[Nathan] This was it. The moment of truth.

-No going back now. -Cold, Nathan?

Um, a little bit.

Well, we can't have that.

[singer] ♪ What a beautiful day ♪

-It's been warmed. -Thanks.

-Won't be long. -Okay.

[Nathan] And to think only a few days ago

I really had been... fearless.

-So, where do I sign? -[Michael] Hang on.

Until the surgeon has visually inspected your kidney--

Michael, you worry too much.

Okay, where do I sign?

Down the bottom.

[Nathan] Bring it on.

[Michael] I have to be absolutely sure

that you're aware of the risks.

What's that old Turkish saying,

"He who wants a kiss,

does not ask where's the cheek."

-Meaning? -I don't know.

Just thought I'd lighten the mood.

Michael, I'm not afraid of death anymore.

But since I met my family, I really love life.

I'm fully aware of all the risks.

Bring it on.

[sighs]

-How'd you go? -All signed.

Oh, Chel, fantastic.

Oh, my goodness I kind of wish

we were going in there and doing it right now.

Monday will come soon enough.

Yeah, I guess.

So what do you want to do now?

Do you want me to take you to mom and dad's?

No. Can you drop me at home?

There are some things I want to do.

Yeah, sure. Is there anything I can help with?

[Chel] No. I'm gonna write some letters.

[Nathan] Some letters?

Chel, that doesn't sound too positive.

Depends on the letter.

It's a cleansing ritual.

My new life starts on Monday,

and there's bits of my old life

that I still have to lay to rest.

-Like Tom. -Yeah. Like Tom.

[Ben] So, uh, let me get this straight...

-Solar Panel girl-- -Her name's Amy.

Okay. Amy doesn't drink, correct?

Of course she drinks. What do you think she is,

-a koala? -Doesn't drink alcohol.

[Carbo] She's very responsible,

and I've always got a designated driver.

-Doesn't eat red meat. -Oh, for real?

[Carbo] Lots of hot chicks are vegos.

It's super healthy.

As long as she's getting enough iron.

-Not yet she's not. -Oh, Ben.

[Ben] And she's saving up to buy a hybrid.

You're right, you two are the perfect match.

[Carbo] Joke if you like

but relationships are about compromise.

-Look at you two. -Why?

Everything Mel has to put up with.

-What? -He's got a point.

Hmm. Anyway, we're going out again tomorrow.

And it sounds hot.

-We're going twitching. -Twitching.

Do you know what twitching is?

-Nah. -Do you?

Yeah.

Nah.

-Hey how'd you go? -All systems go.

-Hey. -That's fantastic.

-Thank you very much. -What's in the bag?

Oh, uh, I'm just gonna write some letters.

-Letters? To who? -Family and friends.

There's a few things I wanna say.

I'll see you in a bit.

-Hey. -Oh, hey.

This isn't some sort of last will

and testament thing, is it?

-No. God, no. -Oh, good.

Cause I thought maybe the hospital

put their wind up you or something.

No, Ben. I'm fine. Chel gave me the idea,

-that's all. -So, it's, uh--

It's just something I wanna do.

Saying some things I haven't gotten around to saying.

-Like? -I don't know.

I haven't written yours yet.

'Cause you know whatever it is,

you could say it to my face.

Like it couldn't be any worse

than what we already say to each other.

No, Ben. It's just something I wanna do.

It'll feel good. It'll be like a ritual.

-A what? -A ritual.

-I'll leave you to it. -Okay.

[Ted] A ritual? A ritual is when you tie

a virgin to a stone altar and cut a heart out.

-That is a ritual. -Exactly.

Ben, you're not made of glass.

Oh, sorry. So, um, what do you reckon?

I reckon I love time off in between jobs.

I love day time TV.

[Ted] My last word,

considering what's ahead of them,

I reckon Nathan and Chel should be allowed

to indulge themselves a little bit.

And I don't know how you can watch that stuff.

Do you reckon I need a Cardio Twister?

-Yes, you do. -Yeah.

But don't you think it's just a little bit weird?

Oh, well, if he wants to write letters,

just let him write letters. Get over yourself.

I am over myself. Why don't you move over.

Hello, sweetheart... Ooh sweethearts.

Hi. How was mother's group?

Ah, it's always reassuring to know

you're not the only one making mistakes.

Rachel, you're still in your pajamas.

Um, technically they're old trackie dacks.

Yeah, well, technically you're supposed

to be picking Jake up in about 15 minutes.

I forget. Ben, you distracted me.

-Didn't! -Yes, you did.

-Didn't! -Did!

[Julie] Ah, children.

Oh, hey, and we're having a lunch

for Chel and Nathan here on Sunday.

Well, Chel goes into hospital that afternoon

so you've been warned. I want you all here.

[Dave] Well, I'm gonna take Nathan for a run.

Take his mind off it.

Everything will be fine, all right?

-Bye. -Yeah.

[dramatic music playing]

-Hey, uh, Natho? -Yep.

Your dad's downstairs.

He said you're going for a run.

Oh, yeah, right.

How's the letter writing going?

-Yeah, good. -Got a few done already, eh?

-[Nathan] Mmm-hmm. -For friends and family.

Yeah.

Hey, what do you know about twitching?

Um, isn't that when your eye muscle spasms?

Yeah, that's what I got too.

-Really? -[Carbo] Mmm.

I never noticed that.

Oh, no, no when I did a search.

Oh, right.

[Carbo] Half a million hits on muscle spasms.

Which can't be what Amy has in mind.

-Can it? -I don't know.

Just go with the flow, enjoy the surprise.

Hmm. Yeah good idea.

You know I love surprises,

in all shapes and sizes.

Don't we all.

See you man.

See you.

Family and friends, he said.

Family and friends. Well, what am I?

-Chopped Sykotakia? -Was there one there for me?

-Of course there was. -What did it say?

It was sealed.

What could he have to say to me

that he can't say to my face?

I don't know, but if Nathan wants to write

some letters and put his affairs in order,

-then we should respect that. -[Ben] Yeah, I do,

but it's a really safe operation, yeah?

They do them all the time.

It's a big operation. There are always risks.

Yeah, but there are risks doing everything,

riding a bike, crossing the road,

jumping in a swimming pool.

Using a fork to get bread that's stuck in the toaster.

What? I almost electrocuted myself once.

Hey, good run?

[Nathan] Yeah, fantastic run.

Oh, is that sushi? Yummy.

Well, it's your favorite.

Actually, I hope there's enough.

More than enough. I'm ordering a pizza.

Something that's actually cooked.

-[Ben] Hey, uh, Natho? -[Nathan] Yeah?

I was thinking I'm off tomorrow,

so how about we go fishing?

Oh, wow. I can't remember

the last time we went fishing.

All the more reason to go.

What do you say? It's no worries.

I can get a boat from the club.

Um, I'd love to.

-Good. I'll call Derek. -But I can't.

Sorry. I thought I might go and see Tom tomorrow.

I'm having this mental block trying to write his letter

and I thought seeing him might help.

Yeah, no worries. So, why don't I come with you?

'Cause I want to meet our new grandad too.

Ah, I sort of need this to be a one on one this time.

-I'm sorry. -Yeah. No worries.

Anyway, I'm gonna hit the shower.

That sushi looks fantastic, Mel.

What time's she picking you up?

-[Carbo] About now. -Early date.

It's twitching, mate. You have to make an early start.

You still don't know what it is, do you?

Yeah, of course I do. It's um...

It's a lot of fun. A little bit kinky maybe.

-It's bird watching. -What?

-Oh. -[Carbo] What?

Bird watching.

-What, perving on chicks? -No, real feathered,

beaked, nest building, bird watching.

[laughs] No, it's not.

[Melissa] Trust me. My uncle was a twitcher.

They're nuts.

-Yeah, right. -Don't say I didn't warn you.

Okay, I'm off.

[Melissa] Hey, do you want some breakfast?

-Toast is made. -Ah...

no, I'll grab something on the way.

I wanna beat the traffic.

Ben, I'm sorry if I upset you last night.

You didn't upset me.

Fishing sometime would be awesome.

I need to do this by myself.

I understand.

Hey, drive carefully, yeah?

-I'll see you soon. -See you.

-[Carbo] See you, Natho. -[Nathan] See you.

Feathers and beaks, are you sure?

-I'm sure. -[doorbell rings]

Twitching time.

How bad can it be?

[dramatic music playing]

-Oh, Nathan. -[Nathan] Hey, Tom.

So, um, you're on your own then?

Yeah, yeah.

So, to what do I owe the pleasure?

Well, um, I tried to write you a letter

but I got stuck.

Nah, I was never much for letter writing myself.

Oh, no, it's not that. I just...

I didn't want it to sound phoney.

Phoney?

Are you hitting on me for money, Nathan?

-No. -[Tom] Cause I tell you

you're barking up the wrong tree there, mate.

No, it's not about money.

[sighs]

I guess basically...

I just wanted you to know that

I'm glad that I got to meet you.

And?

And...

not as simple as that really.

Well we're strangers but we're family

and I've come to appreciate family a lot lately.

You're my grandad

and that means something to me.

Sorry, that sounds really weird.

[Tom] No, no, no, no, no, mate,

it's just that I'm...

I wasn't expecting that.

Hmm.

You know my, um... My brother, Ben,

wants to get to you know you as well.

Brother? Coby only told me about a sister.

Oh, no two sisters. We've got Ruby,

who's the youngest. She's six months,

and Rachel's the eldest.

-Same mom? -Yeah.

I bet Ruby was a bit of a surprise.

Oh, yeah, she was, definitely.

Strike me four new grandkids.

Well, I'd love to meet all of you one day

but judging by the look on your dad's face

when he left here, I'm guessing

that's not gonna happen.

In fact I didn't think I'd see either of you again.

So, uh, did your dad tell his mom?

What, that you didn't remember her?

That there were lots of girls?

That you were just out to have fun?

Oh, it sounds a bit rough when you put it like that.

Yeah, well it probably sounded worse

-when he told her. -Yeah, I'll bet.

But look at it from my point of view.

[sighs] I was young and stupid

and anyway it was 40 years ago.

I can't remember what I did 40 minutes ago.

Well, she thought you were the love of her life, Tom.

Yeah, yeah, I know that now.

I didn't then.

Okay, so Amy's not the one.

-What happened? -Oh, Mel was right.

Twitching is bird watching.

-The feathered kind. -Yikes.

-In teams. -Oh.

So I suggested, you know, we go to the pub.

-And? -[Carbo] Oh, no, we couldn't.

We still had to spot a Hoary-headed Grebe,

a Short-tailed Shearwater and a Red-necked Stint.

-As you do. -[Carbo] Hmm.

Three hours, mate.

My patience was wearing thin.

Oh. You're only human.

And I was starving so I snapped.

I said the only bird I was interested in

-was a roast chook. -And?

And deal breaker. Wasn't even gonna drive me home.

Oh, you are kidding.

-I'm sorry, mate. -That's all right, mate.

There's plenty more birds in the forest.

Well, I suppose I better get going.

What's your hurry?

The chef's doing macaroni and cheese.

A bit later, some of the boys

-are having a game of poker. -Are they?

Right, um, well thank you

but I think I'm gonna pass.

No. Well, see in that way we're different.

I could never say no to a hand of poker,

let alone macaroni and cheese.

-Take care of yourself, Tom. -Yeah, you too, mate.

Do you reckon you'll be back?

-Yeah probably. -I'd like that.

-Anyway. -Ah, gee, you know,

a memory's a funny thing. It's sort of like a room

full of locked doors.

You just need the right key.

That dance, that was in Cobar, wasn't it?

-Nice try. -What it wasn't?

It was but I'm pretty sure dad mentioned that.

Did he? Oh, well, maybe he did,

maybe he didn't, or maybe it's coming back

in dribs and drabs, so you sit down.

No, Tom. Tom, you can't play with people's emotions.

I wouldn't dream of it.

Besides, your gran's been through far too much.

Yeah, she really has.

Okay. See you.

Hey, you tell her I want to see her.

Well, that's her call but I don't think she--

[Tom] And ask her about a Beatles song.

-The Beatles? -[Tom] That night in Cobar

we danced to a Beatles song.

[Nathan]Was he telling me the truth?

Or was he being the consummate conman,

just telling me what I wanted to hear?

And I tell you we tore up the floor.

All eyes were on us I remember that.

-Tom, I've got-- -I'm not saying it's not fuzzy

but maybe if I saw her face

then it'll all come flooding back,

every little detail. What have we got to lose?

You ask her for me, Nathan. Please?

[Nathan] And I believed him.

In that moment, I believed he was telling the truth.

Hey, we thought we'd have a lunch here tomorrow

for you and Nathan before you head to the hospital.

-Yeah, just something casual. -That sounds good.

Oh, look the bar's open. White wine?

-Just a small one. -What about you, Chel?

-Water? -Yeah, thanks.

-Hey, everybody. -Hey what happened to you today?

I thought you were gonna be with me?

Yeah, sorry about that. I went and saw Tom.

-Tom? -Hmm.

I thought you were gonna wait till after the operation?

Well, I know that's what I said

but there were a couple of things

I needed to say to him and a few things

-I needed to ask him so-- -Like what?

-How to flog a stolen car? -Dave.

I just don't see the point, Jules,

going there now, upsetting Chel.

[Chel] He... He's not... I'm not.

-What did you talk about? -He said he remembered

something about the dance in Cobar.

-[Chel] Really? -Yeah, he said you danced

to a Beatles song and that you tore up the floor.

His words.

Did he say which song?

-No. -[Dave] Well hang on.

Just think about it for a second.

It was the early 60s, right?

Surely every dance was wall to wall Beatles numbers.

Do you think he really remembered?

Well, he sounded convincing.

[Dave] Well, of course, he sounded convincing.

He's a conman.

Look you can see whoever you like

but this is really lousy timing for Chel.

Yeah, sorry. Yes, bad idea.

-Nathan. -Let's just forget it

-ever happened, all right? -No, no., no. Let's not.

-Chel. -[Chel] Nathan, Nathan.

Chel, I'm sorry. That was stupid.

[Chel] No, thank you. Thank you.

A little bit of emotional upheaval

makes life more interesting I reckon.

Ah, I'm not sure about that but okay.

Chel, I tried to write some letters too

but when it came to Tom, I got stumped.

That's why I went to go and see him.

I struggled with that letter, too.

I don't wanna give you any false hope.

You're not.

But even if he did make it up about the Beatles song,

at least he cared enough to lie.

The week's hard enough as it is without Chel

upsetting herself over ancient history.

Oh, she seemed to cope with the news.

-She actually looked-- -Hopeful?

Yeah, that's the trouble.

She doesn't need it.

She just needs him out of her life.

Well, you can't blame her for wishing it was true.

She looked tired tonight.

Well, she's got a lot on her mind.

Exactly.

She needs to focus on being strong

for the operation.

She can't die, Jules.

[dramatic music playing]

Got some flowers for you, mate.

Oh, my God.

They are so beautiful.

Yeah, thanks, mate. But they're not from me.

-They're from, um-- -Jesse.

It's our anniversary.

Yeah, Jesse, right.

My boyfriend. [sighs]

Twelve weeks and they said it would never last.

-He's the one, eh? -He is definitely the one.

-Thank you. -Um, congratulations.

-[horn honking] -Hey! Filthy poofters!

[Alan] You morons!

Cretins! Losers! Don't worry about them.

They're so far in the closet they've found Narnia.

Ah, no offence, mate, but they didn't seem gay.

[scoffs] Everyone's a little bit gay.

Some just are more obvious than others, right?

[Carbo] I told him not even a bit.

As straight as they come. Straighter than straight.

Yeah, yeah, we get it.

Karandonises are lovers of women,

conquerors of skirt.

Are you counting your mom in that?

-Hetero hero stud muffins. -Yes. What part of

"we get it" don't you get?

-He's just a bit nervous. -I'm not nervous.

Look, I'm comfortable with my sexuality.

But, uh, well, what do you guys reckon?

What, that everyone's a little bit gay?

-Yeah. -Well, there is this nurse

in oncology who's pretty hot.

-Really? -Nope.

Melissa, this is serious.

Can you not disrespect my fantasies like that?

Oh, what's the big deal anyway?

Some people are just born gay.

[gasps] Some people achieve gayness.

And some people have gayness thrust upon them.

Hey, Benno.

What does this guy do for a crust anyway?

Alan? He's a hairdresser.

Hairdresser and a florist.

-Perfect match. -Ha-ha, very funny.

Yeah, big mistake expecting a serious answer

-from you blokes. -Oh, Carbo,

-what does it matter? -Well, it doesn't.

You know, I was just curious, that's all.

-Bi-curious? -Curious, curious.

-I've got to go back to work. -Hey, come here, come here.

Group hug. Group hug.

Oh! Please tell me that's your hand, Mel.

Well, you don't have to see him.

-You could wait outside. -It's not that.

It's just, why the change of heart?

I thought I could put it in writing

-but I need to see him. -I understand.

-I do. -Me too if it's any help.

Well, you know, Julie's organized

-a big lunch today. -Don't let that stop you.

Well, we've got time if you drive me

and we leave now.

Look, I know you want closure but honestly are you prepared

for disappointment?

Heartache even?

All that, it's something I have to do.

Okay. Let's go.

We'll call you on our way home.

Hmm. Good luck.

She's made a real effort, the hair, the makeup.

Well, last time she saw him she was just a girl.

Well, people can say they're prepared

for heartache.

In my experience, they rarely are.

Well, let's hope she doesn't need to be.

Hmm.

[dramatic music playing]

Rachel?

It is Rachel, isn't it?

Yes.

Um, my, my friends always call me Chel.

Well, then that's what I'll call you too.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Ten minutes, what's that?

It really is you.

Afraid so.

I'm amazed you can recognize me.

Please.

So, um, Nathan gave you my message?

You remember that night?

Bits of it.

-I suppose for you it's-- -As clear as yesterday.

I never thought I'd leave such a lasting impression.

Yeah, well a baby leaves a fairly lasting impression.

This is me... um, taken back then,

about a year after Dave was born.

Wow you were beautiful.

I was.

Oh, no, no, I didn't mean that.

Anything?

Well, like I said to Nathan, I, it's just flashes.

So did you drive up?

Dave drove me.

-Oh, and he's-- -He's waiting outside.

Right, well fair enough.

Gee, Nathan's an intense young fellow, isn't he?

He reminds me of you a lot.

What, a good dancer?

Why don't you tell me some of the things you remember.

The flashes. Anything.

Okay, uh...

well I had a...

I had my dad's Holden, the old EK

'cause I nicked that to go roustabouting.

Yeah, you did.

Yeah.

Do you remember the cold?

Do I? Freeze the udders off a bull, it would.

I gave you... I gave you my coat to keep you warm.

What? I'm sure I did.

Didn't I?

It wasn't cold, it was stinking hot.

And then a storm came through.

It pelted down.

I must be thinking of a different dance.

I'd rather you didn't lie to me.

It's just that you seemed to want it so bad.

I did.

Oh, Chel, don't go. I'm sorry.

No, that's okay, it's okay.

Lemons.

Lemons.

Lemon scented gums. That's what they're called,

aren't they? There was a strong smell

of lemons after the rain.

I'm not making it up.

There were trees outside the shed where we took cover.

And you were wearing a red dress.

Blue skirt.

-I was sure you-- -With a red top.

Ah, how about that.

And The Beatles' song?

Love Me Do.

-Hey. -Well, hello Sleeping Beauty.

You finally decided to join us?

Yeah, I didn't drift off until after three last night.

I just couldn't switch my brain off.

Well, you better get a move on because lunch is in an hour.

Oh, right. Ben, can I ask you a favor?

-Sure. -I'm going to leave

these letters in my bedside table.

If anything should happen tomorrow--

What is the big deal with the letters?

I don't want to hear about your letters, okay?

Ben.

Forget I asked.

[sighs]

-What? -What do you expect him to do?

Treat tomorrow like it's a day at the cricket?

-Don't be ridiculous. -Well,

he's putting his affairs in order.

-It's a sensible thing to do. -He's not going to die, okay?

That's what you're afraid of, isn't it?

-What? -Well, that's why you're being

so hostile. You're afraid he might die.

-No. -You are. Admit it.

You are.

He's my little brother.

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

That's okay.

I need to spit.

-Huh? -I need to spit out.

[Nathan laughs]

Hey, who'd like some pie?

Oh, it looks just like a bought one.

-It is a bought one. -Oh.

Hey, what flavor is it?

Oh, don't say steak and kidney.

It's vegan and gluten free.

Yeah, and I didn't pick it.

What a waste of a pie.

-I'll have a slice. -Me too.

-Hey. -Hey.

-How did it go? -Good.

Well, worth the trip.

What's that? Is that steak and kidney?

[laughter]

So it's funny when she says it?

Snags will be ready in two secs, Dave.

-Taken my job have you? -No.

No, no it's all right. You carry on.

Well, worth it? Is that all I'm going to get?

Tom remembered.

Are you sure?

I finally feel at peace.

It's the best I can describe it.

Chel, that's fantastic.

-That's great. -[Dave] Um, excuse me all.

Steaks'll be ready soon, rare, medium and burnt.

Uh, look before we get to that,

um, I'd just like, don't worry I'm not going to say a speech

but I would just like to say

how much I love my mom and my son

and, uh, how proud we all are of Nathan

for giving this amazing gift to Chel.

We know it's going to go well tomorrow

and all these nerves are for nothing.

So I would just like to, um, grab this one here.

I'd like to make a toast to, uh, Nathan and Chel.

-[Rachel] To Nathan and Chel. -[Ben] Nathan and Chel.

[Rachel] Yay.

[Nathan] Let's eat.

[indistinct chatter]

-[Chel] It's time. -Already?

Yep. Have to be at the hospital in half an hour.

Thank you for a lovely lunch.

-Don't be nervous. -I can't help it.

Well, fake it for my sake.

I'll get my keys.

Oh no, you've driven enough today. I'll... get a cab.

Mom, I'm driving you. No argument.

Can you look after these for me?

-Nothing's going to go wrong. -I know but just in case.

There's one for each of you.

All right.

But you'll be getting them back.

Unopened.

-Really? -Mmm-hmm.

Did you book the executive suite?

-No, I booked the deluxe. -Really? Big mistake.

-The executive has a spa. -[chuckles]

-Oh, there you are. -[Nathan] Hey.

We went to your room and you'd gone.

Jules thought you'd gone AWOL.

Oh, no, no chance.

That nurse on the desk is a good sort.

-Dad. -I've always had this thing

-for nurses. -Not the time, dad.

Want me to put in a word for you, Ted?

Yeah, yeah, if I was twenty years younger.

You'd still be married to mom.

Excuse me everyone, uh, sorry to interrupt.

That's okay. Have you met my grandad Ted?

-Uh, Nathan. -Cheeky bugger.

Okay. I'm ready to do this.

Yeah.

Okay, well, we'll be here when you wake up.

Yeah, you better be.

I'll see you on the other side.

How are you feeling? A bit nervous?

Uh, a little bit.

[Dr. Spence] It's only natural.

If it's any consolation, I'm not nervous at all.

We don't expect any problems.

Now, I'm going to give you a pre-med

-which will help you relax. -Okay.

And then we'll take you into theatre, okay?

Okay.

And there it was.

I could taste the fear.

It's time to take you downstairs, Chel.

Okay.

-Whatever happens. -It'll be fine, it'll be fine.

We'll be there when you wake up.

But that'll take hours, don't wait.

-Mom. -Oh, all right.

-[man] Excuse me. -I'll see you when I wake up.

Good luck.

Good luck, mate.

You're not the only one with a thing for nurses.

♪ That you stay surrounding me ♪

[Nathan] It's amazing the difference

a little pre-med can make.

Feeling a bit more relaxed?

Oh, yeah.

Can I get some more of that stuff to take home?

This is a pretty wonderful thing you're doing.

My grandmother's a pretty wonderful lady.

Still. It takes a lot of guts.

Hmm, some guts and two healthy kidneys.

Uh, they're ready for us, doctor.

[Dr. Spence] Okay. Here we go.

You're going to be fine.

[Nathan] In that instant, life had never felt more precious.

Or more fragile.

My moment of truth had arrived.

♪ And I'm weeping warm honey and milk ♪

♪ Your warm whisper ♪

[dramatic music playing]

Hello sweetheart.

[Dave] Welcome back.

It's okay. It all went well.

You donated a beautiful kidney.

Mmm.

Oh, yeah you're in pain.

The nurse said to push this if it hurts.

-It's morphine. -Yeah, they said

you might be a little bit sore.

Yeah. How's Chel?

She's still in theatre.

No news yet.

-Early days, mate. -Nathan?

Yeah, come in. He's awake.

-Hi. -How was the little one?

-Ah, she was perfect. -Oh, sshh.

She's just sleeping.

He still looks so pale.

Yeah, he's still in pain.

[Ben] You're a hero, bro.

These are from Carbo, not in a gay way though.

It's a long story.

And look if you get bored you can play Operation!

-Woo-hoo! Woo! -Woo, yeah!

Since when did you become the comedian of the family?

I've always been the funny one.

[chuckles] No, you haven't.

-Well, yes I have. -Haven't.

-I have. I have. -Guys. Guys.

You're such an idiot.

Thank you.

Put that back.

Hey, Toula, yeah, just made my last delivery.

Yeah, okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye.

[man] Look who's here.

[man] The filthy poofter.

-Oh, get a life guys. -What did you say poofter?

Look, I don't want any trouble all right?

[grunting]

[Carbo coughs]

-[Erin] Rape! Rape! -Shut up you stupid bitch!

-[man] Nobody's touching you! -[Erin] Rape! Call the police!

[man] Leave him. Leave him.

Oh my God!

Are you okay?

Oh yeah. Oh.

-Are you a nurse? -[Erin] Oh, God no.

You must be an angel.

Are you sure you're seeing straight?

I'm fine. You saved me.

I really think that you should go to the hospital

to get checked out. Sometimes these things

-can have a delayed effect. -No need.

I'm okay. Really.

-Are you sure? -Positive.

Okay, well, I've got to fly

but at least make sure you call the police.

I mean those hoons need to be locked up

before they kill someone.

-I will. -Here.

[Erin] Tell them I am happy to be a witness.

-Okay. -And, um, call me tomorrow.

I want to make sure you're okay.

Erin. Erin Moore.

Promise me you'll call.

-I'll call. -Good.

Okay well take care.

Bye.

Erin Moore.

The girl I'm going to marry.

Rachel.

-[Dave] It's been four hours. -Shh.

-We should've heard by now. -No, well they said

-it might take this long. -Yeah, at the most.

There must have been a complication.

It's driving me nuts.

I'll come with you.

-What are you eating? -Want one?

No, he does not want one. How are you feeling?

Um, a bit stiff, a bit sore.

-Hmm. -I'm hungry.

Uh, no!

Darling, it's good that you're hungry

but the doctor said only fluids for now, okay?

We met him on his way in.

[Julie] Oh, Michael, hi.

-How's Chel? -Out of surgery.

-All went well apparently. -[Julie] Oh, thank God.

[Dave] Yeah. When can we see her?

Well, not tonight. She's still in recovery.

The plan is to move her down to the high dependency unit

by morning. They'll be monitoring her

pretty closely for the next few days.

Right. I said I'd be there when she woke up.

And you can be. Yeah, they'll keep her asleep

until after she's transferred.

So we can come back first thing?

All being good.

But right now I think Nathan needs his rest

and I'd suggest that you all do too.

-[Dave] Yeah, fair enough. -Yes.

All right. If there's any other questions,

don't hesitate to call, all right?

-Goodnight. -Thank you.

Ben.

See you, mate. See you.

Can you do us a favor and get rid of those letters?

I knew you wouldn't need them.

Oh, is it possible to be exhausted and elated

all at the same time?

I thought that was child birth.

-Oh. -Look there's something here.

-Oh, flowers. -Yeah.

-From Carbo? -Nah. No.

They're from... Tom.

-Tom? -Yeah, your grandfather.

Oh, one for Nathan and... one for Chel.

Do you think they're stolen?

-Rachel. -Maybe he busted out.

Enough you two. I think it's a lovely gesture,

-don't you? -Yeah.

Yeah, we should put them in water for tomorrow.

All right see you guys in the morning.

Oh, I'm going to come with you.

-[Julie] Night. -[Ben] Okay.

Hey, Rachel. Where are you going?

-Nowhere. -What are you doing?

-Nothing. -Hey.

[Rachel] Oh, don't pretend you're not going to read them.

I am not going to read them. Hey--

-Well, I am. -No, you're not.

Rachel. Rachel, stop it.

Oh, my God.

[Ben] Rachel.

You have to read yours.

[Ben] No.

No, this is really sweet.

You have to read yours, Ben. There's nothing

-to be worried about. -I'm not worried.

It's just...

-It's just a betrayal. -Oh, it's just a letter!

-Well, I'm burning the lot! -No, you won't!

You not reading yours because you won't

-able to help yourself! -I promise you.

-I won't read it! -You will!

-I won't! -Bring back evil Ben!

He was heaps more fun!

Hey.

How's Nath and Chel?

It went very well.

So far so good.

That's great.

Are you okay? What happened to you?

I'm fine.

I just met the girl I'm going to marry.

-You were gay bashed? -That's not the point.

-Mate, did you go to the cops? -Yeah, and to the hospital?

Ah, no and negative.

-Carbo. -It's nothing. I'm fine.

Have you had any headaches, nausea,

-any vomiting? -Look, I'm fine.

If they hadn't had scored that lucky punch,

I would've taken them both apart.

Mate, you've got to go the cops.

And have them make fun of me too? No way.

Anyway, that's not the point.

What do you mean that's not the point?

The point is I met Erin.

What a beautiful name. Erin.

-Who's Erin? -Aphrodite.

-Erin Aphrodite? -No, just Erin.

-Who's Aphrodite? -The goddess of love.

-I'm lost. -I really think

-you should go to the hospital. -Erin saved me.

What, from two gay bashers?

-Did she kick arse? -Better.

Mate, she yelled and they bolted.

It was awesome and she said I should call her.

-You reckon it's too soon? -No, go for it.

Yeah, but she said to call her tomorrow.

Mate, do it.

Okay. I will.

Hi, Erin. Yeah, it's, uh... It's Carbo.

You know, you met me today. The one you saved.

Carbo, hi. How are you? Are the police on the case?

Uh, yeah, and I'm fine.

But, um, look, hey, Erin look I wanted to, uh,

you know, just say thank you.

You know, can I buy you a drink

or send you some flowers?

Oh, well a drink would be nice.

It would? How about Friday night?

-Sounds great. -It does?

[Erin] Yeah. Hey, Carbo, look I don't mean to pry

or anything but, um, are you seeing anyone?

I mean you know are you involved?

No, no, I'm not involved at all.

You know I'm, uh, footloose and, uh, fancy free.

I'm just waiting for the one.

[Erin] Well, that's great.

Okay well I'll, sort out, the details

and then I'll give you a call, yeah?

Okay. Bye.

She wanted to know if I was involved.

Mate, you are in like Flynn.

Okay, he's totally cute, completely unattached.

You two are going to be perfect for each other.

Is there any news on Chel?

Yeah, apparently she had a really good night.

Mom and dad are with her now.

And there's no sign of any complications.

-That's good. -[Rachel] But I'm still a lady

of leisure till my new job starts,

so here I am

-and these are from Tom. -Really?

They were waiting at the front door

when we got home last night.

And this is from me.

Forgotten about that.

-You read my letter. -Yeah.

Yeah, it was really sweet.

Full of little memories. It made me laugh and cry.

I'm sorry I buried your favorite dinosaur.

Well, I did cut off your barbie's hair.

-Yeah you did. -[laughs]

I told Ben to get rid of the letters.

What happened? What, he just start

-handing them around? -Oh, no I just beat him to it.

-Ben was appalled. -Of course no one else

-got to read theirs. -So...

So they all got destroyed.

Yup. Which personally I think is a tragedy.

Especially if they were all like mine.

Which they pretty much were.

It's funny the things you remember.

And the things you'd hate to lose.

I'm going to say something

I don't think I've ever said in living memory.

You like my hair like this?

Oh, you read my mind.

I love you little brother.

Rach, I love you too.

Ow.

-Am I hurting you? -It's okay.

Pity we couldn't leave these with Chel.

Hmm. Did you see her face

when you read her the card from Tom?

Yeah.

I might've misjudged him.

Yeah, maybe you're right. If Nathan and Chel

can give him another go,

it'd be a bit miserable if I don't.

[Ted] Here they are.

Hey. Where's Rachel?

She's already in there. She sent us on a coffee run.

Hey.

You're looking better. How are you feeling?

Hmm, not bad. Ah, how's Chel?

Uh, she's still a bit groggy but as well

-as can be expected. -Oh, she's a tough old bird.

She'll be okay.

-You two are up next. -Oh, great.

Don't expect too much.

I wish they'd let me in to see her.

No, I think they might notice the empty bed.

You'll be allowed in soon enough.

No, not for at least forty eight hours

-according to Michael. -Well, I'm sure

there's a good reason for that.

-Yeah. -We'll give you your love.

-Thank you. -Can I have one of these?

Organ donors only.

[chuckles]

Well, if you're cracking jokes already,

you must be okay.

[Ted] Not a chance.

Day one of your new life.

You up for a chat?

[phone ringing]

Nathan's room.

Yup. Here he is.

-Hello? -Hi, Nathan.

-Chel. -[Chel] How are you?

Good. Good. How are you feeling?

We'd both survived.

Faced our moments of truth and come out the other side.

What lay ahead was a mystery but...

[Chel] It feels fantastic.

[Nathan] Bring it on.

I know.
