# All my dreams'll see me through

How can all your clothes be dirty?

0:00:190:00:22

You have to take more responsibility when you move out.

0:00:220:00:26

You can't walk round in no trousers!

0:00:260:00:28

Responsibility - yippee! Next stop, a dull job,

0:00:280:00:32

then a dull wedding, dull kids. You'll be old and dull in no time.

0:00:320:00:36

-Just like these two.

-I won't!

0:00:360:00:39

-In the halfway house, I live by MY rules.

-Pffff(!)

0:00:390:00:43

At Karen's, they vote on rules, everything. Democracy, she calls it.

0:00:430:00:48

Having a say is positive. It reaches our inner selves.

0:00:480:00:52

You'll give them the vote next(!)

0:00:520:00:55

-Why not?

-Yeah, why not?

0:00:550:00:59

-Elaine, you are a genius!

-Oh...well...

0:00:590:01:02

-I wouldn't say that.

-Such vision!

0:01:020:01:05

I can see the bestseller - Elaine, Democracy And The Inner Self.

0:01:050:01:10

Bestseller?

0:01:120:01:14

Better start now before someone steals the idea.

0:01:280:01:31

Better had!

0:01:310:01:33

-ARGUING VOICES UPSTAIRS

-Now what?

0:01:350:01:38

Only asked for some trousers!

0:01:400:01:43

So...voting gives you...

0:01:430:01:46

all kinds of grown-up responsibilities.

0:01:460:01:50

-What do you think?

-Brilliant, Elaine.

0:01:500:01:54

-Can we vote on anything?

-Absolutely!

0:01:540:01:57

Anything! Just propose it.

0:01:570:02:00

OK, I propose there are no rules. Vote!

0:02:000:02:05

-Um... No, I don't think...

-That's that! Passed unanimously!

0:02:050:02:10

ALL: YES! APPLAUSE

0:02:100:02:12

No...hang on...wait!

0:02:120:02:15

That woman! That girl! This place!

0:02:170:02:22

Why are you wearing a suit?

0:02:250:02:27

An interview?

0:02:310:02:33

Why on earth would you want another job?

0:02:330:02:36

More money, less work.

0:02:360:02:39

As if I haven't got enough problems!

0:02:390:02:43

No!

0:02:560:02:59

Oh, one other thing...

0:03:020:03:05

-Could you do me a written reference?

-Ha!

0:03:050:03:08

-Hi, Duke, where you off to? Getting married?

-Married?!

0:03:290:03:34

Who'd want to marry him?!

0:03:340:03:37

I'd marry you, Duke!

0:03:460:03:49

Hey, what are you two up to?

0:03:550:03:58

Hello, I'd like a temp cook for a week, please.

0:03:580:04:03

What about a day? Half a day?

0:04:040:04:08

An hour? Hello?

0:04:080:04:11

So, how's the brilliant idea coming along?

0:04:130:04:16

M-Marvellous... Everything's...um...

0:04:160:04:21

-You know...

-Great! You can make the lunches then.

0:04:210:04:25

I'd like to but... I have to observe.

0:04:250:04:29

-Take notes. Can't Duke do it?

-No.

0:04:290:04:32

-He's been head-hunted.

-Oh!

0:04:320:04:35

So Mr Smart really DOES listen to my suggestions!

0:04:350:04:39

You recommended him for another job?

0:04:390:04:43

Brilliant, isn't it!

0:04:430:04:46

-So, if there's no rules, when do we eat?

-When WE say so.

0:04:510:04:57

-We could if there was anything!

-Someone's nicked it!

-Who'd do that?

0:05:000:05:05

-Boys.

-They're all the same.

-Yeah, greedy and selfish.

0:05:050:05:10

Hey, that's sexist!

0:05:100:05:12

You girls have a serious attitude problem.

0:05:120:05:15

I'll give him attitude!

0:05:180:05:21

-They think they run this place!

-Girls - typical!

0:05:250:05:28

I suppose we could share with them. NO(!)

0:05:280:05:32

Let's get cooking!

0:05:350:05:37

Looks like we're just in time! Two eggs, please.

0:05:370:05:41

-In your dreams!

-We're hungry!

0:05:410:05:44

-Here you go! Enjoy!

-Hang on!

0:05:440:05:48

-There has to be a solution.

-Yeah, we'll fight you for it.

0:05:480:05:53

-OK, game on!

-OK, leave them alone, come on.

0:05:530:05:56

-We could wipe this bunch anytime.

-I said let's go!

0:05:560:06:01

-Yeah, go on, run off!

-Yeah, you bunch of girls!

0:06:010:06:05

Bunch of girls? With Tracy Beaker?

0:06:070:06:11

Seems quiet after the care home.

0:06:110:06:14

This is where the real care work's done. You can make a difference.

0:06:140:06:20

It might take time getting used to working in an office.

0:06:200:06:24

You mean... one like this?

0:06:240:06:28

This would be your office, pot plant and all.

0:06:280:06:33

As far as I'm concerned, the job's yours.

0:06:520:06:55

All I need is a written reference. You do have one, don't you?

0:06:550:07:01

Dear me!

0:07:210:07:24

I've never read a reference like that before.

0:07:240:07:27

-Oh well, nice to have met you.

-He thinks the world of you.

0:07:270:07:33

You must make quite a team!

0:07:330:07:37

When can you start? Do you have your National Insurance forms?

0:07:370:07:42

Um...er...sorry.

0:07:420:07:46

-I'll post them on.

-No, I want to fast-track this.

0:07:460:07:50

I'll pick them up in the morning. Welcome aboard!

0:07:500:07:55

Yeah, what are they gonna do?

0:07:560:07:59

Exactly. We'll stuff ourselves, then veg in front of the TV.

0:07:590:08:03

-Oh no! She wouldn't!

-They haven't!

0:08:030:08:07

-Looking for this!

-Give us that!

0:08:070:08:10

Wait! Wait! Wait!

0:08:130:08:15

I think you need to discuss this.

0:08:150:08:18

-Hello?!

-How's the meal, boys(?)

0:08:180:08:21

-Give 'em back!

-Fight you for 'em!

-Forget vegging!

-You can't do this!

0:08:210:08:26

You can only get one channel without the remote - wildlife!

0:08:260:08:30

And don't even bother trying to use the toilets!

0:08:300:08:33

-Hmmm.

-SHOUTING IN BACKGROUND

0:08:370:08:42

SHOUTING CONTINUES

0:08:450:08:48

-Discipline holding up?

-Pretty much. Great research for my bestseller!

0:08:480:08:54

Don't worry, everything's under control.

0:08:540:08:58

LOUDER SHOUTING

0:08:580:09:00

Good luck.

0:09:020:09:05

This is better, talking. You must admit it got silly.

0:09:070:09:11

-Not very grown-up, is it?

-No.

0:09:110:09:15

-Grown-ups would have had strikes.

-Riots.

-Wars.

-Anyway,

0:09:150:09:20

it's time to negotiate.

0:09:200:09:23

-How about a compromise? Good idea.

-Yeah.

0:09:230:09:27

You can have half the food IF you cook all the meals.

0:09:270:09:32

-You bog off!

-This is war, Beaker!

0:09:320:09:35

Suits us!

0:09:350:09:38

THE BOYS SHOUT Aaaaaaargh!

0:09:480:09:52

-False alarm!

-It's only her.

0:09:520:09:54

-It's way past your bedtime!

-What bedtime?

-Yeah?

0:09:540:09:58

No rules, no bedtime. ALL: Yeah!

0:09:580:10:02

SNORING

0:10:040:10:06

-Quiet! I'm trying to get to sleep! I'm tired.

-I'm tired AND hungry.

0:10:130:10:18

-What do you suggest? We give in?

-No, we should attack!

0:10:180:10:23

When the time is right.

0:10:230:10:25

-How's things?

-Fine.

0:10:330:10:37

S'pose you think when you go away everything falls to pieces?

0:10:370:10:41

No, I just thought...

0:10:410:10:44

Yeah, the fridge is empty, everyone's starving,

0:10:440:10:48

the kids have become wild animals.

0:10:480:10:50

But apart from that, everything's normal.

0:10:500:10:54

-No!

-But I'm so hungry!

0:11:210:11:25

You're hungry?! I'm so empty!

0:11:250:11:28

-I could eat a horse.

-NEIGHING

0:11:300:11:34

-I'll take these and go.

-Meet the kids first.

0:11:350:11:38

I'd love to but...busy, busy!

0:11:380:11:43

You must be able to find some common ground.

0:11:450:11:49

A like you share. A dislike then.

0:11:490:11:52

Surely something here makes you go mad!

0:11:520:11:56

-Now you mention it...

-There is.

-Right!

0:11:560:11:59

So...why don't you... resolve your differences and unite?

0:11:590:12:05

-Sounds good to me.

-I'm up for that.

0:12:050:12:08

Great! Come on then!

0:12:080:12:12

-Let it all out!

-OK, if you say so.

0:12:120:12:16

CHAAAAAARGE!

0:12:160:12:19

THEY ALL SHOUT AT ONCE

0:12:190:12:21

-Off already?

-Just typing up my notes. All going brilliant-ish.

0:12:240:12:28

Save yourself! Get out of here!

0:12:280:12:32

SHOUTING CONTINUES

0:12:320:12:34

Duke! Let's get out of this dump!

0:12:450:12:48

-They're animals!

-Actually, they're not!

0:12:480:12:52

They're kids who need care. That's why it's called a "care home".

0:12:520:12:58

But you've forgotten that with your office and pot plants.

0:12:580:13:02

Goodbye. Who needs an office when you've got all this?

0:13:020:13:08

SHOUTING CONTINUES, DUKE SHOUTS

0:13:080:13:12

RIIIIIIIIGHT, YOU LOT!

0:13:130:13:16

I've just got one word to say to you -

0:13:160:13:21

PIZZA!

0:13:210:13:23

EVERYONE CHEERS

0:13:230:13:26

# I can make my world come true

0:13:290:13:32

# All my dreams'll see me through

0:13:320:13:34

# And this life won't get me down

0:13:340:13:37

# My dreams'll turn things all around

0:13:370:13:39

# Every smile upon my face

0:13:390:13:41

# I can see a better place

0:13:410:13:43

# Doesn't matter what may come my way

0:13:430:13:46

# Believe me now I will win someday. #
