00:02Don't throw away your job because of what Darcy did.
00:05What Darcy did has changed me.
00:07Remy will be over the line soon,
00:09particularly when she meets my secret weapon.
00:12The tram will serve its 82nd thousandth customer.
00:15We should have, like, a big promotion to celebrate.
00:18I should have walked away when Tay said no.
00:20Sadie's been given an official warning.
00:22I'm team Rhett.
00:23I am team Colton.
00:25And what about Rhett?
00:26I think we have a real connection.
00:27How do I even know if I'm ready for that?
00:30Neighbours
00:33Everybody needs good neighbours
00:37With a little understanding
00:42You can find the perfect plan
00:48Neighbours
00:51Should be there for one another
00:55That's when good neighbours
00:59I need to make a good sense
01:06Hey!
01:07Come in!
01:14I just wanted to apologise for earlier.
01:16You're probably wondering why I ran off.
01:18Oh, yeah.
01:19I might have been ruminating on it for the last few hours, maybe.
01:22Yeah, see, that's why.
01:27Because I like you, Aaron.
01:28So much.
01:29Too much that I can't keep doing this are we or aren't we thing.
01:32Yeah, I can't do that.
01:33I mean, I've got a child to worry about.
01:34I can't get too attached to you and bring you into her life.
01:37Not if you don't want this.
01:38Not really.
01:39Rhett, I never meant to string you alone.
01:40Then stop!
01:42I mean, either this is something real
01:45Or it's nothing.
01:46But I need to know.
01:47Now.
01:48Or I'm out.
01:55Considering you're not in a hurry to say anything, I'm guessing your answer is...
01:58No.
01:59No, no, no.
02:00My answer's not no.
02:01It's...
02:03Rhett, we make sense together.
02:04Yeah.
02:05I mean, we're both dads.
02:07We value family.
02:08We're in the same stage of life.
02:10I mean, we have a real connection.
02:12You and me.
02:14So this is it.
02:16Okay?
02:18You want to have a committed, serious relationship and you are choosing to do that with me.
02:25I am.
02:28Hey, if you haven't got anywhere else to be right now, would you like to stay the night?
02:34Oh.
02:35Hmm.
02:37Okay.
02:38Since you're not in a hurry to say anything, I'm going to guess that your answer's...
02:52That post I put on the community page has had 12 likes and two shares.
02:56Word is definitely spreading.
02:58Goodo.
02:59Oh, and here's a golden opportunity to drum up business.
03:01Tay.
03:02Tay.
03:03You working at the piano bar tonight?
03:04Uh, yeah, sure.
03:05Could you sprint my 82,000 at the 82 event?
03:09Oh, it's a promotion.
03:10I'm running down at the tram.
03:11Tomorrow we're expecting our 82nd thousandth customer and that lucky person gets a free pie every week for 82 weeks.
03:18Yeah, could you tell people to come down?
03:21But you don't have to if you don't want to.
03:23No, I can tell people.
03:25In fact, one of my regulars is a reporter at the West Waratah Star.
03:29If you want some news coverage, I can see if she's keen.
03:31Oh, my goodness.
03:32It's like free advertising for my business.
03:34Of course, I'm interested.
03:35No problem, Lala.
03:36Send her a message now.
03:37Thank you, Tay.
03:40Wow.
03:41Tomorrow's going to be a roaring success.
03:43I can feel it.
03:45Oh, there we go.
03:46One more like.
03:50Dinner at Meat Maiden, some comedy club action, and now best hot jockeys in Melbourne.
03:54Couldn't have planned a more perfect night.
03:56Well, it's nothing you don't deserve.
03:59I mean it.
04:01The way you fought for justice for Tay.
04:04Oh, you are going to make a brilliant cop.
04:08Not only that, you're also sexy as hell.
04:11Well, right back at you.
04:13Oh.
04:14Varga Murphy, just the person I wanted to see.
04:17I've developed a rather strange growth on my left elbow, which I'm fairly certain is some sort of wart.
04:23But I'd like your professional opinion.
04:26Oh, I'm not actually on duty at the hospital tonight.
04:30So, considering that is not life threatening, I suggest you just book an appointment with your local GP.
04:35Oh, come now.
04:36There's no need to play coy.
04:38I know it's hush hush, but I've heard directly from Carl Kennedy's lips that you are going to be his replacement.
04:46He enlisted me to give you an inside scoop on life at a Rennie Rising.
04:51Oh, is it all wart related?
04:52Oh, heavens no.
04:54I just thought I'd take the opportunity.
04:57Whenever you want to sit down and hear about the ins and outs, you know where to find me.
05:03Okay, for starters, I have no intention of leaving the hospital.
05:13So, why is Carl telling Moira that you're going to replace him?
05:16It's a long story, which I will explain.
05:18But if Carl is already blabbing...
05:25He needs to be stopped immediately.
05:29Hi.
05:30You told Moira I was going to be your replacement.
05:33What?
05:34Why on earth would you do that?
05:35Unless it's made official, that is highly unprofessional.
05:38Perhaps it was a little presumptuous.
05:40I was just helping you get to know one of our key residents.
05:43When you're in the job, having Moira on site is a huge asset.
05:45You know what, Carl?
05:46It won't be.
05:47Because I'm not going to apply.
05:48You're what?
05:50Oh no, Remy.
05:51Remy, please.
05:53Not until you give me a thorough tour of the premises like you promised.
05:58Yes, I should have organised that.
05:59I'm sorry.
06:00I've just been distracted by events at the tram.
06:03Look, it's fine.
06:04It's fine.
06:05Just promise me you won't mention my name to any other residents.
06:08Yes, you have my word.
06:09This will be the report of the West Waratah Star.
06:11I really should take it, yeah?
06:13Hello, it's Carl Kennedy speaking, owner of the 82.
06:17Thank you so much for doing that.
06:18I had no idea he told anyone.
06:20Susan.
06:21This is getting out of hand.
06:22I know.
06:23I know.
06:24I can see that.
06:25And I am very sorry.
06:26Remy.
06:27Please, do you think you could just hang in there for a little bit longer?
06:52Coffee?
06:53I need something to wake me up.
06:54Didn't exactly get my sleep last night.
06:56Yeah, but for all the right reasons.
06:58Whoa.
06:59Is this what you always do for brekkie?
07:00I feel like I'm in a five-star hotel.
07:07Dear Aaron and Rhett, congratulations on finally getting together.
07:10Here's a feast to help you refuel.
07:12Lots of love.
07:13Because there was a lot of that going on last night.
07:16Nicolette.
07:17Does that mean she hurt us?
07:18Her room is next door.
07:19Oh.
07:20Wow.
07:21That is incredibly embarrassing.
07:23Of all the emotions I'm feeling right now, embarrassment is definitely not one of them.
07:27I'm actually really annoyed at Susan.
07:28I mean, if Karl wants to stop practicing, isn't that his choice?
07:40Yeah, she's concerned he's quitting for all the wrong reasons and doesn't want him regretting his decision.
07:44You know what?
07:45I agree with her.
07:47Yeah, but what's she thinking?
07:50Asking you to go along with her?
07:52That's a pretty big ask.
07:53Oh, she assures me it's not for much longer.
07:56Although I'd rather not be involved at all.
07:58At least there's an end point.
08:01Only me.
08:02Oh, come on through.
08:03Hey.
08:04Hi.
08:07Congratulations.
08:09What have I done?
08:11In the battle to be my boyfriend, Team Rhett, therefore you have won.
08:15Ah, well, I knew you'd make the right decision.
08:18When did this happen?
08:20Last night.
08:22I faced my fears and I listened to my heart.
08:25Well, although I've always been Team Colton and I hate losing a bed of any kind.
08:29You seem happy and that makes me happy.
08:31Thank you, Remy.
08:32I am.
08:33I am.
08:34I feel pretty good about it.
08:36Although now I have to go and tell Colton.
08:39Oh, he doesn't know yet?
08:40No.
08:41I'm going to meet him to break the news.
08:43Oh, poor boy.
08:45Yeah, you're going to break his heart.
08:52Hey, you're up early.
08:54Yeah, well, if I want to get a coffee without Nicolette being here to spit in it, this is the only time I can come.
08:58I heard about that.
09:00I heard you made it look like a little boiled tomato.
09:03Okay, that was an accident, alright?
09:05I just, I don't know what happened.
09:07If you want to get your mind off everything, you should come with me to Carl's Promotion at the Tram.
09:11The pie thing?
09:13Yeah.
09:14Asked me last night to talk it up at the piano bar.
09:16You know, the more I did it, the more I realised, a free pie for 82 weeks?
09:20That's a pretty sweet prize.
09:23So I decided I'm going to win.
09:25Isn't it like random luck of the right number customer?
09:29No random luck for me.
09:31I asked Holly to get me Carl's customer number at close of business yesterday.
09:34And she did that for you?
09:36I'm sure I owe her favour at some point, but yeah, she did.
09:39And just now I went and bought this little guy.
09:42It's one of those little clickers they use to count everyone at the nightclub.
09:44So, all I need to do now, arrive to the tram before it opens, count every single person as they come right before 82,000, swoop in and boom, that sweet prize is mine.
10:01So are you in or are you in?
10:03Yeah, it's a hard pass.
10:06Come on.
10:08I'll even let you be in charge of the little clicker.
10:10You can pretend like you're a little nightclub hostess, you know, vetting the VIP line.
10:15Your style, your makeup skills, they're so on point for something like this.
10:20Flattery is not going to get you anywhere.
10:22And bonus, when I win, you can see my victory dance.
10:27A little something like this.
10:30And a free pie for Tay.
10:32And Sadie.
10:33Please stop.
10:34Not until you say you're in.
10:36Free pie for Tay.
10:38Fine, I'm in, I'm in.
10:41Don't do that again.
10:44Oh, hi, hi, hi, hi.
10:47I won't hold you up.
10:48I've got to get to the tram post-haste, get my promotional show on the road.
10:53Look, I just, I want to apologise again for prematurely telling Moira about your inevitable appointment.
11:00And just to say, I have organised a full tour of Irene for you for this morning.
11:04Oh.
11:05Yeah, now obviously I can't guide you around, but I've organised for Irene's number one woman to show you around.
11:11Teresa's in Rome.
11:12Yeah, yeah, it's not Teresa.
11:15Morning!
11:17Your front door was open, so I let myself in.
11:20Although you really should keep that locked to prevent undesirables from entering your home.
11:26We really should.
11:27I'm sure Moira's told you she is the resident's representative and what she doesn't know about Irene isn't worth knowing.
11:34So don't fret, Dr Varga Murphy.
11:36I'll be giving you a long and exhaustive tour, allowing plenty of time at the end for a full examination of my elbow wart.
11:44It's virtually doubled in size overnight.
11:58Look at all these suckers.
12:01I don't know, like they think they have a chance at winning.
12:04Amateurs, a bunch of them.
12:05Oh, looks like all the posts on the community page have really paid off.
12:12Yeah.
12:13No sign of your news reporter, though.
12:15No, I told her we'd probably hit the target mid-morning, so she's coming in.
12:18Let's get this party started, eh?
12:22Good morning, everyone!
12:24I am beyond thrilled to see so many of you here, and I can't wait to learn who our 86nd THOUSAND customer is going to be!
12:38The one who will win a half-price pie every week for 82 weeks!
12:43Did you say a half-price pie instead of a free pie?
12:47We sure did.
12:49You can't!
12:50You can't change the prize value last minute!
12:52Change it back to a free pie or you're a little tight-ass!
12:56A half-price pie is a good offer!
12:59Tight-ass! Tight-ass! Tight-ass!
13:01Tight-ass! Tight-ass!
13:03What are you talking about?
13:05I didn't get to crunch the numbers until last night.
13:0882 pies is a lot of money!
13:10It's alright, it's alright.
13:11The prize is a free pie every week for 82 weeks, as promised.
13:15But you're right, here's a tight-ass!
13:17Oh, well done!
13:18Yeah!
13:19Yeah!
13:20And get ready to place your orders, because we are open for business!
13:24Get ready to click.
13:26Bring it!
13:28Oh!
13:37Hey!
13:39Hey!
13:40We're the son of us to get your message this morning.
13:42Can I shut your brekkie?
13:44Or will we just get coffee and skip to the zoo?
13:46Uh, I actually already had brekkie with Rhett.
13:50Um, Colton, there's no easy way to say this, so I'm just gonna get right to it.
13:55I've decided that I want to be in a relationship with Rhett.
14:00I'm so sorry.
14:02I messaged to meet you because I wanted to do you the courtesy of telling you face-to-face.
14:05Would you look at that?
14:06Here comes your next punter, ready to try out their luck.
14:07Mwah!
14:08Look at that face, full of hope and so much expectation.
14:10And here we go.
14:11Oh!
14:12Boom!
14:13Another one by stuff.
14:14Hey, hey, hey, hey!
14:15Are you two counting customers?
14:16What are you doing?
14:17What are you doing?
14:18What are you doing?
14:19What are you doing?
14:20What are you doing?
14:21What are you doing?
14:22What are you doing?
14:23What are you doing?
14:24What are you doing?
14:25What are you doing?
14:26Here we go.
14:27Oh.
14:28Boom!
14:29Another one by stuff.
14:30Yeah, hey, hey, hey, hey!
14:33Are you two counting customers?
14:35No, no, no, no, no, that's against the rules.
14:38What rules?
14:39I mean, I don't see any.
14:40Like, did you write them down?
14:42Did you press the T's and C's anywhere?
14:43No, no, no.
14:44Not exactly.
14:45When there's no rules, keep counting.
14:47No, no, it's cheating!
14:49Okay, okay, as the arbiter of this competition, I'm disqualifying both of them.
14:53What? Don't stop. What do you mean?
14:56After everything I've done for you, talking us up at the piano bar, teeing up the reporter.
15:02But you owe me one, Carl.
15:03No, no. I don't owe you.
15:08There you go. Pack up your chairs and get out of here.
15:13Did you not hear me? Be gone!
15:17Sorry, pal.
15:23I think we were so far ahead. How did we let the competition slip out of our hands?
15:31Well, we did get a bit too excited.
15:33Yeah, we should have been on a bit more stealth in front of Carl.
15:37Yeah, you can't really be stealth when you're shouting tired ass at the top of your lungs.
15:41But on the upside, Nicolette doesn't seem to be working, so at least we'll have a spit-free coffee.
15:46Yay!
15:48Cheer up.
15:49Getting that customer number intel was cheating in itself.
15:55Alright, getting disqualified is kind of fair.
15:57Yeah, yeah. I just wanted to win the prize.
16:02Why do I feel like this is more than just about winning the prize?
16:07I don't know. I just want something pointless to focus on after anything that happened.
16:13I get it.
16:18And whenever you need a distraction or a D&M, you know where to find me.
16:23I do owe you after today.
16:25No, you don't.
16:26No, seriously, I do.
16:27Because when you found me this morning, I was a sad sack.
16:30And I have had the most amount of fun today I ever won.
16:33Well, if you have any ideas for me, I'm here to listen to them.
16:36actually I do tada a free pie well free for you I actually still pay for it but
16:45it's just been it I'm gonna get a free pie from you for the next 82 weeks so
16:49absolutely not but I will give you some light entertainment while you leave
16:55remember that victory dance
16:58oh well fingers crossed good luck sorry excuse me for getting close to our 82nd
17:13thousands customers no sign of that reporting yet I was to hope Tay wasn't so
17:17miffed at being disqualified he rang or told him not to come oh I'm sure it would
17:20be that piece darling you weren't here when I disqualified if he was very petty
17:26we need to talk oh I've just spent hours on a guided tour of Irene with Moira Tohu
17:35which concluded in her practically forcing me to examine the weird ward on her
17:39elbow oh yes that's not the worst of it every resident we've met just started
17:44speculating as to why I was there what you've done consultation so I read you
17:48before I'm sure you found a way to host them down I tried but some of the
17:52residents like to gossip and you can't get back to my superiors the hospital no no
17:56it won't no it can't I care about Carl and I still think he has lots to offer as a
18:01doctor but I'm not doing this anymore I can't
18:05no but my role in the charade it is done
18:12thanks for the water not for dumping me oh come on this isn't exactly easy for me I care about you
18:23not enough to choose me over rep alright but then I made a promise that we would accept your decision either way
18:35I guess if I have to lose you at least it's to a really great guy
18:41well you're a really great guy too and hey my life is so much richer for having known you
18:48and I seriously mean that but I just I just like I just couldn't keep stringing you both along
18:53you don't have to explain this again well thank you for being so gracious
18:58I guess I should go I'm really gonna miss you
19:05I'm really gonna miss you
19:12I know I said that you could back out anytime you wanted to but please please just wait until after the promotion
19:27no no Susan I can't keep lying
19:34oh Carl is using this to avoid the reality of thinking about life after Irene but once he does he'll change his mind
19:40well then why don't you have that conversation with him instead of asking me to pretend to be interested in a job I don't want
19:45but if you don't pretend and delay the process then we'll have to hire someone else and then he won't be able to get his job back and he will regret that forever I know he will
19:55is that so I think I deserve an explanation
20:00oh Carl
20:02oh
20:04oh
20:05hey
20:16coming up on Neighbours
20:18I didn't know he was going to kiss me
20:20if I hadn't given you an ultimatum he's to be flitting between me and Colton
20:23you really care about him don't you
20:24yeah
20:25something always happens to get in the way
20:27what Darcy did has changed me
20:29I really do wish that I could be there with you
20:32don't worry about it
20:34you
20:35you
20:36you
