There's some of the boys up, and yeah, hopefully I'll be there at the end of the day.
What do you do when the only person who can avoid full-scale nuclear war is unavailable?
The computer assures us the codes are known only to Coco Leo.
Coco Leo, as I recall, is Richard Nixon.
A renegade nuclear warhead is just the beginning.
The silo is impenetrable because there's everyone in it.
New target.
When midnight strikes, what will you do?
Happy New Year!

Time for our play of the day from the playground we call the Gold Coast.
There is something about Indie that just makes you want to watch.

And we just thought they deserved something special.
Something really special.
Our play of the day.
Very hard work.
That's our show of sports tonight for Tuesday, October 12.

Children with juvenile insulin dependent diabetes are at constant risk.
Too little insulin and they risk horrendous complications.
Too much and they may need a quick source of sugar, like a jelly baby, to save their own lives.
There has to be a better way.
We won't stop until we find it.
Help us by joining in our walk for the cure on October 17.

Turn me on, turn me on.
If you want me, like I want you.
If you need me, like I need you.
Suddenly I find, you're always on my mind.
You've turned my life around upside down.
I wanna be with you, and wait a moment longer.
I wanna be with you, this feeling's getting stronger.
I wanna be with you, I know this is the right time.
I wanna be with you, morning, noon and night time.
Hey, what's the emergency?
Oh, Vince, I'm so glad you're here. I was starting to think that I was gonna be stuck in here forever.
Ruben's missing.
What?
No, what she means is Ruben hasn't turned up for his shift and I need to get ready for this double date that I have tonight.
So I was wondering if you could take over until he arrives.
What do you mean he's missing?
Nobody's heard from him at all and he was supposed to be back hours ago.
Yeah, but it doesn't mean he's missing, does it?
Exactly.
This guy, Gabrielle, has said that he doesn't want Cherie having her friends around.
No one will get in my way, remember?
Look, I think you've been watching too much TV, okay?
So, can you help me out or not?
Yeah, sure.
Thanks.
Now, Nancy Drew, if you crack the case, let me know.
Do you really think he could be in trouble?
It's not possible.
Well, what about Cherie? Is she home by herself?
Yeah, I should go and check up on her.
She probably knows where Ruben is.
Maybe, but if you turn up in the meantime, let me know.
No worries.
So, you've decided to join us.
Well, here I am trying to run a profitable business and my right-hand man can't even be bothered to show up to work on time.
Like I said, Chaps, I've got a few personal problems.
And if it's not one thing, it's another.
Couldn't you just pick up the phone?
If you're having more than personal problems, if I find myself stuck here playing parking attendant again...
Oh, look, and this is your assistant, Jack. Jack, this is Slim.
Now, I don't want him picking up any bad habits, all right?
I've got to depend on someone to keep this business operational.
That doesn't count on me, Chaps.
Yeah, well, I've wasted enough time here today.
So, let's see if we can keep our head above water without me around, eh, fellas?
Well, what are you standing around for?
These cars aren't gonna wash themselves.
Hey, which outfit?
The pants or the dress?
Um, the pants.
How do I know you're gonna say that? Pants it is, then.
Hey, why aren't you ready yet?
I am ready.
Well, you can't go like that.
Oh, why not?
Well, Xanthi said you need to dress simple but formal.
Which means what?
Oh, something that involves maybe a shirt and a tie.
Look, I thought this was meant to be just a friendly dinner, not a wedding.
Look, it's meant to be romantic.
You know, two couples dressed for dinner in an elegant restaurant.
You know, it's one of Nick's old favourites, you know, so it's quite swish.
I can hardly wait.
Listen to you. Anyone would think you didn't want to come.
Oh, look, I just...
I don't know what the big deal is, that's all.
Boris, it isn't a big deal, OK?
It's just a relaxing evening with friends.
Friends? I don't even know the guy.
Oh, Nick, look, you'll love Nick.
I mean, he's interesting and intelligent and adventurous.
I bet you two will get on like a house on fire.
Oh, yeah, I'll just bet.
All right, then, I'll break out the penguin suit.
No, no, I wouldn't go that far.
I was joking.
Good, good. Now, hurry up and get ready, OK?
You don't want Xanthi and Nick turning up while you're slaying your wife runs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um...
Who is it?
Um, it's only me, it's only me.
What are you doing home?
I'm trying to track down Ruben.
Um, you haven't heard from him.
Uh, no, he said he'd be gone for most of the day.
Yeah, but the day's almost over and he shouldn't be back by now.
Luce, why are you addressing Ruben?
Well, the letter.
That last one that you got.
What?
Well, it suddenly dawned on me.
All this stuff about wanting to protect you
and not hiding behind those around you.
Well, I thought that this Gabriel guy
might figure that Ruben's getting in his way.
In his way?
What does that mean?
You think he's after Ruben?
Yeah.
Look, he was here all night with you last night
and now he hasn't shown up for his shift at the cafe
and when Fiona rang the wires office, they said he never made it.
Oh, God, what do we do?
Should we send a search party, ring the police?
What? I don't know. We haven't got any proof.
What, so we just wait until Ruben's body turns up?
God, Luce, when is this gonna end?
Hey, hey, don't fall apart on me now, OK?
It's probably just my overactive imagination running wild.
Ruben probably just had a change of plans, that's all.
I just wish he'd told someone.
Ruben gave Jack a lift to work.
Maybe he knows something.
Well, he dropped me off at work and that was it.
I have no idea where he could be now.
Did he say anything about a change of plans,
like not going to the wires office?
No, nothing.
This isn't looking good at all.
Aren't you taking this whole obsessed fan thing a bit too far?
Look, I know it seems far-fetched, OK,
but no one has seen or heard from Ruben all day.
And what about the statue? I mean, what's that all about?
Anything the matter here, Jack?
No, no, nothing. Just going through some domestic problems.
Domestic, eh?
Well, don't let the job get in the way, will you?
You wouldn't want to be a potential customer.
Let me tell you, you wouldn't want to be a potential employee.
But listen, Luce, you've got to be careful.
I mean, you're feeding your own paranoia
and you're freaking Cherie out in the process.
Do you think you could go round and check up on her a bit later?
I don't know.
I've got a heap of cars to wash.
And as you've noticed, I'm the only bunny here doing any work.
Jack.
OK, I can't promise anything, but I'll see what I can do.
OK.
Cherie!
Oh, Ruben! Where have you been?
I've been so worried. Thank God you're OK.
Hey, what do you have for dinner? Why? What's wrong?
Lucy thought you'd been kidnapped.
Kidnapped? No, the beast broke down. Overheated, I think.
And if I don't get to work soon, Fiona's going to overheat as well.
So who was supposed to have kidnapped me?
Gabriel, of course.
Before you go, I want to run through a couple of things with you.
This is the logbook for all our regular clients.
We need the details of everyone who uses our faculties
with any special requests they might have
when they bring their cars in to be washed.
The appointment car park?
Exactly. That chubby's been on to you about this already, hasn't he?
Taking full credit for my ideas.
No, no, no, he was just...
And if it wasn't for me, he'd still be stuck here with this old garage,
having to cough up big bucks every year when rates come round.
I bet he didn't tell you that, did he?
No, no, but he did say how great your ideas were.
And you know, Slim, I'd park my car here if I had one.
Right, so the logbook.
You get their names, where they live, and, you know, everything they want.
And I mean right down to the last hubcap.
If they have a Pacific request and we fulfill it,
they're more likely to remember us next time
because they don't want their cars washed or parked.
Well, why do we need to know where they live?
We're establishing our target market.
Which means?
Which means if we have a, you know, like, special or something,
we could deliver demotional flies, you know, that sort of thing.
I'd appreciate it if you took care of that for me.
No problem.
Don't forget that. And make sure you're wearing.
Oh, Seth.
Sorry I'm early, but Nick got caught up at the hospital.
And I was all dressed up and had nowhere to go.
So here I am.
Yeah.
You know, last time I saw you looking this good was at my next wedding.
Yeah, thanks.
Look, come in, come in.
Is it OK if I leave this here?
You know, while we're out?
Yeah, yeah, no problem.
Do you want a drink or something while you wait?
Yeah, that'd be great.
Wine?
Sure.
The apartment.
It's kind of like your old one,
apart from what must be Steve's idea of furniture.
Yeah, well, um, you know, Steve.
Doesn't have much...
Bachelor living, hey?
No, a little bit more like teenage cleaners, actually.
Full house?
Yeah, tell me about it.
Never mind.
Here we go.
Well, here's to a lovely evening.
Yeah.
Thanks.
I wouldn't mind drinking to that.
Cheers.
You look absolutely beautiful.
Oh, Zanthe, you're already here.
And looking fabulous.
Your hair just looks sensational, Curly.
I should do mine like that.
Well, aren't you gonna give me a juice or something?
Thank you.
Oh, I'm so excited about tonight.
We're gonna have so much fun.
Wednesday,

Hi, Dad.
I'm the American president.
George Washington.
And who was the first prime minister of Australia?
Can't ask you, Mum.
Mum!
What kind of country would forget
the name of its first prime minister?
I've got no idea.
Couldn't tell you. Have an excuse.
I don't know.
Perhaps it's because in 1901 our nation
was created with a vote, not a war.
In peace, not in anger.
That we take our beginnings for granted.
I've got no idea.
Don't know. I'm not sure.
The Centenary of Federation in 2001
is a time to celebrate those beginnings
and to ask ourselves
what kind of country we want for the future.
I think it was Bart.
Edmund Barton.
Because although we're building on a strong foundation,
the Australia of tomorrow
will be what we make it.
It was Edmund Barton.
I knew that.
When I grow up, I'm going to be
the principal ballerina for the Royal Ballet.
I'm going to win the Round the World Solo Yacht Race.
Children today
grow up realising anything is possible.
I want to win gold for Australia.
When I grow up, I want to win
the New York Marathon.
An inspiration they've embraced from their Olympic heroes.
Stand up and cheer Australia.
Be proud of every one of them.
The Australian Olympic Team.
The inspiration of our nation.
