Small World
JULIE: OK.
What do we want? DONNA: Uma salad.
J U LIE: (NARRATES) Is coincidence just chance Ah.
BOTH: Prawn salad.
(LAUGH) JULIE: (NARRATES) .
.
or is it part of some grand plan? We can't both have the same thing.
Oh, why not? Well, no reason, I suppose.
OK.
Two prawn salads it is.
Ooh! BOTH: And chips.
(BOTH LAUGH) JULIE: (NARRATES) Yes, coincidences can be tinyor life changing.
A chance meeting with someone who could end up playing an important part in your future.
(ROCK MUSIC BLARES) Ooh! (WHISTLES) Ooh, impressive.
Mmm.
Yeah, a little something I learnt when Ben and Nathan were going through their wrestling phase.
No, you just stick your fingers like that (I YRES SQUEAL) Whoa! That's a hell of a whistle you've got there.
I could hear you over the radio.
Oh So, now you've got my attention, where can I take you? BOTH: Home.
(BOTH LAUGH) First mine, then hers.
Yeah.
Uh, I'm good with directions but you might need to give me a little bit more than that.
Oh.
Don't tell me - you're in a band.
Oh, what gave it away? I think I know the signs.
Yeah, sorry about the gear.
I had it in the boot but I had to make some room for my mate's drum kit.
You caught me dropping it off.
Are you allowed to do that'? Oh, what the owner doesn't know won't hurt him.
So, what sort of music do you play'? Urban country folk rock.
How can you be urban and country at the same time? Come to a gig sometime and find out.
(CHUCKLES) He knows how to spruik.
I'm a cabbie.
I know everything about everything.
So did your husband or boyfriend teach you to whistle like that'? Uhit was my dad, actually.
Oh, right, right.
So can your husband whistle too? (GIGGLES) Yes, she's married.
Happily.
Oh, Jesus.
Some guys get all the luck.
I'm not.
Married, that is.
Unhappily or otherwise.
(LAUGHS) Work together? Nope.
She your big sister? No, only child.
Yeah.
Yeah, I got that vibe.
What does that mean? Well (LAUGHS) Well, you can't have gone to school together, unless you were several years below.
Oh, oh, very kind.
But no.
('DUMB THINGS' BY PAUL KELLY PLAYS ON RADIO) Oh, now, I like this song.
No kidding? I love it too.
BOTH: (SING) In the middle In the middle In the middle of a dream I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings I've done all the dumb things (BOTH LAUGH) Oh, our house is just on the left.
The yellow clapboard.
I like it around here.
Good spot for families.
Yeah.
It's been good for ours.
There you are.
OK.
There you go.
Keep the change.
Oh! Beautiful AND a generous type.
(LAUGHS) Thank you.
You're welcome.
Good luck with the band.
Hey, we play every Wednesday at the Legacy.
You should come along.
You can even bring your husband.
Oh! Or leave him at home.
(CHUCKLES) Hey, next time you need a cab, call me.
Your own personal driver.
Just like a limo, only half the price.
Oh, thanksMatt.
I might just do that.
I'm Julie.
Great to meet you, Julie.
You too.
Bye.
Catch you.
(HORN TOOTS) ('DUMB THINGS' CONTINUES PLAYING ON VAN RADIO) JULIE: Yes, the world can be a very small place.
The coincidence of meeting Matt was just the start.
Heâ heV» heV! Come here! (LAUGHS) om Oh, Mrs Chatfield just rang.
She needs her porch light fixed again.
Is it in the job book? Uh, yes.
With all the otherjobs.
You could stop now.
Yeah, I will.
Soon.
You smell nice.
Liar.
Mmm, you feel nice.
Good lunch, was it? Yeah.
Nice to just drop everything and enjoy yourself.
Mmm.
You should do it whenever you can.
Yeah, I should.
Right now I can't.
Oh! You know what they say about all work and no play.
Yeah, today you got to play, I got to work.
I wasn't gone that long.
Sorry.
I'm glad you had a nice time.
We need more space, Jules.
OK, well, we'll get some.
What, a new premises? I'll need to fix a lot of porch lights before that can happen.
Well, darling, something will come along.
(SIGHS) It will.
I better log this.
OK.
(SIGHS) Well, I'lldo the mail.
Yep.
Great.
Love you.
Oh, I need to get Dave out of the house.
Put a smile on his face.
(CHUCKLES) He ought to read this magazine.
It'd have him in stitches.
(READS) 'Ohm Sweet Ohm - Linear Resistors in Domestic Circuitry'.
(CHUCKLES) I guess bad puns is how they try to make it interesting.
Mmm.
There's heaps of them.
'REVOLTING Kitchens - Your Guide to Rewiring'.
'Oh, Watt a Night - The Annual Award Night Creates a Real Buzz'.
Hang on, an electricians' awards night? Oh, I doubt this lass complies with health and safety, the way she's holding that fluoro tube.
Actually, there is an industry awards night every year, isn't there? Well, it's not the Oscars, love.
Well, no, but it's still a night out.
Yeah, well, âI'd like to thank my apprentice Coby âfor only stuffing up half the time.
â âAnd my beautiful wife for taking extra-long lunches âwhile I slave away.
" Yeah, well, you've been both working hard.
You might be right.
This awards night might be just the spark you need.
(CHUCKLES) JULIE: Dad may have stumbled across the very thing I was looking for.
Was that more than just coincidence? NATHAN: There.
BEN: Hey, taste that.
Hey, no.
Wha How'? Just bite into it.
I'm not eating this by itself.
That is horrible.
No, it's not.
It's beautiful.
Look at it.
It's a tomato.
Seriously, growing your own vegetables - you guys should get into it.
Although, technically, a tomato is a fruit.
Mmm.
I know something else that, technically, is a fruit.
Yeah, I love you too.
Tell you what - we are so in sync.
What? Yeah, I went to call Retta and she was already calling me.
It happens all the time.
You guys call each other 200 times a day.
Sooner or later, it's gonna sync up.
Don't you believe in small, everyday miracles? BEN: What are you doing here? Weren't you just on the phone? I just wanted to make sure he was home.
See'? You really are connected.
I think it's magic.
She's right.
There's stuff that happens between us nobody could explain.
Oh.
Eugh! I can tell if it's Carbo calling by the sound my phone makes.
Mm-hm.
Yeah, my phone does that too.
It rings.
(SNIGGERS) Yeah, but with Carbo, I can tell.
Of course you can tell.
You guys only call each other.
My phone doesn't stop, mate.
He means social calls.
Admit it.
You guys have no social life.
Um, I chat to people all day.
Uh, what people? Tina.
T (LAUGHS) Tina? Tina, who you work with? Yeah.
And some of the customers are very nice.
That doesn't count.
You guys live in your own world.
This little Carboretta bubble.
So'? We've got each other.
That's all we need.
Right, babe'? Hey.
What they're saying is I don't have any friends.
You've got friends.
Tina.
OK, Tina is great, but it's true that we never do anything outside of work.
Well, let's all go for dinner.
Why don't I have more friends? What is wrong with me? There's nothing wrong with you.
You're perfect.
You're still kind of new in town.
It's hard meeting new people.
It's easy when you're little.
If you're the same age, you're friends.
It's automatic.
Yeah, when you're 27, people think you're kind of weird if you walk up and say, âHey, you want to play?" I should invite her over.
You should.
In fact, I should have a dinner party.
That way, Ben and Nathan can meet Tina and see that I do have friends.
Yeah.
Or a friend.
Who's fantastic.
Great idea.
And then they can invite people.
That's what grown-ups do, isn't it? That's right.
Hmm.
(CLEARS THROAT) Hi.
I'm Retta.
Would you like to come to my dinner party? Who could say no to that'? (GIGGLES) (SHOWER RUNS) Jakey? Come on, mate, I'm busting.
(KNOCK AT FRONT DOOR) Oh! Jakey! BREE: Hello? Hello? (KNOCK AT DOOR) Oh, coming! Come in, come in.
Thank you.
Yep.
I'm not stopping long.
Yeah.
I haven't seen you in a while.
I know.
Look, I just came to tell you that you're never gonna guess who I met up with today.
JAKE: His name's 'Boots'? Yeah.
Well, it might as well be.
He played seven seasons for the Snappers, never once owned a pair of footy boots.
Ha! How does that work? Oh, you know, bare feet, sneakers.
Sometimes he'd borrow a pair.
He played this one semifinal in nothing but thongs.
(CH UCKLES) And you know him how'? Ohit's a long story.
Can of open worms everywhere.
I'm just going for one drink and then I'm outta there.
School night and all that.
Are you OK'? Hey? That's a chick question.
Next.
âOne drink.
It's a school night.
" Yeah, well, I guess I'm getting used to living with me nanna.
(CH UCKLES) What's brought this on? Oh, well, nothing.
I just want to fire on all cylinders at work.
I owe Dave.
Well, you've got nothing to worry about.
Dave's happy.
You're doing a great job.
No, it's not that.
It's I should have said something earlier aboutTom.
Look, yeah, but you came clean in the end.
Yeah, maybe.
Hey, if something else came up family-wise - nothing bad - do you think I should tell him? I don't know, mate.
Depends on what it is.
I mean, Dave's got a pretty full plate at the moment, you know.
So pick my moment, you reckon? Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
OK, now, your first instinct will be to say no You don't know that.
Trust me, I do.
I think we should book a table at the Masters Electricians Trade Awards.
Uhno.
But it could be fun.
And expensive.
No, it's an investment.
I don't think so.
Well, you've never been before.
Forking out hundreds of bucks for a boring night never seemed like a good idea.
It's a great way to get the business a bit more out there.
Those nights are for seriously big operators, guys who do entire grids for office towers or light the Harbour Bridge.
So it's the perfect place to make good contacts.
I'm no good at sucking up, Jules.
It's called networking.
It's out of my league.
That's not true! Anyway, just think of it as a night out.
A party.
And if you happen to rub shoulders with some movers and shakers, then where's the harm in that'? When is it? Tomorrow night.
You've already bought the tickets, haven't you? So that's it, then.
You could've just told me we were going.
Look, if you really don't want to go, we don't have to.
But it'd be a waste of six tickets.
Six?! I booked a table.
Are the boys in on this? No, I haven't asked them.
But if you're going, so are they.
You know, it's cute how you're still asking me, like I get some kind of say in this.
Well, you're the boss.
Yeah.
I am the boss.
Just leave everything to me.
So there I was in her spare room, totally starkers.
(LAUGHS) What did you do? What any man would've done.
I wrapped myself in the curtain and legged it.
(LAUGHS) So, anyway, tell me more about these Rafters.
Ah, well, you've heard about Dave, your half-brother.
Yeah.
Bloody Tom.
Whoever knew'? (MOBILE PHONE RINGS) Matt speaking.
Oh, hi, Matt.
It's Julie, from today.
The whistler.
Oh, yeah.
I drove you home.
I remember.
Did you change your mind about coming to my gig? Uh, no.
I was just hoping to book you for a lift tomorrow night.
To the city.
Uh, yeah, tomorrow night.
Yeah, not a problem at all.
What time? Uh, 6:30.
Um, 17 Randall Street, Carss Park.
See you then.
OK.
Bye.
Who was that'? You know that blonde I told you about? Yeah, the hot older woman.
Yeah, she needs a lift tomorrow night.
Oh, so she's a good sort, then? Yeah, there's definitely something about her.
So, anyway, these Rafters.
Go on.
J U LI E: Coincidence had put us on a collision course.
FEET-FA: Nathan! You know my friend Tina'? Friend? Yes.
Friend.
Anyway, I think you two would be great together.
Togetherwhere? At my dinner party tonight.
You're both coming and I think you would make a lovely couple.
Tonight'? Oh, mmm, I'm going out with Coby.
Well, great.
Get him to come here too.
No, we can't 'cause we'rewe're Ben! You'll be here for dinner tonight, won't you? Probably.
Why? I'm having a dinner party.
Great.
Who's coming? Uh, well, there's you two No, I can't make it.
I'm busy.
Plus my friend Tina.
She is amazing.
You'll love her.
Uh, she'll pair up with Nathan.
And then if you bring Emma, that makes six.
Perfect.
JULIE: Hello! Yep, in the kitchen.
Emma might be busy.
Ooh, Nathan.
Great.
I need you tonight.
We've got a very important work function and you're coming.
Since when do we have work functions? It's the METAs.
The what? The METAs.
It's the electrician industry awards.
The sparky's night of nights.
Ho! Sounds like fun, Nathan.
Yeah! Yeah.
I can't.
I'm going out with Coby.
That's right, because he's coming too.
I got tickets.
You didn't say you had tickets.
I didn't know.
No, well, I only booked them last night.
So how did you know you were going out with Coby'? Yes, Nathan, how did you know'? Because he's coming to the METAs too.
(LAUGHS) And I'm sorry, Retta, but Nathan's locked in.
Locked in.
To the METAs.
The sparky's night of nights.
Sounds great.
It will be.
So I'm off to get some new business cards.
(SIGHS) Well, that is a shame.
But I'm locking you and Emma in for my dinner party, yes? Name tags.
Tina has got a shocking memory.
Retta's night of nights.
(MOUTHS WORDS) (LAUGHTER) Will you look at that'? My name on a business card.
Nice work, Mum.
These are great.
Oh.
Are you sure Dave wants me there? Yeah, of course.
Why not? Oh, no reason.
Yeah.
Oh, it's probably not your idea of a good time but it will mean a lot to Dave.
And there are free drinks.
I'm there if these guys are.
I'm happy to.
Oh, me too.
No, seriously, I am stoked.
Yeah, great.
Coby, um, remember, the dress code's formal, so Yeah.
I'll think of something.
Yeah.
Good.
Also, it's a table for six, so one of you should bring a date.
Over to you, Jakey boy.
Well, who am I gonna invite? Natho? It doesn't have to be a DATE date.
It's a little late notice, that's all.
We've only got a few hours.
Oh, well, it'd just be nice if I wasn't the only woman on our table.
Ah.
Well, we'll do what we can.
Yes, well, I'm sure one of you will find someone.
Ahh! (CHUCKLES) Alright, enough with the cards.
Who's in your little black book? I am gutted I lost that Laura chick's number.
Who? Watch girl.
She seemed like the sort of girl that didn't say no to much.
Careful! You are talking about the woman I love.
(CHUCKLES) Whatever happened to your hook-up from that night at the Cross? I don't know what you're talking about.
The tall one.
Deep voice.
Adam's apple.
That's very funny, Coby.
Who was this? Nobody.
(LAUGHS) Petra, I believe her name was.
And, uh, she was pretty hot.
For a bloke.
(LAUGHS) I didn't hear anything about this.
'Cause there's nothing to tell.
Oh, are you sure about that'? Come on.
We're mates.
We're not gonna judge you.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
I went home with a transvestite.
I just forgot to mention it.
Can we just move on? (BOTH LAUGH) Hey, what about that chick from a couple of weeks back that you shagged in the broom closet? Oh, not exactly a long-term thing.
Well, Julie's right.
One of us should be able to find some sort of available female.
NATHAN: Not me.
Or me.
Well, that's a bit sad, eh? BOTH: Bree.
(SIGHS) It's your call, boys.
I hate stuffing chickens.
It feels wrong.
Well, just leave it to me, then.
I'll do it.
No, no, no.
I'm here for you, babe.
Nothing's too much trouble.
Even shoving mangos up a chook's bum is no drama.
Thank you.
That's alright.
Hey, I'm really excited about tonight.
I can't wait to meet Tina.
I can't wait either.
You will love her.
She's a friend of yours.
Of course I will love her.
So have you called Emma yet'? Yeah, I left a message.
So you still don't know if she's coming? No.
She might have plans.
Oh.
OK.
But Tina's coming, so it still might work out OK.
Yeah.
You and Tina might really hit it off, Benno.
You know, she is a great girl.
(LAUGHS) Funny.
And very, very pretty in her own way.
Sure.
You just can't let her breath put you off.
I'll be honest, it's bad.
But it's a medical condition.
What is? Halitosis.
And she's very, very self-conscious about it.
I bet.
Just don't breathe in when she's talking to you.
That's a trick I learnt from my Uncle Con.
Yeah, I have some lavender oil at work and I just put it on the tip of my finger and when she's talking to me I go like this.
As long as there's a table in between us, I should be OK.
You'd be surprised.
You know what? I'm just excited to meet someone with breath so bad there's a medical name for it.
I could've sworn we still had a boxful of the old ones.
Yeah, well, the old ones are pretty basic.
These ones are much better.
I bet they cost a bob.
They look like it.
Actually, no.
What, a couple of hundred bucks? No-one likes a scrooge.
No, they were cheap.
Like you.
Anyway, they're tax deductible, so if you don't feel like networking, they can stay in your pocket.
The main point of tonight is to enjoy ourselves.
What, have fun'? Mmm.
Yeah, something like that.
I'm sorry, Jules.
I should be thanking you.
A night out on the town.
Great.
Aww.
Let's do it.
Got your speech all prepared? Oh, he's always got a speech prepared.
Hey! Who says it won't be you in a year or two accepting your award? 'Best Light Globe Change'? And thanking your wife for being so brilliant.
Ha! Never say never.
A lot can happen in a year.
Just have to think positive.
Exactly.
And hand out a few of these.
Party our socks off.
Rock'n'roll.
Heywhat do you reckon? (SNIGGERS) It's not bad, eh? That's what you hired? No, no, not hired.
They wanted 100 bucks.
I own this baby.
No, you were robbed.
And lose that thing around your waist.
Yes, I thought so too but it's attached to the pants with these clips.
I can't get it off.
Well, do you want me to try? No, no, no.
You might tear it or something.
Are you kidding? You reckon you'll wear this again? Give me a go.
I haven't seen one of these in years.
(LAUGHS) I don't know why you think you're gonna be better at this than me.
I tried for ages.
Unclipping difficult items of clothing is a gift of mine.
Oh, you dirty dog.
Hold on.
This is gonna be harder than Ithought.
Oweee.
OK.
(G R U NTS) Whoo.
Whoo.
Whoo! Hello, boys.
Not interrupting anything, am I'? I was just trying to get this off.
Well, you know, whatever you want to do in the privacy of your own home is no business of mine, but there's a cab waiting, so Well, our secret's out now, Jakey.
What do you think of my suit? It'seither really cool or really not.
I can't decide.
Well, it works for me.
(CHUCKLES) Hmm.
An invite from my brother.
I don't get one of those every day.
It could even be a good night.
Yeah.
You look great.
Oh, thank you.
Um, just to get things straight, we are'? Mates.
Right.
(HORN BEEPS) COBY: Come on.
Let's go.
People, these free drinks are not gonna scull themselves.
Come on, darling.
Dad wants to get a photo.
Can you see my socks? What? No.
I've got one blue one, one black one.
I couldn't find a pair.
No-one will notice.
Come on.
TED: Come on, come on.
Bunch up together.
Big smiles.
Say 'odd socks'.
ALL: Odd socks.
(SHUTTER CLICKS) Ha-ha.
There's one for the pool room.
I think I should change them.
No! No, Dad.
They're fine.
Come on, let's go.
Have a good night.
I'd better get back to sleeping beauty.
Oh, Dad, if you have any trouble with Ruby, just, um She'll be fine.
You kids go off and enjoy yourself.
Thanks, Dad.
Maybe we should just go to the pub for a counter meal and a few drinks.
Just you and me.
(LAUGHS) Look at you, big spender! Ready to give up a prepaid meal and an open bar? At least I'd have you to myself.
MATI": Evening, madam.
Oh! Ah! Thanks, Matt.
Uh, and you must be Just call me 'sir'.
Oh, good to meet you, sir.
I'm Matt.
OK.
What's with the cabbie? Oh, he is a lesson in the value of using a business card.
Hmm.
J U LI E: Coincidence? Or was the universe trying to tell us something? ('BURN' BY JESSICA MAUBOY PLAYS) Dave, I don't know how to thank you.
This could be the best night of my life.
OK.
Righto.
Hey, do you want me to grab those? I can hand them No, no.
We just take one.
Just Oh, yeah.
No, I've seen this.
Cheers.
Flash do.
Oh, hang on.
Take one of these.
Coby Jennings.
That's my name.
No job too big, too small.
There's me.
Thanks to all of you for coming, especially at such short notice.
I just wanted to say a few words.
Um, look, you're a great team to work with and I'm really grateful for all that you bring to the job.
I know I enjoy coming to work every day and I hope you feel the same.
Oh.
That'sthat's it.
My one and only speech for the night.
Well, nice one, Dave.
And I wouldn't have stuck around so long if I wasn't happy.
Yeah.
To Dave.
Great bloke, great boss.
Hear, hear.
ALL: Cheers.
Hey, Dave, there's something I've been meaning to tell you.
I kept my mouth shut too long about Tom, so I should have told you this earlier.
But I didn't think you wanted to hear it.
Coby, slow down.
What is it? Your brother's in town.
Oh.
What? My brother? What brother? Coby Half-brother.
Tom hasn't told you this? No, he didn't.
OK, well, I'm telling you now.
Um, Bree and I saw him last night and he is a great bloke and now he's here and now you know.
Wellwell, you really know how to pick your moment, don't you? Yeah, no kidding.
Well, you know, no secrets, right? Yeah, well, thanks for letting me know.
Let's have a great night, eh? You alright? Hey, I've got a brother who's in town.
Yeah.
It doesn't mean I have to meet him, right? Oh, Dave.
No, I'm alright.
Look, we're here to party, right? We've got a prepaid meal and an open bar.
Solet's party.
BEN: Thanks for coming at such short notice.
EMMA: Thanks for the invite.
Something smells delicious.
Oh, hello.
Hi, Emma.
I'm so glad you could make it.
We're just waiting on one more.
My friend Tina.
Please, take a seat.
CARBO: Want a drink? Yeah.
I hope she isn't lost.
You gave her the address, right? Yeah, of course.
But the GPS she got off eBay has a mind of its own and sometimes just sends her round in circles.
I might just check she hasn't texted.
OK.
Perhaps she's stopped for mouthwash.
Oi! No jokes.
That was the deal.
It's a medical condition.
Right.
Can I ask? Oh, it's nothing.
Retta's friend Tina who's coming tonight, she's fantastic.
You're gonna love her.
But she suffers from 'hello toasties'.
It's a breath odour issue.
You mean she's got halitosis? Yes, that's it.
And her name is Tina? Yeah.
Not Tina Crabic? How did you know that'? I went to primary school with her.
She had odour issues even back then.
What a small world.
Yeah.
Old Tina Crab-bag.
I'm gonna call her right now.
Wait till she hears that you're gonna be here.
Of course, your panel board's got to have overcurrent protection.
Yeah, actually, I really should be getting back.
But if your system bonding jumper is installed, you can't connect your EGC.
Yeah.
Your neutrals will be a problem.
There you are! It's a fascinating Ah, hi.
I'm Julie.
Nice to meet you.
Roger Wiseman.
Wise man.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
(LAUGHS) Your wife must be getting really thirsty.
Oh, yeah.
Don't worry, I'll be right back.
Sorry I interrupted.
Yeah, I told you, I'm no good at this networking.
COBY: Hey, Dave! Look who I found.
Oh, I think I might need a top-up.
Yeah, grab me one, would you? Yep.
G'day, Dave.
What are you doing here, mate? Uh, I thought I'd finally get along to one of these things.
Oh, well, that's good.
Good on ya.
Mate, you wouldn't catch me at one of these things unless I was up for a gong, you know'? Right.
I've been to a couple of these and the novelty's wearing off a bit.
How is that office job going'? The one we pulled out of.
Oh, Taylor Street.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The other mob got it done.
It was a day ahead of schedule, I recall.
Yeah, I'm sorry again for leaving you in the lurch.
Nah, nah, nah, nah, forget it.
Look, sometimes I wish I was still doing things your way.
You know, just keeping it simple.
How so'? Well, you know, pulling out the pliers and stuff.
I mean, I'm spending all day in suits talking to developers and councils.
Actually, we're thinking of expanding a little bit.
Oh, that's great.
But, you know, don't say I didn't warn you, mate.
You've got it good.
You get to spend more time with your family, you're working with a great small team of mates.
Yeah, I'm not complaining, I just thought we might nudge it along a bit.
Yeah, well good.
(JULIE CLEARS THROAT) See, mate? You always were a lucky man, Dave.
G'day, Jules.
Warney.
Fancy seeing you here.
Well, you've got to, haven't you, when you're up for the Golden Fuse.
The big one.
Wow.
Congratulations.
Yeah, thanks, Jules.
Uh, I'm actually a bit nervous.
Stupid.
It's just another dust collector for the office, right? Yeah.
Oh, look out.
There's Gordy Weaver.
He's got a big flour mill conversion on the boil and I think we're a shot at the contract, so, um, I'll catch up with you later, eh, Dave? Yeah.
Warney up for the Golden Fuse? How did that happen? Well, look on the bright side.
It just goes to show how quickly things can change.
Yeah.
Tina, will you stop apologising? I'm just worried about you.
OK.
But if you need to go to the hospital, call me, yeah? We can drive you.
Keep me posted'? Let me know how you're getting on.
Bye.
What happened? Tina's stuck on her couch with an ankle that's swelling up like a pumpkin.
How did she manage that'? Fell in the shower.
Slipped on a loofah.
(ALL GROAN) CARBO: Oh, unlucky.
That's the dinner party ruined.
I'm so sorry, Emma.
Please don't apologise.
I just hope she's OK.
Poor Tina.
I seem to remember she was always accident-prone.
One school excursion, we went to an urban farm and she was hit on the head by a watermelon.
Don't they grow on the ground? I know.
Yep.
Sounds like Tina.
We can still enjoy ourselves.
Come on, I'm starving.
Yeah! Right, right.
Yeah.
There's no point moaning about it.
OK, let's eat.
Yes.
I am not serving that.
It doesn't look that bad to me.
It's a disaster! Dial a pizza? (SIGHS) Hey, it's just dinner.
It's not worth getting worked up over.
(SNIFFS) It's not the dinner.
Hey, talk to me.
Why don't I have any friends? You do.
Tina.
If she wasn't so clumsy, she would've been here ages ago.
We've moved around too much.
There is no-one I can call to go see a movie or hang at the beach with.
It takes time to start in a new place.
I haven't even been able to tell anybody that we got married.
Ben said there was another one of these in the fridge.
Yeah.
Would you prefer if I went home? No, no.
You don't have to go.
Unless you want to.
No, I don't.
I'm looking forward to this dessert.
Look, this might not be the right time but after we eat, I was going to suggest some games.
Maybe charades? Is that really daggy? (LAUGHS) No, that's a great idea.
I'm terrible, but I love it.
Me too.
And it really only works in pairs, so, you know, five would've been an awkward number anyway.
Ooh, excuse me.
Hello! Oi! What are you waiting for'? Let's go back in.
That chick from that show on the telly - she's about to sing.
Well, what about Bree? Yeah, she knows the way.
Oh, tell me you've moved on.
What? Bree.
Been there, done that.
Yeah, of course.
It was a one-off.
It's never gonna happen again.
Righto.
So why were you watching her getting chatted up by that dude? I'm not.
There's no way.
Let's go.
OK.
Move on.
Alright! ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for a very special young Boat.
'Jaws'.
'Titanic'.
'Big Fish'.
Hmm, hmm.
'The Boys'.
Mm-mm.
'Dumb and Dumber'.
BOTH: Hey! Mmm.
TV show.
Mmm.
Hey, you said it was a film.
Mm-mm.
You did.
You said it was a film.
Shh! Mm-hm.
Mmm.
You and me.
Mm-hm.
Mmm, mmm, mmm Retta and Emma.
Who's heard of a show called 'Retta and Emma'? 'Friends'! Did you say that because you think we're friends? Eh, mimes don't talk.
We are friends, though, aren't we'? Ll guess so.
Well, is that the answer? No, it was 'Twin Peaks'.
Wow.
You really are terrible at this game.
I know! (LAUGHS) OK, my turn.
OK.
Two words.
Yeah.
First word.
Wrist.
WARNEY: I was honestly not expecting to win this, especially after I spewed on Clinchy's shoes last year.
Cheers.
Oh, I could use one of those myself.
There's a bit too much hot air in there for me.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
Good on Warney, though, for bringing home the big one.
Golden Fuse.
You know Warne? Mmm.
Guilty, Your Honour.
You could say I gave him his start.
Well, his second chance, anyway.
You've got a lot to answer for, then.
What do'? Well, what's the reason he brings his jobs in so cheap and on time? Corners.
He cuts them.
Yeah? Well, he didn't learn that from me.
Yeah? A recent job he did for me, subcontracted, it's a total bloody nightmare now with the tenants.
Which job was that, out of interest'? It was a city job.
Those offices down in Taylor Street.
Right.
I'm Gordon Weaver, by the way.
Dave Rafter.
Oi, no, no.
Dave, give him your card.
That's what we're here for.
No, no, no, no.
Alright, at least take mine.
Best boss in the world, this bloke.
Thanks.
I'm getting a beer.
That's a helluva suit.
Yeah, he doesn't get out much.
(LAUGHS) J U LI E: Coincidence? Golden opportunity? Well, I should get back in there.
Good to meet you, Dave.
Yeah.
JULIE: Or none of the above? What? That was actually fun! (GIGGLES) Yeah, thanks for the night.
I had a great time.
It's good of you to say so.
BREE: No, I did.
I really mean it.
Oi, that was awesome! Those tradies know how to party.
Hey, good feed too.
I'm not gonna need to eat for a week.
JULIE: Thanks for coming.
Goodnight.
Thank you.
(CHUCKLES) Night.
Next year, we're gonna win two Golden Fuses.
Night, guys.
Night! DAVE: It was good to see what I'm up against and great to get the whole team together, you know'? What, you mean you wouldn't come back next year? Why would we'? Do I really want to change things? I've got things pretty good.
Yeah, you do.
Yeah, we all do.
Yeah.
You're a brilliant dad and a very sexy husband.
Thank you.
And 1O Golden Fuses couldn't change that.
(CHUCKLES) What a huge night.
Yeah, you're not kidding.
Apparently I have a brother.
Ooh, you're cutting it fine.
But I made it.
Of course I did.
You booked me.
Mmm.
So are we heading home or are you out to celebrate winning some big award? No, we're just waiting for Nathan, then we'll head home.
Yeah, we weren't up for any awards.
Oh, next time, eh? Plenty more important things to worry about.
Yeah.
Yeah, plenty.
Hey, I tried to write a song about all this awards stuff once.
It's called 'Pointy Statues for Pointy Heads'.
But I couldn't find anything to rhyme with 'ARIA'.
(CHUCKLES) on.
NATHAN: Sorry! Sorry.
What, you're a songwriter? Yeah, yeah.
Believe it or not, driving a cab isn't the dream.
Dave was in a band once.
Really? Oh I thought you had a bit of that old rock-dog vibe.
Oh, yeah, well You know, we were just a few mates mucking around, really.
Yeah, yeah, us too.
But we'd really love to have a crack at making a living out of it.
Yeah, well, you should go for it.
Don't want to end up with any 'what-ifs', do you? No, you don't, darling.
Do you? Too right.
You've gotta be in it to win it.
Yes.
'Starrier'.
Hmm'? Rhymes with 'ARIA'.
(CH UCKLES) Oh, that's not bad.
Why didn't I think of that? Alright, what rhymes with 'purple'? BEN: You did well tonight.
EMMA: What do you mean? Well, Retta's a bit of an acquired taste but you made a real effort.
No, I didn't.
I like her.
She's fun.
Not when you have to live with her.
(LAUGHS) She's a bit eccentric.
That's cool.
And she's got a good heart, don't you think? Yeah.
Yeah, she does.
So, I guess I'll see you at work, then.
Yeah.
Thanks for coming.
You really, umyouyou see the good in people.
That's nice.
Oh, don't believe the hype.
I can be a bitch when I want to be.
(BOTH CHUCKLE) Night.
Goodnight.
(LAUGHS) DAVE: I mean, when you think about it, having a big business doesn't end your money worries.
Uh-uh.
In a way, it adds to them.
Bigger payroll, more overheads, bigger risks.
You know, big operators, they go to the wall just as quickly as us small fry.
Mmm.
And I've got my health, got my family - more family by the week, it seems.
Mmm.
And I've got you.
Mmm.
Yes, you do.
But it's like you yourself said to Matt.
Oh, Matt again.
Should I be worried'? No, darling.
He's a nice guy.
But it's like you said to him.
You don't want to spend your life wondering âWhat if?" You don't care if I'm no captain of industry, do you? Darling, that's not even a question.
If you're happy, there's a fair chance I am too.
You've just got to figure out what you want.
Oh, well, we can't get anyone there until Thursday.
OK.
Well, we'll call when we're 3O minutes away.
My pleasure.
Bye.
Another booking? Yeah, that's the seventh call this morning.
What's going on? Well, it seems that Coby's a born salesman.
What, this is all on the back of last night? Mm-hm.
Ah, fantastic.
Maybe the night was worth it after all.
Yeah, well, they're mostly pretty small.
That was one of the waiters from last night.
He can't fix the light on his mum's oven.
Someone's gotta fix Mum's oven light.
It may as well be us.
Yeah.
And you never know where things will lead.
Yeah, true.
(PHONE RINGS) She might have trouble plugging in her vacuum cleaner as well.
(LAUGHS) I'm just gonna grab a quick shower.
OK.
Dave Rafter Electricians.
Oh! Uh, yes, just a second.
He's here.
Gordon Weaver.
(CLEARS THROAT) Gordon.
Yea Uh, a meeting this morning'? Yeah, II'm sure I can do that.
What's up? Oh.
Sounds interesting.
No, that's not a problem.
I'll, uhI'll see you then.
Yep.
OK.
(HANGS UP PHONE) THE Gordon Weaver from last night? Yeah.
He heard that I passed on the Taylor Street job, admires honesty and wants to talk to me about a flour mill he's converting.
(GASPS) Not the one that Warney was talking about? Yeah.
Maybe the good guys are gonna get a break after all.
Oh! This is huge, Jules.
Well, you'd better get a clean shirt on.
What amazing luck, getting chatting to him.
Yeah, it was.
And none of it would've happened if it wasn't for you.
Oh! Thanks.
You're welcome.
So, huge? Huge.
(LAUGHS) Clean shirt.
Shower.
J U LI E: Running into Gordon Weaver - happy coincidence? Da ve's next surprise might prove to be more of a challenge.
Ooh! (DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES) (JULIE GASPS) It looks like we're going to get very busy! No! (LAUGHS) I take it the meeting went well? It was just a formality.
They basically offered me the contract as soon as I walked through the door.
Oh, that's amazing! Yeah, it's amazing.
And it's big.
We're gonna have our work cut out for us.
The time frame? It's manageable.
Darling, this is brilliant.
This is exactly what you were looking for.
It's a kick-start to the big-time.
It's a far cry from changing light bulbs.
Oh, well done.
You made this happen.
Thank you.
I'm gonna go tell the lads.
Oh, go.
They'll be thrilled! I think someone might have their spark back.
(CHUCKLES) Oh, who let you in'? Retta.
Have you seen my 'Black Russian's? Yes, Ben, I have.
Oh.
Do you want to help me dig some weeds? No, not really.
Fair enough.
Give me a minute.
I'll put the kettle on.
I could use a break myself.
So are we ready to go? Go'? Yeah.
Me and Retta thought we might go check out the roller derby at Eastgardens.
You and Retta? Yes, Ben.
You don't get Emma all to yourself.
Roller derby? Isn't that girls on rollerskates biffing each other? I think that's basically it.
And you didn't think to invite me? You said last night that you were looking forward to spending the day with your vegies.
We better go.
We're gonna be late.
We'll invite you next time.
Alright.
Good.
(BELL TRILLS) Coby! Hey, Jules.
Um, Dave said you might have a few more business cards somewhere.
Uh, yes.
Why? Did you lose yours? No, I gave them all away.
All of them?! Yeah.
And I believe we got a bit of work out of it.
Yes, we did.
Well done, you.
Did Dave tell you about the contract with Gordon Weaver? Yeah, nice one.
I gave him a card too.
But I suppose I can't really notch him up as one of my catches.
Well, yeah, it didn't hurt.
Sospare cards.
Um, did I leave this here? Uh, no.
That's a cabbie I've been using a bit lately.
Are you serious? Yeah, why wouldn't I be'? This is just some cabbie's card? That's what you reckon? Yes, because that's what it is.
A very nice cabbie.
(EXHALES) You don't know who this is? Well, his name's Matt.
Why? His name is Matt Jennings.
That's him.
That's my uncle.
Dave's brother.
JULIE: This was more than a coincidence.
(EXHALES) Matt, the cabbie? Yeah.
You're pulling my leg.
No, no, no, no.
It's the same guy.
Coby insists it's the same mobile number.
It's him.
Butthat's just ridiculous.
Yeah.
What are the chances'? Oh, I don't know.
A billion to one? Diddid he know anything about us'? Well, don't you think he would've said something? Who knows'? Who knows anything? Um So So, what? Wellhe seemed like a nice guy.
Are you gonna meet with him? After my track record with the Jenningses'? I don't think so, Jules.
Oh.
I don't think I've got room in my life.
I'm just gonna focus on my dream.
JULIE: Things happen that we plan and some things come out of nowhere.
Fate, coincidence, chance, destiny- maybe it's all in the way we choose to deal with them.
SONG: I've done all the dumb things.
What do we want? DONNA: Uma salad.
J U LIE: (NARRATES) Is coincidence just chance Ah.
BOTH: Prawn salad.
(LAUGH) JULIE: (NARRATES) .
.
or is it part of some grand plan? We can't both have the same thing.
Oh, why not? Well, no reason, I suppose.
OK.
Two prawn salads it is.
Ooh! BOTH: And chips.
(BOTH LAUGH) JULIE: (NARRATES) Yes, coincidences can be tinyor life changing.
A chance meeting with someone who could end up playing an important part in your future.
(ROCK MUSIC BLARES) Ooh! (WHISTLES) Ooh, impressive.
Mmm.
Yeah, a little something I learnt when Ben and Nathan were going through their wrestling phase.
No, you just stick your fingers like that (I YRES SQUEAL) Whoa! That's a hell of a whistle you've got there.
I could hear you over the radio.
Oh So, now you've got my attention, where can I take you? BOTH: Home.
(BOTH LAUGH) First mine, then hers.
Yeah.
Uh, I'm good with directions but you might need to give me a little bit more than that.
Oh.
Don't tell me - you're in a band.
Oh, what gave it away? I think I know the signs.
Yeah, sorry about the gear.
I had it in the boot but I had to make some room for my mate's drum kit.
You caught me dropping it off.
Are you allowed to do that'? Oh, what the owner doesn't know won't hurt him.
So, what sort of music do you play'? Urban country folk rock.
How can you be urban and country at the same time? Come to a gig sometime and find out.
(CHUCKLES) He knows how to spruik.
I'm a cabbie.
I know everything about everything.
So did your husband or boyfriend teach you to whistle like that'? Uhit was my dad, actually.
Oh, right, right.
So can your husband whistle too? (GIGGLES) Yes, she's married.
Happily.
Oh, Jesus.
Some guys get all the luck.
I'm not.
Married, that is.
Unhappily or otherwise.
(LAUGHS) Work together? Nope.
She your big sister? No, only child.
Yeah.
Yeah, I got that vibe.
What does that mean? Well (LAUGHS) Well, you can't have gone to school together, unless you were several years below.
Oh, oh, very kind.
But no.
('DUMB THINGS' BY PAUL KELLY PLAYS ON RADIO) Oh, now, I like this song.
No kidding? I love it too.
BOTH: (SING) In the middle In the middle In the middle of a dream I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings I've done all the dumb things (BOTH LAUGH) Oh, our house is just on the left.
The yellow clapboard.
I like it around here.
Good spot for families.
Yeah.
It's been good for ours.
There you are.
OK.
There you go.
Keep the change.
Oh! Beautiful AND a generous type.
(LAUGHS) Thank you.
You're welcome.
Good luck with the band.
Hey, we play every Wednesday at the Legacy.
You should come along.
You can even bring your husband.
Oh! Or leave him at home.
(CHUCKLES) Hey, next time you need a cab, call me.
Your own personal driver.
Just like a limo, only half the price.
Oh, thanksMatt.
I might just do that.
I'm Julie.
Great to meet you, Julie.
You too.
Bye.
Catch you.
(HORN TOOTS) ('DUMB THINGS' CONTINUES PLAYING ON VAN RADIO) JULIE: Yes, the world can be a very small place.
The coincidence of meeting Matt was just the start.
Heâ heV» heV! Come here! (LAUGHS) om Oh, Mrs Chatfield just rang.
She needs her porch light fixed again.
Is it in the job book? Uh, yes.
With all the otherjobs.
You could stop now.
Yeah, I will.
Soon.
You smell nice.
Liar.
Mmm, you feel nice.
Good lunch, was it? Yeah.
Nice to just drop everything and enjoy yourself.
Mmm.
You should do it whenever you can.
Yeah, I should.
Right now I can't.
Oh! You know what they say about all work and no play.
Yeah, today you got to play, I got to work.
I wasn't gone that long.
Sorry.
I'm glad you had a nice time.
We need more space, Jules.
OK, well, we'll get some.
What, a new premises? I'll need to fix a lot of porch lights before that can happen.
Well, darling, something will come along.
(SIGHS) It will.
I better log this.
OK.
(SIGHS) Well, I'lldo the mail.
Yep.
Great.
Love you.
Oh, I need to get Dave out of the house.
Put a smile on his face.
(CHUCKLES) He ought to read this magazine.
It'd have him in stitches.
(READS) 'Ohm Sweet Ohm - Linear Resistors in Domestic Circuitry'.
(CHUCKLES) I guess bad puns is how they try to make it interesting.
Mmm.
There's heaps of them.
'REVOLTING Kitchens - Your Guide to Rewiring'.
'Oh, Watt a Night - The Annual Award Night Creates a Real Buzz'.
Hang on, an electricians' awards night? Oh, I doubt this lass complies with health and safety, the way she's holding that fluoro tube.
Actually, there is an industry awards night every year, isn't there? Well, it's not the Oscars, love.
Well, no, but it's still a night out.
Yeah, well, âI'd like to thank my apprentice Coby âfor only stuffing up half the time.
â âAnd my beautiful wife for taking extra-long lunches âwhile I slave away.
" Yeah, well, you've been both working hard.
You might be right.
This awards night might be just the spark you need.
(CHUCKLES) JULIE: Dad may have stumbled across the very thing I was looking for.
Was that more than just coincidence? NATHAN: There.
BEN: Hey, taste that.
Hey, no.
Wha How'? Just bite into it.
I'm not eating this by itself.
That is horrible.
No, it's not.
It's beautiful.
Look at it.
It's a tomato.
Seriously, growing your own vegetables - you guys should get into it.
Although, technically, a tomato is a fruit.
Mmm.
I know something else that, technically, is a fruit.
Yeah, I love you too.
Tell you what - we are so in sync.
What? Yeah, I went to call Retta and she was already calling me.
It happens all the time.
You guys call each other 200 times a day.
Sooner or later, it's gonna sync up.
Don't you believe in small, everyday miracles? BEN: What are you doing here? Weren't you just on the phone? I just wanted to make sure he was home.
See'? You really are connected.
I think it's magic.
She's right.
There's stuff that happens between us nobody could explain.
Oh.
Eugh! I can tell if it's Carbo calling by the sound my phone makes.
Mm-hm.
Yeah, my phone does that too.
It rings.
(SNIGGERS) Yeah, but with Carbo, I can tell.
Of course you can tell.
You guys only call each other.
My phone doesn't stop, mate.
He means social calls.
Admit it.
You guys have no social life.
Um, I chat to people all day.
Uh, what people? Tina.
T (LAUGHS) Tina? Tina, who you work with? Yeah.
And some of the customers are very nice.
That doesn't count.
You guys live in your own world.
This little Carboretta bubble.
So'? We've got each other.
That's all we need.
Right, babe'? Hey.
What they're saying is I don't have any friends.
You've got friends.
Tina.
OK, Tina is great, but it's true that we never do anything outside of work.
Well, let's all go for dinner.
Why don't I have more friends? What is wrong with me? There's nothing wrong with you.
You're perfect.
You're still kind of new in town.
It's hard meeting new people.
It's easy when you're little.
If you're the same age, you're friends.
It's automatic.
Yeah, when you're 27, people think you're kind of weird if you walk up and say, âHey, you want to play?" I should invite her over.
You should.
In fact, I should have a dinner party.
That way, Ben and Nathan can meet Tina and see that I do have friends.
Yeah.
Or a friend.
Who's fantastic.
Great idea.
And then they can invite people.
That's what grown-ups do, isn't it? That's right.
Hmm.
(CLEARS THROAT) Hi.
I'm Retta.
Would you like to come to my dinner party? Who could say no to that'? (GIGGLES) (SHOWER RUNS) Jakey? Come on, mate, I'm busting.
(KNOCK AT FRONT DOOR) Oh! Jakey! BREE: Hello? Hello? (KNOCK AT DOOR) Oh, coming! Come in, come in.
Thank you.
Yep.
I'm not stopping long.
Yeah.
I haven't seen you in a while.
I know.
Look, I just came to tell you that you're never gonna guess who I met up with today.
JAKE: His name's 'Boots'? Yeah.
Well, it might as well be.
He played seven seasons for the Snappers, never once owned a pair of footy boots.
Ha! How does that work? Oh, you know, bare feet, sneakers.
Sometimes he'd borrow a pair.
He played this one semifinal in nothing but thongs.
(CH UCKLES) And you know him how'? Ohit's a long story.
Can of open worms everywhere.
I'm just going for one drink and then I'm outta there.
School night and all that.
Are you OK'? Hey? That's a chick question.
Next.
âOne drink.
It's a school night.
" Yeah, well, I guess I'm getting used to living with me nanna.
(CH UCKLES) What's brought this on? Oh, well, nothing.
I just want to fire on all cylinders at work.
I owe Dave.
Well, you've got nothing to worry about.
Dave's happy.
You're doing a great job.
No, it's not that.
It's I should have said something earlier aboutTom.
Look, yeah, but you came clean in the end.
Yeah, maybe.
Hey, if something else came up family-wise - nothing bad - do you think I should tell him? I don't know, mate.
Depends on what it is.
I mean, Dave's got a pretty full plate at the moment, you know.
So pick my moment, you reckon? Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
OK, now, your first instinct will be to say no You don't know that.
Trust me, I do.
I think we should book a table at the Masters Electricians Trade Awards.
Uhno.
But it could be fun.
And expensive.
No, it's an investment.
I don't think so.
Well, you've never been before.
Forking out hundreds of bucks for a boring night never seemed like a good idea.
It's a great way to get the business a bit more out there.
Those nights are for seriously big operators, guys who do entire grids for office towers or light the Harbour Bridge.
So it's the perfect place to make good contacts.
I'm no good at sucking up, Jules.
It's called networking.
It's out of my league.
That's not true! Anyway, just think of it as a night out.
A party.
And if you happen to rub shoulders with some movers and shakers, then where's the harm in that'? When is it? Tomorrow night.
You've already bought the tickets, haven't you? So that's it, then.
You could've just told me we were going.
Look, if you really don't want to go, we don't have to.
But it'd be a waste of six tickets.
Six?! I booked a table.
Are the boys in on this? No, I haven't asked them.
But if you're going, so are they.
You know, it's cute how you're still asking me, like I get some kind of say in this.
Well, you're the boss.
Yeah.
I am the boss.
Just leave everything to me.
So there I was in her spare room, totally starkers.
(LAUGHS) What did you do? What any man would've done.
I wrapped myself in the curtain and legged it.
(LAUGHS) So, anyway, tell me more about these Rafters.
Ah, well, you've heard about Dave, your half-brother.
Yeah.
Bloody Tom.
Whoever knew'? (MOBILE PHONE RINGS) Matt speaking.
Oh, hi, Matt.
It's Julie, from today.
The whistler.
Oh, yeah.
I drove you home.
I remember.
Did you change your mind about coming to my gig? Uh, no.
I was just hoping to book you for a lift tomorrow night.
To the city.
Uh, yeah, tomorrow night.
Yeah, not a problem at all.
What time? Uh, 6:30.
Um, 17 Randall Street, Carss Park.
See you then.
OK.
Bye.
Who was that'? You know that blonde I told you about? Yeah, the hot older woman.
Yeah, she needs a lift tomorrow night.
Oh, so she's a good sort, then? Yeah, there's definitely something about her.
So, anyway, these Rafters.
Go on.
J U LI E: Coincidence had put us on a collision course.
FEET-FA: Nathan! You know my friend Tina'? Friend? Yes.
Friend.
Anyway, I think you two would be great together.
Togetherwhere? At my dinner party tonight.
You're both coming and I think you would make a lovely couple.
Tonight'? Oh, mmm, I'm going out with Coby.
Well, great.
Get him to come here too.
No, we can't 'cause we'rewe're Ben! You'll be here for dinner tonight, won't you? Probably.
Why? I'm having a dinner party.
Great.
Who's coming? Uh, well, there's you two No, I can't make it.
I'm busy.
Plus my friend Tina.
She is amazing.
You'll love her.
Uh, she'll pair up with Nathan.
And then if you bring Emma, that makes six.
Perfect.
JULIE: Hello! Yep, in the kitchen.
Emma might be busy.
Ooh, Nathan.
Great.
I need you tonight.
We've got a very important work function and you're coming.
Since when do we have work functions? It's the METAs.
The what? The METAs.
It's the electrician industry awards.
The sparky's night of nights.
Ho! Sounds like fun, Nathan.
Yeah! Yeah.
I can't.
I'm going out with Coby.
That's right, because he's coming too.
I got tickets.
You didn't say you had tickets.
I didn't know.
No, well, I only booked them last night.
So how did you know you were going out with Coby'? Yes, Nathan, how did you know'? Because he's coming to the METAs too.
(LAUGHS) And I'm sorry, Retta, but Nathan's locked in.
Locked in.
To the METAs.
The sparky's night of nights.
Sounds great.
It will be.
So I'm off to get some new business cards.
(SIGHS) Well, that is a shame.
But I'm locking you and Emma in for my dinner party, yes? Name tags.
Tina has got a shocking memory.
Retta's night of nights.
(MOUTHS WORDS) (LAUGHTER) Will you look at that'? My name on a business card.
Nice work, Mum.
These are great.
Oh.
Are you sure Dave wants me there? Yeah, of course.
Why not? Oh, no reason.
Yeah.
Oh, it's probably not your idea of a good time but it will mean a lot to Dave.
And there are free drinks.
I'm there if these guys are.
I'm happy to.
Oh, me too.
No, seriously, I am stoked.
Yeah, great.
Coby, um, remember, the dress code's formal, so Yeah.
I'll think of something.
Yeah.
Good.
Also, it's a table for six, so one of you should bring a date.
Over to you, Jakey boy.
Well, who am I gonna invite? Natho? It doesn't have to be a DATE date.
It's a little late notice, that's all.
We've only got a few hours.
Oh, well, it'd just be nice if I wasn't the only woman on our table.
Ah.
Well, we'll do what we can.
Yes, well, I'm sure one of you will find someone.
Ahh! (CHUCKLES) Alright, enough with the cards.
Who's in your little black book? I am gutted I lost that Laura chick's number.
Who? Watch girl.
She seemed like the sort of girl that didn't say no to much.
Careful! You are talking about the woman I love.
(CHUCKLES) Whatever happened to your hook-up from that night at the Cross? I don't know what you're talking about.
The tall one.
Deep voice.
Adam's apple.
That's very funny, Coby.
Who was this? Nobody.
(LAUGHS) Petra, I believe her name was.
And, uh, she was pretty hot.
For a bloke.
(LAUGHS) I didn't hear anything about this.
'Cause there's nothing to tell.
Oh, are you sure about that'? Come on.
We're mates.
We're not gonna judge you.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
I went home with a transvestite.
I just forgot to mention it.
Can we just move on? (BOTH LAUGH) Hey, what about that chick from a couple of weeks back that you shagged in the broom closet? Oh, not exactly a long-term thing.
Well, Julie's right.
One of us should be able to find some sort of available female.
NATHAN: Not me.
Or me.
Well, that's a bit sad, eh? BOTH: Bree.
(SIGHS) It's your call, boys.
I hate stuffing chickens.
It feels wrong.
Well, just leave it to me, then.
I'll do it.
No, no, no.
I'm here for you, babe.
Nothing's too much trouble.
Even shoving mangos up a chook's bum is no drama.
Thank you.
That's alright.
Hey, I'm really excited about tonight.
I can't wait to meet Tina.
I can't wait either.
You will love her.
She's a friend of yours.
Of course I will love her.
So have you called Emma yet'? Yeah, I left a message.
So you still don't know if she's coming? No.
She might have plans.
Oh.
OK.
But Tina's coming, so it still might work out OK.
Yeah.
You and Tina might really hit it off, Benno.
You know, she is a great girl.
(LAUGHS) Funny.
And very, very pretty in her own way.
Sure.
You just can't let her breath put you off.
I'll be honest, it's bad.
But it's a medical condition.
What is? Halitosis.
And she's very, very self-conscious about it.
I bet.
Just don't breathe in when she's talking to you.
That's a trick I learnt from my Uncle Con.
Yeah, I have some lavender oil at work and I just put it on the tip of my finger and when she's talking to me I go like this.
As long as there's a table in between us, I should be OK.
You'd be surprised.
You know what? I'm just excited to meet someone with breath so bad there's a medical name for it.
I could've sworn we still had a boxful of the old ones.
Yeah, well, the old ones are pretty basic.
These ones are much better.
I bet they cost a bob.
They look like it.
Actually, no.
What, a couple of hundred bucks? No-one likes a scrooge.
No, they were cheap.
Like you.
Anyway, they're tax deductible, so if you don't feel like networking, they can stay in your pocket.
The main point of tonight is to enjoy ourselves.
What, have fun'? Mmm.
Yeah, something like that.
I'm sorry, Jules.
I should be thanking you.
A night out on the town.
Great.
Aww.
Let's do it.
Got your speech all prepared? Oh, he's always got a speech prepared.
Hey! Who says it won't be you in a year or two accepting your award? 'Best Light Globe Change'? And thanking your wife for being so brilliant.
Ha! Never say never.
A lot can happen in a year.
Just have to think positive.
Exactly.
And hand out a few of these.
Party our socks off.
Rock'n'roll.
Heywhat do you reckon? (SNIGGERS) It's not bad, eh? That's what you hired? No, no, not hired.
They wanted 100 bucks.
I own this baby.
No, you were robbed.
And lose that thing around your waist.
Yes, I thought so too but it's attached to the pants with these clips.
I can't get it off.
Well, do you want me to try? No, no, no.
You might tear it or something.
Are you kidding? You reckon you'll wear this again? Give me a go.
I haven't seen one of these in years.
(LAUGHS) I don't know why you think you're gonna be better at this than me.
I tried for ages.
Unclipping difficult items of clothing is a gift of mine.
Oh, you dirty dog.
Hold on.
This is gonna be harder than Ithought.
Oweee.
OK.
(G R U NTS) Whoo.
Whoo.
Whoo! Hello, boys.
Not interrupting anything, am I'? I was just trying to get this off.
Well, you know, whatever you want to do in the privacy of your own home is no business of mine, but there's a cab waiting, so Well, our secret's out now, Jakey.
What do you think of my suit? It'seither really cool or really not.
I can't decide.
Well, it works for me.
(CHUCKLES) Hmm.
An invite from my brother.
I don't get one of those every day.
It could even be a good night.
Yeah.
You look great.
Oh, thank you.
Um, just to get things straight, we are'? Mates.
Right.
(HORN BEEPS) COBY: Come on.
Let's go.
People, these free drinks are not gonna scull themselves.
Come on, darling.
Dad wants to get a photo.
Can you see my socks? What? No.
I've got one blue one, one black one.
I couldn't find a pair.
No-one will notice.
Come on.
TED: Come on, come on.
Bunch up together.
Big smiles.
Say 'odd socks'.
ALL: Odd socks.
(SHUTTER CLICKS) Ha-ha.
There's one for the pool room.
I think I should change them.
No! No, Dad.
They're fine.
Come on, let's go.
Have a good night.
I'd better get back to sleeping beauty.
Oh, Dad, if you have any trouble with Ruby, just, um She'll be fine.
You kids go off and enjoy yourself.
Thanks, Dad.
Maybe we should just go to the pub for a counter meal and a few drinks.
Just you and me.
(LAUGHS) Look at you, big spender! Ready to give up a prepaid meal and an open bar? At least I'd have you to myself.
MATI": Evening, madam.
Oh! Ah! Thanks, Matt.
Uh, and you must be Just call me 'sir'.
Oh, good to meet you, sir.
I'm Matt.
OK.
What's with the cabbie? Oh, he is a lesson in the value of using a business card.
Hmm.
J U LI E: Coincidence? Or was the universe trying to tell us something? ('BURN' BY JESSICA MAUBOY PLAYS) Dave, I don't know how to thank you.
This could be the best night of my life.
OK.
Righto.
Hey, do you want me to grab those? I can hand them No, no.
We just take one.
Just Oh, yeah.
No, I've seen this.
Cheers.
Flash do.
Oh, hang on.
Take one of these.
Coby Jennings.
That's my name.
No job too big, too small.
There's me.
Thanks to all of you for coming, especially at such short notice.
I just wanted to say a few words.
Um, look, you're a great team to work with and I'm really grateful for all that you bring to the job.
I know I enjoy coming to work every day and I hope you feel the same.
Oh.
That'sthat's it.
My one and only speech for the night.
Well, nice one, Dave.
And I wouldn't have stuck around so long if I wasn't happy.
Yeah.
To Dave.
Great bloke, great boss.
Hear, hear.
ALL: Cheers.
Hey, Dave, there's something I've been meaning to tell you.
I kept my mouth shut too long about Tom, so I should have told you this earlier.
But I didn't think you wanted to hear it.
Coby, slow down.
What is it? Your brother's in town.
Oh.
What? My brother? What brother? Coby Half-brother.
Tom hasn't told you this? No, he didn't.
OK, well, I'm telling you now.
Um, Bree and I saw him last night and he is a great bloke and now he's here and now you know.
Wellwell, you really know how to pick your moment, don't you? Yeah, no kidding.
Well, you know, no secrets, right? Yeah, well, thanks for letting me know.
Let's have a great night, eh? You alright? Hey, I've got a brother who's in town.
Yeah.
It doesn't mean I have to meet him, right? Oh, Dave.
No, I'm alright.
Look, we're here to party, right? We've got a prepaid meal and an open bar.
Solet's party.
BEN: Thanks for coming at such short notice.
EMMA: Thanks for the invite.
Something smells delicious.
Oh, hello.
Hi, Emma.
I'm so glad you could make it.
We're just waiting on one more.
My friend Tina.
Please, take a seat.
CARBO: Want a drink? Yeah.
I hope she isn't lost.
You gave her the address, right? Yeah, of course.
But the GPS she got off eBay has a mind of its own and sometimes just sends her round in circles.
I might just check she hasn't texted.
OK.
Perhaps she's stopped for mouthwash.
Oi! No jokes.
That was the deal.
It's a medical condition.
Right.
Can I ask? Oh, it's nothing.
Retta's friend Tina who's coming tonight, she's fantastic.
You're gonna love her.
But she suffers from 'hello toasties'.
It's a breath odour issue.
You mean she's got halitosis? Yes, that's it.
And her name is Tina? Yeah.
Not Tina Crabic? How did you know that'? I went to primary school with her.
She had odour issues even back then.
What a small world.
Yeah.
Old Tina Crab-bag.
I'm gonna call her right now.
Wait till she hears that you're gonna be here.
Of course, your panel board's got to have overcurrent protection.
Yeah, actually, I really should be getting back.
But if your system bonding jumper is installed, you can't connect your EGC.
Yeah.
Your neutrals will be a problem.
There you are! It's a fascinating Ah, hi.
I'm Julie.
Nice to meet you.
Roger Wiseman.
Wise man.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
(LAUGHS) Your wife must be getting really thirsty.
Oh, yeah.
Don't worry, I'll be right back.
Sorry I interrupted.
Yeah, I told you, I'm no good at this networking.
COBY: Hey, Dave! Look who I found.
Oh, I think I might need a top-up.
Yeah, grab me one, would you? Yep.
G'day, Dave.
What are you doing here, mate? Uh, I thought I'd finally get along to one of these things.
Oh, well, that's good.
Good on ya.
Mate, you wouldn't catch me at one of these things unless I was up for a gong, you know'? Right.
I've been to a couple of these and the novelty's wearing off a bit.
How is that office job going'? The one we pulled out of.
Oh, Taylor Street.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The other mob got it done.
It was a day ahead of schedule, I recall.
Yeah, I'm sorry again for leaving you in the lurch.
Nah, nah, nah, nah, forget it.
Look, sometimes I wish I was still doing things your way.
You know, just keeping it simple.
How so'? Well, you know, pulling out the pliers and stuff.
I mean, I'm spending all day in suits talking to developers and councils.
Actually, we're thinking of expanding a little bit.
Oh, that's great.
But, you know, don't say I didn't warn you, mate.
You've got it good.
You get to spend more time with your family, you're working with a great small team of mates.
Yeah, I'm not complaining, I just thought we might nudge it along a bit.
Yeah, well good.
(JULIE CLEARS THROAT) See, mate? You always were a lucky man, Dave.
G'day, Jules.
Warney.
Fancy seeing you here.
Well, you've got to, haven't you, when you're up for the Golden Fuse.
The big one.
Wow.
Congratulations.
Yeah, thanks, Jules.
Uh, I'm actually a bit nervous.
Stupid.
It's just another dust collector for the office, right? Yeah.
Oh, look out.
There's Gordy Weaver.
He's got a big flour mill conversion on the boil and I think we're a shot at the contract, so, um, I'll catch up with you later, eh, Dave? Yeah.
Warney up for the Golden Fuse? How did that happen? Well, look on the bright side.
It just goes to show how quickly things can change.
Yeah.
Tina, will you stop apologising? I'm just worried about you.
OK.
But if you need to go to the hospital, call me, yeah? We can drive you.
Keep me posted'? Let me know how you're getting on.
Bye.
What happened? Tina's stuck on her couch with an ankle that's swelling up like a pumpkin.
How did she manage that'? Fell in the shower.
Slipped on a loofah.
(ALL GROAN) CARBO: Oh, unlucky.
That's the dinner party ruined.
I'm so sorry, Emma.
Please don't apologise.
I just hope she's OK.
Poor Tina.
I seem to remember she was always accident-prone.
One school excursion, we went to an urban farm and she was hit on the head by a watermelon.
Don't they grow on the ground? I know.
Yep.
Sounds like Tina.
We can still enjoy ourselves.
Come on, I'm starving.
Yeah! Right, right.
Yeah.
There's no point moaning about it.
OK, let's eat.
Yes.
I am not serving that.
It doesn't look that bad to me.
It's a disaster! Dial a pizza? (SIGHS) Hey, it's just dinner.
It's not worth getting worked up over.
(SNIFFS) It's not the dinner.
Hey, talk to me.
Why don't I have any friends? You do.
Tina.
If she wasn't so clumsy, she would've been here ages ago.
We've moved around too much.
There is no-one I can call to go see a movie or hang at the beach with.
It takes time to start in a new place.
I haven't even been able to tell anybody that we got married.
Ben said there was another one of these in the fridge.
Yeah.
Would you prefer if I went home? No, no.
You don't have to go.
Unless you want to.
No, I don't.
I'm looking forward to this dessert.
Look, this might not be the right time but after we eat, I was going to suggest some games.
Maybe charades? Is that really daggy? (LAUGHS) No, that's a great idea.
I'm terrible, but I love it.
Me too.
And it really only works in pairs, so, you know, five would've been an awkward number anyway.
Ooh, excuse me.
Hello! Oi! What are you waiting for'? Let's go back in.
That chick from that show on the telly - she's about to sing.
Well, what about Bree? Yeah, she knows the way.
Oh, tell me you've moved on.
What? Bree.
Been there, done that.
Yeah, of course.
It was a one-off.
It's never gonna happen again.
Righto.
So why were you watching her getting chatted up by that dude? I'm not.
There's no way.
Let's go.
OK.
Move on.
Alright! ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for a very special young Boat.
'Jaws'.
'Titanic'.
'Big Fish'.
Hmm, hmm.
'The Boys'.
Mm-mm.
'Dumb and Dumber'.
BOTH: Hey! Mmm.
TV show.
Mmm.
Hey, you said it was a film.
Mm-mm.
You did.
You said it was a film.
Shh! Mm-hm.
Mmm.
You and me.
Mm-hm.
Mmm, mmm, mmm Retta and Emma.
Who's heard of a show called 'Retta and Emma'? 'Friends'! Did you say that because you think we're friends? Eh, mimes don't talk.
We are friends, though, aren't we'? Ll guess so.
Well, is that the answer? No, it was 'Twin Peaks'.
Wow.
You really are terrible at this game.
I know! (LAUGHS) OK, my turn.
OK.
Two words.
Yeah.
First word.
Wrist.
WARNEY: I was honestly not expecting to win this, especially after I spewed on Clinchy's shoes last year.
Cheers.
Oh, I could use one of those myself.
There's a bit too much hot air in there for me.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
Good on Warney, though, for bringing home the big one.
Golden Fuse.
You know Warne? Mmm.
Guilty, Your Honour.
You could say I gave him his start.
Well, his second chance, anyway.
You've got a lot to answer for, then.
What do'? Well, what's the reason he brings his jobs in so cheap and on time? Corners.
He cuts them.
Yeah? Well, he didn't learn that from me.
Yeah? A recent job he did for me, subcontracted, it's a total bloody nightmare now with the tenants.
Which job was that, out of interest'? It was a city job.
Those offices down in Taylor Street.
Right.
I'm Gordon Weaver, by the way.
Dave Rafter.
Oi, no, no.
Dave, give him your card.
That's what we're here for.
No, no, no, no.
Alright, at least take mine.
Best boss in the world, this bloke.
Thanks.
I'm getting a beer.
That's a helluva suit.
Yeah, he doesn't get out much.
(LAUGHS) J U LI E: Coincidence? Golden opportunity? Well, I should get back in there.
Good to meet you, Dave.
Yeah.
JULIE: Or none of the above? What? That was actually fun! (GIGGLES) Yeah, thanks for the night.
I had a great time.
It's good of you to say so.
BREE: No, I did.
I really mean it.
Oi, that was awesome! Those tradies know how to party.
Hey, good feed too.
I'm not gonna need to eat for a week.
JULIE: Thanks for coming.
Goodnight.
Thank you.
(CHUCKLES) Night.
Next year, we're gonna win two Golden Fuses.
Night, guys.
Night! DAVE: It was good to see what I'm up against and great to get the whole team together, you know'? What, you mean you wouldn't come back next year? Why would we'? Do I really want to change things? I've got things pretty good.
Yeah, you do.
Yeah, we all do.
Yeah.
You're a brilliant dad and a very sexy husband.
Thank you.
And 1O Golden Fuses couldn't change that.
(CHUCKLES) What a huge night.
Yeah, you're not kidding.
Apparently I have a brother.
Ooh, you're cutting it fine.
But I made it.
Of course I did.
You booked me.
Mmm.
So are we heading home or are you out to celebrate winning some big award? No, we're just waiting for Nathan, then we'll head home.
Yeah, we weren't up for any awards.
Oh, next time, eh? Plenty more important things to worry about.
Yeah.
Yeah, plenty.
Hey, I tried to write a song about all this awards stuff once.
It's called 'Pointy Statues for Pointy Heads'.
But I couldn't find anything to rhyme with 'ARIA'.
(CHUCKLES) on.
NATHAN: Sorry! Sorry.
What, you're a songwriter? Yeah, yeah.
Believe it or not, driving a cab isn't the dream.
Dave was in a band once.
Really? Oh I thought you had a bit of that old rock-dog vibe.
Oh, yeah, well You know, we were just a few mates mucking around, really.
Yeah, yeah, us too.
But we'd really love to have a crack at making a living out of it.
Yeah, well, you should go for it.
Don't want to end up with any 'what-ifs', do you? No, you don't, darling.
Do you? Too right.
You've gotta be in it to win it.
Yes.
'Starrier'.
Hmm'? Rhymes with 'ARIA'.
(CH UCKLES) Oh, that's not bad.
Why didn't I think of that? Alright, what rhymes with 'purple'? BEN: You did well tonight.
EMMA: What do you mean? Well, Retta's a bit of an acquired taste but you made a real effort.
No, I didn't.
I like her.
She's fun.
Not when you have to live with her.
(LAUGHS) She's a bit eccentric.
That's cool.
And she's got a good heart, don't you think? Yeah.
Yeah, she does.
So, I guess I'll see you at work, then.
Yeah.
Thanks for coming.
You really, umyouyou see the good in people.
That's nice.
Oh, don't believe the hype.
I can be a bitch when I want to be.
(BOTH CHUCKLE) Night.
Goodnight.
(LAUGHS) DAVE: I mean, when you think about it, having a big business doesn't end your money worries.
Uh-uh.
In a way, it adds to them.
Bigger payroll, more overheads, bigger risks.
You know, big operators, they go to the wall just as quickly as us small fry.
Mmm.
And I've got my health, got my family - more family by the week, it seems.
Mmm.
And I've got you.
Mmm.
Yes, you do.
But it's like you yourself said to Matt.
Oh, Matt again.
Should I be worried'? No, darling.
He's a nice guy.
But it's like you said to him.
You don't want to spend your life wondering âWhat if?" You don't care if I'm no captain of industry, do you? Darling, that's not even a question.
If you're happy, there's a fair chance I am too.
You've just got to figure out what you want.
Oh, well, we can't get anyone there until Thursday.
OK.
Well, we'll call when we're 3O minutes away.
My pleasure.
Bye.
Another booking? Yeah, that's the seventh call this morning.
What's going on? Well, it seems that Coby's a born salesman.
What, this is all on the back of last night? Mm-hm.
Ah, fantastic.
Maybe the night was worth it after all.
Yeah, well, they're mostly pretty small.
That was one of the waiters from last night.
He can't fix the light on his mum's oven.
Someone's gotta fix Mum's oven light.
It may as well be us.
Yeah.
And you never know where things will lead.
Yeah, true.
(PHONE RINGS) She might have trouble plugging in her vacuum cleaner as well.
(LAUGHS) I'm just gonna grab a quick shower.
OK.
Dave Rafter Electricians.
Oh! Uh, yes, just a second.
He's here.
Gordon Weaver.
(CLEARS THROAT) Gordon.
Yea Uh, a meeting this morning'? Yeah, II'm sure I can do that.
What's up? Oh.
Sounds interesting.
No, that's not a problem.
I'll, uhI'll see you then.
Yep.
OK.
(HANGS UP PHONE) THE Gordon Weaver from last night? Yeah.
He heard that I passed on the Taylor Street job, admires honesty and wants to talk to me about a flour mill he's converting.
(GASPS) Not the one that Warney was talking about? Yeah.
Maybe the good guys are gonna get a break after all.
Oh! This is huge, Jules.
Well, you'd better get a clean shirt on.
What amazing luck, getting chatting to him.
Yeah, it was.
And none of it would've happened if it wasn't for you.
Oh! Thanks.
You're welcome.
So, huge? Huge.
(LAUGHS) Clean shirt.
Shower.
J U LI E: Running into Gordon Weaver - happy coincidence? Da ve's next surprise might prove to be more of a challenge.
Ooh! (DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES) (JULIE GASPS) It looks like we're going to get very busy! No! (LAUGHS) I take it the meeting went well? It was just a formality.
They basically offered me the contract as soon as I walked through the door.
Oh, that's amazing! Yeah, it's amazing.
And it's big.
We're gonna have our work cut out for us.
The time frame? It's manageable.
Darling, this is brilliant.
This is exactly what you were looking for.
It's a kick-start to the big-time.
It's a far cry from changing light bulbs.
Oh, well done.
You made this happen.
Thank you.
I'm gonna go tell the lads.
Oh, go.
They'll be thrilled! I think someone might have their spark back.
(CHUCKLES) Oh, who let you in'? Retta.
Have you seen my 'Black Russian's? Yes, Ben, I have.
Oh.
Do you want to help me dig some weeds? No, not really.
Fair enough.
Give me a minute.
I'll put the kettle on.
I could use a break myself.
So are we ready to go? Go'? Yeah.
Me and Retta thought we might go check out the roller derby at Eastgardens.
You and Retta? Yes, Ben.
You don't get Emma all to yourself.
Roller derby? Isn't that girls on rollerskates biffing each other? I think that's basically it.
And you didn't think to invite me? You said last night that you were looking forward to spending the day with your vegies.
We better go.
We're gonna be late.
We'll invite you next time.
Alright.
Good.
(BELL TRILLS) Coby! Hey, Jules.
Um, Dave said you might have a few more business cards somewhere.
Uh, yes.
Why? Did you lose yours? No, I gave them all away.
All of them?! Yeah.
And I believe we got a bit of work out of it.
Yes, we did.
Well done, you.
Did Dave tell you about the contract with Gordon Weaver? Yeah, nice one.
I gave him a card too.
But I suppose I can't really notch him up as one of my catches.
Well, yeah, it didn't hurt.
Sospare cards.
Um, did I leave this here? Uh, no.
That's a cabbie I've been using a bit lately.
Are you serious? Yeah, why wouldn't I be'? This is just some cabbie's card? That's what you reckon? Yes, because that's what it is.
A very nice cabbie.
(EXHALES) You don't know who this is? Well, his name's Matt.
Why? His name is Matt Jennings.
That's him.
That's my uncle.
Dave's brother.
JULIE: This was more than a coincidence.
(EXHALES) Matt, the cabbie? Yeah.
You're pulling my leg.
No, no, no, no.
It's the same guy.
Coby insists it's the same mobile number.
It's him.
Butthat's just ridiculous.
Yeah.
What are the chances'? Oh, I don't know.
A billion to one? Diddid he know anything about us'? Well, don't you think he would've said something? Who knows'? Who knows anything? Um So So, what? Wellhe seemed like a nice guy.
Are you gonna meet with him? After my track record with the Jenningses'? I don't think so, Jules.
Oh.
I don't think I've got room in my life.
I'm just gonna focus on my dream.
JULIE: Things happen that we plan and some things come out of nowhere.
Fate, coincidence, chance, destiny- maybe it's all in the way we choose to deal with them.
SONG: I've done all the dumb things.
