BILL: what, the dumb one?
TOADIE: Don't be so hard on yourself there buddy, I was going to say the good looking one.

BILL'S WORKSHOP
Bill comes looking for a saw, passing Anne quickly. She makes him stop and tell her what's going on. He gripes about not getting much work done. She thinks it's because of Toadie's broken heart, but he thinks it's because Toadie always used to be the leader when the were kids, so he thinks he can boss him around. He leaves and Amy comes by, wanting to sort things out with Anne. They make up and Anne asks Amy if she's OK. Amy puts it down to the festive season, too many parties, not enough hours in the day. Anne asks her if she's going to the millennium party. She says she is. Anne thinks Lance has something special planned for the two of them.

Libby comes along and complains about having to rewrite the article because Geri had words with her editor. Drew jumps to Geri's defence, saying she wouldn't do that. Steph and Libby agree they hate it when a girl bats her eyelids at a bloke and all rational thought goes out the window. Steph says Geri needs to lighten up and take a joke.
