Return Home

Yeah, that's nice.

We can't see enough of the car.

Move over further.

Come on Noel you useless twit.

Okay?

Okay, say cheese.

Coon.

Gary, you little twerp.

Go Steve.

I then put the brake on, returned to my car, and left.

No contact was made with my vehicle and said vehicle

during my presence.

So I would say that your fellow just

supposed his car was hit because that car was

parked behind him.

Okay.

Bye.

Ian.

Yeah...

Yep.

Well, our accountants would get together in that event

and work it all out.

Yeah, look, that's perfect.

Yeah I agree fully.

Okay, let's set it up.

Ok, bye.

How are you?

Hey, listen...

I hear you've agreed with Mitch to screw me to the wall.

Just one thing...

He'll need a cheque made out...

Yeah, don't laugh,

It could happen.

Ok.

Yeah, well I gotta dash...

ok, I'll get those figures to you before I head off.

Cheers.

Look, you can't go, Noel.

I'm tied up with the Jackson claim...

And we've got a meeting with EuroCorp on Friday.

I'll be back in time, don't worry.

You don't understand.

I... I haven't completed the cover yet.

What?

We had the bastards nailed Barry.

What are you going to do, let them walk all over us?

Sorry.

I just got caught out.

I'm sick of it, Barry.

I am sick of putting in 80 hours a week here.

What can I say?

You know how it is.

Look after yourself, partner.

Barry Marshall.

No...

He just stepped out for a moment.

Can I help you?

Tommy, how are you, mate...

G'day...

Noel?

You remember me?

I'm Gary.

Oh, Noel McKenzie.

Yeah.

Steve sent me out because some joker from the tax department come,

so he had to stay behind.

Car's out this way.

You right?

Ok.

Yeah...

Steve said you might look a bit different to the rest of us.

You like it?

Car.

Where'd you get it?

Got it in a Wreckers,

Just a shell, 75 bucks.

Pretty good, huh?

All I had to do was wheel the old bits off from the old car

and whack them onto this new body here.

Your mate Brian helped me do it.

Of course they all said I was mad.

Said it'd never go past the corner.

What sort of car you drive?

Mazda 626.

Oh yeah...

It's a company car.

All right, yeah, company car...

You'd have to be mad to buy one of those, you know?

They're built like a tin can.

Get in a stack in one of them...

I saw a stack in one of them once.

This guy, driving a car just the same as yours,

went smack bang up the arse of a semi.

And I had to pull over because I was a witness.

Got out, and that guy...

he was rooted.

Gary,

I don't need to hear all that, you know?

Yeah you wouldn't if you're driving it, would you?

Anyway, what do you do for a crust, Noel?

I work for a...

Hey fuckhead, where's your indicator?!

See that?

Swerved out right in front of me.

Jesus.

What's on your tape?

Do you want to hear some?

Oh, yeah...

All right.

What's wrong with you, mate?

I used to go to school with that girl.

She's all right.

Yeah, women...

sometimes I reckon you're better off without them, you know?

Jesus Christ, do you want both lanes?

Dickhead,

can you believe this guy?

Got his licence in a Wheaties packet-

Yeah.

Nearly finished, mate?

Yep, nearly.

Hi, Jimmy.

G'day Nugget.

G'day, Elvis.

How are you?

Good, mate.

How you doing?

Bloody Elvis.

That GT needs an oil change,

and the left shocker's stuffed.

Then you get back onto the Ute, all right?

Yep.

All right then Noel,

I'll see you later, mate.

Thanks for the lift.

I thought petrolheads were a dying breed.

Nah he's all right,

just employ him to keep me out of his misery.

What've they been feeding you on up there, mate?

Look like you lost a couple of stone.

I've been playing a lot of tennis.

You got to keep an eye on this, you know?

You ought to talk.

Hey, what happened to the old hardware store?

Oh, Bob retired early when they built

that new shopping complex.

He reckons it wasn't worth it anymore.

Yeah, the hairdresser place moved in straight after.

They don't seem to do much business.

A few people come and go, I suppose.

How's things here?

No complaint.

At least the old milk bar's still there.

Yeah.

Since they've been hiring out videos,

they've gone through the roof.

Did a job on their car last week,

Brand new Fairlane.

Oh, that doesn't mean much.

Forgot you move in those circles now, don't you?

How's Jude and the kids?

Good.

Claire's shot up like a beanstalk.

You'll hardly recognize her.

Mum and dad?

Yeah, fine.

Same as usual.

Yeah.

They're looking forward to seeing a successful son

from the big smoke.

Yeah.

You see the new hoist there...

No more back aches.

Better than a bought one.

It is a bought one, you goose.

Must have set you back a bit.

Nah.

Got it from a site they closed down in Woodville.

Anyway, you take the keys to my car,

Jude and the kids are expecting you.

All right.

I'll see you at home.

I got to hang around here and tidy things up, you know.

Ok.

No worries.

Catch you later.

Ok, mate.

Good to see you again.

Your brother drives a 626.

I can't help it if he's got no taste.

What's he do?

He sells insurance or something.

Oh, yeah?

How'd he get into that?

He didn't want to follow me in the old man's footsteps.

Jeez, he must be pretty good, huh?

He makes a quid.

Well, I mean, he must have been clever.

He was a fucking pain in the arse.

Hello stranger.
