(CROWD CHANTS)

Two men enter, one man leaves.

DR. DEALGOOD:
And right now,

I've got two men.

Two men with a gut full of fear.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...

...dying time's here!

He's the ball cracker.

Death on foot.

You know him. You love him!

He's Blaster!

(CROWD CHEERS)

The challenger,

direct from out of the Wasteland.

He's bad. He's beautiful.

He's crazy!

It's the man with no name!

(CROWD CHEERS)

Thunderdome's simple. Get to the

weapons, use them anyway you can.

I know you won't break the rules.

There aren't any.

Remember where you are.

This is Thunderdome.

Death is listening, and will take

the first man that screams.

Prepare!

(CROWD CHANTS)

Two men enter, one man leaves!

(MAN SCREAMS)

(CROWD CHANTS)

Kill him!

- You know the law!

- This is Thunderdome!

Kill him!

No, no! Look at his face!

He's got the mind of a child.

It's not his fault.

Blaster, I'm sorry.

This wasn't part of the deal.

MASTER:

Deal?

What do you mean, "deal"?

You must have tasted it.

It was in your hands.

AUNTY:

You had it all!

What do you mean, "deal"?

MASTER:

No more methane!

This place...finished!

IRONBAR:

No, little man.

We've only just begun.

MASTER:

Oh, no.

MASTER:

No, no.

MAX:

Open it.

Two men enter. One man leaves!

(CROWD CHANTS)

Two men enter. One man leaves!

What's this?!

Do you think I don't know the law?

Wasn't it me who wrote it?

And this man has broken the law.

Right or wrong, we had a deal.

And the law says,

"Bust a deal, face the wheel."

Bust a deal and face the wheel.

(CROWD CHANTS)

Bust a deal and face the wheel.

All our lives hang by a thread.

Now we've got a man

waiting for sentence.

But ain't it the truth?

You take your chances with the law.

Justice is only a roll of the dice...

...a flip of the coin,

a turn of the wheel.

(CROWD CHANTS)

Gulag! Gulag! Gulag!

Fix it.

You run Bartertown.

You fix.

Not pigs! No!

That's enough!

Do you want to use him or kill him?

Bring him up.

Master, do what Ironbar says.

I will. Yeah, I will.

(YELLS)

(YELLS)

FINN:

Savannah!

SAVANNAH:

Finn, look.

It's him. I finded him.

SAVANNAH:

It's Captain Walker.

GEKKO:
What's his talk?

ANNA:
He ain't made wordstuff.

It's a long track.

Maybe he's burned out.

GEKKO:

Maybe. Maybe he's just listening.

MR. SKYFISH:

Walker? Hello?

GEKKO:
Maybe he's talking,

but we ain't hearing.

MR. SKYFISH:

You see his lips ain't moving.

GEKKO:

Not with wordstuff, with sonic.

MR, SKYFISH:
That ain't never gonna

work, sonic-bonic bullshit!

GEKKO:

This is Delta-Fox-X-Ray.

Can you hear me?

Delta-Fox-X-Ray.

Come in.

Is anybody out there?

Can you read me, Walker?

Delta-Fox-X-Ray.

Come in.

What's up, Doc?

Hey, take me with you!

GEKKO:

Can you hear me, Walker?

(MAX AND KIDS SCREAM)

GIRL:

Fly, Walker!

(KIDS CHANT)

Fly, Walker, fly!

Who are you?

Quiet!

Shut up!

MAX:

Enough!

Who are you?

The waiting ones.

Waiting for what?

Waiting for you.

And who am I?

I think he be testing us.

This a testing, Walker?

You reckon we been slack?

I don't know.

Maybe you've been slack.

We ain't. We kept it straight.

It's all there.

Everything marked, everything

'membered. You wait, you'll see.

This you knows.

I be First Tracker.

Times past count I done the Tell.

But it weren't me that tumbled Walker.

It was Savannah.

So it's only right

that she take the Tell.

This ain't one body's story.

It's the story of us all.

We got it mouth-to-mouth.

You got to listen it and 'member.

'Cause what you hears today

you got to tell the birthed tomorrow.

I'm looking behind us now...

...across the count of time...

...down the long haul,

into history back.

I sees the end what were the start.

It's Pox-Eclipse, full of pain!

And out of it were birthed

crackling dust and fearsome time.

It were full-on winter...

...and Mr. Dead chasing them all.

But one he couldn't catch.

That were Captain Walker.

He gathers up a gang, takes to the air

and flies to the sky!

So they left their homes,

said bidey-bye to the high-scrapers...

...and what were left of the knowing,

they left behind.

Some say the wind just stoppered.

Others reckon it were a gang

called Turbulence.

And after the wreck...

...some had been jumped by Mr. Dead...

...but some had got the luck,

and it leads them here.

One look and they's got the hots for it.

They word it "Planet Earth."

And they says, "We don't need

the knowing. We can live here."

"We don't need the knowing.

We can live here."

SAVANNAH:

Time counts and keeps counting.

They gets missing what they had.

They get so lonely for the

high-scrapers and the video.

Videos!

SAVANNAH:
And they do pictures so they

'member all the knowing they lost.

SLAKE:

'Member this?

KIDS:

Tomorrow-morrow Land!

SLAKE:

'Member this?

KIDS:

The River of Light!

SLAKE:

'Member this?

KIDS:

Skyraft!

SLAKE:

'Member this?

KIDS:

Captain Walker!

SLAKE:

'Member this?

KIDS:

Mrs. Walker!

(KIDS CHANT)

Then Captain Walker picked them

of an age and good for a long haul.

They counted twenty, and that were them.

The great leaving.

KIDS:
"Rescue party departed

at first light...

...led by Flight Captain G.L. Walker."

"May God have mercy on our souls."

They said bidey-bye to them

what they'd birthed.

And from the nothing

they looked back...

...and Captain Walker hollered,

"Wait, one of us will come."

"Wait, one of us will come."

And somebody did come.

(KIDS CHANT)

Walker.

We's heartful to you,

Captain Walker.

We's ready now. Take us home.

We kept it straight!

Everything marked, everything 'membered!

MAX:
You kept it real good.

You ain't been slack.

GEKKO:
Why are we waiting?

MAX:
That ain't me.

- You got the wrong guy.

MR. SKYFISH:
Quit joshing!

- Catch the wind.

- We got to see Tomorrow-morrow Land!

Home! Tomorrow-morrow Land!

There were places like these.

Cities.

They were called cities.

They had lots of knowing.

They had skyscrapers...

...videos and they had the sonic.

Then this happened.

This Pox-Eclipse happened, and it's

finished. It isn't there anymore.

You got to understand

that this is home...

...and there's no Tomorrow Land...

...and I ain't Captain Walker.

This is it!

TUBBA:

We's loaded and waiting, Captain.

MR. SKYFISH:
We got the wind

up our arse, Captain. Let's go!

Who's coming?

We's pulling a leaving.

There ain't gonna be no leavings.

All that's just jerking time.

We's working it different.

Ain't you seen nothing?

He couldn't catch the wind.

There weren't no skyrafting.

There won't be no salvage.

This is our Tomorrow-morrow Land.

He's proof of that.

Program! All of you program.

If he ain't Captain Walker, who is he?

SAVANNAH:
He ain't no different

to us. He slogged it on foot.

If he can get here,

we can get back.

He ain't much bigger than us.

Copilot did it.

So why can't we?

That's the trick of it.

Who's coming?

Across the nothing?

Don't you 'member?

When you finded him,

he were half jumped by Mr. Dead.
