All language subtitles for The Genie From Down Under s01e11 School Daze

Make my wish come true.

Dream on.

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

Ah, yeah, all right.

Dad,

we're free!

Right now, there is a letter waiting for
me at my home in England.

In this letter, there is an invitation
asking me to join Marcia Huntley and her

friends to celebrate Marcia's birthday.

This party is not just a party.

It's the party.

Everyone who's anyone from there.

And anyone who isn't someone won't be
there.

Being a someone with a genie, I could
wish myself to win something like that.

But I don't want to become it because
the heat has actually melted her brain.

And now she thinks she likes it here in
Australia.

Oh, it's so hot. I wish I had a fan.

I guess you hold it for me.

The Penelope Towns live here?

No, she lives at Towns Hall, Wiltshire,
at Janine Bloom.

Lady Diana Towns?

She's in the house, but she's got a
headache because her brain's melted.

You know, the heat.

Dad,

you know how Marcy's having a birthday
party?

Yeah. Do you have to be special to have
a birthday party?

No, of course not. Everybody has a
birthday party.

So when's my birthday?

You were born about 1 ,500 years ago. I
can't remember the exact date.

Flip on that old hack, we'll never even
have one birthday party.

I'm 5 ,000 years old and I've never had
a birthday party.

Miss Penelope?

Baz? Will you come inside, please?

Penelope? Baz?

This is Mr. Lestrange.

He's with the education department.

I was just explaining how we hadn't
expected to stay in Australia for so

and therefore we've completely
overlooked your education.

But now that we're here, we'd be very...

keen for you to attend the local school.

Yes.

How old are you, Baz?

I was born about 1 ,500 years ago. He's
not quite that old.

He's actually eight.

Eight.

When did you say you were born, Baz?

First of April.

Oh, that's a couple of days away.

Having a bit of a party, are you?

We were going to have a bit of a party.
It was actually going to be a bit of a

surprise party.

And where have you been going to school
up until now?

I've never been... We've been travelling
a fair bit over the last couple of

years and... Well, luckily, there's a
great little school just down the road a

bit. I'm sure it'll be able to
accommodate both of you.

Oh, marvellous.

Isn't that good news? Very good.

Take it.

See, Baz, will you? I don't think he's
ever been in school before. In fact, I

don't think he knows too much about
anything.

All right, let's talk about history.

Who knows anything about the Aboriginals
who lived around here?

All right, Baz, seeing you just joined
us.

There used to be thousands of them up
and down the river. They were the

people. Barkanji means people of the
river.

Anyway, there was this kid who lived
here about 700 years ago. He was the

farthest runner.

Faster than Winfrey Christie and faster
than Cassie Freeman.

He kept talking for nearly three hours.

But she just said she'd never heard
anything like it. She wants Baz to write

book.

Ted, you're stoned, Dad. He wants me to
do a CD wrong about it.

Oh, Marcy, what am I going to do?

What are you going to do about what?

The social event of the year.

of course.

See?

Mummy's brain has melted. It's oozing
out of her ears.

How was her first day at school,
darling?

Oh, it was terrible, Mummy. I can't bear
to talk about it.

I just wish you'd let me go back to
England so I could get a decent

What's it say they wrong?

Right, darling.

If that's what you wish.

Mummy, you won't be sorry.

I'll study and work ever so hard.

I'll be top of the form.

Well, that certainly would be a change.

Darling, I'd quite like to stay here, so
Marcia will have to go with you.

I'll make the bus and plane
reservations.

Bus and plane?

Well, how else are you going to get to
England?

Magic.

It's like I'm going to Marcia's party
after all.

And this time I think we'll stay in
England for a long, long, long time.

Birthday party.

Well, if you want, you can stay here
with Mummy.

Oh, gee, Pen. I'd really appreciate
that. You can come with me.

Oh.

Look, something's come up, and I've got
to go away for a few days.

I was wondering if you'd mind looking
after Baz for me. Oh, I'd love to.

I feel as though he's sort of becoming a
son I never had.

Really? He's never had a mother. I mean,
if you were to be that mother, that'd

be... Well, I mean, of course he's had a
mother.

When he was born, he had a mother.

That was a long time ago.

About 1 ,500 years.

I don't know what I'm going to wear to
Martha's party.

Wish I had a catalogue from Harrods. I
can do that.

Sometimes I feel as though I've met him
in another life. That's possible. I

mean, where were you 3 ,000 years ago? I
was in China.

I mean, well, I was in China, which is
silly.

Well, it wasn't actually called China
then.

What I'm trying to say is that I find
you very easy to be.

But it wasn't saying I was behind her.
It must be and I were in England right

now, riding jumpy across the field.

I can do that.

Sorry, but where they're at, where
they're coming from, where they're going

I find it very easy to be with you too.

Moppy? I beg your pardon?

I did not wish to be on my toy dump.

Why can't you imagine it right?

I'm looking for Penelope Townes.

You knew this was going to happen.

Heidi offers an education that most
girls would be proud to receive,

to reap the benefit of such an education
one has to attend.

If you choose not to come to school, I
can't do anything for you, can I?

So, if you don't wish to go to this
school... But I do.

Is that a wish? No, if you don't... If
you don't want to go to this

school, there are many others who would
like to take your place.

Please, I do want to go to school here.

Please, I'll work really hard.

All right, then.

There'll be a special examination
tomorrow for you and Tanya Scrimshaw.

She, too, has been away for several
weeks.

If you pass this exam, we'll take you
back.

If you don't... Don't you worry.

Miss Penelope will be studying non -stop
from now until the exam, won't you, my

dear?

Everybody, if anybody, will be there.

And you won't be there.

You'll be studying so you can be ducks
to the school, so you can be a somebody

when you grow up.

To be?

Brilliant.

Marcia hasn't invited me to her party.

Just because I hate Marcia doesn't mean
she shouldn't invite me to her party.

That's right. If you only invited your
friends to your party, the only one

turn up.

Exactly.

Anyway. She's obviously forgotten.

Obviously. I wish she'd remember.

My dear Sophie, what a surprise.

I was wondering if you got my
invitation.

Invitation? To my party.

It's your birthday. I forgot all about
it. Happy birthday.

Thank you. I sent you an invitation, but
apparently some of the mail hasn't been

getting through.

I do hope you can make it.

I think I'm free tonight.

Not studying?

No. I'm not worried. I've got a special
tutor.

You'll need more help than I can give
you. If you just keep quiet, perhaps...

No.

No, will anyone be escorting you
tonight?

Nearly everyone is bringing someone.

But you don't have to if you don't want
to. If you haven't got anyone, I mean...

It doesn't matter. I don't think Gemma
is taking anyone.

Gemma isn't coming.

I'll probably bring someone.

Who? I don't know.

I've had several offers.

I suppose I'll have to make up my mind.

Oh, no, not bubbles.

Shut up.

Penelope, so good to see you.

Bye, Penelope. So good to see you again.
I'm so glad you're able to come

tonight. Thank you.

Both of you, I'm so happy. We've got so
much to talk about.

Her ladyship is currently abroad.

Oh.

Your mother simply wouldn't recognise me
now. I'm a completely changed man.

It's true, after she rejected me at the
altar, I wanted to spawn them for a few

months. Depressed is perhaps the better
word. Actually, I was suicidally

depressed. But then I went into therapy,
and I realized that rejection wasn't an

ending. It was actually beginning.

You see, I had actually suppressed my
masculinity.

Now that I've recovered my masculinity,
I realized it wasn't me that she was

rejecting at all, but just a shadow of
my real self. Now I seldom misplace my

car keys, and rejection doesn't faze me
at all. It simply doesn't affect me.

Yes, yes, Bubbles, that's just super.
You must excuse me. I've got so much

homework to do.

Yes, absolutely.

Yes.

What about your homework?

Aren't you even going to try?

Why? You've got all the answers.

What sort of idiot do you take me for?

Oh, just an average idiot. You go
through life wishing your way out of

everything.

I wish I had something to wear for the
party.

It's individual.

Anyone who is anyone is wearing this
dress.

I like it.

That's what I like to see.

Somebody working hard.

Yes, mostly.

I'm really enjoying it, too.

I'd love to. When is it? Tomorrow.

I won't tell a soul.

Are you going to cancel my surprise
birthday party?

Oh, I'd love to.

When and where is it? That's my secret.

Howdy doody, darling.

I hope it's only Conrad changing the
tyre.

Sure, you'd have to pay me, bud.

Oh, I was rather wishing you'd take me
just because you wanted to.

Okay, okay, I was just having a lend
here.

You want to borrow some money?

No, no, I was pulling your leg, you
know.

See if you want the top penny for what.

I wish we were there right now.

Yeah, let's party!

Friend Conrad.

G'day.

Love your duds, mate.

Thank you.

As I was saying, I was riding with
Princess Anne the other day. Oh, yeah, I

know. Don't you feel sorry for her?
She's stuck in a family full of no

You know, the royals. I was reading
about them in a magazine.

Excuse me for a moment.

See you, Pen.

What magazine?

I was reading some magazine.

Irresistible English gentleman.

Tommy was having tea with the Queen the
other day and she didn't say that she

was worried.

Yes, I know. It's a real pity you do
have such high expectations of these

people. Are you making fun of me?

Really, Apple? What do you mean?

Guy. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were
the Apple guy, but instead you're the

guy.

I'm sorry. I was just joking.

Would you care to dance? Have you ever
been in front?

And I'll be so brave of you to come out
when you've got such a big exam

tomorrow. Well, it's a matter of knowing
what's important.

And I think friends are, and when I've
got friends... He's quite irresistible,

isn't he?

They're all after him.

What can I say? I do great magic.

I think her brain must be melting.

It must be the pressure of her exam.

I wish she was Australian again. That
might cool things down a bit.

I just

want to make my life hell, don't you?

Do you mean your every wish is my
command?

Oh, sure.

That's what you say, but when it's...
Hey, Ben, is this what happens when you

break out?

Just when the party was getting
interesting, you want to split.

What a wipeout, man.

You didn't get me.

I wish you'd forget about everything
that's happened tonight, and then I wish

you'd go home.

What did you say?

Don't push, Tucker.

We're in the bush. This is food.

What are you coming for? Oh, clean
yourself, huh?

Are you nervous?

No, not really.

I am.

If I don't pass the exam, I'll lose my
scholarship.

And then I'll have to go and work in the
factory with my mother.

Don't worry.

You'll be fine.

Good morning, girls.

You have three hours.

You may start now.

Oh, you can't have my opal.

Looks like I've got a new master.

Good luck.

Time's up.

Thank you, girl.

I just know I'm going to fail.

My mother's going to be so disappointed.

Don't worry.

You'll be okay.

Do you know what I wish?

I wish that we both pass with top marks.

This is a very, very serious situation.

You've both scored top marks.

You have both achieved perfect passes.
Neither of you has made one mistake.

It's almost impossible.

Well, I suppose we studied hard and...
That's why I know that you must have

cheated.

believe that you can both achieve such
results without cheating.

Therefore, you leave me with no
alternative.

Please, I don't know what happened.

I'm sorry I got 100%. It won't happen
again.

It certainly won't happen again at this
school.

You're both expelled.

You don't need to look at me like that.

It's your fault too.

I beg your pardon.

Tanya didn't cheat.

I was the one that cheated.

I copied her answers.

Yes, that makes sense.

If I get you out of this, will you do
something for me?

Well...

I

don't quite understand what happened
here, but Tanya, we shall, of course, be

proud to have you continue with us.

Penelope, I'm touched by your honesty in
this matter, though I'm inclined to let

you sit the exam again.

Oh, thank you very much.

Mummy, we're back.

Baz, where are you?

There's no one inside.

Don't worry, we'll turn up. Let's go in
and have a nice cup of tea.

disappointed.

I promised him a birthday party and you
see what happens.

He'll probably run away from home. He'll
be so upset.

Happy birthday, Dad.

It's the first party for both of us.

Happy birthday, son.

Thanks. You want to come and meet my new
friends?

Yeah.

Baz told me that neither of you had ever
had a birthday party before, so we

thought this would be the least we could
do.

I don't know what to say.

Let's party!

You don't look like you've ever had an
outback experience.

Hey. Hey, am I right?

It's not exactly the party of the year.

And everyone who's here isn't especially
anyone.

But I think that everyone deserves one
day when they feel special.

And if it isn't on your birthday, well
then, when is it?

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

I'm the master, you're my genie. You
belong to me.

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 on.

Dream on.

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

Ah, yeah, all right.
