Pizza girl! That's ã12.
99.
Over half an hour late.
We get free garlic bread.
The first address you gave me, it was It was a river.
But you're still late, I'm afraid.
Take that.
Looks like four quid short.
Then say stop when you reckon you've got your money's worth, baby.
You can't keep trying to pay me with free mugs and lame stripteases.
No more mugs! Aha! I present to you the Midnight Beast flannel! You can use it to dab sweaty pits.
I mean, um you must be sweaty, delivering all those, er, pizzas.
Enjoy your final pizzas.
In your flat of twats.
She likes me.
She likes the band.
Course she does.
We're fucking invincible.
The Midnight Beast! We're the greatest unsigned gimmick brat band from southwest London We're not unsigned because we're shit We're unsigned because corporations suck And because we're shit.
Shut up, Ash! Mum, your little boy's flown from the nest Moved in with his best boyfriends We're the best To a very big mansion of a crib No more nappies! No more bibs! What? Nothing! Er, we've got our own fridge The wide world's very, very mean But, Mama, I can handle myself! You'll soon see! Just the other day I was walking Felt a tap on my shoulder There's a shark standing there and he looks much older He's like "Rah, rah, rah!" I turn around and I'm like "What the hell?" Then I kicked the shark in the face He kicked the shark in the face Then I kicked the shark in the face His face was a total disgrace Humans are bitter You can't punch me with a flipper I kicked the shark in the face He kicked the shark in the face I'm sitting on my arse playing Xbox games Then I hear a voice and it's calling out my name I'm like "Yo! What you want, motherfucker?" He's like "Yo! Y-Y-You, motherfucker!" What happened next? I'm getting to that Zip up my flies, roll my sleeves Grab a baseball bat I look left, look right but there's no-one around Then a bear tack-tackles me to the ground He's like "Rah, rah, rah!" Then I get up and I'm like "What the fuck?" He looks back and he's like "Rah, rah, rah!" I'm not even scared, I'm like "What the fuck? W-W-What the fuck? Then I hit the bear in the balls He hit the bear in the balls Take one for the team to the balls Stef hit the bear in his balls Go cry to your mama A bear couldn't cook carbonara I hit the bear in the balls He hit the bear in the balls Swim with a school of fish Hunt with a pack of wolves The only thing I know is I love animals! We put this bit in the song I love animals So the animal lovers don't come for us We put this bit in the song so the animal lovers don't come for us Then I kicked the shark in the face! Humans are winners Cos we'll have your legs for dinner Unless you're vegetarian And that's OK Being vegetarian's fine with me.
You're back.
I knew you can't resist me.
Pizza girl! ã12.
99.
Time to go-go.
I am so, so sorry.
Listen um none of us actually have ever ordered a pizza in our life, so I don't even know what a pizza is.
What is it? Not important.
Maybe try the guy next door.
He loves pizza.
Whatever it is.
Er, thank you.
Oh, the fridge is fucked.
It's supposed to fill up when no-one's here.
That's what happened at Mum's house.
We haven't checked the bin.
The last tenant's cat food.
"Meat content 17%.
" Breakfast is served, gentlemen.
We're out of money, out of food.
This doesn't feel like superstardom.
Maybe it's how models stay thin.
By being poor? Ah! Undiscovered dregs! Knockety-fucking-knock! Jesus! Are they charging you money for this place? Chevy, you got any food? Can you check your pockets? Sorry, lads! I'm running off pure ambition and a love of music.
Shit, I've run out of nails.
Dru, pass me your hand.
All right, just one.
Hungry, are you? I've been there.
Before I had my success.
Looks like you guys need cash.
Yeah, but no record deals.
We're doing it our way, independent, right? Trust me, lads! I've got a nice little angle for ya.
You know them games where you play along with the music and the little plastic whatnots? Yeah! Yes! I've heard of these things of which you speak, yes.
Contact of mine, Sam, bit of a player, lives in Los Andrew-les.
Does placements for bands.
Los Andrews-les.
Gets their songs onto games.
But so often there's one really shit band you've never heard of and you always have to mute.
And that band could be you! Sam flies in tomorrow, so get your set ready.
So you got us a venue? Course I have! It's what band managers do, innit? But you're gonna have to look cool.
You're gonna have to blink a lot, cos blinking's cool.
Quick.
Blinking check.
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me! Come on! Give it me! Give it me! Give it me! Blinking more! Harder! Faster! Faster! Dru! That's very good.
Phil Collins is a blinker.
I'll crack on, get the venue sorted.
Sweet.
All right? The name's Chevron! Didn't I ban you for doing drugs with some other dickhead? You must be mistaken.
My first time here.
What it is, is I'm a music manager and I'm looking for a venue to showcase one of my bands.
Could make your club a lot of money.
Who's the band? Have you heard of Coldplay? Going outside makes me so hungry.
Your mate, Chevron.
No, it's fine.
Apparently, we're meeting him at the venue.
I Oh.
Which one of you's Stef? Who needs to know? Your laptop's showing up on my wireless network.
Oh, is your network the one called DieWifeDie? And yet still she lives.
She took everything.
Know what she left me? Yeah.
Sad, innit? Been my vase.
A paperweight.
But in a very real way, it's become a friend.
Look, just keep off my network, all right? I've been doing some very intensive coding for Maley's.
You know Maley's? The new creamy liqueur for the pink pound.
Yeah.
Strange consistency.
Very albuminous.
Very salty.
Reminds me of, um What was it again? Er hm.
Oh! Poisonous cow! Unfortunately, we've got to I'm glad your mug's dead! .

Oh, great! Hello? Bitch! Not you.
Help me! Just over there.
Just sign Hey.

Brought you some food.
Er are you all my boyfriend now? Cos I only brought enough for Stef.
There is no sharing today.
What are we gonna eat? Lip balm? It smells like cherries and it's made up of ground-up horse's hooves.
Sweet.
Give me that.
Come on, man.
Get off, Dru.
The cherry goodness is over.
Don't hog it, man.
All right.
Give me some.
Oh, my God! Lemon! Mm, mm! Vitamins.

To be fair, I asked you if you've heard of Coldplay, which you had.
Fuck it! We don't want to play there anyway.
Look, there's shitloads of really cool places that are crying out for a band like you! Well, not crying out.
Talking, mumbling.
But don't dwell on that.
Let me worry about that.
We could play at our place.
Repeatez-fucking-vous? You know, at our flat.
We can do a gig there.
I said cool.
It's pretty cool.
It's cold.
That's very different.
Similar, but worlds apart.
Trust me.
I'll sort it out.
You the band, my children, my dollies, are playing for Sam somewhere fucking drop-dead cool tomorrow! Mm! We were in the middle of dinner! Yeah? Lettuce for two again.
Oh, um, sorry.
Listen, we'll be playing a gig in our flat tonight, so there might be some noise, if we do it right.
Yeah, so, whatever you do, don't come in.
But I like music.
Big music fan, me.
Music, er very good use of sound.
Look, just stay inside.
You're the weird neighbour.
Yes, you are.
If you've got a complaint, just bang on the wall with a broom.
Huh! See, Uncle Eeyore there is exactly the sort of person we don't want hanging about you boys when Sam's about.
Coolness is all.
What the fuck are you doing?! Basic resourcefulness.
He's got crates of the stuff.
Stef! Stef! Stef! Stef! Stef! Stef! Stef! Stef! Stef! Chevy! Come here! Chevy, love you! Is he drunk? No! He's so far past drunk, he's sober again.
It's fine.
I need you in control, Stef.
Sam takes a lot of impressing.
That's why I'm not drinking.
Keeping it tied down.
Staying sharp! Couldn't sleep yesterday.
Feeling a bit "pick, pick, pick" now.
You know, like something needs tuning in or turning off or some Argh! Where's your bog again? Pizza girl! Mate, check this out.
I'm gonna stuff her crust.
I'm not sure sexy pizza chat is what she wants to hear.
Felicitations, chiquita.
What brings your body to our abode, eh? I'm doing a degree in twat studies, so primarily I'm here for research.
Well, I see it's taking half an hour for a comeback so I guess this party's free.
Told.
She likes me.
Oh! Hmm.
I love your band! What? You're amazing! Say again? What? You're amazing! Zoe, have you seen Chevy? I've been trying to avoid him, to be honest, Stef.
You guys rule.
I love your band.
Cheers.
Um have you seen Chevy? I really wanted to, but my friends wanted to see Twilight so we saw that instead.
Move your body! Oh, just say no! Have you seen Chevy? He's the only one who knows what Sam looks like.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look, I'll stop Hitler and you find Chevy, all right? Fuck's sake! Sorry.
Chev? Chev? What? Is Sam here yet? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What? Sam, we're ready to play.
We've booked a great band! Back, back, back.
Oh, left.
Oh, left, left.
Left, back and down.
Oh! What the eff?! Er can we store a body in your flat? Don't worry, he's not dead.
It's fine.
Does this mean I can come to the party? No, but, um, we've got a lot of promotional mugs, so I'm sure we could sort you out with one of them.
All right.
Yeah.
I dig all of you.
I know.
Just such a beautiful thing being on Ash! Ash! Being on a surfboard Ash! .
