Rest yourself, love.

It'll be gone in a minute.

Hang on a minute.

There, that's better.

Right, love.

Can you hear the music?

You can't leave.

Oh, you can't leave.

Got me what?

It's our anniversary.

Is it?

Oh, yes, so it is.

Happy anniversary.

What's so funny?

Well, we're not together, so it seems like a silly thing to do. Why? I thought

we could go out to dinner or something.

You want to celebrate it?

Well, yeah, it's a big day.

Chris, it was once a big day.

Well, couldn't we still go out to dinner?

I'm kind of busy.

Well, that's all right. I can pick the kids up from sport or whatever. No, it's

not the kids.

I've got a date.

On our anniversary?

Yeah.

Look, I'm running late. I'll see you later, OK?

It's for a night off. How often do I do that? Scotty, I'm sick of this. The

schedule's set. You're on tonight. No, come on. You're always taking Jimbo's

time. That's it. That's it. That's it. I'm not talking about this anymore.

Did Ronnie leave the service history for Charlie Tango here for me?

Not that I know of.

When was this? Two days ago. What's the matter with you? Where is he?

Oh, man. I don't believe it.

What?

A friend of yours is getting married.

Yeah, I didn't even know she was serious about the guy.

What's the problem with the old boyfriend of yours?

As if.

Oh, and she's not just getting married. She's going to live in Paris with him.

All the luck, don't they?

Yeah. They do, not me.

Jimbo!

Looking for you.

Yeah? I think Mum wants me company on this trip, man.

Why?

Well, it's a long flight. You might want someone to talk to.

That service history you promised me two days ago, I need it now.

Come on, where is it? Stop mucking around.

Will you kindly shut up?

I'm not listening to you if you're going to keep talking like that.

Rowley, what's all the screaming? You used to be a quiet bloke. What are you

doing here?

I'm trying to do some work on a pipe at Chieftain, but some idiot keeps

screaming at me.

This is so great.

How long have we got you for?

Two weeks.

Ronnie's crook, apparently.

I got the call this morning.

The stress is getting to you too, by the sound of it.

No.

It's just one of those days.

How's Robbie and the kids?

Oh, they're good.

Real good.

It's our anniversary today.

What do you mean? I thought you got separated.

Not you too.

You don't have anniversaries when you separate, do you?

Why not?

It's stupid. They don't mean anything anymore, do they?

Ciao, this is Tango Whiskey Sierra. There's a tanker on the crossing runway.

Tango Whiskey Sierra, thank you for your notification.

The vehicle is not authorized.

We'll send out security.

He's heading straight for the Boeing on runway 16.

I think they're going to collide.

This is extremely dangerous. You could hurt a lot of people.

They all deserve it.

So where are we going?

We're going to do a drop off at Byron and then go to a little airfield near

Rocky.

All the way up there?

We'll be back by tonight though, won't we?

Better be.

Byron, huh?

You know, that's the airstrip with the tricky approach, isn't it?

What's tricky about it?

I just seem to remember having a bit of trouble with that one.

You know, maybe you could talk me through it when we get there, show me

doing wrong.

Yeah, sure, whatever.

Because you're an instinctual kind of pilot, Jimbo.

I mean, I could probably learn quite a few pointers from you.

Is that right?

I know that I haven't really said it in the past, but I really admire you.

Scotty? Hmm?

No.

But you just said that you'd help me out. No, I'm talking about swapping

I saw the schedule.

You're on.

I'm not.

Sorry. Jimbo, please.

Do me this one favour and I'll owe you for the rest of my life. Oh, your life.

Your life doesn't even begin to come close to what I'd miss out on.

Tonight, I glimpse... Come on, Jimbo. I met this girl, mate. She's the hottest

looking chick you've ever seen.

Look, I would do this.

Normally, I would.

You know me.

But I will give you one word to explain why I can't.

Tatiana.

What's her name?

Angela.

Angela.

Angela.

It's a nice name, but it's not...

Jimbo, look, I've been trying to get out with this girl for weeks, mate. If I

don't show tonight, then she's going to... I would have blown it for good,

I'll tell you what I'll do, Scotty.

I'll let you fly home so you can get your hours up. Hey.

Yeah, thanks, eh?

Post those off straight away, please.

Shay? What's the matter?

I just don't get it, Lauren.

You know, why her? Why Kate?

Why Kate what?

Well, how come she's the one who gets to get married and go and live overseas?

If you fall in love, anything can happen.

Yeah, but at school she was hopeless, you know?

She was got lower grades than me. She was never in with the right crowd and

was fucked.

I'm not going to stop anyone from marrying her.

Anyway, if we all stayed the same way we were at school, I'd be skinny with

pimples. I just don't get it.

You know, if Kate Russell can go off and get married and live overseas, then

what am I doing with my life?

You know, I should be doing more.

Because of Kate Russell?

No.

Well, yeah.

You know, all my friends are doing all this exciting stuff and I'm being left

behind.

Jane, you can't spend your life comparing yourself to other people.

I know that, Lauren. That doesn't stop me from feeling left behind.

Thanks, Mr Manning.

You'll be contacted in the next couple of days about the court hearing.

So you're going to throw the book at him?

Well, breaking in with intent.

Illegal use of a motor vehicle.

Committing an act of violence in an airport.

Doesn't look good.

But the judge should go easy on him at his age.

Did he tell you why he did it?

Something about the flight path and his wife dying. Poor old bloke.

Don't say he'd do us a favour.

We don't want to lock an old guy like this up, but he has to be bailed on

someone's recognizance.

What have you got in this thing?

Special tropical feed for the reptile pen at Sydney Zoo.

What do these reptiles eat? Antles?

There's a lot in there. I've really packed it in. Okay, see you later.

What I want to know is how we're going to get it out.

What is it?

There's something in there.

Yeah, it's food for the zoo.

Food with eyes? Food that moves?

It didn't move.

It moved. Would I make it up? Have a look.

Oh.

What do you think it is?

Whatever it is, it's not happy.

A lion?

Don't lions normally have eyelashes?

I don't know. I've never been close enough to check.

It looks like a man -eater.

You don't know that from looking at its eye? From what we know, it could be, I

don't know, something cuddly.

That eye is not cuddly. That eye is filled with hate.

Don't touch it.

Give it any excuses.

Come on, out with it. You've filed that same piece of paper three times now.

Do you think I'm pretty?

Of course you are.

I don't believe this. You get one wedding invitation and your self

shot to pieces.

Yeah, well, I can't help thinking what everybody else has got that I haven't.

Have you heard the expression, the grass is greener?

Well, maybe it is.

Trust me, other people's lives are never as interesting as you imagine them to

be.

Do you think I'm having a midlife crisis?

No, I don't think so.

Everyone goes through this.

I did.

Really? Yeah, of course.

I still do.

Oh, Lauren, but you've had, like, another career. You've travelled, you've

overseas. Give yourself time.

There's a lot of things I haven't done.

Like what?

Getting married, having children.

Do you think you'll ever be a mother?

I'd better find someone first.

Yeah, I know the feeling.

I've never been serious about anyone.

Me too.

Oh, you must have.

Well, I'm never serious enough for it to last.

Yeah, well, I wish I could get that far.

This is it.

Thanks for the lift.

No problem.

You going to be all right?

Want to see a doctor or something?

Look at a doctor, Desiree.

I can do it.

How about a cup of tea?

So now you're inviting yourself inside.

I'm here for you.

I reckon you could do with one.

I wonder what it is.

Who cares, OK? Just get home and get it off the aircraft.

What if it's a dolphin? You know, you're supposed to wet them down every ten

minutes or so.

Jimbo, it's not a dolphin. I guarantee it.

You think it's got enough air?

It's got plenty of air. Just forget it.

Jimbo! I just want to take just a little peek.

It is a man -eater. Yeah?

Give me a look.

It's got to be against about a dozen regulations.

Big Sky Basic, this is Whiskey Victor Bravo.

Whiskey Victor Bravo, this is Big Sky Basic. Go ahead, Scotty.

Yeah, Shay, we might have a problem here. We have a giant crocodile on

Yeah, sure, Scotty.

True. Why would we lie?

Well, because you have a warped sense of humour.

Shay, it is big. It has got leathery skin, beady eyes and big teeth. It is a

crocodile.

Wow, you really are serious.

Shay, just get in contact with the guy that we got this from.

Ron. Ron someone.

His name will be on the invoice. Tell him that we know what's in his crotch.

it is crashing around and there's something bad. And what are we supposed

Got that with Victor Bradbury. Just hang in there.

I'll get straight back to you as soon as I can.

Go away.

Whiskey Victor.

What is that bloke up to, telling us it's just food for the zoo?

Well, maybe it is, mate.

Scotty, what eats live crocodiles?

These guys don't get eaten.

They are the eaters.

Well, maybe he's trying to smuggle them. Whatever. He didn't want us to know

about it, did he?

If you drive a truck into a jumbo, you're going to take a lot of people

you.

I don't think you want that on your conscience, do you? I wasn't thinking of

that.

Nobody would listen.

About Greta, nobody cared.

If it were crashing into a Jumbo, it won't... Won't what?

Won't bring her back. Is that what you were going to say?

Killing people, including yourself, is not going to do anyone any good. So now

I'm being...

counselled by a pirate?

You're one of the boats responsible.

I don't fly jumbos.

And I don't need your advice. Where the hell would you know it? There you go. I

don't have to be here. Then why are you? Well, because you were going to top

yourself. What else was I going to do? Never mind your bloody business. I've

to go.

I'll call you back going to court.

What's your number?

What? I said forget it.

It was like that when she went.

She was just lying there trying to say something, and I couldn't hear a word

said.

That sound.

That was the last thing she heard. It shouldn't be like that.

I'll give you a call about going to court.

If you need me, this is where I work.

Don't bother. I'll be there. Don't worry.

Ron said there must have been a mix -up with the crates because apparently the

crocodile was meant to go to another zoo.

A likely story. I still say doing a trade in protected species.

You should call the cops, Shay.

One thing at a time, guys, all right?

Ron said just don't go near it. Go near it? The thing's sitting behind us. Look,

he said there's no problem. Just stay calm, okay?

He's only a crocodile.

Only? You wouldn't say that if it was breathing on you. He said that there'll

someone here to pick it up on your arrival.

Big deal. So now we've got to fly around for the next few hours with this thing

thumping around like crazy? He also said not to panic, because if you just leave

it alone, it'll sleep the whole trip.

So good luck.

Bye -bye.

Whiskey Victor Bravo.

That's a sleeper. I don't want to see it awake.

Maybe he's having a nightmare.

Heat? What makes you so sure it's a heat?

That is no nightmare.

Maybe we should just whack him with something and knock him out cold.

What with?

Besides, isn't he a protected species? He's not protected from a whack in the

head.

OK, you hit him.

Well, maybe we should just, like, threaten it.

Hungry. Look, he's just hungry.

What do you feed a three -metre crocodile?

What have you got?

A number six chicken for a half -a -tonne crocodile?

What did you bring?

You think you'd mind chili? He loves chili. Come on, before he breaks through

the side of the box.

I'm not really conformed to this.

Okay, look now, we're really sorry, big fella, okay? Now, once you've had your

yummy life, you're big sleepy.

Shut up!

Come on, are you ready?

Okay.

It would have hurt to get stuck in.

I hope it doesn't span away.

Okay, he must be upset about his wife dying, but how could blowing up a jumbo

make up for that?

I mean, sure, the noise is bad at his place, but a lot of people have to put

with that noise, and they don't go around trying to blow up jumbos, do

What?

What if Robbie died? You don't reckon you'd go a little crazy?

Yeah, sure, but I wouldn't go out and try killing a whole lot of people.

I guess you're right.

Yeah, see?

Because you haven't been married to her for 50 years.

You're feeling sorry for yourself because she didn't remember your

Imagine what that old bloke must be going through.

He ate it in one gulp.

He never feeds a thing.

He said that they're like live chickens.

He says it prefers live chooks.

Yeah, okay, look, did you tell him that it's getting worse? That it is going

berserk? I did, and he said that she's a she.

He's a she?

I told you.

Yeah, Shay, tell him that we're not panicking, but as we sit here, she is

turning the crate into mad sticks!

All right, all right.

Why didn't you tell me this before?

Okay, okay, yes, thanks, Jay.

Okay, but you assure that somebody will be there as soon as we land.

Okay, thank you, Big Sky. Bye!

Okay, good news.

We've got drugs.

Now is not the time, Jimbo. A crocodile drug!

I was about to get a shot as soon as we landed.

But I must have got the dose wrong.

I've got to give it to her now.

Good luck, Doc.

Well, you've got to help.

No, I'm flying the plane, mate.

Ah,

Chris.

Where have you been?

The cops talked me into taking that old bloke home from the station.

We needed you here. It's been absolute bedlam.

Scotty and Jimbo are stuck with a rampaging crocodile and Lexi's had to do

your flights.

I'm sorry, it wasn't my fault.

Couldn't someone else have taken him home?

There wasn't anyone else.

He's disrupted everything.

We've had to reschedule all the flights because the ARC are crawling all over

the runways with their investigation.

Don't you think you're being a little unfair?

He tried to kill himself.

It was good of you to help.

Help?

He lost his wife.

I didn't help him at all.

OK.

Doctor James is ready. Come on, Scotty, let's go.

You do it.

I think I can see some turbines.

Don't be a wimp. I've got to take this in a truck near a club. They can't help

it. Do it.

You've got to eat.

Look what she's doing.

Come on, hurry up.

Keep your pants on.

Okay, let's go.

All right. Ready?

Yep.

Well, the last time I saw him, he didn't look like he was going anywhere.

Well, we can't get a hold of him. We've got a legal aid solicitor who wants to

see him, but no answer.

Oh, thanks anyway.

Thank you.

I've just got to go out.

Oh, what again?

Yeah, I just got to check up on someone.

Thanks, guy.

This is Whiskey Victor Bravo.

Big Sky, this is Whiskey Victor Bravo.

Shay, quick, what the hell are you doing? Whiskey Victor Bravo, this is Big

Base. Scotty, will you keep your pants on? What is it now?

Look, get Chris. I need him quick.

I'm sorry, but he's not here at the moment.

Well, look, we've got a bit of a problem. Jimbo tried to inject him, but

himself dead.

He's fallen asleep, and the crocodile's trying to wreck the plane.

Oh, my God, Scotty, don't hurt it or anything.

Hurt it? What about what it can do to us?

Look, I'm heading for the nearest airfield to put down, but it's half an

away. Can't you find Chris?

What do you want him for?

We don't know what to do.

Well, I'm sorry, Scotty. You're the one who paid Alan in this morning.

What? I didn't. Look, he comes and just get him the radio and everything.

Tell him to hurry.

I've got that Whiskey Victor problem.

You dweeb.

Big sky base.

Cut that out. Wake up.

Come on, Jimbo. Wake up.

It was an alligator.

Oh, yeah.

We're on track for an egg strip in the middle of nowhere, right? I'm putting

down.

It doesn't work.

That's what I've been trying to tell you.

Wake up. I'm awake. I'm okay. I'm all right. I'm all right.

Cops have been trying to call you. Are you okay?

Well, just stop asking me that.

If you want to lock your front door, mate, anybody can come in.

Today's Friday, isn't it?

Yeah. Jeez, I'm going to be moving now. Hey, Harry.

No, no, no. The gritter will kill me.

Every Friday she'll send me down here to buy some groves.

Since you cooked all week, didn't I have to go to Friday's?

Yeah, that's what Robbie says.

Robbie? Yeah, my wife and mum.

Like what?

I knew it had to be Friday. Taste those sausage rolls.

Even though I never liked them much.

Couldn't be Friday otherwise.

Women, eh?

Make you do just about anything.

This is worse than I thought.

How come?

How come?

There's a couple of guys you're serious about.

How come they didn't last?

I just realised I didn't want to spend the rest of my life with them.

Don't you ever worry you're never going to meet the right one?

What are you worried about? You've got a lot more time than me.

Yeah, I know, but, you know, I don't want to end up lonely.

I mean, I've got great friends and all that, but... It's not the same thing.

Yeah.

You know, I don't want to wake up one morning and realise that I'm old and

alone.

There are a lot of other things in life besides men and babies.

So, why did you do it then?

Because I'm not as smart as you are, Harry.

I didn't know what I had until I lost it.

Tried to win it back?

Yeah, of course.

She doesn't want to know about me.

She's moved on.

So now you're on your own?

Well, yeah, when I go home.

I always knew one of us would get left behind.

I used to worry that I'd go first.

I didn't want her going through all that to know what it's like to be so

alone.

Hey.

What do you reckon?

Wouldn't be Friday without flowers.

Hang on.

They've got plenty. I'm only going to take a few.

Harry.

Don't forget her.

All stations, this is Whiskey, Victor Bravo, on approach to Airstrip G40.

She's getting out.

Hurry. What do you mean, hurry? It's a bloody aircraft.

She's getting out.

She's getting out.

Oh, she's out.

Oh, oh, she's an ugly mother.

Jim, will you just shut up?

Oh.

What? She ate your leather jacket.

I must speak to my pharmacist about getting more of this.

I've got to get back.

I'm supposed to be doing that broken heel run for Chris.

Tatiana.

I was supposed to meet her in 40 minutes.

I thought Angela had met her at 7 .30.

I hate that crocodile.

Used to be a lovely street.

Trees all up and down.

Knew everybody.

When the planes started coming, the houses went.

Suddenly they're all gone.

You know, I've never been in one of them.

Where are we going?

Never thought you'd talk me into that.

So what do you reckon?

Not all bad up here, is it?

I realised how small everything would look.

Yeah, I reckon we'd be going over your place in about... Now.

Yeah?

Well, there's people.

It's my world down there anymore.

My world stopped at the end of the street.

My world...

That's great.

I thought you'd better have these since I bought them for you. Oh, thank you.

Hey, your favourite.

Used to be.

Since when?

Is there anything else?

Because... Yeah, yeah, I know. You've got to go out.

I met this old guy today.

His wife just died.

It was the saddest thing I've ever seen.

I'm so lost and lonely without her.

You wanted to get married, I guess.

Without a new life.

Hmm.

What would happen to life?

What do you mean?

Well, I guess you wouldn't want me hanging around so much, would you?

What are you talking about?

You're the kid's father. You're always going to be around.

Nothing will change that.

Well, I better let you go. Have a good night with the bean counter.

Sorry I ruined your plan.

Ah, never mind.

You should go out.

Yeah, maybe I will.

Cheers again.

Whiskey Big Bravo, this is Big Sky.

Scotty, where the hell are you?

Yeah, I'm here.

Jimbo! Just reach in and grab the headset.

You reach in and grab the headset.

Guys, are you there?

I should have put the emergency signal on.

Now you think of it.

How's the old man? Is he all right?

Not really.

What can you do for somebody like that?

His wife's gone. Nobody's going to replace her.

He's probably going to die in jail.

Must be awful to suddenly find yourself alone like that.

I give such lousy advice.

Oh, say, she was having a crisis about never finding anyone special.

She's just a kid. What's she worried about?

That's what I said. Wait till she gets to our age.

Can you ask Jay to cancel that restaurant booking she made for me for

I didn't know you had plans.

It wasn't important.

It is. You spend most of your life working. Oh, look who's talking.

Do you want to have dinner with me tomorrow night?

Yeah, tomorrow night would be great.
