13:14Arthur and Raymond Daley.
13:16Cheers.
13:18The truss is not going to take long.
13:21I wouldn't mind...
13:23Yeah?
13:27What?
13:29What wouldn't you mind?
13:32Carry on.
13:34I'll have your bags sent up to your room.
13:37Cheers.
13:38We do hope you enjoy your stay.
13:40We're looking forward to it, aren't we, Arthur?
13:43Arthur, is that flight getting to you?
13:45No, you must forgive his boyish enthusiasm.
13:48He's, er...
13:53And what?
13:55He's my nephew.
13:57All these trips across the world, all a bit much for him.
14:02He's my nephew.
14:04He's my nephew.
14:05I'm not happy.
14:21I'm not happy.
14:22But he's my nephew.
14:23He's my nephew.
14:24He's my nephew.
14:28I came toал again.
14:29I'm not happy about those trips together.
14:31It's all for sure.
14:31He needs to be one of them.
14:32G'day mate, how you going?
14:34I haven't seen you for a while.
14:35G'day Barry. Schooner, Pete, please.
14:41Well, well. If it isn't the famous private eye and full-time loner.
14:45G'day, Susan. Good morning in court.
14:47You bastard, you really don't care, do you?
14:50If a woman comes to me and says she thinks her husband's doing an awful lot of overtime,
14:53and I check it out and I take a few pictures and she gets to know the truth,
14:57what have I done wrong?
14:59People mess around. No one would have been any the wiser until you started poking your nose in.
15:04Oh, but you don't give a damn, and now I'm defending an assault charge.
15:07Exactly. You wouldn't have a job except for the likes of me.
15:11Want a beer?
15:12The day you give me a job worth doing, I'll buy the drinks.
15:17Pete! Another schooner, mate.
15:20That'll be $2.30.
15:24Yeah, Arthur. Do you know the water goes down the plug hole clockwise in Australia?
15:29What? How's it going England?
15:31Plenty clockwise.
15:33Oh, Raymond.
15:34I hope the hell I've suffered in the last 24 hours is going to yield more than that one piece
15:39of information.
15:40Come.
15:49Ah.
15:54Oi, hold on, hold on.
15:56What's this?
15:58Our finest wine, sir.
16:00He's Australian.
16:02That's right, sir.
16:03Oh, I like a man who does his bit for the economy.
16:06But when it comes to fine plonk, you must know I'm a bit of a connoisseur.
16:10Go and get us something decent.
16:12It's one prizes, sir.
16:14Yeah, so's Desert Orchid.
16:15But you'd stop short of putting your lips round him.
16:17Go on, off you go.
16:20You can't tell these colonials anything, Ray.
16:22Arthur, I think there's something we should discuss.
16:25Oh.
16:26Fire away.
16:28Oh, these prawns are lovely if you had one.
16:29It's important, Arthur.
16:31You're carrying on like the inheritance is already yours.
16:33No, don't worry.
16:35There is no doubt that Joshua Daly is my great uncle.
16:39Won't be long now.
16:44Have a nice day, Rod.
16:45And wipe that grin off your face.
16:47Somebody very close to you has just died.
17:07Good seeing you blugs again.
17:09You'll enjoy the view better this week.
17:11This is the business, ain't it, Arthur?
17:14I'm going up and down, Ray.
17:17He was all right five minutes ago.
17:22When do we get to Sydney Harbour?
17:24Oh, for...
17:26Mr. Evans wanted to see you ASAP.
17:29He's a bit of an old wowser, likes everything done by the book.
17:32What's it about?
17:33Oh, God knows.
17:35Your solicitor will sort that out.
17:36I've arranged to meet lunchtime.
17:38Solicitor?
17:39I've got you the best young lawyer in Sydney.
17:42Evans says you need one.
17:43Yeah, he would.
17:45Mason's the world over.
17:46Making work for the road.
17:48Not necessary, Bill.
17:50It's all in here.
17:51If your Mr. Evans can read English,
17:53we just have to show our faces and collect.
18:01I'm going to spend the first million on holiday home in the Isle of Sheppey.
18:05Cut out the travel.
18:07You'll feel fine after a sleep, Arthur.
18:08I won't feel fine till I've got Terra Winchester under my feet.
18:13Can the dailies come in now, please?
18:22Hey!
18:23What's going on?
18:41Please don't shout, Mr. David.
18:43I am not shouting.
18:44That is not the English way.
18:46I'm merely trying to communicate my surprise.
18:48I travelled thousands of miles expecting a cop for my great-uncle's will,
18:52only to find five other dailies expecting the same.
18:55Obviously, I hired private detectives to search every country
18:58where there seemed to be a connection with the deceased who wouldn't expect me to do otherwise.
19:01You could have saved yourself the bother.
19:03You've seen my documents.
19:04I need to examine those at a later date to check they're genuine.
19:07Genuine?
19:08How dare you?
19:09Come on, Arthur.
19:09Mr. Evans has got a job to do.
19:11We can talk about it later after you've rested.
19:13Rest?
19:13I don't need rest.
19:14I need a lawyer.
19:15Someone with an English sense of fair play.
19:18I can recommend...
19:19I'd rather you didn't make things worse, Mr. Evans.
19:21Arthur, come on.
19:23This changes my whole attitude of body line.
19:27I don't like it.
19:28I haven't had a chance to research, plan.
19:30I thought I'd just turned up, signed on the dotted line.
19:32You thought wrong.
19:33It's too risky.
19:34I want out.
19:34You don't get it, do you?
19:36Do you?
19:37You've got no option on this, Rod.
19:38I've been playing this for weeks.
19:40And you've got too many bad deaths to say no.
19:43You're Joshua Daly's illegitimate son because I say you are.
19:46And you've got to stay that way until I tell you you can stop.
19:49What about the others?
19:51Shouldn't be a problem.
19:52Your paperwork's good.
19:53Did it myself.
19:55Pom was shouting the odds.
19:57Yes, I hear.
19:59He needs checking.
20:07Are you sure, Arthur?
20:09You've seen the prices in it.
20:10Uncle Joshua will provide.
20:12Yeah, and how much is this lawyer going to cost, eh?
20:14I want justice, Ray.
20:16McCabe says he knows the best.
20:17Price doesn't come into it.
20:18Arthur, what if it turns out to be one of the other dailies?
20:21You've seen the documentation.
20:23I am a genuine article.
20:38Arthur, Ray, this is Susan Hamilton.
20:42She's your lawyer.
20:43Pleased to meet you.
20:44How do you do?
20:45Pleased to meet you.
20:57Oh, you're all right, Arthur.
21:00You're all right, Arthur.
21:13We've seen the papers.
21:14Some are set out.
21:15Clear as day.
21:17Now, without wishing to cast aspersions...
21:22I'd like to look into the exact working of the will.
21:25It may be that Joshua had assets that could be split as well as Paradise Springs.
21:29Paradise Springs?
21:30Joshua's estate.
21:31I gather that's what it's called.
21:33But I imagine that'll go intact.
21:36As I say, I won't know until I speak to Evans.
21:38What should we do meantime?
21:39Well, if there's anything else that you can dredge up that links Arthur to Joshua, let me know.
21:44What?
21:45Any more way?
21:46Arthur.
21:47Come on, you'll pass the cell by, don't you?
21:49Raymond, if you're knackered, don't be afraid to say so.
21:53Don't be embarrassed because you're not used to it.
21:55This way.
21:56Excuse me.
21:57I'm going to get him back to the hotel.
21:59Arthur.
22:00Out.
22:01Who was that woman?
22:03Who was that woman?
22:20Well, you know what to do.
22:24It's 512.27.
22:27I don't know, Arthur.
22:28Are you sure you're up to it?
22:29I mean, you've only had an hour's kit.
22:31Well, kill two birds with one stone.
22:33See the family heirlooms and establish an irrefutable link.
22:36Yeah, but you still wouldn't be over the jet lag.
22:38Yeah, I never felt better in my life.
22:39Hello.
22:40Is everything okay, sir?
22:41Oh, lovely.
22:41And the other wine, the pink fizzy stuff.
22:43Excellent.
22:44Where'd you like?
22:45You bung a crate up in the room, will you, for when we get back.
22:47A crate?
22:48Well, save and send it down every five minutes.
22:50Stick it on my account.
22:51What do you say, sir?
22:54Arthur, that was a 50 you gave him.
22:57Yeah, it's only Australian money, though, isn't it?
23:01Good day, Mr. Daly.
23:03Your car's waiting for you outside, sir.
23:05Oh, sir.
23:05Stick it on my slate, will you?
23:07Yeah, my bill.
23:08Of course.
23:09May I ask where you're going, sir?
23:11I beg your pardon?
23:13Well, I was wondering where you're going.
23:16There's no such thing as privacy on this island.
23:18Oh, it's nothing personal, sir.
23:19It's just that once outside the city, people have been known to get lost.
23:23Oh, ha-ha.
23:24No, no, no.
23:25Be prepared.
23:26Tradition drummed into every Englishman from the age when he's first able to fix his own
23:30woggle.
23:31Yes, sir.
23:32Are we going to see the family mansion?
23:33Oh.
23:34Just nipping up the road.
23:36Probably be back in about an hour or so.
23:37Well, enjoy yourselves.
23:39Good day.
23:53No, I'm going to leave my coat with reception.
24:02Hey.
24:07Yeah.
24:17Hey, Ray, stop mucking about.
24:19If I wanted a tonk to toy, I'd have asked for one.
24:21But they all use them over here.
24:23I deal for when you get off the main roads.
24:24Ray, I am navigating.
24:26We will not be going off the main roads.
24:46Well, any ideas?
24:47Ray, do you think Columbus had his second lieutenant breathing over his shoulder
24:52while he was trying to negotiate the great unknown?
24:55Columbus went 7,000 miles out of his way, Arthur.
24:58My point, exactly.
25:01Turn left.
25:02Turn left?
25:03Yeah.
25:04Where? Where do I turn left?
25:05Up, up ahead.
25:06Up ahead is all there is, Arthur. It never ends.
25:09It's forward or backwards. There's nowhere to turn two.
25:12Keep calm, Ray. Keep calm. I know exactly where we are.
25:15It's just a question of finding it on the map.
25:34We are lost, Arthur.
25:37No, we aren't.
25:57It's not my fault. It's a map. If I could find Bork, Paradise Springs is behind it.
26:02Let's have a look.
26:06What's that?
26:08It's a lorry.
26:09I'll flag him down. He'll put us straight.
26:18I think they stopped to have a brew-up.
26:20Arthur, you're seeing things.
26:24Look, it's a mirage.
26:25I am not. I know lorry drivers.
26:28All the same, the world over.
26:30Two tea bags every ten miles.
26:35I'm telling you, there's nothing out there.
26:39We're on our own.
26:51Spirit of El Alamein.
26:54Remember Monty Way.
27:01If there's nothing in her office, then the documents are with Daley.
27:05If they're so valuable he won't let them out of his sight,
27:08then I really think we need to have a look at them, don't you?
27:10Find out what we're up against.
27:13Get after him. Get the documents.
27:15I don't care what you do, just get them.
27:17I knew this was a mistake.
27:18It'll be getting dark soon.
27:20Arthur, let me concentrate.
27:21That's when they come out.
27:22What do?
27:23Spiders.
27:24What you going on about?
27:25I read about them in a book.
27:27Killer spiders.
27:29Like toupees on legs.
27:31That's why there's so much open space.
27:33They've eaten everything.
27:34Give over.
27:35Yeah.
27:36Yeah.
27:36Ah!
27:37Leg it, Ray!
27:41Ray!
27:43Ray!
27:50Ray?
27:56G'day.
27:57Can you call Mr. Daley's suite, please?
27:59Tell them it's Bill McKay.
28:00I'm afraid Mr. Daley and his nephew are out.
28:02Can I take a message?
28:03Where'd they go?
28:05I'm looking after them while they're in town.
28:09They went for a drive.
28:11A drive?
28:12They shouldn't be too long.
28:13You could care to wait.
28:14They're just nipping up the road.
28:16Did they say where exactly?
28:17Family mansion or something.
28:20Oh, jeez.
28:29Still want to wire it, Arthur.
28:31Why can't we stay inside?
28:33The wind's as hot as the sun.
28:35Greenhouse effect.
28:37Otherwise, when you use the wrong deodorant or something.
28:39Yeah, that as well.
28:41We'd be safe in there.
28:43We'd fry, Arthur.
28:44Off the ground.
28:45This is tarantula country, Ray.
28:47There are no tarantulas here.
28:49It's said in the book.
28:50Look, I'm sure there are tarantulas in Australia.
28:52But they're only dangerous when you corner them.
28:54Given the fact there are no corners here, as far as the eye can see,
28:57I think we can assume that we're going to be pretty safe.
28:59All right, Raymond.
29:00All right.
29:00There's no need for sudden outbreaks.
29:02We need to stay cool.
29:04Especially if there are snakes around.
29:25It's no good, Arthur.
29:27This car's had it.
29:28Yeah, what's up?
29:30Arthur, you all right?
29:33I'm dying, Ray.
29:35And I've never seen my inheritance.
29:38Paradise Springs.
29:40Land of milk and honey, Ray.
29:42I have plans.
29:45Six months.
29:47Sunshine.
29:48Creature comforts.
29:50I'm fading fast, Ray.
29:52You've just had a bit too much, son, that's all.
29:55I mean, you're still alone over from the flight.
29:56That's it, isn't it?
29:57If I go first, Ray.
30:00Help yourself.
30:01You what?
30:03There's not much on me, but I'd rather you add it than the vultures.
30:06Vultures?
30:07Chapter 11.
30:08Arthur, you're going to be fine.
30:10Trust me.
30:10Oh.
30:11Mr. Frye-Daly.
30:12You forget it.
30:13You're a good boy, Ray.
30:15Best thing I ever did, taking you off, off, off.
30:18What's up?
30:19What?
30:38Smile at it, Ray.
30:40A smile?
30:41Yeah, like you said earlier.
30:43It needs to know we're friendly.
30:45I moved!
30:46No, it didn't.
30:48Do you ever go to sleep?
30:49I don't know.
30:50You're the Australian wildlife expert.
30:51What do you say in the book?
30:52I don't know.
30:53Didn't get that far.
30:54I was too upsetting.
30:56See if its eyelids are getting at me.
31:00Arthur, I'm not about to start eyeballing a dangerous animal.
31:03We could sink, do it?
31:09Oh, save!
31:11No subtle movements, Ray.
31:13Act natural.
31:22You blokes scared me to death.
31:24If you don't know these roads, you can soon...
31:26Is everything all right?
31:29You've got a smack in the mouth, Arthur.
31:31Spider.
31:34Oh, yeah.
31:38So, what's the problem with the car?
31:46We were doing fine, and then Ray seemed to drift off the main road.
31:50This is the main road.
31:52What?
31:52It's a desert.
31:54You will send Bo Chester across here.
31:56I will never complain about the state of the North Circular again.
32:00Joshua will live here all his life, then?
32:01Well, Paradise Springs, yeah, never cared much for the city.
32:05He had all he needed up at the house.
32:07Just got on with his work, let the world turn without him.
32:10The mark of a daily, Mr. McCabe.
32:12Self-sufficiency.
32:14Is that what you call it?
32:15Too much further.
32:17Another couple of k's.
32:19I hope nothing's been touched.
32:21You worried about thieves, Arthur?
32:23Ray, Ray, no.
32:24Nothing so callous.
32:25No, I just want to feel sure that everything is the way great-uncle Joshua left him.
32:31I need to feel the man's spirit, Ray.
32:34I want to hear his voice.
32:36In fact, I'd appreciate a couple of minutes alone in the house when we get there.
32:41I don't put my hands in the house when we get there.
33:11I want to hear it.
33:17All right, Arthur, can we, er, go in?
33:22Did he speak to you, Arthur?
33:24Did he ever have, er, anyone from the Ministry of Health round to look at this place?
33:28Oh, he wouldn't have anyone around, apparently.
33:31Like I said, he had everything he wanted here, kept himself to himself.
33:34It's very, er...
33:36Cozy?
33:37Primitive.
33:38I must say, I wasn't expecting anything quite so prehistoric.
33:41Didn't believe in mod cons, old Josh.
33:43I had a walk through roof.
33:45Oh, when he first got out here, he slept under canvas.
33:47Couldn't get used to anything solid around him.
33:50Hardly ever rains here.
33:51When it did, he probably slept in the kitchen.
33:54What about the springs?
33:55Oh, there were some ones.
33:58There aren't any more.
34:03Well, let's have a look, then.
34:06Raymond, you remember those trips down Brick Lane when you were little?
34:10How I could never quite describe what it was like living in the East End in the 40s?
34:15Yeah.
34:26Cheer up, Arthur.
34:27The land must be worth the fortune.
34:29Too right.
34:30Farming rights, mining, he owned thousands of acres.
34:34Imagine what kind of a miser it'd sit on a fortune like that rather than spend it.
34:38Yeah, imagine.
34:42I will not take responsibility for an accident which can be laid squarely at the feet of the Ministry of
34:46Highways.
34:47Had there been any indication that we wasn't off the road, we'd never have stopped to check the map to
34:52see how we'll get back onto it.
34:53On top of which, the key was faulty.
34:57The nation of berserkers, Ray.
35:00Susan, my office has been ransacked.
35:03There's nothing there that I can think anyone would want that badly.
35:06This must have something to do with you.
35:11It's the file they must be after.
35:13You really should get rid of it.
35:15Put it in the hotel safe.
35:16I've travelled halfway across the world, my dear.
35:18With Charles and Di by my side, I'm not going to desert them now.
35:21Look, the kind of bloke who tears up offices isn't going to think twice about coming on heavy with you.
35:26Daddy, Australian mail holds no fears for me.
35:29One harsh word and the tears are never far behind.
35:32I mean, look at that Prime Minister you used to have.
35:34Never on the box without resorting to the Kleenex.
35:37Susan's right, Arthur.
35:39You'd be best to come to my place.
35:41I do not run scared, Bill.
35:44My room and a soupçon or something English from the kitchen will be rod and staff enough.
35:48So long as you're sure, the dailies do not scare easily.
35:51So you won't mind being on your own tonight then, Arthur?
35:54Why? Where are you going?
35:55He needs a break. So do I.
35:57I won't keep him out too late.
35:59Get a good night's sleep, Arthur. Big day tomorrow.
36:01Come on, Ray.
36:04I do not believe the woman.
36:06No wonder Ned Kelly wore armour.
36:08Listen, Susan Hamilton is not my favourite person in the world.
36:12She's put me in contempt of court more times than I care to remember.
36:14Plus, she seems to think she's the only principal person in the whole bloody country.
36:18But she's hardly guilty of dragging Ray off against his will.
36:21I've got his morals to think of.
36:23You seem fairly happy to me.
36:25No, that is the English way.
36:26Put a brave face on things.
36:28That boy has led a sheltered life.
36:30And he's shy.
36:31A dangerous combination.
36:32Well, if he gets really worried, he can always shout for help.
36:35No, no, no. My Ray's not a squealer.
36:37He'll bear it with fortitude. His family.
36:39All right, I'd better be going.
36:40I've got a few things to do.
36:42What, now?
36:43Bill, don't forget to bolt your door when you get back.
36:46If anyone knocks, get them to speak and only open up to a voice you recognise.
36:49That British thing having a go, forget it.
36:52Oh, I will. I will.
36:53Okay.
36:54See you at my place 12 o'clock tomorrow.
36:56Have a good night.
36:58Bill?
36:59Bill?
37:00Have you seen a view from my room?
37:02Bill?
37:03So, where are we going then?
37:05Get something to eat.
37:06A couple of beers.
37:07Yeah, but what about the sights?
37:10Well, the opera house is over there.
37:12The zoo's down there.
37:13Botany Bay's up there.
37:15You want more?
37:16Come on.
37:17Get in the car.
37:22Now we can get on with having a nice, quiet evening.
37:30Who's all of them?
37:31All six.
37:41G'day, you old bugger.
37:42How's life on the force?
37:46Hey, listen, mate.
37:47I need a favour.
37:48Rodney Thompson.
37:49I thought he was still in jail.
37:52Oh, really?
37:53Well, could you get his address for me and run a rego check?
37:56New South Wales plate, R1-0.
37:59Yes, they might be connected.
38:01Oh, that's cute, mate.
38:01Where can you let me know by?
38:04Okay, give us a ring in the office first thing.
38:06See ya.
38:21Ah!
38:22Arthur?
38:24What time did you call this?
38:26Well, I went out clubbing, didn't I?
38:28Yeah, anyway, what time did you call it, then?
38:31Well, I thought I might have to come and rescue you.
38:33Might be being brutalised or something.
38:35You've got some real funny ideas about Australia,
38:38then, do you, Arthur?
38:41Yeah, I suppose I've been a bit unfair
38:43on our cousins down under.
38:46I mean, when all's said and done,
38:49when the surf's settled,
38:52basically, they're English, aren't they?
38:53I mean, from years ago.
38:59Yeah, right, hang on.
39:01Yeah, go on.
39:03Yeah?
39:05Yeah.
39:06Right.
39:07Oh, bloody beauty, mate.
39:09I owe you one.
39:12G'day, Mr. Daly.
39:29Ray, I can't stand this heat.
39:31We should get some different clothes.
39:33Raymond,
39:34we are sartorial ambassadors.
39:36At what time are we rooting Susan and McCabe?
39:39At 12, what?
39:40What's up?
39:40I think we've got company.
39:42Don't stop.
39:44We just have to keep nice and public.
39:46I think we should keep nice and public.
40:09All right.
40:11I'm glad you were in my age.
40:12I'm glad you were in my age.
40:13No problem.
40:15escrever News
40:15starting to take June 2.
40:16Ah, Mr. Dane.
40:29Oh, come on.
40:35Come on. Cagging's up. Do something.
40:39Look, meet me at the pier and try and blend in with the locals.
40:45Yes?
40:50His name's Rodney Thompson, just out of jail.
40:54He's the stooge. Read your man.
40:57Take your pick, fraud, forgery, criminal deception.
41:00Not that you'll get anything on him, I just thought you'd be interested.
41:16Oh, I'm so close.
41:16I'm so close.
41:17Oh, yeah, what?
41:17What?
41:17Oh.
41:20I know where you are.
41:21Oh, yes, please.
41:22I'm so loud.
41:29You know what Lee was here?
41:30I know where's he at the bus, too, but that's fine.
41:45Oh, where have you guys been?
41:46I suddenly felt like going for a run.
41:48You all right?
41:48Yeah, I think so.
41:50Arthur, aren't you a little old for that?
41:51I'm blending in.
41:52Did you lose him, Ray?
41:53Yeah.
41:53Lose who?
41:54Him.
41:56Oh, my God, he's brought his brother with him.
41:57Come on, Arthur.
41:58Good luck, Ray.
42:00Arthur!
42:17Yeah, Rolf Farris.
42:19What?
42:23Bad move.
42:33Have a go, you man!
42:37Good on you, Ray.
42:38Where's the others?
42:39No, I've had it.
42:43I need a peel of a collard and an oxygen tent.
42:45Look how far, mate!
42:47Oh, God.
43:00You carry on.
43:01I'll try to sign down.
43:02Absolutely not.
43:03Paige, you're not dead yet.
43:05All that medical insurance is back at the hotel.
43:12One more step and I might be forced to let the royals have a swim.
43:15Arthur!
43:16They want to destroy what's in there.
43:18Oh.
43:21Arthur!
43:21Oh, thank God.
43:26As you know, I have undertaken considerable research in order to discover Joshua Daly's
43:32descendants and, consequently, to apportion his estate.
43:38Apportion?
43:39However, it is now clear that the inheritance will pass undivided to the single extant claimant with prior title.
43:46What's he on about?
43:47What's he on about?
43:48That is, of closest family.
43:49Family, Ray.
43:51I felt that in the desert with Josh, the bond.
43:53Joshua was a man who liked to keep himself to himself, but during his time stuck out in
44:00the never-never, he became versed in one or two rural practices.
44:04The daily way merge with the environment.
44:07It appears that in this period he took a partner, but not legally.
44:12Not the first four, in fact.
44:13He undertook a series of vows not recognized by the courts.
44:18The offspring were, therefore, disregarded in relation to his will.
44:22Every man is entitled to one aberration.
44:25Of the three marriages he undertook on his walkabout in the 1930s, one was joined under civil law.
44:35I'd rather use the phrase walkabout.
44:37This marriage, solemnized in the Central Registry Office Melbourne, produced a sum.
44:43No, no, stop the proceedings.
44:45It's a ringer.
44:46I demand, I demand a recount.
44:49Joshua Daly's sole heir is Dimitri Vasilis Aristotle Daly.
44:56Yes!
44:59Good.
45:04How could you do that?
45:06He's family, Arthur.
45:08Who isn't?
45:10He's definitely the one, no doubt about it.
45:13I'm sorry.
45:14I can't believe Uncle Joshua was such a gad about family everywhere.
45:18You came real close, Arthur.
45:20I still think there was something iffy about the handshake Evans gave Aristotle.
45:24Oh, come on, Arthur, it's not all bad.
45:25We've had some good times.
45:27I've enjoyed myself.
45:28Might give Susan another job sometime.
45:30I might even take it.
45:32Goodbye, Arthur.
45:33Goodbye.
45:34Thanks for the tour of the sites.
45:40Well, I'm glad you're all happy.
45:42All I've had is a few plates of overdeveloped shrimps and a day trip to the Cagliari.
45:47Hardly compensation for losing the family fortunes and being introduced to Stavros Dalyopoulos.
45:52With all due respect, I cannot wait to get home.
45:55How soon are you going?
45:57I was going to ask you that.
45:58Do we have to go back on any special day?
45:59No, any time.
46:00Buy a standard single, go back when you like.
46:05Bye.
46:08Why didn't you read it?
46:09I did.
46:10You didn't read it properly.
46:11If you'd let me near the tickets, I'd have sussed it.
46:12I don't know why you're losing them and getting us into trouble.
46:15Trouble?
46:16What do you call this?
46:17We will provide two single tickets to Sydney and bed and breakfast accommodation.
46:21I must have been over-emotional when I got the invite.
46:24Yeah, and over-extravagant since you moved into this hotel.
46:26I mean, how are we going to pay for all this?
46:28Champagne, room service, minibar, cigars, laundry.
46:32I mean, even Mel Gibson couldn't afford what you've been ordering.
46:35Is there any left in there?
46:36Oh, arp!
46:37No, temper, temper.
46:38Ray, very ugly.
46:39Remember Khrushchev?
46:40We're stuffed.
46:41We haven't got enough cash left for a bus to Bondi, never mind the air tickets.
46:45We cannot afford to pay this hotel bill.
46:53We're going to have to do a runner.
46:54Ray, if you think a man in my position is going to have scone from one of the world's
46:59top hotels without paying, you're very much mistaken.
47:03Okay.
47:04Any other suggestions?
47:07I think the fire exit's favourite.
47:09Go on.
47:14Yeah, go on.
47:15All right.
47:16All right.
