Bye.

Old friends unite. Nat's back in town.

- Nat, Nat who?

- Nat Kelly.

The grapevine says we met for dinner

a week ago and haven't been seen since.

He wants to buy you a beer.

Talk over old times.

I remember him. He was a nice young fellow.

Nice, shy, quiet sort of joker.

Pal, make way. Make way, please.

Brad, you old bastard!

How about it, Brad?

Can you loan us, say, $50?

Jeez, you've done all right for yourself.

Got to make this last. $25 any use?

Fair enough. Hey, Susie!

She's a real good pal, is Susie.

She likes it, really.

Now, first of all, we find the birds,

take them to the turf club later,

and tomorrow we'll take them down

to Surfers Paradise. Leave it all to me, sport.

Susie, this is Brad Morahan,

an old mate of mine.

He's an artist. Take your clothes off,

and he'll immortalize you.

Need one, please, I'm in a hurry.

Excuse me.

Evens on the field, evens.

Come on!

Come on.

That's a sham. Take a swab!

- What were you on, Brad?

- I had the winner.

Even money. Yeah, the game stinks!

Hey, Brad, meet the Birds!

This is the Edna Bird,

and this is the Grace Bird.

- No, I'm Grace.

- I'm Edna.

Hi, Brad. Pleased to meet you.

The famous Brad, one of my oldest friends.

Are you really going to paint us, Brad?

Now, that depends, girls,

if you do the right thing.

You're a devil, Nat! Isn't he a devil, Brad?

Yes, he's a devil, all right.

Now, why don't you two girls go park

yourselves up in the stands, eh?

We'll find the grog, right?

- Okay. Bye!

- Yeah.

I was only kidding you, Brad.

You know what women

are like about painters.

They just love the excuse to strip off.

Well, you'll have to find another way

to get their clothes off.

- No! I've got plans!

- I've got a train to catch.

- Where to?

- Checkabarame.

You can send me that 25

care of the post office.

Now, sugar, believe me. You'll need a bird in

Checkabarame. You'll go off your rocker.

It's a morgue. It's a dump.

It's a desert island.

All you ever think about is birds.

You're out of your mind!

Now, with me, it's entirely different.

I'm like a camel when it comes to sex.

Especially right now,

after a week in Brisbane.

You'll come to your senses

one of these days.

Oh, no, I won't! Checka-bloody-barame.

Without a bird?

You're in tune with Foreign Kay McKie,

the voice of the Great Barrier Reef.

Eastern time is 25 minutes after 3.; oo.

The shack's on the other side

of the sand bar.

Take it easy with those eggs.

It's only a couple of hundred yards.

You think you'll need a hand?

No, I can manage, thanks.

Cast her off, will you?

I'll be over most days with the mail.

I'm out fishing every morning.

I hope it doesn't get you down.
