Previously on McLeod's Daughters.

So who's for coffee?

You have instant?

(coffee pouring)

Instant?

Is that bad?

No actually, it's really good.

Finally something we both disagree about.

Okay, get you one, Nicholas.

Mmm.

So you're prepared to
drink instant in front of her

for the rest of your life?
Yep.

Now that's true love.

I think he's got your eyes.

You reckon?

No but we promised ourselves.

We said we were gonna make this work.

Shh, I need to get away for a while.

I've gotta give us both some space.

Yeah but you see,

I love you to bits and you love me back.

It's not gonna change,

but everything else has changed.

Just gotta take some time, okay.

Oh hey Mum, have you met Luke yet?

He works with Terry at the truck stop.

Oh that's right.

He said you're the truck
stop's best mechanic.

Yeah well, only mechanic actually,

unless you count Terry,

but you know that's a bit of a stretch.

Is it serious then?

No, it's fun.

And that's how it's meant to be isn't it?

Absolutely, Luke's good practice.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well you know,
he's a bit of a rough diamond.

Like Terry.

I gotta pay for a new set of spoilers.

Be doing up that V8.

There's a drag circuit starting
up and I'm gonna win it.

(engine rumbling)

(energetic music)

Okay, go easy on it.

That's a new clutch.

Yeah okay, well all those nights you spent

with this baby instead of me,

I'm gonna get my own back.

Okay.
Woo!

When I drop my arm,

I want you to plant it, yeah.
Yep.

You ready?
Yeah.

Floor it!

(tires screeching)

Woo, yeah!

Way to go Jods, yeah!

(engine revving)

Enjoy it while you can Morgan.

It's the only fun you're
gonna be having at this meet.

You'd be Greg Dawson.

You'd be right, good guess.

Well it's not hard.

Who else would have their
car polished for practice day?

(Greg laughing)

Is that the best you can do, mate?

Well, you'll have time

to come up with something a bit better

while you're choking on my dust.

The only one who's gonna
be sucking tailpipe Greg, is you.

Mate, I wouldn't trade my shammy for that.

Well at least it's my work,

not paid for by daddy.

Ooh, ouch.

That almost hurt.

Woo, what a blast.

You're looking good Jod

and I don't mean the car.

Oh, and you Greg Dawson,

have not changed a
bit since primary school.

You have.

Have you met my boyfriend Luke?

Yeah, we've been chatting.

I'll see you in my rear vision mirror mate.

(door opening and closing)

What a tool.

He's just stirring.

Don't let him get to you.

He won't.

This is so awesome.

Can we go again?

No I gotta get back to work and so do you.

So I guess you're driving huh?

Oh man, Stevie's gonna kill me.

(upbeat music)

(laughing and cheering)

Okay, okay,

okay, okay, you're not on the track now.

Oh come on.

Move it!

(horn honking)

Finally.

I'm sorry.

She's a fast woman.

Mum?

Mum, what are you doing here?

The speed limit.
Oh.

(Meg laughing)

No, my work was almost finishing

and when you rang and
called me about Tess and Nick,

I thought I should come home.

Hello Luke.

Hey welcome back.

Well you look fantastic.

Look at you.

Rose for a rose.

Aww Terry.

Oh, I missed the smell of
diesel and radiator coolant.

That's the aftershave, just for you.

These are beautiful.

I picked 'em myself under
the cover of darkness.

Neighbors will never know.

Hang on a second,

you knew that Mum was coming?

I wanted to surprise you.

All right mate, you're in charge 'cause

Meg and I have got some catching up to do.

Terry, can you hold that thought.

Much as I'd love to, I just...

Yeah sure okay,

you go and talk to Tess.

I'll take care of dinner.

Thanks, let's go.

Oh, and I'll catch you later.

(bluesy music)

Hey Terry,
I was thinking now that Meg's back,

maybe I should move
out of the house for a while.

No offense old timer, but you already have.

All my friends threw me a farewell party.

We went to this great
little Tunisian restaurant.

Oh and you'd have laughed.

They actually got me up belly dancing.

Wait a second.

You exposed your naval in
front of strangers over dinner?

You're a brave woman, Mum.

What's wrong with that?

It's healthy to challenge ourselves,

get some new experiences.

You are so right.

You know, I did that too.

Actually, I got a tattoo.

Oh, that's interesting.

Wow, I'm impressed you didn't freak out.

I bet Kate's mum fainted when she got hers.

Kate Manfredi has a tattoo?

Yeah, people can surprise you.

Luke's actually been
doing really well for Terry.

Is that what your tattoo says,
Luke forever?

Actually it's a butterfly.

Oh feminine.

So what's the latest with Tess?

Still coming up with new projects

and as of this morning,

she hadn't called Nick
and he hadn't called her.

Why not?

Well what am I supposed to say?

How 'bout you love her, you miss her,

and you're being a pain in the bum

for your longsuffering brother.

How's that?

Okay, so I tell her I love her.

She says,
so what are we gonna do about it then?

Well that's a fair question.

I have a baby that's not hers.

She's hurt.

Just gonna give her some space, that's all.

And that means ignoring your wife?

I'm not gonna hurt Tess

any more than I already have, okay.

(shovel scooping)

You digging a soakaway

or you goin' all the way to China?

I don't get it.

Can't one of them just pick up the phone.

Not so simple, grasshopper.

Why not?

You got a problem
you talk it through right?

And maybe make it worse.

I mean,
how do you reach out to someone without

looking desperate or say how hurt you are

without it sounding like blame?

They love each other.

Yeah, well it's a lot uglier

to argue with someone you
love than someone you hate.

Sometimes people figure
if they just don't talk then

maybe things won't fall apart completely.

I have an idea.

We can use these rocks to build a wall.

Come again?

Yeah, we'll run it along here,

get rid of the fence.

It's completely natural

so it'll time with our organic status.

Less maintenance too.
Yeah.

Hold on a sec,

it's not like it's our only job.

I mean, we've got the pavers to do,
the roof to fix.

Anyway, we're wasting time.

You guys get on with this.

I'll be back once I've done the ordering.

A wall

on the boundary with Sally's place.

Fancy that.

Tess needs our support right now.

Yeah I know, Pollyanna.

Stevie, you've gotta bend.

With the knees, yes Kate.

Might want to put your gloves on.

(birds chirping)

(phone beeping)

Yeah good day.

It's Ian Nesbitt here,

just about those ewes.

Hello Tess.

This is Jane Parnell.

It's about 10:30.

Look,
there's a committee meeting on the 25th

and we'd love if you and Nick could come.

Catch you later, bye.

(beeping)

[Answering Machine] End of messages.

(melancholy music)

(sighing)

You're joking.

I'm back.

But I thought,

I thought you weren't
coming back for a few weeks.

Well my work finished early

and with Terry spending Jodi's inheritance

on long distance phone calls.

Yeah, I said she better get back here fast.

It's so good to see you.

Oh, you too.

How you doing?

Yeah I'm good, I'm fine.

This thing with Nick it's just, timeout.

Good.

Yeah, it's not like we're separated.

I mean we are, but.

Well we still love each other.

Oh I know.

You know,
I might take the ute out to Stevie

and give you guys some time.

Thanks Jodi.

Maybe later.

We've gotta clear the east boundary paddock

and it's a pretty big job.

All right well,

you get on with that and
I'll get some lunch ready.

Righto.

Oh and to think I'd
almost blotted the taste

of pressed chicken sandwiches from my mind.

Fresh lemons and pine nuts

makes a world of difference.

Mm, it's just like being at home.

Bellisima, mwah.

I got the recipe from Salvatore.

He runs my local cafe.

He's 29 and with a body very al dente.

(women laughing)

And he can cook.

Pass a branding iron, he's mine.

That was great Meg, thanks.

But Tess, you've barely touched your pasta.

I don't think she even stops to sleep.

This is not good.

It's under control.

I've been keeping an eye on her.

I've known Tess a long time.

All this energy is...

Yeah I know Tess pretty well too.

You know, I've been around a bit lately.

We should compare notes some time.

Yeah.

So dinner tonight at Terry's.

Be warned, he's cooking.

I have to say no.

I've got a lot on.

We'll have a proper catch up

when things settle down though, yeah.

Righteo.

(light piano music)

It's just a little thing I
got from the market.

Ah, you shouldn't have.

But you know, just as well you did.

Is the apricot chicken all right?

Beautiful.

I shouldn't have stuffed myself at lunch.

Yeah, she cooked up a storm.

Pesto salad, fudge brownies.

Oh Mum, this is gorgeous.

Don't act so surprised
that your mum has taste.

Thank you so much.

I'll wear it tomorrow.

What's tomorrow?

Southern district sprint.

Drag racing.

Yep, and Luke's gonna win, aren't you?

You bet.

Collect the trophy,
head off to the Gold Coast.

Oh that reminds me.

Donna's gonna bring the
tickets to the track tomorrow

before the first heat.

I should probably give you the 500 now

just in case I get held up.

Thank you.
Not a problem.

Gold Coast?

Yeah for a holiday.

Two nights combination,

five star hotel,

two air fares, 499.

You guys should really think about it.

Sounds like fun.

Yeah I mean, even if it rains it'll be fun.

And you're paying for both of you.

Well, Luke's put most of
his money into the car, so.

Into his car.

Yeah well,
I mean we're both in it together.

But yeah, it is his car I guess.

So he spends money on himself

and you spend your money on.

Mom, I thought we sorted this out.

My boyfriend, my money, my choice.

But drag racing.

I mean, there isn't a mother in the world

that could stay relaxed

about a daughter breathing in petrol fumes,

watching imbeciles crash into each other.

It's a sport, not a demolition derby.

And you know, Luke's good.

He has a real chance at winning.

There's a trophy to show the grandkids.

You know what Mum,

I am an adult now and I
don't need your approval, so.

Maybe it's time to start behaving like one.

Oh what, like belly dancing

with a bunch of university wankers.

(bluesy music)

(engine puttering)

It is none of her business
how I spend my money.

Too right.

You know, the people I see,

how I spend my spare time,

also none of her business.
Yep.

She's just so.

(Jodi groaning)

Yeah I know.

She rocks back from Melbourne,

we're all supposed to fall on our knees?

Well hang on, she is my mum.

Doesn't give her the
right to treat you like that.

Well she did raise me on her own.

She's made a lot of sacrifices.

Mothers are trouble.

No, she just wants what
she thinks is best for me.

And I'm not?

(lively music)

No, you are actually

a very bad influence.

(smooching)

Ah, he's not a bad kid.

But Jodi's smart and she's attractive.

She should be getting
out and about in the world.

She could do better, you mean.

No, I didn't say that.

Yeah, well that's what your
mum would have said about me.

I didn't exactly start out squeaky clean.

She used to talk about
traveling around the world.

You know, living in Paris and London.

Not stuck in some small town

with a drag racing king of Gungellan.

She could get to be the drag queen.

(Meg laughing)

There is no crime in
wanting the best for your kids.

Yeah?

I got the best.

She...

I should have picked up the

Listen, why don't we go
away together for a few days?

Or we could have Sally abducted by aliens.

I was just practicing.

I'll dial next time.

Don't know about the alien abduction bit.

Crop circles always give it away.

Right.

Well, look at what time it is.

Happy hour at chateau Stevie.

Oh look I'd love to but I can't.

I have to call Peter.

Charlotte's due here in a few days.

Come on Tess, please.

It'll do you good.

I won't take no for an answer.

She said no.

At least you tried.

Yeah well, it's not enough.

Look, I know life's not a fairytale,

doesn't always have a happy ending.

But Tess, she believes in true love

like a kid believes in Santa.

Who wouldn't believe in Santa?

Stop it, I'm being serious.

Me too.

Look face it,

we've gotta get Cinderella
and Prince Charming

back together again.

Right, so what does that make us?

The ugly stepsisters?

You can speak for yourself.

I'm the gorgeous,
seductive stepsister who has a plan.

(light music)

You all right?

What are you doing?

You cleaning up or something?

It's an outdoor cafe.

What's wrong with the cafe we already got?

Nothing if you like white bread sandwiches

and instant coffee.

But my customers do like

white bread sandwiches and instant.

No, they only think they do.

Gungellan needs something new.

And this is our chance to give
the town something different.

I even managed to pick up a
secondhand cappuccino machine.

Now we can have croissants and brioche.

It's like a food oasis on
the edge of Gungellan.

What do you think?

Sure, give it a whirl.

I thought you got the
detonator caps last week.

I nearly did

and then I looked at 'em and I thought

maybe they were the wrong size.

So I thought,

I'd better check with Tess first.

'Cause we're gonna need 'em

if we want to shift those big rocks.

Yeah well, I guess.

Oh no.

We're gonna have to get some fuel.

So why didn't you just pick
up the trophies on the way in?

Look, I must have forgot.

Total blank or something.

Why do you need me?

Will you stop whinging?

You should have rung through.

I would have drove 'em out for ya.

That's what I said.

Yeah, but then I would have missed out

on one of your famous burgers matey.

Look who's here.

Oh, isn't he precious?

Nick's here.

Really?

I look disgusting.

Worked for Cinderella.

What?

(suspenseful piano music)

Nick.

She just dropped in for a coffee.

Hey.

Sleep tonight...

Tess, hi.

Sally.

Anyway listen,

I gotta get going so.

Catch you later yeah?

Yeah, later.

Stevie.

Okay, confession time.

Nick was supposed to be here, Sally wasn't.

Alex and I just thought you know,

it was neutral ground, no pressure.

It was a really dumb idea.

I'm really sorry, Tess.

(engines rumbling)

Well hello men of speed.

That is it for the qualifying rounds.

So for the Servos heat,

the top seed is Greg Dawson.

Number two is Luke Morgan.

Put your hands together.

(group clapping)

Okay, see you lot after lunch.

Good luck everyone.

Morgan.

Number two eh?

Must have been some tailwind.

You'd be lucky to make the final.

I'll be there.

I'll be kicking your ass.

Talk is cheap mate.

(bluesy music)

50 bucks.

Make it interesting.

Bet the whole 500.

(Luke exhaling)

Too much is it?

It's easy to talk big.

500 it is.

Done.
Done.

Alex, want to hold this for us?

You blokes aren't having a bet are you?

Of course not mate.

It's just for the celebration
party afterwards.

Yeah, car finishing first
gets to celebrate, right?

That's right.
Whatever.

Come on boys.

Hey, how did the times pan out?

Yeah, Luke's second seed Jodi.

Well what does that mean?

It's like tennis.

Top two seeds are in
different halves of the draw.

If it all goes according to form,

Luke and Greg should meet in the final.

Right, well do you reckon he's gonna win?

Well he reckons he can.

Him and Dawson just coughed
up a grand on a side bet.

You bet my money?

Our money.

No Luke, this is your money.

My money is our holiday.

What gives you the right?

Okay, Jodi.

Don't okay.

I can't believe you.

Jodi, I'm not stupid okay.

I've been doggin' the trials.

I got plenty more speed up my sleeve.

Yeah?
Yeah.

Did it ever occur to you

that Greg might have been dogging as well?

(tires screeching)

(engine rumbling)

If I'd known it was your money,

I wouldn't have made
the bet in the first place.

Well can I have it back?

Well you see that's the problem.

We've both made it to
the final and a bet's a bet.

Well change the stakes.

Bet something else.

Sorry Jodi.

You've been dropped in it.

(Greg laughing)

Jodi, I'm gonna win and I'm
gonna pay you back every cent

and then I'm gonna take
you to the Gold Coast.

Yeah, well it's a little bit late

to start thinking about
me now isn't it Luke?

[Man on Loudspeaker] Luke Morgan is first.

Luke Morgan to the car please.

I gotta go.
Fine, go.

[Man on Loudspeaker] Alex Ryan,

could you please come
to the marshal's table?

(tires screeching and engine roaring)

Why don't you just call her, mate?

Why don't you just stay out of it.

(booming and screeching)

Luke, Luke!

(dramatic music)

Luke, Luke, Luke!

You all right?

Take it easy, take it easy.

I've got you.
Luke!

(Luke grunting)

Ow, ow.

Yeah, it's fine.

The bloody tire blew out.

Look at this.

Look at this.

Don't worry about the car, mate.

I reckon your shoulder might
need a bit of panel beating.

He's all right, just a bit angry.

Come over here, get away from the truck.

Thanks guys.

She's all right, we put the fire out.

Two hours, it's a big ask.

I know, I know.

Well, why can't you just wait'll next time?

No Terry, we can't okay.

Luke has bet all my money
on a race with Greg Dawson.

He did what?

I know, I could kill him myself

except I already think he's
done a pretty good job of that.

Look, look, I don't have to tell you,

Luke's heart's in the right place.

But he can be hard work at times.

Does it ever get any easier?

Yeah, sure it does,

just after it's over.

Maybe you should try
keeping your arm still.

I told you, you don't need to bother.

It's no bother.

It's what mothers do.

You're gonna need some x-rays.

It's just bruised.

We'll go after the race.

If you're gonna risk your neck again,

maybe you should try
being a bit more careful.

I've got a daughter that
seems to be in love with you.

You don't like me, that's fine, I get it.

But get this,

I'm not going anywhere.

I love Jodi just as much as you do.

You've known her five minutes.

That doesn't even get the speedo moving.

(footsteps departing)

(grunting)

(light piano music)

We need more big rocks here for the base.

All right, okay.

No Kate, big ones.

The small rocks are for later.

Hey, give her a break.

She's doin' her best.

Never said she wasn't.

Okay, so why don't we
lighten up a little bit then, hey?

Yeah, when we've done what needs doing.

Oh I'm sorry I forgot all
your grand plans for Drover's.

Anything to avoid calling Nick.

Well you're one to give a lecture.

(Kate screaming)

Kate!

Tell me what's wrong, what'd you do?

I think I pulled a muscle.

All right, keep still.

Try not to move.

Look I'm sorry,

but this work is way outside

the occupational health
and safety guidelines all right.

Just gonna have to move the rocks yourself,
Tess.

You and your great wall of Sally.

Are you happy now?

Kate, I'm so sorry.

Well I think the spasms are
stopping so that's something.

Okay, reckon you can sit up?

I can do this.

I'll take you to the hospital.

No, I'll take her.

You've got stuff to do here,

and I don't mean finish the wall.

I'll be better, I'm okay.

Well you stay as long as you like, no rush.

I'll boss myself around for a bit,
see how it feels.

I'm sorry that I snapped at you.

It's just the pain talking.

You and your bend at the knees.

I think I just bent the whole way.

[Sally on answering machine] Hi,

Sally and Harrison can't
take your call right now,

but leave a message and
we'll call you right back.

(beeping)

Hi Sally, it's Tess here.

Listen, there's been an accident.

Kate's hurt her back.

Stevie's taking her to the hospital but

I'd really appreciate it

if you think there's anything you could do.

I mean, it might be nothing so

call ahead first but

I'll fix you up for your trouble, so.

Yeah, all right,

thanks Sally, bye.

(tractor rumbling)

(rocks tumbling)

Stevie called me.

You okay here?

It was a stupid idea in the first place.

I've made such a mess of everything.

Ah Tess.

It wasn't you.

I've never been married before.

I've never had a husband leave me.

I don't know what the rules are, Meg.

You just have to follow your heart.

Yeah, but how did it end up like this?

Who says it's the end?

Meg.

(Tess crying)

(beeping)

[Man on answering machine]
You know you've called Alex,

Dave, and Nick.

We're not home right now,

but leave a message after the beep.

(beeping)

(ringing)

Get a three quarter socket, mate.

(Luke grunting)

Good to see your arm's much better.

Well, it has to be.

Okay, come on Terry hurry
up or I'm gonna be scratched.

Luke,
we can't win if you can't change gears.

I'm fine.
I'm driving.

Hang on Jodi.

I'm driving.

Hey no way.

You want your money back, take the car.

Take the car, sell it.

It's yours okay.

You're not driving in the drag race.

We are supposed to be a team,

but suddenly that doesn't
seem to matter anymore

because you're in a my

donk is bigger than your donk
competition with Greg Dawson.

(door closing)

I'm driving, okay.

Mum, there's something
I should probably tell you.

Can it wait til after I've had a coffee?

I'm driving Luke's car.

You're what?

In the drag race final.

Are you mad?

Well, he's made this bet with Greg Dawson.

He's pushed you into this hasn't he?

No, no, no,
he doesn't actually want me to do it,

but I'm going to

and I really don't want
to fight with you about it.

I'm not gonna fight with you Jodi,

but I'm not gonna be there
to pick up the pieces either.

Hey, Jodi's a good driver.

I'm not gonna let anything happen to her.

Too late.

Look at her, look what she's doing.

Well now I have to stand by her.

That's how it is when
you love someone isn't it?

(engine rumbling)

See you out there.

(suspenseful music)

I'm off to the track.

[Man on loudspeaker] Ladies and gentlemen,

our feature race for this afternoon,

the final of the Gungellan
drag will commence shortly,

as soon as somebody gets
those kids off the racetrack.

(crowd buzzing)

(engine roaring)

Hey, ladies.

What happened to you, soldier?

Kids of today can't take the pace.

It's just a strained back I think.

Shifting mountains and making molehills.

So what's been happening?

Did Luke make the final?

Well, his car did.

There's a wobble in the steering wheel.

It was like a real vibration.

Well the suspension's okay.

Could be too much play
in the rack and pinion.

That's easy to fix, right?

No, there's no time.

Okay, now if you get that
shake in the wheel again,

you back off.

Okay, just back off.

Yeah okay, stop nagging.

Everything all right?

Yeah fine.

Hey, good luck huh?
Thanks.

You know what they say,

break a leg.

Then again,
that's probably not such a good idea.

See you.

(doors opening and closing)

(engine roaring)

(Kate and Stevie cheering)

Had to get your girlie to
do your work for you did ya?

Shove it Dawson.

Hey, you're the one who lost her money.

It's not exactly lost yet, Greg.

Bet was, I finish faster than him.

And seeing as he's not even racing.

No, no,
the bet was which car finishes first.

Afraid he's right, Greg.

If I was you,
I'd get back in your car mate.

Hate you to miss the start, eh.

This is strictly business, Jod,

but I'll save you a glass of
champagne from the magnum.

In one minute,

the only thing that's gonna be on ice,
Greg, is your ego.

And I'm really more of a beer girl anyway.

Can we just clear the track please,
gentlemen and lady.

Thank you.

Okay, you ready?
Yep.

Now it's all in the start, yeah.

Go get 'em, Jods.

[Man on loudspeaker] Drivers,

this is your two minute warning.

The final of the Gungellan drags

will commence in two minutes.

Excuse me, sorry.

Jodi, sorry.

Oh sorry, excuse me.

Jodi, sorry.

Good luck.

I love you Mum.

Meg, Meg.

I know you're a big fan of the drag racing,

but if you're not planning on driving.

What, oh.

Oh sorry, all right.

Thank you.

If she so much as harms a hair on her head,
I'll kill you.

Might have to draw straws with Terry.

Too right.

(suspenseful music)

Okay drivers, start your engines.

(engines rumbling)

(crowd cheering)

(tires screeching)

Damn it!

Bugger!

[Man on loudspeaker] And
with a time of 11.6 seconds,

Greg Dawson clinches the final

and is the new Gungellan drag champion.

(crowd cheering and clapping)

I had him.

I had him on toast.

Stupid bloody,

what's that thing called again?

Rack and pinion.

Rack and pin thing.

Hey Jody,

top drive.
Thanks.

You got ripped off Jod.

Yeah, that bloke should
buy himself a lottery ticket.

Yeah well now he can afford one.

Oh that was amazing.

Oh thanks.

You're incredible.

Must be in the genes.

Apparently my mum is a
really good belly dancer.

Meg.
Oh hello.

(Greg laughing)

You almost had me Jodi.

Mind you,
you still can if you want to try it out.

Hey, she lost the race, not her mind.

What can I say?

The best man won,
and you're still a loser Morgan.

You know, Greg,

if my daughter had a halfway decent car,

she'd have kicked your ass

all the way to the wrecker's yard.

(laughing and clapping)

Way to go, Mum.

Didn't know you had it in ya.

(trunk and door closing)

I'm an idiot, okay.

And I know it's not the point,

but I'm gonna pay you back, every cent.

And I'm gonna get us on that holiday.

Oh come on, everything would have been fine

if the damn tire hadn't blown out.

Luke, it is not about the tire.

It is not about winning or losing the race.

It's about us, putting us first.

So I should have cleared it with you right?

What?

Well it wouldn't have made a difference.

I would have talked you into it anyway.

Come on, we double our money.

We get a better holiday.

It made sense.

Wait, made sense to take my money

and risk it all on a race?

Look, the inner workings of my brain

are still a complete
mystery to you aren't they?

Jods,

I don't want us to break up.

Luke, nothing's gonna break us up.

Oh.

(light music)

Here we go.

Cappuccino.

There's your tucker.

Where's mine?

Good of you to turn up mate.

Nevermind worrying
about where your tucker is.

There you go, enjoy.

Oh, cutlery.

It's good coffee, Meg.

It's about time.

Self service is it?

I'll have a latte.

Thought you liked instant.

No, I was just pretending to

so I could get closed to a girl I know.

So your taste has changed.

Is that what you're saying?

I don't care what type of
coffee I like anymore Tess.

I don't even know what day it is.

I just remember how
much I wanted that girl.

Yeah, well sometimes it's hard to go back.

It's not impossible.

I've just been with Sally.

And I told her things weren't working out.

She and Harrison are
moving back to the city.

With Harrison?

Are you?

I can visit Harrison.

It's not perfect.

I can live with it.

So when are they going?

Few days.

Once they've gone.

So what was it?

Was it an instant or a latte?

I don't care.

I just want the girl.

Okay two focaccias with the lot.

Hey what's going on?

You've hardly touched your food.

It's not really the food, Meg.

It's the ambience.

What, what's wrong with the ambience?

Oh, well there's no denying it Mum.

I mean,
the outdoor cafe is all very Paris, but.

The smell here Meg is
definitely still Gungellan.

(mooing and rattling)

(playful music)

Oh righteo,
who wants to help me inside with all this?

Relax, you're not in the menu yet.
