All language subtitles for The Genie From Down Under s02e11 The Heart of Country & Western

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 under.

Make my wish come true.

Dream on.

Jeannie, Jeannie from down under.

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

Ah, yeah, all right.

Jeannie from down under.

Dad, we're free!

I can really understand Jane Eyre
because she's so much like me.

She's got brown hair, like me, and she
wears pastel lemons and blues, which are

my favourite colours too.

Jane Eyre is a fictitious character.
It's book review day today, and I'm

Not that I'm nervous or anything.

I don't find getting up in front of
everybody and speaking difficult at all.

Really, I'm completely and utterly
confident.

Are you nervous or something?

It's like a sauna in there.

Nervous? Look how ridiculous.

I've got the opal if I need it.

What are you doing there?

Oh, just standing by for a wish.

If Jane Eyre were alive today, I think I
can safely say she'd be a size 8, like

me, and she'd probably be wearing
Versace and be into hip -hop, just like

Thank you.

Thank you, Miss Humphrey. That was a
very personal look at a great novel.

Now, Penelope Townes will speak to us
about Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist.

Miss Times.

I wish I was out of here.

I said out of here, not out back.

Anyway, I don't need to give a speech to
prove I know everything about Charles

Darwin. Charles Dickens.

Oh, Mummy, I'm sorry, I can explain
everything.

No, Penelope, I've finally decided.

Charles Dickens was right when he said I
won't run from life challenges.

But face them head on.

Exactly. And I'm going to be that sort
of person.

Useful, creative.

I feel ready to embrace life again.

Snyder was a setback. We were going to
be married, but he decided to join the

monastery instead.

Doesn't bother me anymore.

I'm not on the rebound. I'm reborn.

And if love ever comes my way again, I'm
going to grab it with both hands. Good

for you, my lady.

Good to see a public speaking problem
doesn't run in the family.

Woo

-ha!

G'day, Didy.

G'day, everybody.

Hello. Want to introduce you to Hank and
Marge, Homer and Nance.

They're the judges for the Townsville
Country and Western Music Talent Quest.

I'm just showing them a bit of the
country I call home.

The country I like to ride.

How y 'all doing?

I'm Hank the Yank. Hey, you got a great
country here, too.

Of course, your outback ain't near as
big as ours back home, but what the

You know, honey, I could not agree with
you more. I love this country, but if

you notice...

It is not as big as the one we got in
America.

Look, if you folks just want to relax,
I'll get you to the campsite real soon,

okay?

See you all later now. Bye -bye.

Yeah, so, Penn, you know, you want to
come watch me play at the Country Music

Fest? Oh, what do you play?

Oh, bass, a bit of vocals, you know. The
Townsville Country and Western Music

Festival. You'd be a mug to me.

Oh, my lady.

I love country and western.

Well, you just happen to be looking at
the winners of the talent quest for the

last three years running.

I had to see the losers.

Who was the winner?

Well, we were, darling.

I did the singing, I did the playing,
and I wrote the song.

Hey, but I filled in the entry form. Oh,
my lady, we've got to go.

Well, I don't know much about country
and weapons.

What do you think, Penelope?

I think it's the worst idea I've ever
heard.

Come on, think of Charles Dickens.

Is he like country and wet, isn't he?
Oh, yes, for sure, yes -a -ree, Bobby

would have.

It's about everything that really
matters, like heartache, divorce,

drugs.

Well, why don't you give it a go, Pen? I
mean, you seem to have an all right

voice.

to be joking.

If I had to get up in front of an
audience, I'd just keel over and faint.

Oh, my God, that could be part of the
act.

Oh, go on, let me.

Look, I just want to sing with you. I'm
busting with emotion.

It's busting out of me all over.

I'm full of it.

It's oozing out of me every fall.

God, I know.

Listen, if we won the competition, think
of how good it would be for our

clients. We'd be sitting around the
campfire.

We'd be singing.

It'd be so good for business.

It's not bad enough already.

If you don't let me sing with you, I'm
just going to rack off and leave you

a company debt.

That's so low.

Well, I know. All right, then. I'll sing
with you.

But you'll regret it.

Like a deo at the rodeo, you shake

me up.

I'm glorious.

I've got the perfect plan. Check this.

We get Penelope up on stage, so when she
faints, we get in there and grab that

opal. What do you think? How do we get
her on stage in the first place? Well,

ask her to join my band.

That's a stupid idea.

A, she's not an idiot. B, she's not
deaf.

Oh, pretty lady, come and sit by me.

diesel engine and my very own CB.

So, ten -four, good buddy. Don't be in
no hurry if you're pulling up next to

That is so beautiful, my lady. I can't
believe you ride that. Neither can I.

astounded. It just came bursting out of
me. Yes, like something out of Alien.

I'm so excited about this whole CNW
phenomenon.

I feel so inspired.

I love the catchy tunes, the symbolism,
the trucks.

I'm so excited that I've entered us in
the talent quest.

You can be the singer, Pen. What a great
idea.

Fantastic. No, impossible. I can't sing.

Oh, yes, you can. We heard you in the
shower.

Oh, be a sport, Penelope.

No, I couldn't sing in front of people.

Well, maybe I'll have to do the singing.

I wish you'd come up with something
else.

I've always wanted a banjo.

Bruce!

It's like all my dreams come true.

Frankie and Johnny were lovers.

Oh, Lord, in her they did love.

When on the road in their truck they
rode.

Free as a turtle...

Baz, are you in there?

Must remember to give that back.

You rub the opal in your hand, your
every wish is to help a man.

You're such jokers.

Come on, I've got to do the washing.

Oh, I wish that washing was done.

Well, I'll be doggone.

Where did I put the opal?

Oh, Miss Penelope, you've got such a
lovely voice. I really do wish you'd

with us.

No, Molly.

I'd love to.

Oh, bless you, Miss Penelope. You make
us all so very happy.

Molly, have you got... We're going to
rehearse tomorrow, and I'm sure your

mother would want you to get a good
night's sleep.

My opal, have you... And that'd be my
wish, too.

Please, Ben, I must go to bed. I'll see
you in the morning.

You have a good sleep and rest your
vocal cords.

Night, Ben.

Something we've been working on.

Let's do it.

You ready, Miss Penelope?

You've got such a lovely voice.

I wish it'd brighten up a bit, darling.

Yes, so do I.

See? Not my opal. Oh, the opal. I'll
look for it later on. Let's rock.

And one and two.

Bang.

And one and two and a one, two, three.

When do you come in? I know.

I need to smile more.

Mossy, you need to look for my opal. The
opal's not that important, Miss

Penelope. I wish you'd stop going on
about it. No, Mossy, please.

Let's try again.

Being creative's so invigorating.

And one and...

I think I'm getting it now.

Don't you wish you could play that
banjo? You don't get to be a good

wishing for it. It's practice that makes
perfect.

I don't mean to go on about it or make a
fuss or anything, and I hate to

interrupt your banjo practice, but I was
wondering whether you could look for my

opal. Penelope, stop pestering Mossy
about that silly opal. Don't you see

carrying a heavy load and she needs our
support?

Now, come on, everyone.

Bad. Bad.

Bad. It's three, mate. Just watch me.

One, two.

One, two, three.

Sorry.

I was just driving my own rig off the
main track.

OK, everyone, let's concentrate now.

Yes, let's really try for that country
feel.

Just playing the right notes would be a
good start.

Come on, darling, we don't need that
down -vibe thing. You know what I mean.

We've got to drive our own rig, but
we're all moving down the same highway

we've got to travel together.

to be a truck driver.

Of course you do, darling.

Just imagine, there you are, taking
charge of your own rig in front of

and thousands of people.

Oh, mummy.

Oh, darling.

Jane and her band are just the worst.

Yeah?

So we're going to get her up on stage.

We'll grab the opal and we'll win the
competition.

What a pearler!

She's not going to win the competition.
Not when my band's playing.

Well, after Darlene and I reduce them to
tears, they'll probably want a bit of

comic relief.

Why don't you give us a preview?

You're right. Hold on to your hat.

You ready, doll?

One, two.

Like a deo at the rodeo You shake me up

When we play -o in the mayo Like a
newborn

pup

Um,

excuse me, I've got to go and rehearse
with the boys.

Listen, darling, what are you playing
at? You understand the lyrics, don't

The song's about me. You are singing to
me. I am that newborn pup.

Yeah. Oh, no, mate, the lyrics, they go
like this. It's, um... Catch this

kangaroo and a cockatoo too.

They were out...

Look at you, Zay.

Moo, moo.

I'll see you, Zor, later. I'm going to
take them Americans to the show.

I want them judges to be nice and comfy
and get there good and early.

OK? Catch yous later.

You see, Mummy?

It's rigged. We haven't got a chance of
winning.

I should have stuck to Charles Dickens.
It doesn't matter whether you win or

lose. It's how you handle your load that
counts.

I think Pensring just ran off the road.

Yeah, she's looking a bit classic.

Everybody ready to hold down?

Oh, Mossy!

This is the most exciting thing that's
ever happened to me. And you all look

just perfect. I'm so happy. You're going
to steal the show, Mossy.

Oh, Miss Pirelli, I've got your opal.

I thought you might like to wear it as a
good luck charm.

Oh, Marcy!

I'm safe!

No.

Absolutely.

I'll get it.

Hello? Yes.

a mighty big ring of fire and it burnt
down the Townsville Hall.

The talent quest is cancelled.

I can't believe it.

I'm down and broken -hearted and blue as
blue can be.

Oh, well, there's always next year.

I've been reading this fabulous book by
Charles Dickens.

And I was just getting it not perfect.

It's useless, me trying to do anything
useful or creative.

I'm a nothing, a nobody.

Lower than a snake's belly.

Mossy was getting those three notes
working.

Baz was coming in on time. And Penn,
wow, Penn was singing like a bell.

Gee, Diana and me were getting something
happening.

Oh, well, nothing we can do.

Truck's just run out of gas.

It was to play like the wind.

If it wasn't too late, if we hadn't run
out of gas, I mean... I

wish they'd changed their mind.

Hello?

Yes.

What? Oh, yes!

Well, bless your cotton -picking heart!

On again!

You've got to give these guys credit.

I never heard music this bad back in the
States.

Well, that one was half good.

You're on next, Monopoly. A lot of
people out there. You're not feeling

are you? No, no, I'm not nervous. I'm
completely calm.

You couldn't. You wouldn't.

Good luck, darling.

I'm so proud of you.

Come on, we're on.

Next, come on, make it go, dear.

Stage fright's a terrible thing. You
don't make a grown man win. Okay,

and cowgirls, our next contestant's the
town family band with an original

composition, Fast Truckin' They all make
them feel welcome, would you?

You get all weak at the knee. You want
to prop all over the

stage, all over the audience.

You're not feeling faint, are you? Do
you want us to catch up?

I know exactly what stage fright feels
like.

I wish you could both feel it right now.

Too late to turn back now.

Oh, you wouldn't. Not now.

A one, a two, and a one, two, three.

I got a diesel engine and my very own
CB.

So pretend for good body if you're
pulling up next to me.

Fast truck lady, been lonesome on the
highway.

But if you shift my gears...

They're the winners for sure.

But if you shift my gears, you'll bring
me to tears. Take a drive, drive my way.

Wow. I wish Marcy and Sophie could see
this.

Sure thing, Ben.

Has no one finished their assignment on
American influence?

Oh. One and two and one, two, three.

But if you shift my gears, don't bring
me to tears. Take a drive down my way.

Sometimes there's a block on the track,
but it's only your fear holding you

back. You can make it big just believing
you're rigged.

Last trucking lady, I've been lonesome
on the highway.

But if you shift my gears, don't bring
me to tears. Take a drive down my way.

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, genie from down under. I wish
you'd do what I want you to.

Oh, yeah, all right, dear.

Genie from down under.
