Gwaith/Cartref (2011) s01e04 Episode Script

Episode 4

If you can't teach Jac, ask the Head to swap your class.
When I mention your older brother Him? You think you're God's gift.
I don't think it, I know it.
There's one guy you'll never get into bed.
You don't stand a chance because he's asexual.
I think he looks nice.
Do you fancy him? Miss Edwards, I'd like a word with you about the Media Studies course.
I hope you're not poaching my staff.
Of course I'm not.
I'm worried about Sioned Evans, 7H.
She's being bullied.
I was bullied at school because of my stammer.
Sioned, can I have a word with you? I thought I'd share my experience with her.
Don't ever do that.
You didn't call about your garden.
I will.
It does need attention.
I'll look forward to it.
Did you do these? They're excellent.
Hiya, Stuart? It's Emyr.
Do you fancy meeting to discuss the garden? 'CAN'T COME SORRY' The Media! What's the next step? Come in for a coffee, if you like.
I was referring to the Media Studies course.
You'll need to write a detailed lesson plan and give it to me Coffee would be great.
HOME / WORK WORK Grug Matthews is away on the Headship course today.
She's very fortunate to have this opportunity.
I think you could all follow her example.
Good morning.
Sorry, Mr El.
My alarm clock has broken.
We'll have to buy you a new one.
Pervert! Um the um The County Eisteddfod will soon be upon us.
Oh, damn.
Has your alarm clock broken? Seren refused to get dressed for school .
.
just to annoy me.
What's your excuse? I wanted to finish this.
It's a detailed plan for the Media Studies lessons.
It feels very detailed.
I don't take half measures when I'm serious about something.
Is everything alright? Yes.
Emyr needs to release you before I can go ahead with anything.
I thought you'd spoken to him.
Yes, of course.
He'll be fine.
Hey here's looking at you, kid! Yes, see you later.
Tick, tock, tick, tock you're running out of time.
Slowly, slowly, catchy monkey! Will Grug be back tomorrow? I need to discuss an idea with her.
I like a man who's full of ideas.
A Mathematics Olympics in school! Sounds exciting.
Tell me more.
I was so excited when I thought about it in bed last night.
Do you remember The Krypton Factor? SCHOOL BELL Just as it was getting interesting.
Come on.
Chop-chop! Come on, you move faster than this when it's time to go home.
Elen Davies thinks she knows it all, and her father's a school governor.
Thanks for the tip.
Just trying to help.
Sir? You need glasses.
You're in the wrong class.
I'm teaching you from now on.
In you go.
Do your ears need cleaning? Why aren't you teaching us any more? There have been some changes in the department.
Nothing for you to worry about.
In you go, please.
I won't ask you again.
Right.
The Welsh Waterways Art Competition for secondary schools.
What's the prize, miss? Your design will appear on Welsh Waterways's promotional leaflet .
.
for this coming year.
That's a waste of time.
Boring.
It's an opportunity for you to work on your drawing skills .
.
and to gain experience outside of school, and that's worth a lot.
Yes, Nadine.
Can we draw anything, miss? Loser.
The theme is water.
Take a look at the application form.
You don't know anything about water, do you? Smelly cow! Write these questions in your books.
They'll be useful when you're revising.
I'll ask you for the answers in a moment, so look in your atlases.
Is there a problem, Jac? No.
Zip it then! This is really boring.
Silence! Question One, Jac! Carry on for a minute, Year 10.
Hiya.
I'm looking for ideas for the Mathematics Olympics.
Do you think this tree will inspire you? The challenge is to guess the age of the tree.
Wouldn't you need to cut it down to learn the age from its circles? That's the conventional method .
.
but there's bound to be another way.
Asia is the biggest continent, but which is the second biggest? Africa.
Yes, well done.
Africa is home to the world's longest river.
Who can name it? The Taff, sir? No, and if you can't be sensible, be quiet.
Anyone else? The Nile.
Yes, excellent.
SNORING The Nile is 4,160 Jac, please.
You asked me to be quiet.
I can only do that when I'm asleep.
You'll end up in the Isolation Room! Fine.
Whoa! Jac, Jac! Write these down.
I'll be back now.
Jac! If I can devise a method .
.
using the length of one's arm around the tree .
.
I'm sure we could estimate the tree's age.
You could be a model with these.
But perhaps the imprecise nature of the arm complicates the equation.
What are you doing, miss? Keep training.
I'll be there now.
Hiya, s-s-s-ir! I'd better go.
Thanks for your help.
No probs.
Take my number.
We can discuss your ideas later.
I think this Olympics business could be a great success.
Right, girls Using what you've learnt, we're going to play a little game.
CHEERING Sshhh! Sshhh! LAUGHING AND SHOUTING What's going on here? Sorry, sir.
CHEERING AND SCREAMING Oi! Slash! Get down from there! And you, put that phone away! Now then! Where's Mr Watkins? I thought I'd find you here.
OK, I'll go Wait a second um Look It wasn't Mr James's decision to stop teaching you.
The Head made the decision .
.
after he learnt that you're related.
He thought it would be easier for the pair of you.
Don't blame Mr James.
Nor me.
Sorry.
Shall we go back to the class? OK.
What was the name of that river? The Nile, sir.
Emyr I wanted a word with you about the Media Studies course.
It's the kind of subject that produces bad spellers! It's a popular course.
Yes, for wasters and wannabes.
Wyn is keen.
Why doesn't that surprise me? The Deputy has agreed to it, as long as you're happy too.
I'd be delighted to get rid of Wyn .
.
but I doubt if the rest of the department will take the extra work.
It would only be a few lessons a week.
No.
Be fair, Emyr.
He's done all the preparation for it.
That's not my fault.
Someone should have spoken to me first.
Please? I know what you've promised the guy, Nerys .
.
but there's more than one way to get Wyn into bed.
Where is everyone? CHEERING AND CLAPPING Canada.
Another point to Josh's team.
KNOCK ON DOOR Can my class follow me, please? Oh, sir? But it's better here with Mr James.
Silence, please.
Right, 7C.
Go back to your classroom.
I won't ask you again.
Come on, please.
Come on.
What? "It's better here with Mr James!" Come on.
Right.
Fancy going to the cinema tonight? This film looks good.
I can't.
James is calling by to discuss business.
Is that what they call it these days? Right SCHOOL BELL Go ahead make my day.
Have you spoken to Emyr yet? No, not yet.
I promise I'll have a word with him before the end of the day.
I'm sure we'll work well together.
Have you heard the latest about Aneurin? It'll be a lot of extra work, but I don't mind.
Just keep these Olympics inside of school.
I don't want papier mache blocking my kitchen sink.
A- a-alright, Aneurin? Yes.
Is there something wrong with you, Wyn? Walk! Mr Watkins? Mr Watkins.
Sorry about earlier.
Do you want a hand with football training tonight? No.
I couldn't leave them on their own.
So you decided to play the big hero? I was only doing my job.
Try using games and pictures.
It works wonders with the lower sets.
I know how to teach, thank you very much.
Your brother was the problem.
I had a decent conversation with Jac.
You should do the same.
It's none of your business.
It is! Thanks to you, I've got to look after the rude prat! There's no need for name-calling.
That's what he is.
It takes one to know one.
Aneurin! Stop them! Come on, lads.
Stop it! Well done, Mr Rees! Sorry it was an accident.
Are you alright? Get out.
The show's over.
SCHOOL BELL It was a misunderstanding.
That's no excuse.
I want to know what's going on here.
Well? I said um He wasn't willing for me to take football training.
I shouldn't have pushed it.
No um Perhaps I was too protective of the team.
You argued about football training! Yes, it's stupid.
Now I've thought about it, maybe Dan should take over .
.
since I have a lot to do as head of department.
Temporary! Yes.
We're both eager to do all we can for this school.
What if a parent hears of your childish behaviour? You're supposed to be responsible adults.
You have a duty to this school.
It won't happen again.
No, it won't.
Next time, you'll get more than just a warning.
Understand? Football training? What was the real reason, lads? Mind your own business.
Aneurin's got a better right hook than you.
Sorry for being And me.
Hey! BECA SINGS THE THEME FROM ROCKY Here comes Joe Calzaghe .
.
and Roy Jones Jr! What will Grug say about that lip? Not a word, OK? How much are you paying? Just concentrate on our bet.
Don't worry, Simon.
I've almost won it.
ANEURIN HUMS THE THEME FROM ROCKY SCHOOL BELL Oh, milk.
Think of how you can convey the poem in a dramatic fashion.
The County Eisteddfod is just around the corner.
Miss Edwards, I know you're still angry with me .
.
but please don't take it out on Saunders Lewis.
Can we have another copy of the poem? Yes, I'll get some now.
Angles.
Who remembers the rules from our last lesson? Yes? Do you have a g-g-girlfriend, sir? CHILDREN LAUGH I don't think that's relevant to the lesson, Henry.
C- c-come on, sir.
T-t-tell us about your I-I-love life.
No more irrelevant questions.
Sir, nobody's bothered about a-a-angles.
That's enough! Oooh! CHILDREN SHOUT AND CHEER CHILDREN SPEAK AT ONCE You need more emotion in that section.
Try it again.
You're not in a circus, so behave yourselves.
TEXT ALER Oooh! Alright, Clever clogs! 'HOW'S THE GARDEN?' SCREAMS What's going on? It was Adam's fault.
No, Sion pushed her.
Alright! It doesn't matter now.
Are you alright, Megan? What's happened? Go and get the nurse! You'll be fine.
Just breathe.
SCHOOL BELL Sioned? Can I have a word, please? I trusted you.
SOBBING How on earth did this happen? It was my fault.
No, nobody was to blame.
We'd gone to fetch the um the overhead projector.
I couldn't carry it on my own.
A lack of preparation.
No, no, no.
The Art Department was using it in the previous lesson, and um We don't have enough of them.
Carol Adams is a difficult parent at the best of times.
The last thing I want to do is face the governors because of you.
What if she contacts the press? I'm sure she'll understand it was an accident.
Maybe you're right, but I want you to explain it to her face-to-face.
Go and see Megan and her parents straight after school.
SCHOOL BELL Nadine? What are you doing with those? Well? I thought I'd enter the competition you mentioned.
Why didn't you tell me? You can't take school materials.
Put them back in the cupboard.
Look If you're serious about this competition .
.
I'll bring you some paint and brushes tomorrow.
Thanks, miss.
Sorry.
It will only be for a few hours.
Please? Oh, OK.
Don't worry right.
No luck? It's impossible to find a babysitter at the last minute.
I'll go on my own.
You did save my skin after all.
Yes, I did.
Alright, I'll get you a bottle of wine too.
White? Come on out with it! Thank you.
Did the kids steal your keys? Has it happened to you too? No, but it's an old trick.
I was going to break a window.
It's lucky you had my number.
Facing hell would have been easier than teaching that last class.
I think you deserve a drink.
I've got too much marking to do.
One drink won't kill you.
Just a small one.
Mr Rowlands? I've got some good news for you.
Emyr has agreed.
It's official.
Welcome to the Media Department.
Oh, yippee-ki-yay It'll be a huge loss for you and the department.
I don't know how we'll cope.
Congratulations.
Do you fancy a celebratory drink? I'm busy.
See you tomorrow.
Come here.
It's his loss.
That's easy for you to say.
You've had sex in the past three years.
Three years? Really? Oh, darling.
Come here.
Hold on.
Good luck with the football, boys.
We'll be thinking of you over our bottle of wine.
Pardon? First base, Si.
Come on.
This way.
HOME / WORK HOME Half a pint of lager and lime, please.
Make it a pint.
'HOW WAS THE TRIP?' You talkin' to me? I can't see anyone else because I'm the teacher oh, yeah! 'MEDIA STUDIES' Nadine? I thought I'd fetch the paint and brushes.
Come in.
I think you need more gaps.
I'm surprised Mourinho hasn't spotted your talent.
Just trying to help.
Will you be checking up on me during the match too? No, Grug's coming to pick me up.
It's best if we don't tell her about today.
You know what she's like.
Are you scared of being caned by the future Head? It's a one-day course.
She isn't my Head yet.
I don't know how to explain this to her.
Come on, boys.
Three laps of the field to warm up.
You didn't tell me Jac was in the team.
You wanted to take training.
Yes, but I wasn't expecting You can't ignore him forever.
Hey, eating's cheating.
I don't want to overdo it.
I think you need it after today.
I need to get my head examined.
Sioned Evans, 7H.
She's being bullied.
I told her that I'd been through the same.
I was only trying to help.
I thought she'd appreciate it.
Now, everyone in the school knows.
Knowledge is power, Aneurin.
Hey, Osh.
Do you fancy going for a pint? I'm celebrating.
I've got a new job.
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Well, I have some marking to do too.
No problem.
Yes, we will.
Ta-ra.
Speak to each other, boys.
Come on, boys.
Look to the right.
Rhods is free.
Hiya.
They're almost done.
Do you mind waiting? What's happened to your lip? It's a cold sore.
How was the course? Fine.
Thanks for asking.
I was going to ask.
Why aren't you training the boys today? My knee is aching.
Dan agreed to take over.
WHISTLE Free kick to Rhys.
A cold sore? A bad knee? You need a doctor.
Or a nurse.
I'll see what I can do later.
Did anything interesting happen while I was away? Nothing.
Come on, boys.
I'd love to have a studio.
You might get one, sometime.
Nadine don't put yourself down.
You have a good eye, but you need more confidence.
Thanks, miss.
Listen I used this a lot when I started drawing.
Take it home to read.
Take these too.
DOORBELL Excuse me.
Hiya, come in.
Thanks.
Your shadow is still here.
See you in school tomorrow, Nadine.
Thanks for this.
You're welcome.
Ta-ra, bach.
Ta-ra.
She's talented.
I don't think she gets any attention at home.
What are you? A social worker? Do you want a cuppa? Wait a minute.
There's no rush.
Can I watch a film on TV tonight? It depends what time it ends.
Not too late, and Dad says it's We'll see.
You need to finish your homework too.
Eat your food before it gets cold.
KNOCK ON DOOR I don't want any waste.
Does the offer for a drink still stand? Yes, but we're in the middle of eating.
OK.
No, no, come in.
I'll fetch some glasses.
Sit down.
There are some fish fingers left, if you want any.
No, I'm fine.
DOORBELL I've come to see Megan, and to apologize on behalf of the school.
Come in.
Thank you.
Is Carol home? No, she's gone to her Welsh class.
How's the arm? It's broken in two places.
You won't be writing for a while.
I thought you'd enjoy reading these articles.
I'm just kidding.
Here you go.
Thanks, sir.
Would you like a cuppa? Yes, please.
Speak to each other, boys.
Go for it, Jac.
WHISTLE Are you alright? Yes.
I've warned you about dirty tackles.
Penalty.
You take it.
Yes, come on! Well done, Jac.
WHISTLE There was no way out.
They'd placed the gym mats against the door.
The rascals.
I hated school.
I don't know why I came back.
Things are different now.
You're the teacher.
It's odd because the same thing happened in my previous job.
They would make my computer crash and send me dirty emails.
Unlucky.
That's what they called me.
Unlucky Aneurin.
I'll get us another drink.
What do you fancy? I'll have a sambuca.
Are you sure? Yes, I think I need it! It's Beca.
FINAL WHISTLE What has she done now? Good game, boys.
Nice one, Jac.
Well done.
I hear you scored the winning goal.
You must have a good coach.
See you tomorrow, Jac.
Come on, Mam.
MOBILE PHONE Leave it.
It might be business.
Hiya.
Yes, I'm just finishing now.
I'm at the gallery.
I'll be home soon.
Bye, darling.
Sorry I should have said.
A patio is ideal if you want something that's easy to maintain.
Yes, you might be right.
I'm not a roses and tulips guy.
I can get some cheap slabs delivered to you.
Will you turn up this time? Sorry.
I couldn't face it.
Am I that ugly? I've got a family, Emyr.
Yes.
You do have a family.
They've all got their own genre.
Quentin Tarantino would never be found directing Lassie, would he? No.
I knew I was the right person for the job.
It's a good course.
You'll enjoy it.
I can't believe Emyr agreed to it.
Yes, fair play to him.
Can I watch that film now? It'll be on again.
But you said Wyn and I need to discuss school matters, alright? Alright? Hey, guys.
Good timing.
It's my round.
Five sambucas, please.
I'll have half a shandy, please.
Pint.
We should stick to shandy too.
Stop talking through your hat! HE CHUCKLES What am I saying? You're not wearing a hat! You must be lightweights.
We're going to town, aren't we? Are we? Yes.
Two sambucas and three shandies for these wimps behind me.
You should consider doing smaller paintings.
We'll get more on the walls.
It'll mean more business for you and me.
I like this one.
That's not my work.
Nadine, the girl who was here earlier, it's one of hers.
You were right to say she's talented.
It's a pity she doesn't have the looks to match.
James, why didn't? Here you are.
Something to tie you over and to say thank you.
Thank you? Yes, you're worth every penny.
Breakfast At Tiffany's.
I used to dream about being Audrey Hepburn.
You do resemble Holly Golightly.
That Cava has gone to your head.
Maybe it has.
Are you complaining? She was a beautiful lady.
Yes, she was.
# There's sunshine through the dawn # This is the hour # Oh! You're meant to be in bed.
Sorry.
I should go.
No.
Give me five minutes, please.
Sorry for shouting, sweetheart.
I thought you were discussing schoolwork.
Yes, I know.
But the thing is Mam likes Wyn.
FRONT DOOR SHUTS Wyn? Wyn? CAR ENGINE STARTS Come back inside.
Please? ENGINE REVS Your gaydar obviously works better than mine.
I told you, didn't I? Why does my love life have to be so complicated? I don't know, Ems.
The good ones are always married.
You should stay away from him.
You don't want any more problems with parents at school.
He's laying a patio for me in my garden next week.
I'm starving.
Anyone fancy a curry? Good idea.
No, thanks.
Oops! Maybe we should take you home.
Whoa! I'm fine.
I'll get another pint.
I'll take Aneurin home.
I think you need some food.
Yes, come on.
I'll make sure Aneurin finds his bed safely.
Please be responsible for once.
I do have some common sense.
Don't let her take advantage of you.
She's a dangerous woman! Your curry is waiting for you.
I thought you were skint.
Did someone else want a painting of their pet? James.
It's for materials for the exhibition.
It's a lot of money.
Just be careful, yeah? James is an alright guy.
I don't want you to get hurt.
I don't think you're in a position to offer advice.
I don't know what you see in him.
Money.
Power.
Fantastic sex.
Sex isn't everything.
Not when you're getting it.
Do you think I'm boring? No, of course not.
Simon and Dan think I am.
Emyr and Wyn think it too.
I'm not boring.
No, come on.
I'll prove it.
I'll show you that I'm not boring.
Hey, get down.
CAR HORN Get down before you get hurt! Aneurin, please? Aneurin please.
# Come, Wales, young and old # Aneurin! # To battle! # Oooh, I need a pee.
Are you going to tell me? Simon's lip.
I've got no idea.
Beca told me everything.
There'll be another fight if he knows you've found out.
At least you got to know Jac a bit better .
.
but not your mother.
Sorry, it's none of my business.
No, it's OK.
I just I don't know how to talk to her.
Does that sound odd? No.
Men are hopeless when it comes to talking about their feelings.
That doesn't mean you're not allowed to talk.
I'm here if you want.
Thanks.
Right, where are those poppadoms? I'm starving.
I've never been in a police car before.
Have you got any gadgets like the ones in films? Maybe there's an idea there.
Please, officer.
He's a teacher.
It'll finish his career if he gets a record.
He'll pay for any damages.
You've got all our details.
But I am giving you a warning.
Oh, thank you.
Aneurin? Oh, yes.
Thank you so much, officer.
And thank you for letting us in your lovely car.
Don't take any notice, officer.
Thanks again, you're a top bloke.
Any chance you can give us a lift home? # To battle # Shush! You don't want to get another warning.
Come on.
Come on, upstairs.
Shush! # We're still here # Aneurin, please.
Shush! Shush! Aneurin? Neu? CAMERA CLICK TEXT MESSAGE Oh, I don't believe her.
Look at that! Oh, for God's sake.
Hey, Dan.
Look at that.
Hilarious! Um I've decided to move out.
Eh? It's time you had the place to yourselves.
Don't be stupid.
You haven't been here for long.
Are there mice under your bed? It was only meant to be short term.
Grug, tell him.
I'll move out by the end of the week.
# When I was a year or two younger # And I was a red-cheeked, innocent young lad # I'd go to school like every good little boy # Through fog and rain in the winter and in the summer # At school, I had # History lessons, Geography lessons # And English lessons all the time # And one or two lessons in Welsh, fair play # Because I was a little Welshman #
