so he can control him, make him walk around and

that.

So why did he get into the fat guys backside?

I don't know.

And why was he running around doing this

anyway?

He just wanted to be loved.

He wanted to be loved, so he crawled inside some

fat guys service hatch?

That's stupid.

It's not uncommon.

And I said the show's gone downhill, ya know, right

down.

G'day Miss Rose.

Hello Mr. Davis.

- Hey Cheryl.

- Hi Guys.

And to what do we owe the honor of this little visit?

Oh I thought I'd just come round and say Hi to my

new fiance.

Oh your new fiance?

Have you told your old fiance about me yet?

Yeah he was sweet with it, he said the best guy

had won on the day.

Oh that was nice of him, wasn't it?

Oh lets have a look, lets have a look.

Oh, very nice.

Very nice.

Personally I prefer something a little more...

... bolder.

But this is very classical.

Did he choose it himself?

He did indeed.

And he dressed all by himself this morning.

He has got very good taste.

You could learn a thing or two from this man Honey

Monster.

Yeah, Honey Monster.

Now, have you got a venue yet?

Actually we haven't even...

Well you must try the Winterbrook, it's absolutely

devine.

Well to be honest, it's a little out of our price range.

Oh, don't be daft,

my friend Daniela, she works there,

- she gave us mates rates.

- Really?

Now you're going to have to book a date because

they fill up real quick.

Why don't you and I go and have a look at it now?

Yeah.

Honey Monster...

can Stewy come with Cheryl and me to look at the

venue?

Yeah, yeah no worries.

Alright you two, off we go.

Have fun Stewy.

He's screwed aye?

Wow!

This is perfect Stew.

Right well when?

Um, when do you have available?

Well we do have some space in two years time.

It'll have to be a winter wedding though.

Oh, two years?

Come on Daniela, you can do better than that.

Okay,

Oh,

we have had a cancellation actually, apparently she

was a he!

-Well I was saving it but...

- Daniela

-But since you're such good friends and...

- When?

In two months time.

Oh no that's a bit soon.

Yeah we'll take it.

I'll write you in.

We'll need to get together next week and sign

some forms,

but the place is yours.

Hello.

I was just wondering if Jill was in?

Oh, I'm sorry she's gone out.

Do you know where?

Well, if you'd asked me that question a week ago,

I could have told you where she'd gone, what she's

doing and when she'd be back, but ah...

Jill's a bit low at the moment.

- She's not herself, is she?

- No.

I'm sorry, I'm Brian.

Gracie Clearfield.

Oh.

It just slipped out, I didn't mean it, I feel so terrible.

Well, not as terrible as Jill feels.

I'm sorry, that was a mean thing to say.

Look could you just give her these and tell her l

called round and...

I'll see her at school tomorrow.

Right you are,

take care.

Oh don't bother with that lot sport, I've been

through it.

Nothing there anyone would want to buy.

It's a load of junk.

I don't blame her.

Here's your cup of tea.

That's your answer to everything isn't it Brian,

A nice cup of tea,

calm the troubled waters.

It's just a cup of tea.

You hurt me Brian,

you and Cheryl, the two people I love most in the

world.

And you let me down.

- Cheryl begged me to.

- What?

take sides against me.

If I told you, I would have hurt her.

If I said nothing, I would have hurt you.

Whatever I said I would have hurt someone, what

was I supposed to do?

Hello Cheryl.

Hey Mum.

Look I...

...just wanted you to be the first to know that we've

set a date.

It's in two months time.

I know that's really soon but Warren's wife got us

into the Winterbrook.

The Winterbrook..

Er.. Isn't that a bit pricey?

We're not expecting you to pay...

...we want to do it ourselves

We were gonna have to wait till the end of next

year but...

Now we're in.

The ring.

Mum I really want you to be a part of it

And what do you want me to do?

Park the cars? Wait on the tables?

Mum, don't.

No you made yourself pretty clear Cheryl, I

embarrass you.

I'll come to your wedding, but I'm damned if I'll be

part of it.

Oh Jill.

Is that really how you feel?

Yes it is!

Right!

Well I'll organise it myself then and YOU..

..you can sit down the back in your Garage Sale

dress and your second-hand shoes.

Goodbye!

Cheryl?

Whaa!

Well, help me up!

Come on,.. come on

Alright?

It's not funny!

Cheryl.

Mum?

Mum?

No...

You say your daughter only wore it the

once?

Only got married the once.

I'll give you 80 dollars for it.

Deal!

Mum, I'm not too sure about this.

Trust me on this Cheryl...

...it's only going to need a couple of alterations.

Mum?

MUM!?

Mmmmmuum?

MUUMMMM!!

Cheeeeryl...

...this is your place...

...Muffy...

...and these are your flowers...

The wedding of your dreams eh Cheryl?

Get away!...get away!...

Hey... Cheryl,

C'mon...wake up!

It's alright,

It's okay,

It's just a dream.

It was horrible.

What happened?

Mum.

I don't understand why your Mum can't be part of

this wedding.

Because she'll ruin it.

How?

I don't even think she's ever bought anything new,

ya know?

Even my name's second-hand

Cheryl Moana Marie.

Hey...hey.

She means well... yeah?

Yeah... I know.

I just..

...just wanted to own something that...

...didn't belong to someone else first, ya know?

A new dress or a new doll.

Anything.

C'mon, come here.

Why don't you get some sleep okay?

Big day tomorrow.

Whaddya reckon?

All you need now is a tin cup and an organ grinder!

I don't know...

Couldn't we try something a bit more...

ya know...sexy.

Sexy!?

Jane!...you're a bridesmaid.

Anyway,... bridesmaids are pretty much guaranteed

to get lucky at the reception,

...it's like a law or something. You don't even have

to look sexy.

Doesn't hurt to advertise.

Ah...what's all this?

Photographers!

I went around, and got their albums so you can

have a look at their work.

No we already have a photographer,

we're using my Uncle Cyril

Your Uncle Cyril?

He's an amateur photographer, I'll show you.

Cheryl!

This is your special day, ya need somebody

professional covering it.

Look.

Now I want to show you something...

...let's see... there.

Now, have a look at these two photographs,

Can you see the difference between these two

photographs?

Yes.

YES! The difference is that one of these is a

professional.

Now with all due respect to your Uncle,

I'm sure we all know what the better photograph is.

Definitely.

See, this is Klaus Van Hough.

I can highly recommend him, he did my wedding as

you can see.

He's European you know.

Mmmmm.

Oh, look at you...

aren't you just the most gorgeous thing,

aren't you gorgeous, oooh

What's this?

Oh, Daniela asked me to drop it off for you.

Oh, what's this figure here?

That's the rental fee for the Winterbrook.

But we already paid the rental fee.

Na silly, you paid the deposit. That's the fee.

What?

Oh...

...good little doggy.

The form you signed clearly says deposit,
