All language subtitles for Packed To The Rafters s06e02 First Time for Everything

Mum always says, darling, there's a
first time for everything.

Sure, there are some small firsts, but
then there's the big ones.

First love, first kiss, first time away
from your wife and son.

Hello.

Hi. Hi, guys. He can hear you.

Oh, what's he doing? He's got his
listening face on. Hello, Edward.

Daddy.

Can't blame him. There's nothing much to
smile about with you guys over there

and me here.

Oh, look, isn't he gorgeous?

Hello, Edward. Hi, little man.

Oh, sorry, sorry to interrupt. Hi,
Saskia. Oh, look, it's fine.

Oh, look, he's growing so much.

Oh, sorry.

Anyway, I'll be seeing you both soon.
Bye, Saskia.

Bye, Edward.

We've created a monster.

And I don't mean Edward.

How are you feeling about the job
interview?

Good. I hope I get it. I need you guys
here.

We'll be there really soon, won't we,
Edward?

We'll fly over and be with Daddy.

See that? He just smiled.

He did.

It was his first real smile and it was
at me, wasn't it? It wasn't wind.

Definitely for you.

Next time I want to be there in person.

Look, you'd better get ready.

I want to keep talking.

I know, me too.

But we've just had a little chuck,
haven't we? And you'd better get ready

You don't want to be late.

I love you guys. We love you too. Bye,
Daddy.

Bye, Daddy.

First smile.

That had to be some sort of good luck
charm.

Righto, guys. Wish me luck.

Is it that time already?

No, I'm early. Of course you are. Good
impression.

Yep, plan is to go in there, wow them,
get them to employ me, start the rest of

my life in that order. Wow, you look
great.

Mum. What? Is that really necessary?

Try and stop her. Do you think mum's
ever stopped prepping their sons for job

interviews? Obviously not. Bet Richard
Branson mum still spits on a hanky and

wipes his face.

Rose. Behind every great man is a woman
covering him with saliva.

Exactly. So, you know much about the
job?

Only that it's working in sales for
charity, trying to drum up sponsors.

So it could mean big bucks?

Could mean good -sized bucks.

Well, you're the man for the job.

And you're the mum for the man for the
job. That's right. Yeah.

Come on, march.

And I am the husband of the mum of the
man for the job.

Good one, Dad.

Oh, hang on. What, what? Mum, are you
going to follow me the whole way? No,

no, just to the door. Then I thought I
might wave at the nice man through the

window until he gives you the job.

Oh, I'm kidding.

Okay, go. Okay, bye.

Good luck.

Mom! I'm going next door.

Good luck.

Thanks. Here it is. Extra, extra. Read
all about it. New business led by hot

grid guy.

Led? Yes, simple headline.

Open it.

There we are.

Oh, that's an awful photo of me. Oh, not
possible. I have a giant chin.

I look good.

So, you like it?

It's great.

It makes the living balcony look like an
awesome new business. What's not to

like? Yeah, we look like go -getters.
And fun. It's never fun.

Thank you so much, Julie.

Oh, for a good cause.

Did you want to see a copy or anything?
No, no, no. I just wanted to drop that

off. Bye. Bye.

Right. Well, I better get in the shower
and get going.

Me first. I have a customer. What about
me? I've got a client meeting too.

What about the roster?

What, the bathroom roster now? No, the
shop roster. I'm opening up this

remember? So?

So, it makes sense that I should be
first in the shower.

I have a meeting with a potential
client. I need to look sharp. We can

you like.

What? I can meet the client, you can
open the shop. What are you trying to

Nothing. What, you think I can't handle
a simple client meeting?

Of course not. So, what, do you want to
swap?

Okay,

well, tell me more about your setup.

So, we're a small organisation.

Tiny, really.

Certainly cosy.

Well, what can I say? We use the money
to help people, not rent glamorous

offices. Of course, that's all right.
So, um, the job that I'm applying for...

Yes, so you would be our liaison with
local business, sweet -talking them so

that they'll sponsor us.

Right, so selling the charity to the
public.

Exactly. Oh, but you also get to
interact with the people that we help.

Wow, that sounds amazing. Oh, look, it
is.

And everyone who works here does it for
the love of the job.

It's not about the money.

Which was going to be my next question.

Well, keep in mind that it's a rewarding
job when I tell you that the salary is

probably less than you're used to.

How much less?

Well, there's still a last little bit of
funding to be locked in. I mean, we do

get by. It's just sometimes a bit of a
squeeze.

But a fun one.

I'm not selling this to you very well,
am I?

You're offering me the job already.

Well, with your background in sales,
you'd be perfect.

Oh, thank you.

To be honest, we've been having a little
trouble filling the role.

It's not exactly everyone's cup of tea.

I see.

Well, that's a first if you're turning
down work.

Was it that bad?

No, she was really nice.

And it's a good cause, but they just
seemed a bit disorganised and they

have no budget.

Oh, sweetheart.

She couldn't even offer me a coffee.

But can you understand that I don't want
to take the first thing that comes

along? Like, I have to get this right. I
have to support Ed, wouldn't I ask you?

Good for you, mate.

No, you think I should have taken it,
don't you? Of course not. You do what

feels right. Oh, onto bigger and better
things, huh?

Absolutely.

How'd the interview go?

Don't ask.

You off, Dad?

Looks like it.

Going to see Eleanor?

Mm. Well, Dad, the office still stands,
you know.

Next time she drops you home, why don't
you just invite her in? Maybe I will.

I just don't want there being any
secrets between us.

Neither do I.

Wow, mate, what a great space.

You're running late.

Am I? I hope your tardiness is an
indicator of slackness in other areas.

Of course not. I'm after a team that's
efficient and on time.

Yep, that's us.

So, uh, you heard about them on a
website?

Yep, and I read about you guys in the
paper this morning.

Yeah? Look, I'm not after a fun team of
party animals.

I want experienced people who can work
to my budget.

We can do that.

Great.

That's what I'm after.

Mate, that looks great.

So what's your best price?

Sorry? Your quote for the job. Say, $8
,000?

Well, you know, I'm going to have to
take a look. I'm short on time, mate. Do

you reckon we do business or not?

Well, let's see. Look, if you'd rather
go have fun somewhere else, there's

plenty of other companies that I could
go to that would quite happily take this

job. Yep, $8 ,000.

Great. Well, something like $8 ,000.

Eight thousand, the quote that I heard.

She totally loved our style. You know,
everything.

But even with the extra help, the job
was just way out of our league.

It's a shame.

It killed me turning down work.

Girls, we got the gig.

What? Carbo, that's great.

I mean, that's amazing. When do we
start? We should go around there and

them a quote.

Well, there's no need for that.

Why not?

Well, because I already gave him a
quote.

Oh, Carbo.

Honey, we need to figure out how much
it's going to cost first.

Yeah, I know. But, you know, the guy was
being really pushy, you know. He put me

on the spot. Well, at least we got the
job.

What are the details?

Okay. Well, he wants to turn his
courtyard into this.

Ooh. Wow.

Yeah, from this.

Oh.

That's massive.

So how much did you quote him?

Emma's right, you know. We've got the
gig. Carbo.

Eight thousand.

What?

Eight thousand.

Are you insane?

Have you even had a look at this
picture? It's going to cost a lot more

that. Look, there's landscaping and
electrical... We're lucky to break even.

Yeah, I know, but we're out there now.
This might even lead to more work. Oh,

yeah. At those rates, everyone will want
to hire us. We'll be renovating the

entire neighbourhood for nothing. You
weren't there, Gay. The guy came out

He knew we were a new business and he
kept pushing, he was pushing and... Hey.

We're booked.

OK?

You know, focus on the positive.

I'll get the champagne.

Water.

Nice view from there, huh?

Can't blame a bloke for having a squiz.

Peering over a fence trying to catch a
glimpse of a girl who barely knows

alive. What is this, high school? It's
romantic. It's creepy and...

Look, just be careful. Emma's ex is Ben.

Oh, what's big bad Ben going to do? He
does have a black belt in ninjutsu.

Actually, it's only a brown belt, but
combine that with his anger management

issues. My God. And you are?

This is Nathan. I'm Ben's brother.

Right. Buzz. Ah, you're the new Sparky.
Nice to meet you. You too.

I'll be seeing you around.

I'll tell your brother he's got good
taste.

Are you right?

Okay, one thing we can't use is cheap
materials.

Yeah, but we have to slash expenses
somehow if we're going to break even.

Hey, I can do most of the work myself,
you know? The physical stuff, I mean.

Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've helped
heaps of my cousins on the building

You know, my cousin Jim, he said I
handle his forklift like a poet.

Is that a euphemism?

A what?

Great. So Carbo takes care of the
physical labour and looking hot in a

Hey, you got it. If we could keep the
sexual harassment to a minimum for just

five minutes. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Okay, the client wants garden lights.
That's an electrical job. Yeah, it's

a massive job.

Red Art, look, I know a bit over our
heads. A bit.

Emma, will you please... No, no, no, I'm
not getting involved. You see what he's

done? I've done nothing. You're the one
who started it.

G'day, G'day.

Hello. Hi.

Thought I'd come and check out the new
shop. It's great.

Yeah, hey, you want a tour? Yeah, of
course. Come on.

I've been trying to convince the girls
to let me build a bar back here.

I should cancel my lunch date.

Can't cancel.

Besides, he's a handyman.

Get it?

I'm glad you called.

Yeah, me too, actually. It's a funny
coincidence.

You're not going to tell me we're long
-lost brother and sister.

Oh. Good.

Carry on, then.

Um, well, as you know, I own this
outdoor space kind of design company.

Well, long story short, we need a few
favours for this big job we've got.

And here I was, thinking a beautiful
girl wanted to ask me out, when really

was just using me.

I'm sorry.

I don't mean to put you on the spot,
but...

If you know anything about garden
lights... Sorry, electrics aren't really

area of expertise.

Oh.

Is that it?

Date over?

Move on to the next trading?

Of course not.

So, does this mean if I was to ask you
out for a drink tonight, you wouldn't

no?

I wouldn't dream of it.

Sorry, I have to take this?

Yes, go ahead.

Hello? Craig, it's Donna.

Can you excuse me a sec?

How can I help?

Oh, nothing urgent. Just checking that
we're still on for tonight.

Tonight?

Yeah, yeah, looking forward to it.

As am I, very much.

Not that I am.

Well, you know, I'll see you soon.

Bye.

Sorry about that.

Does it work?

Sort of.

I told you I'd call you in the morning.
What time is it there?

Oh, Edward's been crying. I can't sleep.

Poor thing.

Him or me?

Both of you.

Have you tried? Oh, please don't give me
a list of things to try. I've done all

the tricks.

Twice.

Are you okay?

Time for trick number 853. Bye.

Bye.

And then there are some firsts you don't
want.

That feeling when your wife needs your
help and you're not there to give it.

It's just been tough on her since I
left.

Her baby's hard.

That's an understatement. And I'm not
there to help.

Surely she must have someone to lend a
hand. What about her family? No, that's

just it. She doesn't. Both her parents
are gone. She doesn't have any siblings.

Oh, poor thing.

I don't know what I would have done with
that mum and dad when you lot were

born. Why do you think we moved back to
Australia, Nana Julie?

Warm weather.

And free childcare.

Oh, Grandpa Dave's going to love that.

I shouldn't have left so soon after he
was born.

Darling, she wanted you to, remember?

You're setting up a new life for your
family.

Sleeplessness and crankiness would go
with the territory.

Yeah, I just wish I knew what I could do
to help.

Be a rock.

Can you be a rock from the other side of
the world?

You can.

All right.

Carbo, this area is twice the size that
you estimated.

Because under pressure, I'm measuring
steps.

Steps. How big are your feet? Oh, wow,
this is even bigger than... It was big,

yes, big.

How'd it go?

Oh, no luck.

Not his area of expertise.

Bummer. Yeah, but I did manage to score
a second date out of it, though, so, you

know... Ooh.

Details,

please. It's nice, but not until later.
Oh, he has something on this evening.

Oh, pretty cold.

Carbo, shut up. Keep going.

OK, he's Mum's handyman. Is that weird?

No, it's kind of hot. Not quite as hot
as a pool boy, though. Oi.

Didn't think you'd have time for a
gossip session. Oh, this is a pre

thing. I should get back to the shop.

So,

who's taking charge here? I am.

Listen, Rick, we understand with this
job that time is... Well, it doesn't

like it.

Perhaps I should outsource the water
feature to somebody else. Because I'm

spending a fortune just to be mucked
around. We'll do it for no extra charge.

What?

Okay.

I appreciate it, yeah.

Good job, Britta. Excuse me, you're the
one that got us into this mess. Well,

you didn't make it work. Keeping the
client happy is not the same as giving

a completely unrealistic... Oh, Jess!
No, you're an idiot, as usual.

No, no, I get it, I get it.

Fine.

You're perfect, I'm not.

I want to talk business.

Hey, Carver, nice to see you. Yeah,
we've got a small electrical thing as

of our living balcony job. Small.

Which means freebie. No, it doesn't. But
if you're offering, I'll take it.

Mostly, I'm after a discount.

Oh. And don't think I've come running
straight to you.

Emma's already tried some sparky friend
of hers, but it didn't pay. Yeah, OK, so

we're second choice.

Not helping. Hey, I'll give you a hand.

Yeah? Yeah.

Well, lunch break's in the weekend.

Won't interfere with any of our job.
Good to hear.

What's your name, mate?

Bud. Both? Yeah. What's yours?

Cabo. Cabo.

I'm ready to grant mine.

Both? You're a dead pill agent.

You're a very generous man.

That's what they say.

Especially when you hear Emma's name.

What, is that her business?

Must have missed that bit.

You are good. You are good.

Oh,

here he is, staring at the local paper.

Signed any autographs yet? No, not yet,
no.

Is Nathan here?

Uh, yes.

Yeah.

Carver, hey. Yes, unless you're packing
vodka.

Don't tell me work's that rough already.

Well, me and Rita had our first big
fight.

Oh, God.

One for the scrapbook.

We never really fight.

Every couple fights eventually.

Do you and Sarge care? Not really.

I mean, we have our differences.

Yeah, but you sort it out.

I mean, that's what people want for each
other to do, right? That they talk

through it.

Yeah, something like that.

She called me an idiot.

You called him an idiot?

He's just... carbo with a bit of extra
stress.

You know what she takes out of me?

That's life, mate.

You can't just exist in this love bubble
where everything's perfect all the

time. Why not?

You've got to trust that your
relationship's strong enough to survive

parts. I'm telling you, you're going to
be fine.

You are kidding me.

That smells amazing.

Roast pumpkin risotto with rocket and
walnut salad.

Admit it, you're going to miss this once
I'm gone.

How is it that you can cook like this
and then every night at Jake's you are

having takeaway pizza?

Well, a man's got an image to protect.

Where's all the mess?

This is takeaway and you've hidden the
container, isn't it?

Admit it. I'm offended.

I'm even a slow stirrer. This took me
over an hour.

Who taught you to make risotto?

No, no, it's risotto.

Okay, who taught you to make risotto?
One of my illustrious careers was as a

dish pig for this Italian joint, if you
can believe it.

Is there no beginning to your talent?

Thank you.

Anyway, Salvatore, he was the head chef,
he took me under his wing and he taught

me a few of his signature dishes.

Sweet old bloke he was.

Why have I not heard this story?

Well, you never asked. Now, sit. Eat.

No garlic bread?

Garlic bread?

Classy. What do you think this is, Papa
Luigi's?

Who are you?

What have you done with Matt?

Hey, suspicion gives you wrinkles. Now,
there's a glass here ready and waiting

for you. Who can breathe?

It's a Chianti.

Pepper?

I don't know. Cowboy was just a bit
distant or something.

He must have done something wrong.

Yeah, it was good publicity for them.
Yeah, that's what I thought. They came

across as a young, vibrant company with
lots of energy. They should be wrapped.

Now I know why I keep you around.

I'll go eat young Cabo. He's got a lot
on his mind.

First time for everything.

Oh, good, you're all here.

Ah, are you in for dinner, Dad?

Actually, there's somebody I'd like you
to meet.

Hello, Julie.

Mrs McCormack, hi. Oh, no, Eleanor,
please.

Gosh. I can still see that little girl
who used to sneak into my backyard.

Um, I'm Dave.

Sorry, yes, and this is Nathan, our son.
Hi, nice to meet you.

We were just passing through and I
thought I'd say hello.

Oh, I brought an orange cake.

Oh. I remembered how much you loved it.
Thank you.

Oh, I didn't realise we were
interrupting dinner. I should go. No,

no. It won't be really for a while,
so... Why don't you stay for a cuppa?

Oh, that sounds lovely. Thank you.

Well, Nathan was the third. He was the
youngest. Until recently.

Oh, that's right. Ted mentioned you had
a younger sister.

Much younger.

Yeah, my Ruby. The best surprise anyone
could have.

That's what you said about Rachel. But
once I got over the shock.

Rachel's our eldest.

I love each of my grandchildren equally.
Except for Ben. He's barely tolerated.

I'm the favourite.

Then who?

It's a given. I'm the only one that's
made you a great -grandad.

True, true.

My little Edward.

Named after a great man, I hear.

You're very lucky, Ted. You have a
beautiful family.

Well, that's all thanks to Julie.

The best daughter anyone could ask for.

And I was involved too.

Dad. So, Eleanor, did you and... Sorry,
I don't actually know his first name. Mr

McCormack, did you ever have kids?

Brian and no.

Unfortunately, kids weren't in the grand
plan for us.

But no complaints.

I shouldn't stay.

Oh, don't rush off.

Well, no, it was simply nice to drop by.
I just wanted to say hello.

Hello, Eleanor.

Hello, Julie.

I'll walk you to the door. Thank you.

See you again, I hope.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You know, Dad was his old self tonight.

Was he?

Eleanor makes him happy.

I'm impressed.

Good. I feel like we're moving forward.

What about when she starts sleeping
over?

Right. If you two are going to stand
there and talk about Grandad's sex life,

I'm leaving. Well, you could always give
him the hand, you know. Well, I'm just

waiting for the staff to give the Skype.

Wasn't that meant to be 8 o 'clock?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Well, she's probably out taking over for
a walk.

Yeah, that's probably it.

I was saying one thing.

But my instincts were saying something
else.

Switch me on.

Turn me up.

Don't want to fall, let you make for
love.

Craig,

how lovely to see you. Good to see you
too. You look great.

Oh, this is new.

I almost bought it in blue.

But then I thought, well...

That's not actually a very interesting
story.

I'm glad you like it, though.

Sure.

Everything all right?

Sorry? You just seem a bit away with the
pixies.

Oh, sorry. Just things on my mind.

You know, we don't have to do anything.
We could just talk, if you'd rather.

Well... Why don't we have a glass of
wine?

No pressure.

That'd be great.

Might be nice to chat.

Get to know each other a bit better.

It's just a stupid date. A stupid date
that you're really nervous about. I'm

ridiculously nervous, but that doesn't
mean I have to go.

Why wouldn't you? I just don't want to
leave you here alone feeling miserable.

For God's sake, I'm not an invalid. I
just had a dumb fight with my dumb

husband, okay?

You need to go. Are you sure? I'm
positive.

Besides, this guy could be Mr.
Wonderful.

You don't want to miss a second of it.

Okay? Now go, go, go, go, go, go.

Where have you been?

I went for a walk.

Thought I'd clean my head.

Right. I should go.

Then I got hungry and I thought you
might be too.

Toast with red curry with extra baby
corn.

You remembered.

And my wife.

Your favourite curry's tattooed on my
brain.

I'm so sorry.

Me too.

You're not an idiot.

I love you.

Hi, it's me.

I'm not going to keep hassling you. Just
give me a call back when you can. I'll

leave the phone by my bed.

Bye.

Oh, yeah.

Dad, what are you doing?

A little privacy, please.

Sorry, Matt, I was just passing.

Everything all right?

She's not answering. Something must be
wrong.

There's no point jumping to conclusions.

I need to get over there.

I could be on a plane first thing.
Nathan, just calm down. Sleep on it

Sleep on it? Dad, what if I'm sleeping
and my wife's losing it?

I mean, I knew it would be hard, but I
just... I miss them.

Of course you do. They're your family.

If I get a job by the end of the week, I
should probably go back.

Right. I mean, what was I thinking? I
left her there with a baby. He is so

small. Of course she's stressed. Jason,
stop beating up on yourself. You love

them.

You want what's best for them.

Trying to make a life here is all part
of that plan.

Yes, then why does it feel like I'm
doing everything wrong?

Because you expect too much of yourself.

Always have.

Just know that whatever you decide, your
mum and I are on your side.

Aunty Val, now she thought that I should
go into hospitality.

She was a cake decorator.

So out of all the options, I didn't
think that hospitality would be the one.

once I started, I just felt so
comfortable.

Well, you certainly are a people person.

That's very kind of you to say.

I'm not sure that my daughter would
agree with you.

She worked for me for a while.

And badly?

No, but she certainly didn't get special
treatment.

I'm boring you. I'm sorry.

No, no, not at all. Just, uh, I can't
stay.

You've got somewhere to go?

Well... Oh, no, don't tell me. I don't
need to know who. I'm sorry, what you're

doing.

Oh, we're having such a great time
chatting. I just lost track.

Yes, of course. Let me pay you. Donna,
you know what? There's no need. Oh,

be silly. It's your time. No, really. It
was just talking.

Semantics, here you are.

Now, let's not speak of it again.

Can you break me, honey?

Why'd you have to do that?

I'm so sorry.

I thought I'd been stood up.

Oh, ten minutes. You can forgive ten
minutes, can't you?

First round's on me.

Are you okay?

Yeah, just, yeah, just annoyed at being
late.

Let me get the second round, too.

Oh, look who's getting cocky.

Who said there will be a second round?
Hey, I'm the one on the back foot here.

The very least you could do is let me
shower you with drinks and affection to

make up for it. What kind of affection
are you thinking about? I was going to

start with some verbal flirtation and
take it from there.

Oh, yeah.

I'm listening.

Okay, this one.

Yes.

Throw it out.

Running across the cliff.

Really?

I just got something over here. It's a
bag.

That was good.

So does this mean I've got the green
light for the next round?

I should go.

This is the bit where I tell you how
much I want to see you again.

Come along with me.

Look, Alan.

I know it's early days, but I like you.

A lot.

I like you too.

You're thinking it over, aren't you? I
can tell.

It's just work tomorrow.

And with that, he loses her.

You haven't lost me completely, just
tonight.

Is there someone else?

No.

Well, an ex, someone else, but...

That's long over.

And you?

The answer is no, actually.

You had me worried for a second.

I respect your decision to go home
tonight.

Why, thank you.

But trust me, I'm going to persuade
harder next time.

And I'll let you.

Hello? I'm so sorry. Where have you
been? I've been trying all night. I

know. I just got all your messages. I
didn't have my phone.

I've been so worried. I know. Look,
Edward wasn't sleeping, so a friend came

over and we just drove around trying to
get him to drop off. I guess I lost

track of time. I'm sorry.

What friend?

Sorry, I'm just... Look, today has just
been a horrible blur. Can we not talk

about it?

I thought something terrible had
happened. I was five minutes away from

on a plane. Don't be silly.

I'm not being silly.

Do you have any idea how insane it makes
me being this far away from you guys?

I want to come home.

But you need to find a job.

This is getting ridiculous.

To hell with a job. I want to book a
ticket. Nathan, you're not listening to

Were you listening to me?

Last night when I was trying to get a
hold of you? Nathan, why are you

to me with that tone?

I haven't done anything wrong.

Okay, okay. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm just exhausted. And I
know you are too, even more so. But when

couldn't get a hold of you, I just... I
understand.

I freaked out.

I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

I love you.

You wouldn't happen to have any of that.

Just the girl I want to see.

Oh, hi.

Listen, I haven't forgotten about the
job.

I'll be around on my lunch break to give
you a hand.

Great. Hey, thanks so much. We really
appreciate it. No problem. All part of

service. Well, see you there.

You bet.

You might want to roll that tongue back
into your mouth there, buddy. We don't

want to be tripping over it while we
work. Yeah, nice of you to help out,

I'm sure they really appreciate it. Oh,
it's no big deal. No, that's good to be

there, Billy.

Particularly when it's not a lunch break
and it's not cutting into company time.

Message received loud and clear, boss.

I'll be back at 2 o 'clock sharp. Yes,
you will.

Hey, Nathan, just the man I wanted to
see. You feel like helping out with a

little muscle today?

Sorry, mate, I've got somewhere else to
be.

Oh, here's the surprise.

Hope I'm not interrupting anything.

Clearly I am.

Cool, we were in need of a break.

How can we help you?

Hi, my name's Nathan Rafter, and I'm the
fool that turned down a job here

yesterday.

I've had a bit of a think about it and I
think, no, I know that I made a

mistake. And if the job's still going,
I'm your man.

For the first time, family trumped
career.

And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Although we didn't, you know, do
anything.

It was a lovely night.

We chatted for ages.

You paid for a chat?

Well, it was more than a chat.

Connection. I see.

He didn't want me to pay.

Right.

Donna, are you sure you're still keeping
love and sex separate?

Yes, it's just business.

Because it just sounds like you're
growing a little bit fond of him, that's

No.

Although, I've seen this lovely cashmere
jumper that'd just suit him to a tee.

Donna. Oh, no, I didn't say I was going
to buy it for him.

That'd be ridiculous.

Applause.

You're looking at a newly employed man.

Oh, congratulations, Nathan. That's
great.

Where? Refugee Assist, the charity.

Looks like I am their guy after all.

I thought you said it wasn't for you.

It'll do for now.

Darling, just because you're worried
about Saskia doesn't mean you should

any job you get. It's a great company.
Mum, it's a great cause. I think I just

judged them a little too harshly.

And what could be better than helping
people build a better life for

Am I right?

You're right.

Good for you. Thanks.

Hi,

um... Hi.

What are you doing?

I'm Marco, hi.

Oh, hi, good.

What are you doing?

I'm cooking, cleaning.

And you're Italian?

Si. It certainly makes sense.

Where's Matt?

Yes, Matt, my friend.

Hi, Marco.

Si? I was thinking gnocchi.

Gnocchi. Ah.

This is going to take some explaining.

All the cooking and all the cleaning.

Marco. Yes?

Yeah, look at him. He loves it.

You're exploiting... What are you?
You're a backpacker, a tourist?

Well, whatever. For your own personal
gain? No, for our personal gain.

But that's beside the point. Yeah, you
lied to me.

Lie is such an ugly word.

Why do you put up with this? He's using
you. No, he's not. Yeah, no, I'm not.

It's simple barter.

Well, what does he get out of it?

You know, I don't... Marco cooks and
cleans, and in return, I give him free

rides to the cab and the old guitar
lesson.

Boom, boom, baby, baby guitar.

Wah, wah.

See, it's all good.

Friends.

You're unbelievable.

I have no money.

He is the best.

Is Lockie going to make it up?

Gnocchi. How's it going?

Oh, hey.

So you plan on making a lifelong career
out of this sort of thing?

We'll see how it goes, I guess.

Hopefully. I'm always in the market to
help out a pretty girl.

Really? Because you should be in the
market for a better line.

If I had a dollar for every woman in the
world as beautiful as you, I'd have a

dollar.

Okay, back to work.

Hey, thank you, by the way. We do
appreciate your help.

Don't worry.

I won't call in any favours too fast.

Let's say involved cocktails and long
walks on the beach.

So is that a no to going out for a
drink? I'm afraid so.

But you know I'll ask again, right?

Oh, bloody hell!

What is it?

Matt, do a pipe by the look of it.

And the smell.

Carbo. It was an accident.

What the hell's going on?

Sorry, mate. I didn't see it. What do
you mean you didn't see it?

I'm not paying for this. Hey, calm down,
mate. It's not a big deal. Not to you,

maybe. A quick visit from the planet and
you're good to go. No, no, no. I'm done

with you amateurs. You're fired. And
you're paying for every single cent of

damage.

Oh, come on, Rick.

It was awful.

And he barely gave us enough time to
pack up our stuff.

Poor things.

The whole job was cursed from the start.

Anyway, I don't want to think about it
anymore.

Change of subject.

Macrame.

Trendy or tacky?

I had a date last night.

Who with?

Someone great, actually.

Names? No, better, photos.

I'll tell you in good time. I'm just
feeling my way at the moment.

Have you two spent the night together
yet?

Mum, I hardly know the guy.

Life's too short. I think you should go
for it.

Really? Well, just because you're
intimate with someone doesn't mean you

marry them.

Why can't we separate love and sex?

Wow. I like this you.

Hey,

Mr. Ed. Why the long face?

Look, I'm just going to come out and say
it.

You had an accident on site.

Oh, God, are you okay? Is Emma? Yeah,
yeah, we're fine.

So what happened?

We got fired.

What?

There was a pipe, okay? You got a little
bit smashed. What do you mean, little

bit? I was digging. You did this. Greta,
you have to calm down. Calm down? We

lost the job, Carbo. Why should I be
calm? Plus damages.

We also have to pay for the damages.

How much? Look, insurance will cover it.
Okay, case closed. We need to move on.

We shouldn't have taken this job. We're
actually going to lose money now. It's a

busted pipe.

Okay, all costs covered. No, they're
not.

What?

What do you mean? Because we're not
insured.

Yes, yes, we are. No, no, we're not
insured now.

What the hell are you talking about?

We couldn't afford to pay for the full
year, so I asked to pay monthly instead.

And? And this month I let it lapse,
okay?

I was going to pay them on Thursday.

You didn't think to tell me this. I
didn't expect you to start smashing

Oh, this is all my fault. Jack, you took
the job. You smashed the pipe.

Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Perks. Oh, don't you
turn this around on me.

Excuse me. I can't believe what you've
done. You guys are lying.

There's only one thing worse than a
first fight.

And that's a second one.

You two all right with this? Yeah, fine.

Good. Well, I might have an early night.

I'm having lunch with Louis tomorrow.

Great.

Night, Dad. Night, Ted.

Eleanor.

I'm having lunch with Eleanor.

Sure.

See you in the morning.

Cuppa?

No, thanks. Why don't you sit down? I'll
finish up here.

What are you doing?

I assumed I was persona non grata.

What, because you lied to me about your
Italian maid?

Can we not talk about that again,
please? Poor old Salvatore, who took you

his wing, taught you how to cook.

Well, okay, that was partly true.

Which part?

The Italian restaurant. I have been to
one.

Bloody hell.

Okay.

I lied. I was honestly trying to do the
right thing. I just did it the wrong

way.

I know how protective you are about
where you live.

Listen, I know you're not a jerk, all
right?

And if you and Marko want to continue
with your little playdates, then who am

to judge?

Sue, you're telling me I'm not kicked
out?

You're not a monster. You don't have
anywhere else to go.

So for the minute, I'm saved.

Just keep looking, all right? Right.
Until you find somewhere decent that

the back of a car.

Yeah, you're fine to stay here. Oh,
you're getting soft in your old age.

Rub it in, I might change my mind.

So what can you cook?

Well, I'll do a mean cheese on toast.
I'll eat cheese on toast. That's when I

don't burn the cheese. Look out,
Nigella.

No, I like to think of myself more like
the chef in The Muppets.

Yep, there's lots of first times.

Some of them are small.

While some of them feel big.

It's the first time you allow yourself
to hope for the future.

And the time you choose just to live in
the moment.

Are you happy with the place?

Yeah, they're a great team doing really
important work.

It'll be good to build a company from
the ground up.

Why haven't they built themselves
already?

I mean, I thought that you said... Babe,
babe, babe, they're hungry for it.

Okay, they're hungry for it, and that's
the main thing.

Well, then great.

Next thing we find a house, and then
Edward and I will be there before you

it. I like the sound of that.

That's my cue.

Tell him I love him.

Of course.

Oh, and tell him I love his mum.

Bye. Bye.

How was that, mate? All good?

Yeah, fantastic.

She was roughed about the job.

Oh, what did I tell you? I told you it'd
all work out.

You have a gift. Oh, I know. And don't
ever forget that.

Night.

Edward,

will you please shut up?

And for the first time in a long time, I
felt everything was at

last falling into place.

gift and promise softly roll you
