Oh, the jump on Dorothy, that was the best part.

He's not supposed to jump on Dorothy.

He's supposed to protect her from the witch.

Me and Jason Kovac jumped.

Oh, well, I hope you didn't hurt her.

Choose the tickets for rehearsal and forget a line.

Oh, everybody's a critic.

Why didn't Tom come, Mum?

I told you, darling, he had to work tonight.

Tom?

Yeah, you know, I've been seeing him for months.

Thanks for coming, Dad.

Hey, I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

I'll see you next weekend.

What are we doing?

It's a surprise.

You'll have to wait and see.

Coffee?

Yeah, I'd love one.

Did you hear the Robertsons tonight?

We had our moment?

Yeah, we worked it out.

We're friends.

Chris? Well, we are.

Chris.

It's about Tom.

Things are getting pretty serious.

Yeah, I figured they must be. The kids are asking about it.

Well, I thought I should let you know.

He's asked me to marry him.

So, what, you want a divorce?

Make it official?

Yes.

No.

Well, I don't know if I want to marry him.

I want to know what you think.

Why?

Why not?

Apart from the kids, you're the person this will affect the most.

Well, what do you think I'm going to say?

Yeah, fine.

Get a substitute father. See if I care. Get any old dickhead.

You know what I mean.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

You want me to make up your mind for you.

That's not fair, Robbie.

This is not just about you. It's about me and my kids. Oh, yeah, it is about

I'm the one living by myself.

I'm the one that's going to be watching somebody else be a father to my kids.

Don't make me feel guilty about us splitting up.

That's the real problem, isn't it?

You've never been able to accept the fact that our marriage is over. What?

Chris, can't we just talk about this calmly and rationally?

You are kidding, aren't you?

Chris!

I'd like to see the weasel try and avoid me when I show up in person.

Good luck.

It'll teach him not to take my calls.

Do you know where he is? I have to speak to him about some serious discrepancies

with our refuelling bill.

You made an appointment to feed Fred for today?

No, he's always busy when I call.

Well, right, because you wouldn't have seen him today. It's picnic races.

So who else can sign for the freight?

That's a good one. Good.

And where is he?

Right.

I'll have to go to the record thing.

You will, don't you?

Chris,

Mr Jager's wife was meant to be on your return flight from Kavanaugh, but we've

got no record of her booking.

Well, I picked up everybody that was at the Airstrip.

Well, she's slim, got dark hair.

Hang on, I've got a photo.

No, I didn't see her. She might have gone with another company.

No, no, she definitely said Big Sky.

Maybe she forgot to book or she was running late.

Paddy wouldn't be late, not today of all days. Look, I have to fly out there

right now.

All right, well, I've just got to make a call. No, I have to go now. Something

must have happened.

Well, I have to make a call and the aircraft's got to be refuelled anyway.

Right. Well, just as soon as you can.

Please.

Just take a seat, Mr J. He won't be long.

Robbie, I'm sorry, OK?

Yeah, sorry, I'm coming. I just forgot to set the machine.

OK. Come on.

Chocolates, flowers, perfume, books.

Yeah, I don't know what books or perfume she likes or whether she's allergic to

chocolate.

Shay, I'm going to go out. If Robbie calls, can you let me know?

Sure.

Simba?

Can you just...

Keep an eye on the place till Lauren gets back.

Mr Jager. No worries.

What's the matter with him?

It makes perfect sense to me.

I'm next in terms of seniority.

Jimbo, I didn't mean that. I mean, there's something up with Chris.

It's probably him and Lauren again.

Oh, this isn't terrible. I should know what to get my own mother.

Why? You've never met her before. How could you know?

Yeah, but your mother's someone you should know what to get instinctively

because she's your own mother. You know what I mean?

Oh, that's ridiculous. You've never met the woman. How are you supposed to know

what she likes?

Big Sky Base, this is Tango Whiskey Sierra.

Big Sky.

Lauren, how's it hanging?

Can you tell Chris I'll be stuck out here for a while and he'll have to hold

fort? No can do. Chris had to do an unscheduled flight. I'm not sure when

be back.

Somebody needs to be in charge in case anything comes up.

Lauren, you talking to him?

Jimbo, I'm serious.

And so am I. Chris has already asked me to keep an eye on things.

He did?

Lauren, it might surprise you to know that the mantle of responsibility sits

rather easily on these shoulders.

Yeah, we'll try and avert any disaster until one of us gets back.

The place is in safe hands, Tango Whiskey.

Big Sky.

I'm looking for my wife, Patricia Jager.

Yeah, she was meant to be on my flight before back to Sydney.

Oh, yeah, she said that you'd probably come.

Well, thank God. Where is she? She left this for you.

Look, I have to go to Elwood right now.

What's going on?

Listen, my wife's ill.

I can't waste time. I have to go there right now.

I'm due at a very important meeting. It started half an hour ago. Well, I was

stuck in a holding pattern. You see, there's not a lot I can do about that.

Yeah, look, we're sorry if this sort of thing happens when there's a lot of

traffic. I want to talk to whoever's in charge of this tin -pot outfit.

Good morning, sir.

Jimbo James.

Are you the manager?

I'm acting on her behalf. And on behalf of Miss Allen and all of us here at Big

Sky, I'd like to apologise for any inconvenience you've been caused. Oh,

hardly... And to compensate you for our failure to provide the efficient service

we are so proud of ourselves on here at Big Sky, I'd like to offer you a 50 %

discount on this flight and an upgrade to executive class.

next time you fly with us.

Oh, well... And my personal assurance that this will never happen again. Thank

you.

No, sir.

Thank you.

Executive Clark.

Hey, he was happy, wasn't he?

Lauren won't be.

Well, she was happy enough to leave me in charge.

Why wasn't I left in charge?

Scotty, please.

What? I could have handled that guy.

It'd help if I knew what he looked like.

I give up. This is a waste of a trip.

Maybe not.

Feel like a flutter?

No, no, no. My gambling days are behind me.

I haven't got much money and we're here anyway.

Forgive me, Pauline.

That's my name, Pauline.

And, um, that one.

Derby Express.

What are you doing? They're both long shots.

Oh, think of the Cornell.

Think how much we'd win.

Okay.

That's all I'm spending. Okay.

Sorry, I didn't give you this ticket.

What are you talking about?

It's got your signature on it.

Must be a forgery.

Don't be ridiculous. I saw you give it to her.

I've been standing with Bob the whole time. I haven't seen her either, have

This is your writing. You recorded the bit in the book.

I can't see anything there. Yeah, well, give me a look. Get your hands off it.

Come on, we won the Quinella. We want our money.

I'm telling you, you haven't won anything.

I made this for my mum when I was about six years

old.

My dad brought this purple one, so I was too embarrassed to do it to her.

And you kept it all these years?

Yeah.

I don't know why.

Anyway,

I just wanted you to have something that was really for me.

You know what I mean?

It's beautiful, Shay.

It's the best present I've ever had.

Yeah?

Happy birthday.

I thought she was getting better.

She'd been at a health farm, you know.

I thought everything was going to be all right.

You married?

Separate.

Well, I could never leave Patty, no matter what.

Well, stuff happens.

You make mistakes.

Mistakes?

Did you leave your wife just because of a mistake?

It can't have been much of a marriage.

Listen, don't get judgmental on my marriage.

It's not the right time.

Did she leave you?

We left each other.

Well, it was just a justification.

I mean, whose fault was it? Was it yours?

If you don't mind, I don't want to talk about my marriage.

It's a bit raw at the moment.

It was your fault.

No, it wasn't.

But it was her fault, then. You blame her.

It wasn't her fault.

And it wasn't my fault.

It just happened.

End.

She's left me.

Paddy left me.

Not my writing. It's the same as the other entry. I don't even remember

it. Oh, you're right, just like your signature.

How about I contact the police, or maybe we should get on to the racing

authorities.

Give them the money, Bob.

My goodness, finally someone is seeing sense.

Everybody in this town works hard for their money, lady.

$9 ,832.

Thank you.

Jimbo? Hmm?

What's going on?

Well, if I'm in charge, this is where I belong.

But you've changed all the furniture around.

Shay, the thing shooey in this office was a shocker.

The most powerful position is facing the door, so you're dominant.

And the fire cabinet had to be much closer to the desk, so I can just reach

and get what I want without having to get up.

That seems like a good idea.

The key to good management is having information at your fingertips.

Well, maybe we should keep it this way, then.

Yeah, well, I like to think I can make a contribution while I have the chance.

Do you think you can look at these letters and see if I've ordered them

correctly? Sure.

Anything for you.

Do you want a coffee?

Yeah, I'd love one.

Oh, and, uh, Shay?

Yeah? If I could, uh, have some of those biscuits with the little almond

sprinkles, that'd be... that'd be good.

I'll take them.

Oh, dear.

No sign of him. I'm starting to think Trevor Stannard doesn't even exist.

You sure you don't want to go and look for him in town?

The reception we got at the races, I just want to get out of here.

You must have seen if somebody was hanging around the plane.

No. No, nobody's been around.

Our magneto's been stolen. What are you going to do about it?

You could call the cops.

Forget it. Just give us another one and we'll get out of here.

Magnetos.

I don't know if I've got any in stock.

You're out of luck, ladies.

Too big.

Hang on, hang on. It's your lucky day. I've got one left.

Oh, great. How much?

$9 ,832.

$9 ,832.

Staying at a sister's, naturally.

I could just talk to her. I could talk to her. I could get all this sorted out.

I would have done anything for her, you know, anything.

She blames me for everything that happened.

I know that.

You're covering some blame too much?

Yep.

You got any kid?

Two.

How old?

Nine and five.

Jamie would have been three next birthday.

She's leaving me because of Jamie.

I know that.

It wasn't my fault.

It wasn't my fault.

You'll have to find someone else. I can't desert my responsibilities here.

Okay, well, you'll have to have a look at the schedule and see who else can

Mr. Perry then, okay?

Mr. Perry, look, I'm sorry. Something's come up. Jimbo's unable to take you.

Help yourself to a coffee, and I'll find another pilot for you, okay?

Okay.

I don't feel that it's entirely appropriate that you refer to me by my

name in front of clients.

Well, Lauren never wants me to call her Miss Ellen.

Okay. I don't think that a casual, overly familiar workplace is the

image we should be cultivating at this time.

Hey, I'm still good old Jimbo after work at the pub.

But when we're in the office, let's be a little bit more professional.

This is extortion. What is wrong with you people? We won that money fair and

square. That's how much the Magneto costs.

You don't want to pay?

None of my business.

A Magneto costs nothing like that.

I'm going to sleep.

Johnny!

Oh, it's a local cop.

Oh, great.

Two storey.

Well, thanks to whoever stole our Magneto.

And now we're being told that the price of a new one is exactly what we want at

the track.

Look, I don't know nothing about prices of planes.

You have to take that up with Consumer Affairs.

You're a cop, aren't you?

Our plane's been sabotaged. Do something.

Sure. We'll go down to the station, I'll fill out a report, make some inquiries.

And you'll have to stay in town while I'm at it.

Well, how long do you think that will take?

A week, maybe two.

What's going on?

Some people around here aren't too happy about a couple of strangers cleaning

them up at their own rate.

I only won't be out for at least four hours.

Fantastic.

Stranded in a town that hates us.

What are we going to do about the money? I don't want to get jumped by a local.

No, that would be thought.

No bit of karate.

Bye.

Come on, Robbie. If you're there, please pick up the phone.

Chris, will you stop harassing me?

I'm not. You wanted to talk about Tom. Let's talk about Tom.

sound any calmer than you were last night look i'm sorry about that i'm i'm

now i'm perfectly calm look i know this is hard for you it's hard for both of us

excuse me how's it hard for you you've got somebody you've got the kids what

have i got why is this always about you chris we both knew this might happen

someday oh yeah and the other one just had to wear it

Hello, Chris.

Who's that? Is that you, Tom?

Put Robbie back on. I don't think you should call her for a while. Not until

you've calmed down, okay?

You're just upsetting her.

Listen, pal, I don't know... Hello?

Tom?

We're happy to help you out, but we're not doing all your flights for you.

we're running around like mad idiots. You're going to have to do at least some

of them.

Well, he can't. He's too busy.

I only wish I could.

I'm a pilot like the rest of you, but I've been chosen to bear the burden of

management.

And so I don't betray the trust and faith you've placed in me. I have to

sadly, on the ground.

Leave it.

It'll just be him again.

Look, hanging up on him isn't going to sort out anything, OK?

Hello.

Come on, Robbie, what are you... You're getting your boyfriend to deal with me

now. No, I didn't.

Tom's just worried, that's all.

He's got nothing to worry about from me, for God's sake.

Chris, I know, I'm sorry, but we can't talk about any of this if you keep

your cool.

Robbie, I'm not losing my cool.

Robbie, all I wanted to say is that the kid and you are the most important

people in the world to me.

Are you listening to that?

Well, you're getting screwed, aren't you?

Yes, I am.

Don't let her push you around.

What choice have I got?

You've got plenty of choice. Get rid of the boyfriend for a start.

Yeah, you know, Patty's the same.

She doesn't realise what she's doing.

I got to teach her a lesson. Shut up, will you?

We're friendly publicanies.

Excuse me, we'd like to get something to eat.

Can I see a menu, please?

I said we'd like to get something to eat.

He's not deaf.

He just doesn't serve bloodsuckers like you.

So how come you're here?

Hey, watch what you're saying.

You've got a nerve showing your face here.

Told you I was sorry, Bob.

Don't serve him, Cheryl.

Listen, look, I have to get to Rat Town and she's not at a sister's place.

That's where she'll be.

She'll be at the guest house. I know that.

What are you going to do when you get there?

Oh, look, come on. It's a quarter of an hour by plane. If I can get there, I can

stop her.

Stop her doing what? Look, I'll take you back to the city. You can go home, calm

down, relax.

Maybe the reason you can't find your wife is because she doesn't want to be

found.

Ever think of that?

Just mind your own business and get in the plane!

I'm sorry for whatever's gone on between you and your wife.

Must have been a nightmare.

But I'm not taking you anywhere, dear.

See you later.

Excuse me.

Sorry about this, ladies. It's all my fault.

What is?

You winning the race.

You weren't meant to. Obviously.

Of course, I wasn't meant to either.

I rode the winner. It was meant to be a fix, but I messed it up.

You see, Johnny and Rob and Phil and a couple of blokes on the local shire,

just needed 10 grand to buy some equipment for the hospital.

So they figured the fix would be the easiest way to get it.

Only, I've never won a race in my life, you know.

20 years of donkeys and... Suddenly I could see the winning post coming

at me and I knew I could do it.

I just wanted everyone to know that Danny Cray could ride a winner after

Nice try.

Everything else fails, so spin a sob story and make us hand the money back,

right? I'll go and get Phil if you don't believe me.

Just wait in the pub.

Please?

Please?

You've got to do something to manage the stress.

Jimmy, you can have your go when I'm finished.

Shouldn't you be on a run?

This is the first chance I've had to relax all day, thanks to you.

You know what you've just done, Lexi?

You've crossed the line.

I won't forget that.

Did you get my lunch?

Well, I couldn't get picked. We've got takeaways.

Chicken and cashew, all right?

I guess we'll have to.

What do you want me to do?

Do anything. Just stop the guy. He thinks he's God.

So? All pilots think they're God.

Roly, we really need help.

Look, I don't buy into pilot business. I'm an engineer.

Just as long as he stays away from me.

So, Danny's let the cat out of the bag, has he?

Can't trust him to do anything right.

It is true.

Lots of kids around here get asthma.

We need a paediatric ventilator.

The government won't give us anything.

Little towns like ours, we're always overlooked when the money's handed out.

So have a few fundraisers, a couple of cake stalls.

You think we haven't tried?

Never eaten so many Lamingtons in my life.

The people around here are the stingiest lot you've ever met.

I mean, they're happy to throw it away on horses, but donate to a worthy cause?

Forget it.

And that's how we came up with this race -beginning idea.

It was perfect.

Except for bloody Danny Trey.

Why didn't you tell us all this before?

It's not exactly legal.

I'm very sorry that it didn't work out for you.

Well, it's not your fault.

Looks like it's back to the cake store.

I don't believe it.

Neither do I.

Who do you think you are? Jimbo, forget the stupid titles. We are all the same

here. We are all just pilots.

Of course. It's just that some pilots are a little more important than others.

Yeah, the chief pilot, pal, and he's not here.

I am the representative of the chief pilot in his absence. Ergo, I am chief

pilot. Yeah, well, that doesn't give you the right to take over the pimmel

machine, buddy. It is only fair. It is a reward for the stress and demands of

being in authority.

You're not in authority. I have a mandate directly from above.

And in that capacity, I've seen fit to make a few changes around here. If you

don't feel comfortable with that, you are more than welcome to leave.

What? And you'd better start towing the line or remembering who's in charge

around here or there will be trouble.

Do I make myself clear?

That's it.

It's completely flipped.

That's fascinating.

Oh, that's a bit of shame, isn't it?

Military coup.

An armed uprising.

Can you have an armed uprising with half a dozen pilots?

No one we're going to arm ourselves with.

Well, Chris and Laurel know what to do.

Well, I tried that. I can't contact either of them.

Come in. Just ignore him.

I mean, he doesn't have any power if we don't pay him attention, right?

Passive resistance.

I've worked for Gandhi in Martin Luther King.

I don't think I'll never vote for him.

Don't move. The ambulance will be here in a minute.

What happened? We just changed the line here.

Come on, go.

About 10 minutes. We called the ambulance straight away.

Did you see a bloke leave here in a cab or a car?

A dark -haired guy hired a car about 20 minutes ago.

Better not. You're in no condition to even move.

Big Sky, this is Tally Tango Della.

This is Big Sky. Go ahead, Tally Tango.

Shay, you've got to get on to the police at Rathdown.

This guy, his name's Warwick Jager, found his wife. She's staying at a guest

house down there.

He's violent.

I don't know what he'll do if he finds her.

I'm on my way down to town.

Okay, be careful.

If they needed the money that desperately, they should have come up

better scheme.

I don't think we're under any obligation to give it back.

What if a child dies because it hasn't got a ventilator?

Wouldn't be our fault.

Well, it would, sort of.

Four and a half grand. I've never had that much money in my life.

Hello, Jimbo James, General Manager, Big Sky.

What?

Wait, that delivery, it should be on its way. Look, I'll contact the pilot and

find out what's going on, OK? If I could just put you on hold.

Yeah, no. If we could just put you on... I'll just put you on... I'll just put

you on... Scotty!

Scotty, what's going on? You're supposed to be in Mildura with that insecticide,

and where's Lexi? There's people in Cooma waiting for her to pick them up.

Jimbo, they're your job. We're not doing them. My job? Look, I'm in charge here.

As far as we're concerned, you're not in charge.

We no longer recognise your authority, OK? From now on, we're going to be doing

our jobs, and that's all.

Mate,

you know, you could go a long way.

You could go right to the top.

By my side.

In my eyes and ears.

Good stuff.

I'm not doing anything more for you.

That was your last chance, son.

Here you go.

One magneto.

That's 9 ,832 dollars.

And on behalf of the hospital, it's much appreciated.

Oh, look. It's our magneto.

They all look the same to me.

Can I please have a receipt? If I'm going to be buying back my own part, I

to claim as much tax as I possibly can.

Do you have a Mrs Patricia Chagas thingy?

I'm sorry, we're unable to give out information about her. Well, her

looking for her. He's violent. I want to warn her. Would you like to speak to

the manager? No, I don't want to speak to the bloody manager. What room is she

in? If you just wait one moment.

Mr Markham.

Patty, there's someone else. Is that why?

It was in the note. Just leave me alone.

A note? Five years wiped away with a note.

I don't want the house. I don't want anything.

You can't bring Jamie back.

You've never stopped blaming me for that, have you?

No, I didn't. See the other car? It wasn't my fault.

I'm here now, Paddy. Talk to me.

Please.

Talk to me.

Excuse me, can I help you?

You don't want to do this.

I have to.

What am I going to do?

I mean, I don't have you and I don't have Jamie.

What am I going to do?

I can't be responsible for you anymore.

to me, Patty.

You can't sack it. Yeah, we don't recognise your authority, remember?

My authority comes from above.

My authority comes directly from... the President.

The President?

I don't recall us having a President.

Looks like one just voted himself in. I declare you all... both with... to be

non -pilots.

What's that supposed to mean?

That means you are to vacate the base immediately.

For what?

Voluntary repatriation is preferable to enforced pilot cleansing.

Don't force my hand, Gibbs.

What's going on here?

I was just doing my job, Rolly.

Whatever I did, I did for the good of the company, for the pilots.

Oh, never from me.

Not what I heard.

So how come they got you doing this?

I know.

It's a long way to fall.

But on the way down, I found something.

Something I'd lost. Something valuable.

My humility.

What? I know.

I realise you can't be a leader of men if you forget that you are but one of

them.

No. Tell me the Desmond's in the wrong place.

Nope.

You paid nearly $10 ,000 for a magneto.

Worth every cent.

What's it made of? Solid gold.

You could say that.

Hi.

I just wanted to say sorry.

You're giving her a hard time about Tom.

If he really makes you happy.

I think he will.

Then you've got my blessing.

Of course, he's still a dickhead.

Seriously, Dad.

I hope you have better luck than we do.

Looks like you still see the kids.

Of course.

I'm sorry about the way I handled it.

I guess I thought if I made it out to be easy, then somehow it would be.

No, I think you were right.

I've never really accepted that we were finished.

But... I don't think I'll ever get over you.

How can you say that?

I'm thinking of marrying someone else and you say something like that.

So shoot me, it's true.

You still feel that way about me?
