00:00Neighbours
00:02Everybody needs good neighbours
00:06With a little understanding
00:10You can find the perfect blend
00:16Neighbours
00:18Neighbours
00:20Should be there for one another
00:24That's when good neighbours become good friends
00:48Thank you
00:54You're a diamond, I believe
00:56I do hope so
00:58What do you mean you hope so?
01:00Don't you trust me?
01:02You don't, do you?
01:04Well, I hardly know you
01:06And you were supposed to be back here a good two hours ago
01:08What did you expect to think?
01:10It does take time to have a proper evaluation done
01:14I suppose I should have been more specific
01:16But I assumed you'd appreciate that
01:18I'm sorry, but you must understand my concern
01:22I suppose I must
01:24Forgive me Douglas, I do trust you
01:26And I'm very grateful for everything that you've done
01:28Apologies accepted
01:30Thank you
01:32Would you like to hear the verdict?
01:34Apparently your ex-husband really does know his gems
01:36It's of a particularly fine quality
01:38Yes, he always did have a good eye for inanimate objects
01:42Just how fine is it?
01:44My friend feels that he could sell it easily
01:46For five thousand dollars
01:48Five thousand?
01:50Well, that is a surprise
01:52Good morning
01:54Good morning
01:56Well, it feels like every muscle in my body is aching
01:58Oh, what you and that boss
02:00How did you get up to last night, eh?
02:02You've got a filthy mind, Dad
02:04You know, that happens to be from gardening
02:06Yeah, that'll be right
02:08Look, it may have escaped your notice
02:10For the last few months I've been sitting on my backside in a limo
02:12Yeah, soft, that's what you are
02:14You know, I reckon I'm fitter than all I do is
02:18So anyway
02:32How'd this big date go last night, then, eh?
02:34So-so
02:36So-so, you mean the world's greatest lover drew a blank?
02:38Look, there you go again, Dad
02:41Look, Beth happens to be a very nice lady, but not my type, that's all.
02:44Besides, the only reason I took her out was because I knew it would get up Clive's back.
02:48Yeah, look, I'm all for giving quite a hard time.
02:51Don't you really reckon that's the way to go about it?
02:53Morning, Max. Well, I'm ready, let's go.
02:56Or maybe you're too tired to work after your big night hours.
02:58Yeah, so he tells me.
02:59Looks like you certainly missed the boat there, eh?
03:01Cut it out, Dad.
03:02Look, have a seat, I'll be with you when I finish my breakfast.
03:04No thanks, a bit of stuffing in here. I'll wait for you in the car, you've got two minutes.
03:09That man's a bit of a fool than I thought he was. You mean he's actually going to wait for you?
03:13What's so strange about that?
03:15Well, look, if he wants to crack onto the boss, shouldn't he be trying to get her on her own, shouldn't he, eh?
03:20Good point. See you later.
03:23What, you said she wasn't here, it's all right?
03:30Ellen Daniel speaking.
03:32Good morning, it's Madge.
03:34Oh, Madge, I've been frantic. Where have you been? How did it go?
03:37Just as you said it would. He was deliberately late just to see how far he could push me.
03:43And was he terribly offended when you implied you didn't trust him?
03:47Oh, terribly. But he graciously accepted my abject apologies. Not until after I'd crawled a bit, mind you.
03:55And he told you the value of the stoner. Let me see, he would have said, um, four thousand?
04:00Five.
04:01Five? How generous of him. That's more than half its real value.
04:05Oh, Madge, I'm so glad you've got your diamond pack.
04:07Oh, Helen, I could have cried with relief when I saw it.
04:11Well, what do we do now?
04:14We continue to drive the knife in, slowly but surely.
04:22This is so awkward. Thank you for helping me out at reception.
04:26There's no need for thanks.
04:28I can't believe to tell you how foolish I feel about all this.
04:32You see, I've always had money.
04:34Not being able to settle a debt, it's foreign to me.
04:38There's no need to feel foolish. You certainly haven't appeared so to anyone.
04:42If only that was so.
04:43It is so.
04:44I seem to be constantly embarrassing myself somehow or other.
04:49Why can't you see that you're an attractive, intelligent, thoroughly delightful human being?
04:55Probably because I feel like an impoverished, middle-aged divorcee.
04:59Then you'll have to learn to see yourself differently.
05:01I'll try, just for you.
05:03Madge, if you really are in such dire financial straits,
05:09why on earth don't you sell your diamonds?
05:14Well, because, strictly speaking, they belong to Donald.
05:18You see, he gave them to me on the understanding that they couldn't be sold without his cooperation.
05:24And why would he have to know?
05:26Because he knows just about every gem merchant in the country.
05:30He's made it clear to them that they risk losing his custom if they buy from me or from any agent of mine.
05:35Ah, I see.
05:38I may be able to help you out.
05:42Well, I really think you've done enough for me already.
05:45Well, I don't see how you could.
05:47I could buy them myself.
05:49I do a little trading in gems from time to time.
05:52Ah, not all of them, surely.
05:54Why not?
05:55I'm almost certain I could raise the money within 24 hours.
05:59Oh, no, Douglas.
06:01It would be too much of an imposition.
06:03My dear lady, it would be a pleasure.
06:08You're pretty damn pleased with yourself, aren't you?
06:13I put myself out to take you into partnership and you've got to go and do this too.
06:17Oh, let's face it, Glide. You're just a bad loser, that's all.
06:20Oh, right. Any other character flaws you'd like to point out while you're at it?
06:23Rob.
06:24I'm really not that interested in you or her.
06:26Oh, is that a fact?
06:27Well, you'd better go and tell her that, hadn't you?
06:29Like right now.
06:32Well, well, well. Look who's jealous.
06:35Oh, don't be ridiculous.
06:37I just don't think it's fair on Beth, that's all.
06:39She can hardly take her eyes off you.
06:41I'll tell her.
06:42When?
06:43In my own time, Clive.
06:45Now, is there any reason why we can't get back to work?
06:48It's raining.
06:49Oh, really?
06:50Yeah.
06:58I shouldn't have asked you to do this.
07:00Oh, Helen, I'm having a ball.
07:02I feel like Miss Marple and Emma Peel all rolled into one.
07:06And how did this morning's meeting go?
07:08Ah, just as you said it would.
07:10Do you know he is so good at what he does,
07:13I almost found myself believing him.
07:15Well, I believed every blasted word he said.
07:17Well, I'm not surprised, having met him.
07:19You'd almost have to be psychic to see through that act.
07:22Yes, perhaps.
07:24Where is he now, off seeing his accountant to arrange finance?
07:28Where else?
07:29We're getting very close, Helen.
07:30Yes, but Douglas is nobody's fool.
07:33I'm afraid he might sense that we're setting him up.
07:36Oh, never.
07:38Perhaps, Madge, you should try a career on the stage when this is all over.
07:42Hmm.
07:43Well, I might just do that.
07:44You know, Helen, I'm awfully glad we're friends.
07:47I'd hate to have you as an enemy.
07:49Well, I think Douglas Blake is the first person to have had that privilege.
07:53I've been taken for a fool before, but never that.
07:58And fifty thousand-odd dollars.
08:03Shane, why don't you give it away for a minute?
08:07Come and talk to me.
08:10While you're at it, you can tell her what you told me earlier.
08:16You deserve a break.
08:17You've been working twice as hard as your so-called partner.
08:20Clive's just not used to the work yet.
08:22Yeah, it shows.
08:24I really enjoyed our date the other night.
08:29When do you think we could go out again?
08:31Well, you don't want to spend all your time with Hyatt help now, do you?
08:34Look, if I like a man, I like him.
08:36It doesn't matter what he does for a living.
08:38So, how about tonight?
08:41Um, no, I can't.
08:43Well, tomorrow?
08:44Beth, this is really quite awkward, but my going out here is causing problems between me and Clive.
08:49He thinks it's unprofessional.
08:51Well, tell him it's got nothing to do with him.
08:53No, I can't do that.
08:54All right, then I will.
08:55Beth, I can't do it because I happen to agree with him.
08:58I see.
08:59Beth, I think you're terrific, and I really enjoyed our date, but you can't go mixing business with pleasure.
09:04Well, is that the only reason?
09:05You mean, you'd go out with me again if you weren't working for me, right?
09:09Yeah, of course I would.
09:11Well, that's simple.
09:12Clive, can I have you here for a minute, please?
09:15Yes.
09:16What I wanted to say was, firstly, you should learn to mind your own damn business.
09:20And secondly, you're both fired.
09:32Well, I'd better be getting ready for my luncheon appointment.
09:34Don't forget to wear your most gullible expression.
09:37Anyone up?
09:38G'day, Art.
09:39Hi, Max.
09:40Hi, G'day.
09:41And where the dickens have you been, then, eh?
09:44Why?
09:45Did you miss me?
09:46Yeah.
09:47Yeah, I have, as a matter of fact.
09:48Mmm, life's tough without a maid to run the house.
09:51Oh, charming.
09:52Say something nice about it, she rubs your nose in it.
09:55Actually, you know, believe it or not, I quite enjoy having a semi-intelligent adult to talk to when I get home.
10:00Oh, I suppose I'm expected to take that as a compliment.
10:03Yeah, well, when are you coming home, then?
10:04Soon.
10:05How flaming soon.
10:06Very soon, I hope.
10:08Oh, yeah.
10:09I get the feeling you two are up to something, then, eh?
10:12Helen and I have been planning a surprise for a friend.
10:17I should have all the arrangements finalised within a day or so.
10:20Oh, yeah?
10:21What old friend?
10:22I mean, what are you two up to, then, eh?
10:24Max, a person doesn't have to know everything that's going on around him.
10:27Now, that's all I'm going to tell you.
10:28Now, look, Madge, it's time you stopped treating me as a family moron, you know?
10:32And it's time you stopped sticking your nose into my business.
10:34You've always done that.
10:36Well, let's hope one of these days you'll wake up and realise I'm not five years old anymore and start treating me as a grown-up, someone you can trust.
10:41But, oh, oh, no.
10:42No, no, that's too much to ask for.
10:44So, uh, suit yourself.
10:46I'll see you when I see you.
10:49Oh, I'm sorry, Helen.
10:51Please.
10:52Max's moods are Max's moods.
10:53It wouldn't be the same without them.
10:56I mean, what precisely did you say to her?
11:00Only what you wanted me to say to her, mate.
11:02Oh, yeah, great.
11:03Blame it all on good old Clive.
11:04Listen, you haven't stopped bellyaching since we formed this so-called partnership.
11:08So we lost the job.
11:09So what?
11:10There'll be others.
11:11Oh, there'll be others.
11:12Thousands of lovely, lonely ladies queuing up for us to do their gardens.
11:15If she means that much to you, why don't you get over there and ask her out?
11:18You're nuts.
11:19Why the hell would I want to go out with someone who's just given me the sack?
11:22Ah, I thought she was joking to be lying around the ladies' pool sipping champers.
11:25Yeah, well, the lady just gave us the boot.
11:27Oh, yeah, why?
11:28Just didn't really have a reason.
11:29I'll give you one.
11:30His initial is to Shane Ramsey.
11:32Give it a rest, Clive.
11:33Yeah, boss has always added him for the workers.
11:35Nothing's changed.
11:36That's not true.
11:37Some of us are scrupulously fair.
11:38Take me.
11:39Yeah, great boss you turn out to be.
11:41Get yourself fired along with your worker.
11:43Pure genius.
11:45You know, sometimes I really wonder about the company I keep.
11:50What we need around here is some action.
11:52Shane, have you still got a list of the contacts from the last time you were contract gardening?
11:55I think so, somewhere.
11:56Well, start searching, pal.
11:57We've got to drum up some action.
11:59We can't afford to let the grass grow under our feet.
12:01This is going to be big, Max.
12:03I can see Shane and I being millionaires before the decade's out.
12:06What, with you in charge?
12:07What?
12:20I've kept you waiting.
12:22I'm so sorry.
12:23Have you ordered a drink?
12:25No, I thought I'd wait until you arrived and then I'd know whether to put champagne or something nice and inexpensive like water.
12:31A lady as fair as yourself can only drink champagne in my company.
12:35Waiter, champagne, French, vintage, I'll leave it to your discretion.
12:40Well, you seem to be in very high spirits. Do I take it that the news is good?
12:44Not bad, but you'll have to remain destitute just a little while longer, I'm afraid.
12:48Oh dear.
12:49Well, I look so dismayed.
12:51It's just that in order to raise the money quickly, I've had to sell off one or two of my antiques.
12:55Douglas!
12:57If I'd realised you had to sell off your belongings, I never would have asked you.
13:01You didn't ask me. I offered.
13:02What?
13:03That's as maybe that I...
13:04Look, it's just a couple of things that have been gathering dust for ages.
13:06I should have got rid of them longer.
13:09Are you sure?
13:10I have a definite buyer and I'm meeting him this afternoon.
13:13So by five I shall be able, quite painlessly, to give you fifty thousand dollars in exchange for those tiresome pieces of stone.
13:20Douglas, I'm not entirely happy about this.
13:23Oh, you worry too much and about all the wrong things.
13:26Now, when can I see all ten stones?
13:28Oh, any time you like.
13:30I'll be delighted to be rid of them.
13:33There are so many tricksters in the world.
13:37Douglas, I haven't been entirely honest with you.
13:44I had the stones valued before I met you.
13:51Oh, he's offered four thousand each.
13:53Oh, yes.
13:54A pittance.
13:55My husband told me he was trying to rob me.
13:57The nerve of some people.
13:59I mean, just because I'm a woman, it doesn't mean that I'm a complete imbecile when it comes to business.
14:04Oh, it's so nice to be dealing with a man I can trust.
14:09I am delighted to propose a toast to a lady who is shortly to become fifty thousand dollars richer.
14:15And may I return the toast to a man who is about to become fifty thousand dollars poorer.
14:21Now, look, I just...
14:36Hello.
14:37Oh, good day.
14:39What can I do for you?
14:41I think I'm probably looking for your son, Shane Ramsey.
14:44I'm Beth Travers.
14:46Oh.
14:47Oh, you're Beth Travers.
14:55Hello, Helen Daniels.
14:56Oh, thank heavens.
14:57For a minute I thought you weren't there.
14:59What matter is wrong?
15:00Nothing.
15:01It's just that I'm like a cat on our bricks.
15:03He's gone off to get the money.
15:05Are you sure he doesn't suspect anything?
15:07No, not a thing.
15:08The false document from the jewelers worked perfectly.
15:10He's convinced there are ten genuine stones.
15:13Oh.
15:14Well, you mustn't let your guard down, Madge.
15:16Not now.
15:17No, I won't.
15:18Don't worry.
15:19Now, remember.
15:20When he hands it to you, just leave the hotel without any fuss.
15:23Just leave, get into a cab, and come straight here, right?
15:26Right.
15:27He said he'd be back about five.
15:29Oh, good.
15:30Now, stay calm.
15:31In a couple of hours it'll be all over.
15:33I'll see you about 5.30.
15:36Good luck.
15:45Well, here you go, Mr. Travers.
15:46Thanks.
15:47Yeah, shame shouldn't be long.
15:49Shop's only five minutes away, you know.
15:51Please call me Beth.
15:52Mrs. Travers has got sort of an empty sound to it these days.
15:55Huh?
15:56Yeah, my divorce came through a couple of months ago.
15:58Oh.
16:00Rugged old business, isn't it, eh?
16:02Hmm.
16:03It's probably worse before the fact than after, although it's a fine line.
16:07Yeah, it's tough all the way along the line, if you ask me.
16:10You're probably right.
16:11Still, you get over it, so they say.
16:14The question is when.
16:22Hello.
16:23Hello.
16:24I've come to offer you your job back.
16:25Only sacked us a couple of hours ago.
16:27Oh, I know.
16:28I acted on impulse.
16:29Look, I don't want Clive back.
16:31Just his partner.
16:34Thanks, Beth, but no thanks.
16:35Clive and I are a team.
16:37Oh, Shane, for heaven's sake, don't be so silly.
16:41It may sound silly to you, but we had an agreement.
16:44Don't be a drunk, son.
16:45Lady's offering you your job back.
16:46The gorilla doesn't want it anyway.
16:48Oh, how would you know?
16:49Look, we're a partnership and a deal's a deal.
16:52You'd understand that, wouldn't you?
16:54So it's all or nothing, huh?
16:56Afraid so.
16:58You drive a hard bargain, Shane.
17:00But okay, I'll take you both back.
17:04Are you sure about that?
17:05I mean, you're not going to get home and suddenly change your mind, are you?
17:07I'll put it in writing if you like.
17:09Starting tomorrow?
17:10First thing.
17:11And to celebrate, how about I take you out to dinner?
17:15Oh, Shane.
17:16You're not going to tell me that Clive has to come too, are you?
17:26Well, Mr. Blake.
17:27Mr. Douglas Blake.
17:28You must be mistaken.
17:29Oh, it is Mr. Douglas Blake.
17:32Who is it, Mr. Burton?
17:34Or Mr. Manning.
17:36I don't know you. Excuse me, I'm in a hurry.
17:37Oh, I've got an appointment myself, too, with a...
17:40Uh, Mrs. Helen Daniels?
17:42What do you want?
17:43Mrs. Daniels appears very keen to track you down.
17:46Some outstanding business matter?
17:49Well, leave or I'll have you thrown out.
17:51I could tell her about your exact whereabouts.
17:55On the other hand, it could take a little while for her to reach it.
17:58Say, 24 hours?
18:01500, you'd cover it.
18:03Ridiculous.
18:05Please yourself.
18:08Right here.
18:10I'll get your money.
18:11I'll get your money.
