GEORGE: What can I tell you
about my brother Terry?

[ Exhales deeply ]

Good evening, one and all.

It´s morning, Uncle Terry.

Ah, it´s all relative.

We´re all relatives,
you know... relatively speaking.

GEORGE: What can I tell you
about my brother Terry

that doesn´t make me sound like
the grumpy old fart

he says I am?

Column?

Speech.

Cutting it fine.

GEORGE: We haven´t seen
much of you lately.

I´m opening
a fine-dining experience,

and that takes long hours.

Well, that would explain
the reek of tequila.

No idea how that happened.

[ Laughs ]

Say yes.

[ Glass thuds ]

Yes!
[ Laughs ]

Anyone need a lift?
I´m leaving in 10.

Oh, sweet.
I´ll grab a shower.

Haven´t you just come from work?

Shay, it´s a fine-dining
experience,

not a fish-and-chip shop,

which demands I put in
the hours.

Actually, I´m doing my own
version of fish and chips.

It´s mind-blowing.

The triple-cooked one with the
polenta coating from your book?

You´ve made it?

Yeah. Well, Dad helped
the first few times.

[ Laughs ]
Thank you, Arlo.

Thank you
for the awesome recipe.

I think you just helped me solve
a problem.

I did?

He´s a born entertainer,
a natural in the spotlight,

and if you haven´t already,

you will not be able to resist
falling in love with him.

Until suddenly he´s gone...

or you find him crying
in an alleyway

or he´s curled up in a fetal
ball on your kitchen floor,

begging you to forgive him
one more time.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

You do remember where
the all-night-all-day lifestyle

got you in the past, right?

It was just a couple of drinks
with the crew

while we sorted the booze list.

Besides, I should be the one
worrying about you.

The recent failed relationship.

It´s not failed.
It´s just on hold.

Knocking up your wife´s
best mate.

Not proven yet.

With twins.
With our family history.

Yeah. I´m well aware
of our family history, thanks.

All I´m saying is,
the mess that your life´s in,

I look like a saint.

Hey, Bren.
How´s my pecorino?

Just dropped it off.

The best an East Friesian sheep
can produce.

-Love you.
-Oh. [ Laughs ]

So you and Jan decided
to procreate

after a long, sober thought.

Dougie boy.
How´s it going?

My finest work,
brining as we speak.

The unspeakable
gherkin-shaped body parts?

[ Laughs ]

Your brother, George.
Hard case.

[ Laughs ]

So, Jan and the babies.

You think she planned it?

What?

Has it occurred to you
that she might have lured you

into this whole baby-daddy trap
on purpose?

-No.
-Come on, man.

She´s been giving you
the longing look

way before Laura even died.

You´re only saying that
´cause she doesn´t like you.

She´s thinks I´m a wastrel.

And you haven´t
exactly done anything

to challenge that perception,
have you?

Yo, Terry.

Kia ora, Zac.
How are we doing?

Kai moana are all sorted.

Hey, George.

Zac.

Uh, the paua?

The crays, the karengo,
the hapuka, and yes, the paua.

And, uh,
how about that other thing?

Got someone up in the bush
harvesting that as we speak.

Um, harvesting what?

Poaka, George.

Pork.

-Oh.
-Geez.

He´s been here how long and
he still doesn´t know the lingo?

George tries his best.

Everything will be there
at the agreed time and price.

You´re the man, Zac.

I know.

-George.
-Zac.

Okay.

If Jan was trying to trap me,
how come Zac´s in the running?

It was Guy Fawkes Night.
How could she resist him?

You´re here for five minutes

and you know everything
about everything?

I have my sources.

So, you like the name?

It means "good food."

Or "lots of food."
I don´t actually know.

-I just like the way it looks.
-Good for you.

Oh, here he is.
My golden Aussie goose.

We need to talk about the
guest list for the opening, man.

I don´t care about that, but
I have solved an actual problem.

[ Handsaw whirring ]

Hey.

Here to give the younger brother
a hand, eh?

Just wanted to see
how it´s coming along.

Flash joint like this
right here in Weld.

There´ll be no putting
your chips in your burgers here.

Don´t you think it´s a bit...

A bit what?

A bit much.

-A bit much what?
-A bit much of everything.

I mean, how much do you reckon
this is all costing?

By my calculations, buckets.

And you´re not worried it´s
another music-festival fiasco?

It´s not Robbie
writing the checks.

And anyway,
I´m doing it for Tezza.

Mate, he can charm the birds
out of trees, that bloke.

I actually think I saw him
talking to a native wood pigeon.

And, George,
they´re as rare as...

well... well,
native wood pigeons, mate.

Yeah. As long as he didn´t
kill it and eat it.

Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Am I detecting a whiff
of brotherly wet blanket?

-No, not at all.
-Yeah. Well, look.

This used to be the world´s
worst Chinese restaurant, okay?

Your brother could serve up
Vegemite on toast.

He´d be doing Weld a favor.

How can that possibly be
a bad thing, George?

[ Hammer tapping ]

SHAY: We´re getting really good
at this.

I´ll e-mail him and tell him
they´re are on their way.

Oh, Internet´s down.

Have you not called Ike
to fix it?

Uh, no.

Still like that, is it?

Uh, yes.

This isn´t good, Shay.

It feels wrong that all this
has come between you two.

What´s wrong is him throwing
his weight around.

[ Bell chimes ]

You go.
I´ll finish up here.

Hey, gorgeous.

Your uncle´s a genius.
You know that?

So he keeps telling us.

How can I help?

There´s a glaringly empty wall
in my restaurant,

and I´m just looking for
something to fill the void.

Well, everything in here
is for sale,

and we have more out back
I can bring out.

Yeah. This crafty crap
isn´t gonna cut it, I´m afraid.

But, uh, I keep hearing
about this Denis chap

who´s the hot ticket
with the Euro crowd.

You got anything of his?

Uh, maybe.

I´m looking for something
to lease

to impress the visiting
richie-riches.

So if you´ve got anything
that fits the bill,

why don´t you bring it on down
and we´ll see how it hangs.

Get it? "See how it hangs."
See what I did there?

-Yeah.
-It´s a picture.

-I-I see.
-Yeah.

And I´ll see what I can do.

Good girl.

So, seeing anyone new?

I only just broke up with Emma.

Right.
Still not over it.

She was the love of my life,
Billy.

I think it might take
a couple of weeks.

Don´t look up.
Don´t make eye contact.

-[ Down-tempo music plays ]
-Hey.

Hey.

[ Sighs ]
You need to be careful.

She´s out to get you.

Out to get me how?

You´re a loner now.

She´ll sense this and pounce...
Like a cheetah.

Shay!

Oh, hey, Ollie.

What´s up?

Uh, just on my way to get lunch.

Are you still at the gallery?

Sort of.
Got a project on.

Shouldn´t you be at school?

Oh, I have a loose relationship
with schooling,

especially when Dad needs
someone to man the pumps.

Okay.

Hey, I heard you and Ike
are goneburger.

He´s an idiot, dumping you.

-And who exactly told you that?
-He did.

You deserve better, Shay.

Way, way better.

Yeah.
Ta.

See ya.

BIG MAC: We want
the front cover, obviously,

and a couple of inside spreads.

So basically the whole paper.

Yeah.
Your point being?

But we have other stories
to consider.

Such as?

Has that pothole been filled?

-Yeah.
-There you go.

People have been complaining
about that pothole for ages.

In the process, they created
a whole new pothole nearby.

Yeah.

We have a world-famous chef
opening a world-class eatery.

Yes.
I get it.

Not to mention the flow-on
effect to the local economy

with the influx of people
coming to Weld to eat

at this world-class eatery.

Understood.

In the off season, George,
when nothing happens

and usually we don´t even
publish the damn paper.

-That is true.
-Yes, I get all of that.

[ Chuckles ]

Terry told me you´d do this.

Do what?

Pour cold water
on the whole thing.

I´m not pouring cold water
on anything.

Look. Terry´s a great chef.
He really is.

And I´m sure your opening night
will be great...

Except if it´s like the one
in Chippendale,

where he threw a meat cleaver
at the owner.

The thing is,
I´m just trying to prepare you

for what happens after,
when Terry gets bored

or when Terry doesn´t get
what he wants or when Terry...

I have three sons, George.

I know about sibling rivalry,
especially when the youngest

happens to be the star
that shines brightest.

Until he gets arrested.

Robbie and Terry walk
a fine line

because they´re risk-takers,
like me.

I´m just worried
that Terry will inevitably...

Worrying is for sheepdogs
and old women, George.

Kai Nui will bring people,
wealth, and opportunity to Weld,

and I want you to get on board.

Front cover, two inside spreads,
and the back page.

"Weld, gastronomic capital
of the free world."

A teeny bit over the top,
Gloria, but on the right track.

And you´ll be making a speech
at the opening, too, by the way.

I will?

You will.

I thought that was
your territory.

Usually I would say a few words,

but Terry asked for you
to speak.

Of course he did.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

You know we have to go soon,
right?

Mm-hmm.

And you know you have to say
nice things about him, right?

It´s like he´s got
the whole town

wrapped around
his little finger.

He always does going in.

It´s his exit strategies
where things fall apart.

I really, really don´t want him
to mess up

what I´ve got here, Jan.

Understandable.

So isn´t it my duty
as a citizen of the world,

of this world,

to warn people
about what could go wrong?

In principle, yes, but beware
the boy who cried wolf.

Yes, but at the end
of that story, there was a wolf,

-and it eats all the sheep.
-And the boy.

So I should just keep
my warnings to myself then.

And fill the paper
with sweetness and light.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

IKE:
Hey.

Not speaking to you.

Are you okay?

Yeah.
Just fine, thanks.

After hearing Ollie tell me
how you dumped me.

What?
I never said that.

He asked if we were still
going out,

and I said, "Not so much."

Ike the Honest had to give him
the story.

I wasn´t gonna lie, Shay.
Lying is what this is all about.

No. It´s about you
trying to control me.

I just want you to see
that what you´re doing is wrong.

That´s the same thing.

-No, not really.
-Yeah, really.

So what?

What am I meant to say
when people ask about us?

Just be honest and say yeah,
we´re over.

Because honesty is what
you´re all about, right?

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Buzzing ]

[ Buzzing stops ]

Seriously?

Hello?

Bad idea getting a flying robot
to do your dirty work.

-I thought it was cool.
-No. It´s creepy.

Oh, this?

No.
No, it´s not.

Yes, it is.

Um, okay.

Uh, you´re dying
of a heart attack,

and it´s rush-hour traffic, so
an ambulance can´t get through.

But a drone can deliver
a defibrillator.

Creepy?

It´s Weld.
The rush hour is like two cars.

Fiona could throw
the defibrillator.

I´m just saying drones can do
all kinds of cool stuff.

I can show you if you want.

[ Up-tempo music plays ]

[ Buzzing ]

You´re a natural.

It´s like flying a kite,
only not lame.

Oh, give it to me.

No.
I´m just getting the hang of it.

Trust me.
You´re gonna love this.

[ Music continues ]

OLLIE:
[ Laughs ]

SHAY:
Ew. What is he doing?

Sean´s one of those
winter-swim nutbars.

Comes down every afternoon.

You should see him do
his stretches.

Oh, no. I really do not
want to see that.

-[ Laughs ]
-Oh, stop him!

Your wish is my command.

[ Buzzing ]

Oh.

[ Both laughing ]

Serves him right

for all the hoops
he made me and Ike jump through.

Yeah.
Well, I made him pay for it.

[ Chuckles ]
You really did.

Thank you.

Hey, um, I´ve got to go,
but this has been awesome.

We should do it again sometime.

Yeah, yeah.
Sure.

I´m on the warpath,
and I won´t stop until I find

that conniving thief
of a brother of yours.

What´s he done now?

-He´s poached Hannah.
-From the Boat Club?

No, George,
in a pan of boiling water.

Yes, from the Boat Club.

She handed in her notice
by text... with emoji.

I´m so sorry.

She can sleep
with whoever she likes,

and I get why she might think
that he´s hot, but seriously...

Sorry.
They´re sleeping together?

Do you always have to be

the last person to find out
what´s going on?

Women love him,
and he loves them back.

Then he leaves them, usually
without telling them why...

The why being that he is
a narcissist of epic proportions

who does whatever Terry wants
whenever he wants it.

Sometimes these women want to
try and kill Terry.

But till now, Terry´s older
brother has stopped them.

That...may...change.

Do you seriously think
a row of sad faces

is the best way to tell me
you´re leaving?

TERRY:
Ah, George.

If you´re here to vent your
disapproval, join the queue.

I´m not leaving leaving
like I´m breaking up with you.

TERRY: She´s just changing jobs
for a bit.

It happens in our business.

It´s also called loyalty, Terry.

I can fight my own battles.
Thank you, George.

But he is right
about the loyalty thing.

I get to be maître d´, Fiona.

This is a pretty cool gig
for me.

And it´s not like you and I have
an employment contract, is it?

You could have at least
talked to me about it first.

[ Sighs ]

I didn´t know about this offer
until last night.

What about when the restaurant
shuts down?

HANNAH:
I don´t know.

I´ll go back to my other job,
I guess.

Maybe.
If it´s still there.

That was actually George´s way

of asking what my intentions are
with Hannah.

Ah. I think you made those
pretty clear the night we met.

[ Chuckles ]

Not those intentions.

Longer-term intentions.

Isn´t that right?

See, George thinks I have
a reputation.

Reputations are earned, Terry.

He thinks I fall in
with the wrong women...

No.
They fall in with the wrong you.

And then I leave them.

Ah.

And there may be the smallest
amount of truth in that,

I must confess.

Well, were any of these women
me?

They most certainly were not.

I just don´t want to see you
getting hurt.

Okay.

I am not some sappy
little twinkie.

I´m a big girl,
and I can look after myself.

So you can go and take
all this judgy-judgy with you,

before I start asking the two of
you about what´s going on there.

Out of here.

You know, everyone´s welcomed me
into this town

except for you, George.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Looking forward to hearing
your speech, by the way.

For the record, you´re right.

About what?

That Hannah should be worried.

I know ratbags,

and your brother...
No offense... is one.

Then why can´t she see that?

She can.

It´s part of the attraction.

Yeah.
I hate that.

´Cause you´re nothing
like your brother.

Just because I´m angry at Hannah
and you´re angry at your brother

doesn´t mean we´re anything.

Unless you´ve had
a change of heart.

Thought so.

[ Engine starts ]

[ Dryer humming ]

[ Dryer stops ]

Hi, Robbie.
Shay Turner here.

I have what you´re looking for.

So what´s this meeting about?

I know as much as you do, Jared,
which is nothing.

Are you saying I´m dumb?

No.
I mean about the meeting.

But if the shoe fits.

-How´s Emma?
-[ Whispering ] Cheetah.

Emma is nothing to do with you.

I liked her.
That´s all.

-I can ask how she is, can´t I?
-No, you can´t.

Right. Hello, everyone.
If I can have your attention.

Mr. McNamara and I have
some great news.

Hannah?

Whoa.
That´s brave.

Yeah, but she´s fallen for him
in a way that they all do.

No, no. I mean that´s brave
for Uncle Terry.

Hannah kind of scares me.

Why does Hannah scare you?

She just does.

Dad was just saying that she´s
hooked up with Uncle Terry.

Okay.
I can see that.

Yeah, except that he´s worried
about Hannah.

Has he met Hannah?

Don´t you remember the parade
of crying waitresses in Sydney?

Or the husband who came after me
because he thought I was Terry?

That was kind of funny.

Or the thing with the neighbors?

The one in the spa pool?

Or the one with the bucket bong?

Either.
Both.

Dad, Terry is just that guy.
You can´t change that.

And if he wants to hook up with
Hannah, then good luck to them.

It´s not like we´re the experts
on romance.

So not rocking that party.

What are you even doing here?

Aren´t you supposed to be
at the Boat Club about now?

Yeah.
About that.

Um, I kind of have
another job now.

Now, these are the lowest
of the low minimum-wage jobs.

Are we cool with that?

Hands up.
Who´s on board?

This employment will also count
as credit towards NCEA.

Does Fiona know this?

Yeah. Yeah.
I texted her just before.

George, you know
how a kitchen works.

We need extra bodies
to do the donkey work.

Not the body of my son.

Look. We had a labor shortage,
and we solved the problem.

Me and my boys will train
the food tech kids.

They get extra credit and earn
a little bit of pocket money.

That hot principal
seems to dig the idea.

In fact, everyone seems happy
about it except you.

Taste that.

Too much cumin.

Barbarian.

I don´t even know why I bother
to ask.

Because you know I´ve got
better taste buds than you.

I´m having enough problems
with Arlo as it is

without you adding to them.

So he ditches the dorky subjects
to do something that he loves,

and that´s a problem?

Just leave the parenting to me.
Thank you very much.

Working in a kitchen
used to be your dream, George.

What happened to you?

You happened to me.

This is about the taco truck,
isn´t it?

What?

No.

Actually, yes.

The one and only time
we went into business together

was when we were young...
A taco truck.

The Four Tacos
of the Apocalypse,

because each day we would offer
four different tacos...

Two of his choice
and two of mine.

You never understood what I was
trying to do with those tacos.

Your tacos never sold.
Mine did.

Well, I was ahead of the curve
when it came to sweetbreads.

While my food kept the truck
afloat,

Terry used it to chat up
the surfer girls

and then go to war
with the rival taco truck.

Oh, come on.
They were Italian.

What are Italians even doing
running a taco truck?

When you and I
are so authentically Mexican.

It was a turf war,
and you blinked.

They beat the crap out of you.

I saved your life
by shutting us down.

Thus setting the pattern
for all that was to follow.

-No, man. That´s not true.
-It is.

That´s why I don´t want Arlo
turning into you.

The me who´s got three pumping
restaurants, soon to be four?

No, the you who lives his life
without responsibility,

not caring who gets hurt.

Your son will not be harmed
in the making of this triumph.

Have a little faith.

Why should I?

Everything I asked you not to do
while you were here,

you´ve done the opposite.

But if you play silly buggers
with Arlo´s life...

that´s it.

Last straw.

You disappear from my world.

SHAY:
To the left.

Left.

No.
My left.

And people pay big bucks
for this, do they?

Denis is an exceptional talent.

Ah! My favorite niece...
And so early in the morning.

That´s interesting.

Local artist.
Big deal in Europe, apparently.

Go, Europe.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

I think you could do
a thousand times better.

Nope.
I´m pretty much the same.

I-I know we´re not anything, but
I just wanted to give you this

to apologize for my brother,

who is currently filleting you
of your workers.

Well, I do like wine.

But the truth is,
I could barely afford Hannah,

let alone Arlo,
so probably for the best.

No.
Take it.

You´re being far too gracious
about it all.

Tell me about it.

I´m even going
to the damn opening.

The food will be sensational.
Just get it while it´s hot.

You don´t think he´s gonna
stick around, do you?

Historically not
his favored option.

You´re worried he´s gonna leave
everyone in the caca.

Also a likelihood.

How old was Terry
when your dad died?

Fourteen.
Why?

I know fatherhood´s
a touchy subject,

but...you kind of act
like his dad.

Somebody had to.

And doing the right thing
is your thing, eh?

It´s a good quality in a person.

MONTY: See?
I told you he´d be in here.

No fun being the boring one,
is it, George?

No fun at all.

But being boring
is like your art form, Dad.

I wouldn´t say I was boring.

Boring people never do.

And even if they did,
no one would hear

´cause they´re all too busy
listening to Robbie or Terry.

You´re not impressed with
the newest McNamara venture?

While Robbie wows one and all
by merely bending over

and letting the sun´s rays
work their magic,

I´m back here with the rest
of the chopped liver.

Big Mac seems to be
lapping it up.

The Terrys and Robbies
of this world can do no wrong.

Haven´t you worked that out?

They remain the pride and joy

while you and I are forced
into the shadows

like the bitter killjoys
that everyone thinks we are.

The boring people.

I´m not a bitter killjoy
or boring.

It´s all right.
It skips a generation.

Shay and Arlo should be fine.

Glad you finally
clambered aboard, George.

Well done.

Gloria did a lot of the work.

-She always does.
-And do I get a "well done"?

Let me know if you want me
to write a follow-up story

about how you´re going bankrupt.

I´d rather you concentrated
on your speech.

Yeah.
About that.

The speech talking up
your brother, the town,

our hopes and dreams.

In other words, proving what
a party pooper you aren´t.

You´re our man of words.

And nobody tells it
quite like family, do they?

[ Buzzing ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Ollie.

It´s funny when we do it
to Sean.

Otherwise not so much.

So, do you want to go
to the opening?

I´m already going.
It´s my uncle´s restaurant.

Oh.
Right.

Well, I´ll see you there, then,
´cause I´m working there.

So it´s a date.

In the broadest sense
of the word.

Sweet.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

First-day nerves?

No, not really.

Uh, maybe.

Okay. Yeah.
Definitely.

You´ll be fine.
You´ll learn a lot from Terry.

Just don´t let him
or any of his crew

talk you into doing anything
you don´t want to do.

Like slicing onions all day.

That´s not what I meant.

You´re talking about them
like they´re moral degenerates.

They´re just kitchen people.

Yeah, Dad.

What´s the worst
that can happen?

Yeah.
It´s gonna be great.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

All right. Front of house,
be polite and circulate.

Kitchen peeps,
you all have your assignments,

and you´re working
with the finest.

So do exactly as they tell you
and you´ll be sweet.

So are we ready
to rock this party?

-Yep.
-Yeah.

Let´s do it.

Listen.

You guys are gonna smash this
thing right out of the park.

All right?

So are we ready
to rock this party?

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

That´s much better.

MAN: All right.
Let´s start prepping this salad.

What´s an amuse bush
when it´s at home?

Amuse-bouche, and it´s like
another name for hors d´oeuvre.

If you say so.

Is Emma coming?

-No, she isn´t.
-Why not?

I thought she´s the best thing
that ever happened to you.

Okay, Lindsay.
You got me.

The long-distance thing
didn´t work out,

so Emma and I aren´t together
anymore.

It´s over,
so just leave me alone.

When Terry was 4,
I watched him invent

a potato-chip-and-apricot-jam
sandwich.

The look on his face was one
of pure, unadulterated joy.

And I´ve seen that look
many times since,

always in the kitchen.

It´s how Terry feels
about what he does

and what, if we´re lucky...

he shares with us
on nights like this one.

SHAY: Haven´t you finished
that thing yet?

Wow.
Look at you.

You won´t be ashamed to have me
on your arm at such an occasion?

I would be proud
beyond all belief.

I just wish your mother was here
to see you.

Me too.

Now finish your damn speech.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Um, names?

Look under "Turner," nitwit.

Try smiling, Dad.

[ Up-tempo music playing ]

Who are these people?

[ Woman laughing ]

She won´t go back there, Dad.

She´s way too bright for that.

Thank you.

I need to speak to Tom.
You gonna be okay on your own?

Yeah. Go. Do what you need.
No need to worry about me.

TOM:
George!

[ Music continues ]

Hey.
You´re here.

-Of course.
-Made especially for you.

By Uncle Terry and his team
of willing slaves.

Willing slaves are the best sort
to have.

Stop chatting up pretty girls
and start circulating, mate.

Shay, your painting´s been
a bit of a hit.

Denis´ painting.

Yeah. Whatever.
People are asking about it.

[ Music continues ]

TERRY: How long on that caprese
e prosciutto?

MAN:
Plating up now. We need it here.

Hey, uh, it´s "con-fee,"
not "con-fit."

Your sister looks hot tonight.

Whatever.
Just go.

MAN:
Fire up that leg.

We´re running low
on paua wontons,

so should I start plating
the rouleaux?

Sorry. Chef.

You go for it, kid.

You´re a natural, Arlo.

You must be bummed about Emma.

Yeah. I´m here to work, Lindsay,
and so are you.

Daniel left me on the side
of the road in Bulls.

What?

Bulls.
It´s a town.

He said I was driving him mad,

made me get out of the car,
and then drove away.

So I know what it feels like,

and I was just trying to
tell you that it sucks

and I really am sorry.

MAN:
Come on, Billy.

Let´s get those fishes going,
mate.

It doesn´t say plus one?

No.
Just you, Ms. Dennis.

Yeah, and I´m nobody´s plus-one
either, mate.

Wow.
Get you, you sexy thing.

Not too bad for a small-town
surfie chick, eh?

You look sensational.

Thanks, George.

You know, he´s not so bad,
that brother of yours.

You should really cut him
some slack.

Now if you´ll excuse me,

I have been instructed to charm
the hell out of the room.

They´re rouleau
de fruits de mer.

Hey, um, how´s Arlo getting on
back there?

So into it.

I think the Sydney hipsters
want to adopt him.

Dad, you have to stop looking at
Arlo and seeing Terry.

George, can you help?

We´ve got this situation
outside.

Mate, I built half this joint.

-But you´re not on the list.
-[ Groans ]

I hurried the consents
through council,

possibly breaking a few laws.

-I should be on top of the list.
-But you´re not on the list.

BRENDA:
He got in!

He doesn´t even like
his brother!

And I provided the cheese!

What´s going on, Jared?

Uncle Robbie said
that I can´t let anyone in

who´s not on the list,
and they´re not on the list.

-Aw!
-Goodness´ sake.

Not even a plus-one.
How low is that?

Terry said I should come.

Did Terry talk to you at all
about the invite list?

-No. Just Uncle Robbie.
-Typical.

I´m sorry, but my brother
is not very good

when it comes to details
like who gets invited.

Just wait here and I´ll see
if I can sort something out.

Flag that.
We should rush the door.

Please.

This is worth
three NCEA credits.

Aw, forget it.

I don´t go where I´m not wanted.

All these flash city people
would be eating beans on toast

if I hadn´t caught
the kai moana.

You tell your brother
the price has just doubled.

Yeah. Too right.

Who wants real traditional
Weld food...

Fish and chips on the beach?

Yeah.
All right.

Sheep cheese is for poseurs
anyway.

Yeah. Come on, babe.

You can be my plus-one.

But I was looking forward
to the yummy food.

-Sorry about this.
-Don´t be.

This is exactly the sort of crap
my brother brings with him.

Names?

[ Music continues ]

Half the locals
who made this place possible

have been turned away
at the door.

So?
They weren´t on the list, mate.

But this place doesn´t exist
without them, their work.

Take a look around you, George.
Tonight isn´t about them.

Tonight´s about getting
the bills paid.

So if a few locals have got
their noses out of joint,

too bad.

I´ll sort them out later
with a cheap meal...

If they can get a booking.

Oh, and another thing...

That speech you were gonna make
won´t be necessary.

But your father asked me.

Yeah, but I think
it´s more appropriate he speaks,

seeing as he´s paying
for the whole thing

and you think this place
is gonna fail.

[ Mid-tempo music playing ]

Poaka rillettes.

My Uncle Terry may be a mess
in many ways,

but when it comes to food...

I need you to do me a favor.
Stay here.

If they keep bringing me food,
not a problem.

-Where are you going?
-Anywhere that isn´t here.

I need you to keep an eye
on Arlo.

You mean make sure
he´s not doing tequila shots

with the kitchen crew?

-Well...
-Sure. No probs.

What happened to your speech?

Lost in translation.

Well, at least you still
wrote it and thought it,

even though you didn´t
get to say it.

Thanks.

I´ll be back later.

-Just a few words. That´s all.
-No. I hate that kind of thing.

I thought George had it covered.

Yeah. George decided
he didn´t want to speak.

George, are you off?

Word is there´s fish and chips
on the beach.

Can I come too?

Isn´t it your family duty
to stay here?

Probably.

But I should´ve told Robbie what
he can do with his family duty

when he told me
I couldn´t bring Siouxsie

´cause she scares people.

FIONA:
Enjoying yourself?

Uh, the food is awesome.

It´s nice to get dressed up.

Not entirely sure
about the clientele.

Yeah.
That pretty much covers it.

What happened to your dad?

He left.

Is he okay?

I don´t know, Fiona.
You tell me.

What happened with you two?

Um, why?
What has he said?

That you´ve stepped back,
backed off,

or whatever it is you say
when you´re breaking up

even though you two were totally
into each other.

Um, it´s complicated.
[ Clears throat ]

Because of Jan and the babies?
They might not even be his.

It´s still complicated.

But it is about babies...
Just not Jan´s babies.

Other potential future babies...
Or not.

Oh.

BILL JR.:
[ Laughs ] There she is.

Where´s Katie?

Uh, no idea.

It doesn´t matter.
You´ll do.

Rae here is interested
in Denis´ latest masterpiece.

This one?

I already have a couple.

They´re great investment pieces,

and I think this may be
his best one yet.

I´m not sure
this one´s for sale.

[ Laughs ]
Well, pull the other one.

Denis would sell ice blocks
to Eskimos if he could.

Of course it´s for sale.

It´s unsigned.

-Which is why we can´t sell it.
-BILL JR.: No, no, no.

We´ll get Katie
to get Denis to provide

a letter of authentication.

He can sign it
next time he´s home.

I-I don´t think he´s ever
coming home, actually.

Nonsense. I was talking to him
the other day.

-He can´t wait to get back.
-Oh, you talk to him, do you?

All the time.

Hey, I´ll tell you what.

Katie will knock off a few thou
for the inconvenience.

I´m not sure we can make
those sort of promises...

Trust me.
She can do with a sale.

[ Chuckles ]

Now, a piece like this, Rae,
is worth 30 thou easy.

But for you today... 25,000.

It´s a one-time-only offer.
Take it or leave it.

I´ll take it.

I´d be a fool not to.

-BILL JR.: Sold.
-[ Glasses clink ]

Katie´s gonna be rapt.
[ Chuckles ]

[ Music continues ]

[ Laughter ]

Crab and caviar sabayon
is all very nice,

but you can´t beat a good,
honest potato, can you, George?

-Too right.
-Yeah.

SIOUXSIE:
What if, mysteriously,

the next batch of seafood
Zac delivers

is somehow infected with a toxin

that makes everyone
projectile vomit?

[ Laughter ]

No.
My stuff´s fresh as.

Give me two hours
on the Internet.

I´ll find exactly what we need.

Hang on.
Why would we want to do that?

-Revenge for being excluded.
-WOODY: Right.

That would make George´s brother
look bad,

and it wasn´t really his fault.

MONTY: Plus everyone booking
at the restaurant

are bringing in
many rental dollars.

I took more in the store today
than I have in the last month.

If Weld gets discovered, think
of all the building permits.

Think of all the buildings.

-School roll might go up.
-Yep.

You could start a fleet
of taxi buggies, Ike.

-Yeah.
-Okay, okay.

It was just a suggestion.

[ Laughter ]

They´re a forgiving bunch,
aren´t they?

They´re realists.

There are bigger things in life

than not being invited
to a party.

[ Laughter continues ]

Come on.
Meet your adoring public.

Ugh.
Do I have to?

HANNAH:
Ha! Shut up.

You know you love it.
Come on.

[ Mid-tempo music playing ]

Thank you very much.
Thank you for coming.

FIONA:
You really like this guy, eh?

Yeah.

He´s totally awesome
in every way, actually.

Good for you.

If you tell anyone I said that,
I will deny it.

Fancy a roadie?

Oh. Actually,
I´m gonna call it a night.

Well, I´m all yours
if you want a lift.

Thanks, Robbie.
I´m good.

How do you put up with him?

Could´ve gone away
when he came back, I suppose.

Should have gone away.

But you didn´t.

This is where I live.
Me and my girl.

I can´t imagine living
anywhere else.

We´ve been trying to figure out
how much it would cost

to eat at your brothers´
restaurant...

The restaurant
of both of your brothers.

Humongous amounts.

$50 a main?

[ Chuckles ]

-Seriously?
-Mm.

If you´re looking at
what it costs,

you shouldn´t be eating there.

It´s not really very Weld,
is it,

the whole fine-dining thing?

I guess it isn´t.

Not that it matters,
´cause you´ll never eat there.

I might, on a flash night out
if I saved up.

No, I mean it´s booked up
for the next six months.

What happened to it popping up
for three months?

I´ve heard Robbie on the phone

taking deposits for tables
way after that.

You´re thinking your brother
will be gone by then,

-aren´t you?
-I´ve given up warning people

about Terry´s ability
to cut and run.

And add Robbie to the mix.
What could possibly go wrong?

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

KATIE: At least then Weld will
go back to being Weld again.

-I wish it was that easy.
-Isn´t it?

Well, not if he leaves Hannah
a mess

or Big Mac loses all his money
or Arlo joins the Terry circus.

Arlo´s one thing, but the others
can look after themselves.

They´re not your problem.

I wish.

But when it comes to Terry
and me,

it doesn´t really work that way.

GEORGE:
As a grown-up,

you take your responsibilities
seriously.

That´s what being an adult
is all about.

So I´ve always thought of my
brother as my responsibility,

that it was my job to clean up
whatever mess he left behind.

♫ ´Round we go again ♫

♫ It´s never gonna change ♫

♫ ´Round we go again ♫

You should have seen him.

He knew what to do,
and everyone did as he said.

Your brother´s the man.

-Shots?
-Oh, no. Thank you.

We actually have school
in the morning.

Right, Lindsay?

Yeah.
I´m good, thanks.

Hey there.

Did you need someone
to walk you home?

Asking me yourself

instead of getting your creepy
little flying friend to do it?

Progress, Ollie.

So, tick yes?

Tick yes.

GEORGE: A long time ago,
for various reasons,

I decided my brother
was my responsibility.

So when he turned up
here in Weld,

I worried about the chaos
he would leave behind.

Now I worry about the damage
he´ll do while he´s still here.

Hey, Mum, did you know
that if you eat the worm

at the bottom
of the tequila bottle,

you see naked ladies?

What on earth?

You okay?

Yes.
Yes.

I-I just... I didn´t remember
Denis´ latest work being so...

Is Shay still here?

Uh, no.
She walked home with Ollie.

-Arlo in the kitchen?
-Yeah.

We´ll get going.
See ya, George.

See ya.

George.

Still pouring your cold water

when all around you are the
signs of unparalleled success?

-[ Chuckles ]
-Not that I´m aware of, Big Mac.

ROBBIE: Come on, Dad.
It´s time to get you home.

Okay.
Rae?

[ Mid-tempo music playing ]

Hey, Dad.

Where´s your uncle?

Uh, out the back.

Okay.
Wait in the car, Arlo.

You too, Lindsay,
if you want a ride.

So...is he cool with this?

No.
Definitely not cool.

[ Music continues ]

-It´s us again tomorrow! Whoo!
-Cheers.

[ Laughter ]

Well, here he is,
my sensible big brother.

Come back to tell me off again

even though we smashed it
out of the park, didn´t we?

-Whoo-hoo-hoo!
-Yes! [ Laughs ]

I´m just here
to take my son home.

He´s a star, George.

He´s the new me...

Or you if you weren´t
such a pussy.

Good to know.

And I hope you´re happy now that
you´ve got everyone´s hopes up

before you abandon them.

Terry.

You couldn´t even be arsed

to say a few nice words
about your little brother, huh?

Yeah.

You´re a real triumph, Terry.

Take care.

[ Music continues ]

GEORGE: This week,
I had to write a speech

that I ended up not giving.

It was about my brother, who,
when he was just a little kid,

I saw teetering
at the top of a staircase

and, my heart in my mouth,

I ran over and pulled him back
before he fell.

He just laughed, headed
straight back to the stairs,

and threw himself down them...
To see what it was like.

And that, over and over again,

is the story of my brother
and I.
