All language subtitles for McLeods Daughters (2001) - S03E20 - Perfect Match (1080p AMZN WEB-DL x265 MONOLITH)

Previously on McLeod's Daughters...

Oh, if only he had a better start!

Oh, still, anyway, 30 is good.

30 is very, very good - oh,
yes, here you go.

You're spoiling him.

He deserves it.

(Jake laughs)

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

Ah, it's pretty warm.

Nick.

Just point me at the fire.

'Cause I'm here to sign up.

Your job is to find the victim

and get out as quickly as you can.

Who's first?

I'll go.

Sure you don't one of us to go in first?

Show her how it's done.

Too late, Toby, Jodi's first.

I'd like you to meet my
new business partner.

Ryan-McLeod Horse Training.

Hm, McLeod-Ryan.

And eventually we'll be
getting into breeding too.

Yeah, I'm beginning to learn

a thing or two about the country.

Good.

It's pride before anything else.

Nobody says they're sorry,
even when they're wrong.

And the women are pretty surprising.

If you want a property of your own to run,

it's yours.

You proved you can do it.

Look, about yesterday,

I just really want to say I'm sorry.

Forget it.

I'm sorry too.

I've, I've never had anything
as precious as Storm Cloud.

(horse neighs)

(country music)

(horse neighs)

Now that's what I call a beautiful sight!

Oh, yeah?

Whew!

He's gonna make it all happen for us.

As long as Claire agrees.

Oh, she has to!

It's too good to refuse.

(Becky laughs) I hope you're right.

I know I'm right.

A horse stud?

With Storm Cloud,
he's great stock for breeding

and it won't interfere
with your training business.

Well, at least your land.

And you get a share of the profits.

It's money for nothing.

No such thing.

Every Picnic races we've gone to,

people have asked about
putting Storm Cloud to stock.

But we have to move now,

because if we miss this breeding season

then we'll have to wait another year.

Well,
we could always do with the extra cash.

You'd be trading on my reputation.

We'd be adding to it.

You're the best chance
we've got to make this work.

And I promise we'll work hard.

You want it this much?

Yeah.

Well I can't say no to that, can I?

So, we're in business?

I'll get the papers drawn up.

Thank you.
Thanks.

Eventually we'll get our own property.

There's no need to share the
profits when we don't have to.

Oh, we've only just started.

I mean, I was hoping to
make a profit in the first year

so Claire knows she's not wasting her time.

Oh, well do more than that.

You and me, we'll start an empire.

I never even thought I'd
have my own business.

Well, stick with me and
that's just the beginning.

(metal rod clinks)

What do you think, bom?

You think this is a good idea?

Well it's what you've always wanted,
isn't it?

A horse breeding business on Drovers?

Yeah, but my business.

My horses, my terms.

Becky and Jake going to manage it,
are they?

Well, that's the idea.

Very ambitious.

Well it means we make
money without all the work

which will free up time for other things.

(kisses Charlotte) What other things?

We don't need time for other things, do we?

Things like talking to someone

who isn't a baby or a horse.

I talk to you.

Yes, I know, but I'm not

a single, attractive, interesting man.

No, well spotted.

You can't blame isolation anymore.

With the Internet the whole
world's just one big village!

And you're the village matchmaker?

Don't you think it's time

that you thought about
a little male company?

Yeah, I thought about it.

(upbeat rock music)

(truck engine hums)

Wasn't my fault.

(Toby laughs)

When you're back burning,

the whole point is not
to get trapped in the fire.

I wasn't trapped, I'm here, aren't I?

It's only 'cause the wind changed.

If both of you had
followed my instructions...

Hang on,
you can't give us the same assessment.

I wasn't the one who stood upwind.

No, but you were too busy trying

to outdo Jodi to tell her to move!

You do the crime, you do the time!

What time?

I wanna see my reflection in that truck!

The sooner you start,
the sooner you'll finish.

(upbeat guitar music)

That is for being a suck-up, know-it-all,

pain in the (screams)

You always have to win, don't you?

Yep.

Hey.
Hey!

Showering in the middle of the day now?

Blame Toby Frye.

(Becky laughs)

So, I hear you're partners with Claire now.

Yeah, I guess.

That'll be good.

You'll be able to give orders
instead of just taking them.

So what's all this then?

We got our teaser stallion
Dusty coming in tomorrow.

Oh, poor Dusty, that's a dud job!

Well he puts in all the effort,
he makes the jokes,

buys the dinner, and some other guy

comes in and gets lucky instead.

Oh, first customer already.

You're doing well.

G'day, Neil.

What brings you here?

Oh, I'm here to see Jake
about the breeding program.

Oh, she's a cute little one. (Chuckles)

Takes after her mother,
there's no mistaking

those big, blue eyes.

I'm surprised you haven't
had her out mustering cattle yet.

Oh, that's next week. (Laughs)

Jumping the gun a bit, aren't ya?

You know Jake, always prepared.

Well I knew you'd say yes

so I kind of already did the ground work.

Claire,
about the agistment side of things...

I'll, I'll be overseeing the
breeding program, Neil.

Is it necessary to keep Lady here,

seeing as I'm only just down the road?

Oh, yeah,
well that's all part of the package.

You know, good pasture and ultrasound

to make sure the pregnancy's going right.

Jake, Neil's a neighbor.

Yeah, and all my clients are gonna receive

the same level of care and attention.

Let me show you around.

The yard's gonna be upgraded.

So what you're seeing here now...

Pretty sure of himself, isn't he?

He's confident, yeah.

(piano music)

Right, date of birth.

Don't have to lie about that yet.

I've been doing business
with Neil for years now.

Star sign.

And Jake just steps in and takes over.

Well, it is his business.

Occupation - horse trainer?

What are you doing?

Internet dating.

Do you know how many
farmers are looking for wives?

(sighs) I don't need a wife.

This is ridiculous.

Interests.

Horses.

Best friend?

My horse.

Look,
if you're not gonna take this seriously,

I'll fill it in myself.

Suits me.

Oh, what about this bit?

Qualities you are looking for in a man.

Handsome, charming, good sense of humor.

Don't forget great in bed.

Yeah, it's a pity they can't claim me.

(clicks tongue) Who's looking for a man?

No one.
Claire.

I'll leave you two alone.

Well actually, I'm here on business.

Jake asked me to check
on the first batch of mares.

He didn't say anything to me.

Well it's not your business, remember?

Are we ready to move with her yet?

Follicle's not as big as it could be.

But let's wait 'till it's optimum size,
Jake.

You've got a seven day window.

If she's not ready, you shouldn't rush it.

Well I've got another
three mares arriving today,

we could stagger her in with them.

I'll move her to the other yard then.

On time for a change.

Claire, tell me I'm wrong,

but I thought this was our idea.

Start a training program,
move into breeding

and develop a stud.

Still is.

Except now you're doing it with Jake.

No I'm not.

Jake's setting it up with Becky,
he's just leasing my land.

Oh, that sounds so much better.

Look, they have Storm Cloud.

They brought the deal to me,
what can I say?

You can say no.

Doesn't stop us from doing it.

You can't patent breeding, you know.

Look, Becky really wanted this.

I thought we wanted it first.

There we go.

Excellent choice of clientele.

(truck engine roars)

Is Ivan Morgenson a client of yours?

Sure.

Well you know that people
say he uses drugs on his horses.

Oh, that's just rumors.

Well his training methods aren't.

I've seen them, he's brutal.

Well he's not here to train,
he's here for the breeding.

Hang on, can't we put certain
clauses into the contract?

No, look,
I've already signed a deal with Ivan.

Look, if that man stays on my property,
our deal is off.

(suspenseful music)

There goes a lot of money.

They're will be other clients.

And what if Claire doesn't like

the way they wear their pants?

She said that Morgenson
mistreats his horses.

Look, Claire's got her methods, okay?

She handles horses with kid gloves,
it's not the only way.

She knows these people better than we do.

It cannot hurt to listen to her.

She's not always right!

Look, I know a few things myself, okay?

I practically ran dad's place.

And nobody is questioning your abilities,
Jake.

But do we really wanna be doing business

with someone we can't trust?

Yeah, someone Claire doesn't trust.

Yeah, and I trust her.

Look, I'll talk to her, I'll sort it out.

(solemn music)

I knew this whole thing was a big mistake.

Well it's not too late to pull out.

Yeah, we don't need the money that much.

Nah, we can manage.

Why aren't you arguing with me?

Well, what's the point?

I agree with you.

Good.

You don't think I was a bit rough on Jake?

He deserved it.

All right,
why don't you just come out and say it?

What?

That you think I'm overreacting

because Jake isn't doing things my way.

Did I say that?

Just don't rub it in, all right?

Oh, Jake!

Just wanna have a word.

Yeah, likewise.

Look, about before...

Yeah.

You know how it is.

Sure, it's teething problems.

It happens with every new business.

Absolutely.

Early days, hey?

So, we're back on track?

Right as rain.

Good.
Good!

(metal clangs)

It's not like we were never gonna do it.

It was a matter of weeks.

Months, a year tops!

An opportunity came along, she took it.

Doesn't stop you from doing it.

Well Claire obviously thinks that I can't.

Oh, that's not true, Alex.

She was ready before.

Yeah, I know.

So what's changed?

I haven't.

People move on.

Nobody moves on to second-best, Nick.

I mean, she's losing the plot.

Making deals with Jake, fancying Vince.

What's he got to do with it?

I'm just saying, Claire doesn't know

a good thing when she's on to it.

You know?

And those blokes don't
have anything that I don't.

I thought this was about Jake.

Singapore, Sweden, Peru!

What a shame the villages are so far away.

That's it?

Three responses?

I would've thought
those Internet desperates

would have jumped at the
chance to meet a real woman.

Oh, well, if at first you don't succeed...

You quit while you're ahead!

No, you go to plan B.

What if I was to tell you there was a way

to meet lots of men without
having to leave Drovers?

I'd say you were dreaming.

And all it'd take is six minutes to know

if you wanna go out with them or not.

(laughs) Tess, it takes six years

to get on a first-name basis out here.

It's no wonder you're single.

Where are you going?

I'm gonna have you
on a date if it kills me.

Tess, it won't work!

Well don't you want a
chance to prove me wrong?

Please, just do this one thing for me.

And then I'll leave you to
become a spinster, I promise.

Oh, anything just to be left in peace!

Thanks, Meg, I knew I could count on you.

And all I have to do is
ring this every six minutes?

Yes.

So I'm just gonna go
round up some more men.

Only took me 30 seconds.

What did?

To know that you were the woman for me.

Aww.

That was actually well before you spoke

and then I had to rethink things.

But in a good way.

Quick dating?

Exactly like a real date, only quicker.

What's the instigator?

Oh let's just say a mutual friend.

So there'll be women there?

Yes!

I've organized many single,
available women.

(slams car door)

They'll tell you their life
story in three minutes.

You tell them yours and no one gets bored

and when you're done, you can decide

if you want to go on a date or not.

What if they wanna go on a date with you

and you're not interested?

You - not interested?

Some people don't like
getting knocked back in public.

Oh, well you won't be coming then, Nick.

It's all handled with
the utmost discretion.

You don't need me to hold your hand.

Scared of the competition, mate?

Only for your sake.

No one even comes close.

Guess we'll find out soon enough then,
won't we?

So you're both in,
that's great, I gotta go,

there's lots to organize.

Righto, Tess!

(motorcycle whirring)

Excuse me?

I was told I could find Jodi here,

she left her bracelet.

You're Toby!

Yeah.

Jodi,
Toby's not rude and insensitive at all!

Look, he's brought back your bracelet.

Thanks, mum.

Would you like to stay for dinner?

No, we're fine.

You want this?

Yeah, thanks.

Look, you really didn't
have to come all this way.

No problem.

Listen, I'm really sorry about yesterday.

Sure.

Don't worry about it.

Is that it?

Yeah, forget it.

I don't believe in holding grudges.

You're not gonna apologize?

What for?

For blaming me for the back burning,

for throwing a bucket of water on me?

I don't believe in
apologizing if I don't mean it.

Besides,
I know you were just flirting with me.

I was not.

You can't help it.

Hey, you know my apology?

I take it back.

Oh yeah, you big flirt.

(Jodi snorts)

Looking good.

Vince will be pleased.

(horse snorts)

Morganson's gone.

Sorted that out.

Most people just get a new car.

What?

This early mid-life crisis you're having.

New business, now you're looking for

a new bloke to go with it.

No I'm not!

This dating thing.

Pretty obvious Tess
set it up for your benefit.

Just didn't figure you for
the shopping-around type.

Look, it was her idea, all right?

She just thinks I need to get out more.

Yeah, well you know what happened to Harry.

Well I'm not gonna end up with Sandra

if that's what you're worried about.

I just don't know why you
to have to do this, Claire.

There's plenty of decent blokes out there.

Yeah, where?

Just have to know the right place to look,
that's all.

(horse neighs)

I knew it would be all
right if you talked to Claire.

Yeah, I know when to back down.

Compromise.

I guess we're both
pretty determined people.

Yeah, you are.

This your teaser stallion?

Yeah.

Oh, don't let Storm Cloud near him.

I won't.

Nah, one whiff of him, he'll go crazy.

That's why we're keeping him down here.

Yep, gotta keep them completely separate.

I know what I'm doing, Claire!

Right.

Your business.

Leave you to it.

Well done.

You stood up to her.

No, she was just trying to help.

That was uncalled for.

Things are changing.

She'll be taking her
orders from you one day.

(soft country music)

Ah, you're dressed up.

A new shirt.

Yeah.

Right.

So you know tonight
you've only got three minutes

to show them you are funny,
smart and caring.

You have to be really focused.

No stories about Charlotte, horses

or anything about the property.

That's all I talk about.

No, not tonight.

Well what am I supposed to talk about?

The weather?

Yes, I thought this might happen.

So I've prepared a bit of a list.

Which movie star I'd
most like to sleep with?

Yeah.

So I apologize, right?

And he doesn't even say sorry back.

Should he have?

Yeah, I only said sorry first
so he would apologize to me.

And you didn't mean it?

Nup.

He deserved it.

I'm only sorry I spoke to him at all.

You getting dressed?

It's been a big day,
I don't think I could talk

to anyone even for a minute.

Yeah, it must be hard being your own boss

and making your own decisions.

Yeah, hard.

You know I reckon some
people are born to be leaders.

Others just want to get by and be happy.

You can't have both?

Well I don't want either.

I'm a free spirit, born to roam,

no job tying me down, man in every port.

Starting tonight, huh?

Nah.

It's gonna be wall-to-wall losers,
no doubt about it.

(Becky chuckles)

I love it when a plan comes together.

But I know all these men already.

Yeah, but do you KNOW know them?

G'day, Vince.

G'day, Nick, Alex.

What's the ponz doing here?

Petey?

Doesn't stand a chance, mate.

Not with you here.

I don't see any women giving you the eye.

Have you heard of playing hard to get,
Nick?

What a sister, eh?

Going to all this trouble
just to find Claire a bloke.

Oh, what a fiance, jumping at the chance

to meet other women.

Oh, you're scared I'll find someone

I like better than you.

Well, I might meet my perfect match.

(Dave chuckles) Only one way to find out.

Always correcting me.

Yeah.

What a surprise.

You're desperate for a date.

Well you're here too.

I live here.

Whatever you say.

(people chatting)

Everyone, if you could take your places!

Thank you, gentlemen, this side.

Ladies, that side.

Fast game's a good game,
come on, take your seats!

Now, this is pretty straightforward,

when the bell rings,
each pair has six minutes.

The gentlemen start
with their three minutes

and then the ladies, their three minutes.

And when the bell rings again,
the gentlemen,

take one seat to your right.

Good luck everyone
and your time starts now!

(bell rings)

I'm a butcher, but I love animals.

Pigs especially.

You know, pigs are really clever.

The customs train 'em as sniffer pigs!

They're cleverer than dogs.

Then there's my brother, Steve.

He's a plumber.

So that makes five.

Five brothers.
Mhm.

Well no wonder you're
so desperate for attention.

And did you know pigs blush? (Laughs)

(bell rings)

They do, their ears turn bright red!

Sorry, that's it, time's up!

And you know pigs are really close

to human beings genetically.

That's why they use them
in all those organ transplants.

You know, using pig parts.

Who knows?

One day we could all be part pig!

Imagine that!

I bet you're the youngest.

The spoiled one in the family.

Wrong, I'm an only child.

That explains everything.

Like what?

Really?

Me too, I can't believe it,

I never found anyone who liked that song.

My boyf... my friend
won't even let me hum it.

(bell rings)

Nice to meet you.

Have a good day.
You too.

Hello.
G'day.

Didn't expect to see you here.

Why not?

Good way to filter out the detritus.

What?

Well don't tell me you
don't know within 30 seconds

whether you like someone or not.

I think we could whittle that down

to 15 seconds in your case.

Beer over wine, jeans over dress,
boots over heels.

Country over city.

Not all things from the city are bad,
you know.

You are saying I'm self-obsessed,
aren't you?

You're the only child, you tell me.

You two know the whole
point is to move around

and get to know other people, don't you?

Just a second.

Name one, single,
self-obsessed thing I've done.

See, it's all about you.

Isn't it?

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Most people didn't like the sequels,
but I thought...

Modern art versus traditional.

Yeah, well Tess wrote it for me.

She script all your conversations,
does she?

No.

Look, I've traveled,
I've moved out of home,

I work hard every single day.

How can you say I'm a princess?

Look at my dirty nails!

Well for my money, I'd say modern art.

Uh, I'd much rather know
what it was I was looking at.

I don't need to understand something

to know that I like it.

Well, wouldn't you like it more

if you knew what it was trying to say?

So what are you trying to say, Claire?

Yeah, and pork is a really versatile meat.

You know, it's lean,
it's easy to cook, you can roast it,

you can fry it, you can mince it,
you can cure it.

Cure it! (Laughs)

No such thing as mad pigs disease, eh!

(bell rings)

Oh, yeah, talk to you real soon, eh?

(chairs rattle)

No, Adam, you can't sit here,
I'm the time keeper,

I'm not part of the proceedings.

Pigs, right, are just beautiful.

So you found anyone?

A couple of potentials.

Yeah, good.

I thought you and Dave were still engaged.

We are.

So you're just leading
the other guys on then?

No.

Did you tell 'em you were engaged?

Well for the purpose of this evening, no.

(Nick laughs)

How do you reckon it's going?

For six minutes anyone
can seem interesting.

I think it's good to be friends first.

Do you think this'll work?

It has to.

Show the world I can do it on my own.

Is that what this is about?

What?

Proving something?

What's wrong with that?

So you should just take back what you said,

I'm not a typical, only child.

Maybe.

You're a typical blonde, though.

What?

(bell rings)

And now the moment
you've all been waiting for.

Write down the name of the person or people

that you fancy with your phone number.

And if they've done the same for you,

I'll arrange a swap.

Then the rest is up to you.

And don't worry, no one will know

whose phone number has gone to whom.

Unless, of course,
you're the person to whom it's gone.

I think you've missed your calling!

Enjoy the rest of the evening.

Meet anyone you like?

Nah, I was too busy fighting with Toby.

Oi, Nick!

You're not leaving without me, are you?

Thought you'd be
fighting all the ladies off.

Not much a bloke can do in six minutes.

Maybe not some.

I don't see you heading home with anyone.

Yeah, well they're all matched up.

Tess - Dave, Jodi-Tobi, Claire-Vince.

Claire and Vince are not a couple, mate.

What quick dating session
have you been going to?

Yeah, I'm not into this.

I might just go to the pub,
buy some lucky lady a drink.

Haven't seen it working for you lately.

Haven't been to the pub much lately,
have I?

You see, a woman knows exactly

what a bloke buying
her a drink is really after.

That's why they're using the Internet.

Yeah,
you're that desperate you'd know, huh?

It's easier to get rid of a
Desperado in cyberspace

than if he's standing right next to you

trying to get you drunk.

Think about that.

G'day.
Hi.

So, how was that?

Well I met someone who
likes all the "Rocky" movies,

drinking cold beer on a Saturday afternoon

and watching the cricket.

You?

There was one guy who liked the same music,

appreciated organic food,
into self-improvement.

Mhm, your perfect match.

Nah, too serious.

Yours?

I'm looking at her.

Ahh.

So, heading down Vince Lavise's drive,
are we?

What makes you say that?

I saw the way you were talking to him.

Oh, you're jealous, are you?

(laughs) It was just an observation.

Well, Lavise drive's on the map.

Won't rule it out.

Yeah well, it's a quick route.

(soft violin music)

Better hurry up, boss will get stroppy.

Claire's cool.

No, Jake.

He left ten minutes ago.

We're both the bosses.

All right.

I know what I'm doing.

Jake would never suggest
to go into business with me

if he didn't think I could do it.

All right, it was just a joke.

It was never gonna be easy, but...

Well, I knew it would never be like

the two of us hanging out
like the way we used to.

Don't see why not.

Well there's more to think about now.

There's Claire and Jake and
the business and a relationship.

I've just got to work out
how to balance all that.

Maybe you need to learn how to juggle.

Nah, we'll be fine.

(Adam whistles)

(knocks on door)

Adam!

What a surprise.

Home delivery.

Freshly cured.

Thank you.

Yeah, while I'm here I might
as well get the phone numbers

of all the interested ladies. (Chuckles)

I, I hit it off with quite a few.

Mind you, there's one in particular.

Every time your shop bell rings,

I can't help thinking about you.

You can ring my bell any day, lovely lady.

(bell rings)

(Adam laughs)
Time's up, mate!

(Meg laughs)

The bell.

Right, I'll be off then.

See you later.

Mmm, pork!

Yeah, I'm not sure we should accept it.

Of course we should, of course we should.

You know,
I was never lonely until you told me I was.

What are you talking about?

No one left their number.

Well, the pig guy did but...

You know, he left his number for everyone.

Sorry.

Oh, I've got bom.

And you lot.

I don't need a man.

'Course not.
Nup.

Their loss, not yours.

Too right.

So, anyone find true love last night?

You know I can't discuss the details.

Come on, mum, it's only me.

It's no use, I tried all night.

Couldn't even get a hint out of her.

All I will say is that you seem

to have a very interested party.

Made sure I had his number.

Me?

Who?

Well you were talking to him all night.

Toby?

Mum, I was talking to him
because I don't like him.

That makes sense.

You didn't say anything to him, did you?

Well I thought you must have just

forgotten to give your phone number.

He gave me his to give to you.

He did?

But if you don't want it...

I don't.

But I'm just gonna go
take it now and throw it out.

I thought we had agreed on this.

I didn't know, Jake didn't day anything.

See you next week.

Thanks, mate.

What's going on?

It's business as usual.

We agreed you'd let me run things my way.

No we didn't.

Jake, can I have a word?

I've gotta get back to Dave,

he's checking our Morgenson's mare.

Yeah, well, it can wait.

I can't believe you didn't
discuss this with me!

I acted in our best interest!

By putting Claire offside!

How do you think my
father got so successful?

He did what was best for the business

even if no one else agreed.

No, you're not him, you have a partner.

Besides, when did you start liking

the way your father worked?

Why do you keep taking
Claire's side on this?

I'm not taking sides!

Really?

'Cause it looks that way to me.

I'm not sure if it's fine,
doesn't say here.

Yeah, no, it's too soon to join.

Especially if there were complications.

(horse whinnies)

Are you gonna be looking
over my shoulder every second?

This mare's not ready.

I'll hear it from the vet, thanks.

Jake!

Look, Storm Cloud is my stallion,

so I'm the one running this business,
not everyone else.

Your stallion.

Beck!

You know what I meant.

Yeah, I do.

I'm the partner you have
when you don't have a partner.

(horse neighs)

I was just trying to
make a point to Claire.

Well you made one to me too.

That stuff about running the business,

I meant it was ours, not just mine.

Get that mare out of here,
Becky, lead rope!

Ha, ha, ha!

(horse snorts)

If Storm Cloud gets near that horse,

he'll kill him!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

(horse whinnies)

Easy, boy, easy!

Whoa, easy, boy.

Whoa!

Steady.

Steady.

Fighting over a woman's
bad for your health, mate.

Take it from me.

(horse grunts)

Good boy.

What were you thinking?

(intense music)

If Storm Cloud were my horse...

It's not just breeding,
it's training, it's everything.

Preaching to the converted here.

Yeah, it was a mistake.

Don't you say: "I told you so!"

Tells you something, though.

Doesn't it, Claire?

It's time to get a move on
and make our own plans.

Build the stud.

Develop a program.

Yep.

And this time we'll do it my way.

Our way.

Slow and steady.

Okay, I said I made a mistake,
I was distracted.

It's not the mistake I was talking about.

Are we really gonna fight
over one slip of the tongue?

No, we're not.

You're right, Storm Cloud is your horse,

it was your father's
money that paid for it.

I don't see it that way.

And it's your business,
you want it more than I do

and you want to run it your way.

With you!

Or without me.

I never even wanted a horse
stud until Jake brought it up.

He was so excited about it,
it seemed like a good idea.

It's never a good idea to
work with your boyfriend, Beck.

Everyone knows that.

Everyone but me.

Well, hey, at least you've got a boyfriend.

All I've got is the phone number

of a guy who insults me all the time.

Jake's more like his
father than he'll ever admit.

Well, better to end it sooner

rather than later, I suppose.

Just hope Becky's not too upset.

I think Becky's more upset
with Jake than with you.

So, you better hurry up and get dressed.

For what?

You've got a date.

Tess, I told you,

I know,
but there was a late reply to your email.

And he sounds perfect, he's into horses,

he even lives in the area.

Tell me you're joking.

Edgemont Guest House tonight.

He'll be carrying a red rose,

you'll be wearing a red dress and...

I don't believe this.

Just email him and tell
him there was a mistake.

Well I can't because the server's down.

I don't have a red dress.

I know.

But I do.

(Charlotte burps)
Oh!

There you go!

So is this it?

Just like that?

We can't run a business together.

(horse huffs)

I wasn't talking about the business.

Is this it for us?

You can't...

You can't see it, can you?

You try so hard to prove

that you're nothing like your family,

and in the end you're just the same.

I can change.

(Becky sighs) Well.

You let me know where you end up.

You'll come see me?

Couldn't stay away from
Storm Cloud too long.

(Jake chuckles) If I
happen to be there too?

We'll see.

I never meant for it to be like this.

Me either.

(latch clinks)

(solemn music)

Nick!

Hello?

Nick!

Oh, hey, mum got a call,

she said there was like
a CFS emergency and...

Is this some kind of joke?

Nah,
I was just wondering why you hadn't called.

What?

Well I gave you my number.

Yeah, yesterday.

Yeah,
normally it doesn't take girls this long.

If this is what you
have to do to get a date.

Hey, who said anything about a date?

Well what do you want then?

To see if you wanted to
go to the movies with me?

Yeah, on a date.

You keep using that word.

I think you've got the hots for me.

(Jodi clicks tongue)

You okay?

Yeah.

If you wanna come up to the house,

No, thanks.

You met someone at quick dating.

Oh, nah.

It's just another one
of Tess' bright ideas.

Well you look good.

Thanks.

I'm sorry it didn't work out.

I'll survive.

Look, if you change your mind,
just, you know, come on up.

Yeah.

(car engine roars)

Ooooh!

Get out!

Great, just great!

(tire hisses)

Need a hand there?

Well as usual, you've turned up

when all the hard work's been done!

Nice outfit, Claire.

You should wear that on the next muster.

Oh, look, do you have an
old towel or something I could?

Favorite activity is horse riding?

Oh...

Meet you at the Edgemont with a red rose?

Well since when do you
date over the Internet, Claire?

Since when do you?

Just keeping my options open.

(both laugh)

Look, I don't want to waste a good frock,

so you wanna go out to dinner?

Yeah.

Good.
