Yah! Come on!
Hey, whoa, come on.
Yah, come on, come on!
Timmy, head 'em out!
Hup. Get 'em in.
Right. Get in. Come on. Yah.
Tommy.
Tommy.
Tommy!
We haven't got all day.
Yeah, Dad, sure.
I'll just... I'll just finish up.
Dad, I thought maybe we could have
that talk about the conservatorium.
What's that?
I said, it's a big game on Saturday.
Ah, yeah.
Ah, yes. Yeah.
We're gonna hit 'em hard. Yeah.
Only deal the team is having now
is staying focused.
Whoa, hey, watch out!
Yesterday,
police picked up
escaped convict Kalai Takalua,
also known as
on the desert outskirts
after a third escape
from Willyama Jail.
Takalua was convicted
and imprisoned in 1998
for stealing diamonds
from his employer
while working
in the Kimberley mines.
The diamonds, estimated to be
worth millions of dollars,
were never recovered.
Takalua was severely dehydrated
and reportedly near death
when found by a local teenager.
That's right, Sharon.
Thomas Mcalpine, a local boy
who contacted police,
and that'll make
Definitely.
See? That's right.
One of your own is a local celebrity.
How about that?
And how did he do it?
by following the law.
Tommy?
- Tommy?
- Huh?
Oh.
Tommy?
Look, to be honest,
I was just keeping
an eye out for roaming emu...
Settle down!
You know, I'm just glad he's alive.
He looked in pretty bad shape.
Oh, he'll be out of the hospital
and back in jail in no time.
Good on you.
Yes! Yes!
How does it feel to be
totally dominated by a gimp?
Mate, you are not seriously
going to make me do this.
What? Don't be such a chook.
You lost the race.
Mate, she doesn't even know I exist.
If I go up to her
she'll think I lost the plot.
Yeah, well, do you have a better plan
to get her to go out with you?
Yeah.
No.
Look, you've been obsessing
over this American honey...
I'm not obsessing, man.
That's creepy.
Okay, sorry.
Stalking this Yankee...
I'm not stalking!
All right, all right. You've been...
fancying her from afar.
Now, whatever plan
you have in your head
for getting on a date with Kat,
I'm going to go out on a limb here,
and I'm going to suggest
that it probably isn't working
based on the fact you have never
actually spoken to her.
Mate, I've got enough
going on today, okay?
I was nervous enough
about this talent show
before I happened to run
into a convict last night.
Is your dad coming today?
Who knows?
Don't get upset.
You know your music
inside out and backwards.
Yeah, but the school band
isn't exactly what I had in mind.
# Hello, my baby #
# Hello, my honey #
# Hello, my ragtime gal, my baby #
Okay, here's a new version
of the music.
I can't play this.
It's not what we practiced.
No, it's pretty similar.
Mostly the same.
Just some small changes.
There's three time signature changes.
So, just follow my lead, okay?
# And you'll be left alone, o, baby #
# Telephone and tell me #
You guys, there's four of them.
We could totally dress them up!
All right.
Hey, Maestro, you made it.
Do you think I'd miss this?
Here. It's for you. Open it.
- The conservatorium?
- Yeah.
- How?
- I sent them that CD you made.
No, that was awful.
It wasn't arranged properly.
Well, you got an audition out of it.
- Audition?
- Yeah.
"As an applicant
to the composers course..."
"A talent scout, Mr. David Wooley,
will travel to a venue of your choice
for a live audition."
Uh-huh.
"This has to be scheduled
sometime before July 15th."
That's only three weeks.
Yeah. But this is it, mate.
This is it.
- Ooh! I'd better get going.
- Thank you, Maestro.
You all ready?
All right, fantastic.
Written and conducted
by Thomas Mcalpine.
Most you folks know the Mcalpines
from Harmony Station,
especially Coach George Mcalpine,
who has led our footy team
to three championships!
In fact, I think I see
Coach Mcalpine here.
George, how's the AZ's looking?
Are we looking forward
It's just...
it's just kind of slowly
going downhill.
Well, that, um,
concludes our presentation
here at Willyama High School.
Thank you very, very much
for coming.
Your performance
was a little bit rough.
But look on the bright side...
this composition
is one of your best.
And you've got three weeks
to make it perfect.
Yeah, that's not enough time.
Especially with these musicians.
I mean, they can't play
to save their lives.
It's like everything I ever wanted
is right there in front of me,
and I can't reach out and get it.
Look, you've got three weeks.
Why don't you go to your father,
see if you can go to a larger town
and get better, more experienced,
musicians.
- My father?
- Yeah, your father.
Holy dooley!
I'm late for the game!
Thanks, Maestro!
Sorry!
Dad.
Dad...
Come late, you don't play.
- Next time.
- Next time.
It's time.
How did you sneak up on me
in a wheelchair?
Stealth mode.
I turn off the engine
and use my hands, old-school style.
But it's time.
Oh, mate. Come on, look.
Quote what's there, word for word,
or it doesn't count.
It's good.
Mate, I'm asking her out,
I'm not casting a spell on her.
Yeah, you're casting a spell...
you're casting a spell of love.
Go on. You lost the race,
you have to follow my plan.
I'm serious. American
football players are wusses!
Go. She's right there!
I just... I don't think...
Anyway, I'll catch you later.
Can I help you?
You are my sun,
my moon, and my stars.
A date with you would be
like swimming
Will you attend
What?
You are my sun...
No, I heard you the first time,
Michael Bolton.
Um, look, what's your name?
Tommy.
Okay, um, Tommy,
that was just... freaky,
so I'm just gonna
walk away now, okay?
That guy just asked me to the dance!
So, how'd it go?
If I, like, lay down
in front of your wheels,
can you do me a favor and just
roll over my neck till I'm dead?
Tommy.
Yeah, Dad, just a sec.
Where are you headed?
- Home.
- Oh, I don't think so.
Dad, come on.
It's nothing personal, Tommy.
Look, I was at the Maestro's, okay?
Tommy, when is enough
gonna be enough?
- Dad, come on.
- 50 hellbenders straight on.
We have an early start tomorrow.
- You said 40.
- 50.
Ow! Jeez!
Tommy.
Yeah?
This your truck?
It's my dad's.
So, are you gonna take me
for a ride in it, or what?
Yeah, no, I'd love to, but I...
You know, Ed's is open late tonight,
if you want to go and get...
Easy there, Casanova.
Okay. Make a left up here, okay?
Okay, kill the engine.
Hey, look, about on the field before,
I wasn't...
Shh!
Wha...?
I like you, Tommy.
I need you to do something for me.
But first, I need to know
whether or not you're in or out
'cause if you're in...
...things are gonna get
a little bit crazy.
Okay.
Koo-ee!
