- You fancy him.

I don't think so.

[Laughs]

The three of us are going to be

stuck in a car together for three weeks,

and it'll be trying enough without

"is it me, or is he being weird today?"

Lt'd drive me barmy.

Yeah. You're right.

He is cute, though.

Do you think he's really got

a girlfriend in Sydney?

Why would he lie?

He's a bloke.

[Chuckles]

I can't believe we're leaving.

I know.

It feels like two years,

not two weeks.

[Horn blaring]

[Male] Whoo!

[Tires screech]

Wow!

- Want a lift?

- [Woman] I'd love it.

I thought I requested purple.

Eh. For 1,500 bucks

we're lucky it's got doors.

I love it.

Hey, where's my stuff?

We forgot about food for you. Sorry.

Yeah, we thought you'd get by

on our gratitude and appreciation.

[Laughs sarcastically]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where's the booze?

Oh, we've made a decision.

After last night,

never drinking again.

We've got to get an early start

if we want to get to Wolf Oreek

by tomorrow night.

Mm-hmm.

Piss off. Of course I checked.

[Chuckles] How much

of an organization Nazi is she?

No, she's right. In bed by 9:30.

[All cheering]

[Dance music]

[Woman 1] This is bad, actually.

Oh!

[Woman 1] You weren't gonna drink that.

Is that your beer?

- Patrick. Pleased to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

That's a pretty nice handshake there.

Let's give it a kiss.

Lovely, lovely.

- I can pack a punch.

- You can pack a punch?

Why would you want that?

- I would if I had to.

- [Patrick] If you had to? [laughs]

You gotta hear this bullshit story.

Bullshit! It wasn't bullshit!

[Shouting]

Ten foot wave sprayin'.

Shh! Shh!

[Laughter]

[Cheering]

[Dance music continues]

Go on!

I think it's past 9:30.

[All laughing]

[Birds chirping]

[Birds chirping]

[Clinking, rattling]

[Sighs]

I got the worst taste in my mouth.

[Laughs]

[Chattering indistinctly]

[# Daddy Oool:
Eagle Rock]

[Guitar playing]

# I'd like to sing a song for you

[stops playing]

- OK, let me start again.

- [Laughs]

Here we go.

[Plays new song]

- # I love her

- Oh, God.

# I really, really love her

[laughing]

# Make me smile all the time

# When you cook my food

and you clean my room

# I love you, Mum

I love you, Mum

[both women]

# He's been playing guitar

# For a few weeks now

[woman 1] # And he's really,

really, really crap

[woman 2] # And he's crap

[woman 1] # Really sh*t

[male] # I'm not that bad

[woman 1] Oh, my God!

[Male] Yeah, that's cool.

That's amazing.

You're near the world's

fifth biggest UFO sighting area.

- [Male] Kristy, I'm serious.

- I know!

- [Male] I can hear you laughing.

- What? I'm listening.

Fine.

- [Woman 1] I'm listening.

- [Kristy] Tell us.

Don't listen to her.

Tell me. I'm listening.

All right. I read about this guy

who was driving out

on the highway out there.

And he sees this light ahead of him,

around 500 meters,

and at first he thinks it's a truck

or a semi-trailer or something,

'cause the light's really bright,

like glowing orange and sh*t.

- Yeah.

- But as he gets closer,

he realizes that the light's

about 10 meters off the ground,

just hanging in mid-air.

So he's scared, freaking out.

And then he hears this... crack!

Like an explosion.

- That was supposed to scare us.

- I know, it's scary.

But he did. He heard this crack.

Like an explosion of a jet.

And itjust took off into the sky,

straight up like a rocket.

And then as soon as it was gone,

his carjust stopped

in the middle of the road,

and it was totally silent.

He was just sitting there,

staring up at the stars.

In the middle of nowhere.

- Hey...

- No reason. Just stopped.

- Is that a true story?

- I read it.

You've got something

dripping off your lip there.

What?

Oh, it's all right.

It's just bullshit.

- No, bullshit you, mate!

- [Laughs]

[Male laughs]

What's all this sh*t?

- Oh, for the tent.

- For the tent.

- Here, I'll do that. Start on the tent.

- No, you do the tent.

I don't know what you two

would do without me.

[Laughs]

- I didn't finish that.

- Oh, sorry.

- This is it.

- I finished it for you.

- What?

- I didn't know what to do!

- All right?

- [Male] Yep.

[Dog whines]

Now we just got a six-hour drive.

Who's driving first?

- Oh!

- Who's driving first?

I don't know.

I'll go in the back.

- Is that all right with you?

- Yeah.

- I'll go in the back.

- Do you want to drive?

[Squawking]

[Car speeding]

[Woman 1] We're here, guys.

- [Male laughs]

- [Engine turns off]

Well, well, well.

Hey, um, can I have the keys?

[Laughs]

Oh, it's OK, you two. I've got it.

Thanks. No problems, guys.

[Insect buzzing]

[Whispering] How's the hair?

Day one. Captain's log.

So far, no sign

of intelligent life forms.

Starting to doubt... Hey.

- Howdy.

- Howdy.

[Male] Um, do you wanna say hello?

- Hello.

- [Chuckles]

Righto. What's your name?

- Graham.

- Graham.

Nice to meet you, Graham.

I'm Ben.

- This one too?

- Yeah, man.

[Buzzing continues]

I think someone's got a crush on you.

Yeah, the attendant. I thought so.

- No.

- Graham.

- Uh-uh.

- Uh-uh.

I'm getting the feeling it's mutual.

Am I wrong?

[Chuckles]

You know it's true!

- Do you mind?

- You do!

I think it's absolutely fabulous.

[Sighs]

But don't go dicking her around,

because she's totally brilliant.

If you hurt her,

I'm going to have to kill you.

So my advice is that we have

an awesome time together.

You sort out whatever it is

going on between you and this

so-called girlfriend

you've allegedly got.

By the time we get to Oairns, we'll

find some freakishly hot man for me,

and we'll all, you know,

go crazy together, all right?

All right. [chuckles]

She's only a little one, isn't she?

I reckon I could break that

in half real quickly, eh?

Youse two'd be watching me.

[Muttering indistinctly]

- Here comes yours now, mate.

- [Men laugh]

What a place, huh?

Hey, uh... Hey, mate. Oi.

Oi. Hey, come here.

I got a question for ya.

All right. You keep that.

How're you going?

Hey, uh...

Me and me mates are gonna see

if your girlfriends would be interested

in a little bit of a gang bang.
