[theme music playing]

[mellow music]

[Nathan] Don't ask me why
but we crazy humans

really like marking
milestones in our lives.

Getting married is a big one

and so is being welcomed
into the world.

It's tradition to celebrate
these rites of passage

with family and friends,

the people who love you.

Or used to.

[Nathan] I thought I was
on track to help Chel

see many more
of these milestones,

but that was a week ago

when I thought I had
all the answers.

Well, physically
you've passed all the tests.

-Tripled checked.
-That's great.

[Michael] It is but for
the transplant to proceed,

we're gonna need to go over
your reasons for doing this.

Why? We've done this.
It's simple.

Just remember,

you've been through some
pretty tough times

-yourself recently.
-Not this again.

Well, I'm just reminding you.

You know, marriage breakup
is a big deal.

Most people feel lost
for a while.

And as I've said, Michael,
helping Chel

has nothing to do with that.

[Michael] Nathan,
I'm on your side here,

but I've just got to make sure
that you're not going

into this
with misplaced motivations.

What sort of misplaced?

[Michael] Well, if you're trying
to win back your wife--

-No.
-Feel better about yourself--

-No.
-Validate yourself--

No, no.

Because this isn't something
you can undo, Nathan.

This is radical surgery.

Well, you're asking
me this now? [chuckles]

[Michael] No,
you're listening to me now.

And if you don't hear
what you wanna hear?

[Michael] Well then,

I can't let the transplant
go ahead.

[light music playing]

-Hello.
-[Nathan] Hey.

Hey, Mom wants everyone
to bring their diaries

-for dinner.
-Okay.

-Yeah, can you tell Ben and Mel?
-Yeah, sure.

How did it go
with the counselor?

Oh, I thought Mom
put a ban on you

hassling me about this stuff.

I'm being supportive
big sister.

Yeah, well,
the coordinator's a nice guy

but it was pretty full on.

Are you okay?

Yeah, course.

It's just confronting.
I've got to convince him

that I'm doing this
for the right reasons.

What do you mean?

Well, I'm not doing it
for the glory

or to fill some emptiness
in my life.

-And are you?
-Well, don't you start.

No, I won't.

I mean, it's obvious
why you're doing it, right?

Apparently not.

-It is going to be okay?
-Yeah.

Yeah, I'm not about to leave
Chel in the lurch, am I?

You still on for
the pictures tomorrow?

Great. Okay.
I'll see you then.

Uh, Chel says sorry
she can't make it

but her schedule's clear

and she'll just fit in
with the rest of us.

[woman] Great.

-How was the hospital?
-Dad.

It's not pressure.
I'm just interested.

There's nothing to talk about.

Um, I'm passing the test.

It's going good,
it's going great.

[Ted] Okay.
Let's get this over with.

Oh, a little enthusiasm
for Ruby's naming day, please.

-Naming day?
-[chuckles]

Well, you did your first three
the hippie way.

Can't you give me this one?

[Julie] Oh, we've had this
argument with every baby.

A naming ceremony
must've been pretty out there

when Rachel was a baby?

It just felt right for us,
that's all.

Yeah, just as meaningful.

And it leaves them free
to make their own choices.

Well, that's the trouble
with the world today, isn't it?

-Too many choices.
-Oh, don't worry, Granddad.

We turned out all right.

-Early days yet.
-[women chucking]

All right. Okay.
Are we ready? Here you go.

How about the last Saturday
of next month?

-[Nathan] Free.
-Free.

Friend Finders.

-I'm working.
-Working.

Oh, what about
the Saturday before?

-Uh, yes, free.
-Free.

-Yeah, I'm free.
-Yeah, no worries.

[Jake] It's my mom's birthday

-but you guys go ahead. I--
-No, no, no,

we want you and, um,
Alex and Grace there

so, uh...

the Sunday the month later?

-Yes, I'm free again.
-I'm free

-'cause I'm always free.
-Yep, we're good.

-Yeah, yeah, yep.
-Great. Going once,

-going twice--
-Oh, wait, no, no, no.

I've got three events
on at the Boat Club.

-[all sighing]
-[Ruby crying]

-There she blows.
-Uh, all right.

We'll get back to this
after I've fed madam.

Ben, can you, uh,
set the table, please?

How do you think he seems?

-Nathan?
-Yes.

Something's not quite right.

Well, he had a psych
assessment today.

What do you reckon?
He'd tell us, wouldn't he,

if he was having
second thoughts?

Well, yeah.
That's what we agreed.

I hope we haven't put
too much pressure on him.

-Oh...
-I know, it's just that

the father in me wishes
that he never even started

-but the son in me--
-Yeah, well maybe we should,

you know, hold off
on the naming day ceremony

until we know
the state of play.

And Chel won't get
any better in the meantime.

-[sighs]
-No, I've got a better idea.

What, next Saturday?

-Yes.
-[Rachel] As in one week?

-Yeah, it's non-negotiable.
-But, Mom,

that's not enough time
for me to get it

-all organized.
-Yeah, I've got functions

on at the Boat Club.
I can't just leave them

-in the lurch.
-I'll say this one last time,

I'm sure the church
could make room--

-Ted!
-Rachel,

it's enough time to get family
and close friends together.

Ben, you're the boss,
work it out.

Dad, we all believe
in the same thing.

It's just a different
name, okay?

-But--
-And it fits in with Chel's

dialysis, which is
the main thing.

[Julie] Do you have
anything else to add

to the naming day controversy?

Um, just that I'd like
to invite Sammy.

Yeah, of course.

Yeah, okay,
I'll ask her tomorrow. Thanks.

So there's no godparents
or anything?

-We call them guardians.
-[Melissa] Right.

And do you know who they are?

-Yes.
-Or how many?

-Mm-hmm.
-Have you asked any of them?

-Well, do we need to?
-[Rachel] Yeah.

Well Rita's going to have
to book her flight

-back from Greece.
-Or Warney might have

something on that weekend.

Yeah, that's hilarious.

Oh, all right would you three

please be Ruby's guardians?

We would be honored.

But hold it.
Do these guardians

get swords or shields

-or magical powers?
-No.

General dragon slaying
equipment?

-No.
-Cash?

Could you eat
your dinner, please?

Dad, can we start?

[Carbo] Another Rafter
bites the dust.

So I'm guessing you won't be
at the naming day?

I'm the most important
guest there.

The presence of a good
baptized boy--

-Here we go.
-...it might score Rube

some points with the big guy.

So even if
you're a good person,

that doesn't cut it
in your world, Carbo?

Oh, no, yeah, sure
you can still get in

but if you haven't
been dunked,

there's no guarantees.

What? Goodnight.

-Night.
-Night.

-Night, devil-spawn.
-Oh, Carbo!

No, you should've heard him
when we were kids

saying that I'd go to hell

and that I should be
burned at the stake.

-What?
-It's not funny, Mel.

-He's put curses on me.
-Yeah.

Yeah, they used to work
when I was five.

[imitating zombie groaning]

Get away you freak!

See? Still running scared.

You know, as guardian,
you might have to teach Ruby

some of your amazing
defense techniques.

-What about our kids?
-Our kids?

[Ben] Yeah, you're christened,
I'm not.

What are our kids gonna be?

Uh, let's save that argument

for the very distant future.

How distant?

Ooh, no, can't see
anything just yet.

[both chuckle softly]

[Jake] What about this one?

-Traicee Green?
-[Rachel] What, Traicee

-with an "I" and a double "E"?
-[Julie] Oh.

It sounds free spirited.

Oh, a naming day officiated

by someone
who can't even spell,

I don't think so.

Oh, why do we even
need a celebrant anyway?

-We've never had one before.
-[Rachel] Mom, honestly

a celebrant will just ensure
that the whole day

runs nice and smoothly.

Won't it make it too formal?

No, not if you
don't want it to

and you've got to roll
with the times.

[Julie] Okay,
rolling, I'm rolling.

Speaking of, are those
sausage rolls for the party?

Yeah, I'm going
to freeze them.

Oh, and I want you to do those
horse raddishy things.

Yeah, okay. Are they the fancy
ones or the other ones?

-They're the fancy ones.
-Good. Continue.

[Julie] Um, Jake, did you
actually hear me

put Rachel in charge?

No, when you
made her guardian,

you created a monster.

I'm a caring monster. [roars]

Dad, Dad what do you think?

-Binti Bloom?
-[Jake chuckles]

What parent would name
a child that?

The parents of a future
celebrant, apparently.

Celebrant?

We're rolling with the times.

Look she's non-denominational,

she's "Your day, your way",

-and she's free.
-Now we're talking.

[Rachel] No,
I meant as in available.

What, so Traicee Green's out

but Binti Bloom's fine?

Yeah. Binti Bloom,

Rachel Rafter, Ruby Rafter.

See?
You can't resist alliteration.

How's Chel?

Oh, you know what Chel's like.

Cracked a lot of jokes
but she seemed exhausted.

She really needs
this operation.

Yeah.

[slow music playing]

[Sammy] Sorry, I'm late.

-Again.
-That's cool.

Do you want a coffee?

[Sammy] Oh, no I can't.
I've got to run.

Oh, okay.

Uh, Mom and Dad
are having a naming ceremony

on Saturday
and I'd like you to come.

-What?
-Um, yeah, I'm not sure.

Are you busy?

No, I just don't want
it to be awkward.

It won't.

Well it doesn't have to be.

Nathan, why do you
want me to be there?

Well, it's not just me.
It would mean a lot to everyone.

Yeah, but I don't have a role
in your family anymore.

What, so we all just stop
caring about you is that it?

No, it's just...
it can't be like it was.

Are you all right?

Yeah, of course.

Are you sure?

Yes. Why?

Uh, Ben said you've got
something going on.

Something medical.

-What is it? Nathan--
-What... No, it's nothing.

He shouldn't
have said anything.

What?

You know how Chel
needs a new kidney?

Yeah.

You're gonna be the donor?

Mm, well, that's the plan.

Really?

What?

Nathan, that is...

really amazing.

I am so proud of you.

I should get going.

So, Saturday?

Yeah, uh, you'll come?

Yeah, I'd love to.

Just let me know what time.

Yeah, great, I will.

Honestly, I think
what you're doing for Chel is,

incredible.

Thanks.

-Bye.
-Bye.

And then I realized
my coordinator was right.

I still wanted
Sammy's approval.

I was doing this for me.

[Rachel] Okay.
So there's paper, paint,

glue, glitter
and you're gonna want to

make the letters big, okay?
Like, huge

'cause it's the center point
of the entire ceremony.

Um, why are you telling us
if we're doing this together?

Oh, no, we are but I have
to pick Jake up

from a job first
so if you guys

could just make a start,
that would be great.

[Melissa] Yep, sure.

[Rachel] Ooh, Nathan,
you know those

horse raddishy things I do?

Yep, can you please make them
for the naming day?

Yep, I guess.

So what exactly are you doing?

Excuse me?

I'm finding a celebrant,
I'm writing a speech--

[scoffs] We all have to
write a speech, Rachel.

I sourced
all this material, Ben.

From the cupboard next door.

I am masterminding
the entire event, Ben.

Uh, so in other words, nothing.

So, if it's
all right with you,

before we get started,

I'm gonna eat my breakfast.

[Rachel exhales]

The coordinator was right.

What?

Well, I told Sammy

and I felt like a hero.

Yeah, but well that's just
a nice side effect, yeah?

Yeah, but what if it's
the underlying reason?

I mean, how selfish
does that make me?

No, Nathan, you've got
to stop saying that.

You're not selfish.

Well, she wasn't even coming
to the naming day

and, oh, bloody hell,

oh, maybe that's why
I told her,

to try and win her over.

I mean, how pathetic is that?

-[Rachel] Nathan--
-No, it was. It was.

It was to try
and make myself feel better

and to validate myself and--

Nathan, you have to stop.

What you're doing
is a good thing, okay?

Sorry. I shouldn't be
dumping all this on you.

-I'll figure it out.
-See?

Now a selfish person
wouldn't say that, would they?

If you really want to do this,
you'll find a way.

I know you will.

I don't know about this movie.

I thought
you wanted to see it?

Uh, you know the plot
just doesn't grab me.

What's it about?

Well, two friends, you see,

one doesn't want
the other to know

she's feeling
a bit under the weather

because she doesn't want
to let him down.

What a martyr.

Yeah, well, the twist is

that when he discovers
she's just dragging herself out

for his sake,
he feels even more let down.

Oh, well, maybe
she was just hoping

that she'd come good again.

[Ted] And he appreciates that.

But it's not gonna happen,
is it?

Oh, I can't, Ted.

Not today.

Come on, back inside.

Put your feet up

-and watch the midday movie--
-[Chel] Oh, God.

...till it's time
for your appointment.

[light music playing]

I thought you were going
to the movies?

A change of plans, mate.

Chel's bunkered down
on the couch.

Well, is she sick?

Oh, no she's just resting up
before her treatment.

-Right.
-I think

she's bunging it
on myself mate.

She always did hate
action movies.

[chuckles]

Hey, Granddad, do you reckon

I could take her
to the hospital?

Are you sure?
It's a long few hours.

Yeah, I just thought
it might help

if I can get a feel
for what she's going through,

-you know?
-Help what?

Nothing.
Um, bad choice of words.

-Yeah, sure.
-Yeah?

-Sure, no worries.
-Okay, great. Thanks.

[Ben] This is
gonna look so cute.

-[Melissa] Yeah.
-I'm excited.

I wasn't there for Rachel's

and I was too young
to remember Nathan's.

Yeah, it's funny.
All this effort

and Ruby's not going to
remember hers either.

Ha, kind of like
me and our wedding.

-[clicks tongue]
-Jokes. Jokes.

-[giggles]
-Hey, hey, hey, one day,

we'll be doing this
for our kids.

-Mm...
-[Ben] Hey?

Hey?

So when's it gonna be?

In a year's time?

Oh, [chuckles] freezing.

Two years?

Uh, still cold.

Five years?

[imitates shivering]

Oh, come on, we can't wait
more than five years.

Oh, don't you just
want to enjoy

being married for a while?

Yeah, but I don't want
to leave it too long

to start a family either.

[Carbo] Who's starting a family?

-No one.
-Me.

No, it's good you guys
are talking about it.

You know, you're not
getting any younger.

-Oh, you can talk.
-What?

At least I'm not going grey.

-Neither am I.
-Oh, yeah?

-[screams] Geez!
-What's this?

[gasps] Is there anymore?
Get them off,

-get them off, come on.
-[Melissa] No, you do know

if you pluck a grey hair,

six more
will come to its funeral.

Well, it's too late now,
you've already plucked it.

[gasps] I forgot.
It must be my age.

[Ben] Don't worry about
grey hairs, Carbo.

-Everybody gets them.
-Yeah. A rite of passage.

But not at my age. Why me?

Ten years?

Warmer.

This can't be happening.

[upbeat amusing music playing]

Aha!

[gasps]

-Hey.
-Hey, Al.

-What's up with you?
-[Grace] Hey.

-Hey.
-Ooh, look at you.

Where are you off to?

-Lunch.
-[Rachel] Ooh, lunch, eh?

Who might that be with? Doug?

Mom is allowed
to have some fun.

I'm not stopping her.

Yes, you are, mate.
You're sulking.

-Cut it out.
-No, Jake, don't.

You'll just make it worse.

Um, hey,
Mom wants to invite you

and Alex and Doug
to the naming day

next Saturday for Ruby.

Oh, that's lovely, thanks.

Alex, can you make it?

-Al?
-Depends.

Alex, I've told you,

I'm just going out to lunch
and I won't be late.

Do you want me to pick up
a DVD on the way home?

Don't worry.

I'm going out.

Where to?

[Alex] Just out.

-[door opens]
-[sighs]

Maybe I should
take it slower with Doug.

Just give your brother
a chance to get used to it.

You go out
once a week if that.

Yeah. No, you go
and, you know what,

we were going to
hang here anyway so

that way he won't come home
to an empty house.

Thanks, Rachel.

Bye, love.

-[Jake] Bye.
-See you.

[doorbell rings]

[Binti] You must be Dave?

Yes I am.

-[excitedly] Binti Bloom!
-Hi.

Um, come in.

-[Julie] Hi, I'm Julie.
-Oh, Binti.

It's a pleasure. [chuckles]

I, uh, just put Ruby
down for a nap.

Oh, what a shame

I won't get to meet
the little darling.

Take a seat.

Would you like a tea
or a coffee?

Oh, lovely.

Which one?

Oh, juice. [chuckles]

Well, we've never used
a celebrant before

so we're not quite sure
what to expect.

Oh, first timers, eh?

Look, nothing to worry about.

You're in very, very,
very experienced hands.

Oh, so you've done
a lot of naming days?

[Binti] Mm.
Now where would you like me?

Somewhere,
somewhere over here?

[Binti breathing rapidly]

[Binti exhales sharply]

[squeaks]

[exerts]

[pops]

I'm here!

I feel it's important
to vocalize that line

-for the audience.
-The audience?

Old habits die hard.

I used to perform
on the stage.

-Really?
-[Binti] Mm.

Now the mime segues
into the dance.

The dance?

Hi-ya-ya. Hi-ya-ya-ya.

-Ha! Ha!
-[scoffs] Oh.

It's based on
a Hopi Indian ritual.

Ha! Ha! Ha... [exhales]

[Binti vocalizes]

-[chuckles nervously]
-Actually, Binti...

Binti we really have
to be somewhere so...

Yes, yes, so, um,
so what we'll do is,

uh, we'll call you, um,

after we've made our decision.

Why does everyone
always say that?

Uh, you know,
for the price of a celebrant,

you get a one woman show.

Well, we don't really
want a show.

We just want a nice day
for Ruby.

Who?

Thanks for coming.

-Drive carefully.
-[Julie] Yep.

-Bye.
-[Julie chuckles]

I'm going to kill Rachel.

Stand in line.

Do you want to come in
for a cuppa?

Or are you going to hit
the strip clubs up the Cross?

[chuckles] No, I think
I better keep going

but, uh, say hello
to Tiffany for me

if you see her.

How'd you go with Michael?

-Not a lot gets past him.
-No.

No, he's put me through
the wringer.

Mm. Me too.

Been prodded and poked
for quite a while now,

-me and you.
-Yeah.

I guess we have.

Don't do it.

-What?
-This whole thing.

No, Chel. I--

No, I can see
it's weighing on you.

It's weighing on me.

It's not that
I don't wanna do it,

it's just that I'm...

I don't know I guess
I'm scared of failing.

Yeah, but that's the thing.

You're scared of failing,
scared of success.

It's not fair
that you're scared at all.

There's no shame
in walking away.

I'm doing this, Chel.

Okay? End of story.

Now get out of here.
[chuckles]

See you soon, yeah?

-Yeah.
-Bye.

[Nathan] I sounded
so confident,

but inside,
I wasn't fooling anyone.

[starts engine]

[Jake] All right.
Thanks, mate.

He was at the local but he left
a couple of hours ago.

-And what state was he in?
-Oh...

-Jake?
-He'd had a few.

Great. And what if he went
somewhere they don't know him?

You know what a target he is.

No, but he makes friends
wherever he goes.

Not in this mood he doesn't.

I should've known
he'd react like this.

-Mom--
-[Grace] Well, you couldn't

handle it, why should he?

[Jake] Yeah,
but I got over it.

This has been weeks.

All your lives you've
had me to yourselves

and then I suddenly go
and change the ground rules

and just expect
everyone else to adapt.

[Jake] No, no, he shook
things up by heading to NZ.

-I might get out of your hair.
-No, you don't have to, baby.

-No this is family stuff.
-I'm sorry, Rachel.

It's fine and let me know

if there's anything I can do,
okay?

Well, I'll walk you
to the door.

No, no, no, that's cool.
You stay with your mom, okay?

He'll come home
safe and sound.

-I know he will.
-Yeah.

Then I'll kill him.

[light music playing]

[Alex sniffles and coughs]

Alex?

I'm not going inside
and you can't make me.

You're drunk.

How can you tell?

Come on.
Let me take you inside.

Your mom is really
worried about you.

She doesn't care about me.

If she did,
she'd drop that bloke.

Hey, you have to listen
to me, okay?

You cannot ask that of her
and you know you can't.

Everybody's got someone
except for me.

No.

That's not true. Don't.

I'm just in the way.

You are not in the way.

-You are so loved by--
-[Alex coughing]

[Alex retching]

There you go.

He's asleep.

So, how are we gonna deal
with this in the morning?

Cooling things with Doug
isn't going to help anybody.

Well, I'm not going
to ignore Alex's feelings.

But you're allowed
to be happy, Mum.

Yeah, so is Alex.

[Rachel] Yeah,
but he can't be unless

you are.
Not really. Sorry.

I think he does want you
to be happy.

You know, he's just...
He's lonely.

It's been just
the three of us for,

well for always.

And now that's changing.

It just... He needs
time to adjust, that's all.

[crickets chirping]

[door closes]

-[Rachel] Hey.
-[Julie] Hey.

I thought you were staying
at Jake's tonight?

Yeah, I was. I left them
to their family stuff though.

Oh, everything okay?

[Rachel] It will be.

I've got no idea
how many of them

are gonna come
to the naming day though.

Oh, that's all right,
there'll be enough.

I've over-catered as usual.

Hey, how was Binti?

[television turns off]

You set us up, didn't you?

I'm sorry?

There's no way
you could've looked

at that website and not known
what was in store.

I didn't click
on any of the links. Why?

We've got one word
for you, Rachel.

Mime.

-[snickers] No.
-[Julie chuckles]

Yeah,
then interpretive dance.

Yeah, the journey
through the birth canal

-and into the world. [pops]
-I'm here!

Oh, my gosh.
Are you kidding?

-Sadly, no.
-Oh, I wish I'd seen it.

Well, unfortunately
I can't get it out of my mind.

Gosh, Jake was really off
with her.

Oh, so now
it was Jake's idea, was it?

No, this
is actually a disaster.

We... How are we gonna find
a celebrant in time?

No, no, it doesn't matter.

We're gonna do it ourselves
just like we always have.

Yeah, who better
to introduce Ruby to the world

than her parents?

The guardian
doesn't approve?

Well, I just think
a celebrant would write

something for Ruby
that's poignant and moving,

and not, um, not--

What?

Embarrassing.

What... You don't think
I can do moving?

-No I--
-[Dave] You know, I wrote

some pretty decent songs
in my life, you know?

[laughter]

-Okay.
-Suburban Boy?

[Dave] Oh.

Are you going to break it
to him or should I?

Yeah, right,
you just laugh it up,

laugh it up but come
the naming ceremony,

there will not be a dry eye
in the house.

You mark my words.

Oh, no,
we'll be crying, Dad,

-don't worry about that.
-[Julie laughs]

[Julie sighs] That was funny.
[snickers]

You!
Plucker!

This is your fault!

-[Melissa] What?
-You said they'd come

to the funeral and they did.

Six of them.
Look.

I can only see two.

That's the worst part of it.

There's four more
albinos downstairs.

-Look--
-Oh, Carbo! Come on!

No, right,
it'll give us nightmares.

Nightmares?
Hey, I'm living a nightmare.

You're just aging
like the rest of us.

No, no, not Carbo.
Carbo Karandonis does not age.

[door closes]

[Ben] Hey.
How's Chel?

Yeah, she's okay.

Hey, Nathan,
you can see it, right?

Carbo! What the hell
is wrong with you?

That is the last image
I need before I go to bed.

-I'll leave you guys to it.
-Help me.

Just pluck them.

Yeah, I'll have hundreds
by the morning.

-Then dye them.
-No way.

I'll look like a tragic uncle
at an Italian wedding

with dye running down
his face.

Then just shave it.

-No way.
-Then leave it.

What, these are my options?

I'm bald, grey or tragic.

Oh, it's not true, Carbo.

No matter what you do,
you'll always be tragic.

[laughs]

"R" is for rascally,
rampant, robotic.

There's not
a whole lot of poetic words

-starting with "R".
-Oh, rubbish.

That's not poetic.

No, no I mean
what about radiant,

resplendent, raunchy, risque--

Oi, stop distracting.

I've still
got three letters to go.

Yeah, lucky her name's
not Clementine-Hermione.

"U" is for--

Don't you think
you should be writing

a bit more from the heart?

Jules, finding words
to match the letters

-in her name is fun.
-Yeah, all right,

but you've never done it
like this with the other kids.

That's because
I didn't think of it, did I?

Yeah, but Rachel
wants poignant, emotional.

Well, this is. Listen,

"'U' is for unstoppable,
untamed.

U little ripper".

What?

I'm trying to figure out
if you're joking or not.

It's a work in progress.

I promise you, the finished
product will make you blubber.

Oh, blubber.

"B" is for blubber
because that's what I do

every time I look at you.

Yeah, now I know
you're joking.

Jules, of course
it'll be from the heart.

It's far too important
to be anything else.

But the, uh,
the eldest daughter

doesn't need to know
that does she?

[gasps] Ooh, sneaky.
"D" is for Dave.

Devious, deceptive--

And damn sexy, [imitating
James Bond] Ms. Moneypenny.

[Julie giggling]

All right.
I've got to get back.

[Julie] No, you don't. [laughs]

[slow music playing]

Have you got
any dark hair dye?

I ran out this morning.

I knew it was a long shot
but Carbo's desperate.

-Are you okay?
-Hmm?

Is it Chel?

Did something happen
at dialysis?

No.

Well, soon she won't have
to go anymore.

-You're doing a great thing.
-Shut up, Ben.

Sure.

Well, at this stage
it doesn't look like

it's going to happen at all.

What?

And I can't tell Chel
and I can't tell Dad.

Have you changed your mind?

No. Well, of course not.

What you think
I'm gonna back out?

No, I'm failing
the psych test.

The coordinator doesn't trust
my reasons and I'm not sure

I do anymore.

What other reason is there?

'Cause it makes me
feel better.

It makes me feel good
about myself.

[Ben] And it saves
Chel's life.

Well, apparently
that's not good enough.

Well, I don't know
what to say.

That makes two of us, Ben.

It's not over yet.

You've got other sessions
with this guy, right?

-Mm.
-Just turn it around

and pull something out.
Dig deep.

Whatever else our footy coach
used to say.

Sure, Ben.
No worries.

Just don't give up yet
is what I mean.

What?

It must be great being you.
Everything's so simple.

Simple is there's got to be
another solution.

Now don't take this
as patronizing or anything

but as the older brother
in the room...

Here it comes.

You're growing up.

Right.

No, I'm serious.
You are.

[mellow music playing]

[sighs]

[Nathan] A week later
and definite progress

had been made.

Mom had project managed
the naming ceremony,

allowing Rachel
to believe she had.

Oh, and Carbo's grey hair
problem had been dealt with.

Plucked on top
and dyed down below.

-[Dave] Hey, Nick?
-Yeah?

[Dave] Can you see
if you can settle her please?

-Allow me.
-[Dave] Thank you.

-Hello.
-[Dave] Just a bit grizzly.

-[Ruby crying]
-Come on, Rubes.

You can't grizzle
all through your big day.

-[shushes]
-[Dave] "R". "R" is for wriggly.

-Wriggly.
-[Rachel] Wriggly?

[Dave] Yes.

Dad, that's W. Mom,
you have to stop him.

Please stop him.

Oh, what
and stifle creativity?

-No.
-Mom--

[Carbo] Well, that was a V8.

The six cylinder is more

of a hollow sound like this.
[imitates engine sound popping]

You hear the difference?
Yeah?

That is the first time
she's stopped grizzling all day.

[Carbo] Oh, that's because
she can sense

that I'm a good baptized boy
and wants to join the club.

-Yes.
-Well, thanks, Nick.

Right now she's going
to join the Rafter club.

[Carbo] Okay, okay.

[Julie] Oh.
It's all right, sweetie.

Oh. All right. Yes.

Oh, okay, yes,
you can go back to Nick

-when we get to the park.
-[Ruby crying]

-Hey, Nathan.
-[Nathan] Yep.

Can I grab a lift with you?

Yeah, of course.
Come on.

It'll give you a chance
to explain

those premature worry lines.

Oh, blame Dad.
It's bad genes.

Oh, his genes are all right.

-[both chuckles]
-[Nathan] Yeah.

What I said last week,
I meant.

Yeah, I know
and I meant what I said.

But I still could get
knocked back, you know,

and it'd have nothing to do
with bad genes.

[Chel] I know.

And if that's what happens,
well, then it was

never meant to be.

-You all right?
-Yeah.

Okay.

[Nathan] But for some of us,
some things were unchanged.

-[Julie] Oh, hello!
-Hi.

Hey.

-Thanks for having me.
-Thanks for coming.

-[Sammy] And this is for Ruby.
-[Julie] Thank you.

-[Dave] Cheers.
-Hello.

Hey, thanks for coming.
It means a lot.

I wouldn't have missed it.

Oh, and I heard
about you and Nathan.

I think it's really wonderful.

Oh, please don't.
Do you wanna grab a drink?

Sure.

So, what's this?

This is Chel's gift
to Ruby.

-Oh.
-[Ted] A Josephine lily.

-You didn't have to.
-[chuckles]

[Ted] Mate, you have no idea
how many garden shops

she rang to find one of these.

Sorry, what is it?

[Chel] Well,
it's nothing yet.

It won't even flower
for 15 years.

Oh.

But even if
she doesn't remember me,

she will be reminded
of how blessed I felt

to have been in her life.

Oh, well, hopefully
you'll be here

to remind her yourself.

Thank you.
It's a beautiful thought.

-Jake's here!
-[both women grunt]

Happy naming day!

Hi!

-Hey.
-[Grace] Hi.

Thanks for inviting us.

[Julie] Oh,
thanks for coming.

Hey, where's Doug?

Oh, um...

-Hey, Jake.
-Hey, how are you?

-[Julie] So, um--
-Hey.

[Julie] ...come through.
Hi, Alex. Come through.

-You look beautiful.
-[Grace] Oh, you look superb.

Thanks for coming.

[imitates engine accelerating]

Gonna have to wean her
off you I'm afraid.

We're about to get started.

-Okay, here we go.
-Hey, sweetie.

Yeah, she likes
the V8 the best.

Oh.

[Carbo] You don't want
to overdo it.

You don't want to flood
the engine.

Okay. Oh.

Oh, it looks so wonderful.

-Oh, yeah.
-It's great.

Thanks.
Yeah, everyone did their bit.

Yeah, yeah,
it was a real team effort.

What did you do again?

Oh, I'm not after
any credit, Ben.

Got to go mingle.

Fantail?

[Melissa] That's
a really good look.

I can't help it.

I got a rash
from the hair dye.

Carbo, just embrace it.
Think George Clooney.

Look, well up here's
one thing but down there,

no snow below.

[Jake] Hey.

Hey. Hey, so what's the story?

Is Doug off the scene
for good or--

Oh, not officially
but that's how it'll end up.

It makes baby so unhappy.

-Get stuffed.
-Oh.

Your mom's allowed a life
of her own, isn't she?

Yeah.

When?

Come on. When?

You can't be like Ruby
all your life, mate.

Oh, right. Yeah, and you--

-Jake--
-[Jake] He's got to stand

-on his own two feet sometime.
-You can talk, can you?

You're still living at home
with Mommy too, yeah?

[Rachel] Hey, hey.
Well, maybe that means

you're both gonna have
to give her

a bit of space sometime.

Okay, everyone,
let's gather around.

We might just have a small
window of opportunity

while the guest of honor
is still in the mood.

Hey, um, do you have
a second to meet up tomorrow?

Any good reason
in particular?

Well, yeah, I just...

I just thought we should talk
but it's kind of hard here.

Okay. Well, you just
text me where and when.

[Julie] Okay,
can we have the guardians

to the front, please?

Oh, it looks like
I'm on.

[Ben] Little Ruby,

I promise

I will always protect you.

And I'll teach you
to value things in life

that money can't buy.

I'll teach you you get out
of life what you put into it

and I promise
that as long as I live,

you'll never be lonely.

[Nathan] Ruby,
I'll always be there

to catch you if you fall.

I'll always stand by you
and try

and never to let you down.

[Julie] Oh, we're very thankful
that Ruby has you all

in her life and, uh, Nick,

if she ever needs spiritual
guidance of the orthodox kind,

you're the man. [chuckles]

And Dad, we know
that you'll continue

to always make sure
that we stay on

the straight
and narrow. [chuckles]

So, uh, Dave's now written
something very special.

[Dave] Yeah, um, Rachel,
could you prompt me if I...

If I forget it?

Thanks.

Ruby, I, ah,
I certainly can't say

that you're not
full of surprises.

When we discovered
that we were having you,

that was a surprise.

Didn't see that one coming,
believe me.

And your name, well,
it was a surprise too

but it just seemed to fit.

Since then I've done
a little bit of research

and Ruby means a precious gem
that brings light

into everyone's lives
and looking around here

at all the loved ones
who will be looking out for you,

it's no wonder that
that's the meaning of the word.

No surprises there.

I, uh, I guess on a basic level,
our gift to you is life.

But you give us something
just as amazing in return.

Just simply by the act
of loving you,

we receive so much.

That's what love's all about.

-Giving and receiving.
-[chuckles]

So, to Ruby.

[all] To Ruby.

[applause]

[Nathan] Little did Dad know
it but his words

made everything
suddenly clear.

You were right, Michael.

Part of the reason
I'm doing this is for me.

I admit, it makes me
feel good about myself.

But what's wrong with that?

Love's a two way street.

And when you love,
you get just as much back

as you give out.

And there
is a selfish component

of love that everyone feels,
not just me.

I'm no different
to anyone else.

And I'm not gonna apologize
for that.

Or myself anymore.

[light music playing]

I reckon this would go
really nice with those,

uh, nice spotty leggings.

I think you've missed
your true calling

as a baby stylist, Dave.

And as a celebrant.

Okay, I am sorry
that I may--

-Oh, yes.
-I may have doubted--

Oh, here we go.

[Rachel] What you said.
It was... It was wonderful.

In fact, I'd go further
than that.

I'd say it was genius.

-Oh.
-[Rachel] Yeah.

A true poet of the people,
you know.

Yes.

You touched
the heart of humanity.

-It was wise and profound and--
All right, that's enough.

You did good, okay, old man.

Hey, enough
with the old man.

[chuckles] Sorry.

[Julie] Hey, hey,
how'd you go?

-They said yes.
-[gasps]

[Nathan] All approved.

Good to go.
It's happening.

-Darling.
-Thanks.

[pleasant music playing]

He is so brave.

That's fantastic.
It really is.

I mean,
he is saving Chel's life.

Mm.

I'm so glad it wasn't up
to me to make that decision.

-Me too.
-Oh, I mean, you know,

I'd like to think
I would if I had to, but--

Yeah, I know, baby,
I know.

Do you want to hear
my family news?

-Uh-huh.
-Alex is moving out of home.

-What?
-Yeah.

-For good?
-Well, for now anyway.

[scoffs] How is your mom?

-A bit fragile.
-Yeah, I'll bet she is.

It's not every day
you lose both your sons.

Are you moving out
with him?

Oh, just until he finds
his feet.

You okay with that?

Yeah. Yeah, I am. I...

No, I think it's a great idea.

But it doesn't...
It doesn't mean

that you and I won't get
our own place together someday.

About a year I reckon, tops.

Hmm. And in a year,
you might have the suburbs

-out of your system.
-Never.

Inner city living here
we come.

Look, Rachel, whatever
gets you through the day.

[Nathan] Ruby was welcomed
into the world by the people

who'll protect her

and who she'll protect
in the future.

Her rite of passage
was complete.

I still had
a couple more to go.

Okay, stalker,
this has got to stop.

No one answered the door.

Do you want to come in?

I'm not happy, Nathan.

What, did you miss
your midday movie?

I wanted you to try.

I wanted you to have
a clear conscience,

but you were supposed
to be rejected.

Well, it was obviously
meant to be.

Don't give me
that namby-pamby hippie stuff.

You invented
that hippie stuff, Chel.

Nathan, this is serious.

I know.

The real gift
is from you to me, Chel.

I can't thank you enough.

["Deep Blue Sea" playing]

[Nathan] It's funny when
you know someone so well.

Every smile, every gesture.

I wanted you to like me
and I thought

that if I showed you the place
where I really live

then there would be
a zero chance of that.

She still looked the same.
And everything had changed.

I've got to go.

-Hello.
-[Sammy] Hey.

[Sammy chuckles]

Thanks for coming
yesterday.

It was beautiful.
I'm really glad I did.

[Nathan] Yeah.

So what is it
that you have to tell me?

I'm moving to London.

-Right.
-Yeah, for real this time.

I, uh, I got in touch
with that company

-who offered me a job before.
-Oh, Nick Leigh.

And it turns out
they've got another opening.

And now you're free.

You can head over there
and live the life

you were always meant to lead.
