Can we have a quick word before your next set?

Leon's organising a group of entertainers to go
to Vietnam and entertain the troops.
Oh, bully for Leon.
I told him you'd be perfect for the gig.
He wants you to go.
(LAUGHS)
♪ You think that I don't feel love
♪ But what I feel for you is real love
♪ In other's eyes I see reflected
♪ A hurt, scorned, rejected, love child
♪ Different from the rest. ♪
Leon has financed a few tours,
organised entertainers to go over and do their bit. It would only be
for a month, which would work out fine with the pregnancy.
Here, have a read of the contract.
He's paying pretty well.
More than you'll earn here.
Just give me the word and I'll get the ball rolling,
get your visa and flights organised. You'll need vaccinations.
Why are you doing this? Because you're good.
And because I think you need an opportunity to spread your wings
before you have this baby.
It might be your last chance.
I thought you hated the idea of Vietnam.
Well, you'd be going over to sing.
Maybe spread a little sunshine.
Johnny would like that.
When do you need an answer?
Soon.
End of the week at the latest.
It's the Sydney Tower office building.
Tell me more. Will you be site manager?
Shit kicker, but it is a job.
You can be my site manager.
Yes, Doctor.
Mr Marsh, as your doctor, I detect some vasodilation
of the corpora cavernosa. Oh, should I be worried?
No, but I think I should.
What? I want us to make plans.
Yeah, like what?
I want you to finish your residency.
Mmm. I want to build us a house.
A great big one.
Describe it.
It'll have a pool.
And an office where you can see patients.
Mm-hm.
And five bedrooms.
Ooh, five bedrooms.
Sounds like a motel.
And fill it with kids.
I want to make you happy.
You do make me happy.
I've been making lists in my head.
Like pros and cons, trying to work out how I can make this happen.
What's to think about? You say, "Yes."
It would mean that I'd have to leave Deanna for a whole month.
Patty will look after her. And what if she can't?
If you want to do this, Annie, you'll find a way.
I would be able to save everything I earned over there
so I'd be able to support Deanna and myself till the baby comes.
See, now you're talking.
Have you got the map?
Yep.
See, here.
Nui Dat, this is where Bernie is.
That's where all of the Australian troops are.
Bernie says it's really hot, sticky hot, and he says it smells like
mangoes and incense and the beaches have white sand
as fine as baby powder.
And the oceans have 1000 different shades of blue and green.
Just imagine. Oh, god, Annie.
You're gonna have such an adventure.
Soiled hospital linen has been identified as the number one
source of pathogenic organisms.
Who here can tell me what a pathogenic organism is?
Margaret?
Germs?
Very good. But my name's Maggie.
Now, we must use extreme vigilance when handling the hospital linen.
It will be soiled with blood, body fluids, secretions and excretions,
all festering with pathogenic organisms. Many factors come
into play when striving for linen that is free from microorganisms.
(SNEEZES)
Excuse me. Including the use of detergents,
enzymes, chlorine, bleach, the mechanical action of rinsing,
the temperature of the water, the drying process. Girls!
You gonna give it a name? Dunno.
How about Kitty?
That's original.
Alright. What about Sunshine?
I want her to be comfortable.
All the girls are comfortable.
And safe. I want Maggie to have her own room.
I don't play favourites.
You did with me.
The first time you were here
you had no special privileges.
The second time you paid me.
I'll pay you this time.
Maggie won't benefit from special treatment.
And she won't be separated from her friend, Cynthia.
I don't want her to think no-one cares.
Is this a philanthropic mission,
or would you prefer Maggie know who her benefactor is?
Because right now, while Maggie is in Stanton House,
I am her legal guardian.
Unless you'd like to consider
applying for guardianship?
No. ♪ Ya can't roller skate

Yeah,

What time do you think you'll pick him up?
Oh, I'm going for a job, so it's probably going to be
Joan doing the drop-offs and pick-ups from now on.
Ah.
Well, at least you've got work though, that's great.
Yeah, it's better than sitting on my ass feeling useless all day.
You're not useless.
I know about all that work you did to save those people's homes.
That's really heroic.
You know, if you closed down for a day there'd be chaos.
Lives would be ruined.
See ya, mate.
Good luck today!
Yay.
Going to a country that's in the middle of a war endemic,
with cholera, typhoid, malaria - it's not a good idea.
Will the immunisations hurt the baby?
There's some risk, yes.
Well, how big a risk?
There have been cases of miscarriages, birth defects.
Well, I just won't have them then.
If you're serious about going it's better to have them.
The diseases are far worse than the risk of the vaccinations.
I mean, are you sure you want to do this?
Sorry, I'm sorry.
Rehearsal was supposed to start half an hour ago.
I'm sorry, I'll just get my song list.
You made up your mind yet?
About Vietnam?
Sorry, love, not open.
Beg your pardon. Mum!
What are you doing here?
I'm here for your father. He wants to see you.
How long's he been sick?
A few months.
It's his lungs.
No surprises there, I guess.
Why have you waited this long to tell me?
You're the one who ran off.
We had no phone number, no address. It's only because a friend of mine
saw your picture in a magazine that I was able to find you.
Yeah, well, you didn't really want me hanging around Newcastle.
Dad wanted me to give you these.
In case you couldn't come.
They're your snow domes.
I told him he was being silly, that you wouldn't want them.
Of course I want them.
I want to see him too.
Maybe in a couple of weeks I can come up,
once I've organised some stuff here.
We'll have buried him by then.
Does Doctor McNaughton know you're seeking fertility treatment from me?
No, and I'd prefer to keep it that way.
Patrick won't be the father,
if that's what you're thinking.
I have a friend. He's not my first choice but he understands.
At this point in life it's alarming how quickly your options diminish.
I'll need you to time the length of your cycles and there'll be
frequent blood tests to check your oestrogen and progesterone levels.
I'm assuming you're ready to start?
Tubulation is prepped for 10am, I want you there. Yes, sir.
And the Dunphy baby delivered last week, the parents want to proceed
with surgery. Great, great.
I'm not sure that's how they see it. What's wrong with you today?
Uh, sir, I have some news that I'd like to share with you. Patrick.
The, um, the finalisation of the divorce.
It just needs your signature and a witness.
Yep, of course. And, um,
you can send it to the solicitor, or if you prefer I could pick it up.
No, I can do that.
You said you had some news? Uh, no, no. No news.
OK.
Look, Deanna.
Look at the snow. Hey?
I haven't been home for nearly a year.
They don't know that I've kept Deanna,
they don't know that I'm pregnant again.
So tell them.
Come clean.
They wanted me to give her up.
Ah, people change.
Death puts things into perspective.
Give them a chance.
Might be surprised.
I guess Maggie showing up out of the blue's
given you a new perspective on things.
I'll get that.
Annie. Dad! Mum.
This is Deanna, your granddaughter.
She must be teething.
Does she do anything?
I don't know, Ronnie, why don't you poke her and find out?
Don't poke her. Bill...
What's her name again?
Deanna. Be careful, Dad. She won't break.
You walking yet, De?
Not yet.
You were walking at nine months.
That's 'cause I always wanted to get away.
Joan!
Hi! Hey! I got the job!
Congratulations! Oh! Thank you.
Yeah, I start tomorrow. Tomorrow?
I'm back in the residence quarters tomorrow for my shift.
How's that going to work with James? Well, I don't know.
I thought you'd organised James before you went for the job.
I did. You were gonna stay home with him.
You know my work is unpredictable. Oh, well...
I mean, is it that important for you to haul bricks around?
Huh? I can support the three of us
while you work on your legal case
and we'd save a lot of money not having to pay Patty.
I should just cut off my balls now and save you the trouble.
Don't be ridiculous. You could always give up work.
It's my career, Jim.
Where are you going?
Aren't you a beautiful
little creature?
10 little fingers
and 10 little toes.
Hey, Viv, this came for you from Vietnam.
Oh, it's from Bernie.
Can you open it for me?
It's from my brother.
Oh.
Can you read it for me?
Dear Viv, things are not good here.
This place is driving me crazy.
I don't think I'm going to make it home.
Can you make sure Mum and Dad get the film?
Ah.
I think Doctor McNaughton has a projector.
I wish you wouldn't smoke.
(COUGHS) Bit late now.
Thanks for the snow domes.
I'd forgotten all about them.
Remember that trip to the Big Banana?
Six hours driving, me and Ronnie in the back seat of the Mustang
in the middle of summer
'cause you wanted to...
..break the car in or something.
Bloody good car too.
It was 110 degrees, I had to peel
my legs off the back seat.
It wasn't all bad.
You got a snow dome out of it. Yeah.
(LAUGHS AND COUGHS)
Oh, Dad.
(DOOR KNOCK)
What'd you do with that car I gave you?
I sold it. It was a good car.
Yeah, well, I had to buy baby stuff.
Listen, go easy on your mum.
She's having a tough time of it at the moment.
Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry, Annie's not mentioned you.
But my daughter is, if nothing else, a box of surprises.
Please, Annie, don't be angry. Don't tell me how to be.
You just took off, Chris, without telling me.
I had no idea if you were coming back.
And then you just show up like a bad penny.
I cocked up, yeah, big time.
You have got no idea how difficult it is with my parents.
I know. I know, and I'm sorry,
and I'm going to go back on the first train, but...
Yeah, you are. I'm gonna drive you to the station now.
Annie, please, let me show you something.
It's called Sea Scape.
You see the ground floor one on the right?
It's two bedrooms, kitchen with all the modcons...
Why are you showing me this?
Because I've applied to get a lease on it.
We can't afford that. I've been working,
I've been working hard.
I don't trust you.
I want you to come home and marry me.
In your dreams.
I mean it.
Well, at least... At least
let me come inside for lunch.
Your mum did invite me.
Why did your brother send you this?
He says he's not gonna make it home.
Hey?
Play nice.
Oh, this looks fabbo, Mrs Carmichael.
What a treat!
Pretty nice to be back on my old stomping ground too.
You from Newcastle? Born and bred.
I left here about 10 years ago.
I wanted to work in the mines
but my old man wouldn't have a bar of it.
Your old man had some sense.
What work do you do, Chris?
I'm a manager. Yeah, small business, but, uh,
when we move to Maroubra I'm gonna buy a surf shop.
You're moving in together?
Yeah, yeah. Hey, these look amazing.
Annie's favourite. Oh.
No, thank you. You don't look well.
Yeah, she's had the flu lately, haven't you?
Oh, I thought it was food poisoning.
Actually I'm pregnant.
Oh! Not again!
I'm the father. We're looking at getting married, um,
and I wanted to lease a place at Maroubra Beach.
It's this one on the right. Excuse me.
(SHE VOMITS)
I used to see that same intense look on Patrick's face.
Must be difficult dividing your time between here and having your baby.
I manage.
I don't think I could be a good mother and hold down a job.
Which is ironic, because I have neither.
Your blood test results show that you're due to ovulate
in the next 24 hours.
I've been thinking we should arrange our appointments
around Patrick's schedule.
Early mornings or late evenings.
Early mornings will work best for me.
Right, a list of symptoms I want you to watch out for.
If you experience any of them
you have to come to the hospital immediately.
I'm sure that won't be necessary.
If you want this treatment from me, protocol must be followed.
These are my rules, alright?
So if I don't follow your rules I lose my chance to have a baby?
This is about your health, Eva.
And your reputation.
You're in a very enviable position, Doctor.
A husband, a baby, no doubt more to come.
You have no idea.
So please,
no more ultimatums.

Is there anything else? No.
See you next time, thank you.
Hi. I thought Joan was picking him up?
Change of plan. How was your first day?
Yeah, I got the boot. They found out I was on bail.
That's not fair, do they know who you are?
I think that's the problem.
I'm so sorry.
Don't worry about it.
Um, so I don't know where... He had a teddy.
I don't know where that went. Yeah, it'll turn up.
Come on, matey, let's get you home.

to the hospital within minutes of being wounded.

complex which was built in 1968, replacing...

Least this one wants to marry you. I don't know if I want to marry him.
In your current position
I don't think you have the luxury of saying no.
It'll work out, love.
I've buggered everything up.
No, you haven't.
I'm proud of you.
(SNIFFLES)
I've been asked to go to Vietnam and sing for the troops.
Fair dinkum?
I haven't said yes.
Well, you bloody better.
Hello. I've come for the divorce papers.
Sure.
I'd like to pick up a few things from the house
if that's alright with you.
Of course, tonight if you want.
No, tomorrow's fine. You could stay for dinner.
Ah, I've, um, I've made arrangements.
Maybe another time?
Gary was absolutely miserable today,
I'd think about keeping him home tomorrow. OK, thank you.
Joan, um, he's gone.
I mean, well, Jim picked him up. Is everything OK?
Uh, everything's fine. I should, I should pay you while I'm here.
Oh, no, don't worry about it.
Another day. Patty, I'm here, I'm going to pay you, alright?
What time did he come by?
Uh, it was early, I don't remember.
I think he was a bit upset.
Um, he lost his job. They found he was on bail.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Thank you. Thank you.
I hope he's alright.
I'm sure he'll be fine.
Hey. Patty told me.
I'm sorry.
Your work is important, I shouldn't have said that.
You being happy is important.
Hey. Shh.
There you go.
A veritable smorgasbord.
(MEOWING)
Go on, shoo.
(MEOWS)
Shoo.
I'll need you in theatre at 10.
Yes, sir.
Oh, and Bowditch, I hear congratulations are in order.
Yeah, thank you, sir. We're very excited.
Yes, well, I'm sure I'm not telling you anything but, uh,
there are people here who won't be.
Doctor McNaughton,
thanks for letting me use your projector.
Have you learnt anything more about your brother's situation?
No, which is exactly what I wanted to
talk to you about.
Sunny! Please, Sunny! Sunshine, where are you?
She's going crazy!
Sunshine, where are you? Maggie?
Sunny? Are you here? Maggie?
Just leave me alone! Just leave me alone.
It's OK. Stop!
OK, sweetheart, sweetheart, you need to calm down.
I'm just trying to find my cat. Come here. Maggie?
I can't find her. It's gonna be alright. Maggie...
Don't touch me!
Sunny? She's got to be here somewhere.
Sunshine, where are you?
I've got your tea, Dad.
Deanna! Hey, come to Mummy.
Oh, sorry, Dad.
Dad? Dad?
Dad?
Mum! Mum! Dad?
Hey, hey, Dad. Mum!
Mum! Dad!
No! Dad!
No! Mum! No!
(SOLEMN MUSIC OBSCURES VOICE)
Maggie's a very sad little girl.
Because of me. I'm not laying any blame,
I just think you should know.
I don't know what I can do about that.
I was an impossible 15-year-old.
Incapable of making even one sensible decision.
I know. I feel like that now.
Stupid and selfish and incapable. You're none of those things, Shirl.
I'm no mother of the year, that's for sure.
Well, that makes two of us.
You are a wonderful mother to James.
Am I? We'll see in a few years.
The way you fought for him?
You may as well have given birth to him.
I'll never know that. No, you will.
Once you've had babies of your own.
I don't know if I can.
My tubes are rubbish.
Does Jim know?
Don't tell him.

Hi. Hey.
If you're looking for the formula,
it's in the fridge.
I thought I'd take James to a park
and get him out of the house, do something wild.
You're not gonna take him to Patty's? No.
Jim, I...
While you were in prison
I had an operation for an infection in my fallopian tubes.
And a long time ago I had a termination.
My tubes are scarred.
I don't know if I'll ever be able to fall pregnant.
Say something.
