Transcript
00:00Yes, I mean I could book us into a fitting and then we can ask Mac for the same day off work. Where is Mac?
00:04Oh, she said she wasn't feeling well, so she stayed home. Well, that's two days in a row. She okay?
00:08It's nothing serious, right? You know, I don't know, honestly. You know, I'm gonna go check on Mac. Yeah.
00:12Are you just trying to skip out on the shopping? No, Abby, I want to make sure that Mac is okay.
00:16You know Levi's partner, our boss, remember her?
00:19Wait, what about the coffee?
00:21Wait, okay, hold on. You made your point, but there's just too many options.
00:25All right, no, no, one more, one more. What do you think of?
00:28Love, for a splendor.
00:30Um, I'm thinking I'm healthy, I'm relaxed, I'm vegetarian.
00:36Ooh!
00:38Okay, Marilyn would love that. Look, I will put them away, okay?
00:42Maybe we can run through some options later, maybe.
00:45All right, I will get my people to reach out to your people.
00:48Well, what's going on here?
00:51I mean, oh boy, things really do change quickly around here, don't they?
00:57We were just joking around.
00:59I'm out of the picture now, Leah.
01:02So whatever I was holding you back from...
01:05You weren't, that's not what this is.
01:07No, this is yours now, it's got nothing to do with me.
01:10I've been labelling all my photos.
01:20I wanna hang on to every single memory for as long as I possibly can.
01:25The pictures on the wall are whispering my name.
01:31They're holding on to stories that no longer have a place.
01:37So while I still got time, I'll pick flowers in my mind.
01:43I'll be dancing with the embers as they're rising.
01:47Your illness doesn't have to dictate what comes next.
01:50You still get to decide that.
01:51While I got time...
01:55Ari, you're a legend.
01:56Ha! Dad!
01:57While I got...
01:59I won't lose you from my life one second before I have to.
02:03Say goodbye to a legend.
02:05Don't miss a moment of Home and Away.
02:21I can't keep doing all the things I've been doing.
02:24I think it's time that I took a step back from the diner.
02:27Any second thoughts about today?
02:28No, love.
02:29Selling my share of the diner is the right thing to do.
02:31I can't help but I'm going between sad and guilty today.
02:34You've got absolutely nothing to feel guilty about.
02:37The contract's arrived, hasn't it?
02:39Yeah, courier just dropped them off.
02:42Best of luck to both.
02:44Thanks, Jim.
02:48Irene forgot my name.
02:49It's going to keep happening, isn't it?
02:51Irene's been working at this diner for decades.
02:54She's a huge part of people's lives.
02:57How are you?
02:59You tell me and then we'll both know.
03:04No more tears, no more heartache.
03:06We make things how we want it.
03:08Oh, oh, oh.
03:10Cause it's in our blood.
03:13Sometimes life's been a bummer.
03:15And we light up like a summer.
03:18Oh, oh, oh.
03:20Cause it's in our blood.
03:22We're going to lose.
03:23Oh, oh.
03:24Oh.
03:25Do you slide human?
03:26You lose.
03:27What do I lose?
03:28Cause guess what?
03:29I feel like a winner.
03:30Oh.
03:31Yeah, so you have to head off and play footy with your little buddy.
03:35No.
03:36I don't have the energy for Cohen today.
03:37What's he going to do instead?
03:39Oh, he's just going to pester people with questions about his adoption.
03:41Yeah.
03:42He can't wait.
03:43That's really nice.
03:44And he's so excited about his future.
03:45I'm not as excited as I am about our future together.
03:47Hey, my beautiful bride-to-be.
03:48Oh.
03:49Hey.
03:50So cheesy.
03:51So cheesy.
03:52Who's that?
03:54It's dad.
03:56He's just checking in.
03:57Okay.
03:58Well, you didn't throw your phone into the ocean.
04:00So that's progress.
04:01Oh.
04:02He and I have actually been talking a lot.
04:04And I...
04:05I didn't want to say anything to you or anyone else.
04:07Cause I...
04:08I don't know how it would turn out.
04:10But I have decided to invite him to the wedding.
04:14Don't make it a big deal.
04:15It's a big deal though.
04:16It's not.
04:17But it's a very big deal.
04:18It's a really big deal.
04:20It's a huge deal.
04:21Does the wedding suddenly feel far away, do you?
04:27Yeah.
04:28Yeah, it does.
04:29Maybe it's like one of those things that's just like suddenly around the corner before
04:34you know it.
04:35Yeah.
04:36It'd be nice if we didn't have to wait for so long though, wouldn't it?
04:39What are you saying?
04:40We bring the wedding forward?
04:42Why wouldn't we?
04:43Because we barely planned anything for one.
04:45Then we barely have to cancel anything.
04:47And when you and I are motivated, we can do anything.
04:50Yeah, I mean, okay, let's do it.
04:53Okay, let's do it.
04:54I can't wait to kiss her.
04:57She can't wait either.
04:59I think it's important to remember that no matter what Irene says, you just can't get
05:08offended or hurt.
05:09Yeah, of course not.
05:10Because ultimately we want to be supportive and respectful.
05:14And how do I respectfully ask my friend, did you just forget who I am?
05:19I don't know.
05:20I guess you crack a joke or you remind her gently.
05:23Yeah, you're probably right.
05:25I mean, you know Irene better than almost anyone.
05:29So how do you think she'd want you to act?
05:31I think she'd probably want me to keep my mouth shut.
05:35Okay, well that's your answer then.
05:37You are still a good friend to her though, no matter who remembers what.
05:50He walked over to me, but I've had these irrational demons for years.
05:59Who are all these people?
06:00Relatives of yours?
06:01Not family, but close enough.
06:03Found family then?
06:05Most of them have stayed here at some point or another over the years.
06:09Hang on, you've had a lot of house guests.
06:12How does Dana stack up?
06:14She's a bright enough spark.
06:16Yeah, she is.
06:17She definitely keeps me on my toes.
06:19You don't need to hang around.
06:20Didn't need to walk me home either.
06:22Oh, I know.
06:24Take care.
06:25I will.
06:26First I'm going to put the kettle on.
06:28Make yourself at home, why don't you?
06:30One of my greatest skills.
06:32How do you take your tea?
06:33Hang on a minute.
06:34Did Dana send you here to spy on me?
06:37No, no, no.
06:38I swear she has nothing to do with this.
06:40I'm just after a bit of wisdom.
06:42I'm sure you've come to the right place.
06:44Yeah, well apparently you're a bit of a legend around these parts.
06:48Ben Ingham.
06:49Who said that?
06:50Yeah, not important.
06:52Sugar?
06:53On the house.
06:54Why?
06:55What's the occasion?
06:56Well, Mac's away so I'm in charge.
06:57Oh, where is she?
06:58She didn't feel like coming in and I was not about to argue with her.
06:59Is she alright?
07:00I've just been in a mood.
07:01Snappy, even with Levi.
07:02I'm more than happy to see it clear.
07:03Okay, so the question is, is a wedding in three months doable?
07:15I mean we'll have the marriage license by then and that's the main thing, right?
07:18Three months it is.
07:19Um, did I just hear what I think I heard?
07:23You did, yes?
07:24Yeah, we're excited.
07:25We don't want to wait.
07:26Okay, one, very happy for you both.
07:29And two, this gives us like zero time to get organized.
07:31Oh, no babe, you don't have to do anything.
07:33You just be there on the day.
07:34Excuse you, maid of honour.
07:35I have very important responsibilities and I'm taking them very seriously.
07:38Alright, I'm gonna find someone to cover and then I'm tapping-
07:40No, you don't need to do that.
07:41Um, okay.
07:43Marley is never allowed to go away again.
07:45I mean, she is out of control when she's out of lives.
07:48Do we just escape before she comes back?
07:50Do we run?
07:51Babe, you're on fire with your ideas today.
07:53Yeah.
07:54Yes, that's right.
07:55Uh-huh.
08:05How'd you go?
08:07I gave her every opportunity to change the lines.
08:10So it's done then?
08:12Yep.
08:13Irene signed over her.
08:14Now it's just me.
08:16So, I guess congratulations are in order.
08:19Oh, it's not really a celebration.
08:21Well, when you become the sole owner of a business like this, it's a big deal.
08:24With everything that Irene is going through, I would take all of this back if I could change anything.
08:29Anyway, I'm going outside to close the coffee cup.
08:32Hello, baby.
08:33Oh, you're cute.
08:35Problem?
08:36Oh, it's just work.
08:38I was trying to clear the slate so I could be here for Leah.
08:41Oh, you go.
08:42I'll look after her.
08:44Sure?
08:45Absolutely.
08:46She's in good hands.
08:47Thanks, mate.
08:49Wow, so this has actually been a huge, life-changing day for you.
08:53That diner is the reason I got out of bed for the last 20 years.
08:58There's plenty of reasons to get out of bed.
09:00A job is just one of them.
09:02Not a very exciting one if you ask me.
09:04Remind me again what work it is you do.
09:07Well, that's just it.
09:08I don't work.
09:09I meet people.
09:11See things.
09:12You know, I enjoy the fruits of life.
09:14Not sure what fruits you're eating.
09:16Well, I just, I try to focus on the things that I want to do.
09:22And your schedule, I happen to be known as a pretty fun guy.
09:26Enlighten me, fun guy.
09:30Hey.
09:31Too late.
09:32I've already turned the machine off.
09:33I'm not here for a cuppa.
09:35I'm here to talk.
09:37Come on.
09:38Give us a minute, eh?
09:39It's a flaming tragedy how fast this is all happening with Irene.
09:48Yeah.
09:49That's why who owns the diner should be the last thing on anyone's mind.
09:54You know, recently I got a very impressive bait shop.
10:00I am aware.
10:02It's given me a whole new lease on life.
10:04Wouldn't have happened, though, unless I'd lost the old one first.
10:08Yeah, but the difference is you didn't have a choice.
10:12Now, Irene could have taken her time before leaving.
10:15Well, she worked out what was right for her and she did it.
10:18And good luck to her.
10:20But, of course, what that means to you, it's a brand new chapter.
10:25Whether I like it or not.
10:29What you've got to focus on now is just going forward.
10:33There's no future in the past.
10:38I'm sure we should be getting ready for the wedding.
10:39We can multitask.
10:40That's a good point.
10:41There we are.
10:42Ding!
10:43Ding!
10:44Ding!
10:45Ding!
10:46Ding!
10:47That is the sound of wedding bells telling us to get to work.
10:48Ah, where'd you get these from?
10:49I have my saucers.
10:50You know, people are surprisingly supportive when they hear there's a wedding emergency.
10:51This is not an emergency.
10:52You know what?
10:53Now, go on.
10:54Shoo.
10:55You're dismissed.
10:56No grooms in the bridal suite.
10:57No arguments from me.
10:58We might go update our celebration.
10:59Please don't leave me with her.
11:00Okay, I want you to mark down the pages of the one you like, except that one.
11:03You are not wearing that.
11:04I'm not ready to make these kinds of decisions.
11:06Okay, well get ready because the clock is ticking.
11:07How are you the bossy one right now?
11:08This is my wedding.
11:09You will thank me for the push when you are walking down the aisle in the perfect dress.
11:21You gonna go see Irene tonight?
11:22No, no, no, no.
11:23I'm not.
11:24I'm not.
11:25I'm not.
11:26I'm not.
11:27I'm not.
11:28I'm not.
11:29I'm not.
11:30I'm not.
11:31I'm not.
11:32I'm not.
11:33I'm not.
11:34I'm not.
11:35Can you see Irene tonight?
11:36No, no.
11:37No can do.
11:38I got a committee meeting.
11:40Hey, you'll be home though, won't you?
11:41I don't think she should be left on her own.
11:43Yes.
11:44Harper's gonna be working late.
11:45I'm gonna be there.
11:47I just wish I could spend more time with her.
11:49Maybe you should rework the roster.
11:51Do less patrols.
11:52It's probably a good idea.
11:54Hey.
11:55You want a sec?
11:56Yeah, ma'am.
11:57Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:58I'll take this up to the garage for ya.
11:59Well, slow and focus, will ya?
12:03Yeah.
12:04He he he he he he he.
12:07Okay, so we want to move to the wedding floor and Eden and I want to get married sooner.
12:10Oh, when were you thinking?
12:11We were thinking three months from now. I can send you all the details.
12:14Haven't either of you heard that patience is a virtue?
12:16Yeah, we know, we know. We're gonna have to hustle, but we're ready.
12:19So we'll lock that in?
12:20Yeah, I'll open my diary as soon as I get back to the office.
12:22Awesome.
12:31Hey.
12:34You look a million miles away.
12:36I'm fine. Just keep looking up and just think that I'm gonna see Irene walk through the kitchen.
12:41Yeah.
12:43The end of an era.
12:45But Alf reminded me that it also means new beginnings.
12:49He fits a lot of sage advice under that hat.
12:52Yeah, yeah, things might be changing around here, but maybe that's okay.
13:04Oh, dear.
13:05Oh, dear.
13:06Oh, dear.
13:07Oh, dear.
13:08Woo!
13:09Woo!
13:10Woo!
13:11Woo!
13:12Woo!
13:13Woo!
13:14Woo-hoo!
13:16Woo-hoo!
13:17Hey, what did I miss?
13:18We are having a party, love.
13:21To celebrate my official retirement.
13:24And her new dance partner.
13:25It's a win-win-win.
13:26Is that three wins?
13:27Is that three wins?
13:28Yeah, because you're here now.
13:30I mean, I don't think I've ever seen you dance before.
13:33Well, get used to it, honey.
13:34I better check the potatoes.
13:36Thank you, chef.
13:42This was not on my bingo card.
13:44Oh, no, it wasn't?
13:45Oh, was it on your dance card?
13:52For what?
13:53You should have had a really good night, it seems.
13:55Oh, no, no, no, my love.
13:57The night is but young.
14:02All right, how about this one?
14:03It has the neckline you like, but it's way more modern.
14:05I mean, that could work if we were getting married in a spaceship.
14:09Hey, I told you to beat it, all right?
14:11No peeking.
14:12I don't think you'd still be here.
14:13Oh, I said I'd be back at work like an hour ago.
14:15All right, I need you to keep going when he's not looking, obviously.
14:18Yeah, there you are.
14:20How'd you go?
14:21See?
14:24Oh, that's a lot of doggies.
14:25Yep.
14:26They're not mine, they're all Abbie's.
14:27I did a grand total of...
14:28Oh, look at that!
14:29Absolutely none.
14:30Well, at least you have a better idea of what you don't want.
14:35Hello?
14:37Nobody home across the room.
14:38Hey, John.
14:39Hey, John.
14:40Look, if this is about the wedding, maybe we could talk about it tomorrow, Ed.
14:42It's completely burnt out.
14:43Yeah, so burnt out.
14:44Yeah, no, this will only take a minute.
14:46This is about the date change?
14:47We understand we haven't given you very much time to prepare.
14:49Yeah, that's the thing.
14:50I've had a proper look at my calendar, and unfortunately I can't make this work.
14:56Well, okay, we'll look if the date's an issue.
14:58I'm sure we could shift that.
14:59No, no, there are no dates around that time that will work.
15:01So I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to marry you guys.
15:04Is everything all right?
15:05Everything's good, yep, yep.
15:06And I'll find you a great alternative, so don't worry.
15:08John, I'm sure that we can make this work.
15:10Yeah.
15:11No, I have to step down.
15:13It's fine.
15:21Are you going to eat that?
15:22Yes.
15:27Look, I'm going to say something to you about it.
15:31You really, um, you really showed up for Irene last night, and I was very impressed.
15:36Ah, she's a firecracker.
15:37I can see why everyone loves her.
15:38Yes, but I can see what you're doing.
15:40What am I doing?
15:41You're taking special care of my landlady, which is a very nice way to a girl's heart.
15:46So, thank you.
15:49No need.
15:50Helping people is actually really fulfilling.
15:52You should try it.
15:53I'm like a nurse and a lifesaver.
15:55See, too many jobs and not enough time to give back.
15:57You're right.
15:58Yeah.
15:59Oh, look, it's the happy couple.
16:01Hello.
16:02How's the wedding planning going?
16:04Any disasters yet?
16:05Oh.
16:07Actual disasters?
16:08No, no.
16:09Uh, but our celebrant pulled out.
16:11Is that because he changed the day out?
16:13Apparently, yeah.
16:14Yeah, he says he can't do anything around that time.
16:15Yeah, he didn't exactly go into detail, so.
16:19Yeah, that's right.
16:20Their names are Cash and Eden.
16:21Lovely couple.
16:23Alright, I'll, uh, text you their details then.
16:25Thanks for stepping in.
16:27Bye.
16:29You okay?
16:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:31Once I get a shot of this, I'll be buzzing as per usual.
16:33I was worried about you yesterday, with Irene calling your jet.
16:36Oh, thanks, thanks.
16:37I'm fine.
16:38I know there's going to be moments like that.
16:40But I'm not taking it personally.
16:42Plenty more good times to come.
16:46Alright.
16:47Ready.
16:49Didn't realise it was arts and crafts day.
16:51Ha, ha, ha.
16:52Very funny.
16:53No, no, no.
16:54So, I was passing the hardware store and I had a little brainwave,
16:57so I went in.
16:58Any excuse?
16:59No, no, no, no, no.
17:00I was looking for inspiration for you.
17:03At this place.
17:05You want me to repaint the diner?
17:07Might be fun to give it a refresh.
17:08Ah, I only signed the papers yesterday.
17:10Yeah, I know, but you're also saying that things are changing anyway.
17:13Yeah, yeah, but the walls and the furniture, that's a big expensive change.
17:17Well, okay, so you do the menus or you do the bench stuff, whatever.
17:20The point is, this is entirely up to you.
17:27Hey.
17:28Hey, how was your breakfast?
17:32Yeah, nice.
17:33You pair had me in absolute stitches last night.
17:37That fella of yours is such a good egg.
17:39Yeah, he's pretty great.
17:41In fact, I'm taking a leaf out of his book.
17:43Hm?
17:44I've packed myself for lunch and I'm taking a walk up to the lighthouse.
17:48Oh, that sounds fun.
17:49Do you want to join me?
17:50I've got to shift later, but thank you.
17:52You sure?
17:53I've packed enough sandwiches for a small army.
17:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:56I've got work.
17:58Alright, what's the matter?
17:59Nothing.
18:01Come on.
18:02Either you're jealous of my big day out or there's something bothering you.
18:04What is it?
18:05It's nothing.
18:06Honestly, I'm going to text him later.
18:08It's all good.
18:09Sonny?
18:10No.
18:11Well, if it's not Sonny, it must be John.
18:13Alright.
18:14What's he done?
18:16There you go.
18:17She's available for your new dates and she's promised to look after you.
18:19Okay, John, I'm going to give this lady a call.
18:21But if you need anything, I want you to let me know.
18:22Okay.
18:23Thanks, ma'am.
18:26Hey.
18:27Hey.
18:28I hear you lost your celebrant.
18:29Do you know what's going on with him?
18:31Leave it with me, love.
18:34Oh, there you are.
18:35I was going to call you to see if you're free for lunch.
18:37Yeah, I'm not.
18:38I'm too busy clocking you over the head.
18:40What for?
18:41Turning down Cash and Eden's wedding.
18:43Oh, well that news travelled fast.
18:44Well, are you surprised?
18:45The whole town's talking about it, John.
18:47It doesn't make any sense.
18:48You practically broke your fuffle valve trying to become this celebrant.
18:52Well, some things are more important.
18:54Whatever this is, it had better not be about me.
18:56Of course it's about you.
18:58Well, then you get Cash back here immediately.
19:01I don't want to be a burden to you.
19:03You called me Jet.
19:05What?
19:07Yesterday, when you were going off to sign the contracts,
19:09you thought I was Jet.
19:12No, I didn't.
19:13I was there, Irene.
19:14So was Leah.
19:15We both heard it.
19:16So, no.
19:17I'm not going to do Cash's wedding.
19:19I'm going to spend my time with you.
19:22Love, I am sorry.
19:23Alright?
19:24It was a mistake.
19:25No.
19:26I don't want you to forget me.
19:29And I won't let that happen.
19:31And I don't want to talk about it.
19:33Oh, come on.
19:45This is supposed to be the exciting part.
19:47I just don't see myself in any of these.
19:49Alright, well, if the magazines don't inspire you,
19:52then I have a better idea.
19:53Is it to not do this at all?
19:54Because that would be great.
19:55No, we should go to Yabby Creek and try dresses on for real.
19:57Seriously?
20:03No!
20:05That's really normal.
