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
00:36Well, you certainly enjoyed that.
00:38Fair you go, Nikki. She took me by surprise.
00:40I don't know why she kissed me. It didn't mean anything.
00:42Yeah, but you still spent the whole afternoon with her.
00:44She wanted the company. I mean, she's trying to organise her life. I can relate to that.
00:48Well, I thought we were together, you know.
00:51Nikki, right now I can't be a couple with anybody.
00:53I mean, I've got so many things to sort out.
00:55So where does that leave me?
00:57I want us to still be friends. We haven't changed that, have we?
01:00I knew I was coming on too heavy.
01:02It's not you. I'm just feeling a bit claustro.
01:05And I'm worried about how I'm going to survive. I've got to get a job.
01:07So you went off with Lenny?
01:08No, I told you.
01:10Well, it's obvious you prefer her company to mine.
01:12What is it? Her personality.
01:14I'm too straight. That's the problem, isn't it?
01:16Of course not. And there's nothing at all between me and Lenny.
01:18I mean, we're just friends, just like you and me.
01:20Oh, don't make it any worse by lying, Mike.
01:22You went all gooey-eyed when she kissed you just now.
01:24Well, if you want her, you can have her.
01:33Why did you walk out of school today?
01:35Are you listening to me, Charlene? I asked you a question.
01:38I'm just getting a drink.
01:39All right, all right. Have your drink.
01:41And then I want you to tell me why you left school today, your first day at a new school.
01:46I thought you'd already heard all that from the neighbourhood dobber, Nicky Denison.
01:49Oh, don't be so petty, Charlene.
01:51For your information, Nicky let it slip quite unintentionally.
01:54I bet.
01:55Anyway, that's beside the point. I want to know why you wagged school.
01:58I didn't miss anything important. And half my wife's not going to hurt me.
02:02I'll be the judge of that. While I'm responsible for you, you will do as you're told.
02:06And that includes going to school when you're supposed to.
02:09Well, that's what I was doing today. Trying to fix things so you won't be responsible for me anymore.
02:13What on earth do you mean?
02:15I went for a job. I didn't get it, but I will get something. I've made up my mind.
02:19A job? What sort of job?
02:22Apprentice motor mechanic.
02:24Oh, Charlene. I don't know where you get these fanciful ideas about leaving school,
02:30let alone becoming a motor mechanic. Now, you listen to me carefully.
02:33You will finish school and then you will study something sensible, like a course at a secretarial school.
02:39But I don't want to...
02:40I don't care what you want!
02:41What are you trying to turn me into? A boring little goody-goody like Nicky?
02:45I'll have you know that Nicky is a very pleasant young lady.
02:48She is a pain.
02:49Well, we'll see about that.
02:51As you're going to be spending a great deal of time with her,
02:54maybe some of her qualities will rub off on you.
02:57What do you mean I'll be spending time with her?
02:59I've organised your accommodation.
03:02You're going to be sharing a room with Nicky at the Robinsons.
03:05A what?
03:07Come on, Nicky. Tell me what's wrong.
03:10Come on. What's happened?
03:14I had a fight with Mike. It was awful.
03:17Oh. What was it about?
03:20Well, it was all my fault.
03:22I was only trying to give him some sympathy and he thinks I'm suffocating him.
03:26Oh, Nicky, you know Mike's having a hard time with his parents at the moment.
03:29The last thing he needs is for anyone else to tell him what to do.
03:33Well, I understand how he feels and I was trying to give him some support.
03:37He just took it all the wrong way.
03:39Listen, I'm due at the coffee shop. Things will work out all right, Nicky.
03:46Thanks, Scott.
03:47That's it.
03:49Are you sure you're not friends anymore?
03:52I mean, sometimes people say things they don't mean.
03:54But it was all my fault. I started it.
03:57Well, maybe Mike regrets it as much as you do.
04:00Anyway, I've got some good news that will cheer you up at the moment.
04:04Good.
04:05You know how lonely you get for friends your own age?
04:08Well, I've spoken to Madge and I've arranged for Charlene, I mean Lenny, to come and live here.
04:15To share your room with you.
04:17Lenny?
04:18Oh, how could you?
04:20I'm glad to see business is picking up.
04:22Yeah, the word's certainly spreading.
04:23What word?
04:24A new publicity campaign to boost business.
04:26Every customer from now on can win money by shopping here.
04:29Money?
04:30I'm all ears.
04:32Scott?
04:33Do you know where Mike is?
04:35I think he's at your place.
04:36Well, why isn't he here?
04:38Is anything wrong?
04:39Well, sort of.
04:40Well, he and Nicky just had a row.
04:42She tried to explain it to me, but it didn't make any sense.
04:45Well, why didn't he call to say he was running late?
04:48And where was he this afternoon?
04:50The school actually phoned here to see if I knew where he was.
04:52Yeah, well, I'm sure he'll turn up soon.
04:54He can tell you himself then.
04:56Can I have a milkshake before I start work day?
04:58Me, sure.
04:59Here you go, Zoe.
05:00Is this on Paul's account?
05:01Yeah.
05:02Thanks.
05:03We're working back late again.
05:04Not too late, I hope.
05:05Now, spot one milkshake.
05:06I'll see you all later.
05:07See ya.
05:08Hang on, Zoe.
05:09You haven't got your ticket.
05:10What ticket?
05:11I told you.
05:12Our new publicity campaign.
05:13Ladies and gentlemen, announcing the great pancake competition and your chance to win
05:17$100.
05:18Yes, folks.
05:19Tell you things.
05:20Every customer gets a ticket and then two tickets will be drawn.
05:22The lucky contestants will be called back for the big pancake bake-off.
05:26Make a pancake.
05:27Toss it high and you could be $100 richer.
05:29One ticket per customer every time you shop here.
05:32That's all grand.
05:33She makes the best pancakes.
05:34I think it's a great idea.
05:35I can always do $100.
05:36Yeah, Scott.
05:37Oh.
05:40There you go.
05:41Well, I'm gonna fly.
05:42Bye.
05:43Byeya.
05:44Oh.
05:45Hi, Mike.
05:46Be prepared to bother you.
05:47I think you're in trouble.
05:48Sorry I'm so late, Daph.
05:49I'll do some extra work to catch up.
05:51Alright.
05:52But ring if it happens again, will you?
05:54We were worried.
05:55I lost track of the time.
05:56But where were you, Mike?
05:58You weren't at school this afternoon.
06:00I know that much.
06:01I was looking for a job.
06:02A full-time job.
06:04What about uni?
06:05What about the teacher training you were gonna do?
06:07Oh, that was only an idea.
06:09Since when?
06:10I thought you were taking it seriously.
06:12Look, I've made up my mind.
06:14I'm gonna quit school.
06:16Well, who wants to be a school teacher anyway?
06:23Well, you took your time.
06:25Sorry.
06:30Hey, what's this?
06:31Some sort of raffle ticket?
06:32Careful.
06:33I could win $100 for that.
06:35Don't tell me you're gambling again.
06:37I mean, how many thousands of dollars was it you fritted away on the instant lottery
06:40without winning a bean?
06:41Oh, don't exaggerate.
06:42Oh, that's not a raffle ticket.
06:43It's a pancake ticket.
06:44The ticket's thrown, you have to cook a pancake and you could win $100.
06:48Oh, and this is Daphne's great scheme to boost business, isn't it?
06:51You shouldn't sneer, Paul.
06:52It's working.
06:53Yeah, but we're talking peanuts or pancakes.
06:55What's the difference?
06:56The thing is, even if she does make a few extra bucks in the cash register,
06:59it won't change anything.
07:00The coffee shop's got no future.
07:02Whose side are you on?
07:04A side that makes money.
07:06I guess you'd say that.
07:07That's your answer to everything, isn't it?
07:09Money, money, money, money.
07:11Oh, so I take it you don't expect to get paid overtime tonight?
07:14What?
07:15Of course I expect to be paid.
07:17Money, money, money.
07:19I still think you should admire Daphne for trying.
07:24After all, if she does increase trade, maybe she'll make enough money to buy a new business.
07:27Ah, now that's more like it.
07:29If she admits defeat and just starts working towards something new.
07:32What makes you so sure that she won't convince the new owners to keep her on?
07:35Because it's not good business.
07:36It just won't happen.
07:37I thought Daphne was supposed to be a friend of yours.
07:40She is, but that's my personal life.
07:42We're discussing a business situation here.
07:44Now, can you take notes and eat at the same time?
07:46Sure.
07:47Would you like me to tap dance as well?
07:50There we are.
07:52Ah, I see everyone's eating their pancakes already.
07:55Yeah, they're eating them to find out what's expected of them.
07:57Could even start a craze.
07:59Mike, I heard about you and Nicky.
08:02I'm sorry, mate.
08:03Look, forget it.
08:04I have.
08:05I wish you could cheer up a bit.
08:07The pancakes are bringing in the customers and your long face is driving out again.
08:16I hope you've still got an open mind about your future, Mike.
08:20There's no need for you to leave school.
08:21That's right.
08:22It's not as if we're throwing you out.
08:23Look, I won't take charity.
08:25I'll either pay my own way or move out.
08:27I'm not going to bludge.
08:28You're not bludging.
08:29Mike, don't you think it's time you told us what happened with your parents yesterday?
08:32Ever since you got back, you've been stamping around with a face like Darth Vader.
08:35Okay.
08:36Look, my father's persuaded my mother not to support me anymore.
08:43She reckons I have to stand on my own two feet.
08:46What use are parents anyway?
08:48I'll show them.
08:49Well, at least let us help out with some moral support.
08:51Oh, will you lay off, Clive?
08:52And you too, Daphne.
08:53I don't need anybody's help with anything.
08:55I've had enough of being pampered.
08:57I've broken up with Nicky and I'll break up with you two unless you don't lay off.
09:05Feel better?
09:14Mm-hmm.
09:15I'm sorry I was silly before.
09:18Oh, you weren't silly.
09:19And I should apologise to you.
09:21I arranged for Lenny to move in here without even asking you.
09:24I thought you'd be pleased.
09:26It's alright for Lenny to move in.
09:28I'm a guest here myself.
09:30It's your house.
09:31Oh, you're much more than a guest, your family.
09:34I'll tell Madge to send Lenny somewhere else.
09:37No, I'd better move in.
09:39It'd be just like boarding school.
09:41Do you miss boarding school?
09:43Not anymore.
09:45There's no point.
09:46It wouldn't be the same even if I went back there.
09:49It's a waste of time missing something you can't have.
09:51Does that apply to Mike?
09:53Well, Mike's a bit different.
09:55Good.
09:56Because I have something here.
09:58I found it at the post office today.
10:00What is it?
10:01Well, hopefully it's something that's going to help Mike.
10:03I know.
10:04What if I persuade Lucy to go in with Nicky and then I can have Lucy's room?
10:08Oh, Charlene, you already agreed to the arrangements.
10:11Don't start that up again now.
10:12Okay, okay.
10:13Oh, and would you please move out of my way?
10:15Why don't you put the cutlery on the table?
10:17Everybody will be home this evening so there'll be five of us.
10:20No, no, no, not there.
10:21The matching set's on the dresser.
10:23What's the matter with these?
10:24You can't eat with things that don't match, you know.
10:26You know, that's just the attitude I'd expect from you.
10:29I suppose your father and his girlfriend eat off paper plates.
10:31No, Susan's a fantastic cook.
10:33Makes the most amazing meals.
10:35All gourmet stuff, you know.
10:37You've got no tact or sensitivity, have you?
10:40I really thought when you got down here you'd try and patch things up between us.
10:43Well, I haven't noticed you making any effort.
10:46All you've done is pick on me.
10:47That's not true.
10:49I just...
10:50I just feel that we don't know each other anymore.
10:53Do you want me to go back to Cross Harbour?
10:55No, of course I don't.
10:56It'll make things easier.
10:57I'll go back if you want me to.
10:59Dad said I can.
11:00I don't want to disillusion you but I've spoken to your father and he doesn't want you back.
11:05He and his floozy want to be on their own.
11:08So you see, you're stuck with me whether you like it or not.
11:12And while you're here you're going to do as you're told.
11:15You don't like me, do you?
11:16Oh, don't be silly Charlene, of course I like.
11:18No, you're lying.
11:19Charlene!
11:20You're so cold with me.
11:21Even when you say you care about me and you do things for me, you're still cold.
11:24Don't you call me a liar.
11:25Well, tell me the truth.
11:27Just say it if you don't like me.
11:29Alright.
11:30I will tell you the truth.
11:32I don't like your attitude towards me.
11:35I don't like your sloppy approach to life.
11:38And your tactlessness and insensitivity are downright antisocial.
11:42You are my daughter and I love you and I care about you.
11:47But no.
11:49Right now I don't like you very much at all.
11:52Mike!
11:57Wait until you see this.
11:59Aunt Helen got it from the post office.
12:01It's for kids who want to stay at school but aren't being supported.
12:03You can register and get money.
12:05A handout you mean?
12:06Well, yeah.
12:07What you have to do is you have to fill in the form and then the government come and check your situation at home.
12:11They check what you're doing at school and things like that.
12:13And then you get money.
12:14This solves all your problems.
12:15This doesn't solve anything.
12:17There's no way I'm going to do this.
12:18Mike, why not?
12:20Because I'm not going to tell my private life to some stranger in a government office.
12:23Well, I'll come with you if you like.
12:25Clive, I'm not a kid.
12:26And I'm not a bludger either.
12:28It's exactly the sort of thing my parents would expect me to do.
12:30Mike, you're entitled to these benefits.
12:32Why don't you even fill out the form and find out more about it?
12:34No.
12:35Why don't you get off my back?
12:37You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
12:44How can you do that to Nikki?
12:46You could see how excited she was about being able to help you.
12:49I'm just getting it from all sides.
12:51It's help you're getting.
12:53That's what we're all trying to do is help you.
12:56I am trying to make it on my own.
12:58Is that too hard to understand?
13:00I don't want you all running around after me and I don't want help from the government either.
13:04Have you thought what's going to happen if you can't get a job for a while?
13:06You'll end up on the dole.
13:08The government doesn't want that any more than you do.
13:10That's why they have these special benefits.
13:13If you become a teacher, you'll pay plenty of tax to benefit some other kid in years to come.
13:17You won't do that if you're a sometimes employed, unskilled labourer.
13:21I didn't think about it like that.
13:23Well, if you ask me, you're not thinking too clearly about anything at the moment.
13:25Look, Mike, at your parents' place yesterday.
13:27Clive, they don't want me.
13:30I wonder why I'm not thinking too clearly.
13:35Look, I know they hurt you, but it's not going to help you by taking it out on the rest of us, is it?
13:43I'm sorry, Daphne.
13:45Clive.
13:46No damage done.
13:48So, let's decide one way or the other.
13:52Will you at least investigate the special benefits?
13:55Well, I guess it won't hurt to read the form.
13:57Good on you.
13:58No.
13:59Reading it's no good.
14:00Will you fill out the form and apply for the funding?
14:03Okay, I'll give it a go.
14:04Smart thinking.
14:05Now, let's have no more talk about you moving out.
14:07At least not until you've done your HSC and finished high school.
14:10Alright?
14:11Yeah.
14:12Thanks, Clive.
14:16Now, what about Nicky?
14:17Well, Daphne, even if I get the government grant, I still can't afford to take Nicky out or take anybody out.
14:23Well, that's up to you.
14:25What I meant was I think you should apologise to her.
14:29You can go home if you like.
14:34We'll manage.
14:35Alright, I'll see you later.
14:41Well, how about tomorrow night then?
14:43Mmm.
14:44You know, if you like, we can try Laceda's.
14:46Good.
14:48Okay, I look forward to seeing you then, Andrea.
14:50Bye-bye.
14:53Is something wrong?
14:56Should it be?
14:57Oh, you don't approve.
14:59I didn't say that.
15:00People in glass houses, remember?
15:02Exactly.
15:03Even if she does have a child.
15:05So?
15:06Well, correction.
15:07A child isn't exactly appropriate.
15:10Look, for your information, and that's all it is, Andrea happens to be a nice lady and we happen to like each other.
15:17Just friends out for a good time, is it?
15:19Something like that.
15:23You obviously don't know Andrea as well as you say you do.
15:25And you don't know when to keep your opinions to yourself.
15:28Zoe, you don't understand adult relationships.
15:30You mean relationships with no feelings attached.
15:32You're right.
15:33I don't understand them and I don't want to.
15:36Why aren't you trying to help Daphne?
15:39You just turned against her.
15:44Oh, how could I do it?
15:45I'd do it.
15:46I've mixed personal life and business again.
15:48Forgive me, boss.
15:49I'm so sorry.
15:53I'll go now, Mum.
15:54Ready then?
15:55Yes, Mum.
15:56You wouldn't like to wait for the boys get back?
15:57No, I'm ready to go.
15:58Oh, everything packed?
16:00I'm only moving next door.
16:01If I've forgotten anything I need, I'll come back for you.
16:03All right then, Charlene.
16:04Off you go.
16:05Now, do remember that you're a guest there.
16:07Try to be helpful.
16:08Do the washing up, that sort of thing.
16:09I know how to behave.
16:11Oh, and be particularly polite to Jim Robinson.
16:13It's very good of him to agree to have you.
16:15Just because you don't like me doesn't mean the same goes for everyone else.
16:18You don't have to lecture me on how to make friends.
16:20I'm your mother.
16:21I have expectations for my children.
16:23Don't I know it?
16:24I've never lived up to a single one of them yet.
16:26Neither did Henry.
16:27Look what happened to him.
16:28Charlene!
16:33I never discussed Henry's stealing with you, but you grew up knowing about it.
16:37He stole right throughout his childhood.
16:39We did everything we could, but nothing could stop him.
16:42Don't you know why?
16:44We grew up with so many rules, the only fun in life was breaking them.
16:47Well, what was I supposed to do, condone his stealing?
16:50I covered for Henry time after time.
16:53That's why we never had any money for luxuries.
16:56I paid up to keep Henry out of court.
16:59But when he stole from the company, there was nothing I could do.
17:01He went too far.
17:03You could at least have got him out on bar before the trial.
17:06You washed your hands of him the moment the police took him away.
17:08Oh, Charlene, no.
17:09You've got it all wrong.
17:10Henry's counsel expected him to get off on a good behaviour bond.
17:15And then everything started to go wrong.
17:17We got a stern judge in a bad mood who was fed up with teenage boys in trouble.
17:21Yeah, now I was in jail for 18 months.
17:24You could have helped if you'd made an effort.
17:27I'm going to the Robertsons now.
17:30Charlene, I do love you.
17:34And I'll be here if you need me.
17:37I tell you what, I'll come over now and see you get settled.
17:39No, don't worry.
17:41I won't embarrass you.
17:43Bye.
17:50Charlene!
17:52Wait, I'm coming with you!
17:58Nicky?
17:59Mike's here, sir.
18:00Mike!
18:01Hi, Nicky.
18:02Can I talk to you for a minute?
18:03Sure.
18:04Oh, hello, Mike.
18:05Hi.
18:06Gran, can I see you for a minute?
18:07Yeah.
18:08Just in.
18:09Quick.
18:10In here.
18:11Quick.
18:12Look, um...
18:14I'm really sorry I was such a louse before.
18:17Well, I haven't really got an excuse.
18:19It's just that when I saw Mum, I was in a real tailspin and...
18:23Look, I forgive you.
18:25Well, that benefits thing sounds pretty good.
18:27I'm going to apply for it.
18:29Thanks for showing me.
18:30Look, I said I forgive you.
18:32I've forgotten all about it already.
18:34How's that?
18:35Great.
18:40Oh, I am sorry.
18:42Maybe I'll go out and try that again.
18:43Oh, Charlene, what kind of an arrival is this?
18:45You didn't even knock.
18:47Charlene, welcome.
18:51Bit dark in here, isn't it?
18:52Lenny.
18:53Charlene.
18:54My friend's calling me Lenny.
18:55Um, jeez, you're travelling, what?
18:56Yeah, most of my staff's at Dad's.
18:57Actually, it's on the way here along with my belongings.
19:00I told Fred I didn't want that woman using my things.
19:03Susan's okay.
19:04We like each other a lot.
19:06Look, I'd better go.
19:08Oh, I'll see you out.
19:11Look, I'm sorry we got interrupted.
19:13People usually knock.
19:14Yeah, I'll see you soon, okay?
19:15I'll call for you in the morning.
19:17Yeah.
19:21Uh, Nicky, now that Mike's gone, aren't you going to welcome Charlene?
19:24I mean, Lenny, show her your room.
19:27Yes, okay.
19:30You know what?
19:31I'm going to really enjoy living here.
19:39That's about as far as I can go with that one, Paul.
19:41Can I go home?
19:42I thought you wanted to get some more overtime in.
19:44Oh, I suppose I can stay if you've got more work for me.
19:46Might help me pay off my credit card bills.
19:48Nah, that's it for tonight.
19:49Just file, let them go.
19:50Uh-huh.
19:57It's you.
19:58You're the one.
19:59Sorry?
20:00Daphne's coffee shop, the company that's pushing her out of business.
20:02It's Farnat's by the Rosemary Daniels Corporation.
20:05That's you.
20:06Zoe, I told you to file those papers, not read them.
20:09How dare you?
20:10Now, whatever you think you've read, you can forget it.
20:12Because it's got nothing to do with you.
20:13Look, I only looked in that file to see what you've been working on all evening.
20:16It was curiosity, that's all.
20:18What you're doing is despicable.
20:20Daphne is a friend of mine and you're the one who's forcing her out of business.
