Back to the Rafters (2021) s01e06 Episode Script

[theme music]
[piano music plays]
[woman] Excellent work, guys!
Shoulders.
[Julie] Tap your troubles away.
For an hour,
I did manage to forget.
[Teacher] That's it!
Tapping! Good work, girls!
You too, Colin!
Bring it forward.
Excellent.
The wolf's at your door
there's a bluebird in store ♪
If you glide
'cross the floor ♪
Ankles!
Till your ankles get sore ♪
And 1-2-3-4. Arms!
Your troubles away ♪
Your troubles away ♪
Your troubles away! ♪♪
Ready? And down. Hey!
Awesome, guys.
That was so good.
Have a quick breather.
And we're gonna end
with a cool-down routine.
- Fabulous!
- So good.
Better?
Err
[laughs]
[sighs]
- You're a natural.
- Oh!
As someone with two left feet.
- Oh!
- [giggles]
Tapped any away?
Oh. So many to choose from.
You really think
Buradeena's the answer?
For now. For Ruby. Yes.
Well, selfish Donna
hopes that time
brings all three of you back.
I've missed the old Rafters.
Well, the old Rafters have gone.
They drove off six years ago.
Trouble is we settled and we
never settled the details.
But you definitely see a future
as you AND Dave?
Yeah. In some form.
Just not sure what.
[Teacher claps] Cool-down time.
- Shuffle-hop-spring, girls!
- [chuckles]
[Julie] Keeping up
the façade for Donna's sake.
[Teacher] OK, let's get
those arms moving.
Just taking them around.
And reaching up. Beautiful.
Enjoy.
[Ben] Oi, Mum came
to say goodbye
and now she's being
dragged into tap class.
You should shoot it.
Yeah.
You'll get a good,
'Quick sticks!' from Donna.
[chuckles]
OK, what's up?
Looks like they're finishing up.
Watch my beer.
[women chatter]
He's, um,
not so carbonated today.
He's fizz-free.
Thank you so much
for the loan of the shoes.
And you've got a regular
if I do come back.
You did well.
You better not
have been filming!
No! See?!
Can we talk?
A farewell beverage
will be waiting.
You know I wouldn't hurt Rubes.
Not intentionally.
There are a lot of sickos
out there.
- Your audience, Carbo.
- Some of them.
I just wanted to say sorry.
And for mucking up
Observation Earth.
I just wanted to help.
And off doing your own thing.
It's for fun.
Connect with
your followers, fine.
But try and connect with
something fine in them.
Life's more than just
joke after joke, Carbo.
They expect me to be stupid.
The ads, merchandise.
It brings in the bucks.
You have the ear
of a million followers.
Try to make a difference.
Lecture done.
You're right.
I'm gonna call them on it,
even if I lose some.
Were they worth
having if you do?
True.
Ben and Cassie are really
looking forward to Greece.
Yeah, me and Retta too.
You're a good friend.
[Charles]
If it's too big for the car,
I can make other arrangements.
Oh, no
Julie!
My favourite painting for my
favourite budding talent.
To remind her to keep painting.
I'll leave it here.
I'll be back.
Or possibly not.
Thank you so much, Charles.
We'll squeeze it in, somehow.
It's too good for Buradeena.
Ruby is not a fan
of us going back.
Dad would come here
if we stuck it out.
Mum's giving in.
Consider matters
from another angle, Ruby.
Drought, fire, mining.
Country towns are the front line
in the fight against
climate change.
Shouldn't you be where you can
affect the most change? Hm?
Think about it. And give
you-know-who a break.
Please feel free to visit
anytime, Charles.
Bringing my paints and easel.
[they chuckle]
And don't you and Ben
be strangers.
You're welcome to stay
for dinner.
- I won't, but thank you.
- OK. Bye!
- Bye!
- Bye!
[Charles] Au revoir.
Oh, it's such a lovely gesture.
And you're taking
me away from him.
I'm taking you home
to Dad. And Paddo.
Charles knows all, right?
Yep. [clears throat]
[sighs]
Thank you for
having us here so long.
Oh, you kept us on our toes.
[they chuckle]
There's time before dinner if
Ah, yeah, I should
follow through. Thanks.
[sighs]
I'm thinking about it, OK?
Good.
What he said is sort of right.
But there are more people here
to get the message.
Well, possibly too many.
You're a breath in a gale here.
You ARE the gale in Buradeena.
You might make more change.
Don't you think it's run away
from you just a bit?
It has got crazy, I guess.
You need your feet
back on the ground.
And you miss your dad,
don't you?
Of course.
He hasn't said because he's
wanted to give us free rein,
but he misses us too.
Maybe we can go and work on him
and we can all move
back after a while.
Well
There so much more
happening here.
Make him, Mum, please!
I can't make him do anything,
sweetheart.
You can hope.
Mm. Except I'm not sure
what I do hope for anymore.
I thought I knew.
Kids are meant to
be the confused ones.
One stage of growing up
is realising
that your parents are
just as vulnerable as you.
I'd appreciate your support.
You really are confused.
I am.
Well, I guess
I have missed Paddo.
- Mm!
- And Rose. And Tara.
There you go.
Maybe Charles is right.
Let's see, shall we?
Can't hurt.
[chuckles] Come here.
You're a good girl.
- Dinner's ready.
- Thanks.
OK. Let's eat up.
We've got a big drive tomorrow.
- After you.
- [giggles]
[Julie] Driving towhat?
In search of what?
I'll run it by her
soon as she's home and settled.
You'll know either way.
OK, thanks, Rach.
How'd Eddie go? Kick a goal?
The Socceroos have their
eye on him. [imitates thud]
- That Rach again?
- Yeah.
Three in a day? I thought
Observation Earth was done.
It is.
Is it the baby?
Is everything OK?
Yeah. Yeah.
- Nothing serious?
- It shouldn't be.
OK, but I'm the one
telling your mother.
Don't tell your brother, either.
[Julie taps]
Nearly there.
[Julie] But I'm not.
Not even close.
All I know is small changes
aren't going to cut it.
[beeps horn]
Ruby! Ruby!
[Julie] Ha-ha! THAT'S a welcome!
- Hi, Rubes!
- Hi!
Hi, darling. Mwah!
- Good to see you.
- Yeah.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey, Rubes.
Hey.
Are we good?
We're good. Are you good?
I'm still a bit sore.
I'm proud of my girl.
'A lot of crap about crap?'
Really, Dad?
Most kids would hold a grudge.
You're not most kids.
Believe it.
OK?
Fine.
Go on inside.
Hey, you've come back!
Not the big one.
Here, take this one.
I'll take the big one.
[Julie] Then out of the blue
that night
[Dave] How does it feel?
- Being back?
- Yeah.
A bit strange.
Look, I want to run
something by you.
Old patterns can creep in
after 35 years,
so maybe you need
to really break them
to try and figure out new ones.
You get right away.
So why don't you fly over
and see Rach?
Be there for the birth?
Take as long as you need after?
I know you'd love to.
New York?
Help her.
And think your feelings through
free from the day-to-day.
I'm only just back.
Easy enough to pack again.
Well, what about Ruby?
She and I could do with some
one-on-one time.
Ben and Cassie can
take care of Ted.
They're going to Greece.
Not for a while. Not for long.
Your choice.
What do you say?
I can't just land on Rachel
I mean, we spoke last
time I was here
about my
tendency to take over.
I'd have to ask.
I have.
She's slept on it,
I didn't pressure her.
And she's good to go. More than.
She said that?
She actually thought
of asking you herself
since she's been back
but she didn't want to
complicate things for us.
- And would it?
- Only if we let it.
You're not pushing me away?
No. I want you to take
the opportunity.
Take as much time
as you need.
Not many husbands
would offer that.
I just want to see
you truly smile again.
Oh.
What is with him, Nathan?
When he's just got Mum home!
He's not making any sense.
We should talk to
both of them together.
If we can't say it, who can?
I've got an idea.
Hey, keep Saturday free.
I'll let you know when it's
all sorted. OK, ciao. Bye.
Hey, can you cover my
shifts on the weekend?
- Uh, sure. Why?
- It's an emergency. Buradeena.
- Your dad?
- No, no, no he's fine.
Well, his health is.
He's just got this crazy notion
That was Nathan.
- How's he?
- He's good. Settling in.
You care?
His apology was sweet, yeah.
Oh.
Colour me inconsistent.
And change the roster.
Thank you.
Tessa, Ben Rafter.
You up for doing me a favour?
[footsteps approach]
Mm. I dropped off waiting.
Sh! No need to wake.
I am now.
I've had an idea.
Sounds promising.
Of how to help
Mum and Dad, maybe.
I've got a better one.
I can't believe Dad. Talk about
shooting yourself in the foot.
Later.
I guess it can wait.
It can.
[giggles]
[Julie] Going around in circles
was appropriate.
Was rushing off to Rachel
just avoidance?
Still using the kids
as an excuse?
And was Dave
doing the same thing?
Where is everyone?
Hey, sleepyhead.
Mum and Nathan,
walking meditation.
Whatever that is.
Paddo - no idea.
- OK if I go see Tara?
- Sure.
I thought you were
giving that up.
I'm just tidying it up to sell.
Sometimes life
delivers a message.
Which is?
'Quit while you're alive.'
Well, what will you do now?
Something that doesn't
risk being impaled.
Makes sense.
I'm glad you didn't die.
I reckon I'm gladder.
It means you'll have time.
- For what?
- Joining me on the line.
Next climate protest! Go, Dad!
Uh-huh. Go, Daddy. Who's a dad?
- Come here!
- Argh! Dad!
[sighs]
Meditate not medicate.
[chuckles] And way more
peaceful than tap therapy.
Any answers?
Nothing concrete. You?
I think the job is enough
of an answer for me.
Yeah.
So Rach.
I told you, she's excited.
No. I mean,
how are you about it?
I think she needs me.
I don't want to sound
insensitive but does she really?
It was nearly eight months
before we even knew
she was pregnant.
She'll have it all sorted out.
It's easy to not feel vulnerable
when it's abstract.
But it's about to get very real
for her and I will be there.
OK.
I'll be gone a few months
at the most.
A few months?
Well, if she needs me
that long, yes.
What if you find what
you're looking for there?
In New York?
- Yeah!
- Oh, please.
It's a big town
with a lot to offer.
Ifif you did, are you sure
you're going just for Rachel?
We can talk about it
at the picnic.
Picnic?
What picnic?
All of us together, even Dad.
Ben's idea.
Nathan's hinted
there'll be speeches.
About what?
You, me. Us. New York worries
them when I'm only just home.
I mean, I'm meant to
be settling in.
- It's none of their business.
- They disagree.
You realise
we've reached that age.
When the kids start telling us
how to beehive.
We're not that old.
That'sold.
Yeah. We're there.
Bring on the walking frames.
Up yours, Greta Dagberg.
Shove a lump of coal in it.
Don't mess with me, dag-head.
Go, Rubes.
We need an
environment club at school
to turn around deniers like him.
- Yeah.
- We could put out a newspaper.
Old Spade won't let you.
I'll work on her. You in?
If Rose is, sure.
Hey, Rubes. Wrap it up.
Change of plan.
- 31
- How you doing, Grandad?
43, 47
- Strange.
- Prime numbers.
If you can't pee,
it never fails.
I've never made it past 51.
No, strange that he
can't remember yesterday
but he knows the primes.
Some things stick, I guess.
Where we going again?
Buradeena.
A family picnic.
Huh. A bloke
wouldn't want to miss that.
[sighs]
We'll have really lost him when
the long-term memories fade.
A bit like Mum.
Hm?
If whatever she's going through
means that the
good times fade
So today is a reminder, then?
A gentle nudge.
Not just for her.
Dad might need a wake-up too.
Very mysterious.
If you say it, you jinx it.
I'll tell you if it happens.
I'm superstitious!
Better out than in,
I always say.
Let's go.
I know what I'm doing.
I hope.
[all laughing and chattering]
[Cassie] Look at this!
[Dave] Ah, beautiful.
There you go, darling.
Oh, thank you. What about
the coffee shop?
Oh, that's all sorted.
Do you think I'd miss this?
There are things to make up for.
No, there aren't.
I overstepped the mark.
You helped.
As long as I did.
You did. We're fine.
OK.
All plates and utensils are
eco-friendly, Rubes.
Good one.
Hang on. Are you two
back together again?
They are. I saw them kiss.
[smooching, moaning]
- Sprung.
- Since when?
A little while.
I go away
and look what happens.
Can we talk about something
else, please?
Hi.
Oh, look! Saved by the bell.
Gang's all here.
We're getting them warmed up.
Hi, Dad.
Hey.
Where's Cassie?
She's taking a call.
I'll let her tell you.
Right. How was the drive?
We had an easy run,
didn't we, Grandad?
Only had to stop
for one whizz.
OK.
Don't see why a whizz is funny.
Come and get a beer, Ted.
Won't say no.
Whatever the reason,
this is lovely.
Well, marriage counselling
made me realise
how getting things out helps.
And we're worried about you.
Both of you.
You can say no.
It's just a picnic.
But there are things
we'd like to say.
Well, then I'd like to hear,
as long as your dad does.
But bear in mind I have decided
to visit Rachel.
Fair enough.
It's still worth hearing us out.
You're making me
nervous, you two.
- Let's just see how we go.
- OK.
Alright, come and get it.
Let's P-A-R-T why?
Why? Because this
is a picnic. [hoots]
Yeah!
[upbeat music plays]
Everything we do
in this life ♪
On the path of freedom
to the righteous ♪
Gotten it better
than you ever ♪
The only place
I'm better ♪♪
- What smells funny?
- What?
Clown poo. You know it!
I remember that one.
You're drinking a lot of that
stuff there, mate.
[Ruby belches]
Aww!
- Hello?
- Pardon me.
Better out than in.
That's the girl.
OK, why don't we just use that
as a Rafter punctuation mark
because this is a picnic
with a purpose, right?
[Nathan] Mm-hm.
[Julie] The old saying 'first
the laughter, then the tears'
never truer.
OK, this is adult stuff.
Eddie, Ruby Sorry, Tess.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
You can stay if you want, mate,
but it's not really for kids.
[sighs]
Ruby, coming?
Let me say something first,
then I'll be with you.
- Alright.
- [Tess] Come on, mate.
Thank you. Thanks.
OK. The last few weeks
you've all make me see that
adults are just grown-up kids.
Which is good. Because it takes
some of the pressure off.
I never really have to grow up.
I know what I want.
But whatever makes you happiest.
I'll leave you to get heavy.
Thanks, darling.
Oh. I'd be up for New York.
Think about it.
[laughs]
- OK, what about you, Grandad?
- I'm not a kid.
[laughter]
I'll say my part,
if that's OK?
As you all know,
I first met these guys
not long after
they came to town.
There were these two notices
with a little tear-off bit
in Tessa's café.
One was an apprentice sparkie.
With the long list
of 'must-bes',
'Must be a good problem-solver'
was one of them.
And I remember thinking,
'Yeah, OK, I think I am.'
And then the other notice was,
'Dave and Julie's
garden flat to rent.'
So it was meant to be.
And day one, I just thought you
guys were the coolest couple.
Perfect couple.
And I hope it stays that way.
Hashtag couple goals.
[laughter]
- Thanks, mate.
- [Ben] Thanks, Paddo.
OK, who's next?
[Ted] I'm not blind
on my good days.
But you don't have
to worry about me, love.
Or your mother.
We've got each other.
So you do what's right for you.
- Thanks, Dad.
- Thanks, Ted.
OK, um
Whatever I've lost lately
whatever I'm going to lose,
there's something
that I can never lose.
Something you both gave me.
It's my inner Rafter.
The thing that will see me
through the changes up ahead
and I hope it will see
you both yours.
And I hope it
will bring you back.
[Ben] Hard acts to follow.
Um, I just came up here to say
you're only just home. Don't go.
But that's pretty selfish.
And Dad seems fine with it,
so scrap that speech.
Instead
However it turns out,
we'll understand
'cause we love you
too much not to.
But we know what we hope.
It's hard to see you
ever not together.
And I guess that sums it up.
That word.
'Together'.
Only way to go, right, Dad?
I think I get your point, son.
[sighs] Cassie?
Is now OK?
- Let's do it.
- OK.
This is not about you.
It's about us.
We are going to adopt.
[gasps] Oh!
We're starting the process.
We're on the hunt
for a new Rafter.
Took me a little while
to catch on
but we're more
together than ever.
Oh, my darlings! Oh!
That's so great.
Oh, Julie.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
You can stop
with the 'togethers'.
Message received. Not subtle.
It wasn't meant to be.
[Paddo] This is a celebration!
I'll get the champagne.
[Julie] First the laughter,
then the tearsof happiness.
There was a lot
of well-intentioned
emotional blackmail there today.
Yes, there was.
As touching as it was.
And it was. Ben's right.
The way forward is together.
We shouldn't be apart.
Well, Ben might've been pushing
that butwe agreed I should go.
He wasn't saying you should
stay. He was saying I should go.
To New York.
What?
We both got patterns
we need to break.
I'm not forcing it on you.
Uh [sighs] What about Ruby?
We could take her.
What about school?
We could take her work with us.
It's up to you whether you
want us there or not.
Maybe our being there will spoil
how you see it all going.
But you're happy in Buradeena.
Doesn't mean I have
to be a stick-in-the-mud.
What I'm saying is that we can
both be there for Rach
and you can come home
when you want to.
Let's see where it takes us.
[Julie] And not
a moment too soon.
[sirens wailing,
car horns blasting]
[Julie] Her waters broke as
we walked out the arrivals gate.
[Rachel groaning in pain]
Breathe. Just breathe.
Do you want some water?
- No.
- No.
- Yes.
- Yes.
No. I don't know. I don't know.
You're doing so well,
sweetheart.
I'm so glad you're here.
As if I'd be anywhere else.
I'm so happy I'm not I'm not
No, you're not.
Whatever it is, you're not.
Alone. Not alone.
And Dad. I'm so happy.
- It means the world to us too.
- You need to find your purpose.
Yeah, well, maybe not right now.
No, trust me.
Pain makes you wise.
Your purpose. OK?
But don't lose Dad to find it.
OK.
I'm feeling very wise.
OK, Rachel.
It's time to check you again.
Is that OK?
[groans]
Oh, come on, sweetheart.
[groans]
Hey. You should sleep.
I can arrange a bed for her.
Rubes?
It's 15 hours.
It has to be soon.
I've known a lot longer.
Put your head down if you can.
I can here, thanks.
She'll be right.
That's so Crocodile Dundee.
That's not a knife,
this is a knife.
You just made my day.
Lame, Dad.
And proud of it.
[groaning in pain]
That's it.
[sighing]
Can we stop this now?
This can't be normal.
[laughs]
I never even
really wanted a baby.
Yes, you do. Yes, you do.
There has to be
a more efficient way to do this.
OK, and again, push. Push.
- I can't. I can't.
- Yes, you can. Come on.
[breathing hard, straining]
That's it. That's it.
Perfect. Good girl.
She is almost here. OK?
Just hold it there.
Hold?
It's normal. That's normal,
sweetheart. That's normal.
Rachel, Rachel,
I can just see her hair.
Mum!
Control now.
Just tiny little pushes.
And breathe.
Breathe. Breathe.
That's perfect. Her head is out.
Her shoulders will come out
and one big push.
Ready? Push. Push!
[strains]
She's here!
You're all done.
Is she alright?
Welcome to the world,
little one.
- Is she OK?
- It's alright. It's alright.
She is perfect.
[baby cries]
Here she is.
Hello, gorgeous girl.
Say hello, Grandma.
Pinch me, Linda.
Who?
It's a long story.
Pinch me very hard.
Amazing.
You should see her.
She's beautiful.
Uh! Not yet. Not yet.
Our daughter has a baby.
[cries]
Our daughter.
Whatever our problems,
we will solve them together.
And I will find my purpose.
With you.
Because I love you, Dave Rafter.
There's that smile.
There it is.
I've missed you.
[woman] So column H is
what we're left with each week.
You're right. There's way too
much waste of produce.
Let's find a balance
between cutting back orders
and not limiting the menu.
Sounds good.
[phone chimes]
Excuse me. I've gotta take this.
Dad?
[laughing] Go, Rach!
I'm an uncle!
Yes!
Got some good news
to tell you, Grandad.
Oh, yeah?
There is another Rafter
in the world.
- Boy or girl?
- A girl.
Better luck next time.
You can't say that, Grandad.
Daughters. You've got
to pay for the wedding.
Mind you, we wouldn't
be without our Julie for quids.
Grandad's in un-PC mode.
Ooh. Oh. Two. Two, three
Hold it, Grandad.
Seven, 11.
Stop counting till we get to
the loo. Come on.
13, 17, 19.
Come on.
What comes after 19?
I'll tell you when we get there.
Come on.
19!
[woman] She's beautiful.
That's not a baby,
this is a baby.
[weak laughter]
Private joke.
We should go.
Yeah, we'll let you
get some sleep.
Couldn't have
done it without you.
Ah, well,
we make a great team.
We do.
Sorry, I lost sight
of that for a while.
Well, next time, if there is
one, as soon as you know, we do.
Promise.
There will be hell to pay
if you don't, I reckon.
Rest up.
What do you think, Rubes?
OK, I guess.
Don't sound too excited.
She's cute.
Later.
She's hardly slept.
Who is Linda?
When I was in India
at the Taj Mahal,
you have to go through
this gate to see it.
You walk in
and the postcard view,
it just hits you, you know? Pow.
And so I'm standing there and
I hear this voice behind me
'Oh, my god, pinch me,
Linda. I'm really here.'
This rather loud
tourist in a tie-dyed T-shirt
talking to her friend.
Pinch me, Linda.
Never heard a better reaction
to the wonder of life.
That says it all.
I'll see you tomorrow.
I'm really here.
Cigar, Unkie Nathan?
Best I could find in Buradeena.
Actually the only one.
Thanks!
Hey, Mum says she's cute as.
She doesn't
take after you, then.
- Lucky girl.
- Reckon.
The clan expands!
Congratulations.
Thanks, Tess.
- What do you think, Eddie?
- I hope they bring her back!
Do ya? I reckon they will.
Check her out! Check her out!
[Eddie] She so cute!
Every cynic melts
when they see a newborn.
You're no cynic.
Catch me on a bad day.
She is just beautiful.
Send them a cyber hug from me,
won't you?
Yeah, will do.
Come on, buddy.
You should send that
to Uncle Ben.
Yes!
It's Mum. Don't hang up.
It's been so long.
A friend of mine's daughter just
had a baby and I was thinking
I thought
Hello? Hello?
Us? Godparents?
Yes.
- We're here and you're there.
- I'll be coming home more.
Definitely for the christening.
I'll make sure she knows you.
We're still trying to get our
heads around the parent thing.
I've seen you
with Ruby and with Edward.
I can't think of anyone
I'd rather trust Louise with.
[both] Louise?!
Aww, cute.
She has Grandma's eyes.
Grandad will be chuffed.
So will I, if you accept.
We would love to.
Yeah?
Uh, yeah! Of course.
Does this definitely mean
I'm the golden-haired child?
I happily relinquish the crown.
Thank you.
Our absolute pleasure.
- Later.
- Bye.
Hey. Still can't sleep?
No.
Can I get you anything?
Hot milk?
No.
Let me know if there is.
Why do people keep acting
like it's the best thing?
- What?
- Babies.
Look at what she's coming into.
Oh! Honey, a whole lot of love.
I mean the world.
Well, but where would we be if
everyone thought like that?
Better off, maybe.
Overpopulation
is one of the problems.
Yeah, but the answer
is not to stop having babies.
What is, then?
No one seems to know.
Darling, maybe stop reading
some of the grimmer articles.
That's just burying
my head in the sand.
Yes, but if they upset you,
sweetheart
We should ALL be upset!
I'm scared. Everyone should be.
Well, we'll just
have to try harder.
But will we?
Well, you will. We will.
- Will you?
- Of course I will.
Promise?
[Julie] And it struck me.
Just like that.
Yes. I do.
[man speaks on TV]
Too many channels.
[turns TV off]
What's news?
Uh, research.
I've had a left-of-field
thought. Way left.
About what?
How to keep a promise.
[Julie] How to have a purpose.
It's amazing how
the small moments
can suddenly come together
to guide you to something huge.
[chuckles]
Doggie-do art.
My first enviro-militant act.
[types]
Old attitudes
to women and education.
'Typing, shorthand, and home
economics is all a girl needs,'
so said Mum, bless her.
I do envy your generation.
Thanks.
[Julie] And an insight
from your daughter.
You need to find your purpose.
[Julie] And all the pieces of
the puzzle clicked into place.
Nine months, a bridging course,
and one christening later,
starting my degree
in sustainability.
Pinch me, Linda.
I'm really here.
Off on my three-year journey.
The answer it's all been leading
to. Who would've guessed?
So excited. So terrified.
[horn pipping in distance]
And with Dave's total support.
It was there at the start
of our last big journey.
Road trip of the mind.
That's so sweet.
And so sentimental.
Nothing wrong with sentimental.
[Julie] Nothing.
The christening proved that.
[gentle music]
[Julie] A sea of sentiment.
Rachel loving her daughter.
Loved as a daughter even more.
In pride of place,
a Ruby Rafter original.
There's no stopping her
since our many visits
to the Guggenheim.
Title - 'Louise'.
Dad's pleased, we think.
We hope.
He's slipping.
The next wedding, Dave's
best man - proud as punch.
My two besties
have hit it off.
Ben calls us
the Three Musky Dears.
Nathan's inner Rafter
is seeing him through.
He's been needing it.
I’m not sure what’s happening
with Nathan and Anna.
Eddie hopes he does.
Anna’s here
to support the godparents.
Ben and Cassie
wanting to make a difference.
Adoption became fostering.
Off to a rocky start - Garth.
Carbo’s been using his
streaming for the greater good,
and doubled his
followers in the process.
So there we were.
All of us together
to name the newest Rafter.
Our crowd. Birds of a feather.
Welcome, as we gather to baptise
Louise Julie Rafter
into the fellowship of Christ.
Before we commence, let us pray.
[Julie] For a world
worthy of the children.
[reflective music]
Look at me, Mum. I’m at Uni.
Watch out, grandma!
[Julie] Not that it won’t
come without challenges.
But that’s another story.
