Baby The Dumping Ground

UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's... Oh, I've no idea!

That is a rubber glove holder. I use it to hang my necklaces on.

-Yeah, that'd suit you, Lily.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, and this. Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh!

-Go away!

I've got a snow globe.

Oh, yeah. It spins round and it's musical. Check this out.

-FRAME CLATTERS

-Oop!

-Sorry.

-It's broken.

-It was an accident, Lil.

I'll get you a new frame.

What is this?

-A cat bowl?

-Oh, it's Wilbur's.

He's not living here, too.

-He can't. Shadow hates cats.

-We don't actually know that.

Of course she does, she's a dog. All dogs hate cats.

Or are you sending her back to the dog home, is that the plan?

-No!

-Why not? You're changing everything else.

Hey! Don't be like this, Lil.

You knew Shannay was moving in.

This...isn't moving in. This is taking over.

Come on, Shadow.

Where you going?

To get some space. Like you care.

I can't think in all her junk.

Lily!

DOOR SLAMS

Jody, can you be careful, please?

You're getting glue everywhere!

Look, it's all soggy. That's too much!

-Can I do the glitter?

-No!

-What's that?

-It's a memory box for Lily's new baby.

-What's it do?

-Nothing. You just put things in it.

Precious things the baby can treasure its whole life.

Bet it'd rather have a computer game.

Oh, you're just in a mood cos your tooth hurts.

Everyone needs somewhere to put all their old stuff.

I don't. Haven't got any.

You must do! Photos, birthday cards...

-You mean the one Carmen burnt?

-What?!

Erm, that was ages ago.

Who cares anyway? I travel light.

Argh!

Poor Tyler, that's really sad.

Look, why don't you make him a memory box?

One that's pretty like this.

And you can use as much glitter as you like.

It'll be dripping in glitter.

What would I put in it?

-Ask people for donations.

-Just stuff they don't want anymore.

-Just think how happy Tyler will be.

-Ecstatic!

And we can pretend that this was your genius idea.

Go on, take this.

-Thanks.

-It's fine. Go!

-Hiya. What are you doing here?

-I can't stand it!

-What?

Shannay and all her rubbish. It's like our flat's a big jumble sale.

But she's got to unpack. Give the woman a chance, yeah?

-And she wants to get rid of Shadow.

-I don't think that's true.

It is. Her manky old cat comes first now apparently.

Lily, you never said you were coming.

I thought it was Shannay's moving in day.

It is. That's why we're moving back here.

-Frank?

-Yeah?

-Can I see some stuff from your granddad?

-Why?

-I'm collecting donations.

-Donations?

-Yeah, er, memories.

-Memories?

-Just give me something old.

Thank you.

HE SINGS AND SHE LAUGHS

# I don't ask anything! #

SHE LAUGHS

-Get out of my room!

-Oop!

Oh, you looking for me?

I was just looking for some stuff, something old that I could have.

-Did you go through my things?

-I just need a donation.

I'll donate you in a minute! Don't go through my things!

I didn't take anything.

That's not the point! Never go through my stuff! Do you understand?!

Get out.

I thought you liked Shannay?

Doesn't mean I want to live with her.

She doesn't know the way that me and Dad do things.

-What things?

-Things.

She's moved all my stuff, messed up the kitchen,

and smashed a photo of Poppy and Rosie.

And she tried to cook tea.

-So?

-That's my job.

Hey, Lily. Very sensible, getting yourself out the way

while your dad and Shannay make the place ship-shape.

I'm not moving back. I'm staying here.

-Now, you know that's not really an option, Lily.

-Why?

Because you and your dad have been getting along brilliantly.

You just need to get used to Shannay being there.

Lily, she's really nice.

You should've seen some of the boyfriends my mum dumped on me.

You must be excited about the new baby.

Yay(!) Pooh and sick, exciting(!)

Lily, it's happening, whether you want it to or not.

And she's your dad's girlfriend,

so he's not really going to care what you think.

Oh.

Lily, come on, I didn't mean your dad doesn't care about you, too.

-I just kinda meant that...

-It's fine, honestly.

-Where's Shadow?

-With Tee.

I'm sure Mike and Gina will let you stay here for a couple of days.

-Look, I know when I'm not wanted.

-What are you going to do, then?

I dunno. There's always Poppy and Rosie.

You'd rather stay with the Perrys than with your dad and Shannay?

OK, fine. I'll find a place of my own.

Or I can live with Sapphire.

I don't really think Sapph would be up for that.

You and your dad need to give it another go.

He's coming round later to see you.

I heard Mike speaking to him on the phone.

Cheers, Mike(!)

Lily, you're not a kid.

You and Shannay just need to keep apart from each other.

In that flat?

Then talk to your dad, tell him how you feel.

LAUGHTER

-Hurgh!

-Wargh!

-What was that for?!

-I was giving you a shock.

That's for hiccups, I've got a loose tooth.

-Is it really bad?

-Mm-hmm.

-Tyler, shut your eyes.

-Why?

It's a good thing, I promise.

HE SIGHS

Open them now.

-What's this?

-It's your memory box.

So that's what you were collecting for.

Yeah, cos Tyler doesn't have any memories of his own.

That's a fishing thing from Frank.

JOHNNY: Tyler's never even been fishing.

-Oi, that's my badge!

-And my card.

-HE SIGHS

-"Happy birthday, Harry."

You can't give someone other people's memories!

-FRANK:

-Yeah, it has to be their own.

-Jody, you're so dumb!

If your brain was an atom bomb, you wouldn't blow snot out your nose!

LAUGHTER

-Stop laughing at me!

-Guys, that's enough.

Stop laughing at me. Stop!

-Ooh!

-That's the last time I do anything nice for anybody.

Ow.

SHE SCREAMS AND HE LAUGHS

JOHNNY LAUGHS

In you come, Lily.

-Hi.

-Hi, Dad.

-You all right?

-Hi, Lily.

-What's she doing here?

She wants to talk to you, too.

Yeah, well, it's between me and my dad, so...

Look, I know Shannay living with us

is going to feel strange for a while,

but we'll be fine, I promise you.

I wasn't planning to get rid of Shadow, Lily. I'd never do that.

My old flatmate was going to keep Wilbur if they didn't get on.

Look, I'm sorry we've started out all wrong.

I really want this to work.

-Do you?

-Yeah.

-Really?

-Really.

Then don't move in.

-What?

-Me and Dad are fine as we are.

-Lily.

-It's taken us ages to get this far and you wouldn't understand.

-I do.

-No, you don't! I helped him get better.

-It was me who did that.

-Yeah, I know you did, Lil.

But not so you could run off with her.

Shannay's good for me, good for us.

What about Poppy and Rosie?

You gave them up because you couldn't handle more kids.

They were settled at the Perrys.

Yeah, and I've got Shannay now. It's different.

So get Poppy and Rosie back and put that one into care.

-You don't mean that.

-Why not?

Get it adopted now, it'll never know the difference.

-That's enough!

-Easy, Lily.

Or just admit that you love that baby more.

-That's not true.

-Shut up! What do you know about it?

I hate you and your stupid baby.

Lily!

-Lily!

-Just leave me alone!

Sorry, Steve. I didn't see that coming.

-SHANNAY GASPS

-Are you OK, babes?

I think my waters have broken.

Right, well, come on, come on, take a seat, yeah?

It's too soon.

-How many weeks are you?

-36.

Well, it's a little early, but you'll be all right.

-Girls, go and get some towels.

-OK.

Guys, what's going on?

-Shannay's gone into labour.

-What?

-She's having contraptions.

-Contractions.

Stress can sometimes bring on early labour, you know.

Yeah, her waters have broken. She's, erm, 36 weeks.

Shannay Kelly. No, I've got a car.

Can you stand up, babes?

Here, I'll take your bag.

That's it.

-SHANNAY: The baby.

-It's OK. Come on.

Dad?

SHE SOBS

Jody?

Jody?

I've tried to fix the box.

Don't listen to Johnny, you were doing something nice.

It was Carmen's idea.

I was trying to cheer you up because you said you were sad.

I know, but just cos I haven't got stuff

doesn't mean I haven't got memories.

I could have done anything and Johnny Taylor doesn't know that.

I know! We can show him who the dumb one is!

Shall we?

Lily? Please come out.

SHE SOBS

I'm sure your dad will ring as soon as he can.

(Talk to her.)

Lily, it's me and Tee.

Come on, please let us in.

Come on, Lily, it's going to be OK.

It's not. Shannay went into labour because of me.

-It's not your fault.

-It is. You didn't hear what I said to her.

It's the stress, I heard Gina say.

Suppose something happened. What if the baby doesn't make it?

It will. Don't think like that.

I always have to do this, spoil things.

No, you don't.

I'm so horrible.

Like with the Perrys.

All I ever did was stir things between Poppy and Rosie.

I'm doing it with Shannay, too.

It's like I can't even help it.

She tried so hard and I was so mean.

Well, it's only because you care about your dad.

He's going to hate me now.

He was so excited about the baby.

He wanted everything to be perfect.

Well, it can still turn out OK.

I mean, babies are born early all the time.

I wish I could just go back to this morning,

help Shannay unpack, sort out all her things.

I wouldn't throw a strop about a stupid cat.

THEY CHUCKLE

(Come on.)

A first-class plane ticket to Zurich?

Yeah, that's Switzerland. They have good banks there.

-Was your dad robbing one?

-Nah, he was setting up an account.

What's in here?

My baby teeth. Mum kept most of them.

Urgh!

Tyler, look.

£10,000!

-Wow! Let me see!

-Uh-uh uh!

-Woah!

-It bounced.

"Pay Michael Sutton-Allan." Who's he?

He's a recluse, one of the richest men in the world.

-Wow!

-My dad was using his name as an alias,

but the guy he was conning conned him and wrote a bad cheque.

-I think we can use this.

-How?

Are there any pictures

of the real Michael Sutton-Allan on the internet?

Let's have a look.

Put your hand up, so it looks like you're taking the photo.

Smile.

Jody, get down.

Wow! How did you do that?

It's easy. Mum and Dad made fake documents all the time.

-That's really cool.

-Yeah, it is.

Shannay's still in the delivery room.

You should go there, Lily.

-Yeah, be with your dad.

-He'd want you to be there.

-You're family, you'll be allowed.

-And one of us can take you.

I can't. I need to go walk Shadow.

Lily, we can do it!

(He's coming, he's coming, he's coming.)

-Yes, it is!

-No, it isn't!

-Yes, it is!

-No, it isn't!

Yes, it is!

-If I'm so dumb, ask smarty pants Johnny.

-Ask me what?

Tyler's got some stuff from the day he met his dad.

We're trying to figure out who he is.

I thought you never knew your dad?

I don't, but this is from the day he flew me to Switzerland.

-Switzerland?

-I kept it as a souvenir.

-You flew first-class?

-It was really weird.

He said he had a family of his own to go to,

and he could never see me again.

Didn't tell me his name, didn't even let me take a photo of him.

But...I snuck this one on my mobile.

What's that?

Ten grand!

Now, that's a cheque that my dad threw in a bin.

He said it bounced, but I can't read the signature.

Maybe he's the bloke it's written out to,

not the one who signed it.

-Do you think so?

-Yeah.

-Have you checked this guy out on the internet?

-No.

No?! You're as dumb as she is.

Come on. Let's go check it.

-Move, this is really important!

-Why?

Tyler wants to find out who his dad is,

and these two are too thick to do it themselves.

Hang on. You don't know your dad.

He met him, once.

-Flipping heck, it's him!

-Who?

Michael Sutton-Allan, the multi-billionaire!

No way! Are you sure?

Check the photo, pin brain!

It is!

You should get a DNA test, take him to court - you'd be rich!

I want a finder's fee.

Tyler does have a better photo of him and his dad.

Well, let me see it.

Made you look, made you stare, made you wet your underwear!

Who's the dumb one now, bin lid?!

-I knew they were fakes.

-Yeah, course you did, mate.

Now YOU know how it feels!

What? Like Tyler's ever actually done anything, been anywhere,

or even had a dad.

FANFARE

APPLAUSE

Argh!

What's wrong?

Johnny's right.

I've never done anything, been anywhere. I don't even know my dad.

At least you've got things of your own to put in a memory box.

You've got these!

HE SIGHS

They're fake. Everything's just fake.

TEXT MESSAGE TONE

Is it from your dad?

"Meet your new baby brother."

Let's see.

Oh, he's well cute!

"Shannay's doing fine."

You can go and see him first thing.

-What?

-It's a bit soon.

-Your dad'll be expecting you.

-He'll be busy with the new baby.

He texted you the minute he could.

And what about Shannay? She won't want me there.

Of course she will. He's your brother.

HALF-brother.

-That's half more than I've got.

-And what about Poppy and Rosie?

Poppy and Rosie won't mind. You CAN be his sister, too.

He is cute.

Really cute.

Thanks for that.

Yes, yes, thank you. I'll let her know.

-Bye now.

-So, what did the hospital say about visitors?

-There's no point going to the hospital.

-What?

Shannay won't be there, they're discharging her this morning.

Home?

Already? That's fantastic news, babes.

-Is it?

-Yeah.

-Is it really?

-Yeah, man!

The nurse says that mum and baby are both doing fine.

Maybe you should go to the dentist.

It's my last baby tooth. You don't go for that.

Nope. You go to a vegetable.

-Huh?

-Preferably a raw one.

Oh, ow! Argh!

And then you put the tooth in this.

-What is it?

-His manky old tooth box.

Urgh!

Then you put that in your memory box.

Got to start somewhere. Come on, man up!

WISTFUL MUSIC PLAYS

Hey, Dad.

So, where's my new baby brother?

Dad?

Dad, where's the baby?

-Dad, where is he?

-Shannay took him to her mum's.

What? Why?

She's had second thoughts, Lil.

That us all living together isn't going to work.

What?

Ow!

-GINA:

-Tyler, what you doing?

-ELEKTRA: Oh, that's gross!

Carrot.

-Ohhh! Argh!

-I heard a crack.

-JODY:

-Let's see.

-GINA:

-Tyler, why don't you just leave it? Don't rush.

Just let it happen naturally, man.

-Or I could just punch you in the mouth.

-Elektra!

Big bite, mate.

TYLER GASPS

Let's have a look. No, spit it out.

All right, that's it. Come out of me kitchen. Leave me veg, g'wan!

Don't worry, mate. There's another way. Never fails.

This is all my fault. I'm so sorry, I never thought she'd go.

You said you hated her,

that we should get the baby adopted.

-I didn't mean it.

-Didn't you?

-No.

-Then why d'you say it?

Because I thought you'd come back to the dumping ground on your own.

-It's like she's always there.

-So why didn't you talk to me,

tell me you were feeling pushed out?

I didn't want to be a problem.

Oh, Lil.

It's just been me and you for so long.

It's still you and me, OK?

Nothing's going to change that.

So we can get Shannay back then, if I say I'm sorry?

Forget it, Lil.

Her mind's made up.

Coat hanger. Check.

Bicycle pump. Check.

Dental floss. Check.

Spade. Check.

Cork with a valve. Check.

Lemonade bottle.

HE BURPS

You know what to do.

Warrrgh!

TYLER SCREAMS IN PAIN

Owww!

What have you done, you imbecile bwoy?

Oh, let me look.

HE SNIGGERS

Oh!

Lily.

Your mum said you'd be here.

I'm sorry for what I said.

I just go off on one sometimes.

Yeah, well, it's out now. It's probably for the best.

It's not. I didn't mean it.

My dad really loves you.

And I love him.

-Then come back to the flat.

-I can't.

You can! I can ring Dad and he'll come and pick us up.

Lily, there's things you don't understand.

I've said sorry, haven't I?

You can say what you like, you're never going to accept me.

I'm just not going to put Steve through that.

Through what?

Having to choose between us.

You come first for him, Lily. You always will.

But he needs you, too.

Look, just tell him I'll come by later and get my things.

Shannay, you can't do this! What about the baby?

I have to do what's best for all of us.

It's his baby, too!

Carmen,

I need your help.

MIKE GROANS

I can't believe you did something so utterly idiotic and dangerous.

Hang on! I think I've got it.

-No. Sorry.

-It must be somewhere!

Never mind that. There's still a bit of tooth stuck in your gum,

so it's off to the dentist with you, young man.

Wipe that smug smile off your face. I'll sort you out later.

Lily, is this the best time to invite your friends over?

We're sorry about Shannay.

Congratulations, though.

Yeah.

Um, I went to see Shannay.

-What?

-She told me to tell you that she'll be round later,

to collect her things.

We've got loads to do, girls. Come on.

Here he is, the brave, brave soldier.

Was it bad?

-Did you find my tooth?

-Sorry, mate.

I told you you should have left it to come out on its own.

But that was my last one.

I've got nothing. Nothing to show I was even here.

You don't have nothing. You can have loads.

Memory boxes aren't just for old things.

-You can put stuff in as you go along.

-Starting today.

Yeah, like the time you conned me into thinking you had a rich dad.

"You got me good! I deserved it. Johnny."

Can I see that?

Or the time you helped me get my own back on him.

"To Tyler. Thanx 4 not finking I am dum and beeing my frend. From Jody."

Aw, that's sweet, Jody.

You can put other things in, new memories, whenever you want.

So I guess you'd better have that.

Oh, that's gross!

GINA LAUGHS

But isn't a memory box meant to be about family?

Well, we are your family. You should know that by now, man!

We found it! We found your tooth!

It's sweetcorn.

GROANS AND LAUGHTER

Hi, is everything packed?

Hi.

Hi. You look different.

-Hello, little man.

-He's just woken up.

He's so...little.

Come in.

I-I can't stay long.

Steve!

We, er, did some tea.

Look at him!

-Can I?

-Yeah.

Come on. Hey!

Steve, this wasn't what we agreed.

Shannay, we've made this for you. It's for the baby.

Yeah, it's a memory box.

You put all the baby's special things in it,

so as he grows up, he knows what he's done.

It's beautiful.

Well, open it, then.

It's from me, to welcome him, both of you. It's kind of like a family tree.

That's the baby,

and that's you and Dad,

and me and my mum,

and Poppy and Rosie, cos we came first,

and we'll always be here,

but you and Dad's new family... Well, and the baby. And me!

Wait, wait, wait!

Cos I don't want it to be just me and Dad anymore.

You're not just saying that?

Look, I've been split up from my sisters.

I don't really want to be split up from him as well.

Plus, I don't even know his name yet.

It's Jonah.

Jonah. Hey, Jonah!

SHADOW BARKS I forgot!

Wilbur! You got Wilbur for me?

Oh, he's fine with Shadow by the way.

Smacked her on the nose to show her who's boss,

curled up on Lily's bed!

You missed me?

So, Shannay, will you stay?

COOING

Right, everyone say cheese!

CHEESE!

-Now that's going in my memory box!

-LAUGHTER
