0:00:06 > 0:00:10# Where do you go when you know nobody can understand you?

0:00:10 > 0:00:12# When it's just too much to handle?

0:00:12 > 0:00:15# What do you do when you end up somewhere you never planned to?

0:00:15 > 0:00:17# Washed out, stressed out like it was shampoo

0:00:17 > 0:00:20# You should stay It can change

0:00:20 > 0:00:23# There's good days and bad days

0:00:23 > 0:00:26# But one day down the line this time is sure to stop

0:00:26 > 0:00:28# So the only time is now 4 o'clock

0:00:28 > 0:00:30# 4 o'clock. #

0:00:30 > 0:00:33- Woodwork?- Now we're operating on a reduced budget,

0:00:33 > 0:00:35we've got to concentrate on the skills

0:00:35 > 0:00:38students actually have a chance of using in the workplace.

0:00:38 > 0:00:42Workplace. Most of them will be lucky to get a job at Chicken Shack.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46I don't see many of our pupils becoming the next Mozart, do you?

0:00:46 > 0:00:47I don't know anything about woodwork.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Well, you better find out.

0:00:49 > 0:00:50Your first lesson is at 12.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58Priceless. What's next? Me teaching textiles?

0:01:00 > 0:01:02No, you'll be too busy covering for Meryl...

0:01:04 > 0:01:06..our patrol warden.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Oh, no, no, no. I didn't get a degree in PE to...

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Yes, a degree!

0:01:10 > 0:01:13..to slum it as a lollipop lady in some Day-Glo bin bag.

0:01:14 > 0:01:15Well, in that case,

0:01:15 > 0:01:18we'll have to pay for cover out of the rugby budget.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21How much do you think we'll get for those goalposts on eBay?

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Marvellous. First shift in two minutes.

0:01:31 > 0:01:35- Woodwork?!- Yeah, apparently it's something to do with cost cutting.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37Honestly, I don't know how much longer I can last in this place.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39Maybe you don't have to.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43I got it! I got the job!

0:01:43 > 0:01:44We're moving to the USA!

0:01:44 > 0:01:47- That's amazing!- I know!

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Sunny California, here we come.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56We best go and sort out our visas.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59I can't wait to leave this hellhole.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01But what are we going to tell Nero?

0:02:03 > 0:02:07Oh, my days, chief prefect Garland is on patrol.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10Just cos you've got a badge don't make you sheriff.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Nevertheless, I'm going to have to give you a behaviour comment

0:02:13 > 0:02:15- for those trainers. - But he's your mate!

0:02:15 > 0:02:18And those non-regulation socks.

0:02:18 > 0:02:19No, come on! They're navy!

0:02:19 > 0:02:24Bad luck, cowboy. According to my colour chart, they're midnight blue.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Oh, and that skirt is quite clearly more than two inches above the knee.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30What are you looking at her skirt for?

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Well, if you don't believe me, I can just pretty easily measure it.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35How's about I measure your face with my foot?

0:02:36 > 0:02:38That's another behaviour comment.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40- But that's not fair!- Oh, yes, it is,

0:02:40 > 0:02:43as you would know if you'd have read our new behaviour manual.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45I'm telling Bell about this.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Be my guest. I'm just carrying out his instructions.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54Oi, sir, you finally get sacked from the PE department?

0:02:54 > 0:02:57It's temporary while one of the old dears is on sick leave.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Shame, you look banging in that hat.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Oi, Baker, shut it.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05- Rats!- What? - I left my science essay at home.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09Better go back and get it, or Lizzie'll kill me.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13You want to cross my road again? Oh, too bad. You're banned.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Not so funny now, is it, Baker?

0:03:19 > 0:03:20What's up?

0:03:22 > 0:03:24You staring at Sarah Peterson again?

0:03:24 > 0:03:26No, I'm just...

0:03:26 > 0:03:29- thinking.- Well, that's a lie.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Why don't you just ask her out, you prune?

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Yeah, you know what they say - fortune favours the bold.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38Do they say that, or did some dweeby prefect with no girlfriend say that?

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Well, exactly. I messed up my chance with Katie,

0:03:41 > 0:03:44but I don't want to see a mate make the same mistake.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Come on, champ, what could possibly go wrong?

0:03:51 > 0:03:53You're right. I should just ask her.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04- Sarah...- Yeah?

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Oh, look, you've dropped your keys.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Actually, I'm going to need those.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Nailed it(!)

0:04:34 > 0:04:38- But that's not fair!- Sorry, it's all in the new handbook.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40You miss the deadline, you get an automatic behaviour comment.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43But it's not my fault. I tried to go back and get my homework,

0:04:43 > 0:04:45but Mr Nunn wouldn't let me cross the road

0:04:45 > 0:04:47because he's the new lollipop lady.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Amber, you really have to stop making up these ridiculous excuses.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56But my mum will ground me if I get another behaviour comment.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00- Please!- Well, if you can't do the time,

0:05:00 > 0:05:04- don't do the crime. - But I didn't do the crime.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07I was only late cos of your idiot prefect.

0:05:07 > 0:05:08Excuse me!

0:05:08 > 0:05:12My prefects are a vital part of enforcing the contents

0:05:12 > 0:05:14of my new behavioural handbook.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17I trust you've familiarised yourself with its contents?

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Yeah, of course.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25But if I get a behaviour comment,

0:05:25 > 0:05:29I'll probably just go on a downward spiral.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Detention, exclusion...

0:05:32 > 0:05:35It's not going to make the school look good, is it?

0:05:35 > 0:05:39Well, I am looking to expand my team of prefects.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Join up.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44And if all goes well,

0:05:44 > 0:05:46I'll wipe the behaviour comment from your record.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54# I've been trying to do well

0:05:54 > 0:05:56# Stay on the right track

0:05:56 > 0:05:59# Started out as the new girl

0:05:59 > 0:06:01# Hoping they had my back

0:06:01 > 0:06:02# Not easy with

0:06:02 > 0:06:07# A strange-haired teacher who lives in a caravan

0:06:07 > 0:06:10# And friends who like to cause problems

0:06:10 > 0:06:11# Very disobedient

0:06:11 > 0:06:15# No choice, no choice, no choice

0:06:15 > 0:06:19# Seems I've got no choice

0:06:19 > 0:06:22# As they're causing trouble

0:06:22 > 0:06:24# Should I be so loyal?

0:06:24 > 0:06:27# Or do I punish them for doing the wrong things?

0:06:27 > 0:06:31# Get myself in the good books again

0:06:31 > 0:06:35# I've got one tough choice, tough choice, hard choice,

0:06:35 > 0:06:41# Gotta make one, gotta make a choice

0:06:41 > 0:06:44# I've been trying to make it as a super head for years

0:06:44 > 0:06:46# But really, I haven't got a lot to work with

0:06:46 > 0:06:49# Diminishing budget, lacking the basics

0:06:49 > 0:06:51# In order to turn this around, let's face it

0:06:51 > 0:06:54# I'll need to get the students on my side

0:06:54 > 0:06:56# The well-behaved ones who don't laugh, chew or lie

0:06:56 > 0:07:00# If that means having to work with the Owens and Pollys of the school

0:07:00 > 0:07:02# I guess I'm forced to make that choice

0:07:02 > 0:07:04# Parents' evening with no smiles

0:07:04 > 0:07:07# A downward spiral, detention, exclusion,

0:07:07 > 0:07:10# Ban from the whole school would be bad news

0:07:10 > 0:07:12# Come back years later as the caretaker

0:07:12 > 0:07:14# I don't want to cause trouble

0:07:14 > 0:07:17# For other girls and boys

0:07:17 > 0:07:22# Get them into trouble, gonna raise my voice

0:07:22 > 0:07:25# But if it means messing up my future

0:07:25 > 0:07:27# Then maybe I have no choice

0:07:27 > 0:07:31# One choice, one choice

0:07:31 > 0:07:33# Have to make that choice. #

0:07:33 > 0:07:34SHE SIGHS

0:07:37 > 0:07:38I'll do it.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Good choice.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Where's all the instruments? - There's no more music. It's gone.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Kaput.- But I was going to use this lesson to mix my new track.

0:07:54 > 0:07:55What do you want me to do about it?

0:07:55 > 0:07:59This ain't fair! Music's the only reason I come into this dump.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Yeah, well, that's life, innit?

0:08:01 > 0:08:05You start off with hopes and dreams, and the next thing you know,

0:08:05 > 0:08:08you're standing in an empty room with a bin bag full of tambourines.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Say cheese!

0:08:17 > 0:08:18You're going to regret crossing me.

0:08:18 > 0:08:22- What are you doing?- Posting photos of you in your lollipop gear

0:08:22 > 0:08:25so your football mates can see what you get up to in your spare time.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28You can't! I'll never hear the end of it down at Carpenter's.

0:08:28 > 0:08:29You should've thought of that

0:08:29 > 0:08:32when you didn't let me go back and get my homework, innit?

0:08:32 > 0:08:33This is not going to end well.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40- What's going on? - Hey, guys, come on in.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44Take a hammer, grab a seat and bang some wood.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47Dexter, why are you in here like some budget handyman?

0:08:47 > 0:08:48You tell me. This is a nightmare.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52Come on! Music was the only decent thing about this wreck of a school.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54What do you want me to do about it?

0:08:58 > 0:08:59# What's the plan? What's the prognosis?

0:08:59 > 0:09:01# Now I've been stripped of my main focus

0:09:01 > 0:09:03# Only thing good about this school is

0:09:03 > 0:09:04# I can record hits with flawless lyrics, the dopest beats

0:09:04 > 0:09:07# Find a way to say stuff that are very deep inside

0:09:07 > 0:09:08# About my life, my access been denied

0:09:08 > 0:09:10# I'm standing here hopelessly like

0:09:10 > 0:09:12# How am I gonna shoot for the stars?

0:09:12 > 0:09:15# Then travel from here, visit Jupiter or Mars?

0:09:15 > 0:09:18# What's up, what's up, what's up, where my stars at?

0:09:18 > 0:09:21# I can see them floating in the night

0:09:21 > 0:09:24# I just want to reach up there and grab one

0:09:24 > 0:09:27# The law of gravity, I defy

0:09:27 > 0:09:30# Built myself a rocket and it's turbo

0:09:30 > 0:09:33# Fired up the engines, good to go

0:09:33 > 0:09:35# Got to flip the switch and get this bird going

0:09:35 > 0:09:38# Then the system crash, I'm like "No!"

0:09:38 > 0:09:41# I know deep down that I'm a star, with bars that will melt hearts

0:09:41 > 0:09:44# Got a lot to say, I can't keep it in my brain box

0:09:44 > 0:09:47# Or it becomes a rubbish bin of useless information

0:09:47 > 0:09:50# I'm stuck on the launchpad, the other stars are waiting

0:09:50 > 0:09:53# For me to reconnect, so how I'm gonna act now?

0:09:53 > 0:09:56# Once you've seen the stars, you're gonna struggle to go back now

0:09:56 > 0:09:59# Rooted to the ground, I'd rather fly in any weather

0:09:59 > 0:10:01# I can't pretend to myself there isn't something better

0:10:01 > 0:10:04# What's up, what's up, what's up, where my stars at?

0:10:04 > 0:10:07# I can see them floating in the night

0:10:07 > 0:10:10# I just want to reach up there and grab one

0:10:10 > 0:10:13# The law of gravity, I defy

0:10:13 > 0:10:16# Have to get my thoughts and feelings out in bars

0:10:16 > 0:10:20# Have to get out and shoot for the stars

0:10:20 > 0:10:22# No matter what, I can't be stuck

0:10:22 > 0:10:26# One shot, I'ma shoot for the stars. #

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Actually, there's something a bit more important

0:10:28 > 0:10:29I want to talk to you about.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31You're the same as all the other jokers in this toilet.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33Well, I ain't standing for it.

0:10:33 > 0:10:34Nero!

0:10:37 > 0:10:40THAT was the worst lesson I've ever sat through.

0:10:40 > 0:10:41At Elmsmere, that's saying something.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45I loved it. Look what I made.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49It's a toy for my little cousin. Say hello, Mr Nailfingers!

0:10:49 > 0:10:51All right, pal?

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Eli, never show me that again, OK?

0:10:54 > 0:10:55Aww!

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Mr Nailfingers is sad now.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59- Aww!- Hey, what...?

0:11:01 > 0:11:04So, what are we going to do now?

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Well, I've got prefect duty, so...

0:11:06 > 0:11:11Sorry, don't hate me, but I told Bell I'd try out for prefect, too.

0:11:11 > 0:11:12Really?

0:11:14 > 0:11:15Tragic.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Sarah probably hates me, doesn't she?

0:11:22 > 0:11:24I've blown my chance forever.

0:11:24 > 0:11:25Yeah, probably.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Or you could just try again.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34You're right. If I don't ask, I'll never know.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Wish me luck.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Sarah, I...

0:11:47 > 0:11:50..just wondered if you wanted to...

0:11:51 > 0:11:54..get out of my way because I'm desperate for a widdle!

0:11:56 > 0:11:59Come on, let's get bangers and mash.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04Kids, eh? I know lollipop ladies are the lowest of the low,

0:12:04 > 0:12:06but show us some respect.

0:12:06 > 0:12:07Am I right?

0:12:09 > 0:12:12I don't know how you lot put up with it all year round.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16This is the worst day of my working life.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18And I once had a summer job hosing the sick

0:12:18 > 0:12:21out the footwell of a roller-coaster. I know.

0:12:21 > 0:12:26By the way, if any of you girls want any help, just give us a shout.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29Apart from the kids and the outfit, I reckon I'm a bit of a natural.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31Oh, don't mind if I do.

0:12:43 > 0:12:44- Nero?- Polly?

0:12:44 > 0:12:45Prefect?

0:12:46 > 0:12:49Guess I'd better be on my best behaviour, then.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Mr Bell said he'd let me off my behaviour comment if I did this.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Am I totally lame? - No, it's a pretty sweet blag.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59- Anyway, laters.- Erm...

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Where are you going?

0:13:01 > 0:13:05Oh, I've got to slip out, go to the dentist's. Wonky tooth.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Have you got a letter?

0:13:07 > 0:13:09I forgot.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11I can't let you go, I'll get in so much trouble.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15But I think it may be infected, Polly! Please? For a mate?

0:13:15 > 0:13:17OK.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19Thanks, Pols. I owe you one.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22It's cool. What are mates for?

0:13:39 > 0:13:41Hey, I'm Nero Johnson.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43I just want to ask about an audition.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Well, you know the saying -

0:13:53 > 0:13:54if at first you don't succeed...

0:13:54 > 0:13:57Give in before you get arrested for stalking.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00They're right. Sarah Peterson is too good for me.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02I need to go out with someone who's more in my league.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04Like who?

0:14:05 > 0:14:07- You.- Excuse me!

0:14:07 > 0:14:09You are not in my league.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12That's like my dad's football team asking Arsenal for a kickabout.

0:14:14 > 0:14:15All right, fine.

0:14:15 > 0:14:20I'll die old and alone watching Antiques Roadshow in my pants

0:14:20 > 0:14:21like my uncle Darryl.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24At last, an ambition you can actually achieve.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Or you could just ask her out properly this time

0:14:27 > 0:14:29and see what happens.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34You're right. I'm going to go for it.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36It's now or never!

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Like a lamb to the slaughter.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44What a prune!

0:14:49 > 0:14:51Come on, Eli, you can do this.

0:15:01 > 0:15:02Look, I...

0:15:04 > 0:15:08..just wanted to say that I really like you,

0:15:08 > 0:15:11and maybe we could go out on a date.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14A date?

0:15:14 > 0:15:15Katie?

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Why not? I've run out of pocket money and I need someone to buy

0:15:19 > 0:15:21me an ice cream. Laters, pookie.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29Let me get this straight. You're complaining because the

0:15:29 > 0:15:31other lollipop ladies are being mean to you?

0:15:31 > 0:15:34Yeah, they're treating me like they're the PE teachers and I'm the

0:15:34 > 0:15:36lollipop lady. It's a disgrace.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38They're discriminating against me because I'm a man.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Graham, please.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44Lollipop lady - oh, fine, welcome to the club, have a cup of tea.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48But lollipop man - oh, no, no, no, controversial.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51A man carrying a lollipop is the last taboo.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54I'm a pioneer. I'm like one of them birds who jogged under a dobbin.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58- A suffragette?- Bingo.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00So, you need to give those Day-Glo dearies a good talking to.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Tell them they have to like me, it's the law.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05And you're sure that there is no other reason why they haven't warmed

0:16:05 > 0:16:07to your vibrant personality?

0:16:08 > 0:16:11Don't know. Maybe it's because I'm so much better at their job

0:16:11 > 0:16:12than them.

0:16:12 > 0:16:13Oh, really?

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Oh, yeah, when I'm out there, I'm like a matador with a bull.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19Only have to look at a car and it stops.

0:16:19 > 0:16:20That's most interesting, Graham.

0:16:22 > 0:16:23I'll see what I can do.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Good, cos I will not rest until a man can wield

0:16:26 > 0:16:28his lollipop unmolested.

0:16:28 > 0:16:29Lollipop men for justice.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36So, how did you get on with Sarah, then?

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Yeah, fine. Why, what have you heard?

0:16:42 > 0:16:44Nero, what's up, big man?

0:16:44 > 0:16:45Got some good news.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48I've got an audition at Hillview Music Academy.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50- Really?- Yeah, next Saturday.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Soon as they see my awesome moves, I'm out of here.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54Oh, Nero, that is so cool.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Congratulations, clever clogs.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59Wait, you told me you were going to the dentist's.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02Yeah, well, I didn't really want to say anything just in case they

0:17:02 > 0:17:04- blew me out, you know? - So, you lied to my face.

0:17:04 > 0:17:08- Not on purpose. - That's all right, then.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Oh, come on, what, you're not happy for me?

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Yeah, I'm really happy you're going to swan off and leave the rest of us

0:17:13 > 0:17:16rotting in this dump. Some mate you are.

0:17:16 > 0:17:17Polly...

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Come back here at once or you'll get a behaviour comment.

0:17:22 > 0:17:23Who cares?

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Oh...

0:17:27 > 0:17:30Nero, Dexter wants to talk to you in the old music room.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32- I know, but Miss, I have...- Now.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40Sit down. I've got some news.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42Good news. Hopefully.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Well, fingers crossed.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49You know you're always saying how much you can't wait to get out of

0:17:49 > 0:17:51- Elmsmere?- That's what I wanted to talk to you about.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53- I'm leaving.- What?

0:17:53 > 0:17:56I got an audition for Hillview Music Academy.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58I'm finally going places, man.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00- Haven't you got to be 18 to get in? - Yeah, but you know, once they

0:18:00 > 0:18:05se my awesome moves, I'll be in, for sure. Record deal, tour.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08By the time I'm 18, I'll be banking millions.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11That's all very exciting, but you might have to put all that

0:18:11 > 0:18:13on hold, because, um...

0:18:16 > 0:18:17..we're all going to America.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22- What?- Lizzie got a job out there in research.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24We'll leave all this behind and make a fresh start.

0:18:26 > 0:18:27- Happy?- No.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30- But...- You think you can pack me off to live in another country like

0:18:30 > 0:18:31mum and dad tried to?

0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Nero...- It ain't happening, man.

0:18:36 > 0:18:37We might have a swimming pool.

0:18:38 > 0:18:39America? No way.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46# I thought I was doing Nero a favour

0:18:46 > 0:18:49# By taking us to the States to start something major

0:18:49 > 0:18:51# Pack our suitcases for a brand-new place

0:18:51 > 0:18:55# Pronto out of a pokey flat into a condo

0:18:55 > 0:18:57# Not so fast maybe I should have asked

0:18:57 > 0:19:00# Maybe I should have grasped it isn't for everyone

0:19:00 > 0:19:02# But I see bright lights on big screens

0:19:02 > 0:19:06# Big plans for the whole fam living the dream

0:19:06 > 0:19:07# But dreams turn to nightmares

0:19:07 > 0:19:10# I had a dream of getting signed, doing tours

0:19:10 > 0:19:11# And wearing some nice threads

0:19:11 > 0:19:14# Tough luck, dreams went bye-bye, why why,

0:19:14 > 0:19:17# When do I decide what flies in my life, oh yeah

0:19:17 > 0:19:20# Tough luck, no chance it's not a dream come true

0:19:20 > 0:19:22# It's what nightmares are made of

0:19:22 > 0:19:25# Just when I thought I had something real

0:19:25 > 0:19:27# A strong crew, Nero didn't keep it real

0:19:27 > 0:19:31# A nightmare, I risk my reputation for what

0:19:31 > 0:19:34# For him to leave us right here

0:19:34 > 0:19:38# While he attends some fancy school I thought we'd be friends for life

0:19:38 > 0:19:39# But after all

0:19:39 > 0:19:42# All my hopes and dreams crashing down

0:19:42 > 0:19:45# Only person I can rely on is myself

0:19:45 > 0:19:48# Tough luck, dreams went bye-bye, why why

0:19:48 > 0:19:51# When do I decide what flies in my life,

0:19:51 > 0:19:54# Tough luck, no chance it's not a dream come true

0:19:54 > 0:19:56# It's what nightmares are made of

0:19:56 > 0:19:59# All the sacrifices I've made for this kid, Nero,

0:19:59 > 0:20:01# But does he appreciate it

0:20:01 > 0:20:04# Thought I was more than a teacher, real family

0:20:04 > 0:20:06# A teacher to them, but fam to him

0:20:06 > 0:20:10# But his actions prove otherwise, he treats me like the enemy

0:20:10 > 0:20:15# All I've ever done is try to make him happy, but he's mad pretty often

0:20:15 > 0:20:18# And now my big plan's become a big problem. #

0:20:20 > 0:20:21Come on, spit it out, Romeo.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24- Are you getting married?- Or did she flame-grill you like a hot beef bap?

0:20:27 > 0:20:29See you by the ice cream van, pookie.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Remember, mine's a 99, two flakes.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38It was an accident. She has long hair.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41- I thought it was Sarah. - You're so in the doo-doo.

0:20:41 > 0:20:45How am I going to dump her without her going ballistic

0:20:45 > 0:20:46and telling Owen?

0:20:46 > 0:20:48You could make her dump you.

0:20:48 > 0:20:49That won't work.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53What woman in their right mind wouldn't want a piece of this?

0:20:54 > 0:20:58Tell me, what do boys do to chase off girls?

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Bloomin' heck, how long you got?

0:21:08 > 0:21:09Thanks for ruining my life.

0:21:11 > 0:21:12How have I ruined it?

0:21:12 > 0:21:16I've just got an audition for Hillview Music Academy,

0:21:16 > 0:21:18now you're sending me off to America cos of your cruddy job.

0:21:18 > 0:21:22Excuse me, Taxemia Chemicals is the USA's leading manufacturer

0:21:22 > 0:21:24of toilet cleaner.

0:21:24 > 0:21:25Ooh, exciting.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28Maybe I can get a job too as a bog cleaner.

0:21:29 > 0:21:30I don't know why you're so annoyed.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33You'll have a new school, new house, nice weather.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36What about my music, my dancing?

0:21:36 > 0:21:37You can still make music.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39On my own? In my room?

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Here I've got a chance to be somebody.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43Well, not everything's about you, is it?

0:21:43 > 0:21:46- What about Dexter?- Dexter?

0:21:46 > 0:21:47He'd be happy anywhere

0:21:47 > 0:21:50as long as he's got some clean socks and a tambourine to shake.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53You selfish little twerp.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Sorry, but... Really?

0:21:56 > 0:21:59You think Dexter doesn't have the same hopes and dreams that you do?

0:21:59 > 0:22:01- Wait a minute... - No, you wait a minute.

0:22:02 > 0:22:03Read this.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10Congratulations on being accepted as head of research

0:22:10 > 0:22:11at Taxemia Chemicals.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Toilets are a vital part of life... - No, the other one.

0:22:15 > 0:22:16Mercury Studios...

0:22:19 > 0:22:22At university, Dexter used to compose film music with a friend.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Now that friend's in LA, and he's invited Dexter out there

0:22:24 > 0:22:26to work as his partner.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Making music in Hollywood?

0:22:28 > 0:22:32Yeah. So, like I said, it's not all about you, is it?

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Hang on, this was written two years ago.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36That was the first time he was offered the job.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Why didn't he take it then?

0:22:38 > 0:22:39Why do you think?

0:22:47 > 0:22:50So, I've had a word with the other crossing wardens.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53Good, cos I'm not taking any more of their sexist bullying.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56And they won't be bothering you any more.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Nice one.- Because I've sacked them.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Hold on, do what? - The more I thought about it,

0:23:01 > 0:23:05the more I was impressed by your passion and your commitment.

0:23:05 > 0:23:06And rightly so.

0:23:06 > 0:23:11So, to cut costs, I decided that you could take on all their shifts.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13But it's curry club tonight.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Not any more.

0:23:15 > 0:23:16Hurry up,

0:23:16 > 0:23:19- you'll miss the rush hour. - But, but...

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Pre-order the set meal!

0:23:23 > 0:23:25You could stand her up.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Introduce her to your mum on your first date.

0:23:27 > 0:23:31I've got it. Just pretend you're a really bad snogger.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35Yeah, like, all wet and clammy, like a snail with gum disease.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39Wouldn't work. It's a well-known fact that I am one of the best

0:23:39 > 0:23:41- snoggers at Elmsmere.- Are you?

0:23:41 > 0:23:44Yeah, my skills are famed far and wide.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46I'm like the Usain Bolt of snogging.

0:23:46 > 0:23:47Well, I've never heard of it.

0:23:47 > 0:23:51Of course not, you're not one of the lucky few that's sampled these prize

0:23:51 > 0:23:53- smackers.- Yeah, right(!)

0:23:53 > 0:23:55- It's true.- Prove it.

0:23:57 > 0:23:58Oh!

0:24:00 > 0:24:02Um, Eli...

0:24:02 > 0:24:03Oh!

0:24:03 > 0:24:06- What are you doing?- Katie, I am...

0:24:06 > 0:24:07I can explain.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10Yeah, well, explain this, doofus!

0:24:10 > 0:24:12- Oh!- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15- What's going on?- Your no-good mate two-timed me with this two-faced

0:24:15 > 0:24:18- numpty.- Two-timed you?

0:24:20 > 0:24:24Look, mate, it was all just a big misunderstanding.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27- Tell him.- I'm out of this.

0:24:28 > 0:24:29Fleur?

0:24:30 > 0:24:32Are you all right?

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Yeah, yeah...

0:24:34 > 0:24:35I...

0:24:35 > 0:24:36I think...

0:24:40 > 0:24:42I was trying to ask out Sarah,

0:24:42 > 0:24:45but her and Katie have got the same colour of hair.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Eli, you don't have to lie to me.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50I get it. Katie is an amazing woman,

0:24:50 > 0:24:52but she's like a wild beast.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55You can admire her from afar, but...

0:24:56 > 0:24:57..you'll never tame her.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01But I... I don't fancy Katie.

0:25:01 > 0:25:02You must be heartbroken.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04Come on, let me buy you some chips.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10If I cry, can I have some chicken to go with them?

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Stop taking photos.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22Too late, I'm tagging you on Facebook now.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24What's your favourite pub called again?

0:25:24 > 0:25:25Give me that phone or I'm going to...

0:25:25 > 0:25:28- You'll what?- I'll...

0:25:28 > 0:25:29I'll blockade the road.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Great. She couldn't nip home for ten minutes,

0:25:38 > 0:25:40now we're going to be stuck here for hours.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Why didn't you tell me?

0:25:43 > 0:25:45I didn't want you to feel guilty.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Dex, if you'd have taken that job two years ago,

0:25:48 > 0:25:51I'd have had to move to Scotland with my auntie, left my mates,

0:25:51 > 0:25:53- my music.- It worked out all right, didn't it?

0:25:53 > 0:25:56I met Lizzie, had the twins, got to hang out with you.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59I can't believe you gave up a job in Hollywood for that.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01You must be demented.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Well, maybe a little.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Anyway, now I get a second shot.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11- Unless...- I want to go.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13- Really?- Yeah.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15I can audition for Hillview when I'm 18.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18Plus, I checked out that website for LA Dance Academy.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21- It looks sick, man.- Awesome.

0:26:22 > 0:26:23Hey, Dexter...

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Thank you. For everything.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31I don't know how I could have got through the last couple of years without you.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33The twins are lucky to have you.

0:26:34 > 0:26:35Me too.

0:26:37 > 0:26:38You're an amazing dad.

0:26:40 > 0:26:41Come here.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49Hey, Pols, guess where I'm going.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55Mr Nunn, get up.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57I didn't put you in charge of our crossing warden programme

0:26:57 > 0:26:59so that you could just... Oh!

0:27:00 > 0:27:01Apologise.

0:27:02 > 0:27:06Otherwise, I'll be forced to remove that prefect's badge, missy.

0:27:06 > 0:27:10Keep your shonky badge, see if I care.

0:27:10 > 0:27:11CAR HONKING

0:27:11 > 0:27:12All right, all right.

0:27:13 > 0:27:18Yes, yes, yes, pap, pap, pap, pap, pap.

0:27:18 > 0:27:19You're not going anywhere, are you?

0:27:19 > 0:27:20CAR HONKING

0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Yes, you're not going anywhere either.- Ah!

0:27:23 > 0:27:25Yo, what happened to your thumb?

0:27:25 > 0:27:27Turns out I'm not that great at woodwork.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29It's a good thing we're leaving Elmsmere, then, isn't it?

0:27:29 > 0:27:30You can say that again.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34Do you think this place is going to be the same without us?

0:27:36 > 0:27:38Justice for lollipop men!

0:27:40 > 0:27:43Free the lollipop man!

0:27:43 > 0:27:47Fam, I don't think this place is ever going to change.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52- # Can't live with them - And you can't kick them out

0:27:52 > 0:27:54- # When you're up they rub it in your face- Kick you when you're down

0:27:54 > 0:27:57- # But when no-one understands them - You know what they're on about

0:27:57 > 0:27:59- # Always gonna be around - Gotta find a common ground

0:27:59 > 0:28:03# If you know so much about me

0:28:03 > 0:28:05# Where do I go from here?

0:28:05 > 0:28:07- # If you see them every day - You can never get away

0:28:07 > 0:28:10# Only time that you're the boss? 4 o'clock. #
