Crash!
[Chickens clucking]
Both:
Whoa.All of the trolleys
that are racing tomorrow
need to be scrutineered
and do a safety run today.
Okay.
Just the wombat's.
So we're all set then?
- Yeah.
- Cool.
- Name?
- Uh, B. Walker.
And this...
Is the Kiwi Flyer.
Kiwi Flyer?
Looks more like flying poo.
Watch it.
Have you read
and do you understand the rules?
Yeah, that bit about
"no unlawful assistance."
What does that mean?
[Chuckles]
No cheating.
That's what that means.
Hidden motors, windup Springs,
sails.
Anything that makes the trolley
go that isn't gravity.
Anyone pulls any of that
clever dickery,
they'll be out of here,
like a bald man
with a boot up his backside.
Rightly so, too.
- All checks out.
- Thanks.
There. Good.
You're good
for your practice run.
Cool.
Okay.
I don't know.
This is gonna hurt me more
than it's gonna hurt you.
Well...
Go.
[Splat]
Walker!
You got a death wish?
Hey!
- Oi!
- What are you, crazy?
Just joking, bro,
just joking.
I'll give you a joke.
What's he doing?
We know you have a rocket
to make it go faster.
Rockets?
That was you yesterday,
wasn't it?
You took them out
just for today, didn't you?
In case they checked.
You can't even cheat honestly.
Listen, you scum,
there are no rockets.
Get that?
I got one. I took one.
You mean you stole one?
Sounds like we should
call the police.
Anyway, they're for
spray painting, you ig.
So you be real careful
about who you say is cheating.
And just so you remember...
Hey! You lot!
Time for your practice runs!
Use 'em or lose 'em.
Ready, 93?
All right.
Three, two, one, go!
Three, two, one, go!
[Applause]
Go!
Ready, redrak racer?
[Cheers and applause]
Okay. Nice. Good.
You ready, Kiwi Flyer?
Ready.
Three, two, one, go!
[Applause]
Go! Go!
42.5.
Good time.
Yeah?
- 42.5 seconds.
- Yes.
And look, here comes Shannon.
43.2.
Thank you, everyone.
Now, the first race tomorrow
is at 10:
00.Don't be late.
Huh.
Oh, you finally finished.
My stopwatch ran out of
batteries waiting for you.
Should've used a calendar.
Man, you're funny.
It's time trials.
It's not the same
as real racing.
You think so?
I know so.
You might as well know
what it feels like to lose.
Like your dad.
Hang on.
No. Let's do this.
Whoa,
what are you guys up to?
- Ah, just one more run.
- Please?
All right, well,
we've only got ten minutes
till we open the road,
so you better get on with it.
You know what to do.
Ready?
Ready.
Ready.
Three, two, one,
Go!
Go! Go on. Go!
Show me what you're made of.
Now!
Hey!
Hey! He cut him off!
Oh, he must have lost control.
Bulltwinkie!
Okay. Finish him off.
Hey!
Oh!
[Crash]
Ben!
Nice driving, little bro.
Mate? You all right?
Ben!
- Amanda?
- What happened?
I heard you were practicing.
Hi, Amanda.
Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
- I'm okay.
- You'd better be.
For the school dance.
your friends along for him, eh?
What are you talking about?
Ben's going to the dance
with me.
- What's she talking about?
- He asked me to the dance.
Is it true? What she said?
- I-I tried to...
- Ah, man. I don't believe this.
Some mate you are.
I can't believe it!
You're on your own.
I quit!
Hi, I'm Tracy.
- Are you able to move at all?
- Yeah.
All right, come on.
We'll go and take you over here
so we can check you out.
Come up this way.
Here, it's the only thing
worth keeping.
Oh.
It's a bit of bad luck,
isn't it, mate?
LA LA loser!
Whew!
[Car horn beeps a tune]
How...
would you like to go out
and grab a bite with me?
Ugh.
Would you, one night,
fancy catching a meal with me?
Uh, I don't suppose
that you'd like to
go out to dinner with me?
Oh.
Is that all you've got to say?
- I can explain.
- Don't lie to me, Ben.
You've been lying for the past
two weeks, haven't you?
You haven't been
to one extension studies class.
Your teacher's just told me.
What was he doing here?
He found this
when he was biking past
the trolley course.
Your name's on it.
I told you I don't want you
to have anything to do
with that race.
I was doing it for dad.
What?
He never got to win.
I wanted to win for him.
Oh, that's a laugh.
If it wasn't
for that stupid race,
he'd still be here with us.
No, he had to go
and get himself killed
getting your stupid trolley.
Ben, I didn't mean...
I know what you mean.
He was
building that trolley for me.
That's why he went out that day.
And now he's dead
because of me.
It's my fault!
No.
It's not your fault.
It's nobody's fault.
But it's true, isn't it?
You can't
look at things like that.
Police said the other driver's
brakes failed.
- It just happened.
- But why did it happen?
It's just not fair!
It's not fair!
I know.
I know it's not.
Oh, my boy.
I wouldn't have
gone in the race.
But Shannon and Shane
said dad was a loser.
What?
They said he was
a legend as a loser.
because he didn't win.
Is that right?
[Groaning]
Ah!
[Groaning]
Ah!
[Groaning]
Have a look at this.
This...
Is your dad.
He didn't.
and he tried his best.
Again and again.
Became a bit of
a crowd favorite.
They gave him
That shirt is tragic.
[Laughs]
How come dad
never told me about this?
You know him.
Didn't like showing off.
He ought to be proud
about something like this.
He was! Really proud.
He'd always say
what was most important
was that you tried your best.
That's what I wanted to do.
I know.
And you were right.
I want you to go in that race.
I can't.
You can.
No, I really can't.
The race is tomorrow
and the trolley
I was working on,
it got wrecked.
It's busted.
I can't.
What?
- Just come here.
- What is it?
What's that?
That is your trolley.
Mine.
It was on the back
of the ute when...
Your dad...
It's...
wow!
You kept it.
I don't know why.
Nah.
It's not gonna work.
Hey!
Hey!
If we work together,
we can finish it off
for the race.
We haven't got wheels.
Everything got destroyed.
Sorry, mum, it's great,
Uh.
I-I've got some wheels.
That was nice of Mr. Lumsden
to loan us those wheels,
wasn't it?
Now, where are...
Choice.
Got it! Ha!
- Our old tent.
- What?
New body shell.
We can stretch it over that,
right?
Yeah, sure.
Your dad and I used to
go camping in this
before you came along.
Oh, and look.
He burnt that
with the gas stove.
Typical.
Great.
One more thing.
Eh?
Ta-da!
What do you think?
I think your dad would like it.
Me too.
