[theme music playing]

[Jake] The family you get
is the family you get.

If you're lucky, they're
happy, chilled, normal.

If you're me,
they're happy, chilled,

but not quite so normal.

I died for you.

[Jake] The only thing
separating you

from other families,
is a bunch of genes.

-[Alex] Why won't you eat me?
-Stop it!

[laughs]

Jake, please control
your brother, would you?

No. I'm on his side.
Why would you take us

out to lunch,
then not eat anything?

Is there something
you want to tell us?

You're not pregnant, are you?
[chuckles]

-Of course, I'm not.
-Well, come on, out with it.

-Doug proposed.
-Hey...

Well, that's great.

That's awesome,
congratulations.

When's the big day?

-There's a slight legal hitch.
-Mmm?

I never divorced your father.

-What?
-After he walked out on us.

I mean, I just didn't want
anything more to do with him.

So, I let the paperwork slide,
and I...

Well, it's just never
mattered until now.

Well, so, we find out where
he is, and we, sort it, out.

Find out where he is?

Yeah. Well, we can't let him
stand in the way

-of Mum's happiness, right?
-No.

-Alex...
-Not right. No.

He dumped us, he walked out.

He didn't want to know.

Yeah. I know, Alex,
I was there.

You want to go back there?

Well, what choice
has she got?

Why even ask us?

Because I'm seeing him
this afternoon.

[Jake] Look Al, I know
the guy's a deadbeat, okay?

All right,
but it's one meeting,

and then it's done,
and then it's over.

What happens if he doesn't
sign the papers?

Well, then we'll go over
and we'll make him sign them.

Mmm, break his legs
and smash up his arms?

Yeah. Something like that.

Yeah. Now you're talking.
[chuckles]

This is just Mom grabbing
something for herself, okay?

He owes her.

[Dave] Well, Ruby is certainly
her mother's daughter.

What, every boy in the park
wanted her phone number?

-Ha!
-No. All the boys in the park

got sand kicked in their face.

Oh.

-Fiesty.
-Oh... I'm not feisty.

-Of course, you are.
-I am not!

Well, there you are feisty,
right there.

One of the reasons
I married you.

-Mmm.
-Okay, cup of tea,

and we're off
to the hospital.

Yeah. You want to come
with us, Dad?

Ah, no, no, I'm good thanks.

Oh, I'm sure Tom'd
love to see you.

Oh, I'm just enjoying
a little me time.

-Mmm.
-Well, you better make

-the most of it.
-They're not going to keep him

-in there much longer.
-Yeah. My point exactly.

-Dad...
-I'd hate to see him

discharged too early.

In case there were
any lingering problems.

Enough.

I want you on your
best behavior, please.

And as for you,
why don't you tell me

some of the other reasons
you married me?

-How long have you got?
-Hm... Charmer.

Granddad, you must be loving
these filthy hot nurses.

Oh, would you like me
to leave you to it?

No, no.
Ah, how, how are you feeling?

Can't complain, but the sooner
I get out of here,

-the better I'll feel.
-Right, well, uh,

this should help you
fill in the time.

[Tom] Global warming,
how interesting.

[Coby] I think you might
particularly like the article

on the exotic mountain ranges

and its spectacular
twin peaks.

[Tom] Oh, yes,
I see what you mean, lad.

Oh, well done, yes.

Hey, listen,
while you're here.

I made a few phone calls.
We'll be getting a visitor.

-[Coby] Yeah?
-Now before she gets here...

Hey, she? Who?
Not Mom, Granddad,

-you've got to warm me.
-It's not your mum.

Oh, here she is.

Give your old Granddad a hug.

-[slaps]
-Oh!

[Bree]
I told you what I'd do,

once they let you out.

So, make sure you stay out.

Come here, you goose.

-How are you, Bree?
-Mmm, good Granddad.

It's good to have you both
under the same roof again.

Yeah, it is.

Oh, I'm guessing Coby's
still not a fan?

Mmm.

-[Jake] Hey, Cobe.
-[knock on door]

You want something
from the shop?

What are you doing?

Hey, mate,
you can't go anywhere.

You're on a good
behavior bond.

I'll take my chances.

What happened?

Just as everything's going
all right, she turns up.

-Who?
-My sister.

-Have you got a sister?
-Didn't I just say that?

All right, all right,
but why do you have to go?

Because it's bad enough
Tom lobbing here.

Now she's here,
what chance have I got?

-What are you talking about?
-Oh, you don't know

what they're like,
any of them.

-Who?
-My family.

Okay, all right.
Well, then just tell me.

I don't have time.

Look, Coby you're going
great guns here mate,

and you know, running.
It'll only make things worse.

Like, what are the cops
going to say?

[playful music playing]

Okay, I get it.
I'm stuck here.

Thanks for the girly chat,
you can go now.

[Jake] Maybe it's the genetic
link, maybe not.

But family can get under
your skin like no one else.

You want any of this crap?

[chuckles]
No, can't do hospital food.

Mmm, so how's your mom?

Well, I called her
and I asked her to come down,

but she's worried
the second she leaves,

the deadbeat boyfriend
will go out,

and hook up
with some other desperado.

Is this the same bastard
as last time?

-It's always the same guy.
-Hmm.

You know,
the names just change.

Well, next time
you're talking to her,

tell her to give me a bell.

I miss her,
she doesn't seem to get that.

So, go see her.

You know how that turns out.

Well, sorry, Pop, but I'm out
of ideas, you know.

Mom's Mom.
She always will be.

Oh, I know, I know.
I just wish...

Oh, sorry.

Uh, do you want anything
from the vending machine?

-No, no, I'm cool.
-[Bree] Okay.

-Excuse me.
-Oh, back again?

Yeah. We didn't want you
getting bored.

[Ben]
So, I bought you a magazine.

Global warming.

Oh, yes, will be...
This'll be very...

You're looking really well,
considering.

Yeah. How are you feeling?

Oh, well, the doctor's
happy with my recovery,

but he reckons I have to start
treating my body

more like a temple
than a bar fridge.

-[Julie laughs]
-[Nathan] Uh, Tom,

the girl in the wheelchair?

She's someone
I want you to meet.

This is my granddaughter,
Coby's sister.

Oh.

[Tom] Bree, this is Dave
Rafter and Julie.

Hi.

Uh... Hi.

Yeah, I know. [chuckles]
It's a miracle, eh?

What do you reckon
they put in this stuff?

-Hello.
-[Bree] Nice to meet you.

-Sister...
-[Julie] So, are you

-younger or older?
-Coby's my little brother.

Right, well, I'm Ben.

And this is my little
brother, Nathan.

-Hey.
-[Bree] Hey.

-Coby has a sister?
-Yeah.

Let me guess,
you heard nothing about me?

No, but he seems to be
on a need-to-know basis.

[Bree] Right.

This is my long-lost son
that I told you about.

Yeah? Guess we've all had
a few surprises then, hey?

New rellos just rolling out
all over the joint.

Hey, don't!

[Bree]
Guess that's my cue to go.

Um, could you write down
Cobes' address for me?

Oh, sure.

[upbeat music playing]

[tires screeching]

Oh!

Watch it! You idiot.

[Bree] Hey.
Just returning the favor.

You know, you nearly ran me
off the road

-a few streets back.
-Well, I didn't even see you.

Yeah. What is it about men
who drive utes

that makes them the biggest
jerks on the road?

-Oh, you're asking me?
-You think the road's yours

because you've got four wheels
and a toolbox?

No. I know the road's mine,
because I know the rules,

because I've got a license
which I got by passing a test.

Apparently any moron
can ride a bike.

Just pull your head in,
macho dickhead.

[playful music playing]

[engine revving]

[Jake] Oh, come on, come on.

-Do you live here?
-What, so what,

you're going to report me
to the police

for sensible driving?

You don't happen to know
a guy named Coby, do you?

You're his sister.

He's my brother.

Yeah. Come on.

[Jake] Coby?

-Oi.
-[Alex] Hey.

Hey, I didn't know
that we were having a guest.

This is my brother Alex.

-Alex, this is Bree.
-[Alex] Hey, Bree.

[Jake] Bree is Coby's sister.

Well, you definitely
got the hotness gene.

[Jake laughs] Yeah,
sorry about my brother Alex.

-He thinks he's a comedian.
-[laughs]

As nice as all this small
talk is, is Coby about?

Yup.

Coby?

[Coby] Hey.

-Oh...
-[Bree] Hey. Wait,

I'm sorry if I freaked
you out at the hospital,

-but can we talk?
-There's nothing

-to talk about.
-Yeah, there is.

Well, I've got things to do.
So...

Actually, no, no,
you know what?

I'm not going anywhere.
This is my home.

That's my front door.
Do you want to use it?

Come on, Cobes.

-Still just a stubborn jerk.
-Stubborn is right.

When are you going
to let it go?

-Let what go?
-When are you going to get it

through your thick head?
I'm not the bad guy here.

Oh, no, Saint Bree. What is it
exactly that you want?

You want a medal, because,
you know, I'm all out.

Okay, I tried.
Nice meeting you.

[Alex] Nice to meet you, Bree.

Do you think
that she's got a boyfriend?

Guess what I've been
doing today?

Cleaning car parts for Nathan?

Yeah, but I got distracted.

I wanted to buy you a present.

Oh, a present.
What is it?

-Oh, keep your eyes closed.
-Okay.

And because you're loving
and caring,

and you said you never had
a pet before...

-[gasps] A puppy?
-No.

-Da-da.
-[Retta] Goldfish.

[Carbo]
Goldfish, five of them.

Oh, Carbo, that's so sweet.

-Look, I know it's not much...
-No, it is.

-It's wonderful.
-I look at it as practice,

you know, for you and me
when we have kids.

Do you think I'm ready?
For fish, I mean.

Well, look, all you have
to do is feed them

and clean the tank.
How hard can it be?

My favorite
is the big gold one.

Parents aren't supposed
to have favorites.

[Carbo] Not supposed to,
but they do.

Okay, I like that one.

[Carbo] The ugly one
with the googly eyes?

[Retta] Yeah. She's the odd
one out, like me.

-You're not the odd one out.
-Mmm.

Well, they're going to be
the happiest,

-most-loved fish in the world.
-Yeah.

[Ben] I can't believe,
he's never mentioned her.

If he never sees her,
why would he?

Hey, guys,
check out the new family.

-Five of the best.
-Mm-hmm.

-Fish?
-Yeah.

-Hey, how's Tom?
-He's pulled up really well,

and we got
a new family member.

-What?
-A cousin.

Coby's sister.

Geez, those rellos are
really coming out

of the woodwork
like termites.

-You sure you're not Greek?
-Hmm.

-What's she like?
-Yeah, is she hot?

-Carbo.
-You really expect us to rate

whether our cousin's
hot or not?

No, of course not.

But what's she like
looks aside?

-Um, too soon to say?
-Yeah.

[Grace]
So, I saw your father.

-[Jake] How was he?
-Older.

-[Alex] Still a deadbeat?
-Alex.

We had coffee.

Why did you have coffee
with him?

Because I wanted to be adult
about it, Alex.

And because he was happy
to fill in the paperwork.

[Jake] Okay. So, now
you can set the wedding date.

Yeah, yeah. Lots to plan.

[Jake] Oh, you don't sound
too excited by that?

No, I am.
It's just, um...

Well your father wanted me
to pass on a message.

-Don't bother, not interested.
-What's the message?

Well, he...
He'd like to see you both.

-What?
-[Grace] Well, he'd like

to meet you both properly,
now that you're adults.

-No.
-Yeah, not going to happen.

[Grace] Look, he knows
that he can't change the past,

but he'd just like
to start afresh.

So, he can feel less
of a loser?

Well, does he have
another family?

-One without a retard in it?
-No, settle, settle.

[Alex] Why should I?
That's why he left, isn't it?

No, look it's more complicated
than that Alex.

It's just such
a long time ago.

I've moved on.

Look, if you don't want
to go there, that's fine.

Good, it's settled then.

-Do you have his number?
-Jake, no way.

Maybe Mom's right,
maybe he just...

You can't see him,

not after what he did to us.

What happened
was in the past.

No, what happened
has happened.

You can't change that.

-Alex?
-Oh, just let him go.

He'll get used to the idea.

Here's his number.

[Jake] If anyone else had
treated us like our Dad did,

you'd write them off
for good.

But this guy
was half our genes.

Okay, I've got to go and pick
up Tom from the hospital.

You guys are all right to do
the Maclean job without me,

-are you?
-[Coby] Yeah, no worries.

Your old man's obviously
pulled up all right.

Yeah. Actually we're having
a welcome home dinner tonight,

be great to have you
both there.

-Yeah, sounds great.
-Free grub, I'm there.

Yeah. Oh, and we're going
to invite Bree as well.

Actually, oh, no,
you know what?

I've just remembered,
I'm supposed to me meeting

some mates of mine
back at Coolong.

-Sorry, Dave.
-No worries.

Invite still stands
if your plans change.

Mmm-hmm.

I'll meet you here
after the job.

-Right, see you.
-Bye.

Would it kill you to go?

Look, you heard me. I'm busy.

You really can't sit
at the same table as her?

No, no, you're right,
I should go.

It might give me a chance to
tell her what I really think

of her, in case
she didn't hear me yesterday.

Mate, this is your family
we're talking about.

Yeah. Well,
you know what they say,

you can't always pick
your family.

Well, surely she deserves
one free kick?

Yup, preferably up the bum.
Yeah, all right, all right.

Look, if you can't be
an adult about it,

maybe it is better
that you do give it a miss.

Let's just get on
with the job, yeah?

All right.

Here's some information
regarding your diet

and general recovery.

Plenty of bed rest
and no strenuous activity.

Even in bed?

Geez,
you right there, Granddad?

[Dave] We'll make sure
he doesn't do anything

-too strenuous.
-[woman] Thank you.

-[Dave] Okay, you all set?
-Yeah, mate,

and thanks so much again
for putting me up.

Oh, no worries. Actually,
we're going to have

a welcome home dinner
for you tonight.

Well, you didn't need
to do that.

-Yeah.
-He's had two days

in hospital,
not ten months in Iraq.

Thanks for the sympathy.

[Dave]
Oh, it was Jules' idea.

Nothing too fancy.

You too, Bree,
if you're around.

Oh, thanks.
Is Coby coming?

-Uh, no, he's got other plans.
-Oh, surprise, surprise.

We'll both be there.
It's a nice gesture.

[Dave] Good, well I'll, uh,
bring the car around.

Oh, cheers, cheers.

You're going soft
in your old age Grandad.

You want a welcome home party
with the Brady Bunch?

Oh, give them a break.
They grow on you, trust me.

Trust you?

-Busted.
-Hmm?

No wonder you got
a bad ticker.

Come on.

Hello.

Carbo?

[Carbo] Yeah, what's up?

Where's Jemima?

-Who's Jemima?
-My favorite.

-The one with the googly eyes.
-She's in there.

No. She's missing.

Oh, she's probably
in the castle.

[Retta] No, I'm positive.
I can't see her anywhere.

Maybe she's tried to escape?

Where would she escape to?

Uh... Neighborhood cat?

Have you ever seen a cat
in here?

-No.
-No, exactly.

[sighs]
How could I lose a fish?

I've lost a fish, Carbo.

Oh, babe.

-How'd you go?
-[Jake] Yeah, too easy.

Hey, Tom.

How're you feeling, Granddad?

-Not bad, not bad.
-I'll take these inside.

What was that disappearing
act you did yesterday

-at the hospital?
-Oh, I just remembered

I had something to do.
It's true.

Well, I tell you this,
I expect you to be

-at this dinner tonight.
-No, I can't.

-I've made other plans.
-Well, un-plan your plans.

It would mean a hell of a lot
to me for you and your sister

-to be there.
-Granddad, we don't get along,

-we never did.
-Are you listening to me?

A hell of a lot.

-Okay, okay.
-I want your word.

Yeah, all right.
You've got it.

Good boy.

Hey, Dave, about tonight,
I got me plans mixed up.

-I'll be there with bells on.
-[Dave] That's great.

You guys do the prep for
the next job, and I'll, uh,

I'll get Tom settled in, eh?

No worries.

Welcome home, Tom,
your room's all set to go

and so is the couch.
And here's the remote.

-Oh, thanks.
-Blankets if you need it.

Blankets? I'm not ready for
the old folks' home just yet.

-How goes it, Tom?
-[Tom] Teddy!

Get us a beer, old mate,
will you?

Come on, it's ten o'clock
in the morning.

Well, you know what they say,

it's not just
a breakfast drink.

You two,
best behavior please.

I don't want any of this
silly competitive bickering.

-Cup of tea would be lovely.
-[Ted] Mmm-hmm.

-Good to be home?
-Absolutely.

I don't mind hospitals,
you know.

Did I ever tell you about
the time that I got better

acquainted with a nurse
in the broom cupboard?

-No way.
-You serious?

Oh, yeah, we went out
for a couple of months.

She was a terrific girl.

Huge personality
and lovely eyes.

-A bit like yours, Jules.
-[chuckles]

Ah, here you go mate,
white with one.

Oh, no mate. Since the heart
scare I've gone off dairy.

Can you make it black?

I'll get it.

[phone ringing]

[Nathan] Hello, Nathan Rafter.

Yeah, uh,
what car have you got?

What, spell it.

Tom. [sighs]

I know you enjoy taking
the mickey out of me.

All in fun.

Yeah, no worries.

I've got a good sense
of humor.

-I can give as good as I get.
-Hmm.

But the one thing
I don't find funny,

is the thought of something
bad happening to this family.

So, if I ever seem to lose
my sense of humor,

that'd be why.

I don't want anything bad
to happen.

Yeah. Well,
then we understand each other.

-Well, I reckon we do.
-Good. Good.

Good.

What happened to my tea?

-[Jake] You right?
-Yeah.

You make any interesting
phone calls today?

Oh, yeah.
I haven't called

that sex line in ages.
[laughs]

If you mean,
have I called Dad, I...

Stop calling him that.

He never had any time for us.

Whoa, did you leave any
aftershave in the bottle?

I haven't got that much on.

Why are you so dressed up?

-Ah, I get it.
-What?

Yeah,
Bree's going to be there.

Oh, look, it's dinner
at the boss's house,

-don't get carried away.
-[Alex] Yeah.

And I don't understand why
Coby's sister got invited,

-and I didn't.
-Because she's related.

Yeah, and she's smokin'.
Haven't you noticed?

I mean,
the girl has attitude.

Don't fall for it, mate,
it's an act, believe me.

-You ready to go?
-I'm going to have a shower,

but you head.
I'll meet you there.

-Coby...
-[Coby] Mate, don't stress.

-I'll be right behind you.
-All right.

And don't stand too close
to a naked flame.

[laughter]

Don't choke
on your spaghetti.

-Yeah.
-[Jake] See you later.

[Alex] Ciao.

[tense music playing]

[door closes]

-Did Jemima turn up?
-Yeah, Carbo.

She's just been visiting
the goldfish next door,

just forgot to leave a note.

Do you know that goldfish
can eat each other?

What? No way.

Yeah, I did some
research online.

I think Jemima was eaten by
her brothers and, or sisters.

Oh, that's sick.

Our children are cannibals.

What kind of family values
are we promoting here?

Isn't there an expression
about a watched tank?

Ha, very funny.

-Why are you so dressed up?
-It's wash day,

and these are the only
clean clothes I have.

-[laughs]
-Maybe you two

should have had a little
chit-chat about outfits first?

Ben, we look ridiculous.
Can you change your shirt?

-It's wash day.
-Borrow one.

-What, from Carbo?
-Yeah.

Even I've got standards.

Oh, don't worry about it.

You know, you guys look cute.

Like twins.
Sad, loser twins.

And you're staying home.

Have fun with your goldfish.

-That's so sad.
-You're sad.

[Nathan] Bye, Retta.

Hey, guys!

-[camera shutters]
-[chuckles] Classic.

Tell me we're not that sad.

Don't listen to him.

[Julie] So,
there's mini-quiches, dolmades

and sun-dried tomatoes.

Oh, thanks Jules,
I'm that hungry.

I could eat the bum
out of a low-flying duck.

-[laughs]
-Right, drinks.

-What can I get everyone?
-Love a beer, mate.

-[Ben] Me too, thanks.
-Bree?

-Oh, no, thanks.
-[Dave] Wine?

-I don't drink.
-[Julie] Oh.

-Soft drink?
-Uh, sure, thanks.

-I'll grab one too, thanks.
-Okay.

So, Tom says you've been
in Sydney a while?

Uh, yeah, I've been
staying up the coast

with my Mom for a bit.
But all my mates are down here

-and so is my job, so...
-What do you do?

-I'm a bike courier.
-Cool.

[Bree] Yeah, it's not
a forever thing,

but I get to be outside,
keep fit, listen to music.

So, it's good.

That can, uh, get a bit
hairy sometimes, can't it?

Yeah, it can.

There's some real dickheads
out on the road.

-[Dave] Yeah?
-Uh, one yesterday, in fact.

Yeah, what happened?

[Bree] Well,
it's the usual deal.

I'm just riding along,
minding my own business

when this dropkick
in a ute cuts me off.

Well, what can I do?

I chase the guy down
the street and I cut him off.

What a jerk.

Yeah, but, uh, you know,

some cyclists do get
a bit paranoid,

and think everyone
in a car's out to get them.

Yeah, and some drivers
just have egos blown

-totally out of proportion.
-Oh...

Yeah, that guy sounds
like an A-grade loser.

My thoughts exactly.

[Julie] Well, it's lovely
to have you all here.

Yup. Only one guest to arrive.

Oh, yeah, I'll go
and give him a call.

[engine whirring]

[phone ringing]

Okay, that's three messages.

He's definitely not answering.

But Alex said he'll call
if he sees him.

[Julie] Okay. Well, maybe
I should serve up?

-Yes.
-Yes. Yeah. We could always,

you know, heat up
Coby's in the microwave.

[Julie] Yeah, good idea.

[Bree] Hey Ben,
want to make a bet?

What kind of bet?

I bet you five bucks
that I can scull

three glasses of water

before you can finish
one beer.

-Easy.
-Okay. There's two rules.

First rule, you've got to give
me a one-glass head-start.

-Okay.
-Second rule,

we can't touch
each other's drinks.

Too easy.

[Jake] Oh, yeah.

-[laughs]
-Can't touch it, remember?

She got you there, mate.

[laughs]

Granddad taught me that one,
didn't you, Pop?

-Taught me lots of things.
-[Julie] Here we go.

-[Ben] Oh...
-Excuse me, Tom.

-Thank you.
-[Nathan] It's lasagna!

Well, that could feed
a small nation.

Yes, I think I did go
a bit overboard, didn't I?

Well, you thought
Coby'd be here.

Well, it looks great.

So, it's Coby's loss, hey?

Not the only thing
that kid's going to lose.

-[Julie] Okay, well, um--
-[Dave] Let's...

[Julie] Let's serve it.

[Jake] Hey, you need a hand?

Why, because these weigh
a ton?

[laughs]

Uh, I think I might
have stuffed up.

I might be partly
responsible for Coby

not turning up tonight.

-What do you mean?
-Well, I just said to him

if he can't be
an adult with Bree,

then he shouldn't put
on a show

for the rest of the family.
You know,

I just don't think
you can force family together.

Yeah. But then if Coby doesn't
man up and talk to Bree,

nothing's going to get
resolved, is it?

Anyway, I wouldn't worry
about it.

If he didn't want to come
here, nothing you could

have said would have
changed his mind.

Yeah.

Everything else all right
with you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Good.
-Yeah.

Oh, look, um...

My old man wants to see me
and Alex.

And it'll be the first time
since he shot through.

Okay.

-How old were you then?
-Four.

Alex was two.

I just... He's never been
part of our life.

How does Alex feel about it?

No. He won't even consider it.

But I'm like, he's blood.

You know I can't help
but wonder what he looks like.

If I take after him,
you know?

Yeah. I know how that feels.

Yeah, right, right.

Look, it's a big decision.

Don't rush into anything.

Right, yeah.

-Yeah.
-Come on.

Cheers.

Um, I would like to just say
a few words, if I could.

Um, just like to welcome
Tom back

and wish you
a speedy recovery.

It's nice to have you
here again, mate.

-To Tom.
-Tom.

-To Tom.
-[Ben] To Tom.

Thanks Dave.

[Dave] And, uh, welcome, Bree.

It means a lot to us
to have you here.

[phone ringing]

Sorry, that's Alex.
I better get that.

Yeah, I better shoot off too.

Oh, already?

I've got an early start
tomorrow, so.

-Um, goodnight everyone.
-[Julie] Oh, thanks

for coming, Bree.
[Ben] Goodnight Bree.

-Goodnight Granddad.
-I appreciate you

coming, love.
But I'm going to throttle

-your brother.
-No, don't get

carried away, all right?
I'm going to sort it.

Uh, have you got
my five bucks?

[laughs]

Yeah. You want to tell him
that no one was happy

about his no show tonight.
I...

Oh, look, I've got to go.

I'll see you at home. Bye.

What was that about?

Oh, it's nothing.

Liar.

If Cobes is at your place,
I want to speak to him.

Yeah. I don't think
that's a good idea.

Why, it can't make things
any worse

than they already are, can it?

[sighs]

Okay.

You want to throw
your bike in the back,

and I'll give you a lift?

-I could race you?
-What?

I could race you.

Sorry, I got to run,
thanks for dinner!

[Nathan] That was intense.

[Ben] Was it just me
or was there a clock ticking?

Or a time-bomb.

Or just Tom's teeth grinding?

-This is getting ridiculous.
-[Retta] Are you sure

they're going to be okay
in such a small space?

Yes. They've only got
a three second memory.

By the time, they realize
they're in a small jar.

They'll think
they're somewhere new.

Um, that's an urban myth.

Who knew fish could be
so much work?

Oh, no,
this is only temporary,

till we figure out what to do.

About what?

I feel like a bad parent.

No, no, you're going to be...

You are a great parent.

Even if our kids
are eating each other?

Check it out,
it's Mr. and Mrs. Dahmer

and their cannibal kids.

I think I felt more
comfortable next door.

[indistinct chatter]

All right. That's impressive.

It helps if you don't stop
at traffic lights.

Traffic lights are there
for a reason,

but I guess only
law-abiding citizens

care about that.

Hey.

This is why you couldn't make
it to dinner?

Why did you bring her
back here?

He didn't.

-We have to talk.
-No, we don't.

You don't get to run away
this time, you get to listen.

Not here.

Right, after you.

Hmm, I think she's even hotter
when she's angry.

Still the artistic one
in the Jennings family.

No, it's good. It's nice.

Just say what you want to say.

Okay.

I'm not Mom.

I never said you were.

And I know you had
a hard time growing up.

How would you know?
You weren't there.

No, I wasn't.

I was with Mom,
which you seem to think

was some,
sort of, fantasy camp?

Look, I am not going
to feel sorry for you.

-If that's what you want.
-Well, how could you?

You don't know what things
were like for me.

-I don't care.
-I get that.

But you act
like I had choices.

I had no more choice
than you did

when Mom shot through,
and I'm sorry she did that.

I'm sorry she left you.
But it's not my fault.

Look. This has been
a fantastic little catch-up,

get-together, but I've really
got things to do.

Fine.

If you can't get
what I just said

through to your closed-off
brain,

then let's just at least
pretend

to be civil.

For Granddad's sake,
if nothing else.

No go with Coby?

Perceptive.

[Alex] Oh, can I get you,
you a drink?

No, I'm right thanks.

But you could grab me
a pillow,

because I'm bushed.

[Alex] Mmm, you want to stay?

Is that weird?

-Uh...
-[Alex] No, no, um...

I'll get you some things.

Yeah. I get that you're tired,

with all that crazy cycling
you do.

It's weird, I should go.

[Alex] No, not, not weird!

You can take my room.

Uh, the couch is fine, thanks.

I'm used to crashing, as long
as you guys don't mind.

[Alex] Mind? Of course, not!

No, not at all.

And Coby, you know,
he'll calm down.

Oh, he's a stubborn bugger.

He always has been.

Well, maybe you should
leave it alone for a bit.

Well, this is what happens
when you leave it alone.

It festers until it gets
so big no one can handle it.

[Alex] Okay.
So, I've got a fresh towel,

one of the good ones.

Well, actually,
our only good one.

And, da-daa, a pillow.

-Thank you Alex.
-Uh, thank you

for staying
at the Hotel Barton.

[chuckles]

Thanks.

-Goodnight.
-Goodnight.

You know, it's hard
to believe

that you're half Jennings
sometimes.

Yeah. Never a dull moment
when they're around.

Or not around.

Coby ruffled
a few feathers tonight.

Mmm, makes a good argument

for keeping estranged
family estranged.

Do you think
there's any more of them?

Don't know. Every time I ask,
I hit a brick wall.

Mmm. Well, I think it's lovely

that Jake asked you
for advice.

Yeah. I guess I'm the right
person because of Tom.

No. I think
there's more to it than that.

-Like what?
-Oh, he looks up to you.

I'm just the guy
who signs the paychecks.

[scoffs] You sure about that?

Don't think so.

[upbeat music playing]

Afternoon.

-I'm sorry, I'm late.
-Better late than not at all.

Yeah, and I'm sorry
about last night.

But I didn't think
it'd be a big deal.

Yeah. We were expecting you,
that's all.

[Tom] And you gave me
your word.

Yeah. Well, you told me
you'd never go to prison.

-So, how's your form?
-You're on thin ice, boy.

Well, I'm sure Bree
more than made up for it.

What's that supposed to mean?

You know what I mean.

Now let's get this straight.

She's had a rough time too.

Yeah. So she keeps telling us.

You don't know
the half of it mate.

What she's had to put up with.

Like what, Granddad? What?

Your Mom's got problems,
you know that.

-And?
-Who do you think cops it?

Princess Bree?

Mate, you are living
in cloud cuckoo land

if you think that's how it is.

Your mom drinks, Bree doesn't.

Think about it.

The whole of her bloody life,
since she was that high.

How many times do you think
she's had to pick her up

off the floor?
Or clean up her vomit,

or put her back in bed, eh?

How many times?

I wanted you both there
last night because I want you

to get over yourself and fix
things with your sister.

Well, some things
can't be fixed.

Not that easy.

You're a disappointment
to me, boy.

-You okay, Tom?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Don't fuss.

Don't take this Coby thing
to heart.

He's just a kid.

Yeah, maybe I was too hard
on him.

He'll be okay,
there'll be other dinners.

What's the point?

Maybe I should just accept
it's never going to work.

My family's broken.

Pretty harsh assessment.

Well, my daughter's
an alcoholic

who won't talk to me,
and her kids can't stand

to be in the same room
as each other.

That's the reality.

[Ben] And how are the little
carnivores this morning?

Um...

What's going on?

They've disappeared.

How can they do that
when they're separated?

Can fish eat themselves?

[keys jingling]

-Retta.
-Hey.

Hey, you look great,

have you been
at the hairdressers?

-[Ben] Is that a new dress?
-No, I was...

Because whatever you're doing,
keep on doing it,

because you look great.

Carbo, what's going on?

Retta, I've got some bad news.

The fish,

they, um, ate themselves.

No. I just took them
back to the pet store.

-What? Why?
-[Retta] Yeah.

Well, I thought about it,
and I realized

that you have to be ready
for parenting,

and maybe I'm not ready.

Anyway, they'll be happier
at the fish shop,

or with their new owner,
rather than me.

[Julie] Can I get you
anything, Tom?

No, I'm all right.

[Ruby crying]

[Ted] I got it.

Thanks Dad.

Must be nice having
the family around to help.

Yeah. I suppose it is.

[Ted] Whoa, whoa,
here she is,

ready to take on the world.

I think what she needs
is a cuddle

from her other granddad.

Hello little Ruby-cube.

You tell me what you've been
dreaming about.

Did you have a bad dream?

Oh... You tell Granddad,
what you do?

You got that invoice for me?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just finished.

Good man.

So I'm, uh,
I'm going to head off.

Yeah, no problem.

You called your father yet?

Oh, I still don't know
if I'm going to.

Well, you know,
whatever happens,

you know, just so you know,
I mean...

it probably goes
without saying, but, uh...

What but?

Well, you know, I just wanted
you to know that I, um,

I think of you as family.

We all do.

Yeah, thanks man.

I, kind of, feel the same.

Right... And you so nag
like my mom.

Maybe family isn't made
by a handful of genes.

Maybe it's something
you've got to make yourself.

Oh, Teddy,
while you're on your feet,

could you get me
a cup of tea, please?

Not a problem.

Hey! Strewth!

[laughs] Gotcha.

[groans]

Oh, mate, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to...
Are you all right?

Gotcha back.

Oh, you...

[laughs]

-You are...
-Oh, good to see you two

getting along.

He's a dead set wild card,
that one.

-Really?
-Lovie, could you finish

making that cuppa?
My back is killing me.

Yeah, sure. Tom, cup of tea?

Oh, sure love, yeah.

[screams]

[laughs]

-Oh...
-[Ruby crying]

-Yeah, great.
-One of you two

-can deal with that.
-Ted will get her.

Thanks Tom.

Very funny.

-Benno.
-[Ben] Yeah.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Sorry our fish family
didn't work out, but, uh...

-[Retta] A rock?
-[Carbo] A pet rock.

You don't have
to watch it all day.

It doesn't need to eat,

no one's going to eat it.
And...

[gasps] And it's got
googly eyes.

-Exactly.
-And you can call him Rocky.

Perfect.

You're going to make
an awesome mother one day.

And you'll make
a fantastic dad.

Family hug?

-Oh!
-[Retta] Oh, no...

Rocky, oh...

We're going to need to take
some parenting lessons.

[Ben] Yeah, lots of them.

-[laughs]
-Oh...

I'm being funny.

[knock on door]

-Hey.
-Whoa...

I just left my jacket here
this morning.

-Oh.
-Hey.

Hey. Very domesticated.

[chuckles]

Oh, right.

I might get out of your way.

-Thanks for the offer.
-What offer?

Coffee.
Didn't want one anyway.

Did Dave make
a speech last night?

-Huh?
-At the dinner.

Yeah, yeah, he did.
What's with that?

Shh, they always make speeches
at the Rafters' dinners.

Yeah?

Freaky, eh?

I'll see myself out.

Have a nice day.

See you around.

[Jake] Okay. So, maybe
our family

isn't always happy
and chilled,

or normal.

But whose is?

You seem to be
in a better mood.

Well, the divorce papers
are finalized.

Doug and I are starting
to plan the wedding.

-Vegas?
-Not quite.

But we do want
you two to be best men.

Hey.

I'd be honored.
That'd be great.

Do I get to bring a chick?

Of course, you do, darling.

Awesome.

Uh, I have a bit
of an announcement to make.

Um, I've decided
not to call Dad.

Why?

I've decided that...

I've got all the family
I need.

Piece by piece, I felt
like maybe my family

was coming together.

Ah!

You owe him five bucks.
You owe him five bucks.
