HE EXHALES DEEPLY
INDISTINCT DISTANT CHATTER
The reason is, like
What you man saying?
What he said.
Brah, what happened to you?
I'm joking. I know what happened.
Everybody knows.
Couple of cuts and bruises, man.
Nothing too serious.
I wouldn't worry about it. I would.
I would definitely be worryin'.
Apparently there's a video
going around.
We said we wouldn't watch it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Solidarity and that.
I can't lie, though, curiosity
got the best of me, bro, man.
I can't believe my man
actually pissed on you!
But you know what, if it pops off
again and you need backin',
let me know. I'm dere.
What you going to do with your
Drake lookin' self, fam?
Ho, don't get it twisted.
I'm light-skin pretty,
but I'm dark-skin aggy, you know?
Look at this guy. Big man ting, fam!
Boy, he's talking
all big, bruv. What?
Oh, God.
Carol! Always a pleasure.
Though once again,
you can't park here.
One of your new scholarship
students did this.
You'll be pleased to know
I've dealt with the matter.
These kids were brought in to quiet
the noise since the incident.
It seems they're making more of it,
particularly all over my son's face!
And I hardly think this is the new
and improved St Gilbert's image
you were hoping for.
I understand your concerns,
but I assure you,
the new scholarship students are
showing themselves to be
exceptionally gifted.
Well, I hope you're right.
As seated chair, if I'm not happy,
the board is not happy.
And I'd hate for your role at
St Gilbert's to be in jeopardy
because of an
ill-thought-out scheme.
The image and reputation
of the school
is at the forefront of my mind.
Now, I'm sure you have a very busy
day ahead, so I won't keep you.
Yeah, are Chelsea and Preeya ready?
Well, tell them to hurry up.
Toby, hey. Oh, hi.
How are you doing? Abby.
I'm very well, thank you for asking.
Uh, you're looking radiant today.
Are you still good to hook us up?
Course. I got you! I got you!
I'll even help you guys set up,
you know?
I got two, two bits and pieces
to make it the night of our life.
What party?
Sixth form have a house house party
at the start of every year.
It's going to be really fun.
You should come.
Oh, Jaheim's comin'.
Jaheim is always coming.
He's, uh, very virile.
JAHEIM KISSES HIS TEETH
He's gone.
Bye.
I love you.
So, how come Abby's on you
all of a sudden?
Man's got that charm, innit?
He's going to sell her drugs.
He's a drug dealer.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
What?
So, these posh yutes don't know
where to get a lil' food from?
The last guy graduated, innit?
OK. You're on the Escobar flex now?
Nah, bro. Weed, innit.
Gummies and that.
It's still drugs.
Bro, I'm not shottin'.
I'm just patternin' Abby
and her friends so I can smash.
Can't you smash from, you know,
just being who you are?
Promise me you'll never lose
your innocence.
Hey, what the fuck is goin' on?
Come, let's go.
CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK
Oh, my days.
Rah! I know, right?
Nah, I meant your handwriting, bruv.
What, were you drunk? Oh, OK.
So, we're taking the piss?
You're dealing with all
dis stupidness,
when there's all dis untapped
dick for the takin'!
Why would I be chasing dick when
I have this to contend with?
Plus, the closest thing to my
melanated African King round here
is one of you lots.
And, to be honest, I'd rather die
sexless and alone than let
any one of yous
near my region, so
What about Koku?
He was just there.
Please do not play with me
or my fertile eggs.
Oh, you wanted his attention.
I think you've got it.
Get to class, everyone.
INDISTINCT CHATTER
Yeah. I think you broke him.
Either that, or you're
completely fucked.
Hurry up, you're late.
Take your seats.
A lot to get through today.
Jacob, I want you
at the front today.
Quicker, please!
Femi!
Miss, I just wanted to double check
that this is correct.
Yes, that's right.
This is going to bring down
my average.
How can I say? Do better.
Everyone, take your seats!
I will not ask again.
Maybe I can go at this one again,
Miss. I feel like I can do better.
It doesn't really work like that,
Femi. Miss, please.
I don't think you understand.
I can't go away with a C.
I just can't.
OK. I want it back Monday morning.
If I can see an improvement, I might
be able to move you up to a B.
Only this time. Make it worth it.
Thank you, Ms Harper!
You know everyone will stop talking
about it in a couple of weeks.
I ain't letting it slide. Meaning?
PHONE BUZZES
TEACHER SPEAKS IN BACKGROUND
You bringing the mandem?
Mr Staithes, am I interrupting you?
Oh, yes, actually.
I was, uh I was, uh, helping
my fellow classmate with
some work here.
I'm fully capable of leading my
own class. Thank you, Mr Staithes.
As I was saying, this blocks the
production of prostaglandins,
which are involved
Bro, you know what they did to me.
You, man, I know Malachi and
dem man are your day ones, yeah?
But dem men are tapped.
Feds are always involved when
dem man are around. So?
Listen, if you want to take
my advice Mr Staithes!
Clearly you know more than me,
so why don't you put together a
paper and present it to the entire
class on Monday morning?
2,000 words.
Ah, that's all right, Sir.
I'm more than happy to just listen.
3,000 words.
No, sir, but it's just that..
4,000 words.
On what, Sir? Surprise me!
KNOCK AT DOOR
Felix? Sir.
Are Palmer-Grace, Marsham
and Staithes in this division?
Look what your madness has done!
My madness? Have you seen the
madness 'pon this breddah's face?
You did deface school property.
With Pritt Stick
and washable spray paint!
HE SPEAKS NIGERIAN
What'd he say?
Jaheim, do I speak Nigerian?
Ain't you the polyglot?
Shut up, man! Nothing.
I didn't say anything.
I just don't need this right now!
Hiya. Hey. Are we being expelled?
Cos I had nothing to do with
the vandalism of the portrait.
Brah. You switched up quick.
Proper pagan! But snap.
I had nuttin' to do with that
either.
Well, we thought it was ingenious.
Really? Yeah.
Bernard thinks so too, yeah!
I mean, that wasn't
his first thought, mind,
but once we reminded him
of why you're here,
he justjumped right on board.
Yes?
Sorry, um, who the hell are you
and what's this creepy-arse place?
Oh. We're Preeya and Chelsea.
I'm Chelsea, she's Preeya.
And we are the Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion team!
We've been told to be a bit more
hands-on because there's
a couple of concerns that maybe
you're struggling to adapt.
Why would you think that? Uh
Sorry, just to clarify,
I'm not in trouble for
the whole portrait thing?
Oh, no! Oh, God, no.
If anything, we want more of it.
We understand you're starting
an Afro-Caribbean Society.
We have already advertised it.
Check it out.
PHONES BUZZ AND BEEP
It's just one of the many ways
we'll help you show the world
the black excellence you'll become
here at St Gilbert's. Mm-hm.
Sorry, but, um, what if some of us
have already achieved
black excellence?
Toby. Accepted on your
language skills,
achieving nines in GCSE Spanish,
French and German. Impressive.
You're now taking Japanese,
but currently at foundation level?
Well, I've just I've just
started that, so Yeah.
It's not exactly excellent, is it?
It's actually quite poor.
Ms Kaneko's first Japanese club
starts tomorrow evening.
I think we'll sign you up for that.
Tomorrow's Saturday.
Really doesn't work with me.
We plan to capture you and your
black excellence at all times,
whether that be your activism
or music, Leah.
Your incredible artwork, Omar.
Your languages.
Your engineering or sportsmanship,
Jaheim. Or your
We must admit, Femi. We know you're
black, but we are struggling to
figure out what you're actually
excellent at. Yeah.
Boy. I'm sure it'll come.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, thanks
for your time, everyone.
Look forward to working
with you all!
Are you all right there?

Yeah, nothing's usually hilarious.
Come on, let me see. What is it?
Beatrix wants setting up.
With who? One of the scholarships.
Well, which one? Don't know.
Jaheim.
I guess.
Why are you being weird?
I'm not being weird. You are.
Obviously it's Jaheim.
Rupert, you pissed on him.
What do you care?
OK, whatever. OK.
If you're gonna be like that,
then fuck off!
WHISTLE
Right, we pummelled these
pricks last year.
And if we don't do the same today,
I swear to God,
I'll murder each and every one
of ya, in yer sleep.
Is that clear?
ALL: Yes, Miss!
Why's Jaheim kitted up?
Not today, Rupert. I'm just saying,
Franklin got benched after
his scrap with Pinchers.
I mean, surely after what
Jaheim did during trials, no?
What the hell is wrong with you?
I'm just saying, it's not fair.
Rules are rules. Everyone on the
pitch, get yourselves warmed up.
Go!
Come on, lads.
All right, come on, then. Let's go!
Jaheim, you're benched.
Follow him, follow him
Coach? Fuck!
Er, we thought you were starting.

Hey. Hey.

I know what you're trying to do

dick-swinging game with Rupert.
Is it cos you know I'd win?
Listen, I saw what your man was
packing when he pissed on me.
It's not that much.
SHE SCOFFS
Oh, you laughing at me getting
pissed on or your man's small dick?
You're unusually chipper
for a guy who's outnumbered.
Yeah, I like my odds.
Well, they're shit odds.
I'd cash out.
All right.
Well, be real with me now.
You and him for real?
Is that what you're on?
Budget Jack Grealish?
That's what you're on?
I didn't expect it, you know.
I thought you were better.
The confidence, Jaheim.
Listen, I'm just telling the truth.
Ah!
WHISTLE
Jesus Christ.
Are you blind, you simp?
Goodbye.
Come on, Rupert, you've got this.
What?
PHONE VIBRATES
Boys, so much better.
Wherever there are books,
there is Omar.
You say it like it's a bad thing.
Our education isn't going to
fall into our laps.
These comic books are part
of the curriculum?
I'm surprised you remember who I am.
Where are your Rah'scal friends?
Fox hunting?
Gotta make friends.
Gotta make this place
feel like home.
Maybe you should do the same.
I like my own company.
Why don't you come to the
party with us?
Will I need a gilet?
HE LAUGHS
No.
But eat something first.
These posh boys drink
vodka like water.
Sh.
What time you heading over?
I've got to finish Harper's
essay first.
Femi, it's due on Monday.
I know.
Hey, do you remember pizza essays?
Yeah. You do a couple of slices,
I do a couple of slices,
and we'd combine it and none of
the teachers would clock!
I've already done mine.
Can I take a look at it?
I've already handed mine in.
Better go, but I'll see you later?
What?
Yeah, OK.
Do you know what I remember
most about those pizza essays?
I'd write my slices
..then you'd come up with excuses as
to why you hadn't done your slices.
Then I ended up writing two essays.
I'll see you later, Femi.

I'm multitasking.
What's with all the bags?
I've got a girlfriend.
I am super excited that you've all
joined this voluntary evening class.
I hope you're as thrilled as I am.
Now, I want this to be
as immersive as possible,
so this will be the last time
you'll be hearing me
speaking English
for the next three hours.
Er, sorry Miss.
Did you just say that this
class is three hours?
HE LAUGHS
It's It's not what it looks like!
Oh, this is exactly what it looks
like, you dirty little pig!
What you going to do with that?
Ah, it's none of your business
what I do with it.
There's a secret society that
Oh, a secret society, oh
It's a secret society that
HE OINKS
There was a tattoo on a bum!
Leave me alone!
Where you going?
No, really, you seen this?
Look at this.
That's going everywhere.
HE LAUGHS
Brilliant.
So, this is what you're into,
you freaky little perv.
Oh, this is good.
Get in shape, get shape,
yeah, yes. Oh! Yes!
One for Femi!
Go on, yes, just a little pour.
Yes, yes, yes.
Perfect, perfect.
Thank you very much, darling.
Espresso martini!
What? No, I gotta
Mate, mate, mate. You don't want to
miss this party, OK?
I've heard that it's going to be,
like, proper, like,
you know, frisky!
Yeah? Well, if I don't
complete this, I'm screwed.
Wouldn't it be easier
just to, like, buy one?
Buy what?
HE LAUGHS
"Buy what?"
HE LAUGHS
All right, OK.
I'll help you, OK.
Use my account.
I've been doing this for years, OK?
Subject matter
..word count, and
..voila! Ooh!
Is this that AI thing?
No, mate. The school's got software
to pick up on that kind of shit.
No, this is done by boffins on
the other side of the globe
who are trying to feed
their families. Bless.
HE CHUCKLES
30 quid a page? Nah.
All right, consider it a gift, then.
From ton ami.
Mwah!
OK, send it, and then we'll
meet you there, yes?
Yes.
Rah'scals! We ride!
Mm.
INDISTINCT CHATTER
Yo, I'm busy. Leave a message.
Yo, Malachi, call me back, man.
I wasn't expecting to be
back so soon.
KISSES TEETH
Emergency visit. Must be bad.
I brought you some
chicken and chips.
It's cold.
You ain't heard of a microwave?
What's that?
Boys being boys, innit? Yeah?
Well, I'm hearing more than that.
From who? From people who are
concerned about you.
Or more about themselves.
Meaning? Meaning Leah.
It was actually Toby.
Yeah.
OK, so you get your revenge.
Then what?
Oh, is it back to the same shitty
school by Monday?
You know, the same one shitty one
that you were too bright for?
Oror maybe some shottin'?
It's funny how you're more
concerned about me
retaliating than how
I actually feel.
How much you get paid for every
student? Watch your mouth.
Look, I know you're angry,
but Rupert will come
out of this just fine.
I mean, fuck, he'll be our
Prime Minister in 20 years.
But you
..just remember
who's at home for you.
You don't need to do this.
Mabel, where is everyone?
People were keen, really keen.
Like, unbelievably keen.
Yeah, and? Get on with it.
And then they realised it clashed
with the house house party.
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't want to say anything
because you were so excited.
But we can still go ahead.
What? Me, you and
the creepy PR twins?
DANCE MUSIC PLAYS
Mwah!
Ooh!
SHE GIGGLES
Ooh. How was your event?
It wasn't as lively
as I would've hoped.
Maybe don't hold a political event
on the same night
as the first party of the year?
Well, it would've helped if I had
the most popular black girl
in school on my side, but hey.
And how would that have looked?
The headmaster's daughter standing
next to his biggest critic?
Sorry, what?
Abby! Why didn't you
tell me he was your dad?
It wasn't a secret.
I told you to drop all that crap.
Not to protect him,
but because no-one gives a shit,
and your no-show event proved that.
Look, take the night off.
Mandela. Come!
Come out with us.
Get drunk. Meet some boys.
Nothing takes your mind off of
bullshit like good dick.
Well, I don't drink, and no-one
here's my type, so
Who is your type?
Tall, dark and handsome.
Heavy emphasis on the "dark".
What about Koku?
Who the fuck is this Koku breddah?
Look, put something sexy on.
And none of those
black bullshit t-shirts.
Hmm No. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
Please!
Just a few drinks!
Oh!
SHE SHRIEKS

I think we can call it a day.
DANCE MUSIC PLAYS
Is this the school crypt?
Mm-hm.
Not exactly a house house party.
It's the tradition we like,
not the location.
And drink this for me, please.
Cheers, girls.
ALL: Cheers!
Nah. I'm not
I'm not trying to do
What did we just talk about?
There's a good girl.
Look at you. Can you not piss on
anyone tonight, please?
Can you not flirt with
anyone tonight, please?
Jaheim stood next to me.
I don't care.
You 100% care.
DANCE MUSIC CONTINUES
Yo, Jaheim!
Hi. I'm Cheddar.

Yeah.

Your shoes! It's fine.
They're Marks and Sparks,
they're pretty durable.

Thank you.
Um
You're flying low.
Oh, shit.
This is a great way
to first introduce myself.
Well, now that you've seen my willy,
I'm Dilton. Nice to meet you.
Yeah. Omar.
Oh, mate. I saw your work.
It was so dope. Really?
They posted it?
"They"? No, no, no.
It was on Rupert's page.
What you talking about? Yeah, look.
Look, look, look.
Oh. Thanks.
Very funny.
Wait, mate, I was being serious.
Nervous to talk to me now?
HE CHUCKLES
I'm trying to talk to your friend.
I think I might have
pissed her off a little bit.
Maybe because you were
flirting with me earlier.
No, wait - just using me
to piss off my boyfriend.
And now you're using me to get my
head kicked in, aren't you?
Call it payback.
Well, if we're going to do it,
get on with it, then, yeah?
See you later.

Gutter rat, innit? Uh
Hi, I'm Xiang.
Are you guys students here?
I think you know we're not, Xiang,
which makes me feel like you're
not being very welcoming.
I'll come back later.
Yeah, you do that, Xiang.
Get outta here, come on! Yo!

"I'm not shottin'.
Just a little bit of weed to smash."
Hobby turned into a business.
What can I say?
If this is out in the open,
you know the headmaster's
going to find out.
When he sees that you're selling
drugs in school, you're screwed.
All right, settle down, settle down.
Mr Staithes, ready to blow us away
with your special assignment?
Um, why not, Sir?
Even through all
technological advancements,
the human brain still hides
a plethora of secrets.
The influence of the brain
over the body
in some aspects is inexplicable.
If you create the right mood,
ambience
and belief that something
is what one says it is,
you can actually trick the body
into receiving the true chemicals.
Now, this is what we refer to as
the placebo effect.
If you do need any more information
about last night's events, Sir,
please do let me know.
Mr Marsham.
Guess it's back to Brixton.
Why did you want to attend
St Gilbert's, Mr Marsham?
Better school. Better life.
Bettereverything.
Then why have you pissed it away?
You know, this may surprise you, but
this scholarship is bigger than you.
It concerns everyone.
Especially me.
And if you look bad, I look bad.
So, despite your
..persistent need to push
the self-destruct button,
you shall remain at St Gilbert's.
But to keep you out of trouble,
you will report to the library
at 5.30am every morning
and attend special solo classes
in the evenings.
Phone.
Phone!
HE SIGHS
All communication home will be done
on this phone under my supervision.
And if you believe that my
keeping you at St Gilbert's
gives you some kind of power
or leverage that you
attempt to exploit,
I assure you that I will continue
to add to your extracurricular
endeavours to such an extent
that you will die of overwork
and exhaustion before you are
ever expelled from my school!
The scholarship programme will
be a success, Mr Marsham.
Whether you like it or not.
Now, get out.
