00:00Neighbors, everybody needs good neighbors. With a little understanding, you can find the perfect blend.
00:16Neighbors should be there for one another. That's when good neighbors become good friends.
00:38Oops. Right. Let's have a deco at the decos. Oh, a deco at the decos.
00:44Thank you. Oh, thanks very much. Yes.
00:48I reckon between us and Henry and Paul's laborers, of course, we've made this whole place look terrific.
00:53Oh, absolutely. Oh, when is the bride-to-be expected to arrive?
00:56The other bride-to-be, that is not.
00:59Oh, very good. She's running a bit late, but she'll be here in a moment.
01:03In surgery this afternoon. Oh, dear. Nothing serious, I hope.
01:09Those two seem to be having fun already. They've done a wonderful job got us there.
01:13Yes, the place does look terrific, and so do you, Madge, by the way.
01:16Oh, thanks. Paul wants us to go all out to impress the tourists.
01:19Yeah. He's even got me, you know, learning a bit of Japanese.
01:21Rather you than me.
01:22Oh, I don't mind. I don't quite like this whole patriotic thing at the moment.
01:26Yes, about time this country stood up to be counted. After all, we're 200 years old.
01:31Now, speak for yourself. You know what I mean.
01:34It's rather refreshing to see people celebrate their own customs.
01:37Oh, yes. I mean, Christmas is quite different over here, isn't it?
01:40Last Christmas day we spent most of the time in the pool.
01:42We won't be able to do that this year without Lenny and Scott's permission, anyway.
01:47Have you got a sprinkle we can borrow?
01:49Well, yes, I think so.
01:51Actually, I've often wondered why you wealthy Robinsons can't afford it.
01:54Henry!
01:55Oh, what?
01:56Did you tap that keg I asked you to?
01:58Yes.
01:59Right, well, here. You can hang the mistletoe. You never know your luck. Sally might turn up. Go on.
02:04Hope not. Trying to forget all about her today.
02:06Why?
02:07Well, for a number of reasons. First of all, I reckon chicks are a really...
02:12Henry!
02:13All right.
02:15Ah, the mistletoe. That's one northern hemisphere custom we won't lose in a hurry.
02:20Oh, why should we? Harold was telling me it grows wild on gum trees.
02:24Do you know, when he was a stock and station at... What now?
02:28Um, that's some sticky tape.
02:29Henry, there is a Japanese word for occasions like this. Yasuminasiya.
02:34Well, what's that in Australian?
02:36Rack off. Go on.
02:38Aw.
02:39Well, it was near enough, anyway.
02:41The decorations are all up.
02:47Yeah, well, the rest of the guests should be here soon.
02:49Do you reckon this will do the trick or what?
02:51I don't know. I don't understand why anyone hasn't bought any before. I would've.
02:56Yeah, I thought everyone around here would like pets.
02:58They've obviously all got cats and goldfish and silkworms and things like that.
03:02I know Des said you had to get rid of them, but you'll find good homes for them, won't you?
03:07Yeah.
03:08Well, not everyone's got a pedigree. Just ask these little fellas.
03:11Mike, me old mate.
03:13I've seen you out with some dogs before, but this is ridiculous.
03:17Don't laugh, Lucy. You'll only encourage the idiot.
03:20Oh, Scott! Mate! Step right up and pick yourself a pup right here.
03:26Listen, mate, I've got to get back to Ramsey Street. Do you reckon you could flog a few of these when you want?
03:29I can't. I'm sorry, Scott. I've got to try and flog these up.
03:31Oh, that's what I love. Good flogging.
03:33Hey, yeah, you do too. Oh, you could help us out, Henry. We need a fast talker.
03:36Hey, yeah, and you're pretty fast. I don't know about the quality, but the quantity's certainly there.
03:39Yeah, and all you have to do is take the orders. Michael, take the photographs later.
03:42No, no, no. I don't want any part of this, mate.
03:44Come on, mate. Be a sport. Go on, please. Just for me.
03:46All right, all right. There, there. Thanks a lot. See you later.
03:49Bye, Mr. Mangle. This is a lovely look.
03:53A little later, those two. Talk about form and material. I should have worn my sunglasses.
03:57Hello, ladies. Forget your party frocks, did you?
04:01I'll have you know that we're only stopping by on our way to play bowls, Henry Ramsey,
04:06so you can wipe that silly grin off your face.
04:08And that goes for you too, Michael. I thought you knew better.
04:10Sorry. Excuse us.
04:11Nell, have you got the rattle tickets?
04:13Yes, yes. They're in the bag with my bowls.
04:15Did I just hear her mention raffle tickets?
04:20Yeah. The bowling club are selling them for the hospital auxiliary.
04:23Oh, great. Between them and the dogs and now the calendars,
04:27it's going to be more like a church faith than a grand opening.
04:29Paul, speaking of dogs, are you sure you won't reconsider taking one?
04:34Look, the youngest of the litter looks just like you.
04:36Hey, Henry.
04:37No, he does. Look, he's got that real upmarket look about him.
04:41A regular yuppie puppy, a real gucci-pucci.
04:44What's up with him?
04:45Yes.
04:46Oh, Scott. If you're here to talk about Paul and I, you can forget it. Otherwise, you can come in.
05:01The place looks like it's something out of a ghost town.
05:08Yeah, you mean if it belongs in the past, you're right, it does.
05:11Look, I just came by to see if you want to come to the party yourself. I know Dad and Beverly would love to see you there.
05:16I can't, Scott. I've organised an earlier flight. I've got to be at the airport at five.
05:21Oh. Well, would you like me to take you? Henry won't mind if I borrow Bertha for a while.
05:27Thanks, but there's no need.
05:28No, I'd like to. It's no trouble.
05:30What about the party?
05:31They'll be here tomorrow. You won't.
05:34Look, I'd love you to drive me.
05:38You know, despite everything, I've loved having a younger brother.
05:42Even if it was only for a few months.
05:45Well, Gail, this is wrong. The whole family loves you, especially Paul. You told me you did.
05:52Yeah, nice try, Scott, but I know you'd do anything to get us back together again.
05:55Gail, it is the truth, honestly.
05:57Yeah, well, I'll believe it when I hear it from Paul himself. And don't hold your breath. He's had plenty of opportunities.
06:04Yes.
06:08Well, you'd better get back to the pub. I've still got lots of packing to do.
06:11I'll be back to take you to the airport, okay?
06:15Yeah, go ahead.
06:36You never know your luck.
06:37A brand new car would make a lovely wedding present. Just the, uh, ticket, one might say. How many shall I put you down for?
06:43Uh, can I leave you to sort out the rental tickets, darling? I'll, uh, I'll go and get some drinks.
06:47Cherry for me, thank you.
06:49Two.
06:51Hey, you've organized this well, haven't you?
06:53I mean, you don't even have to spring for the drinks.
06:55Thought it hadn't crossed my mind, Paul. It seemed an ideal opportunity to spend some time with the people I love.
07:00Plenty of joke, Dad.
07:02Yes, and so is your marriage. I noticed it didn't take you too long to laugh it off. But then, that's your philosophy, isn't it? Business as usual, hm?
07:10Better tap another keg, Mum. Des and his Dad are here.
07:18Good night, everyone.
07:19He had a load of oil, eh?
07:22Hmm?
07:23I knew it was going to be a big party, but I didn't expect fireworks.
07:26Desmond! Desmond!
07:28Desmond!
07:30What is he doing here?
07:31I've asked you along to meet some of my friends. If you don't like it...
07:34I don't like it!
07:35Oh, tough.
07:36Don't mind me, Dad. Come on, mate.
07:39Lovely outfit, Eileen.
07:41Just have to hope somebody's dreaming of a white Christmas, won't you?
07:50We should have got Mrs. Mangle to help us with her puppies.
07:52She could talk anybody into anything.
07:54I wish she could talk Dad into letting me have this one.
07:57Well, wishing isn't going to make him change his mind. You heard what he said.
08:00I know. We haven't got enough room now that Mrs. Ramsey and Henry are coming to stay with us.
08:05Hey, Scott.
08:06Hey.
08:07Where's Charlene today?
08:08She already arranged to help Sue Parker fix her car before any of this was organised.
08:11She'll be here tonight, though.
08:13Where did you disappear to?
08:15I was trying to get Gail to come to the party, but it was a total waste of time.
08:19You know, she's moved a flight forward to this afternoon.
08:22Hell.
08:23Those two are so dumb. It's obvious they love each other.
08:26You reckon? How can you tell?
08:28You just can. I was right about Dad and Beverly, wasn't I?
08:32You know, I just wish I could do something about it.
08:34Wishing isn't going to change their minds.
08:36Now, where have I heard that?
08:38Scott Robinson, just the person.
08:40Yeah, Mrs. Mangle later, okay?
08:42Just tell Henry I've got the spare keys to his car, okay? He won't mind, alright?
08:45Alright.
08:46Well, he seemed in rather a hurry.
08:49I can only hope that he's running late for an appointment to have his haircut.
08:53There, Matt.
08:54There, Matt.
08:55There.
08:56There, Matt.
08:57There.
08:58There, Matt.
08:59There.
09:00There.
09:01There, there.
09:02There.
09:03There, there.
09:04You'll never guess what that son of mine has done.
09:06Look!
09:07He's brought that man here!
09:08No!
09:09Oh, well, you did say you'd allow them to communicate, Arlene.
09:13Well, I didn't expect it to interfere with my social life.
09:16Thank goodness you're here. I need some moral support.
09:21Spray that in.
09:24What's up?
09:27What's the matter, Paul? Not having much fun?
09:30You know what Dad just said to me?
09:31I can imagine.
09:33He thinks I've got the sensitivity of a housebreak.
09:35There was nothing very sensitive about that marriage contract of yours.
09:39I've let you all down, haven't I?
09:44Darling, you've let yourself down. That's the tragedy of it.
09:48Get a load of those, do you want to the mistletoe?
09:50Makes your lips pucker just thinking about it, don't they?
09:53No, I can't say it does, Ed. We know.
09:54Well, come on, Al. I thought you were right into this festive stuff.
09:58You know, goodwill to all men, even if they are women.
10:00Well, yes, I am, yes.
10:01Well, what are you waiting for?
10:03Oh, come on. Go get them, Tiger.
10:06I'm just joking.
10:09Oh, Mr. Bishop, you are an autistic boy.
10:17I can see I'm going to have to keep my eye on you, Harold.
10:19Next thing I know, you're going to be dancing on the table with a lampshade on your head.
10:22Oh, yes, if ever I were to start drinking, that would be the time, I think.
10:25Oh, you'd better watch out, mate. I reckon Arlene's jealous.
10:28No.
10:28Oh, come on.
10:30You can fix that.
10:30What, me kiss Arlene?
10:33You've got to be joking.
10:34It might sweeten her up a bit.
10:36Make life a lot easier for kids.
10:37Joke's a joke.
10:38I'm surprised at you, Nell.
10:40Fancy allowing yourself to be canoodled in public.
10:42Oh, you're just jealous.
10:44No, I'm not.
10:45Oh, yes, you are.
10:46Oh, now, listen, never mind.
10:47We won't talk about that now.
10:48I'll put your bowling bag down there by mine.
10:50We have got a game today.
10:51You know, you've probably wasted all your energy lugging it around.
10:54Come on.
10:55Oh!
10:57What have you done?
10:58Crikey.
10:59Desmond, don't look at me like that.
11:00It wasn't my fault.
11:01Honestly, I...
11:02You ready to go?
11:12Yes, ready as I'll ever be.
11:15If you don't mind taking those out to the car.
11:21Oh, my God.
11:51What's the score, Bear?
11:52Well, ordinarily, a knock like that wouldn't have caused too much damage.
11:56But the arthritis has made it a lot worse.
11:58Arthritis?
11:58Didn't know you were arthritic.
12:00It has been a few years, Eileen.
12:02Have you been taking any medication for it?
12:04Yes, I've got some capsules.
12:05They're in a bottle of my coat pocket.
12:07I try to only take them when I have to.
12:09Well, you should take them all the time, you silly old fool.
12:11Haven't you done enough for one day?
12:13Oh, these are fine.
12:14I want you to increase the dosage to three a day.
12:17And if you know what's good for you, don't forget.
12:18If he doesn't know what's good for him, look at me.
12:21Fair go, Mum.
12:22Dad's crook enough as it is.
12:23Does he need any other treatment?
12:25Well, preferably an ice pack to keep the swelling down.
12:28And an elastic bandage.
12:30No worries.
12:31We can fix that up here.
12:32Do you live alone?
12:33Yes.
12:34I prefer it that way.
12:35Oh, we might have a problem then.
12:37You've got to keep off your feet completely for at least three weeks.
12:41Oh, crikey.
12:42Mum, you'll just have to stay here with us.
12:44And I don't want any arguments.
12:46Well, now I've got that sorted out.
12:48If you'll excuse me, I'll get back to Lazarus.
12:50Thanks for your help.
12:51Yeah, thanks for all the trouble.
12:52Actually, I'll bludge you to live back with you.
12:54Is that okay?
12:55I'll see you out in the car.
12:56Take care.
12:57Listen, Dez, I can't stay here like this.
12:59No, and I can't stay here either.
13:00I'm going back to my unit.
13:01I'll collect my things now.
13:02You'll do nothing of the sort.
13:05You can't afford a nurse.
13:06And if it wasn't for you, none of this would have happened.
13:09You're sick and tired of being the meat in the sandwich.
13:11And I'm sick and tired of you two bickering.
13:14Now, you're both going to stay here.
13:16And you're both going to like it.
13:18Good.
13:19Now, Mum, you can start by getting the ice pack for that.
13:22So you both want to get home.
13:23Well, won't this be fun?
13:41Why are we stopping here?
13:42You want to say goodbye, don't you?
13:44The family will be hurt if you don't.
13:48Anyway, unless you put in some kind of appearance,
13:50they'll all just think you've wimped out.
13:51I'm too ashamed to face them.
13:55It still spells wimp to me.
14:01What about the plane?
14:03It's about ten minutes.
14:11I hope you're going to enjoy putting me through this.
14:14Keep still.
14:22Thanks, but you needn't trouble yourself any further.
14:25As soon as my leg feels a little bit better,
14:26I'm getting out of here.
14:28You haven't changed, have you?
14:30Always thinking of yourself.
14:31What happens if Desmond comes home and finds you gone?
14:34Probably blame you for it.
14:35You'd like that, wouldn't you?
14:39No.
14:40Look, isn't there some way we can find a putting up with each other?
14:44Well, for Desmond's sake, of course.
14:46Of course.
14:47Well?
14:49Look, I've spent too many years wondering about Desmond.
14:51I'm not about to let you drive me off again.
14:53Again?
14:53What do you mean again?
14:54Poor choice of words.
14:55I mean, I'm not about to shirk my responsibilities.
14:59That's better.
15:00Look, you go.
15:01I'll be all right.
15:02I'll be all right.
15:03No, no, no, no.
15:04It's too late now.
15:05Nell's probably found herself another partner.
15:07She'd do anything for a chance to play with Reverend Samson.
15:10Now I'll just have to content myself with organising dinner.
15:13Dinner?
15:16I don't suppose there's any chance you'll be whipping up one of your apple crumbles, is there?
15:20No, there isn't.
15:21I had no intention of baking today.
15:23Oh!
15:24Oh!
15:26Of course, I might just manage one.
15:29After all, you aren't well.
15:34Eileen really is an uselessness.
15:36I had to miss my bowls because of her food.
15:38Oh, that's true.
15:38We should take more care.
15:39No, no, no, please.
15:41Excuse me.
15:42Well, really.
15:43Listen, mate.
15:43I'm not the person who invited Sally here.
15:45It was Jim.
15:46It's not my fault she didn't want to go with you.
15:48Oh, yeah.
15:49Boys, boys.
15:51Now, may I remind you that traditionally this is a time of peace.
15:54Now, I suggest that you shake hands and settle your differences later.
15:58Either that or you can both leave.
16:03Sorry, mate.
16:04Grandad always says you can judge a man by the firmness of his handshake.
16:08Excuse me.
16:08Gail.
16:12I've just been saying goodbye to Lucy.
16:15Well, I couldn't go without saying goodbye to you two.
16:19Sorry.
16:20I'm terribly sorry the way this has all turned out.
16:22My feelings for everyone were never an act.
16:25I know.
16:26Oh, I'm going to miss you.
16:29Now, you take care of yourself and keep in touch.
16:32Yeah, I will.
16:34I'm afraid you'll have to give my apologies to Jim and Beverly.
16:37I...
16:38It's all right.
16:39I'll explain, mate.
16:40Now, you have to catch an earlier plane.
16:42Yeah.
16:45Isn't there someone else you should say goodbye to?
16:57You blew it again, didn't you?
16:59Is that how you're going to spend the rest of your life?
17:00Shut up, Scott.
17:01You know, you once told me you got to be a big success by taking risks.
17:05So why don't you take a chance on Gail?
17:07I've had enough of this.
17:19Gail?
17:20Gail, wait, please.
17:25I don't want you to go.
17:28The fact is...
17:31I love you.
17:37What did you say?
17:39I said, I love you.
17:42Oh, Paul, do you know how long I've been hoping you'd say that?
17:48I love you, too, so much.
17:56It's silly, isn't it?
17:59Yeah.
18:01Oh, look at them.
18:05Look at them.
18:06Isn't it great?
18:07You bet.
18:11And Beverly and I would like to say how much we appreciate most of our good friends and neighbors
18:14coming along to help us celebrate this big special thing.
18:18And from now on, all the drinks are on me.
18:20There is one condition, however.
18:28When Helen hands around the hat, everybody has to put their car keys in.
18:32Jim?
18:34Everyone except Harold.
18:35On you, Harold.
18:37Because whether you drink or not, I'm sure you realize this is the best time of year to be off the road.
18:41Excuse me for a moment, please.
18:46My youngest has a newsflash.
18:48I'm told, excuse me, I'm told, I'm told Gail has not taken the trip to the States,
19:00but has decided to settle here at Ramsey Street and live happily ever after.
19:03Which makes it much easier for me to say the next thing I want to say, which is Merry Christmas.
19:11Merry Christmas.
19:12Merry Christmas.
19:13Merry Christmas to you, Mr. Mayor.
19:15Merry Christmas to you.
19:17Merry Christmas.
19:18Merry Christmas.
19:19Merry Christmas.
19:20Merry Christmas.
19:22Everybody listen.
19:28Merry Christmas.
19:58Merry Christmas.
