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.
00:46You're going to fire me?
00:49Can you give me one good reason not to?
00:51Well, it wouldn't have happened if you weren't so attractive.
00:54Oh, very good.
00:55Look, I'm here with a knockout lady and I guess I lost concentration, that's all.
00:59And is that worth sacking me? I mean, I'll probably lose my job at the agency and...
01:04This kind of behavior is totally unacceptable here or in any other office.
01:08It hasn't happened before and it won't happen again, I mean it.
01:11And you want me to help you with the workload here, don't you?
01:15All right. But you live up to your references and keep it strictly business from now on and I won't mention it to Paul.
01:25Thanks. Total self-control. I promise. Mind you, it won't be easy.
01:30Look, I'm sorry. I promise. No problem.
01:35Yeah, well, let's finish these memos and we'll call it quits. I've got a birthday party to go to.
01:40Look, I meant it when I said thanks.
01:43What I did was pretty stupid. I just think Paul's a very lucky man.
01:47Yeah, all right. Let's just get on with it, shall we?
01:51Oh, sorry, Gail's running a bit late, but work had to be done.
01:56Oh, that's charming, isn't it, Jim? Little lady's slaving over the books and he's here having a good time.
02:01Sounds fair enough to me.
02:03Watch it.
02:04Now, if I told her to forget her responsibilities and run along to the party, I would have been a patronizing chauvinist, wouldn't I?
02:09Now, you professional ladies can't have it both ways.
02:12Katie, all right?
02:13It's all curled up. Does everyone else feel okay? Shouldn't we?
02:19Well, she might have something about the salad making her feel funny.
02:22Oh, I think she's just unhappy with you for making her eat what's good for her.
02:26Yeah, yeah, I don't know if these health food tactics are wise ground.
02:29I mean, look at me, I'm in business.
02:30Scott's a journalist, Lucy and Julie are doing fine and we all grew up on fish and chips, didn't we?
02:35You most certainly did not.
02:37Have you finished, Nick?
02:38You bet.
02:39It's only one thing worse than doing homework, that's waking up in the morning knowing you have to finish it.
02:42Okay, if I go to Sharon's?
02:44You want to pass on Hillary's good news?
02:45Yeah, she's going to be thrilled.
02:47Yes, with Hillary coming home, you'll have the best chaperone in the business.
02:50Believe it.
02:51Hope it stays a good birthday.
02:53Oh, all the way till midnight. Thanks, Nick.
02:55Catch you later.
02:56See you later.
02:57Don't be too late.
02:58Bye.
02:59I am so glad that Gail has talked some sense into you.
03:02Trying to run that business shorthanded was false economy.
03:05Okay, okay, I plead guilty.
03:07And when I saw our new temp secretary was a guy, I really had to do some fast adjusting, I tell you.
03:11But the fact is, Kevin's brilliant.
03:13In fact, we're hoping that he's going to stay on with us permanently.
03:18Gail picked that, so it's okay if I hand it over.
03:22Happy birthday, Nick.
03:23Oh, Paul.
03:24Mwah.
03:27I know we shouldn't have, but we did.
03:29Beautiful.
03:31Oh, you must be psychic, mate.
03:33They go perfectly with the bracelet that Helen and I bought.
03:35Show them, darling.
03:36Oh, not now, Jim.
03:37Why not?
03:38Oh, come on, you two.
03:40You're not parading Beverly like some shop window dummy just to show off your playboy presents.
03:45I bet you found a way to make yours tax deductible.
03:48Oh, you are such a cynic.
03:50No, no, no.
03:51Jim, why don't you open the bottle of wine that Paul waters?
03:53Sure.
03:54Yeah, coming right up.
03:56You are joking.
03:57I wish I was.
03:58Hillary's bad enough, but what's she bringing back with her?
03:59I don't...
04:00Sharon, just ask yourself what type of guy would go for Hillary.
04:01Scary, isn't it?
04:02If he's keen on her, he's probably very strange and will probably think he can tell me how to
04:03run my life.
04:04Well, if he's so much...
04:05Use your brain, Sharon.
04:06Just clean the joint up, smile, and don't give them an excuse to pick on you.
04:09Smile?
04:10I don't feel much like smiling.
04:11You're right.
04:12I've got to get this joint cleaned up.
04:13Yeah.
04:14The food we used for chas-chas, I...
04:15Well, what about it?
04:16I didn't replace it.
04:17Oh, a bright one.
04:18Well, how can I?
04:19I'm broke.
04:20I'm broke.
04:21I'm broke.
04:22I'm broke.
04:23I'm broke.
04:24I'm broke.
04:26I'm broke.
04:27I'm broke.
04:29I'm broke.
04:30I'm broke.
04:31I'm broke.
04:32I'm broke.
04:33I'm broke.
04:34I'm broke.
04:35I'm broke.
04:36I'm broke.
04:37I'm broke.
04:38Can I?
04:39I'm broke.
04:40If Hilary finds out I use this place as a joint, she'll...
04:42Oh, alright.
04:43Just be cool.
04:44I think I can borrow enough stuff from the Robinson house to cover for you.
04:47Oh, you're wonderful.
04:48That's true.
04:49That's only half the problem.
04:51Hilary's gonna freak when she finds out I lost my job at the coffee shop.
04:53I'm gonna be very popular.
04:55Thank you very much, Bronnie.
04:56You can't go on blaming Bronwyn.
04:58You wanna bet?
04:59She double-crossed me, Nick, and I'm gonna get my own back as soon as I can figure out a way about...
05:03Well, worry about it later.
05:05Just concentrate on getting this place fixed up before Hilary and Matthew arrive.
05:09Matthew?
05:10He'll either be some hen-pecked wimp or a boring middle-aged jerk.
05:16L follows the blink of a truck.
05:21Eight letters.
05:22Oh, that could be...
05:23No, don't tell me.
05:24I thought you asked.
05:25Oh.
05:26Bronwyn, there are things.
05:29Well, if I run a load through tonight, I can hang them out in the morning.
05:32Do you just have to do our laundry?
05:33I don't mind.
05:34I've got to do something to earn my key.
05:35Hmm?
05:36Harold, these clues just don't make sense.
05:41It's a cryptic crossword, Henry.
05:42I wouldn't expect you to understand.
05:44Your idea of intellectual stimulation is connecting the dots.
05:47Henry, why don't you leave Harold alone and give some thought as to how you're gonna get that bracelet back?
05:52Got it all planned.
05:53I'm busking tomorrow.
05:54Oh, that'll raise $150 in no time.
05:57And I'm doing some landscaping on Sunday down at Lasseter's.
06:00That should help.
06:01Yeah, you're on very shaky ground here, you know.
06:04Both financially and ethically.
06:06Bronwyn, will you tell the grand poo bar to get off my back?
06:08Sorry, Henry.
06:09It was dumb to pull on the bracelet.
06:11Is there anything else that needs doing?
06:12No, thank you, love.
06:13Nice to know there's somebody around here with a sense of responsibility, unlike my oldest.
06:17Look, dudes.
06:19I did the right thing.
06:20I put the advert in the paper.
06:21What more do you want?
06:22To know what you intend doing when somebody turns up on the doorstep on Monday with their hand out.
06:27I will have redeemed the bracelet by then.
06:28Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.
06:29You still got faith in me.
06:31The rest of you haven't.
06:32I think you could at least give some thought to the poor person who lost it.
06:34She must be dreadfully upset.
06:41Well done.
06:42Oh, come in.
06:43Beautiful.
06:44Sorry I'm late.
06:46Happy birthday.
06:48Hey, listen.
06:49I'll give you a drink, darling.
06:50Better late than never.
06:51I was starting to get worried, though.
06:53What for?
06:54Well, Paul told us all about the new secretary.
06:56And you know the old story.
06:57That the secretary's improved, the boss starts working late.
07:01I thought Beverly would have improved your jokes by now.
07:04Sorry, can't work miracles.
07:06Did Paul remember to give you your present?
07:07Oh, she's going to be sending me memos next.
07:09The earrings are stunning.
07:11You don't have to be polite.
07:12They're from the gift shop so you can exchange them.
07:14No, they're perfect, really.
07:15Yeah, and they match the bracelet that Helen and I wore.
07:17Show them, darling.
07:18Oh, well, I think we should wait until Gail has something to eat.
07:20You must be starving.
07:21No, I'm fine, really.
07:22See?
07:23I don't know what's wrong with you.
07:24I thought you'd be breaking your neck to show off the present.
07:27Well, I would be, Jim.
07:29But I can't.
07:30I lost the bracelet yesterday.
07:32What?
07:34And you say this happened yesterday, and here I am sitting here like a fool's...
07:37Well, I was hoping that I could get it back.
07:38That someone would hand it in.
07:39I knew how disappointed you'd be.
07:41Excuse us.
07:42I ought to talk about this in private.
07:44Where did you lose it?
07:49I don't know.
07:51You must have some idea.
07:53Jim, the bracelet was on my wrist in the morning.
07:55When I got home, it was gone.
07:57I searched the house, the car, the surgery, everywhere I could think of.
08:00I'm so sorry.
08:01That bracelet meant the world to me.
08:06Not because it was expensive, but because it came from you and Helen.
08:11I knew you'd be hurt and upset, and I wanted to spare you that.
08:15Oh, I've made a dreadful mess of this.
08:18I'm so sorry.
08:19Well, Sam, the last thing I wanted to do was ruin your birthday.
08:24Oh, I seem to have done a pretty good job of that myself.
08:31Well, of course we contacted the police.
08:33They weren't very encouraging.
08:35The odds that anyone would hand in anything as expensive as that bracelet are pretty slight.
08:41Well, what about the lost and found column in the local paper?
08:43I mean, that's worth a try.
08:44There's still some honest people left in the world.
08:46Yeah.
08:47Beverly, what did the bracelet look like?
08:49Well, 18-karat gold with a locket and a small diamond.
08:52Jim had it initialed for me.
08:54Oh, that's funny.
08:56Because only this morning I saw one just like that.
09:03Up, up.
09:05More, more, more.
09:06You've got to test it.
09:07Just keep going.
09:08You're not planning on a practice session, I hope?
09:11No, Harold.
09:12Good.
09:16Oh, L follows the blink of a truck.
09:20Truck.
09:21That's the key.
09:22So it's semi-trailer, semi-colon, colon, and blink.
09:31That's obviously an I.
09:32So it's colon, I, L. Colonial.
09:37Harold, don't forget you've got to open the shop early tomorrow.
09:42No, no, thank you.
09:44I'll sleep more soundly now that I've worked out that clue.
09:47Oh, and, Henry, you might get a bit of return on your busking
09:51if your repertoire is a little friendlier on the ear.
09:55And what do you suggest, big guy?
09:57Oh, yeah.
09:59Rodgers and Hammerstein, my fair lady, a little of Kamal.
10:04Say goodnight, Harold.
10:05What are you trying to help the boy?
10:08With help like his, we'll never raise the money.
10:12Don't worry, I'll give you a hand tomorrow.
10:14Oh, great.
10:15But no belly dancing.
10:16Oh, Bron.
10:17Oh, Bron.
10:20Hi.
10:21Hi.
10:22Sorry to call so late, Bronwyn, but it is an emergency.
10:24G'day.
10:25What's the problem?
10:26Well, Gail said she saw Bronwyn with a bracelet this morning.
10:30It sounds like one I lost.
10:32Yeah.
10:33Gold with a diamond?
10:35B for Beverly.
10:36Oh, thank heavens.
10:37Where on earth did you...
10:39Why, we...
10:40I found it among the coins in my guitar case.
10:42I didn't know it was yours.
10:43No, we're just glad you got it.
10:45Well, I don't have it exactly.
10:47I don't understand.
10:50I pawned it to cover my car rego.
10:52Well, it was an emergency.
10:53Look, I'll get it back for you first thing Monday morning,
10:54as soon as the pawn shop's open.
10:56Oh, you better.
10:57Yes.
10:58Monday.
10:59No excuses.
11:00Yes, Jim.
11:05Hoping to get that cash together.
11:07Mr Robbo looked ready to thump you.
11:09Oh, thanks, Bronwyn.
11:10You're most comforting.
11:14See, Henry really pawned it.
11:15Looks radical, I reckon.
11:17Not one of his brighter ideas, I must say.
11:19At least we know where it is,
11:21and he's under strict instructions to have it back by Monday.
11:23You were fairly harsh with him.
11:25Well, I suggest that you have a safety chain put on it
11:27to avoid further mishaps.
11:28Well, I'll see to that.
11:29And, darling, I was thinking of having a game of golf this afternoon.
11:31Would you care to join me?
11:32Oh, I can't.
11:33I'm on standby.
11:34Ross Kinney's baby's due.
11:35Oh.
11:36Well, I suppose I can pick up a match at the club.
11:38Morning, all.
11:39Can I come in?
11:40Oh, good morning, Charlotte.
11:41Good morning.
11:42You say one word, Nick Page.
11:44You'll never hold a paintbrush again.
11:46Oh, you look great, Charlotte.
11:47This sudden display of conservatism wouldn't have anything to do with Hillary coming back,
11:52would it?
11:53Is it that obvious?
11:54I'm afraid so.
11:55Mind you, it should impress Hillary.
11:57Does anyone know about this guy she's bringing back with her?
11:59What it's like?
12:00We're all as much in the dark as you are.
12:02He's going to be king creep of the universe.
12:03I just know it.
12:04Matthew will probably turn out to be a perfectly decent bloke.
12:07And I'm very pleased that Hillary's got some romance in her life.
12:09I mean, it should take the abrasive edge off her personality.
12:12I'd like to meet the guy who could do that.
12:14Yeah, so would I.
12:15In fact, I'm going to be there when they arrive this afternoon.
12:19Thought you were playing golf?
12:21That was before I remembered my family responsibilities.
12:23Oh, that's a likely story.
12:25You just want a sticky beak.
12:27Well, don't tell me you won't be there to have a look-see.
12:29Oh, I won't.
12:30I think they should be left to settle in in peace.
12:33You don't need me, do you, Jim?
12:35Oh, yes, I do, darling, if you could spare the time.
12:37I mean, we are the Welcoming Committee.
12:39I'm quite looking forward to this.
12:41You can file these and start on occasion reports.
12:46I won't need them until Tuesday.
12:47Right.
12:48Ah, that's right where you said they'd be.
12:50You sound surprised.
12:51Well, it's just nothing has been for weeks,
12:53so it's nice to find the office in order again.
12:55Well, that's my job.
12:56Well, coming in on Saturday certainly shows dedication, doesn't it, Gail?
12:59He's being paid overtime.
13:02But we appreciate it.
13:04You want me to be over the hotel if you need me.
13:07It won't be long.
13:08Okay.
13:10Look, Gail, can I apologise again about last night?
13:14It's forgotten.
13:16I don't want there to be any tension in our working relationship.
13:19And one of the staff told me that you and Paul are trying to start a family at the IVF program and so on.
13:23That is nobody's business but ours.
13:25Look, I know, but I can imagine the pressure the guys are making that kind of decision,
13:28and I regret contributing to it.
13:30Truly.
13:32Okay.
13:33Those grass look fascinating.
13:34But just tell me if I'm treading on confidential ground.
13:37No, you're not, but Paul hasn't seen them yet.
13:40A hotel can't afford an off season, so I'm trying to identify ours and find out why and counter it with special rates and target guests.
13:47That's first-rate thinking.
13:49You two are people I really admire.
13:51Work back late weekends to achieve your goal.
13:54Yeah, but my doctor strongly objects.
13:56She wishes I wasn't so tired and so would I.
13:58Well, look, why don't you take your advice and let me finish it up?
14:00I mean, it's just a matter of typing your conclusion and you can go home and get some rest.
14:04No, it's all right.
14:05I can do that.
14:06Ma'am, look, come on.
14:07Go home and get some rest and I'll explain to Paul.
14:10All right.
14:11I think I might.
14:12Thanks.
14:34I think you could shock him which one is too busy.
14:44How are you?
14:46Okay, go home.
14:48You're my favorite band!
14:52Kiss you, making fun!
14:59Bye!
15:03I'll get it.
15:08Hi, you're early.
15:10Well, we thought we ought to come across and make sure you've got everything under control.
15:12Oh, Sharon, the house looks nice.
15:14Oh, put these in Hillary's room.
15:16I made up the spare room for Matthew, like she said.
15:18But who does she think she's kidding, huh?
15:20Well, let's not jump to conclusions.
15:22We're dealing with two mature people here who may simply be good friends at this stage.
15:26I don't want to see Hillary embarrassed.
15:27You know, on the one hand, Sharon hopes it's a full-on romance,
15:30because then they're less likely to annoy her.
15:32But on the other hand, she's done anything except hire a wheelchair.
15:35I told her Matthew can't be that old.
15:37Uh-oh.
15:38Your expectant mother.
15:40Could be. I'd better phone from the house.
15:41Say welcome back to Hillary for me.
15:43Yep.
15:46So, the countdown begins.
15:52Oh, Charlene was ecstatic.
15:54Yes, well, it's just what they need to be together again.
15:56Yeah, well, Scott's already extended his day by a few days.
15:58Ah, good.
15:59Yes, well, I hope he doesn't miss out on any work at the Aronsboro News.
16:03That job is string. It sounds very tentative.
16:05Well, there are some things more important than money, Harold.
16:08Yeah.
16:08Oh, could I have one of your chocolate cakes, please?
16:10Certainly.
16:11Not doing your own baking?
16:12No surprise visitors.
16:14Oh.
16:14Well, Hillary's coming back with a guest.
16:18A man.
16:19Will wonders never cease?
16:21Don't you start.
16:22Jim's already organized a reception committee to check him out.
16:25Ah, and of course, you're not even the tiniest but curious, aren't you?
16:28Well, I made a bit of a deal about not being curious.
16:30Ah, and now I've left myself without an excuse to meet him.
16:34Hence the cake.
16:35This is dreadful, isn't it?
16:36Oh, I know.
16:38Nothing wrong with a bit of a healthy curiosity.
16:40I wish Henry had shown some over the ownership of that bracelet.
16:43Could have saved himself a lot of trouble.
16:45Well, Jim's calmed down somewhat, but I do hope Henry will return it by Monday.
16:49Oh, if he can raise the money, by the way.
16:50He will, I am sure.
16:52As well, I'd better get going.
16:53I don't want to miss out on a new visitor.
16:55I want a full report now.
16:56You're as bad as I am.
16:57Bye.
16:58Bye-bye.
16:59You very nearly put Henry in there, and you realise that, don't you?
17:05He did a very foolish thing, mate.
17:06I don't see any reason to protect him.
17:07He made a mistake, and he knows, and he's trying to correct it.
17:10That does not excuse the fact he took that bracelet.
17:12Harold, please.
17:14I mean, you know what Henry's like.
17:15With all his faults, there isn't a malicious bone in his body.
17:18Well, yes.
17:19Yeah, well, Harold.
17:21Couldn't you just try to be helpful instead of criticising all the time?
17:24Oh, Kevin.
17:28I need to dictate a couple of memos.
17:30Can you put that aside for the moment?
17:31Sure.
17:31It's just a couple of suggestions I thought I'd pass on.
17:34Yeah, like what?
17:36Well, forward planning to eliminate the off-season,
17:40targeting new guests,
17:42and working out when special rates would apply.
17:45Here.
17:45It's very impressive.
17:48It's a blind spot we should have seen ourselves.
17:50Oh, all the data was here.
17:52You know, I sense this kind of contribution from you, Kevin.
17:54How do you feel about staying on with us permanently?
17:56When it's your secretary?
17:58Until Jane returns, yeah.
18:00After that, I think this type of creative thinking
18:02would be wasted on typing and filing.
18:04How does corporate planning sound to you?
18:07Very tempting.
18:08Yeah.
18:08You think about it.
18:09If you're interested, we'll talk Saturday later.
18:10Oh, don't tell me.
18:15I don't want to know.
18:17$7.85.
18:18I told you not to tell me.
18:20What are you going to do?
18:22I don't know.
18:23I saw you counting on the gardening around this joint,
18:25taking up some of the slack.
18:27Poor city give you overtime with a waterhole to make up for him.
18:30Me too, like Jim Lord murdered me by then.
18:33Oh, just what I need.
18:35Well, how did the busking go?
18:37I'm not wonderful.
18:39He's going to say,
18:39Oh, I told you so.
18:43Oh, I could tell you about a job
18:45that's just been put on the notice board.
18:47Mr. Walker wants a sprinkler system installed in a hurry.
18:51Murray Walker?
18:52The same.
18:54Why, he's a good player.
18:55I know him from the waterhole.
18:56He knows me too.
18:57Oh, it'll be a siege.
18:58Harold!
18:59Ha!
19:00You're a lifesaver.
19:01You'd better come and get the phone number.
19:02Right.
19:03Oh, yes.
19:04Henry, um,
19:05I told you so.
19:09I'll get it.
19:21I believe we were discussing sticky beaks.
19:23Well, I decided I couldn't leave Hillary to your tender mercies.
19:27Did anyone think to put the kettle on?
19:28Good idea.
19:29Taxi pulling up.
19:30Oh, no.
19:31Go out and help him with your luggage, Nick.
19:32All right.
19:33Sharon, I don't want to hear you and Nick sniggering.
19:36This is Hillary's friend,
19:37and he's to be treated with respect.
19:38No problems.
19:39Welcome back.
19:44Have a good flight?
19:45Yes, fine.
19:46Well, I must say,
19:47I wasn't expecting a welcoming committee.
19:49You're not usually as thoughtful as this.
19:51We were looking forward to seeing you, Hillary,
19:53and your guest.
19:55Yes, yes.
19:57Where is he, Nick?
19:57Come in.
19:58Come in.
19:58Everyone,
20:05this is Matthew.
20:07Matthew.
20:10Neighbors.
20:12Everybody needs good neighbors.
20:16Just a friendly wave each morning.
20:20Helps to make a better day.
20:26Neighbors.
20:27Neighbors.
20:28Need to get to know each other.
20:32Next door or so.
20:35A footstep away.
20:42Neighbors.
20:44Everybody needs good neighbors.
20:48With a little understanding.
20:52You can find the perfect plan.
20:55Neighbors should be there for one another.
21:03That's when good neighbors become new friends.
21:12Where am I?
21:14Lionbeth Though I am now.
21:20Can I see you, Joe?
21:22No.
