The Delinquents Page #4

I'm making a wish.

Today's my birthday.

Yeah?

Monday. Rent's due.

I'll pay on Friday.

Sorry. You know the rules.

Rent's due on Monday.

I've been sick

and not working.

Sorry. You're out.

Somebody's waiting for this room.

I've got nowhere else to go!

Go back to Bundaberg, then.

Feel like dancing?

Been dancing all day.

How about later on?

Where are we going?

Sorry, kid.

I'm meeting a lady friend tonight.

What will I do?

If you're related to the Queen,

Melbourne's your town.

Otherwise, head straight

for the pubs. See you!

What'll it be, mate?

Beer... thanks.

Lola?

Oh, Brownie!

You're so thin.

You're so strong.

I only started here a while ago.

I've had the flu.

I've still got the flu.

Got kicked out by my landlady.

She's a right old b*tch!

They're letting me sleep

in the storeroom out the back.

You've changed.

Maxine!

This is Brownie!

THE Brownie?

Pleased to meet you.

Now she might stop yapping about you.

Want to eat with us?

No.

If I can't get a few beers

out of that bunch I'll join a nunnery.

Hi, guys.

I had an abortion.

Mum dragged me off to Brisbane.

I tried to find you.

I looked everywhere.

It was so hard, Brownie.

You've got a fever.

So, she's a friend of yours?

Yeah. She helped me get this job.

And before that?

What did you do to eat?

We'd try talking them

into buying dinner for us.

Well, you do what you can, don't you?

Is that what you want to know?

Why?

You've got no business

asking if you're not here.

I'm sorry.

Sailors are much worse

than soldiers, anyway.

Let's get out of here.

Brownie.

Make love to me.

Here.

Put that on your head.

Why is it so dark?

One of the generators is down.

This is your room?

Cabin.

This is like a dream!

It's so romantic.

Where is everyone?

They're... on leave.

They'll be back tomorrow.

Oh, Brownie.

Oh, God.

I know I look terrible.

I've been so sick.

Maybe I haven't always done the

right thing, but I loved you all the time.

Me too. I'm so sorry.

Say you still want me.

More than I ever wanted you.

I hope no union rep finds you.

They got strict rules.

You got a name?

Lola.

I'm glad you two finally

caught up with each other,

but the union boys won't be.

You'll have to go.

Oh, come on, Bosun.

She's sick.

She just got kicked out of her room.

YOU'RE the Bosun.

Records from all around the world?

You looked after Brownie for me.

She'll hitchhike back to Brisbane.

Not my problem.

I'm not sailing without her.

Is that a threat?

I'm not impressed.

I can look after her in Brisbane.

And when you go back to sea?

God, you've got a lot to learn, kid,

especially about women.

Please, Bosun.

I love her.

Just keep her out of sight.
