G'day, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to Australia.
As you know...
Australia is an island
which has been isolated...
from many dangerous
animal and plant diseases.
The cabin area is now being
sprayed by quarantine officers.
This is an essential precaution
against the insects...
which might
otherwise introduce...
human or agricultural diseases
into Australia.
Please ensure
that you remain seated...
until the spraying is completed.
lf you experience discomfort
from aerosol sprays...
we suggest you place
a handkerchief...
over your nose and mouth.
Thank you for your attention.
A gentleman to see you.
Frank Hunter?
Becker. Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Who from where?
Becker. Atlanta, Georgia.
Straight from the airport.
and stuff at a hotel...
and came right here.
This is beautiful.
l'm pleased to meet you, Becker.
What can l do for you?
l was to report
to you today, wasn't l?
-Telex just arrived.
-Thank you.
Excuse me.
Sit down, please.
Yes. lt's all here.
You beat your assignment papers.
l like a man who arrives
before his print-out.
l just never understand...
why these telexes
always arrive damp.
Well, Becker, they call you--
for my eyes only--
''A brilliant troubleshooter.''
That's about right.
My only problem is
l'm not aware...
that we're
in any kind of trouble.
Well, that's why l'm here.
l'm sorry.
l guess everybody has trouble.
We have a month.
What for?
To get a job done.
To find firstly,
where the trouble is...
secondly, why it is...
thirdly, devise a strategy...
and four, act.
lt sounds simple.
lt is.
You'll see.
Can l offer you something--
coffee, tea?
Yes. Please.
Which would you like?
Coffee or tea?
Yeah, that's fine with me--
coffee or tea.
Thanks.
How are you, little guy?
OK, little guy.
Your breakfast, sir.
Welcome to Australia.
Everybody's happy
to see you here, sir.
l won't say who or why,
according to instructions.
Take care of your jet lag, sir,
and have a very, very nice day.
What the hell was that?
l took about six hours
straight through.
Buy your Australian here!
Get your Australian here!
What d'you wanna buy?
What are you reading?
Get your Australian here!
Get your Tatts Lotto
weekly numbers!
Excuse me, sir, do you sell
American newspapers?
American newspapers?
This is Australia, mate.
We sell Australian papers.
Well, that would be
appropriate, yes.
Right on.
Take it or leave it.
l'll leave it. Thanks.
G'day, Mr. Becker.
-Hello.
-Have a nice day.
Mr. Hunter told me l'll be
working as your secretary...
while you're here.
Well, that's just fine.
lt's almost 9:
00.l'll see you at the office.
Oh, right. See you.
Frank, can we talk now?
Come in, Fred.
Shut the door.
Frank, what's going on?
Our advice from headquarters
is ''Listen to him.
''Don't get angry.
''Don't get scared, either.
''And do not be surprised.''
How am l supposed
not to get surprised...
when he walks into my office
and asks can he borrow a bible?
They call him ''Whiz Kid.''
They advise don't try
to understand him.
They don't.
They just know he doubles
He asked me
if l'd ever heard anything...
l'd call an Australian sound.
Did you?
''And you should know,
Coca-Cola is sold...
''in 155 nations
across the world...
''and it is the same drink
everywhere.
''We have more markets
than the United Nations.''
''Every day,
''pause for that moment
of refreshment...
''that unparalleled moment--''
Underline ''unparalleled.''
Well, if you don't want
to understand what my point is.
OK, what's your point?
lf men and women
are gonna work together...
something might happen.
l don't want to hear that.
''Let there be
no misunderstanding.
''Our policies and strategies...
''will be dictated
by the needs and desires...
''of the consuming public.''
''Needs and desires...''
Needs and desires of what?
Maybe you're just not
interested in women.
Do you hear that sound?
lt's a very specific sound.
Get your truth here.
Words on every page.
Girls and news.
Cartoons and girls.
Cartoons, girls, and news.
All the news!
Excuse me, sir.
l would love
to have your picture--
And your sound.
You're going to use me
in the movies?
Yes! Movie.
My phone number.
lf l'm not here, the fellas
know where to find me.
Ring me agent.
Mr. Joe.
Thank you very much.
You may be asking yourselves...
''What is an ex-Marine doing
on this side of the globe?''
Well, as you may
or may not know...
Marines fall on every continent
on the face of the earth...
except Australia, so here l am.
First, we have
to ask ourselves...
do we need to explain
our product to the public?
Last year in Rome...
l had a chance to talk
with one of the top guys...
in the Jesuit hierarchy,
and he told me...
he said they consider us--
excuse me, miss,
your feet belong on the floor--
they consider us,
in bringing God's business...
of good will and good news
to the people...
no less than second
to themselves...
in this whole wide
God-fearing world. Yes.
They see us as the smart guys...
who distribute and sell
the miracle of America.
And that's exactly what we are.
When you have a product
with charisma...
you don't have to explain
a goddamn thing, no.
Here you go, honey.
You need only
bring it to the people.
Good catch.
Try to analyze it,
