My castaway this week
is a musician and rock star.

Thank you, Sue. It's a pleasure to be here.

Talk about the first song you want.
You're eight, you know that, right?

Right. I'm on a desert island,
and my songs are...

I know exactly what they are.

And now,

the moment everyone has been waiting for...

Please clap your hands

for the
star of 2006.

The first, the only one,

George Bobbin!

You're a genius.

You're a faggot.

BAND 1
SCHOOLBOY

No. I'm sorry, but I don't want
a bunch of naked people

squirming in the living room.

It's a body drawing class,
not an orgy.

Only the model is naked.
You've met Toby, love.

I just want to keep Toby's balls
away from our pillows

if that's not too much to ask, would you mind?

Darling...

- Julia.
- My name is "Mom".

I think we should go home.

You played the keyboard very well yesterday.

- It was very good.
- It's for the Talent Show.

They call it a talent show,
but it's much more than that.

It's a...

It's a presentation.

You need courage to do that,
a real commitment.

I hope I can say the same
about the school.

Absolutely.

- Great progress.
- It's better that way, George.

This is the last year, the last chance.

Now or never, right?

- What's wrong?
- Honey, don't stress.

It's going to be...

- Difficult.
- Mathematics.

- History.
- Chemistry.

- French.
- Geography.

- It doesn't seem...
- Natural.

- He just...
- He's not a natural athlete.

Clumsy.

Good afternoon.

- Mr. Zeppelin.
- Like Led Zeppelin?

No.

Right, where to start?

Well, from our point of view,
George loves music.

Well, he certainly likes it.

But I think it's in the classroom

that George and I faced each other,
so to speak.

Because in the classroom
there's no time for MTV

or for experiments.

You see, music is math,

but with noise.

Yes! Do you see that?

That's George's problem,

and that's why he'll fail
in the music exam.

- My goodness.
- He played the same sequence

of noises and sounds

in each of my classes
during this period.

And when I give him
something else to play,

he looks at me like that.

Well, it's only the beginning of the year,

you can't say
that it's too late.

Don't get me wrong,
he has some talent,

but I ask you to make an effort
to face the challenges of the course.

This is a school, George.
It's not a garage band.

Now that your parents are here,

do you have anything to say for yourself?

Yes. When will the candidates be considered
for the Graduate Talent Show?

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Yes, there's one more, I'm sorry.
It won't be long.

What a great year!

Yes, huge.

Now that I've been appointed director
of the third stage,

I feel it's my duty
take a more advanced view

and offer professional guidance
to people like George,

who are in their final year.

In your opinion, what would be
some good options for George

in terms of his career,
since he's failing at everything?

Sorry, my husband makes a lot of drama.

Why don't we consult
George's files, perhaps?

Very well, yes...

Why don't we see this
as an evil that comes to good?

I've always thought that George
has great untapped potential,

and maybe we didn't push him
enough to realize that.

You know you can change that. There's time.

How do you see yourself in ten years' time?

Let's go. What would your passion be?

- The music.
- Great, great!

That's great. What do you love about music?

I want a kiss and other things, George!

Well then, one less.

I see some positive points.

Seriously. It was a disaster.

Well, I heard Ms. Anderson
say that her son

has untapped potential,

but you want to focus on the negative.

Everything will be fine, right?

Not everyone is cut out for school.
You are unique.

Yes, "unique" doesn't pass the tests,
Julia.

You don't need tests
to get into music.

You just need to be talented
and connected.

Connected?

Yes, it depends on who you know...

Who does he know?

He doesn't need to know now!

Wow, you look great today, darling.

Calm down. That's what happens
when we don't go to the flamenco.

You get tense in the wrong places.

Radio, please?

The divorce rumors
seem to be true,

since Mike and Penelope Marvin
have stopped playing

in the middle of the song
"Pillow Fight"

to actually have a fight.

The iconic duo left the stage
and canceled...

I had a crush on Mike Marvin.

How is this news?

George?

Boy?

Boy?

Hello.

- Are you lost?
- No, I'm not lost. I'm just...

Enjoying.

Right.

Let's start the day then.

Max, Max!

Max... Bands from all over the world...

Are you happy with this school?

- Can we not do this?
- How are you feeling?

- I don't want...
- Your father...

- Guys, the last few days...
- What does your mother think about your father?

- No, please.
- What's going on...

No, please. Get out. Fuck off!

- Hey!
- I'm so sorry.

What's his problem?

That's why you were expelled
from your last school, man.

BAND 2
SHINE, JESUS, SHINE

Thank you, everyone.
And thank you, Mr. Zeppelin.

Well, I have a very nice announcement
to make this morning.

Some of you may have noticed
a new student among us.

I'm sure you've
have heard of The Marvins.

And if you haven't heard
you'll recognize many of their songs,

like "Silent Eyes", "Love Shot",
"Don't, But Don't Don't",

and "Pillow Fight",
to name but a few.

Finally, due to a recent
change in circumstances,

Penelope Marvin moved to the region

and enrolled Max here to finish
his last year with us.

All right. Calm down, please.

Max, we welcome you with affection and support.

Enjoy your days
here at Saint Sebastian's

and remember: "Patet Omnibus Veritas".

The truth is open to everyone.

Thank you, Leanne, with the recorder,
a very underrated instrument.

I know that the theoretical part of the exam

may seem a bit boring.

But after they start learning,

I think you'll find
that it's a lot of fun.

But of course the practical "legal" part
is just as important.

With that in mind...

Damn.

George, it's your turn.

George?

Before Christmas, please.

I can't do it.
I really can't!

George, didn't we talk about this?

I think it's getting better.

Right. Have you done your homework?

- Was there homework?
- Sit down, Mr. Bobbin.

Max.

Please come and save us.

You play the keyboard, don't you?

- A little.
- Modest.

With your parents,
you must have a natural talent.

Not quite.

No, come on. Don't be shy.

Let's see what you know.

Are you kidding?

- George?
- I'm sorry, George.

Not for me. For Max.

Sorry.

- No problem.
- No...

I'm going to lie, that was impressive.

Very moving.

Really.

Well, before the bell rings,

I would like to briefly mention
the Talent Show.

Almost everyone should know
that it is customary here at Saint Sebastian's

that final year students
finish the year

with a kind of talent show.

I have a sign-up sheet that will be
on my desk for the rest of the day.

And I'd like everyone to introduce themselves.

Mike, you were part of the Luton punk
scene in your youth.

You're used to
to a bit of rebellion, aren't you?

Now his son Max has
problems with the media.

- Like father, like son?
- I'm a working-class guy.

It seems I didn't have the conditions.

And now, I see my son growing up,
I see his courage...

There's class tomorrow. No more radio.

Good evening.

Yes, but in the old days...

BOX 3
SUPERSTAR

Did you do your math homework?

I can't do my math homework.

Are you good at it?

- Hello?
- Yes.

Yes, I'm good.

Great. Can you take a look?

It's a triangle.

We need to be a little more specific
than that.

Yes, of course.

I'd say it's pretty big.

Beautiful angles.

Yes, it's a good one.

Should it be:
"It's big and has beautiful angles"?

More or less.

Maybe write some numbers?
To give it a mathematical touch.

Okay, thanks.

You're welcome.

- What's your name?
- I'll go then.

- It's all right.
- George.

George? I'm Max.

Yes, that's right.

You see, I'm very late

and I don't know anyone here, so...

You'll do well. You're kind of famous,
people will talk to you.

I need a private tutor,

and you're obviously a
of mathematics.

So, if you want.

Private lessons?

- For triangles?
- Of course.

- Private lessons?
- Yes. How much do you charge?

What?

No, I don't charge.

I feel bad
that you're doing this for free.

Can I help you with something else in return?

Sorry, that's... That's not...

That's not how I play.

That was awful. I'm so sorry.

Sorry, I didn't have breakfast today

because it took me so long to wake up. So...

I'm shaking a bit.

Imagine that, but twice,

maybe even three times better.

- I'm going to play it again.
- I like it.

It's good.

Not enough, then...

I'm not going to lie, you're a bit rustic.

So rustic.

You know, it's something unique.

Yes, it's true.

It's unique.

- Yes.
- All the best things are, then...

Well, no one else liked it.

I start playing and they don't even hear.

Yes, you can't please everyone.

They hear when you play.

I put my name down to take part
in the talent show at the end of the year.

And I know that if people really
listen to me,

give me a chance,

it's my only chance
to do something big,

something important.

Help me and I'll tell you
everything I know about triangles.

Okay.

How about tonight?
I could go to your place.

We can do something,
work on your music.

In my house?

Yes.

What day is it?

Thursday. Yes, yes.

Great.

Can I have your number?

Thank you.

- Is it a landline?
- Yes.

Just ask for George.

Don't you have a cell phone?

I've never needed one.

No problem.

See you later.

Well done, everyone. Have a good night
and I'll see you bright and early tomorrow.

Thank you.

George, can you wait a minute?

I'll save you a seat on the bus.

Bye.

I won't be long. I'm just...

I've been thinking about you
since Father's Night,

thinking about how much you
remind me of myself.

When I was younger.

I didn't find school easy.

So, I guess I just wanted to

that you knew that
your academic situation is...

I believe in you.

You can count on me for everything.

Are you all right?

Okay, you can go.

This is my house.

- You can put your things...
- Yes.

Hello, champ.

Is that your father?

No, that's Toby.

- My room is... We've just...
- George!

Dad.

Jeffrey, this is my friend.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hi, I know you.

- Why do I know you?
- Yes, you are...

- You are... Jesus.
- He's not Jesus.

I'm Max.

Are you with George?

George said I could
have dinner with you,

but don't worry
if you don't have a seat.

Master Jeff! Cool, man.

I can't find my underwear.

- For God's sake.
- I'll be right there.

Of course you can stay for dinner.

And so I can introduce myself properly.

It's a pleasure to have you here, Max.

Macaroons?

Don't tell me you don't eat gluten.

My mother said
that she was always happy here before...

Well, everything.
It seemed natural for her to come back.

I need to confess something.

I once had a huge crush on your father.

- Huge.
- More noodles, Max?

No, thank you.

- Really?
- Yes, everyone did.

He looked like an Adonis with a guitar.

He must be more wrinkled
than you remember.

I still need to contain myself.

Please stop. Please stop.

Are all these drawings yours?

Yes, some of them were made by me.
Some of them are from me.

Thank you, Julia.

It's nothing he's never seen before.

- You have a girlfriend, don't you?
- Not really, no.

Wow, you're so young.

Go out, have fun.

Date everyone while you can.

Double date!
Take George, he never leaves.

If he wants to.

Have you finished, darling?

Leave the dishes and go have fun.

Thank you very much for dinner.
It was great.

It's a pleasure.

Well, congratulations. That was embarrassing.

So...

This is...

Thank you.

Sorry, let me just...

Please sit down.

- Are you on guard duty?
- No. I'm going...

- So...
- So, you wanted to know

a bit more about triangles?

Yes, I'm dying to
to learn more about triangles.

Well done, good. Good attitude.

Let's take a look here, then.

Actually, it's a bit complicated.

- What are they?
- They're just ribbons.

What, celebrities? My dad's there.

It's from a radio program I like.

What are these?

They're nothing. That's...

That's something I used to do
when I was a kid,

but now I don't do it anymore.

These are all from last year.

As I said,

I don't do that anymore.

- Can I hear one?
- No!

I'm sorry. It's just that they're...

They're personal.
They're like a diary, you won't...

I'm sorry.

Anyway, you want to start
doing a bit of...

We could,
but I don't care about math.

To be honest,
I think you know less than I do.

But I wouldn't mind
to hear your music again.

Can you show me how it starts?

No problem.

It's not going to be as good as usual

because I've just eaten a lot.
I'm still digesting.

It's all right. Just play the damn song.

Yes.

Right.

I'll repeat that quickly.

Perfect, perfect. Keep going.

Have you written lyrics
or do you have a melody?

No? That's fine.

Can I touch it?

Yes, yes, of course.

I'm thinking of starting at the bottom.

Maybe if we try to find her,
and she starts in that tone?

That's very good.
Then we'll do some...

I thought that was very good.
Let's work on it,

but I think it's good.

From the beginning... One, two, three, four...

Taking me with you

And then we go to the chorus

When we find him

That's very good. We'll find it.

Would you do the talent show with me?

What's that? No.

I can play and you can sing.

- We can do it here.
- Nobody listens to us here.

So what?

Look, if you want to do
the talent show, that's fine.

And I've already told you
that I'll help you with the music, but...

When the day comes, it's just you.

No one will listen if it's just me.

- Of course they'll listen.
- No, they won't.

- George, if...
- Sorry, I don't mean to be rude,

but you can't understand
because you are...

You.

Sorry, I have to go.

No problem.

I want to keep doing this
if you want me to.

Absolutely.

Great.

Thank you for teaching me so much
about triangles.

You're welcome.

Hello.

I was going to the bathroom, which is...

That way. I wasn't listening.

But if I were listening,
it sounded very, very good.

Julia, you need to go to the bathroom.

The name is still Mom and I have to go.

It was a pleasure to meet you, Max.

You too. Thank you for seeing me.

Whenever you want. Really, whenever you want.

Right, I've got to go.

Right...

See you tomorrow.

- I'll accompany you.
- It's all right. I'm not the queen. I'm not the queen.

MUSIC IS NOT MATH,
BECAUSE I HATE MATH

TRACK 4
TAKE ME FOR A WALK

Hi, sorry.

No problem.

I have something for you.

I cleaned the chip and charged it,
it should work fine.

Don't worry.

You won't be able to
let go of this thing now.

Speaking of phones,
a girl asked me for my number.

Which girl?

You must be in one of these.

That's from a long time ago.

I've changed a lot.
You won't find me.

It's you!

And your face?

In the middle of a sneeze.
Were you talking about this girl?

You should wear your bangs again.
It looks great on you.

Yes, later.
The girl? Who was the girl?

Molly, is she in our class?

Do you know her?

- More or less.
- She's cute, isn't she?

Yes, a beautiful face.

She's probably in one of those.

Did you give her your number?

Yes, why not?

Yes, yes, that's...

Yes, why not?

- My goodness...
- Why are you seeing this?

It's boring and old.

- What are you doing together?
- Just talking.

Cool.

Anyway, I just wanted to say
that you were incredible at soccer.

Like that goal you scored...

- Wow!
- Thank you.

Are you doing anything
this weekend?

I'm going to the city tomorrow.

Yes, we'd love to.

What?

Nothing.

Don't worry if you're busy.

He's not.

That's perfect, then.

I'll write to you later?

I don't think I should...

Why? She invited us.

No, they invited you, like a...

- Like a date.
- Yes, she can take a friend.

A double date.

Of course.

See you tomorrow.

Dress well.

- Hello.
- What's up?

- Why are you so sweaty?
- What a nice outfit.

It's the jacket, it's suede.

But it's worth it. You look great.

They didn't have vanilla vodka.

George, this is Polly.
Polly, George.

You'll get on very well.

Face of one, snout of the other.

Do you hear anything?

Music, it's...

Man, I love music.

You played the recorder, right?
I remember that.

Polly, come on.

Come over here.

Hello!

What's up?

I don't think I know how to do that.

- What are you doing with Molly?
- I'm doing nothing.

I tried that. It didn't work.

Just follow the rhythm.

I don't know what that means!

I need specific advice,
is that okay?

- How are you doing?
- I don't know...

I'm just walking, and she seems
having fun, so...

But come on, let's take off the jacket.

I feel it's restricting you.

Let's take off your jacket.

- And you must be hot.
- Yes, I...

See? That's much better.

Let's sort it out.
Let's relax our shoulders,

let your shoulders relax.

That's right. See, that's better.

Let's do some steps,
make the bars.

The simple ones.

- And the doubles.
- Do you want me to do it?

Let's do the triples,
with a small jump, a good jump.

And some fours too.

Do you know all four? Keep going.

Let's get drunk.

If you help me,
I think I can improve.

No, that doesn't make sense.

- You did very well.
- Yes, that's right.

Yes, I did.

Let's see if we can do this
from the start.

Almost...

Very kind, but I... No, thank you.

Let's go. I know you hate this
as much as I do.

No, I'm having a great time.

I love the city,

and you're so...

- That was very good!
- Yes!

Sorry, I'm usually better
on dates.

It's not your fault.

It's typical of me to be dragged
on a date with a gay man.

Why do you think that?

I don't usually dress like this.

It doesn't matter.

Are you all right?

So, what now?

- I don't know. What time is it?
- Cara,

it's 15:30.

What?

- Jeffrey... Do you remember?
- Yes.

He said to come back at 4:00.
Homework.

- To hell with that.
- Yes.

Of course.
I'm an adult now, so...

My parents don't understand that.

If I want to go home,
say, at 4:30,

whatever.

Show them, man.

Yes.

Like... What do you mean?

You know, standing up for yourself.

That's right. In other words.

As I said,
I can go home at 4:30.

I think you should
send a firm message.

TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS

- Beautiful drawing.
- Thanks. What? Holy shit!

Rick, the mask.

Right...

Did you think it wise to come here?

Have you seen new street art
popping up around town?

You came here unannounced.

He thought: "Let's find out
his true identity."

Pathetic.

- We just wanted some piercings.
- What's that?

Right.

I recognize you.

Yes? You don't know?

Rick does the piercings, then...

- I'm having lunch.
- What's lunch?

I'm having lunch.

Let's sort it out.

I think he lives here.

In there.

Do you want piercings or not?

Right, I think that's about right.

- I want it that way.
- Yes, it could be that way.

What do you think?

Yes.

Let's give it a try.

If it doesn't work this time,
I'll try again.

All right, all right.
Quick, quick, get the piercing.

Put the piercing in.

Very good. That's perfect.

What's up?

Right. Your turn.

Okay.

Right, what do we do?

I think an eyebrow would look good.

Yes, I can imagine that.

Eyebrows, that's crazy.

Let's take action.

Let's see...

Maybe in the ear, I think.

- For now.
- Yes.

- Maybe the eyebrow afterwards...
- No problem, yes.

Everything's fine.

Okay, I'll just put it here.
No problem.

Okay, fine.

That's normal. It's totally normal.

I could have been a filmmaker,
but I said no.

- I'm an artist, an entrepreneur, an activist.
- Max!

I knew I knew you. It's in the paper!

Is your parents' divorce your fault?

Damn, they've found me.

- What are you doing?
- Is your parents' divorce your fault?

I...

Max, why the piercing?
Is it a cry for help?

Do you feel guilty
for your parents' divorce?

You, there...

How do you know each other? What do you think?

- Do you know what I think?
- You know what I think?

Come on, come on!

- He broke my camera.
- Go, go, go!

So, Stinky Rick...

No, it's Richard Hemming.
But my street name is Rick Magrelo.

And who are you?

To hell with the press!

- What the hell!
- Tell them they did it.

Those bloody leeches!

He was chasing us.
How can that be legal?

How many people get pierced?

How many parents get divorced?

- Why does it have to be a cry for help?
- I'm sorry.

No problem.

It looks a bit red.

Yes, it itches a bit.

You should take it off before you go home.

You can't take it off.

Why not? Why not?

It's too soon, the hole will close.

- How long should I wait?
- About six weeks.

- Damn...
- Oh my God.

I have to go home.

Of course, no problem.

Be honest...

Do you like it?

What was that all about?

That dance you did in the park?

It was a time step.

I'll show you. Start with a jump.

Jump, step, leap.

Forget it. I'll never be able to do that.

Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

Yes.

Pull.

I said pull!

No.

No.

Julia, please be patient.

George?

- Oh my God.
- Breathe.

Yes, I'm breathing.

Breathe, Jeff. Let's go.

Yes, let's go. Wait, wait, no.

No.

Hello!

Is that my jacket?

What about my shirt?

Why are you wearing
your mother's clothes?

- Wow!
- Why are you late?

- Because I wanted to be late.
- What was that?

Have you been drinking?

- Go, go, go!
- It's okay, Julia. Julia?

- It's no good. Now, let it go.
- Okay, sure.

Let's see why our son
was late

drunk and wearing his clothes.

Take off the damn headphones.

For God's sake.

What kind of drug is that?

Piercing.

It looks good on him.

Yes, having an ear infection
looks very good on him.

It's very recent. Did it hurt?

- Yes, it's a bit...
- Yes. Don't touch it.

- I loved it.
- Me too.

Of course, he didn't go alone.

Max also made one.

You're getting on well, aren't you?

- I'm very happy.
- Yes, but not me.

From my point of view,
he's a bad influence.

I'm sorry, there's no way.
You'll have to wear jeans.

You know what? Forget it, we're not going.

- We've lost the last three.
- And we'll lose the next three.

I'm tired of you underestimating me!

I'm not underestimating you.

Your pants won't zip.

- I'm just saying...
- I'm talking about George!

What? He put a piercing
in his ear! It's his life!

- That he's ruining it!
- Yes, what about our lives?

What about our wedding?

Don't be so dramatic, Julia.

I'm fine. You know what, I'm going alone.

You can stay here
with your damn pants,

I don't mind.

That way.

Let's go. Hurry up.

Let's go.

Right, okay.

One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

eleven, twelve, thirteen...

Well done!

They're all here.

Andy.

Button.

It's been a while.

Turtle Beach.

Turtle Beach.

Everyone, this is our hostess,

Donna Button.

Donna, these are our
from the final year.

Some of you

must be thinking that this trip
will be a bit of fun.

Organized by your school
before the final exams.

This is a training camp

created to push them to their limits.

To achieve things
that perhaps you didn't think you were capable of.

Stay tuned!

Listen to the instructions.

Welcome to Keldy Action Camp.

It's not a place,

but a state of mind.

All right. Let's go.

Turtle Beach.

Turtle Beach.

There was a crazy tension there, don't you think?

Hello, Max.

This place is really boring, isn't it?

As if we were sixteen.

Do you smoke?

You should.

- Why?
- It suits you.

I'm going to sneak out
tonight to smoke.

Are you coming with me?

- Alone.
- No need, thanks.

It's all right. I'll write to you
when I go to smoke,

- if you want to go...
- He doesn't smoke.

Did I talk to you, asshole?

Hey! Stop that.

Why are you with him?

It's like a charity
where you adopt a donkey?

I prefer him to you
on any occasion.

Jesus, take a joke.

That's it...

It's not a canoe. It's a kayak.

And there's a big difference.

Canoes are for tourists
and poetry readers.

This is an extreme sport.

Now, to give you an idea...

I think it's the best thing I've ever seen,

but I think it's a bad idea to annoy her.

-Try rowing
-What are you so afraid of?

While a grizzly bear
swims swiftly after you.

You know, it's a real shame.

If she was really nice,
she'd be the whole package.

Underwater.

But I won't let them get close...

So, if she was nice,
would she be your type?

What is the greatest danger

at Keldy Action Camp? Anyone?

- Boredom?
- Good. Anyone else?

You.

You are the most dangerous object
in this camp.

Any smokers here?

I don't think I have a type.

- Right, but you must...
- You!

Chatty,

you're going to help me demonstrate
our first exercise.

I won't let you
near a kayak

until they have mastered it.

I need another volunteer.

Both of you,

this is an exercise in trust

but it will also be difficult
for them to feel at ease

to overcome their limits.

Are you all right, soldier?

I understand.

It's not for cowards.

But believe me,
the rewards are limitless.

I'll show you.

- My goodness...
- I've got you. That's all right.

Have you set foot yet?

Yes, if you can help me.

Right.

I always hold you.

With the right attitude
and under my guidance,

you will make the most dangerous maneuvers

of the kayaking world.

On my whistle, Molly will do a spin
underwater with George,

will keep you down for a while

and then bring it back to the surface.

On my signal.

What was I saying all this time?

If you turn this thing close to the edge,

you can open someone's skull
like a watermelon.

I've already seen it.

I don't trust you in this pool.
Go take a bath.

This

is a bearing.

What happened, George?

Do you really want to finish school
without anything to show for it?

I won't have anything.

The Talent Show.

Sorry, the Talent Show?

What are you talking about?

I signed up.

I'm going to prove to everyone
that I'm not a loser,

that I'm good at something.

All right. But...

After the show,
everyone leaves, George.

That's why it's called
Graduate Talent Show.

The school will have finished

and the only important thing
will be work,

the grades, the tests that will open
or close doors

for the rest of his life.

I don't mind.

You may not care now,
but you're sixteen.

Do you know what you'll feel in ten years' time?

You don't know how I'm going to feel either.

I don't want to upset you, George.

We've been there.
We've had to make difficult decisions.

I had one,

and I can honestly say that

Yes, I made the right choice.

Yes, I'm the director of Level 3

in one of the fifteen best schools
in West Yorkshire.

If I hadn't made
that difficult decision,

I'd be wandering around
doing nothing with my life.

No steps to climb,

no savings, no security, just...

Wasting my life with...

Think about it, okay?

I've never tried sucking myself.

Man, ask us something to drink.

Do you want to take part?

Max, ask one.

All right...

I've never...

I had fantasies about Molly Olson.

See, that's a good one.

Man, she's so perfect!

It makes me very angry!

Your turn.

Okay.

I've never...

Come on, man. We're getting sober.

Sorry.

I've never...

I kissed my own reflection,
just to practice.

What's that? No.

I would never kiss a boy,
even if it was me.

Yes, that's gay.

I've never...

BOX 6
MALE NEEDS

- Can I get you something to drink?
- Yes.

Great.

Stop, Max, stop.

Is it worth it?

Yes.

Hey!

Max, wait.

Max!

Fucking journalist!

- Did you see it?
- Who else would it be?

No, no. It can't be, not here.

Don't worry.

It's very dark.

Let's go.

I'm freezing.

Sorry, I was a bit drunk.

Don't worry, everything's fine.

- Who do you think...
- It doesn't matter.

As you said, it was too dark
to take a good picture.

My God, did you shit your pants?

Then send me a message.

George?

Can you come into the living room for a minute, darling?

How was the trip?

Why are you sitting like that?

We just want to have
a quick chat, buddy.

Do you want it?

No, you go.

No problem.

Your mother thought that...

No, we both thought that,

that while you were away

It would be a good opportunity to...

You know, having a good conversation.

And you may have noticed that things
are a bit tense here.

And you know, that's not healthy
for any of us.

You don't have to worry, okay?

Your father and I decided to
to give each other a little space.

Just a little. It's as if we were
going on vacation,

but separate, right?

Then, at some point,
we'll come back from vacation and...

And then we'll see.

Is it the earring? Because I can take it off now.

No, George. That's not it.

Darling, it's not you.

Hello.

I just want to show you something.

I think it's a bit tacky.

I wouldn't wear that, but...

My editor disagrees and will publish it
in tomorrow's paper.

I haven't read the article yet,

but apparently it speaks
a serious drug problem.

What's that? That's a big lie.

Yes, I know.
But they don't want to listen to me.

Look, I'm not a monster.

The reputation of an innocent young man
is at stake,

and you have the chance
to clarify things

before they publish this garbage.

Are you his best friend?
Are you his boyfriend?

What do you want?

Your name, for a start.

George.

So, this photo of you and Max Marvin,

consumed illicit substances
at the time?

No, not at all.

That's a photo of you and Max Marvin,
and you weren't using drugs?

Yes, no... No, we're not.

Surname?

Bobbin.

Thank you, Mr. Bobbin.

You were very kind to your boyfriend.

Yes, I'm free tonight.

If you need a model,
I know an excellent one.

Toby Long. Of course it is. That's him!

Have a great day, darling.

Sorry, I spoke to my son.

MAX MARVIN KISSES MUD MAN

I knew it.

- George!
- No, no, no.

- George! George!
- Are you two together?

Do you just want fame, George?

- George, George!
- Have you met the Marvins?

Excuse me.

You can stop right there
or I'll call the police.

They need to leave now.

It's the boyfriend.

NO NEW MESSAGES

FROM MAX:
MEET ME AT MACK'S CAFÉ

The reporter said

that they would do a story
about you using drugs,

and how crazy I was going.

They said I could
clarify things and I...

I'm leaving.

Where did you...

- For how long?
- I'm going to live with my father.

I thought you liked it here.

My mother barely gets out of bed.

There are journalists everywhere.

At least in London,
I go unnoticed.

I got it wrong, very wrong.

But please, please...

Stay.

I need you here.

What do you need me for?

You are...

Well, for many things.

Yes, like what?

Like...

- I can't touch my...
- What?

The school talent show?
Is that right?

No, no.

- No, that's...
- What else, then?

Just tell me.

Why do you want me to stay?

You know...

BAND 7
DRY YOUR EYES

MAX MARVIN KISSES MUD MAN

I'm sorry
that they did this to you.

Let it ring.

Whoever you are, you can leave a message.

It's me.

Call back.

Hello.

Yes, yes, he's here.

George?

Are you all right?

Anyway, I just wanted to...

Why didn't you tell us?

We're your parents, you should have said.

SILENCE, PLEASE
TESTS IN PROGRESS

BAND 8
HEARTBEATS

- Adams?
- Here.

- Bartlett?
- Present.

Bobbin?

That's enough.

George, meet me later. Daniels?

It's a cliché, but it's true...

Today's news
is tomorrow's old newspaper.

Let me know if you need anything.

Hello, would you like a lift?

- I can walk.
- Come on, let's go. I left work early.

All right with the exams?

I never said...

About the newspaper.

- I didn't deal with it...
- That's fine.

Damn.

Oh my God.

So...

I think...

So you're gay, huh?

By the way, I'm not judging.

I'm not.

How long have you known?

I don't know.

I don't know if I...

You're still figuring things out.

That's valid.

Listen...

I know I can be
a bit of a spoiler.

You must think
it's because I don't understand you.

God, I hated school.

I hated being his age.

I never knew

the right thing to say
or the right thing to do.

It always seemed so easy for others.

It was frustrating.

That feeling
never went away for me.

So when I see you
going your own way,

I get very scared, George,
because I love you.

And I don't want to see you unhappy.

But you seem to be unhappy.

You were right, I...

This was my year to sort everything out.

I really thought I had solved it.

Now it's too late.

No.

It's never too late, man,

do you understand?

Yes.

Never.

Oops, okay!

Imbecile!

Unbelievable.

Hello.

Hello.

If you have something to wash,
speak now or forever hold your peace.

- Dad gave me a lift home.
- How nice.

What's that?

It's a pamphlet.

Music college? That's a good idea.

I haven't heard you play lately.
Shouldn't you practise for the concert?

I'm giving up.

It seems like a waste
after so much work.

It was a waste.

Nobody cares, nobody listens.

I'm not good enough.

You can't close yourself off when things
don't work out, George.

Things never work out.

And they never will if you give up.

- You have to fight.
- You don't fight.

Dad's gone
and you're acting like...

You're here doing the laundry.

I'm getting on with my life.

Your father and I have tried everything.

Everything. And we're still trying
because we love each other.

You do the best you can.

But at the end of the day,
you have to move on.

If you want Max,

stop whining and go talk to him.

And I'd better listen to the keyboard
at maximum volume, do you hear me?

I said that my tapes
were like a diary,

but they are also a fantasy.

I used to imagine millions
of people tuned in,

attentive to my every word...

Because they loved me.

This tape is for you.

GRADUATE TALENT SHOW 2006

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Welcome, everyone

to the Saint Sebastian
by Saint Sebastian in 2006.

Before we start,

I would like to address
directly to the graduates.

School life has been, in a way,
his whole life so far.

But the day after tomorrow, you will enter
into a new and much bigger world,

where they will be responsible
for the choices they make.

Be bold

and remember:

"Patet Omnibus Veritas.

"The truth is open to all".

Let the show begin!

A student is an oak sapling,

planted gently in the soil,

protected from the pecking
of birds with a bad influence.

So I did this for my final exam
with my new cell phone.

It's about nature and things like that.

So, to all the memories,

school trips,
discos and plays.

If you're sad about leaving,
you're an idiot,

and I hope you spend your life
in misery and regret.

I don't mind!

Misery and regret

for the rest of his days.

Thank you, Polly.

Moving on!
Now we have George Bobbin.

Here we go.

What the hell are you wearing?

That's fine.
Start from the beginning, pick up the pace.

BONUS BAND
A BAD AND FUNNY IDEA

He's really good.

Let's go!

That's right, Jeffrey! Everybody!

Thank you all!

You did it.

Give it up for George Bobbin, everyone!

Hello, Button.

I love you, George!

Wow!

I'm so proud!

That took a lot of courage.

- Thanks, Mom.
- Lots of courage!

- Mom, stop.
- Lots of courage!

- It was incredible, excellent work.
- Thanks, Dad.

I'd like you to meet someone.

This is my father.
Dad, this is George, his mother Julia,

and his father, Jeffrey.

I'm sorry. I feel ridiculous
about this, but...

I didn't want to cause a fuss,
and I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Hello!

I'm a big fan!

- Thank you very much.
- Yes, indeed,

- me too. I'm a big fan.
- Thanks, man.

And this is the famous George.

- He's cute.
- Dad, stop!

I think we should celebrate.

Espresso Martini, what do you think?

Yes, we have to get up early,
but if we don't take too many...

Yes, I... You know what?

I think I ruined my back
with dancing.

Go on, have fun.

I'm proud of you.

Bye, Dad.

Thank you,

I'm very tempted.

But I have to go.
I'll stay with your father, yes.

I'm leaving, going home.
Can you get home?

- Yes, of course.
- Yes, that's fine.

Bye. Everything's fine.

- Well done.
- Mom, are you...

Bye.

- Your mother is great.
- Dad!

Hello, Mr. Marvin. I'm Lucinda Shan,

principal of Saint Sebastian School.

And I'm a big fan.

Well, thank you.

I'd like to know
if you want to venture out.

The school. The school grounds are beautiful.

Would you like to go for a walk?

- Yes. I'd love to.
- That's great.

I'll meet you in ten minutes?

Have fun, guys.

I received your tape.

A very eclectic mix.

So, you...

are you going back to London?

But my mother will still be here,

then I'm going back.

- That's right.
- It's Mike Marvin!

- He's here!
- My God, it's Mike Marvin!

I should go and get him before they do.

I'll send you messages, okay?

I think you should stay.

I want you to stay

at least during the summer.

What do you want to do?

I don't know.

Going to the city?

Getting an eyebrow piercing.

Great.

Come on, honey, we have to go.
We're going to be late.

Right, my love.

There's money to buy
Thai food or pizza.

- Sorry.
- Whatever you want.

- You look beautiful.
- So do you!

Is everything all right?

- Yes.
- Yes? Well done. Have fun!

Flamenco won't dance alone,
let's go!

- See you later.
- Bye.
