Cardinal Burns (2012) s01e04 Episode Script

Episode 4

1 Ha! Whoo! Scientists be telling me the world is spinning, huh.
Yeah, I say it's spinning, out of control.
Yo, my name is Switch, I'm a spoken word poet, and this one is called Change The Channel.
Chhk! The other day, Mama, you came in the front room and took me by surprise.
I was watching The Notebook with Ryan Gosling with tears in my eyes.
But come on, Mum, do you really think I was crying at that? No, Mum, I think Ryan Gosling's crap.
Let me put it to you straight - I was watching the news this world we live in's a state.
Chhk! Carrier bags are destroying our earth.
Get a bag for life, Mum, can't you see life's worth? Chhk! Did you know that school kids are too fat for their clothes? Some of them can wear tracksuits to school so their titties don't show.
Bird flu, earthquakes, not enough grit when it snows.
China, landmines, and some guy's grown a massive marrow.
So, next time, Mum, when you see a tear in this eye, remember, it's about the news and the Government's lies.
It's not about Ryan Gosling and it never was.
I've seen The Notebook four times now.
I haven't cried once.
Channels changed.
Bitch! Chhk! They say that only fools rush in.
Well, tonight, this fool was rushing across town to watch a music gig.
I'd met a really cute guy called Nate, the lead singer in a hot new roots reggae band.
This fish was falling head over heels.
Hey.
That was amazing.
I, er, wrote that last song for you.
Hey, I don't know if you guys like food, but me and the Bumbaclart guys would love for you to join us at our table.
Yeah, we love food, yeah, that would be great.
What is the craziest thing you guys have ever done? Oh, my God! Yes, yes, good question.
Like, last summer, I experimented with my sexuality quite a lot.
Oh, my god, I shouldn't have said that.
Like, whenever I tell guys that I'm probably bi, One time, I brought a top and then I wore it out that night even though I knew I was going to take it back the next day.
And, did you? Yeah! Good.
So, what about you, Yumi? No.
Come on, Yumi.
If everyone else says, you have to say it, come on.
Come on.
Just tell us! OK Well, one time I had a four-year affair with Father's business partner.
Very passionate, very intense.
Oh, my god! But his wife found out, he was ostracised by local community, and he, er, shot himself, in the face.
Thank you.
Yeah, Bumbaclart, yeah.
Yumi, why did you say that?! It's the truth.
Every man who comes in your life either leaves the room or shoots themselves in the face.
Oh, sorry! You're a fanny blocker! Rachel, please! 'Next week, on Young Dreams.
' A butcher.
A baker.
And a candlestick maker.
I'm Jacob.
I'm Andrew.
And we're Target Blonde.
Breaking into the industry is really difficult.
Erm, but we're hoping that people really love our songs when they hear them.
Yeah, we live, we sleep, eat, breathe music, yeah.
Today we're meeting with Caterpillar Records, and really hoping that they like our demo.
Andrew.
Bill, Andrew, this is Richard Edwards.
Hi, there, nice to meet you.
Thanks for getting us in.
Thank you for, thank you for getting in.
How, how tall are you? Don't.
'I mean, you know,' OK, so what, we've got really long legs, but I'm not bothered by it.
Jacob's not bothered by it but everyone else seems bothered by it.
You know, on a day-to-day basis, like, I hardly even notice.
Argh, ah, argh! I've got cramp.
Cramp? Ah.
Come on, lift up.
Agh.
Lift your leg.
Oooh! That's our demo there.
Thank you.
Target Blonde.
Nice.
Would you like to, erm, can you sit down? Thank you.
Sorry, mate.
It's all right.
How do you even fit in a car? Do you take the seats out Who are your influences? Who are your influences? Our music is sort of Novelty.
No.
Shall we, erm, shall we listen to a few tracks? Yeah.
So, what do you think? It is just amazing how, erm How, how tall are you? Yeah? How tall are you? To be honest, we just want to know if you like our music.
It's er, er, I mean, I wasn't We just want a chance just to sort of Sort of looking for our big break.
Where do you buy your jeans? Oh, man.
Are your parents both giants? Are you brothers? Do you reckon you can help us out or not, like help set up a gig for us? Maybe I'm crazy, let's do it.
Great.
Cool.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you so much.
Nice to meet you, Jacob, Andrew.
You all right? Jacob.
All right.
OK.
All right.
I'm fine.
That'd be great, though.
We'll definitely be in touch.
Thank you so much.
OK, take care of yourself.
A result.
Finally I think people are gonna get a chance to hear our music and not just bang on about how tall we are.
How tall are you? Hello, Moses, where are you, mate? Do me a favour, pick me up a Snickers on your way back? Lovely.
Don't be long.
All right see you later, bye.
Oh, I'm starving.
I got those Virgin Galactic tickets in the post, didn't I? Oh, right, so what so they take you up into space, do they? Yeah.
Up on the moon and all that.
So, like, what was the flight like, then? It was all right.
I was stuck next to this fat American bloke, he started showing me pictures of all his kids and all that.
Well, I had no interest.
So, was old Branson up there, then? Oh, yeah, he was right up at the front.
He gets up, he starts making a speech, he's flicking his lion's mane about and everything.
He's like, thanks all for coming, and all that.
Then he starts telling us all these stories about all these birds he's got 'old of.
Filthy stories, you've never heard the like of, know what I mean? Yeah.
Then he has to sit down because it gets a bit bumpy.
Meteor shower? Yeah, they said it was something like that.
So what time d'you land on the moon? Must have been about 20 past three in the afternoon, our time.
That's quite good going then.
It wasn't bad.
He done it in good time.
They did get there in good time.
Anyway, they let us off the craft.
Stretch our legs, have a little look about.
They said make sure you're back here by 20 past four.
Don't go too far.
You allowed to take a dog up there? No.
That's what I thought.
They're missing a trick there, Phil, cause, like, if everyone was allowed to take a dog up there, you'd get a lot more people.
I know! Anyway, I had a look about, I went in the gift shop, got a little replica moon.
Oh, lovely.
I get back on the craft.
By this point it's all getting quite lively.
Everyone's had a few, this bloke at the back, he's shouting out, he goes, "Oi, Branson!" He goes, "You're getting on a bit, 'in't ya?" Bet he didn't like that, old Branson.
Of course he didn't.
He was straight up, gets his wallet out, goes, "Right, there's a Ј20 note "for anyone who can find a grey hair in my beard.
" Did you have a go? We all did, yeah.
I was rifling through it, at one point I thought I saw a grey hair, but it was just a trick of the light.
Ah.
So then, he has to go and to take it too far.
He takes his top off, right, he goes, "Anyone can punch me "in the stomach, hard as they like, I won't feel a thing.
" So what was his body like? He's in good nick, right.
It's muscley but he's very, very wrinkly.
Anyway, this massive geezer's stepped up and he's just gone whack! Right in Branson's stomach.
Branson's stood up, he goes, "Right, everyone back in your seats.
" Why, was he hurt? He must have been.
Some bloke's gone, "Branson, you all right?" He goes, "Yeah, I'm all right.
I'm just bored of the game, that's all.
" Bollocks! So, like, what d'you do, did you have a sleep then? No, I had a coffee, but they make you pay for it.
That's how they sting you innit? Yeah, by then I was already over it, I was like, "Just get me home.
" So, when you look at the moon now, do you feel differently having been up on it? - Everyone goes on about it, but - Overrated? Yeah, look, I'm glad I can say I've been there but the moon's a bit of a shit hole.
Would I go back? No, I fucking wouldn't.
Do you know what I mean? Do you know what, I'm gonna phone Moses, chase this bloody Snickers.
I'm gonna try and get this radio working.
I mean, moving forward, I think ideally we would have all systems in place at the very latest by early next year.
In which case we should set up a dialogue with Simon ASAP and really get the ball rolling.
Whatever happens, I think if we can hit the ground running by January then, then we're in a good position.
I might grab a sandwich, actually, does anyone want anything? No, I think I'm fine, I'll get something when we're off.
I'll just have a Twix, please, if they've got one.
Cool.
Sorry, can I Actually, I'll come with you and grab something.
Yeah, sure.
OK.
They were based in Durham.
Aaah! Ah, aah! Aaa-aaa-aaah! They didn't have any Twix so I got you a Bounty.
I hope that's OK.
Thanks, I haven't had one of those in years.
I'm starving.
Oh, I got me the wrong sandwich.
I think I'm gonna go and change my sandwich Sorry, David, I'm just going to change Do you know what? I should probably come with you because of, um Yeah.
Back in a mo.
Have they been bumming? I think so.

We are looking box fresh with money to burn.
Right.
All aboard the banter train, destination Banterville! Oh, my God, honestly, Metcalf, look, the talent in this queue alone is absolutely breathtaking.
You could fit the works of JK Rowling on that shelf, make no mistake.
A whole back catalogue.
Wouldn't mind playing with her Goblets Of Fire.
Or entering her Chamber Of Secrets.

Oh, my God, mate, I tell you what, the wildlife in here is simply mesmerising.
It's like we're on safari.
Endangered species.
David Attenborough.
However, mate, to bag the big game, banter alone will not suffice.
We need novelty value.
But luckily, we've come prepared.
Look at you! Look at you! Look at you more like.
Look at those two bobby dazzlers over there.
They look like they might be up for a laugh and some of our banter.
We've got the money, let's get some honey.
Winnie The Pooh.

Yeah.
Throw away the key.
Go on, then.
Josef Fritzl The queue was massive coming in, wasn't it? Nice.
I like sex.
They totally trounced us.
Those Borat costumes were a legendary move.
You know what though, mate, they seem like nice lads so at the end of the day, hats off to them.
Oh, I don't believe this.
All right, lads.
Guys.
All right.
This is my church.
This is my steeple.
Open the doors and here's all my peoples.

Thank you.
That'll be great.
Erm, just brush your hair out of your face.
Sorry.
Ready? Yeah.
OK, now give me a nice big smile.
OK, that's looking more like a grimace.
Sorry, mate, what's your name? Dustin.
Dustin and? Kate.
Kate, OK, the thing is, I'm not really getting the sense that you're a couple.
Now, Dustin, what you're doing is really great, I'm getting a lot from you but erm Kate.
It's like you've never met Dustin before.
I'd like to throw something into the mix if that's cool? OK.
Yeah, great.
This is Olivka.
And, Kate, can I just get you over here? Just angle it, just on their faces so it catches the light.
OK, beautiful.
OK? Yeah.
Oh, I'm loving these already! That's beautiful, that is beautiful.
I'm feeling a lot of passion.
That's gorgeous, Dustin! You have done this before.
Try biting her neck.
Oh, my God, I'm loving this! Maybe I could pick her up? That'll be great, pick her up.
Like that.
That's it.
I love it! I'm loving this.
This is what I'm talking about! Let's angle that there.
Thank you.
OK, Olivka, take five, that's great, thank you, honey.
Let's get Dustin oiled up.

Yes, yes! Guys, let's get rid of the baby.
Can I get a water please, someone? Can we get Dustin some water? OK, that's beautiful.
Yes, I'm loving these! Beautiful, gorgeous I'm bored of the fireman's outfit, I'm bored of the hose, let's get the fucking snake in.
I'm loving these! Let's get this up like that, give me a big high kick.
Beautiful.
Hello! OK, guys, that is a wrap on Dustin! Here's your camera, you'll be happy with those shots.
Thanks, babes.
Wow, well, shall we go? Madame Tussauds? Oh, that really hit the spot.
I'm off out tonight to do one of my street pictures, on an epic scale.
The lesser-spotted Banksy is a nocturnal creature.
OK.
I'm off then.
I've taken the last 'nana.
OK.
What are you watching? It's a documentary about seagulls.
Oh? Have fun.
See you.
Bye.
About 500 yards that way is one of the south-east's major power stations.
The trouble is there's about three fences, some security guards and a heck of a lot else in-between.
I'm going to put the blanket over the spikes to protect what I call my money makers.
Oh, I did take quite a fall there.
That hurt.
Oh, that really hurts, that really hurts.
Helicopter Right, let's move quite fast, come on.
OK, the plan is to spray a massive picture of a plug socket on the side of the power station with a lady plugging her hoover into it.
Message being, that we don't always think about where our power supply is coming from.
Of course, Jill would say I don't know what a hoover looks like! OK.
This takes me back to my Duke Of Edinburgh Award days.
It's Jill.
Hello, finger poppet.
Yeah, good.
I just got stung by nettles.
It should be recording.
I pressed series record.
Against all odds, we've actually made it.
Oh, I'm out of breath.
Right, let's get unpacked.
Spray cans.
Hang on a second.
Think I'm going to need this.
What are you looking for? Stencils.
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.
Can't you just do it without a stencil? Do it freehand or something? No.
No, I'm not that good a drawer really.
Does it look like I'm asleep? Definitely, yeah.
Hold still there, mate.
I'm still finishing off your droopy cock and balls.
Honestly, mate, this is going to look like a legendary prank and provide us with loads of great anecdotes for the boys back home.
The like button is going to be red-hot.
Think of all the cool comments we'll get, mate.
"LOL.
Loving the pic, boys.
" "Outrageous stuff.
" Smiley face.
"Vintage Jonesy.
" Kiss kiss.
LMAO.
Right, then.
Hold there, mate.
OK.
Say cheese! Fromage.
'I have a special late-night hello to Jonesy and Metcalf, 'who are down south.
'Keep up the good banter, boys 'and have a very enjoyable night here at Babestation.
' Banter!
