Ryan is sulking that Gemma has gone to the concert with Matt. He really likes her, but she won't do anything with him!
Clarrie takes an interest and asks if Ryan means "the car- wrecker across the road"(!) Ryan thinks Gemma saying she had a boyfriend in Brisbane was just an excuse to put him off!
Coffee Shop
Harold, Eddie and Joe are chatting about the darts tournament. Madge comes in and says she needs Eddie at the Waterhole straightaway - someone else has called in sick. Harold is not impressed. Joe suggests that Ryan could help out, but Harold doesn't want to upset Dorothy. Harold also wants someone to take the "Munch Box" out - he might do it himself. Madge says she could do it and Joe falls about laughing. So Madge decides to do it to spite them - she says it'll be good for community relations!

Melanie has put up a sign announcing the Darts Tournament. She's got a lot of people signed up and goes through the list. She lets the words "Jim and Caroline" slip and Paul gets very angry.
PAUL: Now, you listen to me. If I catch you spreading that story, you are going to be looking for another job, and don't think I don't mean it!

Paul asks Joe to keep Bouncer in - the dogs have been getting in the bins lately. Joe says Clarrie's dog is a bad influence on Bouncer. He starts joking about "young love" and Paul gets the wrong end of the stick, telling Joe that it's none of his damned business. Joe is confused.
Outside Lassiter's
