Reckless Kelly

---

Look at the sun

Falling from the sky

Look at the sunset

Takes my mind

Back

To my homeland

Far away

It's the story

It's the story

Runnin' in my mind

It's so clear

It's so clear

I remember

I remember

Oh, my

Oh, my

Oh, my

Oh, my

Sunset gleaming

Hey

Hey, people

Can you dig what I say?

Our land

Our land

Hear what I say

Hear what I say

To the people

Of the land

Try my

Try my

Try my

Sunset, baby

The Kelly Gang had been

holding up banks

for as long as, well, for as

long as there'd been banks.

Historically, we were

the World's First Biker Gang.

What really set us apart

from all the other outlaws

was our philosophy.

We always gave everything

we stole to the poor.

My uncle Dan had been the

most notorious aboriginal outlaw

of all time,

until he retired to run the family pub.

My brother job was

the Gang's tax expert,

and the rest of the Gang

worked full-time

in the manufacture

and consumption of beer.

Come on, Ned.

You're be late for work.

Wild thing

You make my heart sing...

Yep.

Times has changed, all right.

The entire bank-robbing division

of the once world-famous Kelly Gang

had been reduced to just one man...

me.

Oh

Wild thing

You make my heart sing, yeah...

We lived in this wild pub.

It was so old that no one was sure

if it was actually built

or just somehow

grew out of the ground.

Over the years, it has become home

to every kind of wildlife

you can imagine.

Wild thing

Wild thing

Apart from my dog,

my bike was my best mate.

I personally built it

from the wheels up

out of scrap metal.

Sure, it had some

minor structural problems.

It wasn't exactly mechanically perfect,

but everyone respected it.

Especially Joe.

Morning, Dan.

Morning, Ned.

It is refueled.

Thanks, Joe.

You still haven't fixed

that leaking pump.

Have now.

Ooh!

See yourself.

Our pub was on the shore

of a national park,

hundreds of miles from anywhere.

I reckon it was as close to paradise

as you can get.

Riding to work that day,

nothing seemed different

from any other day.

At least that's what

I thought at the time.

Good morning.

I'd like to make a withdrawal.

It's a .44.

Check out the d*ckhead

talking to a machine.

That's no d*ckhead.

That's Ned Kelly.

Oh, yeah!

I don't think so.

Ouch. Computer malfunction.

Bingo.

This is the Kelly Gang...

And I'd like to make a deposit.

Deposit?

Yeah. Deposit this money

amongst the bank accounts of any

people who can't repay their loans.

And I want receipts,

and I want 'em now.

Oui. Oui.

I will get all the staff onto it.

All officers, take your positions.

It was then I heard something

you rarely hear in the

middle of a bank robbery...

Shakespeare.

"If music be the food of love,

play on. Give me excess of it."

"If music be the food of love..."

And who are you?

Robin Banks.

I was earlier. Now I'm depositin'.

This is my lunch break.

I love american accents.

Excuse me.

I like the way you talk.

In fact, I like everything

about America.

What you reading?

Shakespeare.

I hate flies.

Mr. Kelly, all the people's receipts.

Thanks, mate.

This time he's trapped.

Hey...

maybe I'll see you later.

I doubt it, cowboy.

Bye, Ned.

Wait for it.

What's the matter, boys?

Robbin' people with a six-gun

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

I needed money 'cause

I had none

I fought the law, and the

Law won

I fought the law

And the law won

I left my baby, and I feel so bad

I guess my race is run

She's the best girl that I ever had

I fought the law, and the law won

I fought the law, and the--

I lost my girl, and I lost my fun

I fought the law, and the law won

I fought the law, and the law won

I fought the law, and the law won

Hey, I fought the law,

and the law won

I fought the law, and the law won

After him!

I fought the law, and the law won

I said I fought the law...

Of course,

I didn't know it at the time,

but I'd just triggered

off a chain of events

that was to threaten

the very existence

of the Kelly Gang.

"...cannot see the pretty fall

leaves that themselves commit,

or if they could,

Cupid himself would blush."

The outlaw

dropped this.

Take it to Sir John's office immediately.

Ned Kelly has robbed

yet another branch

of the International Trust Bank,

but this time his target

was head office.

The bank's largest foreign investors

have responded by

threatening to pack up

and go home.

However, locals are

reacting quite differently.

Ned Kelly's deadly. He's great.

He's wonderful.

He's fabulous.

He gives us the cash.

He's got a great bike.

Since Ned Kelly has

been depositing money

in our bank account,

I can afford more groceries.

Look.

Through the haphazard program

of redistributing money,

the Kelly Gang has effectively

lowered interest rates, cut inflation,

and raised the standard of living

for the average family.

Rotten bastards.

It's been Ned Kelly's complete

disregard for authority

that has captured

the Hearts of the People

and made him something

of a national hero.

Yes?

Sir John, one of our young tellers

has some information

regarding the robbery.

What is it?

Apparently this was

dropped during the holdup.

Oh, Sir John.

There's also a Major Wib

here to see you.

Yes. Come in.

Major Wib from Great Britain, sir.

Formerly of Her Majesty's

personal guards.

Five years Scotland Yard,

three years Royal British Commandos.

Served with distinction special

forces-- intelligence branch.

At your service,

Vis-a-vis the Kelly problem.

That's very impressive, Major.

Thank you, Sir John.

I had the pleasure of being

on duty at Buckingham Palace

the day you got your knighthood.

Oh, really?

Yes. Rah-rah poo-poo, sir.

It's about time we had a man

of your particular talents

working exclusively for us

in the field of corporate banking.

If you'll pardon the pun, sir,

I plan to make a killing.

Thank you. That'll be all.

Please, Major.

Now, what do you make of this?

It's a toweling mat,

commonly used on the top

of Australian hotel bars

for the absorption of beer spillage.

Looks like some sort of a rodent.

Is it a rat?

It's a kangaroo, sir.

The Glenrowan Hotel.

It's in a national park

called Reckless Island.

No wonder the police

can't track them down.

According to this, it's

a remote wilderness.

Kelly would know that island

like the back of his hand.

At the first sign of armed aggression,

he'd vanish into the bush

and pick us off like flies.

Yes, you're right.

Major, the one thing

you'll learn in business

is that almost anything

can be achieved

by having good political connections.

Miss Twisty, draft a confidential fax

to the department of national parks.

Tell them that the bank will be acting

as the Sole Agent for the

sale of Reckless Island.

Right away, Sir John.

You can't sell a national park.

Wib?

I'm going to turn Kelly's hideout

into a... japanese tourist resort.

Met down by the jetty landing
