All language subtitles for McLeods Daughters (2001) - S02E05 - Hello Stranger (1080p AMZN WEB-DL x265 MONOLITH)

Previously on McLeod's Daughters.

Wilgul's in my name.

It was bought with my money.

It's mine and mine alone.

All right, Nick, you wanna go it alone?

You're gonna find out
what that really means.

Alex, I want the tractor gone,
I want the grader gone,

I want the boom sprayer gone.

You wanna be boss, Nick?

You can be boss.

Of nothing at all.

And he took my hand without saying a word,
and we danced.

And I knew the moment he touched me

that he was the one.

That was dad?

Oh.

Then he left us.

It's not always a happy ending, Jodi.

But that's okay, because when it was good,

it was very, very good.

Oi, Tess.

Wake up.

Isn't there a rule against working

when the temperature gets over 40?

Yeah, well, the sooner we get 'em through,

the sooner we get out of the sun.

(car engine running)

Who's this?

(car door closing)

Oh my God.

What?

Hello, Meg.

You must be Jodi.

I'm Jodi.

Jodi.

Say hello to your father.

♪ It'll take some time to find your heart ♪

♪ And come back home ♪

♪ You could walk for miles,
cross every river ♪

♪ And find you're not alone ♪

♪ 'Cause I'll be there ♪

♪ Oh ♪

♪ Oh ♪

♪ You're not alone ♪

♪ Oh ♪

♪ Oh ♪

♪ 'Cause I'll be there ♪

♪ Ooh ♪

So is he really her father?

Yeah.

Hasn't even changed that much.

I don't remember him at all.

Well, you wouldn't.

You were too busy playing with your dolls.

So what's he doing here?

I don't know.

What does he want?

I don't know.

Well, you must know something.

All I,

all I...

Claire, that is...

All I know is they were married,

and when Jodi was one, he just took off.

Just like that?
Just like that.

Not a word, not a note, not a goodbye.

In 18 years.

Yep.
What a bastard.

(chickens clucking)

(piano music)

Where did you get this?

I found it in Jack's study.

When was that?

When I was five.

Oh, sweetheart, I'm sorry.

Come here.

(cries)

Why did you walk out on us?

I didn't.

Yes, you did.

I was one.

You left without leaving a note.

You left without even saying goodbye.

That's not the way it happened.

Your mother told me that
she wasn't coming with me.

It was her decision, not mine.

That's not true.

Is it?

Yes, it is.

(cries)

I wonder what they're talking about.

18 years, it's a lot to catch up on.

Hey Meg, we're almost through here

if you wanna take off.

No, no, I'm here to work.

So what's Kevin doing here?

He's here for Jodi's 18th.

Yeah, but that was months ago.

Exactly.

Nick.

Hey, Nick.

Hey.

Come for the tank?

Yeah,
now that dad's taking everything back.

I only need it for a couple of days.

Just gotta get the weeds
sprayed around the yards.

No worries.

Have you ordered the truck yet?

Yep, why?

I tried everyone, they're all booked out.

Really?
Yeah.

I spoke to John Jackson this morning.

There was no problem.

Maybe I should give him a call.

Yeah.

Gotta get my sheep to sale.

Cash flow problems?

My loan repayment's due Friday.

Mm.

Brother.

Yeah.

Having you didn't change a thing for me.

I thought we'd sail away, the three of us.

Find a strong wind
with the smell of salt in it.

First stop, the Philippines.

So why didn't we?

It's probably something
you should ask your mother.

No, I wanna know from you.

We didn't really get to
talk a lot about it, Jodi.

Your mother made her decision,

and I hitched a ride outta here.

It wasn't her fault.

She'd put down roots here.

I couldn't take her away from all this.

Well, not without a lot of pain.

I loved you, and I loved her, but

back then if I'd stayed,

it would've just been
putting off the tears.

(gate creaking)

I'll grab that, Meg.

You want me to run him
off the property for you?

You can't, they just need

time together, that's all.

He doesn't deserve it.

Whatever else he is, he's still her dad.

It's too hot to do any more today.

I'll get on with the cleaning.

What is it about today?

The hottest day of the year.

Don't people have shady
trees they should be under?

Cold pools they could lie in.

Oh, what about a nice spa?

Don't even think about it.

It's green and full of mozzies.

Hey.
Hey, yourself.

About to go up and have a cold drink.

All right, sounds good.

You want to share a
truck to the sale tomorrow?

No, I've got one organized.

Oh, Nick needs one, though.

You could share with him.

Nick plays his own game.

That's a bit rough.

It's his choice, not mine, Claire.

Alex...

Look, I don't want to get into it, right?

You don't want to share a truck, fine.

No worries, I'll see you.

What about the cold drink?

Ah, forget it.

(broom rustling)

We could've gone with him.

And you said no.

Jodi, you were a year old.

We had hardly any money.

It was so impractical.

So why didn't you tell me that?

Why tell me a lie all this time?

What sort of person would make me think

my father was this hopeless loser?

He's not that at all.

No, he's not.

I didn't let him go to stay gone.

I let him go hoping he'd come home.

That he'd travel enough to realize

what was important to him.

And he'd come back to us.

I loved him.

And I waited, and I hoped.

And when he didn't come home,

it hurt.

I didn't want you growing up
waiting and hoping and being...

It's better not to believe in something

than to have your belief in it crushed.

You have lied to me my whole life.

Why should I believe anything you say now?

What are you doing?

It's the coolest room in the house.

Well, you can't just park yourself here.

I've got work to do.

You have not.

You're just here 'cause it's
the coolest room in the house.

Maybe.

But it's got the telephone,

and I've gotta phone Peter about Casino.

Of course,
it's a five-minute quarterhorse update.

I haven't spoken to Peter...

For 10 minutes, I know.

Besides, he's probably not even interested

in horses right now.

He's probably lying in a
hammock somewhere in the shade,

sipping something cool, and naked.

(phone ringing)

Shut up.

Hello?

Ah, Nick.

Is he naked?

What?

No, nothing.

No, no one's naked.

Yeah, the company, Jackson's Freight.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

See ya.

Nick's still having
difficulty getting a truck.

Jackson's is fully booked.

That's pretty stupid.

Alex has half a truck spare,
and Nick needs half a truck.

Why don't they just sort something out?

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm gonna talk to him myself.

Oh, go, Claire of the U.N.

Be careful.

Alex has a hammock.

There's a lot of shade at Killarney.

Maybe you wanna make a warning phone call.

Whht.

Goodbye, Claire.

(laughs)

Do you want one?

What?

Oh, no thanks.

I'm just popping over to Killarney.

Can you leave me some lunch?

Yep, sure.

Oh, Claire, can my father

bunk down in the shearer's quarters?

Yep.

Excellent.

I'll go make up his bed.

Why?

I mean, everything you've said about him.

Just get rid of him.

Maybe he wasn't the
rat I always said he was.

(truck engine running)

(laughs)

Oh.

Oh.

You all right?

Oh yeah.

Look, Alex, Nick can't get a truck,

and he needs to make this sale.

You've got space.

Is it such a bad thing to call?

If Nick can't find a truck,
that's his problem.

Why are you being so hard on him?

He's made his bed.

All he needs to do is share a truck.

He'll pay.
He's gotta find out

what it means to go out on your own.

So you've called on a couple of mates.

Yeah, I've called in a favor or two.

This is your son.

If he wants help, all he's gotta do is ask.

You'd do all this just to make a point.

It's not your business, Claire.

Stay out of it.

(horse whickering)

You don't owe Nick any favors.

Get away, dad.

When you're working at Wilgul for him,
building that shed.

But Nick doesn't deserve this, right?

Did he bother to tell
you it was all for him?

I mean, even if he had a problem with me,

why couldn't he tell you?

'Cause he was using you, Alex.

You can't expect to
walk all over your family,

have 'em do nothing.

Yeah, maybe, but shuttin' him down, dad.

I told you, if he wants help,
all he's gotta do is ask.

You know he's not gonna ask.

His choice.

I knew I didn't belong here.

I knew it.

All that time I wanted to leave,
and I could have.

Mum had the choice of the whole world,
and she chose here.

What's wrong with here?

Are you crazy?

I'd love to travel.

All the places dad's,

that my dad's been.

Greece, Algeria.

Imagine the people you'd meet.

Yeah, but Jodi, you wouldn't be able

to speak to any of them unless you've been

taking Algerian on the sly.

Jodi, this is your home.

Big deal.

I could've had a home in
Canada or India or Turkey.

Well, thank goodness you didn't,

'cause then you'd be a Turk,
not just a turkey.

(sighs)

The point is I'd be with my father.

And mum stopped me from doing that.

She lied!

She's such a bitch.

It must be really tough having
two parents to choose from.

Lucky for me, both my parents hate my guts.

Life's simple.

Ha ha.

You know he's worked in South America?

It'd be great to walk along the Inca Trail.

(truck engine running)

G'day.

G'day.

I've gotta decide whether to
give up and let 'em go or not.

It's too hot to keep 'em yarded.

Yeah.

No luck with the trucks?

Oh, there's one more chance.

I left a couple of messages
with the Seymours.

They're not returning my calls.

Yeah, they probably won't.

I've been talking to Harry.

He'd really do that?

And Alex?

Oh, not Alex.

I'm stuffed.

The truckers aren't gonna cross Harry Ryan.

If I don't get a truck,
I don't get to the sale.

Maybe not.

I've got a whole truck,
and I don't need it.

I've got room for an extra hundred.

Look, I know it's half of
what you wanted to sell,

but it's better than nothing.

And at least you'll have enough
to meet the loan payment.

That shows Harry he can't run everything.

See you tomorrow morning, then.

Oi.
What?

Thanks.

No worries.

The thing about the sea
is the feeling of lightness.

On a quiet night and a gentle breeze,

you get the sense there's
nothing solid underneath you.

And the sky's so big,

it's like you're flying through the stars.

Don't you have to be
really rich to own a yacht?

You have to be really
stupid to own a yacht.

Then how...

You only have to be a
good sailor to crew one.

I mean, why get stuck in one
job in one town in one country

when you can travel, meet people,
make money, see the world?

I wish I could do something like that.

You can.

No, I can't.

I don't have enough money for the city,

let alone a ticket to see the world.

I wish we'd gone when I was a kid.

I could have grown up on a yacht.

I could've had this whole life already.

I'm sure you've had a great life here.

Who knows what he's saying to her?

Probably trying to make himself

look good in this whole thing.

Kev was always good with a story.

Did you like him?

Yeah, you know, I did.

Liked him better when he was gone.

(laughs)

So you don't mind him being back?

No, 'course not.

You still,

how do you feel about it?

I'm that angry!

I don't know what to feel.

He buggered off, you know?

But it was so long ago now,

and now Jodi hates
me for lying all this time.

What else could you do?

She was a baby.

You had to make decisions for both of you.

I thought I was doing the right thing.

You were.

She'll come 'round.

(poignant music)

I'm thinking Meg's mind

wasn't completely on the cooking today.

I remember Kev up in the shearing sheds.

He used to do magic tricks.

He used to pull a spoon out of my ear.

Drove me crazy,
I couldn't work out how he was doing it.

Jodi's over the moon to have him back.

Mm.

I get that.

I mean, I know technically he's her father,

but she hardly knows him.

How can he mean that much to her?

You think you'd love Jack

just 'cause he was around all the time,

just 'cause you knew the guy?

No.

When I went back to the city with mum,

she'd be at work,
and I'd be home by myself after school.

Every day, I used to hope

that there'd be a knock at the door,
and I'd open it,

and Jack would be there.

And I used to fantasize about what I'd wear

and what I'd say to him,
what he'd say to me.

It would have been magic.

So I've been given a score every week,

but it really comes
down to the big interview,

which is next week, and the ball.

It would be really good to win, though.

I can't see how anyone
else stands a chance.

Yeah, right.

Jodi, you're gorgeous.

And you're smart, and you're funny.

Maybe things have changed around here,
but 20 years ago,

those qualities were
pretty thin on the ground.

Oh, I don't know.

Yes, you do.

You're absolutely beautiful.

Don't you believe that?

If I say yes, doesn't that make me

up myself?

When someone gives you a compliment,

they're giving you a present.

Would you throw away a present?

Of course not.

Then what's wrong with saying thank you?

Everyone can be beautiful.

You just have to let yourself be.

Thank you.

You know, I don't know anyone
who thinks or talks like you.

You're a great dad.

Thanks.

You'd better run along before
your mum starts to worry.

(sighs)

Can I kiss you goodnight?

Yeah.

'Course you can.

I'm your dad, aren't I?

Goodnight.
'Night.

You will still be here in the morning,
right?

I'm not going anywhere.

(sighs)

Oh, this is ridiculous.

You want me to stay?

I'd love you to.

But I don't think it's a good idea.

I'm sorry about all of this.

Don't be.

It's natural to be anxious, you know?

Jodi...
Bathroom.

I think we should...

No, we shouldn't.

(door slamming)

You know where I am.

G'day.

I was just thinking about you.

Why did you come back?

That's a fair enough
question after all this time.

Truth is,

I don't really have an answer.

Well, there must be a reason.

What do you want, money?

Why does there have to be a reason?

Well, there wasn't a reason the first year.

Or the second, or the fifth, or the 10th.

I just wanted to see you.

Isn't that enough?

(sighs)

Yeah, no, I'm fine.

You sure?

I did one for you.

Oh, I've eaten, thanks.

Morning, everyone.

I thought you were eating at home.

Why?

So you can tell more lies

about my father while he isn't here?

Jodi.

It's all right, Claire.

We don't want to bother you,

we just wanted to be with you all.

But if you're busy.

No, look, stay.

What would you like?

I'll get it.

I think I can still find my
way around this kitchen.

Now, the cereal in '82 used to be here.

And it still is.

I hope it's not the same box.

Claire, you're missing something.

What?

Your spoon.

No.

It was just there.

Oh, look.

That's been there since '82 as well.

Well done.

Mum, can you please pass the toast?

If it's not too much trouble.

I don't suppose there
are any eggs here either.

Don't worry about us, we'll be fine.

Uh, Jodi, why don't we go
and get a couple from the shed?

See, I told you he was fantastic.

He's not at all like my mother
said he was all these years.

I can't believe she kicked
him out and then lied about it.

You know, she's cheated me

out of a relationship with my father.

What's her...

Jodi, shut up.

No matter what your mum said or did,

or didn't say or didn't do,

what about what your dad did?

What?

He's a great guy, Jod,
don't get me wrong, but in the end,

he left,
and there was no contact for 18 years.

Did he ever write you a letter?

Send you any money?

Anything?

Any piece of communication?

That's not your mum's fault.

You know what, I bet he did write.

She's lied about everything else.

Jodi...

I reckon he wrote, and she hid the letters,

just like your mum did.

What are you doing?

Where are the letters?

What letters?

The letters.

From dad.

The postcards, Christmas cards.

Where are they?

There were no letters.

Not one.

Never.

I don't believe you.

Yeah, it's true.

You are, you're lying.

Did you ever write to me after you left?

No.

You must have.

All that stuff you said
about thinking about me,

imagining me growing up,
you didn't even send one postcard?

What if Meg had got married again?

Your mother's a wonderful woman, Jodi.

It was only natural
she'd meet someone else.

I didn't want to get in the way of that.

I didn't want to hurt you.

And to be honest, I didn't want to be hurt.

Better for everyone if I just

stayed out of your life altogether.

So what made you change your mind?

I figured Jodi's an adult now.

She's old enough to decide if
she wants to know me or not.

I didn't come here to drive
a wedge between you two.

I'd walk off the property now

rather than upset you, you know?

Yeah, you're good at walking off.

Can't you say anything nice?

No.

No, your mother's right.

I'm a wanderer.

Always have been.

Meg did what she had to, to bring you up.

And look what a terrific job she's done.

Better than if I'd been here, probably.

Don't blame your mother for
who I am and what I've done.

I'm the one that let you down, not her.

(car doors closing)

I hear you had trouble finding a truck.

I'll manage.

I think Alex has got half a truck space.

You offering?

Are you asking?

Hey, hey.

Why do you have to do
everything on your own?

You know why.

We're still your family, Nick.

That's not the sort of family I want, dad.

Fine.

You do it on your own, see how far you get.

(dramatic music)

Sprung bad.

What can he do to us now?

(cell phone beeping)

Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi!

Oi, oi, oi!
Hey, hey!

(clapping)

12, number 12.

Calling number 12.

Come in, John, you there?

Number 12, number 12, calling number 12.

Come in, John.

You there?

Picker number 12 receiving, go ahead.

(truck door closing)

That's it, we're done.

Thanks, Claire.

Pleasure.

I don't know how to say this.

There's been some sort of
stuff-up with the bookings.

I can't take this load.

You can't take my sheep?

Not only yours.

I can't take Miss McLeod's either.

I reckon I've gotta unload the whole lot

and get over to Spring Ridge...
No way.

I booked this truck yesterday morning.

Look,
nothing like this has ever happened before.

Is this what I think it is?

Harry.

I'm not unloading the sheep.

We've gotta get them to the sale.

Sorry.

I'm just following orders.

I mean, I'll unload the lot if I have to.

Wait, wait.

Careful, Claire.

You'll just get boycotted too.

(truck engine running)

Go on.

Whssh.

Someone open the gate?

Oh, I'll do it.

I'm gonna go round up some more sheep.

Good girl.

What?

Oh, nothing.

I haven't seen you so keen.

What, I love sheep work.

We could wait for the next sale,
try again then.

What, and just hope that
Harry forgets about his vendetta?

I need the cash this week.

I've gotta get these sheep to Gungellan.

Come on.

What if we bring Gungellan to the sheep?

An on-farm sale?

Yeah, yeah.

We had one at Drover's a couple years back.

We rang around prospective buyers,

told them what we had on offer,

got an auctioneer, all did it at home.

It went pretty well.

Look at the yards.

They're too big to show the sheep off.

Drover's'd be perfect for it.

No, it's too hot to drive
the sheep there today.

It'd have to be here.

Why don't we have the sale tomorrow,

and do some work on the yards today?

That's a good idea.

Yeah, we could set up portable yards

with temporary fences.

I'll get on the blower, get some buyers,

get 'em before they go to the sale today.

You all right?

G'day, Kevin.

Well, well, you still here?

You haven't moved far in the world,
have you?

I didn't have to.

I knew a good thing when I saw it.

Yeah, my wife.

Well, that'd be the wife

that you walked out on, wouldn't it?

Everything okay?

Yeah, right as rain.

Yeah, fine.

I have to go.

Claire needs some fencing over at Wilgul.

What for?

Nick and Claire are having an on-farm sale.

Do you want to come?

I can't come between Harry and Nick.

Yeah, of course.

Maybe I can help.

Why don't we take my ute?

Come on, mum.

See you, Terry.

Sure you're okay?

If you are.

I'm gonna melt.

This is nothing.

You try mustering camels in the Sahara,

then you'll know hot.

You did that?

Yeah.

At least sheep don't spit at you.

Your mother rode a camel once.

Really?

I don't remember.

Oh, I do.

It was at a show,
and you got on the biggest one.

Wow, was it fun?

It was a disaster.

Things didn't go exactly as planned.

The camel took off, and Meg went flying.

Did you hurt yourself?

No.

How come?

Kevin managed to catch me.

Oh, how romantic.

Silly bloody thing.

Should never have got
on it in the first place.

So tell me more about when
you and mum were together.

The first time I saw your
mum was at a dance.

A band.

Oh yeah, Sherbet?

Dragon.
Eh?

She told me once.

Ah.

Anyway, it was your mum's 21st.

18th.

Yeah, well, you looked older than me,

and you had your hair down.

It was up.

It was way up, 'round.

Not by the end of the night.

It took me three hours to get it right.

I couldn't take my eyes off you.

You were so beautiful.

I looked across at you,
and you looked across at me.

And when our eyes met, I knew.

You were the woman for me.

(Nick whistles)

We're on.

Got buyers for tomorrow.

Yay!

Gimme an S, gimme an H, gimme an E, E, P.

(car door closing)

So what have you done?

Good time at the sales?

No, the buyers were down.

So why wasn't Claire there?

No, I don't know.

Cut the bull, dad.

You know what I'm asking.

Yeah, I did hear she had some trouble.

The truck got called away.

I think it was the same one
she was sharing with Nick.

You're a real piece of work, aren't you?

I'm just protecting your interests.

You want your brother to walk all over you?

This is gonna be your place, Alex.

You don't want it, say the word.

(water splashing)

Didn't realize I had an audience.

I just got here.

I was wondering,
if you're not doing anything,

if you'd like to come over for dinner.

Yeah, I'd love to.

Okay.

Cozy, isn't it?

Huh, yeah, but you can't sail in it.

Sailing isn't everything.

Never thought I'd hear you say that.

Some things have taken a while to learn.

Jodi.

Mm.

Ahem.

To...

To us?

To us.

(glasses clinking)

So this Miss Gungellan ball,
I seem to remember

there's some sort of waltz involved.

Yeah, I know.

It's gonna be a disaster.

I've asked Craig Woodland,
but he's hopeless.

He'll probably tackle me to the floor.

Any chance I could do it?

Really?

If you wanted me to.

Nothing would make me prouder.

But it's a week away.

Are you sure you can stay that long?

I've wasted 18 years.

Not going anywhere in a hurry.

Ah, chops!

Here you go.

So you reckon they'll all come?

Yep.

I got 'em before they
went to the sale today.

A lot of them decided to try us first.

Good going, Nick.

Not massive numbers, Tess.

You only need one.

Nick.
Alex.

I heard about the trouble with the truck,
Claire.

It's my truck too, mate.

I came to apologize.

It's a bit late for that.
I came to apologize

to Claire, all right?
Hey, hey, Alex.

It's not your fault, okay?

You cookin' something up?

We're having an on-farm sale.

At Wilgul.

You need a hand?

Yeah.

Pull up a pew, then.

One, two, three, four, five

should do ya.
Salad.

I'll get you some knives and forks.

Bread, Alex?
Coming tomorrow morning?

Wow.

Nick's a six, Craig's a two,

but you're definitely a nine and a half.

Mum said you were a good dancer.

Did she, now?
Yes.

Whoa.
Thanks, dad.

No, no, no, no.

Oh, go on, mum.

Come on.

You guys look terrific.

(laughing)

I'd better go.

Thanks.

He's pretty terrific, isn't he?

There's just no way that's gonna happen.

Hey!

That's Race Haley.

How'd you get him?

Natural charm.

(laughs)

I reckon he can smell a fire sale.

Want a drink?
No thanks.

We got a problem.

The auctioneer rang.

He's cracked a radiator
just outside Fischer.

He's not gonna make it.

I'll do it.

No!

That'll be 33.

We're lookin' for four, for four, for four.

We got four, we got five.

Lookin' for five,
lookin' for five, lookin' for five.

55, lookin' for six, lookin' for six.

Come on, ladies and gentlemen,
these are prime...

I need at least 40 per head.

Come on, these are brilliant sheep.

Lookin' for seven, six,
seven, we got eight.

We got eight at the back,
there's eight, lookin' for nine,

39, lookin' for 40, we got 40.

Lookin' for one,
lookin' for one, lookin' for one,

lookin' for one, lookin' for one.

Someone give me 41.

Come on, ladies and gentlemen,

this one's already got its suit on,

better dressed than I am.

Yes, we got 41 at the back.

We're lookin' for two, lookin' for two,

lookin' for two,
lookin' for two, lookin' for two.

We got two.

We got 43 coming,
43 with 42, I'll take a half.

43, lookin' for four, lookin' for four, 44.

Lookin' for five, 45, 45, lookin' for five,

lookin' for five, lookin' for five.

We got five at the back.

Can I see six, can I see six?

45 for the second time, I take a half,

45 for the third and final time.

Sold to the gentleman in the hat.

Well done, sir.

All right.
Moving to the next yard.

These are prime McLeod ewes.

You know what I'm talkin' about now.

I don't know how you let him go.

Kev.

What do you want,
check or cash for the auctioneer's fee?

Neither, it was a pleasure.

No, no, mate, wouldn't be right.

Wouldn't have made half
as much money without you.

Claire,
there's no way I'm taking your money,

I'm getting free board as it is.

But...

Happy to help.

Forget it.

So you got enough for the loan repayment?

More than enough.

Extra 900 to start fixin' the yards with.

That's great.

Uh-oh.

What can he do to us now?

You know, it's a funny thing.

Called Race Haley,
his wife told me he's at a sale.

At Wilgul.

Well, congratulations.

I gotta say I admire you for this.

It's very smart, very organized.

Looks like you've done a good job.

I'm proud of you, Nick.

What's this?

That's a bill.

For using Killarney men at Wilgul.

A thousand dollars.

If you need this money,
I can lend it back to you.

All you gotta do is ask.

Send us a receipt.

There goes your fences.

Yeah, well,
if it means doing them myself, whatever.

Good on you, mate.

I'm surprised to see you here.

There are no sides here, dad.

You're my father, he's my brother.

So you following me back?

When I'm ready.

Hey,
we should have an on-farm sale every month.

Don't need to pay for transport,
we make more money.

There's no guarantee
we'd get the same turnout.

Just a novelty this time.

Sure we would.

Everyone loved it.

Mm.

The other thing is you should
always buy when you sell.

We didn't get a chance to do that,

so our stock numbers are down.

Thanks for dinner, everyone.

It was beautiful.

Are you off?

I'll walk with you.

Just need to get something out of the ute.

You know, your dad is the
best auctioneer I've ever seen.

Yeah, he should take it up professionally.

That would involve him staying in one spot.

Well, what are his plans?

I don't know.

He's staying for the ball.

Wow.

Yeah, I wish he could stay forever.

It was our first week!

How was I supposed to know
you were allergic to peanuts?

Well, there's no way

I was gonna tell you, was there?

You'd gone to so much trouble.

Oh, great.

So then I had to drive you to the hospital

so you could have your stomach pumped.

Yeah, true love.

Was it?

Yeah, for me.

I remember The Doors
were playing on the radio.

The Doors, oh.

Was it really that long ago?

Seems like a moment.

Seems like a heartbeat.

Oh, damn wiring.

I'll grab a torch.

We've got some lightbulbs in the...

No, don't worry about it.

It was so good seeing you both again.

Jodi's a terrific kid.

You've done a great job there, Meg.

I was thinking

I might look for some work locally,
hang around for a bit.

Don't do that.

What?

Don't spin that line.

What do you mean?

How long do you think it'd last?

I'm glad you saw her.

Glad she saw you.

But you've glossed over everything.

And everybody believes you.

Yes, I lied, but so did you.

You were gonna go anyway.

Come on, don't be like that.

Come and dance with me.

Don't do that.

I thought you'd stay.

And you didn't.

I hoped you'd come back, and now you just,

you waltz in here like...

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Don't you see?

You took my heart.

Don't you see?

I left mine behind.
