Police are denying speculation

of a Jack the Ripper type

murder at large, and

claim the two grisly items

are probably unconnected

and isolated.

The United Beef Workers

Federation has blamed the

critical shortages

of meat in retail outlets..

- Well, well.

(radio murmuring)

(harmonica humming)

- [Radio] ..who is the principle

antagonist in the strike,

which has left

Perth without meat.

The spokesman for the

federation has asked that anyone

knowing the whereabouts

of Mr. Day who is believed

to be returning with his

family from the Nirvana Caravan

Park, Warrnambool...

- Sucker.

(harmonica humming)

(tires screeching)

(heavy tumbling)

- Hello there!

- Wait, miss, I'm sorry,

I'm not allowed to pick up

hitchhikers.

- Oh, I'm not a hitchhiker,

I'm not hitchhiking.

My idiot husband drove

off and left me here.

We can catch 'em if ya hurry.

Why, isn't this cozy.

So high UP-

Hope I don't get truck sick.

Oh, my name's Madeline Day.

- Pleased to meet you.

- But Floyd, that's my husband,

the idiot, he calls me Sunny

as in Sunny Day.

- Sounds like a wild and

crazy guy, your husband.

- Oh, that's nothing, we've

got a daughter, Doris Day.

Like the movie star.

We can go now if you don't mind.

- Well, I can take ya

as far as Yellowdine.

There's a roadhouse there,

and you can phone the police.

(coughing)

- Your dog doesn't

bite, does it?

- Oh, he's not a dog.

- It looks like a dog.

- He's a dingo.

- Dingo?

- Yeah.

Well, why would anybody wanna

keep a dingo for?

- Well, I like him.

He doesn't eat too

much, he's quiet.

- A dingo's a kind of dog,

so what's the difference?

- A dog is a parasite hybrid.

I mean, he chases cars,

he barks at shadows,

and he eats his own faeces.

But a dingo, dingo's

clean, he's intelligent,

he's quiet.

Fact, he's physically

incapable of barking.

That's why they call

him the silent dog.

He's an aristocrat.

Like me.

- Are all truck drivers

as stuck up as you?

- Madam, just because I drive

a truck does not make me

a truck driver.

- Oh, you and your tundra

wolf sitting up here in your

ivory tower.

I bet you're not even

married, are you?

NO.

(engine rumbling)

- Why aren't you

going to pick her up?

- Lady, that hitch is getting

to Perth faster than we are.

- That's no reason to

call her a b*tch, is it?

- Oh, hitch.

- [Madeline] Language.

- Hitch, as in hitchhiker.

- Well, a gentleman

would have picked her up

with this maniac running

'round loose butchering girls.

- What maniac?

- The one on the

radio, on the news.

- Yeah, go on.

- I don't know, it's

just some maniac.

- Yeah? Well, what else

did they say about him?

Did they say what
