Julie and Oscar Charlie, this is Big Sky Base.

Hi, Scotty.

Ah, Julie and Oscar Charlie. Yeah, Shay.

Hey, Scotty. I was just wondering if you could divert and go to Ungarban to pick

up a parcel?

Well, is it a big parcel or a little parcel? I haven't got a lot of room.

It's so biggish.

Well, is it heavy or light?

I don't know. It's about average for a dead body.

Well, like I said, there's not a lot of room in here and I'm not very flush with

fuel at all today.

Stay cool, Scotty. Next guy, bye.

Scotty's got a car around him dead, buddy.

That's okay.

Scotty gets all the weird jobs.

Wait till it, um, starts talking to him.

It's the change in air pressure.

Oh, they fart and...

No, we should warn them. Oh, no, no.

You'll find out.

Oh, no.

It's like I said, mate. I don't think there's enough room. We'll have to

it. Can't do that.

You go off.

Well, that's true.

Well, there's nothing I can do. There's just no space.

Well, let me put him up there in the front passenger seat.

Oh, no. Hey, I don't think that's allowed.

What do you mean allowed?

We're paying for him.

Come on.

Come up here last week to do a show at the RSL.

He keeled over.

Right on stage.

Look at him go.

Yeah.

Oh, that's the way he would have wanted it.

A little good performer too.

There you go, Digger. You'll be right.

This is Juliet Oscar Charlie, Big Sky Base, you there?

Big Sky?

Yes.

This body's making some pretty funny noises.

Really?

What kind of noises?

Like burping and farting.

There's a new one on me.

Wow.

Sorry, there's some sort of interference.

I wish there was more I could do, you know.

Hey, chin up, okay?

Let's go bathe.

Hey, Scotty. I told you you get all the weird jobs.

No, I don't. Yes, you do. It's your birthright.

No, not them.

Am I the only one that does any work around here?

That's the idea.

Sit down.

I can't.

I've got more flights to do.

Be careful out there, Scotty.

Ladies and gentlemen, Scotty Gibbs has left the building.

I'm just going to get to all the dumb flights.

It's an immutable law of the universe.

What's he doing?

Oh, yuck! He's spewing everywhere!

Well, he's a crook. You gave him too much. I hardly gave him any.

Oh, Christ.

We have to drop him off. No, no, not yet. They can't touch us while we've got

him, right? You're crazy. It's kidnapping.

No, it's not.

Look, kidnapping's when you send ransom notes and stuff, right?

Eh? We're not sending any ransom notes. We're just hanging on to him.

You're a maddie.

Okay.

Thanks.

See you, Jen. All right.

Watch it now!

Get in!

What? Get another one!

Beauty, it's a Commodore. Get in the back of there.

Get out of here.

Get in!

Police reporting motorists stayed clear of the vehicle. A four -wheel drive Gray

Pajero. A police spokesman said the couple is armed and considered

Put the phone down!

Put it down!

Give me the piece.

You're kidding. No, come and have a look. It's true.

I thought the accountant said it would take three years. What would accountants

know?

Oh, my God, I can't believe this. I've actually done it.

That's so unfair.

No,

I don't.

Oh, good. I'm glad.

Well, they're, like, not worth it.

Kill him.

They're not the up -clatter, you know. They're built into every guy ever made.

Oh.

Excuse me.

Do you have a Roland Watson working here?

Yeah, we do, actually.

Who? Roly.

Could I see him, please?

Well, he's not here, but he'll be back shortly.

Oh, right.

Thank you.

Can I, um, have a name and tell him who called?

No, that's fine. Thank you.

Now, Matt, I've got an idea.

No more of your bloody ideas. Listen, we'll go by plane.

What? You can rent them.

PJ told me they'll take you anywhere.

We've got a Commodore. We've got good music. Let's go. There'll be roadblocks

and everything, right? It's a five -hour drive. We can be there in an hour, an

hour's stop.

And no one will know.

All right, grab the cash. We'll leave the kid. No, we've got to take him, just

in case. We don't need the kid.

He's just in the bloody way.

Having trouble with our car. We've got to get to Wongari, Ma.

Any chance we can rent you?

Card, I mean, you mean?

Card, yeah, that's it.

We can pay cash.

Yeah, our nephew's sick. We've got to get him home. He might even have to go

hospital.

Little fella, what's wrong with him?

He gets it from time to time, but he's on special medicine for it.

Well, kid. Yeah.

So what do you charge?

Yeah, it's got to be clear as long as you're back in time for policy.

Yeah, no, I should be back easy by then.

Thanks, Jade. Do you want to get off to Charlie?

Okay, bye.

Okay.

No worries.

Is he all right?

Okay, everyone better buckle in.

Ready to rip?

Hi. Hi.

Is Chris around? He's downstairs, I think. Sure, can you go and see if you

find Chris? Yeah, sure. Oh, it's no big deal. No, it's great.

I just said goodbye to a friend at the International Terminal.

I thought maybe Chris could give me a lift home.

He's not scheduled out, I know that much. Take a seat.

Something wrong?

I just said goodbye to a man who loves me.

He wants to marry me.

Am I stupid?

Depends.

Well, he's practically the perfect man.

He's kind and gentle and good with the kids.

The perfect man?

Yes. Speaking.

So that's how it is. As soon as my back's turned, you start talking about

No? Oh, well. It's a surprise.

Now you're up with some boring things you'll never be satisfied with. And to

make matters worse, I heard it from Nathan.

I just feel sorry for you, Paula.

P .S. I'll send Trudy over to pick up my Walkman.

Perfect. Now send an email.

Oh no, everyone will read it.

They're going to read it anyway.

Hello, Rick Room.

Monica.

No.

Yeah, I... Sure.

Bye. Bye.

Oh, Rolly, um, I forgot to tell you, some women arrived to see you today.

Mm, really beautiful.

Well, thanks.

Hey, what was all that stuff about the perfect guy?

Tom's gone to London.

That's who I thank goodbye to.

And he was the perfect guy? Are you serious?

Yeah. In a way, he was.

I think that's why I turned him down.

See you.

What was that?

Don't ask me. I've got no idea.

I think it's the unperfectness with you.

Are we still separated?

He doesn't sound too good.

Shut him up, Michelle, will you? You shut him up.

You sure he's all right? Does this one work?

Yeah. I'm going to give this a go at flying.

Is he your nephew?

Yeah, her nephew. Shut him up, will you, Michelle? Stop worrying.

Oh, look, we should put down and get him to a hospital. I told you, he's okay.

He comes out of it and he's okay, dead set.

I could do this.

It's against regulations.

Oh, big deal. He's going to find out.

Oh, no. He's fueling it again.

That's it. I'm putting down. No, no, no. Keep going. He's all right. No, he's

not. No, no. Forget it. He does that all the time. Hey, I'm not stupid. I swear.

Trust me. I know what you're doing.

Do away with your time.

I've had a cup full of you, too.

He's all angry, is he?

He's going to shoot someone.

Piss off.

What, like completely bad luck for the bride to see the groom at all? You know,

they can't even speak to each other. It's like the worst karma of marriage.

Oh, this is a job for Scotty, I'm telling you. Lexi, we're taking Charlie

Is Chris back yet? No, but he's on his way.

So, where is the happy couple? Well, the groom's downstairs and the bride should

be here any minute.

Speak of the devil. Ah, Anne.

You look lovely.

And you're right on time.

Lexi will take you down to your aircraft and I'll be along in a minute.

Thanks. Hi.

Just through here.

How's Robbie?

What do you mean?

Oh, well, she just seemed a bit upset about some guy.

Oh, yeah.

But you two seem to be getting on a bit better these days.

Why are you asking?

Oh, are you?

there yet?

It's a 90 minute flight.

Shut up, Michelle.

What are you doing? I'm just changing the coat.

Leave it. I said cut it out.

You're an emergency frequency like taxi drivers, haven't you?

Crap. Cut it out now or blow your hand off.

I was just changing the frequency on the radio. No radios neither.

You want me to bout you again? Oh, yeah, Laurie, you big, tough guy.

I've got one bloody hand. How's she gonna fly?

Shut up, Michelle.

Shut up, you filth.

Yeah,

thank you.

Oh, it's a nice date for it.

And his smile, it looks like he's going to a funeral.

So what do you do, Anne?

Childcare.

Where'd you meet Steve?

Oh, at the centre.

He was building a jungle gym for the kids.

Yeah, he's great with kids, isn't he?

Can't wait to be a dad.

So, what's it like flying a plane?

Great, I love it.

Yeah, have you been doing it for long?

Oh, a few years now.

Took a while to talk my parents around, though. They actually wanted me to do

what Anne's doing.

What about you? Do you fly?

Yeah, I do.

Although I'm fairly new to it.

She's also the boss of the whole big guy.

Yep.

Seriously?

That'd be great.

The serious bits are over.

Hey, when did you decide to get married?

Two weeks ago. Why? Well, can I ask something? I mean, I'm sure you're doing

right thing and everything, but how did you know that, you know, she was the

one?

Because, I mean, you know, I thought Rhonda was the one and Jane and Karen

and... Sarah.

Thank you, Sarah and Joanne, you know. Get the picture, Jimbo. Yeah, but how

you know?

I don't know, mate. You just know, you know? Know.

Hi.

Roland's expecting me.

OK, um...

What's wrong with him?

I don't know.

He's having some kind of bad reaction or something. He was all sweaty before.

Now he's gone all dry.

He looks awful. I'm telling you, we have to get him to a hospital.

Is he going to be all right? How the hell would I bloody know? How come I've

to know everything?

You gave him too much. Oh, yeah, that'd be right. All my fault. You bloody blame

everyone but yourself, Laurie. Well, you injected him. It was your idea.

Whose idea was it to grab him in the first place?

God, he's a big hot shot gangster.

You're the one that wanted to bring him on a plane. I wanted to get rid of him.

So what were you going to do, shoot him?

God, you're a loser, Laurie. Yeah, and you're ugly.

Loser. And you're fat. And you're stupid.

Loser, loser, loser, loser.

Shut up, both of you. Look, I don't know who you are, okay, and I don't care,

but that kid is really ill, and if we don't stop...

I can't even remember the end of the night.

Yeah, it sounds like a classic Bucks party.

Yeah. Are you married?

I was.

Did you have a Bucks night?

Yes. Yes, I remember... I think we knocked off somebody's boat, and the

thing I recall was Joey Morgan, you know, that abandoned ship.

What, did you think it? Well, I don't quite remember, but I remember we all

finished up swimming in the harbour. After that, it was a bit blurry.

The point about Bucks parties is that's where you realise what a bunch of

dickheads your best friends are. Yeah, they are.

I wasn't too happy with these guys. What?

Listen, mate, if Yaga had a tongue down my throat, I'd be happy. Hey, listen, if

Annie ever hears about that, mate, I'm... Who's going to tell her?

Yaga.

Mate, I was pretty pissed.

Anyway, she's my ex -girlfriend, and that doesn't really count.

Are you kidding?

It counts more.

It's worse.

Steve, he is so cute, you know that? And he could have had anyone, but he chose

Annie. Lucky girl.

Yep.

I wonder what would have happened if I'd gone through with it.

Do you ever regret it?

Yeah.

No. Or sort of.

Sometimes.

I called my wedding off.

Really?

Yeah, he was a nice guy and everything.

It was me. I was getting married for all the wrong reasons. Yep, the trick is

knowing what all the right reasons are.

Love. What else?

I'm going to be sick.

Oh, there's a bag in the back of the seat there.

Look, you'll be fine once we get there. It's just nerves.

Here, have a drink of water. I don't want to get there.

I don't want to see Steve. I'm calling it off. Oh, Annie.

No. I've thought about it.

I'm not doing it.

Look, he has to go back.

Look, just have a drink, all right?

No, I bumped into Paul Meyer.

He said he thought he knew where you were and I thought, why not?

Yeah, why not?

You're not angry, are you?

I didn't think you'd mind, not after all this time.

No, it's good to see you.

You look rich.

Martin's got a good practice.

What do you do?

I shop.

I travel.

How's your wife?

Are you still married too?

Janie died.

Sorry?

I got married again four years ago.

Annie, you can't just call it off, all right? Everybody's waiting. Your dad's

paid all this money. You're just nervous. That's understandable.

It's not nerves. I've just changed my mind, that's all.

Take your time to think about it. I mean, you'll be right. No, I won't.

I'm not doing it.

Bravo, this is Charlie Tango Delta.

Whiskey Victor Bravo here, Lauren.

Uh, Chris, we have a little bit of a problem.

What's up?

Are you absolutely sure?

The bride wanted to call the wedding off.

What?

What, cancel everything?

Yeah, everything. We're turning back, I think.

No, why?

Um, Lauren, is there a reason?

She won't say. She just wants you to tell the groom.

Yeah, well, he knows.

Stand by.

What do you want to do?

Can I talk to her?

Sure. Lauren, Steve wants to talk to her.

Sorry, Chris, she refuses to talk to him.

Bianca.

Do you reckon?

Man, I've got to talk to her.

Lauren, I think they should communicate, don't you?

Stand by, Chris. We'll get back to you.

Yeah.

Saved my marriage, in a way.

After you and I split up.

Felt kind of easier to settle down.

Yeah, me too.

Did you ever tell your wife?

No.

I've nearly told Martin a thousand times, but I can't.

Don't know why. After all these years, I don't think he'd fuss too much.

Anyway, none of his business, really.

It was between us. I still think about him every now and then.

When you hear Spanish Harlem.

Me too.

I still dream about you sometimes.

Phil.

I dripped about you with nothing on the other night.

And now look at you. Oh.

Look at you, then.

You're still so beautiful.

Do you think so?

Yes, I do.

Floppy. He's dead. You OD'd him. He's not dead, you wanker. He's alive. Look,

Danielle was like this. Hey, exactly the same.

If he dies, it's murder.

It's not murder. No one's tried to kill him. No, mate, it doesn't matter. I'll

tell you who's going to get murdered. Not now, Laurie.

We've got to get him that stuff that they gave Danielle.

Narcane. Yeah, right. Where are we going to get that from? I can touch down a

good one. We can find a doctor there. No, no way. No doctor. They don't trust

the bar. The only way. We've got to find this Narcane stuff.

Look.

Let's just go to one, Gary Marlock. We always plan.

Come on, look at him.

He'll be all right. Look, it's not my bloody fault.

We can land him. We can grab the stuff from the chemist. Just land him. Grab

some. There'll be cups everywhere.

Look at him.

Poor kid. Who'd he ever hurt?

Gary Marlock, what do you care?

We're stopping.

Do you hear me? We're going.

Would you and her like a coffee or something?

Unless she's gone.

Dumb idea.

Well, as soon as we leave the plane, he's going to call cops.

I've got it all under control.

Me and him will go and get the stuff. You're right, Mike. He's going to help

out.

Dumb plan.

Well, why don't you come up with something better? Well, I'd like to make

statement. Stop criticising me.

The most important thing's the kid, yeah?

So don't worry, I'll help you out. Do whatever you want.

See, men and women are fundamentally different. It's not just the bits.

You know, like when a woman makes up her mind about something... Nothing can

change it. He's pretty right, guys. Women only ever change their mind about

little things.

You've noticed that, huh?

Movies, clothes, restaurants.

But anything big, forget it.

I think we're in trouble.

We're going to have to come up with some sort of response.

If somebody's told her about Bianca, there's nothing I can do.

Lie.

Deny it.

Deny it to the last breath in your body.

How can I, mate? It happened.

Not fair, I've never been a bridesmaid before.

There you go, Anne.

Just think about it, are you sure?

A lot of people get cold feet at the last minute.

Look at Lexi.

No, I've been thinking about it for ages.

From what I've heard, he really loves you. Chris said he's very upset.

It's better this way.

You don't understand.

If she's got doubts, it's better that she stops it now.

I had a friend who broke it off a short night before the wedding.

Guy wouldn't take the ring back, so she had it broken down into earrings.

They love me.

All right.

Narcane in ampules, syringes and needles, 21 gauge, all right?

And you, you better not draw anything.

If he does, I'll bloody put a bullet in him.

I won't, I promise. Hang on, Laurie. Give me a kiss. Come back.

Kiss yourself.

How are we going to get into town?

Car. How do you think?

Taxi.

You're stupid.

See this one?

It'll be here all day. I'll be back in a minute.

Are you going to knock it off?

No, I'm going to buy it.

Details. She's not going to want to know details.

If Bianca exists, oh, that's enough.

No, no, no. You muddy the details.

I'm suggesting the partial confession.

What the hell is a partial confession?

If she even gets a sniff of confession, the wedding is more than off. Well, it's

going to be more than off if it's off. It's off. That's my point about

confession. A groveling semi -confession. Leaving out the worst bits,

by an apology. Women have apologies.

Yeah, when they know what you're apologising for. Oh, no, no, no, no. The

apology overrides all that.

OK, I'll go with that.

Right.

OK, you ready? I think you'd better talk to her yourself.

No, no, no, it's about luck.

OK, OK.

Charlie Tango Delta.

Go ahead,

Chris.

Byron, there's something I think I should tell you.

There is?

Yeah, it's that Steve knows.

That Anne knows that somebody called Bianca popped in for a short visit at

of the pre -wedding parties.

A short visit?

Yes, and he's really, truly sorry.

And it didn't mean anything, and nothing happened anyway.

Slut. I knew it.

I knew something had happened.

She is such a slut.

Men are such dickheads.

How do you think it's going?

Lauren?

Yeah, stand by, Whiskey Victor Browning.

or five of these and a few decals and you're away for the night.

What do you

reckon I'm going to do? He could smash you. He could be in there in a

minute. He comes in, I'll shoot him in the guts.

She's a junkie. Hey, you just watch your face, pal.

What are you doing?

Turn away.

Jeez, I tell you, that was the coolest thing I ever saw.

I'm lucky I did. You would have shot him. Bitch, you sweet arse, I would have

shot him. I hate those mongrels.

You would have shot anyone?

Shot my brother in the leg, lad.

We were both dead.

I mean, shot dead.

Nah, nah.

I'd like to, but once when me and Michelle hit the ride, we're going to

the guy.

Why?

Just to see what it's like.

Why didn't you?

Stay calm, mate. That leaning's stupid.

Good afternoon, sir. You've been stopped for the purposes of a random breath

test. Have you consumed any alcohol today?

No. Would you please take a deep breath and blow into this white tube until I

tell you to stop?

Okay, stop there.

Thank you very much. You're clear to go.

Maybe just give him one chance, okay?

He could at least listen to what he wants to say. He could have an

I know what he's going to say, and I don't want to hear it.

It's okay, Anne.

We understand.

I didn't want it to be this way.

Can you ask her something for me?

Sure.

Can you ask her about the baby?

Steve's got a difficult question.

If the wedding's off, what about the baby?

The baby?

Annie?

Jeez, you took your time. You should have seen this guy. He knocked the

into the mud. Yeah, right, big deal. You're going to be all right now. Yeah,

right, big deal. Let's go.

We've got to give him the narcone first. No, not here. He's here now. Look at

him. No, mate, take off first, then we'll fix him up. Laurie, please, look

him. He's running out of time. Go on.

I did, didn't I?

Yeah, well, you were lonely without your little logger. Come here.

I'll miss you.

Come on.

I'll miss you, baby.

All I'm saying is that having a baby makes it better. No way.

Bang, you're married. Bang, you've got kids.

Where's the time for just the two of you? Yeah, good point.

You should get to know each other. Bang, then have kids. I'm not talking about

having kids.

I'm talking about Annie having a baby. What's the bloody difference? You

wouldn't understand.

All I'm saying is I'm glad, you know?

I hope it's a boy.

You never told me.

We never told anyone. Yeah, well, you should have told me. I'm your best

No wonder you've been looking so shocking lately. Did you tell Wendy?

I did.

And you thought you had to get married. I mean, that went out ages ago. Bring up

a baby on your own if you want. You don't want him. I'll marry him.

Huh? You don't have to have a baby at all if that's what you want. You can't

have an abortion. That's just terrible. You don't understand.

What? I thought I was pregnant.

But I'm not.

There's no baby.

Whiskey Victor, this is Charlie Tango Delta.

Yeah, Lauren.

Uh, Chris, we have something of a development here.

Um, there is no baby.

Anne's not pregnant.

Why not?

Wrong question.

Yeah, I got that. Thanks, Charlie Tango.

We're on approach in two minutes.

You all right?

Charlie Tango Delta.

Look at it this way.

Police are off the hook.

It's a win -win situation. I don't want to be off the hook.

I wanted a baby.

Down there. See that long paddock?

It's a bit thick.

Oh, hey, I can't land there, mate. I thought we were going to Wongari.

We are, nearly. This is it. It looks fine from up here. You get down there,

could be full of rabbit holes or anything.

Oh, jeez, you're a pain in the arse. That's it.

Why are you always arguing all the time? Sit here, Murray.

Bloody will. Hey, give me a go. I'll set it. Come on, let me have a go.

Ian, watch it. Come on, do it.

Do it.

If we had bullets, your brains would be all over the windscreen, sucker.

Come on, Michelle, give me the weapon back. You've been a pain in the ass.

Me?

Keep your pants on. Come on, give me the weapon.

Big Sky Base, this is Juliet Oscar Charlie. Come in. Big Sky Base, Shay,

me. Are you there?

Big Sky Base, this is Juliet Oscar Charlie. Come in.

And it's Steve.

I know you probably don't want to talk to me and everything, but I'll say what

have to say anyway.

I don't understand why you lied to me. I guess you pretty much had your own

reasons. But it's okay, I don't mind.

Steve?

I really thought I was pregnant, honest.

I just couldn't believe it when you popped the question.

But why not?

Because I thought that's why you were marrying me, because of the baby.

So when I got my period, I thought, well, now you'll dump me for sure, and I

really wanted to marry you, so I just didn't say anything.

I'm sorry, Stevie.

You can go and have babies with someone else if that's what you want.

But I don't want to do that.

But I thought you were so happy about a baby.

That's because it was ours.

I don't want to marry a baby. I want to marry you.

Really?

You're talking about Bianca.

Well, I am a bit.

Do you still want to get married?

Do you?
