Hey, I'm already taken, love.
- Who got it?
- Muriel.
Looks like I'm next.
Cheryl. Cheryl!
I can throw it again.
You can't do that.
It went to her.
Muriel, throw it again.
What's the use of you having it, Muriel?
No one's ever gonna marry you.
You've never even had a boyfriend.
Cheryl's been going with Shane
for over six weeks. She's next.
Muriel, don't be selfish.
Sugar baby love
Sugar baby love
Keep your stupid bouquet!
Shane and I broke up last night!
Cheryl! Cheryl!
Now look what you've done.
You didn't even buy a new dress.
- Yes, I did.
- Cheryl!
Chook, I won't be a minute.
Cheryl's upset. Cheryl!
- Leave me alone!
- Yes, all lovers make
Make the same mistakes
As me and you
There you are. Now if you
put this under your pillow,
you'll dream of your future husband.
- That's what they say.
- We always meet at Mary Tate's.
G'day, Muriel.
That's an eye-catchin' dress.
You got a minute?
How's your dad?
Give him my card.
I want you to tell him that
Leo Higgins reckons he's a great man...
the best council president
this town's ever had.
- Will you do that for me?
- What happened to your nose?
- What?
- Nothing.
Sunburnt, that's all.
Oh, my God.
But we're friends. What?
- I love you.
- Yeah, but you love Tania too.
- Chook.
- What?
Shut the door!
Excuse me, sir. Move aside, miss.
Can you step aside, please?
- Please tell me--
- That's her.
Miss, we'd like to have a word
to you about your dress.
- What's wrong with it?
- You stole it. I saw you.
Give me your work number,
and if she can't turn up a receipt...
I can call you for a statement.
Ask for Dianne,
Senior Store Detective.
- Mind your head, please.
- I'm so pleased.
I had the perfect arrest record
until I lost her in boys wear.
How'd you know she'd be here?
I didn't.
I'm the groom's cousin.
It's as good as approved.
Well, no, it's not.
But it will be. Porpoise Spit Council
backs me a hundred percent.
- Look, we'll talk about it
at dinner tonight.
- Around and around
- Yeah, me whole family. Penelope!
- And around--
Do that somewhere else, will ya?
Ask your mum to make a cup of tea!
Mom, make Dad a cup of tea.
Mom! Make Dad a cup of tea!
- Me too.
- What?
Tea? Oh, yes.
- He got it! Look at that!
- Oh, man.
Did you see that?
That was unreal.
Muriel's back.
Muriel, did you steal this dress?
- No.
- Where'd you get the money to buy it?
You haven't had a job in two years.
- Mum gave it to me.
- Is this true?
Um, no, I don't think so.
Find the receipt. Go on!
What happens
if she can't find it?
We'll have to contact the store
and see if they want to press charges.
- You know who I am?
- Yes, sir. Councillor Heslop.
- Who are you?
- I'm Constable Saunders,
and this is Constable Gillespie.
Saunders? You're not
Graham Saunders' oldest boy, are you?
- Brad.
- Young Brad.
I haven't seen you since you played
fullback for the Porpoise Spit Giants!
How's your dad? How's he
recovering from that stroke?
- He's better than he was.
- You're terrible, Muriel.
How about a beer? Cold one
before you go back to work?
- Betty.
- Yes? What?
- Get the young fellas a beer.
- Oh. Yes.
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
- Where they play the right music
- See you, boys!
- Getting in the swing
- See you, Bill.
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young
and the music's high
It's very good.
Oh, honey prawns! Yes! Yum!
Aw, look at that!
You're a wonderful man, Charlie Chan.
- Thank you.
- How's your uncle?
- Very well.
I got his uncle out from China.
Talked to the boys from lmmigration.
lan McKay and his blokes,
they got his uncle out from China.
- This is a great man.
- Charlie.
- This is Victor Keinosuke
and his mate, uh, Akira.
- How do you do?
They're building a resort
at Wallum Beach...
and they might want a Chinese restaurant
in it, so keep the food comin'.
- Please, please.
It's all on the house.
I got his uncle out from China.
You've done a lot for the people
of this town, Bill.
- Who told you that?
- You did.
Ah, well, um-- I like helping out.
Ran for state government once.
Joanie, stand up.
Show 'em your shirt.
"Bill Heslop.
You can't stop progress."
- He lost.
- Yeah, well, missed on the postal vote.
In a way, I'm glad
I didn't get in.
I can do more for this place
You know, high rise,
malls, resorts.
Porpoise Spit Council
believes in progress. Muriel.
When Victor was 19,
he was a millionaire.
Muriel's on the dole.
So is Perry.
Well, I've got a job interview
next week. An apprentice locksmith.
Oh, that sounds wonderful.
Doesn't it, Bill?
A bit old for an apprentice,
aren't you?
A bit old for everything!
After she failed high school...
I get her into a secretarial course
run by a mate of mine.
$300 a term.
Two years, $2,000.
- She comes out, she can't even type.
- I could type.
Then I get her a job
at me solicitor's.
After a month, Stevie Mason rings up
and says he'll have to let her go...
'cause she can't type.
If I couldn't type, why did they give me
my secretarial diploma?
Because I paid for it!
Sits around the house
like a dead weight...
watching TV, sleeping all day,
getting arrested at weddings!
You're useless.
You're all useless.
Bill! Bill!
- It's Deidre Chambers.
- What a go!
- What a coincidence!
- What a coincidence!
Deidre, pull up a chair.
Penelope, shift out.
- Deidre, Victor Keinosuke
and his mate Akira.
- Hello. Hello.
All the way from China--
Uh, Japan.
Deidre's a sales representative
for Radiant Cosmetics.
- Beauty consultant, Bill.
- Sorry. Beauty consultant.
"Sales representative"
sounds so common.
lipstick, base and eyeliner.
Of course, you'd know all about make-up.
Your wives are probably geishas.
You look lovely, Deidre.
Muriel, how was that wedding?
- She was arrested.
- That's lovely.
Don't you wish you were
22 again, Betty?
Remember that age?
Oh, yes. What?
I bet you were a terror
when you were 22.
Bill, was she a terror?
Where's Charlie Chan
with that food?
Oh, yes, where is he?
Anyone? Oh, wait.
I think we've got a winner over here.
Two new bars through there.
Here she comes.
Give her a bit of a hand.
Your dad was telling me
you're unemployed, Muriel.
Would you like to work for me?
- What's wrong?
- What's the matter?
Yeah, tell us.
We won't tell anyone.
Hello.
Don't bottle it up, Tania.
You've got to let it out.
You can tell us what happened.
We won't tell anyone.
He-- He couldn't do it...
so I-- you know.
And I noticed there
was lipstick on it.
- On what?
- His dick!
He said he was having an affair.
Who with?
- Rose Biggs.
- Rose Biggs?
