[theme music playing]

[Julie] Maybe it's the earth mother in me,

but there are moments in life when...

I don't know, the whole world seems at peace.

All of us co-existing in some kind of

universal harmony.

Unhurried, untroubled.

Living and letting live.

[thudding]

The possum's back.

Third night in a bloody row.

[Julie] And then there's my family.

-Third night. -Dad, could you

-keep it down please? -Do not tell me the baby

-can sleep through that? -The possum, yes.

-You lot, not so much. -[Ted] I'm getting the broom.

I don't think sweeping the floor's gonna help, Ted.

To bang on the bloody ceiling, bozo!

It's gotta get the idea it's not welcome.

Dad, shut up!

-Now where is the broom? -Are you lot right?

No! And the bloody possum's back. It's gone burker.

-The broom? -It's in your room, Ted!

Could you keep it down!

It's always in your room.

Oh, Grandad.

Look, it's just a possum.

-Just a possum? -Yeah.

Are you deaf or something?

[Rachel] He has got just as much right

to be here as anybody else.

I don't see its name on the mortgage documents.

-Give me the broom. -No. I can do the broom.

No one does the broom! No, listen.

You need to learn to co-exist, okay?

We invaded his habitat.

No! Learn to live and let live.

Yeah. Well, that's a good idea and I've got a better one.

How about sleep and let sleep.

It's ridiculous.

No! Grandad!

[Julie] So, Rachel's going, "No broom! No broom!

Give me the broom! Give me the broom."

Just as well Grandad doesn't have a shotgun.

[laughs] No.

Well, luckily the possums are protected.

Ah. True.

Well, just be thankful you're still in here.

I think you're the only Rafter getting a decent sleep.

Oh, yeah. But not a decent meal.

Look at that. What's that supposed to be? An omelette?

Well, I don't think it's even been near an egg.

Oh, and jelly fruit again I see too.

Yeah. It's one of the hospital's

four five food groups.

Well, here. Hey.

Don't tell the nurses.

I brought you a Danish.

Oh, you're the best.

Oh.

So you'll be glad to come home then?

-Yeah, you bet. -[chuckles]

Although, when you're forced to lie around in bed all day,

you do some serious thinking.

Ooh, that sounds dangerous.

Mmm. All the stupid things I've done

-is the kidney's fault, not me. -Ah!

-The kidney I no longer have. -[laughs]

Have you told Chel that yet?

-No. -[both laugh]

So, what are you gonna do

with this new found freedom?

[Chel] I don't know.

Skydiving, pole dancing.

Maybe go and see Tom again.

You're not there yet.

Not yet.

You might just need a push.

Maybe.

[Ruby cries]

[Julie] All right.

-Okay. I feel terrible. -[Dave] You all right?

We're gonna have to say hello and run.

She is about to turn feral

and no one here needs to see that.

This is for you, a Danish.

[Chel] You are a lifesaver.

So will you still be here tomorrow?

You're not gonna discharge yourself, are you?

No. I think I'll wait till I can walk without a nurse.

Which might not be that far off by the sounds of it.

I might just need a push.

Yeah, maybe.

See you.

She's probably right. I should see Tom.

Oh, what? Give him the benefit of the doubt?

-Everyone else has. -Mmm.

[yawns] That bloody possum,

I swear if he's stomping around again tonight.

Mmm. Well, darling, if that's all we've got

to worry about, we're doing pretty well.

[Rachel] Yes, and we all know where that leads.

-Ah, I've got it. Let me help. -No. Oh, I... I--

-It's all right. -[Ben] I need some chocolate.

-I need it today. -[Ben] Why do you need it?

-Because my life is hell. -[Ben] My life is hell.

-No, mine's heller. -[Ben] Tell her mine's worse.

How is yours worse? I'm not creative anymore.

-Oh, darling, you should-- -No and I'm not funny anymore.

You never were.

A week till my new job starts and my boss emails me.

He wants to know my preliminary thoughts

-on guess what? -Who cares.

Bear in mind that the client list

is high end fashion, high end cars.

Can we speed this up, please, so we can get to my problem?

A new deodorant range for men.

-Oh. -[Ben] Yeah, good.

Well, no, that's because you did such a good job

-on the Rampant campaign. -I did a good job

on that because it sucked every bit

of creative energy out of me that I had left

when it comes to men's body spray.

How am I gonna think of anything remotely fresh?

Just get some buff guy to come out

of the ocean and spray himself.

Okay, my problem.

Carbo made this pact that he's gotta be married

by the end of the year. Suddenly he's met this girl

and he's banging on that she's the one. Again.

Mom? Mom?

-Sorry. -I can't deal with it.

I had to leave it up to Mel.

-[phone rings] -Is that it?

That is pitiful.

Oh, pitiful.

Oh, look, message from my wife, "Help".

Marriage very stressful,

Carbo very stressful. I've gotta go.

Um, Ben...

Uh, are you gonna eat all that?

Well, what about this one?

God it stinks of mothballs.

When was the last time you wore it?

His cousin Toula's wedding. Both of them.

Hey, the last one was tops, hey, Benno?

-No, it sucked. -Come on, Ben.

It's about time you got over that.

-Why? What hap-- -Just leave it, Mel.

Anyway, so what do you reckon? Is this, um...

Is it too woggy?

It is woggy!

Oh, look, I really like Erin, okay?

-She's the one. -The one, yes.

Yeah. I wanna make a good impression.

And you will in any of these outfits.

Just stop being such a big girl

about the whole thing, you know?

[phone ringing]

It... It's her! It's Erin!

What do I do?

Just answer it and act casual.

Casual.

Hi, Erin. How's it going?

Yeah, good, Carbo. Look, I just wanted to, um...

To check that, uh, are we still on for tomorrow night?

Tomorrow night?

Um, yeah. We said we'd catch up, yeah?

-He forgot. -Uh...

Uh, yeah.

Tomorrow night. Definitely.

Um, yeah. Well, I was thinking

how about coming over here to my place?

You know, we can have some drinks

and I can cook dinner.

Your place?

Yeah. Cool.

Cool.

Yeah. Cool.

Hey, that's great.

Oh, good. I just, you know,

I thought it would be more relaxed.

Relaxed?

Yeah. Good. Good.

-Carbo! -Yeah.

Well, um, can you text me your address?

And, uh, I'll see you tomorrow then.

-[Erin] Okay. -Okay.

Bye.

She wants me to go to her house tomorrow.

I mean, that's good, right? That's really good.

Mate, it's better than good.

If she's asking you to her place, the only outfit

you need to think about is what jocks to wear.

Oh, how did you get me to marry you? How?

-Let me refresh your memory. -Oh.

Oh, whoa. Hey! Hey, hey guys, this is about me, yeah?

-What am I supposed to do? -Okay, tomorrow we go shopping.

We'll find you the perfect outfit.

Okay.

And when Erin's my wife,

we can all go out together.

And when you two are madly in love,

don't forget who did this for you.

It's gonna be good!

-[thudding] -Oh,

our little friend's back.

Well, if he's gonna live here,

we may as well give him a name.

What about Coby?

That little creature that sneaks about in the night.

Okay.

Let's do it.

What?

Go and see Tom.

-Really? When? -Yep.

Well, tomorrow. We've got a light day.

Jake can handle it.

Oh, okay. If you're sure.

Yeah. Well, he seems to be making the effort and if Chel

can forgive him then...

you think I'm a pushover, don't you?

Oh, you say that as if it's some kind of revelation.

No, darling, you're a softie.

And that's why we love you.

Well, here's one for the family album.

Ruby's first trip to the big house.

Are you guys gonna see Tom?

-Yeah, that's the plan. -Oh, well, what about me?

What about Ben? Can we come?

Well, we can't all pile around there.

-Why not? -Because it's not a social club.

But I'll... I'll speak to Tom

and if he's cool with it, um, you can all go

and see him next visit.

Yes.

Hey, now that it's happening,

I feels sort of nervous.

Do you want to get a babysitter?

No, I don't want to leave her for the whole day.

What? Ruby gets to go?

-Oh, here we go. -Live and let live, Rachel.

Hey.

How's the new kidney feeling?

Have you been telling any really bad jokes lately?

-No. -Really?

Damn it. That means I kept the dud one.

I'd swap it back but I'd hate to tell a bad joke.

Ah, yeah. What's the first thing

you're gonna do when you get out of here?

Go for a long walk.

Potter in the garden without getting tired.

Chel, you did get the dud kidney. Listen to you.

But that's just normal living. That's exciting enough.

Yeah, but there's so much more you could do. You could...

You could go travelling again. You'd love that.

-That's true. -Where would you go?

Oh, I don't know. Oh, I'm happy here.

No, no. I mean, if you could go anywhere,

where would you go?

Easy. India.

-It's wonderful. -Yeah?

I think I might have to start a little bit closer to home.

I can't... I can't go now though.

I'd have to get a bit stronger.

Yeah, yeah. But you will and when you are,

you and the kidney should go.

Definitely.

[Rachel] Part of me's accepting, part of me

still can't believe Ruby gets to go before I do.

How's work, darling? Are you looking for distractions?

-Yeah. Okay. -I still want a full rundown

of everything that goes on in there.

Yeah, you're really starting to scare me.

Hey, mate. I thought you were at the Catsi place

-this morning. -Yeah, but I'll need the van.

I didn't think it was that big a job.

I can't drive you. We've got to hit the road.

Oh, I'll drive the van if you like?

Oh, but you've got work to do.

No. I can drop you off and come home and work.

Yeah, but I need the van there.

That's the whole point of having it.

Okay. I'll bring my laptop

and I'll work while I wait for you.

-Oh. -Once.

I got jealous once, okay?

And what clients wear whit bikinis?

Jake, just let her drive you.

[Jake] All right.

Sorry, Dave. I'm starting to get a real pain.

Mate, we talked about it. It's fine.

Yeah, but it's making life difficult for everyone.

You just do a good job. That's all I need from you.

Plus it's not gonna be forever, is it?

Ready to go?

I didn't steal anything.

Uh, I'd like to check the baby's nappy.

Well, at least I can tell her at her 21st

she was strip searched as a baby.

I probably shouldn't have brought her here.

[man] Ah, forget it. Piss off!

Oh, take it easy. She still loves you.

Wow. I didn't know I was gonna meet

the whole family.

Um, you must be Julie?

It's finally nice to meet you.

Ah, didn't think I'd ever see you again.

Oh.

Well, thanks for coming.

How's Nathan and Chel doing?

Yeah, they're good they're getting out of...

Getting out of hospital soon.

They appreciated the flowers.

Yeah. And who have we got here?

Well, this is, uh... This is Ruby.

Hello, little Ruby kid.

I'm your poppy. How are you?

Oh, you know what, she gets a bit cranky around people

she doesn't know.

Well, you don't want to scream the place down.

Yeah. Fair enough.

Fair enough.

Oh, look, I'm sure... I'm...

I'm sure she'll be fine. Hey.

Hello.

There you go.

-Fingers crossed. -[Tom] Aw, hello, gorgeous.

Hello.

Hello, little Ruby.

You're a beautiful little thing, aren't you?

[Julie] What was I nervous about?

He was Dave's dad after all,

Ruby's grandfather.

But he was in jail.

And learning to live with a possum suddenly seemed

the least of my worries.

You've got Mommy's eyes, haven't you?

Really?

I think she looks more like Dave.

Well, in that case, I'll say a prayer for her.

So you tell me...

what made you change your mind?

Nathan and Chel were getting to know you.

I thought I better make the effort.

Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

I just didn't know what to expect.

My goodness, Dad, this little girl's

gonna have champagne taste.

Look at that dress.

My goodness. You're gonna make daddy

work the whole of his bloody life

-to pay for you, aren't you? -[Dave] Yeah.

Or at least until we're on the pension,

which unfortunately for Ruby

isn't that far off.

Why? Business is good, isn't it?

You're doing okay?

[Dave] Well, business is too good.

Right now I wish I knew how to clone myself.

Well, that's a good problem to have, turning people away.

-Yeah. -Well, it's...

It's more a case of being short staffed.

We're not exactly rolling in the cash.

Oh. You hear that?

No more new dresses for you, young girl.

Most of her clothes were gifts, actually.

Well, we don't go crazy buying her stuff.

No, no.

-[Dave] What was that about? -[Julie] What?

[Dave] It felt like you were getting your back up.

[Julie] Well, did you have to give away quite

-so much personal information? -He's my father, Jules,

not some guy from the tax department.

Hey, you were the one saying

you weren't entirely sure about him.

I just felt exactly the same way.

There's a difference between having a few doubts

and immediately jumping to conclusions.

That's not what I'm doing.

It just felt like there wasn't awful lot

of talk about money, that's all.

What, you think he's sussing out

where we've buried our millions?

Oh, I didn't say that. It's just...

Look, it's just a feeling I got, okay?

Well, do you think this feeling of yours

might have anything to do with the fact

-that Tom is in jail? -Well, yeah.

Hello, he is in jail. We can't ignore that fact.

I just think in future we need to be a bit more careful

about how much we give away about ourselves.

Right. In other words let's assume the worst

and not give someone a chance.

[Julie] I'll just put Ruby down.

-I can do it. -No, I got her.

Hey, so how'd it go?

Was it likeShawshank Redemption

or Midnight Express?

Did Jake get that job done?

Yeah, he's just out in the shed.

So?

Mom, were you in the room with all the prisoners?

Did they all have their little orange jumpsuits on?

Are you even gonna ask about Tom?

Yeah, sorry, sorry.

I was just getting to that.

How... How did it go?

-Well-- -Well, it was good.

Yeah, you can't just meet someone and expect to know

everything about them in 20 minutes.

You've got to keep an open mind.

Yes, which I'm sure Rachel will do

when she has her chance to visit.

Which is something that Tom is very much

-looking forward to. -Yes!

Oh.

So how was your work?

It's good.

And?

So far I've got a buff guy coming out of the ocean

spraying himself.

-Uh. -Dad, what's that?

[Ted] It's a possum trap. I just got it

-from the hardware store. -[Julie] Oh.

[Rachel] You've got to be kidding me.

Are you serious, Grandad?

I'm not gonna kill it.

I'm just gonna trap it and move it on.

Grandad, it has as much right to be here as anyone else.

No, it doesn't. Not if it keeps

the whole family awake night after night.

-I'm gonna the shed. -You keep me awake every night

with your snoring from down the hallway!

Well, then would you want the whole ceiling be covered

-in possum pee, do you? -Hey, it doesn't--

Who are you to decide! This is its habitat.

This is not a tree, it's a house.

-How'd you go today? -Yeah, got the job done.

-Good man. -Hey, uh, I'm sorry

I keep putting everyone out.

No, Rachel was happy to drive you.

Yeah, yeah.

Uh, there's some money

I can apply for that the doctor told me about.

Some allowance to help me get to and from work.

Like I should've done it before.

What, paying someone to drive you?

Well, I guess.

Well, you should check it out.

Yeah.

But I just hate taking handouts.

Well, even if you're entitled to them?

And you shouldn't have to carry me.

-You should have someone-- -Jake, we've been

through this before. You're a good worker.

I don't wanna train someone new.

All right? I know it's hard being dependent on others

but sometimes you've just gotta...

let people in.

All right. All right.

Well I'll go down to Centrelink

and check out the deal.

So, no matter what you think,

just say he looks fantastic.

-Yeah, look, what if I think-- -Carbo!

You look fantastic!

You reckon?

I really don't you know feel like me.

That's probably a good thing.

Uh, just think "international footballer".

What girl's not gonna be impressed when David Beckham

shows up at their front door?

Oh, until he opens his mouth.

But that's not a problem that you're gonna have.

Ooh, minty breath.

Mate, she's invited you over to her house.

You're in. Just don't go overboard.

No, I've just got some flowers.

I mean, Benno, she's the one.

What like all the other ones?

Well, all girls like flowers, right?

-Yes. -Okay.

-Hey, uh, Carbo? -Yeah?

Don't. Go.

Overboard.

[Erin] Wow! You didn't have

to go overboard. Come in.

Sorry. I mean, I can throw some out.

Oh, don't you be silly.

They're gorgeous.

So are you, by the way.

Check you out.

Those jeans are hot.

Thank you.

Oh, yeah. This is, uh, my flatmate, Jamie.

-Nice to meet you. Hey. -Hey.

Jamie's plans have fallen through

so he's gonna be joining us for dinner.

Oh, of course that makes me sound a whole lot

more tragic than I really am.

[laughs]

Oh, look at you two. Good taste or what?

Oh, no. If we were women, we'd be running screaming

-from the room right now. -[Erin] Oh, God, he says that

like I'm the only one who spends time

fussing over my clothes.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to make

a good impression.

You know making sure you look good,

that's just a sign of respect.

Well, so far I think you're doing pretty well.

Um, I'm gonna put these in some water.

Oh, and don't forget to cut the stems

at 45 degrees.

And here, put these little sachets

in the vase of water.

Oriental lilies can be very temperamental.

[Erin] Well, Jamie's our expert gardener.

You two are gonna have a lot to talk about.

Oh, I don't really know about expert.

Um, and, uh, can I get you a drink?

Uh, I brought some wine.

Or there's beer,

-I'm having one. -Beer.

Cheers, mate.

[phone rings]

Tell me it hasn't gone pear shaped already.

Well, she has a flatmate here.

Is that, uh, good or bad?

No. Maybe she just wants a second opinion.

Well, so Jamie her friend,

I've just got to impress him?

Oh, yeah.

Okay, cool. Okay got to go.

Thanks, Mel.

-Erin's got a flatmate there. -Right.

-And it's a guy. -He's stuffed.

-He's hot! -Darling, I told you,

didn't I?

-He seems a bit shy though. -What?

Because it's only been 15 minutes

and he's not tearing your clothes off?

Hey, whose is this?

Oh, yeah, sorry. Not a lot of choice around here

when it comes to reading matter.

I didn't even know this issue had come out yet.

Yeah, if you subscribe, you get it early.

-Are you a fan? -Are you serious?

Mate, did you read the last issue?

Restoration of a Corvette Sting Ray Coupe?

-Yeah. -Are you a car freak too?

Oh, when she says freak,

she means that in the nicest possible way.

Jamie's a mechanic.

Oh, my God. You two really do have a lot

to talk about.

It looks like we're gonna have to be mates.

Mate, if you can help me get parts for my car,

you'll be my best mate forever!

Grandad, why do you buy deodorant?

It's illegal to steal it.

Great. That's not helping but thank you.

-[phone ringing] -[clears throat]

Hello, Julie Rafter.

Mrs. Rafter.

Kurragar Correctional Center.

I have Tom Jennings for you.

-[Julie] Tom Jennings? -Do you accept the call?

Uh, just... How did he get our number?

-I gave it to him. -What?

It's been cleared.

Hi, Dave Rafter.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll speak to him.

Hello, Dave.

Yeah, g'day, Tom.

Yeah, mate. Uh, good to hear your voice.

I hope you don't mind me calling.

No, not at all.

What's going on?

What does he want?

I have no idea.

What did he want?

He asked me to come back tomorrow.

He said there was something he meant to talk to me about.

-But he saw you today. -I don't know, Jules.

He mentioned something about a favor.

-What does that mean? -He didn't say.

Look, anyway, I thought it would be a good chance

for Ben and Rachel to come along and meet Tom too.

Yeah, but what sort of favor? Money?

Let's just wait and see what he says

before we start jumping to conclusions, okay?

And since when does he have our phone number anyway?

It's a phone number, not the keys to the house.

-Yeah, but you gave it to him. -It's in the phone book.

Does this frilly bit go at the end?

The frilly bit goes at the end.

No, you said we're been cleared.

Yes, as we were leaving, he asked

if we could go on his phone list.

Oh, right. And you didn't think to ask me?

-Oh. -No, I don't like it.

It's intrusive and we hardly know the man.

He's a prisoner. There's lots of restrictions.

-Well, that's a relief. -Look, I know this is

-all moving very quickly. -Oh, you think?

But there's nothing to get worked up about.

I'm not worked up. What is that?

I think our possum has bladder issues.

Oh.

Oh, my God. Dad!

Get the trap!

What happened to "live and let live"?

That possum is out of here.

"Live and let live" is not so easy.

Especially when there's bodily fluids involved.

Oh.

That was fantastic. Thanks heaps.

-Well, I'm glad you liked it. -Here, let me.

Oh, no, no, no, that's cool. Leave it.

Oh, why don't you put some more music on?

Sure.

Okay. Madonna.

George Michael, Minogue.

Hey, who likes Nana Mouskouri?

Oh, my God.

That's me. Erin gives me

heaps about it all the time.

Hey, has this got "Four And Twenty Hours"?

Don't tell me you like Nana?

Well, I don't know her stuff that well,

but you know, being Greek.

Oh, put it on.

You'll just... You'll make Jamie's day.

[Carbo] Okay.

Oh, my God he's perfect.

Oh, yeah. Now, this car of yours.

-The Charger. -Did you park it outside?

Maybe you and Jamie can go and check it out.

Oh, no. I'm practically in the next suburb.

There was no parking anywhere near here.

Maybe we can catch up again sometime

and you can show it to me then.

Yeah, sure!

Oh, cheese knife.

I never know what to do

when it gets to this part of the night.

You know, I don't want to rush things

but I don't wanna look like I'm not keen, you know?

There's nothing wrong with taking things slowly.

Are you sure?

Absolutely.

And, uh, honestly,

if you were trying to make a good impression,

you couldn't have done a better job.

Erin, um, look,

I'm not gonna stay for cheese.

-Oh, really? -[Carbo] Yeah.

Look, um, I better get going but thank you.

I've had a fantastic time tonight.

I hope I'll be seeing a lot more of you.

Me too, Carbo. I'm...

I'm really looking forward to that.

[Rachel] So tomorrow we finally get to meet

grandfather Tom.

I can't believe we're actually related to him.

-I know. -I wonder if

we've got some sort of genetic

criminal time bomb just waiting to go off.

Can you imagine? You just walk into the bank

just wanting to cash a cheque innocently.

Bang. You're a bank robber.

-[laughs] -[Carbo] Hey!

I'm in love. She's the one,

and don't roll your eyes at me. I'm serious.

She's the girl I'm gonna marry.

If it all went so well, how come she sent you home?

Because Erin is not that type of girl.

Well, who's Erin?

They never are when they're not that into you.

No, she said I was perfect.

She told her housemate. I heard her say it.

She just wants to take things slowly.

I had a good talk to Jamie about it.

Jamie's the flatmate.

He's not an ex-boyfriend, is he?

No, no, no. He's Erin's mate just like you're my friend.

Who... Who's Erin?

Hey, I just think tonight

was the start of something big.

Mel, thanks for this shirt. It was bang on.

Who is Erin?

What?

Oh.

Sorry! My alarm didn't go off.

Oh, if you're about to tell me

you didn't have time to shower. Oh!

You can use it as inspiration.

That is so unfair. We all have to be in the car

with you the whole way there, Ben.

Didn't you say you were struggling for an idea?

Mmm, struggling, optimistic. That makes it sound like

I've got the beginning of an idea.

I'll be right without your help.

Thank you, Benny.

-So have you got everything? -Yep.

Okay. When will you be back?

When we get back.

-Ooh, frosty. -Yeah, told you.

What the hell is that?

[Ted] It's the possum.

I'm gonna take it to the park and let it go.

Oh, poor little guy. Gosh, he's cute, isn't he?

Yeah. Until he opens his mouth.

-A bit like David Beckham. -[Rachel laughs]

Yeah. You won't think he's that cute

the first time he pees over Ruby's crib.

No, no. You're right.

I was willing to give him a chance to--

Well, at least he gets that much.

But he crossed the line. He has to go.

Yeah, so do we. Come on.

Drive safely.

[Ted] Oh, the little bugger took off across the park

like he'd been shot out of a cannon.

Half his luck.

Oh, I've still got the cage in the car.

I could smuggle you out, if you like?

Where would we go?

I'm open to suggestion.

What about India?

The south? Kerala?

Oh, a bit far, isn't it?

Yeah, but it's not out of reach.

-What brought this on? -I don't know.

Just Nathan and I talking about travelling,

planted a seed.

I see.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Well, I wouldn't go until I wasn't up to it.

What is it, Ted?

Well, I don't get it.

After all Nathan's been through,

it seems pretty damned irresponsible

to be flitting off to Asia.

I'm not flitting off anywhere.

I mean, that's where you picked up HIV

in the first place. I thought the whole idea

was you'd have more time to spend with the family.

Look, it's not like I've gone out

and bought a ticket.

Yeah, but that's the plan.

First chance you get.

No, Ted, I'm here for the family.

The family's all that matters.

[people chattering indistinctly]

God, this is horrible. They're all looking at me.

Yeah. That one over there looks really keen.

-Ben. -What? Where?

The one with "mom" tattooed on his face. There.

No. He's looking at you, Ben.

-What? -[Rachel] Oh, God.

Oi.

What are you looking at!

Oh, it... It... It's okay.

No, it isn't. He's a bloody idiot.

-[Rachel chuckles] -I'm Tom.

I'm Rachel.

Ben.

Sorry about that.

Sit down.

[doorbell dings]

Oh, hey.

Uh, I'm a friend of Carbo's.

Is he home?

Oh, no sorry. He's at work.

-Ah. -I'm Melissa.

Uh, Jamie.

Carbo was telling me about

the problems with his car last night

and I was thinking maybe it's the alternator

and I could check it out for him.

Last night?

Uh, you were at dinner?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm Erin's flatmate.

-Oh. Oh! -[chuckles] Yeah.

Oh, best friend actually.

Same as you guys, yeah?

Uh, yeah, sort of.

Well, Erin reckons that gay friends and mascara

are the two best things in the world.

Although I think she'd pick her makeup bag

over me any day.

[laughs] I'm sure that's not true.

Oh, well, even if it is, you know,

I owe her big time after last night.

Don't tell Carbo I said that, okay?

I don't want to sound too keen.

[chuckles] Oh. Okay.

Can you tell him I popped around

and I'll call him later?

-Yeah. -Yeah. Okay.

-Okay. Bye. -Bye.

But anyway it's... It's a pretty good job.

I don't know if it's what I want to do

-for the rest of my life. -It's money in the bank.

-That's all that counts. -I guess.

So are you top dog around here?

-Ben. -Oh, absolutely.

I've got a whole posse of cats

at my beck and call.

I know this joke about the prison.

Ben.

I could've heard a few of them.

Uh, what, uh...

What was that one that Carbo was telling us?

Hey, Ben, that's enough. I mean it.

Listen to your dad or I'll break your legs.

Look at his face.

[all laughing nervously]

That's funny.

Yeah, that's funny.

[Tom] Hey, listen, uh, would you two mind

if I have a quiet word with your dad?

Yeah. No... No worries.

The clock's ticking and they're gonna haul me

out of here soon.

Hey it, uh...

It was really great to meet you.

Yeah, likewise. You too.

-You too, Rachel. -Yes.

-We'll see you again. -[Tom] Sure.

Bye.

All right. I won't, uh, beat around the bush.

I told you I need a favor.

It's about young Coby.

Anyway, Tom wants me to see if I can find Coby a job.

He's just scared that if he stays in Coolong,

he's gonna get himself into trouble.

Well, if he's breaking into houses,

I guess that's already happening.

Anyway, that was what the big favor was about.

Nothing to do with money.

He just wants me to see what I can do for him.

He just wants you to give Coby a job.

No. Well...

Well, yes, if we had one but we don't.

All I'm doing is asking around.

Maybe there will be a job and maybe there won't be.

Well, what do we even know about the kid,

-apart from-- -Apart from the fact

that he broke into our house, yes, I know.

But we haven't even met him properly.

All I'm doing is keeping my eyes open for him.

Where's the harm in doing that?

-So off to the shed. -[Dave] Yeah.

All right. I've decided

that I'm gonna come with you. To India.

I don't know why I was so nervous about it before.

-Ow. -Ah.

Ah, what? What's wrong?

What, you don't want me to come anymore?

Yeah, yeah, of course. But I'm...

I'm not going anymore.

-Why not? -[Chel] How would it look?

It would look like I came back, got what I wanted

-and then left. -And then left. No,

Chel, it doesn't. That's not what it looks like at all.

-Chel. -No, it does. It does.

Ted was right, it does. It looks like that.

Grandad? What did he say?

I got your message.

What did you want to say to me that you couldn't tell me

-on the phone. -No strings.

-What? -No strings.

Grandad, I didn't give Chel the kidney

so she'd owe us anything.

-Hey hang on. -Listen to me.

If she wants to go to India, that's her choice, okay?

She shouldn't feel bad about wanting to live

a life of her own. If anything,

we should feel happy for her.

You have no right to make her feel bad

about her decision. At all.

[Julie] It looks like I wasn't the only one

getting a crash course in live and let live.

I can't believe it. Carbo's got a boyfriend!

No, it's not like that.

The poor guy has no idea and he's really nice.

I can't wait to see Carbo's face

when he finds out.

So how was Tom?

He's fine. Can I tell him?

-Tell him what? -Carbo!

-About his boyfriend. -No.

Maybe... Maybe it's funnier

not to tell him and just sit back

and watch the biggest train wreck ever.

-Let me tell him. -No.

-Let me tell him. -No!

Hey. Did Erin call?

No. Somebody called around.

Ben! You should know something.

Tell him.

-Jamie came around. -Who?

-Jamie! -Erin's flatmate.

Ah, I told you, didn't I?

I told you I made an impression.

Oh, you impressed.

Carbo, um, Jamie's gay.

As if.

Nah, he told me.

But he's a mechanic.

Well, the two things are not mutually exclusive.

Oh, well, who cares?

-Good on him. -Yeah, exactly.

Um, except--

He thinks you're gay too!

What?

-I'm not gay. -What?

I'm not gay.

Yes, you are.

No, I'm not.

What, you want me to sky write it for you?

You...

How can you not like guys?

Because I'm not gay.

-You're a florist. -Who's not gay?

Look, the two things are not mutually exclusive.

You were being gay bashed when I met you.

Well, that's because they mistook me

for someone else.

-Someone gay! -Hey, hang on. So... So...

So when I invited you over here--

I thought, you know, you and me.

You thought it was a date?

Well, yeah. We, you know,

you felt the connection thing, right?

-You know the. -[Erin] No!

No?

Oh, that... That's so crazy.

Sorry, it's not funny.

Yeah, I heard you. I heard you say

you thought I was perfect.

Oh, but not for me, no.

Oh, Carbo, you're a... You're a lovely...

I just... I seriously thought

that you were not of the straight persuasion.

Look, okay, you made your point.

But, now that you know who I am,

maybe there's a chance?

No. Of course not.

No, you're not my type.

Well, how do you know?

Because it's obvious. I would just...

I would never go out with someone like you.

Like not in a million years. [chuckles]

Right.

Well, I better get going then.

Uh, oh, you know what?

Jamie really liked you.

He's gonna be really disappointed.

Yeah. Well, I guess I know how that feels.

-[Ruby crying] -[Julie] Okay.

No, here, I'll change madam.

Really? Well, you're a brave man.

Yeah. Consider it penance.

Oh.

I'm sure he didn't mean to upset Chel.

But he obviously did. She was mortified.

She said she's never going anywhere.

Yes. Well, I'm sure Dad had his reasons.

What happened to your motto "live and let live"?

Although, not if you're a possum

or you happen to have just had a kidney transplant.

Oh, all right. Okay.

[Rachel] So, here's my idea, right.

We do the whole deodorant campaign

but we shoot it as a deliberate send up

of those really macho '80s ads.

Oh, well, the '80s was very macho.

I mean, your dad had a moustache.

Very sexy.

But I'm thinking there's this guy in jail.

-Right. -Yeah. Okay.

Obvious influence but this time

the prisoners aren't really quite so unattractive.

Oh, I get it so it's the jail

where they send the supermodels.

Yeah, yeah. So the prisoner's released

into the world, he's hot for some action, spray, spray,

goodbye "love/hate" knuckles, hello hottie.

Jake's in the shed. He's looking for you.

What's all this?

It's my resignation.

I... I will give you as much notice as you need.

Mate, don't be stupid. You're not going anywhere.

No. Look, the way things are right now,

-I'm no use to anyone. -No. Look,

we had it all worked out.

We'll get the travel allowance

-and everything's-- -I looked into it.

That money, it's pathetic.

It's like, you know, enough for

two taxi rides a fortnight.

Jake, I don't want to lose you, mate. No.

Look, Dave, you need someone you can rely on.

Right now, that ain't me.

[Carbo] I should burn it. It makes me look gay.

-[doorbell dings] -It's not the shirt, mate.

Oi, Ben.

Erin already thought you were gay

-before the shirt. -Rub it in, why don't you.

Don't get me wrong. It's very European.

[Melissa] Jamie's here!

This just gets better and better.

[Jamie] I'm not stalking, I promise,

but, uh, if Carbo's here. I've...

Hey. Look what I found gathering dust at work.

Thanks. That's all right.

You okay? Is this a bad time?

Um, no.

But, uh, have you talked to Erin?

No.

Oh.

Is something wrong?

Well, knowing what she's like,

it's probably better this comes from me, not her.

Look, Jamie,

the thing is, you're great.

-You really are. -Oh.

Any sentence that starts like that can never end well.

I'm not gay.

What?

I'm not gay.

When I came over last night, I didn't know

-I was being set up. -But you...

No, I'm sorry about that. It wasn't...

That wasn't my fault. I--

Yeah. I mean, set up with you.

Right.

I get it.

So you were there--

For Erin.

That sucks.

On so many levels, that really sucks.

Yeah.

[clears throat]

Okay. Well, there's my serve of rejection for today.

I'm sorry, Jamie.

Well, why? It's not your fault.

It was a misunderstanding.

Well, it doesn't mean we couldn't be mates.

I mean, if that's not too weird for you.

I don't mind weird.

I'm joking.

Is it too soon for jokes?

Look, why don't you come over on the weekend.

Give me a hand to put the alternator in.

I'll supply the beers.

Sounds good.

Um, hey,

this could've gone a lot worse.

So, thanks. I guess.

No worries.

You should, uh, really think about him, mate.

-He's a keeper. -Shut up.

Hey, that was really sweet.

[sighs] Yeah. Well, being dropped sucks.

Hey, Erin wasn't good enough for you.

If she can't see what she's missing out on then--

Yeah, I know, her loss.

Hey, your soul mate is out there.

If I knew where she was, I'd go out right now

and ask her why the hell

she's taking so long to find you.

[chuckles]

Hey, but it's gonna happen soon.

I mean, for someone as gorgeous as you,

how could it not.

But I thought you said

there was some kind of an allowance?

Not even enough for a milkshake.

I don't want to lose him, Jules.

I can trust him with anything.

[Julie] Yeah, I know.

He's more than just a worker too.

Yeah.

So I said, uh, I'd find a solution.

-Mmm-hmm. -Which would involve

finding someone to drive him around,

plus, uh, a bit of basic laboring, a few odd jobs.

It wouldn't be much money so it'd have to be entry level

so it'd be someone who needed a chance.

Somebody who doesn't have too many options.

-Coby? -He needs a job.

Yeah, so do a lot of kids.

And most of them haven't broken into our house.

Yeah. Look, I admit his track record's not that good

but at least we know what we're dealing with.

We could hire one of those other kids.

They could have the same problem

and we wouldn't know anything about it.

So we check their references.

Yeah, yeah. Look, look, let me just talk to Coby.

It's not as if I've made up my mind.

Oh, well, you're sounding a lot like you have.

And you haven't?

Yeah, all right. Okay.

But we treat it like a proper interview,

like he's a normal candidate.

-No special treatment. -No.

Just like we're not giving

Jake any special treatment.

-Dave, I just-- -Look, look,

I promise I will make him jump through all the hoops

and if it doesn't feel right, I will not hire him.

Yeah. All right. Well,

I suppose everyone deserves a chance.

Yes, they do.

There's no need to call security.

I'm not here for a fight.

I'm not in the mood for one.

That's a relief.

I was just thinking about a holiday, Ted.

-That's... That's all. -Mmm.

In a country where it's not easy to get healthcare.

With a new kidney.

I'd be careful. Always.

Either way I'll be worrying about you.

That's what I was trying to say yesterday.

It just came out wrong.

And things might have changed a bit

since you were there last

so I got you this.

Oh.

[Julie] There are moments in life when...

I don't know, the whole world seems at peace.

All of us coexisting in some kind of

universal harmony.

Unhurried,

untroubled.

Living and letting live.

-[Dave] Oh, Jules. -Dave.

Oh. Oh, you're kidding.

-[Dave] Oh, it's not. -Oh.

[thumping]

Oh, he's back!

And he's brought all his mates with him.

Where's the bloody broom?

No, you're not using the broom.

Forget the broom! Just get the trap!

Whatever happened to live and--

You say live and let live and I'll shove the broom

-right up your-- -Trap!

-I'll get the trap. -[Julie] Thanks.

No, not the trap. Grandad, please!

It's only an innocent possum!

[Julie] Co-existing with possums is one thing.

Getting along with people

has a whole different set of rules

with much less obvious traps.

But he's saying it's just an interview

like there's no promises or anything.

Mmm. Well, you just make sure you don't stuff it up.

You turn up on time, you tell him everything

that he wants to hear

because this is an opportunity for you.

-You need this job. -Yeah, I know.

It's an opportunity and if you do get in there,

you make sure you keep your eyes wide open.

Yeah, I know, Grandad. You've told me.

Mmm.
