I've never given you anything.

There is something I can really give you.

Oh?

Sit down.

I said sit.

I'm gonna take ten years off you.

'This is the final call

for PA-167.

'This flight connects at Heathrow

'for Qantas flight 351

'to Sydney, Australia. '

Frank, come on! Where've you been?

It's taking off in a minute.

Your result arrived this morning,

I went to pick it up.

- The gate's about to close.

- Just coming.

Frank, we haven't got time.

What does it say?

Right, I've passed.

Now, will you get on that bloody plane?

Let me see.

You passed with distinction.

I'm proud of you, Rita.

I'm proud of both of us.

- Sir, you'll miss your flight.

- Yeah, OK.

- Frank.

- What?

Thanks.
