00:03I understand a young boy's involved.
00:06Yes, he followed Kim.
00:09Perhaps they planned it together, I don't know,
00:11but what I do know is that they have no money and nowhere to go.
00:16They probably think it's romantic,
00:18but so did those other 25,000 children once.
00:28What the hell do you think the matter?
00:29Your mother sent you to school.
00:31I didn't go, did I?
00:33Now, you listen to me, birdbrain.
00:34How the hell am I supposed to run a business with cops turning up
00:36every two minutes asking questions about them damn runaway kids, eh?
00:39I don't know what you're talking about, Dad.
00:42And what's it got to do with us?
00:43That crazy teacher of yours has gone screaming to the press and television.
00:47Kim?
00:56Dad, she's gone.
00:58Kim!
01:05Grandma?
01:07What on earth are you doing home?
01:09Hi.
01:10Well, you can hardly expect me to stay away,
01:12but my little brother's in trouble.
01:14But we told you on the phone there was nothing you could do.
01:17Your father and I wanted you to enjoy your holiday.
01:19Oh, yes, and I did. I did enjoy it.
01:21But, you know, I think I belong here with a family.
01:24Oh, you and your family.
01:26I bet you'd give that job up at the bank like a shot
01:28if you could stay home and look after this lot.
01:30Actually, I wouldn't mind. You're right.
01:32When you get too old, that's exactly what I'll do.
01:35Ah, but I'm not going to get too old.
01:37So you'd better stay in the bank and marry one of your wealthy customers.
01:40So, listen, tell us, what happened with Scott and that girl?
01:43Have you had any breakfast?
01:44No, actually, I haven't. I left about six.
01:46Well, come on, I'll get you some and we'll talk.
01:51Oh, Scott!
01:53Oh, hello. Give us a snuggle.
01:55I thought you were on holidays.
01:56Well, I was, but I was worried about you.
01:59Oh, hey, isn't this great?
02:00Hello, Grandma.
02:02Hello, love.
02:03Oh, he needs a bath. Scott, you need a bath.
02:05I'll figure it out, mate.
02:06Yeah, thanks.
02:07Hi, darling.
02:08Hi.
02:09How did you find them?
02:11I didn't find them. I only found him.
02:13I'll have to go over and see the Taylors.
02:16See you later.
02:17See you.
02:20Remember, the tighter you tuck, the faster you'll spin.
02:24Right.
02:48Hey, that's not too bad.
02:50Honest?
02:51Get up and try a pipe.
02:54Okay. What's going on?
02:56Oh, hi, Dad.
02:57Where did you get a load of young Danny?
02:59He's improved out of sight.
03:01You don't mean to tell me you've been standing here watching the kid muck round.
03:04You're supposed to be training.
03:05I've been waiting for you. You're the one who's late.
03:08Yeah, well, you could have started without me.
03:13You ready?
03:15Yeah, give it a go.
03:16Oh, come on. Get on with it if you're going to do it.
03:33Get on with it.
03:33I wanted to impress you, Dad.
03:34Now, the least you can do is encourage you.
03:36Encouraged him a couple of years ago, remember?
03:38Soon gave up when he found out how tough it was.
03:40Get up.
03:42Go on.
04:11Hello, man.
04:13Mr. Robinson.
04:13Hello.
04:14Come in.
04:20Mrs. Taylor, I wanted to tell you personally that Scott's now back at home.
04:23Yes, I know.
04:25But Kim just phoned.
04:26Oh, did she?
04:27I'm glad.
04:29She isn't coming back.
04:31I begged her to tell me where she was going, but she wouldn't.
04:34She just asked me to let her go.
04:37How can I let her go, Mr. Robinson?
04:43I'm sorry about all this.
04:45Is your husband home?
04:47No, he's down at the police station again.
04:52I should ring and tell her...
04:53Mrs. Taylor,
04:54I thought you should know that the only reason that Scott went after Kim was to try to talk her
04:58to coming back home.
04:59Did you see her?
05:02No, no, I'm afraid I didn't.
05:04Well, she ran off, you see, when I was talking to Scott.
05:06We searched for her for some time, but couldn't find her.
05:10Look, look, if there's anything at all that I can do, please just say the word.
05:16You could tell me why the child I love hates me so much.
05:23I'm sorry.
05:25I'm sorry.
05:52The Sunday paper's still there if you want to read it.
05:55Nah.
05:56I'm always filled with the same thing.
05:59Murder, rape, broken marriages.
06:03Okay, what's wrong?
06:05Why should anything be wrong?
06:06Well, you've been prowling around the house like a caged lion all day.
06:10Is it something I've done?
06:11No, no, it's nothing to do with you at all.
06:14Well, that's all that matters then.
06:17What's the book?
06:19Well, Pilgrim's Pro...
06:21You're reading Pilgrim's Progress?
06:22Well, why not?
06:24Oh, well, I don't know.
06:26It's just you read a lot.
06:27Yeah, I enjoy it.
06:31I've got a problem, Daphne.
06:32I wouldn't have guessed.
06:34It's Lorraine.
06:35Oh, Lorraine, has she been around here again?
06:37No, a guy at work phoned.
06:39She's leaving the bank.
06:40So?
06:42Well, I feel pretty rotten about it.
06:45Obviously, she's leaving because I'm going back to work
06:48and the whole thing about the marriage break-up.
06:50But, look, I could have hacked it.
06:52We could have been friends.
06:54Friends?
06:54You thought that was possible?
06:56Yeah, sure.
06:56Why not?
06:58I mean, she really liked it there.
07:01She was going to keep on working after we got married.
07:04But do you think I should call her and talk to her about it?
07:09What do you think you should do?
07:12I don't know.
07:14Do you want her back?
07:15Oh, no, no, no.
07:17I don't want her back.
07:18Because if you do, I think you could get her.
07:21You reckon?
07:21Of course.
07:23Oh, well, that makes me feel better.
07:26It's a bit of a blow to the old pride.
07:28I was beginning to feel I was a dead loss with women.
07:30You?
07:31A dead loss?
07:32Oh, come on.
07:35You're, um...
07:37Um...
07:38Yeah?
07:40Sexy.
07:41Yeah?
07:41Yeah, pretty sexy.
07:44Oh.
07:45Well, there's plenty more Lorraine's in the sea.
07:47Believe me, there are plenty.
07:53Grandma, put a load of butter for the cake.
07:55Here's Marge.
07:56Oh, no.
07:58Lorraine called.
07:59You didn't mention she'd applied for a transfer from the bank.
08:02Oh, didn't I?
08:03No, you didn't.
08:05Well, Des does start back at the bank next week.
08:08It would have been very embarrassing.
08:10For everyone.
08:11Well, I hope her replacement is blonde, beautiful and available.
08:15Honestly, Grandma, you talk nonsense at times.
08:21Have you thought any more about taking on some students?
08:24Oh, I don't know.
08:25If I thought I could help some aspiring young artist, I'd probably do it.
08:28Oh, go on.
08:29You know you could.
08:30Look what happened to Paul Poole here.
08:33G'day.
08:34How'd you go?
08:35Oh, no luck.
08:37What do you think if she's moved into one of those squats that someone must have seen her?
08:40Is it?
08:42Oh, no luck.
08:43Now, look, the absolute least you two could have done was to phone to say you wouldn't be back for
08:47lunch.
08:47I'm sorry.
08:48I forgot it was your day in the kitchen.
08:50Forgot.
08:51All that cooking and you two didn't have the manners to turn up.
08:54I cooked potatoes.
08:56I'm so annoyed.
08:58I said I was sorry.
08:59What else do you want?
09:00Oh.
09:02Look.
09:04Honestly, how long is that sort of behaviour going to go on?
09:07Oh, belt up, Julie.
09:08Come on.
09:09I suppose you two have both eaten?
09:11Yeah, we had a couple of hamburgers each.
09:13Fantastic.
09:18I'm glad I didn't run away.
09:19You can see those squats through the pits.
09:22Well, you two spent enough time trying to find her.
09:24For all we know, she could be interstate.
09:26Yeah, it could be.
09:28It'd be pretty easy to disappear if you wanted to, though.
09:31Those kids start getting really hostile when you start asking questions.
09:45I've been watching you.
09:47Why?
09:48You know why.
09:49If you don't get your butt off this street, somebody might come and cut you up.
09:52I don't know what you're talking about.
09:54Okay, I'll spell it out.
09:56This is my area.
09:58If you want to make some fast money, go and find yourself another neighbourhood.
10:02I only ever warn you kids once.
10:17Hi, there.
10:19Where have you been?
10:21Why?
10:22The old man says you went around to the squats looking for Kim Taylor.
10:25If you knew, why'd you ask?
10:27Did you find her?
10:28Look, just rack off, would you?
10:30Okay, be like that.
10:31You know something?
10:32You've become a real nerd since you got stuck on that chick.
10:35What a whiny.
10:36Mooning around the squats trying to find her.
10:38Better than being a sicko.
10:39Who's a sicko?
10:40You are, taping people like that.
10:42Sicko pervert.
10:43Shut up, you!
10:44Take more than you to shut me up.
10:46Dad!
10:48Scott's having a fight.
10:49What?
10:50We're dead in the back garden.
10:53Hey!
10:55What do you flaming idiots think you're doing?
10:58Cut it out!
10:59Cut it out!
11:00Scott!
11:01Come here!
11:02Come here, you!
11:03He started it!
11:04I don't care!
11:06What is the matter with you, Scott?
11:08There's nothing the matter with me, Dad.
11:09He's the loony.
11:10He started it.
11:11Look, you'll block off this.
11:13I'm just a bit out of a cup full of you.
11:14That's right.
11:14Blame me.
11:15He started it.
11:16You're a wimp.
11:16I don't care.
11:17Make him stay in his own backyard, Dad.
11:19He's a sicko.
11:20He won't punch it to be done around here.
11:21I'll do it.
11:22Understand?
11:23Understand?
11:23I heard you.
11:24Good.
11:25Get out of here.
11:26Go inside.
11:31Look, I'm sorry, Jim.
11:33It's not your fault, Max.
11:34No.
11:35Flaming kids.
11:35I mean, what do you do with them?
11:36Come on.
11:36You know what those two are like.
11:37It's not the first time I've had to separate them.
11:39Yeah, yeah.
11:39This is different, bud.
11:40I mean, he's already given your family a hard enough time without taking on young Scott like
11:44that.
11:45I mean, he's a moron.
11:46You know, he's a flaming moron.
11:47He's a moron.
12:06You want to come with us?
12:08Are you kidding?
12:09I thought you wanted to start diving again.
12:11That was yesterday.
12:13Oh, well, suit yourself.
12:16Hey, look, it'll be me the old man's yelling at this time, not you.
12:19Oh, that'll be the day when he yells at his little champion.
12:22You're the boy wonder, I'm the family idiot.
12:25Now, be fair.
12:27He wanted to teach you, but you got bored with diving.
12:30Now, you won't admit it, but you missed out on a fantastic coach.
12:32And if I get to the Olympics, it'll be because he helped me so much.
12:36Yeah.
12:37He's a real saint.
12:39Well, if you change your mind, we'll be at the pool.
12:44Now, remember what I told you?
12:51You little beauty!
12:53Burn it!
12:56How was it?
12:57Not bad.
12:58Improving, bud.
13:06How does it look?
13:08Good.
13:09I'm glad the ceiling's finished.
13:11It's like a new house.
13:13I like going to town for a while.
13:15To a movie?
13:16Maybe.
13:18And what about Scott?
13:20What about him?
13:22He's your best friend, Danny.
13:24Not anymore, he's not.
13:26Look, if you two fight, and it's his fault, what's the first thing he does?
13:30He comes over and apologises.
13:32So all you have to do is go there and say, I'm sorry.
13:36Why does everyone always say that it's my fault?
13:38That wimp started it, whinging nerd.
13:41Perhaps you should leave it till tomorrow.
13:43The old man didn't help.
13:45Barging in like a wild bull.
13:47He's always putting me down in front of people.
13:49Of course it's everyone's fault but Danny Ramsey's.
13:53Please, Danny.
13:54Look, if just once, just once, you try to be respectful to your father,
13:58if he yells at you, you don't need to get the last word in.
14:02What does it matter who wins?
14:04Let him win once and see what happens.
14:06And why should he win?
14:08And there you go again, of course.
14:11Okay.
14:12I'll play dumb.
14:13Just to prove to you that it won't work.
14:15From now on, I won't say one word to me.
14:18You don't need to overdo it.
14:19Just be polite.
14:21Polite.
14:22And respectful.
14:24Or maybe I should try apologising to him.
14:26Okay, try it.
14:27Apologise to him and see what happens.
14:30And there is no time like a present.
14:33You should have seen his face.
14:35It was beauty with a picture.
14:36Hey, that looks great, Mum.
14:37Yeah, and save a big spot right in the middle
14:39because that's where his Olympic medal's going.
14:41You had a good day.
14:42Oh, great day, Mum.
14:43If them judges had been there, he'd got ten all around.
14:46That's fantastic, Shane.
14:47Yeah, pity you couldn't pull your finger out
14:49and do something useful for a change.
14:51What's in the fridge, Mum?
14:54Leave a chicken.
14:55It's for dinner.
14:56What's the diet, son?
14:59Guess who turned up today?
15:00Bert Murphy.
15:01Should have seen his face
15:03when young Shane done them reverse dives.
15:04He kept saying,
15:05that kid's worth his weight in gold.
15:07That's what you're boss working for.
15:09Yeah, and he'll do it, love.
15:09Just you wait.
15:11Dad.
15:12What?
15:14About this afternoon.
15:15I'm sorry.
15:17Sorry?
15:18Yeah.
15:19I'd like to apologise.
15:20You been next door to the Robinsons to apologise?
15:22No.
15:24Well, what the hell's the point of apologising to me, then?
15:26I mean, you climb their fence uninvited,
15:29start beating up one of their family
15:30and you come snivelling to me to apologise?
15:32That's not fair, Max.
15:33Not fair?
15:34Any other father would have kicked his backside out of here.
15:40Any other broad ideas, Mum?
15:49Come on, let's see how good you are.
15:51Nah, I've had enough.
15:52Oh, come on, mate.
15:53Getting all depressed ain't gonna make any difference.
15:56Well, if it wasn't for me, she wouldn't have run away.
15:58Well, you don't know that.
15:59What happened at school
16:00might have been the last straw for Kim.
16:02What are you talking about?
16:03Well, why didn't you run away as well?
16:04Well, cos Dad stood by you.
16:08Look, I don't know Kim's parents,
16:10but from the sound of it,
16:10there's a lot more to it
16:11than just the tape some kids played in a classroom.
16:14She didn't get on with her mother.
16:17Anyway, it's all Denny Ramsey's fault.
16:19Oh, I see.
16:20A moment ago, it was all your fault.
16:22Listen, just leave me to sort this out in my own way, OK?
16:26OK.
16:27Listen, I'm going to Des and Daphne's.
16:28Do you want to come?
16:29No, thanks.
16:31Thanks.
16:36You remember that recipe for chicken and beer I told you about?
16:39Well, I managed to get it.
16:40Oh, good.
16:41Chicken and beer, I hear you cry.
16:43We'll wait till it hits those taste buds of yours.
16:45I thought we could try it tomorrow night.
16:47Are you staying in tomorrow night?
16:49No, I've got a late booking,
16:51but we could eat before I go out.
16:53Oh, OK.
16:55Something wrong with the cake?
16:58Oh, no, no, no.
17:02Listen, Daphne, I know it's none of my business,
17:06but couldn't you find another job?
17:09Why?
17:10You're too nice a person to do what you do.
17:12Des, look...
17:12No, no, let me finish.
17:14I've got to know you since you've moved in here,
17:16and you'd make a fantastic wife for somebody.
17:20You're sensible, and you're a good cook.
17:22Look, and what guy wants to marry a stripper?
17:27It pays the rent, Des.
17:29And besides, I don't strip, you know that.
17:32They only think I do.
17:33Well, I don't like it.
17:34Tough.
17:35And you were right.
17:36It is none of your business.
17:38And the guy who marries me can tag me as I am,
17:40or he can forget it.
17:42Knock, knock.
17:44Hi.
17:44Hi, stranger.
17:45G'day.
17:46Hey, that cake looks pretty good.
17:47Would you like a bit?
17:48Oh, yeah.
17:50It's easy to see you two making out.
17:51What do you mean making out?
17:53There's no one making out in this house, mate.
17:56What's up with you?
17:59There you are.
18:00How's young Scott?
18:01Oh, shattered.
18:02No, I'm looking for her with him, but no luck yet.
18:05Some of those squats are pretty ugly.
18:07You know those kids are about 13 going on 30?
18:09Where'd you look?
18:10You name it.
18:12I know a few people.
18:13I'll ask around.
18:14I bet you'd be able to ask a few people.
18:17Is everything okay with you two?
18:20Why shouldn't it be?
18:22And you can tell young Scott he's lucky that young kid shot through.
18:25As far as I'm concerned, there's one word to sum up women,
18:28and that's trouble.
18:38They don't need checks to see what that noise does to kids' brains.
18:41I think they've done some checks.
18:44Could be what's wrong with him.
18:45No wonder he's yelling his head off in his sleep every night.
18:50Better they employed him to listen to that noise,
18:53he'd go on strike.
18:55See you later.
18:58Get out!
18:59Night, Mum.
18:59Enjoy your evening.
19:01Don't worry.
19:01Where are you going?
19:03Out to dinner with a lovely lady.
19:05Don't wait up for me, Max.
19:08Who's he going out with?
19:11Er, Daphne.
19:15You're an angel.
19:16Well, the next best thing.
19:18Bye.
19:19Come in, I'm ready.
19:23Isn't she one in a million?
19:25Doesn't even keep you waiting for a second.
19:27Now, the meal's all ready when you are,
19:28and don't forget to turn the oven off.
19:30Yeah, thanks.
19:30Sure you don't want to join us?
19:32No, thanks.
19:34Good.
19:35Come on, then, beautiful.
19:36Night, Des.

19:54Paul?
19:55Hmm?
19:56Was the phone call from Daphne important?
19:58I mean, ever since you called,
19:59you've been looking at your watch and acting funny?
20:02Oh, look, it doesn't concern you, Julie, all right?
20:05Okay.
20:07Be secretive.
20:12Not falling for her, are you?
20:13Julie, what Paul does is no concern of ours,
20:17so just drop it, please.
20:18Thanks, Dad.
20:19That'll be for me.
20:20I'll go.
