You used to be George Clooney
but now you're more like Charlie Sheen.
I've worked harder than anyone to get where I am.
Where you are is sitting in front of me
about to piss into a jar for a drug test.
I love you. I know.
But I don't want kids.
You can either be a dad or be with me,
and if I were you I know which one I'd choose.
I think we need to end this. I'm... so sorry.
Matt, I totally get it.
You need Charlie. I know these things.
You don't, and you're wrong.
Option A, we co-parent,
or option B, you walk away - no strings.
This baby is going to change things. You were right.
Didn't you want to be with me anyway?
Hey, baby girl.
You're a natural.
She's not here. Well, she's probably in the shower.
I never saw her go.
How are you enjoying fatherhood?
The first nine hours have been kinda challenging.
Hugh? For god's sake, where are you? Hugh?
Jesus! Hugh!
Hugh, are you alright?
Hugh?
Hugh!
Hugh! Oh, my god, please don't be dead.
Hugh!
Hugh!
I mean, don't take this the wrong way
but you have totally ruined my life.
But you know what?
You're worth it.
Hey?
Happy birthday, Eliza.
Ohh.
You're asking for trouble letting Eliza sleep in the same bed.
Given the choice I wouldn't have had you boys in the same house.
Suddenly everything is explained.
Not that I wasn't consumed with love,
but you cannot let them wrap you round their little finger.
Of course not.
Alright, that's enough. Can't dawdle.
Yes, there we go. Thank you. Yep, thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Ah.
Just remember next time you see me I will be almost disgustingly rich.
Never doubted that for a second.
I'm so sorry.
Ajax, bloody hell!
Could we, um, move it along a bit, please, yes?
Some of us have meetings to get to.
You want to come here and help out a bit, mate?
No!
Kind of loses something of the solemnity of the occasion,
don't you think?
Oh, what?
I don't have time for this.
Hey, Hugh!
Jeez! Happy birthday, Eliza!
Yeah, happy birthday, Eliza!
Very sorry for your loss.
Ha-ha!
Show me the money!
I don't know. I don't think I'll last a day.
Says 'doctor'. Get over it! Dipshit.
I don't know. Some old dude.
So here we are, then. It's the meeting.
Happy days, Betty.
Happy days.
The joy of being unconfined.
Hello, Eliza.
Happy birthday, pumpkin!
Aww. Hello, bubba.
Shit! Shit!
The meeting! It's today!
Shit, Jarrod! Shit.
I can't do this.
What was I thinking?
I can't do it.
But it was... but it was excellent.
It really, really was excellent.
Hey, hey, come here.
Shit!
Where are they?
The buyers. Have I kept them waiting?
Have you, um, brushed your hair today?
What? No.
Yes. Of course I have.
Where are they?
Mmm, you're very late. Yes, I know. I'm sorry.
What? Tell me.
They've rescheduled. Why?
What have you done?
They're not pulling out?
No, no, no, the Knight Cartwright Cardiac Unit
is still being bought out
by one of the most cashed-up medical providers on the planet.
We're partnering with them. It's not about the money.
Hm, speak for yourself.
Why have they rescheduled?
We were supposed to sign off today.
Oh, and you brushed your hair specially.
Hugh! Oh, I don't know, this or that.
Apologies, but they'll finalise in a couple of days.
Ah, Dr Cartwright, Dr Knight.
Let me introduce Tara Khourdair, our new GP registrar.
Very pleased to meet you both.
Ken's been bringing Tara up to speed on his breakup with Mia.
So ironic, don't you think, Tara, Mia, M-I-A -
missing in action, which is where my heart has been
since the Long White Cloud called Mia home to New Zealand.
Time's a great healer, Ken. We all regroup and move on.
Dr Knight. I believe we met earlier.
Oh, god.
Ah. (LAUGHS) Ah.
And I've been so looking forward to meeting you.
I have heard so many amazing stories about you.
They're hilarious. Well, some of them.
It's laughter all day long here.
We all go home with a stitch.
I'm obviously hugely grateful
for you agreeing to have me come aboard in Whyhope
and for giving me the chance to get my head straight.
Just so long as this is in the past.
Penny, I stumbled,
but it was everything to do with the company I was keeping in Sydney
and... one stupendously shitful relationship.
So you understand that you're on probation now
for a full year,
and that your conduct is subject to continual review
and monthly drug testing?
I also understand
that it's a brilliant time to be joining this practice.
We're finalising a partnership with Alcon Health Group of Providers
that will see a major expansion in the services we can offer.
Amazing.
So I will come down hard on anyone who doesn't perform.
Welcome to Whyhope.
Clearly the road needs to be sealed.
You can't keep losing caskets all the time.
It's untidy.
The road's on our land, so if we want it sealed
then we have to pay for it, and I've had it costed.
How much?
This cemetery business is meant to be an investment in your future,
not a drain on our resources.
That's ridiculous.
Hayley, let's go.
Now.
Yes, Meryl. Where are we going?
Town, to see Council.
Oh, for heaven's sake!
Charlie!
Hey! Fancy seeing you here.
Hi, guys. Yeah!
Yeah, I've been on the road with the book, promoting.
Next thing I know, Whyhope.
Yes, yes, it is.
Yeah, so I thought, you know, it's been a while
so maybe just a night or two, why not?
As long as you're here
you should come to Eliza's party this afternoon.
She's one.
Oh, yeah, thanks. That would be...
It's lovely, but it's probably, you know...
Here's a thought. Hayley's got a couple of errands to run.
For Eliza's party.
And I have a meeting. Maybe you could drop me at home later on.
And you could stay for the party, see everyone.
OK, yeah, sure.
Yeah, I can do that. Sure, later.
I should, um...
Yes, yes, of course.
OK. Great.
Bye, guys.
