All language subtitles for Packed To The Rafters s06e06 Manning Up

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.
