(Plane propellers buzzing)
- Should be some magazines
and stuff back there,
if you feel like reading.
- No, I'm okay.
Do you enjoy doing this, being a pilot?
- Yeah I do.
- How long have you been flying for?
- Oh, hell.
- What?
- Almost 21 years.
- I know the feeling.
- Jeez, I never thought I'd
hear myself saying that.
- It's frightening, isn't it?
- Well, yeah, I mean, it
just kind of snuck up on me.
21 years as an adult that's terrifying.
- So where do you think you'll
be in another 21 years?
- I don't know, this I suppose.
What about you?
- Not what I'm doing now.
- Yeah, what's that?
- Sitting here talking your ear off.
(Chuckling)
- No, I mean what do you do?
- I make money.
- Oh, well if you'd like, how?
- 21 years.
(Plane humming)
- We'll be there in about 15
minutes if you want me to...
(Window blows out)
Hey!
(Tense music)
(Wind whipping)
(Anxious music)
(Wind screaming)
(Peaceful music)
(Propellers buzzing)
(Footsteps)
- Chris?
Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- It must have been awful
to see something like that.
I know you've had a
really dreadful shock
but you just, you can't
let it get to you.
(Paper rustling)
Chris.
(Paper folding)
- "Then after the 14th
something changed.
"All I could see was old
age and going downhill.
"20 years ago I thought
everything was exciting.
"Now everything's the same.
"I'm sorry Jilly for so many things.
"Start a new life and forget me.
"The pilot will give you this letter.
"Love, Paul."
(Paper rustling)
I could have written that.
(Thoughtful music)
(Door opening)
- Hi, what are you doing here?
- I just felt like a visit.
- Daddy!
- Chloe!
Where's Jack?
- He's staying at Rory's
house, Rory got new ball.
(Door closes)
- From 18,000 feet to (Splatting)
Can you imagine?
- They would have picked
him up in buckets.
- Fruitcake.
- No, Chris said he was okay,
said he was just normal.
- A normal fruitcake.
- Where you going?
- Oh, yeah.
(Propellers passing outside)
(Door opens)
(Heavenly music)
(Door closes)
(Tropical music)
(Waves crashing)
- What?
- There, like a bolt out
of the blue, whammo!
She's standing there, naked.
- Naked?
- Before me,
metaphorically, she's like, naked like,
- a Jay bird.
- Yeah, like a Jay bird
that's, like, naked,
with no feathers, metaphorically.
Like, she was like, (Lecherous breath).
- (Lecherous breath) Or
(Deep lecherous breath)?
- (Deep lecherous breath),
like she, oh, she looked good.
- [Lexie] Jimbo!
- So what are you gonna do?
- [Jimbo] A seduction. (Door closes)
- Oh yeah.
- No, I must or I'm out
the emergency exit.
- See ya.
- Hey.
(Footsteps)
- Beautiful day.
- Yeah.
- Beautiful woman.
- Who?
- I meant you.
(Laughing) - You've been
drinking, haven't you?
- No no, I just saw you and
thought you looked beautiful,
and thought I should tell you.
- Really?
- Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to...
- No no, that's okay.
- Oh, sorry.
(Plane landing in the distance)
Phase one begins.
- Phase one?
- Absolutely.
- How many phases are there?
- Four, there's four phases.
Seduction's not an art,
Scotty, it's a science.
You gotta plan it to the letter.
Think Hannibal, think
Napoleon, think Eisenhower.
- They were all invading Europe.
- Idiots, they should have been
spending their time on seduction.
(Chuckling)
- [Newsreader] Several
around the world solo races.
David took his place at the
helm of Anderson's cruises,
expanding the already successful
yacht building enterprise
into one with an
international reputation.
Even encouraging grandson
Paul to take an interest.
Maybe one day he'll
follow in his father's
and grandfather's footsteps, continuing
a family tradition (Door knocking)
Which has become the country's
biggest success stories
internationally, it is virtually
unknown in Australia.
(Door knocking)
(Footsteps)
(Door opening)
- Champagne and caviar.
I'm here to seduce you.
(Footsteps)
- How can you afford that?
- Hey, you're only young once.
(Giggling)
- [Paula] You wanna sit here?
- Sure.
(Rock music playing in background)
What?
- [Paula] Oh, it's jimbo.
- Who the hell's jimbo?
- Oh, just this guy from work.
Hey, I wonder what's wrong with him.
(Nut clinking)
(Kissing)
- You're a pushover.
(Crickets chirping)
- You didn't come over
here to seduce me.
- How come I succeeded
to spectacularly?
Came over to say don't
let that guy get to you.
Buy a sports car, a red one,
isn't that what men do?
Or have an affair,
take up rock climbing.
- The affair sounds good.
- Could have a perfect person.
(Kissing)
I'm serious.
- What about?
- Us.
What are we gonna do?
- We're doing it, aren't we?
- It's not enough Chris.
(Soft music)
(Soft rock music and low chatter)
- [Adrian] Hey come on, let's go.
- [Paula] I think something's
happened to him.
- He's okay, let's split.
- [Paula] He looks so unhappy.
- [Adrian] He looks like a dickhead.
- Oh shut up, he's a really nice guy.
- So if you work with him,
talk to him tomorrow,
let's go back to my place.
- Just hang on, okay?
I've never seen him like this before.
Jimbo, hey, is everything okay?
- Oh hi, Paula, I didn't see you there.
Yeah, just thought I'd
come in for a drink.
- You looked so lonely by yourself.
Can we join you?
- Sure.
- Adrian, I'll have
another cider and ice.
And do you want another beer?
- Oh, no, no I'm all right.
- Oh come on, Adrian'll get you one.
- Oh no, oh, all right.
I'll have a double Margarita.
- Double Margarita.
- Not too much salt, thanks.
- Is everything okay?
- Sabotage, remember it.
It's all about clearing
the field of battle.
- Okay.
- You gotta
get rid of the other guy.
Sometimes you know, you
just gotta be brutal.
- So what happened then?
- Well, the poor guy left
after about half an hour.
Still, I mean, he lasted
a bit longer than I thought he would.
(Laughing)
- Ah, I get it, so now you
make your move. - What?
- Make your - oh, of course not.
Now I move into phase two.
I've landed on the beachhead
and now I'm moving inland.
Why aren't you taking notes?
(Door opens)
(Door closes)
(Phone rings)
- You okay?
- Yeah, fine, why?
- Well, last night.
- Those arc reports
are on your desk too.
- You sure everything's okay?
- Hello, the auditor's here.
- Ah, great, thanks.
Excuse me.
- The auditor?
- Mmhmm.
- We were audited six months ago.
- [Shay] I know.
(Radio chatter)
(Footsteps)
- Hi.
- Oh, jimbo.
- What?
- You've got your shirt tucked in.
- Oh, yeah, just thought
you might like it.
You know, jimbo the slob.
- What've you done to your hair?
- Just, put some stuff in it, just.
- It looked better before,
you know, it looked like,
how I've gotten used to you.
There, that's jimbo.
Don't you think, Scotty?
- Absolutely.
- Leave it like that.
(Footsteps)
- That was the corniest thing
I think I have ever seen.
As if she's gonna go
for you just 'cuase
you've got your stupid shirt tucked in.
- Oh my boy my boy,
will you never learn?
- [Scotty] What?
- She was meant to do that,
it's phase two, okay?
When we're supposed to connect.
Rule one, women are easily flattered.
Rule two, they like
to change you a bit.
So, I do something dumb,
like tuck the shirt in.
- Mmm, sneaky.
- You better believe it.
So she tousles my little head
and tucks my shirt and (Snapping)
Lo and behold, she has her
very own scruffy old jimbo.
- What if she liked
the shirt tucked in.
- Well I don't mind being Mr.
nerdsville for a little while
but chances are, (Snapping)
It'll happen quick.
- And when does this phase two end?
- It just ended, baby.
(Sneaky music)
(Plane engines passing)
- What's wrong?
- Oh, I was just working out
how many times I've done this run.
Take off 0900 from runway 16 left.
Climb to 2,000 heading 095.
Turn 80 degrees left.
Climb to 5,000 and maintain
till 'madgee approach.
I could do it in me sleep.
- You were.
- You wanna take over?
- Sure.
(Propellors humming)
Hey, I know this place.
- I got it.
Well, lufie, let's see
what you're up to.
- Who's lufie?
- Watch this.
(Exciting techno music)
(Plane engines screaming)
- Chris you're too low,
take it, take it up.
- He won't know what's hit him.
- Chris!
(Plane engine roars)
- What's bloody hell going on!
- What the hell was that?
I thought you were
gonna buzz the place.
- I was, when she came out of nowhere.
- You idiot, there was practically
no margin on that at all!
- Get over it, we're
still alive, aren't we?
- What's wrong with you?
- You're a long time dead, Scotty.
(Snorting)
(Propellers humming away)
(Plane engines in distance)
- Lexie?
"Saw this and couldn't resist it,
thought you might like it love jimbo".
Aw, that's so sweet.
- Sweet. (Snorting)
Paula, this is jimbo.
You're not gonna fall
for this, are you?
He's probably got a bet on
with Scotty or something.
- So?
- That doesn't bother you?
- No, not particularly.
(Toy squeaks)
- Paula, I've known these
guys a lot longer than you.
Believe me, jimbo will be
through that door any second,
oh, he'll accidentally
on purpose, stumble in
to follow through.
- Yeah I know, it's okay.
- Well, you wait.
(Door opens)
- Oh, ah, you found it.
- Surprise.
- Do you like him?
I'm gonna get me mum one.
- Oh, that's so sweet, I'm
gonna call him jimbo.
- I'm gonna vomit.
(Keyboard clicking)
(Mysterious music)
(Gentle rain falling)
(Phone rings)
- Hello, Lauren Allen speaking.
(Loud chattering and laughing)
(Pop music)
- You here all by yourself?
- What's it look like?
- Come on over with the boys.
(Hand slapping and yelling)
- No.
- Hey come on, they wanna meet ya.
Come on.
(Loud chattering)
- Do it, come on!
- Come on Mac, don't let
the old man beat ya!
- What do you mean old man?
- Come on!
(Excited chattering)
(Loud groaning and laughing)
- [Scotty] What'd I tell ya?
- Okay old man, let's see how
you go against the champ.
- Just for that.
(Intense music)
(Excited buzzing and shouting)
(Heavy drums)
(Hand slapping table)
- Yeah, yeah!
(Whooping and hollering)
- [Jigger] Here champ!
- [Crowd of guys] Hey, attaboy!
(Soft music)
(Gentle rain falling)
(Case snaps)
- Thanks, I'll see you in the morning.
- How's it looking?
- I think you've got a deal.
(Sad music)
(Phone rings)
(Birds chirping)
- [Answering machine] Hey,
you've reached Chris manning.
I can't talk to you right
now but leave a message
and I'll get back to you
as soon as I can, bye now.
(Machine beeps)
(Phone slamming down)
(Door closing)
- Jimbo, I thought
Lexie was doing this.
- Oh, no, Shay stuffed up
with the schedules again.
(Chuckling)
- Ah. (Giggling)
(Plane engines passing)
Nah, I was stuck up the
tree for two hours
and mum had to get the
fire brigade in the end.
- I'd say you weren't
one of those sort of
frilly dress type wearing girls.
- Yeah I was, had a frilly dress
on up the tree. (Giggling)
- Oh, so you're a bloke, really.
- Oh you think so?
- No. (Laughing)
- No, I wouldn't like to be a bloke.
- I wouldn't like you
to be a bloke either.
- And you'd be a terrible girl.
- You're a perfect girl.
- Jimbo!
- I'm serious.
(Propellers humming)
(Door opens)
- Ooh, what happened to you?
You look like you got
the flu or something.
- Mid day.
- Oh, yeah, sorry.
Who did the run to julong?
- Lexie.
- Drugs, I'll get you more drugs.
- Scotty told me about last night.
Sounds like you were a hit
with the little boys.
Get over it Chris, you're making
yourself look ridiculous.
- Hey, get off my case.
- Well you might as well go home
'cause you couldn't have
flown this morning anyway.
(Door slams)
(Distant propellers)
(Footsteps)
(Radio chatter)
- Hey, you should cancel.
I didn't even think
you'd make it in today.
- Yeah, I have, I've
canceled everything.
- Smart move.
You would've got yourself
in trouble, he's an expert.
- Who?
- Keiren.
- What are you talking about?
- You don't remember.
You don't remember the
fight or anything.
You and keiren had a go at each other
after you beat him in the arm wrestle.
- Ah, yeah, that, yeah, he
was up himself, that bloke.
- And what about the bet?
You don't remember.
I told you not to!
You can't go through with
it Chris, it's stupid!
- Tell me again.
- You bet him 100 bucks
that you could outdo him
in aerobatics in a pit s2s.
- I've never even been in a pit s2s.
- I know, that's why you can't do it,
the guy's an expert,
mate, he's a champion.
You can't go through with it.
- Hey, Scotty.
Well, look who's down for the count.
You look like my mother
on a Sunday morning.
- Well, you're ready
to go little fella?
- Where?
- Well we got a bet on don't we?
- You remember?
Gee, I thought you'd forgotten.
I thought you were too far gone
but it's okay old mate.
Take a seat, I don't need
your money, you're all right.
- You backing out?
Give me the hundred.
- Okay, but we gotta see
how fit you are first.
(Feet running)
(Beeping)
- [Keiren] That's not bad, considering.
- Considering what?
- You got the cardiovascular
health of a 35 year old.
- What, that's terrible.
- I thought you were 39.
- Yeah, I am.
(Beeping)
- At least we know your
ticker's not gonna collapse
under six gs of pressure.
(Beeping)
You sure you wanna go ahead with this.
(Intense orchestral music)
(Propellers buzzing)
(Laughing)
- He's the king!
Mate, you might as well
hand over your hundee now.
(Plane engines whirring)
Thinking you could do that?
(Plane engine revving)
- [Chris] Yeah!
- You know Scotty, he might
be a stubborn bastard,
but he's not a bad pilot.
- He's the best you've ever seen.
- No he's not.
(Engine sputtering)
- Whoa, if this is the
hammerhead turn, he's too low,
he's not gonna pull out in time!
(Engine growling)
- Whoa, what does he think he's doing?
That guys crazy.
(Plane engine slowing)
(Calm music)
- What was that hammerhead turn for,
you coulda killed yourself.
- Ah, I thought I'd give one a go.
- From that low?
You idiot, you should have
given yourself some more sky.
- Eh, where's the fun in that?
- The fun in that old man is
that you get to stay alive.
- I heard you do 'em from 600 feet.
- I've been doing it a long time.
I've got an official waver.
- Let's make that the bet.
A hammerhead from 600.
- [Keiren] No way!
- [Chris] You backing out?
- Listen, I'll do one from 600 okay?
Because I know I can.
But I'm telling you you can't.
You've only flown the plane once.
- Are we gonna arm wrestle
or are we gonna have a little bet?
- Chris.
- Listen, you do a hammerhead
turn from 600 feet
I'll give you 200 bucks.
- I'll take it.
- No you won't, your widow
might, but you won't.
(Quick footsteps)
- Damn!
Sorry, I didn't see you there.
(Coffee pouring)
- I've hit a bit of a snag, Scotty.
- What happened?
- I'm in love with her.
- Yeah, I know.
You said that, it's what
started this whole thing off.
- No, no, no, not like that.
- You don't mean.
- Yeah, it's true, I can't
get her out of my mind.
- Are you crazy?
Jimbo, this is Paula, she's
practically your sister!
- Yeah, I know.
- What happened to
seduction, phase four?
- It's tonight.
I'm taking her to conifer island.
(Sighing) I don't know if
I can go through with it.
(Plane engine passing)
(Magical music)
(Waves breaking)
- Ah, it's beautiful, isn't it?
- Yeah.
Hang on a sec.
What's this?
(Gasping)
(Giggling)
I wonder who's it could be.
I wonder if, (Gasping)
- Oh jimbo.
(Waes pounding)
- There's nothing more romantic
than something like this.
- There's a lot of mozzies, though.
- Mmm.
(Tender music)
Makes you just want to take
all your clothes off and dive in.
- I wouldn't, it's like a
feeding frenzy out there
this time a day, the sharks.
- This is lovely.
- Oh, it's only, you know,
ten bucks a bottle,
I've had better. (Gulping)
- So it's a done deal.
- Well, not fully.
I've kind of been putting off signing.
- Why?
- I just want to think
about it for a bit.
- You tell Chris yet?
- I don't quite know how to.
He and I never would have worked out.
I just should have seen it earlier.
I don't know why I tried so hard.
- Well, you confused him too.
- I just wish that we could talk.
I don't know, did we
ever really connect?
- You're talking in the
past tense already.
- I think I was in love with him.
- Don't tell me, tell him.
(Chair sliding)
(Phone rings)
- [Chris on phone] Hello?
- Chris, I was just about to
hang up, how are you feeling?
- [Chris on phone] Oh, much better.
- Are you doing anything tonight?
- I thought you hated me.
- [Lauren on phone] Do you
want to come over for dinner?
- You gonna seduce me again?
- No, I wanna talk.
- [Chris on phone] What about?
- Us.
- Well that sounds interesting.
- Do you wanna come or not?
- Yeah yeah, I'll be
there, you know I will.
- Okay.
(Phone hangs up)
(Dial tone)
(Soft chatter)
(Soft music)
- How you doin', Scotty?
- Can I see you for a second, keiren?
- What for?
What's this?
- Just take it.
- What is it, what's it for?
- It's the money from the bet.
You've won the bet okay, you win.
Tomorrow you gotta call it off.
- [Keiren] The bloody old piker!
Hasn't even got the guts
to call it off himself.
- Look, he doesn't know
about it, I'm doing this.
When you get there
tomorrow you tell him
you're not gonna do it, all right?
- So he needs you to
mother him, does he?
I don't want your money, Scotty.
- Well call it off anyway keiren.
Let him off the hook.
- And why should I do that, huh?
- You're being a dick, you know.
You keep going at him and he responds.
- So?
If he wants to be a dickhead
that's his problem, isn't it?
- You're a bastard, you really
are up yourself, aren't you?
- Hey!
- Hey!
(Hard thumps)
- Settle down!
- He's soft, Scotty!
I hope he wipes himself out
in that plane tomorrow!
What do I care?
(Crickets chirping)
(Loud door knocking)
(Door opens)
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Can we talk?
- Yeah, of course.
(Door closes)
- He is such a pig.
You know, Brendan's thinking
of resigning because of him.
How can you say something like that?
- I thought you got on well with him.
- Yeah, I do.
I do generally and then
he just turns on you.
God! - My mate,
you don't need a job.
- Yeah I know.
Ah, it's not that bad, it's me.
It's me, I just get
upset, that's all it is.
- Yeah.
(Sighing)
Robbie. - Look, I'm sorry.
I just needed to be with you.
- That's all right, I'm just
gonna make a phone call.
- Can you make it later?
I need you sometimes, you know that.
Oh, so nice.
You don't think we're
always gonna be like this.
We'll be 60 and we'll
still be separated
and you'll still be the most
important person in my life.
Thank you.
(Soft music)
(Footsteps)
(Wine pouring)
(Bottle hitting table)
(Exasperated sighing)
- Simon, yeah, look, I'm
sorry to call so late.
But I've made up my mind.
Yeah, I'll go ahead and do it,
I'll come in and sign
first thing tomorrow.
No, I'm fine.
Yeah, bye.
(Phone clicks)
(Sad music)
(Birds chirping)
- Okay, grandad, today's your big day.
You're gonna lose the best,
look like a dickhead
and probably lose your life too.
- Let's do it.
(Plane buzzing)
(Engine revving)
- Hi.
- Hey, Robbie.
- Is Chris in?
- No, he's actually out on an
unscheduled run with Scotty.
- Is it worth me waiting?
- You may as well, he
said he'd be back soon
unless something goes wrong.
- [Robbie] What's that
supposed to mean?
- [Shay] Oh you know Chris.
- Hi Robbie.
- Lauren, hi.
(Plane propellers whirring)
(Dramatic music)
- Chris I'm telling you, come on.
Look, he's been at it full time,
he got a second in the
nationals last year.
- Yeah, I know that, Scotty.
- Swallow your pride, would you?
The guy's better than
you are, who cares?
- I do.
(Plane engines sputtering)
(Engines revving)
- Whoa!
Mate, he is the king. (Chuckling)
(Engine passing overhead)
- [Robbie] So what are you going to do?
- Well, first, I'm gonna sit
and think and ponder my navel.
And then I'm gonna buy
a ticket to Paris.
- Take me with you.
- I'm gonna spend the
first few days shopping
at galeries Lafayette
and I won't remember
first three, four.
- You deserve it Lauren.
Have you told Chris?
- That's all over.
- Too close, kazza.
- You better believe it.
You're not gonna make it old man.
- Yeah, didn't look too hard to me,
I think I got it worked out.
- Jesus!
- Let's try 500.
Chris, if you reckon I'm goin',
might as well go in style.
What do you reckon?
- Listen, I'm telling you,
you're not gonna make it.
600 all right, just do what I did.
- 500.
(Intense music)
(Plane engine revving)
- It's funny, I can't
imagine life without him.
- Yeah, I'm gonna miss him.
(Menacing music)
(Propellers whining)
- No, I can't watch.
- Look after him.
- We'll see you again.
- Yeah.
Bye.
(Plane engine humming)
(Anxious music)
- Here we go.
(Plane engine revving)
(Dramatic music)
(Intense music)
- What's he doing?
(Strained music)
(Toy clattering)
(Engines whining)
- He's pulling out,
he's not gonna do it!
Ah, yes, you beauty!
(Triumphant music)
(Engines whirring)
(Footsteps)
- Piker.
(Laughing)
- Beautiful, you should
have seen their faces.
- He was right, I piked.
- I know, it was great.
- [Robbie] You could
have killed yourself.
- Yeah, I nearly did.
Robbie, it's been kind of weird lately.
Lauren and me being on and off and on.
- You think I haven't noticed?
- Yeah but I think I got it all wrong.
I think I've missed what's been
right there in front of me.
- Chris, I...
- Wait, wait, Robbie.
I'm really sorry about this,
I don't wanna hurt you.
Just lately worse it's
been just like old times.
- But what?
- But it's Lauren.
Robbie, I realize
how I feel about her and...
- You don't get it, do you?
She's leaving.
She sold big sky.
(Sad music)
- I didn't pike, I just
didn't go through with it.
- You piked!
- You piked!
- I mean, what could I do,
she was just sitting there
all beautiful and happy, smiling.
I couldn't just take advantage.
- As if she didn't know
what you were up to.
- What if I'd lunged at her?
What if?
(Snorting)
I'd never forgive myself.
- Jimbo, if you'd lunge at
her she would've clicked you
upside of the head, you
have no idea about women.
- So what'd you do?
- Fell on my sword.
I drank both bottles.
(Laughing)
- Sleep well?
- Like a little Teddy bear, apparently.
- Well there's Scotty's
trip to condobolin,
he's taking butterfly pupae
out to this wedding.
- What's that?
- They're all these little
grubs in boxes, right?
- Yeah.
- They take them out to
reception and they warm them up
and these butterflies
hatch out everywhere.
- Oh wow, oh that is so cool.
- I know, isn't it, it's fantastic.
- Okay, Scotty can do my trip to coffs
and I'll do that one with jimbo.
- [Shay] What's happening
with you and jimbo?
- If I leave it up to him, nothing.
(Giggling)
- Oh really, you better be careful.
- Don't worry, just once.
(Door closing)
- Scotty, you tub of lard, let's go!
Paula!
(Magical music)
- You can't.
- I am.
I nearly didn't but my mind's made up.
- What am I gonna do without you?
- Oh what am I gonna do without you?
Now I'm gonna cry.
(Sniffing)
- God, things aren't gonna be the same.
When are you gonna tell everyone?
- Later, I don't know.
(Door opens)
(Distant plane engines revving)
- And when were you gonna tell me?
- Well I was going to
but you were too busy
running around being a boy.
- Oh yeah?
- Chris,
it's too late.
(Plane propellers nearing)
(Wheels thudding)
(Engines winding down)
- Hey, come and help
me unload this stuff.
- Sure.
What is all this stuff?
- Pupae boxes.
- Pupae boxes?
- Hey, leave it.
- Hmm?
- Come here.
(Tender music)
(Birds calling)
(Wings fluttering)
- How did you do that?
(Insects chirping)
- It wasn't like that,
it was a massive offer,
I couldn't say no.
Everything just came together.
- For you.
- For me, maybe, I don't know.
- Yeah, well, I'm out of here.
- [Lauren] Why?
- Because I've changed.
Since you arrived, I think.
I've been shift pilot for 12
years, I've gotta move on.
- I was hoping you'd say that.
You're the new general manager.
I made it a condition of the deal.
If they wanted big sky, they
got Chris manning running it.
(Distant plane engines)
- So I run the whole show?
- Yep, you're a general now, chief.
- Well, get off my desk.
- (Laughing) Oh, I
wouldn't get too cocky.
If this place isn't running
like a Swiss watch
in six month's time,
you're out on your ear.
(Soft music)
- Thanks.
- No, thank you.
- It was quite sudden.
- Yes, it was.
- Do you think we ever
would have made it?
- We'll never know, will we?
(Romantic music)
(Kissing)
Goodbye, Chris.
I loved you.
(Bittersweet music)
(Crickets chirping)
(Plane engines in the distance)
(Heavenly music)
(Electronic music tingling)
- Should be some magazines
and stuff back there,
if you feel like reading.
- No, I'm okay.
Do you enjoy doing this, being a pilot?
- Yeah I do.
- How long have you been flying for?
- Oh, hell.
- What?
- Almost 21 years.
- I know the feeling.
- Jeez, I never thought I'd
hear myself saying that.
- It's frightening, isn't it?
- Well, yeah, I mean, it
just kind of snuck up on me.
21 years as an adult that's terrifying.
- So where do you think you'll
be in another 21 years?
- I don't know, this I suppose.
What about you?
- Not what I'm doing now.
- Yeah, what's that?
- Sitting here talking your ear off.
(Chuckling)
- No, I mean what do you do?
- I make money.
- Oh, well if you'd like, how?
- 21 years.
(Plane humming)
- We'll be there in about 15
minutes if you want me to...
(Window blows out)
Hey!
(Tense music)
(Wind whipping)
(Anxious music)
(Wind screaming)
(Peaceful music)
(Propellers buzzing)
(Footsteps)
- Chris?
Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- It must have been awful
to see something like that.
I know you've had a
really dreadful shock
but you just, you can't
let it get to you.
(Paper rustling)
Chris.
(Paper folding)
- "Then after the 14th
something changed.
"All I could see was old
age and going downhill.
"20 years ago I thought
everything was exciting.
"Now everything's the same.
"I'm sorry Jilly for so many things.
"Start a new life and forget me.
"The pilot will give you this letter.
"Love, Paul."
(Paper rustling)
I could have written that.
(Thoughtful music)
(Door opening)
- Hi, what are you doing here?
- I just felt like a visit.
- Daddy!
- Chloe!
Where's Jack?
- He's staying at Rory's
house, Rory got new ball.
(Door closes)
- From 18,000 feet to (Splatting)
Can you imagine?
- They would have picked
him up in buckets.
- Fruitcake.
- No, Chris said he was okay,
said he was just normal.
- A normal fruitcake.
- Where you going?
- Oh, yeah.
(Propellers passing outside)
(Door opens)
(Heavenly music)
(Door closes)
(Tropical music)
(Waves crashing)
- What?
- There, like a bolt out
of the blue, whammo!
She's standing there, naked.
- Naked?
- Before me,
metaphorically, she's like, naked like,
- a Jay bird.
- Yeah, like a Jay bird
that's, like, naked,
with no feathers, metaphorically.
Like, she was like, (Lecherous breath).
- (Lecherous breath) Or
(Deep lecherous breath)?
- (Deep lecherous breath),
like she, oh, she looked good.
- [Lexie] Jimbo!
- So what are you gonna do?
- [Jimbo] A seduction. (Door closes)
- Oh yeah.
- No, I must or I'm out
the emergency exit.
- See ya.
- Hey.
(Footsteps)
- Beautiful day.
- Yeah.
- Beautiful woman.
- Who?
- I meant you.
(Laughing) - You've been
drinking, haven't you?
- No no, I just saw you and
thought you looked beautiful,
and thought I should tell you.
- Really?
- Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to...
- No no, that's okay.
- Oh, sorry.
(Plane landing in the distance)
Phase one begins.
- Phase one?
- Absolutely.
- How many phases are there?
- Four, there's four phases.
Seduction's not an art,
Scotty, it's a science.
You gotta plan it to the letter.
Think Hannibal, think
Napoleon, think Eisenhower.
- They were all invading Europe.
- Idiots, they should have been
spending their time on seduction.
(Chuckling)
- [Newsreader] Several
around the world solo races.
David took his place at the
helm of Anderson's cruises,
expanding the already successful
yacht building enterprise
into one with an
international reputation.
Even encouraging grandson
Paul to take an interest.
Maybe one day he'll
follow in his father's
and grandfather's footsteps, continuing
a family tradition (Door knocking)
Which has become the country's
biggest success stories
internationally, it is virtually
unknown in Australia.
(Door knocking)
(Footsteps)
(Door opening)
- Champagne and caviar.
I'm here to seduce you.
(Footsteps)
- How can you afford that?
- Hey, you're only young once.
(Giggling)
- [Paula] You wanna sit here?
- Sure.
(Rock music playing in background)
What?
- [Paula] Oh, it's jimbo.
- Who the hell's jimbo?
- Oh, just this guy from work.
Hey, I wonder what's wrong with him.
(Nut clinking)
(Kissing)
- You're a pushover.
(Crickets chirping)
- You didn't come over
here to seduce me.
- How come I succeeded
to spectacularly?
Came over to say don't
let that guy get to you.
Buy a sports car, a red one,
isn't that what men do?
Or have an affair,
take up rock climbing.
- The affair sounds good.
- Could have a perfect person.
(Kissing)
I'm serious.
- What about?
- Us.
What are we gonna do?
- We're doing it, aren't we?
- It's not enough Chris.
(Soft music)
(Soft rock music and low chatter)
- [Adrian] Hey come on, let's go.
- [Paula] I think something's
happened to him.
- He's okay, let's split.
- [Paula] He looks so unhappy.
- [Adrian] He looks like a dickhead.
- Oh shut up, he's a really nice guy.
- So if you work with him,
talk to him tomorrow,
let's go back to my place.
- Just hang on, okay?
I've never seen him like this before.
Jimbo, hey, is everything okay?
- Oh hi, Paula, I didn't see you there.
Yeah, just thought I'd
come in for a drink.
- You looked so lonely by yourself.
Can we join you?
- Sure.
- Adrian, I'll have
another cider and ice.
And do you want another beer?
- Oh, no, no I'm all right.
- Oh come on, Adrian'll get you one.
- Oh no, oh, all right.
I'll have a double Margarita.
- Double Margarita.
- Not too much salt, thanks.
- Is everything okay?
- Sabotage, remember it.
It's all about clearing
the field of battle.
- Okay.
- You gotta
get rid of the other guy.
Sometimes you know, you
just gotta be brutal.
- So what happened then?
- Well, the poor guy left
after about half an hour.
Still, I mean, he lasted
a bit longer than I thought he would.
(Laughing)
- Ah, I get it, so now you
make your move. - What?
- Make your - oh, of course not.
Now I move into phase two.
I've landed on the beachhead
and now I'm moving inland.
Why aren't you taking notes?
(Door opens)
(Door closes)
(Phone rings)
- You okay?
- Yeah, fine, why?
- Well, last night.
- Those arc reports
are on your desk too.
- You sure everything's okay?
- Hello, the auditor's here.
- Ah, great, thanks.
Excuse me.
- The auditor?
- Mmhmm.
- We were audited six months ago.
- [Shay] I know.
(Radio chatter)
(Footsteps)
- Hi.
- Oh, jimbo.
- What?
- You've got your shirt tucked in.
- Oh, yeah, just thought
you might like it.
You know, jimbo the slob.
- What've you done to your hair?
- Just, put some stuff in it, just.
- It looked better before,
you know, it looked like,
how I've gotten used to you.
There, that's jimbo.
Don't you think, Scotty?
- Absolutely.
- Leave it like that.
(Footsteps)
- That was the corniest thing
I think I have ever seen.
As if she's gonna go
for you just 'cuase
you've got your stupid shirt tucked in.
- Oh my boy my boy,
will you never learn?
- [Scotty] What?
- She was meant to do that,
it's phase two, okay?
When we're supposed to connect.
Rule one, women are easily flattered.
Rule two, they like
to change you a bit.
So, I do something dumb,
like tuck the shirt in.
- Mmm, sneaky.
- You better believe it.
So she tousles my little head
and tucks my shirt and (Snapping)
Lo and behold, she has her
very own scruffy old jimbo.
- What if she liked
the shirt tucked in.
- Well I don't mind being Mr.
nerdsville for a little while
but chances are, (Snapping)
It'll happen quick.
- And when does this phase two end?
- It just ended, baby.
(Sneaky music)
(Plane engines passing)
- What's wrong?
- Oh, I was just working out
how many times I've done this run.
Take off 0900 from runway 16 left.
Climb to 2,000 heading 095.
Turn 80 degrees left.
Climb to 5,000 and maintain
till 'madgee approach.
I could do it in me sleep.
- You were.
- You wanna take over?
- Sure.
(Propellors humming)
Hey, I know this place.
- I got it.
Well, lufie, let's see
what you're up to.
- Who's lufie?
- Watch this.
(Exciting techno music)
(Plane engines screaming)
- Chris you're too low,
take it, take it up.
- He won't know what's hit him.
- Chris!
(Plane engine roars)
- What's bloody hell going on!
- What the hell was that?
I thought you were
gonna buzz the place.
- I was, when she came out of nowhere.
- You idiot, there was practically
no margin on that at all!
- Get over it, we're
still alive, aren't we?
- What's wrong with you?
- You're a long time dead, Scotty.
(Snorting)
(Propellers humming away)
(Plane engines in distance)
- Lexie?
"Saw this and couldn't resist it,
thought you might like it love jimbo".
Aw, that's so sweet.
- Sweet. (Snorting)
Paula, this is jimbo.
You're not gonna fall
for this, are you?
He's probably got a bet on
with Scotty or something.
- So?
- That doesn't bother you?
- No, not particularly.
(Toy squeaks)
- Paula, I've known these
guys a lot longer than you.
Believe me, jimbo will be
through that door any second,
oh, he'll accidentally
on purpose, stumble in
to follow through.
- Yeah I know, it's okay.
- Well, you wait.
(Door opens)
- Oh, ah, you found it.
- Surprise.
- Do you like him?
I'm gonna get me mum one.
- Oh, that's so sweet, I'm
gonna call him jimbo.
- I'm gonna vomit.
(Keyboard clicking)
(Mysterious music)
(Gentle rain falling)
(Phone rings)
- Hello, Lauren Allen speaking.
(Loud chattering and laughing)
(Pop music)
- You here all by yourself?
- What's it look like?
- Come on over with the boys.
(Hand slapping and yelling)
- No.
- Hey come on, they wanna meet ya.
Come on.
(Loud chattering)
- Do it, come on!
- Come on Mac, don't let
the old man beat ya!
- What do you mean old man?
- Come on!
(Excited chattering)
(Loud groaning and laughing)
- [Scotty] What'd I tell ya?
- Okay old man, let's see how
you go against the champ.
- Just for that.
(Intense music)
(Excited buzzing and shouting)
(Heavy drums)
(Hand slapping table)
- Yeah, yeah!
(Whooping and hollering)
- [Jigger] Here champ!
- [Crowd of guys] Hey, attaboy!
(Soft music)
(Gentle rain falling)
(Case snaps)
- Thanks, I'll see you in the morning.
- How's it looking?
- I think you've got a deal.
(Sad music)
(Phone rings)
(Birds chirping)
- [Answering machine] Hey,
you've reached Chris manning.
I can't talk to you right
now but leave a message
and I'll get back to you
as soon as I can, bye now.
(Machine beeps)
(Phone slamming down)
(Door closing)
- Jimbo, I thought
Lexie was doing this.
- Oh, no, Shay stuffed up
with the schedules again.
(Chuckling)
- Ah. (Giggling)
(Plane engines passing)
Nah, I was stuck up the
tree for two hours
and mum had to get the
fire brigade in the end.
- I'd say you weren't
one of those sort of
frilly dress type wearing girls.
- Yeah I was, had a frilly dress
on up the tree. (Giggling)
- Oh, so you're a bloke, really.
- Oh you think so?
- No. (Laughing)
- No, I wouldn't like to be a bloke.
- I wouldn't like you
to be a bloke either.
- And you'd be a terrible girl.
- You're a perfect girl.
- Jimbo!
- I'm serious.
(Propellers humming)
(Door opens)
- Ooh, what happened to you?
You look like you got
the flu or something.
- Mid day.
- Oh, yeah, sorry.
Who did the run to julong?
- Lexie.
- Drugs, I'll get you more drugs.
- Scotty told me about last night.
Sounds like you were a hit
with the little boys.
Get over it Chris, you're making
yourself look ridiculous.
- Hey, get off my case.
- Well you might as well go home
'cause you couldn't have
flown this morning anyway.
(Door slams)
(Distant propellers)
(Footsteps)
(Radio chatter)
- Hey, you should cancel.
I didn't even think
you'd make it in today.
- Yeah, I have, I've
canceled everything.
- Smart move.
You would've got yourself
in trouble, he's an expert.
- Who?
- Keiren.
- What are you talking about?
- You don't remember.
You don't remember the
fight or anything.
You and keiren had a go at each other
after you beat him in the arm wrestle.
- Ah, yeah, that, yeah, he
was up himself, that bloke.
- And what about the bet?
You don't remember.
I told you not to!
You can't go through with
it Chris, it's stupid!
- Tell me again.
- You bet him 100 bucks
that you could outdo him
in aerobatics in a pit s2s.
- I've never even been in a pit s2s.
- I know, that's why you can't do it,
the guy's an expert,
mate, he's a champion.
You can't go through with it.
- Hey, Scotty.
Well, look who's down for the count.
You look like my mother
on a Sunday morning.
- Well, you're ready
to go little fella?
- Where?
- Well we got a bet on don't we?
- You remember?
Gee, I thought you'd forgotten.
I thought you were too far gone
but it's okay old mate.
Take a seat, I don't need
your money, you're all right.
- You backing out?
Give me the hundred.
- Okay, but we gotta see
how fit you are first.
(Feet running)
(Beeping)
- [Keiren] That's not bad, considering.
- Considering what?
- You got the cardiovascular
health of a 35 year old.
- What, that's terrible.
- I thought you were 39.
- Yeah, I am.
(Beeping)
- At least we know your
ticker's not gonna collapse
under six gs of pressure.
(Beeping)
You sure you wanna go ahead with this.
(Intense orchestral music)
(Propellers buzzing)
(Laughing)
- He's the king!
Mate, you might as well
hand over your hundee now.
(Plane engines whirring)
Thinking you could do that?
(Plane engine revving)
- [Chris] Yeah!
- You know Scotty, he might
be a stubborn bastard,
but he's not a bad pilot.
- He's the best you've ever seen.
- No he's not.
(Engine sputtering)
- Whoa, if this is the
hammerhead turn, he's too low,
he's not gonna pull out in time!
(Engine growling)
- Whoa, what does he think he's doing?
That guys crazy.
(Plane engine slowing)
(Calm music)
- What was that hammerhead turn for,
you coulda killed yourself.
- Ah, I thought I'd give one a go.
- From that low?
You idiot, you should have
given yourself some more sky.
- Eh, where's the fun in that?
- The fun in that old man is
that you get to stay alive.
- I heard you do 'em from 600 feet.
- I've been doing it a long time.
I've got an official waver.
- Let's make that the bet.
A hammerhead from 600.
- [Keiren] No way!
- [Chris] You backing out?
- Listen, I'll do one from 600 okay?
Because I know I can.
But I'm telling you you can't.
You've only flown the plane once.
- Are we gonna arm wrestle
or are we gonna have a little bet?
- Chris.
- Listen, you do a hammerhead
turn from 600 feet
I'll give you 200 bucks.
- I'll take it.
- No you won't, your widow
might, but you won't.
(Quick footsteps)
- Damn!
Sorry, I didn't see you there.
(Coffee pouring)
- I've hit a bit of a snag, Scotty.
- What happened?
- I'm in love with her.
- Yeah, I know.
You said that, it's what
started this whole thing off.
- No, no, no, not like that.
- You don't mean.
- Yeah, it's true, I can't
get her out of my mind.
- Are you crazy?
Jimbo, this is Paula, she's
practically your sister!
- Yeah, I know.
- What happened to
seduction, phase four?
- It's tonight.
I'm taking her to conifer island.
(Sighing) I don't know if
I can go through with it.
(Plane engine passing)
(Magical music)
(Waves breaking)
- Ah, it's beautiful, isn't it?
- Yeah.
Hang on a sec.
What's this?
(Gasping)
(Giggling)
I wonder who's it could be.
I wonder if, (Gasping)
- Oh jimbo.
(Waes pounding)
- There's nothing more romantic
than something like this.
- There's a lot of mozzies, though.
- Mmm.
(Tender music)
Makes you just want to take
all your clothes off and dive in.
- I wouldn't, it's like a
feeding frenzy out there
this time a day, the sharks.
- This is lovely.
- Oh, it's only, you know,
ten bucks a bottle,
I've had better. (Gulping)
- So it's a done deal.
- Well, not fully.
I've kind of been putting off signing.
- Why?
- I just want to think
about it for a bit.
- You tell Chris yet?
- I don't quite know how to.
He and I never would have worked out.
I just should have seen it earlier.
I don't know why I tried so hard.
- Well, you confused him too.
- I just wish that we could talk.
I don't know, did we
ever really connect?
- You're talking in the
past tense already.
- I think I was in love with him.
- Don't tell me, tell him.
(Chair sliding)
(Phone rings)
- [Chris on phone] Hello?
- Chris, I was just about to
hang up, how are you feeling?
- [Chris on phone] Oh, much better.
- Are you doing anything tonight?
- I thought you hated me.
- [Lauren on phone] Do you
want to come over for dinner?
- You gonna seduce me again?
- No, I wanna talk.
- [Chris on phone] What about?
- Us.
- Well that sounds interesting.
- Do you wanna come or not?
- Yeah yeah, I'll be
there, you know I will.
- Okay.
(Phone hangs up)
(Dial tone)
(Soft chatter)
(Soft music)
- How you doin', Scotty?
- Can I see you for a second, keiren?
- What for?
What's this?
- Just take it.
- What is it, what's it for?
- It's the money from the bet.
You've won the bet okay, you win.
Tomorrow you gotta call it off.
- [Keiren] The bloody old piker!
Hasn't even got the guts
to call it off himself.
- Look, he doesn't know
about it, I'm doing this.
When you get there
tomorrow you tell him
you're not gonna do it, all right?
- So he needs you to
mother him, does he?
I don't want your money, Scotty.
- Well call it off anyway keiren.
Let him off the hook.
- And why should I do that, huh?
- You're being a dick, you know.
You keep going at him and he responds.
- So?
If he wants to be a dickhead
that's his problem, isn't it?
- You're a bastard, you really
are up yourself, aren't you?
- Hey!
- Hey!
(Hard thumps)
- Settle down!
- He's soft, Scotty!
I hope he wipes himself out
in that plane tomorrow!
What do I care?
(Crickets chirping)
(Loud door knocking)
(Door opens)
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Can we talk?
- Yeah, of course.
(Door closes)
- He is such a pig.
You know, Brendan's thinking
of resigning because of him.
How can you say something like that?
- I thought you got on well with him.
- Yeah, I do.
I do generally and then
he just turns on you.
God! - My mate,
you don't need a job.
- Yeah I know.
Ah, it's not that bad, it's me.
It's me, I just get
upset, that's all it is.
- Yeah.
(Sighing)
Robbie. - Look, I'm sorry.
I just needed to be with you.
- That's all right, I'm just
gonna make a phone call.
- Can you make it later?
I need you sometimes, you know that.
Oh, so nice.
You don't think we're
always gonna be like this.
We'll be 60 and we'll
still be separated
and you'll still be the most
important person in my life.
Thank you.
(Soft music)
(Footsteps)
(Wine pouring)
(Bottle hitting table)
(Exasperated sighing)
- Simon, yeah, look, I'm
sorry to call so late.
But I've made up my mind.
Yeah, I'll go ahead and do it,
I'll come in and sign
first thing tomorrow.
No, I'm fine.
Yeah, bye.
(Phone clicks)
(Sad music)
(Birds chirping)
- Okay, grandad, today's your big day.
You're gonna lose the best,
look like a dickhead
and probably lose your life too.
- Let's do it.
(Plane buzzing)
(Engine revving)
- Hi.
- Hey, Robbie.
- Is Chris in?
- No, he's actually out on an
unscheduled run with Scotty.
- Is it worth me waiting?
- You may as well, he
said he'd be back soon
unless something goes wrong.
- [Robbie] What's that
supposed to mean?
- [Shay] Oh you know Chris.
- Hi Robbie.
- Lauren, hi.
(Plane propellers whirring)
(Dramatic music)
- Chris I'm telling you, come on.
Look, he's been at it full time,
he got a second in the
nationals last year.
- Yeah, I know that, Scotty.
- Swallow your pride, would you?
The guy's better than
you are, who cares?
- I do.
(Plane engines sputtering)
(Engines revving)
- Whoa!
Mate, he is the king. (Chuckling)
(Engine passing overhead)
- [Robbie] So what are you going to do?
- Well, first, I'm gonna sit
and think and ponder my navel.
And then I'm gonna buy
a ticket to Paris.
- Take me with you.
- I'm gonna spend the
first few days shopping
at galeries Lafayette
and I won't remember
first three, four.
- You deserve it Lauren.
Have you told Chris?
- That's all over.
- Too close, kazza.
- You better believe it.
You're not gonna make it old man.
- Yeah, didn't look too hard to me,
I think I got it worked out.
- Jesus!
- Let's try 500.
Chris, if you reckon I'm goin',
might as well go in style.
What do you reckon?
- Listen, I'm telling you,
you're not gonna make it.
600 all right, just do what I did.
- 500.
(Intense music)
(Plane engine revving)
- It's funny, I can't
imagine life without him.
- Yeah, I'm gonna miss him.
(Menacing music)
(Propellers whining)
- No, I can't watch.
- Look after him.
- We'll see you again.
- Yeah.
Bye.
(Plane engine humming)
(Anxious music)
- Here we go.
(Plane engine revving)
(Dramatic music)
(Intense music)
- What's he doing?
(Strained music)
(Toy clattering)
(Engines whining)
- He's pulling out,
he's not gonna do it!
Ah, yes, you beauty!
(Triumphant music)
(Engines whirring)
(Footsteps)
- Piker.
(Laughing)
- Beautiful, you should
have seen their faces.
- He was right, I piked.
- I know, it was great.
- [Robbie] You could
have killed yourself.
- Yeah, I nearly did.
Robbie, it's been kind of weird lately.
Lauren and me being on and off and on.
- You think I haven't noticed?
- Yeah but I think I got it all wrong.
I think I've missed what's been
right there in front of me.
- Chris, I...
- Wait, wait, Robbie.
I'm really sorry about this,
I don't wanna hurt you.
Just lately worse it's
been just like old times.
- But what?
- But it's Lauren.
Robbie, I realize
how I feel about her and...
- You don't get it, do you?
She's leaving.
She sold big sky.
(Sad music)
- I didn't pike, I just
didn't go through with it.
- You piked!
- You piked!
- I mean, what could I do,
she was just sitting there
all beautiful and happy, smiling.
I couldn't just take advantage.
- As if she didn't know
what you were up to.
- What if I'd lunged at her?
What if?
(Snorting)
I'd never forgive myself.
- Jimbo, if you'd lunge at
her she would've clicked you
upside of the head, you
have no idea about women.
- So what'd you do?
- Fell on my sword.
I drank both bottles.
(Laughing)
- Sleep well?
- Like a little Teddy bear, apparently.
- Well there's Scotty's
trip to condobolin,
he's taking butterfly pupae
out to this wedding.
- What's that?
- They're all these little
grubs in boxes, right?
- Yeah.
- They take them out to
reception and they warm them up
and these butterflies
hatch out everywhere.
- Oh wow, oh that is so cool.
- I know, isn't it, it's fantastic.
- Okay, Scotty can do my trip to coffs
and I'll do that one with jimbo.
- [Shay] What's happening
with you and jimbo?
- If I leave it up to him, nothing.
(Giggling)
- Oh really, you better be careful.
- Don't worry, just once.
(Door closing)
- Scotty, you tub of lard, let's go!
Paula!
(Magical music)
- You can't.
- I am.
I nearly didn't but my mind's made up.
- What am I gonna do without you?
- Oh what am I gonna do without you?
Now I'm gonna cry.
(Sniffing)
- God, things aren't gonna be the same.
When are you gonna tell everyone?
- Later, I don't know.
(Door opens)
(Distant plane engines revving)
- And when were you gonna tell me?
- Well I was going to
but you were too busy
running around being a boy.
- Oh yeah?
- Chris,
it's too late.
(Plane propellers nearing)
(Wheels thudding)
(Engines winding down)
- Hey, come and help
me unload this stuff.
- Sure.
What is all this stuff?
- Pupae boxes.
- Pupae boxes?
- Hey, leave it.
- Hmm?
- Come here.
(Tender music)
(Birds calling)
(Wings fluttering)
- How did you do that?
(Insects chirping)
- It wasn't like that,
it was a massive offer,
I couldn't say no.
Everything just came together.
- For you.
- For me, maybe, I don't know.
- Yeah, well, I'm out of here.
- [Lauren] Why?
- Because I've changed.
Since you arrived, I think.
I've been shift pilot for 12
years, I've gotta move on.
- I was hoping you'd say that.
You're the new general manager.
I made it a condition of the deal.
If they wanted big sky, they
got Chris manning running it.
(Distant plane engines)
- So I run the whole show?
- Yep, you're a general now, chief.
- Well, get off my desk.
- (Laughing) Oh, I
wouldn't get too cocky.
If this place isn't running
like a Swiss watch
in six month's time,
you're out on your ear.
(Soft music)
- Thanks.
- No, thank you.
- It was quite sudden.
- Yes, it was.
- Do you think we ever
would have made it?
- We'll never know, will we?
(Romantic music)
(Kissing)
Goodbye, Chris.
I loved you.
(Bittersweet music)
(Crickets chirping)
(Plane engines in the distance)
(Heavenly music)
(Electronic music tingling)
