Red Dog Page #2

I'm gonna turn around

Gonna turn around once

and we'll do the Eagle Rock

Whoa, mamma

Oh, your rocking swell

Hmm, yeah, you do it so well

Well, we do it so well

when we do the Eagle Rock

Mamma, oh!

Yeah, you're rocking fine

Why don't you give me a sign?

Hmm, just give me a sign

and we'll do the Eagle Rock

Hey, hey, hey

Good old Eagle Rock's

here to stay

I'm just crazy

'bout the way we move

Doing the Eagle Rock...

Good morning.

Bloody Americans.

Hey!

- Did you see that?

- Red Dog.

- He almost got run over.

- Nah, he was hitchhiking, mate.

That was hitchhiking?

Once you pick him up,

he remembers

and thinks it's his right

to demand a ride any time.

Pushy bloke,

no doubt about it.

What? He only does that

to people that he knows?

Of course not.

Just the ones he likes.

You can

climb a mountain

You can swim a sea

You can jump into the fire

But you'll never be free...

You can shake me up

Or I can break you down

Whoa, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Whoa, oh-oh, oh-oh...

Hey, what do you think

you're doing?!

Go on, get off my bike.

Go on, go on. Get!

The world

is a funny place, no?

Sometimes you pick your dog.

Sometimes your dog picks you.

Our love is alive

And so we begin

Foolishly laying

our hearts on the table

Stumblin' in

Our love is a flame

Burning within...

No dogs on the bus.

Stumblin' in

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

You know these reckless

thoughts of mine

Are following you

I've fallen for you

Whatever you do

'Cause, baby,

you've shown me so many things

That I never knew

Whatever it takes

Baby, I'll do it for you...

All the sad faces in the world

won't work,

so you can just stop.

Foolishly laying

our hearts on the table

Stumblin' in

Our love is a flame

Burning within

Now and then

firelight will catch us

Stumblin' in...

- Ready?

- OK, five.

In for five.

Ready? Quiet!

Go!

Eat, eat,

eat, eat, eat, eat, eat!

9.2 seconds! A new world record!

No!

Oh-ho-ho!

What's next? What's next?

- Something harder!

- Give him the meat tray!

A chicken!

Why wouldn't he eat a chicken?

Alive chicken!

Enough!

I won't let Red Dog eat alive

chicken for your sick amusement.

What's it to you, huh?

It's not your dog.

No chicken, mate.

- Says who?

- I do.

Ooh!

Fight, fight, fight,

fight, fight, fight!

OK, OK!

No chicken, no chicken.

Red Dog, come!

Huh?

Come on, boy.

We ride together now.

And from that day on

Red Dog had a master...

the only master

he would ever have.

Hey, but enough said

about that.

Hey, quiet! Quiet! Shh!

Turn the jukebox off.

Uh... to tell you the truth,

I should put him down.

But he's a strong old dog

and God knows

he deserves a last fight

so I've given him some

anticonvulsants,

he's resting easier.

We wait. Hopefully, he'll

make it through the night.

Come on, Red Dog.

Poor Red.

What are we gonna

do with you, huh?

- A shame, that is.

- Yeah.

There's a lot

of history there, you know,

with Nancy, John, Red Dog.

Down!

Bad dog!

You'll never get him

out of there, Miss.

No-one sit there

when Red sit there.

Ohh!

Well, aren't you

a charmer, huh?

Stop that!

Bad dog!

Hang on, Miss. Hang on!

Ever since he became

a union member

he thinks he's got rights.

I'm not moving, so you'll

just have to put up with me.

Stop that! Now, be

a gentleman and move over!

- Now!

- Ooh.

- Hello.

- Hello.

You're sharing a seat

with my dog.

Yes, I am.

Wow.

So, what will you be

doing at Hamersley, Nancy?

A secretary.

Quite a change from Perth.

An adventure, to be sure.

That's a good way

to look at it, an adventure.

- Is alright yet?

- Don't wanna be too late.

Give it another minute or two

to air out, boys.

Wouldn't want anyone

to get sick from the fumes.

So, Nancy, there's a new movie

playing at the open-air.

Would you like

to come and see it?

What's it about?

Uh, I can't remember.

Alright, then.

- Still 'rip'.

- 'Ripe'?

Yes, the rip is very ripe.

Oh, yeah?

Hi, John.

Uh, I need to borrow the wagon

so I can take the new girl

to the movies.

What makes you think

that she'd be interested

in a skinny

little Yank like you

when she's got us

proper blokes around?

I bathe.

Also, do you think

you could watch Red?

I think he's a touch...

J-E-A-L-O-U-S.

J-E-what?

- Jealous.

- Oh! Huh?

Pfft! No troubles.

We'll have

a right party, we will.

- Won't we, Red?

- Thanks, Peet. See ya, Red.

Get ready to get wild.

Jeepers, creepers

Where'd you get

those peepers?

Jeepers, creepers

Where'd you get those eyes?

This one's a beauty.

It's called

the fisherman's rib.

Lovely, don't you think?

You play your cards right

and I can make you

a sweater with four legs.

Love is me

Got to put my cheaters on

Jeepers, creepers...

Where do you think

you're going?

Ohh...

Yo!

We're going to the pub.

I can't...

I'm watching Red Dog

for Johnny boy.

What is in his mouth?

Hey! Give me that.

Bring back my bloody yarn!

Red! Red!

Hello, kitty.

Whoa.

Hey, hey. Go on, take off.

Red Cat was

an horrendous animal, no?

He was... how do you say?

A destroyer of many pooches.

Hey, what are you

doing to my cat?

Nothing. I...

What's going on?

Oh, this cat tried to attack me.

It must smell Red Dog on me.

Visitors have to park

on the road. It's a rule.

Sorry, Mr. Cribbage.

Rules are rules, Miss Grey.

With all the riffraff

the company's hiring

it's only rules that

separate us from the animals.

Goodnight, Mr. Cribbage.

He's the caretaker of the park.

I'm trying not to get

on his bad side.

Does he have a good side?

- There you are.

- Thank you.

Turn your bloody

lights off, ya nongs!

Shh!

Oh, geez!

Ohh!

Oi! I can't see!

What the hell is that?

Hide, it's my dog.

Ohh!

You, dog, be needing an ed-u-cation.

Hey, can I show you something?

Careful.

So a few years back,

this old dude, Jumbo Smelt,

was swimming right out there

and he got attacked

by a great white.

Bit him in the leg

and pulled him under.

- Did he die?

- No, no.

The shark spat him out,

didn't like the way he tasted.

Not a surprise

if you knew Jumbo.

It took 73 stitches to get

his leg sewed back together.

That's awful.

Hey, no-one swims

out there anymore.

Most days you can still see the

shark swimming back and forth.

He's been spotted so often

the boys have given him a name.

- Mmm?

- Lord Nelson.

I don't

see anything.

Maybe we should

go out a bit deeper.

- What's that?

- What?!

- Nothing.

- It's not funny!

Maybe he's asleep.

Sharks don't sleep.

They have to keep moving,

just like you,

Mister Never Lived More Than

Two Years in the Same Place.

- Are you calling me a shark?

- Maybe.

Nah, you got me wrong.

Moving is part

of my romantic nature.

Hmm.

You're just scared.

Scared? Of what?

Of finding something worth

staying in one place for.

I left

the keys in the car

I left the door ajar

I didn't want to be alone

These are the days

and the nights

At these sweet

humbling heights
