Wake in Fright Page #3

I drink.

This beer's gone warm.

I...

Heads.

Here you are, doc.

Thanks, Joe.

It's a spinner's night,

nearly two-to-one on heads.

Good on you, doc.

Good on you... mate.

You want to bet on tails, son?

Fifty for the guy in the

jacket over there, slim.

Fair go.

When you're ready there, Brian.

No betting when I say fair go.

Fair go, Brian.

Fair go.

Two tails!

Anybody seen

a bloke with a coat on?

Where's that bloke in a coat?

Here! Here.

Thought I lost you, mate.

Move over!

Sit down here, son.

How many heads up?

Heads, heads! I bet on heads.

Anyone betting on tails?

No, on heads.

Tails, 100!

You're covered!

- A hundred for you?

- Yes.

You're on a head.

Anymore tails?

Will you place your bets

and take your seats?

Sorry, son.

Be quiet!

When you're ready for it.

Fair go.

They're up!

- Play for now.

- Hold it!

- Heads!

- All right.

When you're ready.

Don't forget, every Wednesday,

Thursday and Friday night!

Early start

Christmas Eve, boys!

Bring your own money,

anybody's girl.

Leaving it all on heads, mate?

Two hundred on tails.

I'll have 100.

You're on.

- What are you backing, mate?

- Tails.

You're set.

I'll back a head.

I'll back... you're up?

Thanks, mate.

You're too noisy!

Fair go, spinner.

When you're ready.

One of each,

which is no result.

Fair go.

Fair go!

Tails, they are!

Whoo!

$1,000.

Just...

Just one more spin,

and you're out of it.

Out of teaching.

Out of Tiboonda.

Toss? Toss?

Toss? Toss?

Who wants to toss?

Yes!

Here you are, son.

How much you tossing for?

$400 on tails.

You can't spin for tails, mate.

The spinner always

spins for heads.

- Heads.

- On a head.

Four hundred, Charlie.

Watch out, imbecile! Watch

where you're going, you mug.

When you're right now.

Come on,

out of the ring, you blokes.

Fair go, son.

Heads.

Settle down!

No, son. You gotta put 'em

above your head and spin it.

- All right?

- I'm sorry.

When you're right now.

Wait for it now.

When you're right.

Fair go.

Tails, two tails.

What, still here, Jack?

Hmm? Mmm.

How goes it?

Well, jock.

Look, um, will they cash a

check for me in this place?

Yeah, for how much?

Two hundred and ninety dollars.

- Gonna try the game, eh?

- Yes.

Two-ninety on heads.

Well, he's on heads now.

What are you betting on, mate?

Two-ninety on heads.

You're on.

Can you... can you tell me

where the labor exchange is?

Turn left as you go out,

second street, turn right,

next street,

turn left, it's on the right.

Yeah, so I say to this mug, I

said, "you better get out.

"You're barred from the pub.

"Every time you come in

here, you put on trouble."

And then, all of a sudden,
