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
00:36I suppose they did say they were coming straight back
00:38Well, no, but I just naturally assumed that...
00:40Well, I hope they haven't had an accident.
00:42No, we would have heard.
00:43Well, maybe they stopped off for a meal or something.
00:45I don't know what you're getting so uptight about, Paul.
00:47Scott, the basic scenario is this.
00:49While our sister's desperately ill in hospital,
00:51her father's off in the bush chasing a bit of fluff.
00:53Oh, don't talk about your father like that.
00:55I know Zoe. She's a piranha.
00:57You're off your head.
00:58She's my secretary, mate.
00:59Maybe I know her a little bit better than you would.
01:01Hi, everyone.
01:02Hi. Did you have a good time?
01:03The best.
01:04Mike took me to a Mexican restaurant.
01:06Yeah, well, I'll leave you to your happy family
01:08so I'm going to find out how she is.
01:09Why is everyone so tense?
01:11And where's Mum?
01:12She's having dinner with Max.
01:14Oh, terrific. I thought you came here to see me.
01:16So did we, but you went out.
01:18Never mind all that.
01:20Do you want to know what's been going on here?
01:22Well, Lucy had an allergic reaction to a bee sting.
01:25She's in hospital.
01:26Are you kidding? How is she?
01:28She's breathing easily now, thank God.
01:31There was an awful time when we thought we might lose her.
01:34She could have done if it hadn't been for Clive.
01:37He performed the operation on the spot.
01:39Talk about staying cool.
01:40And that saved her life?
01:42Yeah, absolutely.
01:43You should have seen him.
01:44He was brilliant.
01:45Look, the thing you don't seem to understand is that something might have gone wrong.
01:49Sure.
01:50And things might have gone a lot more wrong had you not been there.
01:57Clive, why are you wasting your talents like this?
01:59Like what?
02:00Anyway, who says I've got any talents?
02:02A well-trained boy scout could have done what I did.
02:05All this hoo-ha and mystique about what wonderful people doctors are.
02:09In China, the physician doesn't even get paid unless he heals
02:12or unless the treatments seem to be effective.
02:14Did you know that?
02:15No, but I don't see...
02:16But not here.
02:17Oh, no.
02:18Here it's cash up front and fingers crossed.
02:19Take my father as a case in point.
02:20I thought you said he was one of the best.
02:22Oh, sure.
02:23And he's got sympathy galore so long as your bank balance runs into at least five figures.
02:27But there are alternatives to his type of practice.
02:30Working for welfare, community medicine...
02:33He's still locked into the system.
02:35There is no way you can practice medicine in this country and not be.
02:38And Clive doesn't like being locked into anything, does he?
02:41How did you guess?
02:51Here you go.
02:52Well, you two seem to have a good time.
02:55More than I've had in years.
02:57Your brother can be a barrel of laughs when he wants to.
03:00Well, you must bring out the best in him, Laura.
03:02Hello, sis.
03:03What's he say?
03:04Hit me another one.
03:05Oh, you should be so lucky.
03:06No.
03:07It's for a friend.
03:08Oh, yeah.
03:09Oh.
03:10I was just about to put the kettle on.
03:11Right.
03:12Be with you in two shakes, then.
03:14You're a sly, old fox.
03:16You can't bill me.
03:18You've got a mystery man.
03:19A fella on the side.
03:20Certainly do not.
03:21Well, who's it for, then?
03:23The arms are long enough.
03:24There must be somebody pretty tall.
03:26All right.
03:27Jim Robbins.
03:28Jim Robbins!
03:29But if you say a word to anyone, particularly that brother of mine, I'll...
03:33Anyway, it's purely platonic.
03:34It's just that Helen hasn't got much time to knit.
03:37And you know that men appreciate these little touches.
03:39Oh, my word they do.
03:41A hand-knitted jumper and a home-cooked meal.
03:43Best way to a man's heart, despite what they say.
03:45Yeah.
03:46You can try telling that to them so-called marriage experts, though.
03:49Tea or coffee?
03:50Oh, no thanks, Madge.
03:51I'd better get home.
03:52Try and catch Nicky before she goes to bed.
03:54Oh, she's calmed down, I bet that, has she?
03:56Oh.
03:57It's that difficult age.
03:58I've just got to learn to be patient.
04:00Hey.
04:01Walk me home, Prince Charming.
04:03With the greatest of pleasure.
04:10Dr Murray says she's sleeping like a top.
04:13She'll be fine.
04:14Thank God.
04:15I've just heard about Lucy.
04:16Is she all right?
04:17Hopefully.
04:18I wanted to stay at the hospital, but the doctor advised that it'd be best if I come tomorrow
04:22morning.
04:23Good old Clive, the reluctant hero, hmm?
04:25Yeah, a full-on hero.
04:26No kidding, I don't think she would have made it until the game.
04:28That's all right.
04:29You're right there.
04:31Dale.
04:32Look at all these long faces.
04:34What happened? Did somebody die?
04:35Mum, Lucy's in hospital, and yes, she very nearly did die.
04:40Oh, no.
04:41What happened?
04:43I've got a...
04:44Hello.
04:45Helen Daniels.
04:46Hello.
04:47Where the heck have you been?
04:48I've tried to call you at least half a dozen times.
04:50And where the heck have you been?
04:51I've been worried sick.
04:53Ah.
04:54Well, don't worry about me.
04:55I'm in a motel with a very beautiful and charming young lady.
04:59Well, I'm very pleased for you, I'm sure.
05:01However, if it isn't too much trouble, I suggest that you get it.
05:04I suggest that you get here immediately.
05:07Helen, is something wrong?
05:09Yes.
05:10Lucy's ill.
05:11She's in hospital.
05:12She's asking for you.
05:13She's what?
05:14Oh, she's in good care.
05:15There's nothing to be alarmed about.
05:17But get here!
05:18Yeah, of course.
05:19She's in good care.
05:20She's in good care.
05:21Well, let me get this straight.
05:24While my sister's lying in recovery, he's out...
05:26Don't overreact, Paul.
05:27Overreact?
05:28How am I supposed to react?
05:29Would you credit it, eh?
05:30Old Jimmy out in the monkey with young Joe.
05:32Max, please.
05:33This is none of your concern.
05:35Oh, and I suppose you think it's all very innocent.
05:39Never mind, Scott.
05:40Your dad's timing may be off, but other than that, there's no harm done.
05:45Yeah.
05:46Good old Jimbo.
05:47Found himself a fountain of youth.
05:48I'd say this was a family matter, wouldn't you?
05:51Right.
05:52Come on, Max.
05:53Good night, everyone.
05:54Night, Max.
05:55Thanks a lot.
05:56Good-o.
05:57Max.
05:59Wait on, Nicky.
06:00I'm going to bed.
06:01Oh, I know that tone.
06:03You're on your high horse again.
06:05I suppose you think my going out with Max was wrong.
06:07No, I don't, Mother.
06:09In fact, I think that you and Max are very well suited to each other.
06:12Oh, the poor little mite.
06:18How terrible.
06:19I'll go over and see if there's anything I can do to help.
06:21I wouldn't bother.
06:22Good old Jimbo ain't turn up yet, eh?
06:25Seems they tracked him down to some seedy motel in the Mulga.
06:29What on earth was he doing there?
06:31I don't know what he was doing, but whatever it was, it was for Zoe.
06:35Oh, what rubbish.
06:37Jim Robinson's a perfect gentleman and you know it.
06:40Never said he wasn't.
06:41Oh, and Zoe?
06:42Well, she may be a bit flighty, but she's a good girl at heart.
06:46Huh.
06:47What you said about Fred's secretary before he ran off with her.
06:49Max Ramsey, that was unfair and uncalled for.
06:52Oh, yeah, I know.
06:53Look, I'm sorry, love.
06:54I've got to be carried away there.
06:55Anyway, what makes you such an expert?
06:56Your own marriage wasn't exactly perfect.
06:57Now, you leave Maria out of this.
06:59Oh, so you're allowed to mention my broken marriage,
07:02but I'm not allowed to mention yours, is that it?
07:04Now, look.
07:05I thought you would have learned by now about people in glass houses,
07:09Oh, no, not Max.
07:10Yeah, well, I had me reasons.
07:12You're going to end up a lonely old man, Max Ramsey.
07:15Oh, yeah.
07:16And what about you, eh?
07:17Don't exactly see you rushed off your feet with offers, indecent or otherwise.
07:20Maybe not, but at least I still have my dignity.
07:23Dignity?
07:24What dignity?
07:25Running around after Jim Robinson like some lovesick schoolgirl?
07:27Aye.
07:28That's what it is, isn't it, eh?
07:29I don't want to hear any more.
07:31Yeah, as soon as I mention Zoe and Jim, you fell to pieces.
07:34You're jealous.
07:35I...
07:38Oh, you disgust me!
07:40I was wondering when you were going to show up.
07:52How is she?
07:53Any change?
07:54She's all right.
07:55Grand phoned the hospital before she went to bed.
07:57I suppose it's too late for me to go over there now.
07:59It was a few hours ago when she needed you.
08:02It's a pity you were tied up elsewhere.
08:04The car broke down.
08:06These things happen.
08:07Oh, come on, Dad, that's an old line.
08:10I would have thought you'd come up with something a little bit more original.
08:12There was nothing in it, Paul.
08:14I just didn't see the point in coming all the way back to town
08:17and having to turn round again and go out tomorrow to pick the car up.
08:20It was easy enough when you needed to.
08:22We got a lift.
08:23Oh, how convenient.
08:24What were you going to do?
08:25Stay the night?
08:28We had separate rooms, Paul.
08:29Oh, sure, sure.
08:30And I suppose you told the proprietor that she was your niece.
08:33Listen, I'm tired.
08:34And I don't feel I should have to justify my actions to you.
08:37And quite frankly, right now, I don't give a damn with you, believe me or not.
08:40Well, just for the record, I don't.
08:42Fine.
08:43And also for the record, I happen to think this whole thing is pretty damn sordid.
08:46Paul.
08:50I'll talk to you about this in the morning.
08:52When we're both feeling more rational.
08:54Well, I happen to feel perfectly rational now.
08:56I also have a rational interest in my family.
08:59It's a pity you don't feel the same way, Dad.
09:26the other Turns.
09:27All right, thank you.
09:28chocolate.
09:29Yeah, look.
09:30Oh, good day, Laura.

11:59i suppose they think that i was shacking up with zoe too did i
12:05i don't think so it was well a bit of surprise for all of us
12:10well it really was nothing in it you know i mean if there had been i would hardly have been
12:14shouting it from the rooftop how would i yes i know i'm sorry i was so sharp on the phone it was
12:19a very confusing night yeah well thank heavens i've got you on site at least you coming to the
12:23hospital with me no i'll pop in later i think lucy might like a bit of time on her own with her
12:28dad recounting the drama of it all yeah well i better get going because i want to stop off and
12:33thank clive on the way um we owe that young man a lot yeah he hadn't been here i just started
12:39that was your lady friend on the phone said something about wanting to see you sometime today
12:43i take it you're talking about zoe i'll see you tonight oh i wouldn't go over there just yet
12:48she probably wants a chance to doll up first oh just what is your game leave your father alone
12:55he's got enough on his plate oh never had truer words been spoken it's all a big misunderstanding
13:01well that's what he wants us all to think isn't it oh for heaven's sake paul be your age
13:05i believe i owe you rather a large debt of gratitude oh don't be silly mate an intern would
13:18have done the same thing do you want a coffee no i won't thanks i'm just on my way to the hospital
13:21how is little lucy i rang an hour or so ago they said she's got to be fine good yeah these things
13:26tend not to be too problematical if you catch them in time well how bad could it have been pretty bad
13:31is she likely to have this sort of reaction again yeah well it's possible the main thing is to keep
13:37away from bees get a fly sort of something anyway her doctor is the one you should discuss a lot with
13:41you sure you don't want a coffee no i won't really thanks something else on your mind
13:45well it's just curiosity and it's none of my business
13:48but it strikes me as odd that someone with your gift should choose not to use it
13:53gift you mean the gift of healing
13:56i suppose you'd call it that that pal is not a gift that's years of hard yak a day and night
14:02all the more reason to pursue it i suppose most people would see it that way but it has been noted
14:09sometimes not too friendly that i'm not like most people you think you'll ever go back to it i have
14:15given too much of my life to medicine the most important thing i learned was that it wasn't what i
14:21wanted people get expectations and that leads to disappointment not every tracheotomy works no
14:27matter how hard you study or how good your bedside manner so here i am a bum i wouldn't call you that
14:34oh you can if you want i'm quite proud of the fact i am independently resourceful nobody expects
14:41anything and nobody's disappointed well again it's nothing to do with me it's none of my business
14:45yeah but you're curious right what what do you want from life just to dance to my own tune
14:52nothing more and nothing less
14:54hello helen may i come in yes madge
15:07i haven't the heart to tell them that every time they decide to do me a favor by getting the
15:15breakfast that uh it takes me an hour and a half to clean up them
15:19what's wrong helen could you tell me why a woman of my age should insist on making a fool of herself
15:29you'd think i would have learned something by now do i know what you're talking about
15:32oh yes oh madge there was a storm in a teacup jim's car broke oh helen really i don't want to know
15:40the why's and wherefores and i haven't come over here to weep on your shoulder either
