Chris Lucey.

Luce!

Win.

No, I'm going.

Cut.

Okay.

Yeah, what's up?

I've got to tell you.

Why are we going in the office?

Well, can't you tell me here?

Stu's been killed.

How?

I had to make a forced landing. Didn't see a fence.

Plane flipped.

That makes two.

Two what?

Two of the guys I trained with have checked out in the last six months.

Absolutely, Jimbo.

Yeah, when the plane goes up, sometimes it's going to come down the wrong way.

It's physics.

I've been waiting for you.

G'day, Chip.

I thought you were dead.

Yeah.

Bummer.

Why'd you go and do a thing like that?

Don't blame me.

Pretty stupid place to pull a fence, I reckon.

So what can I do for you?

How about a lift?

Heaven.

We're about to pull the gates or what?

Mile low clock.

Mile low clock? Where's that?

Dead centre.

It's a top spot.

Set up a pile if you die in plane crashes.

Sounds better than hard practice.

I wouldn't worry about it, mate.

You're Nick.

Nick. Have you spoken to Annie yet? Yeah, she's picking us up in half an

Great, I can't wait.

Oh, Nick.

I thought you and Scotty had it out and you told him it wasn't on.

We have and it's not.

Oh, but now he's taking you away.

He's not taking me away. I'm taking him. He's never been gliding.

Oh, how very nice. They're teaching him to glide.

We're just going together.

Oh, well, I'm Lexi. All alone for two days in a tent.

Excuse me, two tents. I'm sharing with Anna. He's in the other one.

Lex, your tunnel.

So we take off, and there's this strange wind rattling the plane and these weird

noises.

And, like, the instruments are going crazy, right? So I, like, I lean over to

him and I say, you know, where are we going? And he says... Heaven.

Dead set.

Yeah, well, it really put the wind up me, cos... I don't know.

I really don't know.

What?

What do you reckon I should have charged him?

I reckon I've had lots of charters from hell, but never one going the other way.

Mm.

So how did it end? What?

Your dream. How did it finish?

Oh, I don't know. I woke up.

Hey, Chris.

Do you reckon maybe Stu just, I don't know, lost it?

Maybe he just didn't have what it took anymore?

No. It was an accident.

Accidents happen. Planes go down.

Sometimes there's no explanation for it.

That's just the way it is.

Sorry for the delay.

You're the pilot?

Yeah. What star sign are you?

Gemini. Oh, my God.

What, is that bad?

Gemini must not concentrate on anything.

Don't worry, I'm a good pilot.

You're the opposite, it's fine.

I've got Saturn in my sphere.

It's OK.

Bad luck. It's OK, nothing's going to happen. Oh, I should beware of journeys.

I know, shouldn't be doing this.

Charlie Tango Delta, ready.

Charlie Tango Delta, await Cessna Bravo Delta Zulu.

Then you're clear for takeoff.

You're next.

You're next.

Sorry, what did you say?

Charlie Tango Delta, clear for takeoff.

Charlie Tango Delta, reporting take -off.

Charlie Tango Delta, confirm operation to normal. What's happening?

There's something wrong, isn't it?

Right engine noise.

Do you require services?

No, no, I'm okay.

Charlie Tango Delta, take next taxi lift.

You all right?

I knew something would go wrong. I knew it.

Oh, Jim and I of all people.

What happened?

I heard a noise. What sort of noise?

Like a vibrating, the right engine.

Did you lose power?

No.

Weird. Check it out.

Well, you'd better get Echo Whiskey ready.

You've got to get these people to park.

I can't, I can't, Chris, I can't. Why not?

She freaked out. She won't fly with me. You've got to do it.

There's no way, mate. I'm scheduled for Albury. Look, she won't fly with me. She

says I'm bad luck. Look, I can't, OK? I just can't.

That's it.

Now hold the glider in station behind the tug.

Let it fly itself.

So strange.

So many instruments missing. I'm supposed to know what's going on.

God, he trusts the plane.

It's a glider. They glide.

Okay, we're at 3 ,000. Time to release, yeah?

It sure is.

Pull the bow and we're on our way.

All right.

Can

you feel the

right wing going up? Yeah. It's a thermal. Now turn right and centre in.

What's your rate of fly?

Eight knots.

Eight knots. Fantastic. Go for it. All right.

Okay, Jimbo, what's the story?

What do you mean, what's the story?

Ronnie says there's nothing wrong with the aircraft.

Maybe Ronnie should look a bit harder.

He has looked harder.

What are you suggesting?

I'm not suggesting anything.

I'm asking you a question.

Like I said, I was there.

I heard a noise.

That was so good.

That was so good.

I take it you're glad you came.

Oh, what are you kidding?

That was the best, man. That was totally excellent. When I caught that thermal,

it was like it was just me flying. There wasn't even a plane there at all. Yeah,

you bet.

Who needs engines?

I'm going to go up by myself tomorrow.

I thought you liked gliding with me.

Yeah, I do, all right. I just want to be able to do it by myself, that's all.

Thanks for inviting me along.

It was the best. I had the best day.

You know, it's the first time we've spent more than a couple of hours

outside of work.

Why, you didn't think that we could?

No, I just... I'm having a really good time too.

I'm glad you're here.

So, what time will I see you guys in the morning? Six, seven?

Connie, we're on holidays.

I've created a monster.

See you at six then.

Are you sure you guys are going to be all right by yourselves?

I'm sure we'll cope.

Well, just remember, if you get scared during the night, I'm right over there.

Out.

Night, girls.

Night, Scotty. Night, Scotty.

You're sure you're going to be all right by yourself?

Night, Scotty.

Morning. Jimbo!

Oh, what have I got today?

No more fruit loops like yesterday, I hope.

Fruit loops?

Chris, come on, remember that woman who wouldn't fly with me yesterday? You

know,

statistically speaking, plane travel is extremely safe.

She's more likely to get hit by a car or fall down the stairs and bump her head

than die in a plane crash.

I think you're being a little unfair on her, don't you?

I'm just being rational.

In the history of aviation, the incidence of plane crashes forms...

An incredibly small percentage.

I'm right, aren't I? That's got nothing to do with it.

It's an irrational fear. It's a phobia. We've all got it. Oh, really? What's

yours?

Cockroaches. But they're harmless.

Yeah, but I... The way they wave their... Yeah, but the point is, it's

to affect your entire life, is it? Can you imagine not being able to fly in a

plane? How debilitating that would be?

Why is she getting you like that? She's not. She's not. It's just people like

that don't make sense.

I was watching. You've got some great thermals. It's amazing. I'm telling you,

it's better than... Go on. Yeah, lots of things.

Kirsty.

Hey, Kirsty.

Hello. Hey.

What are you doing here? What do you think? You know, you're a glider. I've

started. Oh, isn't it the greatest feeling?

Oh,

sorry. Kirsty, this is Lexi. Oh. Hi.

Hi.

You two are obviously old friends.

Yeah, you could say that.

So why did you break up with her? It just ain't really nice.

Well, I thought she'd broken up with this other bloke, but I'd rather not go

into it.

Hey.

What's your stuff doing in there?

Oh. Anna got a call from her dad and her brother was in some car accident and

she had to go.

Is that all right?

Well, she could have left you the tent.

No, I told her to take it.

So you're moving in with me?

Well, it's only for one night. I thought you wouldn't mind.

Have I told you what a good time I'm having here?

Jimbo called in thick.

I see.

He's due to take a flight to Byron. Why hasn't he gone?

I saw him a minute ago. He's on his way.

Well, he hasn't. The plane's still out there.

Jimbo, what's going on? You've got a plane waiting.

I don't know.

Well, what is it?

Bad luck comes in threes.

I'm next in line for the mile -low club.

The mile -low club?

I always knew I wasn't going to die in a plane crash, you know.

I don't know how, I just... Somehow I knew it, you know, inside.

I knew it wasn't going to happen to me.

Now I know.

I just lost it.

Don't worry about it. You just spooked.

We can fix that.

You reckon?

Yeah, I'll come with you.

All it takes is one flight. Come on, let's go.

I guarantee we won't crash.

You don't have to do a thing. All you've got to do is sit there.

I'll do the driving.

If we can get you up there, it's fine.

Do you mind?

This is the way to be.

Would you

stop?

Would you stop, please?

Chris, we'll just stop the plane, please. All right, mate, you're doing

No, no, really, please, just stop, please.

I've really got to get out.

Please, for God's sake, I've got to get out.

Okay, I'm stopping.

Don't worry, we'll go back.

Thanks.

Sorry. Okay.

Listen, Jimmo, I don't know much about this stuff.

But what I do know is the more you brood, the worse it gets.

I'm not brooding. If you are.

Why don't you just talk about it? Get it out.

He was your friend for a long time.

It'll take a while to get over.

I'm all right. No, you're not.

If you were, you'd be fine.

So.

Hi. You enjoying the gliding?

Yeah, yeah, you bet.

Um, that girl, uh, Lexi, is she your girlfriend?

Lex, no, no, she, um, we work together at Big Sky.

It's really good to see you again.

Look, I'm sorry about that mix -up at Tony's that night.

Don't worry about it. No, I felt terrible.

Anyway, we've broken up again.

Did you hear?

No, I didn't.

What did she turn to you in?

The one down the end there, the green one.

Are you sharing with her?

Well, yeah, yeah, but it doesn't mean anything.

I mean, she owns it, but we're not on together, and it's just... It's

convenient, that's all.

Get rid of her.

I'm sorry?

You heard.

Why don't you get rid of her tonight?

He's been flying for years. Why all of a sudden?

I think he took Stu's death pretty badly.

What are we going to do about it?

But we'd better try something.

Yeah, but what?

I have no idea.

My problem with Jimbo is that I can't even begin to understand how this could

happen to anyone. I'm trying to understand. I'm trying to be patient.

But part of me just wants to yell at him to snap out of it.

And I know he wishes he could.

And I don't like thinking about him this way, but... You know, in some way, it'd

be much easier if he had a broken leg.

Then we could see the problem and we'd know how long it'd take to fix.

Maybe he should see someone with a bit of expertise.

Yeah.

Look, we'd never get Jimbo to see a shrink.

So what do we do?

Do we give him time off? Do we find him something else to do?

It's worth a try.

Does

this

mean I've got the sack?

Don't be ridiculous. Of course not.

You're a good pilot. I don't want to lose you.

But maybe you should think about taking some time off.

And do what?

Stay at home and go mad? I'd rather keep coming to work.

Okay, then.

Why don't we find you a desk job?

Just to take the pressure off until you feel you can fly again.

Desk job? What does that mean?

Sweeping up around the place?

Among other things.

Lauren, I'm a pilot.

No, you're not.

Pilots fight planes. You're not a pilot. Not anymore.

Lex!

Listen, I've been thinking.

Are you sure you want to be in the tent with me?

What do you mean?

Well, look, I know that I've come on to you a bit in the past, and you fit.

Oh, a lot. And, uh... Are you sure you want to sleep with me?

Scotty, do you mean sleep with you or sleep in a tent with you?

Both.

Exactly what do you mean?

Well, I mean, maybe it'd be better if you slept somewhere else.

That way you wouldn't have to worry about me.

That's so sweet.

Look. I'm okay.

I'm happy to share a tent with you.

What, are you sure?

Positive.

You've been so nice.

Such a change.

Good.

Coddy? Hmm?

Know something?

What?

I'm glad you know.

Nothing ever happened between us.

I didn't think you ever wanted it to.

I thought about it once or twice.

Really?

Yeah, but I'm glad it never did.

Because it would have wrecked our friendship.

And it's really good, isn't it, all this?

Yeah.

I mean, I think I've been a bit hard on you in the past. You know, I thought you

had a one -track mind.

But here we are having a really good time just being friends.

Yeah, right.

Where are you going?

I've got to have a leak.

I'll be back soon.

No good. She wouldn't go. We're going to have to call it off.

Great.

Hurry up, mate.

It's got him.

Wake up.

Maxie, what are you doing here?

Where's Scotty?

Get out!

Get out!

What do you want? Get out!

I'm sorry. Get out!

I'm sorry.

Where's Kirsty? She said something about meeting some gorgeous guy.

She said that?

Looks like the wires got crossed.

Yeah, I...

I'm sorry. That's okay.

You're welcome to wait until she gets back.

Yeah, thanks. Anyway, but I'd better find out where she's gone.

Oh, yeah, I've been going to the Nationals for years now. Never win

Me neither.

Funny we haven't met before. Do you go in the doubles or the singles?

Doubles. And it's not my regular partner. I usually... I'm sorry.

Where have you been?

And I thought you were just trying to be nice or something.

I've been trying to find you.

At the tent?

You didn't wake up Maxine, did you? Well, I was supposed to know someone

was going to be there.

Maxine? Not Maxine Thompson.

Yeah. Oh, she gave me my first gliding lesson. I haven't seen her for ages.

Maxine, over here.

Some strange guy came into our tent. I just want to make sure you're okay. Hey,

look. Hello.

Hang on.

You run into fables.

Oh, Jimbo.

Yeah?

Go and pick up my dry cleaning, will you?

It's a new clean just down the road.

What's wrong with you?

You're kidding.

I'm not your errand boy.

Oh?

Well, what are you then?

Look, don't worry about it, Jimbo. I've got to go out. I'll do it for you. Jay.

Let him do it.

Yeah, now, are we doing these schedules or not?

What's wrong with you? Why are you being so horrible?

Me? He's the one with the problem.

to meself.

Come on, come on, come on, take off, let's go.

Love you again.

Oh, it's nice to see you too, mate. You can't keep doing this, Stu, you can't

keep hanging around me all the time. What do you mean?

I'm your mate.

Yeah, but you're dead, you're decomposing.

You're not looking so hot yourself, buddy.

Echo, Whiskey, Victor, you are cleared for removal of the partner.

Contact departures airborne.

You are clear for takeoff. Echo Whiskey Victor.

I want to die, Stu.

Come on, mate.

You can't let me do this by myself.

You can't do that to me.

I have to.

But we used to do everything together.

Hey, I wasn't ready either.

I had all these plans, all this stuff I wanted to do.

This is all wrong.

It's a big mistake.

I know. I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it.

I don't want to leave everyone behind. It's not fair.

I never wanted you to go, stupid. You have to.

Jimbo!

You can't do this to me.

Please.

I've lost you.

I just thought I'd try, um, I don't know, aversion therapy.

I thought if I could make you feel bad enough about giving up, you'd give him

another go.

But don't you think that's like a sort of facile, simplistic solution to a deep

-seated psychological problem?

That worked, didn't it?

Well, as a matter of fact, I, um, I had a bit of a chat with Stu. That's what

worked it out.

You spoke to Stu?

Oh, Stu's ghost.

Well, just spirit, I guess. If that's what you believe in, you know. A

psychologist would call it a manifestation of my subconscious, I

I wonder what part it was, even my ego.

Super ego.

Thanks.

Your super ego is where fear and anxiety comes from.

Why didn't you tell me that rather than make me feel bad?

What do you think, I'm a shrink?

What's all that?

I'm not nothing.

You're an idiot.
