[silence]

[distant traffic]

[rumbling]

[silence]

[James sighs]

Hey

[Alyssa] Sometimes, James feels
like a boy I could love

Like, really love

[distant honking]

Then, other times,
he feels like a total f*cking stranger

[Muzak]

It's an extra £30 for a late checkout

Fine

That's a lot of cash

We robbed a bank

[Alyssa sighs]

Keep the change

[slow rock]

[James] Could get a train to your dad's

[Alyssa] Maybe

[Alyssa] What if he doesn't want
to see me?

Well, shall we?

- What?
- Get a train to your dad's

[Alyssa] He probably won't
even recognize me

- Are we still going there?
- Yeah, obviously

We should lie low for a bit
Wait a couple of days

before we start getting
on any trains or anything

- Why?
- Because we robbed a guy, James

- He assaulted me
- Doesn't matter

We should go off-grid for a bit

Isn't your dad's off-grid?

- Why are you so obsessed with my dad?
- What?

I'm not

He's miles away

We need to find somewhere nearby

Somewhere nice

Could be like a mini break

[slow rock continues]

Holy sh*t

- How do you know?
- Know what?

That this one's safe

No obvious burglar alarm

Dust everywhere,
so no cleaner to worry about

[Alyssa] Post

At least a week's worth

Is breaking and entering
the best way of lying low?

[glass shatters]

[door opens and closes]

[Alyssa] Cool

[James] Think that's him
[Alyssa] Who?

[James] The guy that lives here

[Alyssa] Yeah, obviously

Bit uptight, isn't he?

[James] He's a professor

[Alyssa] Whatever, it's f*cking weird
having a photo of yourself

Hey

Look what I found

[James] Alyssa didn't have
much respect for people

Or people's stuff

[Alyssa] I sometimes wonder
if I should just become an alcoholic

It means you've always got
something to do

[suppressed gag]

[silence]

I reckon this'll do

[James] Yeah

We can just chill here,
plan our route, take our time

Yep

[Alyssa] I'm trying to think
what adults do in situations like this

Should we go downstairs
and have a glass of wine?

Yeah

OK

Are you hungry?

Always

[Alyssa] Well, that wasn't
as sh*t as I expected

It was actually really nice

[Alyssa] Thank you

How do you know how to cook?

Taught myself

[hard rock]

[James] It was that or type 2 diabetes

[Alyssa] We should wash up

♪ You're my gal and I'm your feller... ♪

[Alyssa] Some people get embarrassed
dancing. I don't

I think it's when I feel most myself

I get embarrassed talking
Well, after talking

When I realize
I've said something stupid

We should do this naked

[Alyssa] Something like that

♪ You be Daffy ♪

♪ Settin' the woods on fire... ♪

[James] As a rule, I didn't dance,

but it was hard to say no to Alyssa

Hey, close your eyes

- What?
- Close your eyes. I promise I won't look

Undo your belt

[Alyssa] Whoever says all boys are
obsessed with sex hasn't met James

[music stops]

[Alyssa] I really hope
I'm not bad at this

Huh

[James snickers]
Is this OK?

[James gulps]

[breathes deeply]
Um, stop. Please, could you stop

- What?
- He was putting me off

- I thought you said that you wanted me
- I do

- I did
- Liar

f*ck you!

[melancholy guitar]

Alyssa!

[door slams]

[James] I tended not to feel things

For a long time, I was good at it

Good at feeling absolutely nothing

I didn't even have to try

I just...

didn't

[low rumbling]

[rumbling intensifies]

BLEACH

[door echoes]

[doo-wop] ♪ Oooh, what a day ♪

♪ Oh, what a day
Oh, what a day ♪

♪ Oooh-oooh-oooh ♪

♪ Oh, what a day
Oh, what a day ♪

♪ When we fell in looove ♪

[music stops]

[Alyssa] The world is f*cking bleak

I guess I try and do things
to forget that it is

Keep busy, keep blind

I thought that's what me
and James were doing

Don't look at that

Hey

Hey

- How old are you, then?
- 17

Yeah, right

[snorts] You look better in person

f*ck off

[Alyssa] I do, actually

My mum says it's my secret w*apon,

which I think is kind of rude,
but I see her point

- So, what was your name again?
- Alyssa

Alyssa

Cool

What's yours?

Topher

What kind of a name is Topher?

It's short for Christopher

So, why can't you just be called Chris,
like a normal person?

Dunno

Guess I'm a twat

[melancholy guitar]

- Do you have a girlfriend?
- No

- Boyfriend?
- No

[Topher] Whoa! Is this your place?

[Alyssa] We're squatting

[Topher] Who's we?

[door opens and closes]

James, this is Topher

And we're going upstairs to have sex

[James] Being with Alyssa had started
to make me feel things

She made me feel things

And I didn't like it at all

[guitar stops]

[Topher] Um...

[Alyssa] What?

[Topher] This isn't being filmed is it?
[Alyssa sighs]

Are you actually underage and someone's
gonna leap out like, "catch a pedophile"?

[Alyssa] Oh, for God's sake!

Come on, then!

[ominous music]

[giggling]

[James] Alyssa had thrown me a curveball

[slash]

[hearty laughter]

[James] I had to bide my time

So I decided to have a look around

[laughter continues]

♪ Walking all day
with my eyes on fire ♪

♪ Can't stop looking at you ♪

♪ Walking all day
with my eyes on fire ♪

♪ That's what I've gotta do ♪

♪ Can't stop looking at you ♪

[muffled screaming]

[screaming intensifies]

[heavy silence]

sh*t

[Alyssa giggles]

[low rumbling]

You're cool, Alyssa

You're really f*cking cool

Thanks

[Alyssa] It's no good

It's just no good

Thanks, James

- I'm sorry
- What?

I changed my mind
I'm sorry, I'm not into this

Are you... Are you kidding?

Nope

[stutters] That's not fair

Uh, yes, it is

Please, Alyssa

I think you're amazing

Well, then, respect me changing my mind,
and f*ck off, please

[Topher sighs]

It's like... [angry] There is a word
for girls like you

I'll bet

[door slams]

[heavy footsteps on stairs]

[Topher] She is a f*cking
prick-tease bitch

Right, yeah

I'll tell her

[door opens and slams shut]

[James knocks]

Alyssa?

[Alyssa] Go away

[Alyssa] It feels like sex can go
from something you want to do

to a punishment, really f*cking quickly

[ominous music]

[James] I waited until she fell asleep

[door creaks]

[ominous music builds then stops]

[James] When her eyes were closed...

Alyssa looked a lot less angry

[gentle acoustic guitar]

[Alyssa sighs in her sleep]

♪ And while I'm playing for you ♪

♪ It could be raining there, too ♪

That's great

[ominous b*at]

Thank you very... [falters] much

[ominous music]

[door opens]

[ominous music intensifies]

[approaching footsteps]

[music builds]

[music stops]

[Alyssa] Oh, f*ck

How did you get in here?

I'm sorry

It's OK

[sighs]

It's OK, you just...

gave me a shock, that's all

Are you in trouble?
You needed somewhere to stay?

That's all right

You on your own?

Yes

OK

[deep rumbling]

You made a bit of a mess downstairs,
didn't you?

[man] Hmm?

You've been eating my porridge,
as well, Goldilocks?

[snickers]

What?

Shush, shush, shush, shush
Just stay still

Please don't

Don't what?

[firm] Hey, you gonna make this difficult?

[whimpers]

Oh... Are you a virgin?

No
