Don's Party Page #4

Synopsis: The movie Dons Party is about a wild house party in a suburban Australian neighbourhood. Don Henderson convinces his wife to have another party so that their friends can gather to watch the election, drink and carry on. Dons wife, Kath sees the party as just more work, while Don sees it as a chance to break his boring routine. The year is 1969 and some of Dons friends have jumped on the bandwagon of sexual freedom and experimentation. However, others at the party are more conservative about their politics and sex, and naturally, arguments break out over politics and fist fights erupt over the seduction of others wives.

Well, that must be very int...

Mal's a management consultant...

He's doing very well at the moment.

No...

...but suck ONE cock!

Have you got a headache?

- Migraine.

- You want an aspirin?

No... doesn't help.

- But thanks for not ringing!

- Would you excuse me for a moment.

You think YOU've got troubles...

That's a bit unfortunate, isn't it?

Does Jenny often

get headaches like that?

Only at OUR parties!

Simon, old crump...

Do you mind if we tell your wife

a dirty story?

No... why not?...

She's used to it.

- He says you're used to it!

- What a bloody liar!

Now Jody...

Have you ever hunted ducks?

- No.

- Now I don't want to hear anything filthy!

Well, you wade through the shallows

with your rifle at the ready...

Duck-hunters use shotguns,

sh*t head!

I like to give the ducks a chance!

Here I am, the duck-hunter...

...wading through the shallows...

Wading... wading... wading... wading...!

Itching for a duck!

Wading... wading...

All of a sudden!...

Ooh!... Nature calls!

Are you sure

you want to hear this?

Oh, it leaves a nasty taste

in the mouth!

- Jody!

- What?

Would you mind giving the baby-sitter

a bit of a ring...

...just to make sure the children

went down alright.

Simon, ring her yourself!

Hey, that might be the old Cooley!

Hey everybody,

this is Evan and Kerry...

Mack, Mal, Jody, Simon...

Kerry!

How's the election going, Don?

It's a bit early to tell, yet, mate...

but it looks like a bit of a swing.

- Would you like a drink, Kerry?

- Thanks... scotch on the rocks.

Scotch on the rocks!

This is the first time you've been here

since we moved in... years!

- It's nowhere near as interesting...

- Scotch on the rocks... Kerry.

But we are starting to get it

into shape at last.

Oh, it's very tasteful.

Oh, this is all you, Kath.

- Can't see much of Don in it!

- He does the trees!

Women!

Yeah... houses and babies.

I knew a couple once who spent every second

of their spare time, renovating

Crazy!

Well I like renovating.

Oh, well... it's fair enough

if you like it, I suppose.

No, I like it.

You've done wonders

with that terrace, Evan... it's amazing.

Absolute wreck, when he started.

Did you finish that studio

for Kerry?

Yes... last week.

What do you do

when you're not renovating, Evan?

I'm a dentist.

Renovations of the mouth, eh?!

And what do YOU do?

- Plastic pressings.

- Mal...

Psychologist.

Private practice?

No... not really.

Management consultant!

Does Kerry renovate?

She paints.

Dabbles a bit in the oils?!

- Dabbles? She's had 3 major exhibitions!

- 4!

4... that's right...

There was one last month...

Couldn't get to that one.

Sorry about that.
