Noise Page #4

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?

and three young children...

...Of Omeo firefighting

volunteer Keith Milner.

An exclusive interview with

the grieving Aussie hero

And Paula Day is coming up

after the break.

Are you frustrated

because you never see

The results you know

you deserve?

Well, stay tuned as Paige Green and

gold-medal-gymnast Mitch Gaylord,

The first American to receive a

perfect 10 in Olympic competition,

Introduce you...

Graham McGahan.

Now you can have the body you've

always dreamed of in less time...

What?

When?

Why?

Yeah, all right.

All right,

all right, yeah.

Yeah, okay.

Workouts can be tough

and it's not for everyone.

but, Paige, it's that...

- f***.

This is not light duty.

No, it is, actually.

No, it isn't.

How is it light?

You're in a caravan.

Same amount of shifts. Same

amount of hours per shift.

In a caravan.

Actually it's an extra hour

per shift. How is that light?

Oh, for f***'s sake.

You're in a caravan.

I've got Christmas coming up. I've

got Trev and Andrew on holidays

And f***ing Rachel's

on maternity leave.

- No, this is just happening

because you and I...

Here we go.

No, f***ing admit it. You've

f***ing got it in for me.

That's right, I've got nothing

better to do with my time

than sh*t you.

Well, you all but

admitted it yesterday.

"What's your problem?

Can't you ride an escalator?"

I don't know if you've heard

but several people were killed

- on a train two days ago.

- Yeah.

Oh good,

you have heard.

It's a pretty

big thing, you know?

Lots about it

in the media and so forth,

So this might not be happening

because I've got issues with you.

It might be happening because I've got

other f***ing things to worry about.

What about my doctor's

certificate?

The doctor's certificate means

that, as opposed to Hobie,

You're the lucky camper

who gets to sit on his ass

in a caravan

for two weeks

and do f*** all.

Read a book.

Jesus, learn chess.

Impart your wisdom to

the local community.

You can do that with

f***ing tin ear, can't you?

Email hasn't

been set up yet

but there's phones

on both desks,

fax and what have you.

Coffee and sh*t

in the kitchenette.

You wanna

answer that?

No, I know

who that is.

So this is where

she was last seen.

Yep, bought a packet of

alpine lights and a diet coke.

But don't talk to Lionel

about that. He's a bit...

He's okay, he's fine. He's

just a bit funny about all this.

Look, it isn't rocket surgery. Basically

you've just got to sit here and put down

whatever the mouth-breathers

say or do.

- Mostly it's the same old,

same old.

"She was a lovely girl." "Kept

mostly to herself." "Always happy."

"Always had time

to say hello."
