"What did she say?" "When do I start training?" "Wait, you're not gonna give him a go?" "Not this year, no." "You don't need money, you need some time." "Stay a week." "We'll sort the car out." "Then we'll see where you're at." "I like the way you do business, Mr Crabb." "That'll be Councillor Crabb soon." "Once the voters have their say." "Excuse me?" "Angie's on the radio." "FIFI BOX: (ON RADIO) Which Californian sporting team is named after the original gold prospectors?" "The 49ers." "The 49ers?" "BRENDAN FEVOLA: (ON RADIO) Oh, forget school."

"She's a literacy specialist, and a very good one." "We're lucky to have her." "Yeah, but surely it's up to the parents to shell out for extra learning if their little Johnny isn't up to it." "The PC voted, I secured funding." "You would know that if your head wasn't firmly..." " Yes?" " in your council business." "How come your name isn't on this list?" "I got something on that weekend."

"They leave behind more than they pick up." "Drains are blocked every time it rains." "That's the point of a drain, to collect the rain." "Well, when you put it like that, Lewis." "Hey, Nick!" "Earth to Nick." "Oh, sorry." "What do you think of this sign?" "Sorry, I haven't slept." "The hormones." "Testosterone?" "It's Rachel." "Ever since the pregnancy, she's been... insatiable."

"He inspired me to call your footy friend Peta." "Yeah, yeah, Peta Cox." "And?" "And she invited me for a meet and greet." "I don't know, I must have impressed her because I've got a fitness test this Saturday." "I'm taking the guys Kokoda training tomorrow." " Maybe you should tag along." " Yeah." "Yeah, I'm there."

"Well, I don't get that much time." "Why, are you gonna recommend something?" "Maybe, but not a book." "See, I looked at the way that you spelt things, the way that you constructed sentences." "Well, I'm not an expert like you." "No, of course, but there were some obvious problems that I can help you with." "Have you ever been tested for dyslexia?" "No." "Why?" "I think you might be under that umbrella." "(LAUGHS) What umbrella?" "How do you feel about taking a test?" "How can I be dyslexic?" "Well, you do tick a few of these boxes." "I spell, I write, I read." "Oh, your spelling is appalling, your writing is dreadful and you hardly ever read." "I read books to Tilda every night." "Well, you interpret them."

"Did he hit his head or...?" " There weren't any rocks." " Exhaustion maybe." "I mean, he was going pretty hard at the end there." " Hey!" " RAF:" "I still beat you lot." " (LAUGHTER)" " Hey, hey." "Hey, just chill, okay?" "Chill." "We're getting you an ambulance, okay?" "What?" "Why?" "No, I'm fine." "It's just..." "It's low blood sugar, okay?" " I just need some food." " Right." "The access gate's locked." "We're gonna have to meet the ambulance down there." " Okay." " Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" " What are you doing?" " You heard him." "We need to meet them at the gate." " Okay, okay, just..." " Take this off." " I'm fine!" " You're not fine." " I got it." " Come on." "Just to the gate." "Mark, please tell me you're close." "I can't take her with me." " (CLUNKING)" " Mark?" " (CLUNK!" ")" " Oh, Abi, you're home." "Um, yeah, I live here." "Mark said I could borrow his tools." " I want to hang some paintings." " Oh!" "Sorry, I thought you'd be at work." "Yes, well, so did I, but Mark's supposed to be minding Georgia." "I suppose I could take her." "No." "That's fine." "Thank you." "But, um... we'll manage." "Very well." "Thank you." "LEWIS:" "Yeah, scratch the ambulance." "He's up and about." " That's because I'm fine." " Get in the car." "Yes, we'll drop by Emergency on the way home just to make sure." "Thanks, fellas." " See ya." " See ya." "Oh, a ticket!" "The machine was broken!" "Oh, Abi's gonna kill me." "What a joke!" "Money-grabbing parking tickets, locked gate, no emergency access." "Bugger it!" "You know what." "I'm gonna take a broom to that council." "Oh, Lewis Crabb cleaning up council." "Yeah, I can see that." "Ha!" "Cleaning up council." "Picture this, me with a broom, sweeping Town Hall into the rubbish!" "Or not." "Whatever you reckon." "You could be my campaign director." "Oh, I don't know." "I..." "I've got a business." "Make me your business." "Money's no object... within reason." "Its a win-win." " I raise my profile and Olive Tree..." " Hill." "Olive Tree Hill gets the kudos for promoting a winning candidate." "All right!" "But I have final say on strategy." "And I get to check every press release." "Mate, you can stick your commas wherever you like." "Just get me elected." "Isn't this fun coming to Mummy's work in rush hour?" "Yes, it is!" "Dr Albert, if you are here today, please report to ED." "Ah." "Gavin, Gavin." "Um, time to brush up on your paediatrics." "This child is dehydrated." "She needs regular obs, 300mls of warm milk, some mashed banana." "And I'd recommend a nap in about half an hour." "Uh, there's a storybook in here." " Georgia?" " Mm-hm." "What's wrong with her?" "Negligent father." "Dr Albert, when you're ready." "Mr Barami, you must be born under an unlucky star." "At least your complexion's improved since the last time I saw you." "Rafiq?" "So, ah, you had a turn at the beach?" "Yeah, it used to happen to me all the time during training." "Why didn't you say?" "Because it doesn't matter." "You used to lose consciousness during training?" "Well, no, just head spins." "I mean, this is the very first time that I've ever passed out." "Sober." "But I'm as fit as I've ever been." "Can you organise a cardio consult right away with Dr Coleman?" " A cardio...?" " It's just a precaution." "Hi, I'm Lewis Crabb, and I'm here at St Michael's Hospital, where a young man who, due to a locked council gate, was forced to walk 100m after he collapsed, is now receiving the treatment that he requires." "You, give me the patient." "No, I'm sorry, Nurse." "I'm the campaign manager for..." "Give me the patient now." "Or should I call security?" "She's not a patient." "She's..." "she's actually my daughter." "She's Dr Albert's daughter?" "Well, if you want to be technical about it, yeah." "Look, there was just a bit of a mix-up with creche, so..." "Well, then, I should report it to ensure this egregious waste of hospital resources never happens again." "Oh, there's no need for that." "We're all adults here. (CHUCKLES)" "Except for the baby." "Oh, please." "Stop selling, Mr Crabb." "I'm not buying." "Okay, thanks." "I'll let him know." "So, good to go?" " Not yet." " What is it?" "The scan suggests you have arrhythmia." "It's an irregular heartbeat." "What's that mean, like a once off?" "It could be more serious than that." "We need to do some more tests." "But given your history of dizzy spells," "I think it's an ongoing condition." "So what's he need to do to get better?" "Beta-blockers can help to regulate the heartbeat, otherwise we may need to implant a defibrillator." "The most important thing is to avoid anything that puts undue stress on the heart." "Or what?" "The good thing is we've found it now." "I did this to him, didn't I?" "I pushed him too hard." " Justin, it's not your fault." " Abi, what is it?" "There is another issue that affects you and the boys." "I'm really sorry but this condition is genetic." "I would have been better off not knowing and then collapsing on a footy field." "Come on, don't be silly." "You don't mean that." "At least I'd be remembered." "I mean, who remembers the kid who never made it because he had a turn?" "Great story, Raf." "I don't even have a scar to show for it." "I'm sorry." "Don't be, because I'm not going out like this." "You heard the doc, I can beat it with the drugs." "Yeah, manage it." "Same thing, whatever." "Yeah, I guess I played with guys who had medical problems." "One bloke, I remember, had half a foot." " Yeah, Davey Cowes, right?" " Yeah." "He had a great kick." "That was the other foot, but still..." "You'll bounce back." "(LAID-BACK GUITAR MUSIC)" " Am I in trouble?" " I don't know, Mark." "Do you deserve to be in trouble?" "Look, all I said to Toni..." "What's going on with you and Rachel?" " Oh, you mean her hormones?" " No, I mean with you." "She was here today borrowing your tools." "Or at least that's what she told me." "I told you she was into me. (LAUGHS)" "Oh, don't worry, I'm a one-woman man." "Who just happens to be attractive to other women." "I guess that makes me a lucky woman, then, huh?" " I guess it does." " Right." "(BOTH CHUCKLE)" "What did you tell Toni about Georgia?" " I told her she was our child..." " (GASPS) because she was threatening to call security." "Oh, no!" "Now she knows I had my kid at the hospital." "I need to call her before this becomes a thing." "Well, more of a thing." "(LAID-BACK GUITAR MUSIC)" "Stuck again, Dad?" "Oh, just the usual speed hump, Pops." "What's the product this time?" "Lewis Crabb." "Pops, what do you think a councillor is?" "They have them at Mum's work." "They listen to people's problems." "Listening." "Listening... is important." "Who would listen to Lewis?" "What if he gave them something?" "Like coffee?" "Hashtag coffee with Crabb." "They talk, he listens." "I like it." "You are a chip off the old block." "Mwah." "Now, I have to make a call." "ABI:" "It doesn't hurt, boys." "The halter monitor just records your heartbeat over 24 hours." "Why do we have to wear these things?" "Because the hospital's doing a special study on twins to see if their hearts beat the same." " Come on." " Good boy." "Zac." "Justin, you can stop." "Did I pass?" "Looks like you passed." "No arrhythmia." "What about Rafiq?" "You mentioned beta-blockers." "Or a defibrillator if they don't work." "Let's say they do, what's to stop him playing footy again?" "Well, drugs can only do so much." "The more stress Rafiq puts..." "Yeah, yeah, I know you have to give me the worst-case scenario." "But this is me, Abi." "There must be a way he can play footy again." " Right?" " I'm sorry, there's not." "Do you want me to tell him?" "No, I'll do it." "Do you have a moment to talk about the Local Council elections?" "No, fair enough." "It's only your future." "Can you pretend you're listening to me?" "Oh, shouldn't be too hard." " I'm dying here." " Aw!" "Where's my campaign manager?" " Hey, Nick..." " Not now, Lewis." "Oi!" "I set it to a lower sensitivity." "Oh, I hope not too low." "You don't want to lose all sensation." "Beautiful bike girl." "You know, I think it's the combination of the brainy vibe and the boots." "What does your tattoo say?" "It says 'wanderlust'." " Did it hurt?" " Can't say." "I was out of it." " Oh!" " Groovy." "Oh, she means rad." "No, I remember 'groovy' and 'rad'. (LAUGHS)" "Groovy was fine." "(HORN HONKS)" "What are you doing?" "I don't want my campaign turning into a circus!" "It's called getting your message out." "I see coffee!" "Mwah!" "How much is this gonna cost me?" "You said money was no object." " Of course it's an object!" " Put it on your credit card." "I'm kidding." "A mate did a favour." "I've got contacts, and Twitter." "And by the way, the local press are here today." "You are launching your campaign." "But..." "I haven't got a speech." "Good." "You're supposed to be listening." "Hashtag coffee with Crabb." "What's not to like?" " Everybody got a coffee?" " Vote 1 Lewis Crabb." "Look, I won't keep you long." "I'm Lewis Crabb and I'm running for Local Council." "I've got no love for politics or politicians, but I do love Nepean South." "And I can't stand by and let this egregious council run it into the ground." "I've lived in this suburb for over 10 years, so I know what affects you, and I think that if we work together, we can build a suburb that we can be proud of." "Yes, we can!" "Yes, we can!" "And if you'd like to see Mr Crabb in top flight, make sure you come to the spelling bee where you can see him separating his existentialism from his egalitarianism." "(LIGHT APPLAUSE)" "I'm not doing that spelling bee." "Your supporters out by your coffee van were clapping." "They're expecting to see you there, you know." "As a voice of the people, Lewis." "I didn't realise public office would be so public." "Oh, toughen up, tiger." "The smaller the prize, the dirtier it gets." "Hmm." "I won't be playing dirty." "Unlike you." "Does that mean you'll do it?" "Might be a few votes in it." "Do I have a choice?" " (PHONE RINGS)" " Excuse me." "Heather Looby. (SIGHS)" "Felix Digby's broken his other wrist." "Honestly, that child." "Lewis, what are you doing?" "Looby conned me into the spelling bee." "Well, you can do it." "Just meet me in my classroom after school and I'll give you a few tips." "Maybe." " You got a moment?" " I'm not going anywhere." "Okay." " So how did the treadmill test go?" " Oh..." "Let me guess." "You're all clear." " You were always so lucky." " (BANGING)" "Hey, kids, knock it off." "So how are you holding up?" "Yeah, good." "Good." "I decided that I'm not gonna let this thing define me." "You know, last night I couldn't sleep, bro." "I was just laying there, thinking about getting on the field again." "Mmm." "And I got that feeling, you know, the spark?" "I..." "I haven't felt that in months." "Yeah, let's just hope Peta doesn't let you down again." "She can't." "Not twice." " You had something to say?" " Huh?" "Oh, no." "It was nothing." "(MOANS)" "(SIGHS)" "RACHEL:" "Nick!" "Where are you, my gorgeous love god?" "(NICK SNORES)" "Come here, you." "Huh?" "(SNORES, GROANS)" " Atticus is on the PlayStation." " (SNORES)" "He can't hear a thing with those headphones on." "(GROANS) Oh, Rach." "I just need a few more minutes." "(YAWNS) Better be quick." "Just need a little nap on the couch... (SNORES)" "(SNORES)" "(FOOTSTEPS ABATE)" "If Tilda asks, don't tell her I was here." "Our secret endeavour." "Easy." "E-N-D..." "Remember chunking." "Just break it into groups of letters." "E-N-D..." "E-A-V..." "O-U-R." "Impeccable." " Thanks." " (LAUGHS)" "Oh, that as well." "Just cut it into syllables." "I-M-P-E-C-C-A-B-L-E." "See, it's perfect." "It's good." "Great work." "MARK:" "Lewis, give me your phone." "Now, I've set up a Twitter account and I need you to understand how to use it." "Show me." "Well, I want you to use it as a kind of campaign diary, but, you know, throw in a few personal observations of your own." "Like the debacle with Rafiq at the shire park?" "Hashtag debacle." "Gold Crabb." "What about 'egregious'?" "Can we use 'egregious'?" "How do you spell 'egregious'?" "Egregious, E-G..." "Let's go with 'bad'." "It's strong, it's simple." "Also there's a thing called a hashtag, which allows you to connect with other followers." "The important thing is is that they understand your tweet." "Keep them short, keep them simple." "Okay." "You have a go." "You've tweeted a cat with a bow tie." "Perfect." "GEMMA:" "Well, describe the cravings." "RACHEL:" "Constant." "It's all I think about." "One look at him and bang." "Is that weird?" "No!" "How strong are they?" "Oh, strong enough that I ended up at Mark's place." "Mark's place?" "I borrowed his tools to build flat packs." "I figured if I kept busy it'd keep my mind off things." "Well, distraction therapy definitely helps." "Is there nothing I can take?" " I'm afraid not." " Oh!" "I'm driving Nick crazy." "Clawing at him the whole time." "I feel so... desperate." "Oh, don't." "I was exactly the same." " Really?" " Poor Lewis lost a couple of kilos." "(LAUGHS)" "On the weekends, he would go fishing to get a break." "(BOTH LAUGH)" "Wakey-wakey!" "Rach!" "What are you doing?" "Why are you still napping here?" " (GROANS)" " Come up to our bed." "(SIGHS) Because if I went upstairs, you'd want to..." "Oh, I know, have sex." "I can't keep up." "It's embarrassing." "I feel like I'm rejecting you every time, but I can't." "Honestly, I can't." "I know." "I'm sorry I've been harassing you." "It's these pregnancy hormones." "Gemma's given me a few suggestions." "I will try to restrain myself to twice a day. (LAUGHS)" "(UNENTHUSIASTICALLY) Great." "Aside from that, how do you feel about fishing?" "Hmm?" "(LAUGHS) Yep." "Hey, Ange, go get the boys, okay?" "What did the doctor say?" "They want me to stay in bed for three more days." "Okay." "Well, uh, hang in there." "I gotta go, okay?" "Ah, I'll speak to you later." " All right, mate." " All right, bye." "Dad, Jacob's not getting up!" "What?" "Jacob!" "Jacob!" "Oi!" "Hey." "Oi, Jake." "Jake, it's Dad." "What's going on here?" "We were being robots, like Uncle Raf." "I unplugged Jacob and he short-circuited. (LAUGHS)" "Peta, are we still on?" "Great." "Okay, bye." "Hi!" "Could you just leave that there?" "Rafiq's in the bathroom." "Thank you." "I can have them put them back on." "No, no, there should be enough data here." "Looks good." "How good?" "I'm told perfectly normal rhythm." "(SIGHS)" " Yes!" "We're normal." " You're not." "Come here, you two." "Come here. (KISSES)" "You guys really scared me, you know that." "You have my permission to go crazy at the spelling bee." "Dead in a Rolls-Royce having overeaten again." " What?" " In case I get diarrhoea." "It's a classic spelling bee word." " It's a memory trick I learnt." " Hi!" " Hi." " Hi." "Good luck, Daddy." "I'll be fine." "As long as I don't get 'croquembouche'." "Please, Tils, anything but croquembouche." "(GIGGLES)" " Hey." " Hey." "You're trending." "The video I put up, it's getting a lot of likes." " Yeah." " So do cat videos." "Um, yeah, so anyway, I thought 'something breezy'." " Oh, same jackets then." " (BOTH LAUGH)" " Have you seen Nick?" " No." " He's probably hiding somewhere." " Sorry?" "Oh, he'll be around somewhere." " Oh." " Yeah." ""Crabb will clean up at Nepean South spelling bee." Clever." " (BOTH LAUGH)" " It's good, isn't it?" "Rachel is all over Mark." " And she's dressed like..." " Like us." "Is she checking out all of the dads?" "It's pregnancy." "It's nature's Viagra." "So the only reason she's hitting on Mark is because of hormones?" "Pretty much." "Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed judges, let the bee begin." "Your word is 'eviscerate'." "E-V-I-S-C-E-R-A-T-E." " (BANG!" ")" " Correct." "Mr Baynie, your word is 'arrhythmia'." "A-R-Y-T..." "Incorrect!" "Daddy, your word is 'frenvy'." "Um, frenvy isn't a word, darling." "Yes, it is." "I read it online." "It's jealousy of someone you like." "I'll allow it." "Frenvy." "It's obviously a portmanteau." "Uh, F-R-dash-E..." " (BANG!" ")" " Incorrect!" " But it..." " Incorrect!" "(APPLAUSE)" "Lewis Crabb. (LAUGHS)" "(APPLAUSE)" "Daddy, your word is 'profiteroles'." " Profiteroles?" " Yes." "As in, a tower of profiteroles is also known as a croquembouche." "Profiteroles..." "P-R-O..." "F-I-T-E-R..." "O-L-E-S." "Correct!" "We have a tie break, folks." "Miss Dreyfus, your word is 'tarantula'." "Ahem." "Easy." "T-A-R-A-N-T-U-L-A." "Correct." "Daddy, your word is... is... 'libarian'." "Could I have that in context, darling?" "The 'libarian' works at the library." "'Libarian'..." "L-I-B-A-R-I-A-N." "But Miss Looby, 'libarian' isn't a word." "It's pronounced 'librarian'." "Well, you did allow 'frenvy'." "Mr Crabb spelt the word he was given correctly." "We have a tie." "Our winners, folks." "Now we're to have some words of wisdom from Lewis Crabb." "Oh, I'd like to say something." "Vote 1 Lewis Crabb!" "Thank you very much, Miss Dreyfus." "Who would have thought my maiden political speech would be easier than this spelling bee." " (LAUGHTER, PHONE DINGS)" " But ladies and gentlemen, on a serious note, we have a great community spirit..." " Raf's in trouble." " here at Nepean South." "And that was on display today." "And as a community, we can achieve great things." "If you dream it, you can do it." "You and me." "Vote 1 Lewis Crabb." "Warmed up enough?" "Yep." "Let's do it." " Set." " (BLOWS WHISTLE)" "Raf, stop!" "Raf!" "Raf, wait!" "Hey!" "Hey, hear me out, please." " I'm doing this." " No, you're not." "Yeah?" "Well, then, stop me." "Oi!" "Baynie, back off." "He's in the middle of a trial!" "Stay out of it." " Mate, it's over." " Over?" " Yeah." " I've just started." "Your heart, it's serious." "What are you talking about?" "You can't keep pushing yourself like this anymore." "I'm going to." "Look, you've got your whole life to be great at something else." " But I'm great at this, Justin!" " I know." " I get it." " Okay, it's not fair." "I just want to do something that I love doing." "I know." "I get that." "Peta said that she'd take care of me." "She doesn't care about you." "All she cares about is her footy stats." "Them... they couldn't care less about how fast you run or how you kick a football." "You matter." "You matter to me." "To all of us." "Just get out of my way, bro." "MARK:" "I said I was a one-woman man." "You know, I like this new look." "Every day?" "Who doesn't love a dirty doctor?" "Maybe just for private consultations." "Want to know what all the fuss is about?" "I know what all the fuss is about." "(LAUGHS)" "(MOTORBIKE APPROACHES)" "IZZY:" "I thought it was you." "Looks perfect." "Thanks." "And thanks for being such a good sport at the spelling bee." "I owe you one." "Not at all." "It was very sweet of you." "Tilda's a lucky girl." "And Iz, I don't think I'll be taking any tests." "I reckon I'm fine the way I am." "So do I." "I'll see ya." " (LAUGHTER)" " Happy Birthday, mate." "Thank you." "Thanks." " What is that?" " It's a new low-carb boutique beer." "Boutique?" "What a crock." " Put that in your campaign material." " (LAUGHS)" "(LAUGHTER)" "Oh, Izzy." "Thought she'd be more club than pub." "Yeah, me too." "Perfect chance to win a few female votes." "Hello, ladies." " (GROANS)" " Oh, smooth." "I'm Lewis Crabb and I'm running for Local Council." "All right, I better head off." "Got to read the baby a bedtime story." " It's not even born yet." " Rachel's idea." "She reckons that it helps with early cerebral stimulation." "(MOTORBIKE ENGINE REVS)" "Excuse me for a sec." " See you, lads." " See ya." " Hey!" " (ENGINES REVS)" "It doesn't belong to you!" "Hey!" "Izzy!" "What's the go?" "Is that your bike?" " Yep." " I'll call the cops." "No, no, I don't want the police involved." "I know the guy." "I'll sort it out." "All right, well, if you're sure." "Yeah." " Is this your local?" " Ah, yeah." "I don't really come here much anymore, though." "A special occasion?" "Yeah, it's, uh... my birthday." "Oh, I didn't know." "You should have told me at school." "I don't really like all the fuss, you know." "Happy birthday, Mr Gazecki." "♪ Feel so low ♪" "Look at him." "He's like a sponge, absorbing knowledge, challenging himself." "At his age, I would have had a comic hidden in the book." "Did I tell you Izzy's identified him as a candidate for accelerated literacy studies?" "Mmm!" "I always knew he was gifted." "Izzy's confirmed it." "She's such an asset to Nepean South." " Mmm." " We're so lucky to have her." "All right, kids, time to brush your teeth." "Come on." "How you going with the meds?" "Hey, maybe you should help out with the DONS sessions, you know, check out the routines, improve them." " Pass." " Oh, come on." "What else have you got on?" "Well, something that doesn't involve me watching middle-aged dads do things that I can't do anymore." "Oh, you've been on that couch all week watching crap TV." "So?" "So it's... you know, it's time to rise." "Time to get up." "Get your body moving." "I can't." "Heart strain's a no-no, remember." "Yeah, I get that." "It's time to get up, get on with your life." "I'm here to help." "MARK:" "Vote 1 Lewis Crabb." "LEWIS:" "Vote 1 Crabb." "Surely you must have rammed one of them down all the parents throats by now." "Hey, if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing." "See you've swapped your flash cafe racer for a fixie." "Oh, it's temporary, I hope." "Catch you guys at assembly." "Allow me." "Oh, well, chivalry isn't completely lost then." "If you want to find him on Twitter, he's at 'the real Lewis Crabb'." "Oh!" "Cute handle." "I mean, really, it's great to see that you're embracing social media." "Walk the walk and all that." "Yeah." "I found an agent for our Kokoda trip." " I reckon we should lock it in." " Yeah, about that..." " Hey, you are not piking out." " You're not." "Yeah, I can't just abandon my brother." "He's a mess." "What did we do all that training for?" "We're going to Kokoda, end of story." "Yeah, I just have to play it by ear." "Good morning, parents." "We have a huge week here with all levels participating in Science Week." "(CHILDREN CHEER)" "I hate Science Week." "Abi will be in her element." "Thank you so much." "It really is a great cause." "I really appreciate it." "See you." " Hey." " Hey." " Kokoda, huh?" " Yeah." "Uh, me and the guys are going." "Oh, yeah." "I read the blurb." "Fundraising for Nepean South's music program." " It's cool." " Yeah." "I, uh..." "I want the kids to experience more cultural music." "Maybe bring in some guests or..." "Yeah, I mean, I played the sitar in India once." "I was terrible, but it was fun." "(CHUCKLES)" "Hey..." "Listen, about last night, I think we should clear the air." " Okay." " Well, you kissed me." " Guilty." " We should address it." "It was just a kiss." " Was it?" " Wasn't it?" "Well..." "I'm in a relationship and we're expecting." "I didn't know." "I'm sorry." " Now you do." " Yeah." "I guess I just wanted to feel, I don't know, connected." "Look, I really am sorry." "I should have had self-control." " What?" " Around you." "I find it hard to keep to myself." "So the emoji with the smoke coming out of his nostrils... is that good or bad?" "Well, it depends on the context." "Okay, their emoji is showing outrage, which agrees with your outrage, which means they agree with you." "Well, that's a thumbs up." "Social media can win campaigns." "So the guy with a zipper across his mouth, that means 'say nothing', right?" "That's right." "That's a thumbs up." "ANGIE:" "Why is Uncle Raf still sleeping?" "Go jump on him." " (RAF GROANS) - (ANGIE LAUGHS)" "(LAUGHS)" "I got you!" "I got you!" "Hey, are you right to watch the kids?" "I've got a DONS session." "Uh... yeah." " Yeah?" " Yeah, sure." "When will you get better, Uncle Raf?" "Dad will look after you." "He always fixes me when I'm sick." "Your dad's got Kokoda to worry about." "He's not going." "He said he'll have to stay behind to look after you." "I don't know how much I can help you if you don't listen to my advice." "Fine." "What am I doing wrong?" "Well, have a look in the mirror." "How do you see yourself?" "That's how other people will see you." "How do you clowns see me?" " You're old." " You're bossy." "You are independently wealthy, okay." "Ha." "Funny." "I mean my qualities." "Stuff that's gonna get me elected." "You've got life experience." "That's just another way of saying I'm old." "You're really good at voicing your opinion." "Sometimes a bit forcefully, though." "It's just another way of saying I'm bossy." "You're passionate." "You're passionate about Nepean South and you want to preserve what's great about it." "That's not gonna happen if I don't get elected." "You've already got our votes." "That's three." " Plus Gemma, four." " Abi." " Maybe." " What do you mean maybe?" "She's a swinging voter." "Unpredictable." "All women are unpredictable." "You need those votes if you are any chance to win this election." "IZZY:" "He's just lovely, sensitive, switched on, talented." "I've only been at Nepean South a short time, but, honestly, we clicked straight away." "It's pretty rare to find that in a school setting, you know?" "Yeah." "(LOUDLY) Nick, are you here?" "Hi." " Are you... hiding?" " No." "Just uh..." "Just looking for the... the cinnamon." " Oh." "Found it, did you?" " Yeah." " Hi." " Hi." "I didn't realise you two were together." "Yeah, uh, we're... we are... very much." "And, um... we're expecting... a baby." "Anyway, good news." "I've secured Izzy as Atticus's tutor." "Tutor?" "For what?" "Accelerated literary studies." "Remember?" "She's identified him as a candidate." "(LAUGHS) It's a bit early for all that, don't you think?" "Oh, not at all." "The earlier gifted children get the support they need, the better." "Atticus might not want that." "Young boys need scraped knees, climbing trees, instruments." "Oh, we've talked it through." " Can't wait." " Mmm." "Seems he and Izzy have quite a connection, so she'll be spending quite a bit of time with us." "Isn't that great?" "Get 'em while they're hot." "Morning, ladies." "I'm Lewis Crabb, and I'm running for council." "Here, have one of these." "All you need to know is that if I'm elected," "I will be the voice of all women in Nepean South." "You're not a woman." "No, no." "But I have wife and daughters." "And I know what you're up against." "What he means is he has a lot of empathy for all of the challenges you face here in Nepean South." "Yep, yeah, and as a stay-at-home dad," "I do a lot of the stuff that you women do." "Women have babies." "Can you do that?" "I've helped to make a few." "(LAUGHS) He's got a wicked sense of humour." "Okay, we should probably wrap this up." "We've really got to go." "I've been in the delivery room." "I mean, you know, not for all of them." "But I know what goes on." "And I delivered my own daughter's baby in the back of my car, so I know how messy it can get." "Messy?" "You want messy?" "Hey!" "LEWIS: (ON PHONE) How's your schedule looking, darl?" "Well, I'm hoping after my foot massage I might be able to get a manicure." "What about Abi, is she around?" "Lewis, what is this about?" "The campaign needs a female touch." "It's all getting a bit too blokey." "It's turning people off." "Especially the lady voters." "So you want some token females to serve coffee?" " What's wrong with that?" " How long have you got?" " Well, can you help out or not?" " No, Lewis, I can't, okay." "I'm fixing sick people." "And you shouldn't run on a pro-feminist ticket when it's not part of your true agenda." "I'm so glad I called." "Look, just be yourself, darl, all right?" "No point pretending to be anything else." "It looks like he's got an eye for the classics." "Can work with that." "Are you sure this is a good idea, given your... feelings?" "I don't know." "I mean, I might not be able to restrain myself." "You and me in the same space." "I guess I'm just gonna have to remember that I'm a professional and focus on Atticus instead of you." "ATTICUS:" "Nick." "I gotta go." "I'll see you tomorrow, champ." "Hey!" "Where's your motorbike?" "I'm riding a pushbike at the moment." "That one looks way cooler." "I've never really understood the whole motorbike thing, anyway." "Oh, it's amazing: the feeling of freedom, the adrenaline." " Why did you give it up?" " I haven't." "At least not voluntarily." " Bad break-up story." " Oh." "Yeah, my boyfriend was being possessive, which didn't work for me." "I'm not into being owned." " Wanderlust." " Exactly." "So I broke it off, but he took my bike." "Your ex is the guy that stole the bike?" " It's messy, I know." " Well, I feel for you." "I've had bad news partners." "You've got to look after yourself, even if it means fighting dirty." "Believe me, I'm prepared to do that." "Have a legal letter drawn up." "Nick will do it for you." " Hi." " Got a sec?" "Mark's picking Sophie up from creche." "Actually, I'm here to see you." "Uh, I was about to leave for work." " Won't take long." " Okay." "Come in." "Is everything all right?" "Oh, yeah." "Yeah, yeah, good as gold." "Shame I can't say the same thing about our community." "Are you here to get my vote?" "Take it easy." "Let me earn it first." "Did Mark put you up to this?" "No, this is me, your local candidate lending you my ear." "Your opinion matters, Abi." "I need to hear your concerns." "So... please." "Any thoughts at all?" " Honestly?" " Yes, you can talk to me." "Lose the 'lending the ear' line and when someone says they want to be my voice," "I kind of think 'meh'." "Oh, and the uh, the bit about the community... made me cringe." "New campaign material." "It's pink." "Yeah." "You like it?" "Thought it might appeal to women." "Well, not all women like pink." "Yeah, but most do." "Don't they?" ""I understand that mothers are not just mothers." "They're also full-time workers, drivers, cooks, cleaners, coaches, nurses." "Mothers do it all." "If elected I will consider it my job to make your lives easier in every possible way."" "Well, what are you trying to say, darl, that you understand women?" "Don't you want to be understood?" "Well, of course we do." "But saying that you understand us just makes us sound simple." "Time to get up, Raf!" "You can't be sleeping on the couch all..." "Hey, bro, I'm just helping the boys with their science project." "They're doing smells." "Oh." "Aftershave, garlic and a fart." "(FARTS) Oh!" "Silent but deadly." "The boy's a genius." "I mean, who would have thought of putting farts in a jar." "Hey, Ange." "How's your project coming along?" " Hmm?" " I'm drawing the solar system." "Yeah?" "But I can't draw it." "Will you help me, Daddy?" "What?" "Draw the solar system?" "I can try." "All right, first you've got the sun." "Okay?" "It looks a little bit like this." "It looks like a flower." "A drunk one." "Really?" "What, you can do better?" "Well, I can't do any worse." "All yours." "Enjoy yourself." " (CHUCKLES)" " Go ahead." "Hey, I've got a telescope here somewhere." " Maybe I can grab it for you." " Yeah." "Cool." "(BOTH LAUGH)" "Hey." "Here, grab this." "Now is probably not the right time to tell Angie that you failed science." "See, that's the thing about kids, though, they make you learn about stuff you normally wouldn't even care about." "I hope I get the chance one day." "Kids?" "Course you will." "I just don't know which way is up right now." "I can help." "It's that way." "Yeah, okay." "MARK:" "Oh, a science project?" "Yeah." "Poppy decided she'd like to make a stomp rocket." "Mum gave me two choices:" "it's either this or a motorised model of the pumping human heart." "With a measurable cardiac output and pulse wave velocity." "It would have been amazing." "I had it all planned out:" "the valves, the aorta, the interventricular septum." "You don't think we should be playing more of a supportive role?" "What is this if not supportive?" "Kids should make their own projects." "That's how they learn." "Oh, please." "All parents pretend their kid did the work." "In reality, everyone's giving them a hand." "Okay, Pops, let's whack some stickers on and launch this baby." "Assume launch positions." "Drum roll, please." "(SLAPPING)" "Welcome to this special preview event, a little girl's first steps towards NASA!" "No pressure then. (CHUCKLES)" "Let's hear it for the Poppy Oliver supernova stomp rocket!" "Whoo!" "Launching in ten... (ALL COUNTDOWN)" "Blast-off!" "Go again." "Okay, I think it just needs a bit more oomph." "Uh..." " Abi..." " It has to work!" "I guess this rocket's not meant to fly." "And that's the way to deal with failure." "Mwah." "With grace." "It's meant to fly." "All rockets are meant to fly!" "Let it go, Mum." "We did our best." "This was out of our control." "Tils, you like pink, don't you?" "It's okay." "I like green more." "If you got a birthday invitation that was pink, you'd still want to go, wouldn't you?" "It'd depend on whose it was." "What if it was mine?" "(LAUGHS) You wouldn't use a pink birthday invitation." "Women just want to feel valid and listened to." " Want a beer?" " No, thanks." "If we feel like you're listening and actually taking in what we're saying..." "Low-carb beer!" "Who bought this?" "I did." "Have you heard anything I've said?" "Yep." "You said you bought the beer." "(SIGHS)" "So would this be a good time for you to give me a few pointers about women?" "(SIGHS) You're on your own." "ANGIE:" "What do you know about the solar system, Uncle Rafiq?" "I know that Earth's only a small part of it and that there's also Saturn and Mars and Venus and Pluto." "Pluto's not really a planet." "Yeah, it is." "Well, I thought it was." "It used to be." "Now it's just a dwarf planet." "But it's still a planet, though, right?" "Not what scientists say." "Okay." "What are stars anyway?" "They're these little clusters of light and I'm pretty sure that they're made of gas." " Like farts." " (ALL LAUGH)" "Yeah." "Yeah, like farts." "What else is in the solar system?" "Have you heard of Science Girl?" "Uh-uh." "Who's Science Girl?" "Well, she's this awesome, butt-kicking superhero." "And she lives up in space." "Go on, have a look." "Wow!" "(LAID-BACK MUSIC)" "Good job." "Still no luck getting the motorbike back, I see." "I tried." "I went over there last night." "I said, "I mean it." "It's over."" "Then we started talking and he, well..." " Well, we..." " Oh, you didn't?" "I can't be around him." "He's like kryptonite." "Maybe I should just write-off the bike." "If you want the bike back, the law's on your side." "Isn't it, Nick?" "Well, you own the bike, so he hasn't got a leg to stand on." "Yeah, I don't want the stress of court and he knows that." "Nick will sort it out for you." "He's got a real way about him." "I don't want to get him involved." " It's fine." " He doesn't mind, do you, Nick?" "I mean, it would be really great, you know, just to prevent a fight." "I know I said that I was prepared to play dirty, but it's not really my scene." "Er, what's this guy's name and where does he live?" "He lives on Beach Street, number 21." "Name's Kyle Keogh." "Kyle Keogh?" "Have you had anything to eat?" "No, not yet." "I'll make us some food." "Man, I don't want you to miss out on Kokoda." "Hmm?" "The kids told me that you're planning on staying behind." "But I think you should do it, like you planned." "Yeah, well, plans change, you know." "I'm staying home for you, make sure you're okay." "You're amazing, offering to help Izzy out." "You offered me." "Did I?" "Oh." "Well, I suppose I did." "Anyway, it's horrible what that pig of a man's doing to her." "Yeah." "Look, there's something you should know about Izzy." "Mmm?" "I think she's got a thing for me." "Of course she does." "The question is: do you have a thing for Izzy?" "No, of course not." "Well, good." "We're all fine, then." " Morning." " Hey!" "Are you and Rachel arguing?" "If you are, I'd give up right now, mate." "You will never win an argument with a pregnant woman." "Trust me." "I know." "It's not Rachel, it's Izzy." "You know how she hasn't had her motorbike?" "Well, it turns out her jerk ex-boyfriend's got it and I've been roped into getting it back for her." "I can give you a hand, if you like." "Yeah, well, you know him." "It's Kyle Keogh." "You know Kyle, the gambling guy?" "There's no point putting yourself at risk because of somebody else's messy break-up." "Why did you volunteer anyway?" "I didn't know that it was him." "Besides, Rachel volunteered me." "Well, you better get Rachel to un-volunteer you." "I'll make sure Atticus gets to school." "Sort it out now." " Atticus." " Cheers, mate." "Quick." "Off you go." "I've been thinking." "I'm not so sure we should be getting involved in Izzy's business, 'cause she's a work colleague and it's weird." "You can't go back on your word." "Yeah, well, I'm starting to think she's a complete screwball." "Surely you can see that." "I see a highly intelligent woman who's trying to get out of a toxic relationship." "Yeah, well, if she's so intelligent, why is she not so smart when it comes to men, huh?" "I'm gonna pretend you didn't even say that." "She doesn't seem to have any self-control." "You're a fine one to talk." "What's that supposed to mean?" "Maybe the two of you are more alike than you think." "We're standing on the outside, looking at someone stuck on the inside who's trying to find their way out." "Why do we have to be the ones to save her?" "Because we can." "We can, so we should." "(SIGHS)" "(BUZZ!" ")" "MAN:" "Come on in, Nicky." "I'm here for Izzy's bike." "Yeah, I heard you two were teaching together." "Sorry, I can't help you." "Mate, holding onto a woman's bike to make her come back to you... is pathetic." "Well, see, I think it's..." "it's kind of romantic." "Just give it back." "You know, I'll give you the bike... if you come to a game this arvo." "No way." "Come on." "The pot's huge." "Everyone's in town, Mannix, Buzz." "Be like old times." "Mate, I'm not interested." "Then no bike." "Mate, Izzy owns the bike." "You could be done for theft." "Izzy won't charge me, mate." "I've got her right where I want her." "Let me know, Nick." "(CHILDREN SHOUT)" "That's not a happy face." "Listen, you said your ex isn't dangerous, but he is." "He gets off on exploiting people's weaknesses." "Sounds like you know him." "Yeah, I used to be in that world." "That makes a lot of sense." "I'm not normally into strait-laced guys, but you popped onto my radar straight away." "Listen, I'll get your bike back." "But after that, I'd advise you to stay clear away from him." "I'm not going back to him!" "I'm serious." "It's over for real this time." "I want someone more reliable." "Well, don't look at me." "(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)" "Uh, Atticus left his book bag at home." " Ah." " Great." "Thanks." "Everything okay here?" "Yeah, fine." "(SIGHS)" "G'day, mate." "I'm Lewis Crabb and I'm running for Local Council." "Yeah, help yourself." "Take a flyer." "Or not." "Who's this handsome unit?" "Hey, aren't you that guy running for council?" "Oh, I've heard about you." "You're just what Nepean South needs." "About time we had someone worth electing." "Someone who understands the modern family." "Can you tell us a bit more about yourself?" "Yeah, a bit more about..." "Lewis Crabb." "Well, I'm just a dad who wants to preserve the things that make Nepean South great." "How does that make you any different from anyone else in the upcoming election?" "I'm not just a dad." "I'm a concerned resident." " Sounds like a line." " Mmm." "It's not a line." "I'm concerned this place is going to the dogs." " And you want to change that?" " Damn right I do." "How?" "I want accessible parking." "I want more bike trails." "I want better exercise equipment in the parks." "I want..." "I want better playgrounds." "I want clean beaches." "I want clean streets." "You've got quite the fire in your belly." "I don't think I've ever met a councillor like you before." "Nepean South matters." "I'm passionate about that." "(MUMBLES) And I'm ready to listen." "And I'm here to listen." "Don't forget to kiss the babies!" "(BABY COOS)" "Yeah, that's him." "Look, Lewis Crabb!" "It's nice to meet you." "(LAID-BACK MUSIC)" "Wondering if you have a minute." "Of course." "I mean, if it's about Atticus, he is doing brilliantly." "It's not about Atticus." "Izzy, I'm glad we're getting to know you and I'm glad that Nick can help with your... situation." "Me too." "I mean, I really appreciate it." "He's that kind of guy, loves helping people." "And I'm fine with that." "As long as those people don't mistake his kindness for something else." " I'll respect that." " Good." "I knew you would." "NICK:" "Hi there." " See you later." " JUSTIN:" "See ya." " Bye." " Bye." "Looks like Izzy's embraced her new mode of transport." " Stepped aside, have you?" " Stepped aside from what?" "Izzy's ex stole her motorcycle." "Rachel volunteered Nick to get it back." "Call the cops?" "I can't." "It's more complicated than that." "Her ex is Kyle Keogh." "Well, he's got Izzy and me both over a barrel." "Only if he gets you back to the poker table." "Look, I can't move forward until I cross him off the list." "I need to win this." "Well, if you insist." "I reckon it's one in, all in." "Well, we need a plan." "MARK:" "Well, you've gotta love online real estate listings." "A full floor plan of Kyle's place." "NICK:" "Nice work!" "Which way's the front?" "I'm not sure if that's up or down." "You're the builder." "Can you make sense of this?" "Look, I've been there before." "That's the way in." "There's a security fence around here." "That's the garage there." "Do you think that's where the bike will be?" "No, it'll be in the fridge." "There'll be cameras everywhere." "He'll see us for sure." "Not if he's distracted." "Kyle, it's Nick." " (WHISPERS) Ask him about the bike..." " Shh!" "So..." "I thought about your offer and I'm gonna play." "KYLE:" "I knew you couldn't stay away." "Don't be late." "Great." "I'll bring the snacks." "Snacks?" "Really?" "Yeah, I always bring snacks." "Are you sure you can handle this card game?" "It's all in the timing." "Just follow my lead." "In and out in three minutes." " Off to training." " Again?" "Yeah, it's just a run." "A long one, though." "Might be a while." " How long are we talking?" " Oh, a couple of hours." "Time to test the limits." "Get the pins ready for the trail."
