Scenes with Swain 24

Hey, guys, guys what Spider’s just done.

Chefo, as you can see, we’re playing a game here, and every time you interrupt, I lose concentration and Swaino wins.

I’m sorry, Buff. You’re gonna want to hear this. You remember the blood you found on the catamaran?

Swain

Spider found it, yeah.

Yeah. Well, it was evidence, and Spider, the tool, just cleaned it up.

Swain

He what?

Yeah. X is fuming. Apparently it was the only thing to prove Jackson’s lying.

Good one, Spider.

Swain

Mate, glad he’s in your division. It’s gonna be messy.

I’d better go. Don’t want to miss the fun.

Swain

I win, by the way.

I’m gonna kill Chefo.

[After a severe reaction to Irukandji, Cheofo wakes up.]

Swain

Toby? Toby, what’s wrong, mate? [Chefo opens his eyes.] Tobes?

[Sniffs.] Who’s in my galley?

[Snatching the ultrasound.] Gimme. [Rotates it a few times.] Where’s the nipper?

Swain

[Pointing.] There. Head, arm, leg, ten cute little toes.

Looks like a frog.

Swain

It’s not a frog! It’s my gorgeous baby!

Which explains why it looks like a frog.

Swain

[Holding an ultrasound picture.] Hey, what do you reckon?

Definitely looks like a peanut, Swaino.

Misty found my conversation inspiring.

Swain

Misty? [He grabs the piece of paper Buffer is holding.] Misty was that blonde you were talking to at the bar last night?

Name like ‘Misty’, she’s either a stripper or a whale-watcher.

Swain

Or both.

Possibly both.

Hey, hey, I finally get a woman interested and I’m gonna die inhaling some deadly toxin.

Toxin, perfume – same result.

Yeah, I’d like to see how these guys handle this toxin when I feed it to them.

Swain

Oh, gentlemen, company.

[They all stand up when Martina Royce enters.]

Uh, hi. I agree with you completely. [Sticking out her hand.] Martina.

Buffer. Peter.

[Clears his throat.] You’ll have to excuse us, Martina. Peter’s watch is about to start, and I need to give my boys some information.

Understood. We’re relying on you boys to find this ship.

Swain

Oh, ma’am, if anyone can sniff it out, it’s the CO.

[Picking up Buffer’s email.] Oh, uh, I look forward to hearing some of your inspiring conversation.

Ma’am.

Swain

Must be your pheromones, mate.

What?

Swain

Exactly.

ET's being posted with us?

Good to have the old gang back together, wouldn't you say?

[ET is driven over from HMAS Melbourne in a RHIB.]

Wooh-hoo-hoo! It's the creature from the deep.

I heard you fellas couldn't deal without me.

Yeah right.

Swain

It's good to see you again mate.

It's good to be here.

It's a great to hear your voice, sir. Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Buffer, it's a time for a Graunch boarding.

[To Swain.] Tell me he didn't say "Graunch"!

Swain

I think he did, ma'am.

[Kate lets out a frustrated sigh.]

Sir, you are a mad man. It's a pleasure to serve under you. Wish us luck. Over.

Swain

You don't have Bird Flu, Spider.

What, are you a pathologist? They were on the Hammersley for a very long time.

We're disinfected.

Charge, those germs can live for a very long time.

What, are you a pathologist?

It's a choice of fruit salad or fruit salad.

No way.

Swain

I would steer clear if I was you though mate, this stuff with soften your arteries.

[Sarcastic laugh.] Where is the cook?

She’s not here, it’s just fruit and salad.

Good. Need you all in the junior sailors’ mess.

Is there a problem?

No, we’re gonna sing ‘Happy Birthday’.

Swain

He’s getting weirder.

Swain

That's one hell of a bullet wound.

FFreeman

He doesn't appear to have been in the water long.

Swain

You think he was thrown out of that prawn trawler?

FFreeman

Oh well, unless he fell from space.

Swain

Now, we’ll flush that out with a bit of diluted hydrogen peroxide.

Is there some reason you’re making Bomber do all this?

Swain

It’s good training.

Or are you just scared to touch my leg, Swaino?

Swain

It’s a very nice leg, Spider, but I don’t wanna touch it. Besides, it’s much more fun watching you go through it. And finally, the antiseptic ointment.

That stuff really stings.

Swain

Oh yeah. (Passes it to Bomber.)

With pleasure.

Does anybody... oh, sorry. Can anyone tell me where the gents is?

Swain

Bathroom.

How many of those have you had?

Two? Three? I just, um... they’re very nice.

Swain

Ah, no, mate, I haven’t spotted the head yet. Might want to try downstairs, though.

Thank you.

Swain

Ah, Robert?

Mmm?

Swain

Stay away from golf buggies.

And the transsexuals.

[A scene later, he gets attacked and shoved down a flight of stairs.]
