WOW! Just for fun ( a laugh even) - But, imagine if....
What a great action movie script; 'The Coco Dile' all star cast, Hollywood goodies and baddies starring; expletive riddles the script and much 'tough guy' action. All ruled by a serious, enigmatic Mr Big who calls the shots and pulls the 'right' strings. All shot in the Top End, 'dramatic' stunt flying, dopes on ropes, cocaine and booze parties with semi naked Hotties. Wow - what a story.
Scene 1 - A fast motor launch running without lights slips inside the international boundary; run by a lethal looking crew of foreign extraction; at a set coordinate a smaller craft is waiting on the GPS mark; they meet up, several large, heavy packages are off loaded onto the smaller vessel; and, they go their separate way.
The camera then tracks the smaller boat to a murky creek, the trees and vines dense and thick; then, after a while, the GPS 'pings' its arrival alarm and they stop; land and secure their boat. Next come the shovels and a shallow trench is excavated; the 'packages' are off loaded into the trench which is then artfully camouflaged to resemble a Salt Water Crocodile nest. They depart and; slow fade - the great silence of the outback descends.
Scene two - The silence is shattered about mid morning as a Chopper circles over head. After a while it lands in a clear patch and shuts down; two men emerge from the small cabin; check that there are no crocs about and dig through the nest top. Sacks emerge;containing many round objects which look strangely like croc eggs. These are 'marked' (as they should be) placed in the plastic collection boxes, a hand full of mud or two and; bingo - job done. They take their time, coffee and lunch - and after a suitable while; fire up the chopper and drift homeward.
Scene three - A hanger in the background and the boys all sat about the camp fire, drinking beer. A truck pulls up - "Got any eggs to collect Mate" shouts the driver. "Yeah Mate; in the shed." The egg boxes are loaded; the driver stays for a beer and then toddles off to who knows where.
Scene four. The 'Boys' are out again; its been a moonless night and at dawn; they fire up for another 'egg collection' sortie. All is well, their 'eggs' are where they should be; they load, relax for a couple of hours and then start up, take off and set a course to return to base camp. Bang!! Bang!! then silence; the engine just quit. Down they go into the bush. One is left alive; then the phone call is made which sparks a major panic. There is a flurry of action, must beat the paramedics; must move the 'eggs' - must clear the evidence of missed maintenance checks.
Scene five. A steely eyed (glamorous) version of Sus Spence brilliantly spots some anomalies in the maintenance paper work back at HQ; she whistles up her favourite bag carrier and says "check this out". From then it is fast forward and brilliant investigators who stumble across the paperwork errors which undo our villains. The ending shows our villains doing six months community service for dodgy paper work; whistling, chatting, smiling, cracking jokes and smoking while they sweep up the leaves in the park. Their egg money tucked away for a while; all safe and sound.
Slow fade to a tropical sunset. End of.
The moral of the tale should be - paper work is the most dangerous of enemies; so, always remember to dot those 'i's' and carefully cross those 't's. They'll get ya every time.
Aye; All for a laugh. Just could not ignore this flight of pure fancy; probably read too many novels. Cannot imagine the ABC making such a fictitious movie - can you??
Time for an Ale methinks; Toot - toot.
