Original subtitles

Being back at college is strange.

Some things are the same.

I really want to try this strawberry yogurt with my hands down. I think it

be really disgusting, but I can't shake the feeling that I have to try it

anyway.

Definitely disgusting.

And other things are not the same at all.

Hey, hey, wait up.

Can we talk?

We could, technically.

But you don't want to.

Not so much. It's just that we've got some stuff to figure out, and if we

figure them out, then they're just left in my head, unfigured.

You should try living in my head.

Nope.

They won't talk to you either.

I've put a new filter in the coffee machine, and I've cleaned the juicer.

and we're nearly out of mangoes, and this is my last shift.

No, what?

This is my last shift.

Things have been going really well, so I don't need to do my day job anymore.

Are you happy for me?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm really happy for you.

But you're crying.

Yeah, I don't know why.

Is it because you're going to miss me?

Um, perhaps.

That doesn't really explain the sheer amount of water coming out of my eyes.

So, what's wrong?

I think it's because you're a connection to Nyla.

And I don't feel connected to her anymore.

Instead, I just feel cracked open.

And raw and exposed.

And it was better before when I was more like an oyster.

Lee?

You can talk to me.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

What's wrong with me? You can't just go.

This is my last shift and I need to finish it.

Any clue why Ali's called us here? No idea.

Set design is about taking a simple space and transforming it.

People come to the theatre wanting to escape their day -to -day life, to be

taken on a journey to another world, another story.

The first thing someone sees when they come into the theatre...

is the stage, the set, the foundation of another world.

Think about that as you work.

The set you will design and make is for The Winter's Tale.

You'll do most of the work at college and then transfer it here.

You'll be split into four groups, design, building, painting, and prop.

The next time I see this stage, well...

I don't want to see this day.

I want to be transported to another world.

Hey.

Did you find out what group you're in yet?

No. But one sec.

Props. That's so unfair.

I wish I was in props.

Because me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

Also. Me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

Me, are

you

even paying attention?

I've got to go.

It's got nothing to do with me. It would be perfect if the Tory hadn't kissed

someone else.

It was me that kissed the Tory. And if that means our friendship is done, I

deserve that.

I can hate you both.

I miss you.

So call me back.

Okay, you can open them now.

Ta -da!

A cup of tea.

Not just a cup of tea.

This is, in fact, the first cup of tea I have ever made for someone I've been

dating. Because none of them have ever liked tea?

Because I never really liked them.

Not enough to add hot water and milk and everything.

In that case... I'm going to try something I've never done before, too.

Are you free tomorrow?

Because I want you to meet my dad.

If that's not too much, too fast, or something.

It's not. I'd love to.

Really? Because I should warn you, he can be quite dad -like. He might even

what your intentions are towards me.

Will he also inquire as to whether I am born of good family?

And your potential to provide a secure income.

OK, cool, cos I got paid a lot recently just for wearing shoes.

Yeah, I think it'd be cool with that.

Did you know I've been assigned to the building team, like some kind of

labourer? Yeah, I did, and I bet your next question's going to be, Samuel, can

you do all my building for me?

No, I can build things.

Using saws and drills, probably. Why do people always underestimate me?

I don't know. I just figured that you wouldn't want to. You did say labourer

a very dismissive way.

Well, obviously I don't want to, but I can.

I think I'll be amazing at it.

I'll probably use the spirit devil.

Spirit devil?

Great.

I'm just going to go and see when the designs might be ready for us.

Nyla.

Hey. Hey.

I wanted to know when the designs might be ready for us. Oh, well, they're

looking pretty good. So what do you say, Lenny, like tomorrow morning?

Yeah, that's about how long it takes to turn something genius into something

super genius.

Super genius? Isn't that like saying something's 110 %?

No.

No, it's not, because when people say 110%, I feel rage not previously known

man, but it makes no mathematical sense. I know, that's why I said it.

to wind me up. Yeah, it's so entertaining.

Far cheaper than buying a movie.

Okay, um, it's one morning.

Great, thanks.

I don't like that face.

It's a sad face.

No, it's not. It's a thoughtful face.

Well, stop thinking then. I don't like it.

If you still want to talk, now's good.

And that's my cue to leave.

Lee, I am so sorry.

I know I disappeared for a while, and not just from college, but for me.

You disappeared for me?

I was in a really difficult place, and I just couldn't figure out the words

to... Maybe I...

I don't want to listen.

I've put everything that belongs to you or reminds me of you in there.

What, like a break -up?

If you like, yeah.

Can I have an explanation?

You... You changed me.

Before you, I was unsociable and fine.

But then you came along and...

Suddenly I'm accepting hugs and discussing feelings and saying things

go, girl.

I mistakenly thought that was a good thing.

It is a good thing. No.

It's not.

It's not very good to need a friend and that friend not be there.

It's left me as not me.

More a crying, broken version of me.

I'm better off the way I was.

On my own.

What do you think?

Er, that it looks like a lot of work?

Well, not really.

The designs look complicated, but it uses minimal materials. I think it's

clever.

Thanks. Yeah, thanks, man.

Yeah, you know, just leave it with us and we'll try and do it justice.

OK. OK.

You being so nice to them, I thought our plan was to hate them forever.

It might have been your plan, Nish, but you never really ran that by me.

Because you would have disagreed. Yeah, I would have.

I don't really hate anyone.

Well, I'm not as forgiving. In fact, I had this amazing dream where Nyla and

Satori both fell into a lake.

What? Nish? What?

They didn't die or anything.

They just had serious pond hair and were covered in leeches.

So, what did they talk to him about?

I did a shoot last week where I had to wear a space suit and filled up clouds.

Maybe that?

Maybe not that.

Why not?

I just... I don't know if it'll take you seriously.

So what should I talk to him about?

You like cooking.

I don't cook.

I just like watching people on TV cook.

I am really good at ordering takeaway, though, so... Maybe.

Or, er... I don't know.

Ignore me. Just be yourself.

But not too much.

Exactly.

I'm an expert on my dad. I've been studying him close range for years.

Just listen to me, you'll be fine.

Hey.

Hey. Hey, boy.

Dad,

this is Lexi.

Lexi, this is Dad. Ah, you can call me Mick.

Good afternoon, Mick. How are you?

Hello, darkroom, my old friend.

I know.

It's a cheesy pun.

I used to make a lot of cheesy puns when I was talking to myself.

Because I had no one else to talk to.

Do you know what?

It's pretty great.

Ow! Stupid wood!

Is it the fault of the wood?

Well, obviously it's not my fault.

Hey. That's not bad for nothing.

Wow.

Did you do all this?

There were other people in our group too, you know.

But yes, most of it was me.

Told you I could use the spirit devil.

You know, it's actually called a spirit level.

Is that relevant?

No, not really.

This is amazing.

Last night of being a loner.

It's good for people watching.

But it's only because we're too vain to realise we're terrible.

Yeah, and they talk so much. Don't they ever get bored of their own voices?

No, but you don't get bored of my voice either.

That was before.

Seriously? In a zombie apocalypse?

Who'd be worth saving?

How's the food, Lexi?

I like your food.

I like this food.

Thank you.

So you're a model.

How long have you been doing that?

We don't have to talk about it. It's not very interesting.

Really? I thought there'd be lots of travel, you know, down pretty glamorous.

Sometimes it's not glamorous at all.

I once did a shoot in Japan where I had to hold a live octopus.

It was just terrifying.

So what do your parents think about you modelling?

My dad's cool with it and my mum died, so...

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to... No, no, Lexi, look, it's fine.

It's very sweet of you to be thoughtful, but I don't mind talking about my wife.

That's how I feel.

No one wanted to talk about Mum when she died.

It made me kind of angry because she didn't stop existing. I didn't just make

her up.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

It's like she's an imaginary friend because I still talk to her even though

she's not here.

Yeah, me too.

But don't tell Dale, though.

He'll think I'm soft in the head.

First set design assignment and I'm on light bulb duty.

So unfair.

Hey, I just need to set this.

Did you really like her? Because I've got to be honest, you are so far out of

her league.

I guess I was feeling charitable.

Victoria, you really did hurt her. How pathetic.

She did not. I am not hurting.

At all.

Over it.

Naomi,

phone an ambulance.

But I... Shut up and do it.

Be okay.

You're not allowed to not be okay.

Your dad is awesome sauce on awesome chips. I had the best time.

We should totally have lunch again.

Right, yeah, yeah, probably.

Why only probably?

Well, it's hard to tell what he really thinks, is all.

Maybe, you know, the stuff about the octopus and your mum didn't go down as

as you think.

That's why I said the wrong thing.

But it was either that or not say anything at all, and I don't know how

be me.

I'm just going to go.

Will you phone me later?

I don't know.

Hey. Hi.

Excuse me.

Do you know where the nearest bus stop is?

Sorry, no, I don't live around here.

Right, right.

Do you have the time?

I thought you wanted the bus.

No, I just wanted to talk to you.

You're really pretty.

Want to hang out?

I just want you to leave me alone.

Fine, whatever.

Get over yourself, you stuck -up tease.

How am I a tease?

What makes you think that you can talk to me like that?

I think.

Wait, I already know the answer.

Because I existed whilst being a girl, isn't it?

Hey!

You OK?

Yeah, mate. She's just a bit touchy.

Don't make me.

I'm not your mate, I'm not even your species.

A future life lesson for you, when you act like that with girls, it's not

flattering, it's intimidating.

What, making young women scared? How can you look at yourself?

I know I can't look at you.

Come on, let go.

Let's leave this sad little man to his lonely little life.

OK, that was a pretty awesome thought.

So am I forgiven?

That's very pretty forgiven.

I'm sorry.

I got obsessed with what my dad thinks and it made me act weird.

I just wanted him to love you as much as I do.

What did she just say?

I love you.

I got your message.

I thought you might want to see the finished set.

And, um... And I also... So I read this for the assignment.

This is one bit that, um...

Chide me, dear stone, that I may say indeed thou art Hermione.

Or rather, thou art she in thy not chiding.

For she was as tender as infancy and grace.

I don't know what it means. What it means to me is he didn't trust

Hermione.

And he was wrong because she was always the same and she was gentle and kind.

I'm trying to say that I messed up and I'm sorry.

I just think that he said it a bit better than me, right?

I think you both said it pretty well.

I'm sorry too.

You do know that, right? Because I've left out some things that I really

shouldn't have. It's just... How it happened is... Also,

I made you... This.

So, you finally concede. Otters are cuter than cows.

Let's not get carried away.

Yeah, this is Nyla Malik.

Which ward?

Yeah, I'll be there straight away.

It's Lee. She's collapsed and I need to... I'll come with you.

Am I, then?

Because this doesn't feel very real.

You had appendicitis? You passed out?

What?

And you brought me here?

I mean, I didn't drive the ambulance, but, yeah.

You didn't have to come, though.

None of you did.

Actually, I did.

Um... Any chance you guys could...

I'll give you a minute. Yeah, yeah, of course.

I put you down as my in case of emergency.

I'll change it.

Don't. I want to be your in case of emergency.

And I promise that, despite recent events, I am definitely up to the task.

That's good.

Because I'm not sure anyone else is.

I mean, I have people in my life now. I accept that.

But you're more than that.

In case of emergency, I want you.

Okay, can we hug now?

No, no.

I have just had my appendix taken out.

But, um... You can hug me later.

It's okay.

I can hug her later.
