Pippa, Pippa, Pippa, Pippa, Pippa, Pippa, Pippa.

Loving you, baby, is like riding a big tipper.

Pippa, Pippa, Pippa, Pippa, Pippa, Pippa, Pippa, Pippa. You've got to hold

kiss and touch and lick my little lips.

Matt?

Jimbo? Hey!

Stop, mate!

Where have you been? What have you been up to?

I don't know. A bit of this, a bit of that.

Hey, I haven't seen you since that night at Sylvia's. Don't remind me about it.

It took me years to get over that.

That'd be right.

Hey, what about Posse Thomas that night?

Have you seen him lately?

No, I haven't seen him for years. Last I heard, he went up bush.

So you got yourself married? Me? Married? No way. I mean, I came pretty

once, but me and married... Jimba, can I turn that music off? Oh, yeah.

So what's with the fancy dress?

Oh, I'm a pilot.

Yeah? Yeah.

Aeroplane? Yeah.

What, Antep? No, no, it's like a small charter company, Big Sky.

That's why it's written on my shirt. Can you do us a favour, Digger, and throw

us that mask in the back? Yeah, sure.

What, this one?

Yeah.

Anyway, better not hold you up.

Good to see you, man. Yeah, cheers.

Well, you know, give us a call at Big Sky.

Yeah, no worries.

Okay. Catch you later. See you around.

Hey! Hey!

Isn't there an automatic bar?

Yeah.

Then put it on.

Even when it's on, I should stay in the cockpit.

You're making this very hard for me.

Great.

I've got no idea what you're talking about, mate. Okay, okay, look,

hypothetically, okay? You know this guy, right?

You're walking down the street. You bump into the guy on the street, huh? All

right, so this guy I know bumps into another bloke. No, no.

Yeah, okay, look, it doesn't matter. But the point is the guy that you bumped

into on the street might be possibly a crim.

I bump into or the guy that I know? Look, the point is you witness a crime.

What's he doing, beating someone up or something? No, no, no, nothing like

no. He's, say, driving a car.

And? Wearing a Prince Charles mask.

It's Prince Charles, eh? For example.

Yeah, I'm sorry, Steve. I just don't feel the same way.

I can't help that.

No.

No, no, I really want to be friends.

Steve?

He took that really well.

How come? I thought you really liked him.

I do.

You know, he's really sweet.

I don't know, there's something missing. He just doesn't... Make the earth move?

Yeah, exactly. You know, it should be like the movies.

I want the music to swirl and the sky to spin and I want a kiss that goes on and

on forever.

Shay, there's a reason you only ever see that in the movies. That's because it

isn't real.

Wait a second, why not?

Because it just isn't. I've never met anyone who's done that to me.

Never.

Well... Some have come close, but nothing like making the room spin. I've

had too much to drink.

Yeah, well, just because you haven't experienced it, Lex, doesn't mean they

don't exist.

It's not realistic, that's all.

Oh, boy, you're lucky you have people like me in the world, otherwise you

realists wouldn't find anyone to fall in love with.

G'day.

For Jimbo James.

What else? Well, then these other guys are right.

How many? Two, maybe.

Two?

Right. What?

They're all wearing royal family masks, eh?

Possibly, but then they all nick off, OK? And then this big fat guy arrives

he's got a gun and he wants to shoot.

Mate,

last time I saw you I was in a bit of a hurry, eh?

Mac, this is Scotty Gibbs.

Scotty? You stacked any planes yet, has he?

Yeah, a couple.

Is that all?

So what line of work are you in, mate?

Line of work?

Ah, bit of this, bit of that.

You know how it is?

No.

How is it?

Who is this guy?

Mr Quizmaster?

Mac, I've actually... I've really got to get going.

I don't know, do you want to come along for the ride?

It's a little bit bumpy up to there.

Where are you staying?

I don't know.

Anywhere, as long as it's not a prawn trawler.

I'm just going to hit those streets and just let it happen.

You into clubbing?

I try and avoid fight.

I meant night clubbing.

Oh, yeah, I'll be doing a few a day.

I'm going to do everything for a couple of days.

And I'm getting married.

Oh, congratulations.

Thanks.

So, she's a Sydney girl, is she?

I don't know yet.

It must be there. It's for Davies.

Pauline Davies.

Oh, you're Pauline Davies.

Apologies, my mistake, Miss Davies. I didn't recognise you. We put you into

Carajong suite. Welcome to Chinning's Resort. I think you'll find...

Chris?

What is it?

Something wrong?

No. No, nothing. Nothing. I just thought I saw someone on the air.

Mac?

Yeah, mate?

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't go to the cops and tell them everything

I saw.

Because you and I have known each other since we were three.

Listen, I had a drive for those guys.

They hit a couple of drongos.

I thought, why not?

Never done it before. Neither have most people. It's against the law.

Yeah, well, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

Didn't get anything.

Nothing? Zilch.

Guy in the pub pulled a gun on them.

Well, they had a gun.

Nah, it was plastic.

They got into a toy shop in Chatswood. Got some 12 bucks.

They couldn't run a bar, those two. Fair dinkum. Hey, still an armed robbery.

What armed robbery?

Now, the fat guy was the one who pulled the gun.

Well, shouldn't be allowed to do that.

Little Rossy on the shame side.

And if you're into live music, I'd try the Red Park. I'll give you a map. They

get some great bands there. Oh, great. I'm into that.

Anywhere else?

Oh, if you like dance music, you can try Mason's.

Saturday nights are usually really wild.

G'day.

Dave. Shane.

Dave, he's a prawn fisherman.

Nice. It is so good to meet you.

Great.

I'm going to get a haircut and a whole new wardrobe first.

I'd better get going, eh?

Mm -hmm.

You're not going anywhere, are you?

No. Right. Well, I'll be seeing you.

I've got this.

Don't leave it lying around.

No worries.

Okay.

What happens next?

What do you think?

Oh, you can't see a thing in here.

Um, I might just grab another towel.

I'll be right here.

Okay.

I've just got to use the bathroom.

I'll be back in a teal.

What are you doing here?

I'm having a weekend away.

So am I.

Who is?

A friend.

Who are you with?

None of your business.

Well, where are the kids?

They're with Mum.

I would have looked after them. But you're here.

Well, if you'd given me a bit of notice. What, you would have booked a different

resort? No, I would have stayed at home.

This is just great.

So, who is he?

Darling, you coming in or what?

Here it is.

Jimbo, you ever fly to Wanda?

Yeah, why?

You think we could do a quick detour?

What's up?

Got married.

Did not.

Did. July 92nd.

Thanks for the invite.

No, there weren't any.

We did it in the registry office and went to the pub. It was horrible.

Okay. Not right then, but later on.

She hates me.

We've got a little girl.

Yeah?

Change your kids.

You don't think they do.

They just get inside you somehow.

I've, um, had better.

You?

Well, in layman's terms, you know, at the end of the day, a

fish is just a fish.

So I thought,

well, why not?

I mean, a Harley is a Harley, and when you're young, you really want one, but

you can't. afford one there's no way i'm compromising my personal credibility

with an honest review of a bad restaurant but i don't want to look like

who's trying to desperately regain lost youth you know of course he hit the roof

the one thing they hate most is litigation but there's an important

here chris what is it

no i agree wholeheartedly i think Personal credibility is very important.

I know.

But that's not the point, you see. The point is... Robbie,

are you listening?

Yeah.

I thought we were going to leave each other alone.

So did I. I was here first.

I couldn't look at Duncan without seeing you.

What move?

What do you reckon, Eddie?

Blueberry pie.

Duncan!

That's his name.

What's he do?

He's a professional person.

Oh, he's a professional person. Well, that narrows it down, doesn't it?

He's not the bloke you take the car to.

No, he's not.

Oh, don't tell me.

Parents without partners?

Stop it.

I mean, what's the name over there? How come she gets everything with her

fingers?

Well, they do that sometimes.

He's a pootie.

He's a piggy.

That's Pauline David.

The food writer?

Mm -hm.

How'd you meet her?

How'd you meet, um... Hmm, so many choices.

Hey, what's this stuff?

So, uh, how'd it go with the missus?

Oh, she wasn't home.

Sorry about that.

So you didn't get a chance to see your little girl?

Nah, mister.

Read your mind, mate.

You're returning away from over here.

Yeah?

And?

I told you.

They didn't get anything.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

At least it's not raining.

Oh, it doesn't make much difference. You can fly in the rain.

No, I'm talking about my car.

Back door feels weak.

My sleeping bag gets soaked.

What, are you living out of your car?

Oh, just for a little while.

Just till I get myself fixed.

There's some food in the fridge. If it growls, it's probably not safe to eat.

I want you to know how much I appreciate this. Seriously.

Yeah, there's a beer in the fridge, I think, so help yourself. I've just got

run. Cheers, mate.

Back already?

Oh, no, no, I just got a bit lost.

So, um, I thought I'd come back here to rearrange the geography.

What?

So, um... Do you like working here?

Yeah.

Well, look, um...

I'm only here for a couple of days, so... Have

you got a boyfriend?

Yeah, I do, actually.

But you're not engaged.

No.

Beauty.

Dave! Hi.

What are you doing here?

Well... Went to one of those clubs you told me about and it was shut.

David, it's only the middle of the afternoon.

Well, I thought you said everything was open all the time.

I meant all night.

Oh, my.

So, um, what kind of joints do you guys like to hang out at?

I've got enough to feed us for a week. I hope you're hungry.

Might be long.

You'll be right.

Oh, you found it? Yeah, I found it. What's it doing on top of my cupboard?

Keeping it for my daughter.

And the way you've been going on, I thought if you saw it, you'd freak.

Of course I'm going to freak, Mac. I'm not stupid.

It's for Cheryl.

Oh, it's for Cheryl, is it?

Well, let's just say it is. Why hide it?

Jimbo, listen to me.

Okay, I shouldn't have put it there.

I'm sorry.

I'm not lying to you.

Really?

Look, if you knocked off someplace, wouldn't I presume you were doing it

I'm sorry, knocked off? I thought you said you didn't get anything.

So it was a crime.

Okay.

I understand that.

I'm fully aware of how it looks.

You're a pilot, right?

Are you telling me that you never bend the rules?

Of course you have.

It's the way the world works, Jimbo. We all know that. Look, I saw an armed

robbery. I should go to the cops.

Yeah.

Yeah, well, maybe you should.

But that would make you a Judas.

And there's moral values more important than the bloody law, I reckon.

Oh, that is great.

My turn next.

That'll be my pleasure.

I should like that.

Sorry.

Don't worry about it.

It's okay.

We have one drink and then say we have to be somewhere else. Dave, we can't be

rude. Well, what are we going to talk about, Paul?

He's all alone. It's not fair to just dump him.

Lexi, I might spend the next few days babysitting some guy, okay?

Hi.

Good to see you.

Hi.

Dave, I really wouldn't leave this lying around.

Oh, it's all right. Sit down.

I'll get you a drink.

Did I tell you he's down here to get married?

No. Thank God for that.

Duncan,

watch out.

Sorry. Hey.

What? Watch where you're swinging that thing.

Oh, it's okay.

Hi there.

Hi.

I'm having such a good time.

So, Dave.

Yeah.

Lexi says you're here to get married.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I can hardly wait. I've been dreaming about it for months.

Ah, your fiancée must be very special.

She sure is.

But she's not my fiancée yet.

Oh, what, you haven't popped a question?

I'm working her up to it.

He's married.

Ed, what are you doing?

It's only for a few days.

Jimbo, he's using you. Oh, you think I don't know that? He's desperate, Scotty.

I mean, he's been living out of his car.

Come on, this guy's bad news. He wears a mask, drives a getaway car. There's

guns here.

Nobody got hurt in any way. The guy was probably insured. What are you talking

about?

You witnessed a daylight robbery.

Look, what do you want me to be, a Judas?

What's more important, friendship or the letter of the law?

You've broken little regulations. Should I dub you in? What's that got to do

with it? Where do you get all this crap? Anyway, he's leaving on Saturday.

Oh, well, that makes it a right thing, doesn't it?

Nice try.

Can't you be a bit more imaginative?

What are you talking about?

Chris, I know you. You would have bopped him in the head and he would have ended

up in the pool.

Robbie, I needed it for shade. You know, slip, flop, slap.

You're paranoid.

Where's Miss Piggy?

Bitchy.

Oh, there it is. What?

Barley. What? Barley, you and me. I bought that towel. What are you talking

about?

This means war, Robbie.

Maybe my expectations are way too high. Robbie, it's great that you believe in

true romance.

I wish I did.

That's stupid.

I mean, I can end up single for the rest of my life because I'm waiting for this

impossible romantic moment that may never happen.

Well, how do you not want it?

Well, it hasn't happened yet.

That doesn't mean it's impossible.

Well, Lexi, um, I think it's your show.

Oh, yeah, right.

So, um, what do you reckon?

About what?

Well, there's two ways we can do this.

One, I can send flowers and chocolates and stuff and we can go out to all these

places like you do.

Or two, we can just get into it.

See, I haven't got much time and I know you're the one.

I knew it as soon as I saw you.

Everything I've ever wanted, that's it.

Let's get married.

Dave, I'm going to have to think about that one.

No worries.

Well, um, excuse me.

I've got to go to the bathroom.

New towel.

Yeah, I've got to go downstairs.

I really like that towel.

What? You really like that towel? What are you talking about?

Nothing.

What's the matter?

Will you forget it?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Good.

I've just got to go downstairs for a tea. What for?

Well, I'll be back soon. Don't you go away.

I'll be back.

Don't answer it.

No, no, no.

Wait a minute.

Yeah.

Yeah, hang on. I'll be there in a minute.

Apparently somebody's trying to break into my car.

I had a funny feeling you were the lucky girl.

Well, thanks for warning me. I mean, what am I going to say to him?

The truth. What else?

I guess it's now or never, huh?

Right soon.

Wish me luck. I've never had a turn down of a post before.

Hey, well, don't look at me. Neither have I.

Where's he gone?

Oh, well, maybe he kind of got the message when you ran off.

Poor guy. He's not going to speak to me anymore. He probably hates me.

Shay, he lives on a prawn trawler. He was desperate.

Thanks a lot, Meg.

I've just tried to put this in perspective.

Well, I have.

Look, the guy falls desperately in love with me from the moment he sees me.

It's impossible, it's incredible, and that's what makes it the most romantic

thing ever.

Now, tell me this. Why can't Steve do something like that, huh?

How come it's always the wrong guys doing the right thing?

What happened?

I've got no idea.

I went out to the car and it was perfectly fine.

So I spoke to them at the desk and they don't know what I'm talking about.

I don't believe it.

God, what sort of an idiot ends up with a message like that?

All of the money!

No! Soap's got a tonsil I lock on. Then open the bloody till!

Quick, smart boy!

That's all there is, believe me.

How'd it go?

Packing shells from midnight to dawn.

I'm not doing that.

You haven't got a lazy ten grand, have you?

What do you want it for?

Told you.

Lawyers.

All I want to do is be with my kid.

I've got to make lawyers rich to do it.

Wait, what?

You are unbelievable.

A break -in in his car.

What's next? You're going to short -sheet the bed?

A break -in?

Where did that happen exactly?

You're pathetic.

That is my towel, Robbie. Well, I bought it. No, no, no.

We bought it and we gave it to me. This is ridiculous. We go away for a weekend

and we argue over a towel. No, no, no. We didn't go away for a weekend. I went

away for a weekend and you turned up. Excuse me? I went away for a weekend and

you turned up.

Really? Is that OK?

Not yet, thanks. We'll be there straight away.

OK. Les?

Dave has been in the police station all night.

What? Yeah, apparently he was in some fight and the police picked him up. They

won't even give him bail.

Why not? He's got a bag full of money. I think he stole it. We've got to go down

there and vouch for him.

Oh, man, I knew we would get into trouble.

Oh, what could you do? Say you'd marry him. Yeah, well, I could let him down a

bit more gently if he's running off to the bathroom.

So why didn't you tell me? Well, I was going to tell you, but I just didn't

think it was relevant.

Not relevant that your wife's here?

Ex -wife.

We split up.

When? Years ago. Six, seven years ago.

When?

Two years ago.

Sounded like you're still married.

Well, we see each other often.

No, I haven't seen her in ages.

She looks, um...

Nice. I'm sorry, guys. You're the only people I knew to call.

Dave, it's all right.

She said I worked hard for every dollar in that bag and I thought I knocked it

all off. What would they know?

Morning, peasants.

Just up to poetry.

G'day. How are you going? How's the city treating you?

Well, it isn't quite turning out how I thought.

Well, it's the city.

She can be a fickle mistress.

Oh, me bag.

Oh, where's me bag?

Oh, calm down, Dave. You couldn't have lost it.

You've just probably put it down somewhere.

What's going on?

Dave seems to have mislaid his money. Have you seen it? It was in that little

bag.

Can't say I have.

If I hear anything, I'll let you know.

OK.

Where is it?

Where's what?

I don't believe it. You're only in there for ten seconds.

Jimbo, the guy's an idiot. Where is it?

I wasn't actually stealing it.

It was just there, you know.

Give it to him.

Why am I supposed to do that? I don't know. Think of something.

Well, now he's noticed it's missing, it's going to be a bit bloody difficult.

Look, you might want to wreck your life, okay, but don't wreck mine. This is my

job.

Just do it.

Oi.

Wouldn't be looking for this, would you?

That's it.

See, I told you to turn up.

Yeah, it was under one of the chairs in there.

You must have dropped it without realising. Mate, thank you so much.

got to repay you.

Here you go.

Hey, can't a bloke do the right thing without being rewarded for it? I'll take

it.

Well, if it makes you feel better, cut.

Foolproof?

Mate, I want these passports to be genius proof.

It's an older picture of her, though. That's the only thing.

Morning.

I've got to go. I'll call you later.

Hey, mate.

I thought you were going to Prosserpine.

Yeah, I was going to talk to you about that.

Things don't work out. I thought I might go over to New Zealand.

You don't need a passport for New Zealand.

Oh, don't you?

Thought you did.

What are you going to do, Mac? Rob a bank and split the country?

Jimbo, I told you.

I'm a family man now.

No, I meant you.

Oh, no.

Hi.

Yeah, guy.

We were just going for a walk along the beach.

Snap.

You know, that's a very good -looking woman you've got there, Chris.

Well, when you think about it, she's more yours than she is mine.

No, no, I meant Pauline.

She's that food writer, isn't she?

We're actually friends.

It's just the situation's a bit off.

I can't imagine why.

What? Duncan, no.

You know, that photo in the paper doesn't do it justice at all.

Well, to tell you the truth, I've never read her column.

Food to me is pretty much food.

He's got a lot of style.

I was watching him at lunch.

Hey, you'd be interested in this. He's a chef.

A chef?

He owns a bluefin restaurant on the south coast.

That's the guy who runs the bluefin?

Jimbo, you've got to fly me to Wonduk.

I've got to go now, mate.

I've just talked to my wife. She's going to leave with Cheryl and I won't know

where they're going to go.

I've just got to go and talk to her.

Just do this one thing for me.

I'll never ask you for anything again.

Hey, I can't just go and take a plane.

Jimbo, please.

It's a former little girl.

I'll pay, whatever the rate. I'm sorry?

I thought you said you were strapped for cash.

Yeah, well, I ran into someone.

Oh, lucky Jimbo.

His name's Mark McLaughlin. Do you recognise him?

What's he done?

He's jumped bail and he's wanted for questioning over a number of robberies.

We arrested one of his mates who said he was pretty chummy with one of your

employees, Jimbo James.

Oh, Jimbo wouldn't have anything to do with this.

Do you happen to know McLaughlin's whereabouts?

Here we go with you, Victor. This is Big Sky Base. Jimbo, you've got a problem.

What is it, Scotty?

Mate, the cops were here. They're going over to your place looking for Mac.

Did they say why?

He's wanted in connection with a whole lot of armed robberies. Jimbo, you've

to do something.

He's not with you, is he?

Just give me this one, Jimbo.

Jimbo!

No, I don't know where he is. Scotty, I haven't seen him.

Echo Whiskey Victor.

There he is, mate.

I truly do.

That's it, Mac. I'm Jack of this. I just lied to the cops.

It's a mistake.

I'll fix it all up when we go back. Hey, it's not a mistake. It's a list of

armed robberies. You lied to me. Why lie to me? Don't push me. What, do you

think I'm an idiot? Why do I listen to you? Why?

Hey, we're mates. Hey, we're not mates.

Can we talk about this later? I've got things to do. Righto, that's it. I'm

going to the cops.

I know you're not.

Oi!

Thanks for everything, Shay.

Oh, Dave, I'm sorry.

No, no, no, it's all right.

I think I'm kind of getting over it.

I thought you were the one.

Hey, there's plenty more fish in the sea.

No, there's not.

Hey, it's still you.

But... Will

you take care of yourself?

Enjoying yourself?

Probably about as much as you are. Probably more.

Chris, may I remind you that I was planning a romantic weekend?

So was I.

There's a great deal of difference between romantic and dirty.

Oh, is there?

Only in perspective.

Where are they going?

Who cares?

They wouldn't be going back to the hotel without us, would they?

The earth moved legs and the sky spun.

Fireworks.

Fireworks. Music.

Symphony orchestra.

Awesome.

I had

him and I just let him go.

He was right in front of me, Lex.

I couldn't see him, I couldn't see what he was worth.

But he was everything I dreamed about.

Can I grab a jimba?

Yeah, man.

Look at him.

If you're going to run, Mac, you should do it now.

Come in.

Thank you.

Your boy gone too, huh?

I do believe they've checked out together.

This is a first.

They probably deserve each other. Probably.

I mean, can you imagine it? A food reviewer and a chef.

What the hell would they talk about?

They'll drive each other crazy.

Round the bend.

You know, you've done a lot better than her in the past.

Can't argue with that.

I wonder how the kids are.

Yeah.
