01x20 - Breaking Up

Post by bunniefuu »

Wow! What is there
left to say, Year 7?

You've played a blinder.

This is Joe Connolly...

Number 1. You've all achieved
so much this year.

And he has achieved a lot
this year.

He now knows 3 songs
on the recorder,

has had 3 girlfriends,
zero slow dances,



and has successfully
used the boys' toilet for a--

Number 2.
You've made new friends,

and strengthened bonds
with old ones.

Best of all,
Joe repaired friendships.

Oi, give it back!

He'd do anything to keep them.

- Fried egg?
- Oh, yes please.

Go on then.

Even if it means he'll never

talk to Lily Scott again.

And as you make
the bold step up

to Year 8,
enjoy your last day.

And I've got a surprise
for you lot. Drum roll please!

A DVD!

Today is the last day of school.

Come on, it's Rumble
the Super Dog!

Today is the last day
of school. Nothing can go wrong.

Frisbo, you can go first.


Ah! You lose!

-Loser!
- Another game?

Nah.

I'll set it up. I don't mind.

A best friend always knows
when something is wrong.

And right now
something is very wrong.

Frisbo?
You lose your shoe again?

Nah.

Did you finally try to eat
a whole jar of mustard?

I CAN do it. But no.

- He fancies Kayla Madani.
- How did you--

Mate, you're always staring at
her!

- See? You just did it again!
- Shut up, no I didn't!

You do?

Also you wrote it on this paper.

Okay. Fine. I do!

If Joe's friend likes a girl...

I think I actually
quite like her.

..He'd do anything to help.

You should ask her out.

Oh yeah! You should!

Does he have a moustache?

Kayla Madani.

Kayla Madani. Known for
a fluffy pen collection

and an excellent elephant
impression.

After only 23 lessons
of science,

Kayla and Frisbo discovered
they had something in common.

Physics is boring.

Yeah, Physics IS boring!

With Joe's help, Kayla
and Frisbo would fall in love,

on the moon
where they'll all live.

Wazzuurrgghh!

They'd grow old together,

live in a space igloo,
with their space baby.

Hello, ickle space baby!

For the last time,
stop calling her a space baby!

Having been born in space,

the space baby
would have super powers.

He really is the best friend.

Joe? JOE?

- Joe? Will you do it?
- What?

Ask her out for me? Pete says
I'm not meant to do it.

Yeah, so how it works is one
of US need to ask of HER mates,

and then THEY ask her for us.

Makes sense.

Joe Connolly would do anything
for his best friend.

- I will do it.
- Nice one!

You know you'll have to
speak to...

- Haha! SNAP!

Lily Scott. Kayla's best friend.

Joe Connolly has not spoken
to Lily Scott in 18 days,

and he will never
speak to her again.

Apart from one last time.

- Oh! Joe!
- But Joe is in control.

- He knows exactly what to say.
- Frisbo fancies Kayla!

Her!

Has he done it?
Is he okay?

All we can do is watch...

..and hope.

SHE SAYS YES!

Now Joe is certain.
He truly IS the best friend.

Cheers, mate.

Mission accomplished.

Now he will never again
speak to--

] Joe?

Kayla says she's glad
they're going out,

and you look nice today.

Oh cheers... you too!

No. Um... not you.
Frisbo.

Oh.

Kayla says
she's glad you're going out,

and that you
look nice today.

Nice.

You should say
she looks nice too.

- Girls love that stuff.
- Good one! Tell her that, Joe!

- What? But... I thought--
- Come on, mate!

Joe will talk to Lily again.

Frisbo says that his favourite
is probably Deadly Viper 9.

And again.

Because apparently,
there are more

deadly vipers
in that one.

Oh, I'll have to see that one.

And she says once in Majorca,
she got stung by a jellyfish.

And again.

Did you know,
jellyfish don't have brains?

No way! I heard jellyfish
are older than dinosaurs!

Woah. Madness.

That one looks
just like a moped.

Look! That one looks
just like a bichon frise.

A what?

A bichon frise.
It's a cute, fluffy--

No, I know. I just--

Hey! What are you guys up to?

We thought Kayla and Frisbo
should eat lunch together.

I can eat a whole
jar of mustard.

Lily, come on! Bye.

See ya!

Oh... bye!

Hmm...

- What?
- Nothing. Just... You and Lily.

Erm... No?
Dunno what you're talking about.

It just so happens we're both
mates with Frisbo and Kayla.

Hey Joe, could you ask Kayla
something for me?

Definitely!

Dump her?! But why?

Guess we didn't have
as much in common as I thought.

But what about... Physics?

We'll always have Physics.

Joe would do anything
for his best friend.

- Including this.
- Okay then.

Woooo!

- Do you like Snake Island?
- What? Um... yeah.

Great. I was thinking,
Kayla and Frisbo

should go and see
Snake Island 3 this weekend.

Us too?

- I love Snake Island.
- Cool! See you there then.

But Joe would not see her then
because he has to--

Okay. See you then!

Did you do it?

Joe did not do it.

- Yes.
- Cheers, mate!

Joe has not told Kayla
that Frisbo wants to break up.

Nor has he told Frisbo
that he has yet to tell Kayla.

Luckily, he's in the relative
safety of Rumble the Super Dog.

- Is that Kayla?
- Why's she coming here? Weird!

- Dunno.
- Hey Frisbo.

Should we sit together?

All Joe can do is watch.

- Oh. Is that normal?
- What?

I didn't think we were meant to
keep talking after... you know...

After what?

Well, after I... dumped you.

No offence.

You dumped me?

Yeah, well, I mean Joe di--
Wait...

- Oh no.
- Joe, did you..?

You said we'd go to the cinema.

Can someone tell me
what happened?

I can't believe
you'd do this to me!

Oi! Quiet! Film's starting!

Joe Connolly
is the worst friend.

After this betrayal,
Frisbo will never forgive him.

Now, Joe, for our main prize,

you can win a special voucher
for forgiveness!

From your best friend!

What animal does
a tadpole grow into?

Um... erm...

Now do remember,
you can still call a friend.

Call a friend! Call a friend!

Okay, I'll call a friend.

No friends. No school.
Joe Connolly has nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

"He's right, detective, what do
we do with all this ice cream?"

"You said it, Rumble!"

Wow, gets me every time!

Well, congratulations, Year 7.

I can't wait to hear about
your summer adventures.

Class... dismissed!

Frisbo?

- Alright?
- What?

Earlier, I should have
said about--

- But you didn't, did you?
- Joe, just tell him.

It's just... I...

What?

- Lily?
- No!

- It's...
- It's definitely her.

Joe Connolly
has learnt his lesson.

And there's
only one thing left--

Yes! Fine!
For some reason,

I can't stop thinking
about Lily Scott.

And apparently, I'll do anything
to have a conversation with her,

and now WE'RE not
best friends anymore.

You should tell her that.

Yeah, like I'll
tell her that! Good one.

So you really like Lily Scott?

Yes, I really like Lily Scott.

Alright, Lily!

Lily?!

Wait... You DO still
wanna be best friends?

- You dodo!
- Eh, me too!

And in an instant,

Joe can see he still has
his best friends.

And perhaps,
he has his happy ending.

Lily Scott
had heard Joe's words.

She now understood
why he hadn't told her.

There are a million things
she could say

and for a moment, she is frozen

by the sheer number
of possibilities.

Alright?
