In Whangara
Rawiri: I decided it was about time I went out to see the world.
Nani Flowers: What's wrong with Whangara? You got the world right here. Nothing you can get anywhere else that you can't get here. You must be in trouble.
Rawiri: No, I am clean.
Nani Flowers: Then there must be a girl you're running away from.
Rawiri denied laughing.
Rawiri: Let's just say that there's not enough room in this town for the two of us.
Everyone is sad at the fantastic party given to Rawiri by his friends.
At the Airport
Rawiri: Don't forget to look after my bike.
Nani Flowers: Don't worry, I will feed it some hay and give it water every day.
Rawiri: Give Kahu a kiss from me.
Nani Flowers: God be with you. And don't forget to come back, Rawiri, or else… BANG.
Sydney
Rawiri met many new people there and made a lot of friends.
Jeff tells Rawiri about his family in Mount Hagen and Rawiri tells him.
Rawiri: You would love Kahu. She's a fantastic looker. Big brown eyes, wonderful figures and lips that just wait to be kissed.
Jeff: Yeah? Yeah?
Rawiri: And I can tell she'd go for you.
Poor Jeff, he didn't realize Rawiri was pulling his leg.
They always pulled each other's legs.
Next Morning
Jeff: Phone, Rawiri. And I'll talk to you later.
It was good news that his brother Porourangi was getting married.
Porourangi: Don't bother to come home though because the wedding is just going to be very small. Kahu would be the flower girl.
Rawiri: How is she?
Porourangi: She's five and started school now… Oh, by the way, your flatmate was very interested in Kahu so I told him she was doing well with her spelling.
That was the bad news.
Jeff: Warm and cuddly, huh?
Rawiri: No, wait Jeff, I can explain--
Jeff: Big brown eyes and fantastic figure, huh?
Rawiri: Jeff, no--
The phone rang.
Jeff's mother: Your father needs you to help him run the coffee plantation.
Jeff: I have to go.
Rawiri: Family is family.
Jeff: You wouldn't like to come with me?
Rawiri: Sure, I have been a cowboy all my life. Let's saddle up partner.
In Papua New Guinea
Letter to Rawiri
Porourangi: Koro is looking for a young boy to pull the swords out of the stone. And yeah, Kahu has returned back home.
Jeff: You are getting homesick, aren't you, Rawiri?
Rawiri: A little.
Jeff: We have come a long way together.
Rawiri: We sure have.
Jeff: I want to thank you. For everything. But if you have to go. I'll understand.
Another letter received to Rawiri from Porourangi and Kahu.
In Whangara
Kahu: Uncle Rawiri! You're back!
They hug together.
Kahu takes Rawiri to the shed and shows him his shining motorbike.
Koro Apirana: Another girl.
Nani Flowers: Girls can do anything these days. You're not allowed to discriminate against women anymore.
Koro: You still haven't got the power.
Nani Flowers: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you old goat.
Kahu comes running to Paka/Koro.
Kahu: Oh Paka!
Paka: Go back, go back. You are of no use to me.
Kahu skips back to her uncle as if nothing happened.
In School
Kahu: That's seat is for Koro. Don't let anyone sit there. There's a surprise for my Koro.
Kahu: My speech is a speech of for my great-grandfather, Koro Apirana...
But there's no sign of Koro in the hall.
After the speech.
Rawiri: I feel so proud of her.
Even though there was a smile on her face but her heart was aching for Koro Apirana.
In the car
Porourangi: You Koro couldn't make it tonight, darling.
Kahu: That's alright, daddy. I don't mind.
Nani Flowers: I tell you, Kahu, tomorrow I am really getting a divorce from him.
Kahu: It's not Paka's fault, Nani, that I am a girl.
In the sea
Koro took some young boys into the sea. He then threw a carved stone into the ocean.
Koro: One of you must bring that back.
No one was able to go because the water was too deep.
Kahu: Does Koro really want the stone back? One of the boys told me.
Nani Flowers: Yeah, I suppose he must.
Kahu: I will get it for him.
She dives into the deep water and Rawiri and Nani Flowers are both shocked.
A few minutes later, they see Kahu in water coming up with a dolphin. She kisses the dolphin and then comes back up.
Nani Flowers: Oh, Kahu.
Kahu: I am all right. I brought the stone for Paka. And this crayfish for his tea.
Nani Flowers: Not a word, Rawiri. Not a word about the stone or our Kahu.
In Wainui
A jogger saw 200 whales moving in a great herd to the beach.
Many were dying and many men are working on the whales. The only thing that was really seen was blood of the whales all around.
Rawiri calls to Koro Apirana who has gone down in the south Islands with Porourangi.
Koro: You'll have to go there.
Rawiri: You better keep our Kahu at home today, Nani.
Rawiri: Come on boys, we've got work to do.
Rawiri takes his motorbike with his friends towards Wainui.
Billy: There they are.
An old European lady sat on the whale stopping the truck to take the whale away.
They had many fistfights with the bad guys.
Billy: Hey, lady, we're the good guys.
Lady: If you're the good guys, you'd better go after the bad guys.
Many locals joined on the beach to help. Even the police came.
Police: Try to keep them cool, pour water on them otherwise they'll dehydrate. Keep pouring water.
All the whales were pulled onto the beach by the helicopters. Slowly, by the evening all 200 whales died; some in water and the other on the beach.
Morals: People are not satisfied with what they have. They want more. Like in this Rawiri wanted to go and travel the world and leave all his family behind. They want to get more than they have and they want to do more but sometimes they just end up where they started from. No matter how manny friends Rawiri had in Australia but he still was homesick. And he returned back to where he was before, in Whangara with his family. But he could't believe that 7 years had already passed by and how everything has changed. There was a lot that he has missed.
Rawiri: I decided it was about time I went out to see the world.
Nani Flowers: What's wrong with Whangara? You got the world right here. Nothing you can get anywhere else that you can't get here. You must be in trouble.
