My world will be

Oh, sweetheart.

First I'll let you get away with that.

Regulation is eight inches. That looks more like ten. And believe me, lady, I

know what ten inches looks like.

Hombre! Have a seat, pet. You look like a rapist.

Well,

hello there, Will. How was Arizona?

Fabulous, thank you, people. A positively life -changing experience.

Two weeks in cowboy country, and you think that makes you a manager?

Yeah. Well, when you're born with natural ability, it's easy, Janice.

one moment.

Sorry, darling, narrow profit margins means more seats, which means our narrow

gangways require slimmer head hosting.

Welcome back, Will.

And it's good to be back, ma 'am.

Just in time for your first management meeting. Conference room two.

Oh, and Janice, hold back on the lippy.

Bloodsucker red isn't one of our regulation colors.

Here's your team list, Will. You'll be directly responsible for these people.

You're gonna have to get used to being your friend's boss.

Oh, and, uh, the outfit.

You've made your little entrance.

From now on, calm it down. Business suit and tie. We're not at the Calgary

Stampede.

Yeah, sorry.

The company's expecting a lot from you.

Okay, everyone, let's start.

Item one, redundancies.

The voluntary scheme has produced less than half of what we need, I'm afraid.

So now we get to the hard part.

Losing 200 more who don't actually want to go.

Ideas?

And answer came there none.

Well, it's over to you team leaders, I'm afraid.

Choose the people you can do without.

As a strategy, I'd suggest last in, first out. Let the youngsters go.

Next.

The investigation into Jack Fields' death.

Police believe... Jack Fields is dead?

I'm sorry.

I assumed you'd have heard.

Where's Poppy?

Flying, unfortunately.

Insisting on it.

I'm sorry to get out of here. Excuse me.

Poppy!

I'm so sorry.

Why didn't anyone call me?

She didn't want you flying home and wrecking your course.

Sod the course.

Why are you not in compassionate leave? I can arrange it now. Take as much time

as you need. Sorry.

Wish we had time to chat, but some of us do. They'll have to earn our livings

flying. Can you two get aboard? I'm off either.

Come on, hun.

Stop pouncing about in that ridiculous outfit and start earning that inflated

summary of yours.

Grand poppy. Because she's no use to anyone flying in that state. I don't

you can talk to me like that anymore, Janice.

You see, I am your boss too now, you know.

Get over yourself.

I've been thinking about these job cuts.

How about first in, first out? Get rid of all the senior pursers.

Go on.

Well, Fresh has 43 of them altogether.

Some of them so long in the tooth they probably can still remember the days of

disco. Not really the kind of image you want with an airline. It's supposed to

be young and funky.

And besides, they get twice the basic rate. For every one of them you get rid

of, you feed two junior jobs.

I like your style.

It's your strategy.

You implement it.

But I've never fired anyone before.

Get the union on side.

Then like the touch paper and stand well back.

I'm proposing that we make all senior pursers redundant.

All of them?

But they've got families and mortgages.

You know the competition we have in the budget sector. Revenue is falling, share

prices are going through the floor.

What did they do to you on that course?

Think about it.

For every one of them you fire, you save two ordinary crew jobs.

And besides, most of them aren't even union members anyway.

For every senior you get rid of, it creates more opportunity for junior

like yourselves.

I know you don't want to hear this, but you need to.

We need to tell people about what really happened to Jack.

Sorry, was that Hammond Pickle?

Doesn't it bother you that Jackie Randall's going to get away with her

Jack's death?

You don't stop talking to me, I'll explain.

I know that feeling.

Like you're going to explode if you don't just open your mouth and let it

out.

Only joking, only kidding.

Anything from the trolley, miss?

What's the most expensive thing you've got?

A mini bottle of champagne, £9 .99.

That's it?

That's more than most of our customers want to spend.

Well, see, I'm celebrating, Eddie.

And I feel like splashing the cash.

In fact, why don't I buy everyone a drink?

Hello, testing, testing, one, two, three.

I can't believe you're letting her do this.

She's got a handbag stuffed full of cash.

If it means we meet our failed targets. When was the last time we did that?

If I could have your attention, please.

At midnight last night, I came into a bit of money.

5 .3 million to be precise.

I turned 18 and Granny Morton's trust fund kicked in.

Now, here's just a tiny slice.

I'd love to spend it celebrating with all of you.

So, the drinks are on me. Order whatever you want all the way to Zurich. Thank

you.

It was a blast.

Do I have to get off?

Don't you have people waiting for you?

I could probably send a driver or something, but that's the last place I

be today.

In fact, why don't I just never go back?

Can't I just ride around with you for the day?

You don't have a return ticket, I'm afraid.

Oh, no problem.

No, no, no, I can't tell you on here. You need to leave the ticket desk. You

haven't cleared customs.

Listen, guys.

I'm guessing you work on commission.

That's right. I'm going to be travelling around with you all day, buying eats,

drinks and cuddly toys for everyone in cash.

There you go, Miss Morton -Wildley. That's through London and London New

Return. Are you sure you want to clear this?

Absolutely.

Drink and be merry, my new friends, because what's the saying?

Tomorrow we die.

What did I say?

My brother was killed last week.

Me and my big mouth.

You couldn't have known.

Now I know why you wanted to scream.

Let me make it up to you. Come out with me tonight, my treat, anything, anywhere

you fancy.

Well, think about it.

Oh, it is nice out.

They give you a nice little buzz if you're out of energy, or you just don't

to feel whatever you're feeling.

Keep the box present from me to you.

Well done, people. We've doubled our targets today.

Kevin?

Memo? What, Memo?

I regret to inform you that as part of the company's ongoing

restructuring process, we no longer require the services of persons of Grade

5 and above.

Your contract will be terminated from next payday. You will receive two days'

pay for every year worked for the company.

30 bloody days.

Great. Six weeks' money for 15 years of my life.

Fresh would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your loyal

dedicated service and wish you the best of luck in the future.

You're sincerely... Manager of Human Resources.

Will O 'Brien.

Will? Can this wait till tomorrow for a very long day?

Look, it's nothing personal, eh?

I just have to look at the bigger picture.

Don't give me that speech.

I invented that speech.

You were there the night that my daughter was born. How am I supposed to

her without a job?

I don't know.

Find another one. I'll read you a reference. I need to go.

No.

Ain't no wrong.

Anything I can do for you.

Haven't no.

Don't embarrass yourself, man.

Any decent manager would have the guts to fire me one to one.

It wouldn't take up 40 people with kids and mortgages just to settle a petty

personal grudge.

I won't let you do this.

You're a spineless shit, O 'Brien. You always were. You always will be.

Poppy!

Poppy, we're going home. Are you coming?

Bloody hell.

Where did that come from?

Geneva, Lorna, Lorna, Geneva.

Hi. She's been flying around with us lately. It's been wicked.

Doesn't she look great? She was made for Dolphin Cabana. What's she doing here?

This is a secure area.

I'll keep you there, Mum. We're going out.

To Hong Kong Blacks to celebrate my birthday.

Hong Kong Blacks? Who's going to Hong Kong Blacks? We are.

You want to come, Nicky?

I've wanted to go there forever.

Who can afford to change a 50 quid a table, eh?

She can.

Can we, um, have a word?

Um, yeah, if you like.

Try and see it from a union point of view. There's a choice between 200 job

losses or half that number.

And, Kevin, you aren't even a member.

I had to give that up when I was management.

I'm the worker now. It's your job to protect him. There is a crisis in budget

travel. All over Europe airlines are going under. Please, these are O

lines. What are they doing?

Bribing you or fucking you? Or both?

I don't have to listen today.

Sorry. No, no, you were right. He wasn't going to do anything for us.

Maybe I should just walk through the door with this and keep going.

What a spectacular day today.

Take more than five grand.

And how long do you think that's going to last you? I mean, supposing the

airline didn't find the police.

Two, maybe three months?

Let me see if you're going to be wondering where I am. I'm going to have

home. Oh, Kevin, not like this.

Oh, come on, we can't let Will O 'Brien get the better of us.

Well, what do you suggest?

I don't know.

We need to do to him what he's doing to us.

Come on, you were a manager. You must have some idea how to get him sacked.

Anything that comes under the heading of gross misconduct, I suppose.

Okay, meaning what?

Stealing, drunkenness, or drug abuse, or sexual harassment.

Or how about all of the above?

He can't keep his hands out of the tiller, his dick in his pants.

You're right.

I don't know just where to start.

Information boy?

His name's Luke Addison. He's applied to us five times.

Desperate to apply.

I don't get it.

Will's going to be hiring a new secretary. Every new manager gets one.

And being a man, you've got to make the time decisions below the waist.

This lad will be our man on the inside.

Luke!

Mr. McMillan! How are you doing?

You, uh, still keen to join Fresh?

Seriously?

I think we might finally have something for you. Oh, my God.

You know, it's my dream to join the best team that flies through the skies,

they're the cream, they're the cream. I will always be true to the turquoise

blue. Whatever it takes, you know I will do to fly.

That was, um... Mind -blowing.

Well, Mr. M, you know, you always said being cabin crew is like giving a

performance. So, you know, I've been working on it.

Why don't we go back to the fresh centre and we'll tell you exactly what we

want.

Right, here we are.

This is the holy grail for me, Miss Steele.

Like an Indiana Jones in The Last Crusade.

Freshly the only airline I've ever wanted to work for.

OK, off with that top.

We'll need a photo to go with your application form.

He's not going to go for you like that.

Yeah, that's much better.

What do you think?

A bit of gel, perhaps?

Is this kosher?

I mean, it's not some weird sex thing you two have got going, is it? Of course

not. Remember when you interviewed for Cabin Crew, the role plays we did?

Yeah? Think of it in the same way. A part you have to play for a couple of

weeks. And the better you play it, the quicker you get what you really want.

A place on the next training course.

I'm not gay, you know. You just have to make him think you are.

Look.

Try this on.

Really?

The host with the most?

Damn, baby, you look fine.

Didn't want to tell you.

No, you've got stuff in the bathroom since I've been back.

We've got an invite to Hong Kong Blacks. And I've spoke to Poppy to put you on

the list. How do you know that?

Some friend of hers, but Ed isn't up for it. Look, Poppy's made it clear she

doesn't want me anywhere near her.

Howdy, folks.

Oh, I see five minutes of management and nobody's talking to me. Of course we

are, Peck.

You look fabulous.

Come on. How was it?

Oh, it's been a busy bunny.

Sacked 40 people today already.

What? I made sure it was none of you, though.

Ta -da!

You don't come back. You have to dress up.

Fabulous. You're taking me to Hong Kong Blacks to celebrate my promotion.

Actually, it's a friend of Poppy's. She's put us on the list. I don't know

I think... We'll wait.

You can make cocktails for us at the table if you like.

Classic, that's with bitters and brandy. Cure Royale or Bellini, that's with

peach juice.

Mmm, peach is leaving me real sick of this beet drink. Me too.

Two Bellinis.

I bet we can make him come quicker than he can make those cocktails. What do you

say?

Oh, we are so soulmates, Poppy. I knew we would be. I'm a bit psychic like

Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday. Thanks for celebrating it with me. No

worries.

Wouldn't you rather be with your friends or family?

Hell no. My parents are only interested in their shareport photos, their art

collections, and how many painkillers their doctor can legally prescribe.

Is that what I think of them as a guy?

Works in the kitchens at my school, makes a fortune dealing.

Once you've finished with Harry Potter, you move right on up to his brother

Charlie.

Oi! What do you think you're doing?

What does it look like?

You don't use that stuff.

I do now.

because you haven't tried Cristal until you drink it. It's about $500.

What are

you doing?

Trying to have fun, if you'll let me.

Oh, stop it! Stop it!

Stop it.

Everyone at school says Ed Stewart's a gay, but you're not, are you, Eddie?

The name's Ed, and I wanted advice. Calm down.

Why are you doing this? Doing what?

Hanging out with Poppy.

Getting her drunk. Giving her drugs.

No one's forcing her.

What do you want from her?

Can't we just be friends?

People like you are never friends with people like us.

Let's go back inside.

No, Poppy, let's go back to the hotel. We can get as peace as we like and no

will get a blind pass.

Oh, no, we better not. We've got to be at work for six hours.

You do, I don't. I thought you said you needed to work.

I've changed my mind.

Good.

Then go home. Be with your family.

She's no good for you, Poppy. All she wants is an audience.

And what do you want?

You need to forgive me.

It wasn't my fault.

Cinnamon, you!

Tell him you didn't mean it.

Poppy, please.

I'll take Poppy and Geneva home.

Come on, ladies.

Now we can have our own little party.

You should get Nick to dance for you.

He's a stripper.

Oh, really?

Tell you what would be even better.

You two ladies dancing for me.

Come on, Poppy.

This is the bit where you join in.

You certainly do have a lengthy curriculum vitae.

Pardon?

So why fresh?

What brings you into my life?

Look, Addison, I want to do what you're doing.

One day.

So you come from information services.

You do word processing.

But you don't seem to have your typing speed down here. I only just finished

course. Please don't hold that against me, Mr O 'Brien.

I love this airline. I've always wanted to work here.

In fact, if Fresh was a woman, I'd marry her.

But I don't like women.

Calm down.

I'm new to all this, too, you know.

Now, why don't the two of us just relax and get to know each other a little

better, yeah?

Look at the body language.

If Luke Addison isn't on the payroll by the end of the day, I'll eat my roster.

Getting him in there is one thing.

I've no guarantee he can pull this off.

The kid's a fruit, Luke.

Well, we'll just have to pray that he doesn't do anything too dumb, because

right now he's our only hope.

Yes?

Well, sorry to interrupt.

You were in such a hurry last night, I didn't get a chance to give you the cash

from my sectors.

I will be checking to see that it's all there.

If you could just sign my sheet.

Busy, Will?

For you, Stella, I always have time.

I may introduce to you my new personal assistant, Luke Addison. He comes to us

from a senior position in information services.

Glad to meet you. Welcome to Fresh.

Could I borrow you for a minute? There's something I think you should see.

Excuse me.

I will be right back.

There. Your company car.

Okay,

here's the plan.

Will's job as team leader is to deposit the cash his crews take each day.

Now we're going to make that money disappear in a way that will look like

either lost or stolen it.

He'll be so desperate to get it back before management find out.

He'll do anything we want.

Understand?

Remind him to bank this.

He's not used to the routine yet. Off to go with him.

They use the bank in the terminal.

There's a bar on the way.

Get him in there.

Whilst you're there, find some way to flip this into his drink.

I don't know if I can do this, Miss Thiel. Luke, I might be overstepping the

mark, but Mr Macmillan has asked me to give you this.

If you get worried or tempted to give up, use it as your inspiration.

Luke, you've applied five times.

This is the only way you're going to get on that training course.

Come on.

You can do it.

Okay.

Okay, but how do I get him to do what you want?

Make him believe he's onto a sure thing.

He'd flirt.

You don't have to do that, don't you?

Not with a man.

Okay.

I'll show you how.

First, fix them with the eye contact.

Now, get them to imagine the mouth he's looking at is doing

unspeakable things to him.

Do you think you could do that?

It's fantastic.

It wasn't supposed to be delivered until next week, but I had my girl give him a

call at the dealership and put on the pressure.

I want to show you that the company can respond as quickly and decisively as you

have done.

And finally, when the moment is right, a

little physical contact.

Is any of this working for you, Luke?

Oh, yes.

You're off to a fantastic start, Will.

Even I didn't expect you to do so well since then. I won't let you down.

Well, back to the office.

No rest for the wicked.

Your redundancy proposal's been going like a dream.

Like a peep from the Union.

Not even a word from Janice Steele. I've got her under control.

I present the package to the board in half an hour. We get their vote on the

financial terms.

We're ready to roll.

What are you still doing here?

Just waiting for you to sign my cash sheet.

I checked the total for you.

5 ,860.

One day.

Bloody hell.

Yes, the airline's going to miss our professionals when we're gone.

Oh, and Janet... Wisps.

I know you're leaving soon, love, but let's try and not let this aid down, OK?

Can I just say thank you very much for my presence?

That's OK, Nicky, no problem.

Loads more to go.

Oh, I have two important announcements to make.

Firstly, I want you two to get work, stay with me forever, friends with a new

family. Yay!

Second announcement.

I, Geneva Marie Antoinette Morton -Wellesley, am almost bored of shopping.

There's just one more item I want to get from this place.

Ooh, very posh. Why aren't you buying?

Buying? Who said anything about buying?

Oh, how cute is she?

Oh, little girl. I can't believe you stole a dog.

Oh, we can't just leave her there. I mean, who on earth... is going to be too

grand for a verbal.

Oh, we've rescued her for a lifetime of department store hell.

Come on, let's go. They're bound to send someone after us.

Come on.

I think I'm going to throw up.

You're fucking crazy, both of you. How do you feel, notorious criminal?

Alive.

My parents and my three, hang on, count them, one, two, three stepmothers

practically keep that place going. They'll end up charging my father, which

pleases me immensely.

We were never in trouble.

Of course not.

We are now.

Geneva is your father.

Shit.

Take it in the bathroom.

So, what do we call her?

Millicent?

Jamama?

Javelin? Now you're being silly.

I know.

Drumroll, please.

Like it.

Quirky. Thanks.

Hello, Suki.

I'm your auntie, yes I am.

He said I was as much of an attention -seeking whore as my mother.

Said he was so scared.

He didn't mean it. And he's far too important to talk like that.

If he says I'm just going to do it, then I'll be sorry.

Don't say that.

Please, Colin, sit this way. Please don't leave me.

Only once.

Promise? Of course.

So, what

are you doing?

I was wondering where you had got to.

All today's takings are in from all the flights. I'm taking off to finance

myself. They asked if you could take the cash directly to the bank.

Oh, right.

Not to show the procedure, but I can give them a call.

They said the manager would be expecting you.

Go in any time.

They're open 24 hours.

I could come with you, if you like.

Give you a hand.

It's only fair, seeing as you've been...

That gets me all day.

There.

Okay, moment of truth.

He turns left, he's going for the bank.

You'll find out it's shut and that Luke was lying.

He turns right, we're on.

Okay, one drink, and then the bank, and then dinner.

And then for us, whatever you fancy.

Walk into my parlour, said the spider to the fly.

What's he doing here?

I'll go.

No, don't.

He's my guest, puppy.

In case you've forgotten, this is my house.

And whilst we're on the subject, can I ask you what she's doing here?

Geneva's father made the hotel throw her out and Poppy insisted we bring her

here. I can have this too, Khan. If I learn it's on a night stop, she'll stay

my room.

I suppose.

But just for tonight. After that, you sort yourself out.

I'll get some clean sheets.

How is she?

She's OK.

I guess it's a good distraction taking care of someone even more fucked up than

she is.

Aunt Geneva's a really wild girl.

How do you mean?

You know that scene from Wild Things?

The scene?

Yeah.

Been there, done that. Oh, with Poppy?

Well, you took advantage of a girl that's half out of her mind with grief.

knew exactly what she was doing, and she enjoyed it. Anyway, why are you two a

history? Well, that's not the point.

She'd have been even more upset if I'd have turned her down.

Look, in the cold light of day, I'm not proud of it. We're all coked up.

You know it.

Hey, Nicky, you coming up?

Yeah.

Right, come on.

Let's get out of here.

I need mineral water to take my medication with.

Medication? Nothing serious, just hay fever.

It must be miles from neither's blade of grass.

Please.

Oh, God.

Many of them have I had. You must think I'm a real lightweight.

I need to get myself one. Cheers.

Where's the cash box?

It's on the chair next to you, isn't it?

No, it bloody well isn't.

Shit.

Shit, shit, shit!

This is your fault. You should have been keeping an eye on it. I could have

taken it when I was in the know. They?

He, she, whoever, I don't know.

Have you got the police station?

What about Miss Lightfoot?

If she finds out we've been in here when we're supposed to be in the bank, then

you'll eat up. What?

I'm sorry.

Sorry I put some in your drink.

It's only because I wanted to, you know... Oh, shit, I'm so fucked.

What are we going to do?

Now, if I'm at the decimal point one place, ten grand will look like one

That's fine. I can take one grand out of my own bank.

Shit! You try.

I don't know how.

But you're a secretary. You're supposed to know how to use a spreadsheet.

You can send me an email at midnight.

Fiddling the figures as well now. Shit, what's going on?

Be in the airport chapel in 15 minutes or we'll be revealed.

Right, come on.

Forgive me, Father,

but I have fallen.

You bet.

Oh, vanity, Twill. You're in the Lord's house now.

A good Catholic boy.

How many commandments have you broken today?

Thou shalt not steal.

I don't.

You obviously did. You stole our jobs.

Thou shalt not bear false witness.

Thou shalt not covet cute boys and fast cars.

Jesus, will you just shut the fuck up? Oh, there goes another one. Thou shalt

not take the name of the Lord in vain.

Why don't we just calm down for a second and talk practicality?

Now, the way we see it, you've no proof.

Anyone took that money but you. He's my witness.

Is he?

Look.

What do you want? Our job's back.

I can't.

Your grade no longer exists. The board's already voted on it. Then make us up

another one. With more pay and more perks.

We want to fly when we want and where we want.

And I get to be cabin crew on the next training course.

So that's what this is all about.

I bet you're not even gay, are you?

Okay.

Okay.

Give me the box.

It isn't.

You get it reinstated, then you get your money.

Bastard!

Go away, dog, please.

Please, I need my beauty sleep.

Get out, will you?

I'm sorry.

It's just something I do when I can't sleep.

Yeah, well, the dog can't sleep either. I think he's eating some Charlie. Should

I wake the girls?

No, look, what can they do anyway?

Well, should we call a vet?

Right, look, it's going to be okay.

Put it in the bathroom with a big bowl of water in case it gets thirsty.

First thing in the morning, that girl is out.

We killed it!

No, babe, it was an accident.

Alan.

Leave it back in the bin, shall I?

We killed a poor defenseless dog and you're just going to throw it away?

Just put it on the side, will you?

Lee, I've really got to go. If I miss another day... Go on.

You, get your clothes on and get out. I don't know where I am.

Nick, we'll drop you back off at the airport where she left you in the first

place. Have a nice life.

This isn't my fault. What did he do?

This is not about you!

Well, look, if you want the money or something, if she's so upset about it,

let's just get her a new one. Even cuter. I really don't see what the big

is. I mean, it was my dog anyway. If anyone should be upset... Come on, let's

get you dressed, yeah? It's not like I gave it the coke, is it? I mean, I'm

really angry that... Get out!

Well, you sleep tight.

You too.

I'm sorry I have to ask, but she hasn't stopped crying. I don't know what else

to do. I've got a bit of work.

It's all right.

You want to create a new grade of training person.

It'd be such a waste to get rid of all that experience in one go.

We'll still be getting rid of 40 people, but the two or three that we will keep

on will help train and supervise the juniors.

But the salary you're proposing, it's more than you earn.

Yeah, um, well, they'll be taking on a lot more responsibility.

Good enough for you?

Yeah.

It's been a pleasure doing business with you.

At the same time, don't ever fuck with either of us again.

You got it?

I'll be taking that up to my kids myself.

I printed out a new contract for Miss Dale and Mr Macmillan.

When does my training course start?

Never.

But you promised.

I lied. You were the worst of the lot.

You're nothing but a nasty, dishonest, prick -teasing little weirdo. And hell

will freeze over before I give you a job flying.

Now get your stuff and get out.
