The 10th, second edition news brought to you by Mobile.
Tonight, Bob Hawke's leadership a new challenge builds.
Campaigning for a new Soviet Union, Boris Yeltsin turns troubleshooter.
And lost in a sea of sharks, survivors tell their tale.
Good evening, the ALP leadership row has erupted again and it's now out in the open.
Prime Minister Bob Hawke has apparently failed to sway Paul Keating supporters to call off their campaign.
There is talk, in fact, of an imminent challenge.
Mr Hawke's senior advisor Colin Parks and Senator Richardson held a tense discussion here at the Lodge after a dinner on Monday night.
We discussed so many things and obviously you couldn't have a meeting with the Prime Minister and not discuss Paul Keating.
Senator Richardson says the meeting wasn't pivotal, but I'm told Mr Hawke made it clear that he was determined to stay on as Prime Minister.
And the Keating supporters should back off and stop wrecking the party.
Senator Richardson angrily accused the Hawke office of a campaign of Keating denigration and told Mr Hawke Paul Keating was just as determined to be Prime Minister.
And in the past had shown how tough he can be.
Today the public message was more diplomatic.
I've said before I do expect Paul Keating to be Prime Minister.
It's just probably not going to happen as quickly as he'd wanted.
So he won't be going away, he'll be around.
Mr Keating arriving in Adelaide for a Labour Party function was saying precious little.
Mr Keating are you aware of what Senator Richardson has said today?
Don't have your child, don't have your child.
But there's every sign Mr Keating is stoking the boiler.
Tomorrow newspapers in all capitals will carry a major feature article on him.
One quote is sure to anger the Hawke camp.
It has Mr Keating saying parties have to get on with their evolution.
They can't just stop and say we'll keep a leader on until he's as old as Methuselah.
The opposition says the Hawke government has the death rattles.
The poison is in there and it's going to be very hard for the Labour Party to get it out.
Hawke supporters are now talking of a showdown at next Tuesday's caucus meeting.
Paul Longiorno, 10 Eyewitness News.
A firm boost for hopes of an economic recovery from the latest balance of payments figures.
But lower interest rates seem further away because of a surge in home building approvals.
Improved building activity is a key early sign of emerging economic recovery.
Although the opposition sees little joy in the latest surge in building approvals.
It's a classic Australian turnaround, a lot of money going into housing.
But of course what we need is money going into factories to provide people with jobs.
The figures for July of just over 12,000 home starts are up almost 18% or 2,000 dwellings on last month.
Although encouraged, the Housing Industry Association warns the figures could simply reflect the release of pent up demand.
But the association has issued a plea to ministers on interest rates.
Stop speculating about interest rate reductions because it causes people to hang back from making the decision.
Adopt a wait and see attitude and that's the last thing that we need at this stage.
But the boost in building approvals will help to confirm the government's cautious view that there may be enough interest rate cuts already in the pipeline.
While urging caution on home approvals, John Curran says the latest balance of payments figures confirm the government's budget forecasts.
But these are very good figures, you know, they're in the groove.
The deficit for July came in at just over a billion, up 63 million on June.
But the Treasurer says the trend is continuing to fall and exports have again risen with rises in 10 out of the past 12 months.
Mr Curran says it's an outcome that will enable the country to get on top of its international debt.
Tony O'Leary, 10 Eyewitness News.
To Overseas News now, and Boris Yeltsin's on the campaign trail to form a new Soviet Union.
The Russian president's in the breakaway republic of Latvia tonight while his deputies on a troubleshooting mission to another key republic.
The purpose, to reassure the republics they have nothing to fear from Yeltsin's power base, Russia.
Boris Yeltsin's visit to Latvia can be seen as a further endorsement by him of the Baltic state's right to independence.
Mr Yeltsin has already said that Russia is prepared to recognise Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia as freestanding countries.
And his presence in Riga will add weight to that pronouncement.
He'll also be able to use the opportunity to reassure Latvia that Russia isn't seeking to dominate the other republics.
Mr Yeltsin's remarks earlier this week that Russia might seek territory heavily populated by ethnic Russians from any republic seeking to secede sent shockwaves around the country.
Kazakhstan, an important ally for Mr Yeltsin, was particularly angered by the remark.
The Kazakhstan president said it had stimulated public demands for independence, a serious matter because Kazakhstan contains Soviet nuclear weapons.
Mr Yeltsin immediately dispatched his deputy, Alexander Rotskoy, to Kazakhstan to try to mollify the republic's leadership.
Also in response to Mr Yeltsin's remark, Russia and the Ukraine yesterday issued a joint communique recognising each other's right to independence.
The tone of the communique implies the current union is already a thing of the past, talking of the former USSR.
But in a radio address to the Russian people, Mr Yeltsin said despite the collapse of central authority in the Soviet Union, the idea of the Union itself isn't exhausted.
The aim, he said, should be to create a new voluntary union of equal sovereign states with a new administrative centre.
Mr Yeltsin's remarks will be welcomed by Mr Golbachev, who, in an interview on American television, called on the leaders of all the Soviet republics to work to preserve the Union.
I think the main thing that concerns our people is not to see the Union collapse or disintegrate.
There are human, political, economic and defence links to take into consideration.
But it's evident that profound changes in the relationships between the constituent parts of the USSR are underway and what the future shape of any new union will be is still far from clear.
In Moscow, the Supreme Soviet is in its fifth day of a special sitting.
The parliament's former speaker, Anatoly Lukyanov, has now been arrested for his part in last week's failed coup.
And another republic has declared its independence. CNN's Gene Randle has the latest from Moscow.
Muslim Azerbaijan has become the sixth Soviet republic to declare independence since the collapse of last week's coup against Mikhail Gorbachev.
And Moldavia, which has also declared independence, says it will take control of its border with Romania.
Meanwhile, here in Moscow, CNN has confirmed that Anatoly Lukyanov, the former chairman of the Supreme Soviet, has been arrested to face charges of treason.
His apprehension comes just a day after Lukyanov's former Supreme Soviet colleagues stripped him of his diplomatic immunity, parliamentary immunity.
This is expected to be the final day of the special Supreme Soviet session.
Its climax came Thursday night when the lawmakers voted to suspend the activities of the Communist Party while its role in last week's coup is investigated.
Still to come, the Yugoslavia crisis, calls for peace are met with violence and fire strikes in a caravan park.

Residents at a Queensland caravan park could only watch today as two mobile homes and a four-wheel drive exploded in flames.
Two men were injured after being hurled through the air by the blasts.
When firefighters arrived at the Eight Mile Plains Caravan Park, they faced a massive battle.
Two mobile homes and a four-wheel drive were engulfed in flames and nearby vans were threatened.
The blaze apparently began when a man cleaning a van lit a cigarette, causing an explosion.
He and a fellow workmate were thrown across a roadway.
There was a second blast when the fire ignited an LPG gas cylinder.
Firefighters managed to bring the blaze under control before any other vans were damaged.
The two injured men were taken to hospital for treatment of arm and leg burns.
In Victoria, firefighters have attacked their chemical industry in the wake of the Coote Island Inferno and alleged safety breaches by a major terminal.
They want tough new regulations.
They cannot be allowed to be self-regulated because they've demonstrated that they cannot be trusted.

And in Sydney, Darren Brennan, who was wrongly shot by police last year, has seen his father sentenced to jail over the shooting of a newsagent.
While 48-year-old Les Brennan faces ten years behind bars, shooting victim Reg Coote faces a lifetime in a wheelchair.

I have a restricted mode of life now, which I didn't have before.
But Darren Brennan maintains his father's innocence.
I'm very upset and disappointed in it all.
Brennan's father is appealing against both the conviction and the sentence.

Australia's international transport giant TNT today announced losses and write-downs totaling $200 million in the year to June 30.
The Business Review Weekly's Robert Gottliebsen reports.
TNT shareholders have been bracing themselves for a terrible result, and they weren't wrong.
The company and its associates incurred a trading loss of $62 million.
In addition, it reviewed the value of its investments and announced abnormal losses and write-downs of an extra $138 million,
a total of $200 million.
The company was battered in three areas, TNT Australia, including its ANSAT and East-West operations, TNT Express in Europe, and in South America.
The group's losses would have been much higher, but for substantial profits from its World Aircraft Leasing operation, and good results from the UK, Italy and Spain.
TNT 67-year-old Chief Peter Abels was forced to write down the TNT investment in ANSAT and other associated companies,
and the group's asset backing fell from $1.16 a share to just $0.69.
Abels is pinning his hope of rescuing TNT on a special deal in Europe, where he's joint venturing with a consortium of post offices.
In addition, he's relying on a new Australian TNT general manager to restore the group's fortunes in its home base.
And as TNT was announcing its downturn, Boral forecast that on Monday it would announce its first profit fall and dividend cut for 20 years.
But there was also some good news. Australians are buying more natural health care products,
and one of the leaders in that field, Blackmoor's, lifted its profit 50% to just over $2 million.
The share market took the TNT and Boral results in their stride, and both companies' shares fell only one cent.
Blackmoor shares rose 10 cents. The overall market was down less than a point, while the Australian dollar was steady at 78.4 US cents.
This is Rowett Gottliebsen.
Overseas again, and heavy casualties are being reported in Croatia.
The latest clashes follow tough words from the US to federal Yugoslavian authorities.
Washington blames them for the escalating violence in Croatia, and it's demanding a halt to the fighting.
Until now, Serbia's hardline leaders have stood firm against all outside pressure and pleas.
They deny backing the rebels in Croatia, but they continue to veto the use of foreign observers in the battle zones.
There's a danger that Serbia and the army may respond to the mounting criticism by retreating further into their bunkers.
As diplomatic efforts intensified, fighting continued in several parts of Croatia.
Reports from Osijek in the east said the army had used mortars to bombard the town,
while in Topusko to the west, the Serbs claimed to have killed 25 Croatian guardsmen and captured seven.
Pressure on the army mounted in Belgrade and other cities, with demands from protesting mothers for the release of their sons from military service.
What began as a story of disaster has ended in a tale of survival and courage.
Three Americans shipwrecked by Hurricane Bob have overcome hunger, thirst, and a sea of sharks.
Marooned for ten days in a life raft, the two men and 32-year-old Allison Wilcox, who is six months pregnant, were plucked from the ocean 130 kilometres from land.
After four days, they became discouraged, watching helicopters circle so close.
We saw them all around us, all of a sudden. They were doing everything they possibly could, but we're only this big.
And finally it clicked and they caught us.
Trapped in the path of Hurricane Bob, the ship was whipped by gale-force winds and tossed around by five-metre waves.
The crew abandoned their sinking ship for a life raft. Their meager rations and scant water lost when the raft capsized.
The crew took everything we had away. We left on fish heads, crude oil, seaweed, rain water.
As a dozen sharks circled the raft, one of the rescuers had to dive into the infested waters to help harness two of the survivors.
This guy's unbelievable. He's a real hero.
Well, it was either I go in and get them out or they stay there, the survivors.
I knew if I was down there I wouldn't want somebody to come get me.

Is homosexuality a matter of choice or destiny? An American scientist believes he has discovered evidence to suggest men are born with their sexual preference.
The debate has raged for years. Homosexuality, is it biological or psychological?
Many gays and lesbians have long declared they feel fundamentally different from their straight counterparts.
Dr. Simon Leveille is a brain scientist and he's also gay. His research into homosexuality has led him to believe its origins lie here, deep in certain characteristics in the brain.
My results simply demonstrate that there are structural differences in the brain between homosexual and heterosexual men.
Dr. Leveille says the difference lies in the hypothalamus, a part of the brain known to regulate sexual behavior.
He found that in the hypothalamus of heterosexual men, certain cells look like this, large and clumped together.
In homosexual men, the cells were smaller and not clumped. Women have the same cell pattern as homosexual men.
Dr. Leveille's findings were published today in the magazine Science.
He warns people should not make too much yet of the difference he sees in brain cells.
Homosexuality is as old as humanity and scientists estimate 10% of all humans are gay.
Many researchers have their doubts about Dr. Leveille's theory.
I'm in fact sort of shocked if he's right because I think it is a complex behavior and I think there are probably multiple origins for homosexual behavior,
whether it's biological, environmental or just free choice of individuals.
And Dr. Leveille agrees too, more research is needed and more brains needed to be studied before a biological basis for homosexuality can be confirmed.
But his research could eventually prove what many gay activists have long declared, that homosexuality is not a choice.

In Norway, one of the longest belly flops ever seen. It didn't start out that way though.

Thank you, Ann, and good night everybody.
Well, Friday again, don't they? Scoot past quickly.
But a very relaxed night, I always find Friday, particularly if the weekend's going to be pretty good as far as the weather goes.
Well, it's not too good at the present time.
Let's check this out on the map of Australia.
Around here's great, over most of the continent.
Good, beautiful weather, really.
But in the southeast, as we said last night, that's where all the action is with showers and rain.
North and Victoria had some pretty good falls there, 20 to 25 millimetres.
And it's very cool, this gales all the way through here.
Melbourne was 11 degrees today for a maximum.
The morning was all right, but then the showy weather came in the afternoon.
Some snow falls, still light falls, perished in those highland regions in the last 24 hours.
Only 8 millimetres, but there's more to come.
So today, another place that's pretty good, except around, as I said, in the southeast.
Let's have a look at these clouds.
There they are.
In Brisbane, there's a few spots today.
That's the tail end of this cloud here that was the rain producer over New South Wales about midweek.
Took its time getting up here, didn't it?
It didn't produce much.
The barbers cat, all wind and no water.
But around here, you can see this is where another change has just moved through Victoria,
or moving through Victoria, with pretty good strong winds and cold weather coming up from the back end there.
So let's have a look down at the chart.
There it is, this high too, it's been hanging on a little bit.
It's moving away.
So the hot weather is over the eastern part of Queensland.
The northern rivers didn't do badly, still pretty high there, 27 at Casino and Grafton.
High level jets still through there, of course, not assisted in keeping this cloud on through there.
This is the old talking low pressure complex lows sucking in the air, whipping it around, series of fronts going through.
But the whole system will be moving away fairly quickly.
Look at tomorrow and you'll see that.
See it moving away, dropping snow here with these cold upper air temperatures,
and then we'll be coming under the influence of this beautiful high.
So here when we get rid of that wind, the next 24 hours we have a beautiful weekend, what's left of it,
and that should extend into the early part of next week.
Other parts of the state will be fine, and the Commonwealth.
All right, there it is for the next 24 hours.
See just the few showers there, dropping right off to nothing.
Snow on the Alps, good heavy snow falls, and with the light winds coming through,
it should be a great day for the skiers because you'll be able to get onto the snow and use it.
Well, that's all for me.
I hope you enjoy the weekend, whatever you're doing, and I'll see you again Monday night.
You certainly will, Ray, and you have a good weekend too.
Well, it's the one day of the year when it's OK to look like a clown.

Johnny, Johnny, I wouldn't be a good boss or a good friend if I wasn't honest.
The XB is a good weapon, and your talent's appreciated. But this one's better, isn't it?
Yes, it is. But we're way past the prototype stage.
Mr. Clemens, I can't tell you how happy you've made me, sir.
Good work, Ray. Good work.
Well, congratulations, Ray. Quite a coup you pulled off here today.
It's just the beginning.

Special delivery for a very beautiful lady.
Oh my God. What is this? Have you spent the rent money?
Forget about the rent money. These are for you.
Ray, what are you up to?
Connie, sometimes a man's life can turn around in one second.
Here, let me have these. Look at you, look at you.
Ask me if I like what you're wearing.
What do you mean? It's your old sweater.
I know, but ask me if I like it.
You like what I'm wearing?
I hate it. And I hate this stupid apartment.
You deserve so much better. And baby, you're going to get it.
Do you hear me? You're going to get it.
Connie.
Brian. There you are.
Anything happen while I was out?
Yeah. Jack went to sleep.
No, excitement.
Here's the letter that just came for you.
Oh no.
What is it?
It's a wedding invitation. My dad's getting married again.
Great.
Brian, for as long as I've known you, you haven't received so much as a phone call or a card from him.
And now this. And you're just going to ignore it?
Yeah, that's right.
Your father's getting married.
Let's just drop it, okay?
Not unless I get a reasonable explanation.
Let's just say I don't get along with him. I haven't talked to him in years.
Why not?
I guess I'm a disappointment to him. I always tried to be what he wanted. I just got tired of it.
I quit school and ran as far away from him as I could.
Well, maybe he's mellowed. I mean, he's starting a new life.
You don't know him.
Brian, as long as you keep running, he still rules you.
Maybe it's time to make peace.
Look, you'll never know unless you try. Besides, you could probably use a vacation, and it's only four or five hours by car.
I don't know.
Looks to me like you want to.
Okay, all right. Only under one condition.
Anything.
The presentation says I can grant guests.
This can't be the right place. My father's never had two dimes to rub together.
Brian, it's the address on the card.
I don't get it.
Well, you'll never know unless you ring the doorbell.
This is a mistake.
Hi, Dad.
Brian.
Smart car. It's a theater of applause.
It's beautiful.
Oh, yeah. It's got air conditioning, power steering, central locking. It's even got a CD player.
A CD?

Does he love me? I want to know.
You'll want to know about Shure's latest album, Love Hurts.
If you want to know, if he loves you so, he turned his key.
Here's another worldwide hit from a lady who never misses.
Sure, Love Hurts.
It's in your record store now.
And what's the problem?
We won.
It's dandruff shampoo, it drives my hair out.
Don't use it.
Use this?
Well, that's new.
I use it every day.
And flakes?
Feels great.
Change to new dandruff control pert.
It's microbead conditioner means you'll be one step ahead of dandruff without being harsh on your hair.

Lisa Harrow and Kerry Armstrong, Sunday and Monday on Channel 10.
Coming, spinner.
What are you doing here?
You sent us an invitation.
I what?
He didn't.
I did.
Come in. Don't just stand out there in the cold.
I'm Connie.
This is Mickey, cousin Catherine's daughter.
She helps me out down at the store.
Oh, you're both welcome.
Connie, why didn't you tell me about this?
Ray, we are getting married.
I thought it was high time you two buried the hatchet.
Now, don't you have anything to say to your son?
Nice place you got here.
Life's coming up roses for us.
Ray, why don't you take Ryan over to the factory?
Show him around.
He doesn't want to see a factory discard here.
No, no, I'd like to see it.
For me.
Don't worry.
Why don't you take the bags up first?
Now be fine.
Looks that way.
Well, I'm getting married tomorrow night.
I've got a million things to do first.
I hope you don't mind me work to death.
What are vacations for?
Come and see the house first.
We just bought it.
Actually, the hardest part was coming up with the laser homing guidance system.
Once I solved that problem, the rest was easy.
It was just a matter of getting it to the right people.
This thing sells itself.
Now, I've got one more day.
After tomorrow's demonstration for the buyers, I'm home free.
Mixing business with pleasure, huh?
Having the wedding right after the demonstration?
Look, this isn't playtime, son.
Everything I've got is riding on this demonstration.
Everything.
It's not in the bag yet.
A man in my position always has enemies.
Enemies?
Little fish.
Don't like big fish coming in from the outside and gobbling up all the fish food.
These people in this place would like to slice me up and serve me on a plate.
Ray, I've been meaning to talk to you.
Speaking of which, you're gonna be around for a while.
I'd like a word with you. Do I know you?
I'm his son, Ryan.
I'll catch up to you.
Who was that guy?
John York.
Jealous little man.
Probably from a long line of jealous little men.
That stuff starts in childhood.
A boy needs someone to look up to, somebody to pattern himself after.
Now, my father died the day I was born.
I never knew him.
That doesn't mean that I didn't have anyone.
I had Louis Fonser.
Uncle Louis? He never told me that.
Well, it was sort of between us while he was alive.
Now, there was a man with will and knowledge.
When I was four years old and I tripped over a rusty can and fell,
the lid was bent up and caught me right in the ear.
I ran up to him, howl, blood just running down.
Louis put something right there and the cotton went away.
Like I had never been there.
The blood just disappeared like magic.
Louis was always dirt poor, just left hand to mouth.
But I loved him.
One day he struck it rich overnight.
How that little store could make such a bundle, I'll never understand.
But I do know this.
If my Uncle Louis could do it, I can do it.
Could you put those up in the top of that closet, please?
Okay, thanks.
I hope that wasn't your china.
Oh, no, not to worry.
What's this?
That's Ray's old photo album.
Hey, there's pictures of Ryan in here.
That's Ray when he was a little boy.
Who's that with him?
That's his Uncle Louis.
Louis Fondredi? Uh-huh.
You know, he was the only person who ever gave Ray a Christmas present when he was a little boy.
Connie, did Louis give him anything in later years?
Oh, an old pipe.
Ray calls it his good luck charm.
This is just the beginning.
We've got all kinds of toys in the shop. Nerve gases, stun guns.
We've got a pneumatic hypo that can render a man unconscious in two seconds.
And last but not least, my little beauty, a laser homing explosive launcher.
Clip.
Just point the laser at the target, pull the trigger, and zap, you kill a man.
English, French, Chinese, it doesn't care.
I can't believe this came out of your head.
Why not? Don't you think I've got what it takes?
No, I'm just surprised, that's all.
Ryan, look at this. Look at this. This is solid. This is real.
If this demonstration tomorrow goes the way I think it'll go, this will make me a rich man.
Go on, son. Hold it.
No, no, I don't want to.
Come on.
No.
Oh, that's right, I forgot. You're the artistic type.
Dad.
Have you ever taken a stand on anything in your life?
Can we not get into this?
You drop out of college to play shopkeeper. Why Uncle Louis left that place to you, I'll never understand.
Is there a point to this?
Yes, you're not a kid anymore, you're a man. You better do something important with your life.
Ryan, don't go back. Stay here with me. I can get you a great job.
I've got a job. And a life.
What life? You don't have a life. You're going nowhere. If Uncle Louis were here, he'd tell you the same thing.
Uncle Louis made a deal with the devil, that's where he got all his money.
I've been running all over hell trying to retrieve his cursed antiques, trying to undo some of the damage, so don't give me Uncle Louis.
What the hell are you talking about?
Forget it, just forget it, all right?
Ray, I've got to see you.
It can wait.
It can't wait. I'll be in my lab. Now.
Ryan, let's not leave him like this. I'll be back.
You've got five minutes, York.
I need your signature on this.
What is this?
It assigns all the rights of your weapon to me. You can assign this and then fade away.
You've really gone nuts.
Yeah, I thought you might feel like that, so I prepared a little folio for you here. Take a look at this. It'll be worth it to you.
I thought that might interest you. The weapon was invented a long time before you came to us, Ray. And Keith Fielding is the name of the inventor.
There's a patent application that was never filed and Fielding's name's on that, too. Looks like you stole the gun, Ray.
I can't prove that.
You know, boy, a lot of embarrassment if you just sign this and then get the hell out of here.
By the way, I've got someone I'd like you to meet.
Will you step in here for a moment, please?
Who are you?
I'm Nathan Fielding.
Nathan's the brother of the man who designed this weapon. His brother seems to have disappeared.
I've searched every place for him. Every company he's ever dealt with and I'm getting nowhere.
We're sorry about that. If we hear anything at all, we'll contact you. Do you mind if we hang on to these copies?
Oh, none at all. They would help.
Thank you. Mr. Dalyan just wanted to meet you for a moment. Thank you very much.
I'll just leave you with these.
Don't rush your decision. Just don't be here when I get back.
Thank you.
Help me! Help me!
Get down! It's too late.

Peter Morris, out of the ten eyewitness news team.
The Melbourne Expeditions.
There was a man and he was covered with smoke.
Okay, okay, take a breath.
What are you doing here?
Nothing, Dad. Mickey just had a scare.
Why? What did you see?
What did you see?
Hey, take it easy.
Sorry.
It was nothing, I didn't see anything. I got confused looking for Ryan.
My imagination got the better of me.
Charles, Doctor, it's so good to see Lizzie eating.
Plenty of greens, lots of roughage, not too much fat, fresh fruit and milk products.
Maybe the baby prefers fried tomatoes and snacks.
And a visit to the dentist too, I think.
The dentist?
Yes, Elizabeth, the dentist.
No way, I hate dentists, they're all fan-callers.
But times have changed, dear, they don't have to be nowadays.
And there's a new dentist in Burrigan who's an absolute magician, ask Luke.
Oh yeah, how is Luke?
Oh, his tooth's out, didn't hurt a bit.
I'll go and see him.
Harry, encourage her to make an appointment, will you? I've got house calls.
I'll drive you over so you let me know when.
Do I have to?
Lizzie, Dr. Richards is absolutely terrific, not just as a dentist either.
She's got a great sense of humour, she loves people, she's fun to be with, and she is beautiful.
What's this?
Down rova.
No, no, Harry, if there's a new dentist in town I should pay her my compliments.
It's professional etiquette after all.
And Terry, you're a little bit long in the tooth for Virginia.
She's more my vintage, young wine, you know.
Haven't you got a house call to make?
Long in the...tooth?
Poor Luke. He looks as though he's been kicked in the jaw by the horse.
I think Dr. Richards did an excellent job.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if she lets him go home after she sees him today.
Now, where's my Slater's non-passerines?
No, my field guide to Birds of the Bush. Those are brochures on my Nepal trip.
You're going to Nepal?
Yes, later this year. It's always been Ellen's and my dream to go there.
I'll be going on my own now, but Ellen will be there in a way.
I'm sure of it, darling. You'll love it. Nepal is divine.
You've been to Nepal?
Oh, yeah, ages ago when Kathmandu was all the rage.
Well, I hope it's a little less fashionable now. Ah, my Slater's.
It's just wonderful, Rosemary.
I mean, the Sherpas do everything. You don't have to lift a finger.
All you have to do is walk along, get the wonderful views, chatting.
And then there's time to set up camp.
They've already put the tents up and they've made this steaming hot tea.
Oh, it's bliss.
That's not exactly what I had in mind, Shirley.
Oh, well, if you don't fancy trekking, Kathmandu is really charming.
No, Shirley, I do want to go trekking, but just somewhere a little less crowded.
How far did you go?
Oh, forever. At least five kilometres a day. I slept like a log every night.
Yes, well, I had somewhere a little more strenuous in mind.
That's why I'm going into the local hills for a couple of days, to build up the stamina.
Ah, I used to be able to do all that.
It doesn't sound like the Shirley Gilroy I've heard about.
I'd love to come with you.
And why not? Frank too.
Oh, I'd need a crowbar to prise Frank away from his rose garden.
Time goes on, with or without us, Shirley.
Yes, it does.
I'd welcome your company.
OK, open wide.
Is it much to do?
No, not really. The problem is this tooth here in the front.
It's discoloured and unattractive.
Can you fix that?
Yes, it's basically a cosmetic problem.
Oh.
You all right?
Yes, just a headache.
What I'd suggest is what we call a tooth bonding.
We put a hard plastic coating over the tooth, which helps the tooth restore its natural whiteness.
That'll cost heaps.
There's no problem with that, Elizabeth.
We'll have to make an appointment.
That all right with you?
I suppose so. Can I get up off here?
Thanks.
I'm going to pay you back what it costs.
That's very sweet of you, but I'd like to do this for you.
I said I'll pay you back, OK?
I told you they were all fang-pullers.
Oh, that'll be our lovely dentist checking on my availability.
Hello, Wandon Valley Hospital?
Yes, Mrs. Pryor. I will.
Bye for now.
Harry, if I were you, I'd ask myself some serious questions about her.
Yes, peculiar behaviour, going off walking mountains on your own.
No, I mean about your lovely dentist friend.
I mean, you're deaf, dumb and blind to anything in skirts.
I am.
