Argh! Argh!
HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY How
could that be a ghost?
The building isn't
even that old.
Get it together,
Stanley. Get it together.
Remember, you are Stan the man
with the master plan.
Come on.
Let's get some food, innit?
Said you were hungry.
All right, let me whip
us something, man.
You know, I'm a young
Ainsley Harriott, innit.
All right, check if they've
got any eggs in there.
And salmon as well.
Chardonnay, caviar.
What we got?
Fishcakes. Sorry, bruv.
Fishcake? Mm-hm. Hundred bag
education for a fishcake, bro?
Don't ask me. I'm not paying.
I'm cutting, bro.
They are onto me, man.
Ain't taking it to
court either, no way.
You're on bail? Yeah.
It's a bit tecky.
Yeah, it's long.
I've just got to
..lay low elsewhere, you get me?
Obviously, man ain't
working at the moment, so
..I ain't going to be able to
run Caleb that bread no more.
Leave Caleb to me, man.
Now's not the time to be
warring with Caleb, you know.
He'll be fine.
Bruv, if man's not
there supporting him,
do you want him
chilling on the block?
You can't let that happen.
DOOR OPENS H—hello?
OK, that is our cue. Let's go.
Hello? Who's that?
MUSIC: Repeat, by Sways
It's quite a grainy image, so
it's pretty hard to see who
those two reprobates even are,
but I can ask around for you.
We've had the video sent
off for further analysis.
Great. Well, please keep me
posted with your investigation
and do let me know if
I can be of any help.
Hmm.
SNORING
Yo.
It won't be long. Promise.
Just a few days.
HE GROANS
Oh, God. All right.
Yes!
Stay put, man. Do
not leave this room.
What's she got? Nothing yet,
which is why we really need to get
that bitch gone before she comes out
with the receipts. OK, don't worry.
OK? I got you.
You've got me in a whole
lot of trouble. Listen.
This next plan,
it needs to work.
OK. Anarchism has much to offer
the black liberation movement,
IF we are bold enough to
seize it. Who said that?
You know full well it was
Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin, girl.
Oh, OK.
And
..look how many people are coming
to the ACS meeting at lunchtime.
I didn't I didn't know
there was an ACS today.
Yeah. Yeah, I texted you.
There, you see. Four-five-two,
that's you, right?
Hm-mm, that is not me.
Oh.
It must be the British
numbers, you know.
Same numeral system as the US.
Anyways, you need to be there. OK?
Of course. Yeah? We're going to
rally the troops. Mm-mm. Right?
And we're going to
get that bitch
TOGETHER: gone.
I know, I know. Right, so see
you at lunch? At lunch. Oh, wait.
And bring ideas, OK? Of course.
I'll get more people. Mm.
It's a movement!
It's a movement.
It's a movement It's a what?
It's a movement It's a what?
It's a, it's a,
it's a movement. ♪
I'll see you. In
a bit, in a bit.
Why don't you just text Dilton
hi? I can't just say hi.
I bailed on him.
No explanation, nothing.
What's going on?
Omar is struggling
to text Dilton.
How he stepped further away
from dick is beyond me.
Look, it's not that
simple, right? Not after
Look, you've got to keep this
proper hush-hush, all right?
But the Raisinettes, they have
this, like, wall of secrets
and Dilton is up there.
Oh, sorry. At the
same time? Yeah.
G'wan, Dilton! Oh, my days.
HE SIGHS Right, you
know what you do?
Message him, yeah? Be like,
"What you saying? When we
going to link up and paint
"paint with our dicks?"
Toby, why you got
to be so crass?
Crass? Yes.
How? This is my cue.
I'm crass?
Later.
PHONE VIBRATES
I just don't think
it's that deep.
Look, I don't care how
many people he's been with,
but how do I compete with
all of his experience?
Pass me your phone.
You've got to be like,
"Hey, Dilton, I am truly humbled
"by your experience
"and I was thinking maybe
you could teach me"
No, he doesn't need
to know I'm a loser.
Virgins aren't losers, Omar.
GIGGLING
PHONE VIBRATES
Anyways, why in the bloodclart
is Rupert messaging you?
He wanted me to bring
him his homework.
Come again?
Obviously, I said no.
He bullied you!
Promise me you won't
go to his yard.
I just want to check if he's OK.
Argh! Leah, you're hurting me!
Promise me, then. OK,
OK. Fine, fine, fine.
I promise.
Why don't I believe you?
What are you even
doing here anyway?
You're not even in this class.
Dear Black Jesus, hook a
brother up with a tasty hookup.
I swear, I'm churching
every Sunday.
Toby!
My G! Obviously,
not every Sunday.
My man.
Devonye.
Nice to meet you. Lovely
to meet you, Devonye.
Uh, how may I help?
Are you free now?
For you? Always.
That's what I like to
hear. OK, let's go.
So, I hear you're the
man with all the ideas.
Leah! You're here. Hey.
What's going on?
OK, so we have the dopest
idea for the next event.
Sick, so do I.
Basically, this is my
Let me get it up.
My Fuck Carol speech.
It's not really needed cos
we have the wheels in motion.
It's called
Sleepover For Change.
OK. Is it, um
It was Toby's idea.
Toby, you've joined ACS.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I wonder why.
Tell her your idea.
Yeah, yeah. OK. OK.
It's a sleepover. Hm-mm.
Everyone will rock up
in their jimmy-jammies.
We'll ask for a small donation,
then we'll put on a film.
Something like, uh, 12 Years A
Slave or something like that.
Basically, a film that makes
white people feel bad for being
themselves. Yeah. So,
a bunch of upper years
in a dark room,
pillows, blankets.
I don't know, it sounds like
a orgy to me. Yeah, but
..it's for charity, innit?
SHE GASPS We should do
it in the school yurt.
Yeah. Guys, it is
lit, but one question.
What has this got to do
with our scholarships?
To entertain, to engage.
Artists are the
gatekeepers of truth.
We are civilization's anchor.
We are the compass for
humanity's conscience. Mm.
Again, who? Oh, thank you.
It was Paul Robeson,
you funny girl.
You knew that, didn't
you? Yeah, 'course.
OK. Let's get to work.
OK, I completely
underestimated her.
I love her.
So, Mr Adebayo If this
is about the medical room,
I have no idea about it. I
actually even saw it on
I-I know, Mistress.
I know this stuff. I do.
I-I-I think it's just
the pressure and I panic.
I don't think it's beneficial for
you or the school to prolong this
..very painful experience,
wouldn't you agree?
Yes, Mistress.
Tried to contact your parents.
I don't seem to have their
current number on file.
It's missing a
dialling code. Ah.
Plus
..two
..three
..four.
I wasn't aware your
family were living abroad.
My dad's business is
in Lagos, and here
..but mostly there. Global.
It does beg the question why you're
on a fully funded scholarship
when he seems to
be doing so well.
Though I suppose it would
be unfair of me not to take
these panic attacks
of yours into account.
If I can see a steady
improvement in your work,
I see no reason why you have
to leave immediately. Really?!
A lot to improve on.
History, maths
I'll improve on all
of them, I promise.
You've also signed up
for the drama society.
Eeee Yeah, yeah.
Er, but work is more
important, so I can No.
I think drama would
be beneficial for you.
I trust you'll be
performing at the showcase.
Showcase?
I mean, yeah, the showcase!
Great. Of course.
And do not throw away
this second chance.
Is that clear? Yes, Mistress.
Well
Thank you.
DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
Hello. Can I speak
with Mr Adebayo?
INTERCOM: Well, are you going to
come in or are you just going to
stand there with your mouth open
like you're waiting for a dick to
Wait, wait, I'm sorry.
Look, come in
..please. The door's open.
MUSIC: Local X Global,
by Matthew James
I swear this job
said formal wear.
Yeah, what, this ain't formal?
If you say so.
Maybe Xiang's got
something you can wear.
There it is. Controller's in
the drawer. Biscuits are there.
They're Xiang's. Do whatever
with them, I don't mind.
Xiang's, but it don't matter?
You know he's going to hate me
even more if I take his stuff.
Please, don't move,
right, or I'm fucked.
Love, bro. Yeah?
Love. Thank you.
I'll be back soon.
DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
HE SIGHS
Carol says that
pottery is therapeutic.
You should try it.
It's very relaxing.
Just quickly, er
..get a little wiggle
on it. There you go.
Some length to it.
Give it a go.
Is is therapy
..therapeutic stuff
what you need?
How are you?
So, has Dilton put
it up your arse yet?
I haven't seen you for weeks and
that's the first thing you ask me?
Take that as a no then.
What's the issue?
It's complicated.
Sounds like you're
making it complicated.
Then why am I here?
If it's relationship
advice, I don't need it.
Oh, my God, look, I
just needed homework.
OK? But Florence didn't want to
bring it and I haven't really
been speaking to Spencer
or Bishop, so, yeah.
Your stuff's still in our dorm.
I'm guessing you're coming back.
Look, I've not been
feeling my best.
So, Carol thought it'd be
good if I had a little break.
Appearance is everything.
Where's your bathroom?
You'll find it.
Just wank him off!
It's not that hard.
KNOCKING AT DOOR
I've come to apologise.
I'm not usually
that kind of kid.
We came for a laugh
and I got carried away.
What I said was
out of order and
..I'm sorry. Really.
Noted. Anything else?
I was also wondering if
..maybe I could
..rejoin Drama Society?
I'm not in the habit of teaching
obnoxious little pricks.
Please. I
..I'm begging you.
I was a prick.
I know. And I'm
so, so, so sorry.
But I have been
fucking up like crazy
and I've been given
another chance.
And I need this.
Please.
So, you need me?
This will be fun.
Do you have a nail
brush or something?
I can't get this
out of my nails.
What did you do?
How'd you get into my phone?
Easy. It's your birthday.
The fact I remembered, shows how
strong our friendship is, right?
What did you text him?
Just trust me, it'll work.
I mean it when I say it, don't
ever fucking contact me again.
Oooh!
HE SIGHS
Yes! Woo!
Can I help you?
Oh, hi. I'm I'm Jaheim
Marsham, I'm working the
Oh! Jaheim Marsham.
Yes. Hello, hello.
Thank you very much for
following the uniform brief.
Very dapper, very
dapper. Thank you.
Oh? Uh, oh, sorry, um
I'm Alan,
both host and protagonist of
this dreadfully garish birthday.
Well, happy birthday.
Oh, it's not a big birthday.
It's a birthday, nonetheless.
Um, now, some people call
me a perfectionist, I'm not.
You'll be working the cloakroom.
Have you worked a cloakroom before?
No. No?! I can learn
fast. I promise, I'm
Coats.
There are two tokens.
One token stays on the hanger.
The corresponding token
goes to the owner.
Got you.
Shall we practise?
OK. Yeah, sure.
May I? Yeah. Um sorry.
Here you go.
I do hope they have a cloakroom.
Good evening. Hello. Hi.
Here, let me take that.
Thank you.
Um, pop this on here.
Number eight, was it? I think
it was number eight. Yes.
There you go. There you are.
I don't suppose we have
time to do it again.
You can just run it through
a few times yourself.
Cool. Yeah.
Um, sorry to be like this,
but pay, when do we get paid?
End of the evening. But I really
need you to focus on the coats!
Jaheim?
Bea! Oh, my Um,
sorry, I just, um
Sorry, I didn't expect
to see you here.
Yeah. Quite quite the outfit.
Uh, yeah. I do try
sometimes, don't I?
Um, you work here?
Uh, yeah.
Now I feel underdressed.
My bad. Um
..you do this often
or is it just a?
Oh, no, it's, like,
a fairly new thing.
Yeah. Sorry, I didn't
know. I wouldn't have
No, no, it's not something
that I shout from the rooftops.
"It girl has a part-time job."
Yeah. Understandable. Yeah.
First guest! Places,
places, big smiles.
Just less teeth.
Much less teeth.
Well, some teeth. Come on.
Just smile like a normal person!
You know, relax!
We're working, but it's a party.
Alan!
SHOUTS: Coming!
SINGSONG: Coming!
There we are.
BEA LAUGHS
Oooh! Oh, dear. Right, I'm
going to leave you to it. Yeah.
You do you.
APPLAUSE That
was great. Great.
When I said, "Pick a
monologue," I meant from a play,
not Cruel Intentions.
OK. Who's next?
Over here! Here, Miss!
Let's welcome Femi to the stage.
I don't have a speech. Why not?
Uh, I-I was, um
Oh, of course.
Because you were acting like a
cock ring last time you were here.
From one of my first plays.
I was reading a lot of
in-your-face theatre at the time.
Absolutely panned by the
critics, but I still love it.
Page one.
When you're ready.
I see him looking at me,
desperate to take me,
desperate to put
himself inside of me.
It's actually the character's
first sexual experience,
so she should
sound more excited,
Hmm.
Desperate, desperate,
desperate to be all over me.
Grab my tits and
LAUGHTER ..shower
his liquid love
all over me.
She's actually turning
herself on as she speaks.
HE MOANS
LAUGHTER
I imagine his seed is silky
HE MOANS
..soft, warm to the touch.
Maybe add some
visuals to the words.
Hmm.
HE GROANS
Soft, warm to the touch.
OK.
That was quite poor.
I'd like you to work on that.
OK, who's next?
Would you like to come up here?
Thank you. Thanks, Miss.
Did you enjoy that? Mm
..not really. Quite humiliating.
But I guess that was the point.
It's not nice being embarrassed
in front of everyone, is it? No.
I was thinking
..if I could do something different
for the showcase? Oh, don't worry.
I'm not going to
force you to do that.
I want to. Like, I need to.
No offence, Femi, genuinely,
but you are an awful actor.
I'm willing to put in the work.
Please, Miss
..Carol wants it.
Do you even know what the
showcase is for? Yeah.
It's so Headmistress can show
the board how amazing she is.
All the seats will be filled with
students, parents, board members.
It's a big deal.
And if it goes wrong,
she will have your balls.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah. I'm up for it.
Well if you look
bad, I look bad,
so let's find you
something more appropriate.
Come back tomorrow and
we'll find one and practise.
Argh, tomorrow is
the sleepover
..which I won't be
going to, obviously.
See you later, Miss.
PHONE VIBRATES
WHISPERS: Yo.
Bro, what's going on?
Bro, I need to use the toilet,
but man can't leave the room, bro.
You know I can't afford
to get kicked out. Please.
Jaheim! Yo. Sorry, bro,
I need to go, actually.
Off the phone, Marsham!
Sorry
I hate you, you dickhead.
Here, I stole you
this from the kitchen.
Oh, yeah? What is it?
Cannoli. Oh, very cheesy.
HE WRETCHES Oh,
that is terrible!
Oh, my God. That is terrible.
Right, so you
don't like cannoli.
I'll add that to my list of
things that I know about you. Hmm.
Am I that bad? Yeah,
no, you are that bad.
Well, I think you're digging
for something that ain't there.
Right? Hmm. Yeah, what
you see is what you get.
I actually think you've
got more to you than that,
but it's your call if you
want to share it, so
Well, I do have one
question, though. Mm-hm.
How are you going
to explain that?
What? Look.
Oh, shi
Er Um
..get the water, get the water.
Here, here, here.
OK, here's some napkins.
Oh, no, stop, stop!
You're making it worse,
you're making it worse. How?!
I'm cleaning it up. No, stop.
Stop it.
You ain't going to
do nothing better.
Aargh! Eurgh! What's going on?
I'm just trying to make it
better! HE CLEARS HIS THROA
The guy showed me
how to take coats
and wasn't even impressed
by the way I did it.
At least you didn't get shown
how to properly tie up a bin bag.
Wait, what? I was really shit.
How do you not know how
to tie up a bin bag?
I had a cleaner, growing up.
We actually had
two Of course!
..just in case one of
them got sick. Mm-hm.
SHE GROANS Well, um, I'm sorry
for getting you fired.
No, no. It's all right.
It was never going to, like,
make up the school fees.
It was just a bit
of pocket money.
Keeping up appearances.
Expensive being popular.
You going to be all right?
Oh, no, I'm screwed.
Where are my manners?
Would you like a backie?
Go on.
You're cool, you're
cool. I got you.
I told you. Oh, my God.
You need to stop doubting me.
What did I tell you?
Uh-huh. Here we go.
To St Gilbert's we go!
How much do I owe you?
On the house. Mm.
You did get me fired, so I guess
that's the least that you can do.
Well, if you ever need
another one, let me know.
Oh, no, I think this should be
the last one, for obvious reasons,
but thanks.
See ya.

Whoa, whoa!
Mr Palmer-Grace, Mrs Carlton
said you missed class.
Oh, yeah.
I just I just
felt really bad.
Where were you?
Rupert asked me to
drop some homework off
and I stayed more than needed,
but not for long. It's just
..I think he needs a friend.
Rupert is not your concern.
It's just
..I know about
the pottery thing.
Well, it's just dicks, Mistress.
I'm not saying I
know the whole thing,
but being in that house alone,
I don't think it's good for him.
You were not granted permission
to leave school grounds.
I won't even mention
going to MY house.
You will attend
detention this evening,
as well as catch up on
the work you missed.
Am I clear?
Am I clear?
Yes, Mistress.
This is hot.
Yeah, it's decent still.
What you so stiff
for, man? Be excited!
Be excited! All right,
man, all right. Come, man.
Lead the way, innit.
Hey. Oh, hey, um
..sorry. Er, I can move, sorry.
No, no, no. It's fine.
There's, um, no space in here.
Are you sure?
No, I'm pretty sure there's
space at the back, right?
Not that I can see, you know.
No, no, are you sure there's
no space at the back, Toby?
Nope. OK.
What? What, are you lot
not chopping no more?
I'm joking, I know
you're not chopping.
I'm just enjoying this
awkwardness, you know.
Yeah, you enjoy it.
Anyway, I'll go
get some popcorn.
Mm-hm.
Do you want some?
Nope. Don't say yes.
What an event,
right? Yeah. I know.
I got a space over there
for us, if you want to?
Oh, no, I was thinking I would
sleep next to the hockey girls.
OK. Mm.
But why?
You know that I'm
into girls, right?
You're into girls.
I did know that.
Devonye! Hey!
She's into girls.

PHONE VIBRATES
Er sir? What?
Any chance we can finish early?
CHUCKLING: Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah. No problem at all.
When you're done.
How are you feeling?
I'm fine.
You always look so
handsome in your uniform.
I know a lot has been going on.
The divorce, your
father - or lack of.
And it was my suggestion that you
stayed at home till you felt better.
But maybe being with
your friends might help.
And you being headmistress?
I know it's hard for
you and your brother,
but I'm doing good things
at St Gilbert's. Right.
Exciting things are happening,
happening for you both.
Trust me, it will be worth it.
GRAHAM, ON PHONE:
Femi-demi-ding-dong! Where are you?
So many skimpy jim-jams.
Oh, um, I downed a
half a bottle of vodka
and now I'm steaming.
HE RETCHES
Lightweight! Loser!
Yeah, I've got to sleep it off.
Make sure you send me
all the frisky pics.
Of course, baby! We'll
send all of them, darling.
Got some paracetamol in my bag.
I'm fine. Thank you.
Do you want to take
it from the top?
Yeah.
Er
Aye, that I had not
done a thousand more.
Even now I curse the day,
and yet I think few come
within the compass of my curse.
What? Is it shit? Am I shit?
No, nothing.
I'm smiling.
It's really good. Keep going.
Wherein I did not
some notorious ill
as kill a man or else
..devise the his Hmm.
Er, I feel like I want to move
towards the audience here.
Maybe talk to them directly?
See what it feels like.
Wherein I did not some
notorious ill as kill a man
or else devise his death.
Toby, I need you.
Spring Ball tickets
aren't selling like this.
Yeah, well, not everyone's
Toby. I got that sauce.
Yeah. And I need the sauce.
You need to join
the social committee
Pass. Please.
It needs to be bigger and
better than last year.
Don't know why
you're asking him.
He might know how
to get a big act.
We've already got one.
Felix, what's the
name of the band?
Clean Bandit.
Nobody knows who they are.
Yeah, exactly.
And, er, in my opinion,
nobody wants some boring-arse
skinny-jean-arse wearing band.
Toby is right.
I want to shake ass.
Well, Felix knows the Clean
Bandits personally and can get them
at an affordable price.
Thank you, by the way.
You're so sweet.
We could be. Mm.
What's the budget?
More than enough. More
than enough for who?
One of my London connects.
Who's your connect? Adele?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Not Adele.
I can't shake ass to
Adele, huh? Obviously.
Why are we entertaining this?
Fam, what about Unknown T?
He's from London, right?
I love him. He wishes.
Unknown T? Not a problem.
What? Yeah, me and
Unknown T go way back.
His mum used to invite
me around for dinner.
I knew you had the sauce.
Welcome to the committee.
Fair enough, fam.
If you think I'm
impressed, I'm not.
Well, not everything's
about you, Abby.
Well, I know you're
bullshitting.
And I for one can't wait to
see your spectacular downfall.
Oooh.
Wow.
What a turnout.
Tonight we've taken a
huge step together towards
a progressive future.
I'm proud of us all.
I think we've
collected, like, £500.
These whites be guilting.
OK, sorry, I'm not
really one for speeches,
so I wrote a poem instead.
WHISPERED: Jesus Christ.
Something I was going to
save for the showcase,
but thought I'd give you
a little sneak preview.
Mother, May I.
Mother, may I
break these chains that bind,
Erase the hate,
The walls that blind?
Mother, may I dream
Without the fear, embrace
the love and hold it near?
Mother, speak the
truths long concealed.
Heal the wounds, let
scars be revealed.
WHISPERED: Is it just me,
or do you find this, like,
super, super cringe. Sssh!
Mother, may I
Be who I want to be
See who I want to
see WHISPERED: What?
..give what I want to
Mm. Mm-mm give.
Mother, may I cry
SHE GIGGLES
..for a cry?
Mother, may I?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
What did you think? That
was amazing. I filmed it.
We can put it on the Just
Giving page. Excellent.
I have it all planned.
Mm-hm. Yeah. Cool.
WHISPERS: Why did you
end things with him
since you're clearly
still obsessed?
I'm not obsessed.
Babe I'm not!
It was just so hard
to get a read on him.
He's so bloody hard to talk to.
LAUGHTER Yeah, it seems so.
So what was all that
about with Xiang?
Nothing. You promised
you'd tell me.
All right. Well, I may or may
not have had someone over that
I shouldn't have.
SHE GASPS
I know. He told me.
I convinced him not to
say anything to Stanley.
It'd be pointless, as he'd be
gone by the time he got back.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
PHONE BEEPS
WHISPERS: Phones on
silent. These people!
Sorry.
Give me give me a second.
PHONE LINE RINGS
What's up?
Your little brother
hasn't come home.
Why didn't you tell me?
And worry you for what?
Yeah, he's, um he's probably
at a friend's house. Exactly!
Look, don't worry about us.
Go to your bed.
PHONE LINE RINGS This is
Caleb. Leave a message.
Caleb if I have to come
to London to find you, bro,
I swear down
Just just go home
and call me back. Yeah?
