TANNOY: Flight 315C ready for departure.

0:56:050:56:08

Come on. You're a dog. You're supposed to like walks.

0:56:530:56:58

-Have I missed it? Where is she?

-Mmm.

0:56:590:57:02

Ready?

0:57:040:57:06

Steady?

0:57:060:57:08

Whooaaah!

0:57:080:57:10

Woo!

0:57:110:57:12

-Whoa!

-Yay!

0:57:120:57:14

-That's so cool! Wow!

-Look how good she is!

0:57:140:57:16

I did it! I did it!

0:57:160:57:18

I saw you! Awesome!

0:57:180:57:20

This is Jackie.

0:57:200:57:21

-Lara.

-Hey, Jackie.

0:57:210:57:23

-Monica.

-Hello.

-Hi.

-And Lola!

0:57:230:57:25

Hi.

0:57:260:57:27

Senoritas.

0:57:270:57:29

Hey, Lara,

0:57:300:57:31

you're supposed to ride it, not wear it.

0:57:310:57:34

After you, ladies.

0:57:360:57:37

SHE SIGHS

0:57:370:57:39

Whoa-oh!

0:57:400:57:41

-You can do it! Go on!

-Woo!

0:57:440:57:46

Whoa! Sick!

0:57:460:57:48

That's gnarly, man.

0:57:480:57:50

Whoa...

0:57:540:57:55

Oh!

0:57:550:57:56

Woo! Yeah!

0:57:580:58:01

He's cute.

0:58:040:58:06

-Woo-hoo!

-Yay!

0:58:060:58:08

Hey! High-five!

0:58:080:58:10

She's awesome!

0:58:100:58:13

He's cute, too.

0:58:130:58:15

Urgh! Maybe not.

0:58:160:58:19

Ooh!

0:58:190:58:20

He's definitely the cutest.

0:58:200:58:23

What do you think?

0:58:230:58:24

Lara?

0:58:240:58:26

Lara!

0:58:260:58:27

-Aaagh!

-Aah!

0:58:270:58:29

-Woo!

-Hey, Lara.

0:58:290:58:32

I didn't know you could...

0:58:320:58:33

I can't! Help me!

0:58:330:58:36

Look out! Jump, Lara, Jump!

0:58:360:58:38

Aaagh!

0:58:380:58:40

Lara! Oh, no!

0:58:410:58:43

It's OK. Take it easy.

0:58:450:58:46

Wha...what happened?

0:58:470:58:50

You just bit off more than you can chew. You OK now?

0:58:500:58:53

I should get off, before I kill someone. Like me, for example.

0:58:530:58:57

No way! You know what they say.

0:58:570:59:00

When you fall off a horse, get back in the saddle pronto.

0:59:000:59:03

So, lesson number one.

0:59:030:59:05

How to stop your skateboard.

0:59:050:59:07

It's about balance.

0:59:070:59:08

Don't fight the board.

0:59:080:59:11

That's it.

0:59:120:59:14

I did it!

0:59:140:59:15

Yeah, Lara, that's it.

0:59:150:59:16

First question -

0:59:190:59:20

are the people you admire...

0:59:200:59:22

A - people just like you?

0:59:220:59:25

B - I prefer to keep that information to myself.

0:59:250:59:29

They might be uncool.

0:59:290:59:30

Or C - anyone who cares about stuff.

0:59:300:59:34

It could be skateboarding or saving the whales.

0:59:340:59:37

As long as they do it well, you think they're cool.

0:59:370:59:40

It's called a pop shove-it.

0:59:420:59:43

I'll show you properly tomorrow if you like.

0:59:430:59:46

Ladies!

0:59:460:59:47

Neat out-of-control trick you did, Lara.

0:59:490:59:53

You'll need to show me that one again sometime.

0:59:530:59:56

You did good. More practice tomorrow, right?

1:00:001:00:04

You've got her number, right?

1:00:041:00:06

Hey! Wait for me!

1:00:071:00:09

He fancies her.

1:00:101:00:11

Yeah, well, he won't get very far.

1:00:111:00:14

Why not?

1:00:141:00:15

Oh, nothing.

1:00:151:00:17

Has she got a boyfriend?

1:00:171:00:19

You can tell us. We're your friends.

1:00:191:00:21

-So's Jackie.

-Hmm?

1:00:211:00:24

SHE YAWNS

1:00:281:00:30

ALARM CLOCK RINGS

1:00:421:00:44

Mmm. What?

1:00:441:00:46

Oh, yes! The skate park!

1:00:461:00:48

I wonder if Jackie's there yet.

1:00:481:00:51

Lola, come on!

1:00:511:00:53

What's HE doing here?

1:00:591:01:01

-And I did this really bangin' bare front foot catch pop shove...

-Whoa!

1:01:011:01:06

Haven't found the brakes yet, huh?

1:01:091:01:12

Never mind. I got to go.

1:01:121:01:15

Later, babes.

1:01:151:01:17

Don't let him get to you.

1:01:191:01:20

He's just scared.

1:01:201:01:21

Max? Scared? Of what?

1:01:211:01:24

-Looking stupid.

-Yeah, right.

1:01:241:01:27

He can't actually skate.

1:01:301:01:31

Nor can I, but I don't go around making other people feel stupid.

1:01:311:01:36

I'm not defending him.

1:01:361:01:37

I'm just saying, he teases you to cover up his fear.

1:01:371:01:40

How do you figure that out? Do you do psychology or something?

1:01:401:01:45

Hmm... Personal experience.

1:01:451:01:47

If I tell you something, you can't tell anyone, OK?

1:01:471:01:51

OK.

1:01:511:01:52

I know about being teased.

1:01:521:01:54

It's happened to me a lot, because I'm gay.

1:01:541:01:56

I, uh...

1:01:561:01:58

I didn't know.

1:01:581:02:00

Not many people do. Akira knows. That's about it round here.

1:02:001:02:04

Is it a secret?

1:02:041:02:06

Not really, but I don't want to always be "the gay girl"

1:02:061:02:10

-and I don't want to have to explain myself all the time.

-Sorry.

1:02:101:02:14

I don't mean to friends

1:02:141:02:15

but I can do without being quizzed by complete strangers all the time

1:02:151:02:19

about when I first knew I was gay.

1:02:191:02:21

And some people are homophobic.

1:02:211:02:23

Homa...homo-what?

1:02:231:02:25

Homophobic. They're mean to someone because they're gay.

1:02:251:02:29

People are mean to you?

1:02:291:02:30

Some. So I know how you feel about Max

1:02:301:02:33

but you're the skater, not him.

1:02:331:02:35

I am?

1:02:351:02:38

Have you ever actually seen him skate?

1:02:381:02:40

Uh...no.

1:02:401:02:42

See? So, come on, skater girl.

1:02:421:02:45

Show me what you got!

1:02:451:02:46

-Yee-ha!

-Yee-ha!

1:02:461:02:49

'Jackie's so cool. I wish I was like her.

1:02:501:02:54

'Oh! Oh!

1:02:541:02:56

'What if I am like her?

1:02:561:02:58

'I mean...she's gay!'

1:02:581:03:01

GIRLS WHISPER AND LAUGH

1:03:081:03:10

Second question -

1:03:131:03:14

if someone you like turned out to be gay, would you...

1:03:141:03:18

A - stop being their friend?

1:03:181:03:21

That's it, curtains.

1:03:211:03:23

B - be friends

1:03:231:03:25

but make sure you're never alone together

1:03:251:03:28

so no-one gets the wrong idea?

1:03:281:03:30

C - go on as before?

1:03:301:03:32

You don't mind who they fancy

1:03:321:03:35

as long as it's not someone you fancy too!

1:03:351:03:38

Now, that would be a problem.

1:03:381:03:40

Akira, if I like a gay girl,

1:03:421:03:45

-does that mean I'm gay?

-How do you mean?

1:03:451:03:48

Last night, I dreamt about Jackie.

1:03:481:03:51

And last night, I dreamt about Tony.

1:03:511:03:53

Does that mean I'm in love with him?

1:03:531:03:56

Do you think if I hang out with her, people might think I'm gay too?

1:03:571:04:01

No!

1:04:011:04:02

'Are they staring at me?'

1:04:041:04:07

PHONE BEEPS

1:04:091:04:11

-Oh!

-What's up?

-It's from Jackie.

1:04:111:04:13

-She wants to meet after school.

-And?

1:04:131:04:16

"I need to ask you something."

1:04:161:04:20

Oh, no! What if she wants to ask me out?

1:04:201:04:23

Why do you assume that's what she wants? Because she's gay?

1:04:231:04:26

I don't know. It's just,

1:04:261:04:28

I like her, but not like that.

1:04:281:04:31

But I can't say that.

1:04:311:04:32

What she thinks I'm homopho...

1:04:321:04:34

homopho...

1:04:341:04:36

mean to gay people?

1:04:361:04:38

I know. I'll say I have homework.

1:04:381:04:41

Look, it's up to you.

1:04:411:04:43

But she hasn't suddenly grown a third head.

1:04:431:04:46

Maybe you should meet her and see what she wants.

1:04:461:04:49

Woo!

1:04:541:04:55

Hi! I wanted to ask you...

1:04:551:04:58

Before you say anything, I need you to know,

1:04:581:05:01

it's not that I don't like you.

1:05:011:05:04

I do, but don't like...

1:05:041:05:05

I mean, I don't dislike...

1:05:051:05:08

I'm not gay.

1:05:081:05:10

Can we just be friends?

1:05:101:05:11

What?

1:05:111:05:12

I wasn't going to ask you out.

1:05:121:05:14

Oh. Uh...

1:05:141:05:16

Um... I...

1:05:161:05:18

I'm so sorry. I feel awful. I'm...

1:05:181:05:22

It's all right.

1:05:221:05:23

It's no big deal. Honest.

1:05:231:05:25

What I was going to ask was,

1:05:251:05:27

do you want to stop Max teasing you?

1:05:271:05:29

I've had an idea.

1:05:311:05:33

OK, here's what we going to do.

1:05:331:05:35

SHE WHISPERS

1:05:351:05:36

He's coming!

1:05:401:05:42

I can't do it! I know I'll fall.

1:05:421:05:46

It's easy. You'll be fine.

1:05:461:05:49

Hey, Max.

1:05:491:05:50

Lara's going to do a doggy roll.

1:05:501:05:52

Uh...a doggy what?

1:05:521:05:55

You do know how to do a doggy roll, I suppose.

1:05:551:05:59

Of course I do!

1:05:591:06:01

I've done it hundreds of times.

1:06:011:06:04

Yeah?

1:06:041:06:05

Yeah!

1:06:051:06:06

Uh, I'll let you go first.

1:06:061:06:09

Then I'll show you how it's done.

1:06:091:06:13

Come on, Lola. Let's do it.

1:06:141:06:17

-Go, Lola!

-Whoa!

1:06:171:06:20

Way to go!

1:06:201:06:21

Yeah!

1:06:211:06:22

Yeah! You did it!

1:06:221:06:24

You did it!

1:06:241:06:26

Yes!

1:06:261:06:27

Your turn, Max.

1:06:291:06:31

What?

1:06:311:06:32

THEY LAUGH

1:06:321:06:35

Third question -

1:06:441:06:46

if a friend of yours were being teased

1:06:461:06:48

for being gay or anything else, would you...

1:06:481:06:51

A - join in? It's only teasing.

1:06:511:06:56

B - do nothing?

1:06:561:06:58

It's not your problem and you don't want to get involved.

1:06:581:07:02

Or C - start a campaign to stamp out all bullying of any kind?

1:07:021:07:08

Time's up.

1:07:081:07:10

If you answered mostly A,

1:07:101:07:12

you sometimes dismiss people just because they're different to you.

1:07:121:07:17

Well, that's a pity, because you'll lose friends that way.

1:07:171:07:21

If you answered mostly B,

1:07:211:07:23

you could worry less about what other people think

1:07:231:07:26

and not be scared to stand up for yourself or your friends.

1:07:261:07:30

And if you answered mostly C,

1:07:301:07:32

you don't care if someone's gay, straight or different to you.

1:07:321:07:37

It's what they're like as a person that counts.

1:07:371:07:41

Max!

1:07:411:07:43

MAX GROANS

1:07:431:07:45
