AMERICAN ACCENT: Round these parts, ain't nothing nice stay nice

for too long. Ain't nothing permanent.

Ain't nothing... forever.

? Crongton. ?

Suppose that's what makes life beautiful - impermanence.

Let me tell you, toots, that don't make it any easier.

They tell you that food is good for the soul.

Some souls need more nourishment than others.

If food nourishes the soul, that means Mum's getting fed,

even though she might not be here to eat.

Saturdays were always our days as a family -

me, Dad, Mum and Nesta.

We'd eat together... Breakfast is ready!

...catch up. But, since Mum died,

ain't been doing too much of that.

Wake up, Nesta! Arise!

Breakfast time!

Oh, my days.

Do you like your life? I nearly Jackie Channed you.

I don't understand your old man references. I made breakfast.

I ain't got time for that.

Got things to do today.

But it's a Saturday!

We always eat breakfast as a family, a tradition.

Traditions change.

I'm going out. You should eat first.

Keep the energy up. Mm-hm. Dad, Dad, I cooked!

Shut your fufu yamming mouth!

He's been working all night.

Four plates? Bro, come on.

You can't keep doing this. Doing what? I only set the table.

All right, cool. I'll see you later, innit?

A waste of food.

KNOCK AT DOOR Mr Tambo, open the door.

We can't keep coming back like this.

You need to pay what you owe, Mr Tambo.

Forget it. He ain't here!

Carnations. Ten for �4.

Ten carnations, �4, Madam.

I made this. It's amazing. Oh! Yum!

You been to an African wedding?

Or a Nine Night?

Let me get that.

I feel like you're too young to carry round a bag of Tupperware.

I'm just going to go and get some plates.

MUSIC PLAYS

Hey, you kids! MUSIC SCRATCHES

Bunch of bumfords.

Stop taking my shop for a nursery.

Do you understand? Every day, "Can I have?"

"I want." And now you are eating your own food.

You order to stay in.

Can I have one coke, please? To share. Between five?!

"Can I have one coke, please, to share between five?"

Can you imagine? Silly goats.

It's so good.

This is great, man. Thank you. I hope you like it.

This is so good. My taste buds...

Wow. You can really cook, boy.

I'm glad somebody thinks so.

I'm guessing this isn't just any dinner.

But if it is, like, I'll be cool with that.

I think you might be a moron. Yeah, I know.

Wait, what's a moron?

Is that like those people that have, like, four wives?

What?!

I'm seventh-day Adventist. Exactly my point.

It's just, every Saturday, my mum,

it'd be the day where my family got together and ate and caught up,

but now it's just like no-one has time for it.

You know what you could do?

You could make a really special dinner for them.

Like with fireworks. All-night gaming sessions.

What?! Idiots, no. Like make some formal invitations,

all pretty and stuff. I could cook my mum's special meal!

Exactly. Right, let's plan this out.

Operation Tambo Reunion.

CRUNCHING, FLIES BUZZ

Yuck. Is that boy from the hills?

He eats like a beast.

Like a wild wolverine, yummy corn!

Guys, leave him! Let him eat his corn how he wants to.

You're going to get this and I'm going to get that one.

Put it in like a box with like the make-up on.

I knew then that I wasn't alone.

Times like these, you can really figure out who your friends are.

What? Sorry.

What? What was that weird voice?

I don't know what you mean.

Right... I guess Operation Good Food is on.

This plan is leng! One problem, can't afford anything.

How much do you have? Can you ever really own money?

Ownership is a crazy concept.

Don't worry, my mum cooks all the time.

She'll probably have everything you need. Seriously?

Of course. No problem. Yeah. Let's go.

Race you there. Let's go. Hey, hey, where are you going?

Bye. Oh, OK, you go.

You don't come back here.

Look! Silly goats. You're not welcome!

Nonsense. If I catch these kids!

Wow. Saira, this is beautiful.

Hello. Welcome, welcome!

Hello. Hi, Mum. Welcome.

BOTH: Whoa!

BOTH: I said "whoa" first!

BOTH: Stop copying me!

Mum, these are my friends. Hi, Auntie Yara. Hello.

Saira tells me all about you.

You must be Lemar, Jonah and McKay.

Oh, so handsome, you three.

Hi, Mrs Saira's mum. Thank you for my compliment.

Your home is exquisite. So polite, this one. Huh?

Hi, Mrs Saira's lovely, radiant mum.

I really like your...

...hair.

Not greasy at all.

OK!

Who's hungry?

This food is delicious.

I've never seen anything more... It looks...

Oh! This looks so good. Thank you.

Mahdi, stop staring!

Do you ever blink? So I can miss your tricks?

I miss nothing.

Eat!

I have most of these, except this one -

shado beni. What is it?

It's a herb that grows under Crongton saplings.

Anyway, it's OK. Thank you. Your kindness has no bounds.

Maybe Juniper's dad's shop has it.

I saw a rhino egg in there once.

Rhinos don't lay eggs.

What type of social malfunction is this?

This is for what?

McKay's making a special meal that his mum used to make

before she...

So sweet. Take what you need. Thank you.

I am also very sweet, like a mango.

BOTH: Shut up!

SIRENS BLARE IN DISTANCE

Have you ever cooked this meal by yourself before? Not by myself.

Me and my mum would cook it sometimes together.

It's the last thing we made before...

I'm just trying to keep the memory of her.

Maybe it's stupid. No, it's important.

You know, every full moon,

me, my mum and my creepy brother,

we climb to the top of our block and look at the sky.

My dad loves the moon. We always find time to look at it.

Even when we were being held in the holding facility

before they sent us here.

We always look at the moon because, when we do,

it's like we're all looking at the same moon, like we used to.

Some traditions you have to keep going.

THEY LAUGH

DOOR CHIMES

Guys!

Nesta, what are you up to? Nothing.

None of you saw me, yeah? I'm a ghost.

Let's go.

MOBILE RINGS Yes, Dad?!

CLATTERING, SQUEAKING

I swear this place gets weirder and weirder

every single time we're here. We should split up.

Uranus sings a doomed lullaby.

What does that mean? Who's Anus? It's a planet, you ding-dong.

What do you need? Anything - we have it.

Rhino eggs? You got any shado beni?

It's dry out there.

Shado beni is nowhere to be found.

Juniper, you've got your finger in plenty pies.

Do you know anyone that knows about this?

Just you.

SQUELCHING

CUCKOO!

The ice cream guy?!

The rhino must've been very happy.

Shado beni.

Tell us what you know about the shado beni conspiracy.

What do you want with this?

I need it - I'm making a special dinner.

HE CACKLES

HE COUGHS

You're willing to risk your life for a single dinner?

All right, let me tell you what's going on.

AMERICAN ACCENT: Used to be that, round these parts,

shado beni was plentiful, streets were paved with it.

People got wise. That's when the cartels came.

They called themselves the Saggaboys

and they made it their mission

to control the herb and spice trade in Crongton.

It was a disagreement over prices getting increased.

They were charging South Crong five times more than North,

and the people had enough.

So, with that, no agreement, no more shado beni in South Crong.

I mean, it was mental. He said the shado beni went missing.

That can't be real.

I mean, he didn't seem like someone that would lie

about the Herb Hostilities. Enough jibber jabber.

The only place we're going to find shado beni is North Crong.

One store has it - Herbs & Spice.

No, man, not me. After that deletion?

Nope. I can't lie. North Crong is kind of higgy right now.

MOBILE VIBRATES

Guys, it's cool. I know what I have to do.

Go by myself. No, I'll come too.

We'll all come. It's important to you, so it's important to us too.

I'm also Spartacus.

BOTH: Shucks. First, we'll need disguises.

Juniper? Way ahead of you.

UPBEAT JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS

This feels kind of conspicuous.

That's why it's genius.

People will see us, but they won't actually see us.

Understand? No!

What kind of disguise works if they can see us?

Enough! We can do this. You ready?

Sure, dollface.

Bro. What?!

I mean, that was horrifically archaic. My apologies. I'm ready.

Let's go.

SHOUTING

SCREAMING

I don't like this. No, not one bit.

This place is crazy.

They'll know we're from South Crong.

Coconut cream in a curry. What does that even mean?

Exactly.

It's not like any of us are working with Manjaro or anything like that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who's Manjaro?

Who? Manjaro?

HE SCREAMS

Shush! Why are you making that noise?

Too much screen time, it deletes my irises.

Anyway, let's just get to this stall, yeah?

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Oh, it's a spice. It's a spice? Yeah.

Liars. Oh, I've never heard of that. No, sorry. OK.

Ow! Don't touch it! Excuse me.

Hi. Can I help you with anything?

Ahoy!

Oh, my gosh! Guys, he found it, let's go!

"Stingant aphrodasic."

Oh. What type of African tree bark is this?

Oh, that's hair straightener. My dad uses it. Mine too!

But my dad doesn't have that much hair. That's weird.

Shucks. We're going to have to ask the guy.

Excuse me? Mr?

Spice Man? Sir? Yes?

What do you want?

I got all the spice you need!

Spice one, two, three.

And spice four.

Ain't got spice five.

What you need?!

Why are you dressed like bootleggers? Told you!

Shut your snout. These disguises work.

Erm... I'm looking for shado beni.

Shado beni?

Shado beni?!

I'm so sorry, we're fresh out!

No shado beni here.

HE CACKLES

And anyway...

HE CACKLES

...shado beni?

Shado beni! Run!

Cheesus Crust, that guy's eyes were popping out of his head! Innit?

Sorry, McKay. Yeah, sorry, bro. It's calm.

I'm sure your mum would be fine about it.

It's not the same.

It won't be the same.

Different doesn't mean it's bad. It just means it's yours.

Oh, sorry.

Hello, Lambchop.

You're a long way from South Crong.

You lot smell soap? Wait, is that South Crong?

Oi, go get them!

That was crazy. North Crong Gs are scary. Innit?

Sweat and dirt. It smells like victory in here. Hurrah!

I can't be seen in North Crong again.

Them Gs have memories like mice. Elephants.

Lemar, who was that woman? I don't know.

All of that for nothing?

Hey, we tried. What more can we do?

Why do these events keep befalling us?

Are you smart or speng? Seriously?

Because, with you, multiple contradictions.

KNOCKING Stupid guy!

Who's that?

What is he doing?

What? Why are they clicking?

What is she...?

What's that? Wait.

What? No way!

Shado beni? I don't... I called in some favours.

No big deal. Big, big deal. Are you mad?

This means... Beni? Oh, my days, I can actually cook my mum's meal!

Thank you! It's fine, but, if anyone asks, you're from Honduras,

have a dog named Pepe and only one kidney.

Plus, you're very uncomfortable around Styrofoam,

but I don't think that will ever come up.

We did it! It's all you.

AMERICAN ACCENT: When a plan comes together,

it's like a recipe working for the first time.

SHOUTING

Whatever it is you're selling, me no want it.

Auntie, it's me. Nesta - Mo's friend.

Can I come in?

SHE COUGHS

Why are you here, Nesta?

Mo's back.

Don't worry. Nobody knows she's here.

Is she OK? Yeah, yeah, she's... She's all right.

She shouldn't be here. It's dangerous.

Yeah, she... She heard you were sick.

She wanted to see you before...

Erm...

SHE COUGHS

SHE SNIFFLES

What you saying, Nesta? Nothing.

I just came to check Auntie and make sure she's all right.

I heard Mo's back around.

Convenient you go see Mumsie when I hear that.

What you telling me? Nothing. I didn't even know she was back.

Then move, man!

Thanks, I don't know what I'd have done without you.

No problem, Auntie.

Listen, if anything was going on, you would tell me, yeah?

SHE EXHALES

What's...?

Dinner, like Mum used to make.

You can have some before you go to work. Yo, what's this?

Bruh! You know, I thought it would be nice to eat as a family.

CUTLERY CLATTERS

Mm! I think that might have even been better

than how your mum made it.

Don't besmirch her memory like that.

No, it was good. Well done, bro.

I miss her too, you know.

You do?

Yeah, of course.

I clocked the other day I can't remember her laugh any more.

Like, um... I can see it, but there's no sound...

...at all.

I don't remember her laugh either.

The laugh isn't so important.

You can remember she did laugh.

She was always laughing.

And she loved you both so much.

I miss her too.

You know, son, you don't need to hide your feelings

behind silly voices and big shows.

We all feel the same.

So what's for dessert, then? Yes. No, you're rude, man!

Why's he rude? You made Mum's favourite meal and you didn't think

of nothing for after? You can have a hi-five and a packet of crisps.

Nah! That's all you're getting.

Memory is a funny thing.

It can creep up on you when you don't expect it.

Things you want to forget never leave you.

Things you want to keep - sometimes they just trickle away,

like music on the wind.

People have a way of remembering the good things that you did

and the bad.

More than anything, people remember how you made them feel,

and that's important.

But they also remember what you left behind.

Memory is one of those things that lasts forever.

Who you hold in your memory - they don't ever leave you.

MOBILE RINGS

But that funny thing about memory -

whenever it's something not good, people don't forget.

And that ain't good for you sometimes.

CLATTERING

Bro, what you ignoring me for? I called you like nine times today.

My mic don't work no more.

I need you to do something for me, yeah? I don't... I'm not asking.

Hold this for a couple days, yeah? CLANGING
