1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,720
I just got my first update,
live on the desk.
2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,240
MAN: On my hand.
3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,480
(RAPIDLY) Good morning! Dale
Jennings here with the latest news.
4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,200
Dire Straits have commenced their
Australian tour
5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:11,600
amidst a ticket-scalping
controversy,
6
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,000
with $27 seats fetching
up to four...
7
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,320
You could really have a future
calling horse races.
8
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:16,520
(LAUGHS) Chin up.
9
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:17,880
Fuck!
10
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,400
Hey, wasn't I...I thought I was
reading the Thatcher story.
11
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:21,720
There was a late change.
12
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,640
60 Minutes are sending
female reporters to war zones.
13
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,600
Well, try your luck there.
See if they'll take you.
14
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,120
Run-downs,
remove Helen Norville's name!
15
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:32,320
Hello?
16
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,320
PARAMEDIC: We want to get her
away from here,
17
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,760
away from any medication
she might have lying around.
18
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,720
I'm just going to do this and
then I'm gonna get out of here.
19
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,720
Well, you're welcome to stay.
Bit of a rest.
20
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,040
I will bring home some dinner
and we can come up with a plan.
21
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,160
Noelene, give me
Helen's home number.
22
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:50,880
But she's your place, isn't she?
23
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,640
What?
24
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,560
You know, I am a disaster,
but I'm also relentless.
25
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,240
And I'm loyal.
26
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,040
I reckon we can make you
a newsreader.
27
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,280
In position, please.
28
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,000
Stand by, control room.
29
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,160
OK, on my cue.
30
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:12,800
Rolling.
31
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,040
And action.
32
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,280
Well, after 75 years,
Halley's comet is returning
33
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,880
and Australia is being gripped
by comet fever.
34
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,000
So, join us Friday, 7:00pm
for Once in a Lifetime.
35
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,280
We look at the history,
the myths, the legends...
36
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,680
Uh, sorry, actually, Geoff,
it's proudly presented by Ansett.
37
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,680
And then you...
38
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,280
So, after you say
"Once in a lifetime"...
39
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,320
I know, I know.
..you go straight into the...
40
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:43,680
It's right there. Thank you.
41
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:48,680
Do you want to just use the autocue?
No, no. No, I'm fine.
42
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,400
Bloody sponsor.
43
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,600
Well, after 75 years,
Halley's comet is returning
44
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,080
and Australia is being gripped by
comet fever.
45
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,240
So join us Friday, 7:00pm
for Once in a Lifetime,
46
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,040
proudly presented by Ansett.
47
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,960
A look at the history,
the legends, the, uh...
48
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,280
The science of
this astronomical apparition.
49
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,800
Do you wanna have a look?
50
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,000
Damn it.
51
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:21,080
Well, after 75 years,
Halley's comet is returning
52
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,480
and Australia
is being gripped by comet fever.
53
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,760
So, tune in Friday, 7:00pm for...
54
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:32,800
Once in a Lifetime.
55
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,600
Proudly brought to you by Ansett.
56
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,720
A look at the myths,
the history and the science
57
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,640
of Halley's comet.
58
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:43,360
Don't miss it.
59
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,960
And what are your memories of 1910?
60
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,400
I was seven and she was five.
61
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,800
I remember it was so light,
almost like daytime.
62
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,240
All the dogs were barking.
Yes, we had to lock them inside.
63
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,120
Oh, our border collie
piddled on the rug.
64
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,160
And what did the comet
actually look like?
65
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,760
Well, there were all these sorts
of explosions coming out of it.
66
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,840
Weren't there? Like fireworks.
67
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,080
She was terrified.
I don't remember that.
68
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,400
Oh, you were, Ruth. You were
crying louder than the dogs.
69
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,720
I just remember it was so beautiful.
70
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,520
Look, thank you so much, ladies.
71
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,960
If you don't mind bearing with us,
72
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,480
we're just going to get a couple
of extra shots of my reaction.
73
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,840
OK?
74
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,400
So...you and Helen, hey?
75
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,040
When did that happen?
76
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,240
What?
She bit of a goer?
77
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,280
I reckon she would be for sure.
78
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,040
Uh, there's nothing happening
between Helen and I.
79
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,720
Oh, right.
OK.
80
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,800
There isn't.
81
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,800
OK. Just need a couple of shots
of you nodding, if you could just...
82
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,080
Yeah. I know.
83
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,760
(CLEARS THROAT)
84
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,200
Who made the first move?
85
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,200
She big spoon or little spoon?
86
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,280
Big spoon, I reckon.
Big spoon, for sure. Definitely.
87
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,360
Can we focus, please?
Yeah, definitely. Sorry.
88
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,280
(MUSIC PLAYS)
89
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:25,560
Hi.
90
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,920
Are you going out?
91
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,600
I bought this for Saturday.
92
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,800
What's Saturday?
Geoff's 60th.
93
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,560
Do you think this is a little bit
too dressy for cocktail?
94
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,040
Don't know. Don't think so.
No?
95
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,600
It's just Geoff's wife hates me
96
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,600
and if I fuck up the dress code,
then I'll never hear the end of it.
97
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,360
But there's also this part of me
that's just a little bit excited
98
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,800
about the idea of her
fixating on it, so...
99
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,480
Can I show you option number two?
100
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,040
You go and make yourself a drink.
101
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,640
OK. (LAUGHS)
102
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,600
Hey, Helen, um,
103
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,080
have you been getting people
making comments about us at work?
104
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,480
No.
105
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,840
Have you?
106
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:06,720
All day.
Who?
107
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,360
Um, camera boys, mostly.
108
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,840
What do they say?
109
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:13,520
Just...lewd comments.
110
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,280
Ignore them.
I'm sure they're just bored.
111
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,320
So, what do you think?
It's confident, right?
112
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:25,400
I like it.
(LAUGHS)
113
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,880
Do you have a cocktail suit?
114
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,120
I'm not invited.
But I've got a plus one.
115
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,520
No, see, I actually think going as
your plus one's gonna make it worse.
116
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,160
I think we should keep
some distance, really.
117
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,800
Just for the next week or two.
118
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,800
What the fuck are they saying?
Calling me a slut?
119
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,400
I don't care.
They'd say that anyway.
120
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,680
I just don't like people
talking about me.
121
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,840
Are you...
122
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:48,880
Are you sure that this is
just about the gossip?
123
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,400
Is this your way of
trying to tell me
124
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,840
that I'm a little bit too much?
125
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,120
Helen.
126
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,800
We can still hang out after hours,
just not at work things.
127
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:00,800
OK.
128
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,000
I'm sorry.
129
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,520
It's OK.
130
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:08,640
OK.
131
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,720
Bye.
Bye.
132
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,640
LINDSAY: The CEO says
it is the duck's nuts.
133
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,080
It is very, very flash.
134
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,320
Sounds a bit extravagant.
Oh, come on.
135
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,320
It's your 60th, mate. Live a little.
136
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,480
This is an international
luxury resort.
137
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,320
Conrad Jupiters.
138
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,720
I mean, Danny LaRue,
he's doing a show there.
139
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,440
Come on, mate. You'll love it.
No, no, no, no.
140
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,200
I gotta... I should be...
Going?
141
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,760
Yeah, alright, before you do,
more questions from upstairs.
142
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,840
They were just, you know, wondering
143
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:00,640
how you're looking at
the next few years.
144
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,400
In what sense?
Oh, just generally, you know.
145
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,840
I, uh...
146
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,120
I think I may have sold 'em
on that idea
147
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,440
of getting you back out
into the field a bit more.
148
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,520
Really?
Oh, yeah. I told them, mate.
149
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,840
I said, "Listen, Geoff Walters,
people forget about him.
150
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,040
"He was a war correspondent,
world class."
151
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,960
And this is in addition to the desk?
Yeah!
152
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,360
But not necessarily.
153
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,280
What?
154
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,440
Listen, mate, if you really
want to get out there,
155
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,720
do some investigative stuff,
some international stuff,
156
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,760
the CEO will back you -
your own show, your own crew...
157
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,120
Am I being given a push?
158
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,320
No, mate, but we both know
that the numbers have...
159
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,080
Now, you tell me
exactly what was said.
160
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,080
Nothing was said, nothing.
I just did...
161
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,280
I'm just aware of what happened
to that bloke in Perth.
162
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,880
That newsreader had been there
for five years.
163
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,400
I've been with the network
for 30 years.
164
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,040
I'm in your corner,
I'm in your corner.
165
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,760
Could I get you anything else?
Uh, no, thanks, mate.
166
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,120
We're alright. Thank you very much.
167
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,400
Are you saying that I should
consider my position?
168
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,480
All I'm saying, old mate, is that...
169
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,680
..you've got
a pretty great option now and...
170
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,080
..I couldn't tell you how long
it's going to stay on the table.
171
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,800
(PHONE RINGS)
172
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,080
OK, so we start with the general
introduction to the comet,

00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,600
then the piece on Edmund Halley.
174
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,200
We got any more time in that?
175
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,000
MAN: It's already pushed out
to two and a half minutes.
176
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,080
(SIGHS) OK, well, then we're
going to go to the BBC special
177
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,840
on the 'Ghee-oto' space satellite.
178
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,040
Giotto.
Sorry?
179
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,600
It's the Giotto space satellite.
180
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,360
Thanks, Dale.
181
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,920
Um, is there any more time
in the story on comet tourism?
182
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,360
There's a lot of footage of
Japanese tourists,
183
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,080
but then we'll need subtitles.
184
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,000
Noelene, could you translate?
185
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,840
I don't know Japanese.
Oh.
186
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,360
What about your parents?
Do they know?
187
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,320
They're Korean.
Huh?
188
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,160
I'll find a translator.
Great. Thank you.
189
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,560
Um, next, the National Boys Choir
is going to perform...
190
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:18,200
What about
the Aboriginal mythology story?
191
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,320
That's been dropped.
Why?
192
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,000
The interviews were too hard
to understand.
193
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,320
We'll just use subtitles.
194
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,120
It's a family special.
So?
195
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,640
Kids won't read subtitles.
196
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,920
The subtitles are OK
for the Japanese tourist story,
197
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,560
but not OK for
the Aboriginal mythology story?
198
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,760
Correct. Yes. Where was I?
199
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,240
I don't know if
a live cross is possible,
200
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,800
but tonight, Melbourne Observatory
is having a family event.
201
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,960
You know, without
the Aboriginal mythology story,
202
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,560
this is basically
just the BBC special repackaged.
203
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:47,920
Well, Lindsay nixed
the Aboriginal story, not me.
204
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,120
So... What kind of event?
205
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,400
They've invited families
to come to the observ...
206
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,680
If you've got a problem with that,
you can go tell him yourself.
207
00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:56,520
You know, walk in there
and say to him, "Look, Lindsay,
208
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,080
"we are three minutes short on the
comet special, but I've got an idea!
209
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,880
"More Aboriginals!"
See what he has to say about it.
210
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,880
You're pathetic.
Oh! Unbelievable!
211
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,080
Un...un...unbelievable.
212
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,440
She begs to be part of this stuff,
213
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,320
gets here and acts like
a bitch on wheels.
214
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,160
The live cross idea
is worth considering.
215
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,040
They are expecting hundreds
at the observatory.
216
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,360
And who's gonna do it?
217
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,480
You?
I could, yeah.
218
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,400
Any more ideas?
219
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,920
No? Good. Thank you.
220
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,160
I can get three minutes,
maybe more, out of a live cross.
221
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,920
Going live isn't your strong suit.
222
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,720
I struggled with the updates, sure,
but a live cross is different.
223
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,000
Oh, God.
224
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,640
So, my options are an on-air choke
225
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,520
or a pack of blackfellas
no-one understands.
226
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:37,800
Fuckin' hell.
227
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,800
Macca, do you know
if the link truck is available?
228
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,360
Yes. OK, good.
Thank you.
229
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,800
Noels, you're not...you're not
230
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,720
making a trip to the canteen,
are you?
231
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,400
Is there any chance you could get us
232
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,200
two choc milks, two pies
and a sausage roll, please?
233
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,120
Extra tomato sauce?
Extra tomato sauce. Yes!
234
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,920
# Happy birthday to you
235
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,520
# Happy birthday
to you
236
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,720
# Happy birthday, dear Geoff
237
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,160
# Happy birthday
to you. #

Thank you. Thank you.
242
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,480
How's Evelyn going?
243
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,680
Well, uh, she was just having
an altercation with the caterers,
244
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:46,760
so I evacuated quickly.
245
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,840
(LAUGHTER)
246
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,560
Uh, Noelene...
I'll be with you in just a minute...
247
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:52,120
Before you go, would you...
would you mind...
248
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,720
..would you mind just, um,
typing something up for me?
249
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,680
Uh, of course.
Yes. It's, uh...
250
00:11:57,680 --> 00:11:59,200
It's my speech for tomorrow.
251
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,760
It's quite sensitive.
252
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,800
And I'd appreciate it
if you didn't let anybody know
253
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,000
the details in there.
254
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,920
Of course.
It's not quite finished.
255
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,360
I just want to see it in print.
256
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,840
I'll have it to you
by the end of the day.
257
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,000
Thank you. Thank you.
Could you pop that in my office?
258
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,360
Mm-hm.
Thank you, dear.
259
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,720
Hey, Noels, could we add a
Polly Waffle to that order, please?
260
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:18,880
Yeah.
261
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,360
Um...
262
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,800
Did the CEO mention
if he was coming on Saturday?
263
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,880
Well, I haven't spoken to him
today, mate.
264
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,720
Well, I've come to a decision.
265
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,480
I'll be offering more on Saturday.
266
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,000
Come on, mate.
267
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,200
What decision would that be?
268
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,560
The RSVP date was two weeks ago,
269
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:41,640
but tell the CEO
that we'll happily overlook that.
270
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,400
Never seen it like that...life...
271
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,800
All the cows and bullock...
272
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,680
If we were making a documentary,
fine, but we're not. It's too boring.
273
00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:00,160
Well, I mean, first you say
it's too hard to understand,
274
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,080
and now you say it's too boring.
275
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,880
That's because both are true.
276
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,600
She's...she's describing
a biblical flood
277
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,720
that...that...
278
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,440
"That...that...that..." Spit it out!
279
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,400
They believe that the comet
is a bad omen.
280
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,080
(LAUGHS) Oh-ho-ho!
Settle in, kiddies!
281
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,200
That magical moment
we've been waiting for.
282
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,040
It's gonna kill us all!

(SIGHS)
284
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,800
MAN: We could try
cutting the interview
285
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,640
and just do it
with Helen's voiceover.
286
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,200
Do whatever you want.
287
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,400
Spend the entire day on it.
Show Lindsay a cut.
288
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,040
I'll tell you exactly
what'll happen.
289
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,720
He will can the entire thing.
And you know what won't happen?!
290
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,920
Nobody will turn to me and say,
"You know what, Dennis?
291
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,320
"You were absolutely right!
292
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,280
"We should have fucking
listened to you!"
293
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,040
That won't happen!

295
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,880
What do you want me to do?
Cut it or...
296
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,640

Dale Jennings.
Can you come to my office, please?
299
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,360
I'm sorry,
I'm racing out to do the cross.
300
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,480
Can you just please bring me
a glass of water?
301
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,080
I've gotta go. The boys are waiting.
Sorry.
302
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,280
Fresh from the market.
303
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,600
Oh.
No, no, no.
304
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,400
I'm done.
305
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:49,560
You right?
Yeah.
306
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,040
Can I just take a minute, please?
307
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,400
Yeah, of course.
308
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,640
Here we go again.
309
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,640
(SOBS)
310
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,000
Thanks, Helen.
311
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,400
Oh. Thanks, Helen.
I'm here at Melbourne Observatory.
312
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,080
Thanks, Helen.
313
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,560
I'm here at Melbourne Observatory,
314
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,920
where observers
have been lining up...
315
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,520
Mate, every time you read it,
you sound more stilted.
316
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:45,880
Just so you know.
317
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,400
I might just check on the astronomer.
318
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,320
He said he's coming. Just relax.
319
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,720
Think of something else, maybe.
320
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,600
Hey, so, I noticed, um...you and
Helen are keeping a low profile.
321
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,880
Is it over or has it
just kind of gone underground?
322
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,160
Nothing ever happened.
I heard she stayed at your place.
323
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,040
And I heard you made out
with her in Murray's...
324
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,480
Stayed at my house on one occasion
and we had a career discussion
325
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:08,800
and that's it, it's...
326
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,400
I don't know why
you find it so fascinating.
327
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,120
You know it's not just us, right?
It's the talk of the entire office.
328
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,440
Why?
329
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,120
I don't know.
MAN: Ladies and gentlemen.
330
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,600
People like to gossip about Helen.
I am so sorry.
331
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,680
Cloud cover is not shifting
any time soon,
332
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,800
so there's not going to be
any comet visible tonight.
333
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,400
Are we still doing the live cross?
Yes.

00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,600
Well, right now, as we turn
the calendar page to February,
346
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,600
we are on the brink of
a celestial sky show,
347
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,680
the likes of which
hasn't been seen in 75 years.
348
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,600
Bloody hell.
349
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,360
How does she do it, huh?
350
00:17:19,360 --> 00:17:21,480
Nightmare off-screen,
camera goes on her...
351
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:23,760
..bloody magic.
352
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,560
Join us as we unlock the history,
the hype and the science
353
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,160
of Halley's Comet.
354
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,760
And we're clear.
355
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,400
Cheryl, Cheryl.
356
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:34,880
10 seconds.
Cheryl.
357
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,800
What is it?
Is my make-up running right there?
358
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,440
I can feel it.
No. No, no.
359
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,880
On my hand in five, four, three...
360
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,040
Well, our journey begins
some 300 years ago
361
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,040
when a British astronomer
looked up the skies.
362
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,280
Edmund Halley, a personal friend
of King Charles,
363
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,600
managed to not only
identify the comet,
364
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,320
but to compute its orbit
and lend it his name.
365
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,640
Francene Pulford takes us back
to the 1600s,
366
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,480
to a time of kings, courts
and comets.
367
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,240
And we're clear.
368
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,520
(CLEARS THROAT)
369
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,560

GEOFF: Get me Lindsay.
Helen, 20 seconds.
372
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:35,960
Helen! Now!
373
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,480
Helen's in a bit of a state.
374
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:39,880
OK, 15 seconds.
375
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,520
OK?
376
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,320
Just ask questions
and listen to him.
377
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,120
Forget about it being live.
Just...just listen to his answers.
378
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,160
And in 10 seconds...
379
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,720
On my hand in five, four...
380
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,720
Clear, please, Cheryl.
Three. Thank you. Two.
381
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,920
Well, amateur stargazers
all over the country
382
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,360
are preparing themselves
for this once-in-a-lifetime event.
383
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:10,360
Dale Jennings
is at the Melbourne Observatory
384
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:14,600
where families are already lining up
for a first glimpse of the comet.
385
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,240
What's the atmosphere there
like, Dale?
386
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,400
Well, Helen, comet watchers
will have to wait just a bit longer
387
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,320
with heavy cloud forecast
for tonight.
388
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,720
But I am here with astronomer
Ian Lu.
389
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,600
Now, Ian, when do you expect
the comet to finally be revealed?
390
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,240
Well, we're hoping for
the cloud cover to clear
391
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,400
tomorrow evening some time,
392
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,600
and, uh, fingers crossed,
we'll be getting quite a space show.
393
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,760
Fingers crossed indeed.
394
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,640
Now, Ian, I've heard that
395
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,960
astronomers sometimes
refer to comets as apparitions...
396
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,920
He could try blinking occasionally.
397
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,560
Oh, mate, he's doing alright.
398
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,400
We use the term apparition
399
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,600
because comets are,
in, fact quite ghost-like.
400
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,200
And we're clear.
401
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,720
(GEOFF CLEARS THROAT)
402
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:01,520
You right there, are you, Helen?
403
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,840
Mm-hm.
404
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,960
I can do the next segment,
if you need a moment.
405
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,880
I'm fine.
And we are back in 10...
406
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,240
You and I, Helen, we're gonna have
a little chat when you're done here.
407
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,320
On my hand in five...
408
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,160
DALE: And when that occurs,
409
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,040
we'll be sure to broadcast
those images
410
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,800
straight into your living rooms.
411
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,960
But for now, a picnic blanket and a
pair of binoculars will have to do.
412
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,560
I'm Dale Jennings
from Melbourne Observatory,
413
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,240
where the advice is to get
a good night's sleep tonight
414
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,720
because tomorrow, a once in
a lifetime light show will begin.
415
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,440
Back to you, Geoff.
416
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,040
Thanks, Dale.
417
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,000
Well, Tourism Australia
is expecting...
418
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,800
And we're out.
419
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,800
Thank you.
Oh, no, thank you. Yeah.
420
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,720
Very good. Thank you.
Thank you.
421
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,800
Did it go alright?
Yeah. That was good.
422
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,440
Was great.
Did I speak too fast? My eyes...?
423
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,640
You eyes were normal openness.
What about...what about my head?
424
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,200
Was it jerky or anything?
(LAUGHS)
425
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,240
Mate, you were good. You were good.
Yeah?
426
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,200
You were great.
(LAUGHS) Yes!
427
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,280
Good job. Good job.
428
00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:07,000
Holy moly!

REPORTER: Matched in space
by the heat of the sun,
430
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,160
there's literally thousands
and thousands of kilometres...
431
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,840
Noels, you gotta watch!
432
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,080
And yet, in what is a wonderful
contradiction,
433
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,680
it's really nothing at all.
434
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,320
REPORTER: We'll be back with more
after the break.
435
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:22,760
You've almost missed the whole thing.
436
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,560
Oh, I'm just finishing up.
437
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,760

No. Give it back.

00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,520
Um...I don't know. What is it?
440
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,200
Just research notes or some...
441
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,640
Are you gettin' another beer, Brett?
Yeah.
442
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,080
Can you grab me one?
Noels, you want a beer?
443
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,080
Forget you saw that, please.

Shh!
445
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,120
Well, can I...
No, can I see a bit more?
446
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:45,240
No. Step away.
447
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,120
What is he, um... Retiring?
448
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:49,040
Or are they...?
You never saw anything.
449
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,320
Yeah, fine, but...
450
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,840
..does it say anything about
who's replacing him?
451
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,880
Please don't tell anyone.
452
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,600
A couple of us are catching
the comet tomorrow night,
453
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,000
if you want to come.
454
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,480

Hey, it's nothing to be ashamed of.
459
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,960
Whereabouts? Where were you thinking?
460
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,280
My building.
We've got an amazing rooftop.
461
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,720
It's stunning.
462
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,360
I'll give you my number.
It's super casual.
463
00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:42,840
Just, uh...let me know.
464
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,680
It's fine either way.

for this night

One moment.

00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:29,800
Open the door, please, Helen.

00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:34,280
There's a bottle of Valium
in the bottom drawer of my desk.

Come on, Helen. Come on now.

Helen?
Jesus Christ.
492
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,000
Helen, open the door now.
493
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,320
I think I was really dehydrated.
494
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,080
I bet you were.
495
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,200
What are they?
They're Valium.
496
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,080
They're not very strong. Go on.
497
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,800
You get your things together,
I'll give you a lift home.
498
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,280
Hey, Dale.
Hi.
499
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,600
Hey. Are you seeing Helen tonight?
500
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,880
Look, I don't know what people
have told you, but we're not...
501
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,000
Oh, I...I just think someone
should give her a call.
502
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,120
Why?
Uh...
503
00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:33,960
..because she's just
in a really bad way.
504
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,000
Like, probably the worst
I've ever seen.
505
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,440
Thank you.

00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,840

With the mixer, or, uh, neat?
507
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,160
HELEN: Uh, no, I'll take it neat.
Ah, that's the girl.
508
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,280
Helen, if I told you something...
509
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,960
..would you promise...
510
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,680
..to keep it a secret?
511
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,320
Yes.
You promise?
512
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:07,800
I promise.
513
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,880
Geoff's not going to be on the desk
for much longer.
514
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,520
How much longer?
515
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:21,400
Well, if he's smart about it,
he'll step down graciously tomorrow.
516
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:22,560
But, uh...
517
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,280
..if not...
518
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,200
..I can't see any of us
cracking an invite
519
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,440
to next year's birthday do.
520
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,120
(LAUGHS)
Who'd want that?
521
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,360
Upstairs keeps on asking me...
522
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,680
..is Helen right to go?
523
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:46,920
Is she ready?
524
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,360
And I want to be able to say,
"Yes, she is a superstar."
525
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,720
But, uh...
526
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,960
..then we have nights like tonight.
527
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,560
I always come good when it counts.
528
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,720
(CHUCKLES)
529
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,080
Now, while we're moving Geoff out
and you in,
530
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,080
we've gotta be a team.
531
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,160
We are.
532
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,400
Well...
533
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,720
We used to be early on, but now
all you do is scream at me.
534
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:35,040
I think you can handle it.
535
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,760
You want another one?
536
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,000
Yes.
537
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,680
Hey, um, Helen,
538
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,360
did I ever tell you the story
of how I sold you to the CEO?
539
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:51,760
No.
540
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,560
Well, he wasn't keen.
541
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,200
He wanted a blonde.
542
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,680
And I said, "Mate, now, come on,
listen -
543
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,600
"sometimes a darker woman,
she's just...
544
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,880
"..so much more sophisticated.
545
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,320
"Like Faye Dunaway."
546
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,400
You know what he said?
No.
547
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,000
"Who's Faye Dunaway?
What station's she on?"
548
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,120
(LAUGHS)
549
00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:21,960
And I said, "Mate, Faye Dunaway
is a knockout.
550
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,240
"She looks...
551
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:27,960
"..just like Helen."
552
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,440
Anyway, you get the job.
553
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,920
And nine months or so later,
a phone call.
554
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,600
It's the CEO.
555
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,280
And it turns out
that old Faye Dunaway
556
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,480
is a fucking blonde
in Bonnie and Clyde.
557
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,520
And the CEO goes,
"I want that Faye Dunaway!"
558
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,640
(LAUGHS)
559
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,800
(COUGHS)
560
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,840
But it didn't matter,
because you were on that desk.
561
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,720
And you were already a superstar.
562
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,440
That's right.
563
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,160
You know, Helen, no-one...
564
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,760
..has gone in to bat harder for you
than me.
565
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,000
I know.
566
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,160
Do you?
567
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,440
Because sometimes,
it seems you forget that.
568
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,240
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
569
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,320
Helen?
570
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,880
Lindsay drove me home.
571
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,760
I just...wanted to see
if you were alright.
572
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:06,840
Oh.
573
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,480
(GROANS)
Well, don't leave on my account.
574
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:11,880
Mate, I don't think
I'd ever do that.
575
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,320
Nah. I'm done here.
576
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,120
Good luck.
577
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,120
Is everything alright?
578
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,440
No. (SOBS)
579
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:39,720
No.
580
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,360
Oh, mate.
You serious about that bow tie?
581
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,200
Yeah! Yeah, wardrobe lent it to me.
582
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:52,880
Were they serious?
Yeah.
583
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,800
They reckon pink is the big colour
at the moment.
584
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,440
Yeah?
Yeah. Don Johnson.
585
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,080
Miami Vice. Always in pink.
586
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,080
You seen Liberace?
What about him?
587
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,560
Hey.
Can I speak to you, please?
588
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,080
Yeah.
589
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,440
I'll catch ya.
590
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,680
You alright?
591
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,560
You already told someone.
592
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,280
No.
Jean just came up to me and she knew.
593
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,400
You only found out a few hours ago!
594
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,080
Maybe...maybe she knew from Geoff.
595
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,240
She specifically mentioned
the speech.
596
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,560
Well, maybe she overheard...
maybe someone overheard us talking.
597
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,280
No.
(GROANS)
598
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,480
You told someone
right after I said not to.
599
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:32,600
Noels.
600
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,560
Everyone was going to
find out tomorrow, anyway.
601
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,480
And, you know,
if there's any problems,
602
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,800
I'll just tell them that I was
horsing around, being a dickhead,
603
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,400
and, you know, you'll be right.
604
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:46,800
I almost got the sack once
605
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,640
because Geoff stumbled over
a couple of words and blamed autocue.
606
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:54,520
I almost lost my whole career
over two words Geoff stuffed up.
607
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,480
Alright, I'll call around and tell
people that I got my wires crossed.
608
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,160
Just leave it.
609
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,920
Are you going? Tomorrow night?
610
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,760
'Cause my invite was Rob and guest.
611
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,640
No, thank you.
612
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:17,960
You sure?
613
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,200
You know, just so I can
make it up to you.
614
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,960
That wouldn't be
making it up to me.
615
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,760
It'd be fun, though.
616
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,160
And what do you think
that would do to my career?
617
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,080
Nothing?
618
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,440
H...Help it.
619
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,240
(BIRDSONG)
620
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,440
Morning.
Good morning.
621
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,240
You want me to make you a coffee?
622
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,760
No, thanks.
623
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,000
Are you sure that you
can't come with me tonight?
624
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,800
You're not still going, are you?
625
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,240
Yeah.
626
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,320
Don't you think you should take
a couple of days off work?
627
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,200
I mean, I was worried about you
last night.
628
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:17,640
Geoff's stepping down.
629
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,520
And Lindsay said he's going to make
the announcement at the party,
630
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,480
so I really want to be there.
631
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,400
I should go.
632
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,000
Are sure you can't just come,
just maybe until the speeches?
633
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,280
No, I actually have a thing.
634
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,920
What, like a...like a date?
635
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,280
No, no.
636
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,520
Tim from camera's
having a thing for the comet.
637
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
What, just the two of you?
638
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,840
No, I think
it's all the camera boys.
639
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,800
Are you sure about that?
Yeah.
640
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,440
Are you sure he's not
just testing the waters?
641
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,200
I'm talking about Tim Ahern,
the cameraman.
642
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,520
Yeah, I know. Gay Tim from camera.
643
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,080
Tim's not a homosexual.
644
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,520
(LAUGHS) All I'm saying is that every
other guy in that camera department's
645
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,560
checked me out, except Tim.
646
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,720
Listen, um, if you change your mind,
647
00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:11,880
I'm usually an hour and a half late
to everything.
648
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,040
Bye.
649
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,160
GEOFF: And what a privilege
it has been.
650
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,120
As I look to the next chapter,
651
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,440
it's clear that my first love
will always be chasing the story.
652
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,440
Being out in the field.
653
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,880
So, my friends,
654
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,720
I think the time has come
to get my hands dirty again, to...
655
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,640
..step away from the desk.
656
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,320
I'm sorry...
657
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,240
When was this decided?
658
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,200
I've been...weighing it up
for some time now.
659
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,000
I see.
660
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,120
You know, I've been itching
to get back in the field.
661
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,920
For the occasional story, perhaps.
662
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,080
Was this Lindsey's idea?
No.
663
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,200
No, your first love
is not being in the field.
664
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,960
It's breaking news.
665
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,280
And if you think you'd get that
from a bit of field reporting...
666
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,040
The desk just doesn't interest me
as much these days.
667
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,280
Every year, there's more and more
faff. Celebrity interviews...
668
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,440
But, you know, as soon as you
step down, something will happen -
669
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,040
some crisis, some global event -
670
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:37,280
and you'll have to sit at home
and watch Rob and Helen butcher it,
671
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:38,880
and it will kill you!
672
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,280
Wouldn't be Rob.
Of course it'll be Rob.
673
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,000
They've been grooming him for years!
674
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,800
Building him up
while they diminish you.
675
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,960
I hadn't realised
they'd been so successful.
676
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:53,840
(SIGHS)
677
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,000
MRS JENNINGS: And the Carlisles.
678
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,680
They rang
before it had even finished.
679
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,560
They said it was fascinating.
680
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,080
It was just filler, Mum.
It wasn't.
681
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,040
You could see Geoff Walters
was impressed.
682
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,920
He very pointedly said,
"Thanks, Dale."
683
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,880
Well, he always says that.
It's in the script.
684
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,440
This was different.
685
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,600
Elaine Carlisle mentioned
something else on the phone.
686
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,600
Yeah?
About Adam Lindell.
687
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,160
Apparently, Adam's living
in the city now with a friend.
688
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,440
A man.
689
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,280
How would Elaine Carlisle know that?
690
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,280
Adam's not discreet about it at all.
691
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,480
She said he just rang Shane up
and told him.
692
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,080
He hasn't tried to be in contact
with you, has he?
693
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,440
No.
694
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,240
Everyone agrees.
695
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:44,840
They owe you an apology.
The whole Lindell family.
696
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,280
Chops are in the fridge. That should
be enough for Monday and Tuesday.
697
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,320
The casserole's in the freezer.
That'll keep.
698
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,440
Have you got any washing? Are you
using that basket I gave you?

Hello?
Hi, it's Dale. Jennings.
701
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:39,440
G'day.
Um, so...
702
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:40,960
Uh, they said it was...
So, just...
703
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,320
You go.
704
00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:45,680
The others have pulled out,
because of the cloud,
705
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,520
but, uh, they said it was
going to clear on the radio,
706
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,040
so if you wanted to come around,
I'll still be here.
707
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,880
We don't need the rest of 'em.
708
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,760
I'm actually going to go
to the party. Geoff's.
709
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,360
With Helen.
710
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,800
So...make your joke.
711
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,360
(LAUGHS)
712
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,840
No worries. No worries.
We'll do it next time, eh?
713
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,000
In 2061?
714
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,200
Sorry?
715
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,040
When the comet comes back.
716
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,320
Oh. (LAUGHS) Right.
717
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,440
I will see you on Monday.
Have fun at the party.
718
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:20,560
OK.

I've still got half an hour
worth of dressing to do.

00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,200
OK.

00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,520

You too.

Hi!
Hello!
726
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,520
How does it feel to be here tonight?
727
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,760
Uh, Donna, one second.
It feels great.
728
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,640
It's always such an honour,
isn't it,
729
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,800
to raise the glass to a legend,
730
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,760
and, fingers crossed,
the clouds will stay away.
731
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,560
We might even catch a glimpse
of that comet.
732
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,360
Hope so.
Now, which way's the bar?
733
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:12,960
Oh, behind me.
Over here. Right.
734
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,280
Trust you.
See you soon.
735
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,640
Talk to you soon, Trish.
Nice to see you.
736

Hey, Rob. Hey.
Hey.

No. It's for tonight.
741
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,280
They said it looked great.
742
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,400
What were their faces doing
when they said that?

Hey, hey, hey.

00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,560
Did you, um, hear about
Geoffo's speech?
745
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,240
No. What about it?
I heard he's, um...
746
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:40,880
(CLEARS THROAT)
I heard he's stepping down.
747
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,400
Oh, well, that's bullshit.
748
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,240
I've heard from three people now.
749
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:45,840
Wants to be some kind of
roving reporter,
750
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,360
but apparently he's had a wobble.
751
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,760
Well, you shouldn't be spreading
that kind of crap, Dennis.
752
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,040
What? Your mate Brett told me.
753
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,440
Well... Brett?
Yeah.
754
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:53,880
Brett spins
a whole heap of bullshit.
755
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,680
And you're the biggest gossip
in the entire building.

Oh, fuck...
757
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,840
And don't lecture me about gossip
when you're a gossip.

00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,760
OK, listen. Shh, shh.
Come here, come here.

says he'll step down today.

I thought we agreed
just Donna from The Sun.

Uh, yes, but we can't
play favourites
764
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,640
and exclude the Fairfax press.

Geoff, happy birthday.
770
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:29,680
How are you feeling?
771
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,160
Well, it's wonderful
to have so many friends here,
772
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,720
and, uh, very honoured to...
to have Premier Cain here.

Now, are we expecting your co-host
to be joining you this evening?

Uh, yes.

Well, the whole News at Six team
is family, so, yes.

00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,200
I will.
Hello, Anne!

Happy birthday, mate.

Hey! Evelyn.

00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,960
You've outdone yourself.
It's top shelf.
781
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:00,840
Any, uh...
782
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,800
Any word on the CEO? I don't see him.
783
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,440
Uh, dunno, mate.
784
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,520
And how did things wind up
last night with Helen?
785
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,680
I heard there was quite a scene.
786
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,160
Oh, you know...
787
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:14,440
..par for the course.
788
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,000
Mm. Well, you're all
very patient with her.
789
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,120
Mm.
No, you are.
790
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,600
It's a credit to you both.
791
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,880
I don't think she'd last
five minutes anywhere else.
792
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,200
Ah...
793
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:25,920
Oh!
Sir Robert.
794
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,720
Thank you.
795
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,400
Helen? Hello!
796
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,200
Oh, look at that.
Beautiful.
797
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:07,880
He told me it was all rumours.
798
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,680
He was at her place last night.
Was he?
799
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,520
Yeah.
Helen, can you just turn...?
800
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,040
I always thought he was a poof.
801
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:14,240
Yeah.
802
00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:18,360
So, Helen, would you say that Geoff
has really helped shape your career?
803
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:19,720
Absolutely.
804
00:42:19,720 --> 00:42:21,240
But, uh, I mean, more than that -
805
00:42:21,240 --> 00:42:24,240
when I was a child,
if something happened in the world,
806
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:26,680
I'd want to hear it from...
from Geoff Walters.
807
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,120
And, sorry, your name is...
808
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,720
This is Dale Jennings,
senior reporter.
809
00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:33,000

to add, Dale?
810
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,480
I'm just happy to be here.
811
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:35,800
Great.
Fantastic.
812
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,920
Well, the party's in full swing.
OK.
813
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,880
Yeah, enjoy. Nice to meet you.
814
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:40,920
Thanks.
815
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,400
You did good.
Did I?
816
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,360
Mm-hm.
I'm not sure of that.
817
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:47,720
Happy birthday, Geoff.
818
00:42:47,720 --> 00:42:50,240
Stunning...party.
Thank you.
819
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,200
How are you, Helen?
820
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:55,680
Wonderful.
821
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,320
And the garden looks more beautiful
than...than last time.
822
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,840
And your...I love your outfit.
823
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,640
And I don't think
we've officially met.
824
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,680
I'm Evelyn.
Dale Jennings.
825
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,560
Mr Jennings is a wonderful
young reporter.
826
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,160
Yes, I've seen.
827
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:16,920
Thrilled to have you here, Dale.
828
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,080
It's an honour to be here, sir.
829
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:24,800
Oh, I can't watch.
830
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,320
Um...drinks?
831
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,320
Thank you.
Let's just get a drink from the bar.
832
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:33,840
OK.
833
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,680

could it be any tighter?

Thank you.

00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:50,720
Thank you all for coming.
838
00:43:50,720 --> 00:43:55,360
Tonight marks not only
a significant birthday,
839
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,880
but also the 30th anniversary
of my very first bulletin.
840
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,200
(APPLAUSE)
841
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,280
He's fuckin' doin' it.
He's fuckin' doin' it.
842
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,400
Which was,
as Lindsay well knows,
843
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:11,640
in fact, THE first bulletin.
844
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,680
We covered the Melbourne Olympics,
845
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,920
man's first steps on the moon.
846
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,920
We went from black and white
to colour.
847
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,280
I reported from
war-torn South Vietnam.
848
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,760
Darwin for Cyclone Tracy
849
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,000
and again for the Chamberlain trial.
850
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:34,200
And now...this...anniversary,
851
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:39,440
gently, very gently,
prodded by my darling wife
852
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,240
into this spot of reflection,
853
00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:44,880
I realised that, together,
854
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:50,040
all of us have been writing the
history of this remarkable century
855
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:51,800
in real time.
856
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,560
And what a privilege it has been.
857
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,360
(APPLAUSE)
Thank you. Thank you, all.
858
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:58,920
Take your 50 now?
859
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,920
We have less than 15 years left
of this century,
860
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:07,200
at which point I'll turn 75,
861
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:11,640
which is also the life cycle
of the comet that we'll see tonight.
862
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:14,920
Could it be a sign?
863
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:21,960
But it's been enough to convince me
864
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,920
that I must stay on the desk...
865
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:26,240
ALL: Ohh!
866
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:29,320
..at the heart
of this remarkable bulletin,
867
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,480
