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.
00:34Carrie, if you want to use the machine, I've finished with it.
00:36Okay.
00:38Skye, what are you doing? Oh, Skye, that's Grandma's book. Carrie!
00:46What's the matter?
00:48Would you please explain to your daughter that I don't let anyone scribble on my books in colored crayons?
00:53Oh, Skye, now what have you been doing?
00:55Hardly the illustrations the author intended, I'm sure.
00:58I'm sorry, Madge, but Skye doesn't...
01:00Doesn't know any better, I know. Well, you better teach her.
01:03I will.
01:05You think I should smack her, don't you?
01:08Doesn't matter what I think. Skye's your child, you've got to bring her up the way you think best.
01:12Yes, I do.
01:14Look, I appreciate you for understanding that, Madge. I know it goes against the grain.
01:19Never let it be said I'm the kind of woman who would interfere after she's been asked not to.
01:23Now, you listen to Mummy.
01:25And if you're a very good girl, tomorrow I'll buy you a special coloring book, how's that?
01:29Yeah!
01:30Yeah!
01:31All right, come on. Hold up.
01:34Who stole...
01:35Who stole my newspaper, eh?
01:36Well, don't look at me. Where did you leave it this morning?
01:38I didn't leave it anywhere. I haven't even seen it.
01:40I don't think it arrived. It certainly wasn't there when I went out to get it before breakfast.
01:43Oh? How well did you look?
01:44In the usual places. I looked on the roof, in the garden, on the footpath.
01:49I don't know how important it was. I would have organized an emu parade.
01:52A civil question, Madge. A civil question.
01:54Look, I don't know what's happened to it, Harold. Maybe the paperboy gave us news this morning.
01:58You'd better not have. I paid good money to have that paper delivered here.
02:02Oh, Dad, look, you won't go broke over a newspaper.
02:04It's the principle of the thing, Kerry.
02:06I'm gonna have a word with that newsagent and find out what's going on here.
02:10Yes, you do that, Harold.
02:14I know you think this sort of thing isn't very important, Madge,
02:16but this country was built on cheerful, efficient service.
02:20And where would we all be without it, hmm?
02:31Thanks.
02:34I don't think I deserved that.
02:35You did go off the deep end, sweetheart.
02:37I could have put that money to good use at the workshop as I originally planned.
02:40The workshop's going all right, isn't it?
02:42Well, it's scraping by.
02:44If we could afford to upgrade the machine, we'd be doing it down side better.
02:48Ever since the engineering business went down the tubes,
02:51I seem to be, I don't know, lurching from one failure to the next.
02:55Here I had a chance to get back on top of things.
02:57But Helen would rather spend the money on ponies and trail bikes.
03:00I mean, how would you feel?
03:01Disappointed, I guess.
03:03And don't think it's any fun going off to that tech each week.
03:06I don't.
03:07Surrounded by a bunch of know-it-all 17-year-olds,
03:09most of whom I could run rings around.
03:11It's demeaning.
03:12This is about more than the money, isn't it?
03:14You don't obsess me most about missing out.
03:19I mean, what other people must think.
03:21By rights, that inheritance was mine,
03:23but for some reason my mother left it to Helen.
03:28It hurts to realise that your mother, for no fault of your own,
03:32just simply doesn't love you.
03:47I love you heaps, you know that?
03:48Mm-hmm.
03:49You do.
03:50The thing about that rotten skin I've just been grabbing by the-
03:52Henry's behind bars now.
03:56Well, at least one good thing came out of it.
03:57What's that?
03:58No more belly dancing.
03:59I've got you all to myself again.
04:00Henry, you possessive old being.
04:03I'm not interrupting anything, am I?
04:05No!
04:06Oh, nothing that can't wait for five minutes, Paul.
04:08How goes it?
04:09Oh, bad to worse.
04:11Oh, that good.
04:12A hard day at the office.
04:14You know, I am just getting so tired
04:16of getting the cold shoulder from Gail.
04:18Beginning to wonder whether the whole thing's worth it.
04:20Oh, hang in there, mate.
04:22Oh, for how much longer, Henry?
04:24No, I don't know.
04:25I might just call it a day.
04:27Negative attitude, Paul?
04:28Bad emotional spine?
04:29We've got to get out of it.
04:30Why don't you go out and have a night on the tiles for a change?
04:33Grab some, mate, and really...
04:34Woo!
04:35Cut loose!
04:37No, no, I couldn't, no.
04:39I've got a few reports I should catch up on.
04:41I'll try and make some headway on those.
04:42You'll lose yourself in your work.
04:44Yeah, something like that.
04:45Well, if you're not going to take my advice, Paul...
04:47No, thanks anyway, H, but I'll be okay.
04:49No helping some people.
04:51Where were we?
04:52Henry...
04:53I said I could wait five minutes and your time is definitely up.
04:55Not yet it isn't.
04:56Where do you reckon?
04:57Stop us!
04:58What?
04:59What?
05:00No, you don't mean that.
05:01I do!
05:02You do not!
05:03Henry, behave!
05:04I am behaving and now you're in my power.
05:05Come to me!
05:06Henry, stop!
05:07Listen, guys, I might go back to the office and finish things.
05:12Oh, sorry, Paul.
05:13We'll go upstairs or something.
05:15Let you get on with your work.
05:16No, don't be silly.
05:18You guys are in love.
05:19You should enjoy it.
05:20Don't let me stop you.
05:21I'll be back about nine.
05:22I'll hold dinner till then.
05:23Okay, thanks.
05:27Sad to see him like that.
05:29He's really lonely without Gail.
05:31Yeah, I know.
05:32It's rotten when you think about it.
05:34No, they're so right for each other.
05:39Oh, Harold Bishop.
05:41How much longer are you going to be telling them?
05:43Blessed news agents.
05:44I would like to get dinner over before midnight.
05:47Oh, damn!
05:49Oh, Skye, no darling.
05:51Your feet.
05:52Kerry!
05:53Would you come out here and see to your daughter, please?
05:56What's the matter?
05:57I smashed a glass and Skye nearly walked in the broken bits.
06:00Oh, God.
06:02No, she's okay.
06:03Yeah, only because I was here to pick her up.
06:05Why you don't put shoes on the child beyond me?
06:08I think you're overreacting, Madge.
06:09She hasn't hurt herself.
06:10No, not this time, but what about next time and the time after that?
06:13For goodness sake, go and spend a few dollars and get her something to protect her feet.
06:17If you can't afford to, I'll buy her a pair of shoes myself.
06:19Skye has got plenty of shoes.
06:21Well, why don't you put them on her?
06:23They're not doing any good sitting in the wardrobe.
06:25I have had this conversation before.
06:27Skye is not wearing shoes every waking moment.
06:30That's bad for her.
06:31Her feet are growing like...
06:32They're not going to be doing anything if they're cut to ribbons.
06:34Madge, you're interfering again.
06:35I am merely interested in Skye's welfare, something that obviously doesn't concern you.
06:40It happens to be something I am very concerned about.
06:42Well, why, for heaven's sake, don't you show it?
06:45What on earth is going on here?
06:47The whole street can hear you to scream at each other like a couple of old harpies.
06:50For heaven's sake, tell me, please, what this is all about.
06:53Hmm?
07:01And it's important that Skye can run around without wearing shoes all the time.
07:05It's more natural and it allows her feet to grow properly.
07:08It is all so dangerous.
07:09You know the kind of things that are left around on the floor.
07:11Now, if she's going to stand on something...
07:12We've already heard your side of the argument, Madge.
07:14We don't need a replay.
07:15Well, I think perhaps you do.
07:17I might as well be talking to a post for all the notice you're taking.
07:20I will raise my child as I see fit.
07:22Without listening to the voice of experience.
07:24Oh, that's very sensible.
07:25Now, that is enough.
07:26I do know what's right for Skye.
07:28Ever heard of maternal instinct?
07:30Oh, that's rubbish.
07:31Unless it's backed up with sensible precautions and in this case it isn't.
07:35I said that's enough.
07:36Now, be quiet, both of you.
07:40I've listened to both sides of this argument.
07:44I must say I think Madge is right.
07:46Oh, hang on a minute.
07:47Just because she's your wife.
07:48That has nothing to do with it, Kerry.
07:50Now, be fair.
07:52I've sided with you in most issues lately, but this time I happen to think that Madge is right and you were wrong.
07:56Well, thanks for your support, Dad.
07:58I really appreciate it.
08:00Where are you going?
08:02To give Skye a bath.
08:04Perhaps you have some handy hints on childcare when it comes to bath time.
08:08Just keep her head above water.
08:10Madge.
08:11Sorry.
08:14Now, that remark was totally uncalled for.
08:17Yes, I know.
08:19Thanks for being on my side.
08:21At least you believe I've got Skye's welfare at heart.
08:25I have never thought otherwise.
08:31Someone pass the milk, please.
08:38I bet you Katie's giving Sonia an earful about her pony.
08:48Finish your dessert, Todd.
08:51So, what do you think about me and Sharon getting back together?
08:53Good news, eh?
08:54Yeah, excellent.
08:55You should see it from where I'm sitting.
08:57Excuse me.
08:58Don't you want you to?
08:59I'll make her another cup later.
09:00I want to go and see Des.
09:02A few boys are finished.
09:03I want to go and see the telly.
09:04Yeah, it's all right.
09:13Not the most pleasant family meal we've ever had, was it?
09:16Jim's still a bit upset.
09:18There's much more to it than that.
09:20Jim and I have always been able to talk things out before.
09:23Now we have this ghastly wall of resentment between us.
09:26Give it time.
09:27I can't see him changing.
09:29And the tension, it's affecting the whole family.
09:31Oh, perhaps I should take Gail's advice about buying a unit and move into the thing.
09:36Helen.
09:37What else can I do?
09:38Well, you left once before and we all missed you dreadfully.
09:41This is your home.
09:42Has Jim told you that lately?
09:44I doubt it.
09:45I'm sorry Beverly.
09:46I just don't have the strength to cope with him.
09:48It seems that the only alternative is to move out.
09:58Hi Henry, Bronwyn.
09:59Hi.
10:00Hi.
10:01Didn't expect to see you.
10:02I just came to pick up my mail.
10:04Oh, it's up on the telly.
10:05Oh, great.
10:06Paul hasn't exactly been on top of the world lately.
10:09Uh-huh.
10:10Fact is, he's pretty much down in the dumps.
10:12Well, there's not much I can do about that, is it?
10:14Well, you could try.
10:15I have, Bronwyn, but Paul continually puts his business interest before our marriage.
10:20He wasn't thinking business when he followed you to America.
10:22That's got to mean something.
10:24Yeah, that meant a lot.
10:25But there's still got a long way to go before we've worked things out.
10:28Can't do that if you're not talking.
10:29Yes, I know, but...
10:30Do you still love Paul?
10:31Yes.
10:32Listen, what is this?
10:34Well, we're just trying to point out a few simple facts.
10:37Well, the facts are my business, okay?
10:39Now, I'm just going upstairs to get a few seconds later.
10:40Back in a check.
10:41What are you on about?
10:46How do you reckon we'd go playing Cupid?
10:48You and me?
10:49Yeah.
10:50I think I might put the garbos out.
10:52Well, it's not garbage night.
10:54Ah, but it's a full moon.
11:05See Des?
11:06Yep.
11:07How was he?
11:08Good.
11:11Why don't you boys go and listen to some tapes and...
11:16What tapes?
11:17The first one we find.
11:19Come on, mate.
11:24That was very obliging of them.
11:27I wanted to talk to you about Helen.
11:29I never would have guessed.
11:30Marisha.
11:31In a room, relaxing.
11:32She still hasn't got over that argument you had.
11:34Well, it's all over and done with as far as I'm concerned,
11:36and if you don't mind, I'd rather not discuss it any further.
11:39Jim, you're driving her out of the house.
11:42Oh, darling, I think you're exaggerating.
11:44She's going to move into a unit.
11:45Helen feels that all the tension is hurting the family,
11:48and it's her fault.
11:49She feels she has to move out.
11:51Well, I never meant her to.
11:53I'm sure you didn't.
11:55The point is, what are we going to do now?
12:04What took you so long?
12:05What?
12:06Putting the garbage out for tomorrow night's collection.
12:09Oh, I just had a few little jobs I had to take care of.
12:11Where's Gail?
12:12She's behind you.
12:13Oh, I'll give a bloke a heart attack, why don't you?
12:16Sorry.
12:17Did you get everything?
12:18Yeah, I think so.
12:19Where are you off to now?
12:20Well, I'm going back to the hotel.
12:22I'm going to have a long hot bath and an early night, I think.
12:25Have you eaten yet?
12:27I'll just get something from room service.
12:29Look, why don't you stay and have dinner with us?
12:31Yeah, we'd love to have you.
12:32There's plenty to go around.
12:34It's very kind of you, but I'm really pretty tired, so I'll see you later.
12:38Thanks for getting my mail.
12:39It's okay.
12:40Cheerio.
12:41Bye.
12:43Pity she wouldn't stay.
12:45Paul will be home soon.
12:47We could have relaxed with each other for a change.
12:49Who knows where it might have led.
12:52What are you grinning about, Henry Ramsey?
12:55I am one step ahead of you, Bronwyn Davies.
12:59A vital piece of the ignition system on Gail's car.
13:02Without it, let's just say she might be dining with us after all.
13:08Sounds like I better set an extra place, doesn't it?
13:11You've got to admit it, I am a genius.
13:13You are a genius.
13:24I'll get it.
13:29Yes?
13:30Good evening.
13:31Does Helen Daniels live here?
13:32She does.
13:33My name's Hargraves.
13:34I have a letter for her concerning the estate of Elizabeth Robinson that arrived this morning
13:37from Hong Kong.
13:38Helen!
13:39Oh, thanks for delivering it personally.
13:41I thought it might be urgent.
13:42Then make sure Mrs. Daniels gets it.
13:44I will.
13:46Good night.
13:47Do you want me?
13:48The letter.
13:51The letter that Bess left with the solicitors in Hong Kong.
13:54Oh.
13:55Well, open it.
13:56Yes, of course.
13:57She's coming in.
13:58Right, don't panic.
13:59And act natural.
14:00Remember, don't mention anything about Paul.
14:01No, I won't.
14:02Right.
14:03I'm angry.
14:04What?
14:05Oh.
14:06I suppose you heard all that racket out in the street.
14:07Yes, we did sort of wonder what was going on.
14:08Hell, I don't know why it won't start.
14:09It's never given me any trouble before.
14:10I might get data ring, see if I can come and fix it.
14:11Gail, it's late.
14:12You don't want to drag Rob out.
14:13Why don't you take up our offer for dinner and worry about the car later?
14:16Well, I must say I'm tempted.
14:17I'll even drive you back to the hotel in, Bertha.
14:18What more could you ask?
14:19What more could you ask?
14:20What more could you ask?
14:21What more could you ask?
14:22That'd be great, Henry.
14:23You've certainly gone into a lot of trouble with the table.
14:24Oh, you think so?
14:25You think so?
14:26Hmm.
14:27I feel like I'm intruding on a romantic dinner for two.
14:29Two.
14:30Nip.
14:31Oh, Paul.
14:32Look, we're just sitting down to dinner.
14:33Care to join us?
14:34Oh, Paul.
14:35Oh, Paul.
14:36Look, we're just sitting down to dinner.
14:37Care to join us?
14:38Oh, that's very nice.
14:39I don't know.
14:40I don't know.
14:41I don't know.
14:42I don't know.
14:43I don't know.
14:44I don't know.
14:45I don't know why it won't start.
14:46It's never given me any trouble before.
14:47I might get data ring, see if I can come and fix it.
14:48Oh, Paul.
14:49Look, we're just sitting down to dinner.
14:50Care to join us?
14:51Oh, that's very nice of you, Henry.
14:53Gail.
14:54Hi, Paul.
14:55Oh, I saw your car out front.
14:56Yeah, it's broken down.
14:58Ah.
14:59Bit of Adelaide.
15:00Look, sit down, you two.
15:01Bronnie, you grab the plates.
15:02I'll open the vino.
15:03Oh, my God.
15:05Henry, I forgot.
15:06What?
15:07We're supposed to be meeting Pete and Melanie at the waterhole.
15:09Tonight?
15:10Yes.
15:11Don't you remember?
15:12Gosh, now I do.
15:13Yes, weren't we supposed to be there at eight?
15:14Yes, and it's nearly nine.
15:15Do you think they'll have waited?
15:16Oh, they'd better.
15:17Sorry.
15:18Oh, it's just one of those things.
15:19You know, here, you'd better have this.
15:20Everything's cooked.
15:21You just have to serve up.
15:22And light the candle.
15:23Yes, don't forget the candle.
15:24See you later.
15:25Bon appetit.
15:26Come on.
15:27See ya.
15:28They don't want us to forget to light the candle.
15:32No.
15:33Oh, Jim, this page is for you.
15:34Jim, leaving the money to Helen was the most difficult decision I've ever had to make in
15:47my life.
15:48But I know that giving you money now won't make up for the love I withheld when you were
15:53a child.
15:54Despite my neglect, or possibly because of it, you've become a successful man, both in business
15:59and your personal life.
16:01You don't need my money.
16:03But Helen has sacrificed much in taking care of you and your family.
16:08That's why I left it to her.
16:10It's strange that through my writing I could evoke anger or laughter or tears in my readers,
16:16but when it came to expressing my love for you, I mostly failed.
16:21I hope someday you'll forgive me.
16:34I know.
16:35Oh, Helen, an apology.
16:36I think they can wait till later.
16:38Oh, I'd like to do it now.
16:47Oh, dear.
16:48Why can't they make movies like that anymore?
16:50Probably because nobody's going to see them, Harold.
16:52Well, Madame Max, that's a wonderful picture.
16:55Lana Turner, eh?
16:56Yeah, whatever happened to her?
16:58No, I don't want to know.
16:59I just want to remember her as she was, a star.
17:03All quiet on the Western Front.
17:05Pardon?
17:06Skye.
17:07She's asleep.
17:08Safe and sound, out of harm's way.
17:10Happy?
17:11There's no need to take that tone.
17:13The matter is only asking.
17:14And I might remind you that you're living in her house.
17:16Oh, her house.
17:17Well, while you are here, I expect you to be reasonable and not jump down our throats just because we show genuine concern for Skye's welfare.
17:26Fair enough.
17:27Fair enough.
17:28Sorry.
17:32Accepted.
17:33A cup of tea, then?
17:36Oh, what's the matter?
17:38Oh, I still need a piece of glass.
17:40Oh, no, I'm sorry.
17:41I thought I got it all.
17:43How bad is it?
17:44No, it's okay.
17:45It didn't go in that far.
17:46I'll just wash under the tap.
17:47Yeah, Kelly, you do realise that Skye could...
17:49Right.
17:50You've made your point.
17:52From now on, whenever Skye's running around, I'll put a pair of shoes on her.
17:56Excuse me.
17:57Here you go.
17:58Oops.
17:59To good company and fine wine.
18:00Here, here.
18:01Shall we adjourn to the living room?
18:03Yeah.
18:04Sounds like a good idea to me.
18:05Okay.
18:06I'll have some coffee in a minute.
18:07No, I wouldn't mind letting Mr. Champagne settle a bit first.
18:09Well, I was hoping you'd say that.
18:10I'm a bit lazy.
18:11Either that or a woozy from the champagne.
18:12Yeah, but I'm not.
18:13I'm not.
18:14I'm not.
18:15I'm not.
18:16I'm not.
18:17I'm not.
18:18I'm not.
18:19I'm not.
18:20I'm not.
18:21I'm not.
18:22I'm not.
18:23I'm not.
18:24I'm not.
18:25I'm not.
18:26Either that or a woozy from the champagne.
18:27Yeah, but what a way to go.
18:29I'll drink to that too.
18:30Hang on.
18:31What?
18:32This.
18:33I wonder what this is.
18:34Isn't that a, isn't that a rota?
18:36Where'd that come from?
18:37From a distributor, as in a motor car.
18:39Yeah.
18:40And what does it do?
18:41Well, doesn't it distribute the spark, the spark plugs?
18:43Mm.
18:44And what happens if you take that off?
18:46It won't start.
18:47Mm.
18:48I'm beginning to smell a rat.
18:50Mm.
18:51Dear Henry, perhaps?
18:52At a rough guess.
18:53Mm.
18:54Well, it all comes to me now.
18:56Romantic dinner set for two.
18:58Henry and Bronwyn suddenly remembering a previous engagement.
19:02Does that sound like a set up to you?
19:03It sounds like a set up.
19:04Yes.
19:05I think that we're going to have to talk to them very, very severely.
19:08Absolutely.
19:09On the other hand, we could thank them for allowing us to spend some time together.
19:17We have needed it.
19:19Yeah, we have.
19:21You stay with me tonight?
19:36Yeah, I'd like to.
19:38Okay.
19:42It's been a long time since we've done this.

19:45Are you up the stairs?
