[dramatic music playing]

[Nathan] A year ago,

this guy, this guy right here,

the guy in the photos.

He knew his place in the world.

Knew where he was headed.

He had it all sorted.

But somehow the world has a way

of turning everything on its head.

Happy anniversary.

-Hey, Granddad. -[Ted] G'day mate.

You're up early. You okay?

Oh, yeah, bearing up.

-How about you? -Yeah, about the same.

Where are you going?

I'm heading off to the cemetery.

You don't want to wait for the rest of the family?

Oh, we'll all go together later.

I just thought I'd grab some time to myself.

How about you?

Where were you off to?

[dramatic music playing]

[security guard] Mate, you shouldn't have.

You don't give up easy, do you?

Oh, it looks like the press have.

Yeah, give it an hour or so.

It's my anniversary.

Sorry, mate.

Still no visitors allowed.

-Not even the intercom? -Look give it a shot,

but the only bloke I've seen go in this morning

is the lawyer.

All right.

[intercom rings]

Maria?

Maria, can you get that?

Hello?

Mrs. Westaway?

Trish, it's Nathan.

Please, please don't hang up.

[birds chirping]

Nathan's at the gate.

Did you hear me?

I don't want you to let him in.

Oh, for goodness sake, you can't keep ignoring him.

-Do you know what today is? -Well, of course I do.

That's why I'm telling you get out there

and talk to your husband.

Sweetheart, if there's one piece of advice

I could ever give you...

please don't let your life become mine.

[dramatic music playing]

[phone beeping]

Sounds like your luck's changed, mate.

Did you see me on TV?

Mom was impressed.

Obviously just your mom.

No, I was too.

I meant what I said, Sam.

You're my wife and I love you.

So it might not exactly be happy, but...

it's still our anniversary.

I'm sorry.

-I missed you so much. -I missed you too.

Sometimes when the world turns,

it's definitely for the better.

Sometimes it takes a lot of guts simply to carry on.

It's been the longest year of my life, love.

We've, none of us have forgotten you.

Not for a second.

And we never will.

You don't think it's crazy, do you,

what I'm suggesting here?

No, bugger it.

It's what you'd want.

I know you would.

Should I go see if granddad wants some breakfast?

Uh, oh no darling he'll get up in his own time.

And hey listen, today, we're just going to do

what he wants to do, all right?

[phone ringing]

-Ben? -Yeah, of course.

Why do you think I'm here? For granddad and nan.

Mm. Hello. Julie Rafter.

Oh, Marjorie, hi.

No, no, he's not up yet. Can I...

Oh, that's lovely of you to think of him.

Yeah, I will.

Thanks, bye.

Marjorie? Which one of his groupies is that?

Guessing it's not the one who tipped orange juice

-all over him. -[Julie] Oh, stop it you two.

Marjorie's lovely. She's a good friend for dad.

She just wanted to let him know she was thinking of him.

Marjorie, eh?

That was very thoughtful of her.

I thought you were still in bed.

Oh, no, I got up early. Went to the cemetery.

Oh, I thought we were all going to do that together?

Yeah, but today's not the day for standing around

crying our eyes out.

That's the last thing your mother would've wanted.

In fact, if she had her way,

you know what we'd all be doing?

-Dad-- -It's okay.

Now we... We've mourned long enough.

It's time to celebrate.

But I just don't think that--

Yeah, the good times.

The way your mom loved life, loved a party.

-I think it's great, Granddad. -Yeah.

And what better way to celebrate

than to sing her favorite song.

Oh no Dad, not today--

♪ Wherever you go ♪

♪ Wherever you may wander In your life ♪

Come on, sing. ♪ Surely you know... ♪

I don't think I know the words.

[Ted] ♪ I always want To be there ♪

-♪ Holding your hand... ♪ -[Dave] Oh, what the hell.

[all] ♪ Standing by to catch you ♪

♪ When you fall ♪

♪ Seeing you through ♪

♪ In everything you do ♪

[Ted] Big chorus!

[all] ♪ Let me be there In your morning ♪

♪ Let me be there In your night... ♪

I remember I'd left this huge mess in Nan's kitchen

at her house and then Nan came home

and she was really angry and she said to me,

"Someone's had a real beano here, haven't they?"

And I was like, "Nan seriously, 'beano'."

[laughter]

Her mother used to say it to her.

[Ben] But it was the stupidest word I'd ever heard.

Well, beano is a sort of a feast.

And wherever you are, my darling,

I hope you're having one right now.

Yeah, cheers to that.

[Ted] Yeah.

-G'day g'day. -[Ted] Oh.

-Hey. -I knew something was missing.

[Ted] Now it's looking like a celebration.

-How are you my girl? -I'm okay. How are you?

Oh, you know, yeah, no tears today.

That's the last thing Louise would've wanted.

Good. Sorry for just dropping in.

Oh, don't be silly. It's lovely to see you.

-Hey. -[Sammy] Hi.

How's your father?

Uh, hard to tell. Holding up.

[Ben] They said on the news he could get 15 years.

Ben.

[Ben] Sorry.

It is good to see you.

[Dave] Yeah, well happy anniversary.

[Rachel] Yeah.

Thank you very much.

[Ted] Hey.

[Marjorie] Hello. I saw you there.

I didn't want to stick my nose in.

Oh, don't be silly. We're just treating ourselves

to a bit of a lunch in Louise's honor.

Would you like to join us?

[Marjorie] Oh, no thank you.

I... I'm with the girls.

Oh. It looks like it could be trouble.

-[laughs] -Certainly hope so.

Enjoy your lunch.

-Are you okay mom? -Hmm?

-Are you okay? -Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Better for seeing you two.

[Nathan] Sometimes when mom says she's fine,

you believe it. Other times,

yeah, she's not quite so convincing.

[sighs]

[Ted] Everything okay?

[Ben] Yeah.

Nan was so good at fixing things, I just...

Wishing she was here to fix me and Melissa.

Give it time, mate.

Give it time.

Hang on a sec.

Uh, yes, the police are on their way, are they?

You trying to make a quick getaway?

They've already warned me I'm on my last chance.

Better get out of here quick smart.

Well, before you go,

it's my turn to cook dinner tonight

and I was wondering if you'd be game enough to join us?

I mean I'll never give that Ramsay bloke a run

for his money but I can assure you

it'll be edible.

-Sounds lovely, Ted. -Okay, good.

Well, our place around seven thirty?

And by the way, you do like Thai, don't you?

I do. I'll bring some white wine to go with it.

[dramatic music playing]

Have you got anything to wash?

I want to wear this shirt tonight.

You're going to a lot of trouble, aren't you?

When a clean shirt becomes too much effort,

then the whole world's in trouble.

Well I just don't think it's very appropriate,

that's all.

Look, you know what, Dad? I think it's great

that you're going up and making new friends

but I just...

Did you have to invite Marjorie over tonight?

I mean any other night, fine.

I don't think it's showing a whole lot of respect

to mom's memory.

Well, I didn't want to upset you.

Marjorie's just a friend.

We get together and have a bit of a laugh, that's all.

[Julie] No, I know, Dad. It's just...

I don't think you should've invited her over tonight.

I'm sorry.

No, no you're right.

I wasn't thinking.

I'll give her a bell

and try to arrange some other time.

What?

My mother died a year ago.

Yeah, I know, I know.

Well, you know I don't feel like singing.

I feel like bawling my eyes out.

It's a hard day for everyone

and everyone's going to handle it differently.

Well, do you think it's appropriate?

What? That he's having dinner with a friend?

No, tonight.

Look I know... I know life goes on.

Aren't I allowed to be a little bit defensive

of my mom's memory?

Yeah, of course you are.

I've really upset Dad, haven't I?

You know I'm just... I'm all over the place

at the moment.

Have you made an appointment to see a doctor?

Yeah, tomorrow. But it's not like

there's going to be a miracle cure or anything.

No, but it might help you feel a little bit less--

Of a cow?

-Stressed out. -Moo.

[Nathan] If dad thought mom was stressed out then,

he only had hours to wait for the world to turn.

[dramatic music playing]

[Nathan] Now, don't tell me that this isn't exactly...

exactly how you imagined

our first wedding anniversary to be.

Oh, exactly.

I mean who needs a villa in Bali

with a private pool and French champagne?

I love you.

And I love you too.

-To us. -To us.

[Nathan] And there it was,

the best anniversary present of all.

[Ben] I've got a couple of blondes here, mate,

if you reckon you can handle it.

[Nathan] And just as my world seemed to be getting back

-on track... -[Ben] Hey, Carbo.

[Nathan] ...Ben was in for a surprise of his own.

Beer.

That... That's what I was talking about.

It was a... it was a joke because--

Blonde, yeah, I get it.

Right, well I'm going to leave you guys to it.

I'll tell you what this flower game,

it really takes it out of you.

Especially with your 4:00 AM starts.

[Carbo] Spreading the love, my boss calls it.

I call it slave labor.

Don't let him kid you.

-He's loving it. -Hmm.

So...

I wanted to thank you.

I got back from Perth this morning.

-Perth? Really? -[Melissa] Yeah.

Maybe you contacting mom and dad was fate.

I decided to go back and see them.

Wow. How was it?

Good.

Although your appearance on morning television

took a bit of explaining...

-You saw that? -Repeatedly.

You know it's on YouTube?

Everyone's allowed a random act of stupidity

once in their lives.

Though only once?

And I've already gone way over quota.

So did you catch up with, um...

what's his name? Your ex-fiance?

Shannon. Uh, no.

Other friends but not him.

And, uh, are you going to move back there?

No, no, no, staying here.

Here in Sydney with a friend.

Anyway I just thought I'd, um, come and check my mail.

So, um, I better get going.

Melissa?

Are we still friends at least?

Friends I think I can manage.

I know the way out.

[mellow music playing]

So? Details.

I thought you said you had a 4:00 AM start.

Oh, just tell me.

She's never going to give me another chance.

-She came here, didn't she? -Yeah, to pick up her mail.

Well, she's not going to make it easy for you, mate.

You have to work for it.

Since when did you become Dr. Love?

[Carbo] Hey, I'm in the romance business now.

I know how this works.

Every single day

an idiot just like yourself stuffs up big time.

But then he wins her back with roses. Easy.

You just have to have a plan.

Trust me.

[Rachel] Remember when Nan took me to Melbourne

for the weekend?

Your 13th birthday present.

Well, on the plane, she convinced them

into letting me sit in the cockpit.

[Ted] Oh, I bet she did.

[Rachel] The whole way there, I'd been talking about

how much I wanted to be an airhostess,

and nan was like, "Now, Rachel,

what about flying the plane?

-Wouldn't you rather do that?" -[laughs]

-The last of the bra-burners. -Yeah.

I didn't really like the pilots' uniform

half as much but I didn't quite have

the heart to tell her that.

-Hey. -[Rachel laughs]

-Oh, hey mom. -Hi love.

Um, so, was Marjorie okay, Dad?

Oh, yeah, yeah, tomorrow night.

She's looking forward to it.

Oh great.

It'll be good to see her.

Dad I wasn't being a drama queen before.

-I'm just-- -No, hey, hey it's fine.

Really.

[Rachel] We're just swapping Nan stories.

Where did she take you for your 13th birthday?

Oh, uh--

[Rachel] Did she give you the totally embarrassing

"you're becoming a woman" speech?

Uh, a version of it I think.

Oh, trust me you'd remember the speech.

Okay, well, goodnight you two.

-Goodnight, love. -Goodnight, mom.

-[Rachel] Oh. -[Ted] Mm.

[Dave] Nathan and Sammy seem to be

putting everything behind them.

"Do Not Disturb" pretty much says it all.

-Jules? -[sighs]

I didn't get to cry.

-What? -Oh, God.

Yeah, I know why I'm like this, you know,

raging hormones, menopause.

But I miss her.

You know there's so many things

that we didn't get to talk about.

And it's not fair of dad to say that

we have cried enough. What if some of us...

need to cry?

You know you said that we all cope

with things differently. Well, today, I missed her.

You know and everything that I'm going through

I just wanted to ask her how she felt.

Was she scared.

I just want my mom.

[sobs] I just... I just want mom.

[acoustic music playing]

Morning.

Good morning.

Morning, Dad.

Morning, love.

Uh, you back to work already?

Oh, you know, my manager's patience has limits.

I can't live in this parallel universe forever.

-Oh. -What about you?

Uh, well I've got a doctor's appointment this afternoon,

so I thought I'd treat myself to a half-day off.

-Oh, lovely. -[Julie] Cups please.

[Nathan] Dad, I just got a call from Matt.

He can't make it today.

Have we got anyone else on the books?

Not at this short notice. I mean I don't use

a laborer that often.

Well, I could do it.

[scoffs]

Oh, how hard can it be?

I'm not completely unphysical.

[Dave] No, look I'm not suggesting that.

Dad, dad, dad, I don't mind getting my hands dirty.

If you want the job, it's all yours.

-What do I have to do? -[Dave] Ever used a shovel?

Oh, would it be gay if I asked for a pair of gloves?

Oh, if they're black and satin and come up to here,

probably. Uh, hi everyone, bye everyone.

Oh, oh, Rach?

Mother?

It was the Blue Mountains.

We were on a train and...

mom asked if I wanted to be a train driver.

[sighs] And the talk?

Yeah. I got the talk.

-Bye. -[Julie] Bye.

[dramatic music playing]

It's all right, Benno.

She'll be here. She'll be here.

Oh, she's not coming. You're an idiot.

-[Melissa] Ben? -Melissa.

-Hey. You got the message. -Message?

Uh, yeah, course you did.

-So what's the big surprise? -I'll show you.

But first, um, you have to close your eyes.

Ben...

Come on. It's just a short walk.

I don't know if I'm comfortable with this.

Please just trust me.

Which is exactly the problem.

Uh, look, it'll be worth it. I promise.

Ready for lunch, right?

-Hungry? Thirsty? -Okay, okay.

-Okay. You ready? -Yeah, just get on with it.

Right, sorry. One...

Really?

-Ben... -Okay.

Sorry, sorry, okay. Let's go.

Okay, we're nearly there.

-Nearly? -Yes.

-It's just a few more steps. -All right.

-Come on. -Okay.

-[Ben] Hey! -[Melissa screams]

-[Ben]Careful. -God, Ben.

-Sorry. Careful. -No. Ben,

if this is some kind of practical joke--

No, no, no, it's not a joke.

Okay?

Now stop.

Open your eyes.

Surprise.

Would you like a drink?

Perhaps some champagne, madam?

This is... This is actually French.

Is this supposed to impress me?

Yes, actually.

It's not working, is it?

It's just I thought that the champagne

would make it more of a special occasion.

You know, fun.

That's all... That's all this is.

I'm not trying to make a move or anything.

[Ted] You back from the doctors already?

[Julie] Uh, no, just on my way now.

Hmm, stocking up for a long winter?

Oh, I might've over done it a little.

Now you sure you're all right about tonight?

Oh, absolutely, Dad.

I meant what I said last night.

I'm sorry I overreacted.

Blame the hormones.

Same as your mother.

-Huh? -The change.

I mean, some days I'd have to wave the white flag

before I could come through the door.

She had a terrible time, poor girl.

Yeah, see, no I don't remember that.

I don't even remember her bringing that up.

Different times, Julie.

You didn't blab about your troubles then.

Oh, maybe she should have.

And if I'd known what she went through,

it might not have taken me so long

to figure out my symptoms.

You have no idea how alike you two are.

Who? Me and mom?

No idea at all.

Thanks, Dad.

Better go. Good luck with the cooking.

-Good luck with the doctor. -Yeah, well,

it's not like he's going to tell me anything

I don't already know.

Well there must be some mistake.

I know this must come as a terrible shock to you.

Shock?

[Dr Clayer] Would you like me to call your husband?

No. No, no, no,

I don't want him to know just yet.

Can we just wait and see

what the blood tests say first?

[Nathan] One little word.

One tiny turn of the world,

and all mum's certainty about the future was gone.

[dramatic music playing]

That's, uh, a lovely bracelet.

Late Victorian? English?

Since when have you become a jewellery expert?

Since me and Carbo started watching

-The Collectors show. -[laughs]

Well, I had to do something while you were gone.

Yeah, well,

you are smarter than you look

because it was my English grandmother's

but it was in the family ages before that.

My mum was going to give it to me for my wedding

but, um...

Well, she's given it to you now.

So that's good, right?

Exactly.

-More champagne? -Yeah.

[screams]

Oh, my god.

Melissa, I'm so sorry.

-I'll fix this. -Oh, no it's...

Melissa?

Anything?

It's all sand down there.

Keep looking.

Mum's going to kill me.

[Ben] I'm sorry.

Ben!

Ben?

Ben?

Ben!

Are you okay?

-I told you I'd find it. -[Melissa] Oh.

-[Ben] Is it okay? -Uh, more than okay.

I bet that's the first champagne bath it's ever had.

Thank you.

Uh... [clears throat]

please tell me this isn't part of the seduction.

No, it's not.

I swear. I swear.

Actually, maybe I believe you.

-Hey, come here. -But I'm all wet.

No come here, dufus.

Bet that's the first time you've been kissed by a guy

in monkey boxers.

Thankfully, that's very true.

Something smells amazing.

Thai mussaman curry.

It's been slow cooking all afternoon.

You're going to a bit of trouble, aren't we?

[Ted] Marjorie likes her food.

[Rachel] Mm. A healthy appetite.

We are talking just dinner here

-aren't we, granddad? -That's enough cheek

out of you, young lady.

So, mum's okay with everything now?

Yeah, she's fine.

Uh, she was feeling a bit sensitive.

I wasn't thinking. But it's all good.

Who wants to see my blisters?

I thought you were going to wear gloves.

[Nathan] No, gloves are for pussies.

These are a man's hands. These are a man's blisters.

Oh, what have you created?

Hey, don't look at me. He shoveled like a demon.

Best labourer I have ever hired.

Yow! Ow. Ow.

Well I might go take a shower.

Or actually I might take a bath.

[Ted] Hey mate, those blisters...

pee on them.

It works.

You're not joking are you?

-Pee on them. -Yeah, go on.

Empty your bladder.

Righto, mate.

Hey.

-[Ted] Hi love, how'd it go? -Um, it was fine.

[Rachel] Hey, can you smell what granddad's cooking up

-for Marjorie? -[Julie] Smells good.

What'd the doctor say?

Um, actually, I'm feeling a bit tired

so I might just go and have a lie down.

I thought you said she was fine.

Jules?

This isn't still about your mum's anniversary?

No, no, no, no.

So what's the next step?

Vitamins? Exercise?

Couple of weeks in Fiji?

No he's just got to do a few more tests.

Got to call him in the morning.

But everything's all right, isn't it? I mean,

-he talked you through it? -[Julie] Yeah.

-Demystified it all. -Yeah.

Yeah, no it's fine.

I really am. I'm just tired.

All right then, well, I'll wake you up

-in an hour or so. -That'd be great. Thanks.

[dramatic music playing]

[Ben] Good evening.

Hey, check this out.

She loves me, she loves me not,

she loves me... What do you know?

-She loves me. -Hey, take it easy.

Four bucks a stem.

So I take it the picnic went well then.

Mate, it was awesome.

It was just... It was awesome.

Is she moving back in?

No, but I am having dinner with her tomorrow night.

-Ooh. -Won't be long after that.

Hey, mate, you really are going overboard

with all this flower bizzo. Should I be worried?

No, I'm chucking them out.

Know anyone that wants some?

Not at four bucks a stem.

Not for you, mate. Mate's rates.

Nada. Go for your life.

Seriously.

Do I look like a suck?

The party's arrived.

[Rachel] Flowers? Ben, you are such a suck.

I know friends in the trade. No biggie.

Hey, uh, granddad, where's Marjorie?

Uh, on her way. Excuse me mate.

-And mum? -[Dave] She's having a snooze.

-Why are you so happy? -No reason.

[Nathan] Do you want to see them?

I've got calluses. I've got real calluses.

They came up after I had a bath.

Oh, do I even want to know how you got those?

Oh, we all know.

And dad just for the record, doing that's

supposed to make you go blind.

Yeah, well I'm surprised you've kept your eyesight

after all these years, Ben.

[Ted] Look at the risk of being a stick in the mud,

can we get all these sorts of jokes out of the way

-before our guest arrives? -[Nathan] Actually, granddad,

I'm, uh, I'm not sticking around for dinner.

-I'm taking Sammy out. -Oh,

that's nice, darling. Where are you going?

I'm taking her to that new seafood restaurant

-on the harbour. Mm. -[Julie] Oh.

-[doorbell rings] -Oh, I can get that for you

-if you like? -No, no, no, I'll do it.

Come in, come in.

Hello.

Whatever you're cooking it's terrific.

I could smell it halfway down the street.

-A little something. -Oh, thank you.

You look lovely.

Oh, thank you.

You don't look bad yourself.

Um, listen, do you know everyone?

Just to jog your memory.

-Julie. -Dave.

-Nathan. -Ben.

Rachel.

Lovely to see you all again.

And just in case he hasn't mentioned it,

I'm the only one granddad actually likes.

-[laughter] -[Nathan] Ha ha ha,

that's his borderline personality speaking.

Just ignore him.

And these are for you.

Oh, Ben, you shouldn't have.

[Ben] I know but I just couldn't help myself.

I would offer to shake your hand...

Uh, uh,...

I've got calluses.

[Ben] We're not allowed to tell you

how he got his calluses. It's not appropriate

-dinner conversation. -I have a son of my own.

I pretty much think I know

where you're going with that one.

That's the thing about being a mother.

It's like Julie always says, you've got to be two steps

-ahead of them all the time. -Or 20 steps

when you've got three children.

We're really pleased that you could be with us

-tonight, Marjorie. -Thank you.

[Julie] Would you like me to take the flowers?

Uh, come here, take a seat.

[Ted] Come and sit down.

[Nathan] No ordering fish and chips, okay?

'Cause that was last night. This is tonight.

This is our proper anniversary dinner.

Oh, right. Mmm-hmm.

Well what are we going to drink to then?

Ooh, um, the future?

[Petra] I've got to say something.

Petra, leave it.

It's all very well for you two to be sitting here

all smiling and lovey-dovey

but I'd like to know who paid for that champagne.

I'm sorry?

It's not you I'm talking to, it's her.

Butter wouldn't melt in her mouth.

Princess Westaway. Oh, yes, don't think

I don't know your face from the papers.

[Roger] Come and sit down, love.

-I'm sorry about this. -Yeah, well I'm not sorry.

She's going to have to hear what I've got to say.

Your father has ruined us.

Our home, our super, the whole lot's gone

because of that bloody scam.

It's criminal. That's what it is.

It's despicable and I am praying

that he goes down for it.

-I'm sorry. -Oh, you're not sorry.

What are you doing here with your designer dress,

your expensive haircut.

I wonder who paid for those?

No, Nathan, just look...

I know you might not believe me, but...

-I do understand. -Oh, yeah,.

Pigs might fly.

Go on, toast whatever it is you were toasting.

I just hope it chokes you.

-Sammy... -I just want to go.

I just want to get out of here, okay?

Come on, start.

If it doesn't taste all right,

you can blame the recipe.

-It smells delicious. -Yeah, Rach,

I don't think you're going to like this very much

but, uh, luckily I'm happy to help you out with it.

[Rachel] Oi! Hands off.

Hey it's gross. Isn't it?

Come, come on help me out here.

[Dave] I'm warning you Marjorie,

there's no obligation to get involved.

I told you I have a son too.

It's delicious.

[Rachel] Mm, yes it is.

Dad, look, I'm sorry.

I'm not feeling very well.

I'm going to have to excuse myself.

I'm really sorry, Marjorie.

[Marjorie] Oh, don't apologise.

Do you think you're coming down with something?

Um, yeah, maybe. I'm sorry.

Um, have a nice night.

Yeah, she, uh, hasn't been well all week.

Maybe an early night is just what she needs.

[knocks on door]

Yeah?

Hey.

Mum, granddad hasn't forgotten about nan.

Oh, darling that's not what this is about.

No? Then why are you hiding in here?

It's got nothing to do with Marjorie.

I'm just not up to it.

Are you okay?

Can you, um, go get your father for me?

-Mum, what's wrong? -No, I really just need

to speak to your dad. Please.

Okay.

And what do you call this?

-Uh, mussaman curry. -[Marjorie] Mm.

Hey, Dad, mum wants to see you.

Excuse me, Marjorie.

[Marjorie] Ted, that really was delicious.

And don't think I'm leaving here

-without the recipe. -Oh, absolutely.

And there's plenty more.

You've still got sweets to go yet.

What can I do to help?

Oh, don't be silly. Just sit there.

-You're the guest. -No, nonsense.

Oh no, look we'll do it.

[Ben] Yeah, yeah,. You guys sit down.

We'll take care of it.

You know, it hasn't always been easy with my kids.

I mean they found the idea of me wanting to move on

-very difficult. -Mm.

Well, Julie's got a few things she's dealing with

at the moment.

Got nothing to do with you.

Why didn't you tell me this before?

I didn't want to worry you.

Jules, I can't believe you were going to keep this

to yourself all night.

Well, why not?

Because we're in this together.

Yeah, it does help to have shared it

-with someone. -Yeah.

Me.

Your husband.

-What about the kids? -No.

Not till we know for sure.

And in the meantime?

Put on a happy face.

Ben, I think there's something wrong with mum.

Well, that's not exactly news.

No, something more than what we thought.

She went to the doctors today and she's been weird

ever since she came home.

[clears throat]

Uh, there you are.

Marjorie was just on her way home.

-Oh. -And no cracks about

how much beauty sleep some of us might need.

Oh, we wouldn't say that about Ted.

[Julie] Marjorie, I'm so sorry about tonight.

I hope we can do it again sometime soon.

[Marjorie] That'd be lovely.

I hope you feel better soon.

Yeah, me too.

Mm.

I'll walk you to the car.

You're such a gentleman.

Hey, uh, Marjorie, don't forget your flowers.

Thank you, Ben.

-Bye Marjorie. -Bye.

[Julie] Okay, let's get this dishwasher on.

Oh no, mum, we've got it covered.

Yeah, it's okay. Don't worry about it.

[knocks on door]

[Ted] Yes?

[Julie] Dad?

I'm fine.

Go to bed, Julie.

You obviously need the rest.

Dad, look I'm really sorry about dinner.

Look if you're angry with me, can we at least talk

about this like adults?

Adult?

Is that what you call your behaviour tonight?

I don't think I've ever been so disappointed in you.

I mean if it's good enough for your mother,

for me to move on and live my life,

why isn't it good enough for you?

Dad, this isn't about that.

I like Marjorie. I really do.

What then?

Marjorie's a friend.

And perhaps someday she'll become something more.

Goodnight, Julie.

[door closes]

[Nathan] Sam, I think we should talk about this.

It's not fair that you had to cop that.

It's got nothing to do with you.

You don't think?

It was my dad who lost them all their money.

Right. Your dad, not you.

[Sammy] He just doesn't get how it's affecting

other people.

Then someone should drag him into the real world.

Make him understand. I mean,

if you can't go out to dinner without

some bankrupt investors getting stuck

into you like that, I mean that's crazy.

He owes these people some answers.

He owes them an explanation.

It's not just that.

He owes it to himself.

Dad.

Sammy.

Nathan.

I've seen more of you this past week

than the whole previous year.

Dad.

Please listen. I am talking to you.

What's going on out there is real.

People are losing their savings, their houses.

-The investors you mean? -[Sammy] Yes.

We were at a restaurant and a woman came up to me

-and she recognized me and-- -[laughs]

And that's the real reason for your visit.

You got embarrassed at a restaurant.

You can't just stick your head in the sand, dad.

For your own sake, you have to face up

to your responsibilities.

Those people, they trusted you.

"Those people" being the investors?

Yes.

[Tony] Investment involves risk.

They knew that. There are no guarantees.

I don't control the market.

Yes but surely you should've seen that coming.

You knew the company was overvalued.

Sammy,

what's going on out there,

it happens. Now, you're not here because

people lost their homes. You're here

because you got embarrassed in a restaurant.

-Tony! -[Sammy] Oh no, I am here

because I am embarrassed for you.

And you're angry now because the safety net

my money has always provided is suddenly at risk.

[Sammy] You're not even listening to me.

These people have lost everything.

Not just a couple of hundred bucks on blackjack.

Everything.

And it's your fault.

They took a risk.

No dad, you did.

And you lost.

I am so proud of you.

I'm not sure I am.

I hurt him. I could see it in his eyes.

So maybe he'll process it.

Work it all through and then do something.

I mean you're right. He can't spend

the rest of his life slugging golf balls.

-I'm so glad I have you. -Me too.

[chuckles] You know the worst part though?

-What? -He's right.

Part of me is terrified, you know.

Now I have to work.

I have to earn money.

No more safety nets, no more trips to New York.

No, we will go to New York. Together.

It might just take a little longer to save,

that's all.

And whatever happens with your dad,

I mean, you tried.

And okay we might not have any money,

we might be living with my parents,

I might be currently digging ditches, but...

it is still the first day of the rest of our lives.

Yeah.

And I think calluses are sexy.

[dramatic music playing]

Hey, uh, taking Mel out to dinner tonight.

What do you reckon? Is this shirt all right?

Mate isn't it bad enough I have to deal

with other people's happiness being shoved in my face

all day, do I have to deal with it here as well?

-Sorry. -[Carbo] The shirt's fine

but if you really want to impress a lady,

do you know what you should do?

-Let me guess. -A bouquet. You know,

something that reflects Mel's personality.

Lots of colour, not too girly.

Beautiful scent.

Mate, listen to me. Listen to me.

-What've I become? -Actually, uh,

flowers aren't such a bad idea. Mate's rates.

Mate, in case you hadn't noticed,

I was going through a mid-twenties crisis.

But, no, no, no, that's fine, mate.

-Make it about yourself. -[doorbell dings]

Oh, and if you want cheap bouquets,

-you can get that. -I'm coming!

[Nathan] And just when you think that

everything's working out perfectly...

Uh, Mormons, right?

I thought they always had to have the short sleeves.

[scoffs] Actually, I'm looking for Melissa.

-Is she here? -Uh, no she moved out.

She's staying with a friend though.

[Shannon] Right. Do you have a phone number?

Not to be rude, but I don't know you

from a bar of soap.

Right, sorry, uh, my name's Shannon.

[dramatic music playing]

And judging from your expression,

she's, uh, mentioned me.

I don't think she wants to see you.

The ex-boyfriend, right?

The ex-fiance?

Look, a mutual friend in Perth gave me this address.

I need to speak to her.

[Nathan] And as Ben's world turned on its head

Mum and dad were facing some very tough stuff

of their own.

Bottom line, it's happening whether we like it or not?

You need to make an appointment

to see a specialist. That's all I'm saying.

So we can work out where to go from here.

[Nathan] A year can make a huge difference

in your life.

But all it takes to really shake things up

can be a day, an hour, a second.

Yeah, but she wouldn't be going back to the doctor today

if there wasn't something really wrong.

She might've had some tests and probably just has to go

-get the results. -[Rachel] Yeah,

but they give you those over the phone.

Unless it's something really bad.

Julie did look like she'd been crying this morning.

She's been like that for weeks.

No, Nathan, I think it is something more.

I mean what if she...

What?

No, I don't even want to say it.

What? You think she might have cancer?

[Sammy] Don't say that.

Don't even put the thought out there.

What if she does?

[door closes]

Mum, what happened? What did the doctor say?

-Settled down. -[Rachel] No, mum, look,

if you are sick, you have to tell us, okay?

-It's not fair. -I'm not sick, all right?

But there is something going on, isn't there?

[Rachel] Mum please, I am scared.

Please just tell us the truth.

[dramatic music playing]

I'm pregnant.

[Nathan]And just like that.

I wasn't the baby around here anymore.
