Bride Flight Page #2

- Yes.

Good.

Welcome to our small parish.

We've got our own parish.

We didn't like the Presbyterian one.

They're uninspired and sing in English.

Did you have a good flight?

- Yes.

Aren't we going to...

Aren't we going to wait...

I got us a truck.

An absolute bargain it was.

Down here they take an old car,

saw the back off

and build a loading platform.

People here improvise.

Ada?

The Minister can't drive.

And I could hardly let him sit here, so...

Everything okay?

Yes.

It can get cold in the Arthur's Pass.

How long's the drive?

- Five hours or so, maybe six.

Well, this is pleasant.

It's a Sunday morning.

Dad's got to send money

so I can go back.

I've made arrangements.

Did you bring anything else?

Something less...

I'm not sure they...

- Who?

Mr and Mrs Jottkowitz.

From the boarding house.

Jottkowitz?

- The Rabbi's family.

I'll see.

It would be good if you could change,

because I don't know...

We can walk if you want.

It isn't far.

I'm going to go to the hotel.

I'm too tired. I need some sleep.

I can't be on my best

Jewish behaviour now. I'm exhausted.

When shall we meet?

- Tomorrow. Plenty of time.

What time? Where?

We go round the back.

Only snobs use the front door here.

Margo?

And?

- Did you see what that man's wearing?

They're relaxed about everything here.

Laid back is the term they use.

They're just very nice.

They don't laugh if you make a mistake.

What's happened to your hands?

So rough. And coarse.

I'll pick you up in the morning.

Ada?

Ada?

I'm coming.

If it does not please you

to serve the Lord,

decide today whom you will serve...

Look.

And...

A bunker.

- They feared a Japanese invasion.

The city owns the land,

but the bunker is ours.

This is the kitchen. It is nearly ready.

The fireplace will go here.

But I don't know...

I have to work as well.

This is a good mattress,

got it at a bargain price.

Derk, that... Well done.

Derk?

Can you undo my buttons?

If you want me to leave...

Would you like to lie in bed?

You must suppress these forces.

You are carrying a child.

I don't know, Derk. I don't know.

I'm sorry.

Do you ever sleep?

- Not very well.

It's fairly easy, you know.

So teach me, then.

That's the first step.

Now close your eyes.

- Show me.

Anyone can do it.

Except you and me.

Were you still in Indonesia

when the Japs came?

Did everyone get out okay?

No.

It'll be a nice day tomorrow.

Yes.

Hans.

Hello.

I wake up and hear birds.

I see a clear blue sky and the sun is out.

The people are so friendly. So nice.

I've never slept so well in my life.

Isn't it beautiful?

Did you see that?

They have prams on the tram here.
