D.E.P.O.S. I.T....deposit!

Yeah, but you didn't say that there was just the

deposit...

see, we thought we were paying the entire fee

here.

Well, maybe in the future you should read legal

documents before you sign them.

Well, we're not gonna pay it, and we want our

money back.

Okay, once more for the hard of hearing.

That, is a legal document.

Not only will you not get your deposit back...

but you must pay the entire fee within a weeks

time.

Please,...Daniela.

We saved for an entire year for the money we

already gave you.

That's Y.P. not M.P.

What?

Your problem, not my problem.

Yeah, well... thanks for your time.

What are we gonna do Stew?

I don't know.

I don't know Miss Rose.

C'mon.

Sorry Jill.

What are you doing here?

I was wondering when you were going to respond

about my offer?

I work here.

No, Jill, you're wasted here.

With your eye for a bargain, my contacts...

...we have the perfect combination,

for a perfect relationship.

I'm married.

So am I.

Get out of my office now, or I'll pick up that phone

and I'll call your wife,

and I'll tell her you just made a pass at me.

She wouldn't believe you.

Get out.

Fine, fine.

But the offer is off the table.

You stupid teacher.

- Help! Help! Don, I'm being attacked!

- Wh, what are you doing?

Get your hands off her!

Ahhh...

You okay?

Hey Stew?

Yeah.

This, Winterbrook thing...

I can't but feel it's partially my fault.

I never told Sugar Puff how much it cost.

I had no idea.

I wanted to get married at the surf club, but Sugar

Puff,

well, not worth the grief.

- Anyway, brides big day and all that eh?

-Yea... Yeah.

Hello, Brian?

Hi, I just thought you might um...

I thought you might like.

What happened to your car?

Same thing that happened to me Martin.

I need you to call an ambulance.

Oh, um.

Mum, have you seen Mum?

she's just down there.

Mum!

What is it? What's happened?

Dad's had a heart attack.

God...Oh God!

- Is he okay?

-We don't know.

He had a second attack in the ambulance on his

way here, so he's not in good condition.

He'd be worse if he hadn't given himself that

oxygen.

He gave himself oxygen?

From his welding bottle apparently. Never heard

anything like it.

Can we see him?

Not right now, we had to put a shunt in his leg and

he's sedated...

So just give him a few hours,

he's doing fine.

G'day mate,

thought we might come give you a hand.

Thanks guys, I could really use some help.

I brought some pies too.

So who's looking after the garage?

Eeny meeny miney mo, catch a tiger by the toe, if

he squeals let him go, eeny meeny miney mo.

Brian told me he had a dream about being dead.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, he said he ah...

woke up in this huge field of long grass and flowers

and all around him as far as the eye could see...

are these run down sheds. So he goes to the

closest one opens the door...

and there's this Ford V8 Roadster in it. And the

next shed and the next, they're all full of Fords

right.

It's then he knows he's in heaven!

Ha ha, cause only good Fords go to Heaven.

Couple more tweaks, and we'll have her back just

the way she was.

Why should we stop there?

What are you saying?

Well we're in the zone...

and Brian he seems to have all the parts.

We could have a bit of a snack you know, then

crack into it.

What finish the car?

Yeah.

Mum.

Yeah?

I'm sorry.

So am l.

I've made such a mess of this wedding thing,

you've no idea.

Oh.

What's happened?

I don't know what to do.

Tell me.

You know how we booked the Winterbrook.

We paid the $6000,

- and now they say it's going to cost $24,000.

-Oh.

Any chance of a cup of tea?

Gracie I need a favour,

I want to trade you this if you do some alterations

to my wedding outfit.

Jill you don't have to give me that, I'll do it for free.

I want to give you that.

And this.

Wh...what?

It's an invitation, I'd love you to come to my

daughters wedding.

Really?

Yes.

Come on put your backs into it.

Surprise.

You finished it?

Well actually Brian, we didn't.

He's asleep.

It must be good to have him home.

Oh yes....it is.

- A little drink to celebrate?

- Thank you.

Chin, chin.

Cheers.

You're so lucky to have him.

Yes I know.

Could have been a whole different story,

you know. If you ended up with John.

You've got to let me in.

Please!

I've saved for months for tonight,

it's not my fault the bus broke down.

Sorry, strict orders, no one can come in once the

show starts.

This is his last show,

I've never seen him before.

If I let you in, I'll lose my job.

Sorry.

So you sure you're okay?

I'm fine.

Promise you wont tell anyone.

Cross my heart.

I'm Brian.

Jill.

As soon as I laid eyes on Brian, I knew that John

and I weren't meant to be.

Right, now down to business.

Cheryl's wedding, lets do some rough calculations,

if we do the catering ourselves and we eat off

paper plates.

We can afford about...

six people.

Oh, that's without a band or a DJ.

We can't have a wedding without music.

It's meant to be the best night of her life,

I don't think even we can bargain our way out of

this one.

What do you think?

Perfect.

Right.

You're not selling your John Rowles collection?

Well no sacrifice is too great for my daughters

happiness,

Yeah, okay you got me, it's just my double ups.

It's time.

You ready Muffy?

Ready as I'll ever be.

Okay, we're on.

Hello Jill.

Kevin, I bought that toaster from you.

I know,

I miss it.

I'll give it to you for 10 dollars.

Oh, call it 20 and keep the change.

Jill.

How much for this picnic table?

I wouldn't pay that.

Be quiet Peter, 20.

Deal..

Deal.

Ohh..Scully!

That's a rare one.

You gonna buy it?

Course I am, it's a classic.

You know about Tretchikoff's?

Yeah, I've quite an extensive collection.

Do you ah...

Do you have the Chinese Lady?

Are you kidding?

It's almost impossible to get now.

But I've, got the Balinese Lady.

Really? I've been looking for her

I don't believe it...

A man who collects Tretchikoff.

Yep, I've even got the Pointsettiers,

the flowers are some of his most beautiful... work.

Would you um...?

Would you like to...?

- See...

- Would I...?

M.m.my...

collection?

Yes please.

- I'm Jane.

- Steve...ahh Steve...Steve..Steve

You right there?

Fine.

Let's haggle!

Okay.

Oh!

The woman that sold me that, didn't know what she

had.

Oh, is that right? 15.

I'm sorry, but you're not welcome here.

You can't stop me coming to a Garage Sale.

No, but I can stop you from trespassing on private

property.

Come on Martin.

You don't have to go Martin, you're more than

welcome to stay,

there's a lot of really good bargains.

Ahem, excuse me?

Do you know someone's trying to steal your sign?

What?

Hey?

Hey?

Oi!

Huh?..who steals a sign?

Do you have any old records?

Oh yeah sure, follow me.

Great, thanks

How much for this one?

Oh, I'm sorry that's hers, you'll have to wait.

Okay, okay, I'll give it to you for 30 dollars.

-I'm sorry, I have to go.
