Boarders (2024) s01e06 Episode Script

As you're aware,
the luncheon fundraiser
is taking place this afternoon.
Our benefactors, who invest
a great deal of interest
in St Gilbert's, will be attending.
It's very important that
things run smoothly.
What's going on?
St Gilbert's is on lockdown.
Order of the King.
Give me that mobile phone.
Thank you. Please don't lose this!
This is the bag for
all your mobile phones, tablets
and any other devices
that you use for social media.
And this is the amnesty bag for
all your alcohol, all your drugs,
all your non-prescribed medicines
and glues.
In your pocket, son.
I'll have them all, please
and thank you.
What does that have to do with me?
You need to show them
that their time
and interest have been well spent.
One of your duties as the new
head boy.
Head boy? What the f?
What happened to Felix?
Mr Watlington-Geese was
asked to step down
after his behaviour
at the Carruthers Challenge.
Argh! You shot me in the eye!
LAUGHS
Why me?
I can't think of a better
person for the role.
Right. It's just, you know, after
the whole police and Omar thing,
the timing's a bitweird, right?
You don't have to accept it.
What would I have to do in return?
Aside from being a model student
and the usual day-to-day duties
of the head boy, it is a tradition
for the holder of the position
to give the Latin address
at the luncheon this afternoon.
Latin? As in the language?
Mm. I know the timescale is tight
..but I think you are
up to the challenge.
And it's the one day our sponsors
come together.
And what do I get from it?
Prestige. A chance to show
all the extremely influential people
in attendance that you
have become head boy
at one of the most distinguished
schools in the country.
A chance to show those that pay
for you, those that doubted you
..what a success it's been
and that they would be lucky to have
someone like you in their circle.
Benefactors, parents, the board.
The board? So Carol will be there?
Would you like her not to be?
Yeah.
Done.
There are big changes
happening at St Gilbert's.
This is an outrage.
You know you can't come in this room
and turn everything upside-down!
Just doing my job, son.
And I'll tell you something -
you have a serious problem.
I'm a connoisseur, darling.
Oh, hang on a minute,
hang on a minute.
There's something you're
not telling me. There's nothing.
There's something. There's got to be
something. There's nothing at all.
You're panicking.
I can see it in your eyes, Parmesan.
Oh! Oh, the lampshade!
It's the lampshade!
No, no, no, there's nothing there.
Oh! Oh! Stop, stop!
Oh-ho-ho! Bingo!
Not my 1963! Stanley, Stanley,
Stanley, Stanley! Woo!
Aha! What a catch!
Stanley, please, not my 1963!
Stanley!
It's all right.
Stanley!
I'll get it back! Hey, hey
DOOR BANGS SHU
That's my one.
Dickhead.
SIGHS
So, this will be your office,
which you will share
with Miss Chaplin-Jones.
The dress code for the luncheon
is formal.
Now, Gus has made me aware
that none of you have such items,
so I've sourced a small amount
of money for you all
to purchase something suitable.
I trust you will
do that in your free period.
Congratulations, Mr Marsham.
Thank you, sir.
PHONE RINGS
I got it.
Hello?
What are you doing out of school?
Hey! Why? You in trouble?
Give me that phone.
Hello?
Hello, Grandma.
What's the matter? What you done?
You in trouble?
That's what I just said!
Get your bag and go along to school!
All right!
What's wrong?
I haven't done anything.
I just called to say, erm
..I got head boy.
Grandma?
Nuh betta mess it up.
Uh, thank you, Grandma.
I'm serious, Jaheim! This is big.
Big for you,
big for your lickle brother. Yeah.
For him to see how far you've come,
to see where he can get to.
I know.
I'm very proud of you.
Make the best of this opportunity.
You hear?
Yeah, I hear you, Grandma.
All right, cool.
Thank you. Bye. Bye.
What, so you're listening
to my conversations now, are you?
It's cute. You're a softie.
You are head boy, Jaheim! Very cool.
Unlike this shop.
These clothes are actually whacked.
SCOFFS
Oh. Excuse me.
Have you got this in a 38?
Thank you so much.
All right. I'll go and check for
you. Thank you. Thank you.
Yep, guys, let's wrap it up.
Let's go to the next shop.
We can't. It's not cash,
it's vouchers.
This guestlist is insane.
Oh, yeah, Bernard said
I had to memorise them.
Apparently, he's going
to introduce me or something.
Jaheim!
CHUCKLES
You've got to bring me in.
This guy here, Lonnie Calerflit,
he runs CG&T Tech.
They have offices
all over the world.
This guy's always talking
about work and that.
Yeah, that's what we're here for.
Think bigger.
CHUCKLES
Right, come on, we'll all wear
matching suits!
Why's everything a joke to you?
We barely got out of your bullshit
with the drugs.
Can you act like you've got
sense for one day?
OK, all right, cool.
Chill out, all right?
I'll bring you in, yeah?
You know why?
We got the power now.
THEY CHUCKLE
Yes, oga. All right, all right.
Chill out, chill out,
chill out, chill out.
OK, OK.
LOUD CLINKING
What?
You do realise by accepting
head boy
you're becoming complicit
in everything that's gone on?
Look, I think Jaheim being
head boy's a good thing.
For all of us.
And we're fine. Honestly, Leah.
Especially me.
Leah, why are you making this
a thing?
Nobody ended up in a prison cell.
Wait, so that makes it OK?
OK, then, so what's the alt?
Please. The only reason you accepted
that Croc Charm Jibbitz thing
is because you get days off
and do less work.
And what do we have to do in return?
What, we go to that event
and tap-dance for Carol?
She's not coming.
Yeah.
He asked me if I wanted her there,
I said no.
That's the power that this little
Croc Charm Jibbitz thing has.
That's what having
a seat at the table means.
But you wouldn't know that,
would you?
But if you're uncomfortable,
maybe you shouldn't come.
Oh, I'm coming.
What's that supposed to mean?
Hiya. Do you have something
that shows a little more thigh?
Erm Thank you.
Give me a moment.
Hello?
Hi.
What you doing?
Work.
OhI'm so horny.
Mmlittle quickie?
I don't have time. Oh, come on,
that's why it's called a quickie.
Not in here. All right. Well, do you
want to come round to mine later?
Won't Omar be there?
I'll kick him out.
Don't do that.
You've never minded before.
Well, it was different before.
What do you mean?
You are all everyone's
talking about.
I've defended so much of
the messed-up shit you've done,
but what you did to Omar -
it's embarrassing for me.
Look, Omar and I,
we're cool, honestly.
We're back to farting on each
other's beds again, like old times.
All right?
I'm sorry, all right?
I really am, OK?
Come here.
KNOCK ON DOOR
PHONE BUZZES
BUZZING CONTINUES
Shit.
LAUGHS QUIETLY
Care to share the joke?
Nah, it's just
..it was meant to be a one-time
thing. Now look at us.
I had to sneak past two cameras and
a housemaster just to get in here.
Yeah.
Well, I have hockey practice, so
Magnus.
He's an ex.
H-He's texting me.
I-I'm not texting him.
Thought it was important for you
to know that.
Why?
Just didn't want you to think
I was seeing anyone else.
But if you're seeing anyone else,
then that's
..cool.
Cool.
I ain't seeing anyone else.
Cool. Soneither of us
are seeing anyone else.
So
..does that, like
..make us, like, a
..thing?
Iguess that makes us
..a thing.
Seriously, I have hockey practice.
SUCKS TEETH
Bloodclaat!
Money.
SUCKS TEETH
Ugh.
I heard about Miss Goodlow
and your connections to
influential people in Russia.
"Oh, she's Russian, her dad drives a
big black car - she must be mafia."
You shouldn't believe
everything you're told.
Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
So if it's not true,
why don't you correct people?
Fear gets results.
I guess we can both play people's
perceptions of us to our advantage.
Goodbye, Toby.
Mr Calerflit, lovely to meet you.
I understand recently you opened
a site inBeijing.
How's that going?
LAUGHS FALSELY
That's a good one, sir!
Femi!
Hi, darling, take a sip of this!
Come here, baby!
Darling!
Have a sip of this.
Oh, my God!
Yeah, yeah?
What the hell is it?!
Moonshine, baby.
Baby, moonshine, hooch.
Where did you get it from?
Made it in the science lab, baby.
Oh, baby, baby, baby! Baby, baby!
Doesn't that shit
take weeks to make?
That's what the science lab
was for, baby.
FEMI LAUGHS
You're all going to die.
What else were we going to do?
You know, Master took
everything from us, literally.
Everything. Mate, for all
that is holy,
stop banging on about your
1960 whatever.
Right. You, drink, now.
I can't.
It's OK. Aw No, I
Oh, it's OK!
THEY BABBLE AND COO
Baby, look, look, look -
one little, baby, tiny sip,
and then you can go back to your
pretty, pretty little pink
flash cards. Ooh! No
SIGHS
All right.
SPUTTERS
THEY LAUGH
FEMI COUGHS
Oh!
Oh, bye-bye, liver!
Hey, Abby.
You should've seen the dead place
they took us to go shopping.
Oh, my God.
What's this?
It's a letter.
Really?
Because it reads like a speech.
"Mr Ashford stands before us
claiming himself to be
"a supporter of a more diverse
and progressive St Gilbert's.
"However, he has continued
to allow racism
"and racists to permeate through
the very fabric of this school,
"showing himself to not only be
incompetent, but a liar.
"He"
Are you going to read this
at the event?
Look, you wouldn't understand,
so it's OK.
Oh, don't patronise me! Leah.
I'm just as hurt by this as you are,
but this could cost my dad his job -
and if he's gone, I'm gone too.
You can just get
another scholarship. What?!
Like one of yours?
You know this will fuck you too.
And not just you,
possibly all of you.
You don't care.
Cos it's all about you, Leah.
As long as your integrity is intact.
Auro pavi Fiat terra caelum stet
Oh, man.
Flippin' hell, man.
SHUTTER CLICKS
LAUGHS
This guy, bruv.
KNOCK ON DOOR
Come in.
Wow. Erm
Erm
You look nice.
Why have I been summoned?
I wanted to see you, innit?
You made a Year 7 come to my door
because you wanted to see me?
I'm sorry.
The way I spoke to you in London,
I shouldn't have done that, so
I'm sorry too.
I tend to say the wrong thing.
Yeah, I know.
Your badge is on wrong.
Is it? Mm. Don't lie to me.
No, no! It's on the wrong side.
OK. It's incredibly embarrassing.
Erm..
How do you take this off?
It's just a badge. Let me.
OK.
DOOR OPENS
What's going on here?
I was just congratulating
the new hard boy
Sorry. Sorry, head boy.
Course you were.
So, are you coming with Abby and I,
or are you stepping out together?
I thought Abby was going with Leah.
They've fallen out. Wait. Why?
Apparently, Leah's going to drop
some truth bombs at the event.
God knows what that means.
Quite frankly, I'm tired
of their relationship.
Right. Let's go. Erm
See you there?
Erm, yeah. Yeah.
FLUTE MUSIC AND CHATTER
Why do all of my students
have faces like smacked arses?
Well, maybe because you
confiscated their smart devices
and their access to the internet.
Not to mention
the raid on their dorms.
They're saying
you're losing control.
Bernard the Tyrant. Yep.
Never good news with you two, is it?
Well, everyone's made the connection
that it's to do with
the incident with Omar.
Like, you should've dealt with it
ages ago, like we told you to.
It's too late for
would've, could've, should've.
You look fantastic.
The word prick
has been thrown around.
Well, Julius Monroe, dressed
as a prick 1974, he now runs
Runs one of the biggest
pharmaceutical
and biotechnology companies
in Europe.
And that is Lonnie Calerflit.
Dressed like prick in '71
and runs CG&T Tech, employs
6,000 people across five sites
across the world,
and he's your biggest donor.
And I hear
he gives out internships here.
You'd like to meet him?
I think we all would, yeah.
All right.
Preeya, can you round up
Toby, Femi, Omar and Leah, please?
I'd like to introduce them
to Mr Calerflit.
Maybe notMaybe not Leah.
Why not? She's
..not around today.
She's here, she just
Forget what I just said.
Listen, erm, this is
an important day for all of us,
but especially for you, Jaheim.
And I just want you to shine.
OK, yeah.
So, should Leah be at this event?
Erm
..m-maybe not.
Woohoo! Wow.
You look stunning.
I look like old lady wallpaper,
but thanks. I'll take it.
How are you? Depends.
What do you want?
Oh, it's nothing serious.
So, that's why Stanley's
standing by? Oh.
We understand you wanted to
raise a couple of concerns today.
So, I was just thinking,
why don't we look at an appropriate
time in the diary and we can
talk about the portrait, and then
The portrait? Preeya, you don't need
to worry about me.
I'll keep my mouth shut.
I understand
today's bigger than just me.
Look, I'm sure Abby told you
not to trust me or whatever,
but I'm literally just here
to support Jaheim.
Maybe even brok a 2-2 move
to some classical tunes.
I promise.
Actuallyit WAS Jaheim that told
us that you might say something.
I'm really sorry, Leah.
You know what?
I really wish I'd been as tenacious
as you when I was at school.
Excuse me.
Oh, Carol's here. Look.
Simon, how are we?
Lovely to see you.
Oh, how gorgeous to see you too.
I'm sorry to interrupt. Can I?
Thank you.
What are you doing here?
I'm seated chair.
Couldn't exactly have missed this.
How would that have looked?
I explicitly barred you
from this event.
Let's not allow tiny squabbles
to get in the way of
St Gilbert's success.
You know your scholarships
need these donations.
We're a team, Bernard.
Chelsea, be a dear.
Let's get one of the board
with the scholarship kids.
Be great for the newsletter,
don't you think?
Of course.
I thought you said
she wasn't coming.
Yeah, well, things change.
We don't want her here.
I know. I know.
Let's just get a photograph.
Chelsea, gather the others around.
My predicted grades are all A-stars,
so I'm incredibly hopeful.
Hello!
Wagwan, sugar dumpling.
Excuse us, Mrs Shelling.
Of course, dear.
Mrs Shelling.
What are you wearing?
Chill! It's formal!
Toby, it's a fundraiser.
Not just in aid of your scholarship,
but mine too.
Ah, allow me.
It's a long story.
Are you embarrassed of me?
No, I'm not embarrassed,
I just don't know why
you always have to be the joke.
So I'm a joke?
Maybe we should meet up later.
Well, maybe I'm busy later.
OK.
All right, cool. Cool.
This isn't even the quickest
break-up I've had anyway, so
Does anyone else feel like
absolute shit?
THEY SNIGGER
What's funny?
I just can't believe that you're
still actually drinking that crap.
Aren't we all drinking
the same thing?
THEY LAUGH
Bellends!
Mr Calerflit.
Let's go.
Cheese! I'll bring you an espresso!
Hiya. Hi.
Calerflit, Calerflit, Calerflit.
Where's Leah?
I don't know, bro, I don't know.
HE CHUCKLES
Femi, bro, you stink!
Sh, sh, sh, sh,
don't make it a thing.
Where's Calerflit?
I want to meet him. No, no, no.
Not like this, bro.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You promised you would bring me in.
Today's not just about you, Jaheim.
What?
Toby, come on, bro.
Do I look like I'm in the mood?
You couldn't pattern up
for one day, though?
You look like a joke.
Do you want me to go get Leah?
She's not coming
cos she's not allowed. Why?
Cos she's just not
on the same timing as us.
What do you mean?
Look, Bernard found out, yeah,
that she was going to tell
everybody about what's going on.
How'd he find out?
Listen, bro, our scholarships
would've been on the line.
So, you snitched on Leah?
No, I didn't fucking snitch on her,
all right?
I did what was needed.
SCOFFS
This head boy shit is getting
to your head.
Fucking snaky behaviour.
Whoa, watch your fucking tone
and don't touch me, bro. Don't say
watch my tone, who you talking to?
I'm talking to fucking you, bro!
Well, I'm not like everyone here,
you know -
I'll bang you in your face.
Go on, go on!
Look at you guys. It's great,
lovely!
Look how close you are for the
photo! Excellent!
B, how about we pop you in just
here, on this side of Toby there?
Excellent.
I thought you said she wasn't
coming. I did bro, I did. I
Let's just take this picture,
please, man.
Sorry. There we are.
Perfect, B, excellent.
Lovely smile.
B, yes, very nice.
Can I please stand somewhere else?
OK.
Perfect! Everybody say cheese!
GASPS
RETCHING
Oh, jeez!
I am sorry!
I'm not usually like this.
I think a few of them
have substance abuse problems.
I can see where Rupert gets it from,
cos clearly you're a cunt.
What the fuck did you just say?
Ungh!
Mummy!
Get up. You're embarrassing me.
Omar! Get off, man!
You said she wouldn't be here.
You lied. I didn't, all right?
I didn't.
Please. You have to trust me.
Jaheim, Jaheim
Yo, let me help you.
Nah, you're good.
Go chill with your weirdo bredren.
Bro, what?
I'm doing this for you!
You won't fucking appreciate it!
Ungrateful prick.
Wipe up the puke and then escort
everyone towards the stage.
SCOFFS
I'm going to make a short
Don't touch me.
I am going to make a short speech.
You will then follow
with your address.
Let's try and salvage what
we can of this utter shitshow.
Sir, I'm sorry, but no.
I have to go and find Omar and Femi.
And Toby.
And Leah.
I understand, Jaheim, I really do,
but there are certain duties
that come first.
To be quite frank, sir, I don't
give a I don't care any more.
OK. Let me put it this way.
If you don't perform, you go home -
and I don't mean your dorm,
I mean London.
Is that clear enough for you?
Sir, about my Armagn
Not another word out of you
about your 1963,
and I meant what I said, Jaheim.
Ahem. First of all, a warm welcome
to our honoured guests,
alumni, and friends of St Gilbert's.
And I would like to give you
a big thank you
for your continued support.
Your generosity has allowed us
not only to invest
in world-leading equipment
and buildings,
but also in the futures of bright
and often overlooked individuals,
one of whom I would like
to welcome onto the stage
to give our annual Latin address.
Our new head boy, Mr Jaheim Marsham.
APPLAUSE
Woo!
Erm, Mr Marsham?
THEY MOUTH
Oi! Cheddar's fucking lost it!
CLAMOUR OF VOICES
Come on! Come on!
There's erm
..n-nothing to worry about, folks,
just
..just tuck into your nibbles.
Well, play your bloody flute!
CLAMOUR
BANGING
Out of my way!
What the hell is going on?
Someone told Tramley where
the confiscation cupboard was.
Mr Tramley!
Stop acting like a petulant child
and step away
from that door immediately!
I said immediately!
OK, let me tell you something.
It's not us,
it's not the scholarships -
it's you, sir.
If you spent just a little bit more
time getting your shit together,
then we wouldn't be
all so bloody miserable!
Do you know what I'd still have?
I'd still have my nineteen-sixty-
fucking-three Armagnac!
Shut up.
I'll talk to the guests.
You try and keep this under control.
ALL SHOU
All right, you lot!
Those at the event,
get back there now,
and everyone else to your dorms!

You're not needy at all.

Oh, my God, it doesn't even matter,
I forgot about it already.
This is so amazing!
That was so crazy, it was sick!
I'm so proud of you!
We should kiss!
Yeah! Wait, huh? What?
Erm, actually, I don't know,
I don't know why I said that, sorry!
OK! I'm just excited!
Ugh
INDISTINC
Everyone thinks I'm a joke.
Me and you both, bro.
Who wears a tracksuit
to a fundraiser?
Bro, I sold my suit
to pay back Yelena.
Oh, Toby, no, no, no.
I was doing what you told me to.
Patterning up.
That doesn't add up.
We all got 150 for our suits.
Yeah, I sold it at a mark-up.
You act like a joke,
but you're definitely not one.
I think you're the smartest
person I know.
I'm jealous.
Femi, you just have to
apply yourself.
That's it. I wish it was that easy.
I stole Omar's essay.
Oh, yeah, I know.
So does Omar.
And he didn't say anything?
It's Omar.
Femi, you want my advice, yeah?
Wise up.
And I beg you, ditch those weird
old bredrens of yours.
Hey, Femi,
you know I love you, innit?
But apparently there's a madness
going off in the school.
Go, go, go, go. Yeah? I'll be fine.
Mate! What the heck
are you doing in here?
Why did you guys do that to me?
What are you talking about?
You're an absolute legend!
What? No. No, no, no. No.
Cheddar and Toes did a
similar thing to me last year
when we were in Rome.
Mixed Smirnoff with laxatives.
I shit my pants
queuing for the Colosseum.
It was fucking hilarious!
How's that hilarious?
You're not upset, are you?
I really needed that internship.
Mate, if you want an internship,
just say.
My uncle runs a tech firm.
I'll just get you one.
Just like that?
Yeah, course, mate!
You're a rah'scal!
I'm a rah'scal.
CHATTER AND WHOOPING
THEY LAUGH
Leah, blood, you stabbed up that
painting like it owed you
money or something.
Mm-hm, I had to.
Nah.
You must've had a field day.
There was a lot of unclaimed
stuff in that cupboard.
Ooh.
Man, I'm not on all of that.
Is it?
I'm not on that, bro.
Seriously.
Let's just say I've turned
over a new leaf.
We'll leave it at that.
Look.
I bring confiscated goods.
All right.
Look.
I know you're not going to believe
me,
but I did not lie about Carol,
OK?
I didn't mean to get you banned,
all right?
Look, and I know
I wanted to take it all, I thought
I could take what I wanted, and
..I couldn't, all right?
I wanted to try and help all of us,
but it just turned out to be
selfish, and I know that now.
Sorry. I-I
..I know I shouldn't have trusted
him.
I don't know why I did
in the first place.
So, yeah.
I said it.
Day dot.
Watch how you get
taken into that sunken place.
That shit really hurt, Jaheim.
I know.
I'm sorry. Honestly.
Well, boy, it come like backstabbing
and being selfish is the main ethos
of this fucking private school.
So, you're basically acing it,
innit?
CHUCKLES
Yeah, well, all that's done now.
I didn't play ball with Bernard,
so I am gone.
Boy, if you saw the way
she yinged up that picture.
You ain't the only one going home,
bro.
Facts.
Are you ready to go back home?
It's nuts.
Like, even after everything that
happened in this stupid place,
I'm going to miss it.
Is that crazy?
As messed up as this place is,
I think we all love it.
So, no,
I don't think that's crazy at all.
SNIFFLING
Hey, no, no, no.
None of that. Not on my watch.
Come on.
Come on. No need for that.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
It's cool.
# Now it's all over #
You want some too?
Yo, Jaheim, we still ain't heard
that little Latin jig
you were learning. Hey, hey!
You could do it right now!
You're going to think I'm a
dickhead.
Come on! I think you owe it to us,
Jaheim.
You definitely owe me.
Let's go, let's go,
let's go, let's go.
Shut up. I hate you!
THEY CHEER
Yeah!
All right, say nothing! Ooh!
ALL: Ooh!

All right, now.

THEY BELLOW

ALERT CHIMES
Hi there.
Thank you all for coming at such
short notice.
And, oh, lovely shirt you've
got on there, Brian.
Oh, I think
you're on mute there, Brian.
Everyone is, I hate chitter-chatter
on these things.
So, the luncheon.
Care to explain?
Of course.
As you are aware, there was
an incident at the school.
Of course we're aware.
We were caught in the middle of it.
We want to know what you plan
to do about it.
Disciplinary
proceedings are in order.
You can't expel everyone.
You of all people should know
how schools like St Gilbert's
are funded.
There were ringleaders.
Some whose actions were
more severe than others.
The Carruthers painting was
destroyed, Bernard.
Someone needs to take the fall.
We have CCTV footage.
If you could unmute Stanley,
please, Carol.
Hello there. Firstly, I agree,
that is a lovely shirt, Brian.
Right, I'll just share my screen
with you guys
It's fine.
I-I have it from another angle.
What's happening?
This is it.
Nothing to worry about, sir.
The files are just, erm
..deleting themselves.
Seems like you're running
out of options, Bernard.
I've got you, Leah.
And goodbye.
SAT NAV: You've arrived at your
destination.
"Fuck with the status quo."
KNOCK ON DOOR
Come in.
I guess you'll be wanting this back.
That's why you called me here, so
We're not in the habit of handing
the title to just anybody, you know.
So, if you are awarded a position,
be sure to know you deserve it.
You are going to go on to great
things, Mr Marsham.
Go.
Sir.
Thank you.

FEEDBACK
MRS GOODLOW CLEARS THROA
As you're aware,
after the events at the luncheon,
Master Ashford will not be with us,
pending an investigation.
In the interim, please welcome your
acting head,
Mrs Watlington-Geese.
GASPS AND MURMURS
Master Ashford, what a tragedy.
But please rest assured that we
are moving swiftly to have the
matter resolved.
In the meanwhile, although my
position here is not permanent,
there's no reason why we can't shake
things up a bit now, is there?
MURMURING
You've got yourself very comfy,
very quickly.
Might as well make the most of it,
innit?
Might not be here for long, so
Yeah, probably not.
Well, whilst you are here
and we've all got our phones back,
we should probably announce
you on the school socials.
Yeah, go on, then.
Your pin should be on the other
lapel.
Beatrix said it
was on the right way.
Well, she's wrong.
There you go.
Thanks.
Smile!
We look good together.
Guess so.
MUSIC: Black British by VV Brown
# It has been a mission for us
We have been so polarised
# Been so polarised
# Fighting for the liberation
just so we can live our lives
# We can live our lives
# Clock is ticking round and round
# And we're accustomed to the fight
Accustomed to the fight
# Navigating through the beautiful
and terrifying life
# Of black British
Black British, black British
# Sing it for the culture, yeah,
# I'm saying black British
Black British, black British
# Sing it for the struggle, yeah
# I'm saying Black British
Black British, black British. #
