- "and deep pits with spiked bottoms."

- Bastards.

That's it.

I'm gonna join up.

Me, too.

What about you, Barney?

- Don't know.

- Oh, be in it.

- Hey, the girls go wild over a uniform.

- Yeah?

Of course, in your case,

I don't think anything would help...

but you might as well give it a go.

- Hey, we could all join up together.

- Count me in.

Come on, Frank, you gotta be in it.

No, thanks. If you blokes all wanna go

and get yourselves shot...

go ahead.

Well, I'm not scared to die

for my country, Frank.

Well, good for you, Snowy,

you go and sign yourself on.

Well, you must admit, mate,

nothing could be worse than this here.

- Can't argue with that.

- You gonna join, then?

No.

But I'm not gonna stay here either.

Dunne, Lewis, Wilkes!

Where the hell are you?

There she is!

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

- Hurry, boss.

- Come back, you young bastards.

I'll have you done for sure.

Do you hear me?

You'll never work for the railways again!

It's on top of the cupboard.

Come on, lad.

Coming, Uncle.

Come on.

- Give us those shoes, little man.

- Bye, Arch.

- Good luck.

- Thanks.

- Goodbye, Mum.

- Hey, it's only two days.

Come on, we've got a race to run.

- What are you gonna get us, Jack?

- Children.

Giddap. Hey, giddap.

- Good luck, son.

- Bye, Archy. Come back with a medal.

Goodbye, Archy.

- Bye, kids.

- Bye, Archy.

You better win!

Here we go!

- Get out of my car.

- Just having a look, boss.

- Go on, get out.

- Yeah. Righto. Righto.

Can I direct your attention

to these bottled preserves...

of the Ladies' Auxiliary?

All proceeds to the Belgian Relief Fund.

Very exciting one-mile race.

What about the handicap?

No, I can't talk about handicapping now.

Get it done the best way you can.

- This where you enter for the Gift?

- Entries closed a week ago.

- I've been outback.

- What's your name?

Dunne.

- You registered?

- Yeah, in Perth.

- When did you run your last race?

- Fremantle, about six months ago.

I know you, the stand-up start.

We got a scratching?

We got a scratching?

- Give him a go.

- What's the prize money?

Ten guineas and the medal.

Anyone take bets?

No, it's against the law.

How much was you wanting to lay?

- Twenty quid.

- You're pretty confident.

Where's your 20?

- Young Archy Hamilton's running.

- Who's he?

Probably the fastest kid

in West Australia, if not the country.

- What does he run?

- Under 10.

Wouldn't want to take your money

without fair warning.

What's my mark?

Same as the local kid.

All right. You're on.

You can still pull out, lad.

Lasalles pulled out of the Barlow Cup

and nobody thought the worse of him.

Come on.

Push.
