[upbeat music playing]

[Rachel] When you're 18, you can't wait

to leave home.

But a few years on, you start to appreciate

what you're actually leaving behind.

Oh, this is great.

I haven't seen this for years.

[Dave] What's all this?

Oh, just some stuff I fetched from the storage unit.

-Oh. -[Rachel] Oh, my gosh, look.

Nan's lamp.

-From her pineapple period. -[laughs]

Are you sure I can have this, Grandad?

Better than it sitting out there going moldy.

Well, it's great. It's perfect.

It's gonna be perfect for our new apartment.

How do you know? You haven't found it yet.

[Rachel] It's a mere detail.

I know what it'll be like.

An inner city warehouse, cute but cutting edge.

Double doors opening onto a small balcony.

A shed for my tools. Garage for the ute.

We probably can't afford a garage,

but Jake will just have to cope.

Spare bedroom for Alex.

A studio, all open plan.

Near a park, somewhere quiet.

Buzzy near cafes.

Close to work.

Close to work would be good, too.

-[gasps] -[sighs] Oh.

[Rachel] Wow, look at that.

Yep, that's technology for you.

That's memories.

Beautiful ones.

Oh, Mom probably wouldn't think so.

It used to drive her mad

clicking that thing on and off.

It's funny the things that come back to you.

Hadn't thought about that for years.

No, me neither.

Do you remember the fuss she made

about those curtains?

-They had to be pink. -[Rachel laughs]

My ballerina phase.

And remember you sewed coins into the corners

-to weigh it down? -[laughs] Yeah.

Twenty-cent coins. You probably dug them out.

-They're only two cents. -Ah.

Well, they might be worth something.

You could sell them on eBay.

No. [sobs]

No, this is my past.

You have to promise me something, Mom, okay?

No matter how long I'm gone for,

this'll always be Rachel's room.

Oh, darling.

Well, with the giant "R" on the wall,

it could always be Ruby's room.

-Mom! -Or Dave's pool room.

-I thought we agreed. -That's really hilarious.

-You're funny. -Okay, okay, I'll compromise.

Dave's pool room

and, uh, the occasional guest room.

Rachel's room.

-Take it. Take all of them. -What?

They're yours, they're not mine.

No... Mom.

We haven't even found a place yet.

All right?

And, when I visit,

I like the idea of them being here.

There is one thing I would like.

What?

[Jake] Fridge photos like these ones.

Well, take that. I've got copies.

Oi. Things must be hotting up

if he's on the fridge.

No, look, it's just a work photo.

Oh, yeah, it stuck itself up there, did it?

What does Alex think about

-his new step daddy? -Oh, stop it!

-[Jake laughs] -I haven't told him

'cause there's nothing to tell.

Well, he's on the fridge.

That's a pretty important nothing.

Look, it's nothing serious.

It might all blow over.

[door opens, closes]

[keys jingling]

Hi, Gracie bub.

Hey. Hello.

-Hi, Jake. -Doug.

All right. I've got to go.

I'm having dinner at Rachel's.

-I might catch you later. -[Doug] See you, mate.

-I put this in the fridge? -Yeah.

Uh, just give me a second.

-Jake. -Yeah?

-About the key-- -Yeah, no.

No, no, no, it's better than him breaking a window.

Look, it doesn't change anything.

It... It's not Doug's home, it's yours.

And I just couldn't bear it

if you thought you were being driven away.

Mom, I'm moving out 'cause it's time.

And it's about time you found a good guy,

like Doug.

So go on, go for it.

You really don't mind?

No, of course not.

And he's crazy about you, Gracie bub.

[laughs]

Now don't forget

drinks at the Rafters tomorrow.

It's about time you guys finally met.

-Bye. -Bye.

[Rachel] So, do you think Doug will move in?

No. Oh, maybe.

It's a big move.

Mom wouldn't do it lightly.

No, neither would I.

No, I know, I did it once before with Daniel,

but I didn't do that lightly

and I didn't go into it with my eyes open either.

Yeah, so what's the difference now?

Well, that time was all about him and his space.

This is about us, building something together.

-A home. -Yep.

So, every important decision,

we both make it?

Even the unimportant ones.

Including that lamp?

You have to be kidding me.

-That belonged to my nan. -Oh, Rach,

we could've been so good together.

No, you love me, you love Nan's lamp.

Don't you start.

I wouldn't dare. Uh, before Chel gets here

there's something we need to tell you all,

so could you, uh...

I thought Chel was totally against that?

-Yeah. No kidney talk ever. -[Julie] Yeah.

Well, your dad put up some very strong arguments.

Look, it's early days.

I don't wanna make a big deal out of it.

I just wanted to keep you up to speed.

Well, I think it's a great idea.

I think you should go for it.

Yeah, me too. We all do.

So, what's for dinner?

-Steak and kidney pie? -[Julie] Hey.

I'm warning you, no jokes in front of Chel.

Oh, as if. I don't even know any.

Yeah, and don't start trying to make any up.

Kidney...

it doesn't even rhyme with anything.

[Dave] It's not gonna happen immediately.

My GP first, then a whole barrage of tests,

you know it could take months, so...

Sydney!

-[Rachel] Oh, ignore him. -[Ben] I'm sorry.

-Ignore him. He's special. -I'm sorry. Sorry, Dad.

[Dave] Anyway there's no guarantees.

The point is that we don't want to make

a big deal out of it.

It's just something we're doing, together.

Well, it's so much more than that.

It's such a gift.

I'm overwhelmed.

Oh, I feel all warm and gooey.

[Julie] Oh, okay. Well, I might put this one down.

-[Dave] I'll do it. -[Julie] Oh, thanks.

-[Ruby coos] -[Rachel] Um, so, Mama,

are you all set and prepared for tomorrow?

-Prepared? -Yeah, for Grace coming over.

Oh, yeah.

Well, it's just drinks, isn't it?

What, I don't have to lay on a banquet, do I?

No, no, no, but, I mean,

a bit of effort would be nice.

Right. Well, dips and crackers?

-That sounds great. -Okay.

Well, there's a yummy taramasalata

-from the deli up the road. -Uh... fish.

-Mom doesn't eat seafood. -Oh, okay.

Well, um, something else, then.

-Pate? -Oh.

Uh, that's the other thing Mom doesn't eat as well.

Cheese and pineapple?

-That sounds great. -Okay, great.

-No, no. Mom, no. -Rach, it's fine.

It's no biggie. Great.

Does anybody know an accountant?

I've got to get my tax sorted.

Oh, don't you hate them.

-[Chel] Yeah. -Do you need a hand with it?

Ha! Like you know anything about tax, Rachel.

No, you're right, Nathan, I don't.

Nathan knows a lot about tax, though.

He'd be happy to help you with that.

-He's a whiz. -Really?

-You wouldn't mind? -Yep.

[Chel] He wouldn't mind?

"Bite me. Possess me like no one ever has."

-Excuse me? -Uh, no, not you,

my secret admirer.

You should see the things she writes to me.

It's like poetry.

"Your sharp teeth in my soft flesh."

Who is she? Sookie Stackhouse?

She hasn't told me her name yet.

Listen to this,

"I'm so hot for you, I'm burning up."

Ah, she must have the flu.

[clicks, chimes]

That's it. I'm officially separated.

-Are you okay? -Yeah.

Yeah, sure. It needed to be done.

Next stop the finances. Speaking of which,

I should probably get an early night.

I've got hours of tax fun with Chel tomorrow.

Ouch. I reckon Dad got the easy option.

Tell me about it. Night, guys.

-See you. -Good night.

-Poor Nathan. -I know.

[door closes]

How are we ever gonna relax around here

with all that Sammy stuff hanging over our heads?

Mmm.

And how can I ever relax

with that rooster looking at me?

Hang on.

-There we go. -Can't you just

accidentally knock it off or something?

I could move it closer to the edge

and with a bit of luck Carbo might knock it off.

He wouldn't mind.

He doesn't like it either.

But if no one likes it, what's it doing there?

Well, point one, it's not our house.

Yeah, but it is our home, isn't it?

Of course.

Well, just as much as Carbo's.

Yeah.

So, check it out.

[upbeat music playing]

Why are we surrounded by his mom's ceramic zoo?

Hey, that money that your parents gave us

-for our wedding... -Yeah.

...that we were putting aside for a rainy day.

-Hey? -It's pouring.

If we bought something together

and put it in here, then we'd know it was ours.

Yep, and make it feel more like home.

-Mmm-hmm. -Yep.

-Yep. Good. -Okay.

[Rachel] They say home is where the heart is,

or in my case, the lamp.

Wanted.

A home for two people very much in love

without a care in the world.

At least that's what I thought.

[Jake] But these are all apartments.

No, relax, I didn't forget you.

-What about that? -Surry Hills, Rach?

-Come on. -[Grace] Is that for me?

Oh, making her a cup of tea is a big mistake, mate.

Yeah, you're right.

-She might come to expect it. -Yeah.

Well, that's all right by me.

[Alex] Hey! Mom! Jake!

Kill the fatted calf, I'm home!

You didn't tell me Alex was coming home.

-[Grace] We didn't know. -Where is everyone?

[all] Hey!

[Grace] I so would've picked you up.

Uh, yeah, we missed you.

Oh, you're going too far.

-Look at you. -[Alex] Uh...

-[Rachel] Hey. -[Alex] Oh...

[Rachel] I missed you.

Did you bring me a prezzie?

Oh, yes, me.

[laughter]

[Jake] So how was the flight?

Yeah. Oh, coffee first.

I can't talk without coffee.

[Jake] All right.

Who are you?

Uh, Doug.

A friend of your mom's.

Did he sleep here?

-Alex, um-- -Since when?

Just a little while, not long.

Why didn't you tell me?

Well, I was going to, but you weren't--

-Oh, what's this? -[Jake] Well, they're mine.

They're mine and Rachel's.

Yeah, we're gonna get a place together, Al.

There's a lot of stuff going on here,

-isn't there? -Alex, you weren't here--

There are phones in New Zealand.

-There's-- -And you can shut up!

[Jake] Oi!

Mind your own business.

I don't even know who you are.

Mate, you need to calm down.

What is this? Some kind of conspiracy?

[Rachel]Home is where the heart is.

And for Alex and Jake, that was suddenly an issue.

[gate slams]

Hey. I was just texting you.

What'd you say?

Maybe we should leave the house hunting

-for another day? -Yeah.

Yeah. How is it all in there?

Uh, it's not great.

-Hmm. -Can I ask you a big favor?

What?

He won't listen to me or Mom.

-And he trusts you-- -He's gonna think

I'm interfering, though, Jake.

No, please, Rach. You're practically family

and right now I can't think of anything else.

Okay.

But don't expect any miracles.

[slow music playing]

They've sent in the cavalry, have they?

Are you calling me a horse?

So big changes, huh?

So? No one cares what I think.

Of course they do.

Look, I'm sorry.

Jake really should've said something

about him and I moving out together.

-It's-- -Yeah.

Just when people are away, you don't--

Yeah, out of sight, out of mind.

No, it's more that we didn't want

to interrupt your holiday.

Sure.

Okay, and we got a bit carried away

with all the things we were planning

and that made us a bit selfish.

-And as for your Mom-- -Who is that guy?

No, he's really nice. Honestly.

I think you'll like him.

Yeah, we'll be besties.

Totally.

Totally besties.

You know, on the plane

I was thinking about how great it was

-to be coming home. -Yeah.

Well, home's still here.

It's just changing shape a little bit.

So did you have a good time?

-Oh, yeah. -Get any Maori tatts?

Not where I can show you.

Well, will I at least get to see some pictures?

-Of the tatts? -No.

No, I'll pass on that, thanks.

But some G-rated shots would be nice.

You could bring them along this afternoon.

-Where? -Your mom's coming over.

It's a bit of a parental meet and greet thing.

-You will come, won't you? -Mmm-hmm.

I don't know.

I might. I might not.

[Jake] I don't know if it's a good idea leaving Mom

-and Alex together. -Oh, yeah.

They might actually have a conversation.

Bad move.

Well, at least Doug was tactful enough to leave,

-so that's a start. -Yeah.

I mean, think about it.

Alex gets home, he's tired,

he's thinking, yay, and what does he get?

He gets a middle-aged man in a dressing gown

who's acting like the furniture.

Of course he was gonna overreact.

-He'll be fine? -Yeah, he'll be fine.

Well, we'll think of you

while we're out spending our wedding money.

-Ooh, what are you gonna buy? -Don't know yet.

Thought we might make the place a bit more us.

We've lived here long enough.

Right. Have you run it past Carbo?

-I think we'll be safe. -Yeah, I'd say so.

Are you, uh, who I think you are?

I could be, if that's a good thing.

Yeah. Could be.

Burning up, you could say.

I just moved in down the road.

Mmm.

Far down the road?

Not very. Quite close.

Number 40.

That is close.

Compared to number 42.

[laughs]

Well, maybe you should pop around sometime.

Maybe I will, pop around.

That's a new car. It's nice.

Oh, it's not exactly new, but it'll get me around.

I won't hug you.

No, it's probably best if you don't.

Wow, Chel this, this garden looks so much better

-since you've been here. -Oh, well,

house sitting, just returning the favor.

Uh, are you sure

it's not too much of an imposition?

No, no, it's a piece of cake.

Besides it gives me a chance to show off.

Well, it's just a few bits of paper.

Five years?

Well, every year it just gets harder

and harder to face.

-Ooh. -I thought I mentioned it.

Well, you probably did.

I probably just blanked it out.

I guess we better start somewhere.

Um... okay, do you remember...

Do you remember what this was from?

Uh, that's my membership receipt

for the Communist Party.

-You're a communist? -Not really.

Just seemed like a good idea at the time.

That's a political party membership,

that's deductible, that's good.

We're off to a good start.

What about that one?

We're just gonna have to go up in price.

Everything we looked at was disgusting.

No, one place we looked at

on the way back was okay, it had a big yard.

Except it was practically in the South Pole.

[Julie] You've only been looking a month, you two.

That place in the city we looked at, that was good.

-It only had one room. -No, it only had two.

-It had two rooms. -Oh, if you count the toilet.

-Oh, Mom, that's not-- -No, it's hummus.

-It's perfectly harmless. -Thank you.

You're the best. I love you.

I hope you're all gonna get along.

Yeah, well, if we don't, the relationship's over.

Dad, okay, just don't start, yeah?

You've kept us at arm's length for long enough.

Are you ashamed of us or something?

-No, of course I'm not. -Well, meeting the in-laws

for the first time, it's a pretty big deal.

Dad! I said, don't start.

Okay, now you're all gonna have to be

extra nice to Alex, please.

Rach, it's okay.

You got his text, Alex is cool.

[Julie] I'm sure he'll be fine.

Hey, Jake, could you get me, uh, some parsley?

It's at a pot at the back door.

-[Julie] Yeah. -Thanks.

-[knocks on door] -I'll get it.

All right, that's them.

Dad, please, no jokes,

even if you think they're really funny.

All right. Hey, Rachel?

-Yeah? -Pull my finger.

[laughter]

And look who we have here.

Hi, I'm Julie.

It's been way too long.

I'm Grace, and yes, it has.

This is my youngest son, Alex.

[Julie] Hi, Alex. I heard you just got back

-from New Zealand. -Yeah.

I know some great jokes about New Zealand.

Dad.

Oh, and of course you've met these two.

Yeah, once or twice.

All right. Well, uh...

Well, they're the most important thing.

Who wants what?

I'll have whatever's going.

-Uh, a beer for us, mate. -[Julie] Wine.

I've heard so much about Ruby.

Oh, uh, would you like

-to take a peek? -I'd love to.

Yeah, nap time's almost over.

Good. You've got such a beautiful home here.

Oh, thank you.

[Jake] Ooh.

How do you think it's all going in there?

Oh, I don't know.

It feels like trouble's brewing.

What about Alex?

-Oh, he's pretty quiet. -Yeah.

Maybe he's still just a bit tired.

Yeah, yeah.

-Do you want to take these? -Yep.

Hey, um, I just had a great idea.

-Yeah, what? -Well, look around.

-This is perfect. -Perfect for what?

Well, we should move in here. Live in the shed.

It'll be bigger than the city place we found.

[Ruby crying]

Oh, I knew it was too good to be true.

Yeah.

[Grace] Oh, I seem to have lost the knack.

No, no, she's just a bit grumpy at the moment.

-Dad, could you... -Allow me.

-Come on, sweetheart. -[Grace] Oh, she's gorgeous.

-[Ruby continues crying] -[Julie] We think so.

Hey, would like some, uh, hummus?

Jake mentioned you don't like seafood.

-Oh, yes, I do. -No, you don't.

-Since when? -Well, since always.

-That was me. -Oh.

How's, uh, how's Doug?

Uh, you know he was invited?

Jake told you about that, too?

Not much. Just, you know--

[Dave] Who's for anotherey?

-Me, please. -[Jake] Anotherey.

All right. I'm gonna sit this one out, though.

-[Rachel] What, you? -Well, I've just decided

to start looking after myself, you know.

My mother needs a kidney transplant

and, uh, I'm gonna be testing--

-[bottle clatters] -[Grace] Oh, Alex.

-[Alex] Sorry. -[Grace] I'm so sorry.

-Sorry. -Alex.

Nothing to worry about, Alex.

Um, so you're gonna donate?

If they let me. Yeah.

[Grace] Oh, that's a wonderful thing to do.

Is there a queue?

Once you've handed over your kidney,

maybe you could give me a CP transplant.

-Alex-- -What?

Aren't I good enough for a transplant?

No, but whatever your point is,

this isn't the place to make it.

No, Jake, you don't make the rules.

Just because I'm retarded...

-Alex, don't say that. -[Alex] ...it doesn't mean

that I'm not allowed to speak.

But you're not allowed to make everyone

-feel embarrassed! -[Alex] Why not?

That's all I'm good for, isn't it?

-[Julie] Um, no, no, no... -Sorry.

-...It's fine. It's fine. -I'm so sorry.

Mom, I've got it. I've got it.

-It's fine. -[Julie] Oi.

Oi.

-Today is not about you. -Ha.

Doing that in front of Rachel's parents,

mate, that's not good. It's not good.

You made her parents feel bad,

you made Mom feel bad and what for?

Oh, shove it, you don't know anything.

Oh, no, I've only just been living with you

-for how long? -Well, now you're moving out

so you can keep your opinions.

But what, so that gives you the right

to say anything you like?

Okay, guys, that's enough. Time out.

Yeah, Rachel, keep out of it!

You're not family.

I'm gonna kill him.

No, no. Shh.

You go back inside, okay?

You're too fired up. Go.

[dramatic music playing]

[Rachel] What are you doing?

I'm ringing a taxi.

I thought we were okay, Al.

I've got enough friends.

I don't need any more.

[Rachel] Yeah, well, you know what?

That might be the case for you,

but I need all the friends I can get.

Sorry.

I met a girl in Queenstown,

and I liked her a lot.

Yeah?

And I asked her out and you know what?

She said yes,

and she said yes a second

and a third time

and finally, I had a girlfriend.

And what happened?

She said that I was great,

but it would be better if we were just friends.

-Can you guess why? -You know what?

A lot of guys have used that line on me before.

It might have nothing to do with your--

Rachel, it has everything to do with it!

I can't prove it, though

because everybody pretends that they don't even see it.

And I come home and my mom's met someone

and you and Jake,

and I just see what I will never have.

Is there anything I can say to make you feel better?

Probably not.

Can you not say anything to Jake about this?

-No. -I'll tell him later

when I'm ready.

[Rachel]Alex had come home.

Problem was, it felt like the locks had been changed.

[Chel] It's fantastic. Look at that big pile.

Oh, no, that's the "don't know" pile.

-Oh. -[Nathan] No, it's fine,

we're doing well. We're doing all right.

Um...

Chel, what's this?

That's the receipt for my share of the land title.

-Land title? -In Vanuatu.

-You own land in Vanuatu? -Were there were a few of us?

We thought it would be a good idea running a resort.

-We were drunk at the time. -All right.

[Chel] The guy that sold it to us must have seen us coming.

It didn't happen.

Is it tax deductible?

No, Chel, it's not tax deductible,

unless there's a category for bad decisions

made while drunk.

It'd be a big category.

-For both of us. -[both laugh]

[Jake] I don't know what's going on with him

but he would've have meant it like it sounded.

A bit of verbal biffo.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Here.

What I said to you earlier,

-I'm sorry. -Oh,

don't worry about it, mate. You can say

what you like around here. I'm used to it.

[Ted] You heard him. Here.

There's a beer here with your name on it.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

You know sometimes our kids have got to learn

that they're not the center of the universe.

-Aren't they? -[Julie] It's news to me.

I think Jake moving out and...

[Julie] Yeah, well, it's a... it's a big disruption

for Alex, but he'll cope.

Please don't worry, I'm sure it will work out.

-Won't it? -Absolutely.

Yeah, you've got to trust her.

She's generally right about these sort of things.

[upbeat music playing]

[Carbo] Hey.

-Hi. -You've got a way with words.

-Poetry. -You think?

Oh, yeah.

I'm so hot for you, I'm burning up.

Oh, bite me, possess me like no one ever has.

You're not a virgin, are you?

Yeah, I'm Greek. No such thing.

-[Natalie] Ooh. [chuckles] -[Carbo moans]

Oh, I'm so hot, I'm burning up.

So you keep saying.

You really like to talk, don't you?

Those are your words. They get me going.

-My words? -Yeah.

[phone ringing]

Don't worry, it's just my husband.

Husband? You never said you had a husband.

We've only just met. We've hardly even had

-a conversation. -No, no, no,

we've shared our deepest desires

and you said you'd be my mortal

and I'd be your vampire.

Ew! What?

-Not you? -Absolutely not me.

Huh.

[Carbo] Is that...

Is that your husband?

Who else? What do you think I am?

Um...

you know, look, I'm sorry.

This... That there was all good.

It was, uh...

ah, look, um, welcome

to the neighborhood, but...

Yeah.

I've got to go.

-[Nathan] Are you kidding? -[Chel] No.

[Nathan] Oh, Chel, I can't believe

-how much you've traveled. -[Chel] I love it.

I have to put it on hold for the moment, though.

[Nathan] Oh, no, you'll go again.

Yeah, maybe. Maybe I shouldn't be allowed.

I've done some silly things.

-Well, you're still standing. -Sort of.

I hitched a ride on the back of a motorbike

in Thailand and came a cropper

and I had to have a blood transfusion.

Wow.

-When, when did that happen? -About 20 years ago.

-Can I ask a question? -Is that how I got HIV?

-[Nathan] Yes. -I think so.

I mean, there's no knowing for sure, but I think so.

All from that one choice.

Until we crashed, the bike ride was fun.

You can't waste time regretting things.

You're amazing. I wish I could feel that way

about my bad choices.

You can put a positive spin on anything.

Really?

-Even what happened to you? -Yes.

I appreciate my life like I never had before.

If you're not sure how much time you've got left,

you're not gonna waste it hating yourself.

[Rachel] I'm glad things are better on the home front.

Okay, good night.

-Everything all right there? -Yeah, it seems to be.

-I'm gonna pack it in. -Okay.

Good night, Dad. And, hey, thank you again

so much for today. I really appreciated it.

[Dave] Hey, it's the tax man. How'd you go?

Good, yeah. Is Mom around?

[Dave] Nah, she's gone to bed.

She didn't get much sleep last night,

thanks to Ruby, and neither did I,

so, um, turn out the lights.

-Will do. -Hi.

What's that?

It's a plant that Chel potted.

It's for your new place.

-Is it? -[Nathan] Yeah.

-Oh, that's so nice of her. -Mmm-hmm.

-[Rachel] Did you get one? -No.

I haven't finished her tax yet.

Oh, how useless are you?

Very.

No, I was only joking, Nathan.

I'm your big sister. It's my job.

You were right, though.

You know I've spent my whole life being this

completely useless and selfish person,

and I don't like it and you know

I don't want to be that way anymore.

-Whoa, Nathan-- -No, I mean it, Rachel.

I mean it.

If I could be someone different,

I would be, but I don't know how.

Right.

-[Alex] Hey. -Hey.

So...

I've got to tell you something about yesterday.

Oh, don't worry.

Don't worry, mate. Forget about it.

Well, I can't.

I've got to tell you why.

Okay.

I went out with a girl in New Zealand

and she dumped me.

Right, so stuff her.

There's plenty more out there.

No.

There isn't, not for me.

Oh, come on, mate. Trust me. They're there.

Okay. See, you show me one girl

who chose me over you.

I don't want you to feel sorry for me.

But I need you to admit the truth.

Al...

sometimes honesty's a big ask.

I live with it.

Every day.

I still hope that someone will want me.

But I don't think that they will.

Well, I hope you're wrong.

I want to feel good about you and Rachel,

but when I see you together,

all I see is what I haven't got.

-What's up with you? -I just saw him.

He's got a Rottweiler. I think he's tracking me.

What are you so scared of?

The way you described it she's not coming here

-any time soon. -[Carbo] Yeah, but he might

and trust me that bloke you don't want popping around.

He's got guns.

Hey, uh, what's this?

Oh, we bought it together.

It's kind of tasteful, yeah?

Yeah, we both wanted something plain.

Yeah, but where's my rooster?

Don't worry, it's safe. It's in the cupboard

-in the garage. -What's it doing in there?

-Well, that's where we put it. -But it belongs there.

Look, it's always lived there. That's its home.

-Well, now it's got a new one. -[Carbo] No way.

I want it back where it belongs, okay?

It's been there since I was a little kid.

Ooh.

It might be another message from your admirer.

I don't want to look at it. Look, it's her fault

that I've got a psycho killer after me.

Look, whoever you are, leave me alone!

-[laptop beeps] -And I want my rooster back.

[laptop beeps]

Well, it's a good thing you're cute

because quite frankly after getting us up

four times last night, your personality leaves

-a lot to be desired. -Oh, how could you say that?

Look at that face.

[Dave] It doesn't cut any ice with me.

[Nathan] Knock, knock, knock.

-Hello. -Hey.

Now if either of you act like this is out of character,

-I'm gonna take it right back. -No, no, I prefer you didn't.

Oh, what've we done to deserve breakfast in bed?

Well, I just wanted you to both have a lovely coffee

before I told you that I've made a decision.

Um, I've decided that I'm gonna test

for the kidney compatibility.

Well, why don't we just find out what happens with me?

-[Julie] Yeah. -No, no, no, it's something

that I feel strongly about.

You know, I just want you guys to know

that I'm offering and that I mean it.

Yeah, but you don't need to, darling.

No, but I want to.

Yeah, I'm not doubting your sincerity,

but you don't need to do this.

-I do. -No, you don't.

-We don't think you should. -Why?

Well, because we don't and it's unnecessary.

I'm really sorry you feel that way.

[Rachel] Oh, no, some of these are really fantastic, Alex.

Ah, thanks. Yeah, maybe later

I'll show you the ones with people in them

-when I'm feeling braver. -[Rachel] Yeah.

But now I'm gonna go and mess up my room.

Yeah, Mom tidied it. I couldn't stop her, man.

Oh, yeah. No worries.

It won't take me long to mess it up,

and then it will feel like home again.

-And speaking of home... -Yeah.

I think we should wait.

You don't want to get a place with me?

No, of course I do.

-But-- -Don't give me that look.

-You know I love you. -Yeah, yeah.

But...

there's Alex.

He needs his big brother right now a lot more

than I need a live-in boyfriend.

And I think we owe him some time to sort things out.

Say something.

I don't want to wait to live with you.

I know, but it's not forever.

And...

What?

We're in this for the long haul, aren't we?

Got the rest of our lives, right?

Right.

You're awesome.

You're awesome, you know that?

The kind of girl that could care that much

about my brother,

she's worth waiting for.

I was looking forward to trashing your place.

Get you back for those teenage years.

Oh. Look, under the circumstances,

I think you've made the best possible decision.

-That goes for me, too. -Thanks.

I appreciate it.

You sure you're okay?

If I'm honest, no.

I was really looking forward to it, Mom.

Getting a place of our own,

-if we ever agreed on one. -[chuckles]

-We were making a home. -It'll happen.

-Hopefully. -But for now,

I'm just gonna have to put up with Dad's bad jokes

-for a little while longer. -Well, what doesn't kill you

makes you stronger.

I would like you guys to know, however,

that seeing as I am staying,

I would like to make a few changes

just in recognition of the fact

that I've actually become an adult.

Oh, what sort of changes?

Um, I haven't decided yet, but I'm gonna think

-about it while I plant this. -Okay.

Of course, there is a downside to Rachel not moving out.

-What's that? -No pool room.

Aw.

-[Melissa] Hello. -[Sammy] Hello.

-[Ben] Hey. -[Melissa] Thanks for coming.

Hey.

You're brave coming here.

Oh, come on the food's not that bad.

-No, not what I mean, but-- -No, I know and it's okay.

You seem so much better than last time we saw you.

I am. And, ah, that's actually the reason I called.

Look, I think I'm ready to make contact with Nathan.

[Ben] Oh, I'm so glad you said that.

It's killing me not telling him.

I'm feeling stronger and, yeah, I think I'm ready.

-I'm glad. -[Sammy] So, um,

how do you think I should go about it?

Do you think I should just call him?

Actually, just let me tell him.

-[Sammy] Really? -[Ben] Yeah. It'll come

as a bit of a shock and I live with him.

I can pick the right moment.

I've got some explaining to do.

I'd prefer it if it came from me.

-You sure? -Yeah.

Okay.

-Well, cheers. -Cheers.

[Ben] Cheers.

-Bloody Carbo. -Poor thing.

-Nathan. -We're telling him.

-Yep. -No more excuses.

-No. -How are we going to do it?

Not we, you.

You really pounded the pavement.

I'm just trying to shake this bad mood.

What's wrong?

Oh, it's just some stuff with Mom and Dad.

They can just be so damn negative sometimes.

-Right. -Sorry, I shouldn't be

dumping this on you. You guys are always there for me.

[Carbo] Hey, ah,

did you see anyone outside?

You know, big bloke that looks like Ivan Milat's cousin?

-No. -Good.

Hey, look, after much consideration,

I've decided I think it's okay for you guys

to have that vase thing there.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

You're not gonna have a big whinge

-about it later, are you? -[Carbo] No, look,

I think it's okay for you guys

to have one thing in here.

-Ah, maybe even two? -Or three?

Uh...

Yeah, I guess so. I mean, it's only fair.

-This is your home, too. -[both] Thank you.

That's all right, but, uh, excuse me.

Don't touch my rooster again.

Okay?

Who are you hiding from now? You're only going to work.

Well, work's not the problem.

It's getting there.

Wish me luck.

-Go tell Nathan. -No, I can't tell him now.

You heard him, he's too angry.

-Wimp. -Wuss.

-Sook. -Coward.

Hey, kid, do you want to move out of the way?

I'm backing the car out.

Walla, walla, wincha?

Yeah, yeah. Wa-wa wincha.

No, which is great, but we're over that now, okay?

Do you want to be my vampire?

-What? -[Georgia] 'Cause I wanna be

-your mortal. -You?

You?

-How old are you? -I'm 16.

-Sixteen? -[Georgia] Okay, I'm not,

-but I'm old for my age. -No, look, I am so sorry.

You really should go home now.

But you said all those things--

No, no, no, no, look, I didn't know

you were, well, who you are. I mean it.

Go home. Right now.

-But I love you. -Oh.

[Georgia] And I know you feel the same way.

No. Trust me, I do not. Go home.

You know where you should be right now,

you know, playing with your dolls or something.

Oh, this isn't happening.

I thought you were going to work?

Uh, what? I can't.

-What? -She's underage.

She's so underage.

I'm gonna get arrested.

What was all that about?

I think Carbo's finally cracked it.

Great. So I've got parents who don't take me seriously

and a housemate who's a nutcase.

That's the last thing I need.

No, that is the last thing I need!

Don't worry I'll take care of it.

-Really? -Really.

-I'll grab the dustpan. -No, no, no, I've got it.

Thank you, Ben, I owe you. I'm really sorry.

What?

You'd rather take the rap for the broken rooster

-than tell Nathan? -Look,

the rooster has spoken.

I'll tell him, just not right now.

It's clearly not a good time.

-Wimp. -Wuss.

-Sook. -Coward.

[upbeat pop song playing]

-[Jake] Hey. -Hey.

Okay.

[Rachel exhales]

-Oh. -What do you think?

Yeah.

Nice.

Yeah, I think you've got wallpaper paste

in your hair and paint on your nose.

-Hey. No, come on. -[chuckles]

I really want your opinion.

-It looks good, right? -Mmm...

there is one thing...

[both] Ah!

-Now that looks better. -Mmm-hmm.

So do you.

[Rachel] And in that moment with Jake,

I was home. We were home.
