Short filmTranscript
00:04I'm David Ferrier and today I meet a man who's chosen to carve his own path in a small community.
00:09He's looking past the trees and into the ocean beyond.
00:14Ron Taylor.
00:15Ron!
00:16I just saw a whale and you should have had the cameras on it!
00:42This is Ron Taylor and this is Ron's preferred method of getting around town.
00:48But don't be fooled by his modest form of transportation.
00:50He runs a successful whale watching business from the shores of Peninsula Bay.
00:55And it all started here.
00:58Are you guys recording now, are you?
01:00OK.
01:00Oh yep, now sweet as Colin.
01:02I'll help you out for today even though I don't actually work here.
01:06Officially.
01:08Officially.
01:10So what's on the menu here?
01:11I've got to be honest with you, most people come here for the chips.
01:14Best chips in town.
01:15Well, only chips in town.
01:17Did you enjoy working here?
01:18Oh yeah man, this is the place, you know.
01:22See a lot of, see all the A's back there?
01:24That's our motto.
01:26On account of Colin not being very good with hearing.
01:29Hey.
01:30Hey.
01:31Hey.
01:31Hey.
01:32Hey.
01:32Hey.
01:33Hey.
01:33There we go.
01:35That's a good place to work, I've got to be honest with you.
01:37Although, you know, for me, working in a fish and chip shop just wasn't the ideal dream,
01:41you know, for a young go-getter.
01:43I set my sights a little higher than just dipping hot dogs in batter.
01:46Here.
01:49Oh, no, there he is.
01:51No, just, oh, you can hear, you can hear when you want to hear, can't you, eh?
01:55Hey?
01:56Selective hearing.
01:57Nah, he's good.
01:58Hey?
01:59Hey?
01:59Are you making fun of me?
02:00No.
02:01Are you making fun of me?
02:01You make your fun of me?
02:03You want to be on camera?
02:05No.
02:05No, you get down.
02:07Go and talk to him, he's a, he's a laugh.
02:10Have you come?
02:11Here he comes.
02:13He's eating, he's eating.
02:16This is Ron's previous employer, Colin.
02:19Colin owns hook, line and thinker, fish and chips.
02:22Did you come up with a name?
02:24Yeah.
02:24Yeah, I got a degree in philosophy.
02:27Oh, you can get it on camera there, that's good.
02:29Yeah.
02:31You've known Ron since the school days.
02:34Did he strike you as the type of kid that would do well?
02:36He's an ideas man, I'll give him that.
02:38You know, he'll have three, four, four ideas a day.
02:42Most of them will be, um, shit ideas.
02:46But, uh, even on then he surprises you with a real gem.
02:50Like whale watching?
02:52Nah, that, that's one of his shit ones.
02:55Oh.
02:57Hey, I'm not paying you to snorkel, mate.
03:00Snorkel-o-ficus.
03:02Why are you so deep down there?
03:05We're going to have another game, there's no customers.
03:07They're going to have one little game.
03:09You've locked the door, haven't you?
03:10No!
03:10You locked the door.
03:12Look back here.
03:13That's the fourth time you've done that.
03:16I used to play this game all the time, man.
03:18Yeah.
03:19How much money do you reckon you spent in here?
03:21Ah, well, let me see.
03:22I've been working here seven years, 300 a week.
03:25What's that?
03:26Seven times three.
03:2721.
03:2721.
03:29Yeah, probably spent about 21 grand a week.
03:33But I still own it.
03:34Yeah, you still own it.
03:36Actually, that's a good point.
03:37I probably went straight back into the shop.
03:39No wonder he let me play it all the time.
03:40That's my retirement fund.
03:43Is that right?
03:44Yeah.
03:44Ah, difficult.
03:48Yeah, so this is where I come to get away from it all.
03:50Often look out at the sea.
03:52I feel the sea beckoning me.
03:54And sometimes Colin, I can hear Colin beckoning me.
03:57Not supposed to be up here.
04:00Talk about the land of opportunities, but no one ever mentions the sea of opportunities,
04:04do they?
04:05Pretty sure I've heard that one before.
04:07Oh, you've heard the sea?
04:10What about this one?
04:11Here's a new one.
04:12There's plenty more fish in the sea.
04:14You heard?
04:15Definitely heard that one.
04:16Oh, yeah, I think I've picked that up off someone else actually.
04:20Anyway, this is where I saw my first whale.
04:23I was just looking out there one day and there it was in the ocean.
04:30I couldn't believe it.
04:31I said to myself, wow, that's nature.
04:35Then I thought to myself, what am I doing talking to myself, you know?
04:38Had a bit of a laugh at that.
04:40What happened?
04:42Hang on, David, I'm not finished.
04:43And then I thought to myself, hang on.
04:45Whales?
04:47And I clicked.
04:49Whaling's in my family.
04:50It's natural.
04:52It's part of my heritage.
04:55It's in my blood.
04:58Since Ron Taylor's whale watching ventures began,
05:01he's had a number of boats in what he refers to as his fleet.
05:05And then here's the pierster resistance.
05:09This is my granddad's boat.
05:12So she's a beautiful vessel.
05:13Yeah.
05:14And I'm not actually supposed to be using it,
05:15but as the dad finds out, I will be...
05:19Oh, well, no, that's all good.
05:21No.
05:21Oop.
05:22Phone call there.
05:23Sorry, hang on, mate.
05:24Ron Taylor's whale ventures.
05:28Yep.
05:29Oh.
05:30Yeah, no, that's the right place.
05:32Hang on a second, mate.
05:32Ron decided years ago an office wasn't for him.
05:36So, armed with a pen, an A5 ring binder diary,
05:38and a mobile phone,
05:40he takes bookings wherever he happens to be.
05:42And that's party, party of four?
05:44Okay.
05:45Yeah, just come down about 10.30.
05:47And, uh, yeah, bring, bring, uh, things you should bring.
05:50Bring a hat.
05:51Have you got a hat?
05:52Have you got any, any life jackets?
05:54Have you got...
05:55No.
05:56No, I'm just asking.
05:57No, I've got, I've got one.
05:58Got one for myself, but if, if you guys want one,
06:00that's up to you.
06:01Yep.
06:01Okay.
06:02All right, thank you.
06:03Yep, no worries.
06:05Okay.
06:05See ya.
06:07Wow.
06:07Booking there?
06:08Yeah, yeah.
06:10Always got to be ready for the bookings.
06:12They come in thick and fast, you know,
06:13so I can put the phone on me in here.
06:15And another one here.
06:18Ron Taylor's whale watch ventures.
06:21Yeah.
06:23What?
06:24No.
06:25Excuse me.
06:25Yeah.
06:26Wait.
06:27Sorry, mate.
06:28I'm talking now.
06:29It is, as specified on the poster, you might possibly see a whale.
06:33Okay?
06:34Possibly.
06:34It doesn't mean you're going to see one definitely.
06:37Yes.
06:38It's nature.
06:39It's nature.
06:40I have so seen them.
06:41Well, you go through those channels.
06:43No, you, that's fine by me.
06:44No, you go through those channels.
06:46I'm not even on their box.
06:47I'm not a registered com...
06:48Not a registered company, so...
06:50Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.
06:53Okay, bye.
06:56You all right, Ron?
06:57Oh, yeah.
06:58Just, you know, some people just go out of their way to bring you down, you know?
07:02What they don't understand is whales, they're scarce creatures.
07:06That's what makes it such a thrill when you see one.
07:09If they were as common as birds, who would pay to see them?
07:13Bird watchers?
07:15Yeah, maybe.
07:19Oh, no.
07:21Here we go, look.
07:22Who's that?
07:24That's Tom.
07:25He's a rival whale watcher.
07:27Operates out of the other bay.
07:29Bloody charlatan.
07:31I should have known he'd turn up.
07:33Look at that boat.
07:34Ridiculous.
07:38What are you doing in my area, Tom?
07:40What?
07:41This is my jurisdiction.
07:47Bloody, thank you guys for coming.
07:48Thank you, mate.
07:49Thank you for coming, mate.
07:53Two more happy customers, mate.
07:55Saw two humpback in a spermie today.
07:58What are you filming this clown for?
08:00I've told you before, Ron, you're way out of your depth, mate.
08:04Lead the whale watch into the big boys.
08:05I was the one who saw whales in this bay.
08:07I'm the one who started the whole thing.
08:09There's no whales in this bay, Ron.
08:11What Tinky Tailor whale failure for?
08:12What I forgot to tell you is you need to head out way beyond this point over here to see
08:16some whales.
08:17Rubbish.
08:17I've seen 36 in one sitting.
08:22That doesn't count, Ron.
08:24They were stranded.
08:27A whale's a whale, Tom.
08:29Not that you'd care.
08:30A woman's a woman, Ron.
08:32Not that you'd know.
08:34At least I don't have an over-inflated ego.
08:39Over-inflated boat, over-inflated ego, over-inflated stupid jacket.
08:45Much like a whale surfacing for oxygen, Ron appears to be having a blowout.
08:56We're finally out at sea.
08:58Not far out, fortunately, but we're out.
09:01Okay, keep your eyes peeled, everyone.
09:03I don't think we're out deep enough, Ron.
09:05Yes, we are, Colin.
09:06Oh, can I have a go with those binoculars?
09:08In a minute, Jason.
09:10Are you sure whales come this close into shore?
09:14Unfortunately, I think we've all seen how close they come in, David.
09:17Okay?
09:17They've got no sense of depth.
09:19That's why they keep getting stranded.
09:21It's like, you know, have you ever seen an incredibly fat man driving a very small car?
09:25Yeah.
09:26It's the same sort of thing.
09:27The more weight you have, the less spatial awareness you have.
09:36Oh, look.
09:38Seagull.
09:39There's all sorts of exciting things down here.
09:41Yeah.
09:41They don't want a beer.
09:43Oh, no drinking on the boat, Colin.
09:44Oh, they're light beers, Ron.
09:46Oh, no.
09:47That's not a light beer.
09:48Look how heavy that is.
09:49How many of those have you got?
09:50Only eight.
09:51Oh, Colin.
09:52What?
09:52We're not out of here for a week.
09:54The water is very close to the top of the boat here, Ron.
09:59Yep.
10:00I don't think we're out deep in the front.
10:02Change the record, Colin.
10:04Just look out for whales.
10:06Who wants a turn with the binoculars?
10:08Can I have a go?
10:09Soon, Jason.
10:10In a minute.
10:12I'd like to try.
10:14Okay.
10:14I hear that the Scouts lost three of their life checkers.
10:17Do you know anything about it, Ron?
10:19No.
10:20Here, I'll have a go.
10:24No.
10:25Nothing?
10:26Nothing behind us.
10:32It's just that everyone's had a go with the binoculars now,
10:34and now you've got them again.
10:36I thought we'd go on a circle or something.
10:38Just keep an eye out, everyone.
10:40Who hasn't had a go with the binoculars?
10:43I haven't had a go.
10:43Do it a second round, David.
10:45There we go.
10:46Yeah.
10:50I don't think we're deep enough here.
10:52Yes, we are.
10:54Ron is an expert in his field, and over the years, he's devised a number of ways to attract whales.
11:00I haven't witnessed many, actually any, of these techniques before.
11:05What is it?
11:07This, Colin, is a whale call recording device.
11:11Hook it up to a microphone.
11:12It has a little amplifier on there.
11:15Now we do the whale calls.
11:22That's how you do it, guys.
11:24Come on.
11:37He's saying where are you, but like a whale.
11:54We've been out at sea for over two hours and 24 minutes.
11:58It's hot, and so far, not a whale in sight.
12:01Although we have seen lots of bird life and possibly one small fish, but that might have been a reflection
12:06of a bird.
12:09Guys, I'm pretty sure the tide's out.
12:13What?
12:13What are you talking about?
12:15No.
12:15Definitely, definitely out.
12:17Jason, can you see the bottom?
12:19Hey?
12:19Yeah, I've been looking at phages.
12:20I thought it was part of it.
12:21It was a little crab.
12:23Ah.
12:23Colin!
12:24Why didn't you tell me we went out deep enough?
12:26I did, Ron.
12:27I told you three times that we weren't out deep enough, Ron.
12:30I told you, didn't I?
12:31What?
12:31Yeah, three times.
12:33I'm at four times, can't we?
12:34Sorry, guys.
12:35I should have told them four times.
12:36Sorry.
12:37Okay, everybody out.
12:39Sorry, everyone.
12:41Okay.
12:41That's all right, Ron.
12:42Wait, guys.
12:43I've got it.
12:44No one leaves Ron's whale ventures empty-handed.
12:47We can look for selfish.
12:48Selfish.
12:49What?
12:50Selfish, man.
12:51You're selfish.
12:52At least I'm providing some kai moana.
12:54Yeah, yeah.
12:55You got any bags, Ron?
12:56Yeah, there's some bags.
12:57Oh, sweet.
12:58Selfish bag.
12:59Selfish.
13:02Oh, that's the last one.
13:03I'll take that one, David.
13:04Okay.
13:06Just collect as many as you want, guys.
13:08It's all on me.
13:11Oh, yeah.
13:12I've got some good cobbles here.
13:14That's from my mum.
13:15Here's another.
13:16That's from my dad.
13:17That's from my auntie.
13:19With a beard.
13:21This one looks like Jake's.
13:24Hey!
13:27Come on, boys.
13:29Come on.
13:31Maybe someone's reported me missing again.
13:34I've been shellfishing, happy boys.
13:36No.
13:37What's in the bag?
13:38Oh, yep.
13:40Let's have a look.
13:44Come on, guys.
13:45You know the bag limit here.
13:4630 per person per day.
13:48Well, how are we supposed to know that?
13:50It's on the side.
13:51Oh, that's nice.
13:53Is it new?
13:53No, it's not.
13:54Yes, it is.
13:55It's not.
13:55It's new.
13:56It's not new.
13:57I've never seen it.
13:58You haven't?
13:59It needs to be somewhere more obvious.
14:00It's on the beach.
14:03Well, these guys are Maori, so we're allowed a bit more, I think.
14:06Ron, I'm not a Maori, I'm Samoan.
14:08Oh, shh.
14:09I'm Tongan.
14:11Tongan?
14:11Yeah.
14:12I thought you were Samoan.
14:13Yeah, I thought you were Samoan.
14:15How many are you allowed?
14:16I've got less than you guys.
14:18He came around to eat all the Samoan food in my house.
14:21I know.
14:22Yeah, I thought you were Samoan.
14:23It doesn't matter, guys.
14:25Iwi rules don't apply.
14:27Ron, this is your third offence.
14:29But, I'm a four times guy.
14:31Grow up and be a none times guy.
14:33You haven't paid your last two tickets.
14:35You can't afford this one.
14:37You're going to have to impound your boat.
14:39No, not the boat.
14:40Please, Mike.
14:41The boat's innocent.
14:42Rules are rules.
14:43We collected the shellfish.
14:44Shellfish.
14:45Shellfish.
14:45You're shellfish.
14:46And when you can pay the fine, then you can pick your boat up.
14:52500.
14:52500.
14:53That's the law.
14:54500.
14:54Man, I'm never going to be able to afford that.
14:56Please, that's my grandad's boat.
14:58Well, your grandad's not here now, is he?
15:00Oh.
15:01I'm sorry, mate.
15:02I didn't mean that.
15:05Well, you can go get it then.
15:07Eh?
15:08I'm not getting it.
15:11Oh, come on, boys.
15:13Nah.
15:17Come on, Jase.
15:20He migrated back to his favourite spot.
15:23I thought he...
15:24Um.
15:25I suppose not.
15:26So I probably won't act as alone as I normally would.
15:29You okay up there?
15:30Just thinking about my dad.
15:32If he finds out I got the boat impounded, I'll be dead.
15:35That's the family boat.
15:36You know?
15:37This will be the camel that broke the straw's back.
15:40Dad will make me move to Auckland.
15:41I just know it.
15:42Well, maybe your dad won't find out.
15:51Hello?
15:53Oh, hello, Dad.
15:56What's that?
15:56He told you that?
15:58Everything's fine.
16:00Honestly, I've still got the business.
16:02Yes, everything's...
16:03Yeah, the TV people are here.
16:05Oh, no, I'm not doing that.
16:07Yep, okay, I'll do that.
16:09He wants me to put it on speakerphone.
16:14Is that on speaker?
16:15Yeah, the on speakerphone, Dad.
16:17Good.
16:17Because I want the world to know how useless my son is.
16:20Right, he's typical of a generation that expects everything to happen to him
16:23without actually doing any of the work himself.
16:25He's a bloody slacker.
16:27Look, Dad, I'm a tailor, okay?
16:30I'm a proud whaling tailor.
16:32Whaling?
16:33Whaling's a shit business, son.
16:34And whale watching's even worse.
16:36Well, that's not what Grandad said.
16:37That is what Grandad said.
16:39He said it all the time.
16:40Well, he was kind of losing his mind towards the end there.
16:43I offered my boy a job to come work with me.
16:45Alright, selling cars.
16:47And he turned it down because he couldn't draw himself away from staring at the bloody ocean.
16:51You better get that family boat back by the time I get there this weekend.
16:54Shit for brains.
16:55Oh, well, Dad.
16:59You okay, Ron?
17:00Don't.
17:06I've got an idea.
17:22I won't leave the family down, Dad.
17:31With this covert look, no one will recognise me.
17:35Hey, Ron.
17:36How'd you recognise me?
17:38I know where you live, and I know where you're going.
17:40Don't try and stop me.
17:41I'm not.
17:42Bloody well coming with you.
17:53I have no idea what's happening, but this is probably the most excited I've ever been in my entire life.
18:08Before we do this, I brought her some good luck chips.
18:12Got him.
18:13Good luck, Ron.
18:14Oh, sweet days, man.
18:15Cheers.
18:16Cheers.
18:18Still warm.
18:19Good chips.
18:20Oh, one last thing.
18:27I don't think I need anyone.
18:29Why not?
18:30Oh.
18:32See yourself, man.
18:35I'm not overly happy about this.
18:37It's not exactly legal.
18:48I don't think we should even be here.
18:50I can't.
18:50Hey.
18:51Hey.
18:51Come on.
18:51Come on.
18:52Come on.
18:52There's your boat.
18:52I know.
18:53I've got to take out the security camera.
18:54No, no.
18:55Why don't we just take the boat?
18:56No, I mean I've got to destroy the security camera.
18:58Oh, all right.
18:59Go.
18:59Go to it, Harry.
19:01Oh.
19:01Go higher.
19:03Have you got enough stones?
19:04Yes.
19:05Oh.
19:07Oh, well, let's just use the cover of darkness.
19:09Hey, come on.
19:17Pick up.
19:18Pick up.
19:18Pick up.
19:19Pick up.
19:21Can't help.
19:22Oh, shit.
19:32Shit!
19:33Shit!
19:33Shh, shh, shh.
19:34Someone that's right.
19:35Shh, shh, shh.
19:37Oh, screw on the show.
19:37Oh, god.
19:38Oi.
19:41Colin, what the hell are you doing here?
19:45Ron, really?
19:55I know it's you, mate. I know it's you. I know it's you. I know where you work.
20:00It is you. Why are you doing the bloody order?
20:03Come here. Come here. Put the jandals down.
20:06I just want my boat back.
20:07Put the jandals down.
20:08Don't you dare.
20:11You're being an idiot.
20:13What?
20:14Oh, fish.
20:15Oh, mate.
20:26I'm in here.
20:27Yeah, I know.
20:29Look over there.
20:32I won't be long.
20:34All right. Come on.
20:37Don't you dare stink it up in there, Ron.
20:40Ron?
20:43Oh.
20:53Well, you're under arrest too, mate. All right. Come on. Stop. Stop. Stop the filming.
20:59So what does it take to carve your own path in a small community? Ingenuity? Guts? Determination? Or is it
21:06simply the knowledge that someone's got your back?
21:10So, how are you, Ron?
21:11Oh, not bad. Colin was nice enough to give me my job back.
21:14He never left.
21:16Edit that out. Yeah, this is just a minor setback for the whale watching business. We'll be up again running
21:21soon.
21:22I'm just doing a few shifts here to pay off the fine. I'm just doing a few shifts here to
21:25pay off the fine. Making sure my money doesn't go into the old Colin bank.
21:28Order up.
21:31There you go.
21:33So, how did you end up resolving your run-in with the law?
21:36Oh, that just sorted itself out.
21:37Hey, have you got any more tomato sauce, Ron?
21:39Yep. Sure thing, Mike. 50 cents extra there.
21:42No, Mike. No charge for officers of the law.
21:45Oh, thanks.
21:45Fair call.
21:46Oh, Valerie goes for gold.
21:48Oh, lovely.
21:50Hey!
21:52Hey!
21:53Hey!
21:55All right. Don't put that in. I don't want me...
21:57Yeah, no. He's just being silly.
21:58What I love about Ron is that nothing keeps him down for long.
22:02Despite all the scepticism towards his business claims, he just keeps on pursuing his dreams.
22:07And that makes this short poppy a true entrepreneur.
22:11And hey, that's nature.
22:21Oh, sweet ass, man. This programme was made from funding from New Zealand on air.
22:25Yeah.
