(Jet engine rumbling)
- Oh no.
I'm here, love.
I haven't gone anywhere.
(Engine screaming)
(Glass jingling)
Just rest yourself, love.
It'll be gone in a minute.
Hang on a minute.
- Harry!
(Engine rumbling)
- Shut up!
(Engine screaming)
(Gentle piano music)
There, that's better, Greta love.
Can you hear the music?
(Gentle piano music)
(Jet engine screaming)
(Faint speaking)
What?
I can't hear you.
(Faint speaking)
(Engine rumbling)
(Sobbing)
No!
You can't leave me!
Oh, you can't leave me.

- Hey!
- Chris!
- Guess what today is?
- You got me.
What? - It's our anniversary.
- Is it?
Oh, yeah, so it is.
- happy anniversary.
- What?
- What's so funny?
- Well, we're not together,
so it seems like a silly thing to say.
- But why?
I thought I thought we could
go out to dinner or something.
- You wanna celebrate it?
- Well, yeah.
It's a big day.
- Chris, it was once a big day.
- Well, couldn't we
still go out to dinner?
- I'm kinda busy.
- Well, that's all right.
I can pick the kids up from sport
or whatever they're doing.
- No, it's not the kids.
I've got a date.
- On our anniversary?
- Yeah.
Look, I'm running late.
I'll see you later, okay?
(Door closing)
- All I'm asking is for a night off.
How often do I do that?
- Scotty, I'm sick of this.
The schedule's set.
You're on tonight.
That's it. - No, come on.
You're always taking jimbo's side.
I never did...
- No, that's it, that's it!
I'm not talking about this anymore.
Did Ronnie leave the service history
for Charlie tango here for me?
- Not that I know of.
- Ah!
- When was he supposed
to do that? - Two days ago.
What's the matter
with the guy? - Chris!
Ah, man!
I don't believe it!
- What?
- Will you look at this?
- Oh, a friend of yours
is getting married.
- Yeah, I didn't even know
she was serious about the guy.
- Well, what's the problem?
Is he an old boyfriend of yours?
- As if!
No, she's not just getting married.
She's going to live in Paris with him.
- Oh, some women have all
the luck, don't they?
- Yeah, they do.
Not me.
- Jimbo!
I was looking for you.
- Yeah?
- I think you might want some
company on this trip, mate.
- Huh?
But why? - Well, it's a long flight.
You might want someone to talk to.
- Ronnie!
That service history you promised me
two days ago, I need it now!
Come on, where is it?
Stop mucking around!
- Will you kindly shut up?
I'm not listening to you
if you're gonna keep talking like that.
- Roley!
- What's all the screaming?
You used to be a polite bloke.
- What are you doing here?
- I'm trying to do some work
on a Piper chieftain, but some idiot
keeps screaming at me.
- This is so great!
How long have we got you for?
- Two weeks.
Ronnie's a crook, apparently.
I got the call this morning.
The stress is getting to
you, too by the sound of it.
- Oh, it's just one of those days.
- How's Robbie and the kids?
- Ah, they're good.
Real good.
It's our anniversary today.
- What do you mean?
I thought you got separated.
- Not you, too.
- You don't have anniversaries
when you separate, do you?
- Why not?
- It's stupid.
They don't mean anything
anymore, do they?
(Dramatic music)
(Tires squealing)
(Engine rumbling)
(Dramatic music)
- Tower, this is tango whiskey Sierra.
There's a tanker on
the crossing runway.
- [Man] Tango whiskey Sierra,
thank you for your notification.
The vehicle is not authorized.
We'll send out security.
(Dramatic music)
(Engine rumbling)
(Dramatic music)
(Engine rumbling)
(Dramatic music)
- He's heading straight for
the boeing on runway 1-6.
I think they're gonna collide!
(Dramatic music)
- Hey!
Get out!
What are you doing?
- What the hell do you
think you're doing?
- Don't come near me!
(Dramatic music)
- Hey, just calm down.
You don't wanna do this.
- How the hell do you
know what I want to do?
(Dramatic music)
- This is extremely dangerous.
You could hurt a lot of people.
- They all deserve it!
(Engine screaming)
- Look.
This isn't the answer to anything.
(Sirens wailing)
(Sobbing)
(Sirens wailing) (Dramatic music)
- Departures, this is
echo whiskey Victor
turning left on 0-9-0,
passing on through 500, flying to 800.
- [Man] Echo whiskey Victor identified.
- Okay, whiskey Victor.
- So where are we going?
- Ah, we're gonna do
a drop off at Byron
and then I've got to go to a
little airfield near rocky.
- All the way up there?
- Yeah.
- We'll be back
by tonight though, won't we?
- Better be.
- Byron, huh?
Now that's the airstrip with
a tricky approach, isn't it?
- What's tricky about it?
- Well, I just seem to remember
having a bit of trouble with that one.
Maybe you could talk me through it
when we get there, show
me what I'm doing wrong.
- Yeah, sure.
Whatever. - Yeah.
Because you're an instinctual
kind of pilot, jimbo.
I mean, I could probably learn quite
a few pointers from you.
- Is that right?
- Mm-hmm.
I know that I haven't
really said it in the past,
but I really admire your talent.
- Scotty?
- [Scotty] Hmm?
- No.
- What?
You just said that you'd help me out.
- No, I'm talking about
swapping shifts.
I saw the schedule.
You're on, I'm not.
Sorry.
- Jimbo, please.
Just do me this one favor
and I'll owe you for
the rest of my life.
- Oh (Laughing).
Your life.
Your life doesn't even
begin to come close
to what I'd miss out on.
Tonight I glimpse heaven.
- Come on, jimbo.
Look, I met this girl, mate.
She's the hottest looking
chick you've ever seen.
- Look, I would do this.
Normally I would.
You know me, but I
will give you one word
to explain why I can't, Tatiana.
(Jimbo laughing)
What's her name?
- Angela.
- Angela.
Angela.
It's a nice name, but it's not Tatiana.
- Now look, I've been trying to get out
with this girl for weeks, mate.
If I don't show tonight,
then she's gonna, it would've
blown it for good, mate.
- Oh.
I tell you what I'll do, Scotty.
I'll let you fly home so you
can get your hours up, eh?
- Yeah, thanks, eh.
- Post those off straightaway, please.
Shay?
What's the matter?
- I just don't get it, Lauren.
Why her, why Kate?
- Why Kate what?
- Well, how come she's the
one who gets to get married
and go and live overseas?
- You fall in love,
anything can happen.
- Yeah, but at school she was hopeless.
She always got lower grades than me.
She was never in with the
right crowd, and she was fat.
- Oh, well, that's not gonna
stop anyone from marrying her.
Anyway, if we all stayed the same way
we were at school, I'd
be skinny with pimples.
- Oh, you just don't get it, do you?
If Kate Russell can go off
and get married and live overseas,
then what am I doing with my life?
I should be doing more.
- Because of Kate Russell?
- No!
Well, yeah.
All my friends are doing
all this exciting stuff
and I'm being left behind.
- Shay, you can't spend your life
comparing yourself to other people.
- I know that Lauren,
but that doesn't stop me
from feeling left behind.
- Thanks, Mr. manning.
Now you'll be contacted
in the next couple days
about the court hearing.
- So are you gonna
throw the book at him?
- Well, break and enter with intent,
illegal use of a motor vehicle,
committing an act of
violence at an airport,
it doesn't look good.
But the judge should go
easy on him at his age.
- Did he tell you why he did it?
- Something about the flight
path and his wife dying.
Poor old bloke.
I don't suppose you'd do us a favor?
We don't wanna lock an
old guy like this up,
but he has to be bailed on
someone's recognizance.
- [Jimbo] What do you
got in this thing?
- [Ron] Special tropical feed
for the reptile pen at Sydney zoo.
- [Jimbo] What do these
reptiles eat, anvils?
- There's a lot in there.
I really packed it in.
- Okay, see you later.
What I wanna know is how
we're gonna get it out.
(Engine rumbling)
(Tense music)
(Animal growling)
(Dramatic music)
- What is it?
- There's something in there!
- Yeah, it's food for the zoo.
- What, food with eyes,
food that moves?
- It didn't move.
- It moved!
Would I make it up?
Have a look!
(Tense music)
(Animal growling)
- Whoa!
What do you think it is?
(Animal growling)
(Dramatic music)
- Whatever it is, it's not happy.
- A lion?
- Don't lions normally have eyelashes?
- I don't know.
I've never been close
enough to check. - Oh, it looks
like a man eater.
- Oh, you don't know that
from looking at its eye.
For all we know, it could
be something cuddly.
- That eye is not cuddly.
That eye is filled with hate.
- Don't touch it!
Don't give it any excuses.
(Tense music)
(Engine rumbling)
- Come on, out with it.
You've filed that same piece
of paper three times now.
- Do you think I'm pretty?
- Of course you are.
I don't believe this.
You get one wedding invitation
and your self esteem's shot to pieces.
- Yeah, well I can't help thinking
what everybody else has
got that I haven't.
- Have you heard the expression
the grass is greener?
- Well, maybe it is.
- Trust me, other
people's lives are never
as interesting as you
imagine them to be.
- Do you think I'm having
a mid-life crisis?
- No.
No, I don't think so.
Everyone goes through this.
I did. - Really?
- Yeah, of course.
I still do.
- Oh, Lauren, but you've
had another career.
You've traveled, you've lived overseas.
- Give yourself time.
There's a lot of things I haven't done.
- [Shay] Like what?
- Getting married, having children.
- Do you think you'll ever be a mother?
- Well, I've got to find someone first.
- Yeah, I know the feeling.
I've never been serious about anyone.
- Me too.
- Oh, you must've!
- Well, never serious
enough for it to last.
- Yeah, well I wish I
could get that far.
- This is it.
Thanks for the lift.
- No problem.
(Engine rumbling)
You gonna be all right?
Wanna see a doctor or something?
(Engine rumbling)
- What can a doctor do for me?
(Door slamming)
(Keys jingling)
(Jet engine screaming)
Stupid thing!
No, I can do it!
- How about a cup of tea?
- So now you're inviting
yourself inside?
- No, I meant for you.
I reckon you could do with one.
(Engine rumbling)
(Crate thudding)
- I wonder what it is?
- Who cares, okay?
Let's just get home and
get it off the aircraft.
- What if it's a dolphin?
You're supposed to wet 'em
down every 10 minutes or so.
- Jimbo, it's not a dolphin.
I guarantee it.
- Do you think it's got enough air?
- It's got plenty of air.
Just forget it.
Jimbo!
- No, I just wanna take
just a little peek.
(Animal growling)
(Dramatic music)
- What is it?
- It is a man eater!
- Huh?
Give me a look.
(Tense music)
(Crocodile growling)
Whoa!
That is going against about
a dozen regulations.
Big sky base, this is
whiskey Victor bravo.
- whiskey Victor bravo,
this is big sky base.
Go ahead, Scotty.
- Yeah, Shay, we might
have a problem here.
We have a giant crocodile on board.
- Yeah, sure, Scotty.
- It's true.
- Why would we lie?
- Well, because you have
a warped sense of humor.
- Shay, it is big.
It has got leathery skin,
beady eyes, and big teeth.
It is a crocodile!
- Wow, you really are serious.
- Shay, just get in
contact with the guy
that we got this from.
- Ron!
- Ron someone.
His name will be on the invoice.
Tell him that we know
what's in his crate.
- But it is thrashing around
in there something bad.
And what are we supposed to do?
- Got that, whiskey Victor bravo.
Just hang in there.
I'll get straight back
to you as soon as I can.
Big sky base.
- Huh!
Whiskey Victor.
- What is that bloke up to telling us
it's just food for the zoo?
- Well, maybe it is, mate.
- Scotty!
What eats live crocodiles?
These guys don't get eaten,
they are the eaters!
- Well, maybe he's
trying to smuggle it.
- Whatever.
He didn't want us to
know about it, did he?
(Crocodile growling)
- If you drive a truck into a jumbo,
you're gonna take a lot
of people with you.
I don't think you want that
on your conscious, do you?
- I wasn't thinking of that.
Nobody would listen about Greta.
Nobody cared!
- If you're crashing into
a jumbo, it won't...
- Won't what?
Won't bring her back?
Is that what you were gonna say?
- Look, killing people,
including yourself,
is not gonna do anyone any good.
- So now I'm being
counseled by a pilot?
You're one of the blokes responsible!
- I don't fly jumbos!
- And I don't need your advice.
What the hell would you know about...
- Figure I don't have to be here.
- But why?
- Well, because you were
gonna top yourself.
What else was I gonna do?
- Go about your own
bloody own business!
- Ah, look.
I gotta go.
I'll call you about going to court.
What's your number?
- What?
- I said, forget it!
(Jet engine rumbling)
- It was like that when she went.
She was just lying here
trying to say something
and I couldn't hear a word she said.
That sound, that was the
last thing she heard.
It shouldn't be like that.
- I'll give you a call
about going to court.
If you need me, this is where I work.
- Don't bother.
I'll be there.
Don't worry.
(Jet engine rumbling)
- Ron said there must have
been a mix-up with the crates
'cause apparently the
crocodile's meant to go
to another zoo.
- A likely story!
I still say he's doing and
trade in protected species.
You should call the cops, Shay!
- One thing at a time, guys.
All right?
Ron said just don't go near it.
- Go near it?
The thing's sitting behind us.
- Look, he said there's no problem,
so just stay calm, okay?
He's only a crocodile.
- Only?
You wouldn't say that if
it was breathing on you!
- He said that there'll be someone here
to pick it up on your arrival.
- Big deal!
So now we're gonna fly around
for the next few hours
with this thing thumping
around like crazy?
- He also said not to panic
because if you just leave it alone,
it'll sleep the whole trip.
So good luck.
(Scoffing)
Big sky base.
- whiskey Victor bravo.
(Crocodile growling)
Well, if that's asleep,
I don't wanna see it awake.
(Crocodile growing)
- Maybe he's having a nightmare.
- He?
What makes you so sure it's a he?
(Crocodile growling)
That is no nightmare!
- Well, maybe we should just
whack him with something
and knock him out cold?
- What with?
Besides, isn't he a protected species?
- Hey he's not protected
from a whack in the head!
(Crocodile growling)
- Okay, you hit him.
(Crocodile growling)
- Well, maybe we should
just threaten it!
- Hungry.
Look it, he's just hungry.
- Well, what do you feed
a three meter crocodile?
- What have you got?
A number six chicken
for a half of ton crocodile?
- Well, what did you bring?
- Do you think he'd mind chili?
- He loves chili.
Come on, before he breaks
through the side of the box!
- But look, it's not
really conformed to this.
Okay, look now.
We're really sorry, big fellow, okay?
Now once you've had your yummy
lunch, mm, a bit sleepy.
Oh, I'm a bit... - Would you shut up?
Come on!
Are you ready?
- Okay.
Okay, let her rip!
(Crocodile growling) (Dramatic music)
- Is that it?
(Crocodile growling)
Now he's pissed off!
- I told you he wouldn't like chili!
(Dramatic music)
- He's busting at the side!
- I think he wants us
to be his main course!
(Dramatic music)
- [Chris] So I heard it got stuck in?
- [Roley] Hand us that spindle wheel.
- Okay, he must be upset
about his wife dying,
but how could blowing up a
jumbo make up for that?
I mean, sure, the noise
is bad at his place,
but a lot of people have
to put up with that noise
and they don't go around trying
to blow up jumbos, do they?
What?
- What if Robbie died?
I reckon you'd go a little crazy.
- Oh, yeah, sure.
But I wouldn't go and try
killing a whole lot of people.
- I guess you're right.
- Yeah, see?
- Because you haven't been
married to her for 50 years.
You're feeling sorry for yourself
because she didn't
remember your anniversary.
Imagine what that old bloke
must me going through.
- No, he ate it in one gulp.
Doesn't he ever feed the thing?
- He said that they
like a lot of chickens.
- He says it prefers a lot chooks.
Look, yeah, okay, look.
Did you tell him that
it's getting worse?
And I mean, it is going berserk.
- I did, and he said that she's a she.
- He's a she.
- I told you so.
- Yeah, Shay, tell him
that we're not panicking,
but as we sit here,
she is turning the crate
into matchsticks!
(Crocodile growling)
- Hey, look, we're gonna have to land.
- Yeah, all right.
- We're gonna have
to land soon. - All right, yeah.
Why didn't you tell me this before?
Okay, okay, yes.
Thanks, Shay.
Okay, but are you assured that somebody
will be there as soon as we land?
Okay.
Thank you, big sky base!
(Headset clattering)
Okay, good news.
We've got drugs.
- Now is not the time, jimbo.
- They're crocodile drugs!
We're supposed to give it a shot
as soon as we're landing.
(Crocodile growling)
But they must have got the dose wrong.
We've got to give it to him now.
- Good luck, doc.
- Well, you've got to help!
- No!
What?
I'm flying the plane, mate.
(Crate clattering)
(Crocodile growling)
- Ah, Chris!
Where have you been?
- The cops talked me into taking
that old bloke home from the station.
- Oh, we needed you here.
It's been absolute bedlam.
Scotty and Jim got stuck
with a rampaging crocodile
and Lex has had to do all your flights.
- I'm sorry.
It wasn't my fault.
- Couldn't someone else
have taken him home?
- There want anyone else.
- He's disrupted everything.
We've had to reschedule all the flights
'cause the arc are crawling
all over the runways
with their investigation.
- Don't you think you're
being a little unfair?
He tried to kill himself!
- It's good of you to help.
- Help?
He lost his wife.
I didn't help him at all.
(Engine rumbling)
- Okay, now Dr. James is ready.
Come on, Scotty.
Let's go!
- You do it.
Now I can see some turbulence.
- Don't be a wimp.
I've got to stick this in
his rump near his leg.
Now come and help me!
- Yeah, so do it! (Crate clattering)
- Oh, Scotty!
(Crate clattering)
- What is she doing?
- Come on.
Hurry up!
- Keep your pants on.
- Yeah, let's go.
All right, ready? - Yep.
(Crocodile growling) (Dramatic music)
- Ah!
- Oh!
- Sorry.
Sorry.
- Ah.
That can't be good.
(Dramatic music)
(Shouting)
(Crate clattering)
Scott!
Ah!
(Crate clattering)
Watch out!
(Dramatic music) (Crate clattering)
(Gentle music)
(Jet engine screaming)
- Chris?
(Knocking)
Phone call.
(Jet engine rumbling)
- Well, the last time I saw him,
he didn't look like he
was going anywhere.
- Well, we can't get ahold of him.
We've got a legal aid solicitor
who wants to see him, but no answer.
Thanks anyway. - Thank you.
I just got to go out.
- What, again?
- Yeah.
I just got to check up on someone.
- Big sky, this is
whiskey Victor bravo.
Big sky, this is whiskey Victor bravo.
Shay, quick!
What the hell are you doing?
- whiskey Victor bravo.
This is big sky base.
Scotty, will you keep your pants on?
What is it now?
- Look, get Chris.
I need him quick.
- [Shay] I'm sorry, but he's
not here at the moment.
- Well, we've got a bit of a problem.
Jimbo tried to inject it,
but he got himself instead.
He's fallen asleep and the crocodile's
trying to rip the plane.
- Oh my god, Scotty.
Don't hurt it or anything.
- Hurt it?
What about what it can do to us?
Look, I'm heading for the
nearest airfield to put down,
but it's half an hour away.
Can't you find Chris?
- What do you want him for?
- [Scotty] Well, he'll know what to do.
- Well, I'm sorry, Scotty.
You're the one who paid
out only this morning.
- What?
I didn't.
Look, if he comes in, just get
him to radio me, will you?
And tell him to hurry!
- I've got that, whiskey
Victor bravo, you dweeb.
Big sky base.
- Would you cut that out?
Wake up!
Come on, jimbo.
Wake up.
- Ah.
Ah!
Ah.
I had a dream there was an alligator.
(Crocodile growling)
Oh yeah.
- We're on the track for an extra
in the middle of nowhere, all right?
I'm putting down.
- Scotty, that doesn't look good.
- Well, that's what I've
been trying to tell you.
Wake up.
- I'm awake, I'm okay.
I'm all right, I'm all right.
(Crocodile growling)
(Knocking)
- Harry?
Harry?
(Tense music)
Harry?
- G'day.
- Cops have been trying to call you.
Are you okay? - Would you stop
asking me that? - You ought to lock
your front door, mate.
Anybody could come in.
- Today's Friday, isn't it?
- Yeah.
- Jeez.
I better be moving. - Hey, Harry?
- Ah, Greta will kill me!
(Tense music)
Every Friday she sent me down here
to buy sausage rolls.
She said she'd cooked all week,
didn't have to on Fridays.
- Yeah, that's what Robbie says.
- Robbie?
- Yeah, my wife.
Well, my ex-wife.
- I knew it had to be Friday
tasting those sausage rolls,
even though I never liked them much.
It wouldn't be Friday otherwise.
Women, eh?
They make you do just about anything.
- This is worse than I thought.
- Hmm.
So, how come?
- How come what?
- Those couple of guys
you were serious about.
How come they didn't last?
- I just realized I didn't wanna spend
the rest of my life with them.
- Don't you ever worry
you're never gonna meet
the right one?
- What are you worried about?
You've got a lot more time than me.
- Yeah, I know, but I don't
wanna end up lonely.
I mean, I've got great
friends and all that, but...
- It's not the same thing.
- Yeah!
I don't wanna wake up one morning
and realize that I'm old and alone.
- There are a lot of
other things in life
besides men and babies.
(Laughing)
- Mm-hmm.
- So, why did you do it then?
- I'm not as smart as you are, Harry.
I didn't know what I
had till I lost it.
- Tried to win her back?
- Hey, of course.
She didn't wanna know about me.
She's moved on.
- So now you're on your own?
- Well, yeah, when I get home.
- I always knew one of us
would get left behind.
I used to worry that I'd go first.
I didn't want her going
through all that,
to know what it's like to be solo.
Hey, what do you reckon?
(Birds chirping)
Wouldn't be Friday without flowers.
- Hang on.
- Now they've got
plenty of money.
I'll only take a few.
- Hey, Harry!
- Now they're for Greta!
(Dog barking)
(Engine rumbling)
- Oh!
All stations, this is
whiskey Victor bravo
on approach to airstrip g-4-0.
- She's getting out!
Hurry.
- What do you mean, hurry?
It's a bloody aircraft!
- She's getting out.
She's getting out.
(Dramatic music)
Oh, she's out.
(Dramatic music)
Oh, oh, she's an ugly mother.
- Jimbo, would you shut up?
- Ah!
- What?
- She ate your leather jacket.
(Crocodile growling)
(Tires squealing)
(Dramatic music)
- Come on!
We're out of here!
(Crocodile growling)
Come on!
(Crashing)
- I must speak to my pharmacist
abut getting more of these.
(Crocodile growling)
(Thudding)
- I've got to get back.
I'm supposed to be doing the
broken hill run for Chris.
- Tatiana!
I'm supposed to meet her in 40 minutes!
- I told Angela I'd meet her at 7:30.
- I hate that crocodile!
(Crocodile growling)
(Clattering)
- It used to be a lovely street.
Trees all up and down.
Knew everybody.
When the planes started
coming, the houses went.
Suddenly they're all gone.
I've never been in one of them.
(Jet engine screaming)
- Come on, then.
- Where are we going?
(Engine rumbling)
I never thought you'd
talk me into this.
- So what do you reckon?
It's not all bad up here, is it?
- Realize how small
everything would look.
- Yeah, I reckon we'll be going
over your place about now.
- Yeah.
See all of this.
All of those people.
It isn't my world down there anymore.
My world stopped at the
end of the street,
my world with Greta.
(Gentle music)
(Door slamming)
(Gentle music)
- Chris!
- I thought you'd better have these
since I bought 'em for you.
- Oh, thank you.
Roses?
- Yeah, your favorite.
- Used to be.
- Since when?
- Is there anything else, because...
- Yeah, yeah, I know.
You gotta go out.
I met this old guy today.
His wife just died.
It was the saddest
thing you'll ever see.
He was so lost and lonely without her.
Say you wanted to get married again,
start a new life.
- Mm-hmm?
- What would happen to us?
- What do you mean?
- Well, I guess you wouldn't want me
hanging around so much, would you?
- What are you talking about?
You're the kids' father.
You're always gonna be around.
Nothing will change that.
- Well, I better let you go.
You have a good night
with the bean counter.
- Sorry I ruined your plans
- yeah, nevermind.
- You should go out.
- Yeah, maybe I will.
(Gentle music)
- [Ronnie] See ya!
(Gentle music)
(Crocodile growling)
- There she is again.
(Clattering)
- [Shay] whiskey Victor bravo.
This is big sky.
Scotty, where the hell are you?
- Yeah, I'm here.
- Jimbo!
- Just reach in and grab the headset.
- You reach in and grab the headset.
- [Shay] Guys, are you there?
- Ah, we should have put
the emergency signal on.
- Oh, now you think of it?
(Slapping)
- How's the old man?
Is he all right?
- Not really, but what can you
do for somebody like that?
His wife's gone.
Nobody's gonna replace her.
He's probably gonna die in jail.
- It must be awful
to suddenly find yourself
alone like that.
Ah, I give such lousy advice.
Ah, Shay, she was having a crisis
about never finding anyone special.
- She's just a kid.
What's she worried about?
- That's what I said.
Wait till she gets to our age.
- Can you ask Shay to cancel
that restaurant booking she
made for me for tonight?
- I didn't know you had plans.
- Oh, it wasn't important.
- It is!
You spend most of your life working.
- Oh, well look who's talking.
(Laughing)
- Do you wanna have dinner
with me tomorrow night?
- Yeah, tomorrow night'll be great.
(Jet engine rumbling)
(Soothing music)
(Whooshing)
(Bright music)
- Oh no.
I'm here, love.
I haven't gone anywhere.
(Engine screaming)
(Glass jingling)
Just rest yourself, love.
It'll be gone in a minute.
Hang on a minute.
- Harry!
(Engine rumbling)
- Shut up!
(Engine screaming)
(Gentle piano music)
There, that's better, Greta love.
Can you hear the music?
(Gentle piano music)
(Jet engine screaming)
(Faint speaking)
What?
I can't hear you.
(Faint speaking)
(Engine rumbling)
(Sobbing)
No!
You can't leave me!
Oh, you can't leave me.
(Sobbing) (Gentle piano music)
(Engine screaming)
(Dramatic music)
(Soothing music)
(Engine rumbling)
(Soothing music)
- Hey!
- Chris!
- Guess what today is?
- You got me.
What? - It's our anniversary.
- Is it?
Oh, yeah, so it is.
- happy anniversary.
- What?
- What's so funny?
- Well, we're not together,
so it seems like a silly thing to say.
- But why?
I thought I thought we could
go out to dinner or something.
- You wanna celebrate it?
- Well, yeah.
It's a big day.
- Chris, it was once a big day.
- Well, couldn't we
still go out to dinner?
- I'm kinda busy.
- Well, that's all right.
I can pick the kids up from sport
or whatever they're doing.
- No, it's not the kids.
I've got a date.
- On our anniversary?
- Yeah.
Look, I'm running late.
I'll see you later, okay?
(Door closing)
- All I'm asking is for a night off.
How often do I do that?
- Scotty, I'm sick of this.
The schedule's set.
You're on tonight.
That's it. - No, come on.
You're always taking jimbo's side.
I never did...
- No, that's it, that's it!
I'm not talking about this anymore.
Did Ronnie leave the service history
for Charlie tango here for me?
- Not that I know of.
- Ah!
- When was he supposed
to do that? - Two days ago.
What's the matter
with the guy? - Chris!
Ah, man!
I don't believe it!
- What?
- Will you look at this?
- Oh, a friend of yours
is getting married.
- Yeah, I didn't even know
she was serious about the guy.
- Well, what's the problem?
Is he an old boyfriend of yours?
- As if!
No, she's not just getting married.
She's going to live in Paris with him.
- Oh, some women have all
the luck, don't they?
- Yeah, they do.
Not me.
- Jimbo!
I was looking for you.
- Yeah?
- I think you might want some
company on this trip, mate.
- Huh?
But why? - Well, it's a long flight.
You might want someone to talk to.
- Ronnie!
That service history you promised me
two days ago, I need it now!
Come on, where is it?
Stop mucking around!
- Will you kindly shut up?
I'm not listening to you
if you're gonna keep talking like that.
- Roley!
- What's all the screaming?
You used to be a polite bloke.
- What are you doing here?
- I'm trying to do some work
on a Piper chieftain, but some idiot
keeps screaming at me.
- This is so great!
How long have we got you for?
- Two weeks.
Ronnie's a crook, apparently.
I got the call this morning.
The stress is getting to
you, too by the sound of it.
- Oh, it's just one of those days.
- How's Robbie and the kids?
- Ah, they're good.
Real good.
It's our anniversary today.
- What do you mean?
I thought you got separated.
- Not you, too.
- You don't have anniversaries
when you separate, do you?
- Why not?
- It's stupid.
They don't mean anything
anymore, do they?
(Dramatic music)
(Tires squealing)
(Engine rumbling)
(Dramatic music)
- Tower, this is tango whiskey Sierra.
There's a tanker on
the crossing runway.
- [Man] Tango whiskey Sierra,
thank you for your notification.
The vehicle is not authorized.
We'll send out security.
(Dramatic music)
(Engine rumbling)
(Dramatic music)
(Engine rumbling)
(Dramatic music)
- He's heading straight for
the boeing on runway 1-6.
I think they're gonna collide!
(Dramatic music)
- Hey!
Get out!
What are you doing?
- What the hell do you
think you're doing?
- Don't come near me!
(Dramatic music)
- Hey, just calm down.
You don't wanna do this.
- How the hell do you
know what I want to do?
(Dramatic music)
- This is extremely dangerous.
You could hurt a lot of people.
- They all deserve it!
(Engine screaming)
- Look.
This isn't the answer to anything.
(Sirens wailing)
(Sobbing)
(Sirens wailing) (Dramatic music)
- Departures, this is
echo whiskey Victor
turning left on 0-9-0,
passing on through 500, flying to 800.
- [Man] Echo whiskey Victor identified.
- Okay, whiskey Victor.
- So where are we going?
- Ah, we're gonna do
a drop off at Byron
and then I've got to go to a
little airfield near rocky.
- All the way up there?
- Yeah.
- We'll be back
by tonight though, won't we?
- Better be.
- Byron, huh?
Now that's the airstrip with
a tricky approach, isn't it?
- What's tricky about it?
- Well, I just seem to remember
having a bit of trouble with that one.
Maybe you could talk me through it
when we get there, show
me what I'm doing wrong.
- Yeah, sure.
Whatever. - Yeah.
Because you're an instinctual
kind of pilot, jimbo.
I mean, I could probably learn quite
a few pointers from you.
- Is that right?
- Mm-hmm.
I know that I haven't
really said it in the past,
but I really admire your talent.
- Scotty?
- [Scotty] Hmm?
- No.
- What?
You just said that you'd help me out.
- No, I'm talking about
swapping shifts.
I saw the schedule.
You're on, I'm not.
Sorry.
- Jimbo, please.
Just do me this one favor
and I'll owe you for
the rest of my life.
- Oh (Laughing).
Your life.
Your life doesn't even
begin to come close
to what I'd miss out on.
Tonight I glimpse heaven.
- Come on, jimbo.
Look, I met this girl, mate.
She's the hottest looking
chick you've ever seen.
- Look, I would do this.
Normally I would.
You know me, but I
will give you one word
to explain why I can't, Tatiana.
(Jimbo laughing)
What's her name?
- Angela.
- Angela.
Angela.
It's a nice name, but it's not Tatiana.
- Now look, I've been trying to get out
with this girl for weeks, mate.
If I don't show tonight,
then she's gonna, it would've
blown it for good, mate.
- Oh.
I tell you what I'll do, Scotty.
I'll let you fly home so you
can get your hours up, eh?
- Yeah, thanks, eh.
- Post those off straightaway, please.
Shay?
What's the matter?
- I just don't get it, Lauren.
Why her, why Kate?
- Why Kate what?
- Well, how come she's the
one who gets to get married
and go and live overseas?
- You fall in love,
anything can happen.
- Yeah, but at school she was hopeless.
She always got lower grades than me.
She was never in with the
right crowd, and she was fat.
- Oh, well, that's not gonna
stop anyone from marrying her.
Anyway, if we all stayed the same way
we were at school, I'd
be skinny with pimples.
- Oh, you just don't get it, do you?
If Kate Russell can go off
and get married and live overseas,
then what am I doing with my life?
I should be doing more.
- Because of Kate Russell?
- No!
Well, yeah.
All my friends are doing
all this exciting stuff
and I'm being left behind.
- Shay, you can't spend your life
comparing yourself to other people.
- I know that Lauren,
but that doesn't stop me
from feeling left behind.
- Thanks, Mr. manning.
Now you'll be contacted
in the next couple days
about the court hearing.
- So are you gonna
throw the book at him?
- Well, break and enter with intent,
illegal use of a motor vehicle,
committing an act of
violence at an airport,
it doesn't look good.
But the judge should go
easy on him at his age.
- Did he tell you why he did it?
- Something about the flight
path and his wife dying.
Poor old bloke.
I don't suppose you'd do us a favor?
We don't wanna lock an
old guy like this up,
but he has to be bailed on
someone's recognizance.
- [Jimbo] What do you
got in this thing?
- [Ron] Special tropical feed
for the reptile pen at Sydney zoo.
- [Jimbo] What do these
reptiles eat, anvils?
- There's a lot in there.
I really packed it in.
- Okay, see you later.
What I wanna know is how
we're gonna get it out.
(Engine rumbling)
(Tense music)
(Animal growling)
(Dramatic music)
- What is it?
- There's something in there!
- Yeah, it's food for the zoo.
- What, food with eyes,
food that moves?
- It didn't move.
- It moved!
Would I make it up?
Have a look!
(Tense music)
(Animal growling)
- Whoa!
What do you think it is?
(Animal growling)
(Dramatic music)
- Whatever it is, it's not happy.
- A lion?
- Don't lions normally have eyelashes?
- I don't know.
I've never been close
enough to check. - Oh, it looks
like a man eater.
- Oh, you don't know that
from looking at its eye.
For all we know, it could
be something cuddly.
- That eye is not cuddly.
That eye is filled with hate.
- Don't touch it!
Don't give it any excuses.
(Tense music)
(Engine rumbling)
- Come on, out with it.
You've filed that same piece
of paper three times now.
- Do you think I'm pretty?
- Of course you are.
I don't believe this.
You get one wedding invitation
and your self esteem's shot to pieces.
- Yeah, well I can't help thinking
what everybody else has
got that I haven't.
- Have you heard the expression
the grass is greener?
- Well, maybe it is.
- Trust me, other
people's lives are never
as interesting as you
imagine them to be.
- Do you think I'm having
a mid-life crisis?
- No.
No, I don't think so.
Everyone goes through this.
I did. - Really?
- Yeah, of course.
I still do.
- Oh, Lauren, but you've
had another career.
You've traveled, you've lived overseas.
- Give yourself time.
There's a lot of things I haven't done.
- [Shay] Like what?
- Getting married, having children.
- Do you think you'll ever be a mother?
- Well, I've got to find someone first.
- Yeah, I know the feeling.
I've never been serious about anyone.
- Me too.
- Oh, you must've!
- Well, never serious
enough for it to last.
- Yeah, well I wish I
could get that far.
- This is it.
Thanks for the lift.
- No problem.
(Engine rumbling)
You gonna be all right?
Wanna see a doctor or something?
(Engine rumbling)
- What can a doctor do for me?
(Door slamming)
(Keys jingling)
(Jet engine screaming)
Stupid thing!
No, I can do it!
- How about a cup of tea?
- So now you're inviting
yourself inside?
- No, I meant for you.
I reckon you could do with one.
(Engine rumbling)
(Crate thudding)
- I wonder what it is?
- Who cares, okay?
Let's just get home and
get it off the aircraft.
- What if it's a dolphin?
You're supposed to wet 'em
down every 10 minutes or so.
- Jimbo, it's not a dolphin.
I guarantee it.
- Do you think it's got enough air?
- It's got plenty of air.
Just forget it.
Jimbo!
- No, I just wanna take
just a little peek.
(Animal growling)
(Dramatic music)
- What is it?
- It is a man eater!
- Huh?
Give me a look.
(Tense music)
(Crocodile growling)
Whoa!
That is going against about
a dozen regulations.
Big sky base, this is
whiskey Victor bravo.
- whiskey Victor bravo,
this is big sky base.
Go ahead, Scotty.
- Yeah, Shay, we might
have a problem here.
We have a giant crocodile on board.
- Yeah, sure, Scotty.
- It's true.
- Why would we lie?
- Well, because you have
a warped sense of humor.
- Shay, it is big.
It has got leathery skin,
beady eyes, and big teeth.
It is a crocodile!
- Wow, you really are serious.
- Shay, just get in
contact with the guy
that we got this from.
- Ron!
- Ron someone.
His name will be on the invoice.
Tell him that we know
what's in his crate.
- But it is thrashing around
in there something bad.
And what are we supposed to do?
- Got that, whiskey Victor bravo.
Just hang in there.
I'll get straight back
to you as soon as I can.
Big sky base.
- Huh!
Whiskey Victor.
- What is that bloke up to telling us
it's just food for the zoo?
- Well, maybe it is, mate.
- Scotty!
What eats live crocodiles?
These guys don't get eaten,
they are the eaters!
- Well, maybe he's
trying to smuggle it.
- Whatever.
He didn't want us to
know about it, did he?
(Crocodile growling)
- If you drive a truck into a jumbo,
you're gonna take a lot
of people with you.
I don't think you want that
on your conscious, do you?
- I wasn't thinking of that.
Nobody would listen about Greta.
Nobody cared!
- If you're crashing into
a jumbo, it won't...
- Won't what?
Won't bring her back?
Is that what you were gonna say?
- Look, killing people,
including yourself,
is not gonna do anyone any good.
- So now I'm being
counseled by a pilot?
You're one of the blokes responsible!
- I don't fly jumbos!
- And I don't need your advice.
What the hell would you know about...
- Figure I don't have to be here.
- But why?
- Well, because you were
gonna top yourself.
What else was I gonna do?
- Go about your own
bloody own business!
- Ah, look.
I gotta go.
I'll call you about going to court.
What's your number?
- What?
- I said, forget it!
(Jet engine rumbling)
- It was like that when she went.
She was just lying here
trying to say something
and I couldn't hear a word she said.
That sound, that was the
last thing she heard.
It shouldn't be like that.
- I'll give you a call
about going to court.
If you need me, this is where I work.
- Don't bother.
I'll be there.
Don't worry.
(Jet engine rumbling)
- Ron said there must have
been a mix-up with the crates
'cause apparently the
crocodile's meant to go
to another zoo.
- A likely story!
I still say he's doing and
trade in protected species.
You should call the cops, Shay!
- One thing at a time, guys.
All right?
Ron said just don't go near it.
- Go near it?
The thing's sitting behind us.
- Look, he said there's no problem,
so just stay calm, okay?
He's only a crocodile.
- Only?
You wouldn't say that if
it was breathing on you!
- He said that there'll be someone here
to pick it up on your arrival.
- Big deal!
So now we're gonna fly around
for the next few hours
with this thing thumping
around like crazy?
- He also said not to panic
because if you just leave it alone,
it'll sleep the whole trip.
So good luck.
(Scoffing)
Big sky base.
- whiskey Victor bravo.
(Crocodile growling)
Well, if that's asleep,
I don't wanna see it awake.
(Crocodile growing)
- Maybe he's having a nightmare.
- He?
What makes you so sure it's a he?
(Crocodile growling)
That is no nightmare!
- Well, maybe we should just
whack him with something
and knock him out cold?
- What with?
Besides, isn't he a protected species?
- Hey he's not protected
from a whack in the head!
(Crocodile growling)
- Okay, you hit him.
(Crocodile growling)
- Well, maybe we should
just threaten it!
- Hungry.
Look it, he's just hungry.
- Well, what do you feed
a three meter crocodile?
- What have you got?
A number six chicken
for a half of ton crocodile?
- Well, what did you bring?
- Do you think he'd mind chili?
- He loves chili.
Come on, before he breaks
through the side of the box!
- But look, it's not
really conformed to this.
Okay, look now.
We're really sorry, big fellow, okay?
Now once you've had your yummy
lunch, mm, a bit sleepy.
Oh, I'm a bit... - Would you shut up?
Come on!
Are you ready?
- Okay.
Okay, let her rip!
(Crocodile growling) (Dramatic music)
- Is that it?
(Crocodile growling)
Now he's pissed off!
- I told you he wouldn't like chili!
(Dramatic music)
- He's busting at the side!
- I think he wants us
to be his main course!
(Dramatic music)
- [Chris] So I heard it got stuck in?
- [Roley] Hand us that spindle wheel.
- Okay, he must be upset
about his wife dying,
but how could blowing up a
jumbo make up for that?
I mean, sure, the noise
is bad at his place,
but a lot of people have
to put up with that noise
and they don't go around trying
to blow up jumbos, do they?
What?
- What if Robbie died?
I reckon you'd go a little crazy.
- Oh, yeah, sure.
But I wouldn't go and try
killing a whole lot of people.
- I guess you're right.
- Yeah, see?
- Because you haven't been
married to her for 50 years.
You're feeling sorry for yourself
because she didn't
remember your anniversary.
Imagine what that old bloke
must me going through.
- No, he ate it in one gulp.
Doesn't he ever feed the thing?
- He said that they
like a lot of chickens.
- He says it prefers a lot chooks.
Look, yeah, okay, look.
Did you tell him that
it's getting worse?
And I mean, it is going berserk.
- I did, and he said that she's a she.
- He's a she.
- I told you so.
- Yeah, Shay, tell him
that we're not panicking,
but as we sit here,
she is turning the crate
into matchsticks!
(Crocodile growling)
- Hey, look, we're gonna have to land.
- Yeah, all right.
- We're gonna have
to land soon. - All right, yeah.
Why didn't you tell me this before?
Okay, okay, yes.
Thanks, Shay.
Okay, but are you assured that somebody
will be there as soon as we land?
Okay.
Thank you, big sky base!
(Headset clattering)
Okay, good news.
We've got drugs.
- Now is not the time, jimbo.
- They're crocodile drugs!
We're supposed to give it a shot
as soon as we're landing.
(Crocodile growling)
But they must have got the dose wrong.
We've got to give it to him now.
- Good luck, doc.
- Well, you've got to help!
- No!
What?
I'm flying the plane, mate.
(Crate clattering)
(Crocodile growling)
- Ah, Chris!
Where have you been?
- The cops talked me into taking
that old bloke home from the station.
- Oh, we needed you here.
It's been absolute bedlam.
Scotty and Jim got stuck
with a rampaging crocodile
and Lex has had to do all your flights.
- I'm sorry.
It wasn't my fault.
- Couldn't someone else
have taken him home?
- There want anyone else.
- He's disrupted everything.
We've had to reschedule all the flights
'cause the arc are crawling
all over the runways
with their investigation.
- Don't you think you're
being a little unfair?
He tried to kill himself!
- It's good of you to help.
- Help?
He lost his wife.
I didn't help him at all.
(Engine rumbling)
- Okay, now Dr. James is ready.
Come on, Scotty.
Let's go!
- You do it.
Now I can see some turbulence.
- Don't be a wimp.
I've got to stick this in
his rump near his leg.
Now come and help me!
- Yeah, so do it! (Crate clattering)
- Oh, Scotty!
(Crate clattering)
- What is she doing?
- Come on.
Hurry up!
- Keep your pants on.
- Yeah, let's go.
All right, ready? - Yep.
(Crocodile growling) (Dramatic music)
- Ah!
- Oh!
- Sorry.
Sorry.
- Ah.
That can't be good.
(Dramatic music)
(Shouting)
(Crate clattering)
Scott!
Ah!
(Crate clattering)
Watch out!
(Dramatic music) (Crate clattering)
(Gentle music)
(Jet engine screaming)
- Chris?
(Knocking)
Phone call.
(Jet engine rumbling)
- Well, the last time I saw him,
he didn't look like he
was going anywhere.
- Well, we can't get ahold of him.
We've got a legal aid solicitor
who wants to see him, but no answer.
Thanks anyway. - Thank you.
I just got to go out.
- What, again?
- Yeah.
I just got to check up on someone.
- Big sky, this is
whiskey Victor bravo.
Big sky, this is whiskey Victor bravo.
Shay, quick!
What the hell are you doing?
- whiskey Victor bravo.
This is big sky base.
Scotty, will you keep your pants on?
What is it now?
- Look, get Chris.
I need him quick.
- [Shay] I'm sorry, but he's
not here at the moment.
- Well, we've got a bit of a problem.
Jimbo tried to inject it,
but he got himself instead.
He's fallen asleep and the crocodile's
trying to rip the plane.
- Oh my god, Scotty.
Don't hurt it or anything.
- Hurt it?
What about what it can do to us?
Look, I'm heading for the
nearest airfield to put down,
but it's half an hour away.
Can't you find Chris?
- What do you want him for?
- [Scotty] Well, he'll know what to do.
- Well, I'm sorry, Scotty.
You're the one who paid
out only this morning.
- What?
I didn't.
Look, if he comes in, just get
him to radio me, will you?
And tell him to hurry!
- I've got that, whiskey
Victor bravo, you dweeb.
Big sky base.
- Would you cut that out?
Wake up!
Come on, jimbo.
Wake up.
- Ah.
Ah!
Ah.
I had a dream there was an alligator.
(Crocodile growling)
Oh yeah.
- We're on the track for an extra
in the middle of nowhere, all right?
I'm putting down.
- Scotty, that doesn't look good.
- Well, that's what I've
been trying to tell you.
Wake up.
- I'm awake, I'm okay.
I'm all right, I'm all right.
(Crocodile growling)
(Knocking)
- Harry?
Harry?
(Tense music)
Harry?
- G'day.
- Cops have been trying to call you.
Are you okay? - Would you stop
asking me that? - You ought to lock
your front door, mate.
Anybody could come in.
- Today's Friday, isn't it?
- Yeah.
- Jeez.
I better be moving. - Hey, Harry?
- Ah, Greta will kill me!
(Tense music)
Every Friday she sent me down here
to buy sausage rolls.
She said she'd cooked all week,
didn't have to on Fridays.
- Yeah, that's what Robbie says.
- Robbie?
- Yeah, my wife.
Well, my ex-wife.
- I knew it had to be Friday
tasting those sausage rolls,
even though I never liked them much.
It wouldn't be Friday otherwise.
Women, eh?
They make you do just about anything.
- This is worse than I thought.
- Hmm.
So, how come?
- How come what?
- Those couple of guys
you were serious about.
How come they didn't last?
- I just realized I didn't wanna spend
the rest of my life with them.
- Don't you ever worry
you're never gonna meet
the right one?
- What are you worried about?
You've got a lot more time than me.
- Yeah, I know, but I don't
wanna end up lonely.
I mean, I've got great
friends and all that, but...
- It's not the same thing.
- Yeah!
I don't wanna wake up one morning
and realize that I'm old and alone.
- There are a lot of
other things in life
besides men and babies.
(Laughing)
- Mm-hmm.
- So, why did you do it then?
- I'm not as smart as you are, Harry.
I didn't know what I
had till I lost it.
- Tried to win her back?
- Hey, of course.
She didn't wanna know about me.
She's moved on.
- So now you're on your own?
- Well, yeah, when I get home.
- I always knew one of us
would get left behind.
I used to worry that I'd go first.
I didn't want her going
through all that,
to know what it's like to be solo.
Hey, what do you reckon?
(Birds chirping)
Wouldn't be Friday without flowers.
- Hang on.
- Now they've got
plenty of money.
I'll only take a few.
- Hey, Harry!
- Now they're for Greta!
(Dog barking)
(Engine rumbling)
- Oh!
All stations, this is
whiskey Victor bravo
on approach to airstrip g-4-0.
- She's getting out!
Hurry.
- What do you mean, hurry?
It's a bloody aircraft!
- She's getting out.
She's getting out.
(Dramatic music)
Oh, she's out.
(Dramatic music)
Oh, oh, she's an ugly mother.
- Jimbo, would you shut up?
- Ah!
- What?
- She ate your leather jacket.
(Crocodile growling)
(Tires squealing)
(Dramatic music)
- Come on!
We're out of here!
(Crocodile growling)
Come on!
(Crashing)
- I must speak to my pharmacist
abut getting more of these.
(Crocodile growling)
(Thudding)
- I've got to get back.
I'm supposed to be doing the
broken hill run for Chris.
- Tatiana!
I'm supposed to meet her in 40 minutes!
- I told Angela I'd meet her at 7:30.
- I hate that crocodile!
(Crocodile growling)
(Clattering)
- It used to be a lovely street.
Trees all up and down.
Knew everybody.
When the planes started
coming, the houses went.
Suddenly they're all gone.
I've never been in one of them.
(Jet engine screaming)
- Come on, then.
- Where are we going?
(Engine rumbling)
I never thought you'd
talk me into this.
- So what do you reckon?
It's not all bad up here, is it?
- Realize how small
everything would look.
- Yeah, I reckon we'll be going
over your place about now.
- Yeah.
See all of this.
All of those people.
It isn't my world down there anymore.
My world stopped at the
end of the street,
my world with Greta.
(Gentle music)
(Door slamming)
(Gentle music)
- Chris!
- I thought you'd better have these
since I bought 'em for you.
- Oh, thank you.
Roses?
- Yeah, your favorite.
- Used to be.
- Since when?
- Is there anything else, because...
- Yeah, yeah, I know.
You gotta go out.
I met this old guy today.
His wife just died.
It was the saddest
thing you'll ever see.
He was so lost and lonely without her.
Say you wanted to get married again,
start a new life.
- Mm-hmm?
- What would happen to us?
- What do you mean?
- Well, I guess you wouldn't want me
hanging around so much, would you?
- What are you talking about?
You're the kids' father.
You're always gonna be around.
Nothing will change that.
- Well, I better let you go.
You have a good night
with the bean counter.
- Sorry I ruined your plans
- yeah, nevermind.
- You should go out.
- Yeah, maybe I will.
(Gentle music)
- [Ronnie] See ya!
(Gentle music)
(Crocodile growling)
- There she is again.
(Clattering)
- [Shay] whiskey Victor bravo.
This is big sky.
Scotty, where the hell are you?
- Yeah, I'm here.
- Jimbo!
- Just reach in and grab the headset.
- You reach in and grab the headset.
- [Shay] Guys, are you there?
- Ah, we should have put
the emergency signal on.
- Oh, now you think of it?
(Slapping)
- How's the old man?
Is he all right?
- Not really, but what can you
do for somebody like that?
His wife's gone.
Nobody's gonna replace her.
He's probably gonna die in jail.
- It must be awful
to suddenly find yourself
alone like that.
Ah, I give such lousy advice.
Ah, Shay, she was having a crisis
about never finding anyone special.
- She's just a kid.
What's she worried about?
- That's what I said.
Wait till she gets to our age.
- Can you ask Shay to cancel
that restaurant booking she
made for me for tonight?
- I didn't know you had plans.
- Oh, it wasn't important.
- It is!
You spend most of your life working.
- Oh, well look who's talking.
(Laughing)
- Do you wanna have dinner
with me tomorrow night?
- Yeah, tomorrow night'll be great.
(Jet engine rumbling)
(Soothing music)
(Whooshing)
(Bright music)
