Four units of whole blood and some more heme cell.
Right.
Stretch through the exam cubicle, please.
Theatre's set up. The institute's here.
Make it fast.
Sister Williams, you take care of the boy.
Was he in the car?
Yes, he was in the back wearing a seatbelt.
His mother wasn't, unfortunately.
What's your name?
He hasn't spoken a word. Shock, I expect.
Is this the little boy?
Yeah, Doc Elliott checked him out at the accident.
Um, he wants him put in the children's ward for observation.
Can you look after him?
What about the mother?
We're about to do a laparotomy to try and stop the bleeding.
I think his name might be Daniel.
At least that's what the poor woman was calling
before she blacked out.
Good day, HB.
Take an old skater for a walk, are you?
You can kick up the kerro, and I'll have me deposit back on the empty.
I'll take nothing up, and you can keep your empty.
It's worthless.
Oh, well, so is this sissy stuff.
You call it kerro these days.
Won't even light proper.
You shake so much, you can't even keep a match alight,
you silly old kid.
Oh, well, I'll go shopping elsewhere,
if that's the way you feel.
Hold on.
Oy!
Mr. Pickering, can you tell me the name of that tube?
What tube?
On the radio.
It has such a lovely uptempo.
What radio?
Feel like a bit of a bop to you, Esme?
A young thing like you wouldn't even know it.
Oh, it takes me back.
It does.
Back sounds like a pretty groovy place.
Can you hear it?
Maybe they turned it up.
Oh, oh, what a shame.
It's ended now.
Hey, drop that, you mongrel!
Come here!
This is the moment of wardrobe mistress
both desires and dreads, the costume!
Oh, it's true, Sarge.
I don't know what you got in this lot.
There you go, friend.
Dress up time, just don't lose touch with reality.
Ah, fill your nostrils with the dusty aroma of great theater.
I know, Sarge, and doesn't it make the pulse quicken?
I can see it all up in lights now.
Cops, the musical.
Hey, we're on our way.
We're up the knoll.
No, up the creek.
They've set the wrong costume.
Where are the police uniforms?
I don't know, in fact, this looks pretty authentic to me.
Oh, yeah, it's like a three-dollar nurse.
I was just saying.
Yes, all right, Bob, but it's not what we need, is it?
It's like the dress, Sarge, suits you.
Haven't you got some study?
Yeah, I am, I am, but, uh,
Skeeter here's gonna look after the place for me.
How do you come in here, then, mate?
Oh, the boy's got a silver tongue.
Well, in that case, you can take all this stuff
back where it came from.
There you go, Sarge.
Hey, Frank, Bob and I'll do that.
So what do we do now, darling?
Well, Miss Watson's the wardrobe mistress.
She can get on to the Burrigan Players and sort it out.
Yes, mate, you all right?
You don't look yourself.
Pardon?
You don't look well, you're not gonna collapse on me now, are you?
Oh, no, no, I'm just a bit tired.
I didn't sleep very well last night, normally.
It's so quiet with Dr. Kouros and Jessie in Melbourne.
Yes, yes, well, as long as you're okay.
Right.
I, uh, I didn't like to say, but I've got a new denture.
Oh, yes, yes, very nice.
Hmm, good, strong bite.
I mean, it's not very comfortable,
but I expect I'll wear it in.
Yes, I'm sure you will, as well.
Ah!
Huh?
It's occupied.
It's true.
You fools.
Remember the curse.
Yeah, Bob said, remember the curse.
They just pulled on our legs, wasn't it?
Ha-ha-ha, got you two drongos going, didn't he?
Frank.
Yeah.
There's been a robbery at Pickering's store.
A robbery? I'd better get over there.
Avoid Robertson Road.
It's closed due to burst water main.
Council workers in attendance.
Hey.
So, um, Ann doesn't want me in for the full shift,
just for the op.
Are you sure you'll be right to get a bus home?
How do you think I got around before I met you?
I'll come and pick you up.
Sook.
Please, Daniel, come out of there and we can talk.
Who's that?
I give up. He's terrified.
Who is he?
A child from the MVA, Daniel.
It's his mother in theater.
Oh, no.
Hello, Daniel.
My name's Lucy.
No one's gonna hurt you.
I know the accident must have been really scary,
but the doctors are looking after your mom now.
Oh, you must have come a long way.
Have you?
Where did you come from?
Okay, come on, Daniel.
I have to, um, I have to go and help your mom.
What's the time?
Oh, I think it's about 10.
10.06.
Is the time important?
Time important.
10.06.
Okay, come on, Daniel.
I'll help you come.
That's the way.
Why don't you go with Sister Williams
and I'll see what the other kids are doing.
Go on, off you go.
No.
Hurry with those sponges.
She's still taking cardiac.
125, BP 70, systolic.
I still can't find the source of this bleeding.
You're gonna have to pack the peritoneal cavity
until she stabilizes.
More sponges, please, and suction.
So, I know that I was head over the little boy.
I asked Williams to look after him.
Yeah, she's with him now.
How is she going?
She's in V-T and BP's dropping.
All right, lean the cane.
100 milligrams, please, Lucy.
Let's defibrillate.
Come on, lean the cane.
Coming.
And paddles, please.
200 volts, please, Anne.
All right.
Stand back, everyone.
All right, let's go again.
Oh, come on, you little boy needs you.
One, two, three, four, five.
Do you want some adrenaline?
Two, three, four.
Do you want another shock?
No, it's no good.
It's massive blood loss.
I'm going to withdraw treatment.
Get him away from here.
This is subject to reason about.
A convenient number to state.
We add seven and ten and then multiply out by 1,000.
The result we proceed to divide as you see by 992.
I bet you know this one.
T'was Brillig and the slithy toves
Did Gire and Gimble in the wave.
All mimsy were the borogos and the merm rests outgrave.
I'm sorry.
I've had it since I was a little girl.
Come on, Daniel, you can read it.
He took his vorpal sword in hand.
Long time the morm's own foe he sought.
So rested he by the tum-tum tree and stood awhile in thought.
I promise the carpet is two more minutes and then we'll get going with our pre-dress rehearsal.
It is really hard to feel like the showgirl with a heart of gold when you've got nothing to wear.
Esme and her wardrobe helpers are sorting out things for the girls.
I don't know what we're going to do about police uniforms.
We're waiting to hear back from Killer now.
Dabbling with the spirit world can be dangerous.
I'm serious about getting Esme up to a clover.
Thanks, Dave. What do you know about spirits?
Nothing, I only drink beer.
Not those spirits, voices from the grave and all that.
I don't know anything, but Anna, she reads thrillers and all that sort of stuff. Ask her.
Really?
What would I know?
About contacting the spirit world. We've got a friend who reckons she can do it.
I tell your friend to be very careful if I were you.
People who acquire powers of mediumship often don't have any control of the kinds of spirits
that contact them.
You mean they've got to take it as they get?
That's right. And if you don't know what you're doing, you can open the doors to powers you have no control over.
Good and bad.
Well, what a nasty, sarcastic piece of work he is.
Who is?
Oh, that weasel Killer Burke. He won't let any of the Burrigan police lend you uniforms.
That's it. Forget the whole thing.
A great musical talent squashed like a slug before I have a chance to strut my stuff up on the stage.
Think.
Oh.
Was really again the slitty-toes, did gyre and gimbal in the way,
or mimsy with the borograves, and the mermraths outgrave?
Listen, why don't you read me a different one, Daniel?
Was really again the slitty-toes, did gyre and gimbal in the way,
or mimsy with the borograves, and the mermraths outgrave?
Um, this is, uh, Daniel. Daniel?
This is Luke.
This is Luke. Yeah, nice to meet you, too.
He and his mother were in a car accident today.
Oh, I heard. Sorry.
Was really again the slitty-toes, did gyre and gimbal in the way,
or mimsy with the borograves, and the mermraths outgrave?
Daniel, how about we give it a rest for a minute, okay?
Mm. Mm.
He's, um, he's very distressed. Yeah, weird.
What did you want Matt for?
Oh, old skeeters in a bit of a state.
Seems his dog's been knocking off stuff,
and he's been trying to get it out.
Oh, no, Matt won't let them do that.
Yeah, well, that's what I figured, so I thought I'd bring HB over here tomorrow,
and we can hide him out in the surgery until the heat's off.
Okay. Yeah.
Hey, should he be ripping that?
Daniel? Daniel?
What? What do you think you're doing? How could you do that?
Yeah, well, uh, see you later, Lucy.
Yeah, bye, Luke.
No, no, look, look, Daniel, please.
Look, look at me. Look at me, Daniel.
Daniel, no, ow!
You know, it must be one of the hardest parts of your job,
telling relatives that the people they love are dead.
That's what Lucy's contending with at the moment.
So where is the father?
The police have contacted him in Darwin. He won't be here until tomorrow.
I'm gonna go and phone Lucy and let her know.
I'll have a small double, please.
Where are your penis?
I've been starting to think some mongrel might be exploiting your gifts.
It's more of a curse than a gift, Vernon.
The voices are worse when I'm on my own.
One of them's been trying to sell me used cars all the afternoon.
Sure it wasn't chariot, sis?
Although, if I shake my head very hard, I can turn it off.
Don't do that, don't do that.
That might get a fan and start blowing in somebody else's ears.
We've got it all worked out, you see.
You practice listening to the good ones, keep the bad ones shut out.
What bad ones?
Well, Anne Brennan said if you let the bad ones in,
they could take over your body. You want to keep them out.
Now, don't worry, love. If you get into any trouble,
we'll just lock you up in a cupboard until we get control of you.
Listen, it'll all be worth it.
We'll make a fortune picking daily doubles,
helping the police solve murders,
telling them where the stolen goods are.
Hey, you can even tell us.
There's good things to it,
like letting people know whether they're gonna get married or not,
whether they're gonna die or not.
I've never been one to meddle in people's affairs.
It's not fair.
I've kept myself to myself.
Now it's time to share yourself around, S.
Hey, when we get our cut, you'll be a rich woman.
No. Oh, did you get those gypsum stuff back?
Oh, look, I didn't want to tell you.
I, uh, thought I might scare you.
What?
Well, you see, when they open the box,
it's empty.
It's true.
Yeah, the mummy's walked all the other one.
Now, fair dinkum. And it's gonna be very upset, too.
It'll be looking for the people who disturbed its remains.
What a load of bull.
Isn't it, Anne?
That business about the curse, a lot of codswap, isn't it?
Well, apparently many ancient Egyptian tombs
have got curses on anyone who desecrates them.
Yes.
Poor Lord Carnarvon.
What happened to him?
Oh, he, uh, financed the excavation of King Toot's tomb
and died six weeks after it was opened.
Could have been a coincidence.
But ten other people closely connected to the expedition
died within ten years.
What did you start doing on these voices, S?
Last night, I don't...
Oh, no, I think it was this morning.
That's it?
That's right.
Well, do you remember the funny look on her face
when you opened that box?
Oh!
You had me down, Luke said, too.
The mummy's missing.
You don't think?
I do, S. I think it's got you.
I think you've got the mummy's curse.
Oh!
Sleep?
Finally.
He did everything, including standing on his head
to get there.
Doesn't look like it's gonna be any trouble for you.
I'm exhausted.
But I'm wound up.
It's not knowing what he's gonna do next.
Hmm.
He still hasn't had anything to eat or drink?
Nothing.
Think he would have spoken about his mother by now.
Hmm. It's like she never existed.
Oh, well, listen.
Come to bed.
Do you know how many pages there are
in my Lewis Carroll book?
I've normally got other things on my mind.
Me, too.
165.
He told me and I checked and he was right.
Uh-huh.
Am I missing something here?
Well, it's like he's focusing on every bit of trivia
he can find so as not to confront the death of his mother.
I did quite a bit of that myself when my mum died
and I was quite a big boy.
Well, I hope his father gets here soon.
Yeah, he's on his way.
Now, you hop onto these sheets, Lucy,
and you'll be ready to go. Thank you very much.
I guess he can't sleep.
Can't sleep.
I'll come and sit with you then, Daniel.
Don't do that. Don't do that.
Look, Dad's on the way.
Daniel.
Dad's on the way.

McDonald's Double Beef and Bacon

And it's here for a short mouth-watering time only.
Mm, mm, mm.
It's snack time.
Lucy, come and take a look at this.
Are you all right?
I don't know what you call all right,
but I have had enough.
Look, I'll deal with it.
You shouldn't have to deal with it.
All right, Daniel, what the devil's going on with you?
You didn't tell me about this.
Am I being unreasonable?
Just leave us alone and I'll fix it.
You shouldn't have to fix it. It's not your responsibility.
We're gonna have to take him back to the hospital.
Hang on, hang on. Just give us a bit more time here.
What's wrong?
Now, this may seem strange, Miss Watson,
but I'm sure there's a rational explanation.
Haven't slept a wink, Doctor.
Poor thing, you're exhausted.
Well, the voice is stopped about midnight,
but then I remembered what Vernon and Mr. Hatfield
had said about the curse of the mummy,
and I kept hearing footsteps, muffled footsteps.
I've got through to your dentist.
Does he think it's feasible?
I've never believed it, but he says,
with the close proximity of the radio transmitter,
the denture can act as an aerial
and the teeth act as a diode
to rectify the radio frequency signal.
Does that make sense?
It does indeed. I had a crystal radio set when I was a kid.
But you're the only person I've ever known
who had one inside a head.
He's going to alter your plate to stop the signals.
So I'm not channeling an ancient Egyptian.
Not that I could contact.
Well, I might have guessed
the ancients wouldn't have been preoccupied
with the traffic conditions of Wanda Mallee
or the price of retreats.
Now, why didn't you come to us sooner, Esme?
Well, if you recall, Matron,
you gave credence to Mr. Hatfield's theories
about spirits and curses.
They were asking about the curse of Tutankhamen.
I never realized...
Look, how about I make a little
and then you can look?
How about I make amends by helping you get your own back
on Bob and Cookie for giving you such a fright?
Count me in.
Oh, would you be interested
in the latest stock market report, Doctor?
...tell the best story...
...and get off.
Oh, what's going on here?
I will tell you.
Smoke.
Oh, my God.
Smoke.
Oh, what...
Oh.
Here, boy. HB.
Oh, come back, mate.
You saved me life.
Oh.
Yes, Bob, it's rather a large job.
That's right.
I'll be waiting for you next to the office.
Don't forget Cookie.
You will need to bring someone to help you move it.
Cookie will come?
Very sweet of him.
All right, see you later.
You think these will be sufficient, Doctor?
Oh, I don't know.
We're gonna need a lot to make it convincing.
What do you think, Anne?
Not nearly enough. You'll find some more old stock
at the back of the store's cupboard.
How did I end up in such a fiendish plot?
Just natural talent, Miss Watson.
Dr. Elliott, Sergeant Mark Bailey.
Oh, thanks, Frank.
Sergeant Bailey, how do you do? I'm Terrence Elliott.
Would you like to sit down?
I'm sorry about your wife.
We did all we could.
What happened?
She suffered from a positive internal hemorrhaging.
Her heart stopped.
We attempted resuscitation, but we couldn't save her.
Was she in pain?
No, no, no.
She lost consciousness shortly after the accident.
I can't believe this.
Your son came through unhurt, but he's in deep shock.
He isn't coping very well.
Sergeant Gunroy will be able to take you out to see him.
I suppose I'll be able to see him.
Well, yes.
As I said, Daniel's...
He hasn't accepted what's happened.
One of our senior nursing staff is looking after him at her home.
Is she equipped to handle him?
Well, she and her husband are both very fond of children.
Doctor, there's something you obviously don't know about my son.
Come on, Lucy. I hate guessing games.
What do you reckon's wrong with him?
Okay, listen to this.
The brain stem appears to act as a switching device for us
so that as data comes in through the sensors,
the brain stem prioritizes it and directs it to the area of appropriate response.
Like a big telephone extra?
Mm-hmm, that's right.
But you see, when something's wrong with the brain stem,
all the information rushes through without getting sorted out
and you suffer an enormous overload.
Can you imagine what that must be like?
A living hell.
What's it called?
Autism.
I think Daniel's autistic.
Daniel's autistic.
You see, that would explain everything.
He doesn't understand what we say.
I mean, he is capable of learning words,
but he doesn't know the appropriate time to use them,
so he parrots what we say.
Mm-hmm. What about this, this Weet-Pix wall?
Well, I think this is part of the shut-out behavior
that he uses to protect himself from overload.
I mean, how calm he is.
He's off in his own safe little world inside his circle.
Listen, can you do me a favor?
Sure.
Thanks.
Hey, boys!
HB!
Yeah, boy, HB!
Fuck, he's gone, eh?
Well, at least he's still got a home to live in.
Looks like all it needs is a thorough hose-out
and a fresh kind of paint to get rid of the smoky smell.
I don't see much point now.
Skeeter, you've gotta live somewhere.
Can't say I'm interested in that now, with HB gone.
He's better out of this burk anyway.
All I want to do is string him up
for the sake of a couple of cans of dog food.
No luck, eh?
No.
Mm-hmm.
No.
No sign of the dog,
but I did see some nice, fat rabbits.
Yeah, lots of nice, fat bunny rabbits.
Where you been, you stupid animal, eh?
Where you been, eh?
I think I found the reason HB didn't want to come home
to the caravan.
Get a whiff of these, will you?
You mind your business.
I was just drying them in front of the heater.
Yes, well, Skeeter,
something that looks like your long johns
would be the caro heater.
That's what started the fire.
That'll be right.
Here, boy.
Oh, and the side said if you return all those cans of dog food,
you'd let HB off this time.
Would he take a bottle of caro into consideration as well?
Well, he's been knocking off caro as well.
Thought we both better go straight from now on.
Hey, boy.
The Katie's All Out Sale prices have been reduced so much,

The future in sewing has arrived.
The Janome Memorycraft 8000.
It not only sews, but it can do five-color embroidery.
Take a look at this.
And there's hundreds of designs to choose from.
But you know the best part?
It's simple to use. Watch this.
Just insert the memory card, choose a design,
and press start.
The 8000 does the rest.
You got that?
Affirmative.
With Janome, the sewing machine of the future is here.

Lucy?
Lucy, this is Sergeant Bailey, Daniel's father.
Mark. Hello.
I'm your wife. Yeah, thanks.
I'll go and get Daniel. He'll be very glad to see you.
Hello.
Daniel, your dad's here.
You gonna say hello to your dad?
Hello, Dad.
What's the time?
I'll put the kettle on.
Can't be a time keeper, eh?
It's an obsession.
As soon as you break them all one, he starts another.
I haven't had to cope with a boy for six years.
Nothing's changed.
Don't start now, boy.
Don't start now.
What are we collecting?
Lost property. Lost property, eh?
She reckons we're gonna accumulate there for years.
There might be something worth a buck in there, mate.
Beauty. Just wants to get rid of it.
I'd better back the unit up to the door,
and you carry it out, mate.
Hang on. Remember my bad back.
Come on. When you get away,
you'll never be this way.
Look, have a hanky.
When you get off...
Oh, no.
Oh!
Anne? Anne, give me a hand.
Line flat and get his legs elevated.
Pulse is slow and weak.
Oh, Bob, I'm so sorry.
Oh, truth.
He's coming round.
Take his BP and get a fan on him.
Somebody get me out of these damn bandages.
Medical people should know better.
Are you all right, Vernon, dear?
Ed, Ed.
Call your mummy off,
and you might have to go in the freak show.
And there's no cure?
Well, they have statistics,
but, um, they have behavioral therapy
to help autistic people fit in,
but they don't know what causes it,
and they don't have a cure.
Can he feel anything, Lucy, emotionally?
Well, he's not a robot.
Well, okay, we're all receivers.
From the moment we're born, we're fed endless information,
whether we like it or not.
The brain is a biological computer.
Mm-hmm. To analyze that information,
to file it, to respond to it, the world makes sense to us.
Mm-hmm.
Now, autistic people are open to all that data,
just like we are, but they don't have the capacity
to deal with it, to organize it.
And there's people shouting at you in a foreign language.
Yep, something like that.
And all these fixed routines,
they're part of a defense mechanism, I suppose.
Yeah, you disrupt that routine and panic sets in.
Gonna be up to his father to establish a new routine for him.
Maybe.
Oh, Matthew, don't jump to conclusions.
Lucy, I watched Mark Bailey when he walked in here.
He treated Daniel as if he was a stranger,
as if that kid doesn't exist.
The man has just lost his wife.
For heaven's sake, he's in shock.
Now, if you're suggesting to me
that he doesn't care for his son, I don't believe you.
I hope you're right, Lucy.
Because right now,
he's all that Daniel's got.

Larry gets duped into buying Jennifer a phony engagement ring.
Next tonight on Southern Cross,
Tats Keno followed by your movie Alice.
He knows I'm waiting.
He knows I care.
That's nothing new.
My head says walk away.
My heart won't listen.
What can I do?
My boy in blue.
He knows I'm here.
He knows I'm waiting.
He knows I'm here.
He knows I'm waiting.
He knows I care.
That's nothing new.
My head says walk away.
My heart won't listen.
What can I do?
My boy in blue.
My head says walk away.
My heart won't listen.
What can I do?
My boy in blue.
My head says walk away.
I do my boy in blue.
He knows I'm here.
I'm waiting.
He knows I care.
That's nothing new.
What a heap of junk.
You know, one chorus too many, you asked me.
Oh, thanks a lot.
Rehearsals, 24 hours a day.
Even the cows are looking punch drunk.
Well, Frank talked me into doing the show.
I'm not sure he had to twist your arm.
Look, I could make a fool of myself out there.
Now, what do you think it does to my confidence
when I'm rehearsing and you put on ear muffs?
Remember me, the stage manager?
I know this show back to front.
I go to sleep at night and I dream about the show.
Enough is enough, Ann.
Look, it's nothing personal.
So what do you think?
RIP.
Huh.
Well, if he's still out, where is he?
You must know where he is.
You're the desk, Sergeant Terry.
Come on, you know where he is.
This is Frank Gilroy you're talking to, mate.
What's that supposed to mean?
Right, can we get ready for the opening number?
Everybody on stage.
Sorry, Sarge, you can't use the stage.
I'm the producer.
I can do anything I want.
You can't use the stage because we're still
painting the scene.
Why do you think I brought everybody down here
this morning so we could do the big numbers on the stage?
Well, it's not my fault.
I'm sorry, I rented you the place.
Calm down, Frank.
Is it too much to ask for a little cooperation?
Well, at least you've got half the cast here now.
That's an improvement.
What's happening about the uniforms?
Killer won't take my calls.
I don't understand it.
He was all for the show.
Great PR for the force, he said.
Now he's giving me the cold shoulder.
Well, what am I supposed to do?
I mean, you can't have a musical about cops
without uniforms.
You could dye everything blue.
Oh, listen, what do you want me to do about this lamp?
What about that lamp?
Well, Esme said you are supposed to get it.
It's supposed to be for an interrogation scene.
If this guy messes with me, he's in big trouble.
Yeah, boss.
He'll have to take a long run off a short pier.
Yeah, boss.
In a concrete overcoat.
Yeah, boss.
That is ridiculous, Vernon.
Eh?
What is a concrete overcoated sink?
There's, mate, for crying out loud.
Miss Watson, about this lamp.
Oh, isn't it nice?
Mr. Hepple said we could borrow it from his boarding house.
That's very kind of him.
But the point is, Cookie, you're supposed
to be rehearsing with Bob.
I can't.
He's fixing the dunnys.
What?
I won't let you put your show on if your dunnys are not working.
Bob!
Frank, sorry I'm late.
We had a tragedy.
Oh, no worries.
Do you feel like going on?
I mean, I know what it must feel like to lose a patient.
Actually, it was the tractor that kicked the bucket.
Oh.
Shirley?
Where do you think you're going?
Steve needs me.
She can get in the queue.
There's scenery to paint.
There's lights to put up.
And subjects to study if anyone's interested.
Fix the lights!
Yes, mate.
Fix the dunny!
It will be all right on the night, won't it?
One pair of opal earrings.
One gold wedding ring.
It's all correct, Doctor.
I want to arrange for my wife's funeral.
What, here in Woodland Valley?
Denise had no family.
Seems like a decent town.
The funeral can be tomorrow.
I'm on compassionate leave.
My time's limited, Doctor.
I understand.
You're taking Daniel back with you.
Do you know anything about autistic kids?
I'm fairly well read up on the subject.
Denise and I were separated for six years.
Saw the boy when I could.
Nothing's changed.
Daniel's on the brink of puberty.
There will be changes then, perhaps even an improvement.
Yeah, I know.
Are you aware of Daniel's capabilities?
His IQ's better than most.
I know that much.
Fewer than 25% of autistic patients
will develop sufficient skills to lead
an independent existence.
Most will need care throughout their lives.
What about the special schools?
Well, they can claim dramatic improvement in some patients,
social acceptable behavior, and basic living schools.
But they're not usually boarding schools.
There are, however, group homes for children Daniel's age.
What kind of homes?
Well, they're run by the Department of Family
and Community Services.
And they take kids of all ages, people of all ages,
with mixed capabilities.
And from there, Daniel will have the opportunity
to go into a small residential, along with other autistic
teenagers and adults.
And there will always be a worker to provide care.
Yeah, you're talking about institutions.
The intention is to provide Daniel
with a normal family environment and an opportunity
to make the most of the special education,
which he's entitled to.
Well, thanks for spilling it out for me, Doctor.
Thanks, Anne.
That was a real trimmer.
Thanks, Frank.
Nice tune.
He knows what he's doing.
Yeah, it'll look good, too, when we get the fog machine.
Oh, you mean the dry ice machine?
Yeah, Killer's lending it to us.
Don't forget to pick it up in the Borough in the police station.
Can't have it, Frank.
Why not?
Killer rang.
Pretty booked for his nebby years 21st.
Killer, what are you doing to me?
Well, you'll be able to think.
Well, I'll fix up something.
All right, can we have a little shush, please?
We'll run through the scene with Mr. Big and Councillor Macaroni.
Vernon had to go back to the club.
He's got a batch of Jenfish Cleopatra in the oven.
Well, where's Macaroni?
Where's Ted?
He's back on the farm.
He's got a sick ball.
And I've got a dying turkey.
All right, Miss Watson, you can read Mr. Big.
And Cheryl, you can be Macaroni.
Frank, what's the point?
We're not in the show.
We can have a lighting rehearsal.
That's the point.
Slight problem.
Anyone got a fuse?
Daniel, are you thirsty?
Do you want a drink?
I want a drink.
Yes.
OK.
I thought you could use some supplies.
Ha ha ha.
I see you've gotten on to Daniel's habits.
We got the message.
We fixed money.
I really appreciate your help, Lucy.
No, thanks neither, mate.
We fixed money.
Oh, it's what we used to call the handicapped child allowance.
$150 a month.
Denise's joke, really.
Mark, if you want to leave Daniel with us
while you make arrangements.
Well, tonight would be great.
We'll be leaving late tomorrow.
Oh, we'd be glad to put both of you up.
Well, thanks.
So you're stationed in Darwin, aren't you?
Yeah, Norforce.
But I can apply for a transfer to a desk job
at Victoria Barracks in Sydney.
I think I'll get the sympathetic hearing under the circumstances.
He'll be keeping Daniel with you then?
That's what Denise would have wanted.
He's going to need full-time care.
How will he manage?
Well, Denise did.
I know what I'm in for.
Mark, don't you think it would be better
to place Daniel in experienced care?
I mean, just until you get your situation sorted out.
Well, that sounds very familiar.
Denise and I went through this six years ago.
I thought we should place him in care to save our marriage.
She wouldn't have it.
I blame myself, not the boy.
Whatever I thought was right in the past,
I'm not going to let him stay.

We're about to show you the incredibly low price of a new Nova.
But there are a few things we want to show you first,
like the two-year 50,000-kilometre warranty,
the three-year 100,000-kilometre drivetrain warranty,
and 24-hour roadside service.
All this and the Nova at the incredible price of...
Ahem!
It's another reason we're number one.
He's back! Glenn Nicholas is kissing frogs again.
Look at him, poor fellow.
Australia's most lovable and effervescent comedian returns

Ha-ha-ha-ha! Jump to it, kissing frogs, it's funny.

And a huge assortment of caps, $3 each.
Check it out at Cheek and Feed.
Sorry, mate.
It's a long time since I've been on a social run, mate.
They push you pretty hard up north?
The harder the better.
It's a privilege to make no force. It takes years.
Pretty hard to give up a job you like so much?
Yep.
Even harder going back to a desk job, I'd imagine.
I'll manage.
And $150 a month allowance?
Denise did.
When you don't have money to buy help, you've got to give yourself.
That's what she did.
She was there for Daniel 24 hours a day.
I can't manage that, but I can try my best.
For what it's worth, I think you made the right decision.
Last round we had over Daniel, you know what she said?
He goes into an institution over my dead body.
That's what she said.
Don't pay me any compliment, mate.
I didn't make a choice. I didn't have one.
Yep. Dead as a dodo.
Well, thank you for your expert opinion, Luke.
Just checking, making sure you're not doing anything hasty.
Hasty?
Nothing has been held together with string and chewing gum for as long as I can remember.
Is that the man?
Our new bank manager.
Nice car.
Nice man, I believe.
He cannot wait to give me the money for a new tractor, I hope.
I reckon he's up himself.
You met him?
He wouldn't give me a loan for the renovations on the lodge, would he?
I like him already.
City slicker.
Luke, keep your opinions to yourself.
Miss Brennan and Miss Brennan.
Good of you to come out, Mr. Mortimer.
Barry.
So this is the beast, is it?
It sure is.
Oh, listen, Anne, you don't want to be late for the hospital.
Luke will take you, won't you, Luke?
I'd appreciate that, Luke.
Any time.
You'll pick me up later, all right?
No worries.
Would you like to come inside, Mr. Mortimer?
I'd love to.
You're going to be Barry.
Is it over?
Come and sit down, Daniel.
Breakfast is ready.
Did I do something wrong?
Okay.
Oh, how was your run?
Oh, let's just say that I know how much I owe to your respect for the armed forces.
Same as yesterday?
I must have done something wrong again.
Yeah, Lucy, where's the Vegemite?
Oh, you and your blasted Vegemite.
Don't worry, I'll grab it.
Didn't marry you so you could fetch and carry.
Oh, good.
Good day.
You want some juice?
Yeah, that'll go down well.
Enjoy your breakfast, Daniel.
Daniel!
I'm fine.
I do.
Daniel, Daniel, it's all right.
No, it's nothing you did.
I think he's used to having a woman at the table and no one else.
I think that's it anyway.
I can't even sit and eat with my own son.
Oh, I'm sure he'll get used to you.
Wouldn't have to if he hadn't been living apart for the past six years.
Oh, I know what you're thinking.
Here's this bloke walks out on his white and autistic kid.
I don't make judgments like that, Mike.
You know, I think I would if I were you.
The day Dan was born was the happiest day of our lives.
Good he was a beautiful kid.
Good as gold.
That's what everyone would say, good as gold.
It took us a year before we had to face the fact that there was something wrong.
Danny was diagnosed autistic.
Different ball game.
We came to terms with it.
It's special.
Denise picked that up somewhere.
Good to hang onto it.
It's special.
By the time he was three, we couldn't leave him, we couldn't take him anywhere.
He couldn't play with other kids.
All our friends stopped coming around.
I think they thought it was catching.
What about your family?
Denise didn't have any family.
Mine.
They just didn't want to know.
I think they were ashamed.
So there we were.
The three of us, four walls, Danny beating the drum.
We were marching to it.
We wanted at least four kids, you know.
Had to forget that after Dan.
Mark, you know, there is no proof that autism is a genetic condition.
There are statistics that...
Yeah, we couldn't take the chance.
Denise devoted herself to the boy.
By the time he was six, she was choosing between us.
We knew what was happening.
We didn't want it to happen.
Just couldn't find a way around it.
Yeah, Bev, that's great, great.
Play it once more, will you?
Sergeant, could I get one thing clear?
You are playing Freddy Kelly, the good policeman?
That's right.
You already have my measurements for the costume.
What about Eddie Kelly, the bad policeman?
I haven't got his.
The measurements are the same, Miss Wilson.
It's an old coincidence.
They're twins. I'm playing both paths.
What was that, Bev?
Yeah, I got that.
Great, great.
Yeah, Rogers and Hammerstein would be proud of you.
See you later.
Okay, you blokes, the sticky fingers number.
Yeah, we'll just try the old path, right?
It's out.
Yeah, I just went on to Bev. She's written a new number.
It's in the bag. There's the music and there's the new lyrics.
How are we supposed to learn that by tonight?
What's the difference? You make up as you go along anyway, don't you?
How would you know, blockhead?
Better than having a head like a fidget ball, isn't it?
Yeah?
Yeah.
Yeah?
No, it'll be all right on the night.
It will, it will.
Come on. Now hold still, Dan.
We're going to say goodbye to your mum.
We'll be back.
Best way we can.
No, no, no, leave it alone.
No, come on, leave it alone.
It's what your mum would have wanted, mate.
It's going to be tough on both of us, but I won't let you down.
We'll get through it.
All right, all right, mate. Okay, okay.
He hugged you.
He doesn't know why he does it.
He just knows it's expected of him sometimes.
He doesn't like it.
Hardest thing for Denise to accept.
He needed it, but he didn't want it.
I know we've been struggling a bit.
Well, there's no choice with the interest rates the way they are.
But I have worked out what our income will be over the next 12 months.
You don't have to worry, you know.
We'll get there.
So this is just an estimate, is it?
Well, yes, it is an estimate, but it's based on the business we've always done.
I've tried to be conservative.
Mm-hmm.
Is he your boyfriend?
Beg your pardon?
Young Watch's name, the one who was hanging around outside.
Luke? No, no, he's not.
Have you got a boyfriend?
No, I haven't.
Must get lonely out here.
Not since my sister came to live with me.
She works a share of nights at the hospital, doesn't she?
Yes, I suppose so.
Well, I'd like to help you, Steve, I really would.
But it's a problem.
Why?
Well, the bank hands out loans based on two considerations.
Assets that secure the loan and your ability to make repayments.
What about the farm?
Well, you already have a mortgage.
Besides, property values have gone down, not up.
So you're saying I can't have the loan?
Well, it all comes down to assets.
Now, if there was something else you had to offer.
Well, all I have is the farm.
I want to help you, Steve.
All you have to do is give me a reason to do it.
I don't want to waste any more of your time, Mr. Mortimer.
Think about it, Steve.
I'll be back this evening.
Frank, I've solved the smoke problem
and I've bribed the critic from the Burrigan Examiner.
You're kidding, of course.
Oh, yeah, of course.
Frank, I sold all killer's tickets.
Three cheers for the netball mob.
More good news.
You know, darling, I think you might just
be a little bit more careful.
You know, darling, I think you might just make it...
You bet we'll make it, Cheryl.
Touch! Touch!
What do they say? Good things come in threes?
The show's been blacklisted. Blacklisted by whom?
Killer Burke, according to reliable sources,
who will remain nameless.
If this show hits the boards,
you're on your way to Walgett.
What has he got against musicals?
Danny, be still, please, for God's sake!
Get up, Daniel.
Stand up!
Stop it!
This is your mother!
She loved you.
She gave you everything.
Give something back, show something.
No!
Not even now.
Not even for her.
You can't feel anything, can you?
Four days left. Montile and myself,
10,000 square metres of floor tiles,
only $15.75 a square metre.
That's right, floor tiles from only
$15.75 a square metre.
And there are four days left at Montile's sale.
Don't you miss out.
When you want value for money,
quality and reliability,
think Bruce Stevenson's Daihatsu.
Like the Daihatsu Charade, Australia's best small car,
from only $11,993.
Or the Daihatsu Appau's pack
with features you wouldn't believe,
from only $17,238.
The mighty mirror, good looking and frugal,
for only $10,900.
Unbelievable. And there's a three year,
60,000 kilometre factory warranty on all Daihatsus.
See me, I'll give you more car for your dollar.
Bruce Stevenson Daihatsu.

Seven out of ten people
who are in the movie business
still aren't eating enough fiber.
So it's worth knowing that in every bowl of Kellogg's Albran
there's about as much fiber as you'd find in 21 new potatoes.
Kellogg's Albran keeps you healthy on the inside.
Danny.
Danny, yes?
I didn't mean to yell at you mate, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's not gonna work out, Dan.
I know that now.
I thought I could handle it, but I can't.
I know I'm letting your mum down.
But I've gotta think what's best for you, mate.
I have to let you go.
Let you go?
Oh, sorry, mate.
No, no, it's all right.
You're both entitled to know.
You're both entitled to know I've changed my mind.
In what way?
I won't be keeping Daniel with me.
I'm gonna place him where he can be looked after properly.
Why?
You were there this morning. Do I have to spell it out?
I can't handle that sort of thing.
Mark, there is support for the parents as well as professional help for the children.
People who can help you deal with the emotional stress.
No, I am not prepared to learn if it's at Daniel's expense.
He needs to be placed with someone who can look after him without being expected to love him.
I can't.
I don't believe that.
Why should I inflict myself on him, Matt?
He can't love me back.
He doesn't know the meaning of the word.
He needs someone, but it doesn't have to be me.
I'm going to go.
That's what I like to see. Tote that barge. Lift that bale.
I thought I'd got rid of you for the day.
What's biting you?
I'm busy.
Oh, don't thank me then.
What for?
I went all over the place getting this stuff on tractors for you.
Oh, thanks. I'll look at it later.
Later? I went to a lot of trouble to get these despite exams coming up
and the Sarge trying to put on fandom of the cop shop.
Luke!
Look at the paint job on that. Is that hot or what?
And there's an optional stereo that goes with it.
I don't really want to talk about it.
Hey, look, I know it's top of the range, but if you're getting a loan,
you might as well get your money's worth.
Well, I might not be getting a loan.
What are you talking about?
You got that Mortimer fella wrapped around your little finger.
What's that supposed to mean?
Well, I didn't get a loan, but I haven't got blue hair and blonde eyes, have I?
I'm sick of it.
I'm sick of your smutty little jokes and your snide remarks.
I'm a human being, Luke, not an object.
Look, all I said...
Why don't you take a good look at yourself?
You bullies, the lot of you.
I don't care if I have to plough this farm with a bent stick.
I am not going to be humiliated and I'm not going to be used.
You creeps, the lot of you.
Mr Hayes, these are elderly people.
They don't have that kind of money.
Please revise your quote.
OK, that's better.
6.30 at the hospital and no breakdowns, please.
Thank you.
Planning a quick getaway?
Booking a minibus for the Muldoon Wing.
I've just sold them a block of tickets.
Miss Brennan, you're shameless.
Me?
The fact that you and Chris have been pushing tickets at the clinic all week
doesn't count, I suppose.
Yes, Frank's quite an entrepreneur, isn't he?
Andrew Lloyd Gilroy is upon us.
Where are you going?
Just to the club for half an hour.
Mike Bailey asked to see me.
I think he might be a bit more forthcoming away from here.
Oh, and good luck for tonight.
Terrence?
Oh, yes, I'm sorry, not good luck.
Hi, Steve.
Oh, what a bit tick.
What time do you have to be at the lodge tonight?
I don't want to get there any later than 6.30.
Why?
Nothing.
Much.
OK, what's the story?
It's nothing.
Now the real answer, please.
Oh, Mortimer didn't knock you back on the loan, did he?
He fed me all these facts and figures stuff
and how hard it would be to give me the loan
unless, unless I, you know...
Oh, the creep!
Well, I might have imagined.
Oh, do you really believe that?
The man who holds the purse strings
tries a little sexual harassment to get his kicks.
How cozy.
He didn't actually harass me.
Did he touch you?
He patted me on the hand.
That's harassment.
What did he talk about besides the loan?
Well, he asked about boyfriends
and whether I was lonely.
It's harassment.
He's broken the law. Do you realize that?
I kept asking myself
whether I might have let him on in some way.
Oh, scum like Mortimer, rely on that.
Do you realize how often this kind of thing goes unreported?
No, I don't want to report it.
I really think you should.
No, please, I don't want to.
Are you embarrassed?
Yes.
Steve, there are six girls who work at Mortimer's Bank.
If he tried this on you, you can bet
that some of them are having to deal with this every day.
Report it for your own peace of mind.
Oh, my poor baby.
I've spoken to Dr. Maxwell in Sydney,
and then you can be accommodated if that's what you've decided.
It is. Thank you again, Doctor.
I was kidding myself thinking I could take the boy on.
It's what's best for him, don't you think?
I think it's generally considered best
if the child can stay in his own family environment.
There's no family environment. There's me.
Out there this morning,
when he was laughing by a gravesite,
wanted to shake it out of him.
What would your doctor mates make of that?
I think they'd consider it a fairly normal reaction.
What are your feelings about Daniel?
Do you resent him?
Do you hate him?
No. You're obviously not indifferent.
I let my wife go.
Now it's too late to say all the things I should have said.
I understand. Do you?
I've been there.
You try to keep a lid on your feelings.
Why?
Because if you don't, you could drown.
I think you decided to take Daniel with you
for the wrong reasons, for obligation duty.
Now I wonder whether your reasons for giving him up
are not equally misguided.
Think it through this time.
I just don't want to hurt him.
Or be hurt by him.
He's already stung you, hasn't he?
Your family's come back into your life.
Those are the feelings you have to deal with.
But it's not easy, is it?
It's the hardest thing I know.
What's up, Es?
The sergeant keeps saying he's two people at once.
I don't understand.
Beats me too, Es.
Our story's a bit of a mystery to me.
Come here. Gather round, all of you.
It all begins with twins.
Boys.
They're separated at birth.
They grow up, and they both become policemen.
One is a good cop.
The other is corrupted by the bad guys.
What do you know?
I see it's terrific.
They are both in love with the same girl, Lola.
Will the bad cop come good in the end?
Will the good cop save his brother from prison?
And who will win the girl?
Does that all make sense to you?
Yes, it's all clear now, sir.
Yeah, well, at least we know all about it.
I'm so thrilled to hear that.
Because you've been rehearsing the thing for the last six weeks!
Ooh, here we go, Madonna.
That cat needs to go on a diet.
Oh, owners don't listen to me. I'm only the vet.
How's the boy?
He's awake, finally.
Would you be able to hold her for me?
Yeah, sure.
He looks angelic when he's asleep.
You'd never know anything was wrong.
Here we go, Madonna. This isn't going to hurt a bit.
What if he dreams? I'd do nice tears then.
There we go, mate. All done.
It's not gonna hurt a bit. She'll never trust you again.
Ah, women have a habit of giving me a second chance.
I don't have to read your mind, Lucy.
I can practically hear it in stereo.
You're upset about the idea of Daniel being institutionalized.
That's not too hard to guess, is it?
If you want to take Daniel on as a foster child,
and if Mark agrees, then I'm prepared to take him on too.
I'll back you all the way.
You're a very special man.
But no.
I mean, it might have once, but you'd need to be a saint,
and I know I'm not.
Look what happened to Mark's marriage.
I don't want that happening to mine.
I want Mike to want his son, that's all.

Hello, Todd Woodbridge is with me to show us how to take advantage
of the short ball.
It is important to hit the ball at the top of the bounce.
Position yourself during the rally on the baseline.
This allows you to move on the attack when your opponent hits the ball short.
By moving forward, it is easier to hit a winner and create angles.
When you go forward, keep going into the net,
so the point may be one with a volley.

You want to see your own brother go down the river?
I know you love him, Lola.
What's he got that I haven't got?
Connections.
And then we go into the double trouble number.
Right.
Lola Scallopini.
I'm supposed to be married to the mob.
Knocky Gorgonzola.
What?
No wonder they call him Mr. Big.
Where on earth did Frank get these names from?
He's known you in amongst his Italian lessons.
You know, you really know this show back the front.
Even Frank's lines.
That's because he kept making me read for all the people who dipped out in rehearsals.
Anyway, well, not one mistake in that scene. Well done.
Good. But I've got 14 more scenes, seven numbers.
Who does he think I am?
Liza Minnelli.
Oh, it's time to go.
I really should be here.
Oh, Anne, I know what to do if he tries anything.
No. I'm going to stay.
They can hold the curtain. The pulley keeps jamming anyway.
Listen, before you came, I might have had to deal with this,
and I wouldn't have known what to do.
But because you're here, I do.
Please, I'll be able to take care of it, okay?
He doesn't seem the kind to try any rough stuff.
Now, let him.
I just wish you had some mace.
Ah, granny's potent pepper pot, no fluricarbons.
Now, sometimes you are too independent for your own good.
I think that runs in the family.
Good luck, sis.
Oh, likewise.
Don't let me down, grandma.
Danny, Danny, it's all right, mate.
Lucy will be here soon.
We can go home.
Home.
Danny.
Don't do that, son.
Come on.
Do that.
Danny, don't do that.
I'm sorry.
Luke.
I want to talk about Steve.
After the way she acted this arbo, I passed.
The ever-popular Mr. Mortimer's made a pass of his own.
Steve gets her tractor as long as she's prepared to play house.
Guy's in suits.
He's coming back later.
Steve thinks she can handle it,
but I'd feel happier if she had some insurance.
Yeah, I'm on my way.
Thanks.
Oh, and look after her, you know?
Believe it.
You know, I think you all know the score.
There are certain elements in this community
who don't want us to proceed.
We're being censored, if you like.
I have received personal threats.
Well, that might work in some countries, but not this one.
Let them try to close us down.
We'll fight them at the footlights.
We'll fight them on the rostrums.
We'll fight them at the box office.
We will never surrender.
Let them send me to Walgreens.
I'm going to have to go to the office later.
Come on, wait here.
Wait here.
Come on.
Come on, wait here.
Wait here.
Let her go, and let us live.
Come on, wait here.
Wait here.
Come on, wait here.
Wait here.
He's not autistic.
He's my son.
Just let him be.
He's my son.
We've been here and done this, Steve.
Well, just check those figures.
I think the farm's record justifies a loan.
Why don't you open the champagne?
No, thanks.
Come on, it's good champagne.
Have a drink. Relax.
No, I'm fine, thank you.
Look, the more relaxed you are,
the more likely I am to see your point of view.
So why don't you come here
and show me the relevant figures, hm?
Oh! Oh!
You touched me on the knee,
and that is called sexual harassment!
I'm telling you to stop it, Mr. Mortimer.
Oh, you little... God, what have you done?
What have I done?
You tried to grope me, you creep!
That's a pack of lies!
And this is a complaint.
This is going to the head office in Borrigan tomorrow.
And if they don't do anything about it,
I'm going to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission.
Steve, there's no need for that.
Oh, look, it was a joke. It's just a joke.
Yeah, well, I've been feeling sick all day, Mr. Mortimer.
I'm not laughing.
Look, you're right about the books, okay?
There's no problem with a loan. None at all.
Steve, for God's sake...
Just shut out!
I've got a wife and kids!
Oh!
Evening, Mr. Mortimer. Old footy injury.
Don't tell me this was a coincidence, Luke.
Probably not.
You were hiding outside, weren't you?
You got something against insurance?
Yeah, well, I handled it.
Certainly did.
I feel sorry for his wife.
Hey, look, you did real good.
I'm sorry.
I'm keeping him with me.
He doesn't want me.
He's gonna need someone all his life.
It's gonna be me.
Not because you wanted me to.
Not because it's my duty.
Not because he's my son.
But I love him.
And I miss you.
Oh, I miss you.
I love to fish. It's my life.
But there's a few things you human fishers need to know.
Lost fishing gear is not only an expensive hazard to boats,
it's a deathtrap to us animals.
So please, don't set your nets when bad weather's forecast.
You're liable to lose them.
Retrieve your broken line and take it back to shore
with your other rubbish for proper disposal.
From one fisher to another, do the right thing by our waterways.
Oh, and leave a few fish for the rest of us.

and very soon they'll see my point of view.

Take it easy.
You're changing my words, my baby.
Relax, it's going well.
You're late.
Here's an urgent message for you, Sergeant.
Red Volvo clock doing 150 on the boundary road.
That's Barry Mortimer's car.
Covered in tar and feathers?
Oh, no.
This is killer's way of sending me on a wild goose chase.
Not a fire!
No, not a fire!
Logs don't fall.
It's a road machine.
And I've got a space for a kiss of water, though.
And are you all right?
How's your voice?
I think the voice is gone, Frank.
Do you think Frank will be offended?
I think we should stay here until he cools down.
Oh, yes, you would say that.
Well, you're not too disappointed, are you?
Oh, after the last 48 hours, I don't want to do anything but stay with you alone in our home.
Hmm.
Imagine going through life knowing that your child is never going to say,
I love you, and break your heart.
Hmm.
The Wizard of Oz.
What?
There's a pit that says, um,
A heart is not measured by how much you love, but by how much you are loved.
And they'll never be perfect, my tin friend, until they are made unbreakable.
Hmm.
Well, this is like that, but in the reverse.
It's hard keeping up with you sometimes, Lucy.
You know, I reckon that Mark will make it because he can love Daniel
without wanting or expecting anything in return.
Hmm.
I'm going to miss Daniel.
Yeah.
Daniel got to me, too.
You know, sometimes you've got to get the heartbreak over and done with,
and then you can get on.
Children do bring love with them, don't they?
Even when they don't know what it means.
Is she going to be all right?
Cross fingers.
She went out there a farm girl.
She's going to come back a star.
He knows I'm here
He knows I'm waiting
He knows I care
That's nothing new
My head says walk away
My heart won't listen
What can I do
My boy in blue
The moon rides high
The night goes slowly
My tears are done
I've cried a few
If he could look behind
The girl is left behind
What can I do
My boy in blue
I hear a record play
On the radio next door
The song says that love is doing fine
But since he went away
I can't believe it anymore
There's a heart that's breaking somewhere
And it's mine
He knows I'm here
He knows I'm waiting
He knows I care
That's nothing new
My head says walk away
My heart won't listen
What can I do
My boy in blue
The song says that love is doing fine
But since he went away
I can't believe it anymore
My boy in blue

It's the sister I feel sorry for

And we'll all live happily ever after
