All language subtitles for Teachers s01e08

I promise you that if you give me this
job, I won't let you down. The students

already respect me.

Yeah, right.

What?

Well, look at you.

Another day, another £48 .99 after tax.

I had a horrible dream.

Was I in it? Not that kind of horrible.
It was school.

Oh, calm down. You'll be on holiday in a
couple of weeks.

Yeah.

Permanent holiday.

Oh dear, being naked means...

or afraid you'll be exposed as a sham.

Running away means you're trying to
avoid being exposed as a sham.

But what were you doing there?

They didn't even notice I hadn't got any
clothes on until you pointed it out.

Some friend you are.

Was anyone else naked?

No.

But then something really horrible
stopped me, but I woke up before I saw

it was. Forget about it. It's just the
pressure of the interview. My turn now.

Can I ask you something?

And I've got the reports and the exams
and being my dad's best man. And he's

still banging on about the fucking stag
night, which he now wants on the same

night as the staff do. Yeah, but he's
old. It'll be over by nine o 'clock. You

can come afterwards.

What's another way of saying that George
Jones is a lazy, miserable little

fucker? He shows potential but lacks
motivation.

I know it's hard to focus on work when
the end of term's in sight, but we

must... to make sure that years 7 to 10
get the attention they need over the

next few weeks, and we've still got to
finish reports and records of

achievement. I'm doing them. I'm doing
them now. I'll be a lot quicker about it

if you stop interrupting.

On the plus side, don't forget we've got
the staff party on Friday.

Finally, can I see all members of the
staff development group at 12 .25?

And, Bob, we need to get together with
the rest of the panel and plan the

English interviews.

Plan?

What plan? What do they need to plan?

Hang on, I want to talk to you. Oh, I'm
late for the exam. Talk to me on the

way.

I want some advice.

From me?

I realise it's unorthodox, but... Is it
about sex?

Oh, I knew this was a mistake. No, no,
what?

I was thinking we might go and talk to
Claire about the head of the agent.

Are you sure you won't end up foaming at
the mouth and chucking bread knives

around the bathroom like last time? Very
sensitive, thanks.

No, but honestly, do you think it's a
mad idea?

Why would you want to pull yourself
through that again?

Has Jenny said anything to you about
whether she might want to keep doing it?

Yeah, right.

She confides in me about everything.

Oh, shit, they've already done it.

Have you seen the questions?

No, I've been trying to catch your eye.

Susan wants our job back.

Thanks, Simon.

Well, you do.

I think that's a great idea.

Why don't you go and talk to Claire
about it now before she has this

Do you think I'm ready for it?
Absolutely.

Go on, go and talk to her.

Yeah, I will. Thanks.

I think I could... Gone too much at
once, and with all the problems I was

at home, I just couldn't cope.

But I've separated from my husband and
moved out, and I've really been thinking

about what I want.

I'd love you to give me one more go at
the job.

I really think I could be good at it.

I know.

Otherwise I wouldn't have given you the
job in the first place.

I promise you I'm ready.

To be honest...

I was going to leave things as they were
for a while, but I will give it careful

thought.

Thanks.

What? I'm smiling about we are fucked.

How do you feel? I haven't always said
that when I come out on an exam. No, we

really are, though. Well, you'll be
fine. You answered all the questions,

you? What, so I get pissed?

All right, but don't get too
overexcited. You've still got to come in

and bring your books back.

Shut up. I already brought mine back to
you.

Oh, for God's sake.

Well, you've still got to come in anyway
and have a drink and say goodbye.

Mr. Casey.

Mr.

Casey.

I'm in due. It's urgent.

Well, I'm in the middle of something.

No, it's urgent.

Kurt's definitely up to something.

He's disappearing.

I was meant to meet him at the break,
though. What is it that's so urgent?

Well, that's it.

I think we should go and find it. Find
out what he's up to.

What?

You all right?

Yeah.

Good.

Can I ask you how it went, then?

How'd it go?

All right, I think.

Claire wanted to see you. In connection
with?

It's confidential.

Yes, confidential, but regarding what?

Nosey office stuff, I think.

I have something that might interest
you.

Excellent. Let's hear it.

Well, it's private.

No more secrets.

Have I done something to upset you?

No. Have you heard something?

Memorise that, then eat it.

A big bad wolf has shown its razor
-sharp fangs.

What's all that about?

I can't be seen to divulge confidential
information.

Work it for yourself.

Am I in trouble?

What do they want? Don't they want me
for the job?

It's got nothing to do with you or the
job. Oh, thank fuck for that.

The mummy bear asked the wolf what it
thought about the little lamb. And the

wolf opened its big fat mouth and said
something it shouldn't have to the big

mummy bear.

Well, the big mummy bear must be Claire
then.

Who's the lamb?

I thought it'd be Claire.

Susan. Right, fuck.

Who's the wolf then?

Who'd shaft you as soon as you look at
me?

Jenny.

The mummy bear said that the little lamb
wants to be a big sheep.

So does the wolf.

And now the wolf has told the mummy bear
that the little lamb's too mental to be

a sheep. Liz, I don't know what you're
talking about. For God's sake.

Jenny, shut it.

I've said nothing.

Oh, dear.

What do you think?

You're right. I can't concentrate.

But they know you, Simon. Going in there
and spouting statistics at them after

all this time.

It's going to scare them, isn't it?

Susan wants her old job back and Jenny's
fucked her over.

Were you sure you'd spoken to her?

Were you exaggerating?

No.

You don't know her like I do.

Then you've got to speak to Susan.

I don't want to upset her.

She's going to be a lot more upset if
she doesn't get the job and then she

out why afterwards.

You look lovely today.

Piss off.

I'm not telling you. All the internal
appointments will be announced tomorrow

morning. Whoa!

Shit.

I had the dream again and I couldn't get
back to sleep.

Jenny was in here.

What was she wearing?

Was she naked? No.

I was running away from something and
Jenny was blocking my way.

Calm down.

Once the interview's out of the way, you
go back to dreaming about trains going

in and out of tunnels.

He had a dirty dream about you.

I'd seem I was gagged and tired if I was
going along with it.

He... Didn't mention that bit.

But it's a nice idea.

Oh, I need caffeine.

Me too. I want to ask you about... Don't

overreact. Jenny's trying to shaft you.

Well?

You said don't react.

No, no, no. I said don't overreact.

Remember yesterday when she was going on
about how you were ready to do Head of

Year again?

Well, she went straight off to tell
Claire that you weren't up to it.

And how do you know?

You have to go and talk to Claire again.
Put it straight in case she believes

Jenny. Shut up now, Simon.

It's true, I promise.

I got it from a confidential and very
reliable source.

Liz never liked her either.

And I really don't like you when you get
like this.

Stop it.

Anything wrong?

No.

Oh, mate.

They wouldn't dream of not shortlisting
someone who's already doing the job.

When's your proper interview? Four o
'clock. Forget it.

All right, champ.

Listen up. This is important.

Whatever you do, don't fuck it up.

Good advice.

Thank you.

I mean, we can't happen on replacing you
with someone even worse, can we?

Cheers.

Staff room, obviously.

Do join us, Mr King.

Suck that.

My money's on the attractive yet
vulnerable one in the blue suit. What do

reckon? Oh, she's all right.

It's not looks that are important to the
job, is it? What is wrong with you?

Who killed my friend and put you in his
place?

That's you.

Fanta!

You all right, mate?

Yeah, all right. What are you doing?

Oh, just hanging in and hanging out.

I'll see you later.

Oh, see you.

Hey, Mum.

Have you noticed she's been acting a bit
odd lately?

All the time.

I mean, more than usual.

You keep disappearing.

You won't give me a straight answer
about anything.

I can't even get him to agree on a
holiday.

I suppose you fancy a fortnight in
Fertaventura.

I don't mean for sex or anything.

Not unless you want to.

It's very sweet, Brian. Obviously, I'd
rather die, but... Well, you're looking

at a short -listed man.

So now I've got to look forward to the
lovely interview.

If we're really lucky, they'll give the
job to someone a little less neurotic.

Look, I didn't mean to upset you, but I
didn't tell you to piss you off. I told

you because I didn't want anyone getting
in the way of you getting your job

back, especially Jenny.

You see, you're doing fine up until that
last bit. Is this really about me,

Simon, or is this because you're
frightened that she might get in the way

getting your job?

She couldn't, could she?

So it is about you.

I was thinking about you.

Sweet.

Anyone seen Carol?

She's supposed to be doing the floats.

What are you doing?

I've got a busy afternoon.

Got to get myself psyched. Yeah, right.
Look, equal amounts of cash in each box.

Yeah?

I feel good.

I feel bad.

Ain't it sad?

One day it's all going to end up in
ruins.

And without a shame, because I'm here to
change the total course of the world.

That's what I'm singing.

Your years here have brought you
friendship.

Knowledge.

And above all, the confidence to go out
into the world as valuable members of

your community.

I'm proud of you all.

I hope that when you go on to become
doctors, lawyers, or even teachers,

you'll carry a bit of me into the world

with you.

Here you are, Simon.

That's baby.

He's really... young.

He's a baby.

Well, it won't be the same without you
throwing up in the classroom.

I'll be back next year. My mum said
she'd look after him when we're at

Yeah, of course you are.

I mean, I wasn't assuming just because
you had a baby.

Yeah, you were.

What about the rest of you?

We're shitting ourselves till we get our
results. What do you think?

All right, B, I've got a job to start in
next week.

Really? What are you doing?

Working for my dad.

Hot carrying?

No, in the office.

Well, I ain't coming back, even if I get
my exam.

Don't worry, you won't.

I assume you'll be back next year. Yeah,
as long as I get the GCSEs.

Perfect.

Actually, shall I...

I brought you a present.

I use it.

Yep, you probably do.

Simon, are you nervous about what's
after?

No, not really.

Nervously enough.

I'm not taking it for granted, but not
stupidly nervous.

Good. I thought you might like to do the
leaving speech.

Can I have your attention for a minute,
please?

Shut up!

Right, I've been asked to say something,
and I... Right,

uh... Those of you that are leaving, I'd
like to say, good luck.

School's... all right.

for some people, but some of you
obviously can't wait to leave, so...

And those of you that are staying on,
I'll see you next year. Not that I'm

to be here next term. Well, I hope I
will, but nothing's guaranteed, you

I mean, I really would love to come
back, but it's no big deal if I'm not.

It might be okay if someone doesn't stab
me in the back, but, uh, all depends on

Mrs. Hunter, really.

You know what I mean?

What I mean is, uh, good luck.

Thank you.

I've really fucked it now.

What's this?

A number for the job centre.

I can't do it, not now.

It's hereditary relaxation.

Now close your eyes.

Take deep breaths.

You're calm.

You're confident.

You're in control.

You feel all the tension draining out of
your body.

Now, give me all your mind.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, very funny. Hey, you
know you're going to walk it.

Off you go then.

Go and get a job.

Thanks.

This is for tired eyes.

Seem to work.

You be clever.

You be clever.

So, Simon, how do you feel about
compulsory testing?

Well, I just think that the kids should
be judged on more than just exam

results. Our job's about creating fully
rounded individuals.

Actually, I just want them to like me.

That is great.

And how do you feel about how you relate
to the other members of your

department?

Well, actually, I pretend not to like
Miss Page, but deep down, I have a real

thing about her.

I'm leaving now.

I'll go down to the pub. I suppose
you'll come in. I am, actually.

Everybody was cold.

I thought I'd really fucked up, but then
Claire said that I'd done really well,

and I was way ahead of the other
candidates.

And the rest of the panel thought so,
too.

I mean, even Bob wanted me to get in.

It's brilliant.

You were the only one of the candidates
who didn't live well. No.

Claire said that I was motivated and
energetic.

I use that in one of my reports.

In fact, I use that in all of my
reports.

This will be me next term, though.

Turn to page 32.

Today we shall be studying Calcerius
Grassland.

This'll be you.

What is up with you at the moment?

Where's Carol this evening?

Any idea?

No.

She didn't tell you her plans when you
were in the IT suite earlier.

Alone in a room with Carol.

How could you control yourself? Yeah,
how did you control yourself?

What's going on?

More like what's coming up, isn't it,
sir?

You're not... Not what?

What?

Oh, my God.

Claire probably said no.

No wonder you wouldn't tell me where
you're running off to.

I like her.

Of course you like her. I will never
trust another man.

Well, my work here is done.

Have a good night.

I had to dream again, which means that
it wasn't about the interview.

Why am I still having it? What does it
mean? It means you have very limited

imagination. I'm serious.

Well, let me get this straight. You're
running along a corridor naked.

Jenny is blocking your way.

Yeah, but now there's a new bit.

I turn around and there's something
horrible there, too.

A mirror?

the interview, then I think it means
that you're obsessed with Jenny and

on your mind.

The last time I was going to say this, I
am not obsessed with Jenny!

Well, then, maybe you're feeling really
guilty about the fact that you've been

so nasty to her.

Yeah, but what about the other horrible
thing?

Where are you going?

Congratulations. Thanks.

It's a miserable existence, but you
deserve it.

Yes!

You didn't get it, then?

J -O -G -B -G -C -F -E.

And A -S -P -E.

Hey.

Hiya.

Hey. Some light reading for you, Vicky.

Where is she?

I tried to warn you. I said she'd gone
behind you. Just tell me where she is.

I'll, um, I'll see you later.

So, Carol with Jenny's arse or Jenny
with Carol's eye?

You know that's not funny anymore.

No, it really is.

Jenny!

Look, Susan, I knew you'd be upset, but
I didn't ask for this.

Oh, that's not funny then.

What did Simon say?

You told Claire I wasn't up to it.

Why didn't you talk to me about this?
And say what?

Jenny, are you trying to fuck me over?

But you believed him.

No, but no, you've got the job and I
haven't. What am I supposed to think?

You're supposed to think that we're
friends and that Simon might just have

own agenda.

Look, when I said I hadn't really
thought about the job, I was being

But then Claire asked me directly if I
was interested and the answer was yes.

You really... Do you really believe that
Claire would make a big decision based

on a passing remark by someone who might
be up for the same job? Why would he

make it up?

Come on, we've got a history, you know
that.

Because he made a pass at you six months
ago.

It was a lot more than that and it was a
lot more recently.

I didn't tell you because it's not
something I'm proud of.

So neither is he.

Well, I'm really glad I managed to get
stuck in the middle of your fucked up

relationship.

You think you can explain your
irrational behaviour?

She's the one who betrayed you, not me.

Well, not according to her, and why
should I believe you?

I wasn't making it up. Liz told me what
Claire said, and I was just trying to

protect you.

Well, all you've been doing is upsetting
me.

Pissing Jenny off, of course.

Oh, fuck. My life is over.

No.

I'm the one who didn't get the job she
really wanted. Your life is fine.

I'm sorry about your job, but Jenny's
going to kill me.

What is it about you and her, Simon?

Did she turn you down?

She didn't turn me down. Did she tell
you she turned me down? She didn't. I

turned her down.

Whatever.

I can't believe you didn't tell me.

Usually death threats tell me every
horrible little detail of you.

Personal life? What's so different about
this? I felt really bad about it

because of Maggie.

Bollocks. I've talked to you before. You
treat me like a professional.

I've never done anything this bad
before.

Well, what did you do?

Did you shag her?

Nearly.

I don't understand you, Simon.

All the time you've been telling me how
much you hate her.

I do.

I hate the fact that she knows that I
fancy her so much. I can't bear the fact

that Maggie's so much better than she
is.

Funnier, nicer, kinder, but I'm still...
And now,

Maggie's going to be sitting next to
Jenny at the staff party.

Jenny is obviously going to want to ruin
my life more than ever.

And I've got to leave them too while I
go to my dad's stag do.

You and I are kindred spirits. I think
we understand each other. I think I'll

just have the main course and not be
very hungry.

No, no, no, no.

Don't you think we have a lot in common?

What's wrong with you?

Have you got somewhere else you'd rather
be?

This had better be worth it.

Hi, Claire.

Don't you think we have a lot in common?

In what way exactly?

Well, we both work in a school.

We both like... What's that you're
drinking? Would you like another?

Genitouric, that's why.

I was going to be so guiding this with.

Here's to Jeff and Marcella.

Let's hope they don't end up on the
scrap heap like every other relationship

I've seen.

Jeff, master.

Thanks for your support.

Guess who got ahead of you?

You?

No?

Jenny?

If you want to go that badly, why don't
you just go?

Well, if Simon's to be believed, it's
all down to me.

I went to Claire and said that Susan's
certifiable.

I've got stuff to sort out, and I didn't
want to say anything.

I'm sorry,

everyone. I've got to go.

They'll be pulling it to pieces by now.

Disappointed? I'm absolutely devastated.

Are you?

Not really.

Oh, you know, you win some, you lose
some.

Gorgeous.

And Miss Dennington?

Meg being humiliated.

Nobody's made a real fool of themselves
yet, though. You're just in time. Great.

I don't understand why you can't give
her a bit of a chance.

Why should I? She doesn't want me.

Well, I don't think she did stitch Susan
up, and even if she did, Susan seems to

have forgotten about it, so why can't
you?

I've had enough of this.

Oh, God.

Liz, can I have a word, in private?

Depends, what have you got to offer?

Excuse me.

Tell Maggie what Jenny said about Susan.

How am I supposed to know what you're
talking about? You said that Claire said

that Jenny said that Susan wasn't up to
the job and wanted it for herself.

No, I said that Claire said that Susan
said she wanted the job.

Claire asked Jenny if she wanted the
job, and Jenny said yes.

So she didn't actually say that Jenny
said anything bad about Susan?

Well, actually, no.

So what was all that stuff about the
wolf saying to the little lamb that she

too mental to be a big sheep?

I was just reading between the lines.
Oh, for fuck's sake, I've been running

around accusing Jenny of being an
untrustworthy, backstabbing, psychotic

That's hardly my fault, is it?

Yeah, I know.

It's only fair to say this, Dawn. I'm
just going to say it now.

Straight up, no fucking around.

Jenny didn't say anything to Claire
about you.

There you go, I've said it.

I know.

The question is why you said she did in
the first place.

Listen, Paul, you know what she's like.
She'll say anything if you think she's

going to get a Mars bar out of me.

Well, anyway, like I was saying, I got
completely the wrong end of the stick.

Well, isn't it lucky you never take any
notice of anything you say?

What happened? Why are you leaving? I'm
on early shift, remember?

Oh, yeah.

Good. Brilliant.

Do you want me to come with you? No, you
go and have a lovely time with your

mates and let me go to sleep.

No, let's go.

Party at ours.

I'm tired, Bob.

You're coming with me.

No fucking chance. You're not leaving me
on my own with Keith Harris and all of

them.

I'll see you later.

I've made a right swat of myself,
haven't I?

In what way this time?

I said something to Susan about you and
I found out that I was, well, I was

wrong. I'm really sorry, Jenny. I really
am.

I'm probably the last person you want to
talk to now.

I've been really, really stupid and
insensitive and judgmental and... Aren't

going to stop me?

No, I was just about to add a few
myself.

Go on, then.

You know, Simon, I really can't be
bothered.

I don't know what to do. What do you
want me to do? Do you want to hit me?

Do you want me to hit myself?

Do you want someone else to hit me?

What about that bloke over there?

I could ask him if he wants to hit me.
Shut up, Simon.

Oh, thank God for that.

I was getting frightened by all that I'm
not angry, I'm disappointed stuff.

Where do you get the energy to keep
hating me so much?

I don't hate you.

What makes you think I hate you?

Everything you do and everything you
say.

All right, I used to think I hated you.
I probably went around telling everyone

I hated you, but then I realised I was
just a bit

scared of you.

And when we were shut together in that
cupboard, what were you then?

Hating me or scared of me?

Listening after you.

That's always been fairly consistent.

What, even now?

Yeah.

You must have looked after me, a bit.

Just for half an hour?

In a cupboard?

Well, you must have.

Want to come to mine? Yeah.

Take the next turn left.

he goes to show you to live with what
you don't know every step you

Oh, don't tell me. Can I talk to you? Do
I have a choice?

I'm in a real mess.

I assume you've come out of Jenny's
bedroom and not climbed through the

We made up and it was really nice.

No, not yet. She's still asleep.

I had the dream again.

You can't make a big life decision based
on a dream.

What you can do is sit down and ask
yourself why you're having the dream in

first place.

Why am I having the dream?

No. You've got to ask yourself.

It's too hard. I don't know the answer.

All right.

Let's take it step by step.

Do you want to go out with Jenny?

I don't think so.

Do you want to stay with Maggie?

I can't now, can I, after what I've just
done?

No, that's too easy.

Pretend nothing happened with Jenny.

No. Do you want Maggie?

I can't pretend nothing happened.

Because it's not like it was just last
night. I've been thinking

about this happening for months.

Well, now it has happened, maybe we'll
sort it out.

You've got it out of your system, you
can go home to Maggie and...

Get on with it. Yeah.

Either way, you're the only one who can
decide what you want or

don't want.

But once you've decided, try to remember
there are other people involved.

Do the right thing.

What do you want me to say to Teddy?

Something nice.

You mean something that will get you off
the hook and make her feel good about

herself and keep alive your newfound
friendship but without giving her any

hope.

Yeah.

I wish I fancied you.

Leave now.

Not now.

But you have a nice time.

Oh, really?

Well, tell me about it in the morning.

And get in my bed.

I want to talk to you.

What about?

What have you done now?

I'm tired.

Well, I've just been thinking about
things.

You're scaring me.

I really like you. I think you're funny

and kind and lovely.

Yeah, but...

I just think there needs to be something
more than that, and there isn't.

You don't dump me.

No.

Well... Good.

Do you want me to go?

Invitation makes you feel fly. If you
will, devil may ride.

When the invitation makes you feel fly.

If you will, devil may ride. When the
invitation makes you feel

fly. Did you ever leave a child in the
inspiration that will

ride?

And everybody wants a good time.

Yeah.

To me, definitely the worst thing about
the last century was the tragic death of

Princess Diana.

I mean... Oh, I think she was fine.

It's all... How the fuck have you been?

We've been waiting for you, man.

Okay, that's a drink, man.
