All language subtitles for McLeods.Daughters.S04E28 - My House Is Your House.en

Previously on McLeod's Daughters.

You're a really nice girl.

Nice girl.

And I think it's good that,
you know, we're mates.

Yeah, absolutely.

I couldn't agree more, you bet.

You just don't get women, do you?

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.

Missus away, is she?

Sandra's staying with her sister.

She'll be a while or longer.

We had something, didn't we?

But it's over now.

I'm sorry.

Nick.

Nick!

Ah, wow!

Oh, this is beautiful.

Beautiful room for the bride and groom.

I guess there's only one
thing left to do then, come on.

What?

Woo. (Laughs)

(Nick chuckles)

(Tess laughs)

Come on, Nick,
come and shower and come to bed.

Yeah, almost done.

You've moved everything.

So, I can do all the Killarney
paperwork from here.

I'd rather be with you than
spend all my time over there.

Ah, but where's all my stuff?

My filing cabinet, the printer?

Yeah I've networked you to mine.

That's a fax and copier as well,

and the old filing
cabinet's in the sunroom.

Couldn't fit, sorry.

Oh,
especially now you've unpacked all those.

Oh, I guess they could go somewhere else.

No, no, no, it's your house too now.

(gentle guitar music)
(water running)

We've really gotta get some new towels,
Tess.

No, they help zhuzh up the bathroom.

Should have put some on the gift list

instead of all the salad
servers we ended up with.

Uh-huh.

27.

What's that?

Nothing.

Tess,
is it all right if I borrow some hot water?

Yeah, all yours in a minute.

Hot water gone again?

Yeah, I reckon it's time for a new one.

Oh, did I tell you Mervyn confirmed

day after tomorrow about the horse's teeth.

(Stevie gasps)

Oh God, so sorry, Nick.

Oh Stevie, not again.

I'm sorry.

You better stop doing this, Stevie.

People will start to talk.

Oh, I just can't get used to it.

Men on Drovers Run.

Never be the same again, eh?

(Tess gasps)

Oh, Nick!

Run, Alex.

(Tess sighs)

Nothing.

Nick,
this tin kettling thing is driving me nuts.

Yeah, we should get it over with.

Okay, so Alex comes here with some mates,

banging pots and pans when we're in bed.

What is the point?

It's a Ryan family tradition.

You're not really married
until you've been tin kettled.

Well, some tradition,
it's a wonder any of you kids.

We certainly won't at this rate.

You want Alex walking in on us?

'Cause that's what's gonna happen.

He's gonna show up one night,

and we're gonna be ready for him, Tess.

But this isn't how I thought
married life would be,

lying in bed waiting for my
brother-in-law to pounce.

It won't be forever.

(Tess sighs)

Now.

(gentle music)

(Nick sighs)

Once is an accident,
Stevie, but three times?

Oh, if I really want to pervert,

I couldn't get caught at it.

Why does it sound like
you've said that before?

You never looked at a guy?

Well, there's a difference
between looking and perving.

I just saw Nick for half a second.

It's okay, Stevie, Nick's cute.

I had a crush on him too once, you know.

I didn't have a crush on him.

Hey, forget the looks.

Think of him as a live-in farming expert.

Yeah, who can't put the toilet seat down.

Who's winning sweepstakes?

The seat has been left
up 27 times since Saturday.

Hey, I hope he doesn't find out about this

because then he'll never give us advice.

Advice about what?

Well, about farming.

It's great.

Anything we don't know about now,
we can just go...

Fix it ourselves, like we always have.

We're not suddenly helpless females

just because there's a man in the house.

Yeah, but he offered to help,

I think it would be really rude to refuse.

Now, there will be no hanging
around looking pathetic.

That's an order.

You know, hey, listen to me.

We got this pool comp all sewn up.

Yeah, yeah, we're gonna
whip your bony little backsides.

That's right, you put that in
your pipe and smoke it, mate.

Yeah, right-o, right-o.

Hey, sis.

What's up?

What are you doing?

Waiting for this man.

That's the report on Short Horns.

Harry wants you to have a look at it

before the Farmer's Council meeting.

Leave it with me.

Seeing as you're here,

I want a word with you about
this stupid tin kettling thing.

I know you think it's a joke...

Do you want your surprise or not, Tess?

It's from the Gondia bloodline.

He's certified organic.

He must have cost you a fortune.

Yeah, well, I only get to give my wife

a wedding present once, Stevie?

He's my wedding present?

Yeah.

(gentle music)

Thank you, Nick.

I love him.

Yeah?
Yeah!

Nick, Nick.

Save your energies for
the pool comp tonight.

Hey, those blokes from Fischer

won't know what hit 'em, right?

That trophy's got our
name on it! (Nick grunts)

Uh, I might take the rain check.

Nick, it's the finals.

Well, it's okay, go.

Oh, where would I rather be,

at a smelly pub with a bunch of blokes

or at home with my beautiful wife?

Well, that seems rather obvious to me.

Well, Stevie'll give you a hand

if you can't win it yourself.

Yeah, no problem.

What are we gonna call him anyway?

Sir Ryan the First.

I reckon Colonel McLeod fits him better.

Well,
the sooner we get him in with the ewes,

the sooner we can start
that breeding program.

Ah.

Well, he'll need a day or two in quarantine

just in case he's carrying something.

No need this time, Stevie.

Okay, right, well, when do you want to talk

about a schedule for the joining?

Well, Tess and I can do that

over dinner tonight, if you like?

Yeah.

Uh, yeah, sure.

Leave you to it then.

Hey,
what about Colonel Ryan McLeod the First?

Perfect.

Need a hand?

No, no, I'm all right.

What's the point in having a bloke around

if you can't take advantage?

Well, Dave is coming for the gelding,

so I'm meant to be helping him.

What's this all for anyway?

Oh, we need a fence to keep
the horse out of the creek.

You might want to use plain wire.

It makes for a neater job.

Ah, well, Stevie gave me this to use.

Maybe you've run out.

I've got some in the back of the ute.

(Nick groans)

Well, we'll pay you for it.

Kidding, aren't ya?

Hey, if Stevie asks,

I wasn't deliberately looking pathetic,
right?

Yeah, all right.

(mellow music)

Hey.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I got the day off.

Thought we could go hit the dirt bike track

down at Hangman's Creek,
then sink a few at the pub.

Right, one problem.
No, no, no, I thought of it.

Got a mate you can borrow a bike from.

Oh, Luke, you didn't stop to think

that maybe I might be working today.

Well, that's why I'm here now.

I'll give you a hand,
we'll be done in no time.

Right, well,
I have two dozen bales of hay to stack,

then I have to bring
the colt in for gelding,

and then all the horses
have to get their teeth done.

So, let's get on with it.

I thought you're here to help.

I am, I am.

Jodi!

(tense music)

You never leave a
tractor running like that.

It can jump into gear and take off.

You could have been hit.

No, no, it's my fault actually.

I told her to keep it running.

She reckon there might
be a rattle in the engine.

It could be the bearings in the water pump.

I could've taken a look at that.

You didn't have to drag
Luke all the way out here.

Well, I was passing anyway.

Yeah, you know, and Stevie said

it really wouldn't be fair to hassle you,
so.

It's not a problem, anytime, okay?

Okay.

Oh, man,
this is gonna go straight back to Tess.

Come on, we're not doing anything wrong.

That's not what Nick thinks.

You've changed, eh?

I've got a wife, mate.

You thought that wouldn't
make a difference?

Well, not to everything.

Listen, come here.

What's it like?

Bloody fantastic.

Yeah, I bet it is.

The only bloke surrounded
by all those women?

Nah, I wasn't talking about that.

Do you know that they have low-fat milk

and make up everywhere?

And they've got separate
creams for their eyes,

their lips, and their neck?

You're joking.

That's why they look so good.

Poor bugger is over
here every five minutes.

Sandra is still staying at her sister's,
eh?

Sandra doesn't have a sister, mate.

So that could be a while.

Ah.

Bet this is another dinner invite then.

Yeah.

You boys wanna come
over for dinner tonight?

Busy here with
Sorry, Harry,

Tess, Dad, sorry.
Pool comp.

Listen, I hear Merve Richards

is gonna be Drovers tomorrow.

Any chance you could
squeeze in one of my colts?

Why don't you get him out here?

Well, for one horse,
it's not worth the trouble.

No, nah,
I guess not since you jumped on a chair

and told him he'd never
set foot on Killarney again.

In every motion I've put forward

at the Farmer's Council, he opposes.

It's obvious he wants to
get rid of me as Chairman.

There's no way I'm gonna
give him my business.

Well,
he's the only equine dentist in the area.

Well,
it doesn't mean I have to deal with him.

So, you gonna take the colt or not?

Oh, I should run it by Tess first then.

Come on, we're all family now,
she won't mind.

All right.

I'll bring him over later.

(Nick chuckles)

Hey, what happened to the ringlock?

Uh, Nick said plain wire would be better.

Nick?

Look, it's not what you're thinking.

I didn't say anything.

He just came straight
up and offered it to me.

Didn't even want to be paid.

Well, did he also mention
that it takes longer to set up,

and it isn't necessary for temporary fence?

Well, maybe if you'd said it was temporary.

Well, I thought that was obvious.

Look, I'm sure Nick is just trying

to pass on good farming practices.

Well, the best farming practice

would be to listen to your overseer.

You'll have to start again.

(Kate sighs)

Great.

(machine beeps)

(phone ringing)

Hello, Drovers Run.

Uh, no, Nick's not here.

No, I'm not his assistant.

Yes, his wife.

Yeah, yep.

Yeah, I'll tell Nick.

All right, thank you.

Bye.

(sighs) Okay.

I stacked all the bales,

and I brought the colt in for gelding,

which I reckon is pretty
good for a morning's work.

Yeah, me too.

Yeah, so if Nick says anything about Luke,

there really was a rattle
in the tractor engine,

and we weren't just mucking around, okay?

Has he been checking up on you too?

Why, what else has he done?

Well,
he got Kate to put the wrong fencing in.

Well,
I'm sure he was just trying to be helpful.

I know, but I can't do my job

if he's gonna keep contradicting me.

And I can't do mine if I
think he's spying on me.

No, of course not.

So, maybe we should lay some ground rules

about who's boss?

Sure, I'll have a word with
him when he gets back.

You're right, I'll go find him,
and I'll do it now.

Christ.

Hey,
I was just about to come looking for you.

Miss me already?

Uh, yeah, but there's something

that we need to talk about.

Good day, Mrs. Ryan.

We're opposed to the motion

on the grounds it's a
bloody great white elephant.

Thank you, Miss Tess, much appreciated.

We can't let the infrastructure get a puck

if you'd had more than a postage stamp...

Is this some kind of warmup
for the tin kettling thing?

No, I left three messages on the machine

about changing the
Farmer's Council meeting.

Well, I didn't listen,
I just assumed they'd be for you.

Oh right, well, Neil's wife's sick,

and Harry doesn't want anyone in Killarney

asking about Sandra, so I brought it here.

If that's okay?

Sure, it's your house too now.

Hey.

(tense music)

All right, Star, look after Spirit, okay?

And explain that it's
not the end of the world

losing your bits.

You reckon? If I was him,
I'd be jumping the fence

and running for my life.

Put this away.

I'll be back as soon as I can.
Hey, I'm not coming with ya?

Luke,
I've got to master half a dozen horses

in from Jack's Folly.

And the idea was for me to help you,

so we can get out of here.

Come on,
my day off is not gonna last forever.

Luke, you can't ride.

Hey,
if it's the one thing that's stopping us

getting on those dirt bikes, then trust me,

I'll be brilliant at it.

Ah, trust me, you won't.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

(Jodi clicking tongue)

Come on.
(horse neighs)

So, what are we gonna feed 'em?

I know Neil's wife usually makes scones.

Biscuits?

Voila.

Instant coffee or real?

Just give 'em instant.

They're not gonna stay much longer.

You don't have to be here.

I can vote on behalf of Drovers.

I know what's good for the place.

Uh, yeah, Nick, about that.

You know when you have a working dog

herding sheep in one direction

and then another dog comes along

and starts herding them the other way?

Mm.
The sheep get confused.

Right, you're having problems
with Roy and Turbo, are ya?

Not exactly, no.

You know the expression, mi casa, su casa?

Mi what?

Well, it's Spanish.

It means my house is your house.

Well, they don't have an expression

for my farm is your farm,

and there's a good reason for that.

Oh, okay, so Jodi's upset

I told her off about the tractor.

Well, no, it's not just Jodi.

(sullen music)

You see, we have a certain way

of doing things around here and,

well, it's not that I don't really

value your opinions and everything,
but it might just be

easier.-

If I keep them to myself?

Well, you know what they say,
Too many cooks and all that,

and you're so busy with Killarney and...

I understand, Tess.

You sure?

Nick's buy is cherry.

He can take over from here.

Thanks again, Tess.

What's going on, Dad?

Harry's taking us back, and he's going home

'cause he got out voted on
a push to do up Kelly's Road.

(Nick sighs)

Only person to benefit is you.

(sullen music)

Five days' ride past Killarney.

We're just sick of you using
your position as Chairman

to push your own agenda?

Come on, Merve.

Look, I know you want the job.

Why you don't just put it to the members,

see what they think?

Oh, what's the point?

You'll buy votes, like you always do.

I'd be very careful what I said next,
if I were you.

Smug bastard.

He knows he'd never get the numbers.

Okay, I'm gonna pick up the colt,
come back.

He'll never know he's doing mine for free.

So, he's a useful smug bastard then?

Is that Luke from the truck stop?

Yeah.

Maybe he's better with cars

than he is with horses.

Yeah, well,
I've been told to stay out of it.

You're sure your wife's not
gonna let you off the hook

to have dinner with your dad?

Yeah, not tonight, Dad.

You gotta let her know who's boss, Nick.

Oh, I can see that's worked
a treat with Sandra, Dad.

See ya.

(tense music)

(horse neighs)

(horse neighs)

(horse neighs)

Thanks, gents.

Thanks for the coffee and biscuits, Tess.

Yeah, and Nick, Missus has done you proud.

So, what's happening about lobbying

for the Native Florist subsidy?

Oh, well,
no one's nominated for the subcommittee,

so we'll just defer it, eh?

Well, I wouldn't mind being on it.

Nah,
you don't have to worry about that now.

You have Nick to look after things.

Well, this Missus likes

to take care of things for herself.

Well, you'll be too busy.

When can we expect the
pitter-patter of little feet?

I'll still be running Drovers,
pitter-patter or not.

Eh, Missus does the books for me too.

We're lucky blokes.

And you get those horses
ready for me tomorrow.

Oh, Tess is in charge, mate.
But you live here, don't ya?

I'll see ya tomorrow.

Take it easy, thanks.

Nick...

Lots to do, gotta go.

(sullen music)

No, no, I'll clean up.

(sheep bleating)

Hey.

Just sorting the ewes for
their big date with the Colonel.

Well, make sure she doesn't bleat at him

to pull his head in.

You know how touchy rams can get.

Ah, I got you guys arguing.

I knew I shouldn't have
mouthed off about Nick.

No, no, it's not your fault.

You got to be able to do your job.

I knew things would
changed when Nick moved in.

I just didn't expect to feel so...

Invaded?

I can't find anything in my own office.

The phone keeps ringing for him.

Our love life is stuffed

'cause Alex could walk in at any moment

with a pot and pan brigade.

(chuckles) Toilet seat
sweepstakes has hit 30.

How did we get from
100% compatibility to this?

Think it's called real life.

Well, I knew it wouldn't all
be hearts and roses forever.

Yeah, well, that's what you tell yourself,

but it's still a shock when you see the guy

that you're madly in
love with clip his toenails

or throw his undies on the floor.

I just need to give both of
us time to adjust, don't I?

Yeah, well, don't ask me.

Jared and I didn't even last a week

once he got off that oil rig.

(gentle music)

But you and Nick have a
lot more going for you guys

than Jared and I ever did.

You guys will be fine.

(Jodi mimicking air whooshing)

(horses neighing)

(groans) Luke.

Come on.

Luke!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. (Laughs)

What do you think you're doing?

Proving I can ride as well as I can kiss.

Yeah, and you could have been killed.

Nah, I've survived a lot worst, believe me.

I think I know what I'm doing.

Right,
so that's why you left the gate open.

Nah, I shut the gate.

Then what's he doing here?

He's about to be gelded.

He's supposed to be calm,
not all worked up.

Admit it.

It's me you're worried about,
not the horse.

Now, I have to take him back to the yard

and come back for all the other horses.

So much for your day off.

You've just made mine twice as long.

(low guitar music)

Merve will never know.

(mellow music)

Guess this means we're
gonna have to break up.

What?

Well,
you obviously want a guy who's doormat.

He just does as he's told,
let's you do all the hard yacka.

(Jodi sighs) You know,
I thought you wanted a guy

who was exciting, took risks,
but obviously, I'm wrong,

so when we get back,
that's it for us, right?

Well,
maybe I could give you another chance.

Sweet, we've got a team of
gorgeous assistants today.

You can tell me all about the honeymoon.

Well, not every, of course,
I don't want to know about the...

Well, I've got some bookwork to do,

that is if I can find it.

You okay?

Sure.

Well, you're not blushing.

Why, should I be?

Yeah, brides are meant to.

I don't really know why, do you?

Maybe it's because they've just discovered

their husbands embarrassing habits

and he picks his nose, right?

Kate!

You gonna bring that colt in?

Sure, sure.

Dave, you need me to stick around?

Uh, no, we'll be all right, cheers.

Hey, there's always the drive-in tonight.

Or we could go camping
on the weekend by the dam.

We could go for a swim at sunset,

play music, cook fresh Dampa.

I could rescue you from that
snake in your sleeping bag.

Oh,
and how do you know that's gonna happen?

Ah, you'll just have to come
and share my sleeping bag.

You've really thought this through,
haven't you?

I always think about you, Jods.

Oh, he seems fine now.

You got a nurse man Friday,
your first gelding.

Oh, it wasn't that bad?

Tell that to the horse.

Hey, you'll need to keep an
eye on him for a few days, okay?

Leave the wound open to drying.

What's this?

The colt.

We just gelded him.

Snippy-snip.

No, no, no,
this is the colt we have to geld.

What?
What do you mean?

We only have one colt, Jodi.

Yeah, and this is him!

So, where did this one come from?

(tense music)

Belongs to Killarney.

(Jodie sighs)

This isn't just incompetence.

It's extreme bloody negligence.

How could you make such a mistake?

He was the only colt in the yard.

Any vet worth his soul
woulda checked the brand first.

Look, Mr. Ryan, it's my fault.

I brought the horse to Dave.

I told her to bring him in.

Actually, it was my boyfriend

who let him out of the yard, so.

Well, what was Luke
doing here in the first place?

He was trying to help me.
Help, you call this help?

Look, I don't care who did what.

I'm the one who has to bloody pay for it.

My lawyers'll be in touch, Brewer.

Harry, please!

There must be some other
way we can work things out.

Do you know what that colt was worth?

The stud fees he would have brought in?

I'm down thousands of dollars here, Tess.

Well, maybe you should have
told someone you left him here.

I did tell someone.

Your husband.

(sullen music)

(Tess sighs)

If Luke is gonna be hanging
out here on his days off...

Well,
he's certainly not hanging out right now.

Then he has to keep out of the way, Jodi.

Don't worry, he's already a dead man.

Dave.

I should never have
put you in that position.

Don't be silly.

You weren't to know.
But I should have known.

I should have checked the
brand before I brought him to you.

This is my responsibility, Kate, okay?

Not yours.

Well, I've got a plan.

I'm gonna talk to Harry.

I'm gonna sign an affidavit
saying it was all my fault.

That way he won't be able to sue you.

This will blow over.

Okay, trust me.

There's no need to be signing affidavits.

(solemn music)

Are you sure?

Because if it'll help...

You can help me tomorrow.

We've still got another colt to geld.

Well, I'll make sure

there aren't any stray horses in the yards.

Thanks.

I'm stuffed.

Tess, if Harry's serious,
this could finish me.

Harry's hardheaded,
but he's not completely unreasonable.

If I talk to him...

Being a vet isn't just a job to me,
you know?

It's all I am.

You let me deal with Harry.

There's gotta be some advantage
to being related to the man.

Yeah.

(dog barking)

Hey!

Luke?

You can't hide, Luke Morgan!

Oh, come on, I saw your bike out the front.

Hey.

Jodi, sorry, I didn't see you back there.

Dave Brewer could lose his practice.

Kate's ready to slit her wrists,

and Tess is mad with all of us.

Horse must be pretty pissed off too, huh?

Don't joke.

Oh, Jodi.
This is your fault.

Jodi, it was a bit of bad luck.

This is your fault, and what,
then, you just run away?

Well, there's nothing I could have done.

You could have stayed with me, Luke.

'Cause that's what friends do, isn't it?

They hang around when life gets shitty.

I'm sorry.

I didn't have a clue you were like this.

But I guess I'm getting to
know you better now, aren't I?

Jodi, come on.

Now, don't try the cute smile thing on me,
all right?

Just leave it.

I cannot believe this.

But why didn't you tell me

Harry was dropping the colt off?

I wasn't here.

Well, you could have left a message.

Well, you hardly check 'em anyway,
remember?

Well, none of this would have happened

if you had've talked to me first.

Nick, you have to speak to Harry.

If he sues Dave,
then his career could be over.

Come on, now, Dave should have known

it was the wrong horse, Tess.

Oh, what, so you're taking Harry's side?

Oh, come off it, this is not about sides.

Dave's insurance will pay for it.

It's just business.

Are you sure you would be
saying this if it wasn't Dave?

Are you sure you'd be defending him so hard

if it wasn't Dave?

Oh, don't be crazy.

Dave is a mate.

How many times has he helped us out?

(sullen music)

I should have known something
was up when Luke took off.

Well, why didn't you stop him?

Well,
I didn't know the colt was gonna follow.

Anyway, you told me stay out of it, Tess.

Yeah, I didn't ask you to
put your brain in neutral.

Thanks, yeah, all right.

See, I can't win with you.

One minute I'm saying too much,
the next is not enough.

Yeah, and one minute I am your secretary,

the next time your housekeeper.

You know, I'm too scared to say anything

'cause I don't know how you're gonna react!

Well, how do you expect me to react?

I'm walking around on
eggshells trying to please you.

I feel like a boarder in my own house.

Hey, Nick.

So, you're up for the pool comp after all,
are ya?

I accidentally packed this.

I've been meaning to give it back.

All right,
I'll call off the private detective then.

Eh, you look like you could
do with a game of pool.

(Alex sighs)

What is wrong with the woman?

She told me to butt out of it,

and that's exactly what I did.

Well, you're getting too hung
up on an unhung horse, Nick.

I could've stopped Luke,
none of this would happen.

But she told me to stay out.
You did right, yeah.

It's not your fault at all.

But where's being right getting ya, huh?

Except for back here.

I really like what you've
done with the place

since I've moved out.

Well, since I got me bottle opener back,

you wanna hear my advice on women?

(Nick chuckles)

It's never helped before.

Well, a wise man once told me,

"Agree with everything they say.

"If in doubt, just apologize,
even if you're not wrong."

Mm, so you do listen when I talk then?

Only when you talk sense, mate?

And that doesn't happen often.

A difference of opinion

isn't always a bad thing in a marriage.

Yeah, but you said it only lasted a week

with Jared at home.

Was that a difference of opinion?

Well, yeah, but before that,

there were a lot of little fights

that helped spice up the relationship.

Ours doesn't feel spiced.

It feels minced.

Well, it'll be better in the morning.

Everything always looks
different in the morning.

What am I gonna do about Dave?

You get your husband to call off the dogs.

(sullen music)

Dave's saying all the right things.

"It's not your fault, Kate.

"It's no big deal, Kate."

Dave's a survivor, you should relax.

But it's all a line.

I know him well enough to know he's scared,

and I'm to blame.

You're only partly to blame.

Thanks.

I blame Luke mostly.

How do you know that about Dave?

Spinning a line, I mean, how can you tell?

It's just who he is.

Dave likes people to feel good.

He goes out of his way
to make things better.

(sullen music)

Well, what can you tell about Luke

because I don't have a clue.

Oh, Luke is in love with a gorgeous blonde.

That's hard to see past.

Kate.

I guess, he's scared too.

Like Dave?

No.

I reckon Luke's a little
bit scared all the time.

Like if he sets a foot wrong,

the whole world falls in, you know?

Can we get back to the part
about the gorgeous blonde?

That was much easier.

Tess, you home?

(Nick sighs)

Hey.
Hey.

You've been doing the driving around thing.

Yeah, to be with Alex.

He skipped the pool comp.

Might even wash up instead.

I've been washing up too.

I should have talked first.
I shouldn't have said those.

That was our first fight
as husband and wife,

and I can't say I liked it.

Well, there's a first for everything.

That's how traditions start.

What, like tin kettling?

Yeah.

Well, we should be safe tonight.

Alex isn't in the mood.

Why don't we start our own tradition?

Less fighting, more talking.

Yeah, the first thing we need to do

has nothing to do with talk, eh?

(tense music)

Nick, you might not want to hear this,

but it has to be said.

Uh, Stevie...

We can't sit back and
watch you ruin Dave's career

just because you're too proud
to admit your father is wrong.

Yeah,
Dave's done nothing to deserve a lawsuit.

All he did was his job,
and if you can't see that,

then you're not the demigod
of kindness and knowledge

that I thought you were.

You think I'm a demigod?

I used to, in a Greek flawed kind of way.

Okay,
anyone got anything else they want to say?

No, that just about covers it.

Well, Nick and I have talked.

Eventually.

And we've thought of a way

that might get Harry off Dave's back.

(light music)

Oh, good.

He's a beautiful ram, Dad,

with his best breeding years ahead of him.

Been bred to produce bright, soft wool

unique to his bloodline.

Has be been micron tested?

Nine to 10 micron, top of his class,

and he's a really good listener.

Your ewes will love him.

What'd you pay for him?
I'll show you the receipt.

He more than matches your colt.

So, why get rid of the prize ram?

Because Dave is a good mate,

and the accident wasn't just his fault.

We all stuffed up.

Come on, Harry, do us a favor?

We're all family now.

No.

No, in the long run,

the returns won't match the colt at all.

Sorry.

I'll let out my horse,
get out of your hair.

(Tess sighs)

Well, let's get you home, you poor bastard.

Always good to see you, Harry.

Merve.

Dropped one of your nags off.

Want me to have a look at him, eh?

I've told you what I
think of your abilities.

I'm one of the best
equine dentist in 300 Ks.

Harry, you can't afford to ban me, can ya?

Sneaky bastard.

You could be the only
horse dentist in the country,

I still wouldn't let my animals near you.

Relax, Harry, I'll squeeze him in,
but It'll cost ya?

It's not my horse, all right.

I'm here to pick up a ram.

Hey, Merve.

Hey.
I'll take the Colonel now,

just load him up when you're ready.

All right?

(horse neighs)

I'll leave you to hacking and sawing.

You must need the work, eh?

Whatever, Harry.

Do you always pick up rams
in a horse float, by the way?

(Merve laughing)

(Kate laughing)

Good day.

It's good to see you too.

This is a good day, a really good day.

I'll go get our colt ready,
the right one this time, yes.

Yes.

Harry.

Haven't heard from your lawyers yet.

No, you won't.

Let's forget the whole thing.

Sorry, what?

Look, it's bad business all around.

Mistakes on all sides.

You learned something from it, didn't ya?

Yes, yes,
I'm learning new things every day.

We'll move on then.

Harry, wait.

So, I suppose you won't want me

to set foot in Killarney again.

You're normally a good vet, Brewer.

I'm not gonna ban you just out of spite.

Yeah, but you're out of pocket...

Well, that's not so bad.

We worked out a trade-off.

Look, I'm glad Dave's in the clear,

but I gotta say, this really sucks.

It's the best we can make of it.

I'll still get to see him at Killarney,

and the Colonel can still visit our ewes.

Yeah, for a price.

No offense, Nick,
I know he's your dad and all,

but I hate giving Harry a big,
fat, furry kick like this.

Well, if it means saving Dave's career,

then I'm happy to do it.

Have you all gone nuts?

I'd rather wrestle with Harry's lawyers

than put up with this.

Oh, a simple thank you
when you get a chance, mate.

Yeah, no, thanks, of course.

Thanks, Tess, but no thanks.

You can't give him your wedding present.

Yeah, that's what I reckon.

Well, it's a done deal,
so stop going on about it

before I change my mind.

Hang on, just think about it, okay?

You've worked your ass
off getting to organic status.

And the Colonel is part of that.

You've already paid a huge premium

just getting an organic ram.

This is true.

Be wasted at Killarney.

Well, it will.

(tense music)

Well, he's a fine looking animal.

You got a good eye, Nick.

We were thinking, Harry.

There could be a really good reason

for you not to take the Colonel with you.

Oh, yeah, why's that?

Money, usual stuff.

Look, he cost a fortune,

partly because he's certified organic,
right?

So, the value of his progeny

depends upon him staying organic, Dad.

But if he goes to live in Killarney,

then he loses his organic status.

Lot of money down the drains, big bucks.

Well, I might have to wear it.

Or you could adjust him here,

and protect his value in the long run.

We could do a deal and adjustment fees.

Oh, really?

Yeah, well, there'd be a charge

for a new enclosure,
of course, and vet bills.

But I reckon if you let
him service our ewes

while he's here,
we could just about call it even.

Come on, Dad, it's a fair deal.

(tense music)

Well, I must say I did have a few qualms

about driving off with
your wedding present.

It's a deal.

I must be going soft.

Easy.

Ah.

(tractor engine rumbling)

I remember saying something

about leaving tractors running unattended,
Jodi.

Well, this isn't me, Nick.

This is weird.

Hey.

Yeah, it's what I thought.

It's the bearings in the water pump.

Sounds better, eh?

Did you clear this with Tess?

Yeah, yeah,
Jodi's got nothing to do with it.

Okay, fair enough.

Hey, I'll have a look at
that ute too in the murk.

Give him a free service.

Okay.

Kate's car's blowing a bit of smoke.

(light music)

Okay, okay, if you must have a roster

then I'll cook on Tuesday,
as long as it's a barbecue night.

Deal, and I promise to leave you more space

in the bathroom cupboard,

if you speak to me about
any big decisions you make.

That sounds like a fair trade.

Here's to us being more
open with each other.

And sharing the dinner.

No, no, no,
I heard it was five centimeters.

Nah, it's eight centimeters at least.

Hang on a sec, that is totally unfair.

Eight centimeters?

Pfft, that's a major understatement,
by the way.

Actually, we were just talking

about how deep to sow our seed.

But thank you for bring Kate up to date

with the vital stats.

(all chuckling)

All right, kiddywinks,
who's up for a video?

Let me guess, Raging Road Bucks.

Men, Machines, and Mayhem.

Give me that.

Journey to the Heart:

One woman's tale of strength and survival.

I like how you brought us a tearjerker.

Hey, listen, Stevie, I'm sensitive enough

to go for a certified chick flick.

Besides all the Terminator films were gone.

So, who's in?

Uh, actually, I've already seen it.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna sit this one out.

Sorry, Nick and I have other plans.

Yeah.

Right, so you letting

the Missus speak for you now, are ya?

Well, a wise man recently reminded me

that the key to a good
marriage is to agree with the wife.

That's good advice, that.

Thank you.

Nice.

All right, see yas later.

See ya, Alex.

Have fun.

(light music)

What are you still doing here, Dave?

I just gelded another colt.

Well, you sure you got the
right one this time, mate?

I might've better, eh?

After that last few days,

if I never touch a horse's testicles again,

it'll be too soon.

Well, Harry can be a stubborn bugger,

but he usually knows
when he's in the wrong.

Yeah,
he just likes to back out with dignity.

Like the Queen Mary leaving port, 'eroo.

Hey, listen.

You into a pizza and a crappy girl's movie?

Journey to the,

Journey to the Heart,
I've been dying to see this!

Really?

Yeah, mate, 90 minutes of
hot babes in nurses' uniforms,

I call that a good film.

Hey, listen.

You ever heard of tin kettling?

When was this roster done?

And how did I score this many wash ups?

Rosters are good,
everyone knows where they stand.

What am I asking you for?

You have a roster for
changing your underpants.

You're going through my stuff?

Oi, you two.

See, back way, I said.

We're just going for a bit
of a late night supper thing.

Oh, that's nice for some.

Could be a while.

Oh, Tess, the sweep.

Ah, yeah, 37, everyone.

Final count.

Oh, that's me.

Bugger.
Yes, pay the winner.

What's this all about?

It's a girl thing involving toilet seats.

Oh, yeah, been meaning to ask,

do you mind putting the
seat up now and then?

Just as a favor for me.

(Jodi scoffs)

Oh!

Hey, cars are all repaired, no worries.

Oh, you're a doll, thanks.

Ah, well, yep, that's me.

Goodnight all.

Yeah, I'm gonna walk you down.

(gentle music)

I said I'm sorry.

Okay, did I leave my toothbrush here?

Do you want it back?
No.

Well,
I might keep it for a little while then?

Listen,
I learned to fight and I learned to run,

and they're good skills to have,

but they're no good when
you're stuck on someone.

You want to keep it that way.

Well, there you go.

And I thought you were perfect.

So, it's a bit late for the pub.

It's a bit dark for dirt bikes.

Mm.

Follow me.

Come on.

What are you doing?

Ta-da.

Are you nuts?

This is Nick and Tess's bedroom.

Are you chicken?

I'm getting out of here right now.

Come on, relax, relax, relax.

Tess and Nick are on a picnic.

They'll be ages.

Besides, we're just here to...

Don't even think about it.

Why, you like candles?

Tess has a collection.

Come on,
we'll just borrow them for an hour or so.

Well, maybe for two hours.

(gentle music)

House rule number 22.

Weekly bubble baths
together are compulsory.

Seconded.

House rule number 23.

To allow for nude flossing,

and all other nude activities,
for that matter.

Ah.

And the others can have
free reign downstairs.

Upstairs is just for us.

Seconded.

Thirded and fourthed.

(pots and pans banging)
(Jodi shrieks)

What the hell is that?

(Alex and Dave yelling)

(Tess and Nick laughing)

Alex, about time, mate.

I guess that means
we're really married now.

It sure does.

(gentle music)
