00:00Hold me in your arms, don't let me go, I want to stay forever, nicer each day, coming your way.
00:18Joey Collins.
00:19Yeah, and I'm withdrawing the complaint.
00:21I don't want to give evidence against this vote or anyone involved.
00:24But I know something's wrong.
00:26I mean, what's going on? If you talk to me, maybe I can help you.
00:28No, you can't.
00:29So, are we officially off the record?
00:31Sure.
00:31Yeah, we can really relax.
00:34You interested?
00:35Help us out.
00:42Annie, are you okay?
00:43Hi, I'm cool.
00:45It's brain, I need to take her home and put some ice on it.
00:46Can't you just stay here with me and Annie in diapers though?
00:48I'm on his way. What are you going to do?
00:50I'm staying. This girl is a friend.
01:02Hey, Belle, if you get this, can you give me a call back to Buck?
01:05If not, just I'll see you tonight, alright?
01:07Okay.
01:08Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you doing, hey?
01:10Hey, settle down.
01:12Oh, chill out, mate.
01:13You're going to get us kicked out, alright?
01:15Dude, you're such a big girl.
01:17Maybe that's why you're getting on so well with Joe, yeah?
01:19Ah, good joke.
01:20Oh, hello, Jiggy.
01:21Oh, I've got a seat for you right here.
01:23Right are you.
01:24Pull your head in or get out.
01:26Well, I'm just being friendly.
01:27Yeah, well, you can be friendly somewhere else.
01:28Come on, on your bike.
01:30Let's go, come on.
01:31Alright.
01:33Your number's still triple O, yeah?
01:35Oh, yeah.
01:37See ya, mate.
01:38Yeah, see ya.
01:56Do you have any idea what time it is?
01:58Hey, baby.
02:00It's 5am.
02:01Where have you been?
02:03Oh, the band.
02:05As in Liam Murphy's band?
02:06Yeah, we did the interview and it went really, really well, so, um, so we decided to have
02:09a few drinks.
02:10And you didn't think to call, Belle?
02:13I've been worried.
02:14I've left messages on your phone.
02:15I'm sorry, I must have turned my phone off for the concert.
02:18No one forgot to turn it back on.
02:20Well, let's talk about in the morning.
02:21I've crashed.
02:22Mm.
02:28Anne, I keep telling you, you should let me strip that ankle.
02:30I already told you, it doesn't even hurt anymore.
02:33Right, so the whole limp you got going on is just for show, is it?
02:36Have you heard from Nicole?
02:38No, not yet.
02:39Which probably just means that she feels bad about staying last night, but she's too stubborn
02:43to admit it.
02:44Oh, that she had a really good time last night and just doesn't want to argue with you
02:47anymore.
02:48Not that you would have had a good time.
02:50I mean.
02:50Uh-huh.
02:50Uh-huh.
02:52Belle, what happened to you last night?
02:54Too many drinks.
02:56Where's Aiden?
02:57Oh, he already left.
03:00So, did you meet the band?
03:01How was it?
03:01Um, it was nice, besides that, it was grungy.
03:06Did he say if he was going straight to work?
03:08No, he said something about going and getting a coffee first.
03:10I've got a pocket full of dust beneath my imagination.
03:17I'm sorry, I lost track of time last night.
03:21But, come on Aiden, it's not like you've never had a big night before.
03:25I mean, you were out last night.
03:26Belle, I'm not angry that you went out.
03:28I wish you just could have given me a call, you know?
03:30Then I could have gone home and had a decent night's sleep.
03:33Look, how about I buy you a coffee?
03:36I've got at least 15 minutes of groveling in me before I spew.
03:40I'm already running late, ma'am.
03:42I'll take you up on the groveling later, though.
03:53I think you're in j-
03:55Oh, can I get a glass of water?
03:57Yeah, sure.
04:08Did you have a huge bono or what?
04:11Uh, just too many tequila shots with the boys.
04:14Also, you actually hung up with the band.
04:18Um, yeah, I guess. Kind of.
04:21I always knew you were a closet groupie.
04:23So what was it like?
04:26Uh, pretty tame, actually.
04:28So tame that you ended up with one hell of a hangover?
04:31Yeah.
04:32I should, uh, probably get going.
04:34It's article done before my deadline.
04:41Well, Granlid, you didn't have to rush over,
04:43especially when you're understaffed and so busy at work.
04:46Ah.
04:47Ah, it's all right, love.
04:48You know what they say.
04:49If you want something done, give it to your granddad.
04:51Hmm.
04:52Well, I appreciate it. Thank you.
04:54Jack was always my handyman.
04:57Not that he was any better at it than me.
04:59Ah, well, neither was his cousin.
05:02Next time Hugo asks to give you some help,
05:04just tell him you're okay, all right?
05:05He's cross-threaded just about all of this.
05:08Hmm.
05:09That seems to be Hugo's specialty,
05:10making a mess of things.
05:12Oh, hell no.
05:13Sorry the door was open.
05:14No, it's okay. Just in time for a pot of tea.
05:16Oh, I can't stay. I'm on the way to the gym.
05:18But I've got the day off.
05:19Do you want to have lunch?
05:21Oh, drinks last night. Lunch today.
05:23Surprise visits from Mr. Handyman over here.
05:26Why do I get the feeling you two are in cahoots?
05:28I've got no idea what she's talking about, have you?
05:29No.
05:30Come on, guys. I'm not a charity case.
05:32Perfect.
05:33Then you won't mind picking up the bill.
05:35I'll swing by at 12.
05:37Bye.
05:37Bye.
05:44Hey.
05:45I was wondering if you were okay.
05:47How's the ankle?
05:48Ah, it's okay.
05:49I won't be doing any pee today, but that's for sure.
05:52Look, I'm sorry.
05:53I had no idea it was that bad.
05:54It's fine.
05:54Really?
05:56Can we not do this?
05:58Admit, it wasn't the best way to end the night.
06:00No, it wasn't.
06:02And I'm sorry.
06:03I probably should have called you.
06:05It was just like, that's all.
06:08Yeah, I should have called you, too.
06:10And look, I'm sorry you had such a miserable night.
06:12I know how much you're looking forward to it.
06:14Miserable?
06:15Who said anything about miserable?
06:17I had an awesome night.
06:18The band totally went off.
06:19You know, my ankle's actually kind of feeling better.
06:21Maybe we could have...
06:22So, while Annie's at home in pain,
06:24all you care about is having a good time.
06:25That doesn't strike you as selfish.
06:27Oh, don't pretend this is about Annie.
06:28This is about you being annoyed
06:30because I decided to stay without you.
06:32So tell me who's selfish.
06:33The only reason I went to that gig was for you.
06:36No, you mean to keep an eye on me.
06:37You're unbelievable, Nicole.
06:38Yeah, and you're a control freak.
06:39Hope the ankle feels better.
06:49Mate, where'd you pull this from?
06:51I got it from a hundred bucks from Tomo.
06:53I think he brought it from some wreck.
06:55What are you gonna do with it?
06:58I don't know.
07:03Oi.
07:04Hey, Joey.
07:05How's life on Easy Street treating you?
07:08My breasts.
07:09Oh, come on.
07:11Let me know if you want me to come round and cheer up.
07:16Joey, wait.
07:21Hey.
07:22What do you want?
07:24I just wanted to see how you're doing.
07:26You got a job yet?
07:28Nope.
07:29I guess the right one just hasn't come along yet.
07:32Fair enough.
07:34So listen, I'm just gonna go on lunch break.
07:37I just wanted to know if you want to get a sandwich together.
07:39Mush out.
07:40Thanks, but I don't need handouts.
07:55Hang on.
07:55You got a minute?
07:56Well, I look like I've got a fly one minute.
07:59Here, here.
07:59Wipe that down, will you?
08:01So I take it you haven't found anyone to work for you yet?
08:03No, not yet.
08:04Right, well, I've got a friend of mine who used to work on the boat with me
08:07and she's looking for a job.
08:08Do you have any bar experience?
08:10Uh, no.
08:11I don't think so, but she's a hard worker.
08:13Fair enough.
08:14Get her in here as quick as you can.
08:16Oh, really?
08:16Yeah.
08:17Awesome.
08:17Oi, oi, oi.
08:18If you're not gonna use that, leave it here, huh?
08:20She's good on you.
08:22Right, over where?
08:23Who's next?
08:32She's not in.
08:33I'm gonna go to the library instead.
08:42Hey.
08:44Look, I know it's none of my business, but just because Geoff isn't into the same bands as
08:48you doesn't mean you have to give him a hard time.
08:51Excuse me?
08:52And him being worried about you does not make him a control freak.
08:56Annie, this is not about whether Geoff is a good person or not.
08:58It's about the fact that I asked him to make an effort and he couldn't do it.
09:02He went to the concert, didn't he?
09:04Yeah, for like two seconds and then he bowed the first chance that he got.
09:07Look, I get that it's not his thing, but would it kill him to let himself go for once?
09:11Well, maybe if he tried to see where he's coming from.
09:14Wait a second.
09:14Did he send you over here to talk to me?
09:16No.
09:17Well, see, this is exactly what I'm talking about.
09:19Well, you know what?
09:20You can tell him from me that if he's got something to say, he doesn't need to send his little
09:24sister.
09:26Actually, you know what?
09:27I'm gonna go tell him myself.
09:40Hey, have you seen Geoff?
09:42Not since this morning.
09:44I bet he's avoiding me on purpose just to leave me hanging.
09:48Are you right there?
09:49Any faster than that keyboard's gonna explode?
09:52I'm just really into this article I'm writing on Liam.
09:54I think it's gonna be the best one I've ever written yet.
09:55You know, he's such an interesting guy who wants to get past the whole supermodel thing
09:58and then the whole grungy band thing.
10:00I mean, he's telling me about how he writes poetry
10:01and he wrote all this amazing stuff while he was in Arizona too.
10:05Still, I mean, one minute you're popping paracetamol
10:09and the next you're writing your best piece yet.
10:10It's pretty amazing.
10:12Yeah, I told you, it's just a headache.
10:15Right, so it's okay if I just help myself to one of these then.
10:18I got a pretty bad headache myself.
10:21Give me that.
10:23What's wrong? It's just paracetamol, right?
10:25Yeah, of course, what else would it be?
10:28I don't know, uppers maybe?
10:32I know the signs, Belle.
10:35My best friend's mum was addicted to uppers and downers for years.
10:40How long's it been going on for?
10:44Poor Grandad, I wish he'd let me give him a hand.
10:46Well, he said he was going to get someone in to help.
10:49And besides, I've already been stood up once this week.
10:52I'm not about to let it happen again.
10:53I can't believe Hugo stood you up.
10:55He's such a nice guy, there's got to be a good reason.
10:57Anyway, I'm not interested in Hugo at all.
11:00In fact, he did me a favour by not turning up.
11:03It just made me realise I'm not ready to start anything new with anyone.
11:07So, um, have you done any bar work before?
11:10Once, for about three weeks.
11:11But working on boats with all male crews has taught me how to deal with them.
11:15Difficult people.
11:16Well, that'll do me.
11:17I don't suppose you can start straight away?
11:19Yeah, just point me in the right direction.
11:22Step right in.
11:24Okay, look, for a while there I was on a lot of medication with my back pain after the accident
11:28and my anxiety.
11:29But it's completely under control now, I'm fine.
11:34Well, sorry, Belle, but it doesn't really look like it's under control.
11:37And I'm guessing your little virus wasn't a virus either.
11:39Yeah, it was.
11:40This has nothing to do with that.
11:41Yeah, and Rachel wouldn't be prescribing up as for anxiety.
11:47Okay, look, last night I had a blowout, but it was a once-off,
11:50so when Liam offered me the uppers, I just...
11:53Liam Murphy gave them to you?
11:56Yeah.
11:57I can't believe you were doing drugs with the band.
11:59I wasn't doing drugs with...
12:00Does Aidan know that you've been popping pills?
12:02No.
12:03Well, you know that he'd totally flip if he did,
12:05after what he went through with his dad.
12:09Look, last night was...
12:11it was just a dumb mistake.
12:12It's not gonna happen again.
12:15And also, why are you still taking them?
12:19I told you, I just...
12:20I needed something to get me through today.
12:24But that is it, I swear.
12:28You have to promise me, Nicole,
12:30that you're not gonna tell Aidan about this.
12:33It's just gonna upset him for nothing, okay?
12:35Please, promise me.
12:44There you go, enjoy.
12:46Very good.
12:47You'll be running the joint soon.
12:48Like I said, compared to working on a boat full of poof heads,
12:51this is easy.
12:52I think you might be right.
12:54Listen, um, how do you feel about holding the fort
12:56for half an hour or so?
12:57I just need to slip over to the bait shop for a while.
13:01Only if you feel comfortable.
13:03Yeah, no, of course, no worries.
13:05If you get into any strife, just ask Martha.
13:07Don't let her help you, but ask her.
13:09She knows the raps.
13:11I'll see you later.
13:22Hey.
13:24Aidan told me he'd hooked you up with a job, have you?
13:28What do you want?
13:30He's not very friendly.
13:33Especially seeing as I'm considering making this more regular water and all.
13:37Yeah, Hugo's definitely determined, I'll give him that.
13:40Well, he's more than determined, and he's got business sense as well.
13:43You know, I think this diving venture might take off.
13:47So keep your mouth shut.
13:49Or else.
13:51You know what I'm saying?
13:55And, um, we can probably get mates rates on diving courses as well.
14:01Can you hang on a tick?
14:02I'll be back in a moment.
14:13Hey.
14:15Sorry.
14:18You okay?
14:20No.
14:22I'm really sorry, but I can't go back out there.
14:24Yeah, that's fine, that's fine.
14:27I'll go and get Alf, and then Martha and I can give you a lift home.
14:32What?
14:34Sure.
14:36Okay, you just stay here, and I'll come back.
14:50Hey, guys.
14:52Hey.
14:53I didn't see you at school this afternoon.
14:55Oh, yeah, Geoff took me to sickbay to get the nurse to look at my ankle.
14:58Should be fine in a few days.
15:00Not that you'd really care.
15:03Hey, can we talk for a minute?
15:11What?
15:20I wanted to say sorry about before.
15:23You were right.
15:24I should have come home with you last night.
15:28And the bottom line is, is that I hate fighting with you.
15:32And I hate that everything's been so weird between us lately,
15:35like we haven't been able to connect I'm sorry too look just so you know there's
15:44no way I put Annie up to talking to you I am quite capable of stuffing things up

15:59didn't think that I was trying last time I know you were I just didn't want to
16:02sing it and for the record maybe some people there last night were a little bit off their heads but
16:10it
16:10doesn't mean that we can't go to another concert again does it of course not I just think that I
16:19should choose the band next time okay obviously something's wrong you don't just hide out in a
16:30storeroom crying your eyes out for no reason yeah and she couldn't get out of there fast enough
16:36hopefully she's okay yeah I hope Grandad's okay as well I don't know how much longer he can manage on
