J' And I'm right back

where I've really always been.

J" I got over you just long enough.

J" To let my heartache mend.

J' And today,

I started loving you again.

J" Yes, and today, I.

J" I started loving you.

IAgain. J".

I thought I told you to

stay home.

Who are you to tell me what to do,

you hard-headed drongo'?

I'm the one who's going to drag your

big lip over your fat head in a minute!

Stop it!

- Um...

- Excuse me, mate!

- We're in the middle of something.

- I just wanted... That wasn't terrible.

Do you sing anything other than that

kind of country and western shite?

Sorry, what's wrong with

country and western, mate?

OK.

Alright, folks.

We got a winner for youse.

Taking home the 1O bucks -

you won it, bud...

it's Noelene, with 'Morningtown

Ride'.

- But I was great!

- We were the best.

That's bullshit, Merle.

That's a sack of dick.

You're giving it to Noelene?

She's allergic to music.

That's a fix.

Fix, fix, fix, fix, fix...

Shaw's over, girls. Pack your swags

and get back to the humpy.

You were marvellous.

Hey, hey, Tammy Wynette.

Did you forget something?

Thanks.

And we can get ourselves thrown out

of a pub. Don't need your help.

Thought I told you Abos

to get off my premises.

You were happy enough to have us

sing in your crappy contest.

- Who said I was happy?

- What's the story anyhow?

- She your relative or something?

- She's ugly enough.

And you can piss off out of it too.

You were a shithouse MC anyhow!

Better than you deserve.

And a lot better than you pay.

I can find somebody else.

Alright, let's not do anything hasty.

Come on. Remember?

I'm the man who made you feel

like a girl of 50 again.

Are you gonna make me fetch my rifle?

Hey, where are you going?

I've got something to show you.

Oi! Read this, will you?

Will you just leave me alone?

I think you've caused me enough trouble today.

- I don't know how to read.

- Julie, what are you doing?

"Singers and dancers wanted"

"to perform for the American troops

in Vietnam."

And it says

there's good conditions too.

I thought you didn't know how to

read. - Where'd you get this?

Of course I know

how to read, goatface.

- Then why are you showing me that?

- You need a job, don't you?

We're offering you one.

Playing for us in Vietnam.

Yeah, OK. Where's Vietnam?

Hey, Julie, the only place

you're going is home on the bus.

You want to go perform in Vietnam?

What are you going to do?

A corroboree'?

Why not'? We're the best girl group

you'll ever see.

You're the best Aboriginal

girl group I've ever...

you're the only

Aboriginal girl group I've ever seen.

But trust me, girls, singing in

Vietnam'? It's not for you.
