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
00:36Des, you'll just have to say something
00:38Well, no-one's giving Bradley a chance
00:40They're all picking on him, they won't let up
00:42Who's picking on him?
00:43Oh, this whole street
00:44Oh, come on
00:45Well, half of it anyway
00:48Jim Robinson, his idiot son
00:51That delinquent who works with you at the bank
00:53Danny?
00:54Yeah?
00:55You tried to tell me about something that happened
00:56I was too busy
00:57I wouldn't worry about it though
00:59Scott and Danny, they're good kids
01:00Oh, they bullied Bradley off his bike
01:03Are you sure?
01:04I am not in the habit of telling lies, Des
01:06But I didn't say you were
01:07Well, then stop talking like I am
01:08Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
01:10But what was this run-in with Jim about?
01:13Oh, something so petty it's hardly worth mentioning
01:18The boy was playing in his garden
01:21Totally overreacted
01:22He accused him of setting out to destroy it
01:24But he didn't
01:25Well, of course he didn't
01:29You know, it's possible that Bradley's bringing all these troubles on himself
01:34Oh really?
01:35And how do you figure that out?
01:37Well, he's alienating people
01:38I mean, he's always up to something
01:40And that rubber spider in the medicine chest
01:43It almost frightened hell out of Zoe
01:45You're his father, Des
01:48Isn't it about time you started acting like it?
01:50I thought I was
01:52Being a father is more than just putting a roof over a child's head
01:56You're supposed to support him
01:58Not come up with excuses for grown-ups who act like bullies
02:02Okay, I'll go and have a talk with Jim
02:04Danny and Scott if I can find them
02:06Good
02:07Yep, I'll have a dream now
02:12Back again
02:17So what are you going to do now?
02:19Well, Dad said it's up to me
02:22You're on your own
02:24I don't know, I don't really care
02:27Oh, you don't mean that
02:28You reckon?
02:29You're just scared
02:31You had enough trouble with your school work before all this
02:33And now you think you've gone and made things impossible
02:36Yeah, well it's a pretty good reason to be scared, eh?
02:39You don't know how important that test was
02:41I think we've got a rough idea
02:42The thing is, what are you going to do about it?
02:44There's nothing I can do about it now
02:46That's loser talk, mate
02:47You want to stop that right now
02:48Why don't you go and see if you can have another crack at it?
02:51Come on, they're not going to give me another go at it
02:53Have you asked?
02:54What's the point?
02:55The point, mate, is to get off your backside
02:57And stop feeling sorry for yourself
02:59Well, you're screwed up, big deal
03:00Everyone does at some stage in their life
03:05Go and see your teacher, Scott
03:07Talk over what happened with him
03:14He was just playing in the garden
03:16Playing in the garden?
03:17The little brat destroyed a dozen of my roses
03:20Now, if you think I'm overreacting, count them for yourself
03:22Well, I'm sure he didn't mean it
03:24Well, the first couple may be
03:25But he didn't stop there
03:26He kept throwing the blasted boomerang
03:28What boomerang?
03:29The kid had a boomerang
03:30He kept throwing it at the roses
03:32Seeing how many he could decapitate
03:33Now, you may think that sort of behaviour is satisfactory
03:35I don't
03:36No, no, I don't
03:37But there's a right way and a wrong way to handle it
03:38You didn't have to belt the kid
03:40I didn't belt him
03:41Dez, the kid's an out-and-out brat
03:43He needs to be taught a lesson
03:44Yeah, well, violence isn't the answer
03:46Violence?
03:47Oh, come on, Dez
03:48Don't you think you're going over the top?
03:50No, I don't
03:51Especially now that Scott's joined in on the act
03:54What are you talking about?
03:55Pushing Bradley off his bike
03:57He didn't push anyone off anything
03:58Oh, bullying then, same thing
04:00The kid was riding his bike on the footpath
04:02Which he shouldn't have been doing
04:03Playing kamikaze with whoever got in the way
04:05Scott told him off
04:06Had I been there, I'd have done the same thing
04:07Yeah, like father, like son
04:09And if you mean that neither of us will put up with an obnoxious, undisciplined little brat
04:15Yes
04:16Quite frankly, Dez, you'd be doing the street a hell of a favour if you got rid of the town's ends
04:20Mother and son
04:21When you've finished in there, I want you to take that bike back straight away
04:26I don't want to see it lying in the middle of the backyard again
04:29Is that clear?
04:30Bradley, is that clear?
04:32Yes
04:33Listen Bradley, you're going to have to smarten up
04:39Any more of your mischief and we could both be thrown out of here
04:44Is that what you want?
04:45To go back and live the way we used to?
04:47No, I didn't think so
04:48Neither do I
04:49So best behaviour from now on, alright?
04:50Oh, good boy
04:51Listen darling, mummy has gone to a lot of trouble to set things up here
05:04We don't want to ruin it before we've had a time to enjoy it
05:08Two longs back and two raisin dust, won't be wrong
05:10You okay for coffee?
05:11Yeah
05:12Just sing out if you want another one
05:13See you later
05:14Yeah
05:15Just sing out if you want another one
05:16Thanks
05:17As well as if Scott's taking your advice about seeing his teacher
05:33Well, not for the moment anyway
05:35Poor guy, I feel sorry for him
05:36Why don't you go and have another talk to him?
05:38See if you can snap him out of his misery
05:39Yeah, okay
05:40Here, and take these with you
05:42Table four
05:43So how's it going?
05:56You know the worst thing?
06:00I've let Dad down
06:02He wanted me to do well and be a success
06:05Look at me, I've ended up the biggest flop of all time
06:08Sometimes parents expect too much of their kids, following in their footsteps, you know
06:12Yeah, but it's not too much to expect them to pass their exams or at least sit for them
06:16I'm not really talking about that
06:17You want to be a journo, right?
06:18Yeah
06:19So why are you studying maths?
06:21I've never been able to work that out
06:22You don't need maths to study journalism
06:24Dad's an engineer, everyone's assumed I'd do maths
06:27Yeah, I thought so
06:28Doesn't make much sense though, does it?
06:30Not when you think about it
06:31Look Clive, I don't want to think about anything right now
06:34I just want to sit here and forget about the whole stupid mess
06:37And have a quiet cup of coffee by myself
06:40Fair enough, I'm not here to hassle you
06:42How did it go?
06:43I liked talking to a brick wall
06:44I bet you made your point
06:46Yeah, I hope so
06:47Listen, Bradley
06:48To my shoes
06:49I know
06:50He's polishing them
06:52I know
06:53He saw them lying on the floor and he asked me if you'd appreciate it
07:10You know, him doing it
07:11I don't know
07:12I just want to look at you
07:13I don't want to look at your shoes
07:15I know
07:17He's polishing them
07:18I know
07:19He saw them lying on the floor and he asked me if you'd appreciate it
07:22it you know him doing something nice for you thanks very much bradman saved me from a job i

07:53but bradley's going to make up for it aren't you dear yes see
08:07chief couldn't bottle wash tonight i am if we got to eat at a reasonable hour

08:17you reading in tonight yep set the table right with you yeah okay you seem a bit grouchy
08:24oh des was over earlier defending that half-grown pest that's living with him bradley
08:29he's not that bad that's your opinion dad he's a kid he's bound to get into a bit of mischief now then
08:37what do you think of his mother can't stand the woman
08:40oh family's out of favor huh don't know how des puts up with her well she's a bit of a spun
08:50do you reckon there's anything going on between those two i don't know i don't really care
08:55so des seems to be laying out the red carpet a bit more fool him set a place for scott he should
09:02be in later yep see you later thank you closing up now scott
09:07well are you finished all done thanks just get rid of these and we can push off
09:14i'll take your cup
09:20scott you okay
09:22what's the matter mate is he asleep i'm not sure scott wake up
09:31he's drunk and if you start up with the full bottle he'll be out of it for quite a while
09:40well what are we gonna do when we can't take him home you will go through the roof
09:44we'll have to cut him back to our place still they're gonna wonder what's happened to him
09:48i'll ring paul and know what's going on scott when are you gonna get your act together
09:54thanks for coming over oh thanks for letting me know dav hi g'day paul so that's the patient
10:06off in the land or not i'm afraid at least for the next three or four hours it's like the first
10:1017 year old to wipe himself out there yeah well hangover who's gonna wake up with or make him think
10:15twice about doing it again i should think i reckon scotty we didn't think jim should know no it's
10:21probably best question is what do we do with him we thought he could stay here till he comes to and
10:26then somehow get him up to his own bed won't be until the early hours of the morning though yeah
10:30it's the best idea i do can you cover for him until everyone goes to bed i think so i just don't
10:35want him to get into any more trouble he's got enough problems on his plate as it is i don't know
10:39it has jim been giving him a hard time oh no he's really right now he hasn't been too bad he's
10:45tried to do the right thing try and make him relax even took him fishing on the weekend scott
10:50feels he's let jim down well the only person he's let down is himself but right now he's
10:54suffering one hell of a good complex do you have to make it sound so serious it's not that serious
10:58just a question of getting him to see things as they really are i tried but to no effect so far
11:06why can't i sleep in the big bed because that's dazzy's bed this one's too small well it will just
11:12have to do now hop in and stop complaining you need a good night's rest you start school tomorrow
11:18here we go here's james all right now bradley des has found an old story book he wants to read
11:25you look i know it's the last thing you want but it's important you've got to play along with him
11:30that's my boy oh all tucked in is he yes i will be too shortly i'm tired
11:41sweet dreams then yeah um yeah i'll see you in the morning night bradley
11:46yeah um i found this uh it's a book i used to enjoy when i was a kid i thought i might
12:00read you a bedtime story if you like yeah
12:03it's all about cowboys and indians tales of the wild wild west
12:16let's see i used to really enjoy this it's okay
12:22many years ago long before the white man settled on the great plains chief sitting bull was the leader
12:28of all the indians his people considered him a very wise man and they were glad
12:33he was their leader however there was one indian brave who didn't who did not like chief sitting
12:39bull he was selfish brave and he wanted to oh sorry he was a selfish brave and he wanted to be
12:46leader himself he didn't think the chief was such a wise man he knew as much as he did and he
12:54oh he knew as much as he did and he was a better fighter too or so he thought one day he made
13:00up his mind to challenge chief sitting bull for the leadership of the tribe and where'd you get
13:05that school what from one of your teachers one of the other kids yeah well it's going to be
13:10confiscated now get to sleep buster i'm not tired tough you can say your prayers too
13:18well go on now i lay me down to sleep now i lay me down to sleep
13:30i pray my i pray the lord my soul to keep i pray the lord my soul to keep
13:39what's he doing at clive's place oh they're just saying a game of cards
13:42did he get something to eat yeah yeah they said they got something at coffee shop well he should have
13:46phone that said he wasn't coming home yeah well i did tell him i wonder if he didn't come home
13:51because of me what i said to him do you think i've been too tough with him on the school work business
13:57no i don't think so
14:01all those stories you read about fathers riding on the shoulders of their sons
14:06if the son's success so is the father do you think that's me
14:08i hope not of course we are at odds at the moment scott and me no getting away from that
14:17i tried to get close to him but i don't know dad don't let it get to you look once he's got his
14:22school problems sorted out things will be okay again fingers crossed hey you know he does get
14:27on well with clive well i was just thinking i mean about this tutoring business we tried to tutor paul
14:33didn't work dad maybe it was because it was the bloke you hired i mean clive could be different
14:38he's certainly got the qualifications i reckon it'd be more like a mate giving him a hand rather than
14:43just another school teacher yeah it might be worth a try no harm in asking no i guess you're right
15:01what's what's the matter what's wrong you okay what do you stay get back to bed
