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.
00:34Ronnie, look at this. It's a letter to Mr. Clark. I reckon that's Aunt Edie's handwriting.
00:39Aunt Edie? You sure? That's how she does her efforts, isn't it?
00:42Yeah, it looks like them.
00:44Hang on, why would Aunt Edie be writing to Dez? Let's find out.
00:48You can't do that. It's not even open. Nobody needs no introduction.
00:51You can't read something else's mail. Sharon, give me that letter.
00:54Oh, no. What?
00:57You know how Dez said he was going to bid for number 30?
01:00Well, it's for Aunt Edie. She wants him to buy the house for her.
01:04Why would Aunt Edie want to buy a house in Ramsey Street?
01:06I'll give you one guess so she can keep an eye on us.
01:09Oh, Bronnie, that'll ruin everything. She won't let me go out with Nick
01:12and she won't like you seeing Mike.
01:14She'll make us go and live with her. It'll be just like it was at home.
01:16Her breathing down our necks all the time.
01:19You've got to stop it, Bronnie. Whatever happens, we can't let her buy that house.
01:23How can we stop her?
01:25I'll think of something.
01:27I know. Scare her off.
01:29Yeah, what if we tell her lots of rotten things about Ramsey Street?
01:32Don't be silly. We're talking about Aunt Edie.
01:35Nothing puts her off when she's made up her mind.
01:38How do you know unless we try?
01:40Alright. What are you going to say about Ramsey Street?
01:43It's squeaky clean and so are all the people who live here.
01:45No way! All the men are alcoholic, wife-beating communists.
01:49And the women... Come on.
01:51The women are all militant feminists who chew tobacco.
01:54In Ramsey Street?
01:55Yeah. You wouldn't believe it, would you?
01:57No. And neither will she.
02:00Well, maybe not that story.
02:02You reckon she'd leave you in such a terrible place?
02:04Well, we've got to do something, Bronnie.
02:07Excuse me, ladies.
02:09Could you let one of these get away?
02:12And I don't really want any of them getting near Jamie.
02:17What's the matter?
02:18We've got a humongous problem.
02:23I don't believe it.
02:25No, it can't be right.
02:27Where's all the money gone?
02:29What have you done with it, you fiend?
02:32I must have earned more money than that.
02:38Oh, hey, Jane. Come on in.
02:39Thanks.
02:40Boy, it's quiet in here. Are you on your own?
02:42Almost. Harold's lying down. Mum and Scott have gone shopping.
02:45Well, is Mr Bishop all right?
02:46Yeah, he's fine.
02:47Oh, at least he will be when Mum takes him up north for a couple of weeks.
02:50Oh, to visit your grandparents' place?
02:51Yep. Doctor's orders. Scotty's going too.
02:54Oh, no, that's great. I know he's been missing Charlene heaps.
02:56Oh, tell me about it.
02:58Anyway, they've gone shopping. Mum's stocking the freezer so I don't starve to death while they're away.
03:02Oh, you starve. Ha-ha-ha.
03:05Ha-ha-ha. Don't joke. Just been going through my accounts. I'm broke, Jane. Can you believe it? Flat Stoney. I must be one of the hardest working blokes in living history and I have got absolutely nothing to show for them.
03:17Oh, I don't know. What about all the girls you take out and all the time you spend at the waterhole with your mates?
03:23Why do women have to ruin everything by being so sensible?
03:26Sorry.
03:27Yeah, so you should be. I've got to get that new guitar, Jane.
03:29You've just bought one.
03:30Yes, an acoustic, but I want an electric.
03:32No!
03:34Something like I had for the fifties night, but that and a namp. It's going to cost me a couple of grand.
03:37Mmm, Henry, life's tough, isn't it?
03:39Oh, hearty hearty ha. You'll be sorry when I'm a big star.
03:43Mmm, I could say he used to mow our lawns.
03:45No worries.
03:46Do it for me tomorrow.
03:47You bet. Just think 99 more of these. I'm in business.
03:50Oh, you're crazy. Now make sure you take care of Cedric and his little friends, won't you?
03:54Ah, the mangled gnomes. Guard them with my life.
03:56Now that's an idea. Do you know how much that cost?
03:58Well, tell me.
03:59A lot. If you want to be a millionaire, make garden gnomes. That's what I say. See ya.
04:06Gnomes?
04:11I've had it.
04:12What happened to the big man who said cooking was for wimps?
04:15You know, he looked just like you.
04:17Did he?
04:18Oh, charming.
04:20Oh, don't worry Helen, it'll be cleaned up.
04:22I'm not going to help you.
04:24Just a minute, Katie.
04:26Would you mind telling me exactly what you're creating?
04:29Well, it's a sort of a stew with a scone-type topping stuff.
04:32Ah, goulash cobbler.
04:33Yeah, that's it.
04:34Yeah, grandma's was the best.
04:36Where it used to be.
04:37We're back.
04:38In the kitchen, Uncle Jim.
04:39Hi.
04:40G'day.
04:41Hello, Des.
04:42Mmm, something looks good.
04:43Doesn't it? I think we're in for quite a treat.
04:45Beverly not home?
04:47Well, she's still at the hospital, but she won't be long.
04:49Oh, right.
04:50You want to stay and sample some of these blokes, Tucker, mate?
04:53Oh, thanks, mate.
04:54But Bromham was cooking tea for me.
04:56I think she might be a bit crook on me if he didn't turn up.
04:58Well, rightly so.
04:59Mike not home?
05:00No?
05:01I doubt if she'd miss you if he were there to keep her company.
05:04Yeah, they didn't waste any time.
05:06Still, good on them.
05:07I'd better make tracks.
05:08I'll see you at the auction.
05:09Yeah, Des is bidding on number 30 tomorrow.
05:11Oh?
05:12Yeah, for one of our clients.
05:13Oh, obviously confidential.
05:15Obviously.
05:16See you later, fellas.
05:17See you, Des.
05:18Well, real estate being what it is, the house should bring quite a price.
05:21Oh, yeah.
05:22It still needs a lot of work, though.
05:24Uh, not acting for that trainee manager you've got coming, have you?
05:28Oh, fair you go.
05:29A trainee manager at our bank?
05:32Yeah.
05:33Starting on Monday.
05:36There.
05:37There.
05:40Come on.
05:41She can't be that gruesome.
05:42Nobody is.
05:43I don't really know what she's like.
05:44Back home, they call her the narc from Narrabri.
05:46Sharon.
05:47When she goes shopping, Narrabri becomes a ghost town.
05:49Everybody disappears off the streets.
05:51G'day, team.
05:52What's the score?
05:53Mr Clark, you've got to say no.
05:54Don't you like Ramsey Street or something?
05:56What?
05:57Hang on.
05:58What are you talking about?
05:59Aunt Edie.
06:00We don't want her to move into number 30 and you're going to bid for her.
06:02Oh, I am, am I?
06:03How would you know?
06:04Oh, well, I was just helping Ronnie clean up and the letter was just lying there.
06:09Open.
06:10Sharon.
06:11Okay, so I opened it, but only because I recognised her handwriting.
06:14You opened my mail?
06:16I'm sorry, Des, I tried to stop it.
06:18Here, before you blow your stack.
06:19I'll need more than that.
06:20You won't do it though, will you?
06:22I'm not kidding.
06:23If she moves in, I'm moving out.
06:24Excuse me, what happened to I'm sorry for opening your mail?
06:26You got it.
06:27You won't though, will you?
06:28Mr. Clark?
06:29Yeah.
06:30Penelope Porter.
06:31You're a new trainee manager.
06:32Oh.
06:33And this is Mike.
06:34Hi.
06:35Hello.
06:36I'm awfully sorry for just barging in like this.
06:47That's fine.
06:48Sit down.
06:49I had hoped to get to see you at the bank today, but I got delayed.
06:53Mr. Hemming suggested I call on you this evening.
06:55Well, I'm sure he did.
06:56And I'll admit I'm a bit eager.
06:58Well, this is my first time in management.
07:00Oh.
07:01Why don't you let her bid for number 30?
07:03Oh, shut up.
07:04Oh, I mean, only being a trainee, she might muck it up.
07:06I think we'd better leave Des to her.
07:07Good idea.
07:08Come on.
07:09Hang on, hang on.
07:10Where are you going?
07:11Um, Bronwyn, you've just cooked that tea.
07:13It's in the oven.
07:14Mike can get his when he gets back.
07:15Well, I can't leave by myself.
07:17I'm sure Miss Parker would like to have dinner with you, Des.
07:19Porter.
07:20And no, thank you, but I've already eaten.
07:22I'll certainly have a cup of tea though.
07:24Yeah.
07:25Yeah, I'll put the kettle on in a sec.
07:26It's the least I can do.
07:28Well, it's good in here, mate.
07:30She seems all right.
07:31Terrific, Mike.
07:32She's been sent here by Hemmings.
07:33So?
07:34She could be anything from a spy to a hit woman.
07:36He hates my guts.
07:37Right.
07:38That shouldn't take too long.
07:40What if you pretended to be sick tomorrow?
07:42Out!
07:43Oh, quit!
07:44You're hurting me!
07:45Yeah, well, if she doesn't, I will.
07:46Bye.
07:47Yeah, I'll see you later.
07:49Ahem.
07:50Well, I suppose I should tell you a few things about the bank.
07:53Oh, would you mind?
07:54What else are Friday nights for?
07:56And there are a few things that Mr Hemmings wanted me to clear up too.
07:58They shouldn't take too long.
07:59Oh, good.
08:00Well, we haven't even tried yet.
08:01You've chucked the towel in already.
08:02How about lowering your voice to 110 decibels?
08:15What?
08:16Just don't yell.
08:17What's going on?
08:18My little sister's being a pain.
08:19No, I'm not.
08:20You don't want her to buy the house any more than I do.
08:21Oh, right.
08:22But you can't go asking someone in Des's position to do things like that.
08:23Says who?
08:24Uh, excuse me, but would someone mind explaining to me what's going on?
08:25We've just found out that Aunt Edie's asked Des to bid for it tomorrow's auction.
08:26Next door.
08:27Yeah.
08:28Be honest, Bron.
08:29Tell them what she's like at home.
08:30Well, I must admit I would prefer if she stayed in Narrabri.
08:33Well, I don't know why you're panicking.
08:34I mean, someone's probably going to outbid her anyway.
08:35Well, that's right.
08:36Do you know what the limit is?
08:37150,000.
08:38Are you sure?
08:39Well, it was in the letter.
08:40Well, why are you going to get out of this position to do things like that?
08:41Well, I'm just going to get out of this position to do things like that.
08:42Says who?
08:43Uh, excuse me, but would someone mind explaining to me what's going on?
08:45We've just found out that Aunt Edie's asked Des to bid for it tomorrow's auction.
08:47Next door.
08:48Yeah.
08:49Be honest, Bron, tell them what she's like at home.
08:51Well, Mike's right.
08:52Do you know what the limit is?
08:53150,000.
08:54Are you sure?
08:55Well, it was in the letter.
08:57Well, Mike is right.
08:58I mean, if Des is only authorised to go to a certain figure, then that's it.
09:01But 150,000?
09:03Is anyone likely to bid more than that?
09:05It's a pretty ordinary sort of house.
09:07Who knows?
09:08Well, you've got to do something.
09:10Oh, yeah?
09:11Well, what do you suggest?
09:13Well, here it is.
09:20Bertie Ramsey Street, Ehrensborough.
09:23Auction today.
09:24Delightful family residence.
09:26Established gardens and lawns.
09:28Three bedrooms, lounge, dining room.
09:30Immediate occupation.
09:31Plenty of scope for improvement.
09:32Mm-hmm.
09:33Translated, that means it's better than living under a bridge,
09:35but find a fortune if you want to make it fit for human habitation.
09:38Such cynicism.
09:39Really, Grant?
09:40Believe me, that's exactly what it means.
09:42Probably right.
09:43Listen, do you reckon I ought to leave a sleeping, or should I take Beverly some breakfast?
09:46I'll let her sleep.
09:47Oh, at last.
09:48I thought I was going to have to dip out on my second cuppa.
09:51Sorry.
09:52I've been trying to talk Nick into going fishing with me, but he won't be in it.
09:55Where are you planning to go?
09:56Just down the Norman Street Bridge.
09:58That's filthy.
09:59There's some big eels down there.
10:01Forget it.
10:02I think that's an interesting subject to paint.
10:05The bridge, not the eels.
10:06Do you reckon?
10:07Good for perspective.
10:08Yeah, it would be, wouldn't it?
10:10She means paint on canvas, not on the bridge itself.
10:13Oh.
10:14Hello?
10:15Anyone home?
10:16Yeah, come in.
10:17Morning.
10:18Oh, sorry.
10:19I didn't know you were having breakfast.
10:20I just want to talk to Nick if that's all right.
10:21Yeah, sure.
10:22I'm just going to make another cup of tea.
10:23Do you know what?
10:24Another Herbie.
10:25Are you doing anything today?
10:26I really need your help.
10:27No way.
10:28He's coming fishing with me.
10:29Todd!
10:30He promised.
10:31No, I didn't.
10:32I said I'd think about it.
10:33Sorry, Todd.
10:34It's an emergency.
10:35Can we talk on the way to my place?
10:36Yeah.
10:37Get my roses!
10:39Come on through, Henry.
10:41There goes our quiet Saturday.
10:43Morning, all.
10:44The door was slightly ajar, so I thought I'd drop in and see Todd.
10:47Forget it, Henry.
10:48I'm going fishing.
10:49Hey, is there any way to talk to your best mate?
10:52Gary Link's my best mate.
10:53He doesn't make me mow lawns on the weekend.
10:55Hey, fucker.
10:57Would I ask you to do something like that?
10:59Yes.
11:00Well, not anymore.
11:01You know why?
11:02Because now I've found a way to make big money.
11:04Henry.
11:05It's all legit, Jim.
11:06And if it goes as well as I think, Todd here will be the youngest taxpayer in Ramsey Street.
11:11Heaps and heaps of bucks.
11:13Interested?
11:14You bet.
11:15Then step next door, young man.
11:16I'll show you what it's all about.
11:17See you later, folks.
11:18Yeah, bye.
11:19Whatever happened to our peaceful day?
11:21Hmm.
11:22What a good kid.
11:24He's on his toys further and further every day.
11:26Oh, kick him out, I say.
11:27Oh, don't tempt me.
11:28I've got better things to do than this.
11:30Well, leave it.
11:31Bronwyn's going to be here soon.
11:32Oh, is this supposed to make me feel better?
11:33Come on, Des.
11:34It wasn't her fault about last night.
11:35She gave Sharon a real serve about what happened.
11:37Oh, that's really big of her.
11:38Well, it is.
11:40Look, she thinks a lot of you, you know.
11:41Oh, I'm sorry, mate.
11:42This portal woman's got me on edge.
11:44She seemed all right to me.
11:46All right.
11:47Yeah, look, just because Gordon Hemmings hates your guts, that makes her some kind of big bad monster, does it?
11:52Yeah.
11:53Yeah.
11:54Well, it also makes you look a bit paranoid as well.
11:58Hi.
11:59Morning.
12:00Just be careful what you say because one of us is in a really bad mood.
12:02I am not.
12:03All right, I am, but not with you.
12:07I really am sorry about last night, Des.
12:09Yeah, it's all right, Summer.
12:11Look, whatever you do, don't mention Penelope Porter.
12:13Mike!
12:14Well, she's just pulled up.
12:15What?
12:16Where?
12:17Out the front.
12:27Good morning, Mr. Clark.
12:28I hope you don't mind, but I was thinking after I left here last night, maybe it would be a good idea if I saw you in action.
12:34What do you mean?
12:35At the auction.
12:36You don't mind, do you?
12:37No, I was just about to head over there, shall we?
12:40Des.
12:42Don't try too hard, will you?
12:48Bye.
12:49Ah, here's the man with all the money.
12:57Good morning, Des.
12:58Hello.
12:59This is Penelope Porter.
13:00Penelope starts at the bank on Monday.
13:02Alan Daniels, Jim Robinson.
13:03Hi.
13:04You must be the trainee manager, Des has been telling us all about.
13:07Good luck with it.
13:09I shouldn't be giving out too much opposition.
13:10George Coleman will probably be bidding, but the rest of them look like they're just here for a sticky bit.
13:14You never know.
13:15Probably have at least one or two ring-ins.
13:17Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to number 30 Ramsey Street.
13:22A charming family residence that I'm sure will change hands in the next 20 minutes.
13:30Well, there it is, ladies and gentlemen.
13:32What more can I tell you?
13:33Fifteen squares of very desirable real estate just waiting for you to make at your home.
13:38The contract's an uncomplicated document, so you've no worries there.
13:42Any questions on the contract?
13:44Anyone expecting a phone call?
13:48I think that might be us.
13:50I'll leave you to it.
13:51Let me know what happens.
13:52There he goes.
13:53His wife's bought too much shopping, and would he please pick her up in the car because she can't carry it all?
13:59No questions?
14:01Well, that leaves me with just one thing to say, ladies and gentlemen.
14:06What am I bid for number 30 Ramsey Street, Erinsborough?
14:11One hundred thousand dollars?
14:13Who'll start me with one hundred thousand dollars?
14:15No?
14:16No?
14:17All right.
14:18Ninety.
14:19Ninety thousand!
14:20Ninety!
14:21Ninety!
14:22Ninety thousand dollars!
14:23What's going on?
14:24A usual start to an oxy.
14:26You people are really going to make me work this morning, aren't you?
14:29Let's be really silly then and start at 80.
14:32Now, come on.
14:33There's got to be somebody out there with a sense of humour.
14:36Thank you, sir.
14:3780.
14:3880 I have.
14:39Looking for 90.
14:4085.
14:4185.
14:4285.
14:43Looking for 90.
14:44The lady just here.
14:48I have 90.
14:49I have 90.
14:50I'll see how Jim is.
14:56Don't tell me it's over already.
14:58No, but it suddenly occurred to me that Beverly might need a hand if that was a call from the hospital.
15:02Ah, well it was a call from the hospital, but just ringing to say that her patients from last night are responding well to treatment and she didn't have to go in.
15:08Oh, good.
15:09I must say Des seemed a little tense because that young woman was there.
15:14Yeah, she seemed quite pleasant.
15:16I'm a little worried about the old Des.
15:18He was saying last night he thought she might be a spy from head office.
15:23After what Paul and Gail went through with Derek Morris, I don't suppose he trusts anyone.
15:30Something wrong?
15:31Oh, well, I suppose I'm just being a bit oversensitive, but I can't help wondering why Paul didn't come to me when he had trouble.
15:38I suppose he considers himself a big boy now.
15:40Yeah, but that's what fathers are for.
15:43If they don't still have a house full of small children.
15:47Yeah, not to mention the new addition that's about to pop up any day.
15:50Oh, stop it. You two have never been happier since you made up your mind.
15:54Hmm.
15:56How come I get all the heavy stuff?
15:58Because my son, you're a growing boy and growing boys need to build up their muscles.
16:02You've always got an answer for getting out of work, haven't you?
16:05Years and years of practice, bucko. Years and years of...
16:08Yes, indeed.
16:11Have a look at this, will you? It's exactly what we wanted, right?
16:14How would I know? You haven't told me what we're doing yet.
16:16Have faith, kiddo. Have I ever given you the bumps, dear?
16:19Yes.
16:20Let me put it another way. You'd trust me with your life, wouldn't you?
16:23No.
16:24I'm getting some very bad negative vibes here, partner.
16:27Don't you want to earn a million bucks?
16:28Sure, but how?
16:31Gnomes. Ordinary everyday garden gnomes.
16:34What about them?
16:35We are going to manufacture and distribute them. In fact, I bought them holds this morning.
16:38Names, I hate them.
16:39Ah, production costs to us, 75 cents. Selling price, $15.
16:45I love them.
16:46We'll be partners. You'll be the junior partner, of course. That'll be an 80-20 split.
16:50With me doing all the work, no way.
16:52I'm supplying materials and doing the marketing.
16:5550-50.
16:5670-30.
16:58You're right.
16:59You're a hard man to do business with, Landers.
17:03Now, stand back.
17:05Watch a master at work.
17:06So, what if he comes out and says the vendor was happy with the price?
17:15It means Coleman's going to get it and you'll miss out.
17:16Yeah.
17:17Well, no, no, no.
17:18They always speak to the vendor if the reserve hasn't been reached.
17:19It doesn't have to mean anything.
17:20You watch.
17:21They'll come out and say that although the reserve hasn't been reached, they're very close to it.
17:23Watch.
17:24Well, you're the bank manager, I suppose.
17:25Sorry to keep you waiting, ladies and gentlemen.
17:26We've consulted with the vendor and it would seem that although his reserve hasn't been reached,
17:27we're very close to it.
17:28Gosh, it must be great to be so old and wise, eh, Diz?
17:29Now, the bid is with the gentleman there.
17:30It's not.
17:31It's not.
17:32It's not.
17:33It's not.
17:34It's not.
17:35It's not.
17:36It's not.
17:37It's not.
17:38It's not.
17:39It's not.
17:40It's not.
17:41It's not.
17:42It's not.
17:43It's not.
17:44It's not.
17:45It's not.
17:47And it would seem that although his reserve hasn't been reached, we're very close to it.
17:51Gosh, it must be great to be so old and wise, eh, Diz?
17:54Now, the bid is with the gentleman there at $144,000.
17:59I'll now take $1,000 bids.
18:01Looking for $145,000.
18:02$145,000.
18:04Thank you, sir.
18:05$146,000 to the lady here.
18:07$146,000.
18:08$141,000.
18:09$147,000 with you again.
18:11$147,000.
18:13$147,000.
18:14$148,000.
18:15Thank you, sir.
18:16Would you wake at 149, sir?
18:19149, thank you, madam.
18:20149, looking for 150.
18:22Looking for 150.
18:23Here goes my last shot.
18:25150, thank you, sir.
18:27And straightaway 151 with the lady.
18:29The bids with the lady.
18:30Well, it shoots us down in flames.
18:32Now, if there are any sleepers, now's the time to show yourselves.
18:35I don't think you had a hope.
18:36The old deer's going to go on forever.
18:38Who is she? You haven't seen her any before, have you?
18:40No.
18:41Going once at 151.
18:44Going twice at 151.
18:46For the third and last time.
18:48At 151,000 dollars.
18:52Sold.
18:53To the lady down here.
18:55Would you step forward, please, madam?
18:57Hang on.
18:58Hang on.
18:58What's up?
19:00Excuse me, madam.
19:01I think you'd better sign the contract.
19:03I'll do it later.
19:04I don't think the auctioneer would be too happy with that.
19:06Come on, I'll give you a hand.
19:08Congratulations.
19:10If you'd like to step inside, we'll do the paper.
19:12Tell me something, Mr Barney.
19:13When was the last time you sold a house to a 16-year-old schoolgirl?
19:17Good times.
19:18Good times.
19:28Good times.
19:29Bye.
19:29Robert.
19:29Everybody needs good neighbors.
19:32Just a friendly way every morning helps to make a better day.
19:39Neighbors need to get to know each other
19:48Next door is only a footstep away
19:56Neighbors, everybody needs good neighbors
20:05With a little understanding
20:09You can find the perfect plan
20:15Neighbors should be there for one another
20:22That's when good neighbors become good friends
20:39Coop
20:41I'm how we're making good cars
