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
00:36Why can't you wake her up?
00:38Tell her Bradley called. Tell her I'm sick too.
00:41What's up, Elizabeth?
00:43Who's phoning Lucy at the hospital?
00:45He's supposed to have a cold. What's he doing up at this time of the night?
00:48I wanted to get up. I didn't see the hum in that.
00:54Dr Barnes said there's nothing wrong with him.
00:58That old quack. As if he'd know anything.
01:02I'm not calling the boy a liar, but maybe it's psychosomatic.
01:06You see, because his friend Lucy is sick, Bradley wants to be sick.
01:10Bradley, stop that.
01:12Bradley, put the egg back in the fridge and then off to bed.
01:16I can't. I've got to take it to bed with me.
01:20You have to look after it. How do you get mixed up in all this?
01:23What are you talking about?
01:25Oh, it's a school project. Apparently Nicky started it.
01:27You've got to look after the egg as if it was your own child.
01:30It's a real drag.
01:32Well, why are you playing the game then?
01:34I promised Lucy. Babies are boring. This is a really dumb game.
01:38Sounds ridiculous.
01:40Look, if this egg was a real child, wouldn't you treat it differently?
01:52Where's its mother then? Mothers look after babies.
01:55Fathers too, Bradley, because they want to.
01:58Look, there's nothing weak about loving your own egg... child.
02:02Yeah? Well, I reckon it's dumb.
02:08Yeah, okay. Try it now.
02:10Right. I don't see why I couldn't have waited for morning, but...
02:13Because tomorrow would never have come, that's why.
02:15Not the only one out of you. Don't mind.
02:17Yeah, I think it would be best if I went to bed.
02:19Right.
02:20Have you got a 10 o'clock curfew like Nicky?
02:22I thought you were pleased Nicky went to boarding school.
02:25Not the way she's turned out, I'm not.
02:27Well, there's nothing wrong with Nicky.
02:29Oh, yeah, she's first class. A first class little snob.
02:32Oh, Laura, I do think you have to look at the whole picture.
02:36I mean, Nicky has a style and poise that she could never have achieved at a public school.
02:41Yes, but if she'd been to a public school, she might be more tolerant.
02:45Ready to accept people as human beings and not credit ratings.
02:48Go and see what all the fuss is about. I mean, school's school.
02:51You been starting arguments again, Dad?
02:53Read about it, son.
02:54I'll say goodnight now, Max.
02:55Oh, alright.
02:56Nicky will be home soon and we're due for a chat.
02:59Alright, Ella. Good night.
03:01It was a lovely meal. I had a nice time.
03:05See you, Max.
03:06Night all. Bye-bye, Laura.
03:08Thanks, Laura.
03:12You showed heaps of class tonight, Dad. Great food.
03:15There. Get your grubby maulers off of that.
03:18Now, listen, I'd just like to say thank you all very much for reckoning the only decent evening I've had in years.
03:24You heard, Laura, the evening was fun.
03:26It wasn't over yet.
03:27Oh, I see.
03:28Oh, look, don't get the wrong idea. All I meant was all I meant...
03:31Sorry, Dad, but you should have warned us.
03:34Now, don't get smart.
03:35Well, hung a sign out the window or something. Shane, what does that mate of yours do?
03:39Shut up, the pair of ears. All I wanted, I mean, all I wanted was a little bit of privacy
03:45and a chance for some intelligent conversation with a lady I respect in me own flaming house for Pete's sake.
03:51Oh, hang on. The house is only half yours, so don't start that.
03:55And, oh, intelligent conversation with a lady you respect.
03:59It's your sister you're talking to, you know.
04:01You didn't lay out a fortune on gourmet food to finish off the evening with a game of Trivial Pursuits.
04:07Now, hang on.
04:09How these boys have survived with your dreadful example, I do not know.
04:13Good night, all.
04:15Good night.
04:17A man can't win.
04:21So you think Mike was in the wrong?
04:23I hate him for what he said.
04:25It wasn't my question.
04:26Well, yes, he was in the wrong.
04:28Oh, what would he know? He's just like my mother.
04:30Oh, is he?
04:32Yes, he's common.
04:34Common?
04:36Oh, poor Mike.
04:39Poor Laura.
04:41The only part of her that's socially acceptable to you is her bank balance, isn't it?
04:45She sent me to that school.
04:47You can hardly blame me for feeling the way I do.
04:49Yes, I do blame you.
04:50Because you're smart enough to know exactly how you're using her.
04:53She sent me to that school so I'd have a better chance.
04:56And I've made the best of it.
04:58I'm what she wanted.
04:59I'm better than her.
05:00So neither of you have any right to complain.
05:07How's Lucy?
05:09I stayed with her until she went to sleep.
05:11Laura...
05:12No, please.
05:14Don't fight my battles for me, Helen.
05:17Helen's really a very nice person. I don't think it's fair taking it all out on her.
05:39I agree.
05:40I should have told you how I felt when you first arrived.
05:44That I'm common.
05:45Well, aren't you?
05:47You tell me what you mean by that.
05:49The most uncommon man I ever knew had rough hands and spent 14 hours a day in the dust,
05:55trying to make a life for the both of us.
05:58Mum, I can't be two people.
06:00Your money made me what I am now.
06:02You'll just have to live with that.
06:04I think I made a mistake.
06:06Oh, sure, I wanted the best for you.
06:09I still do.
06:10But I don't think I'm getting my money's worth.
06:13Oh, who's being selfish now?
06:14Oh, you bet I am.
06:16Sacrificing everything for your child.
06:19I'm starting to think that was a very dumb move.
06:23I don't think you'd do it.
06:25If giving my child the best meant letting go, I'd let go?
06:30You're a very clever girl.
06:33I bet you can hoof it with the best at that school.
06:36But you're not going to start climbing ladders by wiping your feet all over me.
06:41I won't let you do that, Nicky.
06:44I love you too much.
06:46Well, I never said I didn't love you.
06:49Then you'll change things.
06:52Because if you don't, young lady, I'll take you out of that school and back to Charleville with me.
06:58Oh, I know you'll hate me at first, but I don't know what else to do.
07:03I want you back, Nicky.
07:06I want you back, one way or the other.
07:16Sit down. Breakfast's ready.
07:28Thanks, Si.
07:32Bradley, Zoe is trying to sleep.
07:38Careful, you're going to break in.
07:40It's going to grow up tough.
07:42What about your promise to Lucy?
07:45Look, would your mother let you play in the traffic?
07:48Yeah.
07:49Would we let you play with boiling water?
07:52No, we wouldn't. We protect you.
07:54And we don't call you an it, we call you Bradley.
07:57Look, just give your egg a break and...
08:00I'll rephrase that.
08:02Look, why don't you draw a little face on him?
08:04Give him a little personality.
08:06His name's Marilyn.
08:08Breakfast.
08:10Thanks.
08:25How did you sleep?
08:27Like a log.
08:28Lucky you.
08:30Look, I don't want you to misunderstand what I said last night.
08:33Oh, I understood perfectly.
08:35Anyway, I'm late.
08:36Then be late.
08:37Don't you think it's more important to discuss this fully?
08:40Oh, there's nothing to discuss, Mother.
08:42Goodbye, Aunty Helen.
08:44Goodbye, Nicky.
08:49Oh, I don't know.
08:53It's that school.
08:55So the only solution I can see is to take her away from it.
09:06Morning, Nicky.
09:07Hello.
09:08Nicky.
09:09Welcome to me. You had a great time last night.
09:10Marrow life.
09:11Yeah, I can imagine.
09:12I'll see you later, Dad. I've got to see Helen about some business.
09:15Oh, Nicky. Hang on.
09:17Lovely day, isn't it?
09:18Is it?
09:19You bet.
09:20A clear intention and a positive attitude.
09:21Two essentials for success.
09:22You all right?
09:23I'm leaving school.
09:24Your mum.
09:25Well, I don't want to be there anymore, and so I'm getting out before she drags me out.
09:30Nowhere to go.
09:31You nervous?
09:32Well, I pay the fees. I'm entitled to a few answers. Of course I'm nervous.
09:34Morning, Laura.
09:35Hello.
09:36Well, don't keep me in suspense. What's the good news, hey?
09:39Home James has another regular client. Why don't we enter town each morning?
09:43That's it.
09:44That's it.
09:45That's it.
09:46That's it.
09:47That's it.
09:48That's it.
09:49That's it.
09:50That's it.
09:51That's it.
09:52That's it.
09:53That's it.
09:54That's it.
09:55That's it.
09:56That's it.
09:57That's it.
09:58That's it.
09:59You're going to get me into town each morning.
10:00Fantastic.
10:01Can you stay by the phone this morning while we go to collect Lucy from the hospital?
10:04Oh, sure, sure. It'll give me a chance to study. I've got a book at home on business
10:09techniques.
10:10I like the attitude. Can you be back by 9.30?
10:12Sure. This is a great start, you know? By the time we've finished Helen, we're going
10:16to have a whole fleet of high cars.
10:24I'm very disappointed about this, Nicky.
10:27It is a question of finance. A large country property isn't a guarantee of wealth these
10:32days. And my mother and I do have to be realistic.
10:35I'm surprised she hasn't been to discuss the matter herself.
10:38She'll be writing to you.
10:40That's great, Nicky.
10:41Kim, that is the last time.
10:44Yes, Miss Davidson.
10:46Have you considered applying for scholarship?
10:53We don't believe in charity. I'll take a job and finish my final year of schooling at night.
10:58When did you plan to leave?
10:59Today. As I said, it is a question of finance.
11:03Well, there are formalities, you know. The papers to be signed.
11:08My Aunt Helen can sign. I'll take the papers with me tonight.
11:12I'm very sorry about this.
11:15So am I, Miss Davidson.
11:17All right, dear. I'll see you later.
11:20Yes, Miss Davidson.
11:21Deborah, give me a phone number, will you? Mrs. Helen Daniels.
11:46Helen, Laura should never have said that to Nicky.
11:50Well, it's been said, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
11:53I gave my children those kind of ultimatums, and it was the worst mistake I ever made.
11:57Hmm. Well, I'm counting on the fact that, despite everything, Nicky loves Laura very much.
12:02Excuse me, that might be a job.
12:05Hello, Herm James. May I help you?
12:08Oh, I beg your pardon. I was trying to contact Mrs. Helen Daniels.
12:12Oh, it's Helen Daniels speaking.
12:14Oh, it's Miss Davidson, Nicky Denison's headmistress. We have spoken before.
12:20Yes, Miss Davidson. Can I help you?
12:22I wanted to discuss the matter of Nicky leaving school.
12:26Nicky leaving?
12:28Ah. It's obviously as much a surprise to you as it is to me.
12:33Miss Davidson, Nicky and her mother have had a few differences lately, but I assure you this decision is Nicky's and no one else's.
12:41Well, in that case, I'd better phone Charlville.
12:45But Mrs. Denison is down here. Actually, she's on her way to see you now.
12:49Well, that will simplify matters considerably.
12:51Thank you, Mrs. Daniels. Goodbye.
12:55Well, what was all that about?
12:59Nicky's leaving school.
13:09Nicky!
13:11What did the dragon want? Are you in trouble?
13:15No, I'm leaving. For good.
13:17Why?
13:19I'm fed up with this place.
13:21And Mummy thinks I should finish in Switzerland.
13:23Switzerland?
13:25Yeah, well, excuse me, Sally. Patty, I've got some goodbyes to make.
13:28Stuck up little show off.
13:29Yeah.
13:43Come in.
13:49Mrs. Denison?
13:50Yes.
13:51Do sit down.
13:52It's nice to meet you at long last.
13:57You might not feel so hospitable when I tell you why I'm here, Miss Davidson.
14:01Well, please go on.
14:03You know, in the years Nicky's been here, I wish we could have spoken more often.
14:07I'm afraid that's impossible. Charlville's a long way.
14:10Well, according to Nicky, travel doesn't bother you too much.
14:13Your European trips are legendary.
14:15But that's a lie.
14:17At which Nicky seems to have become quite adept.
14:21Your school has turned my daughter into an out-and-out little snob.
14:25And a liar as well.
14:27In the time she has been here, I have never known Nicky to tell an untruth.
14:32Except, apparently, about you.
14:37I work as a barmaid.
14:39She's ashamed of me.
14:41And you can no longer afford her fees?
14:44I've got the money in the bank. Do you want it in advance?
14:47No, but that's the reason she gave for leaving school.
14:50She...
14:52She wants to leave?
14:53Yes, apparently.
15:04I chose this school because I wanted the best for her.
15:07And all it's done is made a sneer at people like me.
15:11I gave her a choice last night.
15:13Either change her attitude or leave the school.
15:16She's done this to spite me.
15:18Mrs. Dennison.
15:20You and Nicky have a crisis.
15:23Now, normally, I would refuse to be involved.
15:25I haven't asked for your help.
15:27I talked to Nicky this morning.
15:30If you don't accept help from someone, you're going to lose your daughter.
15:42The papers are being prepared to release you from our responsibilities, Nicky.
16:02You've been in this office many times, haven't you?
16:04Yes.
16:05Did you know this was a photograph of my father?
16:08No.
16:09He farmed the same piece of stubborn dirt until the day he died.
16:14I was ten years old before I knew how to read.
16:17Well, how did you get to be?
16:19Did he give you the chance?
16:21Oh, heavens no.
16:22He disapproved of education for girls.
16:24But he was a remarkable man who wasn't degraded or destroyed by poverty.
16:29I loved him very much.
16:31I'm working on his biography at the moment.
16:34But then everybody will know.
16:36And?
16:38Who have you been talking to?
16:40Aunt Helen or Mum?
16:42I've been looking at your record.
16:44Good student.
16:45Incline to coast on your ability, I may add.
16:50I remember the frightened girl who arrived here five years ago from the bush.
16:55Now I see an independent, honest, intelligent young lady.
17:01Headmistresses take pride in that sort of transformation, Nicky.
17:07This school is highly regarded.
17:10It attracts the rich and powerful and their misconceptions about the way the world turns.
17:16Now I don't for one single moment think that your common sense would allow you to flirt with that kind of snobbery once you left here.
17:24But it's hurting your mother now very, very much.
17:28Now she signed the papers allowing you to leave if that's what you want.
17:33I want you to go to the library and think about that.
17:37In half an hour you will return here and give me your decision.
17:41Hello Helen dear.
17:54Hi there.
17:55Desmond never visits me these days.
17:56He's probably throwing himself into his work after the wedding fiasco.
17:59Hello Madge, how's Max?
18:01He's fine thanks Arlene.
18:02Oh come on you can tell me.
18:04I know Max attracts trouble like bees to honey.
18:07Des is at work Arlene.
18:09Yes I know he is.
18:10But I'll be there to surprise him when he comes home for lunch.
18:12But in the meantime you too can tell me everything.
18:15Well Jim is going to be picking me up in a moment.
18:18We have to collect Lucy from the hospital.
18:20Lucy?
18:21Yes a bee sting.
18:22We were very lucky.
18:23Yes if Clive hadn't turned out to be a doctor goodness knows.
18:26Well I, Clive a doctor.
18:27Well there you are you see Desmond never tells me anything.
18:30I mean he's gone so strange since he's been taking in borders.
18:33I mean there's Daphne, Ben, Zoe.
18:35And now Andrea and her son.
18:38Andrea?
18:39What Andrea?
18:40The old friend from Perth.
18:48Oh will you leave that thing alone?
18:50Long, long, long rubbish.
18:52It's mine!
18:54Little boys don't play with eggs.
18:56It's for Lucy.
19:00Just like finding a cockroach under a cupboard.
19:02Hm.
19:03I was wondering when you'd turn up.
19:06Why don't you pack up and leave and take your...
19:09...him with you?
19:12I don't think Des would like that.
19:15I thought I drove you out of his life ten years ago.
19:18Ten years?
19:20Hm.
19:24So much can happen in ten years.
19:29One guess, Granny.
19:30Yes, Granny.
19:31Music.
19:36.
19:40.
19:42.
19:46.
19:49.
19:51.
