All language subtitles for Seven Little Australian Episode 7 (1973 Australian Kids Series)

John's suspicions had been justified.

Judy was discovered.

I had feared the discovery would be painful, but not so overwhelmingly devastating.

Poor little soul.

When I saw that pale, drawn little face as John carried her up from the boat house, I

knew Judy was desperately ill.

It seemed an eternity until the doctor arrived, waiting for his verdict was almost beyond

bearing.

That hurts less.

I understood you to say that you had this condition for some time.

Well, two weeks.

I was not well.

Good God, man, just by looking at you, you should be able to tell.

A hell of a nut run away from school.

We didn't know until today.

Be that as it may, our primary concern now is Helen's health.

Quite, quite.

I'll come straight to the point.

The girl has a high fever.

One lung is badly inflamed.

There may be pneumonia.

I'd like another opinion, a specialist.

Whatever you think is necessary.

Doctor, how bad is it?

The girl is very seriously ill, Mrs. Rokot.

There could be complications.

She has youth on her side, but she'll need constant care and attention.

Does that mean hospital?

No, please.

We'll look after her.

We'll see.

Do you need complete rest for some weeks?

Complete rest?

That's the key.

No excitement, no family dramas.

I trust that you'll both keep your eyes open and see to it.

Just see the way he wrote for the doctor.

Father certainly a good writer.

He took two gates.

Poor Judy.

She won't die, was she?

Is there no end to your deceitful ways?

Well...

and you, sir.

Is this the example you set your brothers and sisters?

How is she, Father?

Helen is seriously ill.

No doubt largely because of your misplaced loyalty.

I'm sorry, but you'll be alright.

I trust so.

Why?

Why didn't one of you tell me she was ill?

Why?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I'm waiting.

We frightened of you.

Henceforth all of you will see to it that there is complete quietness in this house until Helen is well again.

Is that understood?

If I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

I'm out.

Oh, there's a bill.

There's bills.

Bills.

Oh.

Tell me a stepmother there's one for her.

From up country looks like.

Has Dr. Gorna still gone yet?

Too busy eating my scones, but he doesn't take them off his bills.

Doctors, I've had enough of them running my house these past weeks.

Have one better for Gorna.

Now the important thing of course is to build a child up.

Plenty of fresh air and good food.

I'd take it better for fields.

There will be no lasting effect.

Well, far be it for me ever to disagree with a specialist.

But in cases like this, one has to be careful.

There could be complicated.

I've known young Judy ever since she was a child.

I never had a very strong chest, you know.

A ton of spirit, but underneath a bit of the old weaknesses still there.

Then there could be further trouble?

The mischief under her lungs was serious.

Consumption?

A possibility.

You remember that her mother...

Yes, there is that history to consider.

I won't say that Judy will ultimately die of consumption,

but she's such a wild, unquiet subject.

With a perfect fever for living, it's quite unknown to slower natures.

Take good care of a wall carton she'll make a fine woman someday.

Ah. A grand woman.

My advice is to send her off somewhere for a few weeks,

away from river mist and damp.

Send her away?

Preferably somewhere north and dry.

Then I'll run wild and go brown the sunshine.

That's what she needs now.

Well, I've had a whole platoon of Digby Smiths waiting for me with influenza.

You should be thankful you've only served my dear.

I'm all for populating the country, but...

Twelve.

Agoniston, I'm most grateful for your attention these last weeks.

Nonsense.

In your hands now, my dear fellow, just keep an eye on her

and then send her away.

Certainly. Certainly she shall go at once.

I'll call on a couple of days.

Thank you, Doctor.

Is Mrs. Gormiston well?

Oh, Roo-bojism, you know.

It's always trouble to this time of year.

Looks like more bad weather coming.

Get young Judy away, that's all.

Yes, of course. Goodbye, Doctor.

Goodbye.

What's the verdict?

No, good.

They all say we must send her away.

Send her away? They're mad.

Don't they know how all this started?

He's gone? Yes.

Hurry up, you'll move.

You're too good for me.

Did the doctor say I could go out?

Not in this weather.

Well, when's the funeral?

Not for years and years.

You're cured.

Now you simply have to eat as much as Banti,

and according to the doctor, you're to be allowed to run wild.

Sounds exciting, doesn't it?

Where?

Pray of what?

Shall I be running wild?

Not at Miss Burtons.

Not at Miss Burtons.

Ever again.

Then it was worth it.

Judy, it's all these weeks and weeks.

Really, I wouldn't mind dying if I thought he'd send me back.

Or anywhere.

Anywhere?

Anywhere away from here?

Not even somewhere.

For a holiday.

Not even anywhere by myself.

Is not going to.

Esther, he's not down.

Your father will only do what he thinks best.

He is.

He is.

Little, please, you don't jump to conclusions.

Promise me, Esther.

Promise you won't let him send me away again.

Promise.

Oh, don't be so dramatic, you silly.

There's no need to worry about anything.

You ought to be spoiled and fed and petted.

Esther is any way to get out of here.

You ought to be spoiled and fed and petted.

Esther, is anything going to happen?

What matters, Julie is that Judy gets completely well.

Now, please.

You know Dr. Gormiston said you're not to fuss.

Please, all of you.

I'm sorry, my dear.

If she used to go at all, she must go on her own.

John, you know what it did last time separating her from the family?

Damn it, what else can I do?

We can barely manage to send her as it is.

Lord knows what the Doctors builds, the Chemists builds, and all the rest of it.

She'll be fortunate if we can send her any farther north than Newcastle in any case.

You know I wrote to my parents about it. Yes, yes.

I received a letter today.

Oh?

Mother wants me to go up to Yara Happany for a few weeks and take the general with me.

I see.

I've been home for nearly four years and they've never seen the general.

Of course you have every right to go.

They want me to bring the others too.

The others? All of them?

Yes, all of them.

The climate would be perfect, warm and dry and there'd be space and freedom.

John, don't you see? This could be the solution.

I see that it will simply be shifting my responsibilities onto your father.

It would be cold blooded imposition.

Oh, but they'd love to meet the children.

My dear Esther, do you think that I would consider saddling a busy man like your father with a tribe of unruly, irresponsible...

No, they're not. And I'm sure they'd behave. There'd be no trouble at all.

Please, dear. Can't you bend that silly stiff pride? Just a little. Please let us go.

Listen, we did it for a fortnight. Why can't we do it again?

What? Hide me away.

Judy, no.

Only until he agrees not to send me away.

They're caveways to play enough, the end of the garlic.

Give it up, Fizz. It can't be done again.

All right, then. I'll just run away, that's all. I'll run away and I won't care.

Children.

Judy, you should be in bed.

Esther, you're crying.

Not really.

You let him win. You let him, Judy. Your father loves you dearly.

Why does he want to send me away? Why?

Helen, why are you not in bed? And the little ones, Meg.

I'm sorry, father.

Let me go. What does Jane do? Let go.

All right, baby.

The doctor left strict instructions. Ben, every night before eight.

John.

Well, perhaps it is as well. You're all still other.

Your stepmother and I have been talking. I have come to a decision.

As you may know, Helen, the doctors are all of the opinion that although they pronounce you cured,

you should not spend the rest of the winter by the river. So, I have decided...

Father, I won't be sent away again. I won't. I won't be alone. You don't know what it's like.

Then let me hasten to inform you, my dear child, that I soon shall.

The only person to be sentenced to the obvious horrors of loneliness is me.

Father, what do you mean?

Your stepmother's parents have been kind enough to invite the whole family to spend the winter on their sheep property.

Up a jar of happiness. All of us.

Except me, of course.

Wow, wow, wow! Me too, me too.

All of you, every single one of you and your husband says you may.

Darling father.

Absolutely ripping. Dear wickens, dear mother.

Consequently, as there appears to be, so I am told, no earthly reason to refuse this over-generous offer,

except my own comfort.

I shall write this evening and...

You go right here, you can't...

I'm not going to...

I'm not going to...

Oh, you're writing all day in.

I'm not going to...

I'm not going to...

Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me.

It's coming.

Oh, he's right.

Oh, this is gonna be great for the wickens.

Father.

Father.

I...

Thank you.

Thank you very, very much.

Not at all.

You must also thank the hassles for being able to provide something I could not.

Now, I suggest you stop exciting yourselves and go to bed.

You will not be leaving for a week.

No.

I...

Good night, Father.

Good night, my dear girl.

Hi.

My friend or...

You Davided.

NO.

No.

Your girlfriend is close to the house.

little boy, come out and visit me.

You do know now it's hard to work because you don't see it.

No other person can talk.

It's OK for you to not know what I said in the book.

I'm going to go.

Come back here!

Will you all stay together, honey?

Children, stay together, baby!

Baby, come back with me, please.

Don't you dare get the plea.

I'll get you a seat.

Come back.

Yes.

Yes, sir?

I'd like some, uh, reading material, my girl.

Oh, come on!

Go on, right, go ahead.

Be careful now, baby.

Come on, baby.

You can't get it in the water bottle.

You can't get it in the water bottle.

You've got a lot of my man, honey, I'm...

There you are.

No, I can't make you alone.

I can't.

Come, my dear.

My respects to your parents.

For some reading matter.

How could I be so selfish, Johnna?

Compounded woman, get aboard.

Goodbye, father.

Goodbye, children.

Be sure to do as your toad.

Oh, no.

Behave yourself and get well.

Goodbye.

Oh!

Hello, Cora.

Avocado is

Isla, is the station home stayed like a motor bridge?

I doubt it. No mode. No water at all except a billabong.

Will that do? What is a motor bridge?

What a bunch of new chums I'll have in my hands.

I don't suppose any of you have ever really been into the country before?

We have two. We're not as poor. We went into Katumba. Honest?

You don't remember that stupid. I don't too. Anyway, you were three.

Are they bush rangers? Oh, I hope not. I don't think they're any left.

Sounds a bit tame to me. Oh, wait until you see it. It's like nothing else in the world.

Great flocks of birds of all colors of the rainbow.

The sky so wide and blue it hurts your eyes. And sunsets of gold and the dawns of silver.

And the stars at night making your fields if you are far out there in space yourself within the reach of heaven.

Oh, that's beautiful. It sounds quite enchanted, like fairyland.

I suppose it is enchanted in a way. Oh, we'll have such fun. Poor father?

He always seems to miss out on all the fun, doesn't he?

Good heavens, old God, you still here?

I'm finishing some work, sir.

Just a mower of the mess or the light. Get the family off simply.

Yes, look, sir.

Well, I think they're hally home for now. Come and join us in the mess.

Thank you, sir, but I will finish these requisitions and then I think catch the next fairy.

If you know my miseins, they will cut. You're a dashed unusual girl, you know?

Indeed, sir.

Well, any other chap get all those young imps of his hands out the misses. Kick up his heels.

Chuck his hat over the windmill, huh? Remember, Endeiradum couldn't wait for them, emsides, to go to the hills.

I will admit, sir, to some slight feeling of relief, however.

Look, you have a mind of peace of advice. Good efficiency, chap, like you should have your majority.

Now you've got the chance to know the chaps. Come to the mess, have some drinks.

I attend, sir, on every formal occasion. Not what I meant.

Dash it, old man. Loosen up. Let the men see you human.

I was not aware, sir. They considered me otherwise.

If you will forgive me, sir, the last fairy leaves in 35 minutes.

Very well. Very well. Don't miss it. Thank you, sir. Good night.

Good night.

You all right, Judeu?

Cold.

We're going over the mountains.

Is it much, father?

We won't reach Yara happening siding until about dawn. Try to get some sleep, honey.

So should you.

I'm too excited. Full of memories.

Then let me take the general for a while.

Oh, no. He's comfortable.

It's only four years since I was out here, and it seems like a century.

Here I am returning. Mother of Seven.

Esther? Why did you marry father?

What do you think to ask?

Well, you were young and beautiful and on everything.

And he had all of us for one thing, and... and he's old.

Oh, Meg, truly, sometimes I feel he's much younger than I am.

When we first met, I thought he was so mature and safe and dependable.

Everything one is supposed to look for in a husband.

Of all... That's what I thought.

My aunt was determined to marry us off, and I was determined she wouldn't.

Then I somehow started thinking he was rather gallant and brave.

I suppose it was because of his uniform.

No.

It was because he was trying to bring all of you up by himself,

when he could have sent you away to schools or homes or relations.

And because I realized he must love you more than his own comfort and advancement and wealth.

Because he is a gentleman.

I suppose he is.

And before I knew it, I was loving him.

I was so proud of him.

I was so proud of him.

I was so proud of him.

I was so proud of him.

I was so proud of him.

I was so proud of him.

I was so proud of him.

I was so proud of him.

I was so proud of him.

I was so proud of him.

I was so proud of him.

I was so proud of him.

I was so proud of him.

I was so proud of him.

I was so proud of him.

I was so proud of him.

I was so proud of him.

I was so proud of him.

je ne resonance.

Kirbe Nibbets.

It's like us!

I don't know.

I'm out of my job.

Oh, no!

Please!

So I'm ready!

The whole house was going to be masterful,

so I began singing isolation.

The boy Jenny is going on a staying place gather

to stand bed down on this porch.

Some guy.

I am three started.

Wind, water, water.

Um, a armies oritarian.

You're right.

Come on, Pete.

You both need to shut up, baby.

You took the ride.

You just got the matches.

Oh, come on.

What's the betting ladies and gentlemen? No, Kerasene?

I don't like this, Dad.

This.

Oh, thank you.

I don't like this, Dad.

This.

Oh, thank you.

Where are they?

They probably bogged at the crossing or something.

They'll be here.

If we've landed at the right place.

Of course we have. Don't be silly, Judy.

But what if I did forget about us?

And it started to rain again.

And it just kept raining and raining and raining.

And now I knew we were here.

Shut up, Bunty, and don't be a ghost.

Like the Bible!

We're all drowned and broke up like that dead cat we saw in the river!

Stop him! Stop him!

I'm going to biff you.

Leave me alone!

Just be quiet.

You're a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

Please, have a good night.

Be quiet!

I'm not going to let you go.

Listen.

What's that?

Oh, wait!

Princess McGill.

Oh, Dad!

I caught you, Miss Lillian!

I caught you!

Arthur and I ploughing through flights, getting bogged in creeks, almost getting over.

Oh, Miss Eve McGill. Welcome home!
