Original subtitles

We were just talking about motorbikes, Mum.

Oh, did Matt mention hewants to get his license?

I can actually see him as the easy one.

Can't you?

He's not falling off.

No, he's not.

Matt, I would like you to meet Rosalie

Kumar, my sister mother.

Is this your boyfriend?

I thought maybe tomorrow night,

uh, I'd like to cook you dinner.

Dinner?

Sort of as a thank youfor everything you've done.

What if this dinner isn't just dinner?

What if this dinner is more than dinner?

This food stinks and I'm a drunk.

Helen?

HELEN GREGORY: Did you thinkdinner was just dinner?

No.

Oh, god.

Was it?

Maybe Heaven wanted me tofind the time capsule with you

because she wanted us to spend the day together

when we were all grown up.

MICHAEL ANDERSON: Your dad said you

didn't come home last night.

What about Darren?

I think they're going to break up.

We could have something.

Darren.

Oh, god.

NATALIE ANDERSON: Mrs. Darren Radcliffe,

phone call, line one.

Thank you.

Jess Radcliffe speaking.

NATALIE ANDERSON: That sounds all right.

Nurse Radcliffe, medical emergency on ward five.

Great, now I sound like thepsycho nurse out of "One Flew

Over the Cuckoo's Nest."

Then double barrel it.

Hello, my name'sJessica Dailey-Radcliffe.

I don't think so.

Why did he have to ask me to marry him?

He loves you, I guess.

I just-- I don't know what to do.

NATALIE ANDERSON: You'll make the right decision.

[theme music]

THEME SONG: Take me to thatopen, silent space where

the earth breathes your name.

Meet me underneath the starlight sky.

All our troubles fade away.

Hold me now, as the golden sunlight

warms across your face.

La, la, la.

Toby's idea of aromantic night out, dinner

at the footy club.

Whereas, Darren, youknow, he tries, you know?

He really makes an effort.

Tick for effort.

You know, he even holds the door open for me?

Big tick for manners.

He's emotionally intelligent.

He can talk things through.

Whereas, Toby runs a mile when it comes

to talking about feelings.

Why are you talking about Toby so much?

The question is, do you love Darren,

and are you going to marry him?

Yeah, I know.

It's a bit annoying.

Sorry. MATT MARIONE: It's OK.

Sorry.

MATT MARIONE: It's OK.DARREN RADCLIFFE: Sorry, Matt.

It's OK.

So, so what-- what's the basic plan?

Are you just going to stayand crawl the walls until she

gets back with an answer, or--

Well, what if she's testing me?

You know, she's saying stay away.

But what if she's actuallysaying don't stay away?

I don't know, man.

I don't.

I don't know.

It all seems a little bitlike a cheap, romance novel.

Yeah, yeah, I'm just going to call her.

No, no I wouldn't.

Big mistake, big mistake.

Why?

Well, I don't know aboutmarriage proposals, mate,

but I can say with some authority

that women hate men that beg.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You're not even trying.

Well, maybe it's you that's not even trying.

I'm winning.

Yes, but am I losing?

It's staggering, isn't it?

The philosophical questionthis game is raising.

Your turn.

I mean, suddenly thewhole nature of existence

is up for grabs.

I think, therefore you are.

Yes, but am I?

You're not going to smoke me out

of here with your existential mumbo jumbo.

Take your shot.

You know you can't hide in here forever.

I don't handle humiliation very well.

You know that.

Of course you know that.

That was a dumb move, wasn't it?

JACK JAFFERS: Hey, you'renot getting away that easily.

Come to Papa.

Who's your daddy?

Hey!

JACK JAFFERS: Helen?

There's somewhere to park the Melbourne Star.

JACK JAFFERS: What are you doing?

Uh, I'm-- I'm just off to the supermarket.

We're going to have to ban aerial billiards.

This brained Brian Nelson last night.

Lucky he was too drunk to notice.

I'll see you then.

Hey, um, you're notstill embarrassed about--

Oh, of course not.

Because if I lockedmyself in my room every time

I was embarrassed, I wouldhave been in there since 1983.

Hey, uh, describe to me your perfect day.

What?

You got a day free, what do you do?

Why?

Because that's what we're doing.

What, do you feel sorry for me?

No, you're doing a prettygood job of that yourself.

What, so you want to spend the day with me

doing things that I like doing?

Let's do it.

OK.

All right.

All righty.

Now that, Jack, is a shopping center.

And I love shopping centers.

This is seriously how youwant to spend the whole day?

What are you thinking?

Wouldn't it be great to comeup with one minute noodles?

You'd blow two minutenoodles out of the water.

Seriously?

Yeah, what were you thinking?

Nothing.

Come on, you've been quiet.

There must be something going on up there.

Oh, I was just thinking this is nice.

Yeah.

I certainly wasn't concoctingplans for the global domination

of the noodle market.

I'm having fun too.

Good.

I could call her byaccident, you know what I mean?

Pretend that I pushed the wrong button.

It's the oldest trick in the book, mate.

She'll say through that.

What?

I said it's the oldest trick in the book.

She'll-- she'll see through it.

Hey, do you know anything about bikes?

Yeah, well, I mean, Ihad a dirt bike as a kid.

Yeah?

There's a bike I'm looking at buying.

Maybe you can help me check it out.

Get your mind off this.

That's a road bike.

Yeah, it's a Triumph.

You trying to sex up your image a bit, mate?

What does that mean?

Well, you're buying a bike, aren't you?

Yeah, yeah, you want to come?

No, I want to be here if Jess comes back.

No, come on, you need distraction.

I need a lift.

You're driving me.

[theme music]

Hi, uh, Jean?

You here about the bike?

Yes.

Around the side.

Yeah, built in '49, got a full service

history, 40 on theclock, been in the garage

most of it's life.

Would you mind if I started her up?

Do what you like.

All right, it ain't your mother's crystal.

Kick it like a dog.

[motor running]

If you got the choice of a whiny Japanese buzzing

between your legs, or one of these animals,

it's a no contest, I reckon.

Yeah, great.

She's a beauty.

It's good.

DARREN RADCLIFFE: Why are you selling it?

Brought me nothing but bad luck.

What-- what do you carewhy I'm getting rid of it?

Um, would you-- would you just mind if I

had a moment to think about it?

Mate, a Triumph like this in this condition

is worth at least eight grand.

Really?

She wants two.

Yeah, I reckon it's stolen.

No, no, the paperwork's all fine.

She's had it since '98.

Well, if you don't buy it, I will.

OK.

Hey, um, would you mind if Icame by tomorrow with the cash?

It's today, mate, or nothing.

OK, um, OK, how about this afternoon?

1, at the latest.

Don't come after.

I won't be here.

Right.

Jess, if you keep thinking about it,

you'll just talk yourself out of it.

It's difficult.

What did we say about this trip?

Get out and get some headspace, have some fun.

Emphasis on fun.

Oh, look, look, look.

What?

Perentie.

All right, you go around thatside, scare it towards me.

Are you for real?

NATALIE ANDERSON: Yeah, where's the shovel?

[laughs]

Why are we doing this?

I don't want to show up at community

without a gift, come on.

Ooh, there it goes, there it goes.

This is crazy.

At least you're not thinkingabout a marriage proposal.

No, it's getting away.

Hey, Delaney, what have you done with my son?

He's in the car.

Well, if anything happens to him

you're going to be on night shift for a month.

Just kidding.

[laughs]

[WHISPERS] 1, 2, 3.

At least you want to havebetter shoes than that.

You're going to be hiking in the desert.

They can't make me carry anything.

You do want to be a tour operator, right?

Take tourists out in thedesert, show them the sights.

It's what your dad told me.

My dad thinks I'm a fool.

He thinks everyone's afool, he even said you are.

That's what he said.

Well, I'm sure you've takensomething out of context.

He said 'cause you let your wife run

around with that young doctor guy,

and don't do anything about it.

If my wife ever did that to me, I'd--

You're a real chip offthe old block, aren't you?

They can't make me carry anything.

What's that for?

Nothing.

Did you drop one?

No, I was just thinking about Jess, you moron.

The other night was kind of cool.

I wonder what her boyfriend'sgot to say about that.

He's old news.

Oh, you did drop one.

That stinks, Tobe.

Boys.

Good day.

This is Ashley Milroy,superintendent Milroy's son.

Toby, Mike.

Welcome aboard.

MICHAEL ANDERSON: How are ya?- Hi.

So you want to get into the tour business?

I wanted to do workexperience at the fruit barn,

but they were full up.

[beeping]

Excuse me.

Oh, he's an upbeat little fella.

I'm glad someone told himabout the casual clothes.

I appreciate you doing this, boys.

We'll try to bring him back in one piece.

Don't try too hard.

Hi, Rosalie.

How you doing?

Good to see you, Rosie.

You too, Jess.

Hey, did you manage toget those medical supplies?

Oh, sure did.

I have brought you all thecolours of the rainbow.

Wow.

Lightly auburn.

Mm, nice.

Hey, what's up with you, dear?

Nothing.

Come on, Jess.

Since I got my eyes fixed,I've got X-ray vision.

She got proposed to.

Yeah?

Yeah, um, I don't know what to do.

Well, he's good looking, isn't he?

Yeah.

ROSALIE: Do you love him?

Yeah.

Yeah, then get married.

Oh, now you got that otherfella chasing you around.

He's a good bloke too.

If it wasn't for him, Iwouldn't have my eyes fixed.

Oh, Matt.

Rosie, Matt's not chasing after me.

What's wrong with him?

You're a good girl.

I bet I could fix him up with you.

I can sing him if you like?

Thanks, but not my type.

Since the royal wedding we have

been very eager to see the birthplace

of our Princess Mary.

Yeah, we have been toher shores and her peaks,

and now her beautiful red center.

Sounds like you're feeling her up.

Yeah, well we had them out here last year.

So we can show you all the places they visited.

TOURIST 1: Fantastic

They weren't out here last year.

TOBY DELANEY: Yeah, they were.

It's not like I'm stitched up.

I mean, you know, but I think you're right.

I think the bike isgoing to sex up my image.

I think Ellie is going to be pretty impressed.

- Yeah. - Oh, yeah.

It's good to be unpredictable.

You reckon?

Big time, just to catchthem off guard a little bit,

catch them by surprise.

See, nothing is unsexy than indecision.

From now on I'm a virile man of action.

So am I, yeah.

What?

Where you going?

I'm going to find Jess.

I need a lift.

There he is.

We gave you a simple job,go in and buy the sandwich

ingredients, right?

Now, stop perving and get going.

I'm not perving.

It's my girlfriend, Miranda.

She's been talking withthat guy since I got here.

Yeah, well, she's very pretty.

But we've got a tour group.

So let's go.

Just give me a second.

There's no way she'sgoing to burn you for him.

You're a much better prospect.

But you know what he's got that I don't?

Disposable income.

Girls go for that big time.

It's how come my mum took off.

Yeah, well, mate, if it'smeant to be with Miranda,

it's meant to be.

Girls turn everything upside down.

Isn't it great?

Mm, maybe they pump somethinginto the air here, 'cause this

actually tastes all right.

Did you know that crabmeat is actually made out

of wheat and fish flavoriser?

They call it crab saladbut it's actually made out

of wheat and fishflavoriser, with a little bit

of orange on the side forthat touch of authenticity.

Yum.

That's fascinating, Jack.

I think it goes against the laws of nature.

But who made those laws?

People like you and me.

And if we made them, we can break them.

I mean, we live in a universe where

the possibilities arelimited only by the bounds

of our imagination.

I think you've had enough of that.

Yeah, I'm starting to feel a bit numb.

What I was going to saywas, anything's possible.

You going platinum, Rosie?

Not in your life, Val.

Last time that happened it was a total disaster.

Tried to get the color back,ended up with green hair.

George couldn't bloody kiss me'cause of too much laughing.

I thought you and George were just mates.

Oh, you can't be mates when somebody's only

got one thing on their mind.

And what about Toby boy?

He's your friend.

Yeah, but neither of uswanted to be just friends.

We're just too chicken tomake the first move, I guess.

Was that the same with Darren then?

No, that was instant.

That was lust.

Send her off to a convent sort of lust.

Then what's your problem then, sister?

It's all just happening too fast.

I think if you're going tospend the rest of your life

with someone, you want to--you want to know them at least.

The less you know about afellow, the better, I reckon.

The mystery keeps it interesting.

What if she says no to him?

Can a relationship keep going, or is it over?

Two people that don'twant the same thing, what's

the point in staying together?

ELLIE DELANEY: Ooh, this is a first.

I've never dated a biker before.

Yeah, you feel dangerous?

Ooh, yes, you hot hunk of L plate, you.

Hey, you be nice to me ifyou want a dink on the beast.

A dink?

Yeah, no, a ride on the beast.

Damn.

Hi, Jean.

Ellie, this is Jean.

Hi.

Jean, Ellie.

I said 1 at the latest.

Sorry, sorry, it's-- it's five past.

Money?

Yes, yes, I do.

It's, uh, it's all there.

[motorbike engine]

Pretty sexy, huh?

Yeah, I love it.

Yeah.

God, you got to get out of here.

- What? - You had to come late.

Just get out of here.

What?

He'll kill ya if he sees you.

Just get out of here.

What?

No, no, hang on, hang on.JEAN: Get out.

- No, wait, hang on. - Get out of here.

Hang on, wait.

Can I have my money back, please?

No, no, wait. - Come on, Matt.

Give me my money back, please.

Give it-- what--

So this is what you leave me for?

A bloody L plater.

Mate, I was just interested in buying it.

Tell him, Jean. JEAN: I'm not--

Hey, wait, Jean?

I'm not on with him, for god's sake's.

I'm selling Dudley.

My Triumph?

Hang on, hang on, hang on.You're Gene?

- Yeah. - And who are you?

That's Tracy.

You hold on.

What the hell are you doing?

You know how much I love that bike.

OK, listen, just give me my money

and I'll be going, please.

- He rode Dudley. - What?

No, no, no, no, I only started it up.

I didn't actually ride him.- Get out of here.

Hey, no, give me my money.

Get out of here!

Hey, hey, don't push me around, short man.

Ooh.

Short man?

No, no, no, dead man.

It didn't really go to plan did it?

Tried to buy a bike, and get beaten up by Grumpy.

You want me to go in with you?

You want to hold my hand?

No thanks.

I've had enough humiliation for one day.

I don't want to make a complaintabout the assault. I just--

I just want the money back.

Sure.

What happened to you?

You know that Gene Faraday?

Small man, rides a Harley,got an attitude problem.

Yeah.

Well, he just kicked Mr.Marione's, uh, backside for a--

What?

You and his Mrs. having alittle something on the side,

was it?

Is that true?

No, no, I was there for a bike.

Do you mind?

You blow him away.

He's made a fool of you.

And you owe him nothing.

Thanks, thank you.

If you'd been cheating on my wife-- and I know

how screwed up that sounds--

I will kick your eyes out through your ears.

Hugh, I was there to look at a bike, OK?

The girlfriend was sellingit behind the guy's back.

He found out about it. And he went nuts.

And now they won't give my money back.

You want to help getting it?

No, no, I don't.

They're going to look into it.

Oh, good.

Mm-hmm.

TOURIST 2: For us this islike our second honeymoon.

Yeah?

TOURIST 2: Ya, we have been married 12 years.

You're kidding?

You guys look so young.

Childhood sweethearts.

We met at high school.

TOBY DELANEY: Oh, right.

Well, I'm still with myhigh school sweetheart too.

Well, we're-- we're sort of together.

We've gone through some ups and downs,

but we're on an up at the moment.

What?

I'm happy for you.

JESS DAILEY: It looks beautiful.

It looks so hot.

Hey.

Hey, lovely lady.

George is going to love this, your hair.

Yeah, it looks great.

Beautiful.

DARREN RADCLIFFE: Hey, Jess.

It's your man again.

Yeah.

Hi.

Hey.

How did you know I was here?

This is where it all started.

Do you mind if we take a walk?

Boy, this isn't called bludge experience.

Are you going to do some work or what?

Miranda's not returning my texts.

Maybe she's at work.

She's hanging out with this Phil guy.

But he's a night filler.

So what's he doing there this time of day?

So you reckon she's takenoff with night filler Phil?

Yeah, well, she's not returning my texts.

I'm going to take that thing off you.

You can't do that.

I don't work here.

Never a truer word spoken.

OK, the reason she's not returning your texts

is because she's snogging nightfiller Phil in the cold store.

So give up.

Loser.

He's not serious.

Go and make yourself usefuland get the picnic table.

That was a bit harsh, man.

He had it coming.

I love you very much, my beautiful.

Mm, I know.

Look at that.

It's amazing, still happyafter all these years.

[door slams]

Oi!

Hey, come back, Ashley!

Where are you going?

What is he doing?

Oh, come on.

You've got to be kidding me.

I was kidding, mate.

Do you mind me coming out here?

It's OK.

The answer's no, isn't it?

Look, I can deal with no.

I can't-- I just, uh, notknowing is killing me.

So you'd be OK if I said no?

That's not what I'm saying, Jess.

You know what I mean.

You want to settle down.

But last month we spent what?

One night under the same roof?

It was a pretty good night, though.

Then we don't see each other for three weeks.

I know.

It's crazy.

So I-- I-- I'm going to get a transfer to a mine

closer to town.

No, that's not it.

It's-- how-- how well do weactually know each other?

We spend a night here, a couple of days there.

And it's great. And it's intense.

Well, I know that you snore alittle when you drink red wine.

Let's be serious.

I am serious, look, you leavedental floss on the vanity.

You hate cop shows.

You know, you're the only personI've ever met that actually

uses a personal budgeter.

You care for and you're kindto the people that need it.

You love your mum more than anything.

And you miss her even more than that.

You park your car a little bittoo far away from the curb.

Your favorite vegetable is avocado.

It's a fruit.

What?

Avocado is a fruit.

It's got a pip.

See, that's what I'm talking about.

That's smile of yours, Jess.

It just-- it lights me up.

I don't need to know anymore than I already know.

Look, this is pretty simple.

I'm just a bloke standing here, telling the girl

I'm in love with--

Hey, guys!

What?

It's Toby and Michael.

They need our help.

Just give me a little bit of time.

TOBY DELANEY: Thanks for this.

No worries.

MICHAEL ANDERSON: We're notall going to fit in here.

Oh, got it sorted.

Hey, Nat, do you want to ride with Darren?

Not really.

Great.

I'll go with him.

I'm sure we can find something to talk about.

JESS DAILEY: Hey.

Uh, so you are the Jess fromToby's high school days, yeah?

Yeah, that's right.

Ah, he has told us all about you, yeah.

You're lucky.

He's very nice man.

What did Toby say?

TOURIST 1: How they got together at high school.

We met at high school.

Oh, nice.

He's very much in love.

Yeah, I-- jump in.

What brings you out this way, anyway?

Jess.

And how are things goingbetween the two of you?

Great.

Who would have thought doingnothing would be so much hey?

Toasted ham and cheese sandwich?

Nothing better.

Except eating in them in bed.

All right then.

My mum would never let me eat in bed.

Crumbs in the sheets.

Yeah.

That's why we're doing it in my room, hey?

Yeah.

She would make an exception,though, if I were sick.

And occasionally I'd--

I'd fake it.

I always knew you had a wild side.

Hey, I know how to make this even more perfect.

But, oh, no, Hel--

Helen, I'm going to-- to draw the line

at-- if you're going to talkabout Gwyneth's beauty secrets.

No, no, no, we'll do the quiz.

"Discover your personalitystyle, 50 questions

to reveal the real you."

You believe in that stuff?

No, no, I just--

I like checking the boxes.

It's quite satisfying.

Oh, all right.

OK.

"If you were an animal, wouldyou be A a koala, B a platypus,

C a dingo, or D a frilled neck lizard"?

Well, you'd definitely be a platypus.

Well, I'm-- I'm a weirdmammal with fur and a beak?

A little weird, but, uh, butbeautiful with a unique charm.

Ah, what about you?

I suppose you think you're a dingo?

What?

Adventurous, playful,and always up to no good?

Yeah, that sounds a bit like me.

Actually, I think you'remore frilled neck lizard.

You know, lies in the sun, puts up his frill when

he wants a bit of attention.

You don't know me at all, Helen.

OK, question number 48.

"Which of these things do youvalue most in a relationship?

A compatibility, B comfort,C candor, or D chemistry"?

Which is it?

E, all of the above.

Then you'd be right.

And I suppose you'd answer D to question 50.

Um, um, D, what was-- what was D?

D is I'm sick of this quiz.

Let's do something else.

Come on.

A phone call would have been helpful, boys.

You let my kid drive without a license?

He's 13 years old.

Hey, he stole it.

Well, we'll see what amagistrate says about that.

All right, hang on, hang on, Trevor.

You've got witnesses?

BOTH: Yeah.

Two.

What do you say to that?

At least he can drive.

Are you kidding?

Can you smell the clutch?

That will need to be paid for.

Send the bill to Superintendent Milroy.

So does this matter need to go any further?

Not as far as I'm concerned.

Well, he's crying, and he's in the car.

Come on.

TOBY DELANEY: Are you OK?

I'm sorry.

I'm an idiot.

She broke up with me.

Yeah, well, you just gottalearn how to trust people more.

You can't go on behaving like this.

What are you talking about?

You were right in the first place.

She's on with Philip.

I got burned.

I really got to talk to Jess.

MICHAEL ANDERSON: You want to do what?

Move in.

Why?

NATALIE ANDERSON: I can'tstay on Jess's couch forever.

Come on.

I'm your big sister.

I own you.

Hey, what's going on with Jess and Daza?

They seem a little bit weird today.

Hi, Toby.

Hi, what's the story?

That would be betraying her trust.

Yeah, but as the best mate of your brother,

your allegiance shouldautomatically be with me.

As your housemate, I might be able to supply

you with certain information.

You want to move in?

Great.

Great?

Well, don't think you can tellme to put the toilet seat down.

As long as I get the front room,

we'll all get along just fine.

MICHAEL ANDERSON: No way, that is mine.

Jess and Daza?

Darren said something heprobably wishes he didn't say.

Ha ha, do tell us.

Sorry, that's all you're getting.

Well, doesn't matter.

I'll find out from her.

She's at the Bar Bar having a drink.

Great.

Welcome.

This is never going to work.

Hey, you got a big foot, sis.

Hey, you got a big head, bro.

[laughs]

[music playing]

Ha ha, Yahtzee.

The reigning championsuccessfully defends her title,

again.

You sure you're not letting me win?

Like you need help.

I'm really enjoying this.

Yeah.

Yahtzee.

Yahtzee back.

Mugs away.

Is this seat taken?

Go for your life.

I went by the workshop to look for ya.

With the amount of gear you got,you could build the guy a bike.

You heard the saga.

Make sure he gets that, will you?

Give it to him yourself.

He'll be coming out the loo in a minute.

You didn't have to do that, you know.

Thank you.

Citizen makes a complaint.

I'm duty bound to follow it through.

There you go, mate.

Thanks.

I suppose I owe you a drink.

I'll be in there.

Hi.

Hey, I--

I moved all my stuff out of your place.

I'm just going to get back to work.

No, Darren.

Don't do that.

Can't wait around forever foryou just to make your mind up,

Jess.

Got other things to do.

I don't really remember what my life

was like before you were in it.

And I don't really want to imagine what

it'd be like without you in it.

I just want you and I to be forever.

Don't, don't.

God, I told him not to beg.

Look.

Jess-- will you marry me?

Yes.

Hey, Ellie.

Let him be.

Ladies and gentlemen, drinks are on me.

She said yes.

[cheers]

We could celebrate.

I took a punt on Jack Danielsversus Veuve Clicquot.

Was I right?

Good guess.

Before you know it, I'll be a granddad.

That's something to drink to.

Yeah.

Yahtzee.

Yahtzee back.

I had a great day today, thanks.

Yeah, me too.

Salami.

Salami.

Gorgonzola.

She's only 23 years old.

How can you mate for life at that age?

Well, I got married when I was 23.

Yeah, and look how that ended.

Sorry, can I take that one back?

It will end badly when you think about it.

You're either tearing eachother's eyes out, or you die.

Misery or death, they're the options.

Yeah, well, I might hit the sack.

Good night.

I got it double strength, like you said.

Thanks, mate.

I saw Miranda on the way here.

The worst thing is I'mgoing to see her every day.

It's going to be like picking an old scab.

That sucks.

Here, your certificates.

I hate feeling like this.

Me too.
