I don't know about you, but that's not what I want out of life. If that's all we have to look forward to, then we might as well end this marriage right now. There's something about Elise that drives Tony wild. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Do you like my flowers, Symbol? There was something about this cutlery out champ found irresistible. It's, um, it's like it's far go. There's something about Sailor the Century that makes everybody happy. You can have it for eight. Return visit tonight on Channel 9. Wow, look at those teeth. Anyone for a bite? Does he use Colgate fluorogate, Mrs. Marsh? Who knows? The fluoride in Colgate certainly strengthens teeth, gets right into teeth, like this liquid gets into chalk. To make teeth really tough. Tough teeth. Oh, Colgate fluorogate. Only your dentist can give teeth a better fluoride treatment. Can't see any decay in here, Mrs. Marsh. It's not what you make, it's how you make it. The proof of the puddings and the tasting. That broccoli sure looks good to me. Your pumpkin mum is something to believe. And as for that potato, I've never tasted greater. You ought to be... Who ought to be? You ought to be congratulated. We are the boys from Alcan. Now what can we do for you?

There's no problem. Well, you asked to see me in private, didn't you? Well, does that necessarily mean there's something wrong? So let's, uh, start over, all right? How are you? I'm fine. Well, I don't exactly feel that's the case. I'm all right, really. Oh, you are? Yeah, did you get a chance to see Lauren? Now, listen, we're avoiding something here, Gina. What is it? Nothing. Nothing? No, nothing. Look, even if I were avoiding something, I wouldn't want to be making any demands on you by bringing it up. Now, where did that... where did that come from? If you think that I am smothering you or crowding you, for God's sake, I wish you wouldn't beat around the bush about it. I wish you'd just come right out with it. What are you talking about? Smothering me, crowding me? Why would you say something like that? Because you've been very preoccupied. And you obviously have a lot of other people on your mind. So if I'm an intrusion... Oh, this is crazy. Like I said, if I'm an intrusion... Would you please stop it? We had a really nice time, at least. I felt like we had a nice time. I felt like we did, too. I know that you want your freedom, and I certainly want you to have it. Now, what makes you so sure that you know exactly what I want? Have I ever said anything to you about that? Not in so many words, but I just thought that... Well, you thought wrong. I don't want our relationship to be over. In fact, I want just the opposite. I enjoy spending my time with you. I'd like to spend more time. In fact, that's one of the reasons why I came over to talk to you. Please don't play any games with me, because I... I care too much for you. I am not playing games, Gina. I don't toy with people's feelings. Then obviously you and I have a different idea about what a relationship is. What are you talking about? I want you to have your freedom. All right. Thank you. And I appreciate that. And now that I've been given this official freedom... I just want you to know that I would like very much to enjoy this freedom... with you. Please, Neil, don't do this to me. Okay, you don't believe me. Well, maybe this will convince you. There. Open it. Oh, my God. Now will you believe me? Neil. But what's your answer? You don't... Your nose. Yes. Yes, it is. It's John Abbott. Okay, it's John Abbott. Ashley. Ashley, please listen to me. No. Yes. Victor, this is John Abbott here. Just give me a little bit more time, John. No. I said no. I'm coming out there for my daughter now. I can be world champion. Tuesday night, meet the first of Michael Willis's Australians. He's good. Les Darcy, one of the world's great fighters. We need Les Darcy to enlist. One more porridge carrying one more gun.

He's in hospital. 8.30 Tuesday. Michael Willis's Australians online. There's one weight loss program that doesn't expect you to eat this. Instead, you can enjoy this.

Ashley, I can only hope that one day you will find it in your heart to forgive me. Forgive you for what? For what I just told you. Oh, the affair. Well, you're not the first woman to be unfaithful. And I'm sure you won't be the last. We are talking about much more than just an affair. I don't want to continue this discussion any longer. It was nice seeing you, Mother. Please leave. No, no, I won't. Not until I'm sure you understand. Understand? What? The truth. The truth. You're going to tell me about the truth? How dare you even presume to know the meaning of that word? You mustn't think your life is a lie. Mothers and I... You have grown up in a family that loves and treasures you. Oh, but I'm not a part of that family, am I? Isn't that what you're telling me? Isn't that the truth that you're so desperate for me to accept, Mother? You are very much a part of that family. You always have been. And nothing, nothing has really changed. How can you say that? Everything has changed. Everything! You come and you tell me that John Abbott is not my father. And that wonderful man, that sweet man that I've loved all my life. We've always been so close, but Daddy... You took that away. All of it. Have you listened to yourself? How could you do it? I want to know how! How could you leave that wonderful man to have an affair with that slimy alcoholic? How could you do that? How? How? I want to know how! How? Listen, how did you know Brenda was an alcoholic? You... you told me that. No, I did not tell you that. Neither did your mother tell you that. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. No! You know what? You're remembering now. Yes. No. Yes. No. You're not serious, are you? Lauren, what do you want from this marriage? I love you. And I love you. That doesn't seem to be enough, does it? What do you want me to do? Want me to give up my career? No. No. It's not the answer. You can't do that. It's part of your life now forever. But then you're saying that if I continue to sing, you're going to end our marriage. Lauren, I was the one who encouraged you to pursue this in the first place. I know. But somewhere along the line, you changed your mind. No. You've changed. You've lost all perspective on what's important. And how? How have I done that? By putting your career ahead of your marriage. Lauren, you make decisions now without even talking to me first. You go to somebody else for support. See, there's no place for me in your life anymore. I don't want to end our marriage. I need you. Yeah, well, you also need your career, and that seems to have priority right now. Yeah, but you were always telling me that I could have both. That's good. But there's no balance in your life anymore. Well, if there was, would it change your mind? I don't know that's possible. Well, I think it is. How? You've made me realize that marriage is a compromise, and we both need to make concessions. Well, I'm ready to make one. You are? I know I've made mistakes, but bottom line is I don't want to lose you. Sweetheart, those are just words. They don't mean anything. What would you say if I said that I was ready to give you what you want? What? A baby. I'm talking about you wanting to start a family. I want to make you happy, and I want you to make me happy. I think you better spell that out to me. Okay. If you don't hassle me with my career or with Sean, I will try to get pregnant. Paul, I'll go off the pill tonight. You do remember, don't you? Ashley, Ashley, please, please. I will take it from here, okay? So why don't you just go home? Just go. Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Gina Roma. Love, there are no words to say what I feel in my heart. You, you're on my mind all day, and it hurts me when we're apart. When you're not here by my side, there's nothing in this world for me. I guess I'm crazy, crazy for you, can't you see? And although you may think it's crazy, here is where I want to be. I will always need your love. Well, now I can see every dream. When I look in your eyes, and though things never are what they seem, there is one thing that I realize, that there's no doubt in my mind, we can make this love go on forever. I guess I'm crazy, crazy for you, can't you see? And although you may think I'm crazy, here is where I'll always be. I need you with me, cause you are the dream that finally came true for me. And all of my life, there'll be no one else. If I looked all my life, there could be no one else. For the rest of my life, all I need is you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. I just wanted to say that tonight is very special for me, and I'd like to make a special announcement. It's probably one of the happiest times in a woman's life, because you see, I have this very wonderful man in my life, and as of tonight, we are engaged. Can you believe it? Come up here. I'd like you to meet my fiancé. Please, honey, come up here. Yes, help him. He won't come up without your back. Come up here. You're telling me you're willing to go off the pill? I won our marriage, and I'm willing to compromise. Providing that I don't come down on your career. I think that's fair, don't you? Sweetheart, you know how I feel about our having a child. I just hope it's something that you don't learn to regret. It was my idea in the first place. Do we have a deal? I'll take that as a yes. Do you know how much I love you? I'm beginning to. Ashley. You stay away from me, Victor. Just stay away from me. Let's talk, babe. How could you do this to me? I trusted you. You can trust me. No! You betrayed me! You had her come here and tell me those things I did not want to hear. Don't you understand? I didn't want to hear it. Wasn't Garth through all this once enough? Brett Davis took my father away from me the first time, and now you and my mother have done it again. No. Yes, you did. I'm dying inside, Victor. Why? Why? Sail. Where? Echo. Where? Now. Knitwear. What wear? Ladies knitwear. Sail. Where? Oh, no. Echo. When? Now. Ah, that's where they are. Four stores. Really? Nearly there. Burke and Wills have nothing on us. Let's go home. Another great dirty weekend. I'll say. Let's get cleaned up, then I'll start on these. Cold power takes care of this kind of dirt. In fact, nothing's better than cold power on really tough dirt and odours in cold water. Hey, this looks great. Smells terrific. Ready, Burke? After you, Wills. Nothing beats cold power in cold water. If women could relax flat out instead of working flat out, they wouldn't want Oberon. There'd be no pressure, no stress, and they'd have time to eat properly so Oberon wouldn't help. They wouldn't want the extra B vitamins which the body can't store, especially the B6, nor the iron, nor the vitamin C. No, they wouldn't want Oberon at all to help them stay on top of a busy life. In a Maggie Tabra fashion parade, everything has to be the best. And you're the best, Joan. Not without this new blackened deck of light and easy iron, Maggie. Silverstone sole plate and heat settings for even the most delicate fabrics. A big surge of steam for the heaviest denim. A three metre swivel cord. And Black and Decker's patent itself clean system. What a great iron, Joan. And it's so safe, it even turns itself off automatically, if you forget. Black and Decker, light and easy. Suits me to a tee. 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. I know that you're disillusioned and that you're angry with me. You were the one person that I trusted. And you betrayed me. Ashley, the... The pain that you're feeling right now is not the pain of dying, it is... It's the pain of coming alive now. No. Yes. Then maybe I'd be better off dead. I feel so alone. And I feel so empty. You're not alone. I'm here, you have your family, you have your father, you have your mother. I hate her. How could she do that? How could she go to bed with that despicable drunk? That drunk is my father. That makes me sick to think of it. Oh, I hate him. And I hate her. Will you tell me? Will you tell me what I have to live for? I'll tell you, I have nothing. I mean it all. I have nothing. Listen to me. Look at me. You have yourself, do you understand that? You have yourself to live for now. And who's that? I don't know who that is anymore. Who am I? That is where we have to begin now. We have to begin to teach you to know yourself all over again, okay? I'm scared. I'm afraid what I'm going to learn about me. You're beautiful, Ashley. Look at me. You don't have to be afraid. You will never be alone again. Not while I'm here. No. No. No. No. No. Coming up next today's episode are General Hastert and then Come On Kids. The final. Presenting the finale to the 15th Winter Games. Like all good things, it must end. And we'll shout you the best seats in the house for the spectacular closing ceremony at McMahon Stadium. We'll see who wins the medal in the men's foreman Bob. And at the Saddle Down, all the champs, all the stars of the game strut their stuff in the exhibition skate. Mike Gibson presents all those golden moments. The history, the heroes and the spectacle. In our final telecast from the 15th Winter Games tonight, 8.30 on 9. Good afternoon again, Brian Smith. With news break, Townsville has batted down as gale force winds from tropical cyclone Charlie continued up at the coast between Townsville and Bowen. However, the intensity of the cyclone is lessening and there are a few reports of damage. Queensland Premier Micah Herne has met with suspended Chief Police Commissioner Sir Terence Lewis today, but is saying little apart from the fact that State Cabinet will discuss the matter next week. Sir Terence turned 60 today and became eligible for retirement with a superannuation payment of between $600,000 and $1 million. Federal Secretary of the Transport Workers Union, Ivan Hodgson, says the dispute involving petrol tanker drivers could spread, following the invoking of emergency powers by New South Wales Premier Barry Unsworth. And a round of the World 500cc Motorcycle World Championship will be held at Phillip Island next April. The race will be the second of the 16-race Grand Prix Series. In Melbourne, it's fine, sunny and 20 degrees. Melbourne's leading hour of news and current affairs, each weeknight at 6 on Channel 9. Returning Tuesday, 9.30. Matlock. All-new Matlock, Tuesday, 9.30, Channel 9. And 31, 32, 33, come on, two more, 34. You all did so well with those today, I think we can call it quits. And, and, please remember, please remember, you, you took such good care of your tummy today, watch what you put in it, all right? Richard, can we talk to you a minute? Sure. Hi, Mrs. DeFries. Hi, Rachel. You're looking great. Thanks. I don't really know how to bring this up. I think she needs a little encouragement to give over that plateau she's been on. I haven't lost any weight in two weeks. I mean, I haven't gained any weight, but I haven't lost any weight. And I've been following the LIVID program literally. No more pizza, binges, or any snacks or anything? Oh, absolutely not. Let's see, if it's not snacks and it's not binges, well, it may be dinner. What time are you eating dinner at the house? Well, Daddy comes home around, well, we eat around 8 or 8.30. That's it. What? What do you mean? I mean, you're eating too late. Anything you eat after six, it just takes longer to digest. So what I would do is have a nice lunch and eat a light, light dinner and eat early. That's it. And you'll see your plateau will go away. You know, that might work. I never thought of it. Well, that's my job. I thought of it for you. Have a good day. Thanks, Richard. Thanks a lot. Did you hurt yourself? No, Susan, it's only a muscle cramp. Sorry to disappoint you. Well, Tracy, how do you talk? Actually, I came over to commiserate with you. I understand you lost your motion to have your sister-in-law's deposition unsealed. Such a pity. Isn't that sweet of you to be so concerned, but I really hope you haven't lost any sleep with anyone over it. Not a chance. I didn't think so. Take care of that leg. I'd really hate to see you out of the run. Permanently. Mrs. Williams. Now that things have worked out the way they have, and you've lost in court, I hope you'll leave my father alone. I beg your pardon, Laura. I think he's had enough of your persecution, Mrs. Williams. In fact, I think the entire Weber family has. Well, I've been ambushed. Well, good morning, Dr. Weber. Good morning, Rose. How come you're not dressed for work, or is this the latest in surgery wear? I'm taking the day off, and I think I'm entitled to it. Well, after what happened over at the quartermaid house, I'd say you are, too. According to Joe, everybody came out of it okay? Yeah, I think we're all very lucky. And how's your daughter? Laura, she's fine. Where it has it along the waterfront that the man who raped her did not die accidentally? What exactly do you mean? They're saying it was a hit. I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about. Johnny was connected to the underworld. I think you should know. Not that there's any danger to Laura because she was associated with that character, but... well, you never know. Hey, Sammy, all over this building looking for you. Yeah, they check me out. So what prompted you to drop by this hour of the day? You're the investigating officer into the death of John Colby, aren't you? Yeah, do you have something for me? Cliff, I don't know if I do or not. I was talking with John Colby not a half hour before he was... before his accident. Just talk or talk where he said something? No, no, no, he said something. He said he was afraid. He needed money to get out of town. He said his life was in danger. From what source? That he didn't say. You know, his death has been puzzling me. I looked into his record. There's no history of rape, attempted or otherwise. That is just it. I know he's not that kind of a guy. Makes it all very strange. Very coincidental. Laura Baldwin's husband having to be in the vicinity of the accident. I don't know. No, no, that's not as coincidental as you might think. See, Scotty works for Frank Smith. Or Scotty's father's law firm does anyhow. Smith owns the bar and grill and several other buildings down the waterfront. Yes, we knew that. Tell me something, Joe. Do you think there's really a connection between Johnny Colby's death and Laura Baldwin? I mean more than rape. Laura Baldwin, I mean more than rape. Peter Phelps is the legendary Les Darcy. Some thought he should have been a soldier, not a boxer. I'm not a coward, Father. 8.30 Tuesday on Michael Willis' Australians. Try this with the hand and body lotion you're using now.

What possible connection could there be between Johnny and Laura? Other than the rape. That's it. I don't know. You've got Laura. You've got Johnny. You've got Frank Smith. And now guess what? You've got a third employee of Frank Smith's. Scotty Baldwin. I mean, what's happening in this town? You don't have to work for Frank Smith. Why? Oh, do I detect a bug about Frank Smith? Private opinion. For your ears only. Outcome for my ears only? Well, because you're street smart. And you don't work for the police department. And because Johnny was an informer for you. And because it's not a very healthy position for me to have these suspicions I have about Mr. Frank Smith for years. There you have it. It makes two of us. I've got the exact same suspicions about Smith. Want to do something about it? Officially or unofficially? How about 200 bucks a week out of petty cash? Off the record. Just spend a little time looking into this. All right. And you might find that there are even more people involved. Meaning? Laura, Scotty, Johnny, Frank Smith, and number five, our mystery man, Luke Spencer. Who just happens to work for Frank Smith. Who just happens to work for Frank Smith.
