[theme music playing]

[Rachel]Our family has always been

very big on lists.

Oh, there you are.

I thought maybe we could have
lunch today if you're free?

Oh, I'm catching up
with Libby.

I'm sorry
I don't know how long I'll be.

Oh, but I've got this.

Things to do
before the baby arrives,

spend one on one time
with Rachel, Ben, and Nathan.

There's ages to go yet.

Yeah, and time
is of the essence.

-That's my point.
-[Rachel] Visit Rome?

We are talking Roma
in Queensland?

No. Rome, Italy.

Right. Yup. You've got
some major plans here.

Yes and spending time
with my children's

the most important.

Okay, well, look I've just got

to send off some emails,

but I promise you
we will spend

some one on one
quality time next week.

Or not. As the case may be.

Fine.

Hey what do you think
of Sasha for a boy?

Ah, perfect
if we're living in a gulag.

Mum always says
a list makes life simple.

But when does it stop
being practical

and start
limiting your choices?

[Ben]
G'day Rach. Nathan around?

[Rachel]Nathan's list was simple.

Conquer the world,
conquer the world,

conquer the world
and then move on to Tuesday.

So the interview is tomorrow?

Yeah and I don't want
to look like a wanker.

No offence.

None taken.

Yeah I, I need to make
a good impression

'cause I really,
I want this job.

Well in that case you need
to have a plan of attack.

First of all be on time.

Well, what loser
doesn't know that?

Eye contact.
Ben very important,

maintain eye contact
at all times.

You know what, speak slowly.

Try not to say "um"
even if you have to pause

and think about
what you're trying to say.

It's better than saying "um".

I think you should probably
grab a piece of paper

and write this down.

-No I don't do lists.
-Lists?

No who's talking lists.
This is a battle plan.

I think
you should wear this one.

Yeah. Oh, and make sure
that you ask questions.

Good questions,
interesting questions.

I... You should...
I really think

you should grab a piece
of paper and write this down.

Oh, my God!
Ben check this out!

Check this out!

Rachel
are you internet dating?

Nathan, get lost.

No, no don't,
don't be embarrassed

it's not just for losers
these days.

Except someone forgot
to tell him that.

Oh, check out
Rachel's new boyfriend.

Do the words "idle curiosity"

-mean anything to you guys.
-What's going on?

Rachel's looking for love
on the internet.

Say it any louder.

I don't think
they heard you in Brisbane.

Hey what about him?
Is he Amish?

Are they allowed
to have computers?

Stop it. Both of you.

No, no. What about this guy.

I am so sick of meeting
stuck up cows.

Well you should
email him Rachel.

-He sounds like fun.
-[Sammy] Nathan.

There is nothing wrong
with internet dating.

-No, I wasn't internet...
-Rachel should be applauded

for putting herself out there.

-Oh, my God! That's Monique.
-No, no, no.

[Sammy] It's Monique.

-How embarrassing.
-No, no.

I cannot believe this.

-What a loser!
-All right. Yeah, enjoy.

Okay "successful, ambitious,
hottie seeks same".

Enjoy children
I have to get to work.

She'll die
when she knows I know.

[Libby]
Oh, Rach, you don't have

to humiliate yourself
like that.

If I'd known you were looking

you could have come
to dinner last night.

There was a guy there, Andy,
he'd be perfect for you.

Except maybe for the fact
he's only nineteen.

Although he's very mature
for his age.

Oh, great why don't
we just start trawling

through the high schools
and be done with it.

[Libby] No Rach.

I could totally set you up
if you want me to.

I don't do blind dates.

Especially not with infants.

[Jake] Mine.

[Rachel] Oh!

Although if something like
that was to turn up.

What the hell are you doing?

We're in the middle
of a game here.

You want to move it or you'll
get your head kicked in.

Oh!

[man]
I think she likes you mate.

No brains and contact sport.

What a brilliant
combination that is.

If they just kept
their mouths closed

-they'd be perfect.
-Oh!

Which brings me back
to my former position

on blind dating.

No.

I mean all I'm really
looking for...

Well he has to have a brain.

Always helpful.

And he just needs to be
passionate about something.

As long as it's not yoga
or pharmaceuticals.

Yeah and as far as looks go
I don't really have a type.

Okay, good. That helps.

But he needs to be sexy.

You know weight
in proportion to height.

No short guys.

You know preferably five-ten.

Make that six foot.

And I do really like
dark hair.

But apart from that
you're not picky at all.

No apart from that
I am very open.

I have the perfect man.

Marcus.

He's fantastic. He's gorgeous.

He just came back from Cuba.

You're gonna love him.

Well, if he's so fantastic

where have you been hiding him
all this time?

I told you. Havana.

All right.

[Nathan] Now remember
the most important thing is?

-Yes, eye contact.
-[Nathan] That's right. Yes.

Let me look at you.

Hey mate, you've been spending

way too much time alone
with the tulips.

[Nathan]
Now, say it with me Benno.

The job is mine.

Wish me luck okay.

[Nathan]
You don't even need it.

Can I just say whatever
you're selling, I'm buying.

Tim's going to have
his socks knocked off.

-So break a leg.
-[Nathan] Thanks.

Oh, Ben, ah,
remember eye contact

and make sure you ask
interesting questions.

Yeah, you kick
some butt today to, okay?

-Good luck.
-Good luck.

Thank you.

Ah there you go, love.

I know it's always a bit
strange on your first day.

But luckily I hear
the natives are friendly.

[Chrissy]
Oh, thanks Jules but listen

I don't want you making
a habit of this okay.

I'm not the guest anymore.

I'm the employee.

Okay. Hey listen thanks again

for this book
of baby names too.

I've been going
through it all weekend.

[Dave]
Yeah, we're naming our kid

after a kitchen
spray apparently.

-Sorry?
-Oh, Ajax.

Actually while
I've got a second opinion.

What do you think
of the name Atticus?

Atticus Rafter.
Sounds noble don't you think?

[Dave] Look we've got
plenty of time to talk

about that
down the track okay.

Yeah I'm not jinxing it.

I just feel like
I need to have

everything under control.

And speaking of which I've got
to be in Denham Street

in about half an hour.

Anything else
you want to go through?

No, I think
I've got it covered.

Oh, actually yes, um,
there is one thing.

Um...

Is she going to be there all
year or does the girl change?

No it's just the two of you.

You're going
to have to fight it out.

Now I thought that
I could start by going out

and talking
to all the vendors personally.

Just so that they can put
a face to the name.

Then I thought that
I'd go through the database

and make a few phone calls.

Just so I know
who's in the market. Now...

You know what Natho,
how about we start off

a little bit less
ambitious, eh?

It's Nathan.

[Tim] Ah before we get started

would you mind
making me a cup of coffee?

-You would like a...
-Coffee.

Everything you need's
in the kitchen.

Oh, sorry.

Can't expect you
to be a mind reader.

Milk with one.
And ah not too strong,

-thanks.
-Yep.

[Rachel] Nathan's list
for the day definitely

included the word "instant"

but gratification,
not coffee.

Ben and lists?

Eat, sleep, check out girls.

Stuff around.

Eat a bit more.

Maybe that was
all about to change.

-G'day mate, I'm Ben.
-Fergus.

You work here, do you?

Yeah, in the bar.

[Fergus]
You ever been a manager?

No. Not really. Not yet.

Yeah, it was the first job
I ever had.

I was there
for half a day and bullya

they had me running the place.

So you think you've got
a shot at this job, do you?

Yeah. Sure, why not?

I mean I know the place.
I know how it runs.

Yeah.
Badly from what I've seen.

Anyway good luck with it all.

It's nice to have a dream
I suppose.

Fergus. Ben.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Goodo! Oh, please sit down.

Sit down I just wanted to have

a personal chat with you both.

Now I've been
going over your CV's

and well you're both looking
pretty good for it.

Fergus...

you, you seem to have an awful
lot of experience here.

Yeah I'm not surprised
you'd say that Derek.

I mean no offence
to my mate Bill here...

Yeah, it's Ben. My name's Ben.

[Fergus] But the first day
I ever walked

into a pub mate that was it.

I got the gig.
I was the manager.

I know what I'm doing.

And I know what to do
to turn this place around.

I mean I'm not saying
that you're running it

badly yourself.
I'm just saying

you know there are always
improvements you can make,

you know, get the cash
really flowing in here.

Hey, I've been learning MYOB.

And I just...
I just want to say

that I'm ready to take
on this responsibility Derek.

And I've been here for years.

And I've been ready for years.

You put me in charge
you've only got to worry

about one thing, how to spend
all that extra cash.

Right.

Well,
I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll give you both a shot
at running the place.

One of you can do
Tuesday night,

the other Wednesday night.

What this... this week?

Mmm-hmm.

When you say you'll see
how we go,

if the revenue's up that night

that'll obviously
swing in our favor?

[Derek]
Ah yeah. Well I certainly

won't be complaining
about any extra cash.

Right who,
who gets what night?

Ah well we'll toss for it?

Fergus?

Ah, heads.

Heads it is. What night?

I'll take Wednesday night.

Gives me a bit more time
to prepare.

Lucky for me I won't need it.

Mate. How the hell
am I going to pull this off?

It's tomorrow night?

Who goes out
on a Tuesday night?

No one.
It's the best night on TV.

-Jelly wrestling.
-What?

Mate you want
to pull the easy dollars,

-there you have it.
-No.

It's jelly, it's wrestling.
Where's the problem?

My granddad goes to this club.

And yes I want
to make a bit of money

but it's got to be something

that will appeal
to a mass audience.

-Wet t-shirt competition.
-Oh, yeah,

'cause unlike jelly
that's not offensive at all.

Okay. You don't want
my suggestions that's fine.

I've got flowers to deliver.

Trivia. That's what I'll do.

Trivia what?

It's cheap,
everyone gets a go.

No one get offended
and it's perfect.

The punters are happy,
Derek's happy

and at the end of it all
I get the job.

[upbeat music playing]

[Rachel]
Do I need more lipstick?

[Libby] No.

He's late.

He's probably
decided not to come.

He's here.

Where?

Him?

Told you I was good at this.

-Hey you.
-How are you?

[Libby] Long time no see.

Marcus this is Rachel.

-Yeah. Hi.
-Hi.

[Rachel] Maybe mum is right.

A list is all about deciding

what you want
and going for it.

Cuba? What can I say,

just terrible infrastructure.

No air-conditioning.
Potholes everywhere.

-It was just a nightmare.
-Oh.

A friend of mine
went to Havana

and they did Spanish classes
in the morning

and salsa dancing
in the afternoon

and they stayed in this
amazing colonial hotel.

Um, yeah anyway I'm jealous.

It must have been
an amazing trip.

I wouldn't rush back there
anytime soon.

Have you got
any other holidays planned?

No, not at the moment.

I've still got to pay
for this one. So...

Yeah.

Um, Libby said
you're in marketing?

-Yeah.
-That must be interesting.

[Marcus] Well,
it's like anything I suppose.

It has its moments.

Yeah.

It certainly does.

-[Dave] There you go.
-Oh. Thank you.

And look I promise
that this is not

-going to become a habit.
-Here's to your first day.

-Oh, thanks.
-Hey. Sammy,

you don't have to do that.

Oh, it's fine,
I've got the time.

You just sit there
and, um, enjoy

your non-alcoholic beverage.

Well, no actually
a herbal remedy for nausea

that's working.

I mean I still have
to run to the toilet

every half an hour
but thankfully not to vomit.

Long may it last.

I hope he didn't work you
too hard today.

Oh, no, on the contrary
I don't think he had time

to stop for lunch.

I'm sorry if the schedule
was a bit tight.

No. I'm not complaining
about the work.

I just hope we can find
someone to replace Warney.

Oh, yeah, we had two guys
who were supposed to come

for interviews today
and neither of them showed up.

Oh, tradesman.

So unreliable.

-There you are.
-Hey how did it go?

Yeah your first day too,
how was it?

[Chrissy] Yeah it had
better have gone well

because I'm getting
very comfortable around here,

just so you know.

I don't think
you've got anything

to worry about, Chrissy.
It was great.

It was everything
I could have hoped for.

[Julie] Oh, good. Oh, Nathan,

I was wondering
if maybe you and I

could catch a movie
this weekend?

Ah, yeah sure I'll,
I'll check my diary.

Ah.

Sounded promising.

So how did it really go?

Well, On the bright side
I think I can finally say

that I've mastered
the art of instant coffee.

Oh, well maybe Tim's
just easing you in gently.

It's not like
I don't know what I'm doing.

So give him a chance
to see that.

Of course
he's got to be cautious.

He doesn't know
whether he can trust you yet.

It's not
what I hoped for, Sam.

Oh, I know.

Just give it time.

Okay.

-So Finland was?
-Cold.

-And Sweden?
-Cold.

Norway. Denmark.
They're all cold.

I read in the winter,

in Helsinki sometimes
they get polar bears

just wandering
down the streets.

Urban legend.

I didn't see any.

But the Northern Lights
are beautiful, right?

I mean that must
have been worth it?

I didn't see them.

-Can I get you another one?
-No.

I actually have to work really
early in the morning.

Me too. I've got
a huge deadline at the moment.

Oh, me too.

It can get crazy can't it?

[Marcus] It sure can.

Well,
it was lovely to meet you.

You too. We should do
this again sometime.

Yeah, yeah definitely.

And the thing is on paper
he seemed perfect.

He was everything I thought
I ever wanted in a guy.

Marcus is a nice name,
isn't it?

But in person the spark,
it just wasn't there.

Not for him
and definitely not for me.

And he was such a downer
on everything.

I mean it, it's,
it's sort of more refined

than just plain old Mark but
it's not really pooncy either.

-I like it.
-[clears throat]

Oh, sorry darling I, I am,
no I'm listening. I am.

Right it's just,
well look chemistry it,

it's a random thing.

You never know
where you're going to find it.

[Rachel] Oh, great.

My new baby brother's
going to be named

after the guy who didn't want
to go out with me.

Oh.

Hey what's this?

Oh, that's ah Ben's trivia
night tomorrow night.

And we're all going
and that includes you missy.

Sure why not.

It's not like I've got
anything better to do.

[Nathan]
Here we go. White with one.

Not too strong.

I am sorry
we're all out of biscuits.

Actually mate I've got to duck
out and do an appraisal.

An appraisal great.
I'll come with you.

Ah no, look
I can handle this one myself.

How about you keep on
with the call backs

-from the weekend.
-Yes.

The thing is Tim I know
that I'm the new boy.

-Second day.
-I know that.

[Tim] I tell you what.
This was always

going to be different
to your mob in the city.

Around here we walk
before we can...

Run. Hmm.

I just feel like
I'm not being put to good use.

That's, that's how I feel.

Right well how about you
get on with those call backs.

That is what I need you to do.

So I was thinking maybe this
weekend we could grab a bite.

Or even go bowling.

Mum I really can't deal
with this right now.

Oh, what is so wrong with me

wanting to spend time
with my children?

Hey this isn't you trying
to back out of tonight, is it?

No, no of course not.
We're there.

Well except for granddad,

he said to say sorry
but he's busy.

So if you're going to be there
and I'm going to be there

then I guess that counts
as us spending time together.

No. I meant just you and me.

[Carbo] All gone mate.

Every single letterbox in the
district has got your flyer.

[Ben] Awesome. Thanks mate.

Mum, I'm really sorry
but I just...

Yeah but you want me to go.
All right.

Oh, I've just got
lots of work to do.

Well you know
if you wrote it all down.

-It, it's up here, okay?
-All right.

I'll see you tonight.
Bye Carbo.

-See you Mrs. Rafter.
-Great.

Now all we've got to do
is write the questions.

I reckon we do a whole mix.

Sports, movies, politics,

actually you'd better
grab the laptop

'cause I think I'm going
to need the internet.

Hey did you get Mel's message?

No, why?

It was on the machine.

Well, she can keep calling.

Ah, Benno mate I know
what you're trying to do

-but it never works.
-What?

You want to keep Mel hanging.

You want her to be the one
doing all the chasing.

Treat 'em mean,
keep 'em keep but...

You have got no idea.

My top priority right now
is getting this job.

I can deal
with all the rest later.

-So not even a pash?
-No.

But when I suggested
calling it a night

he looked so relieved

he probably
should have kissed me.

But you and Marcus
you are perfect.

Apparently not.

Maybe you just
didn't drink enough.

Lib, free run
of the entire wine cellar

would not have helped.

The spark
it just wasn't there.

What are you doing?

Well you know
what they say about bikes.

Oh, now there's a comparison
I always enjoy.

[Libby] Okay what about a guy
who's divorced but no kids?

No I'm back to thinking that
blind dates are a bad idea.

But he's really lovely.

-How old?
-Thirty-nine.

No.

Okay, how about a man
who's bald?

No.

The thing is last time
we punted up a guy

who you thought was perfect,

maybe you need to be
a bit more broad minded.

Yeah I will be.

So long as he's got hair.

And anyway who are you to
lecture me on being shallow.

I have the depth of a puddle,
correct,

which is why I am
perfectly qualified

to call you on the same thing.

Oh, Richie.

He's smart, he's funny,
very good looking. Very tall.

And you know what they say

about those extra
couple of inches.

-Yeah but...
-Am I making this call?

Or am I making this call.

Yeah, yeah it's on tonight
at the Boat Club.

Look I'll save you a seat.

I hope
she like her succulents?

Mate the things some blokes
want to say with flowers,

-barely legal.
-[Ben] Shhh!

Mate I don't want to hear it.

Two hours 'til kick off

and I've only got
thirty-eight questions.

How many faces has
a dodecahedron?

Shut up mate.
I've got to concentrate...

Easy. Twelve.

How do you know that?

Dodeca, it's Greek.

-You didn't know it was Greek?
-No.

Mate I'm, I'm drowning here.

I've been slaving
my bum off all day

and I'm getting nowhere.

Benno, okay I know this is
a big deal for you mate

but you've got to take
a deep breath.

Think about your heart.

You know can't overdo
these things right.

All right now listen to me

the way I see
it you've got two options.

One you can cheat,
just go grab a quiz book

-and copy down the questions.
-No, no, no

I want to make this
fair and square.

Make it original
and out there, you know.

Okay. Option two
I'll lend you a hand.

You? You what, what do you
know about anything?

Cars and flowers.

Okay how about this.

What is the engine capacity,

in kilowatts,

of an HK GTS 327 Monaro?

-You know the answer to that?
-Sure I do.

Say that again.

What is the engine capacity...

-Oh, yes, this is good.
-Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[Nathan] I know.
I know I'm running late.

But don't worry
I wouldn't miss

Ben's trivia extravaganza.

I was just going to say
I'm surprised.

I thought you couldn't wait
to get out of the office.

So does this mean you actually
had a good day at work then?

No.
But I do have a cunning plan.

There was a couple who came to
an open house on the weekend

and they're really interested

but they'd have to sell
their place first.

So I'm going to go around
there and do an appraisal

-first thing tomorrow morning.
-Great.

And Tim's cool with that?

Tim doesn't know.

Trivia night, eh?

Well good luck with it.

Yeah it got the punters
in last time.

It should really go off.

Hey Benno. G'day mate.
Did you call all your rels?

Did you call everyone
you've ever met in your life?

Mate I've been
on the phone all day.

Don't worry, we're going
to pack this joint out.

-Yeah.
-You really think so?

Oh, it's going to go off.

There was another
message from Mel.

Why didn't you call her
back the first time?

-I already told you.
-No, you didn't.

You avoided the question.

Look just leave it, Carbo.

Why don't you just call her
and let her know

you'll call her back later.

That's the dumbest thing
I've ever heard.

Why would I do that?

I'm just saying
it's a fine line.

You don't want
to push her away.

I've got to get
the microphone.

Righto well if the questions
are about hairspray

or muscle cars we're laughing.

Otherwise don't look at me.

Yeah. Well Ben's the one
writing the questions.

It's not like
they're going to be hard.

Oh, that's your son
you're talking about.

And I know him well.
That's all I'm saying.

[Julie] Oh, good,
there you are.

-What do you think?
-Gorgeous.

It's a little over dressed
for the Boat Club.

But Mum I'm going on a date.

Oh, no, no, no.

Rachel you promised
you'd be there.

He doesn't need us all there.

Yeah, but look
this is a big night for Ben

and he needs our support.

We are going
to meet you guys there.

Chrissy, do you want a lift?

Yes. Thank you.

Why don't you
just invite this guy

-to the trivia night?
-[Julie] Yeah.

-Dad.
-What?

Rachel there's a guy
called Richie here for you.

Did you meet him
on the internet?

-Rachel.
[Rachel] Hi.

Hi.

I wasn't expecting
a welcoming committee.

Sorry it kind of goes with
the territory around here.

Hi Richie. I'm Julie.
I'm Rachel's mother.

Lovely to meet you.
Do you like trivia?

-Mum.
-G'day Dave.

-I'll see you in the car.
-Okay.

It's just that
Rachel's brother's organized

a trivia night and he'll be
devastated if she's not there.

Well, if you really
want to go.

-Oh, no, no, no. I don't.
-She does.

She's just
too polite to say anything.

-Well, I kind of like trivia.
-Oh!

[Richie] In fact back
when I was at Uni

and I'm sounding like
a major geek here, but...

But you were a champion?

-I was.
-Oh!

I'm guessing
I've killed my chances.

-No. No.
-No. Oh, definitely not.

No.

Richie it's a nice name,
isn't it?

Okay Mum we're coming.
Stop pushing it.

[Julie] Okay.

Richie. Yeah.

[upbeat music playing]

All I wants a beer, mate.

-Oh!
-Sorry.

Don't you ever watch
where you're going?

Anyone missing a broomstick?

Reckon I'd know
where we'd find one.

-Back off mate.
-Did it work?

Well, obviously your
self-esteem is so pathetically

challenged that you feel
the need to bolster

at every opportunity
you can get.

So I'm just wondering
did it work?

[laughing]

Good luck mate.

I reckon you're going
to need a drink.

Yeah or, or just some manners.

Which luckily he has.

Oh, sorry about that.

That guy nearly crash tackled
me in the park the other day.

You've got to give him points
for trying I suppose.

Oh, are we a bit early?

Ah no. No, no.

Just people are probably
running a bit late from work.

Yeah, mate,
the place will fill up soon.

[Carbo] Don't worry Benno.

You just say the word
and I'll get rid of him.

So mate what time, um,
does it all kick off?

I'm just playing it
a bit by ear.

Whatever
the, the, punters want.

That's what I always say.

You might need a few of them,
in that case.

What happened
to all your mates?

I thought you said all of
Greece would be here tonight.

They're stuck in traffic.

[Julie] Um, darling, don't
worry it's going to be fine.

Yeah in half an hour
the place will be packed.

Yeah.

And now for the next question.

If you were born
in the month of August

what would be
your birth flower?

It was my question.
This one's mine.

There's two possible answers
to this one.

Bonus points
if you get them both.

I know this one. I know it.

The gladiolus and the poppy.

Oh, it is official
you are gay.

-You have to be.
-My aunty's a florist.

So am I. I'm a florist too.

-Well, almost.
-Hey hands off Carbo.

This one's mine.

I like the sound of that.

Yeah me too.

Oh. Hey. Hey.

They're getting along
really well.

Well, at least tonight
won't be a total disaster.

Oh.

Okay I'd like to thank you
all for coming.

I could do it personally.

It probably
wouldn't take very long.

Anyway we do have
a winning team tonight.

Richie and Rachel.

Congratulations.

[cheers and applause]

That's two free meals
on the house

courtesy of the Boat Club.

Congratulations.

Well, I couldn't have done it
without my partner here.

Oh, he's lying.

I was absolutely
no help at all.

[Julie] Oh, okay.

[Carbo] Oh, wow, look at that.

That's not really necessary.

Ah darling
we did have a great time.

Yeah the questions
were very entertaining.

Bum's on seats.
That's all that counts.

Oh, it was good.
I'll see you at home.

[Richie] We really
should get out of here.

Yeah.

See you Benny.

Is it finished already?

Melissa.
What are you doing here?

Carbo invited me.

Ah. Well you're too late.

And ah this is it,

a real crowd puller aren't I?

Oh, well maybe everyone got
the wrong night or something.

Yeah, maybe. Who knows.

Listen, I've got to get back
cleaning up.

So I'll speak to you later,
okay.

Benno, what are you...

What the hell do you think
you're doing inviting Mel?

You told me to invite
every person I met in my life.

Great, so the only one that
shows up is my ex-girlfriend?

-So?
-You are so stupid.

Why do you think
I didn't call her back?

'Cause I wanted to land
this job first

so that I had something
to tell her.

Something to show her,
be a winner for once.

-You didn't tell me...
-And now she's seen me

looking like this.
Like a total idiot.

-Thanks for nothing.
-Benno. Ben...

Just so you know
we're going back to your place

-and not mine.
-Oh, yeah.

Oh, what's that?

What?

Did you walk in mud?

[Rachel] Um, I don't know.

No, but there's a footprint
right there.

Oh, who cares.

I just had the car cleaned.

Oh, here let me
take your mind off it.

Well no, if I don't fix
this up right now

the stain could be there
forever.

Okay. Right. Just to be clear.

I am offering to go home
with you

and all you can think about
is mud.

There's a dust buster
in the boot.

It'll just take a minute.

I... I promise.

Rachel a minute.

Rachel.

[Libby]
There is nothing wrong

with being neat and tidy.

[Rachel]
Oh, so let him go home

and get it on
with the vacuum cleaner then.

In fact
I bet he probably does.

[Libby] Alright fine.

So we're adding to the list

you want a guy
who's a complete slob.

No. Two lattes thank you.

Then what's wrong with Richie?

I don't want
a complete anything.

I don't want him
to be obsessive.

I mean seriously
housework or love action?

Now for most guys
that is a no brainer.

You know what I think
the trouble is.

The fact that you think
I'm going to let you

set me up again?

You need to be more open.

You have all these ideas

about what's right,
what's not right.

Huh! This coming from a girl

who rejected a guy
based on his facial hair.

He looked like Ivan Milat.

And besides
we've already established

that I am shallow.

But you're better
than me Rachel.

I am not going on
anymore blind dates Libby.

Okay. Okay. One last try.

-No.
-Well, he's fun.

And he's interesting.

Oh, come on, one drink.

I promise that
you will like him.

[knocks on door]

[Carbo] Mate are you awake?
It's after 1:00.

Benno?

[Ben] What?

[Carbo] Nothing.

You know I was just checking
to make sure.

Make sure I'm not playing
with razor blades.

Look I'm sorry about Mel.
Really.

It doesn't matter.

[Carbo] Look you might
still get to call her.

Look you never know what's
going to happen tonight eh?

I mean that Fergus dude
could totally stuff things up.

Like I did.

Hey this list is getting
longer and longer. Maddox.

[Julie] Yeah well like I said,

the book's coming in
very handy.

[Chrissy] Oh, good.

It was just gathering dust
at my place.

Oh, that sounds terrible.

I suppose I was re-gifting.

It was your book?

Yeah but it's not like
I'm ever going to need it.

Oh, don't say that.

I know it didn't happen with
Greg but you're still young.

The plumbing doesn't work,
Jules.

Well there's IVF.

Do you know what
the success rate is at my age?

Probably a lot higher than
the chance of someone my age

getting knocked up again.

Even so there is
a tincy problem

of having to meet a man first.

I want you to have
the book okay.

Okay.

I'm fine. Some things
just aren't meant to be.

Anyway, I've seen how often
you go to the toilet.

I might not have kids

but I'll always have
bladder control.

[Julie]
Yeah and let's face it,

you look fantastic
in a bikini.

Exactly. And we wouldn't want
to mess with that, would we?

Hey I was just about to send
out a search party for you.

[Nathan] I'm sorry Tim,
I got caught up with a client.

[Tim] Oh, yeah, who's client?

[Nathan] Well, when I did
my callbacks yesterday

I spoke to a couple who were
interested in the property.

But for them to buy they would
need to exchange contracts

on their current property
first.

Hang on Nath,
though just back up there

-for a minute will you.
-[Nathan] And on top of that

they're going overseas
next week.

So if it was all gonna happen
that was our timeframe.

Right.
Well, why didn't you tell me.

I mean
if we've got a client, me.

I'm the one you tell.

Yes because I'd already
built up a rapport.

So it just felt like
I should be the one

that followed through.

No, it wasn't
your decision to make.

You would have said, "no" Tim.

That's why I chose
to go behind your back. But...

-Right.
-[Nathan] ...I am... I...

I am ready to take on some
responsibility around here.

I am.

Nathan, it is not the way
we do things around here.

I don't want clients
getting the impression

that we're a bunch of cowboys.

That's...
That's not the impression

-I intend to give them.
-Oh, is that right.

By the end of next week

they are going to think
this is the best deal

they have ever done.

And so will you.

Yes, well,
you'd better hope so.

And in the meantime it's still
your job to answer that.

-Alright.
-[Tim] Good.

So what happened to Richie?

Oh! Sadly he turned out
to be a bit of a freak.

Do I even want to know?

[Rachel] Well apparently
he really likes to clean.

Oh. Well if you don't
marry him I will.

I heard that.

Okay I'll see you guys later.

I thought you were having
dinner with your Mum tonight?

Apparently not.

Ah sorry.
Mystery man awaits.

[Julie] Well,
it seems my children

are doing everything they can

to avoid spending time
with me.

They just lead busy lives,
that's all.

Actually no scratch that.
That's two definite no's

the other one can't even be
bothered to check his diary.

-Jules.
-[Julie] In fact

in terms of my list

the trip to Rome's looking
a whole lot more likely.

Although,
once the baby's born

I'm going to be too tired

and then too busy
and then too old.

And then it'll never happen
because I'll be dead.

The kids love you.
You know that.

It's just the hormones
talking.

I know.

But aren't I allowed
to be a little bit upset?

[sighs]

[upbeat music playing]

[Camel] Oi! Show us your tits?

How original.

Cut it out Camel.

[Rachel] Take a good look.

It'd be a bit different
to the blow up doll

you're used to.

Yeah less inflation,
that's for sure.

[Rachel] Shoot me
if I ever end up

with someone like that.

Hi um, Max?

Sorry, I'm so sorry the train
was running late and...

Rachel.

You're Max?

And you're Rachel.

Yes. Hi.

God I hate blind dates.

I told Libby that.

Yeah, me too.

Whooo! I can smell the garlic
half way down the street.

[Dave] Well,
before you come any further

I'm going to have to ask
do you have a passport?

[Julie] Ah no, funnily enough
the standards around here

have never usually been
that high.

Because you know they're never
going to let you into Rome

without one.

Is that what this is?

Oh, darling, you're so sweet.

Or some might say
extremely cheap.

But it's the best I could do
at short notice.

[Julie]
Oh, and if Mohammad can't go

to the Trevi Fountain...

Then I say we just stay here

and we can throw a coin
into the kitchen sink.

-Go on.
-[Julie laughs]

And don't tell me
or it'll never come true.

Oh, okay.

Oh.

There you go, one more thing
to cross off the list.

I've been going overboard
haven't I? I know I have.

Well having a baby's
not a terminal illness.

Even when it gets here

there'll still be plenty
of time to do other things.

-Mmm.
-Well, maybe not for

the first couple
of months or so.

Or ten years after that.

Oh well, what's the equivalent
of c'est la vie in Italian?

I have absolutely no idea.

[laughs]

Hey I know, why don't we have
an Italian name for this kid,

like ah, like Pino or...

I thought you said
it was too early.

-Mario.
-Ah.

[Dave] Mario Rafter.

It's going on the list.

[Julie] Mario.

Mario.

So we're cruising through
the creepy Russian countryside

and suddenly
there's a creepier hotel.

Like a mini Dracula's castle.

Right.
That impression was helped

by the eight hours
of vodka drinking

you'd been doing, hm?

Given that the vodka's
really metho.

So we check in and sit down
for dinner to be informed

that there's an
after dinner show.

And I'm thinking
a little Russian dancing,

a little Russian singing.

I can be cultured.

And then the strippers arrive.

Oh, you've got to be kidding.

The male strippers.

In Lycra Cossack outfits.

With velcro down the sides
and bare skin jock-straps.

[Rachel] So much for lists.

Finally I was having fun.

-[Max] I'll get this.
-Oh.

Um, you know what
I really want to hear

the end of that story.

Do you want to go get
something to eat somewhere?

Look Rachel I don't want
to lead you on here.

You seem like
a really gorgeous girl.

I can't see
this going anywhere.

Oh, okay.
Right I'm not your type?

I know I'm way too picky.

I'm really after a redhead.

I'm sorry.

I know that sounds ridiculous
and shallow and pathetic...

No, no, no, no, no, no.

You just want what you want.

-Finnegan?
-[Julie] Yeah.

Do you like it for a boy?
What Finnegan Rafter.

[Dave] Is that one
of Rachel's boyfriends?

No.

Oh, suddenly
I'm liking it more.

What's going on here?

Oh, my husband surprised me
with a trip to Europe.

-Really?
-[Julie] Mm.

When are you going?
I didn't even know

you could fly
when you're pregnant.

No. It's the kind of journey
that doesn't involve jetlag.

Is this one of those
euphemistic ways

of talking about something
really kinky?

-Um...
-Evening all.

[Sammy] Hey I thought
you were going to be home

ages ago.

Sorry I had to stay back
and make a few calls.

Actually I have to go

and make a few more calls
right now.

Oh, what at this time
of night?

Yes. I'm trying to make a sale

and I haven't got a whole lot
of time to do it.

So I guess that means work
went well today?

Tim was okay?

Let's just say
that I had to be persuasive

and that's why I really need
to pull this off.

Don't worry I'm not going
to stay up all night.

[Carbo] Mate you've got
nothing to worry about.

[Ben] Hey!

Is that a queue?

Well it doesn't mean
he's got the job.

Come on.
Let's get out of here Benno.

I'll buy you a pizza.
Where are you going?

They haven't got enough staff
on tonight.

Not for a crowd that size.

You're not going in there
to work.

That's crazy.

You don't help the enemy win
the war mate.

The war is over.

Fungus has got the job.
End of story.

Benno.

[Carbo] See you mate.

[Rachel] As Ben faced up
to his failure that night...

Next morning
I had to face up to mine.

Point taken.

What?

Last night. I get it.

Max is me.

That's what it was all about.

So you had fun, right?

He rejected me
because of my hair.

-What?
-[Rachel] Yeah, apparently

he's only into red-heads.

So the universe is definitely
trying to tell me something.

I've taken a good long look
at myself

and I am taking that list
and tearing it up

and throwing it
out the window.

Who knew he would be so picky?

So what about you Miss Libby?

Are you ready to open
yourself up to the universe?

Oh, maybe.

Um, I mean I can't promise

I'll turn into
the Pacific Ocean overnight.

Oh, I mean seriously

if a guy rocked up to a date
wearing double denim,

I'd be out of there
so fast.

Oh!

[laughs]

[upbeat music playing]

Don't worry mate.

When I'm doing the rosters
I promise

I won't give you
the crappy shifts.

Thanks mate.
I really appreciate it.

[Derek]
Thanks for coming in guys.

Ben can I have a
word with you first.

Look it's okay Derek.

-Really no hard feelings.
-Ben...

No, no Fergus made a lot
of money for the club

and my trivia night,
well that kind of sucked.

But I just want to say
thanks for the opportunity.

Ben, you've got the job.

What?

I still can't believe it.

And you know what Derek said
was most impressive?

The fact that I went in there
last night to help out,

even though
I wasn't rostered on.

Sign of a true manager,
that's what he said.

And the band ended up
costing more money

than they made.

Mate that's awesome.
I mean I'm so proud right now.

Hey does this mean
I get free drinks?

Yeah.

Who you calling?

[Ben] Who do you reckon?

Ah she's going to come
crawling back just you wait.

[phone ringing]

Ben, hi.

I guess this means
you didn't lose my number?

Yeah sorry.
Look I've just been tied up

with all this stuff at work.

Hey listen I got the job.

I got the job as manager.

Ben that's fantastic.

Yeah I know. I totally thought
I'd stuffed it up

and that's why
I sort of bit your head off

the other night.

Oh, well I...

I kind of felt like
I was in the way,

like you didn't really
want me around.

No. No, no, it's...
It's not that at all.

Hey listen could
we catch up sometime?

-[Luke] Chicken or roast beef?
-Um...

You get to choose.

Chicken thank you.

Sorry Ben I missed that.

Was... Was that Luke?

Ah yeah, we're just having
some lunch.

[Ben] Right. Well, I don't
want to hold you up then.

-Ben...
-[line hangs up]

She's on a date with Luke.

He's buying her lunch
and she's having the chicken.

[Carbo] Mate she's got to eat.

Alright, look she could
just be there as mates.

Turn the phone off.

I thought you were asleep.

I can hear you thinking.

It's 10:30,
business hours are over.

Hmm. Not in real estate.

A buyer said he might call.

Well, he can leave a message.

No, no, no. Because
if he does call tonight

and he's interested
then I am back in the game.

You've got that look again.

What?

The look of a successful hunt.

It's very primal
and very sexy.

I'm going to make
this happen, Sam.

I can feel it.

Feel what exactly?

[phone vibrates]

-No way.
-Yes.

[phone beeps]

Hello Nathan Rafter.

No, no it's not too late
at all.

Yes they've got
all their finance sorted.

No, no, no, not yet

but I think it's fair to say

that all the gears
are in motion.

Yep.

Alrighty Tim
I'll speak to you soon.

-Okay bye.
-[phone beeps]

Good thing
you weren't on a video call.

Oh, the way
I'm driving this deal,

Tim wouldn't care
if I was naked.

Ah yes.

And I think that a congrats
is in order for you,

manager of the Boat Club.
Nice work Ben.

Thanks for the...
thanks for the shirt.

So where's the excitement?

[Ben] Yeah I, I am excited.
I am, it's what I wanted.

Yeah. Whoa! See Boat Club.

Okay. Let me guess it starts
with 'M' and it ends with 'A'.

Yeah, I totally stuffed it.

She's dating a hot doctor.

[Nathan] Well, then
you need to get her back.

It's not that easy.

It is.
You've got a goal,

now you just need
a plan of attack.

Yeah. No, no more lists.

Lists are what got you
the job.

[Ben] I got me the job.

Eye contact and an ugly shirt
had nothing to do with it.

Okay. Oh, well then let it go.
Let her go.

I'm sure there's a whole world
of freaks on the internet

just dying to meet you.

[phone ringing]

[Nathan]
I've got to take this.

Nathan Rafter.

No, no, no, now's...

-Oh, hello.
-Hey.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Congratulations.

Thanks Mum.

That's fantastic news.

My son the manager.

How come I haven't seen you?

I've just been busy
getting started on things.

It's pretty full on.

Well, I couldn't
be more proud.

Did you get my message?

Oh, yeah, your four messages.
Yeah, I got them.

Do you want some breakfast?

[Ben] No I... I better get on.

I'm making eggs.
High energy food.

Even a manager's
got to eat sometimes.

No I... I really
better get going.

Oh, but Mum remember
what you said

the other day about
grabbing a bite sometime.

-Yeah.
-Maybe bowling.

Yeah just the two of us.
I'd like that.

Aren't you going to be
a bit busy?

No. Never too busy for you.

Oh.

Your shout, yeah?

Yeah. [laughs]

-[Ben] See you.
-See you.

[Rachel]Lists are a valuable tool.

A way of focusing
your energy.

Making you feel
you're in control.

But as a way of defining
a soul mate,

well who's in control
when it comes to love.

Trawling for hotties again?

Relax it's only me.

No judgment here, remember.

Unless I'm Monique.

[snickers]

So I'm guessing the date
the other night

-didn't go too well, huh?
-Oh, yes and no.

Ah, I'm apparently too picky

so I've just decided
to be a bit more open minded.

Hmm. Well speaking
from experience

that can work out very well.

I mean Nathan didn't exactly
check all the boxes.

Not for my parents.
Not for most of my friends.

Not even for me initially.

Oh, I always thought
I was going to end up

with Prince Harry.

Yeah, he is the hot one.

So look I think being
open minded is the way to go.

-Hmm, exactly.
-But not him.

Or him. Oh.

[both laugh]

Still at least there
are options.

Absolutely.
I mean put yourself out there,

after all it's not like
you're going to meet someone

in your own backyard.

Hmm.

Hey Chrissy, Mum wants to know

if you want to stay
for dinner tonight.

Unbelievable.

What?

Well, his credentials on paper
were outstanding but...

who knew it was going to come
in this kind of package.

Right.

What are you doing here?
