[theme music playing]

[Julie] There are people
to whom some things

just come naturally.

People who act on instinct,

yet know just the right thing
to do.

The right advice to give,

the right ingredients to add.

People who stopped using
recipes years ago.

[singer] ♪ Well miss
Magnolia, you just... ♪

[Julie] People like me.

Somehow I always got
the mix right.

Always the right approach
in times of change.

My strike rate
is exceptional.

[alarm buzzing]

[Julie] Just like it is
with baking.

[gasps]

No.

No, no, no, no, no,
this isn't right.

Wha...no! Oh!

Something was very wrong.

[Ben] Oh, Brown's.

-I love their cakes.
-[Julie] Huh!

You getting slack
in your old age, mom?

What happened
to the domestic goddess?

[Julie] You know what?
Maybe she needs a holiday,

a well-deserved break.
You ever thought about that?

-Okay. Hey mum...
-What?

[Ben] Can you talk to Chrissy
and while you're at it,

ask her not to marry Carbo?

-Oh Ben...
-[Ben] No, come on.

You don't seriously think
it's a good idea?

I mean, Chrissy's great
and everything

but Carbo's not ready.

He's just mad
with his parents.

Well why don't you talk
to him?

-I mean he's your friend.
-Yeah exactly.

That's why I can't say
anything.

-[sighs]
-[Ben] Oh come on, mom.

You're so good at these things
and you always know

the right thing to say
so talk to Chrissy, please.

And while you're at it,

-get him to call us.
-Oh Rita--

[Rita] Oh, speak
to your friend.

Tell her to send my boy home.

Well they're both adults.

I can't exactly
hand out orders.

Nick is a puppy.

He doesn't know
what he's doing.

But this woman...
You're the only one

who can make her
come to her senses.

Look, she's just got engaged,
she's over the moon.

I don't want to go on
and rain on her parade.

[Chrissy] Oh. What the hell
was I thinking?

I cannot get married
to Carbo.

I mean I love him
but it's not right.

But how can I tell him
that, Jules?

You know he is so excited
about the wedding.

[Julie] Um, Chrissy
what are you looking for?

My mobile phone. Carbo said
he was going to ring

because he's out there
right now

buying me a big surprise.

And we all know
what that means.

Oh, but he wouldn't have
the money

for a diamond ring, would he?

Taking us back
to the topic at hand.

I mean this whole thing
is just crazy.

[Julie] Oh, it must be hard.

I mean he's such a lovely boy.

[Chrissy] Yeah,
who's prepared to sacrifice

his whole family for me.

You know I don't want that.

Oh, he hasn't called.
Thank God.

Jules, I don't know
what to do.

You've got to help me.

I mean there's no easy
way out.

Either way, Carbo gets hurt.

[Julie] All right, well just,
you know, calm down.

There's a solution here.
There always is.

Just marry him now
and then divorce him

-in a year or so.
-What?

What kind of advice is that?

Well I'm just saying
the stigma about divorce

isn't what it used to be.

I mean you could have
the wedding now

and get lots of presents.

[Chrissy] Jules,
I love a gift registry

as much as the next person
but is that really

the best foundation
for a happy marriage?

No. No, uh, you're right.

I have no idea
what I'm saying. Sorry.

How'd it go?
Wedding on or off?

Oh, no idea.

Chrissy's confused
and I was no help.

Sometimes
there's no easy answer.

Or maybe you're just losing
your touch.

Oh.

Jules I was just, uh,
just kidding.

No, no may, you know
maybe you're right.

I gave Chrissy
ridiculous advice.

No idea where it came from.

I mean everything
just feels off today.

Did I tell you about my cake?

-Cake? What--
-Dead.

Tasteless, flat as a pancake.

I had to buy one
from the shop.

You make it sound
like a hanging offence.

Something's not right with me.

I can feel it.

We'll see if we can change
that.

-[Sammy] Hello darlings!
-[Julie] Oh.

I thought Nathan
was picking her up?

[Dave] No, he got a flat tire
on the way to the airport.

-Oh. Hi.
-Hi. How are you?

-How was it?
-Welcome back.

Oh, New York was amazing.

I don't even know
where to start.

Well how about
with some coffee?

Sounds great. Please tell me
there's a piece of cake

with my name on it too.

Yeah, I think
I can arrange that.

-Um--
-Oh, my bags!

Yeah it's all right.

I've got them covered.

Oh thanks. There's, um,

a few more than I left with.

[Ben] Oh, my God
this is awesome!

I hope it's your size.

Oh, an iPod !

Well I heard yours
got nicked.

[chuckles]

[Rachel] Oh my gosh,
the art director's annual?

Oh this is meant
to be brilliant.

Yeah, and the drawing kit
goes with it.

Oh, 3D. I love it!

Thank you. Thank you Sam.

-Pajamas, great.
-[laughs]

They're Calvin Klein.

-Yeah.
-Yeah. Feel the fabric.

It's Israeli cotton.

And there's a pair
for you too. Pinstripe.

Oh, you shouldn't have,
Sammy but thank you.

[Sammy] That's all right.

Well aren't you going
to open yours?

Sammy, you...you,
you bought so much.

You should see how much
I bought Nathan. [laughs]

Darling, you know husbands
tend to get a little concerned

when we come home
with too many shopping bags.

[Sammy] Oh, well no.
It wasn't our money

I was spending. Mom, gave me
an early birthday present

so not too naughty.

[Julie] But would Nathan
see it that way?

I had to say something.

[gasps] Chanel?

[Sammy] Well I knew
it was your favorite.

And look Donna Karan
sunglasses.

Your other ones were falling
apart and I thought...

[Julie] Oh, darling,
thank you.

[laughs]

[Sammy] Now you don't think
Nathan will be too mad?

Oh, no. Just maybe
give him a couple

and hide the rest.

Yeah.

[Ben] G'day Derek.

Thought you had a crook back.

Yeah, I do. But thought
I better give the old girl

a bit of a scrub.

She's going to be on TV.

-[Ben] On the telly?
-Yeah.

Tomorrow morning.
The Breakfast Show

are coming down.
They're gonna be doing

the weather from over there

and I think there's some joker
going to be swimming

between the bridges.

I'm going to do
a sausage sizzle.

Why don't you come down?

Ah it's a bit early
for me mate.

[Derek] No, come on. Be great.

Bring your girlfriend.
What's her name?

Uh, Melissa?

Yeah we, we kind of broke up.

Oh, that's a shame.

-Quite liked her.
-Yeah.

So did I mate.

So did I.

What's the big surprise?

Check this out.

-Wow. How much?
-Five grand.

Seriously?
Can you afford that?

Yeah. I sold the Torana

me and Chrissy
were working on.

-Try it on.
-What?

Well you've got skin
like Chrissy.

I want to see
what it looks like.

Uh, right now I'm not sure
which one

of those two statements
is scaring me more.

Come on, mate. Try it on.

Come on.

Try the pinky.

What do you think?

It's nice.

Especially when it catches
the light.

Yeah. The gold
looks good on you.

-Yeah.
-[laughs]

Hey Ben,

didn't take you long to get
back on the horse, mate.

You know you got him
on the rebound, don't you?

-[chuckles]
-[Derek] Hey don't forget,

6:00 am tomorrow morning
if you want to get your mug

on the television, okay?

And, um, bring your fiance.

Shut up, Derek.

-[Derek laughs]
-Funny man.

-[grunts] It's coming.
-It better be.

Hey, do you think
this is a sign?

Just get it off
your finger, mate.

[romantic music playing]

I'm really sorry
about the car, babe.

I wanted to be there
to pick you up.

Lucky really.

I mean the kind of reception
I was planning

we would've got arrested
if it happened at the airport.

-Is that so?
-[Sammy] Mmm-hmm.

-I need to take a shower.
-Um, no you don't.

-No I don't. No I don't.
-[chuckles]

[screams]

[Nathan] Whoa.

-[Sammy laughs]
-You okay?

[Sammy] Yes. Nothing's broken.

-What's that?
-What?

-[Nathan] That.
-[Sammy] Oh, it's for you.

You can try it on later.

Oh, Nathan.

[Nathan] How much did it cost?

Well the thing is everything
over there is so cheap.

And it was on sale,
so technically

I was saving money,
not spending it.

So what was the exact saving
that we made?

Well the thing
is that my mom gave me

-some money for my birthday.
-Right.

Naughty, I know.

But I was in New York
and she insisted.

Now come here.

All I could think about
when I saw it in the shop

was how hot you'd look in it.

I wanted to get you
something special.

Well, Sam in case
you'd forgotten,

I don't wear suits anymore.

I mean dad wouldn't care
if I wore pajamas to work.

[Sammy] Yeah, but you'll need
one soon.

[Nathan] Look Sam, thank you.

Thank you so much but,
I should probably take

the car down
to the tire place.

-Right now?
-Yeah.

I put the spare on
so I should probably,

not be driving around
without one.

Uh, welcome home.

Yeah. Thanks.

Tres stylish.

[Julie] Mmm.

Yes I think so. [laughs]

[sighs]

Oh, what's wrong?

Libby's asked me to get
a place with her.

-[Julie] Oh.
-I think maybe I should.

-Well good.
-Good?

Uh, yeah well no,
not good for me.

-Good for you.
-[Rachel] Is it?

Well if I don't go now,
when will I?

I mean, Libby would be great
to live with.

But I don't know.

I feel safe here.
What do you think?

Well sometimes being safe's
being trapped.

I mean you're young.
Go live your life.

Give your father and me
some space around here.

So you want me to go?

Absolutely. Go.

In fact,
why are you still here?

[laughs]

Yeah. I might just go

and get a glass of water.
I'm feeling a bit strange.

What the hell
am I talking about?

[Carbo] Getting engaged
was the best thing I ever did.

[Ben] It's also the quickest
decision you ever made.

-So?
-Are you sure you know

-what you're doing?
-When I proposed

something inside me
went click.

You know,
it was the first time

I felt like a man.

You don't know how that feels.

Thanks mate. No, I don't.

What about Melissa?

Yeah, what about her?

Propose to her.
Ask her to marry you.

Uh, considering
she's not even talking to me,

that could be a bit difficult.

Propose. She'll come back
to you.

-Carbo--
-She will.

And then we can have
a double wedding

and we can go on a honeymoon.

To the Indy on the Gold Coast.

Mate, if you're inviting
friends

on your honeymoon,
that's not a good sign.

Just ask.
What've you got to lose?

I've got it. It's genius.

Melissa watches
the Breakfast Show.

-So?
-So they're coming

here tomorrow.

You just need to get
yourself in front

of the camera
with a dirty big sign.

-What?
-You see idiots doing it

all the time.

Hold up a sign and ask Melissa

to marry you.
She'll love it!

That's it.
I'm taking you home.

No, no, no. Not yet.

Don't you want to go home
so Chrissy can try on

-the Torana?
-Hey we got the rest

of our lives for that.

Tonight, you and me,
celebrate.

Tony, two tequila slammers.

[Julie] No, he's gonna be
staying here tonight.

Yeah, no, he's fine.
He's just tired.

Yeah I will.

Bye Chrissy.

Oh, missed one.

So, celebratory drinks?

He's just so pumped
about getting married.

No second thoughts then?

It's like he's born again.

-Hey, mom?
-[Julie] Mmm?

Do you remember that girl
that I had a crush

on in year 11?

Uh, Janine Cooper?

Yeah, Janine.

Remember how I was always
calling her

but she was always busy?

-And then you said--
-There's a fine line

between romance
and a restraining order.'

Yeah, that.

Anyway the thing is
I've been trying

to get in touch with Mel

but she's not calling me back.

The Breakfast Show

are coming to the Marina

and I was thinking
of holding up a sign

for the cameras. You know,
saying that I love you.

I want it to be romantic.

But like you said,
I don't want to end up

with an AVO.

[Julie] It didn't seem
like that hard a dilemma.

But once again,
I was out of my depth.

-Oh, Benno--
-You right mate?

Tell me a story.

They lived happily ever after.

[Julie] Knowing my answer
might determine

my son's future happiness,

I thought it safer
to flip a coin.

[Ben] So, what do you think?

Oh, I think you should
go for it.

-It's a great idea.
-Really?

-Yep. Yeah.
-Really?

-All right.
-[Julie laughs]

Thanks mom.
You're the best mom.

[Carbo snoring]

[Ben] Carbo. Carbo, come on.

Wakey wakey.

Man don't, don't do that man.

These things can kill.

-We've got to go.
-[Carbo] Are you serious?

What, what time is it?
It's 5:00 am.

-[Ben] Come on, we'll be late.
-Oh, late for what?

Well I'm doing what you said.
Sort of.

[Carbo] What...what did I say?

Well you told me
to propose to Melissa

but I don't think
that I'm going to do that.

Mate are you serious?
She's not even returning

-your phone calls.
-Yeah, thanks mate.

I know. Well proposing's
totally over the top

but I am going to be on telly.

What do you think?

The lettering is shocking.

Well as long
as she can read it.

Yeah, but you can read that

from a space shuttle.

Okay. Come on.
We've got to go.

I'll drop you at Chrissy's.

-Hey Ben?
-Yeah?

Um, where's the...

Where's the ring?
If it's not here

-I'll kill myself.
-Just relax.

It was in a box.
If there's no box...

[Ben] Look, maybe
it's some kind of sign.

-Or an omen even.
-Of what?

It kind of looks like the ring
doesn't want to end up

-on Chrissy's finger.
-Shut up.

You don't know
what you're talking about.

Oh, look!

How's that for a sign?

Oh, no. I'm dead.

-I'll call the cops.
-I'm a dead man.

I'll call the cops.

Excuse me, have you seen an
engagement ring?

I just found it.

I only wanted to try it on.

[Carbo] Lady,
you're a life savor.

[woman] The thing is,
I've tried everything

-and it's stuck.
-It's okay, don't panic.

We'll get it off
no matter what.

So what exactly is Ben doing?

[Julie] Something romantic.
Just wait and see.

[Chrissy] Knock, knock.

-[Julie] Oh, hi.
-Hey. Door was open.

Thought I'd come and take
Carbo off your hands.

Oh, you missed him. He and Ben
have gone off together.

Hey mom, they're filming
at the Boat Club.

Oh, come and see.
We might see them.

-See them do what?
-Something romantic

-apparently.
-[laughs]

Ooh.

-So we're goin' to start...
-[Julie] Oh, here we go.

It's not too late
to sponsor Kerry

and remember
all the money goes

to The Poverty Awareness
Foundation.

So call,
or visit their website.

[Ben] Stop poking,
let me through.

-There's Ben.
-[Nathan] Oh, yeah.

[Ben] Come on, guys. Fair go.

-[man] Mate. Come on.
-No.

-Hey, hey, hey. Just...
-Come on, give me the sign.

-Leave me alone.
-Give me the sign.

We seem to have a slight
technical problem.

-[Ben] No. No. No.
-Give me the sign.

No, no. Give me back my sign!

[man] What the hell's
going on?

-[Ben] You ruined it!
-Um...

[Ben] Idiot!

[man] Okay Kerry, quickly,

-tell us how do you prepare...
-Excuse me.

[man] ...for a 50k swim?

Melissa, Melissa I love you.

-I love you! Call me.
-[man] Oh, come on just get

-this idiot out of here!
-Please, please--

[man] Well, that's the meaning
of live TV, folks.

Well Melissa wasn't returning
his calls.

Well tell him
not to hold his breath.

-Oh, what was he thinking?
-He just wanted

to show her how he felt
about her, that's all.

By making a complete fool
of himself?

[Nathan] Who told Ben
that that was a good idea?

Hey.

Oh, why didn't you wake me?

[Nathan] I thought you said
you wanted to sleep in.

[Sammy] No. I said
I wanted to stay in.

I don't have to work
till later today.

[Nathan] Yeah. Well I do.

-No you don't.
-Sam.

Dave won't mind if you wag.

He will.

Okay, if I don't sort out
his schedule,

it stuffs up his day.

-Sorry.
-Your loss.

I might not be
in the mood later.

What are you doing?

[Nathan] I'm looking
for my sneakers.

Oh. No, no, no.
They're over there.

[Nathan] What's this?

It's just stuff
I haven't got round

to unpacking yet.

Kiss me.

No, Sam seriously.

I've got to go to work.

Okay.

Well, um, dad
wants to see us today.

Yeah, I can't, I'm busy.

Well can't we see him
after work?

Not today. Can we swing
around there tomorrow maybe?

Well he said it's important.

So fob him off.
Make up a story.

I'm sure you'll think
of something.

You're good at that.

Chrissy.

Oh, sorry I'm late.

I couldn't start the car.

Michael sorted it out
of me luckily.

Well the agent has left

but I had a look
and it's really nice.

-[Libby] Oh.
-And he says he can take us

through tomorrow
so long as no one else

puts in an application first.

Oh, Lib this is the place
where my mates used to live.

Oh, Michael used
to go to drama school.

And apparently they had
some really awesome parties.

Absolutely.

Oh, where we're standing
right now,

I know I've woken up
in a pool of my own vomit.

-Probably more than once.
-[laughs]

-Good times.
-Oh, yeah.

[Rachel] Do your mates
still live here?

Should I buy a pair
of earplugs?

[Libby] Oh, no. We'll leave
that for the neighbors.

Not that we'll be going out
of our way

-to disturb your peace.
-At least not all the time.

Michael knows
so many cool people.

We are going to have
the best parties.

Let's just put
in an application then.

Libby hasn't even seen
the place yet.

[Michael] Oh, don't worry
about it. You'll love it.

Anyway, someone else
might get the place.

Oh, yeah,
you're probably right.

I really think you should
just have a look around,

especially if you're going
to commit to a lease.

All right. All right
fair enough.

This is going to be awesome!

[Libby chuckles]

[indistinct chatter]

It's all cued up.
Just plug her in, Ben.

Great. Hope I didn't look
like too much of an idiot.

[Derek] No.

Kerry, quickly, tell us

how do you prepare
for a 50k swim?

Melissa, I love you. Call me.

[man] Oh, come on. Just get
this idiot out of here.

-Please, please.
-[laughter]

[man] Well,
that's the meaning

of live TV, folks.

Boat came up a treat, eh?

[Rachel] Grandad, you know
those aren't daywear, right?

Blame the Israeli cotton.

They're too comfortable
to take off.

-[Julie] Hey.
-[Rachel] Oh, hey.

-Give you a hand.
-Oh, thanks darling.

[Julie] So how are you?
Did you see the place?

-Yeah.
-Oh, don't tell me.

It was a horrible cockroaches,
leaking toilets--

No, it was actually quite nice

but I think I'm having
second thoughts. I--

[Ben] Did you see it? Did you?

I look like a total dickhead!

Uh, we're in the middle
of something here, Ben.

Hey, my life is over!

People recognize me
on the street.

-I'm on YouTube!
-Send me the link,

I'll have a look.

Mel's never gonna speak
to me again.

Ben, you're not the only one
with problems.

-Mom and I are having--
-I was humiliated

on national television.
What have you got

-that's going to top that?
-Mom, have you got a second?

-No, she hasn't!
-Take a ticket.

I've got
a real emergency here.

You are such a drama queen.

Oh, that's really rich
coming from you.

Hey enough! You sound
like a bunch

-of five year olds.
-Mom, why didn't you try

-and stop me?
-I'm so...

Proud of yourselves?

[sobs]

What's the matter?

I had a flush.

What?

A hot flush.

You don't looked flushed.

I'm clammy. See?

Whoa, yeah, you are.

Yeah, that is clammy.

-Thanks.
-You're clammy, so--

It's the first sign.

Rita was right.

I'm menopausal.

-Julie, it was a warm day.
-[Julie] No, I felt

like I was on fire, Dave.

Don't you think
you might be--

[Julie] Oh, what?
I'm overreacting?

-Uh...
-[Julie] Look I'm...

I...I know what this is.
Okay, I'm moody,

I'm hormonal, now I'm clammy.

And the kids...
I can't...

I can't help them.

I can't even deal with them.

See?

-Come on.
-[sobs]

[Julie] There's no doubt
about it.

It's menopause.

What makes you think that?

[Julie] Oh. headaches, check.

Tiredness, check.

Irritability, check.

Depression, loss of sleep,
check, check.

Look, you're just trying
to talk yourself into it,

like the time you thought
you had cholera.

Oh, will you still love me
if I lose my figure?

Yeah. I'll even help you
look for it.

Lack of self-esteem, check.

-Oh...
-Night sweats, check!

-[Dave] Since when?
-Well last night for starters.

It was humid.
I was sweating.

Maybe I'm in menopause?

Look, crawling
and itching sensations

under the skin, check.

Look, why don't you have
a chat to Rita

and maybe she can give you
a little bit more perspective.

Mom, sorry do you have
a minute to talk now?

Oh, darling you know what?
I don't.

Why don't you talk
to your father.

Okay, sure. Okay.

-Hi.
-Hi.

Um, so you know how
I went house hunting today

-with Libby?
-Mmm-hmm. How'd it go?

It went great.

But, uh...

her boyfriend is a bit
of a package deal.

-Yeah.
-[Rachel] You know, parties

ending in pools of vomit.

So, I'm a bit worried
that it's all going

to end up a nightmare.

But I don't wanna tell her
that because I'm afraid

she'll get massively offended.

Okay well just tell her
the same way you told me.

It's not like
you're having a go at her.

And, uh, get her to take out
the lease in her name.

That'll make moving out easier
if things go wrong.

Mmm-hmm.
Very clever, old man.

Okay. Anything else?

I think I'm just beginning
to hit my straps.

[Rita] You've got to eat well
and exercise.

You'll feel better all round.

And that'll stop me bursting
into tears, will it?

-Avoid stress.
-Oh, easier said than done.

[Rita] I know.

Did you speak
with your friend?

Not that we're talking
about me or my problems

of course.

Oh, Chrissy loves Carbo.

She'd never want to do
anything to hurt him.

But having said that, I think
she's starting to wonder

if she's doing
the right thing.

I am sure that
she's a very nice person

but she is not right
for my Nick.

Oh, all right
when I see her at work

I'll talk to her, okay?

The best thing for everyone
is to call it off.

Please, Julie, have some.

Didn't you just say something
about eating right?

Yes. Or you could just do

what everyone else does.
Concede defeat.

[laughs] Yum.

You won't be wearing
a miniskirt ever again,

that's for sure.

[dramatic music playing]

I'm sorry.

-What for?
-I wrecked dinner.

The pasta's soggy
and the sauce is burnt.

There are worse things
that could happen.

It was meant to be perfect.

Well, twenty five bucks
a bottle, if that isn't,

it'd wanna be pretty close.

Carbo, um, I think we should
have a glass of wine

and talk about the future.

I'm sorry, Chrissy.
I just...

[Chrissy] Hey it's just pasta.
Don't worry.

[Carbo]
Yeah but it's not that.

I mean, you're hot,
you're funny,

you speak car
and you're fantastic.

And I wanted everything
to be perfect for you but--

You know what?
Sometimes that's the trouble.

You know,
you get so caught up

in the romance of a situation

that you lose your head a bit

and sometimes, Carbo, you...
you make decisions

that aren't necessarily
the right ones.

But it's just that
everything went wrong

and then I started to think.

You know, maybe it's a sign.

And it's not that
I don't love you because...

Oh, my God.
What?

You don't want to get
married either?

[Julie] Nathan?
What's wrong?

Hey?
Oh, nothing.

-You not hungry?
-No, no.

-I guess not.
-Mmm. It's not like you.

Sammy's been going
to her parents

for money behind my back.

Is this about
the shopping spree?

Well and the fact
that she lied to me

-about her plane ticket.
-What?

[Nathan] She told me that
Monique's dad... Oh, look.

It doesn't... It's...
Doesn't matter.

-It's not...
-Well no, no it does matter.

I mean have you talked
to her about it?

I've let it go for so long now

it feels weird bringing it up.

Well you know I think
it's pretty clear

what you need to do.
You should...

Yeah. You have to ask her
about the tickets.

You can't keep things
to yourself.

I did with Melissa.
Now look what happened to me.

Mom, what do you think?

[Ben] Just don't accuse Sammy
of stuff

unless you know for sure.

Otherwise it'll blow up
in your face.

Thank you.

Righto.

[dramatic music playing]

This is a much better meal.

I guess this is kind of like
our dinner.

You know how some people
have our song.

I was serious, Chrissy,
about wanting to marry you.

I know. But neither of us
are ready for that.

But I thought I was.

Then I got scared.

You know, you wanted exactly
what I wanted,

for everything to stay
as it was

but it couldn't.

Your parents just
brought things to a head.

I'm sorry.

I'm not.

You made me happy.

-I sold the Torana.
-[Chrissy] What? Why?

Oh, you shouldn't have spent
so much money.

[Carbo] Told you.

I just wanted it
to be perfect.

Well, how'd you get
my ring size?

I was sneaky.

[laughs] Oh, it's gorgeous.

You want to keep it?

No, no...
It's perfect.

That's enough for me.

Okay well, um, guess
I should be heading off.

Well do you want me
to give you a lift?

No, no.
It's fine.

I'll crash
at my cousin's place.

He lives near the station.

Go home, Carbo.

Go home to your mom and dad.

Wish me luck.

[dramatic music playing]

[crickets chirping]

[Theo] What happened?

[Carbo]
Chrissy and I broke up.

Nick.
Are you staying or...

I don't feel like talking
about it.

Fine.

Fine just sit down darling.

-Have you eaten?
-Yes, mom.

So, what are you gonna do now?

Don't know.
Have an early night?

-He means generally.
-Mom--

[Rita]
Nick, we're worried about you.

We just want the best
for you, yeah?

We want you to stand
on your own feet.

Why don't you get it, mom?
I'm not moving back to Lesbos

and I'm not working in a cafe.

Fine.
No cafe.

Your uncle Saki
has the biggest

furniture outlet in Mytilini.

I don't want to sell
furniture either!

Oh, tell him, Theo.

You'd start
on the ground floor,

-learn the business.
-It's not the life I want,

dad.
I'm not uncle Saki.

You're turning your nose up
at us now.

You're too good
to get your hands dirty

like the rest of the family.

You did it hard
and you did good.

By yourselves.
That's what I want to do

and I'll make
my own decisions.

Because the ones
you've made so far

have been fantastic, right?

[Carbo] You know what I loved
about Chrissy the most?

I don't think that's anything
your mother needs to hear.

She never treated me
like a kid.

Look, I'm not moving
to Greece.

I'm staying here
and getting a job.

Look, I made mistakes before
and I've learnt.

You just have to trust me.

Mom, I have to do this.

[sobbing]

I have missed you so much.

I only want the best
for you, my baby.

-I love you.
-Yeah. I love you too, mom.

Oh, my Nicko such a man.

Oh my little Nicko.

But there's gonna be rules.

I brought you these.

-Oh.
-I can't stay.

Thank you.
Oh, yum.

I just wanted to tell you
that Nick came home.

-Oh?
-Since when?

It happened tonight.

-Didn't your friend tell you?
-Right.

-[Rita] The engagement's off.
-Okay. No, no, no.

So, uh, so it's over?

Whatever you said
to her worked.

How's Nick taking it?

He'll be fine.

And now that
everything's sorted,

we've decided to go back
to Greece just Theo and I.

-When are you going?
-[Rita] Next week.

But don't worry,
we'll get together

before we leave.

Thanks again, Julie.
Thank you.

Oh, it's all right.

[Rita] Do you really
like my baklava?

Yeah. I'll say.

[Rita] [laughs]
I'll make you some more.

[Julie laughs]

-See you.
-Bye.

-[Rita] Bye.
-[Dave] See?

Everything's sorted
with Chrissy, Rita's happy.

All is well in the world.

I didn't sort Chrissy out.

When I left her
she was paralyzed

-with indecision.
-[Dave] And it all worked out.

-That's the main thing.
-She did it without my help.

-Hi.
-Oh, hi.

-[Sammy] Baklava? Mmm.
-Help yourself.

Thanks.

[Julie] Normally I would've
had a quick word to Sammy

about what Nathan told me.

But saying nothing had seemed
to work with Chrissy.

What's all this?

Stuff from New York.

Mostly for you.

I thought
it was just the suit.

Well, I was going
to surprise you.

Oh, you did.
What else are you hiding?

Oh, a seven four seven
can only hold so much.

Couldn't go too crazy.

[sighs]
Why are you mad?

I told you mom gave me
the spending money.

What else did she give you?

-Nothing.
-What about the plane ticket?

You said Monique's dad
got it for you.

You said that.

But it was your parents
that bankrolled

the whole trip.

-Well so what if they did?
-You lied to me, Sam.

Only because I knew
you were gonna be upset.

I knocked back a job
with your dad

out of respect
for your principles, yeah?

Yeah we turned down
an apartment--

I know that.

Well when you want to party
in New York suddenly

it's okay to take handouts
and lie about it?

Oh for God's sake,

I was just trying
to have some fun!

When am I going to get
the chance again?

God, look,

I know we're going to go
together sometime.

-I just...
-[Nathan] You just thought

you would turn your back
against everything

we have ever agreed on.

Well I really hope shopping
was worth it, Sam.

[Julie]It seems saying nothing

doesn't always work either...

[dramatic music playing]

[Ted] Didn't hear
you get in last night.

-I slept in the park.
-The park?

Well, I slept in the car.

Oh, that explains why
Sammy caught

the train this morning.

-So she's gone?
-Yeah.

She's not too happy
with you, mate.

I'm not happy with her.

Are you using
the bathroom or--

No, no go ahead.
Feel free.

-What's going on?
-[Ben] Mom's new regime.

-[Rachel] No junk food.
-Why?

She weighed herself
this morning.

Must've been all that
baklava last night.

[Julie] Ah, I can hear you.

Well I think
it's a great idea.

We all eat too much
processed sugary crap.

Suck up.

[Julie]
Anything that's bad for you,

we're giving away, all right?

Well if you're looking
for a charity case--

No, Ben. Ben!
Ben!

Mom! Ow.

Hey, muesli bars are healthy.

They're full of sugar.

Not the Brown's!
Mom!

Jules, Jules,
just go for it.

[Nathan] No, no, no mom
this is insane.

[Dave] Your mother's having
a hard time at the moment.

We're all just going
to have to cope.

Thank you.

Rocky road.
Hide it under the bed.

[Ben] I don't have a bed.

-Give it here.
-Oh yeah, yeah.

All right.
So, it's just a joke, is it?

I'm going through
a major change

but to you
it's just a big fat laugh.

Well nothing around here's
going to be big or fat

if we keep going like this.

A major change, Ben!

A change of my whole life.

-Mom, what's wrong?
-What's wrong?

I'll tell you what's wrong.

I am emotional,
I am confused,

I am fat and I'm menopausal!

Menopausal!
Menopausal!

Okay?

[dramatic music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

Sorry.
Sorry I'm late.

Dramas at home.

We've seen the flat,
we love it,

-we just need your signature.
-What?

Well I filled it in already.

All right.
I'll just look over it first.

Well it's a standard lease.

Another couple just left
with an application

so we've got to get it in
before them.

Why is the lease
in my name only?

Well she had a little problem
at her last place.

Well no chance of getting
a reference there.

You never told me about that.
What kind of problem?

Oh, it was stupid.

They just complained
about the music.

Said it made their light
fittings shake, right?

-It was such a lie, Rach.
-[Michael] We're not gonna

have a problem
at this place.

These walls are practically
sound proof.

We can make as much noise
as we like.

Rachel, come on.

[Nathan] It's the Palmers
first up in Kareela.

And then, uh, the Chans
just a few streets over.

Okay that'll take me up
to lunch time.

-Have you got a minute?
-Oh, we're working.

-[Sammy] It's important.
-I'll just head off anyway.

Call me about those
other jobs all right?

Yep.

You were right, okay?

I should never
have lied to you

but I'm trying to fix this.

I spoke to dad this morning
and he wants us

to reconsider
the sub-penthouse.

What?

Well I said we'd consider it.

This is how you fix things?

You said you wanted honesty.

Here it is.

We need our own place.

He's organized a meeting
with the lawyers

-this afternoon, okay?
-[Ben] Oh my God, Sam.

You don't get it, do you?

Well I just... I don't
want us to be fighting

like this anymore.

We'd have security,
we wouldn't be worried

-about money--
-Security's the problem.

Your dad and his money.
It's this huge cushion

just waiting to catch you
if you fall.

I mean you have no idea
how to live

in the real world.

-That is complete crap.
-Really?

-Yeah.
-The apartment,

the trip to New York,
the shopping spree.

I mean you spent
thousands of dollars

on a suit that I am never
gonna wear.

Well when you get
a real job, you will.

Excuse me for having faith
in you.

What if I don't get
a real job?

-What if this is it?
-Don't be ridiculous.

[Nathan] What if your life
is you, me,

kids the suburbs, forever?

No trips to New York,
no shopping sprees, just us.

I mean who are you
in love with, Sam?

Is it me or the person
you want me to be?

I do not have to listen
to this.

Oh, no. No, no.
Sam, Sam, Sam

whatever I do
it's not good enough

-for you, is it?
-I have...

-I have never said that!
-I got you a ticket

to New York
but it wasn't good enough!

-It wasn't first class!
-That is because my mom

had already bought me
a ticket.

-You know that.
-Yeah

you could've told her
to cancel it.

And now you think you can make
everything better

by forcing me
to take Tony's handouts?

You have no idea
who I am, Sam,

and I am starting to think
that I don't like who you are.

[dramatic music playing]

-I guess you heard that.
-Just a bit.

Sorry.

Look, I'm just going to go
to my parents'

for a bit.
Take some time out.

Right.

I should break off
an engagement more often.

Well I missed you at work.

Oh.

Well, I just needed a day
to myself.

Mmm.

-Hey, rocky road?
-[chuckles] No not for me.

So are you okay?

-Is it all good?
-Yeah. I'm a bit sad.

You know, I'm gonna miss him
but it was definitely

the right thing to do.

At least we're still friends.

-Sorry, I wasn't much help.
-What do you mean?

[Julie] Oh, the other day,

the whole
'marry now, divorce later,

-keep the presents' advice.
-[laughs] That was weird.

-Yeah.
-But you know what?

It was so weird it kind
of clarified

-everything for me.
-[Julie] Really?

Yeah. It was at that point
that I realized

that I couldn't let it go
any longer.

You were there for me.

As always.

Oh, are you sure
you won't have some?

[laughs] Oh, oh.

What the hell.

-Cheers.
-[both laughs]

Carbo's mom and dad said
that I could move back in

-when they go back to Greece!
-Great!

We can let out the couch.
Woo hoo!

-I'm moving out!
-Whoa.

I'm, um, I'm staying.

Didn't you get the flat?

-I didn't apply.
-Oh, why not?

I just want to stay here
a little bit longer,

-if that's okay?
-Well I don't know about that.

-Oh, of course it is, darling.
-Are you sure?

All that stuff
about spreading my wings

and giving you two some space?

-Oh, It was crap.
-Hey, hey.

Turn it back.
Turn back the channel.

-What?
-[Dave] Back, back, back,

back, back.

Isn't that Sammy's house?

[woman] ...have implicated
Mr. Westaway

in massive investment fraud

with others expected
to follow.

We are expecting a statement
from Mr. Westaway's lawyers

shortly but it may be
several days

before we know
just how many investors

have been swindled out
of their money

and for how much.

It's expected that figure
will be in the millions.

There's also grave concern
that many smaller investors

have been taken for a ride.

-Oh my God.
-That's awful.

I wonder if he'll go to jail?

Oh, depends
if they can pin it on him.

No wonder Tony was so keen
to offload that apartment.

-[Julie] What do you mean?
-Oh, the lawyers

were already drawing up
the contract.

Me and Sammy
had it all worked out.

Keep a bit of cash
in the family.

-Oh, don't be ridiculous.
-Mom, it's obvious.

[Julie] What?
You really believe that

Sammy had something
to do with this?

No.

You need to talk to her,
Nathan.

Mom, she won't even pick up
her phone.

Well then find a way.

She needs you.

As I watched my son go off
to save his marriage,

I hoped to God
that I had finally given him

the right advice.

[upbeat music playing]

Sam it's me.
Please pick up.

I'm just...
I'm outside the gate

and I just want to talk.

Okay?

You a friend of the Westaways?

Business associate?

Look,
I notice you keep calling.

I figure you must know
someone inside.

Yes.

Uh, and it's none
of your business.

I am just doing my job.

[Julie]Suddenly, Nathan thought

that Ben's idea may not be
completely stupid.

Hey, I've changed my mind.

I would like
to make a comment.

You said
you didn't know anything.

I'm Tony's son-in-law.

Right.

[Rita] Item three.

Kitchen.

It has to be tidied
before you turn in.

Uh, item four, bathroom.

You'll take turns cleaning it.

-Twice a week.
-Twice? Mom.

Item five.

Curfew.

Everyone home in bed
by one a.m.

No excuses.
Item six.

Girlfriends or house guests
must have a full time job,

-references--
-You've got to be kidding,

-right?
-Your last housemate

wasn't exactly a Saint.

Oh, why don't we give them
to pee in a cup too, mom?

You know, drug tests
before anyone sets foot

-on the property.
-I think you'll find

-that's item twelve.
-Oh.

Item seven.

We have decorators coming in.

And Nick you're gonna
supervise their work.

That's it.
So?

Give me the pen.

Good boy.

Sign here.

And here.

I think we understand
each other.

-[Julie sighs]
-[Dave] There you go.

Oh, thanks darling.

Last piece, and I'm removing
the temptation for you.

It's all right.

I made an appointment
with the doctor.

Who knows,
maybe they've found a cure.

Oh, come on.
It's not terminal.

We'll deal with it.

And I love you to death
no matter what.

Even if I'm flushed
and sweaty all the time?

You don't sweat.

-You glisten.
-[laughs]

What's that?

Turn it up, turn it up.

[Nathan] We don't know
the full story yet

and I hope
it's all a mistake.

Tony's family have always
treated me well.

But you're here, Mr. Rafter

instead of inside
with the family.

Should we infer anything
from that?

The only thing you should
infer is that,

um, I love my wife
and I stand by her

no matter what.

[Julie] I couldn't remember
ever feeling

more proud of Nathan.

In fact,
I felt pretty good myself.

I might even start
baking again.

-Julie?
-Mmm.

Yum.

I'm gonna have
to retrieve that.

[chuckles]
