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.
00:36Never realized working in the coffee shop involved so much standing around.
00:40Well, you shouldn't have cooked us such a big meal then. We could have had something light.
00:43A lot of nonsense. I've never let work interfere with my home life.
00:47Well, I don't know. I wouldn't want to be cooking all day and then come home and have to do it too.
00:51Yes, well, you've been living in the city too long, haven't you?
00:53It's all microwaves and fast food, isn't it?
00:56Do you know Henry actually makes coffee in the microwave? Can't be bothered boiling the water.
01:00It's called convenience, Aunty.
01:02That's what I call it.
01:04Oh, no, who's that?
01:06It's all right. I'll get it.
01:10Hey! Hi!
01:12Just came around to see how I need to get on today.
01:14Oh, I got on very well, thank you.
01:16Considering I was virtually doing the work of two.
01:19How come?
01:20A boyfriend of yours, of course.
01:22What's Henry done now?
01:23Very little, that's the trouble.
01:25We should put half as much effort into working as he does in thinking of ways of getting out of it.
01:29Oh, well, those dishes won't wash themselves.
01:32I'll do it.
01:33No, no, no. You never do them properly.
01:35I give up.
01:36Oh, let her go if she wants to play the martyr.
01:39Hey, what's happened to Nick's mural?
01:42Don't ask me.
01:43Aunt Edie wanted to get rid of it, and I didn't want to, but you know what she's like?
01:47She goes on and on and on, and I was really dark on Nick, so I gave in.
01:51Does he know?
01:52Does he what?
01:53Oh, boy.
01:54Coming after all the fights we've had lately.
01:56I think it's over between us.
01:59Oh, believe that one and you'll believe anything.
02:01No, seriously, Bronny, he was really hurt.
02:03I mean, can you blame him?
02:05He's probably sitting over there saying the same thing about you.
02:08Something one might find out, you know.
02:11I don't know, Bronny, he was really angry.
02:14And now he's had a chance to cool down.
02:16Go and speak to him.
02:18He might surprise you.
02:20From the minute I started losing weight, it was like he was a different person.
02:26I don't understand.
02:27I thought Rob would have been chuffed at the way you look now.
02:30Rob likes his women cuddly, short and plump.
02:33Mum was like that.
02:34Thanks.
02:35Built for comfort, not for speed.
02:37That's what he always says.
02:38Yep, that's right.
02:39Hang on.
02:40You're telling me that your marriage is falling apart because of that?
02:43Yeah.
02:44I mean, you know how I looked before.
02:46Let's face it, I was no Rachel Welch.
02:49But when the weight came off, Rob started thinking other men were fancying me.
02:53It was all in his imagination.
02:55But try telling him that.
02:57Oh, he's got one heck of a temper, that dad of yours, Gail.
03:02I know, I know.
03:03Oh, I wouldn't have minded that.
03:04I don't mind a bit of a Barney now and again.
03:07I can give as good as I get, if you know what I mean.
03:09Oh, yeah, I think so.
03:11I mean, does your good sometimes.
03:12Have a good old ding dong, get it all off your chest,
03:15then kiss and make up later.
03:17But there hasn't been much kissing lately.
03:20Nothing.
03:21He told me that if I wanted him to get interested in me again,
03:26I had to give up the diet and stop exercising.
03:28He what?
03:29Oh, yeah.
03:30Well, I'm going to have a few words to say to him.
03:32And I really thought about doing it.
03:34I did.
03:35And then I said to myself, hang on.
03:38I feel really good the way I am now.
03:41I like the way I look.
03:43I haven't felt this great in years.
03:45So I said to myself, blow him.
03:48He can stick it up his jumper.
03:50Yeah, well, good for you.
03:51I don't blame you.
03:52You can't help thinking you only married me for the flab, can you?
03:56Well, I'm not putting it back.
03:59So it looks as if we haven't got much reason to go on, does it?
04:04Oh, Gloria, I'm sure it hasn't reached that stage yet.
04:07No.
04:08I think it's gone past it.
04:14Come on, Todd.
04:16Time for bed.
04:17Look, there's this unreal creature feature on.
04:19Yeah, and that's exactly what you're going to look like when I try to drag you out of bed in the morning.
04:22The school holidays aren't far away.
04:23You can stay up as late as you like then.
04:25I didn't think I'd ever be jealous of Lucy going to a snotty little girls' school.
04:29They get a whole week longer than we do.
04:31Yeah, but they work longer hours during the term so it evens out, doesn't it?
04:34Do you want to come with me when I meet Lucy at the station?
04:36Yeah.
04:37Oh, I can't.
04:38I promised Nick I'd do some modelling for his art class.
04:41I'm a favour or two.
04:43It's going to be good seeing her again, though.
04:45Yeah.
04:46Yeah, it is.
04:47I've got this little Christmas present.
04:48It's not much, but, you know, can you stick it under the tree for me?
04:51Sure, sure.
04:52Thanks.
04:53I would have liked to have had you and Katie stay with us.
04:55You know that, don't you?
04:56Yeah, I know.
04:57How do you feel about going and seeing your parents?
05:00A bit funny, I guess.
05:01Katie's really looking forward to it, though.
05:03Yeah, she is.
05:04It might be good.
05:05It's worth a try.
05:06Sure is.
05:07I'll see you in the morning.
05:08Okay, nice.
05:09Hello, Sharon.
05:11Come in.
05:12Hi, Mr. Robinson.
05:13Um, is Nick around?
05:14Sure.
05:15Sure he is.
05:16Nick, someone to see you.
05:17I thought you and Nick were around.
05:18Oh, we are.
05:19That's sort of why I'm here.
05:20Ah, is that all it is?
05:21Well, I'll leave you two.
05:23Two.
05:24Look, I just want to say one thing and then I'll go, okay?
05:29I'm really sorry about your work being painted over, but it wasn't my idea, it was Aunt Edie's.
05:33And I think it's stupid that we're fighting.
05:35Okay, you've had your say.
05:37Nick!
05:38Nick!
05:39Well, what do you reckon?
05:40You can just bop in here when you feel like it, say sorry and everything's okay.
05:43Oh, you never intended the mural to be permanent.
05:45But that isn't the point, Sharon.
05:47The fact that you could help paint it out and pose the way you did shows you really don't
05:51know where I'm coming from, do you?
05:53It's been like that right from the start.
05:54You keep me at arm's length until you need something.
05:56That isn't fair.
05:57Well, you should look at it from where I'm standing.
06:00Look, all I'm saying is that it didn't work out.
06:03That's too bad.
06:05But I can't see any point in going on.
06:09Can we still be friends?
06:12Yeah, right.
06:16Friends.
06:24Hi.
06:27Yeah, look, Simon, I'd really appreciate it if you would, mate.
06:37Mm-hmm.
06:38Yep.
06:39Yeah, as soon as possible.
06:41Okay.
06:42Yeah, I'll talk to you then.
06:43Bye.
06:44What's that?
06:45Oh, it's Simon.
06:46Simon?
06:47A bit early in the morning to be talking to your stockbroker, isn't it?
06:50No, I was just catching up on a few things while I've been away.
06:53Well, you could have wanted a few hours.
06:54I thought you were taking a day off to get over your jet lag.
06:56Gail, you do not build empires by continually taking days off.
07:00Oh, we're empire building now, are we?
07:02Just a figure of speech.
07:04Well, you know what these high-powered yanks are like.
07:06You end up talking like them after a while.
07:08Gail.
07:10Oh, Rob, come on in.
07:12All right, where is she?
07:14Dad, hi.
07:15You told me to stay away last night.
07:16All right, I stayed.
07:18It's morning now.
07:19Or am I still not welcome?
07:20Oh, Rob, nobody said you weren't welcome.
07:22We just felt you and Gloria needed last night to cool off.
07:25Yeah, you made it perfectly clear whose side you were on.
07:27Dad, we just want you and Gloria to sort things out.
07:30It's going to be a bit harder if I can't even talk to her, isn't it?
07:33I don't even know if she's up yet.
07:34Oh, well, I'll go and see that.
07:35You'll do no such thing.
07:37You stay right there and I'll go and tell her you're here.
07:39If she agrees to come down, and I say if, you might try being a little nice to her.
07:44You're not going to get anywhere by shouting.
07:46You're wasting your breath, love.
07:47Rob only knows one speed.
07:49Follow the gate.
07:50Full speed ahead.
07:51You coming home or what?
07:52See what I mean?
07:53Ah, you certainly know how to sweet talk a girl, Rob.
07:56All right, all right.
07:57Will you please come home?
07:59Is that better?
08:00Unless you've changed your attitude, I don't think there's very much point.
08:03I just want you to put a bit of weight on.
08:05That's not too much for a husband to ask, is it?
08:07It's not much of a husband that'd ask it.
08:09And if that's the way you're going to be, I think you'd better stay out of my life.
08:13For good.
08:20Okay, well listen, do you need that in writing?
08:22Fine, fine.
08:23All right, well we'll call it one month's notice from today and we'll close the accounts.
08:27Oh, you're all of them.
08:29No, no, no, just diversifying a little.
08:32All right, Des, I'll talk to you soon, mate.
08:35Bye.
08:36More empire building?
08:38No, it was a social call.
08:40Couldn't sound like it.
08:41All right, what did...
08:43Gail, can I see you for a sec?
08:44Yeah.
08:45Oh, g'day, Paul, how's the States?
08:46I'm pretty exhausting.
08:47Oh, if you'd like.
08:48Um, any chance of me grabbing an extra day time shift in the bar this week?
08:51I thought you were helping out at the coffee shop.
08:54Well, I am.
08:55Only, you see, if I'd got an extra shift to work in the bar and it was really urgent and no way around it, I wouldn't be able to do the coffee shop, would I?
09:01Oh, I get it, Mrs. Chubb.
09:04You've got no idea what she's like.
09:06Look, I'm telling you, I'll never make the distance.
09:08You've got to help me, Gail.
09:09I'm sorry, Henry.
09:10Madge is in charge of the rosters and she's organised everything so that you'd be free to work at the coffee shop and I don't like your chances of getting her to change anything.
09:16I know that, but I thought you might, um, you know.
09:20I'll cover her head.
09:21Yes.
09:22Yeah.
09:23I'm sorry, Henry, no can-do.
09:25Oh, well, it's worth a try.
09:28See ya.
09:29See ya.
09:30Hi.
09:31Ah, don't worry, not stopping, but I'm on my way to the market and I thought I might pick something up for you.
09:38Got to pay my way, you know.
09:39Don't be silly, there's no need.
09:41Yeah, of course not.
09:42Listen, how did you go after we left?
09:44Make any progress?
09:45Oh, you've got to be kidding.
09:47He's just not prepared to see my point of view.
09:50You've got to be kidding.
09:51She's not prepared to see my side of the story.
09:53It's not just a weight thing, you know.
09:55Her whole personality's changed.
09:57She used to be a bundle of laughs.
09:59No, she's no fun at all.
10:00Are you sure you're just not seeing what you want to see?
10:03I'm not seeing what I want to see.
10:04That's the whole problem.
10:06Excuse me a second, Rod.
10:10Hey, mate.
10:11Hi, listen.
10:12It's about you for a tune.
10:13Can I make a booking?
10:14Drop it in tomorrow morning, if you like.
10:16Tomorrow?
10:17Great.
10:18Actually, I'm pleased you called by because I wanted to make an appointment to come and see you.
10:21Mm-hmm.
10:22You've heard about these, uh, medical bills we got from the States?
10:25Yeah, I heard about that.
10:27That's...
10:28That's pretty rough.
10:29Well, as far as I can see, the only way I can meet them is by remortgaging the house, and I wonder what the chances were.
10:35Well, I'll see what I can arrange, but are you sure that's what you want to do?
10:39I don't have much choice, do I?
10:41Look, I know it's none of my business, but, uh, have you thought about speaking to Paul?
10:46I know he's helped you in the past, and his interests will be a lot less than ours.
10:51Look, I don't want to butt him where I'm not wanted, but, look, have a think about it.
10:56If you want to go through the bank, give us a ring and make an appointment.
10:58Okay.
10:59All right?
11:00Thanks.
11:01See you.
11:02See you.
11:03I should have gone in there, and I should have dragged her home.
11:09That's what I should have done.
11:10I thought about it at the time, I'll tell you.
11:13Rob!
11:14Rob, you've had a fight with your wife.
11:16Now, instead of getting heavy about it, why don't you do what every other husband does under the same circumstances?
11:20Buy her a present, and admit you were wrong.
11:22No, yeah, but...
11:23Rob!
11:24It doesn't matter whether you are wrong or not.
11:26Just admit you were wrong.
11:27Give us all some peace.
11:29Well, that's the worst of it over.
11:45Not to sell the dishes.
11:47We've been flat-shed all morning.
11:50Can't we relax for a while first?
11:51Well, you might be able to.
11:52I certainly couldn't, knowing I've got a kitchen full of dirty dishes.
11:55Yes, I've noticed how clean you keep everything out there.
11:58It beats me how you do it with all the work going on.
12:00It must be a gift, Mrs Chubb.
12:01Everything really shines after you've done it.
12:03Henry, I have raised two nieces who are experts at finding ways out of doing the dishes.
12:07You are an amateur.
12:09Ah, what are you doing here at this time of day?
12:12Oh, well, it's nearly the end of term.
12:13My class was let out early.
12:15Good.
12:16You can help Henry.
12:17He's just going to do the washing up.
12:18What?
12:19Oh, great.
12:20Mind me not to come in here next time.
12:22I'll get an early bar.
12:24Yes, Mr Clark.
12:26Oh, I just dropped in to see if everything was all right.
12:29Everything is fine.
12:30It was fine when you came in at 9.30, and it was fine when you came in at 11.30.
12:33And I'm sure if you were to drop in this afternoon, everything would still be fine.
12:37Look, if you don't think I can do the job...
12:39Oh, no, no, no, no.
12:40You are doing fine.
12:41I'll get back to the bank.
12:42See you.
12:43Righty-o.
12:44Who does what I'll...
12:45What?
12:46Tell you what, why don't I wash?
12:49Sounds good to me.
12:51Um, I've been meaning to ask you guys why you moved to the city.
12:57Why?
12:58You're wishing we hadn't now.
12:59No, no, just curious.
13:01Oh, well, it wasn't a difficult decision for me.
13:03I mean, after Bronnie left, I was copying all her jobs as well.
13:06What about Bron?
13:08Um, well, I guess she didn't want to stick around after she broke up with Tom.
13:13No, no.
13:14Oh, Tom.
13:15Um, so how come they broke up in the first place?
13:18I think you'd better ask her about that.
13:20Well, I...
13:21I did, but she avoided telling me.
13:23There you go.
13:24Look, I might as well tell you.
13:26Uh, your aunt said something about a big scam.
13:29Uh...
13:30Well, I reckon I've got a right to know what it was about, Chas.
13:33She would go blabbing, wouldn't she?
13:35All right.
13:37But there was this guy called Jimmy McMunty who also liked Bronnie.
13:41And on the night of her engagement to Tom,
13:43Dad caught her and Jimmy out in the wool shed together.
13:46Oh, what?
13:47They're not gonna get done with you standing around talking.
13:51What were they doing in the wool shed?
13:54Not now.
13:58So, you doing anything tonight?
14:00No.
14:01Well, if Lucy isn't too tired, we could go to the pictures or something.
14:04Look, hold still.
14:05Sorry.
14:06So, what do you say?
14:08No.
14:10Come on, you can't stay stuck in here for the rest of your life
14:12just because you're not going out with Chas anymore.
14:14This has nothing to do with Sharon.
14:16I just want to finish the picture, that's all.
14:18Come on.
14:19Lucy!
14:22Oh, hi.
14:23Hi.
14:24Nick, this is my daughter Lucy.
14:26Lucy, Nick Page.
14:27Grant's told me so much about you.
14:28She says you're very talented.
14:30Oh, I don't know about that.
14:31Is this yours?
14:32Yeah, yeah.
14:33It's pretty rough.
14:34I'll put your bags in the room, darling.
14:36Sorry, Heskel.
14:37It's really good.
14:38I can see what Grant means.
14:39Thought I'd make a spaghetti bowl for dinner, yeah?
14:50Yeah, that's right.
14:51Hey, listen, come here.
14:52I think there's something we should have a bit of a talk about.
14:55Oh.
14:56Oh, you mean all those furtive phone calls?
14:58Hmm?
14:59Something to do with Rosemary, isn't it?
15:00Yeah.
15:01Listen, it's a fantastic opportunity.
15:03I don't believe this.
15:05Rob.
15:06What a surprise.
15:07Oh, Gail, hi.
15:08Hello.
15:09Is Gloria still here?
15:10Can I see her?
15:11Yeah, I'm just telling you're here.
15:12Gloria, Rob's here.
15:13Again?
15:14I'm sorry you two got caught up in the middle of all this, love.
15:15No, that's okay.
15:16Just as long as you haven't come over to take up where you left off.
15:17Oh, I haven't.
15:18No fear, I want her back, Gail.
15:19I don't care what it takes.
15:20You haven't got a show, mate.
15:21Unless you've done some serious rethinking.
15:22I have, I promise.
15:23I've been a selfish pig and I'm sorry.
15:24I really want your bag.
15:25Look, I brought you a present.
15:26I hope you like it.
15:27Aww.
15:28What's in it?
15:29Just wait and see.
15:30Oh.
15:31Oh.
15:32Oh.
15:33Oh.
15:34Oh.
15:35Oh.
15:36Oh.
15:37Oh.
15:38Oh.
15:39Oh.
15:40Oh.
15:41Oh.
15:42Oh.
15:43Oh.
15:44Oh.
15:45Oh.
15:46Oh.
15:47Oh.
15:48Oh.
15:49Oh.
15:50Chocolates?
15:51Oh.
15:52Oh.
15:53Oh.
15:54Oh, oh.
15:55Oh.
15:56Chocolates?
15:57Oh.
15:58Of all the dirty low-down tricks you want me back again, back to being a blimp, you'd
16:00do anything to fatten me up.
16:02No, I wouldn't.
16:03I mean, I just didn't think.
16:04Oh.
16:05For God's sake, woman, we've just met him.
16:15You can just hear Aunt Edie's new reading takeaway.
16:18Hello? Anybody home?
16:22Sorry, I was just thinking.
16:26I reckon it's really important when two people are going together that they
16:30trust each other, don't you? Yeah, sure.
16:34Well, I wanted you to know that I do.
16:38Good, I'm glad. What brought that on?
16:42Well, I just want you to know.
16:46Well, I mean, anything you did in the past,
16:50it's over. It's got nothing to do with us. Not unless you wanted to tell me about it.
16:54Mary, what are you burbling about?
16:58Um, look, I know about you and that
17:02bloke in the wool shed. What? And the way I see it, just because you cheated on
17:06Tom doesn't necessarily mean you're going to cheat on me. Who told you? But Sharon will kill her.
17:10I made her. What gives you the right?
17:14I already told you all I wanted you to know.
17:16Look, I wasn't exactly Snoopy.
17:18What else would you call it then?
17:20At least next time try to get your facts straight.
17:22Bronny! Oh, drop dead!
17:28Well, it's very nice of you to introduce yourself, Lucy.
17:32You certainly didn't get your lovely manners from that school that Sharon goes to.
17:36Why don't I suppose you're home from the holidays?
17:38I don't think it's going to be much of a holiday with Gran in hospital, though.
17:40Oh, don't take that attitude.
17:42I'm sure your grandmother will be home before you know it.
17:44I hope so.
17:46I've got some scones in the oven. Just stay and talk to Sharon and you might learn something.
17:52She always goes on like that. You learn to switch off.
17:54Well, have a seat.
17:58So, um, I guess everything's pretty different since you were last here, hey?
18:02You're telling me. I hardly know anybody anymore.
18:04How well do you know Nick?
18:08Oh, pretty well.
18:10Isn't he a spunk?
18:11Gran wrote to me and told me about his aunt.
18:12Just like her to forget the important stuff, though.
18:14Maybe this holiday isn't going to be so bad after all.
18:18Uh, don't you think he might be a little bit old for you?
18:21No, I usually go for older guys.
18:23Oh, Sharon.
18:26You promised you wouldn't tell anybody. You absolutely promised.
18:28What are you talking about? Henry.
18:30Henry. Bronnie, I had to because I'm...
18:32Because you couldn't keep your big, fab mouth shut.
18:35I'll never forgive you, Sharon, ever.
18:42Listen, Paul, if I've come at a bad time, I can always come...
18:44No, no, no. It's all right, Dad.
18:45It's just what with jet lag and now Rob and Gloria are at each other's throats.
18:48It's been a bit like a rerun of World War II around this day.
18:51Yeah. He's been going on about it at the workshop a bit, too.
18:54Anyway, I've always got time for you. What's happening?
18:57Well, you know, I'm up for over $100,000 for Bess's medical expenses in the States.
19:02Yeah.
19:03You've offered to lend me money in the past. I've always said no.
19:05If the offer's still open, I'd like to say yes this time.
19:08I see.
19:10Well, it doesn't have to be the lot. Anything will help.
19:13I'm sorry, Dad. I can't lend you a brass rasu.
19:17Paul?
19:18You think I'm a bad risk or something?
19:20No, it's not that at all, Dad. It's just...
19:23Well, the truth is I don't have any money to lend.
19:25What?
19:26Well, I've been trying to explain to you all day, but we keep getting interrupted.
19:31Rosemary wants to sell off the Australian arm of the corporation and we've worked out a scheme for me to buy it.
19:36You're kidding.
19:37No, I'm not. We've spent the best part of two days working out a scheme.
19:41Well, it is feasible, but only just. And it ain't cheap. That means it's going to take everything we've got and some.
19:47Paul, if we have to go in that deep, I really don't think we should do it.
19:51No, Gayle, you don't understand. I've already accepted. We are committed.
