Stepping Up The Dumping Ground

# Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan

# Chaka Khan, let me rock you Let me rock you, Chaka Khan... #

-What's that?

-Nothing.

"Street Deez"? You know Tee and Carmen are entering this?

What?!

Yeah, they're outside, practising now.

-Oh, that's amazing.

-It's break dancing.

I DO think that we could do that, though.

-Really?

-Yes.

Look. Hold that.

See how she's got her legs bent like that?

What's she doing over there?

So have I. And then I'll be like this, like she has.

And then you've just got to kind of, like...

Like that...

and then move our head like that.

And then...just don't fall over.

-Give me a beat.

-OK.

SHE BEATBOXES

Yeah.

And then I'll be like...

SHE BEATBOXES

THEY LAUGH

Can we help you, or...?

You think you're going to win Street Deez with that?

Why don't you get lost, yeah?

But you can't break dance.

What, and you're the expert, are you?

All right, come on, then. Come on, Jody, let's see you break dance.

Let's see you do this spectacular move, come on.

-Go on, Jodes.

-Go on, Jody, break dance.

# I think I love you

# Chaka Khan, let me rock you Let me rock you, Chaka Khan

# Let me rock you, that's all I want to do

# Chaka Khan, let me rock you Let me rock you, Chaka Khan

# Let me rock you cos I feel for you, feel for you. #

So you going to go for it, then?

-You'd be great.

-Nah.

Not sure I can be bothered.

Ah, no change there, then.

Well, IF you decided that you could be bothered,

how about joining us?

Er...no. We discussed maybe her helping us with the dance moves.

Well, yeah, but thinking about it,

we'd actually work better as a three.

You know? Strength in numbers and all that.

Nah, she'd never enter.

What about YOU, Carmen?

Why are YOU entering?

It's not like you've showed this huge interest in dance before.

Um, what do you know?

I actually really, really love dance.

Are you sure it's not just another opportunity to show off?

"Spotlight on Carmen."

"Look at me, look at me."

No, it's fine. She said what she thinks, she doesn't want to do it.

That's just really very you, isn't it, Jody?

Oh, really? Well, I AM going to enter Street Deez...

on my own.

Yes! You're entering Street Deez?

No. I just said that to wind up Carmen.

She deserved it. All this time, she thinks she's going to be against me.

She'll be so stressed.

-It's just, I really thought you was going for it.

-I AM going for it...

putting one over on Carmen.

Come on, this will be way more fun than any competition.

THEY CHATTER

SHELF CRASHES, THEY YELP

-Mike, that was a little too close for comfort.

-Yeah.

Oh. Er...

Right, everybody, er... stay where you are.

I'll put it on the list, I'm sorry.

You sure you don't want to call someone?

The only spare money is in the holiday fund,

and I'm not taking anything out of that when I can do it myself.

-I'm on the case.

-Don't worry, I can help, and so can Tony.

No need, girls - me and Mike will sort it.

That's a very kind offer, guys,

but I'm afraid we can't let you handle tools.

Why not? We're not babies.

It's the rules, I'm afraid.

I could, however, give a bit of a masterclass.

You know? Life lessons for later on.

You could follow me round and...pass me stuff.

Anyone else want to sign up?

Er, we have to rehearse.

And Tyler's got to help me with MY choreography.

THEY CHATTER

-You don't...?

-Er, no.

Ah! So, it's the dream team?

Let's do this, minions.

It's a bit like this, and you go like this...

and you put your arm through, and you just, like...

-I think we should do this standing...

-..spin, spin...

-I'm not doing that.

-What was that?

Well, Floss, clearly that was breaking.

Well, it didn't look anything like the video.

MUSIC PLAYS IN HALL

# We were bold and young

# All around the wind blows... #

-Are they watching?

-Yeah.

# Blow a kiss, fire a gun

# Gonna need someone to lean on... #

Now THAT's breaking.

# All we need is somebody to lean on... #

-Mike and I can fix this, no problem.

-We're going to help.

Hey, all right, thank you.

-Right...

-Am I your chief assistant now?

What about us?

-MIKE GROANS

-Well, you're girls.

Hey, Harry, you're getting a bit Stone Age with the comments there.

Boys and girls, just the same.

Right, come on, let's just get on with it.

Let's have a look. Phillips screwdriver, please.

Er, no, it's the, um...

(It's this one.)

Thanks.

# All we need is somebody to lean on... #

Whoa, looking good, Jody.

-There's a big competition coming up and Jody's not entering it.

-Tyler!

OK, well, I'm sure you've got your reasons.

But if you can dance like that, you're mad.

SHE SCOFFS

-Oh, can you turn the music down a bit, please?

-Yep.

Thank you.

MUSIC: Black Magic By Little Mix

It's one, two, three, four, five, six...

No, no, no.

Why can't you keep in time with me?

You actually think that was my fault?

How's it going, girls?

Oh, can you turn it down a bit, please?

-Thank you.

-Hi, May-Li.

It's like the blind leading the blind in here.

MAY-LI LAUGHS

Well, if you did need a bit of help, you can always ask Jody.

She seems really good.

No, no, no, no. Wait... Not that you're not...

-Right.

-..you know...

(It's just a thought.)

Seems a shame when she's not in the competition.

What? Jody's not entering Street Deez?

That's what Tyler said.

It's not working.

Might be the latch.

Good! So how do we fix that?

-Harry?

-"Check to see if it's blocked."

Excellent. Right, pass me that tray there, please, guys.

No, kids, don't fight. Don't fight over the tray... No!

MIKE YELPS

-Harry...

-Stupid box.

No, Harry, leave it, please. There's sharp things in there.

Harry, leave it alone.

You don't need three helpers.

-I've got things to do.

-All right, all right, Harry. It was, um...

It was just in case you weren't busy, that's all.

So...

just the three of us, then?

Right, I'll grab my stuff

and we can go and set up outside Carmen's window.

She knows you're not entering. May-Li just told her.

So maybe it's time you stop playing games and start to get real.

Get real about what?

Now we're back to square one, trying to get her in our group.

Just take a second and imagine how annoying she would be.

I'm sure she'd calm down a bit.

-SHE SCOFFS

-Oh, yeah, very reassuring(!)

-I'm not scared!

-OK, then, it's Carmen.

Yes, I know it's a bit weird putting you two together,

but you get to tell her what to do.

-Say something nice, maybe even apologise.

-What?

-No way.

-For all the rowing and stuff.

-Nuh-uh.

-It can't hurt, can it?

Just get her onside, win Street Deez,

then you can go back to killing each other after.

So what do you say?

Even if you have to beg her - OK, Carmen?

If we don't win this competition,

it's going to be nobody's fault but your own.

Um...Tee thinks...

..that we could do with you in our group.

And what do YOU think, Carmen?

I don't...hate...the idea.

SHE SCOFFS

TYLER CLEARS HIS THROAT

Fine...

let's do it.

HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Last job done. Well done.

So...come on.

What is it with you two, hm?

It's like you've been doing this for years.

We used to do it with our mum.

Billie.

We used to move around a lot.

Yeah, I read that.

These places would always have loads that needed doing -

Mum used to fix them all.

She taught herself.

"Never pay anyone to do anything when you can do it yourself."

She sounds like quite a woman.

She was.

OK.

-Harry, what are you doing?

-They don't need these any more.

-Let me see. Right, right, right.

-MUSIC PLAYS

To the left. Slide.

And then slide back. And then...

And then what I think, personally...

You do that. It's cool, isn't it?

How do I do that again?

Got it?

-MUSIC STOPS

-Seriously, just, like, cool...

-We weren't finished.

-You're never going to get anywhere with that.

It's just what they do online.

You need something new, something original.

Yeah, well, we ain't got time to make up a new a routine.

Do you want to win?

# All the girls on the block knocking at my door!

# Wanna know what it is make the boys want more!

# Is your lover playing on your side... #

OK, ready?

-Slide.

-Slide.

-Soft.

-No, you said we were going that way.

-Yeah.

OK? OK, slide.

Slide.

And now we're going to jump this way.

No, the other way. This way.

This way. And then we're going to jump this way.

-That's what I already did.

-No...

-I did.

# Take a sip of my secret potion

# I can make you fall in love... #

Ready? How about we do a little...?

You've bossed it. So you're out here.

Arm. And down.

# Take a sip of my secret potion

# One taste and you'll be mine

# It's a spell that can't be broken

# It'll keep you up all night

# Boy, you belong to me

# I got the recipe And it's called black magic

# And it's called black magic

# If you're looking

# For Mr Right

# Need that magic

# To change him overnight

# Here's the answer

# Come and get it while you've still got time

# Get your boy on his knees and repeat after me, say

# Take a sip of my secret potion

# I'll make you fall in love... #

-Our costumes. Woohoo!

-You're kidding.

-It's brilliant.

-It's awful.

-Excuse me,

I spent my time making these in between

learning your new dance routines.

I'm sorry, Carmen, but no-one asked you to.

You should have checked with us first.

Well, I checked with Tee, and she likes it. Right, Tee?

Er...

-Well, I said that I'd think about it.

-Hm.

Heart Breakers?

If that's what we're called, then I'm not dancing.

-In that case, I guess you're not dancing with us.

-Fine.

Just me and Tee to start with, and I'm sure we can survive without you.

-I'm not doing it without Jody.

-Oh.

-What? Why?

I did this as your friend, Carmen, OK?

Because it was important to you, and I've actually worked really hard.

Now that we're in with a chance of winning,

you two are going to wreck it because of a stupid name.

-Yeah, no, I quit.

-Tee!

-Well done, Carmen.

-Whoa!

-Tee.

What's up with Tee? It's not like her.

CRASH

Is everything OK?

Yes. Thanks.

-I fixed that.

-Mm-hm.

-I fixed...

OK, let's not worry about the DIY just now. Do I need to speak to Tee?

Mike, the handle came off.

Oh, no. Lou!

If you two never want to enter Street Deez,

just keep doing what you're doing, yeah?

SHE SIGHS

Some teething problems. Where's the tool box? Tool box.

It's downstairs, I'll get it.

Right, I'm here. What is it?

I'm sorry for winding you up.

Me and Jody have stopped arguing now.

AND we've thought of a better name.

Yep, Tri-versity.

-I like it.

-OK. So, can I put you down

on the entry form for Street Deez now?

-OK.

-Yes. OK, here we go.

Click here to enter.

Wait, hang on. "Please inform us of the number

"of seats required for friends and family audience members,

-"and we'll do our best..."

-What audience?

The 500 people coming to watch.

I'm not quite sure it's that many, but, yeah.

I thought it was just judges.

You're not even considering the internet hits.

I mean, this could be millions.

-Jodes, you'll be great.

-Yeah.

MAY-LI: You better get back to it, girls, eh? Very exciting!

Oh, we should organise some sort of dress rehearsal, like for the house,

-you know, tomorrow, in the living room, yeah?

-That'd be great.

Oh, yeah, thanks, May-Li.

Hey, Jody have you heard of the hand spin?

-Er, yeah.

-You know you were saying you wanted to do something different

-with the routine? Why don't you try and fit that in?

-What's a hand spin?

Honestly, it's so cool. I think you could do it.

APPLAUSE

LAUGHTER AND JEERING

SHE GASPS

Tyler. Ty.

HE MUMBLES

HE SCREAMS

-It's the middle of the night!

-I know.

HE SIGHS

Look, I know it's not nerves, but...

..maybe you need some sort of hypnosis or something.

I know!

-RECORDING:

-Think of yourself by a smooth-running stream.

The mountain air is crisp.

There's sunshine, there's warmth and serenity.

Argh!

I can do this, I can do this, I can do this.

-Get out there and do it.

-Yeah, we'll be great.

Right, you ready, Jodes?

Er...

-In the middle.

-OK.

# Ladies all across the world Listen up... #

What are you doing? Jody.

I can't.

BOOING

That's right, just keep breathing.

I'm fine.

Think it's just nerves.

You OK?

Yeah, don't worry, Jody, we all get nervous.

You'll be fine, all right?

Sorry, Carmen.

I can't do it.

You're not kidding.

What are you going to be like in front of the judges?

Ugh...

Great(!)

Tri-versity, with two of us.

I knew this would happen.

I didn't think Jody would get stage fright. Thought she was tough.

She is tough.

Then why doesn't she just get on with it?

I mean, if she's meant to be this brilliant dancer...

Don't you think she wanted to?

OK...

Her mum never told her she was good at anything,

and her brothers would take the mick out of her

if she got something wrong.

Everything has to be perfect.

Oh, poor Jody(!)

Is that what she's going to do for the rest of her life,

run away from something every time she thinks she might fail?

Should have just let her make her own mind up.

Then maybe she wouldn't have panicked.

It's just how she gets when she's stressed out.

SHE SIGHS

Yeah, I feel sorry for her.

Seriously?

Jody...

Why are you just standing there?

Jody!

She's run off in a right huff.

Ah, it's a good thing May-Li isn't here

and Mike's just pretending to fix stuff.

I saw Harry take some tools,

but it's probably nothing.

Harry?

Billie, what have you done?

Nothing.

Billie, someone could have got hurt.

They think Harry did it.

What did I do?

I don't want everything to be about my mum...

..to be about Kingsley or...

It's just like they're still in my head.

You've done pretty well, dealing with it all.

Yeah, well, not today.

Well, they're not here now, are they?

Maybe you should just tell yourself

you're allowed to be good at something.

See what the rest of us see.

You really think I'm good?

Of course.

I know you hate watching yourself...

..but you decide.

You promised you weren't filming.

Yeah.

Sorry about that.

OK, I think that's it.

All repairs and re-repairs done.

I reckon that this place is ship-shape, despite DIY Dan.

Be careful!

CRASH

Oh... It's OK! It's OK, we're all right.

-No, I've had enough of this.

-Bailey...

-No.

-Kazima saw Harry.

-Um, Bailey, just a second.

Um, Billie...

..what did you just say then?

-I did it.

-What?

But you were the ones helping me put everything right, so...

-HARRY:

-I told you it wasn't me.

I'm really sorry, Harry.

Billie, somebody could have been seriously hurt.

What were you thinking?!

Anything else we should know about?

Why do it?

All right, guys, come on, out.

-Make yourself scarce, go on.

-Sorry, mate.

-I'm sorry, Harry.

Billie...

..is this something to do with your mum?

I just didn't want to run out of things to fix.

You made me think about her. I'm sorry.

I miss her.

It's OK. Don't have to be sorry.

You really pushed her, Carms.

It's no wonder she fell apart.

Come off it.

Jody doesn't put herself out there for a reason.

We got her to do it and you just couldn't help yourself, could you?

You had to put her in her place.

-Tee, I'm sorry, she was being a right pain.

-No, she wasn't.

She was just better than you.

Better than both of us and you couldn't stand it.

Look, it's like Jody said,

it's not exactly as if dance was your life, was it?

I just wanted people to think I was good at something.

You know, to be good at one thing.

I just thought that maybe dancing was...

was it.

I'll do the competition.

You two better get ready.

Genius!

OK, thanks, girls.

-Thanks, Mike!

-Bye, now.

-Thanks, guys.

You could have got into big trouble.

But I like fixing stuff and I like talking about Mum.

I thought it upset you.

That's why I didn't do it.

-I know, but I miss her and I like talking about her.

-OK.

I'll stay in with you when you're grounded, we can do it then.

How do you cope with losing your mum when you're that age, eh?

Pretty awesome kids.

Hey.

Ready?

Oh, we're not going, Jodes.

What?

Carmen decided it would be unfair on you.

I thought this was important to you.

Well, maybe I was doing it for the wrong reasons.

And according to Tee, I may have had a tiny little jealousy problem.

Sorry about that.

Yeah, well...

I'll swap you for zero confidence.

Ah, you're all right.

Yeah, but I kind of wanted to dance in front of an audience

without having a heart attack.
