All language subtitles for McLeods Daughters (2001) - S03E26 - Body Language (aka The Bottom Line) (1080p AMZN WEB-DL x265 MONOLITH)

Previously on McLoed's Daughters.

I split up with Dave.

I'm just not used to being told what to do,

you know,
maybe that makes me old-fashioned,

but it's who I am.

I love who you are.

Let's slow down.

Well look on the bright side.

There isn't one mate.

At least you didn't sleep with Sandra too.

You didn't?

You actually topped a class.

I really love this course.

Well I'm glad to hear it.

So you think she's got a chance to win

the Regional Young Farmer's Cup?

She's got the home-turf advantage.

Jake?

Look, Storm Cloud is my stallion,

so I'm the one running this business,

not everyone else.

Your stallion.

I think Jake got so carried
away with the business

he lost sight of what really matters.

People make mistakes Becky.

How'd it go?

You know with your secret admirer?

Actually, it was yours.

I give that about a nine and a half.

What's with the half off?

I don't give tens.

You will when I'm finished.

You know all you get for winning

Regional Young Farmer of the Year

is a trophy and your name on the wall

at the RSL?

Yeah, and a scholarship at
Higgins Agricultural College.

Yeah, that's if you wanna study.

Well, Claire won in '96
and everybody respects her.

I think you got an audience.

Yeah I know.

He's coming over.

Oh great.

G'day.

Come to watch me win?

No, I've come to compete.

Figure you can't ignore me when I win.

Oh you think you can beat me?

You bet.

But I'm a better rider than you.

Yeah, and I'm a better sheerer.

Well, we'll about that.

(upbeat music)

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

What, stinking up with flies all over?

It's a sonnet Terry.

Yeah I know that.

I mean this bloke's got some nerve

inviting you into his office alone

to talk about love poetry.

Gordon's helping me expand my mind.

Gordon?

What happened to Mr. Vidmar?

Hands off,
they're for the Young Farmer's Comp.

Well, can I take some for the ride?

You competing?

No, but I'm going to pick up the trophy.

Look, I don't care how
many degrees this bloke has,

he is still a bloke.

Do you find it so hard
to believe that somebody

could be interested in me for my brain?

Did he give off any signals?

What?

Well everyone gives off signals,

like does he touch you on the arm,

or does he kiss you hello?

No.

Well when he talks to you,
does he look into your eyes,

or does he look at your mouth?

Because if he looks at your mouth

it means he wants to kiss you.

Eyes, definitely.

See, nothing to worry about.

Put some new feed down.

The breeding program was Becky's idea,

she's been looking after King Harold.

I've been keeping him up in the yard,

just so I could keep an eye
on him while he's recovering,

but I reckon he's about ready to take down

to the bottom paddocks now.

Haven't you got a bit much on your plate?

No.

Becky's the best station
hand I've ever had.

There's nothing she can't do.

King Harold's in pretty good shape.

So cut her some slack, would ya Harry?

Yeah, okay.

Just make sure you settle him
when you get him down there.

Yeah I will.

So has he recovered yet?

Getting there.

You know what they say,
age does weary them.

Comps about to start, where are you set up?

Maury's paddock.

I can give you a lift if you...

No thanks.

Looks like grandpappy's
finally come to his senses.

Oh that's right,

love 'em and leave 'em.

Like father like son.

Hey Alex.

Welcome to the Regional
Young Farmer's Competition.

As well as receiving a
three-year scholarship

to the prestigious Higgins
Agricultural College,

the winner will go on to
compete in the nationals.

Now the rules are simple.

Competition will be held over two days.

What does she mean,
"like father, like son?"

Professionalism, initiative, and skill...

I think she needs changing.

I thinks it's your turn and
stop changing the subject.

How would I know what goes on in her head?

Now I'd like to introduce the contestants.

From right here on Drovers Run,
we have Becky Howard.

Then Ruth Davies,
Jake Harrison, Warren Barr,

Dan Smith, and Mark Weller.

Let's give 'em all a round of applause.

All right,
the first module will be sheep-counting.

(upbeat music)

Harry, I just wanted to say,

I know things didn't end well at Kilarney,

but maybe judge me fairly
on my performance today?

It's all right, I'm a fair man.

If you wanted to break up with me,

the nice thing would
be to do it to my face.

I prefer we didn't discuss this in public.

Relax Harry,
relationships end all the time,

and everybody get on.

Jake Harrison.

Watch and learn.

Ha, spot on!

You're behind already.

You got lucky.

Luck has nothing to do with it.

You've always been full of yourself.

Yeah,
and you used to pretend you didn't like me.

I'm not falling for it this time either.

You were flirting.

No I wasn't.

Hey, I might not know a
lot about this sheep stuff,

but I know flirting when I see it.

You looked at his bum.

No I didn't.

Yes, you did.
No, I didn't.

You know I never got
any trophies in school.

I really wanted the netball one though.

It had this tiny gold girl on top

with a tiny little gold skirt.

How come you never got it?

Wasn't on the netball team.

(laughs)

I got footie trophies, athletic trophies.

Dave had lots from Uni
from lacrosse as well.

You okay?

I'm fine.

So I'll never have a trophy.

It's not too late, you know.

To take up netball.

Yeah.

You slept with Sandra, didn't ya?

I haven't slept with everyone, ya know?

Just about.

Well, she wasn't one of them.

Then why would she say,
"like father, like son?"

How would I know?

You're shirty.

You always get shirty when I catch you out.

Just tell me the truth,
otherwise I'll find out,

and then I'll never trust you again.

All right.

I slept with her, once,
before you and I got together.

I was single, I'm a guy, she offered.

Okay?

No yelling.

You must be angry.

Well at least you got something right.

Next contestant in the barrel race,
Becky Howard.

Sandra.

Alex.

Thanks a lot.

I'm surprised you hadn't told Claire.

It never pays to lie about these things.

When you're ready.

Come on, just the way we practiced it,
that's right.

(upbeat music)

Come on Beck!

15.4 seconds, that's the fastest time today

ladies and gentlemen,

putting Becky Howard in the lead,

followed closely by Jake Harrison.

(applause)

That was a good ride.

No, that was a great ride.

Still reckon you can win?

Ah, it's not over yet.

Why don't you give up,
you know you can't beat me.

When I do, I want you to come with me.

To college?

I leased my own place.

Storm Cloud's there,
there's plenty of room to expand.

The only thing missing
is you to run it with me.

And leave Drovers?

I've missed you more than anything.

I love you.

(soft music)

Hey Jo.

You know when your
mom and I first got together,

did you spot the signs that
she was interested in someone?

No, she hid it really well,

I didn't have a clue, remember?

Why?

Oh, just wondering.

Ready, set, go!

(cheering)

Come on, push it.

Come on man, hurry up.

Come on, let's go Warren!

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.

Come on man, they're killin' ya.

Come on man, hurry up!

Come on, let's go Warren!

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.

Come on man, they're killing ya!

So at the end of the first day

the standings are as follows,

Jake Harrison in the lead on 55 points,

Ruth Davies, close second on 54,

Becky Howard, third on 52.

There ya go, third's not too bad.

I should be in the lead.

So?

You threw me off.

Well, it wasn't my intention.

Yeah, well don't come near me,

don't talk to me, don't even look at me,
I have to win this.

Competition will recommence

first thing in the morning.

Thanks for your participation.

(somber music)

It's not very good is it?

What did you expect, the Melbourne Cup?

Well, a bit more than a piece of shiny tin

on a block of fake wood.

Nah, when you're a kid, a trophy helps you

stand out and feel important.

Well, you'd know,

'cause you got nearly every one,
didn't you?

Didn't get public speaking,
lost that to Rachel Patterson.

(laughs)

The importance of rural
communities in Australia,

it was hopeless.

Nothing informative, no jokes,

she didn't even compare
and contrast other countries.

Well obviously yours was much better

The Rodeo Life.

(truck rattles)

Hold up, I think we got a flat.

I can't find the jack anywhere.

It's on the floor.

When you're ready.

All right, all right.

The Rodeo Life, by Nick Ryan.

I got it.

Rodeos consist of...

Do you still remember it?

I was 13 and I was robbed,

how can you forget something like that?

Rodeos consist of competitive events,

including saddle bronc riding,
bare-back bronc riding,

bull riding, team roping, steer wrestling,

barrel racing, campdrafting...

Uh-huh.

(laughs) Yep.

No, I know you can never
have too many quotes Gordon.

"Yet thou art more lovely
and more temperate,"

exactly what I was going to say.

But, look what more can I
write about iambic pentameter?

Yeah,
I've discussed the use of rhyming patterns

and the use of alliteration,

and sorry Gordon, just one minute.

Did you want something?

Oh, no just wondering
how long you're going to be.

Quite a while.

If they run out of sandwiches,

can you throw together more food?

Sure.

And check that there's
still towels and soap

in the sheerer's loos.

Sorry Gordon.

Robert Needson,
famous for the rope and tie,

Eric Bueller, famous for the saddle bronc,

are just some of the
legends of this exciting sport.

In conclusion, the word rodeo derives

from the Spanish rodeo, to surround,

so get yourself down to your local rodeo

and surround yourself with cowboys,
bulls, and a lot of fun.

Told you I was robbed of that trophy.

Robbed, you're lucky no one
hit you over the head with it.

What do you mean?

Well you just listed the events,

the famous riders, the best scores.

It wasn't a speech,
it was like one big list.

Well, it was interesting.

It sucked,
from the Latin meaning really bad.

Can I help you?

No I'm just making
sure he's all settled in.

Well I'm looking after him.

You should be focused on the competition.

I think I can handle both.

Harry certainly loves that bull.

I know.

All right, see you tomorrow.

Ah, there's the box.

How could you forget it?

Well you're the one hung up on trophies,

I thought you would've remembered it.

Someone might have picked it up.

Uh-oh.

Oh, this is going to make some young farmer

feel real special.

I hope Nick has serviced this.

Ah, it looks all right to me.

Okay, heads you go, tails you stay.

I'm not making this decision
based on the toss of a coin.

This can help.

If you don't like what the coin says,

it makes you realize what you really want.

I can get the heat balm off mom later

and help you with your
shoulders if you want.

You know, I've spent so
long being angry with him that,

maybe I was unfair.

Well it's a tough one.

You know, on the one hand you've got Jake,

who's handsome, rich,
and wants you to live with him,

and on the other hand you have me,

Drovers, and the breeding program.

And I can't leave Claire in the lurch.

But if you got the scholarship,
you'd be leaving anyway.

Yeah but that would be different,
I'd come back.

Admit it, you miss Jake.

What does the coin say?

Two out of three?

(somber music)

Hinges need a bit of an oil.

Like I said, it's not much,

but you're welcome to
stay as long as you want.

I'm not a charity case.

I'll work for my bed and board.

And I'll pay ya, but it won't be much.

Smells great.

Well you've been studying hard,

plus you got all your chores,

least I can manage is dinner to help out.

Thank you.

And I've made desert.

Apple crumble.

Oh yum, I love apple crumble.

Mom, do you know where the heat balm is?

In the bathroom.

It's good we can swap around,

you know,
do things differently from time to time.

Stops us getting in a rut,
taking each other for granted.

I know what that means.

You always rub your neck
when you need a massage.

Guilty.

Straight after dinner,
I'll get rid of all that tension.

I'm still not happy with the opening.

Shakespeare's 18th sonnet is a tribute

as much to the author as to the subject.

That sounds great.

Gordon has very high standards.

Maybe that other version I have is better.

Women!

They don't want the truth,

and they don't wanna be lied to either.

They don't know a good
speech when they hear it either.

Oh come on Nick, not the rodeo thing again.

You were robbed mate, I know.

Geez, you're up for it.

You know where I can
get another one just like it?

Well you might get lucky and fish it.

You want my advice,
just say sorry to Claire.

What for?

You just don't get women do ya?

What happened with
Sandra is ancient history Nick.

That's not the point, just say sorry.

But I'm not wrong.

Doesn't matter, trust me, just apologize.

Apologize for what?

I saw the light on.

You guys wanna help me drink these?

Pick up the trophy?

Yeah, it's very impressive.

Yeah, I was so proud the year I won it.

Oh, Dave rang.

Just wanted to see how you were.

So how's the competition going?

Jake's giving Becky a run for her money.

You reckon she'll forgive him?

Dunno.

Everybody makes mistakes, don't they?

Yep.

I mean I've done some
things I'm not proud of,

but some things are unforgivable.

Well that's for Becky to decide, isn't it?

Alex slept with Sandra.

When?

I don't know, a few months ago.

Before you two got together?

But if Nick had the hots for her,

I mean what does that say about me?

You are so contrary sometimes Claire,

what are you worried about?

What am I worried about,
he slept with Sandra!

But you slept with Peter
and Alex doesn't like him.

No, it's not the same thing!

You know,
Peter's not half as bad as Sandra.

You think you know somebody.

You can't get hung up
on people's pasts Claire,

as long as it really is the past.

So did Dave want me to call him back?

If you wanted to.

I miss him.

I know.

You got nothing to worry about with Alex.

He loves you,
he wouldn't do anything to wreck that.

(somber music)

Go on.

Knew you'd be practicing.

Must've got you worried.

I told you to stay away.

You know this place I've leased,

it's not much now, but I got plans.

Build a cottage on the hill.

Lots of windows, so you can

look out at the paddocks
in every direction.

Lots of bedrooms too, three at least.

One for us, and one for Denny,
one for Emma.

A boy and a girl right?

That was the plan.

Mine, not yours if I remember.

I've changed Beck.

I don't know how else to prove it to you.

I've got to go in.

Going night?

No, I gotta check on Harold first.

Hey!

Oy!

You all right King Harold?

(cow moos)

(ominous music)

I don't reckon Harry
meant for you to go this far.

Harry doesn't know what I saw last night.

Scared someone off trying to do away

with the King's family jewels.

Did you get a look at who?

No, they took off the minute they heard me.

Well why didn't they just steal him?

He's worth nothing castrated.

Harry didn't think I was up to the job.

Reckon someone's trying
to make me look bad.

Or make Drovers look bad.

You better get ready for the competition.

I'll move King Harold up to
where we can keep an eye on him.

Thanks.

And now for our next contestants

in the shearing module,

Becky Howard and Jake Harrison.

(rock music)

Come on Beck!

Still angry with me?

I'm sorry, okay?

You don't even know why you're apologizing.

Claire, this is stupid, I've said sorry,

what else do you want me to do?

You wanna cut my balls off?

Sandra!

Would you shut up about her?

No, someone tried to
castrate King Harold last night,

I reckon it was Sandra,
because Harry dumped her.

What if you're wrong?

I'm not.

Trust me.

(rock music)

Come on Beck, lets go!
Go Jake!

(cheering)

Just don't rub it in okay?

You okay?

Yeah, still a couple more events to go.

Hey, I know how much this means to you.

If you want me to pull out, just...

If you throw this competition
in any way whatsoever,

all bets are off.

Does that mean you're considering my offer?

I'll see you at bull classing.

Stop worrying Tess, it's only a trophy,

we'll find another one.

No it's not that.

Still thinking about Dave?

And the rest.

The Rodeo Life, by Nick Ryan.

Oh no, please, anything but that.

You reckon you can do better?

Let's hear a speech,
three minutes, any topic, go.

All right, you're on.

Come on then.

Coffee,
there are many ways to drink a coffee.

Cappuccino, macchiato,
latte, flat white, short black...

Very funny.

Also known as an espresso,
affogato, mocaccino, decaf...

Mocaccino, cappuccino,
Oh I heard your point,

all right.
Now that's a country

kind of coffee, it's like an instant coffee

with a lovely froth on top.
I didn't say it like that.

I wasn't as repetitious as that...

Ah, yes you were, you were a list man.

Wake up with a passionate grind...

It just makes sense that it was Sandra,

cause anyone else just
would've stolen the bull.

Yeah,
well I saw her checking him out last night,

and I thought it was strange at the time.

I knew it.

All right,
there'll be a short break everyone,

while we tally up the scores.

Look,
you just concentrate on winning this comp,

I'll take care of Sandra.

Go on.

In you go.

You know a thing or two about women.

Piece of advice Terry, never say sorry.

Well, Meg doesn't realize
what mongrels men can be,

you know, she's an innocent.

Well if she asks you why you're sorry,

you make something up, all right?

Well what if she's not
sure I'm the one for her,

and along comes this bloke
with a really big vocabulary,

you know, I know I'm no
bloody Shakespeare or nothing,

but that's never bothered her before.

How's your night?

Pardon?

Well someone tried to
cut King Harold's balls off,

my guess it was you.

Claire, just leave it will ya?

It couldn't have been me, I was with Alex.

She did turn up.

I was there a couple of hours.

So I'd be more careful about
making false accusations

if I were you.

Not everyone is as forgiving as I am.

So when were you gonna tell me this?

Listen, she came over uninvited

and wouldn't leave, all right?

Claire, I'm sorry, but nothing happened.

I give up, jeez.

All right, before we get going,

let me just update the scores.

We have Jake Harrison
tying with Ruth Davies

for first on 94 points.

Becky Howard a close third on 91.

Warren Barr on 85 points...

I should've won the shearing.

Look you're still in with a chance.

You win this, you've got the scholarship.

You're right, I'm gonna do it.

So if you'll all just start your engines.

(intense music)

(somber music)

Jake, are you okay?

Fell over, keep going!

Too late.

You okay?

(somber music)

You okay?

Yeah.

So, competition's over.

And neither of us won.

You shouldn't have stopped for me.

But you did.

So does that mean that you love me?

(somber music)

I can't leave Drovers.

Claire's the only person that
has ever given me a chance.

She wouldn't expect you
to stick around forever.

It's your turn now.

Becky Howard, I shouldn't have trusted her.

Fair though Harry,
she slept all night in the ute

in case they came back.

That scholarship meant everything to her,

but doing her job properly meant more.

You found the guilty party yet?

Come off it Sandra,

I know you only went to
Wellville last night for an alibi.

You accusing Sandra of being involved?

Well I can't think of
anyone else who'd benefit.

I warned you about
making false accusations.

Keep going and I will think about suing.

I don't think we need to go that far.

King Harold's okay, that's the main thing.

Trust you'll continue to ensure his safety.

Well, you've got my word.

I think I'm owed an apology.

Sorry.

Claire's just out to get me as usual.

Well if it was you,
it makes a bloke stop and think.

Whatever the bloke's thinking, he's wrong.

King Harold cost me a fortune,

you know they'd have to be crazy

or really hellbent on revenge.

I'm not crazy.

I mean I've never had
anyone go to those lengths

over me before, shows a lot of passion.

So you're saying that if I had done it,

that you would find that...

Pretty powerful way of saying

I mean a lot more to you than I realized.

You know how I feel.

Well if what Claire says is true,

I wouldn't be in any doubt, would I?

None whatsoever.

All done.

It's amazing how many pages you can write

on one line of Shakespeare, isn't it?

Well they don't call
him a genius for nothing.

Is that the book you're working on?

Can't wait to read it.

Oh, it's just an essay for a collection.

Meg.

Gordon.

Mr. Vidmar,
I'm in a very stable happy relationship.

Well how very nice for you.

So there'll be no romance.

I don't know what gave
you any idea there would be.

You looked at my mouth.

Oh, you have a piece of parsley in your...

And whilst you're a very
attractive woman Ms. Fountain,

I'm afraid we don't play for the same team.

Oh.

Oh!

(cheerful music)

So what do you think mom?

All right.

You look great.

Oh, so do you.

It looks like Sandra's
gonna get away with it.

She's got a water-tight alibi,

and without any other leads.

So does Harry want the bull back?

No, he's very happy for your to continue

with the breeding program.

Actually Claire, that's what

I wanted to talk to you about.

Yeah?

See, Jake's leased his own property

about 200 Ks out of Fisher,

and he really wants me to move in with him.

When?

Pretty much straight away.

I don't wanna leave you in the lurch.

I can just say no.

Do you love him?

Yeah.

Well that's all that matters.

(somber music)

(upbeat music)

Can't believe she's leaving.

I haven't seen her this
happy in a long time.

Talking of looking sickeningly happy.

You're kidding.

I thought Sandra tried to...

Well some men like ballsy women.

Unbelievable.

Meg, look I just wanted to say,

look I might not have letters
after my name or anything.

Don't worry Terry, Gordon's gay.

Well I never thought he
was after you or anything.

Look, I uh.

I know Sandra was only there
because she needed an alibi.

If you don't trust me now,
you never will Claire.

I was wrong.

Sorry, I didn't quite hear that.

All right.

I was wrong!

Everyone got that?

Claire McLoed got it wrong.

I should've trusted you.

I'm sorry.

(cheers)

Delivered the trophy,
no one seemed to notice anything.

Oh, good.

Couldn't find the old one though.

Someone sees it, we're busted.

Ah that reminds me.

Read it.

Trophies Evright Engraving.

No, no, no, the other side.

Of course.

Award for best taking a girls
mind of ex's and hospitals.

It's no public speaking award, but...

It's better.

So you wanna give me a hand with these?

Yep.

After you.

So without further ado, the winner tonight,

who goes on to the
nationals is Ruth Davies.

(applause)

Speech!

Well done Ruth.

Thanks guys.

(applause)

Now I'd just like to announce

that this year for the first time,

we're presenting an
award for Best and Fairest.

This competitor put the safety of others

before the desire to win.

She also went above and
beyond in regards to a certain bull.

(crowd laughs)

The inaugural award goes to Becky Howard.

(upbeat music)

(cheers)

It's a one-year scholarship to
Higgins Agricultural College.

Generously donated by Harry Ryan.

(applause)

It's a good thing.

Yeah and it's only for a year.

Well, it's better than three years I guess.

And it's only a day's drive
away from your property.

Oh, who am I kidding,
I don't belong at some stuffy college.

I've never studied,
I don't even know how to study.

I never picked you as a quitter.

Do you want me to go?

No, I want you to come live with me

and win the breeding
program with Storm Cloud,

but if you don't go and it's because of me,

well how long before you resent me for it?

No, that would never happen.

Well, do you wanna go?

Yeah.

Well, then I guess I'm going
to be doing a lot of driving.

(somber music)

You know,
the term doesn't start for another month,

I don't see why you have
to leave straight away.

I know, but I promised Jake that

I'd spend some time with him beforehand.

We'll still be friends.

I know.

You'll ring for the first few days

and tell me how wonderful it all is,

and then you'll write once a week,

and once a week will become once a month,

and once a month will become once a year,

and eventually I'll just
become some dim memory.

The girl who you lived
next door to for a while.

You are the best friend that
anybody could ever have.

And without you,
I don't know what I would've done.

I am really happy for you.

Thank you.

(somber music)

I'm gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you too.

Hey, you be good for your mom,

like you had made a deal with.

Yeah, you will.

Come on darling.

This is something to remember us by.

I can't, it's too much.

No it's for books and stationary.

Light bulbs,
you know lots of nights studying.

Thanks.

I'll be going.

Got some cold chicken and
potato salad for you, if you...

Thanks.

I know we haven't always...

You don't need...

I'm very proud of you.

(somber music)

Thanks for everything.

You gave me a chance
when no one else would.

Well I reckon I got the
better end of the deal.

You promise to write?

Yeah, now that I can.

You gonna come and visit?

You gonna go, or what?

Tell me what's the matter?

I think that he's lying on and I don't.

I choose...

I'd like to know what you

and Jodi were up to last night.

Why don't you ask Jodi?

I'm asking you.

None of your business.

If you wanna borrow the ute one night,

go into town for an evening class...

Does does this mean that I'm not...

You're not fired.

Thanks Claire.

I won't let you down again, I promise.
