In court, you can't make a judgment until you've heard all the facts.

Oh, Chris, don't eat it, don't.

Oh!

Show it.

Show it.

What are you doing? He's a mate of mine. What?

This is Arrow.

He's borrowing my amp for a gig.

And your DVD player.

Right.

Matt said it was cool.

Oh, sorry.

We're playing the next couple of nights at the Legacy.

I'm putting these guys on the door. I can get you in, too, if you'd like.

We'll see how we go, eh?

Alrighty.

Thanks again for the line.

Kobe. Good to meet you, mate. Yeah, no, I'll see you tonight.

Too easy.

Out of court, we're a lot quicker to judge.

Hey,

pick one up.

Hot off the press. Must be near the food section.

Do they have a food section? Yeah, you know, where they write up local cafes

things. Oh, here it is.

Oh, look at that.

By Julie Rafter.

Oh, it reads well.

Yeah. How's it feel? I've seen your words there in print.

Well, I don't know. They're not my words.

Eh?

Well, I've kept the name of the tapas bar, but... Angus didn't say anything?

Adam. No, he said he made a few tweaks, but there's barely anything of what I

wrote left.

Must have been terrible.

Rubbish. Exactly.

It was your first go.

Dave Rafter? No, it was terrible and Adam was just being nice.

Well... Maybe they ran out of room and they had to trim it down. You know, I

don't want him to be nice. I want him to be honest.

I mean, I spent all day on that. I agonised over it and now it's all

But never mind that.

Now you know why journalists drink.

Yeah, thanks, Dad. That's great.

Awesome, thank you.

Well, we landed the Hillman contract.

Oh, Dad, that's great.

Congratulations. Good on you, mate.

Yeah, it's a pretty big job.

I don't think Harrow will forget you in a hurry. What was I supposed to think?

This is what you'll do to make an impression, Jackie.

Jake Barton.

So this amp's actually going to work, right? It's not just going to cut out

halfway through his solo.

What do you mean?

Well, you know, Harrow's getting radio play and you're driving a cab. It's

to hurt.

I'm happy for him.

I tell you, come.

No,

I can't.

I can't do this at the moment.

Who was that?

Tally Marker.

Bull, chick or blood.

You're up, mate. Come on. Mate?

Who was it? Oh, look, it was just someone from ages ago.

Oh, don't make us beg. Oh, fine.

It was Jim Barton.

Rello?

It's me old man.

Dead sad.

When was the last time you saw him?

Since he shot through, I was about four.

What does he want?

I don't know.

I tried to reconnect with this last year when Mum got remarried.

Yeah, what happened?

Alex wouldn't have a bar of it, so that was the end of it.

I'd made my mind up, and there wasn't a single thing he could do to change it.

I thought you had coins ticked this morning. I felt better once I got to

Don't worry.

How can I not worry? It's like the fourth day in a row that you've been

up.

Sounds serious.

No, not at all. I think I caught it off Tina.

She's been sick too.

Didn't you tell you Tina's brain to anchor with a kite flying accident or

something? Come on, keep up. She recovered from that and now she's got

mystery virus.

She thinks she caught it off her auntie.

Yeah, the one with all the cats.

But you don't work with Tina anymore.

That's true.

And you haven't seen her in ages.

That's true too.

So how did you catch it off Tina?

By chewing one of her pencils.

Yuck. Yeah, she left it here after the Pictionary one night when you were at

work and you were out.

I don't go out.

Getting pizza.

Oh, okay.

I don't know. Sounds a bit sus to me.

I know, right? You just couldn't make this stuff up.

Oh, well, whatever it is.

I'm a derver in my power to get you better, starting with mine.

Famous chicken soup.

This needs my full attention. You guys have to go. Come on, out, out, as you

He's been arranging dervers. The pollen makes them strange.

I'd be acting strange too if my wife had been spewing every morning.

So are you pregnant?

What? No, I told you, it's a mystery bug.

The only mystery is how you managed to convince Carver you caught a virus from

pencil.

All right, so the Tina story was a furphy.

Read out.

Look, I just didn't want to freak you boys out, that's all. Why would we be

freaked out?

Because it's girl stuff.

Like periods and things.

Yes. Yes, I sometimes throw up when it's that time of the month.

Particularly if it's a heavy flow. Okay, that's enough.

Let's never speak of this again.

Sure don't want to come?

No, I'm good. Oh, you're all right. Harry might take you out to a

Last chance. Frankie and Shana coming?

No, say hi to them for me.

All right. Find a way. All right.

Oi, did you order a cake? No.

G'day. Hi.

I'm looking for Jake Barton.

I'm Jim, Jake's dad.

How did you know his address?

Phone book.

I'm Matt. This is Matt.

Open. Nice to meet you. Yeah, we were just on our way out. Yeah.

Uh, Jake, I need to speak with you.

But if this is a bad time, I... No, it's okay.

You sure you don't want to join us?

No. You're right here?

Yeah.

Look, I know this must be hard for you. Don't worry about me. You just say what

you've got to say.

I've got cancer, Jake.

They say it's in my bones.

And I've been thinking about you all the time.

Alex, too.

I don't expect you to forgive me. I just don't want to hear it.

I shouldn't have come.

Look, if you change your mind...

I'm

sorry.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Easier said than done.

Because you can't be wrong.

You can't be the guy who goes down, baby.

You can't be wrong.

You can't be wrong.

He is a great guitarist. You reckon?

Nah, it's all a fix.

Oh, Bruce, you got him. You are. You're a jealous. Admit it. Who do you get such

a funny notion?

Okay, who's up for a drink? Oh, I thought you'd change your mind, mate.

You okay?

Oh, what'd your dad want?

Oh, just to see me.

What did he say?

That's it.

That's what he said.

So it's a pretty full -on thing in my father's mind.

So you're okay?

Yeah.

It's just...

He looked... Oh, I don't know.

I don't know what of him.

Come on, Chad, who wants a beer?

Here, take it.

Hey, what's going on?

Shh. I told you, it's just...

Just that time of the month.

Do you want me to get Carbo? No.

That's the whole problem.

I had our five -year plan all worked out.

Get our careers on track, buy a house, then think about a family.

Now it's all out of whack.

Because you're pregnant?

I think so.

You think so?

I can't be 100 % sure. I mean, on some of those, the second line's a bit faint.

Look.

Did you pee on all of these?

Yeah, twice.

Carbo hasn't tweeted?

Not even close.

I didn't even know you guys were trolling. We weren't. I got food

night after I took the pill.

The scallops at the Rollers seafood buffet have ruined my life.

Why do you guys keep going back there?

Because it's Carbo's favourite place on earth.

When are you going to tell Carbo?

I've got blood tests to make sure, so I've got the results this week.

Why wait?

He'd want to share the excitement with you. I'm not so sure he'll be excited.

Carbo's five -year plan is for the Swans to win another flag.

Ever since I've known Carbo, he's always talked about having a house full of

kids. Carbo wants kids that will pop out and play soccer with him. He's not

ready for nappies and teething and no sleep. He's a big kid himself.

That's a bit harsh.

Oh, thank God you two are awake. What happened?

Lobster nightmare.

Again? That lobster's freaking me out.

I need some warm milk.

Some Tim Tams.

All right, who's up for a nightcap?

No. Nightcaps.

Oh, come on.

You don't know what you're missing out on.

Don't let your old man mess with your head, all right?

Yeah. Why is it taking him this long to take you down?

Night, mate.

Night, mate.

Cobes was right.

Too little, too late.

That's the only judgment call I was going to make.

Oh.

Oh, here he is. How are you?

Grease is good. Cheers.

What's your secret?

I have the metabolism of an elite athlete.

Yeah, right.

Has anyone seen my keys?

Why don't you leave them in the same place?

Oh, you're like, you're such a creature of habit.

Yes, well, I am.

I knew I hadn't eaten it. Here they are.

Here they are.

Is that what I think it is? Um, that shouldn't be there. Sorry.

Oh, that's why you bounced back so well. Harold gave it to me for lending him my

hand. Yeah, Jono and I used to smash it on those every weekend.

Really? And you have never mentioned that in all the time I've known you.

there's nothing worse than people banging on about their drug use.

All right, maybe not every weekend, but, you know, twice a month.

For sure.

I tried it once.

I thought it was ecstasy. I thought it might have been aspirin.

Maybe you should put that in your room. Oh, mate, look, consider it gone.

Completely gone.

Come on, we're late.

Good

afternoon.

Sorry, boss. Traffic was a nightmare.

You just live around the corner?

You all right?

Yeah. Just had a rough night's sleep.

You know how he is when he's lost one of his stuffed toys? Yeah, it took us

hours to find a little whammy.

I'll turn up there tomorrow and I won't go so easy.

What's so special about tomorrow?

We landed the Hillman contract.

Nice one!

You're going to need me? Yeah, if you're up to it. Absolutely.

They're a massive company. They'll be keeping their eyes on us, so do me a

favour and don't turn up smelling like a brewery.

See, I told you, we should have straightened ourselves up with air

And you wonder why you haven't got a girlfriend. Oh, now, now, he's just got

high standards. How many codes? Of course he does.

Speaking of which, try these on for size.

Oh, hey, Frankie.

Official. I'm backing out now.

Nice.

Well, no, it sounds amazing, but I'm meant to be helping Dave out today.

Can I call you back?

Great, thanks.

What's going on?

Oh, I called Adam to apologise for giving him so much extra work.

He should be apologising to you.

changing things without consulting him. Oh, no, only because it wasn't up to

scratch. What, he said that?

No, no, no, he's far too tactful for that.

He just said I need practice, which is why he's offered me another chance

running up a cafe around the corner from the paper.

When?

Today.

Oh, Jules, any other day would be fine, but I've got so much to organise for

tomorrow. Who's going to look after the telephone? Yeah, no, I know, I'll let

him know.

Well, I can man the phones, and the boys can cover for you if you want to be

Julie's date. Oh, that'd be great.

I don't know, Jules, I've got so much to sort out.

Well, at the very least, you could go.

Well, if Ted's willing to help out, then... Thanks, Ted.

Well, I'm sure you'd do a great job. I hope so.

Better call Adam back.

Yeah, you do that.

And tell that boss of yours if he upsets you again, he'll have me to answer to.

I will. I won't be long.

You going backwards, mate?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Um, you might want to go a bit easy. He's a bit out of sorts.

Well, what happened?

His dad dropped round, Sam.

His dad? Are you sure?

Apparently.

Really? How'd it go?

Not great, I guess. The coping strategy seems to be drink to forget.

Keep an eye on him for me, would you?

What, you want me to spy for the boss?

Yeah, something like that.

Are you ready to order?

Sorry?

Are you from the paper?

Oh, well, yeah, Adam. The lady from the paper's here.

No, it's not a big deal. Fine, I've been expecting you. Terry's done a whole new

menu. You'll love it.

We hope so. It's been enough on the ad to go with it.

I'll just get you some water and a menu.

Thank you.

I thought you'd gone to work.

What are you doing?

Um, I took your advice.

Called in sick.

I've got a doctor's appointment.

Oh, that chicken soup didn't work?

A bit. I just don't want to pass it on to anyone else. Oh, poor baby.

What are you looking for?

A lucky red socks.

Um, uh, are these them?

Oh, you're a lifesaver.

And, uh, put the pillow down your top.

Oh. Doesn't matter if you're putting on weight, you know. Just love you to love.

I get plenty of rest, okay? And it's heaps more chicken soup in the fridge.

Great. Yeah. See you tonight.

Bye.

Avoid the salmon mousse.

Are you checking up on me?

Just getting a coffee. Oh. Thought you would have bought someone.

Well, Dave was too busy and thought it was a bit short notice to ask anyone

else. Sorry to hear that.

No, no, no. I'm not complaining.

Then you're top of my list.

Even after my last effort.

Julie, don't be hard on yourself.

You know, I failed my year 10 spelling test.

Oh, really?

Yes. I still freeze on phenomena, thank God. Spell check.

Listen, if you have got a few minutes, can I pick your brains?

Yeah, sure. Just don't pick too hard. I haven't had my coffee yet.

Am I hopeless?

I tinker with everyone's work, Julie.

This was more than a tinker.

Yes, but at least it's still this side of open -heart surgery.

Listen,

if I didn't think you were up to the challenge, I would not have hired you.

Really? Absolutely.

And this thing here, it's not really a review. It's just, it's a puff piece to

go with a head.

So please don't tie yourself up in knots over it.

Right. Okay, thanks.

We're good?

I can have my coffee now?

Oh, all right.

Thank you.

There's still time, you know.

What?

To meet Julie at the cafe.

Yeah, I know, Ted, but I just... You know, knock it back to free feed, a

would have to be mad. Look, I'd love to, but I'm just a bit snowed under here.

Mate, once this Hillman job starts, you're not going to get a chance to nick

for a lunch.

Well, now you put it that way.

You sure you're all right here?

Absolutely. Thanks, mate.

After electrical.

Now, who would have thought you could make chips out of polenta?

Yeah, they're very good. I mean, but anything deep fried automatically makes

taste 50 times better, don't you think? Sure.

Here she comes. Now, whatever you do, do not make her laugh.

So, how's that coffee, Adam?

Perfect. The right blend of froth and heart palpitations.

So, are you ready to order, mate?

Oh, well, I don't... This is just as much to choose from.

Get one of everything.

Are you joking?

I don't know. Was it funny?

There you go.

Evidently it was.

So, did you know he was a reporter in Berlin when the war came down?

Really?

I'll give you guys another minute.

Wow.

Must have been incredible.

It was.

Euphoric. But then sad that it wasn't built in the first place.

I'd love to go to Berlin.

Oh, it's great.

Changes by the second.

G'day.

Dave, hi.

G'day. I'm Adam.

Julie's editor. Oh, um, yeah. Dave, Julie's husband.

I thought you had too much work on. Ted reminded me it'll be the last chance I

get to sneak out to lunch for a while.

Dave's just done some work on a big new development.

Congratulations. Thanks.

Adam was just telling me about his time reporting in Berlin and the wall coming

down. Right, right.

Well, we just fixed a fridge in Cobra.

I'm going to leave you guys to it. May I help yourself to the menu, anything you

want? Oh, that's very generous. Thanks.

Julie, can you get that piece to me by tomorrow?

Yeah, sure.

See you later.

Bye. Bye.

I hope I wasn't interrupting.

Oh, of course not.

Potato. No.

You look a little bit less like death.

Thank you.

So it didn't go well then.

What's that?

A meeting with your dad.

He's sick.

How sick?

Cancer.

Oh, Jake, I'm sorry.

Oh, don't worry about it.

It's not like he's been around.

Yeah, but he's still your dad.

It doesn't feel like it.

How do I know he's telling the truth?

Why would he lie about something like that?

Because he wants something.

Yeah? To see you?

Yeah, well, his track record's not that good.

Like, I don't know anything about him.

Nothing.

I can't even begin to imagine that. My dad and I, we were really close.

He died recently, didn't he?

Yeah.

Cancer. Sorry.

Sounds really corny, but he was my hero. Like, always used to make jokes at the

worst times and... I miss him lots.

Listen, I know he bailed on you, but what have you got to lose by finding out

his side of the story?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

He can't just walk back in and play the sympathy card and expect me to forget

what he did to us.

Yeah, but maybe he's not expecting anything. Maybe he's changed.

Well, maybe he hasn't. Look, I've made my decision not to go there.

He can't force me to change my mind just because it suits him.

Yeah, but cancer, Jake, it's a pretty big wake -up call.

If you don't see him now, you might not get another chance.

In court, you're given the benefit of the doubt.

But Frankie was right.

Before I could make a decision, I needed more evidence.

Drake.

Hey.

It's great to see you, mate.

Come in.

Sorry. Nothing fancy.

Oh, it's fine.

So, your mum said work's going good?

Can't complain.

Is that what you've always wanted to do?

Sparky.

Oh, I can't.

And you work with your girlfriend's father?

She went overseas. We're not...

Seen each other.

That's right.

Great. Didn't mention that.

So, how's the rugby going?

Don't play anymore.

Oh.

So,

do you follow any sports?

The horses.

They follow other horses.

I suppose I should clean up one of these days, but I don't get many visitors.

I have had a few cracks at sharing the mess, but it always ends up the same

Me wanting my own space back.

There's no half -brothers or sisters I should know about? No, no.

No, probably for the best, considering.

Um, Alex got himself a girlfriend.

Girlcast.

Really?

You still can't think of him as a normal guy, can you?

Last time I saw Alex, he was two.

Strange to think of him getting amongst it, that's all.

Right.

I don't even know what he looks like.

You wouldn't have a photo by any chance.

Not on me.

I'm going to make some coffee.

How do you have it?

I want one.

Might as well just go and get some milk. I don't know.

Black.

Black.

Black we can do.

How'd it go?

A good gig, being the plus one of a third critic. Oh, I'm hardly a critic.

That's true.

No, I just don't want to do a better job. I don't want to let Adam down.

You said he was incredibly supportive.

Well, he is, but I'm not a charity case.

I know he's your boss, George, but it is just one person's opinion.

Yes, well, he's a pretty important person. I'm surprised he's even taking

interest in me, darling.

Is he married?

He's divorced.

Why? I just want to know all the details before I pass judgement.

You've got nothing to be jealous about.

You said I'm jealous.

Anyway, better get a move on. Thanks for looking after things, Dad.

Been busy?

Steady, yes. I've written it all down.

Plus, I had my very helpful assistant here.

Now, where did I put those messages?

Do you remember who called?

There was a fella from the Hildman's mob.

Mackenzie? Oh, I'll give him a call.

And a new client called who's interested in a big fit -out.

Right.

That's what you're after?

Where was it?

On the kitchen table.

I must have left it there when I grabbed some lunch.

No drama sex recovery?

Well, they could still make the grand final.

You reckon?

Maybe we could go to a game sometime.

So, well, how sick are you?

Well, I mean, is there any treatment?

Nothing that'll make any real difference, no.

Less than a year, they reckon.

Look, Jake, it's been great seeing you again, but I'm pretty knackered. I'm

going to have to go to bed.

Oh, sure.

I'll leave you to it.

I'm wrapped you came around.

Will I see you again?

Maybe.

What are you doing back here?

Oh, it's... I'm sorry I was out of sorts today, mate.

No worries. Perhaps it's the best of us.

Um... My dad's back on the scene.

Really?

What's his story?

Well, he's crook.

He got cancer.

Mate, I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Things go all right?

Uh, well, not at first, but it kind of got better this afternoon.

You saw him? Yeah.

He wants a photo of me and Alex.

Yeah, well, he hasn't seen you in a long time.

What's the point in getting to know someone if they're not going to be

Could be better than nothing at all.

Thanks, man.

Ah.

Poor Jake. That must be so hard.

Yeah. I wonder if he went out and had a few drinks.

It's a shame I couldn't have reconnected under better circumstances.

Yeah, Jake doesn't know what to think. Yeah, I bet.

He's the one we get stuffed around, you know?

Well, I guess you'll have to find his way through the same way you did.

You okay?

Yeah.

Come on, Roobs. Let's go and have a bath.

Leave Mum to do her work.

So my prick of a dad had lied to me.

And that's all the evidence I needed.

Do you guys want to go out?

What, tonight?

We've got a massive day tomorrow, remember? We were just about to order

next day. All right, well, I'm heading out. A few softies don't want to go.

What's going on?

Have you spoken to Jim again?

I just want to get amongst it. There's nothing wrong with that.

Who are you calling?

Chad.

You seriously want to back up last night?

Yeah, I seriously do.

I'll drive.

Let me get my jacket. Yeah, good man.

Codes? Yes.

All right, but we need to take it easy. All right.

I'll see if I can get Frankie and Sean on board too.

Good? Yeah.

Yeah.

Let's do it.

Usually, it's just like... You're so drunk, I think you'd rock out to the

Wiggles. No, this is my second year.

Really? And what's going on with you?

Just starting to be here with my mates and my girlfriend.

Girlfriend, come on.

I can't believe I haven't noticed that before.

What?

Your eyes.

They have these amazing specks of colour in them.

Do you want to dance?

You want to dance?

Yeah, why not? All right.

Now he's going to freak me out.

So I know Jake's a happy drunk, but it's getting weird.

Do you think someone spiked his drink?

Oh, tell me you didn't take the pill that I threw out.

Oh, dude.

Oh, dude. What pill?

He's dancing. What do you reckon?

Wouldn't you wait until the weekend?

We've got to get this one home. Oh, I'd like to sleep anytime soon.

You're so beautiful.

Oh, thank you. No.

You mean, seriously?

You're the most beautiful person I've ever seen.

I'm doing everything with a zig -zag grain of salt right now. No, really, I'm

not lying.

I love you.

Okay,

let's go. Get some sleep, huh? See you guys later. I'll sleep when I'm dead.

Chewy.

I need to chew. He's got chewy. I don't have any chewy.

They kick on, boy. Oh, no, no, they're not going to happen. The Hillman job

starts tomorrow, remember?

Oh, yeah.

How awesome is this helmet job going to be?

Come on, mate. Where are we going?

Home.

Oh,

no.

Oi. Did you get any sleep, Bill?

Oi.

That's all right. We can cover for you at work. No worries. No, no, no. I'm not

calling in sick. Oh, Dave is not going to want you to turn up like this. He's

got a lot riding on this one. Go have a shower and a coffee, and I'll be fine.

You can't muck around with electrics and no sleep.

Oh, here's the taxi driver.

Why don't you just crash out and then come into work a little bit later? Just

get out of my face. I'm going to work.

Mate, we're just trying to help. Right.

If you're trying to help, then just back off.

Ready gone to work this morning?

No, no, she's gone to the doctor to get her blood results. Fingers crossed.

You know about that?

Yeah, of course.

And you're feeling hopeful?

Are you kidding? It's great news.

That's great, mate. I'm really happy for you. Happy for me?

Even if she hasn't caught the mysterious disease of teenage, it's still quite

serious. She threw up again this morning.

You're right.

What was I thinking?

I don't know. What were you thinking?

Well, you've been nagging ready to go to the doctor, so you must be happy.

Relieved, made, but happy? That's a weird thing to say, Benno.

You're hiding something from me. No, I'm not.

Look, what's really going on with Retta? Nothing.

You know something.

No, I don't. Not as much as you do. Some mystery virus that's making Retta sick

in the morning.

I mean, there's a lot of things that make you sick.

Could be any number of morning sicknesses.

Not the morning sickness, just being ill.

Before the afternoon.

Oh, God.

What didn't you say? What didn't you? Seriously, Carbot, it could be anything.

Sorry about the wait.

Take a seat.

Thanks. So, your blood results? You can't go in there with your hand on it.

We're in the middle of our consultation. Oh, no, no, it's okay. It's my husband.

What are you doing here? Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?

Because I wanted to wait until I knew for sure.

Well, in that case, congratulations.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

That's like the best news ever.

Really? Are you kidding?

Hey. Thank you.

Hey, can I have my wine?

I thought I had a baby or anything.

Yeah!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God. Where have you been? Yes. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Damn it.

I got it. Hey, why don't you head home? I'm sure Dave won't mind.

No, I'm fine.

Oh, thanks, mate.

Oh, it's pretty impressive.

Yeah, absolutely.

How's Jake go? Jake, great.

Doesn't look too good. Oh, I think he's still having a bit of trouble sleeping.

Might have a chat to him. I don't think he wants to talk right now. You know,

he's not much of a morning person.

Ah, damn it!

I'll have a pie with sauce, J .D.

You got good mates.

What?

Covering for you. What's going on?

It's not a bad night.

Have you slept?

Jesus, man, how many drinks did you have? You're sweating.

I can't believe you went and got pissed the night before a big job. Didn't you

hear what I said yesterday? Yeah, I wasn't just drinking.

What do you mean? I took a pill.

What?

Oh, come on, Dave. I think you heard me. Are you insane? What the hell were you

thinking? Well, right now, I have no idea. This isn't bloody funny.

Believe me, I'm not laughing. Man, I've seen what drugs can do, and if you want

to go down that road, you're a bloody moron.

I'm disappointed in you, Jake. What were you thinking? Dave, you're not my dad.

Just piss off.

Go home.

It was my turn to be judged, and there's no point pleading your case if you're

guilty of sin.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You can watch something else if you like.

Hey, guess what?

We're pregnant!

What? We're having a baby.

That's fantastic!

Congratulations. Thanks, my mate.

How far along are you? Six weeks, so we really shouldn't be telling anyone yet.

They're not reading you.

Really? Yeah, poor Ben was in the right place at the wrong time.

Is it the wrong place?

Is it the right... I channed out.

I don't want to go to work. I want to stay here and celebrate.

I've got to pick up something from next door, so I'll walk you out.

Congratulations again, guys.

That's amazing news.

Vaccine.

Do you think we can afford a baby?

Of course we can. I've got a second job.

You don't have to do that, but we just might have to cut back on a few

Anything for me and me.

I mean, me and us.

I can't believe I'm going to be a dad.

I'm going to call Mum.

Not yet.

Sadly, I don't think it's going to write itself just by staring at the screen.

Oh. No, I'm not cut out for this. It's taken me all day to write 500 words.

Actually, 412 words.

When's it due?

Don't remind me.

Okay, I'll leave you to it.

Hey, no, no, no. Are you okay? I'll come back later. No, no, no. I need a break.

What's up?

I'm giving Carbon Redder some space.

Oh, why do I need space?

If I tell you, you're not allowed to tell anyone.

Of course.

Redder's pregnant.

Oh, that's great.

I didn't know they were trying.

They weren't. She took the pill just before she got food poisoning from the

-you -can -eat seafood buffet. Oh, why do they keep going back there?

I just can't believe they got pregnant so easily.

Mel and I were trying for months.

That's really selfish, isn't it?

No.

Not at all.

Sent off my piece about the cafe.

That's good.

Adam just texted back.

And?

He was really happy with it.

That's great. Congratulations.

Yeah. He was impressed by the way I'd taken on board with the bike.

Right. And he's funny, too.

Shouldn't have been the way he egged on the waitress. You know, the one that

snorted. Jules, I'm not interested in joining the Adam fan club.

Oh. Sorry.

Darling, look.

I know you're disappointed in Jake. That's one way of putting it.

Yeah, still, it's pretty out of character for him. Maybe I just never

Oh, hardly.

You know better than anyone how confusing it is to suddenly have your

in the lab. What, so I should just let him take drugs before work because he's

having a tough time? No, of course not. You should have seen him. He was all

over the place.

Some of the things that he said.

Like what?

Darling, I wouldn't take anything that Jake said this morning to heart. Look,

he's my most experienced worker. I'm his boss and I expect better from him.

Yeah, and he should know better.

Hey.

Sounds like he needs your support right now.

Jay?

You haven't changed.

You know, I should have trusted my gut from the start.

What? My life was fine without you, and then you come back and everything's

turned to crap.

What happened? Where's this coming from? No, no, no, you can't cram 25 years

into whatever time you've got left. Mate, come in, we'll talk. No, no, no,

no, no, no!

No.

There's no more time for talk, don't you get that?

There's no more time for anything.
