The world might be falling apart, but you know what? I couldn't care less.

Because nothing beats that rush you get when you first start seeing someone.

Hey, you. Hey, you. Why aren't you having lunch with me?

You miss me?

Maybe. It depends where you snuck off to.

Oh.

You'll find out soon enough. And this rush, or whatever it is, nothing can

it. Oh, no!

What? Not again. These bloody mongrels. I've got to go.

All right.

Bye. You've just got to enjoy the rush while it lasts.

Nothing's there, I just locked my keys inside.

Is that right?

Yeah, you're a dork, tragic.

You were very lucky that I missed you.

Missed them all.

Won't be so sure about that.

Lunchtime's over.

Back to work.

So they already know.

Yeah, I know, and I kind of wish they didn't.

What, you're ashamed of me? No, I just, what is between you and me is private.

Look, I'm not going to pretend that this asked didn't happen.

I'm not asking you to, I'm just saying don't be so obvious about it.

I mean, uh, want to get that for you?

Spook something.

Don't even.

Oh, have a look at that smoke. What have you two been up to?

As if we don't know.

Do you want me to draw you a picture?

Cody's Hill. What? They started it. Oh, look out. The mistletoe's getting

heated. Okay, you lot, let's get some work done around here.

Kirby, whereabouts are the lights?

Lights?

Yeah, the garden lights. We're here for the job this afternoon.

The ones you were going to pick up at lunchtime? Oh, yeah. No, I'm on top of

Dave. It's on the top of me list.

Hey, mate, I'm happy for you. I really am, but don't let it affect your work.

course not, Dad. All right?

Kirby,

lights, lights.

Do you want me to draw you a picture, mate? Yeah, I'll be back before you know

it. Messy business, this puppy training. If you try rubbing his nose in it...

I'll rub your nose in it. Hey, joke's over, Matt. Give it a rest.

I'm sorry about this. I promise from now on it's just business as usual.

How can I run a business with half my staff making goo -goo eyes and the other

half sending them up gutless?

Kobe and Frankie?

Young love and small business don't mix.

I knew something like this would happen.

So it's on?

Yeah. How's Kobe handling it?

Cloud nine.

Oh, good for him. That's great.

The young love.

I vaguely remember what that was like. The obsessing. The excitement.

The going out to get garden lights and coming back empty -handed? Yeah.

Waiting for the phone to ring and being blissfully happy when it did.

Blissfully, eh?

Yeah, all floaty and happy.

She carried on like a banshee whenever I tried to answer it. Ah, pfft. No, I'll

get it. It could be him.

Oh, dear, I was not that bad.

Oh, you were worse. Yeah.

I must have been irresistible. Yeah, all right, OK, well, that's enough.

The column's not going to write itself and Donna's dropping round later.

Knock, knock.

Hmm. Later, you said later. I couldn't wait.

He called.

Who? He said he would, but you know what men are like. I'll say anything.

But he did.

Can you believe it?

Well, I might have if I knew who he was.

Duncan, of course. Ah, the oh -so -handsome man from the Bring a Single

Dave, you remember Duncan, don't you?

Grey hair, perfect teeth, the most gorgeous man there.

No, I only had eyes for George and her teeth.

Mm -hmm.

You were just so sweet on the phone. Such a gentleman.

Oh, you're sweet. Listen, look at you. You're all happy and floaty. Can't help

it. He seems perfect.

Well, maybe he is.

I was thinking of asking him around for dinner.

What do you think?

I don't want to rush things too much, so I don't want to scare him off. But I

don't want to play it too cool either.

Well, right now I don't think being too cool's in danger.

If you like him and he's a gentleman, then how can it go wrong?

You always know what to say.

I wish.

Caught up in the rush, you can forget even the most basic rules.

Like boundaries, for instance.

Good colour coding, babe.

Oh, you have to be organised for the bank. Now, are you sure we've thought of

everything? Mm -hm. References, education certificates, business plan,

five -year projections.

And my ideas, boys. Ooh.

Evidence of a market, financial records for the existing florists. And new

socks.

Whoa, bright new socks.

Impressive, huh? Made these little fellas scream confident.

They certainly scream, all right.

Trust me, they open doors.

Well, I think they're cute.

The bank's going to have to give us the money now.

Hey, done deal, babe. In an hour, Tool's Flower Shop's going to be out.

And then we can transform it into our own outdoor urban spaces business.

It's really hard to say. We really need to think of a name.

Plenty of time for that. Yeah, we can brainstorm in the car. Let's go.

I take it you've come up with an idea.

Ah, yeah, well, it's not my usual sort of material, but I can hardly ignore the

passion in the air.

Frankie and Kobe, Donna and Duncan.

And his irresistible teeth.

Yeah, it's about the first flush of love and that wonderful romantic rush that

just takes you over.

Not that I'm ever going to feel it again.

Well, thanks a lot.

No, no, well, you know what I mean.

Well, at least we have.

Not everyone does.

No, no, I'm not complaining.

Well, OK, maybe I am just a bit.

Do you remember when we first met?

How could I forget?

It was the first time the Swans played at the SCG.

Maybe I should wear red and white more often. Well, if you do, there'll be

consequences.

I thought you were so handsome. I couldn't take my eyes off you.

Yeah, that's good, because I couldn't stop looking at you.

Yeah, both have a ticket feeling. We didn't see much of the match.

Well, I remember everything about it. We sat on the hill, when you get to do a

sit on the hill.

And the Swans played North Melbourne. No, no, they were playing Richmond, and

sat in a stand.

I think you're thinking of a different match.

I don't think so, darling. We're talking about the day we met. Yeah? Yeah.

Well, it almost didn't happen. I mean, it only went because Karen fancied some

guy that was going.

Yeah, yeah. I was trying to convert some rugby mates, but... Yeah.

I kept looking at you, and you kept looking at me. I thought someone's going

have to make a move, so I asked you to sit with us. No, no, no, no, no, no. No,

no, I asked you.

No, no, not true. Yeah, I did. No, you didn't. No, I can prove it. I can call

my rugby mates. Well, I'll just ring Karen, shall I? All right, go on then.

Well, there's not going to be much point. It's not like they're going to

remember.

Yeah, I guess not.

So, not only are we never going to experience young love again, we can't

remember it in the first place.

Yeah.

It was a sock.

Hey, it wasn't the sock.

He threw his face full of coffee on his crotch.

He probably shouldn't have tried to wipe it off, though. He had to do something.

He was in pain.

This is all my fault.

Can someone let me out?

Cabo, it wasn't the sock.

The bank liked us. They were impressed with our business plan.

Yeah, they said our outdoor urban spaces idea was clever.

Not clever enough to hand over in dough.

That's only because we haven't got enough capital. We need more. No money,

socks. What a killer combination.

It's such a good little business, too.

If we don't grab it, someone else will.

Oh, God.

Why did I quit my job?

Oh, it's okay, baby.

Now, whoever buys it off Tula might keep me on.

I'm a legend with baby's breath.

Well, we need to get the cash somehow.

I suppose we could talk to my parents.

I guess I could speak to my mum. Or maybe we could just buy a lottery

I'm guessing they're from you.

You like them?

Yeah. Don't get me wrong, Cobes. They're lovely. It's a dog poo.

Isn't it? I tramped it through here and... No, it's not... I'm such a knob.

should have taken my shoes off.

How did you get in?

Oh, it was too easy.

You broke into my house.

Yeah, well, I wanted to do something romantic to surprise you.

You're not happy.

Are there any other romantic surprises that I should know about? What? No. No,

never. I left the flowers and then I got out of here. Oh, you're angry. I'm

sorry. I didn't realise. I thought you'd be pleased. It'll never happen again. I

swear.

You're an idiot. A complete dickhead. I'll get rid of them.

No, I'm sorry.

No, I've got it.

I've got it. It's cold.

Stop. Stop.

You're not angry at me, are you?

No, I'm not.

Glad you're here.

You can help me with something.

I'm just a bit too late.

Back yet?

Perfect.

We're going to be there.

They say fools rush in.

Then call me a fool. Because I wouldn't miss that rush for anything.

Oh, we were both wrong. We're going to play Melbourne.

Really? I just found my old diary.

Oh.

I was so sure I'd asked you to sit with us.

I knew it was me. No, no, it was Karen, my friend. No way.

Well, that's weird. I'm sure I asked you. Yeah.

No, no, I thought I remembered it as clear as day.

Yeah, well, knowing how you women work, you probably put her up to it. Oh.

I was beside myself. I would have come up with some lame excuse to come over.

Oh, you were such a show -off.

Me? Yeah. Look, at the end of the game, when the Swans kicked footballs into the

crowd and you fought off two guys to get one to impress me. I'd forgotten about

that. Did it work? Well, I'm still here, it must have. Well, it was worth the

elbow to the groin then. Yeah.

You dropped me home. We couldn't bear to say goodnight, so we sat in the car

talking till four in the morning.

Yeah. And then Ted went off his bread when you finally went inside.

Yeah.

What a day.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to feel that way again?

Yeah. Though I'll accept the Ted bit, of course.

I don't know.

I think that'd be pretty wonderful, too.

You're pretty wonderful.

Yep. That rush of blood can keep you awake at night.

Sometimes, for all the wrong reasons.

Rita? You asleep?

With both of us unemployed?

The baby might not come to that.

I know.

I know.

I keep telling myself, you're a legend with baby's breath.

Will you get mega angry if... If I don't ask my parents?

Even though they're safe for a while, they'll just take over.

They'll be called readers in no time. They'll make you sell statues with no

heads and ugly little chirp things that pee when you clap and Garner knows the

whole Greek flag.

Hey, if that's how you feel, of course I won't be angry if you don't call them.

In fact, I'll be mega angry if you do.

We'll get there.

Somehow.

I could tell you stories. Could you teach me some more?

Tell you about the countries you've never been before.

I'll go on forever, forever and a day.

Until you lose the interest, right then I'll walk away.

I won't let that happen while we both belong.

I can be the singer.

You can be the song.

I'll be waiting for you when you

come home.

What are you doing?

I wasn't snooping. I was thirsty.

What, so you found a tap in my book and poured yourself a glass?

No, it wasn't like that. I just, I was coming back to bed. I just saw your book

and I know how mad you are about baits. So I had a look and the photo just fell

out. I was just putting it back.

Do you have a good look?

No.

For this to be able to work, I need to be able to trust you. You can, I swear.

Hey, look, I'll prove it. I'll tell you everything.

Even the things I'm most ashamed of.

Please, just sit with me.

Please.

So, Dave gave you a job and then you ripped him off?

Yeah, but, you know, it wasn't me.

Well, it was me, but... It doesn't feel like me.

I'm a different person, you know?

Grandad, um, Tom... He ran out of tea one day and...

He told me to go buy some more and I was just a kid and I said I didn't have any

money and he just laughed and said, well, I didn't tell you to pay for it.

I guess I just got used to not paying for stuff and doing what he told me.

But I swear, it's all in the past and that's a lot to do with Dave. I know I'm

going to do a good thing with him and, you know, with you.

And I'm not going to do anything to wreck it.

If you don't want to know me after this, I don't blame you, but like you said,

you've got to be able to trust me, and I'm not going to lie to you.

I want you to know everything there is to know about me.

I'm glad you told me.

Really? Yeah.

You know, you can talk to me too.

Don't get too excited. There's not much to tell. Oh, come on. It doesn't matter.

What? You're my favourite topic.

Miss Blakey, that's your dad.

He looks nice.

Yeah, he was.

We haven't finished with you yet.

I have just spilled my guts all the way across your lounge room and... Oh.

Oh.

Speaking of.

Baby, wake up.

Wake up.

Glad you could make it before lunch.

I'm sorry, Dave. I know I have to do business as usual. I just have this...

no, it's not Frankie's fault. It's my bad.

I saw a picture of Frankie's dad and... Toby. Dad got us talking about when I

was a kid. All right, true confession.

Yeah, it was really pathetic. I was like, yab, yab, yab, yab, yab. Yeah,

like now? Yeah, and then Frankie fell asleep on the couch. So it's not her

fault. It was my method. Look, I actually don't care who spalted it. It's

I've got of stock tech to do. And you're live then. So I hope you haven't got

any plans for tonight, have you?

No, not anymore.

All right, well, you go.

Dirty dishes.

Standards have slipped since I moved out.

You're here early.

Is anything wrong?

No, I just thought you might like a lift to work.

Well, to be honest, there's... I want to discuss a business opportunity with

you.

Now? I thought it would be better if we were alone.

Well, actually, I was going to go to work later.

So why don't we talk at work?

If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to get rid of me.

Don't be silly.

It's just a bit inconvenient.

Morning. You must be Emma.

I'm Duncan.

Hi.

Good to meet you.

Pleasure to meet you.

Duncan.

Not a good time.

Understatement.

It could have gone better.

Hey, how's your mum?

Ah, excellent. Really well.

Yeah, couldn't be better.

So, what did she reckon about the new business?

We didn't exactly go there.

She had company.

Company? He was wearing a dressing gown.

Whoa! And it wasn't quite long enough, so when he turned around and bent

You saw his tackle? I saw nothing.

I remember nothing. I've wiped the entire incident from my mind.

Poor thing.

It wasn't so long ago you were hoping your parents would get back together.

Well, I don't have to worry about that now, do I?

Sorry. So we didn't exactly get around to discussing the flower shop. Would

been a bit of a stretch.

And under the circumstances, it's not going to happen any time soon. Hey, it's

okay. Cabo doesn't feel right about talking to his parents either.

So where do we go from here?

We need some advice.

Morning.

Oh, morning, Greta. How are you?

Oh, I'm a little bit worried, actually.

Oh.

Can I talk to you?

Uh, yeah, if you're quick. I've got to get Ruby to daycare. I've got a column

due. Yeah, oh, this won't take long. Well, not if I leave out bits, but if it

gets confusing, just say, okay?

Okay. So Tula wants to sell the flower shop and we want to buy it, so we gave

her all of our savings to buy the Goodwill, only now we don't have any

left to transition because I left my job and Carbo wore his bright new socks,

but the bank manager spilled coffee all in his crotch, and if Tula sells it to

somebody else, then Carbo will be too.

What? Out of work. Which wouldn't matter if we could talk to his parents, which

we can't, because then we'll get stuck with all those ugly little cherub things

that pee when you clap. And Emma tried talking to her mum this morning, but she

can't now, and you really can't blame her, because it must have been so

embarrassing.

Sorry, sorry, just seeing that guy in his... in her mum's dressing gown.

Oh, a guy? What guy? No, no, no, sorry, you're running late.

No, no, really, I've got to get to the shop now anyway, so... Hey, thanks for

listening. Good chat.

OK,

I want details, lots of details.

Purely for research, for my column, of course.

So, my take at dinner went rather well.

He was such a gentleman. Oh.

And kind and thoughtful.

Mm -hmm.

And polite in the lounge room. Mm -hmm.

And not in the bedroom.

Oh, okay.

So, how does it feel at the beginning of a... You can never tell, can you, from

the way a man looks?

I guess not.

It's like Clark Kent in Superman.

One minute the mild -mannered property developer, and the next, woof. Oh.

I just felt so different, so liberated. That's the word, liberated.

Whoa, liberated. He must have been quite something.

He was.

I feel as if I can finally move on from Mark.

Oh, well, that's wonderful.

I'm really happy for you. Yes.

So, what do you think caused the first rush of... It was during dessert. He

a mouthful of mousse and suddenly got this wicked look in his eye.

Like a cheeky kitten with a ball of wool.

Yep, the rush is only fun for those actually riding the wave.

So

how's

my housemate getting on these days since I don't see him much anymore?

Yeah, good.

Until he starts talking like last night. Yeah, he can be a bit full on. I just

never realised he was that deep.

Deep?

Kobe, are we talking about the same guy?

Well, it kind of made it easy for him growing up like that. But, I mean, you

know about that. Hey, don't look at me.

What are you talking about? You're practically family.

Well, he's told me a bit, but I don't think he speaks to anyone much.

Till now.

Oi, don't hold back a mic out. No, let's just get this job finished.

Looks like you created a monster.

No offence.

Kobe, he's a good man.

I'm happy for you, babe.

Maybe handling the rush is just a matter of practice.

You know, if you can tame the rush, then maybe there's hope.

Well, you'd think after all that I'd have been exhausted.

Exhausted? I would have put him for long service leave.

But I just felt so guilty about all those dirty dishes in the sink that in

middle of the night I got up. Oh, you didn't. I was just going to give him a

quick rinse and pop him in the dishwasher. Oh, you are hopeless. You

Well, I thought he was asleep, but he must have heard me because he crept into

the kitchen and sprung me at the sink. Oh, you know what? I think I've got

enough material. Who knew that he had this thing about aprons?

Thing? They get him all excited. Oh, frilly ones, mostly. Oh, look at the

That's plenty.

Thanks for sharing, but I've got enough research.

Oh, actually, probably more than enough. I should get on with the column.

Oh, next time, please. Can we just leave it till next time? But you know how I

told you that Duncan was a property developer?

Well, it turns out he's a very successful one. And I told him all about

and now he's expecting a phone call from Dave. And this is his card.

Oh.

Yeah, thanks, Duncan. I appreciate it.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Okay. Thank you.

Well, that's kind of positive. Sounds like a nice guy.

Yeah, so I hear. Mild -mannered, thoughtful, so polite in the lounge

Right. Well, he wants to meet me in half an hour.

Yeah, well, you'd better get work out of this. You have no idea what it costs

me. Oh, and whatever you do, don't wear an apron. What?

Yeah, Frilly is out. Trust me.

Okay, guys, change of plan.

We're going to have a chat with the property developer on our way to our

job. You good to go?

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, and I want you on your best behaviour.

What, so no rugby sales?

No, uh, polo things? No, I'm serious.

This could mean a lot of work, which means a lot of overtime.

Yes! We love that word!

What about me?

Oh, well, you can get started on a stock take. But I thought Frankie was going

to do it with me. Well, with a tape or something or whatever. You'll work

something out. Come on, don't want to be late.

Hey, did you get my text?

Yeah.

What, and you missed back?

I was on a job.

Oh, no, come on, don't be like that.

I've got to go.

See you.

I see you're an equal opportunity employer.

Yeah, Dave's good like that. He employs blokes as well.

Yeah, they're a good team. Get on well.

Always ready for a joke.

Sounds like you have a lot of fun together.

Oh, that's what it's all about, isn't it?

I've got a feeling this is going to be a good fit. Yeah, well, the job seems

pretty straightforward.

Yeah, it should take you about four weeks.

I reckon we can handle that.

And if it goes well, enough.

I can provide you with references.

No need. I rang around before I came.

Hope you like what you heard.

I wouldn't be here if I didn't.

Neither would I.

Excellent.

I like electricians and all their stuff, and I don't charge like wounded bulls.

Yeah, well, I don't undercharge either.

Doesn't mean I won't try and beat you down.

Doesn't mean I'll let you.

I think we've got a deal.

We should seal it over a drink sometime.

I'd like that, but I've got another meeting now.

How about you come round to our place tonight?

The broker knows the way.

You can both come, maybe.

I'd love to.

So, can I get you anything from our list of food that we sell?

Menu? That's the one.

No, we're done, thanks.

Oh, that was quick.

No mugging around.

When you see what you want, jump on top.

On board.

On board.

I'll just... Well, this could be the break we've been waiting for.

Good old Donna, eh? Yeah, sounds like she's not complaining.

Yeah, no, not the word I'd use.

And if the deal goes as well as I think it might, we could be in the clear

financially.

Oh, great.

OK, well, this column is about as good as it'll ever get.

Excuse me?

Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No more sneak preview.

What? There, sent. You just have to read it in the paper like everyone else.

Well, what's the point of having an inside contact if she won't talk?

None whatsoever.

OK. Dad, could you just play with Ruby for a second?

I think we can manage that.

I'm just going to duck next door and see Retta. And this is how we thought we'd

expand the business into outdoor urban spacesuits, like this balcony and then

this.

It's great.

I love it.

Really? Yeah, honestly, I'm really impressed.

So what's it going to be called?

Well, that's a work in progress, yeah.

Oh, well, it'll come.

So, from what you're telling me, all you really need now is some capital.

Yes. Yep.

That's all nothing important.

Well, I'd love to help out, but financially... Oh, no, no, no, no, no,

hope you didn't think... Oh, no.

God, no, that's awful. No, we'd never dream of asking you for the money. Yeah,

not even if you had it. We're not even asking our parents.

Yes. Really?

Yeah. I told you that earlier.

Oh, yeah, right.

We did think about it, but no, not the way to go.

Yeah, well... If you can manage, it probably is better to stand on your own

feet. Anyway, you've got everything on your side. Your youth, enthusiasm.

I don't think we just jumped into this without thinking it through.

I know you'll find the money somehow.

This meant so much to me, you coming round. Oh, that's sweet. I didn't do

anything. No, but you did.

Times like this, when I really miss my parents, they're...

Have someone to talk to and things go wrong or... I'm a bit stuck.

Oh!

Oh,

I feel for them, I really do.

Who? The guys next door. Why's that?

Have you been reading my article?

No, I was just... What?

Just checking some figures. Oh, you can read it tomorrow, just like everyone

else. Anyway, moving on.

Why do you feel for them?

Oh, they're just so young, full of hopes and dreams.

Hope it works out.

Well, like you said, they're young.

If it doesn't, they'll bounce back, do something else.

Yeah, whereas we're just running out of time.

Are you sure writing this column's good for you?

Yeah, of course, I love it. Why?

Well, you're coming across all... What?

You know, reflective.

Well, that's the whole point, darling.

That's what writers do. We reflect.

And I'm just a sparky. What would I know?

No.

No, Jules.

You're never too old for hopes and dreams.

Hey. Stock takes all the most down, boss. Excellent.

How'd it go?

Yeah, good. Looks like we got the contract.

Oh, that's great. Awesome, in fact.

Yeah, sorry about before. Just the way things worked out.

That's all right, Dave.

Stock can't take it still.

Hey, take us to Keyes and I'll lock the vans.

So, you and Frankie, eh?

Yeah, how lucky am I? I still can't quite believe it. Yeah, I'm happy for

mate, but all the crunchy things you don't know.

Yeah, get me every time.

Sorry, what were you saying?

Look, you must be walking on air, but could you just keep it separate from

eh? Yep, sure, I will. Yep, good.

Yep, so we need more batting holders?

Noted.

Duncan's coming round for a drink. Join us later, eh? Sure.

Hello, you.

Hey, you.

Give us a kiss for a second. No, no. I've got to do this work, eh?

Oh, you're choosing baton holders over me?

No, just this work and then you go.

Separate. And right now, things are in the shed. I'm guessing work, right?

Oh, nice wheels.

Is that it?

Yep.

Hey, Duncan.

Glad you could make it.

The solution's all mine.

Maybe not entirely yours.

You seem to be in a good mood, Donna.

I always enjoy introducing friends.

Hey, Kirby's having me a new client.

Hey, Duncan, this is Kirby, our apprentice.

Delighted, Kirby.

Smart move, teaming up with this lot.

Yeah. You going to join us for a drink?

Um, no, I can't. I've got things to do.

That's bad luck.

I'll come and show you the operation anyway.

I might just pop next door and see Emma.

Things to do?

Yeah, it's true.

All right, not so much, but if I come, it's only to hang with you and, you

we don't need to spend every second together.

Come on, stay for a drink. I can't now. I've already said I was busy.

Well, you can always change your mind. I'm sure Dave would appreciate it.

I might, too.

Now, I'll swing by later.

You know what these are?

They're keys. They open doors.

You can let yourself in if you like.

I know it must have been a bit of a shock for you this morning.

Yeah. All those dirty dishes piled up in the sink.

What did you want to talk to me about?

Doesn't matter.

Yeah, I've got it under control.

Are you sure?

I'd like to help.

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks, but no.

It's sorted.

Why don't you come next door for a drink? I'm sure Julie won't mind.

I'd like you to meet Duncan properly.

You mean not in your dressing gown?

I will, Mum, just not tonight.

Look, I'm tired and I've got an assignment to finish.

Get you a beer?

Thanks.

So, what do you think?

It's a very impressive little operation.

Just the sort of business I like to deal with.

Okay, help yourself to nibbles, everyone.

There you go.

Cheers. I can feel the toast coming on.

Oh, here's someone I want you to meet.

Ted, this is Duncan.

Delighted, Ted. Same to you, Duncan. I've heard a bit about you. Oh, Ted.

Don't embarrass me. Never, Donna. Never. And why be embarrassed?

No reason. No reason at all.

Okay, everyone. Here we go.

Well, uh... Cheers.

Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.

There's a boy throwing rocks down my window.

Sitting on a bench down...

Frankie, didn't mean to startle you.

No, that's all right. I got them.

I figured they sent you out for supplies.

Oh, no, no. I just wanted to have another look over Dave's set up.

Fair enough.

No need to rush off.

I'd better get these back.

Sounds like a good chance to get to know one another.

Oh, come on. You don't want Donna wondering where you are.

Or Dave.

Never know when he might come looking.

Especially since I've got his beers.

Still friends?

Enjoying yourself?

Well, that depends.

Are you?

Very much so. They're lovely people.

I know.

And is Ted behaving himself?

Ted's being a perfect gentleman, just like you.

He took your time.

Well, I could die first.

You okay?

Yeah.

You just look a bit pale.

No, no, no. I'm fine. I just don't think I'm having a jumpy stomach. I just need

to eat something.

Well.

You make sure you do. Yes, Mum.

Any ideas?

I want to say yes, but me neither.

You know, it's all very well standing on our own six feet, but we keep coming

back to the same old problem.

No capital.

Hey, honey, I didn't hear you drive in. Oh, you know me. For the surprises.

Oh, and garlic.

Yeah, sorry.

You've got to get a kebab to celebrate.

Celebrate what?

Oh, nothing.

Just our entire future as a kebabs.

Honey, have you been sniffing the poppies again? No.

Oops.

I don't know what that is.

Could you get that for me, babe?

Check. Really?

For $30 ,000?

What? But... But nothing.

Business partners fallowed to your capital.

Where did you get it? Sold the charger.

But you love that car.

Hey, I've said goodbye to it once before.

No biggie.

Oh, Carver.

All for one on one floor like the Musketeers.

Musketeers. Whatever.

It's a future that counts.

How have you been doing?

Hi. Nothing, I was just checking it out. No, I told you not to touch my thigh.

Are you listening to a word that I say? Frankie, it's okay.

Don't, don't.

Hey.

Don't touch me.

What's wrong?

Frankie, please.

I can't believe that I'm never going to be able to talk to him again.

He was my absolute hero and I was just as important to him. I know

my sisters had such girly girls and I was like

the son that he never had.

You're the first person I've laid in here since he died.

You know, I had no idea. I would never have gone near it. Yeah, I know. I'm

sorry about that.

I guess I was just a bit rattled by something that Duncan said.

I'm dead.

What do you mean?

Doesn't matter.

What?

Honestly, it's nothing. I'm probably just being a drama queen.

What did he do?

Kobe, please. What did he do?

Nothing.

I just... I went into the shed to get some beer and Duncan followed me in and

shut the door and made some stupid pass.

He what?

Honestly, nothing happened. I handled it. Did he touch you?

No. Because if anyone touches you, if anyone lays a finger on... You can't

anyone.

You're going to let him get away with it?

I'm not going to be responsible for messing up Dave's new job.

With that creep?

I handled it. I told you.

I... He's not...

It's going to be a problem. Can you promise me you're not going to say

Can I trust you?

Hey, I paused it. You missed the best bit. They're about to nuke the

Come in. Just make him your favourite.

Oh, hot chocolate. Marshmallows?

Yeah, of course.

Oh. Oh, that's okay. You have it.

No, you have it. No, no, it's fine.

Cabo, it's your favourite. And besides, it's just not the same about the

marshmallow. Anyway, after what you did today, the least I can do.

So, does this mean I'm going to get the special treatment tonight?

You might be.

I should make sacrifices more often.

Babe, what you did today was amazing.

Yeah, we're all going to have to make sacrifices along the way.

I was just the first.

It'll be worth it in the end.

Drink your chocolate.

Now that's what I call a successful day.

Donna scores a bloke and we score a contract.

Oh, Dave, you were supposed to read that in the paper. I couldn't wait till

tomorrow. Might have known. Did you have to reveal all this stuff? I only call

you by the wrong name once.

Yes, well, it was in the timing, darling. It could have been better.

Oh, what you can't write. That would make me sound like the most boring man

the universe. Just read to the end.

Oh.

Yeah, oh.

Is that what you really think?

It's on the paper, isn't it? It must be true.

Yes, the heady highs of that initial rush faded, but the intensity laid

the foundation for what was to come after, 30 years of intimacy and

Oi, shut up, Boots. Keep going.

That rush was magic, but I've discovered there is a deep richness to love that

only time can bring, and I wouldn't swap it for all the world.

No doubt.

Here comes 30 years of intimacy and commitment.

I gather you've read it. It's lovely, Julie.

Thank you. That's how I feel. The column is discussed. Now it's off limits.

Never to be mentioned again. Oh.

You couldn't stay for drinks, mate.

It was a good night.

You'll enjoy getting that done. He's a good bloke. Next time.
