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
00:36Paul, you're wrong. Completely wrong.
00:38Huh? That's the reason I had to leave.
00:40Oh, it's not. You weren't suited to that job, be honest.
00:43I didn't need to make up excuses to fire you.
00:46And you haven't changed. You still won't take responsibility for your own failures.
00:49Well, it wasn't just me. The whole place was going downhill, wasn't it?
00:52Yes, thanks to Brian. He was hardly more competent than you were.
00:54I could have saved that business if he'd given me free reign with it.
00:58Well, look at what I've achieved since we've broken up and he's achieved nothing.
01:01Oh, that doesn't change anything.
01:03I mean, he's still got rid of me to cause a rift with you.
01:06Look, I pity you if you believe that.
01:09Oh, Mum, I'm going to my hotel.
01:11Alright, darling.
01:12You wait here. I've got a few things to say to you.
01:15Look, I'll come back in in the morning.
01:16Promise?
01:17I promise. I'll sleep off my jet lag and I'll be here as soon as I can after that.
01:20Good girl.
01:21Good night.
01:22Good night, darling.
01:26Graham, before you...
01:27Jay, you speak to Rosemary like that, you behave like a malicious child.
01:29Oh, come on. She's only your adopted child.
01:31Yes, she's adopted. I adopted her, but I love her.
01:34Now, this is my house as much as it's yours, and you'll respect that.
01:38I will not have you drive my daughter away.
01:40Dad!
01:41Mr. Ramsey, give us a kick.
01:42All right.
01:43There you go.
01:44Garden's looking great, Jim.
01:45Thanks, Max.
01:46Now, have you seen the sports pages?
01:47No.
01:48Why?
01:49Well, I thought I might pop down the tab this morning, then set the telly up by the pool this
01:56afternoon.
01:57Sounds great. I'll see you after lunch.
01:58Good morning.
01:59Good morning.
02:00Good morning.
02:01Good morning.
02:02Hi, Madge.
02:03Madge, you're just in time to help me with this.
02:04How'd it go last night?
02:05Apart from the behaviour of my oldest grandson.
02:06Oh, dear.
02:07Wake up, Paul.
02:08Yes.
02:09Hey!
02:10You're OK.
02:11Nice.
02:12I'm going to have you see the sports pages.
02:13What?
02:14I thought I might pop down the tab this morning, then set the telly up by the pool this afternoon.
02:16Great.
02:17I'll see you after lunch.
02:18Good morning.
02:19Good morning.
02:20Hi, Madge.
02:21Good morning.
02:22Good morning.
02:23Good morning.
02:24Good morning.
02:25Good morning.
02:26Good morning.
02:28Good morning.
02:29Good morning.
02:30Good morning.
02:31Good morning.
02:33Good morning.
02:34Good morning.
02:35You're like a cup of tea and a chat.
02:36That's exactly what I do feel like.
02:38Now, you go ahead and I'll be there when the kettle's boiled.
02:41You make a great centre-forward, Nicky.
02:43For a girl, you mean.
02:44Fair dinkum.
02:45You could outrun half the blokes at school.
02:47Have you got anything cold to drink?
02:49I'll go and look.
02:50Hey, listen, how'd you go with Lauren Fauntleroy last night?
02:52Oh, you mean Billy Hughes.
02:54He had to leave after dinner.
02:55Yeah, we weren't quite of his class.
02:57No, we boys weren't rude to him.
02:58They were.
02:59If he's a gentleman, I'd sooner be a slob.
03:01That's all right for you, Scott.
03:03I'm the one who invited him.
03:04He probably won't want to see me again after the way you treated him.
03:07Well, listen, if you want a new boyfriend,
03:08you could always look him up in the who's who, wouldn't you all?
03:11I'll probably end up marrying the boy next door.
03:13You know, I reckon William's had it too easy.
03:16I look up to people who have earned their money, like Rosemary.
03:19She's a talented woman.
03:20Talented in business?
03:22Well, that takes a whole lot of different skills.
03:24She's been very successful since she's been overseas, I must admit.
03:27Yeah, and look where it's got her.
03:28She's pushy, aggressive.
03:29She had to be like that to be successful in business.
03:31She's got drive, that's all.
03:32Isn't that what you tried to teach Paul and me, Dad?
03:34Hello.
03:35Morning.
03:36Welcome.
03:37We were just about...
03:37We were just going to get a cold drink.
03:39Would you like one?
03:40No, thanks, Nicky.
03:41Where's Mum?
03:42Oh, she's next door visiting Madge.
03:45Oh, Madge, of course.
03:46I'll take you next door if you like.
03:47Yeah.
03:48What about your drink?
03:49Oh, don't bother.
03:49We can get something there.
03:50See you soon.
03:51Yeah.
03:51Bye.
03:52Bye.
03:55Now, listen, you guys.
03:57We've got to stop all this talk about Rosemary.
03:59She could easily have overheard us.
04:00Dad, you feel the same way about her as I do.
04:03Now, surely we can express our feelings in our own house?
04:05For your grandmother's sake, just keep the peace.
04:08She won't be staying long, will she?
04:10I mean, it is only a quick visit.
04:11Well, as far as I know, she won't be staying long.
04:13So you especially, Paul, watch what you say.
04:16Okay, okay.
04:16I won't say anything.
04:18Mind you, she never holds back from speaking her own mind,
04:20so I don't see why I should.
04:21Well, there's a very good reason.
04:22Because I said...
04:24Look who I've brought.
04:27Well, Rosemary, I thought you'd still be sleeping.
04:28Oh, how lovely to see you.
04:31It's been years.
04:32Would you like a cup of tea?
04:34Well, yes, if it's no trouble.
04:35Of course it's no trouble.
04:37Madge, would you put the jug on for a fresh pot?
04:39Please, sit down.
04:40Oh, of course.
04:45I had a talk to Paul last night.
04:47There won't be a repetition of that little outburst.
04:50Yes, he still feels the same, though.
04:51He pointedly ignored me when I walked in just now.
04:55What's all this about?
04:57Well, Rosemary had to dismiss him from a job once.
05:00He wasn't pulling his weight.
05:02He can't complain, then.
05:03I'm sure you did the right thing.
05:05Oh, yeah.
05:06Danny, why don't you go back next door?
05:08We're going to be reminiscing.
05:10Okay.
05:10But I hope we get a chance to talk soon.
05:12I'd appreciate your advice on the stock market.
05:15Why?
05:15Do you have some money to invest?
05:17I've been saving.
05:18I don't have much yet.
05:19But they say it's the best way to make a quick killing.
05:22Don't count on it, Danny.
05:23I mean, the stockbrokers might do well, but new investors can easily get their fingers burned.
05:27Well, that's why I'd value your advice more than anyone.
05:30Well, we'll talk soon.
05:31He's blowing up.
05:39Not as quickly as he thinks he is, but at least he's taking life a bit more seriously.
05:43Yes, I can see that.
05:44And how's Fred?
05:47Well, actually, I'm single again.
05:50We've separated.
05:51Oh, I'm sorry.
05:52Oh, it's all for the best.
05:54And you haven't married?
05:56No, I haven't found time.
05:58I wouldn't either if I were you.
06:00You hang on to your independence.
06:02You can be independent and married with the right man.
06:04Yes, well, my trouble is that most men seem scared to get close to me
06:09because I'm successful in their world of business.
06:12They see me as a threat.
06:14Ah, the price of success.
06:16Yes.
06:18I've been realising lately that it's time I made a few changes.
06:24Weird how some people make a fortune.
06:26Self-made millionaires.
06:27You can't learn it at school.
06:29If you're thinking about Rosemary, she had a lot of specialised training before she set up business.
06:33Hmm, but she's still got natural flair.
06:35Yep, she's an entrepreneur.
06:37She doesn't need formal training.
06:38I'll check my facts, Danny.
06:39I'll lower you.
06:40Not too much.
06:40Well, I was mainly bored at school.
06:42I didn't come alive till I got a job.
06:44Yeah, I know what you mean.
06:46I used to get a real buzz working at the coffee shop.
06:48I meant a real job.
06:50Oh, well, too bad.
06:51Your dad gets first crack at your pay packet.
06:52You never make any real money.
06:54Hey, that's not true.
06:54Danny gets good pay from the bank.
06:56All the same, Danny.
06:57I checked with Rosemary of R.U.
06:58about this business of getting properly trained.
06:59You might be surprised to find how hard she's so to you.
07:01Hmm, I will talk to her.
07:03It's a good idea.
07:05And if she recommends a course, I'll do it.
07:08Oh, Danny, could you give me a hand?
07:10Sure.
07:15Danny, I was wondering,
07:18would you like to go to the movies with me tonight?
07:21If you like.
07:22Scott, do you want to go to the movies tonight?
07:24Yeah, okay.
07:25Oh, I can't imagine myself having your workload.
07:33Yes, well, it is hectic, I must admit.
07:35That's why I like to relax and do nothing
07:37when I get home at the end of the day.
07:39Well, I know I can never keep up your pace, Rosemary.
07:42My private time and my space are important to me.
07:45You don't seem to have much of either
07:47as far as I can see, Mum.
07:48What do you mean?
07:49Well, time and space.
07:50Your house is like Grand Central Station
07:52and your time's occupied round-the-clock
07:54mothering and grandmothering the tribe.
07:56Oh, well, it feels like that sometimes,
07:58but I still have time to do my painting.
08:00And I happen to enjoy mothering and grandmothering
08:04most of the time.
08:05Hmm, don't take me too lightly, Mum.
08:07How much time do you really get to paint?
08:09Now, truthfully.
08:10Five or six hours a week.
08:11Only five or six in a whole week?
08:13Why, you probably spend three times that much
08:15cooking meals for a family
08:17who are quite capable of doing it for themselves.
08:19Not if they're like Max and the boys.
08:21They couldn't begin to fend for themselves.
08:24But you haven't always lived here.
08:25Madge, they cope when they had to.
08:27But as long as you are here,
08:28they'll take advantage of you.
08:29Didn't you notice the way Danny Packy
08:31ordered you to put the jug on to make a pot of tea?
08:33I mean, why couldn't he do it for himself?
08:35He could.
08:36I don't believe my family take advantage of me.
08:39No, but they certainly take you for granted.
08:41Did you hear what Scott said last night
08:43after he'd finished cleaning the kitchen?
08:45Your kitchen is spotless, Gran.
08:47Your kitchen.
08:48In his mind, that's your space.
08:50The kitchen, Mum.
08:50Oh, yes, but what can we do?
08:53I mean, this place would be chaotic
08:54if I wasn't here running it.
08:55Maybe, maybe not.
08:57At least you'd have some time and space of your own.
08:59A chance to find yourself.
09:01Or do you find that prospect daunting, Madge?
09:04Oh, Rosemary, you haven't changed.
09:06As blunt as ever.
09:07I'm sorry.
09:09But you both seem afraid to make any changes.
09:11The world won't end, you know.
09:13I mean, wouldn't you both like
09:14to have more time to yourselves?
09:17Wouldn't you both like
09:17to experiment a little with your lives?
09:25There we go.
09:26Got everything you want.
09:27Now, all you've got to do
09:28is put it away and make the lunch.
09:29No.
09:30So what are we having?
09:31I'm not making lunch today, Max.
09:34Why not?
09:35You're not putting me on another of your diets, are you?
09:37Max, you are not very sensitive to my needs.
09:40I should not have to point out
09:42that I deserve more out of life
09:44than cooking and cleaning for you and the boys.
09:47What brought this on, eh?
09:50Well, I will not be taken for granted.
09:54I intend to claim some time and space for myself.
09:58Rosemary Daniels...
09:58Hold on, say no more.
10:00You've been talking to Rosemary Daniels.
10:01I'll get the picture.
10:02Well, she said...
10:03No, no, no need to give me this speech.
10:05I'll be preaching to the converted.
10:07Liberty and equality for women, I'm all for it.
10:09What are you saying?
10:11I agree with you.
10:12Women ought to be liberate.
10:14You want time and space?
10:16Take all you want.
10:17I don't know whether to take you seriously.
10:20I mean it.
10:21Don't do so much for us.
10:23Straight after you make the lunch,
10:25the rest of the afternoon's your own.
10:26Personally, I'm going to settle down by the pool
10:28with the telly and watch the Gigi's.
10:30What are you going to do?
10:31Well, I'm not sure, but...
10:34You were just making a song and dance
10:35about how much you needed time and space.
10:38Well, you've got the old Arvo,
10:39so what are you going to do?
10:40I don't know.
10:41How many are we?
10:50There are five in there, two in here.
10:52That makes sense.
10:53I think I'll slice some cold beef
10:55and some other meats
10:56and make a salad
10:57and then we'll have our fruits out of my spirit.
10:59Oh, perfect.
11:00Except take the apron off.
11:01There are plenty of capable hands out there.
11:03Rosemary, is it so hard to make the change, Mum?
11:06I need time to think about it.
11:08Yes.
11:09I always thought that liberation was in the mind.
11:12I always thought it liberated you.
11:14Not me.
11:15Now you're asking me to do something about it.
11:17Well, it's different.
11:20I can't make a dramatic change
11:22to my lifestyle and my relationship
11:24with each member of the family
11:25just on the impulse.
11:26I have to think about it.
11:28Fair enough, cautious but sensible.
11:31Well, to help you think about it,
11:33I'll show you something.
11:38All right, everyone.
11:40We are going to make lunch today.
11:41Scott, would you make a bowl of salad?
11:43Jim, do you think you could find the cold meat
11:45and slice it?
11:46And, Nicky, what about a crude salad for sweets?
11:48Danny, you could go...
11:49I'm going home for lunch.
11:50I'm going now.
11:51Forget about giving me a job
11:53because I don't like cooking.
11:54I'm going to go and get some takeaway.
11:55Suit yourself.
11:58Are you all right, Crane?
11:59She's perfectly well.
12:00We're just going to give her a break from the kitchen.
12:03I don't mind.
12:04Fine with me.
12:05Yeah, I haven't done them.
12:06No time.
12:06There we are.
12:09All put away and you didn't have to lift a finger.
12:11Now, where's me omelette?
12:12I didn't make you one.
12:13Well, why not?
12:15I'll put away the shopping,
12:16not to mention buying it in the first place.
12:18The only reason you were so keen to do that
12:19was though you'd place your bets down at the TAB.
12:22Well, why not?
12:23It's me hobby.
12:24I let you follow your pursuit.
12:25You should let me follow mine.
12:26Right to the winning post, with a bit of luck.
12:28Hi.
12:29What's for lunch?
12:30Omelettes.
12:31Make your own today.
12:32Oh, not here too.
12:33Well, Rosemary's got next door running like a communal canteen.
12:37I'll tell you what, Danny.
12:39I mean, it's only reasonable us men should do our bit in the kitchen.
12:41So why don't you do ours today?
12:42I'll do it another day.
12:43No way.
12:45I mean, no thanks, Dad.
12:46I'll go without.
12:48But now...
12:48Mmm, delicious.
12:50Even if I say so myself.
12:52All right.
12:53I'll make me an order.
12:57Now, where's the eggs?
12:59We haven't got any.
13:01I used the last two and you forgot to buy any more.
13:07Scott, did you wash the lettuce?
13:09It's all gritty.
13:10Yeah, well, I shook it under the tap and got the slugs out of it.
13:13I must admit, though, this beef's a bit tough.
13:15Couldn't you have cut thinner slices, Dad?
13:17Well, not with a normal table knife, mate.
13:19And Nicky was using the carving knife to slice the fruit.
13:21Well, look, it's a nice lunch.
13:23I'm enjoying it.
13:24I'm glad someone is.
13:26Hi.
13:27Hi, Greg.
13:27Can I change my mind and share some lunch?
13:29Yeah.
13:29The manager's gone astride.
13:30Yeah, join me.
13:31Oh, Danny, surely you can get your own lunch.
13:33Well, yes, Rosemary.
13:35But this communal work party stuff, it's no good.
13:37It makes more sense to have one person in charge of the kitchen.
13:40No, he has got a point that wasn't very efficient all of us in the kitchen at once falling over each other.
13:44Yeah.
13:44Hi.
13:45How's the salad?
13:45Nice.
13:46I'll just grab a fork and eat this inside, I think.
13:48Have you got Chinese?
13:50Yes, mate.
13:51I've got braised beef and black bean sauce, sweet and sour chicken with cashews and fried rice.
13:55Let you know if there's any left.
14:01That's it?
14:02No more home-cooked meals?
14:05How long's this strike going to last?
14:07Well, keep it cool, son.
14:08Things will be back to normal before you know it.
14:09When?
14:10Well, as soon as my sister realises she's at a loose end, she'll be back in the kitchen and glad to be there.
14:18In the meantime, just do what she says, okay?
14:21It was Rosemary who did it.
14:22Of course that's Rosemary.
14:24It's true.
14:24That woman's not at me unless she's starting to write.
14:26But you know what Rosemary Daniels needs, don't you?
14:29A husband.
14:29I heard that.
14:31That is typical of you and your prehistoric attitudes.
14:33Give her a husband to look after.
14:35That'll keep her occupied.
14:36A man'll put her in a place.
14:37And now, look, all I meant...
14:38I know what you meant.
14:40You believe that all men are superior to all women.
14:42Well...
14:43Well, you're wrong.
14:44We can do anything a man can do and better.
14:45Now, would you please give me a chair?
14:46A chair.
14:47Yes, sir.
14:48Sir.
14:56You don't agree with me, do you, Jim?
14:59Well, not altogether.
15:00I agree women should be free to choose, but I don't think they should have new roles forced on them
15:04when they're perfectly happy with things the way they are.
15:06But what if they could be happier, and how will they ever know if they don't experiment?
15:11Well, perhaps we'd better just agree to differ.
15:13I thought you were going over to Maxis.
15:15Oh, yeah.
15:15Why don't you come with me?
15:16Yeah, okay.
15:16Why not?
15:17All right.
15:17Yes, do.
15:18Go ahead.
15:18I mean, it's lovely weather.
15:19I don't know why you're not all raving about it.
15:21Isn't it just a perfect day?
15:24Well, frankly, no, it isn't.
15:26And I can see by Jim's face that he's thinking exactly the same as I am.
15:31No, it's not your fault, Rosemary.
15:33I'm not blaming you, but things have been the opposite of perfect ever since you were
15:36arrived.
15:37Oh, no.
15:37I was so looking forward to seeing you.
15:39I thought it would be a celebration, a happy visit.
15:42Instead, we've had nothing but arguments and tension.
15:46Then it is my fault.
15:47Yep.
15:48I reckon you've got a takeover mentality.
15:50I mean, you just walk into a household and you want to take it over, don't you?
15:52Paul, Paul, we're trying, I hope, to find a way of getting on together.
15:56Look, I haven't meant to cause trouble.
15:58Now, I mean that sincerely.
16:00I just got frustrated for Mum when I came back and I saw that she was slaving away for
16:04a family who could all look after themselves.
16:06Aren't you exaggerating?
16:07You're not a slave, Helen.
16:08None of us think that.
16:09I know.
16:10Besides which, I enjoy being head cook and bottle washer.
16:13At the same time, there was something that Rosemary said that made me stop and think.
16:17I hope my family acknowledge that I can have a life of my own.
16:21Of course you can.
16:22We may take you for granted sometimes, I admit that.
16:25But you're as free as the rest of us to follow your own interests.
16:27I mean, look at your painting.
16:29Can I make a suggestion?
16:31Can we put the last 24 hours behind us and pretend they never happened?
16:35A fresh start.
16:36Paul?
16:37Yeah, sure, why not?
16:39Good.
16:39In that case, why don't you two stay here and have a chat and a cup of coffee before you
16:43go next door?
16:44I'll make it.
16:45Oh, sounds good to me.
16:46It's okay, Gran, as long as you don't mind making it.
16:49I mean, I wouldn't want to upset the rules of the new regime, would I?
16:52Only joking, only joking.
16:55You've got to hand it to Rosemary.
16:57Her ability to organise things.
17:00No wonder her business is doing so well.
17:03Would you mind rubbing some sun cream on my back?
17:06Sure.
17:08You know what I mean, she's got that confidence thing.
17:11Shows people that she knows exactly what she wants.
17:15Menzie's had that same quality of leadership.
17:17Uh, what movie will we see tonight?
17:20Oh, I don't know.
17:22We'll see what Scott thinks.
17:24Wish I hadn't invited Scott.
17:25I thought it could just be you and me together.
17:28But it's Saturday night.
17:30Now, you really should listen to Rosemary when she talks.
17:33She's worth listening to.
17:35Well, you look at that.
17:36Last week it was Marsha.
17:37This week it's Nicky.
17:38No, Nicky was yesterday.
17:41Anyway, it's perfectly natural for Danny to be interested in girls.
17:45You were yourself once, many years ago.
17:47I'm not past it.
17:48You know, women still find me attractive.
17:49You know, the tab gave me a good look up on him this morning.
17:57Are you sure she wasn't looking from side to side to see how far you stretched?
18:00Yeah.
18:01She wasn't moving up to be about fifth outside of it, does she?
18:04So I can do it.
18:05Wait.
18:06Shape you're in, no woman would look twice at you.
18:09You're an unsightly flab.
18:11It's not flab.
18:12It's muscle.
18:13Well, mostly muscle.
18:14Well, Mum, I'm sorry I brought disharmony into the house.
18:20It was the last thing I wanted to do.
18:22It wasn't you, darling.
18:23It was Paul.
18:24I don't want to make excuses, but you should know he's still suffering.
18:29He's not over what happened to him.
18:30He's broken marriage.
18:32It's changed him.
18:35You know, Terry isn't unlike you in many ways.
18:38Paul finds it hard to trust a woman, any woman.
18:41I understand, and I'll make allowances, but do you mind if we talk about you for a moment?
18:46What about me?
18:48Well, I'm going to ask you to do something for me.
18:51Ask away?
18:51You know I'll do anything for you if I can.
18:57What if it means leaving this house, leaving the Robinson family?
