Danny Deckchair Page #6

I'll be right back.

Professor, Professor!

Where are you going?

There he is!

- That's him just there!

- That's Danny... Danny Morgan!

Danny! Danny Morgan!

- He's over there!

- Danny!

Danny, wait a minutes, please.

Mr. Morgan, please wait!

Danny!

- An exclusive!

- You tell the story the way you want.

Help me out,

give me your hand.

Danny, how do you feel about it?

Oh, look at you.

Oh, Glenda!

- What's he doing here?

- You've got to get this.

I'm the guy who found you.

I found him!

- Oh my God.

- I found him.

Glenda!

Danny! Ha ha!

Danny, Danny, please!

- Glenda, I can explain.

- Go to hell.

- Was I some little fling?

- Glenda, please.

Get out of my life.

- Glenda!

- You've heard the lady.

- Come on... Let's go home.

Danny, what the story?

Come on, Mr. Morgan, the whole

country is wanting to see you.

Glenda who?

Did you get her name?

- Mate, call home.

- Where's he going? Stop him.

Not a good idea.

Trudy, Trudy!

This is my chopper!

This is my chopper!

Trudy! Trudy!

Trudy, wait!

We have to interrupt

this broadcast for a special report.

AUS 11

has found Danny Morgan.

- Oh my God! Oh my God!

- AUS 11 is bringing you.

...his extraordinary story of survival.

- There he is!

- Danny Morgan was finally found.

...today in the Northern Rivers

town of Clarence.

- 'Cause he's a man!

- Through exclusive sources...

AUS 11 was able to uncover

the whereabouts of Danny.

We're crossing now to the helipad...

- Yeah, I know!

... Chopper is about to land.

- All right, I'm on my way.

- AUS 11 exclusive...

...we have found Danny...

Could you get my bag, please?

Make way for Mr. Morgan.

Please step back.

Trudy, come on!

Just move in a bit closer there.

Danny, that's it, lovely!

Another quick one.

Move in, that's it.

- Out back, come on.

- See you, Danny.

One more, Danny?

Just one more?

- Hi, Danny.

- Danny!

Hey, hey, hey!

Nice trip?

Lunch at the Ritz-Carlton,

calls from John Laws.

Tomorrow we meet the Premier.

Hey, you cheeky bugger.

Hey, if you're gonna advertise,

will you at least get the name right?

Danny and I are footy mates

from high school. Isn't that right?

Absolute honor to meet you...

...you've been an inspiration

to all of us in the Air Force.

If there's anything I can do,

anything at all, just give me a call.

Don't forget your mates

who made this all possible.

That's my mate here.

So Danny, what are you gonna do

when all this dies down?

The holiday ends today.

Time to get back to work, eh, Danny?

Yeah, I could do that.

I was only joking, mate.

I don't care.

I might as well get back to it.

No, no, no, no, no.

We're meeting the Premier tomorrow.

You're a VIP now, Danny.

You can't just go back to...

Okay, okay, everybody!

Time to go.

Come on, I've got to get up

in the morning.

Is he serious?

Thanks a lot.

He needs some space.

See you.

I'm...

I'm tired.

I wanna sleep.

Yeah, of course you do.

Why'd you slip away?

There's nothing I can do.

The tighter I hold on.

The more I seem to lose.

Nothing left to say.

You see it's much the same.

I'm still hurt.

...and I'm still here.

What's this?

I can't do this anymore, Dave.

What do you mean?

The job... I don't like it. I've never

liked it. I don't want to do it anymore.

Okay, all right.

I know what you're saying.

Maybe you just need

to take a break, that's all.

Sorry, Dave.

I've just gotta get out of here.

So then, Howard told us all

to put on an extra run.

You'd think with twelve trucks you'd

fill that order in a week, wouldn't you?

- Yeah, piece of piss.

- Exactly.

That's what I keep telling him.

Here we are again, eh?

It's like you never

went anywhere, isn't it?

So what happened up there anyway?

Long story.

We're not exactly

going anywhere, are we?

So... what about

that little lady up there then?

What do you mean?

Well, I saw you

running after her on TV.

Hey, hey, hey, hey...

...it's all right.

Don't give yourself a hard time.

Plenty of blokes have flings when they

go away on business and stuff.

It doesn't mean a thing.

I mean,

you came back, didn't you?

So...

...what about it?

Did you have a little fling?

A little holiday thing?

A little ring-a-ding-ding?

No?

What are you doing?

Danny? Danny!

Mate!

What's the matter with you?

Get back here.

Come on, mate, don't be stupid.

You know I can't drive.

There are plenty of choices here.

...but I think you like

that one, don't you?

May I help you? Mr. Upman!

I'm all right, all right.

Who the hell do you think you are?

- Not here, Sandy.

- How could you leave me behind?

That was my chopper.

I ordered that chopper.

Do you know what's happened?

I lost my job because of what you did.

- Sandy, I...

- No, no, I bent over backwards for you.

I broke the rules for you

and what do I get?

- I had no choice.

- I was reaching out for you.

- That was my chopper...

- Sandy!

Can I have a second with Trudy?

Yeah, sure, Danny.

Hi, baby, what are you doing here?

- It's not gonna work, Trudy.

- I don't want to hear this.

- Trudy.

- Well, it's not fair.

What do you mean?

You did something, Danny.

You and your crazy ideas.

And now we have a chance.

Like we could really go somewhere.

I reckon I know what you want.

And I'm not it.

Believe me, all this stuff

is gonna blow over.

And we'd be right back

where we started.

What happened to you up there?

Everything!

You're gonna be all right?

Yeah.

- You're coming back, aren't you?

- I don't know.

But where are you gonna go?

What are you gonna do?

Don't worry, Sonya,

I can work it out as I go along.

- Are you sure you've done this before?

- Yeah.

We're there. Go, go, go, go.

- You really sure you wanna do this?

- Yes.

- All right, one, two...

- Rah!

Three.

Ah-aah!

Oh-ooh!

- Here's my keys. Use the house...

- Glenda-aaaa!

No.

Glenda!

Glenda!

Please.

- Please, wait.

- I don't wanna talk to you.

- I'm sorry, Glenda.

- So am I, Danny.

Sorry for everything.

Yeah? Well, that doesn't

make it all right.

Yes it does, bloody hell.

I dropped out of the sky

into your backyard...

...twice!

You... You've got someone else.

It's finished. It's over.

Now you think you can

drop back into my life.

...say you're sorry and think everything

goes right back to the way it was?

No, no, I'll do whatever it takes.

I'll get my own place here.

I'll get a job...

...send you flowers, take you out

on dates like normal people.

You're not normal, Danny.

Glenda!

Whatever it takes.

Glenda.

Glenda!

Glenda, I love you!

Are you always like this?

I was thinking...

...maybe we could go camping

sometime.

Work our way up the coast

or something.

Yeah, I'd like that.

Do you know what I've always

wanted to do?

What?

I'd like to go

to some foreign country.

...like Spain or Bolivia

or Vietnam.

Just pitch a tent somewhere.

You mean take a tent and sleeping bags

and stuff all in a plane?

Yeah, I guess.

What's wrong with that?

Nothing.
