The Castle Tail Credits

(Full credits are below the end narrative)

The closing narration:

As with the start of the ﬁlm, Dale Kerrigan is given extensive wrap-up duties by way of voice over narration at the end of the ﬁlm. (This transcript is taken from the Roadshow DVD release of “the poolroom edition”).

The narration cranks up when Darryl and Dennis realise they’ve won in the High Court.

Dale (v/o, over the aftermath in court): “Dad was stoked, but suitably restrained. He reckoned the other side didn’t know what to do with themselves. Dennis was so stunned he went all quiet. Dad reckons he almost cried. In fact I think he did … (over Dennis trying to hold back a tear)…Mr Hammill just sat there for ages …he reckoned it was the most satisfying victory he’d had in forty seven years… Dad reckons it’s important to be noble in victory, so he spoke to the other Q.C.”

Darryl (shouting across the bench to the Q.C.): “Oh hey …” Dale: “… the one who had a go at Wayne …” Darryl: “Bad luck… ya dickhead!!”

National Nine News replaces the courtroom images.

Dale (v/o): “The case was all over the news that night.

Newsreader Ian Ross: “Good evening …first tonight, a landmark decision in the High Court today has confirmed the age-old saying, ‘A man’s home is his castle’ … when the huge Airlink consortium tried to compulsorily acquire a string of homes on Melbourne’s outskirts earlier this year, they didn’t expect a fight … well, they got one …”

Reporter (over images outside the court): “It was a case of Darryl v. Goliath in the High Court of Australia today when tow truck driver…”

Dale (breaking in over the TV news): “Mum reckoned it’s real funny how one day you’re not famous, and then the next day you are... famous, and then you’re not anymore …

(over a party in the Kerrigan castle)

Dale (v/o): Dad had one of the biggest parties EVER that night back at home. He invited everyone from the neighbourhood …his friends, family, in-laws …”

Con (speaking to Dennis Denuto): “This case has totally regained my faith in the legal system …” Dale (v/o): “Mr Hammill even brought his son along…

(as an in-joke Hammill’s son is played by Tony Martin)

Darryl: “I’m really pleased to meet you Adam …”

Dale (v/o, over Mr. Petropoulous): “Everyone was having a real good time … especially Mum and Dad …(over Darryl and Sal) … I’ve never seen ‘em so happy …Dad invited everyone up to Bonnie Doon …”

Farouk (to Lawrence Hammill): “I ﬁx you with special Farouk pressure system …”

Dale (v/o): “Mr Hammill said he’d love to come …I don’t think he’d ever ﬁshed for carp …well that party went on and on and on …and Dad smiled all night …”

Darryl (shouting to Sal as she hands out nibbles): “See, this is why we need that patio …” Sal: “Yeah …”

Dale (v/o): “The victory was reported in all the papers …it became known as the ‘Kerrigan Decision’ …”

Darryl (to Jack, introducing Lawrence): “Oh Jack, don’t thank me … this is the bloke.”

Dale (v/o): “Although Dad said as far as he was concerned, it was Lawrie’s victory …”

Darryl: “Now don’t forget Dennis here, either …Dennis” (Dennis raises his glass)

Dale (v/o): “That was the beginning of a string of good luck for our family…”

(Wayne in his cell taking down his snap of the family from the wall)

Dale (v/o): Six months later, we got notice that Wayne would soon be eligible for parole. Dad rang Mr Hammill, who was more than happy to come out of retirement again … Wayne said the parole board couldn’t believe their eyes. When Mr Hammill walked in, he reckons they granted him parole out of shock…’

(Dennis getting out of a convertible in the street in front of his new ofﬁce)

Dale (v/o): Dennis became very well-known after the case …and people came from everywhere to hire him …He won a very big case, a class action, against people who put lead in the landﬁll 15 years ago …”

(Dennis walks into his ofﬁce past a sign reading ‘Dennis Denuto Solicitor & Barrister As Seen on TV’) Dale (v/o): “I think Mr Hammill helped him there too …and Dad is very happy for him. He even bought himself a new photocopier... (the photocopier in action) …one that never breaks down … and guess what? Mr Hammill did go up to Bonnie Doon …”

(Hammill in a photo in the poolroom holding up a modestly sized rainbow trout)

Dale (v/o): “…at ﬁrst Dad thought it was out of politeness …but it can’t be ‘cause he goes up there all the time …”

(the camera pans over to a framed photo of Darryl holding and pointing at a trout, and Hammill next to him also pointing at the ﬁsh)

Dale (v/o) “… And he and Dad still hit it off as good as they did the ﬁrst day they met … (over a greyhound) … Coco never won another race, but she had a son which Dad called Son of Coco …He hasn’t won yet, but Dad has high hopes … (over a shot of the new patio) … Dad did ﬁnish the patio, in a Greek style … and the extension, and he even put up those big iron gates …(shot of the Toorak gates at the front of the drive) …that he and Steve had gotten for a bargain that night in Toorak …”

(Steve’s girlfriend with baby)

Dale (v/o): “Steve got back with Kerry, his old girlfriend …eventually they got married and had a little boy, three weeks later …”

(Steve comes in reading from the paper)

Steve: “Baby capsule … Still in box …”

Dale (v/o) (over Con and Tracey helping their kid work over a heavy bag): “Con and Tracey had a kid too …he’s already taken up kickboxing …they are great parents.”

(The Carpenters’ “We’ve only just begun” mixes in under at this point)

Dale (v/o) “Wayne started helping Dad with the tow truck and really made a go of it. Dad’s even more proud of him now than when he was in jail! It was Wayne’s idea to move into tray trucks …pretty soon, they had two, then three, then EIGHT!” (over a pan of the assorted tray trucks) Who knows when it’ll stop? Mum reckons 11. She’s as proud as punch with all this … And guess what? She DID take up pottery!”

(shots of Sal’s inestimable pottery mugs, including a CU)

Darryl (v/o): “… She didn’t even need lessons!”

(Darryl with a glass and bottle of VB sitting in his Greek patio)

Dale (v/o): “And Dad, well, he reckoned he got everything he’d ever wished for …he often used to sit out on the patio and just smile to himself …(shot of electricity tower, followed by shot of Darryl’s castle) … and they still live at 3 Highview Crescent …even though it’s only them two livin’ in it …And Dad still calls it his castle …” (a plane roars overhead just above the camera)

Dale (now to camera): “My name’s Dale Kerrigan, and that was my story…”

(Over the framed snap of the family outside the castle which has threaded through the show, The Carpenters’ “We’ve only just begun” swells up to foreground, the image fades to black, and end titles roll)
