I've observed a lot of masters throughout history.

Now I want to go back home where I can be free.

Then you come along with the opal in your hand.

Now your every wish is my command. That's right.

Genie, genie from down under.

Make my wish come true.

Scream on.

Teeny, teeny, from down under.

I wish you'd do what I want you to.

Ah, yeah, all right.

Teeny, from down under.

Dad, we're free!

As you can see, I'm stranded in the outback of Australia and I'm quite calm

about it.

I've stopped screaming.

I don't need to get upset because...

I've got a magic opal, and I can just wish us back to Wiltshire whenever I

choose. Any time.

Just like that.

That's why I'm so calm.

Ross!

You whispered?

I've got the opal, I'm the master, and I'm going to wish us all back to

civilization right now.

Calm down, mate. You're in Australia now. I am calm. Can't you see that?

What's all this shouting about?

Nellie, darling.

Is there something wrong?

Well, I... Yes, there is.

I really want to go home to England right now.

Don't you, Mummy?

Well, actually, no.

I quite like it here.

Let's go see inside, darling.

This will be a perfect room for you, Penelope.

It's got a lot of potential.

Don't you think?

My lips are sealed as to the reasons why, but her ladyship's not in a hurry

go back to England.

I can't divulge the details, but a certain gentleman's heart was broken.

Mum's the word, but she left him stranded at the altar.

Now, I can't say too much, but it did cause a big scandal.

Oh, look at this mess.

It'll take me weeks to clean up around here.

Now, I didn't say anything about her ladyship's troubles in England, did I?

Yes, you did.

He said your mum's lips were sealed when she got stranded at the altar.

Now she can't talk any more.

Bruce, Buzz, pay attention, please.

Now, I've changed my mind. We shan't be going back to England just yet. Mummy

likes it here, but I've still got the open wall. I'm still the master, and I

wish to clear the room of all this useless mess and rubbish.

I can do that.

Yes, that was vaguely amusing.

I'm the master and I'm terribly calm.

Positively serene.

Oh, Mr. Nellope, the mess around here. No amount of polish will make this place

clean.

I wish everything in this room would sparkle.

This Australian polish packs a punch. I wish you'd tell you that and all at

once.

I have just about had enough of you two.

I've got the opal and I'm the master. That's what you told me. In fact, you

me you were my slave.

Well, I think it's about time you started behaving like a slave.

I think it's time you started showing some respect for your master.

Mummy, you don't understand. He's not human.

Just because he's Australian doesn't mean he's not human.

Penelope, I'm shocked.

I mean, really, how can you justify such rude behaviour?

OK, mate.

Is that a black opal? They're very rare.

Mind your own business.

And keep your hands to yourself.

Penelope, will you mind your tongue?

I'm sorry, Bruce, I don't know what to say.

I found it at home, in the attic.

Let me see.

Come on, Penny, give your mum a gander.

Give it to me, Bethelope.

I wish you wouldn't ask me that, Mummy.

I'm not asking you, I'm telling you.

I'm nearly 14 years old, and I wish you wouldn't tell me what to do.

All right, then, I won't tell you what to do.

I'll leave it up to your own discretion, now that you're so mature.

when you've learned some manners.

You've rubbed the opal in your hand. Your every wish is our command.

How quaint.

If there's anything I can do for your ladyship, any service I could perform...

Oh, please.

If wishes came true, I'd wish for a hot, soothing... Oh, down the way, everyone.

Down the way.

Morty, what a lovely surprise.

Oh.

Don't mind this for me, Morty.

Maybe we can have it back when you think she's learned her lesson. And that

won't be soon enough.

Come along.

You've grabbed the opening here.

Oh, Blakely's heart. What did the young dude come up with?

A cup of tea and a foot massage. That's all I'd wish for.

the opal back now.

I've really learned my lesson.

You heard your mother. But it's my lucky charm.

Please.

Oh, please, Monty. I love you and I'll be sweet forever.

Such a first.

I wish we'd left the wretched thing back home where you found it.

Oh, never mind. It'll turn up.

I haven't got the opal. I'm not the master and I'm not very calm.

Where are you going?

We're on a holiday now.

I'll get it back.

I'll stone it. England have it sent over, and then we'll see who's sorry.

Good thinking. You're never alone with a phone.

There's no phone, is there?

Yes, there is. There's a phone about 50 miles down the road. You can't miss it.

How have we got here?

Don't be sad. We're stupid friends.

I'm stuck here.

I'll never get out of this hellhole.

Give it a few years, you might learn to love the place.

What is there possibly to love... Yeah, no worries, mate.

Yeah,

well, look, mate, look, I've got to go, all right? Yeah, love your work.

How you going, mate?

I'm Otto von Meister.

Bruce, this is my son, Baz.

Hi.

G'day.

Well, well, well, what have we here?

G'day.

I'm Otto von Meister.

Von Meister to us.

How do you do?

This is mine, if you, Conrad.

May I present to you her ladyship, Lady Tone, and her daughter.

Miss Penelope Tones.

My pleasure to... Hang on, did you say towns?

As in towns, downs, towns?

Yeah.

Quite out of the blue, my daughter inherited this property.

Good Lord!

Ah, there, our tourist.

First ever from Moscow.

That's Trish. All those who need to use the bathroom.

She's vice -president and charge of client liaison.

Where are our manners?

Is it all right to use the bathroom?

Well, of course. Go right ahead.

As promised in the brochure, one comfort stop with inside bathroom facility.

Thank you. Thank you. This is the happiest day of my life.

Don't worry about it, mate.

It's all part of the von Meister Outback experience.

There you go.

Stop shoving.

Love your work too, mate.

Hello.

G'day. Expecting a bit of a cold snap, eh?

Yes.

I mean, no. I mean, I came away in a bit of a hurry and I didn't pack any summer

clothes.

Actually, all our clothes are still in England, and I was wondering if I might

borrow your phone to ring home, you know, for a change of clothes.

I'll have to charge you. Oh, of course.

Would you mind if I paid you when my clothes arrived?

You see, I left my purse in the other clothe.

I like to conclude my unique outback experience with a night at Town's Downs.

It's sort of a climax to cap off the whole adventure, you understand.

It's always been deserted up until now.

So, is it all right with you if we carry on?

Oh, yes, do.

Carry on.

I knew you'd understand.

The moment I clapped eyes on you, I thought, she is a genuine lady.

A true English jacaranda.

Excuse me.

And in the vase, there should be an opal. Could you make sure that gets

too?

Yes, but don't forget the opal. It's one of a kind and quite priceless.

I mean...

To me, it's not really worth anything.

More of a lucky charm.

Who are you speaking to, Miss Penelope?

Oh, it is the removalist, Marcy. I'm getting them to send over our summer

clothes. Oh, you'd better speak to them.

Hello? Hello?

Can you hear me? That's all fixed, then.

I'm getting them to send over our summer clothes.

Excellent. I'll make an announcement and everyone will be stoked.

Mr. Williams?

Oh, it's Mrs. Williams' leg.

Oh, dear.

We'd be honoured, nah, thrilled, if you'd join us for the barbecue tonight.

We'd be delighted.

See you then.

Great to have yous here.

You're beautiful people.

They stole your great -great -grandfather's opal. His last words.

know. A curse on Sir Claude Townes. That's right.

They ruined us.

We were rich.

We should have owned all this, not them.

Townsville should have been for Meisterberg.

Not only was it priceless, but that black opal was our lucky charm.

Ever since that old lowlife, this scumbag town stole it.

It's been downhill for our family.

It's their fault they're going to work like slaves.

It's their fault some of us have to work like slaves.

Mr. Williams said he'd ring back when it's airborne.

Get a move on, Uncle.

Keep your shirt on. Come on!

Do you think I'm too young for him, Mossy?

Yes, my dear.

You're much too young for that peg.

Don't tell me you find him attractive.

Oh, no, it's just that I'm nearly 14, and, well, of course I don't think he's

attractive.

I was just wondering, that's all.

Remember how he used to yell at us and trick Vikings and kick dogs? Oh, and

wasn't the worst.

Worse than the Vikings? He used to pillage and plunder?

Hands -on march made him look like kids on Red Cordial.

He was vicious.

Vicious? Yeah, much worse than the Vikings.

Do you think he's just as me?

Well, there's no doubt they're related. I'm scared, Dad.

Don't be scared.

What if they get the opal again?

Well, we can't let that happen, right?

Right. I like it here.

No paying guests, no nosy neighbours, no one who knows me.

How old do you think he is?

Why don't you ask him?

Mummy, what are you saying?

That I should just ask him straight out?

I'd be so embarrassed.

I think I liked him or something.

Oh, hello.

I didn't see you there.

Here I am.

Yes, I can see that now.

You're right there.

Yep.

Any word from the removal people?

Have they called back yet?

I'll let you know as soon as I call.

Thank you.

Can't wait to get into those summer clothes.

That opal... Now, go on. You go first.

That opal you were talking about, does it look anything like this?

How extraordinary.

Yes, it does look a little bit similar.

What a coincidence.

Yeah, my great -great -grandfather had that opal. Used to be his lucky charm.

Really? How about that? I never realised how hot it was going to be down here.

We left in such a hurry.

How old are you?

Old enough to know better and young enough to do it again.

Yes. Me too.

Listen, Uncle, I know where the black opal is.

What, Meister Black Opal? Yeah, that pommy chick's having her brought over

her luggage.

Like I kissed you!

That opal is priceless.

We'll steal it.

I stole it from us, we'll steal it back from them.

We'll set history right.

Our time has come. Two wrongs will make a right. Right? Right.

Right.

Fantastic!

Step right up to your job seat.

There you go, mate.

Hang on.

Thank you, Boris.

And, uh, tell me, Boris, if I may be so bold.

What do you mean you're a vegetarian? What is the name of that cologne you're

wearing?

It's called...

It's a night on the walk.

Do you like it?

It must have been a very hot, smelly night.

That's a burnt sausage. And this is a burnt sausage. And that's a burnt

too. No, no, that's a burnt... I don't know what that is.

What a lovely balmy evening.

I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Tomorrow I shall take an early morning walk.

On your own?

Oh, yes, of course.

Here you go.

My uncle makes the best bangers.

Oh, gosh, yes.

They do look superb.

I've got some food for you, Pam.

You know, about charging you for that phone call, you know I was only joking.

Really? You were?

Oh, thank you.

I appreciate that.

No probs.

What? You know, no worries.

Oh.

Are you going to eat that or what?

You know, I was thinking, you know, how old you were.

Oh, well, I don't think age really matters.

I think maturity's more important.

Oh, for sure. It was just my uncle was asking. I said you were 18.

Oh, gosh, well, I'm not quite 18 yet.

How old are you?

16.

Isn't that amazing?

So am I.

Have you a melody you know best?

Well, arthritis comes and goes.

Hem it, and I will join in.

Oh, a melody? Oh, no, Boris, I don't sing no more.

I do.

Oh, Boris,

you are a one.

So what's so special about your sable anyway?

Oh, my good luck charm.

Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?

When you say beautiful, me?

Has anyone ever told me? Well, yes. I mean, not that I... How beautiful you

After all, beauty is just deep skin.

telling you. You can't trust him. He's only after your opal.

Trust? You telling me about trust? Well, that's very funny.

You don't know the von Meisters like I know the von Meisters. They're cunning

and mean and bad.

When I want your opinion, I'll ask for it.

He'll walk right through to get to that opal.

I rather thought that was more your style.

Message for you, Penn. Your luggage will be arriving by freight plane, 8am

Wednesday. Oh, thank you, Comet. That's wonderful news.

I can't wait to get... To get into those summer clothes.

No worries.

Coming back out for some food?

No, I'm not hungry.

I can't believe you've fallen for him.

Don't be ridiculous. I have not fallen for him.

But you're good friends, that's all.

Anyway, the opal will be here 8 a .m. Wednesday morning.

For you make the most of your freedom, while it lasts.

What's that, Dad?

That's the end of our freedom, son.

That's Penelope's plane.

Penelope, wake up. France just arrived with the opal.

Penelope, I think my alarm.

It's two hours early.

Quick, Penelope, before they get the opal.

Who gets the opal?

Goodness sake, hold on.

What's up? What are you doing?

I'm looking through.

What?

You've had your advice locked.

Who would have done that? Someone who wants to steal my summer dresses, that's

who. Where's Mummy?

She's on her morning stroll.

You keep looking, all right? It's got to be here. I know it. For what I'm

looking?

Look, Jack, have you found anything yet, Conrad?

Conrad!

I've never seen anyone in the pants of my life. Get away from my luggage, you

traitor! Traitor? I don't know what you're talking about.

You made me come here, didn't you? You deceived me like this.

I thought we were friends, you rat!

Stay back.

Penelope's pendant. What's going on?

Well, might you ask? It's outrageous.

That opal is ours.

It was stolen from us by your ancestor.

What? Cormac tricked me. He tried to steal it from me. Please, Mummy.

You've rubbed the opal in your head.

You might as well hang on to it. It could be worth a bit.

Here you are, Penelope. I think you've learned your lesson.

piece of jewelry.

Thank you, Mummy.

It could be worse.

I've got the opal back.

I'm the master.

I'm very calm.

I've got a broken heart, and so I'm feeling dreadfully mature.

Maybe being mature is not all it's cracked up to be.

I'm the genie, you're the master. That's right. I'm the master, you're my genie.

You belong to me. Yes.

I've served a lot of masters throughout history.

Now I want to go back home where I can be free.

Then you come along with the opal in your hand.

Now your every wish is my command. That's right.

Genie, genie, from down the... Make my wish come true.

Dream on.

Genie, genie from down under.

I wish you'd do what I want you to.

Oh, yeah, all right.

Genie from down under.
