Its early afternoon in Sageway and Paul & Garth talk:
"I need to get a job don't I. I really don't want to."
"Garth, its how the rest of us live. You can't keep taking out loans, they're gonna all catch you up soon."
"I know but I'm not qualified to do anything!"
You must have had jobs when you were younger."
"Not really Paul, I dabbled with a few shares here and there but I just married Penelope, she had money so neither of us have had to worry about it."
"I'll help you find something Garth, there's gotta be something you can do!! That damn phone, can you get it this time."

"Hello?....Hello?? Roxy...is this you.....bad line....??? God Damn It!"

"Was it?"
"Yep...Paul, we're gonna have to do something about this...they're not giving up."
"I know, I'll give the phone sims a call...maybe go ex directory...its a pain in the ass though, why don't they just give up?"
"That's kids for you! So...what am I going to do about this job thingy?"

At the Dixon's Dee's in for a shock:
"OH MY GOD! Gran....what on earth!"

"Ta Daaa. What do you think?"
"Errrrr"
"Come on its great dear isn't it! I was looking on the internet for inspiration.....its a rinse dear...a pink rinse!"
"Yeah, I can see that! Gran...err, what are those?"
"These....oh well with my new hair I thought some nice young clothes as well. I like it don't you dear?"
"Well, err...I dont know what to say....how long have you been home?"
"I've only just go back dear."
"You mean, you didnt, you went out in public like that!"

"Mother!! What have you done!?"
"Hello Penelope dear, its my new, positive, young look! I tell you what, that fire really gave me something to think about...I need more, now what do they say these days...get up and go."
"Well, yes, I think you've achieved that...how longs this new look for?"
"Well I was thinking I could have a blue rinse next, then a purple, oh there's all the colours of the rainbow, we'll have such fun Penelope."

At the Heppal's Tom's playing with his new game:
"This is soo cool, so, she can wear this....yeah, blonde hair...."

"Tom...do you want to go and get your present then..."
"Naa, I'm ok Dad..."
"Oh what's this then?"
"Oh, Daniel got me these...look at this game , its soo cool, I could play on it for hours."
"So who got you the car?"
"I told you, Daniel...now come on, look at this game."

"Daniel got you both!"
"Yeah, I told you already!"
"Well that's very nice of him....its a very expensive gift...."
"Dad, he's my best friend...at least he remembered...now look at this car, its great isn't it! It goes at 4 speeds, and you can play inside or out...."
"Tom, I am sorry I forgot."
"Its ok, I've got these now...that's all that counts."
"So you want to go get a present?"
"No! I told you, I got these now...lets play with them...come on..."

At Cathy's Jen arrives:
"Hi guys, how you doing?"
"Oh Jen, hi, your not working then?"
"I'm just about to start, thought I'd pop in say hi.."
"Sangeev, don't keep her here standing up...Jen come on, into the office."

"So is everything alright Jen, looking after our little one ok? Here take a seat, you musn't stand up to much."
"Cathy, I'm ok, really. I'm only just pregnant so I'll be fine.."
"I know, but we want to make all the necessary precautions don't we! Now come on, sit down.."
"I don't want to! Cathy I'm fine...I've done this twice before you know!"
"Ohh"
"I'm sorry Cathy, I didn't mean...I know you're excited...must be the hormone's, making me snappy."

"Don't listen to her Jen, we're just excited about the baby!"
"Sangeev!"
"Sorry Cathy, but Jen know's what to do. Ok so Jen, how is everything? How'd the boys take it?"
"Well Jason's great, very supportive. Max, I'm having problems with, he doesn't like it at all."
"Oh why?"
"I think he just can't see that I'm helping out good friends...he doesn't think it should be my body. He'll come round."
"Do you want me to have a word?"
"Oh, no, no, it'll be fine and it might just make things worse. He'll be alright, we've just got to let it sink in. Look guys, I've gotta start my shift but I'll pop by after ok."
"Alright then, take it easy.."
"I will Cathy, I will don't worry. See you later."

At the Heppals Geoff calls Pen:
"Hi Pen, listen, thankyou so much for Tom's presents but you really didn't have to. I know that money's tight at the moment."
"Oh Geoff, sure, it wasn't a problem. I mean Daniel and Tom are such good friends and Daniel really wanted to buy him that car so I gave in."
"You didn't have to get the games console aswell though! Thats very expensive."
"Games console? No Geoff, we only bought him the car."
"Oh, ok, sorry. Well thankyou very much for the car, I'm sure Tom will stop by and thankyou too."
"He did Geoff, when he came to pick it up."
"Oh well, I guess I'll see you later."
"Ok Geoff, bye.."

"Daniel...you did only buy Tom the remote controlled car didn't you?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Oh nothing, I think Geoff's just got his wirse crossed. Ok, so we all need to talk."

"So we need to talk about the kitchen. And before you say anything Daniel, don't feel guilty, It was an unfortunate accident, and if its anyones fault its mine...I shouldn't have left you alone."
"But I'm so sorry....I didn't mean anything, I was trying to make muffins for Gran."
"Oh thats nice dear! Now your a bit older , I'll show you how to make them properly.."
"Well Mother, that'll have to wait until we get a new kitchen! Now I'm worried that we won't be able to afford a kitchen like last time and we still have the builders from the granny flat to pay so what I'm suggesting is with the money from the insurance we pay the builders and then get a cheap and cheerful kitchen."

"Are we allowed to do that dear? I thought the insurance money would only be for a kitchen."
"Well, its our money! That's what we buy insurance for!! We'll spend it how we want. So, is that alright with everyone?"
"Yeah fine Mum."
"Ok, next thing is...does anyone know if Marc Martin's firm does kitchens? I have a feeling they do."
"I ask Laura, Harry'll know..."
"Brilliant, right, who's for pizza?"

At Pauls there's a knock at the door:
"Hello?"
"Hi there, how are you?"
"I'm, umm fine...how can I help?"

"Oh yeah, is Sydney Marshall here?"
"Yeah, hang on....SYDNEY.......YOU'VE GOT A VISITOR"

"Paul...who is it.........................ADELAIDE!"
"Yeah, Hi Mum."
