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.
00:34Sharon, this is no time to be discussing trivial matters. Now kindly replace that ladder.
00:38Let's talk about Nick.
00:39I have nothing to say about him.
00:41Okay, see you.
00:43Sharon, for goodness sake, do something responsible for the first time in your life and get me down from here.
00:48Can I go on seeing him?
00:49I've told you, I'll discuss it when I get down.
00:52And I said I'd sooner talk about it now.
00:55Sharon, I'm most uncomfortable. It's cold up here.
00:59Dark soon, too.
01:01Oh, for heaven's sake, girl, you don't want me to have an accident, do you?
01:04Can I go on seeing Nick?
01:06I've made myself perfectly clear on that matter.
01:09Okay. Good luck up there tonight.
01:12Wait!
01:15You're leaving no choice.
01:17You're conceivable, wretched boy.
01:18Well, why didn't you say so before?
01:23Yes, Mum.
01:25Yep.
01:26No, no problem.
01:28It's the truth.
01:29Everything's hunky-dory.
01:31The house...
01:32The house is fine. It's like a showroom.
01:37Mum, look, I've got to go. There's someone here.
01:41Yes.
01:42I'll see you soon.
01:43And say g'day to Scott and Lenny.
01:45Bye.
01:46G'day.
01:47I was wondering when you wanted me to paint the names.
01:48Oh, did you have to mention that word?
01:49So much for making money out of garden ornaments.
01:50These grinning snowmen have cost me hundreds. I haven't even sold one yet.
02:04Hundreds?
02:05Oh, the carpets had it. I had to call a plumber in front of the house.
02:10Look, can I help?
02:11Mate, it's not your problem. I'll just have to say goodbye to my savings for that electric guitar.
02:16Well, look, you don't have to pay me for painting them. I'll do them for free.
02:19No way. We shook hands on a deal.
02:22But thanks for the offer.
02:23Now, hey, you want some banana thick shakes?
02:24Yeah, sure.
02:26This is my own recipe.
02:29Two litres of milk.
02:31Eight bananas.
02:33And a spoonful of money. You wait till you get this in there.
02:38Thanks about me, Count Edie.
02:40Blackmail.
02:41Hell to ransom by my own lease.
02:44Don't you ever do a thing like that again.
02:46I won't, not now that you've said I can go on seeing him.
02:49It was hardly a balanced decision. I was under duress.
02:52You're not going back on it.
02:54No, you may still see the boy, but only in my presence.
02:57Oh, what?
02:58Well, you don't think I'd let you two be alone together, do you?
03:00You may see him strictly under my supervision and that's final.
03:11That's better. Nothing like a good shower.
03:15How's Dina going?
03:17Oh, about ten minutes.
03:19Could you come here for a minute?
03:25What's up?
03:29Paul, you told me something before that's not true.
03:32And I want to know why.
03:34Sorry?
03:35Keith Franklin.
03:36You couldn't have seen him this afternoon.
03:37He's been in Perth for the last two days.
03:40Did I say Keith Franklin?
03:42I meant Bob Stanton.
03:44Well, you know what it's like when I'm trying to do a million things at once.
03:47Are you saying you saw Bob Stanton this afternoon?
03:50Yeah. What's wrong with that?
03:52Well, he's doing the Anderson contracts, remember?
03:54And why did you say Keith Franklin?
03:56I don't know.
03:58Well, probably because he's doing the Utagawa contracts and I'm hanging out for him to finish them.
04:02So you didn't tell me how you finished up at the waterhole?
04:05No, the tourist bus ended up staying all afternoon.
04:08I won't be sorry when Madge gets back.
04:10So you'll be filling in again tomorrow, will you?
04:13Yeah, I'll have to.
04:14What shift are you going to do?
04:16The afternoon one, I guess.
04:18The hotel's heavily booked so I'll be flat out again.
04:21Do you want me to check on dinner?
04:23No, no, I'll do it.
04:24No, you stay there and relax.
04:26You've been on your feet all day.
04:28Just don't worry about a thing.
04:36Jane, do you think I should streak my hair?
04:37What colour this time?
04:39I don't know, I just feel like a change.
04:41How about one of these?
04:43Aunt Edie'd love that one.
04:45I'll get it.
04:50Oh, hi.
04:51Any chance I can come in?
04:52Sure.
04:54Oh, is your aunt here?
04:55It's all right, we're allowed to see each other.
04:57Oh, how come?
04:58No to deal.
04:59Oh, that's great.
05:00We can go on practicing for the dance.
05:02Not quite, there's a catch.
05:04We have to be supervised.
05:05Hi, Nick.
05:06Oh, hi.
05:07What do you mean supervised?
05:08She wants to be around.
05:10Oh, great.
05:11Oh, it's better than nothing.
05:12She just wants to see if we can behave.
05:14Look, why do we have to prove anything?
05:15She could try trusting us.
05:17You have to be patient.
05:19I got the same treatment from Nan when I was 16.
05:21Take it as a challenge.
05:23My grandmother always trusted me.
05:25She was pretty good about me having friends around.
05:28We'll be all right.
05:30You're allowed to visit me here, that's the main thing.
05:32So long as we can go to the dance after all the work we've put in.
05:35Oh, it's you.
05:36Oh, hi, Mrs. Chubb.
05:38Look, I really appreciate you letting me visit Sharon.
05:41Yes, well, I was coerced rather than persuaded, young man, and I shall expect polite behaviour at all times.
05:46You got it.
05:48I mean, you need have no worries.
05:50Could I please take Sharon over to the Ramseys' house?
05:53For what purpose?
05:54Well, I'm doing a bit of a job for Henry and I want to show her what I've done.
05:57What sort of job?
05:59Painting garden homes. I've just finished the first one.
06:01I see. No, I'm afraid not.
06:03Aunt Edie!
06:04No, I know exactly what will happen.
06:06First you'll put the music on, then you'll start those obscene gyrations of the hips you call dancing.
06:09Look, we won't dance, I promise.
06:11I'll go with them if you like, Mrs. Chubb.
06:12No, that's not necessary.
06:14Sharon, you know the conditions under which you can see this young man.
06:17He may visit you here in my presence and that's all.
06:24Yeah, any time in the afternoon's fine.
06:27The old gal said she's doing another shift at the waterhole.
06:29And Jane can cover for me at the office.
06:32Shall I come over to you?
06:34Well, if you think we're going to get interrupted, you come over here.
06:38No, no, she said she'll be busy all afternoon.
06:42Pardon?
06:44No, she doesn't suspect a thing.
06:47Right, look, I'll stay from the office after lunch.
06:49Yeah.
06:50See you.
06:51Bye.
06:56What was that?
06:57Oh, Bob Stanton.
07:00Bob Stanton again?
07:01Yeah.
07:02Yeah, he just wanted to change some of the wording.
07:05Okay, you know what it's like finalising these contracts.
07:08Couldn't it have waited until tomorrow?
07:10No, he wanted to process it first thing in the morning.
07:13Listen, let's not talk business on a Sunday night, hey?
07:15You're the one who brought it up in the office.
07:17How about I brought us both in a cure and we take it to bed with us?
07:20Yeah, all right.
07:21Are you doing more business in personal loans than I'd expected for a small branch?
07:35I don't always say yes.
07:39You can see for yourself there aren't many bad ones.
07:42Well, that's what got me thinking.
07:44I could get to like living in a place like this.
07:47Suits me.
07:48Still not knowing the individuals, I might take a harder line than you.
07:51Look, there's a bloke outside.
07:55Why don't I leave you alone with him and make your own assessment?
07:58Will my decision stand?
07:59I won't overrule you, though I'd better mention he's a neighbour and a good friend.
08:03Oh, that doesn't give me much option.
08:04Well, there'll be no hard feelings if you decide to knock him back.
08:07I once had to say no to his mother, but she's still talking to me and she's still Banksy.
08:12Okay, well, I'll do my best.
08:13All right, I'll bring him in.
08:14Why don't you jump into the driver's seat?
08:16There's his file.
08:18All right.
08:27Are you ready for me?
08:28Yeah.
08:31Penelope, this is Mr. Henry Ramsey.
08:33Henry, this is Miss Porter.
08:35She's with us for a while at training manager level, seeing how we do things in Erinsborough.
08:40Ah, welcome to the naval.
08:41I hope this has made you feel at home.
08:44Mr. Clark, I mean.
08:45Quiet, thank you.
08:47Please, sit down.
08:48After you.
08:49I'll leave you to it.
08:51Aren't you staying?
08:53No, Miss Porter will look after you.
08:58So, what can we do for you, Mr. Ramsey?
09:01Or is it a case of what I can do for you?
09:03I thought you wanted a loan.
09:04Yes, but the question is, which bank shall I give my business to?
09:07This one or your competitor down the street?
09:10Let's see now.
09:12You keep a personal and a business account.
09:14Correct.
09:15And both accounts are nearly in the red.
09:18Yes.
09:19Well, I need a bit of cash flow, you see.
09:21And for what purpose?
09:22A new car?
09:23A boat?
09:24A house?
09:25What a kiddo.
09:26I've just had a run of bad luck, you know.
09:27And I need to fix it up before my mum gets back from Brisbane.
09:29Bad luck?
09:30It all started because I want an electric guitar.
09:32Oh, so you're a musician?
09:33Well, I'm learning and I picked it up while I was inside.
09:36Inside?
09:38One rainy day.
09:39Anyway, I've got an acoustic guitar and some of the boys and me have done a fifties gig.
09:42And I'm sort of ready to expand myself, musically speaking.
09:47So you need the money to buy a guitar?
09:49Well, no.
09:51Well, yes.
09:53But I did work out a way to earn some extra cash.
09:55Now, what I came up with was Garfunkel.
09:59Garfunkel?
10:00He's got to be a winner.
10:01Because I'm there on the spot helping people beautify their homes.
10:03They listen to my ideas.
10:05So what do I tell them?
10:06I say, you need a gnome.
10:07Then I sell the money.
10:08And how many have you sold so far?
10:11None.
10:12But everyone needs one, don't they?
10:13I mean, have you got one?
10:14No.
10:15There you are then.
10:16Hello.
10:18Why exactly do you need a loan?
10:20Well, I made half a dozen as a test run, you see.
10:23But accidentally I poured some plaster of Paris down the sink and I blocked up the pipes.
10:28So you need the money for plumbing.
10:30You haven't heard the worst of it.
10:31I put Garfunkel and his mates out by the pool to dry.
10:34But on Saturday there was that thunderstorm.
10:36Yes.
10:37So I raced out and brought them in.
10:39They were hardly set.
10:40I put them on the floor to dry.
10:41On newspaper, of course.
10:42Well, you'd do the same thing, wouldn't you?
10:45Anyway, the problem was that they sort of stuck.
10:48When I came to move them I had to give them a yank to shift them and they left round holes
10:53all over the carpet.
10:54Round holes?
10:55Have you ever heard such mongrel luck?
10:57I've got to replace that carpet before Mum gets back or I am dead meat.
11:00So please, to stop my mother killing me, can I have a bank line?
11:10Hi.
11:11Got you the change you wanted.
11:12Oh, thanks Jane.
11:13I was about to come over and get it myself.
11:14Oh, Paul asked me to bring it.
11:15Thought he'd save the trouble of going back to the office to get it.
11:18Oh, did he?
11:19He knows how hard you're working.
11:21Or maybe he can want me around.
11:23Why do you say that?
11:25Jane, have you noticed anything strange in the way Paul's been behaving the last couple
11:29of days?
11:30Should I?
11:31I don't know.
11:32Forget it, I'm probably imagining things.
11:35Gail.
11:36Remember you told me Keith Franklin was in Perth?
11:41Well, Paul told me he was going to see him and then later he changed his story.
11:46Last night I overheard him on the phone.
11:49And?
11:50He was making a date with someone and it wasn't business.
11:53So who was it?
11:55I don't know, but I think it was a woman.
11:58Surely you don't think Paul's having an affair?
12:01Dale, that's impossible, you know it is.
12:04Paul wouldn't do anything like that, he loves you.
12:07Would you do something for me?
12:09Check his diary for this afternoon?
12:11Oh, sorry, but I'm not spying on my own boss.
12:13Anyway, it's not necessary, I'm sure it's all in your mind.
12:16You think I'm paranoid, huh?
12:18All I'm saying is there has to be an ordinary explanation.
12:20Nothing else makes sense.
12:22Yeah, you must be right.
12:25Right, well if you're all happy with that Mr Ramsey, just sign where I've marked.
12:29Happy's not the word, ecstatic's more like it.
12:32Now mad you won't have to find out about all the disasters.
12:34Oh, I'm just so grateful.
12:36I thought I'd have Buckley's, especially without, you know, having any collateral.
12:41I can be flexible about these things Mr Ramsey.
12:44You've asked me to trust you and I think I can.
12:47Besides, you seem to have a reasonable income from these, er, ventures.
12:52Well, maybe I should have hit you for a few more hundred.
12:55I mean, I still do want that electric...
12:57I quit while I was ahead, mate.
12:59Yep.
13:00Fair enough.
13:01I'll have your account credited with the funds this afternoon.
13:04Beautiful!
13:05I mean, er, thanks a million.
13:08Well, I guess I'd better get out and earn some money now so I can make those repayments, eh, Miss Porter?
13:13Thanks.
13:14See you later, Henry.
13:15Oh, go on, Buckle.
13:16See you, Buckle.
13:17Bye!
13:18See you, Buckle.
13:19See you.
13:20You could have warned me.
13:24Ah, yeah, um, that was Henry Ramsey.
13:27Not a bad baptism of fire.
13:29Why don't we take an early lunch, go to the coffee shop and celebrate?
13:32Yeah, I'd love to.
13:33Yeah?
13:34Excuse me, Mr Clark, there's a Mrs Chubb here to see you.
13:37Oh, um, send her in, Larry.
13:39Okay.
13:40Thanks, mate.
13:41Oh, I could go on ahead if you like.
13:43No, it's okay, Penny.
13:45Sorry if I could call you Penny?
13:47Yeah, I wish you would.
13:49Penny it is, then.
13:51All right.
13:52Okay, bye.
13:53See you.
13:54Williamsy.
13:56Good day, Mr Clark.
13:58G'day, Mrs Chubb.
14:00Ah, no problems with the house, I hope?
14:02Oh, just a few details.
14:04Of course, I shall be having that faulty window couch repaired as soon as possible after the breaking.
14:09It was a most unpleasant shock, discovering my niece and that boy behaving in that manner.
14:14Yeah, well, dancing's changed a bit from what it used to be.
14:17Dancing?
14:18Looked more like some sort of heathen mating ritual.
14:21I can't think what's happened to moral values these days, especially in the cities.
14:27If Bronwyn and Sharon were still in Narrabri, they wouldn't be living so loosely.
14:31Bronwyn is a sensible girl.
14:33I wouldn't be letting her look after Jamie if I didn't trust her.
14:36Now, let's get down to business matters, shall we?
14:38I've got a lunch appointment.
14:39Well, I'm with you there.
14:40So do I.
14:45Oh, hello again, Miss Porter.
14:46Oh, Mr. Robinson.
14:48First customer at the door of the bank this morning.
14:50Yeah, yeah, I'm usually at the head of the queue.
14:52Oh, by the way, the name's Paul.
14:53Can I sit down?
14:54Yeah, of course.
14:55Des Clark was coming, but he's been delayed.
14:58So tell me, how did your first morning go?
15:00Oh, fine.
15:01Except my first job was to interview a man who wanted a loan.
15:05Well, he was nutty as a fruitcake.
15:07Sort of landscape gardener, come wacky entrepreneur, come would-be rock star.
15:13Sounds like Henry Ramsey.
15:14That's him.
15:15Hmm, you should go to the water hole he's on the bath this afternoon.
15:18I don't think I can take it.
15:19I did something awful when he was telling me his hard luck story.
15:22What?
15:23I burst out laughing.
15:25I sat there trying not to crack up, and in the end I just could not stop myself.
15:29Yeah, well, he sometimes has that effect.
15:31No.
15:32Aunt Edie?
15:33Aunt Edie?
15:34Come on, she's out.
15:35Look, perhaps I better not.
15:36It will only be a few minutes.
15:37Anyway, I'm going to help you with Matt's subject to that.
15:38Now, let's see.
15:39Which ones are we getting wrong?
15:40What?
