was founded.

Ohh...

Dan was right, of course.

The robbing from the rich

and giving to the poor

wasn't easy like in Robin Hood's day.

I could use help with the stamps.

I used to deposit so much money

in so many people's bank accounts,

we could spend all afternoon

mailing out receipts.

Oh, look.

I been shot in the lung again.

Of course, that was nothing

compared with my dad.

He was still listed

in the guinness book of world records

as the world's most

frequently shot human being.

You're very lucky.

You've got your father's

bulletproof constitution.

A little lower, I think, Uncle Dan.

That's it.

OK. Ready?

Yep.

Band-aids.

Ah, thanks.

Whew!

I gotta do something

about getting shot all the time.

And there it was--

a bulletproof garbage can.

- Aah!

- Aah!

Come on, Ned. It's happy hour.

Pass the beer.

Hurry up, Ned.

Banks close at 5:00, you know.

Morning, Dog.

Ready?

Corn flakes.

No, fella.

Corn...

flakes.

Corn flakes.

Come on.

Talk.

Keep practicing.

Heh.

Mr. Kelly.

- Yes! - Yes!

- Yes!

We're all Kellys, mate.

You have a letter.

A letter?

A letter?

"The International Trust Bank

"will be acting as Sole

Agent for the sale of...

Reckless Island."

- What?

- What?

According to this document,

our island is going to

be relocated to...

Tokyo Bay, Japan.

What?

I loathe this weather.

I loathe this country.

Quite right, Sir John.

Ah, for a cold, Foggy,

drizzly english morning, eh?

I reckon this flag needs

a slight modification.

What the hell's going on in here?

That's the British flag!

Take it back to Britain.

You're a larrikin, Kelly.

You have absolutely

no respect for authority.

You're not selling our island.

There's obviously an informer

working somewhere in the bank.

Hmm?

Well, they won't be

working here for long.

We've brought in

every birth certificate

of every Kelly who was

born on Reckless Island.

Yeah.

They go back quite a long way.

It proves that the Kellys

have lived there

in one form or another

for at least 40,000 years.

The first person

to land on the island

was an aborigine named Awaba Kelly.

This here's his birth certificate.

So what.

That makes Reckless Island

Kelly Tribal Land.

So us Kellys legally have

first right of purchase.

Fine, but... you'll have to match

the japanese offer of $1 million.

No problem.

Oh, really?

You'll never raise the cash.

Aren't you forgetting something, mate?

The Kelly Gang robs banks.

Yes, but the Kelly Gang

gives all its money to the poor.

Ahem.

We were in deep trouble, all right,

so we headed to the Brewery

to do some thinking.

It was there that I found out

this wasn't the first time

Reckless Island had been under threat.
