[theme music playing]

[Rachel] Almost
every magazine we pick up

tells us we can have it all.

The trifecta:
the perfect job,

the perfect man...

the perfect life.

But where do you even start?

Where do you get the energy?

The focus.

It was time. Time to emerge

from my self-induced coma,

reconnect with my goals,

and go for gold.

[beeping]

Eighteen, nineteen...

Twenty three...twenty four.

[singer] ♪ I can dream
the rest away ♪

♪ It's just a little touch
of fate, it'll be okay ♪

[Rachel] Whatever makes you
sit up and rattle your cage,

that's where you find focus.

-Oh, morning.
-Bye, mom.

Um, that time already, is it?

A bit before
that time, I'd say...

[alarm clock beeping]

[Julie] Come on, Rachel.
It's 7:30.

You snooze, you lose. Get up!

[Rachel] But I hadn't found
my focus.

-[Julie] Up!
-[Rachel] In fact,

I hadn't found any focus.

I wasn't quite there yet.

I was running late.

[dramatic music playing]

[door closes]

-[Ben] Hey, Rach.
-[Rachel] Hey, sorry,

can't stop, sorry.

Landed a big account
last night. Very busy.

Slow down.

You'll give yourself
a heart attack.

-[Libby] Oh, my God.
-[Rachel] Oh, Libby,

you scared the hell out of me.

[Libby] I just heard the news.

The Michelton account.

Come on, you can tell me.

You aced it, didn't you?

Ooh, the boss
is creaming his jeans.

Ew. Graphic.

[Libby] It's true.
Ronan loves you.

Well I humbly accept
your congratulations

even if it means I am going
to be chained to my desk.

[George] Rachel, hey.

Sorry, am I interrupting
anything?

-[Libby] Yes.
-[Rachel] Yep.

Michelton, eh?

Awesome. Really, awesome.

What have you got there,
George?

It's kind of like a...
a present.

It's a book.
"An Angel At My Table".

Act...actually,
it's for you...

No truly it, it'll change
your life.

-Inspiring.
-Thank you, George.

[George] But I guess
if we really want to celebrate

the Michelton thing,
we should go for a drink?

The three of us.

Actually, I have so much work.

[Libby]
I'm busy tonight, sorry.

Maybe another time?

-Yeah.
-If it's your shout,

hell yeah.

Though actually, maybe
you want to come along

to this speed-dating thing

Rach and I are doing
Friday night?

Oh, Lib, I don't think
George would be...

What kind of speed-dating
thing?

[Libby] A few drinks,
bit of mingling

-with the opposite sex.
-Could be a bit of fun.

Mingling, huh? Sure.

That sounds fantastic.
Mingling.

[Dave] What do you want?
Oh I thought we gave up

that big hand/little hand
thing

when you gave up
plastic bedsheets.

We have a booking.

And I have a more pressing one

with Jennifer
Hawkins' fuse box.

Unfortunately I do mean
just her fuse box.

Dad, I've booked
Mrs. MacDougall in.

-Oi!
-Dad, I'm not letting you

sleep through a job.

I'm not sleeping through it.

I'm just sleeping around it!

Now I had to work
till midnight last night!

-Just... Nathan! Just, just...
-No!

-Just, just...
-Dad give me... No!

-Just give me a break!
-No!

I'll meet you in the office
in five.

I have an office?

What's going on here?

-Cleaning.
-You don't just come

into a man's shed
and clean it.

-Why not?
-It's my stuff.

[Nathan] Oh, dad, dad,
look what I got...

I know they're a little dumb

but, ah, check out these mugs.

-"Electricians Turn You On".
-[Nathan] Yeah.

Oh, that's, that's good.
It's really good.

They were on sale
at the suppliers.

Really? I can't imagine why.

[Warney] Knock, knock.

Ah, g'day Dave.

Thought you were out all day
at the MacDougall job.

-Anything else for me, chief?
-No, we're actually right.

Just give us a call
in the morning.

Well I, I didn't think
you were in today.

I pulled him in. Any jobs
that we can't handle

we just offload to Warney.
Remember?

[Warney] What's that?
Give us a look at that.

Oh, you'll love it.

[Warney] "Electricians
Turn You On". [laughs]

See you know why that's funny?

'Cause it's an actual fact,
it's true.

Nice one, boss.

-[Nathan] See you Warney.
-[Warney] Have a good...

[grunts]

Oh! Oh!

[laughs]

I'm happy to go first round
of the shopping

if you guys are happy
to hand over some cash.

Shouldn't we make some kind
of group list or something?

So that everyone gets
what they want?

No offence but if everyone

kept getting what they wanted,

I think we would be living
off fish fingers

and potato gems.

What's wrong
with fish fingers?

Chrissy and me
love fish fingers.

Nothing, if you don't mind
carrying around

a spare tyre the size
of the Michelin man.

I don't have a spare tyre.

What? I don't even have
a tyre.

But you will
if you keep eating crap.

Hey I'm not putting
in forty bucks

for tofu and lentils.

I'm not going to buy tofu.

Just good, clean, fresh stuff.

You can have a go next time.

Oh, come on, guys, a change
isn't going to kill you.

Well what about toiletries?

I have some very specific
requirements.

[Melissa] Yes, speaking of,

not looking at anyone
in particular, Carbo,

if someone wouldn't mind
replacing

my herbal conditioning
treatment, I'd appreciate it.

I didn't touch your stupid
herbal conditioning treatment.

Yeah, no actually that was me.

Sorry. I was gonna get
some anyway.

It's on the list. My treat.

Mmm, I'd just appreciate
if you ask next time.

-Yeah of course.
-Well ah here's a pineapple

but I'm not chipping in
for Carbo's shaving cream.

-It smells like wet dog.
-Shaving cream?

But you're never clean shaven.

Well it's not for my face.

Did you have to invite George?

I was doing you a favor.

No, you were stirring.

I was not.

George will probably find

some wonderful slice of heaven

and get off your back finally.

Here's to your every success

and George Spiteri
finding the love of his life

via some dodgy speed-dating.

I'll drink to that.

[glasses clink]

You do realize
you're kicking major butt

-at the moment, right?
-Get lost.

I'm serious.
You should talk to management

about a pay rise.

Yeah, right. Last time
Amelia suggested pay rises,

Ronan smashed through the wall

leaving a little
Ronan-shaped hole.

Well how about
another job then?

Are you trying
to get rid of me?

There is such a thing
as growing too big

for a place you know.

Are you serious?

You're young, you're dynamic.

The world's at your feet.

It's like... I have to pee.

[Rachel]"The future accumulates

like a weight upon the past".

-What happened?
-I hired him to organize me,

-not take over.
-Oh, he's...he's...

-he's enthusiastic.
-It's doing my head in, Jules.

It's not working before
he even started.

Well, just give it time.

Nathan's going through
some tough stuff.

Yeah, well I guess
that makes the two of us.

[Door opening]

[Dave] Hi.

-Oh, hey.
-Hey.

Is everything all right?

Oh, it's just so...beautiful.

So powerful.

All right, you look
after Rachel.

I've got enough on my hands
with Nathan.

[Nathan] Look I,
I've really been putting

a lot of thought into it
and I've just...

I've come to the conclusion
that your time management's

laughable, it's a farce.
I just think you need to...

You need...You need
to maximize your efficiency...

Something like hands free,
you know?

While you're driving.

Ah.

[Nathan] Dad. Hey, um,
I just wanted

to run through a few things
on tomorrow's schedule.

Not now mate, I've clocked
off for the day.

-It won't take long.
-[Dave] Neither will this.

Maybe we should put
some ground rules in place

like no work-talk after hours.

Look I ah appreciate
that you've had a long day...

Until you've been elbow deep
in a cellar full of dead rats,

-you won't know how long.
-Just need, I just need--

No, no, no, no, not now mate.
Just leave me in peace

and let me enjoy my beer.

Or what? What? You're going
to send me to my room?

Yeah that's an idea.

Dad, you wanted this.

Ah.

That is pathetic.

[sighs]

-[Carbo] What's that?
-[Kat] Couscous.

Mmm. so nice they named
it twice?

Something like that.

Oh, baby poo?

Miso paste.

Oh, it looks like the kind
of stuff my cousins do

-in his nappies.
-It makes really good soup.

Mmm, baby poo soup. Love it.

Ugh.

What? Have you never heard
of spirulina?

Spirulina? I had a cousin
called Spiro.

Went out with a girl
called Lina.

Spirulina is amazing.
Have you never tried it?

No.

Okay, here.

You're not going to make me
taste it are you?

[Kat] Yeah, just one
little spoonful.

[Carbo] No, way. I mean look
I'll put on my bathers

and wrestle you in it
but there is no way

I'm putting that stuff
in my mouth.

-Carbo, stop being a dick.
-Are you going to handcuff me?

Because if you handcuff me,
I might consider it.

-Eat it, just eat it!
-No no no no! No!

Eat it! Eat it!
Eat it! Eat it!

-Is everything all right?
-[Carbo] Ugh.

I heard screaming.

[Kat] Carbo was just trying
the spirulina?

Mmm... delicious.

[Kat] Oh, and I replaced
your conditioner.

It's in the bag.

Oh, thanks.

[Julie] Well this is nice.
Isn't it?

Everyone here for dinner. Mm.

It's very nice.

Can you pass the chili please?

[Sammy] Oh, yeah.

Thanks.

So was everyone impressed

with the, uh,
the Michelton job?

Yeah, everyone was rapt.

[Julie] Ah that's great,
that's great news.

-Isn't that great?
-Yeah that's great.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Yeah, that's... [coughs]

that's good.

Dad, if you'd just taken
thirty seconds to listen,

-it wouldn't be like this.
-Nathan...

You need to be at Lazar's
to pick up extra fuses

by 10:00 am tomorrow,

and if he asks can you please
just show him

a receipt from last month.
There. That's it.

Well and that couldn't wait
until the morning?

-Well now it's out of the way.
-I told you to turn it off.

-Dave, Dave...
-No, we're having dinner.

-It was important, Dad.
-What? Ruining the meal?

No, no, no,
you ruined the meal.

Okay? This is your business
we're talking about.

-No, one's gonna do it for us.
-Yeah, exactly

it's my business
and you're treating me

like some gum-chewing
apprentice.

Well it's hard not to
when you're acting like one.

-What was that?
-Huh?

-[sighs]
-What? You want to fire me?

Is that it? You want
to fire me dad?

Come on, guys.
This is ridiculous.

Yeah, you got that right.

Nathan...

-I'm not hungry.
-Oh, Dave, come on.

[dramatic music playing]

[slams and clatters]

Has anyone read"An Angel At My Table"?

[Nathan] I'm really glad
you got to witness that.

That you got to see
what he's capable of.

He's unbelievable.

I was just trying to help.

-[sighs]
-He's still your dad.

So?

Well, maybe you guys just need
an allocated time

each night where you cut
the work talk

and just have a beer.

Constant clear communication

is what makes a successful
business what it is.

If you look
at venture capitalism

as a general benchmark...

I mean it's not,
it's not rocket sci...

[Rachel] George was right.

The book
was totally inspiring.

My cage had been rattled.

I had found my focus.

[beeping]

[singer] ♪ I like the way
that you talk ♪

-Bye, mom.
-Oh. Bye.

[Rachel] Bye dad. Love you.

-Is that our Rachel?
-Mmm.

[singer] ♪ La la la la la la
La la la la la la ♪

[Rachel] I felt the world
was out there.

Waiting. I felt
my time had come.

I could conquer anything.

I'm going to ignore that.

[keyboard clicking]

I thought you might have quit.

We have too many jobs booked.

Okay, maybe we got off
on the wrong foot,

so if there is any
urgent business stuff

you need to tell me about,
then tell me about it,

but don't go overboard.
There's got to be a balance.

Okay.

Thank you, dad.

So, what are you up to?

I'm downloading
a new spreadsheet

that will track stock,
bookings, incomes

and expenses, plus it will,
uh, help with data analysis,

forecasting, monthly reports

and it's in tabular form,
which will make it easy

to access and edit.
So, you know, it should

make us more efficient,
save us money and...

and make tax-time a breeze.

Oh, my god.

-What time did you get in?
-Early.

Why? The coffee place
with the hot barista

doesn't open till eight.

I'm taking your advice.

Well, yours and Janet Frame's.

-Whose?
-You read it, didn't you?

God, can't you wear a bell
or something?

Yes George, I did.

-And?
-And I am going for a job

at Connor and Liebing.

-Seriously?
-You're leaving?

[Rachel] I'm totally
under qualified

and they are totally out
of my league,

but I... no no I know,

-I am doing it anyway.
-You're leaving?

[Rachel] I mean,
what've I got to lose?

I'm amazing. They'll love me.

I'm amazing.
Did that sound convincing?

Oh, are you kidding me?
All you need is Johnny Depp

squiring you about town
and you'll have ticked

-all the boxes.
-That's the last thing

-on my agenda at the moment.
-[Libby] Wash your mouth out.

[Rachel] No, you know
what I mean.

Men. Relationships.
I do not have time.

For the right relationship,

you make time.

Exactly. Isn't that why

we're going speed-dating?

[Nathan] Okie dokey, dad.
Now this...

is the updated worksheet.

Now I've given you half
an hour's travel time here.

Um, and then you're going
to meet up with Warney

at the 2:00 pm, because
I figure it's a two man job.

Ah, and you should
be finished around six.

-How does that sound?
-Aye aye, captain.

Seriously, dad.
If you need anything...

Yeah, I've got you
on speed dial, mate.

Just ah have fun
holding down the fort.

-Oh, don't forget...
-Yeah.

-Hooray.
-[chuckles]

Well that seemed to go
surprisingly well

considering the Texas
Chainsaw Massacre

at dinner last night.

Well you told me
to validate him,

I'm validating him.
I'm practically building

a pedestal and piggy-backing
him up there.

And so gracious too.

Anything to keep
the peace, Jules.

Hi, thanks for dropping by.

Not a problem.
Hi, uh, there's my CV and--

Oh, you needn't have
brought the portfolio.

You can save that
for the next round

if you make it that far.

You haven't been at CBM
all that long, have you?

No, not ages
but, uh, I've picked up

an incredible amount
of experience

since starting there.

And I've been involved

-in a lot of campaigns.
-Like what?

I was an integral part

of the Scarum
sneakers campaign.

Just "part of the team"?

What, what do you mean?

Well it wasn't
your actual campaign?

-You weren't spearheading.
-No but I...

Look, if you make it through
to the next round,

and I have to run
all the applicants

past the board first
of course,

then you will probably
be given a brief

to mock up a campaign.

After all, there's
no guarantee

that what you hand us
in your portfolio

is actually your own work,
is there?

-Thanks.
-That's it?

Oh we make our judgment

very early
on in the peace here.

Someone will let you know.

Yeah.

Bye.

Aren't you
forgetting something?

Of course.

Ah, look I love design.

It's, it's everything
that I live and breathe...

-I would work so...
-No, shh...

Oh.

I really do love design.

It was awful.

"I really do love design".

Awful. You should've seen her.

I didn't know people
were like that in real life.

I bet it didn't go
as badly as you thought.

Yeah, she could've set me
on fire

and fed me to her dogs
afterwards.

I should consider myself
lucky.

Cheer up.

You're your own worst critic

and at least you tried.

Maybe.

Anyway, a date with ten

effortlessly handsome
single men

-will make you feel better.
-What?

-Speed dating.
-[sighs]

[Libby] Oh, and wear
something low-cut

so you don't have
to rely on being funny.

-Lib...
-You're not ditching me.

There is no way I'm going

to something like that
on my own.

The last time I did,
I ended up cornered

all night by this guy
who looked like Sam Newman.

And smelt like mucus.

Lib, I just,
I don't feel like it.

Not after today.

I just want to go home
and read.

Oh. Honestly, Rach?

I'm into the whole self-help
zen mastery...crap.

But you need to find
some balance.

Okay. But if Sam McMucus
turns up,

or George tries to hit on me,

you are taking a bullet.

[Libby] Okay.

Thought you might want
first go at these.

Oh, beauty. Didn't buy it all

from the vegan shop then,
did you?

-No not this time.
-Mel's given me one shelf,

one drawer and about
two inches of hanging space.

Do you reckon that's fair?

Actually, on the subject
of Mel,

can I talk to you
for a second?

Ah, so these are a bribe?

I think we got off
on the wrong foot.

-No.
-I'm getting seriously bad

vibes from her and I know
that I'm not imagining it.

She doesn't like me, does she?

Dude, of course she does.

I know that I can be
a little girly or whatever.

That whole thing with Carbo
I wasn't even being serious.

Yeah, I know that.
I've said far worse things

to Carbo, believe me. The guy
is impossible to offend.

I, I'm sorry. I don't want
to make you feel weird

talking about the person
you love.

Well I'm fond of Carbo
but I'm not in love with him.

Yes, Melissa.

It's fine.
Don't worry about it.

She just seems to be more
of a boy's girl.

Maybe not so interested
in hanging out

with someone like me.

I know she can be a bit
standoffish

but she's a really
great person

once you get to know her.

Yeah well that's all I want,

the chance to get to know her.

I'll have a word with her.

No it's fine. Seriously.

I won't tell her we've talked.

You just relax.

That, no, that's fantastic.

Sure. Will do.

Ah, so the mock up campaign?

The pitch?

Thank you so much
for the call.

Thanks very much.
See you Monday.

Bye, bye.

I got through
to the next round.

You're joking.
I thought you said

-it was a complete disaster.
-[Rachel] It was. I mean,

maybe it wasn't.
It obviously wasn't!

-[Julie] That's great!
-Oh, my God

-what am I going to wear?
-[Julie] Oh, darling,

you've got the whole weekend
to think about your outfit.

I love that's the first thing
you think about.

Oh, shut up. It's important
to make a good impression.

-Yeah.
-Obviously she already has.

I did, didn't I?

I made a good impression!

You made a great impression.

I know! I know!

Oh, now I really can't go
to that stupid

speed dating thing.
I've got to,

I've got to get
working on my pitch.

You're going speed dating?

Yeah, Libby's idea it was.
Oh I need coffee.

Rachel, I'm all
for the gung-ho approach

to the job application,
but you've already said

-yes to Libby.
-Mom, it's going to be

completely lame,
not to mention

-a waste of time.
-Oh, come on

it's just a bit of fun.

I don't have time for fun.

Oh, listen to you.
You're 25 years old.

It's Friday night.

Go out, let your hair down.

You've got all day
Saturday and Sunday

to work on the job
application.

Maybe mom was right.

You either live life

or you don't.

And I chose to live it.

-Bye.
-Good girl.

♪ If she's not everything ♪

Oh, I like the blonde.

He's got a face
like a dropped pie.

Harsh.

Hey, tonight's all about
judging people.

At least that's what it says
on the invite.

It said 'come and meet
the love of your life'.

Well I'm not meeting
the love of my life

-without judging first.
-Mmm.

It's all in the subtext.

If one of these blokes
doesn't still live at home

with his mother,
it'll be a Christmas miracle.

-[Rachel laughs]
-I live with my mom.

Actually, so do I.

I probably shouldn't laugh
at that.

You two are being way
too judgmental.

I bet these guys

are just as nervous
as you are.

[Rachel] Nervous?
Who said we're nervous?

Are you nervous?
I'm not nervous.

-I'm not nervous.
-You're nervous. I can tell.

[Libby] Anyway, being
judgmental's part of the fun.

[George] You wouldn't like it
if...if they were saying

the same kind of things
about you.

Oh, as if they dare.
I'm a catch.

Mmm.

Some of these girls...

look pretty nice.

I bet they think
I'm a real idiot.

Oh, of course, they don't.

Yeah well
after hearing you talk,

I'm scared to say hello.

Oh, we were just
being smart alecs.

You know, we...
It was just the nerves.

-Don't worry.
-[Libby] Hello.

-Oh, he is gorgeous.
-[Libby] I saw him first.

[Rachel]
Well like fun you did.

You had your face
in the cocktail list.

I have excellent
peripheral vision.

First in best dressed.

See you on the other side,
sister.

-[George] Hey Rachel.
-[Rachel] Mmm-hmm.

Good luck.

Come on, George.
Don't look at me like that.

I like you
but we work together.

But you're leaving.

I like you
but just not in that way.

It couldn't...
it couldn't work.

Thanks for the book.

It was amazing. It is amazing.

Now, I want you to take
Janet Frame's lead,

pick yourself up
and get out there

because there is someone here
for you tonight,

someone very special,

because you are lovely
and you are kind.

Now, get on out there

and give them some
of that Spiteri charm.

[sighs] Yeah.

Time for a bit
of the old Spiteri charm.

[whistles]

I guess I sort of see myself
as a go-getter

but, um, open
to spiritual guidance.

[whistles]

[Rachel] Have you readAn Angel At My Table?

[whistles]

[Rachel] No,
she has a nervous breakdown

but she gets wrongly diagnosed
with schizophrenia.

[whistles]

That's bi-polar.

This is schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia is when...

-Oh, forget it.
-[whistles]

Parole?

Oh, did she just blow
the whistle?

I think it's time to switch.

So have you talked
to anyone interesting tonight?

Only if you count the girl

who makes dolls
out of human hair.

I'm still trying to figure out
if she was having me on

or if I should call
the authorities.

It's good to know my
competition's certifiable.

You'll do just fine

if there's anyone
who catches your fancy.

You're not exactly a dead
weight yourself, you know.

I'm not really here
for dating.

-Oh?
-My sister's the organizer.

She had a couple of guys
pull out at the last minute

so she roped me
in to help out.

So you have a girlfriend.

You're already spoken for?

I'm gay.

[whistles]

Good shower?

It might've been better if
the hot water hadn't run out.

How long was Kat in there for?

Carbo had one before her.

Still girls take ages.

And she was probably
using my conditioner again.

Oh, sorry, that
should be 'our' conditioner.

Come on, you said you
were going to give her a go.

A month, remember?

You don't fit into
a new share house

by calling people fat
and stealing their stuff.

[laughs] You're stubborn.

You are adorable
but you're stubborn.

Sorry, I just...

just get a weird
feeling about her, that's all.

Come on, trust me.
Kat is a nice person.

If you just drop the suss act
for five minutes,

you might even
get to like her.

If I'd known how tough
this was going to be

I would have worn
protective gear.

Some of these women
are ruthless.

I'd rather be ruthless
than boring.

I had this guy ask
why I was drinking so fast,

and I told him it was
a conversational anesthetic.

-[laughs]
-That wasn't very nice.

Ah, George, people here
expect that kind of thing.

[George] What? Total rudeness?

No one likes a time-waster.

You're brutal.

The guys here are
looking for someone special

just as much as we are.

You should cut them
some slack.

Oh, don't tell me
you're going soft on me too.

[Gav] Evening.

-Hi. A long one at that.
-Isn't it, though?

You know,
I could've sworn they said

we'd be out of here
before dawn.

-Hmm.
-The way things are going--

I know, it's punishing.
[laughs]

I'm worried I'm going to be
spending the rest

of the weekend asleep
on my kitchen table

rather than doing any work.

Do you usually work
on the weekends?

Well, only when I've got
something important

-on the boil, yeah.
-Ooh, sounds exciting.

[Gav] Yeah, yeah,
hopefully it will be.

I'm, um, developing
this job proposal

and, you know,
I want it to be a killer.

You know when you want
something really badly

and you just have
to get it perfect?

I know exactly what you mean.

I'm ah actually...

cooking up a pitch
of my own this weekend.

Really?
What line of work are you in?

Ah I'm in advertising.

Design, specifically.

What a weird coincidence.

-What? You too?
-Guilty.

Who are you with?

Well, I'm with Blue Tadpole

but I'm currently up
for consideration

by Connor and Liebing.

Oh, right. Me too.

Not the graphic partner.

Fingers crossed.

Well, this is weird.

Yep we're going
for the same job.

[Gav] Yeah.

So, um, how's your
pitch coming along?

Well, I haven't
really started.

I mean, well I...
I've started.

I mean I've... I've made notes
but I haven't

-finalized any--
-Right.

But I mean I've got it all
sorted in my head.

Hey, yeah, I'm sure you have.

Well, good luck with it.

Yeah, you too.

[Gav] Oh, oh you know
that proposal I'm cooking up,

I don't really need it
but, ah, thanks anyway.

[man] All right. Go!

[indistinct TV chatter]

You all right, mate?

Yeah, good. Good.

Something else
you wanted to watch?

No, no, no whatever
you're watching's fine.

Whatever it is. What is it?

Any urgent job stuff
you need to discuss?

Well, actually,
um, while you're here,

probably worth going
over next week's job-sheet.

There's a few changes
but nothing too major.

But I just feel better
with you're okay.

Looks fine.

[Nathan]
No, you barely read it.

Are you questioning
my photographic memory?

Dad.

Righto, righto.

[sigh] Nice format.

Lovely font.

Thank you.

Actually, ah, here you've...

you've mucked up the dates.

-[Nathan] Where?
-[Dave] There.

The eighth is a Saturday.

Saturday, yes, that's right.

-I don't work Saturdays.
-No you did once.

You... No you did
a few times with Warney.

I play cricket.

You can give cricket
a miss this one week.

Oh not anymore.

The team will drop me
if I push any further.

Dad, we're building
relationships

-with new clients.
-And I have an existing

relationship
with my cricket club.

Um, we can't just stuff them
around with date changes.

[Dave] Why not?

[Nathan] 'Cause they might
go somewhere else.

Why does it have to be
a Saturday?

It's just what happens
when you're attracting

new people to a business.

You have to make
a few sacrifices.

Yeah, but not cricket.

I always play cricket on
a Saturday. You know that.

And perhaps
one of these Saturdays

I might get to score
that century

-I've always dreamed of.
-It's just a game.

It's not!
It's the one thing I do

all week outside of chasing
my tail for you

and I'm not
going to give it up!

So you can tell
Mr. and Mrs. Kafoops

that they can change the date
to the Monday

or they can organize some
other bloke.

[Nathan] Absolutely not.

We have a reputation
with our clients.

Listen to you. You just sound
like a broken record.

Dad, if you want
to mess around

with our entire business
then you call them up

and you tell them why
you're stuffing them around.

Or I have another idea.
Maybe I could just cut out

the middle-man and quit.

Would that make you happy?

Mate you can just stick
your job-sheet up your bum.

[sighs]

[door closes]

What?

What part of 'validation'
aren't you getting here?

That is so funny
you work in IT.

I've met a few in my time,

and you really break
the stereotype.

Can I go now
or do you still need me?

Knock yourself out.

You don't mind if Rachel
leaves us to it, do you?

[Rachel]
I'm sorry I've got work to do.

A lot of work to do.

[Libby] Oh no do you really?

That's a shame. Oh, well.
I'll have a pinot gris.

-Nice to meet you.
-You too.

[singer] ♪ Do you want
To have some fun ♪

♪ So I say
[indistinct] ♪

[Rachel] I guess
that's the downside

of trying to have it all.

You risk ending up
with nothing.

You can't quit
your own business.

-Why not?
-For goodness sake,

Nathan's just trying
to help you get started.

Whose side are you on?

I'm on the side of business.

And harmony. And family.

We're all trying to exist
under the same roof, you know.

I'm painfully aware of that.

Look, if Saturday's job
works out you could get

months of bookings
from these clients.

I see the Nathan Rafter
propaganda machine's

in full effect.

You know what he's like
better than anyone.

He's driven.

He's...a prat.

Oh, this is your son
you're talking about.

No, I'm not talking
about my son,

I'm talking about
my co-worker.

This is important to him.

Sometimes you've got to,
you know, put yourself second.

Curb the anger
and let your kid unleash.

-[door closes]
-[Julie] Ooh.

Hey. How was ah speed dating?

I don't know why
I let you talk me

into these things sometimes.

[Julie] Why? What happened?

I was sitting there
wasting my time,

when I should've been here
working on something

actually important.

I don't even know
what I'm doing.

No way I'm going to have
this pitch ready in time.

Of course you will, darling.
You've got the whole weekend.

No I had
the whole weekend, Mom.

I had the whole weekend plus
a Friday night which I needed.

I don't even know
what I'm doing.

Everyone else going
for the job

is going to be
way better prepared.

-Darling, you don't know.
-No actually, I do.

So, you know what?
Thanks for nothing.

Next time you want
to interfere in my life,

maybe think it through first

so you don't totally
destroy me.

Well I...

Just, um, curb your anger.

Put yourself second.

Let your kid unleash.

Oh, ha, ha, ha.

Hilarious.

So it was that bad?

He was worse.

Much worse.

Half way through,

-if you know what I mean.
-I'm pretty sure I do,

-yes.
-He starts crying. Crying.

And telling me that he never
should've gone

speed dating 'cause he's still
not over his ex.

-It was hideous.
-[George whistles]

Don't tell me you copped off
with one

of the horse-faced molls
propping up the bar.

-Libby.
-No.

-Good.
-I gave my phone number

to a certain red-headed lady.

Who doesn't resemble
a horse in the slightest.

Well at least you got
something out of the night.

It's all about
what you put into it, I guess.

That's if she calls.

She'll call.

Faith in the future, ladies.

Janet Frame knew
what she was on about.

-That man has issues.
-[yawns] I don't know.

Oh, my God.
Is today interview day?

I've barely slept.

I don't even know
if I've finished properly.

The whole thing
just looks like a...mess.

But, ah...

maybe it's just
an attitude thing.

Hon, you're going to cane it.

I believe in you.

Now rack off
before the boss gets back.

And if he asks
any questions I'll say

something about
delicate ladies' business

till he goes red in the face.

Thank you. I owe you.

No. Go be a star.

[laughter]

[Rachel]Don't think about it.

You're in control.

You can do this.

You can conquer anything.

Oh, no.

We meet again.

[Gav] It appears so.

Good night Friday?

Oh, didn't stay long
after you.

Right.

I take it you spent
the entire weekend hard at it?

-Hmm, big time.
-Hmm.

It's fairly punishing stuff

but I mean
well worth the effort.

You know,
they're expecting nothing

but complete professionalism.

Well, you wouldn't want to
stumble at your first hurdle.

Right.

You PowerPointing?

Of course.

Interesting.

Well, at the ideas stage

I don't think
they're going to mind

how it's presented

so long as the key concept
comes through.

Yeah, I guess.

You know, I was sweating there
ten minutes ago

thinking
that my website's schematic

wouldn't go live in time
but ah the server came good.

Your presentation
has a website?

Yeah. Interactive.

Flash files.

But hey,
to each his own method, huh?

Absolutely.

[woman laughing]

I just...
remembered, um, parking meter.

What an idiot.

After all that crap
about life's journey

and then I get psyched out

by some moron
in an Armani tie.

I should just
jump off a bridge.

Actually, what am I thinking?

I should go back there.

I should go back
there right now.

-[Rachel] Oh!
-Oh, I'm so sorry.

[Rachel] Oh I'm...sorry.

-Are you okay?
-[Rachel] [cries] I didn't...

-Yeah I'm fine.
-You don't look so fine.

Here.
I think I've got a tissue

Oh no it's fine,
it's just...stupid.

-I just finished that book.
-Really?

I'm actually re-reading it.

It's hard to let go
of Ms. Frame,

once she's under your skin.

It is. It really is.

Anyway, don't get me started,

I'd probably bore you
to tears.

Hope your day gets better.

Thank you. I'm so sorry.

[Rob] It's fine.
Don't worry about it.

Hey wait.

This might sound
a bit weird but...

it's not everyday you get run
into by a fellow Frame lover.

Um, do you work around here?

Occasionally, yeah.

If you ever want
to get together

and have a coffee that doesn't
involve spillage...

Look, no biggie.
It's just a question.

Here. Call me
if you change your mind.

[mellow music playing]

[Libby]So you didn't even go in?

Oh, no I went in the building.

I just didn't make it past
the waiting room.

-Oh.
-What a loser.

What a total
wussy losery faced loser.

Hey, go easy on yourself.

It was a really
high pressure interview.

Yeah, which I didn't even do.

I had the pitch,
I had everything.

And then what?
Disaster. [sighs]

Talk about self-sabotage.
[scoffs]

If there was an award for
sabotage, I'd be up for that.

And then I swear to God
I'd sabotage that too.

And then I get hit on
in the street by coffee guy

who's at least
20 years older than me.

Oh, cradle snatcher.

No, actually,
he seemed really nice.

And now he probably thinks
I'm a complete psycho.

Hey!

-Speaking of which--
-Guess who called me?

-Your mom?
-My red-headed dreamboat

from the speed dating night.

You know, Janet's on my side.

She was a red-head too.

I kicked a goal.

I hardly call getting
a phone call kicking a goal.

Well it all depends
on the phone call, Libby.

Amazing how the sound
of a beautiful lady's voice

can change the direction
of your day completely.

Quick, call the virgin police.

[mellow music playing]

You're a far cry
from the tragic figure

who nearly bowled me over
in the street this morning.

Yeah I was having
an awful day.

Obviously.

Which has taken
a rather lovely turn.

Well you're referring
of course to the torte.

Oh, look, Rachel
I'm really glad you called me

but there is somewhere
I'm supposed to be.

Of course.

I thought we could continue
this conversation further.

Ah, obviously
not the torte one.

Just general chit chat.

Films, literature--

Favorite Doobie Brothers
records

Favorite Doobie Brothers
records.

[laughs]

-I was thinking
-Maybe dinner?

Absolutely.

How's Wednesday?

It is my favorite
day of the week.

Great.

Well, Rachel, this has been--

Surprisingly gorgeous.

Not a bad way of putting it.

[both laugh]

[Rob] So you've got my number.

[Rachel] Yes, I'll call you.

-Um--
-I'll get this.

Oh...

[singer]
♪ Yes, yeah [indistinct] ♪

♪ Along we see it somewhere
It goes on, oh ♪

♪ Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na ♪

Oh. Hmm.

Not sure I'm allowed to ask.

About what?

The job interview.

I had a complete meltdown
and didn't

even make it into the room.

Oh, darling, I'm so sorry.

I know how hard you worked.

[Rachel] Hmm c'est la vie.

Are you just putting
on a brave face?

No not at all.

At least I know I can get
a pitch together in a weekend

if I'm ever stuck for time.

And I am sorry
for getting stressed

and taking it out on you.

It was totally uncalled for.

8
Darling, it's not an issue.

No, seriously, Mom.

I flipped out and went
for the first person in sight.

It was completely irrational
and I'm sorry.

You know that I love you.

Oh, of course I do.

Anyway, what are parents for?

So, how are things going
in HQ then?

Fine.

Good to see we're
all getting along so well, eh?

Exactly how a family business
should run.

At least, ah, when there's
compromise from both sides.

Yep. Cheers for that, Dad.

Oh, well, at least
we're still father and son.

Have you...

have you been drinking, Dad?

[sighs]

Oh. Everything
all right with the world?

Let's just say
that you and Rachel,

is a little bit further down
the track

to self-knowledge
than mine and Nathan.

-Oh.
-[Dave] But...

he's getting there.

Good.

[Rachel] So, private school?

-[Rob] Yeah, day boy.
-Day boy?

[Rachel] No need
to fill your parents in

on every aspect
of your search for happiness.

Dusting yourself off
and getting back

in the ring
isn't always easy.

But as Janet Frames shows
in her book,

it can be done.

There is one thing
you haven't asked me

about this evening though.

Oh, favorite
Police Academy movie?

No.

-[Rachel] Bali or Thailand?
-My age.

Why is it a problem for you?

No not at all.

I'm just...
You're obviously...

Much younger than you are.

[Rob] And I don't
want you to be, un...

uncomfortable with that.

Well I'm not.

-Well neither am I.
-Good.

And suddenly there he was...

the Angel at my Table.
