Paul Dood's Deadly Lunch Break (2021) Movie Script
I'm Paul Dood,
and I'm a triple threat.
I can sing, I can act,
and I sure as hell... No.
I'm Paul Dood, and I'm a
triple...
I'm Paul Dood,
and I'm a triple threat.
I can sing, I can act
and I sure as shit can dance.
I want to get to the top
of the Trend Ladder for my mum
because she's always believed in
me.
I think my mu's always thought
I've got what it takes.
And she just wants to see me
succeed.
So that's what I've got to do.
Paul.
What?
Do you want a tea cake?
No, Mum,
I'm just trying to do the video.
How's it going, the video?
It's good. Just going to finish
it.
Then eat.
Toast and marmalade?
No thank you, Mum.
I cut the crusts off.
Actually, I would quite like
that.
Toast and marmalade, then?
Please.
WHISPERING: What do you think?
Eh?
I'm on a vocal rest.
What do you think of the video?
WHISPERING: It's good.
You're clever, aren't you?
You don't need to do the vocal
rest.
I'm doing the vocal rest.
LOUDLY: It's good you're clever,
aren't you?
It's got 14 views
on Trend Ladder already,
so I'm pretty pleased.
COUGHING
Are you OK?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Right.
What did you think of the spin?
To be honest,
I think the spin's a bit much.
I think less on the spin.
OK?
Do you want to have a rehearsal?
Yeah, yeah.
Right, do your exercises.
GROWNING
One to the left.
Now the vocal ones.
Hip baaa.
Hip baaa.
Oh, no, come on.
Take it seriously.
Hip baaa.
LAUGHING: That's it.
Right.
Are you going to count me?
Count me in.
You ready?
One, two, three, go.
HUMMING
And then the spin.
Ah, you're doing too much
on the spin.
The sofa was in the way.
No, it's nothing to do with the
sofa.
Take it easy, take it easy.
Right, I'll count you in.
One, two, three, go.

Hiya, mate.
Hello, mate.
I've got some more stuff
I want to sell.
Ahh.
We're not buying anything,
sorry.
Oh, that's a shame.
This is all Old Alfred's gear.
God rest his soul.
All his military stuff,
some valuable items in here.
This is exciting.
Shoe polish.
It's army stuff, isn't it?
Yeah, but empty.
What do you want me to do with
it?
Give it to Oxfam.
Don't give it to those pricks.
What about age concern?
Yeah, sure, if you need it.
We'll give you 20
for whatever's in the box, Trev.
What?
This is his medals.
This is all his military stuff.
I'll give you 20.
Loving the hat, Paul.
It's worth a lot more than that.
Military stuff?
Alfred didn't see
any military action.
If there's any medals,
they'll be from sports days.
20?
Yeah, 20. That's fine.
All right, it's a deal.
We have a sale.
Alright.
20, yeah?
Nice to see you, Trev.
Yeah, see you soon, Jayney.
A bit of tagging, perhaps, Paul.
Oh, yeah.
Age concern.
That's your house, isn't it?
Is that how it's going to be?
You always bring up the ages
stuff whenever I come in here,
don't you?
Not the same when I'm giving
your mum a wash in front of the
fire.
Sounds romantic.
I'll be off then.
Love you.
Yeah, love to your mum.
You know, I think
he's killing off these old
blokes.
Yeah, well, we know
he's been doing that for a
while.
Ah, yes!
A new chest cam. Perfect.
Like a sort of bra camera.
Hey, UK Trenders.
We've had some great talent
here on the show

we've got our final regional

Stay with me on Trend Ladder

Hey Paul,

Mm-hm.
Yeah, well,
according to the app,
it says the heats are today.
Uh-uh, nope. They are next week
You should come

No, they're definitely next
week.
We've had some great talent
here on the show,
but at three p.m. today...
That's Tapp.
Yeah.
That's Jack Tapp.
Really?
Yeah.
Is this one of your jokes?
I'm not ready.
It's today, you fucking
doughnut.
I'm not ready.
Jayney, Jayney,
the auditions are today.
Jayney, the auditions...
Jayney, the audition's today.
Oh, God.
Paulie, breathe. Calm down.
You look ever so stressed.
I am stressed, I am.
Do you want to talk about it?
No, the Trend Ladder
talent show auditions are today,
not next week, I got the week
wrong.
The're today. I got the week
wrong.
Oh, that's a shame.
Yeah, can I go though?
Well, we're supposed to be
having one of our sessions this
afternoon.
We can't just...
Yeah, I know but if I go now,
I'll get there in time.
Please.
Oh, all right. Off you go.
OK, thank you.
I hope it goes well. OK, great.
Yes, thank you.
We can catch up
on the session another day.
Yeah, yeah, great. Thank you.
Just take your stress with you,
eh?
This is panic stations.
This is all systems go.
So what are you getting, the
glitter?
What else? The chest strap on?
How much is that, please?
This and this.
So, the whole rig thing there,
that's 10.
2.99 per glitter thing.
You've got about,
what, 10 of them there,
so that's like, what, 29.99,
plus 10, 39.99.
10 is all the money I have.
10, that buys you the chest
rig.
Just this?
Yeah.
Can I owe the shop for the
glitter?
No.
What about just one glitter?
No.
All right, just this then.
10.
OK, you're going to need
to take that off so I can bag it
up.
What?
Shop policy,
we have to bag all items.
OK, bag it.
Bag it.
Bag it, bag it.
Hey, look what this says.
Brilliant.
That's appropriate, isn't it?
'Have a nice day',
when you're clearly not.
Please.
Chuck her in.
Bag it up. All items must be
bagged.
OK, thanks, Bruce.
Paul, before you go, quick
photo.
Um, OK.

Hello.
Oh, Paul.
Yeah?
Train.
"The train
now standing at platform 2..."
Oh, I don't know how long
that train is going to stand
there.
I'll be OK. It's fine.
There's a ramp.
Let's get you on the ramp.
Oh, yeah, that will be quicker.
Definitely.
Oh, no, no, no, absolutely not.
Excuse me, sir.
What?
Hi. Yeah, I just want to get the
ramp
because I want
to get my mum on the train.
You don't have this badge on, do
you?
What? No.
Why is that, do you think?
Because my name's not Jim.
No, it's because you're not
the platform and customer
relations
supervisor, are you?
No.
I am.
According to railway law,
you are not trained or qualified
to operate that ramp.
Look, I can walk onto the train.
Madam, you are clearly disabled.
I will get that ramp down for
you,
don't worry.
Look.
It's going.
Oh, for goodness sake.
TRAIN HORN BEEPS
You've made us miss it.
The next train into town
is in 35 minutes.
Would you like to book the ramp
in?
Yes.
All you have to do
is phone this number here
and book it in.
Simple as that.
We didn't have to go
through all this.
You could've just helped us
then.
I'm afraid my hands are tied,
sir.
We've got to do this by the
book.
I don't want to, but I have to.
Just respect my job.

you?
We'll be all right.
Are we excited to meet Jack

Yeah
When I say 'Trend', you say
'Ladder'.
Trend! Ladder!
Trend! Ladder!
I wonder
what these guys' talents are.
BAD SINGING
I think we've got a finalist.
It needs to be faster,
though, does it?
Well, I think, yeah, the step
before the spin needs to be
faster.
So it goes there.
Remember the quick one.
SINGING
Are you the guys
that booked the ramp?
OK, well,
I'll just get it down for you.
Do you want me to help?
Sir, please.
Remember, this is
for trained professionals only.
The train's there.
Well, that's the wrong way
round,
isn't it?
Come on.
Sir, you're not authorised
to operate this type of
machinery.
Can you please just step away?
It's not mechanical, is it?
No, it's just a ramp.
Sir, sir, take a moment to calm
down.
This is dangerous equipment.
If I catch my hand in this,
I could have to take a week off
work.
Please stand back.
You've got it upside down.
Madam, if it wasn't for you,
none of this would be happening,
would it?
It's gone, we've missed it
again.
You can't even do your job
properly.
What?
You can't do the ramp.
What did you say?
Come on, Mum, we're walking.
Yeah, unbelievable.
He was so vicious, that man.
He was horrible.

Oh, yeah, yeah.
He's really upset me, that man.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Oh, and water. I need some
water.
I can't find the water.
It was in the flask.
I know, I know.
You took it. You saw it.
I saw the water. I saw you with

I must have dropped it.
I can't swallow them

No, I know.

Yeah, I know.
I can't swallow them.

You're not here for a tea
ceremony?
- No, no, of course not.
- Sorry.
Of course you're not.
You can't have the water.
Take away.
Huh? Take away.
We did away with plastic
centuries ago.
Is it possible
to get a glass of water?
To sit in?
Yeah, just for my mum and her
pills.
Accepting an offer from someone
without ceremony
is very offensive to my culture.
Your culture?
Well, if we're quick, perhaps.
Quick enough.

Well, I think he's Chinese,

Maybe born in America.

OK, right, I think I'll perhaps
just be on my way because...
It is impossible

It hasn't begun, has it?
You haven't even started

It's definitely begun.
The Bruce Lee bit was part of

I just flagged this.
The priest will be getting

I will.
We were here first.
But many who were first will be

And the last will be first, my

You heard him now get out of the

Everybody deserves a chance.

No, I hated it.
I hate you, I hate your song,
I hate your dance

The doctor told her
she had months left.
But she didn't tell me.
It's such a shame.
How are you getting on
with your list?
I think she just wanted me
to focus on my performance.
Because she always just sort of
wanted to see me succeed,
really.
Have you finished your list
of grief objectives?
I don't want to finish the list,
Jayney.
Well, I'm sorry, Paul,
but in my professional opinion,
I think you should finish your
list.
They don't just give out
these certificates, you know.
What did they teach you
about revenge on your course,
Jayney?
Um, let me just have a look.
There's a whole box

This is his medals.
This is all his military stuff.
I'll give you 20.
Loving the hat, Paul.
It's worth a lot more than that.
Military stuff?
Alfred didn't see

If there's any medals,
they'll be from sports days.
20?
Yeah, 20. That's fine.
All right, it's a deal.
We have a sale.
Alright.
20, yeah?
Nice to see you, Trev.
Yeah, see you soon, Jayney.
A bit of tagging, perhaps, Paul.
Oh, yeah.
Age concern.

You always bring up the ages

glitter?
What else? The chest strap on?
How much is that, please?
This and this.
So, the whole rig thing there,
that's 10.
2.99 per glitter thing.
You've got about,
what, 10 of them there,
so that's like, what, 29.99,
plus 10, 39.99.
10 is all the money I have.
10, that buys you the chest
rig.
Just this?
Yeah.
Can I owe the shop for the
glitter?
No.
What about just one glitter?
No.
All right, just this then.
10.
OK, you're going to need

Why is that, do you think?
Because my name's not Jim.

No.
I am.

you are not trained or qualified

Well, obviously it's not.

It's Jack Tapp.
Who?
F-F-S, Jayney.
Well, I don't...
Jack Tapp, the Internet guy.
Where's the spillage?
There is no fucking spillage.
INDISTINCT CHATTER
OK? See ya.
Hey, who's this guy?
I'm a huge fan.
Oh, are you?
Can you sign my autograph book?
What is that? That's not my
book.
I collect autographs in it.
What's your name?
Mac.
Mac. The rules here, Mac,
are you buy a book, I sign the
book.
You go away back to your home
and,
you know, get on with your life.
I don't have any money.
Well, I'm sorry about that
because I can't actually give
you a book.
This costs me money,
so you've got to buy.
Can you not just sign mine?
I can't, I'm afraid.
You can find me on the road
some other time and,
you know,
we can rectify this problem.
Thank you.
Sorry, Mac.
Aww, Mac.
Bye, Mac.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, thank you.
You've got a book for me to
sign?
Um, no.
No?
Do you want a book?
Yes, please.
Can I give her a book?
If you give her a book...
She's so pretty. What's your
name?
Yasmin.
OK, Yasmin.
So what are you doing, Yasmin?
What's happening around here?
Where's good to go?
I'm just glad to come and see
you.
You can give your number to
Gary.
Just see me after.
OK, thanks.
OK, Yasmin. Fucking hell.
"Well, the man known locally
as Paul Dood
"is believed to be on a rampage
after failing an audition.
"Joining me, a couple of ladies
who I think are eyewitnesses.
"So what happened
and what did you see?"
"Is it going out live?"
"Look, there's the camera, see?"
"Ladies, what did you see here?"
"Well, it was more the body.
We saw a huge body."
"We were just coming home
with our shopping, weren't we?
And then he just got his dick
out."
That's not true, actually.
That's utterly wrong.
I threatened to get my dick out.
Just to get rid of those old
bags.
And I didn't fail the audition
because they didn't give me
a chance to do it in the first
place
That is fake news.
What do you want from us?
Just... I don't...
Bacon sandwich to take away.
I'm sorry, I'm out of bacon.
What?
OK. Forget it.
Can you believe that?
It's on the news. That is lies.
Do you know what I mean, mate?
Lies.
And you need to sort out
your disabled access.
It's utterly appalling.
Look what you made me do.
Absolute farce.
I will not be back. No bacon.
"and some amount
of forensic activity,
"but that's all we can
report here from the scene.
"Now back to you in the studio."
"Thanks very much."

OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS
Right, sir,
you say that you recognised him?
Yeah.
Where from?
I saw him on the telly.
On the telly?
Yeah.
You hadn't met him before
or seen him in the street?
No, no, never.
So only from the telly?
Just on the telly,
but I knew it was him.
You knew it was him? OK.
Yeah.
Do you have one of those
clean up guys, like in Pulp
Fiction
to, you know,
clean up blood and guts in that?
Winston Wolf.
Sorry, what?
That's what he was called
in Pulp Fiction.
Can you just rewind
that last bit for me, please?
Description wise,
let's say I'm 6"4, because I am.
Look at my hand.
When it reaches
the height of the suspect,
I want you to say stop'.
Watch the hand.
You stop me.
I will.
Which is the height?
Keep looking at the hand,
don't look at me.
Was he smaller than this?
There.
Are you wasting police time,
sir?
No, that's how tall he was.
Was he a child?
No, he was in a wheelchair.
What?
"We now have additional news
from the developing situation
"with the murder in Finchmere,
"which has gone viral
on Trend Ladder."
What's that?
That's his wheelchair.
He had a wheelchair for some
reason.
It was definitely
a wheelchair, was it?
Not, like, a shop mobility
scooter?
No, it was a wheelchair.
So the gentleman was disabled.
He might have stolen it.
You can't accuse him
of stealing something, sir.
How do you know that?
Suspect is now in a wheelchair.
I repeat, suspect is now
in a wheelchair in disguise.
Over.
"He's wearing a brown coat
and he has a samurai sword."
"Reports are coming in,
"he is dressed in a sparkly,
spangly,
tight-fitting green unitard."

Oh, God, not another one,

You've got so many at home.
But I want it.
But you'll have to carry it

Actually, you'll have to carry
it.
How much is it?
She can't have another one.
Daddy, can you please tell mummy
that I hate her with all my
heart?
Darling, she said to tell you
that...
Isn't it amazing
that someone's whole life...
is just reduced to this box?
and you're tagging it up.
Do you have anything more
realistic?
This seems a bit far-fetched.
It's a comic book,
it's meant to be far-fetched.
A bit much for me.
Try a fishing manual.
We've got one over there.
OK.
Pretty realistic.
Paul, have you seen
what the tags say?
It says that on all of them,
mate.
I think this might be
an American book.
The fish look different.
I couldn't give two wanks
where your fish are from, mate.
Have you twatted the whole

Why would you do that, Paul?
I didn't do it.

We were just messing around

You know me.
I'm a fucking idiot.
OK Paul,
you wanted to audition, right,
for the Trend Ladder show?
Yes.
That's great. What was your act?
Quite hard to describe.
Music, dance, singing based.
But my mum, she wanted to see it
but she didn't really.
I'm so sorry to hear about
what happened to your mum.
I really am
but do you think
she would have wanted this?
Not quite.
But she wanted to see me
audition
for Jack Tapp.
She did I think, but I wasn't
ready.
Are you ready now?
Yeah.
OK.
Well what if I was
to get Jack Tapp here
and you was to audition again?
I mean, would you release
some of the hostages then?
Yeah.
They could go.
Um.
Weird man could go.
Great.
Clemmie could go.
I want to stay.
Do you?
OK, that's great.
Paul, I'm going to go outside.
I'm going to get hold of Jack
Tapp.
I need you to apply
full pressure to that.
Please don't take your hand off.
If you do, you won't get to
audition.
OK?
Good point.
I'm going to get Jack Tapp.
I'll be back.
Just stay watching. Thank you.
How are you?
Very well thank you?
It's very good to see you.
And you.

we need to get Jack Tapp down
here.
Absolutely not.
He said that he's going
to release four hostages

it can be quite difficult.
He's got a hand grenade and a

What? Number 2?
Yeah.
How?
I don't know, everyone's calling
for you to go down there.
Why would I do that?
There's no benefit in that for
me.
For the hostages.
Like I said,
there's no benefit in that for
me.
