00:00Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours
00:05With a little understanding
00:08You can find the perfect blend
00:14Neighbours should be there for one another
00:21That's when good neighbours become good
00:29Friend
00:31And now, here I am alone
00:36Too much of a woman for you, Harry boy
00:39Perhaps
00:40And it's Harold
00:42Alright then, Harold
00:44Come on, we've got our marching orders
00:45Hey, Lloyd, I'm for you, Wally
00:47Go and drip on the petunias
00:54Beg for me, bouncer
00:56Roll over, then
00:58Well
00:59Play, Dad
01:01Oh, you are a good boy, aren't you?
01:04Yes
01:05Would you like a treat?
01:07Yes, I'm sure you would
01:09There you go
01:10Oh, bouncer, come on, quickly
01:12I've got to go outside
01:13Come on, outside you're a good boy
01:17Sorry
01:18Oh
01:20Oh, Mr. Bishop
01:22Surely it's not me
01:24It is coming to you, I see it here
01:29Down in buckets, Mrs. Mangle
01:34And just where do you think you're going?
01:36I'm going to my room to change
01:38You most certainly cannot do that
01:40You drip all over my good couple
01:41Well, you don't expect me to change here in the hallway
01:43Well, I suppose not
01:45I suppose not
01:46Oh
01:47Wasn't it a captain?
01:48Oh, that roughneck carpenter and I had a small disagreement on Madge's front lawn
01:54And we earned her disapproval
01:58Oh
01:59At least he got just as drenched as I did
02:02Not seemed to worry I wouldn't see him
02:05It's dreadful, you know
02:06The way that woman makes a spectacle of herself
02:09I rather think she made a spectacle of myself
02:11And carpenter
02:13Not that he needs any help
02:15That bowtember of hers will be her undoing one day
02:18You mark my words
02:19Do you mind if I go into my room to change now?
02:21Well, of course
02:22You mustn't stand around in damp clothes
02:24You could end up with pneumonia
02:26Well, thank you
02:28That's very useful advice
02:34Thank you
02:36Come on, come on
02:37Outside
02:38How's the point to you?
02:39If all the stuff she sees you, off you go
02:47You sure haven't lost your touch, Ralph
02:49That's the funniest thing I've seen in ages
02:51I think Harold's expression really made it for me
02:54And they didn't seem put off at all
02:56Which is great, I reckon
02:57It's about time we had a millionaire in the family
02:59That's not the point, Charlie
03:00When it comes to marriage
03:01You don't consider money
03:02Just as well, eh?
03:04Otherwise you'd never have ended up with me
03:05When you're a famous writer
03:07We might have a few extra dollars to throw around
03:09I doubt it
03:10I think mechanics make better money than writers do
03:12Oh, I just try to just fly on the handle so easily
03:16What, with those two carrying on like pork chops
03:18And then to find out that your fiancé's dear Georgette
03:21Well, at least you got rid of all your agro
03:23Yes, I suppose so
03:25Anyway, it's not such a big deal, is it?
03:27What?
03:28Well, dear Georgette
03:29Yes, Scott, it is a big deal
03:31Because Harold kept it a secret from me
03:33Well, if you were dear Georgette
03:35Would you go around telling everybody?
03:36Charlene, you know how upset you get when Scott keeps secrets from you
03:39You wonder what else he's not telling you
03:41Evening all
03:42If you've got a minute, Henry
03:43We can sort out splitting up this gardening business
03:45Sorry, Tom, I haven't got a minute
03:47I'm back on at the water hole at seven
03:49You're not rostered on tonight
03:50I know, but Paul asked me to give Ron a hand
03:53So...
03:54Anyway, I've got to have a quick shower
03:55Well, what are you going to wear?
03:56Well, my first settlement get up
03:58No, you're not
03:59Both shirts are in the wash
04:00Oh, the end of a perfect day
04:02Now I've got to have to get sacked for not wearing my uniform
04:05I'm sorry, Henry
04:06Well, it's okay, you didn't know I was working
04:08Because I didn't even know I was working
04:10Well, why can't you just wash a shirt and bung it in the dryer?
04:13Well, that's all very well, but he hasn't got time to wait for it
04:16You, um...
04:18You could always drop it over to me, Mum
04:20Huh
04:21Alright, go and have a shower
04:22Thanks, Mum
04:23Yes, it certainly would have been a bit rich, eh?
04:25Getting the flick twice in one day
04:31Yeah, I've got a good feeling about Luke Havender
04:34I'm sure he's got the same feeling about us
04:36Yeah, let's hope so
04:37I mean, he's got the capital, we have the expertise
04:41And of course, I have the silver tun
04:43Come on, I thought we agreed that it was a team effort
04:46Even if it was me that showed him through all the books
04:49He wouldn't even have got to the books if I hadn't charmed him through the front door
04:53Yeah?
04:54Hmm
04:55I wouldn't have got to the books at all if you'd been charming me
04:57Get that look out of your eye, Paul, this is business
04:59Yeah, I mean business
05:04You know, we should have a day off sometime
05:06You know what they say, all work and no play
05:10Hello
05:13Mind me to continue this later, will you?
05:14Sounds fine to me
05:15Yeah
05:16Yeah
05:20I'm back, you lucky boy
05:22Crystal, hi
05:26Now, if we're calling off the partnership, there's a few things that have to be sorted out
05:29We are not calling it off
05:31You are?
05:32We've got our reasons, Henry
05:33Come on, like this
05:34I am sick and tired of being exploited, okay?
05:36Oh, come on, would you make me sound like a slave trader?
05:38I'm a slave driver, more likely
05:39Would you please keep it down?
05:41You're not going to get anywhere calling each other names
05:43But I never started
05:44Shut up, Henry, and eat your sandwich, you're going to be late for work
05:46I won't, you know
05:48Look, I'll give you back two thirds of what I paid, okay?
05:52No, that's not okay
05:53We made an investment, we're entitled to our cut of the property
05:56Yeah, especially when I work my guts out, Henry
05:58You are not the only one who's worked his guts out, fucker
06:00Oh, don't make me laugh
06:02Put it down
06:03I'm sick of all this bickering
06:05I'm not bickering
06:06No, you're not listening, I am
06:07Hi, Henry, you
06:08Get up, Henry
06:09Now, listen
06:11If you three can't slug it out between yourselves, I suggest you go and find a referee
06:15Like who, for instance?
06:16Oh, I don't know, what about Paul?
06:17Yeah, he knows about this sort of thing
06:19What do you reckon, Henry?
06:21It suits me, okay?
06:23Charlene?
06:24Fine
06:25Right, I'd better get dressed, otherwise I will be late
06:28Good
06:29Now, would you two please go into the living room and let me drink my cup of tea and pizza?
06:33Why don't we go with Henry to the waterhole? We can see if Paul's in his office on the way
06:43Yeah, he should be able to sort it out straight away
06:45And while we're there, why don't we have dinner at Lasseter's?
06:48On Lou's money, I don't think so, Charlene
06:51Oh, come on, Scott
06:52It was a gift, and we haven't eaten out in ages
06:55Yeah, I just don't feel right about it
06:57Please?
06:59Okay, but I'd rather not blow that one
07:02Fifty bucks in one here
07:03Why don't we have a can of tea at the waterhole?
07:05You betcha
07:07The next time I open my mouth, it should be to ask a few questions
07:11No harm done
07:13There might have been
07:14I am sorry, I thought you were still an open couple
07:17Ah, no, Crystal, we're very close now
07:20Let's put it this way, we're, uh, faithful
07:23Oh, I see
07:24Well, how nice
07:27Oh, Lou, g'day
07:28Oh, Gail
07:29Why, hello
07:30Oh, Lou, this is an old friend of mine, Crystal
07:33Well, a friend of ours, actually
07:35Delighted, Crystal
07:36Shall we, uh, step inside?
07:38Yeah, good idea
07:39Lou?
07:40Hmm?
07:41Will you excuse us a moment, Crystal? Mind if I freshen up?
07:43Not at all
07:44Nice meeting you
07:45Hmm?
07:46Now, look, kids, I hope you don't mind
07:48Today's been a washout for me
07:49Can we pick up on this tomorrow?
07:50I know it's sunny and everything, but, you know, it's not a problem at all
07:53Well, why don't you join us for lunch, and then we can make all this a bit more informal
07:56That'll be great
07:57Strange you're in a strange city and all that
07:59Gets a bit lonely
08:00Actually, I've had a draft contract drawn up
08:03If you get the chance, you might look it over
08:05Sure thing
08:06And take your time, Lou, don't feel pressured
08:08I mean, after all we are talking about water
08:10What?
08:11Four million dollars chicken for you, honey?
08:13Well, shall we say about, uh, about one?
08:16Sure thing
08:17Well, it's lovely to see you again, Paul Gail
08:19Yes
08:20I suppose I'll head off
08:21Terrible, isn't it?
08:22Saturday night and nowhere to go?
08:23Nowhere to go?
08:25You gotta be kidding
08:27Why don't you come to the waterhole with me and we can sink a few cocktails?
08:30Well, Lou, I'm sure you've got better things to do
08:32You're a big businessman
08:33I wouldn't know what to talk about
08:35Well, uh, I'll do the talking, you do the drinking
08:38You with me?
08:39Okay
08:40See you later
08:41See you later
08:42Bye
08:43Bye-bye
08:46Gail, Lou seems keen
08:48He certainly does, and I thought Madge was the apple of his eyes
08:51Hm?
09:01How's it going over there?
09:02Almost finished
09:03Can we put something in the oven for Todd?
09:05You'll be hungry when you get time
09:06Yes, of course
09:07What did he go and see?
09:08Something with Arnold Schwarzenegger
09:10Oh, I thought he was going with Emma
09:12Ah-ha-ha!
09:13Very amusing
09:14You know, I haven't been to see a film in ages
09:17Maybe Todd will take you with him next time
09:19Shall I get Katie in now?
09:21I don't know, not just yet.
09:23She's still sulking over Toad and Emma.
09:25It's all part of growing up, I'm Fred.
09:27Yes, the irritating part.
09:29Sibling rivalries, jealousies.
09:31It ages parents just to be in the same house with kids when they go through that stage.
09:35There's no need for a lecture, Jim.
09:37I wasn't lecturing, I was reflecting.
09:39Kids are a lot of hard work.
09:40I'm aware of that, and I haven't been talking about kids anyway.
09:43I've been talking about a single child.
09:45Delivering other people's children is a lot easier than bringing up your own.
09:49Oh, come on, you two. Katie's already upset.
09:52Do you think she wants to hear you arguing as well?
09:55No.
09:56Then let's discuss this after dinner.
10:03Go on, Bouncer. Go and get it. Go and get it. Go on, Bouncer.
10:06Bouncer, go and get it.
10:08I get it.
10:13They're pretty.
10:14I bet Aunty Beverly had luck on it, though.
10:19What on earth do you think you're doing?
10:21How dare you assault my flowers like that?
10:23This is private property.
10:25I'm sorry.
10:27It was just for Aunty Beverly.
10:28Well, Aunty Beverly should have spoken to me.
10:31I'll put it back.
10:32Don't be ridiculous.
10:35What were you doing over here in the first place, anyway?
10:37I came to play with Bouncer.
10:40Bouncer, you naughty dog.
10:42You know you shouldn't be out in the street.
10:44Is anything the matter, Mrs. Maynall?
10:46There certainly is, Mr. Bishop.
10:48This young rapscallion has taken it upon herself to pick my flowers.
10:52It was just one flower.
10:55It's the principle that's important.
10:58What point in talking and being awesome about principles, Mrs. Maynall?
11:01The girl's hardly been set an example by her brother.
11:04As we've seen in the coffee shop, you'll steal anything that isn't nailed down.
11:07That's not fair.
11:09My brother was only trying to look after me.
11:12So he teaches you to steal?
11:14That food had already been paid for.
11:17Not by your brother, it hadn't.
11:19Anyway, I'm looking to stand around arguing the point with a child.
11:23You'll have a few words with Madge Ramsey.
11:25And I'm going to have a few words with someone else.
11:28Namely, your aunt.
11:30Come along, Katie.
11:37Come in!
11:40Oh, Madge.
11:42I thought I told you to leave me alone.
11:43Yes, you did.
11:44But I thought I would give you the opportunity to apologise.
11:47Aha! Did you really?
11:48Yes, I did.
11:49Because I think that you have acted disgracefully.
11:52Harold, this may not be a bucket of water I have in my hand,
11:55but I might just throw it anyway.
11:56Well, yes, that's about all I could expect from you, Madge.
12:00You see, you are a woman with absolutely no control over your temper
12:03and no consideration for people who genuinely care for you.
12:07Well, as a matter of fact, I'm only too happy to oblige and leave you alone.
12:10Because I no longer want to see you.
12:12But you...
12:12I mean, let's face it, Madge, you are a shrew.
12:14And I'm not at all sure that the thought of taming you
12:17is any longer an attractive proposition.
12:19It was only a single flower, Mrs. Mangle.
12:26Quantity is hardly the point, Dr. Marshall.
12:29The child is guilty of trespassing and of desecration.
12:33Desecration?
12:33Mrs. Mangle, Katie has apologised.
12:35I don't see what else she can do.
12:37She can stay away from my garden.
12:39I'm afraid her type is far from welcome.
12:42Her type?
12:42Mr. Bishop informs me that her brother is a juvenile delinquent.
12:47He steals doughnuts.
12:49And his bad manner, too.
12:50Mrs. Mangle, you're entitled to your beliefs,
12:52but I will not have my niece and nephew spoken about like that.
12:56Katie and Todd's parents have been going through a pretty rough time last,
12:58I was slightly, Mrs. Mangle.
12:59Well, that's not my problem, Mr. Robinson.
13:02No, I think Jim and Beverly are aware of how you feel.
13:07I'm sure Katie won't trouble you anymore.
13:09She's only a child, for goodness sake.
13:11Yes, well, I thought Ramsey Street had seen the last of this type of thing.
13:16Unsupervised children can be a terrible nuisance to we more mature residents.
13:21Thank heavens there are no other youngsters around to test our patience.
13:24Good night.
13:25So you've got a problem?
13:27Mm-hmm.
13:28A business problem?
13:29Yep.
13:29And you want to be mediated, arbitrated and emancipated, right?
13:33Sure.
13:34In other words, you want Paul to help you settle the dispute, right?
13:38Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:39Okay, let's hear it.
13:40Well, I put up most of the money in the first place.
13:43That was when we bought all that liquid beauty muck.
13:45But as you know, it didn't exactly clean the furniture like it was supposed to.
13:49In fact, it took off everything from the timber up,
13:51so he relabeled a paint stripper, didn't you?
13:53Yeah, which is where my genius lies.
13:55That's when I started making money, enough, in fact, to set up to get a good start in a gardening business.
13:59And that's where we became carryover shareholders.
14:01Because Henry sort of recycled our money.
14:03Now, so far, Jane's been paid back, but we haven't seen a cent.
14:06So if I pay you back plus a cut of the profit, we'll all be square.
14:09That's right.
14:10Yeah, it seems fun, mate.
14:11Well, what if I divide up the account
14:13and could take the smallest cut for myself to keep the equipment?
14:16Sure, yeah.
14:17Me?
14:18Well, no-one's trying to take your business away from me.
14:20Well, we've got a deal.
14:22Well, good.
14:22All right.
14:24Thanks for all your help, mate.
14:25We couldn't have sorted this out.
14:26Yeah, thanks a lot, Paul.
14:27All right.
14:27Bye, guys.
14:28See you.
14:33You're amazing, Paul.
14:34I don't know how you do it.
14:36Just a gift, I guess.
14:38Yeah.
14:42Come on.
14:42I'll buy you a drink.
14:43All right.
14:46Guys.
14:49Okay, Ronnie, how are you?
14:50Not bad, mate.
14:52They're ordering cocktails.
14:53Lots of them.
14:55What will it be?
14:56I've got a shun.
14:57Um, lemon squash.
14:59Yeah, just a lighter.
15:00They're on me, Ron.
15:03He's a fast mover, isn't he, eh?
15:04Yeah, I reckon.
15:05That drenching you got sure didn't cool him off.
15:11You know, it's all falling into place for me now, Ronnie.
15:14You'll think hard.
15:15Doesn't Lou remind you of somebody?
15:17Somebody we know quite well?
15:20Yeah.
15:20Does the name Fred Mitchell ring any bells?
15:24Dad.
15:26Do you still want to eat out in yours, Mum?
15:32Excuse me for interrupting.
15:34Charlie.
15:34But if you think you can buy my support, you've got it all wrong, Pat.
15:37Uh, Charlie, what's the matter?
15:39You've got no idea, have you?
15:40Look, why don't you sit down and, uh, have a drink?
15:42My shout.
15:43I just said you can't buy me.
15:45For your information, Mum's already married one woman, Ice,
15:48and Ron hopes she doesn't make the same mistake twice,
15:50because she deserves better.
15:51Much better than the one for you, anyway.
15:54Uh, Matt, would you care that you want us?
16:10You heard from Frank?
16:12No, I haven't, but, um, that's no surprise.
16:15He's never been one for writing.
16:16Katie's happily reading a book.
16:19Now, do you still want me to sit in while you try and talk us over?
16:23Yeah.
16:24Would you like to start, Jim?
16:26Well, I think my point of view's pretty clear.
16:29I already have a family.
16:30Most of my kids are old enough to give me grandchildren.
16:33I don't want to start again.
16:34I understand how you feel, Jim,
16:36but I've only just met someone I could start a family with.
16:39And I want to have a child.
16:41It's only natural, after all.
16:42Yeah, but you didn't feel this way before we were married.
16:45Oh, no, I didn't.
16:45I changed my mind.
16:46I didn't think you'd stop me.
16:48I'm not stopping you.
16:50Then what are you doing?
16:51I'm trying to let you know how I feel.
16:53I know how you feel, Jim.
16:54It just doesn't seem very fair, that's all.
17:00Well, this is obviously a very emotional issue for both of you,
17:04but I'm glad that you've passed the stage of getting too upset with one another,
17:09but I'm not sure that I can be of any help.
17:12Yes, hello, but do you know what I'm trying to say?
17:14Well, yes, of course I do.
17:14I know what you're both saying.
17:17Well, then what do you think would be a fair solution?
17:19Jim, I don't have a magic wand.
17:22There's probably no fair solution.
17:24If you don't stop tugging in opposite directions,
17:30you might very well pull this marriage apart.
17:38There you go.
17:41Honestly, I don't believe that man.
17:43He comes all the way from Brisbane to court me,
17:45and now he's all over some floozy with a banana daiquiri.
17:47Well, you know what men are like, huh?
17:49You did tell him to get lost, you know.
17:51Scott, I told him to leave me alone.
17:53There is a difference.
17:54Well, you could look at the bright side.
17:57What bright side?
17:59You could have found all this out after you'd married him.
18:01Then where would you be?
18:02Anyway, at least you know who the right man is.
18:04I do?
18:05Yeah, Harold.
18:06Yeah, that's right, Mum.
18:08It's all systems go from now on.
18:10Harold's the guy for you.
18:12He's not the guy for you?
18:15Yes, I think he is,
18:16but I don't know whether I'm the girl for him.
18:19What are you on about?
18:20But he loves you to death.
18:22Not anymore.
18:23He came over before to tell me he wasn't interested in me anymore.
18:29Well, pride was hurt, that's all.
18:31Yeah, he'll come round, Mum.
18:34I mean, this morning I literally had two men fighting over me,
18:37and now here I am, alone.
18:40Neighbors, everybody needs good neighbors.
18:49Just a friendly wave each morning

19:05Neighbors, everybody needs good neighbors.
19:22Neighbors, with a little understanding

19:39That's when good neighbors become good friends.
