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.
00:35I'm sorry about what happened. Next time Dean Ruddy Gardner can do his own dirty work.
00:39It wasn't your fault, Madge. Any way you did it, she would have ended up hurt.
00:42You don't want to mug me for being talked into in the first place. I'll know better next time.
00:46You know, she must feel awful. Imagine scrimping and saving all those years to send him to uni.
00:51Yeah, well he can't be the first kid that's got himself an education and then decided that his parents weren't good enough for him, eh?
00:56Anyway, I'll drop over after we've finished up here and see how she is.
00:59Yeah, I'll come with you.
01:00No, I don't think that's such a good idea.
01:02While knowing Gloria, I don't think she's really going to be receptive to anything either of you have to say at the moment.
01:07No, you're probably right. I guess it can wait till the morning.
01:10Where do you want these?
01:11Leave them right where they are, Madge, and I can only have quite enough. With our party, we'll clean up.
01:15I'm just sorry I spoiled the party. It was going so well.
01:17Ah, the calm before the storm, Madge.
01:19You know what Gail's like? Settles for nothing less than perfection, eh? That's why she married me.
01:24Oh, I married you because I didn't think that you'd survive without me.
01:28Oh, alright, I give up then.
01:30Gail's right, Madge. You run along and we'll finish up the thing.
01:33Well, and we'll get together in the morning and work out what we can do about Gloria, yeah?
01:36Maybe there's nothing we can do. Bye.
01:39Thanks again, Madge. Bye.
01:40It wasn't very subtle, Paul. You practically threw her out.
01:46Which is what they're going to be doing to us, Gail, if the word of this concrete cancer gets out.
01:50It's that bad?
01:51Well, if Kevin's right, we're going to have to close down the hotel until repairs are done.
01:55I think that we should just keep it to ourselves for the time being.
01:58The last thing I need is the union finding out and panicking and forcing us into it before it's necessary, eh?
02:04If Kevin's right? I mean, are you saying there's a chance your golden-haired boy's made a little mistake?
02:08No, I don't think that. But I still have to get a cheque by an expert.
02:12If we have to close down, then we'll... That's right. No income, nothing.
02:17We won't even be able to afford the mortgage payments.
02:21Do you like it?
02:24Yeah, it's good. It's good. Did you get it, Adelaide?
02:26Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's... Yeah, it's good.
02:28Haven't we had enough of that noise for one day?
02:32I should think the whole neighbourhood's had enough of it, as a matter of fact.
02:37I can only say it's a blessing you're starting school tomorrow and you won't have any more free time to waste.
02:43Don't count on it. I reckon once my new, uh, maths teacher spots me, I'm going to be finishing school tomorrow.
02:49Matthew, I really think you're worrying over nothing.
02:52Hilary, you weren't there. Look, it can only have happened to me, my first day in a new town.
02:56Now, give some fella a hard time and he turns out to be my maths teacher. Fabulous.
03:01Well, look, if you're feeling that worried about it, perhaps I'd better have a word with him.
03:06Oh, would you? I actually thought I heard his motorbike pulling up just a few minutes ago.
03:10I find it very hard to believe you can hear anything above the noise of that music.
03:14Anyway, I'm sure it'll all wait until tomorrow. Your dinners are getting cold.
03:18It's something, anyway.
03:21Yeah, she'll terrify him into leaving you alone.
03:23Hey, look, I think it was nice of her to offer.
03:25Besides, maybe she could have a word to your sister for you.
03:28Are you kidding? There's no need, anyway.
03:31Bronnie and I are always funny. It doesn't mean anything.
03:33She can't stay mad at me for five minutes.
03:36Well, that's good, then. Family should stick together.
03:39Yeah, this time tomorrow she'll have forgotten about the whole thing.
03:41Where is she? Who? That loud-mouthed wife of yours. How dare you say something?
03:50Look at me, Harold. I'll handle this.
03:51Oh, you're good at handling things, aren't you?
03:53You sure handled Gloria beauty today, telling them she wasn't welcome at Denny's fancy cocktail party.
03:58I didn't say that. Yeah, but you meant it.
04:00Well, not exactly. Well, I suppose that was the strength of it.
04:04Rob, I'm sorry I should have handled it more carefully.
04:07Better still, I shouldn't have let myself get talked into it in the first place.
04:10What do you mean?
04:12Dean asked me to speak to Gloria.
04:15About not going to the party?
04:17Believe it or not, I was trying to stop her getting hurt.
04:19Well, looks like it wasn't your fault. I'm sorry if I came on a bit strong.
04:24A bit?
04:26I've never seen Gloria so cut up.
04:29All I could get out of it was that you said...
04:32Looks like I was taking it out on the wrong person.
04:35The ungrateful little beggar when I think of everything she's done for him.
04:39You know, she's really taking it hard, you know.
04:43Yeah, I know.
04:45Gail and I are going to try and talk to her tomorrow.
04:47Maybe there's something we can do.
04:49Or undo, might be more to the point.
04:52I just hope she's still talking to me.
04:55I mean, if he'd known you were his teacher, he wouldn't have been so unfriendly.
04:59That doesn't excuse his behaviour, of course.
05:02No.
05:03But if he'd done it deliberately knowing you were a teacher, well, that would be different, wouldn't it?
05:07Look, I'm not saying I was particularly impressed by the way he carried on.
05:10But as far as I'm concerned, it's got nothing to do with school.
05:12You know, every student comes into my class with a clean slate and it's up to them whether they keep it on.
05:17Well, I don't think you'll have any worries there.
05:19He has been having a few problems adjusting to things lately, but I'm sure that has a lot to do with what's happened.
05:26Anyway, that's all behind him now.
05:28Well, what sort of problems?
05:30Oh, um...
05:31Well, I am his teacher.
05:32It's good to know these things, you know.
05:34You know, Mike, just general.
05:36General.
05:37Good morning.
05:38Yes.
05:39Okay, everything okay over a jazz?
05:42Yeah.
05:43Oh.
05:44Good one to be.
05:45All those four-legged burglar alarms.
05:47Well, that's one way of describing them.
05:49I could think of a few of my own, however.
05:52Well, they're not as bad as they were.
05:53I mean, they have settled down quite a bit.
05:55Yes.
05:56They only kept me awake five times last night.
05:59I trust they will be gone soon before the council has to be contacted.
06:03Sorry, I just put my foot in my mouth.
06:09Oh, that's okay.
06:11I'll just let Jo take care of her.
06:13Hmm?
06:14No, I got a phone call from Jane when I was over at the house.
06:17She's gonna stay on a bit longer with her Nan, but, um, Jo's on his way home.
06:21Should arrive sometime today.
06:22Oh, that's great.
06:24Yeah.
06:25Isn't it?
06:26That's great.
06:29Mmm, what a morning to sleep in.
06:32Gayle and I are supposed to see Gloria before work.
06:35Anyone over here?
06:36Yes.
06:37I thought you might have left by now.
06:38No, we should have.
06:39Madge, I'm making a batch of my chocolate and walnut biscuits and I'm out of walnuts.
06:42Do you have any?
06:43Ah, yes, yes, all right.
06:45I'm, er, sorry to bother you at this time of the morning, but I suppose that's what good neighbours are for.
06:50You haven't heard about that competition we entered each other in, have you?
06:54No, not a word.
06:55But I would have thought by now that good neighbours and good friends would have done something about those wretched trees hanging over our fence.
07:00I'm sick of cleaning leaves out of the pool every five minutes.
07:04Well, I did mention it to Jim.
07:06I'll have another word with him.
07:08Bye, Harold.
07:09Bye, Helen.
07:10Sorry for the walnuts.
07:11Madge.
07:13Madge.
07:14Madge me.
07:15Madge.
07:16I'm fair game for anyone to have a go at, but I've got a pussyfoot around so I don't stand on toes.
07:20I'm fed up with that and I'm fed up with cleaning their leaves out of our pool and I want something done about it.
07:27Oh, what now?
07:33Hey, I...
07:34Yes, Sharon.
07:35Oh, um, is Bronnie home?
07:36No.
07:37Well, she's in the shower, but we're running late for work.
07:39Oh, I'm sorry.
07:40I didn't mean to bother you.
07:41I just want to see her.
07:42I owe her an apology.
07:43Hang on.
07:44I'll see if she'll come and see you.
07:45Oh, you caught me in a bad mood.
07:46I'm sorry I shouldn't be taking it out on you.
07:51Well, I suppose you're pretty cheesed off with me too, huh?
07:54Well, of course I can't pretend you have acted most irresponsibly.
07:58Well, it's just a joke.
08:00It was supposed to be anyway.
08:01Well, life is one big joke with you, isn't it?
08:04Well, I'm afraid it'll be some time before I can take you seriously again.
08:07Sharon, I'm sorry.
08:08Bron Winslow, she doesn't want to see you.
08:10And she said she'd prefer it if you didn't come round here anymore.
08:13Ah!
08:14Well, you know, Bronnie, she's going to make me suffer a bit, I suppose.
08:17I'll see you later.
08:18Des, have you some...
08:27Ah, here it is.
08:28Right, I'm off.
08:30Now, do we need anything from the shops for tonight?
08:32No, no, Kerry's got it all under control.
08:34Right.
08:35What was that?
08:36The shopping.
08:37Oh, yeah.
08:38Right, I'll see you then.
08:40Bye.
08:41You're alright, I'll see you, mate.
08:42What are the kids up to?
08:44They're playing with a tea set.
08:46They've just finished breakfast and already they're having a tea party.
08:49Do you think they're trying to tell us that we don't feed them enough?
08:51Could be.
08:56Do you want to tell me something?
08:59Shows, huh?
09:00It shows.
09:03It's Joe.
09:06He asked me to marry him before he went to England.
09:09Wow.
09:10I had no idea it was that serious.
09:12Well, I didn't tell anybody because I wasn't sure how I felt about it myself.
09:17And I'm still not.
09:20One thing I do know, though, is that he won't be too happy about my moving out of the house.
09:25Alright.
09:26Maybe you should move back again.
09:29No.
09:31If I'm going to make any sort of proper decision, I need some space to think.
09:35Oh, anyway.
09:36If Joe isn't happy about me moving out, there is one consolation.
09:39What, sir?
09:41Dad thinks it's a great idea.
09:45There we go.
09:47Believe me, Gloria, all kids go through the stage of rejecting their parents.
09:51I never thought one of mine would think he was too good for me.
09:54Yeah, I reckon that Dean's an ungrateful little creep.
09:57Gloria doesn't deserve to be treated like that.
09:59I couldn't agree more, but I'm sure it's just a phase he's going through.
10:02You know what we all think of you.
10:03Yeah.
10:04And I remember what you thought of me when you first met me.
10:07Not good enough for your father, remember?
10:09Yeah, I do, and that's true, but I was wrong, at least I admit it, right?
10:13Once I got to know you, I didn't think that.
10:14Yeah, once you got to know me, don't you see, that's it.
10:17Everybody takes one look and doesn't want to know about the rest.
10:21It's me image that's all wrong.
10:24Excuse me, I couldn't help overhearing.
10:27On account of how you're listening.
10:29Look, knowing how to behave in a social setting isn't something you're born with.
10:32It's something that you're taught.
10:34I mean, English have been sending their children to finishing school for generations.
10:38Yeah, finishing's right.
10:40My point being, it's never too late to learn.
10:44Oh, you reckon?
10:45Mrs Lewis, if you'd let me take you in hand, I'll teach you everything you need to know about deportment and etiquette.
10:51Oh, jeez, would you?
10:53Come round this afternoon for afternoon tea and we'll make a start immediately.
10:57By the time I've finished with you, nobody will know you.
11:00Yeah, and will anyone want to?
11:09G'day, lover.
11:12Hi.
11:14It must be telepathy or something, you know?
11:16Because I was just walking up there and saying, wouldn't it be great if Kerry was waiting here for me?
11:20And here you are.
11:22Here I am.
11:24Come on, give us a hug.
11:25Oh, come on, we can do better than that, can't we?
11:31Well, we don't want to use it all up at once.
11:35Oh, no, I suppose not.
11:40You been thinking about us getting hitched?
11:43Hmm?
11:45Yeah, I thought about it.
11:47I've got something for you.
11:56Oh, Joe.
11:58It's really lovely.
12:00Yeah.
12:02I got in one of them street stalls over there, they're all over the shop.
12:05I thought it'd go with that dress I like, you know, the purple one.
12:10Well, it will.
12:12Well, go on.
12:13Go and change.
12:14We'll see what it looks like.
12:15I'll get you on video.
12:18Went bonkers in Honkers.
12:19Shop over.
12:25Oh.
12:27What are you waiting for?
12:29Joe, I can't change.
12:31None of my clothes are here.
12:33What, did you sell them to Salvos or something?
12:36No.
12:38They're over Dez's place with all the rest of my stuff.
12:48Oh, yuck.
12:49Fish paste.
12:50Well, a fish can have it.
12:51No, hold on, hold on.
12:52Um, swap you.
12:54For the apple?
12:55Mm-hmm.
12:56Okay.
12:59What else did Madge say?
13:00Nothing.
13:02Or he doesn't want to see me, that's that.
13:04It's pretty heavy.
13:05I just don't get it.
13:07We've had heaps of fights before.
13:08We're always fighting.
13:09That's what sisters are for.
13:11I can't really say I'll blame her, you know.
13:13Thanks very much.
13:14No, no, it's just that if anyone's the innocent part of you, it's Bronwyn.
13:18I suppose so.
13:20All you've got to do is find a way to make it up to her.
13:22How?
13:23I went to see her.
13:24She doesn't want to know me.
13:25And you're surprised?
13:27Look, you did treat her pretty badly, but don't let it slide.
13:30Family's too important.
13:31You've got a real thing about that, haven't you?
13:35Yeah, well, you see a lot of them split up.
13:37Have your parents?
13:38No.
13:39No.
13:41It just happens a lot, you know, that's all.
13:44I suppose you're right.
13:47Okay, I'll try again.
13:48She'll probably knock me back again, but I'll try.
13:51Okay.
13:52Oh, yeah!
13:57I told you so.
14:03Oh, there we go, Paul.
14:05Bronwyn put it together.
14:06I haven't checked it, but I'm sure it's all there.
14:07Oh, no problem. Thanks, Aaron.
14:09Paul, I bumped into Kevin yesterday.
14:12He was doing the valuation on the hotel, and he seemed to be concerned about something.
14:17No, no, just a routine valuation.
14:18We're getting the insurance upgraded.
14:19Well, yes, I know, but he mentioned something about having bad news for you.
14:23No, no, no.
14:24Just, I think, the price of insurance premiums these days, you know.
14:27Oh!
14:28Oh, g'day, stranger. How was the trip?
14:30Well, how's Mrs Mangle?
14:32Worthington.
14:34Never could use to call you that.
14:35Oh, she's getting there.
14:37The quacks reckon she'll be up and about in no time.
14:39God help them all.
14:40Jane's hanging around over there for a while, keeping an eye on it.
14:43Yeah, bet you're relieved then, eh?
14:44I'll see.
14:45Anyway, let's not catch up with you later and have a yak.
14:48Sure, mate.
14:50All right, Harry.
14:51If you haven't gone all veggie on us again, I want one good Australian meat pie.
14:57Those pommies are taking our beer okay, but they've got no idea about Tucker.
15:01I think I can arrange that for you.
15:03Glad to be home?
15:04Yeah.
15:05Yeah, I'll be a lot gladder when I get rid of them dogs.
15:08Went down to do the washing this morning.
15:10Very nearly didn't get back.
15:12Oh, well, we've had several inquiries about them already.
15:15We should have homes for them all in no time.
15:17Won't be soon enough for me.
15:19I trust you weren't too upset when you found out that Kerry had moved into the Clark house?
15:24No, why should I?
15:27She's over there babysitting Jamie.
15:29The kids play together.
15:31It's probably a good idea.
15:33I've got the feeling there was a lot more to it than just a babysitting arrangement, you know?
15:38Eh?
15:39Well, you know, I mean, they do have a lot of interest in common, don't they?
15:43Babies round about the same age, and interest in languages, yes.
15:46I've got the feeling there's a lot more to it than just that.
15:49Hmm.
15:54Reckon you lot are doing this on purpose.
15:56Well, they haven't been out for a while, they're just a little bit excited.
15:59Next time, Mike can walk the dogs, I'll stay home with the kids.
16:03Oh, look, you're having the time of your life.
16:05Yeah, I hope no one's around here with a camera.
16:07You'll see it now. Front page of the Erinsborough News.
16:10Local bank manager going to the dogs.
16:12Blame in heck, you've done it again.
16:14What?
16:15Oh.
16:17Told you this wasn't a good idea.
16:19Well, they've got to get their exercise.
16:20No, not that, the ice cream.
16:22Oh, mate.
16:24Take, get them, take them away.
16:26Alright, here, come on.
16:28Come on, come on.
16:30Off we go.
16:32To remove the battery pack, pull down the battery pack release lever and slide battery out.
16:37Yes.
16:38Yes.
16:56Have a look at you.
16:58You're messier than Skye and Jamie.
17:01Your dad.
17:02Yeah.
17:20Gail.
17:24Got some bad news.
17:28Kevin was right about the concrete cancer.
17:30Yeah, the correct term for it is called spalling, but it boils down to the same thing.
17:34The engineer just told me about it.
17:36See, what happens is water gets into the steel reinforcement inside the concrete, it rusts, it expands, and it causes the concrete to start to crack.
17:44And we've definitely got it.
17:46Heaps.
17:48Oh, what do we do? How long have we got?
17:52We're okay for the moment, but repairs would have to be underway in two months.
17:56What do you mean by would?
17:58We're not insured for that.
18:00Does that mean we can ignore it?
18:01No.
18:03And the repairs are going to cost at least $100,000.
18:06Paul, we don't have that kind of money.
18:09Tell me about it.
18:10We're back.
18:14We're back.
18:16How are the kids?
18:17Thirsty?
18:18Oh, where are they?
18:19How are the dogs?
18:20Don't ask.
18:21Should have seen you two, you know, you look like you're on a polar expedition.
18:24Clark of the Antarctic.
18:26Yeah, well, as long as none of the important band customers saw us.
18:30Well, it would have been fine if it hadn't have been for the ice cream.
18:33The ice cream?
18:34Didn't you say hit the kids with Thirsty?
18:36Yeah, right.
18:37I'll tell you about it later.
18:38You do, and I'll bop you one.
18:39Oh, yeah? Come on.
18:41Have a go. I'd like to see you try.
18:42Hmm?
18:43Yeah, come on.
18:44When Mike Tyson has nightmares, I'm the bloke he dreams of.
18:46Well, I'll never give anyone nightmares, really.
18:50Points decision.
18:53Oh, g'day, mate.
18:55Gonna come over and see you later.
18:57Really missed you?
18:58Yeah, I bet.
19:00Sorry?
19:01I thought I'd be the last bloke you'd want to see now.
19:04What's going on here, mate?
19:05Do you know very well what's got into me, Des?
19:07Joe!

19:22Neighbours.
19:25Everybody needs good neighbours.
