Don't hurt him, Bosun!

Hi.

Hi.

Care to dance?

Can't, sorry. I've got the baby.

I'll take the baby.

Would you? Oh, super!

This is my husband.

Hi, Brownie Hansen.

This is my girl, Lola Lovell.

Lyle and Mavis Blackmore.

Even though it's not our place -

we're squatters.

Are you?

We found it empty and moved in.

Wish we could do that.

Take one of these rooms.

There's loads of space.

Come on.

Oh, I don't know.

Alright.

Thanks.

Oh, super!

They aren't supposed to sit up

till they get teeth.

About ten months.

How do you know this stuff?

From baby books.

I'll try this.

She won't like vegetables yet.

Made our nation great.

Here we go.

Mmm!

Do you wanna have kids?

I nearly had one.

I had an abortion.

Your mother?

Yeah, I should have fought harder.

Well, they cut out Sharon Faylene

after five days labour.

Why?

Somethin' wrong with me plumbin'.

The doctor said, "Make yer husband

sleep on the roof."

Don't call my name

It makes me feel so ashamed

I've lost my sweet helping hand

I've got myself to blame

Only lived a very fine life

I ain't never done no wrong.

Oh!

Wait a minute.

What happened?

So we won't have kids.

What the hell is this?

Aah, very interesting.

Give me it!

Obviously, I'm the responsible one.

Well, obviously.

Brownie!

Bosun said it's a three-month cruise.

I can make some good money.

We need money - we're broke.

Three months?

It's not so long.

What about us?

Isn't this what we always dreamed of?

Yeah, but...

But now you're bored and restless.

You want to get away.

Not from you.

Lola, I love you as much

as I've ever loved you,

but without money we're fair game

for the cops and anyone else.

I don't want that.

I just want to provide for us.

That's important to me.

When?

It sails in a week.

So make love to me.

Fact is, sailor's not meant

for the domestic life.

Too hard on the women.

Believe me, I tried.

Had me the perfect woman

in Singapore.

Rich, beautiful, great cook

and she could sing like an angel.

Need some money?

Four beers and two shandies.

She meant a lot to you?

Yes.

Why didn't you stay with her, then?

Too comfortable.

Not the kind of life I was cut out for.

You understand?

Yeah, I think I do.

Last drinks! We're closing up!

Cops. Cops.

What's the matter with you, pal?

Let's go for a walk together.

Whatever you want, love.

Uh-oh. Come on.

Cops.

Hey! Hey you!

Run!

Hey!

Come on!

Ugh!

Got something to be afraid of?

Under-age drinking, perhaps?

We're going home.

Don't choke me!

Got any money?

If not, you're breaking the law,

kids your age.

Let's see that bank book.

Look, I realise we're empty right now,

but I'm shipping out next week.

I can get...

That won't be necessary. Come on.

I can walk, you bastard!

Prove it!

I saw that!

Maybe you did!

Brownie!

Who's gonna believe you?!

What you do at sea

is your business.

On land, you must show that

you can support yourself.

Breaking this law, I fine you L10.

Furthermore, I order you not to attempt to

see Lola Lovell for 12 months.

Dismissed.

Brownie!

Hold it, girlie!

Come on. Settle down.

They just want to say goodbye!

Get off me!

Let me go!

Brownie! Brownie!

Back off, will you?

I'll look after him, OK?

Normally, for a first offence,

I would fine you.

However, your mother claims

that you are uncontrollable.

I therefore order you to be sent

to a State-approved house of care

for at least 12 months detention.

You are ordered not to contact or see

Brownie Olaf Hansen within that time.

Dismissed.

When my own baby died,

I decided to devote my life

to unwanted girls.

I've been aunty to two generations

of poor unfortunates.

I tell them how much happier

one can be in one's own home.

Eat up, dear.

We've got to fatten you up.

Ohhhh!

Can't it be a bit tighter?

No, dear. That's cheap.

Full is much smarter.

It'd be OK if I was pregnant.

Oh, my!

That's the road to ruin.

I think we'll give you a home perm.

You'll feel like a new person.

I don't want to.

Most girls do,

to feel they belong to someone.

That's why you use that bleach.

What did you say?

Girls live for men, for sex.

It's their downfall.

I'll try and remember that.

You can't tell me you actually enjoy it.

Actually, I enjoy sex a lot.

Love it with Brownie.

Stop it.

Love him pulling off his shirt.

Then he pulls off mine

and I feel his muscles.

Then he kisses me.

My whole body feels it.

That's quite enough, Lola.

What I love most is the way

he looks when he's just about to...

Get to your room!

Look who's here!

Hello!

You are beautiful!

Where does she get her looks?

We heard from Brownie -

from San Francisco.

San Francisco!

Can I help you?

These are my friends,

Mavis, Lyle and Sharon.

Come in.

I'm sorry.

All visitors need court approval.

But they're friends.

While you are here, I choose your

friends. Give the baby to its mother.

Come on, darling.

Say goodbye to Aunty Lola.

How dare you?

They're my friends.

It's for your own good.

Otherwise you'll go to an institution

and restart your sentence.

Lola, where are you?

Can't I even sh*t in peace?

Lola!

"Dear Brownie,

I love you wherever you are.

"Please rescue me

from the above address.

"I'm in the hands

of a terrible woman,

"a doer of good deeds.

"Please excuse incoherence.

"I'm writing in the dunny in great haste -

the only place she can't watch me.

"I had so much to say.

"Now all I can think of is that

I love you and I'm frightened.

"For the first time ever

I'm really frightened.

"Please come back, my love.

"All I'll think of is you.

Lola."

There we go, Mrs Westbury.

Thanks, postie.

That's quite enough, Lola!

If you'd care to learn proper music,

I'd be happy to arrange it.

There's someone

I want you to meet.

Lola, this is Isobel -

one of my successes.

Pleased to meet you.

Not sure yet.

I sent her to the country.

Now she's married with

a beautiful little girl.

Sounds perfect.

You'd love Isobel's home.

Wall-to-wall carpet, Mixmaster,

electric stove, Hoover,

Westinghouse - it's all a credit

to how far she's come.

YOU deserve all the credit, Aunty.

She left here with

nothing but two frocks.

Aunty, I saw this marvellous dress.

I was tempted, but I bought

linoleum for the kitchen instead.

I'll get the mail.

You and Lola could become fine friends.

Sorry, love.

Nothing from him today.

Who?

The travelling feller.

Spain, Singapore, San Francisco.

Hope you're collecting the stamps.

Where are my letters from Brownie?

Excuse me?

What are you talking about?

You've stolen my mail!

What do you mean?

Cut the bull!

You've been keeping my letters.

Where are they?

I only know that they've been

disposed of for your own good.

Disposed of?

You've been throwing them away?

Tell me!

Or I'll smash every dish

in this prison!

Sit down!

What's it going to be, Aunty?

Brownie Hansen was instructed

to avoid contact with you.

My definition includes

written contact.

I was simply carrying out
