The Proposition Page #3
in those melancholy hills.
Some say he sleeps in caves
like a beast.
Slumbers deep like the kraken.
The blacks say that he's a spirit.
The troopers will never catch him.
Common force
is meaningless, Mr Murphy,
as he squats up there
on his impregnable perch.
So I wait, Mr Murphy.
I wait...
Aye, you wait.
You wait here, bounty hunter.
- Hang him, sir.
- Hang him high, sir.
Hail the conquering hero.
What a vile specimen of humanity.
Not really the one that we're looking for,
though, is it, Captain?
In the end, justice will be done.
Justice.
Save your little wisdoms
for the mob, Stanley.
Has he told you where his brothers are?
With due respects, Mr Fletcher,
perhaps it would be wise
to be done by policemen.
Still, better than nothing, I suppose.
Good evening, Captain.
Good evening.
"When?"
Said the moon to the stars in the sky.
"Soon," said the wind
that followed him home.
"Who?" said the cloud that started to cry.
"Him," said the rider, dry as a bone.
I got green thumbs, I 'ave.
I was just
thinking about England.
Do you not miss it, Martha?
There's much to miss.
There and here.
Let's get rid of that headache.
Now... Captain Stanley,
eat your breakfast before the flies do.
Made by
me own fair 'ands, them eggs.
Me eggs
have never tasted so fine, ma'am.
You're a good man, Morris.
And you're a good woman, Martha.
Do we have company?
Yes, I'm afraid we do.
Captain!
Excuse me, ma'am. Excuse me, sir.
It's fine, Morris.
No, Martha, please.
This is police business.
How dare you come
to my house in that state?
Sir.
What exactly do you want?
We just got back from
the Arooka Ranges, sir.
We rounded up six rebel blacks, sir.
Sean killed one.
Thought you'd want to know
about it straightaway.
Captain?
Captain?
No, leave the door open.
It's rank in here.
Yes, sir.
Are you sure you've put enough iron
on these men, Sergeant?
They have been
adequately secured, sir.
Jacko, get over here.
Yes, Captain, sir.
Ask them how long they've been
hiding up in the ranges.
He says they very tired.
Well, you'll have a nice long rest
if you don't open your f***in' mouths
and start yapping, you black bastards.
Sergeant.
Wait outside.
Wait outside the door.
I'll call you if and when I need you.
Ask them again
how long they've been
hiding up in the ranges.
Captain, sir, he said
they don't hide in the ranges,
they live in the ranges.
Then ask him how long
they have lived in the ranges.
Them always been living
in the ranges, Captain, sir.
Ask him if they've seen
