Love Hurts Ask Lara

.

TANNOY: 'Flight 315C ready for departure.'

And your assignment is to record a video diary

that will show what your day-to-day life is like here...

..and instead there's a monkey peeling a banana!

THEY GIGGLE

Tony, that's the worst joke I've heard in my life.

I liked it. You're funny, Tony.

Huh...

GULP!

VOICE ECHOES: Hey! Tony!

Tony!

-Planet Earth to Tony.

-Huh?

Tony, are you OK?

Never better.

Hmm!

My mum and dad would love to know what I get up to here.

I don't know about mine.

They always ask the same thing - what's the weather like?

I don't see why they're so obsessed about the weather.

Tony, what do you reckon?

TONY SIGHS

-Tony?

-Huh?

You, me and Deon, doing the video diary together.

Er... Yeah, Gabriel.

Video... Cool.

-Something's definitely up with you.

-I've met the girl of my dreams!

Who?! Who?!

Ahhh. Brenda.

I'm in love!

Until the next girl you happen to bump into.

No, Brenda's the one.

How romantic!

Now, THAT was weird.

He's like a different person.

First question - how do you think you'll feel when you fall in love?

A - I'll lose my appetite

and spend all my time daydreaming about the person I'm in love with.

B - I'll stay calm, tell my friends about it

and try to carry on as usual.

Or C - forget it. Falling in love's for losers, and that's not me.

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

This is for you, Brenda, my love.

This is the cafe, where we often come after class.

ALL: Hello.

Now, let's get our order in.

Quatro zumos de naranja

y unas patatas bragas, por favor.

LAUGHTER

You asked for patatas bragas!

It's bravas!

Bragas means knickers!

But how did I look? Does the camera love me?!

Oh, it worships you, like Tony worships Brenda.

I bet he's forgotten all about her by now.

I hope so.

This zombie Tony's kind of weird.

Where is he anyway?

COMPUTER BLEEPS

Absolutely perfect.

And now, send!

There you are, Brenda. Tomorrow's going to be a great day.

Hey, Tony.

-How's it going?

-Excellent!

Did you start your video diary? Ours is really good so far.

SHE TURNS COMPUTER ON

-SHE GASPS

-'This is for you, Brenda, my love.'

SHE GASPS

# Oh, Brenda, Brenda

# I keep calling out your name

# Things will never be the same

-SHE GASPS

-# I just don't know what to do

-MULTIPLIED MANY TIMES:

-# But I know that you're the one

-# Because when I look at you

-LAUGHTER

# I melt like butter in the sun! #

SHE GASPS

-LAUGHTER

-Yeahhhhh!

Tony, what have you done? You've sent it to the whole class!

What?! No!

LAUGHTER CONTINUES

What did you do that for?

-You're an idiot. "Butter"!

-Brenda! Brenda!

Leave me alone!

HE GASPS

She used to think I was funny. Now she thinks I'm an idiot.

Well, Tony, sending that mail to the whole class...

-But I didn't mean to!

-And that video you made? It was a bit OTT, mate.

You can't blame her for being embarrassed.

Are you saying I've... I've lost her for ever?

Maybe not for ever, but it doesn't look good, Tony.

It's OK. You'll meet another girl, you'll see.

No. She's right - I am an idiot.

And if I can't have Brenda, I don't want to be with anyone.

I'd rather be alone for the rest of my life!

Second question.

How would you feel if the girl or boy you liked turned you down?

A - I'd be so heartbroken and depressed

that nothing would ever make it better!

HE SOBS

B - I'd be sad,

but I know my friends would help me get over it.

C - I've already told you! You won't catch ME falling in love!

And these are the girls' toilets, which, as you can see,

are quite a bit cleaner than the boys' toilets.

-SNIFFLING

-Brenda? Are you OK?

Of course I'm not OK. I feel terrible.

Tony made me look ridiculous in front of the whole class.

And that video? It was so awful.

Yeah. He wanted to do something nice, but...

Tony's got a knack for jumping in feet-first without thinking.

He's really upset, too. He's mad about you.

Well, he's got a funny way of showing it.

-Yeah, he got it a bit wrong.

-Not just a bit. He totally messed up!

Hey, Tony, ready to record our video diary?

Totally.

-Are you sure you're OK?

-I'm fine.

I accept that Brenda doesn't want anything to do with me.

A girl like her would never go out with a boy like me anyway.

Come on, Tony. It's not that bad.

You just picked the wrong way to tell her how you feel.

Hey, no problem! I'm fine.

Really, let's do it.

Hi. This is the room I share with Tony.

-We've had some great times in here, haven't we, Tony?

-Yes.

-Especially before I met Brenda.

-Yeah...right.

Well, this is where we sleep. This is the computer we work on.

The one I used to send the video to Brenda, and the rest of the class,

telling her I loved her, which was the stupidest mistake of my life!

Although I'm completely over it.

-TEARFULLY:

-Can you cut for a second, please?

TONY HOWLS

I don't think he's over it at all, is he?

-OK, where were we?

-Hi.

-Hi. What are you doing here?

We recorded something in the girls' toilets which you have to see.

Ugh! Why would we want to see something in the girls' toilets?

Watch this. You'll understand.

-BRENDA:

-'I just... I felt so stupid,

in front of the whole class.

'I've never been so embarrassed in my life.'

See? We knew you'd want to see it.

'You're saying...he didn't mean to upset me, and he's upset, too?

'I don't know whether to believe you.'

-Maybe you should tell her yourself, Tony.

-Um...

-Go on, Tony. You'll get it right this time.

-I'll try.

-Hi, Brenda.

-Hi.

Erm...could I talk to you a minute?

That depends.

Did you bring a megaphone so the whole school can hear you?

Yeah...I'm really sorry.

I only meant to send the video to you.

And I thought you'd like it. But...

Ohhh...

That song and dance routine must have taken some thought.

Hm! Not enough, though.

-Listen, I'm sorry, too.

-What for?!

For calling you an idiot. I was just embarrassed.

No wonder.

"Melt like butter in the sun?" Ohhhh!

SHE GIGGLES

-You do make me laugh, Tony.

-HE LAUGHS

-You should have heard the other verse.

-Er...maybe not.

But...you can tell me a joke sometime, if you know any more.

Great. Yeah!

I know tonnes!

-Yes!

-Yeah!

I think we've got a fantastic scene for the video diary.

Third question. How would you let someone know you like them?

A - I'd kneel down and declare eternal love

with a string quartet playing behind me.

B - I'd try to find a good time to tell them how I feel.

C - I'll never be in that situation!

How many times do I have to tell you? I won't fall in love!

Here, give me that! If you answered mostly A,

you're in danger of being swept away by your feelings.

Things don't always turn out the way you want

and getting carried away usually makes it worse.

If you answered mostly B, you know that feelings can be confusing,

but that talking to your friends

can help you survive these emotional rollercoasters.

And, if you answered mostly C, it's no use.

You can't run away from your feelings for ever.

Falling in love's natural and it happens to everyone

whether you like it or not.

Your answers were all A, right, Tony?

-SHE LAUGHS

-What do you mean?

There were no violins in my video!

THEY LAUGH
