Luke asks him if he's totally over her and he says he is, Mal asks if anything is going on between them but Luke says that it's an odd time for him to be getting involved with someone at the moment - they're good friends.

Angie tries to get advice from Phil but he tells her to visit a professional stockbroker - he's a writer not a financial advisor. She says thanks for nothing.

Luke tells Mal he's been getting into macrobiotics, listening to relaxation tapes and trying to think positively. He's feeling the best he's felt in ages, but he's got a chemo session that afternoon. He thanks him for taking him surfing because he'd almost forgotten what it feels like to go out with his mates. He thinks he'd be better if he just went with alternative medicine because he's achieved more in the past few weeks doing it his own way than he has doing what the doctors tell him to do.

The Pub
Phil serves some drinks to some fans in the pub. Stonie and Cath talk about their relationship and she says they need to negotiate some guidelines as it will save them a lot of pain in the future. She asks what it is about her that he finds annoying or wants to change, he skirts around the issue but eventually says the environmental rallies as she seems to go to one every night. She says it's an important part of her life but he thinks one a month might be better. She says she could cut down to four a month. He asks what she'd like to change about him and she says they're over- rehearsing the play and could just do it on the weekends. He doesn't think they'll be ready in time but agrees to three rallies a month and three rehearsals a week. They also want a romantic night at home occasionally!

No.26
