My name is Stephanie Harper and this is Eden
Here, my father was king
On the day he died, 17 years ago
I was 23, lonely and afraid
If I'd known then of the nightmare that laid ahead
I think I'd have chosen to die with him
Jason, I've had enough
Wait a minute, come on, you can't stop now. You're young, fit
Any case, I've paid you in advance till midnight
- You are merciless - Certainly, right, now let's go again
Now slowly, oops sorry, sorry
Jason, I'm cold, I'm tired and I want to go home
Alright, alright, now just calm down. This is a perfect spot.
This is classic, right? We're under a lamp
Now just close your eyes... close your eyes, relax... relax
Now I want you to think, I want you to think you're gonna meet your lover
Come on... that man that really gets your blood boiling
He's really hot, he makes you hot, alright?
he grinds you in the...
Eh, I do believe you're laughing, eh? That's lovely.
Now is that pressure or embarrassment?
I'm sorry
Ha, ha... got you, ha, ha...
Pfff... just like that, eh?
I'm off the board, and no more income?
I'm not even sure you can do this, you know?
Stephanie did leave very strict instructions
I am still her husband
It was decided in last week's directors meeting. The vote was unanimous
I assure you, it's all perfectly legal, but get advice by all means
How come I wasn't informed the meeting was on?
You haven't attended one meeting in the last 12 months, Greg
Anyway, your presence there wouldn't have changed things
Damn it, there are bill to be paid
Staff salaries and household expenses will continue to be made by the company
Except of course, your personal expenses
Those from here on end, will be your responsibility
Oh, you can go on living at the house... for the time being
You never approved of me marrying her, did you?
Well did you, you bastard!
I think this meeting's concluded
Go to hell
I'm not putting up with this anymore
You're drunk... again
Yes, yes I am.
They can blame me. I'm not your whore, do you hear me?
Greg? Where are you going?
- Out -You come back here, Greg
Alright, alright, alright you can have the money, ok?
Anything you want
Please don't leave me alone tonight
Please... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, ok? Honey I'm sorry
Please will you stay the night with me?
Please!
I'll fix us a drink
Ladies and gentlemen of the press
Hi, mighty new face in the fashion world
Yah...!
Well, I find you very exciting
We don't wish to know about that
- Ah, here's to the flavour of the month! - Yah...!
- And here's to us - Oh, to us
Well then here's to Jason people, star maker extra-ordinaire
Yeh...!
- Here's to both of you - Thank you
- Six months to the day, not bad - Not bad?
- Alright. It's fan bloody tastic - That's better
Ok now, let's get back to work please
cause we gotta start you in about five minutes. Alright five?
What was that line?...
How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people?
Now listen, on behalf of the Local Figures, I'd like to say welcome
Good grief
Wait a minute, Local Figures don't say "good grief"
Oh, really?
- Ah, they just say - Ah, ah...
Sorry
Do you want this over your head?
No, no, she would you know?
I owe it all to you two. I had to learn to walk all over again
I knew the day you came into my office, you had a different kind of quality
a sort of... mysterious something, whatever.
Bloody original, darling
That's it you know? The Sphinx... ageless
Its maturity and wisdom contradicted by a youthful facade.
That's a very potent mixture
Look, there's not one man here today, that hasn't been looking at you
Not you, mother
You really are a drewy little senator Do you mind?
Someone is gonna over-hear you one of these days and think I really am your mother
- No... impossible -Joan, the clients are really getting restless
Oh, I'll be over in a second, I promise
Okay, what's going on?
I read your comments on the TV contract
You know, you really are incredible
I mean you pick up stuff on things that I question
Where on earth did you learn about contracts?
Just gut instinct, ok?
Well, if you ever decide to pack modeling in, there's always a job for you backstage
Can do with a good head around the place
Oh... sorry mother
Why have I put up with you these last three years?
Um... because I'm cute, and you fancy me girls
- Ah, ha! - That'll be the day
No point trying to discuss anything serious in front of this boy
- Let's talk about it later - Okay
Behave... and don't touch my champagne
Oh, oh, second, I'll take it with me
Goodnight sweetie
Know what? I know your face, nearly as well as I know my own
Well I could light you, with a soft light, and diffuse it, and you'd look 21
If I used hard sunlight, you’d be... um... 35?
39?
Eh... these moments...
still like the Sphinx isn't it? internal beauty
Now that old girl, kept her secret for centuries, you know? Good on her
Jason, you are a romantic and a cavalier
Well, that's my secret
Well, here's to us then, and well kept secrets
Wanna ride on my bike?
I'm going home
Oh hello Maxie, my boy, I know.. what's that?
Oh... gee... I worked hard today my darling
I worked like a dog, I did
That was a joke Maxie. You're supposed to laugh
Mmmm, have a nice day? So, what do you think of your new house?
A bit expensive, but I reckon we've earned it
What do you think, mmm?
You know, we might find you a little lady friend
You'll just run off and leave me though. I'll get lonely if you go and leave me.
You hungry?
oh, I'm so tired
I'm too old for all this Maxie I think that's my trouble
15 love
Had a good career. Actually had a lot of promise when he was younger
Something went wrong
...he could drag himself out of bed, if you get my drift
Anyway, he blew it
This is love
Greg's an alley cat with a touch of class.
Then he married Mrs. Moneybag, Stephanie Harper. You must have read about it
15 all
Will you look at them. All having their private little fantasies about Greg Marsden
Not you too
out
Are we here because of Greg Marsden?
40-30
No of course not, I've never even met him
I love the game, that's all
Ah, that's alright, I should play
We should get Jason to do some shots of you on the tennis court
Eh... not exactly vintage, is it?
He might as well have arrived naked
Yeah, what's your name?
Mr. Marsden has the reputation of being attracted by new faces
Beautiful ones, in the public eye I hear he thrives on challenge
Don't look now... I can beat you to the honey pot
Hi there I'm Greg Marsden
and I don't believe we've met
Morning Joanna. Good grief!
Exactly what I said when I walked in
Are they for a layout?
They're for you, all of them. Guess who?
I don't need to
What happened to you two last night? I saw you leave with him
- He walked me to my car and... drove home alone -Car?
- What car - My car
I bought it yesterday. Red Beetle convertible. They're chic. Quite a bargain too
How terrific!
It's not a problem taking your clothes off, you know, I mean it's not abnormal,
everyone here takes their clothes off They do it if I ask them. It's quite natural
Hey guys, take your clothes off. See?
Oh god, look we gotta get this shot done somehow
Buzz, light that camera will you please?
Joan you got another call
Oh, no more calls please. Take messages
It's been chaos on here this morning. Lines never stopped since I got in.
We were a big hit last night. I think everyone in town's rang
Congratulations Joan, it's fantastic
Choo, choo... hay fever. This stuff's gonna have to go. They can't stay
I'm not in the mood, good morning
- Good morning -Good morning
You know, if I knew you were interested in tennis, I would have bought a tennis racket
Don't let us stop you
Ah, listen mother... that model that you got me for today, she won't take her clothes off
Well, just ask her nicely
I did ask her nicely
You're just have to ask her nicely again
- He's absolutely mad - You're not wrong
Oh Joan, that's great
Yes it is, isn't it? Thought I might include that in the next collection
You're quite a workaholic, aren't you?
What about you and Greg Marsden?
What do you mean?
Oh, do you fancy him? You must have a sex life!
You do have a sex life, don't you?
I mean all these months, I just presumed
I don't have time. You know what it's like
You never stop amazing me
Most girls today are dizzy from playing musical beds and
my top model has this quite old-fashioned attitude, that is positively middle age
Present company excepted of course!
Hey, that's what you're supposed to do. Now that's not very difficult. Is it?
Do you think it's as bad as that? I'll even lend you my storin*
Hello
Hi Tara, it's Suzie
Oh hi Suzie
Guess what. Jason has changed your call
Yeah...
It looks like 5:00 o'clock
Five instead of six
yeah
Same location?
sure is
Ok, thanks. Oh Suzie... could you add another name to the invitation list for me?
Sure
You are a very beautiful woman
Thank you
All men must tell you that
Ah... a few
Oh yeah? How many?
Well, let me see now, there was um... oh and then there was... oh and then there was...
- Oh him too? - Oh, and
Oh, oh, oh... I'm jealous of every one of them
We hardly know one another
I feel I've known you a long time
Well what do you call it, umm... deja vu
Mr. Marsden, your table is ready
Thank you
Is there a boyfriend or husband in the picture?
There was someone once. Someone I loved very much
A fairy tale prince that I dreamed about ever since I was a little girl
Oh, what happened?
The dream turned into a nightmare... I woke up. How about you?
Me? Oh... no you don't. It's not fair
Oh, come on. Of course it's fair. I told you
Well... nothing serious
but I could be tempted
by you
Tara, I want us to be friends
Just friends?
- Whatever - Greg
- Phil, well... how are you doing? - Very well, thanks
- Coming Phil? - I'll be right with you
I wasn't sure if it was you or not, it's so dim in here
Tara Welles, this is Phillip Stewart an old friend of my wife's
- How do you do? - How do you do?
So Phil, how's Jilly?
Oh, she's well, last time I saw her
I'm away a lot these days
- Oh that's too bad! - Yeah
Well, enjoy your meal Nice to have met you Miss Welles
- And you Mr. Stewart - Thank you
- Greg - Phil
The Stewarts were my wife's best friends
Tell me about you wife Greg What was she like?
She was a nice person
Anyone that worried as much as Stephanie did about what people thought, was...
just was crazy
That's bizarre, the thing that first struck me about you
You remind me physically of Stephanie
Though she was an ugly duckling
You are the swan she always wanted to be
To us, and whatever the future might bring
To us
Stir his neck with temper
Ah, that's it. Now put your eyes up. I can't see your eyes
Oh, very nice. What are you doing? Come on, watch the birdie, concentrate
- I need to powder down - Powder her down
Give em Bob, double quick powder down, come on
The problem, I want this... terrific
Hey there Mose, put it down for me mate will you?
Ok David, I want you to change those jills
take those paints out and get into a mauve blue or something like that
and put a yashmac on the key mate
Hey J.P., Joan's in a mood You gotta get in there right now
Oh, really?
I'd like to speak to Tara Welles
Tara, there's someone here to see you, now, don't take too long
Yes mother, now what can I do for you?
Did you want to see me?
I'm Jilly Stewart
Can we talk?
- Are you a reporter? - No, I'm a friend of Greg Marsden
- Close friend - Oh, I see
You met my husband the other night
Oh yes, that's right. Greg introduced us at the restaurant
Are you having an affair with Greg?
- I'm sorry? - I know he's been seeing you
We met at the tennis match, we've been out to dinner once. That's all
You're lying
No I'm not
Look, would you like to talk some more?
There's a bar around the corner. It's a little more private
I got a couple of more shots to do, and I can meet you there
Alright
See you soon
Hi, I'm so late Took a bit longer than I expected
I wasn't sure you'd still be here
Ah, don't worry about it
- What will you have? - A beer would be nice
- Yeah, a beer, and another scotch - Thank you
I only drink when I'm down
Phillip's away, I get lonely in an empty home
Yes, I know
Still, you do have Greg
Do I?
Yes, yes I do
He needs me
Greg is addictive, like this stuff
He told me a bit about his wife. I gather you and she were best friends
Hm... since we were kids Our fathers knew one another
They did business
So I suppose it was her death that brought you and Greg together
Yeah, yeah it was
Oh
Thank you
- Cheers -Cheers
Stephanie was a beer drinker
- So you were saying? - What?
Oh... yeah, I know... um, I was about to say
Greg never really loved Stephanie
He told me
Though it wasn't like I was doing anything disloyal
When I fell in love with him
It was one of those things
Did Stephanie love Greg?
I suppose so, yeah
it's my, what time is it?
Ten after seven
Seven? Oh god, I've gotta go
Greg's waiting for me at the house
Did you drive here?
No, I took a taxi. I always seem to be taking taxis these days
Well, I'll drive you home then
Yeah? I gotta go now, he gets angry if I'm late
-That should be fun, thank you - Thanks very much, Tara
Pleasure
Maybe I'll see you again. Ring me. I'm in the book
Yeah
The best time to catch me is in the mornings
- Bye - Bye
How much longer?
Five minutes, alright? Or do you want to see the dark circles under her eyes?
Five minutes, no that's not alright, but we're already gone
then a little bit chop, chop ok, thank you!
I hope your camera self destructs
So much we can do about late nights
I'm sorry, Nicole
Yes, it's not five minutes yet
- Hello Tara - Dan!
I see you've added to your collection
Yes, quite a few
It's a beauty
I... I brought you a little something
Oh, that's beautiful. Thank you
It's cause of Orpheus
Need a hand?
Sorry to be so fable
I thought the first meal you and I were gonna have together
was bacon and eggs
Well, you certainly had it coming
- You haven't tasted it yet - Yeah, but it smells good
You are getting to be quite famous
I think I must be the only doctor in North Queensland who buys copies of Vogue
You reading Vogue... that I can't imagine
You know Tara, I've never seen you look lovelier
I warned you, you should have charged me more
No, I didn't just mean it in the physical sense
There's a new kind of ease
You're more confident, and that is not my doing
You had more than a bit to do with it
Are you happy?
Yes, I think so
I don't just mean your success
No, I know
How many men do you have in your life?
None
Well, I though about you... a great deal
Haven't told me what you're doing in Sydney yet
It's... it's just a medical conference
but I'm really here to see you
Well, I couldn't just let you disappear
Something happen between us out there, didn't it?
Uhhh, I think they're ready
Where’s the bathroom?
Through the bedroom, turn right
- You serve? - Yeah sure
Well, you certainly have a great view
Yes, it is great
I've always loved Sydney harbour
Yeah, me too
Do you know, I've never been in Sandio Pass?
Oh, you should try it while you're here Dan
Salmon is during season at the moment
You love your music, don't you?
I think there've been times it actually saved my sanity
This looks terrific
Thank you
Thanks
Well, if I can get some tickets to the opera, will you join me?
- I'd love to - Good
Bon appetite
Hey!
I think it's time that I went
Please, don't get up
You look like a...
- Thanks for dinner - Pleasure
- Bye - Goodnight Dan
Orgasm, you've just pulled it off, haven't you?
Ah, yes. The bank robbery of the century
and now you're just getting into the fruits of your promo
that's the feeling we want today
Let's keep it in there Keep it going
Von River Chop, whatever your name is,
don't forget to look after your misses there, that's right
and you too John Tara come forward a bit
That's it. I can't see you. That's it.
Ooo, crazy, crazy that will make it...
Jason, you must be ready for a reload
Haven't shot any yet
Give me five minutes
We just got this going
Anyone for tennis?
Hi
Why haven't you been answering my calls?
I've left messages all over town for you
Yes, I know, I'm sorry Greg. I've been flat out
That's not an excuse
I really haven't had a moment
...of him before we lose the sun behind the clouds, Tara
- Who's he? - A friend
How close a friend?
Not that close
We have a professional relationship, I also happen to like the man
- Do you want a coffee? - I haven't got time
How about the weekend?
Haven't planned anything
Can we spend it at the house, with me?
- Your wife's house - Yeah
- Alright - Hey, terrific
I'll pick you up on Saturday night, at 10:00
Don't change you mind
I won't
Jason, where you going? Come back
Where're you going?
Hi
I could murder Jason, he's why I'm late. I'm so sorry
It's fine, don't worry about it
Am I too late?
Oh, we can go in at the interval. Come on, I'll buy you a drink
Oh Dan, I really love this opera, I didn't want to miss the first act
- What do you want to do? - What do you want to do?
Let's go see it some other time. Do you mind?
I don't mind what we do so long as I can sit down
Ok
This place always used to be so crowded
- Times change - Really!
It was the old man's...
Yeah, he'd be here every day after work propping up the bar
Except for Sundays
My mom would come in at six, and she would drag him up to have his dinner
- Hi, I know you - Hello Dot
Danny Marshall, course it must be 30 years
- Frank Marshall's boy - Yeah
You wanted to be a doctor
I remember. You'd always beg Jean...
Yeah, that's right Dot except now that's people
You mean you actually ended up being a real doctor?
- Huh, huh - Well, fantastic
Dot, this is Tara
- Pleased to meet you - And you
Danny Marshall, he was this high when I knew him
...he used to steal all the milk money in the street
Until I got caught in the act. It scared the living daylights out of me
I never done it again
Look doc, I'm dying of thirst
I'll be with you in a minute
Beers are on the house
- Ah thanks - Thank you
Hate these shoes
- Ah, aren't I just begging for your love? - Cheers Dot
You know, we used to have a backyard that I could spit across in a strong wind
Every weekend through summer a mob of us kids would get into the harbour
we'd dive for the pennies that were chucked in by the tourists
I guess the sharks must have felt sorry for us
Either that, or they weren't hungry
The old man use to brag about me to his mate Stanley
Then he'd say he's the bravest kid in the neighbourhood
Back then they kept them in cigarettes
I wish I had known you then, been able to dive for pennies with you
Still those fond memories
Don't turn the lights on
I can't
It's not the glamour of a successful model that attracts me
It's the warm, intelligent lady I met in Queensland
who loves good music,
kids and owls... seashells
and I'll bet when she was little she was the bravest kid in the neighbourhood too
I love you Tara
I have endured these months
I'm sorry Dan
What is it?
Please, trust me
I do trust you
Trust me enough to tell me what's going on
We can't see one another again
I'm sorry. It was unfair of me
Tara
No Dan. Forgive me. Goodbye
Tara
Too slow
It's too slow
Come on, concentrate Well get with it
- I'm sorry - Yeah, you look sorry
I wonder, would you mind tilting your head back a little bit?
It could manage a little more?
Look, I don't know what is the matter with you today
I don't know where your mind is.
Well it certainly isn't here at work, is it?
I mean you got about as much spontaneity as a two year old corpse
Alright, kill that snow Kill the fucken snow
Ozzie, kill the snow
Ozzie put that bloody thing down
Now, switch it off
Now look, I'm a professional, and this is my profession
and I have not got time to waste on amateurs
We all go home. We're finished. Go home
Well have a good long weekend,
and make sure that you're here early Tuesday morning
I love you
Hello
Hi, sorry to wake you
Jilly
I need a favour
Where are you?
Jeroke Police Station. Could you pick me up?
Yeah, ok. I'll be there in... half an hour
oh thanks, thanks so much
Alright
Bye
- I couldn't ring home - It's alright
I'm so grateful to you
Now I left... call anyone when it happened
I used to have a lot of friends
Why didn't you ring Greg?
No, I couldn't
It's not the first time, you see
He gets violent when he's angry
It's been worse lately We haven't made love for weeks
I don't know what to do?
You know I've been, I've been giving him money since Stephanie died
past few weeks I had to pay all his bills
You know, he can't treat me like this
I could tell a lot about Mr. Greg Marsden if I wanted
I can ruin him
Here it is. What do you think?
What I can see, I like
This is my wife's testimonial for being the wrong person after her father died
She... I think living in the old man's shadow
But I like the house, but I can't wait to get rid of all this stuff inside
I didn't tell you, you'll be meeting Stephanie's children
I arrange with the schools for them to come home for the weekend
I hope you don't mind
I thought it might help will convince you that I'm really a family man at heart
You see Tara...
You're the first woman I brought here since Stephanie died
it's a bigger payout if...
If I reckon, by lunchtime you'll have them eating out of your hand
- Matey grab the luggage will you? - Yes sir
...this is our home
Oh oh, we're being watched!
Matey, this is Miss Welles
- My pleasure Miss - How do you do?
Hello Cuz
- Hello, you're beautiful - he doesn't really like guests
Well I'm glad he like me. I've always had a way with animals
Out, you get out. Cuz out
Come on, I'll show you to your room. Then I'll disappear while I check on lunch
I've had to let all the staff go, well except Matey, of course
and... stumbling around the kitchen
So hard to get good help these days
- Eh? It's got a great view - Sure has
That's my room, just there. Don't hesitate if need anything
- See you downstairs - Ok
Hey... I'm really glad you're here
I'm too
Come in
Hi
Hi. You must be Dennis
I know who you are. I know everything about you. You're Tara Welles
That's right
My sister used to cut pictures of you out of magazines
Why did she do that?
She thinks you're really beautiful
I don't know if she still does
Would you like me to show you around?
I'd be delighted
Do you mind my being here?
No, I don't mind but Sas, that's Sarah, my sister
well half-sister, she doesn't dig it too much
I gather that you and Sas don't like Greg very much
Not very much. He's another one of mom's mistakes
Mom liked simple things really. It's just that she let people push her around
make them believe she had to do what they wanted
instead of just being herself
Sarah is like old Max. Sort of stubborn
- Tell me about your father - He was husband number two
He's a research scientist. He lives in the States
Do you hear from him?
Sure, he sent us a sympathy card after the accident
- Is that your mother's room? - How did you know that?
Just something about the way you looked when you pass by people
Better not go in there. Sas is in there, and she's in a kinda stinky mood
She'll come out when she gets hungry
She spend a lot of time in there though
Would you like to see my room?
I thought you'd never ask
When people are giving the tour, they generally give my room the miss
Because it's such a mess
Heavens, did you build all these yourself?
Yeap. They come in kits, then you put them together
This one was really difficult
Yes, I can see it. It must have been
I want to be a test pilot when I finish school
Wouldn't that be a bit dangerous?
Nah, it's ok. I can handle it
Well, there's plenty of time you have to think about your future, isn’t it?
That's what my mother always thought
but I'm not gonna waste a single second
That's my mother
Do you miss her?
I don't believe my mother is dead
I know what everyone says, but some day she's gonna walk in here
Some people are in for a real shock
- You like your tucker, do you? - Yeah, he sure does
Ok, so what do we do after lunch? It's up to you
Well, I'm open to suggestions
Well, there's swimming, sailing, tennis, fishing
- No, not fishing - Don't you like fishing?
I don't like to kill things
Man kills to survive Dennis. It's nature's law
He also kills for other reasons Greg
It's a part of human nature. It's always been that way
It's not going to change. And look what you're eating
Do you think that steer died of old age?
Hey, come on. Let's talk about something happy
Told you she'd come out when she got hungry
Hello
Sarah, this is Miss Welles. She's a famous model
You've seen her on television commercials
I know, who she is
My brother and I have been borrowed for the weekend
to be chaperones
Matey, I think Sarah is ready for her lunch
Yes sir
Thank you
You're very pretty
No I'm not. I look like my mother
Miss Welles is a guest in this house
and you know I don't like talking about your mother
Now if you're gonna go on behaving like a spoiled brat
You can cut out of here
Don't you order me about This isn't your house
She pretends to be tough,
but she still cries herself to sleep every night. I've heard her
We'll take the boat out
- Sorry? - The boat
We'll take the boat out on the harbour
- Sounds like fun - Yeah, sure
I thought just the two of us
I thought you're a family man
- More coffee? - Mmm, thanks
What's on your mind Jilly?
Thought it's pretty rare for us to sit down and eat together these days
more is the pity
I sense a hidden purpose
I want a divorce
Fine
What took you so long to get around to it?
go on, I did expect it
You won't fight me?
No darling. I'm a little tired of it all
I've gone along with the situation until now, hoping you'd wake up to Greg
to the sort of person he is
Frankly, I find it frankly immoral to continue to support my wife's lover
I'd be meaning to discuss it with you
And hearing you, why didn't you say something?
You got over the others. I was hoping you'd get over Greg as well
You've been quietly indulging me all this time, have you?
I suppose I have... in a way
How long have you known?
Oh, I can probably pinpoint the day it started
The day we played tennis at Stephanie's, with the Rutherfords
Just before she and Greg left for Eden
Well, you're wrong
It happened long before
Did Stephanie know?
No, of course not
Jilly, I don't know what happened at Eden, but be careful
I think Marsden is capable of almost anything
I intend to marry Mr. Greg Marsden
Can I steer?
Ah yeah, when we clear the traffic
Tara, why do you like Greg?
I like lots of people. I like you
If you're waiting for me, don't
- Can you swim? - Sure
My mother was afraid of the water
Come on Dennis
Come on Dennis, I'll race you
Good for you Dennis, I'm a little bit out of condition
You were at my school, outside the gates, the day I twisted my ankle
- When was that? - Months ago
Must have been someone else. I don't even know what school you go to
Hey!
Greg! Dennis
- You think he cares? - I care
So what happened with you two?
I don't really know
Yeah, they're moody kids. It's a mistake having them home for the weekend
No it wasn't. I was really pleased to have met them
Last year or so, must have been terrible
Ah, they're young. They'll get over it
I hope so
You really like her, don't you Sas? You pretend you don't, but you do
I don't know what you mean
Just because she's a friend of his, doesn't mean she's the same as he
- She remind you of anyone? - No
She's no different from any of his other female hangers on
I've seen the look in her eyes when she's with him
She want him to make love to her
I don't believe that.
You've got sex in your brain cause you're going through puberty
I have not. Anyways, he has no right bringing her into our house
I hate him... and I hate her
You didn't have to turn it off
It's one of my favourites
- What do you want? - To see how you are
I'm sorry you didn't come out on the harbour with us
No one should have gone
It was my mother's boat. Our lawyer says he can't touch anything
I think he was only doing it to please me
Impress you, you mean
bringing you here, into my mother's house to make love
Sarah!
He is your lover, isn't he?
No, he's not
I'm sorry
Listen to me
Greg is not my lover
and nothing will happen in this house that your mother would not approve of
I promise you
How can someone like you be with Greg Marsden?
Things aren't always what they seem
Oh Sassy, I'd like to be your friend if you let me
You're so beautiful
I wish I was
Hey!
When I was your age
I was scared, very self-conscious, had braces on my teeth
I was plump
I didn't think I was a bit beautiful
and I was sure that no one could really like me
unless of course he had an alternate motive
So I pretended I didn't care
and accepted their attention for whatever reason it was given
It took me a long time to let to of those fears and insecurities
But you know you're beautiful now
I have my moments
My mother was like that
because she wasn't beautiful
she thought people only like her because she was Stephanie Harper with her money
But you know sometimes, if you're really lucky
someone comes along and shows you that real beauty is something that's in here
It's always been there
and all you have to do is just trust it
Doesn't mean you can't make the best of what you've got on the outside
For instance, if you pulled your hair back over your pretty face
It'd make a big difference
Anyway,
Friends?
Maybe
- Hi - Hi
Grab a sit
- Sure I'm not intruding? - You're not
That's my mother, when she was younger
with grandpa Max
Really?
Matey, hi. Sorry to barge in unannounced
Mrs. Stewart?
Where is he? Where's the master of the house?
He didn't mention that you were coming
Matey... just tell him I'm here. Ok?
Very well, I'll let him know
Go tell him about the news... the wonderful news
Hi Jilly
Hi there Jilly. I thought it was you
Ah, ha, Jilly. What a pleasant surprise!
Should have called and let us know you were coming
Tara Welles, this is Jilly Stewart an old friend of the family's
Hi
You have to excuse us Tara,
but me and Jilly have some very important business we have to discuss
Dennis will look after you, won't you mate?
Sure
Excuse us
That was auntie Jilly... she drinks
What the hell do you think you're doing?
What am I doing?
You bastard, what is she doing here?
- You're drunk - Well, what if I am?
You're having an affair with her, aren't you?
- I'm warning you Jilly - I too
No, I never had the lady. I've taken her out a couple of times, that's all
Oh, baby
Baby, come here
Come here
I'm working it, so I'm staying out with a few other women
I'm just trying to take the suspicion of this
The way you've been behaving, I had to do something, didn't I?
- Is that the truth? - Yeap
Do you really think I'd be carrying on with some strange woman under my wife's roof?
with my wife's children here?
And aren't you forgetting something?
You still do have a husband
Oh, ha... that's what I came to tell you
Phillip has agreed to a divorce
Now we can get married
Oh, smile baby
- What's all this? - I think I'd better go, don't you?
Just don't have to!
If I stayed now, it wouldn't be the same
Well, I'll drive you home
No, it's ok. Dennis has called me a taxi
- Oh, has he? - I asked him to
Jilly was a close friend of my wife's
She's also Sarah's godmother
I see
Well!
Well, I'll take that... Thank you
Bye bye Dennis
Say goodbye to Sassy for me, will you?
Are you sure I can't drive you home?
Tara, I'm really sorry
Don't worry about it
She's been drinking
I worked that out
- I'll call you later - Fine
- Chromone please - Right
What's the matter?
Ahhh!
Don't you ever turn up here unannounced, and drunk
Not ever again. Do you hear me?
Oh, come on hit me again, why don't you?
God, Greg!
Hello
Dan
Thought you'd already left?
Well, can't a fellow change his mind?
You've been waiting long?
Yeah, most of the day
Still you're here now. That's what matters
Although, I was beginning to think you'd gone away for the weekend
Well, would you like to come in for a...
No. There's something I want to ask you first
All it requires is a simple yes or no answer
Will you marry me?
I can't
Why can't you?
- Oh Dan, please - It's a reasonable enough question
I love you... I wanna marry you
I warn you, I'm stubborn
Now I won't give in without a fight
I thought on Orpheus that you and I had reached some understanding
Tara, you haven't told me a thing
Now I know something is wrong. It worries me
You worry me
It's not your concern. I'm not your concern
Aren't you?
Dan, you don't know the first thing about me
I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you
Is there someone else?
- In a way - That's a hell of an answer
It's the only answer I can give you
Are you in love with him?
Dan, will you please just leave me alone, and go back to your island
and forget I ever existed
Sure... sure...
if you can look me in the eyes and tell me you don't love me
I don't love you
You're lying
Good luck Tara
Oh Dan... I love you... God I love you
Hello
What took you so long?
I was just thinking about you
That's nice
sorry again about tonight Tara
It really was a farce
Don't worry about it
Can I see you?
Greg, I've been thinking
I want to go somewhere where there no people, no interruptions
I wonder how'd you feel about going up to Eden?
I've heard you talk about it
it sounds like a perfect place for two people to get back together
Eden?
I'd rather not
I realize that it must have some unhappy memories for you
It does
Look, why don't we drive up to the mountains for a week
It really would be a lot better
But we're both too well known
Greg, I just want to be alone with you
at Eden
Really?
Really
Ok
ok, I'll call Katy
Fantastic
So, what’s you doing?
I'm in bed with my cat
I'll come over?
No you won't
I can be there in five minutes
Oh, I'm sure you could
I'll call you in the morning?
Ok
Sleep tight
Good night
Hello
Hello, Jilly? It's Tara
I have to tell you the truth
Heh?
I'm flying out to Eden, with Greg
What?
We're at the airport. We leave in a few minutes
Eden... what?
I thought you ought to know
I thought you said nothing was going on
I'm sorry Jilly. Goodbye
Hello?
