01x13 - Fight

[bunniefuu]

It is Friday morning PE class

and Joe Connolly is calculating
his chances of survival.

- Bet you can't catch this!
- I bet I can easy!

Hahahahaha!

Steve Malek
and Charlie Longmore.

One by one, pupils are paired
off for tackling practice.

Frisbo and Pete Wilson.

If he's to survive,
there are three people

he must not be paired with.
Number 1 is Ryan Ross.

He enjoys fire,
owns a pet gecko called Martin

and has been known
to bite fellow students.

Number 2 is Sam Wheatley.
Slipped in dog poo last Tuesday

and has yet to clean his PE kit.

Joe Connolly and--

- Number 3, and the worst--
- Dean Jackson.

Dean Jackson.

Oh no.

Dean Jackson.
Year 7 rugby captain.

Shotgun not on pads first.

Has size 13 feet and plays
for the local adult's side.

You're with Joe Connolly?

Yeah, I know!

This is it.
Joe's moment to prove himself.

Come on! You can do this!

Now boys, you ready?

Wait for the whistle!

Joe Connolly swallows his fear.

Bravery
courses through his veins...

..and in the face of danger,

he rises to the challenge
and proves he can--

AGGGH! Ah! Ah, ah, ow!

Ow!

Ow.

Joe.

Ow! Joe!

Joe Connolly, this is
rugby training not the UFC!

But I, I, I--

Changing rooms, now!

- Did you see that?
- Yeah, I saw the whole thing.

Here he is then.
Mr Smackdown himself!

Huh?

Is it true Mr Gale had to like,
pull you off him?

Joe can't quite
put his finger on what

but something is wrong.

I can't believe we missed it.

- Bruiser!
- Joe Connolly?

Mate! You battered Dean Jackson!

Then it clicks. It's a mistake.
A mistake Joe must corre--

I did batter Dean Jackson!

Did you hear Joe Connolly
beat up Dean Jackson?

Joe Connolly? He's cray-cray.

I saw it ALL! Dean was
so embarrassed he went home.

I heard it took four teachers
to stop him.

- A fight? Is Joe OK?
- Of course he is.

Hot Molly says he's got
a black belt in Kung Fu.

I heard he hit him so hard

he got sucked
into another dimension.

- Ow!
- Hey! I'm walking here!

Joe Connolly! Sorry!

- Sausage and chips please!
- Sorry love, we're all out!

Oh, what! But he just got so--

Oh. Thanks.

Nice one Joe!
Even the girls are impressed.

Told ya!

For the first time, Joe feels
like he could take on the world.

Suddenly, there is
no challenge too big.

Can anyone open this?

I can!

Ha! You're my hero Joe Connolly.

No achievement beyond his reach.

You can only be chief
business person of this business

if you beat me
in an arm wrestle.

And finally, Joe could
settle some old scores.

Are you the one that beat up
Dean Jackson?

Mmm-hmm, yep.

That's what happens
when you mess with Joe Connolly.

Dean's my cousin.

- You and me after school.
- Why?

We're gonna fight.

Lee Jackson. Year 10.
Has been excluded six times

and has been rumoured
to punch walls as a hobby.

It's 5th period and Joe Connolly
has two hours to live.

An hour and a half
left to--

Joe Connolly
has one hour left to live.

One hour until
he has to fight Lee Jackson.

I didn't beat up Dean Jackson!

Yeah you did. Everyone says so.

No! No one saw
what really happened.

Frisbo, think about it.
This is me.

Ah!

- Hmm. Oh yeah.
- Makes sense.

I'm supposed to fight
Lee Jackson in an hour.

Actually, half an hour.

There's no way
that was thirty minutes!

Ah. Please help me.

My mate faked appendicitis
and they took him to hospital.

Yeah, yeah, that could work!
What happened to him?

He had surgery.
They took his appendix out!

Tell him you're psychic and you
can destroy him with your mind.

Why not actually
destroy him with your mind?

He's not actually psychic.
Are you?

No!

OK, than why don't you
just tell the truth?

You didn't beat Dean up
and you don't wanna fight.

Like a bolt of lightning,
it hits Joe.

Pete is right.
The only thing he can do is--

Obviously he can't
do that! Good one, Pete!

Ha, yeah. Good one, Pete.

As the bell rings out,
Joe feels the impending doom.

His fate is sealed.

What am I gonna do?

Shame. You'd be fine if
Lee wanted to fight during PE.

Yeah, Mr Gale
doesn't let anyone fight.

Mr Gale!

It's 3.30 and time for Joe
to meet Lee Jackson.

- I'll go to the staff room.
- I'll go to his office.

Wherever that is.

Joe take a deep breath,
puts his fear to one side,

and steps forward
into the abyss.

Fight. Fight.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Fight! Fight! Fight!

- Fight! Fight!
- OK.

Fight! Fight!

Miss, have you seen Mr Gale?

- Try his classroom.
- Fight! Fight!

Hands trembling, Joe has
never known fear like this.

But he walks on.

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Pete Wilson!
No running in the corridors!

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Oh no!

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Suddenly, everything becomes
crystal clear.

It doesn't matter
if Joe is tough.

- Fight starts now.
- Or not.

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry,
sorry! I don't wanna fight!

- What?
- I never beat up Dean!

It was an accident!

I was just trying
to get out of the way!

You're not worth it.

And just like that,
it's all over.

There'll be no more fighting.

You leave Joe alone!

Woohoo! Yeah! Yes!

Ow!

What on earth
is going on here?

More UFC?

The day is over.
As is Joe Connolly's first,

and hopefully last, fight.

Lee Jackson.

Lee Jackson!

Yet somehow, it feels OK.

He wouldn't give up this moment
for all the chips in the world.

D'you hear Joe Connolly
got beat up by a girl?

I know!
