All language subtitles for Waterloo Road s06e14

Reminders of home.

Ah, you must be Mr. Wisniewski. But you
are not Mrs. Fisher, no?

No, not quite. I'm Chris Meade, the
deputy head. You'll meet the real boss

tomorrow. So I just thought I'd pop in
and talk you through some of your

I'm a car taker.

A site manager.

Fancy name, but the same job, no?

Yeah, more or less.

Don't worry, I'm all set.

I even have my first repair.

An oven to pick.

Right, well, I'll let you get on with it
then.

Sorry, I almost forgot.

Welcome to Waterloo Road.

Oh, look, here he comes.

What took you? I'm ready, all right.

Nothing like trying to impress the
teachers, eh?

You got a dead body in your bag there,
son? It's all the coursework. We've got

an English deadline today, haven't we?

There's physics and Spanish. It's a bit
of the details, eh? I don't know why I

bother with it all.

I'm getting myself an education, all
right. At least I'll have a dodgy back

like the weight of that bag.

Is that about the job, Dad?

No, it's a benefit interview again.

Trying to take your money, Dave? I've
got to go down and prove I deserve the

pittance they give me.

You should just dress up as an asylum
seeker.

They'd throw money at you.

Go on, get out of it, the pair of you.

Listen, Dad, I can have a word about the
job with Mr Mead if you want.

You'll just say I haven't got it.

What makes you so sure of that?

Experience.

See you in a bit, Dave.

Leave him.

How long have you been down here?

Can't sleep.

Want some breakfast?

How about you get dressed?

Give us a lift to school.

I don't much feel that dry.

Come on, Dad.

It'll do you good.

You haven't been out the house in a
week.

Everyone's asking of you.

Why don't you go and see him?

I'm not in the mood, Tom.

I'm trying my best here, Dad.

Looks like you needed that.

I could use another cup.

Take it on the men, then.

You what?

Tom. Must have his strength back if he's
keeping you awake at night. Oh, no, no,

no. He's not.

Is he still under the weather?

Somewhere nice?

What? Where it was you drafted up to.

Sorry, I don't know where my head is.

Jonah, is there something you needed?

No, just want to say morning.

Right, well, now that you've said what
you have to say, you can make your way

class.

We should do something, the three of us.

Well, you can come round to mine if you
want. Oh, no, let's go out, have a bit

of fun.

I can be the party animal all of us are
doing.

All right, I've been a bit of a moon
lately.

Which is why tonight's my treat.

Well, if you're paying, I'm in. Yes,
baby, just.

I suppose, but I get to decide where
we're going.

Standard.

Martin, what can I do for you?

Just wondering if we could have a word,
sir. It's about your coursework, I've

already marked it. Very impressive.

No, it's about my dad. He went for that
site manager's job. I'm just wondering

if you've heard of it. According to the
recruitment agent, their interviews were

last week.

What? We never heard anything.

Yeah, well, we sent letters out.

Can they still get an interview?

You'll have to ask the agent, sir.
Actually, Martin, the job's already

New site manager started today. I'm
sorry.

Well, what's the verdict?

Your oven is broken.

And what exactly is the matter with it?

We have a problem with thermostat.

That's impossible.

I've calibrated it myself.

Well, you made a mistake.

I beg your pardon.

Okay, your oven is not hot enough.

I work with this at home.

I think you'll find my ovens are a
little more sophisticated than the ones

have in Poland.

Right. What makes you think I'm Polish,
huh?

You have an Eastern European accent, so
I just... There are 20 countries in

Eastern Europe.

Not just Poland.

I'm joking. Of course I'm Polish.

But you shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Okay. Can you fix that quickly, please?
Because I have a class coming in.

Are you going to use oven?

What's the idea?

Well, you need another idea.

Either that or new oven.

Hold inside.

Quickly, please.

Josh, look, I'm sorry it happened, but
ignoring me, you know... I'm not

you. You've had this broke to me all
week.

Been busy with my dad, haven't I? It's
not been easy, you know.

Yeah, well, it's been a nightmare at my
place as well. Oh, what, has your dad

run out of teachers to beat up, has he?

Right, Josh and Nate, come on.

Right, so then change of plan,
gentlemen.

Just give me a minute.

So start setting up, please.

Be careful with tools. Sorry, mate.

Didn't understand a word of that.

I said be careful with tools.

Still nothing.

Is it English?

Why don't you boys get on with your
cooking classes, huh?

Are you trying to be funny?

You're stealing jobs from people who
live here, you know that.

I didn't steal that job.

And I lived for ten minutes from school.

Yeah, but for how long?

As soon as you make enough, you'll be
off home, won't you?

Mind your own business, OK?

Blokes who live here can't afford to
feed their families because you're not

the coin, everybody.

Who are these blokes? Show me. My dad,
for one. Yeah, you nicked his job.

Give it back.

I'm sick of your mob.

Come around here and you're nicking all
the work. Listen, I don't like being

called a thief, OK? You don't like it,
you don't like it.

What is going on here?

Stole his dad's job.

I'm warning you, I'm not a thief. That
is enough.

I think you should leave, Mr.
Wisniewski. What?

Why should I go?

Because I'm telling you to.

Thank you very much.

I want to make a complaint.

Is there a problem?

Yes. Discrimination.

That's the problem.

So, what's the plan now?

What do you mean?

I can't let Paul get away with that.

I need to do something.

Yeah, I just did. Sorry, did you not
hear me?

That were just words.

You've done the trick, though, didn't
you? You got kicked out of the class.

Big deal.

You've still got your dad's job.

Yeah, I know.

Listen, dad's a top bloke. He's got
loads of respect around the estate.

There's no need to stand up for him.

How do you reckon we do that?

Don't know.

I'm not letting Dave down.

I'm not in Dane, darling. You heard
yourself.

But he's not even your dad.

And if anyone's standing up for him,
it's me.

All right.

Cutting it a bit fine, aren't we?

Sorry, Jonah. I wasn't aware that my
timekeeping was any of your business.

Just making a joke, miss. Yes. Well, now
you can just sit down.

Miss, did you know that Martin Downes is
a racist?

He hates the folks. That's enough,
Raman. Okay, it's off him as a surprise

class, miss. He told the new caretaker
to go back to his own country. Martin

no right to say that. He's got the right
to free speech, though. Not free speech

if you're attacking a minority.

Expressing an opinion isn't the same as
attacking someone. Well, in my

experience, Johnna, it often is. And I'd
rather not be talking about this now.

Well, why not? Yeah, miss, why not?
Because it's not relevant.

It's pretty relevant to me.

Right, okay.

If you want to talk about this, then we
will all talk about it.

But in Spanish.

Racismo es un tema muy delicado.

Ruby, can we have a chat?

Yeah, I was going to come and find you,
actually. I had a few problems with our

site.

Mr.

Wisniewski says that Martin Dowling was
out of order this morning.

Well, he wasn't the only one. Mr.

Vishnevsky should learn to reign in his
temper. The boy started it.

Doesn't mean you can threaten him. He
insulted me. Okay. I hardly think so.

right, let's just try and stay calm.
Perfectly calm, like some others.

Lucas says that Martin told him to go
back home, that he's stealing British

jobs. Well, his father has just lost out
on that job, so understandably he's

upset. Well, that's no excuse, and you
should have told Martin that.

I agree with him.

Sorry?

What are you saying?

I think that Mr. Vishnevsky is stealing
jobs from British workers.

Unbelievable. Ruby, can we talk?

Do you think that you sympathise with
right -wing views?

Of course not, but I don't see the point
in censoring them.

Well, we can't let them run around
making hate speeches.

Look, hate cannot jive out hate.

Only love can do that.

That's a little bit naive of you, Jonah.

Well, Martin, this king didn't think so.

You give these people a platform, you
give them profile.

So we just ignore them then?

Yeah. So what's wrong with that?

If you ignore people, they only get
louder.

That's what this is all about.

You're upset because you think I'm
ignoring you.

I don't think.

I know you've been ignoring me.

The whole week.

Do you want to play?

Why are you doing this, Jessica?

Because what happened last week was a
mistake.

And it can't happen again.

Well, it didn't feel like a mistake to
me.

You've got to stop being honest about
it.

Jonah... You have to

understand, there is no us.

Something is happening between you and
me, Jessica.

How long are you going to pretend that
it isn't?

Just give me a shout when you're ready,
yeah?

Don't you think we're blowing it out of
proportion?

Which part?

Martin making racist remarks or you
condoning them?

But Martin only expressed an opinion.

Ruby, can't you see that holding these
kind of views could be seen as racist?

No.

No, that's slander.

And I resent being called a racist.
Well, you might want to drop the whole

British jobs for British workers then.

I think that employing migrant workers
over local people is unfair.

See, saying things like that in school
can have serious consequences.

Right, OK.

Not exactly on the verge of a race riot,
but OK.

You know what, Ruby? We're done.

You'll apologise to Mr Wisniewski.

Because I have an opinion?

Yeah. One based on ignorance.

Do you know that my John lost his
building firm last summer?

It was 20 years of hard work down the
drain like that. And you know why,

Because he employed local tradesmen and
he paid them decent wages. And in the

end, he couldn't compete with migrant
workers undercutting him.

We lost the lot.

So unlike you, I know what I'm talking
about.

Sorry, you'd better get downstairs.

Keep the noise down, please. What's
going on? That's it.

Don't look at me. I didn't do it.

You do.

My office now.

David? David?

Um, find Jonah Kirby for me and tell him
to come see me.

Okay, miss.

I hope you didn't know I was in here. It
weren't even us, sir.

You two were the ones having a go at Mr.
Vishnevsky this morning.

Doesn't mean we tagged his office.

Martin, have you got anything to say
about this morning?

We had words, sir.

Yeah, pretty harsh words.

You accused him of stealing your dad's
job.

Yeah, but I just don't think it's fair,
mate.

Or is that why you painted the slogan on
his window?

No, Guy, I just told you it wasn't his.

I'm going to be keeping an eye on you
two.

Off you go.

Hey!

And stay away from Mr Vishnevsky.

What are you going to do?

Let's get Martin's dad in.

Thanks for coming.

You were right.

I have been avoiding you, and that's not
been fair.

I just wanted to explain.

You don't need to explain anything. No,
no, Jonah, please, just let me finish.

It was stupid of me to ask you for the
house like that.

I gave the wrong impression.

So why did you?

Jonah.

Please don't make this any more
difficult than it already is.

When we kissed... It felt right.

Look, I know what the risks are for you,
and I know how scary it must be.

But if you want it enough, then we'll
find a way to make it work.

The thing is, what happened to Tom, Mr
Clarkson,

it's brought us closer together, and I
want to make a go of it.

So you're in a relationship after one
date?

I don't believe that.

I'm sorry, Jonah, but...

You're just going to have to trust me,
I'm afraid.

So what you're saying is you've got no
proof that my son did this?

It's not just the graffiti, Mr Dowling.

I'm afraid Martin expressed some extreme
opinions today.

Yeah, but he's a smart lad, isn't he? He
knows his own mind.

Also, presumably, you don't share his
views on immigration.

We're not talking about me, are we?

All right, then.

Maybe, Martin, you can tell us how you
came to hold these views.

How do you mean, sir? Well, have you
been reading books about it lately?

Websites? Have you been talking with
your mate? Well, maybe he just sees

for how they really are.

And how are they, exactly?

It's getting to the stage where it's not
even our country anymore.

The foreigners are getting all the
breaks.

So is that what happened, Martin? You
just woke up and saw things how they

really were?

My dad's lived in Syria for years. He's
got all the qualifications, but he

didn't get an interview.

OK, I have to warn you that the school
doesn't tolerate anyone airing the kind

of views that you did today.

And if Martin continues to voice them,
we will take action.

Is that it, then?

Yeah.

Janice?

Yeah? Can you get the recruitment agency
on the phone for me, please?

Yeah, go on.

Excuse me?

Who did this?

I mean it. Who is responsible for this?

Finn, do you know who did this?

Finn?

What have you got there?

Oh, nothing.

That doesn't look like nothing.

There's a fortune there. Have you got
it, Finn? It doesn't matter.

What do you mean it doesn't matter?

It's just the money that I managed to
save, all right. It's no big deal.

You know, I was just thinking maybe I
could get you a birthday present.

Well, my birthday was ages ago.

Yeah, I know, but I wasn't about, was I?
So, I was thinking maybe we could go

into town.

Okay, well, could we get something for
tonight? Oh, yes!

It's all right for him. There's no poles
undercutting teachers.

Sorry about that.

Your phone's off.

I appreciate you two standing up for me
as well.

Well, my idea.

Yeah?

Don't think you had it in you.

Don't be more like your old man than you
thought, eh?

You feel strongly about something,
you've got to take action, right?

Mind you, your words on the wall only
get you so far.

As I thought, up your game.

Make sure they really get the message.

Up our game, huh?

Oh, you're a clever lad.

I'm sure you'll think of something.

Proud of you, son.

So, what are you going to do now?

I think we should see how good
Vishnevsky is at his job, don't you?

Some TV stuff will be handed me his
resignation.

Never know.

They might just back him.

I hope he brought his screwdriver.

You got a problem?

No. No problem.

It's a right mess this place, isn't it?

Yeah, I suppose.

That shouldn't be allowed.

Someone's not doing their job properly.

I reckon someone should complain about
it.

To me, either.

Go and tell them that the boys' toilets
is a disgrace.

In fact, the old school was a mess.

Yeah, I can do that if you want. What
are you waiting for?

Go on.

That's just some of the kids messing
about, trying to upset you.

Yeah, well, they've succeeded.

Who's to say that that wasn't their
teacher?

I can't see any of the staff pulling a
stunt like this. They're too busy

me out the staff room.

Come on, Ruby, that's over the top. You
were hardly driven out. It's just that

race is a very sensitive area.

I made one innocent remark and I am
treated like a school pariah.

Are you sure it was so innocent?

Do you know?

I don't know now.

But you're going to call me racist,
though.

No, I don't think you're racist, Ruby.
Just a little right wing sometimes.

Well, look at you, Mahatma Gandhi.

You're not exactly famous for your
tolerance and understanding, you know,

Grantley. Oh, it's true. I hate
everyone, but I hate them all equally.

Why should I censor my own personal
opinion?

Look, much as I hate to admit it, Adana
is right. Kids are like sponges. They

take everything in.

which is why we have to watch our
mouths.

You know that I haven't got anything
against Mr Mishnevsky.

I mean, it's not personal.

I know that.

I'd be mortified if the kids thought it
was.

I mean, I know I make out I don't care
what they think, but I do.

I do.

Well, if that is the case, you might
want to consider an apology.

Oh, come on, Ruby.

Saying sorry is what the British do
best.

It's not just here.

They've been messing up the whole
school.

I appreciate that, Mr. Wisniewski. What?

You appreciate it?

Well, maybe you should do something
about it. I will, but for now, I'm

you're just going to have to try and
rise above this. Are you saying it's my

fault? No, of course not. Clearly you're
being targeted, but... I just have to

take it, yeah?

I'm sorry. I know that it's hard, but
the school needs you to deal with this.

They won't get away with it, I promise.

All right there, mate.

What's your time like right now?

I mean, you don't like it. You know,
he's quit.

I think it's a good thing that your
father didn't get a job.

You?

Give him time to teach you respect.

You don't even know my dad. You learn a
lot about the man from his son.

Maybe you get the anger from him.

And you're cowardice, too.

You don't want to watch your mouth play.

So, it's theme parks and outcomes no one
in the school knows about.

Jonah, what are you doing? There's 600
kids in this school, and they're all

trained to spark teacher romance in my
life. I thought we agreed we would not

talk about this morning.

We're not. We're talking about you going
out with Tom Clarkson. Well, I'd rather

we didn't.

Why? Because you're fibbing. Okay,
Jonah, if you keep this up, I'm going to

you to the cooler.

Why?

Because you're not going out with
Clarkson.

Josh, how's your dad?

He's not great, miss.

Well, I was thinking of coming up to
visit after school.

Cheer him up a bit.

Okay.

Sounds great.

Well, I'll see you soon.

Don't know about this, mate.

We're going to get caught in here.

We'll have to be at birth, no? Fine.

Bye.

Mr. Wisniewski, I... Good God.

You seem to stay exactly where you are.

Hey, hey!

What on earth do you think you've been
doing?

Signing up for people like my dad.

I thought you'd understand.

Unbelievable.

You were the one backing me this
morning. I thought you'd sign up for it

all.

I don't know what it is you think I
believe in, Martin, but it's not there.

Dad says that if you believe in
something, you stand up for it, take

Well, your dad's a moron, Martin.

My dad's not a moron. Well, he is if
he's encouraging you to damage school

property. Yeah, but he's not a moron.
You need to take that back.

Take that back!

Right, you are in enough trouble as it
is, OK?

It's not your colour.

What are you on about? That's perfect
for me, that. No, this is more you.

Do you reckon?

Yeah, the colour's great.

You've definitely got the figure for it.

Yeah, well, I've not got the money for
it right now. Well, if you like it, I'll

get it here.

I could try it on, I suppose.

Yeah, yeah, let's try it on.

Come on.

What can I say, Ruby?

Well done.

Thank you.

I'm well aware of my part in this. Your
part?

Be modest there, Ruby.

You pretty much caused this.

No, this isn't Ruby's fault.

This is Martin's doing.

What the hell is this?

Mr. Wisniewski, I owe you an apology.

I'm going to deal with this right now.

I'm really so very sorry.

J, do you want to hurry up?

Oh, it looks lovely.

I need a smaller size, Bex.

We haven't got time.

Oh, my God, it'll take two minutes. It's
like shopping with Mum.

I

reckon

she's the night.

Oh, come on.

I'm not going to bite you.

I'll have time for this.

Have you quite finished?

I told you to stay away from me.

I have been doing. It was a coincidence.

I happened to be passing, saw you.

Yeah, right. And when you went to see me
mum in her office, you were just

passing then, were you?

Went to meet the family.

Do you know why you're doing this to me?

We're finished. Do you not get it?

A bit of retail therapy, was it?

My money paying for it, yeah? I never
asked for your money.

Well, but you took it.

Because you know you've earned it.

You'll just have it back. Go on, please,
have it.

Probably meant if I take that, you'll
just be lost. Where?

There's nowhere to go.

Last chance, Dylan. Just take the money.

Well, we did love the cash back.

What did you do that for?

I don't need your money and I don't need
you.

You don't need to throw it up the
building.

There's nearly a grand there.

Just go back to London.

I'm not giving up on you, Beck.

Where's the phone?

Where's the phone?

It's all right. Calm down, then.

Where's the phone?

Mr Wisniewski?

Let him go!

My office, now.

You too, mate.

The fact is, you manhandled the pupil.

Because he stole my phone.

All day they've been attacking me. And
we'll be suspending him. But now, I also

have to suspend you.

What?

I'm sorry.

I've got no choice.

But you are giving him what he wants.

He's sitting out there, happy.

Mr. Wisniewski.

Mr. Wisniewski!

Where is it?

Where's the pawn?

Hello? Victor?

Not yet!

Victor,

my son, he had an exam in Poland today.

A very hard exam.

Did he do well? Well, he says no, but I
know he did.

He's a smart boy.

Do we have to go ahead with the
suspension, Chris, given the

I was wrong to push him.

But, actually, one day here is enough
for me.

Well, if you present your case, then...
No, I quit.

Thank you. Thank you for the
opportunity.

But I think...

It's better for me to have a fresh start
somewhere else.

Where the hell did you get up to?

You're going to get this dress, aren't
you?

I haven't got any money.

Yeah, you are. You've got a big fat
envelope of it, in fact.

I threw it away.

What, you threw your savings away? I
threw away my savings, Jess.

Yeah, I kind of guess that.

So, where do you get them from, then?

I can't tell you.

Well, there must be something bad going
back.

You run the game?

Look, I did some things that I'm not
proud of.

I don't want to pay any more than that.

I've got my sister.

Yeah, and when I'm ready to talk, you
will be the first person that I turn to.

All right.

Well, come on then, let's go find a
bank.

We're going out tonight, aren't we? And
you've got no money, so I'm paying.

Can you afford it?

Yeah.

Got my savings on us.

I don't understand mine.

I'm not saying you're the perfect pupil,
but you're smart.

You've got a future.

Shoe in for university if you work hard.
Well, Dad says university's overrated.

And what do you think?

No.

I'll probably just stay around here.
I'll get a job when I leave school.

Right.

So you'll just throw away your
education, then?

Well, my dad never had one. He'd have
been fine if he got this job, wouldn't

Because your dad didn't get the job.

That makes it okay for you and Kyle to
harass Mr. Wisniewski. I didn't say

nothing about Kyle. We know Kyle was
involved. We're not stupid.

Okay.

One week's suspension for you, starting
from now. You go and you apologize to

Mr. Wisniewski, and then you go home.

So was it worth it?

How do you mean?

You got rid of Mr. Wisniewski? You must
be happy with the result.

I'm just sticking up for my dad, sir.

Well, all the trouble you've caused
today, I'm sure your dad would be very

proud.

I can't believe she thinks like that.

And again, Ruby never was the most
tolerant.

Worst thing is she actually believes
she's right.

Well, she's the only one.

Must be hard, I suppose.

Think something's right and everyone
says it's wrong?

Not really. I usually bug everyone until
they see it my way.

What if you know something's wrong, but
you just can't help yourself?

Just so that I know, we're not talking
about Ruby now, are we?

There's nothing wrong in it, you know,
Jessica.

We can't help who we fall for.

If you and Tom like each other, then go
for it.

I know you two had a bit of a shock the
other night, but you should just trust

your instincts.

And what if your instincts are wrong?

What, with Tom?

Yeah.

Isn't it better just to take a risk?

See what happens.

This might be the best thing for you.

I mean, look at me.

I just ended up with guys that I thought
other people would approve of. And

where did that leave me?

Three ex -husbands and a whole heap of
regret.

You had no right to invite her.

I didn't. She invited herself.

You should have said that I was busy.
But you're not. You're just sitting

in your pyjamas.

Come on, she said she wanted to cheer
you up.

She actually said that? Yes. Now give us
an hand.

It's just not hard. I'm not up for this.
I'm going to call her and cancel it.

No, you're not.

I'm not sitting in again. Are you
depressed?

Josh. No, I mean it, Dad.

You do this, get a shower and get a
grip.

Go.

Miss.

I'm sorry about earlier.

No. Not me you should be apologising to.

I'm just on my way to see him now.

Good.

So you just got out of hand?

Well, you know, it's been a hard lesson
for both of us, but they say those are

the most effective.

It's, you know, it's all behind us now,
so... Anyway, it's over.

It's not over.

My dad's here.

Right, son, you show me where he is,
yeah?

You need to stay here.

What?

Why?

Just, um, trust me, you need to stay
here.

Mr Fry, I don't know what's happening.

I am not attracted to you.

Oh, my God!

There's a change of glass!

Idiot! Let's see how tough you are, eh?
You want trouble?

Come on, then! Get out of here!

No, Mr.

Piszewski! Do you want trouble?

Hey! I didn't say it! Don't cut me free,
OK?

Hey, that is enough! Hey, that is
enough, please!

Back off!

He attacked my son.

Let's not pretend that this is about
Martin. You have come in here to throw

weight around.

You're meant to be setting an example to
these lads. I am setting an example.

I'm showing my kid how to stand up
against this lot. You are showing him

be a bully like you are, that's all.

Yeah, maybe that's how you see it.

You've got him going round the school
course in havoc, and all because you

didn't get some job. Would you blame me?

I've lived two miles away for years, and
he handed over to somebody who I had a

week ago.

I didn't even get an interview.

That's not true, though, is it, Mr
Dowling?

See, I called the recruitment agency to
find out why they didn't give you an

interview. Apparently, they offered you
one when you didn't turn up.

Dad?

Is that true?

Dad?

Sorry.

It's all right.

It looks better than it did.

No, I'm gulping at you. Talk about being
insensitive.

Look, I'm so sorry I haven't been in
touch.

Don't blame him.

If they had any, probably he would shock
up as well.

Are you staying for dinner, miss?

Well, that would be nice.

You could cook something, Dad.

We haven't got anything in.

We haven't been to the shop, see.

Okay.

Well, here's the thought. Why don't we
all go out for a drink?

I don't really feel much like drinking.

Oh, go on, Dad.

I'm not planning a session.

I really don't think it's a good idea.
It's just the one drink, and then we'll

go and grab a takeaway on the way back.
No, I really think this could be good

for you. It'll cheer you up. No, it
won't!

I don't want to go out! All right!

I'm sorry.

I know.

And it's going to be fine, okay?

Look, there's some pizza in the freezer.

Is pizza okay, miss?

Pizza's great, as long as it's all right
with your dad.

Yeah, yeah, why not?

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

Just give us a sec, eh?

Don't look at me like that, son.

It's just been a total waste of time.
You don't know that. Oh, come on.

Immigrants get all the jobs. Maybe
that's because they turn up to the

interviews, Dad.

You make me feel like a total div.

I put my future on the line. I made that
guy's life a total misery.

I did all that for you.

I never asked you to.

Yes, you did.

You made it very clear.

And all the time, you didn't even want
the job.

Well, maybe I just didn't want this job.

What? I was a welder, son, you know?
Proper profession, proper skills.

So? So.

So now I'm supposed to do to the level
of a caretaker.

Better than being on the dole, innit?

Hanging round the house tonight.

Yeah, it'd suit that, wouldn't it?

Having your old man in here, clearing up
after you.

You're the smart man, eh?

The brain box.

It gave me the bright future. Yeah.

And you're supposed to be happy about
that, Dad.

Is that not what you want for me?

No, it's not, is it?

You want me to be more like Kyle.

A total screw -up. Don't be daft. Why
would I want that?

I don't know. Maybe if I mess my life
up, you won't feel so bad about a state

yours.

Sorry I didn't visit sooner.

It's okay.

You're here now. It's fine.

To tell you the truth, I was breaking
it, seeing you again.

I didn't exactly cover myself in glory,
did I?

On our first date.

You don't need to apologize.

Look, I tell you what, why don't you
come over tomorrow night? I'm sure I

rustle up something a little bit more
exotic than a pizza.

I'm so sorry, Tom. I'm a bit busy.

I've sort of made some arrangements.

It was just a thought, no pressure.

Tom, I like you.

But... You're going through a lot right
now.

And there's some things that I need to
sort out.

So let's just, um... Take it easy.

Yeah.

Sure. You're right.

I'd better go.

I'll see you, uh, back at school.

Soon, I hope.

Before you say anything, just hear me
out, all right?

I had no right to talk to you like that.

It's our border.

No.

You weren't. You're right.

Look, if you want to forget all about
us, that's okay.

It's just... Just what?

I can't stop thinking about you.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Wait.

Vicky's going to be here in about 15
minutes.

Yeah?

Hey, you know, footballers might come
here all the time.

Pretty big name.

Yeah, right.

Bex, you should be flattered.

I wish they stopped staring.

Well, you're the one who wanted to come
here.

No, honestly, it's fine.

You've got vicious sisters.

Right, look, if you're not going to have
a good time, then let's just go home.

No, don't be damned.

Honestly, it's fine. I appreciate
everything that you're doing.

Doing what?

Well, coming here with me when you
clearly hate it.

Honestly, it's fine. Go. Vicky will be
here soon.

Are you sure?

I just think I need to spend some time
on my own.

Well, go on then. Get lost.

You want your own too?

Can I get you a drink?

Okay.

I didn't think I'd be doing this when I
woke up this morning.

You're not great now, are you?

No.

What about you?

I don't think I'll be regretting this.

So I'm looking at five, six.

Don't, please.

What, less than a five?

I'd say you were about a nine.

A nine? Seriously?

All right.

Not bad for a first -timer.

I'm sorry.

I thought you knew.

This is your first time.

With him, huh?

This was your first time, Jonah.

Yeah, and I'm glad it was with you.

No regrets?

No, no regrets.
