All language subtitles for Packed To The Rafters s06e08 Damage Control

There are two types of people.

The ones who enjoy fixing things and the
ones who'd rather chuck it out and buy

a new one.

Bit of a setback, eh? No, it's a bloody
shame.

She was coming along nicely.

Still worth saving the... Are you
serious?

Split windscreens are rare, mate. It's
going to cost you a fortune.

It's not about the money.

Can't let a few local thugs stop us.

You all cool?

Want to start now?

I'd love to, but I've got to get home.

Help with the housework.

How did Julie take it when you told her
about her little project?

Because that's what I want. Not help
around the house. Not someone to watch

Dad. I want you to fix up an old car.

She was fine.

Oi, Jack.

Want to give us a hand with the combi?

Oh, no, I've got some homework to do.

Is it first?

Yeah.

Me?

I reckon nothing's beyond repair.

Oh, Dad, I just changed her clothes.

Guess what we found, Jules? Tar pit?

A baby bird on the ground, and we put it
back up in the tree, didn't we, Rooms?

Oh, that's great.

Look, I'm going to take this to my room.

Keep us all here when dinner's ready,
eh?

Yeah, fine.

You're a mud monster.

Hello there.

Dad! What happened here?

How'd it happen?

You're home late.

Yeah, I had to swing by Buzz's place.

Oh, yes, your secret project.

Look, I'll take care of swamp thing
here. You sit.

You're right. I should have told you
about it. Yes, you should have. You're

Judy, until 11 a .m. tomorrow.

Well, what happens at 11?

You get back from your massage and I get
forgiven.

Long way to go yet. Start somewhere.

Cup of tea might get you closer.

Coming right up.

Even a tense home situation isn't beyond
repair.

It just takes work.

Lots of work.

You are a lot easier on the eye than
this mob, so...

I'm

really sorry that I didn't come last
weekend.

It's cool. It's no biggie. I just... I
didn't... I didn't get your message in

time.

Well, you're here now, so... Yeah.

Yeah, and next time, don't rely on Matt,
OK?

Yeah. Hopeless.

More like a sieve.

He's really good to see you.

Yeah, you too.

And, uh, hey.

How'd it go?

Hey, night of peep.

You, sir, are a lifesaver.

What are you doing?

Online aptitude test. You're going to
bet my career change.

Ah, floristry really isn't doing it for
you anymore, is it? Mate, it's time to

get serious, you know?

Leave the flower pots to the girls,
strike out on my own.

Well, if you say so.

I mean, when you look at me, you don't
see a florist.

I don't? No. I just want to find
something I love and do it for the rest

life. You know, look after my family,
not you.

Right. Yeah, I wouldn't say I'm loving
my job at the moment, but I am getting

better at it. Yeah, I know.

You're a perfectionist, like me.

Now, hang on a sec.

Jeez, this test takes forever.

I'm just going to answer the last few.

A, C, D, C.

It's done.

Very thorough.

Okay. Look, processing results.

Get ready for my future career.

Petition.

Oh, I had to beg you to use your loo
that first time, remember?

Now you've got a housemate.

Oh, it is a challenge. And every day I
make him say it. Boundaries are my

friend. I think it's great.

For both of you.

Yeah, it is actually nice to have some
company.

You tell Matt that and I will kill you.

So you haven't met Hank yet?

Hank. No.

No, I don't think so.

Parliament's here in the corner of the
shower.

Yes! No!

What are you saying?

Me and Jake thought he was trying to
grow another house, mate, so we can have

extra vote on what to watch on telly.

Where's your Bible, preacher man?

Hey, mate.

I'll catch you later.

Make sure you keep spreading that good
word, eh?

Hallelujah.

Bible.

Who is that guy?

The guy.

It's fine.

So, did you get that new tat yet?

No, no, no. You and me, I'll be umming
and ahhing until I'm at least 80.

I don't spend any time to think in here.
You should see if they've got a spare

room.

I don't know how you do it.

No choice.

Lock the doors.

You been using those pencils that I gave
you?

Every chance I get.

Without being labelled the arty type.

Because that would be bad.

No.

Just harder.

If there's any consolation, you seem
good.

Like I said, lots of time to think.

About what?

What I did.

What I shouldn't have done.

What I want to do.

I, uh, I guess I should go.

I'll come back, though.

Sooner rather than later, eh? Yeah,
yeah, if that's what you want.

Yeah, I do.

So what's the deal here? If I hug you,
will they, like, taser me?

No.

They'll go for me.

Thank you for coming.

I appreciate it.

I'll see you soon.

Oh, fine.

Hey, it's okay. You know what? I might
just make a few of those calls from

Darling, you need peace and quiet to
work, which is in short supply in this

house. It's fine. I can help you out
more if I'm here.

Thanks, mate. No, it's a lovely offer,
but you've got enough on your plate.

And on my pants. I might just get
changed.

Jules, why don't you let him help? He's
busy.

We all are.

Well, at least he's not frittering his
tum away on some undriveable car.

The whole idea is to make it driveable,
and I was hardly...

Forget it.

Ruby and I found a baby bird today.

Did he call? Hi, honey.

Hi, babe. Who called?

Buzz. What would he call you, man? I
don't know.

Maybe kissing him like that and walking
away was a bad idea. He's kind of

sending mixed messages.

Oh, but it seems so romantic at the
time.

I've blown it, haven't I?

Or maybe he's using the three -day rule
on you.

The what? Yeah, you know, how long has
it been since you've kissed?

Oh, nearly three days. There you go.

You could do this thing where a bloke
waits three days before calling the

You know, he builds tension, gets her
all hot and bothered and eager.

So I've heard.

Well, if that's what he's doing, it's
working.

No, and we are not letting him get away
with it.

That's it.

We're just adding a four -day rule.

Really? But what if the three -day thing
is just a coincidence? Yeah, and what

if it isn't?

What if he's toying with you? Why would
he do that? He was lovely to me at your

party. You know what? If he is toying
with you, you can't let him get away

it. You've got to toy with him right
back.

So, anyway, how was work?

Quiet. Speaking of work, have you done
that aptitude test yet?

No, no, I've been a bit busy.

No, no, go and look at that.

Nail technician.

What about, like, some kind of
carpenter?

Yeah, something like that.

Anyway, just... No, no, no, no, no.

What up?

Window dresser. That'll be fun.

Not interested.

That?

Oh, a lot of training.

Nurse. Says that nurse. Oh, stop.

They're chicks' jobs.

Oh, hello. No, no, I don't want to do a
chick's job.

I want to respect myself.

I want you to respect me. Honey, I do
respect you.

I want to support you.

My way.

So how was it?

Seeing the ex in the big house on a
scale of awkward to very awkward?

It was nothing like that.

It was nice. It was really nice.

He seemed different. I mean, you know,
still Kobe, but he was calmer or

something. Hey, Shuggles, what happened
to you? Another stellar day?

An Ethan Subbers princess with a handbag
dog happened.

Oh, no.

Yeah, the little mutt got loose and
pissed the leg on the back seat.

Yeah. Well, and then it took a bit of a
shine to my leg, if you get my drift.

I've got to go wash my pants.

Oh, by the way, how was it seeing Kobe?

It's fine.

Fine? Yeah.

He's a good mate.

Hey, um, you don't think that he might
have found God in there, do you? What,

the guy whose party trick it was to burp
the Lord's Prayer?

I doubt it.

Why?

It's just something that someone said.

Nothing. Forget it.

So, he's a good mate.

Nice try.

But back to you.

How's things going with Emma? Has she
realised you're a lowlife yet? No, she

not. And I'll thank you not to tell her.
Have you taken her on the patented Buzz

picnic? No.

I'm taking it slow with this one.

Why? Didn't she come over and plant a
kiss on you?

Yeah. So it's game on, isn't it?

Tell me you've at least called her.

Buzz! Frankie! No!

Emma has made her move. Trust yourself.

Make one back.

Thai rice.

Blah, boring.

Leftover Indian.

Again. Another night of Indian and I'll
turn into a papadum.

Thai rice it is.

Guess who?

72 hours on the dot. What did he say?

Join me.

Oh.

Okay, you have to go. Like now.

What? What happened to the four -day
rule? Oh, forget the four -day rule.

is a romantic dinner for two. It trumps
everything. Plus, you can bring me

leftovers. No, you're right.

If he wants to go back to playing games,
I can play them too.

Ah!

Relaxed? Felt like I could melt through
the floor.

Well, you never said about my
moustaches. She must have had magic

sure did.

He? Hmm.

Well, he might know how to work your
shoulders, but could he get this kitchen

floor to a high gloss?

Oh, so clean you could eat off it. Don't
worry, Ruby's already tried.

I'm impressed.

Floors vacuumed and mopped, toilets
scrubbed, and you can now officially see

bottom of our clothes basket.

Whoa, maybe the first time since the
90s. Did I do good?

Yes, you did good.

Forgiven for not telling you about the
combi thing? Yeah, maybe.

Okay, you two, have fun.

And, oh, please, don't get paid in old
cars this time.

Come on, Jules, you know I accept magic
beans.

Now, what sort of an animal is that?

A dinosaur.

Come on.

Giraffe. Yeah, hello, Julie Rafter.

Oh, Donna, hi.

Actually, could you... Hang on a sec,
hang on.

Dad, I'm just going to hang out the
washing.

Mm -hm.

Sorry.

No, he's actually already done the
vacuuming.

I know, I was shocked too.

Do you know that we have giraffes right
here in Sydney?

Did you know that?

Did you?

Yeah, well, it has been a bit tense,
actually, but we're getting there.

Oh, he's been lovely.

Yeah.

Come on.

Let's go.

Let's go. If you come within 100 feet of
this house with a dust buster, I'm

going to barricade the door.

You're up in the car.

Come on. We tell ourselves everything
can be fixed.

But how do you fix something that's
beyond your control?

Here he is. How'd you go?

Oh, just a fried transformer.

Too easy.

No, no, no, not the job. Your dinner.
Did you reel her in? I thought she

take the bait.

I love a good fishing metaphor, but I
might just take this.

Hey, Jules, what's up?

Dad's taking Ruby somewhere.

Hang on a second. Have you checked the
park? Yes, he's not there.

Carbo's checking the other parks now.

Dave, he's taking the car.

Mobile? No, he's left it at home.

Mum.

Hang on, hang on. Carbo's back.

What's happening?

No, he hasn't found them.

Okay, call the police. Yeah, all right.
I'll be 15.

Okay, hurry.

Guys, I've got to go. Let's finish up
without me.

Yeah, sure.

Everything okay?

What else did the police say?

Just sit tight.

They'll call if they hear anything.

Eleanor's not at home.

I left a message in case he shows up
there.

I can't believe this.

If I just kept an eye on them... Mum,
you can't say that, okay? None of this

your fault.

Dragged her, that was on the phone. But
how could you know?

He's never done anything like this
before.

Jules, Ted don't son really.

The last thing he'd ever do is let
something happen to her.

I just want to know where they are.

Oh, look.

Oh, look there, look.

Here's the jar.

Come on.

I'll give you a boost.

Wow.

Yes.

Oh, you're getting to be a big girl,
Julie.

And your dad's not as strong as he was.

Thanks anyway.

Bye. They're not at the boat club. Who's
that?

Checking the hospitals.

Nothing. No news is good news.

How can anything about this be good?
What do you mean, sir? Dave?

We don't know that.

Could be Carbo.

I don't know the number.

Hello?

Jerry, hi.

Our meeting. Oh, no, mate. There's been
so much going on. I forgot.

They'd call if they heard anything.
Well, I had to do something, Dave. We're

doing everything we can. No, I am.

What does that mean?

Nothing.

They'll be okay.

There we go.

You're going to hear your nice granddad.

Well, she's my daughter, actually.

Oh, so reasons.

Come on, look, we, uh... We'd better
make tracks.

Come on.

I don't believe Old Man Rafter left us a
pack up.

Old Man Rafter?

Yeah. Let's see if we can get it to
catch on.

Yeah, I don't know about that. He seemed
a bit stressed today.

What do you reckon's going on?

I don't know.

Had all the answers yesterday.

Tell me how you feel. Simple.

Well, it should be. Well, next time let
me know about the part where she doesn't

show and I feel like a complete loser.

Don't blame me.

You've talked for three days.

No, no more advice.

I don't want to hear it.

Are you giving up?

Have you called her?

Maybe she didn't get your text.

Maybe her mum broke her leg.

Maybe she didn't. She's lying on the
floor and she's calling out your name

the phone's just out of reach.

Hey. You ready to pack up, yeah? Where
are you going?

Down on a jinx it.

Oh, I've blown it.

No, you haven't. We've got him exactly
where we want him. And where is that

exactly? Desperate town population,
but... Oh, he doesn't seem desperate.

only desperate one is me.

That's it. I'm texting him. No.

Why not?

Because... Who's ever heard of the three
-and -a -half -day rule? I never even

heard of the three -day rule until you
and Carbo put it in my head. Oh, hang

He's here. Who?

Buzz. Buzz.

OK, shut up. Shut up and play it cool.
Play it cool. Be cool.

Uh... Emma?

Huh? Oh!

Buzz, hi.

Uh... Look, um... I've been an idiot.

I waited too long to call you.

Yeah.

The old three -day rule.

The what day rule?

You know, make me wait some more,
Keegan.

I mean, that was eager and keen to kill
her.

Well, look... I, um... Retta. Yes.

Can you... Oh.

Oh, yes, that thing. I just, um... I
could do it.

Anyway, to cut all the crap, I... I
choked.

I couldn't call you. I couldn't come
around. I... Because the thing is, I...

really like you.

And... I didn't want to blow it.

Oh.

My palms are sweaty.

Oh, bloody hell. I'm sorry. Look, can we
just start again?

Nothing broken.

Don't worry. Not that you were. You were
busy.

Ignore me.

You are. Just them.

Why wouldn't you as you were?

Oh, I'm tired.

Here we go, Jules.

Home again.

Just wait there.

Must have brought the wrong tea.

Silly dapper, aren't I?

Louise!

Come on, Julie.

This is the top secret entrance I'm
about to show you. Come on, you just sit

there.

There you go. There you go.

Now, this window has always been

a bit dicky.

What do you want?

Who are you?

I'm calling the police.

The police?

I mean it.

Please go away.

Julie, let's go next door to the
McCormack's, love.

Police?

Is the owner okay?

Oh, she's fine. We told her about your
father's condition and she understood.

Thank you so much for bringing them home
safe.

No problem.

I'll leave you guys to it. I'll show you
out.

Thanks. Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I know we went to the zoo and... The
keys, they didn't

work.

And we had gone to the shops.

Yeah, Dad.

Yeah.

People next door, they weren't home.

In case they didn't work.

Shh. It's okay, Dad.

It didn't.

Dad's asleep.

So is Ruby. I just checked.

We need to face facts. Oh, Dave. We
can't handle Ted on our own anymore. If

just kept a closer eye on him... Mum.

No.

You're only in the backyard.

You can't have him by your side every
second of the day. Well, I can lock the

door, hide a key. We do that now, but
he's still got out.

A nursing home is our only option.

I think Dad's right.

I remember it was Ted who raised the
idea in the first place.

Yeah, I remember.

And I remember telling him that we would
look after him here.

Well, things have changed.

No. Well, we need to do something.

This is affecting all of us now, all of
us. You have to see that.

Anything could have happened.

Ted, God forbid to Ruby, it's a miracle
that it didn't.

We can't go on like this. We have our
own lives.

I know it's tough, but we have to start
thinking about that.

Think about it.

For all of our faith.

Sorry, I can't.

So which is it? Monster hangover or
nightmare day?

Time for cheese. It's a dead giveaway.

I know.

So you're hungover?

I wish.

Today's lesson was, if you're going to
abuse a bikey, don't do it when you're

approaching a red light.

At least you're back on site tomorrow.
Change is as good as a holiday and all

that blah. Yeah, well, if your holiday
involves digging trenches.

Right. That's it.

What are you doing? I am ringing around
and organising a night out. I'm going to

cheer you up if it kills me. Wait, wait,
wait. Just wait.

I want to stay home.

Fair enough.

You are sharing that cheese.

Actually, this is great.

I reckon this is exactly what I need, a
night in the home.

Yeah, just you and me together.

I know what you're doing.

Really? Yeah.

And you're okay with that?

I can't say you're not proud of me.

Oh.

I never realised you felt that way about
me.

What way?

Wait, what are you talking about?

I was just going to say that I'm still
not ready for a permanent housemate.

what are you talking about?

Yeah, exactly what you said.

You want to be a permanent housemate,
but if it's no go, I'm cool with that.

Are you sure that's what you were...

You meant, I mean, you weren't... Oh,
God.

No. I couldn't think of anything worse,
right?

I might just go to bed. Yeah, I'd better
focus on my cheese.

Night.

Night.

So, um, I did have something a bit more
special for dessert.

But then I had it for lunch.

Well, it's fine.

In fact, it's perfect.

Is that you, Jax?

He's such a dickhead. He just sits on
the couch and expects me to help out

It's his mum's boyfriend.

Yeah, that sucks, mate, but maybe you
should just ride it out for tonight,

I'm not going back there.

I'm so sorry about this.

It's really fine.

Mate, uh, do you remember Emmett, eh?

No. You remember.

Why ask?

Hi, Jackson. How was school today?

Mate, do you have some homework you
should be doing?

No.

So are you sleeping over tonight?

Oi. I'm just saying that I'm going to
take my bed and I'll sleep on the couch.

Well, that's really nice of you, mate,
but isn't there something you should be

doing?

In your room?

Are you sleeping in Dad's bed?

Because you know the walls are pretty
thin here. All right, that's it. I

be going anyway. No, don't go. Yeah,
don't go, Emma.

I've got an early start tomorrow.

You sure?

Yeah, it's fine.

Okay, well, I'll walk you out. I'll see
you later, Jackson.

Later.

I'll pick her up as well.

Yeah, that'd be great.

I'll do the shopping later and take Dad
with me. Okay.

He's in the shower. I didn't say
anything.

See the server.

Dave!

Hey, Dave.

Hey, mate.

I wanted to ask you something.

What is it urgent?

Well, it's about cricket.

Look, I'm a little bit under the pump at
the moment. Can we talk about it later?

Yeah. Whatever.

Okay. You're just gonna take off in your
dumb van anyway.

What are you talking about?

I don't even know why you're bothering
to fix it.

How do you know it's not gonna get
wrecked again?

Dude, why didn't you wait for me? We
could have travelled in together.

No, I just wanted to get an early start.

Yeah, right, because that is so you.

OK.

Honest answer?

Yeah, I'm all ears.

I wanted to get away early so I didn't
have to listen to you sing in the

Is that so?

Yeah. It's like Celine Dion being beaten
with a bag full of doorknobs.

And he's back, ladies and gentlemen!

Hey, about last night, um, don't worry
about it, it's all good. I mean, I know

you're going through a really crap time
at the moment.

Yeah, well, that's true.

I mean, you've been acting weird even
for you.

Uh, okay.

Anyway, it's, um, you know, totally
natural that you would probably reach

for someone as a distraction or, you
know, like a shoulder to cry on.

Shoulder, yeah, cry, yep, that's it.

We both know that.

Nothing could happen. Yeah, yeah, of
course.

Forget it ever happened?

What happened?

Good man.

Morning, all.

Morning. Hey, boss.

Jackson swung by my place this morning.

Oh, OK.

Must have been on his way to school.

He wasn't wearing his uniform.

Yeah, he just showed up at my house last
night.

To be honest, I haven't really had time
to keep an eye on him.

Well, you should make time.

Okay.

He said something about the combi.

I reckon it might have been him who
trashed it.

Why would he?

You're his dad, you tell me.

I've no idea.

You reckon he's capable of doing it?

No.

Well, maybe.

Look, if he did do it, I'm sorry.

What kind of a father are you?

Look I'll pay for any day. I told you to
pay for it.

I want you to start taking care of your
child Get him under control

Like

a

drink dad

Dad

You put your hand on top of mine. You're
talking fast but talking blind.

And I can't bring myself to meet your
eyes.

Because death is slowly covering you.

And galaxies are black and blue.

And under your skin are these colours
blue. Hi there, how are you?

Good, thank you. Have you had anything
to drink today?

No. Oh, actually, just a glass of wine.

Would you mind counting to ten for me,
please?

One, two, three, four, five.

That's enough, thanks.

You sure you just had the one?

Yes, of course.

Well, I mean, it was at home, so I'm not
sure if it was a standard measure.

You're under.

Have a nice day.

Amanda. You're okay to go.

Drive safe.

Everything's gonna be okay Everything's

gonna be okay

Did you go to school today?

Yep.

Then where's your uniform?

Why do you even care?

Because I'm your dad.

Why start now?

You want to tell me what happened to
you?

How should I know?

You did it, didn't you?

Mate, this is vandalism.

Your bloody lucky day wasn't called the
police.

Has this got something to do with Emma?

Who cares about her? So what, is it me
you're mad at?

Look, if it is, there's a million things
you could do.

Why wreck Dave's van?

Talk to me.

It has nothing to do with you. I
couldn't care less what you do. Then

you pissed off at Dave? I wasn't pissed
off at him!

So it is about Dave.

What did he ever do to you?

Well, he's not going anywhere now, is
he?

What do you mean?

What do you care if he leaves anyway?

You're so clueless.

G'day, g'day.

You okay?

coming home from the shops and I got
breath tested.

Okay.

I wasn't over, but I'd had a drink
during the day.

I'd never do that.

You were right.

When you're taking back control of a
damaged family, there are no quick

But you have to start somewhere.

Smells great.

Okay, wine, anybody? Mum, Dad, Grandad?
No, not for me, thanks.

See yourself?

Yes, I can crack open a jar of puff, of
course, but the better.

Never the time that you crack a jar.

It was one shot of glass, Dad, and I
picked it out. I was 12.

Now, if you don't want to eat my
cooking... No, no, no, no, no, no.

Protect my plate at all costs.

Hey, Buzz, thanks for calling me back.

Look, I'm just calling all the parents
to let them know that cricket training's

off tomorrow and the club's going to
have to find a replacement coach.

Yeah, well, you know, family's got to
come first at the moment.

Can it wait till tomorrow?

OK, mate, see you then.

Cheers, bye.

Everything OK?

Yeah, no problem at all.

Ruby and I found a baby bird on the
ground.

Really? Yeah.

We put it back up in the tree, didn't
we, Ruby?

It was very good of you.

G'day, boss.

Traffic? Yeah.

All right, now that you're both here,
there's something I've got to tell you.

I'd like to be on hand to help out
around the house a bit more, so from now

I'm going to run the jobs from the shed.

Yep, and we'll be on site.

That's right.

Keep your mobile phones on.

Okay, cool. No problem with me?

Yeah, me either.

Good.

Hey, Dave.

Listen, about yesterday, I spoke to
Jackson.

You all right?

He did it.

Okay.

It's complicated, but part of the reason
is he...

Thought you were leaving and he wanted
to stop you.

Apparently you said something about
hitting the road.

Anyway, it's my fault, really. If I was
a better dad, he wouldn't need your...

advice.

He's got plenty of mates. Only one dad.

He can't be locked all the time.

Sometimes you've got to make the tough
decisions, you know?

Tough love, eh?

Yeah, something like that.

Oh, listen, about the combi... I don't
have time for that anymore.

Okay. Sir, if you don't mind having it
for a couple more days, I've got a tow

truck along to pick it up. Well, let's
stay there as long as you want.

Until you're ready to get back into it.
I won't be.

Well, if you're sure.

I am.

I'd better get on with this, eh?

Emma! Hey!

Where are you going? One sec.

Hi.

Hey.

I'm sorry about dinner the other night.

Oh, forget it. First date's meant to be
awkward.

Well, it was certainly that.

You saw Jackson in all his surly glory.
Oh, indeed.

So, uh... So?

Could be in for a bumpy ride.

Are you trying to get rid of me? No.

We've got to go.

Because I'm a big girl and I'll put on a
seatbelt.

Romeo, let's roll.

Hold that thought. I'm holding.

I'm

holding.

I can still see the wreck on the shore
She was a fine

ship, yes indeed I can still see the

old man Diving on down to find the key

Be what you be Know that

you're

Be what you be in all that you are.

Be what you be in all that you

are.

In all that you are.

Like I said, almost everything can be
fixed.

All it takes is hard work.

Plus a bit of time.

And sometimes a bit of bravery.

Of

course,

it's always easier when you work
together.

Especially when the solution is as tough
as the problem.

Be what you be and I'll let you out.

Be what you be and I'll let you out.
