Man Who Sued God The
|
00:02:05 |
In the latest weather news... |
00:02:07 |
a severe storm warning |
00:02:11 |
The weather bureau has also warned of high |
00:02:17 |
Farmers are advised |
00:02:22 |
What's wrong with you, Arthur? |
00:02:38 |
I know, that's where I'm going. |
00:02:46 |
Here we go. |
00:02:52 |
We're nearly there, Arthur. |
00:03:09 |
Something tells me that this isn't |
00:03:14 |
That's instinct, old son. |
00:03:17 |
- This is a day for spaghetti and wine. |
00:03:21 |
And bones, of course. |
00:03:30 |
- Why, it's princess Ornatharicus. |
00:03:36 |
- How many did you catch? |
00:03:42 |
I have a lobster for your mum. Hold that, |
00:03:46 |
- Don't worry about it. |
00:03:49 |
We're having chops. |
00:03:52 |
Tell your mum to put the kettle on. |
00:04:00 |
Dad! |
00:04:04 |
Come on, Arthur. |
00:04:07 |
Stupid dog, come on. |
00:05:09 |
Dad, come back! |
00:05:45 |
- Let's have a look. That will have to come off. |
00:05:49 |
The shoe. |
00:05:51 |
- God, what were you doing? |
00:05:56 |
Forceps, pliers, bone nibblers. |
00:05:58 |
- What the hell are bone nibblers? |
00:06:02 |
Yes, it's been a brilliant day. |
00:06:08 |
- I thought the lightning had got you. |
00:06:13 |
This could hurt a bit. |
00:06:29 |
Not going out today, mate? |
00:06:32 |
Jesus, that's a real thigh-slapper. |
00:06:37 |
- You need anything else? |
00:06:40 |
Things always go wrong for Dad. |
00:06:42 |
- I feel sorry for him. |
00:06:44 |
He's got no boat, no house, no you. |
00:06:46 |
They say people make their own luck. |
00:06:49 |
That's stupid. |
00:06:52 |
The wind must have come howling up here, right |
00:07:01 |
- Place insured? |
00:07:04 |
- You insured? |
00:07:08 |
The old place stood up very well, though. |
00:07:12 |
I was gonna rent one of your caravans |
00:07:16 |
Take a pick. |
00:07:16 |
I don't want to crowd you and Jules, |
00:07:19 |
- me being the ex and everything. |
00:07:24 |
Does Jules know you guaranteed my loan? |
00:07:27 |
You sure you're insured? |
00:07:32 |
It's in the boat. |
00:07:39 |
- The premium's up-to-date. I checked. |
00:07:44 |
- It's comprehensive insurance. |
00:07:52 |
- What do you mean, 'Act of God'? |
00:07:56 |
My boat was where the lightning struck |
00:07:59 |
It was an accident, for fuck's sake. |
00:08:01 |
It's in your policy. |
00:08:03 |
Yes, look. Comprehensive. |
00:08:07 |
I'm sorry. |
00:08:11 |
Bastards. Pains in the arse. Parasites. |
00:08:16 |
You can disappear up your own... |
00:08:26 |
David Myers, please. |
00:08:35 |
What's this crap about 'Act of God'? |
00:08:38 |
Is that what they've got you on? |
00:08:43 |
It's a load of bollocks. |
00:08:46 |
That's true, but it's a legitimate legal |
00:08:50 |
Why would I need insurance |
00:08:52 |
Tell me that. |
00:08:54 |
- Going down here? |
00:08:56 |
Call them, write them a letter, threaten and |
00:09:01 |
You're a lawyer. |
00:09:06 |
That's very good. |
00:09:13 |
See you later. |
00:09:16 |
- What's the problem |
00:09:19 |
Don't tell me, they're not gonna pay? |
00:09:24 |
- Of course. Can I borrow the car? |
00:09:29 |
- Thanks very much. |
00:09:47 |
Has it occurred to you that |
00:09:51 |
A grow-up call? |
00:09:52 |
I don't know. I suppose it could be something |
00:09:56 |
Stop talking to the bloody dog! |
00:10:00 |
- Did you think you were going to die? |
00:10:05 |
Do you think you're ever going |
00:10:09 |
But it's you I thought about, |
00:10:13 |
Do you know what I though? |
00:10:15 |
I thought you saved me |
00:10:21 |
You've never forgiven me, have you, |
00:10:24 |
It's your life, |
00:10:30 |
You always do. |
00:10:41 |
How do you do?? |
00:10:45 |
I'm sorry to bother you, |
00:10:49 |
And I thought I might pop in. |
00:10:53 |
I'm very grateful for your time. |
00:10:58 |
I'm very grateful for your time. |
00:11:01 |
I know you're busy balancing the |
00:11:05 |
Actually, how do you do that? |
00:11:09 |
There's been a little mistake here. |
00:11:12 |
Little for you, big for me |
00:11:15 |
Normally, I wouldn't bother you, |
00:11:19 |
and my boat |
00:11:21 |
Did you read your policy, Mr. Myers? |
00:11:23 |
- I have a daughter. |
00:11:27 |
- Four people are facing ruin. |
00:11:31 |
- It's a wonderful painting. |
00:11:36 |
- Yes it said 'fully comprehensive'. |
00:11:40 |
There's the thing. It doesn't say |
00:11:44 |
It's because it's widely understood. |
00:11:50 |
Locusts, pillars of fire, plagues of boils, |
00:11:54 |
God's not in charge of that stuff anymore. |
00:11:59 |
- I'm sorry. |
00:12:05 |
My ex-wife's partner guaranteed |
00:12:09 |
with his bloody caravan-park, |
00:12:12 |
I didn't come here to take no for an answer. |
00:12:14 |
No. Sorry. |
00:12:17 |
This may seem an obvious question, but if I |
00:12:22 |
and this crutch was to disappear down your neck |
00:12:27 |
Would that be an Act of God'? |
00:12:29 |
Grey area. |
00:12:34 |
I'm not leaving. |
00:12:38 |
That's the worst fucking painting |
00:12:43 |
Very good. |
00:12:47 |
What are you doing?! I can walk, |
00:12:51 |
I have a life, you know. |
00:12:53 |
You're a low-brow, bad taste, |
00:12:59 |
I'm not finished with you. |
00:13:03 |
I'll give you locusts. Boils. I'll give you whirlwinds. |
00:13:09 |
I'll get fucking mad! |
00:13:12 |
You can jump out of your fucking windows! |
00:13:20 |
Fucking great! |
00:13:23 |
Excuse me, Mr. Myers, |
00:13:49 |
- Sorry I'm late. |
00:13:53 |
- Should you be taking those with that? |
00:13:58 |
Waiter. |
00:14:00 |
I'm sorry. |
00:14:04 |
Another one of these, pal, would be lovely. |
00:14:08 |
- Let's go somewhere else. |
00:14:12 |
We've got a wee job to do. We're gonna sue |
00:14:18 |
Don't be stupid. Armies of lawyers |
00:14:22 |
Their liabilities are defined in minute detail. |
00:14:25 |
What about God's liabilities? |
00:14:32 |
I'd love to help you. I love you like |
00:14:36 |
I'm your brother. |
00:14:38 |
Have you met my brother? |
00:14:41 |
No more drink. |
00:14:43 |
Why don't you fuck... |
00:14:49 |
Let me help you up. |
00:14:53 |
- My skirt! |
00:14:57 |
I didn't mean anything with that. |
00:15:11 |
- Just piss off. |
00:15:14 |
I haven't even eaten anything. |
00:15:19 |
'Scuse me, I'm sorry. |
00:15:24 |
One night, |
00:15:27 |
a seed of humanity was planted when a family |
00:15:33 |
They started cooking on it, having |
00:15:37 |
they learned reason and manners. |
00:15:39 |
Restaurants are directly descended |
00:15:44 |
But the animal that entered my |
00:15:47 |
would not have been tolerated |
00:15:51 |
Drunk, stinking and abusive he proceeded to |
00:15:58 |
It looks like you've made a friend there. |
00:16:02 |
Couldn't say it very clear, huh? |
00:16:05 |
This is just another one of |
00:16:07 |
You dig a hole, everybody else falls in, |
00:16:11 |
Not me, pal. Not this time. |
00:16:17 |
- Good morning, The National. |
00:16:21 |
She writes a column at your paper, remember? |
00:16:24 |
Hi, this is Anna Redmond. |
00:16:28 |
Do you know that experiments |
00:16:31 |
they recognize the truth far more |
00:16:34 |
And with a wee bit of training a squid will |
00:16:40 |
You were only doing your job, and you didn't |
00:16:46 |
You really wanted to be a nurse in Africa, |
00:16:51 |
I'm sure you're not there. You're probably |
00:16:57 |
The fact is, modern journalism sucks. |
00:17:01 |
Does it? I'm not so sure. |
00:17:03 |
Of course it does. You told me it does. |
00:17:07 |
Look at this. Some little twerp three weeks out |
00:17:12 |
It's all opinion and narcissism. |
00:17:16 |
Three years ago I used to report, |
00:17:19 |
- I was in Washington, Moscow, Beijing. |
00:17:23 |
I had food poisoning, I missed the coup. |
00:17:27 |
The fact is I was writing stories. |
00:17:28 |
Where am I now? |
00:17:32 |
Is that the column? |
00:17:34 |
Yes. |
00:17:38 |
It's not journalism. |
00:17:42 |
- You're a woman of influence. |
00:17:46 |
- You know what your trouble is? |
00:17:50 |
You're very exciting when you're like this. |
00:17:52 |
- I don't know why we haven't slept together. |
00:17:56 |
The reporter. Report. Go after a story, |
00:18:01 |
- Really? |
00:18:04 |
- So we skip the column? |
00:18:07 |
- You still want the column? |
00:18:39 |
Bugger them. |
00:19:19 |
You really wanted to be a nurse in Africa, |
00:19:25 |
I'm sure you're not there. You're probably |
00:19:31 |
Do you think I've done |
00:19:37 |
I hope you're right. |
00:19:46 |
There he is. |
00:19:47 |
- How did it go up in town? |
00:19:51 |
- Are they going to pay? |
00:19:55 |
- What is that supposed to mean? |
00:20:02 |
You are not going to sue. |
00:20:05 |
You're going to sue one of the |
00:20:09 |
Apparently I wouldn't stand a chance. |
00:20:14 |
I've sent writs on |
00:20:20 |
We've got this fisherman issuing writs against |
00:20:25 |
but I've got a pretty good nose |
00:20:28 |
And I can smell an idiot a mile off. |
00:20:53 |
Now it's time for our weekly chat |
00:20:58 |
- Good morning, Anna. |
00:21:00 |
What about this character suing God? |
00:21:02 |
- It's a summons? |
00:21:05 |
- It's not a prank? |
00:21:08 |
- Some religious fanatic, I suppose. |
00:21:12 |
Leave it with me, Your Eminence. |
00:21:14 |
Sometimes I don't know what |
00:21:17 |
- Should you admit to that in your position? |
00:21:29 |
- What's your advise? |
00:21:35 |
- What do you think? |
00:21:40 |
There's a lot of very strange |
00:21:45 |
It's a stunt for money. |
00:21:49 |
I wouldn't go that far, Dirk. |
00:21:51 |
The insurance companies have been using |
00:21:56 |
- So it's stood the test of time. |
00:21:59 |
social and political changes, |
00:22:03 |
Intellectually speaking |
00:22:06 |
- A 'woolly mammoth'? I don't follow. |
00:22:08 |
- The mammoth died out. |
00:22:12 |
Never mind. The insurance companies |
00:22:18 |
As far as I'm concerned |
00:23:08 |
- For once I agree with you, David. |
00:23:12 |
But David, it is Steve. |
00:23:17 |
- Absolutely. |
00:23:21 |
Christ Almighty! |
00:23:24 |
I'll tell you what, Arthur. |
00:23:28 |
Not many dogs have ideas as good as that. |
00:23:31 |
- Hi. Caught any fish? |
00:23:37 |
- Do you know someone called Steve Myers? |
00:23:43 |
- He's over there. |
00:24:01 |
- Mr. Myers? |
00:24:06 |
- I know you. |
00:24:10 |
You're the guy from the restaurant. |
00:24:11 |
I'm just a tourist from New Zealand, |
00:24:15 |
I'm sorry you didn't like what I wrote. |
00:24:19 |
What do you want me to do? |
00:24:22 |
I don't want you to do it. |
00:24:30 |
Don't you want to talk to them? |
00:24:32 |
I don't want those people |
00:24:39 |
- You're gonna have to sooner or later. |
00:24:43 |
- Leave me alone and bugger off. |
00:24:47 |
- You? I don't think so. |
00:24:53 |
Hurry up, there. |
00:24:57 |
Come on, Arthur. |
00:25:00 |
Come on. |
00:25:03 |
Quick. |
00:25:07 |
Will you behave yourself! |
00:25:11 |
Help me. |
00:25:12 |
Look at the way you're rocking |
00:25:15 |
Stop the boat. |
00:25:26 |
Towel? |
00:25:29 |
Thanks for the help. |
00:25:32 |
Give him a good rub and be careful |
00:25:38 |
- Tell me again, what did you agree with her? |
00:25:43 |
She wants an exclusive. |
00:25:46 |
wines and dines you, then writes a three page |
00:25:53 |
Remind me, you've been |
00:25:56 |
I read, I watch TV. |
00:26:01 |
Oh, I see, the real world. |
00:26:05 |
You know what I mean. |
00:26:07 |
- Are you going to be famous, Dad? |
00:26:11 |
She loves me. |
00:26:16 |
Since issuing the writs Mr. Myers has remained silent, |
00:26:22 |
A zealot of some description, most likely. |
00:26:25 |
I wouldn't worry. His wheels have |
00:26:29 |
I'm surprised you do not know. |
00:26:31 |
- I think you have to respond. |
00:26:35 |
- I think he could be dangerous. |
00:26:37 |
He's more than a crank, Your Eminence, and I think |
00:26:42 |
He may be deluded, |
00:26:45 |
- Are you sure of this? |
00:26:51 |
This is going to be a big story. |
00:26:59 |
Shut up, Arthur. |
00:27:06 |
- Hello. |
00:27:09 |
I knew it. |
00:27:12 |
I don't want to appear desperate. |
00:27:28 |
- What have we got? |
00:27:33 |
I bet you hate those, |
00:27:36 |
I love them. |
00:27:41 |
Is that a stunt, suing God? |
00:27:44 |
- No, it's not a stunt. |
00:27:50 |
Yeah...story. You wind me down, then do a three |
00:27:58 |
You can't win without the media. |
00:28:00 |
- I just don't want them on my side. |
00:28:06 |
Excuse me, I've got you wrong. |
00:28:12 |
The highly principal, fair minded, |
00:28:16 |
Listen. What you're doing, suing God... |
00:28:21 |
It's a brilliant idea. |
00:28:23 |
You're going to the core, the kern of the existence, |
00:28:29 |
Nobody is gonna understand it, |
00:28:33 |
and the whole thing is gonna be last, |
00:28:38 |
I just thought I could help. |
00:28:41 |
I'm not really suing God, you know. |
00:28:44 |
I just hate the way that people use God as |
00:28:49 |
I know what you're doing. |
00:29:01 |
I have to confess a personal interest. |
00:29:07 |
I really hate insurance companies. |
00:29:10 |
A reasonable position, in my view. |
00:29:14 |
Maybe the company would settle if |
00:29:17 |
They've never settled. Trust me. They can't. |
00:29:22 |
You have to scare them. Really put the |
00:29:28 |
That's why you need me. |
00:29:31 |
Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands |
00:29:43 |
Welcome. |
00:29:45 |
We've got a great show for |
00:29:49 |
We're ready for you now. |
00:29:52 |
Oh...the fucking Bible. |
00:29:54 |
The fisherman from the south coast |
00:29:58 |
Don't give them a lecture. |
00:30:02 |
- It doesn't need logic, like language does. |
00:30:06 |
It's so powerful. It's annihilating. |
00:30:11 |
Television has made the world less |
00:30:15 |
We're living in a mosaic of |
00:30:18 |
half-comprehended, |
00:30:21 |
- Pavlov's dog. |
00:30:25 |
- Not even like dogs. More like hamsters. |
00:30:29 |
Its essential function is |
00:30:32 |
When you make it out there |
00:30:41 |
- What was I saying? |
00:30:44 |
We live in a world of simulations, |
00:30:49 |
Cressida Roache is not a person. |
00:30:52 |
A combination of familiar, |
00:30:56 |
You've got to force her back into a hole. |
00:31:01 |
- Excuse me. |
00:31:06 |
Don't be dull and unanimated. Laugh a lot. |
00:31:11 |
Sure. |
00:31:16 |
This way, please. |
00:31:19 |
Could you please wait here for a moment? |
00:31:21 |
You've got a tissue in your... |
00:31:24 |
- Can I take it? |
00:31:29 |
You're good? |
00:31:30 |
- Hi Steve. Cressida Roache. |
00:31:33 |
Anna's filled me in on the background. |
00:31:38 |
Mr. Myers, we're ready for you now. |
00:31:42 |
- You okay? |
00:31:44 |
- Good luck. |
00:31:50 |
Stand by. |
00:31:58 |
Welcome back. |
00:32:00 |
Who is this Steve Myers, |
00:32:03 |
We thought we'd find out. |
00:32:14 |
Many people might think this is the work of a crank. |
00:32:24 |
You find it amusing? |
00:32:25 |
No. Well, yes. Somewhat. |
00:32:30 |
Would you call yourself a religious man? |
00:32:32 |
Somewhat. |
00:32:37 |
In the broader sense, perhaps. |
00:32:41 |
- Sometimes when you're out at sea it's easy to... |
00:32:48 |
It's that thing, "What is God?". |
00:32:51 |
And, indeed, "Where is God?", |
00:32:57 |
That's very funny. |
00:33:00 |
- It's not a joke. |
00:33:02 |
No. The joke is the insurance companies. |
00:33:05 |
You give your money to some global corporation |
00:33:08 |
on the pretext that they will cover |
00:33:12 |
Then something happens and they won't |
00:33:17 |
- You're assuming God exists? |
00:33:20 |
Logically, if your argument is |
00:33:23 |
There is no logic involved. Forget logic. |
00:33:27 |
For instance... |
00:33:28 |
If a woman is driving a car and she's in |
00:33:32 |
and her daughter isn't covered by the insurance, |
00:33:37 |
That's not to say that the girl hates |
00:33:42 |
- This is unprecedented, isn't it? |
00:33:46 |
This is the Bible. |
00:33:49 |
I think you'll find that it says |
00:33:53 |
"There is nothing new under the sun." |
00:33:59 |
I'm sure it offends some folks, |
00:34:03 |
- What about offending God? |
00:34:07 |
Not if he has some sense of justice. |
00:34:14 |
- Steve Myers, thank you very much. |
00:34:24 |
Gerry, did you see him? |
00:34:28 |
- What did I tell you. |
00:34:32 |
Thanks for your calming influence. |
00:34:36 |
Hi. Maxime Jeffrey, Hawk Magazines. |
00:34:40 |
That's great. We'll be in touch. |
00:34:42 |
Great. |
00:34:48 |
- You're very popular. |
00:34:53 |
Did you ever think of doing anything |
00:34:57 |
No, I wanted to be a nurse in Africa. |
00:35:03 |
Apparently, some of you think that |
00:35:07 |
He's not, |
00:35:10 |
He's outraged some religious groups, but Steve Myers |
00:35:16 |
The council of churches, together with |
00:35:20 |
meet today to discuss |
00:35:24 |
Ladies and gentlemen, |
00:35:26 |
let us pause for a minute's |
00:35:30 |
and ask God for wisdom |
00:35:34 |
The fellow's been seen on TV. |
00:35:40 |
- The reverse normally applies. |
00:35:44 |
'Does God have a case to answer'', 'Is there |
00:35:49 |
It's the 'Me-society'. |
00:35:54 |
Figuratively speaking. |
00:35:58 |
Mystery-schmystery. |
00:36:02 |
- Mystery and clout. |
00:36:07 |
If you want to keep the money, |
00:36:11 |
I think we can take it as |
00:36:13 |
I hope he does. |
00:36:14 |
- I spent half the morning singing to him. |
00:36:18 |
I am serious. If God's responsible, |
00:36:23 |
- We need a lawyer. |
00:36:27 |
If he can't get this nonsense thrown |
00:36:33 |
If you want my opinion, if the court's got any |
00:36:37 |
and Myers along with it. |
00:36:41 |
He's caused too much division in the community. |
00:36:49 |
- The Federal Court of Australia is now in session. |
00:36:53 |
Call the case for hearing? |
00:36:56 |
Myers versus God. |
00:36:59 |
Gentlemen? |
00:37:02 |
Gerry Ryan on the behalf of the Roman Catholic Church, |
00:37:06 |
and the Jewish community. |
00:37:10 |
And the defendant is? |
00:37:12 |
There is no defendant. |
00:37:15 |
- The defendant is God. |
00:37:17 |
That is a moot point. |
00:37:19 |
God and the churches are one. |
00:37:26 |
If God is responsible |
00:37:28 |
the religions are responsible. |
00:37:31 |
God is an entity with nominated |
00:37:35 |
- And the basis of your case is? |
00:37:38 |
then God is liable. |
00:37:40 |
The churches are God's representatives on earth. |
00:37:42 |
If they wish to deny liability |
00:37:47 |
then they are guilty of contravening section 52, |
00:37:52 |
"A corporation shall not, in trade or commerce, |
00:37:58 |
- Rubbish. |
00:38:00 |
And to deny that responsibility |
00:38:04 |
The case doesn't merit the hearing. |
00:38:07 |
It is frivolous, without legal precedent |
00:38:11 |
- And Mr. Myers lacks any ethics. |
00:38:15 |
- The boat was worth what? |
00:38:19 |
Not a frivolous amount, Mr. Ryan, |
00:38:24 |
I'm not satisfied the action is entirely without merit. |
00:38:31 |
Mazy from Foster. Go ahead, Mazy. |
00:38:33 |
I just wanted to say that |
00:38:38 |
This man has no scruples, no ethics |
00:38:41 |
- And no case, if you ask me. |
00:38:45 |
- I think it's immoral. |
00:38:50 |
I'm Dirk Striker, and I'm unhappy. |
00:39:00 |
I've got something to show you. |
00:39:05 |
Your fan-mail. |
00:39:08 |
Houses lost in landslides, |
00:39:13 |
Acts of God. |
00:39:16 |
Field breaks. |
00:39:26 |
- Is this your father? |
00:39:31 |
- You're thinking class action. |
00:39:35 |
Give me nightmares? |
00:39:40 |
- Do you want to go to the balcony? |
00:39:44 |
If I go down with my boat that's one thing, but I |
00:39:54 |
Why did you give up law? |
00:39:56 |
Because I was good at it. |
00:40:00 |
and I was expected to become a lawyer. |
00:40:02 |
It's like being born a sheep, |
00:40:07 |
It's not much of a life when |
00:40:10 |
- Are you a good fisherman? |
00:40:14 |
but a happier fisherman. |
00:40:18 |
I hated it. |
00:40:20 |
The average punter goes to court expecting a little |
00:40:25 |
What did you see? |
00:40:30 |
the sole purpose of which is to make |
00:40:35 |
It's the world turned upside-down. |
00:40:37 |
I wouldn't drag anybody through that system |
00:40:41 |
I'm certainly not going to do it to myself. |
00:40:44 |
Did you ever think the Lord |
00:40:47 |
Of course not. The most you |
00:40:56 |
I should warn you I have a brown belt in Ju-Jitsu. |
00:40:59 |
I could very easily throw you onto the roof. |
00:41:07 |
Read some of the letters. |
00:41:13 |
You're making a mistake. |
00:41:15 |
Nevertheless, we don't want |
00:41:19 |
I'm instructing you, Gerry. |
00:41:27 |
- This is great. Thank you. |
00:41:33 |
- I'm only doing this for you. |
00:41:40 |
It was a mudslide. They said it wasn't our fault, |
00:41:45 |
They said it was an 'Act of God'. |
00:41:47 |
- Afterwards? |
00:41:50 |
They said the water has to come from above, |
00:41:56 |
How can a flood come from above? |
00:41:59 |
It was humiliating. |
00:42:02 |
They treated us like criminals. |
00:42:07 |
And they make you feel like |
00:42:14 |
- What did you say? |
00:42:28 |
No. Why would I know where he is? |
00:42:31 |
Really? Now? |
00:42:35 |
I'll tell him if I see him. |
00:42:41 |
- Gerry Ryan wants you to meet with him. |
00:42:46 |
- No, I'm not coming. |
00:42:56 |
- I don't think they let women in here. |
00:43:05 |
We don't have women here as a rule. |
00:43:10 |
I was hoping to meet |
00:43:13 |
- I invited Ms. Redmond, is that all right? |
00:43:17 |
Regular Bonnie and Clyde, aren't you? |
00:43:21 |
My clients have instructed me |
00:43:24 |
for replacement value of the boat, |
00:43:27 |
- How much? |
00:43:32 |
Unless you're planning on |
00:43:34 |
- What if there were other plaintiffs? |
00:43:39 |
There is an undertaking that you will cease |
00:43:45 |
Jointly or separately, |
00:43:52 |
there. |
00:43:53 |
- I'll need some time to think about it. |
00:43:56 |
- Can I just have a little look? |
00:43:58 |
$160.000 is the evaluation. |
00:44:01 |
I suppose many people |
00:44:04 |
In the world of dog eat dog |
00:44:08 |
Embarrass the churches |
00:44:11 |
the churches being the only people with |
00:44:14 |
It is a generous offer, Mr. Myers. |
00:44:18 |
Personally I'd be delighted if you refuse. |
00:44:23 |
Would you excuse me for a moment? |
00:44:29 |
Let's go. |
00:44:35 |
Are you seriously thinking about that? |
00:44:38 |
I didn't promise anything. |
00:44:40 |
Silly me. |
00:44:43 |
Right. |
00:44:45 |
It's not as if you're trying to set |
00:44:50 |
Precisely. I'm not. |
00:44:55 |
- He accepts. |
00:44:59 |
$200.000 for the story. Ms. Redmond has |
00:45:06 |
Congratulations. |
00:45:16 |
- All done? |
00:45:19 |
Explain to me how you could do |
00:45:22 |
It was really easy. I just told him: |
00:45:28 |
So I can ram them up your |
00:45:38 |
And you thought I would take |
00:45:42 |
This is a class action. |
00:45:46 |
- What are you after? Some kind of moral victory? |
00:45:51 |
Do you have lawyers? |
00:45:52 |
Yes, me. I'm a lawyer. |
00:45:56 |
- Who's picking up the bill? |
00:46:01 |
Is this a political mass campaign? |
00:46:03 |
This is a legal action. |
00:46:08 |
Before this, |
00:46:11 |
Until you're old, frail, sick, dead, |
00:46:14 |
But you're stuffed anyway. |
00:46:19 |
- That's ridiculous. Anyway, he's the Church's problem. |
00:46:24 |
If he wins and they lose, who do you |
00:46:30 |
What do we do then? |
00:46:32 |
Nothing much, just prove God exists. |
00:46:37 |
As the suit against God gathers momentum |
00:46:39 |
religious groups around the country |
00:46:43 |
With some experts predicting |
00:46:47 |
the consequences will be profound, not only for |
00:46:52 |
In these most troubling and perplexing times, |
00:46:57 |
What are the others doing about it? |
00:46:58 |
They're all praying. |
00:47:04 |
We are looking at almost 800 co-plaintiffs |
00:47:11 |
There has been a backlash against the outspoken |
00:47:17 |
who are urging their followers to peacefully |
00:47:52 |
These people are not returning my calls. |
00:47:56 |
I have no idea. |
00:48:00 |
- I found some here I think we might call. |
00:48:06 |
- What was the name of that insurance agent you wanted? |
00:48:12 |
Who ordered this? |
00:48:15 |
Quiet! |
00:48:18 |
I need help. |
00:48:21 |
- Forget it. |
00:48:24 |
- You're dead right there are. |
00:48:30 |
You could have stayed down in that little town, |
00:48:33 |
made a perfectly good living |
00:48:37 |
But no, not you. |
00:48:42 |
Instead you become a bloody fisherman, |
00:48:46 |
Wasn't Jesus a carpenter? |
00:48:48 |
Then the prodigal son |
00:48:50 |
the great human rights crusader, |
00:48:53 |
I get it. Jealousy. |
00:48:57 |
Don't you talk to me about a hobby. |
00:49:02 |
I came here for your help. |
00:49:05 |
Join Steve Myers |
00:49:08 |
so he can spend the rest |
00:49:11 |
Join in the public humiliation? |
00:49:13 |
You brought this on, and now maybe |
00:49:17 |
- You should have had when you... |
00:49:20 |
When you were ten. |
00:49:47 |
- What the hell has happened out there? |
00:49:52 |
I thought I'd catch up on a couple of |
00:49:55 |
- Daddy. |
00:49:59 |
- What's happened? |
00:50:02 |
And they smashed the shower-blocks, |
00:50:05 |
They poisoned the water and I almost drank it. |
00:50:11 |
We have to talk. |
00:50:15 |
The bank rang. |
00:50:18 |
We made one payment, |
00:50:20 |
The caravan park's a miss. The insurance |
00:50:25 |
There's no money coming in. |
00:50:28 |
- I'll see what I can do. |
00:50:32 |
- David says you had an offer. |
00:50:36 |
Why didn't you tell us? That was our |
00:50:42 |
You turned it down. |
00:50:45 |
- I have a plan. |
00:50:50 |
We're gonna sell-up. |
00:50:55 |
My family's there. |
00:50:58 |
- How am I supposed to see Rebecca? |
00:51:02 |
We don't have a choice. |
00:51:10 |
Do you know what we need, Arthur? |
00:51:16 |
What do you reckon? |
00:51:21 |
No. I didn't think so. |
00:51:33 |
I'm sorry, it's very late. |
00:51:44 |
- Give it a good push forward. |
00:51:50 |
- There's a handle somewhere. |
00:51:53 |
It looks like a handle, funnily enough. |
00:52:04 |
That's it. |
00:52:44 |
I thought I might go see Ryan. |
00:52:48 |
If Ryan thinks he's got you on a spit, he's just |
00:53:07 |
When I was about ten |
00:53:12 |
and the insurance company wouldn't pay. |
00:53:16 |
My father, he was a salesman, |
00:53:24 |
After that he went away a lot, |
00:53:28 |
and he stayed away. |
00:53:32 |
When he did come home it was even worse. |
00:53:37 |
What I'm saying is... |
00:53:42 |
I know what you're going through. |
00:53:46 |
You can't, if you don't have a child. |
00:53:51 |
I'm sorry, but you can't. |
00:53:53 |
No, but I was a child. |
00:53:57 |
I've survived in a fashion. |
00:54:03 |
I can't be separated from her. |
00:54:07 |
No, you can't. |
00:54:12 |
I don't know what to do. |
00:54:20 |
Your bed's made. |
00:54:33 |
- I believe in you. |
00:54:40 |
They will too. |
00:54:49 |
- Good night. |
00:55:30 |
The Greeks would say the gods were |
00:55:34 |
Testing you from your doubt. |
00:55:39 |
Bastards. |
00:55:46 |
I wrote 2.000 words of |
00:55:48 |
you reduce it to 800 words of twaddle |
00:55:52 |
- I don't think it was objective... |
00:55:55 |
- Who's got to you, Hal? |
00:55:59 |
The Greeks would say the gods were holding us to |
00:56:04 |
The Greeks are bastards. |
00:56:16 |
You're very real. |
00:56:21 |
I like it. |
00:56:32 |
Fuck. I don't believe it. |
00:56:38 |
Stop the car. |
00:56:51 |
It will be worth your while, |
00:56:56 |
Excuse me, gentlemen. |
00:57:00 |
It's still alive! |
00:57:04 |
This fish has more decency in its arsehole |
00:57:11 |
And you, my so-called brother! |
00:57:14 |
How could you sit here paddling |
00:57:19 |
I'll see you both in court. |
00:57:29 |
You have invested me with |
00:57:33 |
If we lose, |
00:57:37 |
It is not a matter for compromise |
00:57:41 |
Though, if you lose, |
00:57:46 |
Lose, and in this cynical, mercenary age |
00:57:54 |
If the churches lose |
00:57:59 |
'Act of God'? There'll be an endless cycle |
00:58:06 |
I'll win this |
00:58:09 |
And I know you won't forget |
00:58:15 |
- No turning back now, right? |
00:58:30 |
The feelings are running high as we |
00:58:38 |
I have nothing to say. |
00:58:46 |
The Federal Court of Australia is now in session. |
00:58:58 |
- If they're experts in acts of God... |
00:59:04 |
Well said. |
00:59:06 |
Mr. Havers, you've been an insurance |
00:59:10 |
- Seven years. |
00:59:14 |
- Could you tell the court what you saw there? |
00:59:21 |
- It was struck by lightning? |
00:59:25 |
- Did you see any evidence of storm? |
00:59:30 |
- Acts of God? |
00:59:33 |
I see. |
00:59:37 |
It looked very much like it, |
00:59:41 |
This committee employed by your company to |
00:59:46 |
- Not necessarily. |
00:59:51 |
- Aren't they priests or theologians? |
00:59:58 |
- Mr. Piggott, you're the general manager |
01:00:04 |
Correct. |
01:00:05 |
Would you explain to the court the purpose behind |
01:00:10 |
The purpose is to protect |
01:00:15 |
against occasional calamities |
01:00:20 |
- Does it mean that God caused the event? |
01:00:26 |
- It's a figure of speech. |
01:00:30 |
Or 'away with the fairies'. |
01:00:36 |
- It's not to be taken literally? |
01:00:44 |
Consumatum est. |
01:00:48 |
- Thank you, Mr. Piggott. |
01:00:52 |
An act of storm, an act of weather, |
01:00:56 |
The names of the things that have |
01:01:00 |
Because it's customary |
01:01:03 |
Would that be because 'God' has a certain ring to it? |
01:01:07 |
- that exists only in the name of God? |
01:01:11 |
He's knocked off your copyright, |
01:01:18 |
Would you say that the sinking |
01:01:23 |
I beg your pardon? |
01:01:26 |
It was a ship. It struck an iceberg, and... |
01:01:30 |
Yes, that's right. The orchestra played |
01:01:35 |
- I don't think it was one of ours. |
01:01:39 |
I'm not surprised. An unassessible risk, an iceberg. |
01:01:44 |
- And yet the insurance companies paid out. |
01:01:48 |
Yes, they did. In order to avoid the |
01:01:55 |
One last thing. Last year your |
01:02:04 |
Yes, something of that order. |
01:02:06 |
Did you remember to thank God for it? |
01:02:12 |
Mr. Myers has given notice that his |
01:02:16 |
The day belonged to Mr. Myers |
01:02:36 |
Record high temperatures, strong winds and electrical |
01:02:43 |
Steve Myers kept the pressure on today, |
01:02:47 |
These witnesses, insurance company executives, |
01:02:54 |
I quite liked you today, you know that? |
01:02:59 |
What? |
01:03:04 |
- Remind me how you came into my life? |
01:03:09 |
- He said you were beautiful, and smart... |
01:03:17 |
It was the house I was born in. |
01:03:21 |
- The insurance company didn't pay? |
01:03:30 |
- Mr. Ryan? |
01:03:34 |
The insurance industry reckons that the |
01:03:38 |
The churches can't possibly agree with that. |
01:03:43 |
- I suppose for legal purposes... |
01:03:48 |
For moral purposes? |
01:03:51 |
Is there such a thing as an 'Act of God' |
01:03:55 |
I shouldn't think so. |
01:03:59 |
It means what it says, |
01:04:01 |
Do you think my boat was sunk by an 'Act of God'? |
01:04:03 |
Who can say with these things? |
01:04:06 |
The insurance companies |
01:04:09 |
But we don't go running around saying when |
01:04:15 |
Did God make the bolt of lightning |
01:04:19 |
Yes, and no. |
01:04:21 |
These things do not have easy answers. |
01:04:23 |
If you can't tell me what's an 'Act of God' |
01:04:28 |
how can some shiny-arse |
01:04:31 |
Quiet, please. |
01:04:34 |
If God does exist, |
01:04:39 |
The Churches can only win if they |
01:04:48 |
Do you want to tell them? |
01:04:52 |
Aren't you hopelessly compromised, Your Eminence? |
01:04:57 |
That we mustn't take his name in vain? |
01:05:01 |
Using his name to justify a |
01:05:05 |
It comes close to it, |
01:05:08 |
Isn't that blasphemy? |
01:05:10 |
To be truthful, I suspect we haven't |
01:05:14 |
Do you think it's because the Churches, |
01:05:17 |
whose combined wealth could easily |
01:05:21 |
are massive shareholders in financial institutions, |
01:05:28 |
What are you doing |
01:05:37 |
We are not perfect, Mr. Myers. |
01:05:40 |
We've been on the wrong side |
01:05:44 |
We are blind to much injustice, |
01:05:48 |
- Guilty, no question. |
01:05:54 |
Good, it would take eternity to hear it. |
01:05:58 |
I want to know if you recognise |
01:06:03 |
A little intolerance, perhaps? |
01:06:07 |
I'm not the one on trial. |
01:06:09 |
And nor is God, I assure you. |
01:06:11 |
My god is an eternal wellspring |
01:06:15 |
of love, hope and inspiration for millions. |
01:06:20 |
He moves mountains. |
01:06:23 |
How does your faith compare with that god? |
01:06:27 |
- It's a poor world without faith. |
01:06:33 |
I mean love of God. |
01:06:38 |
Have you felt that? |
01:06:43 |
the loss of your boat is nothing. |
01:06:50 |
Who knows? |
01:06:54 |
It was a sign? |
01:06:57 |
- I wouldn't rule it out. |
01:07:01 |
- You are excused, Your Eminence. |
01:07:06 |
The court is adjourned for lunch. |
01:07:16 |
Anna, I'm sorry, |
01:07:22 |
That's a joke. Any decent legal system would have |
01:07:26 |
for public nuisance. Instead of that, |
01:07:30 |
and we're looking at half a billion |
01:07:32 |
At least the cardinal |
01:07:35 |
That bloody took time to fight after all. |
01:07:40 |
What are you going to do? |
01:07:45 |
Make his miserably life more miserable. |
01:07:50 |
- Have we taken care of the girlfriend? |
01:07:57 |
- Bye, Anna. |
01:08:02 |
Westerly winds from the Red Centre |
01:08:07 |
casting an eerie glow over the |
01:08:15 |
Your Honour, I'd like to call |
01:08:24 |
Retired senior constable Gidman |
01:08:29 |
- Makes him look criminal. |
01:08:32 |
Obstructing a bulldozer, drunk and disorderly, |
01:08:38 |
He was having a pee off his boat. |
01:08:40 |
The former policeman also said that |
01:08:45 |
involving his ex-wife and her de-facto |
01:08:49 |
- And inappropriate for a 12 year old girl. |
01:08:53 |
I said, switch it off. |
01:08:55 |
Myers had apparently paid no tax for 3 years, |
01:09:06 |
There have been questions about |
01:09:09 |
that have threatened |
01:09:11 |
Cockroach! Bloody sewer rats! |
01:09:18 |
It's not gonna work for them, though. |
01:09:22 |
- What's the matter? |
01:09:25 |
I'm not gonna let this |
01:09:29 |
There you are. |
01:09:33 |
- To say what? |
01:09:37 |
- But he didn't. |
01:09:45 |
What's next? |
01:09:48 |
Just you wait and see. |
01:09:54 |
Your honour, I'd like to call... |
01:09:59 |
Anna Redmond. |
01:10:16 |
I swear by Almighty God that the evidence I shall |
01:10:27 |
- You are a journalist for The National? |
01:10:32 |
- Was it something to do with Mr. Myers? |
01:10:36 |
No, God is. And at any other time in |
01:10:41 |
The Almighty surely has the right |
01:10:45 |
Proceed. |
01:10:49 |
I ask you again, |
01:10:53 |
- The thought crossed my mind. |
01:10:57 |
You have a keen interest in his case, |
01:11:01 |
made numerous radio appearances. |
01:11:04 |
It's newsworthy. |
01:11:05 |
You could sell his story for twice |
01:11:12 |
Will you tell the court about Michael? |
01:11:18 |
We have the letters. |
01:11:20 |
I presume you mean...? |
01:11:31 |
He died. I found him on the carpet. |
01:11:36 |
I should tell the court that Michael was a goldfish. |
01:11:42 |
How much did you get for it |
01:11:48 |
- I don't remember. Who cares? |
01:11:51 |
Do you know how many claims you've |
01:11:56 |
Injury to a cat from a |
01:11:59 |
That nearly killed her. |
01:12:02 |
Not before you stood on her |
01:12:05 |
It is a history of unremitting obsession. |
01:12:09 |
- I think that's overstating it. |
01:12:12 |
Everyone was legitimate. |
01:12:15 |
- You don't like insurance companies, do you? |
01:12:20 |
Will you tell the court what happened |
01:12:26 |
1966? Don't be ridiculous. |
01:12:31 |
It's a quiz, is it? |
01:12:33 |
1966, 23rd of March...? |
01:12:35 |
Martin Luther King got shot? |
01:12:37 |
The war ended? |
01:12:41 |
- What were you doing? |
01:12:45 |
Did it? |
01:12:46 |
The insurance company |
01:12:49 |
- They said it was arson. |
01:12:55 |
- That it wasn't arson. |
01:12:58 |
It wasn't arson. It was their excuse |
01:13:03 |
We lost everything. |
01:13:05 |
You've never forgotten, have you? |
01:13:08 |
My father went to jail. |
01:13:12 |
Isn't it true that because of that incident |
01:13:18 |
When you saw his little game, you saw a chance |
01:13:21 |
to satisfy your lifelong passion for revenge? |
01:13:24 |
Attempts to make the biggest |
01:13:28 |
It is a fraud, a hoax, a swindle. |
01:13:33 |
- at night they chase the loot. |
01:13:37 |
Why are you on the phones to the |
01:13:40 |
That's not true. |
01:13:42 |
I have small affidavits from two editors. |
01:13:46 |
I am happy to put them on the stand. |
01:13:52 |
We are fucked. |
01:13:55 |
Why didn't you tell me? |
01:13:56 |
It was not relevant. |
01:13:59 |
Of course it was relevant. |
01:14:02 |
- What's all that stuff about arson? |
01:14:05 |
- My father was a hundred miles away. |
01:14:09 |
We are buggered. |
01:14:13 |
How many claims was it? |
01:14:15 |
So what!? Do I persecute minorities? |
01:14:20 |
I made legitimate claims. |
01:14:26 |
He slandered me, he slandered my father. |
01:14:30 |
This is an attack on me |
01:14:33 |
- I'm not a crank. |
01:14:35 |
I wouldn't even be doing this |
01:14:37 |
I want my boat, it's all I ever wanted. |
01:14:40 |
I'm not the one following people, trying to |
01:14:47 |
The only reason I made that |
01:14:50 |
So that if everything fell apart |
01:14:55 |
So why didn't you say you'd been fired? |
01:14:57 |
For supporting you. Isn't that a joke? |
01:15:03 |
I don't know. |
01:15:07 |
Just go. |
01:15:10 |
Please just spare me the time. |
01:15:21 |
How the fuck are you |
01:16:20 |
Ryan wants me to testify |
01:16:24 |
And naturally you told him where to stuff it? |
01:16:28 |
He's gonna put me on the stand. If I deny it, |
01:16:34 |
If you deny it? |
01:16:39 |
Senior partnership? |
01:16:42 |
He did. |
01:16:44 |
Listen. Steve, please, |
01:16:48 |
You can't possibly win. |
01:16:51 |
Because they can't afford to lose. |
01:16:54 |
They've had you at moments, |
01:16:57 |
And excuse the pun, |
01:17:00 |
And you'll be sunk even deeper in |
01:17:03 |
They know that keeping you there |
01:17:08 |
Where will you be then? |
01:18:22 |
Drop your case. |
01:18:25 |
I'm sorry? |
01:18:27 |
You've dropped your case. |
01:19:31 |
If you give up your obsession, |
01:19:36 |
- You're not a crank. |
01:19:42 |
I could be in court for the next 20 years. |
01:19:48 |
How does a moral victory sound to you? |
01:19:53 |
There's a lot to be said for a moral victory. |
01:20:01 |
This may contain a few clues. |
01:20:05 |
"He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it." |
01:20:10 |
- No. |
01:20:13 |
"Wheresoever the carcass is, |
01:20:22 |
That's very interesting. |
01:20:30 |
What? |
01:20:32 |
You do know everybody thinks |
01:20:36 |
- Yes, well, why not? |
01:20:51 |
What would you say if I was to tell you |
01:20:56 |
Well, I'd say... |
01:21:14 |
What's that? |
01:21:17 |
I don't know. |
01:21:20 |
- Do you always sing afterwards? |
01:21:29 |
- It's very nice. |
01:21:35 |
You're quite wonderful, |
01:21:40 |
You make me feel wonderful. |
01:21:56 |
Rescue services are |
01:21:59 |
with bushfires now penetrating |
01:22:02 |
There are long delays as city-bound |
01:22:06 |
and motorists are advised to be patient. |
01:22:16 |
In federal court Steve Myers' |
01:22:19 |
Following revelations about his past, |
01:22:33 |
Look who's here. |
01:22:35 |
- Darling princess Ornatharicus. |
01:22:42 |
No matter what happens today, |
01:22:45 |
There's no need to go to Perth. |
01:22:48 |
I will pay you back. |
01:22:51 |
Where is Arthur? |
01:22:54 |
I thought what they did to you |
01:22:58 |
- They're pretty tough on him too. |
01:23:03 |
- Is she nice? |
01:23:10 |
What? |
01:23:12 |
I'm proud of you, whatever happens. |
01:23:18 |
Nothing could stop us now. |
01:23:35 |
Is it enough, do you think, a moral victory? |
01:23:38 |
What other kind is there? |
01:23:43 |
- I call David Myer. |
01:23:47 |
What? He can't do that. |
01:23:50 |
- Yes, he can. But he'd better explain. |
01:23:54 |
I brought an action against |
01:23:58 |
- The defendant does not exist? |
01:24:02 |
If God doesn't exist, they don't |
01:24:05 |
The God of the 'Act of God' |
01:24:09 |
Not one person in this courtroom has |
01:24:14 |
It's a lie that they use to |
01:24:19 |
the kind of people |
01:24:27 |
There's something else. |
01:24:31 |
If God exists, |
01:24:35 |
I don't think he sits around |
01:24:40 |
I don't think he causes |
01:24:45 |
or dreams up ways |
01:24:49 |
If there is a God, surely he is everywhere. |
01:24:54 |
He's in the sea, he's in a lobster, |
01:24:59 |
he's in a woman's thigh, |
01:25:04 |
He's in the face. |
01:25:12 |
How can I sue these things? |
01:25:15 |
"All other things to the destruct should draw, |
01:25:20 |
That's what I told you. |
01:25:23 |
Maybe you were right. My boat was a tiny little |
01:25:32 |
Losing it was nothing. |
01:25:36 |
How can I sue God for an act |
01:25:42 |
For an act of love. |
01:25:46 |
- Pax vobiscum. |
01:25:49 |
Mazel tov. |
01:26:30 |
- It's a sign. |
01:26:33 |
- A winged messenger. |
01:27:02 |
I think, under the circumstances, |
01:27:25 |
Mr. Myers did more than prove that |
01:27:30 |
- A very strange thing happened today... |
01:27:34 |
that even in this globalised world, |
01:27:42 |
Two very strange things happened today... |
01:27:46 |
Mr. Myers has established to my satisfaction |
01:27:50 |
That an 'Act of God', |
01:27:53 |
is oppressive and exploitative, |
01:27:59 |
and almost certainly wrong in law. |
01:28:03 |
He has withdrawn his case, |
01:28:08 |
The position of the insurance |
01:28:12 |
and in my view unlikely to survive |
01:28:17 |
Your Honour, |
01:28:19 |
with the greatest respect, |
01:28:24 |
Yes. And they will have to |
01:28:29 |
- Amor vincet omnie. |
01:28:33 |
Court is adjourned. |
01:28:55 |
Please tell the American people |
01:28:58 |
I feel terrific, thank you very much. |
01:29:04 |
What happens with your co-plaintiffs? |
01:29:07 |
Mr. David Myers will be representing them. |
01:29:09 |
- Will they be suing God? |
01:29:14 |
The way is now open, |
01:29:18 |
- Is the world a better place today? |
01:29:24 |
Every right-minded person knows that |
01:29:28 |
but now that it's over I'll say this: |
01:29:30 |
It's a great victory for ordinary people, |
01:29:35 |
- Did we win? |
01:29:40 |
It's been a tumultuous couple of hours |
01:29:43 |
where all the large insurance |
01:29:46 |
There's panic at insurance offices |
01:29:48 |
with thousands of customers demanding refunds. |
01:29:55 |
- I suppose the best is to take the long view. |
01:29:59 |
We survived, but I certainly |
01:30:04 |
- I have a depression. |
01:30:08 |
- Your grace, you got crucified. |
01:30:12 |
Cal's suing? Good on you. |
01:30:14 |
Against Monarch Alliance |
01:30:17 |
Section 52 of the Trade Practices Act. |
01:30:20 |
- God is our copyright. |
01:30:24 |
We won't be needing you on this one, Gerry. |
01:30:29 |
- God is love. |
01:30:32 |
It's what happens when we |
01:30:36 |
I'm against all these lawsuits. |
01:30:39 |
- They're gonna sue you for billions. |
01:30:47 |
We've got to get back to our |
01:30:51 |
- We could help fund their case. |
01:30:54 |
you want to win this case |
01:30:59 |
That's easier said than done. |
01:31:01 |
I saw an article which said |
01:31:04 |
- A science magazine? |
01:31:08 |
It's a question of faith. Either you |
01:31:13 |
Pinch me. Tell me I'm dreaming. |
01:31:57 |
How long is it going to take you |
01:32:00 |
Not long. |
01:32:01 |
Twenty, thirty, forty years. |
01:32:06 |
You've just been offered $250.000 |
01:32:10 |
- No, I couldn't do that. |
01:32:16 |
Actually, it's worse than that. |
01:32:18 |
You've been offered $350.000 for |
01:32:24 |
The full kissy-wissy, touchy-watchy? |
01:32:27 |
- The steamy story. |
01:32:32 |
- I can pay Les back. |
01:32:35 |
$200.000 would buy a beautiful boat. |
01:32:39 |
I always fancied sailing to Shanghai. |
01:32:44 |
It's too late, it's ruined. |
01:32:51 |
- There's pirates on the way. |
01:32:54 |
Typhoons, malaria... |
01:32:57 |
Arthur, how do you like |
01:33:01 |
They eat dogs in Hanoi. |
