- Helen Norville: Uh, Dennis said that you wanted to talk to me?
- Lindsay Cunningham: Um, calls went up last night.
- Helen Norville: For any particular story?
- Lindsay Cunningham: A lot of viewers think you've beefed up a bit.
- Helen Norville: [scoffs] Well, thank you so much for holding back.
- Dale Jennings: I feel like I should explain myself. I was in a bit of a strange state yesterday.
- Tim Ahern: Right.
- Dale Jennings: It's just the shock of everything. I don't actually remember what happened or in what order.
- Tim Ahern: So, I was just there. It could've been anybody.
- Dale Jennings: The shots, adrenaline... I just came to say that whatever happened between us, I hope it doesn't affect things going forward. Because we have been a good team and it would be a shame to lose that over a few seconds.
- Tim Ahern: It was a solid minute, from what I recall.
- Dale Jennings: I'm committed to Helen. I care about her deeply. The last thing I want to do is hurt her. So please don't tell anyone.
- Tim Ahern: Of course.
- [Dale turns to walk away]
- Tim Ahern: It wasn't the shots, by the way. We never drank them.
- Noelene: There is a bar in the city that's serving royal-wedding-themed drinks. They've created a Fergie cocktail, a Di cocktail.
- Rob Rickards: I'll do it!
- Noelene: If you ever have any time, will you talk me through a footy game?
- Rob Rickards: Uh, well, the season hasn't started yet.
- Noelene: Even just a tape.
- Rob Rickards: What, you like your footy?
- Noelene: No, but I need to learn. I mean, I see what we play on the bulletin obviously, ut...
- Rob Rickards: So you've never sat down and watched a game of footy?
- Noelene: No.
- Rob Rickards: [laughs] Noelene, Aussie rules footy is the single best sport on the planet and I am the single best person to explain it to you.
- [after an explosion nearby]
- Tim Ahern: Dale, they've bombed the police building!
- Dale Jennings: Get Ross! Get the camera!
- Dale Jennings: Okay, let's try it again, just with the sign-off we agreed on.
- Rob Rickards: Oh, come on. That was funny.
- Dale Jennings: It wasn't.
- Rob Rickards: It was. Look, Timbo's laughing.
- Dale Jennings: If there is a moratorium against me being on camera, just tell me.
- Dennis: Look, you are getting better on camera, but we need someone that doesn't get the channel changed on them. So figure out a way to be that.
- Helen Norville: I was so nervous about meeting you.
- Val Jennings: Oh, please. Has Dale met your parents yet?
- Helen Norville: No.
- Val Jennings: Will they be joining us for Easter?
- Helen Norville: Um, I don't really have much contact with my family, actually. I haven't since I was a teenager. Things just got all... Just a bit...
- Val Jennings: It can be a difficult time.
- Helen Norville: Yeah.
- Val Jennings: I made a lot of mistakes when Dale was that age. I'm sure you know.
- Helen Norville: No.
- Val Jennings: Dale's father died when he was 15 and I... I wasn't much of a mother for a good while. I went to pieces, really. Tried to hide it. That made it worse. Dae had to hold me together. For years.
- Helen Norville: Well, I know that he adores you.
- Val Jennings: I'm doing my best to make it up to him. That's all you can do, really, isn't it?
- Tim Ahern: Why are you killing yourself over this? It's a shit story.
- Dale Jennings: Given a job, I like to do it well.
- Tim Ahern: Shooting yourself in the foot, that's what you're doing. You know, if this story comes off well, you're going to be stuck babysitting Rob. Let him stuff it up. That way they'll put him back to sport, put you on camera.
- Dale Jennings: Are you actually saying the best way to help my career is to do a bad job?
- Tim Ahern: That is exactly what I'm saying.
- Dale Jennings: Good advice. Can we just get the shots?
- Jean: Val Jennings is at the studio entrance.
- Helen Norville: Shit! Okay, um, can you tell her I am unfortunately held up in a...
- Jean: [stares]
- Helen Norville: Shit! Tell her I'll be 10 minutes.
