:19:02
Lessie would come along,
of course.
:19:04
The three of us together,
the old gang.
:19:08
We were a bunch
of old funsters.
:19:10
We all wanted to win,
of course...
:19:14
but with your mum
as your dad's partner...
:19:16
we had no chance.
:19:20
They were magnificent.
:19:22
Ooh, yeah
:19:24
Take a look at me,
I'm yesterday's hero
:19:28
Yesterday's hero
:19:30
That's all I'll be
:19:35
They had it
all before them...
:19:37
a perfect career.
:19:38
And then...
:19:41
everything changed.
:19:45
Your dad became,
I don't know...
:19:48
self-obsessed,
focused on himself...
:19:51
a selfish dancer.
:19:53
I didn't know
what to make of it.
:19:55
He started doing his own thing,
improvising...
:19:58
throwing in crazy, wild,
crowd-pleasing steps.
:20:04
A bit like yourself, Scott.
:20:06
Not always...
:20:08
strictly ballroom.
:20:11
Shirley put up with it
for as long...
:20:12
as she bloody well could.
:20:19
It was only a matter of time...
:20:20
before she eventually...
cracked.
:20:23
I tried to warn him,
but, no, he wouldn't listen.
:20:29
He wouldn't listen
to any of us.
:20:30
He'd lost touch with reality.
:20:32
He was convinced
he and your mum...
:20:33
could win
the Pan Pacific Grand Prix...
:20:34
dancing his own steps.
:20:37
Of course, they lost.
:20:39
Heh. I was lucky enough
to win that year.
:20:41
The shock sent Doug crazy.
:20:45
He vowed
he'd never dance again.
:20:47
For a while there...
:20:48
we didn't think
he'd pull through.
:20:50
Slowly, little by little,
day by day...
:20:54
he managed to crawl back
from the dark pit of despair...
:20:58
and tack together
some semblance of a life.
