# Worlds away from anyone

0:00:060:00:09

# They were burnin' themselves out in the sun

0:00:090:00:12

# There was just enough to get that far away

ALL: Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

'People have some weird fears, don't they?

0:00:500:00:53

'Philip is afraid of becoming like pop,

0:00:530:00:56

'wetting the bed till he's 110.

0:00:560:00:59

'Sarge is afraid of running out of rhymes.'

0:00:590:01:02

His words were bitter, just like lemon

0:01:020:01:05

He spat them out and cried to...to...

0:01:050:01:10

'Mum is afraid that everyone will look at her bum

0:01:120:01:15

'and think it's too big.

0:01:150:01:17

'Me? My fears aren't that weird.

0:01:180:01:21

'I'm afraid of getting beaten up by big hairy bogans, like Curtis.'

0:01:210:01:25

Hope you've said your prayers, Leonard.

0:01:250:01:27

Does anyone know why I'm here? Or how this all started?

0:01:270:01:32

Or why Curtis is as angry as a bee in a brown paper bag?

0:01:320:01:37

So did your mum say what was so important?

0:01:370:01:40

She just said I'd to ask you.

0:01:400:01:43

She baked a cake and everything. And mum never cooks.

0:01:430:01:45

I'll come straight over. Lockie, apple or orange?

0:01:450:01:48

WHISPERING: I've lost my voice.

0:01:480:01:51

You should have got out of your wet suit straight away.

0:01:510:01:53

Lockie and Vicki went water-skiing yesterday...

0:01:530:01:56

Aargh!

0:01:580:02:00

..and crashed and burned, and now they're not talking.

0:02:000:02:03

Philip!

0:02:030:02:04

What? You've lost your voice?

0:02:040:02:07

-I was just filling in the gaps.

-Have you done your assignment?

0:02:070:02:10

What assignment?

0:02:100:02:12

You have to make a speech in front of the whole class.

0:02:120:02:15

If you could be anyone for a day, who would it be?

0:02:150:02:18

Don't think I like that. What's wrong with being who you are?

0:02:180:02:22

So, you want me to pose for a sculpture?

0:02:240:02:26

I-I know it's late notice,

0:02:260:02:28

but the judging closes tomorrow. Cake?

0:02:280:02:31

'Apart from her bum, Mum was also afraid of hurting anyone's feelings.'

0:02:350:02:39

I'd be honoured to pose for you.

0:02:390:02:41

Oh, great!

0:02:410:02:43

Oh, you don't have to eat it.

0:02:450:02:48

BLOWS RASPBERRY

0:02:480:02:49

'And, if I'm honest,

0:02:490:02:51

'I probably should have said

0:02:510:02:53

'I'm also a bit afraid of Vicki Streeton.'

0:02:530:02:55

-You should have caught her straight away.

-I did!

0:02:550:02:58

BEES BUZZ

0:02:580:03:00

Bees?

0:03:020:03:03

But did you say you were sorry for being an idiot?

0:03:050:03:07

No. Because if you did, everything would be sweet.

0:03:070:03:10

But I was NOT an idiot.

0:03:100:03:12

It doesn't matter. That's just what you have to say.

0:03:120:03:16

Hurry up, Vicki, we've got a class to get on with!

0:03:200:03:23

Ha-ha, there's no class in here, Miss Twaddle!

0:03:230:03:26

Right! Heads on desks.

0:03:260:03:28

If you're going to act like children,

0:03:280:03:30

I'll act the grumpy school-teacher.

0:03:300:03:33

'Egg was right. I just need to say it. Tell her I'm an idiot.'

0:03:330:03:37

-HOARSELY: I know you think...

-What?

0:03:370:03:40

I'm a...

0:03:400:03:42

All right, let's hope you've used up

0:03:420:03:45

all your silliness for today. Heads up.

0:03:450:03:48

Who would you be?

0:03:510:03:53

BEES BUZZ

0:03:550:03:57

Since when does she hang round bogans like Curtis?

0:04:020:04:06

I thought you said you were gonna apologise for being an idiot.

0:04:070:04:10

HOARSELY: I tried.

0:04:100:04:12

What's that for?

0:04:130:04:15

'If only I'd known

0:04:200:04:22

'these few steps would put me into the face of my fear,

0:04:220:04:25

'maybe I would have had a chat to my feet.'

0:04:250:04:27

What do you want, wax-head?

0:04:270:04:29

"Dear Vicki,

0:04:340:04:35

"I'm an idiot." He's got that part right.

0:04:370:04:40

-THEY LAUGH

-Yeah!

0:04:400:04:41

"And I'm sorry that..."

0:04:410:04:43

The only time I ever want to see your face again

0:04:510:04:54

is when you bring me a new vanilla slice.

0:04:540:04:57

Got that?

0:04:570:04:59

Yeah!

Your mother just found out that

0:05:130:05:14

your mother needs to sculpt her in the nude for this competition.

Mum's got a bum thing.

0:05:200:05:22

'I should've rung Vicki straight away and apologised.

0:05:320:05:35

'I should've bought Curtis a new vanilla slice.

0:05:350:05:39

'Or alternatively,

0:05:390:05:41

'I should have just stayed in bed till I turned 18.'

Unless you're here to deliver me a new vanilla slice,

I'm gonna be very unhappy.

MIMICS GUITAR WITH VOICE

0:06:400:06:42

And what did you say?

0:06:450:06:46

-I just said, "Yeah, whatever."

-Oh, no.

-What?

0:06:460:06:49

You just agreed to fight Curtis tomorrow at four o'clock,

0:06:490:06:52

in the canteen after school. And you better not be late.

0:06:520:06:55

He said all that?

0:06:550:06:57

He specifically said in the canteen after school?

0:06:570:06:59

-MIMICS GUITAR WITH VOICE

-In the canteen.

0:06:590:07:05

After school.

0:07:050:07:07

There is another option.

0:07:090:07:10

You can tell Mum and Sarge and then they'd stop it.

0:07:100:07:13

HOARSELY: No way.

0:07:130:07:14

And if you tell them, I'll be using your head for practice, alright?

0:07:140:07:18

-HE SIGHS

-I don't want you to go, Lockie.

0:07:220:07:24

-I'll be OK.

-But he's 15.

0:07:240:07:27

And he's big.

0:07:270:07:28

Go to sleep, Philip.

0:07:280:07:31

20 hours till showdown, Leonard.

0:07:320:07:34

'If I could be anyone, who would I be?'

0:07:390:07:42

ALL: FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

0:07:420:07:45

'Maybe a man of peace - Ghandi, or some Indian guru.

0:07:450:07:49

'Just zap him with my kindness. Have him eating right outta my hand.'

0:07:500:07:55

HE GRUNTS

0:07:570:07:58

HE ROARS

0:07:580:08:00

'Or not!

0:08:010:08:03

'In which case, I should be a boxer. Muhammad Ali!

0:08:030:08:06

'Gotta float like a butterfly,

0:08:060:08:08

'sting like a bee.

0:08:080:08:09

'Or maybe Philip's right. Maybe I should tell Sarge.'

0:08:090:08:12

Sarge!

0:08:120:08:15

Sarge!

0:08:150:08:18

You're supposed to come when I call you.

0:08:180:08:20

-Would you stop blathering on?!

-It's my dream.

0:08:200:08:23

I don't care! Four o'clock, Leonard. Four o'clock.

0:08:230:08:27

'Eight and a half hours to go.' HE SIGHS

0:08:290:08:32

You are a bit hot.

0:08:320:08:35

D'you think you should stay home?

0:08:350:08:38

I-I dunno, Mum.

0:08:380:08:40

It's OK to be scared, Lockie.

0:08:400:08:43

I know you don't like making speeches.

0:08:450:08:47

Sometimes, they say, it's better to face your fear.

0:08:500:08:53

Yeah, I know.

0:08:530:08:55

Hmm - always sounded like a load of tripe to me, too.

0:08:550:08:58

And you know what? I will support you if you want to stay at home.

0:08:580:09:03

I think it's a silly assignment, anyway.

0:09:030:09:06

Well, that's it, then.

0:09:060:09:07

We're both staying at home.

0:09:070:09:10

Hmm. Won't be able to pose for Mrs Eggleston's sculpture now. Shame.

0:09:100:09:16

-So, Leonard chickened out!

-CROWS LIKE A CHICKEN

0:09:190:09:22

'Word was out.

0:09:220:09:25

'I was home in bed with a bad case of gutlessness.

0:09:250:09:28

'And it looked like I'd given it to Mum, too.'

0:09:280:09:30

I'm so sorry, but I'm afraid Lockie's home sick

0:09:300:09:33

and I couldn't leave him.

0:09:330:09:36

Yes, you can.

0:09:360:09:37

Really, I don't think...

0:09:370:09:42

I'm going to school.

0:09:420:09:43

Yes, that was him. He seems to have made a recovery.

0:09:440:09:48

Oh, good, OK...

0:09:510:09:53

I'll see you at four.

0:09:530:09:55

You gotta face the fear, Mum.

0:09:570:09:59

And that's why I'd be Oprah Winfrey's dog.

0:10:010:10:04

SLOW CLAPPING

0:10:040:10:07

I had a late note.

0:10:100:10:11

-Gave it to Mr Flint.

-Good-o.

0:10:110:10:12

Staying home was the smartest thing you've done all day.

0:10:160:10:20

And now you've stuffed that up, too.

0:10:200:10:23

I know about the fight.

0:10:230:10:25

-I'm gonna stop it.

-Vicki, you're required at the Principal's office.

0:10:250:10:28

Your father's waiting to see you.

0:10:280:10:30

-My dad's not meant to be home till tomorrow.

-Immediately, please!

0:10:300:10:34

And Vicki, I think you'd better take your bag.

0:10:340:10:38

Mr Leonard, just enough time for you to do your assignment.

0:10:390:10:43

Who would you rather be?

0:10:450:10:48

LOCKIE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:10:510:10:53

In choosing someone, there were many things I wanted to have.

0:10:530:10:57

Like, characteristics.

0:10:570:11:00

But I couldn't work out who had them all.

0:11:000:11:02

First off, I tried to think of someone who was fearless.

0:11:060:11:10

But Mum said some fears are healthy,

0:11:100:11:12

otherwise we'd all go around picking up spiders.

0:11:120:11:15

Then, I thought, maybe it'd be better if I was someone who's brave.

0:11:150:11:20

CROWD: Fight! Fight! Fight!

0:11:200:11:22

Brave people still get scared.

0:11:220:11:24

Like Sarge, sometimes he has to do scary stuff,

0:11:240:11:28

but he does it anyway.

0:11:280:11:30

Cos he knows it's the right thing to do.

0:11:300:11:32

Fight! Fight! Fight!

0:11:320:11:34

Hope you've said your prayers, Leonard.

0:11:390:11:41

And maybe that's the key -

0:11:470:11:49

knowing what's worth doing and what's not.

0:11:490:11:52

And the brave bit is not caring if anyone thinks you're a coward.

0:11:540:11:57

BELL RINGS

0:11:590:12:01

And that's what I was going to tell Curtis...

0:12:010:12:03

if he'd only given me a chance.

0:12:030:12:05

I can't show you exactly what happened.

0:12:110:12:14

Can't stomach it again.

0:12:140:12:15

But this is it in interpretive dance.

0:12:150:12:17

On skates.

0:12:170:12:19

I will be played by Sarge cos he's brave.

0:12:220:12:25

CROWD CHEERS

0:12:250:12:28

Curtis will be played by himself

0:12:280:12:30

cos he's a bogan.

0:12:300:12:31

How many bee stings?

0:13:370:13:39

Three, four, five?

0:13:390:13:43

OK, we're done here.

0:13:440:13:46

Does it look bad?

0:13:480:13:49

What are you going to tell Sarge?

0:13:550:13:58

It was an accident.

0:13:580:13:59

We were playing handball and I was running backwards.

0:13:590:14:02

I just don't understand why there were bees at school.

0:14:020:14:05

They used to be part of the biology course,

0:14:050:14:07

until Lockie crashed into them.

0:14:070:14:09

Stop eating all those jubes, Philip, you'll be sick.

0:14:090:14:13

TELEPHONE RINGS

0:14:130:14:15

Get that would you, please, Philip?

-DOORBELL TUNE PLAYS

-That'll be Wingnut.

0:14:190:14:21

So, how did it go?

0:14:270:14:28

How did what go?

0:14:280:14:30

The assignment.

0:14:300:14:31

You made the speech, even though you were just a little bit fearful.

0:14:310:14:35

It was all right.

0:14:350:14:36

But it was good to do it, wasn't it? Just to get out there.

0:14:360:14:39

You know, not hiding at home, just doing it.

0:14:390:14:42

Yeah, it was great.

0:14:420:14:44

Oh, you don't seem very happy about it.

0:14:440:14:46

These bee stings are sort of distracting me

0:14:460:14:49

from my happiness, Mum.

0:14:490:14:50

I just want to go for a surf and forget today ever happened.

0:14:510:14:54

Vicki's on the phone.

0:14:540:14:56

What?!

0:14:580:14:59

-Hello?

-I'm not even supposed to be using the phone.

0:15:050:15:08

I just had to make sure that...

0:15:080:15:11

FOOTSTEPS

0:15:110:15:13

'..that you were OK.'

0:15:130:15:15

'Yeah. Terrible accident, really.'

0:15:170:15:20

Well, I'm grounded, in case you care.

0:15:200:15:22

-How come?

-Because of what Curtis' mate did to Dad's table.

0:15:220:15:25

They shouldn't have been here while Mum and Dad were away.

0:15:250:15:28

-Oh, good-o.

-I'm gonna go.

0:15:280:15:31

Well...

0:15:310:15:32

'OK.'

0:15:340:15:35

Sometimes you just need to get away,

0:15:580:16:00

where there's just the sun, the sand, the surf

0:16:000:16:03

and no-one to mess with your head.

0:16:030:16:06

Until some noodle tells you Curtis reckons

0:16:070:16:10

he's going to beat you up every day till Christmas.

0:16:100:16:12

Not great news.

0:16:120:16:14

Almost as scary as the jumble in my head about Vicki.

0:16:140:16:18

You can't hide in bed all day. Get up.

0:16:190:16:22

You've got penance to pay.

0:16:220:16:24

What did I do in my sleep last night to get me into trouble with Sarge?

0:16:290:16:33

Did you tell them about the fight?

0:16:370:16:39

Only the bit about Curtis beating you up every day until Christmas.

0:17:140:17:17

That, that, that's great.

0:17:170:17:18

-That's great, isn't it?

-No, Sarge, I'm in the nude!

0:17:180:17:21

With my big, back veranda exposed for everyone to look at.

0:17:210:17:25

Well, there is that.

0:17:260:17:27

BANGING

0:17:270:17:29

Oh, I forgot. I've got Curtis in the back of the paddy wagon.

0:17:290:17:32

Curtis is here?

0:17:320:17:34

'Sarge never comes at things head on.

0:17:340:17:36

'He likes to sneak up on problems.

0:17:360:17:39

'Give them a touch of showbiz.'

0:17:390:17:41

Right. Two coats ought to do it.

0:17:410:17:43

Oh, nearly forgot.

0:17:440:17:45

Here are your brushes.

0:17:450:17:47

Are you for real?

0:17:480:17:49

Am I prone to making jokes, Lochlan?

0:17:560:17:58

Never made a joke in your life.

0:17:580:18:00

Never made a joke in your life, who?

0:18:000:18:02

Sir! Never made a joke in your life, sir!

0:18:020:18:05

Now, I don't know about you, Curtis...

0:18:100:18:12

but I know Lochlan!

0:18:140:18:15

So I'm assuming he started this.

0:18:150:18:18

But you could've turned the other cheek.

0:18:200:18:23

Now, Monday morning, if you two are thinking of moving in to round two,

0:18:240:18:29

oh, you'll be back in here Monday night.

0:18:290:18:32

Nice one, Sarge. There's one problem with the plan though.

0:18:400:18:44

He can see through the bars.

0:18:440:18:46

Curtis is going to see that I'm not painting.

0:18:460:18:49

No, he won't.

0:18:490:18:50

I'm not going to use the word "disappointed".

0:18:550:18:59

There are very few reasons in this life to raise your fists, Lockie,

0:18:590:19:03

and Curtis is not one of them.

0:19:030:19:05

You almost had the right idea by staying at home.

0:19:110:19:13

Yeah. That's what Vicki said.

0:19:130:19:15

Smart girl, that.

0:19:150:19:17

Complicated but smart.

0:19:170:19:20

She phoned again, by the way.

0:19:220:19:24

Maybe you'd like to go round...

0:19:250:19:28

once you've finished painting.

0:19:280:19:30

'Pssst! Vicki!'

0:19:350:19:36

I have to make sure every shrub is the exact same height.

0:19:400:19:43

To the millimetre.

0:19:430:19:44

Umm...quick! Get in the recycle bin.

0:19:470:19:50

-What?

-Oh, they never use it. It's just for show.

0:19:500:19:52

That section's a little bit higher than the rest, kitten.

0:20:000:20:03

He doesn't get it, does he?

0:20:090:20:10

Get what?

0:20:100:20:11

It's weird to go away and leave you.

0:20:110:20:13

I don't know if you can talk about being weird.

0:20:130:20:16

Well, some bogan got all hot and sweaty over my girlfriend

0:20:160:20:19

and then decided to beat my head in.

0:20:190:20:21

Is that what I am? Your girlfriend?

0:20:210:20:23

I don't know.

0:20:240:20:25

Mostly, you're my confusion.

0:20:260:20:29

I just get sick of being good all the time.

0:20:290:20:31

I'm confused already. I thought we were talking about the Curtis thing?

0:20:310:20:35

Yeah, I am. I knew they would chuck a fit if I invited him over.

0:20:350:20:38

But they weren't here.

0:20:380:20:40

Maybe I wanted you to chuck a fit too.

0:20:400:20:42

I said stuff like I loved you and you didn't say it back.

0:20:420:20:46

Yeah, but you say that you love heaps of stuff, Vicki.

0:20:460:20:49

You love fishing, you love falling asleep in front of the telly,

0:20:490:20:52

you love nachos.

0:20:520:20:53

You're just being thick now.

0:20:530:20:55

'But I wasn't. I'm just not as complicated as Vicki.

0:20:550:20:58

'All this whole love thing.

0:20:580:21:00

'I realised what makes stuff scary.

0:21:000:21:02

'It's when you don't know what's going to happen.'

0:21:020:21:05

-Do you think you'll ever say it?

-I don't even know what it means yet.

0:21:050:21:09

Does this... Does this mean we can still hang out, or not?

0:21:120:21:16

All right, folks, it's showtime!

0:21:240:21:27

The winner of the sculpture prize,

0:21:270:21:29

with her very naturalistic piece entitled Mum,

0:21:290:21:33

Mrs Florence Eggleston.

0:21:330:21:35

Yeah, Mum!

0:21:350:21:38

Kiss. HE LAUGHS

0:21:420:21:44

OK...let's see it.

0:21:440:21:46

APPLAUSE

0:21:520:21:55

Ahh... Oh, it's inspirational, love.

0:21:560:22:00

It's around the wrong way! Come on! I thought I said bum to the wall!

0:22:010:22:05

Oh...I almost forgot.

0:22:050:22:08

I made you a card.

0:22:080:22:10

-Oh...

-"Mum...

0:22:100:22:13

"we love your bum."

0:22:130:22:16

And we do.

0:22:230:22:25

Quick, come on, quick, quick, quick! >

0:22:270:22:30

Oh-ho-ho, look at that!

0:22:320:22:34

I just don't think I'm happy with EVERY Tom, Dick and Harry

0:22:340:22:38

staring at my...back veranda.

0:22:380:22:41

You've gotta face the fear, Mum. Face the fear.

0:22:420:22:45

# Boy, it's breaking

0:22:560:22:59

# Underneath the wave of strength

0:22:590:23:03

# Hey, hey, hey

0:23:030:23:05

# Hey, hey, hey

0:23:060:23:08

# Worlds away from anyone

0:23:080:23:11

# They were burning themselves out in the sun

0:23:110:23:14

# There was just enough to kick the ball away. #
