No. She just darted off. I thought it was a bit odd.

Is everything all right?

F***'s sake.

PHONE RINGS:

Yeah?

For f***'s sake, why didn't you tell me?

Sorry, Mum.

I mean, come off it, Mark. You know the score out there.

All femmes are fair game. You know? Remember Janice the Jig?

That bird on our crew? Everybody had a go with her, man.

In fact, you even f***ed her in the dunny. You dirty bastard.

I told you to shut your f***ing mouth, you c*nt!

You wouldn't f***ing listen to me. You wouldn't listen!

All right, Mark, I've had enough.

- Mark!

- You still going on? You still f***ing going on?

I'm not, I'm not. I'm finished, Mark, I'm finished.

I'm going to call the police.

Call the f***ing police. Go on.

- You're barred for life.

- You want to bar me?

- Yes.

- F***ing slag.

I'll get your dad on you, mind.

Go f*** yourself.

Get out!

CHATTER IN STREE CLATTERING

TV IS ON IN NEXT ROOM

Who's this guy who keeps coming up in all your pictures?

Eh?

There's loads.

This guy. Who is he?

Just one of the lads.

- Why is there so many of him?

- No reason.

Well, I'll delete them, then.

- Mark, will you just leave it, eh?

- Leave what?

- Give it me back.

- Who is he?

- Just give it me back, Mark.

- Why you being like that?

- Give it me back. Mark! F***ing give it!

- Who the f*** is he?

- No-one. F***ing give it me back!

Take it! Who the f*** is he?

Now, this film explores a huge array of emotional responses

and expressions of the love felt for those people that have been

lost in the war.

Now, we can only experience their pain at a distance

and that's why we're very proud and privileged to have with us

today Private Paul Reynolds and Private Suzy Jackson to share

with us their first-hand experiences.

And plus, she's my sister too.

Hi.

What do you want us to talk about?

Well, why don't you tell us what it's like to enter a war zone,

or what it's like to fire a gun at someone, yeah?

Aye, like, did you have to shoot anyone?

LAUGHTER:

Do you want me to go first?

No, no, it's fine.

SHE CLEARS HER THROA Well, you just get on with the task in hand.

Focus on your enemy and take them out.

That's all there is to it. It's like fixing a flat tyre.

It's a job that needs to be done.

OK, so what's it like to enter a war zone, then?

Well...

..the first thing that strikes you is the rubble and the dust.

There's mortars and rockets raining down nightly.

And if you can imagine what it feels like

when you go and stand on stage or go and meet someone you want to impress

and you get that churning feeling in your stomach, like butterflies,

in your stomach...

Well, it's like that, but 24 hours a day.

Even talking about it now, I can feel it.
