Transcript
00:05I took your car at a call out to a horse.
00:09Who's your friend?
00:10I met a drover on a stock route walking some sheep south.
00:13Warning here, had a run-in with a bull.
00:16And if he chases stock around here, he'll have a run-in with a shotgun.
00:20Walking sheep south, why?
00:21To a cousin's place where there's still grass.
00:24Lucky cousin.
00:26Better get on the blower to the locals.
00:28Tell them there's travelling stock coming through.
00:30Is there a problem?
00:33Depends what they're carrying, doesn't it?
00:35How'd they look?
00:36Not good. They were thin and most seem to be scouring.
00:40Better make those calls, then.
00:42Oh, my key!
01:21I've got given eggs.
01:23From Mrs. Klein, yes?
01:25Yes.
01:27That would be the last we see of her account.
01:30Sorry, I didn't realise.
01:33You were prowling around last night.
01:35Did you happen to look in the freezers?
01:38Don't blush. I would have done the same.
01:40There's enough meat in there to feed a regiment.
01:43My accountant says I should declare it as income.
01:45I say I will when the tax office accepts eggs and meat in lieu of cash.
01:50Put them in the fridge and grab yourself a beer.
01:53I expect you remember where the kitchen is.
02:09That gutless wonder you call a car, prick on the bitumen, bugger to get out of a ditch.
02:15What on earth possessed you to get something like that?
02:18My father gave it to me as a graduation present.
02:22If I were you, I'd trade it in for something with a bit more grunt.
02:26That's if you're staying.
02:31The last ten of you, I sacked six.
02:34Three quit before I could and one I never saw.
02:36Steve Willis across the road says he drove up, took one look, did a ewee and drove back the way
02:40he came.
02:42Steve Willis being the one who told you and the clients that I was snooping.
02:47Steve's an old man.
02:49Doesn't sleep a lot, keeps an eye on the place.
02:53Steve Willis, your CV, you did well at university, but you don't stick around at any one job for long.
03:00Like your assistants.
