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.
00:46Jane! Oh, Jane. What do you know about an American trip?
00:53Who told you about that?
00:55Some travel agency phones say that they've confirmed your booking.
00:59I'm sorry, Nan. I didn't want for you to find out like this.
01:03Find out what?
01:04Please come sit down.
01:06Well, there's obviously some mistake.
01:10No, Nan, there's no mistake.
01:13You see, Rosemarie invited myself and Gail over to America to help promote Lasseter's and the Daniels Corporation.
01:19But I said I wasn't interested.
01:21But you never mentioned it to me.
01:23Well, I thought you might be upset about it.
01:24I certainly would.
01:26Anyway, I've changed my mind.
01:29I talked to Paul about it and the offer still stands and...
01:32Well, I'm taking it.
01:33No!
01:34It's all been arranged, Nan.
01:36I know why you're doing this. You're running away because of that Scott Robinson nonsense.
01:41Yeah, I suppose I am.
01:43But people would say it's all true that there was more to it than just a harmless kiss.
01:48Nan, it was just a harmless kiss as far as Scott's concerned.
01:52But I've told you, it was more than that to me.
01:55Oh, Jane, please, you mustn't say such things.
01:58I've been over at the Robinsons defending you.
02:01I can't help it, Nan. I started to care about Scott.
02:04Jane!
02:05He doesn't know and he never will know.
02:09The last thing I wanted was to hurt either Charlene or Scott and...
02:13Well, now everything's such a mess.
02:15I think it's best for me to just leave and let them get on with their lives.
02:19I think you've all gone crazy.
02:21I've never seen Scott kissing Jane Harris.
02:24Why would I?
02:25Charlene thinks he did.
02:27She's wrong.
02:28Now, where is she anyway?
02:30Oh, Henry, you stay away from her.
02:31After she'd been out looking for you, she cried herself to sleep.
02:34Are you sure you're telling me the truth?
02:36Mum, for the last time, I did not see Scott kissing Jane.
02:39I never said I did.
02:41Even if he did kiss her, what's the big deal?
02:43How are we just talking about a kiss?
02:45That kiss is breaking your sister's heart.
02:47I'm going to answer that.
02:48And if it's no mangle, I'll wring her neck.
02:53Now, Harold, am I glad to see you.
02:55Oh, Nat, is this true that Scott and Charlene are separating?
02:57Yes, he's moved back next door.
02:59But it's all a big stink over nothing, Harold.
03:01It'll blow over.
03:02Oh, it will with our help.
03:03Now, I did warn you, Madge, that young marriages are fraught with danger.
03:06Harold, if you came here to say I told you so, you can just leave.
03:09No, no, no, no.
03:10Madge, I was the one who supported them when they wanted to get married.
03:12Good.
03:13Then you can take part of the blame for the mess they're in now.
03:15All I said was I supported them.
03:17You were the one who gave them permission.
03:18Mum, Harold, will you knock it off?
03:20Look, all this arguing isn't going to solve the problem.
03:23Henry's right.
03:24Yeah, Henry is right.
03:26Good.
03:27Then we agree on something.
03:28Now, we'll make a nice cup of tea.
03:30When Charlene wakes up, we'll talk about this calmly and rest on you.
03:38Yeah, well, you are going to have to be one smart cookie to get me through maths.
03:41Well, when you write your first bestseller, I'll expect we'll bring autograph a copy.
03:46A bestseller?
03:47Now, that sounds pretty cool.
03:48I could be an author of it, so I'd have to...
03:50and ask them for a second to move.
03:53OK, hey, well.
03:54Oh, OK.
03:55What's up, I'm good.
03:56OK.
03:57No, Scott, don't stop!
04:11Scott!
04:14What's wrong?
04:16Oh, nothing. I was just dreaming.
04:18You were yelling Scott's name.
04:19Yeah.
04:20Go on.
04:21No.
04:21Go on.
04:24Anderson, love, you've got to stop torturing yourself like this.
04:29Mum, what am I going to do?
04:30You are going to do the only sensible thing.
04:32You're going to tidy yourself up and you're going to go over and sort things out with Scott.
04:36No.
04:36So, Charlene, Henry said he didn't see Scott kissing Jane.
04:42You were wrong about that. You could be wrong about a lot of other things.
04:44Mum, I'm not wrong and I don't want him back.
04:47As far as I'm concerned, it's either.
04:54I just don't get it, Harold.
04:56All this agro over one little kiss.
04:58Henry, when two people are in love, it is so easy to get jealous, let your imagination run right.
05:05Things get blown out of all proportion.
05:07Don't communicate and before you know it, it's over, finished.
05:10Yeah.
05:11And look at you and Mum.
05:12When you guys got engaged, I thought it was for keeps.
05:14Oh, so did I, so did I.
05:17Is she all right, Mum?
05:17No, she's not.
05:19I've never seen her so upset.
05:21Oh, come on.
05:22What about all those tantrums she used to throw when she was little?
05:25Henry, this is not a tantrum.
05:26She is very upset and disturbed and it's worse because Jane was her best friend.
05:30No, Luke, I'm sorry.
05:31I just cannot accept that Jane would do anything to upset Scott and Charlene's marriage.
05:35Neither can I.
05:37Now, don't forget, I've been out with Jane.
05:38I know what I'm talking about.
05:40She's not like that.
05:41No, precisely.
05:42She is a lovely young girl.
05:44And we've all seen how happy Scott is with Charlene.
05:47Now, he's known Jane for years.
05:48If he wanted her, why would he marry Charlene?
05:51It's not unusual for a man to want two women.
05:53Look at your father's track record.
05:55You can't compare Scott with the old man, Mum.
05:58Anyway, I feel sorry for Jane.
06:01I reckon I should go over and hear her side of all this.
06:03You're not going anywhere.
06:04The one you should feel sorry for is your sister.
06:07I do feel sorry for her.
06:09I feel sorry for Scott as well.
06:12Harold's right.
06:13If they don't communicate, they could both end up the way you did.
06:16Unhappy and lonely.
06:17I beg your pardon?
06:19Who's unhappy and lonely?
06:20You are.
06:21You both are.
06:23And all because you're too pig-headed to admit it to each other.
06:29I suppose Dad's told you about Charlene and me.
06:31Yeah, and I think it's the pits.
06:33Have you heard from her?
06:35No.
06:36She only lives next door.
06:38Couldn't you go in there and talk to her?
06:40No way.
06:42This is right, mate.
06:43She said I should have a good long think about it, Dad.
06:46Well, thinking about it doesn't stop you and Charlene
06:49from having a civil conversation.
06:50Yeah, but I've already tried and she won't believe me.
06:53So until she does,
06:54I'm just going to concentrate my exams like you said.
06:56I'm going to stay here if that's okay with you guys.
06:58Well, of course it's okay.
06:59I just wish one of you would make the first move.
07:01That's all.
07:02That's Charlene now, I betcha.
07:03Oh, yeah.
07:04Sure.
07:05Hey, Dad!
07:08Welcome back.
07:09There you go.
07:10All right, Dad, listen, I'd like you to meet Greg Cooper.
07:13Greg, this is my dad, Jim Robert.
07:14Greg, this is Jim.
07:14Well, Gran's probably already told you about Greg taking over from Rob.
07:17No, no, I haven't had time.
07:18What happened to Rob?
07:19Excuse me.
07:20Well, he left.
07:21Well, Greg's the new mechanic now.
07:23And I thought I'd had all the surprises I was going to get for one day.
07:28Harold, it's lovely of you to ask me,
07:30but I'd be lousy company and generously, I would.
07:32No, no, no, no, we'll go for less.
07:33It doesn't just have a nice, quiet meal, eh?
07:35Yeah, just the two of you.
07:37Well, go on, Mum, it'll cheer you up.
07:39It's high time you both went out,
07:41enjoyed an evening together again,
07:43like the good old days.
07:44Well, Charlene's not talking,
07:46so I'm not doing much good here, am I?
07:49Oh, yes, all right.
07:50Marvelous.
07:50Now, don't you worry about Lenny, I'll look after her.
07:53Oh.
07:54I'll get it, Mum.
08:00Oh, hi, Jane.
08:01Hi, Henry.
08:02Um, could I see Charlene, please?
08:04Um, sure, yeah, I'll let her know you're here.
08:07Jane, I'm sorry, I, um, I don't think you should see her.
08:10Well, if I don't talk to her now,
08:11this thing is just going to go on and on.
08:13Yes, well, maybe some other time when she's not so upset.
08:16Well, I can't.
08:17I'm leaving to go to America.
08:18America?
08:19All I want to do before I leave
08:21is convince Charlene that I never intended to come
08:22between her and Scott.
08:24I'm sure she won't see you.
08:25Oh, Madge, um, you know,
08:27Jane didn't have to come over here.
08:29I think we should leave it up to Charlene
08:30as to whether she wants to speak to her or not.
08:32Hmm?
08:33All right.
08:34I'll ask her.
08:34I can't believe it.
08:37You're actually going to America.
08:39What are you going to do over there?
08:41Oh, it's for Lasseter's, you know, publicity, that sort of thing.
08:43Well, how long will you be away?
08:45I'm not sure.
08:46This all happened rather suddenly, didn't it?
08:49Well, no, not, not really.
08:50It's just I made up my mind about it today, that's all.
08:53What helped you to decide?
08:55Not the Charlene and Scott thing.
08:57In a way, yes.
08:58Yeah, it's fine.
08:59Well, what about your nan?
09:00How's she taking all this?
09:01Oh, she's pretty upset, but, well,
09:03Mike will be with her until you move back in, Mr Bishop.
09:05And you will keep an eye on her for me, won't you?
09:07Of course I will.
09:09Just wish you didn't have to go away, that's all.
09:11Yeah, me too.
09:12Look, maybe once you've spoken to Charlene...
09:15Jane, I'm sorry.
09:16She doesn't want to talk about it again.
09:18All right.
09:19Well, at least I tried.
09:21If Charlene doesn't want to speak to me, that's her problem.
09:23But I'm leaving today, so I just wanted to say goodbye.
09:27See you.
09:27Bye.
09:28Yes, goodbye, Jane.
09:30These are pretty impressive references, Greg,
09:32especially this one from Todd Engineering.
09:34Thanks.
09:35Why would you give up a senior position like that?
09:37At the time, I wanted to be more independent.
09:39But I've settled down a lot since then.
09:41I can understand that, Dad.
09:43I was offered a position with Todd myself years ago.
09:46Is Graham Bannister still running things there?
09:49No, no, I don't think so.
09:51This is delicious cake, Mrs Daniels.
09:53Listen, Greg, if you don't mind, I might leave you with the family.
09:56I've got to take someone to the airport.
09:57Yeah, sure, that's OK.
09:58Is it someone famous staying at the hotel?
10:01No, Luce, it's only Jane.
10:02She's off to America.
10:04You mean she's actually decided to go?
10:06Mm-hmm.
10:06What's this about Jane going to America?
10:07Oh, it was something that Rosemary offered her.
10:11Well, they're all really impressed with those posters over there
10:13that she did, so they want to meet her.
10:14Hmm?
10:14Oh.
10:15She turned her down at first,
10:16and then all of a sudden she just changed her mind.
10:18See ya.
10:18Oh, hi.
10:19Bye.
10:20Did you know anything about this, Scott?
10:22Scott?
10:23Scott?
10:30Hi.
10:31Hi.
10:32I'm leaving today.
10:34Yeah, I know.
10:35Is it because of what happened with us?
10:37Nothing happened with us.
10:39I just wish Charlene could understand that.
10:41But that's the reason why you're going, right?
10:43No, not really.
10:44I mean, it's a fantastic opportunity.
10:46Anything could happen in America.
10:49Will you be away long?
10:50I don't know.
10:52Depends.
10:56Now, Jane, you will phone me when you arrive.
10:59Yes, then I promise I will.
11:00Oh, here's the car.
11:07Oh, g'day, Mrs. Mangle.
11:09Are you coming out to the airport, sir?
11:10I can bring you straight back.
11:11No, thank you.
11:12I'm too upset as it is.
11:14Hey, Nan, please don't be upset.
11:16But I may never see you again.
11:19Some Hollywood talent scout will snap you up.
11:22Nan, I will be back, I promise.
11:24You can't get rid of me that easily.
11:26Hey, Scott.
11:29See you.
11:30Good luck.
11:31Thanks.
11:36See you.
11:36See you.
11:46You okay?
11:47Yeah, I'm fine.
11:48I hope you're satisfied, young man.
12:00Jane wouldn't be going anywhere if it wasn't for you.
12:02Henry, I'll get my own dinner.
12:25Don't cook any of that stuff for me.
12:26Stuff?
12:28You call this stuff?
12:30It's all the thanks I get for making your all-time favourite meal.
12:33My favourite meal?
12:34Tom eggs.
12:36What's Tom eggs?
12:38What's Tom eggs?
12:39When you were five years old, you'd kill for a plate of Tom eggs.
12:42It's chopped bacon, onions, tomatoes, all whipped together with egg, dumped into a frying pan and served on toast.
12:48Fantastic.
12:48I'll see you later.
12:52No, you don't.
12:54If Mum thinks you won't eat, she won't go out with hell.
12:56I was hungry till I saw what was on our menu.
13:00Anyway, I want Mum to go.
13:02No point in us all having the miseries.
13:05Look, I'll go and clean up and I'll try and force some of that goo down, alright?
13:09You won't regret it.
13:10Look at that.
13:11Oh, good evening, Harold.
13:20Come on in.
13:21Is your mother ready?
13:22She won't be long.
13:24I am really glad you guys are going out tonight.
13:25Oh, so am I, so.
13:26Ah, how was Charlene?
13:29Depressed.
13:30It is so stupid, all of this way.
13:33Two young people who are obviously correct for each other.
13:36Surely they can sit down and sort it out.
13:38Well, with all due respect, Harold.
13:41You oldies aren't setting them such a good example.
13:43Really?
13:44Well, I mean, look at you and Mum.
13:46Now, Charlene's seen the way you both broke off the engagement
13:48and how neither of you are prepared to do anything about it.
13:51They can hardly criticize Charlene for digging her heels in over Scott.
13:54That is amazing.
13:56Oh, I don't think it is.
13:57No, I mean, exactly that thought occurred to me.
14:00Henry, you can help me.
14:01With what?
14:02Oh, Harold, I'm not running late, am I?
14:04No.
14:05No, no, of course not.
14:06No, you take your time, Madge.
14:07Well, just give me five minutes, would you?
14:08Charlene says you're cooking her dinner.
14:10Yeah, well, I figured I'd beat her.
14:11Otherwise, she'd only feel so hot with junk food.
14:13You know she's like that she's upset.
14:14Well, I'm glad she's eating something nutritious anyway.
14:20Now, this is what I want you to do.
14:22Good evening, Mr. Bishop.
14:28Madam?
14:29Good evening, Peter.
14:30I chose our quietest table.
14:32I hope it's satisfactory.
14:33Perfect, perfect.
14:36Thank you, Peter.
14:37The menu, madam?
14:38Sir?
14:41I'll leave you to choose, and I'll return shortly.
14:43Peter, what's with all this madam business?
14:45You've been calling me Madge at the waterhole for months now.
14:47Yes, but this is a special occasion, madam.
14:53Harold, do you have any idea what all this means?
14:57It means, Madge, my dear, that even the waiter can feel the romance in the air tonight.
15:02Harold, if I didn't know you better, I'd say you'd have one too many.
15:06Madge, you are a beautiful woman.
15:08Oh, Harold.
15:12And all beautiful women deserve...
15:16For you, madam.
15:19From an ardent admirer.
15:24Why?
15:25Oh, you'll see.
15:27You'll see.
15:32Now, Lenny, you sure you'll be okay?
15:34I'll be okay.
15:35I'll be back in about an hour.
15:36Now, if you need me, I'll be at the waterhole.
15:39Henry, I'm not going to slash my wrists.
15:42I'll be all right.
15:43Good.
15:45I can't wait to see you look at my mum's face.
15:47Well, at least there's some romance left in the world.
15:52It takes two to tango, Charlene.
15:55While I'm out, why don't you pick up the phone and talk to Scott?
15:57No, thanks.
16:00I'm going to be late.
16:04Scotty, come in.
16:05We were just talking about you.
16:08Lenny, you remember Scott?
16:09Your husband?
16:10I, um...
16:11I've just come to collect a few of my things, that's all.
16:14Sure, mate, yeah.
16:15Look, you'll have to excuse me now.
16:17I'm running late.
16:17Yeah.
16:18I'm sure you've got a lot to talk about.
16:19No problem.
16:20See you later.
16:21See you later.
16:21I'll see you later.
16:21I'll see you later.
16:27Well?
16:28Haven't got a lot to talk about?
16:29I don't think there's anything more we can say to each other.
16:35Well, if that's the way you feel, I guess there is, then.
16:39So, if you came to collect your things, well, go ahead, take whatever's yours.
16:42Mum said Jane's gone to America.
16:52Yep.
16:54She'll make you happy, shouldn't it?
16:56I bet you wanted to go with her.
16:58No.
17:00But I'll miss her because she's a good friend, and I'll always be there if she needs me.
17:06Look, do you want your things or don't you?
17:07No.
17:07I just wanted an excuse to try and save our marriage, Charlene.
17:12But I can see it was just a total waste of time, wasn't it?
17:23I mean, young people need an example for when their marriages hit hard times.
17:29If you ask me what, they both need a good clip over to you.
17:31Yes, I know, when our kids are small, we do bully them into doing things that we...
17:38Well, only for their own sake.
17:41But Charlene and Scott are beyond that, no?
17:44All we can do is lead our lives in such a way as to set them on the right path.
17:49I mean, look at you and me, for instance.
17:51Harold, I hardly think our track record is a good example.
17:55No, exactly.
17:55I mean, we get engaged, then we split up.
18:00I mean, what must they think?
18:02If things had worked out differently for us, if we'd have been able to resolve our differences,
18:08well, who knows?
18:09Maybe they'd have looked at each other and said,
18:11well, Mum and Harold split up, but they remained friends.
18:14They even went to Lasseter's one night for dinner, and a violin started playing.
18:32Harold.
18:38I know I'm not a romantic man, Madge.
18:40I've jumped in too quickly, I've jumped in too harshly.
18:44I know that my stupid pride has driven a wedge between us.
18:49It's usually my stupid pride that's the problem.
18:53Well, that's of little consequence now, isn't it?
18:57I guess in spite of it all, we have remained good friends.
19:00Yes, we have.
19:01Yes?
19:04That means a great deal to me, Madge.
19:07A great deal.
19:08Excuse me, madam.
19:09There's a telegram for you.
19:11A telegram for me?
19:13Oh, no.
19:15Good evening, sir, and a very good evening to you, madam.
19:18Henry, what on earth are you doing here?

19:44I would have a telegram for you.
19:45I would have to make you to accept thee.
19:49I would have to be in the sweetly perfumed fashion.
19:51I would have to make you to accept thee.
20:28Neighbours need to get to know each other. Next door is only a footstep away. Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours.

21:06That's when good neighbours become friends.
