Because he's a waterworks.
Okay. I'm going now.
Fearless is home tonight.
Who's that?
That's Shellback.
He fishes for Henry.
O, my good angel...
...whom God has appointed
my guardian...
...watch over me during this night...
...and protect me...
...from evil in my thoughts
as well as my deeds.
In the deepest hour of darkness...
...let your presence lead the way...
... to righteousness...
... and goodness.
Boys.
God cares nothing for motorcycles.
Henry.
- You're gonna get us in trouble.
- I know how to ride one of these.
My dad had one, only bigger.
Bullshit, your dad died
when you was 3.
Get down.
Somebody say
We was just looking.
That what you call it?
We're here on holiday.
My dad had a bike just like this.
That so?
I saw you on the Wall of Death.
I saw you go through the fire
and everything.
You must be about
- You boys like a thrill, do you?
- Yeah.
Who's first?
I've been on a bike before.
I'll go.
Faster. Faster.
Yes!
At least someone's
having a good time.
How you going?
Good night.
See you later.
''How you going? ''
You'll be up her
like a rat up a drainpipe.
Come on, give us a go.
Why do we have to be stuck here?
- That's easy.
- No, it's not.
I'm not stuck.
Go.
Go.
The least you can do
is three cheers for the corpse.
Hip, hip, hurray!
Boys.
Thanks, Luce.
- Yeah, thanks.
- Thank you, Lucy.
That is the same sort of thing
that happened to Archbishop O'Donnell.
I was there in the church
Sunday morning...
...come to the end of the sermon,
and he says:
''Therefore, many are cold
but few are frozen.''
And it was the middle of winter.
You know, it's good
with Lucy around this summer.
- Give Tess some girl company.
- By the way, how's her father doing?
Still looking for work in Darwin.
Five minutes to dinner.
- Thanks, darling.
- Cheers, Teresa.
Hey, he just swiped your beer.
Let them have their fun.
Wait for me. Wait.
I don't expect it's a picnic
where they're from.
For all you hear,
it's not too bad out there.
They're well cared for.
Yeah, I'll bet they are.
I think I'll go and see
if I can give the girls a hand.
Still, it's not the same
as a family.
Indeed, it isn't.
for taking her away from her family.
Her country.
We're supposed to be
starting our own out here.
You know, maybe it's the accident
Well, there's no substitute for family,
that's for sure.
You're not saying
you're giving up hope?
No.
I'm not saying that.
It's just...
...you get to a point, you know?
You start to see things
like they are.
