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.
00:34Why?
00:35Well, Paul said the fire brigade, almost certain that that fire began on the rubbish bin in the kitchen.
00:41Well, you were the last one there today, so I wondered if you had any idea of how it might have happened.
00:45Oh, well...
00:47It was me.
00:48I beg your pardon?
00:49The fire. Well, I was smoking and I threw the butt in the rubbish bin. I thought I'd put it out properly, but I can't have. It was me.
00:57I see.
01:03At least Des shouldn't have any trouble collecting the insurance. There didn't appear to be any suspicious circumstances.
01:08Yeah, and Des wasn't hurt, so all in all, it could have been a lot worse.
01:14I almost hate to go away. I never know what's going to happen next. Poisonings, fires...
01:17Nothing to joke about, Todd. Someone could have been seriously hurt today.
01:20Well, fortunately, Harold had the presence of mind to act quickly.
01:25Ah, here he is.
01:26Harold, the hero.
01:27For a moment.
01:28Well, they only did what was necessary.
01:31Come on, young man, speak up.
01:34What's the problem?
01:36A lot more graffiti.
01:37I'm afraid it's a lot more destructive than that, Helen.
01:41Go on, tell them.
01:42What?
01:45Right, Nick was smoking in the coffee shop, and his discarded cigarette caused the fire.
01:52Nick.
01:53You know, it's amazing the mess two reasonably tidy people can create.
02:00Oh.
02:01Okay, I can take a hint.
02:02Mm-mm.
02:03Oh, leave.
02:04I'll still be here in the morning.
02:06Doesn't sound like my super-wife.
02:07Are you sure you're well enough to go to the clinic in the morning?
02:09Mm-mm.
02:10Not a trace of the flu left.
02:11Mm-mm.
02:12I've just got lazy vegetating around here all weekend.
02:14Yeah, so we can always postpone it if you're not feeling up to it, eh?
02:17No way.
02:18We missed out on that last time because of that sly Morris, and it's not going to happen again.
02:22Gail, there is no rush.
02:24No, don't.
02:25I'll get it.
02:28Oh, g'day, Jane.
02:29Hi, Paul. I'm sorry to disturb you.
02:30Yeah, no worries. Do you want to come in?
02:31No, I can't stay.
02:32I know it's a terrible imposition, but do you think I could have tomorrow off?
02:35I wouldn't normally ask, but it's a really special shoot.
02:38Oh, Jane, I thought all of this was supposed to be over on the weekend.
02:41Well, you see, Robert couldn't get the location until tomorrow,
02:43and Sylvie, the other model, won't be available till later in the week, so please.
02:47Do I really have a choice?
02:49Well, you did organise the contract.
02:50Yeah, it's not one of my smarter moves.
02:52All right, all right, I'll see if Gran can fill in.
02:54Oh, Paul, you're brilliant. Thanks. I really appreciate this.
02:56Yeah, but this is the last time. I need you at the office, Jane.
02:58Don't worry, I'll make sure it finishes tomorrow.
03:00Yeah.
03:01Good night, Gail.
03:02Night!
03:03We're going to lose here, you know. Glam is starting to win out.
03:08Oh, I wouldn't worry too much.
03:10Let's call it a night, eh?
03:12Great.
03:13We've got to be at the clinic at some ungodly hour in the morning,
03:16and I want to be fighting fit.
03:17Yes, well, just don't you get too wound up about it, am I?
03:20No, I'm not wound up. I'm just determined.
03:23Yes, all right, so am I.
03:25But I remember what you went through the last time it didn't work out, okay?
03:28Well, this time it will.
03:30Yes.
03:31There's no guarantees, though, is there? You know that.
03:33Well, we might strike it lucky this time, and if we don't, I'm not going to fall apart.
03:37As long as you remember that you're more important to me than any baby.
03:41And that's the way it better stay.
03:45What do you think of these?
03:47Do you want to try one?
03:48No, thanks.
03:49Tomorrow's fashion shoot is all Victorian romance.
03:52They should be just right. What do you think?
03:53Whatever you reckon.
03:55Sharon, if I've done or said something wrong...
03:57It's not you.
03:58Just a bit upset about the fire, you know.
04:00Oh, of course I didn't think. That's your job gone, isn't it?
04:02Look at it this way, at least it's only pocket money.
04:05That's easy for you to say.
04:07No, what I mean is that at least you don't have to support yourself like Mr Bishop.
04:11Yeah, well, do you want a coffee?
04:13Yes, thanks. I'll get that.
04:19Hi, Jane. Sorry to turn up so late. You're not going to bed, are you?
04:23No, I was just doing a few things for tomorrow.
04:25Oh, actually, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.
04:27I thought the photo session might make a good piece for the paper.
04:31Well, Scott, no-one would want to read about that.
04:33Yeah, sure they would.
04:35Modelling's high profile.
04:36You're sort of the local girl who's made good.
04:40Sort of the, I don't know, the duckling to swan story, maybe?
04:43If that's the sort of thing you're after, you should talk to Sylvie.
04:46Who's she?
04:47She's the other girl I've been modelling with.
04:48She's got a really unbelievable history.
04:50Fantastic. We'll fill me in.
04:52Better than that, why don't you come down to the shoot tomorrow yourself?
04:55Robert won't mind. He loves any sort of publicity.
04:57Great, yeah, no problems. What time do you think I should get there?
05:00About 11.
05:01Mm-hmm. Thanks, Sharon.
05:02Um, I'll be there then, okay?
05:05You're next, Sharon. Sorry.
05:06What for?
05:07Well, I'm doing a small piece on the fire, and I just wanted an eyewitness account.
05:12I wasn't there.
05:13Well, you were the last person to leave the shop, right?
05:16Could you just tell me exactly what happened before you left?
05:20Well, I was closing up. I turned everything off.
05:23Right.
05:24Look, nobody's blaming you, okay?
05:28Hmm?
05:29Um, right. Do you know...
05:31Well, do you know if the wiring's been checked lately?
05:33No.
05:34Did you smell any smoke?
05:35No!
05:36Well, something weird must have happened.
05:38Fires just don't start by themselves.
05:40I don't know anything, all right?
05:45What's up with her?
05:47I don't know.
05:48The fire must have really freaked her out.
05:50Yeah.
05:51Either that or it's something else.
05:59You'd better not let Helen see that.
06:01You're in enough trouble already.
06:02Yeah, well, she hasn't said much.
06:04They don't always lecture.
06:06Sometimes they reckon thinking about what you've done is enough punishment.
06:09Yeah, well, I've got that bit right.
06:11It's really dumb, you know.
06:13What do you want to smoke for anyway?
06:14I wasn't!
06:15Yeah, I'm not going to do it again, all right?
06:17That's what I said about video games.
06:19But some of them just get to you.
06:21Like Battle Patrol.
06:22You're flying over enemy territory.
06:24And you've got to bomb their ammo dumps.
06:26But they've got defenders.
06:27Real fast ones.
06:28And you've got to shoot them down.
06:30Or else you can't bomb them.
06:31It's real hot.
06:33I'm dead.
06:34And don't forget to say goodnight to Katie.
06:36Yeah, can I get a glass of milk first?
06:37Go ahead, but put the carton back in the fridge this time.
06:40Okay.
06:47Not a pretty sight, is it?
06:54I'd prefer it if you just yelled at me. You're angry, right?
06:57No.
06:58I'd say disappointed was more the word.
07:01Well, it's not as if I did it on purpose.
07:03Look, I'll admit the fire was probably an accident.
07:05Probably?
07:06What do you think I am?
07:07I honestly don't know.
07:09Fighting, smoking.
07:11I expected better of you.
07:13It's not as if you're a stupid boy. You're not.
07:16This smoking, for example, you know it's bad for you.
07:19Yes, I know.
07:20Even Sharon wouldn't have been silly enough to try it.
07:22Hey, Sharon's no little angel, you know.
07:24Perhaps not, but she's not my responsibility. You are.
07:26Nobody asked you to take on the responsibility.
07:28I know nobody did.
07:29I did it because I thought you were my friend.
07:32So far, all I've seen for my investment is more trouble.
07:37What can I say?
07:38You're right.
07:39I've let you down, haven't I?
07:41I've let everyone down.
07:42No, Nick, it's far worse than that.
07:44Let yourself down.
07:52She made you feel pretty bad, huh?
07:54Yeah, bad enough.
07:56She'll get over it.
07:58You reckon?
08:00Nice big glass of orange juice for vitamins.
08:11Porridge with cream and brown sugar.
08:14That should help the sore throat.
08:16Can I be sick next?
08:17Well, that sort of treatment, Katie's going to stay in bed for weeks.
08:19That's what you think.
08:20She says she's bored already.
08:21Ah.
08:22Well, I may well have the solution to that.
08:24No.
08:25What do you say to one of Bronwyn's kittens?
08:27Well, Beverly wasn't too keen.
08:29Ah, but that was just tension talking.
08:31Now her attitude seems to be, what's one more mouth to feed?
08:34Speaking of which, can I take her a tray?
08:35I have time before I go to the office.
08:37No, I wouldn't bother.
08:38I took her a cup of tea before and she just groan and went back to sleep.
08:41I'll take that for you.
08:42No, thanks.
08:43It's all right.
08:44I can manage your breakfast on the table.
08:49She's still angry.
08:51Well, what do you expect, Nick?
08:53Helen has gone to a lot of trouble for you.
08:55More, I'd say, than your behaviour merits.
08:57I said I'm sorry.
08:58Well, saying sorry isn't good enough.
08:59You've got to prove it.
09:00Yeah, well, how am I supposed to do that?
09:02Well, you could start by smartening up your attitude to start with.
09:05Do a bit more work around the place.
09:07Can't expect a free ride forever.
09:09Well, just that didn't lecture, Todd.
09:11Yeah, hang on.
09:12No, you hold on.
09:13Finish your toast.
09:25Oh, Nick, hi.
09:27Did you cop heaps?
09:28What do you reckon?
09:30Nick, you saved my life.
09:32They would have sent me back to you.
09:33Oh, look.
09:34I figured I owed you one.
09:35But we're even now.
09:36You got it?
09:38Yeah.
09:39Okay.
09:40Why is he so mad at me?
09:42I didn't ask him.
09:43Oh, hello, Mrs. Daniels.
09:45It's not my fault he's in trouble.
09:47Well, how would you feel?
09:49He's not even family and everyone's yelling at him.
09:51Uncle Jim just stuck the boot in too.
09:53Mrs. Daniels is cool, isn't she?
09:55It's different.
09:56She's laid this big guilt trip on him about how they were friends
09:59and he's let her down.
10:00Nick's copying it from everywhere.
10:02He's probably wishing he was never here in the first place.
10:05Hey.
10:06Hey.
10:14Sylvie, lift the fan.
10:15You're talking about your latest bow.
10:17Come on, make me believe it.
10:20Good.
10:21Good.
10:22Now, Jane, look to the gate.
10:28Gentlemen are arriving.
10:39Great.
10:40Break for lunch.
10:41Hi, Scott.
10:42Hi.
10:43Thanks.
10:44She works better with an audience.
10:45That was fantastic.
10:46It was like watching a silent movie.
10:47Yeah, Robert likes to create an atmosphere.
10:48Um, Scott, this is Sylvie Latham, the girl I told you about.
10:49Nice to meet you.
10:50Hi.
10:51Jane said you were coming out.
10:52You're a reporter, aren't you?
10:53Yeah, yeah, just for the local paper.
10:54I'm doing a piece on Jane's modelling, but I think she's got a little bit shy on me,
10:55actually.
10:56She'll get over that when she's been in the business for a while.
10:57But if I can help.
10:58Yeah, that'd be fantastic, actually.
10:59She said you've got an interesting background.
11:00I don't know about that.
11:01Look, I'm dying to get out of this gear.
11:02Why don't we talk over lunch?
11:03Well, you've got me.
11:04I missed out on breakfast.
11:05Sure.
11:06Let's, uh...
11:07Let's, uh...
11:08Let's go then.
11:09Oops.
11:10If the gentleman will escort us.
11:11Ladies, it would be my pleasure.
11:13Mmm.
11:14Oh, what a wot a wot a wot a wot a wot.
11:16Well, I don't know.
11:17Yes, I'll be getting out of this.
11:18Well, I'm not a wot a wot.
11:19She'll get over that when she's been in the business for a while.
11:21But if I can help.
11:22Yeah, that'd be fantastic, actually.
11:23She said you've got an interesting background.
11:24I don't know about that.
11:25Look, I'm dying to get out of this gear.
11:27Why don't we talk over lunch?
11:28Well, you've got me.
11:29I'll miss out on breakfast.
11:30Sure.
11:31Let's, uh, let's go then.
11:32Whoops.
11:33If the gentlemen will escort us.
11:35Oh, what a waste.
11:42I didn't think it'd be this bad.
11:45Ruined.
11:46Utterly ruined.
11:49I've heard you'll be able to work for a while.
11:51Yeah, well,
11:53the main thing is Des is going to be okay.
11:56Oh, and I think of the senseless waste.
11:58It wasn't deliberate.
11:59Yeah, well, in my opinion, it was just as good as
12:01reckless stupidity. That's what it was.
12:05Can I give you a hand?
12:07There's not much to point at the moment.
12:08I'm just making out a report for Des.
12:12Not good news,
12:13but it was a very kind thought.
12:16Well, push off, then.
12:19Just look at this, will you?
12:21Just look.
12:22Give a person a break and...
12:25What thanks do you get?
12:28And I know this young Nick hasn't turned up
12:30with any offers of help, and of course, that sort never does.
12:32The fire wasn't really his fault.
12:33Ignorance and cowardice are no excuse, Sharon.
12:37But you shouldn't be blaming Nick.
12:38You see, I...
12:38Yes?
12:41Doesn't matter.
12:43Displaced loyalty, that's what's happening here, Sharon.
12:47Now, that young punk
12:50had us all fooled.
12:52Nick's all right.
12:54Oh, really?
12:54It's been one disaster after another
12:57since he set foot in Ramsey Street.
12:59Now, I don't know what Helen Daniels
13:00must have been thinking of, but...
13:02Brody, I'm very sure that she must have had time
13:05to re-evaluate her opinion since.
13:07But Nick's not...
13:08Sharon, look, I know you youngsters stick together,
13:10but that...
13:10That boy has gone too far.
13:16And if Helen doesn't take action,
13:18well, then I most certainly will.
13:20No, you can't.
13:22The fire wasn't Nick's fault.
13:23He wasn't smoking in the kitchen.
13:26It was me.
13:27Here, dry your tears.
13:38Thanks.
13:42Don't you think it's about time you told me
13:44what really happened?
13:48Well, these girls from school came in.
13:51You know Pam and Vanessa?
13:53Mm-hm.
13:54Them and their friends,
13:55they've been giving me a really hard time at school.
13:58They won't let me sit with them
13:59and they don't talk to me
14:00or they say really scummy things.
14:03So?
14:05Well, they all smoke.
14:08They reckon it makes them cool
14:09and they think I'm really square
14:11because I don't.
14:14So you decided to prove them wrong.
14:17They said I could be in the group.
14:20So I tried it,
14:21but it tasted awful.
14:23It made me cough.
14:24They just made fun of me.
14:26They took off just before I heard you coming in.
14:29I knew you'd go crook at me,
14:30so I had to get rid of it.
14:33I thought it was out.
14:37Yes, well, evidently it wasn't.
14:38It was an accident.
14:39That does not excuse the fact
14:41that you let Nick take the blame.
14:43I was going to tell you.
14:46Except Nick knew how frightened I was
14:48at being sent back to Narrabri.
14:50Once he'd said it,
14:51it was easier to let you think that he'd...
14:54What made you change your mind?
14:58You were going to keep hassling him
15:00and Mrs. Daniels doesn't like him anymore
15:03and it's all my fault.
15:04I didn't mean that to happen.
15:06Come on, come on, come on.
15:09Des could have died
15:10and Nick could go to jail
15:12and Jamie'd be an orphan
15:14and then where would he go?
15:15None of that is going to happen.
15:18Now, you did make a very silly mistake
15:20and you've got to rectify it.
15:25You're going to have to explain to Des.
15:28And I think you owe Nick an apology
15:30for letting him take the blame, don't you?
15:33Yeah.
15:35Very well.
15:38I just hope this has taught you a lesson.
15:41Just because other people do silly things,
15:43it does not mean that you have to follow.
15:48To thine own self be true.
15:59Oh, hello, Jim.
16:01Put the kettle on for me, will you please?
16:02I've had a long and weary day.
16:05Well, working you too hard.
16:06Let's just say I'm not as resilient as I used to be.
16:10See Nick on the way in?
16:12Yes, he's in the garage with Sharon.
16:14Nick's painting and Sharon is chatting away 19 to the dozen.
16:18No, you'd think Nick didn't have a worry in the world.
16:20Well, he's got one less worry today than he had yesterday.
16:23Sharon has admitted to starting the fire in the coffee shop.
16:27He didn't do it?
16:28Nope.
16:29Then what possessed him to say that he did?
16:31He probably thought she'd be shipped off back to Narrabri.
16:35Nick didn't want that to happen.
16:37Then he was prepared to risk his own security to prevent it.
16:40Well, he may have his faults, but lacking loyalty certainly isn't one of them.
16:46You always said he wasn't a bad kid.
16:50And I was one of the first to doubt him.
16:52Um, yeah.
16:53So, what are your plans for the future?
16:55Obviously, modelling can't last forever, right?
16:58I don't know.
16:58I'll take it as it comes, I suppose.
17:00Is this going in the article?
17:02Oh, no, no, no.
17:03I'm just looking for an angle.
17:04I mean, with Jane, it was local girl makes good, but, um...
17:09I don't know.
17:10You're a little difficult to figure.
17:13It's designed to keep you interested.
17:15Oh, I'm interested, all right.
17:16So far, all you've given me is a standard buyer.
17:19Jane said there's a lot more to know.
17:21Oh, there is, I promise.
17:23Hi, guys.
17:23Ready to go?
17:24Yeah.
17:24Yeah, your friend's still holding out on me.
17:26She still hasn't told me about her interesting background.
17:29We were working all afternoon.
17:32What about a drink on the way back?
17:33You can interview to your heart's content.
17:35I've got a better idea.
17:36Why don't you both come over for dinner?
17:37You think so?
17:38Nan won't be there.
17:39Jaren might, but she'd only have homework.
17:42You haven't got anything planned of you?
17:43I have now.
17:44What about you, Scott?
17:45Hmm, OK.
17:46As long as you tell me everything.
17:47Warts and all.
17:50Warts, beauty sports of the lot.
17:52OK, one, I met you at the car.
17:54I just want to talk to Rob with background info for the article.
17:56OK.
17:56OK?
18:00Just nice moves.
18:01Just cute, Bonnie.
18:03And married to my best friend.
18:05Yeah, but she's up in Brisbane or somewhere, isn't she?
18:09Poor guy must get really lonely.
18:14Hey, this is really wild!
18:15Buzz off, will you?
18:16It's not done yet.
18:17How can you tell?
18:18Let's go home so I can get it done.
18:20You're not still mad at me, are you?
18:22No.
18:23These people are talking to you again.
18:25They won't be forgiving me in a hurry.
18:27I thought you two might be hungry.
18:29Uh, no.
18:30Thanks, I'd better be getting home.
18:31Will I see you tonight?
18:32Yeah, if I'm allowed out.
18:36She didn't have to rush off like that.
18:40Nick, I know now what happened.
18:43That's probably why she bolted.
18:44I'm not angry with either of you.
18:47I think Sharon was foolish about the cigarette and you were silly to cover for her, but I understand why you did it.
18:54And I'm sorry for being so harsh with you.
18:56Oh, that's OK.
18:58I know I shouldn't have lied for Shaz, but I know how she feels about living around here.
19:03Oh, I wouldn't want to go either.
19:03No chance of that.
19:06And in future, if you have any more problems, will you come to me with them?
19:11Is that a deal?
19:12It's a deal.
19:16Now, how about a biscuit?
19:18Oh, I'd better wash up first, otherwise I'll taste like linseed oil.
19:21Nick, what was the first thing you learnt in my class?
19:24Uh, a good artist always looks after their gear.
19:28Well then.
19:30Oh.
19:31Whoops.
19:36Oh, um, could you explain to me again about the depth of field?
19:39That's just a fancy term for perspective, how near or far things are from your point of view.
19:45Hey, Grant.
19:47You finished my painting yet?
19:49I've only been home for half an hour.
19:51Oh, all right.
19:52No need to get snappy.
19:54Oh, Paul, where are you going?
19:59No, Grant's been painting in the garage.
20:01Ten to one, it's my portrait.
20:03I'm just going to take a peek.
20:04Shh.
20:21What?
20:24Oh, cranny, how could you?
20:25Oh, cranny, how could you?
20:25Ooh, really?
20:31Oh.
20:33Neighbors.
20:34Neighbors.
20:36Everybody needs good neighbors.
20:40Just a friendly wave each morning helps to make a better day.
20:46Neighbors need to get to know each other
20:55Next door is only a footstep away
21:03Neighbors, everybody needs good neighbors
21:12With a little understanding
21:16You can find the perfect plan
21:22Neighbors should be there for one another
21:28That's when good neighbors become good friends
21:46Thank you
21:52Thank you
21:54Thank you
