And gave Himself away.

As he has called Tom and Mary to marriage..

So he draws their different gifts and hopes..

Into the unity of love and service.

Relax, it'll be your turn next.

Yeah?

Many good things about being married.

You're the one to blame for this, aren't you?

I thought you were supposed to praise

the fairy godmother.

Not blame them.

Yeah, don't wave your f***ing wand over me.

Hello.

Nice to see you again.

You look lovely.

Hi, can I get a champagne?

Thank you.

Hey, hey..

Are you alright?

Fine, why?

You're just..

You seem a bit mirage,

that's all.

No, just occassions like these make you think..

I hope they do better than us.

Don't you?

Yeah, of course.

Just wondering.

Where's mom?

She went home.

Want to talk?

If you like.

I don't like.

Why did you want to ruin everything?

I didn't want to.

Roz.

Roz, are you there?

Roz, let me in.

Roz?

Roz!

Let me in!

It's just up here on the right.

I think he's still sleeping.

Wait, you go in.

I'll wait.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, he might not want to see me.

If he does, come get me.

Alright.

Hi, darling.

Hey.

How are you feeling?

Doctor said you'll live.

Do they have any good news?

Roz is here.

She'd love to see you.

- No.

- Darling, she's.. No.

Hi.

Hi.

That's good.

I'm better than those f***ing crutches.

I can get you some softer ones.

I don't know why I bother.

They say your spine is gonna be okay,

so that's good, right?

Yeah, only a comparison to what

they're telling me about my leg.

Just a bit left.

Roz?

Hey..

What?

You were calling out for Roz.

Huh?

Were you dreaming about her?

I guess so.

It's not surprising, really.

I've known her my whole life.

She's been like..

Second mother to me.

What would I do without you?

Shouldn't you be moving to Sidney?

I like it here.

I know, but..

I have to travel where the work is..

Mary's the same, so we can base ourselves

where we like.

- Where is she now?

- Audition.

How's it going with Hannah?

It's going..

Nowhere.

She's great.

She couldn't be nicer,

I just..

- You know.

- Yeah.

Pretty soon I'm gonna have to give her the over.

- Hello.

- Hi.

What are you doing here?

I didn't want to tell you over the phone.

Tell me what?

I'm pregnant.

Hey..

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

I think you don't need this anymore..

You're gonna be able to do it all by yourself.

I know you will, ready? Off you go.

Take your glasses off.

I don't like you hiding your eyes from me.

Don't go in the water by yourself.

What's going on?

She's going to the water again.

You've frighten her.

- Can't you see she's frighten?

- I want my granny!

Is this your hat?

- Yeah..

- It's my hat.

I don't think I have any plain bread.

Red and white.

Finish them all.

Those were the best ones.

You've probably have had enough sun for one day.

That's okay, I'll take them up

in a minute.

That's alright, I'll do it.

Come on.

Sweety..

Why are we leaving?

No no no..

Take the lolly.

Granny!

That's alright.

Where's my granny?

You got them over excited.

No, we spoil them, it's what we do.

It's what grandmothers supposed to do.

You two are really pleased with yourselves, aren't you?

At our beach, at our magic beach..

The old bed is cozy and white..

To the sound of the ocean, we sleep through the night.

Adrift on the evening tide.

That's it.

Night night..

I'm exhausted, you don't mind if I skip dinner, do you?

No, I will miss you.

- See you tomorrow.

- See you tomorrow.

Sweet dreams.

Night night, guys.

So how long are you guys on the road for?

I think I'm not more than 6 weeks, and you got back on..

Wednesday.

I can't believe the breaks come by so fast.

Will I see you before you go?

- Yeah, I hope so.

- Good.

- See you.

- Night.

Bye.

Bye, guys.

- Bye, love.

- Bye mom.

No, it's great.

the only problem is now that they built my

part more and more, I'm learning lines everyday..

It's murder.

Ken Pierce, he plays my dad,

they had to..

Do this storyline about him going deaf so they

can give him an earpiece and read him his lines.

Ah, so that's why he looks so bewildered all the time.

I think he's pretty bewildered

at the best of times.

Why don't you all drive back to the hotel together?

Ian can drive.

Why is that?

- I think you've had a bit of drink.

- I'm alright.

You must be over the limit, Tom.

Yeah, probably.

Alright, I'll go for a walk

and sober up a bit.

- No, I'll drive.

- That's fine.

You stay and chat,

I'm gonna get a breath of fresh air.

Do you girls want to go shopping tomorrow?

- That sounds good.

- Go to that dress shop.

Great idea.

I want to speak to you,

in private.

- Ian..

- Now!

I'll kill him!

They really took you for a ride, didn't they?

You're telling me you never even suspected them?

How could you have been so stupid?

You made a stop when we didn't have to.

And all the time they, Tom who was getting married..

For f*** sake, and should have stopped,

they were just stringing you along, they were just pretending..

And having sex whenever they felt like it,

and laughing at us behind our backs.

- And you're saying you had no idea what was going on?

- That's enough.

- Ian, we are not alone.

- What difference does it make?

Ian, what are you taking about?

I just walked across the street and found your

husband rolling around on the floor with my mother.

What?

- You heard me.

- Ian..

Don't f***ing Ian me..

As far as I'm concerned..

This is all your fault.

How could it be her fault?

Don't you see, Hannah?

They're lovers as well.

Ian?

It's not true, is it?

Not anymore.

She put a stop to it.

I don't understand.

It couldn't be simpler.

My husband has betrayed me.

Lied to me from day one.

I'm gonna go and get Alice.

And leave and I never want to see any of you ever again.

If you have any sense,

you'll come with me.

Go on, then.

Well I hope you're pleased with yourself.

I just told the truth.

That's all.

That's all?

And you think that's something to be proud of?

Somebody had to.

No! Nobody had to unless they wanted

to cause as much damage as possible, Ian.

Especially to Hannah.

It wasn't going anywhere anyway.

Probably best to make it quick and..

Merciful?

Is that your idea of merciful?

- Granny..

- Don't you touch her.

Granny..

You're worse than he is, you know that?

Tell Tom to stay away.

I don't wanna see him.

I'll tell him.

Bye-bye sweety.

I don't think they're coming back.

We did try, Roz.

We really did, we stopped the same time you did.

We thought that was that.

And then..

We started it again just..

A few weeks after the wedding.

Mary was away auditioning and..

Tom dropped by.

The way he always did.

And it just sort of happened.

I didn't tell you because I thought..

It wasn't gonna last.

And then once we both realized it..

Roz..

It's just seem too late to tell you.

Too hurtful.

After the way you sacrificed Ian.

And Tom really didn't want me to tell you.

Because it was..
