(gentle music) - [Narrator] Previously on "McLeod's Daughters."

- You shouldn't have kissed me like that.

(gentle bright music) - How should I have kissed you?

I see, not at all.

Did you see Peter leave?

- Didn't know he was here in the first place.

(gentle upbeat music) (bright music) (birds chirping) (Claire sighing) (telephone ringing) - [Peter] Peter Johnson here.

- Hi, Peter, it's Claire, I just- - [Peter] I'm sorry, I'm not here to take your call.

Please leave your name and your number and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

(voicemail beeps) - Ah, Peter, it's Claire.

I just, um, I wanted to talk to you about Brave J.

He's showing real promise and I think he could be something special, but it would be good if you could see him for yourself.

And ah, oh and I sent you my invoice.

Ah, maybe you could bring the check over with you?

Because it's a bit late.

Right, well, you've got my number.

(phone beeps) (gentle upbeat music) ♪ Baby's comin' by ♪ ♪ Baby's comin' by ♪ - Careful, Dad marks the levels.

- It's crazy, I feel like a teenager being left alone in the house with no grown ups.

(both chuckle) Where's your beer?

- Uh, I can drink wine.

I thought you, uh, might like this drop.

- Oh, thanks.

- Hmm, yeah, it's uh, it's one of Mum's favorites.

- Mm, bet she was thrilled about you inviting me over here.

- So, um?

- [Tess] Hmm?

- [Alex] We've got the house to ourselves tonight, Tess.

- [Tess] Mm?

- So what would you like to do?

- Maybe have a bath?

- You look pretty clean.

And you smell nice too, Tess, but if you want- - And I was thinking I might get a bit lonely in that big bathtub.

- Oh, (chuckles) well come to think of it, I wouldn't mind having a bath either.

(Tess laughs) (doorbell chiming) - Alex, (laughing) the door.

- [Alex] Hey.

(car engine rumbling) - [Tess] Alex?

(gentle bright music) - "Sorry, Alex, all yours."

What do you mean tomorrow?

What do you mean tomorrow, sergeant?

What am I supposed to do?

- Need all these stuff, don't you, so I can.

(baby screaming drowns out speech) Sh, oh, sh, it's all right, there you are.

- [Alex] Thanks a lot, mate, bye.

- Sh, it's all right.

- I can't get a social worker out here 'til tomorrow.

- Sh, it's all right.

- You know that new guy, what's his name, Frank, the constable, he's not coming.

- Well, the police can't ignore this.

- You know what he reckons?

The baby couldn't be in better hands for now.

Guy's a tosser.

- Yeah, but what about the mother?

You know, I mean, she must be freaked out to do something like this.

- Yeah, whoever she is.

(gentle music) - Oh, I love that baby smell.

- What?

- You know, it kinda smells like vanilla.

Here, have a smell.

- Nah, that's okay.

(baby chortling) What do you reckon, it's five, six months old?

Add nine, well, there's a, there's a couple of possibilities.

Oh, what, Tess?

You never hear of one relationship ending and another one beginning?

- There, there, it's all right.

Sh, it'll be all right.

- Good, good, you do that.

I'm gonna make a couple of calls.

- Oh right, I'm the woman, so I'm the baby expert, am I?

- You wanna phone my ex-girlfriends and their families?

Yeah, no, I didn't think so.

(baby sighing) - Sh.

(gentle music) - Oh, yuck.

- Little buggers.

We haven't had a problem with rabbits for ages.

- Oh, there's probably a new one or two.

- You ignore one or two tonight and you've got 20 in the morning.

This is all useless, we're gonna have to have tinned.

- I like canned stuff.

- Yeah, well don't forget to fan out the beetroot, Mum.

- Compost.

- All right.

- You want some help?

- We've got a problem with the rabbits.

I've got some stuff for baits.

I'll put it out tonight.

Have you rung him yet?

- Who?

- Peter.

- Oh, yeah.

Got the machine, I hate those things, never know what to say.

- Yeah, always difficult.

Especially after he's kissed you.

- Thanks, Tess.

- You ever heard the expression a man chases a woman until she catches him?

(bright music) Why don't you give him another call?

Only this time, try sounding less like his business partner and more like the woman he kissed.

- [Alex] I'm just asking if it was yours.

(baby crying) - I'm coming, I know you're hungry, I won't be long, just sh, quiet.

Here we are.

Okay, here we go.

Sh, oh yes, here we go.

- They both carry on like I was insulting them.

- Okay, here we go.

- Tess, you're spilling it.

Why don't you sit down?

- Well I, maybe, you sit down.

- Me?

- Go on, Alex, sit down.

- Oh, get away, I can't do this.

- Just try, please.

(gentle music) Be careful.

- Yeah, yeah.

- It's all right, here's the bottle.

- Oh, look, he doesn't want it, here.

- Oh, big effort, Alex.

- Oh, this ah, this kid doesn't smell like vanilla, Tess.

Here, you take it.

I better make a phone call.

- Hi, Peter, it's me again.

I was really hoping you can make it over because the truth is, I really miss you, and I was hoping we could talk about that, ciao.

Ciao?

No.

(playful upbeat music) (telephone ringing) - [Peter] Peter Johnson.

Hello?

Peter Johnson.

- (gasps) What is wrong with you?

(phone ringing) Claire McLeod.

- [Peter] Hi, Claire?

It's Peter Johnson.

- Hi.

- Ah, listen, did you just call me?

- Me, no.

Oh, I rang you earlier and left a message.

- Yeah, I got that.

Look, I'm around your way tomorrow.

- Tomorrow's good.

- [Peter] I'll stay, if that's okay.

- Staying over's good.

- Yeah, there are are some things that need to be said.

Claire?

- Yeah, I'm here.

I agree, there are some things to say.

(baby squealing) - So he's a boy.

- I'll say.

Can you get rid of that?

- I think we should burn it.

You think now that he's got rid of that load, he might wanna go to sleep?

- Can you pass me the cream?

Ooh, that's mine.

- [Alex] Shouldn't you powder a baby?

Shouldn't you use powder?

- No, he's got nappy rash, that's what the cream's for, here.

There we are.

- But why don't you just pop him in the thingy there and ah, you know, let him go to sleep?

I mean, he'll sleep eventually, won't he?

- He's upset, Alex, and frightened.

He's probably wondering where his mum is.

What would you do?

- Have a beer.

- Oh yeah, that's brilliant.

- [Alex] Oh, I don't know, Tess.

- Well, I don't know either.

(gentle bright music) (bird chirping) - [Meg] They've had a go at everything except the baited carrots.

- Clever little bunny.

- [Meg] Any luck?

- Well, the warren's in Bald Hill paddock, there are rabbits everywhere.

- [Meg] Right, that's it, we're going out to that paddock to rip up those warrens.

- Do we have to, I've already been out once.

- [Meg] Right now, no point in putting it off.

The sooner we get to them, the sooner there'll be no more rabbits.

(baby crying) - Sh, sh, sh.

Alex?

Sh, Alex.

- [Alex] Mm?

- It's your turn.

- Daylight.

(groans) What is wrong with that kid?

- At least one of us got some sleep.

Here, sh.

- Sh, sh, five minutes.

I dropped off for five minutes.

- It was two hours.

- [Alex] Why didn't you wake me?

- Two hours you've been asleep and I've been walking up and down with someone else's child.

- All right, yeah.

You turning that one over in your head all night, haven't you?

- Well, I just don't know what to do.

- Oh right, you wanna know where you came in the queue, is that it?

- Oh, don't be so juvenile.

- Don't, look, I wish I could tell you who the mother is, Tess, you know?

Maybe it's some other candidate, maybe some party I forgot.

- Yes, spare me the details, you big idiot.

- What do you want from me?

We're stuck with this thing.

(baby crying) Sh, sh.

(soft dramatic music) Where you going?

- Back to Drovers, I've got work to do.

- [Alex] Tess, you can't leave me with this.

- This is not my life, Alex.

- You're tired, you know, I'm tired, we're both tired.

- Of course, I'm tired.

I'm angry because you've got a baby and you don't know who the mother is and I can't stop it crying and I wish I could, and maybe if it was mine, but it's, but it's not.

- Tess, Tess, I'm begging you, please, please.

- I'm just not ready for this.

(baby screaming) - Yeah, a bit more, Meg.

Bit to your right, yeah, that's the way.

Come on, yeah, a bit more, come on.

Yeah, a bit more, Meg.

(energetic upbeat music) (dog barking) Roy, get back, get back in the Ute.

Roy, get back, good boy.

- I got your note, where do I start?

- Well, we've marked the warren for Meg.

She's gonna come and rip up all the burrows.

We go over any edges with the spade.

No homes, no bunnies.

- Right, I might get back and do the sheds, now that Tess is here, huh?

- All right, you can take Oscar.

- You know, you don't look too good, Tess.

Must have been some night.

(bright music) - [Claire] You know, I would've put money on you having a problem with this.

- No, getting rid of fornicating pests is quite appealing this morning.

- Mate, there's no proof I am the father, all right?

- Why would anyone dump the kid here if you weren't?

We've gotta find the mother.

- I don't know who she is, all right?

- Oh right.

- Look, I phoned a couple of ex-girlfriends, all right?

No one's putting their hand up.

- You obviously do some things better than you play pool.

- Look, can't you just find someone local to look after him?

- I'd have to, if the kid was at risk.

I reckon you're doing a great job.

Take another look.

Got your nose, for sure.

(gentle bright music) - Well, bound to happen sooner or later, I suppose.

- [Alex] What's that supposed to mean?

- Law of averages.

- Nick, I can't even be sure it's mine, mate.

- It's got your nose.

(phone ringing) (baby laughing) Hey, hey, that's the boy, let it out, hey.

Hey, hello, g'day, mate.

I'm your Uncle Nick, hey?

Sh.

Have you phoned a lawyer yet?

- I can't think of anyone to sue.

- The shoe's on the other foot now, isn't it?

- What do you mean?

- If whoever she is decides to hit you with a paternity suit, it could be serious, Alex.

- What?

- Boris Becker reckons 30 seconds in a closet cost cost him six million dollars.

- Where'd that come from?

- [Alex] Long story, Brick, don't ask.

- Oh, the poor kid needs changing.

- Yeah, of course he wants changing, it's the only hobby the kid's got.

Here, be my guest, Brick.

- [Brick] Hey, aw.

- You know what you're doing?

- When you're the oldest in a big family, oh.

- It's a whole new world.

- Sure is.

- [Brick] Powder?

- Tess said cream, not powder.

- Where is she?

- Gone home.

- There you go.

Well, don't forget to make sure his John Thomas is pointing south and not north.

Otherwise, (chuckles) when you're holding him and he takes a leak, you might get a nasty surprise.

- Obvious when you think about it.

- Nice work, Brick, nice work.

- Come here, mate.

There you go.

- How's that, little buddy?

Feeling lighter?

- He's got your, um.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(gentle bright music) - Well, we're almost done here.

Might head back and organize lunch.

- [Tess] Okay.

- Peter's coming over.

- Really?

- Yeah, checking up on Brave J. I think he was seeing Tracy Denim or Carol Matthews.

- No, not them, who else?

- I don't know, Alex doesn't keep me up to date with his love life.

- [Tess] I don't think it had much to do with love, do you?

- [Claire] Did I give you my keys?

- No.

- Why didn't I leave them in the ignition?

(groans) Where are the damn keys?

- [Tess] They'll turn up eventually.

(gentle bright music) (Claire groans) - (exclaims) Looks like we've done a big end.

- All the blocks cracked?

- You hear that, Rog?

Looks like the motor's stuffed.

So what we're gonna have to do is, we're gonna have to pull it apart, check it all out, then clean all the bits and put it back together again.

You got that?

- Rog?

- Roger.

- I thought you didn't know his name.

- I don't, but he looks like a Roger to me, hey?

Hey, what are you think?

Aw, what's wrong, buddy?

What's wrong?

Why do you think your mum never told me about you, huh?

Yeah, probably didn't think I'd take responsibility, didn't think I could handle it, huh?

But I can, can't I, mate, yeah.

- Here, Roy, Roy, come on.

Oh, God, I'm gonna have to have a wash. - Yeah, you stink too, in case you were wondering.

- I do too, rabbit poo.

I didn't realize it was just a stinky.

(gentle bright music) - [Peter] Busy day?

- The keys were, all I could do was.

I'll be right with you.

- Okay, Bugsy, lets see how you and your mates survive this lot.

What are you doing?

- [Becky] Thought you wanted to catch rabbits.

- That's why I baited the oats.

- They didn't work last time, I thought we could give this a go.

- Well, put some of this in there, that way it gets caught and it gets dead.

- Well, they might not like oats either.

Use the silver beet, they like that.

- They certainly did.

- You might not have dead rabbits, but at least you will have caught 'em.

- Good thinking.

Put some more in.

Thanks, Becky.

- [Becky] Not a problem.

(gentle upbeat music) - [Claire] Sorry about the delay.

- Ah well, you can't help bad luck.

- I could've walked home, or sprinted.

- [Peter] Really?

- (laughs) You wanted to tell me something.

- Yes.

- Me too.

- After you.

- A bit hard, really.

(car horn honking) - [Alex] Claire, I need help, Claire.

- [Claire] What's wrong?

(baby screaming) - The baby, he's sick.

He's running a temperature, he's been throwing up.

He's burning up, Claire.

- Okay, Meg, Meg'll know what to do.

In the kitchen, go in the kitchen.

Sorry, this won't take long.

- No problem.

- Ooh, ah, it's not mine.

- [Claire] Tell Meg what you think's wrong.

- He wasn't sick when I left.

- He's just hot and vomiting.

(all chattering) Easy with that arm, easy with that arm.

- Ooh, yeah, ooh, he's quite warm, feel that?

- What do you mean he's burning up?

He's upset.

- No, he's okay.

- Maybe we should get him a drink.

- No, you don't wanna feed him.

- Well, how do you know?

- What do you reckon, mate?

- What makes you think that I'd know anything?

- Well, you know, everyone else here is an expert.

- It's okay.

- I think I'll give Brave J a workout.

- Yeah, right oh.

- I think a tepid bath might do the trick.

- [Claire and Becky] I'll do it.

- Oh no, oi, listen, I'll do it, all right.

How's that buddy, is that feeling better?

Yeah, who's a handsome little fellow?

Yeah, you are.

(gentle music) I said I can do it, Claire, I can do it.

- You probably need the practice anyway.

- Meaning?

- Who knows how many of these you got around the place?

- Sh, don't listen to the nasty lady, Rog.

- Well, you're doing something right.

You're looking good, aren't you, mate?

- Yeah, yeah, he's feeling cooler.

I reckon his temperature must be coming down.

He's got my nose, did you know that, see?

- What do you think about this?

(baby cooing) - Yeah, oh yeah.

I don't know.

- Bit of a shock?

- Yeah.

Think I'm getting the handle on it.

- [Jodi] You know I never pictured Alex as a dad before.

- Yeah, neither did he.

- It's different for you, Tess.

Can imagine why you've gone off him.

- Who says I have?

- You did, you told Claire it was a horrible night.

- No, what I meant was that we had this baby to look after and neither of us knew what we were doing so things got a bit.

- So?

- So sometimes you end up saying things that, when you're stressed out, that you don't actually mean.

- So you're not dumping him then?

- No.

- You guys are so different, you know, anyone can tell that you- - Alex can change, it'll be a learning curve for both of us.

- Use the baby thermometer and if his temperature goes up, just call the doctor.

- I'm gonna do that anyway, Meg.

- Don't be a hero, if you get into trouble, use the phone.

- Right oh, thanks, you're a champ.

- [Meg] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- [Claire] So what are you gonna do?

- [Alex] Well, I'm gonna find his mother, find out what's going on, and whatever happens, I'm gonna do the right thing by my son.

- Good on you, mate.

Peter, sorry.

- [Peter] No, no, you're still busy.

- [Claire] No, no, it's okay.

- See that bloke there, Rog?

Now that's what we call a knob, all right?

Now, a knob is a bloke that's a bit up himself.

You got that?

Good.

Don't say I never taught you nothing.

- Look, I owe you a major apology.

- Claire.

- No, I do.

Your time is valuable and I asked you to come over here and we've got keys down rabbit holes and neighbors with sick kids.

And you're stuck with the mad McLeods.

- Claire, we really need to talk.

- Okay.

- Last time we were together, I kissed you.

I wanna apologize.

- You don't have to.

- It was a mistake.

- Oh.

- Look, I know it wasn't planned and that's no excuse, but it's a really bad way to ruin a good business relationship.

- It is?

- You just don't mix business and pleasure.

Look, sorry, that didn't come out exactly how I wanted it to sound.

- No, no, no, it's great that you said what you did because as a matter of fact, that's what I was gonna say to you.

- It was?

- Yeah.

'Cause, I mean, how would it look, me getting it off with the boss?

- [Peter] Not good.

- [Claire] No.

And this job means everything to me.

This is my thing, you know.

So I'm glad we got that all sorted out.

- Yeah.

Yeah, me too.

So Brave J, he's doing well.

- Yeah, still overreaches a bit.

- Yeah, yeah, I noticed.

- Yeah, I'm just worried about what sort of mental state she might be in, that's all.

- The fluffy little bunny rabbit.

- [Alex] Yeah, well keep me posted.

- Big watch, smiled at the little girl and said, "I'm late, I'm late for a very important date."

Guess what happened then, huh, hm?

Sh, guess what happened then.

Alex?

- [Alex] I gotta go, yeah.

- [Nick] Roger's moving the mail again, mate.

- Yeah, no problem.

Hey, good boy, Rog, good boy.

- [Nick] Little stinker.

- No, he's not.

He's a growing boy, here you go, stinker.

Oh, look at that.

Good boy, all good.

Poor kid's been circumcised.

I'm snaky about that, you know.

- It's a small point considering his mum never told you he existed.

- You get circumcised and see if that's a small point.

Parents should agree about that sort of thing.

Shouldn't they, Rog?

- His temperature hasn't gone up again, has it?

- No, temperature's good.

- He could be teething, you know.

- Well, he's got some teeth.

- It's just lambs and hoggets, he's getting his new ones.

I want lots of kids.

But mind you, something you both gotta want.

Otherwise, check with the Mrs. first.

- Yeah, there you go, buddy.

You can make some more now.

- Little fellow.

(gentle bright music) - [Meg] Where you going?

- I'm just gonna go and get rid of him.

- No need, there's a recipe with this guy's name on it.

Flakey pastry, dumplings, decent gravy.

- I don't like rabbit pie.

- That's all right, you can always have some leftover apricot chicken.

- Using splint boots.

- [Peter] Good idea.

- Yeah, I always like using the boots that fit with Velcro instead of buckles.

- Look, I'll do this one, if you like.

- Thanks.

(Velcro ripping) - Yeah, I see what you mean about those boots.

- That one could be a bit tighter.

- Sorry.

- Oh.

(groaning) - Are you all right?

- I'm fine.

- Sorry, again.

- It's all right.

Well, I reckon we can start trailing him in about four months.

- Yeah, yeah, that sounds about right to me.

(keyboard clicking) (baby grunting) - It's funny, isn't it?

- What is?

- You put a baby anywhere and it's like it becomes the hub of a wheel.

- (chuckles) Yeah.

Brick and his baker's dozen.

- [Nick] Big family doesn't appeal to you?

- Tell you what, Nick, I'd be satisfied if I could make a success of this one.

- I can't wait to see Dad's face.

- Well, he's not having a say in it.

- [Nick] Yeah, that'll be interesting.

- Don't worry, little buddy.

I'm not gonna rub your nose in every mistake you make, hey.

Is that why we have kids, you reckon?

- So we can make up for everything we copped from our own parents?

- Nah, but just because he's a Ryan doesn't mean he has to go through all the rubbish we went through.

- So no manipulation, hey?

- No lies.

- And no boxing lessons for a start.

- Hey, hang on, the boy's gotta learn how to box.

Look at the hands on him.

- I hated it, no one ever gave me a choice.

- Well, Rog gets to choose.

Hey, but you should box, buddy.

Look at those big clubs, hey?

Look at little clubs you got.

- [Nick] Look at the size of them.

- [Sergeant] Gents.

- Sergeant.

- I'll put you out of your misery, I found his mum.

- Oh, good, yeah, great.

(solemn music) Annie Morgan, Annie?

- She looks like she's had a rough time.

Bit of post-natal depression, I'd say.

- Annie?

- Didn't you go out with her like three years ago?

- At least.

- The, ah, father's George Ridley.

Moves around a bit with his work.

- Is that right?

Well, that's great for Roger, isn't it?

- Heath.

- Heath, what sort of poncy name is that?

- [Sergeant] Annie thinks you're a real sweetie, to use her words.

And she knew you had staff here, so.

- Oh, so she's off holidaying around the countryside, is that it?

- She had to leave the baby with a friend.

Get away for a while.

Track George down and have it out with him.

- She could've just asked me.

- Yeah, and what would you have said two days ago?

- So, Annie, you think she's gonna be all right now?

- I'll stay in touch with her.

I think George has got the message which should help.

- Good, right, well, I'm glad we got that sorted out.

It's been a real pain in the backside.

- Yeah, I bet it has.

- [Alex] Put us right behind in our work.

- It's not his, mate.

- [Sergeant] Me too.

- Here we go, mate.

Do this up for you.

Here we go.

Hey, how's that?

You play with that?

You might wanna, you might wanna tell Annie that he's teething.

I mean, she might not realize.

(solemn music) Goodbye, little man, goodbye.

- Did you see my rabbit?

- [Jodi] No.

- It was right there.

It was in a trap.

- It wasn't here when I came out.

Do you know acrylic nails take an hour to put on?

They look great though.

- [Meg] I thought so.

(somber music) - Please, Meg, stop, don't.

- It's a rabbit, it's vermin and it's delicious.

- Meg, you can't do this.

He's, I mean, they're not always vermin, sometimes they're pets.

I had one when I was a little kid and I raised him from a kitten, he was my baby.

And then one night by dad took him outside and he killed him.

He strangled his little neck.

And it was horrible.

- You can't save them all, Beck.

- I know, but can I save this one?

- If it gets out and finds its way into my veggie patch, I swear I'll get rid of it.

- Thank you.

(horse hooves thudding) - What's up?

- Uh, saddle slipped, girth's a bit loose.

- You need a hand?

- No, I'm all right, thanks.

- You got him fit and there's no question about the natural talent.

He's a prospect.

- You want me to change anything?

- No, you know your business.

(somber music) - How's Roger?

- Heath, he's gone back home with his mum.

- Oh.

- Yeah, turns out he wasn't mine after all that.

- I was um, I was gonna come over later and apologize.

Big idiot was a bit strong.

- Tess, I don't blame you for nicking off.

I mean, I feel bad.

I mean, you never got to have your bath.

- I just wanted to- - We gotta- - This is a bit hard.

- I mean, if we- You go, I'm sure you're gonna be much better at this than me.

- Hang on.

(solemn music) You're um, you're a really nice guy, Alex.

You're a, you're funny.

And you're, um, you're strong, tall.

- And ah, you're pretty.

You're one of the prettiest girls I've ever been out with, Tess.

And you're, (chuckles) you're funny.

And you're, you know, short.

- It's not working, is it?

- No.

I don't drink enough cappuccinos.

(Tess laughs) - I talk too much, I'm really sorry.

- Yeah, me too.

It was really great, Tess.

- Yeah, it was.

We can still be friends though, can't we?

I mean, you know, I'd hate it if we weren't.

- Of course.

(solemn music continues) You know, I always stay mates with my ex-girlfriends.

Gotcha.

(both laughing) - Yeah.

Thank you.

- Hey there, beautiful.

There you go, good, you're healthy, aren't you?

You're so lovely, you're not a pest.

Yeah?

You're so sweet.

- Alex and I broke up.

- You're okay with that?

- Yep.

Yeah.

- Peter wants to keep our relationship strictly business.

- You okay with that?

- Yep.

Yeah.

Who needs them?

- Who needs them?

- So, Tess, did Alex come around again today?

I thought I saw his Ute leaving.

- Baby wasn't his after all.

- Really, whose was it?

- I don't know.

- What, you didn't ask?

- No.

- I thought we were having rabbit pie.

- Sorry, it didn't work out.

- Yeah, well, the joke's on us, we're the ones eating the rabbit food.

- If you don't mind, I might eat mine in my room.

- (sighs) Poor Alex.

- What?

- Well, you could tell he really wanted that baby to be his.

I mean, he must be so heart-broken.

- I'm not feeling that hungry, no offense, Meg.

- Well, it looks like there's plenty of seconds for anyone that's interested.

Sometimes you have all the sensitivity of a Besser Block.

- What'd I say?

(clock chiming) - Oh, um, I almost forgot.

Your check.

- Thanks.

Maybe an early night would be a good idea.

Got a lot to do, gotta earn this.

Night.

(somber music) - Night.

Oh, sorry, um.

- [Claire] It's polite to knock.

- Yeah, well, I thought you might have been in bed.

- [Claire] I'm about to be.

- Look, about today, what I said, the personal and the business thing.

I didn't mean it to sound so cold-blooded.

- It didn't, it didn't.

- Because if you don't keep 'em separate, you know, something goes to hell, it's either your personal life or your business relationship.

- I agree, I think you're right.

I quit.

- You're sacked.

(romantic music) - That's my dad's room.

- My room then.

- (laughs) That's the store room.

(engine rumbling) (gentle bright music) - [Becky] You sure this is okay?

- One bunny's not a problem.

My kid brother's good with pets.

- Everyone else thinks I'm nuts.

- We've all gotta care about something.

- Thanks, Brett.

- It's all right.
