[bunniefuu]

Yeah, but,

my parents are really proud of me.

And they think

all my poems should be published.

LAUGHTER

But they're so not creative,

no way. My mum does HR.

She's like this mix of being

super-strict, but really shy.

SHE SCREAMS

And my dad's a tax officer, which is

just likeugh.

LAUGHTER

There, you c**t!

He's really sweet, though.

Oh, they sound lush. Yeah.

I mean, they're really, really,

annoying, but

..I'm really lucky to have them.

They really love me.

So, are you going to write more

poems, then?

Yeah. I will, but, I'm working

on a novel now, so What? N

Yeah.

Pops, I'm going

to walk back to school. Cool, babe.

See you in a bit. Oh. OK.

Um, that is amazing.

What's it going to be about?

Well, it's early stages,

but, like, the human condition. Oh!

Yeah, my godmother's a novelist,

so she's been helping me.

What's she written?

Like, proper books? Yeah.

She's wicked.

I could lend you one.

I can come and find you

and bring it to you, if you want.

Oh, I'm busy later,

but maybe next week, or something.

TO HERSELF: I can't wait that long.

Oh, yeah, I've got revision this

week, anyway, so

Oi! Dickhead.

Eugh, ugh, ugh!

What are you doing? Coming now.

Oh, my God, that girl is shameless.

See you later.

Laters.

TO HERSELF: "Laters".

f*ck's sake, Beth.

What are you doing with

that old, dry puss?

She asked where I got my bag from.

Ugh. Why? It's gross.

Hey, I like her bag. Oh, is it fat,

if I get chips?

Don't f*cking say yes. No, it's not,

it's fine if you have it with

a bottle of water,

because it helps you digest.

Seriously, what,

you just drink water? Yeah.

That's a known thing.

Come on. I'm hungry and I'll punch

you in the face, if I don't eat.

God, you're so dramatic! Lyd!

I dare you to tell that old woman

you've been mugged and need a fiver.

Oh, my God. Oh, brilliant, she's

straight on it.

Please, madam, please, yeah?

There's been an attack.

Just £5 is all I need. I beg of you!

The old bag. Unbelievable!

Your turn.

I dare you to go in there -

tell Tony Chippy

you'll give him a BJ for a free chip

butty. Oh, f*ck off,

that's disgusting! Don't do that.

Get in there! fon

Get in. Get in.

All right? All right?

Um

Sorry, I'm just-just having a look.

I'll give you a clue - chips in a

bag, chips in a bap

or chips with a fish.

Um Do you do pop, as well?

What's that, Scotch mist?

Oh, yeah.

How much is a chip butty? £1.80.

How about I give you a blow job,

instead?

I think you need to set your rates

a bit higher, love.

There you go, that's on me.

You owe me, yeah?

Ta, Tone! Thanks, Tony!

Cheers, Tone! Love you, Tone!

Where's my girl? I'm here.

Oh, I'm out of puff.

Let me rest my trotters.

SHE GROANS

Are you all right?

Well, my knee is stiffer than

a dead perv's todger,

I've got moths in my purse and I've

been doing double shifts down

the bingo to pay off my catalogue,

but, well, at least I'm beautiful.

Yeah.

What's that?

Um, my teacher gave it to me.

It's the poem that I wrote.

Do you want to see?

Ah! Well

You clever little b*tch.

Oh, look at that, eh?

Yeah, that's another string

to your bow, that is. Thanks, Na

Will you photocopy it for me?

Yeah, I will.

Right, are you ready?

Yeah, before we go in, I've been

having a think

and, er, say no if you want, but

what do you think about

coming to live

with me for a bit?

I mean, I don't like the thought

of you coming up here on your own

and, well, I don't trust your father

as far as I can throw him.

What about school?

It's like three buses, innit?

Well, there's schools up the

Valleys, isn't there?

What? Move schools? Only for a bit.

See you later.

I-I can't. I can't leave, I can't.

Well, have a think about it. OK.

Right, let's kick

this in the d*ck, then. Yeah.

She was on the Bedwyn Ward before,

why have you moved her?

She had a spot of bother with

another patient,

so we just moved her into a more

secure ward. What's their n

Step back, please, Tariq. Step back.

Go and sit back down. All right?

In you go.

Let the door close, Tariq.

Let the door close.

This locks automatically,

so no-one can get in.

When you're ready to leave, give

this a ring and I'll escort you out.

Christ, it's like Fort Knox, innit?

There's a panic button over there,

if you need it.

f*ck my old boots. She hasn't been

anywhere like this before, has she?

Nan, someone's looking at me.

Oh, f*ck!

Oh f*ck. Sh! Oh, f*ck! f*ck, f*ck.

He's not even blinking. Oh, my God.

He's scary.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

You're so loud.

Can you keep your voice down.

DISTANT SHOUTING

Open this!

I'll have three cups of tea now.

Got 'em waiting on me hand

and foot. Think I'm royalty.

Wondered when you'd show your face.

Heard I won the lottery, did you?

Oh, you have, have you?

That's lovely, love. Do you fancy

lending me a tenner? Alway

Eh, chuck a couple of them

down your trap.

Pff! What happened

with that other patient?

Which one? Well, they moved you.

Ah, yeah, I'm a true speaker.

Speaking truths and scaring people.

Just facts. OK. Can't deal with it.

TARIQ: Open the door!

Open this, now!

Nan! What do you want?!

I can give you the world.

I can give you the universe. Nan./

I can make his dreams come true.

Don't mess about!

Get out the way, get out the way.

You should be grovelling to me. Sit

down. Don't speak to me like that!

Open the f*cking door!

WOMAN: No, that's enough now. Tariq!

Why don't you go

and sit back down. Come on.

Don't worry, Beth, it's fine.

Nice facilities, though. Yeah.

Do you want a grape, now, love

SHE SNORTS

Why not?! Go all out.

Do you want one? You

have one. Everybody has a grape.

All right. Nice. Missed you.

Missed you, too.

My girls. Thanks for coming.

I've missed you.

Dyl, you home?!

Beth is famous!

Oh, my God, what the hell?

He's disgusting. Oh, my God, Nan.

What are you doing, barging in?

Oh, put your filthy d*ck

away, you dirty f*ck.

What she's doing

home from school now?

It's 6 o'clock. You'd know that,

if you weren't so pissed.

I didn't know, I thought

it was early.

Well, you never thinks.

Wash your stinking hands.

That's men for you, Beth.

Always time for a tug.

Well, this place is a mess.

Sorry, Beth. Doing my head in not

having your mother here.

TO HERSELF: I wish you were dead.

It's fine.

There's not

a stitch of grub in here.

What do you think she eats, then?

Fresh air, is it?

I don't know. Gina does all

that. Give over, Mam, I got

a splitting headache.

Stop drinking cider like

it's going out of fashion, then.

Oh, piss off, the pair of you,

while I cleans.

Go on, get out! Go on, Beth.

Flipping heck.

VOICES FROM TV

I whipped that from next door.

Go and get your father the red

sauce. He's got legs.

Don't start. Go on.

Dyl. Dyl, Dyl, come here.

Come here, here, here.

Come on, come on.

Have you been to see her?

I can't hack hospitals,

you knows that.

They've got her caged up, mind.

Bethan shouldn't be going there on

her own, it's not safe.

Now, there's a reason that

she's having a special dinner.

Show your father the book.

No, it's stupid. No, it's not./

Get it.

She's been printed in a book.

Oh, is it?

the glue that binds

The knot that ties

Two warring sides

Oil and water

These bricks and mortar

The wrong daughter.

Yeah, good, that.

TELEVISION: They're really sweet

and delicious.

See that, Mum. She gets that

from me, she does.

Give over, you couldn't spell

your own name till you were ten.

HORN HONKS

Who's that, then?

Your fancy man, is it?

No, that's bingo caller Carl,

he's a poof.

Don't bring men like that here.

Men like that mean I can come

and clean you up, pet,

because you've been too busy blowing

cash you ain't got, up your nose.

Lunch money.

And have a think about what

I said, OK?

QUIETLY: OK.
