I'm not good enough to carry your children, is that it? No, no! I` I told him that it was not right to talk about you like that, and that I had to stick to my principles. And how did he take that? He said it was good that I stood up for myself. And... it was a sign of warrior stock or something. (SCOFFS) He's incorrigible. I gotta go. You have to? Mm-hm. This important meeting... is that with PR girl? Nah. Nah, it's just business. Good to know. This is everything? Everything Patricia could find at such short notice.

Yes, we do. < I think we need to appeal to their sense of propriety, don't you? You want to approach them on moral grounds? Just what's in their best interests.

I'm gonna take care of it. Do you need money? You know what? Money doesn't fix everything, Joe. So you work as a project manager too, Cherry? Kind of. She doesn't really need to work, eh, cos she's so rich. Not really. But giving Zac all that money... I told her you didn't mind helping Garth. I still can't believe it. It's nothing. Honestly, it's my pleasure. I mean, I've got a trust fund, and I know how much you and Garth mean to... Zac. So, please, take it. God, I don't know what to say. Oh, it's really no problem.

(SCOFFS) Well, seeing as you do it with an old goat, you can't really talk, can you? Since I'm here, I probably should tell you that TBH Housing is for sale. Since when? I've had an offer, and I'm considering it. This is you coming in peace, huh? Do the other TBH directors know about this? Oh dear, are you gonna tell on me? Well, I am still general manager.
