Blokes nowadays have forgotten how to be men.

Look, there's a lady waiting and your tea's getting cold.

You don't lean on others or go boo -hoo when you break something.

You fix it.

Have a felt like this.

Here he is. I'll pour you a cup.

I was a bloody idiot.

Wasting something so precious.

Sorry? Just listen.

I put at risk everything that I care about.

A marriage. A little girl.

Eleanor was a fancy.

That stupid mistake.

Dad.

It's you that I want.

Always has been.

Can you forgive me?

Of course I forgive you.

My lovely Louie.

Eleanor, here, let me take that.

Oh, thank you.

I know how your father felt. I always have. He didn't understand what he was

saying. Yes, he did.

He just said it to the wrong person.

Well, maybe I should say something to him. No, leave it. But he'd hate to

you.

Another Louise moment?

Yeah. Jules, he's not in control. Telling him wouldn't make any

knows? It might.

Yes, we rely on the generosity of sponsors.

No, companies like yours can really make a difference.

Every contribution helps.

Ah!

Alanor. Thank you, that's very kind.

No problem.

Can I see a game of Battleship?

Oh, I don't know. You always win. Come on, I never took you for a chicken.

I'd be delighted.

I love mirrors.

I know.

I can never pick which view is better, the front or the back. But with a

I can see both at once.

We should get to work.

Oh, again?

You want to stop? No, I meant to the shop.

It's not fair leaving Em on her own all morning. Yes, but it's better for her if

we're happy, and I'm happy.

Me too.

So, you pregnant yet?

Oh, I don't know. Maybe.

Let me see. You can tell. No, I can't tell. But I do feel more relaxed than I

have in weeks.

Yeah. All these daily effects, you think you've sucked the fun out of it, but

I'm totally up for it. Oh.

No Juno.

Do you know the name?

We taught her something. See, we are good parents.

Come on, let's celebrate.

Ten minutes max.

No problem.

Okay. Great, thank you. Bye.

Oh, I thought that would never come. That was my first big sponsor.

Oh, well, well done.

Small sponsor.

Now I know it's possible.

To manage a baby and a job.

So long as your boss lets you work from home and your parents do the housework.

Are you okay?

Yeah, of course.

Now, what goes where?

Everything just goes there.

Oh, darling, it's better to have some kind of system.

No, because I'll just mess it up if I grab a bib or something.

Yeah, well, why don't you just let me sort it? No, I like it. It's okay.

Darling, it'll take a second. Mum, don't, okay?

You don't need to roll these socks, cos he's not going to know if they don't

match.

This sure is yours.

Oh, no, I meant that... Cos you used to dress so well.

Just leave it. OK, Mum. OK.

It's all you can manage.

Yo, Nathan!

I've been on hold for 20 minutes listening to Greensleeves over and over.

want ice cream. And every time that message comes on about how important my

is, I think someone's picked up.

Well, at least you get more time to play with little Edward. It's not playtime,

mate. It's bedtime.

That's a strong gaze. He's really alert.

Sleepy time.

Daddy needs to work.

Why don't you take him inside and find a quiet spot?

There's no such thing. Hey, you could work from our place, couldn't you,

Yeah, sure, while we're at the shop.

Are you serious? Yeah, yeah. I'll grab you a spare key. Thank you.

Hello. Hi.

It's Nathan from Sydney Refugee Assist.

Oh, he's really alert now.

Could you just... What? While I... Sure, sure.

Hi, hi, hi.

Yeah, I was just after your call. Hey, little guy.

Oh. Uh -oh.

Is that G -I -O?

Anyone home?

Hi.

No, everyone's out.

Working. I know.

I'm here to cook, clean and help smooth the path to success for the Living

Balcony Gang.

That's very kind of you. Oh, well, for reasons I won't elaborate on, I've

decided to throw myself into helping others.

Around my boat club commitments, of course.

Good for you.

I think I'm going to find life's real rewards right here.

At Carbo's? Oh, no, no, not here exactly. I just mean not out there.

Can I get you a nut smoothie?

No, thanks.

Or a disinfected work area?

I'm all good. I think I might just... Oh, I understand.

You want me to... Thanks, Donna.

Not a peep.

You won't even know I'm here.

Hi. Hi, it's Nathan Rafter here from Sydney Refugees. Yes,

I was just... Can I just give you... Oh, you've gone.

Donna?

Sorry.

I could tidy up outside.

That's a great idea.

Who keeps a legal oil handy just in case you need to wake up a baby?

He was only trying to help. As if Donna tried to hinder. Oh, she can bring down

government.

Goodness, that's over.

I don't think I can handle another defeat.

I suspect you're letting me win.

I would never do something so gentlemanly. Oh, yes, Ted, take no

Taylor. Eleanor, the constant gardener, McCormack.

Eleanor, would you like to take a dinner?

Oh, gosh, it's at that time already.

The hours just disappear when we're together.

I'm so glad you're in my life.

I've got to get going. I won't stay for dinner, Julie. No, stay. I'll see myself

out.

Something I said?

Yes. No.

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

It was something you said to Mum.

Nice. I should have known it was her.

How could I not know it was her? Dad, Eleanor understands.

She just sat there for hours all smiled.

Well, the woman would do anything for you. That's not your concern.

Where are you going?

Can't a man go for a walk?

Dad!

You like me, don't you? What?

I was talking to Juno. She likes me.

Yeah, of course she does. Edward doesn't. He cried when I looked at him.

Red, our babies cry all the time.

Yeah, you're right.

And I am wearing yellow. That energy can stress babies out tomorrow.

I'm going to try pastel, maybe blue or green. Hopefully that'll work.

Whoa!

Oh, hi, Mr. Taylor.

Sorry, she can be a bit excitable.

Get it off me!

Keep that. I'm not going to put this on until I take a chance.

A man has to stick up for himself, doesn't he?

I'm

fine.

It's just a bit scary, that's all.

What was?

You're going to ruin dinner.

What was scary?

Bet you Donna had cooked something delicious.

Mr. Taylor and Juno had a bit of a running.

What do you mean?

Oh, she was barking and he kicked her away.

Yeah, but he didn't mean to push me.

Well, he pushed you.

Whoa, all the labels are facing out. Reda.

And in alphabetical order.

Reda, I'm talking to you.

Look, I should have been holding on to the leash tighter.

Well, I'm not going to talk to you. No, no, no, no, no. Look, he's not well.

The rafters aren't exactly telling people, but he's got dementia.

Oh, no.

Does he... Does he realise?

Yeah, he just... Gets a bit confused, makes a few mistakes.

Poor bloke.

That's why I look after Ruby sometimes.

But he's never hurt Ruby. Oh, not intentionally.

God, it's awful.

Still, I think we should talk to him.

Why? I think the Rafters have enough to worry about as it is.

I'm not dead after your phone.

Nothing?

It's getting dark.

I just want to know where he is.

Maybe he's at Eleanor's.

I hope not.

So angry.

Angry at himself.

You see that sunset?

Oh, I bet you want a pint.

Not that you could capture something that beautiful.

I'll put this up in a moment.

He doesn't remember anything, does he?

Probably a good thing.

So you're right. I shouldn't have told him. I just upset him for nothing.

Well, maybe he doesn't need to know about every single incident.

Yeah, but he would hate that we're keeping things from him.

I should shake on it. I'll go.

Hey.

Yeah.

Before you get started.

I know what I said to Eleanor.

And I don't want to talk about it.

I reckon that's a man's privilege.

I'll give you a hoy when dinner's ready.

Eleanor Louise.

Listen, I was hoping that you'd come watch my mate's band play tomorrow

Dead Table?

Well, you know, they sing that song.

I got burned, doo -doo -doo -doo -doo -doo -doo.

Okay, make it stop. I'll go.

Yes. Provided we go in a group.

Yeah, a group of two.

No, a group of friends. We'll go, won't we, honey?

No, I thought we were going.

It's not a date.

No, it's a double date.

A fun midweek outing with friends.

What are you doing? Looking for the blanket.

What blanket?

Oh, the blanket. I'm sure it was here.

What, yes, but which blanket? The purple blanket.

Oh, right, okay.

Do you know where it is?

Yes, Dad, I know where it is.

Oh, thank goodness.

Come on back to bed.

Make sure Jules gets it.

If she wakes up without it, she'll start bawling.

I will, I promise.

About two, I had this little purple blanket, like a security blanket.

Couldn't get to sleep without it, apparently.

That's what he was searching for.

He was worried I wouldn't be able to sleep without it.

He was staring straight at me, and he didn't recognise me.

I mean, I've seen him confuse Eleanor with Mum, but this...

He's not gonna know who I am.

I'm only gonna exist in his memories.

You didn't even laugh or use freeze frame or say, what's this best bit?

Well, you'd be the same if you had to endure an hour of easy listening

Trust me, you cannot get Celine Dion out of your head. Don't mention that name.

Ah, too late.

Well, you got any plans tonight?

Nah, no plans.

Come watch my mates play.

Dead Table.

There you go.

He plays all their songs.

It's not hard. It's just the usual.

Three chord ho -hum. Come on, you love that band.

You know those guys?

Mm -hmm. They're seriously on the ride.

I'm taking Emma.

She wanted to be a date, but I thought the group situation would be better, you

know? Make her comfortable.

You are deluded, but I'm in. He's even a bark. He's got more industry contacts

than I do.

Will you back up? You've got party plans before tea break.

Well, at least I haven't sold out.

You're really living the dream. Dig.

112 Needham Street. There's a trench right in the middle of the lawn.

We'll finish up yesterday's job. You've got three hours.

And I need one to bury myself.

You are so going out tonight.

Morning, Mr Taylor.

Oh, you little rascal.

Yeah, she can be a bit naughty sometimes.

I might finish early tonight.

Come straight home.

Oh.

Okay.

Goodbye, beautiful.

Hey, steady there, mate.

Mr Taylor.

You all right?

Yeah.

He just, he gets confused and no one was hurt, were they?

No, I'm fine, and the dog's fine. We're just worried about Mr. Taylor.

Yeah, next time it might not be us.

Might be some girl who doesn't know him. Well, you did the right thing, didn't

you?

Speak of the devil.

Excuse us.

Sorry, Mr. Taylor.

What's the old loon done now?

Don't coddle me!

A real man holds his ground.

But what if the ground keeps shifting under his feet?

We just need a plan.

Yeah, the nursing home.

No, Dad.

It's only going to get worse.

We'll deal with it.

It's going to get easier for me and bloody awful for you.

We should discuss our options.

I'm looking after Dad. End of story. You've already got Ruby. You don't want

have to handle another helpless child.

No offence, Rubes. Dad, I'm here all day.

I'll just keep one eye on you. We'll make a few adjustments.

There'll come a time where I need watching constantly.

That's now, Ted.

Make us another cuppa.

Are you

sure

you can manage?

Yes. Ruby needs you too. Yeah, I can do both.

What about your writing? You can't give it up. You don't have the stuff. Do you

want Dad to live in an institution?

Of course. Then it's settled.

You take care of the business and I'll take care of Dad.

God, I feel... Horrible. Maybe we shouldn't have said anything.

I'm not knowing is much worse. For who?

To his best babe, every time.

That's not how it goes. Sorry, I thought you guys would be out. I'll come back.

No, no, no. You get back here with that cute babe.

He should be sleeping, right?

He does not sleep.

Party boy.

Where's my phone?

My books say it's separation anxiety and that it'll pass, but Edward can't read.

Hey. Hey.

Hey,

no, no, no. What did you do? Nothing. Just look. Just look away.

Sorry. My boss is just hanging in there with the whole family -friendly

workplace bit.

What do you do?

Mum says she wants to help, but she's got enough to worry about.

Yeah.

Oh.

My baby. My job. I chose this.

Oh. Oh, no.

Hello. Oh, come on. I'm wearing pastels.

That was in my pocket. You should maybe make a break for it while you can. Yeah,

sorry. Bye.

Oh, come on, buddy.

It's all my fault. I made him cry.

What? Carbo, he took one look at me and bam, floodgates were open.

Nah, he probably just crapped himself.

No, it's me. I don't have the mother ding.

I should never be a parent. Hey, look at Juno. She loves you.

Is this what we have to look forward to?

Sorry? Being stressed, like Nathan, juggling babies and work.

Hey, look, don't worry. Our baby will be the happiest kid ever. How can I not be

with funsters like us around?

True.

Look, won't cry ever.

Honey, babies cry.

Nah, ours will lie in a basket all day looking up at flowers, making googly

noises. Wait, we're going to keep the baby in the shop?

Sure, otherwise how do we run a business?

We'll take photos of our baby in flower pots.

Make a squillion.

Where's Matt?

Where's the trench?

We can't do anything until he's finished and he hasn't even started.

Sweet. Lunchtime.

Better check on Emma.

Waterboarding. It's not torture, it's persistence.

I plan to wear her down.

Yeah, like the glaciers in New Zealand.

Oh.

Rafter's electrical.

Oh, yeah, g'day. Glad you called back.

Yeah, living balcony.

I'll text you the number.

Righto. Oh, ask for Emma and tell her Buzz sent you.

Alright, there.

Who was that?

The client for Emma.

I recommended her.

I take it back. She doesn't stand a chance. I know.

This is more than just a thrill of a chase for you, isn't it?

What? I've never actually seen you like this before.

Are you flushing? You are!

Oh, my God, you really, really like her. She's just... I've never met anybody

like her.

Oh, good afternoon and welcome.

Dave did say 1 -2 -2 Needham. No, 1 -1 -2.

Does anyone have a pen?

I need to write a quick note.

That is fantastic.

Yes, an ongoing commitment like that would really, really help.

No, it's not just monetary.

All contributions are really appreciated.

Yes, we do regular fundraisers. It could be part of a blind auction.

He likes quits in

time.

Emma did too.

Thank you.

That's very generous of you.

So basically, I try to get the very rich to give to the very poor.

Like Robin Hood?

Uh, yeah, yeah, except I can't steal. They have to want to give it, which can

a problem.

Still, I'm impressed.

And a little envious.

Why? Because you go to sleep at night knowing that you help people.

Oh, yes.

Sleep. I'd kind of forgotten about that. Thank you, Edward.

This phase will pass.

Bye tonight, because...

I'm kind of exhausted.

Next to be up all night worried what your teenager is doing and with whom.

I reckon Mum still lies awake, worried they're going to drop the baby or

something. Oh, look, everyone drops their baby.

What?

Once, when Emma was a toddler, I pushed her out of a tree.

Oh. She was climbing ridiculously high.

And another time I left her on the 311 bus.

Well, that's an easy mistake to make. I know.

She was such a quiet little thing, and I had all that shopping.

Oh, I was a terrible mother.

Well, not terrible, just unsuited.

Hey, you raised a fantastic person.

I did, didn't I? Yeah.

Oh, there are no rules.

None of us have a clue.

No, because everything I'm doing is being watched by the mother of the year.

You mean Julie?

Yeah.

Well, she is an exception.

She is perfect.

Oh, shh.

Sugar.

Mummy said sugar.

What's up?

Oh, Ruby, I'll only eat egg this week, and that was dinner.

Oh, well, I'll just walk down the shop and pick us up a carton.

Oh, you know what? Why don't we all go?

Yeah. Yeah, that's probably wise.

Yeah. Why don't we go find you a jumper, darling? Come on.

Go for a walk to the shops, yeah?

Just a

moment.

Oh, Daddy, are you sure?

Afternoon, Mr Taylor.

I just want to say I'm sorry.

Oh, it's nothing. I already forgot. No, no, no, please. I need to apologise.

The truth is, I'm not well.

The mind keeps playing silly tricks on me.

We understand.

We've known each other for a long time.

I need you to look out for me.

We will.

Dad, we should go if we want to make the shop front close.

See you. Bye,

Cabo. Bye, love.

Has anyone seen Edward's jumpsuit?

Oh.

Is this it?

I'll soak it.

Never juggle babies with bowls of spaghetti.

Living balcony's got a new client. Ooh, a good client.

It's a tiny courtyard, but he used the phrase money noob. Ah, the three little

words. See, your flies are working.

Oh, it was word of mouth.

Oh, whose mouth?

By the recommender. Could that guy get any better?

I'll thank him at the gig tonight.

Are you coming, Nathan?

No, I've got daddy duties.

Don't your parents have over tonight?

Yeah, so I can get some work done and hopefully catch up on some sleep before

he's two o 'clock feed.

2 a .m.? Most nights it's 11, 2 and 5.

The first six months are the toughest.

So then you deserve a night out now and then.

Forget it, Rita.

He's not going out for the next 18 years. Isn't that right, Nathan?

Ha ha, that's very funny, Carbo. You young people just enjoy yourselves, OK?

Toodle -oo.

Thanks, Mum.

Don't work too hard, mate. Bye. Come later if you can. You need some time for

you.

Hey,

you're looking hot.

Thank you, but I'm not really worried about my appearance right now. Why would

you be?

It's just launching a business and having a baby at the same time. I know.

exciting is our life?

Nathan's life isn't exciting. He's living a nightmare. Yeah, but there's

us. Yeah, and he has family right there.

Yeah, but we share Julie. You know, she's everybody's mum. Yeah, and now we

she's tied up.

I just think we should go back on the pill.

Oh, come on, no way. Look, we're so happy.

Until we're better placed.

Yeah, but we know how long it's going to take to get pregnant.

So? So, we could be millionaires by then.

Or it could be next month.

Oh, look, come on, admit it.

It's fun trying, eh?

Yeah, it is, but... Come on, then don't stop a good thing.

Hmm? Let life unravel.

That's my motto.

Is it?

Why not?

It's good.

Okay. Okay.

Let's go out. We're going out. Yes.

Unravel.

Wow, it's really crowded.

Yeah, let's get into it.

So I can pluck out a venue like this? Oh, come on, sad sack, first round's on

me. Right.

So you didn't stand me up?

No, I had to thank you.

What's that?

I want to thank you.

You want to do what to me?

Sorry, I have to be this close or I can't hear you.

Unbelievable.

Thanks for the new client.

Hey, mate.

Hey.

Everyone?

Hendo.

You're Emma. No, mate, this is Emma.

Hi, Matt.

Yeah, I play guitar.

You got a dream?

Yeah, something strong.

We have to cancel.

Serious? Yeah, rhythm guitar, rhythm soda.

Again.

Lenny, yours?

Nah, the guitar's here. Missing is the knob who plays it.

Well, what if I told you I could find you a guitarist who knew all your songs?

I'd play heaven on stage in five.

Up for it?

Of course he is!

You're in there.

Let's do this.

Oh, my boy.

Mum.

No, no, you don't have to... No, I like doing it.

Okay.

It may be better off as best as that, darling.

No. Edward sleeps with me now.

I've been reading all this stuff about the attachment theory.

Oh, right.

Balinese villagers don't put down their kids till they're two.

Their arms must be sore.

Science backs it.

Yes, well, you all had your own rooms at a very early age and you're fine.

Wow, still awake.

People, please.

Nathan's going to carry Edward for two years. Oh, I didn't say that.

Why are you mocking me? I'm not. We have had some experience, you know. He's my

son. Yes, I know. I just don't want to see you going over the top.

She thinks you're working a bit harder. No, no. She thinks that I'm parenting

differently and her way's better. Okay. Well, don't let me interfere.

Please let her interfere.

Oh, Dad. She's got a lot on her plate at the moment.

Yeah, I know. She could do with a distraction, and you could do with a

Nice work, by the way.

He's perfect.

Thanks. Oh, he's got a little bit of cradle cap. Dad.

Try. I'm going.

I think you sing it better.

You must be really grateful now.

Pardon? Well, I got some free entry, a new job, I've cheered Matt up in a

constructive, legal way.

That's your friend too.

So you're saying I'm a nice bloke who cares about his mate?

All right, all right. I am grateful.

Grateful enough for a kid?

Sorry, I don't... Sounds like there's a story there.

We'll leave that at...

What will you get tomorrow?

How about I buy you a drink instead?

And a counter meal?

Dinner?

Deal.

So how was day one? I don't know if you knew you'd take care of Ted, Ruby.

It was fine.

Went to the shop, got some eggs.

Apparently smothered Nathan, but Ruby remained unscathed, so that's a plus.

Nathan's just trying to find his own way.

You know, he hasn't mentioned Saskia once since he's been back.

He hasn't even spoken to her.

He will when he's ready.

I'm amazed how well he's coping.

He's so strong.

Remember the first time you left me alone with Rachel?

That's right.

I had to go and pick up my wedding dress.

Yeah, it was only about 20 minutes until I panicked. You were in the shopping

centre and had them page me over the loudspeaker.

If there's a Julie Taylor in the centre, could she return home immediately

because her fiancé's an idiot who doesn't know how to stop his daughter

Thanks, darling.

What for?

Making me laugh.

Why aren't you in bed with Buzz?

Sorry? Well, he's perfect.

Is he? And it's bedtime.

It is bedtime. Let's go.

No, let's stay up all night.

Oh, no, honey. Look, we should get some sleep while we, you know. Yeah, but when

we, you know, we won't be able to go to gigs. Stay up all night.

No, but there will be other things keeping us awake.

Look, I'm going to sleep while I can. Okay.

Night, honey. Night.

Night. Night, Em. Night.

Carla and I are having a baby.

Congratulations. Oh, no. I mean, we're trying.

That's great, isn't it?

Okay.

I'm going to tell you something.

And you have to promise not to judge me.

Of course not.

Would it be so awful if I went back on the pill and didn't tell Carla?

Yes.

Okay, did you have to be so decisive?

I don't understand why you'd want to. Because we're really, really happy.

And the problem is... We've only been happy since we started trying again.

And you're worried if you take away the trying, you'll lose the happiness.

Plus,

I don't think it's really the right time for a baby.

Still, I know I read it. I mean, lying to your husband. Tiny lie, Incy. Still a

bad idea.

Yeah, you're right.

You're enjoying that, aren't you, Edward?

Just tell me if it's too much.

Oh, no, mate, I'm a granddad. Great granddad, heaven.

Look who I found out front pinching plans.

I was just admiring them. Hey, Arnold, would you like some breakfast?

No, thank you.

I just popped by to see how you're going, Ted.

Nathan, I need my knee, mate.

There you go.

Got him?

And, Ruby, you leave the old fella some toast, eh?

Care to join me in the backyard, Eleanor?

Yeah, we have some lovely fish ferns out there, you might like.

It's a bit chilly outside.

We'll be right, won't we, mate?

We will.

Won't be long.

You know, Eleanor, it's been unexpected, our time together.

That it has.

And a great joy.

Remember that weekend we went away, just the two of us? Of course I do.

And you had snowflakes in your hair and on your eyelashes.

Your cheeks were so red.

You were so beautiful.

You never told me that before.

Oh, some things you just don't forget.

Now, I don't know where this illness is taking me.

But I care too much to drag you along with me.

I'm a tough old bird.

No, Eleanor.

I won't have you hurt again.

It's not your decision, Ted.

I don't want you to visit me anymore.

Do you hear me?

I'm going to miss you.

I'm going to miss me too.

So, are you waiting for me to make the first move?

No, Pauline. I have a headache.

Oh, that's bad.

I've heard about those in marriages.

Not that kind of headache.

Do you think it's morning sickness?

I think it's morning after a sleepless night sickness.

Oh, okay. You sit there.

I'll get breakfast.

Oh, thank you. You're amazing. Mm -hmm.

Look, don't get used to it.

There'll be no sleeping when the baby comes.

Never made my own plans It's time to make my own bed It's time to leave

All

through my younger years You were the one to help me face

my fears

Well, Ruby and I are going to go and brave the magpies at the park.

Fancy some sunshine, Dad?

No, thanks, love.

Will you be here?

Nowhere else to be.

See you soon.

See you.

Fancy some company, Ted?

I'm right, mate.

Manning up is about facing the truth.

And dealing with it.
