[upbeat music playing]

[singer vocalizing]

[Nathan]What makes us the way we are?

Nature? Nurture? Bit of both?

Though if that's the case,

you'd think
me and my family'd

have more in common
than a surname.

-Oh they've come.
-What have?

Invites to dad's 50th.

Snazzy, huh?

Ah, no my parents
aren't going.

-Why not?
-They won't want to.

-Nathan.
-No I'm serious.

Let's face it.
Your parents and mine,

they're from
different planets.

Oh come on it's just a party.

"To Julie and Des Rafter."

Des. They can't even remember
my dad's name.

Trust me they,
they won't want to go.

What?

After everything
they have done for us,

you are embarrassed by them.

I'm not...I'm not embarrassed.

I'm just trying
to protect them.

Your parents, they just...
They want different things

to my mom and dad, okay?

In fact, so did I.
I mean, I love my parents.

Of course I do.

But somehow we were
always headed

in different directions.

-Disneyland?
-Yeah.

[Nathan] For me there
was a world out there

way bigger than our backyard.

Oh, mate I've already booked
a caravan down in Narooma.

Way better than Disneyland.

Come on,
let's get cracking eh?

Concentrate.
Don't try and hit it too hard.

Don't want to split the wood.
All right, away you go.

[Nathan] Never was good
with my hands either.

Another point of difference.

[dramatic music playing]

[singer] ♪ Hey, hey... ♪

No that's all right mate.
I'll, um...

[Nathan] Is it possible
to change the personality

you were born with?

I don't know.

I always felt like a stranger
looking in from the outside.

[singer] ♪...but I'm feeling
Little uncomfortable ♪

[Nathan] Mom and dad
finally said go for it.

Try your hardest.
Get in to your private school

and we'll chip in
for the other half

of your scholarship.

Took me an hour
and a half both ways.

[singer] ♪ Do your best
Got a second...♪

[Nathan]First on the bus. Last off.

I wanted it that bad.

Probably was,
it didn't come naturally.

Never has. I'm not like Ben.

The slacker barely scraped
through school.

But I'm not
like Rachel either.

She blitzed her exams,
barely worked for it.

My final year
was a nightmare.

Got to get some rest.

There's no point
studying so hard

you nod off during the exam.

Just 10 more minutes
please, Mom.

Literally I, I used
to wake up sweating,

heart racing.
But I knew acing the tests

was my only ticket out,

my ticket to where
I wanted to be.

So I might be back here

but I'm still determined
to make something of myself.

There's nothing wrong
with that.

-Hey.
-Hey.

It's late.

You should come to bed.

Right now in fact.

-That's an order.
-I haven't finished yet.

I have to have this proposal
done by tomorrow.

So get up early and finish it.

It has to be done now, Sam.
I'm sorry.

Okay. Fine.

[singer] ♪ I don't mean
To burst your bubble ♪

♪ But we need you here ♪

[Nathan] Dad always says

you've got to get
your priorities right.

Family comes first.

But he's middle aged
and still slogging

his guts out
to pay the mortgage.

I don't want that life.

[singer] ♪ Stay awake... ♪

[Nathan] Mind you,
if I'd listened to him,

I might have saved myself
a whole lot of trouble.

Especially
from my evil sister.

-Oh gosh.
-Oh I'm so...

so sorry. I wasn't looking.
Sorry.

You're Nathan's sister, right?

-Rochelle?
-Ah, Rachel.

Right, Rachel. Oliver.

Nathan's best man
at the wedding.

Oh, right yeah
the infamous Oliver.

Yeah, Nathan's best man
that we'd only met four times.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

You're a household name.

Really?

Ah, so I didn't know
you were a photographer.

I thought you were
doing something

with financial planning.

Yeah well always like to keep
a couple of irons in the fire.

You know how it is.

Hey we should
catch up sometime.

I'll buy you a drink.

[Rachel]
Ugh, he was just so slimy.

I'm surprised he didn't do
the Fonz thumbs up

-before he left.
-Oh.

Um, not to burst
your bubble here, Rach,

but do you know how many women
throw themselves at Oliver?

He was probably
just being polite.

Oh, what so now
I'm just a charity case?

Not my words.

[Rachel] He woke up
this morning thinking hmm

shall I sponsor a starving
child in Africa today?

No, no, no I'll just ask

Nathan's sister
out on a date'.

Rach, I'm not sure
how to put this

but Oliver's last girlfriend

was onSearch For A Supermodel.

[Julie] Oi excuse me,
it's your gene pool too.

If you're having a go
at your sister--

No I am not having a go,
I am just stating the facts.

He is out of your league.

A bit of family loyalty

wouldn't go astray there,
mate.

[Nathan]Okay so maybe I was a bit,

a bit over the top,
but she's my sister.

It's my duty as a brother
to give her heaps.

Rachel was paying out Oliver.

I was just giving it back.

All my... Can I just jump in?

All my life I've been made
to feel guilty about

wanting something different,
about not being

100% Team Rafter.

I'm not saying that
what I want's necessarily

better than the way mom
and dad live.

Okay, sometimes I do.
I don't know.

Maybe I've just got
to suck it up.

Accept that my family are
never going to get who I am.

And that's just the way
that family are sometimes.

You're not always
going to see eye to eye.

You can't choose them.

Look at my mom and dad.

Trust me, I do.

And I wish I didn't have to.

We're never
going to change them.

Either of us.

[upbeat music playing]

[doorbell ringing]

[Sammy] Oh, I'll get it.

Mom!

What are you doing here?

And then we added this bit on
about oh ten years ago.

Well, with three teenage kids
we needed the extra room

and there was no way
I was going to pack up

and move again.
Mind you I have to say

renovating did have
its moments.

Oh, it looks lovely.
Tony and I started off

in a tiny place like this.
It's very cozy.

Mom, don't start.

I'm not starting anything.
I mean it. In fact

it's a palace compared
to what your father

and I started out in.

Okay, well, um,
make yourself at home.

I've just got
to get ready for work so--

[Rachel] Yeah, same.

So...

what are you doing here?

Well, that's a lovely way
to speak to your mother

who drove 45 minutes
and paid God knows

how much in road tolls
just to see you.

Well, now you can see why
Nathan and I are doing this.

Starting out small
like you and dad.

Hm. But what
I don't understand is

why you're making it
so hard for yourself.

There's nothing wrong
with accepting a little help.

Well, not when
it's coming from dad.

He gives us money
and then suddenly

it's not a gift anymore,
it's a contract.

Well, yeah it's all part
of being a Westaway.

But he does miss you.

Well I'm coming to his party.
That's progress, isn't it?

It'd be even more progress

if you said you'd give me
a hand with the planning.

Oh please darling,
you know your father, suddenly

it's not a party he wants,
it's a festival.

No strings attached.
Please, darling?

It's his fiftieth and I could
really do with the help.

Beamer outside--

Oh yeah, your mother-in-law's
dropped in.

Here? Why? What about?

I don't know. She needed
to see Sammy about something.

Right. Cool, um,
how's everything going?

Did she have a tea
or did she have a coffee?

No darling, we're planning
to dehydrate her.

[Nathan] Good, good.
Ben's not here is he?

Oh, would you calm down?
She's not the queen.

No, she is not.

Um, okay well you stay here

cause I'll take care
of everything.

Trish. It's lovely to see you.
What a surprise.

Oh, Nathan.
How lovely to see you too.

And, ah, what brings
you out here?

Bit early for a social call.

Oh, it's never too
early for party planning.

Mm. Well if you need someone
to get tough

then Sammy's your girl.
She absolutely eats caterers.

Well you've no idea the war
that's already been waged

over finger food.

Come on darling, it'll be fun.

And a good excuse for us
to spend some time together.

-Mm. Okay.
-Okay.

[Sammy] But if I'm in charge,

then I am in charge.

Fabulous. I'll leave
everything up to you.

You can find me in the bar
if you need me.

[Sammy] So I will stop by
after work mom

and we can sort out
some of the details.

[Trish] I look forward to it,
sweetheart.

Yeah it's going to be great.

And you are looking amazing,
Trish

so that's for dropping by.

-Julie, nice to see you again.
-Oh, you too.

Now, I haven't got your RSVP
yet but I assume that you

-and Des are both coming?
-It's Dave, Mom.

Dave. Yes of course.
I don't know why

-I keep getting confused.
-Sorry, coming to what?

-Our party.
-What party?

Two saddest words
in the English language.

[Trish] Tony's 50th.
I mean you must have got

the invitations by now.
I sent them days ago.

[dramatic music playing]

You would've said yes
just to be polite

and then you would've gone
and you would've had

a really bad time.

So it was entirely selfless.

You were just thinking
about us.

Mom, you know what Trish
and Tony are like.

All their friends
are the same.

I thought I was doing you
a favor.

Oh you got my vote
for Son of the Year.

Aren't you supposed
to be at work, Rachel?

Mom, if you want to come,
then come to the party

because it makes
no difference to me.

Well good because we're going.

And don't worry darling we'll
try not to embarrass you.

Mom, I'm not em...

[sighs] What?

You just don't get it do you?

I thought I did.

How many chances do you reckon
your mom gets to frock up

and let her hair down?

Not many.

It was her invite, her choice.

It wasn't yours to make.

Why don't you call
the mothership,

let them know
they can have you back.

Good on you, mate.

So, this is the part
where the sister from hell

plots her revenge.

She knew exactly
how to get me.

[Julie] Oh I'm not going
to say anything about horses

-and getting back on them.
-You just did.

But, um, I'm,
I'm just really glad

you're putting yourself
back out there.

Okay mom before we
book out the church,

can we just pick
the earrings please.

Oh very important.

Okay, definitely those ones.

-Thank you.
-Oh, very funny.

Have you got
another work function?

Sorry, I'm surprised
they make any profit at all.

Your sister's going on a date
for your information.

[car horn honking]

Oh, that's probably him now.

Hey, brother
from another planet.

-[Nathan] What?
-Can you get that please?

Sure.

-[dramatic music playing]
-[car door shuts]

[Oliver] Geez mate,

lucky I've got Sat Nav.

Never realized
you lived this far out.

Would've brought my passport
had I known.

[Rachel] Oliver, hey.

Got here okay?

Well come inside
and see the family.

They're dying to say hello.

[Nathan] She did it.
Rachel got me.

But it doesn't end there.

Oh no.

[Julie] Oh come in. Come in.

It's great to finally
have you out here.

We, I mean we told Nathan
to ask you over all the time

when you were at school
but you always,

you know, always had something

on rugby or water polo or--

[Oliver] I like to keep myself
busy.

So how long have you guys
lived out here?

[Julie]
Oh since Nathan was a baby.

Ooh.

I was about to get a beer.
Would you like one?

[Oliver] Yeah
that'll be great. Thanks Dave.

How's
the engineering business?

-Ah--
-Engineering?

[Oliver] Well that's your
line of work, isn't it?

No, I'm an electrician.

[Oliver] Right sorry.

I must've got that confused
with someone else.

Would you like
a glass with that?

[Oliver] No, I'm good thanks.

Yeah are you guys
heading into town for dinner?

[Rachel] Oh no I thought
we'd just eat somewhere local.

[Julie] Well you could
always stay here.

I mean now that we finally
have you out here,

it'd be lovely to get
to know you a bit better.

Yeah that'd be lovely,
mom, thanks.

-Wouldn't it Ollie?
-Absolutely.

Been ages since I've had
a home cooked meal.

[Nathan] And it just got
better because...

we were having
the suburban special.

Meat and three veg.

[Rachel] So what happened
to the financial planning?

[Oliver] Yeah look it
really wasn't for me.

Lots of moms and dads
wanting to pay off

their mortgages quickly.

Put everything into super.

I kept thinking, take a chance

for once in your lives.

Well I guess
if you chucked it in

that quickly
you're not exactly

the poster boy
for the industry...

For financial planning.

I would've thought
the one main rule

would be to stay employed.

[Nathan] Well there's no point
staying employed

in a job that's going nowhere,
is there?

So it's photography now is it?

I mean how, how long
have you been doing that for?

Oh, on and off
for a few years.

Got a few things
going at the moment.

There's a shock.

-Like what?
-Oh, how's the house?

He's got a place in the city,

he's doing it up
as an investment.

Have you got the plans
back from the architect?

Yeah, but I thought I'd talk
to the guy that did the reno

-on the McMasters place.
-[Nathan] Oh, yeah.

Want something ah,
you know creative.

Well you wouldn't
want to overcapitalize

on this place especially
if it's an investment.

Oh, dad he knows.

Hey. Ollie,
what are you doing here?

Oliver and Rachel
are on a date.

No really.

Oh no it's true.

I thought he'd like
to meet the family.

[dramatic music playing]

I'm really sorry about Rachel.
She just doesn't know

how to keep her opinion
to herself.

Yeah, she likes the sound
of her own voice, doesn't she?

-Yep, yep.
-Anyway, how's your form?

-What?
-Well all those times

you said your parents
were away skiing in Europe,

and that's why you had
to stay at my place.

Yeah.

Mate, it's, it's cool.
Don't worry about it.

I would've made up an excuse
too if I lived out here.

I hate to break it to you

but it's not exactly
the third world.

Mate, I'm not having a go.
I just,

you know,
Sammy's parents are loaded.

Why aren't you living
with them?

Are you leaving?

Yeah got the trainer at 7:00.

So, um, won't be home
before midnight.

Oh, it's only 30, 40 minutes
at this time at night.

Yeah, whatever.
I've still got to go.

-It was nice to see you, Sam.
-You too.

See you at the big five-oh.

[car alarm beeps]

What is going on tonight?

Homicide.

I am going to kill my sister.

How would you like someone
to do that to you, Rach? What?

Invite me over
to their place for dinner?

Ask you out on a date and then
play games, take the piss

-the whole night.
-Like he noticed.

Anyway, I have a feeling
his ego will survive.

Guys, come on.

No, what is it
that you see in him?

I mean, seriously
the guy is 22-years-old

and he's already had
17 different career changes.

So he hasn't figured
out what he wants to do.

-That's not a big deal.
-[Rachel] It is

when he comes in here
and looks down on all of us.

[Nathan] It was you
that invited him here!

[Rachel] Nathan,

you are 500 times
the person that he is.

Now right now I'm not sure
that that's saying very much.

But he's a wanker.

The guy has never worked hard

for anything in his life

and he's just happy
to let daddy come

and bail him out every time
anything goes wrong.

Why does that make him
some kind of superhero to you?

Just because he wants
something different to you--

Nathan, he's a wanker.
Wake up.

[dramatic music playing]

[knocks on door]

What is it about this family
that's so embarrassing to you?

I'm not...I'm not embarrassed.

Is that...is that
why it took so long for you

to invite Oliver around here?

Why you decided to hide
the party invitations from us?

-Well it's just...
-We are good people.

And there is no reason that
you should ever feel ashamed

of this family.

Especially your dad.

Do you...do you have any idea
how proud we were of you

when you won that scholarship?

I think I called everyone
I'd ever met in my entire life

just so I could tell them.

So please don't tell me
you've become the sort of man

that judges other people
by the car they drive.

You've... You need to take

a good look at your values,
Nathan.

[Nathan] Dad, um,

all that stuff I said
about engineering,

I was just being an idiot.

I was 16,
I was talking myself up.

I didn't mean anything by it.

I know you'll never probably
understand this, Nathan,

but what I have here is
more than I'd ever hoped for.

[dramatic music playing]

[Julie]
Well you know the thing is

I'm not even sure
that I do want to go.

Yeah, I know
but it's the principle

-of the thing, isn't it?
-Exactly.

Having said that, they're all
going to be dressed

to the nines
and I've got nothing to wear.

Yeah, nudity can sometimes
backfire I find.

Nudity? Now you're talking
my language, girls.

And what language
might that be?

Oh, you know just...
making a comment.

Yeah, well don't let it keep
you from those spec reports.

I take it you're
writing them in English.

Now Jules this afternoon
if you don't mind.

Okay. You still here mate?

I mean you should've seen
Sammy's mom.

It's seven o'clock
in the morning right

and she's wearing an outfit
that'd pay a month's mortgage.

Yeah, but Jules, looking good
has got nothing to do

with how much money you spend.

I mean look at me.

[scoffs] As if.

Okay.
Here's what's going to happen.

I'm going to come around
to your place this afternoon.

We're going to go through
every item in your wardrobe.

Oh, I threw out all
my Versace gowns last week.

You're going to be the most
glamorous woman at this party.

Julie? Glamorous? [scoffs]

Should I just cut them off?

No someone's beaten us to it.

Ooh, the 80s.

-And they were a great decade.
-Hmm?

-For Joan Collins.
-Oh.

Yes well Rachel used to wear
that for dress ups.

Ah, yes probably not
the look we're going for.

-Nope.
-Jules,

how about one of mine?

Hmm? Too slutty?

-Oh, no, no, no.
-Not slutty enough?

No, it's enough.

Okay, okay.

-Yes.
-Yes?

Yes.
It's classy, it's elegant,

you spill champagne on it
and no one's going to notice.

-Not too casual?
-No not at all.

You put some nice jewelry
and some and, and shoes,

it'll look...
I've got a necklace

in my car
that would be perfect.

Oh.

-Oh, hey Nath. Look.
-Yeah.

What do you think?

[Nathan] Nice. Yep.

Are you and dad
going out for some dinner?

No I was, um,
actually thinking

of wearing it to...

Trish and Tony's party.

Oh.

Not anymore.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no,

it's just the party's
a really big deal, that's all.

-Yes.
-[Nathan] Don't get me wrong,

you'll look beautiful.

Ah...

which,
why don't you treat yourself.

Why don't you get
something new,

something really glamorous.

[dramatic music playing]

[door shuts]

[Ben] Mom, have you got
any spaghetti?

I forgot to buy spaghetti.

-What's wrong?
-Nothing.

-I'm fine.
-Yeah right.

Haven't seen you like this
since I scratched

your Best Of Blondie record.

Don't worry about
what Nathan said.

This dress is beautiful.

Nathan? What'd he say?

You know what?
It doesn't matter, okay?

What'd Nathan say?

After everything's mom's done
for you

and you still treat her
like crap.

-Ben, some privacy!
-You made fun

-of what she was wearing.
-No I didn't, now get out.

So why's she out there
attacking dishes?

All I said was that she might
want to buy a new dress

for Tony Westaway's 50th
to spoil herself.

Totally out of the goodness
of your heart, right?

Nothing to do
with your stuck up in laws.

Mom's always gone
out of her way for you.

You could murder someone

and she'd still be
on your side.

Are you finished?

You want to be a wanker to me,
that's fine.

But don't you dare
treat mom like that.

Pull your head in, Nathan.

Shut the door.

Would anyone else in Australia
like to have a go at me?

[Ben] Mom was really upset,

and now she doesn't
have anything to wear.

Can't she borrow
a dress from someone?

No one we know's really fancy
enough for the Westaways.

Hey can't she hire dresses?
You know,

from one of those
dress hire companies?

Yeah if you want to be
a vision in faux satin.

Oh, subtle, Ben.

What?

I've got it. My mom.

She's got all these dresses
upstairs.

Covered in plastic.
One's with you know feathers

and sparkling bits,
and look like mermaids.

Classics, all of them.

They're from when mom
was really skinny.

They're just hanging there.

Let's go get them!

We had someone come in
to emergency once

because they'd worn clothes
that'd been in plastic.

Serious?

Germs everywhere.

What we need to do is think
outside the box, you know.

Find a different way
through the maze.

Get a clear objective.

What? I read it.

In your Mr. Men books?

I read other stuff.

[scoffs]

[Rachel] You know for once
you might actually be right.

That's right. I'm the stylist.

Well the shoot's tomorrow
so I'd need to pick

the clothes up by the end
of the day.

Well it's for Marie Claire,
so it'd be great coverage.

Yes of course I can hold.

-Do I want to know?
-No, you don't.

Rachel, have you seen Mom?

-Dad, have you seen Mom?
-Hey you missed her already.

-She started work early.
-Right.

-Ah, is she all right?
-Yeah.

Why wouldn't she be?

Oh, are you going
to do that all morning?

[device beeping]

Warney, it is really annoying!

Yeah. Get it all off, baby.

Warney!

Bit touchy today, Jules.

That time of the month?

I thought you might
like some morning tea.

Oh, thanks.

That guy's a tool.

Yeah well there's one
in every office.

You shouldn't have
to put up with that, Mom.

Trust me when our lotto
numbers come up

I'll tell him where
to shove his phone.

[Nathan] I learned
a lot at private school.

Public speaking.

School spirit.

How to be a bully.

...Ron Barrett's...

-Whoa!
-Warney, isn't it?

-That's me.
-Yeah.

I heard you were the sparkie
on the maintenance contract

for Cronin Brown's
rental department.

Those people are worth
a bit of cash

to the ah, to the company.

Yeah. So what if it is?

I'm just saying that
if that contract

happened to go to somebody
else,

another real estate agent,

Ron Barrett
wouldn't be too happy.

And let's face it,
he only cares

about the bottom line.

Yeah but it's no
reason why it would so--

No, well they're
friends of mine.

I went through
the Real Estate Institute

with the owner's son.

So if I happened to have
the right word

to the right person then...

maybe that job wouldn't be
so iron clad.

And with all
the recent job cuts,

I reckon you
would be the next to go.

Is this a threat?

What are you, stupid?

Of course it is.

If you don't start
treating my mother

with the kind of respect
she deserves,

I guarantee I'm going
to follow through on it.

Yeah, it looks like all
the cash Mom and Dad

laid out for that school
was worth it after all.

All right I need
you guys to go and put them

either side of the pillars
out the back.

If you could that'd be great.
And they're into the marquee.

-Thanks a lot.
-[Trish] Oh darling,

there's no way I'd be so calm
if you weren't here.

-Are we having a party?
-Guess it looks like it.

-Hey Dave, how's it going?
-Yeah, all done.

Any more lights and your back
garden'll look like Luna Park.

I really appreciate this mate.

Oh, I was doing the lights
as a favor.

Whoa, must be some mistake.

Don't expect you
to work for nothing.

Well you're family now.
I wouldn't charge you

and even if I was,
I wouldn't be

talking this many zeroes.

Look, you've got a daughter.

I'm sure if you were
in my situation,

you'd want to make sure
she's being looked after.

I... You want me
to give this money to Sammy?

She's not going to take it,
not from me.

On the other hand if you
and Julie wanted to help out

Nathan with a bit of a loan...

Oh, look, ah,

look I don't want to get
involved.

You know,
what the kids are like.

They want to be independent.

But I'll give you the lights
as a birthday present.

I mean what else
am I going to give the man

who's got everything?

See you tomorrow.

What did Dad say to you?

Oh, just a bit, bit
of a misunderstanding is all.

Well what was in the envelope?

He just thought I expected
to be paid,

you know, for the work.

Of course he did.
How many zeroes?

[dramatic music playing]

-Hey.
-Hey.

How do you reckon Nathan's
going to cope with this?

[laughs]

Oh.

Come on.
It's a little bit funny.

-Come on.
-Don't.

I'm just kidding.

Are you sure this
is going to be all right?

No, you could wear a
potato sack

and be the hottest woman
there.

Oh, you have to say that.
It's in the marriage contract.

[Ben] Hey are you guys decent
in there?

No, but we've got
our clothes on.

[laughs] I'm hot.

-I'm so hot.
-You're so...

-[Rachel] For you madame.
-What's this?

[Rachel] Nothing
to worry about, Cinderella.

It's a dress. Put it on.

Show us what you look like.

Ooh.

Oh, guys come on.
We're going to be late

if we don't get a hurry on.
It's--

[whistles]

[Rachel] Oh, wow.

That is the most
beautiful dress.

-Oh.
-Mom, you look amazing.

[Ben] Seriously hot.

So what do you think?

Wow.

I honestly don't know
how you two did it.

[Ben] Oh, mommy, you're hot.

-Thank you so much.
-[Ben] Good.

You made my day.

-Thank you.
-You look beautiful.

[Trish] I'm sorry but you're
going to have to leave.

-Sorry?
-Where on the invitation

did it say "must outshine
the hostess"?

Oh.

It's nice to have
an excuse to dress up.

The place looks amazing.

Well you only turn 50 once.

Or in my case, never.

I plan on staying 39

for the rest of my life.

Your father's looking for you.

Check book in hand no doubt.

Oh. Do you ever feel
like you're the referee

in a major fight?

Oh, only every other day.

Oh look, there's Des.

-I thought it was Dave.
-[Julie] It is.

[Trish] Oh.

Proves what they say,
doesn't it?

Money can't buy taste.

I mean, the guy's
got cash to burn.

He could've done something
so much better.

-Mr. Westaway. Oliver.
-Oliver.

Thanks for the invitation.

I was just saying to Nathan
I wouldn't mind

picking your brains
at some point.

-Really.
-[Oliver] Thinking of make,

making a small move
into ah property.

You know, starting small
but I'd really appreciate

your advice.

Well we might not get
a chance tonight

but, ah, maybe sometime
next week.

Sounds great, sir.
I'd like that.

I'm sure you would.

Apartments now, eh?

Thought you were renovating
your house.

See, this has always
been your problem, mate.

You've got this narrow
little view.

I'm not having a go,
you can't help it.

You grew up with that mindset.

Like your old man.

He's just happy to plug away
every day.

Go to work, earn the money,
come home.

But you're better than that.

Got to think bigger.

Take a chance otherwise
you're gonna be stuck

in that hole forever.

[upbeat music playing]

[jazz music playing

-Hey.
-Hi.

Um, have you ever thought
that maybe Oliver

is a bit of a wanker?

[laughs] Yes, of course.

That's just who he is...
Oliver.

And that's why
we put up with him.

Excuse me,
was this a revelation

more than just a statement?

For me apparently yeah it was.

Hi you two. You haven't seen
Dave anywhere have you?

No, but I have been
meaning to tell you

how many people have asked me
where you got that dress.

[Julie] Ah. Yes well I think
I'm starting to think

I've missed
my calling in life.

Is it too late to become
a fashion icon? Aah!

[Nathan] Oh, my God, mom.

[Sammy] Mom, help her.

Are you okay?

[Nathan] Mom, are you okay?

[Trish] Fine, it's fine.
It's fine.

She's going to be
absolutely fine. Come on.

-I've only had one champagne.
-[Trish] That's fine.

-I'm fine, I'm fine.
-She's fine.

Just right now
I just want to kill myself.

-Just smile, laugh.
-[laughs]

-You're fabulous.
-How am I doing?

[laughs]

[Trish] Oh, now

don't you worry for one moment
about that lovely dress.

I have a specialist
dry cleaner

-who'll work wonders.
-Thanks.

I'll get his number off
you before we go.

Oh, don't be silly.
Let me take care of it.

-We're family now.
-Thanks.

Oh, that dress looks better
on you than it does on me.

What's your secret? Botox?

-Pact with the devil?
-Oh, both actually.

It's disgraceful I know,
but I find it's the only way

to get through these events.

You'd think they'd
be more discrete.

Sorry?

[Trish] The infamous Suki.

Tony's latest
afternoon delight.

She's a presenter
on one of those

hideous home makeover shows.

Oh, I'm, I'm so sorry.

I didn't know.

Oh. Don't worry.

I have my own fun
while he's away.

Roberto.

My tennis instructor.

Oh.

-He's very handsome.
-[Trish] Oh, trust me,

he serves up exactly
what's required.

I'm so glad
we've become friends.

[crowd applauding]

[Tony] Thank you.

Um... [clears throat]

I look around me here
today and I see,

I see my family,
ah, I see my friends.

I see the life
I've built and, uh...

And I guess if this
is what the big five-oh is

then, it's not too bloody
bad at all.

[laughter]

[Tony] I want
to thank the lovely,

the beautiful women
in my life.

Well, where is Suki?

[Tony] My daughter Sammy
who always was

and always will be

the joy of my life.

And of course

my beautiful wife, Trish.

Almost 25 years of marriage.

And it's been a delight.

Every single day.

I love you.

Are you getting sentimental
with all this mushy talk?

No it's just Tony and Trish.

It's a bit sad.

[Tony] So on this,
my 50th birthday,

I've decided the best kind
of present

is the kind of present
that you give away.

And my elegant daughter,

Sammy here
and our new son-in-law,

Nathan, are just starting out
on their life

and I hope they're going
to be as happy

as Trish and I have been.

Oh, God I hope not.

[Tony] And to do my bit,
to make sure that happens,

my present on my birthday,

to my daughter is an apartment

in my latest development,

a sub-penthouse apartment,

because you've always got
to have something

to aim for.

-[laughter]
-Oh, my God.

-Total score, mate.
-[Tony] Cheers. Thank you.

I've always told you.

Sammy's the best move
you ever made.

[dramatic music playing]

Okay. I'll let him borrow
the Charger for an hour.

-Ohh.
-Okay, two. That's it.

Okay. Carbo says
you can borrow

the Charger for a day.

-A day? A day?
-Yeah, yeah, and I'll fork out

20 bucks.

-A day?
-Okay. All right.

Fifty? All right,
all right deal.

And she's ready to roll now.

-Thanks for this mate.
-[phone beeps]

-Yes!
-A day? A day?

I thought we were mates!

-Carbo--
-Oh, shut up!

[Ben] If this doesn't put
a smile on mom's dial,

nothing will.

Nathan's going to flip.

Yeah.

-You scare me sometimes.
-What?

[Melissa] Well if you
and Nathan collaborated

for once, you could use
your powers for good

-and not evil.
-This is for good.

Mom's going to love it.

What are you doing tonight?

Two dollar shots at the pub
10:00 to 12:00. Till then...

You, ah, want to come
on an adventure?

[pop music playing]

Oh, I'm going to miss them.

Yeah we'll save
on the water bills though.

Sammy never really got
quite used to the idea

-of three minute showers.
-[laughs]

Yeah, but I got used
to having them around.

Yeah, me too.

Come on, let's liven
this place up a bit.

[singer]♪ Over something to do ♪

♪ Could this be true ♪

♪ It all comes down to you ♪

We should be partners.

This place you just got,
it's yours.

You own it outright.

Think of the equity,
what you can do with it.

We can buy a block of flats,

we do it up,
sell it for a profit.

That easy.

I mean, do you seriously think

Sammy's dad had
to even raise a sweat

for any of this?

Yeah, well back
in the early days

he worked pretty hard
by the sounds of it.

The right property,
any idiot can make money.

Oh.

Put a price tag on that.

Your old lady's dress?

Tell me what happens
when you decide

you don't want to be
a property developer anymore.

You want to, I don't know,

you want to make a movie,
you want to open a brothel,

I don't know, whatever takes
your interest.

What happens then?

I don't have the same
luxury that you have, okay?

My dad's not going
to bail me out

if I get myself into trouble.

Yeah, Sammy's dad will.

You really are a wanker.

[singer]♪ Something to do... ♪

We all knew.

The whole time.

At school,

we all knew
you were bullshitting.

All that stuff about your dad,
where you lived.

We still let you hang out
with us.

You were the charity case.

Piss off.

[Oliver] Very well done.

Very working class.

How's that for working class.

[groans]

If we take the apartment
then dad wins.

I can't do that.

Tony.

Absolutely flawed, we both are

by your generous offer.

Well you're part
of the family now, Nathan.

Just want you and Sammy
to be happy.

Which is why you'll understand
why we need

to decline the offer.

I've always had to work hard
for everything.

It's something my father
taught me and I know you know

what I'm talking about
because you slugged it

out the same way.

I still want the world
for Sammy

and I intend to get it

but only if I can earn it
myself.

-You're not serious.
-Mm.

Excuse me, I think I need
to dance with my wife.

[upbeat music playing]

[Melissa] You know,
for a doofus,

this is really sweet.

Your mom's going to love it.

By sweet you mean
unbelievably sexy?

Completely.

Hey, if you thought
that was hot, check this out.

Where to, m'lady? Honk honk.

Wow you look
just like Brad Pitt.

-[Ben] Really?
-No.

[Ben] Give it back.

-How do I look?
-Like a stripper.

[Melissa] Shut up!

In, in a non-sexual way.

[Melissa chuckles]

How long do you think
they'll be?

I've got tequila shots
waiting.

Well they've been here
since lunch,

so the champagne's got
to run out soon.

Melissa...

There's your mom and dad now.

Right.

Mom, dad, how's this?

-[Julie], Oh you're kidding.
-Where the hell

-did he get that?
-[Julie] Oh probably the same

fairy god mother
that got the dress.

How do you like
your pumpkin, Cinderella?

Darling, this is amazing.

I'm not going to have
to post bail, am I?

Nah, Carbo's mate owns it.

He rents them out
for weddings.

-Can we get a lift too?
-[Ben] I don't know.

Is this car posh
enough, Nathan?

Definitely.
You've done good, mate.

-You've done very good.
-[Julie] Hey Dave,

there's a telly in here.

-All right, I'm driving.
-No mate in your dreams.

Yeah, I'm a better driver,
Ben.

No way. I organized it.

You can still sit
up the front.

-No.
-You have to squash with Mel.

Okay.

-But you owe me big time.
-Oh.

Ah, I'm going to let
Nathan drive.

Sorry. It's probably
going to be a bit squishy.

-You got enough room there?
-Um, yeah.

-We're all right.
-Yeah.

-Sorry Mel.
-[car engine revving]

-[Melissa] Woohoo!
-Woohoo! Yeah!

[dramatic music playing]

Julie, white with one.

Oh, what's that?

It's a cup of tea.

Yeah, right. Okay, so...
Let me guess.

You put a laxative in it?

Hey I'm just trying to do
something nice.

Make it yourself next time.

Ron.

What on earth happened to him?

Mm. It's like he's had

a personality
transplant overnight.

Oh.

Maybe Nathan had something
to do with it?

[door shuts]

-Hey mom.
-[Julie] Oh, hi.

What are we having for dinner?

Thought I'd try a new recipe.

Doesn't have to be meat
and three veg

every night, does it?

Oh, but mom
it's what you do with it.

-[laughs] Oh, hey listen.
-Yep.

What did you say to Warney?

-Warney?
-Yeah all right

you don't have to tell me.

Just reassure me
there was no violence.

I'm sorry I, I don't know
what you're talking about.

Oh.

-My mistake.
-Mm.

How good is my mom?

It felt great to be back
in her good books.

Hey is dad out in the--

-In the shed, yes.
-Shed.

Yep, I thought so.

Okay well let me know

if you need a hand
with dinner.

Okay.

[Nathan] The real trouble
was finding a way

to apologize for 21 years

of having my head up my bum.

I finally see why you spend
so much time out here.

It's the only place
you can get a bit of space

to yourself.

Took you long enough
to work that out.

Thick skull.

It takes a while
for things to get through.

I didn't think
it could be enough.

Being out here in the burbs.
I didn't get it.

I couldn't see
why you'd be happy

and why you wouldn't
want more.

But, ah, now I see, I get it.

And finally I got dad.

-You want a beer?
-[Nathan] Yeah.

He knew what he wanted,

slogged his guts out

and got it.

A self-made man

just like I want to be.

Glass?

What do you think
I am, a wanker?

-Hey can I have a shot?
-No.

Yeah. I can.

Come on.

-Come on.
-All right let...

Just concentrate, all right?

Don't...Don't hit it too hard,

you might split
the wood all right.

Just...

All right.

[hammer pounding]

[Nathan] I guess some things
will never change.

[dramatic music playing]

[Nathan]When I was in high school

I had such big dreams.

I wanted the world.

I still do.

When I was in high school,
you know what else I wanted?

I know you're busy.

I just wanted to grab this.

[Nathan] A really hot chick
to come into my bedroom.

And offer to have sex
with me.

You're not going anywhere.

Oh, yeah.

Try telling me
there's something

more interesting
on TV than this.

I don't know. There's a pretty
good documentary

that I wanted to watch.

Yeah.

No. [laughing]

[Nathan] Not that I want
to be thinking about my dad

right now
but he's definitely right

about getting your priorities
straight.
