ANNOUNCER: Previously on The Heights...

The kiss meant nothing.

The thought of being my own boss is appealing,

doing something I enjoy, something I'm good at.

Which is...

Such a good man and a great ambassador for our community.

Must be weird, yeah, seeing your mum's face everywhere?

We'd slept together! Did that not mean anything to you?

What? No! Why bring this up now?

Guess I needed closure.

- I'm so glad we swiped right. - Me too.

We got the leads, baby. You're looking at Professor Henry Higgins.

- And you're Eliza. - Whoa.

ROSE: What do you know of poetry?

What do you know of science?

What does he know of art or science or anything else?

What the devil do you imagine I know of philosophy?

Miss Doolittle.

Here she is, Mother.

(LOUDER) Here she is, Mother.

(BREATHLESSLY) Sorry, I missed my cue.

Let's all take five, shall we?

It's alright. The hook got stuck. It's totally my bad.

Ah, Victorian-era fashion. I prefer Elizabethan velcro myself.

Do you need any help?

Or some extra time getting in and out of costume?

I can totally slow things down, milk my speech a little.

No, I'm good.

We can rehearse the costume change itself if you like.

Let's just do it again.

Alright. Let's take it from Eliza's grand re-entrance.

Places.

And... action!

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

(ANA LAUGHS)

Where have you two been?

Hiking.

What? I like nature. We both do.

That's a bold fashion choice.

Yeah, I'm doing a Month of Saying Yes

and Ana took advantage of that.

What? We needed a change of clothes

and that servo had great options.

I'm rocking this.

There was an incident.

- Yeah, and whose fault was it? - It was caused entirely by Evan.

Oh, I'm sorry. Who claimed to know an awesome shortcut?

Right.

It's a whole thing. You kinda have to hear it from the start.

But you'll agree that I was merely coming to the rescue

like a... like a good boyfriend.

But we need to get out of these clothes.

To shower.

Catch you later.

Uh... See ya.

(LAUGHS)

(BABY COOS)

Yes, I know what you're thinking. They do seem happy.

(STUDENTS CHATTER)

Is it possible you overdid it today, Miss Doolittle?

No, I'm fine.

- Really, it's just one of those days. - Mm. A week early?

We spend way too much time together.

Hang later? I'm thinking couch, elasticated clothing.

Okay, so you know this weird bit you two are doing?

I'm cancelling it.

Speak. Use your words.

Nice rack.

Okay, I was wrong. You're better on silent.

Later?

I've got to get this to the storeroom.

Do you need a hand?

Thanks, but I can do it myself.

Crap!

Are you sure you're okay?

Absolutely.

It's just been a big one.

And I still need to get my costume-change down pat.

From that to that

in 45 seconds.

It's just a matter of practice.

I'm going to nail it. I believe in you.

Okay.

Thanks.

See ya.

You know what I think is clever about the classes

that Erika's set up at the Centre?

The first one's free.

Guess I'm just not that clever.

- How many did you sign up for? - All of them.

They have everything. Pottery. Astrology. Tick and tick.

Social Media for Seniors.

About time!

Someone sensible to talk to.

- (CHUCKLES) - AMBER: Hey, babe.

- Hey! - Hey.

Hi. I'm Amber. You must be Hazel.

Amber. Yeah, of course.

I've got to grab my art book. I left it under your bed last night.

Yeah, go for it.

Must be serious.

It is.

You never mention them unless you're gonna marry them.

Maybe I am.

Maybe I'm organising some hilarious weekend away

where I plan to pop the question.

Oh, no! Eduardo's just dropped out.

He was the subject for my art class tonight.

I guess I'll have to cancel.

Oh, bugger.

I was looking forward to that.

I'll do it.

- Really? - Yeah.

This is what it looks like when a boyfriend comes to the rescue.

Boyfriend, huh?

You're the best.

Class starts at 6:30.

- Nice to finally meet you. - Yeah.

- See ya. - See ya.

Looks like I'll be seeing a lot more of you later on.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYS)

PAV: Thank you. Have a great day.

Bye for meow.

(PHONE RINGS)

Hello?

Yeah, this is Pav.

Cliff, hi, yeah.

No, I am definitely interested.

Yeah, no, it's a great deal, mate.

Yeah.

Well, look, I wouldn't be able to get by till later...

Pav, personal calls can be made in your personal time.

Uh... Just... Just hold on sec, would you?

Seth, sorry.

This mate of mine has got a great bargain

on this thing I need

but he needs me to pick it up this afternoon.

Can I duck out, make it up tomorrow?

If you want to go, I can't stop you,

but there won't be a job here for you tomorrow if you do.

Wow, really?

You're... (CHUCKLES) You're serious?

Vulcans never bluff.

You feel me, right?

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

- Wow, alright then. - Great.

Uh...

Do you want me to leave the uniform now

or can I drop it by later?

Wait, are you... Do you mean...

Vulcans never bluff.

I quit.

Later's fine.

Cheers, mate.

Cliff, yeah, I'll see you soon.

Okay, bye.

Seth... goodbye.

We don't say goodbye here. We say, "Bye for meow."

At least we got Geography out of the way.

Now it's time for Legacy Craft 2.

Hi, honey!

Oh, don't stop for us.

Oh, this is my one hour of non-campaign time today

and I'd rather spend it with my child than sweat anymore.

Um... This is Kam. Kam, Mum.

- Ms Worsfield. - Call me Juliana, please.

Wow, you have a lovely house, Juliana.

Oh, thank you, Kam.

Kamran Jafari, right?

I've heard of you.

Being good with names isn't impressive in a politician, Mum.

It's basically your job description.

FYI, my staff have me scheduled back to back from tonight.

Election fever. We're in the home stretch.

Yeah, of course.

Um... How do you rate your chances tomorrow?

Well, it'll be tight.

Have you been following the election?

I mean, it's hard not to. My uncle's all over it.

Right. Who's he backing?

Um... He's pretty big on Reza Fattah.

- (CHUCKLES) - Sorry.

Don't be. That's democracy.

You're free to vote for whoever you please.

It's my job to get people to cast their ballot for me.

Yeah. Well, I mean, you've got my boss onside.

She's got posters of you all over her shop.

Alright, let's do this.

Who's your boss?

(SIGHS)

- (SIGHS) - (PHONE BLIPS)

(PHONE TRILLS)

(SIGHS)

(PHONE TRILLS)

(PANTS)

(PHONE TRILLS)

- (PHONE TRILLS) - (PANTS)

- (DRAMATIC MUSIC FROM TV) - So she gets married in the '40s,

travels to the 1800s, is forced to get married again.

Who is she actually meant to be with?

That one got a line of his own whisky.

- In the show? - In real life.

KAM: Hey.

Um... I was going to call ahead, but she really wanted to surprise you.

Who?

Oh! Juliana!

- You must be Iris. - Yes.

Kam's told me all about you.

I just came by to thank you for your support.

It's people like you that I do this for.

Well, people like me want to know small businesses are taken care of.

Absolutely. Stores like this are the lifeblood of a community.

Well, you and I are very similar. We don't put up with nonsense.

We can't. We're too busy getting stuff done.

That's right.

It's not easy being a woman in business, or in politics.

But our success is how we change the game.

Our government can help people to build themselves a brighter future,

but it takes a strong work ethic.

Clearly that's in good supply around here.

So is food. Are you hungry? We have excellent mochi.

Go get her mochi.

I'd love that, but this really is just a quick hello.

And, uh... I'm running late already.

Oh, can we have a photo? Could you take one for us?

- Sure. - Thank you. Come on in.

Sully, come on.

I'm camera shy.

Alright.

Smile.

One, two.

PAV: And that makes $650.

I said $700.

Yeah, you also said it wasn't damaged.

That's a pretty big dent.

Fair enough.

You're getting a bargain either way.

If you don't mind me asking,

how'd you come across one of these so cheap?

Fell off the back of a truck.

Okay, I can't have a stolen coffee grinder.

No, like, it actually fell off the back of a packing truck.

That's how it got the dent.

It still works, though.

Pleasure doing business with you, Pav.

Okay.

- Hey! - Hey!

You're looking very snazzy.

Well, I've got to look my best for the class

and this is the nicest shirt I have.

Hope it's okay.

I... thought you knew.

Knew what?

It's a life-modelling class.

Which means nude.

Is that gonna be a problem?

No, of course not!

I won't Eduardo you.

No, my boyfriend would never do that.

Strip off in the office.

There's a robe for you to change into.

(GRUNTS)

(SIGHS)

Not today, Satan.

Not today.

(SIGHS)

- (SCREAMS) - Oh!

Shannon! Jeez!

Didn't anyone ever teach you to knock?

Me?! I work here! What are you...

Oh, no, no!

I've been looking forward to this class all week!

I even got Mum to look after Patch!

Well, don't let me stop you.

I don't want to paint you in the nude!

We're siblings. You've seen it all before.

Yeah, when we were, like, five!

And now we are mature adults. So let's be grown-up about this.

I don't want to see how you've...

grown up!

Just please don't do this!

I have to.

Amber needs me.

Argh!

You ruin everything.

- (HUFFS) - (DOOR SLAMS)

(EXHALES HEAVILY)

(CLATTERING)

(RATTLING)

What's going on in...

Pav?

Uh...

Welcome to my cafe.

(SIGHS)

(HUFFS)

- (QUIETLY) Hey. - (QUIETLY) Sorry I'm so late.

Hey.

Hey.

This is just a last-minute thing, a favour for Amber.

Yeah, oh, same, last minute.

The... Month of Saying Yes strikes again.

- Yeah. - AMBER: Shall we begin?

Yeah.

Alright, you've got one hour. Let's see what you've got.

LAILA: You're in so much trouble.

Kamran, what's the meaning of this?

- What? - Show him what you showed me.

Helena found Iris's pic of you and Juliana.

She reposted it on her campaign account.

- And you showed him? - He saw it over my shoulder.

- What do you want me to do? - This is a Reza household, Kamran.

That woman is no good for Arcadia.

Look, honestly, she's not as bad as she can come off in the media.

What was she even doing here? Did she get lost?

I knew it'd make Iris's day, alright? She's my mate's mum.

Which mate is this? I don't know such a mate.

The one I study with. I've been over a few times.

This time she was actually there.

Hope you got her autograph,

but it won't be worth anything when Reza takes her seat.

MARYAM: Dinner is almost ready.

Enough with the politics for now.

Erika mentioned the re-zoning

and it just sort of snowballed from there.

Yeah, I heard there was a new business coming.

I just didn't realise that it was...

Yep, it's me. I figured why not?

You know, I've got the compo payout...

How much did you sink into this?

All of it.

Well, I... I had to do something positive.

You know, I needed to move forward.

Mm, like a shark.

Sharks can't move backwards, only forwards.

It was in a documentary I accidentally watched once.

Am I crazy doing this?

Well, you've still got the security job

to keep things afloat for a while.

Yeah.

Pav, please tell me you didn't.

It was a heat-of-the-moment decision.

That's why things are on fast-forward here.

The cafe was always a bit theoretical,

something to work towards after work and at the weekends.

But now that I've quit...

it has to happen ASAP.

By tomorrow, though?

Being a toothless mall cop wasn't me.

This feels like it might be.

Especially if it helps provide for the kids, for Patch.

Who else knows?

Only Leonie.

Wasn't sure anyone else would care.

You really are a doofus.

Look, if I talked about this and nothing came of it...

I'd rather not.

- (TIMER BUZZES) - Ooh!

At least I've got a good oven.

Mmm. What are these called again?

Hot!

Pastizzi.

Maltese savoury pastries.

- Mm. Get used to explaining that. - (CHUCKLES)

Is there anything I can help with?

Is there any chance you know how to froth

almond milk without burning it?

That Karen woman should move suburbs.

Hell, she should move states!

I actually don't hate her.

Mm. Of course, 'cause you're a classy adult.

Hating her is the job of friends, and I am all over it.

I'm totally gonna stalk her socials.

Ugh, I bet she's got some inspirational quote as her bio.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Oh.

Oh, what is it?

Sorry, I've just got to make a quick call.

Hi, Rose. I just saw...

When were you meant to meet up?

Well, who did you last see her with?

Really?

SHANNON: Voilà!

It's never as pretty with almond,

but it's the taste that counts.

I know coffee, but all these different milks

are probably going to be the undoing of me, so...

I'm just glad my two-week barista stint in Port Henry's

finally paid off.

Hey, if I can do it, so can you. Just don't overthink it.

There's no chance of that.

You're talking to the man who decided to open a cafe

without ever having worked in one in his life.

- (CHUCKLES) - (EXHALES HEAVILY)

Pav, stop it. Pav.

As an expert in dodgy decisions, I can assure you this isn't one.

- Come on, your turn. - Okay.

Then a squirt.

- Heat it up. - (PHONE DINGS)

- (BABY COOS ON PHONE) - (LAUGHS)

Show me.

Ah!

- HAZEL: Peek-a-boo! - (GIGGLES)

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Here I come again. (SCATS)

He's loving that, isn't he? (CHUCKLES)

- Are you ready? - (BABY LAUGHS)

Peek-a-boo!

(COOS)

- (BABBLES) - I'll, uh... send it to you.

I'd better go pick him up.

Hey, thanks, Shannon.

Hey, smash it tomorrow.

(EXHALES HEAVILY)

You've really captured his vulnerability, Watto.

It's an incredibly evocative piece.

- Naturally. - (BOTH CHUCKLE)

Yours too.

You really focused on the anatomical details.

- Hey. - Hey.

- For your services. - Mm-mm.

- You sure? - Of course!

Well, we should all go for a drink then.

- What do you say? - Yeah.

Uh... But my girlfriend's meeting me out the front in five,

but if she can come with?

- The more the merrier. - Yeah.

- First round's on me. - WATTO: Deal.

(LAUGHS)

(CHUCKLES) Come on.

ANA: So I hit the accelerator...

But I haven't had a chance to get out of the way yet.

The tyres spin...

And this river of mud just cascades over me.

- But worst of all... - BOTH: The car's still bogged.

So I get out to help him and he basically tackles me into the mud.

To... To get even, obviously.

Hence the servo shirts.

You guys are the cutest.

Aren't they the cutest?

They are the cutest.

- I'm so glad you were able to join us. - Me too.

WATTO: Ana, my dear!

What do you think of this masterpiece?

- Wait, we don't need to... - Whoa!

- Huh? - This is oddly confronting.

HAZEL: It's Ryan! Hasn't changed since he was a boy!

- What?! - Really kinda...

follows you around the room, doesn't it?

- We should hang that above the bar. - No!

Oh.

A little touchy, aren't we, lad?

(ALL LAUGH)

Sabine!

Are you alright?!

I'm fine, Mother. Calm down.

What are you doing here?

Well, Rose was concerned when you didn't show up

and she tried calling.

And when you didn't answer, she called me.

Really, I'm fine. I just fell asleep. It's no biggie.

Just take it slow.

(SIGHS) How did you know I was here? What time is it?

Hey.

What are you doing in here?

RYAN: Well, that trip sounds like one for the books.

Yeah, we spent six hours trapped on an unmapped dirt road,

discussing who would eat who first.

So, um... Yeah, it was kind of perfect.

That might be something Amber and I look into.

You two seem to be having fun.

Yeah, for the most part, even if she is terrible at Pac-Man.

Yeah, that's a... That's a niche dating requirement, dude.

I'm a niche guy.

My perfect woman can kick my arse at Pac-Man, loves an in-joke

and is excellent at calling me on my bullshit.

Does that describe the last girl?

Ana mentioned that you were sort of getting over a break-up.

Yeah. Uh...

Yeah. Lottie was her name.

That's good man, managing to move on.

Yeah, totally.

Do you think maybe you overdid it?

Notice no-one else in the cast

gets asked if they're pushing themselves too hard?

You passed out in a storeroom.

It's called a nap. Beauty sleep is a vital part of my regime.

You can't ignore the evidence.

Okay, I'm working hard and I'm tired as a result.

Isn't that just the human condition?

Sabine.

Rose mentioned something about the costume change.

Did she say I couldn't do it?

No, she just said it was tricky.

If I let them treat me like I can't do stuff,

then that's all they'll see.

When I look at you, all I see is perfection.

You have to say that. I'm your baby.

Just listen to your body if it urges you to take a rest.

Next time you think you're going to start snoring in a storeroom,

- pack a pillow! - I don't snore!

These walls aren't as thick as you think they are.

(SCOFFS)

Were you scared?

Mm... A little.

Mm.

I'm sorry.

I won't let it happen again.

Good.

Now, hurry up and finish your dinner.

(CHUCKLES) You really are an excellent mother and doctor.

Mm! I know.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Now we have election coverage!

Reckon we're safe?

I bloody well hope so.

So you think it's alright to sell the Towers and kick everyone out?

This is our home, Kamran!

Aunty Maryam, this is Dane Worsfield.

- Hi. - Worsfield.

(CHATTERS INAUDIBLY)

Kissing's not nothing.

I mean, it can be pretty full-on.
