00:00Neighbours
00:03Everybody needs good neighbours
00:07With a little understanding
00:11You can find the perfect plan
00:17Neighbours
00:20Should be there for one another
00:24That's when good neighbours become friends
00:38Well, Nell Mangle saw what she saw in the tea leaves
00:41And then I asked Madge if it was true
00:45If what were true?
00:48That you were uncontrollable with women
00:54And?
00:57She said it was
01:02You
01:03Harold
01:04Harold, it was a joke
01:06I didn't expect Eileen to believe it, did I?
01:09I mean, anyway, it's absurd
01:10Yoo-hoo, Casanova
01:12Oh
01:13Even if it were a joke, Madge
01:16It was one in very poor taste
01:18And despite what you may have thought
01:20A lot of people have taken it very seriously
01:22I have been asked to leave the church choir
01:25Because the female choristers were terrified of me
01:29Of me!
01:31A man who has tried to run his whole life
01:34I have never been disappointed in anyone
01:37Than I am of you right now, Madge
01:40I...
01:41I intended to run the culprit to the ground
01:44Yes
01:46You promised you wouldn't say anything
01:52He was so angry
01:55Yes, I'll have to talk to him later when he's calmed down
01:57If he ever does
01:59Come in, come in
02:04Oh Lucy, love your hairstyle
02:07It was a welcome home gift from Scott
02:09Got good taste, hasn't he?
02:10Terrific, I must get one for myself
02:12Did he make you look different?
02:14Just see the look on Dez's face
02:16I saw his car parked outside earlier
02:18Yes, he dropped in for lunch
02:19Come through, I'll make us a cuppa
02:20Can I see Jamie?
02:21Oh, he must have grown heat
02:22He's asleep in the nursery
02:24Just make sure you don't wake him
02:25My wig might give him a fright
02:27He's used to just about anything in this house
02:29She's certainly bounced back
02:33Yes
02:34But, um, she wasn't too happy
02:36When he found out that Jim had to go to America
02:38He told Dez about the trouble over there
02:40I hope he can sort it out
02:41Yes, so do I
02:42Those American damages suits
02:44Can run into hundreds and thousands of dollars
02:46Jim could literally lose everything
02:47Oh, Helen, that's terrible
02:49Oh, let's hope it won't come to that
02:51It can be a rough old world, can't it?
02:54Problems?
02:56Just one
02:58My father
03:00Oh, has he been in touch?
03:02According to my mother, he's dying
03:05Oh, Daphne
03:07Thank you
03:08I didn't know whether to believe her at first
03:10I thought it might be some lying that he'd fed her
03:12So as I'd feel sorry for him when I found out
03:14Why would he do that?
03:16To get access to Jamie
03:18You know how desperately he wanted our baby to be a boy
03:21Surely he... surely he wouldn't lie about a thing like that
03:27You don't know my father
03:29And come to think of it, neither do I
03:33Maybe I'm making him out to be a bigger monster than he really is
03:36Oh, I doubt if anyone would lie about being terminally ill
03:39No, you're probably right
03:41I just don't know how I feel, Helen
03:45I've never been close to him
03:46Is there still a chance to fix that before it's too late?
03:50I don't know
03:52He's never loved me so it wouldn't matter to him anyway
03:55You felt much the same way about your mother, didn't you?
03:58But then you were able to establish a good relationship with her before she left
04:01Yes, but she's changed, Dad hasn't
04:04And knowing that you're dying can alter a person
04:08Don't you think you should at least find out?
04:14Are you sure you wouldn't like dessert?
04:16It's apple crumble, I made it myself
04:17No thanks, I'm in a bit of a hurry
04:19Oh, that's the problem with people today
04:21Rush, rush, rush
04:22Time to sit and relax
04:24Have the dessert, it'll do you good
04:25I'll just take the bill, thanks Mrs Clark
04:30Mel! Mel!
04:33I don't think it's a good idea that you're here
04:35Why? What's happened?
04:37He knows everything
04:39You didn't mention me?
04:41Well, I had no choice, I had to explain what I'd done
04:44Typical, trying to worm your way out
04:47I was not, I had to explain how the whole thing started
04:49And like it or not, it started with you, Mel
04:56I do hope that you're not going to try to blame me
05:00For the unfortunate gossip that's been going around
05:03I never said anything about you to anyone
05:05You deny reading in your tea leaves that I was some sort of half man, half beast?
05:10That's what the tea leaves showed me, a satyr
05:13I can't be held responsible for what the tea leaves say
05:16Of course you can, you stupid woman
05:18The leaves may not lie, but I'm sure you're not beyond a little fabrication
05:23I warned you that this tea leaf nonsense would only cause trouble
05:28I just didn't realise that I'd be the one bearing the brunt of it
05:31Oh, Mr Bishop, I'm sure you're making far too much of the health
05:37And I'm sure you wouldn't take this attitude if it were your reputation in ruins
05:40You two and Madge Ramsay are like the witches from Macbeth
05:44You dabble and dabble and you've caused me nothing but trouble
05:47Your behaviour is unforgivable
05:52I find it impossible to have anything to do with all three of you
05:56And once our rush is over, Eileen, you may look after the shop from now
06:02I won't be coming back
06:03And may I suggest, Mrs Mangle, that you look for a new boarder
06:07I'm moving out this afternoon
06:10But surely, Mr Bishop, we can work something out without you doing something drastic
06:15I've said all I'm going to say
06:17Good afternoon
06:23Why didn't you keep your big mouth shut?
06:29It's like the one Ruth gave Lucy
06:32My father gave it to me when I was very little
06:36I think I can remember the actual moment, but I'm not sure
06:39Daphne, what do you think you remember?
06:45Being tucked up all warm and cosy in bed
06:48The door opened and Dad came in
06:51Gave me a hug and a kiss
06:54And he put this on my bedside table and opened the lid
06:59I'd never seen anything like it before
07:02I watched that ballerina until I fell asleep
07:08But of course, it mightn't have happened that way at all
07:11Maybe that's the way I wished it had
07:12But you do recall your father hugging and kissing you goodnight?
07:16I think so
07:18Then there must have been a time when he loved you
07:20Perhaps before the accident
07:22What accident?
07:26I only found out about it recently when my mother told me
07:29Dad desperately wanted a son
07:32And Mum was pregnant
07:36Apparently one day I ran away from her in a park
07:40And she chased me
07:42And she slipped over
07:44The baby was born prematurely, it was a boy
07:49And he died
07:51Dad's always held me responsible for his death
07:55It doesn't make sense to blame a child for that
07:59Whether it makes sense or not, he did
08:01Yes
08:03Well I know of women who've
08:06Died in childbirth and
08:09The husband has resented the baby
08:12I suppose it's the same sort of thing
08:14I've always been grateful that
08:17Jim has felt nothing but love for Lucy after Anne died
08:22Lucy's a very lucky little girl to have a father who loves her that much
08:27Yes
08:30Must be the day for visitors
08:39Harold! Is something wrong at the shop?
08:42Oh no, no, I've left Eileen in charge
08:44May I talk to you for a moment?
08:46Yes, of course, come you
08:48Helen's here
08:50Would you like me to leave?
08:52No, no, there's no need
08:54I'm afraid that I have to resign my position from the coffee shop
08:57Effective as of now
08:59But what's wrong?
09:01If it's Eileen, we can try again
09:03No, no, no, it's not just her
09:05You may not have heard but I've been very much maligned and betrayed by people that I've trusted most
09:11It's left me with no option but to leave Erinsborough
09:14Leave Erinsborough?
09:16Immediately
09:24Finished the service?
09:25Yep
09:26Give us a look at the form
09:28Got a bit of grease on it
09:29A bit? Looks like you've been doing some finger painting
09:32You'll have to make out a clean one
09:34I didn't think paperwork was part of my job
09:36Well, you're like me, hate the red tape
09:37Still, it's got to be done
09:42Hey Mike, keep any spare parts
09:45Temple Turner
09:48Rob Lewis
09:50You can knock me over with a crowbar
09:51I keep meeting you after all these years, eh?
09:58Robinson's repairs?
10:00Charlene, it's Harold Bishop here, is my car ready yet?
10:03Not yet, shouldn't be long, Harold
10:04Well, I want to pick it up as soon as possible, so tell Lewis I'll be around shortly, will you?
10:09Okay, bye
10:11Be back in a minute, mate
10:12Charlene, I'm gonna have a drink with my old mate Turbo
10:15You can't, Harold's come to pick up his cart
10:17It's not finished yet
10:18Well, you better get it finished quick-smart then
10:20He's gonna be here pretty soon
10:21I told Jim I'd get everything done to schedule
10:24Not I'd get it all done in half the time
10:26Now, I told Bishop it'll be five o'clock and five o'clock it'll be
10:29But he needs it sooner
10:31Too bad
10:32I'll be back in an hour or so
10:33Just tell him I got called away in an emergency
10:40Oh, Jane
10:42You're coming early?
10:44Paul said I could do some work here
10:45Oh?
10:46Too many distractions at the office, eh?
10:49Actually, Nan asked me to come home to see if I could talk you out of leaving
10:53Did she really? Well, she's got another thing coming
10:56Mr. Bishop, aren't you being a bit hasty?
10:58I mean, is there really any point in moving out?
11:01I'm doing more than just moving out, Jane
11:04I'm leaving Aronsborough altogether
11:07But why?
11:09I mean, I know some people have been doing some silly talking, but it'll soon die, Dad
11:12Because I cannot stay where people think that I'm some sort of maniac and who can just attack a woman at any moment
11:18Anyone with a bit of sense would know you wouldn't do that, Mr. Bishop
11:20I have a very high sense of personal honour, Jane
11:23It's very important for me to feel respected
11:27And for the people that I know here to entertain thoughts like that about me even for a second
11:33Well, then I just have to move on and start life afresh somewhere else
11:36Look, I know this is awful for you, but I don't think running away is the answer
11:39I am not running away
11:40I'm walking away with my head held high
11:44After all, discretion is the better part of balance, so they say
11:49Can you imagine how I felt when I found out who was the perpetrator of these vicious lies?
11:55That's why I can't stay and fight it out
11:58Well, I'll miss you
12:01And I know Nan will miss you too
12:03Yes, well she certainly will miss my board
12:08Not just that, well in a funny way you seem to be able to keep her in line
12:13She has more respect for you than anyone she knows
12:15Well, it's a pity you didn't stop it from starting this vicious scandal about me
12:20Mr. Bishop, she was frightened of losing you to Eileen Clark
12:22Not that Nan has any romantic interest, but
12:26Well, she loves having you here and she didn't want to lose you as her boarder
12:29She's become quite possessive about you
12:32Well, I'm afraid she has lost me
12:35I'm going to pick up my car from Lewis and I'll come back here for my baggage
12:38I want to be in Aubrey Wodonga by tonight if I can
12:43Have you had time to have lunch today?
12:46Eh?
12:48Uh, well no, no I haven't as a matter of fact
12:51Well then I don't think you should try and drive such a long distance on an empty stomach
12:55Will you let me make you something?
12:59Um, well alright, yes, if it won't take up too much time, that's...
13:04That's very kind of you, Jane
13:07I could ring Eileen Clark's neck
13:10Darling, why don't you go in and watch the television?
13:12Okay
13:14You see, when I heard what was going on, I warned her that it would lead to trouble
13:18Well of course the gossip always does, I mean when is she ever going to learn?
13:22Eileen wasn't the only one
13:27No, I was damn silly
13:29Harold will probably never speak to me, go
13:32Now she's leaving Erinsborough
13:33How do you know?
13:36Well I was at Daphne's when he came and gave notice from the coffee shop
13:39He made it quite clear that he's, uh, leaving as soon as possible
13:43Oh no
13:45I...
13:47I know our engagement didn't work out but I really had the feeling that we'd get together eventually
13:51Oh, I know he's a bit of an old fuddy-duddy but...
13:57Underneath it all he really is a very nice person
14:01Yes, I agree
14:02But Eileen has warmth and passion
14:06I mean, when he kisses he's not an old fuddy-duddy
14:09Or he's not the sort of uncontrollable monster Mrs Nangle said she saw in the tea leaves but...
14:14He's a real man
14:17I'm sure we could have been happy if we'd had the chance
14:20But I blew it, didn't I?
14:23Absolutely
14:25Well, perhaps if you let him know how strongly you feel
14:28Ah, it's too late now, I don't think he'll even listen to me
14:31Mate, it seems to me he's pretty important to you
14:34Isn't it worth at least one more try?
14:36Oh, that was very thoughtful of you, thank you Jane
14:43It's the least I could do
14:45I really do hate to see you go
14:47Come on, I'll send you a postcard from wherever I settle down
14:51Oh, I'm glad you're still here, Mr Bishop
14:53Well, not for very long, Mrs Mangle, I'm about to leave now
14:56I can't tell you how sorry I am for any trouble I've caused
14:59Please, won't you reconsider?
15:01I'm sorry, but no
15:02My rent is paid up until the end of the month
15:05so my leaving shouldn't cause you any financial problems
15:08until you find a new lodger
15:10No one else in Ahrensboro will make you anywhere near as comfortable as you've been here
15:15Nan, Mr Bishop is leaving Ahrensboro
15:18Surely not
15:20I'm moving as far away from here as possible
15:23Now, as there is nothing further to discuss, I'll go and collect my car
15:27and I'll pick my baggage up later
15:28Thank you for the snack, Jane
15:33It was my pleasure
15:37Oh dear
15:39I had hope that you might have been able to mellow him a little
15:44He wouldn't listen to anyone, Nan
15:46And I can't say I blame him, this has all been so embarrassing for him
15:49Jane, how many times have I told you I don't like people eating meals in my sitting room?
15:54Let's clear this away
15:57Nan, don't start that again
16:01Quiet
16:03I think I saw something
16:05Nan, what is it?
16:07Harold
16:13Harold, Harold, please wait, I want to talk to you
16:16Don't you think you've done enough talking already?
16:18Oh Harold, I can't tell you how sorry I am about what happened, but
16:22don't you think you're taking it all too seriously?
16:25Oh, am I?
16:26I could have put up with Mrs. Mangle's foolishness
16:29Even Eileen Clark's stupid gossip
16:31But do you know what cut me to the heart more than anything else, Madge?
16:34When the woman that I loved
16:37Yes, loved
16:39Told cruel lies about me
16:41Harold, I didn't want to hurt you, but it was just a stupid joke
16:44Well, for me to stay here now would be just too painful
16:47After everything we've been through, Madge, I still thought there could have been some hope for us
16:51Yes, yes, I thought that too
16:52Well, of course, now that is impossible
16:55It's best for me just to leave and be done with it
16:58Harold!
17:00There is nothing more to be said
17:02Watch your cup! I saw you in it!
17:05You were lying there with your arms crossed, you were obviously laid out dead
17:10Oh, Mr. Bishop, it's a warning, you have to listen to me
17:13Don't you think that your superstitious nonsense has caused enough trouble already?
17:16If you think that you can make me stay by carrying on with this foolishness, then
17:20Well, you are very much mistaken
17:23I intend to wipe the dust of Ehrensborough from my shoes once and for all
17:27And nothing that anyone, ANYONE says will make any difference
17:30But he'll die!
17:33Oh!
17:34Is it all ready for me, Charlene?
17:44Oh, no, sorry Harold, Mr. Lewis hasn't finished yet
17:47But I need the car now!
17:49Where is he?
17:51I got called out, an emergency
17:53Oh, yes, I can imagine
17:55Lewis considers it an emergency if his throat is dry
17:58So much for him cutting down, I bet he's out drinking somewhere
18:01Sorry, Harold
18:03Well, is there very much more to do?
18:06Not sure, I think he was almost finished
18:08There wasn't much to do in the first place, I'll take it though
18:10Do you know how much I owe you?
18:12No, we don't work it out till the car's finished
18:16Alright, well, I'll give you a call and send you a check
18:20Oh, Charlene, I do hope that you and Scott will be very happy together
18:27You sound as if we won't be seeing you again
18:31Well, that is about the strength of it
18:35See, I've decided to move on
18:38Oh, Harold, I'd hate to see you go
18:46Circumstances make it impossible for me to stay, that's all
18:50And, uh, I just hope that Scott realises what a lucky young man is to have a wife like you
19:07See ya
19:11Goodbye
19:12I hold you totally responsible for what happened
19:25How convenient, Mrs Ramsey
19:27You choose to ignore your part in it
19:29My part was accidental, you knew what you were doing
19:31And you were quick enough to join in
19:33You didn't like him going out with Eileen any more than I did
19:36But at least I didn't plot and scheme to break up his little romance
19:38Stop it, both of you
19:41What's the good in blaming each other? It's not going to help
19:43I've lost the best lodger I ever had
19:46Nan, he was the only lodger you ever had
19:48That's beside the point
19:50I'll never find another one like Mr Bishop
19:52No, and I'll never find another friend like him either
19:55He was the one man who really seemed to understand me
19:58Well, I'm very sorry for what's happened
20:01I had no idea it would turn out like this
20:03Yes, I'm sorry too
20:05Mrs Ramsey, I honestly believe something awful will happen to him
20:09Can't you convince him not to try to drive a long distance today?
20:13Mrs Mangle, I don't believe in your teacup reading
20:16But I will try one more time with Harold
20:19Wait outside
20:22I thought you said you were only going to be an hour
20:24Ah, it's good to see Turbo again
20:26Took him back to good old days in the racing pits
20:28Tell you what, some of the stories we got to tell
20:30Where's Sir Bishop's car?
20:32He came and took it
20:33I told you he was in a hurry
20:35Didn't you tell him it wasn't finished yet?
20:37Of course I did, but he came and took it anyway
20:39Blimey!
20:41What's the matter?
20:43Oh, I found a leak in his brake line, a bad one
20:45I hadn't finished fixing it
20:47Oh, I found a leak in his brake line, a bad one
20:49I hadn't finished fixing it
20:50Hadn't finished fixing it

21:12Everybody needs good neighbors
21:21Just a friendly way each morning
21:25Helps to make a better day
21:30Neighbors need to get to know each other
21:38Next door is only a footstep away
21:46Neighbors, everybody needs good neighbors
21:54With a little understanding
21:58You can find the perfect plan
22:04Neighbors should be there for one another
22:11That's when good neighbors become good friends
22:20An alone
22:22Interesting
22:23And
22:25Yeah
