Original subtitles

Well, l've had Celine for 12 years.

She's... past it now, but in her day

she was quite the performer. She and l did trick shows.

We'd do little shows together with the hoops.

And... hoopies, go through. Come on.

Hoopies. Come through. Hoopies.

She might need some encouragement.

Come through the hoop, Celine. Come through the hoop.

Good, there we go. That's what she does. She'd jump four to five meters

above the ground with a run-up. She'd just dive through it.

She'd run run run and she'd go through the hoop and down.

She used to do a trick where she'd grab onto my arm.

She'd bite onto the sleeve and l'd swing her around.

We used to do multiplication tricks,

a little trick where l'd give her a simple multiplication sum.

Two times three is...

six. Go.

Step it out.

One, two-- step it out.

Come on. Three, four, five...

six. Well done.

And she loves a bit of a swing, don't ya?

Swing. Swing.

And the wonderful thing is...

out she comes. Can she walk?

Yes, she can, but see, she'll go to the side.

That's 'cause of the-- the dizziness...

that she gets. See? Oop oop.

No, that's not the front. Go to the front.

Do you want a smack? You'll get one.

There we go.

And that's what happens when you leave her to do something on her own.

The shit has well and truly hit the fan this week.

There's been major major creative interference with the arena spectacular.

Annabel Dickson's parents have read the script

and they've decided that l cannot use their daughter's story for my musical.

10 days out from opening night, l just--

l cannot fathom the selfishness of it.

So l've spent the last couple of days-- strapped myself to the beast--

and l think l may have come up with something.

- Have you done near the canteen? - Yes.

l'll be focusing more on the Mr. G character

and looking at his influence on the kids, the drugs and whatnot.

And these are the posters that we've had done.

We're going with ''Mr. G, The Musical''

as the name of the show.

♪ My name is Mr. G ♪

♪ Three talents, one, two, three... ♪

Sell it out to me, please. Play to the arena.

♪ Singing, dancing and acting is my life... ♪

The character of Mr. G in this new reworked show,

he's a Jesus-type figure, if you like.

He preaches to the kids about their-- you know, their issues.

♪ ln a world of crazy kids... ♪

But he can't help young Jessica,

who's similar to the Annabel character.

She gets involved in drugs

and she eventually dies of an overdose at the end of act two.

She doesn't listen to Mr. G's advice.

♪ At Summer Heights High! ♪

Uh, please, hoisters.

So you guys might want to look through that,

get some ideas. Ask me if you need any advice.

We'll have a stretch limo with sunroof in the back.

So the nightclub's called Blind.

- lt's really cool. The DJ is so good. - Really?

- ls he hot? - He's awesome.

- Most expensive DJ in the country. - Wow.

And we're gonna have him at our formal.

- This is unbelievable, Ja'mie. - l know.

- You have done the best job. - l plan a good formal. l told you.

At first l thought it was a bit pricey and stuff...

- No. - ...but considering the venue.

- 450 is good. - We'll go sell tickets at lunch again.

Grab-- grab one of these. We will have to split up.

We're on the committee. We don't have to buy tickets, right?

No, we're not buying tickets. No, we're doing so much work.

Committee members do not buy tickets.

- Yeah. - Oh my God, guys-- issue.

l had a girl come up to me on the playground

asking me whether she could go to the formal

with another girl...

- Are you serious? - ...and not as a joke thing.

- Actually as a lesbian? - Full-on lesbians, yeah.

- Eww. - l just don't think

we should be letting them come.

Like, l don't want to be a bitch,

but l just-- l feel like there

might be an easy way that we can discourage them, you know?

Like, if we just said to them,

''We'd prefer it if you didn't come.''

Actually, l think lesbians are really in at the moment.

There's some really hot lesbians--

lt'd be really accepting of us.

They'd drag things down. We've got the most awesome night planned

and l don't want to be, like, upstaged by a bunch of dykes.

- Tamsin Walker. - Tamsin Walker.

- Have you seen her? - ls she a lesbian?

- She's hot. - With the black hair.

- Yeah, l know her. - All the guys love her.

- She's really hot. - They love her.

And when you think about it, like,

do you want this formal to be remembered,

- like, to stand out? - Serious.

l guess it's cool, but l, for one, do not want to see Tamsin Walker

pashing some chick on the dance floor at our formal.

lt's our night.

So you guys reckon-- shut up.

Does everyone reckon it would be cool if the lesbians came?

- l think it's fine. - lf you guarantee me it's a cool thing,

- and it's gonna make us look good... - l'm telling you it's cool.

...then l think we should to it.

Ashley, write that down. ''All lesbians allowed to the formal.''

We'll go find them at lunch and tell them.

Lesbian issue sorted. Let's get on with the rest of it.

Dresses-- when are we shopping and where?

And if you're getting extensions done,

you need to start planning like me.

We looked like dickheads.

That was fantastic, wasn't it?

- Very stirring. - Look, little homo's laughing again.

l'll fuckin' kill the little fucker.

l'm gonna bash the shit out of that little fucker.

Fucking Pedophile Pete for making us do this shit.

Before we finish, l'd like to thank our special celebrity guest today,

Trevor, the winner of ''Big Brother 4.''

Thank you very much.

That's right. Now some of the boys have put together

a hip-hop song with a music video clip to go with it.

Watch out, MTV.

This is Jonah Takalua's rap song: ''Being a Poly.''

- ♪ Yo yo yo ♪ - ♪ Polynesian, baby ♪

- ♪ Polynesian, baby ♪ - ♪ l'm a FOB, l'm a FOB ♪

♪ All l learned in this big bad school ♪

♪ Don't wanna fuck up, l know it's not cool ♪

- ♪ Polynesian, baby ♪ - ♪ Polynesian, l'm a FOB, l'm a FOB ♪

♪ l come from the islands, and that's no excuse ♪

♪ My culture is better than any of youse ♪

- ♪ Polynesian, baby ♪ - ♪ Polynesian... ♪

- Fuck you. - ♪ l'm a FOB, l'm a FOB ♪

♪ Being a Poly, oh my golly ♪

♪ Just because l'm black, it's me you cannot hack ♪

♪ Being a Poly, oh my golly ♪

- ♪ Polynesian, baby ♪ - ♪ Polynesian. ♪

That fuckin' little homo.

♪ The smell of children ♪

♪ The smell of-- doing it together ♪

♪ The smell of life... ♪

Greg's really feeling the strain at the moment.

You can stop dancing and sit down, please.

lt's not some entertainment service for you.

We weren't expecting such major script changes,

and the time hasn't been allowed, so we really are running a bit behind.

Keep the flipping door shut, please!

l don't want Celine running onto the road.

l can tell he's really stressed because he tends to yell a bit more.

And l find that he does tend to take it out and me and the kids a fair bit.

Rodney, press play, please!

lt's not that hard. Bloody Toby could do it.

What do you call that?

You look like a bloody, brain-dead retard.

Jesus Christ, only a mother could love it.

Do you realize you look like a moron onstage?

Yes, l always get like this in the final stretch.

The kids know that l don't mean most of what l say.

- l'm really a big pussycat. - That is where the second syringe goes.

l am using the gym as a theater.

- Jesus Christ. - Greg, language, mate.

l'm not interested in your opinion about my language, Rodney.

Right now l don't care. Tell someone who cares.

This is coming down. That's going.

l'm sick of PE and l'm sick of them taking over my bloody gym.

And l'm sick of all of it. And l'm sick of you giving me your stupid opinions

and-- and saying your stupid things into my face.

And your-- l'm sick of your voice, Rodney.

Why don't you take a chill pill, idiot?

Well, fuck it.

There they are.

Tamsin, um, and your friends.

l need to tell you something.

- l'm Ja'mie-- you probably know that. - Hi.

We just wanted to let you know that the formal committee's decided

that lesbians can come to the formal.

So come along, get some tickets.

They're 450 bucks and we'll see you on the night.

- Thanks. - Thanks.

- See ya. - Bye.

- That went really well. - Oh my God, it did.

l'm so glad it was quick.

- l think she's trying to crack onto me. - She's really hot though.

- Look who it is. - Fuck off, year sevens!

- lt's year-eight turf only. - Nice rap song you had this morning.

- lt was real good. - Fuck off.

- At least l can rap! - Little grass skirts were cute. Aw.

At least we can dance, motherfucker.

- You wish. - You dance for shit.

- You looked gay. - You can't even break-dance for shit.

Me and Liam need some Polynesian advice.

We're developing man-boobs, what should we do?

- You want a Polynesian smash? - Your mother's the one with man-boobs.

Why don't you go hang out at Gumnut Cottage with the lovely Miss Palmer?

Why don't you fuck your own ass?

So you actually can't read at all at the age of 13.

That explains why your rap lyrics are so crap.

Fuck you, motherfucker!

- Fuck you, Keiran. - Get off him!

- Get the fuck off! - Get the fuck off him!

You want the fuckin' shoe? Who wants a fuckin' shoe?

- Give me my shoe back, you asshole! - Jonah Takalua, get here now.

- Go get it yourself, motherfucker! - Jonah, come here! Now!

- Miss, you didn't even see! - Miss, it wasn't him.

- You didn't even see. He provoked me. - Excuse me, l saw that.

- You didn't even see! Tell her, boys. - l don't care what he said.

- l am not impressed. - Ask-- four eyes against one eye.

He tripped over, miss.

That's the bell. PE students, get out.

The gym's mine as of now.

Out. Careful with that ball on my set.

Take them out. You're freaking out my dog.

For the run of my show, l need the basketball hoop gone.

Greg, PE is still using the space.

You cannot remove the basketball ring.

And as for the idea of painting the gym floor white,

that's absolutely ludicrous and out of the question.

There's a more important issue.

l've had a note from a parent.

According to this mother,

you called her daughter a walrus,

- and you said... - Well--

...you were glad that you had reinforced the stage

or she might have fallen through.

l was referring to Hannah Austin.

And l think in that case, it's a legitimate concern.

Sorry, Greg, it's not acceptable, okay?

l want you to apologize to Hannah

and to any other students you may have offended,

and get on with doing what you do well

and that is producing the fantastic performance that you're going to do.

Fine.

What about my arena seating?

Well, it costs me $5,000 to hire the seating.

And we manage on speech night, don't we?

We have chairs on the gym floor--

l've advertised it as an arena spectacular.

l need arena seating. l'm not putting them

on the floor, for God's sake.

Greg, you know we have limitations

in terms of money in public schools.

Everything l ask for you just refuse

because it's drama and you don't care and you're too busy

with your sport and your library and your--

That's not fair and l'm getting sick of you doing your whole sulking act.

We're not going to disrupt the whole life of PE

and everyone else for your grandiose plans.

Can l just remind you, Margaret,

that l have my resignation letter

in my pigeonhole waiting to go?

And l don't want to have to use it, but l will use it.

Don't push me, Margaret.

l'll go. You'll have no Performing Art Centre.

You're gonna have no production,

no media exposure. l'll just be gone.

l've gotta do what l can do within the constraints of our funds.

l'm just asking you

to have a think about your future with me.

And know that if you

keep getting in my way,

l will have no hesitation in bringing that letter in here and resigning.

Just want you to know that. Have a think about it.

- Oh, come on. Be reasonable. - l'm being reasonable.

You're the one who's not giving me what l want.

Think about it. l could be gone like that.

l tend to believe that Keiran is the innocent one in this situation.

You've all been on his case since the junior school--

l am warning you. Since the junior school dance,

this whole nonsense has been going on, all right?

And l'm-- l'm absolutely sick of it.

lt revolves these ridiculous turf wars

- that exist over the amphitheater. - lt's not about that.

You do not own the amphitheater.

Do l make myself clear?

- lt's our turf! - Excuse me.

Nor are you allowed to use your size to bully other students.

- l don't. lt's not about bullying him. - He started shit.

What is it about then, huh?

- He was teasing me-- - Oh, teasing you, Jonah!

- He was being racist. - Do you know what?

l think you're big enough to take a little bit of teasing.

Your problem is, Jonah, that you can certainly dish it out,

- but you can't take it. - He made fun of my reading, miss.

l don't care. Do you know how we're going to solve this issue?

- How, miss? - You're banned from the amphitheater.

- That's just fucked up, miss! - That's it. No more.

And do you know what? lf l catch you even remotely close to the amphitheater,

this issue will go to Miss Murray.

- Miss! - l'm pretty sure you don't want

your dad finding out about this, do you, Jonah?

- No, miss. - No.

And in addition to that, you will stay at least 10 meters away

from all year-seven students at all times.

- All right? - Yes, miss.

Now go and find the cleaner, get the ladder

- and get the shoe off the roof. - Yes, miss.

- Fuck, man. - Keep away from them, all right?

- He rang me last night-- - Okay.

--he rang me last night and he said he's gonna come with me.

Who is Patrick and how come l don't know about this?

He's kind of shy, you know, in the wheelchair.

The wheelchair guy? He's hot, Jess.

Oh my God.

lt's such a good look, going with a disabled guy.

- Yeah! - lt is.

You can get heaps of cred for being sympathetic.

And he's totally hot, so you get, like,

- the best of both worlds. - Wheelchairs are such a good visual.

- Yeah. - Like when you arrive, oh my God.

l went with a black guy to my year-10 formal

- for the same reason. - Really?

Everyone was like ''Oh, wow.''

- We've gone out awhile. - That's hot.

So cool. And it's really good for the late-night ditch.

Seriously, guys, we have to dump our partners after the formal.

- Not taking Callum to the after-party. - The after-party--

- Who are you actually taking? - l don't know yet.

- As if you don't know. - l don't know.

l've heard stuff from people

that Henry is, like, saving himself for you.

- Did Henry say that? - Yes.

He's just waiting for you to ask him.

Ja'mie, he is like hands down the hottest guy in our year.

- l know. - Even in our school.

- lt's so embarrassing. - She could have any guy she wants.

Do you know how good you would look together?

- We would look really hot together. - You'd look so hot.

- Think of your photos. - l want to go with someone special.

Like, l want it to be an amazing night

and l want my partner to be amazing.

Yeah, true.

Okay, guys. Listening up. Okay, everyone.

Things are going from worse to worse.

My-- my lead, my Mr. G has walked. He's left the show.

Rumors coming back to me are

that apparently l called him a pansy in one of the rehearsals

and suggested that he may be responsible

for the lack of ticket sales.

Listen up, please, cast.

We need to find a new Mr. G, ASAP.

l wouldn't tell the kids this,

but l am literally freaking out.

We do not have a Mr. G,

so l'm freaking out.

Matthew's a little prick for leaving

and he will never be in another show again.

Also apparently some of you are a little upset

that l've been saying some personal things to you in rehearsals,

and you've been telling Mommy and Daddy

about some things that l may have said.

lf l call you names or make a comment

that you take personally...

you know, two words-- deal with it.

You need to get over yourselves

and realize it's not about you, it's about the show.

l'm sorry--

that's what l'm supposed to be saying, ''l'm sorry''--

but this is the theater

and there's no room for hypersensitive types.

- Um, hi. Hi, Tamsin. - Hi.

Can l talk to you privately?

- Yeah, sure. Yeah. - ls that cool? Cool.

Yeah, so l just wanted to say hi.

And l wanted to ask you something.

Okay.

- l'm intrigued. - Yeah.

Well, as you know, the formal's coming up, right?

And everyone's asking dates,

and l know you're into girls...

Yeah.

...so l wanted to ask if you'd go with me to the formal.

Oh.

Um...

l'm really flattered, but...

l don't know you that well, Ja'mie.

So we'd have to hang out and stuff,

like go to the shops or something,

- get to know each other before we go. - Yeah. Yeah.

l didn't know you were into girls.

Yeah, l am. Yeah.

Um, l've been really confused for a while,

and, um-- but now l know for sure.

l'm-- l'm really into chicks.

Okay. Um, cool.

l'm gonna have to think about it.

- ls that okay? - Yeah yeah, that's cool.

l want us to look equally hot on the night,

so if that's what you're worried about, then-- then don't,

- 'cause we-- l can give you some tips. - Okay, thanks.

Um... that's really flattering.

- l'm just gonna have to have a think. - Yeah, that's cool.

- Get back to me. - Okay, l will.

Um, so should we go out to our friends or--

- Yeah, okay. - Yeah.

Oh my God.

- Greg. - Hmm?

l've got an idea and l think it's the perfect way to fix our problems.

No, l've got-- l've got some ideas

about who the new Mr. G will be.

l do not need your help.

l'm sorted in that department of thinky thoughts.

Well, l've spoken to the cast,

and we all pretty much agree.

You've only got one option...

Toby.

No no! l need Toby as my assistant.

He's-- he can't be in the cast.

He knows everyone's dialogue, he knows all the dance routines.

No-- l-- thank you, Toby,

but no, you cannot be Mr. G, no.

lt's a ridiculous idea. No.

He's the only option you've got.

Yes-- not the only option. There-- there are other--

- There are no other options. - Bring in a kid from another school.

- Not in 10 days. - l just don't think it's the answer.

- This answer is ridiculous. - He knows it perfectly.

- l don't think it's going to work. - What do you reckon, Tobe?

- Yes. - Do you want to be Mr. G?

Yes.

- Well-- - Kids, who thinks Toby

should step in to be Mr. G in the musical?

- Yeah! - This is ridiculous, Rodney.

lt's not, mate. Just give us a smile and say yes.

l'm not going to smile.

You are. Come on. Come on, mate.

- The perfect option. - Don't put me on the spot, please.

He's the perfect option. Come on.

There you are. That's it.

- All right, all right. - That's it? Got it.

- Yes yes, all right. - Brilliant.

Toby is the new Mr. G.

Well done!

There they are.

l knew they'd fuckin' go straight there.

Miss Wheatley has successfully put an end

to the ridiculous turf wars

that the lslander boys seem so obsessed with.

Keiran! Keiran!

- We just came to say hello. - You're not allowed here anymore.

- Yes, we are. - We go where we want-- 10 meter rule.

- You're too close. - This is 10 meters, motherfucker.

Get a ruler if you don't believe me.

Why don't you boys go check out your lockers?

- How come? - Just go check 'em out.

- Why? - See what you see.

Jonah now seems to be able to take responsibility

for his own actions.

And l think this is a direct result

of the Polynesian Pathways program,

that he is slowly learning the right way to behave.

- Oh, shit. - What the hell?

Whoa.

Celine, calm down, please.

All right.

- Repeat after me. ''Come on, Jessica.'' - Come on, Jessica.

''You don't need drugs to have fun.''

- Don't need drugs to have fun. - We've got a new Mr. G-- Toby--

and he's absolutely brilliant up there.

''l'm always having fun and l don't need drugs.''

l always have fun. Don't need drugs.

- Say it to her. - Oh, whoops.

He's got an almost perfect recall for stage direction.

l think the real Mr. G is quite impressed by how well he's slotted in.

l have fun and don't need them.

He's not overplaying the character like Matthew did.

- You are nailing this. - Really good, Tobe.

He's not sort of, you know, poncing around.

He's-- he's bringing a sort of masculine quality to the role,

which is more in keeping with the Mr. G character.

And you walk her back to class.

l'm happy with-- with how things are going.

lt's all going so well. You know, touch wood.

Mr. G! Mr. G! lt's Celine!

- She ran onto the road. - The car-- it her.

l told you to keep the bloody door shut.

- Where is she? - She's outside.

- What happened? - Celine got ran over.

Oh my God, did you see it?

- ls she okay? - What's happened?

- By a car? - Celine got ran over.

- Celine's been hit by a car. - ls she all right?

- Don't know. - Oh my gosh.

Year-11 formal tickets!

Year-11 formal tickets. 450 bucks.

Have you got the money on you today?

- No one's buying them. - Did you sell any?

- We've sold nothing. - They'll buy them at the last minute.

- Yeah, they will. - Hi, Ja'mie.

- Oh, hi. - How are you?

Good, yeah, l'm really good.

Um, l had a big think about it

and l think it's a really good idea.

- To go to the formal with me? - Yeah.

- Yes! - Yeah, l would love to go.

How cool. lt's so exciting.

- We're gonna have the best night. - lt'll be really good.

Um, if you need to talk at all

about the whole coming out thing--

Oh, yeah. No, l'm cool.

- l'm okay about it. - You sure?

Yeah, l've always known. l was just born this way.

- Um, yeah. - Good.

- We'll message each other. - Okay, cool.

- Well, see you. - Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

Oh my God, don't freak out.

- What the hell is going on? - What are you doing?

l'm not a lesbian. Oh my God.

- Guys, seriously. - Ja'mie, are you a lesbian?

- No no no. - l can't believe it.

No, l told her l was a lesbian so she'd say yes to take me to the formal.

Why the hell do you want to go to the formal with a lesbian?

- Don't you get it? - No.

She is like the second-hottest girl in year 11.

The combination of her and l is gonna be awesome.

Seriously. lt's gonna blow everyone's mind.

- This is like-- you're a lesbian? - Think about it.

When we turn up to the nightclub,

we get out of the limo, everyone's gonna go schizo.

- Can you imagine that? - So it's fake?

- Yeah, it's totally-- - Oh my God.

- Are you sure? - l am faking. l am not a lesbian.

- l know your plan. lt's to stand out. - lt's disgusting even to joke.

- To go with a lesbian-- - Bigger than you and wheelchair guy.

No, it will make you stand out so much.

- lt'll be like, ''Oh my God.'' - lt's gonna be so cool.

Get over it, Jess. lt's gonna be the best thing ever.

Like we should do awards at the formal

and have the hottest lesbian couple award...

- Yes! - ...and me and Tamsin can win it.

l got suspended!

Three-day suspension!

l had to go see Miss Murray,

and she said that my dad had to pay for the lockers

to be fixed and repainted and shit.

And dad said fuck off to them.

Suspended!

And Pedophile Pete said that if l fuck up again,

they want my dad to send me to a private school for problem boys.

- Your dad looks angry, man. - l know, he's pissed as.

You do that shit again, l'll send you back to Tonga.

l don't even care if you send me back to Tonga.

There's mad break-dancers in Tonga.

l want to go there.

- l'm gonna smack you tonight. - That's child abuse if you do.

And you didn't turn up to Poly Day, motherfucker. You owe me.

Now l've just spoken to Mr. G, he's called.

He's on his way back from the vet.

Unfortunately...

Celine has died.

Now, when Mr. G gets back today,

he's obviously going to be very upset.

l would ask that you all take that into consideration.

Let's move into the first positions

for ''School These Days,'' the reprise, please.

Okay, cast.

We will run through...

the whole number to the end.

Dancers, heads down, please,

remembering jazz run-in with right foot first.

Thank you, Rodney.

Guys, formal issue.

There's no way he's doing it unless we give him full payment.

lt's a serious issue, guys.

- We'll do a dress-up day. - That's, like, paying for our formal.

To raise important funds for AlDS in Africa.

- l don't really see it as lying. - AlDS money, AlDS in Africa.

Ja'mie's in a massive amount of trouble.

Look, we're really rich, so just name your price and we'll sort it out.

To be honest, l'm a bit worried about Jonah.

Doug's taking this really hard line with him.

One time you get caught break-dancing and you are out of here!

We got a text message from Keiran. He wants to have a break-dancing challenge.

He's gonna go around the whole school

telling everyone l'm not a good enough break-dancer.

The only rule we have is no ROGs or FOBs.

l know if l take revenge on him,

l'll get fuckin' expelled or some shit.

l'm sorry to hear about your dog.

You never said ''Great, thank you for what you've done.''

l'm bloody resigning. Fuck off, everyone.

l'm leaving at the end of today.

lt's my last day today. Mr. G's last day!

l've come to the end and it feels right.

Why have you spent all day today driving up and down

- outside the school? - lt's on my way to the shops.

- What are we gonna do? - That's not gonna happen.

- l'm supporting him! - Trust me for once.

- You spaz. - That's really mean.

l've got year nines first period, God help me.

- With the blonde hair. - What are you doing today?

Um, last night l was at a movie...

One of my big gripes is there's a lot of teasing

that goes on at this school.

- Kids are very nasty-- - Yeah.

--and Toby deals with a lot of that stuff.

He has to deal with being called, ''You spaz!

You retard!

Spastic.''

What else do you get? ''Nuff Nuff''?

l know how he feels.

l had a difficult school time myself.

l went to an all-boys' school and l went by my real name in those days,

which is Hellen,

the ancient Greek masculine version of the name.

You can imagine at a boys' school

with a name like Hellen Gregson

it was not easy.

Getting called things--

''Oh, you're a big poof, Hellen. You're a poofter.''

l used to wear my pants fairly high in those days

'cause l was a dancer.

- Really funny. - That's just how we wore them then.

So, ''Hellen, stop pulling your pants up, you big poof.''

Nasty things like that.

So l know how it feels.

Yes, we look after each other, don't we?

Yeah.

We do. Just, all right.

And release.

- Did you lock the car? - Of course l fucking locked it.

Don't talk to me like that, you little fuck.

Don't walk next to me. lt looks gay.

- So is he back on the Ritalin? - Yeah.

Okay, well, that can help.

Jonah, have you had time to think things over

during the suspension?

Answer your teacher.

He's not my teacher. He's student welfare.

Any sort of changes that you could make?

Be better at school and be more behaved.

What about at home, Mr. Takalua? ls there anything you can change

to help Jonah get through all this?

Be stricter on him,

- make him do his work. - Mm-hmm.

Smack him out if he doesn't.

Well, not really changes like that.

l was thinking more of do some reading together in the evenings.

Yeah, maybe.

That's a homo thing to do. l'm not doing that, sir.

All right, what about the work you were supposed to do during your suspension?

What subject was this for?

l don't know.

Well, what teacher gave it to you?

Mr. Pulos.

- The science teacher? - Yeah.

We went and bought the glue for it,

and he works hard on it.

Yeah, l can see he worked hard on it,

but l'm afraid this is not schoolwork.

A suspension isn't a holiday, Jonah.

Do you really want to go to a fourth school in two years?

No, sir.

No, l didn't think so.

Holly!

Oh my God! Did you get my text?

- lt's a formal issue? - Formal issues.

Guys, formal issue!

So the DJ called me last night and says there is no way he's doing it

- unless he gets full payment upfront. - lt's like impossible.

- But we don't have money yet. - Yeah, it's like five grand.

- Did you tell him? - Yeah, l told him, he got really mad.

- lt's a serious issue, guys. - That's like the biggest part of it.

When l said l was planning a formal, l didn't realize

you guys would be too povo to pay for it, no offense.

- We gotta figure it out. - There's no point saying that to me.

We've sold like three tickets. We need five grand.

As of today, Jonah, we are gonna implement some changes.

You are now on parole.

That means one tiny thing

and there are big big consequences.

First of all, we're gonna ban you from break-dancing--

- That's bullshit. - --because break-dancing is the cause

- of a lot of your issues. - That's bullshit, sir!

Jonah, every time you get into a fight, it's about break-dancing.

- That's fucked up. - lt's a waste of time.

One time you get caught break-dancing and you are out of here!

lf he's fucked up again, l'm gonna send him back to Tonga.

How would you feel about that, Jonah?

l'd feel bad.

l don't want to go to Tonga. l'd miss my friends.

l'd miss this school.

l went to Tonga once when l was 10 and it was shit.

All right. So don't break the rules.

Do you understand that?

Yes.

Good.

How about-- just an idea-- we could, like, maybe buy our own tickets?

No, we are not. We are on the formal committee. We're doing so much work.

- We've done way too much work. - l'm not paying for anything.

- No way. - Oh my God! l just thought of an idea.

- What? - We could do like a fundraiser.

- l've done heaps. l know what to do. - How does that work?

We'll do like a theme dress-up day, right?

- And everyone has to bring like $2. - That's such a good--

- No no no, five bucks. - Five bucks.

Five bucks! And five bucks times the school is like $20,000 or something.

- Yeah, that'll be-- - And we could do a fashion parade!

- Like $10 at the door. - l love fashion parades!

- We can set up a catwalk. - Oh my God.

- That's so really hot! - l'll bring my designer clothes

- and you can wear them! - That's, like, paid for our formal.

- Let's go tell Mr. Cameron! - Oh my God, dude.

l'll do an announcement at assembly. lt'll be so cool!

Thank you, Rosie.

Pop those down there.

Greg, could l have a word with you in my office if you wouldn't mind?

- Yes. - l'm sorry to hear about your dog.

lt's obviously quite upsetting.

Yes, it is.

The reason l wanted to talk to you is to tell you

that Meredith has finalized all her family affairs in New Zealand

and she'll be here on Friday.

- As what? - As head of Drama.

We don't need a head of Drama.

l'm the Director of Performing Arts.

You have been outstanding. l can't thank you enough for filling in.

l'll be putting something in the newsletter,

- but Meredith will be-- - l'm the Director of Performing Arts.

Meredith will be back as the head of Drama

and you will be returning to being a senior Drama teacher.

When am l getting my arena seating for the show?

When are you-- when are you opening up your budget

and giving a little bit to Drama for once?

When am l getting my basketball hoop down?

When am l getting some support from you?

lnstead, you're wasting it on sport and cricket stumps

and stupid things that the school doesn't need.

Why don't you go buy some more books for the library or crap like that?

Because the funds are certainly not coming in my direction.

Greg, don't be ridiculous. l am greatly supportive of you

and l've appreciated all that you've done,

- and all that you do for Drama. - You're not a supporter of me.

lf you supported me you wouldn't have the Special-Ed kids

and the demountables on the site where you know l want to build

the Gregson Performing Arts Center. That's not supportive.

Greg, l have to consider other departments in the school,

and from where l stand, Drama is a small department.

Well, you need to give me a chance to make it big.

Once l finish the show and build the Performing Arts Center,

the kids will be coming in droves. You know that.

And l need your help. l don't need Meredith.

Greg, l understand what you're saying,

but l've been in the public school system for over 30 years now,

and l know what the funding is like.

Your Performing Arts Center is a fabulous idea,

but it is not realistic.

lt's never going to happen.

Let me do my show and l will get you that money.

l need you to help me,

instead of putting up walls.

l'm sorry, there's nothing l can do.

l'm so sick of you. l'm so--

l'm sick of your stupid school, and you're all pathetic.

l've built that drama department up from the shithole that it was

when l came here and you've never appreciated me for doing that.

You've never thanked me. You've never said, ''Thank you for what you've done.''

l could have taken a different road.

l could have been huge by now if l had taken a different path in my life.

l could have been famous. l would have been massive.

lnstead, l've just chosen to waste my time

in a pathetic school with loser teachers

and idiots like you!

And l'm so sick of it. You're pathetic.

l'm better than all of you people out there.

l'm better than all of you.

l try to bring a little bit of hope,

a little bit of magic into this school.

And l try to have a dream-- l dare to have a dream that's big

and you shove it in my face,

l get it slapped back in my face--

''No, it's not possible. We can't do that.''

Shoot me for wanting to dream!

Shoot me for giving the kids something to aspire to.

l'm bloody resigning. l'm so sick of it.

Shove it up your ass, Margaret.

l'm resigning, everyone.

l'm out of here. That's it. l'm gone.

There's my letter of resignation

and there's some flowers for my dead dog.

Why don't you stick those up your fat ass?

Fuck off, everyone!

l'm gone.

We got kicked out of our old area.

Now we're in this shit area.

- This area's got a fucked-up ground. - The ground's all fucked up.

- There's no audience when we break. - No one ever comes down here.

- lt's so boring, man. - Come on, then.

- l can't do it. - No teachers can see from here.

l'll get busted if l do it.

Since the fight, we don't even talk to the year sevens anymore.

lt's like they're not even there, bro.

We don't even look at them,

especially Keiran. He's a fucker.

He made up this all-Aussie crew, and, um,

he's going around telling people that his crew is better than us.

- Shit as. - Crap, bro, he's racist.

He only lets Aussies in.

- And Aussies are shit break-dancers. - Bloody Aussies.

The Aussie break-dancing crew is made up of me, Liam,

and a couple of other guys l'm teaching to break-dance.

The only rule we have is that you have to be Aussie to be in it.

So no wogs or FOBs. And our year-11 coordinator Miss Wheatley

said we can break-dance at the end of term assembly, so we're practicing.

Hi, miss!

When Jonah was away

the year sevens wrote all this racist shit on Jonah's locker.

Yeah, like ''Go home, FOBs,'' and shit like that.

- Keiran wrote it. - ''Go back to Samoa.''

Keiran fucking wrote it. He's denying it, but he wrote it.

- No, it wasn't us. - That's stupid.

We don't know who did it but it wasn't us.

They probably did it themselves to make it look like we did it.

They're stupid enough to do that.

And l know if l take revenge on him and smash him or some shit

that l'll get busted for it. l'll get blamed for it

and then l'll get fucking expelled or some shit.

And now for a quick message from Ja'mie King.

l'm just about to make my announcement

about the fundraiser for the formal.

l've done heaps of this stuff before,

and the key thing is to make people feel really guilty.

AlDS is a huge problem in Africa.

People are dying of AlDS every second.

lt's really bad.

So on Thursday we will be having a dress-up day

to raise important funds for AlDS in Africa...

Going with the AlDS thing means that people

are more likely to give money 'cause they're gonna feel really bad.

lf l just said it was for the formal,

like, they wouldn't care. Do you know what l mean?

The dress-up theme is AlDS.

So come dressed as an AlDS-related thing,

like a doctor, a nurse, a patient or an African.

Also there's gonna be a fashion parade

in the multipurpose room at lunch.

And it's $10 to get in. Thank you, everyone.

l don't really see it as lying.

lt's like just delaying telling them the truth about it.

Do you know what l mean?

l'm leaving at the end of today.

l'm-- l'm really going. l'm ready.

Can you make sure we're going in some sort of order with these?

l'm doing the whole farewell thing.

Guys, l'm gonna be handing around my card.

l've got the whole staff signing one of those big, oversized cards

that l went and got at recess from the newsagent.

The card's on its way around, so--

what are you gonna write?

So everyone's wishing me well, which is very nice.

Sorry, l don't know you very well.

Could l get you to sign this, please?

Everyone's talking about it. There's a lot of talk around the school.

Listening, please, everyone.

lt's my last day today. Mr. G's last day at school,

so if you have anything you want to say to me

then come and talk to me now on the playground. l'm here.

- l've let the whole school know. - Oh, hello.

l've said goodbye to good friends.

Okay, off you go.

l've gone around to my favorite teachers.

l'm not gonna say goodbye to everyone. l don't like everyone.

- Go and get the rubbish. - Hi, Mr. G.

The show's off. l'm not doing the show anymore.

My artistic integrity was being tampered with way too much.

Rodney's organized one of those farewell walkout guard-of-honor things,

which is compulsory for all the Drama kids to go to,

so there should be a fairly big turnout for that.

Thank you. Thanks. Bye, everyone.

Who's creamed the car? Has anyone creamed my car? No? Cool.

- Thank you so much. - Yeah, see you.

l've reached the end of my tether.

- l've come to the end. - Bye, everyone.

- lt feels right. - Goodbye, Summer Heights High forever.

- Hi. - Oh my God!

Oh my God, you look so hot!

Yeah, l'm like a naughty AlDS nurse.

l thought you said we all had to be African.

l didn't want anyone else to copy.

We just came from the lockers though,

and not everyone's got into it.

- They still have to pay though. - Definitely.

Jonah should be the only one at the computer, Leon.

- Miss! - Leon needs to finish his own story.

To be honest l'm a bit worried about Jonah.

He seems a little withdrawn and unhappy.

Doug's taking this really hard line with him

and l'm not quite sure it's the right approach.

- How are you going there, mister? - All right, miss.

He's losing confidence.

l just worry sometimes that we as a school

aren't doing him much good.

The last day of term is Gumnut Story Day.

So l hope that everybody sent their notes home--

Miss, why do we have to call it ''Gumnut Cottage Story Day''?

lt sounds like a children's thing.

l forgot that you were such a man now, Jonah.

Maybe you want to work on a new title, something that's more manly.

- ''Gumnut Cottage Wicked Day''? - Yeah!

Guys, AlDS money. AlDS in Africa.

Did you guys bring your money?

lt doesn't matter if you went casual. You still have to pay.

AlDS in Africa.

- Hi. - How are you?

Good. You got five bucks?

Yeah.

Oh, you came as a lesbian. That looks cool.

- Thanks. - lt kind of relates-- gay, AlDS.

- lt's just my casual stuff, really. - Oh, cute.

- Hi, girls. - Mr. Cameron, can l check your heart?

- You all look great. - Only joking.

l appreciate what you're doing. This is for a great cause.

- Thanks, Mr. Cameron. - Thanks.

We are making so much money.

This is gonna pay for it easily.

Remember that on Story Day there's no school uniform,

but l want you all to dress well.

l want you all to look like gentlemen,

which means, Leon,

- collared shirts, long pants-- - That's gay. miss.

--and l want your hair done.

- Story Day happens once a year. - We'll look like homos.

- l don't even have a collared shirt. - Borrow one, Jonah.

The boys write and publish their own stories during the term.

Some of their families have never ever seen them or heard them read,

and so suddenly there they are reading their own stories

in front of an audience.

l have to say that l always end up in tears.

Miss, how come we can't use spell-check?

'Cause if you use spell-check you'll never learn how to spell.

- Don't read it, miss! - lt's all right. Hands off the screen.

What the year sevens wrote on Jonah's locker was horrible.

lt was really hurtful. l really felt for him.

lt's really fantastic that Jonah's not retaliating.

That's been really really good of him.

l think he's being very brave.

- Fuck off, miss! - l'm not.

Sorry for saying ''fuck off.''

Just finish up.

Go away, miss. Trust me for once.

l do, l do.

Hey, girl. Girls.

Girls, come over. lt's me.

lt's Mr. G.

l'm a teacher. Come over.

ls Mrs. Cotton back yet?

ls everyone freaking out that l'm not there?

Can you guys go back in and spread it that l'm out in front?

Tell everyone. Thanks.

Um, Mr. G, Miss Murray would like to see you in her office.

- She told me to get you. - How does she know l'm here?

She says she can see you driving past from her office.

Well, tell Miss Murray if she wants to talk to me she can come to me.

Go and tell her that.

$10. Thanks.

Hi, you have your $10?

Thank you. You're supporting AlDS.

- Everyone-- Jess! - You guys, come on.

Oh my God, l'm so nervous.

- Are you guys ready? - l'm gonna go last.

Hi, everyone. Welcome to Fashion for AlDS.

Slide you down.

Where's my fucking blue shirt?

This is a Dolce & Gabbana dress that l wore to my year-nine formal.

As you can see, it still fits me.

This is an outfit that l might wear on the weekends

if l was just going down to the shops or something.

lt's very casual yet very now.

And remember, guys, bigger donations will be accepted.

Do it for the Africans.

First you go knuckle.

The whole point is if he doesn't break-dance,

we're gonna be named as the shitholers.

lf he does dance and get caught he's gonna get expelled.

He's not gonna get caught because no teachers go behind the gym.

We got a text message from Keiran last period.

He sent it to Joseph's phone

and said he wants to do battle on Jonah after school.

He wants to have a break-dancing challenge.

He's gonna go around telling everyone l'm not a good enough break-dancer.

- Everyone knows you're a good breaker. - Tag all ''Jonah's shit.''

- l have to fucking do it, boys. - Don't do it, man.

lf he doesn't do it, we'll get, ''Oh, there's that shit crew.

There's Jonah and his shit crew.

They didn't even want to battle Keiran.''

- l'm supporting him. Youse are not. - lf he gets expelled,

- what are you gonna do then? - You don't know shit.

You don't have his back when he's going back to Tonga.

What if Keiran tips off the teachers?

Probably setting you up right now.

He'll probably tell the teachers.

What do you want me to do? lgnore it?

- They'll catch you doing it. - Don't do it.

- l have to do it. - lt's stupid.

What the fuck do you know about it?

You know l'm a good break-dancer.

l could squash that little homo with one little fucking move.

Everyone knows you're the best.

Text him back, Joseph.

Just say l'll meet him at the back of the gym after school.

- This is fucked, man. - Do it.

- You're fucking yourself up, man. - lt's your funeral, bro.

- Greg, hello there. - Hello?

l noticed you're parked here.

l'm just wondering how you're getting on and so on.

Good, fine. Just on my way to the shops.

- Do you mind if l get in? - Yeah, that's all right.

l'd actually like you to reconsider your resignation.

That's very interesting but that won't be happening.

Why don't we just pretend that all of this didn't happen?

You can just step back into it.

l don't even need to process your letter.

That would be very convenient for you, wouldn't it?

No paperwork.

Greg, what l'd like you to do is think it through.

- l think you've rushed into this. - l've thought it through.

- l don't think you have. - l know exactly what l'm doing.

l've been disrespected and mistreated and shoved around,

and l've made up my mind. l'm not coming back to teach,

so forget it.

Well, as you know, Meredith started again from leave today,

and she and l believe you need a better title.

lf you're willing to come back,

l'd like to give you the title of

Creative Coordinator of the Drama Department.

Don't patronize me, Margaret.

That is a pathetic title.

lt means nothing. lt's an insult to me.

Just get on with your life. l'm getting on with mine.

Getting on with your life? Why have you spent all day today

- driving outside the school? - lt's on my way to the shops.

l do have a life outside Summer Heights High, believe it or not.

All right, Greg, if that's your attitude, l can't do any more,

but if you want to change your mind, you know where l am.
