[theme music playing]

[Rachel] These two dared me to do it.

-[Ben] I remember that. -[Julie] We would not just

go out and leave you with anyone.

[Dave] She'd been looking after kids for years.

[Rachel] Oh, more like scarring them for life.

No I... Hey I... I actually liked her.

Do you know why, because she used to let me

put hundreds and thousands on my ice-cream.

[Ben] Oh, yeah, because you were a big fat suck.

Ah no, it's because I was well behaved.

[Rachel] Oh, you were well behaved.

[laughs] Yeah.

Always have to have my little shirts ironed

and my little hair brushed.

[Sammy] You'd think that after two years

with the Rafters I'd feel like I belonged.

[Ben] And my nice little hand writing, just perfect.

[laughter]

Yeah, well at least he could write.

Yes!

[Dave] Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry...

[Sammy] But families speak their own private language.

The baby of the family

and that's why she spoiled him.

-Well my parents... -[Ben] Yeah, he was the baby

-and he was also... -[Sammy] And sometimes

there's only one way to make yourself heard.

My parents left me with a babysitter

for two weeks straight! Once, they were in Tahiti

and I was left at home, so.

I didn't get any ice-cream either.

Yeah, my point exactly.

I didn't get any ice-cream.

Mrs. Schmidt was a monster.

-[Ben] She ate babies. -[Julie] Oh, she did not.

[Ben] Mom, she was dribbling toddler.

So this, um, babysitter of yours,

is that the same one that...

Got busted for selling drugs?

Yep. That's her.

Right.

Why are you looking at me like that?

No, I'm not... No, I don't know.

It's just, it was kind of weird

how you just came out with it.

I knew I'd made an idiot of myself.

No, no, no you didn't. You didn't.

[Sammy] Well it's just... it's hard sometimes.

You guys have all got 20 something years

of history that I'm not part of.

You're part of it now.

This hasn't got anything to do with me

not being around so much lately?

-No, oh no, no. -It's just

I really want to make a go of this job.

I know which means long hours. I get it.

You have been given this great opportunity

and you do have to go for it.

This is your family too. Okay?

You belong and everybody loves you, believe me.

Maybe not the way I do

because that would be disturbing,

but they do, okay.

[Sammy] In here with Nathan, I could believe it.

Out there, oh, I was still always half a step behind.

Sam, can we pick up the pace?

-[Sammy] I'm wearing heels. -[Rachel] Ahh.

[Jake] Morning, Rachel.

-Hey hold up a sec. -We are in a hurry.

I've got no time to chit chat. Sorry.

I'm talking to your brother.

-[Rachel] Oh! -Oh!

You'd feel like a bit of a nob

if you walked in like this.

-Thanks. -Whoa!

They're paying you a lot of money at this gig.

Oh, you've got to look the part.

And it was... it was on sale.

Oh, how quickly the positions reverse.

What positions are they, Rachel?

I wasn't talking to you.

Can we go?

Hey, who's that?

Darling! I was going to call from the airport

-but my phone died. -[Sammy] Mom!

I wasn't expecting you for another week.

Oh, well punish me

for wanting to see my daughter.

-Hello. -Hi.

-Hello, Nathan. -Welcome home, Trish.

Oh, you're travelling light as per usual.

Oh, well Europe was on sale.

No, no, no we're just making one stop

then we're going onto my hotel.

Well your hotel. You're going to have

to give me lots of complimentary facials.

-Oh! -Have we got time for coffee?

Are you seriously going to make the driver wait?

Oh, we'll only be ten minutes then I can give you a lift.

[Rachel] Um, well look I'm going to go

but I'll see you guys later.

-I'll leave you guys to it. -Bye.

-Bye. -Lovely shirt, Nathan.

[Sammy] The family I tragically did belong to

had just crashed back into our lives.

Ah, sorry we've only got instant left.

Oh, that's fine. I've already had one

at the airport. I've been brought right back to earth.

-Mom, just... -Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean for that to sound rude.

I've been spoiled by Italian cafes.

No, that's fine.

So how was your trip?

You were in Tuscany, weren't you?

We were meant to be. My friend was celebrating

her post-divorce settlement, I think she's read

that dreadful book one too many times.

-Under the Tuscan Sun. -Oh, I read that.

I... It was alright.

[Trish] Well I said, look let's just mix it up for once.

You know you're free, I'm free,

let's do something a little crazy.

Really. So, um, how was the three star hotel?

[laughs] We ended up down in Taormina, in Sicily.

-Have you ever been? -No.

[Trish] God, the amount of time

I've spent in that country and I've never been

further south than Positano.

I feel that way about Bateman's Bay.

[Trish] It was glorious.

The beaches, the food, the coffee.

Ah, good. Well it... It's...

It's great to see you looking so well.

That's exactly how I feel.

I feel really good about what's in front of me.

Which is not a stack of bills, I hope.

[Trish] Look I don't want to hold you up.

I better get going, but I was wondering

if you were free for lunch on Sunday.

-The whole family. -Ah, yes,

what did you have in mind?

[Trish] Oh, nothing too fancy.

But it's my treat, no arguments,

it's a... It's a celebration.

-Of what? -The future.

Whatever life chooses to bring our way.

[Sammy] Yep. Mom was back

and not taking no for an answer.

-So, Sammy's mum's paying? -[Ted] Apparently.

Well I thought they lost all their money?

Hey, I'm just the messenger.

-I have no idea. -Yeah, well I might,

I might give this one a miss.

I'm not that much fun at the moment.

Look, I've already tried that on your mother

and she wouldn't have it.

And if I have to be there, so do you.

Look, why don't you just ring her?

Because she's got to be the one who makes the effort.

Oh, pride's a fine thing.

It's not about pride, granddad.

It's about both of us wanting the same thing.

Equals.

All or nothing.

[phone ringing]

Not from Melissa, I take it?

I should just get over it.

She obviously has.

Sometimes it's just not meant to be.

Part of being grown-up is knowing

when to call it quits.

[piano music plays]

-[Ted] Strewth. -Unbelievable.

Where do you reckon they're hiding the Bat mobile?

When we find Alfred we'll ask him.

Nathan, ah, hi. Yeah.

We're just meeting up now so can you let me know

how long you're going to be.

You sure you can't tell?

What that you're wearing control tops?

That you look like a string of sausages.

Oh, I do don't I?

No. No.

[Julie] This was always a starve before wearing dress.

Mom, would you relax. You look beautiful.

You're not even starting to show yet.

[Sammy] Hi there. Nathan's running late.

Oh, so you managed to change your shifts then?

-Just. -[Ben] So where's your Mom

been hiding all her cash?

[Trish] Hello.

-[Ted] Hello Trish. -Hi everyone.

Thanks for coming.

Our table's right down the end.

[Julie] Oh, okay.

[Sammy] If there was anywhere Mom belonged,

it was hosting lunch.

Gob-smackingly expensive lunch.

Hey! Oh, that's your job is it?

Oh, no, no, no not for me thanks.

-Oh, go on, you must. -Mom.

Oh, dear, I'm in trouble already.

Are you sure? It's a treat, it's a celebration.

Look I'd love to but I'm...

-I'm pregnant. -Really?

Oh, God, no way!

That's what we all said.

[Trish] Oh, Julie congratulations.

It just goes to show you never know

what's around the corner.

And that is the joy of being alive.

So I say cheers, here's to the new baby

and just embracing whatever life brings.

[Ben] Whoa, this steak costs more than a new set of tires.

[Trish] Oh, ignore the prices,

that's what credit cards are for.

Oh, no Trish. We can't expect you

-to pay for all this. -[Trish] Nonsense,

choose whatever you like.

Okay, who wants to share an entree?

Mom, don't go too crazy.

Oh, don't worry about it.

It all goes on room service.

Your father'll never know.

Are you sure about that?

Well, if you must know I'm meeting him tomorrow.

The office called while I was in Italy.

It seems like we're finally going to

sort out who gets what.

And if I'm not in the country,

God knows what share Suki may grab.

You know she wasn't there at the very beginning,

but you can bet your life she'll be there at the end.

Well, have you got a lawyer working on this?

No, no. I'm going to sit down with your father

and I'm going to tell him what's what.

Hey, how good does the lamb sound?

Yeah, I'm thinking the lamb or the, uh, ocean trout.

[Trish] Hmm, what about the wagyu?

-Waa what? -[Dave] Ah it's steak.

Ah, this will be Nathan.

Ah, he's running late.

He said order entrees and he'll be here for mains.

Hmm. Exactly how it started with me and your father.

Oh, lose the look, I'm joking.

-Julie. -[Julie] Yeah.

Oh, are, are you okay?

[Julie] Bloody thing it's ridiculous!

Do I want to know?

[Julie] Ooh! Control tops!

Easy to get off, impossible to get back on.

It's like trying to shove a hippo into a sock.

Well, do you need a hand or are you right?

No. All sorted.

Thanks love but there are some things

one should never have to do for one's mother-in-law.

Ah, I don't know what I was thinking.

Oh, well more room for dessert I suppose.

Oh, yeah.

Listen, are you... are you alright?

You looked a bit worried out there.

I've seen it all before.

When Mom goes out of her way to convince you

that everything's great and...

I don't know. I just... I really hate it

when she makes jokes about Nathan.

Her life is not my life.

Oh, that's probably why she makes jokes.

Yeah.

Doesn't make it any easier though, does it?

[phone beeps]

Do you want me to see who it is?

Ah, it's probably Carbo. It can wait.

-[Sammy] Hey. -[Julie] Oh, hello.

[Nathan] Sorry I'm late.

[Rachel] Yeah, your people talking to their people.

[Sammy] It's okay. You're here now,

that's the main thing.

[Nathan] Sorry, we're just putting together

a major deal at work at the moment. So...

[Trish] Sit down. We'll get you a drink.

Oh, and a top up for me.

[Sammy] I'm so glad you're here.

[Nathan] Hmm, are things going okay?

Yes, as long as we keep the waiter

from filling up Mom's glass.

I'll be right back.

First time I've ever seen you do a runner

when there's free food involved.

Hey I'm not... I'm not bailing. I just...

I know the text won't be from Mel,

so I'm making myself not look at it.

-I'm pathetic. -Ben.

There needs to be some kind of pill

to make you stop feeling like this.

You know, just wipe out all the memories.

A wise person once said to me...

-Nan? -Of course.

She said the whole reason

for going through the bad times

is that you well and truly appreciate

the good times, when they come along.

And you know what,

there's chocolate souffle on the menu.

That's got to come down on the good side.

Yeah, maybe.

So I should really just check

and make sure this isn't from work, right?

I'll leave you to it.

I'll see you back in there.

No way.

-Oh, come on Ben. -[Ben] It's from Mel.

This message is from Mel.

I've just been ignoring it the whole time

-and it's from Mel. -Well, what'd she say?

I've got to go.

[Sammy] Ben had been lost without Melissa.

-Half of a whole. -[Ben] How much is that?

[Sammy] Now maybe she was back.

[Melissa] You were right.

You were always the one making the effort

and I was just...

I don't ever want to be just friends with you.

-So... -So?

Can we start again?

[Sammy] But now they belonged together.

[dramatic music playing]

Thanks for being there.

[Nathan] Wow! That was a whole new definition

to the word nightcap.

Did you see the price on that last bottle,

-did you see it? -I know the price

of that place Nathan, believe me.

Well, at least she's going to pass out in style.

Are you okay?

She's starting to lose it.

She just had too much to drink.

She's borderline delusional, Nathan.

Spending money she doesn't have.

Maybe I should have stayed with her tonight.

No, she'll sleep it off. She'll be fine.

You didn't hear her talking about this

meeting with Dad tomorrow.

It's like she honestly believes

he's going to give her this massive settlement.

Well, he has been generous in the past.

Yeah, but this is now, that's what she's not getting.

There's no endless supply of money anymore.

Things have changed.

Oh, you know the great thing about being pregnant

is you can be really smug

about other people's hangovers.

Yeah, yeah. At least I can do up my zipper

without the benefit of elastic undies.

Ooh, below the belt!

-Literally. -Yes.

Well you just wait 'till you're eating for two.

Having to look after you own little jellybean.

Yeah, that would make you my little jellybean's granny.

-Yeah? -[Sammy] Hey.

-Morning. -Hey you taking a sickie?

Oh, more like a mental health day.

Not mine, my mothers.

I think she'll need me on hand when she speaks to Dad.

If I've got a hangover imagine how she feels.

-Sorry, no offence. -No, none taken.

She did put it away last night, that's for sure.

Mmm.

Oh, can you thank her again for us.

That was an amazing meal.

Oh, yeah I will.

Or maybe I will thank Dad

as he's the one that's bankrolling her.

God knows how.

One of her off-shore accounts.

Probably Switzerland.

Yep. There it was again,

that weird sense of not quite belonging.

Well, uh, give our regards to Tony too.

Yeah, I will.

[Rachel] Right, I've got to go.

Um, are you coming with me Nathan?

Ah, no. I might stick around and have some breakie.

Okay. See you later. Hey bye, Sam, good luck.

[Sammy] Anyone with half a brain could see

Jake and Rachel

-belonged together. -[Jake] Morning.

-[Sammy] Except maybe Rachel. -[Rachel] Oh, no not today.

What, not even a g'day? That's harsh.

Oh, I can't deal with this, not today.

So we're just going to ignore it,

is that how we're going to deal with this?

Oh, I'm sorry did somebody say something?

Oh, very mature. Rachel, come on.

I mean admit it we had a great time.

All those amazing games of noughts and crosses.

Yes and I'm as surprised by that as you are.

Who said I'm surprised?

-I'm walking away now. -Okay.

-Yep, I'm ignoring you. -Fine.

See how good I am at ignoring you?

-[Jake] Yep. -Yeah and just for the record,

it will never happen again. Okay?

It was temporary insanity.

That's all it was.

Is this you ignoring me?

[chuckles]

So I'm thinking there hasn't been

a whole lot of shopping going on

while I've been gone.

The cupboards are as bare as the kitty.

Oh, lucky I came back because you two

would have died of malnutrition.

I've been dying of Mel-nutrition.

Oh, I even missed your lame jokes.

[Carbo] Hey Benno. What's for breakie?

-I don't believe it. -Surprise.

-You two? -Yes.

Yes.

I take it that means you're happy to see me?

Are you kidding me? Do you know

much of a wussy cry baby he's been?

Yeah, easy on the wussy.

And do you know the best part?

Ah, I'm going to go and do some shopping?

-How good is she? -I tell you what,

-are we happy to see her? -Absolutely.

Three people sharing the bills.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

Wincha!

Never ever leave us again.

Oh, I don't intend to.

Ahhh! Oh, Carbo you just touched my breasts.

-Yeah, I know. -Mate,

have you got your hand on my ass?

Yep.

I haven't got lipstick on my teeth do I?

-No you're fine. -And I don't look

like I've spent all morning getting ready.

-And yes, I know I did. -Oh, Mom,

take a deep breath.

Stick to your guns and you'll be fine.

If he wants a reconciliation

I'm not sure what I'm going to say.

You don't think that's what today's about, do you?

Oh, I don't know. It wouldn't be the first time

I've brought this marriage back from the brink.

Ah, Mom, I don't know if this is a...

Oh, my God, I don't believe it.

Alison, Nerida.

So good to see you both. It's been ages.

-You're looking fabulous. -[Nerida] Thank you darling.

[Sammy] Once again, Mom was right back in her element.

Oh, obviously before I disappeared to Europe.

Maybe that fundraiser at the Perlmans'?

-You remember Sammy of course? -Hi.

-Hi. -We are so sorry to hear

-about all the unpleasantness. -Oh, it'll blow over.

Actually I'm supposed to be meeting him.

-Tony? Here? -Yeah. Are we early?

-They did say half past. -Yeah.

-Mrs. Westaway? -Yes.

-Simon Radic. -Yes.

I represent your husband. Mr. Westaway

can't make the appointment, I'm sorry.

-He's travelling. -Travelling?

Yes. I'm his legal representative.

Could we move somewhere a little more private?

By all means.

Are you sure this is the right place?

Yes, I want to hear this. The little snake.

Mr. Westaway is very concerned

about your recent pattern of spending.

And what does that have to do with you?

-It's her money. -Mr. Westaway

and the liquidators of his company holdings

disagree with you.

[Trish] There's unencumbered money there.

Tony and I talked about this.

By my calculations, you've already exceeded

the agreed three month allowance

by somewhere in the region of $12,000.

May I have your credit cards please?

[Sammy] Do we really have to do this here?

-Those are my instructions. -I'm not standing for this.

Well, legal action will be taken

for the recovery of the excess

if you don't surrender the cards now.

You would of course also be liable

for any court costs.

This is wrong. It.. This is bullying.

I'm not the one who got us into this mess.

You do understand that, don't you?

-Mom. -[Trish] All I want

is what I'm owed. I'm not walking away

from 25 years of marriage with nothing.

Your husband is filing for bankruptcy.

Yes, that's right. Poor as a church mouse.

There's no money hidden anywhere.

Nothing ever went off-shore,

nothing ever went into someone else's name?

Your credit cards please, Mrs. Westaway?

Mom, don't.

No.

I'm going to need somewhere to live.

Well, my client no longer sees that as his concern.

In fact he asked me to express his disappointment

that you didn't use the allowance

-to establish yourself. -Did he also ask you

to humiliate my mother in public?

In the interests of clarity, I must inform you

that your husband's estate is now frozen.

No further funds will be forthcoming.

You'll need to rely on your own sources of income.

There are no sources of income.

Then you might like to seek some financial advice,

or as your husband asked me to suggest,

some career advice.

-[Sammy] Mom. -Ms. Westaway.

Your father also asked me to assure you

that the door is still open to any discussion

about your own financial circumstances.

-Oh. Thank God. -I'll say.

You know how much of a wuss he's been?

Well so everyone's been saying.

Hey, hey. Enough, enough of the wuss already.

-I wasn't that bad. -Ohhhh!

Okay, alright.

Well, that's fantastic news.

For both of you.

Thank you.

-They're getting married. -What?

Bonnie said she heard wedding bells.

Hey, what are you two talking about?

-Nothing. -Bonnie the psychic

bagel lady.

-Do I even want to know? -What?

Yeah, you'll know when it happens.

No, you don't want to know. Just ignore us.

[Julie] Oh, Sammy.

Um, I'm sorry. I...

I just didn't know where else to go.

Trish, what's happened?

There are... there are more bags

in the car.

Oh, well I'll get those.

I'll give you a hand with that.

Sorry Trish.

I'm so sorry to have to impose on you like this.

No, no, no, that... that's fine. What's going on?

Dad cut up all her credit cards

and we had to check out of the hotel so.

[Trish] If Sammy hadn't put the bill on her card,

they were calling the police.

[Sammy] Look, we're going to call around her friends

and, uh, find her a place. We just need

somewhere for her to stay tonight.

No, that... of course, that's fine.

[dramatic music playing]

Trish, um, Sammy's just getting some towels.

I thought you might like to have a bath.

I know it's not the answer to everything

but it always makes me feel better

when I'm feeling stressed.

I don't know what I'm going to do.

I don't have any money.

I can't even afford bus fare.

Ha, just as well I hate the bus.

God Julie,

do you know how lucky you are?

I bet you never thought you'd hear me say that,

did you?

Never in a million years.

Then Sammy's brought you to the right place then.

[Sammy] Um, Mom, I don't think

we need another night of champagne.

You don't have to have any if you don't want to.

It's the closest thing I can afford to therapy.

Rachel, you're having some.

Oh, I... Okay, I guess I am.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

[Trish] You know, I don't think

I've ever filled out a deposit slip in my life.

At the bank, you know when you put the money in.

Not that I'm going to have to worry about that

in the near future, but I was thinking about it.

Hmm, my father always did it.

He took care of the banking for me,

for my mother, you know we were women after all.

And then there was Tony.

He just did it.

It just took care of everything.

-Ooh! -[Julie] Ohhh!

-[Trish] I'm sorry. -[Julie] No it's, no, no, no.

Trish, it's... it's fine.

[Trish] No, no, no. I'll clean it up.

-I've got it Trish. -Dave, I said I would do it!

You see? You see, I'm useless,

I can't do anything! Not a thing.

I mean, God help me if I ever have twenty dollars

to my name, what would I do with it?

How would I ever put it in the bank?

It's a stupid little piece of paper

and I don't even know what to write on it.

[cries]

Come on.

I've missed this.

Doner kebabs?

Doing things with you.

Up to and including Doner kebabs.

Oh, sorry. Oh!

Looks like we've got a stalker.

[Ben] Who do you belong to, hey?

I don't know.

There's a collar but no name tag.

Someone should slip this dog a breath mint.

Hey, hey.

Here where's you owner mate?

[Ben] Hey. Unless it's Scooby Doo,

it can't understand you.

Well maybe he lives nearby.

What are you doing?

If there's no meat to eat he might head home.

But that was... that was the best bit.

[Ben] I know.

Okay boy, it is time to go home.

Hey, unless you've got a can opener and a microwave,

there's nothing in there for you.

Try speaking dog. That might help.

Ah, yeah. I already told her that.

Hey, ah, Melissa this is Jake.

The famous Melissa. The one you've been pining about.

Yep, that's the one. Leave it.

[Melissa] Oh, he must have been dumped,

that's why he's so hungry.

Well he's a dog, he smells foods

and he goes for it.

I think I just described myself.

[Jake] [laughs] You and me both.

So what am I bringing tonight?

Oh, just some beers or whatever you want to drink.

-We've got the rest covered. -[Jake] Bundy?

-[Ben] Yeah. Vodka. -Um, hello,

-we have a dog crisis here. -[Jake] Yeah,

and if you make us watch the Bledisloe without a drink

we're going to have a bigger one.

[laughter]

Great.

Yes the dog.

Hey, who's this?

We've picked up a stray.

You're not the only ones.

Mom?

Hi. Um, Trish I just wanted to say

if you want to stay in my room tonight it's fine.

Oh, Rachel, no you don't have to.

[Rachel] No really. I'm sure I'll fit on the couch

a lot better than you and Nathan will.

Thank you.

I'm so embarrassed.

What must you all think of me?

Oh, that you're terrible person.

[laughs] Don't worry about it, join the club.

Well, come on.

Let's move you next door so you can get some sleep.

You'll feel better in the morning.

[Sammy] Okay, she's sleeping.

There's pharmaceutical help involved I'm sure

but whatever does the trick, I guess.

-She'll be okay. -Yeah.

[Rachel] Okay. I'm going to head next door.

[Julie] Oh, no. I'm making chicken and potato salad.

Oh, keep me some. They're watching the Bledisloe.

They'll probably have some chips and dip there.

[Sammy] Actually choosing to watch the rugby?

Ooh, we really are chasing you out of your own home.

No Sammy, you don't understand.

The All Blacks are playing.

Go on, say it Dad.

Un-Australian. That's what it is.

They're just much better looking.

Un-Australian.

[Rachel] Bye.

-[Sammy] Bye. -[Julie laughs]

It's not funny. Jules?

I'm just wondering if she knows that Jake's over there?

Hello.

Hello.

What are you doing here?

Hey what's your name?

Rachel, hi. Come on in.

Ah, not you puppy, no, no, no, no, you stay.

Stay. Stay.

-Friend of yours? -[Melissa] Ah, stray.

[Rachel] Oh, right. Oh, but he's so cute.

Can't he come in and watch the game with us?

Ah, Carbo's put his foot down.

-Ah, ah, ah. Stay here puppy. -[Rachel] No stay.

[Melissa] Good dog. Good dog.

-Hey. -[Ben] Hey.

[Carbo] Hurry up. The game's about to start.

What are you doing here?

Watching the game they play in heaven.

Don't let me scare you off.

No, that would mean I'd have to acknowledge your presence.

Right.

Sit down Rachel.

-Sorry. Sorry. -Come on.

Move.

I didn't pick you as a rugby fan.

Oh, why would you? It's not like you know

the first thing about me.

I know some things.

[Carbo] Will you two shut up.

Come on, where's your sense of patriotism? Join in.

Ah, it's about a sheep rustler

who would rather drown himself than be arrested.

[laughs] Oh, just shut up and sing.

Now, I don't know how it is in the netball,

but in the rugby this is the bit where we get excited.

Go Aussie.

Yeah, go All Blacks. Come on New Zealand!

No, no, no that's the wrong team.

[Rachel screams]

[Ben] She goes for the All Blacks.

-[Jake] She what? -She does it to stir us up.

Don't give her the reaction she's looking for.

What do you want to be? A wanta-Wallaby!

Go Kiwis! Come on!

Come on Aussie, go you good thing!

[Dave] Come on Aussies! Go you good things!

-Dave, Dave, Dave! -What?

-Trish is asleep. -Oh, sorry.

-Go you good things. -[Sammy] No, it's okay

I'm pretty sure she's knocked out for the night.

So make as much noise as you like.

Why don't you come and sit with us, darling?

-Yeah, Cheezel? -[Sammy] Actually no,

I think I'm going to pass on the game, but thanks though.

Hey, hey, hey! Go the mighty Wallabies!

-Dad. -What?

[whispers] Trish.

Oh, alright sorry.

-[Dave] Oh, bloody hell. -Oh! Useless,

-absolutely useless. -Dave.

Why, we're playing New Zealand.

Well, there's no need to make such a big song

and dance about it, is there?

Drop it. Drop it.

Drop it, drop it, drop it.

Yes!

Knock on!

[laughs] Oh, and the Aussies snatch defeat

from the jaws of victory once again.

Yeah, the game's not over yet.

Hmm, sixteen points to ten.

-Ho-oh! -Oh, off side.

Off side.

Oh, I swear to God this ref is blind.

Do you even know the rules?

Oh, just because I don't go for your team.

But our team, Rachel, Australia, our team.

Oh, but the All Blacks are just so much better looking.

Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, go, go, go, go, go.

-Go! -[Jake] Take it down.

-Yes! They're better looking? -Yeah, hello.

That's all that counts with you, isn't it?

Mm, get off him!

Sex that's all it's about. That's all it comes down to.

[Rachel] Go, yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes!

Yeahhhhhhh!

That's Rachel.

The All Blacks must be winning.

You sure you're okay?

Why am I the one that has to sort out my parent's lives?

Why can't they just do it for themselves?

Oh, I know that's selfish but aren't they the ones

that are supposed to be supporting me?

At least until they're really old and drooling.

Your mom's a survivor Sam, she'll sort herself out.

I keep thinking that's got to be true, but I don't know,

somehow I think it's up to me.

And me.

-Poor Mom. -Huh?

She might never have this again.

-What? -This?

Oh!

I really feel for her, Nathan.

It's awful.

Definitely Rachel.

I guess we lost.

Alright Rachel, we know you won, we lost.

Yes but by how many points, Benny boy?

Huh, how many?

Go on just say it, just say it.

-Come on say it. Say it? -Okay leave,

-just leave it Rachel! -Get rid of her!

Hm, you've gone awfully quiet. Nothing to say?

-That's a turn up. -Not saying a word.

Oh, well how about I'll say one for you then,

no actually I'll say two words.

Bad loser.

See you mate, thank you.

Sorry about her, she's my sister

and Mom says that I can't kill her.

Yeah, actually three words, very bad loser.

Go home. Now.

Okay, okay. Yep, fine sorry.

And hey, don't worry about the humiliating defeat.

I mean, I'm sure there's always next game.

-Go! -Oh, Rachel just get out!

Ooh.

Hey. Hey.

Hey oh!

Down boy, down. Good boy.

I can't believe they're going to make you sleep out here

the rest of the night.

Go on do the hop of shame, Wallaby.

Oh, please you're not talking to me

because of a rugby game?

That's a little bit immature don't you think?

Were you even in there?

Were you listening to yourself?

Yeah, I got into it, I made some noise.

Sometimes that happens.

Oh, don't even try to make that

-into some sort of innuendo. -What?

[Rachel] Oh, you know what you were about to--

I can't believe you don't even go for your own team?

-I told you that is because-- -[Jake] Yeah,

it's the perve factor, I get it.

[Rachel] Hey down boy, down.

What me or the dog?

Oh, that is really hilarious.

Yep that's really funny.

-Good night. -Good night.

[Carbo] Hey worked up a sweat?

Hey boy.

I haven't seen you before?

[Carbo] Yeah, followed Ben and Melissa home.

Posters up everywhere.

Nothing so far.

So it's lost?

Oh, poor thing.

What if its owners don't want it?

Not my problem.

Nowhere to go, huh?

That wasn't going to be Mom.

We were going to find her somewhere.

Ohh!

Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to wake you

I'm just making a coffee for Mom.

Oh, my God.

And I promise to pay for all chiropractic bills.

-Huh? -[Sammy] The couch,

it's a killer for your back.

Oh, yeah.

Right.

Do you want a coffee?

No, thank you.

[Sammy] Hey, oh,

-how did this get in there? -What?

Oh, um, nothing.

I just over celebrated a bit last night that's all.

Oh, yes the rugby.

You're right you know, the All Blacks are way hotter.

And don't worry you won't be sleeping on that couch

for much longer, I promise.

I'm going to go and sort Mom out,

starting with a caffeine fix

[knocks on door]

Mom.

Mom.

It's time to get up.

Come on, I made you a coffee.

Look I've got to go to work

but if you call around now I can drop you.

-I'm tired. -Come on, get up.

[Trish] Sammy, I can't go out there.

I can't face them.

[Sammy] You have to Mom.

You can't stay here.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I just...

I just need one more day to get things sorted.

Yep. Oh, that's great.

Thanks, I will.

Oh, I hate doing that.

Oh, hey, the amount of overtime you do for them.

Yeah, I know.

Ah, look thank you so much for letting her stay here.

Oh, would you stop being so grateful.

We're not used to it from our children,

-we don't expect it from you. -[Dave] Yeah,

we like being taken for granted.

We don't feel like real parents otherwise.

Alright I'll stop.

Right. Well, I'm going to take a shower.

Oh, I can't imagine what that must be like.

To all of a sudden have nothing

and to have to start again.

[Trish] I'm looking on it as a challenge.

You know a new broom and all that.

-Trish, hi. How'd you sleep? -Like a baby.

Would you like some breakfast?

[Trish] Oh, that'd be lovely.

I wanted to say sorry that you had to witness

that terrible scene last night.

You know so operatic. So unnecessary.

No apology needed.

Everyone has their tough times.

I've lost my charger and, um, I was wondering

if I could make a few phone calls

then I'll be out of your hair.

-Sure. -Oh, oh the wedding of course.

No, no, no, no, Nerida. I completely understand.

Yep, okay thanks. Bye.

Belinda, Trish Westaway.

Alright. Well, have a great time.

Oh, yeah maybe I'll do just that.

Yep. Okay, thanks.

Oh, great.

[Sammy] If there's one thing I've learnt from the Rafters,

it's family comes first and Mom was my family.

She belonged to me.

Mr. Radic.

Sammy Rafter.

-Miss Westaway. -It's Mrs. Rafter.

-Coffee? -No, this won't take long.

I, um, have a message for your client.

Your father.

Oh, well seeing as he's too gutless to return my calls,

let's just call him your client.

-You listening? -Should I be taking notes?

No, you'll get the gist.

I want my father to think about a few things.

I want him to think of my mother as a person

and not just some bad debt that he has to write off

and then walk away from.

If this is personal, I'm sorry it, it's not my--

[Sammy] Of course this is personal.

This is his wife we're talking about here.

His wife of twenty-five years.

Those credit cards you cut up, that was her lifeline.

Her chance to set herself up.

With Italian shoes and handbags.

[Sammy] It was always shoes and handbags

that was the trade-off. He did this to her.

He never had time for her

so he gave her money to go shopping.

He created this problem and now he's just walked away?

Unless this regards your own welfare,

I'm afraid I can't help you. I came here assuming--

[Sammy] Assuming what? That I wanted money.

That was your father's understanding.

Oh, so you've spoken to him?

I placed a call.

Well, I don't want a cent from him.

Not for myself.

But whether he likes it or not

he owes my Mom, he owes her big time.

Mrs. Rafter, perhaps I'm not making myself clear.

There is no money.

Oh, but there's money for me?

Less than you'd imagine.

Whatever there is, give it to Mom.

She's the one that married him, not me.

And if he ever wants to see me again he'll pay her.

So you can tell him that word for word.

Not that it's going to change anything.

I bet it made you feel better, though?

Oh, talking to my Dad through his lawyer?

That's not normal Nathan. That's dysfunctional.

It's sad.

When I brought Mom here yesterday,

do you know how kind your parents were, Rachel was?

I mean you've only known me for two years

but you've shown me more genuine love in that time

than Dad ever has.

You're my family.

Yeah. Yes of course we are.

And I get it now.

Dad's gone,

his money's gone, my security's gone.

But you're my security.

All of you.

Well then,

welcome to the family Mrs. Rafter.

[phone ringing]

Oh, my God.

What?

Dad.

You arranged this?

I spoke to his lawyer, said a few things

and obviously some of it got through.

Fifty thousand dollars, is that it?

Well, it's better than nothing.

Yes. Yes you're right, of course.

I mean it's a windfall Sammy. A lottery win.

I had nothing. Thank you.

Ah, but you have to make it last.

Well, we can celebrate first, can't we?

Celebrate?

Julie, it's a miracle.

Who would have thought Tony still had a heart?

-Oh, why, what's happened? -He's agreed to a settlement.

-A small settlement, Trish. -That's wonderful.

[Trish] It is wonderful and we are going to celebrate.

-Dinner my treat. -Whoa.

Mom, you're not getting it, you're on a budget now.

Oh, we'll celebrate first, budget later.

No. This is it, fifty thousand and that's it.

No more money from Dad. Ever.

-Darling I know that. -Do you?

You still have to get a job, find a place to live

and this money is to get you back on your feet.

You have to make it last.

Well, we can still celebrate with sausages.

What the hell I'll throw in the chops as well.

Oh, Julie that'd be lovely. Now can I help in any way?

[Sammy]We all belong somewhere.

Exactly where is sometimes the question.

-Sorry. -Watch it.

-Sorry. -You did that on purpose.

-I did not. -Right.

-[Ben] Don't. -[Melissa] In your face.

Friendly little mutt isn't he?

Oh, obviously not friendly enough.

No calls from any owners yet.

I was talking about Ben.

-Huh. -Thanks.

Oh, don't worry puppy.

You've got a home here for as long as you need it.

What was that?

-Hey Carbo, shhh! -What?

-The dog. -So?

He can sense your body language and your tone.

I know what's going on here.

-Compassion. -Kindness.

Nesting.

Exactly. Thank you Ted.

That's what's going on here.

You guys are back together before we know it

the dog gets a name, the dog's ours.

-Carbo. -[Carbo] The dog's not ours

and the dog goes, okay.

The owner can pick him up from the pound.

There are three of us living in the house now.

-I say we put it to a vote. -Uh-huh.

All those in favor of the dog staying

until the owner turns up...

[Carbo] Hey, wait. That's not fair.

-You can't do that. -Democracy in action.

Don't talk to me about democracy.

Do you know who invented democracy?

-The Greeks. -The Greeks.

-The Greeks -[Melissa] Exactly.

So let's put it to a vote.

La, la, la, la...

incha!

[Trish] No. Dave you're not listening.

[Sammy] Mom was adjusting to her new circumstances.

Ooh, putting her to work I see.

Got to earn my keep somehow.

Yeah, I've just found out the difference

between a dessert spoon and a soup spoon.

See, not useless at all.

And, ah, I'm coming to grips

with our brand new coffee machine.

-Mom. -[Trish] Oh, relax.

It won't break the bank and it's the least I can do.

Everyone's been so generous.

Well, we bought some Australian sparkling.

One bottle.

Oh, a concession to my extravagant tastes?

Hm, no. It's a little something to help you,

ah, celebrate scoring fifty grand.

Yeah, and learning to live on a budget.

Thank you.

Hey so how did the ring around go? Any takers?

No not brilliantly.

The bathroom's being renovated,

the guest wing's being fumigated,

we're going overseas tomorrow

and the flat out, no.

-Oh, I'm sorry, Mom. -Yeah.

Do you think the fact that I can't pick up the tab

for lunch anymore might have something to do with it?

Oh, none whatsoever I'm sure.

Well, um, let's find you a cheap hotel

and I'm just going to jump online

-and see what I can find. -Oh, Sammy there's...

there's no rush.

Well, that is unless you want your space.

Ah, yeah. I was about to offer the same thing.

We can't put you out on the street.

Just stay here until you get yourself sorted.

[Trish] Oh. I... I don't know what to say.

Thank you. I'm...

[Sammy] And just like that, I knew that I belonged.

My family was their family.

We fitted.

I just hope they don't live to regret the offer.

Oh! [laughs]
