Short filmTranscript
00:00All of them. I'm not driving anymore.
00:02Sonny and Dana are helping me throw a birthday party for Archie.
00:08It's going to be a long day. Do you want me to get your wheelchair from the car?
00:11Oh, come on. I can handle a one-year-old's birthday party.
00:14Hunter, can I get your wheelchair from the car?
00:16Nope, I'm fine, baby. Thanks. Come on, let's not miss the cake.
00:21Okay.
00:24You getting out?
00:27I, uh, I don't think I can.
00:40Okay, you and Sonny hold tight. I'll be there in a few minutes.
00:42All right. Okay, bye.
00:44Everything all right?
00:45No, Dana needs a hand. I've got to run.
00:47Right now? When will you be back?
00:49Well, I don't know. What about the gym?
00:52Well, you could try sweet-talking Lacey and help him again.
00:56Well, what are my chances there, do you reckon?
00:58Slight. Good luck.
01:07Hey.
01:10Um.
01:12JP reckons that you weren't happy about today.
01:15Well, you wouldn't be happy either if you were left in charge of dirty gym wear for a guy who
01:19doesn't serve it.
01:20So does Tanya have a problem with?
01:22Yeah, obviously.
01:25Do you mind telling me why?
01:28Okay.
01:31That was a little bit more difficult than I thought it was going to be.
01:34Yep.
01:36Really there.
01:39There you go, son.
01:42There you go.
01:45Thanks, thanks.
01:46Don't mention it.
01:47Oh, sorry.
01:48I take you away from whatever plans you had.
01:50Oh, don't give it a second thought, mate.
01:52Always happy to help.
01:53Now, is there anything else you need?
01:54No, no, no.
01:54We're all good.
01:55Thanks, John.
01:55Yeah, don't worry.
01:56It's not the first time I've wiped myself out at a party.
01:58Yeah, those toddler shindigs can be pretty wild.
02:00Yep, that was Archie's first birthday.
02:02Can't wait to see what he's like when he's 18.
02:03Yeah, I guess we should have got the wheelchair out of the car, right?
02:05Oh, I didn't think I needed it.
02:07No, I know.
02:07Just clearly you did.
02:09You've got to learn to pace yourself, mate.
02:10Yeah, you think?
02:11Well, I don't want to tell you how to suck eggs, but obviously you pushed yourself too hard today.
02:15I mean, like, it's totally my fault.
02:17I should have just been bossy girlfriend and been like, I'm going to do everything.
02:19I'm going to buy it.
02:20No, no, baby, don't be doing that to yourself.
02:21Don't blame yourself.
02:22I'm not, I'm not.
02:22I'm just saying I should have stepped in a bit more.
02:24It's fine, okay?
02:25Look, I'm going to take a power nap and I'm going to bounce right back.
02:27It's all great.
02:34Just the coffee tonight?
02:35Thanks.
02:37Hey, um, I do have a question.
02:39Okay.
02:40Did you have to humiliate Alf so publicly?
02:43You heard about us bringing him in.
02:45Couldn't you just give him a call and get him to come down to the station?
02:48I can't be seen playing favourites.
02:50With Alf, you can.
02:51Yeah, I know you haven't been here very long.
02:53I feel like everyone's going to be saying that for the next 20 years.
02:56Alf Stewart is Summer Bay.
02:58He deserves better than that.
02:59Leah, I'm not the enemy here.
03:02I am on our side.
03:06Thanks for the coffee.
03:09Hey, Mr Stewart was clear.
03:11Do you have to be mean to David?
03:13Well, you've seen how this whole ordeal has affected him.
03:17You know, it's horrible.
03:18Well, he was in very good spirits.
03:20He's still not confident enough to drive.
03:22That says something.
03:23Ooh.
03:24I know you're talking about Dad.
03:26What's happened?
03:26Nothing's happened.
03:27Not since the keys.
03:29What do you mean?
03:30What about the keys?
03:31You haven't told her.
03:32No, I didn't want to make things worse.
03:35What's happened?
03:36Your dad has given Justin his car keys and says he doesn't want to drive.
03:46And that was a lot more difficult than I had anticipated, too.
03:50Sorry about that.
03:51Just leave the day.
03:52I'll do it.
03:52Okay.
03:53Oh, what have we got here?
03:54Party bags.
03:55Yeah.
03:56Would you like one or even two?
03:58Oh, I like party bags.
03:59What'd I tell you?
04:01You did tell me.
04:02Look, this might make you feel a bit better.
04:04Look at that.
04:05A bear.
04:06Oh, now I feel 200 years old.
04:07Oh, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, mate.
04:10You're only just getting your strength back.
04:11I mean, it was a kid's birthday.
04:13It wasn't like I ran a marathon, you know?
04:14No, but you're out on crutches for the first time, you know, all the sitting, standing,
04:18waiting.
04:18It's a lot if you haven't done it for a while.
04:20Yeah.
04:21I mean, kids' birthday bodies are a lot for anyone, right?
04:23So we'll probably just need a big rest.
04:27Oh, yes.
04:27Yes.
04:28Well, I should go then, yeah.
04:29Thank you again so much for coming.
04:32Don't forget your party back.
04:33Said two.
04:34Did say two.
04:38If you need anything at all, I'm on the phone.
04:49Well, that was just one little setback, right?
04:52But it's not, is it?
04:54You know, it's like I finally make a little bit of progress and then it's, as always, you
05:02know, one step forward, five steps back.
05:04But, as always, recovery from anything is never a straight line.
05:08Yeah.
05:10I just...
05:13I want things to go back to how they used to be.
05:22The guy broke my sister's heart.
05:24I'm not really keen to help him get his business back up and running.
05:27Yeah.
05:28I can understand that now.
05:29I'm surprised you didn't know.
05:31Didn't Garnay tell you?
05:32No.
05:33Wow.
05:34So he talks to my sister and just forgets about her entirely.
05:37Look, I get it's complicated.
05:38It's not.
05:39I'm Team Joe.
05:40I'm not choosing side.
05:42You don't have to.
05:43I'm not working at the gym.
05:44End of story.
05:46Okay.
05:47Fair enough.
05:51From now on, you'll work at the board shop only, not the gym.
05:55How will you manage it all?
05:56Me and JP have managed it fine so far.
05:59We'll be all right.
06:01Is there anything else you need from me today?
06:03All I need from you is to finish those invoices and then you should get out of here.
06:08Okay.
06:09Thanks, Marley.
06:10Best boss ever.
06:11Or a complete pushover.
06:12First option.
06:13Hundred percent.
06:15Nick.
06:16Hello.
06:19All sorted?
06:20Nope.
06:21Lacey doesn't want to work at the gym.
06:24The Joe thing?
06:25Yeah.
06:26And I haven't figured out how to clean myself yet either, so it's still just up to you and
06:30me.
06:31It looks that way.
06:32Oh.
06:44I just heard that you've decided to stop driving.
06:47Who told you?
06:48Marilyn or Leah?
06:49It doesn't matter.
06:50Did you think I wouldn't find out eventually?
06:52Rue, this is my decision.
06:54And I've already made it.
06:55Yeah, but if you didn't have anything to do with the accident, why would you hand over
06:58your car keys?
06:58Well, why are you making such a big deal of it?
07:02Did you remember something?
07:04What do you mean by that?
07:05Did you remember something about the accident?
07:07You know, something that you didn't tell the police?
07:09Oh, right.
07:10Now, as well as thinking I'm a silly old goat, you think I'm alive?
07:14Dad, I am just trying to understand, so can you please explain it to me?
07:17No.
07:18Mind your own business.
07:31Oh.
07:31If you're about to have a go at me, you can save your breath.
07:34No, no, I just wanted to know if anything else had come up about, you know, Abigail's
07:37hit and run.
07:38We haven't found the driver responsible, if that's what you're asking.
07:41No, no, I just wanted to know, you know, it's about my dad, I just wanted to know if
07:45any other forensic evidence had come up.
07:46You mean something that could implicate him?
07:48Yeah.
07:49No, nothing like that.
07:50Oh, okay.
07:52Why?
07:52Is there a problem?
07:54No, no, um, no, I just wanted to check, that's all, you know.
07:57Um, sorry, I'm sorry to hold you up.
08:03See you tomorrow.
08:06Hey, darling, you all done for the day?
08:07Yeah.
08:08What are you doing here?
08:09Oh, I thought I'd see if you want to grab some dinner.
08:11Yeah, sure.
08:12Sounds good.
08:13Yeah, I wouldn't mind showering first.
08:14Can you let your sister know, and I'll meet you both at the diner?
08:17Joe's picked up an extra shift tonight.
08:19You've been throwing yourself in the word of work at the moment.
08:22Yeah.
08:23You're really playing, Mom.
08:24No, I can't.
08:27You don't seem great yourself, you okay?
08:29Yeah, I just had a weird work meeting with Maui.
08:32Sounds like there's a story there.
08:34I'll tell you over dinner.
08:35Let's just say it's a problem with the small town.
08:38Hmm.
08:39Okay.
08:40It's weird having a boss who's also a friend.
08:43It gets complicated.
08:44Try being the one who dragged Alf Stewart in for questioning.
08:47Hey, you were just doing your job.
08:48No one can blame you for that.
08:51Um, Dad, do you want a cup of tea?
08:56Not if it comes with another dose of interrogation.
08:59I'm sorry about before.
09:01You know, but you suddenly stopped driving, you know.
09:03You can't blame me for being worried about why.
09:05So I was right.
09:07You still think that I hit Abigail.
09:08No, no, I'm trying to understand.
09:10Why would you turn over your keys if you did nothing wrong?
09:14You've just answered your own question.
09:16What do you mean?
09:17Well, you assume I'm guilty.
09:19Just because the coppers couldn't say beyond any shadow of doubt that I didn't do it,
09:23you and the rest of the bay all think that I did.
09:25Dad, that doesn't make any sense.
09:27And if I'm treated this way by my own family,
09:29why should I expect anything different from anyone else?
09:31Why would you care what anyone else thinks?
09:33Because it's the talk of the town.
09:35Did you see the old bloke getting hauled off by the coppers?
09:37Isn't that why you gave up driving?
09:39Because of gossip?
09:40I reckon that if I took myself out of the equation,
09:42nobody would have an opinion.
09:44But I notice that you've still got one.
09:47Where are you going?
09:48Anywhere but here.
09:53Oh, that just took so long.
09:56I've got the burgers.
09:58I'm so hungry.
09:59Let's eat.
10:01Actually, I've sort of lost my appetite a little bit,
10:05so I'm going to go to bed.
10:09Okay.
10:10Can I help you get to bed?
10:11Or may I escort you to the bedrooms?
10:15I'm all right.
10:16Or I could give you a massage to help with that pain.
10:19I don't know why I really hate this.
10:20Oh, said nobody ever to the offer of a massage.
10:23I don't massage.
10:24I'm just, I'm a burden on you.
10:26You're not a burden,
10:27but also I am a nurse,
10:29so taking care of people is kind of my thing.
10:31Yeah, when you're at work.
10:32No, always.
10:33And I like taking care of you.
10:35And I know that you would do the same for me.
10:38And that's kind of where you would say,
10:40like, a little joke that you wouldn't.
10:42But, okay, can I just, let me just...
10:44No, I'm good. Thank you.
10:45Well, I'm going to get this...
10:45I'm good. Dana!
10:47All right.
11:05You know, there is another option on the table.
11:09Either we can stay up all night
11:10trying to work out a roster that works
11:12to keep the gym open,
11:13or we can close the games.
11:15No.
11:17Tony wasn't that keen on having it open in the first place.
11:19Yeah, but he noticed we did open it,
11:21and he was very grateful
11:22when I told him that we had him covered.
11:24There's no way we are going back on our word now.
11:26Well, you're going to have to sweeten the deal with Lacey.
11:28Offer him more pay if she works at the gym.
11:30Right.
11:30And will that money be coming out of the surf club budget?
11:33Ha!
11:34No wriggle rooming out finances.
11:36So, in other words, it's coming out of my pocket.
11:38Or out of the gym accounts.
11:39I don't know.
11:39She's your employer.
11:40You work it out.
11:41Not a chance.
11:42She doesn't want to help support her sister's ex-partner.
11:45Do you know what actually went wrong with Joe and Tana?
11:48Well, I've no idea.
11:50I only found out that they'd split today.
11:53Seems strange, though.
11:54He broke up.
11:55You know, now he got out of jail.
11:57They're not here to gossip, JP.
11:59Hear something, say something, Marley.
12:01That's the golden rule.
12:02Tana!
12:03On your feet.
12:04This list of surf club jobs needs to be sorted out now.
12:07Well, I was just about to go home.
12:08Well, now you're not.
12:09Well, surely there's no surf club business so important
12:12that can't wait until tomorrow.
12:13This needs to be done tonight.
12:14I'll leave you to it.
12:15Come on.
12:16We've got work to do.
12:17We've got work to do.
12:57Tomorrow, I'm going to take the day off work
12:59and I'm going to take care of you, okay?
13:02You don't have to do that.
13:04I want to do that.
13:06Okay, but remember, I don't want you sacrificing your life for me.
13:10That's really not what this is.
13:11I have heaps of leaves saved up and I just...
13:14Yes, yes, that you should be using on holiday.
13:17You know, not looking after you...
13:18Me.
13:21I'm just trying to live in reality right now
13:23and you need someone taking care of you
13:25until your strength comes back.
13:27Okay, but who knows how long that's going to be.
13:31I'm really sorry, but you do need care.
13:34And there's just no other way around that.
13:39Okay.
13:52You haven't got enough water safety people
13:55rostered on for the nippers.
13:56Because we're down a few volunteers at the moment.
13:58We'll jump on the blower and find replacements.
14:01Now, why didn't I think of that?
14:02Good question.
14:03Look, can we get on to this tomorrow
14:05at a more reasonable hour?
14:06Because none of this needs to be sorted now.
14:08Well, you're going to be busy tomorrow.
14:10Am I?
14:11You've got a hardware order to pick up at Yabby Creek
14:13and then you've got a meeting
14:14with a whole lot of our sponsors.
14:15No, no, no.
14:16There's no way I can squeeze that in.
14:18I'll be flat out keeping the gym open.
14:20Well, if you can't manage your own time properly,
14:22it's not my problem.
14:22But why?
14:23You always pick up the orders from Yabby Creek
14:26and schmooze the sponsors.
14:27There's no way I'm driving over there
14:29just to make your life easier.
14:30But the hardware store's on the way
14:31to your favourite fishing hole.
14:33Oh, for God's sake, Palmer.
14:34Show a bit of leadership, eh?
14:35And just get it done.
14:36All right?
14:37All right.
14:38Now, seeing as I'm going to be up
14:40at the crack of dawn tomorrow
14:40getting everything done,
14:43I'd like to call it a night.
14:45Well, that suits me.
14:56Sounded full on.
14:57No, he's just cranky
14:58because of his run-in with the police.
14:59I heard that.
15:02Good.
15:03Good.
15:07It's been a long time
15:09since you've wanted to fight
15:10Joe's battles for her.
15:11Yeah, but come on.
15:12As if I want to work in the gym
15:13after how Tani treated her.
15:15You get no arguments from me.
15:17I'm just glad Marley was okay
15:19with your decision.
15:20Yeah, but I do feel like
15:21I put him under a lot of pressure.
15:23Well, he chose to take on that pressure.
15:25That's not your responsibility.
15:26Yeah, but I still can't help
15:27feel like I should be helping.
15:29You know that much of a softie?
15:31No.
15:33Sorry.
15:34It's just what we do here
15:35in Summer Bay.
15:36When things are tough,
15:37we just help each other out.
15:40Look, I'm sorry about
15:41what happened with Alf.
15:43You were right.
15:45I could have handled things differently.
15:47Thank you for saying that.
15:49And I know that you're angry with Tani,
15:51but can't you just put it
15:51to one side and pitch in?
15:53He treated my sister like dirt,
15:55so no.
15:56What happens if Joe and Tani
15:58get back together down the track?
15:59You might have wished
16:00you saved his business then.
16:01I don't see that happening
16:02any time soon.
16:03And can I please just eat my meal
16:04without a side of guilt?
16:05Uh, all right.
16:07Um, let me just put it another way.
16:09If the gym closes,
16:11then it won't just be Tani
16:12who's affected.
16:14Do you want to say
16:14I should pitch in for the gym bros?
16:16The gym members bring in revenue
16:18for the club,
16:19for tenants like John and Marley.
16:22Okay.
16:23And they run really important programs
16:25that help troubled teens.
16:26That's a good point.
16:28Community spirit.
16:29That's what we're about.
16:30And I'll leave you to your food.
17:13Picked me up, I was on the floor.
17:16First one in, last out the door.
17:19Oh, shine a light on all but yourself.
17:23You give your all so much more.
17:26Things in life you're looking for.
17:30And leave your heart upon the shelf.
17:44He says he feels like everyone in town
17:47watching you put me.
17:48Which is crazy, right?
17:50Well, I mean, they probably are.
17:52You can't blame him for feeling that way
17:53after everything that's happened.
17:55Yeah, but he's been cleared by the police.
17:56If he had nothing to do with the accident,
17:58why does he care what everyone thinks?
18:00Are you saying you don't believe him?
18:02What?
18:03No, I don't know.
18:03I mean,
18:04he's so angry and defensive
18:06in the way he's acting like he's responsible.
18:08Well, Dad,
18:09you know what?
18:09It might be a good idea
18:10that he's taken himself off the road.
18:12You know,
18:13maybe it's time that Dad realises
18:14even he has limitations.
18:24Does that mean you've worked things out with Marley?
18:26Okay, so Tana,
18:27he doesn't get a pass on dumping my sister,
18:29but this is community spirit.
18:32Look on, you're lacy.
18:33That's what I like to hear.
18:34Yeah, because it also means you're off the hook.
18:36I won't lie to you.
18:37That makes me very happy too.
18:39But hooray for being civic-minded.
18:40Yeah, okay, whatever.
18:49You took your time getting here.
18:52I didn't realise I needed to be early.
18:55Is there a problem?
18:56Everyone's still looking at me
18:57as though I'm the one who'd have a go.
18:59Alf, you've been cleared.
19:01By a mission only,
19:02and that's not good enough.
19:04I'm sorry,
19:05but I'm not entirely sure
19:07what you're expecting me to do at this point.
19:09You threw my name in the mud,
19:10and it's going to stay there
19:12until you find whoever was driving the car
19:14that actually did it.
19:15We're working on that.
19:15You're not listening, mate.
19:17You either find the grub who did this,
19:18or you might as well arrest me now.
19:27Hey, you've been on that thing for a while now.
19:29So?
19:31So, maybe you want to take a break?
19:33Then maybe you should keep your advice to yourself.
19:34That's why you need to give your body a rest
19:36or you're going to hurt yourself.
19:36Will you just shut up and get off my case?
19:39Just stop.
19:40Just back off!
19:41You really worried about him?
19:42Yeah, I am.
19:44Stop!
19:44That's enough.
19:45Okay?
19:46You've got to go.
19:47You can't just kick me out.
19:48I can, actually.
19:49Now get out of here.
19:50Okay?
19:50You're done.
