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
00:36What do you mean? It's got nothing to do with the council?
00:38Better hear her out.
00:39Ah, here's Mr Archibald, now he'll tell you.
00:42Mr Archibald, nice to see you again.
00:44What's all this about?
00:45Well, there do seem to be a number of breaches of council regulations.
00:48Oh, that's ridiculous.
00:49Exceeding the licensed number of patrons for a start.
00:51This shop wasn't overcrowded. Look, there hasn't been any breach of fire regulations or anything like that.
00:55Don't forget the other matters we discussed.
00:57Mrs Mangle, Mrs Mangle, let me handle this.
00:59You're also contravening a number of health regulations by cooking pancakes in the front of the shop and not in the kitchen.
01:06I have a list here of specific breaches.
01:08Well, what will happen?
01:09Look, the council has no desire to be hard on anybody.
01:13If you call the contest off, I feel I can safely say that no more will be said.
01:18No way!
01:19Well, it's something perhaps you could consider, Daphne. I mean, it isn't all that important.
01:22No one's going to tell me what to do with my money!
01:24You're just an interfering old busybody, Nell Mangle.
01:27Just because I have a sense of civic duty doesn't give me the right...
01:29Civic sticky bean!
01:30You're right, calm down everybody!
01:32I think we should let Daphne sort it out. I mean, don't worry about the prize money.
01:36It's a matter of principle.
01:37No one's going to tell me what to do, Clive.
01:39I don't see we have much choice.
01:40Then I take it the competition is cancelled? Fine.
01:47Well, it doesn't look too good for your next job, does it?
01:51You know, good will, gambling, flouting the law.
01:55There are a lot of people who don't approve of that sort of thing.
01:58Is that right?
01:59Well, I reckon you've done me a favour.
02:01What?
02:02You're not very well-liked around here.
02:05Once people find out I'm up against you, they'll be queuing up with support.
02:16I understand an interfering old woman. Well, personally, I've never liked her.
02:19I mean, she must have a hide like an elephant to carry on the way. She does.
02:22She's just an old and lonely old woman who has to fill her life with something.
02:26Don't waste your sympathy on her, Helen.
02:28What?
02:29Or perhaps she's a victim of her time, a woman of her generation.
02:34Now, I know I may have referred to myself like that from time to time,
02:38but Nell Mangle and I cannot be compared.
02:41No, you can't.
02:42I mean, for instance, have you ever met her husband?
02:44Well, there you are, you see. I mean, that's it.
02:46The poor man probably sits alone in a darkened room nodding,
02:49yes, dear, no, dear. I mean, pathetic is the word for it.
02:52I wonder if Madge would like to join us for lunch.
02:54I'd like to think there's no ill feeling.
02:56Hmm, she's probably licking her wounds.
02:58After all, from what I hear, Madge is very proud of her reputation as a cook.
03:02I'd be very interested to hear what she has to say.
03:04No, no, I don't think I'll try and talk to her right now.
03:07It might be better to leave it for a while.
03:09Hmm, while the sound of defeat is not ringing quite so loudly in her ears.
03:13Oh, Eileen, it was only a silly competition.
03:15Hmm.
03:16Well, to a woman like Madge, public humiliation is not a thing to be taken lightly.
03:20You're exaggerating. There was no public humiliation. It was just a joke, really.
03:25I don't think Madge is in the mood for jokes at the moment.
03:36Hello, Fred.
03:37Oh, Madge.
03:38Oh, I'll have the same again, please, Jack. What'll you have?
03:40Ah, lemon, lime and soda, thank you.
03:42Jack, I'd like you to meet my wife, Madge. This is Jack.
03:45How do you do?
03:46Pleased to meet you, Mrs Mitchell. But haven't I seen you in the area before?
03:49Oh, yes, I'm Max Ramsey's sister.
03:52I've been staying with him for a while.
03:54There you go. I'll stick it on the slate.
03:57Good, Jack, thanks.
04:04Wow, that's one for the books.
04:06Hmm?
04:07Fred and only Madge.
04:08So?
04:09Oh, on the same planet, okay.
04:11Maybe even in the same city if they couldn't do anything about it.
04:13Yeah.
04:14But at the same table.
04:15Oh, how did the pancake competition go?
04:17Don't ask.
04:18Counsel put the garbage on it.
04:20Really?
04:21That Mangles woman wouldn't have had anything to do with it, would she?
04:24Everything.
04:25Yeah.
04:26I think I know something you blokes don't know.
04:28Yeah?
04:29Mrs Mangles' nephew was going to open up a coffee shop in the Cornwall Road
04:32where that old Chinese takeaway used to be.
04:34So that's it.
04:36I don't know until Daphne finds out that.
04:38Yeah, but do you want to be the one who actually tells her?
04:41Hmm?
04:43Hi.
04:44Hmm.
04:45Um, should I go out and come in again?
04:46Oh, I'm sorry.
04:47Don't mind me.
04:48I'm in a foul mood.
04:49Didn't the pancake comp work out?
04:50Oh, it was fine until Mrs Mangles brought the council in on it and the whole thing had
05:03to be called off.
05:04Yeah, that woman.
05:05You know, she comes into the bank and she wants the money wrapped up in a plastic bag.
05:10Oh, what Danny told me.
05:13Hmm.
05:14So, what are you going to do?
05:17Look, now this is a plan of the coffee shop and this is a sketch of the place at Lassiter's.
05:24Yeah.
05:25Now I've just figured out that all the furniture from this place is going to fit in here really
05:29nicely.
05:30And the pancake competition might just give me a bit of good will to take with me.
05:34Mrs Mangles' little stunt might have worked.
05:36Well, no one likes to see anyone go down the tubes like that.
05:39You got it all worked out, haven't you?
05:40Yep.
05:41Well, talking about furniture, have you decided what you're going to do with that stuff you
05:50left at my place?
05:51Oh, dears, I'm sorry.
05:54I've just been so flat out lately.
05:56I haven't had a chance to even think about it.
05:58Yeah, I know.
06:00Well, I thought, why don't we go out to dinner tonight and discuss the furniture?
06:08Strictly as friends, of course.
06:11Why not?
06:12It would be really nice.
06:13Okay, I'll pick you up at seven.
06:18Well, I didn't think it would turn out like this, did you?
06:22No, of course not.
06:24Damn silly bickering after all we've been through.
06:27I don't want to fight Fred.
06:29I'll always hold a candle for you.
06:34Me too.
06:39It was the kids.
06:42Always running after them.
06:43Charlene, this, Henry, that.
06:45Man began to feel like he wasn't needed.
06:48You don't need to feel like that.
06:50Oh, well, she's a good kid, Susan.
06:53Not intelligent like you, but warm, you know.
06:57I don't mind telling you how I felt a bit strange starting up a family of my age.
07:00I mean, a man's not getting any younger.
07:02But now I have a whole new future to think about.
07:07Madge, you can kick the ring.
07:12Do what you like with it.
07:14Sell it, keep it for your old age.
07:16But I don't want any further claims on me or the house or the business, okay?
07:22God, goodness me, is not the time I'll have to go.
07:30It's been good seeing you, Madge.
07:35Just a minute.
07:53Hey, Lenny.
07:54Hi, Dad.
07:55Hey, listen, shouldn't you...
07:56Now, before you say anything, I went boring English because I'd rather be with you.
08:00Well, you'd better not make a habit of that.
08:02Well, that'll be a bit hard with you and Coffs Harbour, won't it?
08:05I didn't promise you any miracles.
08:06Did you even speak to her?
08:08Yes, I did twice.
08:08She just left here 20 minutes ago, as a matter of fact.
08:10Well, what did she say?
08:12It's no go, love.
08:13You know how she is.
08:15Yeah, I know.
08:16But we did come to a financial arrangement that covers you.
08:18That's all she ever thinks about.
08:20How much it's costing her to have me here.
08:23Do I have to stay here?
08:24Oh, Lenny.
08:25I hate it here.
08:27I'd just rather be with you.
08:30Sweetheart.
08:31That's all I want, too.
08:33But Susan's having a tough time of it at the moment.
08:37And, well, we shouldn't risk upsetting her at this stage.
08:40But I get on well with Susan.
08:41And I could help when the baby comes.
08:43No, just leave it now, eh?
08:46Look, when the baby's born...
08:48Can I come home?
08:51Yeah, I promise.
08:52Oh, great.
08:52Would you like another drink, Mrs. Mitchell?
09:13What's up?
09:13Mick said you wanted to see me.
09:15You used to be a doctor, didn't you?
09:16Yeah.
09:16I reckon you might have another patient out with you.
09:19Mrs. Mitchell.
09:20She's been sitting like that for half an hour, hardly moving.
09:22Almost like she's in shock.
09:24What?
09:24Yeah.
09:25She was with her husband before, yakking away all smiles.
09:28And he left.
09:29Bingo.
09:30All right.
09:31I'll see what I can do.
09:34Madge.
09:37Madge.
09:38It's Clive.
09:40You okay?
09:41You don't look so good.
09:42What's happened, Madge?
09:47Is it something to do with Fred?
09:48Jack says you were talking to him before.
09:51Would you like to talk to Fred?
09:53I'll go and get him now, if you like.
09:57He lied to me.
10:01Fred lied to me.
10:05He always lied to me.
10:07Would you mind taking me home, please, Clive?
10:13Of course.
10:24Hi.
10:25Hello.
10:27Shouldn't you be at work?
10:28No, I had to go to the hardware store to get some ready mix.
10:30Took a wrong turn somewhere, didn't you?
10:32Well, you know me, Daph.
10:33No sense of direction.
10:34Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
10:35We'll have Mrs Mangle all head up again.
10:37Now that was some council regulation against kissing in coffee shops.
10:40Well, as a matter of fact, Mrs Mangle is the reason why I'm here.
10:44What?
10:46I've just discovered the reason why Mrs Mangle is so keen to put you out of business.
10:50Daphne, these are great.
10:51Shane!
10:51She's got a nephew who's opening up a coffee shop in Cornwell Road.
10:58It's pretty obvious, isn't it?
10:59She's just trying to eliminate the opposition.
11:02Oh, of all the rotten, lousy...
11:04Poor Daph, you've had a lousy day, hey?
11:08What you need is to relax.
11:09Dr Ramsey prescribes that you can kick up your heels tonight.
11:12I'm sorry, I can't.
11:15I'm going out with Des.
11:17What?
11:17Oh, don't look like that.
11:18It's just he's still got my furniture and we agreed to get together and discuss what to do with it.
11:22Well, can't you put him off?
11:23Tell him you'll see him tomorrow.
11:25I've already agreed to go.
11:26You just said yourself it's not very important.
11:29It's just some furniture.
11:30What do you mean it's just some furniture?
11:32Why can't it wait till tomorrow?
11:34Because I've agreed to go and I'm not cancelling now.
11:37It'd be very rude.
11:38Oh, I see.
11:39You can't hurt Des's feelings, but it doesn't matter what I think.
11:42And just what do you think, hmm?
11:48I've got to get back to work.
11:55Come on in.
11:56I'll excuse this mess.
11:58Living with Max and the boys, I'm used to mess.
12:03Oh, Clive, this is a terrible imposition.
12:04I better go.
12:05No, it isn't.
12:05And no, you haven't.
12:06You're in no condition to go home.
12:08Now, that's a professional opinion, by the way.
12:10Now, you sit there.
12:16That's better.
12:18Besides, I don't get many visitors.
12:21How am I going to feel if you leave straight away?
12:23I'll think it was something I did.
12:24I won't sleep worrying about it.
12:26When I lose sleep, I get irritable.
12:27I'll start making life impossible for everyone.
12:29Now, do you want that on your conscience?
12:30I suppose not.
12:31There you go.
12:33You really are crazy, you know, Clive.
12:35So everybody tells me.
12:37Now, you want some advice from a crazy man?
12:39When you do go home, you get out the crockery that your cousin Mavis sent you, and you've
12:43always hated, but you're too polite to tell her so.
12:45And you take it out and throw it against the wall, piece by piece.
12:48I haven't got a cousin Mavis.
12:51Everybody has a cousin Mavis.
12:53Now, you've got to get it out of your system, Madge.
12:58He was using me all along the line.
13:02That's what really hurts.
13:03He made me think he wanted me back.
13:15But all he really wanted was to get out and support you, Charlene.
13:22Charlene mustn't find out, Clive.
13:25She mustn't.
13:25Is Mum back yet?
13:34I want a word with her.
13:36Haven't seen her.
13:37What's up with you?
13:39Nothing.
13:41Your mum will be okay.
13:42She's probably just upset about losing the competition.
13:44She's lost more than that.
13:46Dad's going back to Coffs Harbour.
13:48I thought they were going to work it out.
13:50Me too.
13:51Dad said he would have taken her back, but Mum didn't want a bar of it.
13:55That's rough, honey.
13:56I was really counting on it.
13:59Can't always get what you want.
14:01I remember when my folks split up, there was nothing I could do about that either.
14:05But what about me?
14:07Doesn't what I want matter?
14:09Not much.
14:12Look.
14:14I know you love your old man, but maybe your mum knows what she's doing for you.
14:18Oh, sure.
14:19All mum wants is money.
14:21Oh, I think there's more in it than that.
14:23Your mum's always been straight with you.
14:26Not about Dad, she hasn't.
14:27She blames him for everything.
14:29She never thinks the way she carried on might have driven him away.
14:33And now she's doing it again.
14:35Well, if that's the way it is, I'm sorry.
14:37I don't think there's anything you can do to change it.
14:40So Pitt's trying to understand your parents?
14:43Hey.
14:44Here, maybe that'll cheer you up.
14:46What's this?
14:47Way back five tickets.
14:49I was going to take Daphne, but she's got another date.
14:52Way back five?
14:53Five, yeah.
14:54Oh, great.
14:55I'll see what Scott's doing.
14:56Thanks.
14:57Who's Daphne going out with?
15:00Des.
15:01Des?
15:01I thought that was all over with.
15:05So did I.
15:07Guess we both lost out, didn't we?
15:12Oh.
15:13So, wait.
15:14Oh, thanks.
15:16Yeah, so Andrew and I finally come to an agreement.
15:18I'm glad.
15:19Now, I'll keep on acting as Bradley's father into...
15:21Well, Bradley's father figure.
15:25And they'll stay on at my place to land if he gets a job to support us.
15:29No, it's great what you've done for that family.
15:31Oh, Bradley's a good little bloke.
15:33I know a lot of people around here might dispute that.
15:35Oh, yeah, that's because they don't know him very well.
15:37Well, I think he's very lucky to have you.
15:41Well, I don't think there's much chance of me having kids, so I guess I'm the lucky one.
15:47Nothing quite like having kids around the place, is there?
15:54What are we going to do about the furniture?
15:56Oh, my after-buy still stands.
15:59I haven't got the faintest idea what it's all worth.
16:01Well, we could get somebody to value it.
16:05Oh, I don't know.
16:07It all seems a bit formal.
16:10Yeah, I suppose it does, after all, it would.
16:14Yeah, that's what I mean.
16:21What are you going to have?
16:26Eureka!
16:27Isn't that what Archimedes said?
16:28Michael, sit down.
16:29This will blow your brains out.
16:31Clive, I am sitting...
16:32It is brilliant.
16:33It is so simple, but then all the best ideas are...
16:35This is going to rank alongside Marconi, Bell, Edison.
16:38You've invented something.
16:39Better than invention, this is a concept.
16:42Now, wait for it.
16:44Gift of the Gab.
16:46I beg your pardon?
16:47Ever since the caveman first grunted at his cavewoman, we have needed communication.
16:51Now, some of us are good at it, and some of us, well, look around.
16:54There I was, lying in the tub, minding my own business, and then, wham, it hit me.
16:59Gift of the Gab.
16:59It's a multi-million dollar proposition.
17:02You're too nervous to propose to your girlfriend?
17:03Gift of the Gab will do it for you.
17:05You need a raise, but you're frightened that the boss will sack you?
17:08Gift of the Gab will lay it on the line.
17:10Think of the applications.
17:11So, you sort of act as a go-between?
17:13A mouthpiece.
17:14A mouthpiece.
17:15A verbal enforcer.
17:16Any sort of message.
17:17Love, hate, business.
17:19What do you reckon?
17:20Sounds good.
17:21It has possibilities, doesn't it?
17:22Now, Shane has a good head on his shoulders.
17:24Mate, I've got an idea to throw it to you.
17:26Not to know, mate.
17:26I'm not in the mood.
17:28Oh, Shane, it's good.
17:29You should hear it.
17:32You want to talk about it?
17:34Yeah.
17:36Did Daphne say anything to you while she was going out with Des tonight?
17:38Look, it's none of my business.
17:40I didn't ask.
17:41She's old enough to look after herself.
17:42She knows what she's doing.
17:44Oh, great.
17:45How would she feel if I started going out with other women?
17:47Well, Des isn't just another man.
17:49Look, they only went out to talk about furniture.
17:51Yeah.
17:52That's what she told me, too.
18:00Thanks, mate.
18:03This place isn't too bad.
18:05My chicken was nice, anyway.
18:07You didn't seem too wrapped in the fish, though.
18:09Oh.
18:11Do you remember that Italian place we went to the night that...
18:15The night we got engaged.
18:21There's something about the sauce.
18:24Sorry?
18:26You're touching something extra.
18:28I've never been able to find it anywhere else.
18:30I'm sorry.
18:32Why didn't you ask them what it was?
18:34I don't go there anymore.
18:36Oh, that's silly.
18:38I mean...
18:39Well, it was a special night.
18:42Yeah.
18:44You sorry you came tonight?
18:46Well, of course not.
18:48Jane wasn't doing press, though.
18:51Yeah, well, I can understand that.
18:54He only has to live with it for one night.
18:55I mean, I go through it every day.
18:57Yeah.
19:02It's getting late.
19:04Yeah, we'll head off soon.
19:10Here they are now.
19:11Look, if you take my advice, mate, you'll watch what you say.
19:14If you keep holding on to death this tight, you're going to blow the whole thing.
19:19How'd you like a coffee?
19:20Oh, that'd be great, mate.
19:21What a good idea.
19:22Why don't we all have some coffee?
19:23Hi.
19:25Well, how's the furniture business?
19:27All sorted out, or is it still open to further negotiation?
19:29Shane, please.
19:31Have I said something?
19:32I shouldn't have.
19:33All I want to know is how many more little intimate dinners it's going to take to that
19:36furniture's gotten rid of.
