All language subtitles for Packed To The Rafters s06e11 Centre of the Universe

No matter where you've been, there's
nothing like the feeling of coming home.

That was the pick of the bunch so far.
Even had room for a pool.

Did we see the same place?

The backyard was tiny.

Okay, a jacuzzi then. You'd be lucky to
afford a wading pool. That area's really

expensive. Thank you, Mr Negative. It's
me.

After all, your home is the centre of
your universe.

And a universe isn't easily replaced.

Plus there was plenty of room for you
and Edward.

You don't have to worry about space for
us. We'll be fine.

Oh, it's not a problem, darling. We like
having you around.

It's within our price range.

The asset's 700 plus.

We can do a little bit of plus.

There's only a lot of plus in real
estate, Mum.

Maybe we could call the agent and see
what they'll accept.

Hmm.

All right, I'll do it.

Tell them I'm negotiable by the jacuzzi.

It's a shame we haven't moved in
somewhere already, so we'd be settled

arrives. Well, that would defeat the
purpose, really, considering he's coming

home to help us move house. Yeah, well,
see, that doesn't seem right.

Welcome home, darling. Here's the box.
Get to it.

You're right. It is 700 plus.

See? Plus 400.

1 ,100?

Oh, 1 .1 million? Okay, thanks very
much, mate. Bye.

You guys have got to get real.

Okay, unless you buy something like
today, you're going to run out of time.

should probably start looking at
rentals. Oh, no, then we'll have to move

No, you know what? We will find
something.

I mean, new places come online all the
time. And as long as my boys are with

it'll be a home.

How am I going to break it to them?

Especially Mum.

I know.

Hey, you and Edward can come and live
with us!

Keep your voice down and no way.

Maybe Benno coming back will be a good
distraction for you folks.

Ben's coming back?

Any minute, mate. Probably getting strip
-searched by customs as we speak.

I told you about Ben, didn't I?

I must have forgotten.

Hey, you folks must be pumped. Oh, yes.

Hey, spaghetti folks, I'm pumped, man.
I'm getting my better half back.

Well, like, I'll leave you guys to it.
Thanks for looking after the little man.

Yeah, I'd better go too.

Hey, we still on for tomorrow?

You betcha. I saw your place all greased
up, ready to go.

I'm going to assume they're talking
about the combi. Yeah, I really hope so.

Okay. There's fresh sheets on the bed,
plenty of juice in the fridge.

I'm going to have to visit Dad later
than usual.

Sure he won't mind.

I'm not coping. I don't want to make
things worse by breaking the routine.

Jules, you visit him every day. Whether
you're on time won't matter.

Yeah, I get it.

Ben! He's not due home yet, is he? Well,
maybe he's surprising us. A pretty crap

surprise. He could have at least jumped
out of a cake or something. Oh, my God!

Hello! Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing here? Oh, you know,
just in the neighbourhood.

Thought I'd swing by, make sure no one
was selling their house without telling

them. Great to see you. Why didn't you
call?

You know, howdy.

What, did you break out of jail?

Mum. Joking.

So did you? Dad. No.

Turns out good behaviour does pay.

What, have you got somewhere to stay?

You're welcome to stay here.

Ben's about to come home. All good.

Booked into a hotel.

Oh.

So is someone going to explain the sold
house thing to me? Oh, well, it's time,

I guess.

Oh, yeah, speaking of which, I'd better
go and pick up the boy. You'll be here

when we get back? Yep. Are you down,
size?

Oh, not if we can help it. I've got to
have room for Nathan and Edward.

Ah, yes.

Is there someone you want to introduce
me to, mate?

I still can't believe you made that.

I know.

It's weird, right?

He looks like you.

You reckon?

You look like a baby.

With hair. Very funny.

So you and Saskia, you... You broke up,
right?

Sort of.

Yeah.

But you all right, though?

Oh, you know me. I'm Barry Bounceback.

Barry what? I'm Barry... It doesn't
matter.

Wow.

You were the kid.

It's so strange having your whole life
revolve around someone who six months

didn't exist.

I think it's really cool.

Thanks.

I'd better get going before I start
getting clucky. You should hang around

catch up with Ben before you go. No, no,
that's your family stuff.

What do you think you are, Cobes?

All right, as soon as they start talking
holiday naps, I'm out of here.

That was in Croatia.

And, oh, that castle was amazing.

Oh, look at the snow.

Incredible.

You guys can see those ones later.

Hello, baby.

Oh, I've missed you so much. Look how
big you are.

Don't tell me you've started dating,
because if you have, I'm going to have

bash some serious dudes.

Or you can just give me a call. I know
plenty of guys that can do that on the

cheek.

Oh, shut up.

Oh,

it's lovely to have you both home.

Not that it'll be home for much longer.

We know it's happening fast.

So, um, which one are you buying? I'm
not sure yet.

Aren't you leaving it a bit late? Wasn't
settlement just... No, it's all under

control. Anyway, what are your plans for
today?

Melatonin, ginger tea, and then I'm
going to go and see Grandad.

What?

Oh, he's having trouble settling in.

New faces tend to throw him.

Well, I'm hardly a new face.

No, of course not.

It's just... Well, Nathan's been
saying...

It took him a while to get used to me,
too.

Everything's a bit different now.

Anyway, you'll see him.

Maybe not today.

You guys know what's best.

So, how's everybody else around here?

How's Emma?

What are you doing?

What? Just sitting there like that.

Are you having some alone time with your
inner child?

I think Ben's home.

Really? Yeah.

Dave's car left before.

And he was gone about the time it would
take to do an airport run.

What if I take one look at him and...
nothing's changed?

Well, you saw him the last time he was
back.

Yes.

And I realised I was still in love with
him.

Ignore me. I'm just worrying about
nothing.

Was she in love with Ben?

Mate, I don't know. Why don't you ask
Emma? She'll think I'm jealous.

Aren't you?

No, just curious.

Where is my other sock?

So, come on, level with me. Was it love
or not?

Oh, it was definitely love. Matt!

What? Don't call me honest, Matt, for
nothing.

Too bad, Jess.

Stand up.

So was it love like, you know, I can't
live without you, or love like... I love

macaroni and cheese. So what if she was
in love with him? It's over now. Oh,

come on. You know how these things work.

Ben's the guy who got away. Chicks love
that guy. Oh, they pine for that guy.

Exactly. They pine.

You're not helping. Look, what if she's
just killing time with me until the real

deal comes back? Yeah, probably.

You know, the world traveler with all
these amazing stories. And an accent.

Oh, if he's got an accent, I'm screwed.
He's probably got one of those really

cool mustaches now.

You're stressing about nothing.

Seriously, Emma's into you.

Are you kidding me?

Guess who's home?

Oh, look at you, you dark Shetland.
What, did you finally dig a tunnel and

split, did you? You got it. This is a
surprise.

I like surprises.

I told Kirby he's good to come back to
work. You guys all right with that?

of course we are. Well, it's just going
to be awkward if I say no.

And no more picking on the apprentice,
either.

Hey, I got me ticket. Fully fledged
Sparky.

Get out! What, is that hard to believe?

Well, this calls for a celebration.

I'm thinking the cross for abstinence
shots followed by a two -day splitting

headache. Nah, mate, I'll just settle
for a barbie. What? You serious?

Dead serious.

Just BYO chicken wings.

What, is that prison speak for
something?

I've got to go. See you guys Monday.

Yeah, I've got to head off too. We'll
talk later. Yep, good.

I can't believe you're here.

Is that why you're looking at me so
weird?

No, it's just a spin -up.

So do you want to get a coffee or have a
catchy -up sort of thing?

A catchy -uppy sort of thing sounds
good, but I've got some stuff to sort

the hostel.

Yeah, OK.

But we'll have a catchy -uppy sort of
thing on Monday, yeah? Sure.

Is it shepherd's pie?

I don't know what you're having tonight,
Dad.

I really like shepherd's pie.

Yeah, well, we really do need to get
going.

No, don't go.

Ted, Julie will be back tomorrow.

We could play battleship. That sounds
fun.

Where are you going?

We need to head home, Ted.

I want to go home too.

This is your home, Dad.

No, it's not. I want to go with you.

Ted, you like it here. I want to go
home. Dad, please.

Okay, Ted, you can come with us.

We're having a dinner for Ben.

Catch up with everyone.

Might even have shepherd's pie.

How does that sound?

That sounds good.

All right.

Pop your shoes on. All right.

You sure about this?

That's what he wants.

Good for the kids to see him, too.

Yay!

Mate, you're exactly the same.

Oh, I'd better get a refund on my cheap
Thai facial.

There are rumours going around that you
might have a mustache.

Bet Emma started that. She was always
happy to grow a bush ranger's beard.

Half expected I'd catch up with her,
actually, today. Is she round?

Oh, well, your old mate Carbo's not good
enough for you now, mate. No, she's at

buzzers. But give her a call. I'm sure
she'll come back.

So on a scale of one to ten, How serious
is their relationship?

You sure you're okay?

You seem a bit quiet.

I'm thinking I should catch up with Ben
now that he's back.

Oh, yeah?

I mean, the guy's going to be next door.

I can't ignore him.

That'd be stupid.

A quiet drink is probably the way to go.

Yeah, for sure.

So, uh, you going to catch up with him
today, or...?

Oh, just, you know, whenever.

Have you met Buzz?

No. Well, before you go any further, you
should know that he's massive.

In a hurt you kind of way.

Yeah, and really handsome.

Not that you're not, of course. Or you,
honey.

All right, everybody just calm down.
It's not going to be pistols at dawn or

anything.

All I'm saying is that I thought about
Emma.

A lot. And if he thought about me in the
same kind of way, then that would be...

It'll be pretty good.

Where's my lamp?

What's that, Ted?

It's in your room, Dad, at the home.

Oh. Grandad!

Wasn't expecting to see you here
tonight.

Who's this?

It's me, Grandad. It's Ben.

Uh, Nathan, can you serve up?

Yep. Dad?

You remember Ben, your grandson.

Where's my land?

It's at the home, Dad. You'll see it
when we get back.

What if somebody's left it on? No one
would have left it on. It'll be fine.

Good to see you, Grandad.

I've missed you.

I'd love to go home now, thank you.

Dad, we'll go home after dinner, okay?

I want to go home now.

Dad, I... I want to go home now! Okay,
okay, Ted. Let's get you home now. Go

Up you go.

I'll come with you.

He didn't remember me.

Sweet Adam. He didn't remember me at
all, Mum.

Home is the centre of your universe.

And when the centre's shifted, nothing
makes sense.

We were just trying to make things
better for him.

Now we know that Ted needs boundaries,
routines.

He can't just be taking places on a
whim. Yeah, well, we won't try again

we know he's ready.

Oh, at this hour?

Well, it's only 8 .30.

Really? Oh, I'm such a nana.

Who is it?

I just had a blast in the past. Another
one?

No!

When did you get into town? About six
weeks ago.

My visa ran out, so I had to come back.

Six weeks?

How's your mum?

She's having a party, and that's
actually the reason I'm here. You're all

invited, and it's tomorrow. It's very
last minute, I know, but we'd love it if

you guys could come. Oh, really? I'll
just check my schedule.

Of course we'll be there.

Great.

We'll leave you two to catch up. I don't
have to. Come on.

See you at the party, yeah.

Hey. Sure.

Yes. Well, thanks.

So, Trish, huh?

The last few times I saw Trish, she
wasn't exactly happy.

Yeah, it was a long time ago.

If memory serves, she returned my
wedding ring.

She told me that you were in London when
you weren't, and she basically did

everything she could to keep us apart.

Not that I'm keeping notes or anything.

Well, I want you there for moral
support.

Besides, she's actually changed a lot
since then.

How are things with you?

How's Saskia?

Still an expert at changing the subject,
aren't you?

Oh, it's strange.

What is?

Well, everyone's coming home, and we
don't even know where home's going to

There's a pretty good chance it won't be
the place with the pink roof.

Oh, no, wasn't that disgusting?

You okay?

Yeah.

Anything worth seeing?

Yeah, there's a couple.

They're open tomorrow.

Don't know how we're going to fit them
in with seeing Dad and Trisha's party.

Well, maybe we should give the nursing
home a miss tomorrow.

Oh, no, darling, I can't. One day won't
hurt.

Look, it's your call, Jules, but I don't
want you to get stressed.

Maybe a day off would do you good.

Both of you.

I suppose he's got Eleanor.

Yeah. I could always call him from the
party and see how he's doing.

Yeah.

Two lovely things, Sammy.

She's a great girl.

After the nightmare of Saskia, anyone
looks good.

Come back, Sammy. All is forgiven.

Hey.

Hey. Hi.

Everything all right?

Yep. Just thought I'd come and say
goodnight.

Night. Night.

Night.

Think you heard me?

Yes, Dad.

I heard it.

It's good to know my tomatoes haven't
died a horrible death.

And here he is.

Here I am.

How long have you been standing there
for?

Months, actually. Never really went
away.

How are you, Em?

I'm good.

And you?

Adjusting. It's pretty full on being
back home and seeing Grandad.

I bet.

Did you want to catch up for a drink
soon, or...? Yeah, that'd be great.

Are you around today?

I'm babysitting, actually. Mum and Dad
are going to a party.

Oh. But we should definitely catch up
soon.

I was going to head off.

Buzz, this is Ben.

Ah. Hey.

Hey.

Ben.

How are you?

I'm good, mate. I'm good.

Happy to be home?

Yeah. It's fantastic.

I'll see you later.

Bye.

Nice to meet you, mate. Yeah.

I'd better run.

Oh, see you. See you.

I'm all good.

Bye, Ben.

How can they call it a three -bedder? A
two -bedroom plus a cordoned off bit of

living room doesn't have the same ring.

The kids are right.

Maybe we have run out of time to buy.

Surprise.

Is it?

Same one.

That's IG being shot.

Did you guys... Jackson and I did what
we could and then I called in this

I can't believe it.

It's fantastic.

You know I hadn't seen the last of that
thing.

Wow.

Wow.

Anyway, it's all yours.

No, I can't take this.

Yes, you can.

Oh, Dave, I'm sorry I trashed it in the
first place.

Well, you've more than made up for it.

Look, I understand if you're still mad.

I'm not mad.

I promise.

You want to take it for a spin?

Just around the block?

Awesome.

Thanks, mate.

No worries.

Isn't she a beauty, Mrs Rafter?

Yes, she is.

This will be adding bigger garage to the
checklist.

It was so weird just seeing him standing
there.

Well, it's not like he's been gone for
years.

You did see him in the clink.

Yeah, but that's different seeing him at
work.

Top up?

When do you reckon he started his exam?

I must have let him study while he was
in there.

Uh, I guess so. And why didn't you tell
me he was coming back? I don't know. I

mean, you tell people you're close to
him when something big's happening,

Toby and I are close.

At least I thought we were. Well, you
have mentioned his name 19 times in the

last five minutes, if that counts for
anything. I'm a hot girl.

Seriously, we must have some room here.

Hi, Dave.

Yeah. Want to do some overtime?

Toby's coming.

Yeah, all right.

We're in.

What?

How'd you go?

Yeah, all good.

Missed having an apprentice to boss
around, though. What are you still doing

here? Haven't got a party to go to? Too
hard getting a babysitter on a Sunday.

Crying shame, really.

I thought Ben was babysitting. Yeah, so
did I, until he fell asleep face down in

the fruit bowl.

The lag officially kicked in. Yeah, it
looks that way.

Oh, well, I don't mind babysitting.

I mean, I know my track record with Ruby
hasn't exactly been rock solid.

Yeah, that's putting it mildly.

I reckon I could handle it.

Thanks, mate, but I want to put you out.
I'm not going to teach you to shoplift

until it's at least four, if that's what
you're worried about.

Well, I can help out.

Really? Yeah, I can babysit Kobe while
he babysits the kids.

Well,

I mean, we've been meaning to catch up,
and that way you and Julie can go to the

party.

Gee, thanks, guys.

Happy birthday.

This is a little something. Oh, give it
to charity. I mean, we all have so much

stuff in our lives, don't we? Oh, yes, I
guess.

Well, you look great. I know.

Three months in an ashram with Abu Dhar,
and look at me, 55 and fabulous.

Abu Dhar? My spirit guide.

Completely changed my life.

It's all about centering and downsizing.
We're all burdened by so much

unnecessary weight, aren't we?

I'm off to Rwanda next week to help
build a school.

The white light that entered me the
moment I made that decision.

For an instant, I was the centre of the
universe.

Really? Just one instant? Hello.

Oh, Trish, this is Donna.

Birthday champagne on the house?

Just a mineral water for me. I don't
drink anymore. I don't need the

crutch. Perhaps for Dave and Julie,
though.

Yes.

Nathan.

Hey, hey, Trish.

There's a lot of darkness in your path,
Nathan.

But I release you.

I release you from the guilt.

It's time, Nathan.

Let the white light in.

Come on, everyone.

Help center Nathan with your energy.

Come on.

Jet lag's really weird, you know.

One minute you're on the nod, the next
you're wired.

Either way, I shouldn't be looking after
small children.

Who's with the kids?

Toby. Toby?

Plus Frankie's there too.

Ah.

So, you up for that drink?

Now?

Unless you're busy.

No, not at all.

Do you want to go somewhere?

I'm easy.

We've got drinks here.

He was perfect.

Must be strange being back.

Yeah, kind of. Sort of feels like I
never left. I mean, even back in my old

room. Weird. And I'm in your old house.

Yeah, that's weird.

How are your parents? Have they found
anything yet?

Oh, no, no, no. They'll still be there
when the new folks move in.

Mum will be like, oh, don't mind us.

We want a cuppa.

Right. Well, we've got... Cider or
cider?

I'll have a cider.

Just make sure it's not too sweet.

I know.

Gives you a rash.

A rash.

Once you've been the centre of someone's
world, is it possible to be anything

else? Cheers.

So, this new guy, Buzz?

Don't pretend you don't know what his
name is. I wasn't pretending.

I was just confirming that you're
actually dating a guy who's named after

cartoon doll.

Is it jealousy or just classic Ben
Rafter smart -ass?

A little from column A, a little from
column B.

I've missed you, Em.

You too.

I've thought about doing this so many
times, just hanging and talking.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

No, it's... I kind of knew something
like this might happen.

But Buzz, he's a great guy.

Kind of like they wouldn't ditch you and
then disappear overseas, right?

We've started something, and I'm going
to give it a go.

Sure.

And the last thing I want to do is mess
you around.

Again.

No, you stay there. I know the way.

Thanks, Eleanor.

Well, give him my love and tell him I'll
see him tomorrow.

Bye.

Sounded positive?

Yeah. Dad's the best he's been since he
moved in.

Oh, God. I just heard you sold your
house. Oh, yeah, that's right. That

nice, just the two of you.

And Ruby.

And Nathan and Edward.

Can't they live somewhere else?

Ruby's only three.

Plus, Nathan's got his heart set on
staying with us.

That's what we do, isn't it, as parents?

Make sacrifices to keep our kids happy?

Absolutely not.

You don't want Sammy to be happy.

Abu Dhar says that we come into this
world alone and we die alone.

It's up to the individual to shape their
own life.

Well, don't think Nathan was alone when
he was born. I distinctly remember being

there. And I filmed it.

Julie, you need to be released from all
the pain that you're carrying around.

It's not healthy for you.

I release you from the vile blackness.

Thanks, Trish. Very kind.

I can't believe you two were ever close.

You're so uptight.

Trust me, she's a lot more relaxed than
she used to be. All the talk about the

Rwandan orphans. I mean, what does she
want, a medal?

Well, you do your charity work too.

Yes, but I don't go on about it, do I?

I don't much care for that blouse
either.

Well, we're at it.

Oh, this is nice.

Yeah, awesome.

You do realise if we keep going like
this, we'll turn into Dave and Julie

Rafter?

Oh, my God. I know.

Oh, God, we're that one step away from
boggle and comfy slippers.

You'd win. I'm crap at spelling.

Did you ever see yourself living like
this?

I'd do something about the decor.

Seriously? Um, yeah.

Eventually, I guess.

I live out in the country. I have lots
of land and do painting. I have, like,

eight kids.

Hey, bloody hell, you'd want to get
started.

You offering?

I suppose a cup is out of the question.
Not at all.

I bet they've got some really big ones
too.

Let's see what's in the treasure chest.

Well... Looks like someone needs some
clearing out.

TMI, folks.

What?

Just... You?

What about me?

You've changed.

How? I don't know. Just more relaxed, I
guess.

Yeah, I... It must be weird that life
sort of kept going without you.

Mine kept going, too.

More chickpeas. Better open a window.

Let's talk about that darkness in you,
Dave.

Oh, Trish, have you met Gary? He's the
boat club chef.

You're responsible for the incredible
canapes. You'll use charge. They're

glorious. I might have to steal you and
lock you away in my pantry.

You're just in time for the cleansing.

Sorry? You will be.

Excuse me, everyone. We are about to
start, so when you feel ready to

just step forward.

And let the universe in.

Dave, why don't you go first?

Yeah, Dad, why don't you go first?

Oh, my universe is just perfect, thanks.

Oh. Oh,

I'm so sorry.

It's not okay.

Oh, I'm such an oaf. That was right in
your middle chakra.

My chakra? Let me help you sit down.

Get your hands off him!

Well, that certainly killed the party.

I can't believe I missed it. My bladder
has the worst timing.

Why? What happened?

Menopause the musical. Oh, Sammy.

Title fight at the boat club, Trish
versus Donna.

I'll put the kettle on. You can hear the
highlights.

So how were the kids?

Amazing. I'm not a peep. Yeah, Ben's
crashed out too. Jules, cuppa?

Love one?

I'll get the bickies, Sammy.

Yes, please.

What are you doing now? I thought I
might go mainline some tequila. Can't

long as you don't talk about fibre. So,
tempt you with a cuppa?

There it is.

No, thank you. No, thank you. I think
we'd better get going.

Yeah, I'm going to hit the... Hey.

Okay. Thank you so much. See you later.
See you.

Bye.

Oh, wow.

It's Daphia.

Are you going to answer it?

Hey. Long time no speak.

Yeah, just hang on.

She said that her treatment's going
well.

She's on antidepressant.

But she feels ready to see Edward.

Ready.

That's her words. What? She's coming to
Sydney?

Yeah.

When's that going to happen?

A couple of weeks.

So what are you going to do?

I don't know.

She hasn't been here for Edward. She
can't just...

waltz in and expect me to fall over
backwards for her.

She is his mother.

Could have fooled me.

Nathan, she's going to have to have a
say in his upbringing.

And you can't keep Edward from his mum.

Okay, Matt, line them up. We brought
tequila.

Hello?

It's been rich, it's been real, see you
on the flip side roomie.

He's moved out.

Seems sudden.

Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

He wouldn't just leave for no reason.

Not if things were working out.

Is it something to do with me?

What do you mean?

I don't know.

Did something happen?

No, no, no.

There was a moment.

You know what? It's not my business.

It was fine for you to ask. It's
actually not.

Really? It was nothing. It's cool.

And like I said, it's not my business.

As long as you're okay with him going.

Yeah. Yeah.

Thanks.

So? So... A bottle of tequila between
two is a bit much.

Yeah, yeah. I'll leave the lid on it, I
guess.

I should go then.

If you want to.

I'm not sure that I do.

I've, um... I've got beer, if you'd
prefer beer.

He's good.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

No, actually, no, I'm not.

I don't think this is a very good idea.

It's a bit late now.

Yeah, I know.

Hey. No, I don't... I think it's a
mistake.

It's your call.

Yeah, I reckon we could fit you in
around about two o 'clock.

Okay. Thanks for the call.

It's amazing how something so small can
make so much washing, eh? Oh, tell me

about it.

If Trish wants something to cleanse, you
should put her powers to better use.

You feeling better?

Yeah. Yep.

That's good.

You know, I thought I could just shut
Saskia out of Edward's life, but it's

realistic.

You found a place to buy yet?

I think renting's more practical at this
stage.

Hey, listen, Dad.

Yeah?

I think that you should just look for a
place big enough for you guys.

What about you and Edward?

You and mum have been great. You've been
more than great.

And I'll come over all the time, but I
need my own place.

You sure?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll manage.

Yeah, you do what you have to do.

Just one thing.

Let me tell your mother.

It's been great catching up with
everyone.

I've grown up a lot.

I need the phone.

I've got to have the Kingswood looked
at.

It's making that clunking noise again.

The king's wood?

The car.

It's been playing up.

Oh, okay.

Well, you know what I'm talking about.

Yeah. All right.

I'll call the mechanic this afternoon.

Yeah, good, Louise.

Likes you better than me. Might give you
a bit of a discount, eh?

I'm going for a walk.

Oh, I'll come to you if you like. No,
no, no, you stay here. I won't get long.

I vaguely remember the car, I just
didn't make the connection.

Can I ask you something?

Is it me that upsets him?

I mean, I don't know what he's like when
I'm not here.

I don't like seeing him distressed and I
don't think it was me that was making

it worse.

I don't think he's that black and white.
Aren't you being polite?

Just be honest.

He does seem...

A bit more confused with you.

I think seeing you drags him back to the
present, and then he resists it.

So what do I do?

Can't be anything other than myself.

How'd you go with Emma?

Don't try and distract me.

You made big of yourself.

Oh, what?

You were worth it going there when you
left.

That's possible.

She's moved on, and I'm not going to be
the guy to wreck all that.

Buzz would wreck you.

Oh, you reckon?

So, you all right?

Yeah, of course.

It does sting a bit, because I'm ready
now, and I wasn't before.

But Emma's found Buzz.

And I'm going to find somebody too.

It's kind of exciting, you know, knowing
that it's possible.

What about you, eh? Yeah.

The big 3 -0 and I wasn't at the party.

Bet it was massive.

Oh, it was massive, all right.

Me and Rita almost broke up.

What? No way. Why?

I knew business was killing us.

But things haven't been the same since
we lost the baby.

Anyway, so...

Where are you going next?

I might stay put. I'm over -travelling.

Ah, you can move back here.

Oh, I don't think so. I think staying
here would be a bit weird.

Oh, that's all right. I don't mind
weird.

I like weird.

I know, mate.

I know.

Here you go.

Hello. Hey. Thank you.

Hello.

How are you going?

Honestly, I don't know.

Depending on what happens with Saskia, I
might have to go back to the UK.

Yeah, well, cross that bridge when you
come to it.

Tried to warn me about the age
difference, about having a kid together

but you never said I told you so.

Not once.

I'd never say that.

You and Dad are a hard act to follow,
you know.

You're a great team. You're always
happy.

Yeah, give or take a hundred off days.

Darling, no matter what country you end
up in, you're tied to Edward for the

rest of your life, and that's exciting.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess it is.

And he's tied to you, aren't you?

Well, until he turns 18, and then he'll
probably take off overseas.

Oh, yes, and then he'll return to mooch
off me once he has a surprise kid and he

needs the free rent.

I'll look after you when you're old.

Grandad's okay.

No, he's not really.

I think I just make it harder for him to
settle.

Why don't you both have a break?

You got enough on your plate with the
house hunting and everything? Why don't

you just take a couple of weeks off?

I can't, darling.

A few days, then.

Ben and I'll still visit.

I just hate seeing him upset.

You love him, Mum.

That's never in doubt.

You've only ever done what's best for
him.

When did you get to be so smart?

Online course.

I'll send you the link.

Thanks.

It's too better an armpit, looks
probably.

Two better. What happened to three?

Yeah, about that.

Nathan's not moving in with us.

You do?

I can read your mind, darling.

I saw him looking at units online.

And you're okay with that? Oh, well,
he's a dad now. He's going to make his

nest.

Place it, old man. We're not the center
of their world anymore.

No.

Just like this house isn't going to be
the center of ours.

I miss this house already.

Me too.

Ben travelled around the world to say
goodbye to it.

Yeah, but it's not the same for them.

It's not the same wrench that we feel.

Just as well.

We can't all chain ourselves to the
veranda on settlement day.

You know what? I think we can chuck
these.

What?

They keep the right. We've run out of
time.

Let's look at renting.

Really? Yep.

Sure.

Go away.

Go away.

I really didn't like that one. My place
in the universe might have changed,

but there's someone who will always be
the center of mine.
