Morning!

Morning, Helen.
Hi, Helen.

Just gonna bring all these in.

It's intriguing.

Wonder what could be in them.

I wonder why
you're three minutes late.

I'm a partner now, Viktor.
You're not the boss of me.

I can do what I want.

And I'm doing a big announcement
in the kitchen, 10:00AM.

Big announcement?
Should I get a mud cake?

No, we don't need a mud cake.
Then it's not a big announcement.

That's right, Mr Chen.

Big announcement - mud cake.
Roz's rules.

Well, Roz doesn't make the rules
around here anymore. I do.

Shall I tell Roz that?
No, don't tell Roz that.

Just big announcement
in the kitchen.

10:00AM.

You're gonna like it.

No mud cake?

No, thank you.

Well, I've had my suspicions
for a while,

and this costume confirms it.

What?
So, she gave me a free consultation.

That's her job.
She's a fashion psychologist.

Yes, and what is that, exactly?

She helps you reveal your true self.

I mean, look at what
she's uncovered here.

A 1970s maths teacher
who can't afford socks anymore.

I'm wearing sockettes.

And, so, how long
have you two been consulting?

Friends for three months.
Benefits for three weeks.

Oh, good God.

Knock, knock! Just letting you know -

10:00AM in the kitchen,

big announcement.

Excellent.
I could use some good news.

Turns out Raymond's been dating

one of the members
of our networking group.

Oh, congratulations.
Thank you, Fisk.

Gee, I like your skivvy, Ray.

I can't wear skivvies. They block my
airway. I think my neck's too fat.

Anyway, 10:00AM -
my first big announcement as partner.

Don't miss it.

Right, well, unfortunately,
the rule is no romantic liaisons

within the networking group.

She's going to have to leave

and find a different
Business and Breakfast chapter.

Why does Meli have to leave?
Why is it always the woman?

Where's your female solidarity, Roz?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Do YOU want to leave
the networking group

that you and I
spent years putting together?

No, I do not. I'll make the call.

Hello, my lady love!

All sorted, Rozzy.

I'm quitting the group.

Ah! Welcome, Roz.

Notice anything different?

Where's the mud cake?
There's no mud cake.

Oh, could this day get any worse?

There's no mud cake!

No, 'cause I bought
a proper coffee machine.

Fine.

Big announcement,
courtesy of me.

There is now barista-grade coffee
in our own office!

Let the maiden voyage begin.

And...

Ooh-ee!

Helen, what in God's name
are you doing?

I'm grinding.
I'm on the phone.

Oh, good. As you were.

Huh.

OK.

Let's go a doubler.

Fisk!

Fisk!

Hey!

W-a-a-a-h!

Helen!
Whoa! Yay!

My first customer.

People are trying to work.

You can have this back
at the end of the day.

I don't even care.

Good bean, fresh grind.

I like my coffee how I like my men.

Mm!

Bitter and slightly unpleasant.

Can you at least stay
until after my webinar?

I can't cancel it.

No, you can't.
You've had four sign-ups already.

I'm just gonna get my jug
and then I'll be out of your hair.

I said end of the day.

Viktor's trying to resign.

What? Why?
I mean, I don't care, but why?

Well, the judge has his book launch
coming up.

Then he's going on a signing tour.
He needs me to manage everything.

Oh, did you want something?

Just my jug.
Well, Viktor said you can't have it.

I'll remind you I'm a partner now,

so, let's all be grown-ups
and give me my jug back.

Also, Viktor's not the boss of me.

Not now, Helen.

Fine.

Hey, I...

At least tell me
the teaser's finished.

Oh, absolutely.

Oh.

Hello.

I'm Rosalind Gruber,

founder and CEO
of Conch Mediation Services.

Every day I help people resolve
their problems just by listening.

A special kind of listening.

No, not with the ears,

but with the heart.

Oh.

Well, that has lifted my mood.

I am constantly surprised
at how photogenic I am.

And I've had nothing done.
Mm!

Fisk, I need to see you
in my office.

Yeah, or maybe just take a seat here
and we can talk in MY office

'cause I'm a partner now.

Why can't we ever meet in MY office?

Ooh, no jacket. Strong choice, Ray.

What? I'm a partner.
Surely I have couch privileges now.

Alright.

So, because my new lady love...

Oh, Ray, don't say 'lady love'.

What do you want me to call her?
My lover?

No.
My beloved.

Yuck.
My boo.

No.
Ray's bey.

Definitely not.
Go back to 'lady love'.

Fine. Point is I have to leave
the Copeland BAB group.

What's a BAB again?

Business and Breakfast.
Our networking group.

And I need you to take my place.

Oh, no thanks.
Networking is not really my thing.

Well, clearly, but as you're so fond
of saying, you're a partner now,

and do you know what partners do?

Sudoku?
No.

No?
They bring in new business.

And at the moment
I'm bringing in 90% of new business.

90%? Really?

Yes, Fisk.
How do you think I do that?

Networking.
Correct.

And where do we network?

In the networking group.

Everywhere.
Everywhere.

I'm always networking.
Always.

I've always got the feelers out -

on the golf course, mahjong,
toastmasters, the cycling club.

Sometimes I'll pop into
the local paint and sip.

I often network in the sauna.

Sauna? Oh, come on.

Everybody's equal in the sauna,
Fisk.

No expensive suits,
just balls out, let's talk.

Oh, Ray, I can't even network
with my clothes on,

let alone with my balls out.

That's what
the networking group's for.

Once a month, all the professionals
in the area get together,

talk turkey, swap clients, find out
about any new clubs you can join.

Clubs?
Yes.

Do you belong to any clubs?

Dog-walking club.

Is that a club or are you just
telling me you walk your dog?

Maybe. But the reason
we make such a good team

is because you like networking

and I like working.

It's the perfect
business partnership.

I'm the worker.

You're the queen.

What?
Like bees in the hive.

And Roz is the drone.

"Oh, Helen, don't go there.
Why are you doing that?"

That right there is an example
of how not to network.

Don't be banging on about bees
in the networking group. Understood?

Got it. No bees at BAB.

Hey, Murray.

Oh, thanks for doing this.

No problem, Helen.
Just being neighbourly.

How are you settling in?
Yeah, good, thanks.

Listen, I spoke
to the real-estate agent.

I found out how much you paid.

Oh, OK. That's a bit awkward.

They saw YOU coming.

OK. That's good to know.

What's with the crappy car?

I thought a big-time fancy lawyer
with loads of money

would be driving, like,
a Mercedes or a Beemer or...

I'm not a big-time fancy lawyer.
I'm just a wills and estates lawyer.

Well, now, that's interesting.
Let me run a hypothetical past you.

Could we maybe do it a bit later?

I just... I've got to get
all this stuff inside.

I've got to walk my dog. Do you mind?

Forgive me
for trying to share my grief.

I just lost my dad.
I'm confused.

Is your dad actually dead
or hypothetically dead?

He passed about a month ago.

Oh. I'm sorry for your loss.

Did you want a probate lawyer or...

Slow down, Fangio.
Get your hand out of my wallet.

I just want a bit
of neighbourly advice.

Did you want neighbourly advice
or legal advice?

Porque no los dos?

I don't know that. Is it Latin?

Espanol.

Why can't it be both?
You know, like the taco ad.

Right. Well, the problem is I can't
give you specific legal advice

unless I'm your lawyer.
There it is - the hard sell.

I knew that was coming.

Just forget it. I'll do it myself.

If you wanna take my card,
pop into my office,

I'm happy to give you
some free general advice.

Talk you through
the probate process.

Et cetera, et cetera.
Ooh.

Et cetera.

OK, well, the offer's there
if you want it.

Give it here.

Thanks... Thanks for doing my lawn.

Yep.

That's the list. You got one member
from each profession.

You got real-estate agent,
accountant,

Stefan - financial advisor.

He's annoying.

There's a conveyancer,
a chiropractor...

Is there a butcher?
No.

Baker?

Candlestick maker?

Don't mock, Helen. It's a serious
networking collective.

Well said, buddy.

Mediation - that's Roz, obviously.

Wills and estates - that's me.

You've got Meli, my lady love.

Congratulations.
Very, very happy for you.

Thanks, buddy.
She's a fashion psychologist.

Yeah, what is that exactly?

She helps you realise it's what's
on the outside that counts.

Or something like that.
Look it up.

Oh, spanner in the works.

The word's got out
that Ray's leaving,

and now Debbie Lim AND Bob Stanley

have both put up their hands
for the wills and estates spot.

Oh, shit.
Oh, no!

There's going to be a vote.
Oh, no, but it's your group.

Why does there have to be a vote?

You can just branch-stack it with me
or gerrymander me in.

Not how it works, Fisk.

You have to verse
all the other candidates.

Winner takes all -
membership and bragging rights.

Oh, yeah, I'll be bragging for weeks.

Unlikely because you won't win
with that attitude.

The vote's next week.
We're having it here.

Oh, that's great, Helen.
Home-court advantage.

Each candidate
will have two minutes at the podium.

So, two minutes. Should I do a
PowerPoint presentation or Webmaster?

Can you teach me how to use Canva?
Oh, Helen, that's for babies.

Is it?
I quite enjoy Canva.

No, there's no tech allowed.

Why not?
It's old school.

To prove you can network,

you have to win them over with
your personality and people skills.

Oh.

What?

Should we just concede?
Throw our vote behind Bob?

I think so, yeah.
Yeah.

I think that's the best thing.
Hang on. No. I mean,

I don't really want
to join a networking group,

but if it's important...

Is it important?
Yes, it's important.

Every one of these 12 people
refers their clients to me.

That's a lot of potential coin.

The ultimate quid pro quo.

Like the taco ad.

No, that's 'Porque no los dos?'

OK, Georgie, we're gonna need
a photo and a quote for the banner.

Helen.
What?

This is all your fault.
Are you happy now?

I am happy, actually, Rosalind.

For the first time in a long time.

Uh...

I had some stuff on MY agenda.

Helen, your neighbour is here
to see you for free.

Oh! Hey! Murray!

It's for free, right?
That's what you said.

Yes, I did say that.
And I said pop in any time.

So, come on, 30 minutes. Let's do it.

Free - you heard that.
You're my witness.

I'm not paying for this.

No, you're not paying for this,
Murray.

Nor am I giving you
any specific advice

pertaining
to your particular circumstances.

Oh, pertaining.
I get it, Helen, you're a lawyer.

Yeah, but do you get
that I'm not YOUR lawyer.

This is general probate advice only.
OK?

So, I'm gonna give you a checklist.

Start the clock.

I want the full 30 minutes
you just promised.

OK.

Has your watch got a timer?
No, I was pretending.

But I did look at the time.

OK, so, here's what happened...
No, I don't wanna know what happened.

That's a specific.
I said general advice only.

But I need to know whether...
No. Stop talking.

You're wasting your free 30 minutes.

Let me talk. OK? You shush.

Mm.

And I think that's it.
We're all done.

But, I warn you, probate
is a long and tedious process.

Good luck, sir.

We're not done.
I've still got 10 minutes left.

Let me show you something.
Is this about your dad?

Yeah. Turns out, before he died,

he was paying his gardener
with IOUs.

There's 63 of them.
Well, I can't look at those.

Don't look at them.
I'll read them to you.

"I owe Felix Bandara $50,
to be paid upon my death,

"for gardening service
and sweeping."

Adds up to more than three grand.

OK, so?

Well, do I have to pay them?
Are they signed and dated?

Yeah.
Are you the executor?

Yep.
Well, then I would say probably yes.

Probably?

But not definitely?

So, what you're saying is...

..it's a grey area.

What I'm saying
is I'm not your lawyer,

I don't know the specifics,

therefore I can't give you
legal advice

one way or the other.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I get it, you can't confirm or deny.

Whatever.
Bz! Bz! Bz! Bz! Bz! Bz!

Oh, that's my pretend alarm
going off. That's our time.

Last chance. Do you need my help?

Do you want to engage me
as your lawyer?

Nuh.

Find some other sucker to fund
your next real-estate purchase.

Good luck, Murray.

Oh, no, buddy, don't go here.

Don't go here.

No, no, no, no, no.

Oh.

I hope you're gonna pick that up.
Yep.

I might just wait for it to leave
his bum hole first, if that's OK.

Righto.

And don't put it in my bin.

Whatever, mate.

Sit still and put that hat
back on your head, please.

Sorry to keep you waiting.
Hi. Helen Tudor-Fisk.

Now, what can I do for...
Oh, take-your-son-to-work day.

That's fun. G'day, champ.
Ignore him, please.

So, I understand
you represent Murray Trumble.

What? No. I don't represent Murray.
He was very clear about that.

Well, that's not what he said.

According to Murray,
he spoke to a lawyer -

this lawyer -

and you advised him
he didn't have to pay the 63 IOUs.

I never advised him. Absolutely not.

I was very clear about that.
Oh, really?

Because he said you said
it was a 'grey area',

which means he 'probably'
doesn't have to pay them.

No, I never said 'grey area'.
HE said 'grey area'.

Oh, my God, that man's annoying.

Yeah, that man's annoying.

That's enough.
That is enough.

But he's right. He is annoying.

So, can we just go back a bit?
I'm confused.

I assume
you're representing the gardener.

Yeah. She is.

He's my son.

One more time with the hat
and I'll take it.

Oh. I'm sorry. THIS is the gardener?

This is who was getting paid
with IOUs?

Yes. He is a high-energy child.

He likes mowing lawns,

so, we encouraged him
to start a little business.

He likes all the equipment,
the earmuffs, the leg thingies...

They're gaiters. I have gaiters.

Yes. Thank you. Gaiters.

Now, according to my research,
these are promissory notes.

Yes, they are signed and dated.
That is correct.

Which makes them legal tender.

Yeah, well,
that's a bit of a stretch.

I'm not sure you could buy
your groceries with them.

Hey, mate,
maybe don't menace the greenery.

Can he stop that?
Just ignore him.

So, you agree that Murray
is obliged to pay these IOUs?

Yes, but what I'm telling you is...

..you're not gonna get any money...
Mum. Look - plastic. It's not real.

How interesting.

Why don't you go and take
a look at all the other plants

and see how many are real
and how many are fake? Go on.

OK, what I'm saying
is you're not gonna get any money

out of Murray Trumble.

Not without a fight.
You probably need a lawyer.

Plastic!
Oh, I see.

So, now you want me to pay you

just so I can get the money
that's rightfully owed to my son?

It's fake!
That's not what I said.

Why doesn't anyone listen to me?

What I said
was why don't you just...

Uh-oh!

This one's real.

Yeah, maybe don't...

Oh, whatever.

I'm actually a partner here
at Gruber & Fisk.

Yes. It's written here in biro.

Yeah. And for a worthy cause
such as this

I would be willing
to take it on pro bono.

It's a kitchen!
There's a fridge in here!

Don't you climb into that!

Felix, stay out of the fridge,
please!

What were you saying?

How would you like me to represent
Felix free of charge? Sorry.

Is he climbing in to the fridge...
I didn't come in here for charity.

I came in here to get
what's rightfully owed to my son.

OK, well, if you feel insulted,

I'd be happy to charge you
$450 an hour.

Pro bono will be just fine.
Thank you.

Same team. Let's get Murray!

Oh, God. What is he doing?

By covering my eyes,

I'm removing one of my key senses.

This will help me listen

not just with the ears,
but with my whole heart.

Oh, come on!

Who did that?!

Fuck!

Yeah, I think so. Alright.

Close the door, Georgie.

Now, vis-a-vis the upcoming vote,

Viktor has brought it
to my attention

that Helen can have a rather
aggressive conversational style.

It's more she gets jagged
on certain topics

to the point where it can
start to feel like an interrogation.

Mm.
I think she just likes to drill down.

I don't mind it.

Good on you, buddy.

But when you're working a room,
you've got to keep it light.

You've got to stay agile.
You can't get bogged down.

You've got to keep moving
like a shark.

Yes.

I've put together a list of topics
she should avoid.

Put bees on that list.

She was banging on about those
the other day.

Maybe coffee. She is a bit obsessed
with the size of the grind.

Alright, so, I want everybody
on Helen watch tomorrow at the vote.

If you see her
getting jagged on anything,

just step in and move her along.

Hi, guys.

Is there a big announcement?
Did I miss it?

No.
No, no.

No.
We're all just working.

Come on, Mr G.

Excuse me, Helen.

What's happening, George?
Working. Um...

- Please take that.
- On the next one.

There's the hole punch.

What are you gonna do with that?
Yeah, punch some holes.

Just working.

OK.

Not here, Ray. This is a workspace.

Of course.

Fisk!
Yeah?

I'd like you to meet Melissa,
my boo.

Oh...
Don't say that.

Copeland's
premier fashion psychologist.

Nice to meet you, Melissa.
You too.

What's your take on this?

Oh, what's it saying?

Come on, suit, talk to me.

Talk to me.

A bit weird.

Well, I'm sensing
you don't prioritise your appearance.

Um...
Now, is that a bit of shame?

A little bit.
No.

No, it's not shame.

What is it? Why this colour?

Why so shapeless?

What is it saying?

I think it's saying,
"Vote for Helen!"

Can I count on your vote?

A bit desperate, mate. Dial it down.

I think I'll reserve my judgement

till I've seen
all three presentations.

Seriously? You're the whole reason
why he has to quit the group.

You couldn't just sling me your vote
just out of...

I'm terribly sorry.

So, no dog?

No, I don't have a dog.

Cat?
No, no. No pets?

None? Really?

Oh. Have you got allergies?

No, I don't have any allergies.

Hello! Hello!
Then why don't you have a pet?

Because...
I heard the word 'allergies',

and I thought, "That's
an unusual topic for conversation."

Lisa, how are you?

Currently under interrogation
for not having pets.

I wasn't interrogating, I was saying

she must be really sad
'cause she doesn't have a dog,

dogs can lift your spirits...
And let's just move you along.

That's your life as a female.
Imagine that.

If you don't get picked as queen,
your only option is to be a drone.

You can't even be a worker.
That's only for males.

No bees, mate.
I was talking about wasps!

Thank you, Rosalind.

Well, I see a lot of familiar faces

bringing back
a lot of wonderful memories.

Patrick. Pam. Of course.

This is new, Greg. I love that.
Couldn't enjoy...

Let's move it along.
Everyone is busy.

Good point.

Alrighty, today we have three
highly qualified candidates -

Bob Stanley from Stanley & Sons,

Debbie Lim from Furstenberg-Grey,

and, of course,
my personal favourite,

Helen Tudor-Fisk from Gruber & Fisk.

Objection!
Sustained! I withdraw the comment.

She's not my favourite, Bob.
You are.

I'm joking!

You're all my favourites.

May the best
wills and estates lawyer win.

I think that went well.
Yes.

Now, each candidate
will have two minutes,

and I will sound the bell
at one minute 30.

Let's begin with Debbie Lim
from Furstenberg-Grey.

Boo.

No. We don't boo.
Alright.

Here's what you need to know
about Debbie Lim.

Nothing gets in the way
of my networking.

Oh, looks, like there's something
in the way of my networking.

What is it?

It's this goddamn podium!

Jesus.

Debbie Lim.

I've got a lot of clients.

Debbie Lim. Call me anytime.
I'm here for you.

Debbie Lim.

You need clients. I've got heaps.

More than Bob. More than Helen.

Objection!
Save your objection!

No-one's interested.

Don't ring that bell, Roz,
'cause I'm done.

Why don't I use
my whole two minutes?

'Cause I don't waste time.

Not yours, not mine.

We are important people.

Debbie Lim!

Vote for me.

What was that?

Do you want a hand with that, Roz?
Yes. Thank you, Bob.

Very forceful and powerful.

Fairly convincing.

Look, stay here
because you're speaking next.

Please, welcome Bob Stanley.

Oh, thank you, everyone!

Look, I'm not gonna get up here
and knock over the podium,

but I might knock you over
with a cracking anecdote.

How does that sound?

Oh.
Excellent.

Alright. Are you all familiar
with the actor Russell Crowe?

Oh, the big man.
Yeah.

Rusty and I go way back,

and years ago, he called me up
and he said,

"Bob, Robert, Roberto,

"I need some advice."

That's 30 seconds, Bob.

But, look,
take all the time you like.

I think people
are really enjoying themselves.

Thanks, Roz!

Anyway, I said to Rusty,

"Come on, mate,
are you not entertained?"

Oh, shit. That's from Gladiator.

He just put his arms around me
like a big bear

and he said, "Mate, can I use that?"

And the rest
is Oscar-winning history.

Good story, but I don't get

what any of it's got to do
with the networking group.

Well, he's just proving he's a
great guy, he's got good anecdotes,

he knows famous people,

now we all wanna be part
of his gang.

That's networking.

So, I need to get people in my gang?
Yeah.

Stories about famous people.
Absolutely.

And now to our final candidate
for today,

Helen Tudor-Fisk, Gruber & Fisk.

I think I'm gonna go off the cuff.
No. Don't, mate.

Helen!
Yeah. No. It's OK.

Bob just reminded me I've got
a good anecdote about Gladiator.

On the cuff.

On the cuff!

Good morning, everyone.

Listening to Bob's
excellent anecdote,

I was reminded of the time
I went to see the movie Gladiator,

and sitting right in front of me

was - wait for it -

Nicole Kidman's sister.

Um...

Oh, what's her name? I've forgotten.
She's got heaps of kids now.

No-one cares!
Oh, hey! No heckling.

Anyway, I was thinking this here

is like a coliseum...

..and we are all bees in the hive.

What?
The point is...

- What is the point, Helen?
- Yeah, what's the point?

Can you tell them no heckling, Roz?

Can you please get to the point,
Helen?

The point is this group
of networker gladiator bees...

Do you wanna go back on the cuff?

Yes. Thank you.
Can you start the clock again, Roz?

No. One minute.

Why? Bob got extra time.

Bob had the crowd!

Ohh! Roz.

And while it is true that
I'm generally not good in social...

Oh, Roz! No!

In conclusion,

I will network so hard

and bring everyone lots of referrals.

And that is my promise to you all.

Thank you. Amen.
Not amen. Just thank you.

Oh, Antonia Kidman!
That's who it was.

Sorry.

It was Antonia.

Thank you, Helen. Antonia Kidman.

Alright, time to vote.

And the newest member

of our Business and Breakfast
networking group is...

Congratulations, Bob Stanley!

BAB! Welcome to BAB.

Are you people kidding me?!

This is a networking group,
not an anecdote festival.

Enjoy the bullshit stories.

She punched him. She punched him.

Bob, would you like to come up
and say a few words?

Maybe hit us up
with another anecdote, buddy.

You bet.

But I might need
a little bit of sustenance.

Should we move
straight through to the breakfast?

Oh, we dispensed with the breakfast
element a while back, Bob.

What?! It was meant to be enjoyable.
It's Business AND Breakfast.

Porque no los dos?

Yeah, exactly. The taco ad.
Why can't we have both?

You know, Green Hills
have a terrific spread,

and they're the most successful
BAB chapter in the state.

Yeah, they even have
an omelette station.

I might see
if they've got an opening.

Anyway. Thanks, everyone!

Happy networking!

Say g'day to Rusty for us.

Uh...

Alright, well, on a countback,

the person with the most votes

is Debbie Lim.

And she's made her feelings
about the group very clear.

So, with two votes,

..Helen Tudor-Fisk!

Welcome, Helen!

Well done, Bradbury!
Yay. Should I make a speech?

No, no.

Extraordinary.

Hey, Murray.

Morning, two-face.

Jeez, you really sold me
down the river, didn't ya?

Oh, come on. The kid's 12 years old.

What do you care?
It's a few thousand bucks.

Oh, a few thousand bucks is it,
Miss Moneybags?

Well, I rang the ombudsman
to complain.

What did the ombudsman say?

Not enough evidence.

Mm.

I don't know if you're
a clever arsehole or a lucky one.

Porque no los dos?

Come on, buddy.

All done?

Excellent.

Now, there is $50 for the lawnmowing

and a $5 tip

'cause I'm nicer than that guy.

Thank you, Helen.

Now, remember - don't accept
anything but cash in future.

Hi, guys.

Mind if I join?

Ooh.

It's pretty hot in here.

I'm, uh...

..Helen Tudor-Fisk.

I do wills and probate.

If you've ever
got any clients that...

..need that. Helen Tudor-Fisk.

I'm not gonna get my balls out,

if that's OK with everyone.
