Social intolerance and misunderstanding are the perfect partners in the trial

facing the court.

Are we to judge the prisoner purely on his actions or his motives?

Is he guilty through provocation or impulse?

Hey, who's joking?

I'm deadly serious.

I really do think you are.

Well, I like you too, but you know what's happening this way. So what?

It's all the more reason for you to enjoy your last few nights.

Me, buddy.

I thought you were going bowling tonight.

It's all right. It's just got to be a nosey. You can't see me, can you?

I've got Gloria over here in the car and she wants to say hi to you.

Yeah?

And you told Gloria hi to me, huh?

But some other time, huh?

Is that the message?

Look, man, I'm a bit tied up.

I know what you mean.

Listen. Ring you tomorrow, buddy.

See you later. Bye.

Don't you dare tell anyone about tonight.

Not a sign.

Anyway, what's to tell?

Just a friendly last trip.

Hey, time.

Don't be like that, son.

Can you take me home, please?

Going to summer city where the girls are real pretty. Gonna shoot me a wave or

two.

Spend all day just hanging out the back with nothing else to do.

I've got my woody tuned high. There's no clouds in the sky.

The surf isn't falling just fine.

Gonna wax up a plank and find a good bank and hang out all down the night.

When the sun goes down, I just hang around town.

Got the jukebox meanie.

Watch out, boo.

Got her cheating on you.

I said, watch out, boo.

Got her cheating on you.

I said, watch out, boo.

Got her cheating on you.

Scallop!

Oh, g'day, Mr. Lloyd.

Scallop in?

You ain't having an hour, are you, Dad?

Oh.

Mind if I wait here, then?

Oh,

g'day, Scallop. Where do you mean, mate?

Righto, mate.

G'day, Dad.

Why don't you be on target?

Nice day.

Everything set?

Yeah, mate.

Bye, Dad.

You all right, Rob? Hey, mate.

Best time to get out of the place. Oh, sorry.

Don has been driving me mad with preparation.

I don't know.

I didn't want me to go, though. He's been driving me crazy.

Hello, Peter. How are you? Oh, not too bad, mate.

How's yourself?

Good.

What are you doing here?

Oh, I don't care. Booze me, mate.

Morning, boys.

Sorry, I'm late.

Oh, Robbie, do you know Gloria?

No, but I've heard all about you, Gloria.

What time is it?

Jesus, I've got to pack.

Might be long, Sandy!

Lenny, can you guide me up a bit before you go?

G'day Sandy, how you going?

Hi, how are you?

Awesome. Brian?

No. George?

No. Breakfast, mate?

No.

Come on, let's go. No, I don't want to. No, I'm sorry.

What's up, mate?

Put the ball on the spot, mate.

Go off and roll?

Yeah, mate.

Not that hard of a mate.

They're all sisters, mate.

She looks like she could be related to Goof, Wendy.

Give it a big job behind the counter, mate.

Why not?

G'day, Sweater.

My name's Boo.

What's yours?

Boo? What sort of name's that?

Short for Boo -Boo.

Oh, you make mistakes.

Just, uh, just watch the tape, will you?

Ah, could you make that four, uh, do a shout, isn't it, fella?

Oh, don't worry about them, son. They're just jokes.

Yeah.

Dear, I've come back from Hawaii, and I'm a bit short of ready cash.

Hurry up with that tape, will you? I'll have a lemonade.

Oh, you shout, is it?

Oh, for your Sandy?

Like they said, it's great for the wife.

Like I said, they're just jealous, darling.

Are you guys hungry?

Yeah.

Four -handed, darling.

Listen,

we don't want any of that dirty talk here, mate.

Oh, sorry, must have been a slip of the tongue.

Sorry, dear.

Doesn't he ever give up?

That's why we all love him.

Hey, cool it, you guys. I need plenty of space.

side, mate, and let an expert have a go.

One more time.

You bloody shit!

Okay, that's enough.

Excuse my friend.

Don't excuse me, mate. Somebody has to.

What can I do for you, mate?

If you think it's special, boys.

Hey, you've got to be joking.

I just cooked them. Yeah?

Last year.

Oh, hey, now you won't.

I wouldn't feed this to me dog.

Hey, shut up. Let's go, boys.

Bloody slop out.

Slop out?

Yeah, I like a bit of service in a brothel. Don't you speak to me like

You boys show me ladies like that, and I'll be glad to get married anytime.

Hey, imagine being married to a scrubber like that, Boo.

You're not careful you find yourself married to one like that.

Boo's a little burger bar with a pet of a little burger speed everywhere.

You know, Sandy, you're a comedian.

I didn't know you were a comedian.

What are you being a comedian for?

Oh, but you're getting married.

That's funny.

Yeah. Yeah, that's funny.

Get out of the car, son.

Out of the car.

You, out. Come on, out.

Okay. Right.

What the hell is he doing out there?

What are you doing?

Got your mouth full of bloody knuckles.

God damn the bloody thing, eh?

Bloody thing's all flat there.

I got your bloody knuckles.

You're the little muck with all the lip, eh?

Shit!

that Frankie's first, mate.

Aye.

Aye, wasn't he supposed to have churned this heap last week?

Right. Chockers, you can't trust them, mate.

Check the radiator, Sandy.

Here's a beer, mate.

Where's all these red -hot birds you were telling us about?

We'll find them, we'll find them. They must have heard you were coming.

Hey, watch this here. Quick, a cone.

Red alert, mate.

Red alert.

Looks all right, too.

Bye, baby.

We thought you might know what our functionised guys could do around here.

We make our own fun.

What does NRNRH stand for?

No route, no ride, eh?

Don't take any notice of me, Caroline.

What's your name, sweetie?

See you tonight, Caroline, 7 .30.

Anyway, look, you better stop following me. I live near here and my father

wouldn't like it.

Hey, that's a coincidence.

We all left them for a place to crash, yeah?

All right, sweetie, you run along. I'll see you later.

Hey Robbie, what's in your fancy for me, mate?

That's what I like, a challenge, mate.

Yeah, something I can get my teeth into.

Cheers, yeah.

Oh, thanks, mate.

I think we'd better get some stubbies, too, for the trip.

We have a couple dozen stubbies. A couple dozen stubbies, yeah.

Thanks a lot, mate.

It's about time, mate. What about this dance, eh?

What's happening, boys?

What's the story?

You got any daughters at home, mate?

I've got a couple.

You've got... They're well looked after. Hey, listen.

You've got a couple of children.

Listen, mate, we might have a... We've got a few more for us. We might have

another four, eh?

Yeah, you're a wally.

Get out of the car and get it. Scald it.

Any money on you, mate? Yeah, mate.

Oh, hang on.

Here's the bank up there, mate.

It's about your share.

I don't care.

Three beers and another squash.

No, I'm right.

I'm right.

Come here, boys.

Come

on,

let me get the breakfast, lads.

Bobby Woods.

Joe Matthews.

Oh, Mr.

Matthews, we were wondering if we could get a beer for the night.

Five bob a night, two bob for facilities.

Hey, this might work for you, but the shithouse will be cheaper.

How about you, Billy? Is it all the same?

Well, we were wondering if we could sleep on the ground first.

Four bob a night, we're done.

Well, do you mind showing us the rounds here?

That's a Caroline bird, Caroline, mate.

Boy, that's unreal, mate.

Hey, you know when we picked her, you know, met her down the street?

Had R -O -O -T written all over her face, mate.

Top one, really, top bird.

She has to be the best bit of gear in the bay.

Hey, she's been able to get the pegs.

I'll bet you a quid, mate. I'm into that before 10 o 'clock.

Want to take me on?

You're on.

Here it goes again, mate.

Keep away from those Latikas.

See you later.

I just can't wait for the night, mate.

How was Gloria the other night?

Six out of ten, sort of.

You know, nothing out of this world, mate, but that, that.

But Boo, he's like that all the time. Don't let him get at you.

Well, that's just it.

Let's sleep in a shit house.

No finesse, no thought.

It's not working, Rob.

I think I should go now.

I appreciate December.

Why ruin a good weekend?

Okay, all right, all right.

But I'm not going to the dance.

I'm not in the mood.

You're upset that I scored Gloria, aren't you?

No. You are.

You've done your batteries over a bird.

I never thought I'd see the day, mate.

What, Gloria?

Do you have a staked out, mate?

Oh, listen, man, I just... You know, she's always been just one of the girls,

right? How long have we known her? Two years?

Right? Right?

If I'd known you had a staked out, mate, I wouldn't have gone near her. That's

the gospel, right?

You believe it?

I would not have touched her.

Listen, if I'd known, right, you had a staked out, I wouldn't have gone in here

with a bloody barge pole. I believe you. Yeah. Yeah, you look like you believe

me too. I do.

Yeah.

Listen, mate, the dancers on tonight, look, if she's got a sister, we'll both

in, I promise you.

Right?

Give the old routine, mate.

No, listen, bullshit about Gloria.

Right?

Hey, boo.

Well, I'll see you later.

Lay off Sandy.

What's the story?

I'm trying to get him away for a weekend.

Well, we agreed to it in the beginning. Give him a good time.

Riding him, mate.

He's been whinging since we started, man. Right?

Let's have a good time.

Let's have a good time. Right, right.

Come on.

Nice job.

And you're seeing ideas.

Come on.

Okay.

Why are you here, Hawkeye?

Oh,

come on.

Good. I want to see you later, all right?

Well,

here we are again, gang. Are you enjoying yourselves tonight?

Great, that's the way it should be. Now, you know, when you came through the

door tonight... You've got tickets, right? Now, this is our door prize for

And this happens to be for two tickets to go along next Wednesday night to the

old tin shed, the Sydney Stadium, to see the great crash tragedy.

And I now want to get into something. I think that these guys have been

doing such a marvellous job. These guys, I've heard them work and seen them work

around the place. And they are the Marshall Brothers. Let's put our hands

together.

because it's such a success, and it always goes down well wherever we do the

dance things. And that right now, Johnny B. Goode!

Back up in the woods amongst the evergreens, there stands a long cabin

earth and wood.

Did the country boy named Johnny be good?

Never ever learned to read or write so well. We could play guitar just like a

ringing of bells. Go!

He used to carry his guitar in a gun and sack.

Sit beneath the trees by the railroad track.

Not all day long, he sits in the shade.

Strumming to the rhythm that the drivers make.

People passing by.

You will be a man.

You will be the leader of a big old band, baby. People gonna come and bounce

around. We'll play a rhythm when the sun goes down.

Maybe someday your name will be in lights. Say, Johnny, be good tonight.

Let's go!

Go, Johnny, go!

Go, Johnny, go, go.

Go, Johnny, go, go.

Go, Johnny, go, go.

Go, Johnny, go, go.

So go, Johnny, be good.

This is a soft breeze.

Ah, wow.

Hey. Hey, that's it. Come on.

Come on.

Terrific.

Hey, a couple of steps. There you go.

Come on, baby.

I'm coming.

Come on, baby.

Come on, it's beautiful.

Come on over the top.

Hey, it's beautiful.

Don't worry about your dress, just throw it away.

Alright.

Come on.

It's beautiful.

What are you doing?

Is that good?

I forgot to ask you, can you swim?

Of course I can swim.

Thanks a lot.

Isn't that good?

Someone taught me to dance with snakes in there.

What are you doing? No, baby.

Stay.

No.

No, no.

All right.

Swim with me.

Seen anything of Catiline?

No, I haven't, no.

It's over.

That's what it was.

I can't see you tomorrow, baby.

I've got things to do, you know.

We'll be leaving tomorrow.

I'll tell you what.

Next time I come back, we'll do it right, okay?

Come on, baby. Look, your old man will be waiting up for you.

You've got to go now.

Aren't you going to take me home?

Yeah, what if your old man's up and sees me, eh?

Yeah, they'll be held up, eh, right?

I gotta go.

Thank you.

Great out there today.

Looks really good.

Really like the sea.

Most everyone I know likes the sea.

Expect your own.

You seem to be part of it, though.

What is it you like about surfing?

I don't know.

It's hard to say.

Well, if you could ride yourself, you'd know why.

It's just a sport.

Oh, no, no. It's more than just a sport, mate.

It might sound stupid, but it's more a way of life, I suppose.

Say, if you've got any problems or worries or anything like that, there's

place to go.

Or just take them all out there and thrash it out on the way.

Where's the future in it, mate?

Out there for hours now.

In the water, out the water.

Nowhere to go.

Right, there's nowhere to go.

It's all there already, mate.

Yeah, but... Where's the security in surfing for the rest of your life?

What would you be doing in ten years' time?

I'll be doing something in ten years' time.

So I guess in ten years' time, that's what I'll be doing.

You're moving down the wall, how steady as she goes. You've got your toes upon

the nose. Now you're hanging by, hanging by, hanging by.

Toes upon the Malibu.

And now you've hit the beach and you're feeling mighty fine. You turn your boat

around for the second time. You make it out the back, swells are coming fast.

The first ones are too small and so you take the last. You've got to walk the

plank, ride the horse.

Call it a lesson, Ryan, and keep it nice and tight. And now the time is on me.

You're moving down the wall. That lady, as she goes, you got your toes upon the

nose. And now you hang fine, hang fine, hang fine, toes upon the nose.

And when the night is through, you hear the fellas sing.

Don't forget tomorrow, you've got another day. You've got to walk the

as a hose.

Crawl it left and right and keep it nice and tight. And now the time is growing

near, you're moving down the wall.

Now steady as he goes, you've got your toes up on the load. Now you hang your

mind, hang your mind.

It's not really working that good today, but any time you come in here, it's

usually 10 feet.

No trouble. Through the pier there, I'd say 10 foot all along here, left and

right plates.

No trouble at all. We've got the best surf on the coast.

We usually get a good break down here early in the morning, you know. It's not

bad. Because we work shift work up here in the mine, you know.

Do you come here much to us?

No. No?

All right then. Hey!

Bring the wax over, will you?

Anyway, coming out?

Oh, what a sound. It really stokes me. Well, gang, I'm going to wrap it up.

after yourselves out there, and remember, a rickapoodie and a fan

He did a good time with it.

What about your dig, mate?

My dig?

You're battling, pal.

Put the money up front. I'm not the proud type.

Put the money up front.

What do you think?

What do you think?

You got any more on you, mate?

I have a few more.

Come on the cliff again.

Take it proper. Is she up for the group here or what? Yes, she will talk to us

today. She's got plenty of money.

You're Bruce's friend, aren't you?

Yes. Well, do you know where he is? What?

I've got a problem.

What? What are you trying to say?

You're trying to say that Bruce seduced you?

What you've done, have you any idea of the extent of the thing that you've done

to yourself?

How old are you?

Fifteen.

My God.

You don't even know the man. I mean, you met this boy once.

You're fifteen. You don't know the meaning of the word love yet.

And you just give yourself away.

You just gave yourself away. It's not that bad.

How can he say he loves you? Do you love him?

How can you love somebody? You only met him once.

My God, you just threw something that's sacred, you just threw it out the door.

For what? For some fool who you met once?

I mean, what if you are pregnant?

What will this town, I mean, what is it going to say?

This town?

All right, pull them in, please.

Mind if I join you for a while?

I couldn't leave without speaking to one of the more lovely locals.

You've got a lovely pair of hands.

So I couldn't go with you.

You make me sick.

I've read better lines in magazines.

You're only a boy. What the hell are you now?

I'll see you later.

No, wait a minute.

I'm going to talk to you anyway.

Maybe you'll listen to me more than the rest of this bloody town does.

Even him.

Who's he?

My husband.

Well, as to what she did to that poor bitch Caroline.

Poor love, she's probably suffering hell.

Yeah, all the start of her trouble.

Help?

In case you don't know, this is a small town.

Jack the Maltman saw you and her up at the water tower.

And Marge Berryman saw her coming home very upset.

And a grapevine is better than a newspaper.

Listen.

She wanted it.

Look, I made her happy.

I know your story.

I've met you before.

And someone liked you.

It doesn't matter.

Couldn't be better than us, anyway.

Boo is Boo.

Boo doesn't love you.

Boo loves Boo.

Listen, what if he's pregnant?

The whole town will know.

They'll think you're a whore.

Look, you've got to tell your father.

Tell your father. I can't do it.

You've got to tell...

They ostracized me for years.

Even when I got married, they never got over it.

True.

When I had this girl once, I'll tell you, I was

so wrapped up with her, it was laugh or whatever they call it.

The real thing.

Just like in the movies.

Anyway.

The more I did for her.

I'm ashamed of some really good times.

The more she came to expect.

So when I ran out of the good times.

One night.

When she was supposed to be at the movies with her girlfriend.

She was out driving, one of me best mates.

I would never have found out if they hadn't smashed and killed themselves.

I'm sorry.

It's tough. No, it's okay.

You never told me how you made out with Caroline the other night. How was she,

eh? Made like a mouse's ear.

Bit young, wasn't she? Bit dangerous forcing a young girl. Oh, I didn't force

her. I just helped her make up her mind, that's all.

He didn't go to church today.

Too tired?

Enjoyed the dance last night?

What time did you get in last night?

Well, this morning.

It was this morning, wasn't it?

Who was he? I don't know. What was his name?

I don't know.

You don't know, is it? No, but... You got into all kinds of trouble and you...

It wasn't your fault.

You must know his name. You must know who he was. What's his name?

I don't want to hurt you, Daddy. I know, darling. I know you don't want to hurt

me.

Who was he?

What's his name?

Who was he?

The smart one.

This is quite the trap up ahead.

Well, wasn't there a sign?

Must have blown down. This is it.

If you're going 30 miles down a dirt track in the middle of nowhere, you want

be bloody sure it's the right way. Hey, listen.

If you want to get out, there's a door, all right?

Listen, cut it out, you miserable lot. Let's get the beer and have a good time.

Last fling.

Want to be the last?

Yeah.

Yeah, this wedding's really got you screwed up, hasn't it?

I'm never getting married, mate, I tell you.

Depends on the girl.

Vic, what kind of girl, man? The kind you can trust.

Trust?

Listen, if you want my advice, we'll call it off right now. Now, why should I

take your advice?

Because he's been with every chick around.

Oh, there might be one or two who've missed out.

Come on, dude, cut it out.

Oh, you've got a great chick, bud, Sandy.

Yeah, we all think so, don't we, fellas?

Yeah. Yeah, there's two kinds.

The kind you marry and the kind you...

Jesus,

am I a milling bear.

Shit.

Kind of you, Blase, give us a hand.

How far is the beach from here?

Oh, can't you think of anything except surf and sex?

None of you know where we are.

You'd really kill me.

The Axles Ratchet will be here for the night.

Come on, Sandy.

We'll need fireworks.

The car's stuffed.

Look, mate, I've had it with this.

Great weekend.

Sleeping on the ground.

And a whinger.

Robbie shouldn't have bought him.

He's up himself.

Moping about that stupid chick.

What the hell's he seeing her anyway?

Enjoy yourself.

After next week, things will be different.

It'll be all over for you, mate.

You mean the marriage?

Christ, hasn't it occurred to you yet that that's what I want?

Sure, mate.

But everyone has their last fling. Why?

For you and them back there.

I've outgrown that wrong.

And when you grow up, you will too.

Grow up?

If growing up means...

Settling down with one person for the rest of your life, I don't want to know

about it.

She's the lady, Robbie.

The one you can trust.

Like I told you, mate, you can't trust any of them.

They're all the same.

Donna's no different from any of them.

One man, woman.

What a joke.

It all depends on who you're with at the time.

I thought she seemed like the faithful kind.

Yeah? Yeah.

Yeah?

Who do you recognise with at the car park last Thursday night?

Yeah, you remember.

The night you came to the window.

Oh, wow.

You and Donna in the car park.

All right.

All right.

What happened?

What happened? What

happened?

No, I...

I think Sandy has the rifle.

What rifle?

Oh, mine. Well, Rob asked me to bring it along to shoot rabbits with for food,

maybe. Oh, boy scout stuff. Oh, boy scout stuff. Yeah, great.

Scholar. What?

Yeah, mate. What?

Listen, I'm split, mate.

That bastard out there's done his nut.

Look,

it'll be all right.

Stick around. It'll be all right. No, he's got a gun, mate.

Look, don't be stupid.

Sandy's only trying to give you a fright. Are you coming?

No.

Look, how will you get home anyway?

I'll itch.

Don't worry, I'll be okay.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Yeah, I'm okay.

Stop!

Night.

the defendant must be judged on his intentions, were they deliberate or in

-defense.

Having assessed the evidence presented to the court, along with the defendant's

motives, I find the decision a difficult one, but after much deliberation,

pronounce Sandy Harrison not guilty and serve notice for his acquittal.
