All language subtitles for Packed To The Rafters s05e13 Filling the Void

Sometimes we have a gap in our lives, a
space that needs to be filled.

So, I forgot to ask about Ben. Any news?

Oh, yes.

A couple of quick calls. Sounds like
he's settling in.

All right. And Nathan?

Uh, Kakadu last text I got. Oh.

You won't be missing them.

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

She means yes.

Sorry. I shouldn't keep reminding you.
No, it's fine, really.

Oh, that looks great, but I think I'm
going to burst. Yeah, I'm having trouble

breathing seriously.

I'll give it a hum.

It was really nice of you to invite me.

Oh, not at all.

Jake's family, so any friend of Jake's
is family too.

Blokes, they fill the gaps in other
ways.

So how about them wallabies, eh?

Yeah, yeah, they should have a chance.

And just as my life was feeling that
tiny bit emptier...

Jake's was about to get unexpectedly
full.

So full.

I can't move.

Congratulations. You survived your first
rafter dinner.

What?

Do you think I passed?

What's that?

The rectal replacement test.

You passed.

Okay.

Now can we go to bed?

Are you serious?

Has anyone got money for a new... What
the hell are you doing?

What sort of welcoming is that? Is this
Alex?

Yes, Al. This is Sean. Sean, I've heard
all about you.

You don't have 80 bucks for a cab, do
you? 80 bucks?

No trains.

Hey, what's going on?

Hey, g'day, I'm Alex.

Oh, mate,

this is a bit awkward. I'm in your
bedroom.

Oh, I guess.

Who needs bed?

Come on, we're going out. What? No way.

Yeah, well, come all this way.

Oh, no, no, no, look, we're going to
bed.

We'll catch up in the morning.

You guys are boring. Yes, we're boring.
Now, look, I'm going to dump your stuff

down here. I'll get you a turn and you
can crash on the couch, all right? Boo.

Taxi's still here.

I'll get that.

I think we're going to get on. What, you
want to pay for his cab?

Alex wasn't saying, but there was a gap
in his life too.

And just like Carbo and Retta, He was
trying to fill it with fun. No, my mum

dad's room.

Why? That can't be them. Right, I know.
The bathroom. No.

Oh, my God. How about Ben's room? I
know.

No. Why not?

Because Ben has rooms that good. Come
on, every room's been Ben's room at some

point.

Pardon me, still thinks of it as the
nursery.

Yeah.

Thank you.

I can hear you, you know.

I'm not deaf.

I just pulled it.

Didn't you get undressed at all last
night, bro?

I'm here for a good time. Not a long
time.

Hey! Hey!

What are you saying for?

I'm not sure yet.

Really? What about work?

I'm not working anymore.

Why? How come?

Global finance thingy. Yeah, that's the
technical term for it.

What are you going to do for a job?

Something will come up. Always does.

My brother, the positive thinker.

I reckon it's time to head off, chaps.
Sian, want to look to school?

School? How old are you?

I'm a teacher.

What class do you take?

Alex. What? I'm making a conversation.

See you tonight.

Yeah.

So we just turned up without warning.

You know Alec. Well, bring him round for
dinner. We'd love to have you both.

Yeah, you could help us eat all that
food you've been making.

It's just a few biscuits. Yeah, and
cakes and pies and quiches.

Ruby's going to be an ambassador for
childhood obesity.

All right.

I'll mention it to her.

So what does this mean for the happy
home?

Oh, good question, mate. I guess he's
got first dibs on his room. All his

stuff's there anyway.

No, don't be like that. No, no, no. Fair
enough.

Tell you one thing, though.

I won't be setting up my swag in the
laundry after what happened in Coober

with that feral pig.

Well, why don't you come and stay with
Dave and me for a while?

Really? Really? Really. Well, it's not
like we don't have the space.

You could stay in Rachel's old room.

Keep Dave company until Alex sorts
himself out.

Oh, it's a nice offer, but... No, it's
fantastic.

We'd love to have you.

Oh, great.

Yeah, thanks, Julie.

You're welcome.

It's perfect sense.

Just give me a sec.

What are you doing?

Darling, it'll be fine. Will it?

You don't know Matt like I do. It's all
while he's here. I can get to know him.

He thinks beer is a breakfast treat. And
you two brothers can bond.

Bond? That's what I'm trying to tell
you. We've bonded.

Is Matt moving in?

Not just temporarily.

Look, I think it'll be nice to have a
new face around the place. What, you

it'll be nice for you to be distracted
from missing the kids too much? No, I'm

getting used to that.

You see, you're not missing them at all.

No, not at all.

Oh.

What's that?

Biscuits. I'm just going to run them
next door.

Your Honour, I rest my case.

So, how are you finding the place?

Not without Ben.

It's kind of empty.

What, even with all the pizza boxes?

Oh, yeah, we're getting, you know.

You know, it's a bit echoey. Ah.

With just the two of us.

I think I do miss Ben.

Oh, you sweetheart. You're really
falling apart without him, aren't you?

well, no, it is a big place just for
two. I was telling your mum that.

When did you talk to Rita?

Uh, yesterday.

You didn't tell her that we had a bare
room, did you?

Oh, I...

I heard you were

looking for a lodger.

Oh, Mrs Rahada! Well,

are you?

I'm a really, really good housemate. Ask
anyone.

I lived with my friend Steph once, and
when I left to go on holiday, she cried

and tried to climb on the bonnet of the
taxi.

I was only going for four days. I think
it's because I got there fast. They're

stacking the dishwasher.

Although, we're not looking for a
lodger.

Well, it's only three weeks before I
move in with my fiancé.

But I didn't know you were engaged.

Well, I'm not yet, but my boyfriend's
had this look in his eye lately.

I didn't know you had a boyfriend.

Well, I don't. Not officially, but...

I've been chatting to this guy online
and he says we should go bowling.

Voila. Please.

Please. Voila. Red is right.

We're not looking for a lodger.

Sorry. Oh.

But we're having a party.

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're more
than welcome to come.

We are?

Sure. I mean, look, just because Ben has
a wife doesn't mean that good times

couldn't still roll.

And... Buller loves a party. Right,
Buller? Big time.

See? Settled.

Let's tear this joint a new one.

So, uh... You sure you don't mind doing
this? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Change the

scenery's good for a bite. So what's
going on? Well, Matt's moving out for a

bit, so you can have your old room back.

Oh, yeah, sweet.

You see this?

See how we're all falling all over
ourselves for you? Yeah, well, that's

I'm worth it.

You going to come to Cabo's party? Hell,
yeah. When is it? Actually, who cares?

When it is, I'll be there.

So what have you been doing, anyway?

Job hunting.

Awesome.

So what sort of jobs have you been...
Oh,

that's... Those sorts of jobs.

It's research.

What for?

Cameraman.

I'm going to go for a jog with Sian.
Take your time.

And could you please make sure you clear
that search history?

Yes, Dad.

Alex always brings out the parent in
Jake.

But if he'd known then how Alex was
filling the empty space in his life.

Maybe he wouldn't have felt so guilty
about playing the dad.

Oh, I really do appreciate this, Jules.

Sure I'm not putting you guys out? No,
not at all. It's lovely to have you.

Oh, do you want me to throw some water
on? Oh, no, no, no. Just, uh... Yeah, I

should probably deal with that.

Yeah, well, maybe not before thorough
disinfecting. Ooh!

I don't want you to be my maid. Oh, no,
I'm not going to be a maid. I can put on

some washing, though. Oh, great. Thanks.

Oh, well, is there anything I can do? I
don't know.

A cup of tea or something?

Flamington finger? No, would you just
relax?

Make yourself at home.

Okay.

Don't make her beg you, mate. Well, in
that case...

He's got his foot on the table.

It's fine.

You guys got cable?

I've got the hard liquor. Who's turn is
it to get the mixes? Hey, this is my

brother Alex.

Sorry. Hey, don't be. You're talking my
language.

Are you coming tonight?

Hey, Tamron, I wouldn't miss the party.

Oh, you got one of them girly vodkas.

What the hell is girly vodka?

It's got patterns all over it. It looks
like a tampon box.

Oh, spare me. If you want to stay in the
booth, go get it yourself.

I hope you got enough for Sian's brother
because he's coming too.

Friends? Do you want to bite him for?

I didn't.

So uninvited.

What's your problem anyway?

Nothing.

He's awesome.

Particularly when he's cheating on me.
He's spectacular then.

Did you go out with him?

For a while.

Broke my heart, if you must know.

Sounds like a wanker.

No, no, no. It's not that big a deal.

He moved on. I moved on.

He moved on before we broke up, which
wasn't awful.

So is it going to be kind of awkward
between you two tonight?

I don't know. I guess we'll find out
now, thanks to you.

No.

Not me.

I'm the messenger. Don't shoot the
messenger.

I might actually just duck home and get
this thing.

For what?

The thing.

I'll see you guys there.

I still reckon he sounds like a tool.

Dad! Hi, Emma.

What are you doing here?

Just a bit of business.

And mostly I wanted to make sure my girl
was okay after a fella left her

stranded. Aw, he didn't come all the way
to Sydney just for that, did you?

Must have been heartbreaking.

Yeah, life goes on.

You're just being brave, I know that
face.

So is your mum about?

No, she's finished for the day.

Actually, it's your mum I wanted to talk
to you about.

Natalie and I have broken up.

Ah.

Yeah, so... On me lonesome again.

So, how do you feel about that?

Not sure, really.

I guess that's why I wanted to talk to
you first, you know? Just raise the idea

of your mum and me having a chat, see if
you thought it was a good idea.

Yeah, what kind of a chat?

Well, nothing serious, just hello.

Look, if you think it's a bad idea, I'll
let it drop immediately.

I'll have to think about it.

Of course, love.

I appreciate it.

It's great to see you.

You too, Dad.

I thought you said you were coming home
early to clean up. I thought you were.

No, I didn't.

Hiya.

Hey, how did you get in?

I have a key.

What?

Yeah, everybody in the Cunandotus family
does. In case of an emergency, you know

what your mum's like.

Your family all have keys.

Used to me.

That means they could just come in at
any time.

Yeah, but we wouldn't. We do respect
boundaries.

Oh, Rita, I have sorted your undies into
sexy and around the house. I hope

that's okay.

Um, well, now I just have to give the
shower a quick scrub and I'll be done.

Good job. Thanks, Bullock.

Okay. Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a
minute. Wait a minute.

This doesn't mean, I mean, I don't want
to sound ungrateful, but Carbo and I

still don't want a roommate.

Dewey. Dewey Carbo.

Huh?

Uh, no.

Yeah. No, voila, sorry.

Of course not. It's not your dad. I just
wanted to help get the house ready for

our party.

Our party? Yeah, that's what I said. No,
I mean, it's our party. It's a party.

Never mind.

Now, give me five minutes and I'll start
making some peep in blankets.

Ooh, nice.

Meanwhile, there was a big empty space
where Kobe's love life should be.

But maybe not for that much longer.

I don't know. There's someone at the
door, some girl named Heather.

I don't know a Heather. I'm sorry I
didn't do a Q &A.

Al?

Um... Viv?

Hi. Hi.

I'm really sorry to bother you. No
dramas?

But I thought you might want this back.

It's your jumper.

From the car wash?

Oh, you go to the car wash.

I work there.

Heather.

You probably would have seen me mostly
from the side while I made the coffee.

Anyway,

you were pretty much the best sponge
we've ever had.

Everyone misses you heaps. Thank you.
Cheers.

Thank you.

So, um... How are things?

Well, um...

But, yeah, they're pretty. But... Wait,
wait, wait. So you're the Heather from

the car wash? Yep.

What? Toby.

Ow. Why don't you tell me that this was
Heather?

He's been talking about you so much.

Really? Really. I can't believe I'm
finally meeting you.

This is amazing.

Amazing. Pretty amazing.

So anyway, what are you up to now?

Hey. Um, I just, you know, I'm just, my
apprenticeship and... No, no, I mean,

right now.

Did you want to get a drink or
something?

Hmm?

Um... Well, tell you what, Heather.

Yeah. Three of us, we're about to go to
this party, so you should come. You

should, you know, you should bring it.
Come.

Okay. I should bring it.

What's on the menu?

Well, I'm doing ravioli from the start.

Crimped edges of the way to a man's
heart.

So you are still trying for Ted's heart?

Oh, well, there was a moment when I did
hope that something more might be

possible.

Does that upset you? No.

I'm happy to have Ted in my life in any
context.

Everyone needs a friendly male companion
from time to time.

Do you mean like Dad?

I said friendly, not absent.

I saw him today.

Father? Yeah.

Oh, that's nice. I assume you have
regular contact?

He said he and Natalie split up.

Oh, well, that's sad for him. I hope
he's all right.

Really?

Yeah, of course. I mean, things didn't
work out for your father and I, but at

the end of the day, we do share a
daughter.

Does this mean you might be ready to
meet him?

Now, why would I want to do that?

Well, like you said, when all is said
and done.

I think it might still be a little bit
too soon for a meeting.

Whatever you feel comes to mind.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been... Gee. Gee,
yeah.

Still got it. Still got it.

Right.

I'm off.

I thought you were staying in tonight.

Not anymore.

You can't leave me with this.

But you were the one who told him to
make himself at home. Yeah, well, he

take a seat, don't turn into a recording
studio.

Oh, you made too bad, Tom.

Evening, all.

See you, mate.

Even Dad's got a social life on a Friday
night.

What? This is social. We're being
social.

You guys should go out.

I can look after Ruby, no worries.

Yeah, no, that's okay.

Better than sitting and vegetating here.

You know, go and take them out for a
spin, mate.

You make it sound like she's a used car.

Yes, well, I feel like one sometimes.

Well, if it's a no, I'm going to go next
door.

Just sing out, change your mind.

OK. See you, mate. Bye.

Don't you remember when we won those
tickets to Eric Clapton?

Yeah, of course, that was a great night.
Yeah, do you remember how long ago that

was?

I'm not sure.

No, that's because your brain doesn't
stretch back a billion years.

Oh, fair go. We went to that Italian
joint recently.

No, I'm not talking about dinner. I'm
talking about a night out.

Everyone else in the world is out having
fun. Why can't we?

Well, there's always boggle.

Dave, I mean it.

We're not dead yet, so why are we acting
like we are?

Oh, yeah.

This is so great.

Yeah, mate, keep a pretty good turnout.

I don't really get invited to many
parties.

Well, I was invited to this one once
when I was 16, but I got asked to leave

when I stuck my head through the bucket
when bobbing for apples.

I really wanted to win.

Hey, Matt, have you met my cousin,
Bulla? Hiya.

Oh, I don't believe I've had the
pleasure.

That's such a nice thing to say, Matt.

I bet you're a real gentleman, are you?
Are you a real gentleman? I bet you are.

Not at the moment.

Hey, guys, having a good night?

Are you doing a top -up?

I'm fancy.

I'm right.

I'm Heather.

Hi, Heather, I'm Cabo. Oh, is this your
house?

Yeah, it is.

Kobe was just telling me that you were
here with your wife.

Oh, yeah, what else did Kobe tell you?

Kobe?

Kobe?

Kobe?

I'll be back in a sec.

You better have salt and vinegar chips
with you while you're not sitting down.

What happened to you?

Nothing happened to me.

You look all girly.

It's nothing.

Yes.

Have you seen Grinya?

Oh, it's too impressive.

No, no way. No.

He's showing what he's missing.

Who's your friend?

He did his fund and he's at the... That
is... He worked at the car wash.

Or something.

Or something.

Me. Her name is Heather.

That's all you got?

Mm -hmm. Hey, if you want to pick her
up, you can tattoo her yourself.

And then I realized it wasn't actually
Justin Bieber. It was a lesbian in a

-wheel drive. But still, it was exciting
for, like, half a second.

Can I give you my Heather?

Yeah, Heather from the car wash.

Hiya.

Hey,

come on. I'm sorry.

Sorry. Taxi.

Sometimes when you're filling the void
in your own life.

you become that little bit less
sensitive to the pain in other people's.

Why have we got a receipt for a
treadmill?

Do we even own a treadmill?

Is this it?

Is what?

What exactly? Well, is this our life? I
mean, you sorting through receipts and

listening to party music next door.

This is what happens to empty nesters.

Hey, don't forget about bugger lugs
here.

Yeah, no, no, I know I've got Ruby.

Until I speak, they don't really count.

I have to speak so I've got someone to
talk to. Hey, what am I, chopped liver?

No, darling, you're great.

No, I just miss the kids dropping in and
out of our lives, popping in for a

chat.

It's nice having Matt here, though,
isn't it? Yeah.

Yeah. Well, never a dull moment.

Although, what is that smell?

Yeah, I didn't want to embarrass Ruby.
No, no, it's not.

It's not Ruby. Oh, it's Matt.

Couldn't you wash those?

Well, these ones must have crawled away
and died.

Oh, he's got a real problem, hasn't he?
Yeah. You think?

This is my brother, Bryn.

Well, let me be the good host. Have you
met Frankie?

Hi. She works at Dave next door.

Bryn. Been far too long.

Oh, you two know each other?

Yeah, we dated.

Briefly. No, not briefly enough.

I'm just going to go be awkward with
someone else.

Frankie, I am so sorry. I just invited
him.

No, no, no.

It's fine.

It's fine. You didn't tell me.

We're OK? Fine.

I promise.

No, I'm guessing that's numb nuts.

He's nice shoes.

They come in men's too.

Oh, he's not that bad.

Why are you defending him? Because I'm
drunk or I plan to be.

Where is the beer?

Oi!

Are you the worst date in the world or
what, huh? Leaving poor old Heather over

there like that, like a little lost
lamb.

You didn't say she was your date.

Well, I don't know. I don't know. Is
she? Come on. I don't want to stand with

her all night talking about Robert
Pattinson.

Hey, Mark.

I missed you. Did you?

Not in a weird way, though, lol.

Oh, lol.

Laugh out loud. It's a texting thing. So
for a while, my mum thought it meant

lots of love.

Once she messaged me saying, Hi,
Heather, I'm really sorry, but we're

have to put the dog down.

LOL. Isn't that a scream?

That's random.

And done. I should get paid for this
stuff, seriously.

Hey, um, what's that girl like? She just
seems a bit perky.

Oh, your words, not mine. I don't know.
She seems kind of nice.

She's really got the hots for our coats.
I'm iconic.

Like to see the kids having a bit of
fun, eh?

all right, mate?

Yes, absolutely.

Come and sit down.

It's got you really rattled, hasn't it?
This business with Mark?

No.

He's made his choices and now I'm making
mine.

Okay, good, good. So, it's all behind
you now.

You've moved on. Yes.

Although I'd be lying if I didn't admit
to a glimmer of satisfaction that things

didn't work out with her.

So there's absolutely no chance... No!

After what he did, no.

So what's the harm in having a bit of a
chat?

You do share a daughter.

And what better way of showing him how
well you're doing than by having a

chivalry talk?

Matt, tell me, are you a fan of tempting
bowling?

Oh, you know, any sport where you can
drink booze and play at the same time is

fine by me.

Come on, I said you were funny, but you
were right.

Oh, yeah, sharp as a... Look, I'm really
going to have to... You see, I'm a new

convert to bowling. I think it's
amazing.

You know, it's like team sport, but you
can be an individual at the same time,

right? Yeah.

I'm sorry, how long did you say you were
in town for?

I was in town. Oh, I live in town.

Glad you couldn't make it.

Yeah, me too.

Oh, it must be weird to walk in the door
and know Ben's not here.

Oh, it's fine.

Look, I helped. I could stick a photo of
him to the wall and let you talk to

him. That would definitely make me feel
worse.

Hey, isn't he funny kidding?

I know. I'm sorry. I'm just a bit, oh.

I thought Dad today was kind of strong
on me.

You know, since when do kids have to
start worrying about protecting their

parents?

Oh, sorry, man. I didn't realize anyone
was in here. It's not what you think.

I don't suppose you've got enough to
share.

It's getting a bit quiet in here.

Come on.

Let's spread it out.

Total freedom!

I can't work out why McPhee got so upset
that we got this sack.

Oh, what?

Hey,

hey, hey, are you okay? What's going on?

I had a little pick -me -up. You want
some?

Mate.

Get off your high horse. Jake, it's
supposed to be a party. Where'd you get

Right down from Queensland.

What, so you've been high?

And that's why you've been acting like a
tool all night? No, I've been having

fun. Do you remember what that's like?

Who wants another beer?

No, you never are.

Um, yes.

Come on.

It's fun.

You're not going.

Oh, yeah, sorry, Laura. Your landlord's
a bit strict with curfew.

Yeah, plus it's getting a bit late for
an old bloke like me.

Well, you're only as old as the woman
you feel.

Bloody hell.

Maybe we should catch up sometime.

Go for a drink?

Yeah, what about your boyfriend?

You know, the one coming after me with
the machete.

The one?

You know, the one you go bowling with.

I'm sure he won't mind that. Uh, you
know, maybe some other time, though.

Yeah, sure.

Nice to meet you, mate.

Oh, your brother is hilarious.

Yeah, you think?

Yeah, look at all that energy.

Hey, Jake, how great is Alex? Yeah,
yeah, he's all right.

There's filling a void.

And then there's tipping over the edge.

Total freedom!

Are

you

home early?

Party that bad?

What do you reckon?

No, no, it was fine. I just had enough
of ducking and dodging Voola. Ah.

Yes, Voola, she certainly, um... You
say?

Well, I was going to say intense, but
yeah, that's what I meant.

So, you two too cosied up for me to
repeat my offer?

What offer?

Well, I'll hit the couch, you two hit
the town, Ruby and I will keep each

company. Oh, no, we couldn't. Why not?
It's not very late.

It's not every day you get a live -in
babysitter.

Yeah, what do you reckon?

You're the one who's been on to me about
us having a social life.

Well, I... I'll head to this room if
Matt needs him. I'll be fine. I'm happy

just putting my feet up here.

Pops will be open for a little while
yet.

Live a little.

Yeah, we could go to that new wine
-bound church street you've been wanting

go to.

Soft music, a couple of glasses of red,
just the two of us.

Hmm.

You all right? Come here, Smith.

Give me ten minutes.

Thanks, Faith. I owe you one. No
problem.

Hey, don't do anything I wouldn't do.

What about the city? We could hit it
across.

Sorry, mate, I'm going to have to pass.

OK, beard, back at our place. Oi, oi,
oi, it's over. Except a feet, OK?

Are you ready to go? No.

Come on, then.

Hey,

so I might hit off, eh?

Yeah, are you taking your date home?

Yeah, looks like it. She's a bit of all
right, eh?

Yeah, she seems nice.

I mean, Gil's never really into me, so I
guess I should go for it if one is.

Well, good luck with that. Yeah.

Are you going to be okay about Tosspot?

Yeah, yeah, Tosspot's a long guy.

Night, Ben. Night.

Oh, there you are.

How was the party? Oh, a cup of tea.

Are you all right, Mum? I think I've
done something.

A little bit silly.

What do you mean, silly?

I rang your father.

That's not a silly thing. That's great.

Unless you think it's a silly thing, do
you? Because if you do, then I

completely agree.

Not at all.

We had a nice chat.

Lovely, even.

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

We're going to meet tomorrow to catch
up.

Look, I know this is huge for you, so
whatever you need, I'm right here.

Although it's wrong.

Everything.

But you looked like you were having a
great time. You were talking to Matt for

ages.

What?

What?

He doesn't want to go out with me.

Because of my bowling boyfriend, the one
I met on the internet.

That's okay, isn't it? It might be too
complicated juggling two guys at once.

Well, that's the thing.

There is no bowling boyfriend.

He texted me to say that he found a
better bowling partner and she's

Oh, honey, please don't cry.

I'm going to die old and alone like
Melanie Griffith.

I'm pretty sure she's still alive.

No one's ever going to want me. Don't be
silly.

There's no point getting so upset,
honey.

Why don't you stay here till you feel
better?

Really? Of course, of course. I'll set
up the spare bed.

You shouldn't be heading out into the
world in this state.

Thanks, Ruth.

You're the best.

What?

You coming down or something?

good time until you pulled the plug.

I'm not trying to judge you.

I just don't know why you're wasting
your time on that stuff.

Because when I'm on drugs, I

wouldn't understand.

Try me.

Try me. Go.

Okay.

Sometimes, I dream that I'm normal.

You are normal.

No, I'm not.

Look at me.

When I'm on drugs, it's the quietest
I've ever been.

Alex is young. He's just testing the
boundaries.

He'll grow out of.

Smashing glasses and partying soon
enough.

Yeah, I just... I don't think he should
be acting up.

Not with CP.

Yeah, but that's probably exactly why
he's doing it.

Give the guy a break. He's just letting
off steam.

But... Maybe it was a one -off.

I often have wondered how life would be
if I were you

and you were me.

I wonder how different the world would
seem if I

were you and you were me.

But I'll never know.

There was a gap between how Alex saw
himself and how others see him.

Sometimes, we can all wish we had a
different life.

But it's up to us to make it happen.

To fill that void, however we can.

That's not an onion stuffed with garlic.

It was a kebab.

Morning.

Hey. Hey.

I can smell garlic.

Yes, we know.

You got in late last night. You heard
us.

I think the whole street heard you.

Had a nice night, I take it?

Yeah, we had a great time.

All I can remember is...

Good to see you getting out and about.

Yeah. I think I've been trying to fill
some sort of gap.

I'm not sure that 2 a .m. cocktails is
the way to go.

Morning.

Does anyone have to be in here?

Hey, look, I'm going to take the little
miss for a stroll.

Thanks. Thanks, Ted. I smell garlic.

A 2 a .m. cocktail.

You've had a night in the tile.

Please, Matt, I'm not in the mood. Never
fear. I am the hangover king.

Give me five minutes, I'll have you
turning cartwheels.

I know I said go out. I didn't mean
trash yourself.

Pick up some of my stuff from storage,
but this is fine for now.

Believe me, I'm nothing without my hair
dryer. It has four speeds.

What are you doing?

Moving in. What? Why?

Because Rita said to stay until I feel
better.

Yeah, but only in that one night.

Carbo, would you be a gentleman and take
my beauty product bag upstairs?

And be careful.

She told us she could stay. I didn't
mean that specifically.

Carbo!

Honestly, the place is amazing. It's got
your touch all over it. Well, we love

it here.

I bet you run a tight ship.

Well, I like to keep it nice and relaxed
and swallow that gum.

You're looking well, if I'm allowed to
say so.

Well, I'm a business manager now, so I
have to keep up appearances.

Never thought I'd see you in managerial
mode.

It suits you.

Thank you.

Listen, about Natalie.

I don't want to talk about her now.

I just want to say, not the best
decision I ever made, let's put it that

No argument from me.

I miss the family we had.

Well, let's not be sentimental about
this.

You do live in Melbourne now.

That's just the thing.

I'm moving back.

Really?

I feel like there's been a hole in my
life since... I've been so far from

and from you.

No, no, no, what the hell are you doing?

I'm just finishing it off. This is too
much, mate.

Okay? Like, taking drugs at a party,
that's one thing, but doing it in the

light of day, it's just... You wanted me
to get a job. I'm making work calls.

What? So you need to be high to apply
for a job.

I'm not high. I'm over it. It's not
funny.

Okay? You sleep it off. That's enough.
I'm not going to bed. What? So you're

going to hide out in the bathroom all
day doing drugs?

I'm going for a walk. Is that all right
with you?

Alex was no longer filling a void.

He was digging a hole for himself.

You really know where to get good stuff.

You can help me out.

Totally.

How much do you need? And once you start
on that slippery slope, it's hard to

climb back out.
