Please thank the Tony
Bartuccio Dancers... You ready?
34
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,279
OK, so, just remember,
he's not gonna stick to the script
35
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,559
and he kind of likes it
if you tease him a little bit.
36
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,719
What? CLEARS THROAT
37
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,199

Are we lucky? Yes!
39
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,679
Well done.

00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,839

You look beautiful. Thank you.
54
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,040
Gerry. Good to see you. Yeah.
55
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,400
Whoo!
56
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,719
Now, tell me...
57
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,919
Oh, is there still anything left
to discuss about this election?
58
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:50,919
Well, I think this election might be
59
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:52,799
a lot closer than people think,
Gerry.
60
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,239
Really, Dale?
Yes.
61
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,919
Well, people are tipping
for a Hawke re-election,
62
00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:59,599
but I'm not so sure,
and like any election night,
63
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,719
there might be some... turns,
some twists, some surprises,
64
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,119
some bad losers,
possibly even some tears.
65
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,159
Mmm. But all of that
will be coming from me.
66
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,359
LAUGHTER
67
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,159
Now, now, the pair of you.
68
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,719
Two newsreaders in a relationship.
Can we talk about that?
69
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,199
Be careful, Gerry!
70
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,959
Oh, I don't think you can lecture me
about good behaviour, Miss Norville.
71
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,199
LAUGHTER
72
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,999
Your voices are always
so... calm and polished.
73
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,839
What I want to know is what happens
when you have an argument.
74
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,719
CHUCKLES: Oh, well...
75
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,199
Well, we don't really have
any arguments, do we?
76
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,399
Well, I actually find it
quite useful.
77
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,199
"Crossing now to the kitchen,
78
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,799
"where Dale has forgotten
to take out the rubbish."
79
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,199
LAUGHTER
80
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,839
You spend your whole
working day together,
81
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,839
you read the news together,
you go home together.
82
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,239
That's right. Yeah.
83
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,519
Well, at what point do you
run out of things to say?
84
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,679
Well, the news never stops, Gerry.
85
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,359
One always has a lot to talk about,
especially in an election year.
86
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,839
This is... All right, Dale.
87
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,479
It's not election night yet.
At ease.
88
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,999
LAUGHTER
89
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,759
Now, in 1986, you delivered us all
a newsroom romance.

AUDIENCE TITTER
91
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,319
In 1987...
92
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,559
..can we... expect
a newsroom wedding?
93
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,119
AUDIENCE: Oooh!
Mmm.
94
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,199

to Dale Jennings."

00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,679
LAUGHTER
96
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,120
Well, thanks, Helen.
97
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,919
Look, we're just focusing
on this critical election
98
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,160
that we have ahead of us,
uh, this year.
99
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,000
It's also a...
It's a jolly fascinating...
100
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,839
Who says "jolly"? HELEN LAUGHS
101
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:37,359
Dale, I told you not to watch it.
102
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,879
Who am I, Santa Claus? I've never
used that adjective in my life!
103
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,439
My favourite was when you referred
to yourself as the royal one.
104
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,879
I did not do that!
105
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,919
Rewind. It's right there on the tape.
106
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,879
We sent specific questions
about the election!
107
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,240
Yeah, but I told you,
he never sticks to the script.
108
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,359
Hey, there's not a history
between you two, is there?
109
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,239
What, a history between...
With Gerry?!
110
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,119
Yeah.
No!
111
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,519
Are you sure?
Cos he was very flirtatious.
112
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:01,999
Oh, are you a bit jealous?
113
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,800
No. You sure?
114
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,439
Yeah, a little bit, but...
115
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,039
Correct!
116
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,240
SHE GIGGLES Don't be.
117
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,919
..on this critical election ahead.
118
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,639
And it's not only an Australian
election this year, it's also...
119
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,719
Newsreader Dale Jennings there,
avoiding my question.
120
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,000
LAUGHTER
121
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,240
ALARM BEEPS LOUDLY
122
00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:39,080
ALARM CONTINUES BEEPING
123
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,599
TV: The issue overshadowed
Mr Howard's campaign
124
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,359
in marginal Brisbane seats today.
125
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,079
He was quick to respond
and issued one of his strongest
126
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,279
campaign attacks yet
against the government.
127
00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:57,319
JOHN HOWARD: The creator
of the "banana republic"
128
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,439
is now campaigning like
a treasurer of a banana republic...
129
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,639
Howard called him
an "economic vandal"
130
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,679
and Keating fired back and said,
"If the Liberals win government,
131
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,519
"you'd need a pair of binoculars
to find the Australian dollar."
132

Seen what?
134
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,359
The promo for election night.
135
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,799
Do we want to?
136
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,879
Promos just delivered it.
They're very proud of it.
137
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,880
The new CEO dictated
the copy himself.

..with comic interludes
by Gerry Carroll...
146
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,119
No.
147
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,919
..and an Australian exclusive
with federal treasurer Paul Keating.
148
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,279
The biggest names.
The fastest results.
149
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:57,560
Only on the News At Six.
150
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:02,919
I mean, that can't... that can't
go on air.
151
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,440
It's on air. The print version
is a double-page spread.
152
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,039
Uh...
153
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,079
Did you sign off on that promo?
Good morning to you too, Helen.
154
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,079
A 7.45 guaranteed result?
And an Irish comedian?
155
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,719
Just so you know,
156
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,479
that's come directly from
little Charlie himself.
157
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,039
He doesn't know the first thing
about news.
158
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,359
He doesn't see the election
as a news event, Helen.
159
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,880
He sees it more as being a, um...
160
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,239
..a network branding event.
What?
161
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,000
And he has decided that
our network brand is, uh...
162
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:40,959
..backyard barbecue.
163
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,599
What does that mean?
Dennis?
164
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,399
He reckons that networks are like
different kinds of food.
165
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,999
Yeah? So, the ABC is like
a plate of vegetables.
166
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,879
But then you have
your roast chook, right?
167
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,839
Your Sunday lamb!
Mmm.
168
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,360
Back yard barbecue.
169
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,599
He just wants the tone to be relaxed
and irreverent, OK? That's it, so...
170
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,119
Are you even listening to yourself?
171
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,439
Um, I can check with the data
analyst, but it was my understanding
172
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,879
that 7.45 is more of a likelihood
than a guarantee.
173
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,999
OK, thanks, Noelene, but there's
nothing we can do about that.
174
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,919
Also, I don't think
Paul Keating's an exclusive.
175
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,559
I think he's appearing
on several networks.
176
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,519
OK, thanks again, Noelene!
Nothing we can do about that!
177
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,359
No other news director
would sign off on that.
178
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,759
That is not true, OK?
The ABC has comedians!
179
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,879
You know that guy that does
the impersonations?
180
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,119
Lindsay, shit, we've got to go.
181
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,959
Dale, now that she's had
her little showboat,
182
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,999
I don't want any more hissy fits
about this, because... little, uh...
183
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,279
..little Chuck has invested
a lot of money in News At Six
184
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,639
and, mate, he's not happy.
185
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,999
He always seems upbeat.
SCOFFS: Yeah, right. To your face.
186
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,319
Do you know what he called you two
the other night?
187
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,919
"The silver couple of news".
188
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,879
Sometimes you're
"the bronze couple of news",
189
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,759
and sometimes you're dangerously
close to "polished turd" territory.
190
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,999
But our ratings have been
consistent. Jesus, Dale!
191
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,759
The amount of money he has spent,
he doesn't want consistent,
192
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,960
especially on election night, and
especially given the competition!
193
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,439
MAN: Out of the ten previous
elections that you've hosted,
194
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,079
which ones in particular stand out?
195
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,559
Well, it's hard to go past '69.
Gorton versus Whitlam.
196
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:11,799
And you were the first
to call that one, correct?
197
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,119
Just after 8pm. Over an hour
before the competition.
198
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,479
Oh. HE CHUCKLES
199
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,359
Well, over the years, you, uh...
200
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,199
..you develop an understanding
of the key swing seats.
201
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,880
It paid off in '69, and I'm sure
it will tomorrow night.
202
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,639
What about you, Kay?
203
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,360
Any, uh, childhood memories
of watching Dad on election night?
204
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,599
Uh, I remember always loving it.
205
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,599
It's the one night Mum let me eat
sausages and chips for dinner.
206
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,559
Ah. LAUGHTER
207
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:45,119
And will it be sausages
this Saturday?
208
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,599
Oh, of course!
209
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,079
With Kay back from London,
I'll be doing all the favourites.
210
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,399
HE CHUCKLES
211
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,319
Geoff, Saturday's also
the first time
212
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,239
that you'll be in direct competition
with your former colleagues
213
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,079
at the News At Six.
214
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,159
You've had some strong words to say
about the News At Six in the past.
215
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,599
Well, I've said all
I intend to say, Keith.
216
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,759
Yeah, well, nothing to add
a year down the track?
217
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,039
We'd, of course, like to thank the
viewers
218
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,679
for all their cards and letters
219
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:16,239
and to assure them that Geoff is
absolutely thriving.
220
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,519
The new network is wonderful
221
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,639
and we're just loving
living a little closer to the city.
222
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,839
But can I just ask, have you had
any contact with Helen Norville...
223
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,640
Let's move on, Keith.
224
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,479
Yep. Uh...
225
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,400
KEITH CLEARS THROAT Well, uh...
226
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,399
Thank you very much. Um, we might
just get a family photo if we could.
227
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,839
Kay, would you mind just
squeezing up a little bit,
228
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,319
we'll get a family shot?
229
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,359
That'd be great. Thank you.
230
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,199
Big smiles. KEITH LAUGHS
231
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,479
Thank you.
232
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,999
We so appreciate it, Cheryl.
233
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,119
Um, are we still on for the 5th?
234
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,839
If that's all right?
235
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,359
I'd hate to get you into trouble
with the News At Six.
236
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,759
Oh, no, no. I just don't tell 'em.
SHE CHUCKLES
237
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,959
Oh, thank you.
238
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,879
Truly, no-one does it better.
239
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,799
Thank you. CLEARS THROAT
240
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,679
That went well.
241
00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:10,080
Mmm.
242
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,879
I do think it'd be worth doing
a little bit of afternoon radio.
243
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,679
Evvie...
Just a couple of interviews...
244
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:18,000
Enough!
245
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,759
Oh, take the dress.
I bought it for you.
246
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,079
I'm OK.
247
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,199
Oh, it looked really lovely, Kay.
Very feminine. Stylish.
248
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,359
Yes. It's the height of '87 style.
249
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,959
You know what they say
about sarcasm, darling.
250
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,440
"It's the lowest form of wit."
It's the lowest form of wit.
251
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,600
DOOR OPENS
252
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,919
DOOR OPENS Why isn't Mum going up?
253
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,279
Well, Canberra is a touch bleak
in the wintertime, so...
254
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,039
You want to escape her?
No, no, no.
255
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,279
I wouldn't blame you.
256
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,960
Sh. SHE GIGGLES
257
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,520
Wait.
258
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,680
Drive carefully.
259
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,240
SHE STARTS ENGINE
260
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,479
You've got a single.
261
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,599
Dale and Helen are in a full suite.
Mm-hm.
262
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,279
Per diems.
263
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,799
Um, sorry, if I order room service,
264
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,959
do I use the per diems
or do I charge the room?
265
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,919
Officially, the per diems.
266
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,320
Unofficially, most people charge
the room and pocket the cash.
267
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,679
They also tend to save the taxi
vouchers for personal use.
268
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:51,919
I'm sure Rob could tell you
all about it.
269
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,039
I don't know what
you're talking about there...
270
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,999
HE LAUGHS ..Jean.
271
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,959
Uh, Noels, just before you take off,
272
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,279
could I ask you to have a quick
squiz at that late update script?
273
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,079
Yes, of course.
All right?
274
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,000
Thanks, Jean.
Have a good time.
275
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,399
Just, the wording is... weird.
276
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,040
Yeah. I'll help you.
277
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,920
SHE GIGGLES Mmm...
278
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,719
Hey?
Mmm?
279
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,999
How many stars is the hotel?
Four.
280
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,920
Well, should I see
if I can get a flight up?
281
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,719
We don't have to tell your family.
282
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,239
Well, it's just that
Helen and Dale will be there.
283
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,319
Yeah. I thought you wanted to start
telling the office post-election?
284
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,400
Well, not the very next day.
285
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,199
Oh, OK. Mmm.
286
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,839
But... how about when I get back...
Mmm?
287
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,479
..I pick you up, and we use
all my taxi vouchers and per diems
288
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,399
and I take you to Sizzler?
289
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,880
Oh, yes! SHE GIGGLES
290
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:14,600
Mmm.
Mmm.
291
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,039
HE SIGHS OK.
292
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,959
Oh. Wait 30 seconds.
293
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,159
Last time, you came up two steps
behind me and it was really obvious.
294
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,520
Yeah, roger that.
295
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,639
Rob.
Oh, shit. Sorry.
296
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,239
You just told me that. Sorry.
Sh. Shush.
297
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,999
Shhh-ush.
298
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,160
OK. So, that's...

JET ENGINES ROAR

00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,400
G'day.
302
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,119
Hey, Noelene. How are you?
303
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,639
Hi, guys. How are you doing?
Nice to see you all.
304
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,919
The statistician is here.
No sign of Gerry yet.
305
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,479
What about Geoff? His network is
here. They're two booths over.
306
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,119
Well, we should go over
and say hello, you know?
307
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,079
Get it over and done with.
No, I'm not talking to him.
308
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,479
This is Trevor, data analyst.
Hello.
309
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,079
Helen. Lovely to meet you. Welcome.
Of course.
310
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,439
Nice to meet you, Trevor.
Thank you.
311
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:33,839
So, we're looking good for 7.45?
312
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,919
Well... just between us...
313
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,559
..I think it'll be more like 7.15.
314
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,319
7.15! Wow. Yeah.
315
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,359
I ran the results
for '77, '80 and '83,
316
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,639
and in each case, the system
would have the winner by 7.15.
317
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,399
So it'll be earlier? Great.
318
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,199
GERRY: I made the assumption
there'd be edible food here tonight.
319
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,279
I'm guessing that was foolish.
Hi.
320
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,119
Wow. You honestly expect the viewers
to focus on the politicians?
321
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,999
Welcome, Gerry.
How are you, Dale?
322
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,319
Uh, good. Um...
323
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,919
I might go to the...
324
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,839
Hey, Ray, can I grab
a glass of water?
325
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,639
Thank you.

Jesus!
329
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,159
Rob, you look like
a bloody Lowes catalogue.
330
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,279
DENNIS LAUGHS Well,
I got told it was casual.
331
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,319
Yes, mate. The rich pricks'
version of casual!
332
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,319
Very different.
Well, should I go and get changed?
333
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,079
It'd take me 25 minutes
to duck back, grab a jacket.
334
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,239
No, no, no, mate. Not enough time.
You've got to go as you are.
335
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,799
Don't want to blot the copybook.
I want an invite on that yacht.
336
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,719
What yacht?
He's got a $3 million yacht.
337
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:50,839
No. Yeah, he does.
338
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,039
Does he? He does, yeah.

Wow.

00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,999
Bigger than the bar at
Young & Jackson's, isn't it?
344
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,479
Here he is.
345
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,159
Gentlemen, how are we?
346
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,119
Good, thanks, Charlie. How are you?
Yeah, good, mate.
347
00:17:20,120 --> 00:17:22,639
What, you off to the races
after this? Sorry?
348
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,559
You look like one of the old man's
bookies there.
349
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,719
Oh, right. OK. Yeah.
350
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,399
Hey, so, I just saw an ad
for the competition.
351
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,639
Their big interview -
some senator I've never heard of.
352
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,439
We got the bloody treasurer!
353
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,039
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
354
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,519
That you, Dermot?
Dennis.
355
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,639
Dennis. Sorry, mate.
It was, uh, Noels.
356
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,199
Do I know Noel?
357
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,519
Yeah, Noelene. She's a producer.
Noelene. Producer, yes.
358
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,039
She's had about 800 calls
to Keating's office.
359
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,359
Wore him down. She's...
360
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:47,479
Yeah, she's...
I made a call too to Paul.
361
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,839
Yeah, people say I'm a bit like
Keating, actually, you know.
362
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,199
Not physically, of course.
363
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,959
Just a sort of a... certain gravitas
or something.
364
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,799
Their words, not...
I see it.
365
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,519
Yeah. ALL CHUCKLE
366
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,719
So... just us tonight, boys. Yeah.
Casual seafood buffet.
367
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,719
Grab yourselves a drink,
make yourselves at home, eh?
368
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:04,999
Beautiful. Yeah.
369
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,680
You, uh... you want to take care
of that, please, love? Beautiful.
370
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,120
Thank you.
371
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:16,920
GEOFF: Young Dale. HE CLEARS THROAT
372
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:19,839
Geoff! Good to see you.
373
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,639
DALE CLEARS THROAT Hello.
374
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,879
Hey, congratulations
on the new network.
375
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,759
My mother's terribly conflicted
on who to watch tonight.
376
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,600
Is Helen with you?
377
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,199
Yep.
378
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,120
I gather you'll be delivering
the result by 7.45 guaranteed.
379
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:39,359
Well... HE CHUCKLES
380
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:42,519
I don't fully understand the
computer technology myself, but...
381
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,279
Well, careful what you wish for.
382
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,480
Three hours is a very long time to
fill.
383
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,040
Come on, Paul. Yep.
384
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,959
I just saw Geoff. I don't care.
385
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,439
30 seconds!
386
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,719
Hey, Noelene, you got those teeth
pictures?
387
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,319
Teeth pictures? Yep.
388
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,999
Yep. All four. Mmm.
389
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,239
Yeah, I thought I could say
390
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,559
what's always stood out to me about
Australian elections is the teeth.
391
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,199
And then we'd super up pictures
392
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,839
of Howard, Hawke, Peacock
and Keating's teeth,
393
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,559
and I'd do a comedic
dental assessment of them.
394
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,319
RAY: Positions, please! GERRY LAUGHS
395
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,920
THEME MUSIC PLAYS I'm terrifying
you, aren't I?
396
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,079
No.
And here we go.
397
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,719
And in ten.
398
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,520
Nine. Eight. Seven. Six.
399
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,479
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
400
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,759
and welcome to the National Tally
Room for Election Night 1987.
401
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,199
I'm Helen Norville.
And I'm Dale Jennings.
402
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,639
It's a freezing night
here in our nation's capital,
403
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,239
and the tally room is filling up
with hundreds of journalists,
404
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,039
party members,
even some members of the public.
405
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,279
All of them are looking
to the boards behind us,
406
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,799
anxiously waiting
for those first crucial results
407
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,319
to start coming through.
408
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,999
Polling booths on the east coast
have already closed...
409
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,039
ROB: It's a nice set.
410
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,319
Very nice.
411
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,159
..first votes are counted,
our computer analyst...
412
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,399
Good design.
Yeah.
413
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,279
..Trevor Lehmann,
will be able to see them
414
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,359
on the News At Six
Datamax computer.
415
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:15,719
Welcome.
416
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,119
Uh, thank you, Helen.
417
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:19,759
So, what percentage of votes
need to be counted
418
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,719
before you can convincingly
call for a winner?
419
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,760
Actually, just 4% or 5%.
420
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,559
Remarkable, isn't it?
421
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,599
And we could reach that point
very early, so stay tuned.
422
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,079
No, we reach that point at 7.45.
423
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,959
Really got to hammer that, Lindsay.
7.45.
424
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,479
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've got a chyron
that's really gonna punch 7.45.
425
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,639
It is coming. It is coming. Mmm.
426
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,319
You mind if we have a quick flick?
427
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,999
Oh, not at all.
428
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,559
DALE: live on the desk...
429
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,759
MAN: It truly wouldn't be
an election night without him.
430
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,239
I'm so thrilled to welcome
a television icon -
431
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,319
Mr Geoff Walters.
432
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,039
Good evening to viewers
across this vast and great nation.
433
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,439
AS GEOFF: "And to you too."
434
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,559
It's an honour to be with you
on this most critical of nights.
435
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,079
They're letting him
write his own script!
436
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,280
Mate, this is gonna end in tears.
AS GEOFF: "In tears."
437
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,479
Well, Paddy, I'm happy to confirm
that from August onward,
438
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,679
I will be on screen
five nights a week
439
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,399
with a brand-new show,
The Walters Report.
440
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,639
A half-hour of hard-hitting
current affairs...
441
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,279
Awful name.
..probing analysis...
442
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,599
Terrible.
Oh, are they axing Quizmasters?
443
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,959
PADDY: very excited to have you
back on their screens.
444
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,759
But right now,
east coast polls have closed,
445
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,759
so let's cross to Bankstown,
where federal treasurer Paul Keating
446
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,479
is arriving to watch the results
in his home seat...
447
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:33,800
Wait, Bankstown?
448
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,080
Keating's confirmed for our desk,
isn't he?
449
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,879
Yes. Yes, he is.
450
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,359
Uh... So?
451
00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:44,759
Yeah. Hey, is this live?
This is live.
452
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,839
Uh... uh, look, Dennis, do you
want to... want to go call Noelene
453
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,199
just to, uh... to check on her?
454
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,879
Yep, great. Great idea.
SHOUTS: Marta!
455
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,440
Phone!
456
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,319
Thank you, Marta.
457
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,719
This guy.
Oh, great. Thank you.
458
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,480
You can use it anywhere.
OK. Thank you.
459
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,400
TELEPHONE RINGS HELEN: Thank you.
460
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:11,719
Tally room. Noelene speaking.
461
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,279
Yes! Hi. Yes, it's... it's Dennis.
462
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,279
So, we just flipped
to Geoff's coverage
463
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,439
and there is live footage
of Keating from Bankstown!
464
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,479
I don't think so. Bankstown! Sydney!
465
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,199
Five hours from you!
I know where it is.
466
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,039
He was always scheduled
to spend the day in Bankstown,
467
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,399
then head to Canberra
in the afternoon.
468
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,559
It can't have been live footage.
469
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,279
It was live footage, Noelene, OK?
Because it was dark there!
470
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,159
I, er, might call his media adviser.
471
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,839
Give me that thing here!
472
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,999
Listen, you! I've got some notes
for Helen and Dale.
473
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,479
You get a pen
and a shitload of paper!
474
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,720
LINDSAY RANTS INDISTINCTLY
475
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:41,840
Mm-hm.
476
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,920
LINDSAY HANGS UP
477
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,079
Sorry. Just a couple of notes
from Lindsay. What?
478
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,399
He doesn't want you to be so vague
about the time of the results.
479
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:54,919
Keep reiterating the 7.45 guarantee.
480
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,719
Yeah, but it could be earlier.
I'm just relaying.
481
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,239
Also, the CEO wants a big build-up.
482
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,599
"Get your dinners now. Top up your
drinks. The big moment's coming."
483
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:01,839
And we're back in 20.
484
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,599
I am not gonna be dictated to
by little Charlie,
485
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:04,639
especially not live on air.
486
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,399
We can definitely weave in
a little build-up.
487
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,559
No, I'm not gonna say,
"Come on, get your dinners, please."
488
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,239
It's not Romper Room. We don't have
to use those words necessarily.
489
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,759
Wrap it up. Ten seconds.
490
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,559
Charlie's rung my staff
with joke suggestions
491
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,719
before three of my shows -
they were all terrible.
492
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,159
Yeah, so you just
ignored them, right?
493
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,919
Oh, no, I said them.
But I've got no integrity.
494
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,320
You stick to your guns.
495
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,119
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
496
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:27,519
and welcome back
to Election Night '87.
497
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,039
Where the nation decides.
498
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,599
We have 21% of the vote counted
in the seat of Forde
499
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,839
and appear to be seeing
a swing to the opposition.
500
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,599
Is that right, Geoff? DOOR OPENS
501
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,239
KAY: Just me.
GEOFF: That's right, Paddy.
502
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,319
And Forde, as you know,
is in Queensland
503
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,919
and it is, of course, a swing seat.
504
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,400
How's he going?
505
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,359
EVELYN: Uh... it's still early.
506
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:50,719
I got the sausages.
507
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,039
I'm all right.
Oh, are you sure?
508
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,479
It's tradition.
509
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,280
Yeah, I'll just have a drink,
thanks.
510
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,480
Is Scott joining us?
511
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,559
What?
512
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:04,840
It's over with Scott.
513
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,880
When did that happen?
Last week.
514
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,879
Oh, darling.
515
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,119
Come on, Mum. Don't pretend like
you're not happy about it.
516
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:16,359
No, of course I'm not.
517
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:17,840
No, he was a very...
518
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:20,399
He was a pleasant man.
519
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,360
You hated him.
No!
520
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,959
No, I just wondered if he had
enough drive for you.
521
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,799
Well, he's pissed off
without paying the rent,
522
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,760
so I don't have that $200.
523
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,200
He's a prick.
524
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,119
Well, do you want your father
to call him about that?
525
00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:40,279
No, it's just... It's $200.
526
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,319
Well, technically, your father
is Scott's landlord...
527
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,559
Mum, I've just told you
I've broken up,
528
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,200
and you're chasing rent.
529
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:49,880
Sorry.
530
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,680
Sure you don't want the sausages?
531
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,479
Fine.
532
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,399
TV: The voting booths were open
at eight o'clock this morning,
533
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,719
and there was an early morning
surge to vote.
534
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,079
By lunchtime,
the crowds had thinned to...
535
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,479
Yes, I called his campaign office.
536
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,079
They directed me
to his electorate office.
537
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,359
RAY: Eight. Seven.
538
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:11,319
He's the treasurer of Australia.
Someone must know where he is.
539
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,680
Can you at least give me the name
of the venue in Bankstown?
540
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,999
Well, we are just a quarter of an
hour away from that crucial moment,
541
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,559
so, Australia, clear away the dinner
plates and top up those drinks,
542
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:27,319
because as per the News At Six 7.45
guarantee, the moment is imminent.
543
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:28,999
HELEN: So, Trevor, with 4% now
counted...
544
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,239
Yeah, that's better.
545
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,199
..is the Datamax system showing
any emerging trend?
546
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,679
Wouldn't say solid, though,
would you?
547
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,239
TREVOR: So far, I can confirm
that the vote is down for Labor,
548
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,079
but not necessarily down evenly.
549
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,159
So there is a negative swing
against the government?
550
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:46,239
In some places, yes. Definitely
New South Wales, but not in others.
551
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,839
In fact, their vote is up
in some surprising places.
552
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,440
So... yeah, i-it may or it may not
be a swing.
553
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,719
Well, Gerry Carroll thinks he's
identified
554
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,799
a surprising factor at play in the
1987 campaign.
555
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,399
Gerry, can you illuminate us?
556
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,119
Why, of course, Dale.
557
00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:05,359
Now, for me, this election has
all been about the dental work...
558
00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:06,999
Is there a problem?
What? No, no, no, no, no.
559
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,079
I'm just... I'm just, uh...
I'm just inputting.
560
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,439
You said 7.15.
It's just turned 7.30.
561
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,079
Yeah, well, the programme was built
to work off national swing, so...
562
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,879
Is 7.45 at risk, Trevor?
563
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,759
OK, the way it processes
is... is... is... is...
564
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,719
D-d-d-d... Look...
look, I could explain it to you,
565
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,839
or I could just keep inputting data
and actually get us there,
566
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,199
which is what I think you want.
567
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,559
..teeth take up most of his face.
568
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,319
With what little space that's left
being dedicated to his eyebrows,
569
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,799
it leaves you in a position of not
being sure what brush to reach for.
570
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,159
HE CLEARS THROAT: Uh...
571
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,079
Paul Keating, on the other hand,
rarely if ever reveals a tooth,
572
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,559
for obvious reasoning.
573
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,839
Paul, I'm narrowing my focus to
the eight seats I'm listing here.
574
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,399
Could I ask you to update me as soon
as any of these figures come in?
575
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:46,559
Yeah.
576
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,599
And also, let me know what happens
at 7.45 on News At Six.
577
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:50,959
OK.
578
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,599
800 calls you made - for what?!
579
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,359
His office said they tried to call.
580
00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:56,039
It was a last-minute change
just this afternoon.
581
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,879
The results were looking tight,
so Keating wanted
582
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,679
to stay in Bankstown
instead of come to Canberra.
583
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,759
SCREAMS: Fuck me sideways!
Just give me this.
584
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,279
Send the link truck to Bankstown
and do it as a live cross.
585
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,639
Well, I have sent a link truck,
but there's a technical issue here.
586
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,439
Our OB van isn't getting return
audio. They can't work out why.
587
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,159
But right now, Keating wouldn't be
able to hear us. We need a studio.
588
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,759
Give me that thing, will you?
589
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,559
Listen, Noelene,
I want you to tell me this.
590
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,079
I want to hear it from you,
591
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,159
that both our relentlessly
advertised features -
592
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,119
the 7.45 verdict
and Paul fucking Keating live -
593
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:25,599
has come a gutser!
594
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:26,879
Y-y... yeah, just...
595
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,479
There's a studio
in Parliament House.
596
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,719
They use it for live crosses
every now and then, OK?
597
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,399
You're gonna have to send
Dale or Helen there.
598
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,199
How far away is it?
I don't know! It's Canberra!
599
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:35,319
It's a glorified country town.
600
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,159
Look, I'm just gonna make
some phone calls, right? Just...
601
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,519
Is that off?! Have I turned it off?
Er...
602
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,359
BOB HAWKE: I think we'll win, but,
uh...
603
00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:46,599
..it's just silly
to jump in too quickly.
604
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,239
INTERVIEWER: Certainly, you wouldn't
be...
605
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,200
So, I hear you're a bit of
a sailing man, Charlie?
606
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:52,759
Not really.
607
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,799
..and John Mildren's got some
ground to make up. That's one...
608
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:56,999
You've got one minute, Trevor.
609
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,839
Sorry, I presently cannot
focus my left eye.
610
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,719
I think... I think...
I think that we just have to...
611
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,079
..we just have to say that the
guarantee's just not gonna happen.
612
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,279
No, we can't put it like that.
613
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,119
We have to say that
we're in uncharted territory,
614
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:08,599
that we're on a knife's edge.
615
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,639
But it might not actually be
a knife's edge.
616
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,639
OK, we're a ship tossed at sea.
RAY: And in ten!
617
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,959
That doesn't even make any sense.
Just take the CEO out of your head.
618
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,199
I'm not thinking of the CEO.
Jesus Christ!
619
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,919
"The result has defied the most
advanced computer technology,
620
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,680
"and all we can do is sit and wait."
OK.
621
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,919
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we
have hit that crucial time of 7.45
622
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,399
and we have found ourselves
in uncharted territory.
623
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,519
HELEN: They say that the news never
stops.
624
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,159
Dale, I think we can add to that.
625
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,479
The news can never truly
deliver a guarantee.
626
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:40,919
What, is that a sledge at the promo?
627
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,039
Ah... With 5% of the vote now
counted, the results have defied
628
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,559
our state-of-the-art
Datamax computer system.
629
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,079
So, ladies and gentlemen...
Jesus Christ!
630
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,959
..you're just gonna
have to keep watching,
631
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,479
cos it looks like we're in
for a roller-coaster of a night.
632
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,359
There are a million people
changing the channel right now.
633
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,999
I should... Should I go get Lindsay?
634
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,919
Who dropped the ball here, mate?
Was it Noelene?
635
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,199
Uh, no. Absolutely not. But sh...
I'll just see if I can find him.
636
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,959
Do that, get rid of the data bloke,
637
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,799
and tell Lindsay to get Keating
on that fuckin' desk.
638
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,399
All right.
639
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:11,839
QUIETLY: Hey.
640
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,279
The News At Six didn't call it.
641
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,359
They're still just reading
individual seat results.
642
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,839
LAUGHS: I would describe it as very
boring.
643
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,119
I need you to give me
one more update on Barton
644
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,079
and, uh... one more on Rankin.
HE CLEARS THROAT
645
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,999
Rankin and Barton. OK.
646
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,320
And, Paddy?
647
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,520
I'd say five minutes.
648
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,319
HE COUGHS Five. Four...
649
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,199
PADDY: Well, let's have a look
at some of the ALP seats
650
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:39,959
where the Liberal Party is leading.
651
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,999
First up, Chisholm -
Chisholm is in Victoria,
652
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,519
currently held by Helen Mayer
by a margin of 0.2%.
653
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,999
The Liberal Party candidate,
Dr Wooldridge,
654
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,839
has run a very
high-profile campaign.
655
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:58,079
Dr Wooldridge is sitting on
47.6% of the primary vote.
656
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,999
If that trajectory maintains,
657
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,079
Dr Wooldridge will probably be
the new member for Chisholm.
658
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,999
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
659
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,919
Mr Walters has been furiously
doing his sums, and...
660
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,519
..and, uh, it looks as though he
has something that he wants to say.
661
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:14,760
Geoff?
662
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,679
Yes, Paddy. Oh. Kay.
663
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,639
Now, thus far,
we've been focused on the...
664
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:21,839
Darling?
665
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,999
..percentage of the overall vote,
but in fact, the result...
666
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,279
Kay?
667
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,639
..is always going to be dictated
by the number of seats.
668
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,879
Is he calling it? I think so.
669
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,279
The Labor government came in tonight
with a 16-seat advantage.
670
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,239
Their overall vote is clearly down,
but, Paddy, as I see it,
671
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,879
for the Labor government
to lose tonight,
672
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,319
they would need to lose the five
following seats, and they are...
673
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,680
..Hinkler, Barton,
Rankin, Bendigo and...
674
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:48,960
..Hawker.
675
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:51,599
As it stands,
676
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:57,079
I believe Labor can be
very confident holding all five.
677
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,159
So, on the basis of that,
678
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,559
I am prepared to declare Labor,
the Hawke government...
679
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,119
APPLAUSE IN BACKGROUND .
.the winner tonight.
680
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,839
..is Peter Paroulakis...
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
681
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,359
..and the Labor...
682
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,559
LOUD CHEERING
683
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,880
Well, Dale, it sounds like some good
news has emerged from down there.
684
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,399
PADDY: You heard it here first.
Geoff Walters...
685
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,079
LINDSAY LAUGHS
686
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,599
..veteran of so many federal
elections, has declared that...
687
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,839
Ohh! Live telly, eh? It's like
juggling eggs on a roller-coaster!
688
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,159
But, mate, Charlie, I think we're
definitely well and truly on track.
689
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,639
..a convincing victory.
690
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,479
Walters just called it for Hawke.
691
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:35,759
..convincing, Paddy.
692
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,919
There's clearly a lot of
voter discontent out there,
693
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,519
frankly, both sides,
but ultimately, it was the...
694
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,119
Lindsay?
Mmm?
695
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,039
GEOFF CONTINUES Where is Paul Keating?
696
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,239
Do you think this loss will mark
the end of John Howard...
697
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,120
Dennis, where is Paul Keating?
698
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,119
APPLAUSE CONTINUES
699
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:57,839
We might...
700
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,999
We'll go to a break
and we'll be back with so much more,
701
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,520
including, hopefully, that result
in just a moment.
702
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,800
Geoff just called it for Labor.
703
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,599
What? What? No, hang on, hang on.
704
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:11,879
I-I don't know how you can say that
705
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,879
with so little of
the West Australian vote counted.
706
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,639
Trevor, I'm gonna have to ask you
to step off camera
707
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:16,999
for the rest of the telecast.
708
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,759
Come on, mate. 30 seconds!
709
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,839
I-I-I'm just... 10... 10 minutes.
That's all I need.
710
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,840
Dale and Helen will call
the result themselves.
711
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,280
Yep. OK. I'm really sorry.
712
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,559
Um...
713
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,879
I also have a Keating update.
Yeah?
714
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,799
I think we still have him,
but not on our desk.
715
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,119
OK. He didn't come to Canberra
this afternoon. I'm so sorry.
716
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,599
There's a link truck already
heading out to him in Bankstown...
717
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,119
OK, so then it's just a cross?
718
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,439
Yes, but unfortunately not with you.
719
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,319
Our OB van is having issues with
return audio. We need a studio.
720
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,359
And the closest studio is
out in Parliament House.
721
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,679
OK, well, that's... that's... that's
ten minutes. We can do that.
722
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,519
No. No. Hang on, hang on...
I can get us there in ten.
723
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,319
Including leaving here and
setting up is probably more like 20,
724
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,319
and Charlie's demanding
that he be interviewed right now.
725
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,119
You get me Charlie Tate
on the phone right now!
726
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,639
I don't have his number!
RAY: Here we go!
727
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,079
I don't care what he thinks.
Helen...
728
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,679
Tell Parliament we're using the
studio. We'll be there right now.
729
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,559
If we don't have a Keating
interview, then all we've got
730
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,439
is a failed guarantee and some
fucking jokes about Hawke's teeth!
731
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,440
Go, go! As fast as you possibly can!
732
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,399
Welcome back to the national
tally room in Canberra,
733
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,199
where a sense of jubilation
has taken root
734
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,039
amongst the Labor supporters
735
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,399
with the breaking news
736
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,279
that Bob Hawke will be re-elected
Prime Minister of Australia
737
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,519
for a historic third term.
738
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:29,799
ENGINE STARTS
739
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,680
NOELENE: Um, head out and turn left.
740
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,159
REPORTER: What are
your celebration plans now?
741
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:37,399
Oh, uh, several cups of tea.
742
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,600
LAUGHTER
743
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,599
This is gonna be the highlight
of the telecast, trust me.
RAY: 30 seconds!
744
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,999
So, um, are you just imagining
more comedic observations or...
745
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,719
Just ask me the same questions
you'd ask a political analyst
746
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,240
and let me answer.
747
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:54,799
Don't worry about being funny.
748
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,159
Thanks.
749
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,920
Hey. And here we go.
750
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,159
What's that? It's straight vodka.
751
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,959
I haven't had a sip of water
all night.
752
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,639
Seven! Six!
753
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,839
Uh, my face goes red with spirits.
754
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,519
You're wearing make-up.
755
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,719
A victorious Bob Hawke there
in Melbourne
756
00:34:11,720 --> 00:34:13,639
after a third election victory,
757
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,959
and with me now is noted political
analyst Mr Gerry Carroll.
758
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,159
So, Gerry...
Mmm?
759
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,559
You told me that
Keating was on his way.
760
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,959
Er, Charlie... it'll be on in a
second.
761
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,439
It'll be well worth the wait.
Keating will put on a good show.
762
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:28,999
You just sit tight.
763
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,799
GERRY: Uh, well, Dale,
764
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,199
I think Johnny will probably move
towards his natural calling in life,
765
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,359
which has always been
suburban solicitor...
766
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,079
Right... and I think we should
be happy for him.
767
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,879
NOELENE: No, no, no, no, no. Sorry,
I meant the next one. The next one.
768
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,400
Sorry!
769
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,159
So, ultimately, this result comes
as no surprise to you?
770
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,439
Oh, no.
771
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,079
Look, Dale, I have
my very own election barometer,
772
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,399
and it works every time.
773
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,639
What you do is you look at the
number one sportsman in that country
774
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,879
and you ask yourself,
who would they vote for?
775
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,719
Here in 1987, it's clearly
Wimbledon champ Pat Cash,
776
00:35:07,720 --> 00:35:10,159
And if you imagine
Mr Cash sitting there
777
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,480
weighing up Hawke versus Howard...
778
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,199
Well, there's really no question.
779
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,159
I like this. This is a better tone.
780
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,519
Yeah, it's not bad, is it?
Yeah. Yeah.
781
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,719
Absolutely.
Absolutely agree.
782
00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:24,640
In 1954, he skols
two and a half pints of beer...
783
00:35:36,240 --> 00:35:38,479
OK. Put that on that shit
background.
784
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,199
Beg your pardon?
Can you help me?
785
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,680
What? Oh. Yes.
Go on the other side.
786
00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:48,119
Um... Keating's eyeline is to
the screen, not to the camera, so...
787
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,239
Just match that?
Uh-huh.
788
00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:51,720
MAN: Trig, could you get
in Keating's position, please?
789
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,119
What time is it now?
Uh, 20 .13.
790
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,599
20.13. OK.
It's still good. It's still good.
791
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:58,839
OK.
792
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,919
Now, did you say he lost votes
in his own electorate?
793
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,439
Uh, yes. 5%.
794
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,439
5%. OK, great. Um, good.
795
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:05,799
SHE CLEARS THROAT
796
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,719
And, Gerry, if you had to name
one highlight from tonight?
797
00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:11,639
Well, apart from the biscuits, Dale,
798
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,679
I think my highlight was learning
a few brand-new words.
799
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,279
My favourite being "scrutineer".
800
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,359
Well, a potential new career
for you, Gerry?
801
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,919
Well, look, all I know about it,
Dale, is that they scrute,
802
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,879
and God knows... I've always been
partial to a quick scrute.
803
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,679
Well, famously so.
804
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,439
Right now, ladies and gentlemen,
we have a News At Six exclusive.
805
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,599
We are going to cross
to Helen Norville,
806
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,919
who will be speaking
to our re-elected treasurer...
807
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,519
You all right?
Yeah, I'm standing by.
808
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,159
OK. You're on in five.
809
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:39,719
Four.
810
00:36:39,720 --> 00:36:41,080
Three.
811
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:44,800
SHE CLEARS THROAT
812
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,239
He's one of the most bold
and influential men in the country
813
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:53,839
and, at 43, many predict
our next Prime Minister.
814
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,119
Joining me from Bankstown in Sydney,
815
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,440
please welcome Treasurer Paul
Keating.
816
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,399
Yeah! Yes! ALL CHEER
817
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:02,959
Yes! You beauty.
818
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,719
Bob Hawke thinks that he'll be here
for the next three years at least.
819
00:37:05,720 --> 00:37:07,239
Are you happy to wait?
820
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:10,879
Oh, yes, I... When... when Bob
is good and ready to go...
821
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,359
All those phone calls.
Yeah.
822
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:13,719
They paid off, mate.
Yeah.
823
00:37:13,720 --> 00:37:15,559
..those who fancy ourselves
as his successor
824
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,439
then get an opportunity
to propose ourselves
825
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,279
to the government, to the caucus.
826
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,079
But that's a matter for our party
and, uh,
827
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,919
it'll all occur in its time.
828
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,519
Opposition Leader John Howard had to
contend with a lot of disunity.
829
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:32,479
You enjoy total party unity,
but your personal vote was down 5%.
830
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:33,759
She is grilling him.
831
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,519
Do you feel that you won tonight
by default?
832
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,759
I think there's a lot of
rewriting history going on today.
833
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,919
She looks great.
The government won this election.
834
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,919
I think Mr Howard debased
the political currency.
835
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,199
I mean, I think he ran
836
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,199
on the most disreputable
and irresponsible financial policy
837
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,639
of any leader in this country
in the last 20 years
838
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,039
and he deserved the loss
that he's taken.
839
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,079
And so I'd guess that
you would prefer John Howard
840
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,519
to stay on as Opposition Leader
841
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,999
as opposed to returning
the leadership to Andrew Peacock?
842
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,039
Oh, she's going for it.
She's going for it. Good girl.
843
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,159
But as far as Peacock's concerned,
844
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,679
I mean, let me put
the rhetorical question,
845
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,599
can a souffle rise twice?
846
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,639
HE LAUGHS
847
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,399
That's the quote! That's our quote!
848
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,359
Yeah, I don't know, boys,
is it just me
849
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,799
or is... she just a hair too...
uh... aggressive?
850
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,519
Yeah. Just a hair.
851
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:22,840
Maybe.
852
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,999
We're gonna see inflation
continuing to abate.
853
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,279
All right.
854
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,759
TV: A disappointed but stoic
John Howard conceded that his...
855
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,319
I'll see you soon?
856
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:33,479
Yes.
Mwah.
857
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,080
Drive safely. Yep. Always do.
858
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,159
Bye. Bye.
859
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,799
HOWARD: And whatever differences
that divide us politically,
860
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,519
and they are important differences
861
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,399
and they will remain
important differences,
862
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,959
those things that unite us
as Australians
863
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,679
are much greater and more enduring
than those things that divide us.
864
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,200
Mr Howard congratulated Mr Hawke...

GERRY: Can I let you in on something?
DALE: Yeah.
867
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,599
I'm not registered to vote
in this country.
868
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,159
DALE LAUGHS Really?
869
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,199
No... No, no, seriously.
870
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,879
I've just hosted
your national election
871
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,519
and I can't even vote.
872
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,320
I don't know whether I
should be ashamed or proud of that.
873
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:57,839
You did, obviously.
874
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,159
Yeah.
Mmm.
875
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:00,840
Yeah.
876
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,559
You and Helen are living together.
Yeah.
877
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,360
Yeah, living in sin, as my mother
likes to point out.
878
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,560
Are you thinking of changing that?
879
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,759
Um... we haven't really discussed it
yet.
880
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,280
You've been together a while.
Yeah. A year.
881
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:23,840
Maybe you're not the marrying type.
882
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:26,799
Well...
883
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,680
Wait, what does that mean?
884
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,040
I don't know,
you strike me as a bit...
885
00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:35,040
..open to possibilities.
886
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,240
No, it's a compliment.
887
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,440
The best people are.
888
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,240
I am.
889
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,000
Mmm.
890
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,920
THEY CHUCKLE
891
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,039
Sorry, maybe I am...
All right.
892
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,320
I am a pretty boring person.
893
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:13,520
I don't think so.
894
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:15,999

895
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,999
Ah. Here she is!
Hello, hello!
896
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,319
Oh! Oh!
897
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,159
God, I'm glad that's over.
Hey. You were brilliant.
898
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:23,639
Thank you. Brilliant.
899
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,559
He talked so much that I only got
through a third of my questions.
900
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,599
Was it OK really?
You were great. Yeah.
901
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,279
Mwah. Drink?
902
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:31,719
Um... You must be tired.
903
00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:33,199
Uh, no, I'll take a double.
Yeah?
904
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,239
Yeah. Uh, vodka soda, please.
905
00:41:35,240 --> 00:41:37,200
Sure. Hoo!
906
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,799
Oh, my God!
907
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,639
What time is, um... is checkout?
908
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,440
Uh... 10, I think.
909
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,040
Hey, I think Gerry just tried
to proposition me.
910
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,199
HE CHUCKLES What?
911
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:10,320
Well, I could be wrong,
but it definitely... seemed like it.
912
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:13,800
HE CHUCKLES
913
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,320
What... what, um... what happened?
914
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:21,720
Nothing.
915
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:36,880
Were you interested?
916
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:40,920
No.
917
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:43,920
Are you sure?
918
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:46,880
Yes.
919
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,000
Cos he would make sense.
920
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,000
I mean, he... He'd be, um...
921
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,840
..he'd be discreet and...
922
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:08,959
..and private, and...
923
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,640
..his wife's a very
powerful woman, so...
924
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,120
..he... he would be...
925
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,400
..a logical option.
926
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,560
I don't want that option.
927
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,240

I want...
931
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,039
I want just us. I want just...
932
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:41,680
..just you and me.
933
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:45,600
So do I.
934
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,320
But I want you to keep talking to me
about it.
935
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,759
I don't need to.
But if anything changes...
936
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,400
It's not gonna change.
But if it... if it does...
937
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:02,960
It won't.

That stupid bloody
News At Six guarantee.
985
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,279
A cheap trick.
986
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,360
Maybe that's what people want
these days.
987
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:35,959
Cheap tricks.
988
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,479
Clowns.
989
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,999
And that network has spent
an absolute fortune
990
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,839
on utterly false advertising.
991
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:48,159
Helen's being promoted as
this... woman of gravitas.
992
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,919
She's far from that.
Think what we know about her.
993
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:52,079
Huh!
994
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,240
And from what I hear,
that's the tip of the iceberg.
995
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:01,279
You've maintained a dignified
silence.
996
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,440
It's time the truth about her
emerged.
997
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,879
You know... you know... you know...
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie.
998
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,519
Wh-what it was
was it was the guarantee.
999
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,439
Mate, we didn't
even have to deliver!
1000
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:18,799
It was just the promise of it.
1001
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,799
It was a stroke of genius, mate.
Well done, you.
1002
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,839
Yeah, I actually think
Gerry was the main drawcard.
1003
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:26,319
He was good. He was good, wasn't he?
Surprisingly to some people.
1004
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,960
But, you know, I like to think
the, um... the whole team...
1005
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,599
You were right about Dale.
He's getting there.
1006
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,400
It's just, uh...
1007
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,559
..Helen.
1008
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:38,919
Yes?
1009
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,439
Mate, she was great under Geoff.
It's just, as a headliner...
1010
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,599
I don't know what it is.
I think she's just sort of...
1011
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:49,199
..too dominant over Dale
and she's really aggressive and...
1012
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,199
I reckon we give her
a couple of months to pull it in.
1013
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,119
If she can't...
1014
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,399
..we talk replacements.
1015
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:56,839
Sure.
1016
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,599
Sure. No complaints this end
on that.
1017
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,279
But, you know, it could be
a little bit tricky.
1018
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,039
They, uh...
1019
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:03,359
..they are a couple.
1020
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,999
Yeah, it's not my problem.
1021
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,439
No. Of course it's not. It's theirs.
1022
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,639
