Original subtitles

[Nathan] Don't judge a book by its cover.

If it's such great advice,

how come we hardly ever follow it?

"Yes, always," she replied.

And if this was classic chick-lit,

how come I was actually getting into it?

"It is particularly incumbent on those

who never change their opinion,

to be secure of judging properly at first."

I think that means if you're gonna judge someone,

get your facts right.

Ooh, Pride and Prejudice. Who would've thought?

-Yeah, um, Ruby's loving it. -Mm.

It might just be the sound of your voice, mate.

-Yeah. How was dinner? -Fantastic.

Oh, thanks for taking care of her.

Oh, no worries at all.

Says she, who's been on the phone for hours.

Um, Jake, Mum and Dad are home,

-so I'm gonna come over now. -Good feed?

Don't worry, I kept things on track here.

Says he, who's been in his room all night.

Supervision, mate.

Never underestimate

the power of experience in this baby caper.

Okay, well, thank you all for taking care of her.

-[Rachel] Any time. -[Ted] A pleasure.

Hey, Mum, do you reckon I could borrow this?

It's... It's not bad once you get into it.

[Dave] Yeah, a bit like that restaurant.

I always thought it was a bit of a dump on the outside.

Mm. Yes, well, never assume.

To assume is to make an ass out of you and me.

Isn't it, darling? Yes, it is.

Yes, it is. Come on, bubba.

[Nathan] Mum and Jane Austen were right.

And I wasn't the only one learning

a valuable lesson about assumptions.

It's gotta be diamonds, right?

-Sorry? -Engagement rings.

There's so many choices.

You know, diamonds aren't color.

You know what colors mean to Retta.

Ruby maybe. Red means passion.

Passion sounds good.

Oh, but maybe blue will be better?

Oh, blue tanzanite from Africa, semi-precious.

Semi-precious...

[Carbo] Right. It's gotta diamonds.

Girls love diamonds.

[Ben] Nathan, have you got a second?

Yeah, sure.

I thought we were on the same page here?

Ah, Carbo can make his own decisions.

-He's a big boy. -He's known Retta for a month.

Yeah, and he is going to propose to her

whether we like it or not.

We might as well support him.

I actually think he loves her.

If they hadn't made that stupid pledge,

Carbo wouldn't be rushing her down the aisle.

No, we can't assume that.

Maybe saving themselves

for their wedding night's kind of romantic.

Not if it's driving Carbo insane.

-And me. -It's none of our business.

Even if we think Retta's wrong for him?

And she's turning our mate into something he's not.

[Nathan] Maybe the...

She can be a bit controlling

with the whole color thing.

I'm thinking everything.

You can't talk him out of it.

I can try.

Come on, slacker!

Job's waiting!

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

You're a hard man to get hold of.

Yeah.

Uh, I'm sorry about that.

Didn't you get my messages?

Yeah, I've just been really busy with work.

[Tom] You know, if I was paranoid, I...

I'd think you were trying to avoid me.

Look, I... I... I've really gotta go.

-I'll call you later, yeah? -Coby.

[hangs up]

-You took your time. -[Nathan] Sorry.

[Dave] Yeah, Ian, no worries. I'll, uh,

get back to you with some numbers later on today.

All right, mate. Thanks for the call.

Yeah, we'll speak soon. Cheers, mate.

That was a call for a new job. Big new job.

A whole set of units, needs a ground up reno.

-Great. -It's going to be worth a bit.

Yeah. Timing couldn't be more perfect, eh?

-That put a smile on his face. -Yes.

Oh.

Are you reading this?

Oh, yeah.

It's awesome. Well, the first four pages.

-Nice cover. -Yeah, not bad for a cartoon.

Well, it's a step up from Wink.

Yeah, well, Jake gave it to me.

There's a whole series of them.

Wow. Comics have changed a bit since I was a kid.

Ah, it's not a comic.

It's a graphic novel.

-What's the difference? -[Rachel] Graphic novels?

-Please. -Well, you haven't read it.

-What would you know? -Do I have to?

-They're good. -Right.

Vixen Supernova.

She sounds like a real mental worker.

She's a rocket scientist, I presume?

Well, I think you will find that

that is actually Princess Mink.

Oh, right.

And you would look hot in that outfit.

Yeah, that's not an outfit, it's a handkerchief.

Yeah. I'll see you tonight? You coming to mine?

-[phone ringing] -Uh, yeah, I'll let you know.

Oh, Liam. Yeah, hi.

-No, no, now's good. I... -[Jake] Let's go.

I was just leaving.

[Nathan] Unlike Jake, Rachel preferred to think

she and Liam were finally on the same page.

Power Up?

No, it's too much like what's already out there.

Um, Rush!

It kind of makes me think of Geoffrey.

I'm not sure aging actor says sports drink.

All right, well maybe power up isn't bad.

-No, you're just saying that. -No, no, I'm not.

Your ideas are just better than mine.

That's all.

What?

Is that the old Liam, or the new Liam talking?

Look, this is really working out, okay?

And I'm sorry for being such a prat.

-I just assumed that you-- -Hey, you know that old saying

about assumptions.

Okay, no, we've got to think positive.

We've got the rest of the day

to come up with something amazing.

True. All right, I'll get the coffees.

Great.

-[Ben] Oh, I just said... -[Melissa] Shut up!

[Ben] ...you looked voluptuous.

What's wrong with that?

I can't believe you just said that!

[Ben] You asked my opinion!

What was I supposed to do?

Just say what you wanted to hear?

Oh, my God, is that what you think?

I want everything my way?

[Ben] Is that what you think?

Well, that's what it sounds like!

Why do you have to make everything

such a massive drama?

Oh, what do you have to make everything about you?

Whoa! Hey! Back to your corners, okay?

-What's the deal? -Keep out of it, Carbo.

Yeah, this is between Ben and me.

No, no, hang on. Can't we just chill?

Look, I like living with you guys,

'cause you don't fight. So can we keep it that way?

Whatever.

You know, it's not all fun and games, Carbo.

What isn't?

Marriage.

[Carbo] Still, Benno,

you wouldn't give up Mel for anything in this world.

Love, eh? I suppose that's why

they write so many songs about it.

Well, that was a complete waste of time.

-He wasn't put off? -No. It's just round one.

-We're not done yet. -Yeah, but he's right, though.

-We're not big arguers. -Yeah.

When was the last fight we even had?

Um, the hot air balloon, when we got lost.

[laughs] That wasn't a fight.

Oh, yeah, you did get a bit snaky.

I did not.

Yeah, when I didn't ask for directions.

-I did not. -You so did.

Oh, why would I?

You were trying to surprise me.

Ah, if you were embarrassed--

I wasn't embarrassed.

I just wanted to--

What, be perfect?

-In control? -To get it right.

Oh, so you fantasizing a problem

and then freezing me out,

that would've been a great start to a surprise.

Oh, well, you not trusting me

and needing to know every little detail,

that's not great either, is it?

None of this even happened!

What are you talking about?

This is gold.

What?

We're wasting a perfectly good argument.

We should be saving this for Carbo.

Oh, you are insane.

But I love you. I've got to go.

-[Rachel] Hello? -[Jake] Hey.

[door closes]

I thought you were going to cancel on me.

I'm so sorry.

-Massive day. -Yeah, it sure was.

You must be exhausted?

No, actually I'm kind of buzzing.

Do you know, Liam apologized today?

Yeah, just out of the blue.

Well, do you think he meant it?

Oh, come on. He made a mistake, Jake.

You've got to give people a chance.

-Well, I gave him one. -So what now,

you're just going to write him off forever?

-Just like that? -Well, you don't think

it was one of his games?

No, I think he's realized he actually needs me

as a boss and a work colleague.

Okay, okay, I don't want to fight about Liam.

No, you're right. No work talk tonight.

Uh, or tomorrow night.

Why? You got something special planned?

Well, it's Friday.

I thought you, me,

and that seafood restaurant down by the harbor

you've been going on about.

The one with the really intimidating waiting list?

I don't think we'll get in, baby.

Taken care of.

What?

We're in.

-No, we are not. Really? -Yeah.

Ah! I love you!

-You are awesome! -Yeah.

I know, I know, I know.

-One condition-- -No work talk.

Cross my heart. Wouldn't dream of it.

I still think you're wrong about Liam though.

-Oh... -No, you can't

judge a book by its cover.

But you judge my books by their covers.

Yeah, they're not really books, they're comics.

Graphic novels.

Whatever.

Sorry. [laughs]

I'm out and so is the fridge.

Is that a subtle hint for me to get more beer?

-Don't know. What's subtle? -Give it here.

-You're a champ. You're a gem. -Yew!

-You're a-- -[cell phone ringing]

Grandad, hi.

I don't like waiting around very much, Coby.

Or people hanging up on me.

Yeah, I am sorry. I was going to call you.

-I forgot. -[Tom] Bull.

This is about that business from last week.

No, I'm good. Everything's good.

Well, I hope so, 'cause I've been thinking, son.

We don't get to see enough of each other, you and me.

I mean, how can we,

with you out there and me in here?

But that doesn't mean I can't look out for you.

I've got plenty of mates on the outside

who would be only too happy to see you right.

Yeah, I've got to go.

Have you got wax in your ears, son?

Bye.

Are you listening to me?

-[hangs up] -Coby!

-Hey. Was that Tom again? -Yeah.

It's a bit late for a prison phone call, isn't it?

-Yeah. -All good?

Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?

-Cheers. Cheers. -This has got to be

the last one though, 'cause got to be back before curfew.

What, there's a curfew at this place?

Mm. Door's locked at 10:30.

What? That's stupid.

They can't lock you out of your own home.

It's their place, their rules, mate.

Oh. Do you at least get your own room?

Yeah, most of the time. I mean, if it gets too crowded,

then I've got to share with blokes,

but most of the blokes there are pretty nice

except for the junkies.

The junkies?

Coby, you've got to find somewhere proper to live.

Well, it is proper.

Lots of people live in hostels.

Yeah, or junkies and losers.

Just 'cause I don't have any money

doesn't make me a loser.

No, no, no, no, that's not what I meant.

I'm just saying you could do better.

You can't stop acting like a big shot, can you?

No, I just meant that

you shouldn't have to live like that.

I can help you find somewhere else.

I am not a charity case!

-I know. -I'm going.

No, Coby, Coby, that came out wrong.

I'm sorry. I...

[Coby] Listen, I stand on my own two feet.

I am paying my own rent and I'm living further

than ten feet away from my old folks.

Try it one time, then tell me how easy it is.

[Nathan] Jane Austen was onto something.

If you're going to judge someone, get it right.

Better still, keep it to yourself.

[Carbo] In the end, it was obvious.

It had to be diamonds.

All the colors of the spectrum.

Oh, it's beautiful. She'll love it.

-One carat. -One carat.

It looks like a cauliflower.

So, this is the ring? Nice.

It must've cost a bomb.

Oh, well, what's money when it comes to love?

Yeah, right. But seriously mate,

how did you pay for it?

No sense of romance.

I don't how you put up with it.

When are you going to pop the question?

And just as importantly, where?

[Carbo] Well, I have a few things in mind.

It's all under control.

I'm going to ask her tomorrow.

-Tomorrow? -Yeah. Why wait?

I was thinking somewhere near the water.

Maybe Bondi?

It'd work for me.

Look mate, this isn't something

you should rush into.

Once you get married, that's it.

You'll never be free to do what you want ever again.

Yeah, yeah.

Really?

Well, I didn't mean us, obviously.

It sounded like you meant all marriages.

No, I didn't. I meant Carbo and Retta.

Well, Carbo's already bought the ring

and he's proposing tomorrow, so I think we might have to

-accept defeat on this one. -No, we can't.

We've got one day to stop him from ruining his life.

Ruining his life?

You know what I mean.

No, no, did you read the part where the, um...

The main dude sees the warrior princess

swimming naked in the underground--

Sirielle? Now, that's one hot princess,

-let me tell you. -Hot. Mate, she is the hottest

living being in seven galaxies.

What are you guys talking about?

Oh, it's these graphic novels Jake got me onto.

-They're tops, eh. -Graphic novels?

What, like comics?

-No. -No.

[Nathan] Sorry. Carbo trouble.

That's five minutes off your pay.

Don't listen to him.

Did you get home in time?

Yeah. I even got the room to myself.

Good.

Look, if I was a bit of a tool last night...

Just last night?

Any time. If I've ever been a tool...

A major tool.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Okay.

Don't sweat it.

Cool.

Do you want to maybe grab a beer after work somewhere?

-Ah, where were you thinking? -I don't know.

We could go to the local or we could go to--

[Coby] Oh no, no, no, no, no, no.

Can we go to the Cross? I've never been there.

You want to go to the Cross?

Okay, yeah, I know a couple of cool bars.

Oh, well, I'll fit right in then.

-Your round first, eh? -[Nathan] Yeah, all right.

-All right. -Uh,

if you don't want to get arrested,

we might have to get rid of your, uh, rat's tail.

-Brenton. You're funny. -Yeah, Brenton, that's right.

-Just give it a little snip. -Don't even joke.

-Okay. Just kidding. -[Coby] Don't...

No work today?

No, too much to organize.

This is about proposing to Retta, right?

Yeah, got it in one, mate.

Got to get to the dry cleaners,

-get my hair done... -Back waxed.

You know, I've been getting a lot of negative vibes

-from you lately. -I already told you.

I think you're moving too fast.

No, you just don't like her.

You won't even give her a chance.

So come on, Benno, to my face.

What's the problem?

I don't know her that well and neither do you.

You don't know what you're getting yourself into.

Yeah, mate, I do.

Marriage, kids, me and Retta forever.

Forever, exactly.

Marriage is for life. Once you do it,

-everything changes. -Like how?

[Ben] Well, you won't get to see your friends.

You can forget about going to the footy.

Weekends are all about shopping for matching towels.

Really? It's that bad and you still put up with it?

-No, Mel-- -I had no idea

-it was such a trial. -You know what I mean.

I've got to get to work.

Good luck with everything today.

-Thanks, Mel. -Mel, wait...

You haven't got a clue, mate.

[sighs in exasperation]

Mav, the sports drink for Mavericks everywhere.

Finally, we are getting somewhere.

-Yes! -Good, okay, but the clients

are expecting a full mark up on Monday.

Yes, you're right, they are,

so I hate to do this,

but we are going to have to work this weekend.

Well, can't we just push through until it's done?

Oh, um, no, I... I have dinner with Jake

and I really, really, really, really can't cancel.

But what about first thing tomorrow morning?

Uh, right, a bit awkward.

I'm booked to go to Melbourne.

Um...

No, no, but that's okay. We need to lock this in,

so I'll just call and cancel.

No, no, that isn't fair.

Well then, you go to dinner, I'll stay here,

pray for a miracle and whatever I come up with,

-I'll email you. -No, no, that's not...

We are a team and I'm the team leader.

[sighs] I'm going to have to call Jake

and break the bad news to him.

Oh, well, that's not fair.

It's fine, I... I won't be able to concentrate

with this hanging over my head anyway.

Okay, well, thanks, boss. I appreciate it.

Can you just give me a second?

Sure. More coffee?

Yes, please. Thank you.

This one looks good. Is it done?

You just got it out of the dry cleaner's bag.

It was spotless to begin with.

Mel, this is the most important night of my life.

Yeah, relax. You look great

and it's going to be fine.

Got the ring? Yep.

I've never been this nervous. Ever.

Not even the last time you proposed?

-Ben. -That was spur of the moment.

This one, I've had time to build up to.

You've built it up all right.

Ignore him. You look great, Carbo.

Thanks, Natho.

-See you guys later. -See you.

Hey, relax. She's going to say yes.

[Nathan] Carbo, Retta's here.

-What? -[Retta] Bye, Nathan, bye.

-Oh, hi. How is everyone? -Hey.

-Hello, gorgeous. Look at you. -Hey, what's happening?

I thought I was picking you up?

I know, but it suddenly hit me

that I'm always around here

and I've never done anything to repay you.

So tonight, I'm cooking.

Ah, hey, I booked a restaurant.

Well, we can do that some other night.

Or you can cook some other night.

But I got fish. It has to be eaten fresh.

Fish.

Actually, uh, we were just heading out.

Weren't we, Ben? We're running late.

-We are? -Yes.

We have a party, a work thing.

Oh, I, um... I should have checked.

Are you going like that?

Yes, yeah, it's a...

it's a pajama party. It's crazy, huh?

-Uh, crazy. -That's crazy.

Oh, well, it sounds like fun.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay, well, uh, have a good night.

Uh, I'm sure you will. And, uh, we'll see you soon.

-Bye. -[Carbo] See you.

-[Retta] Bye. -See you.

Well, they couldn't get out of here fast enough.

Well, they had to get to a party.

You're covering for them, I can tell.

No, I just think they didn't want to get in our way.

Well, at least you're crazy about me.

Of course I am.

Are you sure you wouldn't rather eat out?

No, no, what can we do at some restaurant

that we can't do here?

[Rachel] I am so, so sorry, honey.

I really didn't want to cancel and the last thing I wanted

was you coming all the way down here.

Well, I got your message on the train,

so it was too late.

The restaurant wasn't too happy.

-I'm so sorry. -But then I thought,

hey, you've got to eat, right?

That is so sweet.

You are amazing, but Jake, I told you

we've really got to get this pitch done.

Yeah, I get that. Eat with me.

Half an hour and I'm out of your hair.

-Jake, hi. -Liam.

-Hi. -[Rachel] Um, Jake was just

bringing me something to eat.

Wow. Brownie points for you, huh?

Yeah, well, there's probably enough for three,

depending on how hungry you are.

Oh, ah, that'd be great, thanks.

It's no drama.

Ah, I reckon we got off to a shaky start.

I figured we could put it behind us.

[Liam] Done.

-One condition-- -No work talk.

We wouldn't dream of it.

-Come on. -Right. Let's eat.

Okay, let's stay away from the main strip.

All the best clubs are in the side streets.

Uh-uh. No, no, no, no, no, no,

let's stay in main event. Right?

It looks like some pretty hot girls

work inside those places.

Yeah, I wouldn't be too convinced

by the posters out the front.

Oh. What about that one?

-That looks good. -Okay, let's make a deal.

Any club with the word pussy cat,

kitten or pink in its name is off the list.

[Coby] Mate, can't read, so I'm going to have to go

with my gut on this one.

Hello, gorgeous.

You up for a good night?

[man's voice] Sugar, with me, it's always big.

Well, I am Coby.

-This is Nathan. -Petra.

Um, hi, ah, we've actually got some other people to meet.

-Um, oh, yes, we do. -No, no, we don't.

Have fun, boys. Catch you later.

[Nathan] Bye.

-She's hot. -She's a man.

-Bull. -No bull.

She's wearing a dress.

Ah, I guess it's just the way it is.

Come on.

It seems like in the big city,

Oh, I don't really want people like that in my life.

Oh, mate, got to get the ink out.

[Nathan] If you say so.

She seems to like the look of them.

[Nathan] I think you're right.

Oh, she's coming over.

-Ooh, good shot. -Thanks.

Yeah, you want a game?

-I think you'd whip my butt. -I'm sure I would.

-You want to play pool first? -[laughs]

I'm Coby.

-This is Nathan. -Hey.

-Laura. -[Nathan] Hi.

So what are you boys drinking?

-[Coby] Ah, well... -Um...

-We were on the beers. -[Nathan] Yep.

But, uh, I think it's about time to move on, Nathan?

-Yeah. -Cocktail?

-I'm buying. -[Coby] Sure, you're on.

-Sounds good. -Don't go away.

Hot and likes to flash the cash.

And definitely the female of the species.

-She likes you. -Yeah?

[Nathan] Yeah.

[Ben] Where are they?

[Melissa] Well, they can't be that far away.

They've probably just gone to the shops.

Oh, they never go out.

I'd call them, but my phone is with my keys next door.

I'm starving.

I wish we brought the popcorn.

I'm freezing. Bloody Carbo

and his stupid proposal to stupid Retta.

Blaming them's not really going to help.

[sighs] You're right.

There must be a way in the window or something.

-Hey, don't break anything. -Yeah, no, I won't.

I'll just jimmy the bathroom window.

Sports drinks have been done to death, Rachel.

No. There's always a new angle.

We just have to find it.

Preferably before midnight.

Jake, honey, I told you we're going to be here all night.

Mm.

Look, uh, I might have an idea.

It's pretty out there but, uh, who knows.

We may be able to wrap this up now.

It's okay, babe. We get paid to do this stuff.

-You don't have to. -[Liam] Well, hang on,

Jake's the target demographic.

Maybe we should hear him out.

Okay.

I've been reading these books lately.

-They're graphic novels. -Jake, ah--

Well, the drink's name's Mav, right?

That could be a bloke's name. Or a planet.

-A planet? -Yeah, I'm thinking, you know,

-Avatar meets 10,000 B.C. -Sci-fi fantasy.

[Jake] Yeah. So the main dude's name is Mav

and he's kind of like this Stone Age warrior.

And after fighting to rescue the chief's hot daughter,

he gets to cool down with a cool drink.

Which'd be the sports drink, right?

-Mmm-hmm. -Yeah, that is way over

our budget, and I'm not really sure

it's the image the client's looking for.

Well, you want to sell to sportsmen and tradies.

That's me. And I'd love it.

And I've been around ads enough to know,

-you know, how it works. -Of course.

You were the face of the Rampant campaign.

[Jake laughs] Yeah, yeah, it didn't really work out.

It's not really my style.

Um, well, we better press on,

but thank you so much for bringing us dinner, darling.

-I really appreciated it. -All right.

You don't want me to hang about and drive home with you?

[Rachel] No, I would love that, but like I said,

I think we're going to be here super late, so...

Oh, you didn't drive, Jake?

No, Jake's not really driving at the moment.

Oh, did you... Did you lose your license?

-Yeah. -No, you didn't.

-Rachel... -Oh, it's none of my business,

you know, speeding, drink driving,

-whatever. -Oh, no.

Oh, it was nothing like that. Gosh, no, no.

It's... It's just a medical thing.

-Oh... -Oh, I'm so sorry.

-Are you okay? -Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, it's nothing.

Jake, don't be ridiculous. You are fine.

Epilepsy is not life threatening.

It's completely treatable,

and it just means he can't drive at the moment,

-that's all. -Right.

I'll leave you to it.

Um, Jake?

Jake, wait.

Jake!

Oh, come on, please wait.

What... What were you thinking?

What? Why is it such a big deal?

-Who cares if Liam knows? -I do!

Liam is the last person on earth

-I want knowing my business. -But I...

I thought you two were getting on.

I was making an effort for you.

You don't have a clue, Rachel.

Okay, at least let me drive you home, okay?

No, I thought you were here all night.

I'll catch a train.

[alarm blaring]

[Ben] Oh, where the hell have you been?

What's going on? What's happening?

-Long story. -We can't go home.

And since when do you have an alarm?

-Since always. -Yeah, but we never put it on.

Well, now after the robberies at your dad's work,

-we thought it was safer. -Oh.

Yeah, but why are you breaking in anyway?

-You've got keys. -Oh, sorry.

We had to leave the house in a hurry.

We don't have a phone or keys or anything.

-Why? What's going on? -Carbo's proposing to Retta.

-What? -Who?

Can we just go inside, please? I'm starving.

Oh.

[Ben] God, we've been freezing.

-Who's Retta? -[Retta] Well, thank God

that alarm finally stopped.

What alarm?

Um, if we're going to have another glass,

you might need to open that.

Yeah, sure.

Are you okay?

-Yeah. -I'm great.

That fish was awesome.

It's them, isn't it?

Ben and Melissa?

What is?

I know they're not going to a party.

-Well, of course they are. -Oh, come on.

The DVDs, the PJs,

the half-eaten bowl of popcorn.

-Look it's-- -All the classic hallmarks

-of a night in. -It's not what you think.

It must be hard for you.

I can see that you're caught between your friends and me.

No, they only left because they knew

I wanted to be alone with you.

We were going to dinner, remember?

Oh, so I messed things up?

No, no. Look, it's fine.

We're alone now and that's the main thing.

Carbo, it's the story of my life.

I know how chatty I can be sometimes

and I know that I rub people up the wrong way and...

and that's fine.

We can't all like each other the whole time,

but it's important that I get along

with your friends as well.

Look, forget them, okay?

Just...

I've got something I want to ask you.

[dramatic music playing]

More wine?

Okay.

[upbeat music playing]

[Laura] More drinks.

[laughs]

[Nathan] Ah, more drinks?

-You're an idiot. -[Coby] No.

I just know how to enjoy myself.

-[Laura] I can tell. -[Nathan] Thank you.

You have to let us pay for these ones though.

[Laura] No, my shout. Enjoy.

-[Nathan] Cheers. -Cheers.

Cheers.

-Mm. -Mm.

-I like your tats. -Who did them?

I have no idea.

I was smashed.

Have you got any?

Yeah. I sure do.

Where?

If you're lucky, I'll show you.

I like the sound of that.

Me, too.

[laughs]

You got any ink work, Nath?

No, no, I'm a clean skin.

Oh, well, the night's barely started.

-Mm, maybe. -[Laura] Ooh.

You want to kick on after the next round?

-You're on. -Where to?

I don't know. We'll think of somewhere.

Sounds good.

All right.

I will be right back. Do not leave without me.

I would never do such a thing.

Dude, she... she is so onto me.

Oi, we have so much in common.

-Tattoos? -No, more than tattoos.

Ah, you both want a one night stand?

Okay, jealous. We'll find you someone, too.

-I'm not looking for anything. -No, no, no.

We will find you someone

and we will find you someone hot,

because this is the Cross and it rocks.

So give me a cheers and be somebody!

-Okay. -[Coby] Woo!

-Oh! -[Nathan] Ah!

Retta's car's still in the driveway.

[Melissa] That's got to be good news.

Maybe he hasn't proposed yet.

No, he must've. It's been hours.

-I think I should call him. -No, no,

what if he's in the middle of proposing right now?

Oh, I'm exhausted. I want to go to bed.

Night. The alarm's off,

in case you're thinking of going somewhere.

[Ben] Hilarious, Dad.

Night, Dave.

No, we can't interrupt them.

So we'll just stay here.

Where?

Rachel's at Jake's.

Maybe we could use her room?

Oh, gross.

I don't want to sleep in my sister's bed.

Oh, why not? It's just a bed.

No, I think I should call him.

No, no, he'll get in touch if he needs us.

And I think you need to stop obsessing about this.

It's getting really weird.

Didn't I tell you?

Better than any restaurant.

It was perfect. You're perfect.

Well, tonight can be like a practice run.

I won't have to ask where everything is next time.

I've got something to ask you.

And I've been thinking about this for days.

It's all I can think about.

-Loretta-- -Wait, stop.

I know what you're doing.

No, you don't.

You're down on one knee.

Look, you've got to let me do this.

Look, I've got it all worked out.

-Carbo, you don't have to. -Look, I want to.

Wait, are you knocking me back?

No, no. God, no.

Then why...

Because the fact that you want to propose,

that you were prepared to wait...

I guess...

I guess I always knew that you weren't like other guys.

I was just scared.

Right.

Great.

So...

So you've shown

that you'd do anything for me.

I would. You know I would.

You know what I really want?

I want to forget our stupid agreement and love you.

I want to make love to you.

-You do? -Mmm-hmm.

-[Coby] Oh!. -[Nathan] Oh!

Could this night get any better?

-[Nathan] No. -So how good is Laura?

-Yeah. -How awesome is Laura?

Yeah, yeah.

[tires screeching]

-[Coby] Is that-- -Oh, my God.

-A Porsche. -[Coby] She must be loaded.

[Nathan] It must be her sugar daddy's.

Sorry about the car. My dad's.

Do not ever be sorry about a car like...

Look at the leather seats.

It might be a bit of a squeeze,

but I'm game if you are.

Um, look, you go.

I'm... I'm... I'm going to call it a night.

What? It's a party!

Yeah, but three might be a crowd.

I'm just... I'm not really up for it.

Come on, guys. I can't stop here.

Look, I'm... I'm... I'm going to head home,

but it was really nice to meet you.

Oh. You're not wussing out, too, are you, Coby?

-No. No. -No, no, definitely not.

-Get in there. -[Coby] No.

[Nathan] Have a good time.

Not too much of a good time. Got an early start tomorrow.

-I'll be there good as gold. -[Nathan] All right.

[Coby] Hey, it looks like your luck's in, too, mate!

[Nathan] What?

All alone, darling?

Oh...

[singer] ♪ Yes, sir ♪

[Coby] Oh, sorry. Sorry.

Maybe we should push the seats back.

[Coby] Yep. [whistles]

That looks exy.

Don't get too excited.

-My dad's got about ten. -[Coby] Oh.

Sorry, these... these are worth a bit.

I just... I don't want to wreck it.

Take it.

-Huh? -[Laura] Here.

He won't miss it. Seriously.

If he does, he'll just think he left it somewhere.

-Squash club somewhere. -Yeah.

Your dad's not a drug dealer, eh?

Why would he be a drug dealer?

No reason. I just...

He's a surgeon.

-He earns more money than God. -So, I'm not going to get

stabbed in the guts for nicking--

Shut up and kiss me.

[door closes]

Hey, there.

What's happening? Did you have a good night?

-Yeah, it was fine. -[Carbo] Mm.

Are you okay?

Yeah, buddy, all good in Carbo world.

I'm sorry. She turned you down?

Oh, no way, no. Retta didn't turn me down.

Oh, well, that's terrific. Congratulations.

[Carbo] No, I didn't even get to propose at all.

No, she was onto me and said I didn't have to.

What does that mean?

It means I got the green light.

You got the...

So there's no wedding, but there is action?

-Is that what you're saying? -Pretty much, yep.

Cool, um, so why are you sitting down here all alone?

I had to get a glass of water.

It's never happened before.

She took off her jumper and that was it.

All over red rover.

-Oh. Oh, right. -Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, well, I guess after so much build up just...

-[makes sound] -Yeah. Ever happened to you?

Uh-uh.

-I'd lie, too. -No, it hasn't.

It's killing me, mate.

I mean, this is my future wife.

She deserves fireworks.

But, fireworks have gone off already.

Oh, Carbo, you're putting too much pressure on yourself.

-You've got to relax. -It's easier said than done.

-Oh. -Oh, hi, Nathan.

-Good night? -Yeah, it was great.

I'm so tired now.

I was just heading to bed.

Um, so I'll say goodnight to you.

Goodnight.

You okay?

It's okay.

I understand.

I just wanted this to be special.

Hey, it will be.

You do know I want to marry you one day?

You're amazing.

All yours.

All of me.

From now to forever.

I think we better go back upstairs.

[door closes]

You weren't answering your phone.

I turned it off.

Right, so you don't want me here?

I just don't want to do this now.

I was about to go to bed.

Right. What I want doesn't matter.

[sighs] All I do...

is try and give you what you want.

And as a payback, I get treated like dirt.

You are over reacting.

You know, you are unbelievable.

You blab something totally private

and now you're acting like I'm in the wrong.

Jake, how was I supposed to know

that that was a giant secret?

I shouldn't have to tell you!

Look... epilepsy,

it's nothing for you to be ashamed of, okay?

It's... Unlike drink driving. or speeding--

Look, I don't give a stuff what Liam thinks of me.

The fact is you opened your big mouth without thinking.

Right, so this has nothing at all to do

with you wanting to be big and indestructible?

-What? -Well, face it.

You think epilepsy is some kind of weakness.

Don't tell me what I think.

Okay fine, fine.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry if I hurt you.

So you admit you were wrong?

-No. -Oh...

No! No, I was trying to protect you!

Yeah, typical. Typical.

You expect me to do

whatever you want me to do and...

-No-- -...to act the way

-you want me to act-- -What? What?

-Where did that come from? -You've got to face it.

You are such a spoiled brat!

You're just too used to getting your own way!

Where do you think you're going?

-You are not driving. -Don't tell me what to do.

Oh. If you get in that car,

I will not be here when you get back.

Yeah, well, I didn't ask you to come over

-in the first place. -[door opens and closes]

[Rachel] Oh! What are you doing in my bed?

[Melissa] Oh, sorry, Rach. We thought you were at Jake's.

-We got kicked out of home. -Okay, well,

you know what, I need my room, so get out.

Oh, um, sorry. What happened?

Did you guys have a fight or something?

Yep. It was the worst fight we've ever had.

Oh, sorry, that's awful.

Yeah, it's totally crap. I'm such an idiot,

and I'm probably just being stupid, so--

Sorry. We'll get out of your way.

Oh, unless you want to sit up and talk?

No, no, you guys go.

I just want to go to bed

and for the night to be over.

Yeah, I know how you feel. Come on, Mel.

-Sorry, Rach. -Sorry, Rach.

It'll be all right.

[sobbing]

[engine revving on TV]

-You're up late. -Tried sleeping.

-It didn't work. -Do you have to have it up

-so loud? -[Nathan] Yes!

Have you seen Carbo and Retta?

Yes, I've seen them and heard them.

-That's why I'm down here. -What?

[Retta] Oh, yes!

[Ben] Oh God, turn it up! Turn it up!

[Melissa] Oh, God,

so I'm guessing they're engaged?

No, but somehow we ended up with that.

-[Retta moans loudly] -Oh, that's great.

You didn't want them engaged.

Yeah, but I didn't want that either.

Ben, are you having trouble sharing friends?

No!

You are being very weird about this.

[Nathan] Don't want him to get laid,

don't want him to get married.

Do you want him all to yourself?

You're going to have to let it go.

We can't control who Carbo falls in love with.

Do you really think he's in love?

[Retta moaning]

[Ben] Oh, can you make another pot?

No, sorry, I've got to go in a minute.

I'm going to need a second cup just to make it to the shower.

Oh, last night was insane.

Did you catch the dawn show?

[Carbo] Ah, morning.

What a beautiful day, eh?

Yeah. Hey, you guys look pretty tired.

Must've been a... a great party?

-Oh, yes. -[Retta] It's okay.

I know there... there wasn't a party.

You just wanted to give us some space.

All right, busted. We went next door,

but only because we knew Carbo wanted you all to himself.

See? I told you they were thinking about us.

Yes, they were.

[laughter]

Ah, is... is... is that funny?

Yes.

Yes.

[gasps]

Oh, no, you didn't...

You didn't hear...

-Yes. -Yes.

-Yes! -Yes!

-Yes! Oh! -Yes!

Oh, God, this... This happens...

This happens to me all the time.

[Carbo] All the time? Seriously?

Oh, I thought you said I was special?

Oh, no, you are. You are amazing.

Last night you did things to--

Okay, that's it, I've got to go.

-I'll see you guys later. -[Retta] Oh, ah, too...

Too much information. I'm doing...

I'm doing it again. I'm so sorry.

It's okay. Ben and I are really happy for you both.

Aren't we, Ben?

Yes.

Yes! Yes!

[laughs]

[groans] Butter is so stupid!

Everything all right, darling?

Do we have any margarine?

Right here.

[Rachel] Thank you.

-Ah, morning all. -Hey.

Dad, is it okay to grab a lift with you?

Coby hasn't shown. I think he might be

-running a little bit late. -[Dave] Okay.

Cool. Oh, um, Jake called

and said he'd make his own way to the site.

Oh, typical.

Are Rach and Jake fighting?

It looks that way, doesn't it?

-Yeah. -[Julie] Mm.

Jake, I don't know why I care,

but if you are driving to work

then you are an idiot.

And we are over.

Okay, I mean it. I'm serious.

I'm not going to be treated like this.

Goodbye.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

What are you doing here anyway?

-I'm picking you up. -Yeah, well, you're late

and I'm going to get a lift with Dad, so...

Sorry man, a big night.

I haven't slept a wink, eh.

I have not. Oh, check this out.

What the hell...

Is that real?

-[Coby] Yeah. -Where'd you get it from?

Laura. It was in her glove box.

Her dad's got heaps of them she reckons.

-And you're going to keep it? -Would you knock it back?

-No. -Did you go back to her place?

-Nope. -Pulled over in a side street

-and it was on. -In the Cross?

Mate, she's... she's nuts.

-Yeah? -She is... She is nuts.

You know what they say about the crazy ones?

Goes off like a frog in a sock.

Oh, way too much information everywhere this morning.

Come on. I'll get you a bacon and egg roll.

-Yeah? -Grab your stuff.

So, how about you and Laura?

Will there be a round two?

Well, I've got her number,

so I'll see how the moods strikes me later.

-[laughs] -How was Petra?

Um, disappointed.

-It was you she wanted. -Yeah, right.

No, seriously, she likes you.

I'd expect a phone call.

You said you wanted a Kings Cross experience.

[laughs] You bastard.

Yeah.

No, but we have to hit up the Cross again sometime.

That was the best night ever.

-[truck engine starts] -Seriously.

[Nathan] It turns out being wrong about Jane Austen

was nothing compared to being wrong about Coby.

Suddenly, he was more than my cousin.

He was my friend.
