Okay, mate, the coast is clear.

Lucky, lucky, lucky!

Lucky, lucky, lucky!

What do you reckon, Johnny?

You recognise anything down there?

Forget both!

Just around the corner!

Hey, mate, when you were a kid growing
up down there, did you ever think you'd

be flying this particular piece of sky
with the best pilot to come out of the

Southern Hemisphere?

Who would that be?

Me, you twit! You? No, never! I wouldn't
join the Navy!

That's the thing about life, Johnny.

You never know where it's going to take
you from one moment to the next.

And it's always full of surprises.

Yeah, especially with you as the
control.

Especially with me as the control.

I don't bother with... You're right!

I've been thinking about how I get
myself all fixed up and pretty for this

moment. Look at me.

I am. You're as cute as a bug's ear.

Where have you been all this time? Charm
school?

How you doing, though?

Same as ever. Welcome home.

Lachlan, this is Kate. I recognize you
from your photographs.

Oh, don't tell me. Let me guess. You're
a New Zealander.

A Kiwi. God forbid.

I'm an Australian.

Sorry. That was my second guess.

That's okay. No harm done.

At least you didn't call me a bloody
pimp.

This is Kate's sister, Lil.

How you doing, sister Lil? Pleased to
meet you.

Didn't take you long to leave a lasting
impression, did it? Oh, I'm sorry.

Here. You can forget we ever met.

I doubt that. I thought you were coming
on a train.

I am.

Officially. If they caught us up there
together, we'd both be in a stockade.

They plan on losing a few students every
now and again, but they don't like

losing two at a time.

Besides, I couldn't wait.

Oh, you little devil, you.

I promised him a lift if he showed me
the local scenery he's been bragging

about. From what I've seen so far, it's
well worth the risk.

It's absolutely gorgeous here, Jonathan.

Just you feather your props there. Both
these ladies are spoken for.

No doubt those are landmakes. It's no
less pleasing to look at.

Yeah. Besides, I kind of like the sound
of gorgeous compared to a bug's ear.

How about you, Lil?

Well, he's obviously a man of vision.

Very poor vision, I'm afraid.

I'm amazed they let you fly.

I talked them into it.

It doesn't surprise me.

Since war was declared, the Commonwealth
Air Training Plan has established

dozens of training installations across
this country.

From our sister nations of the British
Commonwealth and from our beloved

neighbour to the south have come the
cream of British and American youth.

In addition, our numbers have been
joined by the three French,

Norwegians, Poles, Czechs, Dutch, and
Belgians, to be trained in the art of

flying and the more intricate technique
of war.

Quite simply, our function here is to
turn out qualified pilots of a high

standard in a continuous stream.

Makes it sound like Trump.

More like a continuous stream of sheep
to the slaughter, from what I hear.

I thought of that before you signed up,
lamb -chop.

If you are prepared to face up to
meeting the challenges before you, then

forward with pride and pleasure to the
day within a very few months from now

when I will have the honor of pinning on
your flying wings.

Until then, work hard, good luck, and
happy landings.

You could use some practice, bitch.

Yeah. Why don't you come with us?

No. Well, come on. Why not?

We haven't been out in ages.

No.

You're turning into an old maid.

I am not.

I've got things to do. What things?

I don't know. Things.

Fine, Cinderella.

Suit yourself.

I've got to pick up the fellas.

Don't forget to clean the fireplace.

That'll be gone in a week, you know.

This could be the last chance in a long
time we have to kick up our heels

together. Yeah, maybe forever.

You were the fool who signed up in the
first place just so you can go off and

see the world and leave us here to do
all the dirty work.

So don't start talking like that now.
It's not funny.

I'm only going so I can check out those
English girls with the peaches and cream

complexions. Wet and fuzzy.

If you go win the war, I'm coming
straight back to work. I promise.

You're not mad at me. You're mad at
Frank.

See you at the dance, Kate. Have fun.
Come on, Lill.

Come with Johnny and I.

You can keep the Aussie company.

It's your duty.

What?

Well, there's a war on. We're supposed
to be good hosts to these boys.

Fine, we'll invite them over for dinner
some night.

You haven't asked for my permission in
years.

Who's asking for your permission?

Well, then, my blessing.

I'm not asking for anything.

What would your mother have done?

Well, that's easy.

She loved to dance more than anything.

So as long as you do, there's no harm.

Nigel, another loud Australian come to
save the day.

Treads, I'm sorry.

Didn't mean to disturb you two.

Look at that, Johnny. A pair of queens.

Do you really think they are?

What? Oh, yeah, of course, mate. They
all are.

All those boys will put them on a funny
track.

I'd be riding to it, too, if I was you,
mate.

You're not.

She's my fiancée.

And you can take your eyes off her.

Sorry, mate.

Not tonight, eh?

Wonderfully mounted.

You're making a lot of new friends
today.

I mean, that boy's got a tear in his
marble bag.

Okay, going to get the folks' car?

I can tap it out.

Oi, what about a bottle?

Piece of cake. It's my neck of the
woods. I got a source that'll knock your

socks off.

I'm gonna miss you, Betsy.

That's a sweet thing for you to say,
Edward.

Richard.

Right yard, Dick.

Oh, you.

Lil's a dazzle if you've been married
long.

Frank got his posting overseas about two
years ago.

He's a pilot in bomber command.

He and Lil tied the knot a week before
he left.

Hell of a honeymoon.

Better than nothing.

Cry me two years.

That's not tying a knot. That's tying a
noose.

You're so ugly, I don't suppose you left
anyone behind.

I left them all behind.

Kate's a girl, eh?

Better hope the war doesn't last too
long for you, Johnny.

The base nearby and all won't be too
long before someone's knocking on our

I got a plan for that.

So, when do you ship out?

Tomorrow.

Oh.

Oh. Very best of luck to you, Richard.

You don't have to worry about me, love.

I know how to take care of myself.

I guess that makes two of us.

Oh, I've got some vicarage and coupons
left over.

You can stock up.

I'm sure

she'll

grow out of it.

Come on, guys, get out.

So, thanks for dropping in.

The pleasure was all mine.

Oh, not all of it.

What the hell's going on here, Johnny?

Best -looking bootlegger on the
prairies.

When they opened the base, she started a
little cottage industry to help make

ends meet.

Sort of her contribution to the war
effort.

They're here!

Come on, Lil, no sense beating the dead
horse.

Yeah, well, I wouldn't bother trying to
make a silk purse out of a sow's ear if

I were you, princess.

Hurry up.

Hold your horses. I'll be right there.

Come on. We're wasting the night.

I remember you.

Lil! I'm coming. I'm coming.

Now.

Hey,

don't you say a word. I've been waiting
on you long enough. I never said a

thing. Yeah.

Don't wait up. You must be kidding.

Don't drive like you're flying Johnny

My God, mate, look at them all.

They're coming out of the woodwork.

They're bringing in from all around.

The guys that don't have ladies have so
much dance with them. The guys that do

don't spend the rest of the night
fighting the other ones off.

That's a good plan.

They're like a kid in a candy shop.

Watch it. Don't see cavities.

Where are you from?

Who, me?

I come from the Gatineau in Quebec.

Sorry, my English.

She is pretty, bro.

Oh, well, that is my French.

Do you like it here?

Ah, you are very beautiful here, but you
are so black.

So what's it like growing up with two
beautiful women in the house?

Oh, Dana.

Oh, you creep.

Come on. I love this one.

Having fun?

Yeah.

It's actually bad.

Oh, yeah.

Do you see your mind?

You're asking the wrong fellow, man,
who's passing through.

Well then, miss.

Hi there. Hi.

Looking for someone?

Look at them all.

Proud women have never had it so good.

Like a smorgasbord of men from all over
the world.

So many exciting sensations.

A girl could lose her hair.

Sure is done a lot more than that.

Well, hello, Betsy.

So nice to see you up and on your feet.

How's it going down on the farm these
days?

Great.

Could be a bumper crop this year.

You should try your hand at it.

No, I don't think it's quite my calling.

Oh, well.

Maybe a right end.

Just because someone's so good at
handing out free samples doesn't

mean they could actually make a sale,
does it?

Lovely girl, your sister -in -law.

Pity she's such a nasty little bitch.

So, Lil, did she marry a nice bloke?

What do you think?

That's I don't know.

Sometimes the best ones end up with the
worst thoughts.

Take, um, take Kate, for example.

What's it to you anyway?

Nothing. Just making conversation.

Mm -hmm.

We sort of break the news to you a lot,
but old Frank is what women refer to

as... Hell of a catch.

Much like myself.

Yeah, I thought so.

Poor girl.

Hold on there, mate.

What's going on?

Why don't you say that for the Jerrys?

It's a nigger here.

Stole my wallet.

Don't you mind that?

You'll find it.

I think you've looked hard enough, pal.

It's none of your business, friend.

If I want to teach this black -ass
bastard a lesson, I will.

Seems this gentleman here doesn't
realize there's ladies present.

Where I come from, no lady dances with a
nigger.

Except black bitches.

I think you need a serious crap, mate.

Because every time you open your mouth,
that's all that comes out.

No goddamn kangaroo talks to me like
that.

Hold it there, y 'all.

No, no, no.

Relax, fellas.

What's your name, partner?

They call me Dipper.

Dipper?

They call me Zeke.

Now, we're not looking for trouble, are
we, little Dipper?

This here's a good old boy for sure.

He's come all this way to help you
fellas out of a pickle.

Now, he's just had a little bit too much
of that fine Canadian whiskey.

I hope you don't mind if I help him out
a little.

We try to take care of our own.

you stuff out of your system.

Dip.

Make a man sit.

I always had to get up and down.

Lucky, lucky, lucky.

Now let's play the last dance of the
evening.

Last dance?

Oh, look, here comes your friend.

Would you like to dance?

Okay.

Sorry about that old chat blip.

I thought you'd never ask.

I didn't.

I think I have three left feet and I
need to escape.

Glad to be a third one.

You are very beautiful, but you are so
flat.

Made it before sunrise.

It's been getting awful.

Well, I had a wonderful night.

I can tell because my feet are killing
me.

Soothe the juke.

Well, I feel like stretching my legs.

Nothing like an early morning walk in
the old Canadian outback, I always say.

Is that what you always say?

Always.

I'll be on the road, mate.

Pick me up on the way back to base?

We'll be long.

Take your time.

Glad you could come tonight, Lil.

There's no sense being all rusty when
Frank gets home.

No, you're right.

Good night.

Thanks.

Sweet dreams.

Sweet dreams.

There's no time for dreams.

We've almost run out of night.

Nothing wrong with daydreams.

Morning, Lou.

Enjoyed myself.

Lucky, lucky, lucky.

Oh, good. I'm so happy for you.

I am freezing my tits off.

What are you talking about? It's the
middle of the summer.

Could have fooled me.

So how was it, mate?

Come on, you can tell me. I won't
publish it.

Come on, I just walked three bloody
miles and slept in the ditch for an

All you could do is tell me you were
sheer ecstasy or something like that.

It'll tell me anything if it warmed me
up.

What are you talking about?

It wasn't your first time, was it,
Johnny?

No, you got it all wrong.

She wants to save that for a wedding
night.

Hasn't she realised there's a war on?

Yep.

She's going to spend it with me.

Spend it with you?

We're getting married.

You're going to be out of town for a
while, Johnny.

Forever?

If you're one of the lucky ones.

I never should have left you alone.

Good morning, gentlemen.

Have a seat.

You've all had a few days to get
familiar with the place. Now it's time

down to work.

I'm Flight Sergeant Williams, your
instructor of Blue Group.

They call me Zeke.

My job is to smooth out your flying and
improve your accuracy, which means

circuits and bumps until you don't know
if you're coming or going.

We'll be going over instrument flying,
night flying, and formation flying.

When you're not in the air with me,
you'll be with GIS, going over armament,

navigation, maintenance, aircraft
recognition,

bombing, and learning how to use a
machine gun.

Although I like to avoid referring to
this as a crash course,

there's not a lot of time to turn you
pups into pilots.

Seems there's a big demand for your
services overseas.

And that's not because those that went
before you have opted for early

retirement.

The point is,

What you learn here will come in very
handy, especially if you like the idea

going fishing with your grandchildren
someday.

I've managed to survive two tours of
duty with bomber command, and now I get

risk my neck sitting up there next to
you.

So for God's sake, and mine, pay
attention.

Don't be stupid.

Don't get too smart.

And whatever you do, don't panic.

It's all for now, gents.

Pick up your flight allocations on the
way out.

Report as requested.

You and I got off to a bit of a shaky
takeoff, Dipper.

Doesn't mean you're not going to make a
good pilot.

I don't know about the temperament,
but...

I know you got balls.

How are they anyway?

Boots could kill dip.

I'd stick that ugly mug of yours on the
front lines. This one would be over in a

week.

CPR doesn't realize I've got an
important meeting overseas in a couple

This waiting's worse than leaving.

You're being left behind.

You don't have to wait on me.

There.

This is where I am. I'm back already.

I stepped off the train all fattened up
from living on peaches and cream, ready

to go back to work.

You sure you're missing the wedding?

Send me some cake.

Care of something?

Just happened to be in the country.

Thought since I was here, I'd pop in.

Hi.

What are you doing working on a
Saturday?

Well, one day is pretty much like
another to me.

I like your bike.

Yeah, thanks.

Picked it up for a song.

Didn't know you were a singer, too.

Well, I'm not really that good.

But the poor fellow who owned it, you
see, couldn't convince the Air Force

letting him take it with him overseas.

Although, since I'm not here for long...

Might free me up to make the most of it.

Oh, for me?

That's not everything you can get for a
song.

I'm glad that's understood.

Hmm, my favorite.

How did you know?

I'm glad you like them.

You know, I had to travel halfway around
the world to bring those to you.

Get on the bike.

God,

you sure know how to stir things up.

Hold on, they almost cost me my life.

Now what am I going to do?

Well, you can't go back there until the
buzzards settle down.

How about you and me go for a little
join on my petrol pony here?

Anything worth seeing from up there?

Lots. But I wanted to finish off the
field today.

Do it tomorrow?

One day's pretty much like another round
here, right?

Okay.

On one condition.

Sure. Anything. What?

Don't sing to me.

Driving a pretty hard bargain, Lil.

How about poetry?

Nope. Too close.

Humming? Too annoying.

No more flowers either.

It's a deal.

You never said anything about whistling.

All right, have it your way.

I have slipped the surly bonds of earth.

And danced the skies on laughter's
silvered wings.

Sunward I've climbed and joined the
tumbling mirth of sun -sprit clouds and

a hundred things you have not dreamed
of.

And wheeled and soared and swung high in
the sunlit silence.

Hovering there.

I've chased the shouting wind along.

Flung my eager craft through footless
halls of air.

Up.

Up.

Long, delirious burning blue.

I've topped the windswept heights with
easy grace.

Where never lark or even eagle flew.

While the silent lifting mind I've trod.

untrustfast sanctity of space.

Put out my hand and touched the face of
God.

John Gillespie McGee, Jr. I told you, no
poetry.

It's my weakness.

Three years of university.

Sign up.

Spent two months bobbing across the
Pacific on a rough bucket.

Through the Panama Canal, being bounced
up the Atlantic, boofed down the St.

Lawrence, banged on a train, get here,
meet you, find out you've got a soft

for poetry, and only bloody well know
one.

It's criminal.

Well, maybe you can recite it again for
me sometime.

It's a date.

The Pacific, the Atlantic, Panama,
wherever that is.

Hell, I've only been to Winnipeg once.

Where haven't you been?

Nothing wrong with this place.

In fact, I can't think of anywhere I'd
rather be right now than here with you.

Don't you stop.

Is that an order or a question?

God, you've got more lines than a CPR.

I'm a married woman, you know. You can't
talk to me like that.

You probably got run out of Australia
for carrying on like this.

I just had the strangest feeling I'd
been here before with you.

It's all so familiar.

You're probably overheated.

No, no.

It's like I've experienced this before.

Well, there's a word for it.

Déjà vu.

Yeah. Déjà vu.

I've had that feeling before.

Everybody's plan is dead.

I even know what happened next.

Deja vu, eh?

I know what happens next.

What?

Takes her back to the chapel.

Did I meet again?

We dispense navigational instruction in
very large doses, so if a necessity

arises and your navigator is killed or
crippled, you may assume his duties.

Your crew will be delighted to know that
you actually know where the hell you

are, how to get to the target, and maybe
even how to get home without having to

use the iron beam.

So consider this all very seriously,
gentlemen.

Wouldn't want you falling out of the sky
and scaring the hell out of some poor

unsuspecting farmer or fisherman, would
we?

Very well, that's all for today.

Look out.

I'll take the burnt one.

Another letter, Scotty?

One a day.

Good as an apple, I reckon.

You've been gone a long time.

Yeah, well, it's funny times, these.

Pulls some people away from each other,
throws others together.

That's life for you.

No matter how smart you think you bloody
are, there's really no way of knowing

what's going to happen from one moment
to the next.

It's like crossing through one big dark
room for a disappointment and surprise.

I mean, you're bound to bump into
something.

No sense trying to figure it out in
advance, OK?

Best to feel your way along.

You're quite a philosopher, especially
for an Aussie.

Do me a favour, give it a rest.

Can't sheep or something.

Right you are, mate.

I'm running up at the mouth a bit.

Just because I'm feeling good these
days.

You see, I recently bumped into one of
them surprises.

Fair dinkum, she's lovely.

So you're going to have to forgive me.

Send her my regards, will you?

Send yours my regrets?

That's good.

Boom! There goes the Brandon Railway
Station.

You seem in good spirits these days,
Wallaby.

Yeah, I am.

Is that permitted, sir?

Better be, or we're both in trouble.

A woman?

As a matter of fact, uh... Yeah.

How'd you know?

The spring in your step.

Shows?

Like a bad stain.

You know, I think war brings you out the
best in a woman.

Especially this war.

How's that?

Well, compared to all those German boys
trying to take over the world.

We probably look a lot better than we
actually are.

Who's the lucky lady?

I'd rather not say if that's all right.

So should we bomb the railway station
again or try for the officer's mess?

You do that too long, you'll go blind.

I'm only going to do it until I need
specs.

Nigel, I think you need them now.

Look, Lachlan, if you say anything,
it'll mean dishonorable discharge for

of us.

I figure that's just what happened.

Takes all kinds.

Yeah, well, if I was on water, too, I
suppose.

And then there's Scotty.

I mean, this fellow is missing a few
dots on his dice for sure.

I found out the other day he's had his
wings for over a year. He used to ferry

bombers across the pond.

But they sent him back for retraining
because he developed this nasty habit of

taking the big kites up for a joyride
now and again without asking the old man

for the keys, if you know what I mean.

What a bunch of colourful characters
around here these days.

Colourful? Hell, we're all peacocks.

Speaking of birds, I'd better get that
one back in its cage.

They only give it to me for a couple of
hours. Don't want to put my luck.

Since when?

Thanks for the tea.

Saturday?

Get going.

I don't know.

We'll have to see how your luck holds
out.

Getting into Brandon with Kate's family
for the weekend.

You want to come along?

Thanks, mate.

Better hit the books.

What do you mean? You know that stuff
like the back of your hand.

Want to pass with flying colors?

Want to go around what?

Right, you are, John. I want to go all
the way around. Office of material. Me,

mate. Thanks anyway. Next time.

Have fun.

I am just thinking about it.

Drink, would you, you stupid shit?

Mom! Marion said shit!

Marion, stop it. And Charlie, it's just
as bad to repeat it.

Thanks, Charlie.

Hi.

How are you?

Good. How are you and the little
darlings?

Oh, the little darlings are fine.

I'm managing to keep body and soul
together. Not bad for wartime. Good on

That's kind of why I came out here.

You think you and I could do a little
bit of business?

Of course.

Terrific. Can I take that, please?

A gentleman, I see. Well, I try on
occasions.

I love horses.

I'd like to come out for a ride.

Anytime.

Get on with you.

If you can be a man at night, you can be
a man in the morning.

So rise and shine.

What's for breakfast?

Don't worry, Dad.

I'll feel better real soon.

Will you mail this to Frank for me?

I'm letting Frank in on the big news.

Sure, a change of scenery wouldn't help.

That'd be real nice, Dad, but I just
don't feel up to the car trip.

I'd be tossing my toes before I hit the
bottom of the lane.

Okay, what about this one right here?
No.

This one? No.

No peeking, Johnny. It's bad luck.

Okay, if you want to get there before
the store is closed, we better get

I don't know. I'm so excited. I can't
think straight anymore.

You never could.

Don't worry. The second you see it,
you'll know it's going to be the right

What if I find two and I can't decide?

Get married twice.

You're so practical, Dad. And punctual.
Start her up, Johnny.

Your wedding dress is so perfect.

Marry me, Betsy.

Listen to you.

You sound like some glazed 18 -year -old
flyer who's just been with me for the

first time.

Thinks I've got the patent on it.

I'm serious.

The kids like me.

You like me.

Yeah.

So? So we could work the farm instead of
you having to lease it out.

You're from Chicago.

What do you know about farming?

Nothing.

But you put in the crop the first year
he was gone, so it can't be that hard.

You can teach me.

Oh, Zeke.

I'm a woman with history.

I think you could do better than that,
huh?

You don't believe that any more than I
do.

Yeah, well, I can't exactly see you
taking me home to meet your mother.

Hell no, of course not.

She died when I was eight.

That's not funny.

Well, yeah.

I see it.

You've been surviving, teaching our boys
how to love.

I've been teaching them to fly so they
can deliver bombs on target.

I've flown enough operations to know
that I didn't always hit the bullseye.

Now, I figure if you and I are standing
in front of the pearly gates...

They let you in long before me.

I'm the one with history.

So why haven't you married before now?

I've been waiting on you to say yes.

Yeah. Well, I already did.

To the wrong guy.

Don't worry about that.

If the Jerrys don't get him, we'll hunt
the bastard down and divorce him.

I'm here to take you to the seaside,
madam.

It's a lake.

Not today, it isn't.

I've never been to the seaside.

Fair dinkum.

What?

Fair dinkum.

Australian, I mean.

Honest, real.

Um, truth.

I didn't know you had your own language.

Bloody oath we do.

You want me to teach you? Yes.

Don't do it, Charlie.

You might hit me.

It's not fair. She did it on purpose.

Oh, dry up.

She planned it. I know she did.

Bullshit. Marion, watch your mouth. And
don't you even think about it.

Now drop it.

Drop the rock.

Drop it.

All right, get in the house. Both of
you, change your clothes.

Uncle Zeke's taking us to town today.

You heard your mother. Now get.

I swear I'm going to cut that girl's
tongue out.

There's only thing left to do.

I'd try bribery first, Beth. It's a lot
less men.

One, two, three, four. One, two, three,
four.

You want to try it?

One might refer to that as a bonzer
billabong.

A bonzer billabong? Yeah.

Well, bonzer means terrific.

And billabong, that's aboriginal. It
means waterhole.

And that... And that is one terrific
waterhole.

Tea cattle. Philly.

Countryside. Bush.

Um, cattle ranch.

Station.

Cattle man.

Grazier. Basic down -to -earth Aussie
like me. There's no such thing, bloke.

Carry sweat.

Both mature.

You know, Lil, in Australia we swim in
the nude.

How bold of you.

But then you are a pretty proud bunch,
aren't you?

Aren't you afraid of the shark?

Oh, no, no.

They don't embarrass that easy.

Well, that's true.

And besides, they're probably interested
in much bigger fish.

And that's why Canadians don't swim in
the nude.

Stop

it!

Stop it!

So silly.

Something wrong?

I didn't want to get my hair wet.

Okay. Here's the deal.

It's everyone's birthday on the 16th or
the 17th. I'm not sure. A couple of

weeks from now.

If you don't say one single cuss word
between now and then, I'll buy you that

dress for the party.

Not one single one?

Not one single one.

Well, it sure is pretty.

I'll try down hard, Mom. Marion?

Well, you never said start.

Start. Deal.

Come on, Terrence.

Worth a try?

If it works, she'll have a whole new
wardrobe by Christmas.

Wow. Look who's in town.

And looking good.

Is that the captain's old leaf?

Couldn't say.

That is bad.

Afternoon, gentlemen.

Didn't know you were a family.

Well, now you know.

That's right.

Now I know.

That's why I never shop anywhere near
these parts.

What?

No reason.

Doesn't bother me.

Bullshit.

Mom.

Sorry.

Not one single one.

What's it like?

What?

Where you live.

Big country.

Oh, Lil.

You're going to make me homesick.

Beautiful.

Rugged.

Lots of bush and pretty beaches.

But not where I was born, Cloncurry.
That's the outback.

There's a whole lot of bugger all.

People are good, though.

Good. You can do a lot worse.

A fair bit like Canadians.

Our pioneer spirit.

Take the odd chance.

If we make a fool of ourselves, join in
the laughing.

Pretty much take life as it comes.

Grab a hold of the moment and live it.

After all, at the end of the day, that's
what it amounts to, isn't it?

A collection of moments.

I never thought of it that way.

Well, you've got good ones and bad ones.

But they're all special if they stand
out.

Like now.

Once you've had a moment, it stays with
you forever.

You never lose it.

Better than stamps, I reckon.

Or rocks.

No,

not with me, Lachlan.

You see, I'm really not here.

I'd never be here with you.

Here with someone else.

Someone who's just playing pretend.

She isn't real.

Seems pretty real to me.

You see, I'm married.

And you're going off to war.

That's real.

Fair enough.

Don't take offense.

I'm sure glad she could come today
instead of you.

You see, she and I pretend so well you'd
swear to God it was real.

I'm glad she came too.

Lil, it's a havoc.

They say our boys find these things so
low over the English Channel they get

water on the windshield.

Yep, well I guess I'll find out for
myself soon enough.

Doesn't the idea frighten you?

Me?

Hell yeah, what do you think I am,
stupid?

That's what he's running from.

Oh no!

They come up fast here, shit!

What? I didn't want to get my hair wet.

Any second now.

Brother Swaggo, don't forget Tucker.
It's a good fit now, you bloody bonger,

you. Now, won't you hear that's my
thing?

It is, you know.

I'm proud of you, eh?

I'm afraid to close my eyes.

I might fall asleep and wake up on a

troop ship halfway across the Atlantic
and realize I was just dreaming.

It was a dark and stormy night.

Do I know you?

We're friends of life's urgency.

He told us all about your little service
club.

Really?

Thought we'd come for a nightcap.

Well, bar's open. Care for a drink?

Great.

Make yourselves at home, boys.

How about the music?

Why not?

It's a hell of a clubhouse.

Peggy, what's a nice girl like you doing
in a bar?

Well, I used to make sports in here when
I was a little kid.

Guess I never grew out of it.

Well, we should get you out of your damn
clothes.

You're like a little girl. You don't
waste any time, do you?

You're a Canadian back bacon.

Spain is where I come from.

So, hey.

I think I'm going to need a drink
myself, okay?

You know, I hate to generalize, but
where I come from,

you boys are known for your fat wallet
and your

big mouth.

Seems to fit in your case.

Bitch, you bitch!

Back off!

Or I'll blow them up.

You are one stupid whore.

Shut your filthy mouth.

And you open your wallet. That'll be two
bucks for the booze, boys.

Come on, I got it.

Just get out of here. Bitch, wait.

And don't you even bother telling me
you'll be back, you stupid little

I'll shoot you right now.

I'll say hi to Zeke for you.

He did mention you might be dropping in.

And leap into the waterfall.

You'll never catch me alive, said he.

And his ghost may be heard as you pass
by that waterfall.

You'll come a -waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda.

As you pass by that waterhole, you
become a

wolf in Matilda with me.

I think it loses something in the
translation, don't you? Yeah, what?

we've been on the duo across the channel
yesterday suddenly the cat burned it

was quite a show wasn't it

How well do you know, dear Joe?

Not at all. I mean, I've been talking to
him, but he doesn't say much. He spends

most of his time writing to her.

2 -5 -5 -7, identify yourself.

The March break is just now.

We got to talk him down. Who the hell is
he? Come in, 255 or 7. Come in.

He won't respond.

Talk to him.

Do it.

Scotty, it's Lachlan here.

Your next door neighbor, the Aussie
philosopher.

I'm glad you're enjoying airing out your
head, mate, but, uh...

You're making the people down here a bit
nervous.

They told me to ask you down for a pint.
What do you say?

Ah, Scotty.

Time to settle down, mate.

Come on.

It's getting late. I've got to tell the
chief.

Go ahead, Plato.

Let me keep you up.

Back to you, sweaty.

There's a big black room up here.

He's going to feel my way along.

See if I can bump into something fast.

Scotty!

Snap out of it!

Off again, huh?

Yep.

You've been riding more in the past few
weeks than you have in the last two

years.

Yeah.

Well, I realize I haven't been paying
her the attention she needs lately.

Be careful, Lil.

Don't let her get away on you.

Come on.

I've been thinking about you all day.
Really?

Well, I spent the day again trying not
to think about you.

But it didn't work.

Something wrong?

Yeah.

And I'm looking at him.

Are you okay?

Sure.

Just realized we're running out of time,
you know.

Well, we never really had any.

All right, Charlie, here you go. Right
down the middle.

Oh, shit!

Careful, Marion.

You've still got a couple of days to go.

You won't tell, will you?

Play ball.

I see you landed one.

But then... you land them all.

Oh dear, you'll have to change.

I'm sorry.

When I watched the car coming up the
lane, I knew that it was coming

with that telegram.

Somehow I just knew.

But I didn't know if it was going to
have Frank's name on it or Dennis.

And then I realized that

deep inside of me, I was starting to
make a choice.

If only one could be alive, which one
did I want it to be?

And by the time he reached me, I
actually found myself hoping that it

Frank's name on it.

My brother would be alive.

And I'd still love you.

For a while.

God help me.

What kind of a woman am I?

He's my husband.

I remember loving him so much.

It's not a fair choice to have to make,
though.

I feel like I'm being punished.

But other people are getting hurt.

Dennis only lasted a week. It was his
second mission.

It's not your fault.

I can't see you anymore, Lachlan.

It's too difficult. It's too confusing.

It's like there's these two different
people inside of me trying to tell me

I feel.

And I don't know which one is real
anymore.

Maybe they both are.

It doesn't work that way.

That doesn't mean it's not true.

I was lonely, Lachlan.

I was just thinking about myself.

And maybe I'm like all you guys who are
so quick to join up and go off to

battle.

You're not thinking about what could
really happen.

You're just thinking about the adventure
and the excitement.

Well, that's all you were to me.

A little excitement.

Nothing more than that.

You could have been anyone.

When there's a lot about you, I never
got to know.

But there's someone in there I did.

Don't be too hard on.

Because I care for her very much.

Well, isn't this a tender scene?

Anne.

Anne, no, wait. You don't understand.

It seems obvious enough.

Anne, no.

Just leave, would you?

Just leave me alone.

You don't belong here.

You never did.

I love you, Lou.

Well, that's been happening.

I've been seeing him wherever and
whenever I could.

And I wanted you to hear it from me
before I go back to you from everywhere

else.

If I had these left, if he wanted to
live over again, I'm not sure I'd change

thing.

He made me feel alive.

How can you say something like that?

You're a married woman, for God's sake.
What do you know?

You're going to do the same thing I did.
Marry your sweetheart one day and kiss

him goodbye the next.

You'll understand after you've been
sitting on ice for two or three years

waiting for Johnny to come marching home
trying to remember what he even looks

like I Can't believe you're talking like
this

what's happened to you?

I'm at the wrong man

I'm going to go upstairs and write Frank
before that little bitch does.

Well,

don't you have anything to say?

Yeah, I feel sorry for her.

Had to give up a lot already, and now
she has to give up even more.

I feel sorry for all of them.

You son of a...

You know what the average life
expectancy of a bummer pilot is it's six

bloody weeks Johnny

And the way you fly, I figure you're
only good for two.

So why are you so intent on making a
widow out of the poor girl? You really

how to lift a guy's spirits, you know
that? We're going into war, Johnny.

You can't take her with you anyway.

Being married wouldn't change that.

She says she'll be here for me when I
get back.

Well, you're a lucky man.

At least you get to come back.

We're a dangerous pair of sisters, mate.

You're not too safe yourself.

I'm so proud of you. You actually did
it.

Why do I have to walk up the bloody
lane?

Well, why don't you just drive me?

Because.

Mrs. Snyder's a finicky bird and we
don't quite see eye to eye. Besides,

Charlie's already late for the dinner.
So, just have fun, okay?

Okay, bye.

doing here?

Hard enough to be old for another hour.

What's going on?

The goddamn party was yesterday.

Oh, shit.

Managed to hit anything?

LHD curry?

Every time I cackle at night, nothing
but bullseye.

Nothing but bullshit.

You'll be heading home soon, Nigel.

This is the last hour and this baby
together.

Got a good day for it.

Fork's gone.

Fork's starboard. I have control.

Full rudder right. Full swing right.
Hang on, Nigel.

Nigel?

Nigel!

Stop!

I'll come any closer, it's gonna blow!

I said stop!

Nigel's dead.

I'm all twisted and stuck.

My legs are broke.

Shit.

Embarrassing.

They're coming for you, see?

Listen, Wallaby, I don't want to burn.

You know what I'm saying?

No, not you.

He pulls that trigger, you shoot him,
you say I would have made it.

You got to be a Casey.

Listen.

If I'm not, tell Betsy I'll be waiting
for her at the gate.

What? Just tell her I'll be waiting.

Some people have to work for every
single thing they get.

That's supposed to be a virtue, right?

Well, I have.

But it doesn't mean it can't be taken
away just like that.

So much for virtue.

Couldn't have.

I didn't know myself for sure.

I was worried about him.

And you.

I wake up.

Not until he's across the Atlantic.

He's a good hand.

So are you.

LAC Pro, R -87 -64 -23.

Congratulations.

Lucky, lucky.

LAC, hurry.

69, 42, 69.

Congratulations. LAC 4.

R -22 -48 -62.

I take home.
