"What was it you got me out of bed to see?" "That was the act of a desperate man." "I could smell my land." "The water..." "Forests covered in little yellow flowers." "That fills ya hope!" "And the sun!" "Hot... stinking in the mangroves." "Alright in the morning..." "like paradise Honeyfield, Queensland." "Why didn't you ever go back?" "I was angry." "And stupid."

"For you." "So you were buying' 'em for yourself?" "I made a mistake." "I got 'em your size." "Remember that little girl in Panama?" "You nearly got yourself killed over her, eh?" "There was a pimp who was after her." "The way he was using her." "I'd seen it before." "There's a man in Honeyfield..." "His soul's just as cold..." "Like a hole in the ocean." "They called him a dead man." "I want you to take this to Honeyfield." "You can take it, mate!" "I've seen death." "Dying." "I'm not going to make it off this ship." "You take this to Dead Man." "Tell him... it's what he's been hungry for." "Tell him... its body's been hung before." "Tell him it's a sweet dream..." "money can't buy." "There's something else..." "There's a... hotel room, I...." "I use to keep things important." "Didn't know you had a room." "I've had a lot of things." "But  you teach yourself different." "Remember it's a lost soul." "Repent with me." "Get to the honey field." "Get to Dead Man." "Nice boots!" "He give them to you, did he?" "Well... they fit you just fine." "So "Hi-ho Silver!"" "Him being dead..." "It makes me feel funny." "It makes me feel clean." "I got a clear conscience." "A bit more of this world has made room for me." "Max O'Donnell's room." "The privacy of guests is what they pay for." "Got a key." "Then you've got the room." "Do you want light?" "It comes with the room, doesn't it?" " Want to come?" " No." "Where's Max?" "This is his room..." "What are you doin' here?" "What are you doing here?" "I always come up when I see the light on." "Well, he's not here." "Max is an old friend of mine." "I sailed with Max for 6 years..." "He never said anything about a woman." "There's one on here for every time he came home." "He put 'em on the chain for safekeeping..." "His safekeeping." "There's a lot more than 6 years worth here." "Where is he?" "I don't know." "He in trouble?" "I don't know." "What are you doing with his stuff?" "Put it back!" "It belongs to Max!" "He's dead." "Three days ago." "That was easy to say, now..." "Wasn't it, sweetheart?" "What's the matter?" "You want someone to do some crying for you?" "I'm taking some stuff back to his home town." "Well you better get a move on..." "This is my home town." "What did he tell you about it?" "Nothing." "Place by a river..." "A lot of flowers." "He said it was paradise." "We're all tryin' to get there, honey!" "I'm sure paradise is waiting for you." "Maybe this is as far as it goes." "Well?" "What else is there...?" "...for men like you..." "Women, like me!"

"I'm looking for a cowboy." "21." "Honeyfield." "Grogan checked his chamber." "He looked at Mary..." "checked it again..." "One left." "He knew how to use it." "I think it suits me." "A shirt for faggots!" "Think Max was straight?" "Max is dead!" "I want Angel!" "That's bullshit, Tatts!" "Oh, very valiant of you, Roger!" "We been ashore 4 hours already..." "What've we done?" "!" "You guys are so... dumb!" "You got no dreams!" "Let's get some beers..." "and some Chinese." "And find some females." "Angel can wait." "Worry about me!" "You still here, cowboy?" "!" "Dance?" "This is some sort of bullshit you're into, Tatts." "You hurt 'er..." "You hit 'er!" "I mean I think you broke her nose..." "Jesus, Tatts!" "Too late, if you're after work." "Season's nearly finished." "Give you a lift down the bay?" "Yeah... that'd do." "Nowhere else to go." "Unless you can walk on water." "You look like you was expectin' somethin' else."

"Moved up north, instead." "Took most of the people with it." "You didn't go?" "No." "Is no one living' here?" "No." "What 'appened to 'em?" "Dead." "That was the old man's." "He'd 've been Empire Champ, 'cept for the war." "Max had the gift..." "But he wouldn't give it a go." "You'd expect he'd 've given it a go..." "They got a bit o' fight in 'em!" "Bit of a disappointment." "That's one way of hurting' your old man..." "Isn't it?" "Were you ever in the ring, Wilson?" "No." "But my father wasn't nearly champ." "What's over there?" "Kidd's place." "Who can't sleep at night." "Likes to walk up and down." "Like a dead man." "He own all the land?" "Yeah... all of it." "And the house?" "No... not the house."

"You shouldn't 've taken anythin' from that house." "If you want that sort of stuff..." "I'll buy it." "I can buy it myself." "It belongs to a dead woman!" "That whole house." "Geez... this one's got you scared, Wilson." "Scared for you..." "He'll hurt ya..." "Just like the others..." "Use ya like a whore." "I used him like a whore."

"What does that mean to a man like me?" "What's wrong?" "You scared, boy?" "!" "Little dreams... whoo-hoo-ho!" "..." "Magic!" "What do you think give a man like me things to dream about?" "You open it for me." "Open it!" "From Max to me..." "We'll open it together." "Opium..." "Opium!" "He's dead?" "!" "Max sends me my own death?" "I ain't errand-boy!" "Let him bring it himself!"

"Been livin' on the water since you were 17?" "!" "I like it." "I couldn't live there." "Lot of monsters out there, never seen the light of day." "Looks like it's been in the water or something." "It was." "Dad drove it in there." "Ten years ago." "Couldn't find the bodies for 2 days." "Police said they were drinking." "Had a car accident." "Grave just says they drowned." "Do you like her music?" "Her record is just on the player." "It's the prettiest thing that woman ever had." "The first time I saw Pauline..." "She's sitting in the kitchen, with Max's postcards... piled up next to 'er." "Her music..." "He played it all the time." "We read the postcards over and over." "All the time crying the thinnest little tears I've ever seen." "He never said anything about women." "I'm Catherine..." "Her name was Pauline, and she was my friend." "Women are always crying." "They think it makes things better." "What happened with the sign?" "Wilson shot it..." "A couple of hundred times." "Why'd he do that?" "Ask him yourself." "Cathy... it's so long since I saw you like this is the fresh prawn, straight off the boat!" "The sight of you, so young and strong, bringin' it to me." "So sad..." "Never saying a word." "Get away!" "You watch the past..." "As if you were still alive." "This is something of yours that's still breathing there." "My special memories." "Get away!" "This is my land." "Everything on it I own." "When you find Wilson, tell him the fences are down." "What memories?" "So it's something bad you bring up in the nets." "That's some dance you're doin' there." "Ought to have some grease on those boots, before they cripple ya." "Magic place, isn't it?" "Worth livin' for." "Is this the honey field?" "No." "Been a lot of things." "Used to be an airstrip over there..." "Bit o' grazing'." "Railroad." "Buried treasure." "Yeah... that made a good story." "How long have you been here, Wilson?" "It's an all-purpose wrecking' yard." "The way that Max used to talk about it..." "It was somethin' beautiful..." "Nothin' was sweeter than the honey field." ""Nothin'", eh?" "!" "Nothin'." "He told me about the beaches." "About the seaweed goin' black in the sand." "The water like satin..." "The flowers." " Flowers?" " Yeah, flowers." "So yellow, they looked like a field of hope." "Only stinkweed comes out yellow in summer." "Been a while since we've seen that." "What are you driving?" "Debonair..." "Gold Star..." "Royal DeLuxe." "Toyota Crown." "Useless... too 'eavy on the steering'..." "Gutless!" "Ford." "Yeah, better..." "Big V-8." "You'd come outta the pits before you 'd get into 'em." "Just as well we left it all be'ind." "Nobody could touch us here." "Smell o' petrol..." "Nerves in everyone's belly." "Engine's missin', radiators hissing'." ""Get you hot-dogs from the ladies at the kiosk, ladies and gentlemen!"" "These yellow flowers are just stinkweed." "He said there were dead people out on the water." "Did you see 'em?" "Oh, yeah..." "Little green ones!" "He talked about the river..." "Seems as far as he could see." "Everything about the place nothin' about the people who live here." "Can I tell you somethin' about the man?" "His father was the only lost soul that I ever knew." "Always hitting'..." "Wanted to be hit back." "Puttin' up punching' bags all over the place." "Always hitting' Max around..." "Tryin' to make him... "mean"." "Everything was about the war." "Men killing' and dyin' on the water." "The old man was crazy." "He thought hitting' somethin' would make everything alright." "What about Pauline?" "She told Max to wear his bruises like medals." "Never said what she did about her own, though." "Why did everyone leave?" "Kidd bought all the land..." "Closed it down." "And Max just left?" "All the dreaming' in the world couldn't get rid o' Kidd." "He burrowed into that family..." "sucked 'em dry." "Where you are now..." "The last time I saw Max." "This is how the last race ended." "They started over there." "All in a line..." "Started moving'..." "Max starts walkin' like he didn't even see 'em comin'!" "Slow as a Sunday stroll." "Right across in front of 'em!" "Cars saw 'im..." "Whole race broke up..." "Fellas hitting' each other..." "Hittin' the walls..." "Brought the whole circle." "Everyone's screamin' at 'im." "Max ignored 'em." "Just walked right across in front of 'em." "He turned..." "Looked straight at me." "Well, what did he want?" "Whatever it was, he didn't tell me." "You start off, thinking life is in a straight line like a big highway." "I think it's broken all over the place." "You think Max remembered you that way?" "Prob'ly never thought about it." "Just a whole lot o' cars going 'round in circles, Wilson." "You could've all gone for a long slow drive up the highway." "The speedway was family." "Someone had to look after it." "You could've all broke loose from here." "Into what?" "It's me 'ome." "The whole thing." "I want a big blue Thunderbird to get me out of here." "And I'm going, Wilson." "One foot in front of the other." "We're leavin' soon..." "Maybe in a couple o' days." "Better get your things together." "Wilson, you're never gonna leave here." "And if you do, it won't be me with you." "You're kiddin' yourself!" "Ya head's full o' dreamin'!" "That cowboy won't look after ya." "No one's comin' for you!" "Look around..." "This is it." "You and me!" "You're right about one thing, though..." "No one's leavin' here." "I'm settled here." "You'll see a lot of things looking in people's windows." "You saw Wilson crying in his wrecking yard." "I think he buried his brain out here somewhere." "I worked for the government in the days when it meant something." ""The Queen's Public Service"." "Northern Territory." "I was there in exciting times." "There was trade black whores, cheap as whisky." "Everything for whisky." "What is it you did, exactly?" "Trades and measurement..." "buying and selling..." "You can buy and sell anything." "Not always." "Is what you want worth whatever you got?" "That's what it all comes down to." "Makes me ask what a young buck like you is hungry for." "What about the opium?" "Why ask me?" "Not mine!" "It's not my dreams you're dealing with..." "It is..." "His family... them!" "..." "Sickness in all their bodies!" "I didn't make anything happen..." "It was already here!" "The land out there's nothing!" "Whatever makes him bring the opium to me?" "He said your soul was cold." "Like a hole in the ocean." "So, he had one nightmare too many." "He's lucky he can sleep at all." "Journeys like mine at night are the loneliest." "I know men like you." "You come from the ocean..." "From what never changes, never grows old." "You come to places like this..." "You need something." "What is it you value here?" "We're creatures of hunger..." "We can feed each other." "Where is Max?" "Waiting." "For what?" "What does he want?" "What do you want?" "...the ocean...he's got a place." "The opium's mine." "It has fed me more than any god!" "And you blame me for it." "Get out!" "Get out!" "Get out!" "Was it worth it?" "Did you find what you were looking for?" "Do you like this?" "No." "What's that?" "Burnin' a car..." "Probably stolen." "Who burned it?" "I don't know." "Maybe they didn't like the music the radio was playing." "You got a boyfriend over there?" "No." " Somewhere?" " No." "I bet you are lonesome." "You like secrets?" "No." "I think you do." "Other people's." "No." "You've got secrets, Angel." "I can feel 'em." "Jesus Christ!" "You want me to tell you about Wilson?" "I don't give a shit!" "You want me to tell you about me?" "No." "Are you scared?" "Does it hurt?" "Nothing's hurt." "I'm not scared." "It's alright." "It's the same here." "Everything about this place is waiting for Max to come back." "Ghosts are the price of love." "If you love someone..." "they never leave you." "Pauline told me that." "Why... are you waiting here?" "You've never even met him." "He sailed into Venice..." ""on a mist tide..."" ""It was so beautiful..."" ""Made me frightened of God..."" ""And glass in the windows shone..."" ""..." "like the tears in the eyes of our angels."" "It's the kind of stuff he wrote on the postcards." "My whole life I've been hearing him." "Max..." "Max..." "He'll come back one day." "If I'm not here..." "How's he gonna find me?" "I feel like a baby that's never gonna get born." "How'm I gonna leave, if I've never seen him?" "You can make the move yourself." "I will." "When?" "When this little bit of something I've got is gone." "You'll be here forever." "I already have been." "Max isn't coming back." "Why not?" "Why would anyone?" "You saw the boy." "Yes." "And Catherine?" "Yes." "He half looks like Max, doesn't he?" "That cowboy shit again." "Not too fair..." "That's no different to you and your smock, to Catherine." "You leave her out of it!" "I always did..." "Didn't I?" "But the boy's got a young man's body..." "A young man's arms." "Don't you think she feels them already?" "What is it?" "What's in it?" "Opium." "I know this stuff." "Kidd knows it's here." "It'll kill 'im." "And Max sent it!" "It's not about dyin'..." "Last time I spoke to him... he was talkin' about bein' lonely." "More than loneliness..." "It's more..." "It feels lonely in the heart." "But I know that." "I'm lonely all the time." "You got things... you connect." "Ghosts being the price of love makes sense." "I feel I've brought him with me." "A little bit I got o' him..." "Do you think I look like her?" "You're prettier." "I know what I am." "Don't try and scare me anymore." "Do you want to dance?" "I can't dance." "I'll show you." "I don't need it." "You don't need it It's extra!" "Romance." "Feel like it yourself?" "Who taught you?" "Pauline." "Where's your family?" "Somewhere." "Thought you might like a drink." "Your mate." "Catherine." "Looks like you're already taken care of." "What's she been tellin' ya?" "Talkin' about her family." "Family?" "!" "She's got no one!" "She's a whore's daughter, from the caravan park." "Look at her!" "..." "Wearin' a dead woman's clothes!" "He just said I was pretty, Wilson." "He's laughin' at ya!" "That's how Max got out!" "Left me to do the looking'-after." "All the sweet words..." "and nothin' in it for anyone!" "Look, mate, he's not nobody!" "I know the ways that come around..." "Be here for 'er!" "Max didn't want to know!" "Kidd was always laughin'!" "I never knew." "I didn't know what was goin' on!" "She was so beautiful." "I never heard you say she was beautiful." "You know she was!" "Always standing'... waitin'..." "Be a nice surprise to see me..." "Wantin' me to hold 'er!" "Wantin' someone... anyone..." "to hold 'er!" "She was just lonely, Wilson." "So was I!" "I thought she wanted me!" "I swear to God..." "Sometimes, I think you're her, standin' in front of me." "Wilson... stop!" "Stop!" "And Max was the light." "When he left, the light left her." "Left me!" "She loved me." "Loved?" "!" "What did she ever give you?" "Loved me." "Clean." "She never loved anyone but Max." "Wilson, you're wrong." "I used to watch 'er movin' around inside." "Never comin' out." "She didn't need me anymore." "Left me burnin' outside." "I'm the only one that ever loved YOU." "You smell... and your love smells." "You're like cannibals." "How much longer... can you stand this?" "I told you, cowboy..." "Until this little bit we've got is gone." "What are you tryin' to do?" "The highway." "If you're on the highway, I can leave." "Pretty close now." "Stay away." "Sure!" "I'm lookin' for a friend of mine..." "Angel." "You're no friend." "He's got money he owes me." "Oh... what else?" "!" "You're from the ships!" "Same as Max." "You know Max?" "Yeah!" "Me and Max... great friends!" "If ya c'n be friends with a corpse, that is." "Max O'Donnell." "He's been dead for days." "You see?" "!" "..." "The weakness..." "The soft voice, faying in their bodies." "In this place nothing changes." "Anything can change." "We're all caught in a tide with everything buried but it all comes back in time." "After Max gone, I did what I pleased and they did what they liked." "Pauline liked to sing up, like a hostess." "A man telling everybody what it was like to be almost a champion!" "Champion!" "Do you think they know what it was that made Max run?" "Opium!" "I took his father first..." "and then Pauline!" "It took a lot to get her!" "And it was me, not Wilson, gave her real kisses!" "Lot of reliable stuff here, eh?" "Really worth havin'!" "It was all good in its day." "I remember this." "My old man had one." "Hey!" "..." "Come in, ya galah and I'll sell you a car with a free bumper-bar!" "Catherine the opium... he can take it." "Max is dead!" "Max is dead!" "Why didn't you say it?" "How could I?" "Same old Angel..." "I'm not gonna fight you, Tatts..." "I don't want it." "Yes, you do..." "I do!" "Why?" "You got my money!" "I've spent my time and there must be at least 27 reasons for it." "You're too pretty!" "You're too pretty..." "You got dirt on our boots." "Everything about you irritates me, Angel and I got no patience to deal with it." "I'm sick o' hurting, Tatts." "Hurtin'?" "!" "I been practising' that my whole life!" "Who am I?" "Who am I?" "You're still here, cowboy." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Fight!" "Come on!" "Come on... get up!" "Fight me!" "So, who are you now?" "Eh, Angel?" "!" "Big man!" "When ya on ya throne..." "who are ya?" "!" "Finish it!" "No!" "What for?" "!" "Finish it!" "It's not enough." "Feel for me." "Not him... me!" "Feel me." "Feel me!"
