00:00I have decided to invite dad to the wedding she has not thought this through last time those two
00:12were in the same room together in years was awful for both of them we really want to risk that
00:16happening again I'm not admitting that Levi was right but maybe our wedding it's the wrong time
00:21for me to repair with dad so I'm gonna do it beforehand test the waters with him why don't
00:26you take yourself out for dinner and give yourself an early mark that's a great idea love I might give
00:30John a ring see if he's interested another dinner invite from mr. popular what are you doing well
00:36I am clearly working what is the matter with you I've been waiting for you at salt for the last
00:41half an hour why we're supposed to be having dinner together are we you asked me to close
00:47up tonight do you remember well obviously I don't look have booked a table at salt for eight
00:56okay break sober in five I literally just sat down congratulations four minutes back bye bye
01:14hi you too hey please tell me you managed to render some time off I'm on call but hopefully it's quiet
01:19so I can pitch in great three minutes ignore her she's in the mood what's going on Justin's asked
01:24me to host Kirby's launch which means I've got a million things to organize only 48 hours to do
01:27it in that doesn't sound like much no she's a maid it's because neither life I think it's
01:30it's not about the notice about the manpower two minutes wait okay one minute what and we're done
01:34thank you yeah fine have my food I won't say no hey is Eden around I actually haven't seen
01:41her all week do you know how things went when she reached out to that that's what I wanted to ask
01:44about I just had a very interesting conversation with him I've lost it I'm serious there is
01:49something wrong with me have one of these David dropped them around hang on your your sarge gave
01:55you beer yeah I'll tell you about it later you go first okay um so you know how I called dad yes he
02:01said that it was basically okay but it was a bit awkward very awkward but yeah you were going to
02:04follow up on it I did I mean I have and and we had a civil chat and then we had a massive fight and
02:10then he called back and then my mouth became detached from my brain and I told him to come and visit
02:13sorry you invited your dad to the bay yes when tomorrow that's great that's really babe it is
02:20not great you need to call him for me and you need to take it back yes no no way it's not my place
02:26what use are you then John I don't have time for this what do you mean you don't have time we're
02:33supposed to be having dinner like now I don't know what to tell you what's going on I thought you two
02:37were having dinner it's been cancelled why maybe I didn't want to go out to dinner with you you
02:46invited me out well maybe I changed my mind darling is it because of the alcohol because I know you said
02:52earlier that you were fine with going to a bar but maybe you weren't Maz you can always see straight
02:59through me I thought I was fine but maybe I'm just not ready to trust myself yet there's nothing
03:07to be ashamed of no one's strong all the time okay well let's let's have let's just eat here
03:14or better still come back to my place I'm pretty sure I can rustle up something pretty good
03:17uh you know what John I might take a uh a rain check I just want to be by myself now I'll see you all
03:24tomorrow
03:25oh thanks
03:38don't like me thanks Sarge
03:40I get why you're stressed
03:43having your dad here is a big deal
03:46last time he was here things got pretty heated
03:49yeah yeah so you must have a reason for asking him to visit
03:54babe you know the reason if I'm gonna invite him to our wedding I need to spend some time with
03:59him in the flesh first that's a good idea
04:01then raise my body telling me otherwise you're gonna be okay
04:08and you're not alone I have the entire day off so if you need anything at all I'm just across the street
04:14baby you're my wife
04:18baby you're my wife
04:20baby you're my wife
04:24baby you're my wife
04:28baby you're my wife
04:31oh coffee
04:35oh thank you
04:37thought I'd find you here
04:39yeah how'd you figure that
04:41well the board was gone
04:42car was gone I put two and two together
04:44yeah well I barely slept
04:46I just am too excited about Kirby's launch
04:48yeah
04:48yeah so I figured I'd come down here get refreshed and then get stuck back into organizing
04:52you know it is amazing how refreshed you can feel when you're not waking me up in the middle of the night
04:57okay I still don't know why you are complaining about that
05:00plus when the timing's right I'll be back at it again mister so you better buckle up
05:05don't you mean unbuckle
05:06do I dance
05:07hang on
05:08what
05:09this better not be work
05:10oh who is it
05:12Eden
05:12no way
05:14problem
05:16uh yeah I think we may have entered into an alternative timeline
05:19did Eden just send you a message as well
05:22yeah please tell me I'm not going insane and that Eden actually did invite us to a barbecue at her place
05:26with dad
05:26I mean it sounds like they're reconciling
05:28yeah totally until dad says something that Eden decides to take offense to and all hell breaks loose
05:32well it sounds like you should pack a mouth guard just in case
05:34it sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen
05:37you haven't told her the best part yet have you
05:39me why what are you talking about
05:40Eden invited you as well
05:42oh
05:43and you
05:45one big happy family
05:46all righty barbecue's clean you're a good girl out there thanks having said that it's
05:56probably a job for your roommates in the future okay well we must lock himself in a hotel room
05:59to finish the next so you can't and um
06:01Gerby has gone shopping with Avalon so
06:03okay I think it's great that you're making lunch not going out of salt but don't you think you're
06:07going a little bit overboard with the salad I mean honestly your dad's never going to be able to eat all
06:10well I mean you know worst case scenario I can just send the leftovers next door
06:14John might say enough okay okay well look your dad's due here any minute now so I'd better get out of here
06:18oh no don't you don't even think about it
06:19so you said that if I needed you you would be here and I need you so
06:25he's here
06:26it's okay
06:28put down my life

06:41nor did I come on in
06:48hello sweetheart
06:50don't call me
06:58i'm not gonna lie
06:59i'm a bit paranoid about meeting your dad especially after what happened with your mum
07:04oh don't be dad's really chill
07:07i still like a list of things i cannot say though
07:10well you already told everyone everything so you can just relax
07:14are you sure you want to come i know you've got a lot on your plate launch tomorrow night
07:18my team is all over it plus there is no way that i'm missing this
07:21yeah
07:22yeah i've been dying to meet your dad for ages it's just such a shame that i was away the last
07:25time he was here
07:26he's disappointed he didn't get to meet you either i just wish it was under more controlled
07:30circumstances
07:30well how eden handles today is anyone's guess
07:35it's a great place you're going
07:36i actually i live across the street
07:38ah is that how you two met as neighbors
07:40ah no actually
07:42eden and i've known each other for a couple of years but
07:44she didn't give me a shot until she moved to the bay
07:46that's not entirely accurate but okay
07:47okay well it's obviously all worked out
07:50congratulations on the engagement by the way
07:51thank you
07:52i was thrilled to hear you making that commitment

09:02yep i've sworn you were just hiding from your dad
09:04uh huh gave me that idea yeah it'd be crazy right yeah i mean clearly i'm handling it super well
09:10well actually inviting half the town to run interference was a pretty genius move
09:14yeah thanks i got that idea from you last night when you said i didn't have to do this alone
09:21i am glad that i could help
09:23when he started talking about commitment i mean the guy doesn't even know the meaning of the word
09:29um if you are really serious about giving us a chance then you can't just fault every single
09:34word that comes out of your mouth yeah well it's a bit hard when everything he says is stupid well
09:38you're never gonna know if you can be in the same room as him if you spend the whole time hiding
09:41in here
09:48give me a minute of course
09:50here we go enjoy
10:02oh yeah well it would be if you stop asking me every time i flip and walk past
10:10morning all morning john usual everything okay here well she's acting like everything's normal
10:18but she's pretty stressed do you really think she bailed because she was worried about being around
10:22the alcohol i honestly don't know well it doesn't add up does it first she said she didn't remember
10:27then she said she didn't want to be there am i the only one that thinks that's weird can we just
10:32drop it but we don't want to make her feel any worse than she already does anyhow i better get
10:37moving it's curvy's launch tomorrow and they've booked out salt as well as the surf club and i've
10:41got to go and set the garage ready to run the surf life saving well you might need to get yourself

11:52asking me to work tomorrow i i don't know what's going on with me
11:56oh so what you got a brain like a sieve at the moment you know it happens i'm always forgetting
12:01with my keys though with my bonies look being forgetful is just one of the joys of growing old
12:08i don't know i i think it's more than that what do you mean
12:16the other night i found myself standing in the middle of the garden in my nightie
12:22doing what i don't know
12:33it's nice you're being made maid of honor but i just hope that even put someone else in charge of
12:36makeup insulting much it reminds me when she was six right she stole the lipstick from the
12:43undertaker from our funeral parlor wait the one that they put on the corpses she worked proudly
12:46for weeks i've never had to tell her oh i mean that's so gross wait wait is that true but well
12:54i guess i've always wanted to know what it's like to have an embarrassing dad and now i know
12:57all right people hope you're hungry lunch is almost ready who wants to come give me a hand
