You assured me that you go throughevery
story with a fine-tooth comb.

Who signed off on that footage?

That's Dennis Tibb's responsibility,
I'm sorry to say.

Who would you say isthe
best news director working today?

Some would say Vincent Callahan.

With Kay back from London,
I'll be doing all the favourites.

Rob and I are together.

Yep. You're a producer now, Noelene.

Stop dressing like a schoolgirl.
Be assertive and stand your ground.

LINDSAY: Complaints aboutour
coverage! Too confronting!

But mostlythey're complaints about you.

Too uncaring,too abrasive, too cold! You!

The whole countryis on
the brink of a colossal change,

and it is our job to report it.

Charlie Tate wants you off the desk.

Then I'll recalibrate.

But I can't do that sitting at home.

I need to be on the desk.

In the future, if any directiveof
mine rubs you the wrong way, uh,

my door is always open.

You strike me as a bitopen to possibilities.

Wait. What does that mean?

I am.

DALE: Whoa. How much is he on?

Probably aboutfour times as much as us.

Renegotiates every yearand is a man.

Right.(DOG BARKS)

GERRY: Hello. Hello.Hello.

(LAUGHS) Hello.Hi.

Can you handle an overexcited dog?I'm sorry.

We do actually show him affection.

You'd never know it.So lovely to see you.

You too. Thank you for the invite.

Nice to see you. Mwah!You as well.
And these are for you.

He loves you.Oh, they're gorgeous! Thank you.

GERRY: Hey! So you like Dale, yeah?Hi, Dale.
Nice to meet you.

You too.GERRY: Dog loves you, Dale.

Dale's a country boy. (LAUGHS)Really?

Well, Bendigo.Oh. Gerry is a farm boy.

Well, from a familyof horse breeders.

Carla might as well have been
bornon the cocktail bar at the Hilton,

God bless her, but...

..somehow we managedto find things in common.

CARLA: Look,I appreciate the country, you know,

just from the windowof a 5-star hotel room.

Who doesn't? Come in! Champagne?Come in.
Why are we standing around?

After you. Speaking of champagne,
we've got one open and ready.

Oh. Great.Get in there.

The guests are here!CARLA:
Helen, Dale, this is Alison.

Hi. Nice to meet you. Hi.Hi. Hi. I'm Helen.

Hi.Alison.

Hello.

She absolutely adores you both.

Obsessed.Ah!

Oh! Don't you? She used to wantto
be a teacher, now a newsreader.

Practises every dayin front of the mirror.

I did that once.Twice.

Once.Well.

Well, you should come and
visitthe news desk one day, Alison.

Have a go at the autocue.Oh, that'd be amazing.

You know,Helen's a very good teacher.

She would love that.

You would love that, wouldn't you?Yeah.
Yeah, I'd love that.

Say, "Yes, thank you."Yes. Yes, thank you.

Now, drinks. Come on.And a vase.

GERRY: Let's get started.

So, how did you two meet?

Uh, I was singing on a cruise ship.

Carla came on board and...

..I thought she was themost
dazzling person I'd ever met.

I spent an entire South Pacificcruise
trying to impress her.

Well, you succeeded, clearly.

(LAUGHS)

Once we docked in Sydney,
we were basically married.

Carla told me...

..Australian audiences arevery
receptive to Irish charm, so...

..I just tried my chances here.

Carla set up meetings,introduced me to people.

It all kind of just happened.

Yeah, she's always seenwho I could be.

And she's always known who I was.

In case you were wondering.

No.

You need to improveyour poker face, Dale.

(BOTH LAUGH)

I think I would kill Gerry

if I had to work with him every day.

(LAUGHS)

Mmm.

Oh, um, I mean,we have our moments, but...

..I mean,it must be difficult for YOU,

having Gerry home so lateevery night.

Oh. No, honestly, it suits me.

You know,I'm at the magazine by seven,

and he's with Alisonin the mornings,

and then I'm home by 5:30.

Do you want kids?

Oh. Um...

Not sure.Not sure.

Mmm.Yeah. I wasn't sure.

Gerry was. He's one of nine.

Mmm.

I really...

..struggled at first.

Mmm.

You know,the whole first year, really.

I mean, the birth...Mmm.

..split vaginaright to the anus, and...

..yeah, but Gerryreally took to it, you know.

He was just, like...

(IRISH ACCENT) .."Just hold on.
Things will get better."

And he was right.

And I healed down there.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)So...

Oh, Gerry,can you help with the canapes?

GERRY: Oh, yes. Absolutely.

Yes. Let's do it. Just a tick.

How you faring?

HELEN: I mean, look.

We haven't even had lunch.

I know. I'm starving.

Now, if I could ask you to...

..place your keys in the bowl.

Oh! (LAUGHS)

Oh. (LAUGHS)(LAUGHS)

No, no, no. He's...he's serious.

Keys in the bowl.

Oh.

We're kidding! (LAUGHS)We're
kidding! (LAUGHS) Kidding!

We're thrilled you're here.
Cheers.We don't do that.

Cheers. Good health.(PIANO MUSIC)

Say nighty-night and kiss me...

Night-night, darling.Night-night.

Just hold me tightand tell me you'll miss me

While I'm alone and blue as can be

Dream a little dream of me...

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

MAN: (ON TV) Well,I think
everyone's waiting to see

what Wall Street does tonight.

If it's down again then,
could be a nervous day tomorrow.

VOICEOVER:Behind the frenzy of activity,

all the analystsare asking the same question.

Is this just another correction.
..FRANK: We're back, in five, four...

..or the crasheveryone's been predicting?

Today's weather -clear with a top of 18 degrees.

We'll be back with all the latest

news and analysisfrom the stock exchange

as well asthe day's other top stories

tonight at six.

FRANK: And we're out.

Hey, what...where's the referenceto Charles Tate?

Don't know.

In the original, therewas
a reference to Charles Tate.

I mean, he lost almost as muchas Holmes a Court,

more than John Elliott.

Well, we don't want to bite
thehand that feeds us, do we, Helen?

Now, I need you upstairsfor a phone call now.

With who?

That trollop from the Sun,
Donna Gillies, the gossip woman.

She's got something going
to print,she wants a response,

and Bev is having kittens.

There's, uh...

..nothing salacious I need to know,is there?

Well, you know, no...kiddie
fiddlers, sheep shaggers,

Nazi war criminalsin the extended family?

Not that I know of, no.Good.

Listen, I'd like Daleon that call too, please.

Of course.

(BEEP)

Hello, Donna. Are you there?DONNA: Yes, I'm here.

I'm here with Helen nowas well as Dale Jennings

and news directorLindsay Cunningham.

You want to discuss a column?
DONNA: Uh, it's not a column.

It's a feature, actually.

Uh, Helen, thank you so muchfor speaking with me.

I just want to get your commentson a few things.

Firstly, is it true that yourlegal
name is actually Helen Karcic

and that Norvilleis your mother's maiden name?

(BEEP)We can decline to comment, yeah?

I don't care. We don't care.Sure.

(BEEP)

Uh...Donna,that's not really much of a story.

Um...look, I'm not pregnant.

Oh. (LAUGHS)HELEN: Is there anything else?

Uh, no, I actuallyhave a few more questions.

Um, is it true that you've
beenestranged from your family

for nearly two decades now?

Oh. That's a no.No comment.

DONNA: And, uh, is it truethat you were committed

to the Larundelpsychiatric facility,

uh, when you were 16and
treated for schizophrenia?

(CALL DISCONNECTS)

We've got her.

Is there any truth to that?

We need legal advice right now.

Jean, upstairs.

(PHONE RINGS)

(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

(PHONE RINGS)

What are you doing?(BEEP)

DONNA: It's Donna Gillies again.
Donna, that's completely inaccurate.

If you printany of my personal medical history,

then we WILL be suing.

Listen, I understandthis
is a very sensitive issue,

but I do havea couple more questions.

Is it true that you didn't attendyour
father's funeral last year?

No comment.

Do you realise that your sister
hasapproached News at Six several times?

HELEN: I have no comment.

If you even think aboutapproaching my family...

DONNA: And they'vealready declined to comment.

I'm assuming that you're
alsodeclining to comment?

LINDSAY: She's not gonna comment.

This is a bullshit story,
and it's not going to print!

Oh. Well, actually,it's
already been through legals.

And I've got sources datingall
the way back to Thornbury High

in the '60s.

So, um, Helen,if you do change your mind,

Bev's got my number,

and, uh, this is gonna go to print

probably tomorrow,otherwise Wednesday.

OK. Thank you.(CALL DISONNECTS)

Well, we need to seeksome form of injunction.

I'll try and find an advance copyof the article.

There's nothing worse, is there?
You need to call Charlie Tate.

No. We don't want to involve him.
He would know the owner of the Sun.

He's got his hands full,
getting gutted in the markets!

You go do the bulletin.I'll do the lawyers.

Legals are in a meeting.I've
asked for them to be notified.

If a hospital worker leaked this,

then legally,this cannot be printed.

Hey, Dale.

So this is not a beat-up?This is all true?

Just...stop it going to print.

GEOFF: How long do you
thinkuntil it regains the value

lost this morning, Morris?

MORRIS: I'd say end of this week.

End of the week.

MORRIS: This might actually
be goodfor Australian stock.

If the situation worsens overseas,

more and more internationalinvestors
will start buying here.

One moment, Morris.

That's absurdly optimistic.

They expect another 5% dropon
Wall Street tomorrow, if not more!

Let's wait and seewhat happens overnight.

Oh! By then, it'll be too late!

Alright.

Let's sell half.

Where are you off to?

Oh. Kay needs to sell too.

And she's not answering.

That little batchof birthday shares?

Well, those birthday sharesare
now valued at over $15,000.

And she needs it.

Morris.MORRIS: Yep.

Decided to have a bet each way.(SIGHS)

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

EVELYN: Kay!

Kay, if you're there, please.

It's about your shares, darling,
and it's really quite crucial.

(KEYS JINGLE)

Kay?

FRANK: And in six,

five, four...

(NEWS THEME PLAYS)

Tonight,share prices drop around the world.

And stock markets are grippedby frantic selling.

Good evening. I'm Helen Norville.

And I'm Dale Jennings.

A dramatic sell-off on Wall Streeton Friday

has resulted in $10 billion beingstripped
from the Australian market

in just one day.

The world is now looking to WallStreet,
dearly hoping for a rally.

But if the fall continues overnight,

analysts fear very dark
times aheadfor the global economy

after years of unprecedented growth.

VOICEOVER:After the sensational collapse

of share prices across the
boardon Wall Street on Friday,

everyone was expecting a drop
onthe Australian Stock Exchange today.

The question was notwould
prices fall but by how much?

And brokers didn't have to wait longto find out.

Within only 15 minutes of trading.
..And we're back, in five, four...

..the All Ordinaries indexhad
dropped by 29 points.

DALE: Mark Elliott reportingfrom
the Melbourne Stock Exchange.

Hi.

We're wanting to get one of
youon the market floor tomorrow

for the opening of trading,
maybe even a live cross.

Hey, Noelene,can we discuss this in a bit?

(PHONES RING)

(TYPEWRITERS CLACK)

Update?

LINDSAY: Uh...well,I can
tell you that our legal team

is about as usefulas a glass door in the dunny.

DALE: What are they gonna do?

Oh, they reckon they can't doanything
till they see the article.

DALE: Well, surely Bev's got a copy.

LINDSAY: She is working on it,

but...it's likely we'regonna
see it when it's printed.

So we just have to wait?LINDSAY: Mmm.

JEAN: It seems so.

LINDSAY: Listen, do you have
anyidea who Donna's sources might be?

She claimsthey're not from the hospital.

Could you give us a minute,please, Jean?

I think someone from the
officeis leaking information.

Well, Jean's a steel trap.

Look, Donna Gillies relieson
having access to network talent.

Gerry and Carla Carroll, they'rein
the social pages every weekend.

I could ask him to...(SIGHS)

Look, we...we could make her feellike
if she publishes this article,

she'll be boycotted.

You know, actually, that is whatwe
should be asking Charlie to do.

He should go to the CEO directly.

Well, we are still on shaky
groundwith little Chuck, Helen,

and I don't think hearing

that the lead newsreader'sbeen
in the loony bin will help us.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR SLAMS)

If they manageto get an advance copy,

would you like itfaxed to your home or...?

Oh.

I don't want you to haveanything
to do with it whatsoever.

Pardon?

You were the only onewho
had all that information.

If you're suggestingI played any part in this...

If I were inclined to leak gossip,
Ipromise you it'd be worse than that.

Dale, that's a good idea.

Why don't you go downstairsand
see your mate Gerry?

(DOOR OPENS)

DENNIS: Vincent.

SurprisedLindsay let you out this early.

Oh, well. He's got me back in at 6am.

Ouch.

(SIGHS)

So...you, uh...

..you heard from Charlie yet?

Yes, I got a messagefrom
Charles Tate this morning

asking for a meeting tomorrow at 11.

Right. That's good.

Lindsay's in trouble, is he?

Yep.

Does he know that?

No.

I'm surprised you suggested me.

Why?Well, we're the same age.

No-one knows that newsroombetter than you.

Why didn't yougo for the job yourself?

Oh, mate, no-one that looks
like meis gonna get that job.

Well, you knowI'd love to work with you again.

OK.

But I'm on a pretty good wicketwhere I am.

Right. Well, Charles Tatewould
let you name your price.

Really?

And I can tell you absolutelyeverything
he wants to hear, if...

..you can guarantee meat least a 25% pay rise.

Oh.

Now it makes sense.

(LAUGHS)

15%.

(SIGHS)

Come on, mate. 20.

What do I need to know?

Great. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

So...

..Charlesis absolutely obsessed with branding.

And for him,the network brand is, don't laugh,

backyard barbecue. (SIGHS)

(NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP PLAYS)WOMAN: Kick, kick.

GERRY: Do these moves haveany
relationship to the sun at all?

WOMAN: Of course they do.It's choreography.

GERRY: Danielle,these
are the same moves we've done

for the last eight numbers.

They FEEL like the same.Um...

They're slightly diff...What?!

Sorry. Someone here for you.

Dale, just...just give me five minutes.

Just working something out.Sure.

Just over there.They DO feel the same.

They DO feel the same.They're slightly different.

Danielle, if you're not hearing
me,if you're not seeing the problem...

Gerry...that's the problem.

Gerry. Gerry.Yeah?

Look, let...let's just take 15, Danielle.

OK.Right.

(SONG STOPS)GERRY: Is Helen OK?

Not really.

Look, Donna might seem like a.
..a bubbly gossip columnist.

She's absolutely strategic.Great.

Do you thinkyou could have a word with her?

She seemsto fawn over you and Carla.

You must havesome sort of sway with her.

(SIGHS)It's...it's the other way round.

Uh, uh, a couple of years ago,someone was...

..was keen to sell a story to herabout me.

Right.

We...we managed to persuade hernot to pursue it,

but she needed compensation,so now we go to her

for every birthday,every announcement.

We changed the dateof our anniversary

to accommodate her schedule.

My advice?

Meet her in person,kill her with kindness,

and have something to offer her.

Thanks.

GERRY: OK.

Hey, guys. How is everyone?

You ready for tonight?

(BELL DINGS)

I need to speak with Charles Tate.
Uh, that won't be possible tonight.

HELEN: It's alright. I'm gonna tellhim
that you did all that you could.

No, I can schedule. I'm sorry. No.

CHARLES: Yeah, we were hopingfor
a stabilisation midweek.

There might be a bit of
a diptomorrow, but there...

I'm terribly sorry for barging
in,but I need your help.

I need help pulling an articlefrom the Sun.

It's...it's a very invasive piece,and if it.
..if it's published,

it's gonna be very bad for
meand very bad for your network.

Just...um, Ian,let me call you back, mate.

Yeah, I did explain.

Just give us a minute, Di.DI: Yeah.

You saidyour door was always open, so...

You do realisethat the Sun is not my paper?

No, I know, but you spendan
awful lot of advertising in it.

Does not give meeditorial control, Helen.

But it could give you leverage?

Sounds to me likeyou're talking about gossiping.

People do not care about what's.
..It's more than a gossip column.

What's the name of this journalist?

Erm, her name is Donna Gillies.

It'll be printed when?

Tomorrow or the next day.

The Sun is Astley's paper.
Astley's my father's generation.

I don't really haveany relationship with him.

Don't like my chancesof
getting through to him either.

Not right now.It's fuckin' chaos out there.

Alright. Well, maybeyou could ask your father.

(LAUGHS) I don't like my chancesof
getting through to my father ever.

Let me see what I can do.

What time?

EVELYN: I came by at 11

and again at two.

And I rang several timesduring the day.

KAY: Did you leave a note?

Under your door.

(SIGHS)

Could we...

..could we try and ring Morrisnow, please?

It's not like he's gonna be asleep.

Oh! It's too late!

GEOFF: Darling.We can put in a call.

By the time the share market opens,

we'll be at the mercyof
whatever's happened overseas.

KAY: You told me that shares
werethe safest place for my savings.

GEOFF: Those shares were a gift.
KAY: They started as a gift.

But I added to them.

Any money I had, I put in there.

EVELYN: Geoff?

A hand, please.

(PUTS GLASS DOWN)

(SIGHS)

I last spoke to Morris at 4pm

just to see if there was
any wayto authorise the sale.

He told me Kay sold those
sharesseveral months ago.

GEOFF: She's upset.She's
lost thousands of dollars.

EVELYN: She hasn't lost anything!

She's lying to our faces.

And it's not the first time.

I don't know what more I can do.

I need you to address it.

Not tonight.

Look at your daughter!

She's not herself.You need to say something.

Say what?

Nothing, darling.

(LAUGHS)

(SIGHS)

(CLEARS THROAT)

Darling?

Darling.

Listen.

If you...had troubles of...

..any description...

(SIGHS)..you would tell us?

Now, wouldn't you?

(KAY BREATHES SHAKILY)

Yes.

I do.

My savings... (SIGHS)

..that I was relying on, that I
putexactly where you told me to, Dad...

..they've been decimated!

Alright.

It's alright.

(SIGHS)

It's alright.

I think you shouldstay here tonight.

Oh...Yes.

We'll call Morris first thing

and discuss our next steps.

OK?

(SIGHS)

Come on.

(LAUGHS)

It'll be alright.

(BELL DINGS)

(DOOR OPENS)(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)

(PAGES RUSTLE)

OK, it's not in today's paper.

This is good.

This is good. It gives us more time.

So Gerry felt our best optionwas
to see Donna face to face.

We'll just speak to her...

Um, I've...I've said everythingthat
I want to say to her.

Yeah, but if we takea
less confrontational approach,

appeal to her,get her to empathise...

HELEN: I'm not gonna grovel to her.

I can't even believethat you would suggest that.

Just trying to help.

(DOOR CLOSES)

She nearly ready?

NOELENE: Coming!Ah.

(LAUGHS) Wait till you see her.

You're gonna love it. (LAUGHS)

(GASPS) Oh!(LAUGHS)

Noels, what are you wearing?

I've got to goto the stock exchange.

It's a big story.London's plummeted.

The Dow's dropped 500 points.
New Zealand's about to open.

But, hey,

you're still gonnawear your skirts, though?

Aren't you?

Jen, can you give us a minute?Yes.

(LAUGHS) Alright.What's brought this on?

I'm trying something new.

I tell you what,I do like those shoes.

Let's just go.

Alright.

Morning.Noelene!

You look great.

New Zealand's openedand they've crashed too.

The drop on the Dowis
double the Great Depression.

There's already unconfirmed
reportsof suicides on Wall Street.

We're wanting to get one
of youout on the market floor

for the opening of trading.

(KNOCKS) Hi.

Um, do you have a minute?

Sorry. If we want to make opening,
we really need to leave soon.

It's just five minutes.

Yeah, sure. Come in.

Take a...take a seat.

Is everything alright?

Um...

..I know there's beensome personal...

..details about youthat have spread, and...

..there's a chancethey might have come from me.

Not on purpose. I'm not a gossip.

Um, but...um, there...there was a moment

where I wasn't thinkingand
I might have told someone...

..about your surname.

Who?

Evelyn Walters.

Mrs Walters, um, she would

book me for special events,just sometimes,

and...and she'd make me drinks,and.
..and we'd talk, and I...

..I stopped going because I.
..I realised that sh...

..she might not be that trustworthy.

What exactly did you say?

Uh...

..well, once, she was asking, um,

whether your familieswould
want you to get engaged,

and I didn't think anything of it,so I just said,

"Helen's not that closewith her family."

And then I, um...

..yeah, said about your
last nameand your sister...

Cheryl, can you call Evelyn Waltersright
now and explain to her what...

I'm gonna go talk to her myself.

Sorry, but if we don't
leavepretty much right now...

You're gonna have totake a reporter.

No! The other reporters have gone.
I'm really sorry.

(PHONES RING)

Ooh! Someone's been shopping at DJs.
Very fancy, Noelene.

(LAUGHS)

What?

We should get some interviews here

while they're all headingto
and from the trading floor.

ROB: They all brokers?

Most of them.Bit young, aren't they?

Yeah. They're really young.
That's part of the story.

These men have only everknown
the market to go up and up.

Excuse me! If I could just
ask youfor a minute of your time.

We're from News at S...

Sir. Could I just ask youfor two minutes?

We are int...Mate. Mate. Uh, Rob Rickards.

News at Six.

Are we good?

Um, are...are you worried about

what's gonna happen today?

Nah. I think the, uh, panic'sa
bit overblown, to be honest.

Overblown? So you're not nervousafter
what's happened on Wall Street?

Oh, look, our fundamentals
areway better than Wall Street.

If I was an overseas investor,

I'd be wanting to buyAustralian
gold right now, so, uh...

..I think we're gonna seea huge day for gold.

Yeah, I've gota lot of sell calls already,

so I do thinkit's gonna be a choppy day.

And for a young bloke,such as yourself,

you haven't ever really seen a crash.

Oh, I've seen my shareof ups and downs.

Um, and I'm pretty surewe're
gonna end today on an up.

(EXCHANGE BELLS RING)MAN: And there.

The commencement of trading

on what stands to bethe most consequential day

on the Australian Stock
Exchangepossibly since the 1920s.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)(COMMOTION ON RADIO)

As you can hear, there is an...Oh. I'll go.

..immediate frenzy on the floor.

Stockbrokers are reporting

that most of their buying
ordershave been cancelled

and instead the move is to sell.

HELEN: Evelyn.

You are a fucking bitch.

Helen.I mean, I knew that you were low.

But I didn't thinkeven you would stoop this low.

I didn't thinkthat even you were capable of that.

I'm sorry. I don't knowwhat you're referring to.

HELEN: You know exactlywhat I'm referring to!

Your wife has taken themost
intimate and private details,

my psychiatric history, and she
hasleaked them to a gossip columnist!

That's absurd.HELEN: Deliberately.

You have done nothing with your life

except stand in the shadowsand
try and tear everyone down,

and the fact that you both
standon this moral high ground,

looking down your noseand judging everyone!

I want you to knowthat
I know exactly who you are,

and I know exactlywhat you both stand for.

If people are questioningyour
psychiatric state, Helen,

it's hardly a surprise!

I'm...I'm sure you can appreciateit's a very...

Now, Dale...distressing situation.

..it's time for youto remove
yourself from our property

and to controlthat clearly unwell woman.

EVELYN: Thank you.

(SIGHS)

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

I've got one last idea.

I think we should go see Donna alone.

Gerry said if we promise toprioritise
her for future stories...

I...I don't want herin our lives, Dale.

But we could offer her a major story.

What if we offer her...

..an engagement?

What about an exclusiveon our engagement?

Was that...was that...was that your proposal?

(LAUGHS) It's...

..it's not...

..this is nothow I wanted it to go, but...

..we could offer hersomething really valuable.

Dale, there are some things
thatI just would never want to trade.

(DOOR CLOSES)

ROB: (ON TV) Although the crisisaffects
everyone on this floor,

it's the small investorswho
claim they'll suffer the most.

MAN: (ON TV)The brokers are too worried about

looking after theirbig
institutional clients that...

..who wants to buyMY small amount of shares?

ROB: From a very demoralisedstock
market trading floor...

And we're back in five.
..this has been Rob Rickards...

..four...News at Six.

Internationally, it'salready
being called Black Monday

Both of us?No, mate. Just with me.

the trend is on Thursday.

Right. Yes.

I agree. But there's got to
besome degree of bounce, right?

You c...

Don't...

Yes.

Yeah, alright. I appreciate that.

(PHONE CLATTERS)

Am I interrupting?

So now we're being polite?

It's interesting.

Is all this as bad as it seems?

For me personally or for the world?

HELEN: For you personally.

Well...

..half my backers have deserted me.

The other half... (SIGHS)

..I'm promising there's gonna
bea rebound, which is bullshit,

and they know it.

So...

And are you still my boss?

(LAUGHS)

Yes.

I believe I am,maybe for the next 48 hours or so.

I don't know. Maybe less.

Oh, I did get hold of Astley for you.

He doesn't like to interveneeditorially,
but what he HAS said is

essentially,he's gonna make a couple of calls,

and that's all I can get for you now.

Sorry.

I actually think that my...

What would you call it,my decimation?

..my decimationsort of, uh, helped things...

(LAUGHS)..you know?

The only reason that Astleycalled
me back was 'cause, uh...

..I'm fucked.

Well, I appreciate it. (LAUGHS)

Yeah.

Well, we'll know soon after midnight.

That's whenthe first print run lands. (SIGHS)

Help yourself to a drink.

You might want to fix me one too.

(PAGES RUSTLE)

(SIGHS)

CHERYL: I'm definitely more a.
..a Material Girl person...

GERRY: No!..than a Live to Tell person.

GERRY: Live to Tell'sa better-structured song.

No, but I do...yeah, but I thinkit's
a better album than the last.

(LAUGHS) No.I...

What do you think? (LAUGHS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Erm, Cheryl,could you just give us five?

Oh, yes.Yeah. Thank you.

Well?

Did you get onto Donna?

Well...yeah, I suggested it to Helen,

but it's not the strategythat she went with.

Look, if you want meto put in a call, I...I can.

It's too late.

Are you OK?

Today wasn't my finest hourwith Helen.

We need you in two minutes, Gerry.

Yeah.

Can I give you a call later?

You're heading home, right?

(CLEARS THROAT)

I don't know what I'm doing.

Well, why don't youcome see the show?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(PUTS LIGHTER DOWN)

(HANDBRAKE CLICKS)

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

GEOFF: Darling?

We know it's late.

We got through to Morris.

I'm afraid it's not good news.
We need to discuss it.

(SIGHS)

Goodness sake! This is ridiculous!

We own the place.

Kay?

(DOOR CLOSES)

Kay, darling?

Hello?

Kay?

Darling?

Darling, I'm coming in.

Jesus!

Kay!

Call an ambulance.

Darling. Call an ambulance!

Oh, no, no, no.

No! No, no.

Darling. Darling! Kay!

Kay!

Kay, it's Daddy.

It's Daddy, darling.Come on, darling. Come on.

Come on.

Come on.EVELYN: Uh, ambulance.

(EMOTIONALLY) Uh, it's my daughter.
I think she might have overdosed.

Darling.

Open your eyes. Open your eyes.

Look at me. Look, look, look, look.

How muchdo you think you'll have left?

Personally.

Millions?

(SIGHS)

(LAUGHS)

Oh, I think you're gonna be fine.

Yeah, you too.

Well, you don't knowwhat the story's about.

Yeah, that's true.

You never asked.

You were the only one who didn't.

Well, if history'staught us anything, Helen,

if you got something to say,

you do not wait for an invitation.

Do you want me to ask?

(INHALES)

I think it's gonna say...

..I was in...

..a mental institution.

And I was treated for schizophrenia.

Shit.

HELEN: Mmm.

Well, full credit to Donna.

I'd buy that paper.

Yeah, me too.

Is it true?

I was treated for schizophrenia.

I'm not schizophrenic.

I was treated for manic depression.

I was just...

..stuck in this borderlandof
neurosis and psychosis.

(SIGHS) Fuck me.

What 16-year-old isn't?

(SNIFFS)

It's still two hours.

I just checked too.

(SIGHS)

GERRY:Marriage ever been discussed before?

Not specifically, no.

Does Helen want to get married?

Doesn't everyone?

Do you?Yeah.

Of course.

Well, I highly recommend it.

I love being married.

But you're not in a...

..you don't...

Spit it out.

Your marriage is not conventional.

It's not a...

No, but it's much better for us.

I don't think marriageshould ever stop a person

exploring who they are.

Luckily,Carla thinks the same, so...

She doesn't take issuewith you sleeping with men?

No.

Hm.

Carla makes the mostout of this situation.

Don't you worry about that.

Helen and I are...

..it's just us.

Ye...yeah.I...I kind of got that, yeah.

But...Yeah?

..last year...

..oh, something did happenwith
a cameraman at work.

It was very brief, but...

Did you want it to be more?

I wanted to be with Helen.

You think I'm deluding myself.

(LAUGHS) No.

No. I see how much you love her.

(LAUGHS)

(SIGHS)

I feel like the way I
lovedoesn't fit in anywhere.

And...

..I've been ashamed of
thatfor a really long time.

But I love Helen.

And I think that's all that matters.

But maybe if things were different...

..maybe if I'd never met her...(SIGHS)

..it would be someone else.

But so much of what I feel

comes from how I feel about her,

so...I don't know.

I'm probably not making any sense.
No, no, you're making perfect sense.

And if that's how you feel,I think...

..you need to correctthat God-awful proposal.

Apart from anything else, I make
afantastic wedding MC if you need it.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

I'm sorry.

(PAGES RUSTLE)

CHARLES: OK. Page five.

Six and seven.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Very...comprehensive. (LAUGHS)

Thank you.

JOHN FARNHAM: Take holdof
the wheels and turn them around

Take the pressure down

Someone turned... (DOOR CLOSES)

The pressure on

I called your nameand you were gone

And you were gone

And I was trapped like
a prisonerin this lonely town

I'm gonna let things slide

Until the pressure comes...

(STOPS SONG)

Hey.

Hi.

It's not there.

That's good.

Sorry I'm so late.

Come on. Let's go to bed.

Helen.

I am so sorry,

for bringing up...

..marriage today like it was a fix.

I know we have our complexities.

(LAUGHS)

Maybe we're not like...

..everyone else.

But...

(SIGHS) ..but I love you.

I do love you too.

(SNIFFS)

HELEN: Let's enjoy the worldpremiere
of Australia's year.

We are a young nation,

a nation that typically
shies awayfrom grand gestures.

Australia is not a nation!

It's a crime scene!

HELEN: I'd like to give you

a dedicated interview.

MAN: I should have told you.

You're not the only one
herethat finds me, uh...urgent?

Hi, Helen.

Dale, Tim is here.

Feel like everything that I dois insignificant

and you're both ashamed of me.

The disease of the modern world,
casting themselves as victims.

Do you know whereGran's engagement ring is?

I know exactly where it is, darling.
I can come first thing.

I just wasn't surethis was gonna happen.
