You're a real human being.

Shut up! Get out of here!

Get out of my way!

The old meat grinder's

humming tonight, eh?

Yeah, Max took out a couple of crazies

just now, that's all.

Another one for your books, eh?

Have you eaten yet?

No, not yet. I'll pick up something later.

That Code 3 you ran down

a few days ago....

-The Nightrider?

-The Nightrider, yeah.

-Got a problem.

-What's that?

His friends. Word is they're out to get you.

-Scoot jockeys?

-Yeah, nomad trash.

Well, I'll add it to my threat collection.

Good boy, Max. You're a good boy.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

We're here to meet a friend.

Comin' on the train.

Nothing comin' on the train

except a couple of crates and a...

...coffin.

Our friend.

You'll have to see the agent

and sign the papers.

Where do we find...

...this agent?

Wait.

That must be your friend over there.

Didn't leave much of him.

Must have cut his heart out, huh?

That's what I meant.

Poor bastard.

The Nightrider...

...that is his name.

Remember him...

...when you look at the night sky.

I will.

Take your hat off.

Anything you say.

Anything I say.

What a wonderful philosophy you have.

Take him away.

Push me, shove you!

Oh, yeah? Says who?

Don't worry.

Anyway, my name is Jim Goose.

Rockatansky, here.

We have incident at Wee Jerusalem.

Nomad bikers, bulk trouble.

Okay, we're in on it. We're going.

Goose, let's go.

So long. Sorry, we gotta go.

What's this?

It's a get-out-of-jail-free card.

-Any more details?

-No.

Okay, we're going.

-Max, see what I see?

-Yeah.

Hey, fella, stop!

Hey, fella, stop!

What a turkey!

Hey, fella, you're a turkey, you know that?

We'll come back for him later.

There's more up ahead.

See to her.

Bronze!

Gonna get you!

It's all right. No one's gonna hurt you.

It's all right.

This one's whacked out of his skull.

Whacked right out of his skull, man!

He ain't never coming back.

It's all right.

I'm gonna let this go now.

I know you're a frightened girl...

...but no one's gonna hurt you anymore.

My name's Jim Goose,

and everything's gonna be all right.

Fifi wants no recurrence

of the Sun City incident.

Warn people off the roads.

Use your sirens.

The Nightrider!

Hey, Jimbo.

Remember that Code 3?

Remember him when you look up!

Well, well, well.

Johnny the Boy is still at the wreck.

Stoned again.

He's never gonna learn.

But we are going to teach him, Bubba.

You are going back for him.

No way! Not me, not for him!

But it's not for him.

It's for me, Bubba.

You're wasting your time!

The Scag don't rate!

He's nothing like the Nightrider!

MFP Code 1.

Captain Macaffee in convoy from

the courthouse to the Halls ofJustice.

Hey, mister.

What happened to the car?

What do you think happened?

Looks like it was chewed up and spat out.

Perhaps it was the result of anxiety.

Hey, Roop.

Stay here, man.

I think they're out there.

Take your time, Charlie.

We got plenty of it.

I can see the lnterceptor.

What do you say, Scag?

Got no special place to go, huh?

We'd better prep him.

Scag, did you bring your toothbrush?

-You'll have to sit on the Goose.

-Why?

-No contest.

-Damn!

Hey, Fif! What's going on?

-What happened?

-Let him go.

What's he mean:
"Let him go"?

Who's this?

-Keep out of this.

-What's going on?

No one showed, okay?

Forget it, Charlie. Just let him go.

No one showed. No one.

What's he mean:
"No one showed"?

They didn't show.

Nobody! The punks didn't show.

The girl didn't show,

the townspeople didn't show.

Nobody showed!

-We're screwed!

-Don't touch me!

What do you mean: "No one showed"?

Where were you, man?

It means, old man, you haven't got a case.

No contest.

Jesus Christ! You're not gonna

let him walk out the door, Fifi?

That's exactly what you're going to do!

-Shut up, Ralphie!

-Keep going, Charlie!

Hey, Bronze, look at you...

...a cripple and a mute!

He sings and I tap-dance!

Hey, you know what you are?

The courts will hear about this,

I promise you!

The courts will hear about this disgrace!

This man is grossly offensive!

Get him out of here, Max!

-I can make a case of it!

-No one filed a complaint!

You saw what they did to that girl!

For God's sake, she was the town pump!

He's my prisoner,

and he's not walking out that door!

-Get him out of here!

-Who is this guy?

Goose, settle down, boy.

Look, they're laughing at us!

Can't you see they're laughing at us?

I don't believe this!

See you later, Goose.

It's been a pleasure.

Get in the car, go home.

We don't want you around here.

You can't do anything about it!

We know who you are, Bronze!

We'll see you on the road, Scag!

See you on the road

like we saw the Nightrider!

We remember the Nightrider,

and we know who you are!

So long as the paperwork is clean,

you boys can do what you like out there.

Here he is, the walking armpit!

There's a fire in my belly,

and she's the woman to put it out.

Off, brute, this angel is

hot in the tubes for me!

I'm on fire!

Joviality is a game of children.

She's mine. I should have been

a surgeon with these hands.

Mudguts, get out of there!

Cundalini, put her against the post.

We have a problem here.

She is not what she seems.

Bubba Zanetti has it on good authority...

...she's sent by the Bronze,

full of treachery.

The Bronze kill our pride.

If you're gonna waste the Bronze,

you gotta do it big!

You just don't have the style,

do you, chicken sh*t?

Goes to water on a dummy.

It's all right, you'll get your chance!

Just remember...

...to keep your sweet...

...sweet mouth shut!

Gosling One. Code 3 in progress.

We have a curfew violation.

Sun City Sector 9, Code 4 in progress.

Welcome Main Force units

to three day Angel Patrol.

Nice to have you back, Big Bopper Two.

MFP, copy.

Hey, it's the Goose.

You're a lucky boy.

Didn't even get road rash.

Hey, Midge...

...don't write off the Goose...

...until you see the box going into the hole.

Yeah, well, don't wreck my truck now.

-I'll bring it back tomorrow.

-Yeah, no hurry.

Hey, you sure you're all right?

Couldn't be righter.

Jimmy the Goose,

larger than life and twice as ugly!

Light me, Johnny.

Light another.

This is a threshold moment, Johnny.

Step through.

Toecutter, this isn't what I want.

Light it!

Light it, Johnny, for me.

The Bronze,

they keep you from being proud.

Look at him. He looks silly,

doesn't he, upside down?

Do it for freedom and the Nightrider!

I can't, no!

You scum-sucking trash!

Throw it!

That "thing" in there, that's not the Goose.

No way.

I was hungry.

Peanut butter and honey.

I just can't get it clear in my head, Jess.

He was so full of living, you know.

He ran the franchise on it.

Now there's nothing.

Here I am, trying to put sense to it...

...when I know there isn't any.

I'll be all right,

once I get it clear in my head.

All vehicle repairs must be authorized

by the Hall Captains.

Officers may not deal directly

with underground mechanics.
