Oh, I've finished out here, if you

want to come and take a look.

And then I'll start on the back.

Oh, please don't worry

about finishing today.

You can come back next Saturday.

If your father says it's alright.

Alright, alright.

Whatever you say.

Well, come inside and wash up.

Bathroom's right over there.

Gee, nice house.

Come take a look at the rest of it.

Lots of books.

This is a nice house.

Isn't it beautiful.

It's my favourite colour, blue.

It's very old. It belonged to my mother.

That was her favourite colour too.

The bathroom's right through there.

I left out the towel and soap for you.

Well then, thanks.

My name and address are

written on a piece of paper inside.

Would you give this to your father so

that he and mother will know who I am?

Got that. Thanks.

Goodbye.

- Don't forget to give it to him.

- I never forget anything when I'm told.

- I didn't think you would.

- Goodbye Miss Horton.

- Mary.

- Goodbye Mary.

- Oh hi!

- Oh hi, son.

- Want a beer?

- Wouldn't mind.

Get another bottle.

- So how did it go today?

- Real good.

- Mary's nice.

- Mary?

Miss Horton.

She told me to call her that.

I did not at first, you know,

after all you said about what did

she call all the people in there.

She said it was all right.

All right isn't it?

Well, it's about how she said, son.

Did she pay you like she promised?

Twenty dollars.

- I'll look after it for you, right?

- Right.

She wants me to come

again next Saturday, too.

- Didn't you finish?

- No.

Well son, if she's willing to pay,

you can front up next Saturday.

Whatever you say, quite a bargain.

That looks nice.

Not bad, eh?

- Come up to the patio and have some tea.

- Sure.

- Get the phone, will you Tim?

- Mm.

Hello. Who?

Oh, Mary. Hello.

What?

Oh, yeah, he's here.

Dad, it's for you.

Mary.

- Who?

- Miss Horton.

Hello.

Yes, Miss Horton.

That would be...

How are you?

I'm fine, thank you.

A favour?

Well, I don't see why not.

You'd like Tim to help you down

at the beach. That will be alright.

I'm sure Tim won't mind.

He enjoys working for you.

Good. Do you want to talk to him?

Just a minute.

Miss Horton wants

to talk to you again.

Hello.

Yeah, that will be nice, Mary.

I'd like that.

Next weekend.

Goodbye Mary.

Did you hear that?

I'm going to the beach with Mary.

- You ever been up here before?

- No. Don't get out much. None of us do.

All, except Dawnie,

that's my sister.

She even went

overseas once for a holiday.

Have you ever been on the seas?

- I was born in America.

- Oh.

Take your bag. We're

gonna leave the car here.

Okay.

- I got it.

- Good.

I have to pick up some things.
