00:00Neighbors, everybody needs good neighbors. With a little understanding, you can find the perfect blend.
00:16Neighbors should be there for one another. That's when good neighbors become good friends.
00:34An errands borough seems as good a place as any.
00:38Shaz, you just can't turn your light up.
00:40I see your friend found you. I wasn't sure if I should tell her where you were.
00:46But she insisted she was a very close friend.
00:48No, that's all right, Mrs Mangle. As a matter of fact, she's not really a friend.
00:53You assured me that you were...
00:55What I mean is, she's my sister.
00:58Sister? Why didn't she say so?
01:01She wanted to surprise me.
01:04I see. The sisters, you don't seem very alike.
01:10Oh, we are, really. It's just that Bronnie takes everything so seriously.
01:14She wasn't always like that. When we were kids, she was almost human, eh, Bron?
01:18Um, Mrs Mangle, Sharon's actually come for a bit of a visit.
01:23I don't suppose she could stay here while she's in errands borough?
01:26Certainly not. I couldn't take another lodger at such short notice.
01:31Perhaps if she'd written to say she was coming, we could have made some arrangements.
01:36Well, Mrs Mangle, I really do need somewhere to stay.
01:41You see, the truth is, my dad doesn't...
01:44He doesn't know how I'm getting on here, right, Chess?
01:47I guess he wants Sharon to check up on me
01:49and make sure I'm staying in a good house and everything.
01:52She did say she wrote a letter, but it must have gone astray.
01:55Well, your father sounds like a responsible person at least.
02:00Yes. It's really important for Dad to know how I'm living,
02:03what sort of people I'm staying with.
02:05I'm sure he'd be pleased to know it's someone as upright and respectable as you, Mrs Mangle.
02:10I knew that as soon as I saw you. I said to myself,
02:13Dad and Bill, he's our brother, would really like Mrs Mangle.
02:17You think so?
02:18Oh, yes.
02:20Um, I'm sorry, Mrs Mangle.
02:22I know it's an awful inconvenience, but isn't there any chance Sharon could stay?
02:27It'd only be for a couple of days.
02:29Hey, no, Bron, no.
02:31I don't want to put Mrs Mangle to any trouble.
02:33Dad'll understand.
02:35I've been saving Huddle this year
02:37and I've got enough to stay in a motel for a couple of days.
02:40Of course it means I won't be able to buy all those art books for college,
02:44but I'll get by somehow.
02:46There's no need to bother Mrs Mangle with our problem, Sharon.
02:49It's not a problem, I'll manage.
02:50Oh, very well you can stay, but only for a day or two.
02:55And you have to know that my health isn't as good as it was.
02:59An extra guest could cause considerable strain on me.
03:03So you really must try not to be any trouble at all.
03:06You won't even know she's here.
03:08Will she, Sharon?
03:09No, the invisible girl, that's me.
03:11Hmm.
03:17Thought I'd never get him settled.
03:18Just as well birthday has only come once a year.
03:20Oh, well, he had a good time though, didn't he?
03:22He didn't know what toy to play with first.
03:24In the end, that toy drummer yours was the unchallenged favourite.
03:27Yeah, he really took to it, didn't he?
03:28I don't think Harold enjoyed the noise too much though.
03:30Oh, he had things on his mind.
03:33He mentioned that Lisa Ireland has resigned from Lacerda's.
03:36She's not going to stay on at the coffee shop either.
03:39Yeah, well that's been coming for a while.
03:40I just hope you find someone good to replace her.
03:42Yeah, well in the meantime, it means all the more work for you.
03:45Yeah, well my study load's getting heavier lately.
03:47I just wish I had a bit more time to concentrate on it.
03:49Hmm.
03:50Well, Harold's got the CES looking for a replacement.
03:53Um, you could always put a sign in the coffee shop to speed things up.
03:56Yeah, you know, that could be the go.
03:58The amount of kids that are coming there, we're bound to find someone pretty soon.
04:01I wish it was that easy at the bank.
04:02The red tape I have to go through to replace staff.
04:05That reminds me, Pete kept a pretty low profile at the party, didn't he?
04:08Yeah.
04:09I just wish he'd get this idea out of his head that he's let everyone down.
04:13I'll have a word with him at work tomorrow.
04:15Someone's got to make him see that it's not the end of the world.
04:17Yeah.
04:18We're good if we could.
04:19The sooner he gets back to his old self, the better.
04:21Yeah.
04:22There's only one thing that takes better than ham and pineapple pizza.
04:25That is ham and pineapple pizza when you are starved.
04:29Yeah, that's for sure.
04:31Um, mate, not that I'm sort of counting or anything, but...
04:36Isn't that your third piece?
04:38So what?
04:40Well, it was just that while you were in training, you wouldn't even touch pizza if your life depended upon.
04:45Well, I'm not in training now.
04:47Still, it's best not to go overboard.
04:50You, uh, want to keep in shape just in case you change your mind.
04:53No way.
04:54You serious?
04:56You better believe it.
04:57I tell you, mate, now that I've made up my mind, it's like...
05:00It's like having a gigantic weight lifted off me.
05:03I don't even care how much of my life I've already wasted just as long as I know now that it's all over.
05:08You don't really believe that, do you?
05:11What would you call it?
05:12Well, I mean, it's definitely not wasted.
05:15Look, even if you don't want to go into competition anymore, there's heaps of ways you can use what you've learnt.
05:21The only thing I've learnt is that I must have been crazy to put all my time and effort into something that wasn't going anywhere.
05:27No, no, no, I mean it.
05:28Well, for example, you could always help Coach Todd's athletic squad at school.
05:32They could really use expert help.
05:33Yeah, and have a great laugh at the hero who never was.
05:36Pete, the kids think it's great you got as far as you did.
05:39You're the only one putting you down.
05:42Anyway, that's not the point.
05:43There's no way to encourage any kid to go through what I did.
05:46Now, can we drop it?
05:51They're still going to acre.
05:53The pot's got a funny place to keep them.
05:55I was going to hook those butcher books.
05:57Are you girls going to be all night without washing up?
06:00Just finishing, Nan.
06:01Doesn't your sister ever stop talking?
06:05I think it's probably the novelty of having so many new people to talk to after being stuck on the farm all their life.
06:10Well, let's hope the novelty will wear off quickly.
06:13It's really good of you to let her stay.
06:16Yes.
06:17As long as she's no trouble and meets her share of the expenses.
06:20I'll make sure of that.
06:22Let's get a little chewy.
06:24I think I'll get that extra rug out of the cupboard and put it on her bed.
06:28But why don't you want Bron to meet you for lunch tomorrow if you can tell me all about them.
06:31Okay, that's great.
06:32Rachel, I'll tell her.
06:33Hey, Bron.
06:34Then tell her.
06:35Why don't you think you should ask her?
06:36She might want to go.
06:37Of course she will.
06:38Hey, Bron.
06:39I just arranged with Jane for the three of us to have lunch tomorrow.
06:41Only if you want and we don't mind either way.
06:42No.
06:43I'd like to.
06:44As long as Des and Mike don't mind.
06:46Of course I might.
06:47Why would they?
06:49What are you doing?
06:51I picked up a new nail polish this afternoon.
06:53I want to see how it looks.
06:55Didn't know they had that many earrings in captivity.
06:57Oh, these.
06:58They're only my special favourites.
06:59I took off in such a hurry I had to leave the rest behind.
07:02Bronwyn, about Sharon being here.
07:05I don't think it's such a good idea not telling Nan the truth about why she's here.
07:09I know.
07:10I'm sorry, Jane.
07:12It was the only way I could see her being allowed to stay.
07:14And if she has to be in errands bar, I'd like her here where I can keep an eye on her.
07:18Oh, thanks a lot.
07:19But if you feel that strongly, maybe we should tell her.
07:22Well, it's come this far.
07:24I suppose it's only a couple of days.
07:27What are you doing?
07:29Oh, trying out a nail polish.
07:30Do you like it?
07:31Clear away all that mess at once.
07:33And if you must paint your nails, do it in the bathroom over a sheet of old newspaper.
07:37It's only nail polish, you know, not liquid plutonium.
07:40Sharon!
07:41Oh, sorry.
07:42Okay, bathroom.
07:44Oh, look what you've done.
07:46It's all right, I've got it.
07:48Oh.
07:49Oh, my doily.
07:51You've ruined my doily.
07:53My mother crocheted that, and now look at it, really.
07:56We'll clean everything up, Mrs. Mangle, honestly.
07:58You won't know anything happened.
07:59And this is the one that wasn't going to cause any trouble.
08:02What is your idea of trouble, burning the house down?
08:06Sorry.
08:07Sorry.
08:08Sorry.
08:23Tell me, me.
08:24Yes, Bromlin?
08:25Well, if it isn't the best-selling author.
08:28How's the book coming along?
08:29Like a rocket.
08:30Oh, good.
08:31The nuns will be pleased.
08:32What are you two talking about?
08:33Private joke.
08:34I'll let you have an autographed copy as soon as it's finished.
08:36Oh, thanks.
08:37Des?
08:38Is it all right if Sharon stays for a while?
08:41Just for company?
08:42Sure.
08:43Now, Des, I'm only working the morning shift, so I'll be home for lunch.
08:45I'm coming home for lunch, too.
08:46I'll catch up with you then.
08:47Right.
08:48Mike, I don't suppose, since you're going to be here anyway, well, Jane and Sharon have invited
08:54me to lunch.
08:55Oh, I see.
08:56And you think I've got nothing better to do than look after Jamie while the three of you
08:59swan around some restaurant?
09:00Just a thought to me.
09:01I'm only joking.
09:02Of course I will.
09:03I'd love to.
09:04What's up?
09:05I suppose I'd better go and wake Jamie.
09:07Oh, he's sleeping late.
09:08Yeah, all that excitement after yesterday.
09:10I'll get his breakfast moving.
09:12Well, you've sure got yourself nice and settled in.
09:15Yeah, I've been pretty lucky, you're telling me.
09:18I could live in a neighbourhood like this, no trouble at all.
09:21No, don't even think about it.
09:24But, Bronnie, wouldn't you like us to be together again?
09:27You know you've always been my favourite sister.
09:29I'm your only sister.
09:31Well, yeah, but I know a lot of other people's sisters and I like you better than them.
09:36Please, Bronnie, can't I stay?
09:37Two or three days.
09:38That's what we agreed and we're sticking to it.
09:39Then it's back home.
09:40Mrs. Mangle wouldn't let you stay longer anyway.
09:41Don't worry about old Nell.
09:42I could sweet-talk her any day.
09:43Oh.
09:44Is that what you were doing last night with a nail polish when you nearly got us both kicked
09:45out?
09:46I apologise.
09:47No problem.
09:48A couple more days and Mrs. M and I'll be like that.
09:49I wouldn't bet on it.
09:50There.
09:51I told you there was a stain.
09:52No.
09:53Well, there is.
09:54Look at it from here.
09:55Well, that's just the light.
09:56Well, we cleaned it all out and it was just an accident.
09:57Well, I wonder how many more accidents we're going to have before that girl leaves.
09:58I should never have agreed to let us stay.
09:59Oh.
10:00Oh.
10:01Is that what you were doing last night with a nail polish when you nearly got us both kicked
10:02out?
10:03I apologise.
10:04No problem.
10:05A couple more days and Mrs. M and I'll be like that.
10:06I wouldn't bet on it.
10:07There.
10:08I told you there was a stain.
10:09Nan.
10:10Well, there is.
10:11Look at it from here.
10:12Well, that's just the light.
10:13We cleaned it all out and it was just an accident.
10:15I wonder how many more accidents we're going to have before that girl leaves.
10:18I should never have agreed to let us stay.
10:21One thing worries me, Nan, having Sharon and Bronwyn in the house.
10:24What happens if one of them comes across the gun?
10:27I've put it away where no one can find it.
10:29Wouldn't it solve everything if we just handed it in to the police?
10:32I will not have the whole world learning the truth about your uncle.
10:36But we don't know what the truth is.
10:38If we just found Uncle Joe and gave it back to him, at least we'd be rid of it.
10:41Jane, I'll thank you not to mention that man's name in my presence again.
10:44The subject is closed.
10:48You know, it's not like Pete's refused to help the kids out.
10:51Hmm.
10:52I was sure he'd go for it, though.
10:53He wouldn't even listen.
10:55I reckon the thing to do is just avoid the subject in athletics for a while.
10:58Let him get over it.
10:59But there must be something we can do to help, no?
11:01What?
11:02Well, even if we can get him to smile, I mean, that'd be a start, wouldn't it?
11:06I've got an idea.
11:07Pete loves a good practical joke, right?
11:08Mm-hmm.
11:09If we can put something over on him, he's going to be so busy trying to get us back,
11:12he won't have time to feel sorry for himself.
11:15So what are we doing?
11:16Well, I thought of the idea.
11:17You think of the joke.
11:18Okay, okay, well...
11:19Well, don't take a hundred years.
11:20We've got to have it ready for him when we see him.
11:22Why don't we tie his shoelaces together?
11:24Oh, great, Scott.
11:25We might as well forget about the whole thing.
11:26Well, what do you expect in ten seconds, mate?
11:27Just give me a little bit of time, alright?
11:29Forget about it.
11:30You've blown it.
11:31So what about Lisa, um...
11:34She's finished?
11:35Yeah, is she...
11:36G'day, Pete.
11:37Oh, I just rose and toast some coffee, thanks, mate.
11:39Right.
11:40So you're back to work then?
11:41Yeah.
11:42I bet you can't wait.
11:43The crinkle of money, the aroma of $100 notes, hey?
11:46I've got to go.
11:47I know what they're all going to be thinking.
11:49Pete, they're all going to be thinking,
11:52how did we ever get along without him?
11:54You've got to cheer up, mate.
11:58Hello, a coffee shop.
12:01Oh, g'day, Dez.
12:03Yeah, he's just here.
12:05I can't believe it.
12:07Yeah, I'll just tell him, okay?
12:09See you, mate.
12:11That was Dez on the phone.
12:13Yeah?
12:14He wants you to get over to the bank as soon as possible.
12:16Why? What's wrong?
12:17Apparently they've just done this snap audit
12:19and, uh, the money in your book before you went away,
12:22well, it's like $2,000 short or something.
12:24What?
12:27What's wrong?
12:28Pete?
12:29What?
12:31What? I've got to go.
12:32Pete, it was a joke.
12:33Come back.
12:34What?
12:35It was Scott on the phone next door.
12:36It was pretty good, though.
12:38You nearly gave me a heart attack.
12:41That's all I need.
12:42I was just trying to cheer you up.
12:44I don't want to be cheered up, all right?
12:45I came here for some food.
12:48Now, can I have it without all this mucking around,
12:50or do I have to go somewhere else?
12:53Sorry.
12:58He certainly loves that drum.
12:59Yep.
13:00Another major musical talent takes after his old man, of course.
13:03You play drums?
13:04I have a bit of a bash there, mate.
13:06Oh.
13:07I think it's great you two are so close.
13:09I'm his dad.
13:10He's got to be nice to me, otherwise you don't get fed, hey?
13:13No, it's more than that.
13:15Bronnie and I used to be really close, too.
13:18It's such a shame we have to split up now.
13:20Oh, that's between you two.
13:22You're crazy for wanting to move to the city.
13:24If I had my choice, I'd be living in some small country town somewhere.
13:27Okay, let's swap.
13:28You move to Narrabri, I'll stay here.
13:30See you, nipper.
13:33Hey, what's this?
13:34What's wrong?
13:36This rubber tips loose just pulls off.
13:38That's dangerous.
13:40I'll glue it on when I get home from work.
13:42Just keep it away from him till then, eh?
13:43Oh, that's a shame.
13:44Well, you can live without it for a few hours.
13:47God.
13:48All right.
13:49See you, mate.
13:50See you later.
13:51Bye, Diz.
13:55What?
13:56You know, a knock off the lobby.
13:59I've told you, you have to go home and I'm not changing my mind.
14:02You can't blame me for trying to stir up a bit of support.
14:05Well, from now on, just don't.
14:21Good luck, Becca Rory.
14:23I'll get through it.
14:25Come on, Pete.
14:26The joke was pretty stupid.
14:27We were just trying to help you feel better.
14:29Yeah, well, I don't want your help or anyone else's, mate.
14:31Hey, come on.
14:32Everybody needs mates sometimes, you know?
14:34You helped me once before, remember?
14:36To get to Canberra?
14:37That turned out really great, didn't it?
14:39Hi, Mrs. Anne.
14:40Oh, hello, Sharon.
14:41I thought you were spending the morning at the clocks.
14:42Oh, it got too boring.
14:44All Brawny does is clean house and wash nappies.
14:45They call her a nanny.
14:46But if you ask me...
14:47Oh, hello, Sharon.
14:48I thought you were spending the morning at the clocks.
14:49Oh, it got too boring.
14:50All Brawny does is clean house and wash nappies.
14:51They call her a nanny.
14:52But if you ask me, she's just a hired housewife.
14:54I don't see what's so wrong with being just a housewife.
14:55Oh, no.
14:56It's fine if you like that sort of thing.
14:57But if you ask me, she's just a hired housewife.
14:58I don't see what's so wrong with being just a housewife.
14:59Oh, no, it's fine if you like that sort of thing.
15:06A lot of people take pride in keeping their homes neat.
15:09I don't see what's so wrong with being just a housewife.
15:12Oh, no, it's fine if you like that sort of thing.
15:15A lot of people take pride in keeping their homes neat.
15:18just a housewife oh no it's fine if you like that sort of thing a lot of people take pride in keeping
15:26their homes neat and tidy especially when other people keep spilling things oh yeah sorry about

17:35accident it was actually mike taking the shots with me for the lassiter's girl that well led to
17:40the american contract and you gave it all up still do modeling part-time i just didn't want to do it
17:45badly enough to leave all my family and friends behind anyway i enjoy working for paul yeah it
17:50sounds like a great job too i could really get interested in hotel management you think i'd be
17:55better at that than modeling or maybe i should try modeling you'll have to make up your own mind sharon
18:00but there's no point in jumping at every idea that comes into your head you have to decide what you
18:03want go after it i know but there's just so much in the city it's mind-boggling up the bush there's
18:08nothing it won't be all that bad it's ten times worse if i could only get it across to bronnie the
