[Nathan] You think I'd learn my lesson.

But no every Christmas was the same.

It was just too tempting.

There it was, the glittering prize.

Full of promise. Just out of reach.

-Don't even think about it. -Hmm.

Hey, guys, fingers crossed

if we get the DA through from the Council

we are done and dusted.

Double contract exchange here we come.

Does that mean I get my husband back?

Yes. And until then let's just think

about the big fat commission cheque that's coming our way.

Oh, you think I could put a price

on spending time with you.

[Nathan]Rachel too had gotten

more than she'd bargained for.

Five days ago a guy she'd flashed in some kind

of feminist statement

inconveniently started working with Dad.

Ran out of coffee in the shed.

[Julie] That's his way of saying

he forgot to put it on the shopping list.

Um, Rachel, is that your toast burning?

Oh!

Oh!

Ow! Ow! Ow! [sighs]

I have to get to work.

She's not really a morning person, is she?

Apart from that all I need is the Section 66W Certificate.

No, no, no. No, mate, I can come around, ah,

and pick it up myself. What time's good for you?

Well we will see you then. Okay, bye.

Am I hearing what I think I'm hearing?

Are we talking yes?

He has got a deposit cheque and a signed contract.

We can exchange this afternoon.

Yes! Yes! Sorry.

[Tim] No, mate. You go for it.

You said you could do it and you did it.

Moving one house to sell another in five days

that is an awesome effort.

I think I was lucky.

[Tim] Hey, I know luck and I know real estate smarts

and that my friend was definitely not luck.

You massaged that deal like a seasoned pro.

It's my job.

Above and beyond I'd say. I owe you a drink.

Actually, I reckon two properties,

I owe you dinner as well.

What are you doing tomorrow night?

Nothing.

Well the wife's got her belly-dancing class

so I'm off the leash.

Um, they do ten dollar steaks down at the Bridgeview.

Complimentary glass of wine. Deal or no deal?

Deal.

I felt like my life was back on track.

I was going places.

But exactly which places

was suddenly hard to predict.

Oh yeah who is the Man!

[Julie] Ooh!

[Steve] Well, looks like that'd be you, mate.

You look chuffed.

Ah, I don't want to oversell my son's talents

but I'm sensing a big real estate coup?

Yeah I guess you could say that. Yeah.

-Yeah! -[Julie] Oh, darling.

-Congratulations. -[Nathan] Thank you.

Oh!

-[Dave] Good on you, mate. -Thank you.

[Julie] So your boss must be thrilled.

I think seriously impressed

would be a massive understatement. Yeah.

So when you say coup, what are we talking here?

Well I don't think that Donald Trump is exactly

going to be running scared of me just yet.

But I sold a few houses.

[Julie] Oh and pulled off the deal in record time.

[Nathan] But I'd be nothing

without my little fan club over here.

[Steve] Oh, good on you, Nathan.

Well, listen, there's some coldies in the fridge.

Grab yourself a seat.

[Julie] And prepare for the highlights

of Steve's latest tour.

[Dave] "The Greaties from the Eighties".

-Edited to protect the guilty. -[Julie laughs]

Mate, you should have been there.

-I had a better offer. -[Julie] Ah, did you now.

Now listen what are you doing tomorrow night?

Gee, watching my toenails grow.

[Dave] Ah, I'm extracting the wax from my ears.

Oohh!

So you're free then? Okay, here's the deal.

I'm going to throw a bit of a party

to kick off my new publishing division.

And we're invited?

[Steve] That's what I'm saying.

You're all invited. The whole tribe.

-Awesome. -[Julie] Great.

[Dave] No it's good to see you.

Good to see you too, mate.

[Dave] Yeah, and about inviting us

to this bash tomorrow night, you don't have to.

[Steve] You're kidding? I... I want to. You're family.

Anyway you know what you'll be helping me out too,

just mix it up a bit.

[Dave] Yeah I'm not sure if Jules will get there.

I mean she will if she can. But just don't count on it.

Since when has Jules been allergic to free alcohol?

Oh, she's just been throwing up a little bit lately.

You know, pregnancy.

[Steve laughs] You've still got it in you?

[laughs] So it seems.

Congratulations.

Nappy changes at my age.

Rock and roll.

Rock.

-See you tomorrow night. -[Steve] You will you old dog.

-Yeah. -[Steve] Ow!

[suspenseful music playing on TV]

[woman screams]

How can you sleep through that?

I could hear it halfway down the street?

-What? -[Ben] That same music

playing over and over.

Have you had a sleeping pill or something?

No, no mate, stuffed. I've been working.

Hey, I have had the best day.

I had to do my first roster but it was a bit tricky

because Amber wanted Wednesday night off

and I only really had Jason to cover so.

[Carbo] Wait, wait mate.

Are you even listening to yourself.

-[Ben] What? -Oh look, mate, it's a roster.

Yeah. And I like doing it.

[Carbo] What have we become? I mean seriously.

I mean I have to be up at 4:00 a.m.

-to go to the flower markets. -Yeah that's cool.

No, Benno it's not cool.

This is not the way it's meant to be.

I mean we're young okay.

We're at our sexual prime and what are we doing with it?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Uh-huh. Well I rang up and won those free

preview passes to 'Feral' tomorrow night.

Well is that really as good as life gets?

Hello. Free tickets.

Mint choc top ice-creams.

It doesn't get a whole lot better than that.

[whimsical music playing]

[door closes]

[Jake] Morning. Oh!

I hope you didn't get dressed up on my account.

I could say the same to you.

I think you just did.

You don't think it matches my eyes?

[scoffs] As if I would even notice if it...

Why am I even bothering.

[sighs]

What demented mind-altered state

were you in when you hired that guy?

Jake? Is he here already?

God he is so badly in love with himself.

Well, I probably would be too if I looked like that.

I cannot believe you are drooling over a bogan.

I wasn't drooling.

And he's not a bogan. He's a nice guy.

[Julie] Well actually maybe just a little bit of drool.

But only on your behalf, darling.

He's a gorgeous looking boy.

Oh, Mom, do not even go there.

Well you're a gorgeous looking girl.

-Jules. -[Rachel] This is seriously

sick making. Please stop.

I want as little to do with him as possible.

Dave you ever heard that expression

-"protesting too much". -[Rachel] I heard that!

[laughs]

[Libby] The job is to re-launch

Rampant Men's Body Spray.

So the client want to reposition the produce

for a new demographic, working guys,

18 to 30, not exactly sophisticated.

[Rachel] So we're talking bogan spray.

Precisely. We need a venue, any ideas?

Ah, what about the joint my brother manages.

There's always a bar full of boofheads

on pool comp night.

[Libby] So we'll buy them a few drinks.

Sling them a few bucks and they can tell us exactly

what they think of Rampant.

[Rachel] What if the said demographic

have trouble constructing words

of more than one syllable?

What if they're so disgustingly in love

with their own bogan-esque ways

that all they can do is fart and belch

and ask me to show them my tits.

It works for me.

Suddenly I'm confused. Are we in therapy

or are we discussing the needs of our client?

It's this guy that is working for my Dad.

He's driving me up the wall.

Perfect. Invite him along.

-No. No way. -[Libby] Why not?

Because he's a total bogan loser.

So you'll ask him?

No.

Only agency in our area to achieve sales

in the past fortnight. Not a bad result, Nathan.

-That's what you pay me for. -Yeah but in this market.

You know what it's like out there.

-[phone ringing] -Excuse me a second.

Yeah.

Hey, Dad, how's it going?

Oh, I meant to say something this morning.

No, no, no, um, Sam's at work and,

and I can't make it either because, um,

I've promised Tim that I'll have a drink with him tonight.

Yeah, sorry.

Ah, well have a great time though

and say hi to Steve for me.

Alrighty, I'll speak to you soon.

Okey-doke bye. Sorry about that.

Mate, if there's somewhere else you need to be tonight.

[Nathan] Oh no. It's nothing.

It doesn't sound like nothing if your old man's chasing you.

He used to play in a band, um, this guy Steve Wilson, he,

he's holding some launch.

Not, not Steve Wilson and the Front?

-Yes. -[Tim] You're kidding,

-Steve Wilson and the Front? -Yeah, why?

Mate. I was there,

I saw them support Sherbert one night.

Blew them off the stage. They were hot.

They were very good. Mate, we...

we can have a drink any night of the week.

-[Nathan] No, Tim-- -[Tim] No buts. You're going.

You bring me back an autograph, eh?

Okay. Thank you.

Tim's a nice guy.

A decent fair minded, all round nice guy.

And I was happy, I really was.

Great boss. Great job...

We're going to a party.

But suddenly, the world of suburban

real estate didn't seem such a cool place.

[singer] ♪ Come on, baby It won't take long ♪

♪ Only just a minute... ♪

Oh, wow! Wow!

This is a bit more exciting than my usual, ah,

Tuesday date with a deep conditioner.

-Hello. -Yeah you can say that again.

[Steve] Dave!

Hey, Jules. Hey you two.

-Come in, come in. -Hey cool venue.

[Steve] It's all right, hey? Come on in.

Come on in, make yourselves at home.

-Glad you came? -Oh, well let's see.

I did have to promise to do

a week's worth of night shifts in return.

Oh, but this looks like it might ease the pain.

[Nathan] I had been to parties before.

Okay, heaps of parties

but this was Christmas presents

on top of the wardrobe time, tantalising, magic.

-Hi there. -Hi.

-I'm Layla. -I'm Nathan.

Yeah, I know. Um, Dave Rafter's son,

-right? -Yeah.

[Layla] The real estate agent?

-[Nathan] Yeah. Yeah, yeah. -Sammy.

[Nathan] How did you know that?

Oh, Steve mentioned he caught up with you guys

-the other night. -He did.

Oh, well the conversation must have been in short supply.

-[laughs] -Is he always this modest?

Oh, give him a couple of minutes to warm up.

[Layla] So tell me did the apple fall far from the tree?

-I'm sorry? -Oh, do...

do you write or play an instrument?

-[Nathan] Oh ah-- -[David] Layla! Hey.

-David. Hey. -[David] How are you?

-How are you? -Great.

[Layla] I thought you were in New York?

Oh no I got back on the weekend. Great party.

[Layla] Thank you. You know my secret,

just keep the champagne flowing.

Sorry, David, this is Nathan Rafter.

-[David] G'day, mate. -It's nice to meet you.

[Layla] Oh, his father wrote Suburban Boy with Steve.

Very nice. Welcome to the club.

-Hey, thanks. -And this is Sally.

-G'day Sally. -Sammy.

God, I'm so sorry. I'm terrible with names.

-You are. -[Layla] Terrible.

Ah, your last CD. I loved it

but you probably get that all the time, sorry.

[David] Thank you so much.

Hey, listen I'm going to go see some mates.

I'll see you soon, yeah? Lovely to see you.

Take care. See you soon.

-He's a great guy. -Yeah, he is.

But let's not talk about him.

Tell me a little bit more about you?

[Nathan] Suddenly I seemed to be the center

of all this attention.

And I truly did not know why.

[singer] ♪ Come on ♪

[Julie] I can't because it might not be the one.

[laughter]

Yeah, well, it's all a bit technical for me.

Sales projections, all of that.

-[Julie] Oh. -Although I did try

a useful comment about Kylie Minogue

and hot pants but I don't think

it was entirely relevant.

Oh, you stick with us, kiddo. Amateurs have more fun.

I don't know I think hot pants are extremely relevant

when you're talking about marketing.

-Oh. -[Dave] Not that I've given it

too much thought though. Or anything.

Do you believe Kate Ceberano's here?

Look she's just... She's smiling and lovely.

You know, she's obviously like that in real life.

It's not an act.

I didn't think you were the star struck kind.

Well when have I ever met any?

Steve Rock!

[laughs]

Hey, um, who's Nathan talking to?

[Sammy] Ah, it's Layla. Ah she works with Steve.

-In the new division? -Ah, she is the new division.

Oh.

[Nathan] Surely there has to be a cap on the kind

of royalty you can charge on, on sourced music.

-There has to be. -Yeah sure but...

but when you're talking about high rotation stuff,

okay say the, the underscore

for a TV show that's sold worldwide.

-Okay. -Then you're talking big bucks

-so there's... That's massive. -[Nathan] Wow.

But what are you offering? What's, you know?

[Layla] What with the back catalogue?

-Yeah. -An emotion.

Or... or a memory or a hook.

You know and the new stuff it's... it's innovation.

Innovation. Okay, but what's your USP?

Our Unique Selling Point?

You know your stuff. I'm very impressed.

Well okay, well I'm interested.

I'm very interested.

Are you interested in music?

Yeah, I like to listen to music.

You're not a crazy, obsessive music-freak though are you?

-No. -Good.

Don't get me wrong.

I like to go and see bands, sometimes.

But I think what I'm more interested in is, um...

is, you know business models.

I like um new technologies, new media.

I really like selling. I like the chase.

Will you excuse me for just a minute?

-Yeah of course. -I'll be back.

I was just saying the people here you have to meet.

Oh! Oh my God we were just talking about you.

Really?

[Julie] Well, no, I was just saying

that you know, you, you're obviously oh...

Oh, sorry I shouldn't, I'll shut up.

Oh, well, I'm Sammy and it's a pleasure to meet you.

[Kate] G'day. Hello how are you? Hello.

-Hello. -[Dave] Hi.

-[Julie] Hi, I'm Julie. -Hi Julie. [laughs]

[Dave] Hey, Steve, we owe you big time for tonight.

-It's been fantastic. -[Julie] Yes.

-Oh! -[Julie] Yes we do.

You are going to have to come to dinner sometime.

Oh, you should come to, Kate.

Thanks, I've actually, um, I've probably got to--

-[Julie] No you're busy. Yeah. -Yeah.

[Julie] Sorry. Sorry. I'm so sorry. [laughs]

But thank you so much.

-I'll see you later. -[Steve] Okay.

[Kate] See you later guys. Goodbye.

Oh, was I gushing?

Oh just a... just a little bit.

I can't believe I did that.

[Ben] This is going to be so cool.

[Carbo] Yeah who says we don't have a life, hey?

Mate, are we the only ones here over the age of 14?

And I bet every single one of them is getting more action

than both of us put together.

And maybe that's true. But there's one thing

that we've got that they haven't got?

-What's that? -Free tickets.

Hey, come on, try and tell me

you're not excited about this?

-[Carbo] I-- -[Ben] Get it.

The special effects are supposed to be amazing.

I saw this clip on YouTube where the pig goes berserk

in the salami factory.

What? I'm really looking forward

to this film, all right.

Mate, if I had to pick between that

and you wetting yourself over a roster,

I think I'll pick the angry pig any day of the week.

-This is going to be so cool. -[burps]

[laughs]

Actually mate I'm busting to go.

Do you reckon I've got time before the movie starts?

Ah, mate I don't think that's a good idea.

-Why not? -Don't look now.

Oh, man, what's she doing here?

Horror movies, remember, she loves them.

Oh, yeah I didn't think.

She must have called the radio too.

Who's the guy? Is that a date?

That's the doctor. Remember.

Why would he want to come to a movie like this?

Because he wants to see it.

[Ben] As if. Look at him, he's got nature documentary

written all over his face.

He's just going to be sitting there

looking down his nose at everyone

who's trying to enjoy themselves.

Well, maybe he wants to see it because she wants to see it.

I've really got to go, but I can't let her see me.

She's going to think I'm some kind of stalker.

All right, look, just stay low. All right.

Stay low, don't let her see you.

Shhh.

Hey while you're out there get me a choc top.

[indistinct chatter]

Newsflash. The, ah, woman you were flirting with.

What? I wasn't flirting.

Oh, sorry the woman you were undressing with your eyes.

I was not. We were talking.

[Sammy] Well, it's Steve Wilson's new girlfriend.

I wasn't flirting.

Oh, well if you weren't then she sure as hell was.

What? She wasn't flirting with me.

[Sammy] Hey do you think, ah, Steve's the jealous type?

[Nathan] You are being ridiculous.

[Sammy] Oh, I think he might be.

[Nathan] Sam you are absolutely ridiculous.

-Nathan. -Steve.

I don't know what you've been saying to Layla.

Oh, ha, no you see that's it, it was nothing.

We were just having a little chat

and ah we were just having a little joke.

Well whatever it was you should do it more often.

-You made quite an impression. -Really?

[Steve] Yeah. Now look I know selling houses

and selling music are two very different--

No, no, no wait. No, no you see

it doesn't matter what your product is,

it's all about marketing strategy

and about getting the edge on your competitor. That's...

And that concludes tonight's motivational speech.

So thank you very much for listening.

[Steve laughs] Well it doesn't have to.

I... I'd like to hear a little bit more

about your recent sales. If you don't mind?

No it's fine.

And if Sammy doesn't mind, would you excuse us?

Yeah.

[singer] ♪ You just want To slam the door ♪

[indistinct chatter]

[beeping]

Who's next?

[both] Mint choc-top, thanks.

Ben? Hi. You here for the killer pig, too?

Of course you are. Gratuitous gore.

-I should have known. -So you here by yourself?

No, no. I'm with, ah, Luke.

I wouldn't thought it was his scene.

Not that I know the guy.

How are things with you know your--

[Ben] Yeah, my ticker's fine. Yeah, all good.

Yeah, I've just been working basically.

Keeping myself busy.

Getting used to running the joint.

Oh, that's good. That's great.

-You? -Same. Yeah, yeah.

[attendant] Last one. Guys who wants it?

[both] You have it.

No, you asked for it--

-No you have it. -You asked for it first.

-You have it. -[Melissa] No really it's--

[Ben] It's your favorite.

You always have one of these. It's tradition.

Thanks.

Enjoy.

-Vanilla? -French vanilla.

Oh, what because ice-cream comes with an accent?

They were out of mint, okay. Take it or leave it.

[Carbo] Well, didn't you want one?

No.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

-I've got to get out of here. -Mate the movie just started.

Benno.

[Nathan] Ben had thought it was all within his reach.

But how quickly things can turn to crap.

[Julie laughs] I was.

-I was-- -How was it?

Go on tell pathetic little overworked Rachel all.

It was awesome. It was totally awesome.

Rach, you wouldn't believe it anyone who's anyone was there.

-Even the Rafters. -Guess who we met?

Oh, listen to you.

Just add champagne, instant name dropper.

Dave Campbell and Kate Ceberano.

-That is impressive. -Yeah,

it was cool people. Cool music.

Cool cocktails, cool food.

-[Dave] Hmm, thank you. -Hey,

get your own. I licked that.

[Julie] I'll make you another one.

Who wants a toastie?

[Nathan] Yes. It was full on.

It was freaking amazing.

[Julie] You know even as a kid he loved the...

the sparkly wrapping paper. The shinier the better.

I never would have guessed.

[Rachel] Well it sounds like Steve made quite

a little impression on our Nathan.

[Sammy] Yeah. Oh, yeah. And... And Nathan made quite

an impression on Steve's girlfriend.

[Nathan] What? I... I did not.

Oh, do tell.

Up close and personal, tete a tete.

[Nathan] Sam, we were just talking.

Isn't that what parties are all about?

Um, ah, not when your wife's left clutching her champagne

like a social reject. No.

And the two hours that you spent getting cosy

with David that's okay, that's--

-[Sammy] Oh... -[laughs] ...it's up there.

Well let's face it, once you've been to one

fully catered up market unforgettable industry bash,

you've been to them all, right?

[Nathan]A door had opened for me.

[Rachel] Come on, give me a small crumb.

[Nathan]And there was no going back.

Actually sorry, Rachel, this was pretty damn special.

[whimsical music playing]

[Ben] Rachel, I already told you it's all sorted.

-Okay. I'm just checking. -The room is booked.

Great. And the pool comp?

[Ben] Is happening. And there'll be heaps

of guys there in the age range you're looking for.

And by the way I totally believe that this for work

and everything but there are many people out there--

You are as bad as, Mom. It is market research.

-It's my job. -[Ben] Whatever.

[Rachel] I get paid to talk to bogans that's just what I do.

-[whistles] -[Rachel] Oh!

-You did not just do that. -Yep.

Oh here we go, pretend to be really offended.

[Rachel] Oh, trust me I don't have to pretend.

I just gave you a compliment.

Alright, you should be thanking me.

Oh! Great. Etiquette lessons from you.

Oh, that is just perfect.

Oh.

Forget it.

Here is that sales history you wanted for Stanhope Street.

[Tim] You know, Nathan, ah,

I've been doing a little thinking.

It's the, ah, squeaky sound between my ears.

Where do you see yourself in the next few years?

Um... I don't know, I haven't really thought about it.

Come on pull the other one. A bloke like you,

probably got a five year plan or ten year plan.

Oh, I think that I might have a next half hour plan.

[Tim] Well, how does partner in an agency,

-not unlike this sound? -[Nathan] Partner?

[Tim] Junior partner in a couple of years.

And then I don't know ten years or so, full partner.

-Okay, ah-- -Yeah, yeah.

I know you'll have to think about it.

-Yeah. -For a nano-second.

-[Sammy] Knock, knock. -[Nathan] Sammy.

Sammy this is Tim. Tim this is my wife Sammy.

-Hi. -[Tim] Oh!

[Sammy] It's lovely to meet you.

Not as lovely as it is to meet you.

-You forgot your phone. -You are a lifesaver.

Now, I was just telling Nathan here

that if he keeps up the good work

we could be talking partnership.

-In a few years. Yeah. -That's amazing.

-Congratulations. -Thanks.

Look, Tim, I know I'm biased but you will not regret this.

[Tim] Well, we've been looking

for the right man for a number of years.

And, um, I think we may have found him.

That's fantastic. I am so proud.

[Nathan] And it should have been fantastic.

Okay, well I'm going to head home.

So I will see you there and we can celebrate.

-Done. -Okay bye, Tim.

[Nathan] Only things were about to get complicated.

Hello Nathan Rafter.

Layla hi.

Yeah, yeah it was nice to meet you to.

Yes, where and when?

Yep, okay. All right, I'll see you then.

Okay bye.

Tim that was a, ah, potential client

just wants to talk about a property.

Yeah, no, no go. Go get them tiger.

So ah, you want to know why you're here?

Well, um, I'm thinking that you're not interested

in the three bedroom weatherboard cottage

that I've just listed for sale.

That's what I'm thinking.

And I'm thinking you didn't know

you were auditioning the other night.

I'm, um... I'm looking for someone

to work with me at Front.

Um, like I said to you the other night,

it's a new division. It's pretty much a start-up,

so we need someone with, with energy, motivation.

Um, strong sales background.

Got to be pretty flexible in your thinking

and not afraid of long hours.

[Steve] And from what I've seen

and certainly what Layla's seen

we reckon you fit the bill.

You know nothing about the music business.

I can learn.

[Dave] Well, what about job security?

What about opportunity?

Ah what about your job with Tim?

What is this? Is this twenty questions?

Tim gave you an opportunity.

At a suburban real estate agency.

And you're a real estate agent.

Sounds like a pretty good fit to me.

They were talking partnership.

-Since when? -Since this morning.

But... But that's fantastic, isn't it?

Maybe for someone that was really into it.

Hang on am I missing something here?

Remember a couple of days ago

how excited you were to close that deal.

But think of all the deals that I can close

if this business goes global.

-[Dave] Global? -Mm.

It's a start-up. No guarantees.

It might not even last six months.

And it might go through the roof. Huh?

You know Steve and Layla know what they're doing.

They... They believe in me.

Okay, they see something in me.

They hardly know you.

Sam okay this cannot be because of Layla.

You know just because she accidentally

forgot your name at a party.

As if it would have anything to do with that.

Nathan. Nathan darling,

you've just caught us on the hop.

You never even talked about wanting to work

in the music industry before.

That's because it's never been an option before, Mom.

Okay, I'm 22.

Yes, okay it's a risk but isn't that

what life's all about at my age?

Well just, just make sure it's what you really want.

-That's all. -Yeah

And not just because you went to some party

and met David Campbell. That wasn't real.

Okay, yes it would be bad timing for Tim.

But I didn't ask for this, okay.

It just happened and isn't that how

I deal with it that matters?

I'll be honest and I'll be upfront with him.

I'll explain how it is.

Well, it seems like the decision's

already been made. [sighs]

[sighs]

[Libby] So basically um, take a whiff

and then allow the spray time to dry and savor.

We've rounded up a few more volunteers.

Great.

What are you doing here?

Ah, apparently you need me to smell something. I'm--

Look I am here trying to work.

I don't need you stuffing this--

[sniffs] It's not bad.

Is there a problem?

Have you got any free samples?

So you're here for the testing?

[Rachel] No. No, he is not. No, please just go.

Um, whoa! Whoa!

Are you selling this as some kind of repellant?

I mean if so I think you're onto a winner, that's--

Okay, look if you're not going to take this seriously--

You just asked for an honest opinion.

I just gave it to you. I'm sorry if it's...

not the answer you're looking for.

[Libby] Um, Rachel we're just about to,

um, break off into one on ones.

Maybe you'd like to start with Mr--

Barton. Jake.

Jake.

Um, Jake if you want to sit over there and, um,

Rachel will be with you in a moment.

[Jake] Great. She's counting the seconds, I can tell.

[Libby] Don't tell me this is the guy

who's working with your Dad?

Oh, and having him around is a bad thing?

Yes. Because he's a complete--

Bogan. So you keep saying.

That's exactly why he's perfect.

Lie back and think of the client.

Oh, I can't get into this.

-Well, what's wrong? -What is it with Nathan?

He's never had it so good.

He talked himself into a potential partnership,

a future, a salary.

And now he's going to chuck it all over, for what?

Well he's always had big dreams. I mean,

-maybe this is his chance. -[Dave] He's always chased

after the things that he can't have.

The things that are just slightly out of reach.

I mean he doesn't know how long this thing

with Steve's going to last. Steve doesn't know.

It's a punt. A stab in the dark.

Well, you were dazzled by the music world once.

Dazzled, exactly. That's the word.

Caught in the headlights but I came to my senses.

You got me pregnant.

-Well whatever. -[Julie] Yeah.

Well don't you regret it, just a... just a tiny bit?

-It's not job security. -[Julie] Oh.

-It's not a steady income. -[Julie] Yeah listen to you.

This is Nathan. He's only 22.

And if he doesn't take this chance then, then when?

We have to let him make his own mistakes.

That is what I'm worried about.

I just don't want him to come a cropper.

Again.

[clears throat]

[Layla] Thank you.

Layla thank you for, ah, for meeting me so late.

[laughs] This isn't late.

You'll find that out soon enough...

when you come on board.

Come on is that a yes?

No. Not yet. Actually, um,

there's something I need to know. I...

I need to know...

I need to know why me?

I thought we'd explained all that to you.

Yeah I... Steve's not pulling any strings here?

-No. -[Nathan] No.

No. It's more like the other way around.

Look can I be honest with you.

You know I...

I know my strengths but I know my weaknesses.

And my background is in music

but mainly the PR side of it.

You know I've... I've got the contacts,

I can get us in the door.

But closing the deal

and getting us across the line,

that is your strength.

But you're a highly motivated guy, Nathan.

You're... You're a results guy with...

With a great attitude and a sense of humor.

And I need someone like that.

And I just think we'd make a great team.

And we'd be in it together.

You know it would be an adventure.

If that's what you're after.

An adventure.

[Rachel] Would you recommend Rampant to a friend?

No. No.

If a friend gave you Rampant as a gift

what would be your response?

-That'd be an ex-friend. I-- -Oh, right.

If you're going to treat this as a joke.

Look you asked me what I think, I'm telling you.

Look...

-[sprays] -Stop!

[Jake] Do you see. Come on,

-this is a waste of time. -Oh, well

if that's how you feel, you can just leave.

You've already made up your mind.

You know exactly who's going to buy this crap.

Or you think you do.

Um, where do you buy your toiletries?

But maybe you're wrong.

You know maybe that's the thing about

making up your mind too fast.

Do you buy them at a supermarket

or at the department store?

What makes you so much better than everyone else?

-I'm not. -[Jake] Yeah, I know that.

I'm just not sure you've realized it yourself.

[Rachel] Of course. Yep a woman

who isn't falling at your feet.

I must be up myself.

That's the only possible explanation for one--

And a tradie who plays football.

Of course I've got to be bogan, don't I?

My Dad is actually a tradie.

In case that escaped your attention.

I don't look down on people for what they do.

-Oh, right. -Unless they are hanging out

of a ute window asking me

to show them my tits.

Actually that was Camel.

Yeah, well you didn't try to stop him.

Well, you didn't have to flash.

I mean don't get me wrong I'm not complaining.

Oh, I will call you a bogan

because that is exactly what you are,

a bogan.

[George] There you go, we have proof.

Rampant brings out

the lion in everyone.

[Jake] Are we done? Can I have my fifty bucks?

[Libby] Oh we might need to convene another group.

Either that or they can the product.

[George] I thought they had canned the product.

Oh, ha, ha. Hey, be careful with that stuff

if you ever want to breed. It might lower

the sperm count for all we know.

Oh, you don't hate me, do you?

Oh no. For using me as the evening's entertainment.

Why on earth would I hate you for that?

If it's any consolation, I think he likes you.

Lib am I snob?

Hesitating, so she doesn't have to answer truthfully.

-I'm not. -Oh!

Oh! Well, it's...

It's just that he's behaved like such a yobbo pig

every time I've seen him.

Going back to my theory on how much he likes you.

Hey where do you want me to put this, Lib?

Um, just chuck them in my bag over there.

-Thanks. -[George] No problemo.

[Rachel] If that's the evening finished

I might head home.

Libby are you okay?

Either I'm hallucinating

or on George that stuff actually smells good.

-Did I just say that? -Yeah. You did.

And if that's your attempt at being more open minded.

No one is more freaked out than me, Rachel.

Seriously.

Maybe it's his new haircut.

I'm feeling the need to run.

Very quickly.

[Jake] Do you want a lift?

What, with you and your mate Camel?

Camel's still drinking. That's why

they call him Camel.

Well that's stupid then.

-What is? -[Rachel] His nickname.

Camel's don't drink. That's the thing about camels.

[chuckles] Okay.

Look don't be an idiot, this time of night

you could be waiting here for ages. Just get in.

No, look it's all right. I'm fine thank you.

[Jake] If you think I'm driving off

and leaving you here, I'm not.

Well I'm just a stuck up princess, aren't I?

Remember. So why would you care.

Well I don't. I don't.

It's just my mother would if she knew I drove off

and left you standing here, so.

Right, well how about I promise not to tell her

-and you just-- -Oh, Rachel! I mean,

just get in the car.

For God's sake.

[Jake] Oh, oh sorry. Shift that.

How hard was that, hey?

So, now it's an adventure?

[Nathan] Mm. Yeah what's wrong with that?

I thought we were supposed to be saving money?

Yes, I know the money's not great to start off with.

-And it's only for six months? -[Nathan] But it could be...

It could be six years. It could turn into ten years.

I just... I don't see what the objection is?

-It's Layla. It's Steve. -What about them?

They are part of that world.

Right and... And what world is that?

The world that I thought we'd left behind.

All just surface and the image.

So, Sam, I know how to handle that world. Those people.

You hardly even know them, Nathan.

That's my point.

[engine revving]

Well that was edifying.

No worries.

Thank you for the lift.

Any time.

-Good night then. -Good night.

[engine starts over]

[Rachel] That was one of the strangest journeys

-of my life. -I'm sorry?

-Okay, so Jake-- -[Nathan] Hmm-mm.

--offers me a lift home.

Only the whole way not one word.

Just total weird silence.

He is a freak. I rest my case.

And before you say anything

I repeat a hundred thousand times,

you are wrong.

No!

-Rachel? -Bye, Dad.

-But ah-- -[Rachel] What's that saying?

Early bird. Worms.

-Avoidance. -What?

Definitely avoidance.

[Nathan] And yes, while Rachel was simply

avoiding her problem...

-I was facing mine head on. -Tim.

-G'day mate. -G'day.

Look, there's something I need to talk to you about.

I've been thinking about what you were saying

about the future and...

about which direction I wanted to head.

Here we go the new junior partner's going to hit me

for a pay rise, hey?

No. No pay rise actually.

Things have changed and I'm afraid

that I won't be staying on.

What just like that?

I've been made an offer.

What offer?

To work with Steve Wilson.

Oh.

I know you gave me a chance.

Tim, you gave me a second chance and I will

-always be grateful for that. -Well,

obviously not grateful enough, hey?

-And I'm sorry. -[Tim] Well, mate,

I hope for your sake you don't end up sorry.

Look I hope you can make a go of it.

Right I really do. But I'm here to tell you,

jobs don't grow on trees.

Right, it takes commitment to make a go of things.

Commitment,

hard work, loyalty.

It's a tough world out there, you're probably just

a little bit young to realize that yet.

I am really sorry. I...

I honestly didn't go looking for this.

But you're taking it.

Yes I am.

That's all I need to know.

[Nathan] Reaching out and taking what I wanted,

the right choice for me.

Then why did it feel so bad?

-Melissa. -[Melissa] Hi.

How's things? Shouldn't you be taking it a bit easier?

No, no. It's all good.

I don't go too hard.

Do you want to come inside for a drink?

No, um, thanks.

Ah, I just wanted to say that, ah, I'm sorry.

You were right, what you said

about me making you jump through hoops.

Always wanting things my way.

And I'm sorry.

And?

We had a great time together and I miss that.

Me too.

I miss everything about you.

-No Ben it's-- -If we could take it slow

-I promise one step at a time. -Stop. Stop, no please.

I'm with Luke now.

Then why are you here?

Because I want to be friends.

I really care about you, Ben

and I... I don't want to lose you.

It's not good enough. I'm sorry.

The way I feel about you it's...

It's all or nothing for me.

And if... If I can't have you...

All of you

then it's not going to work.

I've got to go.

[dramatic music playing]

I think it's just because I spent so much time

with him yesterday.

And I mean maybe it's just one of those dreams

that mean something completely different.

I read this book once on interpreting dreams

and in it, it said that if you imagine someone

ripping your clothes off, what it really means

is that you're desperate to get it on with them.

How can this be happening to me?

How can I even think about liking him.

[Libby] Let's see. For starters he's hot.

And secondly, did I mention he's hot.

-[George] Ladies. -Oh, hey George.

Toper upper anyone?

Libby,

another decaf skinny latte

to really kick start your day?

Um, very funny.

No I'm... I'm fine, thank you.

Back momentarily.

You think you've got problems.

What?

He's wearing Rampant again.

Oh, Libby, you can't be serious?

Wait 'till I tell you about the dream I had last night.

[Dave] ...the domestic side of this business

but what we're looking at recently

is the commercial side. So, yeah,

a lot of our work at the moments smoke alarms

and if they want back to base that's where the cost lies.

And honestly ongoing service, not just the installation.

Oh, g'day.

I'm just having a catch up with Jake here,

-do you want to join us? -Ah...

work.

[sighs]

Odd.

[sighs]

Agh!

It didn't feel good.

Well how did you think it would feel?

I don't know.

You can't blame Tim for being disappointed.

Well, it's not like I planned on this happening.

And it's the right decision for me. I know it is.

-Just promise me one thing. -Hey, Sam,

any backstage passes you want, they're yours. I promise.

Don't turn into someone like my father.

I've seen how he treats people.

Sam, I'm not Tony Westaway.

Okay you... You've got to believe me.

Hey, you two. You joining us?

[Nathan] Yeah.

There he is. Come here you.

Ah, you're not going to regret this.

-I'm telling you now. -[Layla] Best decision

you ever made. Welcome aboard.

-[Steve] Hey beautiful. -Oh aye, aye captain.

-[Layla] That's right. -Hang on a minute.

You guys are the crew,

-I'm the captain. -hat's our Steve.

[Layla] Right this is going to be fantastic.

And now to seal the deal

what else but some champagne.

-Oh! -Hey. Lovely.

Do you music industry people ever do any work?

Well, not if we can help it.

Sammy, I'd keep an eye on this man if I were you.

-He is really going places. -Oh, you're not telling me

anything I don't already know.

Thanks for giving him the job.

Oh, I tell you he made his own luck.

Layla thinks the sun shines out of him.

-I hope, oh--

-[Steve] What? -Well I...

-I hope it's not because of-- -Because of what?

Well, you're not doing him any favors, are you?

Dave, he landed the gig fair and square.

-So, how're you feeling? -Good.

-A bit daunted, but good. -Ah, you'll be fine.

You've got nothing to worry about. Now,

how did you get on with that other guy?

-Tim was it? -Ah, Tim.

Yeah it was a bit tough.

-Yeah. -Yeah. Well he'll get over it.

You know in life,

sometimes you've just got to do what's right for you.

And if other people get their noses out of joint,

that's just collateral damage.

-[Nathan] I wasn't listening. -Okay here we are.

[Nathan] I'd made my choice.

-My life was about to begin. -[Steve] Right.

-let's charge our glasses. -Okay.

-To Nathan. -Hey!

[Layla] Nathan. Welcome aboard.

[Nathan] And just like that

finally I made it.

I reached out and grabbed that longed for prize.

Yes.

[singer] ♪ My slumber... ♪

[Nathan] Was it exactly what I'd wished for?

What I wanted all along?

-Thank you.-Only time would tell.

[Steve] Good on you, mate.
