Buckley's Chance

Can you stay with me?

Please?

I need a sunset shot for the end of the movie.

Ok. Show me this new fancy camera

your parents spent way too much money on.

You won't regret it.

Look at that picture.

It's perfect, mom.

I can't wait to show dad.

Excuse me, but-

Not exactly JFK, huh?

Your grandfather said he'd be here.

I wonder where he is.

Are you getting a signal?

Hey!

Kangaroo!

Made you look.

Why are we even here?

We're here to spend time with your grandfather.

I've never even met this guy.

We're moving in with a total stranger.

That's Dad's dad?

I don't know who that is.

You must be Gloria.

I'm Jules.

Spencer sent me to fetch ya.

Nice to meet you.

You must be Ridley.

How're ya goin', mate?

Hey.

I'll grab the bags.

I'm sorry to hear about Bryce.

You knew my husband?

Of course.

We were mates from school.

I used to fight him for his lunch money.

Never got it, though.

I'm surprised he never mentioned me.

No, sorry.

He uh, he talked a lot about his mom and someone named Julie?

Ha.

The bugger.

That's me.

Julie.

I hated being called that.

It made Bryce happy.

He'll be missed.

You must be proud of your dad, mate.

I heard he saved seven people.

Three.

What?

He saved three people.

Still, not bad, hey?

Yeah, no.

Totally worth it.

Well, let's hit the track, hey?

Is all of this Spencer's land?

As far as the eye can see.

Woah!

Are you ok, honey?

Spencer?

So they tell me.

It's very nice to uh, finally meet you in person, Gloria.

Welcome to Buckley's Chance.

Goats scare ya?

I was not scared.

Good day, Ridley. How're ya goin'?

Hi, uh, grandpa.

Spencer. Call me Spencer.

The dingo got in under the fence again.

They steal the eggs and spook the hens.

They're a bloody nuisance.

Are they dangerous?

If you see any around here, tell us.

The only place they belong is deep in the outback.

Or deep in the ground.

Well, this is lovely.

I reckon it could use a woman's touch.

Take the bags in, you Galah.

Touchy, touchy.

So does everyone out here run a sheep farm?

No.

Come on, let's show Riddles his room.

Riddles?

Hey, Ridley, look.

It's your dad playing rugby.

Yeah, cool.

Bryce never told me he played.

Was he good?

Good?

He was better than good.

Aye, Spence?

He was the best player to ever come out of these parts,

that's for sure.

Maybe you should focus on unloading

the rest of the bags and spare us the sports review.

When you've done that,

get some of the boys to double check the south lines.

I'm pretty sure I saw a pack of them

digging and tearing up the fence.

Right-o.

Ok.

Not bad, huh?

This place is bigger than our whole apartment.

When you're ready, Riddles,

we'll take a look around the place.

It's Ridley.

What?

Can you call me Ridley?

Right then.

I'll let you two get settled.

You're next door.

Would it kill you to be nice?

Would it kill him to say my name right?

It's cute.

He wants to give you a nickname.

I think it's an Australian thing.

Hey, at least be polite.

Is it too early to say I hate it here?

Yes.

What option do we have?

How about leaving and going back to New York?

No.

We tried it your way, remember?

It's funny, this is the last place

your dad would ever have expected us to end up.

Oy, Riddles.

Come on.

Come and have a look around, mate.

It's Ridley.

Hey, Riddles.

Climb up the ladder.

Go on.

You're not scared of heights, are ya?

No.

Oy.

Eh?

Check out that cheeky fella.

I'm surprised not to see his pack nearby.

Dingos run in packs for the most part.

They play together, hunt together,

stay safe together.

One big happy family.

But sometimes one of the young ones gets kicked out

or wants to go out on his own for whatever reason.

So what will happen to him?

Probably get killed, either by a hunter, a farmer.

A few make it on their own.

But sometimes they find their own way back to their pack.

Hey, look over there.

That's where you're gonna go to school.

Budgie's Knob.

Hey, don't look at me, mate.

White fellas named that.

So how am I supposed to get to Budgie's Knob every day?

School bus.

If old Barney hasn't put it into a ditch.

Or you can ride the four wheeler.

Go on, hop on.

Ok.

Here.

Keep that in a safe place.

Ok, there's your brakes on both sides.

That lever down there is your gears.

You'll lift it up, ok?

There's your start button on the left.

When you wanna take off...

That's the throttle.

Jules!

Ridley needs a helmet if he's gonna ride one of those.

Helmet!

Isn't it dangerous out there?

Very.

Shouldn't Ridley be back by now?

He's probably having too much fun.

Spencer, Ridley's from the city.

He doesn't know what's out there.

Well, now's his chance to find out.

Are you gonna go look for him?

Or do I have to?

Hit the trench, did ya?

Were you not looking at the road?

Were you looking in the camera when you were driving?

Yeah, well that was bloody stupid.

Give me a hand turning it over, will ya?

There you go.

See? It's fine.

Follow me back to the house.

And if I see your face in a camera

I'll toss it in a billabong!

Yeah, well, I don't even know what a billabong is!

So, can we make a deal?

No more wild AVT rides?

It's ATV.

Whatever.

No more Mad Max-ing around the outback.

Yeah, well, I don't think I'm allowed to drive them anymore.

Did Spencer say that?

Yeah.

He said I need to learn to be responsible first.
