And now, ladies and gents, it is my pleasure to present the queen of the 1921 Gillingbone
show, Miss Judy Sutton.
Good on you, Judy.
Oh, bless my beads and beads.
It's a good father.
Congratulations, Judy.
How about a kiss from Miss Gilly, huh?
Come on, give me something to confess on Sunday.
Well, I mustn't make my best girl jealous.
Namaste.
Around and around and around, chico.
Don't use the fortune.
Step right out.
Give us our first step.
All right, then, son.
Now, have yourselves a good time, but stay out of the pub.
Thanks, Daddy.
Let's go find Pete and unload the ramps.
Here, son.
Daddy!
Frank!
Hello.
Look at you in your uniform.
Where's Stewie?
Where's Mom?
Well, with the baby due so soon, Tyler, we thought Mom best not travel.
Stewie stayed home with her.
Stewie's taken to see you, lady.
Never mind, because we're going to buy him something nice with his money.
All right?
All right.
Hello, Aunt Mary.
Father?
Mary, you're looking splendid.
Will you be staying over?
I rather hoped you'd invite me to stay at the rectory.
You could stay in my room.
Your room?
I thought you were at the convent.
I'm sure my housekeeper would be happy to share a room with Maggie tonight.
No, thank you.
I'll be there in a minute.
Nice bit of riding, Alastair.
Congratulations.
Congratulations, Angus.
That's a fine horse.
Thank you, Mary.
Oh, Angus, this is my brother, Patty Cleary.
Patty, Angus McQueen, and his son, Alastair.
How do you do, sir?
This is my aunt, Sarah McQueen, Mr. Cleary, ma'am.
Sarah, how is Melbourne these days?
Really, I hardly know.
I've been in Palm Beach most of the season.
It's a bit depressing since the war.
Patty, would you get me some more champagne, please?
Excuse me, ma'am.
You look as though you could use a real drink, Patty.
Well, Patty, then, I'm feeling a proper fool, and that's the truth.
If Fee was here, she could hold her own with it.
We're burned in the hand, but sent here in prisonerships.
Would you just as well get used to them?
You'll be leader of the whole flock one day.
Ah, no, tell me.
Thank you, but Mary wanted some...
You don't have to prohibition like the acts.
Here it is, gentlemen, Jimmy Charmin's famous boxing troup.
The world's greatest fighters plus...
Here we go, come on, step right up, five minutes before fight time.
Come on, lads, who'll take it for five minutes?
Last chance, last chance for a fighter.
Here we go, five minutes left before the fight.
Come on, lads, here we go.
Who wants to win a fight?
Look at the size of them all.
You can do it.
I will.
You will.
Come right up here.
Strike, now.
Ah, we have a taker, a brave lad.
Come on, step right up here, sir.
Here's a pair of gloves for you.
What are you laughing at now?
It's not the size of the dog in a fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
Is that right?
Ah, come on now, go right beside.
Here we go.
Come on, Fee.
No, I want to stay.
Come on, now, what are you doing?
Now you call it play me a love game?
And right me, now come along.
No, I want to stay with the brave.
Sure, buy your ladies some fish and chips and a glass of ale.
What do you have to lose, lads?
Come on, you work harder on the farm.
Come on, let's go, let's go, come on.
Come on, let's go, come on.

Maggie?
Look, I won, I fought four fights and I won.
Frank, it was too scary.
You didn't let her see it, did you?
Well, short of binding and gagging the child,
I couldn't say how to keep her away.
Don't be angry, Frank, she's been upset enough already.
Hey.
You mustn't ever let Daddy know that you were there.
You understand me?
You really won?
Frank, did you hear me shouting after you?
You were supposed to meet.
Oh dear God, look at him, would you?
I'm searching all over for him,
you're off picking fights again.
Patty, stop fighting, Daddy, boxing.
I beat four of Jimmy Sharman's champions, four.
Champions?
A bunch of punch-drunk old has-beens from a country school.
I made myself 20 pounds at it, that's more than Aunt Mary pays you in a month.
20 pounds and the respect of every man present.
Ah, respect.
Why don't you grow up, Frank, for your mother's sake, if nothing else?
For her sake?
You stinking old he-goat.
After what you've done to her.
You couldn't leave her alone, could you?
You couldn't keep your hands off her.
Don't you dare you speak to me like that.
I'm her husband.
You're nothing better than an old man.
Rot is what you are.
And you're no better than the Bastard's old father, whoever he was.
Frank!
No!
Frank!
Oh God, I didn't mean that, Frank.
Frank, I didn't mean that.
I didn't mean it.
You meant it.
Let me go, Father, I won't tell you.
Let me go, Father, I won't touch him, so help me God.
So help you God.
God rot your souls, both of you.
If you've ruined that child, I'll kill you.
I should have let you kill each other, you miserable self-centered cretins.
Son, what I said then, it's not true?
No.
I've always felt it.
I've always known that you came after me.
That she was mine first.
I've always blamed you for dragging her down all these years.
It was me.
No, Frank.
It's not your fault.
Sometimes God's will is more important than your own.
Sometimes God's ways are hard for us to understand.
Your preaching makes me want to puke, Father.
Frank.
Never mind.
Never mind, I'm going.
And I won't be back.
But Frank, you can't go away.
What'll I tell you, Mother?
Frank, you'll be more to her than all the rest of us put together.
She'd never forgive me, Frank.
God in heaven, Harry.
What does this you to tell me?
God, why aren't you older so that I could explain this to you?
Maggie.
Dwerb.
That argument that Daddy and I had is just a kind of a sign that it's time for me to be going on my own.
You mustn't tell Mom about it, do you hear?
But aren't you going to tell Mom goodbye?
I'll write to her.
She'll understand.
Where are you going, Frank?
Well, you know the money I want for boxing.
The man who owns the whole troupe, Jimmy Sharman,
he wants me to be one of his regular fighters.
Really?
Think of that.
I'll get to travel around the whole country and see things you've never dreamed of.
Why would she take me with you?
What do you think?
Now, what kind of life would that be for you?
Maggie, you must stay here and learn to be a great lady.
Because you know something, you're going to be all grown up sooner than you know.
Why don't you love me anymore?
I don't love you, Maggie.
No, you don't.
Leave me, Jimmy.
My darling, darling Maggie.
No one will ever love you more than I do.
Frank!
I was the dairy hands.
I used to see Fee in the distance walking with Frank.
He was only a baby then.
Then one day old Roderick Armstrong came to see me.
He said his daughter had disgraced the family.
They wanted to send her away, but the old grandmother wouldn't hear of it.
Now the old lady was dying, there was nothing to stop them.
He said...
He said if I'd marry Fee and take her away, he'd pay me enough money to set us up.
So you married a lady far above you?
Well, it wasn't the money, Father.
She was so beautiful.
I wanted to see her safe and not abused.
To me, she's beautiful still.
She is indeed.
And in Maggie, I can see what she must have been like then.
I was frightened to death of her at first.
It took me two years to get up enough courage to...
be a proper husband to her.
I love her so much, Father.
I know she's never had that feeling for me.
Not even in the most private moments of our lives together.
But never once, all these years, has she ever complained or cried or...
laughed.
How's Maggie?
Father, what in heaven's name happened here today?
Oh, Father, promise you won't ever leave me.
Oh, Maggie, darling Maggie.
Maggie Frank had to leave.
Why?
Because...
because it hurt him too much to stay.
It would hurt more without Mom and me, because we're the ones who love him.
And for me, for each of us, there comes a time when he must search for the thing he thinks he needs above all else, no matter what it costs.
You mean the thing that'll make him happy?
Happy.
There's a story, a legend, about a bird that sings just once in its life.
From the moment it leaves its nest, it searches for a thorn tree and never rests until it's found one.
And then it sings, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth.
And singing, it impales itself on the longest, sharpest thorn.
But as it dies, it rises above its own agony to out-sing the lark and the Nightingale.
The thorn bird pays its life for just one song.
But the whole world stills to listen.
And God in his heaven smiles.
What does it mean, Father?
That the best is bought only at the cost of great pain.
Regular size BBQ chicken, $2.99, save 20 cents.
Schweppes or Pepsi drinks, 59 cents, save 20 cents.
Roasting beef pieces, $3.88 a kilo, save 95 cents a kilo.
Now in the Silvercoin saving sale.
When you add it all up, the best value is the cold's new world.
You lovely strawberries. Go on.
That's right, Betty. On to Cotty's.
You see, Cotty's now have lots more whole strawberries in their new strawberry jam
to give it a fruitier taste.
Marvellous. You know, I really came by to borrow some strawberries.
Oh, Betty, do you still make your own jam?
Not anymore, dear.
Now new Cotty's jams with more whole fruit taste even fruitier.
When my accountancy firm really started moving, I had to think about moving too.
Plans were drawn up and I was impressed, especially with the low maintenance costs
of Dowel aluminium windows. They rarely fade or need painting.
About the same time, the windows at home needed a new coat.
Well, that was it. I decided to give the house a Dowel facelift.
Looks great. It wasn't expensive either.
And believe me, I know the value of money.
Do it well. Do it Dowel.
What a difference the day makes, a magazine just for you.
On Woman's Day, discover why Dustin Hoffman, a man who has everything,
is afraid to be happy.
And Paul Hogan reveals the unfunny side of his private life.
There are colour pictures of Susan Sankster's wedding,
a handy health and beauty wall chart to help you shape up for summer,
a special baby book lift out,
and $100,000 worth of prizes to share, all in Woman's Day.
What a difference the day makes to you.
Thank you, Maggie. What a pleasure having you do that for me.
I think from now on I'll call you our Lady of the Gates.
How many of those wretched gates are there between Gillingbone and Dragida?
Twenty-seven, Father.
Twenty-seven.
And that means one has to stop.
And that means one has to stop and get out.
Well, how many times?
Fifty-four, Father.
Well done.
Fifty-four times coming and fifty-four times going.
Now, if a priest were to travel between Gilly and Dragida
to see his favourite person, say, once each month,
how many times would he have to stop and get out during one year's time?
It's all right, Father.
With the baby to take care of, I'll be too busy to miss school.
Oh, Maggie.
Maggie.
Sometimes I long to throw open all those gates
and race down the road and never stop.
Just leave all twenty-seven of them gaping open like astonished mouths behind me.
Good-bye, Father.
Hello, Mom.
Hello, Maggie.
Hello.
Oh, Mom, how's beautiful.
Father Dabrikasa, how very nice to see you again.
Why did you do it, Mary, when the dress on your back
would pay your tuition for the rest of the year?
Ralph, I don't believe I've ever seen you so... so impassioned.
I thought it best to take Megan out of school.
She is not well. She needs the help.
Why do you dislike Maggie so much?
She's a beautiful, intelligent little girl,
and yet no one seems to give a rap about her.
Which means you can be sure of her love.
And it's all so innocent and so safe for you, isn't it?
No danger to your reputation,
no threat to those not-so-holy ambitions of yours.
Oh, Mary, this is unworthy even of you.
I am, after all, a priest.
You are a man first, Ralph Dabrikasa.
No, Mary, a priest.
First, last, and always.
You are a man first, Ralph Dabrikasa.
Coming along beautifully, Maggie.
This time next year, you'll be ready for the horse trials at the Gilly Fair.
But then, Father, by this time next year, you could be in Rome.
Poor little Hal, I think he's a mite feverish, Maggie.
Mrs. Smith, please take the children in the kitchen for tea.
You have heard the news.
The Pope has decided that Australia should have its very own cardinals.
I had no idea you stayed current with church politics.
But it's so intriguing, don't you think?
His Holiness is sending a papal legger to search the lengthened breadth of this land
to find a man worthy enough to wear the beretta.
Now, that's like Cinderella.
Mary, much as I love sparring with you, it's time we made a truce.
A truce?
The priest confesses.
It's true, I once had ambitions, great ambitions,
which I thwarted by my own stupid lack of humility.
Then I was sent here.
And here you were, a good Catholic with dragida and no heirs, or so I thought.
And you thought, aha, my ticket to the Vatican.
Put with typical cruelty, but perhaps not undeserved.
The point is, I've changed, and it's largely you I have to thank for it.
Me?
When you made the cleary as your heirs, you dashed all my hopes, just as you intended.
But it freed me, too, from all my old desires.
Mary, I'm a priest, only that, and content.
Oh, bravo, Ralph, bravo.
I can't remember when I've enjoyed a performance more.
Mary.
All my old desires, oh, that is wonderful, that is wonderful.
Well, I'll let you stew a while longer,
but your day of reckoning is coming, don't you ever doubt it.
How you do love the illusion of your own power.
Don't make me pity you.
Pity me? Pity me?
Oh, do you doubt I can't make you writhe yet?
Do you think I can't make you sell yourself like a painted whore before I'm finished with you?
I don't doubt you'll try, but take care.
In trying so hard to destroy my soul, you may lose your own.
If there's still one there to lose.
Or still one there to destroy.

Behind the new range of Victor Mowers is Australia's largest spare parts and service network.
However, because our new range uses the reliable Victor PowerTorque engine,
designed and built in Australia, our massive network is a little less than flat out.
Customer!
This reliability is very reassuring for Victor owners.
Can I help you, please?
Could I get change for the phone?
But frankly, not much consolation for our servicemen.
The new Victor range, a lot more fun than mowing the lawn.
A tree is only as strong as the ground that supports it.
Undermine its roots and its future's shaky.
Same with your family's teeth and the gums that support them.
A major problem is plaque.
Plac can undermine your teeth and gums, and today this is a major cause of tooth loss.
But the plaque you brush away with AIM can never harm your gums.
To stand strong, your teeth need proper support, healthy gums.
So fight plaque. Brush with AIM fluoride anti-plac toothpaste.
Looking slim, really trim.
High in the gym, new eyelet stims.
In the swim, stylish brim.
Dive right in, new eyelet stims.
Super thin, crisp and inviting.
Lightly salted, most exciting biting.
Nice black trim, woofish grin. One for you.
New eyelet stims, flying thin.
In a spin, can't go in.
New eyelet stims, super thin.
Crisp and inviting, lightly salted, most exciting biting.
In a Christian country all this commotion would be in rain.
These crazy lands are as dry as chips.
Not a mouthful of grass anywhere.
I reckon we'll be lucky lads if there's light and doesn't set the whole range aflame.
Did I ever really say Drakita was heaven? Good night, Fish.
Daddy, come on. Little Hal is very sick.
Fee, what?
Daddy.
It's very bad, Patty.
For God's sake, someone get a doctor.
I phoned from Aunt Mary's. He's all the way out to Dibbin Dibbin.
Get some more sulfur from the storehouse, will you?
May Christ receive thee who hath called thee.
And may the angels bear thee unto Abraham's bosom.
Maggie?
What is it, I'm all right.
But you're not.
You just talk to me.
There's nothing wrong with you.
Leave me alone.
Maggie?
She's doing it again, father.
She's been like this ever since little Hal died.
I know.
She won't talk to me either.
Well, we can't let this go on.
Maggie?
Maggie, listen to me.
You've got to stop this.
I know how much you loved Hal, but you can't go on grieving this way.
Maggie, please.
You're wasting away before my very eyes.
I can't bear it.
Father, make me so ashamed.
It's not Hal.
I mean, I do miss him, but...
Well, what then?
Are you sick?
I can't tell you.
You can tell me anything.
That's what I'm here for.
I'm a priest and I love you just the way God loves you, we Maggie.
Father, I'm dying.
Dying?
Just like Hal.
It's some kind of tumor or something, father.
How do you know this, dear heart?
I get the most awful pains, father.
And then there's a lot of blood.
But it's not all the time.
Just every month or so?
Yes.
How did you know that?
My precious girl.
You're not dying.
You're growing up.
Why your mom didn't explain all this to you?
She should have, you know.
You mean mom does it too?
All healthy women do, Maggie.
Except when they're expecting a baby and then it's...
It's needed to nourish the baby inside their womb.
You understand?
Sort of.
Like when it says, blessed be the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
That's right.
But Maggie, do you know what makes babies?
Of course, father.
It comes from mating.
Like the rams in the ewes.
I've tried to watch them, but daddy said I mustn't.
But I've heard the boys talking.
Isn't that right, father?
Yes, but...
See, Maggie, it's very different from people, or it should be,
because God intended, I think, that when a man and a woman mate,
they do it as a way of showing their love for each other.
So it's a mating not just of bodies, but of souls.
It must be so wonderful.
So I understand.
Will it be that way for you and me?
What?
When I grow up and we get married.
Maggie, you know priests can't marry.
You can always stop being a priest.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, Maggie darling, I can never stop being a priest.
Not ever.
What about those tarts you promised me?
Yes.
I'm so glad I'm not dying.
What would I ever do without you?
You'll never be without me.

Stir-fry black bean, Cantonese, sweet and sour.
Look, I pour it on meat, chicken, vegetables, fish, anything you fancy.

What would Her Majesty be wanting with me at this late day?
Heaven knows.
Still a thousand things to do, and the guests are almost upon us.
Oh, I'll take that, Judy.
I'm going up there to get you.
Okay.
Okay, wait a minute.
Come in.
Happy birthday, ma'am.
And if we aren't a picture today.
Thank you, Pete.
But birthdays at our ages are rather a mixed blessing, aren't they?
What is that?
Oh, I was just taking along to Meggie, ma'am.
I thought you wouldn't mind if the clearies dressed here,
so there wouldn't be dust to the waist from walking.
Mm-hmm, good.
That's a pretty color for Megan. What do you call her?
Ashes of roses, ma'am.
It's quite the thing just now.
Mm-hmm.
Now, you will help her dress this evening.
We want her to look absolutely irresistible.
Has Father Debrickassar arrived yet?
No, not yet. But your lawyer, Mr. Goff, is here.
Good. Good.
Now, I want you both to watch me sign this paper,
and then I want you to put your names beneath mine.
Oh, you can write, can't you, Pete?
I can manage a little bit, yes, ma'am.
Fine, fine.
It's just that you are a witness that this is indeed mine.
That this is indeed my signature, in case there's ever a question.
Good.
And please send Harry Goff to me.
Yes, ma'am.
I'll fetch Mr. Goff.
Why, Mrs. Cleary, you look stunning.
Thank you.
For once in her life, Mary's opened up her wallet wide enough
to let the moths fly out, hasn't she?
But I suppose she doesn't want her poor relation
shaming her on her 75th birthday.
Well, I'd best get this to Meggie, or she'll be late.
Free.
Why, Paddy, you look like a diplomat.
Do I?
I feel like an undertaker.
But you...
Oh, Fee, you look just grand.
Harry, doesn't she look grand?
My dear Fee, you look like the lady of the manor.
Is that a legal opinion, Mr. Goff?
Help me with these reviews.
Yes, yes.
I think they'll do, even if they're not quite real.
Well...
Never you mind.
Someday I'm going to buy you
the finest strand of pearls in all of Austria.
I'll be right back.
Really, it's astonishing how few interesting men
there are since the war.
And that's been ten years.
I mean, virtually one's whole life.
Whether they're either donnering or else they're mere children.
Stooey, wherever has Meggie got to?
Mrs. Smith says she's about got her ready.
It's Stooey Cleary.
Little Stooey Cleary?
Honestly, Lucy.
Well, not bad-looking, I suppose,
but such a rube, like all those Clearies.
Still, he might do for you.
And of course, they'll be frightfully rich when she goes.
Father.
Happy birthday, Mary.
How delightful you look, like a young girl.
Oh.
Well, Mary, you've outdone yourself.
This must be the finest party the district has seen in 50 years.
Easily, easily.
I hope you're staying over,
because I've planned some real festivities for tomorrow.
That'd be delightful.
Harry.
Hello, Father.
Father, what a delight to see you.
Good evening, Scala.
But you've been dreadfully neglectful, you know.
Mother was just saying the other day
that you haven't been to Beelbeel for the longest time.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
How was your day?
Good morning.
Hello, Alastair.
Well, how are you fellows this evening?
Harry, you're a member of my sister, Sarah?
Yes, of course.
But I don't know as you've met my wife, Fiona.
Heavens, I would never have dreamed you were Patty's wife.
Sarah just returned from the States.
Oh, my dears.
You can't imagine what the crash has done.
Wall Street is a shambles.
People throwing themselves out of the wind.
Well, it can't happen here,
not with the wool market we've got.
You realize how much this country exported last year?
Good Lord.
Who is that?
Maggie, you're so beautiful.
Oh, thanks, Dee.

Thank you all and thank you Patty for your words and wishes.
But no one reigns forever and the time is coming in soon when I must pass the reign of Drogheda on to someone else.
As we all know those of us who have lived here and fought the drought and the floods and the heat and the cold and yet have managed to prosper and become masters of all we survey.
This land can be a heaven or a hell.
My fondest wishes for those who come after me is that it be far more one than the other.
Dance with me Mary.
Oh no father I'm too decrepit.
Nonsense I insist.
That was a beautiful speech Mary, you made Patty very happy.
I truly wonder if she isn't getting a bit senile.
I mean tricked out exactly like a bride.
So grossly unsuitable.
Someone should have told her she looks like death in white.
Beauty and the Beast huh?
Look at him grinning at her just like he didn't care she left that lot to those clearys.
Of course he's too holy for filthy lucre and such like anyhow.
Isn't he?
Of course it does make those cleary boys more interesting.
She's a grand old girl eh Patty?
That she is.
By the by I've been meaning to ask.
Mary usually chairs the race committee for the ghillie show.
But I wonder if you might be interested in doing the honors this year.
As she's declined.
Thank you Inks.
Thank you.
What's the matter Mary are you alright?
Yes I'm alright I'm alright but let the others have a chance.
Of course.
Please dance please.
Cynthia.
I never suppose we could still dance together.
How long has it been to you?
It's been thirty years in January.
How can you remember that?
Oh I remember it very well.
We went to the century ball in wahine on New Year's Eve.
Frank was just a baby.
Good evening Maggie will you dance with me?
Oh thank you Alastair.
I don't know how to dance.
Well it's awfully hard for dancing anyway.
Perhaps you'd give us some punch.
Yes thank you.
Look at the boys with you.
Standing around shy as kangas.
It's my fault.
I should have taught them a few of the social graces.
How to dance, what to say to a girl.
I will.
I've spent little time for anything but hard work all these years.
I guess we're just beginning to realize how many changes there'll be in our lives.
Will it make you happy Paddy?
Being rich.
Ah.
I could never be a rich man.
Not if I was to have a million pounds.
I wouldn't know how to be.
Now it's...
It's knowing that you'll be living the way you always should have.
That you'll take your place again.
That's what makes me happy.
I don't know about the below Patricia wants to put in that.
I must take exception to and if we could now have a little talk, brothers.
Are you enjoying the party?
Oh, Mickey, yes.
Are you?
Yes, it's a lovely party.
Excuse me, Mickey.
Father, she is lovely, isn't she?
There's not a man in this room who wouldn't give up everything just to have her, is there?
No, Mary.
You're baiting me again.
Not one man.
Except perhaps you.
Once a long time ago I offered you a chance at the Cardinal's robe and you turned me down.
But I wonder...
I wonder if you had to choose between Maggie and the Cardinal's robe.
Which would you choose?
Oh, Mary.
What would I have done without you these past years?
Your wit, your perception, your malice.
It's not what you do, it's the way that you do it.
It's not what you play, it's the way you play.
It's what you toss to the tips of your hair.
Agree to, that's the natural way.
Agree to gets back to nature with aloe vera, ginseng, jojoba, henna and silk extracts.
It's not what you do, it's the way that you do it.
You can change your content, you can dye, you can tone it.
It's not what you wear, it's the way that you wear it.
Agree to, that's the natural way.
Just how many calories do you think there are in a teaspoon of sugar?
100? 50?
In fact, there are only 16.
Which means that you don't have to take off sugar to take off weight.
Nothing tastes the same as the juice from the sugar cane.
Sugar, a natural part of life.

Who is this man?
My name is Igor Stravinsky.
I'm Harry S. Truman.
I'm Don Corleone.
They call him Fletch.
Fletch.
F-Fletch.
He's in real trouble.
Well, it'd be Fletch.
Go ahead.
Make my day.
A reporter on a big story.
Can I borrow your towel for a sec?
My car just hit a water buffalo.
It looks like you two have a lot to talk over.
We'll just catch the last ten minutes of Dynasty.
It's Chevy Chase as Fletch.
Starts Thursday at the Heidley and Glenelg Cinemas.
Father, why don't you want to be with me?
Talk to me.
Is there something wrong?
You look lovely, Maggie.
So grown up.
I have to speak to the McQueen's.
Maggie.
What a sweet dress.
Thank you, Miss Carmichael.
Mrs. Smith made it for me.
I helped her.
Did you?
Well, I'm sure I haven't seen anything like it in fashion pages.
You know, I keep expecting to see you at the horse trot.
Ralph tells me you might become quite an able rider one day.
Of course, some people are saying that it isn't quite the thing,
parents, to be spending so much time in Draghida.
But I think it's splendid of Ralph to take such an interest in you clearies.
Ralph, if you haven't danced with me all evening,
you must do the black bottom with me.
You always do it so well.
Look, everyone.
Father's going to do the black bottom.
I'm going to do the black bottom.
Father, it's time for me to go up.
Please, everybody, it's almost dawn, but please stay and enjoy yourself.
Good night, Mary.
Did you see me up the stairs?
Of course.
Good night.
It's been a wonderful party, Mary.
Yes, hasn't it?
It was a wonderful party, Mary, and I hope a wonderful birthday for you.
My last.
I'm tired of living.
I'm going to stop.
Fiddlesticks.
You're doing something special for tomorrow.
You told me so yourself.
Yes, I remember.
I remember.
But I won't see you.
Kiss me goodbye, Ralph.
Mary, good night.
Sleep well.
No, on my mouth.
Kiss me on my mouth as if we were lovers.
Mary, I am a priest.
A priest?
You're not a man nor a priest.
You're some impotent useless thing that doesn't know how to be either.
You're wrong, Mary.
I know how to be a man.
But to be a man on your terms is to be no priest,
and I have chosen to be a priest.
With the free will God has given us, and with that same free will,
I have chosen to destroy you, priest.
Oh, I'll go to hell for it, of course,
but it'll be nothing to the hell I'm planning for you.
It yourself you'll destroy with this everlasting hatred of yours.
When Satan tempted Christ with the whole world,
is it because he hated him or because he loved him?
You don't love me.
I have always loved you,
so much so I would have killed you for not loving me.
But I... I found a better method.
No, not love.
I'm the goat of your old age, that's all.
A reminder of what you can no longer be.
Let me tell you something, Cardinal de Bruggeisart,
about old age and about that god of yours.
That vengeful god who ruins our bodies
and leaves us with only enough wit for regret.
Inside this stupid body, I am still young.
I still feel, I still want,
I still dream, and I still love you.
Oh, God, how much!
Peggy!
Peggy, darling, don't cry.
Here.
Here, now.
Dry your eyes like a good girl.
I don't want it.
I'm not a child anymore.
Why don't you just go back to your dancing?
I know you're not a child.
Anyone can see you've grown into a beautiful young woman.
You were by far the loveliest girl at the party tonight.
But that's just the problem.
They all know I come to Draghida more often than...
than I need.
If I'd paid you a scare-ic of attention tonight,
it would have been all over the district in record time.
Don't you see?
No, I don't see.
I think you do.
Peggy, Peggy, Peggy.
We've been over this before.
What you mustn't do is get in the habit of dreaming about me
in some sort of romantic fashion.
When you're a woman, you'll meet the man destined to be your husband.
And then you'll be far too busy getting on with your life
to think about me, except as an old friend
who helped you through some of the bad times of growing up.
All right, my Maggie?
Yes, Father.
I understand.
Come on.
What are you thinking, Father?
Just about the land.
That it's so beautiful, so pure,
and so indifferent to the fates of the creatures
who presume to rule it.
And what are you thinking, my dearest Maggie?
Just that I wish the sun would never come up.
We could stay like this for hours.
Wednesday, Channel 10 goes before Thunderdome.

He was the best on the road until the gangs attacked his family.
Considering what he goes through,
Mel Gibson is really quite sane in mad max.

What about me?
It isn't fair.
I've had enough now.
I want my share.
Can't you see?
I want to lose.
But you just keep on.
What about me?
It isn't fair.
I've had enough now.
I want my share.
Can't you see?
I want to lose.
If you're young and unemployed, take heart.
The answer is yes.
6,300 new training positions are being created through yes,
youth employment schemes.
Yes, it's a start.
What about me?
Yet another mildew or a sunrise
And the feeling is good
I know the day is going my way
Just like I hoped it would
And I'm laughing at the sun
And I'm feeling that I've won
And I watch as the rivers run
I am alive

Father!
What is it, Mrs. Smith?
It's Mrs. Carson, Father.
What is it, Mrs. Smith?
It's Mrs. Carson, Father.
It's Mrs. Smith, Father.
Mrs. Smith, we'll have to hold the funeral right away with this heat.
Yes, Father.
I've sent Pete down for Patty and I've telephoned to the others.
Many of them haven't even reached home yet from the party, you know.
Father?
Harry, you've heard?
It's terrible.
Terrible.
Father, I must speak to you.
Can I wait? I have some arrangements.
Mary's orders.
Please.
Fancy the old monster popping off like that despite God and all.
She probably did herself in.
Unless it was the devil doing us all a favor.
High and shame all the ice got used up last night.
I have here Mary's will.
As you probably guessed, she left everything to Patty and his family.
Well, she did leave a bit to the church and some to you.
Shouldn't the cleries be here for this?
Yes, we'll have the reading later after the funeral.
But Mary gave this to me last night before the party.
I was to read it to you the moment I learned of her death.
Of course, I had no idea then.
Good Lord, it's a new will.
Dated yesterday.
But why would she make it without me?
I, Mary Elizabeth Carson, et cetera, et cetera,
bequeath all my worldly goods to the holy Catholic Church of Rome
on the conditions that she show appreciation of the worth and ability of her servant,
Father Ralph de Brickassard,
said Father Ralph de Brickassard serve as the chief authority in charge of my estate.
Well, congratulations, Father.
You got the lot after all, all, 13 million pounds of it.
13 million pounds, I?
But what about the cleries?
Well, they, they get to stay on as managers,
decent of them not to throw them out entirely.
And there's 10,000 a year for your personal use.
And a note for you.
My dear Ralph, how do you like my new will?
Of course, you can destroy it if you wish.
It's the only copy my lawyer will never tell.
No one will be the wiser and Maggie will be the richer, won't she?
But I know what you'll do.
I know it as surely as if I could be there watching
when they give you that red robe and miter.
Father, listen, there's no denying it was Mary's property,
dispose of in any manner she wished.
I'm not a Catholic, so forgive me.
But we both know the church has no right to the estate.
Please, let's just destroy this.
Let poor old Patty and his family have what's rightfully theirs.
It's awful.
I'm so sorry.
Poor sister.
I can't believe it.
Help me.
What are we gonna do?
I don't know what we're gonna do.
We gather here, shocked and saddened.
Shocked and saddened by the sudden death of our friend Mary Carson.
Yet we take comfort in the knowledge that in her last hour she was not alone.
Not the greatest nor the humblest living being dies alone.
For in the hour of our death our Lord Jesus Christ is with us, within us,
and death is sweet.
We all know what Mary was.
A pillar of the community, a pillar of the church.
And it was the church she loved more than any living being.
For she understood so well the words of St. Matthew.
Where your treasure is, there will be your heart also.
Let us pray for her immortal soul, that she whom we loved in life
will enjoy her just and eternal reward.
And as we pray, let us remember that our Lord is rich in mercy.
And let us not forget that we are dust.
And unto dust we shall return.

By my hand, this 24th day of November,
in the year of our Lord, 1929.
Mary Elizabeth Carson, nay, clearing.
Yesterday.
Well, I won't deny it's a bit of a disappointment.
Patty, I want you to contest.
That wouldn't be right.
It was her money, wasn't it?
If she wanted, leave it to the church.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
And then 13 million quid,
I wouldn't know how to look after that kind of money.
You don't understand, Patty.
There are already hundreds of people employed to look after it for you.
Please contest.
I'll get you the best KCs in the country
and we'll fight it all the way to the Privy Council if necessary.
Well, what do you think?
But we can live on Drogheda anyway and have this house.
Isn't that what the will says?
No one can turn you off Drogheda so long as even one of your father's grandchildren lives.
What more do we want?
Damn.
I hate to see you cheated.
Fie, I don't know what to do.
All the things I wanted for you.
I don't want Mary's 13 million pieces of silver.
Well, that settles it.
Well, it's still a tragedy.
Oh, no thank you.
No, thank you.
I think it's time we were going.
They're reading the will.
You don't think that I'm going to leave until I've seen their faces, do you?
Sometimes I think you lack human feeling.
Patty is very grieved about Mary's death.
Still, what is the harm in congratulating him?
Father, please don't think there are any hard feelings on our side.
Mary was never swayed by another human being in all her life.
Brothers and sisters, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Mary was never swayed by another human being in all her life.
Brother or priest.
If she left it to the church, it is because you were mighty good to her.
And you've been mighty good to us as well.
We'll never forget that.
Thank you, Patty.
What is it?
I don't know.
Are you sure?
She was very...
Oh, Patty.
They're all a bitch.
Father?
Father, what is it?
She's won, Mickey.
I've betrayed you.
Betrayed me?
Oh, she knew me so well.
She knew if she stripped you of everything, I'd have no choice.
But no.
She made sure you'd neither want for anything nor have anything either.
All your life, you'll have to look to me.
I don't understand.
Oh, you'll be respectable, even socially admissible,
but you'll never quite be Miss Cleary.
Never quite be one of them.
I don't want to be one of them.
To be stupid and vicious and cruel like Miss Carmichael.
How could I even think of that, Father?
Oh, Mickey, don't call me Father.
I'll be going away, Maggie, soon.
Oh, Father.
Why?
Don't you see?
It's part of her plan.
I brought in 13 million pounds.
And a holy priest who's brought in 13 million pounds
will not be left to languish here in the back of the yard.
The church knows how to reward its own.
Oh, no.
No.
No, Mickey.
It's better this way.
How can it be better?
To take away what I love most in the world.
And better for me.
Better than someday having to marry you to somebody else.
Better than staying here to watch you change
into something I can never have.
Maggie, when I saw you last night, I almost hated you.
Hated me?
For growing up?
Yes.
Oh, Maggie.
When you were a little girl, you were like my own child to me.
You were the rose of my life.
I could have you then.
You can have me now.
You can marry me.
You love me.
But I love God more.
I do love you, Maggie.
I always will.
I can't be a husband to you.
If only I could make you understand what being a priest means to me.
How God fills a need in me no human being ever could.
Not even me.
I can't.
Bye, my Maggie.
Father?
Father!
Go on, then.
Go on to that god of yours.
You'll come back to me.
Because I'm the one who loves you.
