[singer] ♪ Let's do it ♪

[Nathan]With guys what turns us on

is simple biology.

You don't get to choose your fantasies.

Sometimes I think it's more complicated than that.

What if there is some element of choice?

That's when the trouble starts.

-Let's do it. -[Sammy] Nathan, honey.

-What? Who? -Bad dream?

Ah, no.

No, no, no, not really just, um, ah, just work stuff.

Oh, Layla's still not hassling you is she?

No. No it's all good.

The boundaries remember? Parameters.

Mm.

You were thrashing around like crazy?

-Was I? -Yep.

[Nathan] Well you know it's--well,

hey how come you're awake?

-What are you... -Oh, dad's hearing tomorrow.

I can't stop thinking about it.

Do you want me to come with you?

What? And miss all your deadlines?

Yeah, sure. I can be there for my wife can't I?

-No I'm all right. -But I want to come.

Sam, I'm coming.

Oh, hey ah would you like me to go

and make some herbal tea?

-No. -No?

But a hug might help.

[Nathan] Okay. Who knows what the deal is with fantasies.

They don't just appear out of nowhere.

Oh.

That dream couldn't be all bad could it?

No. No but I, um, actually I got to pee.

I've got to go take a pee.

No matter how out there they are,

they're still a part of you.

Whether you like it or not.

Smoked salmon? Darling I--

Yeah, yeah, I know. Risk of listeria.

That's why there's bacon cooked to a crisp.

Very pregnancy aware.

[Dave] Yeah, I'm not taking any chances.

Mm, that bacon smells good.

That's for the pregnant people which rules you out, I hope.

Yep. With the distance Jake and I have been keeping,

I'd say that's pretty impossible.

Hey, you guys seen page four of today's paper?

It's a full round-up of Sammy's dad's trial.

Oh good or bad?

-Good morning. -Morning.

[Nathan] Oi, that bacon smells good.

[Sammy] Smells great.

-What's up? -Sammy, sorry,

this isn't gonna make things any easier.

-Oh. -Oh.

Well, well it's on page four.

Nobody reads page four.

Yeah, no I always skip straight to the horoscope.

[Dave] That kind of publicity doesn't stick.

[Sammy] Well maybe not but today I've got to go

to court for another dose of it.

Mom wants me there to hold her hand.

And I'll be there to hold yours.

Don't you have a big day at work?

I think this is a little bit more important.

Good on you, mate.

Yeah, well all the extra hours I've been working

I think they owe me.

[Sammy] Yeah, but only if Layla doesn't mind.

It's not Layla's call.

So not going to work today?

Classic avoidance.

Okay I'll see you at 2:00 p.m. to give you a quote.

Okay, yeah, thanks for calling.

Is that another job?

[Dave] Yeah, another big job.

Office block in Peakhurst needs completely rewiring.

-But Dave we've got-- -[Dave] Yeah, I know Jake

and I have more work than we can handle

and Warney's way too expensive to keep hiring on a day rate.

But, if we were to put him on full time...

Come on, he's been behaving himself lately, hasn't he?

Helped us out of a few tight spots.

Mm...

Look, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable working here

and if you can't get your head around it,

I suppose we could hire someone else.

Yeah, but we need someone now.

I could have a chat to him.

Set down some terms and conditions.

[sighs] Just make sure he knows who's boss.

And pat him down each time he knocks off.

Good choice, Artie.

Very nice for your first day.

Very...

modest.

Now remember, men will get you to bend over

for a bum ogle so if a guy orders something--

-A "bum ogle"? -I know. What is that?

[Carbo] Same with the front, you know, the cleavage.

-If you... -[Artemis] Nik!

How can I work in a bar if I don't bend?

At the knees, Artie. At the knees.

Where do you get this stuff from?

Look I've been the victim of sexual harassment.

It's not just waiters and barmen.

Us florists cop it too.

Yeah, and you loved every second of it.

Niko, you have never worked in a bar or cafe in your life,

-yes? -Correct.

And I have worked in them since I was 12.

Look I don't know about cafes but I know about guys,

how we think. And it's not pretty.

-Yeah, got to give him that. -[Carbo] Hm.

Now I've got to go.

Remember, Ben's there if you get in any trouble.

So you just say, okay?

[speaking Greek]

I'm not your uncle, a concerned friend.

[speaking Greek]

Carbo, I really thought you were gonna relax about Artie.

Look I'm not just relaxed, I'm rapt.

This is a perfect job for her.

Come on, I know what's going on.

I've seen the way you look at her.

-You like her. -[Carbo] Funny mate.

Look, just don't let me down okay?

See you, Mel.

Back on the team, Dave. Woo-hoo!

Don't worry mate, you won't regret it.

I better not or you'll have Chrissy to answer to.

[Warney] Yeah, I know. You've got to keep the women happy.

Don't worry.

-[Sammy] Hey. -Hey.

Back from the hearing already? How'd it go?

[Sammy] Oh, well we didn't make it past the car park.

-[indistinct chatter] -Suki turned up.

Well she didn't just turn up.

She blatantly flounced up like a trollop on heat.

Not that anyone was interested.

[indistinct chatter]

Mom of course lost her temper.

-[Trish] I did not. -[indistinct chatter]

[Trish] I just gave her a little piece of my mind,

that's all. Perfectly civilized

-given the circumstance. -[indistinct chatter]

Well if you do want to see any of the photos,

they'll be in all the papers tomorrow.

Oh, Sammy, if you're blaming me for this

I think that's very unfair.

-I'd better... -Yeah, I think you'd better.

Hey, Dave, ah, that's the lady whose hubby

has been in the paper a lot.

She's a top looking woman mate.

Just load the van, Warney.

[Warney] How long have you known her?

Sammy I realize I might've embarrassed you--

Might have embarrassed me?

Well I just thought that going along

would give me some form of closure.

[Sammy] Oh, come on. The only reason you went along

was to see dad get what's coming to him.

Oh, well yeah, maybe you're right

and I know I shouldn't have lost my tempter

but oh I've got to say

it was spine tinglingly satisfying.

-Mom! -[Trish] Oh come on.

I wanted to smack Suki in the nose for years.

[Nathan laughs] What's the saying

mom about today's newspaper.

Oh, well, it's, ah, tomorrow's fish and chip wrapping.

Yes that's right. So...

Unless it ends up on YouTube.

-That's not helping, dad. -Sorry.

Well, we're back here so early so why don't you

just head off to work?

Oh, no I told Layla that I wasn't coming in today.

But what about all those deadlines

she was so stressed about yesterday?

You poor thing. We must be causing you

-all sorts of problems. -No, it's fine.

I think she can survive one day without me.

I want to be with you.

And be twice as stressed tomorrow?

I'll be fine. I can handle mom.

Okay. I'll tell Layla that I am coming in.

-Okay. Bye. -[Nathan] Bye.

-Hey, thank you so much. -I owe you.

[Nathan] No worries.

[Layla] Look the producer's bios are on your desk.

He's thinking of something with a country twang,

-apparently. -Right.

So, do you reckon we should play him the demo

-of Levi's rockabilly stuff? -Great minds.

I have already sent it. Hey, but Nath...

-Ooh. -[Layla] Thank you.

What was that for?

Just saying thank you.

I really do appreciate that you've come in.

No but hey Nathan, come back here.

Look we do not want Sammy getting the wrong idea

and thinking that there's something going on

between the two of us when we both know that there isn't.

-[phone rings] -[clears throat]

[Layla] Steve, hi. Hi.

Yeah, no, no, they're, um,

they're calling back in an hour.

Yeah, we were actually thinking rockabilly.

I'll just get Nathan to check.

-Hang on. Hey, Nath? -Yeah.

[Layla] Are you able to check the date that I sent

-that demo down to Melbourne? -Yeah, yeah, sure.

Um just a...

-Sorry. -[Layla] Sorry.

Sorry just a second.

Um, our best man is on the job as we speak.

-There. -Good.

All good so far?

[Artemis] No problem.

-Does it ever get busy? -Hey, give it a half hour.

This place will be packed. Don't wish it on yourself.

-[Lexi] Sorry I'm late. -[Ben] Oh here's trouble.

I got caught up at the dentist.

Wasn't that last week's excuse?

-Who's this? -Oh Artie, this is Lexi.

Artie's Carbo's friend from Greece.

Oh, Carbo? Poor you.

I hope he hasn't bored you to death talking

about V8 engines, has he?

-Niko is not boring. -How long have you known him?

[Ben] Okay that's enough.

You two are on the lunch shift together.

You can show Artie the ropes, right?

Oh, yes, my specialty. Ropes.

[Ben] Ah, now what?

Did you max out your cap or something, huh?

Well you've called ten times today already.

Did you figure stalking her would be cheaper?

[Carbo] Look it gets busy.

I was worried she wouldn't cope.

[Ben] No she's not coping. She's killing it.

And what's more, she's doing it

without a single bend, squat, or ogle.

Good.

[Artemis] Thank you.

Niko, what are you doing here?

Oh just coming in for a lemonade

before my next delivery.

You're checking on me.

[Carbo] No. Maybe.

Go back to your flowers.

I am fine.

Okay.

She's right. I better get going.

But did you have to put her with that Lexi chick?

-[Ben] Relax, she's harmless. -Harmless?

Remember that time she challenged us to tequila shots

and you passed out in the median strip walking home?

-Nude. -Hey, don't worry about it.

You're being paranoid.

Keeping an eye on her remember?

You better be.

See you, Artie.

[Lexi] Are you staying with Carbo?

Mm. Our mothers are best friends.

You've got to get out more.

But hey it's nice to meet you.

Have another girl around this place.

Hey, do you wanna hang out later?

Hang out? And do what?

As long as there's cute boys involved,

who cares what we do?

Okay.

Ah, hello there.

[Trish] How was the obstetrician?

Oh good. All on track.

My favorite bit of advice, "Don't overdo it".

Hey look I'm more than happy to give you a lift home.

Oh don't be ridiculous. I can walk from here.

Well why did you call a cab?

I said I could walk, didn't mean I would.

[Julie] Ah, Trish, I don't want you to feel like

you're on your own in this so just drop in anytime, okay?

How sweet. I'm free for dinner tomorrow night as it happens.

Tomorrow night? That's...

-great. That's a great idea. -Yes.

[Warney] G'day, Jules. How's it going?

Great news having me back on board eh?

-Model employee. Don't worry. -Employee?

-Uh, uh-- -We haven't been introduced.

Um Trish is just leaving.

Trish. That's it.

You're the lady that's been in the news lately.

-Julie... -Dave...

-Warney just, just-- -No, no, no,

I don't mean to pry but I've been following

this story a bit and I've got to say that husband of yours,

he sounds like a real tosser.

-Oh. -Is that right?

[Warney] Yeah. Well he'd have to be to let go

of a top looking woman like you.

Must have rocks in his head.

Getting rid of him must've been the best thing

that ever happened to you.

That's a very astute reading of the situation um...

-Warne. Stewart Warne. -[Trish] I'm Trish.

[Warney] Trish.

Ah, well, if you're going somewhere,

I could give you a lift?

[Julie] Don't you have work to do?

Employee?

Well no we're finished for the day, right?

-Uh-- -No you've got a cab coming.

-Oh I can cancel it. -Thank you, Stewart.

I would love a lift.

Great well come this way. My chariot awaits.

How could you let that happen?

What...

It's not like I was trying to hide it.

Oh, oh right. You just forgot to mention

that you put Warney back on full time.

No it only happened this morning.

Look Jules, we needed someone extra.

I thought you'd be happy that the business is expanding.

I am happy. I just wish that someone extra wasn't Warney.

You have to admit he's earned some trust

you know helping Jake when he was electrocuted.

Oh he checked his vital signs.

[Dave] No, no he did much more than that.

[Julie] Oh no all right okay. So the guy's a legend.

You've obviously made up your mind.

Just keep him out of our house and your wallet.

Has Ben been nicking money again?

No, your father's put Warney back on full time.

What? Why?

Jake hasn't resigned has he?

Oh well you know with some of the management choices

that are being made, I wouldn't be surprised.

I'm gonna have a bath.

Jake is still working for you, right?

-Yes. -So what's mom on about?

Nothing. Just ignore her.

She'll calm down.

-Did you see him today? -Yeah, briefly.

He's on a job in Janalli.

Did he ask about me at all?

No, we, ah, pretty much just talked about work.

Right.

Well if he wants to be immature,

avoid every chance he gets to see me,

maintain the rage, that's fine.

It's just his tough luck.

Yeah. Nice bloke, hard worker.

No sense when it comes to women.

No see look there's a typo on the word mutual.

No just...

-there. -[Nathan] Ah.

[Layla] Yep.

-Cool. -Good.

Do you want to have a read over it before I send it?

No I'm sure it's perfect as usual.

Well I guess that is me done.

-Nath? -[Nathan] Yeah?

You just sent that email to me.

-[Nathan] Oh. -Got to watch that.

Sending emails to the wrong person.

-Could get complicated. -Now I'm done. There we go.

All right well thank you for coming in.

[Nathan] Ah, it's my job.

-Hey, Nathan? -Yep?

You know that there is an easy solution to all of this?

All this what?

-Go home to your wife. -Okay.

10:30?

Don't tell me Layla has turned into a morning person?

No she's still there.

I just finished what had to be done and got out.

Wow.

I think I like this new you.

I, um, I think I should go to bed.

Coincidence.

I was having exactly the same thought.

No I--I'll probably just go to sleep.

I've got to be back at work first thing in the morning.

-Mmm-hmm. -Mm.

Well I guess it is getting kind of late.

[Nathan] Yeah. Are you coming?

Ah, no. I will be in in a sec.

[Nathan] Yep.

We've all got stuff in our heads

that we don't tell our partners.

And that isn't lying. That's just common sense.

[singer] ♪ Let's do it ♪

[upbeat music playing]

[singer] ♪ Wow thing ♪

♪ Wow thing ♪

♪ Shopping at the mall ♪

♪ Looking for something And get a buy... ♪

No, no!

Ah, what are-- what are you doing?

[dramatic music playing]

[Nathan] Everyone does it.

I know but when you got home from work

you said you weren't interested.

[Nathan] No. No I didn't. I said that I was tired.

Well obviously not that tired.

It was a long day.

I woke up, I couldn't get back to sleep.

-I just needed to relax. -And I was asleep.

Exactly. Sam, I didn't wanna disturb you.

Well you should have.

I could've made you a herbal tea.

Oh no.

-Nathan. -Mm.

There's nothing else I should be worried

about here is there?

No.

[Sammy] Those things we spoke about,

what Layla said about sleeping with one person

for the rest of your life,

you said that person was me.

It still is.

That is not sex.

Then what is that?

It's just-- it's a stupid thing guys do.

It doesn't mean anything. We're just wired differently.

We feel on edge and we have to do something about it.

-And what got you itching? -Sorry?

-Who were you thinking about? -No one.

Oh well there has to be someone.

-Tell me! -Oh...

Jessica Simpson.

It's the jiggling.

We really are wired differently.

-Hey. -[Carbo] Hey.

-Niko, you know Lexi. -Yeah, I know Lexi.

-Hey, Niko. -Ah, Carbo to you.

Um, so what are you guys doing?

After we finished work, we hung out for a while.

We had fun.

We thought we'd have a sleep over.

Yeah, like when we were kids.

Hot chocolate, sharing secrets.

Artie I think the kettle's boiled.

Ah, do you want to make us some coffee?

What did your last slave die of?

I don't mind.

-Fun girl. -She's a good girl.

I only met her yesterday and already it seems

I know her better than you do.

Oh you don't know her at all.

You'd be surprised at what I do know.

[Artemis] Niko, I can't find the coffee.

-Did we run out? -Oh don't worry about it.

I'll get it.

So she slept over, where, on the sofa?

[Melissa] In Artie's room.

-In Artie's bed. -What are you saying?

Draw your own conclusions, my friend.

Well what conclusions are you drawing?

Well, I can't be sure but I can tell you this,

Lexi is a wild child

and Artie is from the island of Lesbos.

[Melissa] That one never gets old for you does it?

-No. -Look we're out of coffee.

-Can you get some? -Get it yourself.

Oh, we've got Trish coming for dinner

-and all I've got is roast. -[Dave] I love your roast.

Yeah, well, the book says that to kill listeria

you've got to cook at temperatures

above seventy seven degrees Celsius.

And the problem is?

Well how am I gonna know when the inside of a roast

is above seventy seven degrees Celsius?

You just cook it till it's well done.

Oh I hate well done roast. Too dry. Well--

Everyone hates well done roast but I can't risk listeria.

Pregnancy used to be so simple.

Now you need a university degree.

-Hi. -Hi.

Hey. Don't ask. I'm going to the shed.

[Sammy] Well I guess I should do some study.

-[Ben] Where's the coffee? -Mm, I'll see you for dinner?

-Yeah. -Mm?

Ah, unless you wanna do it by yourself.

-Eat dinner I mean. -Hilarious.

An obscure yet pointed comment.

I don't want to talk about it. It's extremely private.

Oh you can't just say that and not give me the juice.

Spill.

Um, Sammy burst in on me in the bathroom...

having a...

-Oh. -Oh.

Oh. [laughs]

And you were thinking about...

Jessica Simpson.

Uh. It's the jiggling.

-That's what I thought. -Yeah.

So what's the problem?

Overwhelming guilt.

Relax, mate. You're in the clear.

Fantasizing while you're in a relationship is fine,

so long as it's not someone that you know,

it's fair play, no betrayal.

Not that I do that anymore.

Mine was always Barbarella.

Oh granddad...

Brigitte Bardot. What a woman.

It was Jane Fonda.

Oh, yeah.

I'm out of here.

[laughter]

Don't, that tickles!

Stop it.

-Check it out. -Check what out?

[Carbo] All the touching and giggling

and the toenail painting.

What's unusual about that?

Nothing if you're from Lesbos.

[Melissa] I told you it's just

what 18-year-old girls do.

[Carbo] I'm gonna, you know, read this outside.

Get some fresh air.

Do you ever get the feeling you're being watched?

-Who by? -Carbo.

Ah, Niko just worries about me.

He's like my big brother. An uncle.

Well if you ask me, uncle Niko's

got the hots for you big time.

No way. You don't know him.

I know guys.

Niko's not like that. He's just protective of me.

Oh, yeah, he is protective all right

because he likes you.

-He does not! -Do you want to bet?

-Niko? -Yes?

Lexi has a great idea but we need to ask a favor.

I have this friend that's DJ-ing at Deviate tonight.

-Deviate? -[Artemis] It's a nightclub.

Lexi says he could put our names on the door.

It should be a huge night.

[Artemis] It's across town so we'd need someone

-to give us a lift. -Wait, wait, you want me

to drive you to a nightclub called Deviate?

It's just a great place to dance and meet people.

Sorry can't drive you. And it's too far by bus

and too exy by cab. You have to stay here.

We could put your name on the door

and Ben and Melissa's.

-No. Sorry. -But why not?

-Why can't you drive? -I parked the charger

-under a fruit tree yesterday. -So?

Fruit bat poo all over. You know I've got to wash

the car or it'll eat through the duco.

Sorry. There's no way I'm driving the charger

looking like that.

[whimsical music playing]

-Ow. -Grow up.

-[Lexi] How does it look? -We did a good job.

Yeah. Good.

She looks hot, doesn't she?

Hot. Yeah.

So now your car's washed,

you can drive us to the club, yes?

-Uh-- -Niko.

Please?

Sure, okay.

I have to go inside now.

-Are you okay? -Yep.

See? I told you it would work.

[Nathan] They say on average men think about sex

every fifty two seconds.

That's why I decided to do some work on the weekend.

No distractions. Nothing to push me

over the fifty two second average.

-[Layla] Nathan. -Layla, hey.

Well that's not happiness to see me.

I... I'm just surprised. It's a Saturday.

Yeah, well we work Saturdays.

-Quite often. -Mm, yeah.

Yeah, I know. I just thought, look I'm done here

-so I should-- -Well great. Please let me

take you out for lunch. Just as a thank you

for all the hard work you've been doing lately.

Oh, no it's okay. I probably should get home.

-[Layla] Nathan? -Mm?

Look we need to deal with this.

This tension is ridiculous.

Look it's distracting you

and it's really defocusing me.

Let's just remove the issue.

Defuse the tension.

I'm sorry?

Just do the deed. You know get this whole silly business

out of the way and move on.

Are you saying what I think you're saying?

Yeah.

And Nath I'm talking sense.

Look, no one has to know.

I have to go home. Sammy's waiting for me.

Yeah, no and Sammy will always be there waiting for you

no matter how we resolve this.

I really have to go.

That's the biggest problem with forbidden fantasy.

What do you do if you're offered the chance

to make it come true?

I love you.

I love you too.

Hey, Sam, there's something I, um, I want to tell you.

I want to get it off my chest.

-What's up? -Remember when we promised

that we'd be open, open with each other?

Okay. Ah, now I'm worried.

Did Layla kiss you again?

No. No but I think

she wants to take it further.

-She propositioned you? -Pretty much.

After everything you said to her

about respecting our boundaries?

Mmm-hmm.

She just hates seeing other people happy.

Her own relationship sucks so she tries to mess up

everyone else's.

Unbelievable.

[sighs]

And this happened today?

Yeah.

So she propositioned you,

you raced home

and practically dragged me in here.

This better not be some weird Layla thing.

What? Sam, no, no, of course, it's not like that.

-I wanted to be with you. -[Sammy] Was she the one

you were thinking about the other night

when I caught you in the bathroom?

What? No! What... What the...

-Sam, where are you going? -To have a shower.

[Nathan] I told you this because we promised honesty.

No secrets. I am being honest.

Yeah, I know but your timing sucks.

[Nathan]Every fifty two seconds.

[Carbo] Mm...

[Ben] What's all the noise, mate? Sounded like you were

-in a bit of pain. -Ah, I had a dream.

About Artie.

It's not right.

-I'm going for a run. -You don't run.

I do now.

-[Dave] Hey, mate. -[Nathan] Hey.

You all right?

Dad, when you were, um,

when you were younger and thinner,

obviously this would've been going back

a little while but, ah, you,

you must've gotten interests from women, right?

Yeah, when I was younger and thinner

it happened just occasionally.

What about after you got married?

Well they're just not as obvious with it

but they still look, married or not. I mean,

they're only human, right?

Okay.

What about if it went further than looking?

Further? How?

I don't know.

Say it just got more intense?

Flirty? How would you have brushed it off?

Uh, not sure I, uh,

understand what you're asking.

Okay, say that someone

was flirting with you--

Uh, mate it takes two to flirt.

Maybe you should tell me what's going on.

Okay um...

There's been a woman who has been coming on

pretty strongly lately.

And?

And I guess I've been giving her signals back?

-Anything happened? -No. No, no, no, no.

I guess it's just gone up a notch lately.

Okay, I'm not exactly sure that I understand

what 'up a notch' means and I'm not going to ask

but I, I will say this.

Look, we all look at other women.

But a real man, a man who loves his wife

and respects her, he doesn't go there.

Ever.

All right?

Do I know her?

Do you know her? No.

No, no, it's a client from work.

And I'll probably never see her again.

Probably not a bad idea.

Nathan?

Sorry to disappoint.

Sammy, hi. I'm, um, if you're looking

for Nathan, he's not here.

No, I was looking for you.

Okay.

Last time we spoke you asked whether I'd be happy

to sleep with one man for the rest of my life.

Been playing on your mind a bit has it?

Well the answers is yes.

I wouldn't just want to.

It's what everyone should want.

In your opinion.

'Cause we all know what yours is.

Open relationships are the way to go, right?

Yeah. And your point is?

It seems to me it's a good excuse for Steve

to screw around on you whenever he likes.

Sammy I think you should probably leave.

And I think you should stay the hell away

from Nathan.

Me?

I think you should be more concerned

about what Nathan wants.

If Steve doesn't seem to want you,

then why would my husband?

Have a good weekend.

[Dave] Okay this roast is now officially safe

-for pregnant consumption. -Oh.

Ooh a meat thermometer.

I've always wanted one of those.

Yes they do come in handy.

Where's Trish? It's not like her to be late.

[Rachel] No, not when there's a drink on offer.

[Julie] Hey listen I've put you next to her.

I hope you don't mind. I think I need a buffer.

Oh, that's fine. I'll be closer to the wine.

-[Ted] Something smells good. -Mm.

Where's Sammy?

Ah, she's gone for a walk.

You haven't given her a reason to stay away?

[door closes]

Oh, sorry I'm late.

Oh, that's okay. We're still waiting for your mom anyway.

-We need to talk. -Yeah, we do.

In private.

[Ted] Okay. What can I do?

Okay Sam, I have done the wrong thing here,

not sorting out this Layla situation

-before it went too far. -You think?

I've come up with a solution to the problem.

A sexual harassment suit?

I'm going to quit my job.

-What? -I know you're thinking

that I love that job and I do but this is just...

-this is way more important. -All right just shut up,

for a minute Nathan.

Firstly, we can't afford

for you to just quit your job.

Secondly, I'm not angry

about the fact that Layla came onto you...

Well I am but that's not the problem here.

I am angry at the fact that you were tempted.

-I wasn't. -You were. Just shut up!

It might have only been for a couple of seconds,

but I know, Nathan.

I was never going to go there.

Besides Sam, that's why I'm quitting.

And how do I know this won't happen

-at the next job? -And the one after that?

Well if it does happen again then I'll quit that job too.

Don't you get it? The way you're talking,

it sounds like you don't even trust yourself

and if you don't trust yourself, how am I

supposed to trust you?

What do you want me to do?

I want you to go to work

and do your job.

And Layla?

Be a man, Nathan!

God.

You set your boundaries.

Just stick to them.

If you can't control yourself then...

there's no hope for us.

[bell ringing]

Now we're going to go and have dinner with mom

and enjoy it. End of discussion.

[Julie] Starting to get worried about...

-Evening. -G'day, Jules.

Hi.

-Come in. -Wine.

-[Julie] Thanks. -Thank you.

-[door slams close] -Sorry we're late.

You all know Stewart?

[Warney] Yes. We go way back.

I think I just lost my appetite.

Mm.

So this friend of mine, she's pregnant.

She goes for a checkup

and the girl said would you like to know

what sex the baby is?

And she said no but I'd like to know

-who the father is. -[laughter]

[Ted] An oldie but a goldie.

Okay. I guess I'd better go to the little boy's room.

-See you soon. -[Dave] That's good.

That's quite good actually.

Is there something wrong here?

You're all treating Stewart like he's got a disease.

Well if no one else is going to say it, I will.

What are you doing with him, mom?

-What on earth do you mean? -Um, shall we have

-dessert outside? -[Julie] Oh, great idea.

Change of scenery.

[Ted] Yeah, I'll light the mosquito coil.

Um, I'll go and find them.

[Rachel] I'll bring the coffee.

You're embarrassing yourself.

This is because of dad, isn't it?

You're trying to keep up by scoring yourself

-a younger boyfriend. -Oh, Stewart

is just good company.

Good company right? Mm-hm.

You're friends. I mean you've got so much in common.

Oh, for God's sake I've barely known him for a day.

[Sammy] Exactly. One day.

Yet he is your guest at a family dinner.

In case you haven't noticed after years

of lying and cheating,

my husband is not around anymore.

And all I want here is just to find

some happiness of my own.

Trisha?

Babe?

[Nathan] Fantasies don't hurt anyone

if they stay fantasies.

What about us? Do we have happiness?

Yeah, of course we do.

Real life, real relationships,

they're a lot harder.

Oh, unless you were Ben.

-How do I look? -Like a dream.

[Nathan] Who was living his fantasy.

[Melissa] Hey, what are you doing? You've got to be hoping

for one slack door bitch if you're dressing like that.

I'm driving remember? And there's a game on tonight.

Yeah, we already saw it.

Nil-nil. You fell asleep.

All the more reason to watch it again.

Okay. I've had enough.

Artie, Artie,

I can't do this.

-I can't do it. -Niko.

-[Ben] Hey Carbo! Carbo, wait. -What for?

[Ben] They were just messing with you.

Just make sure she gets home, okay?

Don't worry about it.

[Nathan] The way I see it, when we start our lives,

our fantasies are innocent.

Then we grow up and reality takes over.

Darling I'm exhausted. Do you mind?

[Dave] That's all right. You go to bed.

-Chrissy and I'll clean up eh. -Oh thanks.

[Nathan] For some of us that's just the way

we want it. While others never stop

having impossible dreams of perfection.

Oh.

[Nathan] And other times dreams really do come true

just when we least expect it.

Niko, I want to say sorry.

For what?

I acted stupid.

Lexi and I were teasing you.

I'm sorry.

Look I'm just a guy, Artie.

I'm not your big brother,

not your uncle.

Just me.

I used to think I was protecting you.

But now the reason why

I don't like you acting like that,

dancing like that, it's because...

I have feelings for you.

You're right, Niko.

You're not related to me at all.

[Nathan] And then there are the really sad cases.

The ones who have the dream,

but don't realize it.

Layla?

I'm going to lay down some rules.

Haven't I heard this before?

This time I want you to listen.

Well I'm all ears.

First rule, we're colleagues.

We work together. That's all.

Second rule, no 'doing the deed'

or 'defusing the tension'

or whatever the hell you want to call it.

Ever.

Are these your rules or Sammy's?

This has got nothing to do with Sammy.

Yeah?

Then why are you making such a big fuss about it?

-You propositioned. -Yeah,

and you just had to tell her.

Yeah, but she's my wife.

Look you knocked me back. End of story.

-Forget it okay? I'm fine. -You are not!

[Layla] Well so quit!

I don't want to quit.

No?

Then why did you really come here.

[Nathan]It's a universal truth:

fantasies should stay fantasies.

So what happens when they don't?
