Jules, are you getting that?

Rats are electric.

Let's not play to our roofs.

Jules!

We've all got them.

Secret fears.

Those things we're so afraid of, we can't even admit them to ourselves.

Right there, Dave.

Dave, Dave, Dave. What? Dave, are you all right?

Bad.

Josie. Oh, sweetheart, you're not making sense.

We're a dream.

This was like a nightmare.

Yeah. Oh.

Darling, is this about facing Jake today? It'll be fine.

No, it's not that.

What? That doesn't help.

You know what? Just get some more sleep. Things will be better when you wake up.

Oh, no, my mind's racing.

I'd better get moving.

Would you want me to make you a cup of tea?

No, just grab an extra half an hour while you can.

It's just your standard battery.

Okay, okay.

Dave will be cool. He's already had his spray about drugs. It's ancient history.

It's not about that.

Plus, it was yesterday.

Who remembers yesterday?

Guys, it's not just about the pill thing.

Well, what then?

Oh.

No, it's not worth discussing, seriously.

It's me, Dave, Dan, and I can't say I blame him.

He'll come good, you'll see.

Yep, and if he doesn't, we can always call him a pill, too.

It's too soon.

I'm sorry.

Half an hour yet? Yes, I'm... You should see what you can get now. Your baby

Akedake t -shirts, baby muscle cars that can actually drive.

So, you're sure it's a boy? No, it's a girl.

Oh, Carver, I love you for wanting a daughter.

And I love you for being you.

I love you.

I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.

So, a daughter, huh?

Oh, you better believe it. I already ordered the pink Rattly toys and

pink grow suits.

I'll hold your head back while you spew because that's how much I love you.

Of course, tomorrow he'll be thinking it's a boy.

Things aren't weird between us, are they?

No, of course not. Why would they be?

The three little words? The ones we just heard a million times?

Should I not have said them?

No, no, it's not that.

It's all the baby talk.

You happy for them?

Yeah, yeah, of course. It's just so non -stop.

Thought of the next eight months. That's my heading.

Does that make sense?

Yes.

Well, look at you.

Photoshop.

That is not. That's me untouched. Come on, Shirley. You've had some work done

around the eyes. No, that's how I look. See?

Look.

I'm ten times cuter in the flesh.

Article's pretty good, too. Kids leaving the nest.

Hoping strategies.

What's the hysterical crying? It's a coping strategy now, is it? Yeah, all

right, enough.

Now, who's this fella?

That's Andrew, Julie's boss.

Adam, and the joke's getting a little old, Dave.

Good -looking fella.

Photoshop.

Clearly,

jokes weren't the best way to deal with my fears.

I'm so busy.

I've got so much on.

I've got to get through it, though. I'm going to squeeze in this catch -up with

Adam tomorrow.

Whatever that's about.

It's pretty vague on the phone.

If I've gone mad by tea time, just shoot me.

Maybe action was the way to go.

Oh. Oh, hello.

I'm not that busy.

Hey, you in there? I've got to get moving.

Come on, Pope. Get your ass into gear. Yeah, I'm just running a bit late.

What are you doing in there?

What are you... Painting the ceiling mould? No, chroming to take the edge

Oh, ten seconds. I'll meet you outside.

All right, I'm counting.

Uh, mate?

Jake?

What do you want?

Chat, maybe?

Well, I've got no time. I'm sorry.

I heard what you said.

I know it's hard for you, me, lobbing back into your life like this.

I don't want anything from you. Yeah, well, good.

I just want to know... So, so, okay, so you do want something.

What happened?

I thought we were doing fine. You came round, we talked, cup of coffee,

everything was good. And then last night, you got a head full of steam.

I've got to go to work.

I don't need this.

I don't get a chance to tell my side? Come on, mate. He doesn't want to talk

you.

It's like this.

I come round to your place.

You tell me you're crook and you need to lie down.

And when I come back later, you're heading out the door with your best mate

laughing and looking like you never felt better.

I did feel better.

I've taken my medication.

Don't.

You are the same selfish user who bailed on us years ago. And I'm not buying

into it.

Why would I lie?

Why did you run out on us? Why would you do anything that you do? I don't know.

Because I don't know you.

Jake. No.

Jake. Let's go.

Please.

That was a nice way to start the day.

Nice.

Very nice.

Got to keep that old magic alive, eh?

Hey.

Hey.

You all right to work today?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Just tell me what you need me to take out.

Those architrave switches?

Got them.

Here, I'll take them. I've got them.

Matt with us today?

Ah, no.

Stayed in the van. Thought it might be safer.

That went down well.

Look, Dave.

I really want you to know that I'm sorry for what I did. Yeah, well, look, it's

probably best we forgot about that. Move on. We've got work to do.

Sure. All right. Is there anything else you want me to take in? No, that's it.

Okay.

Okay, he's trying.

Like I said, probably best forgotten.

They're just words, right?

Why does everybody think they're so important?

I love you.

See?

Simple.

I like you, Emma.

I really, really like you. It doesn't have to say ring to it, does it?

OK, so what if I say it before I feel it?

I know I'll feel it eventually, I'm just getting in a bit early, right?

It's not a crime, is it?

You're no help.

Uh -huh.

Uh

-huh.

Would have helped if I'd remembered the specs.

You want me to go pick them up, please? No, it's okay. I've got to go up with

another couple of things.

I've just finished this cable run. You want to have a look at it?

No, you should know what you're doing.

Here, I've got it.

Sweet, don't even. I thought I had you guys trained by now.

Oh, you had. You have.

Yep.

You watching the game?

No, I've got tape work, but you're going, yeah?

Yeah, it should be a good one. I was wondering if you had time to drop around

our place beforehand?

Ten minutes, five even.

Sure. You need a hand with something?

Oh, more something I want you to take a look at.

Like what?

Oh, it's easier if I show you.

Hmm. Now you've got me interested. Can I have a clue? No, I can't explain.

So, are you coming or not?

Sure. Someone's round a little bit tight.

All right.

I'll drop past on my way.

Cheers.

We're after electrical.

Oh, Adam, hi.

What?

Sorry, I thought it was tomorrow.

Oh, no, things have just been really crazy around here.

I've just got all the accounts to do and... Uh, yeah, well, I might be able

leave soon.

Actually, you know, no, I can't make it.

Sorry. Day job's got to come first.

10 .30.

Great. See you then.

Day job?

Well, yeah. It's a little more than that, Jules. It's our livelihood.

Yeah, I know that. That's why I put off the meeting.

You can't say I'm not supportive of this thing that you're doing with the

newspaper, but you've got to get your priorities right.

What? A coffee before I get called? What, this thing?

No, this is important to me, Dave. It's really important.

And I'd appreciate it if you took it as seriously as I take all the other things

that I have to do around here.

A row was the last thing I wanted.

Those secret fears were getting the better of me.

Between Jake and Adam.

They were getting harder and harder to contain.

Well, I just don't understand why he's being so unreasonable.

I mean, he was being unreasonable, wasn't he?

Well, he's probably got a bit on his mind. And I haven't.

No, no, I didn't say that. Anyway, there's no excuse for having a go at me.

Excuse me.

I know I'm intruding. I've probably got it all wrong, but you don't write a

column in the local paper, do you?

She most certainly does. Have you read it?

Yeah. Everything you said about home and work and about secretly wanting a bit

of acknowledgement and feeling guilty about wanting it, it's exactly how I

Really? Really. And, you know, it's just so nice to know I'm not the only one

going mad, so... Anyway, I just wanted to tell you and now I have, so I'll get

out of your way.

And thank you. No, no.

Thank you.

See you.

Oh.

Looks like you're famous.

Oh, Dad, one reader.

Oh, she did seem to like it, though, didn't she?

Yeah.

Oh, there were millions of them. We had to beat them up with water cannons.

There was one. She wasn't actually a fan.

Don't be so modest, Jules. She thought you were terrific.

Well, she is.

That's a couple of hundred words in a local paper.

Yeah, a couple of hundred words every week. They were proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

Thanks.

Anyway, column or no column, it's time to get Ruby up.

Did she really say all those things?

Oh, she certainly did.

And I could see it meant a lot to Jules, especially out of the blue like that.

I think I'm forgiven.

You're getting there.

But a dinner might seal the deal.

You wouldn't be in the mood to do me a favour, would you, Ted?

Mark Ruby.

Yeah, sorry about the short notice.

Peace and harmony, Dave.

And I'm more than happy to do my share.

Good luck, Ted.

You looking for these?

Here, mate.

You have got yourself a lifetime designated driver because I have given

grog. I fight a dollar for every time I utter those words. No, I mean it.

Yeah, I mean it too. Every time. You're going to miss the start unless you get

going. No, there's all that rah -rah stuff first. They always drag it out.

they don't.

Not always. Anyway, didn't Ben say early? Well, you're trying to get rid of

mate. No.

Yes, I've got a lot of work to do and it's all due tomorrow. When did you get

boring? Just go.

Okay, we're going. We're going. Come on, Blitz. All work and no play.

Sure don't want to come? No. Yes.

What?

What happened to your shirt?

What? Hey, I'm hot.

I've studied. It does that. I've got hot brain.

What are you doing, mate?

I left my wallet.

Okay, well, it's here.

Anything else?

No, not that I know of.

Special service.

Oh, I couldn't let just anyone bring these out.

We're honoured.

Flattered, even.

So, tell me about today, both of you.

Um... Um... You want to be alone?

I don't know.

Um, all right, then.

Well, enjoy, and call out if you need anything.

Thought she'd never leave.

Well, this is lovely.

It's just what I needed.

You might need these.

Those pesky paparazzi can get a bit much sometimes.

So, do you want to talk now or later?

Talk. Well, why do you think I brought you out for dinner?

Um, spontaneous romantic gesture?

With a hidden agenda.

Go on.

Cool. Well, there's not a lot I really want to say.

I'm a big boy. I can take it.

Okay.

Well,

you know I love you. And I want to and I will do everything that I can to help

with the business.

But at the end of the day, that's your dream, not mine.

Fair enough.

I need something for myself.

And maybe that's the writing.

I don't know.

Might be part of it.

But whatever it is, I can't put it on hold until we meet.

I'll be too old.

Might have passed me by.

Does that make sense?

Yes, it does.

And I'm really happy for you to go for it.

Really?

Yeah, the only thing is that sometimes the male ego gets in the way and makes

forget that not everything revolves around me, so... Kicking the bum down

I was thinking more of a gentle reminder.

How about we meet halfway?

Come on.

Come on.

Yes.

Not just a minute!

Oh, cos I believe that you and I belong.

Frankie! I forgot you were coming.

Here I am. Hey.

I'm sorry. Yeah, come in.

Would you like a seat?

Um, I've got nuts.

Peanuts. I happen to have peanuts. Thank you.

For you. So, I'm going to get you a drink.

Yeah.

Nice and cold.

So, kind of like a wine slushy.

Can you smell something burning?

No, I can't smell anything.

It smells like burning plastic. No, I can't smell it.

Oh, thanks.

Thanks for coming.

You're welcome.

Too cold?

Yeah, just a little bit.

So you wanted to show me something?

Oh, yeah, that can wait.

What is it, a tape thing?

No, it's, um... It's in the garage.

But, you know, you're busy, so that's no problem.

Kobe.

Okay.

Hello.

Me.

No, it's nothing special, like, or anything. So if you don't like it,

you know, it's not a problem.

Like what exactly?

What? You know how, um, you wanted bluebirds?

Yeah, my tab.

So what I thought was, and this is just for instance.

Pretty crap, isn't it? You can tell me, honestly. I won't be offended. Well, I

might be a little bit offended, but... Shut up.

You did this for me.

Yeah.

It's too much.

It's too detailed, isn't it? I should have done one bird instead of two.

okay. I can do it again.

Don't. No, don't touch it. It's perfect.

No. Too much?

Say, um...

It's a thank you gift.

What for?

I would have ditched it ages ago if it wasn't for you.

It's nothing.

But this... So,

I figure you can put it on your wall and if after a few months you don't

completely hate it, then you can get it an inch.

It's amazing.

I mean it.

Just one thing.

The guys.

Private.

Yeah, that's it.

So, how are things with Jack?

Um, not great.

Oh, really?

Yeah, I keep thinking about something that he said on site yesterday.

What did he say?

You're not my dad.

Oh.

Yeah, and look, I know I'm not his dad, but when he said it, and how he said

it... It hurt.

Yeah. It was a kick in the gut.

Well, it makes you feel any better. He knows you've done the wrong thing.

He's got eggshells around you at the moment. Yeah, and that's the problem. He

keeps acting like he's the apprentice and I'm the boss. It's never the way I

wanted it to be. Well, you are the boss.

I'm pulling stuff into line as part and parcel of the job. Jake knows that.

Not often you admit that I'm the boss.

Well, you're Jake's boss.

I think we all know where the real power lies.

Yeah, yeah, behind every great man is a great... Donna!

Hello.

Chocolate mint, anyone?

I'm spoiling another moment, aren't I?

It's AFL proper footy. There's no offside. No, they're too slow. Look.

the replay.

Come on. Take the mark. Take it.

Hey, make yourself useful.

Hi, guys. Let myself in. Hey.

What did I miss?

The red guys are thrashing the black and yellow guys.

Where have you been?

I just had something I had to do at home.

One, two, three.

Hey.

Hey. You okay?

Sure.

I'm sorry.

I don't mean to put up barriers.

But you can't tell me what the problem is, right?

All right.

I promise it's not about you.

You know, the man a few words thing will only get you so far.

Oh, it's worked for me this long, hasn't it?

All right.

Thank you for understanding. I appreciate it.

Mate, we're doing a thirst out here. Yeah, we're out.

All right, it's going to have to be a beer run. Literally.

Back in 30.

No, no, no. I'll go for a drive. I'm lazing in there anyways.

Hey. Hey.

Hey. Hey.

You watching the footy?

Yeah.

Some of the guys are over there just as usual.

Hopefully you're all being civilised.

So far.

I'm just on a beer run.

Oh, well, we've got plenty in the shed. You should take some of that.

That's all right, isn't it? Yeah, sure.

Oh, no.

I probably need some air anyway, so... If you want to come over, it's... Oh,

I'm pretty much done then.

Bye.

Night.

Night, Jake.

He should go. He might enjoy it.

No, he was just being polite.

And that was the problem.

We didn't do polite.

The fear was things had changed and might never be the same again.

Sis, my resignation.

Hey, steady on. Let's talk about this. No, Dave, you don't get it, do you?

You're not my dad, and you never will be.

Hello?

Julie here?

Where? Here.

Here.

That's my wife.

Don't weigh it up.

And did I mention you're a lousy boss?

You're a lousy boss.

Those secret fears weren't letting go.

They were getting out of control.

What's that?

A receipt for some gear. I forgot to give it to you ages ago. Yeah, okay.

So, do you want me to start or wait till you get it? Yeah, yeah, start. You and

Kirby. You know what to do. I'll follow with Frankie.

Right -o.

Hey, I'm loving the painting those birds are practically singing.

Well, look at you and your best frog.

Just trying to look professional.

You look great.

Yeah. I've just got to finish something off before the meeting, so don't

distract me.

I can distract you, can't I?

Skip the meeting. I'll take the morning off, too. Dave.

Dave. Frankie, can you take him away, please?

Knock him dead.

Thanks.

Meeting in a public place.

So I won't make a scene when you fire me.

And the reason I asked the staff to put out the plastic cutlery.

Julian replied.

Oh. You're doing great. I love your work.

That's good to hear.

So great, in fact, I want to fly something by you.

Okay.

Now, I know that you're busy. You may not have time for this, but Eric is

on maternity leave.

Yeah, well, I figured she would sooner or later. Right. So my question to you

is, would you be willing or interested in filling her position as content

coordinator? What?

Well, how? I don't have any experience.

Neither did she when she first started.

Listen, it's basically just a fancy term for a pretty straightforward job. It's

glorified admin position.

Right.

So far so dull, right? No. But it'll give you a good handle on how the paper

works, the writing process.

Who knows?

It might even help you hone your writing skills.

So that's it.

That's my pitch. What do you say?

I don't know what to say. It's amazing.

Listen, can I think about it? No, just say yes. You want to? Yeah,

I know. I need to talk to David.

Okay. Can I let you know tomorrow?

Absolutely.

Thank you.

For what?

For thinking of me.

Hey.

Meeting go okay?

Yep.

Well, no. Well, I don't know.

Adam's offered me a job.

Content coordinator.

It's an admin role.

Full time?

No, no, two days a week while someone's on maternity leave.

I thought you wanted to be a writer.

Well, no, I'd still have my column.

And this way I'd be exposed to writing all the time.

Great. So do you want to do it?

Well, it'll only be for a couple of months.

I'll still keep up the accounts here.

Right.

I think it's a terrible idea, don't you?

No, of course I don't. It's what you want and it's important to you.

Yeah, I think it is.

Well, then you should do it.

Do you really mean that?

Yeah, of course I do.

Congratulations. No.

Are you sure you're fine with it?

Yeah, fine.

Absolutely.

Me? I'm out of here. You?

Yeah, just about done.

Might swing by the pub.

I think I deserve a drink after today.

That's a good thought.

How about you? Do you want to come down for wine?

Yeah, sure, why not? The other's coming?

Probably. Yeah, I was just about to call them actually and tell them it's on.

All right, I'll just finish up here and I'll meet you there.

Yep.

All done.

Oh, thanks for hanging back. I appreciate it. Oh, you know me. I always

around for a bit of extra work.

You out of here?

Unless you need a hand with that washing now. Go home, Matt.

Same time tomorrow?

Yeah, see you then.

Actually, what are you doing tonight?

Nothing. Why?

Fancy a cup of beers?

Yeah, sounds good to me.

It's all right with you, isn't it?

Well, right now I'm feeling very favourably disposed towards you, so make

most of it.

All right, your place in an hour. Our place?

Are you sure you don't want to do it here?

Why? Well, you and Jake aren't exactly on the better terms at the moment.

Like I said, your place, one hour.

I couldn't do anything about Adam.

Maybe I could about Jake.

It was time to confront my fears.

Here we go.

Thanks.

So how come you're all spruced up? You've got a wedding to go to.

Eh?

What, this? No.

Found it in the back of my wardrobe, thought I'd drag it out.

Any more spray starch and it could have walked here itself.

I'm just messing with you.

What's up your bum?

Nothing. I'm fine.

Slackers, where are they?

Maybe they're late.

You only rang them an hour ago.

I'm going to put a rocket under them. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't do

Why not?

Because they probably just got caught up, you know.

They'll come.

Or they won't.

They said they were coming.

Uh, I guess.

You did ask them.

Sure. Not exactly. Kind of. Not really.

Why not?

Because I thought it'd be nice if you and I could have a drink.

Sure.

But why?

Me? You and me?

It's been good so far, isn't it?

Oh, Kobe, you are a great guy. One of the

best, but... Hey, sure, yeah.

No problem. You know, I just thought, you know, it's the guy's job to try.

And, you know, I tried.

Moving right along.

And who do I see in the front row of my gig but the bloke that did a runner for

my cab the week before?

So what did you do? Well, me and the drummer in between sets, we grabbed him

right and told him we're going to call the cops.

Well, why then did you?

No way. It turns out he's a bass player and a pretty decent one too.

You're a soft touch. No way.

Do you know how hard it is to find a decent bassist?

It's getting late.

I'd better head out.

Hey.

There's a couple of beers in the fridge. What?

I'm not really drinking at the moment.

All right, another time in?

Look, just give us a second. I'll go and get changed.

Awkward.

I have the perfect icebreaker.

Huh? What do you want me to do, Serenata? Music, mate.

The great leveller.

Come on. Bit of old -fashioned rock and roll.

How can you say no?

He's pretty cute.

Sure there's no chance?

He's young.

He could have played like a Labrador puppy.

Oh, he put his heart out there and I crushed it.

Still, the guy telling you how he feels, that makes a nice change.

Let me guess, Jake.

He's obviously upset about this stuff with his dad. I just want to help.

You really like him, don't you?

Oh, is this the love blow that I'm sensing? Don't you dare say anything.

I don't know, son, might let it slip at smoker. Frankie, I mean it. Okay, okay,

it's in the vault.

Jake's so kind of about Dave.

He really likes him.

What's not so?

What's that supposed to mean?

What? Nothing.

What?

Oh, my God.

No, I know what you're thinking, and you're wrong. He's your boss. Wrong,

wrong, wrong.

Why do you do this to yourself, Frankie? A nice single guy throws himself at

you, and you have your sights set on the one you can't have. He's married.

End of story.

You want to keep the death valve down a bit, I think? Can't stop.

You only banjo?

Well, yeah, guitar.

Oh, whatever.

Oi!

He can hear you from down the street.

Oh, all right. But it shouldn't matter. Just consider a gift from us to you.

They're actually not too bad.

Thank you. I'm going to hit the sack.

So? Yeah, look, I might hit the sack too, eh? You quitter?

Yes, it's getting kind of late. Well, unless you guys want to play something

that's not like that noise pollution.

Working hard to make a living. No, I don't work.

Bringing shelter from the rain.

For the sun left to carry on blue denim in his veins.

Oh, he's a working glass man. All right.

He's a legend of his time.

I guess I go from the wild to the western sky.

Oh, he's a working class man. Stop it. It's hurting my ears. Why do you say

that?

Go get some bed.

That was great.

Really? Well, you know, Andy.

Jake.

I'm sorry.

Can I have one minute?

It's important.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I'm not taking no for an answer.

I'm not here to try and make you believe me.

All right.

You know, earlier tonight I was actually hunting for my medical records so that

I could show you and prove that I really am sick.

And then I thought, what's the point?

Maybe you're right.

Maybe there are some things that are just too broken ever to be fixed. Yeah,

you did that. You're the one that broke it.

I know that.

And from now on, I will stay out of your life.

I would help with coming back, trying to make up the... Anyway,

you have turned out every bit the

way I thought you would.

I know you think you don't know me, but I feel I know you.

And your mother, she did a stunning job.

And I...

I'm so proud of you.

You're a good man.

I'm proud of you.

Robert?

Yeah, there's no law that says you can't change your mind about seeing him

again.

No, I made the right decision. The only connection we've got is blood.

And it's not enough.

Yeah, as long as you don't have any regrets.

Well, I've got one, but it's not about Jim.

Something I said to you a couple of days ago.

The dad thing.

I said, Lauren, you know, I'm sorry.

I just was a bit run down. I didn't know what I was saying and all that.

Yeah, I know.

I mean, you'd be more of a dad to me than that bloke will ever be.

I'm glad you feel that way.

Cheers.

How's our form pouring our hearts out?

Yeah.

I'll be getting you to interpret my dreams next.

Any good ones?

Yeah, actually, the other night I... What?

Nah, nothing.

Not too many beers.

It's all right.

Jules, are you awake?

Jules. Oh, no.

I was hoping you'd give up. No chance.

Good night?

Yeah, yeah, it was fun.

You and Jake okay?

All sorted. All it took was a little bit of Jimmy Barnes.

I'm glad.

Which is why I had to tell you something. You know that dream that I

You woke me up to tell me about a dream? Well, it's been worrying me. A bit.

Actually, actually, I can't stop thinking about it.

Was it really bad?

Well, you seem to be enjoying it.

Okay, okay, anyway.

It's the middle of the day.

The place is a mess, and Ruby's been left all on her own, and the phone's

ringing, and I go looking for you, and I find you in bed. You look all happy and

flushed.

And then Adam walks in, wearing nothing but a towel around him. Hang on.

Adam's nothing standard, Adam.

Well, he walks in, and then what? Well, he asks me if I'm all right, and then I

wake up.

Oh.

It's pretty silly, eh?

Yeah. Hasn't really been worrying you, has it?

Yeah. Oh, I'm telling you, it's just a dream. It doesn't mean anything.

Yeah.

Adam. Hmm?

Really?

What?

Well, next time could you at least give me George Pliny?

Yeah, I'll see if he's available.

Can I go back to sleep now?

Yeah, sure.

Adam.

Sometimes the best way to handle our secret fears is to say them out loud.

But that's not always the case.

Hey. Hmm?

I like having you here with me.

I like being here.

Good.

All sorted?

See you in the morning.

Am I?

Hmm. I love you.

You don't have to say it. Honestly, you don't. But I want to.

Because it's true.

Listen, it doesn't have to be this big thing. I don't mind.

I love you.

Very much.

Oh, Ben.

I love you too.

When you finally speak your fears, you might suddenly be free of them.

I think it's my

turn to keep the magic alive.

Although saying your fears out loud might just mean you're passing them on

someone else.
