Brothers from Malta (2022) Movie Script
1
Seven years it was.
Seven years we didn't talk,
and it might have gone on forever.
Why don't you do what you do
What you do what you do
Why don't you do what you
do what you do what you do
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, whoa
Why do you do
What you do
Where you do it makes me feel so good
So I ask you too, why
do you do what you do
Why do you hurt me
And break my heart
I thought we'd stay together
And never part
So I ask you too, why
do you do what you do
I've been around this whole wide world
But I've never seen
A beautiful girl just like you
You are my
- Joe. Joe.
- Oh.
You were dreaming again. You okay?
Josie's on the phone.
Josie? What's wrong with you?
Do you know what bloody time it is here?
Joe!
How are you, all right?
What does that mean?
What's happening? Are you okay?
Joe?
Well, can't they operate or something?
Josie?
No treatment.
In this day and age?
She should bloody never have moved there.
All right. Should have stayed
here when we came from Malta.
- She loves LA.
- LA, LA. Bloody LA.
I bet you also the pollution. All right.
I saw it on a programme.
Smog everywhere.
Not like here.
Bloody paradise, Australia. Paradise.
It could be worse.
Why do you always have
to look on the bright side?
How can bloody anything be worse?
I mean at least you get to see her
before it's too late.
Huh?
There's no bloody constellation.
- Consolation.
- What?
- Of course, don't worry.
- I live in a safe place.
He is not my brother.
Never complained.
I don't even know she was sick.
Like a bloody rock!
We haven't seen her
since your brother's wedding.
- He's not my brother.
- Oh.
This thing with Charlie, it's ridiculous.
It's beyond ridiculous.
And if your sister
dying isn't a wake up call
for you to fix it,
then you are more stupid
and stubborn than I thought.
You know I would've
crash tackled you too if
you gave a speech like that.
I was only telling the truth.
You were telling a drunken
perception of the truth.
- Ugh. Love.
- What?
- Sit down.
- What?
I know you're not one for apologies,
but Josie's gonna need
her brothers back during this
and you're gonna need each other too.
It's time.
Hey, it's me. I'm still out with the girls.
My phone is about to die too
so you probably won't be able to reach me.
We'll talk tomorrow.
There's a few flights left tomorrow.
I only fly Qantas.
We haven't been on a
plane for 10 years, love.
- But when I do it's Qantas.
- Qantas it is.
All right. I call No-neck Georgie
first thing on the morning.
He always looks after me too.
He doesn't even charge commission.
When you call him No-neck Georgie.
That's his name.
He doesn't have a neck.
Okay, well you don't need to call him
'cause I can book it
now without commission.
How?
I'm online.
Well I'm off the bloody line, all right?
Where it's safe.
The internet is safe these days.
Your brainwashed.
Cash is king even more than Elvis.
All right, maybe not more than Elvis.
Just let me take care of the flights.
You need to be with Josie.
Are you sure you don't
want me to come with you?
Who's going to look
after everything here?
Poor Josie. I can't
believe this is happening.
It's a bloody tragedy.
Does Charlie fly Qantas too?
Hi. Oh my God.
You're already here mwah,
mwah, mwah and mwah mwah.
Oh my god.
I feel like we're family already.
Josie talks about her
brothers all the time.
He's not my brother.
Oh?
Oh! Good one.
Yeah. Funny.
Who the bloody hell are you?
I'm Marlene. Oh, I didn't
even introduce myself.
I'm Josie's neighbour.
I'm just here taking care of
Little Roxy while mommy's away.
Yes.
God, I'm glad you guys
made it here so quickly.
That flight was a long one.
Oh you bloody don't even
know it. I didn't sleep a wink.
- Oh.
- All right.
The bloody man snoring.
The kids kicking.
I hate flying.
Hmm. You must be Joe.
I thought so.
Well listen, at least the cab
drive wasn't so bad, right?
I mean traffic can be terrible around here.
God poor Josie, you know.
We have been neighbours
for such a long time.
So sad.
It's very sad.
Where is she?
Well, uh, they transferred her
to a private hospital just yesterday.
Nobody bloody told us that.
Well, I'm sure she just
didn't want you to worry.
Don't worry. She's only in San Jose.
- St. Joseph.
- No, no San Jose.
- That means St. Joseph.
- No it does not.
How far is San Jose?
San Jose is six hours north from here.
Josie left her car right in the back.
She said you could take it.
All right, well now that that's done,
you're gonna take this.
What are you doing?
Roxy's biscuits are by her water
and there's a piece of paper
on the piano with the address
and the telephone number to the hospital.
Where are you going?
- I'm late for work.
- You can't leave her with us.
Oh of course I can.
Besides you're family.
Can get through anything
together when your family.
I feel like you're my family, mwah.
Boop, boop. Okay, I'll see you guys later.
Oh, Josie wants you both to give her a call
as soon as you arrive.
So figure that out.
Who's bloody gonna pay for petrol?
It is time.
Her favourite.
Marlene said we need to call Josie.
Who the bloody the hell is Marlene?
The neighbour.
Oh well, then say the neighbour.
- We gonna call or not?
- We'll call her.
From the landline?
The mobile?
- We call her on the way.
- From where?
A bloody phone. What do you think?
You'd be lucky to find one these days.
Everyone's got a bloody mobile.
Then we see her when we get there.
Bloody six hours drive.
I've never driven that far in my life.
Because Malta's only
an hour to get around it.
Not if you bloody walk.
Come here, Roxy. Good dog.
What the bloody the hell are you doing?
We can't leave her here.
Why not?
She needs to run around.
She can bloody run around here.
And what about food and water?
I saw it before. Here, huh?
Roxy. She'll bloody work it out.
That's not right.
It's a bloody dog.
This is Josie's dog.
I didn't fly all the way
around the bloody world
to look after the dog.
- All right.
- Halfway.
It felt like all way.
She can sit in the back.
Well do what you want.
I am not picking up the shit.
Josie.
'63 Valiant. 225 Slant Six.
Bloody good motor go forever.
It's no Mustang. But it's nice.
- It's very nice.
- I like the color too.
Classic.
All right give me the keys so we go.
- Who says you're driving?
- I'm the bloody eldest.
So what?
- So I bloody the drive.
- You haven't even slept.
I'm still the eldest.
Where are you going?
Bloody flooded it.
What are you doing mate?
The keys.
I don't have to but I'll
give you a chance to win.
Heads or tails.
Tails.
Watch the bloody duco.
Heads.
- That's interference.
- With what?
It hit the car.
Heads again.
I'm still the eldest. I'm the eldest.
- What?
- Put it in the back.
All right, which way?
North she said.
I know she said north.
Which way is north?
See if she has a bloody map.
Bingo.
Ah, beautiful.
Everyone use the GPS these days.
Oh, GPS. Are we in the army?
We never had a bloody GPS.
We did all right.
A few bloody wrong turns here and there.
But that's how you learn.
My physio says it's not
good to keep it in your pocket.
Oh, physio.
Do you know they're not
even bloody real doctors.
- What do you mean?
- It's all a bloody racket.
I saw it on a programme.
I could be a physio.
- Don't know about that?
- Joe, the physio.
It even has a good bloody sound.
That would suck them in.
When your back says no
Call Joe
The physio
- What? You don't use them?
- Not anymore.
Come back for this.
Come back for that.
Make your next appointment.
I want to see you in a week.
And I never bloody finish.
It's true.
Not because of the physio,
because I decided.
Where did you get that?
- It's Josie's.
- It was mother's first.
She gave it to her.
- So it's Josie's.
- Why have you got it?
She thought she lost it at my wedding.
Josie told me not to forget it.
It's a family heirloom.
Sentimental.
Why didn't she ask me?
I'm the eldest.
Because I had it.
And you're not very approachable I guess.
Not approachable.
I'm the bloody eldest.
She wants to sit in the front.
I don't bloody give a
rat's ass what she wants.
She's a bloody dog.
She sits in the back, all right.
I'm not moving.
You're unbelievable.
Happy?
There's nothing to be happy about.
Oh, Roxy.
Josie must have let her sit in the front.
Well, I'm not Josephine.
I didn't say you were Josephine.
I'm saying that's why she's so happy here.
Look at her.
She won't be happy when
we have a bloody accident.
She's not gonna have an accident.
The bloody dog's not driving.
I'm not doing this the whole way.
You want me to sit in the back?
He's on the bloody wrong side.
You're on the wrong side.
We're in America.
The voice of an angel.
It's true.
All right.
- All right.
- Follow it.
- Roxy hold on.
- All right.
I can't-
Is it straight here or right?
You can't tell here, hold on.
You gotta to tell me it right.
Roxy, hold on. Roxy watch it.
- Right?
- You go straight.
- Straight or right?
- No straight.
You said it was bloody right before.
The right on the 101.
Right there.
- I told you not to.
- Go right, over here.
All right. Drive all you bloody want now.
Where the bloody hell he going, Roxy?
Just give it a moment.
Criminal. My bloody first
car didn't cost that much.
Look out.
Do I want to go to this party tonight?
No, because that girl smells like-
You're bloody crazy.
Excuse me.
Whoa. Killer wheels man.
- Thank you.
- What year is this?
- 63.
- Nice.
- Can I ask you a favour?
- Yeah.
- Can I use the phone?
- Oh.
I just have to call my sister.
- Oh yeah.
- Won't belong. One minute.
Okay, don't be long
'cause I don't have much credit on here.
I won't be long.
- I don't, don't have much.
- There's not much credit.
No, I won't be long.
Have a look at the car or something.
Look at the car?
Guess it is pretty nice.
Cool lights.
- Hello Riverview.
- Josephine Cauchi please.
- Surname again.
- Cauchi.
C for Charlie. A for alpha, U
for umbrella, C for Charlie...
One moment please.
Hello - Josie. All right?
Joe? You made it. Oh my God.
Are you in pain?
Is everything all right?
I'm fine.
Is Charlie with you?
You didn't bloody tell
me you're six hours away.
They brought me here. Where's Charlie?
- He's here.
- Was Marlene home?
Did she give you the keys?
Did you take my car?
What about Roxy?
One at a bloody time.
- Josie?
- Charlie.
Bloody let me talk with her.
- What you think I'm doing?
- I want talk with her.
Gimme the phone.
- Hey!
- What?
Put the phone between you.
- I hold it, I'm the eldest.
- Then hold it.
What do you think I'm bloody doing?
- Put it here.
- All right.
- Josie, you all right?
- Ah, my bloody ears.
- Hey, Charlie.
- Are you in pain?
No, I'm fine.
I love Roxy. She's beautiful.
She's bloody ugly.
Cute but ugly.
Oh Roxy, I miss her too.
Did you bring the broach Charlie?
I've got it, Josie.
Thanks.
Jos. Do me a favour here.
Bloody, can you ask 'em to bring you here?
Here's going to be much
easier for everybody.
They won't do it.
Well, I'm not driving across California
on the wrong side of the bloody road
with a smelly dog and a bloody dill.
You finished?
What can we do Jos?
They want to keep me here,
but I'm not dying in the hospital.
How can we help?
You are going to break me out of here.
I planned an escape.
Meet me outside the hospital
by the big tree at 6:00 PM sharp.
And don't be late because I only will have-
Jail break.
Sorry mate.
It's okay. Good luck with your sister.
Ah, here we go.
I love this spirit, uh.
Even in the face of death,
she goes her own way.
Like Frank Sinatra.
She has the right to do
whatever she bloody wants.
I wouldn't want to
die in a hospital either.
Do you think that will
make us an accomplice?
If we're lucky.
It's very exciting.
It's just like a bloody movie.
Like the Great Escape.
What's the other one? I like it.
Um, Stalag 17.
Papillon.
Cool Hand Luke.
East of Eden.
That's not a bloody escape movie.
No but it's a very good movie.
Very good movie.
Casablanca.
Citizen Kane.
Abbott and Costello in Hollywood.
Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy.
Abbott and Costello
in the Foreign Legion.
Abbot and Costello
Meet the Invisible Man.
I don't know why she called her Roxy.
It's not a very masculine name.
That's because she's a girl.
Looks like a boy.
Ah, she looks like old
man, but she's little girl.
She's a very good dog.
- Ah, yes.
- No barking.
No just farting.
Ah, she's a dog.
What you gonna do?
And the poo.
You have to bloody pick it up these days.
Of course.
I don't like the concept.
What concept?
Picking it up.
Dogs got to go?
I know that it has to go.
I don't mind that it goes.
I mind that we have to pick it up.
What about when it goes in your backyard?
No, then you pick it up.
It's the same outside.
Bloody what's happened in the old days?
No one used to bloody pick it up.
I don't know about that.
Look, I love dogs. All right.
We always had dogs in back home, remember?
But on the farm we never
bloody the picked up the poo.
They used to go away.
Do their bloody business.
Come back smiling.
Happy, more civilized just like us.
Civilized? We used
to step in all the time.
Don't ruin the memories.
Don't you walk away
Don't you walk away now
And then you take her to the vet.
I don't go to the vet.
What do you mean you don't go to the vet?
I don't go to the
vet. I don't believe in it.
When the dog gets
sick, you take it to the vet.
No, you don't.
Well what do you do?
I start with something and
they won't bloody stop, ta'.
You take him in for one thing to fix
and they come out with
something else bloody broken.
All right. I don't like vets.
And they always make you feel bad too,
if you don't do it.
Do you know any bloody vets?
No, I know mechanics.
Well it's like a car.
If the car broken, take it to the mechanic.
Let me tell you something
about bloody canines, mate.
All right, I'll give you a tip.
Joe's tip, all right.
Tip number one, when
the dog is six weeks old,
take it to the vet.
You just said you
don't take it to the vet.
Let me bloody finish! All right?
You take the dog to the vet.
Six weeks old for the vaccine.
All right. After that,
never step in there again.
You're a bloody mad mate.
Ever.
Tip number two with dogs,
you either get a good
one or you get a lemon.
All right.
If you get the lemon,
ah, you'll get the lemon.
What can you do? It's a bloody dud.
Nothing the vet can do to fix a dud.
All right. And you'll
save $10,000, all right.
But I still love it the same.
You're still a good boy or a good girl.
You're a very good girl, Roxy.
Looks like a good boy.
Either way. Don't take it to the vet.
Ah, my love I give you my devotion
I heard she's having a
baby mate. 15-years-old.
Oh, they're all having
them young these days.
What, 15?
- Nunna was 14.
- That's different.
What's different?
A baby 14, then 15, 16, 17 have a break 18.
Ah, then she have twins.
She was married wasn't she?
Oh, I don't believe
what you believe. All right.
I don't go to church anymore.
I'm not going to do this again.
He's watching now.
Don't say it in the car.
- What are you looking at?
- Nothing.
I tell you what, it's
very bloody scenery.
Not like Hollywood.
- Oh bloody Hollywood.
- There's no more Hollywood.
They don't make them like they used to.
No. Superheroes now.
That's what the people want.
The people are bloody stupid.
That's where the money is.
Well I'm not gonna spend my money
to bloody see a poser in a cartoon.
I don't think they need your money mate.
You want to see a real
superhero. Go watch John Wayne.
Or Charlie Bronson.
- Even Clint Eastwood.
- The early ones.
Of course, I've got them all.
- On VHS?
- On DVD!
We're having a bloody good run.
How long to go?
Ah, it's just like 250
miles. So what's that?
Like 400 kilometers.
It's not even midday.
What time do we have to meet Josie?
Six o'clock sharp she said.
No problem mate.
I don't like leaving her in the car.
You can't bring a
bloody dog in a restaurant.
- It's a diner.
- It's still food.
Bloody, look at all these pies.
There's chocolate cream
pie, cherry pie, pecan pie,
and the coffee is free refill.
Free. I'll believe it
when I bloody see it.
Well it says it right here.
Nothing in this world is free.
Good morning gentlemen. My name's Torrey.
I'll be your waitress today.
What can I get for you?
Hello lovey.
I'm gonna have the House of Pie
Ultimate breakfast combo please.
Can I ask you a question?
- The coffee is free refill?
- That's right.
And will you be having
the pancakes or waffles?
No. The House of Pie breakfast.
The three eggs, two bacon, sausage,
ham, hash, brown and toast.
Yes sir. But it also
comes with your choice
of three buttermilk pancakes
or a golden Belgian waffle.
It comes with three
pancakes or one waffle.
- It's your choice.
- Same price?
I take the three pancakes.
I've never heard your accent before.
Where are you guys from?
- We're Maltese.
- Oh, the Maldives.
I've always wanted to go there.
Maltese. From Malta.
Don't they bloody teach
you anything in school?
Oh, that's a lot of
passion you have there.
They used to call me the Maltese lover.
- No, they didn't.
- But they could have.
But they didn't.
But they could have and I didn't know it.
And what can I get for you?
Just a coffee for me.
- Joe you have to eat something.
- At least have piece of pie.
I only eat what I grow.
- He's on a diet now.
- I'm not on a bloody diet.
You're paleo.
I'm Joe not Paolo.
No paleo. It's a diet.
I'm not on a bloody diet.
I'll get you that coffee.
Thank you very much. It's very nice.
- What are you doing?
- What?
- You don't have to be rude.
- I wasn't rude.
You were yelling at her.
She said I was on a diet.
So bloody what?
I'm not on a bloody diet
You are on something mate.
What you mean?
- What you writing?
- Doesn't matter.
Where did you go?
The cook. He was
throwing out all the bread.
I showed them how to make pudina.
Never waste the tea.
- That's right.
- What's pudiner?
Pudina.
It's bread pudding.
Back home we cook it
what we bloody the had.
It's best with tea or coffee.
What's in it?
It's just some leftover
bread and some bloody raisins.
I like to put a bit of cocoa,
brown sugar, cinnamon
and some orange, the rind.
All right. Little bit of
chocolate too if you have it.
But you don't need it.
It sounds yummy.
It's very bloody nice. All right.
And you tell him to
give you some. All right.
Yeah. Well.
Thank you.
She's bloody good waitress.
- Very good.
- Yes.
I think I'll go check on her.
Eat your food before it gets cold.
Oh. Taste the pancakes.
- I'm not tasting them.
- Well smell them.
I'm not tasting them
and I'm not smelling them.
Do what you want.
I want to get back on the road.
Back on the... We just got here.
Sit down. Relax.
Relax, relax. The word
of today bloody relax.
I don't relax. All right.
What happened to the
early worm gets the bird?
He didn't relax did he? That's
why he got the bloody bird.
More coffee gentlemen.
You ready now?
I'm waiting for you.
- Thank you.
- Another coffee?
- We've had six cups.
- It's still bloody free?
Yes sir.
- Maybe just one more.
- For the road.
I'll get those coffees to go.
- Go where?
- I don't know.
Plus tax and tip.
I bloody told you it wasn't free.
Coffees to go.
Takeaway. Takeaway.
- Takeaway.
- Thank you.
Excuse me love.
Does the tip here go to
everybody or just you?
This is for you.
Don't share it. All
right. You are very good.
And I left the bloody cook a
recipe tip already. Priceless.
Okay, thanks guys.
Did you get out from my side?
Why would I get out from your side?
The bloody the door's not locked.
Well maybe you didn't lock it properly.
I'm not stupid.
I didn't say you were stupid,
bloody lucky Roxy didn't get out.
Come on Roxy. Good girl. Good girl.
What's that?
Pretzel.
Where'd you get them?
I got them from the aeroplane.
You said you only ate what you grow.
Unless it's free.
Even on the girls now.
- What?
- Tattoos.
Boys, girls. What's the difference?
Oh come on.
Only the bloody bikies get tattoos.
That's not true anymore.
Willy bloody nilly now.
- I might get one.
- What?
I might get a tattoo.
Why would you bloody do that to yourself?
Self-expression.
Write a bloody poem. Self-expression.
I think some of them look very nice.
Wait until your blood are
fat, old and ugly. All right.
I'm going to live fast and die young.
Kinda like James Dean.
Jim Morrison
Ritchie Valens. Remember him?
He had the one.
Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna
I had the girl
Donna was the name
Since she left me
I never be the same
Because I love my girl
Donna where can you be
Good girl Roxy. That's bloody music.
- Oh Roxy, not again.
- Another one.
Very good Roxy.
Where you going?
She needs to piddle.
Come on Roxy. Come on.
Good girl Roxy.
Good girl Roxy.
Where's the...
Have you got the brooch?
I've got it.
All right. We call the police.
What the hell are they gonna do?
We need to meet Josie at six.
If you bloody had of stayed in the car,
this never would've happened.
You shouldn't have left
the keys in the ignition.
I thought you took them.
Why would I take them?
Because you got out
of the bloody car last.
- Where did you go anyway?
- I had the piddle.
So did Roxy.
Oh something's bloody never change.
What's that's supposed to mean?
Nothing.
Well just tell me.
Tell me.
We could never rely on you.
- Who's we?
- Me and pop.
What's pop got to do with it?
Don't Bloody push it with me.
Well don't talk in bloody riddles.
Say what you wanna say.
The ladder. All right. The ladder.
The ladder. I was five.
He wasn't supposed to die.
All right. Not like that. You
were bloody day dreaming.
He shouldn't have put his safety
in the hands of a five-year-old.
Anyway you were there.
Why didn't you hold it?
Because he asked you!
You couldn't help?
Oh, tell yourself whatever you have to.
It's easy for you.
He took you everywhere with him. All right.
Never took me anywhere. Neither do you.
We always went together.
As a family with mommy and Josie.
- I helped him. All right.
- He bloody relied on me.
He would.
The strong one, the favourite, the eldest.
What do you want Charlie?
- You're just like him.
- Good.
Blame everyone but yourself.
If I was to blame I would.
- Have you ever been to blame?
- No.
Where were you when
I needed my big brother?
I beat up all those bloody kids
that picked on you in school.
I never asked.
That's the bloody thanks I get.
You picked on them
'cause you're a bully yourself.
All right. You liked it. You
enjoyed it. Made you feel good.
Don't let anyone push you around.
You pushed them around first.
You don't know what you're talking about.
I needed a big brother, not body guard.
- Well you got me.
- Yeah. Not by choice.
- Where's Roxy?
- I don't bloody know.
Roxy, Roxy. Roxy.
She could be anywhere by now.
Day dreamer.
Again?
You were looking after her. Not me.
She was standing
right in front of both of us.
You shouldn't have
gone out of the bloody car.
If you blame me again for losing
the car, you're gonna regret it. All right.
Is that right?
You are going to make me regret it.
Where are you going?
Roxy.
All right. Go. Go.
Roxy.
Roxy. Roxy.
Roxy. Come on Roxy.
Roxy.
Rox.
Come on Roxy.
Roxy.
Roxy.
Come on Roxy.
Roxy, Roxy.
Roxy.
Gimme the damn brooch.
Please it's my sisters.
She's only got three weeks to-
Hey!
And who are you?
Give it back to my brother.
Everything!
- Oh God. Okay. Okay.
- Apologise to him!
- I'm sorry.
- All right.
Get out of here!
Before I bloody lose my temper.
Who the hell are those guys?
That's the Maltese power.
Say it.
- Say what?
- You didn't ask for my help.
- I wasn't gonna say that.
- What were you going to say?
That you called me your brother?
I am gonna miss her.
Me too Charlta'.
She's still so young.
I should have been holding the ladder.
What?
With pop.
I should have been holding the ladder.
I blamed you, all the years I blamed you.
We were kids. Just kids.
But I was the big brother.
It's not our fault.
It's not our fault.
I'm sorry Charlie.
I'm very sorry.
And the wedding.
- Here we go.
- I was drunk. All right.
There's no excuse.
But Charlie, I don't think
she was good for you. All right.
Someone who will be there
to the blood of hard times.
And I don't know what you have together.
- No.
- Only the couple can know.
All right. But let me
say something, all right.
If a woman doesn't make you a better man,
if she pisses on your blood
fire, instead of putting timber
to make the big fire, then
you need to piss her off.
Where we gonna go? We have to find Roxy.
We pray to Saint Anthony.
What?
Dear Saint Anthony,
please, please come around.
Something we lost it and cannot be found.
- Roxy.
- Roxy.
You believe now Thomas?
How long to go?
150 miles.
That's two and a half hours.
We're not gonna make it.
We'll bloody make it. Don't worry mate.
I'm gonna show you the bloody driving
that made me famous in 67'.
Scalextrics?
It was a bloody race wasn't it?
With slot cars.
Oh, just bloody hold on.
One, two hypnotize you
On the count of three
She'll steal your soul, take
control and leave you cold
Never knowing how she did it
Once she memorize you,
have you on your knees
On the floor, begging for more
A look is all she needs
Her lips are cherry red
I give em' a look to knock em' dead
Legs so long and fine
She'll kick your ass and blow your mind
She got ooh yeah
She got oh-oh, oh-oh
Ooh yeah
Oh-Oh
Is this it?
- This is the address.
- I can't see here.
- We're bloody too late.
- Only a few minutes.
I told you it was left back there.
It felt like a right.
It's on the map.
Where's the tree?
What tree?
She's supposed to be
standing by a big tree.
There's bloody trees
everywhere! Big tree.
Check the address again.
- You think I'm stupid?
- Did I call you stupid?
I can hear it through your teeth.
What am I a bloody trans-viloquist?
A what?
- With the The puppet.
- Ventriloquist.
Oh, that's what I bloody said.
Josie there she is. Josie here!
Jos! Jos!
- Josie!
- I'm here Charlie!
Get it, get in!
I've always wanted to do this.
Joe step on it.
All right?
Oh Josie.
Just like a movie.
That's what we said.
I finally got my part.
The lead role.
If only someone was filming.
We both were.
Brothers! I miss you two.
All right. All right Josie.
You two look great.
And you look too good
for someone who's dying.
- Joe!
- What?
I take that as a compliment, Joe.
This is amazing.
It's beautiful. I thought
we'd miss you ta'.
We're running a little bit behind.
Only a few minutes.
I knew eventually you either get here
or you kill each other.
You said you planned
the escape for six sharp.
I could have left anytime.
What?
- What about the matron?
- Which matron?
That was Marlene.
Who the bloody the hell is Marlene.
- The neighbour.
- Oh then say the neighbour.
- You set us up.
- Set up what?
Everything.
You know
what we've been through today?
No, but I would love to hear about it.
You don't play jokes like that.
Well, nothing else was working.
Well I tried everything and I hate flying.
You are crazy.
Ooh, that one in the jeans.
- You have the brooch?
- Here you go.
Perfect.
I'm the eldest. I should
have brought it. All right.
I didn't know you two weren't talking
for the past seven years.
- It's a family heirloom.
- Family heirloom!
I want to sell to buy another classic.
And I already have a buyer.
The music empowers the people
Gotta spread the word around
Don't look back over your shoulder
I'm movin' to the sound
Push forward over the rainbow
Dancin' too the town
My sisters and my brothers
We got one chance so don't play around
The music empowers the people
You hurt your back Joe.
I call the physio.
No physio.
Charlie finally woke up
and the letter he was
writing in his notebook,
a love letter I found out.
Well, that become a breakup letter.
So Josie gave him a little
something to help him through it.
- Good girl. Roxy.
- Roxy.
Good girl Roxy. Good dog.
Rox good girl. All right Rox. All right.
Too late now.
I was going to do it.
When?
Half the bloody day is gone.
It's bloody at 7:00 AM.
Roxy.
Good girl Roxy.
- Bloody Joan Collins.
- What?
New chairs now?
I got them on sale.
Nothing's a sale if you don't need it.
$10,
for both.
That is a bloody sale.
Did you speak to Josie yesterday?
She's still coming for Christmas?
Her turn to fly.
- One year each now.
- That's right.
- Don't get too comfortable.
- You need a new wife.
What about Rita ta Percy?
She got married last year.
Oh, you missed your bloody chance.
Claudia ta Ganni. Never married.
Lots of money in the family.
- She's bloody ugly, hairy.
- She smell like minestra.
You're no bloody oil
painting either, you know.
Ah, thank you.
Who do you think you are? Gregory Peck.
Humphrey Bogart.
Or the other one they like now,
with the bloody wrinkle.
- Who?
- Toony, Looney...
George Clooney.
Do you think that's Rosemary Clooney son?
- Huh?
- Her son, Rosemary Cooney?
- Cooney?
- Cooney, Clooney.
Cooney ta' Clooney?
I don't bloody know.
We don't get to choose our family.
Maybe that's a good thing.
But we're connected by blood
and those connections,
they're worth fighting for.
Life's not perfect.
It's not supposed to be,
but it's always better with family.
Sacred, special, crazy family.
Oh, Roxy.
I got a girl she looked just fine
Always bring me whisky and wine
Peppers in the morning
and dinner at night
Everything she do, she do just right
When I saw what you wanna do
She say just one thing
that I want from you
A little bit of rock,
a little bit of roll
A little bit of rock,
a little bit of roll
A little bit of rock,
a little bit of roll
Itty bitty little bit of rock and roll
We went to a dance
she was looking swell
Spinning around just like a carousel
Jitter bug buggy swinin' right
Having a ball on Saturday night
The male leader said,
what you want us to play
The kids all hollowed just take it away
A little bit of rock,
A little bit of roll
I said a little bit of rock
A little bit of roll
Well a little bit of rock
A little bit of roll
Itty bit little bit a rock and roll
Well I got it girl she looked just fine
Always bring me whiskey and wine
Breakfast in the morning

Everything she do, she do just right
But when I say, what you want me to do

A little bit of roll,
A itty little bit of rock and roll
Seven years it was.
Seven years we didn't talk,
and it might have gone on forever.
Why don't you do what you do
What you do what you do
Why don't you do what you
do what you do what you do
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, whoa
Why do you do
What you do
Where you do it makes me feel so good
So I ask you too, why
do you do what you do
Why do you hurt me
And break my heart
I thought we'd stay together
And never part
So I ask you too, why
do you do what you do
I've been around this whole wide world
But I've never seen
A beautiful girl just like you
You are my
- Joe. Joe.
- Oh.
You were dreaming again. You okay?
Josie's on the phone.
Josie? What's wrong with you?
Do you know what bloody time it is here?
Joe!
How are you, all right?
What does that mean?
What's happening? Are you okay?
Joe?
Well, can't they operate or something?
Josie?
No treatment.
In this day and age?
She should bloody never have moved there.
All right. Should have stayed
here when we came from Malta.
- She loves LA.
- LA, LA. Bloody LA.
I bet you also the pollution. All right.
I saw it on a programme.
Smog everywhere.
Not like here.
Bloody paradise, Australia. Paradise.
It could be worse.
Why do you always have
to look on the bright side?
How can bloody anything be worse?
I mean at least you get to see her
before it's too late.
Huh?
There's no bloody constellation.
- Consolation.
- What?
- Of course, don't worry.
- I live in a safe place.
He is not my brother.
Never complained.
I don't even know she was sick.
Like a bloody rock!
We haven't seen her
since your brother's wedding.
- He's not my brother.
- Oh.
This thing with Charlie, it's ridiculous.
It's beyond ridiculous.
And if your sister
dying isn't a wake up call
for you to fix it,
then you are more stupid
and stubborn than I thought.
You know I would've
crash tackled you too if
you gave a speech like that.
I was only telling the truth.
You were telling a drunken
perception of the truth.
- Ugh. Love.
- What?
- Sit down.
- What?
I know you're not one for apologies,
but Josie's gonna need
her brothers back during this
and you're gonna need each other too.
It's time.
Hey, it's me. I'm still out with the girls.
My phone is about to die too
so you probably won't be able to reach me.
We'll talk tomorrow.
There's a few flights left tomorrow.
I only fly Qantas.
We haven't been on a
plane for 10 years, love.
- But when I do it's Qantas.
- Qantas it is.
All right. I call No-neck Georgie
first thing on the morning.
He always looks after me too.
He doesn't even charge commission.
When you call him No-neck Georgie.
That's his name.
He doesn't have a neck.
Okay, well you don't need to call him
'cause I can book it
now without commission.
How?
I'm online.
Well I'm off the bloody line, all right?
Where it's safe.
The internet is safe these days.
Your brainwashed.
Cash is king even more than Elvis.
All right, maybe not more than Elvis.
Just let me take care of the flights.
You need to be with Josie.
Are you sure you don't
want me to come with you?
Who's going to look
after everything here?
Poor Josie. I can't
believe this is happening.
It's a bloody tragedy.
Does Charlie fly Qantas too?
Hi. Oh my God.
You're already here mwah,
mwah, mwah and mwah mwah.
Oh my god.
I feel like we're family already.
Josie talks about her
brothers all the time.
He's not my brother.
Oh?
Oh! Good one.
Yeah. Funny.
Who the bloody hell are you?
I'm Marlene. Oh, I didn't
even introduce myself.
I'm Josie's neighbour.
I'm just here taking care of
Little Roxy while mommy's away.
Yes.
God, I'm glad you guys
made it here so quickly.
That flight was a long one.
Oh you bloody don't even
know it. I didn't sleep a wink.
- Oh.
- All right.
The bloody man snoring.
The kids kicking.
I hate flying.
Hmm. You must be Joe.
I thought so.
Well listen, at least the cab
drive wasn't so bad, right?
I mean traffic can be terrible around here.
God poor Josie, you know.
We have been neighbours
for such a long time.
So sad.
It's very sad.
Where is she?
Well, uh, they transferred her
to a private hospital just yesterday.
Nobody bloody told us that.
Well, I'm sure she just
didn't want you to worry.
Don't worry. She's only in San Jose.
- St. Joseph.
- No, no San Jose.
- That means St. Joseph.
- No it does not.
How far is San Jose?
San Jose is six hours north from here.
Josie left her car right in the back.
She said you could take it.
All right, well now that that's done,
you're gonna take this.
What are you doing?
Roxy's biscuits are by her water
and there's a piece of paper
on the piano with the address
and the telephone number to the hospital.
Where are you going?
- I'm late for work.
- You can't leave her with us.
Oh of course I can.
Besides you're family.
Can get through anything
together when your family.
I feel like you're my family, mwah.
Boop, boop. Okay, I'll see you guys later.
Oh, Josie wants you both to give her a call
as soon as you arrive.
So figure that out.
Who's bloody gonna pay for petrol?
It is time.
Her favourite.
Marlene said we need to call Josie.
Who the bloody the hell is Marlene?
The neighbour.
Oh well, then say the neighbour.
- We gonna call or not?
- We'll call her.
From the landline?
The mobile?
- We call her on the way.
- From where?
A bloody phone. What do you think?
You'd be lucky to find one these days.
Everyone's got a bloody mobile.
Then we see her when we get there.
Bloody six hours drive.
I've never driven that far in my life.
Because Malta's only
an hour to get around it.
Not if you bloody walk.
Come here, Roxy. Good dog.
What the bloody the hell are you doing?
We can't leave her here.
Why not?
She needs to run around.
She can bloody run around here.
And what about food and water?
I saw it before. Here, huh?
Roxy. She'll bloody work it out.
That's not right.
It's a bloody dog.
This is Josie's dog.
I didn't fly all the way
around the bloody world
to look after the dog.
- All right.
- Halfway.
It felt like all way.
She can sit in the back.
Well do what you want.
I am not picking up the shit.
Josie.
'63 Valiant. 225 Slant Six.
Bloody good motor go forever.
It's no Mustang. But it's nice.
- It's very nice.
- I like the color too.
Classic.
All right give me the keys so we go.
- Who says you're driving?
- I'm the bloody eldest.
So what?
- So I bloody the drive.
- You haven't even slept.
I'm still the eldest.
Where are you going?
Bloody flooded it.
What are you doing mate?
The keys.
I don't have to but I'll
give you a chance to win.
Heads or tails.
Tails.
Watch the bloody duco.
Heads.
- That's interference.
- With what?
It hit the car.
Heads again.
I'm still the eldest. I'm the eldest.
- What?
- Put it in the back.
All right, which way?
North she said.
I know she said north.
Which way is north?
See if she has a bloody map.
Bingo.
Ah, beautiful.
Everyone use the GPS these days.
Oh, GPS. Are we in the army?
We never had a bloody GPS.
We did all right.
A few bloody wrong turns here and there.
But that's how you learn.
My physio says it's not
good to keep it in your pocket.
Oh, physio.
Do you know they're not
even bloody real doctors.
- What do you mean?
- It's all a bloody racket.
I saw it on a programme.
I could be a physio.
- Don't know about that?
- Joe, the physio.
It even has a good bloody sound.
That would suck them in.
When your back says no
Call Joe
The physio
- What? You don't use them?
- Not anymore.
Come back for this.
Come back for that.
Make your next appointment.
I want to see you in a week.
And I never bloody finish.
It's true.
Not because of the physio,
because I decided.
Where did you get that?
- It's Josie's.
- It was mother's first.
She gave it to her.
- So it's Josie's.
- Why have you got it?
She thought she lost it at my wedding.
Josie told me not to forget it.
It's a family heirloom.
Sentimental.
Why didn't she ask me?
I'm the eldest.
Because I had it.
And you're not very approachable I guess.
Not approachable.
I'm the bloody eldest.
She wants to sit in the front.
I don't bloody give a
rat's ass what she wants.
She's a bloody dog.
She sits in the back, all right.
I'm not moving.
You're unbelievable.
Happy?
There's nothing to be happy about.
Oh, Roxy.
Josie must have let her sit in the front.
Well, I'm not Josephine.
I didn't say you were Josephine.
I'm saying that's why she's so happy here.
Look at her.
She won't be happy when
we have a bloody accident.
She's not gonna have an accident.
The bloody dog's not driving.
I'm not doing this the whole way.
You want me to sit in the back?
He's on the bloody wrong side.
You're on the wrong side.
We're in America.
The voice of an angel.
It's true.
All right.
- All right.
- Follow it.
- Roxy hold on.
- All right.
I can't-
Is it straight here or right?
You can't tell here, hold on.
You gotta to tell me it right.
Roxy, hold on. Roxy watch it.
- Right?
- You go straight.
- Straight or right?
- No straight.
You said it was bloody right before.
The right on the 101.
Right there.
- I told you not to.
- Go right, over here.
All right. Drive all you bloody want now.
Where the bloody hell he going, Roxy?
Just give it a moment.
Criminal. My bloody first
car didn't cost that much.
Look out.
Do I want to go to this party tonight?
No, because that girl smells like-
You're bloody crazy.
Excuse me.
Whoa. Killer wheels man.
- Thank you.
- What year is this?
- 63.
- Nice.
- Can I ask you a favour?
- Yeah.
- Can I use the phone?
- Oh.
I just have to call my sister.
- Oh yeah.
- Won't belong. One minute.
Okay, don't be long
'cause I don't have much credit on here.
I won't be long.
- I don't, don't have much.
- There's not much credit.
No, I won't be long.
Have a look at the car or something.
Look at the car?
Guess it is pretty nice.
Cool lights.
- Hello Riverview.
- Josephine Cauchi please.
- Surname again.
- Cauchi.
C for Charlie. A for alpha, U
for umbrella, C for Charlie...
One moment please.
Hello - Josie. All right?
Joe? You made it. Oh my God.
Are you in pain?
Is everything all right?
I'm fine.
Is Charlie with you?
You didn't bloody tell
me you're six hours away.
They brought me here. Where's Charlie?
- He's here.
- Was Marlene home?
Did she give you the keys?
Did you take my car?
What about Roxy?
One at a bloody time.
- Josie?
- Charlie.
Bloody let me talk with her.
- What you think I'm doing?
- I want talk with her.
Gimme the phone.
- Hey!
- What?
Put the phone between you.
- I hold it, I'm the eldest.
- Then hold it.
What do you think I'm bloody doing?
- Put it here.
- All right.
- Josie, you all right?
- Ah, my bloody ears.
- Hey, Charlie.
- Are you in pain?
No, I'm fine.
I love Roxy. She's beautiful.
She's bloody ugly.
Cute but ugly.
Oh Roxy, I miss her too.
Did you bring the broach Charlie?
I've got it, Josie.
Thanks.
Jos. Do me a favour here.
Bloody, can you ask 'em to bring you here?
Here's going to be much
easier for everybody.
They won't do it.
Well, I'm not driving across California
on the wrong side of the bloody road
with a smelly dog and a bloody dill.
You finished?
What can we do Jos?
They want to keep me here,
but I'm not dying in the hospital.
How can we help?
You are going to break me out of here.
I planned an escape.
Meet me outside the hospital
by the big tree at 6:00 PM sharp.
And don't be late because I only will have-
Jail break.
Sorry mate.
It's okay. Good luck with your sister.
Ah, here we go.
I love this spirit, uh.
Even in the face of death,
she goes her own way.
Like Frank Sinatra.
She has the right to do
whatever she bloody wants.
I wouldn't want to
die in a hospital either.
Do you think that will
make us an accomplice?
If we're lucky.
It's very exciting.
It's just like a bloody movie.
Like the Great Escape.
What's the other one? I like it.
Um, Stalag 17.
Papillon.
Cool Hand Luke.
East of Eden.
That's not a bloody escape movie.
No but it's a very good movie.
Very good movie.
Casablanca.
Citizen Kane.
Abbott and Costello in Hollywood.
Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy.
Abbott and Costello
in the Foreign Legion.
Abbot and Costello
Meet the Invisible Man.
I don't know why she called her Roxy.
It's not a very masculine name.
That's because she's a girl.
Looks like a boy.
Ah, she looks like old
man, but she's little girl.
She's a very good dog.
- Ah, yes.
- No barking.
No just farting.
Ah, she's a dog.
What you gonna do?
And the poo.
You have to bloody pick it up these days.
Of course.
I don't like the concept.
What concept?
Picking it up.
Dogs got to go?
I know that it has to go.
I don't mind that it goes.
I mind that we have to pick it up.
What about when it goes in your backyard?
No, then you pick it up.
It's the same outside.
Bloody what's happened in the old days?
No one used to bloody pick it up.
I don't know about that.
Look, I love dogs. All right.
We always had dogs in back home, remember?
But on the farm we never
bloody the picked up the poo.
They used to go away.
Do their bloody business.
Come back smiling.
Happy, more civilized just like us.
Civilized? We used
to step in all the time.
Don't ruin the memories.
Don't you walk away
Don't you walk away now
And then you take her to the vet.
I don't go to the vet.
What do you mean you don't go to the vet?
I don't go to the
vet. I don't believe in it.
When the dog gets
sick, you take it to the vet.
No, you don't.
Well what do you do?
I start with something and
they won't bloody stop, ta'.
You take him in for one thing to fix
and they come out with
something else bloody broken.
All right. I don't like vets.
And they always make you feel bad too,
if you don't do it.
Do you know any bloody vets?
No, I know mechanics.
Well it's like a car.
If the car broken, take it to the mechanic.
Let me tell you something
about bloody canines, mate.
All right, I'll give you a tip.
Joe's tip, all right.
Tip number one, when
the dog is six weeks old,
take it to the vet.
You just said you
don't take it to the vet.
Let me bloody finish! All right?
You take the dog to the vet.
Six weeks old for the vaccine.
All right. After that,
never step in there again.
You're a bloody mad mate.
Ever.
Tip number two with dogs,
you either get a good
one or you get a lemon.
All right.
If you get the lemon,
ah, you'll get the lemon.
What can you do? It's a bloody dud.
Nothing the vet can do to fix a dud.
All right. And you'll
save $10,000, all right.
But I still love it the same.
You're still a good boy or a good girl.
You're a very good girl, Roxy.
Looks like a good boy.
Either way. Don't take it to the vet.
Ah, my love I give you my devotion
I heard she's having a
baby mate. 15-years-old.
Oh, they're all having
them young these days.
What, 15?
- Nunna was 14.
- That's different.
What's different?
A baby 14, then 15, 16, 17 have a break 18.
Ah, then she have twins.
She was married wasn't she?
Oh, I don't believe
what you believe. All right.
I don't go to church anymore.
I'm not going to do this again.
He's watching now.
Don't say it in the car.
- What are you looking at?
- Nothing.
I tell you what, it's
very bloody scenery.
Not like Hollywood.
- Oh bloody Hollywood.
- There's no more Hollywood.
They don't make them like they used to.
No. Superheroes now.
That's what the people want.
The people are bloody stupid.
That's where the money is.
Well I'm not gonna spend my money
to bloody see a poser in a cartoon.
I don't think they need your money mate.
You want to see a real
superhero. Go watch John Wayne.
Or Charlie Bronson.

We're having a bloody good run.
How long to go?
Ah, it's just like 250
miles. So what's that?
Like 400 kilometers.
It's not even midday.
What time do we have to meet Josie?
Six o'clock sharp she said.
No problem mate.
I don't like leaving her in the car.
You can't bring a
bloody dog in a restaurant.
- It's a diner.
- It's still food.
Bloody, look at all these pies.
There's chocolate cream
pie, cherry pie, pecan pie,
and the coffee is free refill.
Free. I'll believe it
when I bloody see it.
Well it says it right here.
Nothing in this world is free.
Good morning gentlemen. My name's Torrey.
I'll be your waitress today.
What can I get for you?
Hello lovey.
I'm gonna have the House of Pie
Ultimate breakfast combo please.
Can I ask you a question?
- The coffee is free refill?
- That's right.
And will you be having
the pancakes or waffles?
No. The House of Pie breakfast.
The three eggs, two bacon, sausage,
ham, hash, brown and toast.
Yes sir. But it also
comes with your choice
of three buttermilk pancakes
or a golden Belgian waffle.
It comes with three
pancakes or one waffle.
- It's your choice.
- Same price?
I take the three pancakes.
I've never heard your accent before.
Where are you guys from?
- We're Maltese.
- Oh, the Maldives.
I've always wanted to go there.
Maltese. From Malta.
Don't they bloody teach
you anything in school?
Oh, that's a lot of
passion you have there.
They used to call me the Maltese lover.
- No, they didn't.
- But they could have.
But they didn't.
But they could have and I didn't know it.
And what can I get for you?
Just a coffee for me.
- Joe you have to eat something.
- At least have piece of pie.
I only eat what I grow.
- He's on a diet now.
- I'm not on a bloody diet.
You're paleo.

No paleo. It's a diet.
I'm not on a bloody diet.
I'll get you that coffee.
Thank you very much. It's very nice.
- What are you doing?

- I wasn't rude.
You were yelling at her.
She said I was on a diet.
So bloody what?
I'm not on a bloody diet
You are on something mate.
What you mean?
- What you writing?
- Doesn't matter.
Where did you go?
The cook. He was
throwing out all the bread.
I showed them how to make pudina.
Never waste the tea.
- That's right.
- What's pudiner?
Pudina.
It's bread pudding.
Back home we cook it
what we bloody the had.
It's best with tea or coffee.
What's in it?
It's just some leftover
bread and some bloody raisins.
I like to put a bit of cocoa,
brown sugar, cinnamon
and some orange, the rind.
All right. Little bit of
chocolate too if you have it.
But you don't need it.
It sounds yummy.
It's very bloody nice. All right.
And you tell him to
give you some. All right.
Yeah. Well.
Thank you.
She's bloody good waitress.
- Very good.
- Yes.
I think I'll go check on her.
Eat your food before it gets cold.
Oh. Taste the pancakes.
- I'm not tasting them.
- Well smell them.
I'm not tasting them
and I'm not smelling them.
Do what you want.
I want to get back on the road.
Back on the... We just got here.
Sit down. Relax.
Relax, relax. The word
of today bloody relax.
I don't relax. All right.
What happened to the
early worm gets the bird?
He didn't relax did he? That's
why he got the bloody bird.
More coffee gentlemen.

I'm waiting for you.

Yes sir.
- Maybe just one more.

Plus tax and tip.
I bloody told you it wasn't free.
Coffees to go.
Takeaway. Takeaway.
- Takeaway.
- Thank you.
Excuse me love.
Does the tip here go to
everybody or just you?
This is for you.
Don't share it. All
right. You are very good.
And I left the bloody cook a
recipe tip already. Priceless.
Okay, thanks guys.
Did you get out from my side?
Why would I get out from your side?
The bloody the door's not locked.
Well maybe you didn't lock it properly.
I'm not stupid.
I didn't say you were stupid,
bloody lucky Roxy didn't get out.
Come on Roxy. Good girl. Good girl.
What's that?
Pretzel.
Where'd you get them?
I got them from the aeroplane.
You said you only ate what you grow.
Unless it's free.
Even on the girls now.
- What?
- Tattoos.
Boys, girls. What's the difference?
Oh come on.
Only the bloody bikies get tattoos.
That's not true anymore.
Willy bloody nilly now.
- I might get one.
- What?
I might get a tattoo.
Why would you bloody do that to yourself?
Self-expression.
Write a bloody poem. Self-expression.
I think some of them look very nice.
Wait until your blood are
fat, old and ugly. All right.
I'm going to live fast and die young.
Kinda like James Dean.
Jim Morrison
Ritchie Valens. Remember him?
He had the one.
Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna
I had the girl
Donna was the name
Since she left me
I never be the same
Because I love my girl
Donna where can you be
Good girl Roxy. That's bloody music.
- Oh Roxy, not again.
- Another one.
Very good Roxy.
Where you going?
She needs to piddle.
Come on Roxy. Come on.
Good girl Roxy.
Good girl Roxy.
Where's the...
Have you got the brooch?
I've got it.
All right. We call the police.
What the hell are they gonna do?
We need to meet Josie at six.
If you bloody had of stayed in the car,
this never would've happened.
You shouldn't have left
the keys in the ignition.
I thought you took them.
Why would I take them?
Because you got out
of the bloody car last.
- Where did you go anyway?
- I had the piddle.
So did Roxy.
Oh something's bloody never change.
What's that's supposed to mean?
Nothing.
Well just tell me.
Tell me.
We could never rely on you.
- Who's we?
- Me and pop.
What's pop got to do with it?
Don't Bloody push it with me.
Well don't talk in bloody riddles.
Say what you wanna say.
The ladder. All right. The ladder.
The ladder. I was five.
He wasn't supposed to die.
All right. Not like that. You
were bloody day dreaming.
He shouldn't have put his safety
in the hands of a five-year-old.
Anyway you were there.
Why didn't you hold it?
Because he asked you!
You couldn't help?
Oh, tell yourself whatever you have to.
It's easy for you.
He took you everywhere with him. All right.
Never took me anywhere. Neither do you.
We always went together.
As a family with mommy and Josie.
- I helped him. All right.
- He bloody relied on me.
He would.
The strong one, the favourite, the eldest.
What do you want Charlie?
- You're just like him.
- Good.
Blame everyone but yourself.
If I was to blame I would.
- Have you ever been to blame?
- No.
Where were you when
I needed my big brother?
I beat up all those bloody kids
that picked on you in school.
I never asked.
That's the bloody thanks I get.
You picked on them
'cause you're a bully yourself.
All right. You liked it. You
enjoyed it. Made you feel good.
Don't let anyone push you around.
You pushed them around first.
You don't know what you're talking about.
I needed a big brother, not body guard.
- Well you got me.
- Yeah. Not by choice.
- Where's Roxy?
- I don't bloody know.
Roxy, Roxy. Roxy.
She could be anywhere by now.
Day dreamer.
Again?
You were looking after her. Not me.
She was standing
right in front of both of us.
You shouldn't have
gone out of the bloody car.
If you blame me again for losing
the car, you're gonna regret it. All right.
Is that right?
You are going to make me regret it.
Where are you going?
Roxy.
All right. Go. Go.
Roxy.
Roxy. Roxy.
Roxy. Come on Roxy.
Roxy.
Rox.
Come on Roxy.
Roxy.
Roxy.
Come on Roxy.
Roxy, Roxy.
Roxy.
Gimme the damn brooch.
Please it's my sisters.
She's only got three weeks to-
Hey!
And who are you?
Give it back to my brother.
Everything!
- Oh God. Okay. Okay.
- Apologise to him!
- I'm sorry.
- All right.
Get out of here!
Before I bloody lose my temper.
Who the hell are those guys?
That's the Maltese power.
Say it.
- Say what?
- You didn't ask for my help.
- I wasn't gonna say that.
- What were you going to say?
That you called me your brother?
I am gonna miss her.
Me too Charlta'.
She's still so young.
I should have been holding the ladder.
What?
With pop.
I should have been holding the ladder.
I blamed you, all the years I blamed you.
We were kids. Just kids.
But I was the big brother.
It's not our fault.
It's not our fault.
I'm sorry Charlie.
I'm very sorry.
And the wedding.
- Here we go.
- I was drunk. All right.
There's no excuse.
But Charlie, I don't think
she was good for you. All right.
Someone who will be there
to the blood of hard times.
And I don't know what you have together.
- No.
- Only the couple can know.
All right. But let me
say something, all right.
If a woman doesn't make you a better man,
if she pisses on your blood
fire, instead of putting timber
to make the big fire, then
you need to piss her off.
Where we gonna go? We have to find Roxy.
We pray to Saint Anthony.
What?
Dear Saint Anthony,
please, please come around.
Something we lost it and cannot be found.
- Roxy.
- Roxy.
You believe now Thomas?
How long to go?
150 miles.
That's two and a half hours.
We're not gonna make it.
We'll bloody make it. Don't worry mate.
I'm gonna show you the bloody driving
that made me famous in 67'.
Scalextrics?
It was a bloody race wasn't it?
With slot cars.
Oh, just bloody hold on.
One, two hypnotize you
On the count of three
She'll steal your soul, take
control and leave you cold
Never knowing how she did it
Once she memorize you,
have you on your knees
On the floor, begging for more
A look is all she needs
Her lips are cherry red
I give em' a look to knock em' dead
Legs so long and fine
She'll kick your ass and blow your mind
She got ooh yeah
She got oh-oh, oh-oh
Ooh yeah
Oh-Oh
Is this it?
- This is the address.
- I can't see here.
- We're bloody too late.
- Only a few minutes.
I told you it was left back there.
It felt like a right.
It's on the map.
Where's the tree?
What tree?
She's supposed to be
standing by a big tree.
There's bloody trees
everywhere! Big tree.
Check the address again.
- You think I'm stupid?
- Did I call you stupid?
I can hear it through your teeth.
What am I a bloody trans-viloquist?
A what?
- With the The puppet.
- Ventriloquist.
Oh, that's what I bloody said.
Josie there she is. Josie here!
Jos! Jos!
- Josie!
- I'm here Charlie!
Get it, get in!
I've always wanted to do this.
Joe step on it.
All right?
Oh Josie.
Just like a movie.
That's what we said.
I finally got my part.
The lead role.
If only someone was filming.
We both were.
Brothers! I miss you two.
All right. All right Josie.
You two look great.
And you look too good
for someone who's dying.
- Joe!
- What?
I take that as a compliment, Joe.
This is amazing.
It's beautiful. I thought
we'd miss you ta'.
We're running a little bit behind.
Only a few minutes.
I knew eventually you either get here
or you kill each other.
You said you planned
the escape for six sharp.
I could have left anytime.
What?
- What about the matron?
- Which matron?
That was Marlene.
Who the bloody the hell is Marlene.
- The neighbour.
- Oh then say the neighbour.
- You set us up.
- Set up what?
Everything.
You know
what we've been through today?
No, but I would love to hear about it.
You don't play jokes like that.
Well, nothing else was working.
Well I tried everything and I hate flying.
You are crazy.
Ooh, that one in the jeans.
- You have the brooch?
- Here you go.
Perfect.
I'm the eldest. I should
have brought it. All right.
I didn't know you two weren't talking
for the past seven years.
- It's a family heirloom.
- Family heirloom!
I want to sell to buy another classic.
And I already have a buyer.
The music empowers the people
Gotta spread the word around
Don't look back over your shoulder
I'm movin' to the sound
Push forward over the rainbow
Dancin' too the town
My sisters and my brothers
We got one chance so don't play around
The music empowers the people
You hurt your back Joe.
I call the physio.
No physio.
Charlie finally woke up
and the letter he was
writing in his notebook,
a love letter I found out.
Well, that become a breakup letter.
So Josie gave him a little
something to help him through it.
- Good girl. Roxy.
- Roxy.
Good girl Roxy. Good dog.
Rox good girl. All right Rox. All right.
Too late now.
I was going to do it.
When?
Half the bloody day is gone.
It's bloody at 7:00 AM.
Roxy.
Good girl Roxy.
- Bloody Joan Collins.
- What?
New chairs now?
I got them on sale.
Nothing's a sale if you don't need it.
$10,
for both.
That is a bloody sale.
Did you speak to Josie yesterday?
She's still coming for Christmas?
Her turn to fly.
- One year each now.
- That's right.
- Don't get too comfortable.
- You need a new wife.
What about Rita ta Percy?
She got married last year.
Oh, you missed your bloody chance.
Claudia ta Ganni. Never married.
Lots of money in the family.
- She's bloody ugly, hairy.
- She smell like minestra.
You're no bloody oil
painting either, you know.
Ah, thank you.
Who do you think you are? Gregory Peck.
Humphrey Bogart.
Or the other one they like now,
with the bloody wrinkle.
- Who?
- Toony, Looney...
George Clooney.
Do you think that's Rosemary Clooney son?
- Huh?
- Her son, Rosemary Cooney?
- Cooney?
- Cooney, Clooney.
Cooney ta' Clooney?
I don't bloody know.
We don't get to choose our family.
Maybe that's a good thing.
But we're connected by blood
and those connections,
they're worth fighting for.
Life's not perfect.
It's not supposed to be,
but it's always better with family.
Sacred, special, crazy family.
Oh, Roxy.
