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
00:36Ask away.
00:38You know I'll do anything for you if I can.
00:42What if it means leaving this house, leaving the Robinson family?
00:48I want you to head up this end of my consultancy, Mum.
00:52Australia's a long way from the States
00:54And I need someone out here that I can trust.
00:56You want something more than you can trust.
00:58Surely you'll need a person who has experience in your field
01:01Who knows exactly what they're doing.
01:03Look, a lot of experienced people in this field are vultures, Mum.
01:06If I pick employers who are only concerned about what's in it for them
01:09Then my profit and my business can go down the drain.
01:11No, I need someone that I can rely on like you.
01:15But I don't know the first thing about company takeovers
01:18Or cash injections or whatever else it is that you do.
01:22All you need is tact and common sense.
01:24Look, once you've handled one deal, all the rest will follow the same pattern.
01:27Believe me, I've worked to a set of guidelines in the States
01:30And Australia will be no exception.
01:32You'll just need to take one step at a time.
01:35Well, if I do take up your offer, why do I have to leave the family?
01:40Well, I have to be truthful. I mean, it's a bit of a rat race, Mum.
01:43You'll have to put in a normal working day.
01:45Then there'll be evening work as well.
01:47I mean, it's time-consuming, demanding work.
01:49There simply isn't room in your life for a family.
01:52But now, on the other hand, the rewards.
01:55Now that's something else.
01:56I mean, there'll be lots of travel and there'll be lots of money.
01:59Well, I don't know if I can walk out on a family for a job.
02:08I've always admired your business sense.
02:10And I know you wouldn't have asked me if you didn't think I was capable.
02:13But I don't feel confident of my ability.
02:17But you'd have plenty of time to learn.
02:19Look, all I'm asking you at the moment is that you think about it.
02:24Well, I admit you do make it sound extremely tempting.
02:31Good.
02:35There we are.
02:36Oh, doesn't that look lovely? Thank you, Nicky.
02:39What is it?
02:40Iced tea.
02:41It's nice to know people who drink the English blend, Mrs. Mitchell.
02:44Look at this.
02:45Gold's up six and a half percent today.
02:48Four days ago it wouldn't budge.
02:50Think of what you could have if you had money to buy and sell.
02:53Gambling doesn't pay, Danny.
02:55Talking about the precious metals market.
02:57Not just ordinary gamble.
02:58It's one and the same.
03:00I'll stick to the ponies any day.
03:02Get with it, Dad.
03:03The form guides out.
03:04You'll never win any big money betting on the horses.
03:07We'll see about that.
03:08You know that Regal Hotel you stayed at?
03:10Yeah.
03:11Well, the bloke who whistles up the cabs out the front
03:13giving me a tip for today.
03:14Oh, there he is.
03:15Nifty lad paying 25 to 1.
03:17Backed him to win.
03:18You should have at least backed it each way.
03:20Well, then you'd have three chances of getting your money back.
03:22I could show you how to do that properly, Dad.
03:26Compute your odds and there'd be very little risk.
03:29Now listen, son.
03:30I'm an Aussie, right?
03:31Now, race and tips are tradition in this country.
03:34And while we're on the subject, I like me tea hot and me beer cold.
03:39She did make perfection.
03:41Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety.
03:45Other women cloy.
03:49Well, it's Cleopatra.
03:50I have to make a case against her.
03:52Rome versus Egypt.
03:53Alright.
03:54Don't you reckon you should get those wet togs off first?
03:57Yeah, well, I haven't got time.
03:58I'm going to the pictures with Danny and Nicky tonight.
04:00I want to get this finished first.
04:01Is that all you've got to do?
04:03Well, I've got some maths to do.
04:04Do you reckon it's a good idea going to the movies when you've got homework?
04:07Well, I'll get through it.
04:08Don't worry.
04:09Well, I'm not the one who has to worry.
04:12Well, I suppose you know what you're doing.
04:14Come on, Nicky. Out the way.
04:15They're approaching the barrier for the third event on the card.
04:16Hey, Tiff.
04:17How real handicap?
04:18How long nifty lad?
04:19He won't win.
04:20That's the one up here, eh?
04:21Oh, twenty cents.
04:22They're on.
04:23Hey, Tiff.
04:24There he is.
04:25Come on, come on.
04:26Stop my car.
04:27Get on with it.
04:28Get on with it.
04:29He looks good.
04:30Hey, I thought you didn't believe in gambling.
04:31Oh, it's only twenty cents.
04:32NO.
04:33Where's King's Benefit?
04:34Oh, keys.
04:35Ah, there he is.
04:36Look!
04:37Look!
04:38Look!
04:39Look!
04:40Where's King's Benefit?
04:41Oh, keys.
04:42Ah, there he is.
04:43Look!
04:44Look!
04:45There he is.
04:46Look!
04:47Black Condor away well on the rails with Warlord and Hawaiian Prince.
04:50Where's King's Benefit?
04:51Oh, keys.
04:52Oh, keys.
04:53Ah, there he is.
04:54Look!
04:55Oh, my goodness.
04:56Ah, there he is.
04:58Look at him go!
05:00He's killing him!
05:02He's running fifth!
05:04I'll kiss that little bear at the legal...
05:06I'll kiss him!
05:08King's beat him, it's a tad!
05:10This is yours.
05:12Go on!
05:14Go!
05:16Go!
05:18Go!
05:20Go!
05:22Go!
05:24He's putting on the pace to close the...
05:26He's won!
05:28I've put it all on the nose!
05:32Well, how much did he win?
05:34Ah, I put 20 bucks on the blighter.
05:38I won 500.
05:40Ha!
05:42Sorry?
05:44500.
05:46Jim, Rosemary's offered me a job.
05:50Oh, doing what?
05:52She asked me to head the Australian branch of her operations,
05:54and I'm...
05:56I'm not sure I'll be able to do it.
05:58Hmm.
05:59I don't know how you'd be at wheeling and dealing, Alan.
06:01Anyway, Rosemary needs someone with...
06:03a knowledge of the financial world.
06:05That isn't what she said.
06:06It's more important for her to have a level-headed person
06:08that she can trust.
06:10Well, you certainly fulfill both those criteria,
06:12but what do you know about things like corporate structure?
06:15It can take you months to learn that sort of stuff.
06:17Well, that doesn't worry, huh?
06:19She's quite happy to ease me into the position over a period of time.
06:25Sounds a wonderful opportunity to me.
06:27I'm very interested.
06:29If I do decide to take her up on her offer, I'd...
06:33I'd like your blessing.
06:35Yeah, but you just said that you didn't think you could do it.
06:37Oh, it wasn't handling the job that concerned me.
06:40It was...
06:42leaving you and the children.
06:44Rosemary suggested you leave us.
06:46Well, I'd have to.
06:48It wouldn't be fair to her if I didn't put all my efforts into the business.
06:52I'd be aware a lot, too.
06:55I still can't understand why she offered the job to you.
06:58Well, perhaps she thinks I'm intelligent.
07:01I wasn't trying to be rude, Alan. I'm trying to be practical.
07:04You've got no experience in the business world,
07:06and I'm just concerned you'll end up in over your head.
07:08Well, thank you very much for your concern,
07:10but I'm quite capable of making up my own mind without your help.
07:20Well, I'd allow that. There's an ant nest beside the hall.
07:24You're right. As usual.
07:28I didn't know you played.
07:30Oh, it's good for business, so I thought I'd learn.
07:32Hmm, wise boy. What's your handicap?
07:3430 at the moment.
07:36Well, not bad for a novice,
07:38but if you want to succeed with businessmen who are golfers,
07:40then you're going to have to get your handicap down to a more competitive one.
07:44Oh, yeah, what's yours?
07:5018.
07:52Not bad.
07:54Must get in a fair bit of practice.
07:56I'll try.
07:58Look, maybe you and I could have a round one day.
08:00It sounds suspiciously to me like you're calling a truce.
08:04Yes, well, I think we should for Mum's sake, don't you?
08:08Okay, name the day then.
08:10Alois, would you be too busy Empire Building to play golf?
08:14If I'm lucky, my time here might be my own soon.
08:16I've already asked someone to be my manager.
08:20Afternoon tea is ready, by the way.
08:22If you do decide to take this job that Rosemary's offered you,
08:29when would you be leaving?
08:30Well, are you going back to the States with her?
08:33No.
08:34She's offered me a job as her Australian manager.
08:37Well, why did Dad ask if you'd be leaving?
08:39Well, if I do accept the job, I won't be able to live here anymore.
08:41You can't leave, Grant. I'm trying to get through my final year.
08:44Well, if you go to the house, it'd be just like the Ramsey's place used to be when Maria left.
08:48I see Mum's told you all about her new job.
08:51She hasn't made up her mind yet.
08:53Miss Rosemary asked you to run the agency.
08:55She's asked me to think about it.
08:57Oh, congratulations. Just hope you know what you're getting yourself into.
09:02And what do you think about the idea, Jim?
09:04Helen's perfectly capable of making up her own mind about this. It's none of my business.
09:08Yes, but you must have an opinion.
09:10Well, of course he does, but he knows the decision is mine, and it's a very difficult one.
09:15To be truthful, I'd like to take the job, but I know the family needs me too.
09:22We do, Grant. Well, nobody wants you to go, do they, Dad?
09:25Well, Lucy'd be heartbroken. It'd be really lonely for her when she got home from school.
09:30Oh, you selfish little beggar. You really know how to put the pressure on, don't you, man?
09:33It's all right for you. You'll finish school.
09:35Listen, I just don't want to go through what happened to Danny when his mother left.
09:38I mean, their place was an absolute madhouse.
09:40If your grandmother decides to go, we'll make other arrangements.
09:43I have no intention of getting into the same sort of mess as Max Ramsey, so we can do without your outbursts.
09:48Oh, talk about a lucky day, eh?
09:56That's all it was. Just luck.
09:58Ah, come to pay up, eh? That'll teach ya.
10:02There.
10:03Hang on. 20 cents at 25 to 1, that's $5.
10:07Oh, you've got yours and Buckley's.
10:09So what are you going to do with the $500, Mr. Ramsey?
10:12Oh, might buy a dog.
10:13What?
10:14Yeah, Doberman. Mind the van.
10:15Oh, for my dead body.
10:17You're wrong.
10:18How am I here?
10:20Listen, Dad, seriously.
10:22I know how you can do much better than today, and more often.
10:25I can do it using the bank's computer.
10:27A mate of mine of course has shown me how to do it.
10:29Oh, I don't know about that electronic ogre's poker.
10:31No, it's not magic, Dad. It's logic.
10:34You feed at things.
10:35You know, like past form over 20 races, weight carried, class of the race.
10:40And you project forward to form.
10:41You know, one kilo equals a length and a half at the finish and so on.
10:44What, you mean you can do all this stuff?
10:46Watch me.
10:47I'm not putting no money on it, mind.
10:49No.
10:50We'll just do it as an exercise at first.
10:52Money can come later.
10:53Oh, alright.
10:54We'll see, eh?
10:55You know, you can't tell me you get any pleasure out of this, Mum.
10:58If you take my job, you'll be able to hire someone to wash up for you.
11:01Grand, couldn't you possibly take the job and stay at home?
11:04No.
11:05Scott, you'd like your grandmother to work two jobs, would you?
11:07Paul was right.
11:08You are selfish.
11:09No, I'm not.
11:10I just don't want Grant to leave.
11:11That's all.
11:12In fact, you're so selfish you have no trouble sitting there and watching her do it.
11:14It's alright, Rosemary.
11:15I don't need any help.
11:16I'm trying to finish my school work.
11:18I haven't got time to help.
11:19I mean, that's what I can't get across to anyone.
11:21This final year at school is impossible.
11:23You haven't got time to do anything else.
11:25You had time to go swimming at Danny's.
11:27I think he should go swimming.
11:28He has to have some time away from his books.
11:30If you aren't here, Grant, I'll tell you straight away.
11:32I'll fail this year for sure.
11:34Darling, I haven't made my mind up yet.
11:36Now, come on.
11:37Concentrate on your assignment.
11:39Don't worry.
11:40I'll finish this in my room.
11:44It wasn't fair, Rosemary.
11:46Oh, he manipulates you.
11:48And I don't notice Jim or Paul helping us either.
11:50So much for their promises.
11:52I don't measure people's affections in terms of washing up.
11:55Hmm.
11:56Well, perhaps you should.
11:58I know how Jim and the family feel about me, just as I know about your feelings.
12:02It isn't easy being torn between the two of you.
12:05Make a decision soon.
12:07Alright, Mum.
12:08But I do need to know.
12:13Where's the light switch?
12:14Shh.
12:15Hang on.
12:16Got it.
12:17What a great move.
12:19It was excellent.
12:20How about something to eat?
12:21Yeah, sure.
12:22No, hang on.
12:23I can't.
12:24It's midnight.
12:25So what's the matter?
12:26Are you going to turn into Cinderella or something?
12:27Good one.
12:28Got to get up first thing in the morning to finish my maths.
12:30Can't you put it off?
12:31It's June Monday.
12:32Why didn't you do it today?
12:33I wanted to, but I only got my English assignment finished before we went out.
12:36You spend too much time when you're English.
12:38I like it.
12:39Anyway, if I'm going to be a journalist, I'll need a good pass in English.
12:42Yeah, but you shouldn't bludge maths.
12:44I haven't seen you doing any today.
12:45Yeah, well I'm ahead at the moment, so I don't need to bother.
12:48Maths doesn't interest me.
12:50You've obviously got a mental block about it, Scott.
12:52Maths is something you're going to need in the business world.
12:55No, I won't.
12:56I made a mistake taking this year.
12:58I can't change subjects now.
12:59It's too late.
13:00Yeah, well it's easy if you keep up your revision.
13:02Yeah, well I can't even keep up with the class.
13:04I failed every revision test I've done.
13:06Yeah, you'll fail the next one too with an attitude like that.
13:09Well, sorry Danny, I've got to go.
13:12I'm glad it's not me.
13:14I'd much rather be working.
13:15School was boring.
13:16Are you still staying for coffee?
13:17Might as well.
13:18See you guys later.
13:22Grab the toast please, Paul.
13:24Is Scott up yet?
13:25Well he's out of bed, but I don't think he's awake.
13:27See if you can find the cereal please, Nicky.
13:30What's all this about anyway?
13:31It's time we started pulling our weight and doing a bit more around the place.
13:34We've got to stop taking Helen for granted.
13:36Us making breakfast isn't going to change Aunty Helen's mind about taking the job.
13:40She hasn't made up her mind yet.
13:42I still reckon she'll take it.
13:43Well, she says she wants to and you have to admit,
13:46it's got to be a lot more interesting than this.
13:48Scott, pull yourself together.
13:49You're going to start doing a bit more around the place.
13:51When was the last time you did something for your grandmother?
13:53Get up my back, will you?
13:55Just ready, Dan?
13:56Yeah, put the lid on it, would you?
13:57And Nicky, would you tell Helen breakfast ready?
13:58Make yourself useful, Scott.
13:59What do you expect me to do anyway?
14:01I mean, I've been doing my room and taking the garbage out.
14:04Maybe you'd like me to do the washing and the ironing in your spare time.
14:07I mean, what does everyone else do?
14:08What does Paul do?
14:09Can we just can it and have a peaceful meal for a change?
14:12Oh, I didn't start it.
14:13I mean, all I want to do is pass my exams.
14:15Is that too much to ask?
14:16I mean, it's not my fault that Gran's leaving, so don't go right off at me.
14:20Watch your mouth, Scott.
14:21I'll tell you what I'll do.
14:23I'll leave school, right?
14:24Then I can run the house.
14:26I might as well.
14:27I'm a failure at everything else.
14:32Hop down the town this morning.
14:34Pick up me winnings.
14:36Does me want any more ideas?
14:37We're a bit short.
14:38Yes, get it back.
14:39What up?
14:40Dan, that was my mate from the computer course.
14:42He won every race in the city on Saturday.
14:45Gah, pull the other one.
14:46It's true.
14:47Clean sweep.
14:48Must have been a fluke.
14:49Like nifty lad.
14:51I'm not kidding you, Dad.
14:52It's easy.
14:53You'll see when we get our system worked out.
14:54Pay put money on him?
14:55Nah.
14:56He only does it as an exercise.
14:57Well, fool him.
14:58Is his system the same as yours?
14:59He showed me how to do it.
15:01Well, I think we might have to have a few small bets then, just in case.
15:04Don't go getting carried away.
15:06One win and some computer theory do not add up to overnight riches.
15:09You can't afford to lose your money, Max.
15:11You worked too hard for it.
15:12It'd be better if we just started in theory, Dad.
15:14Until I get my program worked out exactly.
15:17Yeah, look what we missed out on, Sandy.
15:19I mean, think what we could have won if we backed all his winners, you know?
15:22Nah, Danny, I think we might have to risk a little cash.
15:25Aunty Helen's coming now.
15:30Good.
15:31Is Scott all right?
15:32He didn't look too good.
15:34Oh, well, it was my fault.
15:36I started the argument.
15:37This business with Rosemary's run the whole place out of turmoil.
15:40You won't really mind if Aunty Helen takes the job, will you?
15:43I don't know.
15:45But look what it's done to the house already.
15:47And I can understand how Scott feels.
15:49It is his final year and he's always taking his schoolwork so seriously.
15:52And, of course, he's very fond of his grandmother.
15:54Yeah, well, they come down fairly heavy on you at school.
15:57A lot of kids can't handle any extra hassles.
15:59Yeah, but Scott's got to learn to cope with the odd problem at home.
16:02Well, I think he could.
16:04It's just that he is one of the ones that's having hassles at school.
16:07Look, he's failing his maths and he's really depressed about it.
16:10Well, why didn't he say something to me?
16:12I could have got him some help.
16:14It's not easy to tell your parents that you're failing.
16:17I think that's what's really upsetting him.
16:19He probably thinks that if Aunty Helen goes,
16:21he'll fall behind in all these other subjects as well.
16:23Well, thanks for telling me about it, Nicky.
16:26Look, you won't tell Scott I did, will you?
16:28I don't want him to think that I dogged.
16:30It is only maths that's bugging him.
16:32No, no, no, I won't say anything.
16:33Listen, do me a favor.
16:34Go and see if you can talk him into having some breakfast.
16:36And don't worry.
16:38I'll find some way of helping him.
16:40Scott.
16:41Listen, will you let Dad and Gran sort this out by themselves, mate?
16:56How can I?
16:57If Gran goes, Dad's going to be unbearable.
16:59Well, look, if Gran does go, then I'll do everything I can to help.
17:03And that includes taking out the garbage in the room, OK?
17:06Good morning.
17:08Is it?
17:09I could have fooled me.
17:11I hope you realise what you're doing here.
17:13Yes, I'm visiting my mother.
17:15No, you're not.
17:16You're taking her away.
17:17You're wrecking this family.
17:18Did you know that?
17:19Look, my mother's entitled to her own life.
17:22You don't care about her life.
17:24You just want a hard worker and you're not having her.
17:26Scott, that's enough.
17:27What's wrong with you?
17:29Letting a slaying match develop.
17:31It allows me to perhaps feel to go inside.
17:34Yes.
17:39Come on, mate.
17:40Jump inside.
17:41I'll give you a lift to school.
17:42No hurry to get to that place.
17:54Oh, I might have known I'd find her in the kitchen.
17:59For your information, the family got breakfast ready this morning.
18:03Big deal.
18:04Now, look here, Rosemary.
18:06I'm willing to admit that Helen does the bulk of the housework around the place.
18:09But by the same token, she's well aware of the fact that we appreciate it.
18:13And what does she get for it, Jim?
18:14Chapped hands?
18:15Probably.
18:16Look, Helen's a homemaker.
18:18And that's a very special occupation in my books.
18:21It certainly runs rings round this offer you've made her.
18:23No woman in her right mind would give up the chance of a stimulating career for the opportunity
18:28to clean someone else's toilet.
18:30And that's the only way you can equate Helen's worth, isn't it?
18:34Well, let me tell you something, Rosemary.
18:36To my children, Helen is more than a grandmother.
18:38She's a friend.
18:39And I can understand them not wanting her to go.
18:41If they're all like Scott, their motives are purely selfish.
18:44And anyway, she won't stop being their friend simply because she chooses to lead her own life.
18:48Ever since you arrived, Rosemary, you've done nothing but undermine Helen's position in this house
18:52and as far as I'm concerned...
18:53Stop it!
18:54If you make that job, I...
18:55I've had enough.
18:56I've made up my mind.
18:59But...
19:00It's�...
19:01I've made up my mind.
19:02It's a challenge.
19:04In one time!
19:05Toi!
19:06Toi!
19:07Toi!
19:09Toi!
19:10Toi!
19:11Toi!
19:13Toi!
