Backyard Ashes Page #8

Listen, I reckon I acted

like a bit of a d*ckhead

when you first moved in.

Well, I was no innocent bystander.

Wouldn't have helped moving

next door to lunatics.

No.

EDWARD:
You've got it

pretty good here, Douglas.

Probably take it for granted

a bit sometimes.

- Hm.

- DOUGIE:
You know...

wouldn't do you any harm

to lighten up a bit, eh?

Yes, there's no argument

from me there.

- That was a good game.

- It was a great game.

We should do it again some time.

Perhaps.

Won't go so easy on you next time.

Well, there's no need to

do us any favours.

I reckon the ashes should

stay with the original owners.

Thank you, Douglas. Thank you.

(CHUCKLES)

- I'll fix that fence tomorrow.

- I'll come give you a hand.

EDWARD:
'And no matter

what a mate may do...

a mate can do no wrong.'

Henry Lawson.

Is that... what you want?

What is this actually for?

Documentary.

Just keep going, Edward.

Oh. We are in a documentary.

(CHUCKLES)

Now you go and play.

This is your lawn too.

- For you, my sweet.

- Thank you, darling.

All the best.

Well, now, it's the first ball

on the first day of the

Ashes Boxing Day test.

Perfect conditions

here on the Gabba.

Edward Lords, captain of England,

now at the top of his run up.

Get your hand off it, Pom.

(SNIGGERING)

(SLOW CLAPPING)

You wouldn't be dead for quids.

(FASTER CLAPPING)

ALL:
Whoa!

(BALL WHISTLES THROUGH AIR)

Meow!

(TROY FISHER "WALTZING MATILDA")

Once a jolly swagman

Camped by a billabong

Under the shade of a coolibah tree

And he sang as he watched

and waited till his billy boiled

'You'll come a-waltzing Matilda

with me'

Waltzing Matilda

Waltzing Matilda

You'll come a-waltzing

Matilda with me

And he sang as he watched and

waited till his billy boiled

'You'll come a-waltzing

Matilda with me'

Down came a jumbuck

To drink at the billabong

Up jumped the swagman

and grabbed him with glee

And he sang as he shoved

that jumbuck in his tucker bag

'You'll come a-waltzing

Matilda with me'

Waltzing Matilda

Waltzing Matilda

You'll come a-waltzing

Matilda with me

And he sang as he shoved

that jumbuck in his tucker bag

'You'll come a-waltzing

Matilda with me'

Oh, yeah, with me

Oh, yeah

Waltzing Matilda

Waltzing Matilda

You'll come a-waltzing

Matilda with me

And he sang as he shoved

that jumbuck in his tucker bag

'You'll come a-waltzing

Matilda with me'

Oh, yeah, with me

Oh, yeah.

(STEVE BALBI "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN")

Oh, yeah

God save

God save our gracious Queen

Long live our noble Queen

God save our Queen

O Lord our God arise

Scatter her enemies

Make them all fall

Confound their politics

Frustrate their knavish tricks

On Thee our hopes we fix

God save our Queen

God save

Our Queen

God save

God save our Queen.
