[rumbling]

[silence]

[James sighs]

Hey.

[Alyssa] Sometimes, James feels like a boy I could love.

Like, really love.

[distant honking]

Then, other times, he feels like a total fucking stranger.

[Muzak]

It's an extra £30 for a late checkout.

Fine.

That's a lot of cash.

We robbed a bank.

[Alyssa sighs]

Keep the change.

[slow rock]

[James] Could get a train to your dad's.

[Alyssa] Maybe.

[Alyssa] What if he doesn't want to see me?

Well, shall we?

- What? - Get a train to your dad's.

[Alyssa] He probably won't even recognize me.

- Are we still going there? - Yeah, obviously.

We should lie low for a bit. Wait a couple of days

- before we start getting on any trains or anything. - Why? - Because we robbed a guy, James.

- He assaulted me. - Doesn't matter.

We should go off-grid for a bit.

Isn't your dad's off-grid?

- Why are you so obsessed with my dad? - What?

I'm not.

He's miles away.

We need to find somewhere nearby.

Somewhere nice.

Could be like a mini break.

[slow rock continues]

Holy shit.

- How do you know? - Know what?

That this one's safe.

No obvious burglar alarm.

Dust everywhere, so no cleaner to worry about.

[Alyssa] Post.

At least a week's worth.

Is breaking and entering the best way of lying low?

[glass shatters]

[door opens and closes]

[Alyssa] Cool.

[James] Think that's him. [Alyssa] Who? [James] The guy that lives here.

[Alyssa] Yeah, obviously.

Bit uptight, isn't he?

[James] He's a professor.

[Alyssa] Whatever, it's fucking weird having a photo of yourself.

Hey.

Look what I found.

[James] Alyssa didn't have much respect for people.

Or people's stuff.

[Alyssa] I sometimes wonder if I should just become an alcoholic.

It means you've always got something to do.

[suppressed gag]

[silence]

I reckon this'll do.

[James] Yeah.

We can just chill here, plan our route, take our time.

Yep.

[Alyssa] I'm trying to think what adults do in situations like this.

Should we go downstairs and have a glass of wine?

Yeah. OK.

Are you hungry?

Always.

[Alyssa] Well, that wasn't as shit as I expected.

It was actually really nice.

[Alyssa] Thank you.

How do you know how to cook?

Taught myself.

[hard rock]

[James] It was that or type 2 diabetes.

[Alyssa] We should wash up.

[Alyssa] Some people get embarrassed dancing. I don't.

I think it's when I feel most myself.

I get embarrassed talking. Well, after talking.

When I realize I've said something stupid.

We should do this naked.

[Alyssa] Something like that.

but it was hard to say no to Alyssa.

Hey, close your eyes.

[Alyssa] Whoever says all boys are obsessed with sex hasn't met James.

[music stops]

[Alyssa] I really hope I'm not bad at this.

Huh.

[James snickers] Is this OK?

[James gulps]

[breathes deeply] Um, stop. Please, could you stop.

- What? - He was putting me off.

- I thought you said that you wanted me. - I do.

- I did. - Liar.

Fuck you!

[melancholy guitar]

Alyssa!

[door slams]

[James] I tended not to feel things.

For a long time, I was good at it.

Good at feeling absolutely nothing.

I didn't even have to try.

I just...

didn't.

[low rumbling]

[rumbling intensifies]

[music stops]

[Alyssa] The world is fucking bleak.

I guess I try and do things to forget that it is.

Keep busy, keep blind.

I thought that's what me and James were doing.

Don't look at that.

Hey.

Hey.

- How old are you, then? - 17.

Yeah, right.

[snorts] You look better in person.

Fuck off.

[Alyssa] I do, actually.

My mum says it's my secret weapon,

which I think is kind of rude, but I see her point.

- So, what was your name again? - Alyssa.

Alyssa.

Cool.

What's yours?

Topher.

What kind of a name is Topher?

It's short for Christopher.

So, why can't you just be called Chris, like a normal person?

Dunno.

Guess I'm a twat.

[melancholy guitar]

- Do you have a girlfriend? - No.

- Boyfriend? - No.

[Topher] Whoa! Is this your place?

[Alyssa] We're squatting.

[Topher] Who's we?

[door opens and closes]

James, this is Topher.

And we're going upstairs to have sex.

[James] Being with Alyssa had started to make me feel things.

She made me feel things.

And I didn't like it at all.

[guitar stops]

[Topher] Um...

[Alyssa] What?

[Topher] This isn't being filmed is it? [Alyssa sighs]

Are you actually underage and someone's gonna leap out like, "catch a pedophile"?

[Alyssa] Oh, for God's sake!

Come on, then!

[ominous music]

[giggling]

[James] Alyssa had thrown me a curveball.

[slash]

[hearty laughter]

[James] I had to bide my time.

So I decided to have a look around.

[screaming intensifies]

[heavy silence]

Shit.

[Alyssa giggles]

[low rumbling]

You're cool, Alyssa.

You're really fucking cool.

Thanks.

[Alyssa] It's no good.

It's just no good.

Thanks, James.

- I'm sorry. - What?

I changed my mind. I'm sorry, I'm not into this.

Are you... Are you kidding?

Nope.

[stutters] That's not fair.

Uh, yes, it is.

Please, Alyssa.

I think you're amazing.

Well, then, respect me changing my mind, and fuck off, please.

[Topher sighs]

It's like... [angry] There is a word for girls like you.

I'll bet.

[door slams]

[heavy footsteps on stairs]

[Topher] She is a fucking prick-tease bitch.

Right, yeah.

I'll tell her.

[door opens and slams shut]

[James knocks]

Alyssa?

[Alyssa] Go away.

[Alyssa] It feels like sex can go from something you want to do

to a punishment, really fucking quickly.

[ominous music]

[James] I waited until she fell asleep.

[door creaks]

[ominous music builds then stops]

[James] When her eyes were closed...

Alyssa looked a lot less angry.

[approaching footsteps]

[music builds]

[music stops]

[Alyssa] Oh, fuck.

How did you get in here?

I'm sorry.

It's OK.

[sighs]

It's OK, you just...

gave me a shock, that's all.

Are you in trouble? You needed somewhere to stay?

That's all right.

You on your own?

Yes. OK.

[deep rumbling]

You made a bit of a mess downstairs, didn't you?

[man] Hmm?

You've been eating my porridge, as well, Goldilocks?

[snickers]

What?

Shush, shush, shush, shush. Just stay still.

Please don't.

Don't what?

[firm] Hey, you gonna make this difficult?

[whimpers]

Oh... Are you a virgin?

No.
