Once Were Warriors

Whoo-hoo!

G-a-b, hey! G-a-b, hey!

It's so much soul

Who's got the souls of Rolling Stones?

On the road that's cold

What do we do? We G-a-b

With the groove, with the vibe

With the rhythm completely

Jump on the mike, I bet

We got soul, and don't you forget it

So come, come, come, come, come again

I'm rocking on the mike

So much soul

We're young, we're hip

Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up...

Come on, man. Let's go.

We've got soul

We've got soul

Uh, uh, uh, uh-huh

I got it, you got it

I got it, you got it

He's got soul

I got it, you got it

Here we go, here we go

You got it

1, 2, here we go again

Your mouth's ready to blow again

Making sure, jack...

"Reihi was a Taniwha.

"She lived at the bottom of a huge lake.

"She spent most of her time

"taking care of a greenstone wall.

"The wall stopped the water

"from flooding over the people

"who lived by Reihi's lake.

"Once a month, the people would bring

"a huge piece of greenstone

to help Reihi keep the wall strong. "

...especially if you drive around

the big towns, people.

Hope you love my wife, you know...

I was just checking out

the weather situation.

A few showers as well

and light winds at first,

but it's going to be getting better

throughout the day and the night...

A bit of cloud and a bit of rain as well.

People, I've just had a phone call from Darren.

Now, apparently, Darren's just lost his girlfriend.

Brother...

I'd say we are in business, my man.

What's happening, everybody?

Aah!

Settle down!

"Then the children would run and laugh

"Then the children would run and laugh

as they collected all the fish Reihi had left for them. "

Was it a good story, kids?

Well, I liked it.

No. It's dumb.

What's a Taniwha?

It's a creature that looks after people.

Where the fuck is everyone?!

What are you doing home?

I got something for you.

Come on, Hu, let's go!

What do you reckon, kids?

- Yeah! - Yeah!

Oh, yum!

Oh, Jake!

Look at all the kai moana!

Bloody oceans of the stuff!

- I'm hungry! - Me, too!

Go on, kids. Grab some.

Take it outside.

Come on, Hu.

Got to eat them outside.

Where the fuck you off to? Come have a feed, boy.

No.

Fuck him.

Jake, not on the table, hon.

Oh, why not? I want a feed.

Well, the kids might come in.

Well, what about the chair?

Remember?

So...

where did all the seafood come from?

I got lucky.

I got laid off.

What?

Whoa, whoa, woman. Let me finish.

Jake Heke, you've got a family to feed.

You've got bills.

Look, I've signed up for the dole.

It's only 17 bucks a week less than my wages.

Well, don't look like that. It's not the end of the world.

What about our house?

We got a house,

and the government ain't going to kick us out.

The rent's cheap.

I want us to have our own home, Jake.

Damn you. We can't make bloody ends meet as it is.

Forget the bloody house.

Let's talk about the bedroom.

Oh, don't, Jake!

You fucking got to spoil everything, don't you?

Fuck you!

Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah

Scoo da da do wa oh

Ooh, I left this mark on this world

Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah

Scoo da da do wa oh

Yo, Toot.

Yo, G.

What you up to?

Oh, you know, a bit of this and the other.

You never know when the Queen might drop by.

Well, if she does, here's something to feed her.

Bloody Santa Claus!

Do you think we'll ever get out of here, Toot?

I don't know.

Maybe.

You know, when I'm old enough

to get the dole,

I might just do this baby up and drive on out.

Can I come, too?

Of course. You're my best mate.

Hey, Gracie, did you bring your book?

Oh, I forgot.

I just finished a new story, too,

but I can remember most of it.

Choice!

The story was about a Taniwha.

Do you know what a Taniwha is?

Well, Reihi was a Taniwha.

She lived at the bottom of this lake.

Now, she spent most of her time

looking after this huge greenstone wall.

The wall stopped the water

from flooding over the people

who lived by Reihi's lake.

Once a month, the people would bring...

Beth Heke?

What now?

Been keeping bad company.

Was that before or after you picked him up?

So what's the charge?

Oh, he's lucky this time.

Two older boys stole the car.

He's just hanging around with the wrong crowd.

Still, it's not going to look good tomorrow

when he appears in court on those other charges.

You think you know everything about us, don't you?

It's my job.

Is she a Taniwha, Mom?

No, son.

Well, we'll leave Boogie with you, then.

- Mark. - Pardon?

My son's name is Mark.

Well, that's not the name he gave us.

You get those lonely, lonely

Lonely, lonely blues

When you're on your own

Mm-hmm

So all you've got to do

Is call up on the phone

No need to be alone

Mm-hmm

And if you lose your way

And you've got nowhere to go...

The usual.

What's your fucking problem?

The man can sure pack a punch.

He's been behind bars, I bet.

Yeah, right. Bloody zoo.

If I wanted to drink with women,

I'd drink in the bloody lounge bar, huh?

I've had women up to here.

Come on, Polly. Help your sister.

Set the table, girl.

There are reports that they've had

at least one sighting of the Virgin.

Oh, no wonder we got it...

Why, Boog?

Don't know.

You don't know?

Do you know

you have to go to court tomorrow?

Do you remember what Bennett said?

Jeez, Boog, what's bloody wrong with you?

Don't know.

When you were a kid, you wouldn't even take

a piece of fruit without asking.

You're going to come tomorrow, aren't you, Mom?

Yes, we'll be there. Will you?

Yeah. Just keep your hands

in your pockets there, brother.

Come on, bro. I'd just like to see them smile.

Oh, you mean like this?
