Two for Joy The Dumping Ground

'Has anyone seen a silver carriage clock from the office?'

It used to belong to my mother. I mean, it means an awful...

-Another one!

-Another what?

A missing thing. A mirror's gone from Bailey's room.

-Mo's lava lamp.

-And my Peter Pan book.

-Really?

-Ryan...?

-Excuse me, I don't want anyone accusing anyone.

-Apologise, please.

-Sorry.

-Not to me, to Ryan.

-Sorry!

You should tell us about things going missing.

-Yeah, maybe it wasn't stolen.

-Might have been a prankster.

Don't look at me. I was in my social work yesterday.

Well, prank or no prank, it stops immediately.

I propose an amnesty, no questions, no comebacks,

providing everything is returned to the office

-by the end of the day.

-And if it's not?

If they're not, I'll have to get the police involved.

Why is Mike always defending him?

Maybe he thinks he owes him. Mike got suspended

-and Ryan helped him get reinstated.

-Where's Jody?

-Dentist.

-Again?

-She must have really bad teeth.

-It didn't stop her crunching

on them horrible sweets Tee and Carmen gave us.

Do you think Jody's somewhere else?

-Hello, sis!

-Yes!

LAUGHTER

-What do you think?

-Still whiffs of Gran, don't it?

I got some smelly candles.

It's not much better

than prison, is it?

Only me, you little monkey!

You done good.

Real good.

Jody's phone rang out, so I called the dentist.

She ain't been in there for months.

-That doesn't add up.

-Course it does, Jody keeps disappearing.

Things have gone missing, she lies about where she is.

-Ergo?

-She's a thief!

-What yous doing?

-I'm doing the sponsored bounce.

Anyone want to sponsor me?

What are you raising money for?

-Hee Haws.

-The donkey sanctuary?

-Yeah, whoever raises

the most money gets a donkey named after them.

I want a donkey named after me.

-ALL: And me!

-It was my idea.

-We can all do it.

-Yeah, it will be more money for Hee Haws.

-Well, there

-can only be one winner.

-ALL: Me!

-Jody has been acting really weird recently.

-Even Carmen noticed.

That must be why she asked Tyler to keep an eye, mustn't it?

-She said she needed some looking after.

-Hey!

-That was a private conversation!

-Oh, no, um...

I just remembered, I need to go clean out the kitchen,

-excuse me.

-So, what's going on?

-That you didn't tell us about.

Look, Jody's a mate, she's one of the good guys.

-Carmen was just worried.

-Yeah, Carmen worried about Jody,

she must be in really deep trouble, then. We need to find her.

-Where do we look?

-I don't know.

-I do.

-Her phone was on when you rang her, right?

-Yeah.

She's always losing her phone, so she asked me to pair it

to the homing tracker. Bingo!

BEEPS

Right, so that red dot is Jody. Well, Jody's phone.

Close your eyes and hold your hands out.

-It's not one of your tricks, is it?

-Trust me.

-You still love 'em, right?

-Yeah!

-I was hoping you did.

-You want to play?

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Have you seen Mike's clock?

-No.

-Ryan.

-I wasn't running.

-Yeah, right, it's not that. Come on.

-What have you been saying now?

-Nothing.

-This is Gary, your independent visitor.

-Good morning, Private Ryan!

-Independent visitor?

-Yeah.

PHONE CHIMES

Oh, sorry. I'd better get this, it's from one of my...yeah...

I suggested to Chloe that she talk to an independent visitor.

-You said you wanted one too. Yours came first.

-Yeah, well,

-I've changed my mind.

-Wait, wait. This could be good for you.

I worry that you're feeling pushed out with Harry leaving

and with you and Chloe not getting on.

He'd be on your side. An ear to bend with no comeback.

-You might find him useful.

-Er, yeah, sorry about that.

-Just organising a visit to Trucks for them.

-The skate park?

Yeah, a mate of mine runs it.

-You take people to Trucks?

-If that's what they want to do.

ALL: Oh!

BEEPS

-We've come the wrong way.

-I was following the dot.

-It's that way!

No worries, yeah, later.

-Sorry about that.

-Who was it?

-No-one. Hey, don't feel like

you need to stick around or anything. If you need to get back...

-I'm happy here. As long as you are.

-Yeah, yeah, sure.

-Where are we up to?

-You're in jail.

That'd be right!

It was a joke. Look, I know you're probably beating yourself up

about me going to prison, but it wasn't your fault, Jodes.

It was mine. And in a funny kind of way, it was the best thing that

ever happened to me. Straightened me out. Thank you.

-That's my ball!

-Archie!

-No, no, no, I want to find Mike's clock.

I know what it is like to lose something so precious.

You can get him another one, I bet there's loads of them

-in the charity shops.

-I think I need to explain emotional attachment

-to you.

-I think I need to explain sentimentality to you.

Come on, I'm sure we can find one that looks a bit like Mike's.

Shall we... I'll show you a couple of old-school tricks, mate.

I'm doing a sponsored walk - with this.

And I'm doing a sponsored tap dance.

ALL: NO!

-We can't have you doing dancing again.

-Please, no!

-You're always dancing.

-OK, then, I've got a better idea.

-Come on, Floss.

-Hurry up!

-Come on.

Backwards everything do I'll!

LAUGHTER

-Floss!

-Name be will donkey the.

No, the donkey will be called Billy.

LAUGHTER

I think that's the right time.

-Do you want to do something?

-Like?

I don't know. Go out somewhere.

The park, maybe?

DUCKS QUACK

-Nah, but you go if you want to. I'm happy here.

-So am I.

THEY CHATTER AND ARGUE

-Hold on, what's going on?

-The signal's gone.

Look, we're in between transmitters, I've just got to wait for the GPS.

-Yeah, yeah, that will sort it(!)

-Just pass it!

You two should work for NASA.

BEEPING

-Right, we're back.

-No, I fixed it!

THEY CHATTER AND ARGUE

Trashing me body is not what I call an old-school trick.

-It was a stupid place for a street light.

-On the street?

I'll never be a professional ballerina now.

-What do you want, stalker?

-Ignore anything he says about me.

You must be Chloe. Your request for an independent visitor

has gone through, they're just processing it,

-so don't worry.

-All right.

OK. I'm sorry, would you mind giving me and Ryan some space -

for us to chat?

Yeah, of course.

Your and her not get on?

Shall we get out the rain?

-Jody, Rosie. Rosie, Jody.

-Hiya, I live in the flat over there.

-I looked out for your gran.

-Do the gang know me?

-Yeah.

Oh, man, I owe them big time.

Look, can you have a word with them? Smooth things over?

They'll want some cash.

-I haven't got any, have I?

-That might be worth something.

Enough to keep the gang away?

For now, maybe.

-Take it.

-Are you sure?

Yeah.

Oh, thanks, monkey.

You want to be careful, they'll have that off you in a heartbeat

-round here.

-Ain't that Mike's?

-Yeah.

-Let's go after her...

-No.

We have to speak to Jody first.

Come on!

Chloe seems nice.

-Everyone loves Chloe.

-Oh, and you don't?

-They all think she's nice and I'm not.

-Who thinks that?

Everyone.

I don't.

You don't know me.

I'm getting to.

You don't want to. I'm bad.

-Oh, no, you're not.

-I've done things.

Like what?

Bad things.

Ryan...?

Are there any shops round here?

Come on...

It's this one!

Track complete! This is it!

-We followed your phone tracker!

-What?!

HE GASPS

Remove it or lose it.

All right, One Direction.

-Hello, Kingsley.

-What do you want?

-They were just going.

-Who's he?

-He's my brother.

You have to come back to Ashdene Ridge.

I'll only go back to talk to Mike about me living here.

-You can't!

-Watch me.

-Where's the stuff?

-The stuff you pinched.

-Yeah.

-We saw that woman

-with Mike's clock. We know it's you.

-You think you know everything,

don't you? Snooping about, sticking your noses into other

people's business. Well, I don't need it and I

don't need you! Any of you.

Leave me alone!

What are we going to do now?

-Tyler's right, you'll have to go back.

-What?

-'Fraid so.

-No, I want to be here with you!

-I can't stay here.

-Why?

Look, the gang's going to tip up soon wanting cash, Jodes.

-I've got to split before that happens.

-I'll help.

DRAMATIC MUSIC

Arr, harr, Kingsley!

PIRATES SHOUT

You can get more things from the kids' home we can sell.

Or better still, you go back, leave the door on the latch,

me and Rosie will sneak in tonight and we'll strip the place.

I'll go see Rosie now, set things up. Oh, you're a star!

Look, I'm going to win the most sponsor money in the donkey...

ALL CHATTER

-Bye.

-Goodbye!

-Bye!

Come on.

-Hey, Sasha, did you find a replacement clock?

-No.

But she found that.

-She's obsessed with it.

-I'm not obsessed.

-You won't let

-me have a go.

-You can, when I get to the end of the level.

-GAME BEEPS

-Ah!

Now, I have to start all over again.

LAUGHTER

-What did you get that for?

-It's the idea we had.

-Something I read about, it might help you.

-A balloon?

A device to lift something off your shoulders.

A balloon?

It's like a message in a bottle. It's not like a message in a bottle,

cos no-one's ever going to read what you're going to write,

but you write things down, things you want to get off your chest -

some of those bad things maybe - and then you tie it to the balloon,

the balloon flies into the sky, takes all your problems with it.

Fancy giving it a go?

-You won't see what I write?

-No-one will.

OK.

Jody's brother was nice, wasn't he?

He's not nice...at all.

-Yeah, but people change.

-Mm, Jody has, she's mean now.

Don't you think she'll live with us no more?

Do you think I'll get my lava lamp back?

-Like Mike's clock?!

-Shall we tell him about that?

LAUGHTER

You know what, tell Mike, tell the police, tell everyone!

I don't care what happens to her any more.

-Hang on a minute.

-Wait up.

Everyone here hates me.

They hate me for the things I've done.

Well, for the things they know I've done.

They'd really hate me if they knew the other things I did.

Like getting Mike suspended.

I stole a file. I set him up.

I sat back and watched when he had to leave.

Then I planted the file to get him reinstated.

I felt so powerful.

And then Mike found out it was me. He forgave me for it, though.

Nobody else knows, but they're all still horrible to me.

-How's it going, mate?

-Yeah, it's good. Just finished.

'I hate them for that. I don't want to hate, but...

'They hate me, so... I'm just hating them right back.'

Are you sure this is safe to let go?

Yeah, totally. Then your troubles will be carried away

as it flies high into the sky.

-Shall we sing?

-You're joking, right?

Yeah. Just Somewhere Over The Rainbow popped into me head.

It's not in mine.

-Give it back!

-It's my turn now.

-Wait until I get to the end of the level.

-No, you've been on it ages.

-I know, please, let me just clear

that level, please!

Wait for me.

We can't just walk away from Jody, can we? Leave her to

deal with her brother, the police and everything.

What do you mean? She slammed the door in our faces.

Nearly took my foot right off. I'm not walking away.

She pushed us away.

You happy?

No. Not yet.

SHE COUGHS

I bet there's loads of expensive gear in that kids' home.

We'll be rich.

SMOKE ALARM BEEPS

SHE COUGHS

-What the...?

-I'll call 999.

-I can't have the police here, let's bounce.

-Help!

- Where's Jody? - With you lot, ain't she?

Have you rung the fire service?

-He wouldn't let me.

-Listen.

JODY SHOUTS

-Jody's in there!

-Fire, please.

HELP!

HELP!

SMOKE ALARM BEEPS

-We'll have to do something!

-No, the fire service are on their way.

-You don't know what you're doing!

-Jody needs me.

-Yeah, but we need you.

-Where are you going?

-I have to go.

It's not worth it, you don't know what you're doing.

-I'm going in!

-Tyler!

-Tyler!

-Tyler! Come back.

HE COUGHS

HELP!

-HELP!

-Jody! I'm coming, I'm coming.

-Tyler.

-Jody, get down.

Smoke rises. Come on, let's go, let's go!

THEY COUGH

I'll call Mike and May-Li.

SIRENS WAIL

-I have to go, Jody's in trouble.

-What...?

-Is she all right?

-Yeah, of course. I see you've finished

-your sponsored things, then.

-Looks like it.

-Has your visitor left yet?

-Yeah, he was boss. It's nice to have

someone on my side for a change.

Good luck.

GAME BEEPS

-It's not much.

-I know, we can pool it together.

-Make the money from all of us.

-Yeah.

-No!

-Everything OK, Sasha?

There's a loose connection, you have to keep...

I know what I'm doing! It's rubbish.

I mean, how they charge a full two quid

for this piece of junk is totally beyond me!

We should have tried harder to look for a clock for Mike.

Who are we going to name the donkey after?

I know...

JODY COUGHS

Tyler? You could have died.

-You do realise?

-Yes, but...

-No, no, no buts...

You never... I mean, you never, under any circumstances,

go into a building that's on fire. Do you understand?

-It was all my fault.

-Yeah, true.

And you, young lady...

You have some making-up to do.

Yeah, well, Sasha's book's OK.

My lava lamp is just lava.

Let's just give them some space. In the car...

Tyler, I need to find Kingsley. I need to let him know

what's gone on here.

He knows.

He was outside with us. He heard you screaming from the flat.

But he ran away.

He ran away?

I'm sorry.

You left me. You ran away and left me to burn to death.

You're all right now, ain't you?

-Well, no thanks to you.

-Shut it, you.

I thought you'd changed.

-Yeah, well, it's not that easy, is it?

-Yeah, it is!

There is no gang, no debt. It was all a trick to get money from you.

-Well, it must be worth something if she wants it!

-Don't be stupid!

You deserve a better brother than this.

I know I deserve a better boyfriend.

Oh, thanks(!)

Everything you said...

..all your letters...

Your phone calls about getting the family back together...

I believed you.

What an idiot!

Change your ways, Kingsley.

-Or what?

-You'll be back in prison before you know it.

I know you'll do your best to repair the damage.

But I have a duty to report thefts...

..and to put a note in your file. However...

Luckily for you...

..I announced an amnesty this morning.

No questions, no comebacks.

Although, I'm not so sure everyone else

will be as quick to forgive you.

I know...

I know...I've let you all down.

And...I've lied to you...

..and I'm sorry...

I just... I dreamt of...

..having my family back together.

And I had these...

..these pictures in my head... of all of us...together again.

But I realise now...

SHE SNIFFS

..it was just that...

A dream.

You're my family, my real family.

And I'm going to try and make this up to you.

Some of the stuff I took I can...

I can, I can get it back... hopefully and...

..and the rest of it, I'll try and replace.

-I'll try.

-I'll help you.

-Me too.

-And me.

-Me too.

-Yeah, we all will.

-Of course.

All of us.

-Mike, we need you - quickly.

-What?

And...you, you, you, you, you...

And you...

Come on, Mike.

-He's only visiting!

-Wow, there's a donkey in the garden!

-Why is there a donkey in the garden?

-So we can pick up the sponsor money.

And so we can name him.

We thought long and hard about who we were going to name him after.

And in the end, we decided to call him...

ALL: MIKE!

LAUGHTER

-Oh, wow.

-He's strong and dependable, kind and gentle...

And he has gorgeous eyelashes!

LAUGHTER

-He's beautiful.

-Hello!

-Can I have a word?

-Yeah, what is it?

-Mike smells.

-Does he smell...?

-What now?

-I know you broke into Mike's car and stole the file.

I know everything. How you got him suspended,

all your dirty little secrets. How you hate us all...

Ryan?!

We can have a party. To celebrate the naming.

Nothing too extravagant, pizza delivery or something?

ALL: YEAH! PARTY!

HE PANTS

I don't want to blackmail you and I don't want to hurt you.

We're family, for better or for worse.

So, I'm stuck with you.

ALL CHANT: PIZZA, PIZZA, PIZZA!

PIZZA!

CHEERING

-Thank you.

-What for?

-For everything.

If I could pick anyone to be my brother...I'd pick you.

-Shut up.

-I mean it.

Thanks for saving my life, standing by me.

-Well, you'd do the same for me.

-I wouldn't.

Seriously, I wouldn't!

Let me turn up this music, here we go...
