MUSIC: Say Less
by Ben Sumner
Jesus Christ, just send it!
I'm part way through.
Let me read it.
You're sending the boy you like
..an email?
I've got a lot to say!
Do you want him to fuck you
or employ you?
Leah, why aren't you ready?!
She's sending her CV to Koku.
Assembly's in ten minutes and we
haven't even rehearsed your speech!
I know, I know. I'm going to
write it for you. OK, right.
Don't say anything dirty, OK?
Erm, "Dear Koku.
"Saturday night was fun"
No, no, no, no. Don't say that.
Saturday night wasn't fun?
Yeah Leah?
I was drunk. Did you kiss?
Yeah. No I don't remember.
You slag. Who did you even
hook up with?
No. I literally hate everyone.
No-one here is my type.
What about Toby? I swear you were
winding up on him. I saw it
Stop deflecting. OK, right
"Dear Koku.
"Can't wait to suck you"
Oh, my God.
No. You cannot write that. Wait
Erm, Leah, not to rush you, but
All right, let's get this.
Mm-hm.
"I think, as my beautiful friend
Abby said,
"we should definitely" Ah, no.
So we've simply pivoted
a lot of the events already
in the calendar to fit nicely
into Diversity Day Mm-hm.
..which we've bundled together
into a lovely press pack.
Ooh. Chuka Umunna is coming.
We'll begin at assembly with
a small speech from you,
followed by Xiang Who's Chinese.
..speaking about
the inter-school bot battles,
alongside a small demonstration with
the robot he's competing with,
followed by Leah Who's black.
..giving a speech about
her petition against the portrait.
Oh, just to clarify,
a student vandalises school property
and in return
we're giving her a platform?
B, this is an opportunity!
Think about the optics. Yes.
A young, intelligent black woman,
expressing herself in one of
the most prestigious halls
in the country.
It's giving!
It's really giving.
Giving what?
You know, just
..giving.
He's a bit old for it, I think. Mm.
Doesn't get it.
Chuka can't make it.
Oh, shit!
Right, let's get David Lammy
on the phone.
Who?
MUSIC: Say Less
by Ben Sumner
No.
Yo, yo, yo, yo, Xiang, man!
Noise, please!
Where's my laptop?
I don't know.
It was here on Saturday night,
then your friends came.
OK. Do you want to be a little
more direct?
It's got my programme on it.
I need it for Bot Battles tonight.
If I don't have it, I can't
compete OK! All right, man.
Have you checked Lost Property?
Maybe I'll get Stanley to check
the CCTV footage,
you know, the security guard.
And we'll take it to Bernard.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! OK.
I say just give it a minute,
and it'll turn up.
And if doesn't?
Then it doesn't, innit?
Hey, yo! Turn off the light, man!
DOOR SLAMS
TOILET SEAT BANGS,
PERSON CLEARS THROA
HE KNOCKS ON DOOR
Hi there.
Erm, can I borrow a couple
of sheets, please?
Several sheets.
A wipe's worth.
What?
Surprised to see me?
I ain't goin' nowhere.
Weighin' in at who gives a shit,
the undisputed champion
of the world,
man like Jaheim!
HE LAUGHS
Where's my phone, dickhead?
Yeah, hold it. Hold dat.
Bruddah.
What the fuck is this, bro?
Beggars can't be choosers.
Beg I don't see anybody begging.
I paid you 20, B.
It's got Snake on it.
Yo! I'll slap you up, bruv.
You see that lighty?
She's on me.
That one dere?
Yeah, I'm not sure about
that one, bro.
It's lighty-love.
You lot wouldn't get it.
You won't go over there.
I dare you. You won't do it.
Yeah!
Hey.
Hey.
Is everything OK?
So you on it, yeah?
On what?
It.
"It" what?
It! What are you asking me?
Are you on to goin' on
a date with me?
Toby, babes,
I'm sure you're lovely but
I don't really do drug dealers.
Oh
What you talkin' about?
I patterned you and your bredrins
for the party.
I ain't actually shottin'.
Oi, Pusha T!
When's the re-up, my boy!
Huh? Hey, ladies. Hey
THEY CHANT: Pusha T, Pusha T,
Pusha T, Pusha T, Pusha T,
Pusha T!
I'll see you later, Toby.
Hey, come on, Stevie Wonder,
we're just messing with you.
Get home safely
the other night, yeah?
Oh, fuck off mate.
You'd have done the same.
Hey, whatever happened,
it couldn't've been that bad
if Jaheim's still here.
Sorry. I'm sorry.
Are you OK?
Yeah. Are you around free period?
Gym with the girls, like always.
What you doing?
I'm just making sure you're OK.
Yeah. Why would I not be?
Oh, you know what? Forget it.
Rupert
Oh. Sorry.
What are you looking
so chuffed about?
You finally got a dick up your arse,
have you?
Well, better.
The Raisinettes.
My first initiation! That's great.
They saw my work on your post, so
..thank you. Yeah.
I think.
Anyway, I've got to come up with
something special, you know?
Mm-hm. So I can show 'em my stuff.
And I actually thought of something.
How much trouble would I get
if I pulled off a prank?
I mean, with what you did,
you know, cos you're still here
But, erm
..my dad bought the school
a new hockey pitch.
And your family - no offence -
probably couldn't even afford
to attend a hockey game, so
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
DOOR OPENS
Gilbertus numquam concedat.
ALL: Gilbertus semper duret.
Good morning, everyone.
Xiang, if you'd like to come up?
Oh
Now, as many of you are aware,
the inter-school Bot Battle
taking place tonight is a staple
in the St Gilbert's calendar.
Now, we have lost to
Caldwell College in the past
few years, but we have a lot of
hope in Xiang.
And, erm, well, I believe
you are going to give us a little
demonstration, aren't you?
No.
I can't.
It'snot ready.
Right.
Well, thank you, Xiang.
Let's just go straight to Leah.
Oh, OK.
MUSIC: Be My Own Woman
by Panauh Kalayeh
I might not look like one of you,
but I am now part of this community.
As a young black woman,
I offer a unique perspective,
perhaps one that
hasn't been considered
in St Gilbert's history
PHONE ALERTS, LAUGHTER
..but that does not make me
any less important.
PHONE ALERTS, INDISTINCT CHATTER
But that does notmake
Mabel, what
Just ignore them.
No, no, no, no, no. No!
LAUGHTER
Shit!
That is fucking disgusting!
LAUGHTER
She's been sick in your mouth!
Say something.
Settle down. Shh.
Phones away!
Erm
SHE MUTTERS
Growing up as a black woman
LAUGHTER
Shh.
..in a white world,
I've leant on my community,
absorbing words of affirmation
as my mother moisturised my
..m-my afro.
LAUGHTER
Everybody, settle down!
SCHOOL BELL RINGS
FEMI HUMS A TUNE
Femi! Mm?
I wanted to talk to you
about your essay.
Ah, yeah, miss, I Relax.
It was good. Very good.
If you handed in this the first time
around, it would've been an A.
Now that I know you have it in you,
I expect As and A stars. Clear?
Yes, Miss Harper.
Annabel, gorgeous earrings,
but off - now.
DIAL TONE
Wha gwan, J!
What you tellin' me, man?
Man still on you?
Yeah, something like that, bro.
Ah, it's calm, man. You just gotta
play the game, my guy.
You all right?
Not sure it's gonna last
that long, bro.
What, you got into a madness again?
It's my roommate, Xiang, innit?
Lost his laptop.
Yeah, but how's that
your problem though, bro?
Ah, he thinks I had something to do
with it, man, and, ah
..he's got this competition thing
and if I don't get it back
to him then, ah,
he's gonna go to the headmaster.
I just, ah, you know
..wish I knew where it went.
Yeah, I'm sure it'll turn up
at some point, bro.
SCHOOL BELL RINGS
Ait, well, listen,

INDISTINCT CHATTER
KNOCK AT DOOR
Sir.
I thought I made it clear that
I didn't want to see
you in my office again.
Nobody sent me, sir.
I, erm I thought maybe I could,
erm, ask for a favour, please?
Yo. Can I talk to you?
Yo, just cos I don't understand you
don't mean I won't slap
every one of you up, bruv.
Apart from you.
Thank you.
Listen, bro, I know
you lost your laptop,
but just let me help you
with a new programme.
It's six hours until the event.
It took me six weeks to write!
Just trust me, OK?
What's worse? Taking my help
or not competing at all?
Exactly.
The design and tech block.
I got us computers and I got us
time off work.
How did you manage that?
I'm black excellence.
Come along, my friend.
Aha!
MUSIC: Never Gonna Stop
by Two Hidden Labs
You did all this?
Bruv
That's actually kind of dope.
I know!
LAUGHTER
I can't stop watching it!
You know, it's, like, my third
viral video of the week.
You spread it?
That is cold, Florence!
On my mother's life,
I didn't think it would go viral.
It was worth it, though,
to see Mabel talk about being
"a strong black woman."
THEY LAUGH
Ugh!
ABBY SLAMS THE WEIGHTS
Are you all right, Abby?
Fine.
Then why aren't you laughing?
I'm just not.
OK.
I just didn't think it was
that funny.
Sorry, a white woman talking about
showing her afro black hair love?
I'm gonna have to disagree, mate,
cos that is fucking hilarious.
Seriously.
FLORENCE LAUGHS
LOUD ELECTRONIC MUSIC
DISTANT: Abby
Abby, can you help
Abb
Ow!
Oh, oh! Oh, shit.
What the fuck, Abby?! Shit, shit.

Show the records, bro.
It's that one.
Bro, we get money from anywhere.
Do you get me, yeah? Boom.
Know what I'm sayin'?
DOOR OPENS
What did you do?
I changed it to Duplexiat.
Yours was too slow.
I told you to stop fucking up
my shit!
That's it. I'm telling Bernard
about the laptop. Whoa, hey, bro.
I'm sorry, innit?
I'll change it back.
Nah. I'm messing with you.
This guy
You're actually good at this.
You sound surprised.
You just seem like you spend
more time on 'the road'
than in a computer block.
Is that what Florence likes
about you?
I'm hearing things.
I did not take you for
a gossip, Xiang.
I saw the kiss.
That wasn't a kiss like that,
man, right? It was
It wasn't even a kiss.
It was just It was just
Yeah, drama, innit?
So, you're 'on' Beatrix?
Or not your type either?
What is your type?
JAHEIM SNICKERS
What's your type, bro?
Thicc girls.

Bro! Like that, yeah?
OK!
CAMERA CLICKS
That'll be a good one
for the socials.
We We're not even here.
Crack on.
PIANO MUSIC
SHE THUDS ON KEYS
OK So a perfect place
for you to hide.
Why would I be hiding?
Because there's a video of you
puking in Koku's mouth
on social media going round
Abby, Abby, shut up, shut up!
..the whole school.
SHE BANGS THE KEYS
This is why I don't deal with
boys or relationships.
Did you at least get
some signatures?
Yeah, I got a shit-tonne, but
I'm gonna have to delete them all.
Why?
I don't think Pukey McPukeface
and Viscount Chundermeister
really exist.
Look, forget it. Just come with me
to the Bot Battles thing and
Are you mad?
I'm not showing my rah self again.
Please, don't make me go alone.
My dad wants me there,
otherwise I'm never going
to hear the end of it.
What about Bea and Flo?
Our friendship was put under
a lot ofstrain today.
Toby?
Are you his pimp or something?
What part of "he's a lot"
are you not understanding?
What, so smart and intelligent
isn't your type?
He was trying to sell
knock-off trainers,
amongst other things.
But that's just Toby.
He tries to act cool,
put on a front. Plus,
what have you got to lose?
You signed it.
I thought you didn't DO politics?
No, but I do do friends.
That's such a cheesy line.
Yeah, it felt right at the time!
Fuck you!
"But I do do friends, girl!"
THEY LAUGH
HUMMING TO HIMSELF
Oh, hey, man.
Hey.
How was chemistry?
Did you blag your way through?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What are you doing?
I'm going to get another essay.
Am I a cash machine to you?
If you want me to pay you back,
I can pay you back.
Mate, you don't even have a laptop.
What is that supposed to mean?
He's saying you're poor.
Fuck off, Graham.
Ooh, touchy!
All right.
Mate, I'm I'm on an allowance.
And if I piss it on your essays
I won't have any money for mine, OK?
Hm.
Thank you.
Fuck!
Hey.
We were meant to be a team.
There was a video of me throwing up
in someone's mouth.
I couldn't exactly crack on.
I just told the entire school
how hard my life was
as a poor black woman.
I had to read your speech.
Everyone's been calling me
Angela Davis all day.
Well, at least they know
who Angela Davis is.
Oh
Did we at least get any signatures?
Abby signed.
Really?
Mm-hm.
She's the last person I expected
to do that.
You owe me.
Pizza and a movie.
OK, fine!
But please
..no more Erin Brockovich.
You don't have a choice.
Yay!
Mm-hm. Erin Brockovich
..again!
Wait, wait, wait. What are you going
to do about Koku?
Remember we're not talkin' about it.
Let's not
I think we have to talk about it.
It was so embarrassing!
It was so messy!
Sorry. Aiming for the bin.
Well, what have you come up with,
then? Let me see.
How about I save you the bother
and accept that it's shit?
Or gay? Or shit and gay?
Come on. My insults are far more
nuanced than that.
Yeah, well, as the main
recipient of your insults
I couldn't disagree more.
DOOR OPENS
Knock, knock.
Oh, ah, is this a bad time?
Hmm? Come round to bum
one another, is it?
Oh, OK.
Well, make sure you crack a window.
Honks of bellend in here.
Can I help you?
I just
I felt bad about the other night.
I really do like your drawings.
I mean, they have a very
Frank Miller-esqueness to them.
But dirtier.
I brought, ah, chocolate biscuits,
as a peace offering.
I'm lactose intolerant.
Why am I so shit at this?
It's fine.
Thanks.
So,
what's it like living
with Lucifer?
He's all right.
He fell out with some of his friends
so he's a little more lonely
and bored, which means I get to
spend some 'quality time' with him.
I think the whole Jaheim thing
messed with him.
I actually feel bad for him.
You are too nice.
I'm in Alvingham,
so if you ever need to,
you know, take a break from that,
or anything else
..just give me a shout.
Thanks.
Oh
There is one thing.
Do you know where the circuit
breakers to the school are?
MUSIC: Party Like It's 1984
by Steven Coronado
I'm devastated, miss,
but I'm soldiering on.
It's so painful!
But are you sure it's broken?
No, it's just we've got a big game
next Sunday.
What can I say?
Bollocks!
Where have you been?
Checking on Leah.
Is she dying?
What?
Well, I have a broken foot and
you didn't come to check on me,
so I assumed she must have been
involved in a horrific
car accident whereby she suffered
significant injury.
I thought you weren't going
to come because of the whole
We know your dad forces you
to come to these things.
We did not want you to have to
endure it on your own.
Right.
It's just that I'm
..kind of on adate thing.
With who?
Cooool. No worries.
We'll just go fuck ourselves.
Shall we?
Sorry. She's being such
a dick today.
What the fuck are you wearing?
This is your kind of thing, no?
Why would you dressed as waiting
staff be my 'thing'?
But you're bougie.
In a nice way!
This is going to be a fun evening.
LAUGHTER
It's a bit
..dry.
Let's wet it with a likkle drink.
I don't think they'll serve
alcohol to the students.
That's cool. I've got two friends
who can help us with that.
Wray and his nephew.
Where did you steal that from?
Oh, so that's what you think of me?
I'm just struggling to
figure you out.
You get what you see.
Unless I'm a bit too gutter
for you or somethin'?
I don't think you are gutter.
I think it's a front.
Oh, is that right?
'Gutter' doesn't take up
Japanese club.
Listen, I just like Yasujiro Ozu
films.
So you learnt Japanese?
It's not that deep.
Why are you afraid to be clever?
TRANSLATION FROM JAPANESE:
What's that mean?
Maybe you'll find out later.
Ah, what are you doing out here?
Sorry?
I need fresh wine glasses.
Oh, nah. I'm not I don't have
time for this, Ade, OK?
Just back in the kitchen now.
Let's go.
Prick!
Nah, it's all good.
I'm going to go to the toilet.
Excuse me one second, yeah?
Sure.
Ade, what are you doing with those?
The headmaster asked me to deliver
these to the board members.
Complimentary.
OK, just hurry back, all right?
Those bins need emptying.
Can do, chief.
I meanchief.
Ladies and gentlemen, Bot Battles
will be commencing in five minutes.
Here you go. Thank you.
Erm, I didn't order a Meat Feast.
That's mine.
Erm
..can I have my pizza?
You're harder to track down than
a missing AirPod.
Ah
Look, if this about the sick in
the mouth Blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah. I don't
I don't want to talk about it.
Leah, it's really not that serious.
If it helps, you're not the first
person that's throw up in my mouth.
Really?
Are you sure you're not the problem?
Anyways, I've got to go.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Why you going that way?
I need to go back to Catley.
That's the long way.
There's a short cut.
Follow me.
So exactly how many people have
thrown up in your mouth?
PHONE VIBRATES
Man like J! What you tellin' me,

"Mate"?
Bro, man accused you of being
a thief, and now he's your mate?
Well, I was partly responsible so

Why you movin' mad, bro?
Movin' mad? Bro, I've gone down
there to sort out your shit,

THEY LAUGH

I think you're jealous, and it's

Did you take the laptop, yes or no?
Simple fucking question.
Nah, bro.
Fuck you, bro.

I'm meeting Cheddar.
You're really doing a lot, innit?
Meaning?
Meaning tell me one thing
you like about Cheddar?
He's good looking.
He looks like an incel
from 4chan United.
Does Florence know you're
talking to me?
Look, you know what that kiss
was about.
PHONE ALER
That is probably Cheddar.
Bye, Jaheim.
This ain't over, you know?
Tick tock, tick tock!

nothing to do with me.
I just
I wanted to get you here alone.
Sorry, that came out creepier
than what I intended!
What I meant was
OK, I'm gonna go.
Oh, wait
MUSIC: Talk To Me
by Matthew Bento & Matthew Goodman
# Every night is like a riddle just
trying to figure you out
# And even if we fight a little
it feels like we go upside-down
# The way it's been lately
# You been driving me crazy
# And it's making me think it's not
the way it needs to be
# Talk to me, don't walk away
cos I only want your love
# Talk to me, don't walk away
cos I only want your love
# I only wanna know
if it's cool to come over, closer
# I only want to know
if it's cool for us #
HE SWITCHES TO LOUD ROCK MUSIC
Shit! Oh
IT SWITCHES BACK TO ROMANTIC SONG
Smooth.
Yeah? Well
I can't take credit for
the set and that,
but you know I do my thing.
There's still room to improve,
but it's a good start.
Quite the event!
The board was particularly impressed
to see Jaheim competing.
Well done.
It's not my win, Carol.
It's a St Gilbert's' win.
I know you like to think of me
as some kind of
..Wicked Witch of the West.
That's quite dramatic, but
You were just protecting your kids.
I am trying to protect mine.
Felix didn't even get
an interview for Cambridge.
Head boy, and a rugby captain!
It's as if boys like him are being
penalised for being who they are.
If Felix couldn't get in,
what hope is there for Rupert?
I'm sure with a mother
as tenacious as you,
they will do just fine in life.
Rupert is struggling, and he needs
all the help he can get.
Mm.
In all honesty, I'm done with giving
Rupert preferential treatment.
He's on his own.
Safe journey home.
Yes!
Got something in your hair.
Oh There. Ah.
Aha.
Oh!
Your Hmm?
Ah, yeah.
Ahh Ooh
I've broken it.
It's fine. I think it's
from a market stall
in Morocco or something.
Yeah.
Sorry, I got a little excited.
I know.
I was there.
So, erm
..when are we going
to do this again?
I was thinking it was
more of a one-off.
So, what? You're just using me
to piss off Daddy, yeah?
You're just a little different
to what I would usually go for.
If this is about the gummies,
they weren't even real, you know.
Hmm! OK.
No, seriously.
They were just sweets.
OK. Hmm!
I don't chase gyal, you know?
Great. Makes it easier for me to
leave.
Night, Toby.
I'm through!
I'm through to the next
round of the Raisinettes!
Of course, you are.
Who doesn't love a cock and balls?
It's a quill and inkpot.
Are you sure about that?
Erm
I I can't see too well
in the dark.
I need to print something
off before class.
LAPTOP BEEPS
What?
Where's my essay?
Argh!
BELL RINGS
Ooh!
I-I'm sorry I'm late.
Essay? Um
It's kind of why I'm late.
I did it last night and
I saved it, I promise!
But then, this morning
I'll see you after class.
Did you get yours in?
Xiang, man, listen!
I know we lost Bot Battles,
but remember the conversation
about your type?
I found her, bro!
Carla, upper sixth with the
back off! I told you, I told you.
And listen, at first, she didn't
know who the fuck you were,
but I convinced her, I convinced her
to have a chat. You know why?
Cos I'm black excellence.
The Caldwell team handed it in
at the front desk shortly
after they won.
Said they "found it".
I'm sorry, Jaheim.

Yo, I'm busy. Leave a message.
