?? AS YOU PASS BY

THAT BILLABONG ??

?? YOU'LL COME A-WALTZING ??

?? MATILDA ??

?? WITH ME ????

CAPTAIN.

YOU'D BETTER HAVE A LOOK

AT ACKERMAN.

ACKERMAN ?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM ?

THE DOCTOR SAYS:

HE'S IN A BAD WAY.

YOU'D BETTER HAVE

A LOOK AT HIM.

I'LL GO RIGHT DOWN.

DO THAT AGAIN, BABY,

WILL YA ?

[ Chuckles ]

HELLO, ACKERMAN.

HELLO, CAPTAIN.

WELL, HOW ARE YOU FEELING ?

OH, I'M OKAY,

EXCEPT I'M A LITTLE WEAK.

CAN'T SEEM TO KEEP ANYTHING

IN MY STOMACH YET.

GUESS I HOISTED:

A FEW TOO MANY BEERS

THE OTHER NIGHT.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHA THE KANGAROOS ARE PUTTING

IN THE BREW NOWADAYS,

BUT I CAN SURE TELL YOU

WHAT IT TASTES LIKE.

WELL, YOU JUS TAKE IT EASY.

YEAH.

YOU'LL BE PERFECTLY OKAY.

DR. KING HERE

WILL LOOK AFTER YOU.

I'LL DO FINE.

ANY CHANCE THAT HE'S RIGHT ?

HE JUST HAD A FEW TOO MANY ?

NO, HE HAS THE FULL RANGE

OF SYMPTOMS.

IT'S RADIATION.

WELL, WHY--

WHY THIS ONE CASE

ALL OF THE SUDDEN ?

WHY ? WHY NOT ?

IT'S HERE.

IT HAD TO HIT SOMEBODY FIRST.

IT HIT THIS LAD.

WE'RE NOT MACHINES.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO FALL OVER

IN ROWS, YOU KNOW.

ANYTHING YOU CAN DO

FOR HIM ?

NO...

EXCEPT MAKE HIM:

AS COMFORTABLE:

AS POSSIBLE.

THIS THING IS COMING SOONER

THAN WE THOUGHT.

I'M A LITTLE

OFF BALANCE.

I'M TERRIBLY SORRY

IF IT'S INCONVENIENT,

BUT I'M AFRAIDICAN'T BE

HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT.

I NEVER PREDICTED

THE PRECISE DATE.

NO, I DON'T THINK

WE HAVE A FREAK CASE HERE,

COMMANDER.

I'VE BEEN GETTING VERY IRRITABLE

MYSELF, AS YOU CAN SEE.

[ Sighs ]

IT'S ONE OF THE FIRST SYMPTOMS.

???? [ Band ]

???? [ Stops ]

O LORD, GIVE US

THE STRENGTH.

HELP US TO UNDERSTAND THE REASON

FOR THIS MADNESS ON EARTH,

THE REASON WHY WE HAVE

DESTROYED OURSELVES.

GIVE US THE COURAGE

TO BEAR THY WILL,

AND WHEN THE END IS UPON US,

GIVE US THY HAND

AND SHOW US THE WAY...

THAT WE MAY BETTER UNDERSTAND

THAT ONLY YOU CAN GIVE...

AND ONLY YOU CAN TAKE AWAY.

FORGIVE THOSE OF US

WHO ARE WEAK,

AS WE FORGIVE EACH OTHER.

FOR JESUS' SAKE. AMEN.

[ Man ]

SIMPSON, JOHN.

JONES:
NORMAN, MOLLY,

KENNETH AND KIM.

[ Horse Approaching ]

DICKSON, GEORGE AND LOLA.

[ Knocking On Window ]

YOU ALL KNOW THE SITUATION.

I'VE GIVEN LEAVE

TO MANY OF YOU, TO STAY HERE

FOR PERSONAL REASONS.

IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE WHY SOME

OF YOU MIGHT PREFER THIS.

I THINK THAT THE REST OF YOU

ARE ENTITLED TO DECIDE

WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO DO.

I'D LIKE YOU

TO THINK ABOUT IT.

TAKE A VOTE IF YOU NEED TO.

GIVE ME YOUR DECISION

BY THIS EVENING.

I THINK THAT'S ALL.

CAPTAIN.

WE'VE ALREADY TAKEN A VOTE.

WE'D LIKE TO HEAD FOR HOME.

[ Buzzing ]

JUST GIVE IT TO ME STRAIGHT.

HOW MUCH LONGER ?

WE'RE 15 POINTS

IN THE RED.

UP THREE AND A HALF

SINCE LAST NIGHT.

[ Continues Buzzing ]

[ Turns Off Instrument,

Buzzing Stops ]

I SUPPOSE YOU'VE HEARD

ABOUT MARY.

NO. WHAT ?

QUITE IRRATIONAL.

PETER CAME IN SUNDAY

TO FIND HER PACKING

FOR A TRIP BACK TO ENGLAND,

TAKING JENNIFER.

I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.

SHE'S A BIT CALMER NOW,

DOCTOR AND ALL THAT.

DWIGHT ?

YES ?

WHAT ABOUT MOIRA ?

I WANT TO STAY WITH HER

RIGHT TO THE END,

BUT I HAD TO LEAVE I TO THE MEN.

WE'RE GOING.

OH.

WHEN DO YOU LEAVE ?

IN A DAY,

TWO AT THE MOST.

YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE

THAT MUCH TIME.

YES, I KNOW.

I'VE GOT TO SEE HER

RIGHT AWAY.

SO LONG, JULIAN.

GOD BLESS.

HOSGOOD ?

HOSGOOD ?

YES, SIR ?

IT LOOKS AS IF:

WE'VE HAD IT, HOSGOOD.

WOULD YOU LIKE SHORE LEAVE

OR ARE YOU STAYING ABOARD ?

I'M REMAINING ABOARD, SIR.

WOULD YOU HAVE A GLASS

OF SHERRY WITH AN OLD MAN ?

NO, SIR,

BUT I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE

TO HAVE ONE WITH YOU...

SIR.

THERE'S ONE THING THA ALWAYS BOTHERED ME, HOSGOOD.

A GIRL LIKE YOU--

WHY NO YOUNG MEN ?

THEY NEVER ASKED ME.

I GUESS MAYBE:

IT WAS THE UNIFORM.

[ Glasses Clink ]

TO A BLIND...

BLIND WORLD.

[ Jennifer Crying ]

[ Crying Continues ]

I THINK I CAN GET MRS. ANDREWS

TO HELP ME OUT WITH JENNIFER.

[ Crying ]

YES, BUT IF YOU NEED ANYTHING,

YOU'D BETTER CALL ME.

I'M SURE SHE'LL BE ALL RIGHT,

BUT I WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING

I COULD DO FOR MARY.

[ Phone Ringing,

Jennifer Cooing ]

MARY. MARY.

[ Cooing

Continues ]

MOIRA, IT'S FOR YOU.

HELLO. DWIGHT.

OH, YES, I'LL BE THERE !

RIGHT AWAY, DWIGHT !

I'LL BE THERE !

[ Tosses Screwdriver ]

[ Starts Engine ]

[ Revving Engine ]

[ Engine Idling ]

MOIRA !

OH, YOU'RE NOT GOING.

YOU'RE STAYING.

YOU'RE STAYING.

NO.

I'M GOING.

BUT THESAWFISH--

JUST ACROSS THE BAY...

AT THE FUEL DEPOT.

THE MEN WANT TO TRY

TO GET HOME.

I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.

THEN I SUPPOSE THAT...

THE TIME HAS COME TO SAY,

"IT'S BEEN NICE,

DWIGHT LIONEL.

IT'S BEEN EVERYTHING."

OH, DWIGHT,

I'M SO FRIGHTENED.

[ Crying ]

I KNOW.

I'M SO SORRY

FOR SO MANY THINGS.

I LOVE YOU, MOIRA.

I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU.

MARY.

MARY.

I LOVE YOU.

DID YOU SAY SOMETHING,

PETER ?

I DIDN'T HEAR.

I SAID, "I LOVE YOU."

I-I FEEL SO STRANGE.

YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME

WE EVER MET ?

[ Chuckles ]

IT WAS ON THE BEACH.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE

EVERYTHING I'D EVER

DREAMED ABOUT,

EVERYTHING:

I EVER WANTED.

I THOUGH YOU WERE SO UNDERFED.

EVERY DAY AFTER THAT,

I WENT TO THE BEACH,

BUT YOU WERE:

NEVER THERE.

I HAD THE FLU.

MY MOTHER MADE ME

STAY AT HOME.

I LOOKED FOR YOU.

[ Laughs ]

I LOOKED FOR YOU SO.

DID YOU SUFFER HORRIBLY ?

[ Laughing ]

OH, MARY,

YOU'LL NEVER KNOW.

DID YOU REALLY ?

I THOUGHT I COULDN'T BEAR I IF I DIDN'T SEE YOU AGAIN.

I'D ABOUT GIVEN UP HOPE,

BUT ONE DAY...

THERE YOU WERE.

NOW IT'S ALL OVER,

ISN'T IT ?

MM-HMM, IT'S ALL OVER.

AND I WANT YOU:

TO KNOW...

THAT I COULD NEVER HAVE

BEEN HAPPY WITH ANYONE

IN THE WORLD BUT YOU.

I'VE LOVED YOU, PETER.

I'VE BEEN FOOLISH,

AND I HAVEN' BEEN PRACTICAL,

BUT I'VE LOVED YOU SO MUCH.

SO MUCH.

WE'VE BEEN HAPPY

AND FORTUNATE.

AND JENNIFER--

SHE'LL NEVER

HAVE THE CHANCE.

SHE'LL NEVER KNOW

WHAT LOVE IS.

PETER, PETER,

YOU'LL SEE THAT SHE'S--

I WILL, I WILL.

[ Softly ]

DARLING--

[ Softly ]

GOD !

GOD FORGIVE US.

PETER...

I THINK I'LL HAVE

THAT CUP OF TEA NOW.
