[theme music playing]

[Dave] Six runs to win and one ball to bowl.

They might call it a "friendly".

But a weekend knock-around with the local second eleven?

It's anything but...

it's a contest.

A test of skills, a test of manhood.

[man] Oh, Warney.

[Dave] But as any cricket fan will tell you,

the spin on the ball can be very hard to read.

And when life sends down a googly...

that's the real test.

My first challenge was facing my last day at Barrett's.

I'm proud of you.

Hey, Dave, don't forget the keys to the van

'cause you won't be needing them anymore.

Catch.

You're gonna have to do better than that, Dave.

You still playing cricket on the weekend

-or did you quit that too? -Why don't you leave this

and I'll... and I'll bring it home.

No I've got it.

Well, have a nice life everyone.

Nice working with you all.

Ron, your idea of loyalty stinks

but it wasn't all that bad.

No hard feelings.

Your decision, Dave.

Um, you're always welcome back.

No, I won't be back.

Unless of course I hear that Julie's copping grief

for no good reason.

And I will be.

The first day of the rest of my life.

So why did I feel like the rules of the game

were suddenly shifting?

-Hey, Dad. -Hey, Dave.

[Nathan] How did Ron take the news?

[Dave] Ron wasn't happy but he gets what he gets.

So you've just left? No, no two weeks notice?

Yeah, why waste time?

-Where's the van? -[Dave] Gone with the job.

[Nathan] Well, you won't be wanting the garage then.

Because the Volvo... it needs a garage.

And if you're vanless then no problem.

-Well, what about mom's car? -[Nathan] Come on, Dad.

Any more rust on that pile of junk,

it'd be a bonus.

It's what's holding it together.

-[Sammy] Nathan-- -No, it's all right.

Dad knows, it's fine.

Um, do you want to give us a hand?

Sure.

Dad, um, that's great.

Just dump them in the hall and we'll be out in a sec.

[Ben] Ah, the man himself.

Thought I recognized the European car.

-What's with all the boxes? -You know why.

Don't tell me you're moving back home.

And where are you? Where are you living?

You're on Carbo's sofa bed.

Not at home but, not back in my old room.

Not like some.

Hang on, what was it you used to call me?

-Ben... -"Tragic Loser".

-Hurts doesn't it? -I'll leave you to it.

Hope you two aren't gonna play silly buggers

the whole time you're back here.

No, Ben doesn't have the word-power for it.

That was pretty much it I think.

Anyway, I was just thinking,

about you walking in on Sammy and I before,

I think we're gonna have to lay down some ground rules.

Not a biggie, but obviously we're not kids anymore,

and we're gonna have to start

respecting each other's privacy.

-Nathan, the door was open. -Sure.

But if it is shut in the future,

maybe just... maybe just knock, yeah?

Oh, and about the garage, when do you think you might

get a chance to start clearing out some space?

Soon.

Soon, good. Cool. Leave you to it.

[dramatic music playing]

[guitar music playing]

Mr. Rafter, hi. Do you have a minute?

-Ah, well-- -[Melissa sighs]

I'm so glad I caught you.

Um, um, listen,

I can understand how this could be awkward for you

but you really don't have to be embarrassed.

Look, we don't have to talk about this right now.

No, I wanna clear the air.

I'm a nurse.

I see things like that all the time.

Well, maybe not all the time

but the genitals are just another body part to me.

Okay. Yeah, yep.

And as for those pills, I mean,

men take them all the time and often incorrectly.

-Look, I've got to go now. -Sure.

I just wanted you to know that it's between us, okay?

-Okay. -Patient confidentiality.

-Okay, thanks. -Okay. Bye.

[sighs]

So, Dad, um, sorry have you found

any jobs in the paper?

Oh, I don't know.

I'll just leave it for a few days.

And then what?

I'm thinking about starting my own business.

Mm.

You do know you're gonna need some experience for that.

He's got experience.

Yeah, with the electrical stuff,

sure, but what about the rest of it?

What about, uh, you know having a business plan

and marketing and strategy, you know, all that stuff...

Well, it's not rocket science. I'll pick it up.

Like I said, no rush.

-No. -Cool.

-Dave... -What?

You can't walk around like that

now that Sammy's here.

Whose house is it? She's gone to bed anyway.

Got an early start.

Why didn't you tell the kids that Ted was moving in?

Yeah, one step at a time.

-Is he all right? -Yeah, he's fine.

He needs some time to get back on his feet.

[Nathan laughs]

[chuckles]

Might have to get the place sound proofed.

Yeah, well, if we do, they're paying for it.

[laughs]

-How was work today? -Not the same.

I swear if anyone tries anything,

Ron or Warney...

Oh, I can fight my own battles, thank you.

You focus on finding a job.

I can do all those things that Nathan said.

I know.

Hey, you made the break.

Now make the most of it.

-[moaning] -[Dave] Oh, yeah.

-[moaning] -[Dave] Oh, baby.

-[Julie moaning] -[laughter]

[Dave] Oh yeah!

-Do you think they heard? -[laughter]

No.

You know, this is stupid.

-Come here. -Nathan, no.

What do you mean no?

Now I feel all self-conscious.

Are we really that loud?

No. We were just getting started.

No, no, but have you ever heard them

like that before?

No, I haven't.

Well, maybe since you moved out

they've been getting a little bit--

More adventurous?

-Ugh! -[laughs]

Oh, now you're making me self-conscious.

-Why is that though? -What?

Well, the last thing in the whole world

you want to hear is your parents having sex.

Oh, no, it'll be us one day.

-No, it won't. -[laughs]

Come on, we can keep it down.

Apparently not, so...

[Dave] How much actual sex we'd get to enjoy,

that was another matter.

Especially the way the household was growing.

So I picked up the clothes you wanted.

-I hope I got everything. -Did anyone see you?

No. And even if they did, what does it matter?

You're convalescing at your daughter's house.

That's all they need to know.

You haven't said anything to anyone?

-No, of course not. -Not Dave?

No. Trust me,

he's got other things on his mind anyway.

Look, Dad, however long you need,

whatever it takes, it's okay.

Let's get you home.

Here, give me that.

[car door closes]

[Dave] Good to see you, Ted.

Sorry, I didn't get to the hospital with Julie.

Too busy sorting this place out.

You'll have to stick with us.

Bit of a madhouse at the moment

but we'll be right.

-I'll take that. -No, I'm fine.

I'm not an invalid.

Dad, you're just out of hospital.

I'm...fine.

[Dave] You're in Ben's old room,

if that's okay.

Don't worry. It's been fumigated.

There you go. All yours.

I'm not sure what the doctor's instructions are

but I've got a six-pack on ice for later if you're thirsty.

Another time, eh?

He's um... He's tired.

[Dave] But whatever the deal with Ted,

the was nothing compared to the grenade

that was lobbed at our front door

later that night.

[doorbell rings]

-Rachel? -Mom... [sobs]

-Oh, baby. -[Rachel sobbing]

What's going on?

-I need to talk to mom. -Rachel?

[Rachel] No, please, Dad, just mom.

No, I need to know who did this to you.

-Rachel-- -Dave, please.

[dramatic music playing]

[door opens]

Hey. It's just me.

-Um, is Rachel here? -Yep.

[Nathan] Yeah, 'cause I just...

I thought I heard her and mom.

Just didn't sound like I should interrupt.

No.

Is everything okay with Rachel?

-Is-- -Who was it?

Um, Nathan, can you give us a sec?

Yeah, sure. Night.

Listen, leave Rachel for now.

She's, um... She's sleeping.

Okay.

-It's not gonna work. -What?

-Having him and Sammy here. -Oh, Dave.

So what's going on? Am I...

-Am I calling the police? -She doesn't want that.

-It was Daniel? -Yep.

I'm gonna take his head off.

It's not gonna solve anything.

Well, what am I supposed to do?

-He bashed my daughter. -She wants to see you.

I thought you said she was asleep.

She wants her dad.

[dramatic music playing]

[Dave] You okay?

I will be.

-I feel so stupid. -This isn't your fault.

[Rachel] And it isn't Daniel's fault.

You know, every instinct I have

is to jump in my car right now.

The thought of anyone laying a finger on you--

Yeah, Daniel's got problems.

He should be having problems with the police.

No, no. Please, I don't want that.

I just want to... forget everything.

Rachel, you can't pretend this didn't happened.

I know it's just...

[sniffles]

He used to be so happy, you know.

So funny.

Now he just gets angry.

Alcohol?

I don't know what to do.

Well, you just stay right here.

And you promise me you'll stay away from Daniel.

Dad, promise you won't hurt him.

Rachel, this guy hits you and you're protecting him?

Dad, promise?

Dad...

You promise you'll never see him again?

Yes.

Mr. Rafter?

We've got to stop meeting like this.

What happened?

I got myself into a bit of a situation.

What situation?

Dave?

[Melissa] Well, no fractures. That's good news.

[scoffs] You wouldn't be saying that

if you were playing cricket tomorrow.

This guy really went for you.

Have you seen him like this before?

Never.

He just went nuts.

You know he's always been a great guy.

Polite, and helpful.

It's... Why?

Would you describe him as a party boy?

I don't know. Likes to drink.

Have you ever seen him sweating,

off his food, irrational, snappy?

Why?

Sounds like he could be using crystal meth.

What?

Don't quote me on it but we see

so much of it around here.

Symptoms are pretty obvious.

Crystal meth?

Oh, my God, what happened?

Oh, I went and visited Daniel.

-Daniel did this? -Yeah.

-Or his psychotic double. -Oh, darling.

-Are you okay? -Yeah, I will be.

-Nothing broken. -[sighs]

What were you thinking?

Anything could've happened.

-And you promised Rachel. -[Dave] Yeah.

And I should've kept it.

All I know is we might have a bigger problem

than a broken promise.

Well, Daniel definitely wasn't himself

at our anniversary.

And she looked terrible the next day.

Yeah. Well, he's involved her in drugs or--

We can't know that.

Well, we know she's been partying.

[door opens]

You all right, mate?

[exhales]

Rachel first all right. What are we gonna do?

I... We're gonna have to tread carefully.

Respect her as an adult and talk to her.

Well, she can't go back to work.

Not with him there.

And I think it should just be me.

Jules, you're not shutting me out of this.

[Julie] Look at your face.

What sort of message is that sending?

I mean, if we wanted to talk openly with her,

she's got to trust us.

Just I think you should go to the cricket tomorrow,

get some of that aggression out on Warney.

I'm not gonna play cricket. She's my daughter too.

Shh. Okay, shush.

Just until I've had a chance to talk to her

about Daniel, okay?

Please just leave this one to me.

[dramatic music playing]

Got to get my own car.

It's like losing a testicle.

You'll be in freelance one day.

Give yourself a break.

Call me, okay? Let me know how you get on.

Good luck against Warney and co.

Yeah, like I need like a hole in the head.

What a day of all days to have to be playing that mob.

Think of the morale boost when you win.

Yeah. We will win.

[Ben] Hey, Dad. You're off early.

Was gonna grab a lift to the game.

Ooh, what happened to you?

-Can't talk, mate. -But um--

I'll see you at the oval.

[car door closes]

[engine revs]

-[Julie] Oh. -Oh, morning.

Like Central Station in here.

Oh, did no one think to put the kettle on?

[Nathan] No, we were gonna grab a coffee in town.

Saturday's my big inspection day

and, uh, Sammy's got an early start.

Actually, Nathan, we've gotta go.

Running late. See you guys tonight.

-Bye. -[Nathan] Um, Mom,

-what's the deal with Ray? -Nothing.

Well, I heard her crying last night.

-Uh, she's fine. -I was gonna take her a juice.

No, actually, she's okay, really.

-You get to work. -Okay, bye.

[Julie] Bye.

Do you get the feeling we should've read

-the fine print? -[car alarm beeps]

What do you mean?

Well, I didn't sign up for this.

Grandpa moping around like a wet towel,

Rachel crying all night.

[Sammy] Well, she was obviously upset

about something.

[Nathan] Obviously she was and I feel for her

but, is this what you wanted?

It takes us half an hour longer to get to work,

we wanna go out then we have to go straight from work.

If I'm driving, then I can't drink

and if I'm not driving,

then it costs a fortune in cabs.

Yeah, but it's okay, it's comfortable.

-Is it? -[Sammy] Mm.

-It's not forever. -It's long enough.

Nathan, they're your family.

Yep, they are my entire family.

Like I said, not in the fine print.

-How are you, Dad? -Ah, didn't sleep too well.

-Is Rachel okay? -Yeah, she's fine.

-She's just, um-- -G'day, Granddad,

-how's it going? -[Ted] Ben.

Hey, talk about good timing, me moving out and all.

How long are you planning on staying?

I'll be in my room.

So, is that Rachel's car in the street?

-Yep. -What's going on?

-[door closes] -[Julie] Nothing.

Hey, Dad didn't get into a ruck

-with Ron Barrett, did he? -No, of course not.

I don't wanna talk about it, okay?

Well, that's what he said. Come on, what happened?

Ben, I've got other things on my mind.

You moved next door, just keep your mind

-on next door's business. -Yeah, okay.

Sorry. Just asking.

[Carbo] No, no, no, it's terrible.

Look, Mom, I really need to go.

Look, I'm busting to go to the toilet, Mom.

Yeah, it was good to hear your voice too.

And say hi to everyone. Say hi to Aunty Narelle.

Yeah, I love you too. Bye.

-[sighs] -[Ben] Hey, Carbo?

Just give me a second, please.

You all right?

Yeah, yeah, I was just talking to my mom.

-In Greece? -[Carbo] Of course in Greece.

Well, not about the party, did someone dob?

No, no, no. It's all sweet.

She's just worried about my Aunty Narelle

-and Uncle Dimitri. -All right.

Hey, get a load of this.

I just saw Dad with this awesome shiner

and Mom's so full on dirty about something

-she won't even talk to me. -No way.

This is too much of a coincidence.

-Weird. -What is?

Well, my Aunty Narelle and Uncle Dimitri.

Your old man just got retrenched, right?

-So? -[Carbo] So the same thing

happened to my Uncle Dimitri.

Next thing you know, he's fighting with my aunty,

and he's having an affair.

Yeah, but Dad wouldn't.

Well, I'm just saying it happens, mate.

You know, man loses his job,

his self-esteem goes down the gurgler,

he starts looking around.

Yeah, but not in less than 24 hours.

And Dad wasn't retrenched, he resigned.

Well, how come he's got a black eye then?

You're a crackup. You seriously are a crackup.

Not everything has to be a Greek tragedy.

[dramatic music playing]

-[indistinct chatter] -[Dave] Jules was right.

Get it all out on the field.

It'd be my turn to help Rachel soon enough.

You playing it defensive today.

Yeah, I'm not taking anything for chance.

Not against Warney.

[indistinct chatter]

-[Dave] Thanks, John. -Oh, crumbs.

What'd you do to your eye, darling?

That looks awful.

-[Carbo] What'd I tell you? -What?

About your dad getting toey.

Look right there.

Don't be stupid, that's Chrissy.

It's Mom's best friend.

She always comes to cricket matches.

[Carbo] Yep, that's who my Uncle Dimitri ended up with,

my Aunty Narelle's best friend.

[Ben] Shut up.

I'm telling you, it happens. Bet you any money.

Any money you like.

[crowd cheering]

[whimsical music playing]

Mates rate?

No, I'm not looking for mates rates.

No, it's just a couple of jobs if you could come

and have a look at them for me.

Right. Are you signing me up

for my first freelance gig, are you?

Well, yes, I suppose I am.

[Warney] G'day, Dave.

How's unemployment land?

Hey, I've been looking for a few jobs for you online

but it's not looking good for old farts, so.

Don't worry, darling. You're really not that old.

[indistinct chatter]

No way.

Dad, look who I recruited to your cheer squad.

Hey, Carbo, haven't seen you for a while.

Mr. Rafter.

Where's Mom?

[clatters]

Hi.

Oh, hi.

No one here?

Good.

Don't think I could stand the scrutiny.

Did you manage to get some sleep?

-[Rachel] No. -You hungry?

No.

Come and sit with me.

Hm, sounds ominous.

Listen sweetheart, I'm not gonna sugarcoat this.

Okay.

Your dad and I are here for you.

You know that, don't you?

And you're getting all serious because?

Does Daniel take drugs?

Specifically, does he take crystal meth?

Is that why he hit you?

What makes you think that?

Your dad went over there.

-He promised. -Yeah, he knows he promised.

-Yeah, well, he had no right. -So it is true?

[sighs] Look, Daniel is sick. He is an addict.

[Julie] Daniel attacked your father.

He ended up in hospital.

No.

Well, that's awful. Where is he?

He's all right. He's at the cricket.

But look he's...

he's worried about you, Rachel.

We both are.

I mean, if Daniel's doing that,

-then we can't help-- -No, Mom. No.

Look I... I'm not judging you, okay?

-I just-- -No, Mom.

Are you telling me the truth?

I'm not doing drugs. I swear.

I am not doing drugs.

[dramatic music playing]

Okay.

[Dave] And there we were,

18 runs off their total and I was on fire.

Dave.

[Warney] Keep going.

Keep going.

Stop. Come in a bit.

[Carbo] What's taking him so long?

Typical Warney tactic.

He's trying to psych Dad out.

Don't worry. Your father can handle it.

What's your name again?

Carbo. Nick.

Open this for us, Nick?

[Carbo] Sure.

[dramatic music playing]

[man] Put some spin on it, Warney, come on,

put some spin on it.

[Ben] Come on, Dad, keep it together.

Don't let him get to you.

[dramatic music playing]

[pops]

[groans]

[exclaims, laughter]

[Carbo] That's gotta hurt!

Oh, Warney. Oh.

Sorry, mate. I'm really sorry.

[groans]

[Dave] Suddenly, it was war.

[dramatic music playing]

[Ben] Come on, Dad, smack him out of the paddock!

Hit him for six!

[Dave] And that was the plan.

Six off the last ball.

Sweet victory within reach.

[man] Ooh, Warney! [laughs]

[dramatic music playing]

[crowd cheering]

[Dave] But Warney had sent down that googly.

And we were gone.

[Warney] Nice work! Off you go!

Woo-hoo!

-Warney's a jerk, Dad. -Good bowler but.

Tell me something I don't know.

-Well, I'm out of here. -Where are you going?

You said you had some jobs you wanted me to do?

-Yeah. -Well, you live around here.

-Let's do it now. -Okay.

See you, boys.

Any money you like.

[sighs]

[dramatic music playing]

[Dave] I thought I said this before,

but Greg didn't exactly skimp on the divorce settlement.

[Chrissy] [chuckles] With my lawyer,

he was lucky to escape with a shirt on his back.

But as Dolly Parton once said,

"It costs a lot of money to look this cheap."

You don't look cheap, you look great.

[laughs] Oh, thanks.

But to be perfectly honest, if he'd left me that well off,

I wouldn't be working at Barrett's, would I?

Nor would Julie if I had anything to do with it.

But if I get my own business up and running,

maybe she won't have to.

Well, they're the lights I was telling you about.

Horribly expensive to put in.

Horribly annoying that they keep not working.

It'll be your transformer.

Yeah, well, don't blind me with science.

Are they fixable?

[laughs]

-[whistles] -[laughs]

This old thing.

[mellow music playing]

What'd I tell you?

She's putting on sun screen, so what?

She's turning me on.

What?

[phone ringing]

[phone ringing]

I'll get it.

Hello?

Greg.

Yes.

Good.

No, yeah, well, it is a surprise

but congratulations. It's really...

No, no.

No, really, thanks for... thanks for letting me know.

Okay.

Yeah, you too.

Bye.

Everything all right?

Sally's pregnant.

[cries] He wanted to tell me himself.

Oh.

Every time, he gets me! Every single bloody time!

Hey, hey, hey, it's all right, it's all right.

-It's okay. -[Chrissy crying]

[mellow music playing]

The bet's off. It doesn't feel right.

I don't believe it.

What are you gonna do now?

Wait.

[Julie] Oh, thanks.

Oh, Dad, you don't have to hole up in your room all day.

Come sit with me.

[door opens and closes]

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

you're home early.

Yeah, um, I just got a taxi,

just from the supermarket.

I thought I might cook dinner tonight.

Whoa. Now, there's a sentence I don't hear very often.

[laughs]

You know, there's a, uh... A bus from the supermarket.

-Is there? -[Julie] Mm.

I wasn't sure.

Sammy, have you ever caught

public transport ever in your life?

Yeah, I just got a train before.

[Julie] Oh, and how was the experience?

Okay. I caught a taxi.

-Oh what, from the city? -I know!

You can't tell Nathan.

He told me how expensive they were.

I had no idea. It will never happen again, I promise.

Now on that note, how are you, Ted?

I might have my tea in my room.

Dad...

At my own pace, Julie.

There'll be other blokes.

Yeah, with male pattern baldness

and an early mid-life crisis.

I'm telling you, if this is what blokes do to you,

I'm changing teams.

Chrissy goes gay? I don't think so.

[laughs]

Well, I like cars and cricket.

Might as well go the whole hog.

Well, life bowls you a googly every now and then.

You've just gotta brush yourself down

and get on with it.

You're not still obsessing about Warney, surely?

[Dave] No, no, I just...

A win would've been good, you know.

A vote of confidence in the future.

I'll drink to that.

[Dave] Okay, so I'll have that quote for you on Monday.

I knew I could count on you.

You reckon I've got a future in the trade?

You can fix my halogens anytime.

[Dave] We'll see you again.

Hey listen, I'm happy to recommend.

You know, I've got lots of single girlfriends

who are just as hopeless with fuse-boxes.

We'll see. Thanks.

-See you. -[Chrissy] See you.

Oi, what are you doing?

Mate.

Ben! Get back here!

-I don't believe you. -Excuse me?

Is this all because you got retrenched?

-What are you talking about? -She's Mom's best friend.

Don't you reckon at least you could've been a bit

less obvious like someone Mom doesn't know?

I mean Chrissy, it's just...it's just off

and like why would you wanna go there anyway

when you've got the most gorgeous woman...

Just hang on a second, Ben.

I was fixing her halogens.

No, I don't care what you call it.

I saw you.

-Saw me what? -Hugging!

-When? -Just now.

What, just after her ex-husband called

and she got upset?

The bathers and the putting on the sunscreen--

What Ben? Sun's shining. People get sun burnt.

So what about your black eye?

Look, I might be unemployed,

I might not have anything on the horizon,

I might've just had the crap beaten out of me

by your sister's boyfriend but let me tell you--

-Daniel? -...there is only one woman...

Correction, two women in this world

that have ever seen my privates.

And Chrissy's not one of them.

But you did get one thing right.

Yeah?

Your mother is gorgeous.

[car door closes]

[car engine starts]

[mellow music playing]

[Ben] I'm never listening to you again.

[Carbo] Well, what happened?

Not a word, mate. Not one word.

[mellow music playing]

[upbeat music playing]

[door opens]

[upbeat music playing]

[Julie] Oh, hey, how'd you go?

What's with all the closed doors?

Sorry?

Why do I get the feeling there's things going on

in this house that no one's telling me about?

Nothing's going on.

I resigned my job, Jules.

I didn't resign my position as a member of this family.

I mean, what is wrong with this picture?

My own son thinks that my self-esteem is so low

that I would jump straight into an affair

-to bolster my ego. -What?

You think that I mishandle things that badly,

you won't even let me talk to my own daughter.

I mean, is that what my family think about me?

I lose my job and I fall apart?

And what's the story with Ted locked away in his room

like he doesn't wanna know anyone?

Shh. Dave, no.

Closed doors, Jules, I don't like them.

Okay. Dad..

Dad is here because he's too embarrassed to go home.

Embarrassed? Why?

Because when the ambulance came to take him

to the hospital, the neighbours saw him.

And?

I don't need this, Jules. I don't need protecting.

[knock on door]

[Dave]In life, as in cricket...

Yeah?

[Dave] ...the best way to play that unexpected ball

is straight.

G'day.

Can I have a word with you about something?

Defensive. Protective.

Sure.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way but, um...

I know, mate. And it's all right.

-Did Julie-- -I don't like secrets, Ted.

Not in my own house.

But if it helps, um...

If I think of me and Julie,

I don't know what I'd do without her.

And if I lost her,

anything I could do...

anything I could do that might bring her back,

even a sense of her, whatever it was,

wearing her clothes,

I'd do it too.

You're welcome here as long as you need, all right?

["Slow" playing]

Might see you at dinner, hey?

Leave it open, mate.

Hey.

[Rachel] Hey.

Look at the two of us.

[both laughs]

Dad, you promised.

And look what happened.

But you know why I had to do it, don't you?

Because I'm your father,

and I'm here to protect you.

It's what nature's wired me for.

So, you can call it primitive if you like,

but until they put me in a home and, well,

probably not even then,

I'll be looking out for you.

Because you'll always be my little girl.

And I love you.

We're here for you whatever happens, okay?

Now, you told your mom you don't do drugs.

-Yeah, Dad, I-- -And we believe you.

But if you ever need to talk about anything,

I'm here.

You hear what I'm saying?

[sniffles]

Dad.

Thanks.

[Dave] Sometimes, playing it straight

sets clear ground rules.

Dad, what's Mom's car doing in the garage?

Keeping dry. Rust issues.

Well, I thought we talked about this. I--

[Dave] No, you talked.

I decided no.

-But-- -No, Nathan.

[keys jingling]

[car engine starts]

[dramatic music playing]

[Dave] Sometimes, playing it straight says,

"Don't mess with my team."

Bit early, isn't it?

How'd you get in here?

Don't worry, I won't take long.

I just wanted to say a couple of things.

Firstly, don't be here tomorrow morning.

I'm gonna come by with Rachel to pick up her things.

Secondly, get some help, mate. You need it.

And finally, I'm not afraid of you, Daniel.

You touch my daughter again and I'll come back.

And you won't take me by surprise next time.

Get some help.

[door opens and closes]

[indistinct chatter on TV]

My dad reckons only two women have ever seen his dodger.

-Two. -Yeah?

That's two up on you then.

I'd kill to know who the other one was.

If he's not saying, I don't rate your chances.

It's frustrating, huh? Nope.

It's none of your business.

[guitar music playing]

[Dave] In my book,

the best cricket match of all only has two rules.

First, the whole family plays...

Come on darling, you can do it.

[Dave] ...and second,

there are no rules.

Oh, please.

-What? -[Julie] Just bowl.

[Dave] Come on. Come on.

Ten seconds, ten seconds.

-[Julie] Oh! -[Sammy] Oh. Come on.

[Nathan] You're such a show pony.

Just bowl it!

This time, this time.

-Lunch. Soon. -[Ben] Yeah.

I'm hungry!

[Ted] Just bowl.

Just bowl.

[Julie] Here we go. This one.
