Packed to the Rafters (2008) s04e14 Episode Script
Trust Issues
BEN: I've always thought of myself as a pretty trusting sort of guy and by that, I don't mean gullible.
Just someone who's willing to go with the flow.
Who is it? Emma? Come on.
Who is it? Hey.
Don't do that! It's just me.
Why didn't you say something? I was just mucking around.
Sorry! It's OK.
I just It's OK.
Don't you trust me? Of course I do.
Maybe I don't like surprises.
Or maybe she was right.
I 'd lost my trust in things.
And it wasn't going to be easy to get it back.
Red jacket just ordered a third cocktail.
Are you serious? Mm-hm.
What about wig man? Still on the herbal tea.
They so won't last.
Hey, what are you up to this weekend? Haven't got a lot planned.
Why? I'm going to a party tomorrow night if you want to come.
It'll be a whole lot of people from my course.
You can talk mulch and tomato plants all night.
Wow.
Those landscape gardeners really know how to let their hair down.
So, you're going out tomorrow night? Does this mean I get the house to myself? Why, Mum? What are you planning? Nothing.
Hmm.
I've met someone.
But at the moment, it's just friends.
Where did you meet him? You know what? I mightjust go.
Around.
Mmm? So, I thought if you're going out tomorrow night, then I might ask Phil over for dinner.
Is that OK'? I want you to be OK with it.
I'm fine, Mum.
Honestly.
DAVE: If I wanna give the family some decent financial security, then it's now or never.
I want to expand the business, I want us to be able to take on the bigger jobs that we otherwise might have to turn down.
Oh, yeah.
Great.
Yeah, well, yeah, it is - in theory.
But, Nathan, look, I know this is a big ask.
I know you've just started up your own business but it's not exactly going gang busters yet either.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! I know it doesn't look like it but this is work.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
Sure.
But still What exactly are we talking about here? Would you consider putting things on hold and coming back to work for us'? All I'm asking is for a short-term commitment.
Six months tops.
Wow.
Um, OK.
But a commitment.
Full-time.
OK.
Erwow.
Um I don't need an answer right now.
You just think about it and get back to me.
You know'? Honestly.
Mmm.
Nono pressure.
âOh, no pressure, though.
Just the financial future of our entire family.
" It's not like his business is going that well.
So you keep saying.
But if he needs help, he comes to us - not the other way round.
Look, if you need help with the business, I'm ready, willing and able.
No! It's not necessary, Dad! No-one in this family should feel obliged.
And I made that very clear.
If Nathan wants to say no, he can.
What am I supposed to say? âSorry, Dad, I'm gonna stand by and watch your dreams go up in smoke.
" That's tough.
Are you done with that'? Yes.
Eat.
Mmm.
Maybe it's just because you're the one that used to work there.
What about my business? Do both.
No, you can't build up two businesses at once.
He doesn't trust me.
He thinks I'll fall flat on my face and need bailing out.
But look at this! Orders.
They came in today.
I mean, yeah, things are a bit slow but they're not dead.
(LAUG Ah! HS) So, you two do still live here.
About to send out a search party.
I thought you'd be locked in your room all day.
We're just having a holiday at home.
Yeah, just enjoying each other's company.
Not wishing for Fiji one little bit.
(CH UCKLES) (SQUEALS) Seriously, what are they on?! Ooh, how good is being married? Shh! Oh, they can't hear me.
Alright, you two, what's the deal? What do you mean, Ben? What's what deal? One minute you're both stressed out of your minds about the wedding And now it's like you've completely forgotten about it.
Oh, well, we're just not letting it get to us anymore.
Yeah.
Mmm.
What you put out into the world is what you get back, so if we're not stressed, no-one else will be.
Yeah, but this is Carbo's mum we're talking about.
FEET-FA: We're gonna have to tell them.
We can't keep this up forever.
We can try.
I hate lying to everybody.
I'm not loving it but when we tell people, all hell will break loose.
(GASPS) Carbo, your ring! Oh! You wore it outside the room! I'm sorry.
I forgot.
You have to be more careful.
They cannot find out like that.
OK, OK.
But, look, it's not as if we're never going to make the big announcement but, you know, just for now, why can't we just enjoy the little secret a little bit longer? Mrs Karandonis.
OK'? (SQUEALS) So, er, I've got a proposition for you.
Here we go.
Nathan told me about the talk you guys had and it got me thinking.
You're trying to build a business and I've got heaps of money I don't know what to do with.
Ben, no.
Take Mel's insurance money as capital investment.
No! Just call it a low-interest loan.
Or a no-interest loan even.
It's your money, Ben.
Yeah, it's my money.
Exactly.
I want to put it to good use.
Pay me back when you can.
Until then, it's a weight off because I don't have to think about using it.
We've already been to the bank to apply for a business loan, alright? Are their rates better? We're not taking your money but thanks for the offer.
Ben, you've got to invest it in your own future.
That's what Mel would've wanted.
Bathroom's free.
Mine.
Hey! Be my guest.
Er, excuse me.
You know, you can look at me.
Er You can.
You can look at me.
You weren't having so much trouble the other night.
This is just a bit weird for me, you know'? OK.
Well, I'm looking for a house so you don't need to worry.
I'll be out of your hair soon enough.
Hey, Bree.
Ah! OK, so, you get to choose the movie.
I'll pick where we eat lunch.
Um We've got the day off.
Oh.
Yeah.
But I'm looking for a house today so it's not really a day off.
That's cool.
I'll come with you, give you a second opinion.
I'm gonna ride my bike so unless you want to sit on the handlebars (CHUCKLES) Alright, we can have lunch when you get back.
The last inspection's at 2:00, so Late lunch.
You've got to eat.
OK.
Yeah.
Cool.
Cool.
Yes.
Ah! He's like a puppy dog, planning his day around you.
We're just mates.
Oh, come on.
Are you blind?! No.
I get that vibe too, I do.
A bit.
I don't want you to lead him on.
Alright? Yeah, 'cause that's what I've been doing! I don't want him to get hurt.
Ah, you don't get to freeze me out and then tell me who I can have lunch with! Nothing's happened with Alex and if it does, I'll set him straight.
Can you trust me with that much? OK, so, who is he? What's the story? His name is Phil and he's lovely.
Right.
Where'd you meet? Donna, if it's on the internet, that's fine.
That's how everyone's doing it these days.
Actually, it was at my support group.
Oh! I'm not sure quite so many people are doing that.
I joined to talk about (CLEARS THROAT) .
.
you know.
Anyway, Phil was in the group too.
He's got OCD as well.
Oh! Actually, I think I might just, um Oh, no, it's alright.
Stay.
Alright.
What was I saying? Phil.
Oh, yes.
At group.
So, Emma's going out tonight and I've invited Phil around for dinner.
Right.
I thought a home-cooked meal might be a nice relaxed way to go.
You don't think he'll get the wrong idea, though, do you? About inviting him to my place? Well, if he did, um, is that such a bad thing? Ignore him.
He's not even here.
I'm a bit nervous.
I don't remember what to do on a date.
Oh, no, no, no, no, you'll be fine! Just relax and have a lovely meal together.
I've got a really good feeling about this.
G'day, Ben.
Hey.
Oh, look at this poor little fellow.
He needs a drink.
I know how he feels.
Donna said you were on a break.
About bloody time.
We're supposed to use the staff room.
Oh, don't be such a nervous Nelly.
No-one cares.
So, um, have you thought any more about this nightclub thing? Nah.
I mean, yeah, I have.
I've thought about it but I don't know if it's what I want to do, like, if it's the right thing to do with the money.
Oh, the thing is, I heard you talking to your parents last night, you know, offering them a loan.
Didn't that go well? And, look, I don't want to seem like I'm ramming this down your throat but as far as I can see, this nightclub, it's a great opportunity.
We put our money in, get a decent return, everyone's a winner - me, you and your family.
When you put it like that, it sounds so easy.
Well, sometimes it is.
No, I reckon it will be fine.
I trust my mate.
BEN: There was that word again.
But just how trusting was I ready to be? So, er, what do you think of Tom? What's your impression? Um, I like him.
Although, I think he tried to finish off a customer's French fries the other day.
Yeah, but would you trust him? He's been in prison, right? Yeah, he does have a criminal record.
Then it depends.
On what? On what I'm being asked to trust him for.
If I was falling off a cliff and Tom grabbed my arm, would I trust him to hang on? Absolutely.
But'? But What do I know'? He's your grandfather.
He seems nice enough.
Why are you asking anyway'? No reason.
So, do you think they let him keep his prison gear? Do I even want to know why you're interested? Just thought it might be inspiration for the party tonight.
For you, I mean.
I've already got my costume sorted.
What? I think I kind of forgot to mention - the party, there's a theme.
No way.
Saints and sinners.
How about I think about it? That means you're gonna back out! Yes.
Yes, it does.
That's why I'm gonna pick you up in a taxi.
It's out of your way.
And why I'm gonna be very annoyed if you're not in costume, ready to go.
BREE: Seriously, do you know how many cockroaches I've seen today'? And that's just the real estate agents.
Wow.
Mmm, sit down.
Um, so, I was in the deli and I didn't know what you'd feel like.
A cheese sambo would've done it.
I mean, it looks great.
Thank you.
So, you didn't find a place? Nah.
I don't know.
I'll justI'll keep looking.
Or just stay here? Yeah, 'cause the mattress in the sunroom is the answer to all my dreams.
Well, you can move into my room if you wanted.
Alex I mean, we're friends, right? And that's cool but that's all it's ever gonna be.
(GRUNTS) I was joking.
As if I'm gonna give up my room for you.
OK.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
I stuffed that up.
Yeah, you got that right.
Um, can we just pretend I never opened my big mouth'? I already have.
Cool.
Do you want a drink? Yeah.
Oh, what's that'? It's from your cousin Voula.
She's finished my wedding dress.
Already.
Can I have a look? Oh, it's bad luck.
Not when you're already married! Exactly! We're already married and I've got this and Voula thinks I'm gonna be wearing it and so do your parents and so does everybody else.
Carbo, what have we done? Look, it's OK.
It really is.
You know, we're gonna tell them, we're just taking our time getting around to it.
Right, so after all the work that Voula's put into this and all the arrangements and the planning and all the rest of it, we're just gonna tell everyone it's been for nothing.
I never said it was a conversation I was looking forward to but I'm sure people will understand.
Huh.
You know, eventually.
In 2O years maybe.
NATHAN: OK, I'm outta here.
Do you guys need anything? Whoa! What's in the box? Er, it's my wedding dress.
Don't let Carbo see.
It's bad luck.
So I've heard.
I'm really looking forward to this wedding.
We haven't had a good party in ages.
What? Oh, no, I know your engagement party was awesome.
I justl missed it.
Well, forget I said anything.
Actually, just forget I was here.
We have got to start telling people.
The longer we leave this, the worse it gets.
OK? OK.
So, we'll start with Ben and Nathan.
We can trust them.
Yeah, we'll tell them tonight.
OK.
It'll be like the practice run for everyone else.
Yeah.
You know, with less yelling.
Yeah.
Ooh, Nathan, these just came out of the oven and I know they're your favourite.
Oh! But I can see you're going out so That doesn't mean I'm giving these back.
No, no, you don't have to.
And even if you eat them, you still don't need to feel obliged.
If you don't want to work for us, please don't feel you have to.
Yeah, well, I was kind of annoyed, I have to admit.
But at the same time, I do feel a bit guilty.
You and Dad have always helped me out.
Yeah, and you guys help out when you can.
How else would you get through all the food if Ben didn't help? Er, no, no, Ben does help.
You know he offered us some money.
What? He did? Mmm.
Yeah.
We said no, of course.
I don't want to impose on you kids like that.
So, no strings attached.
Like the biscuits.
Exactly.
However, if you do mention this conversation to your father, I will have to kill you.
Enjoy.
(BUZZES) Ah! How's Nathan? Um, ooh, I don't know.
Why? Oh, no reason.
But if you were to cross paths, I suppose you'd tell him that he was under no pressure to come back to work here.
Or would that never come up? I just wanted to make sure that he knew it was OK to say no.
I told him that myself, that the decision was totally his own.
BEN: Alright.
Alright, I need your help.
Serious help.
And no, that's not a revelation.
Why? What's wrong'? I'm going to a fancy dress party in two hours.
Saints and sinners.
What do I wear? I don't know.
But your first mistake was saying yes.
I told Emma I don't do dress-up! Oh, well, you used to.
Remember your Batman costume? Yeah, Mum, I was three.
It's OK to dress up when you're three.
I just don't want to rock up to the party looking like a complete idiot.
No dramas.
A mate I used to play cricket with goes for the Saints.
You know, St Kilda football team? I'll ask if you can borrow his jersey.
Dad, that is seriously the worst suggestion ever.
What do you think? (CH UCKLES) Oh, mate! Hey! What? You're gonna wear a pair of shorts like that, get used to it.
Not from my brother, I won't.
Mum told me you offered to lend them some money for the business.
Yeah, they said no.
Well, I'm just saying, it's nice that you offered.
(DOORBELL CHIMES) I'll grab it.
If Dad's serious about this, I wanna help him get it off the ground.
Ooh! Hey.
Hey! Enough with the 'hey'.
Oh, hey.
Ooh! What are you supposed to be'? Saint or sinner? I think it's a little bit of both.
What about the costume? Er, same answer, funnily enough.
Check you out! Very inventive! Or actually not at all.
It was the best I could do at short notice.
And what about this? Is this your costume? Yes, Ben, I'm going as a flasher.
Don't say it like it's a bad thing.
All will be revealed, but not yet.
Come on.
The taxi's waiting.
Let's go.
OK.
See ya, GUYS- ALL: Bye.
Have fun! (DOORBELL RINGS) Oh, Julie, the whole thing is a complete disaster! Oh! The oven was working when I put it in but something fritzed.
It's not even half-cooked.
Thank goodness Phil is running late.
I promised him a roast with all the trimmings but it's not half-cooked.
Do you mind if I use your oven? No! No, of course you can.
It's a big piece of meat, though.
It might take a while.
Well, it's a good thing the oven's pre-heated.
Yes.
Oh, you're making dinner! Well, it's dinnertime.
(CHUCKLES AWK\NARDLY) Look, it's alright, Julie.
No, no, no.
No! We weren't even hungry yet.
Were we'? We can wait.
So, can I get you a drink? No, thank you.
I'm fine.
I am.
Right, so, how are we doing with the lasagne? Oh, Donna, I thought tonight was your big date.
It is.
There's gonna be a bit of a delay with dinner, Dad.
Oh.
Oh, this isn't my OCD, really it's not.
It's just me being nervous.
Hmm.
('CLAP YOUR HANDS' BY SIA PLAYS) Ooh, that's Jackie.
It's her party.
I'll introduce you.
Ta-da! I'm a saint.
Because I'm a nurse.
You know, and part sinner too because of fetish and sin.
Well, they both go hand in hand, don't they? Are you OK'? BEN: Surely I trusted her enough to tell her about Mel.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
Of course.
Let's sort these out.
Come on.
Donna, if you're doing what I think you're doing, there is no need! (WATER RUNS) Don't make me come in there.
You're right.
You're right.
Yes, of course I'm right.
It's all gonna be fine.
Mm-hm.
Look, er, I might leave you to it.
What? You're off'? Yeah, I thought I'd go down the Boat Club, maybe have a counter meal.
See ya.
Mm-hm.
See ya, Ted.
Have a nice night.
How much longer do you think? I told Phil to ring me when he was on his way.
Just ring him and tell him to meet us here.
Oh, I can't do that.
You're already cooking our dinner for us.
We can't gatecrash your night entirely.
Oh, maybe the whole thing was doomed from the start.
(MOBILE PHONE RINGS) Oh, I bet that's him.
I bet that's Phil.
He's ringing to cancel.
Donna We've gone to all this trouble and he's not even gonna show up.
(CONTINUES RINGING) Hi.
Donna's phone.
Yeah, Phil, is it'? Yeah.
Here she is.
Hello, Phil.
Oh, that's terrible.
No, no.
Now, look, let's just keep calm and take it one step at a time.
What did they teach us in class? (SINGS) Most people I know Think that I'm crazy And I know at times I act a little hasty Well, that's good, Phil.
Good.
Now, I'm at Julie's.
It's 17 Randall Street.
Alright? OK.
See you soon.
He's having a spot of trouble getting out of the house.
Ah.
Keeps having to go back to make sure he turned the iron off.
So, what was the song about? Well, they tell us in group to try to focus on something else when panic grips.
Ah.
Sing a song, do whatever it takes.
Just don't go back to the house to check.
Unless the fire brigade call and say the place is in ashes.
What if Phil did leave the iron on and the house does burn down and he didn't check because I told him not to? Well, I suppose you'd be hard pressed to have a second date.
Dave! It's gonna be fine.
Really.
It'll be fine.
(POP MUSIC PLAYS LOUDLY) I warn you right now, it smells kind of lethal.
Er, I think I'll pass.
You really don't trust me, do you? It's not so much that as respect for my liver.
Oh! So, um, is he here? Who'? The guy from your course.
Oh, right! Um.
.
.
there isn't anyone.
I just made that up to get Retta off the scent.
Emma! Hey! Hey! Wow.
And nice work, by the way.
You're the new boyfriend, I take it.
Um, no.
Sarah, this is Ben.
A friend of mine.
We work together.
Well, you're cute.
That's all I'm saying.
She should make a move.
Oh, my God.
Check out what Blackmore's wearing.
Hey, Justin, you do know it's saints or sinners.
What's with the octopus outfit? I think what we have there is a perfect example of why the punch should be avoided at all costs.
I told you.
Sorry about the boyfriend thing.
Ah, it's OK.
Clearly it's the uniform that gave her the wrong idea.
I guess we've all heard about naughty nurses, right? (DOORBELL RINGS) Ooh.
That'll be him.
I'll get that.
Donna Do I look alright? Oh, you look perfect.
Ah, don't.
Do you want to start singing the song? No.
DAVE: Just come through here, yeah.
There she is.
Hi.
I'm really sorry I'm late.
Don't you apologise.
It was my oven that broke down.
Oh, Phil.
I'm sorry.
This is Julie and Dave.
Hello.
Hi, Phil.
Nice to meet you.
And we met at the door.
They kindly let me invade their kitchen.
Yes.
Well, the lamb's almost ready so, er, would you like a drink while you're waiting? Yeah, would you like a beer? Er, sure.
Yeah.
Take a seat.
I'll just grab one.
Is it OK like this? Er, a bottle's fine.
Thanks.
Great.
There you go.
Yeah, well (TAPS BOTFLE THREE TIMES) Yeah, mate? Phil collects things.
Did he tell you? Ah.
Teaspoons and clocks.
Wow! Really? (TAPS BOTFLE THREE TIMES) (HUMS 'CRAZY' BY BILLY THORPE) No, Phil.
The iron is not on.
I'm sure you didn't leave it on.
I can't remember.
I know I turned it off but I can't remember after that.
Hey, er, when you turn the iron off, take a photograph with your phone.
Then you've got proof.
You'll have the date, the time and everything.
(SINGS) Most people I know Think I'm crazy I'm just trying to help.
Right, well, I think it's time that Phil and I were on our way.
Are you sure? That tray's very hot.
We don't want to add third-degree burns to the mix.
I'll put it on the floor and drive very slowly.
Phil, shall we head off'? Oh, sure.
(TAPS BOTTLE THREE TIMES) JULIE: (WHISPERS) Good luck.
DONNA: Thanks so much.
See you, Phil.
Bye, Phil.
Bye.
Thanks.
I'll just That OK.
Ah, well .
.
.
that looks quite promising.
(TAPS GLASS THREE TIMES) (DANCE MUSIC PLAYS LOUDLY) Hey! I wondered where you got to.
I just needed some fresh air.
It's not about what my friend said, is it? About you being my new boyfriend? I know that must be weird.
Hey, I'm a medical professional.
I know what I'm talking about.
Melissa, my wife, she was a nurse.
Oh, Ben, I am so sorry.
It's OK.
I didn't know.
I know you didn't.
Honestly, I'm not saying it to make you feel bad.
I'll go and change.
Nah, nah, nah.
EmmaEmma, it's OK.
Yeah, I've made 15 million jokes about nurses tonight.
It really wasn't that many.
But you were counting.
Look, if I fell apart every time I saw a nurse's uniform or heard the name Melissa, I'd be a basket case by now.
And some days, maybe it's not far off but I'm trying my best.
You never talk about her at all.
And that's cool, of course it is.
You know, if you don't want to, it's up to you.
But I'm sure she was a really amazing person.
She was too good to be true.
That's what I thought when I first met her.
Like, âHow does someone like you even exist?" Love at first sight, in other words.
Yeah.
Well, for me, anyway.
Not for her.
She made me work pretty hard, I've gotta say.
Sorry.
No.
Really, it's fine.
So, what did she look like'? I've got a photo.
Yeah? BEN: I don't know what surprised me more - that I could trust Emma or that I could trust myself to talk about it She's gorgeous.
"And that it felt good.
(DOOR OPENS) Hey, can I talk to you? Yeah.
It's about Bree.
What about her? I like her.
'Like' like her.
Aha.
But she told me today she just wanted to be friends.
That's never easy to hear.
It sucks.
Maybe she just needs more time.
Look, if she's already told you Yeah, but she was nice.
Yeah, but stillstill, I don't think she's the type of girl who would lie about that.
But shemight not like me now but if I give it more time Yeah, mate (SIGHS) sometimes these things, they don't work out the way you want them to.
Why am I even asking you? Like you're some sort of expert.
No, I'm not gonna give up.
I think she just has to get to know me.
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYS LOUDLY) If you did a runner, I wouldn't have blamed you.
What do you mean? I've just talked your ear off about my wife.
I'm glad you told me.
I am.
But I hope you didn't feel like I was, you know, pushing you.
No.
I've been scared to talk about her.
You know, like, I didn't think I could get the words out.
But it doesn't have to be like that.
I can talk about her and I can remember her and it can be a good thing.
(MUSIC GETS LOU DER) Someone likes it loud.
You reckon? Want to dance? Why not'? Hey.
Er listen, what happened between us was a one-off.
It's not gonna happen again.
So you're not here for a two-off? I mean it.
OK.
Yeah.
If that's how you want to play it.
I'm glad you came tonight.
I'm glad you forced me to.
I think I turned into a bit of a hermit for a while there.
After the accident.
You know, like, time stood still or something.
I didn't want to go out.
I felt guilty about having fun.
It's like I didn't want to keep feeling so bad but I didn't want to move forward efiher because by moving forward, I was moving away from her.
I haven't even scattered her ashes yet.
I keep putting it off.
I know it's something I've got to do.
It's just that there's a part of me that feels like it's so final.
You know'? (TELEVISION PLAYS) (MUTES TELEVISION) What was Emma hiding underneath her trench coat'? In terms of costume, that is.
Ah, Emma came 8S a HLIFSE.
Ah, it's fine.
Honestly.
In fact, it's pretty funny when you think about it.
OK, so, it's not hilarious.
You know what, it was just good to be out, being an idiot in a pair of tiny shorts.
L,um I ended up telling her about Mel and how I was feeling.
And, erand I'm glad for it.
I think it's really important to be honest with each other.
Especially your friends.
I think it's really important that you can trust your friends with sensitive information, no matter how scared you might be of telling them.
And so does Carbo.
Don't you, honey'? Yeah.
Yeah.
'Cause, um, it's funny you brought it up, Benno.
'Cause we've got something we'd like to say.
(PHONE RINGS) Just It can wait.
(PHONE RINGS) It's Mum.
Call her back.
Hi, Mum.
How are ya'? Yeah, it is coming soon.
What? Er, yeah.
I mean, that sounds like a great deal.
OK.
We are looking forward to seeing you on our big day too.
Really? OK.
We'll, umwe'll see you soon.
Bye.
Mum's bought plane tickets to the wedding.
Non-refundable.
Oh.
Yeah.
And she's bought a hat.
A hat'? Remember the hat she bought for my sister's wedding? How could I forget that hat? Yeah.
She is that excited.
She won't have to wait long.
Big day will be here before we know it.
Yes.
Hey, are, what was the announcement you wanted to make? Er, it was, um Toilet paper.
Yes.
We need toilet paper and someone needs to put that on the shopping list.
How did we think we could get away with it? How did we think we could say, âSorry, change of plans.
âNo more wedding"? We didn't want the fuss, OK'? We wanted to avoid all that.
I know.
I know.
And lwouldn't change our day for anything.
It was perfect.
But it has to stay our secret.
If we tell people, they are never gonna forgive us.
What are you saying? We have to go through with the wedding.
We have to.
What'?! Everything we're trying to avoid? Can you ever see your mother getting over the disappointment? No.
So, it's what we have to do.
Is it even legal? Are you allowed to marry the same person twice? I don't know.
I don't know, maybe we just have to fudge the paperwork or something.
Oh, my God.
Listen to me.
I'm forging legal documents.
We're still telling Ben and Nathan? No! No, no.
Absolutely not.
It's too big a secret for them to keep.
They're our mates.
We can trust them.
All it takes is one slip of the tongue and we are done for.
And I know it wouldn't be on purpose but we can't take that risk.
Yeah, but Ah! I was about to call you and find out how things turned out.
Hello.
Hello.
These are yours.
Thank you.
Well? Don't keep us in suspense.
Well, all the way back to my place, Phil kept humming and I could tell he was getting more and more worked up so finally I said, âYou need to go home, don't you? âYou need to go home and check.
" So, off he went.
And the iron wasn't on, I take it? No, it wasn't.
He turned it off.
So then he came back again and I was just about to serve up dinner when suddenly Phil got worried that he hadn't locked his front door properly.
Oh, don't tell me.
He had to go home again.
Why didn't you just go to his place? I think it was important for Phil to get out and face his fears.
Yeah.
Right.
Anyway, thanks again.
And so sorry forjust landing on you like that.
Oh, it's fine.
I'm just sorry things didn't work out with Phil.
Oh, no, we're definitely going to see each other again.
I think we're absolutely perfect for each other.
Did someone forget to tell you it's a Sunday'? No rest for the wicked.
Where's Jake and Coby'? Oh, it's just a small job.
No point all of us getting out of bed.
So, is there anything I can do? Nah.
it's just been one of those weeks.
I don't mean going out on the job.
You said you needed a hand with marketing and promotions.
But the thing is, I need someone for more than just a weekend.
I know that.
Six months you said.
I don't want you to say yes because you feel obliged, not when I have to answer to your mum.
Then tell her it was my decision.
If Ben can offer to help, so can I.
And six months isn't going to kill me.
It better not, anyway.
And I will be putting that in the contract.
Nathan Dad.
I have thought about it.
I promise.
âThank you" was all I was gonna say.
This makes up for the times I meant to thank you and Mum but forgot.
Yeah.
I suppose it does.
FEET-FA: I used to talk about it.
How it would be, what I'd be wearing.
And you always said, âlt doesn't matter about the church.
âIt doesn't matter about the dress.
âAII that matters is the man that you're with.
" And that's exactly how it was.
That's why the whole day was perfect.
Sorry.
I heard you talking and I thought you were on the phone.
I was just telling Mum and Dad about the wedding.
And I probably don't have to 'cause they were there in spirit but I just wanted to anyway.
They're not saying you could've done a whole lot better? If they really thought that, none of this would have happened.
I honestly believe that.
In that case, I owe them big-time.
What are you doing? What does it look like'? I thought you hadn't found a place yet.
Yeah, well, now I have.
So, how about it, slave boy? You wanna help me carry this out? Hey- Hey- What's going on? You're not going, are you? Yeah, I found a place.
It's just as well.
You'll be sick of me if I stay much longer.
As if that would ever happen.
(GRUNTS) Tell her.
Bree's gotta do what's best for her, mate.
You heard the man.
Thanks, guys.
I was talking to my mate this morning, the one with the club.
He's a mate now'? I thought he was a friend of a friend.
Yeah, he said he's happy for us to come around and have a chat whenever you want.
You just say the word and I'll make the arrangements.
The thing is, I know he's got other investors who are interested so I'm not sure how much longer the offer's gonna be on the table.
I guess it wouldn't hurt to talk to the guy.
No.
No, no.
Well, that's what I was saying.
See, we could suss it out, check out the numbers, see if they work for us.
So, er, what do you say? Sometime early next week'? Yeah, alright.
If that works for your mate.
OK.
I'll tee something up.
Let me guess.
Tom? Mum! What manly hands you've got.
Oh, give me a hint.
Last night was fun.
Aha! Justin.
What was with that octopus outfit? You're not Justin.
No.
Only two arms.
But you had fun'? Yeah, I did.
See'? Aren't you glad I forced you into a tiny pair of shorts? (CHUCKLES) Yeah, I am, actually.
So, any time you want to do it again You are my handbag of choice.
I promise.
BEN: That was the moment I realised f had to let go "and start to trust in the future.
SONG: Look up And the sky was broken Broken And woke up And my heart was aching Honey, it was aching And so And all you want is a rainbow And all you get is the rain.
Just someone who's willing to go with the flow.
Who is it? Emma? Come on.
Who is it? Hey.
Don't do that! It's just me.
Why didn't you say something? I was just mucking around.
Sorry! It's OK.
I just It's OK.
Don't you trust me? Of course I do.
Maybe I don't like surprises.
Or maybe she was right.
I 'd lost my trust in things.
And it wasn't going to be easy to get it back.
Red jacket just ordered a third cocktail.
Are you serious? Mm-hm.
What about wig man? Still on the herbal tea.
They so won't last.
Hey, what are you up to this weekend? Haven't got a lot planned.
Why? I'm going to a party tomorrow night if you want to come.
It'll be a whole lot of people from my course.
You can talk mulch and tomato plants all night.
Wow.
Those landscape gardeners really know how to let their hair down.
So, you're going out tomorrow night? Does this mean I get the house to myself? Why, Mum? What are you planning? Nothing.
Hmm.
I've met someone.
But at the moment, it's just friends.
Where did you meet him? You know what? I mightjust go.
Around.
Mmm? So, I thought if you're going out tomorrow night, then I might ask Phil over for dinner.
Is that OK'? I want you to be OK with it.
I'm fine, Mum.
Honestly.
DAVE: If I wanna give the family some decent financial security, then it's now or never.
I want to expand the business, I want us to be able to take on the bigger jobs that we otherwise might have to turn down.
Oh, yeah.
Great.
Yeah, well, yeah, it is - in theory.
But, Nathan, look, I know this is a big ask.
I know you've just started up your own business but it's not exactly going gang busters yet either.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! I know it doesn't look like it but this is work.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
Sure.
But still What exactly are we talking about here? Would you consider putting things on hold and coming back to work for us'? All I'm asking is for a short-term commitment.
Six months tops.
Wow.
Um, OK.
But a commitment.
Full-time.
OK.
Erwow.
Um I don't need an answer right now.
You just think about it and get back to me.
You know'? Honestly.
Mmm.
Nono pressure.
âOh, no pressure, though.
Just the financial future of our entire family.
" It's not like his business is going that well.
So you keep saying.
But if he needs help, he comes to us - not the other way round.
Look, if you need help with the business, I'm ready, willing and able.
No! It's not necessary, Dad! No-one in this family should feel obliged.
And I made that very clear.
If Nathan wants to say no, he can.
What am I supposed to say? âSorry, Dad, I'm gonna stand by and watch your dreams go up in smoke.
" That's tough.
Are you done with that'? Yes.
Eat.
Mmm.
Maybe it's just because you're the one that used to work there.
What about my business? Do both.
No, you can't build up two businesses at once.
He doesn't trust me.
He thinks I'll fall flat on my face and need bailing out.
But look at this! Orders.
They came in today.
I mean, yeah, things are a bit slow but they're not dead.
(LAUG Ah! HS) So, you two do still live here.
About to send out a search party.
I thought you'd be locked in your room all day.
We're just having a holiday at home.
Yeah, just enjoying each other's company.
Not wishing for Fiji one little bit.
(CH UCKLES) (SQUEALS) Seriously, what are they on?! Ooh, how good is being married? Shh! Oh, they can't hear me.
Alright, you two, what's the deal? What do you mean, Ben? What's what deal? One minute you're both stressed out of your minds about the wedding And now it's like you've completely forgotten about it.
Oh, well, we're just not letting it get to us anymore.
Yeah.
Mmm.
What you put out into the world is what you get back, so if we're not stressed, no-one else will be.
Yeah, but this is Carbo's mum we're talking about.
FEET-FA: We're gonna have to tell them.
We can't keep this up forever.
We can try.
I hate lying to everybody.
I'm not loving it but when we tell people, all hell will break loose.
(GASPS) Carbo, your ring! Oh! You wore it outside the room! I'm sorry.
I forgot.
You have to be more careful.
They cannot find out like that.
OK, OK.
But, look, it's not as if we're never going to make the big announcement but, you know, just for now, why can't we just enjoy the little secret a little bit longer? Mrs Karandonis.
OK'? (SQUEALS) So, er, I've got a proposition for you.
Here we go.
Nathan told me about the talk you guys had and it got me thinking.
You're trying to build a business and I've got heaps of money I don't know what to do with.
Ben, no.
Take Mel's insurance money as capital investment.
No! Just call it a low-interest loan.
Or a no-interest loan even.
It's your money, Ben.
Yeah, it's my money.
Exactly.
I want to put it to good use.
Pay me back when you can.
Until then, it's a weight off because I don't have to think about using it.
We've already been to the bank to apply for a business loan, alright? Are their rates better? We're not taking your money but thanks for the offer.
Ben, you've got to invest it in your own future.
That's what Mel would've wanted.
Bathroom's free.
Mine.
Hey! Be my guest.
Er, excuse me.
You know, you can look at me.
Er You can.
You can look at me.
You weren't having so much trouble the other night.
This is just a bit weird for me, you know'? OK.
Well, I'm looking for a house so you don't need to worry.
I'll be out of your hair soon enough.
Hey, Bree.
Ah! OK, so, you get to choose the movie.
I'll pick where we eat lunch.
Um We've got the day off.
Oh.
Yeah.
But I'm looking for a house today so it's not really a day off.
That's cool.
I'll come with you, give you a second opinion.
I'm gonna ride my bike so unless you want to sit on the handlebars (CHUCKLES) Alright, we can have lunch when you get back.
The last inspection's at 2:00, so Late lunch.
You've got to eat.
OK.
Yeah.
Cool.
Cool.
Yes.
Ah! He's like a puppy dog, planning his day around you.
We're just mates.
Oh, come on.
Are you blind?! No.
I get that vibe too, I do.
A bit.
I don't want you to lead him on.
Alright? Yeah, 'cause that's what I've been doing! I don't want him to get hurt.
Ah, you don't get to freeze me out and then tell me who I can have lunch with! Nothing's happened with Alex and if it does, I'll set him straight.
Can you trust me with that much? OK, so, who is he? What's the story? His name is Phil and he's lovely.
Right.
Where'd you meet? Donna, if it's on the internet, that's fine.
That's how everyone's doing it these days.
Actually, it was at my support group.
Oh! I'm not sure quite so many people are doing that.
I joined to talk about (CLEARS THROAT) .
.
you know.
Anyway, Phil was in the group too.
He's got OCD as well.
Oh! Actually, I think I might just, um Oh, no, it's alright.
Stay.
Alright.
What was I saying? Phil.
Oh, yes.
At group.
So, Emma's going out tonight and I've invited Phil around for dinner.
Right.
I thought a home-cooked meal might be a nice relaxed way to go.
You don't think he'll get the wrong idea, though, do you? About inviting him to my place? Well, if he did, um, is that such a bad thing? Ignore him.
He's not even here.
I'm a bit nervous.
I don't remember what to do on a date.
Oh, no, no, no, no, you'll be fine! Just relax and have a lovely meal together.
I've got a really good feeling about this.
G'day, Ben.
Hey.
Oh, look at this poor little fellow.
He needs a drink.
I know how he feels.
Donna said you were on a break.
About bloody time.
We're supposed to use the staff room.
Oh, don't be such a nervous Nelly.
No-one cares.
So, um, have you thought any more about this nightclub thing? Nah.
I mean, yeah, I have.
I've thought about it but I don't know if it's what I want to do, like, if it's the right thing to do with the money.
Oh, the thing is, I heard you talking to your parents last night, you know, offering them a loan.
Didn't that go well? And, look, I don't want to seem like I'm ramming this down your throat but as far as I can see, this nightclub, it's a great opportunity.
We put our money in, get a decent return, everyone's a winner - me, you and your family.
When you put it like that, it sounds so easy.
Well, sometimes it is.
No, I reckon it will be fine.
I trust my mate.
BEN: There was that word again.
But just how trusting was I ready to be? So, er, what do you think of Tom? What's your impression? Um, I like him.
Although, I think he tried to finish off a customer's French fries the other day.
Yeah, but would you trust him? He's been in prison, right? Yeah, he does have a criminal record.
Then it depends.
On what? On what I'm being asked to trust him for.
If I was falling off a cliff and Tom grabbed my arm, would I trust him to hang on? Absolutely.
But'? But What do I know'? He's your grandfather.
He seems nice enough.
Why are you asking anyway'? No reason.
So, do you think they let him keep his prison gear? Do I even want to know why you're interested? Just thought it might be inspiration for the party tonight.
For you, I mean.
I've already got my costume sorted.
What? I think I kind of forgot to mention - the party, there's a theme.
No way.
Saints and sinners.
How about I think about it? That means you're gonna back out! Yes.
Yes, it does.
That's why I'm gonna pick you up in a taxi.
It's out of your way.
And why I'm gonna be very annoyed if you're not in costume, ready to go.
BREE: Seriously, do you know how many cockroaches I've seen today'? And that's just the real estate agents.
Wow.
Mmm, sit down.
Um, so, I was in the deli and I didn't know what you'd feel like.
A cheese sambo would've done it.
I mean, it looks great.
Thank you.
So, you didn't find a place? Nah.
I don't know.
I'll justI'll keep looking.
Or just stay here? Yeah, 'cause the mattress in the sunroom is the answer to all my dreams.
Well, you can move into my room if you wanted.
Alex I mean, we're friends, right? And that's cool but that's all it's ever gonna be.
(GRUNTS) I was joking.
As if I'm gonna give up my room for you.
OK.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
I stuffed that up.
Yeah, you got that right.
Um, can we just pretend I never opened my big mouth'? I already have.
Cool.
Do you want a drink? Yeah.
Oh, what's that'? It's from your cousin Voula.
She's finished my wedding dress.
Already.
Can I have a look? Oh, it's bad luck.
Not when you're already married! Exactly! We're already married and I've got this and Voula thinks I'm gonna be wearing it and so do your parents and so does everybody else.
Carbo, what have we done? Look, it's OK.
It really is.
You know, we're gonna tell them, we're just taking our time getting around to it.
Right, so after all the work that Voula's put into this and all the arrangements and the planning and all the rest of it, we're just gonna tell everyone it's been for nothing.
I never said it was a conversation I was looking forward to but I'm sure people will understand.
Huh.
You know, eventually.
In 2O years maybe.
NATHAN: OK, I'm outta here.
Do you guys need anything? Whoa! What's in the box? Er, it's my wedding dress.
Don't let Carbo see.
It's bad luck.
So I've heard.
I'm really looking forward to this wedding.
We haven't had a good party in ages.
What? Oh, no, I know your engagement party was awesome.
I justl missed it.
Well, forget I said anything.
Actually, just forget I was here.
We have got to start telling people.
The longer we leave this, the worse it gets.
OK? OK.
So, we'll start with Ben and Nathan.
We can trust them.
Yeah, we'll tell them tonight.
OK.
It'll be like the practice run for everyone else.
Yeah.
You know, with less yelling.
Yeah.
Ooh, Nathan, these just came out of the oven and I know they're your favourite.
Oh! But I can see you're going out so That doesn't mean I'm giving these back.
No, no, you don't have to.
And even if you eat them, you still don't need to feel obliged.
If you don't want to work for us, please don't feel you have to.
Yeah, well, I was kind of annoyed, I have to admit.
But at the same time, I do feel a bit guilty.
You and Dad have always helped me out.
Yeah, and you guys help out when you can.
How else would you get through all the food if Ben didn't help? Er, no, no, Ben does help.
You know he offered us some money.
What? He did? Mmm.
Yeah.
We said no, of course.
I don't want to impose on you kids like that.
So, no strings attached.
Like the biscuits.
Exactly.
However, if you do mention this conversation to your father, I will have to kill you.
Enjoy.
(BUZZES) Ah! How's Nathan? Um, ooh, I don't know.
Why? Oh, no reason.
But if you were to cross paths, I suppose you'd tell him that he was under no pressure to come back to work here.
Or would that never come up? I just wanted to make sure that he knew it was OK to say no.
I told him that myself, that the decision was totally his own.
BEN: Alright.
Alright, I need your help.
Serious help.
And no, that's not a revelation.
Why? What's wrong'? I'm going to a fancy dress party in two hours.
Saints and sinners.
What do I wear? I don't know.
But your first mistake was saying yes.
I told Emma I don't do dress-up! Oh, well, you used to.
Remember your Batman costume? Yeah, Mum, I was three.
It's OK to dress up when you're three.
I just don't want to rock up to the party looking like a complete idiot.
No dramas.
A mate I used to play cricket with goes for the Saints.
You know, St Kilda football team? I'll ask if you can borrow his jersey.
Dad, that is seriously the worst suggestion ever.
What do you think? (CH UCKLES) Oh, mate! Hey! What? You're gonna wear a pair of shorts like that, get used to it.
Not from my brother, I won't.
Mum told me you offered to lend them some money for the business.
Yeah, they said no.
Well, I'm just saying, it's nice that you offered.
(DOORBELL CHIMES) I'll grab it.
If Dad's serious about this, I wanna help him get it off the ground.
Ooh! Hey.
Hey! Enough with the 'hey'.
Oh, hey.
Ooh! What are you supposed to be'? Saint or sinner? I think it's a little bit of both.
What about the costume? Er, same answer, funnily enough.
Check you out! Very inventive! Or actually not at all.
It was the best I could do at short notice.
And what about this? Is this your costume? Yes, Ben, I'm going as a flasher.
Don't say it like it's a bad thing.
All will be revealed, but not yet.
Come on.
The taxi's waiting.
Let's go.
OK.
See ya, GUYS- ALL: Bye.
Have fun! (DOORBELL RINGS) Oh, Julie, the whole thing is a complete disaster! Oh! The oven was working when I put it in but something fritzed.
It's not even half-cooked.
Thank goodness Phil is running late.
I promised him a roast with all the trimmings but it's not half-cooked.
Do you mind if I use your oven? No! No, of course you can.
It's a big piece of meat, though.
It might take a while.
Well, it's a good thing the oven's pre-heated.
Yes.
Oh, you're making dinner! Well, it's dinnertime.
(CHUCKLES AWK\NARDLY) Look, it's alright, Julie.
No, no, no.
No! We weren't even hungry yet.
Were we'? We can wait.
So, can I get you a drink? No, thank you.
I'm fine.
I am.
Right, so, how are we doing with the lasagne? Oh, Donna, I thought tonight was your big date.
It is.
There's gonna be a bit of a delay with dinner, Dad.
Oh.
Oh, this isn't my OCD, really it's not.
It's just me being nervous.
Hmm.
('CLAP YOUR HANDS' BY SIA PLAYS) Ooh, that's Jackie.
It's her party.
I'll introduce you.
Ta-da! I'm a saint.
Because I'm a nurse.
You know, and part sinner too because of fetish and sin.
Well, they both go hand in hand, don't they? Are you OK'? BEN: Surely I trusted her enough to tell her about Mel.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
Of course.
Let's sort these out.
Come on.
Donna, if you're doing what I think you're doing, there is no need! (WATER RUNS) Don't make me come in there.
You're right.
You're right.
Yes, of course I'm right.
It's all gonna be fine.
Mm-hm.
Look, er, I might leave you to it.
What? You're off'? Yeah, I thought I'd go down the Boat Club, maybe have a counter meal.
See ya.
Mm-hm.
See ya, Ted.
Have a nice night.
How much longer do you think? I told Phil to ring me when he was on his way.
Just ring him and tell him to meet us here.
Oh, I can't do that.
You're already cooking our dinner for us.
We can't gatecrash your night entirely.
Oh, maybe the whole thing was doomed from the start.
(MOBILE PHONE RINGS) Oh, I bet that's him.
I bet that's Phil.
He's ringing to cancel.
Donna We've gone to all this trouble and he's not even gonna show up.
(CONTINUES RINGING) Hi.
Donna's phone.
Yeah, Phil, is it'? Yeah.
Here she is.
Hello, Phil.
Oh, that's terrible.
No, no.
Now, look, let's just keep calm and take it one step at a time.
What did they teach us in class? (SINGS) Most people I know Think that I'm crazy And I know at times I act a little hasty Well, that's good, Phil.
Good.
Now, I'm at Julie's.
It's 17 Randall Street.
Alright? OK.
See you soon.
He's having a spot of trouble getting out of the house.
Ah.
Keeps having to go back to make sure he turned the iron off.
So, what was the song about? Well, they tell us in group to try to focus on something else when panic grips.
Ah.
Sing a song, do whatever it takes.
Just don't go back to the house to check.
Unless the fire brigade call and say the place is in ashes.
What if Phil did leave the iron on and the house does burn down and he didn't check because I told him not to? Well, I suppose you'd be hard pressed to have a second date.
Dave! It's gonna be fine.
Really.
It'll be fine.
(POP MUSIC PLAYS LOUDLY) I warn you right now, it smells kind of lethal.
Er, I think I'll pass.
You really don't trust me, do you? It's not so much that as respect for my liver.
Oh! So, um, is he here? Who'? The guy from your course.
Oh, right! Um.
.
.
there isn't anyone.
I just made that up to get Retta off the scent.
Emma! Hey! Hey! Wow.
And nice work, by the way.
You're the new boyfriend, I take it.
Um, no.
Sarah, this is Ben.
A friend of mine.
We work together.
Well, you're cute.
That's all I'm saying.
She should make a move.
Oh, my God.
Check out what Blackmore's wearing.
Hey, Justin, you do know it's saints or sinners.
What's with the octopus outfit? I think what we have there is a perfect example of why the punch should be avoided at all costs.
I told you.
Sorry about the boyfriend thing.
Ah, it's OK.
Clearly it's the uniform that gave her the wrong idea.
I guess we've all heard about naughty nurses, right? (DOORBELL RINGS) Ooh.
That'll be him.
I'll get that.
Donna Do I look alright? Oh, you look perfect.
Ah, don't.
Do you want to start singing the song? No.
DAVE: Just come through here, yeah.
There she is.
Hi.
I'm really sorry I'm late.
Don't you apologise.
It was my oven that broke down.
Oh, Phil.
I'm sorry.
This is Julie and Dave.
Hello.
Hi, Phil.
Nice to meet you.
And we met at the door.
They kindly let me invade their kitchen.
Yes.
Well, the lamb's almost ready so, er, would you like a drink while you're waiting? Yeah, would you like a beer? Er, sure.
Yeah.
Take a seat.
I'll just grab one.
Is it OK like this? Er, a bottle's fine.
Thanks.
Great.
There you go.
Yeah, well (TAPS BOTFLE THREE TIMES) Yeah, mate? Phil collects things.
Did he tell you? Ah.
Teaspoons and clocks.
Wow! Really? (TAPS BOTFLE THREE TIMES) (HUMS 'CRAZY' BY BILLY THORPE) No, Phil.
The iron is not on.
I'm sure you didn't leave it on.
I can't remember.
I know I turned it off but I can't remember after that.
Hey, er, when you turn the iron off, take a photograph with your phone.
Then you've got proof.
You'll have the date, the time and everything.
(SINGS) Most people I know Think I'm crazy I'm just trying to help.
Right, well, I think it's time that Phil and I were on our way.
Are you sure? That tray's very hot.
We don't want to add third-degree burns to the mix.
I'll put it on the floor and drive very slowly.
Phil, shall we head off'? Oh, sure.
(TAPS BOTTLE THREE TIMES) JULIE: (WHISPERS) Good luck.
DONNA: Thanks so much.
See you, Phil.
Bye, Phil.
Bye.
Thanks.
I'll just That OK.
Ah, well .
.
.
that looks quite promising.
(TAPS GLASS THREE TIMES) (DANCE MUSIC PLAYS LOUDLY) Hey! I wondered where you got to.
I just needed some fresh air.
It's not about what my friend said, is it? About you being my new boyfriend? I know that must be weird.
Hey, I'm a medical professional.
I know what I'm talking about.
Melissa, my wife, she was a nurse.
Oh, Ben, I am so sorry.
It's OK.
I didn't know.
I know you didn't.
Honestly, I'm not saying it to make you feel bad.
I'll go and change.
Nah, nah, nah.
EmmaEmma, it's OK.
Yeah, I've made 15 million jokes about nurses tonight.
It really wasn't that many.
But you were counting.
Look, if I fell apart every time I saw a nurse's uniform or heard the name Melissa, I'd be a basket case by now.
And some days, maybe it's not far off but I'm trying my best.
You never talk about her at all.
And that's cool, of course it is.
You know, if you don't want to, it's up to you.
But I'm sure she was a really amazing person.
She was too good to be true.
That's what I thought when I first met her.
Like, âHow does someone like you even exist?" Love at first sight, in other words.
Yeah.
Well, for me, anyway.
Not for her.
She made me work pretty hard, I've gotta say.
Sorry.
No.
Really, it's fine.
So, what did she look like'? I've got a photo.
Yeah? BEN: I don't know what surprised me more - that I could trust Emma or that I could trust myself to talk about it She's gorgeous.
"And that it felt good.
(DOOR OPENS) Hey, can I talk to you? Yeah.
It's about Bree.
What about her? I like her.
'Like' like her.
Aha.
But she told me today she just wanted to be friends.
That's never easy to hear.
It sucks.
Maybe she just needs more time.
Look, if she's already told you Yeah, but she was nice.
Yeah, but stillstill, I don't think she's the type of girl who would lie about that.
But shemight not like me now but if I give it more time Yeah, mate (SIGHS) sometimes these things, they don't work out the way you want them to.
Why am I even asking you? Like you're some sort of expert.
No, I'm not gonna give up.
I think she just has to get to know me.
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYS LOUDLY) If you did a runner, I wouldn't have blamed you.
What do you mean? I've just talked your ear off about my wife.
I'm glad you told me.
I am.
But I hope you didn't feel like I was, you know, pushing you.
No.
I've been scared to talk about her.
You know, like, I didn't think I could get the words out.
But it doesn't have to be like that.
I can talk about her and I can remember her and it can be a good thing.
(MUSIC GETS LOU DER) Someone likes it loud.
You reckon? Want to dance? Why not'? Hey.
Er listen, what happened between us was a one-off.
It's not gonna happen again.
So you're not here for a two-off? I mean it.
OK.
Yeah.
If that's how you want to play it.
I'm glad you came tonight.
I'm glad you forced me to.
I think I turned into a bit of a hermit for a while there.
After the accident.
You know, like, time stood still or something.
I didn't want to go out.
I felt guilty about having fun.
It's like I didn't want to keep feeling so bad but I didn't want to move forward efiher because by moving forward, I was moving away from her.
I haven't even scattered her ashes yet.
I keep putting it off.
I know it's something I've got to do.
It's just that there's a part of me that feels like it's so final.
You know'? (TELEVISION PLAYS) (MUTES TELEVISION) What was Emma hiding underneath her trench coat'? In terms of costume, that is.
Ah, Emma came 8S a HLIFSE.
Ah, it's fine.
Honestly.
In fact, it's pretty funny when you think about it.
OK, so, it's not hilarious.
You know what, it was just good to be out, being an idiot in a pair of tiny shorts.
L,um I ended up telling her about Mel and how I was feeling.
And, erand I'm glad for it.
I think it's really important to be honest with each other.
Especially your friends.
I think it's really important that you can trust your friends with sensitive information, no matter how scared you might be of telling them.
And so does Carbo.
Don't you, honey'? Yeah.
Yeah.
'Cause, um, it's funny you brought it up, Benno.
'Cause we've got something we'd like to say.
(PHONE RINGS) Just It can wait.
(PHONE RINGS) It's Mum.
Call her back.
Hi, Mum.
How are ya'? Yeah, it is coming soon.
What? Er, yeah.
I mean, that sounds like a great deal.
OK.
We are looking forward to seeing you on our big day too.
Really? OK.
We'll, umwe'll see you soon.
Bye.
Mum's bought plane tickets to the wedding.
Non-refundable.
Oh.
Yeah.
And she's bought a hat.
A hat'? Remember the hat she bought for my sister's wedding? How could I forget that hat? Yeah.
She is that excited.
She won't have to wait long.
Big day will be here before we know it.
Yes.
Hey, are, what was the announcement you wanted to make? Er, it was, um Toilet paper.
Yes.
We need toilet paper and someone needs to put that on the shopping list.
How did we think we could get away with it? How did we think we could say, âSorry, change of plans.
âNo more wedding"? We didn't want the fuss, OK'? We wanted to avoid all that.
I know.
I know.
And lwouldn't change our day for anything.
It was perfect.
But it has to stay our secret.
If we tell people, they are never gonna forgive us.
What are you saying? We have to go through with the wedding.
We have to.
What'?! Everything we're trying to avoid? Can you ever see your mother getting over the disappointment? No.
So, it's what we have to do.
Is it even legal? Are you allowed to marry the same person twice? I don't know.
I don't know, maybe we just have to fudge the paperwork or something.
Oh, my God.
Listen to me.
I'm forging legal documents.
We're still telling Ben and Nathan? No! No, no.
Absolutely not.
It's too big a secret for them to keep.
They're our mates.
We can trust them.
All it takes is one slip of the tongue and we are done for.
And I know it wouldn't be on purpose but we can't take that risk.
Yeah, but Ah! I was about to call you and find out how things turned out.
Hello.
Hello.
These are yours.
Thank you.
Well? Don't keep us in suspense.
Well, all the way back to my place, Phil kept humming and I could tell he was getting more and more worked up so finally I said, âYou need to go home, don't you? âYou need to go home and check.
" So, off he went.
And the iron wasn't on, I take it? No, it wasn't.
He turned it off.
So then he came back again and I was just about to serve up dinner when suddenly Phil got worried that he hadn't locked his front door properly.
Oh, don't tell me.
He had to go home again.
Why didn't you just go to his place? I think it was important for Phil to get out and face his fears.
Yeah.
Right.
Anyway, thanks again.
And so sorry forjust landing on you like that.
Oh, it's fine.
I'm just sorry things didn't work out with Phil.
Oh, no, we're definitely going to see each other again.
I think we're absolutely perfect for each other.
Did someone forget to tell you it's a Sunday'? No rest for the wicked.
Where's Jake and Coby'? Oh, it's just a small job.
No point all of us getting out of bed.
So, is there anything I can do? Nah.
it's just been one of those weeks.
I don't mean going out on the job.
You said you needed a hand with marketing and promotions.
But the thing is, I need someone for more than just a weekend.
I know that.
Six months you said.
I don't want you to say yes because you feel obliged, not when I have to answer to your mum.
Then tell her it was my decision.
If Ben can offer to help, so can I.
And six months isn't going to kill me.
It better not, anyway.
And I will be putting that in the contract.
Nathan Dad.
I have thought about it.
I promise.
âThank you" was all I was gonna say.
This makes up for the times I meant to thank you and Mum but forgot.
Yeah.
I suppose it does.
FEET-FA: I used to talk about it.
How it would be, what I'd be wearing.
And you always said, âlt doesn't matter about the church.
âIt doesn't matter about the dress.
âAII that matters is the man that you're with.
" And that's exactly how it was.
That's why the whole day was perfect.
Sorry.
I heard you talking and I thought you were on the phone.
I was just telling Mum and Dad about the wedding.
And I probably don't have to 'cause they were there in spirit but I just wanted to anyway.
They're not saying you could've done a whole lot better? If they really thought that, none of this would have happened.
I honestly believe that.
In that case, I owe them big-time.
What are you doing? What does it look like'? I thought you hadn't found a place yet.
Yeah, well, now I have.
So, how about it, slave boy? You wanna help me carry this out? Hey- Hey- What's going on? You're not going, are you? Yeah, I found a place.
It's just as well.
You'll be sick of me if I stay much longer.
As if that would ever happen.
(GRUNTS) Tell her.
Bree's gotta do what's best for her, mate.
You heard the man.
Thanks, guys.
I was talking to my mate this morning, the one with the club.
He's a mate now'? I thought he was a friend of a friend.
Yeah, he said he's happy for us to come around and have a chat whenever you want.
You just say the word and I'll make the arrangements.
The thing is, I know he's got other investors who are interested so I'm not sure how much longer the offer's gonna be on the table.
I guess it wouldn't hurt to talk to the guy.
No.
No, no.
Well, that's what I was saying.
See, we could suss it out, check out the numbers, see if they work for us.
So, er, what do you say? Sometime early next week'? Yeah, alright.
If that works for your mate.
OK.
I'll tee something up.
Let me guess.
Tom? Mum! What manly hands you've got.
Oh, give me a hint.
Last night was fun.
Aha! Justin.
What was with that octopus outfit? You're not Justin.
No.
Only two arms.
But you had fun'? Yeah, I did.
See'? Aren't you glad I forced you into a tiny pair of shorts? (CHUCKLES) Yeah, I am, actually.
So, any time you want to do it again You are my handbag of choice.
I promise.
BEN: That was the moment I realised f had to let go "and start to trust in the future.
SONG: Look up And the sky was broken Broken And woke up And my heart was aching Honey, it was aching And so And all you want is a rainbow And all you get is the rain.
