Expectations. We all have them.

The sun will come up every morning.

If we're friendly to people, they'll be friendly back.

Morning, Mrs Chan.

And a coffee run to the corner.

Should be no problems at all.

Hey, mate!

But that's the thing with expectations.

No guarantees.

Tom,

got a theme yet?

Oh, um, no, no, it'll come to me.

You've had all week.

Are you trying to make me nervous?

Did I mention I'm a professional writer now?

Once or twice.

Oh, of course not.

What's so special about today that we're getting shouted breakfast? I just

thought it'd be a nice way to welcome Frankie.

Oh, funny. I don't remember Jake getting the five -star treatment when he

started. Or Kobe, for that matter. Well, you know, we were a smaller operation

then, no frills, and now we can afford to treat our staff occasionally.

But nothing to do with the fact that she's a woman.

Just being nice, Jules. Don't start.

Oh, sorry, Ted. I, uh, yours got dropped.

Oh, don't worry, mate. I'll make myself a cuppa. Yeah.

Breathfeeding. How old is too old?

I'm probably not your target audience.

Nah,

it's been done to death anyway.

Hey, no pressure, but do you think you could squeeze in some invoicing between

your professional writing duties?

Yes, darling. Ruby to daycare. Finished off the column. Invoices. No problem.

Thank you.

See you soon.

Some expectations are easy to meet.

Well, sometimes the ones we have of ourselves can be that little bit harder.

Good morning. Hey, what are you up to?

Tape assignment.

The one on rewiring?

Yep. How's it going? You need a hand? No, no, no. All good. Piece of tape.

Thank you.

You're king.

No, just punctual. Early, you mean?

I thought you were going to meet us on site. What, and give Jake a head start

Frankie? No way.

He'd be out of the race by tomorrow.

Where is she, anyway? She's probably figuring out which colour tool belt goes

with her outfit.

Hey, none of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Show a bit of respect. She's your boss,

remember? Yeah, and we just treat her like everybody else. Well, doesn't that

mean taking the mickey?

He's got a point.

You know.

I'm not late, am I?

No, no, you're bang on time, actually.

Sorry, bit of a morning. Car issues.

No problem.

Bugging stuff up there.

Just got the basics.

Don't sweat it. You've got everything you need.

Um, you remember everyone else's names?

Uh, yeah. Jake, Kobe and Matt.

Frankie. Gotta say, it's gonna be nice having a pretty face on the job.

Matt, pack the van, please. Yeah, I'm all over it.

Look forward to working with you.

Don't mind him. He's harmless.

One word for it?

Anyway, would you like the grand tour?

Equipment and supplies here, tea and coffee over there, and the bathroom's

inside the house.

Easy. Oh, yeah, and don't worry. Julie has trained us all to keep the toilet

seat down.

And just shoot straight.

Well, one out of two ain't bad, so... Croissant?

And there's a flat white there. Four sugars, right?

Well, remember, it's a... Oh, it might as well do.

Croissant. Since when did we start buying croissants and doing coffee run?

You don't have to have one?

Oh, no, I'll have one.

Not only a competitive parent.

No,

it's not broad enough.

I want my first column to appeal to every woman.

And don't say shoes or shopping.

I wasn't about to.

You all right, Dad?

Yeah, why?

What if you've been somewhere else for days?

Look who's talking.

Yes, well, I have a 500 -word deadline to worry about. What's your excuse?

Oh, I'm just in a bit of a mood.

Shouldn't this one be off to daycare?

Oh, at the time.

Hey, when are you off?

Oh, right about now.

I suppose you'll be hanging out with Cooper again today.

I suppose I will be.

Van's almost loaded.

What's first up? There's an old house in Burwood. Cottonwine needs replacing.

Yep, that sounds pretty straightforward.

I don't know. The guy sounded like a bit of a grouchy bug on the telephone.

Maybe I can get you something else. No, no, no. Give me grouchy bugger. Nothing

like jumping in at the deep end.

All right. Grab your address.

Hey, Frankie.

You into rock and roll?

Yes, I think I've heard of it. Might even quite like it. Yeah?

Well, I'm playing with my band tonight if you want to come along.

Oh, yeah? You any good?

Well, I offer a money -back guarantee and have never refunded a cent. That's

because your gigs are free, dude.

Yeah, well, that might have something to do with it.

Um, thanks, I've already got plans. Oh, right, with your boyfriend?

No, girlfriend, actually.

Girlfriend, as in...? As in no penis.

All right, well, um, bring her along. Legacy Hotel, nine o 'clock. Sure, I'll

ask her.

Cover you with Frankie today?

Hey, what? I thought it was with Jake.

He's got Matt, it'll work him here silent.

Okay. Whatever.

I'm driving.

So it's me.

Oh, no, no, no.

No, no, Jake, I've got it. It's fine.

Grab the green one.

Morning. Did you just get in? Yeah, stayed the night at Emma's.

Mate, you're always crushing on her place.

I mean, how come you guys never stay here?

I know, it's just the way it works out.

Well, it's not anything to do with me or Edda, is it?

Of course.

I don't know if you've noticed, but it can get really loud.

We're doing the wild monkey dance.

Mate, I've noticed, and it's not that.

Oh, good.

So what is it?

I don't know. It's complicated.

Hey, what's that for? You guys didn't get more goldfish, did you? No.

Then what?

Well, seeing Carbo and I are now responsible adults... Hey, Carbo, ten

because you can't get that on the air.

Predators, ten bucks, Benno.

Carbo, no.

As I was saying...

Seeing as Carbo and I are now responsible adults, this is a savings

house deposit.

Um, babe, remember the deal, okay? You said no house savings till you get a

Oh, hang on.

Did you... I got the job. You got the job? I got the job! She got the job! Did

you get a job? You are now looking at the new receptionist at Mostly Interior.

Oh, well done, babe. I knew you could do it.

Good on you, you little genius. Thank you, thank you.

Hey, so tonight we're going to celebrate in style, OK? We're going to go to that

snazzy French place and order some nice sparkling that works.

Or we could get burgers and chips and put the money we saved in here.

Are you serious? No time like the present. Pay up.

I've only got a 50.

Perfect.

Now, I've just got to find somewhere to put this.

Mr. Arthur?

Hi, we're from Rafter Electrical. You needed some rewiring done?

By you?

Correct. I'm Frankie, this is Kobe.

And you know what you're doing? Well, yeah. Absolutely. Kobe's the second year

apprentice and I'll be supervising.

I asked for electricians.

And that's what you got. So, if you'd like us to get started... Right, well...

There's no point in us hanging around out here.

Wiring happens inside the house.

Marshmallow, trust me.

Hello, Mr Taylor.

Oh, good morning, Alicia.

I didn't mean to scare you.

Oh, you didn't. I was just thinking.

What do you want?

I was just talking to Mr Taylor, right now, loud.

Where's your protective gear?

Don't need them.

Mate, it's going to be busy down there with school holidays on. Let's not take

any chances, OK?

Lovely weather we're having.

Yeah.

Nice day for the beach.

It is. It is.

My mum lives near the beach.

Really?

If you gave me some money, I could catch a train to see her.

Come on, it's only 20 bucks.

Alicia, we've spoken about this. I can't give you anything.

I just want to see me mum. Why can't you help me?

Because rules are rules.

I told you what I'd say.

Tell them you touched me.

And you'd be lying.

I'm sorry, Alicia.

I can't.

Okay, well, have fun with your friend.

Okay, I'm here now.

Great. How'd you go?

Well, still no thing, but I'm not panicking.

Much. Something was stuck.

What? No, I meant, how did you go dropping Ruby off at daycare?

Oh, that.

Well, I dropped a child at daycare. Pretty sure it was Ruby. You're not

with us today, are you?

Yes, I am. I'm here. I'm focused. What do you need?

This needs to get paid ASAP, otherwise the provider will... Will not give us

more stock. I know how it works. I'm on to it.

Okay, I might go and see how Kirby and Frankie are getting on.

I'm checking up on her already.

Yeah, like I would with any employee on their first day at work. If you say so.

I say so.

Are you sure everything's all right with you?

Yes. Of course.

I'm focused.

100%. Yes, hello.

Oh, yes.

Rafter Electrical. Yes, it is.

One sausage roll with sauce.

And strawberry, wasn't it?

I was sure you said strawberry.

I did.

Changed my mind.

Cheeky bugger.

Now, you never talk about your home life much.

Stop.

Is your dad home much?

No. He's always working.

And you and your sister get along?

Not really.

She's a cow.

Well, maybe she misses your mum.

Do you ever get to see your mum?

No.

Sure, I say she'll have us over, but she never does.

Dad won't drive us. He says it's too far.

How's it going?

So far, so good.

I finished up my job early, thought I'd give you a hand here.

He'll be pleased.

Mr Arthur, Dave Rafter, we spoke on the phone.

So you're the boss, I'm hoping. Yeah, that's right.

And you'll be checking through everything?

No. Well, what about that one? He's just an apprentice, isn't he? And with her

supervising? Yeah, well, Frankie's fully qualified. I'm sure she knows what

she's doing. Are you sure, eh?

How long has she been working for you? Actually, it's my birthday.

Yeah, but she has over ten years' experience. Excellent references.

You're missing the point.

She probably doesn't even know how to change a light bulb, let alone rewire my

house. Come on, mate, you're living in the dark here. No, no, no.

It's the 21st century. Yeah, don't I know it. Keep an eye on her.

Sorry about that.

Happens all the time. Don't worry about it.

Yeah, look, maybe I should finish up here. You don't have to put up with

like that. What? No, it's fine, really.

You've done the lion's share of the work anyway.

I want to finish the job. I'll knock it off. You just take the stuff back. My

life is going to be much easier if you just let me fight my own battles my own

way. I understand that. I appreciate your concern, surely. I do. But please,

just let me finish the job I started.

No problem.

Nothing. She's fine.

A new Sparky. You expect adjustments.

A few problems even.

What you don't expect is that you'll be one of them.

You've put one of your straps in the common terminal.

Working.

You see?

Yeah, but now the master switch has to be on for this one to operate.

It's no big deal.

Coby, can you please open up the other switch and change the straps around?

Why don't we ask Dave, eh?

He's only going to say what I'm saying.

Well, he's just outside, so why don't we ask him, yeah?

Sure, okay, yeah, let's do that.

Well, no, I'll do it your way.

But I still don't think it matters.

I think you'll find it does.

Do as the girl says.

You'll be pleased to hear we've made a pretty good start in here, Mr Arthur.

I'll be even happier when you're finished.

Actually, um...

That corgi in the picture there?

Yeah. What about her?

That's a Pembroke Welsh, isn't it?

What is it to you?

Oh, nothing except we're actually a pretty big corgi family.

I love them. They're really intelligent.

Yes. She was a beautiful dog.

Whip smart.

Was?

She died two years ago.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Sir, laser tag tomorrow?

Yeah.

I'll pick you up at ten o 'clock tomorrow.

You be ready.

No worries.

See you later.

See you, mate.

Alicia.

Just this once, okay?

Go see your mum.

Look, I know things haven't been easy.

Going around making threats isn't going to get you far.

Got me 20 bucks there, didn't it?

Just see your mum.

Might need more next time.

It won't be a next time.

Is that right?

Someone's keen.

It's just nice to see what's out there.

Yeah.

And look, it's only half a mil.

Might need a few more fifties.

Don't be so negative.

Carbo and I can do anything if we set our minds to it.

Watch it! There's a rat! Oh, yuck. Yeah, it came from there, went there.

Where? Behind the fridge. I think it's the dog.

What kind of dog?

What does that matter? Well, was it as big as a chihuahua or a Great Dane?

Because that would be the biggest rat ever. Yeah, but behind the fridge?

Good point.

Even chihuahua size would be pretty big though.

True. You guys just shut up and find it.

If that's you laughing, it's all your fault.

My fault?

Yes, the compost in the backyard.

Rat magnet.

What about your pizza boxes? They've got cheese all over the lids.

I've heard dog rats love cheese.

You're a liar.

Babe, babe, I can't see any sign of it. I think you see it.

No way I'm getting off this chair until you find it.

That's what happens.

Truth is, there's a lot of pressure for men to live up to certain expectations.

And no one likes falling short.

Hey, good work, mate. A little trickier getting the straps right on these two

-way switches.

So what's next?

I'm just going to finish the point in the kitchen.

Good stuff. Go for it. I'll be in a sec.

And, uh, how are you going?

Just about finished in this room. And Mr. Arthur, is he?

No problem. You know, I didn't mean to offend you before. The truth is I'd

up for any of my sparkies.

Have you got a pair of lutes?

I've got a couple of pictures here to show you.

Just give me a sec.

Everybody thinks corgis are decorative dogs, but do you know that they were

actually bred to herd cattle?

Now, see, that makes so much sense. Because when we were kids, our corgis

to chase us around nipping at our ankles. Well, they were just herding

I guess they were.

Hello, you.

What a nice surprise.

Ted?

I think I've done something really stupid.

Why didn't you tell the people at Great Mates the second she said something?

Well, I didn't take it seriously.

She's just a kid, for God's sake.

Yeah, but old enough to do damage, Ted.

Real damage.

Mud can stick.

And if it's your word against hers, who do you think they're going to believe?

Oh, you think I haven't been telling myself the same thing?

What am I going to do?

Call them.

Now.

Hopefully before she does.

Idea. Idea.

Idea.

Oh, oh, oh. I'm gonna make a list of things to do. Start at the top

and work my way through. When I finally find my way to the end, I'm gonna start

all over again.

Gonna start all over again.

Gonna start all over again.

about that job earlier.

Don't worry about the thing with the straps. It's an easy mistake to make.

Righto. I mean, when I was an apprentice, I made so many stupid

Not that I'm saying you're stupid.

How's your assignment going?

Yeah, all good.

I remember doing that assignment at TAFE. I found it pretty tricky,

Don't you have to meet your girlfriend?

No, no hurry. She's not coming around too late.

Oh. So you don't live with her?

Where'd that come from?

Forget it.

No, no, no, I'd like to know.

Isn't that what you chicks do?

Like, that joke?

What joke?

What do lesbians bring on their second date? Kirby.

Their furniture.

Yeah, oi!

Yeah, I don't mean to offend or nothing. I think it's kind of hot. Kirby. No,

no, no, Dave. It's all right. He's right. It is kind of hot. At least

what my lesbian friends tell me.

Oh, so you're not... But you told Matt you were bringing your girlfriend.

Mate, mate, I'd quit while you were behind.

Yeah, I am going to meet her, my girlfriend.

And you turned down Matt?

Yeah, you're right. I'd have to be going.

Kirby, can I see you inside of the house, please?

Yeah.

What are you doing?

Oh, I was just taking a break.

You've been doing some cleaning too, eh?

I might just leave you to it. No, no, no, you stay there. I want to talk to

Okay, well, I might just, um, go and change your jeans.

What was all that out there?

I just got the wrong end of the stick.

You've been acting funny around Frankie all day. What's the story?

What, did she say something?

No.

Look, I know you've got your issues around your mother and your sister.

But if this is about not wanting to answer to a woman, then you'd better get

used to it.

That's life.

Can I go now?

Yes.

Fresh start tomorrow.

I'd expected more of Kirby, but that's just a problem.

What you expect and what you get can be very different things.

Looks a bit small for a dog rat. All he's got to do is clear his foot.

Now I'll slow it down enough for you to whack it with a breath.

Me? Yeah, well, I can't do it. I'm going out for dinner.

Hey, Emma.

Hey. You'd better let me in. Hey.

What's with all the traps?

Oh, I saw a mouse.

It was a rat. Big one, too.

Okay, honey.

I'm ready.

You got some cash for parking?

Did you clean my wallet out? Oh, we're not parking.

Well, I'm not so brain with drive -thru. We're not parking because we're

catching the bus.

It'll save us $10.

Why can't we just drive like normal people? Because we...

A saving for a house.

Let's go.

Bye, Ben. Bye, Anna. Have fun. We will.

I think someone will.

Bye.

I didn't know they were buying their own house. They've saved $60.

I'm not going to start checking the rental age just yet.

So, what's the plan for tonight?

Well, I'm going to make you dinner and after that we'll watch a DVD.

Oh, what did you get?

Something romantic?

Oh.

Is this the one where the guy gets trapped by a rock? And amputates his own

But don't worry, it's supposed to be very uplifting.

Apart from all the screaming and bleeding. Apart from all that, yeah.

Ooh, that's not good.

Maybe a fuse blue.

You've got a torch?

Oh, yeah, I think it's one of the things.

Oh, Ben, watch out for that.

Traps.

Hey,

how'd you go?

Yeah, well, if there's a rat, that could be a problem. One of them could have

chewed through a cable.

Oh. How long will it take to fix?

I've got to find the brakes, so it'll have to wait till morning.

Fair enough.

Yeah, OK. Well, I'll leave you to it. See you. Thanks, Dad.

Hmm. Hmm.

So, uh, what do you want to do?

Well, with no television, no DVD player, not even a radio, we might have to have

an actual conversation.

I honestly thought I was doing the right thing. I know, Ted, but our guidelines

explicitly limit the kind of contact you can have with our kids' families.

But I only wanted to help.

I'm sorry to say you might have gone about it in precisely the wrong way.

We're now obliged to investigate.

Investigate?

Giving Alicia the money complicates matters.

But it proves my story. She was blackmailing me.

Either that or you were buying her silence.

Is that what you think?

Not necessarily.

Not necessarily? As I say, it's complicated.

What's that mean for me and Cooper?

You won't be able to see him until we complete our inquiries.

Inquiries?

You make it sound criminal.

Well, let's hope it doesn't get to that.

So what are you going to do when Carbo and Radha move out, whenever that is?

2050, the rate they're saving.

Truth is, I'll probably move out as well.

Lots of memories?

Yeah. Carbo and I used to run around this table like lunatics when we were

crashing into each other.

Rita must have loved that. Yeah.

Nico, Ben, calm down.

My leopard.

You break my leopard.

Wow, thank goodness it survived.

Basically a member of the family.

This Mel, of course.

Thought about moving out after she was gone.

Why didn't you?

I still felt close to her here.

I needed to.

She takes time, that's all.

We'll stay over here together one day. I promise.

Who was talking about staying over?

Carbo.

It's okay.

When you're comfortable.

When we're both comfortable.

Another one down.

Plenty to go.

Did you clean inside the cupboards too?

Just a quick wipe.

Hold on, here's the real test.

Aha, you've even cleaned the egg holders. It's official. You have lost

Okay, so I procrastinated. Yeah, well, next time you've got a column to write,

remember we've got a couple of grubby work fans in desperate need of a good

scrub. Oh, you're hilarious.

Did you get anything written today?

No.

Not a word.

Oh, you know what?

I'm not going to do this anymore.

Oh, it's not like you to give up. What ideas have you had so far?

Come on, Jules, tell me.

Well, there's been so many.

To dummy or not to dummy. The best playground.

Baby -friendly cafe.

Oh, they all sound good.

Cleaning tips.

And in my darkest hour, I even kind of started giving sex advice.

I'd read that one. Yeah, you should.

What? Anyway, I start writing and nothing excites me.

So what have I achieved today other than annoying everyone, missing work,

scrubbing the house? Meditating.

Neglecting Ruby.

Well, why don't you write about that?

What, bad mothering? Everything you went through today for nothing.

Oh, Dave.

It's kind of funny and everyone can relate to it.

You can't write a column about not writing a column.

It's different.

Darling, I love you, but only the stupidest thing I've ever heard. No

I tried.

Oh.

It's just...

I bet Carbo's still awake.

Why? The dark.

The rats.

He's such a wuss.

What's the time?

Oh, my God, Ben. Do you know what time it is?

No. It's half past two in the morning.

I have to get home.

you could stay here.

No, I should go.

I mean, you can always come to my place.

What if I said I want you to stay?

For us to sleep here tonight?

Only if you're comfortable.

I don't want you to feel weird.

Emma, we've just talked for eight hours.

It doesn't feel weird.

It feels right.

When I feel the...

Look at us.

Early birders.

Yep. You still working on your assignment?

No, no, no. I finished it days ago. I just read this to wind down.

That was sarcasm, right?

Well, it's a good guess.

Despite that, I'm still going to give you this.

What's this?

This is my assignment on rewiring that I did at Tate. You can use it as a

reference.

Well, is it any good?

You said you had a hard time with it.

Yeah, I struggled with the theory side of things in general. Yeah?

Yeah, which was even worse because my dad was a Sparky, so everyone expected

to be this star, and I just wasn't.

And I'll let you in on a little secret.

What? I got this from Kieran Frost.

He got it from Joga Belly, who probably got it from Thomas Edison.

Two conditions.

There's always a catch.

One, we go through it point by point so you understand everything.

And two?

Check your facts.

about people before you make assumptions in the future.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

Got a deal?

Yep, yep, we've got a deal.

We like it when people defy our expectations.

Of course, we don't always get what we bargain for.

Hey.

What time is it?

Almost 7 .30.

Oh, it's late.

Do you want some breakfast?

I have to go home and change soon.

I've got any this morning.

Well,

better get next door powered up before a carboat parks himself in front of our

TV.

What are you doing?

Hesitating. Jules, I loved it.

Yeah, of course you did. It was your idea.

Dad! He's gone.

I should get him to read it too.

Isn't it due now?

Yeah, okay, I'm sending it. I just might check it one more time. Go ahead, but

you can't improve on perfection.

Crawler.

Seriously, what happens next week? I can only write a column about not writing a

column one.

Come on, Jules, you haven't even sent this one yet.

Yeah, you're right. There might not be a next week after Adam reads this. Well,

does it matter? You're going to quit anyway.

Exactly. What do I care?

Oh, prove it. Send it now.

Well, you don't think I will do? All right, no, I'm pressing send in five,

three, two... What? Don't! What?

Thanks. See you, babe.

Thank...

Just

you hear...

Ah, the cavalry have arrived.

Hey, Carly, this is Frankie.

Told you the old man had it. Hi.

Nice to meet you. I've never seen a Sparky like you before.

Like me?

Yeah.

Frankie, can you look at the points in the kitchen? Ben will show you where it

is. Sure.

I'm not cracking on or anything. I'm married.

So that would say that being a Sparky is more of a bloke's job, that's all.

Yeah, no, no, I know what you mean. It'd be kind of like if a guy worked at a

florist, some would say that that was more of a woman's job.

No, it's totally different.

Yeah? How so?

What?

Frankie's just right here.

Somebody told her about my job, didn't they? I might have mentioned it on the

way in. What for?

Oh, no, making chit -chat.

Oh, well, next time make chit -chat about someone else.

You're making chit -chat with Frankie now, eh?

Yeah. She's all right.

You all right?

Look who I found at the front door.

Cooper.

Hello, mate.

Hi.

Cooper's here about your trip to Lasertag.

Apparently he waited for you for quite a while.

Didn't the lady from Great Mates contact you?

Audrey? I didn't believe her.

I'm sorry, mate, but it's true.

I'm not allowed to see you.

What?

Can't we just go to laser tag?

There's nothing I'd like more, but it's just not possible.

Please?

I have to follow the rules, and the rules say I can't see you.

You mean you don't want to see me?

I promise you, it's not that at all. Then why? Why aren't you allowed?

Just like everyone else.

Cooper! Just forget it. Cooper!

What's going on?

Dad, none of this was your fault.

I gave her the money.

What was I thinking?

Well, you're probably thinking you could help two kids instead of one.

Well, all I've done is let Cooper down.

He doesn't need this.

No, no, it's not right.

You've got to start thinking about yourself here.

What kind of world is it, Jules?

When things get so twisted.

You'd think I would have learned by now, wouldn't you? But I'm too naive, too

bloody stupid.

No, you're not.

You're a good, decent man.

And people know that.

Where are my chocolate chip biggies? We're going to start making our own.

Oh, come on, that'll take forever.

Are you joking, right? No, I'm saving.

$40 this time.

Oh, my God.

Oh, Jesus. I wonder how much we saved on electricity all that time.

Oh, Red, I can't take much more of this.

But it's like Earth Hour. Only we could do it every night. All good.

Crackage is finishing up.

Thanks, Dad. You're a legend.

Hey, did you find the rat?

No. That was the thing. No body.

It's got to be. No, but there was bones from dozens of others. Your rat must

have killed them.

Oh, it must be some sort of king rat down there. King rat?

I'm kidding, mate. It's fried. I saw it in the backyard.

How big was it? It was only a rat. Barely a mouse.

Oh, well, then my one must still be out there. Sure, mate.

Done and dusted.

Hi, thanks, Frankie.

No, I just tied it up. Kobe found the fault.

Yeah, my pay today.

Oh, speaking of which, what's the damage?

Oh, let's say 100 even.

What happened to mate's rates?

Cabo, what do you think that is?

Well, have you got 33 bucks?

No way, mate. You're the landlord.

Your responsibility.

He is right, Cabo.

Again?

No, no, I'm depositing. Oh, don't worry, babe. Put my girlfriend home and make

biggies.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Audrey.

Yep, he's here.

Hang on a sec.

Audrey?

Okay. Really?

Right, right.

I think it might be a case of too little too late, I'm afraid.

Yeah, okay, I'll give it a go.

Well?

Alicia's got form.

A teacher at her school made a similar complaint.

Well, that's good, isn't it?

Is it?

I mean, for you and Cooper.

But what happened to that poor girl?

Anyway, I've been given the all -clear to see him.

Mind you, I have my doubts he'll want to see me.

Well, you'll never know if you don't try.

Sometimes expectations and reality seem miles apart and how to change things

even further out of reach.

That there, you got it? Yeah.

It's done.

It's end.

You okay to drive again? More car issues this morning.

Yeah, sure thing.

Hey, um, thanks.

I hardly did anything.

No, just my whole assignment.

No, you understood what you were doing. You're better than you think you are,

Kobe. Really.

I might just check it again.

Okay, but don't take too long. I'll get the van ready.

I just heard from Adam.

And? He liked it.

Not loved, liked it, but... Oh, I can't believe it.

Never doubted you for a second.

Do I get a co -writing credit?

Oh, darling, I wrote it. Yeah, based on my idea.

Yeah, but anyone can come up with an idea. I'll remind you of that next time

you're cleaning out the fridge with a toothbrush.

Or you're thinking of saying no to a female sparking.

Dave?

Now that's what she wants.

Yeah, not when it's this bloody heavy.

Complicated, aren't you?

Where are we going? What are you doing?

Isn't this Nathan's room?

Not anymore.

I moved in.

How come?

I loved having you stay over.

I really did, but I've got to admit this morning it felt a bit strange.

But it won't in here.

This is my new space with you.

We can make some new memories.

Our memories.

No, no, no, my right. What? Honey, my right. What are you doing?

Oh, look what we're doing. Moving into your room. Yeah, it's our room now.

Yeah, what's the story?

Well, we realise it's going to take us years to save enough money for a house

deposit, and in the meantime, we need more space, so since this room's free...

Yeah, thanks, babe.

Don't mention it. Give us a hand. Not a chance.

Danny. Are you all right, babe? Sorry.

Okay, watch that.

Are you all right, babe? No, it's just me.

Well, that's...

Could I speak to Cooper, please?

You got me in trouble.

Alicia, I had to let great mates know. You gave me no choice.

Go away. He doesn't want to see you.

Cooper, if you can hear me, I just wanted you to know that I value our time

together very much.

And if you give me another chance, I promise I won't let you down.

Just call me or drop on by any time you like, Cooper.

Hope to see you soon, mate.

tag or what?

Let's go.

Are you still checking,

Matt? It's all wrong.

It looks right to me.

That switch should be the other way around.

No, that's right, Pete.

Job's done, David.

Any problems?

No, not a one.

G'day, G'day.

Hey, Frankie.

Missed you and your girlfriend at my gig last night.

Yeah, no, no, sorry about that. We kind of got a bit held up at home. I can't go

into details, but let's just say it was a really hot night.

Yeah? How hot?

Hot enough for ice cubes.

Isn't that a detail?

Yeah, and ice cream.

Lots of ice cream. Yeah?

No, I'm sorry. We watch Sex and the City, so I'm sorry to disappoint you,

am as straight as you are.

That is if you are. Debatable. I can't believe you're not a lesbian.

I honestly don't know whether to be happy or gutted.

Gutted.

Just wanted to remind you guys that this is a place of business. If you could

learn 12 rows, please.

Well...

Nice one.

Confident? Not at all.

You'll do fine. Thanks, pal.

No worries, buddy.

What we expect and what we get aren't always the same thing.

But so long as we keep our minds open, we might be surprised by the result.
