Danny Deckchair Page #2

- So we could have gone on holiday?

- Yeah, sure.

We could have gone and sat

in a leaky tent for two weeks.

What kind of a holiday

is that, Danny?

I thought you wanted

to go camping.

Well... No.

But we've been planning it all year.

I told you to go ahead

and go by yourself.

Yeah, well maybe I will.

Fine. What?

So now you're gonna go!

And what do I tell all our friends

we've invited to the barbie?

What barbie?

This weekend,

the long weekend.

It's your barbie!

I'm standing here.

On the ground.

The sky above

won't fall down...

- Thanks, Clair.

- Okay, see you.

Don't change for you.

Don't change a thing

for me.

Yeah... Right.

- Hi!

- Hi.

- Come in. I'll take this.

- Hi, how you doing?

- So how was lunch?

- Shh.

Hey, hey!

Oy, oy.

- I love that top.

- Hey, what's up?

I've got something to show you.

- What?

- Yeah, right...

Oh, yeah.

What do they do?

Then after lunch, he said...

"Why don't we go for drive?"

And I said, "Okay. "

And we ended up in Avalon.

- Avalon?

- Uh-huh.

And get this...

we went for a walk on the beach.

- No way!

- Mm-hmm.

You went for a walk on the beach

with Sandy Upman?

Yeah.

Come on, Stuey.

Shh.

Well done, Stuey.

- That's it.

- You and your bloody ideas, mate.

You don't seriously think

you'll get off the ground, do you?

What's the big deal?

I just want to see if it works.

- Like this, see?

- Oh yeah.

Hey, it's all right by me, just

as long as we can watch the footy.

- Okay.

- Eh-eh!

- All right, Stuey, not bad.

- Wo-ooh!

Anyway,

Sandy's got bigger fish to fry.

He wants to move up from Sport

to the National News spot.

All right.

- Do these kebabs look big enough?

- Hey you, slow down...

- Hey, Danny, what are you doing?

- Trying to get back to Kansas.

Toto.

Danny, uh...

the missus.

Planning a little trip?

Look, Trudy, it's stupid.

I know that.

- He just wants to see if it'll work.

That's right.

And how do you plan

on getting back down?

- Ah, Let him fly.

- Let him go, Trudy.

Come on, Trudy, let him go.

Let him fly. Let him go.

He can go to the moon

for all I care.

Come on, you fellows.

- Nice?

- Yeah.

We're gonna feed you so full. You're never

gonna take off the ground.

Well, despite a four goal lead

so early on...

...right back into this game and

the Demons now are on four goals 3.27...

- And it's five goals 4.34...

- Oh my God.

Wow!

- Get on there. Come here.

- Go on.

Let's go. Think we have

enough of these, mate?

I swear he's born

and bred like this.

Here we go.

That might not make the distance.

Goal!

The scissors.

Use the sci...

Ooh, Danny!

- He was supposed to have them with him.

- Danny!

Danny!

There he is.

There is the... There he is!

I can't see him.

It works.

Well don't just stand there.

Trudy, get out of the car.

Come on, get out of the car.

- Quick, quick, come on.

- Hey, Trudy, Trudy!

- Come on.

- Trudy, calm down. Trudy!

- Trudy, come here. It's all right.

- What are we supposed to do?

- He's on a what?

- Yeah, yeah, I know.

- Give me air traffic control.

- There's something up there.

- Yeah, we got it.

- What is it?

You're not gonna believe this.

Close runway two.

We have an

unidentified craft in sector K.

Divert all flight paths

in that sector.

Bugger.

Hope he packed a raincoat.

That was close.

- He's gone.

- We lost him.

- I don't know exactly what happened.

- He just... You know, went up.

- Okay, I'll just...

- You guys should just do something.

We put out a statewide APB.

But there's not much more

we can do. I hope he comes back.

- No, I'll stay and help her clean up.

- You sure?

- Pull the TV in from the back.

- Did the Swans win?

Yeah.

Hi, what exactly happened here?

Did you have any indications

that he wouldn't let go?

Yeah-ah!

What's that?

- What's...

- What is that?

It's a UFO.

Oh my God.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, let's go!

Oh God.

Better get you to a doctor.

Dave, Dave, I saw it.

Bloody brig and bright

and it went down right over there.

- Right behind Glenda Lake's place.

- Glenda's house?

- All right, guys.

- Landed at Glenda's?

Thank you.

That's okay.

- Where am I?

- You're in Clarence.

- And where is that?

- Northern Rivers.

All the way up there!

So I did it. I really did it.

Where did you come from?

I uh...

Get out of the way!

Get out of the f***ing way.

Get out of the way. Get back...

Don't shoot, don't shoot.

We come in peace.

- Glenda, are there more of them?

- More of what?

More of... More of...

I don't know. More of what, Dave?

I don't know.

Glenda, just come towards us.

- Come away from him.

- No, he's mine.

- What? A guest?

- I mean, he's a guest of mine.

Since when do you have a guest?

Is it too hard to believe, Dave,

that I have a man in my house?

Who the hell is he then?

- I just came down from...

- Lismore.

He's down from Lismo. He's an old

professor of mine from Lismore Uni.

Just here for a visit, Dave.

You never told me

about any professor.

It's none of your business.

And what do you think you're doing.

- Barging in my house like this?

- Well...

What was that that came down

your backyard, then?

It was one of your stupid fireworks.

It set my tree on fire.

If my friend hadn't put it out, it

would have burned the whole house down.

All right.

So you know each other then?

Yeah.

Come on, Dave.

Sorry about that, Glenda.

Sorry, mate, Professor.

Come on now.

- Uh, I'm sorry.

- No worries.

- Welcome to Clarence, Professor.

He's from Lismore.

He's kind of cute if you ask me.

This is the busiest

this house has been in a while.

Mm-mm.

We need these photos now.

Where did he go?

What made him do it?

These questions are on the lips

of everyone in this Sydney suburb.

No, I'm sorry,

she's not taking calls right now.

We're keeping the line free.

Goodbye.

- That's my house on TV.

- It was a joke gone out of hand.

They're talking about my Danny.

Let us in.

Kaz?

It's me, Pete, open up.

- But I'm a friend of the family.

- What are you doing?

No, I'm a friend of Trudy's.

- Trudy, Trudy!

- What are you doing here?

I just wanna help.

I only want to help.

- Do you two know each other?

- Trudy?

I'll put you on TV, okay?

Prime time, a million viewers.

Trudy,

you can make a personal plea.

Somebody out there

must have seen something.

It's your best chance

of finding him, really.

It's worth a shot, Trud.

It's worth... it's worth a shot.

You're a cop?

Good morning to you too.

I'm a parking cop, the only one

in town. So watch yourself, mate.

And listen I'm running late

and I don't know what your story is...

...but there's a kettle on the stove...

...tomato sandwich in the fridge.

...and some clothes on the chair there.

And when you leave...

I'd appreciate it if you didn't

take anything else.

Understand?

And good morning to you.

I should really call my station manager.

Do you mind if I use the phone?

Go ahead.

Hello?

- Trudy's fine.

- Who's this?
