0:00:31 > 0:00:34CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:40 > 0:00:42Thank you. Thanks.

0:00:44 > 0:00:48Issue-based children's theatre has for too long been

0:00:48 > 0:00:52the fat gay red-headed stepchild of the West End family.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Which is an issue I explored in my previous play, Moobs, Lube And Ginger Pubes.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Nominated for this award last year. Didn't win. Fine. Doesn't stop it being an issue.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Who am I going to thank?

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Well, I'd like to thank me, 25 years ago,

0:01:02 > 0:01:05for creating Legz Akimbo Theatre Company.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07And I want to thank all the actors that came

0:01:07 > 0:01:09and went along the way and used me as a stepping stone.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Ollie...- You taught me that I couldn't rely on or trust anyone.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15And if I wanted to be an award-winning writer, director, actor, producer...

0:01:15 > 0:01:16- Ollie...- Let me speak!

0:01:16 > 0:01:18..then I had to do it for myself, which is what I have done.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20- BELL RINGS - Ollie,

0:01:20 > 0:01:21You've got your Year 9s, they're in the hall.

0:01:23 > 0:01:24Sorry.

0:01:25 > 0:01:26Thanks, Carole.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35- FROM LOUD-HAILER: - Save Royston Vasey!

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Our town is under threat.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42Come to the council meeting at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46Free hot water. Tea bags can be purchased.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57Keep Royston Vasey on the map,

0:01:57 > 0:02:00or burn in hell for all eternity.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07Your town needs you. I need you.

0:02:12 > 0:02:13CAT MEOWS

0:02:18 > 0:02:19CAT SCREECHES

0:02:36 > 0:02:41It's time to stand up and be counted!

0:02:41 > 0:02:43- CASUALLY:- Actually, forget it. It's only council scum round here. Drive on.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48WHIMPERING

0:02:48 > 0:02:53For many years we ran a shop much like this one, up on the moors.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57Serving the needs of the local community.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Then people like you came along.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02Upright pigs, teats down, six.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Our shop was destroyed.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07We were driven into the wild,

0:03:07 > 0:03:11walking the fields and hedgerows like beasts of burden.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13We narrowly escaped death

0:03:13 > 0:03:16when a locomotive train missed us by inches.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22And all in the name of progress.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26Well, history will not be repeated!

0:03:26 > 0:03:29THEY WHIMPER

0:03:29 > 0:03:32GRUNTING

0:03:32 > 0:03:34EDWARD LAUGHS

0:03:38 > 0:03:41- I want him out, Al. - I know love.- Out!

0:03:41 > 0:03:42GRANDPOP GASPS

0:03:42 > 0:03:47That is when I fought off all the Somali pirates single handed.

0:03:47 > 0:03:48They were like savages. Troglodytes.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Really?

0:03:50 > 0:03:54Somehow I managed to scramble my way to a desert island.

0:03:54 > 0:03:58There I make a good life for myself. Like the animals in Madagascar.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02But I miss you all very much.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05Very much indeed.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11And I understand why my boy Al tell everyone I am dead.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Is too much for him to have hope in his heart.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17He always soppy. More like a girl than a boy.

0:04:17 > 0:04:21- You know, he used to wear tiny little pants.- Pop.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25I offer him my old long johns, underwear for a man,

0:04:25 > 0:04:28but no, he say, "I want to wear little tiny briefs like the other boys."

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Like little knickers.

0:04:30 > 0:04:31So, how long are you staying?

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Just a few days or months.

0:04:35 > 0:04:36Until I am back on my feet.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40And how nice it will be!

0:04:40 > 0:04:42My son has two beautiful daughters.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Grandpop has been away for too long.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50You look very well, Grandpop.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52You'd think you'd lose weight on a desert island.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54There was a lot of coconuts.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Cheers!

0:05:05 > 0:05:07PHONE RINGS Hello?

0:05:07 > 0:05:08Yeah, Geoff, it's me.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11Who? I don't know how to put names in my phone.

0:05:11 > 0:05:12Mike!

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Are you all set up for tonight?

0:05:14 > 0:05:16What about?

0:05:16 > 0:05:17What we said! Cheryl!

0:05:17 > 0:05:20Yes, I'm dealing with it, don't worry.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24I'm a professional. I was in the SAS for six years.

0:05:24 > 0:05:25What, you mean the TAs?

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Same thing, it's all just putting green on your face, isn't it?

0:05:28 > 0:05:29You will do it...

0:05:31 > 0:05:33..humanely, won't you?

0:05:33 > 0:05:34Of course!

0:05:34 > 0:05:38Now, will you let me get on with it, please? I'd appreciate a bit of trust.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Excuse me, would this kill a fat woman tonight?

0:05:49 > 0:05:52How are we doing, all right?

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Who wants to win a bit of money?

0:05:59 > 0:06:00HE WINCES

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Right, you all got your dabbers?

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Eyes down for a full house.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18ZAP Two fat ladies - 88.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22My friend Cream wouldn't approve of that.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Funny name, I know. He were a Thai lad.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28He said I were... What d'ya call it? Unreconstructed.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Set in me ways. I said, "Of course I am!

0:06:31 > 0:06:35"70-odd with an angry prostate and me waterworks shot, what do you expect?"

0:06:37 > 0:06:39ZAP Out in the sticks - 86.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44ZAP Duck and dive - 25!

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Sweltering, it were. Like Tenko.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56I'd not... Never had anyone close, like.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Not properly.

0:06:58 > 0:07:02ZAP Never been kissed - 26.

0:07:03 > 0:07:07Had a bit of money, though, after Dad went, so I thought, "Why not?"

0:07:07 > 0:07:09You hear about these fellas, don't you?

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Going out to foreign climes, coming back with...

0:07:12 > 0:07:15ZAP Dirty Gertie - number 30!

0:07:15 > 0:07:20I suppose I've always known I fancied something a bit different.

0:07:20 > 0:07:21A bit extra.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23A bit...

0:07:23 > 0:07:25ZAP Danny La Rue - 52.

0:07:26 > 0:07:31There were a bar. Naki-Naki-Nak-Naks.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34All coloured light bulbs, like Peasholm Park.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36But without the miniature sea battles.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39All these lads done up as lasses.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Amazing. Really quite beautiful.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Titties with tassels and everything.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Some of them doing things what it's not nice to talk about.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52Cracking open beer bottles with their whatsits.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54The ones that have, you know, had the op.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58Firing ping-pong balls, some of them.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Reminded me of the old bingo balls, in a funny way, but...

0:08:04 > 0:08:05..I kept me eyes down.

0:08:07 > 0:08:11And suddenly, there he is.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Cream.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16ZAP Me and you - number 2?

0:08:18 > 0:08:20ZAP Cup of tea - number 3.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24I didn't think he were that bothered,

0:08:24 > 0:08:26but when I got back to my hotel room...

0:08:26 > 0:08:29ZAP Knock at the door - 24!

0:08:29 > 0:08:32..turns out he'd followed me back. Cream.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36ZAP Legs - 11.

0:08:39 > 0:08:40Legs... 11.

0:08:43 > 0:08:44Next morning...

0:08:44 > 0:08:45ZAP Rise and shine - 29!

0:08:47 > 0:08:50I asked him to come back. To live with me, back here.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53And he said yes.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55And you know what, for a bit...

0:08:55 > 0:08:57ZAP Tickety-boo - 62.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01ZAP Man alive - number 5.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Then one day Cream said he wanted to go the whole hog.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10You know, have it off - his whatsit.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15ZAP Doctor's orders - number 9.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20He wanted to be what he called "a proper wife" to me.

0:09:23 > 0:09:24So, in he went.

0:09:27 > 0:09:28Then he took bad.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33I don't see why they can't keep hospitals clean.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Never used to be a problem.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39My Auntie Sheila was feared like Himmler on her ward.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Suddenly, one afternoon...

0:09:45 > 0:09:50ZAP Heaven's gate - 78.

0:09:55 > 0:09:56On its own...

0:10:00 > 0:10:01On its own...

0:10:02 > 0:10:04..number one.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06ZAP

0:10:20 > 0:10:22so I want everyone find a partner.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Sir, didn't you used to be an actor?

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- What's that, Jamilla? - Before you were a teacher,

0:10:28 > 0:10:30I swear you used to have a theatre company or something?

0:10:30 > 0:10:34Er, yeah. Back in the mists of time, I did.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37There were three of us - me, Dave, Phil...

0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Phil Proctor?! - Yes, Phil Proctor off the telly.

0:10:40 > 0:10:44We used to visit schools like this and meet kids like you,

0:10:44 > 0:10:48and perform issue-based plays on stages like this...

0:10:48 > 0:10:50PUPILS CHEER

0:10:51 > 0:10:52Wh...?

0:10:55 > 0:10:56What's going on?

0:10:56 > 0:10:57Ask this lot.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00I got a fan letter from one of your students saying

0:11:00 > 0:11:02that their favourite teacher was about to retire,

0:11:02 > 0:11:05could we come and do a special performance.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07So, here we are!

0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Go on, sir!- What? - We want to see you acting!

0:11:10 > 0:11:14ALL CHANT: Sir! Sir! Sir! Sir! Sir!

0:11:23 > 0:11:25So, what are we going to do?

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Well, we thought we'd do one of your best, Ollie.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Perve Swerve - a play about stranger-danger.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32But it's been so long, I need time to prepare.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34I'm ready. CHEERING

0:11:36 > 0:11:40Soon you'll be free, death will end

0:11:40 > 0:11:42We'll pull you back through the great U-bend

0:11:42 > 0:11:45The dead can't hoover, can't sweep a brush

0:11:45 > 0:11:48Or refill a cistern with bright blue flush...

0:11:50 > 0:11:51What...?

0:11:52 > 0:11:55What am I doing down here. Why...?

0:11:55 > 0:11:56Why am I so sleepy?

0:11:56 > 0:11:59The cake you ate last night was laced with

0:11:59 > 0:12:02an extract from the skin of this toad.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04- SISTERS:- Bufo Alvarius.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06It has a psychotropic effect.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10Your consciousness must be fluid for what is to follow.

0:12:11 > 0:12:12What do you mean?

0:12:16 > 0:12:18Uncle Harvey!

0:12:19 > 0:12:22I thought...he was dead.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26A living death.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Preserved at the point of the soul's departure.

0:12:28 > 0:12:33His every bodily fluid replaced with an embalming tincture of his own devising.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37I can't tell you how happy he was, knowing that he was finally

0:12:37 > 0:12:40going to be free of the curse of his own semen.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43But why?

0:12:43 > 0:12:46- SISTERS:- His body might have failed, but he need not.

0:12:46 > 0:12:50We need only a host, Benjamin, and Harvey's soul can live on.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53A host?

0:12:53 > 0:12:54A willing vessel.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56A member of the family.

0:12:56 > 0:12:57An ancient ceremony.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59The girls do love their books.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10What...what are they doing?

0:13:10 > 0:13:13TOAD CROAKS

0:13:13 > 0:13:15No!

0:13:15 > 0:13:17No! Ah!

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Now, tensions are going to be running high,

0:13:32 > 0:13:34so it's important to strike the right tone.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37Don't teach your grandmother how to suck cocks, Murray.

0:13:37 > 0:13:38I'm very good with big crowds.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41On Black Friday I elbowed this lass in the throat,

0:13:41 > 0:13:43got myself a 50-inch Samsung.

0:13:43 > 0:13:44This town's future hangs in the balance.

0:13:44 > 0:13:48There's nothing people care more passionately about than their own community.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52You were saying?

0:13:55 > 0:13:56Come on.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12'That's better!'

0:15:12 > 0:15:15One of the hostages. Works for the Chronicle. It came from her phone.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18'We will not be defeated by your petty meddling.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21'This is a local shop for local people!

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Hi, there!

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Hi, there! My name's Cheesy Host,

0:16:45 > 0:16:48and welcome to another edition of Safe Choices.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50Johnny Smith, your time starts now.

0:16:50 > 0:16:51QUIETLY: Over there.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56Question one - do you know the man you are about to go off with?

0:16:56 > 0:16:57- No.- Correct.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Does he have any identification, such as a current utility bill?

0:16:59 > 0:17:00- No!- Correct.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Is he wearing nice shoes or other signs he isn't a deviant?

0:17:03 > 0:17:04- No!- Correct.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06And here's your big money choice. Take your time.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Do you want to go off with the stranger,

0:17:08 > 0:17:10or stay safe in the studio? It's up to you.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12I'll stay safe, innit?

0:17:12 > 0:17:15Is the correct answer! What's he won, Susie?

0:17:16 > 0:17:20He's won a lifetime's supply of common sense!

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Would you like to come back to my dressing room

0:17:22 > 0:17:24- and I'll give you an autograph. - Yes, please!

0:17:24 > 0:17:25Stop!

0:17:25 > 0:17:30Just because he's well dressed and plausible doesn't mean to say he isn't a dangerous predator also.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Come with me, son, I'll take you home.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Thanks, Dad. I'll try and make better choices in future.

0:17:36 > 0:17:37Stop!

0:17:37 > 0:17:41Didn't you know that 75% of all sexual predators are family members?

0:17:41 > 0:17:44Oh, no! Rewind!

0:17:44 > 0:17:46ALL MIMIC REWINDING NOISES

0:17:48 > 0:17:51- SLOW RAP BEAT - # I won't go with the man In the dirty mac

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Or the man in the suit With his hair slicked back

0:17:54 > 0:17:56# Put a lock on your door So your dad can't get in

0:17:56 > 0:17:58# Is your grandad's coming round? I wouldn't trust him

0:17:58 > 0:18:01# If you want to stay safe And have a bright future

0:18:01 > 0:18:03# Make friends in a chatroom On a computer. #

0:18:03 > 0:18:05ALL: Boom!

0:18:06 > 0:18:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:18:10 > 0:18:14CHANTING: Sir! Sir! Sir! Sir! Sir! Sir! Sir!

0:18:14 > 0:18:15God, I've missed this.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Why don't we get back on the road again? Reform Legz Akimbo.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19- What do you mean? - Think about it.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22There are so many new issues to do plays about now.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Exactly! And I've never stopped writing them!

0:18:24 > 0:18:27Suck It And See - a play about revenge porn. Slit Face - a play about burqas.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30It's all there, ready to roll out. It's what I've been waiting for!

0:18:30 > 0:18:32- Ollie...- All these years, wasted in this dead end job.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34- Ollie...- It's like I've finally woken up.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38Oh, hang on.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40This is still a dream, isn't it?

0:18:45 > 0:18:47- DISTANT VOICE:- Ollie!

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Oh, no. BELL RINGS

0:18:49 > 0:18:51You've got your Year 9s. They're in the hall.

0:18:51 > 0:18:52Sorry.

0:18:54 > 0:18:55Thanks, Carole.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00PUPILS CHATTER

0:19:15 > 0:19:16OK, Year 9, settle down.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19Fuck off, you sad wanker!

0:19:24 > 0:19:25Great.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04- All right, Geoff? - All right?

0:20:04 > 0:20:07- See you down Palatine later? - Yeah, maybe.

0:20:08 > 0:20:09Fuck's sake.

0:20:16 > 0:20:17Oof!

0:21:26 > 0:21:27HE MUTTERS: Matter with it?

0:21:35 > 0:21:37- KNOCK AT WINDOW - Geoff!- Shit.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Just wondering if you want me to get you that pint in?

0:21:43 > 0:21:46- Nah, you're all right, Eddie. - Sure?

0:21:46 > 0:21:49- Yeah. - See you later, then.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51See you later.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28DOOR CREAKS

0:22:30 > 0:22:32HE WHISPERS: WD-40 on that.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42So, when did you get released, then, Pop?

0:22:42 > 0:22:45I get time off for good behaviour.

0:22:45 > 0:22:4821 years. Ridiculous! For a lousy pyramid scheme.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50You killed a man with your bare hands.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53Yeah - for not paying what he owed under the pyramid scheme.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55What do you want here?

0:22:59 > 0:23:01I need you to tell me where Richie is.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05- No.- I know what he is doing.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07It was 15 years ago, let it go, Pop.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09He is still my son.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11I won't do it!

0:23:12 > 0:23:14- Good night, Grandpop. - Good night, Grandpop.

0:23:14 > 0:23:18Hey, girls, I almost forgot. I got presents for the both of yous.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22HE CHUCKLES

0:23:22 > 0:23:24And for you, Maisie...

0:23:24 > 0:23:25See?

0:23:27 > 0:23:28Beautiful!

0:23:29 > 0:23:32Perhaps tomorrow you would like me to take you swimming, eh?

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Unless of course your daddy has other plans for me?

0:23:42 > 0:23:43Good.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46Come inside, it's cold.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49Who wants to get some piercings done, eh?

0:23:49 > 0:23:51- HE CHUCKLES - Grandpop will pay.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Are you watching your cats?

0:23:58 > 0:24:01No, some nutters have taken hostages, apparently.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06'The couple who are holding them are a local couple...'

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Eh, look at them - bloody rubber-neckers.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11Where were they this afternoon when we needed them?

0:24:11 > 0:24:13But they're there now, Murray.

0:24:15 > 0:24:16They're there now.

0:24:17 > 0:24:18A gift from God.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26Geoff?

0:24:26 > 0:24:30The purple mongoose has vacated its habitat.

0:24:30 > 0:24:31What?

0:24:32 > 0:24:36The...hippopotamus is...

0:24:36 > 0:24:38dead. She's dead, I've smothered her.

0:24:38 > 0:24:39Oh, God.

0:24:41 > 0:24:42Did she suffer?

0:24:42 > 0:24:45Well, as much as anyone does if they're being murdered.

0:24:45 > 0:24:46It wasn't murder!

0:24:48 > 0:24:50It was a mercy killing.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53- She had no life. - Yeah, you explained all that.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56She won't suffer any more, and neither will you.

0:24:56 > 0:25:00Thank you, Geoff. And it will look like natural causes?

0:25:00 > 0:25:02No, I left the cushion stuffed in her mouth!

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Credit me with some sense, Mike. I'm not an idiot.

0:25:05 > 0:25:06Sorry.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09I have to say, though, she didn't seem as big as you made out.

0:25:09 > 0:25:10What do you mean?

0:25:10 > 0:25:14Well, I felt a bit bad. I mean, she was only what I'd call plump.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17She could have easily got up and down them stairs if she'd wanted to.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19What stairs, we live in a bungalow!

0:25:20 > 0:25:22Eh?

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Geoff, you do know we moved four years ago?

0:25:28 > 0:25:31Yeah, you see, what's happened here is,

0:25:31 > 0:25:33I've gone to the wrong house.

0:25:33 > 0:25:34I sent you an e-mail!

0:25:34 > 0:25:37Well, I can't open them, can I? I've only got Windows '95!

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Geoff, what have you done?

0:25:41 > 0:25:43You know who we sold that house to, don't you?

0:25:43 > 0:25:45No, who?

0:25:53 > 0:25:56Pauline, I'm home!

0:26:13 > 0:26:15Pauline!

0:26:17 > 0:26:19Pauline?

0:26:23 > 0:26:25Pauline!

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Pauline!

0:26:32 > 0:26:34- HE WHIMPERS:- Pauline!

0:26:44 > 0:26:48The citizens of Royston Vasey do care about their town, passionately.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51And when pushed too far they will resort to extreme measures,

0:26:51 > 0:26:55like that film about the girl who couldn't afford Tampax. What was it, Murray?

0:26:55 > 0:26:58- I, Daniel Blake. - I, Daniel Blake, exactly.

0:26:58 > 0:26:59Look, Edward!

0:27:00 > 0:27:02We oppose these boundary changes

0:27:02 > 0:27:05and we demand action, don't we, folks?

0:27:05 > 0:27:07ALL: Yeah! Action!

0:27:07 > 0:27:08- QUIETLY:- Fucking sheep.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10TUBBS: They must have heard there's a sale on.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21- We pass you to him. - We pass him to you.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23- We pass you to him. - We pass him to you.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25This is madness.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27Madness!

0:27:27 > 0:27:29- We pass you to him. - We pass him to you.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31- We pass you to him. - We pass him to you.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33- We pass you to him. - We pass him to you.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35No.

0:27:35 > 0:27:36No!

0:27:42 > 0:27:44HE GASPS

0:27:44 > 0:27:45We pass him...

0:27:50 > 0:27:51Benjamin?

0:27:54 > 0:27:57HE GASPS

0:27:57 > 0:28:00- AS HARVEY:- In this house, we don't die.
