Captain Johnno Page #5

---

Ah, hello, Tony.

Hey, Johnno.

Hey, where you been?

- At school.

- School?

No worms here. On the beach.

I no dig for worms, I dig for the boat.

- I try to put the Kingfisher...

- No, no...

On the beach. Great worms.

I'll see you.

Johnno, no...

For the first time in its history,

the Children's Station...

...is about to be taken off the air.

And don't say I didn't warn you!

- Well, what does it say, Sis?

- Tom has been speaking...

Don't come in here, off to the

shelter shed. I'll deal with you later.

- Off to the shelter shed!

- Captain Claw. It's him!

Do as you are told!

Captain Claw!

No!

Captain Claw! You killed Captain Claw!

Murderer!

You should have belted him.

Don't you think he's finding things

difficult enough as it is?

You're too soft on him, Kate.

He just wrecked a whole classroom.

You can't let him get away

with that scot free!

He's in strife in school.

He's lost his sister...

...and 90% of his hearing.

That's not my idea of scot free.

Kate, life is hard enough as it is.

We do have a business to run here.

I know. It's just that our little boy

has a whole life ahead of him.

I want to give him the best chance!

Yes. Well, maybe he needs to go

to the city for that.

No.

Kate... I rang that school.

They're sending a bloke out

to have a look at him.

Oh, Frank, how could you?

It'll break his heart.

I'm trying to do the best thing

for everyone.

He's coming tomorrow.

Damned chook thief!

Oh, not again!?

Hello, Capitano.

Hi, Tony!

Shake hands.

Don't touch that!

Hello. I want... for boat.

You want a hammer?

What sort do you want?

Claw, comb, cobblers'...

- No, no, no, no, no, no...

- Sledge?

I have this.

I want these... the points...

For boat. Like this, but different.

This no good.

Oh, you want screws?

Yes... like these, but different.

- Brass nails!

- Yes, brass!

One hundred.

A hundred?

- Well, do I have to count them?

- Yes. Big ones.

Big ones.

100 brass nails?

I make boat.

Why don't you use my dinghy?

I've got sails, rope and rigging.

No, no, your boat is good, but...

...it is too small...

for all the big fish we catch.

I show you.

I got the license now.

You showed to me the whiting,

and the snook...

...and now I'm going

to have no trouble...

Hey. Why aren't you at school, Mister?

- I...

- I've been looking all over for you.

Johnno, he help me.

Not any more. Is that clear?

Come on. Come on!

Sorry, we've only got

98 brass nails left.

Anything else?

Come on, Johnno.

- Hello. Johnno.

- This is Mr. O'Connor.

Pleased to meet you. Sit down.

I've got a game you might like to play.

It's important, Johnno...

you must try!

Good boy, Johnno.
