Original subtitles

Go on, then. Who are you?

Whoever my mum wants me to be.

Deep down, you know you're not good enough for Summer.

Is your dad in, by any chance? He's gone to the corner shop.

I was just wondering, Billy Hopkins -

when did his dad last come in?

MUFFLED SPEECH: ..saying anything about it myself.

And I also want to get the message across, you know?

And I think the best way to do it...

MUSIC DROWNS SPEECH

Do you know what I mean? Summer?

Summer? Summer!

What was I saying just now?

Hopeless affirmation of the day?

Most kids would be proud if their mum was chosen to speak

at their school's career day.

You'll thank me one day, you know? I'm setting a positive example.

Single mum, successful businesswoman.

I'm very proud of you, Mum.

Just you wait till my speech later.

It'll be so inspiring for you kids.

MUSIC DROWNS SPEECH

Wake up in the morning We rise!

When the early bird calling We rise!

When we get up in feelings Do what the Phoenix do

So, of course, we rise!

When we got to get to class We rise!

When we're stuck under the ash We rise!

All my friends gonna see this through

Cos we just do what the Phoenix do We rise.

We've run out of toothpaste.

Says online baking powder works just as well.

I think you mean baking soda, not powder.

Oh. Is there a difference?

It's not that bad.

What's up with you?

Careers day. And I've got the footy match later.

It's Summer, isn't it? You think she's into Darcy!

Just tell her you like her.

All right, Dr Love.

When did you become an expert?

Er, I'm 11.

Hmm. Yeah.

Listen, if you're going to tell her, don't do it over text.

It's basic, and...

..no girl likes basic.

Make sure you get info on drama courses, media studies,

that sort of thing.

What about nursing?

Of course I support your interest in nursing, hon.

Love you, Hazel!

But what's your plan A?

Nursing.

No-one's saying they don't do vital work.

It's just... anyone can become a nurse.

And some of us, you and me...

..we're meant for a greater purpose.

And I won't accept anything less.

Understand?

Summer.

Oi-oi, Billy boy.

You pumped for St Luke's later?

Did I tell you I used to be their star player?

Yeah, what till they kicked you out?

Yeah, Barcelona got rid of Messi. And he's still the Goat.

What?

As if this lot want us in a team, anyway.

Who cares about them?

Look, St Luke's are last year's champs. Thanks to me.

This year, I'm going to score the winning goal against them.

All right. Just bring your A-game, son.

Cos they're going to rough you up. Them clowns?!

We'll see about that...Darcy boy.

Careers day? Why? No-one's going to get the job they want,

except Khaled. All right, Nostradamus.

How do you know what I want to do with my life?

Hi, Billy.

Apparently, it's pointless us Pru kids

aiming for anything positive in life as our future's already written.

Sounds about right to me.

We all have the same 24 hours in a day.

Losers will always find an excuse.

Someone like you would say that. Someone like me?

Privileged. Is that a joke?

Look at me, mate. You know what I mean.

Your family's loaded.

When have you ever worked for anything?

Look in the mirror, eh?

Because when it comes to privilege, it ain't all about money.

Can you two just admit you fancy each other

and give us all some peace?

Is something up? Nothing.

Just careers day. You wouldn't understand.

Oh, here we go.

There's nothing there for people like you. Eh?

A waste of everybody's time, I bet.

Well, who's going to give a Pru kid a decent job?

I would...if I could.

Exactly. You can't.

It's all just for show.

Careers advisers haven't got a clue what it's like for us lot.

And what's that, then?

Why is your situation any different from any other kid at Phoenix Rise?

Yeah, no, it's not.

You do know you can talk to me about anything?

Whenever.

Doesn't have to be here, or now.

Ooh! I get it!

Girl trouble. What?!

Allow that, Miss! I saw those gooey eyes.

Summer, eh? Don't worry. I won't say anything.

You're a joker, Miss!

I-I need to go.

I was just pulling your leg. Billy!

Am I fit? Be honest.

I'm only seven out of ten, ain't I? Eight on a good day.

If you're a seven, then I'm a four.

You're definitely a ten.

What's going on with you?

I saw your brother, and I was like, "Hi, Billy!"

And he completely blanked me.

He barely notices anything, Leila.

I need to up my game.

What are you doing after school?

We need to plan Operation Make Billy Fall In Love With Leila.

We ain't doing anything,

because Billy's got a big match after school,

and I've got to wait for him.

I hate football.

Football! It's perfect.

What is?

Morning, guys. Morning.

Just some form for careers day.

Load of rubbish, innit?

Did you get one? Yeah, we all did.

Oh, yeah. Oi, K?

What was the name of that film

that Summer was talking about at Darcy's?

The Quirks Of Being A Flower, or summat?

KHALED LAUGHS

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.

Right. Cheers.

She can practically recite it from heart.

I can't remember her saying that.

BOTH: There's so many stalls.

See you, then.

I know it's important to see what Beyonce's wearing today,

but trust me, the careers fair is more important.

Er...it's Doja Cat. Whatever.

Go! Seize the day.

Come on.

So I'm going to be on my feet all day in some stinking kitchen,

wearing some dusty, old shoes?

Can I wear creps, at least?

So can anyone tell me what CRUD means?

I know.

Create, read, update, delete.

Oh, well done.

There is no way I'm going to help rich people pay less tax...

..unless I get my cut.

No.

No.

No.

No.

Definitely not.

So I have to look after some girl's bratty kids

while she's at work?

You can definitely make a difference to people's lives.

Yeah. No, that's what I want to do, definitely.

And the prize for most popular careers stand goes to...

When did you become a teacher? 30 years ago.

Is it something you're really interested in? Really.

You're in the army? I got into fights all the time at school.

You see, the army helped me find a way to channel that anger

into something positive.

OK.

Thanks.

I was just at the law stand.

Not for me - I hate suits - but you'd be amazing.

Why does everyone think they know what's best for my future?

You're smart and like talking to people.

Sometimes.

Anyway, we've got a football match after school.

Do you want to...watch? PHONE BUZZES

Er, it's my mum's speech. I have to go.

You can take her home with you if you like. Really?!

Or better still, we could swap actual mothers.

Why would you want to trade your glamorous mum for mine,

a part-time receptionist whose Yorkshire puds never rise?

Sounds dreamy.

Er, Polly. This is for people on the fast track to global success.

Don't you have some bassoon club to go to?

It's clarinet.

Whatever.

What are you planning to do with your future?

Going to be an influencer.

Oh. It's the perfect career choice, Cassidy.

Shallow - check.

Unfulfilled - check.

Desperately needs followers to feel any self-worth...

..check.

SHE SCOFFS Yeah, well.

You can't even influence your own hair, Summer!

Are we ready?

Come on!

APPLAUSE

I am going to show you how to nail any interview,

and therefore, any career.

That's right.

But my top tip might surprise you.

Lean in, stars of tomorrow.

It's all about confidence.

Right now, you might not believe that you can rule the world,

but fake it till you make it.

To demonstrate - some role play. University interviews.

And I'd like to invite my beautiful baby girl, Summer,

to join me up front for the first one.

Come on up now. Don't be shy.

A round of applause for Summer, everyone.

Remember the script.

It's just a bit of fun.

Don't embarrass me in front of all these people.

Bill.

Cos you're probs going to need a lawyer at some point.

Do you know anything about family law?

Custody and that.

Thank you for attending this university interview.

Now, can you tell me why you want to study...

Nursing.

Surely you mean medicine, so you can be an actual doctor.

Like that nice Sarah Jarvis off the telly.

WHISPERS: I said don't embarrass me.

OK.

Sure.

Medicine.

WHISPERS: Are you happy now?

WHISPERS: Wish I'd brought snacks.

Look, it's not my place to tell you what to do with your life.

But...are you sure about this one?

Well, "see the world", it says.

So at least it would get me out of Cov.

THEY CHUCKLE

"Secure income.

"Fitness. Discipline."

Isn't that what you always tell me?

I need discipline to channel my frustration.

Yeah, but there are other ways -

better than being sent into a war zone.

Well, no disrespect, but what do you know, sir?

Well, for me, it was about martial arts.

Karate. Still is.

Three nights a week, when I can get away from you lot.

That must be a nightmare on your knees, sir,

at your... At my age?

Funny.

You know, I would challenge you to a head-to-head, but... No. Thanks.

You're not scared, are you? BILLY SCOFFS

I wouldn't want to embarrass you, sir.

I'm a black belt.

Go on, sir. Come on.

So what do you reckon? Give it a go?

I ain't got none of them white pyjamas things.

Or, do you know what, I'd be right there with you, sir?

I thought you said you weren't scared.

Yeah, yeah. You're funny, you know, sir.

THEY LAUGH

What do you think has been your biggest achievement to date,

and why?

Um... Where to begin?

Winning the egg and spoon race in Year 3.

TITTERING

Summer, be serious. Please.

OK.

Something I'm truly proud of...

I was out of school for a while last year and not many people know why.

Back to the interview. I needed professional help.

Summer. That's enough!

See, the thing is, I didn't know who me was, and I spent...

..so much time pretending to be someone else.

But after lots of talking, you know,

I finally feel like I'm getting to understand who I really am now.

And so...

..yeah, that's my greatest achievement.

Anyway.

Thanks so much for your time.

A round of applause for Summer, everyone.

MUTED APPLAUSE

Any other volunteers?

You there, with the lovely hair, up you come.

Summer. I, er...

What's up?

Are you all right?

I'm sick of her.

I'm sick, sick, sick of her!

It's my mum.

Yeah, I didn't think you were talking about Polly.

Do you want me to leave you in peace?

Stay.

Summer?

I, um...

Oh, careers day was truly epic!

You guys good?

I'll see you later.

What did you say to her?

We were just talking about...

..careers.

ON PHONE: The key components for any cheerleader

are enthusiasm, stamina and a killer smile.

Use a mirror to practise your routine,

and remember to keep working on your chants...

You're really good at that.

Even though it's a total waste of time. Why?

Because one, he stinks.

And two, he thinks you're just a kid.

I won't be 11 forever.

Bea used to have pompoms in her room.

Before Mum kicked her out.

How are your mum and Bea?

Yeah, no change.

Mum still doesn't want to know.

There we go. What do you think?

Awesome.

The state of them.

Well, if it isn't dumb boy Darcy.

Well done on finally making team captain.

Shame you had to move to this dump to do it.

You're only captain cos I left.

You didn't leave. You were thrown out.

Like the waste you are.

Save it for the pitch, lads.

Bring it on.

Your mate seems nice. Yeah.

See how nice he looks with his face in the mud.

Didn't know you were much of a footy fan, Becky.

Oh, I'm not. I'm just here to support Billy and Darcy.

This is you all over, isn't it?

Lie down, let people walk all over you. Me?!

Wasn't exactly a fair fight, was it?

Oi, Billy.

Nice one, yeah?

Hey, you.

How's your leg?

Done worse on my skateboard.

Nice goal, though.

That sending off was shocking. You should sue or something.

Yeah. Not my finest moment.

You all right, mate?

I just... I just thought...

Yeah?

Forget it.

I got the note.

So...

..we going out or not?

We should give it a proper burial.

For lunch. It's not all about you, Darcy.

You don't talk much, do you?

Your face says a lot.

Good chat.

A food bank? You're here to help out.
