01x06 - Episode 6

Post by bunniefuu »

As you're aware,

the luncheon fundraiser

is taking place this afternoon.

Our benefactors, who invest

a great deal of interest

in St Gilbert's, will be attending.

It's very important that

things run smoothly.

What's going on?

St Gilbert's is on lockdown.

Order of the King.

Give me that mobile phone.

Thank you. Please don't lose this!

This is the bag for

all your mobile phones, tablets

and any other devices

that you use for social media.

And this is the amnesty bag for

all your alcohol, all your drugs,

all your non-prescribed medicines

and glues.

In your pocket, son.

I'll have them all, please

and thank you.

What does that have to do with me?

You need to show them

that their time

and interest have been well spent.

One of your duties as the new

head boy.

Head boy? What the f?

What happened to Felix?

Mr Watlington-Geese was

asked to step down

after his behaviour

at the Carruthers Challenge.

Argh! You shot me in the eye!

LAUGHS

Why me?

I can't think of a better

person for the role.

Right. It's just, you know, after

the whole police and Omar thing,

the timing's a bitweird, right?

You don't have to accept it.

What would I have to do in return?

Aside from being a model student

and the usual day-to-day duties

of the head boy, it is a tradition

for the holder of the position

to give the Latin address

at the luncheon this afternoon.

Latin? As in the language?

Mm. I know the timescale is tight

..but I think you are

up to the challenge.

And it's the one day our sponsors

come together.

And what do I get from it?

Prestige. A chance to show

all the extremely influential people

in attendance that you

have become head boy

at one of the most distinguished

schools in the country.

A chance to show those that pay

for you, those that doubted you

..what a success it's been

and that they would be lucky to have

someone like you in their circle.

Benefactors, parents, the board.

The board? So Carol will be there?

Would you like her not to be?

Yeah.

Done.

There are big changes

happening at St Gilbert's.

This is an outrage.

You know you can't come in this room

and turn everything upside-down!

Just doing my job, son.

And I'll tell you something -

you have a serious problem.

I'm a connoisseur, darling.

Oh, hang on a minute,

hang on a minute.

There's something you're

not telling me. There's nothing.

There's something. There's got to be

something. There's nothing at all.

You're panicking.

I can see it in your eyes, Parmesan.

Oh! Oh, the lampshade!

It's the lampshade!

No, no, no, there's nothing there.

Oh! Oh! Stop, stop!

Oh-h*-h*! Bingo!

Not my 1963! Stanley, Stanley,

Stanley, Stanley! Woo!

Aha! What a catch!

Stanley, please, not my 1963!

Stanley!

It's all right.

Stanley!

I'll get it back! Hey, hey

DOOR BANGS SHU

That's my one.

Dickhead.

SIGHS

So, this will be your office,

which you will share

with Miss Chaplin-Jones.

The dress code for the luncheon

is formal.

Now, Gus has made me aware

that none of you have such items,

so I've sourced a small amount

of money for you all

to purchase something suitable.

I trust you will

do that in your free period.

Congratulations, Mr Marsham.

Thank you, sir.

PHONE RINGS

I got it.

Hello?

What are you doing out of school?

Hey! Why? You in trouble?

Give me that phone.

Hello?

Hello, Grandma.

What's the matter? What you done?

You in trouble?

That's what I just said!

Get your bag and go along to school!

All right!

What's wrong?

I haven't done anything.

I just called to say, erm

..I got head boy.

Grandma?

Nuh betta mess it up.

Uh, thank you, Grandma.

I'm serious, Jaheim! This is big.

Big for you,

big for your lickle brother. Yeah.

For him to see how far you've come,

to see where he can get to.

I know.

I'm very proud of you.

Make the best of this opportunity.

You hear?

Yeah, I hear you, Grandma.

All right, cool.

Thank you. Bye. Bye.

What, so you're listening

to my conversations now, are you?

It's cute. You're a softie.

You are head boy, Jaheim! Very cool.

Unlike this shop.

These clothes are actually whacked.

SCOFFS

Oh. Excuse me.

Have you got this in a 38?

Thank you so much.

All right. I'll go and check for

you. Thank you. Thank you.

Yep, guys, let's wrap it up.

Let's go to the next shop.

We can't. It's not cash,

it's vouchers.

This guestlist is insane.

Oh, yeah, Bernard said

I had to memorise them.

Apparently, he's going

to introduce me or something.

Jaheim!

CHUCKLES

You've got to bring me in.

This guy here, Lonnie Calerflit,

he runs CG&T Tech.

They have offices

all over the world.

This guy's always talking

about work and that.

Yeah, that's what we're here for.

Think bigger.

CHUCKLES

Right, come on, we'll all wear

matching suits!

Why's everything a joke to you?

We barely got out of your bullshit

with the drugs.

Can you act like you've got

sense for one day?

OK, all right, cool.

Chill out, all right?

I'll bring you in, yeah?

You know why?

We got the power now.

THEY CHUCKLE

Yes, oga. All right, all right.

Chill out, chill out,

chill out, chill out.

OK, OK.

LOUD CLINKING

What?

You do realise by accepting

head boy

you're becoming complicit

in everything that's gone on?

Look, I think Jaheim being

head boy's a good thing.

For all of us.

And we're fine. Honestly, Leah.

Especially me.

Leah, why are you making this

a thing?

Nobody ended up in a prison cell.

Wait, so that makes it OK?

OK, then, so what's the alt?

Please. The only reason you accepted

that Croc Charm Jibbitz thing

is because you get days off

and do less work.

And what do we have to do in return?

What, we go to that event

and tap-dance for Carol?

She's not coming.

Yeah.

He asked me if I wanted her there,

I said no.

That's the power that this little

Croc Charm Jibbitz thing has.

That's what having

a seat at the table means.

But you wouldn't know that,

would you?

But if you're uncomfortable,

maybe you shouldn't come.

Oh, I'm coming.

What's that supposed to mean?

Hiya. Do you have something

that shows a little more thigh?

Erm Thank you.

Give me a moment.

Hello?

Hi.

What you doing?

Work.

OhI'm so horny.

Mmlittle quickie?

I don't have time. Oh, come on,

that's why it's called a quickie.

Not in here. All right. Well, do you

want to come round to mine later?

Won't Omar be there?

I'll kick him out.

Don't do that.

You've never minded before.

Well, it was different before.

What do you mean?

You are all everyone's

talking about.

I've defended so much of

the messed-up sh*t you've done,

but what you did to Omar -

it's embarrassing for me.

Look, Omar and I,

we're cool, honestly.

We're back to farting on each

other's beds again, like old times.

All right?

I'm sorry, all right?

I really am, OK?

Come here.

KNOCK ON DOOR

PHONE BUZZES

BUZZING CONTINUES

sh*t.

LAUGHS QUIETLY

Care to share the joke?

Nah, it's just

..it was meant to be a one-time

thing. Now look at us.

I had to sneak past two cameras and

a housemaster just to get in here.

Yeah.

Well, I have hockey practice, so

Magnus.

He's an ex.

H-He's texting me.

I-I'm not texting him.

Thought it was important for you

to know that.

Why?

Just didn't want you to think

I was seeing anyone else.

But if you're seeing anyone else,

then that's

..cool.

Cool.

I ain't seeing anyone else.

Cool. Soneither of us

are seeing anyone else.

So

..does that, like

..make us, like, a

..thing?

Iguess that makes us

..a thing.

Seriously, I have hockey practice.

SUCKS TEETH

Bloodclaat!

Money.

SUCKS TEETH

Ugh.

I heard about Miss Goodlow

and your connections to

influential people in Russia.

"Oh, she's Russian, her dad drives a

big black car - she must be mafia."

You shouldn't believe

everything you're told.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

So if it's not true,

why don't you correct people?

Fear gets results.

I guess we can both play people's

perceptions of us to our advantage.

Goodbye, Toby.

Mr Calerflit, lovely to meet you.

I understand recently you opened

a site inBeijing.

How's that going?

LAUGHS FALSELY

That's a good one, sir!

Femi!

Hi, darling, take a sip of this!

Come here, baby!

Darling!

Have a sip of this.

Oh, my God!

Yeah, yeah?

What the hell is it?!

Moonshine, baby.

Baby, moonshine, hooch.

Where did you get it from?

Made it in the science lab, baby.

Oh, baby, baby, baby! Baby, baby!

Doesn't that sh*t

take weeks to make?

That's what the science lab

was for, baby.

FEMI LAUGHS

You're all going to die.

What else were we going to do?

You know, Master took

everything from us, literally.

Everything. Mate, for all

that is holy,

stop banging on about your

1960 whatever.

Right. You, drink, now.

I can't.

It's OK. Aw No, I

Oh, it's OK!

THEY BABBLE AND COO

Baby, look, look, look -

one little, baby, tiny sip,

and then you can go back to your

pretty, pretty little pink

flash cards. Ooh! No

SIGHS

All right.

SPUTTERS

THEY LAUGH

FEMI COUGHS

Oh!

Oh, bye-bye, liver!

Hey, Abby.

You should've seen the dead place

they took us to go shopping.

Oh, my God.

What's this?

It's a letter.

Really?

Because it reads like a speech.

"Mr Ashford stands before us

claiming himself to be

"a supporter of a more diverse

and progressive St Gilbert's.

"However, he has continued

to allow racism

"and racists to permeate through

the very fabric of this school,

"showing himself to not only be

incompetent, but a liar.

"He"

Are you going to read this

at the event?

Look, you wouldn't understand,

so it's OK.

Oh, don't patronise me! Leah.

I'm just as hurt by this as you are,

but this could cost my dad his job -

and if he's gone, I'm gone too.

You can just get

another scholarship. What?!

Like one of yours?

You know this will f*ck you too.

And not just you,

possibly all of you.

You don't care.

Cos it's all about you, Leah.

As long as your integrity is intact.

Auro pavi Fiat terra caelum stet

Oh, man.

Flippin' hell, man.

SHUTTER CLICKS

LAUGHS

This guy, bruv.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Come in.

Wow. Erm

Erm

You look nice.

Why have I been summoned?

I wanted to see you, innit?

You made a Year 7 come to my door

because you wanted to see me?

I'm sorry.

The way I spoke to you in London,

I shouldn't have done that, so

I'm sorry too.

I tend to say the wrong thing.

Yeah, I know.

Your badge is on wrong.

Is it? Mm. Don't lie to me.

No, no! It's on the wrong side.

OK. It's incredibly embarrassing.

Erm..

How do you take this off?

It's just a badge. Let me.

OK.

DOOR OPENS

What's going on here?

I was just congratulating

the new hard boy

Sorry. Sorry, head boy.

Course you were.

So, are you coming with Abby and I,

or are you stepping out together?

I thought Abby was going with Leah.

They've fallen out. Wait. Why?

Apparently, Leah's going to drop

some truth bombs at the event.

God knows what that means.

Quite frankly, I'm tired

of their relationship.

Right. Let's go. Erm

See you there?

Erm, yeah. Yeah.

FLUTE MUSIC AND CHATTER

Why do all of my students

have faces like smacked arses?

Well, maybe because you

confiscated their smart devices

and their access to the internet.

Not to mention

the raid on their dorms.

They're saying

you're losing control.

Bernard the Tyrant. Yep.

Never good news with you two, is it?

Well, everyone's made the connection

that it's to do with

the incident with Omar.

Like, you should've dealt with it

ages ago, like we told you to.

It's too late for

would've, could've, should've.

You look fantastic.

The word prick

has been thrown around.

Well, Julius Monroe, dressed

as a prick 1974, he now runs

Runs one of the biggest

pharmaceutical

and biotechnology companies

in Europe.

And that is Lonnie Calerflit.

Dressed like prick in '71

and runs CG&T Tech, employs

6,000 people across five sites

across the world,

and he's your biggest donor.

And I hear

he gives out internships here.

You'd like to meet him?

I think we all would, yeah.

All right.

Preeya, can you round up

Toby, Femi, Omar and Leah, please?

I'd like to introduce them

to Mr Calerflit.

Maybe notMaybe not Leah.

Why not? She's

..not around today.

She's here, she just

Forget what I just said.

Listen, erm, this is

an important day for all of us,

but especially for you, Jaheim.

And I just want you to shine.

OK, yeah.

So, should Leah be at this event?

Erm

..m-maybe not.

Woohoo! Wow.

You look stunning.

I look like old lady wallpaper,

but thanks. I'll take it.

How are you? Depends.

What do you want?

Oh, it's nothing serious.

So, that's why Stanley's

standing by? Oh.

We understand you wanted to

raise a couple of concerns today.

So, I was just thinking,

why don't we look at an appropriate

time in the diary and we can

talk about the portrait, and then

The portrait? Preeya, you don't need

to worry about me.

I'll keep my mouth shut.

I understand

today's bigger than just me.

Look, I'm sure Abby told you

not to trust me or whatever,

but I'm literally just here

to support Jaheim.

Maybe even brok a 2-2 move

to some classical tunes.

I promise.

Actuallyit WAS Jaheim that told

us that you might say something.

I'm really sorry, Leah.

You know what?

I really wish I'd been as tenacious

as you when I was at school.

Excuse me.

Oh, Carol's here. Look.

Simon, how are we?

Lovely to see you.

Oh, how gorgeous to see you too.

I'm sorry to interrupt. Can I?

Thank you.

What are you doing here?

I'm seated chair.

Couldn't exactly have missed this.

How would that have looked?

I explicitly barred you

from this event.

Let's not allow tiny squabbles

to get in the way of

St Gilbert's success.

You know your scholarships

need these donations.

We're a team, Bernard.

Chelsea, be a dear.

Let's get one of the board

with the scholarship kids.

Be great for the newsletter,

don't you think?

Of course.

I thought you said

she wasn't coming.

Yeah, well, things change.

We don't want her here.

I know. I know.

Let's just get a photograph.

Chelsea, gather the others around.

My predicted grades are all A-stars,

so I'm incredibly hopeful.

Hello!

Wagwan, sugar dumpling.

Excuse us, Mrs Shelling.

Of course, dear.

Mrs Shelling.

What are you wearing?

Chill! It's formal!

Toby, it's a fundraiser.

Not just in aid of your scholarship,

but mine too.

Ah, allow me.

It's a long story.

Are you embarrassed of me?

No, I'm not embarrassed,

I just don't know why

you always have to be the joke.

So I'm a joke?

Maybe we should meet up later.

Well, maybe I'm busy later.

OK.

All right, cool. Cool.

This isn't even the quickest

break-up I've had anyway, so

Does anyone else feel like

absolute sh*t?

THEY SNIGGER

What's funny?

I just can't believe that you're

still actually drinking that crap.

Aren't we all drinking

the same thing?

THEY LAUGH

Bellends!

Mr Calerflit.

Let's go.

Cheese! I'll bring you an espresso!

Hiya. Hi.

Calerflit, Calerflit, Calerflit.

Where's Leah?

I don't know, bro, I don't know.

HE CHUCKLES

Femi, bro, you stink!

Sh, sh, sh, sh,

don't make it a thing.

Where's Calerflit?

I want to meet him. No, no, no.

Not like this, bro.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You promised you would bring me in.

Today's not just about you, Jaheim.

What?

Toby, come on, bro.

Do I look like I'm in the mood?

You couldn't pattern up

for one day, though?

You look like a joke.

Do you want me to go get Leah?

She's not coming

cos she's not allowed. Why?

Cos she's just not

on the same timing as us.

What do you mean?

Look, Bernard found out, yeah,

that she was going to tell

everybody about what's going on.

How'd he find out?

Listen, bro, our scholarships

would've been on the line.

So, you snitched on Leah?

No, I didn't f*cking snitch on her,

all right?

I did what was needed.

SCOFFS

This head boy sh*t is getting

to your head.

f*cking snaky behaviour.

Whoa, watch your f*cking tone

and don't touch me, bro. Don't say

watch my tone, who you talking to?

I'm talking to f*cking you, bro!

Well, I'm not like everyone here,

you know -

I'll bang you in your face.

Go on, go on!

Look at you guys. It's great,

lovely!

Look how close you are for the

photo! Excellent!

B, how about we pop you in just

here, on this side of Toby there?

Excellent.

I thought you said she wasn't

coming. I did bro, I did. I

Let's just take this picture,

please, man.

Sorry. There we are.

Perfect, B, excellent.

Lovely smile.

B, yes, very nice.

Can I please stand somewhere else?

OK.

Perfect! Everybody say cheese!

GASPS

RETCHING

Oh, jeez!

I am sorry!

I'm not usually like this.

I think a few of them

have substance abuse problems.

I can see where Rupert gets it from,

cos clearly you're a c**t.

What the f*ck did you just say?

Ungh!

Mummy!

Get up. You're embarrassing me.

Omar! Get off, man!

You said she wouldn't be here.

You lied. I didn't, all right?

I didn't.

Please. You have to trust me.

Jaheim, Jaheim

Yo, let me help you.

Nah, you're good.

Go chill with your weirdo bredren.

Bro, what?

I'm doing this for you!

You won't f*cking appreciate it!

Ungrateful prick.

Wipe up the puke and then escort

everyone towards the stage.

SCOFFS

I'm going to make a short

Don't touch me.

I am going to make a short speech.

You will then follow

with your address.

Let's try and salvage what

we can of this utter shitshow.

Sir, I'm sorry, but no.

I have to go and find Omar and Femi.

And Toby.

And Leah.

I understand, Jaheim, I really do,

but there are certain duties

that come first.

To be quite frank, sir, I don't

give a I don't care any more.

OK. Let me put it this way.

If you don't perform, you go home -

and I don't mean your dorm,

I mean London.

Is that clear enough for you?

Sir, about my Armagn

Not another word out of you

about your 1963,

and I meant what I said, Jaheim.

Ahem. First of all, a warm welcome

to our honoured guests,

alumni, and friends of St Gilbert's.

And I would like to give you

a big thank you

for your continued support.

Your generosity has allowed us

not only to invest

in world-leading equipment

and buildings,

but also in the futures of bright

and often overlooked individuals,

one of whom I would like

to welcome onto the stage

to give our annual Latin address.

Our new head boy, Mr Jaheim Marsham.

APPLAUSE

Woo!

Erm, Mr Marsham?

THEY MOUTH

Oi! Cheddar's f*cking lost it!

CLAMOUR OF VOICES

Come on! Come on!

There's erm

..n-nothing to worry about, folks,

just

..just tuck into your nibbles.

Well, play your bloody flute!

CLAMOUR

BANGING

Out of my way!

What the hell is going on?

Someone told Tramley where

the confiscation cupboard was.

Mr Tramley!

Stop acting like a petulant child

and step away

from that door immediately!

I said immediately!

OK, let me tell you something.

It's not us,

it's not the scholarships -

it's you, sir.

If you spent just a little bit more

time getting your sh*t together,

then we wouldn't be

all so bloody miserable!

Do you know what I'd still have?

I'd still have my nineteen-sixty-

f*cking-three Armagnac!

Shut up.

I'll talk to the guests.

You try and keep this under control.

ALL SHOU

All right, you lot!

Those at the event,

get back there now,

and everyone else to your dorms!

I forgot about it already.

This is so amazing!

Yeah! Wait, huh? What?

Erm, actually, I don't know,

I don't know why I said that, sorry!

OK! I'm just excited!

Ugh

INDISTINC

Everyone thinks I'm a joke.

Me and you both, bro.

Who wears a tracksuit

to a fundraiser?

Bro, I sold my suit

to pay back Yelena.

Oh, Toby, no, no, no.

I was doing what you told me to.

Patterning up.

That doesn't add up.

We all got 150 for our suits.

Yeah, I sold it at a mark-up.

You act like a joke,

but you're definitely not one.

I think you're the smartest

person I know.

I'm jealous.

Femi, you just have to

apply yourself.

That's it. I wish it was that easy.

I stole Omar's essay.

Oh, yeah, I know.

So does Omar.

And he didn't say anything?

It's Omar.

Femi, you want my advice, yeah?

Wise up.

And I beg you, ditch those weird

old bredrens of yours.

Hey, Femi,

you know I love you, innit?

But apparently there's a madness

going off in the school.

Go, go, go, go. Yeah? I'll be fine.

Mate! What the heck

are you doing in here?

Why did you guys do that to me?

What are you talking about?

You're an absolute legend!

What? No. No, no, no. No.

Cheddar and Toes did a

similar thing to me last year

when we were in Rome.

Mixed Smirnoff with laxatives.

I sh*t my pants

queuing for the Colosseum.

It was f*cking hilarious!

How's that hilarious?

You're not upset, are you?

I really needed that internship.

Mate, if you want an internship,

just say.

My uncle runs a tech firm.

I'll just get you one.

Just like that?

Yeah, course, mate!

You're a rah'scal!

I'm a rah'scal.

CHATTER AND WHOOPING

THEY LAUGH

Leah, blood, you stabbed up that

painting like it owed you

money or something.

Mm-hm, I had to.

Nah.

You must've had a field day.

There was a lot of unclaimed

stuff in that cupboard.

Ooh.

Man, I'm not on all of that.

Is it?

I'm not on that, bro.

Seriously.

Let's just say I've turned

over a new leaf.

We'll leave it at that.

Look.

I bring confiscated goods.

All right.

Look.

I know you're not going to believe

me,

but I did not lie about Carol,

OK?

I didn't mean to get you banned,

all right?

Look, and I know

I wanted to take it all, I thought

I could take what I wanted, and

..I couldn't, all right?

I wanted to try and help all of us,

but it just turned out to be

selfish, and I know that now.

Sorry. I-I

..I know I shouldn't have trusted

him.

I don't know why I did

in the first place.

So, yeah.

I said it.

Day dot.

Watch how you get

taken into that sunken place.

That sh*t really hurt, Jaheim.

I know.

I'm sorry. Honestly.

Well, boy, it come like backstabbing

and being selfish is the main ethos

of this f*cking private school.

So, you're basically acing it,

innit?

CHUCKLES

Yeah, well, all that's done now.

I didn't play ball with Bernard,

so I am gone.

Boy, if you saw the way

she yinged up that picture.

You ain't the only one going home,

bro.

Facts.

Are you ready to go back home?

It's nuts.

Like, even after everything that

happened in this stupid place,

I'm going to miss it.

Is that crazy?

As messed up as this place is,

I think we all love it.

So, no,

I don't think that's crazy at all.

SNIFFLING

Hey, no, no, no.

None of that. Not on my watch.

Come on.

Come on. No need for that.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

It's cool.

♪ Now it's all over ♪

You want some too?

Yo, Jaheim, we still ain't heard

that little Latin jig

you were learning. Hey, hey!

You could do it right now!

You're going to think I'm a

dickhead.

Come on! I think you owe it to us,

Jaheim.

You definitely owe me.

Let's go, let's go,

let's go, let's go.

Shut up. I hate you!

THEY CHEER

Yeah!

All right, say nothing! Ooh!

ALL: Ooh!

ALERT CHIMES

Hi there.

Thank you all for coming at such

short notice.

And, oh, lovely shirt you've

got on there, Brian.

Oh, I think

you're on mute there, Brian.

Everyone is, I hate chitter-chatter

on these things.

So, the luncheon.

Care to explain?

Of course.

As you are aware, there was

an incident at the school.

Of course we're aware.

We were caught in the middle of it.

We want to know what you plan

to do about it.

Disciplinary

proceedings are in order.

You can't expel everyone.

You of all people should know

how schools like St Gilbert's

are funded.

There were ringleaders.

Some whose actions were

more severe than others.

The Carruthers painting was

destroyed, Bernard.

Someone needs to take the fall.

We have CCTV footage.

If you could unmute Stanley,

please, Carol.

Hello there. Firstly, I agree,

that is a lovely shirt, Brian.

Right, I'll just share my screen

with you guys

It's fine.

I-I have it from another angle.

What's happening?

This is it.

Nothing to worry about, sir.

The files are just, erm

..deleting themselves.

Seems like you're running

out of options, Bernard.

I've got you, Leah.

And goodbye.

SAT NAV: You've arrived at your

destination.

"f*ck with the status quo."

KNOCK ON DOOR

Come in.

I guess you'll be wanting this back.

That's why you called me here, so

We're not in the habit of handing

the title to just anybody, you know.

So, if you are awarded a position,

be sure to know you deserve it.

You are going to go on to great

things, Mr Marsham.

Go.

Sir.

Thank you.

FEEDBACK

MRS GOODLOW CLEARS THROA

As you're aware,

after the events at the luncheon,

Master Ashford will not be with us,

pending an investigation.

In the interim, please welcome your

acting head,

Mrs Watlington-Geese.

GASPS AND MURMURS

Master Ashford, what a tragedy.

But please rest assured that we

are moving swiftly to have the

matter resolved.

In the meanwhile, although my

position here is not permanent,

there's no reason why we can't shake

things up a bit now, is there?

MURMURING

You've got yourself very comfy,

very quickly.

Might as well make the most of it,

innit?

Might not be here for long, so

Yeah, probably not.

Well, whilst you are here

and we've all got our phones back,

we should probably announce

you on the school socials.

Yeah, go on, then.

Your pin should be on the other

lapel.

Beatrix said it

was on the right way.

Well, she's wrong.

There you go.

Thanks.

Smile!

We look good together.

Guess so.
