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
00:30Well, what's the verdict?
00:36Well, I'll have to buy a bit of furniture for the second bedroom
00:39And some more in here
00:41But were the rent so reasonable, I can afford that
00:43Yes, well, it's certainly a bargain
00:45But would you feel a bit odd living here, considering it's history?
00:49That's the second time today you've reminded me of Nell Mangle
00:52I'd be careful if I were you
00:53It's just that I believe that if something really didn't ask
00:56Tragics happen in a place
00:57But something remains
00:59You mean ghosts?
01:01No, no, I don't mean ghosts exactly
01:02I mean feelings
01:04Oh, Madge, some young woman couldn't afford to pay the rent
01:08So she took off
01:09She's probably living quite comfortably in a caravan park in northern Queensland
01:13You can't be certain of that
01:14Well, I'm going to put a deposit on this place
01:18Before someone else decides to take it
01:20Yeah, I win
01:30Another game?
01:32Nah, I'm not in the mood
01:33I thought you two would still be in the park
01:36We would have been, but Beverly had to deliver a baby
01:38Well, thank heavens it was today, not tomorrow
01:40Beverly said she had three babies, Duke
01:43What happens if one decides to come tomorrow?
01:46Don't even think about it
01:47I thought you two were going to be chained to the kitchen for the rest of the day
01:50We've been to see a flat I saw advertised
01:53Funnily enough, it's in the same block as Tony's
01:57Go on, tell him the rest
01:59It's lovely
02:00It's absolutely perfect
02:02I've put a deposit on it
02:04So you really are moving out, Gran?
02:07Well, come on, you two be happy for me, please
02:11I suppose if it's what you really want
02:13We're happy for you
02:15She'll miss our lovable ways
02:17I know
02:18Okay, workers, chow's on
02:20Yeah
02:21Well, so, look like Tony's picked the winning team
02:25You reckon?
02:25We're just about finished and you're on half of our boat
02:28Through no fold of mine, Henry's in there
02:30Planting noughts and crosses on the wall
02:31Guy wouldn't work in an iron lamp
02:33I get someone talking about chow, don't I?
02:36Yeah, for the workers, I said
02:38Well, considering this is a Saturday, Arvon
02:40I thought I'd been invited to a party
02:41I don't think I'm doing too badly
02:42Hey, guys, watch this
02:44Thousand pounds, right over the top
02:47Cut it out, Henry
02:48Come on, get up, you idiot
03:00Okay, Henry, I suppose you've at least provided some entertainment for everybody
03:07Get up and you can have a family
03:08Something's wrong, he's not breathing
03:15Well, what do I do now?
03:17Better get some air into his room
03:18Is it going to be alright?
03:27Henry, say something
03:28Oh, my mom
03:31Henry!
03:33Are you okay, mate?
03:35Yeah
03:35Yeah, I just
03:36Oh, can we just lie there, please?
03:39Stop being such a hero
03:40That's how all this happened in the first place
03:42Clevels
03:43Maybe we should throw him in his car and run him down to casualty
03:46There's no need for that
03:47I just turn my back
03:49It's all
03:49Take me home
03:50Can you walk?
03:51Yeah
03:51Go on
03:52What do you reckon?
03:59Who knows?
04:01He's always putting on some kind of performance
04:03I guess we should get him checked out then
04:06How was the patient?
04:13Good as gold
04:13This was Mrs Waterford's seventh child
04:16So she knew what was happening
04:17Before I did
04:17Well, let's just hope there are no more emergencies
04:20Shall we, darling?
04:21I think I ought to look after this pager of yours
04:23Because I reckon it'll go off in the middle of the wedding ceremony
04:26It was!
04:26I can hear it now
04:28Do you, James Robinson, take beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
04:31To be your local when it's right?
04:33Expletives deleted
04:34Would you guys mind keeping it down a bit, please?
04:37Oh, terribly
04:38Sorry, young lady
04:39Perhaps we should buy you a portable TV
04:41So that you can watch it in the privacy of your own room
04:44That'd be great
04:45All right
04:48I promise no beef at the wedding
04:49I'll even tell Paul not to bring his
04:52Can I come in?
04:54In here, in here, Madge
04:55Oh, I'm terribly sorry to interrupt
04:57But that idiot son of mine gone and hurt his back
04:59Now, he says he's all right
05:00But he can hardly move
05:01Beverly, would you take a look at him, please?
05:02Yes, of course
05:02Oh, your blood's wet, Bob
05:03Madge, this is why I put it in my bag
05:05Oh, Christ
05:05Sorry, Madge
05:07You're going to have a very interesting marriage
05:13Yes
05:14Now you see, now you don't
05:16Anyway, the next thing you know
05:21The barbells went bang, right?
05:23And Henry hits the floor like a sack of the tote
05:25School of the boy
05:26You can't keep out of trouble, can't he?
05:27Yeah, well, it's just as well
05:28Dad's marrying a doctor, eh?
05:30Yeah, that might take a bit of getting used to, though
05:31Shh, here she comes
05:33Hi, boy
05:34Hi, Mama
05:35I, uh, I don't think we should have said that, mate
05:40She didn't look too wrapped
05:41She's okay, forget it
05:43Anyway, she's got to have a sense of humour
05:45If she's going to survive in this family thing
05:46Yeah, yeah, I guess you're right
05:48Hey, listen, listen, listen, listen
05:50Listen, I've been thinking
05:52Does it hurt?
05:53Are we going to take Dad to the pub later on?
05:56Yeah, of course
05:56Mate, he's getting married tomorrow
05:58We've got to do something, haven't we?
05:59Yeah, yeah, something really, really special
06:01Yeah, but you're going to have to help me organise, all right?
06:04I like the sound of this already, mate
06:06Oh, let's go
06:07Oh!
06:08I know your back hurts, Henry
06:10But try and sit up so I can examine your head
06:12Good idea
06:13Needs his head examined
06:14Oh, shut up, Charlene
06:15Well, we had us all worried
06:17I know, but it's not over yet, is it?
06:19Is he being a good boy?
06:20Maybe Dr. Marshall will give him a lollipop
06:22Oh, only if he doesn't cry
06:24It's not funny, you guys
06:25Yeah, we know
06:26I should have stopped him from playing around with the weights in the first place
06:29Oh, yeah
06:29Henry, stay off the weights
06:31Oh, yeah, right-o
06:32Hey, good Henry impersonation, Charlene
06:34Yeah, saying it just like him
06:35Yeah
06:36My ears are burning in here, you lot
06:38Maybe it's because Beverly's got a torch stuck in them, eh?
06:41Oh!
06:43How is he, Beverly?
06:45It's always a bit of a worry when someone knocks and says that
06:47But there's no sign of him
06:48Oh, thank heavens for that
06:49What about my back, darling?
06:51Well, it's fairly badly strained, I'm afraid
06:53Yeah
06:53There's a fair bit of bruising
06:56Perhaps a torn muscle or two
06:57You're a very lucky boy, though
06:58You're lucky you didn't end up in the spinal unit after an accident like yours
07:02Did you hear that, Henry?
07:03You ought to be more careful next time
07:05I heard, I heard
07:06No more playing around with weights for you
07:08Certainly not for a while, anyway
07:10You don't have to stay in bed
07:11But you won't be able to put any strain on that back for a couple of weeks
07:14No work
07:15What?
07:17I can't let my customers down, I'll lose all my business
07:19I've just bought that new round, too
07:22You mean we just bought it
07:24Looks like Scott's going to have to do it all himself for a while, doesn't it?
07:29I noticed the jokes have stopped
07:30Don't worry, mate
07:33I'll be there the whole time and tell you what to do
07:36Oh, thanks, Mum
07:43You're a terrific mum, Mum
07:46Yes, I know
07:47Now, you ought to lie there quietly for a while, do you understand?
07:50Absolutely
07:50Sing out if you want to, maybe?
07:52Okay, okay
07:53I'm sorry to be such a burden, Mum
07:55I'd dearly love some chicken noodle soup
07:57But that's if it's okay with you
07:59Chicken noodle soup?
08:00Right
08:00Would you mind grabbing my tiger bar?
08:01I'm out of my room, it's in there somewhere
08:03Somewhere in your room, that ought to be an adventure
08:05Well, you might be able to rub it on my back and, you know, ease the pain
08:09Henry
08:10Do you mind if I get the chicken noodle soup first?
08:14No, not at all
08:15Well, how's it going?
08:19Can you handle it all?
08:20It's impossible
08:21Look, you're either going to have to give up packing shelves at the supermarket or quit the pamphlet run
08:25Yeah, mate, no one can do three jobs at once
08:27Well, that's what I'll be doing
08:28Look, I promised I'd deliver those pamphlets for another two weeks, right?
08:31But I can't just give up the job at the supermarket
08:34Because there's no way I'm going to be able to get the thing back
08:36Well, I can vacuum the pool for you
08:38And do your share of chores if you like
08:40Might make things a bit easier
08:41Look, I'll worry about that stuff when I come to it
08:44There's no use whinging about it
08:46I'll get through it somehow, okay?
08:48Of course you will
08:49Yeah, well, we'd better get back to your place and finish the painting off, mate
08:51Yeah
08:52Do we have to?
08:53Those paint cubes are awful after a while
08:55Oh, yes
08:56You don't intend to stay there tonight, do you?
08:58You can always come back and stay here
08:59Yeah, why don't you?
09:01There's a spare bed in Henry's room
09:02And my old single mattress is in the garage
09:04Oh, well, thanks, Mrs. Ramsey
09:05That's really nice of you
09:06Yeah, thanks a lot
09:07Oh, goody
09:08It's lumber party
09:10Quiet, you
09:11Well, Sally and I will come back when we finish then
09:14I can give you a lift to the flat if you like
09:15I told Paul I'd met him at the pub at about five
09:17We've organised something special for Dad
09:20Oh, great, thanks
09:21Okay, wait a sec
09:21Bye-bye
09:22See you
09:22Bye
09:23Bye
09:23Bye
09:23Bye
09:24Get better, mate
09:25Anyway, I was coming towards you
09:28All right, Ros, thanks a lot
09:28Bye, boys
09:29Bye-bye
09:30Hi, Mum
09:30Ready to get
09:31Just to get myself together
09:32All right
09:33All right
09:33All right
09:34Nice of you and Scotch to take Jim for a drink like this
09:38What can I say?
09:39I mean, well, it's just the sort of kids we are, isn't it?
09:41Hmm
09:41Beverly was telling me that you boys were teasing her earlier
09:44Calling her mum, I believe
09:46Uh, yeah
09:47Helen, stop staring
09:48Don't let her put the wind up, you fool
09:49Okay, let's go
09:51Yeah
09:51All right
09:52Have fun
09:53Yeah, well, we will
09:54Bye
09:55Bye-bye
09:56I don't know about that, Dad
09:58What's that supposed to mean?
10:00Goodness knows
10:01Go ahead, Anne
10:02Darling, have you finished all that homework already?
10:05No, but I forgot to get you to sign this for school
10:07What is it?
10:08A consent form for an excursion that's gone in a couple of weeks
10:10Oh, thank goodness for that
10:12When the boys used to bring letters home from school
10:14It was usually because they were fooling around in class or something
10:17Hmm
10:17What am I doing?
10:19This is your department
10:20Here
10:20Beverly will bring it in to you in a minute
10:23Should she go?
10:27I don't know whether she should go or not
10:29As a matter of fact, I'm not so sure about you going off to live in your flat either
10:33Oh, are you worried about me or you?
10:35Me, of course
10:36I'm a complete novice at this type of thing, Helen
10:38Now, you listen to me
10:39Ever since my daughter died
10:42I've been like a mother to that girl
10:44But now she's getting older
10:45And there's no need for me to do it anymore
10:47She's going to have to learn that you hold the reins
10:50What if I can't ride the horse?
10:51Of course
10:52Then you'll have to learn with her
10:54Look, I have absolute faith in both of you
10:57Now, if I were the interfering type
10:59That chose the women for the men in my family
11:02I would have chosen you without any hesitation
11:06Well
11:07Well, would you look at us?
11:13Who would have thought a year ago we'd all be married?
11:16Hand in love with our wife
11:17And we're through with the lucky ones
11:20A lot of guys go through their whole lives and never find a good woman
11:25I felt too
11:26Yep, and we reckon you've done all right with us, have we?
11:28Thanks, Scotty
11:29Yep, we do too
11:30Good
11:31That's how it should be
11:32There's something I don't tell you guys often
11:34I'm very proud of you
11:36Do you promise you'll always think that then?
11:40Don't doubt about it, mate
11:41Here's to the Robinsons
11:42And their growing family
11:44To the Robinsons
11:45And here's to you guys
11:49A man couldn't ask how to do it
11:51For two finer sands
11:52Are you Jim Robinson?
11:55Yeah, what's going on?
11:57We've been told you're a very sick man
11:59You'd better come with us
11:59Oh, I know
12:00There's some mistake
12:01Guys
12:02Don't worry, Dave
12:05We'll come and visit you
12:06Yeah, here's to laughter
12:09The best medicine for a sick man, okay?
12:18Oh, Sally
12:18Could you put this in your bag?
12:20Where's all the rest of your stuff?
12:21That's it
12:21Come on, Baxter
12:23Get the lead out
12:23Righto, righto
12:24Hey, next time you reckon
12:26There's a party on
12:26I expect some drinks
12:27And a few single women
12:29What do you think I am?
12:30I mean single women
12:31Who don't play so hard to get
12:33Let's go
12:34Did you hear that?
12:36I didn't hear anything
12:37Did you?
12:40Wow, everyone's upstairs
12:41It's got a pretty unhappy baby
12:42That's just it
12:43There hasn't been anyone up there for months
12:44The flat's empty
12:45Huh?
12:46Well, apparently this woman and her baby
12:47Just disappeared off the face of the earth
12:49Left everything here
12:50Clothes, furniture
12:51Even dirty dishes in the sink
12:53Who told you this?
12:54Well, the painter who did the work up there
12:55He heard those cries
12:56Who reckons it's ghosts?
12:57You're not trying to get me back
12:58For my practical jokes, are you?
13:00Would I kid you about something like this, mate?
13:03This might sound dumb
13:03But this sort of stuff really freaks me out
13:05I suppose that's how come the flat's still empty
13:07Well, it won't be for long
13:09Helen Daniel signed the lease
13:10I meant to tell you this, Arvo
13:11But Henry had the accident
13:12Well, she's gamer than I am
13:14Oh, come on, you two
13:16You're not going for this ghost garbage, are you?
13:18Will you give me a better explanation?
13:19I don't know, but...
13:21I can't hear anything now, can you?
13:24Come on, let's go
13:26Oh, well done ladies
13:37A clean house is a happy one
13:39It is as far as Hillary is concerned anyway
13:42Faye
13:43Have you guys seen any son of Dad at all tonight?
13:46Wasn't he with you?
13:48Well, actually he was
13:49But he met these two guys at the pub
13:52And he went off with them instead
13:54Yeah
13:55Well, you know what he's like
13:56A couple of beers in him
13:57And he gets completely sort of carried away
13:59What have you two gremlins been up to?
14:01He was only saying this afternoon
14:02How much he was looking forward to a quiet evening
14:04Now, if you two pull some stupid bucks tonight's bank
14:06I'll scream
14:07I think it's for you Beverly
14:10Jump it off
14:12Jim
14:14Yes, it's me
14:15But it's for you
14:17You know damn well what happened to me
14:19Those two hulking great security guard mates of yours
14:22Took my clothes
14:23And let me stranded at the corner of Ansell Street
14:25Can you imagine what that was like?
14:27No money, having to walk home
14:28You two fine sons
14:38Have managed to embarrass me
14:39In front of everyone in Erinsborough
14:40Who goes out on a Saturday night
14:41Including Harold and Mrs. Mangle
14:43And the rest of the queue at the theatre
14:44I thought you were both more responsible
14:47Well, there's only one way you're going to learn
14:49Kidnapping is illegal
14:51You can explain yourself to the police
14:53And then let's see how funny it is
14:55Oh, Dad, come on, you're joking
14:56Dad?
14:58Yeah, but I had to have my moment of revenge
15:00He who laughs, laughs, laughs, laughs
15:02You know, I don't want to make matters worse
15:05But do you realise that gown has a split
15:06All the way up the back?
15:10What was that about the last laugh?
15:25So
15:25Your old man had you going for a minute
15:28About telling the cops, did he?
15:29Yeah, had he for a minute
15:30He wouldn't have done it, though
15:31He can take a joke
15:32Most of the time, anyway
15:33How much of this gear do you reckon we're going to need?
15:37Whoops
15:37Whoa, just about all of it, I reckon
15:39Don't tell me we're going to have to do this whole place
15:44Worse, mate
15:47You've got to do this whole way
15:51Well, why didn't you tell me it was this big?
15:53Well, I've never seen it before, have I?
15:55This is part of our new run, mate
15:58Congratulations
15:59Yeah, thanks, heaps, Henry
16:00This is just ridiculous
16:01There's no way I'm going to be able to do this place by myself
16:04Let alone all the other work we've got to do, remember?
16:06But don't panic
16:07There's an easy way to do everything, alright?
16:13Just unload all this stuff out of the car, will you?
16:16Right, and, uh, what are you going to do?
16:19Well, work on a system
16:20I think it's time you learnt Uncle Henry's first drill of lawn mowing, mate
16:24Which is?
16:26Always cut the corners first
16:37Ah, hard at work
16:42Good morning, Madge
16:43I'm just making a note of who sent the presents
16:46I'm glad it's a buffet lunch
16:47I wouldn't know who to sit and fix the next to whom out of this lot
16:50Oh, yes, not mentioning Mrs. Mangle and a certain cousin at Jim's, of course
16:54Oh, of course
16:55Is this good enough, Frank?
16:56Yes, it's beautiful, don't you?
16:57Oh, Lucy, it's lovely
16:58You'd never know Henry had ever been near the place
17:00Oh, uh, Helen, well, I'll put this
17:02Oh, over there with the rest, if you don't mind
17:03Thank you, Madge
17:04Hi, Madge
17:06Oh, Jim, not wearing your hospital gown this morning
17:09No, well, I thought once was enough, thank you very much
17:10Oh, that's disappointing
17:12Anyway, you seem to have taken it on the chin
17:14Yes, well, someone very thoughtfully pointed out that Jim was quite prepared to dress Scott in a chicken suit
17:20and leave him stranded on his bucks night
17:21I have a feeling that may have helped
17:23Oh, gosh, look at the time, I must get moving
17:26Yes, you'll need to get Paul over here to help you move
17:29Yeah, I know, it'll be all right
17:30What time are the flowers being delivered?
17:32Soon, I hope
17:33I suppose they're flat out, it is Valentine's Day after all
17:35Well, come on, Luce, you can water the garden while I get myself some breakfast
17:39All right
17:39Oh, Jim, if I don't see you between now and then, have a wonderful day, won't you?
17:43I shall, thanks, Madge
17:44Oh, Madge
17:47I haven't forgotten that this was supposed to be your day, too, you know
17:53I think Harold has
17:56Anyway, I'd better get going and let you get on with things
17:59Just give me a shout if you need any help, all right?
18:01All right
18:02Well, good morning, sleepyhead
18:14There's some breakfast here if you want some
18:15Oh, thanks
18:16Oh, the other's still in bed
18:20Are you kidding?
18:21Scott was up at the crack of dawn to go and do all Henry's work for him
18:24Poor Scott
18:26None of this would have happened if Henry hadn't been playing around with my weight
18:29Well, it's not your fault
18:31Henry was just trying to impress you, I think
18:33It sure came alive when you gave him mouth to mouth
18:35I'll say
18:36How I pray those lips were mine
18:38Idiot
18:39Morning, all
18:40I ran into a seat outside
18:42He looks to know how Henry is
18:43Beverly rang and wanted to know the same thing
18:45She said Henry's going to need some physio
18:47That'll keep him out of mischief for a while
18:50Where is Henry?
18:51Hen's got her out working
18:52Well, Scott is, anyway
18:54What are you guys doing, Scott?
18:55Well, Sally and I are getting the flat back together again
18:57Well, if this is going to be busy
18:59Why don't we go give Scott a hand?
19:01All right
19:01Not like that, Scott
19:14Keep the pressure even or they'll go all jagged
19:17Oh, not like that
19:20What do you like this, Scott?
19:22Put your work into it, Scott
19:23Fair dinkum, Henry
19:25If you weren't my brother-in-law
19:26I would just tell you to shove this gardening business
19:28And I don't care how much work you reckon we've got to do
19:31There is no way
19:32I'm not going to be back in time to pick Beverly up for the work
19:34Is that okay?
19:36Fair enough
19:36Henry?
19:39Henry?
19:42Oh, Henry
19:42Henry?
19:44Henry?
19:47Henry?
19:49Henry, sorry
19:50Mate!
19:52What's up?
19:54I'll tell you what's up
19:55I've been working my butt off
19:56And you don't even have the decency to stay awake
19:58I was awake?
20:00I just closed my eyes for a second
20:02While I tried to think of a system
20:03That's all
20:04Forget Henry's system
20:06Cavalry's here
20:07Yeah, well thank God for the cavalry
20:09Lucy, turn the television off, darling
20:16You're supposed to be helping
20:17I am
20:18I'm waiting for the flowers to arrive
20:20Oh, they should have been here an hour ago
20:23Well, if I don't come soon
20:24We won't have time to decorate the house
20:26Speaking of late arrivals
20:27What happened to Hillary?
20:28I thought she was supposed to be here at nine
20:29That's right, she was
20:31Not like her to be late
20:32Well, you can relax, Jim
20:33She's probably dropping Annette off at Beverly's now
20:36I'll give Beverly a call
20:37Yeah, I don't know what it is
20:39I'm starting to get a bad feeling about today
20:41Oh, weddings are like that
20:42It always seems that everything will go wrong at the last minute
20:45But it all works out
20:46Who says?
20:48Good old Anne Clarks
20:50You talk about weddings going off without a hitch
20:51Hers did, literally
20:52And if hers could go wrong, anyone can
20:55I'm sorry, Dad
20:58I shouldn't have said that
21:00No, you shouldn't have said that
21:02Still, everything will be fine
21:05Neighbours
21:11Everybody needs good neighbours
21:14Just a friendly wave each morning
21:18Helps to make a better day
21:22Neighbours
21:27Neighbours
21:28Need to get to know each other
21:31Next door is only
21:34A footstep away
21:38Neighbours
