Bed of Roses (2008) s03e10 Episode Script
Heartache
.
(Cries) I just came to say goodbye.
I don't want to break up, Holly.
Bye, Sean.
Um, I'm looking for Dan? Will I do? You're Dan? (Laughs) I've got it.
You got yours? How old do you reckon Dan is? I think he said he was 31.
Should we be worried? We should be worried.
Cheers.
Cheers.
What happens now? You know what this'll do to business.
Hang onto your hat, Marg.
As always! A great friend you always turn out to be.
(Puffs) (Woman speaks Italian) What's that, Paula? I would like a sandwich and an apple.
Please repeat.
(Speaks Italian) CD: (Speaks Italian) Do you mind if I breastfeed here? Please repeat.
(Speaks Italian) (CD continues in Italian) Have a good day.
Repeat.
(Speaks Italian) It's gonna be a great day, Paula.
I can feel it.
You're late.
Nice shot.
Thanks.
I think we should sell the hardware business.
Hang on.
Did I miss something? Come on, Gavin.
With that money Mega Tools have been offering, it's nearly double what we had it valued at.
Yeah but And it's not just about the money.
It's about closure.
Don't you think that we should What? Split.
Completely.
Properly.
I mean, obviously, emotionally it's all over.
But financially, we need to tidy things up a little bit.
We always said that we'd hold on to the hardware.
Yeah, for Jamie, I know.
But He's not here, anymore.
Hardware's my livelihood.
What? With the money from Mega Tools, you will be able to retire.
Retire? Why would I want to retire? I'm in the prime of my life.
I'm fitter and healthier than I've ever been.
Since when? Since I got a new bike.
I've got a new exercise regime.
And I'm learning Italian.
Why? Self-improvement.
A healthy mind and a healthy body.
Physically, mentally.
I'm on fire! £ Theme music £ I lay down in a bed of roses £ I woke up lying on a bed of nails £ It's the oldest of tales £ Lose the wind £ From your sails £ I lay down in a bed of roses £ And I woke up lying on a bed of nails.
£ (Sighs) Oh, there you are.
Rita's waiting for us.
What's she doing here? We're interviewing her for Viv's job, remember? What? No, no.
She's not right.
Yes, she is.
You haven't even talked to her yet.
She's been doing a night course in graphic design and she's keen and she's smart.
Wrong for this role.
No, no.
Vivien called.
She's extending her holiday for another month.
We'll cope.
No, we won't.
I can assist with writing.
Been meaning to talk to you.
I've been putting pen to paper, every day.
It's a habit of the creative.
Did you get that article that I emailed? Don't think so.
But do you get that the Echo needs a new administrator or we won't function properly? We'll be five.
(Sighs) (Police radio chatters) (Police siren wails) Nan.
Nan, you were meant to stop.
No, no.
I think he meant someone else.
Nan! Nan, stop! Oh.
I'll fix this.
They just want to see your licence.
I haven't got a licence.
What? Vivien's shoes aren't easy ones to fill.
She really held things together, around here.
She was like the linchpin.
Exactly.
She was in charge to oversee the paper got out each week, with the right layout.
And formatting.
Page numbering.
Vivien was very good with computers.
You comfortable with technology? This isn't a restaurant.
Guys.
I'm across all the basics.
Working with the latest version of Word, Excel, the Internet.
For accounting, I like to use NetSuite.
I love learning new programs, if you prefer something else.
I'm comfortable with PageMaker, InDesign or Quark for the copy and, obviously, Photoshop for the photographs.
Is that what Vivien used? You know, obviously, being a small paper, I'd expect to help out wherever I can.
Double-checking facts, proofreading, anything, anything at all.
Oh, the only thing I don't like is having nothing to do.
Well, that is what we love to hear, isn't it, Marty? Yeah.
You can get our lunch, then.
Ha.
Oop, sorry.
So, well, congratulations.
You're hired.
No.
We need to talk this through, go through the correct processes.
Can you start today? Mm-hmm.
Thanks.
Gavin, you won't be disappointed.
Thanks, Martin.
OK.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Where's my desk? Sean Smithwick? I'm sorry I'm late.
Nice to meet you.
How can I help? I hate violence but, unfortunately, I have to do this.
Ow.
You alright? Shit.
Driving without a licence is illegal.
You know this, because I've pulled you up about it before.
She told me she got her licence back.
Only that silly reverse parking thing.
I have to charge you now.
No, but You're lucky it stops there.
You also failed to comply with the directions of a police officer.
Not to mention failing to stop a vehicle when requested.
I did stop.
Eventually.
Sorry.
Could you excuse me a moment? Dan? Holly.
Hi.
Are you OK? A guy comes to see me, we shake hands, and he socks me one.
(Sighs) That's terrible.
He apologised before he did it.
He's a complete nut.
Oh.
You know him.
Apparently not.
You should come with a warning.
(Laughs) Oh, Louisa, I've laid out the front page.
Really? Mm-hm.
Already? If you don't like the artwork this size, I can easily adjust it, give it a different border.
No, that's, uh, that's incredible Rita.
Oh, can I get you a coffee? No, she has tea.
White with one.
Oh, OK.
Actually, I'd love a coffee for a change.
Thanks.
How lucky are we? Mm.
Rita.
I just want to say how well you're doing with the job, so far.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, I was a bit worried about us working together, given our history.
But I shouldn't have worried.
It feels normal.
I can't believe you were worried.
We went out ages ago.
I know.
Look, I'll always be grateful that you had the courage to tell it like it was.
Right.
I was so upset when we broke up.
But it's the best thing that could have happened.
Good.
Yeah, when I think about you and me, it's so silly.
We wouldn't have been growing old together - you're already there.
Yeah, well, it's nice to get that sorted.
Um Louisa.
Louisa.
What's up? My article.
Have you had a chance to read it? I've been a little bit busy.
Well, let me know when you have.
Yeah.
Actually, now Rita's here, you probably don't have to worry about it 'cause I can do the writing on my own.
We're good.
I know what you're thinking.
I've only done editorial stuff before.
But this is different.
It's a proper feature article.
It's a travel piece on Italy.
Yeah, I know.
I saw.
I want to start contributing more to the paper.
I feel like my writing's really coming on.
It's like the muse is with me all the time.
Here, right now.
I feel like it's flowing out of me, like a waterfall.
(Kettle whistles) You see.
I wouldn't have spoken poetically like that before.
No, you wouldn't.
Hey.
So, I've had a chat to the cop, and they're letting your mate off with a warning.
My mate.
Right.
That's quite a torch he's carrying.
He is.
I mean, he was.
He's just mixed up.
I can't believe he made an appointment.
Hope you're going to bill him.
Yeah, I should.
I'll see you round.
Thanks.
Look who I ran into.
I've been telling Sean the reason why I'm here is because of that, um that weasel who tried to snatch my purse in in the supermarket.
Yes.
They're dreadful these people who break the law, aren't they? Um, he's here reporting a stray dog he found.
A dog? To the police? So kind and thoughtful and non-violent of you.
I've told him we can give him a lift home.
What? I can catch the bus.
It's OK.
Good.
Because I'm late for work.
Oh no, you're dropping me off and Sean's on the way.
(Sighs) What the hell were you thinking? Who said I was thinking? I heard you two were going out.
So you punched him? Seemed like the right thing to do.
Do I need to warn every guy I go out with about you? There are more? He's too old for you, Hol.
The only reason you weren't charged is because Dan knows an idiot when he sees one.
And I'm not even going out with him.
You selling? Little bird told me I should.
Can't see myself working at a funeral parlour the rest of my life.
Oh, sounds like good advice, then.
She's a smart bird.
Thanks for the lift.
Bye.
Interesting boy, your Sean.
He's not mine.
And don't try to distract me from what happened this morning.
I expect you want me to promise never to do it again.
Since when can I tell you what to do? I AM coming to court tomorrow, though.
Oh, no, no.
I'll go by myself on the bus.
Well, you could.
But I'm coming, anyway.
Thank you, darling.
You know, you've got to admit, just for a minute there, you and me on the run from the police.
Just like Thelma and Louise.
Awesome.
Big churchy wedding didn't stop Davo from buggering off.
No offence to Father Samuel, but I've been there, done that.
Sorry I'm late.
Hi, Tamara.
Hi, Holly.
How's it going? Good.
Look at you! You're so big, now.
We're about to give Harry his very own official naming ceremony.
Your mum's coming along.
You should come.
Fantastic.
I'd love to.
Oh.
Marg, can I please have a word to you? Sure.
Oh.
Just be a minute.
Have you seen the kitchen? The leak's got worse.
I know.
I've called the roofing guy.
I'm just waiting on another quote.
The thing is, it hasn't rained for days.
Oh.
(Sighs) Ew.
There is sewerage dripping into my pub's kitchen! It's alright - I've brought my lunch.
Plumber said there were issues.
I put it off.
Want to know why? Des Bryce charges like a wounded bull.
I was waiting for money to come through from the sale of our hardware business.
So that's what this is about? I'm supposed to be running a celebrant's business and I don't have an office.
I thought we were talking about the hardware? I need to refurbish the pub, to have an office, and to do that, I need cash.
Do you need to be a celebrant? Isn't the pub enough? Why do you have to hang onto a hardware business? Isn't running a paper enough? Well, that's different.
Oh.
Well, it is! Oh.
This paper's a bloody community service.
I am setting up an appointment with Mega Tools and we are selling.
You are welcome to come along and watch me make a killing.
(Stammers) No buts! The hardware business is on the market and I am no longer part of your life.
'Why Italy? by Gavin Braithwaite.
Rome's cobbled back streets are as mysterious as an aged chianti.
The Italian ladies strut past with their ancient ARSENAL of beauty.
Emphasis on arsenal.
' He wrote that? Yes.
Well, you've got to give the guy credit for trying.
Yeah, but he wants my feedback.
He wants me to publish this but I can't.
Well, Louie, this is the moment where you have to stretch the truth a little.
And be very good at it.
No, I'm not gonna lie.
Sometimes a white lie is the only way.
A guy doesn't need a lot of words to get the picture.
Less is more.
Less is definitely more.
Tell him it was a great effort.
And if it isn't? Keep it up.
He'll appreciate your brevity.
'Keep it up.
' Is that bloke speak for give it up? No, that's bloke speak for average performance.
What's bloke speak for, 'Gav, stick to selling 'cause your writing' Oh no.
Hang on.
During his fourth grand final as a coach, Ron Barassi once told a player, 'You are not worth a cold crumpet.
' (Laughs) Help! Why didn't I think of that? Help.
Bye.
See you, Louie.
(Door closes) Hi.
Where are Marty and Rita? They're getting their lunch.
Ah, so, it's just you and me.
Did you read my article? Yep.
What did you think? Well, I thought it was a great effort.
And? And I think you should keep up the hard work.
And I might go get some lunch.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Is that it? No.
Uh There's a glimmer of hope and with a lot of hard work, you could really have something here.
Louisa, this isn't half-time at the football.
That represents a serious literary endeavour.
Yeah.
yeah.
Can I just ask, you know, this writing thing, does it come naturally? It's not forced.
No, no.
It flows.
It's like, well, like a waterfall.
Waterfall.
Yeah, I know.
You hated my writing.
Gavin.
I, I I just think 'hate' is a really strong word.
You know what's bugging me, here? You're beating round the bush.
I think it's wonderful you've got such a lovely hobby.
A hobby? Yeah.
The neighbourhood centre runs a monthly writer's group.
I'm not going to share my work with those idiots.
You asked for my opinion.
Well, give it to me! Go on - out with it! You think my writing sucks.
No, I don't think your writing sucks.
Yes, you do.
No.
Say it, Louisa.
No.
Say it.
Gavin, I don't think Say it, Louisa.
No! 'Gavin, your writing sucks!' Gavin, your writing's not worth a cold crumpet! (Both gasp) (Groans) Gav? Gav? (Groans) Gavin.
Oh! (Groans) What's going on? Get an ambulance.
Gavin, just breathe.
Gavin, Gavin! We're going to do an ECG.
Someone will be out to speak to you, shortly.
Yep.
Going to wheel you into surgery, now, OK? You don't need to worry.
Angioplasty is very common following a myocardial infarction.
Is that what I had? Sounds a bit rude.
(Laughs) Are you OK? Yep.
Oh, is that Gavin? Yeah, yeah.
It's going to be OK.
He's having a procedure.
What? What sort of procedure? For his heart.
They're feeding a tube up through his groin and then they feed a balloon through it.
Then they blow the little balloon thing up to keep the artery open, where it was blocked.
Right.
It's more technical than that.
But apparently it works really, really well.
And then they, uh, then they put something in called a stent.
With a spring.
That keeps the artery open.
Right.
Marg, are you OK? Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
People have stent surgery, all the time.
It's just plumbing, really.
Bill Clinton.
Oh my God - look at Bill, now.
Better than new.
The man behind the Secretary of State.
Oh.
Marg, are you OK? Marg? Marg! Nurse! Can I get a trolley over here, please? Marg, what's happening? Your friend's fine.
It was a panic attack.
Happens quite often.
Can we see her? Yeah, of course.
She's just up through here.
Marg.
It's me and Deb.
Hi.
Gav's operation went well.
He just needs some rest.
Just like you.
Night.
(Sighs) You look like you could do with some sleep.
Come on.
Drive you home.
(Sighs) How is he? Um, well, he's alright, I think.
The surgery seemed to go well.
He's not going to die? No, no, no.
He's, um He's very lucky.
It was a close shave.
It's so awful.
He was just starting to find himself.
I went through his files.
Gavin hasn't got much advertising sorted.
I'm happy to work through the night.
Yeah.
I think we should all go home.
Paper's due out in less than 48 hours.
I don't think there's going to be a paper this week.
(Loud music plays) (Men chatter) I'll have a beer, thanks, babe.
Sorry, we're closing.
Fellas, do we want to leave any time soon? ALL: No! Did you hear that? Well, it's not up to you.
I'm telling you it's closing time.
You know, you're pretty cute when you're angry.
(Sighs) Last drink.
You get it? Yeah.
(Sighs) Hey.
You normally knock off now.
I will.
Marg had to go, so I'm closing for her.
What are you doing here? Wanted to see if you wanted a drink.
Why would I want a drink with you? So I can apologise for punching out that guy.
The guy's name is Dan.
Yeah.
It wasn't cool, and, I promise, from now on, I won't punch anyone else you choose to go out with.
That's big of you, Sean.
Though, if it was up to me, you wouldn't go out with anyone else.
Well, it's not up to you.
Hey, bar chick.
Still thirsty, over here.
I told you - we're closing.
(All laugh) Are you OK with these guys? What are you going to do? Punch them? Sean, I'm fine.
Just please go.
Come on.
Go, go.
(All cheer) Cheers, boys.
(Men chatter) (Sighs) Hey.
Are you OK? It's late.
Yep.
(Sighs) It wasn't exactly the day I had in mind.
Sometimes they never are.
(Sighs) I nearly killed Gavin.
So much for telling the truth.
Come on.
Is that your boyfriend? No.
Do you have a boyfriend? No.
Would you like a boyfriend? You guys have to leave! Do you want me to call my boss? She owns the place and she won't be happy you're still here.
Yeah, go ahead.
Tell her we wouldn't be so pissed, if you served food in this joint.
Go on, call her.
Is she as cute as you? (All laugh) Good one.
We'll get a slab and go back to my place.
(All talk at once) MOBILE: Hi, you've reached Margaret Braithwaite's voicemail.
I'm not available, so leave a short message and I'll get back to you.
Not a very caring boss you've got there.
Leaving you alone with a few blokes like us.
(Laughs) Let's do it.
(All chant) Beer, beer! (Glass breaks) Oh! What are you doing back here? Need a drink for the road.
(All laugh) What the hell are you doing? (All cheer) Hey, relax.
Can someone tell this chick to relax? We've been trying.
Come on, we're going to a party.
I don't want to go to a party.
Something on? Exclusive thing.
Invite only.
We gotta celebrate.
Not every day you get let off an assault charge.
Get yourself into trouble? Nothing I couldn't handle.
Where's this party at? I can't tell you that.
Need a password to get in.
Chicks from the city got a place up here.
Come on, mate.
It's not your scene.
Why? You couldn't handle it.
These city girls, you wouldn't believe the stuff they get up to.
What sort of stuff? That is for me to know and you never to find out.
That's lame, man.
Sorry.
Can't help.
What if we promise not to tell anyone where we heard about it? One little address.
Come on.
You got a pen? (All laugh) Righto, fellas.
We're outta here.
Whoo! Goodnight, darling.
There's no party, is there? I gave them Greg's address.
Greg? As in the cop? Thanks.
Hey, mate.
You didn't tell us the password.
Second chance.
Cheers, mate.
(Door closes) (Car leaves) That's two words.
Can I give you a hand locking up? No, it's OK.
I'll clear some glasses.
OK.
There's some out there.
OK.
(Music starts to play) You remember when we first heard this together? I was sweeping up dead flowers from the back of the hearse.
And I left the handbrake off.
No.
We're not doing this.
Why? I told you it didn't mean anything.
It's not that.
I'm happy you went and pashed Xena, Warrior Princess.
You're young.
Maybe you should be kissing Xenas all around the world.
What? And it's not just you.
Maybe I should be going out with a million different guys, all hugely inappropriate, trying new things, climbing Mt Everest, getting weird parts of my body pierced.
I don't I don't get it.
We're too young.
We're holding each other back.
From life.
You really mean that? £ She don't want to go £ Home is all I know £ She don't want to go £ Home is all I know £ She don't want to go £ Home is all I know £ She don't want to go £ Home is all I know £ But then you say I don't want to hear about £ All the things that we did £ Then you want to talk about it.
£ GAVIN'S VOICE: 'It fills the terrazzo-tiled corridors of my mind with the frescoes of forbidden pleasures.
The pungent pong of parmigiano hits one like a Mediterranean wake-up call.
' That sucks?! 'A restless unease grips the visitor, who feels the iron grip of Caesar still flexing his Roman muscle' is a cold crumpet?! 'The sun-dried Tuscan sky dims once more, over the land of gladiators, angels and belladonnas' is a cold .
.
crumpet.
Oh.
Oh, God.
Oh.
Rang the hospital.
Yeah.
Gavin had a good night.
Oh, thank God.
Heart attacks are caused by blood clots in the artery.
There are also other risk factors that are involved.
Louisa Atherton is not one of them.
Yeah.
But you may as well add me to the list.
Louie.
Oh, come on.
You would have let it go through to the keeper.
You would have found ways of not publishing the article.
What? Why am I blaming myself? You told me to lie.
It's your bad karma.
What I said was a little Doesn't matter, anyway.
You didn't listen to me.
That's what I love about you.
You're gorgeous and you don't lie.
OK.
Rita, can you get onto the Indigo Historical Society.
There's a woman there named Penny Lee.
She has a piece for me and she normally does a pretty good job.
Penny Lee.
Thanks.
Marty.
We need a few half pages by printing time.
Get onto those advertisers for me.
What, me? You've watched Gavin do it.
You'll be great.
I'll take this with me.
You said there wasn't going to be a paper.
Rita, when I'm gone, would you say why it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind.
Yes.
'Explain to Marty.
' What? Whatever the magistrate says, you won't argue with them.
You just smile and nod and do exactly as you're told.
OK? What else would I do? Minna Franklin.
According to these police reports, despite having been warned that driving without a licence is strictly illegal, you were caught a second time doing exactly this.
Is that correct? Yes.
Your Honour.
And what have you got to say for yourself? Only that I am profoundly sorry.
And that it won't happen again.
I will be reapplying for a licence and, until I receive one, I will not be driving a vehicle.
Of any kind.
Right.
I'm issuing you with a fine of $500.
Next.
Excuse me, Your Honour, if I could just ask, what would my money be used for? I'm sorry? I'm very happy to pay the fine.
There's a number of public works I'm very comfortable contributing to but there are other things which I couldn't, in all conscience, support.
For example, an ugly freeway extension.
I mean, that really wouldn't do.
Having been caught driving illegally on two occasions, you now want to tell the court how it should spend your fine? Yes, that's right.
Obviously, I need to make it clearer to you that this court does not condone your behaviour, nor does it appreciate time wasters.
In addition to the fine, you'll be unable to apply for a new licence for a minimum of two years.
Next.
Go on, say it.
Your nan's a noodle.
You are a noodle.
But she was one mean magistrate.
How I am going to cope for two years if I can't drive a car? Lucky you've got me.
Darling, if you're still here in two years driving me round I will be very depressed.
Well, I'm here, now.
So, where to? Oh, um, shops.
She hasn't left his side all night.
It's beautiful to find a husband and wife still so devoted.
Yep.
They're no ordinary couple.
(Mumbles) The colour's come back into his face.
Did you notice? Yeah, he looks a lot better.
Well, the nurse says you can go home.
Oh, I, um I'd prefer to stay.
Hey, I can look after him if you want to freshen up.
OK.
Well, before I forget, he'll probably want this.
Oh, hi.
Rita.
Everything's OK in the office.
I just wanted to see how he's doing.
Oh.
Yeah, he's there.
There's no visitors.
He needs his rest.
I'll just be a minute.
Just give him these.
OK, I'll take them.
I'll pop my head in.
That's all.
He needs his sleep.
Well, I'll just wait, then.
See how awful this is.
Taking your nan shopping.
Makes me feel ancient.
You'll have to think of another means of transport, then.
Such as? A bike.
What happens if a bag of bones like me falls off a bike? Then you get back on again.
Oh, no.
Come on.
Have you got the shopping list? Thank you.
Oh, what's this? Sean - pros and cons.
That's not it.
Uh-uh.
Cons - only boy I've ever seriously dated.
Immature.
Too young.
You can't count those two as cons.
They're basically the same thing.
I didn't.
Nan, give it back.
Pros Oh! Spoilsport.
We're just getting to the interesting part.
(Laughs) They're lovely.
It's a shame Gavin's allergic to lilies.
One Valentine's Day, he filled my whole room up with them.
That's what you do when you're having a midlife crisis.
Maybe it wasn't the flowers that he was allergic to.
Girls, can we just keep it down.
It's really sweet of you to come by, but Gavin could be asleep for hours.
There must be something you have to do at work.
We'll tell Gavin you came by, won't we? Look, it's my fault he's lying in there.
Will you just let me apologise! Look, I said something to him before he collapsed about how old he was.
I didn't mean for it to come out like that, but There is nothing going on between us.
I just want to apologise.
How long were you two together? Five minutes? Do you honestly think something that small could have such a big impact on his life? I caused this to happen.
I've been hassling him to sell the hardware business.
It was the first thing we ever owned.
I told him we had to sever all ties and move on.
Maybe he wasn't ready for that.
I marched into his office and I abused him.
It was me! The only thing he was worried about was this article about Italy and I told him his writing sucks and then he collapsed on the floor.
Alright? Mr Braithwaite's awake.
He's asking for a shave.
He's not up to it himself.
I'm more than happy to do it but usually family members like to.
Mrs Braithwaite? Yes, yes.
Of course.
Why are you doing this? Nurse says you're not able to shave yourself yet.
Oh.
You know what they say about your life flashing before your eyes? It's true.
Not everything.
Just the big ticket events.
Coming towards you.
You were in nearly every one.
(Laughs) The good ones or the bad ones? We've seen 'em all, you and I.
I knew I needed to start looking after my health.
Cut back the drinking.
Start getting fit.
Left it all a bit late.
No way.
It's never too late.
You think so? Why Italy? Going out to get razors.
These hospital ones are useless.
Mrs Braithwaite, I've left some post-operative care information by his bed.
The cardiologist will be making an appointment.
Janey, he likes his golf.
Don't worry.
He'll be teeing off in no time.
Mrs Braithwaite.
Mm.
If I didn't know any better, I'd say you liked that.
Fine time for the pub's kitchen to be down.
I bet there's no food for Gavin at his place.
Wonder where his car is? Still at the office.
I can ask Nick to bring it over.
(Sighs) Where was I? Razors.
Hey.
They can wait.
Marg, listen, you need to look after yourself, alright? Go home.
Get some sleep.
You're supposed to be doing Harry's naming ceremony for Tamara this afternoon, right? Gavin's had a heart attack.
But you had a panic attack.
When you broke up with him, it was a very stressful time, but this situation's made it so much more confusing.
But it isn't real.
HE is my husband.
Marg, he's not your husband.
Fine.
OK.
As a good professional, this afternoon, I will go and perform Harry's naming ceremony.
But as a good ex-wife, I'm now going to get Gavin some razors.
Hi.
Oh, let me.
I'll get that.
I, um Well.
Thanks.
So, how are you? Good.
I'm so sorry I said those things about your article.
I put a lot of work into that.
But you made me say it.
I didn't.
You did.
I, um I did make a couple of little suggestions.
I bet I know.
The angels and the cheese.
No, Gav, there were 29 references to voluptuous women.
You asked why Italy.
What I did is I just tried to cut back the torrent Waterfall.
Waterfall of ideas.
Just a little bit.
Mm.
Read it to me.
What? Now? How else am I going to improve? (Baby cries) What a magical garden you have, Harry.
We've got your brother and sister to thank for that, but six months ago, Luke wouldn't say boo and now we can hardly hold him back.
How far this family has come.
And it hasn't always been easy, especially for Tamara, who's been doing it on her own.
But I guess that this is where a village community comes in.
You're a lucky boy.
Because you've got a whole team of support here in Rainbow's End.
We might drive you nuts, occasionally.
But we always have your best interests at heart.
And now, before your mother gets too teary, I think we should name you.
This candle represents your inner light.
Your beautiful soul.
I officially name you Jamie Harry.
Harry Thomas Denning.
And now your mother, brother and your sister should kiss you.
(Applause) (Guests chatter) (Kids laugh and call out) That was, well, it was beautiful.
A naming ceremony and I get his name wrong.
I don't think he noticed.
You saw Jamie back there, didn't you? When you looked at Harry.
You saw your son.
I've been thinking so much about him, lately.
Is it because of you and Gavin? I do wonder that if Jamie hadn't died (Sighs) Something like that puts such an intense strain on a marriage.
Do you think you might have survived? Maybe.
Now, this thing with Gavin, it's like .
.
like we'd been sent a second chance or something.
Marg, do you want to get back together? I have no idea.
No idea.
I know I miss him.
(Sighs) I miss my boys.
My boys.
Hey.
Hey.
I've been thinking about what you said.
We're not holding each other back.
That's not how it is for me.
You've opened my world .
.
to a million different things I never would have thought about before I met you.
Like what? Big things.
Like making me realise how much I love my art.
How I should sell the business and do what I feel passionate about.
And little things.
New gelato flavours.
I'd still be eating chocolate and vanilla for the rest of my life, if it wasn't for you.
I'm serious.
And I am completely open to piercing any part of my body, if you reckon that'll broaden our horizons.
I love you, Hol.
And I will never take you for granted, again.
Hi.
Can I help you there? Yes.
I'd like to buy a bicycle.
Sure.
Did you have a type of bike in mind? Um, a silver one.
Oh, what about this one? That's an electric bike.
It's got a small motor here in the front wheel.
A motor? Yep.
I like motors.
And that throttle mode there can put the motor on full power, and you don't have to pedal.
I'm beginning to like the sound of this.
I have to tell you, though.
They're not cheap.
Lucky I've got a car to sell.
Brilliant.
Oh, I do love it.
Got a delivery for you.
You got the paper out, without me? Oh, well, you know.
Only just.
You better hurry back soon, or Marty'll have a heart attack.
Where's my article? Did you bury it up on page 30? You always said if it isn't in the first five pages, it isn't read.
Ta-da.
Whoa.
Why Italy? Centre spread.
How would you feel about getting one of those out every week? Easy.
Good.
Alright, I'll leave you to it.
Well, you are looking much better, today.
I wouldn't want to be looking any worse.
(Sighs) Gavin, um Louisa thinks that my grief or shock, or whatever it is I'm experiencing, has manifested itself weirdly.
How do you mean 'weirdly'? She thinks that the feelings that I'm having are ones that are confused and not real.
And what do you think? I think that anybody that got involved with you twice would be certifiably insane.
(Speaks Italian) Right.
What does that mean? I think that I just said that you're the most beautiful woman in the whole wide world.
But I may have asked you what platform the train leaves from.
That'd be right.
I got it on my face.
Like that? It's still there.
Is it gone? Is that Minna? She's got some serious speed happening there.
How did she do that? That's incredible.
Go, Nan! Whoo, whoo! (Laughs) Your nan's awesome.
I know.
Mum, it's amazing.
You look so beautiful.
I can see the headlines - Killer Panther Captured By Marty Mason.
I can't even see what I'm looking for.
Do you even know what you're looking for? I think we're here for the night.
Hang on! It stalled because you didn't have the sense to get Nick to fix it yesterday morning.
This isn't Nick.
Can you both stop shouting at each other! Nick, you alright? It's alright.
I just tripped over.
That's all.
It's all good.
Oh.
I'm so sorry, Mum.
Oh.
(All scream) We're going to stay calm.
We're going to take a couple of shots.
And we're going to get the hell out of here.
Marty! What? Don't move.
Why? (Thump) Oh.
Wh-wh-what was that? Mum, Mum, wind up your window.

(Cries) I just came to say goodbye.
I don't want to break up, Holly.
Bye, Sean.
Um, I'm looking for Dan? Will I do? You're Dan? (Laughs) I've got it.
You got yours? How old do you reckon Dan is? I think he said he was 31.
Should we be worried? We should be worried.
Cheers.
Cheers.
What happens now? You know what this'll do to business.
Hang onto your hat, Marg.
As always! A great friend you always turn out to be.
(Puffs) (Woman speaks Italian) What's that, Paula? I would like a sandwich and an apple.
Please repeat.
(Speaks Italian) CD: (Speaks Italian) Do you mind if I breastfeed here? Please repeat.
(Speaks Italian) (CD continues in Italian) Have a good day.
Repeat.
(Speaks Italian) It's gonna be a great day, Paula.
I can feel it.
You're late.
Nice shot.
Thanks.
I think we should sell the hardware business.
Hang on.
Did I miss something? Come on, Gavin.
With that money Mega Tools have been offering, it's nearly double what we had it valued at.
Yeah but And it's not just about the money.
It's about closure.
Don't you think that we should What? Split.
Completely.
Properly.
I mean, obviously, emotionally it's all over.
But financially, we need to tidy things up a little bit.
We always said that we'd hold on to the hardware.
Yeah, for Jamie, I know.
But He's not here, anymore.
Hardware's my livelihood.
What? With the money from Mega Tools, you will be able to retire.
Retire? Why would I want to retire? I'm in the prime of my life.
I'm fitter and healthier than I've ever been.
Since when? Since I got a new bike.
I've got a new exercise regime.
And I'm learning Italian.
Why? Self-improvement.
A healthy mind and a healthy body.
Physically, mentally.

Rita's waiting for us.
What's she doing here? We're interviewing her for Viv's job, remember? What? No, no.
She's not right.
Yes, she is.
You haven't even talked to her yet.
She's been doing a night course in graphic design and she's keen and she's smart.
Wrong for this role.
No, no.
Vivien called.
She's extending her holiday for another month.
We'll cope.
No, we won't.
I can assist with writing.
Been meaning to talk to you.
I've been putting pen to paper, every day.
It's a habit of the creative.
Did you get that article that I emailed? Don't think so.
But do you get that the Echo needs a new administrator or we won't function properly? We'll be five.
(Sighs) (Police radio chatters) (Police siren wails) Nan.
Nan, you were meant to stop.
No, no.
I think he meant someone else.
Nan! Nan, stop! Oh.
I'll fix this.
They just want to see your licence.
I haven't got a licence.
What? Vivien's shoes aren't easy ones to fill.
She really held things together, around here.
She was like the linchpin.
Exactly.
She was in charge to oversee the paper got out each week, with the right layout.
And formatting.
Page numbering.
Vivien was very good with computers.
You comfortable with technology? This isn't a restaurant.
Guys.
I'm across all the basics.
Working with the latest version of Word, Excel, the Internet.
For accounting, I like to use NetSuite.
I love learning new programs, if you prefer something else.
I'm comfortable with PageMaker, InDesign or Quark for the copy and, obviously, Photoshop for the photographs.
Is that what Vivien used? You know, obviously, being a small paper, I'd expect to help out wherever I can.
Double-checking facts, proofreading, anything, anything at all.
Oh, the only thing I don't like is having nothing to do.
Well, that is what we love to hear, isn't it, Marty? Yeah.
You can get our lunch, then.
Ha.
Oop, sorry.
So, well, congratulations.
You're hired.
No.
We need to talk this through, go through the correct processes.
Can you start today? Mm-hmm.
Thanks.
Gavin, you won't be disappointed.
Thanks, Martin.
OK.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Where's my desk? Sean Smithwick? I'm sorry I'm late.
Nice to meet you.
How can I help? I hate violence but, unfortunately, I have to do this.
Ow.
You alright? Shit.
Driving without a licence is illegal.
You know this, because I've pulled you up about it before.
She told me she got her licence back.
Only that silly reverse parking thing.
I have to charge you now.
No, but You're lucky it stops there.
You also failed to comply with the directions of a police officer.
Not to mention failing to stop a vehicle when requested.
I did stop.
Eventually.
Sorry.
Could you excuse me a moment? Dan? Holly.
Hi.
Are you OK? A guy comes to see me, we shake hands, and he socks me one.
(Sighs) That's terrible.
He apologised before he did it.
He's a complete nut.
Oh.
You know him.
Apparently not.
You should come with a warning.
(Laughs) Oh, Louisa, I've laid out the front page.
Really? Mm-hm.
Already? If you don't like the artwork this size, I can easily adjust it, give it a different border.
No, that's, uh, that's incredible Rita.
Oh, can I get you a coffee? No, she has tea.
White with one.
Oh, OK.
Actually, I'd love a coffee for a change.
Thanks.
How lucky are we? Mm.
Rita.
I just want to say how well you're doing with the job, so far.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, I was a bit worried about us working together, given our history.
But I shouldn't have worried.
It feels normal.
I can't believe you were worried.
We went out ages ago.
I know.
Look, I'll always be grateful that you had the courage to tell it like it was.
Right.
I was so upset when we broke up.
But it's the best thing that could have happened.
Good.
Yeah, when I think about you and me, it's so silly.
We wouldn't have been growing old together - you're already there.
Yeah, well, it's nice to get that sorted.
Um Louisa.
Louisa.
What's up? My article.
Have you had a chance to read it? I've been a little bit busy.
Well, let me know when you have.
Yeah.
Actually, now Rita's here, you probably don't have to worry about it 'cause I can do the writing on my own.
We're good.
I know what you're thinking.
I've only done editorial stuff before.
But this is different.
It's a proper feature article.
It's a travel piece on Italy.
Yeah, I know.
I saw.
I want to start contributing more to the paper.
I feel like my writing's really coming on.
It's like the muse is with me all the time.
Here, right now.
I feel like it's flowing out of me, like a waterfall.
(Kettle whistles) You see.
I wouldn't have spoken poetically like that before.
No, you wouldn't.
Hey.
So, I've had a chat to the cop, and they're letting your mate off with a warning.
My mate.
Right.
That's quite a torch he's carrying.
He is.
I mean, he was.
He's just mixed up.
I can't believe he made an appointment.
Hope you're going to bill him.
Yeah, I should.
I'll see you round.
Thanks.
Look who I ran into.
I've been telling Sean the reason why I'm here is because of that, um that weasel who tried to snatch my purse in in the supermarket.
Yes.
They're dreadful these people who break the law, aren't they? Um, he's here reporting a stray dog he found.
A dog? To the police? So kind and thoughtful and non-violent of you.
I've told him we can give him a lift home.
What? I can catch the bus.
It's OK.
Good.
Because I'm late for work.
Oh no, you're dropping me off and Sean's on the way.
(Sighs) What the hell were you thinking? Who said I was thinking? I heard you two were going out.
So you punched him? Seemed like the right thing to do.
Do I need to warn every guy I go out with about you? There are more? He's too old for you, Hol.
The only reason you weren't charged is because Dan knows an idiot when he sees one.
And I'm not even going out with him.
You selling? Little bird told me I should.
Can't see myself working at a funeral parlour the rest of my life.
Oh, sounds like good advice, then.
She's a smart bird.
Thanks for the lift.
Bye.
Interesting boy, your Sean.
He's not mine.
And don't try to distract me from what happened this morning.
I expect you want me to promise never to do it again.
Since when can I tell you what to do? I AM coming to court tomorrow, though.
Oh, no, no.
I'll go by myself on the bus.
Well, you could.
But I'm coming, anyway.
Thank you, darling.
You know, you've got to admit, just for a minute there, you and me on the run from the police.
Just like Thelma and Louise.
Awesome.
Big churchy wedding didn't stop Davo from buggering off.
No offence to Father Samuel, but I've been there, done that.
Sorry I'm late.
Hi, Tamara.
Hi, Holly.
How's it going? Good.
Look at you! You're so big, now.
We're about to give Harry his very own official naming ceremony.
Your mum's coming along.
You should come.
Fantastic.
I'd love to.
Oh.
Marg, can I please have a word to you? Sure.
Oh.
Just be a minute.
Have you seen the kitchen? The leak's got worse.
I know.
I've called the roofing guy.
I'm just waiting on another quote.
The thing is, it hasn't rained for days.
Oh.
(Sighs) Ew.
There is sewerage dripping into my pub's kitchen! It's alright - I've brought my lunch.
Plumber said there were issues.
I put it off.
Want to know why? Des Bryce charges like a wounded bull.
I was waiting for money to come through from the sale of our hardware business.
So that's what this is about? I'm supposed to be running a celebrant's business and I don't have an office.
I thought we were talking about the hardware? I need to refurbish the pub, to have an office, and to do that, I need cash.
Do you need to be a celebrant? Isn't the pub enough? Why do you have to hang onto a hardware business? Isn't running a paper enough? Well, that's different.
Oh.
Well, it is! Oh.
This paper's a bloody community service.
I am setting up an appointment with Mega Tools and we are selling.
You are welcome to come along and watch me make a killing.
(Stammers) No buts! The hardware business is on the market and I am no longer part of your life.
'Why Italy? by Gavin Braithwaite.
Rome's cobbled back streets are as mysterious as an aged chianti.
The Italian ladies strut past with their ancient ARSENAL of beauty.
Emphasis on arsenal.
' He wrote that? Yes.
Well, you've got to give the guy credit for trying.
Yeah, but he wants my feedback.
He wants me to publish this but I can't.
Well, Louie, this is the moment where you have to stretch the truth a little.
And be very good at it.
No, I'm not gonna lie.
Sometimes a white lie is the only way.
A guy doesn't need a lot of words to get the picture.
Less is more.
Less is definitely more.
Tell him it was a great effort.
And if it isn't? Keep it up.
He'll appreciate your brevity.
'Keep it up.
' Is that bloke speak for give it up? No, that's bloke speak for average performance.
What's bloke speak for, 'Gav, stick to selling 'cause your writing' Oh no.
Hang on.
During his fourth grand final as a coach, Ron Barassi once told a player, 'You are not worth a cold crumpet.
' (Laughs) Help! Why didn't I think of that? Help.
Bye.
See you, Louie.
(Door closes) Hi.
Where are Marty and Rita? They're getting their lunch.
Ah, so, it's just you and me.
Did you read my article? Yep.
What did you think? Well, I thought it was a great effort.
And? And I think you should keep up the hard work.
And I might go get some lunch.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Is that it? No.
Uh There's a glimmer of hope and with a lot of hard work, you could really have something here.
Louisa, this isn't half-time at the football.
That represents a serious literary endeavour.
Yeah.
yeah.
Can I just ask, you know, this writing thing, does it come naturally? It's not forced.
No, no.
It flows.
It's like, well, like a waterfall.
Waterfall.
Yeah, I know.
You hated my writing.
Gavin.
I, I I just think 'hate' is a really strong word.
You know what's bugging me, here? You're beating round the bush.
I think it's wonderful you've got such a lovely hobby.
A hobby? Yeah.
The neighbourhood centre runs a monthly writer's group.
I'm not going to share my work with those idiots.
You asked for my opinion.
Well, give it to me! Go on - out with it! You think my writing sucks.
No, I don't think your writing sucks.
Yes, you do.
No.
Say it, Louisa.
No.
Say it.
Gavin, I don't think Say it, Louisa.
No! 'Gavin, your writing sucks!' Gavin, your writing's not worth a cold crumpet! (Both gasp) (Groans) Gav? Gav? (Groans) Gavin.
Oh! (Groans) What's going on? Get an ambulance.
Gavin, just breathe.
Gavin, Gavin! We're going to do an ECG.
Someone will be out to speak to you, shortly.
Yep.
Going to wheel you into surgery, now, OK? You don't need to worry.
Angioplasty is very common following a myocardial infarction.
Is that what I had? Sounds a bit rude.
(Laughs) Are you OK? Yep.
Oh, is that Gavin? Yeah, yeah.
It's going to be OK.
He's having a procedure.
What? What sort of procedure? For his heart.
They're feeding a tube up through his groin and then they feed a balloon through it.
Then they blow the little balloon thing up to keep the artery open, where it was blocked.
Right.
It's more technical than that.
But apparently it works really, really well.
And then they, uh, then they put something in called a stent.
With a spring.
That keeps the artery open.
Right.
Marg, are you OK? Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
People have stent surgery, all the time.
It's just plumbing, really.
Bill Clinton.
Oh my God - look at Bill, now.
Better than new.
The man behind the Secretary of State.
Oh.
Marg, are you OK? Marg? Marg! Nurse! Can I get a trolley over here, please? Marg, what's happening? Your friend's fine.
It was a panic attack.
Happens quite often.
Can we see her? Yeah, of course.
She's just up through here.
Marg.
It's me and Deb.
Hi.
Gav's operation went well.
He just needs some rest.
Just like you.
Night.
(Sighs) You look like you could do with some sleep.
Come on.
Drive you home.
(Sighs) How is he? Um, well, he's alright, I think.
The surgery seemed to go well.
He's not going to die? No, no, no.
He's, um He's very lucky.
It was a close shave.
It's so awful.
He was just starting to find himself.
I went through his files.
Gavin hasn't got much advertising sorted.
I'm happy to work through the night.
Yeah.
I think we should all go home.
Paper's due out in less than 48 hours.
I don't think there's going to be a paper this week.
(Loud music plays) (Men chatter) I'll have a beer, thanks, babe.
Sorry, we're closing.
Fellas, do we want to leave any time soon? ALL: No! Did you hear that? Well, it's not up to you.
I'm telling you it's closing time.
You know, you're pretty cute when you're angry.
(Sighs) Last drink.
You get it? Yeah.
(Sighs) Hey.
You normally knock off now.
I will.
Marg had to go, so I'm closing for her.
What are you doing here? Wanted to see if you wanted a drink.
Why would I want a drink with you? So I can apologise for punching out that guy.
The guy's name is Dan.
Yeah.
It wasn't cool, and, I promise, from now on, I won't punch anyone else you choose to go out with.
That's big of you, Sean.
Though, if it was up to me, you wouldn't go out with anyone else.
Well, it's not up to you.
Hey, bar chick.
Still thirsty, over here.
I told you - we're closing.
(All laugh) Are you OK with these guys? What are you going to do? Punch them? Sean, I'm fine.
Just please go.
Come on.
Go, go.
(All cheer) Cheers, boys.
(Men chatter) (Sighs) Hey.
Are you OK? It's late.
Yep.
(Sighs) It wasn't exactly the day I had in mind.
Sometimes they never are.
(Sighs) I nearly killed Gavin.
So much for telling the truth.
Come on.
Is that your boyfriend? No.
Do you have a boyfriend? No.
Would you like a boyfriend? You guys have to leave! Do you want me to call my boss? She owns the place and she won't be happy you're still here.
Yeah, go ahead.
Tell her we wouldn't be so pissed, if you served food in this joint.
Go on, call her.
Is she as cute as you? (All laugh) Good one.
We'll get a slab and go back to my place.
(All talk at once) MOBILE: Hi, you've reached Margaret Braithwaite's voicemail.
I'm not available, so leave a short message and I'll get back to you.
Not a very caring boss you've got there.
Leaving you alone with a few blokes like us.
(Laughs) Let's do it.
(All chant) Beer, beer! (Glass breaks) Oh! What are you doing back here? Need a drink for the road.
(All laugh) What the hell are you doing? (All cheer) Hey, relax.
Can someone tell this chick to relax? We've been trying.
Come on, we're going to a party.
I don't want to go to a party.
Something on? Exclusive thing.
Invite only.
We gotta celebrate.
Not every day you get let off an assault charge.
Get yourself into trouble? Nothing I couldn't handle.
Where's this party at? I can't tell you that.
Need a password to get in.
Chicks from the city got a place up here.
Come on, mate.
It's not your scene.
Why? You couldn't handle it.
These city girls, you wouldn't believe the stuff they get up to.
What sort of stuff? That is for me to know and you never to find out.
That's lame, man.
Sorry.
Can't help.
What if we promise not to tell anyone where we heard about it? One little address.
Come on.
You got a pen? (All laugh) Righto, fellas.
We're outta here.
Whoo! Goodnight, darling.
There's no party, is there? I gave them Greg's address.
Greg? As in the cop? Thanks.
Hey, mate.
You didn't tell us the password.
Second chance.
Cheers, mate.
(Door closes) (Car leaves) That's two words.
Can I give you a hand locking up? No, it's OK.
I'll clear some glasses.
OK.
There's some out there.
OK.
(Music starts to play) You remember when we first heard this together? I was sweeping up dead flowers from the back of the hearse.
And I left the handbrake off.
No.
We're not doing this.
Why? I told you it didn't mean anything.
It's not that.
I'm happy you went and pashed Xena, Warrior Princess.
You're young.
Maybe you should be kissing Xenas all around the world.
What? And it's not just you.
Maybe I should be going out with a million different guys, all hugely inappropriate, trying new things, climbing Mt Everest, getting weird parts of my body pierced.
I don't I don't get it.
We're too young.
We're holding each other back.
From life.

There are also other risk factors that are involved.
Louisa Atherton is not one of them.
Yeah.
But you may as well add me to the list.

You would have found ways of not publishing the article.
What? Why am I blaming myself? You told me to lie.
It's your bad karma.

That's what I love about you.
You're gorgeous and you don't lie.
OK.
Rita, can you get onto the Indigo Historical Society.
There's a woman there named Penny Lee.
She has a piece for me and she normally does a pretty good job.
Penny Lee.
Thanks.
Marty.
We need a few half pages by printing time.
Get onto those advertisers for me.
What, me? You've watched Gavin do it.
You'll be great.
I'll take this with me.
You said there wasn't going to be a paper.
Rita, when I'm gone, would you say why it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind.
Yes.
'Explain to Marty.
' What? Whatever the magistrate says, you won't argue with them.
You just smile and nod and do exactly as you're told.
OK? What else would I do? Minna Franklin.
According to these police reports, despite having been warned that driving without a licence is strictly illegal, you were caught a second time doing exactly this.
Is that correct? Yes.
Your Honour.
And what have you got to say for yourself? Only that I am profoundly sorry.
And that it won't happen again.
I will be reapplying for a licence and, until I receive one, I will not be driving a vehicle.
Of any kind.
Right.
I'm issuing you with a fine of $500.
Next.
Excuse me, Your Honour, if I could just ask, what would my money be used for? I'm sorry? I'm very happy to pay the fine.
There's a number of public works I'm very comfortable contributing to but there are other things which I couldn't, in all conscience, support.
For example, an ugly freeway extension.
I mean, that really wouldn't do.
Having been caught driving illegally on two occasions, you now want to tell the court how it should spend your fine? Yes, that's right.
Obviously, I need to make it clearer to you that this court does not condone your behaviour, nor does it appreciate time wasters.
In addition to the fine, you'll be unable to apply for a new licence for a minimum of two years.
Next.
Go on, say it.
Your nan's a noodle.
You are a noodle.
But she was one mean magistrate.
How I am going to cope for two years if I can't drive a car? Lucky you've got me.
Darling, if you're still here in two years driving me round I will be very depressed.
Well, I'm here, now.
So, where to? Oh, um, shops.
She hasn't left his side all night.
It's beautiful to find a husband and wife still so devoted.
Yep.
They're no ordinary couple.
(Mumbles) The colour's come back into his face.
Did you notice? Yeah, he looks a lot better.
Well, the nurse says you can go home.
Oh, I, um I'd prefer to stay.
Hey, I can look after him if you want to freshen up.
OK.
Well, before I forget, he'll probably want this.
Oh, hi.
Rita.
Everything's OK in the office.
I just wanted to see how he's doing.
Oh.
Yeah, he's there.
There's no visitors.
He needs his rest.
I'll just be a minute.
Just give him these.
OK, I'll take them.
I'll pop my head in.
That's all.
He needs his sleep.
Well, I'll just wait, then.
See how awful this is.
Taking your nan shopping.
Makes me feel ancient.
You'll have to think of another means of transport, then.
Such as? A bike.
What happens if a bag of bones like me falls off a bike? Then you get back on again.
Oh, no.
Come on.
Have you got the shopping list? Thank you.
Oh, what's this? Sean - pros and cons.
That's not it.
Uh-uh.
Cons - only boy I've ever seriously dated.
Immature.
Too young.
You can't count those two as cons.
They're basically the same thing.
I didn't.
Nan, give it back.
Pros Oh! Spoilsport.
We're just getting to the interesting part.
(Laughs) They're lovely.
It's a shame Gavin's allergic to lilies.
One Valentine's Day, he filled my whole room up with them.
That's what you do when you're having a midlife crisis.
Maybe it wasn't the flowers that he was allergic to.
Girls, can we just keep it down.
It's really sweet of you to come by, but Gavin could be asleep for hours.
There must be something you have to do at work.
We'll tell Gavin you came by, won't we? Look, it's my fault he's lying in there.
Will you just let me apologise! Look, I said something to him before he collapsed about how old he was.
I didn't mean for it to come out like that, but There is nothing going on between us.
I just want to apologise.
How long were you two together? Five minutes? Do you honestly think something that small could have such a big impact on his life? I caused this to happen.
I've been hassling him to sell the hardware business.
It was the first thing we ever owned.
I told him we had to sever all ties and move on.
Maybe he wasn't ready for that.
I marched into his office and I abused him.
It was me! The only thing he was worried about was this article about Italy and I told him his writing sucks and then he collapsed on the floor.
Alright? Mr Braithwaite's awake.
He's asking for a shave.
He's not up to it himself.
I'm more than happy to do it but usually family members like to.
Mrs Braithwaite? Yes, yes.
Of course.
Why are you doing this? Nurse says you're not able to shave yourself yet.
Oh.
You know what they say about your life flashing before your eyes? It's true.
Not everything.
Just the big ticket events.
Coming towards you.
You were in nearly every one.
(Laughs) The good ones or the bad ones? We've seen 'em all, you and I.
I knew I needed to start looking after my health.
Cut back the drinking.
Start getting fit.
Left it all a bit late.
No way.
It's never too late.
You think so? Why Italy? Going out to get razors.
These hospital ones are useless.
Mrs Braithwaite, I've left some post-operative care information by his bed.
The cardiologist will be making an appointment.
Janey, he likes his golf.
Don't worry.
He'll be teeing off in no time.
Mrs Braithwaite.
Mm.
If I didn't know any better, I'd say you liked that.
Fine time for the pub's kitchen to be down.
I bet there's no food for Gavin at his place.
Wonder where his car is? Still at the office.
I can ask Nick to bring it over.
(Sighs) Where was I? Razors.
Hey.
They can wait.
Marg, listen, you need to look after yourself, alright? Go home.
Get some sleep.
You're supposed to be doing Harry's naming ceremony for Tamara this afternoon, right? Gavin's had a heart attack.
But you had a panic attack.
When you broke up with him, it was a very stressful time, but this situation's made it so much more confusing.
But it isn't real.
HE is my husband.
Marg, he's not your husband.
Fine.
OK.
As a good professional, this afternoon, I will go and perform Harry's naming ceremony.
But as a good ex-wife, I'm now going to get Gavin some razors.
Hi.
Oh, let me.
I'll get that.
I, um Well.
Thanks.
So, how are you? Good.
I'm so sorry I said those things about your article.
I put a lot of work into that.
But you made me say it.
I didn't.
You did.
I, um I did make a couple of little suggestions.
I bet I know.
The angels and the cheese.
No, Gav, there were 29 references to voluptuous women.
You asked why Italy.
What I did is I just tried to cut back the torrent Waterfall.
Waterfall of ideas.
Just a little bit.
Mm.
Read it to me.
What? Now? How else am I going to improve? (Baby cries) What a magical garden you have, Harry.
We've got your brother and sister to thank for that, but six months ago, Luke wouldn't say boo and now we can hardly hold him back.
How far this family has come.
And it hasn't always been easy, especially for Tamara, who's been doing it on her own.
But I guess that this is where a village community comes in.
You're a lucky boy.
Because you've got a whole team of support here in Rainbow's End.
We might drive you nuts, occasionally.
But we always have your best interests at heart.
And now, before your mother gets too teary, I think we should name you.
This candle represents your inner light.
Your beautiful soul.
I officially name you Jamie Harry.
Harry Thomas Denning.
And now your mother, brother and your sister should kiss you.
(Applause) (Guests chatter) (Kids laugh and call out) That was, well, it was beautiful.
A naming ceremony and I get his name wrong.
I don't think he noticed.
You saw Jamie back there, didn't you? When you looked at Harry.
You saw your son.
I've been thinking so much about him, lately.
Is it because of you and Gavin? I do wonder that if Jamie hadn't died (Sighs) Something like that puts such an intense strain on a marriage.
Do you think you might have survived? Maybe.
Now, this thing with Gavin, it's like .
.
like we'd been sent a second chance or something.
Marg, do you want to get back together? I have no idea.
No idea.
I know I miss him.
(Sighs) I miss my boys.
My boys.
Hey.
Hey.
I've been thinking about what you said.
We're not holding each other back.
That's not how it is for me.
You've opened my world .
.
to a million different things I never would have thought about before I met you.
Like what? Big things.
Like making me realise how much I love my art.
How I should sell the business and do what I feel passionate about.
And little things.
New gelato flavours.
I'd still be eating chocolate and vanilla for the rest of my life, if it wasn't for you.
I'm serious.
And I am completely open to piercing any part of my body, if you reckon that'll broaden our horizons.
I love you, Hol.
And I will never take you for granted, again.
Hi.
Can I help you there? Yes.
I'd like to buy a bicycle.
Sure.
Did you have a type of bike in mind? Um, a silver one.
Oh, what about this one? That's an electric bike.
It's got a small motor here in the front wheel.
A motor? Yep.
I like motors.
And that throttle mode there can put the motor on full power, and you don't have to pedal.
I'm beginning to like the sound of this.
I have to tell you, though.
They're not cheap.
Lucky I've got a car to sell.
Brilliant.
Oh, I do love it.
Got a delivery for you.
You got the paper out, without me? Oh, well, you know.
Only just.
You better hurry back soon, or Marty'll have a heart attack.
Where's my article? Did you bury it up on page 30? You always said if it isn't in the first five pages, it isn't read.
Ta-da.
Whoa.
Why Italy? Centre spread.
How would you feel about getting one of those out every week? Easy.
Good.
Alright, I'll leave you to it.
Well, you are looking much better, today.
I wouldn't want to be looking any worse.
(Sighs) Gavin, um Louisa thinks that my grief or shock, or whatever it is I'm experiencing, has manifested itself weirdly.
How do you mean 'weirdly'? She thinks that the feelings that I'm having are ones that are confused and not real.
And what do you think? I think that anybody that got involved with you twice would be certifiably insane.
(Speaks Italian) Right.
What does that mean? I think that I just said that you're the most beautiful woman in the whole wide world.
But I may have asked you what platform the train leaves from.
That'd be right.
I got it on my face.
Like that? It's still there.
Is it gone? Is that Minna? She's got some serious speed happening there.
How did she do that? That's incredible.
Go, Nan! Whoo, whoo! (Laughs) Your nan's awesome.
I know.
Mum, it's amazing.
You look so beautiful.
I can see the headlines - Killer Panther Captured By Marty Mason.
I can't even see what I'm looking for.
Do you even know what you're looking for? I think we're here for the night.
Hang on! It stalled because you didn't have the sense to get Nick to fix it yesterday morning.
This isn't Nick.
Can you both stop shouting at each other! Nick, you alright? It's alright.
I just tripped over.
That's all.
It's all good.
Oh.
I'm so sorry, Mum.
Oh.
(All scream) We're going to stay calm.
We're going to take a couple of shots.
And we're going to get the hell out of here.
Marty! What? Don't move.
Why? (Thump) Oh.
Wh-wh-what was that? Mum, Mum, wind up your window.
(All scream) £ I lay down in a bed of roses £ I woke up lying on a bed of nails £ It's the oldest of tales £ Lose the wind £ From your sails £ I lay down in a bed of roses £ And I woke up lying on a bed of nails £ Oh £ I lay down in a bed of roses £ And I woke up lying on a bed of nails £ And I lay down in a bed of roses £ And I woke up lying on a bed of nails.
