[Julie] They say every ending is a new beginning.

But sometimes I think that's just a nice way

to soften the blow.

You know it's still going to be a bill,

even if you don't open it.

It's from the romance publishers.

Well, come on, open it. It could be your big moment.

Mmm-hmm. Until now, I'm the up and coming writer

who's never been rejected. Once I rip this open,

I'm the useless writer who's only known failure.

Yeah, but what if it's a million dollar advance?

No, no. I'll look at it later.

-Okay, here, let me. -Ah, no, no, no,

there's more important things to do.

What more important than a million bucks?

Well, there's a party tomorrow to organize.

It's not a party. It's a gathering.

Well, it's a launch according to Nathan,

and I've seen your to-do list.

All right, all right.

[Julie]If this was a new beginning,

it could wait.

Dave on the other hand

was grabbing his with both hands.

[Dave] Okay. Um, Matt.

I've chased up who's coming,

-which is almost everyone. -Good.

And I spoke to the sign writer,

he's delivering first thing tomorrow morning.

He doesn't leave us much time, does it?

It shouldn't be a problem. It won't take us long

-to put up. -No I mean to change the sign.

Dad, how many times?

Rafter and Son sounds pretty good to me, don't you reckon?

Yeah. Yeah, if you can find a son who actually

sees his future as a sparkie.

Ah, never say never.

[Steve] Well, have a look at all this lot, will you?

Just thought I'd pop over and see how

-it was all coming along. -I take it those are shed

-warming presents? -Yeah, no harm in starting

the celebrations early. What do you reckon?

How are you, mate?

-Good mate, yourself? -[Steve] Yeah, good.

Now this must be the famous Matt Jennings, is it?

Uh...

[Matt] Steve Wilson.

I'm a massive fan, always have been.

Geez, I like this bloke already.

[Dave] Steve, this is Matt.

Ah, this is the half-brother,

and here's me thinking I was. Which half are you?

Anyway, Dave tells me you're going to play

tomorrow night I thought I might...

The good looking one.

[Steve] You're the what?

Anyway, I was just saying I thought I might pop along

and have a listen and...

Yeah, yeah, that'd be great.

Yeah, you could probably give that hand back sometime.

-Nathan. -[Nathan] Oi, Steve.

I've just got to chase up, um...

Doing a runner, are you?

-Eh? -No, yeah,

I guess I probably am.

You should have seen the look on your face.

-Sorry. -Come here.

I'm not here to take a piece out of you.

It's all in the past. It's no drama.

Yeah. Well, look at you, Mr. Big Shot.

Bigger business, bigger family.

I tell you if you could sing, you'd be perfect.

[Matt laughs]

[Steve] Going to give us a grand tour or what?

-It shouldn't take long. -[Coby] Yeah.

Yeah. I'll give you the grand tour right...

[laughs] Oh.

[Donna] So with the finger food,

I'll just bring it around

and you can heat it up as you go.

[Julie] Ah, sounds perfect.

This is a good trial run for you, you know.

You'll be celebrating your own success soon.

-Sorry? -Your book.

Savannah of the Manor or whatever it's called.

My chapter, you mean.

Got a letter from them today.

What'd they say?

Well, I haven't opened it.

I don't want it to be bad news.

Hmm, no one likes rejection.

No matter what form it comes in.

Oh, not that I'm saying it will be rejection.

Well, it very well could be.

Well, if you don't put yourself out there

in the first place,

then you'll never know what might have been.

Why do I get the feeling we're not talking

about my book anymore?

I've got a date tonight.

Well, I think I've got a date.

And you've been letting me go on about party pies?

Well, the whole thing's happened very suddenly,

I've got to say, and part of me thinks

I'm just being silly.

Why?

I'm not sure that it's appropriate.

[gasps] It's Dino, isn't it?

-From the fruit shop? -No, it's not.

Lovely as Dino is, it's not him.

-[phone ringing] -Oh.

Hello.

Oh, really?

Well, I'll be in there soon. Okay, bye.

Everything all right?

Yes, it's just Mrs. Montague

talking to the poker machines again.

Oh. Um, hey, with this mystery man,

if you like him, you should go for it.

Love should be encouraged wherever it blossoms.

[giggles] See? You are a writer.

-Oh. -[chuckles]

[Coby] Okay. I told you,

I did it, didn't I? I told you I did it.

Okay, okay, I never doubted you for a moment.

Yeah, that's why you were looking over my shoulder

-the whole time. -[phone ringing]

-Hmm. -Hey!

[Jake] What, don't tell me you washed them,

not after you shook hands with the great Steve Wilson.

Oh, so I like his music, so what?

[Coby] Did you see the way he was holding him?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, the good looking one.

Well, sorry for being impressed by a rock legend.

-Oh, legend. -Yeah, legend.

I just thought it was, you know, Steve Wilson.

[Dave] See you tomorrow night?

[Steve] Oh, try and keep me away, mate.

Good to meet you, boys.

Hey, Steve, do you know Matt gigs all around Sydney?

-Hey, not just here. -Oh, yeah?

Oh, it's just a few gigs here and there.

-Where do you play? -Oh, just the Legacy mostly.

Legacy? Geez, there's a blast from the past.

I used to play there when I was starting out.

Matt and I are going to belt out a few tunes

-tomorrow night. -[Steve] Oh, are you?

-Yeah. -Geez, Dave,

if you wanted real entertainment,

you should have given me a call.

[laughter]

Okay, so everything's under control?

Yes. No panic attacks required, I promise.

Oh, and, uh, Emma's offered to help serve drinks.

Although that might depend on how tonight goes.

'Cause if I stuff things up, she may never

-speak to me again. -Oh, darling, I'm sure

it'll be fine. Where are you taking her?

We're having dinner here. Carbo and Retta are still

on their honeymoon, so we'll have the place to ourselves.

Do you need a hand with the cooking?

No. I'm just throwing a chook in the oven.

Right. Well, if you get into trouble...

I know where to find you.

I'm happy for you darling.

Yeah, well, I had to learn to cook sometime.

[chuckles] It's a new beginning, that's all.

Yeah.

Oh, and remember just, um, shove a lemon up its bum

and you'll be fine.

Uh, you are talking about the chook, yeah?

Yes.

[upbeat music playing]

[Nathan] Hey, Steve.

Hey, um, look, I know you said

it's all in the past, but I just want to say

thank you.

Uh, what I did could have wrecked your friendship

with Dad.

Yeah, yeah, listen, I'm sure I'm not the first bloke

whose girlfriend did the dirty

and let's be honest,

I kind of deserved it.

You know what...

you and Layla getting together,

you kind of did me a favor. I mean, don't get me wrong,

I wouldn't wish that on anyone,

that's an awful way to go,

but ultimately Layla made her choices.

Steve, I don't know what you're talking about.

[dramatic music playing]

[Coby] Hey.

Dad. I'm finished.

-What? -I quit. I'm done.

I said I'd help you get this place up and running,

well, I have and now I'm out of here.

-What, just like that? -Yes.

Well, I know we had an agreement.

Yeah, we agreed, six months, that was it.

Yeah, so what brought this on now?

It's just what I have to do.

Natho, mate.

He was in a good mood all morning.

He never said anything about leaving.

Yeah, but, you know, we all knew he wasn't

going to stick around forever.

-[Coby] What? -[phone ringing]

-Who was that? -No one.

No one, as in a bank flogging insurance

or no one as in my mental sister?

-What? -Is she stalking you?

-No. -[Coby] Really?

-How many times? -What?

How many times has she called?

-Oh, I don't know. -Okay, we should change

the locks. Get a restraining order.

-See, that's not helping. -Well, you're lucky we don't

-have a bunny to boil. -No, no, no, you're blowing

-this out of proportion. -Listen, mate, listen,

listen, she's a nice girl and I can handle it.

Jake! Jake! You're going to have to start

taking me seriously, mate. The next time she calls

your phone or pounces on you in the toilet,

you tell her you are going to call the cops.

It is the only way. Trust me.

[Julie] Oh, clean shirt, Dad?

Don't get dressed up on our account. [laughs]

I told you I'm going to the Club.

Oh, that's right, so you did.

You know, Jules, there's just so long

you can keep on claiming baby brain.

Yes. Well, I intend to milk it till the very last second.

Thank you.

So, well, did he say anything?

[Ted] Hi, mate.

-Um, well, here he is. -Oh.

-Here I am. -Hey.

Hey. Dad told you I quit, I take it?

That's not exactly something that would slip my mind.

No.

I realize it's really sudden.

What happened to "never say never"?

From this morning, remember?

Okay. Um...

Look, Steve just told me that Layla died of a drug overdose.

Layla?

She's the girl you had the...

Yes, Mom, Layla.

The girl that was well pretty much responsible

for my marriage breaking up.

And I just can't believe it. I mean,

you know, I know she was wild, but she was so young

and she's dead.

And I can't help but thinking that that could have been me.

Yeah, but it wasn't. You got out of there.

No, I know.

It's just life's so short.

And it's been two years since I broke up with Sammy.

Do you know that's been two years?

And what have I been doing, I've been selling car parts

on Carbo's dining room table and digging trenches.

It's not what I want my life to be.

-Well-- -[Nathan] Please don't try

and talk it up, Mom.

I wasn't going to, darling.

[Nathan] I know I've said this before.

I don't know what I want.

I just know that I'm not going to find the answers

hanging around here.

[Julie] What Nathan wanted was a new beginning

and maybe he wasn't the only one.

So am I the husband of Australia's

next literary sensation?

It was a romance novel, darling.

Just a bit of fun.

I'm sorry.

No, it's fine.

I only did it to stop you teasing.

Oh, Jules.

I did actually start enjoying it though.

I can do this.

I owe you ten bucks.

Just put it on the tab.

[Julie] If a new beginning was what I'd hoped for,

this clearly wasn't it.

[whimsical music playing]

So where's the ice sculpture going to fit?

[doorbell ringing]

That'll be Emma. It's way too early.

-[Julie] Hey. -[Nathan] Oh, good one.

Ben, I thought you said you were cooking yourself.

Oh, no, I'm not here to be put to work. Napkin rings.

Oh, you are a lifesaver.

[Nathan] Napkin rings. How could she resist?

Oh, you know, you can't shove paper towel into them.

Didn't you say something about going out

for the rest of your life?

Yes, I get the hint.

I've got stuff to do in the shed.

Wow.

It's not too over the top, is it?

I mean, I'm not going to freak her out?

No, darling.

No girl's ever been put off by napkin rings

and matching china.

You know, I think Mel would have liked Emma

if they'd ever got to meet.

Although, if they did meet,

it would have been pretty awkward

and I wouldn't be going on a date with Emma anyway.

Unless of course Mel didn't know about it.

In which case Mel wouldn't have liked Emma much at all,

-I guess. -Darling,

I know what you mean.

And Mel would definitely want you to be happy.

Thank you.

I'll leave you to it.

Good luck.

Cheers.

Okay, I can't decide. 'Cause I kind of like this.

Oh, that one, definitely.

Check you out.

It's not too much, is it?

Mom, it's gorgeous.

I know I shouldn't have spent the money.

I don't even know if it's a proper date.

It will be once he sees you looking like this.

Whoever he is.

Well, I just want to see how tonight goes

before I say too much.

I don't want to jinx anything.

Well, if this guy doesn't snap you up immediately,

he's not worth worrying about.

Well, the same goes for Ben.

I'm sure it'll be a wonderful night,

no matter what you wear.

I hope so. For both of us.

[Ted] Well, look at you.

If I'd have known you were going to get all dolled up,

I would have made more of an effort.

Oh, Ted, I just threw on the first thing I could find.

Well, isn't this lovely.

Thank you so much for asking me.

Well, it's the least I could do

after all the help you've given me with Cooper.

Now how about a drink?

-Sauv blanc? -Yes.

[upbeat music playing]

Wow.

Too much? Too many candles. I can lose some, see.

-Uh, Ben... -No, no, no.

-Don't want a fire hazard. -It looks amazing.

Really, it does.

Yeah. I got... I got napkin rings.

I can see.

With real napkins.

Mmm-hmm. [giggles]

I might be a bit nervous.

Well, for the record,

I changed five times before I left the house.

Six. Yeah.

All right, every piece of clothing

I own is on my bed right now.

Okay. Here's what we're going to do.

Get plastered?

No. Not unless the food's really bad,

in which case we might have to.

But, uh, in the meantime, we're going to make a pact.

No more being nervous

and no more awkward small talk about anything.

Especially napkin rings.

I think we've already exhausted the topic.

Yeah.

-[laughs] -[knocking on door]

Oh, good. That'll be Bree in a wedding dress.

Oh, you're hilarious.

Mmm-hmm.

Well...

-Hey. -[Jake] Hey.

-[Coby] Oi! -Hey, look, I...

[Coby] No, out, out, out, out, out! Out, out...

-Coby. -No, no, no, no, no,

she's like a vampire. She can't come in

-if you don't invite her. -[Bree] Coby, can Jake and I

-have a minute, please? -What? No.

Uh, I'm not going to let you alone with him,

not without garlic and a wooden cross.

Coby, chill! Yes, come in.

Thank you.

No, I don't want you here.

And neither does Jake, right, Jake?

Is that true?

No. It's just...

What he's trying to say is you're a psycho.

-Oh, that's enough, mate. -[Coby] Yeah, no, it's true.

You keep banging on about how you are so much

better than Mom, but you are not.

You are exactly the same. These guys come into your life

and within this much time they cannot stand--

Coby, shut up!

I know you two have had your problems,

but you don't need to be so harsh.

Okay. Fine.

[sighs]

Look, you've got to stop all this.

You know, coming by and dropping over, it's...

I know I'm sorry.

I told you I don't do this. I'm just...

You should go.

You think it's true, don't you?

-What? -Everything that Coby says.

Right.

Bree, you're a great girl.

-And if things were-- -Different?

Yeah, but they're not, are they?

[dramatic music playing]

[Julie] Sometimes it feels like new beginnings

only happen to other people.

And you're just in the same old place.

Coby. Coby! It works.

Just leave it alone.

I cannot believe you're bailing.

Just something I have to do.

Well, that sucks.

But don't worry, Natho, you do what you have to do.

You take off and do what you have to.

Here.

-No. -It's from the great

Steve Wilson. You've got to drink it.

I can't believe he's coming tomorrow night

-to hear me play. -I know.

Yeah, should I get your autograph now

or wait till you winAustralia's Got Talent?

Well, just don't leave it too long,

you never know what could happen.

[Nathan] Now here's to that.

Matt, here's to the great unknown,

the, uh, the whatever happens next.

-So what is next? -[Nathan] Who knows?

That's the best part about it.

-The world is your oyster. -The world's my oyster.

Yeah, the first time I ever had oysters

I spewed my guts up all night.

I'm just saying, it happens.

And the moral of the story is?

Always keep your seafood in the fridge.

Yeah.

Oh, my God! That smells amazing.

I reckon 15 more minutes and we're done.

Hmm. You really are making the big effort here.

That's kind of the intention.

[Carbo] Hello, watch out, coming through.

[Emma] Oh, that's so romantic.

[Retta] Ow!

[Emma] Ooh, what happened to your ankle?

What happened to your honeymoon?

Well, let's just say there wasn't much honey.

Moon, on the other hand, no problem there.

There was plenty of moon.

Every time we left the room, moon.

At the pool, moon. During breakfast, moon.

-Breakfast? -[Retta] I'm not talking

about the moon in the sky.

I forgot.

Yes, the big surprise.

The most romantic honeymoon ever planned.

-It was schoolies. -Schoolies.

You went to the Gold Coast?

During schoolies?

-For your honeymoon? -I forgot!

What's with the candles?

Did someone forget to pay the electricity bill?

[mouths] It's a date.

-Oh! -You're on a date.

[Carbo] Ah, yeah, we'll go.

-Honey, get my crutches. -We'll get out of your hair.

It's okay, honestly. You both look exhausted.

Why don't you stay? Have dinner with us.

-No. -No.

Yeah.

I asked the staff to refill these every day.

You wouldn't think it was too much to ask.

By the look on his face,

I think he already knows he's in trouble.

And your glass isn't even clean.

Look, it's got grubby paw prints all over it.

Hey, hey, hey, they're probably mine.

It mightn't have been a good idea coming here.

It must feel like you never knock off work.

Oh, no, it's lovely. Really.

And I'm so thrilled that you asked me.

Like I said, it's the least I could do.

The pleasure's mine, really.

And just look at us.

A couple of friends happy to just sit down

and have a bit of a yarn and a glass of wine together.

Well, I enjoy your company immensely, Ted.

Which is why I'm hopeful that maybe one day

we could be even more than just friends.

So what really happened to your ankle, Retta?

-Don't ask. -[clears throat]

Yes, Emma, don't ask.

Just like I'm not meant to ask any questions either.

Particularly about why my husband

went missing for five hours.

[Carbo] I told you what happened.

Okay, besides all the rooms in that place looked the same.

I got lost.

Right. And then you ran into some...

-We're leaving. -Great. Where?

I've got a credit card and I know how to use it.

-Come on. -And pushed me down

-the hill to the golf course. -Uh-huh.

-Then you got your tattoo? -Yes. For you.

-For me, Ric? -Yes.

Oh, you see, I thought it had everything,

romance, intrigue, suspense.

Maybe too much Rita and Theo.

No, well, it was inspired by them, not word for word.

I was actually looking forward to writing the rest of it.

Well, why not if you enjoyed doing it.

Well, what's the point.

They've already told me I'm no good.

Well, write something else. Write something you know.

-[doorbell ringing] -That'll be Bree.

Chapter one, today, I went to the butcher

and got some chops.

Then on the way home I noticed the car was low on petrol.

That is riveting.

[Dave] That's great timing. Come on in, Bree.

Thanks for coming around so soon.

You got the check?

Uh, oh, it'll be in the shed.

Just... There's a cup of tea there if you want it.

Hey.

Have a seat.

Thanks.

How are you?

Fine.

Yeah.

Um, how's the prep going for the big party?

Oh, yeah, well, I think we'll all be glad

when that's over frankly.

Yeah.

You all right?

Yeah.

You sure?

It's complicated.

Oh. You having problems with Coby?

Not just Coby.

Oh, Jake?

Maybe.

Oh, is something going on with you two?

Yeah. It's, um...

-Maybe. It's... -[Dave] Okay.

Well, here's the, uh...

Here's the check.

If you could just drop it off tomorrow.

[Dave] The address is on the front.

Okay. Yup. Uh, thanks.

Hey, uh, look, with Jake, it's, uh,

it's nothing serious so, um...

What?

I mean, I shouldn't have said anything,

so honestly it's nothing.

-I'm an idiot, forget it. -Bye.

[Julie] Today might have been light on new beginnings,

but it was certainly a day of new developments.

Well, it just seems weird that Jake didn't say anything.

-Why should he? -Well, what about Rachel?

She's going to be heartbroken

whether she admits it or not.

-Is she? -I thought New York

was the love of her life now.

Yes. Well, and once upon a time, it was Jake.

And apparently he's moved on.

[Ted] Evening all.

-Hello, Dad. -Hey.

[Ted] What's up?

Oh, just some new developments.

Must be something in the water.

Night.

-Night. -Night.

That was the best meal I've eaten in my life.

Yeah, I think my roast chook

could have looked pretty sad in comparison.

Ooh, I don't know about that.

Because you know there was one thing I noticed.

I mean, don't get me wrong, the restaurant was gorgeous.

How about that view?

But they didn't have any napkin rings, did they?

And they call it fine dining.

Laughable.

At those prices.

A joke. [chuckles]

It was still the best first date I've ever been on.

Oh, kissing, kissing. Sorry. Sorry.

Good night.

I should go.

See you tomorrow?

Yeah.

-I've got to go. -[laughter]

So it was a good night in other words?

That's all you need to say.

How was yours?

Well, I'm not so sure.

And I'm not sure it's a conversation for tonight.

Oh, look, Ben's left his jacket.

I'll give it to him in the morning.

All right.

-Night. -Night.

[Coby] You all set for the big night, boss?

[Dave] Just got to collect my party frock.

Oh, and don't forget to pay the PA guy.

I know Bree picked up the check last night.

-Bree? -Yeah. Come straight

-from your place, did she? -Well...

How long have you guys been seeing each other?

-Sorry? -You and Bree?

-[Coby] You are kidding me. -We're not seeing each other.

Well, not according to her.

-Dial triple zero, now. -Okay, okay, Dave,

I don't know what she told you,

but there's nothing going on between us.

Hey, hey, hey, mate, it's no business of mine.

But you just might want to let her know

if there's trouble in paradise.

Coffee?

Jake, Jake, Jake, are you listening to me now.

I cannot tell you this many times,

there is something wrong in her brain, she's--

Coby, grow up!

[sighs]

Do you think it's a bit early to call Donna?

I'm dying to know how last night went

with this mystery man of hers.

Hmm, if it was a success, she might be busy right now.

[Julie] Oh!

You know, somebody ought to use

these skydiving passes before they run out.

Hey, you didn't tell us how your night went last night.

Ah, yeah, yeah.

Well, go on.

Well, it took me a bit by surprise I've got to say.

Really? Why? Was the food not good?

You should tell Donna that,

she'll be onto that kitchen in a flash.

Well, Donna was there actually.

Last night?

Yeah. I asked her out just as mates

to say thanks for all the help she'd given me with Cooper.

Yeah, but Donna had a date last night with a mystery...

[gasps]

No.

Yes.

Ted? As in Ted Rafter?

Taylor actually.

And, yes, he's the only Ted I know.

As in my new boyfriend's grandfather?

Mom, isn't that just a little bit incestuous?

Look, you can't plan these things, Emma.

I've met a man I like and I don't think

that I should have to defend myself.

Anyway, for all I know,

I've made a complete fool of myself.

Why? What did he say?

Well, he was a perfect gentleman, of course he was,

but he didn't say anything to indicate how he might feel.

Well, maybe you took him by surprise.

[phone ringing]

Hey, Ben.

I was just about to call you.

Yeah, no worry, it's here.

Ah, yup, your wallet's in the pocket.

Okay. See you soon, bye.

Oh.

What's wrong?

Oh, nothing. It's just a photo.

You know, I knew it was there.

It's not like I didn't know he'd been married.

[Ben] Oh, hey.

Thank you.

[Emma] If you're going to do the whole

"I forgot my wallet thing,"

you're meant to do it before you pay the bill.

Damn, I mess that one up every time.

Don't worry. It's the only stuff up you made.

-Hey, um, Mom, Emma's here. -Hey.

-Mom, uh... -Julie.

I was wondering if you'd had a chance

to talk to Ted this morning?

Do you think you could have told me

it was my father we were talking about?

"Oh, hey I've got a hot date,

and by the way it's your dad!"

So were you upset that I didn't tell you?

Yes!

Or is it that it was Ted I went out with?

Yes! Both!

-Ben the ice is getting cold. -Mom, Mom, calm down.

You were the one that said if you like someone,

-give it a go. -Oh, got for it,

yes, go for it somewhere else

at the fruit shop with Dino, not with my father!

[Donna] Well, sometimes we just need to learn

to keep our noses out of other people's business.

Not when it is my family we are talking about!

One of your family might be about to break

the heart of my daughter, but you don't hear me

making a song and dance about it.

Ben would never hurt Emma, all right?

And I would never hurt your father.

Ladies.

-Is there a problem? -No.

Nothing a few years won't fix.

-Hi, Emma. -[Emma] Hi.

[Julie] A new relationship

is the ultimate new beginning.

But, honestly, did she really have

to set her sights on Dad?

Hey, let me know if you need a hand.

[Matt laughs]

You done that before?

[Jake] Yeah.

Hey, mate, how are you?

[Julie] Oh, hello. Oh, check, one, two.

-[Nathan] I'll take it... -[Dave] Hey, Frosty, Beverly.

How you going?

Just come grab a drink.

[Julie] Oh, Donna, hi. Don't you look lovely.

-New dress, is it? -It's an old favorite actually.

Oh, yes, well vintage is your thing.

Excuse me.

It can be changed, you know.

It could read Rafter and Barton

if you play your cards right.

-Really? -Yeah.

No, don't you think it would be Barton and Rafter,

'cause Barton comes first in the alphabet.

Yeah, like I said, about cards and playing them right.

Yeah, all right. All right, yeah.

Well, it means a lot to me

that you'd even think about it.

Hey, it's a family business,

as long as you know you're a part of it.

I'll be back in a minute.

Can you come with me?

Jake.

-Jake! -Are you out of your mind?

No, look, that's why I'm here. I wanted to say--

Why did you tell the Rafters that we were a couple?

I didn't. It just came out like that.

-Why did-- -I don't know.

I... Maybe I wanted it to be true.

-Bree... -Don't because I'm embarrassed

enough about this as it is.

I meant what I said to you about letting you in.

I haven't done that with anyone else.

My mom is so needy

and she's always had to have a guy around.

And I never wanted to be like that.

So if I met someone,

I'd sleep with them a few times

and then that would be it. I'd end it because

that way no one gets hurt and there's no complications.

But then I met you and I realized that...

you can't control how you feel about someone all the time.

It's just something that happens.

I know.

It's like me and Rachel.

It's not something you can just switch off.

-No. -Yeah, but it does get easier.

Uh, I've got to get back to this party.

Do you... Do you want a drink or something?

No, no, I'll leave you to it.

Bree.

About what Coby says,

look, I've never met your mom. All right,

but from what I've seen, you're...

I reckon you're nothing like her.

Thanks.

[tries to whistle]

Jules.

[whistles]

Okay, everyone, I know you'd be disappointed

-if I didn't make a speech. -Ha, ha.

-Ha, ha, you reckon? -[laughter]

Heckled by my own son.

Off to a good start.

I'd just like to take a couple of moments

to thank a few people, then I'll leave you all alone.

Um, firstly, you're only as good as the people

that you work with, and so, um, Jake and Coby and, uh,

and, and Matt and of course Nathan.

Thanks, mate.

The other person that I'd like to thank is my wife.

I couldn't have done this without you

or anything for that matter.

-Thank you. -Thank you all for coming

and please consider...

Uh, drum roll, please.

Rafter's Electrical open.

[cheers and applause]

All right, let's try that one again.

Uh, drum roll, please.

Yeah, no, I'm trying, it's not working.

[Dave] Yeah, okay, well, uh, we just do the wiring,

the batteries are someone else's department.

[laughter]

[Dave] And Rafter's Electrical...

[cheers and applause]

[Dave] A well-oiled machine.

-Come on. -Come on.

[Dave] Come on, come on, let's christen the joint.

[man] Yeah. Yeah.

[Dave] Did it all myself.

Come on in, go on in.

Don't touch a thing. All right,

don't touch a thing.

Yeah, no, I've worked that part out. Thank you.

Sounded good, eh?

I can see why he's still playing the Legacy.

Oh, he just hasn't had his big break yet.

[laughs] Oh, yeah, that'd be it.

Well, it's all about having fun though, isn't it?

-Oh, yeah but-- -[Matt] So far so good.

I haven't cleared the place yet.

No. On the contrary, mate, you're doing great.

I'm going to see if I can get another beer down me guts.

It was good, Matt, good on you.

He didn't like it.

No. He's just too busy getting hammered

to pay attention to the music.

Well, lucky I don't play

for Steve Wilson, you know.

Everyone else is loving it.

[Matt] Well, that's good enough for me.

Thanks anyway for giving me a chance.

All right.

Benny boy, you know the drill.

Mineral water?

Oh, come on, that stuff will kill me.

How about a water and a beer?

Oh! Good idea.

-Rock and roll. -Oh, Nathan.

Hey, Steve.

You're having a good night by the looks of it.

You know what, you got it right, you know that.

You played it smart.

I was the smart one?

I don't get accused of that too often.

Listen, your old man,

if you were going to look up to anyone, to anyone,

you look up to him.

That's not a problem, I already do.

[Matt] G'day. So Dave's asked me to play another set.

Thank you, yes.

And as a special treat, he's going to join us.

-[cheers and applause] -[guitar music playing]

Oh, I couldn't play this song without my old mate Steve.

Come on, Steve.

Have some fun,

just like we did in the old days.

-Come on, mate. -No, no, no.

Go on, mate. Go on, Steve, go, go.

[Nathan] Oi! You're not going home yet, are you?

[Coby] No. I'm just...

I'm just getting out of everyone's way, that's all.

I can't believe this is still about the remote.

It's not just about that.

It's everything. Everything that I touch.

Right. So something goes wrong

and you just chuck it in and bail.

Like you can talk.

That's different.

Why? Because it's you and not me?

No, 'cause I'm not running away.

I'm being honest with myself. I'm looking at my life,

I'm saying, "That's not how I want it to be.

-What can I do about it?" -Isn't that

wonderful for you? You can just click

your fingers and start all over again.

Well, it's not like that for me.

Everything I try blows up in my face.

-Look at tonight. -That was a flat battery.

How am I supposed to do TAFE without you?

How am I supposed to do that?

[Julie]For something new to start,

something else has to end,

which is not so easy

if you're the one being left behind.

Hey!

-[Jake] Hi. -Oi.

Where'd you get to?

Oh, I didn't feel like dancing.

Dave seemed happy.

Yeah. No, it was a good turnout.

It was good.

I saw Bree before.

At the party?

Geez, she's got a hide.

She apologized.

So she should.

Well, you should go easy on her, mate.

Oh, is that right?

Yeah.

Well...

you know, she's trying to move on with her life.

Yeah. Well, I'll believe that when I see it.

Mate, you got to start letting go of this.

You were both dealt a bad hand.

Deal with it. She is.

[dialing]

Oi, it's me. You up for a drink?

[Dave]Yeah, it went all right.

People seemed to be enjoying themselves.

[Julie] Oh, it went better than all right.

[Nathan] Hey. Hey, I know it's late.

There's something we need to talk to you both about.

Sounds ominous.

Oh, Coby, I was a bit worried about you,

the way you took off like that.

[Coby] Well, uh, Nath and I had a chat.

Hmm. And I told him that

instead of sitting around complaining

he should do something positive.

-Yes. -Always good advice.

[Nathan] Which is why we jumped online

and we have booked around the world airfares.

Oh!

-What, both of you? -[Nathan] Yeah.

For what, a holiday or?

Me, yes, but...

Not me. Um, I'm planning on getting

a bit of work over there.

Oh, so it's not just a quick trip then?

When are you leaving?

As soon as we get sorted.

First stop, New York. Uh, we're going to crash

on Rachel's floor and then we'll see what happens.

-Now I really hate you. -No, no, you don't.

Not really.

As long as you're happy, mate.

Yeah.

-Thank you. -[Julie laughs]

And what's your story, Mr. Jennings?

Um, well, bond's finished.

-I'm good to go. -What about TAFE?

TAFE's on a break.

It'll only be a few weeks. I know I'm leaving you

in the lurch, but I haven't taken any time off.

This'd be your first.

Sometimes you...

You know, you've got to turn your life around, you know?

Well, what do they say? Fortune favors the brave.

It's up to you, Dave.

I've never been overseas before.

And I would like to go.

It's your call.

Don't change the locks.

As if that'd stop you.

Yeah, bon voyage.

-Yes! -Yes!

-Vegas. Vegas. -Vegas.

-[Julie laughs] -Vegas, Vegas.

-What you doing? -Ah, just a second.

I want to finish this paragraph

before I lose the thought.

-What is it? -It's my blog.

Your what?

A blog. It's like a diary on the internet.

-Anyone can read it. Oh. -Hmm.

Well, I figured one rejection

shouldn't mean I give up something I enjoy.

Good on you.

Why's it called a blog?

I have no idea.

What are you writing about me?

Ah, no, no, no, you,

you need to sign up and follow me.

I need to have at least one person follow me.

Oh.

There.

I am a published author.

Hmm.

Let me guess your first entry

was about another child leaving the nest.

Oh, yes, he's young.

He's got the whole world waiting for him.

Yeah, I think it's a good thing.

Get someone new in at work and we can all make

-a fresh start. -Yes.

Well, fortune favors the brave.

Mmm-hmm, yes.

You know, that should count for us, you know.

The kids shouldn't be the only ones having fun.

-Should I get naked? -No.

For something to begin,

sometimes something has to end.

Granted, that's not the most comforting thought

at 5,000 feet.

Tell me again why this is a good idea?

You tell me.

I keep thinking about Ruby.

We've been through this.

It's perfectly safe.

It's terrifying.

[Dave] It'll be fine.

You know, by leaving,

I automatically become the favorite brother,

not that I wasn't already.

She's got way better taste than that,

don't you, Rubes?

Hey, Nathan,

there's something that I've always wanted to tell you.

Mmm-hmm, what's that?

Well, ever since the day you were born,

I've never ever, ever liked you.

Especially your nose.

And every email you send me from every exotic location,

I'm going to not like you that little bit more.

I'll miss you too, mate. [laughs]

And your big honky nose. Ooh!

[laughs] Good chat.

-[Matt] G'day all. -[all] Hey.

Hey. Nathan, the finest wine five bucks can buy.

Oh, it's as cheap as you, Uncle Matt.

Thank you very much.

Good timing. Come and meet your niece.

-[Matt] Hey? -I'm about to Skype Rachel.

Um, Ben, could you, um...

Step aside, dinosaur.

What?

Just you've grown up so much, that's all.

Mom, I warned you.

We just want you to know how proud we are of you.

-Dad. -No, it's true, mate.

And we are all set.

Oh, hello. Oh, oh.

-Hi. -[all] Hey!

Oh, my God. Hi. You're all there.

[Rachel] It's late, but tell me everything.

I want to hear everything. How are you all?

Oh my God. Look at Ruby!

You made Ruby cry.

[Rachel] How are you, darling?

This is Emma.

[Julie] Around here, new beginnings

seem to go hand in tissue

with a few goodbye tears.

But without goodbyes,

you can't look forward to new hellos.

How you going?
