GIGGLING

0:00:480:00:51

Hurry up, Kay!

0:01:010:01:02

# Whoa, thought it was a nightmare

0:01:110:01:15

# Lo, it's all so true... #

0:01:160:01:18

Slow down, cuz!

0:01:180:01:19

# ..They told me don't go walking slow

0:01:190:01:22

# The devil's on the loose...

0:01:220:01:24

-Come on, Kay!

-I'm coming!

0:01:240:01:25

# ..Better run through the jungle

0:01:250:01:27

# Better run through the jungle

0:01:290:01:31

# Better run through the jungle

0:01:320:01:35

# Whoa, don't look back to see... #

0:01:360:01:37

Stop.

0:01:460:01:48

Me, me, me!

0:01:480:01:50

Ladies and gentlemen,

0:01:500:01:52

it gives me great pleasure to welcome to the stage this afternoon

0:01:520:01:57

four of Australia's deadliest entertainers.

0:01:570:02:01

The one, the only, the very talented...

0:02:020:02:07

Cummeragunja Songbirds!

0:02:070:02:09

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:02:090:02:12

THEY SING IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE

0:02:160:02:19

They never call me nigger, never put no dog on me.

0:03:070:03:10

I'm fighting to free him

0:03:100:03:11

and my mama ain't free in Louisville!

0:03:110:03:13

CHILDREN GIGGLE IN THE DISTANCE

0:03:370:03:41

Mm...

0:03:490:03:51

Mmm...

0:03:510:03:53

Kiss me.

0:03:530:03:54

Mm...

0:03:540:03:55

Oi! You having one of them dirty dreams again?

0:03:580:04:02

-Oh, nick off, will you?

-I said get up, you lazy mongrel!

0:04:020:04:05

We've got a talent contest to win.

0:04:050:04:06

Jeez, I was having the best dream of my life

0:04:060:04:08

and you had to ruin the whole blasted thing.

0:04:080:04:10

-HOOVER WHIRS

-Julie! What's wrong with you?

0:04:100:04:13

She's mad, like you.

0:04:130:04:14

Doesn't mean she has to suck my flaming face off.

0:04:140:04:16

I don't see how you're going to win any contest if I'm not there.

0:04:160:04:19

I told you, you can't come.

0:04:190:04:20

You're not old enough. They won't let you in.

0:04:200:04:22

They wouldn't know how old I was unless you told them!

0:04:220:04:24

Julie, you're not going! That's the end of it.

0:04:240:04:27

Hurry up, Dad. I need some hot water for the shower.

0:04:360:04:39

Well, you should have got up half an hour earlier, then.

0:04:390:04:41

We haven't got half an hour. We're going to miss the flamin' bus.

0:04:410:04:44

-Yeah, yeah.

-Glorious day, Julie.

0:04:440:04:46

Oh, rack off, goat-face.

0:04:460:04:48

Aarrgghh!

0:04:510:04:55

Good job.

0:04:550:04:57

How could Jimmy not love that?

0:05:020:05:04

You're not the first girl that's ever been left at the altar.

0:05:040:05:08

What do you expect from a Middleton, anyway?

0:05:080:05:11

# Yellow bird

0:05:150:05:19

# Up high in banana tree

0:05:190:05:23

# Did your lady friend leave the nest again?

0:05:240:05:29

# That is very bad

0:05:290:05:32

# Makes me feel so sad

0:05:320:05:34

# You can fly away

0:05:340:05:36

# In the sky away

0:05:360:05:38

# You more lucky than me

0:05:380:05:42

# Yellow bird... #

0:05:430:05:46

What? If I'm not coming with you, I'm not singing with you.

0:05:460:05:48

# ..Up high in banana tree

0:05:480:05:52

# Yellow bird

0:05:520:05:55

# You sit all alone like me

0:05:550:06:00

# Better fly away

0:06:010:06:04

# In the sky away

0:06:040:06:06

# Picker coming soon

0:06:060:06:08

# Pick from night to noon

0:06:080:06:10

# Black and yellow you

0:06:100:06:13

# Like banana too

0:06:130:06:15

# They may pick you some day. #

0:06:150:06:19

Still not going.

0:06:210:06:22

See ya.

0:06:250:06:26

# There's a land that is fairer than day

0:06:270:06:32

# And by faith we can see it afar... #

0:06:330:06:37

Cooee! Hey, hey, hey!

0:06:380:06:39

-What's his problem?

-It's cos we're black, stupid.

0:06:420:06:45

No. It's cos you're ugly.

0:06:460:06:48

Taxis always stop for me.

0:06:480:06:50

Now, now, girls.

0:06:510:06:53

# We shall meet on that beautiful shore

0:06:530:06:55

# In the sweet by and by

0:06:560:07:00

# We shall meet... #

0:07:010:07:03

Going into town?

0:07:040:07:07

Oh, here's trouble.

0:07:070:07:10

Wake up!

0:07:110:07:12

Get up, you drongo!

0:07:120:07:14

HE SNORES

0:07:140:07:17

-IRISH ACCENT:

-Oh!

0:07:170:07:18

RADIO TURNS ON

0:07:180:07:20

Hey!

0:07:200:07:21

Get out of my life, you horrible little gobshites!

0:07:210:07:24

RADIO: # I'm a soul man

0:07:240:07:26

# I'm a soul man

0:07:270:07:29

# I'm a soul man

0:07:310:07:34

# Daddy-o

0:07:340:07:35

# That's what I got the hard way

0:07:350:07:38

# And I'll make it better each and every day... #

0:07:400:07:44

DOG BARKS

0:07:440:07:45

Mind me, dog.

0:07:450:07:46

Come on, Buster, come on.

0:07:460:07:48

Morning.

0:07:480:07:49

Well, thank you for turning up.

0:07:540:07:56

Oh, you are welcome, sweet tits.

0:07:560:07:59

You're on your last warning, boyo.

0:07:590:08:01

Oh, blow it out your flabby arse.

0:08:010:08:03

Er...

0:08:110:08:12

Hello.

0:08:120:08:14

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome.

0:08:140:08:16

My name is Dave Lovelace

0:08:160:08:19

and, as you can probably tell from my accent,

0:08:190:08:21

I am from Melbourne.

0:08:210:08:23

Pause for laughter...

0:08:250:08:27

You're getting the idea. I kind of start off slow

0:08:270:08:29

and then I...slowly peter out.

0:08:290:08:32

All right, let's get going here.

0:08:320:08:34

First up, we've got Noelene.

0:08:340:08:37

Where are you, Noelene, you skinny-arsed lily?

0:08:370:08:40

Oh, too kind. That's your music, is it, love?

0:08:400:08:43

Oh...

0:08:430:08:45

Noelene is going to play one of my personal favourites,

0:08:460:08:50

a song made famous by The Seekers.

0:08:500:08:52

It's called Morningtown Ride.

0:08:520:08:54

She's got her own guitar, so I'm just going to leave her to it.

0:08:540:08:56

And I'll be over here...

0:08:560:08:58

opening a vein!

0:08:580:09:00

# Train whistle blowing

0:09:000:09:04

# Makes a sleepy noise

0:09:040:09:07

# Underneath their blankets

0:09:070:09:10

# Go all the girls and boys

0:09:100:09:13

# Rocking, rolling, riding

0:09:130:09:16

# Out along the bay

0:09:160:09:19

# All bound for Morningtown

0:09:190:09:23

# Many miles away... #

0:09:230:09:24

Put that away, you halfwit! You're going to get us kicked out.

0:09:240:09:26

Look at 'em! This could be the last drink I ever get!

0:09:260:09:29

# ..Fireman rings the bell

0:09:290:09:32

# Sandman swings the lantern

0:09:320:09:35

# To show that all is well... #

0:09:350:09:37

# Can't afford to get bored, dear old Sadie

0:09:370:09:41

# Looks as though you'll always be a cleaning lady. #

0:09:410:09:45

APPLAUSE

0:09:470:09:49

Well done, Tommy.

0:09:510:09:52

I have to say, I think you've got a long career ahead of you.

0:09:520:09:55

Ironically, in cleaning!

0:09:550:09:57

OK, last up. Hello... We've got a couple of sisters,

0:09:570:10:00

who tell me that they're from down the road a bit,

0:10:000:10:04

in a place called Crommer-er-unge.

0:10:040:10:06

Crommer-arra-runge.

0:10:060:10:08

Com mer-range-er.

0:10:080:10:09

G'day, folks.

0:10:090:10:11

Thanks for the heartfelt applause.

0:10:120:10:15

You can find something else to do, we don't need you.

0:10:160:10:19

I'm Gail. This is Cynthia.

0:10:210:10:23

And...just so as you know,

0:10:230:10:26

you're all standing on black fella country.

0:10:260:10:29

We're the Cummeragunja Songbirds.

0:10:290:10:31

Here's a Merle Haggard tune.

0:10:320:10:35

Hope to God you like it.

0:10:350:10:36

# Today I started loving you again

0:10:460:10:52

# And I'm right back

0:10:540:10:57

# Where I've really always been

0:10:570:11:01

# I got over you just long enough

0:11:040:11:08

# To let my heartache mend

0:11:080:11:12

# And then today I started loving you again

0:11:130:11:19

# What a fool I was to think I could get by

0:11:220:11:28

# With only these few million tears I've cried

0:11:310:11:37

# I should have known

0:11:400:11:43

# The worst was yet to come

0:11:430:11:47

# And the crying time for me

0:11:500:11:53

# Had just begun

0:11:530:11:56

# Well, today I started loving you again

0:11:580:12:06

# And I'm right back where I've really always been

0:12:070:12:15

# I got over you just long enough

0:12:170:12:22

# To let my heartache mend

0:12:220:12:26

# And today I started loving you again

0:12:260:12:33

# Yes, and today I

0:12:340:12:37

# I started loving you

0:12:370:12:42

# Again. #

0:12:430:12:48

NO-ONE ELSE CLAPS

0:12:530:12:56

I thought I told you to stay home.

0:12:590:13:01

Who are you to tell me what to do, you drongo?

0:13:010:13:03

-I'm the one who's going to drag your big lip over your fat head!

-Stop it!

0:13:030:13:06

-Erm...

-Excuse me, mate. We're in the middle of something.

0:13:060:13:08

I just wanted... That wasn't terrible.

0:13:080:13:10

Do you sing anything other than that kind of country and western shite?

0:13:100:13:14

-Sorry, what's wrong with country and western, mate?

-OK...

0:13:140:13:17

All right, folks. We got a winner for youse.

0:13:180:13:21

Taking home the ten bucks...

0:13:210:13:23

Come on up, bud.

0:13:230:13:24

..it's Noelene with Morningtown Ride.

0:13:240:13:27

-But I was great!

-We were the best.

0:13:270:13:29

That's bullshit, Merle.

0:13:290:13:30

That's a sack of dick.

0:13:300:13:32

You're giving it to Noelene? She's allergic to music!

0:13:320:13:35

That's a fix!

0:13:350:13:37

Fix! Fix! Fix!

0:13:370:13:39

Fix! Fix!

0:13:390:13:42

Show's over, girls. Pack your swags and get back to the humpy.

0:13:420:13:45

You were marvellous.

0:13:460:13:47

Hey! Hey, Tammy Wynette. Did you forget something?

0:13:500:13:53

Thanks.

0:13:530:13:54

And we can get ourselves thrown out of a pub. Don't need your help.

0:13:540:13:57

Thought I told you Abos to get off my premises.

0:13:570:13:59

You were happy enough to have us sing in your crappy contest.

0:13:590:14:02

-Who said I was happy?

-What's the story, anyhow?

0:14:020:14:04

-She your relative or something?

-She's ugly enough.

0:14:040:14:07

And you can piss off out of it, too.

0:14:070:14:10

You were a shithouse MC, anyhow!

0:14:100:14:11

I'm better than you deserve. And a lot better than you pay.

0:14:110:14:14

Oh, I can find somebody else.

0:14:140:14:16

All right, Merle, let's not do anything hasty.

0:14:170:14:21

Come on. Remember?

0:14:210:14:23

I'm the man who made you feel like a girl of 50 again.

0:14:230:14:25

Are you going to make me fetch my rifle?

0:14:250:14:28

Hey, where are you going?

0:14:310:14:34

I've got something to show you.

0:14:340:14:36

-Oi, read this!

-Will you just leave me alone? You've caused me enough trouble today.

0:14:360:14:40

-I don't know how to read.

-Julie, what are you doing?

0:14:400:14:42

"Singers and dancers wanted

0:14:440:14:46

"to perform for the American troops in Vietnam."

0:14:460:14:49

And it says there's good conditions, too.

0:14:490:14:51

-I thought you didn't know how to read.

-Where'd you get this?

0:14:510:14:53

Of course I know how to read, goatface!

0:14:530:14:55

-Then why are you showing me that?

-You need a job, don't you?

0:14:550:14:58

We're offering you one. Playing for us in Vietnam.

0:14:580:15:00

Yeah, OK! Where's Vietnam?

0:15:000:15:02

Hey, Julie, the only place you're going is home on the bus.

0:15:020:15:05

You want to go and perform in Vietnam?

0:15:050:15:07

And what are you going to do? A corroboree?

0:15:070:15:09

Why not? We're the best girl group you'll ever see.

0:15:090:15:12

You're the best Aboriginal girl group I've ever...

0:15:120:15:14

You're the only Aboriginal girl group I've ever seen.

0:15:140:15:17

But trust me, girls, singing in Vietnam? It's not for you.

0:15:170:15:21

Who are you to say what we can and can't do?

0:15:210:15:23

You're right, I'm sorry.

0:15:230:15:25

The years have been unkind. I'm sure you'll do much better.

0:15:250:15:28

Good luck.

0:15:290:15:30

Comora...

0:15:300:15:31

Comoral...

0:15:310:15:33

Good luck, ladies.

0:15:340:15:35

THE ENGINE TURNS OVER AND DIES

0:15:350:15:38

No petrol, eh?

0:15:410:15:42

Hey, this is all right!

0:15:420:15:44

30 bucks a week!

0:15:440:15:46

OK. Let's...

0:15:490:15:51

Just for fun, let's say that you do go to Vietnam.

0:15:510:15:55

What would you sing?

0:15:550:15:56

Because this may have escaped your notice, but you're black.

0:15:560:15:59

And you're singing country and western music.

0:15:590:16:02

It's just wrong.

0:16:020:16:03

Well, what do you think we should sing?

0:16:030:16:06

90% of all recorded music is shite.

0:16:070:16:11

The other 10% is soul.

0:16:110:16:14

Soul music.

0:16:160:16:17

Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, that kind of stuff.

0:16:170:16:20

-We don't sing that type of stuff.

-We like Charley Pride.

0:16:200:16:23

No, not country. Soul!

0:16:230:16:25

Not... # Ding-da-ding. #

0:16:250:16:27

Just... # Boom-ba boom-ba boom

0:16:270:16:28

# Give me some of that sweet soul music! #

0:16:280:16:31

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you

0:16:310:16:33

to the godfather of soul...

0:16:330:16:35

Mr James Brown!

0:16:350:16:37

Oooh!

0:16:370:16:38

That kind of thing.

0:16:380:16:40

If you want to perform for the brothers in Vietnam,

0:16:400:16:42

you've got to give them soul.

0:16:420:16:43

-What would this duppy white fella know about soul music?

-Hey!

0:16:430:16:47

I might be a little pale on the outside,

0:16:470:16:49

but my blood runs Negro, woman.

0:16:490:16:51

What, the bits that don't have whisky in them?

0:16:510:16:54

I'm not the one up there playing songs about cowboys.

0:16:540:16:57

I like cowboys.

0:16:570:16:58

What I saw...you could barely play at all.

0:16:580:17:00

Oooh...

0:17:020:17:04

Give me the number.

0:17:050:17:06

You'd better hold your ears,

0:17:060:17:08

because you're about to see this Black Panther roar!

0:17:080:17:11

# I was brought up on a side street

0:17:130:17:16

# I learned how to love... #

0:17:170:17:19

He's a bit silly in the head, I reckon, eh?

0:17:190:17:21

# I was educated from good stock

0:17:210:17:24

# When I start loving... #

0:17:240:17:26

Yeah, no, that sounds good.

0:17:260:17:27

# ..I can't stop

0:17:270:17:29

# I'm a soul man... #

0:17:330:17:35

When Dave Lovelace calls, people listen.

0:17:350:17:38

And this "duppy" just got us an audition next week in Melbourne.

0:17:380:17:42

Us?

0:17:440:17:45

Without me, there's no you.

0:17:460:17:48

You're going to have to talk to Mum now, eh?

0:17:480:17:51

Happy to talk to Mum.

0:17:530:17:55

All right. Let's go steal some petrol.

0:17:550:17:58

# I'm talking about

0:18:030:18:05

# A soul man

0:18:050:18:06

# I'm a soul man

0:18:060:18:08

# Soul man

0:18:080:18:10

# Soul man... #

0:18:110:18:12

Don't you fellas ever read the newspapers?

0:18:120:18:15

Vietnam? There's a war in Vietnam!

0:18:150:18:18

It's true.

0:18:180:18:19

They're having some problems over there at the minute, but...

0:18:190:18:23

I'd imagine that the girls would be miles away from any of the fighting.

0:18:230:18:27

And there'd be armed guards, of course.

0:18:280:18:30

Marines, whose sole task it would be to watch over the girls.

0:18:300:18:36

-And who's watching over the Marines?

-Mum, just listen to him.

0:18:360:18:38

He's got us an audition in Melbourne.

0:18:380:18:40

-Well, who is he? I don't know him!

-He works at the pub in town.

0:18:400:18:43

-Not any more.

-Julie's right.

0:18:430:18:46

I have managed to secure the girls an audition in Melbourne.

0:18:460:18:50

When someone with my musical pedigree calls and says,

0:18:500:18:53

"Hey, Lovelace here.

0:18:530:18:55

"Hey, Dave, how's it going?"

0:18:550:18:56

"Good."

0:18:560:18:57

We small talk cos we're comfortable with each other.

0:18:570:19:00

But then I say, "Hey, I've got a group."

0:19:000:19:02

"Bring them down, Dave. We want to see 'em."

0:19:020:19:04

-You're going to manage them, are ya?

-And mould them.

0:19:050:19:08

And...shape them.

0:19:090:19:11

What about our jobs?

0:19:110:19:12

Our jobs are gammin.

0:19:120:19:14

OK, Gail, the two things to remember here...

0:19:140:19:17

There's the money.

0:19:180:19:19

And there's the Soul Man.

0:19:190:19:22

Nah. No way.

0:19:220:19:24

-If you think I'm going to let you girls gallivant around Melbourne, up to no good...

-Mum.

0:19:240:19:28

Maybe he's right.

0:19:300:19:31

Maybe this is the chance of a lifetime.

0:19:310:19:34

What's wrong with your life now?

0:19:340:19:36

Being treated like dogs by the gubs in town every single day.

0:19:360:19:39

That's not the life I was born for.

0:19:390:19:41

-I'm destined for fame.

-We can stay at Uncle Ed's.

0:19:410:19:43

Move over, Aretha!

0:19:430:19:45

Stand back, Wilson Pickett!

0:19:450:19:47

Pack your bags, Supremes!

0:19:470:19:49

Because there are some new cats in town.

0:19:490:19:51

And those cats go by the name of the Crunjuaberry Currants.

0:19:510:19:54

The Cunner...

0:19:540:19:56

Cummarendens.

0:19:560:19:57

The... We're going to have to think about your name.

0:20:000:20:02

Get up, you moron.

0:20:020:20:04

Mum...

0:20:040:20:05

I suppose Gail and Cynthia can go.

0:20:090:20:10

But Julie stays here. She's too young.

0:20:100:20:13

That's stupid! Everyone knows they're nothing without me.

0:20:130:20:16

-Julie, that's enough now.

-You've got a child.

0:20:160:20:19

And you're no more than a child yourself.

0:20:190:20:21

I know I've got a child. That's why I want to make something of myself.

0:20:210:20:24

-Get out of my face, four-eyes!

-No, hold on, hold on.

0:20:240:20:27

Julie's the key. Julie's the one with the voice.

0:20:270:20:30

-Yeah, I am.

-You are not!

0:20:300:20:32

You should've asked Kay.

0:20:320:20:34

Who's Kay?

0:20:350:20:37

Kay's their cousin. She lives down in Melbourne somewhere,

0:20:370:20:40

-but I wouldn't know where.

-I do.

0:20:400:20:43

What? Since when?

0:20:430:20:46

Long enough.

0:20:460:20:47

Kay and them girls used to sing together once upon a time.

0:20:480:20:51

Time that girl came back to us, anyway.

0:20:510:20:54

Dave...

0:20:540:20:55

Step into my office, will you?

0:20:570:20:59

Go on, then.

0:21:040:21:06

Yep.

0:21:070:21:09

So, Mr Soul Man...

0:21:180:21:20

-..you reckon you're the real thing, do you?

-Probably not.

0:21:210:21:24

Your daughters are the real thing, though.

0:21:260:21:29

You a murderer?

0:21:290:21:30

No, sir.

0:21:310:21:32

I was an entertainments officer on a cruise ship.

0:21:330:21:36

Not any more, though.

0:21:360:21:39

No...

0:21:390:21:40

I had some problems.

0:21:410:21:43

You know, you can always tell where a fish has been

0:21:430:21:46

by cutting open its guts.

0:21:460:21:48

But you've got to have the right knife for it.

0:21:480:21:50

Always like to keep my blade really sharp.

0:21:510:21:54

I will lay down my life before I let any harm befall those girls.

0:21:570:22:01

You'd better.

0:22:010:22:02

Don't worry about Julie.

0:22:030:22:05

She's a prize catch, eh?

0:22:060:22:08

-Isn't she, though?

-Mm.

0:22:080:22:10

And, ladies, this design fits...

0:22:190:22:21

just stacks beautifully in the fridge or the pantry.

0:22:210:22:24

-Coffee, anyone?

-Yes, please.

0:22:240:22:26

It makes great lunchboxes and things like that.

0:22:260:22:29

Come on.

0:22:360:22:37

KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:22:450:22:46

Kay? Are you in there?

0:22:460:22:48

Who's that?

0:22:480:22:50

KNOCKING

0:22:500:22:52

Howdy!

0:22:570:22:59

Gail.

0:22:590:23:00

Cynthia.

0:23:010:23:03

You should have let me know.

0:23:040:23:06

What do you want?

0:23:080:23:10

If it's money, I can't.

0:23:100:23:12

-Kay? Are you all right?

-Er, won't be a moment.

0:23:120:23:15

Are we coming in, or what?

0:23:150:23:17

It's not really convenient at the moment. I've guests.

0:23:170:23:20

Yeah.

0:23:200:23:22

We make you ashamed, do we?

0:23:220:23:24

Jeez, you haven't changed one bit, have you?

0:23:240:23:26

Still talking like some upper-class gub and we're your personal slaves.

0:23:260:23:30

-I don't know what you mean.

-Gubba.

0:23:300:23:32

It means white person.

0:23:320:23:34

-I think you'd better go.

-Kay?

0:23:340:23:35

Can I help you?

0:23:370:23:38

No.

0:23:390:23:40

-Kay, do you know these people?

-I'll handle this.

0:23:400:23:43

Kay, we're going to Haysia.

0:23:430:23:46

-What?

-Where?

0:23:460:23:47

Haysia!

0:23:470:23:48

-Thailand.

-Vietnam, you twit.

0:23:480:23:50

Vietnam, then!

0:23:500:23:51

Well...don't get lost.

0:23:510:23:54

We need you, cuz.

0:23:550:23:56

We're going to be doing shows for the soldiers in Thai...

0:23:560:24:00

Vietnam.

0:24:000:24:01

Singing.

0:24:010:24:03

But it's got to be all three of us.

0:24:030:24:05

You're wasting your breath.

0:24:070:24:08

She's lost, that one.

0:24:080:24:10

Act your age, not your colour.

0:24:100:24:12

Oh, jeez! I don't know you two!

0:24:120:24:14

Youse mob better punch on or something,

0:24:140:24:16

but sort it out, whatever it is, cos this is my big break!

0:24:160:24:19

Cynthia!

0:24:190:24:21

Your friend's screeching for you.

0:24:210:24:24

KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:24:250:24:27

Kay!

0:24:270:24:29

We're staying at Uncle Ed's, Kay.

0:24:290:24:31

Is everything all right?

0:24:310:24:34

Welcome! Welcome all.

0:24:350:24:37

-Uncle!

-Come on, then.

0:24:370:24:39

Here you are. Have some of that.

0:24:390:24:41

# You're sweeter than the honey that the bees make

0:24:410:24:44

# Soul sister... #

0:24:440:24:45

Dance, my beautiful nieces!

0:24:450:24:46

Shake those hips, use those legs. Look at these boys!

0:24:460:24:49

# ..Sweeter than the icing on the best cake

0:24:490:24:51

# Soul sister

0:24:510:24:53

# You're brown sugar

0:24:530:24:55

# I was in the dark but now I see... #

0:24:550:24:58

We need whisky! Whisky!

0:24:580:25:00

# I was always proud

0:25:020:25:04

# But now I'm sayin' it loud

0:25:040:25:06

# Keep on givin' it to me

0:25:060:25:08

# Love and affection to the bone... #

0:25:090:25:11

-Lovely place you've got here.

-Isn't it great?

-Yeah, love it.

0:25:110:25:14

# You're brown sugar

0:25:140:25:16

# Keep on sockin' it to me all night long

0:25:160:25:20

# Soul sister... #

0:25:200:25:21

Oh, I've done it again!

0:25:210:25:23

Drink! Drink, go on.

0:25:230:25:25

The mice are moving the dice!

0:25:280:25:30

I bet you can't do it again, snake eyes. Come on.

0:25:300:25:33

..For when we're trying to get all your different bits of food together for a dinner party,

0:25:330:25:38

cos you can just take the lid off, you pop some warm -

0:25:380:25:40

or probably boiling water is better - just in the bottom there.

0:25:400:25:43

And then you've got little ventilating holes.

0:25:430:25:45

Gail!

0:25:460:25:47

Gail, it's your mum!

0:25:470:25:50

I'm... I'm quite... Oh, here she is. Here she is.

0:25:500:25:53

Mum?

0:25:530:25:54

What's wrong?

0:25:550:25:57

That flamin' Julie's run off somewhere.

0:25:570:25:59

'What? Mum!'

0:25:590:26:00

What? What's up?

0:26:000:26:03

-Don't you "what's up" me.

-'Mum, what did you say?'

0:26:030:26:05

You've let Julie run off to Melbourne, haven't you?

0:26:050:26:08

Ah, stop your rot.

0:26:080:26:09

'I taught her well.'

0:26:090:26:10

Mum? Will someone talk to me?

0:26:100:26:12

'Your dad and Nan helped Julie escape.

0:26:120:26:15

'Where's that James Brown fella?

0:26:150:26:17

'Gail? Where is he? Gail?'

0:26:170:26:20

You never told me that your uncle was Irish.

0:26:200:26:22

'Gail!'

0:26:220:26:23

We try to hide that.

0:26:230:26:25

BANGING ON DOOR

0:26:250:26:28

-Hello?

-I'll get it.

0:26:280:26:30

Julie!

0:26:320:26:33

Hey, sis!

0:26:330:26:35

What's she doing here?

0:26:350:26:37

I'm here to sing.

0:26:440:26:46

Dad and Nan said I could come.

0:26:460:26:48

Did they now? They didn't tell me.

0:26:480:26:50

What do you want?

0:26:550:26:57

I'm coming to Vietnam.

0:26:570:26:59

Who says we want you?

0:26:590:27:00

Right, if you say no Julie and you say no Kay,

0:27:000:27:04

then there's no Cynthia.

0:27:040:27:06

And if there's no Cynthia, there's no show.

0:27:060:27:08

Bust you, then.

0:27:080:27:09

# Love and affection to the bone... #

Well, that was interesting, wasn't it?

0:27:550:27:58

Where do we rehearse?

0:27:580:27:59

I thought those biscuits were for patients only, Bruce.

0:28:080:28:12

One, two, three...

0:28:120:28:13

ALL: # I bet you're wondering how I knew

0:28:130:28:16

# About your plans to make me blue... #

0:28:160:28:19

You've got this for the next three nights, OK?

0:28:190:28:21

# ..With some other girl that you knew before

0:28:210:28:24

# Between the two of us girls, you know I love you more

0:28:240:28:29

# It took me by surprise, I must say

0:28:290:28:33

# When I found out yesterday

0:28:330:28:36

# Don't you know, I heard it through the grapevine? #

0:28:360:28:41

All right. Er, good.

0:28:410:28:43

It was good. Yes, very good.

0:28:430:28:46

But, erm... How do I say this?

0:28:460:28:48

OK, next time you do it,

0:28:480:28:50

can you make it sound blacker?

0:28:500:28:54

Manage that, Kay?

0:28:540:28:56

All right. Let's go again.

0:28:560:28:58

Grapevine. This time, Julie, can you sing the lead, please?

0:28:580:29:01

What?

0:29:010:29:03

No, no, no.

0:29:030:29:05

I'm Gail.

0:29:050:29:06

-That's right.

-Yeah, my name's Gail.

0:29:060:29:08

I sing lead. Julie and the girls do back-ups.

0:29:080:29:11

How do you feel about not singing lead?

0:29:120:29:14

How do you feel about getting knocked out by a woman?

0:29:140:29:17

Pretty embarrassed, I would imagine.

0:29:170:29:19

The thing is, Gail, I pick the songs and I pick who sings them.

0:29:200:29:24

Nobody tells me or my sisters what to sing or who sings lead.

0:29:240:29:28

Your voice isn't good enough to sing lead.

0:29:300:29:32

-You want to say that again?

-Not really.

0:29:340:29:36

No.

0:29:360:29:37

Gail, you are a commanding presence...

0:29:390:29:42

on stage, as you are in life.

0:29:420:29:46

But you also have the weakest voice out of the four of you.

0:29:460:29:49

He's right, Gail.

0:29:520:29:53

You can hold a tune, but you can't hold your own in a solo.

0:29:530:29:57

Sometimes...

0:29:580:29:59

More than sometimes.

0:29:590:30:01

Anyone else? Cynthia?

0:30:020:30:04

Maybe you should just let those of us who can do it...do it.

0:30:050:30:08

Yeah, OK, then.

0:30:150:30:17

-Gail, that's very...

-Shut up. I'm not finished.

0:30:180:30:20

I'm finished.

0:30:240:30:25

All right. Before we go again...

0:30:270:30:30

Girls, when I met you,

0:30:300:30:32

you were doing your whole country and western thing.

0:30:320:30:34

And that's fine - we all make mistakes.

0:30:340:30:37

But here's where we learn from that mistake.

0:30:370:30:39

Country and western music is about loss.

0:30:390:30:43

Soul music is also about loss.

0:30:430:30:46

But the difference is, in country and western music,

0:30:460:30:49

they've lost, they've given up

0:30:490:30:50

and they're just at home whining about it.

0:30:500:30:53

In soul music, they're struggling to get it back

0:30:530:30:56

and they haven't given up.

0:30:560:30:58

So every note that passes through your lips

0:30:580:31:00

should have the tone of a woman who's grasping and fighting

0:31:000:31:03

and desperate to retrieve what's been taken from her.

0:31:030:31:05

You understand?

0:31:050:31:06

Now, what it is that you're searching for, that's up to you.

0:31:060:31:10

I'm just here to get you there, you know?

0:31:120:31:16

# I'll take you there... #

0:31:170:31:19

There's a place called the Apollo Theatre.

0:31:210:31:24

It's where dreams are made, where legends are born.

0:31:240:31:28

# I'll take you there... #

0:31:310:31:33

I can see you girls singing in places like that.

0:31:330:31:36

There and in the Rainbow, in the Olympia,

0:31:360:31:39

the best rooms in the world.

0:31:390:31:41

GIRLS: # I'll take you there...

0:31:410:31:42

Because you've got it within you. You just need to let it out.

0:31:420:31:45

# I'll take you there... #

0:31:450:31:47

That's it! Let it out of you like a geyser coming out off the ground!

0:31:470:31:50

Like a volcano springing from the earth

0:31:500:31:53

and you just can't stop it.

0:31:530:31:55

# I'll take you there... #

0:31:550:31:56

Like a volcano pushing through the earth beneath you.

0:31:560:31:59

# I'll take you there... #

0:31:590:32:01

Until, finally, it's easy enough, like breathing in and breathing out.

0:32:010:32:04

# I'll take you there... #

0:32:040:32:05

And breathing in and breathing out.

0:32:050:32:07

# And breathin' in and breathin' out

0:32:070:32:10

# And breathing in

0:32:100:32:11

# Oh, mercy!

0:32:110:32:13

# Oh-oh, can I have some mercy now? #

0:32:140:32:18

Any questions?

0:32:240:32:25

One, two, three.

0:32:270:32:29

# Now, don't you ever

0:32:290:32:31

-# Be sad... #

-One, two, three.

0:32:310:32:33

-# Lean on me... #

-OK. Wrong arms, girls.

0:32:330:32:35

Wrong arms, Gail.

0:32:350:32:37

-Thank you.

-Hey!

0:32:380:32:40

All right. Are we ready?

0:32:400:32:42

Let's get our dancing shoes on, ladies.

0:32:420:32:44

# Hold on... #

0:32:460:32:47

One, two, three!

0:32:500:32:52

One, two, three!

0:32:530:32:55

That's it, that's it.

0:32:550:32:56

Nailed it. Keep going!

0:32:560:32:59

That's it, girls. Come on, feel it. Feel it.

0:32:590:33:01

Mm! Yeah, check them! Look at that!

0:33:010:33:04

-Here you go, brother.

-All right.

0:33:040:33:05

That's what we're aiming for, girls. Look at them sashay.

0:33:050:33:08

-Yeah, yeah.

-That's going to be you, ladies.

0:33:080:33:11

That's it!

0:33:110:33:12

# I'm coming

0:33:120:33:13

# Hold on

0:33:130:33:15

# I'm coming... #

0:33:150:33:17

-All right, move it now.

-# Hold on... #

0:33:170:33:19

And put your hands on those hips.

0:33:190:33:22

# Hold on, I'm coming... #

0:33:220:33:24

Come on, back it up, back it up.

0:33:240:33:27

# Reach out to me

0:33:270:33:29

# For satisfaction, yeah... #

0:33:290:33:31

-You see how it's working?

-OK.

0:33:310:33:34

# Look

0:33:340:33:35

# Call my name now

0:33:350:33:38

# For quick reaction

0:33:390:33:41

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... #

0:33:410:33:44

You especially, I have my eye on.

0:33:530:33:55

There was some shit going down over there.

0:33:550:33:57

Nice, Julie, nice. OK, let's go again.

0:33:570:34:00

# Hold on

0:34:000:34:01

-# I'm coming... #

-Whenever you're ready, girls.

0:34:010:34:03

# Hold on

0:34:030:34:05

# I'm coming

0:34:050:34:07

# Hold on... #

0:34:070:34:09

Women.

0:34:090:34:11

Oh, sorry, Cyn.

0:34:160:34:17

I was supposed to give you this as soon as I got to Melbourne.

0:34:170:34:20

Hey...

0:34:200:34:22

Oh, you look lovely.

0:34:220:34:24

-How's everything?

-Did Jimmy give you this?

0:34:240:34:26

-Did he?

-Who's Jimmy?

0:34:260:34:28

None of my business.

0:34:280:34:30

I've been thinking, Cyn.

0:34:350:34:37

No, don't. You'll hurt yourself.

0:34:370:34:39

You want to get married?

0:34:410:34:43

Who to?

0:34:430:34:44

To me.

0:34:440:34:45

What?!

0:34:450:34:47

Sorry. It was just a thought.

0:34:470:34:49

Hey, Cyn! Come back! I'm sorry!

0:34:490:34:52

You mob! You mob!

0:34:520:34:54

I'm getting married!

0:34:540:34:56

EVERYONE CHEERS

0:34:560:34:59

Oh, my God! I'm getting married!

0:34:590:35:02

Why?!

0:35:030:35:05

He's already broken my heart once!

0:35:050:35:08

I was going to wear Nan's wedding dress!

0:35:080:35:11

I was just getting over it!

0:35:110:35:13

Hey, hey, hey!

0:35:130:35:14

You're always just getting over him. Now snap out of it, blast ya.

0:35:140:35:17

-Will she be able to sing?

-Cyn!

0:35:170:35:19

Don't let Jimmy Middleton ruin things for ya.

0:35:190:35:21

We're going to be famous. He should be the one crying over you.

0:35:210:35:24

Give her some of this.

0:35:240:35:25

I don't need that!

0:35:250:35:27

# When

0:35:420:35:45

# I

0:35:450:35:46

# When I

0:35:460:35:48

0:35:480:35:50

# Had you

0:35:500:35:52

# I treated you bad

0:35:520:35:58

# And wrong, my dear

0:35:580:36:01

# And since

0:36:010:36:02

# Oooh

0:36:020:36:04

# Since you went away

0:36:040:36:09

# Don't you know I sit around

0:36:090:36:13

# With my head hanging down

0:36:130:36:18

# And I wonder

0:36:180:36:20

# Oooh

0:36:200:36:21

# Who's loving you?

0:36:210:36:25

# Ever made you cry

0:36:420:36:44

0:36:450:36:47

# Yeah, since you've been gone

0:36:470:36:52

# Oh, don't you know I sit around

0:36:520:36:57

# Loving

0:37:100:37:14

# You?

0:37:140:37:20

# Who's loving you? #

0:37:200:37:25

And your name again?

0:37:300:37:32

Cummeragunja Songbirds.

0:37:320:37:33

Say what now?

0:37:350:37:36

Er, we're The Sapphires.

0:37:390:37:41

Sapphires?

0:37:440:37:46

We'll see you in Saigon.

0:37:490:37:51

# Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

0:37:560:38:00

# Got a certain little girl, She's on my mind

0:38:040:38:06

# No doubt about it... #

0:38:060:38:08

Bonjour, Saigon!

0:38:080:38:10

# Sometimes she's going to make me feel so bad

0:38:100:38:13

# Na, na, na, na, na, na

0:38:130:38:14

# Na, na, na, na

0:38:140:38:16

# Feel so bad... #

0:38:200:38:21

Myron Ritchie. Your promoter.

0:38:500:38:52

Welcome, Sapphires. Welcome to Saigon.

0:38:520:38:55

I'm trusting you'll regard the La Parisian as your home away from home

0:38:550:38:58

all the while you're here in Vietnam.

0:38:580:39:00

-Is this where we're staying?

-Nothing but the best for our stars, baby.

0:39:000:39:03

OK, Myron, erm, are you the man we talk to about money,

0:39:030:39:07

because, erm, if we don't get the bucks, these stars don't shine.

0:39:070:39:10

-Gail...

-Hey!

0:39:100:39:12

Myron. Dave Lovelace.

0:39:120:39:14

Great to meet you. I'm the manager of The Sapphires.

0:39:140:39:17

These girls are ball-busting good. This is going to be great.

0:39:170:39:19

Food and accommodation have all been taken care of, ma'am.

0:39:190:39:22

And you'll find you gals won't need much cash on the road.

0:39:220:39:24

But in the meantime, why don't you girls check in, have a look around,

0:39:240:39:28

while I talk turkey with Ringo Starr and big sister here.

0:39:280:39:32

Plenty to see.

0:39:320:39:34

-Ladies...

-Plenty!

0:39:340:39:35

It goes without saying,

0:39:390:39:41

reports on The Sapphires have been excellent.

0:39:410:39:43

And I've got to tell you, I'm really looking forward

0:39:440:39:46

to seeing you sweethearts showcase your talent on stage tonight.

0:39:460:39:49

Tonight?

0:39:490:39:50

Well, listen up, honey.

0:39:500:39:51

I got 32 acts.

0:39:510:39:53

Five of them are soul sisters.

0:39:530:39:55

If you can't shake your moneymaker for the brothers tonight,

0:39:550:39:58

you're all on the first plane back to Austria tomorrow.

0:39:580:40:00

-Australia.

-The first plane.

0:40:000:40:03

Fear not, brother Myron.

0:40:030:40:05

I know my girls can lay it down.

0:40:050:40:08

And, sister, the singing, it ain't the half of it.

0:40:100:40:13

The show...it better be right on.

0:40:130:40:16

If the pool's going to be on the roof, it's going to be up this way.

0:40:180:40:21

-Are you sure we're allowed up here? Isn't it just for the soldiers?

-Yes, Julie.

0:40:210:40:25

I can smell where the good-looking men are from a mile away.

0:40:250:40:28

You're over Jimmy Middleton now?

0:40:280:40:30

Don't mention his name. He's had his go.

0:40:300:40:33

He's not getting a second serve of this coffee-coloured Koori.

0:40:330:40:36

He's in Cummeragunja. I'm in Saigon. I can do what I like!

0:40:380:40:41

Kay!

0:40:500:40:51

Need ya!

0:40:510:40:53

Kay!

0:40:530:40:54

Oh!

0:40:560:40:57

Sorry...

0:40:570:40:59

We're looking for the pool.

0:41:080:41:10

You'll find the pool thataways.

0:41:100:41:13

OK.

0:41:140:41:15

I work in a hospital.

0:41:170:41:19

Kay!

0:41:230:41:24

Gail...

0:41:510:41:52

Can I have a word?

0:41:520:41:54

Yeah, we're going to need to smarten up.

0:41:560:41:58

I've never seen so many black men in the one place.

0:42:030:42:06

Stand back, Jack.

0:42:080:42:10

This little black duck is going to go quack, quack, quack.

0:42:100:42:13

-Hello?

-Hello.

0:42:150:42:16

Hello? Hello? Something like this.

0:42:160:42:18

You know, shiny?

0:42:180:42:19

Erm...class. We want class.

0:42:190:42:22

Class, yeah.

0:42:220:42:23

But with cleavage.

0:42:230:42:24

-Yes?

-You want striptease?

0:42:260:42:28

Very sexy.

0:42:280:42:30

Yes, very sexy.

0:42:300:42:32

Yes?

0:42:320:42:33

Yes.

0:42:330:42:35

That's it.

0:42:350:42:36

What are you gawking at?

0:42:360:42:39

Chicken breasts.

0:42:410:42:43

Chicken...have breasts. Tasty breasts.

0:42:430:42:45

Now, we've got four real-life Aborigines from Australia

0:42:480:42:51

and they're going to be putting it down out there for you tonight.

0:42:510:42:54

So I want you to be polite.

0:42:540:42:56

Grab a drink off my beautiful ladies,

0:42:560:42:58

because we've got a big line-up for y'all tonight.

0:42:580:43:00

And remember, you're at the Cave, baby.

0:43:000:43:03

The best black bar in Saigon.

0:43:030:43:06

Yeah.

0:43:060:43:07

-Let's do it. Yeah?

-Yeah. All right.

0:43:090:43:12

-All righty.

-Yeah!

0:43:120:43:13

0:44:510:44:57

CHEERING

0:45:000:45:03

Oh, my gosh! My gosh! We did it! We did it!

0:45:080:45:12

We've just got to remember to keep in step in the choruses, that's all.

0:45:120:45:15

Oh, my Lord, girl. That was out of sight!

0:45:150:45:17

Wow, thank you. You're too kind.

0:45:170:45:19

-Oi, he means me, cuz.

-I was joking, all right?

0:45:190:45:22

Hey, hey, hey...

0:45:220:45:23

Baby girl. Ain't no fool around here buying you a drink?

0:45:230:45:26

Uh-uh, beautiful.

0:45:260:45:28

You offering?

0:45:280:45:29

You looking at your man.

0:45:290:45:30

6.00 in the morning, front of the hotel there.

0:45:320:45:34

The Sapphires hit the road and you tighten up the act out of town.

0:45:340:45:37

We're going to tour The Sapphires for three headline-busting weeks.

0:45:370:45:40

That's 27 shows in 23 days.

0:45:400:45:43

And then we play the big venues - Nha Trang and back here in Saigon.

0:45:430:45:47

-You dig?

-Right on.

0:45:470:45:49

Hey, back up the truck, brother.

0:45:490:45:51

There are things we need to discuss, like a military escort.

0:45:510:45:53

You're four black women in a war zone, honey.

0:45:530:45:56

All you need to do is sing.

0:45:560:45:59

Myron, we don't pass wind without a military escort.

0:45:590:46:02

Come on, Dave. Do you think I'd be sending my stars out on the road

0:46:020:46:05

without the might of the US military to protect them?

0:46:050:46:07

What about a band?

0:46:070:46:08

You've been singing with them right there, sister.

0:46:080:46:11

Look, I'm leaving this up to you, white boy.

0:46:110:46:12

Don't screw this up on me.

0:46:120:46:14

I don't screw up, Myron.

0:46:180:46:20

Just go get the dresses.

0:46:240:46:25

You've got to look me in the eyes. It's bad luck.

0:46:280:46:31

Hey, sister. Remember me? On the rooftop?

0:46:340:46:36

It's Kay, right?

0:46:360:46:37

-Oooh!

-Chill out, chill out.

0:46:370:46:39

Oh, shame. He's yours.

0:46:390:46:41

-So, you got plans for tonight?

-Are you always this clumsy?

0:46:440:46:47

No, ma'am. Only around beauty.

0:46:470:46:49

Oh.

0:46:490:46:50

Better watch your step, then.

0:46:510:46:53

Hm. All right.

0:46:530:46:54

Name's Robby.

0:46:550:46:57

Goodnight, Robby.

0:46:580:47:00

Hey, it's all groovy, baby. You've work to do.

0:47:010:47:03

We'll save the pleasure of meeting for another time.

0:47:030:47:06

But, hey, don't you forget now. Whoo!

0:47:060:47:09

Oh, sorry. Chill out, chill out. Chill out. Chill out.

0:47:110:47:13

It's all groovy, baby.

0:47:150:47:16

They still working.

0:47:160:47:18

Seriously, now, honey. Never relax. Never assume.

0:47:210:47:24

That party girl there in the miniskirt could be Vietcong.

0:47:270:47:30

She could lob a hand grenade across the bar at any time.

0:47:310:47:34

Boom!

0:47:340:47:35

If you've got to do that,

0:47:380:47:39

can you do that somewhere else where we don't have to watch you?

0:47:390:47:42

Hey, sis, if you want something, you've got to go get it.

0:47:430:47:46

Yeah, well, can you get it somewhere else? I can hear you.

0:47:460:47:49

Where's Julie?

0:47:510:47:52

She went that way.

0:47:520:47:54

JULIE SOBS

0:48:030:48:06

There you are.

0:48:060:48:08

What are you doing out here?

0:48:080:48:10

I need to know where you are at all times.

0:48:100:48:12

I didn't know it was going to be like this.

0:48:120:48:14

Anyone could lob a hand grenade and start shooting at us.

0:48:140:48:17

There you are. What did I tell you? You shouldn't even be here.

0:48:170:48:19

Shouting at me isn't going to help.

0:48:190:48:21

Yeah, well, it's your stupid idea in the first place, isn't it?

0:48:210:48:24

Julie, darling.

0:48:240:48:25

Don't worry. Everything's going to be fine.

0:48:250:48:28

Can you not stick your nose in it?

0:48:280:48:30

Jesus Christ...!

0:48:300:48:32

Look, Gail, if I could think of a way to insult a black woman

0:48:330:48:35

without it coming across as racist...

0:48:350:48:37

Well, if you can't, it probably means you are.

0:48:370:48:39

Will you just shut up?

0:48:390:48:42

Look, you know what? That's it!

0:48:420:48:44

We're going to have this out, you and me.

0:48:440:48:46

-Come on, bud. Let's go.

-Fine.

0:48:460:48:49

Here and now.

0:48:490:48:51

This shit... This has to stop.

0:48:510:48:53

You're going to have to start giving me the respect that I deserve.

0:48:530:48:56

Respect? What are you, the flaming mission manager?

0:48:560:48:59

Yes! I'm the manager.

0:48:590:49:01

I am the man who's going to manage you

0:49:010:49:03

better than you've ever been managed!

0:49:030:49:05

It would take a special man to manage me properly.

0:49:050:49:07

Well, you're looking at him!

0:49:070:49:09

Excuse me! Crying. Scared.

0:49:090:49:12

OK, Vietnam. I'm here!

0:49:120:49:14

SHE GIGGLES EXCITEDLY

0:49:140:49:17

# Yeah!

0:49:200:49:21

# Oooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew

0:49:220:49:27

# Baby, baby, baby, about your plans to make me blue

0:49:280:49:31

# Mmm, with some other girls you knew before

0:49:320:49:36

# Between the two of us girls... #

0:49:370:49:38

Please, welcome to the stage...

0:49:380:49:40

Good morning! Lieutenant John Jenson at your service, ma'am.

0:49:400:49:43

How are you?

0:49:430:49:44

# When I found out yesterday

0:49:440:49:47

# Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine?

0:49:470:49:50

# Oh, I heard it through the grapevine

0:49:500:49:52

# Not much longer would you be mine

0:49:520:49:54

# Not much longer would you be mine

0:49:540:49:56

# Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine?

0:49:560:49:58

# I heard it through the grapevine

0:49:580:50:00

# And I'm just about, just about, just about to lose my mind... #

0:50:000:50:04

Ma'am? Incoming radio message for you.

0:50:040:50:05

-For me?

-Yeah.

0:50:050:50:07

'Woo!'

0:50:080:50:09

Say it again, now!

0:50:090:50:11

Hey!

0:50:110:50:12

Thank you.

0:50:140:50:16

# Half of what you see

0:50:170:50:20

# And none of what you hear

0:50:220:50:24

# Baby, I just can't help... #

0:50:240:50:26

These ladies have come a very, very long way to entertain you.

0:50:260:50:30

So, please, give a very, very warm welcome to The Sapphires!

0:50:300:50:34

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:50:340:50:38

Oh, my God! Leeches! Get it off me!

0:50:390:50:41

# Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine?

0:50:410:50:43

# I heard it through the grapevine

0:50:430:50:45

# Not much longer would you be mine

0:50:450:50:47

# Not much longer would you be mine.

0:50:470:50:48

# Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine?

0:50:480:50:51

# Heard it through the grapevine

0:50:510:50:53

# And I'm about, just about, just about to lose my mind

0:50:530:50:57

# Oh, yes, I am

0:50:570:50:59

# Oh, yeah! #

0:51:040:51:08

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:51:080:51:10

Move it! Let's go!

0:51:160:51:18

Hey, Duggie, that looks burnt to shit.

0:51:290:51:32

Hell no. This is what you call cooking Cajun-style.

0:51:320:51:35

Oh...

0:51:350:51:36

This here's my famed blackened catfish.

0:51:360:51:38

It's the speciality of the house.

0:51:380:51:40

Hot!

0:51:450:51:46

-And spicy.

-Mm.

0:51:460:51:48

Dave, I'm telling you, ain't nothing surer with the ladies

0:51:480:51:50

than a man packing a home-baked spread of catfish

0:51:500:51:53

and a side order of soul.

0:51:530:51:55

You know, you can tell where a catfish has been

0:51:570:51:59

just by cutting open its guts.

0:51:590:52:00

Is that right?

0:52:000:52:02

Something like that.

0:52:020:52:04

First question. Are you attracted to the man or not?

0:52:070:52:09

A little. I wouldn't say he's my one and only.

0:52:090:52:12

That's what Stevie Kayne said to me and I ended up with Hartley.

0:52:140:52:16

Stevie Kayne's the father of your child?

0:52:160:52:19

Stevie with the glasses?

0:52:190:52:21

Well, if you ask me, this isn't the place to be encouraging romance.

0:52:210:52:24

We're here to work.

0:52:240:52:25

Speak for yourself, sister.

0:52:270:52:28

Mm-hm?

0:52:300:52:31

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

0:52:320:52:33

-G'day.

-Hey.

0:52:330:52:35

-What's that?

-Catfish.

0:52:360:52:37

It's, er...blackened catfish.

0:52:390:52:41

It's supposed to look like that.

0:52:430:52:44

-You want to try it?

-No.

0:52:450:52:47

No? All right.

0:52:470:52:48

-More for me.

-Mm-hm.

0:52:500:52:52

Those Hollywood folks there, they know how to pull a crowd.

0:52:570:53:00

-That's what I'm going to do, too.

-Yeah?

0:53:000:53:03

# You better shout my love

0:53:050:53:08

# Oooh-oooh

0:53:080:53:10

# Thank you, baby... #

0:53:110:53:14

Now, what do we have here?

0:53:160:53:18

Oh...

0:53:180:53:19

That's, erm...

0:53:190:53:20

That's Jimmy's ring.

0:53:200:53:22

The boy's a damn fool.

0:53:220:53:24

God, you're beautiful.

0:53:340:53:35

# I want to tell the world, baby

0:53:370:53:40

# You better shout my love... #

0:53:400:53:43

Sir...

0:53:450:53:47

Delivery for you.

0:53:470:53:49

From Saigon.

0:53:490:53:50

Oh, I love you, man. I love you.

0:53:580:54:01

Yeah...

0:54:010:54:02

You're my favourite soldier.

0:54:020:54:03

-Yeah, thank you.

-You're my favourite.

0:54:030:54:05

Thank... Thank you, sir.

0:54:050:54:06

Full house!

0:54:090:54:11

Shut up!

0:54:110:54:13

DRUNKENLY: # In Asia, once again

0:54:140:54:18

# Once again!

0:54:180:54:20

# In Asia, once again

0:54:200:54:22

# Once again... #

0:54:220:54:23

THEY SING ON INCOHERENTLY

0:54:230:54:28

Hang on, hang on.

0:54:300:54:31

Hey, Irish...

0:54:310:54:33

Hey, telephone man.

0:54:330:54:35

Oh, shit.

0:54:360:54:37

Dave, it's Myron. Hey, listen up, man.

0:54:370:54:39

-Oh, hey, Myron!

-Word's out about The Sapphires.

0:54:390:54:41

Yeah, yeah, man. I'm good.

0:54:410:54:43

I got a gig headlining in Nha Trang.

0:54:430:54:45

-What?

-But here's the thing, Dave.

0:54:450:54:47

-Yeah, the line's pretty bad.

-No escort.

0:54:470:54:49

You're going to have to get there under your own steam.

0:54:490:54:52

-That's cool, Myron.

-Do you hear what I'm saying?

0:54:520:54:54

-Good to hear from you, bro!

-Dave? Dave? You hearing me? Dave!

0:54:540:54:57

Dave?

0:54:570:54:58

Shh...

0:54:590:55:01

No.

0:55:020:55:04

Stop it, stop it, stop it.

0:55:040:55:06

Dave Lovelace!

0:55:060:55:08

Get out here.

0:55:080:55:09

Take it for protection!

0:55:130:55:15

Hey, tell her... Tell her she's sweet.

0:55:150:55:17

-Shut up.

-Looks like you're in trouble, man.

0:55:180:55:20

Hey, Gail. Sorry, I didn't hear you.

0:55:200:55:23

-How you doing?

-You know we have an early start tomorrow.

0:55:230:55:25

Who are you, my wife?

0:55:250:55:27

You're on your last warning.

0:55:270:55:30

You're on your last warning. How about that?

0:55:310:55:33

I came here to apologise for giving you a hard time.

0:55:340:55:37

But now I'm not going to bother.

0:55:370:55:39

Your apology is rejected!

0:55:410:55:43

# If you need me

0:56:090:56:13

# I want you to call me

0:56:130:56:17

# Said if you need me

0:56:170:56:19

# All you gotta do is call

0:56:190:56:24

# If you want me

0:56:410:56:44

# Send for me

0:56:450:56:48

# I said if you want me, want me

0:56:480:56:52

# All you gotta do is send for me

0:56:520:56:56

# But don't wait too long

0:56:560:56:59

# Just to pick up your phone

0:56:590:57:03

# And I'll be home

0:57:030:57:07

# Where I belong. #

0:57:070:57:11

He's taking me out!

0:57:120:57:14

THE GIRLS SHRIEK

0:57:140:57:15

Taking you out? Is that what you flash ones call it?

0:57:150:57:19

No shame! She has no shame.

0:57:190:57:20

Honestly, Gail...

0:57:200:57:22

Don't stress about what you're going to wear.

0:57:220:57:24

You're not going to be wearing it long!

0:57:240:57:26

Going out with a black fella's not going to make you any blacker, Kay.

0:57:280:57:32

Oh, well, you never know.

0:57:320:57:34

You think you can walk away from your mob?

0:57:340:57:37

Live in the city for ten years making out you're a gubba

0:57:380:57:40

and then get up on stage and say you're a black fella

0:57:400:57:43

and that's all right?

0:57:430:57:44

Nah. It's not all right. Not with me.

0:57:450:57:48

Don't start me, Gail. I'm not going to do this now.

0:57:480:57:51

Oh, this poor little mission gin making the coconut shame, eh?

0:57:510:57:54

What did you call me?

0:57:540:57:57

Coconut?

0:57:570:57:58

Oh, sorry. Have I offended ya?

0:57:580:58:00

Don't go telling me what I am and what I'm not.

0:58:000:58:03

I didn't get a say in how things worked out for me.

0:58:030:58:07

So...you're black now?

0:58:070:58:09

Or you're white?

0:58:090:58:10

Well, you're black now you think there's money in it.

0:58:100:58:13

I know what I am.

0:58:130:58:15

-Yeah, but does Robby?

-DOOR OPENS

0:58:150:58:18

Gail?

0:58:470:58:49

Gail?

0:58:500:58:51

What was that about?

0:58:560:58:58

Kay's mum.

0:59:030:59:04

It's her birthday.

0:59:050:59:06

So we're doing a show for her...

0:59:080:59:09

..and we're on top of a truck.

0:59:120:59:13

And two black cars pull in.

0:59:180:59:20

Government fellas.

0:59:200:59:21

Run!

0:59:230:59:25

Go, go!

0:59:260:59:28

Come on, now! Get the kids away!

0:59:280:59:30

Mum and Dad screaming at us.

0:59:310:59:33

"Kids, get across the river!"

0:59:340:59:36

I don't get it. What did they want?

0:59:380:59:40

The children.

0:59:400:59:41

It's my responsibility, Dave, to look after the little ones

0:59:430:59:46

because I'm the oldest.

0:59:460:59:48

Hurry up!

0:59:480:59:49

I'm not to let them out of my sight, especially not Kay.

0:59:490:59:52

Why Kay?

0:59:520:59:54

If you're fair like Kay,

0:59:540:59:56

them fellas reckon she could pass for white.

0:59:560:59:58

Leave them kids alone!

0:59:581:00:00

Take her from her family,

1:00:001:00:01

put her in an institution, teach her white ways.

1:00:011:00:03

Pretty soon, there'll be no black fellas left to worry about.

1:00:041:00:07

Kay...

1:00:081:00:09

And then, erm...Kay got sick.

1:00:091:00:11

I mean...real sick.

1:00:121:00:14

We're scared it's pneumonia, so we take her to town,

1:00:151:00:19

to hospital.

1:00:191:00:20

And...

1:00:221:00:23

And that's when we find out them government fellas have been back.

1:00:241:00:27

Where's Kay?

1:00:271:00:28

They've taken Kay from the hospital bed.

1:00:281:00:31

You've got to speak to me! Say something to me!

1:00:311:00:33

Where's my baby little girl?

1:00:331:00:35

Where's Kay gone?

1:00:351:00:37

Kay!

1:00:371:00:38

Where are you, baby girl?

1:00:381:00:41

Speak to me!

1:00:421:00:43

"Kay..."

1:00:431:00:44

Say something to me!

1:00:441:00:45

"Where are you, Kay?"

1:00:451:00:46

No, I won't stop!

1:00:461:00:48

"Where's my girl?"

1:00:481:00:50

Where's Kay gone?!

1:00:501:00:51

You know, we didn't see Kay until her mum died.

1:00:531:00:56

They let her come home for the funeral.

1:00:561:00:58

And all she could say in all that time...

1:00:581:01:01

If you people worked as much as you fished,

1:01:011:01:03

you'd be really rich, you know?

1:01:031:01:05

And I've never been able to forgive her.

1:01:051:01:07

Or myself.

1:01:071:01:09

We should dance.

1:01:201:01:22

What?

1:01:231:01:25

It's a good time to dance.

1:01:261:01:27

Er...nah.

1:01:271:01:29

Come on.

1:01:291:01:30

I'll show you how to shake your moom.

1:01:301:01:32

Yeah, no, I've seen you shake your moom. It's not pretty.

1:01:331:01:36

I'm going to teach you the Lovelace Lanky Leg Shuffle.

1:01:361:01:40

No. If I start dancing like you,

1:01:401:01:42

the brothers there might think I'm a gubba.

1:01:421:01:44

You're saying, because I'm white, I can't dance. Is that it?

1:01:441:01:46

-Yep.

-Well, that's just racist.

1:01:461:01:49

You're a racist. You should know better.

1:01:491:01:52

Come on...

1:01:541:01:55

Just watch and learn. Don't be afraid.

1:01:561:01:59

It's all about the shoulders.

1:02:001:02:01

They don't belong to me. They belong to the music in my head.

1:02:011:02:05

-Nah.

-Deadly.

1:02:091:02:11

When we use that word "deadly", it usually means something's good.

1:02:111:02:15

Oooh.

1:02:151:02:16

You know, Gail, there's a funny thing about you.

1:02:211:02:24

Everybody thinks that you're just this...

1:02:241:02:27

this mouth on legs.

1:02:271:02:28

This defensive, argumentative old witch.

1:02:301:02:33

Stick with me.

1:02:331:02:35

There's a reason that you're this...

1:02:351:02:37

..terrible mouth and it's very simple.

1:02:381:02:42

You're mama bear...

1:02:441:02:46

..and they're your little baby cubs.

1:02:481:02:50

You been drinking?

1:02:581:02:59

No.

1:03:011:03:02

Come on, then, you silver-tongued wannabe.

1:03:061:03:08

I'll dance with ya.

1:03:091:03:11

Let me lead.

1:03:161:03:18

For once.

1:03:181:03:19

# These arms of mine

1:03:261:03:31

# They are lonely

1:03:331:03:35

# Lonely and feeling blue

1:03:391:03:43

# These arms of mine

1:03:441:03:47

# They are yearning

1:03:481:03:51

# Yearning from wanting you... #

1:03:541:03:58

You know, anyone can walk into a door.

1:04:001:04:02

Just as long as you ain't on the run or anything.

1:04:031:04:06

-Haven't broken the law, have you?

-Maybe.

1:04:061:04:09

I ain't going to tell nobody.

1:04:101:04:11

I'm pleased.

1:04:131:04:14

Man, I like you a whole lot, Kay.

1:04:171:04:19

Just so we're clear, Robby...

1:04:191:04:21

..I'm black.

1:04:221:04:24

I'm just...

1:04:241:04:25

..pale black.

1:04:261:04:28

Me, too.

1:04:281:04:30

Know how I feel?

1:04:341:04:35

I feel good.

1:04:361:04:38

Ow...!

1:04:421:04:44

You OK?

1:04:441:04:45

No, it hurts.

1:04:451:04:47

Do it again.

1:04:501:04:51

Just on this side.

1:04:511:04:53

# Oooh

1:04:571:04:59

# Mmmm

1:04:591:05:00

# I know a place, mmm

1:05:021:05:05

# Ain't nobody cryin'

1:05:071:05:09

# Ain't nobody worried

1:05:111:05:13

# Ain't no smilin' faces

1:05:151:05:18

# Lyin' to the races

1:05:201:05:22

# Help me

1:05:261:05:27

# Come on

1:05:271:05:28

# Come on, somebody, help me now

1:05:291:05:31

# Oh, help me, y'all

1:05:331:05:36

# I'll take you there

1:05:361:05:38

# Mmm

1:05:381:05:39

# Help me now

1:05:391:05:40

# I'll take you there

1:05:401:05:42

# I'll take you there

1:05:451:05:47

# Oh, mercy... #

1:05:471:05:50

Come on, sweet tits. We got to move.

1:05:501:05:51

So...this is goodbye.

1:05:561:05:59

-Huh?

-Me and the guys will be leaving you folks today.

1:05:591:06:01

I just have to say it's been a real pleasure.

1:06:011:06:03

What? You're leaving us here? On our own?

1:06:031:06:05

-Not if I had my way, ma'am.

-How do we get to our next gig?

1:06:051:06:08

I...

1:06:081:06:09

Sorry, ma'am. I thought you knew.

1:06:121:06:13

The military's approved the use of a vehicle for you.

1:06:131:06:16

In that?

1:06:181:06:20

What about the band?

1:06:201:06:21

Ma'am, I understand your band is being pulled out also.

1:06:211:06:24

Dave?

1:06:281:06:30

Myron, hi. Listen, it's Dave. What's happening, bro?

1:06:351:06:37

They've taken away our military escort and our backing band.

1:06:371:06:40

I can't accept that.

1:06:401:06:41

Dave, we've already talked about this.

1:06:411:06:44

Wait. When?

1:06:441:06:46

Last week on the phone.

1:06:461:06:48

-Don't screw this up on me!

-Do you hear me?

1:06:481:06:51

Now, a colleague of mine, Lou McGary,

1:06:511:06:53

is touring from the States.

1:06:531:06:55

Some big names. He wants to hear Julie sing.

1:06:551:06:57

Man, I think we got us a star in the making here.

1:06:571:07:00

-What's so special about Julie?

-Shh!

1:07:001:07:02

You need to get yourselves to Nha Trang.

1:07:021:07:04

I'm going to get Lou on a military flight.

1:07:041:07:06

We got to get Julie in front of this guy.

1:07:061:07:07

Myron, explain to me how we're going to gig without Hendo and the band.

1:07:071:07:11

-Where's Hendo and the band?

-Shh!

1:07:111:07:12

Man, forget about them, man. They're out of the picture.

1:07:121:07:15

We got a ten-piece in Nha Trang that's nothing but class, baby.

1:07:151:07:18

No, wait, wait... Myron, wait!

1:07:181:07:20

If you want the breaks, you've got to make 'em, man.

1:07:201:07:23

And then you got to take 'em, baby!

1:07:231:07:24

Julie could put us on the map, Stateside.

1:07:241:07:26

You dig what I'm saying?

1:07:261:07:28

Now, you want to stand in the way of success?

1:07:281:07:30

Then you go right ahead.

1:07:301:07:31

No, Myron...

1:07:311:07:32

Myron?

1:07:341:07:35

My...?

1:07:361:07:38

-You don't remember, do ya?

-I do. I...

1:07:381:07:40

Erm...

1:07:411:07:43

It's coming back to me. He said, er...

1:07:431:07:45

..something about, you know, Nha Trang and, erm...

1:07:461:07:50

What?

1:07:501:07:52

How smashed were you when you let Myron talk you into this?

1:07:521:07:55

I'm sorry.

1:07:581:08:00

Yeah. Sure.

1:08:001:08:02

Sir, you might find a use for this.

1:08:141:08:16

You'd better give that to me.

1:08:221:08:24

Bye, ladies.

1:08:361:08:37

Good luck!

1:08:381:08:40

Truly, Cyn. I can't see how he's a great loss.

1:08:571:09:01

All Hendo did was feed you booze and drugs and take advantage of ya.

1:09:011:09:04

Gail, there isn't a soldier in Vietnam

1:09:041:09:06

who isn't stoned out of his brain all the time.

1:09:061:09:09

Yeah, well, don't forget he had a wife.

1:09:091:09:11

-How do you know?

-Cyn, there's always a wife.

1:09:111:09:14

Not always.

1:09:141:09:16

Dave, you're not married, are you?

1:09:171:09:20

What?

1:09:201:09:21

-Are you married?

-What?

1:09:231:09:25

What? Are you married?

1:09:251:09:27

No.

1:09:281:09:29

Yes.

1:09:331:09:34

Oh, holy mother of God.

1:09:351:09:37

-Shit.

-All right...

1:09:391:09:40

MAN SHOUTS IN VIETNAMESE

1:09:431:09:45

They want us to get out.

1:09:451:09:47

-Do you want the gun?

-Shit, no! No.

1:09:471:09:49

-HE SHOUTS IN VIETNAMESE

-OK, nice and easy.

1:09:491:09:52

All right...

1:09:561:09:58

We're not soldiers.

1:09:581:09:59

Entertainers. Come on.

1:10:011:10:03

Er, singers, you know?

1:10:031:10:05

Girls, sing something.

1:10:051:10:07

Anything.

1:10:081:10:10

# Sadie, the cleaning lady... #

1:10:131:10:16

THEY GASP

1:10:161:10:17

IN HER NATIVE LANGUAGE:

1:10:231:10:25

Go.

1:10:421:10:44

Girls! Come on, girls.

1:10:491:10:51

HE BARKS ORDERS IN VIETNAMESE

1:10:511:10:54

Where do I go?

1:10:561:10:58

Just drive.

1:10:581:11:00

Hey, Julie. Can you come here for a sec?

1:11:141:11:16

This is the guy I want you to meet. His name is Lou McGary, OK?

1:11:161:11:20

Hey, Lou. This is Julie McCrae.

1:11:201:11:23

Lou-Lou, miss. I have heard so much about you.

1:11:231:11:27

She's got some pipes on her, Lou.

1:11:271:11:29

-Wait till you hear this girl.

-I bet she does.

1:11:291:11:31

Looks like I found me a star.

1:11:311:11:33

# One, two, three!

1:11:351:11:37

# One, two, three!

1:11:381:11:39

# You got to know how to pony

1:11:471:11:49

# Like Bony Maronie

1:11:501:11:52

# Mashed potato

1:11:531:11:54

# Do the alligator

1:11:551:11:57

# Put your hands on your hips

1:11:581:12:00

# And let your backbone slip

1:12:001:12:02

# Do the Watusi

1:12:031:12:05

# Like my little girl Lucy

1:12:061:12:07

# Na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na

1:12:111:12:15

# Na-na-na-na

1:12:151:12:17

# Na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na

1:12:191:12:23

# Na-na-na-na

1:12:231:12:25

# Yeow!

1:12:251:12:27

# I feel it

1:12:341:12:35

# Na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na

1:12:551:12:59

# Na-na-na-na

1:12:591:13:01

# Na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na

1:13:031:13:07

# Na-na-na-na... #

1:13:071:13:09

That's it, Cyn. No more.

1:13:091:13:11

What the heck was that all about?

1:13:111:13:12

She's right. You're making us look like crap.

1:13:121:13:14

What's your problem? They love me out there.

1:13:141:13:16

Maybe you should just pull it back a bit.

1:13:161:13:18

Now, let's get back on stage.

1:13:181:13:20

Nah.

1:13:201:13:21

Not with her.

1:13:211:13:22

You've been drinking, Cyn, and there's too much at stake tonight.

1:13:221:13:25

What are you doing? Sacking me?

1:13:271:13:29

-Dave?

-I'll decide.

1:13:311:13:34

Well, I think we should all decide.

1:13:341:13:36

Cyn, we're doing it without ya.

1:13:371:13:41

Right... decision made.

1:13:421:13:44

Gail...!

1:13:471:13:48

I'll make you proud of me, bub.

1:13:531:13:55

Gail? Gail?

1:14:011:14:02

Hold on one sec.

1:14:021:14:04

I just wanted to say I...

1:14:041:14:06

I thought you dealt with that really well.

1:14:061:14:08

No, I mean it. You know, it was a tough call and...

1:14:081:14:12

you're obviously getting really good at this.

1:14:121:14:14

It's...

1:14:141:14:15

Gail, the whole marriage thing,

1:14:161:14:18

it's probably not as bad as it sounds.

1:14:181:14:20

I mean it.

1:14:201:14:21

Listen, there's me with, like, a house and a wife

1:14:211:14:26

and me not yet 21 and her no lover of the rock and roll

1:14:261:14:29

and I'm out on the rip.

1:14:291:14:31

It was an unholy alliance.

1:14:311:14:33

But I probably should have mentioned it.

1:14:341:14:37

Yeah, you should have.

1:14:371:14:39

Wait, wait, Gail, before you go.

1:14:391:14:41

I wanted to talk to you about something.

1:14:421:14:45

So I wrote it down.

1:14:461:14:48

No, er...the thing is, Gail...

1:14:491:14:53

..I was never good enough.

1:14:561:14:58

I was never good enough at music...

1:14:591:15:02

..and certainly not at life and that's a...

1:15:031:15:06

..that's a hard thing to take.

1:15:071:15:08

Because I didn't have a place

1:15:111:15:13

and then I met these crazy Aboriginal girls...

1:15:131:15:16

..and one amazing woman and I had a place...

1:15:181:15:21

and I liked it.

1:15:211:15:23

So...

1:15:251:15:26

..if I've ruined all of that, then I'm an idiot.

1:15:271:15:29

But you knew that already.

1:15:311:15:33

No, don't look at it now.

1:15:361:15:37

For the love of God. Just, er...

1:15:371:15:39

..read it when I'm not around.

1:15:411:15:43

I'm sorry.

1:15:471:15:49

I'm sorry.

1:15:501:15:52

FLARE EXPLODES

1:15:581:15:59

INCOMING BOMB WHISTLES

1:16:031:16:06

Get down!

1:16:081:16:10

-What's happening?!

-We're under attack!

1:16:121:16:14

We're calling in the choppers.

1:16:151:16:17

-What?

-We're going to get you out of here.

1:16:171:16:19

Let's go!

1:16:191:16:21

You three, with me. Get over there!

1:16:211:16:23

Go, go! Get to the chopper!

1:16:251:16:27

Keep moving! Keep moving!

1:16:291:16:31

Gail!

1:16:331:16:35

EXPLOSIONS AND GUNFIRE

1:16:351:16:38

Go! Move it, move it, move it!

1:16:471:16:49

Inside. Get in. Go!

1:16:521:16:54

Where's Julie and Kay?

1:16:551:16:57

OK, I've got to go get the girls.

1:16:571:16:59

Julie!

1:17:031:17:05

Kay!

1:17:051:17:06

RAPID GUNFIRE

1:17:061:17:08

Dave!

1:17:191:17:21

Dave!

1:17:221:17:24

HE CRIES OUT IN AGONY

1:17:271:17:30

-I need your help.

-Shit!

1:17:301:17:31

Didn't you say you had medical experience? Here, hold this.

1:17:311:17:34

I clean a hospital. I don't think it counts.

1:17:341:17:36

Then you can clean up here.

1:17:361:17:38

Get your nigger hands off me!

1:17:391:17:41

Keep that black dog away from me.

1:17:451:17:47

Shhh...

1:18:121:18:14

"Now, I know it might seem a little odd that I write a letter...

1:18:381:18:44

"..but certain things are best said from a distance,

1:18:461:18:50

"especially when you're addressing a woman

1:18:501:18:51

"who thinks she's Cassius Clay.

1:18:511:18:54

"Gail, from the moment we got kicked out of that pub together,

1:18:551:18:59

"I knew you were someone I wanted in my life.

1:18:591:19:03

"Someone to fight the good fight with

1:19:031:19:06

"and often against.

1:19:061:19:08

"You just had something... and I knew it.

1:19:091:19:12

"Don't ask me how or why, because I couldn't tell you.

1:19:121:19:16

"All I know is...

1:19:161:19:18

"like the first time I heard Otis Redding sing These Arms Of Mine...

1:19:181:19:21

"..I knew life would never be the same again.

1:19:221:19:25

"And this is the effect that you've had on me, Gail.

1:19:281:19:30

"So, that being said...

1:19:301:19:33

"..it would be a great honour

1:19:361:19:38

"if you would allow me to become part of your family.

1:19:381:19:40

"I would be proud to call your sisters my sisters

1:19:421:19:46

"and your mother my mother...

1:19:461:19:49

"..and your family...my family."

1:19:501:19:53

Get to the point, blast it!

1:19:531:19:56

"I guess what I'm saying is, will you marry me?

1:19:561:19:59

"Once I've sorted my other little situation out,

"will you marry me, then?"

"There, I've said it.

1:20:071:20:09

"Well, I've written it.

1:20:091:20:10

"You don't have to answer straight away.

1:20:101:20:13

"I don't mind waiting until we get back home.

1:20:511:20:55

'Martin Luther King...'

1:20:561:20:58

Let me tell you how it is for a black Marine in Saigon tonight.

1:20:591:21:03

His home is burning and here he sits in hell

1:21:031:21:07

while his brothers and sisters are dying in the streets.

1:21:071:21:10

It's reasonable to assume that he might begin to question

1:21:121:21:14

what the hell he's fighting for.

1:21:141:21:16

These Marines...they need something.

1:21:171:21:20

They need what you can provide and they need it tonight.

1:21:221:21:25

I know you're hurting, but I need you to sing.

1:21:251:21:28

Gail...are we going to do this?

1:21:291:21:32

Excuse me, you want something?

1:21:341:21:36

Excuse me, sir, I have phone call for her.

1:21:361:21:38

Hello?

1:21:431:21:45

It's Mum.

1:21:471:21:49

Mum, how did you know where to find us?

1:21:501:21:53

That Dave fella fixed it all last week.

1:21:531:21:56

He's a deadly fella, that one.

1:21:561:21:58

You give him a big kiss for me.

1:21:581:22:00

Yeah.

1:22:011:22:02

Auntie Gerry?

1:22:041:22:06

It's me, Kay.

1:22:061:22:07

You're a good girl, bub.

1:22:081:22:10

Your mum would be so proud of ya.

1:22:101:22:12

Cyn...

1:22:121:22:14

I made the biggest mistake of my life, Cyn.

1:22:171:22:19

-Jimmy?

-I want to fix it.

1:22:191:22:21

Well, you should've thought about that before, eh?

1:22:211:22:24

I've got fellas lining up to suck my ring off,

1:22:241:22:26

so put Mum back on the phone and leave me alone, blast ya!

1:22:261:22:29

You know what I want to hear.

1:22:361:22:38

THEY SING IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE

1:22:391:22:43

-MARTIN LUTHER KING:

-And I've looked over

1:22:481:22:50

and I've seen the promised land.

1:22:501:22:54

I may not get there with you,

1:22:561:22:58

but I want you to know tonight

1:22:581:23:01

that, we as a people,

1:23:011:23:03

will get to the promised land.

1:23:031:23:05

So I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything.

1:23:061:23:10

I'm not fearing any man.

1:23:101:23:12

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.

1:23:121:23:16

# Oh-oh

1:23:221:23:24

# I wonder why

1:23:241:23:29

# Why do we live in hate?

1:23:331:23:36

# Stepping on our own without a warning

1:23:381:23:41

# And then turn and walk away

1:23:411:23:43

# When people make the world

1:23:431:23:48

# A better place for us to live in, yeah

1:23:481:23:51

# When people make this world

1:23:521:23:56

# A better place to live in

1:23:561:24:02

# Oooh

1:24:021:24:08

# Mmm

1:24:091:24:11

# Whoa, whoa

1:24:151:24:18

# Times life might bring you down

1:24:191:24:23

# To a shadow on this cold, black earth

1:24:231:24:27

# Cold black earth

1:24:271:24:28

# Even though, even though it hurts

1:24:281:24:30

# You must give yourself the right to go through another day

1:24:301:24:35

# Instead of worrying yourself sick

1:24:351:24:39

# Over things people say and do

1:24:401:24:42

# You should try to understand

1:24:431:24:48

# Life as you see fit

1:24:481:24:51

# And the world would be

1:24:521:24:56

# A better place

1:24:561:24:59

# And the world would be

1:25:011:25:04

# A better place

1:25:041:25:10

# Oooh

1:25:101:25:12

# Don't you know?

1:25:141:25:16

# People make this world

1:25:161:25:20

# A better place. #

1:25:211:25:25

All right?

1:26:001:26:02

All right.

1:26:021:26:03

I suppose we'll have to find a new piano player.

1:26:061:26:08

I don't much reckon you're going to find anyone

1:26:101:26:12

with such good dance moves.

1:26:121:26:13

What else have you got?

1:26:161:26:17

I'm very reliable.

1:26:201:26:21

Yeah, well...

1:26:221:26:24

we're a long way from home.

1:26:241:26:26

You'd better look after us.

1:26:271:26:29

All I want to do is look after you.

1:26:321:26:34

Come here a minute, then.

1:26:361:26:38

That's from Mum.

1:26:441:26:45

That's from me.

1:27:051:27:07

I liked your one the best.

1:27:121:27:14

Mum! Mum! They're here!

1:27:241:27:26

Dad!

1:27:311:27:32

Mum!

1:27:321:27:34

-Mum!

-Ah, come here.

1:27:341:27:36

My girls!

1:27:371:27:39

Dad! Dad!

1:27:401:27:41

How you going, girls?

1:27:411:27:43

SHE SPEAKS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE

1:27:501:27:54

Welcome home, my daughter.

1:28:431:28:45

-Robby'll be here next week, eh?

-Ah...!

1:29:031:29:05

Marriage, eh?

1:29:111:29:12

That's fine, I suppose.

1:29:141:29:15

But you're going to have to learn about ceremony and law.

1:29:171:29:20

You'll have to learn how to dodge spears and duck under boondies

1:29:201:29:22

and then we'll take you over there. Not there. There. Way over there.

1:29:221:29:25

-And you're going to be naked, too, right?

-Dad, cut it out!

1:29:251:29:28

Nah, gammin!

1:29:281:29:29

Want to come shooting?

1:29:301:29:32

-I am pretty deadly.

-You are.

1:29:391:29:42

-We don't have to live here, right?

-No, we don't.

1:29:421:29:44

-We'll go into the city.

-Sweet.

1:29:441:29:46
