03x13 - Episode 13

[bunniefuu]

Have you ever heard
of nose-to-tail dining?

The whole animal - entrails and all.
Lucky for us, it's goat night.

I thought maybe just a quick drink.

MAN: I was hoping
to surprise you with him.

I reckon you need
a friend right now,

and I'm more than happy
to be that friend,

but if you ever wanted
to be more than friends,

you know I'd wait.

(NASALLY) Phoebe, will you barry me?

Yes, I will 'barry' you...
Really?

..on one condition.

Come on, baby.
We're going on an adventure.

Hey, Justin, I know you're not big
on talking about your feelings,

but you must be missing Lucy.

The Licencing Commission
wanna cancel our liquor licence,

and shut us down.

You guys lose your licence,
what next?

I don't know what I'll do.
I love this place.

I'll meet you at the commission.
I've got a business meeting.

This is a business meeting!
I'll meet you at the hearing.

I'm not gonna be long.

Chin-chin.

That is the best whisky
I think I've ever tasted.

Well, we can't go in without him.
He's the bloody licensee!

Oh! You reek of booze.

SPEAKERS: Mr Mark Oliver, room five.

I gotta go to the toilet.
Mark, you OK?

(RETCHES)
Go, stall 'em.

I'll have him out in a minute.
He's coming, Your Honour.

He's just got
a bit of a stomach bug.

Failure to appear means
I have no choice, but to...

Sorry, I'm late, sir. Thank you
very much for your patience.

I'm the licensee, Mark Oliver.

All right, take your place
behind the table.

Thank you, Mr Oliver.
Yeah, no worries.

And, please, call me Mark.

So, as licensee of The Mill Hotel,

you have made application to have
your license revocation overturned.

Yeah, exactly.

So, can you outline your grounds
for the application, please?

He's not very comfortable
talking in public, Your Honour.

I need to hear from the licensee.

(MAN COUGHS)

We're just a bunch of blokes
running a local pub,

where everyone's welcome
for a pint and a chat.

No pokies, no overpriced wine list,
no fancy fit-outs.

Just a, er...

..daggy carpet
and a nod to the 's.

The community loves us,
because we love them.

We run raffles for the local footy
teams, ballet drinks for the mums,

and there's a veal parmy and a beer
with your name on it, Commissioner.

(MAN CLEARS THROAT)

But not 'on the house', of course,
because that would be corruption.

We've learnt from our mistakes,
the noise is under control,

and I'll be asking for your ID
when you come in.

If you shut us down, then you'll
be shutting down a way of life,

a community spirit,
that you and I both know

is already dying everywhere.

Sorry. Who are you?

That's Ned.

His son.
I had him young.

Sorry for the interruption, sir.
Ned's a casual at the pub.

Ned, this is a tribunal.
MARK: No...

You can't just wander in here.

Hey, Ned,
just a word outside, thank you.

Now, come on. Let's go. Outside.

Sorry for the interruption, sir.
Employees, no respect.

Where were we?

He can't be me!
Why not?

That's identity theft.
He's sober, and he's here on time.

He's like the new
and improved version of you.

I'm sorry I'm late, OK,
but I actually got a job offer.

Oh, great. Congratulations.

I'm not gonna take it.
I'm committed to the pub.

Oh, yeah, and we're really feeling
that commitment, Mark.

I said I was sorry.
You missed the hearing.

They made me drink whisky.
They made you?

How about this guy?
Yeah.

LEWIS: The commission
is gonna let us know tomorrow.

That he loved him.

Commended him
on his community spirit.

You were awesome in there, mate.
Hey, listen, mate. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to steal any of your
thunder. I was just trying to help.

All good. Thank you.

Yeah, well, don't thank me
till tomorrow.

Wait and see if you guys
can hold on to your licence.

Gemma.

Why haven't you
been answering your phone?

I was in there...
Phoebe has eloped.

They didn't wanna get married
around people who are fighting.

Well, who's fighting?
I'm not fighting.

You're fighting now.
This is ridiculous.

She's years old.
They're in love.

We're going after them
to stop them, right?

Wrong.

What?

If two people wanna get married,
they should.

But...
You know what?

Ryan is the most beautiful boy
in the world, and he adores her,

and she adores him,
even if she doesn't admit it.

I just feel terrible
that we're ruining it for them.

It's the most important day
of their lives.

They should be surrounded
by family and friends.

We're gonna go after them,
all right,

but we're gonna convince
them to have it at home.

So, you're all for this?
Of course.

Isn't that a bit weird,
given what's going on between us?

I'm not anti-marriage, Lewis.
I'm just anti-marriage to you.

So, we've tracked the e-Tag
to the Essex Freeway.

Who's 'we'?

G'day, guys.

The kids have got my car,
so Damo drove the kombi.

Told her I'll have to teach her
how to drive a manual one day.

I tried. She doesn't like it.

I never said that.
Yes, you did.

Anyhow, look, I'll jump a tram,

unless there's anything else
I can do for you.

No, thanks, mate.

Thank you for driving,
and thank you for the gift.

I'll call.
And I'll scoot.

Hello?

Is anyone home?

Gemma?

Hello?

School pick-up only takes a minute,
then I'll drop you at the pub.

Yeah. No worries. Nice school.

Right. Well, I'll just wait here.

Oh, Poppy comes down from her school
and meets me.

What, she doesn't go here?
Nuh. She goes to a private school.

Oh.

Hello, darling. Hey.

How was school?

Can I go in and see my friends?
Oh, they're not out yet.

We should probably get home.

I haven't seen them all day.
I miss them.

Yeah, I know. You got new friends
now at your new school.

It's not the same.

A reminder - photo day this week.

I need all children
in full school uniform.

Thank you.

Hey, buddy.
That's a pretty cool wombat.

You wanna sell it?
Hey, Ned. I don't think that's cool.

Do you know this kid?
Nup.

But I tell you what,
bet you he likes sunnies, eh?

What do you think?

They're pretty cool, huh?
Er, Ned...

I'll trade you the sunnies
for the wombat.

What? Ned?
OK, deal.

Deal! Awesome.

Show us.

Oh, you're looking pretty cool.

See you, dude.
What just happened?

Hey, I don't think you can do that.
Why not?

I'll go deliver this.
I'll see you guys later.

Ned!

Alex.

Hey.
Hi. You probably just saw that.

Hmm.
He's a friend.

He doesn't really know
kids that well.

Yeah. We'll get 'em back.

The wombat.

Swapped it for the sunnies.

Designer?
Plastic.

Plastic sunglasses
for a second-hand wombat?

Seems like a fair trade, hey.

(MOBILE PHONE BEEPS)

Lucy's back.

Hey, guys.

Finger buns for afternoon tea.

Yum!

I got one for you too
to celebrate your new job.

I got your text.

When I sent that, I was, er...

I was a little bit... (MOUTHS)
Hmm.

I'm not gonna take it.

The job. The guys'd k*ll me.

If everything works out at the pub,
they're gonna need me, so...

And you've already got
your own company.

Yeah, but, sweetie,
this would be a huge opportunity.

Dad would be working for a super big
company, head of marketing.

The full title's actually
'head of marketing, Asia Pacific'.

Hear that? Dad would be
in charge of a whole region.

In the industry, we call it
'A-Pac', Asia Pacific.

When you got a lot going on,
you gotta keep things brief.

Of course you do.
Have a celebratory finger bun.

How do you think, erm,
Justin will be?

Do you think... do you think
he'll be cool with it?

Justin will be fine.

(EXHALES)

Hey!
Hey!

Oh.

It's a nice surprise.

I know. I got the craziest message
from Phoebe.

Yeah. She's getting hitched.

I felt like it was something
a sister should be there for.

Well, you better hurry.
It might've started by now.

I wanted to see you first.

I've missed you.

I missed you too.
And the kids? How are they?

Yeah. They're good.
They're getting big.

Thank you for telling me
to see the world.

It was so hard to leave,

but I've never felt so free,
as in South America.

You know, my time away
has really made me realise

that I'm way too young
to settle down.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

I'll never forget that it was you
that bought me that ticket.

We can still be friends, can't we?

That's not weird or anything.
Friends?

That's what I thought.

Really?
(EXHALES) Yeah.

Oh.

This is it?

RYAN: Yep.
Welcome to Sunrise Waters.

This is where we're taking
our wedding vows?

Yeah.

Where's the water?

What?
It's called Sunrise Waters.

Where's the water?

Well, maybe there was water once,
but it dried up.

It was the cheapest registry.

When you said Sunrise Waters, I was
picturing us on a romantic beach.

Long stretches of white sand,
us looking amazing.

Me, anyway.
You do look amazing.

It was really expensive

to get the registry celebrant
to leave the building,

but we've got
free biscuits and cordial,

plus I've packed us a ham sandwich
to keep our energy up.

I thought you didn't want a fuss.

(SIGHS) Oh.

What are you doing?
I've got cold feet.

What?

Well, we're nearly there.
It's just around the corner.

Right.
(MOBILE PHONE BEEPS)

Is that them?

No. It's just Damo,
checking if we got here OK.

Oh, isn't that nice of him?
Yep.

What was the gift?
Sorry?

You thanked him for a gift.

He gave me a Buddha.
A what?

A statue of Buddha.

Did you need one?

It's not something someone needs.

Bit of a dud gift, then.

No, it's not a dud gift, actually.
It's lovely.

It goes in the garden.
Help me relax.

So, he thinks you're not relaxed.
No.

I don't think
that's what he's saying.

Right.

So, what do you think he's saying?

OK. I'm going.
What?

I'll get the train back
or something.

We're nearly there!
You know what?

I am not gonna go with you
if you're gonna be like this.

Like what?
We'll find these kids.

Convince them to have their wedding
in a place where people don't argue.

Yeah?
Well, that's all you do!

No, I don't.

Have you any idea how pathetic

this whole Damo jealousy thing is,
anyway?

I'm not jealous...
Oh!

..because if I was, that'd mean
I'd have a reason to be jealous.

Do I have a reason?

(SHOUTS) Phoebe! Come back!

I love you!

Ryan! Hey, Ryan!

Stop!

Can I offer you a ham sandwich,
Mr and Mrs Crabb?

No, thanks, Ryan.

So, I guess it didn't turn out?

Sunrise Waters is a hole.

It wasn't that bad.

It was windy, and it was cold,
and there was no water.

It might've been warm
inside the registry,

but you refused to stay.

It's because it smelt
like old people.

Oh, well, maybe it's a good thing.

I shouldn't need to tell you guys.

Once you're married,
there's bigger bumps in the road

than a cold day in a registry
that smells of old people.

It's better to know now.

Hang on. Just because I hate Sunrise
Waters doesn't mean I hate Ryan.

He's Ryan. I love his guts.

That's not gonna change
no matter where we are.

But you had cold feet.

About eloping,
not about marrying you.

Look, I know I said I didn't wanna
make a fuss, but I changed my mind.

I was just trying
to be sensitive to you and Dad,

splitting up and everything.

I spent $ on this dress.

I wanna show it off now.
Now?

How quickly
can you organise a real wedding?

A wedding in hours?

Yep.
Of course I'm cooking.

They'll need wine, glasses, chairs.

I'll take the first batch
over this arvo.

So, how are things going with Lucy?

Yeah, great.
You know, decided to be friends.

Oh.

What are you guys doing?
What does it look like?

Mate, they suspended your licence,
or did you forget about that bit?

Yeah. They'll make a decision
in hours, then we'll need beer.

Yeah, if they don't shut us down.
They won't shut us down.

Well, always good to be confident.

You stole a wombat.

Mate, I didn't steal a wombat.

I negotiated for the wombat
for my son's birthday.

You've got a kid?
Yeah. He turns four today.

Turns five today.
Five, four - one of those.

Hey, working hard?

Yeah.

Look, I was thinking, erm,
if everything works out,

and we get our licence back,
I might, erm...

..keep myself at arm's length,
as far as the pub goes.

You know what I mean?
No.

I wouldn't take a wage. Maybe Ned
could have a few more hours.

Oh, cheers, mate.
Why is that?

Oh, as you know, I got an offer.

A job offer?
Hmm.

The one you weren't meant to take?
Yeah.

Funny how, er...

Funny how life evolves.

See, the problem is, you know,

being licensee,
you really need to be around.

I know. I'd still keep my hand in.
You need to give a toss!

I do.
I'm not really seeing that, Mark.

Justin.

And since Ned
did a better job at being you,

maybe we need
to make that permanent.

He can be licensee.

Well, hang on. I don't want
to step on anyone's toes.

We don't need
to make any decisions just yet.

No, no. No, it's good
that we sort it out.

I'll see you later.

Thanks for driving.
That's all right.

That was a great speech you gave
to Phoebe, too, about marriage,

about needing to be prepared
for the bumps in the road.

Ours weren't bumps, Lewis.

They were mountains.
Yeah, big bumps.

No, they were mountains
that you climb with someone else.

Well, that's a lot of metaphors,
Gemma. I'm a little confused.

You slept with your ex!
All right.

And I said I...

Oh. I see what this is all about
with Damo - revenge.

You think I'm that lacking in class?

(CHUCKLES DERISIVELY)
That's you, remember?

Outrageous that you think
this is about revenge.

I'm not about to jump into bed
with the first guy that comes along.

Damo has said
that he is willing

to wait a couple of months
to see how I feel,

and if you wanna know,
that feels pretty nice.

Oh, does it?
It does.

Hello!

Hey! Aww.

Hi, Dad.
Hello, darling.

(CAR HORN HONKS)
Mum, Dad, Phoebe's getting married.

I know!
I'm going to be flower girl.

Hello!
Hey, sis.

Look at you!
Lovely to see you.

Lovely, isn't it, eh,
everybody here together?

(DRYLY) Yeah, yeah.

(ENTHUSIASTICALLY) Yeah!

The whole g*ng's here, eh?
Damo.

Just making sure
you got back all right.

Yeah, we did.

Phoebe's getting married.
(GASPS) Really?

Here, this time tomorrow.
Tomorrow.

Yep.
Fantastic. So, heaps of time, then?

Heaps.
Need a hand?

No. We're good.

Well, I've just had Mum's th,
remember,

so I got the trestle tables,
the tablecloths, the chairs.

That'd be amazing, thank you.

No, thank you.
That will be fantastic.

Thank you so much
for looking after Sophie today.

It's a pleasure. She is adorable.

We have actually had some good news.

Mark's been made
head of Asia Pacific.

Oh, great!

Yeah, so we're gonna need to
increase her days from : to :.

What day doesn't she come?
Thursday.

Thursdays are our most popular day.

Oh, we really need this.

There's a three-year waiting list
for Thursdays.

In three years, she won't be here.
She'll be at preschool.

Yeah. Well, we might have a Monday.

We've already got a Monday.
Bummer.

Ah.

Erm, this is a really great centre.

I don't know
if I've said that enough,

and you know what occurs to me all
the time is how hard you guys work,

and how completely undervalued
you are, not that I undervalue...

In fact, just hold her for a second.

I would like to give you this,
as a token of my appreciation.

You bribed the childcare worker?
I don't know what I was thinking.

My brain exploded.
Yeah!

I did it for Sophie.

I've read between this -
mothers doing unusual heroic acts,

like lifting cars,
to save their child.

Well, there's not much heroism
in bribery, is there?

(SIGHS) What did she say?

She might've kicked us out.
She what?

Just calm down, OK?
We'll think of something.

Erm, did she eat any of this?

No. I cook it for her, she throws it
on the floor and then I clean it up.

What were you thinking?

I start my job tomorrow,
and we have no childcare.

We'll call Gemma.

She's organising a wedding.
Kane.

He's cooking it.
Justin?

Hates me.
I'll think of something, trust me!

Hi!
Hey.

Wow. This is embarrassing.

Oh, Phoebe's got me
trying on bridesmaid's dresses.

This one's a little bit
over-the-top.

No, no. You look amazing.

Glasses.
Great. Go through.

I should warn you,
things are a little tense.

Can you wait till I finish sweeping

before you bring
all the furniture out?

You can sweep around it, can't you?
No.

JUSTIN: Got the glasses.
Oh, thank you, Justin.

Will you put them in
on the bench for me?

Yeah, sure.

I'm thinking this is gonna be
the official table.

We should probably just
have the chairs straight along...

Shouldn't we let Phoebe decide
how she wants it,

seeing it's her wedding?

I don't care either way.

As long as I'm the centre
of attention, I'm happy.

Yes.

Well, that thing's gotta go.

Why?
I like it.

It's, er, peaceful.

Ryan, do you like it?

Yeah, yeah.

No, no.
I'm... I'm happy, either way.

Someone will trip over it.
No-one's gonna trip over it.

Watch it, Lewis. That's heavy.

Please don't pick that up, Lewis.
I'm warning you.

Oh!

Oh, no!

I can fix it. It's just the head.
I can fix that.

Lewis, don't bother.
No. It's just the head.

I can get it.

We've got hours
to organise this wedding.

We're gonna be better off
without you.

What's that?
Don't ask.

Hang on, you can't put that there.
Why not?

Because it'll scratch the bar.
What are you, the boss now?

Well...

What?
I promoted Ned to licensee.

So, Mark's gone.

Did you sack him

because of everything
that's wrong in your own life,

or did he deserve it?

He wanted out.

Is that straight?

Yeah. I think so.

Maybe it needs to be a little bit...
No. Too late.

Right.
It's stuck.

Yeah. It's stuck.

I'm sorry it didn't work out
with Lucy.

No, she's...

She's happy. It's good.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Sometimes, you've gotta
let things go.

You're gluing heads on statues.

Maybe it's time
for you to let go too.

You said you'd sort it.

I tried, but it's the intern exams,
and I'm the only examiner.

Look, I only have to go to the
hospital for a couple of hours.

You want me to be late
on my first day?

Poppy, can you hurry up and...?

Why are you wearing
your Nepean South uniform?

I decided to go back.
(MUMBLES)

You can't do that, darling.

Why not?
You're an Avery College girl now.

You made a commitment
to that school.

I changed my mind.
It doesn't work like that, Pops.

It's about loyalty.
You made a commitment to Avery.

You can't just change your mind.

You did. You quit the pub,
and started a new job.

That's different.
Yes.

Why? It's photo day
in Nepean South tomorrow.

Every year, Stella, Tilda, Zac,

Jacob and I have been
in the same class.

Yep.

And every year,
we've been in the same photo.

Yes.
I have to be in the L photo.

They're my best friends.
It's a tradition.

(KNOCKING)

Thanks for the statue.

Yeah.

I know the head's a bit crooked,
but I'd already glued it, so it's...

Look, I still need your help
with the wedding. It's just...

Not here.
Yeah.

We need some wine, some red.

Look, would you mind
if Kane took Tilly to school?

There's something I wanna show you.

See you, Dad!
Love you!

Gentlemen, ready for school photo
day? Shoes polished.

Oh, they will be.
I think I'll wear green.

Oh, lovely.
That's my favourite colour.

Really? Alex loves green.

OK, erm, I don't wanna be rude,
Ms Looby,

but just because Alex is a...
h*m*.

Exactly.
And you are too.

It doesn't mean
we're going to hit it off.

Lots of people make this mistake.

Just like any couple,
there needs to be a connection.

But of course there does.
You two are perfect for each other.

You're just too stupid
to realise it.

(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)

Before you say anything,
just hear me out.

Poppy has been the saddest she
has ever been in her entire life.

OK, I'm sensing
some emotional blackmail here.

Can you just go on one more date
with Ms Looby's nephew, please?

You have got to be kidding me.

Yeah, I rented it
a couple of weeks back,

but I've been a bit slow,
getting set up.

It's got a bedroom for me
and one for Phoebe,

if she and Ryan wanna stay in it,

and I'm getting this one ready
for Tilda.

I got a few things
to make her feel at home, and...

..I hope she likes the bed cover,

but you're better at that stuff
than I am.

What?

How often do you think
she's staying over?

Well, I don't know. That's
a conversation we'll have to have.

Half the time? Not straight away.
We can build up to it.

I thought you'd be happy.
I'm trying to move on.

This can't happen.

I know there's lots of kids who
thrive living between two parents,

but Tilda's not one of them.

She's had too much change already.

What does that mean for me?
I'm her father.

What, I get to see her up the school
gate mornings and afternoon,

and that's it?

I'm not saying
that she won't stay over.

But you're saying
I'll never live with my daughter.

Cashew?
Yeah.

Is this a date?
Er, yeah.

Interesting venue.

I'm sorry it's so close to the
school. I'm in a bit of a hurry.

To get over Will.

You guys split up, right?

No chemistry?
Well, there was chemistry.

He was using me to buy the pub.

That doesn't seem like chemistry.

Actually, it was. I liked him a lot.

Seems like you were trying
to invent the chemistry

to convince yourself you liked him,
cos he fits the mould.

What mould?

Good job, wears a suit,
got a kid, doesn't eat goat.

I didn't mind the goat.

You hated the goat.

OK, nose-to-tail dining
isn't my thing.

No. You take your dates
to park benches.

Look, I asked you here quickly
for a favour.

My niece, Poppy - she wants
to return to Nepean South,

and given your connection with Ms
Looby, I thought maybe you could...

Use me the same way
that Will used you.

No. No, no. I...

That goat was wasted on you.

(SIGHS) Kane, how'd it go?

I can't help you.

He dumped me.

What's the problem?
I thought all kids liked teddies.

Oh, stuffed toy - same thing.

No. It's just a wombat.

I don't understand
why you're yelling about it.

No, don't...

Well, he didn't like the wombat.

What?
My kid.

Apparently, it's too babyish.

I don't understand. He looks
exactly like the kid I got it off.

What?

You thought just because your son

looks like some random kid in the
playground, he'd like wombats too?

Righto.
Well, I don't know.

I don't know him.

I haven't been around.
Why not?

Oh, coming from you,
that's pretty rich there, Dad.

You have an opportunity
to be part of your son's life.

You'd be a bloody idiot
not to take it.

What's his problem?
Does he play footy?

Who? Lewis?
No. Your son.

Oh, I don't know.

So, why don't you buy him a ball,
take him to the park,

and kick it around with him
from time to time?

So much more than a present.

I put the wine inside.

GEMMA: Oh, thank you.

I'll... I'll take these in, eh?

Gemma.

If you really don't want Tilly
to live with me, I understand,

and I'm not gonna fight you.

I wouldn't do that to either of you.

I'm sorry.

Dad.

I think the dad's
supposed to give the bride away,

or something like that.

Yeah, that's usually
the way it goes.

Well, I don't really care
either way,

but, erm, maybe
we should just run with that.

OK, then.

Sorry, we're closed.
What?

You can't be shut.
I need to see someone.

He says he comes here all the time.

Yeah, well, he's not here right now.
We're closed.

That'd be right.

The day I need a drink
more than ever,

and you decide to shut your pub.

There is no doubt

that Traders Hardware
has cornered its male market,

and this is reflected in its sales.

But what about
the female demographic?

The single mum, for example.

What if she were the new face
of the Traders campaign?

(BABY CRIES)

They're happy noises.

Mark, a word.

Sorry about her.

Abi had to supervise an exam,
and I thought she'd be back by now.

This isn't normal.

I know this is the first day, and
it looks like a sort of a pattern,

but, well, she won't be
joining me again.

Good.
OK.

Mark, these new ideas that
you're bringing to the table -

it feels like I haven't seen
them before.

Great.

There is such a thing as 'too new'.

You hear what I'm saying?

Not... not really.

We already have a brand.

You said I'd have creative freedom.
That's why you brought me in.

I'm the ideas man, remember?

Absolutely, and you report to me,
and I decide if I like your ideas,

and so far, they're just
not popping for me.

Keep trying.

Sorry, I couldn't do better
than a sparkling water.

Sorry I yelled at you.

That's all right.

So, what happens
if you don't get your licence back?

I don't know.
Be a shame. It's a good pub.

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

I should get going.

OK. Well, I hope
you find your friend.

Oh, probably a good thing I didn't.
Really?

I'm not sure he wants to find me.

Why is that?

He's not really
the settling down type.

Right. Yeah, I know one of those.

Why can't people
just know what they want?

I don't know.

Thank you so much for seeing me.
You got five minutes.

When you suspended Poppy,
I may have overreacted.

You usually do.

I regret taking her
out of the school.

It's good to admit our mistakes.

I'm always telling the children
to do that.

We'd like her back in.

Absolutely. As I said, next year.

Poppy so wants to be
in the photo tomorrow.

What a shame.

I didn't know
you were justice of the peace.

I have many civic duties.
I'm also a registered celebrant.

Really?

Unfortunately,
there's a bit of a glut.

A lot of new-age types
getting into it.

I don't get many opportunities.

Erm, that was...

..weird.
Nice.

Both.
Yeah.

You know, you probably
won't believe me,

but I have never done that before.

Yeah, right.
With a stranger.

Yeah.

I've had all this stuff
going on with this guy,

and it's turned me into a weirdo.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to apologise.

What is that?

Ah, it's a wombat. It's my son's.

Wombat?

Er, that's Ned's.

You know Ned?
Yeah, I know Ned.

He's a... he's a friend. He's
a mate. He works here, lives here.

I didn't know.

He just said he comes here all the
time, and that I should come by.

We're not together, together.

OK, so maybe you should go.

Frankie.

Hey.
Hi.

Er, I just went to see you
at your sister's.

Oh, well, I came here to find you.
Yeah, she just walked in.

Oh, so you two met?

Yep.
We did.

Yeah, just like...
Right then.

Literally.

I didn't mean to use you.

I-I'm not the using type.

It was actually for my sister,

so not really 'my use',
if that makes sense.

I don't want you
to take this the wrong way,

but when we first met,
I thought you were a little odd.

But now that I've gotten
to know you,

I think that I might be the odd one,

or maybe both of us are.

It doesn't matter.

The point is, is that I
wanna make it up to you.

Everything. Me using you,
dumping you,

taking you to the park
for a date,

my scepticism regarding the goat.

There's a wedding on this arvo,
and I want you to come.

No hidden agenda.

Just... good food, good times.

(SOFTLY) You're not supposed to talk
in the library.

(BACKGROUND FESTIVE MUSIC)

Thank you for the vases.
Thank you for the favour.

You OK?

Yeah.

Here he is. Looking good, Finn.

Oh, awesome tip, by the way, man.

What tip?
The present - the ball.

Beautiful.
No problems.

Hey.

You made it. Hey, mate!
BOY: Hi.

He's thirsty. Do you think you
could get him something to drink?

Yeah, yeah, sure. What do you want,
buddy? You want beer or wine?

I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

Come on, buddy.

Look, I don't know
what you must think of me.

Honestly, it's fine.

Ned's started making the effort
for the first time.

He got Sam a ball for his birthday,

not that that's a big deal
or anything,

but made a date to kick it
around with him every Wednesday.

It's a big step forward.
That's great.

Well, who knows if it'll last?

But I have to see if it can work,
you know, for Sam's sake.

LUCY: Hi.

Hi.

Lucy, this is...
Frankie.

..Frankie.

My brother is a very lucky man.

Oh.

Hey.
Hey.

Did you hear what your wife did?
I did.

Thanks for going along with it.

Hey, erm, I saw...

..I saw Damo outside.

He's not sure whether to come in.

OK.

This is just a little something
for Phoebe and Ryan.

Oh.

You know, just wish 'em
all the best.

It's lovely.

And this - this is for you.

A lotus flower.

That is beautiful.

Well, I just figured, you know,

with the statue
getting damaged and everything...

Well, that's fixed.

I know, but I thought you could use
a bit more serenity in the garden.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
Well, I could use more serenity.

I'm just not really sure
that it's me.

Oh.

You have been lovely -
helping me organise the wedding,

introducing me
to yoga and meditation.

How's that going for you?
Not great.

You know, I'm not really sure I
wanna clear my mind of all thoughts.

I kinda like 'em all jiggling around
in there, you know,

just... even the annoying ones.

As for the serenity,
it's lovely and calming,

but I get a bit bored of relaxing.

You know, I really like the noise.

I just...

I don't want you waiting around
for something that's not there.

Hi, Mrs Crabb.

Ryan, is everything all right?
Can we talk?

Yeah.

Happy wedding day, mate.

OK. I'm calling a group meeting.

Oh, what now?

I've got an announcement to make.

I've, erm...

I've quit my job.
You're kidding!

On the first day?
They're not my people.

You're my people.

I know, sometimes,
I need to be reminded of that,

but, well, if you'll have me back...

(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)
Oh, sorry. It's them.

It's the commission.
Well, answer it.

I'm not Mark Oliver.
Here, you have to do it, mate.

Hey, they can't see you.
(RINGING CONTINUES)

Hello.

Mm-hm.

Yep.

The Mill is back in business.

(CHEERING)
Yes!

Oh, look, only thing is I don't
wanna do the licensee thing.

I am over it.

And as you're the only one
without a criminal record, Ned,

it's up to you.

(CHUCKLES) Well,
I wasn't serious about that.

The only reason I said yes

was because I thought you guys
were rooted.

What are you gonna do now?
You got a family to support.

I got a place right near the pub,

a few spare bedrooms,
if you're interested.

Fellas, we got a bit
of a runaway groom situation.

Do you have an ace?

Go fish.
We're on?

We got a bit of a delay.
Nothing to worry about.

Mark's late. Typical.

OK. We'll just
keep playing card games, then.

Great idea.
TILDA: Do you have a queen?

LEWIS: That's it?
That's why you wanna run?

Shall we listen in?
Of course we should.

It's exactly the same jacket.

Why'd you go and do that?

Well, it's got nothing
to do with me.

Abi chooses my clothes
to make me look... younger.

Look, I'll just take it off.
It's all right.

It's a sign.
I can't go through with this.

Face it, Mr Crabb.

If you can't pull off a marriage,
what chance do I have?

Ryan, look, I'm probably

not the right person
for you to compare yourself with.

You're the closest thing
I've ever had to a dad.

Yeah, but I got a lot more flaws
than you have, mate.

He does.
Shut up, Kane.

Gemma backs you.

What?

When I heard you guys
were getting married, I wasn't sure.

Actually, I thought
it was a dumb idea,

but Gemma -

well, she thinks
you're perfect for each other.

She said that?
That's enough for me.

And Phoebe's my daughter,

so that should be enough for you.

She's too good for me, OK?

She's Phoebe! She's gorgeous!

She's funny, she's smart...
She's a woman.

Yeah, they package 'em better.
They look better.

They smell better.

They're insane,
yeah, but in a good way.

We're not worthy.

You just gotta hope

you get to spend the rest of your
life with the woman you love...

..before she figures it out.

Well, I don't have a ring.
I've got one.

What, you just walk around, carrying
wedding rings in your pocket?

Yeah, I like to come prepared.

Right. Shall we do this thing?
Let's go.

My man.
MARK: OK, let's get you married.

You were right.

What you said in there
about being flawed.

You are the most flawed person
that I've ever met.

Did you mean to kiss me?

You were willing to give up living
with your little girl just for me,

and as it turns out,
I can't live without you.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

KANE: I'm glad you made it.

Hey, this is nice.

When does Poppy go to school?
Tomorrow.

Back in Ms Looby's class.

You are very good.
I know.

MAN: All right.

(GASPING)

MS LOOBY: Marriage
is a spiritual union.

It's also a physical union,
which is, really, more important.

Did she just say 'more important'?
Yeah.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

You may now kiss the bride.

Come on, you can do
better than that.

(LAUGHTER)

(CHEERING)

Oh!
Yeah!
