0:00:02 > 0:00:05There's been a lot of drama in our house recently.
0:00:05 > 0:00:06Not bad drama.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Theatrical drama.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11They've finally announced that the school play is going to be...
0:00:11 > 0:00:13- Romeo...- And Juliet.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Goodnight, goodnight.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Parting is such sweet sorrow
0:00:17 > 0:00:21that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Huh...
0:00:23 > 0:00:27See what I mean? The auditions are today and all of the lead roles are
0:00:27 > 0:00:29going to Lauren's year group.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32But Lauren's not the only person who thinks they deserve one.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35A plague on both your houses.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41These auditions cannot come quick enough.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Fare thee well.
0:00:46 > 0:00:52THEME MUSIC PLAYS
0:01:17 > 0:01:20It's been a week since the school show auditions and the cast list
0:01:20 > 0:01:25went up today. The thing is, Ms Conway, the drama teacher,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28hasn't exactly gone for traditional casting.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Friar Lauren!
0:01:30 > 0:01:31I mean, do I look like a friar?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33I can't even fry an egg.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35That's why they call it acting.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Anyway, he's not that kind of fryer.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38So, what's he like?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41He makes dodgy plans and schemes that ends in complete disaster.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Oh, so I'll base my character on you, then.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51Ms Conway has decided to go for cross casting which means the girls
0:01:51 > 0:01:53are playing boys and the boys are playing...
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Juliet!
0:01:55 > 0:01:57How can I be Juliet?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00I think it's a great new way to do a really, really old play.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Well, I think it's stupid.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04So you're not taking the part?
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Of course I am. It's the lead role.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10His ego doth know no bounds.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16A-ha! Just the man I was looking for.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- You mean girl.- Do I?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- What's up? - Fast, mean, racing machines.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26Kart Attacks. The third-biggest local go-kart racing competition.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29You get to design, build and race the go-kart of your dreams.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31You dream about go-karts?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Yeah. Craig and I designed the ultimate go-kart.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37We called it The Incinerator because all the other karts are
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- going to get BURNED.- Cool.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41So, we signed up for the race ages ago.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46- And Craig's not here to help me build it so I thought maybe you could.- Go-karts? No clue.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Gold, I could help you with, if I had the time.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- But now I have rehearsals every day after school.- Oh, not to worry.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I guess The Incinerator can wait for another year.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Oh, no, don't put it off.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Why don't you ask Jake? - That is a great idea.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Ho-ho! This go-kart's going to make the Batmobile look like a tricycle.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Wow. And I thought I was competitive.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I've decided that I'm fine with being cast as a man.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I'm just going to pretend like I'm a girl but less cool.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Ah, that's great, love. But what made you change your mind?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20It's actually a really important part.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Nothing exciting would happen if it wasn't for the friar.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26In fact, the play should be called Romeo and Juliet and the Friar.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28It's not the catchiest title, is it?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Whatever. As long as I get a cute costume.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32You'll be the most stunning friar ever.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35I don't know why all these Hollywood actors go on about it being such a
0:03:35 > 0:03:38hard job. All I've got to do is put on a dress and talk in a
0:03:38 > 0:03:40high-pitched voice. Part sorted.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Is that, like, a joke?- No.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Is that actually all you think there is to being a girl?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Course not. I think that's all I need to do to pretend to be one.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55Hey, Juliet, one of Shakespeare's greatest female characters,
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I think you'll find it's a little bit more complex than that, Leo.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Complex? She's just a young girl.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- Right, Declan?- You know no-one thinks like that any more, right?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Well, except Leo, who is apparently 1,000 years old.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13You deserve that, mate.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Welcome. Millie's through there.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I came straight away, just like you said.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Now let's build a gold car.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26You do know I said go-kart, right?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- That'll be a lot easier.- Thanks for agreeing to do this with me, Jake.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I used to have Craig to do all my boy stuff with.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Why not ask Leo?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34He's busy becoming Juliet.
0:04:34 > 0:04:40Long story. Now, let me introduce you to The Incinerator.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Looks like a shopping trolley.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47This go-kart has maximum visibility due to its elevated driving position.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49And the lateral bumpers protect it from collisions.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53And a three-speed gearbox to optimise acceleration.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Wow.- I know.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I understood, like, 2% of that.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59But when do we get to hammer stuff?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- You do know what a go-kart is, right?- Totally.- Great.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07But why build that when we could build a time machine?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Oh!- Don't mind me.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11OK, let's go back to the start.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Now, we have elevated seating.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Ooh, you sure you want to do that? It's going to slow you down.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Says who?- The laws of physics.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23You see, the high driver will increase air resistance.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26But if you lower the seat, it will be more aerodynamic.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Or you could just add a spoiler.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29No, don't tell me what happens at the end.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32But then I'd have to redo all my designs.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Well, I could help you.- No, it's all right, I've got Dec...
0:05:35 > 0:05:36..helping me.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Is it because I'm a girl?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42No, no. I'll have you know I'm a proud feminist.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44But you said this was boys' stuff.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49You're hired. Welcome to Team Speed Demon.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55So how's everything with your parents?
0:05:55 > 0:05:56It's going to run and run.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Dad's back. Now he wants us all to go on holiday, to work things out.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01That doesn't sound too bad.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Hiking on Orkney.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Like, my mum's favourite thing.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- How was rehearsal? - Oh, great, for some of us.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Complete waste of time.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Why are we even doing this play?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14It's over 400 years old.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16So nearly as old as your attitudes about girls, then.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Leo's just mad because Ms Conway said that Juliet is meant to be a
0:06:20 > 0:06:22tragic heroine, not a cliched joke.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25And if he wants to keep the role he'd better do some work.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28What does Ms Conway know? I got some laughs, didn't I?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Yeah, but probably for all the wrong reasons.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33And Ms Conway knows what she's talking about.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36She said my friar had loads of sass.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Oh, the friar needs a lot of sass, then?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41But I'm not wasting time doing research.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Why would I ever need to know what it's like to be a girl?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Never know. Might come in handy one day.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Sorry. Did you not want an answer?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Whatevs. Ms Conway can find another Juliet.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Because I'm quitting.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Oh!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Well, I don't know about Juliet but he plays a stroppy teenager very well.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08So, Leo's given up the lead role before he's even started,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11just because he can't begin to think like a girl or won't try and find
0:07:11 > 0:07:15out. OK, there must be some way to reach him,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18some way to bring out his inner Juliet.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Make him feel what she felt.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24After all, he did help me and Jessie with our dance routine.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Good, nice.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Yep. Come on, Jessie. Nice, spin, and big air.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Good. Come on, Jessie.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35So, I guess I sort of owe him for that.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38We've got to make sure he sticks with the part and gets it right.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40THUDDING
0:07:40 > 0:07:42That is not helping.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44So not Juliet.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46KNOCKING ON DOOR
0:07:46 > 0:07:48What?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51We were wondering if you could stop the house quake.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Anything else?- Yeah.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Any chance you could stop insulting teenage girls?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I said I'm quitting the play, didn't I?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- You and I both know you don't like to quit.- What choice have I got?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Well, you could actually put the work in.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Not when I'm surrounded by girls making fun of me.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08That's the point.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10You're surrounded by girls.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Maybe we can help.- You can? How?
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Well, A, we're girls.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18And B, acting's about putting yourself in someone else's shoes.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20We can help you understand Juliet.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23You know what it's like to be so boy-crazy that you lose
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- all sense of reason?- No, but I know someone who does.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30No way! Why should I help Leo?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Because it'll be fun making him see how girls suffer.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Hm. I'm in. Let's start scheming.
0:08:41 > 0:08:47MUSIC: The Chain by Fleetwood Mac
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- BOTH:- I've come up with a new design.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11What, wait, you've designed a go-kart?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Yeah. I said I'd help.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Yeah, I thought you meant just handing me tools and stuff.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17The Incinerator 2.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- Nice gearbox configuration. - Thanks, yeah, I thought we'd start with that.- Wait.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Aren't you going to have a look at my design?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Wow. It's got four speed.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Yeah, and it's got a cooling system for the engine.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Yeah, I still think we'll go with mine, though.- What, why?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Why, I've built loads of go-karts. It's what boys do.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36So we're going with yours because you're a boy?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38No. You know I don't think like that.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40It's just, well, I've dreamt of building The Incinerator.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42And now I finally get to.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- I tell you what, if mine doesn't work out, then we'll go with yours, yeah?- Fine.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49But you're handing me the tools.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- I was watching that.- Oh, better put it back, then.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Yeah. Don't want to upset Leo.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04He goes all red when he gets upset.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05This is a girl's lesson, isn't it?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Yep. Guys mostly ignore girls.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- When they're not teasing them. - OK, I think I get it, so...
0:10:10 > 0:10:11- Or talking over them. - But I was going to...
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Yeah, they talk over them a lot.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Even when they have nothing to say.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20So, teasing means the guys don't like you. I mean, me.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22No. It usually means they fancy you.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- What?- Oh, you've got so much to learn.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- But don't worry, we'll mansplain. - Huh?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32PHONE BLEEPS
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- What did you just do?- Deleted someone called Hannah.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36I was about to ask her out.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Now I'll never know.- Well, it doesn't matter, she's not suitable for you.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42You can't tell me who I can and can't go out with.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Welcome to Juliet's world.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45The boys get to be all laddy.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48While you have to stay at home and be told who you can date.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50And then you meet Romeo.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54He's fun, he's forbidden, he actually listens to you.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Do you know how rare that is?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Well, can I at least have my phone back?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Did Juliet get to text Romeo?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I can't believe I finally built The Incinerator 2.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11SHE CLEARS THROAT
0:11:11 > 0:11:13We, we finally built it.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I know you worked hard on your plans, Fran,
0:11:15 > 0:11:19but I think it was the right decision to go with the experience on this one.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Trust me, this little beauty is going to fly into first place.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25The go-karts are allowed to fly?
0:11:25 > 0:11:26How do you know it's going to work OK?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Because I know. Because I designed it.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- Yeah, but have you actually tried starting it?- Well, no, but...
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- Don't you think you should before the race?- Absolutely.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40ENGINE SPLUTTERS
0:11:40 > 0:11:42ENGINE SPLUTTERS
0:11:42 > 0:11:44ENGINE CRASHES
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Ow!
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Are you OK?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Do think we should look at my plans now?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Is that my football kit?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Yep. Time to layer up.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Yeah, right. It's not cold, and I'm not about to play a match.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Uh, Juliet didn't get to wear clothes based on what she was doing
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- that day, Leo.- Juliet never had to wear shin pads.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19You're right. She had to wear itchy underwear,
0:12:19 > 0:12:22tight corsets and a million petticoats.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- Would you prefer that look?- No.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27I look ridiculous.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Only cos you're not wearing the right shoes.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33No.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37This outfit will be so on point.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Literally.- Come on, Millie, you can't be serious!
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I can't walk in those. I'll break my neck.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Whereas girls find these so comfortable?- They like wearing them.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- Don't they?- Yeah, we love wearing them.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54- See?- We love the way they make us totter around like giraffes on stilts,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57like we love wearing those short tight little skirts that you can't
0:12:57 > 0:13:02move in, or long flouncy dresses that make walking upstairs such an adventure,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05or those little tops that finish before they've even started.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09And why do we adore all of these lovely clothes?
0:13:09 > 0:13:14Because TV, social media, and magazines tell us that we have to look good,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17and everyone knows that that's our job.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Good then?- I was being sarcastic.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I draw the line at stilettos.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24But acting's putting yourself in someone else's shoes.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Yeah, but literally?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Now, run or you'll miss the bus.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43What? No! Tell it to wait!
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Don't make me walk to school like this!
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Ah, ow, ooh!
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Ah...
0:13:53 > 0:13:54That's better.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- Sore feet?- Ah!- How did it go? Did people stare at you?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Judge you for your appearance?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05No. It was all fine. In fact, I probably started a trend.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Yeah, right. And the shoes?
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Easy, once I mastered the walk.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Really? Show us then.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Yeah, maybe you could give us a few pointers.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15No, don't make me wear them again.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19OK, we'll let you off, but remember Juliet didn't have the choice.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21So, get into character.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22It's the afternoon.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Where's she been? - Just back from school?
0:14:24 > 0:14:25She doesn't go to school, silly.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- She's a girl. - So what's she doing now?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Chilling?- Nowhere in the play does it say Juliet chills.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Does it, Millie?- No. She doesn't have the time.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35She's too busy being in love.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- So?- So, she wouldn't be playing computer games for a start.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41She'd be obsessing over her Romeo.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Obsessing how?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44She couldn't stalk on social media.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47And they say romance is dead.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51She could embroider his face on a cushion, like a medieval selfie.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I am not expressing my love through needlepoint.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Well, you could write a sonnet.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59A sonnet's like a love poem, expressing your deepest feelings.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Are you mansplaining? - One verse.- Yeah.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Make it so soppy that the ink cries.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- Dude...- There were no dudes.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19Romeo, you are so hot.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21She would not say "hot".
0:15:21 > 0:15:26OK. Romeo, you are so...
0:15:26 > 0:15:28fair
0:15:28 > 0:15:30When I see your face
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I walk on air
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I count the hours until we meet
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Torture has never been so sweet.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Leo, that was...
0:15:42 > 0:15:43- Beautiful.- Well,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46it was either that or - "How do you get shoes to fit such big feet?"
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- And the moment's gone. - Talking of which, how are your feet?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Agony.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00My heart is fluttering like a bird
0:16:00 > 0:16:06Mine ear caresses every word uttered by fair Romeo
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Wherever he goes, so must I follow.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Well, I've got to hand it to you, Fran,
0:16:14 > 0:16:18your design looks more reliable and faster than The Incinerator.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20And this one looks like it might actually move.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Too bad no-one was interested in my design.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25It's a time machine.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27We show up at the finish line before the race even starts,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30and then all the other drivers will be like, "What?!"
0:16:33 > 0:16:34So, what are you going to call it?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39The Incinerator 3.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Oh, but it's your design, not mine.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Well, we both built it.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Besides, it will help you race better.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Oh, I'm not going to race this.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49What? Because a girl helped you build it?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51No, because you're going to race it.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Well, you worked really hard and you actually know what you're talking
0:16:54 > 0:16:56about, so you should be the one to race it.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57I've never raced before.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Hey, don't stop believing and hold on to that ceiling.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02You didn't give it a ceiling.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Basically, you got this.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07To The Incinerator.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Hello.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14How did rehearsals go?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- OK.- It was better than OK.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18It was captivating.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20So you're not dropping out, then?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22How could I? According to Ms Conway,
0:17:22 > 0:17:26my Juliet is beginning to come alive and has the potential to be a
0:17:26 > 0:17:29beautifully nuanced performance.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I know that I can't leave now.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Just when the play needs me.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37So it worked. We helped you channel Juliet?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Yeah.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Who knew I'd be such a great method actor?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Method acting is based on observation and emotional memory.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Are you mansplaining?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Maybe I should dig deeper.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Yes. It's not enough to understand teenage girls.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57I must become one.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Why are you looking at me?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03This is totally not my fault.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05That's what Friar Laurence said.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08I don't think this house can take another teenage girl.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13# I don't mean to brag
0:18:13 > 0:18:14# I don't mean to boast
0:18:14 > 0:18:17# I love all y'all but I love me the most... #
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- OVER TV:- You know I'll always love you, Brad, but we can't be together.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22At least not in this life.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24# Go and raise your glass give yourself a toast
0:18:24 > 0:18:27# I love all y'all but I love me the most
0:18:27 > 0:18:29# I don't mean to brag I don't mean to boast
0:18:29 > 0:18:32# I love all y'all but I love me
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- # I love me - I love me
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- # I love me - I love me
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- # I don't know about you - I don't know about you
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- # But baby I love me - Baby I love me
0:18:41 > 0:18:46- # Now everybody sing - Hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- # I love me - Hey-hey-hey
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- # I love me - Hey-hey-hey
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- # Everybody sing - Hey-hey-hey
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- # I love me - Hey-hey-hey
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- # You love you - Hey-hey-hey
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- # I love me - Me too.- #
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Enough. We cannot take any more cliches.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08You think teenage girls are all about clothes, boys and selfies?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Lauren is obsessed with all of the things you just said.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Yeah, well, some girls do love a selfie marathon,
0:19:15 > 0:19:16but not all teenage girls.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18But what else is there?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Well...
0:19:20 > 0:19:23MUSIC: Brianstorm by Arctic Monkeys
0:19:31 > 0:19:33# Brian
0:19:33 > 0:19:36# Top marks for not trying
0:19:36 > 0:19:38# So kind of you to bless us with your effortlessness
0:19:38 > 0:19:42# We're grateful and so strangely comforted
0:19:42 > 0:19:44# And I wonder
0:19:44 > 0:19:48# Are you putting us under?
0:19:48 > 0:19:52# Cos we can't take our eyes off the T-shirt and ties combination
0:19:52 > 0:19:54# Well, see you later, innovator... #
0:19:54 > 0:19:57SCREAMING
0:20:06 > 0:20:08# Thunder
0:20:08 > 0:20:11# Are you putting us under?
0:20:11 > 0:20:16# Cos we can't take our eyes off the T-shirt and ties combination
0:20:16 > 0:20:19# Well, see you later, innovator. #
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I am totally getting this.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30We girls are just the same as guys.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Only more fabulous.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Right. And we like to play footie, and watch a proper scary movie.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Yeah, and guys like romcoms, or having a good goss.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Tell me about it, girlfriend.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44They're the gossiest.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45We can be anything we want to be.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Oh, no, we can't.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- But you said...- We have to work twice as hard to get taken half as
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- seriously.- Now you're just being silly.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- See.- Oh, yeah.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Have you even heard of the pay gap?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- The what?- Or the glass ceiling?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03It sounds a bit risky. What if it smashed?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05We want it to!
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- OK, now you've lost me.- Right.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08OK, Leo, look.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13We've come a long way since Juliet, but we're still not equal yet.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16It's like we can see it but we can't reach it.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19You mean there's something blocking our way?
0:21:19 > 0:21:27Hard, but see-through, like an ice wall.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Looks like The Incinerator got incinerated.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35I can't believe I came last.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Hey, it is not because you're a girl.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- I know it's not.- Oh.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43It's because we didn't use tyres with enough traction.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- Hand me the wrench. - Hand me the wrench.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Hand me the wrench.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Don't know what a wrench is.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Someone tell Leo to get a move on, will you?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59You guys have got to be in costume in an hour.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Leo! Get down here!
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Juliet, it's dinner!
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- Somebody call me? - So, how are the nerves?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Ready to break a leg?
0:22:14 > 0:22:15- Not literally.- Absolutely.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I think the audience is really going to connect to Friar Laurence.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Leo...- What?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22You look like you might be sick.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24What if I'm not a good Juliet?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26What if I need more rehearsals?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- I don't think I'm ready. - Well, whatever happens tonight,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Mike and I are going to be very proud.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Pass me the milk, Leo.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40No, Mike. No, I will not pass you the milk,
0:22:40 > 0:22:44because that's what society expects, women to do what they're told.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- Women?- I think he's Juliet now.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48With their hair, and with their make-up.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Even telling them to wear make-up in the first place.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52What's wrong with their actual faces?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55We never told men they need contouring.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57- I taught him that word. - Then, there's the pay gap.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Why should you get paid more than Sharon?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Actually, Sharon earns more than me.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Good. That's a start,
0:23:03 > 0:23:07after the years and years of not even earning equal money.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Because I'll tell you something, Mike.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Girls are not just passive objects.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15They are footballers, and go-kart builders,
0:23:15 > 0:23:19and weird vegetable cushion designers,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22and they should be able to choose who they fall in love with.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Just wanted a glass of milk.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28I think he's ready.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42Well, the show did in fact go on, and it was actually pretty good.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44OK, so some of the cast forgot their lines,
0:23:44 > 0:23:48and a piece of set nearly flattened the boy playing the nurse,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51but that whole cross casting thing really worked.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54I've never been so uncomfortable in my entire life.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56This comes from the girl who wears five-inch heels.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59It was worth it, though. The audience really connected with the Friar.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Guest that's what suffering for your art means.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Oh, well, someone certainly suffered.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Well, I thought you was the most beautiful friar ever.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Thank you. Well, obviously.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16But the biggest surprise of the night was definitely...
0:24:16 > 0:24:19The best Juliet since Dame Judi Dench.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23That's what Ms Conway said.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24You really nailed it tonight.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Girls everywhere will thank you for not just putting on a long dress and
0:24:27 > 0:24:29a squeaky voice.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30OK, that was a dumb idea,
0:24:30 > 0:24:34and I guess I was a bit of a dinosaur, girl attitude-wise, but weirdly,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37doing this ancient play has made me get with the 21st century.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41So, from now on, you'll give girls more respect?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43No. I'll give you the same as boys,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46because after seeing you and Lauren watch scary movies,
0:24:46 > 0:24:50make weird experiments and headbang to my favourite running track,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I realised that we're pretty much the same.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Who's doing the washing up?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Not me. I'm exhausted after giving the performance of a lifetime.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Uh-oh, I think I've created a diva.
