When's the right time?

Mother Nature always knows.

When to grow, to flower, give fruit.

If only it was that easy for the rest of us.

Oi Bennett, what's your o 'clock? It's five minutes past.

Hey, it's looking alright.

I finally found something I'm good at, other than pulling beers and annoying

Donna. Hey, mate, keep this up and we can start saving ourselves some bucks.

Hey, uh, seriously, do you reckon we could grow some bananas?

Hey, boys.

Oh, hello, beautiful.

You know.

Know what?

Bananas. Do you reckon we can grow some here?

Uh, they're growing clusters about six metres high. I don't think you'd have

space. Oh, right.

Besides, they're not trees at all.

They're herbs.

Bananas? Yeah. Hey, I've got to show you something.

And... Back in the tick.

You're a little bit early for this.

Off the taste site, you can finish your course online.

And the farm... Oh, it's a farm now, is it?

All right, market garden, whatever.

Counts towards your marks, like a project.

And there's another thing.

Stallions. It's a big demand for them.

You have been busy.

Yeah, and check this out.

Loan application.

What? You're still into this?

Well, yes, but... But what?

Shouldn't we, I don't know, talk to my lecturer, see how much she's asking?

Already did. She loves you.

Teacher's pet. It's a done deal if we get the loan.

But what if we don't? Well, we'll find out tomorrow. That's when the

is.

Ben, I don't have my half of the deposits ordered. Yeah, I already told

insurance money, there's heaps.

Well, that's your money.

Being invested in our future.

What's wrong? We could be one of these.

I just didn't expect us to go ahead this fast.

When you say herb, do you mean like mint?

All good and hood?

Sadly, yes.

Okay. Yes? Yes!

No!

I'm sorry.

Should we tell him?

Not yet.

How much are they asking?

Actually, it's all done.

I've made an offer and they've accepted.

Oh, so your loan's been approved?

Nah, not yet, but it will be.

Mel's Insurance Money's a fair deposit.

Well, hang on. You've made an offer before your loan's been approved.

You haven't paid them in advance or anything, have you?

No, not yet.

Good.

Oh, thanks for the vote of confidence. No, darling, it's a big investment. We

just want to make sure you go about things the right way. Mum, it's

We just want to make sure that you're both happy for us.

Well, if your heart's set on it, it is. Then we're happy for you.

Might even fix up your wiring.

Thank you. You're the best.

The time was right.

I was sure of it.

A huge commitment.

Yeah, well, we're the ones who've been on his case to invest in something.

And if he falls, we'll be there to catch him like we always have.

Will we?

Yeah.

Just been through a bumpy patch, that's all.

Come on. You and me are like... swans.

What's football got to do with it? No, swans, the birds.

Oh.

They're an endangered species.

No.

No, we mate for life.

Oh.

Major brownie points, by the way. Awful.

The way you took Ben's news.

What do you expect?

Oh, Mum, please.

And I suppose this was all your idea.

No, we made the decision together.

Oh, well, if the decision's already been made. Mum, it's not like that. It's

what we want to do, and it's not that far.

We'll visit, and you can visit us, have weekends in the country. It's a

beautiful place. You'd love it.

Wouldn't you, Ben?

Yeah, there's trees, fresh air, goats.

Mum.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm very happy for you.

It sounds idyllic.

Perhaps I should just go and pop the kettle on.

Weekends? Oh, come on. It's not like she'll be around all the time.

Weekends would be lovely.

In the country.

With goats.

So far, so good.

You've still got to tell Carbo. No probs. If I'm happy, he's happy.

No, no, no, no, no, no! Tubbo! Come on, you knew we were thinking about it. Oh,

yeah, and I thought about getting my chest waxed.

Really? When?

About a month back.

It was just a thought.

Anyway, the point is, it was a dumb idea, just like this.

We're not the only ones moving on.

I'm not going anywhere. In fact, if you want to grow more veggies in the yard...

That's not what I meant. You're going to be a dad soon.

In like a year.

Six months, actually.

See? Ages.

Well, they say a first is usually late, so maybe like... Six and a bit. And

that's pretty soon.

Come on, this is a great opportunity for us.

Yeah, it is.

But I am going to miss our game night, like, straight.

Me too.

But we'll make up for it, hit the town. Yeah, only when I can drink again.

Carbo, you're still my best mate.

Might be the same.

For some people, it's never the right time.

So... When Emma went to London, I put on five kilos.

You are not being selfish.

I'm not very good company, though, am I? Don't be silly.

I'll tell you what.

Are you working tomorrow night?

Well, what about we grab an early dinner and a movie?

My shout.

Sir, how are you anyway?

Oh, I can't complain.

I've been reading some stuff online.

Here, after what you said about me.

Forgetting things.

Oh, forget what I said.

I mean, not that you necessarily would forget. I'm just being... Concerned.

But you were right.

Well, there were a couple of weird things that happened.

Silly things.

So I went online.

And? Oh, it's not me.

All that stuff they were talking about.

You know, mood swings, errors of judgment. It's not me.

I've just had a lot on my mind, that's all.

Just wanted you to know that as a concerned friend.

Chips.

I won't tell if you don't.

All right.

Hello. Oh, sweetheart.

Heard about your big news.

Congratulations. Oh, thanks.

Mum's still getting used to the idea.

Oh, I just didn't see it coming.

Oh.

Oh, hey, Matty, what time are you on? Nine. Oh, warm -up bag.

Hey, buddy, if you don't want to come... Oh, look, Matt, it's OK.

I'll speak to Sian. Are you coming?

Yeah, of course I am. Sweet.

So, all packed up? Yeah, ready to roll.

Ah, hey, hey, what about that lot?

Am I going to wash themself?

Oh, um, I'll do that. What? Since when?

Since it's my turn.

Oh, yeah, no arguments from us. It's all right, let's head. We'll see you there,

Sprague. Yep.

Bye. See you.

Hey, Julie, I just wanted to say thank you.

What for?

For giving me my job back.

Well, Dave did that, not me.

He said it was your idea.

There's no point in making me think bigger than they are.

I just wanted you to know I'm seriously grateful.

Sorry, guys, can't find my cold chest on that shirt.

Can't you wear something else? No, it's my lucky one.

Yeah, Jimmy Barnes hurled on it. Yeah, hilarious.

Hey, wait.

Where did you get that?

In an laundry basket.

Oh, now.

Oh, poor.

What? I can't wear this.

Come on, let's get some clean ones.

Shut up.

Hey.

Hey. Hey.

They ready yet?

Not yet. Fashion crisis.

How things at work?

Yeah, good.

Kobe? Cool.

Julie?

What? Hey, you two, we off?

Yeah, do you guys want to pile into my car?

Actually, we thought we might stay in tonight.

Ah, quiet night in, gotta love that.

John and Jake gonna rock the house.

Oh, dream on, Coe. Oh, is there not going to be any shampoo?

Yeah, I've got some we can have. There's a right time with relationships, too,

when staying home is all you need.

Huh? Looks like it's just you and me.

Looks like it.

And you must be.

Okay. And when just being friends is cool too.

Is that the last piece of toast?

It's yours.

Where should we go?

I've got heaps of time.

You all right there? It's for the ultrasound. Lots of water, they said.

I know it sounds crazy, but I haven't felt like this since I sat my year 12

exam. It's not a test.

Pretty awesome moment, though. First time you get to see your baby.

Yeah. Hey, you want to come with us? Oh, Gabbo.

Not that it wouldn't be lovely, but... See, Rita says it'd be lovely.

Nah. Why not?

I'm probably not allowed.

Hey, it's our baby.

Yeah, it's a family thing.

Oh, Benno.

You're not family, eh, Uncle Benno? Look, honey, if he doesn't want to,

Then do it for me.

Look, you mean a lot to my best mate there.

Hey, Ben, last chance.

I already told you, I'm waiting over there. Doc said you're landing there

us. That'd just be weird.

Go.

Ben?

I thought it was you.

Sorry, do I... Kirsten. I used to work with Mel.

Oh. Okay.

How are you going?

Yeah, okay.

What about you?

Good. Getting there.

Just waiting for a mate.

First ultrasound.

It's a big day.

We all miss her. She was one of a kind.

Yeah.

We'll take care.

You too.

Hi, I just got your message. What's up?

You've got it bad at the moment, haven't you?

When I'm weary and tired, when I'm far from home, I think of

you in the rain and I kiss you.

I can't build you a castle.

I can't buy you a ring.

I can't see you. I had been so sure it was the right time to move on, to start

again. Now it's raining.

Now I wasn't sure at all.

I really want to enjoy this moment, but I drank a lot of water.

There we go.

Oh, my God.

That's him.

Or her.

See there?

That's the heartbeat.

For real?

Do you want to hear it?

Yeah.

Big head.

Brain develops early.

This all looks perfectly normal.

So when exactly can you tell the thing?

Not for another few weeks.

Is that right?

Can you believe it?

He made that.

Two of us.

Three of us now.

Hey, how'd he go?

Awesome. Like suddenly it's all real.

Yeah, like an actual human being. So small, but growing.

Hey, you want to see?

Yeah, he took a video. Yeah, sure.

Okay.

Oh, wow.

That's the heartbeat there.

We don't have a 60, but that's not too halfway through.

But it's healthy.

We're worried about the size of the head.

Come on, she's perfect.

You're right.

He's perfect.

Congrats, guys.

Yeah. You and Emma have to come back to town for the birth, yeah?

If they go.

Carbo. Should we head back?

Yeah. Look at him.

How'd you go?

Yeah, sweet ass.

Even quoted them on lighting the garden.

The customer was putting in his hands. Must be all that sleep you've been

getting. Oh, for the last time, we were watching TV.

Oh, right, there's a new name for it.

Be sharing toothbrushes next.

Scrub those accounts?

Yeah, sure.

It's okay, guys.

I'll put that away. Scrub the rest of the stuff out of the van. Right.

This didn't drop my guts.

You're a closet.

Julie, if this is... too hard. Oh, I don't want to talk about it. But

Frankie was your idea.

Yeah. But you said to share that with her, didn't you?

She mentioned it yesterday when she thanked me for getting her job back. I

thought that she should know that you've moved on. That we've moved on.

Haven't we?

Hello.

Oh, Adam, hi.

No, no, that's good.

Uh, today...

Oh, I've been on the phone to Donna again. You'd think Ben and Emma were

to the moon.

Oh, come on. It can't be that bad.

Everything all right?

Yeah. No, I can't. Next time?

Great, thanks.

Restaurant right up. Early evening special. Debbie had to pull out.

I thought I was too busy.

Well, call them back.

Tell them you'll do it.

With me.

Got to grab these perks when you can.

It's been a while since you and I went out. Just the two of us.

What about Ruby?

Ted? Yeah?

Could you?

No problem.

Ben, it's Emma again.

Are you coming, or...? Forget it.

I'll see you at your place.

Yeah! Look! Hey!

Hello at the Benno.

What? A strike.

Oh, good one. Score?

You're ahead by 30.

You've been off your game today, mate.

Ah, it's not over yet. Ah, refit.

Oh, hi.

Ben, if you want a loan, you kind of have to show off at the bank.

Oh, my God.

I am so sorry.

He drove us to the ultrasound, and then we came home, and I talked him into a

rematch. Sorry, Mum, it was my fault.

Where's your phone?

Uh, it's in the car.

I am so sorry, seriously. I don't know where my head's at.

I'll reschedule.

Hey, you want to see our baby?

Yeah, of course.

How many weeks now?

Twelve.

Wow, that's amazing.

Yeah. Great.

I'll see you then. Thank you. Bye.

Ah, bank appointment's rescheduled. 10am tomorrow.

What happened?

I don't know. I... I forgot.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, it's fine.

It's just, um... Hey, guys, Carbo's had a brainwave.

Touch foot in the park.

Today? Yeah, after others knock off.

Up to him.

I've never played.

That's okay. We can teach you. It's fully chick -friendly.

I can give it a go?

Awesome. Shall I call Jake and the others and maybe make an evening of it?

Sure. Brilliant.

Hey, hey, what's he say? Touch foot is a go. I'm excited.

My evil plan is working.

Operation Make Ben Stay.

If I show him how much fun you miss out on, he'll never want to leave.

Hi, mate.

Feel like rounding up the others for a bit of touch, would you?

Awesome.

Oh, Donna, hi. Hi.

I'm here to see Ted.

Oh. Dad, Donna's here.

Donna.

What brings you here, mate?

Well, aren't we getting a bite to eat and going to see a movie?

I don't think so.

Are we?

Oh, sorry.

I must have got my wires crossed.

Well, you can always eat here.

As long as you don't mind babysitting Ruby with me.

Yeah, Dave and I are eating out. Oh, that's nice.

Restaurant right up for the paper.

Oh, that'll be him. Better be going.

Enjoy your evening.

You enjoy yours.

Thanks, Dave.

They're getting there.

At least I hope so.

Come on through.

Oh!

You have a reservation?

Yes, right up.

From the paper?

Yes, yes, of course, Mr. Goodman phone.

Please, please, this way. Oh.

For you, the best table of the house.

Now, would you care for some wine?

Chianti.

Sorry?

Chianti. Oh, wine. Yeah, sure.

I shall bring a carafe.

A fiasco in Italian.

I hope it's not a fiasco in English.

You might have some years gone.

Me but that don't mean anything.

You might have some years gone.

Half time.

Man, you're a real world of defence today, aren't you? Shut up, I'm playing,

okay? Oh, you're right. You need to use him a frame.

Ow. You big wuss. Ow. Is everything okay?

Yeah, he's having a great time. Beer?

Yes, a jug, please. I'll go one. I'll go three. Oh, beer's all around there.

You're not having second thought.

About what?

The cottage.

Of course not.

So what was it you were going to tell me before?

I went back at your place in the kitchen.

Oh, forget it. It wasn't important.

You'd tell me if you were.

Emma, I want this so much.

More than you know.

Wait.

Excuse me, everyone.

Emma and I have some news.

We're moving away from Sydney.

We're buying a little place in the country and we're moving away.

Since when?

Since we went and stayed there and saw how awesome it is.

What about touch footy? What about chook bowling?

Carvo. What about your bank loan?

We'll get the bank loan.

It's a beautiful little cottage in the country and you're all welcome to come

and stay.

So what do we reckon?

A congratulations?

That is great news. Very grown up. Now I know people with a country cottage.

So if you'd all like to raise your beers and your glasses and toast to the

future. And to the woman I'm going to be sharing it with, to Emma.

To Emma. To Emma.

There might never be a right time, so why not just do it now?

Oh, that was terrible.

Oh, that was.

All right, maybe not.

And how long they've been married.

You say they are.

I don't want to end up like that.

Neither do I.

So how did we get to this?

To what?

We're here, aren't we? We're talking.

At each other, not with each other.

Lately.

We've always lived our lives through our kids.

Yeah, so what happens when the kids are off living their lives?

What happens to us?

We become strangers?

No.

Are the kids the glue?

No.

There's a gap to fill, you know, in you with your writing and... You?

You.

My life with you.

You know, a world without you in it.

There's a world I can't even imagine.

We won't wind up like that. We won't let it happen.

We've got some good years ahead of us.

The best years.

And we've just got to put what happened behind us and move forward.

this place. There are advertisers.

Focus on the ambience.

Oh. Pesata?

Sure.

Scallions? No, I never heard of them. What about spring onions?

No. Sure what?

Mate, anything that's not served on a plate or in a takeaway container, I've

no idea. Yeah, I can vouch for that.

Yeah, I don't know why you're moving to the country anyway.

Oh, fresh air, starry nights, room to stretch out. Oh, it sounds like heaven.

Oh, that is a stock City Kid answer. Do you know what they really have in the

country?

Nothing.

Oh, stop it. It's such a wet blanket. No, they need to know. I grew up there.

It's boring.

Well, we won't be bored, will we?

No, well, you'll have your onions.

You're going to miss these guys when they're gone.

Yeah, we will.

No, we'll be right.

No one to play with. Yeah, no one to get on the grog with. No one to play chook

bowling with.

Actually, me and Redda have new suit.

What will Capo know?

Oh, we can tell him.

Tell us what?

We said, but wait.

Never mind.

Oh, you're not, are you?

Not what?

Knocked up.

Hey. In the family way.

Are you?

You are, aren't you?

Hey.

Yep, okay, me and Redda knocked up.

How far?

Twelve weeks.

Congratulations, guys.

I think another toast is in order. To Carbon Retta and the baby Carbon Retta.

New beginnings.

Not this time.

Not in the water.

What a clever girl.

Ted. Yeah, Bain.

That website you went on.

What about it?

Was there a test that you could take?

I told you, I don't need one.

What about today?

What about it?

Well, you forgot, didn't you?

Forgot what?

We had a date, dinner and a movie.

That's why I came around.

You invited me yesterday.

Must have slipped my mind.

Shouldn't you at least talk to Julie about it?

Has she said something?

No.

I just don't like to keep secrets.

No secrets to keep.

Well, if you got tested, then you'd know for sure.

Can you get ice cream right?

Something tells me this is his first restaurant.

That career change.

I don't think he's Italian either.

No.

So will you see us in ten years' time?

Retired?

Try twenty.

Maybe that's what this is. A midlife thing.

Yeah, maybe.

Is getting old scare you?

No.

Not if it's with you.

Oh.

Now I think it's time to take up some hobbies.

Like what?

Well, what have happened to Latin dance classes?

Probably my convenient back injury.

No, no, Ben had a crisis and I cancelled.

Bloody kids.

Yeah, better off without them, really.

Anyway.

Have I told you lately how beautiful you are?

Oh, you're changing the subject.

Yeah, I am.

Let's get out of here and see if Ted can take himself for a walk around the

block a few times.

I'll drink to that.

To us.

To us.

Oh!

Now, see, that's not Latin. Yeah, well, I'm really more rock and roll.

I take it tonight went all right, then. One of the worst meals we've ever had.

Oh.

And one of the best.

Tomorrow's a whole strange job. Better take it.

So, how was Rubes?

Good as gold.

Dreaming as we speak.

Oh, thanks, Dad.

Meant a lot to us.

Where would we be without you?

Jules.

Good to see you.

You and Dave.

When you come and visit us, we'll have fresh veggies.

Yeah, none of this tinned rubbish.

I like tinned rubbish.

Carbo, I know what you're getting at.

Em and I are going to do this, so why don't you just be happy for us?

Hi, are you feeling better? We've saved some.

Something's wrong.

Come sit by me, my love.

First time I was here, I was with Mel.

I'm trying to have a baby.

I was so sure that it was right for us.

Not that things weren't good or... Anyway, being

here this morning sort of brought it all back.

So if I've been acting a bit weird... Is that what you were going to tell me in

the kitchen?

Yeah.

I didn't want to hurt you.

I hope Red is okay.

Come sit by me, my love.

Are you sure that thing's working?

How are those abdominal pains now?

Better. That's good, right?

How was that?

Was that it?

Was that happy?

Just bear with me a sec.

There, that's it.

So, if you could just wait a tick, I'm just going to go and get your doctor.

Be there.

You're saved.

Well, wait.

That is so going to topple.

So not.

You

are

a freak.

Should have been a structural engineer.

Seriously. What?

What can I say, Code?

I've got the Midas chat.

Reversed Midas.

Hooters. Everything I touch turns to crap.

So, Jake and Khan seem tight?

Yeah. No, it's good.

But?

But nothing.

No, I'm happy for them.

I am.

But you've lost your Betty.

Yeah, well, you know, things change. That's life.

Maybe I can feel those high heels.

What? I just can't imagine you in high heels, that's all.

What?

Seriously, you and me doing girly stuff?

Yeah, and painting nails.

Reading our horoscopes.

Yeah.

Slumber parties.

Raging boys.

Right.

How does Dave rate?

Dude.

Yeah, right, he's not really a boy.

He's old enough to be your father, so... Your point?

He should have known better.

You know, it wasn't like that.

Take two, even if he didn't start it.

My dad... I guess I just sort of...

Looked up to Dave.

Could do a lot worse.

Your father's passed away, right?

Like, not long ago.

Anyway, end of subject.

Back to summer parties.

What? You can't blame a guy for drawing.

You can't.

No, you're right.

I feel like I let you down.

You couldn't let me down if you tried.

The dumbest thing was me blaming to everyone.

Hey, you were just excited.

We both were.

Thank God you're all right.

Of course I am.

I'm a lot stronger than I look.

And our baby's out there.

He'll come to us when he's ready.

Hoshi. You're gonna be the best dad.

Are you awake?

Yeah.

I don't get how cowboy states are brave.

I know.

They're incredible.

If it had been me, I would have been a mess.

I am a mess.

Ben.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing?

Ben, where are you going?

Out for a walk.

I'll come with you. No, no, no.

You stay here.

I won't be long.

Morning.

Hey.

How long have you been awake?

A while.

What's this staring at me?

I was thinking about last night.

What happened last night?

Don't you remember?

It had something to do with swans.

Yeah, you could say that.

Why don't you show me?

Here you go.

Thank you. Hey, thanks, baby.

How are you?

I'm okay.

These things aren't uncommon.

You can always try again.

Makes you think, though, how touch and go life is.

You're going to make the most of it.

Yeah.

Look, if you get the chance to do something, something that could change

life,

you should probably go for it.

Mate, this farm thing, if it's what you guys want to do, kick ass, I'd say.

Thanks, mate.

You're up.

Want some brekkie?

Coffee.

Okay.

How are you?

All good.

If there's anything I can do, I'll ring my bell.

There you go.

Sorry about last night, getting in late.

Hope I didn't wake you.

I wasn't asleep.

You all ready for the big appointment?

At the bank.

Ben. Oh, is it the time? I've got to... Mate, leave it. I'll do it.

You OK?

I can't remember the last time I was actually early for something.

I feel so grown up taking out a mortgage.

All those years watching Mum and Dad just scraping through.

Interest rates going up and down. It's kind of scary.

Ben, about last night. Oh, finally.

Ben, I can't.

What's wrong?

I just can't.

Look, this isn't right.

What isn't? This whole thing.

We're not ready.

You're not ready.

Ben. Ben.

What's wrong?

Ben, you're a seriously beautiful guy.

Emma, don't. You're wrong.

I am ready. No, you want to be. It's not the same thing.

Maybe if we give it more time.

You're trying to force something that's not there.

It's not the right time for you and it might never be.

Maybe if we'd met down the track, six months, a year, it might have all been

different. But right now, you need time to heal.

I love you.

And Mel.

I'm sorry.

But I can't shame you.

I need you to love just me.

I deserve that.

How'd you go lucky?

Tanya? Another groupie. Yeah.

Deferado more like Tanya the tonsil tickler, wasn't she?

Crout kicking technique or tongue.

Nothing worse.

Poor sugars, wasn't it?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Dave, can I see you inside for a sec?

Welcome. Welcome to the world of salt.

I've got work to do. Come on, ten minutes. Come on, help me fold out the

Oh, all right.

All right.

Here we go.

Oh! Oh, my back.

Oh, no, no. Oh, crikey. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, nothing a good rub wouldn't fix. Oh, Dad!

Oh!

Moving on with your life.

Accepting that things have changed.

It's easier said than done.

But the timing has to be right.
