Dexter's Big Week 4 O'Clock Club

# Where do you go when you know nobody can understand you?

# When it's just too much too handle

# What do you do when you end up

# Somewhere you never planned to?

# Wash that stress out like it was shampoo

# You should stay

# It can change

# There's good days

# And bad days

# But one day down the line

# This time this show could stop

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

# 4 o'clock. #

Why did you have to agree to this stupid teacher exchange thing?

Ma, I'll be back before you know it.

Listen, will you have a word with Josh? I think he's going to

miss you even more than me.

Hey, are you still thinking about getting a lodger?

Yeah. I've put a card in the newsagent's window.

Just make sure you check them out first.

You don't want some oddball living here.

Hey, I was going to swing by Elmsbury if you want a lift.

Bruv, I know you're angry, but...

Can't imagine why I'd be angry.

Oh, yeah, cos you're running away instead of taking me to the Raydog gig on Friday.

This is a big opportunity for me, man.

Yeah, for you to run off cos you got turned down by Miss Poppy.

It's not like that. Don't be mad at me.

Who's mad?

Without you breathing down my neck, life is going to be sweet.

-Here, sir.

-Thank you...

Agness, sir.

Thank you, Agness.

You girls all set for another fun day of school, then?

You what? I only just got here. You having a go at me already?

No! Not in the slightest.

I heard how you said it. "Another fun day of school, girls?"

What does that even mean?

It's just me saying good morning.

What's so good about it? What do you know that I don't?!

Sorry. Zoe-Marie's a little bit emotional - Mr Carter leaves today.

Shut-up, I ain't emotional.

What are you telling him I've got emotions for?

Well. Enjoy your day.

Wonder who they'll get to take over the 4 O'Clock Club.

Unless they put my mum in charge,

there's no way it'll be any worse than my big brother.

How are you feeling about... you know...

Nathan leaving?

-Barely even thought about it.

-But...

Barely even thought about it.

Ooh, hello!

I thought I might speak to Mr Bell later,

see if there's anything extra I can do.

Maybe just ease yourself in first.

Ease in. Gotcha.

Hey babes. How you doing?

Biscuit, Mr Thorne?

No thanks.

Everyone loves Jaffa Cakes. Especially the orangey bit.

Oooooh! Mmmmm.

Don't suppose you can have Jaffa Cakes with all the running and stuff.

Honestly, PE was never my thing.

Is that my mug?

It was just on the side.

It's got my name on the bottom.

You idiot!

Oh, sorry! Is it hot?!

No...

SHE GASPS

Stop, those are my league tables! Stop! Stop!

Sorry.

HE GROWLS

Will you please just relax?

Relax. Got it.

How should I relax?

Take it slow.

Look, I had a friend like you who wanted to take on too much when he first started.

What happened to him?

Thanks!

Ah! He became Teacher of the Year!

Yes, but that's not what I meant.

Nathan worked his knuckles off for that award.

You've no idea how hard it is running the 4 O'Clock Club.

Mr Carter - you will leave a hole behind you when you go to Scotland.

Aw, really...?

Yes. Thanks to you I have to find someone else to take detention.

Hey - I'll do it!

I'll tell mum I'm crashing by yours on Friday.

She won't know I'm going to see Raydog.

My mum says rap concerts are a celebration of sin and wickedness.

Yeah, thanks for that, Spongebore Squarepants.

Fact is, we'll be able to get up to mucho more jokes now

Big Brother ain't watching me.

Ow! Grow up.

Only when I'm ready.

Where d'you get that?

Dad brought it home from work.

What are you going to do with it?

Don't know. Something worthy of a rubber band this big.

Something really good.

Oh yeah - much more jokes already.

It's already started.

I'd write your name on it

so it doesn't get thieved like your giant magnet.

Good thinking.

-It'll serve him right when it gets confiscated.

-Yep.

This is going to be well epic.

Once you figure out what to do with it.

Rome wasn't built in a day, Ryan.

You of all people should know that.

-What does that mean?

-You know.

No, I don't know. What does it mean?

-Ash, tell me!!

-Nah.

Ash, tell me!!

I would need to be sure that you can run the sessions properly.

Detention is there to punish students who break school rules.

I put this together in morning break.

It's a proposal for how I'd do stuff.

Bottom line is you need to be tough.

Tough is my middle name.

-Dexter won't let you down.

-Who?

Oh.

OK, Harris.

You've got a week to prove to me you can handle this.

You won't regret it. Thank you.

And remember...you're still on probation.

So if anything does go wrong, Miss Poppy

and I will need a serious discussion about your future here at Elmsbury.

Failure is not an option.

-He's always threatening to leave.

-What an attention seeker.

I really thought Mr Carter and Miss Poppy would end up together.

I bet she did. It's like when Darren King was going to be my

boyfriend and Shelby Turner straightened her hair and then they're holding hands.

Only, instead of Shelby flipping Turner, it's Scotland.

I hate Scotland.

We should fix her up with someone else. That'll make her broken heart shut its mouth.

Oi! Thingy.

Where do you think you're going?

C'mon. I'll be back.

Bruv!

Are you not going to say bye?

Whatevs. Don't choke on any haggis, yeah.

Josh.

Hey, behave while I'm gone.

Stop milking it, and go.

Right. Now let's have some fun.

# Coz it's like I'm back in the game

# With Nathan out the picture

# It's just like back in the day

# When I ruled school

# And was Don of the thing

# Now I'm back on my throne so long live the King

# It's the J Man back in his rightful place

# So these teachers might as well fly to space

# No return just a one way ticket

# From now on there won't be no rest for the wicked

# See I'm the best

# Watch me bring my old perks

# Cheat on my tests

# Copying my homework

# Choose my start time

# Stroll in at half noon

# Call me the Captain

# Cos I coast in the classroom

# I'm feeling so numb I can't move

# Like there's a wire fence I tried to squeeze my heart through

# Cos I'm cut up and torn

# Yeah I'm moving forward

# But in my gut, am I sure?

# See everything is still quite raw

# And every afternoon

# When the clock strikes four

# How can I not picture every one of their faces

# Everything we've been through

# Such emotional places

# All the memories I'm holding with me

# Ash, Ryan, Molly, Agness, Zoe-Marie

# You know they had an impact like no other

# And Josh! Am I turning my back on my own brother?

# New freedom?

# It kinda feels like Jail

# The moment when I'm finally saying goodbye to Mel

# But I've got a new life that I've gotta live

# So the only thing to do is think positive

# Guess it's time for something new

# Yeah, it's time for something new

# Guess it's time for something new

# Dexter Harris no nickname required

# Elmsbury just found a hitman for hire

# School Hero?

# Tick that off my checklist

# Four o'clock Club?

# I could eat that for breakfast

# Came from a small town, went to a small school

# My dad was Head, though

# I played by school rules

# Today I make 'em!

# Starting that now

# Show off my skills

# Make my dad proud

# Position of assistant I'm choosing to start with

# But I'm gonna shine in the music department

# So I've really nothing to fear and it's great

# I could be Teacher of the Year at this rate!

# Andress and Bell?

# Well they just wanna see

# How good I am and how tough I can be.

# Ha!

# I hope the 4 O'Clock Club are good listeners

# Dexter Harris, he takes no prisoners

# Yep! It's time for something new

# Yeah, it's time for something new

# Yes, it's time for something new. #

Detention. Tonight. All of you.

What?!

If you don't like it you can have a detention tomorrow, too.

But we didn't do anything.

What's that you say? You want a detention for the next three nights?

OK, you got it.

Ha! You're in detention.

And you can have a detention for laughing at their bad luck.

And an extra one for kicking a bin.

Whoa, you can't hand out detentions like they're sweets, mate.

Oh, yes, I can.

And you can have another one for calling a teacher "mate."

It's not respectful.

Or true.

Detention! And you for laughing.

That's what? Four...five...for Josh?

And three for you?

OK, I'll have to tot them up and let you know tonight.

What do you mean, "tonight?"

There's a new sheriff in town. I'm in charge of the 4 O'Clock Club now.

Pew pew!

The man's a total hinge.

He actually thinks he's the boss of us. Unbelievable.

Right. I'm turning tonight's 4 O'Clock Club into a warzone.

A few well placed words in the right ears,

and then we'll see who's really in charge.

Agness! Have you seen Zoe-Marie?

Not since last lesson, why?

It's just I heard she kicked your little sister. Twice.

And so it begins.

So Agness said I live in a tent, did she?!

What do I look like - a tent lord?!

I'm going to turn her head into a tent, and punch its door in.

Don't shoot the messenger here,

but I heard Zoe-Marie telling people you wanted to be a prefect.

What?! I'll crush her tiny pea-brain!

Sorry we're late, sir. Ryan was having a really big wee.

Yeah, don't broadcast it.

Come on, you can do this.

You're their worst nightmare.

GENERAL COMMOTION

Right. I think that's quite enough. Come on, everyone.

Hey! Look, guys. I'm over here.

Am I invisible or something?

That's better.

OK!

I've got a question.

What's your worst nightmare?

Getting bitten by a camel.

Not anymore. Now it's me.

And I want you all to sit quietly,

and think about everything that led to you being here tonight.

Sit quietly AND think? Talk about multi-tasking.

Josh. Ssh.

You're late. Agness, isn't it?

-Zoe-Marie, why'd you kick my sister?!

-I never!

You're the one who told everyone I live in a tent.

-I don't want people to think I'm a dirty tent weirdo who lives in a tent.

-Here we go...

I never said that!

OK, whoa! Firstly, there's nothing wrong with living in a tent.

But I don't live in a tent! Why are you saying I live in a tent?

YOU live in a tent. You're a tent lord.

Sir, she kicked my sister.

I'll kick you in a minute.

Now, then. Violence is not the answer.

As Martin Luther King said...

OK, I'm afraid you're late as well.

Sir, Martin Luther King did not say that.

Zoe-Marie, why'd you tell people I wanted to be a prefect?!

-I did not!

-Yes, you did.

ALL: Fight, fight!

I really think that's enough.

All of you behave! You are in detention!

In the best detention ever.

Josh - they're about to have a fight because of you!

Scratching, slapping...

I'm getting a better place.

Do something.

OK! Right, well, that's it, people! Detention's over!

Over?!

Yes, go on, go home. And, well,

I suggest you have a good think about everything you've learned tonight.

Sir, are you sure?

Home!

# I wanted them for breakfast

# They went and had me for dinner

# Battling with me there'll only be one winner

# First big test and I came up short

# It's nothing but a game and I'm the king of this sport

# Back to the drawing board and start again

#Facts on the scoring board - ten out of ten

# Cos I'm a true pro

# And he failed the teacher test

# Now I have to go home with tail between my legs

# I guess it's time to think of something new

# The guy's a runner up, a classic Number Two

# Yep - I'll have to think of something new. #

Oh, man, Mum, I just had the best day ever.

Remember that new flophead of a teacher? We totally OWNED him!

Why is all my stuff in the living room?

Josh, meet our new lodger.

You?!

WHAT?! No, no. He has to go.

He's my teacher.

Maybe I should find somewhere else to stay.

No. You've already moved your stuff into Josh's room.

Josh, you'll be fine in the living room.

I didn't want to tell you because I knew you wouldn't like it.

You think?! My room...

It's just until Nathan comes home.

That's six months away!

Sweetheart. We need the money.

You better keep out of my way, or the gloves are coming off.

All right, mate. What are you doing?

Sorry if it feels like I'm an intruder.

I'm a long way from home. I just want a place to stay,

somewhere that's close to school and that I can afford.

OK, we got off to a bad start, but I bet we've got tons in common.

I saw you like rap music.

Have you been going through my stuff?

My room's covered in your posters.

It's my room.

Listen...

Aaaagh! Ouch!

How am I supposed to play my games?!

I'm sure it's fixable.

I'll just go back to my room.

Your room. The, erm, bedroom.

Sorry.

# So, feel like I'm here on my own

# Here in a place I call home

# Feeling lower than the floor that's beneath me

#But if this is a challenge am I gonna let it beat me?

# So, feel like I'm here on my own

# Here in a place I call home

# Feeling lower than the floor that's beneath me

# But if this is a challenge am I gonna let it beat me?

# Now I've hit a new low

# Camping in the living room?

# He has to go!

# First school, now my personal space he's invading

# Never thought I'd say this but I kinda miss Nathan

# Yeah we had our ups and downs just like a yoyo

# But he never would've left me

# Sleeping like a hobo

# In my own home, man, what a no-no

# Dexter Harris?

# It's time for you to go bro!

# And I got nothing to lose

# Like a wart on my toe

# I'm gonna have you removed

# Starting with your job, I wanna push you to the limit

# Dig a great big black hole and drop you in it

# Maybe a little character assassination

# Something real embarrassing that I can rub your face in

# And when the sparks fly

# I'll sit back and watch them

# Gotta get it right - failure is not an option

# So, feel like I'm here on my own

# Here in a place I call home

# Feeling lower than the floor that's beneath me

# But if this is a challenge am I gonna let it beat me?

# So, feel like I'm here on my own

# Here in a place I call home

# Feeling lower than the floor that's beneath me

# But if this is a challenge am I gonna let it beat me?

# Well that sums up my day when you look at it

# Whatever I do, I seem to put my foot in it

# I need to give it some clout and get tough

# But am I maybe just not cut out for this stuff?

# Perhaps I'll never be as good as my dad is

# I'm just average

# Am I gonna be a lamb to the slaughter?

# So far from home I'm a fish out of water

# All I need is a sign

# It's divine!

# No! All these doubts?

# I need to stop them

# Gotta get it right - failure is not an option. #

Pay dirt.

GIGGLING

Are you sure it's him?

-What?

-You know what.

You looked very athletic in those pants, sir.

Those were trunks!

Well they looked like pants.

I can't believe you went on my laptop.

This was nothing to do with me, sir.

I understand there has been an incident.

Yes, but I know exactly who's to blame.-

So do I! Your social networking profile was set to public!

I've seen it. Any of the students could've accessed it.

Ah. Right.

Teachers need to ensure that their own personal fluff remains

out of the public domain.

Yes. Of course. Sorry, Dad.

I mean, sir. Mr Bell.

Not Dad.

See you in detention, sir.

BELL RINGS

I want that melonbrain out of my home and my school.

There's only one thing that can guarantee success.

How exactly?

I dunno.

You've still not figured out what to do with it?

You cannot hurry genius.

We know you were manipulating us.

Yeah, we're mates again.

-Like Take That making up with Robbie Williams, only three non-famous girls.

-Who aren't mates.

We're going to find Miss Poppy a boyfriend.

What about Mr Harris?

I think she likes him if you ask me, I've seen the signs,

trust me.

-Like I'd ever trust YOU again.

-Shh!

I told you not to take on too much.

You've embarrassed yourself, the head and me with the exhibition,

and dismissed an entire detention after, what, three minutes?

More like four. Maybe my dad was right.

Maybe I'm just not cut out for this.

UNTUNEFUL CLANG

Look, maybe you just need to take a different approach.

Erm...I loaned this book to Nathan last term.

It's full of teacher training ideas.

"To have true psychological contact with a child,

"you must maintain eye contact. Make them your focus".

Try it with me.

They're gazing into each other's eyes. She might like him.

Who cares if she doesn't? We should set them up.

-We need to get them to dance or something.

-That is a great idea.

There's no school disco for a while, so might as well put on your own

-and just invite those two. They're meant for each other.

-He's right.

Mr Harris runs the 4 O'Clock Club, duh, and she liked Mr Carter,

-who also ran the club. So, like, duh.

-Can't fault logic like that.

Yeah, well, you guys turn tonight's The 4 O'Clock Club

-into the 4 O'Clock Nightclub L'Amour.

-La what?

French for Chika-Chika-Boom-Boom.

Sir, I know he got off to a bad start, but Mr Harris is a trier.

-Come tonight and you'll see a different detention.

-Really, now?

Yeah, I owe it to my brother to make sure it's in safe hands.

Maybe I will pay him a visit. Thank you, Carthorse.

It's Carter, sir. Carthorse is slightly different.

Josh! Hey...I got you this.

Sorry I broke your old one. See you in detention, big man.

-Josh. I've been looking for you.

-I'm a popular guy, it seems.

We both know you have a bit of influence.

I wondered if you might use it to encourage people

-to give Mr Harris a chance.

-Well, why would I do that?

Because he's one of the good guys.

Good guy. Right.

Everyone has the right to make mistakes when they start out.

Mr Harris is a long way from his family.

You must know how that is like. Just give him a chance.

Yes?

# We thought you were a star

# But now you've gone too far

# You're toying with emotions

# Stop toying with emotions

# We thought you were a star

# But now you've gone too far

# You're toying with emotions

# Stop toying with emotions. #

# RAPPING: Now I feel like the bad guy

# Hope I didn't go and make a grown man cry.

# Have I gone too far?

# Have I really gone and brought the wrong dude harm?

# Ah man, maybe I have! Maybe Dexter Harris really isn't that bad!

# And it's true he's a long way from home

# Without friends or family here to call his own

# And when the closest person to you is far away

# Other guys important to you come into play

# I'm lucky I got my close mates We're three strong

# But then again, my best was my brother and he's gone

# Will it feel better soon? Not definitely

# Maybe there's no difference between Dexter and me

# Both trying to do right Both missing family

# Still I'm making it impossible for him to handle me

# Now I've landed the dude in hot water

With Ding Dong He's a lamb to the slaughter

# Or a slug covered with salt

# His days are numbered and it's all my fault

# We thought you were a star

# But now you've gone too far

# You're toying with emotions

# Stop toying with emotions. #

This time it's going to be a happy ending. Take that, Shelby Turner.

-Surprise!

-What is that?!

Zoe-Marie, where's Miss Poppy? You did send her the invite?

I did, Ugness. I put hearts on it and I made it smell like a man.

-You can't turn the detention room into a nightclub.

-Why not?

If Mr Bell sees this...

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

-No! Turn that off!

-Stop! Stop! Stop!

You're going to make him Angry Man.

Seriously, this guy went psycho at me earlier.

He, like...pinned me up against a wall and told me

She was going to turn me into a casserole. Ain't that right, sir?

Yeah.

This guy is just a volcano waiting to blow.

A volca-not.

Look into my eyes. Do you want to try me?

"You want to try me" at what, you total try-hard?

I've had other jobs. Just couldn't keep them down.

Sooner or later, some kid would push me too far and I'd...snap!

Just...

Just...like...that!

I'm a one-man discipline machine.

Cross me and I'll tie you in a knot, like a pretzel.

If you look at me funny, I'll come down on your heads

like an almighty wind. Just...phoo-oo-oo-oo.

You will behave!

Yeah, now you're getting it. That's what I expect. I'm Mr Harris.

Your worst nightmare.

-Mr Harris!

-Yes, sir.

It's a fine line between tough and threatening. What is this?!

It was my idea. I wanted to show the...unity of the music department,

because it's, like...

-It represents their shared love for music, sir.

-Yes!

We're a team... United.

I'm going to be keep a close eye on developments here.

Sir, does that mean I'm still in charge of detention?

If that's what you want.

Of course!

For now.

Who dares to twang something at me?

Now you're for it, you spannerneck.

Which one of you is Ryan?!

I'm stupid, but I'm not that stupid.

Completely out of order to meddle in a teacher's private life!

And for your information, Mr Harris isn't, and never will be, my type.

Do I make myself absolutely, 100%, clear?!

Mr Harris, and I, are never, ever, ever

going to go out with one another!

Sorry, sir.

Do you want a lift home tonight?

Your car can't be worse than my brother's dung heap.

It's worse than Nathan's four-wheeled dung heap.

Thanks for what you did in detention.

No, man, I guess everybody gets a fair chance to prove themselves

and, at first, I didn't like that you were replacing my brother, so...

-I could never do that.

-I know.

It always helps having a teacher that owes you a favour.

Name it.

Looks like you're taking me to Raydog tomorrow.

You're on.

MOBILE RINGS

Bruv! Where are you, man?

Yeah, I'm outside a phone box.

It's the only place I could get a signal.

Just calling to check in, really. How's 4 O'Clock Club been this week?

What makes you think I've been in detention?

Bruv, please?! Do I really have to answer that?

Seriously, how's the new guy doing?

Yeah, I guess he's not too much of a waste.

'All right, cool.'

Cool. Um...well, yeah, just calling to say hi, really.

Yeah, bruv. Laters.

Ah, here we go! ENGINE STARTS

MECHANICAL GRINDING

Ha-ha!

# Can't live with them And you can't kick 'em out

# When they're up they rub it in your face

# Kick you when you're down But when no-one understands them

# You know what they're on about But it's good to be around

# Gotta find the common ground If you know so much about me

# Where do I go from here? You see them every day

# You can never get away Only time that you're the boss

# 4 O'Clock. #
