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.
00:37I'm following Helen's recipe. Somehow I don't think this pudding is going to turn out quite like hers.
00:43It smells great. That's because I'm using your best brandy.
00:46Will it have presents in it?
00:48Oh, Katie. Helen's still got her original supply of silver sixpences. She'd like us to use them.
00:52Fine. This pudding can use all the help it can get.
00:56Preparing for Christmas was always one of Helen's favorite times.
00:59She's too sick to come and share it with us, isn't she?
01:01Of course she is. But if we want her to get better, we've all got to keep up the visits and talk to her as much as we can.
01:08It's pretty hard to talk to her when she can't answer you.
01:11Well, you can always tell her we're having an early Christmas. She'd like that.
01:14There's something else you could do, Todd. Make a tape. Voices she knows.
01:18What kinds of sounds she's used to hearing in Ramsey Street.
01:20Like bouncer barking, you mean?
01:22Mm, all those kinds of things. That's a great idea.
01:24Yeah, but be careful not to tape anyone that doesn't know they're being taped.
01:28We can do without that sort of drama on Ramsey Street.
01:30Yeah. Hey, now I've finished school, I could start tomorrow morning.
01:34Lucky thing. Wish we'd broken up.
01:36I thought you were looking forward to that play tomorrow.
01:39Who wants to be a princess when Toby mangles a prince?
01:42You're just mad because he said he'd rather kiss a frog.
01:45Well, I'd rather kiss a frog too.
01:47You're lucky his father didn't get angry with you over that black eye.
01:50He was too busy yelling at Toby because he let a girl hit him.
01:53A kid of mine letting a girl give him a shine are unreal.
02:00Needs a bit longer.
02:02It's okay now.
02:04I don't know what me mates are gonna say.
02:06You can bet half the streets laugh when their head's off by now.
02:09What was I supposed to do?
02:11I just don't want the people around here saying my son's a wimp.
02:14I feel stupid.
02:16Yeah.
02:18Well, it's nothing compared to the shine your mum gave me once.
02:21She did?
02:22Yeah, she got a mean right hook that one.
02:24But that's not gonna happen again.
02:26Cause I'm gonna train you to protect yourself in a fight.
02:29Now, what do you want for tea?
02:30A steak, that's for sure.
02:32How about bangers then?
02:34Got some of them garlic ones from the butcher this morning.
02:36Garlic makes your breath stink.
02:38Nah, not if everybody eats it.
02:39Then you'll smell the same, doesn't matter.
02:41The girl does need to have a beauty sleep too, you know.
02:43Not you.
02:44Oh, good eye mate.
02:46Hey, not bad.
02:47You're really getting the hang of this dingo, aren't you?
02:50You think my accent's improving?
02:51My oath it is.
02:52Not that there's anything wrong with the Yankee accent, of course.
02:55Toby, what happened to your eye?
02:57Nothing.
02:58It's okay.
02:59That's some shiner, buddy.
03:00Yeah, he got into a fight with some kid at school.
03:02I'm just about to bang on some bangers.
03:04You want some?
03:05Oh, no, we've eaten at Lassiter's.
03:06Thanks anyway.
03:07Yeah, and I'm afraid I have to get going.
03:08Oh, pity.
03:09Maybe next time?
03:10Yeah, no problem.
03:11Come on, Toby.
03:12Now, don't you forget about our picnic tomorrow.
03:14How could I forget?
03:15I just wish you'd tell me where we're going.
03:17Then it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?
03:27Grant, I know how Gail feels, especially about the house.
03:33She doesn't realise.
03:34I'm not trying to take over the company to prove I'm some big-shot businessman.
03:38I'm just doing it for both of us.
03:41All I want is some real security for our future.
03:45Guess I didn't go about it too intelligently, though, did I?
03:49I suppose I should have told Gail what I had in mind right from the start.
03:54It's what you'd have made me do, isn't it?
03:57Grant?
03:58Grant?
03:59You can hear me, can't you?
04:00Grant?
04:01Grant?
04:02Grant, you can hear me, can't you?
04:03Grant?
04:04Hey!
04:05Grant just tried to open her eyes.
04:06It was only tiny, but it was a definite movement.
04:07She might do it again.
04:08Grant?
04:09Paul, I know how much you're longing to see some sign.
04:10It happens a lot.
04:11Relatives like you care so deeply, convincing themselves of what they're doing.
04:14I don't know.
04:15I don't know.
04:16I don't know.
04:17I don't know.
04:18I don't know.
04:19I don't know.
04:20I don't know.
04:21I don't know.
04:22I don't know.
04:23I don't know.
04:24I don't know.
04:25I don't know.
04:26They're convincing themselves that they've seen something.
04:28Biv, I didn't imagine it.
04:31I'm sorry.
04:32There's no change.
04:34I want it to be true as much as you do.
04:37I'm so short.
04:39But we mustn't stop hoping.
04:41We've got to keep up the visits and the contact.
04:43Go on believing that you'll wake and that you'll be all right.
04:48Well, there's no way I'm going to give up hope.
04:51No way in the world, Grant.
04:54Jane.
04:55Jane.
04:56Jane.
04:57You look nice.
04:58You don't think I've ever done it a bit, do you?
05:01No, it's great.
05:02If you don't bowl that Yankee boyfriend of yours over, I think he's missed in one cylinder.
05:05Yeah.
05:06Well, it's been ages since I've been on a real picnic and knowing Mark it'll be something
05:09special.
05:10Yeah, he's a nice bloke.
05:11I don't mind you bringing a rich rally into the family, Jane.
05:13Jo, we're going on a picnic.
05:14We're not eloping.
05:15Toby, I'm sorry I'm going to miss your play.
05:18Oh, I hope no one turns up to see it.
05:21It's gross.
05:22I'm sure you'll be terrific.
05:23Anyway, I've got to go.
05:24See ya.
05:25Have a good time.
05:26Don't do anything I wouldn't.
05:27Ha ha ha.
05:30How's that eye, mate?
05:31It's okay.
05:32Oh dear.
05:33Prince Charming with a Shiner.
05:35I suppose you wouldn't read about it, would you?
05:37But, that's the last thing you're going to collect.
05:39Come on, I'll give you a few pointers.
05:41I can't wait.
05:42No, no time like the present.
05:43Put that down.
05:44Here, get up here on the table.
05:46Then we'll be at the same level.
05:47Want a hand?
05:49Beauty.
05:52I feel like a real dork.
05:54Button your lip and put up your fists.
05:57Come on.
06:00Don't just stand there and take it.
06:02Have a go.
06:03I told you, I feel like a dork.
06:05Well, throw a punch.
06:06Come on.
06:07You don't think you're going to do me any damage, do you?
06:09That'll be the day.
06:10Come on.
06:15I'll give up.
06:16I think that mother of yours has turned you into a gutless wonder.
06:22Gee, I'm sorry, Dad.
06:24Forget it.
06:25Didn't feel a thing.
06:26Are you sure?
06:27Yeah.
06:28But I think you might have inherited your old lady's right hook.
06:32Ha ha.
06:34Maybe we'll have another sparring session when you get home.
06:37If you're game.
06:38I'll see you at the play.
06:39You don't have to come.
06:41It stinks.
06:42Ha ha.
06:43At least it's going to.
06:44That's for sure.
06:45Don't forget your words.
06:46See ya.
06:47Good luck, Katie.
06:49Yeah.
06:50I'll need it with him in the play.
06:52Bye, Todd.
06:53See ya later.
06:55I'd like to have a word with you, Mr. Mangle, about your dog.
06:58Been leaving messages on your front lawn again, has he?
07:00He was barking half the night.
07:01He frightened the life out of my cat.
07:02Well, Bouncer was here first.
07:03It's his territory.
07:04He doesn't like newcomers, especially cats.
07:05Mr. Mangle, we all have equal rights in this street.
07:07If you can't keep your dog quiet, then he's a menace to the neighbourhood and he'll have to go.
07:10Listen, will you stop telling me what I can and can't do?
07:12It's time somebody pulled you into line, young man.
07:14I'll give you fair warning.
07:15If you don't keep that dog quiet, I'll take legal steps to have him removed.
07:17Over my dead body.
07:18Don't tempt me.
07:19What do you think you're doing?
07:20I'm making a tape for Helen.
07:21Aunt Bev says it might make her get better.
07:22Listen, mate, I don't think hearing a couple of neighbours having a barn is going to be that much good for the patient.
07:25Aunt Bev said to record the story.
07:26She doesn't like a new come, especially cats.
07:27She doesn't like a new come, especially cats.
07:28Mr. Mangle, we all have equal rights in this street.
07:29If you can't keep your dog quiet, then he's a menace to the neighbourhood and he'll have to go.
07:31I'm making a tape for Helen.
07:32Aunt Bev says it might make her get better.
07:34Listen, mate, I don't think hearing a couple of neighbours having a barn is going to be that much good for the patient.
07:38Aunt Bev said to record the sorts of things that go on around here all the time.
07:43Look, it's okay.
07:44Just keep on talking.
07:47Yes, well, I'm sure we can have this little chat later on, Mr. Mangle.
07:52A good neighbour should always be able to sort out their differences.
07:56Yes.
07:57I'll have a word to Bouncer, tell him to tone it down a bit.
08:01And I'm sure pussy will settle in soon.
08:06Well, I've got a lot to do and I'm sure you're a busy man.
08:10Yes.
08:12See you around then.
08:14Have a good day, Mr. Mangle.
08:17Yes.
08:18Yes, I will.
08:20I will.
08:22Roger, over and out.
08:28Madge made a great job of Katie's costume.
08:31I think you can take some of the credit.
08:33Not very much.
08:36Been a long, long time since I were to a school play.
08:40Wish Helen was going with us.
08:42Poor Paul, I felt so bad about having to dash his hopes this morning.
08:46Yeah, well, she's been mother, grandmother and best friend to all my kids.
08:50If she doesn't come out of this...
08:53Jim, we promised to think positive.
08:55It's as important for her as it is for us.
08:59Are you sure it's alright for you to take some time off work this morning?
09:04Yeah, yeah.
09:06Now that Rob and Gloria are billing and cooing again, he's back on the job, body and soul.
09:10Nice to have one form sold.
09:12Oh, two problems, two problems.
09:13The bank's clearing the cheque for the two figurines this morning and I can pay Bess's medical bills.
09:16Oh, that's wonderful.
09:18You can stop worrying yourself sick over it.
09:20Yeah.
09:22It's been quite a year, one way and another.
09:25Yeah, we've had our rough patches.
09:27We've seen the three together.
09:29It's done something very special for the two of us.
09:31Mm-hmm.
09:32Brought us closer than we've ever been.
09:35You do know I love you, Mrs. Robinson.
09:38Thank you very much.
09:40But I still like to hear you say it.
09:41I wasn't spying, honestly.
09:42It's just nice to hear you say those things.
09:43I'll wipe the tape.
09:44No, leave it, Todd.
09:45Are you sure?
09:46Mm-hmm.
09:47I think more than anything else in the world, Helen would like to know what a happy household
09:48this is.
09:49A home she can be glad to come back to.
09:50Are you sure I'm not overdressed for a picnic?
09:51You look perfect, as usual.
09:52Oh, Mark, I thought I'd find it here.
09:53That, um, transport parked outside is yours, I assume.
09:55It sure is.
09:56What transport?
09:57What transport?
09:58What transport?
09:59What transport?
10:00What transport?
10:01What transport?
10:02What transport?
10:03What transport?
10:04What?
10:05Why don't we go find out?
10:06Enjoy your picnic, Winslie.
10:07Enjoy your picnic, Winslie.
10:08Oh, what?
10:09I can't believe it.
10:10Maybe you want to leave him.
10:25Oh, I don't believe it.
10:34So this is a surprise you told me about.
10:36It's not as nippy as a Ferrari, but they tell me it's a lot more fun.
10:42This way, madam.
10:48You're a big help, bouncer.
10:52Come on.
10:56Well, that about does it, I reckon.
10:58Stand clear, bouncer. We'll get this show on the road.
11:01Stop that at once!
11:04Oh, what's the flaming matter now?
11:06Are you going to like that bonfire?
11:08No. I'm going to stand here and look at it and take all the rubbish out and put it back where it come from.
11:12What do you think?
11:13I'm about to hang out my washing.
11:15I don't want your foul smoke polluting my clean laundry.
11:17Yeah? Well, you want to see about getting one of them fancy dryers, lady,
11:20because I'm burning this rubbish today and that's flat.
11:22I am from the country, Mr. Mangle.
11:24We don't believe in putting clean laundry into electric boxes.
11:28We like our washing to dry and blow in God's good air, as nature intended.
11:31Oh, yeah?
11:32Well, it so happens that I'm picking up some of nature's droppings here, lady, you might say.
11:37Most of it's blown across from your side of the fence anyway.
11:40So if you get back on your broomstick and buzz off, I'll get on with it.
11:42Don't you talk to me like that.
11:44You light that fire, I'll go straight to the council and we'll see what they have to say about it.
11:48Go ahead.
11:49Because when I tell them what's been going on there the past few months, they're big all over your face.
11:54Just what does that mean?
11:55No names, no pack drill.
11:57But I bet they'd like to have a look at that wiring system you got in there.
12:00It'd be on the mat in five minutes flat.
12:02Don't you dare threaten me.
12:04Well, you started it, you silly old bag.
12:08Oh, no.
12:09I'm not you again.
12:14Oh, it's okay.
12:15Just carry on like I wasn't here.
12:20Oh, well, I suppose it is a bit windy.
12:23A bit risky to be lighting a fire.
12:26Sparks and all that.
12:28Well, that's very considerate of you, Mr. Mangle.
12:31Oh.
12:32Well, as you've gone to so much trouble to get your garden cleaned, I don't want to be the cause of, well, you're not finishing it.
12:37Yeah, and I wouldn't want your nice, clean laundry end up all smoke-filled, would I?
12:43I can do it tomorrow.
12:45It's not inconvenienced in you in any way?
12:47Not at all.
12:49Anything to oblige a good neighbour.
12:51Likewise, Mr. Mangle.
12:53Great.
12:54Helen's going to get a real buzz out of knowing everyone in Ramsey Street's getting on so well.
13:07I can't understand.
13:08I just wanted to be happy.
13:13I didn't want to be so strong.
13:16I don't understand why you're living so alone.
13:23Oh, ma.
13:26When I plan a surprise, I like to do it in style.
13:28I hope you don't mind.
13:30Mind?
13:30Oh, ma.
13:30I don't believe it's happening.
13:48This is just the beginning.
13:49You know, when I was a little girl, I used to dream that things like this happen.
14:07Well, I'm a firm believer in making one's dreams come true.
14:12A toast.
14:13To us.
14:17May all of our dreams come true.
14:23It's not inconvenienced in you in any way?
14:26Not at all.
14:28You need to oblige a good neighbour.
14:30Likewise, Mr. Mangle.
14:34Likewise, Mr. Mangle.
14:37Hey, Katie, come and have a listen to this.
14:39Never going back to that school again.
14:41Not ever.
14:41Never.
14:42Well, what are you carrying on about?
14:44It was the grossest thing that had ever happened to me.
14:46And they all knew, and now everyone's laughing at me.
14:49I get it.
14:50Toby Mangle wouldn't kiss you, right?
14:52He did kiss me, and I was revolting.
14:54He really stank.
14:56He'd been eating all this garlic all day, and I nearly threw up.
14:59Yeah, well, it's not Toby's fault that he'd been eating something with garlic in it.
15:02He ate it on purpose.
15:04He had it in his school bag.
15:05I saw it.
15:06He wrecked the whole play, and even all the parents started laughing.
15:09Yeah, well, cheer up.
15:10You'll never have to kiss Toby Mangle again.
15:13Hey, do you want to come with me to see Helen?
15:15Aunt Bev and Uncle Jim have already gone, but they said we could go too.
15:18Lucy said she'd take me tonight.
15:19Anyway, I promised Sonia I'd go over and tell her about this stupid play.
15:23She couldn't come because she was sick.
15:25But first, I have to clean my teeth at least ten times,
15:28and rinse my mouth out so I don't go around smelling like Toby Mangle.
15:35And rinse my mouth out so I don't go around smelling like Toby Mangle.
15:40Uncle Jim said you weren't allowed to do that, not without telling people first.
15:43You don't mind, do you?
15:44No, not if it helps Granville any better.
15:50And Katie looked at picture, didn't she, darling?
15:52Yes.
15:53And she remembered all the words.
15:55Although it is the first time I've ever heard Sleeping Beauty say,
15:57yuck, when she was kissed by the handsome prince.
15:59I think Toby was getting even for that black eye.
16:02Yeah.
16:03You can see how much we miss you at home.
16:05Things are getting just a bit out of hand.
16:07Okay to come in?
16:08Of course.
16:09Where's Katie?
16:10Oh, she's going over to Sonia's place
16:12after she's finished scrubbing all the garlic off her teeth.
16:15How's Helen? Any better?
16:16There's no change yet, but I'm sure there will be soon.
16:19How'd the taping go?
16:21Oh, really great.
16:21I got some terrific stuff from Joe Mangle and Mrs. Chubb.
16:24They did know that you were taping, though.
16:26Yeah, that's what makes it so funny.
16:27Sounds just the kind of thing Helen would love to hear.
16:30How about we have a listen?
16:31Right, yeah.
16:37Oh, what am I doing back here?
16:38I feel like I'm floating on a cloud.
16:40That's probably the champagne.
16:41Oh, no.
16:42I've drank champagne before and it never made me feel like this.
16:45Could it be the company, I wonder?
16:47Well, I'd like to think that.
16:50Oh, I don't think I need to ask if you enjoyed yourselves.
16:54Yeah, we had a fantastic time.
16:55The food, the wine, the setting, the...
16:57The company, don't forget the company.
16:58The butler, the carriage driver and the host.
17:01That's great, but I hate to bring you back down to earth, Jane,
17:03but can you handle things while I go and see Grant?
17:05Yeah, well, is she worse, is she?
17:07I mean, you went and saw her this morning.
17:08Well, they say there's no change, but...
17:11Well, I just...
17:12I can't really concentrate on work right now.
17:14I'll see you later, mate.
17:14You can count on that.
17:17Nice guy.
17:19Mm, he is.
17:20He's trying to hide it,
17:21but I know he's worried sick about Mrs Daniels.
17:23Yeah, it seems a lot of people are.
17:25She must be rather a special lady.
17:27She is.
17:28Like you.
17:28You really did enjoy our picnic today, didn't you?
17:33I don't know that I'd call it just a picnic.
17:36What would you call it?
17:38I don't know.
17:40You know, I've been in all sorts of glamorous settings before with my modelling,
17:44but I always knew it was just pretend.
17:47Camera stops and it all ends.
17:49Just a little bit of make-believe to create pretty pictures.
17:52Today was different, though,
17:54because today really happened,
17:55and it happened to me.
17:57It still feels like a dream,
17:59but it was a real dream.
18:01Something for me to keep forever.
18:04Thank you, Mark.
18:06It's my pleasure.
18:10He's done something very special for the two of us.
18:13Mm-hm.
18:13Brought us closer than we've ever been.
18:16You do know I love you, Mrs Robinson.
18:21What did you turn it off for?
18:22Oh, I've played it through once already.
18:24It just didn't work.
18:26You don't know that.
18:26That's why we have to keep on trying.
18:28I'll come in again tomorrow.
18:29You did a good job.
18:31I really enjoyed Joe and Mrs Chubb.
18:32And Katie carrying on about Toby.
18:34We should have remembered to record the school play.
18:36Speaking of Katie, we should be going, Jim.
18:39Yeah.
18:40Bye, Helen.
18:42See you later.
18:45We'll try again tomorrow.
18:48Oh, hi.
18:48Hi.
18:49I didn't expect to see you back again today,
18:50knowing your workload.
18:51I just thought I'd come and spend an hour or two with Gran.
18:54I can't really concentrate on work anyway.
18:56I understand.
18:57See you later.
18:58Okay, dear.
18:58Bye.
18:59See you later.
19:08Dad, Dad, quick.
19:09Come in here.
19:11Look.
19:11Everybody needs good neighbors.
19:36Neighbors, just a friendly wave each morning helps to make a better day.
19:48Neighbors need to get to know each other.
19:53Neighbors.
19:54Next door is only a footstep away.
20:04Neighbors.
20:06Everybody needs good neighbors.
20:10With a little understanding, you can find the perfect plan.
20:18Neighbors should be there for one another.
20:26That's when good neighbors become good friends.
20:36Hey.
20:42Halfway.
20:43I am thinking.
20:45I am thinking.
20:45Hear yourself.
20:46I will see you forever.
20:47I will see you later.
20:48I am thinking.
20:48I am thinking, if you can come and build shy.
20:49I am thinking.
