Bad Behaviour (2023) s01e02 Episode Script

The Worst

So, you didn't see them, ever?
I see him when he mows our lawn.
I see my parents every weekend.
Of course you do.
'Cause you're a good person.
That's Gabby.
I said we'd meet up later.
Ruby's in the bathroom.
I had the shower.
You were the worst.
Masks on.
Shh!
Jo?
Dorm raid!
Get the fuck up! Get up!
Get up! Get up!
Look at me in the eyes,
Yellow House bitch!
That was awesome!
Shut the fuck up, Jo.
You want the whole school to hear?
Fuck.
Didn't get much sleep?
Does everyone know?
I have to be careful.
I can't get in any more trouble.
Good luck with that.
Turning into the worst girl
at Red House.
Very funny.
I'm not joking, Jo.
Joanna.
You've been identified as one
of the girls who raided Yellow House.
Your parents have already been called.
Why?
This is serious, Jo.
Come with me.
Oooh!
Students at Silver Creek
often feel challenged,
but we expect them to find
the resilience and self sufficiency
necessary to meet those challenges.
In this regard, Joanna
is not meeting expectations.
Jo's never been in trouble before.
Joanna, why don't you tell
your mother what you've been up to?
Um
The dorm raid, and, uh,
bell run, um
Out of bounds.
Talking after lights out.
Talking back.
In brief,
general troublemaker in Red House.
What you may have thought
was a harmless stunt
caused the girls in Yellow House
a great deal of distress.
Yes, sir.
And your failure to name
your accomplices is not acceptable.
Does Joanna's behaviour
jeopardise the arrangement?
No.
The scholarship is still in place,
for now.
I'll be doing a solo camp as punishment.
And while you're out there,
you'll write a letter to yourself
about how you want to
remember your year here.
And there will be no further trouble.
Understood?
I don't understand any of this, Joanna.
Why didn't you defend me?
Excuse me.
You went straight to the scholarship,
like I didn't deserve to be here.
That is the opposite of what I think.
You're the one who wanted all of this.
The application, the interviews.
We were quite happy for you to
stay at your old school.
So why, now, are you
throwing all of this away?
Jo, talk to me.
What's going on?
It won't happen again.
Come here.
I'm worried about you.
You're so far away.
I'll be good, I promise.
I don't want to be naughty anymore.
Milo?
Thanks.
So, they called my mum.
Oh, no.
What if they take away my scholarship?
They won't.
Not if you tell on the other girls.
- I can't.
- Why?
The raid wasn't even your idea.
And you didn't even want to do it.
What's so special about Portia?
They're coming back.
Here we are.
I think you'll get a lot from this, Jo.
Is there anything else I should know?
About the raid, or just generally.
Fuck.
Yeah. And then we'll just,
like, eat lots, go out.
Go drink on the beach.
Yeah.
Where do you think you're going?
Get to the back of the line, Mackenzie,
with all the other losers.
Make me.
- You smirking cunt!
- Joanna!
What the hell are you doing?
She pushed in
and then she started fighting me!
If that's how you're going to be,
you can get to the back
of the bloody line.
Don't you think it's rude
that she didn't even bother to respond?
Look, this was 10 years ago.
You're about to be published
in an esteemed literary journal.
Can't we just focus on that instead?
It is really good of you
to skip footy for me.
Oh, sweet, innocent, Jo.
My presence here is not about you.
I'm chaperoning,
making sure there's no funny business
between you and Saskia.
Jo, you write so beautifully.
- It's nice you're here.
- I wouldn't miss it.
How about some beers, Jo?
Hey, could I get three beers, please?
Thanks.
You didn't need to buy the journal.
Jo gets it for free.
I know.
I just wanted to show my support.
Cheers.
Mackenzie.
You part of this?
Page 14. Short stories.
Don't read it. It's not very good.
Yes, it is.
Let me buy you a drink.
Friend of yours?
Portia.
Hey, everyone, welcome.
Thanks for joining me to launch
another edition of Boil The Sea.
Now, we're really lucky to have had
so many amazing contributors
to this edition.
It's such a pleasure to see
so many of you here today,
after all your months of hard work.
So you guys went to school together?
- Sort of.
- We did Silver Creek.
You know, that year in the bush?
That was a whole year.
Remember the dorms,
and the lack of heating.
The curtains did nothing.
We were totally exposed. So vulnerable.
No adult supervision.
Yeah, just
Just Lacey, who was, what, 12,
and hated all of us.
Except you.
The favourite.
- That's not true.
- It sounds horrible.
I don't know how anyone could
put that child through that.
Rich people.
You know, they love
role-playing the simple life.
It wasn't simple. It was bloody hard.
Which was the point
to build resilience.
OK.
It wasn't all bad, Rubes.
I'm going to bounce.
I've got work tomorrow.
Yeah, I might, too.
You don't want another?
Catch you at home?
What was the deal there before,
with your friend,
the one who loved your story?
Saskia, they're my housemate.
And they're in love with you.
They have a girlfriend.
They're cute.
They're not really my type.
And again?
I have another thing.
Thanks, McKenzie.
That was fun.
So what's happening
with you and Saskia? Spill.
- Nothing's happening.
- Really?
Because they were pretty pissed
when you didn't come home with us.
Wanted the whole Portia story.
Why? It's none of their business.
- We slept together.
- Jo!
Just once.
Twice.
- It was an accident.
- Ugh.
Hey, do you think it was weird
that Portia was there?
Like, I literally
haven't seen her in 10 years.
Yeah.
It's almost like the universe
is trying to tell you something.
Like what?
Don't fuck your housemate.
- Eat your own bloody food!
- No!
- I'll cut some of yours.
- My sausages!
Here.
You can have some of mine.
Come on, Jo.
Time to stop caring so much
about Portia.
- It's fine for you. She likes you.
- She'll get over it.
She'll find someone new to hate soon.
What have I done wrong?
It's just Portia.
She has a favourite one day,
and then she moves on to someone new.
Don't worry about it.
Come on. If you get enough now,
you won't run out later in the term.
Who the fuck cares? Why can't we get
a proper hot water system?
I don't think so.
What is it?
Jo was just admiring
your G-string, Miss.
What a stupid thing to say.
For that, you can finish
collecting wood on your own.
Let's all head back.
Jo can do the rest.
Loser.
Hello?
I think there's someone out there.
What? Really?
Yeah. I felt it before. In the trees.
Calm down. It was the wind.
Fine. I'll check.
There's no-one there.
- But I heard them.
- It's probably just a possum.
There's someone out there.
I know there's someone out there.
Sorry. Sorry. Maybe I was wrong.
Yeah, you were.
You fucking bitch!
- You stupid fucking bitch!
- Jo, Stop!
Girls, lights out.
- Now. Hurry up.
- But Jo saw a man outside.
Enough, all of you.
You don't believe me either.
Just be quiet, Joanna.
Yeah. Where's she going now?
Probably on her way to suck off Pegg.
Stupid slut.
Hear me?
No-one leaves until I say.
We need to stay in bed to protest
Miss Lacey for not believing Jo.
Girls, why aren't you at breakfast?
That's enough.
I need you all to stand up, now.
What is this nonsense?
All of you, get up.
Get up, now.
No.
We don't listen to sluts.
Slut.
Slut.
Slut.
Slut, slut!
Slut! Slut! Slut!
Did you see her run out?
Oh, my God.
He's a very sexy kind of dad, isn't he?
Yeah, but he's like, literally, a baby.
- Yeah, but
- He's so young.
Hey.
How was the rest of last night?
Didn't stay out too much longer.
Oh, did you guys all go out together?
Yeah.
To the launch of this
pretentious little journal
that Jo's writing for.
"Pretentious little journal"?
OK, well, maybe not little.
Ah, good afternoon.
Thanks for the coffee, guys.
It was delicious.
No worries.
- Have a good one, Keith.
- Have a good one.
- See ya.
- See ya.
I told you you don't need to do this.
We can do it ourselves.
With what?
So
Have you thought about my birthday?
What's the point?
You know we'll end up fighting.
Won't be fun for anyone.
Can you at least think about it, for me?
New girl seems nice. Gabby, is it?
She's not new.
She's Saskia's girlfriend.
Oh, excellent.
Excellent.
- Fuck you.
- It's not bad.
- I'm sure it's not bad.
- It's seasoned.
OK. Seasoned with what, floor?
Yeah.
- Don't do that.
- Just a little bite.
Miss Lacey will catch you out here.
Maybe come back inside.
Fair enough.
Isn't it pretty?
Reminds me of fireflies.
Fuck, you're a loser.
Bloody smoke.
Hey.
Are you alright?
Is it actually?
Ew, don't put those near me.
I don't want to catch your acne.
Gross. Gross. Gross.
Everyone's so gross, it makes me sick.
You know what?
I hate you.
I fucking hate you!
I fucking hate you! I fucking hate you!
Ooh. Lover's tiff.
"I fucking hate you"
Sarah, what are you doing?
Cheaters.
What's the point?
Why do we let her do this to us?
No, you don't get it.
Me and Portia
we've done stuff.
What kind of stuff?
Are you feeling awkward
about this, Mackenzie?
No.
Thought it would be nice
to get out of the city.
Yeah, I'm into that.
What sort of thing did you want to do?
I just wouldn't mind
some more information.
Can you relax?
Surprise is half the fun.
I'm relaxed.
OK. So tell me about the last 10 years.
Don't be boring.
I'm not very interesting.
Have you been in love?
Not really.
Have you broken any hearts?
Three.
Have you done therapy?
No. I have not done therapy.
I just date the wrong people.
And I hate it when
girls want things from me.
Should we get another bottle?
It's not like we're getting back
tonight anyway.
- Aren't we?
- I'm drunk, Jo.
I have work tomorrow.
Oh, will the concert hall
not survive without you for a day?
I can't just miss a shift.
Well, I can't drive you.
Where do you want to go?
Portia?
OK.
Guess it's bedtime.
Lights out, or do we wait
for Miss Lacey?
Since when do we listen to Miss Lacey?
What are you doing?
Can't sleep.
Fucking take this Oh, my God!
Oh. Aw.
Wasn't I just saying how hungry I was?
How about a rabbit au vin?
This is ethical meat eating, right?
It's killing your own food.
Yeah. It's just the circle of life.
Dinner is served.
Stop it!
He doesn't belong to you.
As if I would hurt an innocent rabbit.
I'm not a monster.
I mean, I thought it was funny,
didn't you, McKenzie?
Yeah.
Yeah.
- Hey.
- Jo.
I was just on my way out.
I only wanted to clear the air
after the other day.
It's fine. Nothing to clear.
Um, can I just say one thing, please?
I understand that Silver
Creek was hard for you,
but, Alice,
it was hard for me too.
I couldn't have been the worst,
because we were actually
in the same boat.
It was torture.
I was a joke to those girls
and they let me know it.
Oh, is that it?
Yeah, I don't mean to be rude,
it's just
I'm on my way to see
a friend at the hospital.
Oh, sorry.
That sounds serious.
Yeah. You go.
- I'll see you later.
- See you.
Yes.
Hey, you're back.
I was just about to lie down, actually.
Do you need anything?
Uh, no. No, I
I just wanted you to know
that I broke up with Gabby.
What do you want me
to do with that, Saskia?
Uh
Nothing.
I just thought you should know,
that's all.
What's going on?
Tog room.
Go see for yourself.
What are you doing?
Who did this?
- Can't say.
- Ronnie, who did this?
Sarah.
OK? It was Sarah.
How did you do this?
- How did you suck her back in?
- Me?
Deaf? It was Sarah.
The fuck is wrong with you?
It was a joke. A dare.
I never thought she'd actually do it.
What's she ever done
to deserve any of this?
Nothing.
Nothing at all.
Feral bitches!
Hey!
Fuck off.
Girls.
Sarah has been expelled.
She's at the house now,
packing up her things.
You are not to go up there.
You're to stay away from the house.
Good riddance.
Seriously, she was fucking crazy.
Are you OK?
I had to tell.
Sarah didn't deserve this.
Oh, yum!
- Ooh!
- What else has Sarah been hiding?
- I bags those.
- No, we're splitting them.
Don't you want anything, Kanga?
This is all thanks to you.
What was the point then, right?
Yeah. Who's next? No-one's safe.
Oy, Kanga.
- Kanga!
- Kanga!
Hello!
Kanga! Wakey, wakey!
Wake up!
Hey, KFC, you going to
piss yourself tonight?
Or worse. Shit your pants?
Better wear a fucking nappy.
Or get your cello case ready.
We were fucking talking to you.
Stop being so fucking rude, Kanga.
Why the fuck are you ignoring us?
Get up!
- Oh!
- Oh, she's mad now.
Oh, fuck off!
