All language subtitles for McLeods Daughters (2001) - S03E17 - A Slight Interruption (1080p AMZN WEB-DL x265 MONOLITH)

(female vocalization)

Previously on McLeod's Daughters.

(mid-tempo music)

Marry me.

Right now, or can I finish this first?

No, I'm serious, Tess.

Marry me.

And that's the final call at 48,000.

Sold at 48,000 to number 179.

(crowd applauding)

What I've come across is this,

an old stock route that runs

right through our five properties.

Do you know what Harry's up to?

What are you talking about?

He's set up a roadblock,
must have something to do

with the stock route, I think.

He was using me the whole time.

Maybe the road did need work.

The whole thing was bogus and you know it,
Nick.

I mean,
he wanted me to use that stock route

so I could see what a great idea it was.

(baby crying)

It's a little girl. (Laughs)

Isn't she beautiful?

Yes.

(Claire laughing)

(baby crying)

(mid-tempo music)

Who's going into town today?

You are.

Yes, you are.

For the very first time.

Hey, little BOM.

(blows raspberries)

Who said no mushy baby talk?

I was just giving her
tummy a tickle. (Gasps)

(blows raspberries)

BOM?

Baby of McLeod.

Until I can think of
the right name for her.

Don't leave it too long,

the kid might develop an identity crisis.

I'll know it when I hear it.

So did you get any sleep last night?

Ah, more than the night before,

less than the night before that.

So you're not too tired to go?

(scoffs) Just try and stop me.

Who's the prettiest little girl then?

You are.

Yes, you are.

Yes, you are.

Hello.

You sure you've got everything?

Hope so, it's taken us three
days to get ready so far.

Nappies?
Yes.

Wipes.
Yes.

Bunny rug, baby oil, plastic pants?

Yes, yes, yes.

So you won't forget to get my conditioner?

All under control.

I am so looking forward to this, baby girl.

You're only going into
Gungellan to get supplies.

I know, it's exciting, isn't it?

I get to walk around and
see people and order things.

Yeah, whatever turns you on.

Have fun.
Thanks.

G'day, Harry.

So, we decided on a name yet?

We're just waiting for the right one.

Maude, after my grandmother.

Maude McLeod, hm.

Actually, we're in a bit of a hurry, Harry.

No, it's all right, I won't keep ya.

It's about the stock route.

The whole thing needs grading.

I'm more than happy to
cover your section if you like.

No, no, we'll do it ourselves.

Well you better get cracking.

I need to truck some cattle through there

by the end of the week.

So does Sandra.

You mean this week?

No can do, we're busy.

We're going into town and
then we've got things to do.

It's all right, okay, no worries.

I'll grade it myself.

Just pay me when you can.

Pay but...

We'll get it done.

Okay.

(slow music)

You go.

Jod and I can make a start.

No, I said having a baby wasn't going

to slow me down, and I meant it.

My life isn't going to change a bit.

Ah, Claire, the baby.

(mid-tempo music)

♪ 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 oh oh ♪

♪ Oh oh oh oh ♪

♪ You're not alone ♪

♪ Oh oh oh oh ♪

♪ Oh oh oh oh ♪

♪ 'Cause I'll be there ♪

♪ Ooh ♪

It's not even a simple stock route.

It has to be graded.

Anything so Harry can get his trucks

to the highway faster.

(baby crying)

Oh, she's awake again.

Time for a feed.

Oh no, I think she'll be okay.

She's got wind.

No, no, that's hunger.

But I got stuff to do.

Well, a feed will settle her down.

Okay, I'll feed her,
then we'll get started.

Come on.

Tess, if you ever do make it into town,

could you please buy some disposables?

You might as well be asking
me to clear a rainforest.

I'll buy some more cloth ones.

Are you going to wash them?

Tess, Dave called.

He wants you to ring him back

with an answer to his question.

Sure,
I've just gotta go wash some nappies first.

Dave proposed.

How do you know?

Well he said he wanted
an answer to the question.

And we all know what the question is.

Ooh.

Come on, little BOM.

Let's get you fed and sleeping

and then Mummy can grade a stock route.

(percussive music)

Where'd you come from?

Get out of here, go on.

Get out ya filthy thing.

All right, have it your way.

Come on, BOM, we'll just go inside.

(percussive music)

Hello, Mum.

Claire's the name.

I see ya got some friends out there.

Spreading who knows what.

They're no friends of mine.

Joanne.
What?

Baby's name, Joanne.

Like that stock and
station girl you used to see.

Who?

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Joanne, yeah.

What about Linda then?

Nothing out of your little black book,
thanks.

Ah, Harry came to visit us this morning.

Yeah, you and me both.

I was hoping I could borrow your grader

and I'll do your section
in return if you like.

No, we'll do it together,
get it over and done with.

Sure you got the time?

Yep, I'll manage.

(slow music)

It's just a boob.

Yeah, but it's a breastfeeding boob,
Claire,

not a groping boob.

(Claire laughing)

Come on, oh, you're a good boy.

I thought I was going to have

a heart attack in that final straight.

It was so close.

I thought I was going to go deaf,

the way you were screaming.

(both laughing)

Oh, if only he had a better start.

Oh still, anyway, third is good.

Third is very, very, oh yes, here you go.

You're spoiling him.

He deserves it.

(Jake laughing)

Do you think he's going to
need a blanket on the way home?

Nah, it's pretty warm.

Yeah, but it can get breezy.

What?

Nah, I'm just thinking

my next life I'm going to
come back as your horse.

Mm.

Come on.

(gentle music)

You know, I think you can get a fine

driving this far under the speed limit.

We can't go any faster.

We've got our baby onboard.

There's that noise again.

I reckon the float is loose.

Nah, I checked it and I double-checked it,
okay?

Storm Cloud's fine.

(metal rattling)

See?

Hey, boy, how you doing in there?

You good?

Find anything.

Like I said, the float is fine.

Well, let's get him home then.

Okay, but I'm driving.

I wouldn't mind making it
home some time this week.

No way.
Becky.

Good to see a woman in
her natural environment.

Got the day off work.

I thought we could go for a bit of a drive,
bit of a chat.

Sorry, busy.

You've been busy all week.

Well, everything's changed.

With a baby in the house
it's nothing but go, go, go.

Oh.

That'll need fixing.

Oh, it's okay, I can manage.

Oh, I know you can.

But since you won't return
my calls or come for a drive,

I might as well stay.

Well it won't be much fun.

I'm not after fun.

I'm after an answer.

Righto, come on.

(percussive music)

(slow dramatic music)

Yes only takes a second to say.

Oh no.

Emus have wrecked the tap.

Yeah, they're desperate for water.

Claire, it's empty.

Oh, don't worry about the nappies.

We'll use bore water.

At least it'll hide the poo stains.

I'd better tie Roy up in
case he chases the emus.

(percussive music)

Shoo.

Shoo, buzz off. (Screams)

Ow, ooh!

Tried to shoo them away
and one of them pecked me.

I'm bleeding.

Ah.
Here, give us a look.

Came right at me.

It was a great big evil beaked thing.

Are your tetanus shots up to date?

Yeah.

What about BOM?
BOM'll be okay.

I'll go and get my shotty.

You need a permit first.

Dave, we're talking about a
couple of emus here, mate.

Yeah, they're still protected.

Yeah, it's not too bad.

I think I'm the one that needs protecting.

Claire, can you come?

The baby won't settle.

Yeah, yeah, I'll be right there.

You right?

(percussive music)

(baby crying)

Oh, what's the matter?

Oh, darling, come on, BOM.

Come on, oh.

Could be colic.

Cauliflower gone
straight through you to her.

Oh.

She a bit upset, is she?

Mm.

Come to Uncle Terry, hey.

Give me a little cuddle.

Hm, always had the knack.

Nieces, nephews, never a problem.

Look, why don't you take her upstairs

and you can both have a rest.

No, I said I'd help Alex.

Oh, he won't mind.

No, I want to.

Take the whole afternoon.

I'll look after her.

Well then I'll miss a feed.

Who's a little cutie, eh?

Lorraine, Celia? (Laughs)

Crikey, what's that?

A breast pump for expressing milk.

I bought it before the baby was born.

Right, secret women's business.

I'm gone.

Sit down, make yourself comfortable.

(slow music)

Why do we have to rush things?

Why do we have to wait?

It's obvious we belong together.

What do we got in common?

Heaps of things.

Like?

Like we're both good kissers.

Well, I need more than that.

So do I.

That's why we're so compatible.

What about movies?

Give me your top five, see how we compare.

Okay.

Ah, Rocky.

And?

And Rocky II, and Rocky III.

Oh, Rocky III, and IV and V.

I rest my case.

(slow music)

(percussive music)

She's asleep.

We'll there's nothing
express about expressing milk.

Claire, can I suggest when you do feed her

that you take your time
and give her a few breaks.

That'll ease the colic.

I'll add it to the list.

You sore?

Yeah.

Maybe you need some cabbage.

I thought I wasn't meant to eat cabbage.

No, no, not to eat.

You put it in your bra.

There's some in the fridge,
it'd be nice and cold.

Yeah, I'll just get back to work.

You should rest.

Mum sleeps when the baby sleeps.

Well then I'd never get any work done.

Well, let the others do it.

Honestly, you'll exhaust yourself.

I'm fine.

(Meg sighing)

All they do is sleep, cry,
and poo, and that's it.

They're totally useless.

I mean,
they're not like foals who just get born

and are on their feet straight away.

You haven't gone clucky then?

No way.

Tess'll be next, you know,
now that Dave's proposed.

Do you know that?

Nah.

That was quick.

That explains him hanging
around Drover's all the time.

Didn't think Claire needed a vet that much.

Yeah,
well Dave's still waiting for an answer.

He'll be waiting a long time.

We shouldn't even be doing this.

How did Harry even get a permit

to wreck the environment like this?

You know Harry,
just clicks his fingers and hey presto.

Yeah, so he and Sandra
can barrel trucks along here.

Better this than being
charged for it as well.

Oh, you made it.

Yep, what needs doing?

Well, you jump in the loader

and we'll finish clearing this.

I can pull my weight.

All right.

Jodi, come give us a hand.

Oh, Claire, your shirt.

Oh, how did that happen?

Oh shit.

You guys just keep going.

I've just got to um.

You all right?

Yeah, yeah, fine.

(percussive music)

I'm leaking.

Oh, that'll go in time.

What have you got her out here for?

You know what the emus did to Jodi.

I've been with her the whole time.

Yeah, well she should have been upstairs.

Oh, it was so hot she wouldn't settle.

Well, they could have attacked her.

Claire, I'm trying to help.

Yeah well, stop it.

I don't need your help.

(slow music)

You're tired.
I'm not tired.

You need to rest.

Look, will you stop telling me what to do?

It's cabbage, it's colic, she needs a feed,

she needs a rest, I need to lie down.

I just can't stand it anymore.

I'm sorry.

Just leave us alone.

(Terry grunting)

What are you doing here?

I thought I'd save you the trip in.

Amazed you had the time.

Everything all right?

Yep.

Why wouldn't it be?

The thing is, I have had a baby.

I do know what I'm talking about.

Mm-hm.

Claire snapped at me.

Oh.

She said I was interfering.

I was trying to help.

She's just so stubborn.

She won't listen to anyone.

If someone was around when Jodi was born

giving you advice, would you have listened?

I'd have been very grateful.

Mm.

I would've.

Mm, nice hedgehog.

You know, I'm glad not a woman.

So am I.

You'd make a pretty ugly sister.

I mean leaking boobs, Nick.

That's gotta suck, mate.

Well personally, I'm glad I'm not a man.

So am I.

I mean, you guys are always out

trying to prove yourselves.

Oh righto, and you women aren't?

Nah, we know we're good.

You know what we need
is Stan Dixon's eucalyptus.

Great, more trees to clear.

No, he wanted to, but he couldn't

'cause they were protected,
just like the stupid emu.

Legit reason to stop would
come in handy right now.

Yeah, we won't be that lucky.

We could be.

(slow music)

One last question just to prove my point.

Count five ways you've
broken up with someone.

Your turn to go first.

Fine.

I want to become a nun.

But your name's not Maria
and you don't play guitar.

I think I'm a lesbian.

Great, I'm a Taurean.

They get along beautifully.

We're not compatible in the bedroom.

We already know that's not true.

I don't know how to say this

but I'm in love with someone else.

Mm, not possible.

I'm really sorry, it's not you, it's me.

(Dave blows raspberry)

Well, what are your top five?

Never broken up with anyone.

Oh, come on,
everyone's broken up with someone.

Yeah, no, not me.

I'm a stayer.

What about your first wife?

I thought you told me
you were both too young.

Yeah, we were.

That's why she broke up with me.

Hm.
Mm.

We're having a great time.

Why do we have to get married?

I believe in happy endings.

But this isn't a fairytale, it's real.

So who knows what's going to happen?

If you marry me,
it's about as happy as I could get.

One fairytale a lifetime's
not too much to ask, is it?

You know, fairytales always have a quest.

They do.

And there are never any happy endings

until someone has done
something impossible.

And what would the princess request,
I slay a dragon?

Move a mountain?

Stop scratching me bum?

Get me the hair from the back of a unicorn.

And if I fulfill my fair maiden's request,

will she grant me my wish?

(laughs) We'll see.

(Dave vocalizing)

(percussive music)

(baby crying)

All right, need to order some more feed,

some more water.

Oh what?

You can't be hungry.

Even Alex doesn't eat that much.

Oh, oh.

Ooh, ah, ah.

I know that smell, oof.

Nice clean nappy.

(emu grunting)
(Claire gasping)

(percussive music)

(Claire growling)

Come on, BOM.

This is the third time in 30Ks.

I promise you, it won't fall off.

Yeah well, it better not.

Look, he came third this week.

That means first next week.

He is good enough, I know he is.

Spoken like a proud parent.

Yeah, I guess so.

(Jake laughing)

Well let's hope you're more relaxed

if you ever have kids.

When?

Sorry?

Not if, when I have kids.

I'm definitely having children.

Oh, big country brood?

No, just two.

A boy and a girl, Danny and Emma.

And they're going to be close together

so they can be friends.

You have thought about this.

Yeah, ever since I was 13

I always knew I wanted two children.

And a homestead,
picket fence, a couple of cows?

Nice horse.

How'd you know?

I didn't.

There we go.

That's better, isn't it, hey?

Now shall we just go have a wee nap, hey?

A nice wee nap, hm?

(wood banging)

Meg?

(suspenseful music)

(metal clanging)

Meg?

Tess?

(glass smashing)

(Claire gasping)

(dramatic music)

(baby crying)

Meg, Tess, anyone?

(horn honking)

Go away, go!

Claire, what is it?

Open the door, up.

What is it?

Just make them go away, Tess.

What's wrong?

Emus.

Well, let's go inside.

No, no, they're inside.

They were in the study.

They tried to get her.

I'll go and check.

I'll go and check.

We'll go inside.

You get BOM.

Everything will be all right.

Locked her in.

My baby.

You're both safe now.

We're not safe in the house.

I can't go anywhere.

BOM's settled now.

Where's the emu?

Ah, I haven't seen it anywhere

but I locked the study door so...

Why won't they go away?

And nothing works.

We don't even have any water.

I can't do anything.

Claire, you just need to relax.

How can I relax where
there is a million things to do?

I've got supplies to get from Gungellan.

There is the bookwork, the stock route.

I don't even know
where they're at with that.

We'll all help.

Yeah, come on,
you're just having a bad day.

How do you know?

I can't even tell what she wants.

No one knows what to do at first.

It takes time.

Well you managed.

(slow music)

Look,
she can't even keep her milk down with me.

Well, neither did Jodi.

I lived in an absolute
chaos for the first year.

Actually, make that the first three years.

Yeah, you've just taken on too much.

Too much?

I'm not doing anything.

You are.

You just don't realize.

I'm not a mother.

I can't.

I'm no good at it.

There, looks like it's been there forever.

Well, I'm not the one you need to convince.

So where is this damn thing?

It's Dodonaea subglandulifera.

How do you know?

I did a project on it at school,

had to write a 10 page essay,

draw pictures, discuss its habitat.

This is actually quite exciting for me.

Like I said on the phone, Dad,

I don't know what the protocol is.

But until it's sorted,
we have to stop work.

Yeah, this is really rare, Mr. Ryan.

We can't put a stock route over it.

Why's the soil loose?

Alex half knocked it over
before Jodi stopped him.

Yeah, I hope the roots are okay.

Looks like any old plant to me.

Just go around it.

Oh, I wish we could,

but it's the whole
habitat needs protecting.

Yeah, and the fauna that feed off it.

That's the important thing.

We can't damage any of it.

Bugger it.

All right, stop for the minute.

The last thing we need is a
bunch of greenies down here.

Going a bit fast.

Yeah,
well I've gotta make up for lost time.

Claire reckons the baby's going to ride

before she can walk. (Laughs)

Uh-huh.

Said she knew she was a
natural before she was even born.

Do you ever want to have kids?

Well, I can't see what's in it for me.

I hope my kids want to ride.

Maybe I could teach them on Storm Cloud.

Well, back up a minute, all right.

We haven't talked about any of this.

Talked about what?

Well, I've got my own plans too, you know,

and me and you having kids together?

I don't know, it's just...

Who said I meant you?

(slow music)

Just pull up here, Jake.

Beck.

Jake, pull up here please.

Beck, you were dropping all those hints.

The house, the horse, the names.

Don't flatter yourself.

I mean, who would have honestly thought

the only thing I learnt in school
would have come in handy?

Teachers always used to say it,

"One day you'll be glad you know this."

And I was like, yep, right, as if I'm ever

going to need to know about
the natural habitat of a plant.

And yet, here I am all these years later,

not only useful but a situation saver.

Okay, you're angry you
spilled about the children plan,

but there's nothing
you can do about it now.

I never said that I wanted them tomorrow.

And what's wrong with having a plan?

Nothing.

Well expect it's a bit weird.

Oh come on, Beck, some guy says to you

he wants two kids 14 months apart.

Their names are Warren and Nicky.

Danny and Emma.

Fine.

You want a house with a white picket fence

and a dog called Spot and
then you live happily ever after?

I think that's enough to spook anyone out.

I never said anything about a dog.

Hey.

Heard you spent the day emu wrangling.

Don't you start.

Junior's tired, huh?

You want me to put her in her cot?

No, I don't want to move her.

Tess call you?

They're worried about me.

That'll be because you're a worry.

Come on, put your mitt in.

(slow music)

What's this?
Come on.

I can see it's the only way
you're going to choose a name.

Alexandra.

That was a lucky choice.

Gee, you'd be called Alex for short.

Oh yeah, good name.

Gimme.

Come here, Alexandra.

Yes, little bubs.

Little bubs, yeah little bubs.

Oh look, Mummy's asleep.

Yes, she's asleep.

Come on.

(mid-tempo music)

(baby crying)

(Claire humming)

You don't like that one, do you?

(Claire humming)

(baby crying)

(baby farting)

Not a fan, huh?

And then when I was five, Dad thought,

oh, maybe I should try a few jumps.

So I...

(yawns) I.

Hello, hm.

Look at her little tummy, huh?

She likes the bath, it's nice and cool.

You see that?

She smiled when she heard your voice.

I know you don't want everything to change

now that you've got a baby.

Who was I kidding?

It'll never be the same.

Doesn't mean it's gonna
change for the worse.

No, but I'm scared

that if I turn my back,
BOM will stop breathing,

or I'll drop her,

or something will happen to me

or something will happen to you.

I'm just scared, Tess.

(slow music)

You want to know what I think?

Oh, maybe just this once.

I think you're used to being in control.

You get up early, you go to the horses,

check on the stock, mustering,
drenching, on and on.

And never will again.

Of course you will.

But right now this little bundle here

needs your undivided attention, don't you?

And you can't fight that no
matter how hard you try, huh?

Yes.

Hi.

Hi.

Look, about yesterday,

I just really want to say I'm sorry.

Forget it.

I'm sorry too.

I've never had anything
as precious as Storm Cloud

and I guess I can be
a little overprotective.

Just a little.

And as far as kids are concerned,
that's a long way off.

It was a plan I created when I was 13.

I needed a whole fantasy
world because mine wasn't.

You're not the only one

who's wanted things to be different.

I mean, I changed my name.

You need a hand?

Sure.

Bloody Harry, bringing in an expert.

I knew this would be trouble.

Where do you find a botanist anyway?

Yellow Pages.

Morning, everyone.
Hey.

Morning.

Is this the specimen?

Mm.

Yeah,
I couldn't believe it when I found it.

(slow music)

The pod ridge,
lack of thickenings on the calyx.

Is it protected?

Well, I won't check my books

but it seems to be a
Dodonaea subglandulifera.

See, told ya.

And that's protected?

It's a startling find.

Well, it's not very big.

Can't we just move it?

I don't think you understand
how important this is.

That plant is incredibly rare.

To find it growing here in that spot,

well, it's highly unlikely,
almost impossible.

How come?

Well, it's generally only found

on the Yorke Peninsula and Flinders Ranges.

How'd it get here?

I don't know.

Only place I've ever seen
one is Bruce Medford's.

What, the native nursery bloke?

Yeah, got every species possible.

Good.
Ow.

That's just who I am, sorry. (Laughs)

My poor hand.

Hang on, you lot, not going anywhere.

How thick do you think I am?

(slow music)

Hey.

I just came to get my jobs

and say thanks for letting
me have the day off yesterday.

No worries.

Is that straight?

Yeah.

Now don't worry about the top one.

I can do that myself.

Are you sure?
Yep.

I can handle feeding the horses.

How's BOM?

Sleeping.

Last night?

Awake 1:00 a.m., 3:30, 5:20.

I don't know how you do it.

Neither do I.

Well how was I meant to
know it wasn't from around here?

You did write a 12 page
essay outlining its habitat.

Feeding the emus?

No, I'm locking it away.

What are you doing back?

Ah, getting the grader.

The stock route's open again.

So what happened to
the great plant escapade?

We stuffed up.

Well it did make Harry blink though.

So come on, Tess, spill.

You said yes yet?

To what?

Are you going to marry Dave?

(slow music)

(scoffs) Where'd you get that?

Oh, when he rang.

Some truth in it then?

Yeah.

And?

And I'm still thinking about it.

Poor bastard.

Why, I don't like to rush things, so...

That's your standard answer though,
isn't it?

Well this is the rest of my
life we're talking about here.

Do you love him?

Yes, I do.

Then what's the problem?

There's Mum.

Oh, you got her changed.

Yeah, easy.

Actually she's been asking for ya.

Is that right?
Mm.

She really likes the name Alexandra.

(laughs) Well that's me done for the day.

Finished already?

Yep, I'm exploiting the workers now.

Yeah?

Hello, little bubby.

(baby vocalizing)

I think that might mean she needs a feed.

You speak baby too, huh?

Learning.
All right.

Get a load of this.

(upbeat music)

They're leaving.

Must be your lucky day, huh?

Well, they've done all the
damage they can around here.

There's nothing left to eat.

We are never going to get this done,
not in a week.

If we hadn't stopped for a botany lesson.

Hey, do you think Harry

would believe this is a sacred site?

I did a project once...

Forget about it.

Hey,
looks like they're heading for Killarney.

Probably worked out
it's the nearest takeaway.

(slow music)

Get rid of 'em.

Tried.

Well try harder.

Well, it's hopeless.

They found your feed.

It was meant to last a week.

Have to buy some more.

Yeah well, I shouldn't have to.

You can't have your cattle

dying on your stock route, Harry.

Lunch won't be long.

Thanks.

Look, I...
Claire.

When I first had Jodi my mother-in-law

tried to take over everything.

No matter what I did, it was never right.

Used to drive me crazy.

So if I,

I don't want to be like that.

You're not.

Look,
what you said before about cabbage leaves,

have you still go any?

In a plastic bag in the fridge.

Bottom shelf right at the back.

I can't believe I'm about

to turn my bra into a salad bowl.

Oh, I thought we might have lunch

on the veranda if you think it's safe.

Yeah, I think it is.

Oh,
and I noticed bub has a spot of nappy rash.

I've got a great cream in there,

used to work a treat on Jodi.

(clears throat) Fear not, my fair maiden.

Your Prince Charming has returned.

What are you doing?

I have moved mountains.

I've slayed dragons.

Even stopped scratching me bum.

But no,
it wasn't enough to satisfy my princess.

What are you hiding?

Behold,
I found a hair from the back of a unicorn.

Yeah right.

Come on, fella.

Ta-da!

That's a rabbit.

Yes, no, it's a hare.

And I found him out the
back of the Unicorn Pub.

In Fisher?

An official letter signed by the publican

and all the boys in the front bar.

And now that I have fulfilled my task,

Tess McLeod, will you marry me?

(slow music)

Well, everyone's entitled

to at least one fairytale in their life.

Is that a yes?

Yes.

Yes!

(crowd cheering)

Hey, Tess, saw Dave was back again.

Yeah, he dropped in a present.

Really?

Was it something nice
like a nice piece of jewelry?

No, he gave me a rabbit.

Oh.

Hey, what's this?

Oh, that's Alex's lucky dip for names.

Alexandra?

Oh.

Tess.

Alexandra.

Are they all, (laughs) he's an idiot.

(baby laughing)

Isn't that funny, hey?

Isn't Alex just the funniest thing, yes?

I have thought of a name.

Oh yeah, what?

Charlotte.

(slow music)

Why Charlotte?

It's my middle name.

It's pretty.

What's hers?

Prudence, after Mum.

Charlotte Prudence McLeod.

Oh, that's beautiful.

Yeah.

(slow music)

Wipes?

Oh yeah, should be there
under the nappy liner thingies.

Oh yeah, got them.

And spare clothes.

For Charlotte and for me.

Feed her as soon as we get there.

Yep, she'll be wanting it.

Oh, mustn't forget the nappies.

Cloth ones?

Disposables, you know,

just a few packs for emergencies.

That's a good idea.
Yeah.

I'll get the groceries,
the cattle supplies.

You go to the bank.

We'll let her sleep on the way home.

We should be back in time for dinner.

Yeah, something like that.

Let's just see how it goes.

Sure.

There's no rush.

You driving?

No, you drive.

I'll just enjoy the ride.

(slow music)

Oh, with the groceries,

make sure you buy some more cabbages.

I thought we had plenty growing.

I've used them all.

Meg can plant some more.

I can't wait that long.
