I want to stay forever home and away with you each day.
Let me be the one that you turn to. Someone you can rely on.
Closer each day, home and away.
If I, like some five year old, it's about time you grew up.
And if you don't stop this right now, you're going to be the sorriest kid beside of a black stump.
What are you going to do? Hit me?
I'm going to send you to boarding school. That's what I'm going to do.
Fine. Send me then. See if I get.
Well that's it. You've done your dash kid.
Until you can behave yourself, I don't want you around here.
You're going to boarding school.
Sometimes the world can get you paid. And you can be a friend and there's no other way. But you're not alone when you're part of this town.
Living in summer pain. Living in summer pain. Living in summer pain.
applause
just think will you Floss please once more think what you're doing
I've thought I've thought

hello girls
hey big day today isn't it
yep
are you sure they won't know who you are
not a chance our son's overseas and none of their friends have ever been allowed to meet us
I think that's terrible
sounds like a real jerk to me
oh well he thought he had his reasons and sometimes things work out for the best anyway
you know it's fate like me getting this chance to meet Ben
did you see it in the cast
no it wasn't like that
you don't need cards to see a flaming disaster
I am not changing me mind Neville so you might as well save your breath
business is picking up good for Tom and Pippa

oh we're just gonna go and help Mrs. Pappas out a bit on the farm
oh you want a lift
yeah sure
well now how are you gonna get home
I don't know it'll be okay
how's the band going
well it's gone off the boil since Friday night
we had a couple of practices this week but it's just gone a bit dead
I thought you were really great
so what are you gonna do next
don't know maybe some local gigs if anyone wants it
with Pippa
Lance and Martin are pushing for her to front the band full time
Pippa thinks it's a bit of a joke
oh what do you think
oh she could do it she's got a great voice I just don't know whether anyone would be
bothered making it work
well you're really full of cheer today aren't you
wouldn't have anything to do with the absence of a certain young person would it
she's not in permanent exile you know only boarding school
everyone will get over it including Alf
yeah I don't know else can you start trusting someone again once you've stopped
I don't know depends on how much you think they've changed I suppose
oh hello Celia

thanks
a sympathetic ear an objective viewpoint
okay I'll see you later
I'm a good listener
oh that was a supersonic exit well done
I offered a compassionate ear what's wrong with that?
I'm as qualified as anyone to understand young people's problems
in fact truth be known more qualified than most
I'm closer to them in age than you are Elsa dear
oh well perhaps another time perhaps another time
oh wow look at that
hello mr. Fisher what are you doing?
very much what it looks like miss Morris
carting fowl manure
it's excellent for feeding the soil as you may or may not know
you're helping mrs. Pappas too
is there any reason why I shouldn't?
no
well it's hard for her to manage without Nico
look I realize you regard me as partly responsible
it may interest you to know I feel partly responsible
well um we'll
shut your mouth miss Morris fowl manure attracts flies
you both just come to look at the scenery or you planning to help
oh we'll help
I'm rather enjoying this
so am I
well I wouldn't want to do it all the time but well once in a while it's rather pleasant
come and help me with the fence
last chance

to change your mind
listen I'll just turn the car around and we'll drive straight back we'll grab some fish and chips
on the way and everything will be just like it should be

I must say you're looking particularly handsome today. I was just telling Bert,
this is Bert, that he's one of my favorite kinds of flora. this is another
flora I'm particularly fond of. flora margarine like Bert contains no
artificial colors, flavors, additives. such a lovely deliciously light taste
that... but I mustn't talk too loud. Bert gets very jealous you know. flora with no
artificial colors, flavors, additives. it's one of the best things in the country.
ready for the getaway when you are sir. hold tight Japs. gotta get away you gotta
get an Astra.
I'm beaten in its class sir. handles beautifully. nothing like RTS sir.
what you can't do with this afterwards. I'll take it home to the family sir.
the all-new Astra Zidane from Holden. send in the label from a 50 or 100 gram
tin of international roast coffee and you could win one of ten luxurious
fully imported Daihatsu charades. enter now. sorry I've got to rush off. don't
worry mrs. Lacey. I've had plenty of experience. I'm not worried about you. no
no it's more... well look whatever it is just don't worry. I can handle it. here's
my phone number in case you have any trouble. thanks but I'm sure I won't. yes
well if you do I'm there in the evenings and thank you very much for coming mrs.
Neville. hello Ben.
Ben I'm mrs. Neville. mrs. Lacey told you didn't she that I was coming to stay for
a few weeks. aren't you gonna say hello? if you wait five minutes I can give you
a lift as far as the school. no it'll be all right we'll just hitch or something.
what did you say young lady? don't you have any idea of the dangers involved
in hitchhiking? if I didn't he's about to tell me. apart from the normal risks
which are considerable in any case have you forgotten that someone with a
distinctly twisted mind is at large in the district? no but I... are your foster
parents aware that you hitchhike? well I haven't done it. stay there stay right there five
more minutes you can afford that surely. and he went on and on all the way into
school. well he's right you shouldn't hitchhike you know that. yeah but he
doesn't have to say the same thing 600 times. I mean it's not as though he cares
about us or anything. he's never wanted us here. he certainly wouldn't want to see
anything happen to you. Donald is a teacher through and through and you're
one of his students and his book he has to care about you. she's right you know.
he's got to be cracked. look it's Saturday afternoon and where does he go
back to school to work? well there's probably a lot to be done with while
Bertram's still away. do you think mr. Bertram will ever come back? oh who knows
he's pretty near to retiring he might not think it's worth the trouble. you
never know where you are with Fisher that's the problem. I mean one minute he's
almost nice and then he's all... well he's had a lot of unhappiness in his life. has he?
yeah. go on. it's personal. come on you can't stop now. how do you expect us to
understand him if we don't know? you'll have me as bad as Celia if you're not
careful. okay he was once married you know. yeah to one of our sisters wasn't it?
mmm Barbara. what happened? she wanted to be a musician. she wanted to very badly
actually but marrying Donald put an end to that. did she have to marry him? we
won't go into that. anyway she couldn't settle down the marriage went bad so she
left taking their daughter with her and he's been his lovable self ever since.
funny you never think of him with a family. maybe he's getting better. he was
nice today for a while anyway. nobody's all bad. oh who knows he's got a long way
to go but maybe the human being's starting to surface again.
lunch is ready Ben. I said lunch is ready it'll get cold. starving yourself won't
prove anything will it? Ben will you please come to the table?
super supreme the ultimate pizza from the home of pan pizza.
this is a story of a freight box. which one day became a packing case. which became a mailing
tube. which became a toy forest. because cardboard can be recycled over and over
again it helps conserve our forests. APM cardboard its wonders never cease.
look at the monkey. I'm starving. me too. Suze did you bring the um no I thought.
look it's really the eater eater. good day loves. no eat a five star. no worries loves. eat a five star. spread so smooth. taste just great.
what do you reckon loves? eater five star. great taste. great value. the Vulcan
Dishleks people are so keen to impress they put a packet of finish inside every
dishwasher they sell. sort of an insurance policy I guess. let's have a
coffee. would you like Swiss French or Vienna style?
Swiss. French. then I'll have Vienna. it's not too much travel. why have ordinary
coffee when you can now have the international flavor of Jarrah coffee
mixes in an instant. coffee machine. Jarrah instant coffee mixes. turn your
kettle into a coffee machine. mmm delicious. thanks. hmm well I think I
ought to tell him. hmm I think I ought to tell mr. Fisher I'm sorry I thought he
poisoned Derek and Nico's cow. why for heaven's sake? well you heard Al so maybe
he's not so bad. he didn't even know you thought that. he did I told him I did so
I should tell him I don't anymore. Frank will you deal with this I'm busy. I should
tell him shouldn't I Frank? I suppose so. don't say that. well there's nothing wrong with telling
someone you made a mistake. there is when it's old flathead. well I'm gonna find
him now before I get cold feet. you just want to get good marks. I'll let her do it if
she wants to and maybe it's a good sign. of what? you know the way she decided
God was a bit of a dead loss for letting Nico cop it. she wasn't the only one. yeah
but it didn't bother you that much did it? I mean it's important to her God and
all that stuff. since then she's been thinking the world's a pretty lousy
place. and you think she's starting to see it really isn't so bad after all.
yeah I hope so. Summer Bay High School Don Fisher. Walter how are you feeling? I've
been wondering how you've been managing. ah I see and and and when?
ah two weeks. yes yes yes right of course yes. no no no no nothing nothing at all.
it was I was just engrossed in some work that's all.
well I'm sure the whole school will be glad to welcome you back.
yes yes till then goodbye.
what are you doing here? well I just wanted... you left something behind have
you? well get it and leave and please hurry up. mr. Fisher. yes. I'm sorry for
what I've been thinking. and what exactly have you been thinking? I don't think it
anymore. oh well that's a relief. now I mean I used to think you might have
poisoned Derek and Nico's cow. did you? was this a fashionable opinion? well
anyway I don't think it anymore. thank you mr. Avonport. from among my many
faults you can safely exclude poisoning animals. now please find whatever it was
who came for and be on your way.
hello Donald. mind if I sit down?
be my guest. what's wrong?
is that obvious? not really. you want to talk about it?
good old ale sir. everybody's mate always understand.
oh well if you're in that sort of mood.
I didn't mean it. I've been drowning in my sorrows that's all.
yeah so I gathered. not like you.
you haven't heard have you?
about Paul Bertram. no what's happened?
he's fully recovered. this afternoon. oh that's terrible.
he's decided to come back to school. he's only a year off retiring. why bother?
he knows I do a better job. why can't he just bow out gracefully? perhaps he
cares about him too. he's gone now. I could have just stepped in. fate accompanied.
they would have confirmed the postman. if he hangs about sets a retirement date
they'll look around. I'll be passed over yet again.
well you can't assume that Donald. anyway what does another year or two matter?
it won't hurt that much will it? it all hurts.
it hurts like hell. I'm too old. too old to be supervising school yards. telling
dumb kids to pick up papers. that's all I am.
it's all I've achieved. I wish you'd stop this Donald. it's not doing you any good.
why not? other people get to feel sorry for themselves now and again. why not me?
I tell you I'm not gonna take it much longer.
what do you mean? I'm not gonna be the mouth that always gets passed over. I'll quit.
you what? I'll threaten to quit.
yes but you wouldn't actually do it would you?
I don't see you raising cabbages on the doll.
is that all you think I'm worth?
oh can't be so stupid of course I know. I think you're worth a great deal.
you're a good friend now sir. thanks.
