Original subtitles

Everyone is an individual.

A collection of experiences.

A network of genes.

Unrepeatable body and a soul without a duplicate.

No two people are the same.

Each person on Earth is beautifully different.

Violently different.

Ethan!

What?

Alone.

Can you please come in and have your breakfast?

I need you in and out of the shower before Roger gets back.

Why do we have to have a lodger anyway?

Are you suddenly destitute or something?

Where's Dad?

He's at an accountancy conference in Peterborough.

That is the most depressing sequence of words I've ever heard in my life.

Accountancy conference, Peterborough.

I hope he's lying. I hope he has a secret family, for his sake.

Not that it's any of your business

but we're trying to save some extra money before we sell the house.

Before you fucking what?

Before we fucking sell the house.

Why are you selling the house?

We've seen some very attractive properties in Kent.

Attractive properties in Kent.

Kent is the Garden of England.

What?!

London is loud and horrible.

Almost everyone we know has been stabbed.

Now, for goodness' sake, Ethan, just eat.

I don't see why everything has to be a fight.

Ran through? Yeah, ran through.

No, Ophelia is not ran through, Jake.

If anything, Hamlet is ran through.

He's a guy.

A key that opens many locks is a good key,

but a lock that can be opened by many keys is a bad lock.

I know you haven't had sex.

You know that, right?

You don't have a key, mate, you're locked out.

You're confusing the metaphor.

Oh, my God! So now you know what a metaphor is.

All I'm saying is that Hamlet is a high-value man.

He's a prince, he's tall, he's sure of himself.

I mean, he's got women lined up.

I mean, what are we talking about?

Did I get the wrong one?

We can get a different one.

I wasn't sure what was the best cat.

ChatGPT said that this breed

had an independent spirit, and I thought that resonated.

No, no, I love him.

Just because, you know, we're back on track.

You know, moving forward from the whole... the sex thing.

Mm-hm. We're at a new stage.

A cat stage.

Practice at looking after something together. Yeah!

Yay!

Hey.

Hi.

Hey, we should talk about the other night.

Oh. No, we don't need to do that.

Also I'm literally heading out.

I'm doing a reading at the show tonight.

I just wanted to say, though,

that for me, it was more of, like, a casual thing.

I don't want you to get the wrong idea

that it was more than... than that.

Oh, fuck.

I was really hoping you wanted to move to the coast

and maybe start a small business.

I'm really sorry! Genuinely.

I should have been more clear about, like, what I wanted.

I'm actually working on it in therapy with Zara.

What? Yeah. Well, she's practising on me.

OK, listen, man, we were really fucking drunk.

You fingered me for about four seconds.

I have a better sexual experience with my electric toothbrush.

Can you just keep this between us and stop talking about it?

Hi.

Please. Express. It's beautiful.

Are those antidepressants again, Ethan?

Did you not read the article I sent you?

Imagine if you got autism on top of everything else.

No, it's PrEP so I don't get HIV

if I decide to fuck a man tonight, OK?

No, do not get HIV, Ethan, I will be...

Well, I'd be absolutely furious.

What the fuck is that?

I like it. Roger's going to put it up.

He's trying to find the right place.

You cannot put that up. That is...

That's the cringiest fucking shit

I've ever seen in my fucking life.

Sorry, which part do you not like, Ethan?

I mean, which word exactly do you disagree with?

Live?

See, none of these people have jobs.

Everyone here is wearing like clothes

that are so ugly that they circle back around to hot.

It's all very clever, but I'm not falling for it.

Oh, hey! Hi, superstar.

Oh, my God, this place is so cool.

So I just met a make-up artist called Lightning.

Legal name, no last name.

Literally like Cher or Rylan. Isn't that mad?

I mean, I did tell him, though,

that is really bad for SEO because if you Google Lightning

it's just going to show you pictures of the weather.

Guys, this is like a workshop.

Like, not...

It's like, I don't need this. This is too much.

So is Aaron coming?

Because I've decided I'm just gonna ask him if he's gay.

I'm gonna be like, "Are you gay?

"Or are you just a straight guy with, like,

"a weird voice and a necklace?"

You know?

Yeah. Is Tom coming? No.

Tom is at home looking after our baby.

You got a cat? You fucking hate cats.

You always say cats are up themselves.

Well, they have a Tory vibe. You have a Tory vibe.

You have a mortar and pestle.

You have a Tory vibe because you have rich parents

and went to private school.

Oh! No, that is fair. That's fair.

Although not that rich, it turns out.

They're selling the house.

They're selling my house. They're downsizing.

What? That's not the sob story you think it is.

OK, I have to go. I have to go.

Um, take that. I love you guys. I'll see you soon, OK?

Good luck! Good luck! It's, like, very chill.

It's not a big deal.

Weird. This place is so weird. I'm creeped out.

Are you all right? You're allergic to cats, aren't you?

What's going on?

I'm absolutely fine.

Me and Tom are in a really great place.

We're having sex. I licked his bumhole.

What? You what? You licked his bumhole?

Yeah.

Oh.

All right, I thought you were gonna be excited about it!

You like that stuff.

No, I love it, I love it!

That is exciting.

You rimmed your boyfriend!

Not too loud. We should celebrate!

Did you like it?

No, of course not!

But it's not the point of sex, is it?

Dunno, can't remember.

Hi, everyone.

Hi. Hi. Hi. Thank you.

Thank you so much for coming.

Thank you for taking a break from doomscrolling or whatever.

You know the drill.

Some bold, experimental fucked-up...

For the first few weeks of uni, Sam didn't like Ethan.

His constant self-deprecation

made his flaws more annoying, not less.

Abi found Sam smug and passive-aggressive.

She acted like she was better than everyone.

It made Abi feel small.

Ethan thought Abi was basic and ridiculous.

When she looked at him, her admiration felt

loaded with pity, like he was a circus animal.

They were all right about each other.

But what we're doing here tonight, sharing our ideas in person -

this is a radical act, right?

This is what resistance looks like.

This is what revolution looks like. Whoo!

We've got musicians, writers, performance artists,

people that I am so privileged to call my friends.

I've literally... Some of these people, I know them from school.

Bet you fucking do.

The feeling! Oh, Jesus.

The feeling, the feeling, the feeling!

Yeah!

I snort a bump of coke and look at my phone.

15 dead in mass shooting.

I feel nothing.

I finish on her stomach and tell her to leave.

Yeah, dating in London is kind of crazy.

Um, like, I've been ghosted so many times

I feel like I'm in Paranormal Activity.

ABI LAUGHS

What about Hinge? Any of you guys on Hinge?

? Whoa, oh

? Oh, hoh

? Oh, hoh...

? Ah-ah-ah! ?

DANCE MUSIC

What is this event?

Why don't these people just sort of post this online like normal people?

Get TikTok. Leave me alone.

Why do I have to come...? Excuse me.

Sorry, I forgot my ID. Could you get me a beer?

How old are you?

God, sorry, I'm not the police.

That's so crazy. I'm chill. I'm normal.

I'm a normal guy. Have my beer.

Get drunk. You're young!

Oh, you came!

Any excuse to paint the town red.

Oh, God. Can I say that, friends?

Yeah. You look like a fairy.

Whoo! Whoo!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

MICROPHONE CRASHES I'm sorry.

So, um...

Yeah. After I finished uni, I started tutoring,

um, kids, like, mainly around GCSE level.

And for the past two years,

I've been tutoring a 16-year-old boy.

I won't say his name, but after I found out the theme

tonight was bodies, I immediately thought of Jake.

The things he says, particularly about women,

treating them like objects.

Like, just bodies, you know?

I began to wonder if he had been radicalised into someone

who just didn't care about other people.

Um, and then I found myself in the position of, like, role model.

Could I stop him from, you know, growing up into a hateful

misogynist with a fleshlight and a porn addiction?

Special mention.

This is a story about empathy.

The first thing I noticed was the smell.

Well, that was weird. I loved it.

Honestly, rip that innocent child to shreds.

I don't care, he seems like a freak.

She was great.

Is that, like, really allowed, though?

Ted Bundy? He's only 16.

Fuck him. He's a teenage boy.

I bet he bullies all the gay kids and he beats them up the whole time.

Did you get bullied?

Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.

That makes so much sense.

No! Oh, my God, no, I didn't get bullied.

That's not my trauma. Oh.

I wonder what is my trauma?

I definitely have some, but I've never been able to place it.

Um...

OK. Hi. Um...

So I'm super excited and a little bit nervous to say that

now it's time to screen my film, so thank you.

Thank you so fucking much.

This film is called Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, Bodies.

Um, the working title was Bodies, Bodies, Bodies

but apparently there's already something called that.

So this is Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, Bodies.

I really hope you take something from it. Thank you so much.

Whoo!

Jesus Christ.

Is she a bit, like, off to you?

She's just stressed.

You know what? Fair enough. These people are fucking stressful.

I can't stand Zara. Horrible cow.

This party looks so fun.

It's so weird cos I was there and it really wasn't fun,

but it looks so fun.

Why am I not in it at all?

I think they only filmed the people who actually had sex.

Well, that was no-one.

? 140 foot on the gas

? I'm slipping in the club

? Gotta take a quick nap

? Get a little fresh air and room out the back

? Now I'm feeling really silly cos I want my ID

? And my buddy's still sick

? And I'm tired of the club... ?

At the end of their first term,

Sam texted Ethan every day of the Christmas break.

Funny things her parents said,

TikToks about which famous actors might be gay.

Endless screenshots of

her first text conversations with Zara.

For the first time in her life,

she felt she had met someone who would never judge her.

Ethan... Don't make a big deal out of it.

It's fine. It's completely fine.

Ethan, let's just go over and talk to her.

She can explain.

I don't need to talk about anything, ever.

I'm a grown man, all right?

Abi told her family that she had made friends with

the coolest girl in the world.

Smart and funny and confident.

Not smug - just self-possessed.

Not passive-aggressive - just courageous.

In Ethan's Christmas card to Abi

he told her that she was the kindest,

most supportive friend he'd ever had.

They were all right about each other.

Hey. Oh, hey. How's it going?

Yeah. Nice to see you.

Yeah, you, too. Did I miss it? Um, yeah, kind of.

Uh...

I'm just going. I feel a bit dizzy, so...

Overwhelmed by the art, was it? Yes.

Yeah. No, it was very confronting.

Real gut punch.

You didn't want to debut any new music?

No, no, no, no.

I make music for myself.

I don't want to be one of those East London wankers

who makes music on his laptop.

Yes, totally. Get what I'm saying?

Yeah, yeah.

You do make music on your laptop, though, don't you?

Yeah, yeah, I do.

You do live in East London.

I'm joking. Right! I'm sorry.

Do you want to get a drink with me?

Yes. Let's go in.

No, I mean, do you want to...?

Do you want to go for a drink with me?

Just me, now?

Just because before you said we should go get a drink,

and then we never went for a drink, and I'd like a drink.

And if you want a drink, then maybe we should get a...

We could...I...

Go in. You should see the...

Yeah, fuck it.

Yeah, let's do it. All right.

Yeah?

Yeah, let's do it.

Great! Gonna lead the way?

Yes. Shall we go?

Yes! Let's go.

Let's get fucked up.

All right. One, one beer.

Maximum 15.

Yeah, like, I don't care, obviously.

It's not that deep.

The fuck is your problem, Sam?

Um...

That was his crush.

Please, Ab. His crush?

Mm-hm.

You watch too much Love Island. They literally haven't even kissed.

He doesn't care. He never cares about anything.

I don't recognise you any more.

You don't recognise me?

You're raising a fucking cat with your boyfriend,

who you abandoned us to live with.

OK, well, have a lovely night then, Sam.

And enjoy all your new mates.

She's so interesting.

She's, like, out of one of those reality shows

where they sell really ugly houses.

Yeah, yeah. She is. Yeah.

I loved your piece, by the way.

I was worried when I read your Substack

that it was going to be more of that,

like, identity politics stuff.

I thought, "What more is there really to say about that," you know?

Like, "I'm a minority in the city."

I think Michaela Coel closed that conversation, right?

Give us a swig.

Hey. Show me...

Show me some of your music.

Oh, I don't know. Go on.

All right.

All right. Go easy, though.

I'm very kind. I'm a very kind person.

ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYS

Cool. Yeah. Love it.

You do? Yeah, I love it.

It, um...

It's kind of like an alarm.

What? No! Like a lovely alarm.

Like a, like... You think it's shit.

No, no, no. You do.

It'll wake you up in the morning and you're going,

"This is going to be a great day."

How do you even know about this?

You posted it on your Story like a thousand times.

OK, this was supposed to be really private.

You read it aloud in front of a crowd of people!

OK, well... And I don't game that much, all right?

I only play Final Fantasy when I'm high,

with my best friend Danni, who's a girl, by the way. All right?

And I'm not friends with her because I want to fuck her or whatever.

All right? She's fat and gay, I think, which is good.

You know, I support that.

And how would you know that I watch porn like an addict?

I don't. Don't you? No!

Why are you even thinking about me wanking?

What, are you obsessed with me? Is that it? No.

Do you fancy me? No.

Do you want to kiss me? No. No, no, I do not!

Because I do.

No, no. It's OK.

No, no, no! You clearly like me.

No! You just said I was both terrifying and erotic.

No, that was about masculinity.

As like an abstract concept.

You really do have to leave. Please, can you leave?

This is, like, really inappropriate.

But you told me to be vulnerable.

This is, like, way too vulnerable.

This is the type of shit you're supposed to fucking suppress.

You're not as nice as you think you are.

Did you get a chance to speak to Sam? About at the party,

me and her, we kind of... Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Of course. Yeah.

Um, she tells me everything.

She told me immediately. She's my best friend.

I didn't realise she was your type.

Well, I don't really have a type.

I'm more into... The person. The vibe, yeah.

And their personality

and like their spirit and their soul and stuff like that.

Shut up. You taking the piss? No, I'm not taking the piss.

That's just what a conventionally hot person says

immediately before fucking another conventionally hot person.

Me, I'm the... I'm the hot person, right?

Mm-hm.

Yeah. And I'm the other one.

So you're not upset or anything?

Upset?

Why would I be upset?

I just thought maybe you might... Yeah.

I just wasn't...

I guess I didn't know who you are.

What? Did I say something stupid?

Did I say something fucked? Should I jump in the Thames?

Should I put big rocks in my pocket and jump in the Thames?

I didn't think that...

I should go. Huh? Why?

What? Yeah. I mean, you can go.

What are you talking about?

It's been nice.

Yeah, it's been so nice.

It's really, really nice.

It was nice.

See you later, yeah?

Yes. See you later.

That's, um... Yeah.

I was... I was thinking tomorrow...

Mm. ..we could go to the farmers' market

and pick up some bits.

And maybe have a picnic.

Yeah. Go on. Um...

And then after, there's this pop-up street food place

that does these fucking lush pastel de nata bao buns,

like the Portuguese custard tart, but bao buns...

Nuts. ..for dessert. Mm-hm.

And there's a place that you can rent kayaks.

Now, I know you don't love the open water

because of what... BOTH: Lurks in the deep.

Yeah. But it's the canal, so we can see the bottom.

And then we'll get a two-seater, and I will do...

...I will do all the paddling.

Yeah?

Sound good? Yes, please. OK.

Good.

I'm gonna hit the hay. OK. OK.

Love you. Love you.

You can get another fleshlight if you want,

if that's important to you.

What? No.

No, that was gross.

Oh, I wouldn't do that. I know that...

So bad.

You're back early.

How'd it go? Um...

I thought you'd be there. Sorry, I...

How come you weren't there?

We thought we'd make use of the empty flat.

Yeah, I wanted a date night.

I made carbonara, actually, with my secret ingredient.

What, love? No.

Cashews and nutritional yeast.

I mean, there's loads left. You should have some.

Shit. Sorry, I finished it.

You're such a greedy guts.

But we have... We have loads of wine.

I honestly am...

I'm so tired, you know.

So I'm probably gonna go to sleep.

Oh, my God. Actually, it's my night to do the dishes.

Sam, we've got it. It's actually fine.

I want to, I want to.

No, Sam... No. It's OK. ALL TALK AT ONCE

I can't have people think I'm a shirker.

No two people are the same.

A collection of experiences.

A network of genes.

An unrepeatable body.

SNEEZES

And a soul without a duplicate.

Violently...

...beautifully alone.

? I've waited many years

? Every print I left upon the track Has led me here

? And next year it'll be clear

? This was only leading me to that

? And by that time I hope that you... ?
