School Council 4 O'Clock Club

# Where'd you go when you know Nobody can understand you

# When it's just too much to handle?

# What do you do when you end up Somewhere you've never been to?

# Wash that stress out like it was shampoo

# You should stay It can change

# There's good things And bad things

# But one day down the line It's time to show the stock

# So the only time is now 4 o'clock! #

# It's a new day

# New day

# It's a new day

# My luck is about to change I'm up and out today

# Feel like something's got to give Cos I woke up so, so positive

# And with a brand-new plan

# Better than my sandwich with ham and jam

# Better than the lawnmower engine I attached to my bicycle bredren

# Better than the three cap fashion And the catchphrase too

# Three stack stacking

# Now I won't deny it Today man I'm so excited

# So hyped I could burst at the seams Cos I might get the girl of my dreams

# With a plan that's so unstoppable It's a new day anything's possible

# Waking up to a whole new day We can start this a whole new way

# We could sing, get the school to say, new day, new day

# Waking up to a whole new day We can start this a whole new way

# We could sing, get the school to say, new day, new day

# Turn the music up See how loud it can get

# Me, I walk with a bounce in my step

# It's a new thing I want to sing

# Cos it turns out I got the blueprint

# For the ideal date, with Miss Poppy So I feel great

# Yeah, I had a lot of other ideas But this is the best one right here

# See I thought about a football match

# Or video games played at my flat

# Just some activity she might like Like getting that engine off my bike

# I need something she really loves Something she sincerely does

# Two tickets She'll flip when she sees them

# A musical instrument history museum

# Waking up to a whole new day We can start this a whole new way

# We could sing Get the school to say, new day

# Waking up to a whole new day We can start this a whole new way

# We could sing, get the school to say, new day, new day, hey! #

Miss Poppy, oh what a surprise, glad I bumped into you, actually.

Are you OK?

Fine.

Oi, no running in the corridor!

Some people...no respect... for the rules.

So, you still up for the museum, Saturday?

What, Medieval Musical Instruments, well, who'd want to miss that?

Aw, it'll be great, and really educational

Lady Grey Museum, Saturday morning, got it! OK.

It's a date.

Put it away. This is a classroom, not a lending library.

Be a bit more like Josh over there.

Have you got your homework diary?

So can I see it?

Before we all die of old age?

-Hello!

-Sorry, sir, I couldn't hear you.

These are banned. Take them to Mr Byron,

until he's happy for you to have them back.

Til he's happy? I'll never get them back!

Excuse me, sir, Mr Pinder said...

Wow, I wasn't expecting a house party!

-Can we help you, Carter?

-Yes, Mr Pinder said to give you this

because I was listening to it in lessons.

Josh!

I'm getting told off by the whole staff, that's a new record, right?

Detention. That's the Four O'Clock Club to you, I believe.

BELL RINGS

Oi, you lot, you seen this? Personal appearance by DJ Speedrun?

-Yeah cool, can't afford it though.

-It's a free roadshow, you plankshop!

But it's all the way out in Legion Park though, isn't it?

You got the train fare? Cos I haven't.

I'll think of something, I've got contacts.

-Contacts?

-What are you doing?

-As well as glasses.

-Oh, dear.

We'll have to call you 'six eyes' We'll have to call him 'six-eyes'.

Which brings us to the final item. The school council.

Is that still going?

Perhaps you'd like to share your insights

with the rest of us, Mr Carter?

I was just saying I'm amazed it's lasted so long.

How many different ways can there be

to decide where the recycling bins are going?

But I'm sure it's amazing now. Go council!

As luck would have it, the School Council needs a new chairperson.

Seeing as you're so interested, Mr Carter, the job's yours!

What, no way! I can't, I'm too busy running the 4 O'Clock Club.

Oh really? I got the impression they were running you!

I'm trying to make a connection.

Well, don't!

All those in favour of Mr Carter being appointed Council chair?

Oh, come on!

Lend me your music?

No way, you've already had yours confiscated.

Which is why I need yours.

Fine, just try not to get busted this time.

Thank you.

That's a killer track.

# Up so high That there ain't no down

# Everybody see me Hanging with the clowns

"Hanging with the clowns?"

Yeah.

Shut up, man, it's clouds, not clowns.

Why would he be hanging with clowns?

Well, he's at the top of his game.

Compared to him the people around him

are a bunch of clowns know how he feels.

"Up with the clouds." Up. Where you get clouds.

Look, lots of clouds, zero clowns.

It's clowns, you clown!

It's clouds you...cloud!

What?

-It's clouds.

-No, it isn't!

-Yeah, it is!

Hello, sir.

Erm, sir, that's not fair, it's mine.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-That's detention for you as well then, Ryan.

-Well done(!)

No sweat, ladies, we can use mine.

See? It's all right.

Detention!

BELL RINGS

So hot! Sir, I'm getting my book all sweaty.

This is so wrong, it's like cruelty to kids. I'm calling the RSPCA.

Ties on, Zoe-Marie. If it was up to me then cool,

but rules are rules and I've got Byron on my back.

When are they fixing the radiators?

You know how long these things take.

-Would you like me to have a quiet word, sir?

-No, it's OK.

-Only it's no bother.

-No, thanks. OK, er, bit of quiet. Silent reading.

GROANS

Just for today! Gotta get all this paperwork done

-for the school council.

-Boring!

And I need to find a student to join up.

Good luck, sir, won't be easy to fit the sort of kid they go for.

Or you ask Ness.

Er, I don't think so! Could the school council do this?

-I'd vote for you.

-Well, why not one of you lot?

Nah, cos we're like cooler than that and not like, whatever yeah! Yuck!

They're not interested in what real kids have to say.

Maybe that's the reason I... you don't rate the school council.

-Cos there's no-one like you on it.

-Like me, what're you saying?

Say that to my face, yeah?

He's trying to say the School Council would be a lot less boring

if one of us was on it.

What we're saying is thanks, but no thanks.

School council got their thing going on, we've got ours. Everyone's happy

You're good with words.

Bruv, please, you're making me blush.

If you think Josh should be on the school council, raise your hands.

Rather you than us.

-Come on!

-Welcome aboard.

# Now this is a smart move

# Kinda thing you call a win-win You can't lose

# In other words It's the perfect opportunity

# To show what I could do for him He could do for me

# Coz he'll shine if he starts to work harder

# And I could be the teacher who changed Josh Carter

# Make him use that mouth for something positive

# Instead of that backchat and a lot of lip!

# I can see he agrees These are clever words

# That's the dumbest idea that I've ever heard!

# I've spent two years building up a rep

# Now my doughnut of a brother's going to rip it all to shreds

# I mean, school council?

# Doesn't he know it's all goody-goodies

# Nerds and kids with BO

# Doesn't he know how lame I'll find it

# I might have to go but I don't have to like it

# So that's decided

# Now we stop talking about recycling bins

# And begin the surprises I could revolutionise this

# Whole school, played the fool but now I could change the rules

# Dress-down Wednesday No-one wears their uniform

# DJ Friday, I could put my music on

# Ban staff meetings I hate them so much

# Marshmallow-Monday toast my own lunch

# After that success I'll get political

# First Prime Minister To ever work within a school

# King of the cool in my rightful position

# I'll be ruler and rule with precision

# Rule the council That's just the first step

# Rule the country That could still work yet

# I rule, the world I could work mine

# Shh, look at him he couldn't rule a straight line

# Doesn't he know how lame I'll find it?

# I might have to go but I don't have to like it. #

OK, so let's get this started.

Erm, first up on the agenda it...

Location of the recycling bins.

Sir, technically we should sign-off the school council trip first, sir.

A trip! That's more what I'm about. Where we going?

Elmsbury Town Hall.

They're debating where to put the new speed bumps.

-At least tell me we're missing maths?

-No. It's after school, on a Tuesday,

-you won't be missing anything.

-Except having a life!

Yeah, enjoy that!

Sir, you're coming too, sir.

-What?

-We need someone to drive.

-The school minibus.

Sir, it's quite good fun, sir.

We go every year, they have a tea shop.

See what we're dealing with here? A tea shop!

Well, you know, lets have a debate on it.

Isn't the whole point to debate things? Where do you want to go?

Well, there is one place.

That stupid roadshow!

-Yep! "That stupid roadshow" is the perfect place to go!

-How's that?

Well, you lot went to the Town Hall last year right?

So that's history. And the roadshow is the future.

Sir, it's supposed to be educational, sir.

You learn a lot more when you're enjoying yourself.

And you know, the roadshow's all about speaking to people, teamwork.

And I tell you one thing, it is not about speed bumps!

Learn that!

OK, so all those of favour of switching the trip to the roadshow?

Yes! Get in! Uh, I mean, motion carried.

BELL RINGS

-So you reckon it's hanging with the clouds?

-Yeah.

Right, thanks, Beth.

Right, that's five for hanging with the clouds, four for clowns.

-Result!

-And four hanging with the crowds, three with the crowns,

and one hanging with two big losers!

Molly must've heard a re-mix.

Right so that's it, back where we started.

Me being right and you being an idiot!

So if you were wrong, you'd...

I don't know... dress up as a clown?

Yeah?

-At break through school

-Yeah! And if you're wrong you do the same. Deal?

-Deal!

-Fine, I'll check on-line at home, print it out,

tomorrow morning, you can eat my worms!

Words, you idiot!

CHEERING

Here's super nerd, did they make you Prime Minister yet?

No, but I did the school to pay for me to go to the Prime FM Roadshow.

-As if.

-No, it's true, he talked the council into doing what he wanted.

What can I say, I'm a natural!

Really, well could you get them to ban school uniforms then,

or...ban...school?

No seriously, what we should do is make the lunchtimes longer

and that'd benefit the teachers too, wouldn't it, sir?

They should do up the girls lavvies like proper ones,

like in nightclubs and stuff, with make-up and towels and everything.

If anybody's got any suggestions, reasonable suggestions,

I can add them to the agenda

and we can see if Josh can try and make it happen.

Well, how about we fix the radiators?

I said reasonable, that'd take a miracle.

Well, what if we're allowed to take our ties off in here, then?

No sweat, I'm on it.

BELL RINGS

-Nathan.

-Hey!

Erm, do you fancy grabbing some lunch after the museum on Saturday?

Lunch, with you? Saturday?

Yep!

Hard to beat the thrill of a load of old ancient flutes

but we could give it a try.

Saturday, no.

OK, it was just a thought.

No, I'm sure I can sort it out,

or we might have to call the whole thing off.

I'll be in touch.

It's you that wanted to go in the first place.

DJ Speedrun dot com.

MUSIC PLAYS

# Yeah, DJ Speedrun in...

Clouds!

Ash can never know.

Ryan?

Hi, Ash, didn't see you there, can't stop.

Soooo?

Oh what, that DJ Speedrun thing?

No, music speaks to different people in different ways,

does it really matter who's right and wrong?

Well, you said it did! So what does the website say?

It said...

nothing.

The internet was down, like all of it, everywhere. Whole thing gone!

Really?

Yeah, yeah, they take it down every now and then...

to clean it!

I didn't know they could do that.

Oh yeah, all those worms and viruses and that.

It's really dirty.

Well, you hear stories.

Hey, Mel, erm, just to let you know.

Saturday, I'm still not sure if I can make it or not.

Er, thanks for the update.

One day we'll have lunch together.

One day.

I never knew you cared.

Not you, sir.

Er, not that there's anything wrong with you. I mean...

I didn't stop you for a lunch date,

I want to know how the council meeting went.

Oh, well, the kids were very enthusiastic, actually,

they had a lot of good ideas.

Don't worry, it won't last.

And we, er, we're going to cancel the town hall trip,

-we're going to go to this Prime FM Roadshow instead.

-What?

It makes sense, sir!

You know, cos the kids can learn all about teamwork,

communications,

DJ Speedrun's playing.

Thrilling.

You're not cancelling the visit I personally organised

in favour of some hip-hop trip?

The council had a vote, sir.

But they can't do whatever they want.

They were so up for it, and I was going to cancel this museum trip

with Miss Poppy on Saturday.

I mean, I don't want to let the kids down, you know,

but if the order was to come from you...

If you like.

I guess I'll just have to tell them you said the Roadshow trip is...

is off.

I'm here for my mp3, sir.

Come back tomorrow!

J, I didn't...

Don't even, yeah? It seems straightforward to me.

One chance you get with Miss Poppy and you don't even

try to stick up for us.

I didn't have a choice.

Whatever, what was the point if you won't even take it seriously?

J, J, wait! Hey hang on a minute!

Sorry!

-Are you all right?

-Yeah.

-Don't worry about this thing on Saturday.

Oh, Saturday...might be back on.

Oh right, harpsichords!

Great news!

# Why do I get thrown all the trouble at me?

# Big crime this time It's a double whammy

# Cos Byron walked all over me like I'm from Lilliput

# Ah, man, Josh must think I'm an idiot

# He's such an idiot Flapjack, melon brain

# And this is just another chance for him to demonstrate

# Like all he wanted was to build me up and knock me down

# With all the chat behind my back when I'm not around

# What a clown, man

# I can't believe I did that

# And for what? Little date, little chit chat?

# With a girl like Mel She can smell my guilt

# It's worse than when I brushed my dandruff in the powdered milk!

# That Byron used for his tea in his own cup

# He got sick But I never ever owned up

# Ten years on, same old story

# Grown man doing dumb stuff like he's 14

# I know one thing, he can forget the council, he can't force me

# Man he'll get a mouthful

# Cos If he thinks that I'll be making wrong moves anymore

# He's a bigger mongoose than I thought. #

BELL RINGS

I don't think he's coming, sir.

Drama Club?

Next door, Colin.

OK, let's get this started.

-Er, the trip to the roadshow...

-Yeah!

It's off.

What?

I'm as upset as you are, OK, but this has come from the head.

So we're going to go to the town hall on Tuesday as planned.

That's a shame, but I'm sure you did your best to persuade him.

Yeah, well, erm, one more thing to add to the agenda,

kids in detention, should they be allowed to take their ties off?

Sir, who cares, sir?

Well, Josh cares.

Sir, not enough, obviously.

Kids in detention are being punished, they don't deserve perks.

It's really hot in there. I mean, let's at least have a vote.

Yeah? All those in favour?

-You don't get a vote, sir.

-You're the chair.

ALL: Next door!

See, Ryan, you donkey, told you there'd

still be ICT while they're cleaning the internet.

Cleaning the internet?

Is there something wrong with him?

Yeah, maybe I should take him to the nurse.

He'll live. Find yourselves a station and log-on.

I'm not going to break the internet am I, miss?

Probably not.

Result!

MUSIC PLAYS

Sorry guys,

ties back on.

Council voted against the idea.

Typical, I bet they wear their stupid flipping ties in bed!

What happened, sir? Would it help to talk about it?

They just didn't get it, Agness.

Now even if Josh had been there, if he'd have explained...

What? He wasn't there?

What was he thinking if he'd put his non-existent hand up

-and he wasn't even there...

-Thank you, Zoe-Marie.

All right, loser!

And why weren't you there?

No point, no matter what the council votes,

the teachers always ignore them.

Don't they, sir?

I don't think we need to go into that here.

Yeah, so now we're not going to the roadshow

because Mr Carter overruled us.

-Hey, Byron overruled you.

-And you let him.

It's all right, sir, you're just like the rest of them, that's all.

We can get this no ties thing through,

we just need to get Josh back on the council.

I'm not going back, final.

Come on, guys, chokers back on,

we wouldn't want to break the rules, yeah?

Making one of your special hotdogs?

Not talking to me?

It's cool. I get that.

I should've stood up for you with Byron, I know...

I've just waited so long for a date with Miss Poppy, you know.

Still...

I've let everyone down. I'm sorry.

Apology accepted.

J,

I need you back on the council.

I need you to change their minds about the ties thing,

score one for the 4 O'Clock Club.

No, you got yourself in this mess, you clear it up.

Please, look I'll drive you to the roadshow myself.

I'll cancel my date. You know how much that meant to me.

What about the rest of the council?

Fine, they can come.

Touch.

Josh!

OK, I get the message.

But do you, Ryan? Do you?

Get that out of my face!

OK, you were right and I was wrong,

let's just leave it at that, shall we?

If only we could, Ryan, if only we could.

Cheer up, mate, clowns are supposed to be happy!

HUMS "Entrance of the Gladiators"

Mel, you know this museum,

-it's on, it's off, it's on, it's off, it's on thing.

-Yes.

-It's off.

-That's fine.

-Definitely this time.

-Seriously, Nathan, that's absolutely fine.

-Sorry.

-Couldn't be more fine.

To be honest, once you've seen one 18th century descant recorder

you've seen them all.

I really did want to spend the day with you, you know,

but, it's just,

you see, the thing of it is...

At least things can't get any worse.

Think again, Krusty!

You can't be a clown without...

a custard pie.

Woah, woah, woah, woah.

Come on, Ash, enough is enough.

Shut up and take it like a clown!

ALL: Pie, pie, pie, pie!

-Gotta give the audience what it wants.

-Put it away, Ash!

Detention! All of you!

Forever!

The look on his face!

It was worth it though.

Definitely worth it.

When he says forever, you don't actually think he means it, do you?

-Probably not.

-Good!

Oi! Coco! Chuckles, what do you think this is?

Some kind of circus?

Ladies, Gentlemen, this way.

What are that lot doing in here?

Aren't you afraid you're going to catch something,

like not being a wazzock!

Oi, stop it!

I said I was going to talk to the council about it

and so I brought 'em here direct.

What are we doing in this oven?

See? That's the problem.

That radiator has been blasting heat for the last weeks

and no sign of it getting fixed.

Yeah, it's supposed to be detention, not a sauna.

Now you see why they want to take their ties off.

Yeah, good idea.

Oh hold on, let's make it official,

all those in favour?

All right, motion carried.

CHEERING

So er, see you at the next meeting.

Actually, we're not sure you should be the chair anymore.

We need someone who'll stand up for us and, well...

We don't think that's you!

What? That's a bit harsh!

Although if that is how you really feel

I could save you some time and resign right now.

And if he's out, I'm out too, you know.

The Carter Brothers stick together.

Thanks for coming.

School council, what were you thinking? You doughnut!

This is so unfair,

why can't I sit in the front?

It's reserved!

I promised you a trip to the roadshow,

no-one said anything about it being comfy.

I can't believe the council chose to go

-in the twins' beemer instead of this dung heap!

-Shove up!

-Stop moaning.

-Who's leg is that?

It's yours, dopey!

-You got room for one more?

-Hey, Mel.

-Ow! My knee!

-Shut up!

I love DJ Speedrun,

even more than I love staring at a heap of old bagpipes.

Someone call an ambulance!
