Noise Page #3

Synopsis: In long flashbacks, David Owen looks back to when he lived in Manhattan with his wife and baby. The unnecessary noises of the city interrupt his life to the point that he takes a baseball bat to the windshield of cars whose alarms are blaring. After a few arrests, his wife kicks him out. On his own, he learns to avoid arrest and leaves a calling card as "The Rectifier" when he breaks into an offending car. Gruska, an enterprising young reporter, tracks him down. He tells her his story, they become lovers, and she organizes a petition drive for a ballot initiative to ban car alarms. The mayor becomes the Rectifier's bête noire. Can David fight City Hall and win?

for the murders

Of seven commuters eight

hours ago on a commuter train

In Melbourne's

inner East.

This description follows

an eyewitness report

From an as-yet

unidentified survivor

Of the tragedy.

The suspect is

described as a man...

You're home early.

Mm-hmm.

You all right?

How come?

What?

Why is there always so

much sh*t lying around?

You buy so much of it and leave

it lying around, sweetheart.

- You're munted.

- No, I'm not.

- yes, you f***ing are.

- I just had a bit.

Just had an itsy bitsy.

Marcus sold me

a couple of grams.

Marcus?

- the trumpet.

- Oh, that prick.

Surprised he made you

pay for it.

- Well, he didn't actually.

- Ah.

- He wants to get into your pants.

- Probably.

I'll roll you another,

you big grump.

Forward defense.

Forward defense.

Let it go.

Square cut,

forward defense.

Forward defense.

Let it go.

Leg glance.

So have we

made up?

Maybe.

It's good

dope then.

Marcus will

be thrilled.

Seeing your boozies is

what'd thrill Marcus.

- Did you just call them boozies?

- Mm-hmm.

That's very sweet

of you. Thank you.

What are

you doing?

Just taking a good long

hard look at myself.

"Take a good look in

the big mirror, McGahan.

See if you can see a

policeman in there somewhere."

F***ing Mobley.

This doctor's certificate

will stitch him up.

- Ticket to Noosa, baby.

- Yeah.

Work cover!

- Think it, talk it, work it!

- Yeah.

In the outer Melbourne

suburb of sunshine south,

The discover of the body

of a woman

was reported to police.

The woman has already

been identified by police

As Fiona Michelle Frost,

a 32-year-old legal secretary

who was reported missing

last Wednesday

When she didn't return

home from work.

Police are yet to comment

on this discovery

and the tragic events

last Friday

when a lone gunman killed

seven on a suburban train.

Friends and family

spoke out today,

as did members

of the local community.

- Is that another one?

- Mmm. Shh.

What the f***'s going on

at the moment?

I know this guy.

He speaks exactly

like that in real life.

...May have in their knowledge

pertaining to recent incidents...

I'm off. I'll see you tonight.

"Information pertaining

to the recent knowledge...

- I've gotta go, seriously.

...Of events in the vicinity."

Male Constable indicates he would like

to wish female occupant of the residence

good luck pertaining particularly

to her endeavors of the day.

I love you

but shut up.

Female occupant responds by departing

the vicinity without further ado.

...More in our late bulletin.

Fires continue to rage at Omeo

and elsewhere in Gippsland.

Eight have already

perished in blazes,

- including the wife
