Were you positive about the place?
A couple of things?
Yeah, what were they?
At least I know the people here and what they're like.
Somewhere else they could be a lot worse.
So that's one thing, what about the other one?
You're here.
I reckon if there's anything in some bay worth staying for it's you.
I could never find a mate like you somewhere else.
Oh, oh, P.
Now all we've got to do is handle room.
That's the part I'm looking forward to.
Well, if it isn't little kangaroo.
How are things on the home front, kangaroo?
God, you're childish.
Things must be a bit tight there nowadays.
We're managing.
It's going to be even tighter before.
What do you mean before?
What do you think I mean?
Frank and I are moving into a caravan, you know that.
Hasn't changed his mind, has he?
No hope there, Ruthie.
Mr. and Mrs. Morgan are going to be so happy
when they're cruddy little ham on wheels.
You want to guess again?
Guess what?
Who number four's got them, Becky?
Get lost.
I really pity the idiots the department dumps you on.
I bet you do.
Frank, hey, Frank.
What's up?
I need some help urgently.
Why, what's wrong?
Just come with me a sec.
I've never got work to do.
Look, I'll make a deal with you.
You help me now and I'll give you a hand later on.
I'll be right back.
Have you finished yet?
Just about.
I want to get some work done before I start at Aelsers.
I'm going as fast as I can.
You better get a move on.
She's coming.
Detain her!
What?
Keep her busy.
Foss.
Good, hey, Frankie.
Look, Foss.
How have you been lately?
I don't know, you just looked a bit down, that's all.
Oh, have I?
Yeah, sort of.
It's probably all this stuff with Bobby.
I know Nev says I'm silly to trust the cards.
But if anything happened to one of you...
Well, it's not going to, is it?
Please God.
You all right?
Yeah.
What's so interesting about the wagon?
What?
When you keep looking at it like it's about to explode or something.
Look, nothing.
I've got heaps to do.
I'll see you.
Hi, darling.
Good day, lovey.
Oh, that hill.
Nev, it's beautiful!
What?
Nev, it's beautiful!
I'm glad you like it.
Oh, love.
Easy on.
When there was nothing here this morning, I thought you hadn't remembered.
Oh, the florist had a bit of trouble filling the order, that's all.
I should have known there'd be a reason.
But my state of mind being what it is lately...
I don't want to hear anything more about your state of mind.
All right.
As a matter of fact, there's only one thing I want today.
What's that?
To spend a happy 39th anniversary with me.
What's that?
To spend a happy 39th anniversary with my wife.
We will.
Happy anniversary to you, too, love.
Look, Ruthie,
Alcer and I felt that it was the least we could do for Bobby.
Look, Ruthie, Alcer and I felt that it was the least we could do for Bobby.
And you're only going to have to put up with it for a couple of weeks, so...
Yoo-hoo! Alfred!
Alfred!
Hi, g'day.
Good morning.
What can I do for you?
Forgotten what?
The charity clothing appeal.
Oh, no, no, no, it's all done.
Good.
Yes, Alce went through all my stuff last night and we had a big chuck out.
Oh, nothing too good, I hope.
Oh, no, charity begins at home, as they say.
Well, I mean, up to a point.
The bag's in the kitchen.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, Seale, uh, look, when you've got that,
can you shoot through fairly quickly?
Alce and I have got a few things we want to tell Ruth.
Oh.
I mean, if you'd like to share them with him now...
See you later.
Bag, kitchen, out.
Honestly, Alfred, either speak in sentences or don't speak at all.
Out, out, out, out, out!
Oh, no.
Hmph.
Ah.
Well, uh,
Ruthie, look, about Bobby,
she is going to move in here
and that's that, so
you're going to have...
Hm.
Ruthie, you and Bobby are...
What's for lunch?
Don't I get a hello?
Sorry, hi, what's for lunch?
You're hungry, are you?
Well, you'll just have to wait for a while.
Alce isn't here yet.
Alce?
Yeah, she's tied up down at the shop, waiting for Frank.
Why is she taking time off for lunch?
Well, she's got a little thing going on with her.
A simple little thing like that.
Now, that's not so strange, is it?
I mean, good marriages are hard to come by.
You have to work at them.
And I want to make sure I don't foul mine up.
And I don't want you upsetting things
any more than you already have, either.
Things are going to be a bit delicate
between me and Alce for a while.
Okay, well, wait for us, all right?
It's like we're making a drama out of nothing.
Is everything all right, Alfred?
Oh, so far, sis.
So far.
Oh, there you go.
That's 80 and four dollars.
Thanks, Francis. Bye-bye.
Hey, Bobby.
Can you look after things for a while?
Frank will be here in a minute.
No, fine. I'm running late.
Sure I can't come along for the laugh?
Don't you be a stirrer.
I want you to promise to be on your best behavior
until Ruth's married and gone.
The problem is, Kanga makes me see red.
Bobby.
I think I can manage to control myself.
Good for you.
Oh, Ailsa, it looks like I've just caught you.
Yes, you did.
The old clothes collection.
Well, didn't you get that from Al?
Yes, but I was just wondering
if there was anything that was left out.
Oh, of course not.
Oh, I was also wondering, anything wrong at home?
Oh, Celia, I am late for lunch.
Well, it's just that Alfred's been so edgy
and it's so soon after the honeymoon.
Yes, well, husbands do get upset sometimes.
Well, I'm sorry.
Marry in haste.
For pented leisure.
Oh.
Saturday on 7th, through to a classic
by the undisputed master of suspense,
Alfred Hitchcock.
Terry Grant is being chased across a nation
by every spy in the world.
And I don't intend to disappoint them all
by getting myself slightly killed.
They try to scare him out of his wits,
sweep him off his feet.
How do I know you are to murder?
Cary Grant, Eva Morissette and James Mason
in The Alfred Hitchcock Throne.
North by Northwest, Saturday on 7.
I'm going to put that hard-boiled egg
into this milk bottle.
A bit of burning paper in the milk bottle,
egg on top, watch it, in it goes.
Atmospheric pressure does the work.
So too Cadbury does the work.
They put all the goodness
of a glass and a half of full cream dairy milk
into every 200 gram block of this chocolate.
Only Cadbury gives you the goodness
of that famous glass and a half.
That's why I say,
when you think of chocolate,
think of Cadbury.
If your liquid cleaner is doing a thorough job,
you should be able to eat off the floor.
But if you have the slightest doubt,
remember, Flash is the liquid cleaner
that lifts surface dirt
and dissolves the grease underneath.
Now there's absolutely no need
to doubt.
Flash cleans so thoroughly,
you could eat off the floor,
bench, bath, basin.
Why don't we eat off the table
like everyone else?
Flash, liquid, powder or cream cleanser,
for a surface so clean, you could eat off it.
An ordinary carbon battery
can't outlast a Duracell battery.
But then, not much can.
Now there's a better way to cleanse your skin.
Arprey Facial Wash.
A cleanser that goes on like a cream
but washes off with water,
leaving your skin feeling soft,
fresh and really clean.
Arprey Apricot Facial Wash.
Aren't you hungry for your kind of burger?
More of this, more of that,
none of the other.
Come on, have it your way,
but only at Hungry Jacks.
How romantic.
I just wish that every newly married couple
could be assured of such a long run.
Oh, as the theatricals put it.
What, Alfred and Elsa aren't having trouble, are they?
Oh, I didn't mention Alfred and Elsa.
Well, they're the only newlyweds I know.
Well, since you've correctly identified
the couple in question,
there have been some indications
this morning that they're not married.
There have been some indications this morning
from both of them
that all may not be well with their union.
What sort of indications?
Well, Alfred spoke of not wanting to upset things,
and Elsa told me that upset husbands
make life uncomfortable.
Oh, it's that word, upset, you see.
Bobby, here.
You kidding?
No,
Elsa and I thought that was the least we could do for her
under the circumstances.
And that's the way it's going to be?
Yes, it is.
Oh, great.
No wonder she was so full of it this morning.
She moves in and suddenly I don't even get asked
about things anymore.
Look, if you grew up, you might get asked about things,
but as it is, you're being told.
Oh, great. Don't even get a say anymore.
Now, if you're smart and you're act up, you might get a say.
I'll do what you like. I've been a whole orphanage.
I couldn't care less.
Ruthie, isn't it time you stopped treating me
like the wicked stepmother?
Why?
I get it.
Yeah, it all makes sense now.
What?
Well, one minute you're not marrying Dad, then suddenly you are.
Next thing Bobby's moving in.
Well, don't you see? That's all she marries you for,
to give scumbag a home.
Well,
best laid plans of mice and men.
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
Nothing.
I don't know if you can like it or love it.
Yeah, it's all right.
No, it's fine. Well, it's her problem, not mine.
Okay, see you.
What did I also want?
To tell me it's okay to move in with her and Alf.
Let's see what difference it makes.
You know, living with them or living with us,
he's still going to be around. So?
Well, so that pretty well proves he didn't move out
because of Floss' prediction. What are you, some sort of detective?
We can't blame his wanting to know.
Look, I've got my reasons.
That's all you need to know.
Anyway, I'm glad you found somewhere good.
Of course, there might be some people not too happy about it.
Who?
One guess. I bet she's thinking of ways to make things hard for me already.
Rue.
Oh, who do you reckon? Oh, she'll be okay.
I wish you could see it.
Oh, thank you so much.
These will do just splendidly.
Toodle-oo. Hooray, lovey.
Bye.
We've got to do something about Alf and Elsa.
Ah, Celia's probably just seeing fire
where there's nothing but a bit of smoke.
Still, we're 39 years under our belt.
Who better to talk to them, eh?
Just in case.
Well, they won't like it if they think we're butting in.
Oh, it won't be subtle.
I'll find some tactful way
of steering them in the right direction.
You see, I believe
marriage is like a flower garden.
Sometimes you get roses,
sometimes you get daisies,
and sometimes all you get is weeds.
Yes, I suppose you do.
But so long as you know how
to keep those weeds down,
well, then your garden
will be all right.
Look, Floss,
are you and Neville having a bit of trouble?
Trouble? Me and Nev?
Yeah. Well, if you are, you don't need my advice.
You've already got the remedy.
You and Nev just keep on keeping those weeds down.
Everything will be all right.
Oh, dear.
Well, if you're not having trouble, what are you carrying on about?
You see, I believe
marriage is like food.
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Some days all you get are sandwiches.
Some days meat and potatoes.
But on real good days,
you get chicken and champagne
and all the trimmings.
Ah, you're after a bottle of champagne, are you?
No, I was just
talking generally.
Oh, mate, look,
do us a favour, would you, and turf that out in your way,
would you? Sure.
I believe the way
to a successful marriage is to treat
the sandwich as though it was a
feast and a quick Chinese
as though it was lunch in Paris,
France. Ah.
Ah, yeah, look, I think I know what you're on about.
Really? Yeah.
Yeah, you want to take me and Al's for a quick Chinese sometime.
Not
quite. Well, you don't want to take us
for lunch in Paris, France. Oh, no.
Well, mate, what are you
on about? You're not making a lot of sense, you know?
Celia?
What have you been saying?
Seems half of Summer Bay
thinks our marriage is on the rocks.
Oh, I hope you're not implying that I've been saying
anything. You've had us in the divorce courts
according to Neville and Floss.
Well, you can hardly blame a person for thinking
something was amiss. The earth gave you
that idea. Well, you did speak about life
being uncomfortable, and
you spoke about not wanting to foul things
up, and you both said that
you didn't want to upset the other. Well, of course
we didn't want to upset one another. That doesn't
mean we're headed for the quickest divorce on record.
Oh, dear. Who else
did you tell? Well, there was
Betty Faldwell and Doris Peters, and
that nice young couple that lived
down by the wharf, the Ellises. Well, you better
do your rounds again this afternoon
and tell all those good people
that as of right now, we're just
about the happiest couple in Summer Bay.
We are happy to be married, Celia.
There really is no problem.
Yes, well, Alfred brought that home
with some force. And the next time gossip's
a bit thin on the ground, you just
leave us out of anything you make up, okay?
That about it, Alice?
No, I think you've pretty well covered it.
Well, you better get on your bike,
girl, and get busy.
Good afternoon, I'm Jeremy Cordeau.
Tonight in 7 News, Commissioner Hunt
angrily defends the South Australian
police force against corruption allegations,
tough new regulations to control

The Renefs' marriage is off.

7 Nightly News,
7 nights a week at 6.
Sorry, mate.
You thought I didn't see you
that day with Suzanne.
You both looked so happy
walking hand in hand.
I waited for you to tell me
that you kept it to yourself,
so I decided to keep
a few things for myself.
Then I worked out
what was mine and what was yours,
the things we bought together,
the few things that we shared.
Yes, I worked out
what was yours and what was mine,
all that you would ever want.
All that you would want is mine,
all that you were left with,
all that you will find.
Sweet nothing,
you said something.
Sweet nothing,
you said something.
Sweet nothing,
you said something.
Ingrid, you have three children.
Does the whole family have lovely hair like yours?
We're lucky we all have nice hair,
although it's not all the same.
And how do you look after your family's hair?
I'm a shampoo and conditioner.
It's mild and brings out the shine.
Pears is a name I grew up with.
With a family of five, I want value for money.
I've heard you say it on television,
and Pears is less than I'd expect to pay.
Thank you, Ingrid.
Pears is very much a part of Ingrid's family,
and with such good quality and value,
why not make it part of yours?
The one and only Mr. Hines has created.
Soup for one.
It's ready to serve.
One simply pours, heats, and eats.
For real soup as a snack.
Six all-natural soups for one.
Dare one say, nice one, Mr. Hines?
Dialedinos!
It's a fresh pizza!
Dialedinos!
Nice to meet you!
Dialedinos!
Everyone knows!
Thanks.
She's really got Dad where she wants him.
I won't be able to stand leaving there.
It won't be for long now.
It'll feel like forever.
You want the good news?
What good news?
Ta-da!
That is on special at the hardware store.
What do you reckon?
You don't look too impressed.
At the start, you said you'd look after me.
So what do I end up with?
Crummy old caravan.
Now I don't even get a say in how it's done up.
It's supposed to be a surprise.
Frank, I'm sorry.
No, I've got work to do.
Come on in.
Nobody's going to eat you.
I'm sorry.
Come on in. Nobody's going to eat you.
You reckon?
Hey, no stirring, remember?
Only joking.
Is that you, Ails?
Yeah, me and Bobby.
I thought you'd still be busy at the store.
Oh, I'm not too busy to be here to say welcome.
How are you?
Okay. Thanks for taking me in.
It's our pleasure.
Have you shown Bobby your room yet?
No, I haven't had a chance.
Last one on the left end of the corridor.
Well, so far so good.
So far. Thank you.
Well, I'd better get back to the department of bottles and cans.
I'll see you tonight.
See you.
See you tonight, Bobby.
See you.
He's really trying, isn't he?
Yep. Good for him, too.
Elsa.
What, love?
You didn't do it just because of me, did you?
Do what?
Get hitched.
Yeah, well, you came into it, I suppose.
I hated the bottle.
No, it wasn't because of that.
If anything, you did me a favor, Bobby.
I was having a few doubts about losing my independence or that.
When you said you were clearing out, I had to do something.
But it wasn't just that.
I love Alf.
I love you.
So I took the plunge and I reckon it was the best thing I ever did.
I'm sorry.
I took the plunge and I reckon it was the best thing I ever did.
I bet you're really gone thinking you did it just for me.
She can think what she likes.
I know I got married for the right reasons.
Ah!
Want me to kiss it better?
I've come to help.
I didn't think you were interested.
I know.
Well, so what's changed?
I got to thinking,
if we're going to do it that way,
then we better make the most of it.
I'd better make the most of it.
If it comes with you, I can't complain.
What's in the bag?
That's a surprise for later.
Now, how about your thumb?
Well, if you've really come to clean up, there's stacks to do.
Where do I start?
I really can't tell what made the difference to Alfred and Elsa's situation.
It was all so amazing, so sudden.
You know, this morning I knew what I knew.
I wouldn't say anything that wasn't so, of course.
But this afternoon, there seems to be some miraculous change.
Alfred has assured me their marriage is on solid ground.
What about Elsa?
Just as determined.
Perhaps I shouldn't have said anything at all this morning.
Perhaps I should have just left it in God's hands?
No, Celia.
You were right to speak this morning.
All right.
Well, what's done is done, I suppose.
I must be on my way.
Let's see, who's next?
Betty Fouldwell.
Still working on your clothing appeal?
Oh, no. Same people, different cause.
Bye.
Bye, Celia.
Oh, Nev, it worked.
They took our advice.
Mind you, when I was talking to Elsa, I didn't think she was quite getting me drift.
Well, that's funny.
Well, I didn't think I was getting through to Alf either.
Brooke.
What is it?
It's found in the cupboard. Show me.
I'll chuck it out if you don't want to.
No, I've got something that goes with it.
Hey.
I can't imagine me doing this with anyone else.
What?
I decided over two mugs.
After I left Elsa's,
I went for a walk and I had a think.
That's a first for me.
Why? What do you usually do?
Oh, fly off the handle and leave it at that.
I'm really sorry for the ratty way I carried on in the shop.
I know you're doing the best you can with the van.
The wallpaper was a nice surprise.
Good.
And I can handle Bobby.
I've only got to put up with her for a few weeks.
Your dad hasn't been having a go at you, has he?
Yeah, but I don't know.
Listening to you, it sort of sinks in better.
Do you know what I mean?
No, not really.
Well, it does. You're good for me.
I know how I am sometimes
and I can't help it.
And the mugs are a piece of it, right?
No.
I wanted to bring over something just for us.
Franken-Ru.
Oops. Sorry, wasn't looking.
Do you want to watch TV after we've done this?
Maybe.
What about that new cop show?
Never seen it.
The lead actor's a spunk.
Is he?
Yeah. If you like.
Well, you don't have to if you don't want to.
No, it's fine.
It's good. Good.
No.
Floss, wake up.
I'll live.
Oh, shoot.
You must have been having a nightmare.
Oh, it was terrible.
Just terrible.
You're trembling.
I saw it.
The Fletches are all in it.
I saw it.
Calm down, love. Calm down.
I saw everything that's going to happen.
One of the Fletches is going to die.
And now I know who it is
and how it's going to end.
Don't, darling Thomas.
If you want a street chucked in magic chuck,
