Paper Planes

...test cricket, and the first ball

of the day from Gillies.

Dylan!

Dylan!

Dylan!

I know this vibe is true

There is hope for love

There is beauty in the world

Oh

Beauty in the world

So much beauty in the world

Always beauty in the world

So much beauty

in the world

When I look around,

I see blue skies

I see butterflies for us

- Listen to the sound...

- Clive!

And lose it

- It's sweet music...

- Clive!

And dance with me

And dance with me

There is beauty in the world

So much beauty in the world

Pick your diamond

Pick your pearl

There is beauty in the world

Heya

Throw your hands up and holler

Heya

- Throw your hands up and...

- Whoa.

When you don't know

what to do

Don't know

if you'll make it through

Remember God has given you

Beauty in the world

Oh, Lord...

See ya later.

Yeah, love

Oh, Lord

Pick your diamond

Pick your pearl

There is beauty in the world

Hey

Hey, baby,

when I'm looking at you now

I know it's fact, it's true

There is hope for love

There is beauty

in the world.

Hey, Dylan. Nice phone.

You expecting a call from 1997?

- Make it stop! Make it stop!

- Seriously?

Good morning, everybody.

You know the drill.

It's sombrero time.

All devices in the Sombrero of Joy.

Ay-Kay-Kay-Kay-Kay-Kay!

Thank you, senoras.

Are you well this morning,

everybody?

Everyone well, are they?

Thank you very much.

Kevin. Payload, please.

Thank you, Kevin.

- Wait.

- Here we go.

- Yeah.

- Thank you. Anything else?

- Thought there might be.

- Yeah.

- Game Boy. That's old-school.

- And that.

- There's probably a couple more.

- Oh, sorry. Got one more.

One more phone.

Everyone needs two.

Are we done? At least you're

reading your books, which is...

Oh.

Thank you very much.

Uh, everybody...

This morning,

we shall start with a pop quiz.

Psyched!

We're actually

gonna have some fun today.

I have a student teacher here

from Melbourne.

Please, everyone,

say hello to Jethro.

- Hi, Jethro.

- Hi, kids.

We're gonna head to the hall.

Everyone out of your chairs.

We'll make our way quietly.

Today, I'm going to teach you

how to make

the perfect paper plane.

Alright, so, first time, we're gonna

make it however you want.

You can do it your own design,

whatever you like.

We'll just pass these around.

Pass those around. There you go.

Then I'll teach you some tips

a bit later.

So who's gonna make

the best paper plane?

I'm gonna make

the best paper plane.

- Not me.

- Not you? Come on!

Where's your confidence?

So how far do people think

they can get their planes?

- 10 metres? Five metres?

- 50.

50? You're dreaming.

The distance world record

for a paper plane is 69.13 metres.

- Whoof!

- That's a long way.

To even qualify

for the junior championship,

you need to hit at least 25 metres,

which would mean

it'd have to go over that wall

and halfway down the veranda.

Does anyone reckon

they could do that?

- We could do that.

- Get it past that wall?

- We could do that.

- You could do that?

- Yes!

- We'll see.

- I know how we'll do it.

- Alright.

If you're finished,

hold up your paper plane.

Oh, there's some good ones

in there.

Pretty good. Alright!

Get up. Let's do it.

- Everyone up.

- Let's go, people. Come on.

Come on.

Move the chairs.

We're gonna see

who can go the furthest.

Alright,

let me see your planes.

Good. Good. Oh, that's good.

Interesting. Nice.

Nice. All ready?

Ready to launch?

On my count.

One, two, three!

- Whoa!

- Whoa, Dylan!

Amazing!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Guys, come on!

- Let's go!

- Come on!

Oh, come back!

That's incredible.

- What's your name, mate?

- Uh, Dylan Webber.

- It's over there!

- I can't see.

Thought about making a career

out of this?

- Making paper planes?

- Yeah.

Dad!

Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad,

Dad, Dad, Dad.

- Guess what.

- What?

If I can make a paper plane

fly 25 metres

in the state competition

on Sunday,

I can make it to the Aussie

junior championships in Sydney.

It'll be really fun, and we can

practise on the weekends.

- I've already got a bit of a...

- I'm sorry, what...? What?

- What?

- You didn't go to work today, did you?

You've just gotta lift.

OK. I know.

Yeah.

Ah!

Lifted.

Now. Tell me more

about your paper plane.

Tell me about the 25 metres.

- If I can make a paper plane fly 25 metres...

- Yeah?

..I might just

get a chance to compete

in the Aussie junior championships

in Sydney.

- Will it?

- Oh, it already did.

This was, of course, before

the landing, which was a bit...

You think?

Personally, I think it's the way

that you fold the paper.

Pinching it, just...

to make that crease.

How do you know all this?

Like, the...the creases

and the folding and the...

- Huh?

- Mom taught me.

What are we gonna

have for dinner?

I don't know.

What do you want?

I don't mind. Oh.

How does this sound

for a plan?

Your favourite.

Nine, eight.

We can't wait.

Seven, six.

Dylan's got tricks.

Five, four.

Fly through the door!

Three, two, one. OK.

- Let's get this party started.

- Yep.

- Rocking is about to commence.

- Great.

- Alright.

- Here we go.

Well, that was embarrassing.

Again.

Again.

Again.

Again.

Again!

You've got no idea

how irritating

that 'again' thing is,

by the way.

Again.

- What do I do?

- You figure it out.

That's not really helpful advice

from a teacher.

Well, as your teacher,

I'm telling you

to use your brain

and figure it out.

I'm about to rub out

section three.

- Are we finished it?

- Yep.

Brilliant!

This is how I make

a piece of paper fly 25 metres.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Try not to be annoying

your whole life, Kevin.

Back on your chair, mate.

Right. Where were we?

- So lovely to see you again.

- Thank you. My pleasure.

Grandpa! Hi.

- Oh. Hello.

- Oh! Dylan!

How you going, mate?

Who was that lady, Grandpa?

She's just an old friend,

that's all.

I was just...

just helping her out.

Well, must have done

a fine job,

because she looks

pretty happy.

It's important to have pride

in your work.

So my plane flew over 50 metres

first time.

It didn't go anywhere close

the next.

You...you were a...

you were a pilot.

Do you have...any ideas?

Well, maybe we can fashion

some sort of a small engine

and fix it to the airframe.

You know, I'm actually pretty sure

you can't do that.

We could make it very small

so's...so no-one'd notice.

I believe they call that...

cheating.

Course, I only had experience,

you know,

flying powered aircraft.

That was during the war. So...

There's only one thing

for it, mate.

You'll have to put

your thinking cap on.

Right. Well, that's

what my teacher said as well.

Anyway. This is me, then.

- Hello, Beryl.

- Hello.

You gonna...help her out too?

Thanks for dropping by, kiddo.

- Wake up!

- What?

- What, what, what?

- Come on.

- What?

- Come on!

What? What?

What? What? What?

I've got an idea.

You know, I can transfer those

to a DVD or a...a flash drive.

What, you gonna try and drag me
