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.
00:35Henry, hi. Hi. Yeah, um, I wondered how the patient was caving. Come in. I thought you were a prospective tenant. The phone's been ringing hot.
00:44Oh, I came to see if you needed a hand with anything. Oh, no, I'm right. We'll lose around.
00:50Which hand were you planning on giving? The one behind your back there?
00:53Oh, yeah. Yeah, um, well, I brought you a present, actually, Bronnie. A present?
00:59Now, brace yourself. What would you like more than anything else in the world right now?
01:03To know what you've got hidden behind your back.
01:06Ta-da! The latest amazing Kanga Man!
01:09Henry, why didn't you tell me they had a new one out?
01:12The Kanga Man always appears without warning.
01:14And he's never in any quest for...
01:16Truth! Food and...
01:18World peace!
01:19Forever!
01:20You two, you're a pair of fruitcakes, you and your Kanga Man.
01:23Not to forget his faithful young friend and partner, Joey Marsden.
01:27And the incredible...
01:29Justin Pounce.
01:30Does this mean I've lost my helper in revising, then?
01:33Yeah, I...
01:34Bronwyn was supposed to help me study.
01:36Oh, am I interrupting, uh...
01:38Well, I've got exams over the next couple of days, you know, that's a...
01:40You know, unless you want to take time out to read your comic.
01:43I did tell Mark I'd help him today.
01:45Oh, well, go ahead, uh...
01:47I'll see if I can bludge a cup of tea from Des, eh?
01:49Oh, yeah, anything to get away from Mike's history exam.
01:53Come to think of it, aren't you over doing it, mate?
01:55What do you mean?
01:56Well, I mean, you've been studying so much, you're gonna clog your brain.
01:59Why don't you take half a day off, go for a spin on your bike?
02:01Now, that's good thinking.
02:03I'll tell you why, because all work and no play makes for very low grades.
02:07You know, you could be right.
02:09I might just take a leisurely burn out of town and check out some countryside.
02:13How about it, Bronwyn?
02:15Me?
02:16Yeah, well, you...
02:17Well, you were saying that you were missing the country
02:19and you deserve it after all the help you've given me.
02:21Well, I have to help out with Jamie.
02:24Oh, Henry can do that.
02:25It's not working today, eh?
02:27No.
02:29Des?
02:30Well, I've got some people to show round number 30,
02:32if Henry could babysit.
02:35Kanga man's always on duty.
02:38Sorry, I'll have to read this later.
02:40Oh, when I tell you, here we go.
02:42I'll help you.
02:48Couple of hours in the bush, eh?
02:50Just what I need.
03:08What the hell did she come here for?
03:22Oh, darling.
03:24People don't just disappear.
03:27Aunt Beverly's just gone somewhere to be alone.
03:31Then why did the policemen come?
03:33To tell us that they'd found her car.
03:36I mean, she must have left it and gone for a walk.
03:39Grant, she was out all night.
03:41She'll be all right, Katie.
03:42Of course she will, and she'll be home soon, I'm sure.
03:45I hope it's a lovely day outside.
03:47Why don't you go and blend a cubby house here?
03:48That's a good idea.
03:49Why don't you feed the guinea pigs?
03:51There's some lettuce in the fridge.
03:54Will you come with me?
03:55I'll be out in a minute.
03:57You make a start, eh?
03:58Okay.
04:02Oh, thank you, Gail.
04:03I don't want to burden you.
04:04You've enough on your mind.
04:06I think the IVF can take a back seat today.
04:08But even so, shouldn't you be at the hotel?
04:10No, Jane will ring me if anything comes up.
04:12I might try to stay here.
04:14I just can't help thinking that I could have prevented all this.
04:18You can't blame yourself.
04:20I should have kept her there and phoned Jim or...
04:23But you had no way of knowing that she'd take off like that.
04:26I mean, she's never done anything like this before.
04:29I could see what it meant to her thinking that Jim didn't want the baby.
04:35Yes, well, Jim will put her straight when she comes home.
04:43There's no sign of it at all. I don't think she's been here.
04:46Yeah, well, there was some steps going down onto the beach.
04:48You might have taken that.
04:49Well, let's take a look.
04:50Yeah, we can find the nearest phone and call home.
04:52There might be some news by now.
04:53No, let's look at the beach first.
04:55All right.
04:57Hey, look! She's there!
05:10Darling, I'm so worried.
05:12How did you find me here?
05:13Well, the police found your car.
05:14Police?
05:15It doesn't matter.
05:16It doesn't matter.
05:17As long as you're all right.
05:18I had some thinking to do.
05:20I'm just so relieved you're safe.
05:22Hi, favourite niece.
05:23Why aren't you at school?
05:24Grant said I could stay home because you disappeared.
05:25I didn't disappear.
05:26Where were you then?
05:27I went for a walk.
05:28All night?
05:29Yes.
05:30Why?
05:31To be alone, darling.
05:32Sometimes people need to do that.
05:33Why don't we leave Aunt Beverly and Uncle Jim to have a bit of a talk?
05:34Yeah.
05:35Have a brunch over at our place.
05:36Good idea.
05:37Come on, troops.
05:38Quick march.
05:39They're a tactful bunch.
05:40I didn't mean to alarm everyone.
05:41You certainly gave me a scare.
05:42That was all so pointless.
05:43I overheard what you said to Helen.
05:45You said to Helen.
05:46What do you think?
05:47I'm so annoyed.
05:48Why don't you see that?
05:49Who are you there then?
05:50I went for a walk.
05:51All night?
05:52Yes.
05:53Why?
05:54To be alone, darling.
05:55Sometimes people need to do that.
05:57Why don't we leave Aunt Beverly and Uncle Jim to have a bit of a talk?
05:59Yeah.
06:00Have a brunch over at our place.
06:01Good idea.
06:02Come on, troops.
06:03Quick march.
06:04They're a tactful bunch.
06:05I didn't mean to alarm everyone.
06:06I overheard what you said to Helen.
06:08You don't want the baby.
06:10You call that pointless?
06:12But I do want the baby.
06:13You don't know how much.
06:14Oh, Jim, don't pretend.
06:15It just makes it worse.
06:16You never wanted it.
06:17I want the baby as much as you do.
06:20It's ours.
06:21It makes it very special.
06:23I heard what you said to Helen.
06:25You didn't.
06:26If you'd have stayed around, you'd have heard it properly.
06:29I told Helen the news took me by surprise,
06:32but that didn't mean I didn't want it.
06:34You've already raised a family.
06:37I want to start again with you.
06:40You're not just saying that.
06:41It's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
06:44To us, the most wonderful thing that could happen.
06:47And we're going to have the most beautiful baby there ever was.
06:58Paul, can I play with this?
06:59Yeah, sure.
07:01I'm so glad she's back.
07:03You're not the only one.
07:04I just hope Dad's making a good job of convincing her how he really feels.
07:07I'm sure he will.
07:08And hopefully life will be back to normal.
07:13Gran, you know, they're not the only ones with problems.
07:16You see, you could help somebody else in the family achieve happiness.
07:19How about painting over my portrait?
07:22Certainly not.
07:23I happen to like it, even if you don't.
07:26If you could just swallow your pride and look at it as a work of art,
07:29then you could get to like it yourself.
07:31Sorry, Gran, no way.
07:33Paul, it's a good portrait.
07:35Yeah, so was the Mona Lisa.
07:37But for all we know, she may have hated it.
07:40Now, doesn't the subject have any rights?
07:42Well, this is the first time my paintings have been compared with Leonardo da Vinci.
07:46Gran, if I don't want the picture displayed or even preserved, surely that's up to me.
07:50Helen did it as a present for me, if you remember, and I happen to want it.
07:55Yeah, well, I don't.
07:57Look, Gran, I've always supported your art in the past, you know that.
08:00But I thought a portrait was supposed to be a nice rounded picture of the subject.
08:05Not a glimpse at just one aspect.
08:07Oh, suddenly we're an art critic.
08:10Gail, I may not know art, but I do know what I don't like.
08:14Well, I think you're being plain unreasonable.
08:17I think I might burn some energy off at work.
08:20Yeah, why don't you go in and brighten up a bit.
08:23I'll just stay and make sure Jim and Beverly are okay.
08:25All right, see you.
08:28Gran?
08:29Hmm?
08:30Do you have another look at the painting?
08:32Hmm, I was about to say the same thing.
08:34It looked perfectly good to me.
08:36I can't imagine what there is about it he doesn't like.
08:38Yes, well, let's go and have a look at it together.
08:42It's down in the garage now, so we won't disturb Jim and Beverly.
08:46Ready?
08:47Yes, and straight after that, it's off to school.
08:49Mm-hm.
08:50Oh, I wonder what he meant.
08:53A rounded picture.
08:56Look, why don't you come and try on this spare jacket I've got?
08:58It'll be too big.
08:59Yeah, it'll keep you warm, though.
09:00Come on.
09:02Did you hear about the other bloke you rang?
09:04He breeds homing pigeons.
09:07Oh.
09:07He wanted to know if he could turn one of the bedrooms into a navery.
09:10Can you imagine what Mrs Chubb would have said about that?
09:12Brrrr.
09:12Oh, this must be Mr Pike.
09:16He sounded impossible.
09:23Mr Clark?
09:24Yeah?
09:24I've come about number 30.
09:26Oh.
09:26Uh, did you tell me that you had dogs?
09:28Aren't they cute little babies?
09:30I was going to leave them behind, but, uh, they cried so much I had to bring them with me.
09:35Right, I'll show you around.
09:37Just give me a few minutes.
09:38Come on, come on, girls and boys.
09:39Come on, me a treasure.
09:40Come along.
09:40Come on.
09:43Five.
09:43Look, can you believe it?
09:45Just hold the fort, mate.
09:46Tell Mike that the spare crash helmet is behind the couch.
09:48See you later.
09:49Right.
09:49Five.
09:52Spare crash.
09:57Ah, there's the other helmet.
09:59Yep.
09:59All right.
10:00Time.
10:01Did Des go out?
10:02Oh, somebody to see you next door.
10:05I think Jamie's waking up.
10:06Can you manage?
10:07Oh, of course I can.
10:08You go off and enjoy yourself.
10:10Won't be long.
10:11Okay.
10:11See you.
10:12Bye.
10:18Ah, let's see what all this fuss is about.
10:25It's good, Grant.
10:26Yeah, I agree.
10:27It's an attractive painting and it's a good likeness.
10:30Then what did Paul see that offended him so much?
10:32He said I should paint a rounded portrait of the person, not just a quick glimpse.
10:37Well, I think that's what I've done.
10:38Well, I don't know what he thinks he should have put in there that's not there.
10:41Well, what should be there that isn't.
10:42Yeah.
10:43Well, I like it.
10:45I wish he did.
10:47It's got to be something to do with the way he thinks that you've portrayed him.
10:51Grant, did you do this one too?
10:53No, darling, that's one of Nick's.
10:57Maybe Paul would like this one instead.
11:00Why?
11:00What is it?
11:01Isn't that funny?
11:04Oh, no.
11:05It's pretty outrageous.
11:07Oh.
11:08Oh, no.
11:10You're thinking what I'm thinking?
11:12He must have seen this one and thought that it was yours.
11:16Well, that explains it.
11:21No wonder he was upset.
11:24I can't believe he thought that it was yours.
11:26I didn't want to tell him.
11:28When are you going to tell him?
11:30I have a good mind not to.
11:32Oh, we have to put him out of his misery.
11:35Don't we?
11:35How would you feel if we left it for a few days?
11:41Now, the church fate is next Saturday.
11:45As you know, I was going to exhibit Paul's portrait,
11:48so if we can get him there, he'll realise it's a mistake.
11:51That is, if you think his ego can take it.
11:53Oh, I think it can.
11:55Wanna be angry?
11:57No, no, Katie, you won't be angry.
11:59You'll just feel rather silly.
12:00But then if I know Paul, I think you'll probably see the funny side of it.
12:03Now, this won't be any good,
12:07and it won't work very well if a little bird tells.
12:10Can we trust you to keep it a secret?
12:13Gwen, my lips are zipped.
12:17Good.
12:20Some people are really weird.
12:22Yeah, that guy actually...
12:23He's asleep with that boy of yours.
12:26I thought I heard him stirring, but he's up in dreamland.
12:27So was Mr Pike.
12:29Oh, no good.
12:30No way.
12:32He had these five dogs.
12:33He treated them like babies.
12:36I thought he actually had a tissue to wipe their noses.
12:39Oh.
12:40All he could speak about was where to put their little beds,
12:43where to hang their little leads.
12:45I'll get that.
12:45No.
12:46Sounds harmless enough, Dears.
12:47Oh, no, they weren't.
12:48I didn't trust those dogs one bit.
12:50You'll find a tenant soon enough.
12:52No, I'm sure I will.
12:55Something on the matter, mate?
12:57No.
12:58Yeah.
13:00I thought Mike and Bronnie had split up.
13:02Looks as if they're back together.
13:04No.
13:05Just friends.
13:06That's what I'm supposed to be, just a friend.
13:09I keep trying to kid myself that's all I want, but it's not true.
13:11I really like her, Dears.
13:15I mean, I really like her.
13:19Well, have you tried talking to her?
13:23She's not interested in me.
13:27Sometimes people don't say what they feel.
13:30Yeah.
13:31I just end up making a fool of myself.
13:33But you'll go bananas not telling her what's on your mind.
13:38It's finding the words.
13:41If this was a movie, I'd take her by the hand.
13:43We'd walk off into the sunset.
13:46Mate, you have got it bad.
13:47Do yourself a favour.
13:48Talk to her.
13:50All right, I will.
13:51Yeah.
13:53Mate, no.
13:54No, I will.
13:55As soon as I get her out of Mike's clutches, I'll tell her exactly how I feel.
14:07Helen was very thoughtful about what she said, so we went to have another look at the portrait.
14:12And, uh, well, I realised I was wrong, in my opinion.
14:17Ah, about time.
14:19Now you see why I felt insulted by it, eh?
14:22Oh, no.
14:23No, no, you should be proud.
14:25What are you on about?
14:26Well, I said I thought it was good.
14:27Now I've had a proper look.
14:28I think it's brilliant.
14:29Oh.
14:30Paul is one of the best things she's ever done.
14:32It's as if all her experiences come together into one masterpiece.
14:35Oh, a masterpiece?
14:37Yeah.
14:38It's certainly too good to be hidden away.
14:39It needs to be exhibited.
14:41Gail, there is no way I'm going to let you make that public.
14:45Oh, you're a bit late.
14:46Helen's going to display it at the church fete, and I'm right behind her.
14:49I believe this, Gail.
14:51I want that you do it.
14:52Well, it's my birthday present.
14:54And after all the trouble you went to, I reckon I can do what I want with it.
14:58Do something.
14:59It's nice for you, isn't it?
15:19Yeah.
15:20It's nice to have someone to share it with.
15:21So how are you coping living in the house?
15:27Oh, it's been really good.
15:30Like I said, I felt a bit awkward about things when we first put up, but we're friends now.
15:35Yeah, of course we are.
15:37You know, it's been fantastic these last couple of days.
15:40Just like when we first got together, hey?
15:43Let's not take any more chances.
15:44Yeah, I know what you mean.
15:48Like the first time we didn't really know each other too well, hey?
15:51My fault, I think I rush things too much.
15:53I meant I like the way things are now.
15:55Yeah, me too.
15:57Just spending time together.
15:58That's all I want.
15:59Don't say any more.
16:02Look, Bronnie, we messed things up.
16:06Well, I messed things up last time, but...
16:08Right.
16:10There isn't going to be any next time.
16:13I know that's what you're about to suggest.
16:16We try again.
16:18The answer's no.
16:20I've made a decision not to get tied down.
16:21I'm going to stick to it.
16:24Oh, good to see you can be so flexible.
16:26Don't take it personally.
16:28The same applies to any guy around.
16:31So you want to be a solo act, hey?
16:33You can't go on like that for the rest of your life.
16:35Could if I wanted to.
16:38I'm not saying it's forever.
16:39I just don't want to be committed again.
16:41You're not making any sense.
16:43What if some guy comes along that you really like?
16:45Do you miss out because you've made some stupid promise to yourself
16:48that you're not going to get involved?
16:49I don't know.
16:50Well, you're not going to find that special someone
16:52unless you look for him.
16:53I'm happy just to wait.
16:56Yeah, well, good luck.
17:00Because the only thing I know about waiting
17:01is that it gets pretty damn lonely sometimes.
17:08Why don't you grab yourself a beer?
17:18Oh, thanks, mate.
17:20Maybe later.
17:21As if I don't make a goose of myself.
17:23So you're definitely going to talk to her?
17:25Oh, like you said, it's the only way to go.
17:28Oh, good day.
17:29How was the ride?
17:30Great.
17:30Wasn't it mine?
17:31Yeah, great.
17:32Well, I'd better get back to my room, I suppose,
17:34and start cramming.
17:35Thanks for taking me.
17:37Anytime.
17:39Jemmy wasn't in any trouble, was he?
17:41Oh, good as gold.
17:42He's awake in there.
17:43I think he's happy.
17:46Well, I've just got to go to the toilet.
17:47Grab yourself a snack if you want, Bronny.
17:49Okay, thanks.
17:53Bronny?
17:53Oh, I haven't had a chance to read this yet.
17:55Can't wait.
17:57What are you watching?
17:58Oh, oh, nothing.
17:59No, no, no, it was just on.
18:06Bronny, can we talk?
18:07Just you and me?
18:10Sure.
18:13Listen, I know what you said before,
18:14and don't think I'm trying to change your mind or anything,
18:16but just in case you didn't mean what you said,
18:17I think I need to say something, okay?
18:20Um, I think I lost you.
18:25Well, what it is, is this.
18:29Yes?
18:34We're friends, right?
18:35I mean, we like each other, don't we?
18:37Yeah, yeah.
18:40Excuse me.
18:44Clark House.
18:46Hello, Jackie.
18:47Do you want Mike?
18:49Mike, phone!
18:50Who is it?
18:52Jackie Vidor.
18:54Um, can you tell her I'll ring her back in a couple of minutes?
18:56Yeah, all right.
18:57Jackie?
18:58Yeah, he'll ring you back in a couple of minutes.
19:01Bye.
19:04Yeah.
19:06Bronny, um...
19:07I'm trying to say that I'd like for us to...
19:13Look, um, I'll see to him.
19:17Oh, you might?
19:18No, he'll want his dad.
19:19Sorry.
19:22Right, do you want to try again?
19:23This, uh, this isn't coming really easy, is it?
19:29What I'm trying to say is that...
19:33Oh, uh, I'll get it.
19:38Oh.
19:40I'm Brian Shaw.
19:41I rang about the house.
19:42Oh, uh, right.
19:44Um, I'll give you butchers.
19:45Look, uh, keep an eye on Jamie.
19:46Um, he should be sweet.
19:47Um, see, you might as well give Jackie a ring now.
19:52Talk about a madhouse.
19:55Do you want to try again, or should we wait and make sure there are no more interruptions?
19:59Um, it doesn't matter.
20:02There must have been something you wanted to say.
20:04No, it wasn't anything important, honest.
20:07Look, now you're home, um, I won't hang around.
20:09I've got things to do, so I'll see you later.
20:12Sure.
20:15Yeah.
20:17Bye.
20:17Bye.
20:47Bye.
