00:00Neighbours
00:03Everybody needs good neighbours
00:07With a little understanding
00:11You can find the perfect plan
00:17Neighbours
00:20Should be there for one another
00:24That's when good neighbours become friends
00:38My wife owns the coffee shop at Lasseter's
00:41Mum's running it for her while she's away
00:44Only the chef has walked out
00:46Where I'm going to find a replacement in a hurry, I don't know
00:50How about me?
00:52Well, I've just finished a catering course
00:54And I've been working in restaurants for years
00:56I told you I was looking for a job
00:58It's an amazing coincidence
01:00Isn't it?
01:06Now, avocado and bacon on whole meal
01:08Who ever heard of avocado sandwiches?
01:10Two spaghetti bolognese, side salad and no vegetables, Mrs Clark
01:12Not now, later, Michael, later
01:14There's people waiting
01:15Yes, I'm aware of that, but I've got to get the sandwiches finished
01:17And we're going to put the avocados
01:18Well, could I at least have the salads?
01:20Oh, all right, just a minute
01:24Now go away and leave me a piece
01:25Thank you
01:28Grandma
01:29Oh, Desmond, thank goodness you're here
01:30Here, cut these up
01:31I've got to get these sandwiches ready
01:32Mum, this is Sally Wells
01:34Sally, my mother, Mrs Clark
01:36Nice to meet you
01:37Yes, you too
01:38Oh, Desmond, I'm never going to get these sandwiches ready
01:40Mum, Sally's here to help
01:42She's a caterer, I'll try it
01:44Bee
01:45Well, Ben, in that place I'm very pleased to meet you
01:48Now you take these, you have this
01:49The orders are on the ledge
01:50You take care of the hot food
01:51I'll take care of the sandwiches
01:52Well, I think I can manage that
01:54How long for the spaghetti?
01:55Uh, two minutes, okay?
01:57Well, I don't think the customers will starve before that
01:59Done
02:00You can relax now
02:01Sally has got everything under control
02:03Right?
02:04Right
02:05Right
02:06Right
02:07Well, I've still got a few people to see
02:09So I'll be in touch
02:10Goodo, wouldn't mind a bit of work
02:11It'd get the missus off me back
02:12Well, I've got your number
02:13Well, you can catch me at the pub
02:15Thank you
02:16Oh, sorry
02:18Been doing a bit of work on me own heap
02:20It's got this funny grating noise in the transmission
02:23Can't work it out
02:29Oh, thanks
02:31You can scratch that one off the list
02:33Well, he obviously spends more time in the pub than he does under cars
02:37Too much like Dad, you mean?
02:39No, I don't
02:40No, I don't
02:41I simply mean a mechanic that doesn't know how to fix his own car is not what we need
02:44Well, I see your point
02:45Mind if I have a look?
02:46Yeah, sure
02:54Hmm, hmm, hmm
02:55Six jobs in two years and all of them under supervision
02:59He's never had any major responsibility
03:01And by the look of him, I don't think he could handle it if he did
03:04Sounds like an accurate assessment to me
03:07Hmm
03:08What you need is somebody who's worked in small shops
03:10Who's done everything from a grease and oil change to precision fine-tuning
03:14Anyone less qualified wouldn't be able to teach Charlene
03:16You do know what you're talking about, don't you?
03:18Yeah, we learn a lot growing up around the racetrack
03:20I know a good mechanic when I see one
03:22Yeah?
03:24Yeah
03:25Yeah
03:26Well, probably a lot better than I do
03:28Do you want to interview the next contender?
03:30Well, I would if there was one, but you've seen a lot
03:33Ah, wonderful
03:35The rate we're going, Charlene's going to be ready to retire before she's finished her apprenticeship
03:40Hmm
03:42We should get sparklers for Charlene's birthday card
03:45They're much nicer than candles
03:46Um, Jane, she's turning 18, not 8
03:49Well, everyone loves a surprise birthday card, especially Charlene
03:53Okay, guys, sorry about the delay
03:55There's chaos in the kitchen
03:56Tell us something we don't know, Mike
03:58Well, we've got a new chef
03:59Don't know how long she'll last though
04:00With Mrs Clark in there
04:02Now, we'll have to make sure that Charlene doesn't get wind of what we've planned
04:05That is not going to be easy, I tell you
04:07You're keeping a secret when Charlene is the world, you know
04:10She's...
04:11G'day
04:12How's it going?
04:13Good day at the workshop
04:14I thought you'd be in the library
04:16Yeah, we were going to go to the library
04:18Oh, but Scott had a problem with maths
04:19Yeah, it's a trigonometry problem
04:20Yeah
04:21I said I'd help out
04:22And this is sort of the only time that you could really come and help me
04:24Well, we thought we'd do it over lunch
04:25Yeah
04:26Nice bit
04:27How's the spaghetti?
04:28It's good, really good
04:29Do you want some?
04:30Oh, no, no
04:31I'll stick to my sandwiches
04:32And the budget
04:33Mike, can I have a strawberry milkshake, please?
04:35Yeah, sure
04:37So, how's the trig stuff going?
04:39Now, don't forget this
04:40Third floor, number 16
04:42Yeah, yeah, just down the road from the bank
04:44I won't get lost
04:45See you later, guys
04:46See you later
04:47Hungry, Mike
04:53How did you get those?
04:54I made them myself
04:56Well, you can't eat them here
04:57This is a business, not a drop-in centre
04:59Well, you'd better get on with it then
05:01Hey, that bloke at the counter looks pretty hungry
05:03Now, look here, my girl
05:04I'm in charge here
05:05And if I say you go, you'll go
05:06It's okay, Mrs. Clark
05:07She's ordered
05:08One strawberry milkshake
05:09Thanks, Mike
05:10Pop it on my, can't we?
05:11You will do no such thing, Michael
05:13She's only joking, Mrs. Clark
05:14Now, don't you think a chef is enough to lose for one day?
05:16We don't want to start on the customers now, do we?
05:18Shop
05:19Don't forget the minimum order
05:20No, I won't
05:21Don't you think Sally could use a hand in the kitchen?
05:22Sally
05:23Yes, yes
05:26What are you doing?
05:28Well, it is beef burgundy
05:30And the sauce was getting too thick
05:32Yes
05:33Yes, of course, I wouldn't dream of interfering
05:35I'm sure I could learn quite a lot from you, Mrs. Clark
05:38You know, we couldn't get along famously
05:42I hope so
05:43I really do
05:46Oh, Jane
05:47Where's the depreciation file here?
05:48Oh, it's with the budget material
05:50Here, I'll find it
05:51No, you get that, I'll get this
05:54Good afternoon, Daniels Corporation
05:56Yes, just a moment, please
05:58Is the girl back for lunch?
05:59Yeah
06:00I'm putting you through
06:02Mary Matheson has the sexiest words
06:04Jane
06:05You're not paid to comment on the calls
06:07How are the interviews going?
06:14Found a new mechanic yet?
06:16No, not yet
06:17Well, good mechanics are a bit scarce at the moment
06:19Have you tried CES?
06:20We've got to get someone soon
06:22We're going to lose all our regular customers
06:23I am aware of that, Charlene
06:25Now I'm trying
06:26You're just going to have to be patient with me
06:27I haven't got other things to keep me busy with, you know
06:30But if you hear of anything...
06:32I'll let you know
06:33Hmm?
06:34Promise
06:35I'll, um, walk you back to the workshop, okay?
06:37Doesn't seem much point in going back there
06:39I can't do anything on my own
06:41Don't worry, Charlene
06:42Paul will find someone
06:43You and the, um, kids that we're inviting from school, okay?
06:49I don't want to push my luck
06:50He's not in a very good mood
06:51Don't worry, I'll fix Paul, okay?
06:52He's gone
06:53Yeah, I'm coming
06:54Okay?
07:05You just don't know when to quit, do you?
07:10Yeah, I know, I know, persistence counts
07:13But I meant what I said last time
07:18Okay, I'll go riding with you
07:22Uh, no, I'd better meet you there this time
07:26Look, I've got to go
07:28I'll see you on Sunday, okay?
07:30Yeah
07:31Right, bye
07:34I trust you're going to keep your little romance with Biggles Matheson
07:37out of Ramsey Street this time?
07:39We're going horse riding Paul, there's no romance
07:41Yeah, whatever, just making sure it's discreet
07:43If you're so worried, why don't you come along with Chaperone?
07:48Yeah, yeah, I might just do that
07:50I'm sure Glen wouldn't mind giving you a few lessons
07:52He's quite good at teaching manners to horses or to husbands
07:55It was a good idea, hey?
07:56Giving Jane's two to you?
07:57Yeah, one of your better ones
07:58She's helped me out
07:59But you've got it all under control now, right?
08:00I mean Jane's pretty busy with work
08:01No, she doesn't mind
08:02I mean the exams are getting pretty close
08:03I couldn't get through maths without her help
08:04She's not the only girl with brains, you know
08:05Maybe I could help you
08:06I got through HSC too
08:07Yeah, no offence, but Jane just didn't scrape through
08:08She didn't do anything
08:09It was a good idea, hey?
08:11Giving Jane's two to you
08:13Yeah, one of your better ones
08:14She's helped me out
08:15But you've got it all under control now, right?
08:17I mean Jane's pretty busy with work
08:19No, she doesn't mind
08:21I mean the exams are getting pretty close
08:23I couldn't get through maths without her help
08:25She's not the only girl with brains, you know
08:28Maybe I could help you
08:29I got through HSC too
08:31Yeah, no offence, but Jane just didn't scrape through
08:35She talked her ear
08:36I think I'd better stick with her
08:38Hey, are you about to open up, mate?
08:40My car's clagged out around the corner
08:41I could do with a hand
08:42Well, you'd better talk to me then
08:44I'm in charge here
08:45What's the problem?
08:46Well, the way it's running
08:47Could be a blocked fuel line
08:48Or maybe the points
08:49Doesn't sound too drastic
08:51Bring it in, I'll have a look
08:52Yeah, that's the problem
08:53I can't get it started again
08:54Oh, Scott, can you give him a hand to push the car in?
08:57I'll just open it up and get my tools
08:59Is she always that bossy?
09:02No, when it comes to cars, she is
09:03But she knows what she's talking about
09:09If this is any example of her work, I think I might give it a miss
09:12Hang on a sec
09:13I mean, she's only had this car for a couple of weeks
09:15I mean, it's a bit of work, but she can handle it
09:18I'm only joking, mate
09:19I didn't mean to put your girlfriend down
09:21My wife
09:23I'm Scott
09:24She's Charlene
09:25Greg
09:26Greg Cooper
09:27Yeah, I've done a few of these up in the time
09:29Not the easiest to cast the wheels on
09:31Yeah?
09:32You know a bit about cars, do you?
09:33Well, I should
09:34I am a mechanic
09:35Well, then why didn't you tow your car back to your own workshop?
09:37I haven't got one
09:38Been travelling around lately, you know
09:40Pick up a bit of work here and there
09:41Oh, come on, where's the car?
09:42Want me to take a look at it or not?
09:44Yeah
09:48Charlene, give Paul a ring and tell him to get down here now
09:51What are you on about?
09:52That guy's a mechanic and he's out of work
09:54He could be exactly who we're looking for
09:56You reckon?
09:57Yeah, just give him a ring, will you?
09:58Hey mate, wait a sec, I'll give you a hand
10:00Well, it was really nice of you to ask me over here
10:04Hmm?
10:05But how come you're not at work?
10:07Lucy
10:08Lucy
10:09I mean, even a business tycoon can take off a few hours to spend with your sister
10:13Hmm?
10:14Uh-huh
10:17Well, go on, eat up
10:18No
10:19I've got to watch what I eat now that I'm not getting much exercise
10:22Yeah, yeah, it must be the pits there
10:25I mean, being cooped up like that all day
10:27I can think of other things I'd rather be doing
10:30Hmm
10:33Ha!
10:34I've got some free time this afternoon
10:36Well, why don't I take you out to your riding school?
10:38Oh, that'd be great
10:40But I can't go riding yet
10:42Beverly would kill me
10:44Oh
10:45Well, we could just go out for a look
10:46I bet you're missing that horse you are
10:48What's his name, um
10:49Jacob
10:50Jacob, Jacob
10:51Oh, he's probably forgotten all about me
10:53Well, come on, have another biscuit
10:54I'll go and get out of my tycoon gear
10:56What do you reckon?
10:57Paul
10:58Hey?
10:59You've been my brother long enough for me to work out you're up to something
11:03What is it?
11:04Lucy, there's an old saying
11:07Never look a gift horse in the mouth
11:09Oh
11:10Doesn't take long to get into a steak, does it?
11:13Clean as you go, I always say
11:15Here we go
11:16And here comes the worst part
11:18Well, this is only the start
11:19I've been too busy serving, clear up
11:21You know, sometimes I wish Daphne had gone into the takeaway food business
11:25I'll do that, you take a break
11:27Well, thank you dear
11:29That's very kind of you
11:30You know, I don't know how I would have managed without you today
11:32I'm glad I could help
11:34You should try and get away early
11:36Have a lie down before you cook dinner for Mr Clark
11:38Oh, well, I'm sure Harold and Desmond won't mind if it's just soup and sandwiches
11:42Harold, is that your husband?
11:44No
11:46Malcolm was my husband
11:48Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realise you were a widow
11:51In spirit only
11:53Now, Malcolm and I were divorced many years ago
11:56I'm all alone in the world now, except for Desmond, of course
11:59You never hear from your husband?
12:02Not a word
12:03Well, that's pretty rough
12:04Oh, well, we all have our crosses to bear
12:07My dad did the same thing
12:08Shot through one day
12:09Mum's never heard from him since
12:11Poor woman
12:12I do sympathise with her
12:13And you, you must have missed him dreadfully at first
12:16I wish I could remember him
12:18I was just a kid when he left
12:20Well, never you mind
12:22If he wasn't man enough to shoulder his responsibilities, you're much better off without him
12:27I know Desmond feels exactly the same way
12:32When I finished these, I was wondering if you'd help me with tomorrow's menu
12:36Hmm?
12:37Well, I can't think of a better way to impress your son than to cook just like his mum
12:41You know something? You're a very clever girl
12:46There's the problem
12:47You see that little bump there?
12:48The points should be sitting right down on that, not up the way they are
12:51It wears them out and mucks up the timing
12:53Could you guess a new set of points?
12:54Yeah, sure
12:55As long as you're showing me how to reset the timing
12:57Yeah, sounds fair to me
13:00Hey, if you were such a hotshot mechanic, why would they put on properly in the first place?
13:04Uh, I let the apprentice on my last job do them
13:07Right
13:08Hi
13:14Hi
13:15Hey, g'day
13:16Where's Paul?
13:17He went out before Charlene phoned
13:18I told her I'd pass on the message when he got back
13:20But she seemed so excited
13:21I thought I'd better come down and check out this mechanic himself
13:23Yeah, I can't understand half of what they're saying
13:25But Charlene is rapt and he is looking for work too
13:27Great, well you better introduce me then
13:29Great
13:30When you put in points, always make sure you grease the shaft
13:34Greg
13:35Hi
13:36Greg, this is my sister-in-law, Gal Robinson
13:37Hi
13:40Greg Cooper
13:41Nice to meet you
13:42Nice to meet you
13:43I understand you're in the market for jobs
13:45Uh, you're the boss
13:47Well, not exactly, but if you're after a job, I'm the person to talk to you
13:50Well, with such pleasant work, mates, who wouldn't be interested?
13:52Well, maybe you'd better come up to my office and we'll discuss it, it's just up the road
13:56Fine
13:57You've got your trade certificates, references?
13:58Yeah, in the car
13:59Great
14:01What do you reckon? He's a terrific mechanic
14:03Oh, I want to check out his paperwork first
14:05Oh, he'd be a great teacher
14:06Look, I've learnt more about distributors than Mr Lewis told me
14:09What, I mean
14:11Alright Charlene, I know what you mean
14:13And if he's prepared to spend some time teaching you, all the better
14:17Here we are
14:19Uh, I think we'd better take your car
14:21I'll put these points on while you're gone
14:23Okay, I'll check them when I get back
14:24Okay
14:25See you later
14:26See you later, good luck
14:27Bye
14:28Bye
14:30Oh, if he'll get the job, I know he will
14:32You're a genius, Scott
14:34If it wasn't for you, I'd have let him right off into the sunset
14:37Oh, well, I may be rotten at maths, but I can still think on my feet
14:41Anyway, I'd better get back to school, okay?
14:43I'll give you a ring light to see how Greg's going
14:44Mm-hmm
14:45Keep your fingers crossed
14:46Keep them crossed, no worries
14:48See ya
14:49The timing's perfect, I reckon
14:52This will be the best breakdown ever
14:58Well, your trade certificates are excellent
15:00But it concerns me that you've changed jobs so often
15:02Well, I like to travel
15:04And no one's ever complained about my ability
15:06Yeah, well, I can see that
15:08And we do want a good all-rounder
15:09How do you feel about the job?
15:11Oh, from what you've told me, it sounds like my sort of thing
15:13And the money's fine, so if you're offering, I'll accept
15:16There is a condition you'd be required to train an apprentice
15:19Oh, you mean Charlene?
15:20I can't see a problem there, she's keen enough
15:23Mm, that's an understatement
15:24You've nothing against girls in business?
15:26Oh, no, no, if someone's got a skill and they're willing to learn, that deserve a go
15:30Oh, good
15:31You realise you'll be hired on a trial basis?
15:34Oh, yeah, that's fair enough
15:35We'll see it at one month
15:36Mm-hmm
15:37I'm pretty sure my work will speak for itself
15:39So, when would you like me to start?
15:41Well, if Charlene had a way, it'd be yesterday, but I think tomorrow at night
15:46That suits me
15:47Great
15:48Well, thanks, Mrs. Robertson
15:49Oh, please call me Gail
15:51Thanks, Gail
15:52I'll give you a bit back to the workshop
15:54Oh, no, that's fine, I'll walk back, very slowly
15:56Give Charlene time to finish what she's doing
15:58I don't want to get my new apprentice flustered, do I?
16:00Bye, Greg
16:01Bye
16:02See you
16:03Well, that should make Charlene's day, what do you think of him?
16:07Oh, I'd say with a mechanic like that, half the girls in Aaronsborough will develop serious problems with their cars
16:12Hmm
16:13Well, that's one way to build up the business
16:21Poor old Jacob
16:23Have you missed me?
16:25Oh, you have, haven't you?
16:27Look at him, Paul
16:29Doesn't he look sad to you?
16:31Hard to tell, I don't know much about horses
16:33They're really smart
16:34I hope he's been getting enough exercise
16:36Well, there's other kids around that ride him, isn't there?
16:39Yeah, but everyone has their favourite horse
16:41Well, the kids won't take Jacob out because he's got a mind of his own
16:45He looks pretty quiet to me
16:47He's a good old boy
16:49You just have to know how to handle him
16:51Listen, if you're really worried about him not getting enough exercise, why don't I have a go?
16:57I mean, you can't ride
16:59You're never too old to learn, eh? Anyway, you can teach me
17:02Well, go on, you don't want Jacob getting fat and lazy, do you? Or me, for that matter
17:09You've got to know what you're doing
17:11Well, it can't be that hard, after all, you manage
17:14But I've been taking lessons for ages
17:17Oh, come on, Liz, give us a crash course, eh?
17:19You'll do exactly what I tell you
17:21To the letter
17:22Alright, but you've got to learn right
17:24No fooling around, okay?
17:26Word of honour, promise
17:28Okay, go and find a hard hat
17:31You should never get on a horse without one
17:33Alright
17:34Then I'll show you how to saddle him up
17:36It's got to be done properly
17:38No, you're the teacher
17:39Just make sure you remember that
17:45Kitchen's clean
17:47Thank you, dear
17:48I've made you a nice chicken
17:49And that's your sandwich
17:50You take it, sit over there with Michael
17:51And have a little rest yourself
17:54Is it okay if I sit here?
17:55Yeah, sure
17:57So you survived your first day alright, did you?
17:59Oh, so far so good
18:00Is it always that busy at lunchtime?
18:01Yeah, usually
18:03Aren't you staying in the hotel?
18:04Yeah, I'm on holiday from Newcastle
18:06Funny way to spend a holiday, working here
18:09Oh, I don't mind
18:10Change is all I was really after
18:11Science money comes in handy
18:13Yeah, tell me about it
18:15Do you work here full-time?
18:16No, I'm at uni
18:17What do you do in Newcastle?
18:19I've just finished a phys-ed course
18:20I'd like to be an aerobics instructor
18:22I see
18:23Thought you said you'd do a catering course
18:25Well, I did
18:26Catering during the day
18:28And phys-ed at night
18:29Ah, that's an unusual combination
18:30Sort of pig-out and work-out really, isn't it?
18:33Something like that
18:35It's all part of an overall approach to health
18:37Maybe someday I'll set up my own fitness centre
18:39That's what I like to hear
18:40A young person with a goal in life
18:42Were both your classes at Tech?
18:44Yeah
18:45Um, but I put more time into the catering
18:47Oh, they must have taught you about nutrition and vitamins
18:50You know, I'm very interested in that
18:51You must have a little chat
18:52Oh, hello Desmond
18:53Hi, Des
18:54Well, it looks as though you've got this place under control
18:56No more dramas?
18:57We managed magnificently
18:59Mum hasn't worked you to death, has she?
19:01Not at all, I've enjoyed every minute of it
19:03I don't know how we would have managed without her though
19:05Very clever Desmond to find this young lady
19:07Well, I can't take the credit for her this time
19:09Sally found me
19:11Okay, let's get on one here, you hold that for me
19:24Ha ha, not so fast
19:26What did I tell you about checking the girth?
19:28Um, oh yeah, uh, three fingers between the stomach and the girth
19:33That's fine
19:34Can I get on that?
19:35Are the stirrups the right length?
19:36I don't know, they look alright
19:40Look, let me show you
19:42It should be the length of your arm
19:44Alright
19:46Alright, get on
19:47Left foot in the stirrup
19:48Yeah
19:49Hand on the pommel
19:50One, two, three
19:51Go on!
19:52That was as easy as I thought
19:56You have to sort of jump
19:57One, two, three
19:58Oh, that's right, three
19:59Main
20:01Dettle
20:02One, two, three
20:03Come on
20:04How's that?
20:06Not bad for a beginner.
20:08Hold the reins the way I showed you.
20:10Yeah.
20:11Okay, giddy up.
20:13How do I put him in to drive?
20:17Give him a nudge with your heel.
20:19You better just walk for a while.
20:20Okay.
20:22Giddy up.
20:23Come on.
20:24Giddy up.
20:26Come on.
20:28His battery's not connected.
20:30I told you he had a mind of his own.
20:32Give him a good kick.
20:34Oh, come on.
20:34I don't want to hurt him.
20:36You won't.
20:37As long as he knows you're the boss.
20:39Yeah?
20:39Okay.
20:43Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
20:45Whoa.
20:46Whoa, okay.
20:47Whoa.
20:47Whoa.
20:48Whoa.
20:58Everybody needs good neighbours.
21:01Neighbors.
21:02Just a friendly wave each morning helps to make a better day.
21:13Neighbors need to get to know each other.
21:19Next door is only a footstep away.
21:25Neighbors.
21:26Neighbors.
21:27Neighbors.
21:28Neighbors.
21:29Neighbors.
21:30Everybody needs good neighbours.
21:34With a little understanding.
21:38You can find the perfect plan.
21:46Neighbors.
21:47Should be there for one another.
21:51That's when good neighbours become true friends.
