[upbeat music playing]

[Julie] Don't you love those early mornings,

lying in bed, listening to the rain.

Snug and warm in your toasty cocoon.

Everything right with the world.

Nathan and Sammy back on track

after that little hiccup.

Ben and Melissa happy enough,

playing it by ear.

Rachel happily single and focused on...

being Rachel.

Even dad getting out there.

And me and Dave, expectant.

Excited for the future.

All of us perfectly content.

Hold that thought.

Well, good morning.

-[Julie retching] -Sorry.

-Six fifteen? -On the dot.

[Nathan] Ben? Ben, are you gonna be down there

-all day? -[Ben] I'm looking

-for the window cleaner. -Right.

Since when did you care whether your windows

were see through or not?

-It's for Melissa, idiot. -Mm.

[Ben] She's coming over to check out the paint job

so I thought I'd make the whole place

-look killer clean. -Oh, good strategy.

You know what? You should see all the hair

I pulled from the bathtub. I don't even know any rangas

and there's still enough to make a ginger yeti.

-Um, she's still in there. -Twenty minutes.

God, how much spew can one small woman contain?

-Twenty minutes. -[Dave] Hey, hey, hey, hey,

guys, guys, guys, remember our main focus here

is your mother, all right? She needs our full support,

one hundred and ten percent.

So no matter how weird her cravings are,

no matter how many stops she makes on the way to the...

-Vomit train? -[Dave] Just zip it.

And give her full support, all right?

-Are you with me? -Yes.

-Are we on the same page? -[Ben] Totally.

Yes, yes. One hundred percent we're on your...

Fine.

[western music playing]

Oh, for God sake it's just a little morning sickness.

-Okay?

Mom, are you sure you're okay?

I'm absolutely fine. Never better.

In fact, uh, if the kettle's boiled,

I might have a peppermint tea.

-Ben. -Onto it.

There. Good.

-[vomiting and coughing] -[Nathan] Oh.

[upbeat music playing]

-You all right? -Hmm?

Yeah, course.

Why? Do I look sick?

Nothing a blood transfusion wouldn't fix.

Oh, that bad?

Well the blush is helping a little.

-How are things with you? -Yeah, okay...

for someone who's just received terrible news.

Apparently I'm gonna have a run in with the undead.

-What about? -Well, how should I know?

It hasn't happened yet.

Bonnie, the new sandwich lady, she's good.

What do you mean she's good?

Well, she knows...

-things. -What things?

[Chrissy] Things in our past.

Things in our future.

-What? -You're saying she's psychic?

She knew I was divorced. And single.

So does half the free world.

Yeah I'm just telling you, Julie,

-what she told me, okay? -Oh.

Oh, would you like a sandwich and a muffin?

No, thanks.

-Morning sickness? -Sorry?

[Bonnie] Same here. I was terrible with my first.

But then of course, he was a boy.

Your first was a girl, right?

Um...

Ray... Ray...

-Rachel. -Rachel.

Well, something tells me she's heading

for a fall, that one.

What you might call a crisis in confidence.

How did you know...

[Bonnie] Oh, aye, definitely.

Definitely.

I'd keep an eye out if I were you.

So, when are you due?

-[Julie] Have you told anyone? -Of course not.

Why would I?

Sorry, I'm...

Sit down, will you? I'm tense enough as it is

without you hovering around like that.

[Julie] What about what Bonnie said?

[Chrissy] Mmm.

There's a bit of a shortfall.

-Well define "a bit". -Fifteen grand.

What?

Don't know how I missed it.

Bonnie was right.

Count Dracula's not gonna be happy.

Oh, Don's not the boss.

-He's just the nephew. -Yeah.

Have you seen him crack a smile in five days?

Oh, come on. If he goes for the jugular,

I'll stab a pencil through his heart.

[Chrissy] Hi, Don. Um...

[Julie] And if Bonnie was right about Chrissy...

Jules, are you kidding? Don't even go there.

Well, you've got to admit it was weird.

[Dave] Why? Telling an office worker

they're gonna have a barney with their boss,

it's like predicting the weather.

All right but she knew about the baby.

-Did you vomit on her? -No.

-She just knew. -Well call it

women's intuition.

Oh, okay. And then she said that Rachel

was gonna have a crisis of confidence.

I mean she knew her name, Dave.

[Dave] Jules, Jules, look, look,

you know that I am good with pregnancy hormones.

You know that I can take practically anything

you throw at me but please do not

get yourself worked up about Bonnie the bagel lady.

It's just not worth it.

[Rachel clears throat]

-[Julie gasps] Whoa. -How's this?

I think you'll agree I've nailed the look.

Oh.

-Is that the plan A outfit? -No.

This is the in-your-stupid- inbred-ugly-mutant-face

Tarsha-McNeil-my-life-rules outfit.

-Crisis of confidence? -You know,

I really don't get school reunions.

I mean who cares how much hair you've lost

or how much weight you've stacked on?

Mind you, in Dianna Gleeson's case,

it was a lot.

So what's the story with Tarsha?

She made my life hell year seven through twelve.

-Oh. -And this,

this is my chance to show her

how I came through. How I triumphed.

This plus the, um, design degree,

the stellar advertising career.

You'll blow her out of the water.

[Julie] So, um, any old boyfriends gonna be there?

Scott Webster maybe?

Oh, Scott Webster who's on his way

to London to join the cast

of Priscilla Queen Of The Desert.

Ah. What about Mark?

Mark Antico?

Mark Antico? Oh, the love of Rachel's life.

-Shut up, Nathan. -Well, he was

until dad tackled him into the floor.

-I didn't tackle him. -You did.

You did so. You practically cavity searched him

-for condoms. -[Rachel] Yep.

And he never spoke to me ever again.

It was just a little tackle.

Well, hey, Rach, are you still coming

to the Boat Club with us later for a drink?

Yeah, sure. Oh, I can road test

my plan B outfit.

Why do we only get the plan B outfit?

I'm hardly gonna waste my plan A material

on you two now, am I?

-Crisis of confidence? -Yeah, all right.

I take your point.

[Carbo] Geez, Benno. Calm down.

Look, I'm just cleaning the joint.

I'm not installing a jacuzzi.

Well don't you think you're going a bit

overboard with this? I mean, all the flower

-deliveries? -What, "overboard"?

-Is that what she said? -No.

[Ben] Yeah but how does she look when she gets them?

-I don't know. -Into it or not into it?

Should I send her a different kind?

Lilies were a bad idea, weren't they?

Look, look, look, just, just calm down, okay?

This is not a good look. Look, just breathe.

-Breathe, relax. -[doorbell rings]

Okay, that's Mel.

Don't mention anything about the cleaning.

-Hey. -[Melissa] Hi.

Come in.

Been doing some cleaning?

No.

Carbo just spilled some bleach.

He was trying to dye his eyebrows.

Oh, sounds about right.

So, can I get you anything?

Cold drink? Piece of toast?

Foot massage?

I wouldn't go between the toes or anything weird.

Unless of course you really want me to?

We're taking it slow, remember?

[Ben] Yeah, yeah, I am taking it slow.

So, uh, is this where you kiss me?

Tear off my clothes and ravish my entire body?

Go on. Go on.

[Rachel] I mean a part of me's actually looking

forward to this reunion.

Hey, Rach, will there be a corkboard

at this thing? Because I have got

some great shots of the speech night

when Tarsha McNeil tucked your skirt into your undies.

[applause]

[laughter]

Not funny, Nathan.

Well I think you look great, Rach.

[Rachel] Yeah this works too, doesn't it?

-Mmm-hmm. -Look, I'm just gonna grab

-a drink. -[Janice] Rachel Rafter?

Oh, my God!

I can't believe you're here.

This is the most amazing coincidence.

Janice?

I haven't seen you since the night

at the formal when I got caught

pashing Shane Leadbetter in the dunnies!

Shane Leadbetter.

Oh, my God.

What on earth were you thinking?

Yeah, guess what? We're married!

Congratulations.

Um, sorry, this is Nathan and Sammy.

-Hello. -This is Janice.

-Leadbetter. -How are you doing?

Right. Janice Leadbetter.

Um, we went to school together.

And you know what? You haven't changed a bit.

-I knew it was you. -[Nathan] Guess it's

-definitely outfit A. -[Janice] You are coming

to the reunion, aren't you? Say you're coming.

-Say you're coming. -[Nathan] Of course

she's coming. She was just saying

-she's looking forward to it. -[Janice] Really?

That's so funny because I was just down here

finalizing the catering.

All the others are like look keep it cheap

and cheerful. You know what I'm like

at getting my way.

Look Janice, we were just about to have a drink.

-Why don't you join us? -Oh, but we wouldn't want

to keep you from all your um...

I'd love to. There's so much to catch up on!

Absolutely. In fact, Rachel

was just reminding us about that nightmare speech night.

Oh, when Tarsha McNeil tucked your skirt

into your undies!

[laughs] I remember!

I wonder if we've got any photos of that?

Because we were thinking of doing a corkboard.

Oh.

Okay.

This place is full on clean.

It reminds me of work.

Like, you know,

this totally sterile environment.

Come on, the place you live in is this clean,

-it kind of freaks me out. -Okay.

Yeah.

-What are you doing? -I'm wooing you.

-That's wooing? -I thought you said

the place was freaking you out?

Not that much! Stop it! Just stop.

Just, please.

How about I knock you up a pizza?

"Knock me up" a pizza?

Yeah? What's wrong with that?

You don't "knock up" pizzas.

You order them from Crazy Caprese.

Hey, I can knock up a pizza.

I've been practicing.

Whatever happened to fish fingers with cheese?

I almost... miss that.

Hey, if you were to move back in...

-Ben. -[Ben] ...in your own time,

-of course. -We're getting

to know each other gradually,

-like normal people. -Yes.

Normal people?

Now do you ravish me?

Eh?

Send me your leftovers.

You're not staying?

I just came around for a cuppa.

I've got to meet someone.

Who are you meeting?

-A friend. -Which friend?

Just a friend.

Um, a male friend? Do I know him?

Somehow I don't think

I'm quite getting through here.

I'm just... I'm just showing

a healthy curiosity.

I ask Carbo stuff like that all the time,

-don't I, Carbo? -What?

[Ben] Well I'm always on your back

about "Who are you meeting, Carbo?

Why are you wearing that shirt, Carbo?"

Why are you wearing that shirt, Carbo?

Can I come and live with you?

I'll catch you later.

[Janice] Oh, and this one, this is Kyra

when she was three.

And... And Jaidyn.

-Eighteen months. -[Janice] That's right.

Oh, and this is... this is Jaidyn

with a sieve over his face.

Looking like a little spaceman.

Even more adorable than when he was breastfeeding.

Oh, you'll meet Shane at the reunion.

-He's a doll. -That's if you've got time

to mingle with all of us girls catching up.

You wouldn't believe the amount of RSVPs we've had.

-Everybody's coming. -Really?

Mm.

Is, um, Tarsha McNeil going?

-Mark Antico? -Tarsha's so amazing.

We hope she's coming but she might have

-to be in Paris. -Oh, Paris.

Mm. She's got this fabulous job.

Fashion buyer for some exclusive boutique.

You just knew she'd do well for herself, didn't you?

She just had that sense of destiny about her.

Destiny.

Mm.

[Julie] What was Rachel's destiny?

To be the breathless envy

of all her old school friends?

You're quiet.

You're not still obsessing over Bonnie

and her half-baked predictions, are you?

-No. -Look, Rachel's fine.

Don't worry about it.

[Julie] Or something way more humiliating.

You live with your Mom and dad?

Uh, it's only temporary.

[Janice] Aren't you married though?

[Rachel] No. No, not yet.

-Fiancee? -[Rachel] No. No.

How on earth do you handle a B.F.

staying over at your mom and dad's house?

I don't know. Ask them.

You don't live with your parents too, do you?

-Uh... -You do have a boyfriend

though don't you, Rachel? I mean you mentioned

-your ex... -[Rachel] Oh, no,

-that didn't work out. -But you are seeing someone?

You do have a boyfriend? You do have a boyfriend?

I mean, everybody's gonna have a boyfriend.

Have a boyfriend. Have a boyfriend.

-A boyfriend. -Yes! Yes! Yes!

I have a boyfriend! Yes. I have a boyfriend.

Yep. His name is Giles and he's great.

He's, uh, he works with me at CBM.

He's cute, he's creative, he's athletic.

He trains with the Sydney Swans.

Oh, wow. That sounds amazing.

I can't wait to meet him.

-Yeah. -Yeah, he's a good bloke.

[Julie] That crisis of confidence Bonnie predicted?

Bull's eye.

[Nathan] Oh, Giles.

Giles, Rachel? Even the name sucks.

I don't want to hear it, Nathan.

Yeah, but what were you thinking?

No, don't tickle.

[Rachel] Yeah. Well, it doesn't matter now anyway.

Because Giles is busy doing

something imaginary on Saturday night.

[Nathan] Well, that's because Giles

-is imaginary. -[Rachel] Yes, exactly!

So he won't be able to come to the reunion now,

will he? No. End of story.

Let us never speak of it again.

It was just a bit intense, that's all.

Oh, well, how so?

Like I was back at school.

Like, someone took my confidence

and just poured it all away.

It was crazy, Mom.

It was instant competition, you now?

Mortgage, two kids,

the whole smug married catastrophe.

You ran into one smug married.

-One. -[Rachel] Yeah, well there

will be others on the night, Mom,

and they will all be there

swapping baby photos,

introducing their partners and what am I?

Desperate, dateless, and living at home

-with my parents. -Oh, okay,

so what if some of your ex-classmates

are married with kids?

Have they got a career they absolutely love?

I don't know. Probably.

Tarsha McNeil has apparently.

[Julie] Oh. Well darling, you can't let

that get to you. Well, people reach

different stages of their lives

at different times.

You've got nothing to be down on yourself about.

Who cares if you're single now?

Who cares if you're single for the next five,

ten, twenty years? You're still absolutely

gorgeous with a red hot job and a family

who completely adore you.

Yeah, thanks Mom.

[Julie] Okay, single for the next twenty years,

not good.

Or maybe Bonnie the bagel lady

really was onto something.

-Righto. -Righto what?

Don't think I haven't noticed you

going quietly mad around this place.

Cabin fever setting in.

Put these on and get in the van.

-Yeah? -Yeah, you've dug cable

trenches before. Showed off your calluses

with great pride as I recall.

[Warney] Oh. Good morning guys.

Dave, I've got to use the toilet, mate.

I'm busting. I shouldn't have had

-that third coffee. -Yeah, inside.

-You know where it is. -Yep.

-Hey, Warney. -[Warney] Yeah, g'day chief.

He's almost part of the furniture these days.

Why not.

I kind of like the guy.

How was last night, grandad?

How was Marjorie?

It used to be Nathan I'd catch doing

the walk of shame on my way to work.

What's your excuse?

Didn't think I needed one.

[Warney] Oh come on, Rachel. I've got to go.

No. It is nearly six fifteen, Warney.

I'm sorry but you're just gonna have

-to wait your turn. -But why? I'm busting.

-I'm sorry. -[Warney] But why?

[Julie groaning]

[Julie retching]

-That would be why. -What's wrong with her?

Oh, just I think something that she ate.

Yeah, either that or she's up the duff.

You're kidding. She's not, is she?

-[yawns] She's not. -Oh, my God!

She is! Dave, you old dog!

Oh, she's a bit old to be popping one out though,

-isn't she? -[Julie] I heard that!

[Rachel] Oh, we're gonna be late.

Hello?

Hi, Janice.

No, I didn't get any of your messages.

Yeah, look about Saturday, I'll be there

but I've got some bad news about Giles.

Yeah, he's got something on.

Footy training.

Yeah, any other day would've been great,

you know, Sunday even.

You've changed the reunion to Sunday?

Because that's the only day Tarsha McNeil can make it.

No, that is, um,

that is unbelievable.

No, that's worked out well then, hasn't it?

Great. No, we're really looking

forward to it. Can't wait.

Bye.

Have I done something wrong in a past life?

-Am I being punished? -No. Rach.

-What-- -I have a solution.

You remember my friend Stefano, yeah?

-[Rachel] No. -[Sammy] Yes,

the actor slash waiter.

Well, he'd be perfect. He's tall,

he's handsome, he's buff, he's artistic

and he'd be more than willing

to help you out for a day.

Put him in a suit,

call him Giles and the rest of the party

will be falling over themselves

at how wonderful he is, so call him.

-You think? -[Sammy] Why not?

Good morning.

Oh, so ginger didn't help?

They're wrong.

I don't know but you've got to try something, Jules.

You don't look great.

You still having trouble tracking down that stock?

Yeah. I'm really sweating, Jules.

The way Don's been dissecting the books,

I've got to find out what happened.

Yes. Well, he did challenge me

on the new stapler yesterday.

Good morning, ladies.

-Hey you want a cuppa? -Yeah. Thanks.

-Hi. -Oh, did you want

your sandwich early? I was just gonna pop it

-in the fridge till lunch. -Yeah.

No, no, no that's fine.

Bonnie, look, about yesterday, I--

-She'll learn from it. -Sorry?

Rachel. There's a lesson in all of this.

She'll learn from it. Just be careful

of the snake in the grass.

-The snake in the-- -Oh.

Someone close.

Slippedy wee.

Oh, pity I had to tell you.

You keep your eyes peeled.

Um, how long have you been doing this?

You know, seeing things?

See you.

I knew you'd want to hear more.

-Do you want a reading? -No. No, no.

Do you do readings?

-One on one? -Mm. I prefer it.

More personal. Better reception.

But be warned, it's not always good stuff.

And I tell it like I see it.

Tell you what,

let's do it now. Give us your ring.

[Julie] Oh, actually you know what?

No. Maybe another time.

Oh, when you're ready.

-I better get going. -[Bonnie] Okay.

Cheerio.

[Warney] Yes anyway, I'm in the left hand lane

and this bloke just comes out of nowhere.

[Nathan] What? He just came out of nowhere?

[Warney] Yeah.

Nearly takes out the two side panels

in the van.

Before I know it he's nearly mounted

this curb and then he just, he takes out this postbox.

It's unbelievable. Maniac.

Far out.

Hey, Warney, this is great. If we keep going at this rate

we might knock it off early.

Mate, don't get too ahead of yourself.

What do you mean?

Mate, I wouldn't go around announcing

early knockoffs. You might give

-the client false hope. -Yeah, but won't he be happy

if we finish the job early?

Yeah, but we're not gonna finish this today, mate.

Why not? I think we're making really good time.

Oh. Nathan, Nathan, Nathan,

you've got a lot to learn in the sparky industry, mate.

Just slow down the pace a bit.

It's better for the bank balance. Okay?

Classic trick of the trade.

You're gonna have to get your head around that

if you want a long career in the industry, okay?

Take it from your old mate Warney.

What's that there? Ooh. Ooh.

[Julie] I mean, you know, first I just...

I dismissed it all of course

but Rachel really does seem to be having

a crisis of confidence. And now all this, you know,

learn her lesson stuff, it's...

Yeah, well she was certainly right about a run in

-with the Prince of Darkness. -Oh, you poor thing.

Oh, I shouldn't have missed it.

It's entirely my fault.

-No, it isn't. -But you know what?

I've been going over and over the books

and everything points back to Warney.

-Warney? -[Chrissy] What,

are you surprised? The guy's a snake.

Well, when the invoices started to show discrepancies,

it suddenly all made sense.

He was crooked right up until the day he left.

Yeah, but still fifteen grand?

-What? -You think he's not capable

of it?

If I were you I'd get Nathan

to give Dave's books a once over.

Oh, no, no I'm sure there's nothing

-going on there. -Yeah.

Well, just call it a precautionary hunch.

I'm only telling you because I care.

Yeah I know. Yeah, all right, I'll--

I'll get onto him.

But then there it was.

Bonnie's snake in the grass.

-Could it really be Warney? -[Warney] Miss a wicket

or piss in the can.

[laughs]

So I piss in the can.

Just going to grab a few more beers.

[Warney] Yeah, yeah, good idea mate.

Well what else are they for eh?

-What happened to the can? -Well I had two.

I had one full of this and one full of that.

[laughter]

And I'd forgotten.

So how's the whole male bonding thing going?

Are you a man yet?

[Nathan] Um, yeah I'm getting there.

[laughs]

Everything all right?

Not sure.

It's just some, ah, weird things

that Warney was saying today.

Oh, what kind of weird?

Oh, no, no, not, no it was not that kind of weird.

It's just a work thing but I'm just not really sure

how dad would react, that's all.

Well are you going to tell him?

No, not yet. I'm just going to keep

a bit of an eye on Warney.

I thought you liked Warney.

I do.

[Julie] So, why would you need to keep an eye on him then?

Obviously none of my business.

-Hello. -Hi.

-Hi. -Nice day on the job?

Yeah, yeah I had a good time.

[Julie] And maybe I should've left it there.

Maybe I shouldn't have pushed.

I was wondering if it might be worth

Nathan giving the books a once over?

What for?

Well just to check that they're all in order.

Why wouldn't they be?

Well no they probably are.

It's just this... This shortfall of Chrissy's.

She thinks that maybe Warney

might be involved somehow.

Look, the guy did one stupid thing

borrowing Ron's equipment.

He paid the price, lost his job,

-end of story. -No there are dodgy

invoices, Dave, and Chrissy wouldn't make

something like that up.

I mean is there anything wrong with just giving

the finances the once over?

Yes, because I trust him.

He's becoming a mate.

Look, look I understand that Chrissy's been

caught out, she's looking for someone to blame.

-I just don't... -No, hey she's not looking

for someone to blame. She just wants an answer.

-It's not Warney. -How do you know that?

Because I trust him.

Well and I trust Chrissy.

All I'm saying is just dig a bit deeper, that's all.

No I don't want to. Trust me.

It's all fine.

Fine.

It's...

This wouldn't have anything to do with Warney

finding out about the pregnancy, would it?

No. No, of course not.

And I resent the implication.

He said you looked great.

He said I was old.

Ha, so it is that.

No, it's... Oh you know what?

Forget it. Just forget it.

Oh, whoever heard of a psychic

sandwich lady anyway?

Maybe I was taking things too far.

Stefano,

you cannot cancel on me today!

No it is today!

My entire school year are expecting you there.

What do you need a chemical peel for?

Please Stefano, please, mate.

I'm begging you.

All right great. Well thanks.

Thanks a lot. Thanks for nothing!

-[sighs] -[door closes]

[upbeat music playing]

Arguably buff.

Artistic?

No.

Stupid idea.

Hey, Carbo?

Get your hand out of there, Carbo.

These pants are itchy.

No they look great.

Right just be quiet and pay attention.

So I'm Miles?

No, Giles.

Giles, Carbo.

Not Guy.

Not Gill.

Giles. Right?

-Okay. -Hey and you work

-with me at CBM. -CBM.

[Rachel] Yep and you've been in advertising

for five years.

And you train with the Sydney Swans.

What?

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I'm going to kill Stefano when I see him.

Hey, hey, CBM.

You know, please tell me the C's for Carbo.

And am I the company director?

Carbo, your name isn't Carbo.

-It's Giles. -[Carbo] That's right.

Right, hey.

Right ideally

you won't be called upon to speak.

-Yeah but what if-- -[Rachel] But if someone

does decide to ask you a question

throughout the course of the afternoon,

just please try to make your answers

a tiny bit normal.

Brief.

Words with one syllable

and don't pick your bum.

[Janice] Rachel!

-[Rachel] Oh. -Hi!

Hi! [grunts]

This must be the gorgeous Giles.

Ah, yes Giles. I'm Giles.

-Sorry we were a bit late. -[Janice] Not at all.

Everyone's just starting to trickle in now.

[photographer] Smile!

You know you didn't say how spunky he was.

Putting the rest of the husbands to shame.

Oh we're not married.

Yet.

-Ah, where's Shane? -Not coming.

I'm so dark on him I can't tell you.

A last minute conference on the Gold Coast.

She made it.

Tarsha, over here!

[upbeat music playing]

Janice.

It's great to see you.

You look amazing.

Not as amazing as you.

Did you buy this in Paris? You must've.

Singapore airport actually.

It's beautiful. Isn't it?

Yeah it's... It's really beautiful.

Rachel Rafter.

You haven't changed a bit.

That's what I said.

Do you remember that night at the speech night

when you tucked her skirt into her undies?

[photographer] Tarsha, over here.

Oh, my God don't remind me.

I am so sorry about that, Rachel.

Ah we all move on.

You know, thousands of dollars of therapy later.

Move on.

-I was only kidding. -Oh.

Teenage girls can be nightmares,

can't they?

I guess we all grow up, don't we?

Hi, I'm Giles.

Rachel's boyfriend.

Yeah, Rachel and I work at CBM.

It's an advertising agency.

[Tarsha] I'm not sure I know it, sorry.

Isn't that Mark Antico?

[singer] ♪ Melt away... ♪

How full on is this turnout?

Hey Janice.

You've done a great job. Congrats.

[Janice] Oh, it was nothing.

Make sure you come and see me

at the year book table later on.

-Uh-huh. -I haven't seen you in years.

-How have you been? -Keeping myself busy.

[Tarsha] Keeping yourself out of trouble, you mean?

I try my best.

Hi, um, Mark,

I don't know if you remember me, it's--

Rachel, how could I forget?

I don't think we've spoken since the night

your dad almost had me arrested.

[laughs]

Well, we certainly had some crazy...

um, yeah.

Oh my God it's Sophie Passlow.

Back in a sec.

-[Rachel] Uh... -Trent, Trent Markovic.

[Carbo] Oh, this is going to be a walkover.

-Wow. -All right?

Are these all leftovers from yesterday?

Oh there's a few bits and pieces.

I might've popped past the deli this morning

just to grab some bread and fromage.

That's cheese. And stuff.

But there's a few truffle oil

infused mushrooms

and some saffron artichoke

and some leek frittata, but nothing fancy.

Well I am impressed.

Eat, eat.

I want to put the DVD on.

Oh what DVD did you get?

Juno.

I thought you said you never wanted to see Juno?

-No I didn't. -You did.

Remember I wanted to get it out that time

and you said it was "a stupid teenage chick

flick for sentimental losers"?

Doesn't sound like something I'd say.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we're watching it.

Good so why are we arguing?

Hey, no arguments here.

You all set?

Start her up.

[dramatic music playing]

[Janice] So how long have you and Rachel

-been together? -Three years.

Oh, but I thought you'd only been working

at CBM for the last two years?

Well we've only been together officially

for a year but we met at a conference

the year before that and--

And sparks flew, didn't they, hot stuff?

-Certainly did. -Well to be honest

the first thing that impressed me about Rachel

was her passion. You know we're both

really, really passionate about advertising.

She really knows her stuff.

And what campaigns

have you been working on, Giles?

Heaps of, uh, high profile campaigns.

Anything we know?

-Palmers Solutions. -Yeah. Hey...

That was one of yours, wasn't it, darling?

Oh, Palmers Solutions, God I loved that job.

You know wining and dining the customers and stuff.

You know, it really makes it feel

alive.

You know what I mean?

You make it sound really exciting.

[photographer] Hey Janice, smile!

It is. The way I do it anyway.

Changeover time at the yearbook table.

Giles, could you, um,

come and help me with something in a moment?

Sure. Happy to.

What the hell do you think you are doing?

Pull back, pull back or I'll kill you!

[upbeat music playing]

Normally I'd get Shane to help me out

with this type of thing but he couldn't make it.

-He's away on business. -Yeah you said.

For at least another fortnight.

-So is this right here? -That's the best thing

about school reunions, isn't it?

It's like a whole new set of rules.

For one day we're all teenagers again.

No one's married...

Nobody's got kids...

We're all just in it together,

one wild, sticky, mess.

What about Shane?

Who?

Janice?

I think the DJ needs to talk to you

about the speeches.

-Okay stop there. -What?

[Melissa] I can see what you're doing.

-You're pulling moves! -I am not.

No, has what I've said meant

absolutely nothing to you?

-Thanks for lunch. -You're not leaving?

[Melissa] I've got stuff to do.

But what about the movie?

Um, another time.

No problem.

Sorry, I didn't mean to snap before.

-No. -[Melissa] I know this

is a bit awkward.

I just think we need to take our time.

-You know? -Yeah look of course.

You're totally right.

You want to be wooed.

I thought that's what I was doing wooing you

but if you've got to go, you've got to go.

I get that.

Thanks, Ben. Thanks for understanding.

[door opens]

[door closes]

-[Chrissy] Jules? -[Julie] Oh hey.

-Just in time. -Don's fired me.

On a Sunday, would you believe?

-What? -You know

"in the current economic climate

with the global market",

oh some garbage.

But what, what because of the shortfall?

That's no reason to let you go.

Yeah it was "fiscally unacceptable",

-apparently. -But he's not the boss.

[Chrissy] Well he can use a phone.

He's spoken to Ron.

-The snake in the grass. -Look I understand.

I mean Ron's got a right to be angry--

[Julie] No, not Ron. Warney.

Oh, Jules how can I point the finger at Warney?

I mean as far as Ron's concerned,

I've already spent the fifteen g's

on shoes and Chanel.

I... I could talk to him.

Oh, there's no point. You know what Ron's like.

I've stuffed up, I'm going to have to wear it.

Hey, um,

what did Nathan make of Dave's books?

Ah...

Well has he had a look over there?

Oh, uh I, you know what,

I don't think he's gotten around to it yet.

Did you tell him that I think

Warney's a potential liability?

Chrissy, it's just that Dave's a bit...

sensitive about Warney.

And he thinks I'm just some idiot

-who's making all of this up? -No, no.

What, he thinks what happened at Barrett's is my fault,

-that I took that money? -No, no of course not.

Well if he's backing Warney in this,

that's pretty much what it sounds like.

-Chrissy. I mean he's-- -Oh God.

-He's just... Chrissy-- -[Chrissy] I've got to go.

Have you got a second?

Oh, sure yeah. Hi.

Listen, I don't want to be indiscreet.

It's really none of my business,

but...

Go on.

Giles. He's starting

to crumble somewhat.

[Carbo] That's what they call me.

The pitch-meister.

Anything you want to know about pitching,

talk to me.

I just thought I should let you know

in the spirit of...

something.

Apology, I guess.

Is it that obvious?

Sorry.

Somehow your friend and advertising-speak,

not a good fit.

Maybe you should drag him out of here

before it's too late.

Yeah.

I just oh...

thank you. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

[Carbo] And you know what? That's the number one rule.

Grab them and don't let go. Remember that, ladies.

The number one rule in any campaign

-grab them and don't let... -Giles, over here please.

I've got these chicks hanging out of my hands.

-Are you serious? -Yes.

You are lucky I'm not stabbing you

in the throat right now.

What? No one suspects a thing.

Oh, a trained monkey could've done

a better job than you today.

All that talk about being some big shot

advertising executive,

you have completely embarrassed yourself

and you have embarrassed me.

Look what do you care what these people think?

Yeah? They don't care about you.

-They don't know you. -Look I just care...

I care because I care, okay?

Look at this, look at this, look at this.

[Rachel] And just as suddenly as it had vanished,

Rachel's confidence returned.

Carbo was right.

Who cared what any of these people thought.

Who were they anyway?

Why give them the power?

Okay look I just want to say I'm really sorry about--

Don't worry about it, Rach. I had a great time.

No, Carbo. Some of the things I said to you were--

Look you were stressed, okay? And you didn't mean them.

Yeah, but you were doing me a big favor,

the most massive favor ever

and I acted like a total jerk.

I'm really sorry and I owe you big time.

Rachel look,

I know you might've thought you needed some bloke

on your arm at that thing tonight,

but you really didn't.

And you're sweet, you know that?

So I suppose a second date's out of the question?

-Yep. -Right.

[door closes]

Uh-huh.

Enjoying it while you can, huh?

Mm, well I generally don't feel like it

-in the morning. -[chuckles]

-How are you feeling? -Ah well I'm not sure

that my feet are going to thank me tomorrow.

What? You went dancing?

"Too cool for school, Rachel"?

Yeah, Carbo and I went

and we actually had a really good time.

Hang on, okay. Hang on, what was Carbo doing there?

Oh, he was pretending to be Giles.

-Giles? -You know my...

-Oh. -Incredibly athletic,

advertising, Sydney Swans training boyfriend?

Rachel...

It didn't matter, mom.

None of it really mattered.

Yeah, but why?

You know you've got so much going for you.

Why bother inventing add-ons?

Well I guess I just wanted them

to see me the way I see myself

and for some reason myself just didn't seem

like it was going to be enough for them.

-Oh. -But stuff it.

That's their problem, not mine.

Mm. Mm.

-Mm. -Goodnight.

Goodnight darling.

[Rachel] Mm, hi, daddy.

How was your night?

Let's just say I learnt my lesson.

[Bonnie] There's a lesson in all of this.

She'll learn from it.

-You all right? -She learnt her lesson.

-Yeah I know, I heard. -No she, she...

Bonnie's hit rate was verging on scary.

Did I really want to hear what else she had to tell me?

Have you had a chance to go over the books lately?

-Why? Is there a problem? -No, no not at all.

Just you know thought they might be

worth a once over.

Right well we're not due to go through the books

-for another month. -Ah well

it can't hurt to go in a bit early, can it?

I guess not. Mom, can you...

Can you please tell me is there something going on?

-No, no. Everything's fine. -[Nathan] Mm.

Just humor me.

And maybe don't tell your dad for now.

Well, now I know that there's something going on.

There's nothing going on.

Stop making this seem so cloak and dagger.

-It is cloak and dag-- -Shh! Just...

You want me to go through the books

but you don't want me to tell dad?

Not yet.

Is it about Warney?

Why would you say that?

Just a hunch.

So what I need you to do is to move that

to the fifteenth. Is that possible?

-Yeah. -Yeah?

Thank you.

I've five minutes early, Don. Keep your hair on.

[Don] I know.

Good.

I spoke to Uncle Ron last night.

And how is he?

Good.

Although he was laid up with gastroenteritis

after eating bad shellfish.

Avoid shellfish, I'd say.

The decision to terminate Ms. Merchant's employment--

Chrissy.

Her name's Chrissy.

--was not taken lightly.

Hope this doesn't affect our work relations.

You look pale.

Do you want to have that reading now?

Ah, look just...

just first tell me

that the baby's going to be okay.

Well there's no problems that I can see.

You're going to have a baby, Julie,

that you'll love with all your heart.

Okay. I'm ready.

A little information can be a dangerous thing.

[Bonnie] I see a wedding.

Heartache for someone.

Oh yeah, pain.

Terrible pain.

And a separation.

Someone in the family's going to have an affair.

Maybe even divorce.

And the family will grow, not just the baby,

more family.

You think your house is crowded now.

Just you wait, Julie Rafter.

Just you wait.

[Julie]No what had I started?

What was I even thinking listening to Bonnie?

-[Ben] Hey mom? -Hm?

Mom, where are the spuds?

Here.

Hold that thought.

Hey. Hey, hey. Potatoes! Potatoes!

[Julie vomiting]

Yay!
