Danny Deckchair Page #3

Synopsis: Based on a true story, the tale of a cement truck driver named Danny, whose long awaited vacation is cancelled thanks to his scheming girlfriend, Trudy. Danny escapes his grim life in suburban Australia and blasts into the skies in a chair tied with helium balloons. A mighty thunderstorm blows him clean off the map, and spits him out far away over the lush green town of Clarence. In this new town, he rockets into the world of Glenda, the town's only parking cop. While the media back home becomes obsessed with the story of his disappearance, Danny gets to reinvent himself in this new town, and in his great adventure, he discovers a true soulmate in Glenda. Fate catches up with him eventually, as Danny's true identity is revealed and Trudy--now a tabloid celebrity--comes to the idyllic town to claim Danny and drag him back to Sydney. Danny, however, is a changed man; he's discovered what it means to be happy and has found a new self-worth. Saying farewell to Trudy, Danny makes a dynamic

You went for a walk on the beach

with Sandy Upman?

Yeah.

Come on, Stuey.

Shh.

Well done, Stuey.

- That's it.

- You and your bloody ideas, mate.

You don't seriously think

you'll get off the ground, do you?

What's the big deal?

I just want to see if it works.

- Like this, see?

- Oh yeah.

Hey, it's all right by me, just

as long as we can watch the footy.

- Okay.

- Eh-eh!

- All right, Stuey, not bad.

- Wo-ooh!

Anyway,

Sandy's got bigger fish to fry.

He wants to move up from Sport

to the National News spot.

All right.

- Do these kebabs look big enough?

- Hey you, slow down...

- Hey, Danny, what are you doing?

- Trying to get back to Kansas.

Toto.

Danny, uh...

the missus.

Planning a little trip?

Look, Trudy, it's stupid.

I know that.

- He just wants to see if it'll work.

That's right.

And how do you plan

on getting back down?

- Ah, Let him fly.

- Let him go, Trudy.

Come on, Trudy, let him go.

Let him fly. Let him go.

He can go to the moon

for all I care.

Come on, you fellows.

- Nice?

- Yeah.

We're gonna feed you so full. You're never

gonna take off the ground.

Well, despite a four goal lead

so early on...

...right back into this game and

the Demons now are on four goals 3.27...

- And it's five goals 4.34...

- Oh my God.

Wow!

- Get on there. Come here.

- Go on.

Let's go. Think we have

enough of these, mate?

I swear he's born

and bred like this.

Here we go.

That might not make the distance.

Goal!

The scissors.

Use the sci...

Ooh, Danny!

- He was supposed to have them with him.

- Danny!

Danny!

There he is.

There is the... There he is!

I can't see him.

It works.

Well don't just stand there.

Trudy, get out of the car.

Come on, get out of the car.

- Quick, quick, come on.

- Hey, Trudy, Trudy!

- Come on.

- Trudy, calm down. Trudy!

- Trudy, come here. It's all right.

- What are we supposed to do?

- He's on a what?

- Yeah, yeah, I know.

- Give me air traffic control.

- There's something up there.

- Yeah, we got it.

- What is it?

You're not gonna believe this.

Close runway two.

We have an

unidentified craft in sector K.

Divert all flight paths

in that sector.

Bugger.

Hope he packed a raincoat.

That was close.

- He's gone.

- We lost him.

- I don't know exactly what happened.

- He just... You know, went up.

- Okay, I'll just...

- You guys should just do something.

We put out a statewide APB.

But there's not much more

we can do. I hope he comes back.

- No, I'll stay and help her clean up.

- You sure?

- Pull the TV in from the back.

- Did the Swans win?

Yeah.

Hi, what exactly happened here?

Did you have any indications

that he wouldn't let go?

Yeah-ah!
