Coach,

you are not using your own whistle.
Well, if you're not going to blow yours,

I'll blow mine, mate.

Get back on it, get back!

Yeah, stay on it.

What's going on? I'm doing my best.
You've been open multiple times and

got to start shooting. You need to stop
shooting.

Because it's not going in. If anyone
gets open... Hear that?

Laughing at us. Yeah?

Laughing at you.

Guys, we cannot lose to him.

What do you mean?

What we can't lose?

To him.

No, he's got nothing to do with that,
okay?

It's because he's smug. Look at him,
Mario fucking Luigi.

Check out that ball mate.

That's your ball man, that's your ball.

That's the one you've been messing with.
I think I know which ball. Go on bro.

Don't roll away from me bro, I need
that. This is my ball. Okay, let go of

Come on then, give it, don't be the poor
man. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Mr. Thompson, what are you doing? It's
our ball.

Give it to me!

Oh, no.

Is it the battle yesterday?

Yeah, OK.

What were you told?

That you pulled the opposition's coach
out of his wheelchair.

See, that's just so annoying.

Because that couldn't be further from
the truth.

I said, please, may I have our ball
back, our property back?

You didn't say that.

Okay, well, if I'm 100 % honest, I was
in a bit of a shit mood because we just

lost. So I wanted the ball back and it
was our ball.

This I didn't love.

Just ripped it very gently out of his
hands and he's come forward with the

out of the chair because he wouldn't let
go of it.

So, I'm the bad guy?

Well, I think the thing you're missing
is that it was his ball.

Okay, well, I know that now.

It's as innocent as you come out of the
shops and you go to a car that's the

same make and model as yours and you
open the door and go, oh, this is weird.

And I've never seen that shit in the
front and see the car. Oh, it's not my

My car's over there.

That simple. What does Vinnie do?

Breaks the window with his elbow, gets
in, tries to drive it off.

Yes, I've got a little bit of a temper,
okay? And I just hope you can accept

that I'm sorry for that and we can just
move on.

No, can't do that.

Hey, boys.

Hey, Vinnie. Vinnie.

Hey. What's been going on? What do you
mean? With the whole basket.

Oh, God.

What, is everyone gossiping or
something?

Yeah. You tipped a guy out of a chair.

A wheelchair. Is that what people are
saying?

That I tipped him out of his chair.
Yeah, did you?

I pulled him out of his chair. Oh my
God, okay.

You don't know the full story. He was
showing off and he grabbed my ball and I

was trying to get it off him and he was
fucking holding on to it. Why'd you try

to grab his ball?

Because he was showing off.

And it was your ball?

No.

I said it to everyone that it was my
ball because I didn't want to look like

loser. So you're just trying to steal
his ball? Yeah.

But I'm freaking out a little bit
because I've just heard from Jared that

going to escalate into something. big,
so the two schools are organising a

mediation session.

A mediation, that's fine.

I've been pulled into so many, they're
easy.

What you do is you go in, you just like,
you know, just stick to the story that

you've made up. I'm pretty solid with
it. Okay, good.

And then once you've said it, just zip
it, smile and nod.

Keep your story straight, honestly.

Prank us it in the toilet. Yeah, I will.

It should be fine.

G'day, Robert.

G'day, Mr Needham.

Why aren't you in class?

Oh, I'm on study break.

Well, you should be studying in the
library.

What have you got next?

Oh, I'm going to physics.

Are you sure?

Okay, well, where are you on that? I'm
on the Tuesday afternoon.

What? Just Tuesday, though. Why can't
you be on? Because I'm busy today. Hey,

sorry to interrupt.

Is Robert in any of your classes?

Like any of you actually teaching Robert
this term? Not me. No?

No.

Hey, Cherie?

Yeah? Is Robert actually still enrolled
in the school?

I don't think so. Hang on a minute.

No, he's not enrolled.

Hmm. Didn't think so.

That's weird.

Because I've seen him here every day.

It's weird that we haven't got him here
in the first place.

Yeah. Yeah, he is a bit of a weird guy.

Well, that's rich.

Coming from you.

Yeah. Mum, you're using the wrong tab.

Hang on a minute.

No, I've got to change screens. I've got
to change windows.

It's making no sense whatsoever,
Malcolm.

Well, it makes sense to me, Mum.

Robert?

I'm not getting Mr Needham.

I was talking to the teachers.

You're not doing any classes.

Sharif says that you're not even
enrolled.

I know.

What are you still doing here?

Just hanging out with my mates and...
Your mates?

Yeah.

Well, what mates?

What, Patrick?

Patrick's your friend. We hang out all
the time.

Hey, Patrick!

Should we go and play video games at
your place after school?

What? I said, can I come and play video
games at your place after school?

No.

Oh, OK.

He's not your friend, is he? He is. He's
probably just busy.

Stand up.

You shouldn't be here, mate. You're not
enrolled.

No one's your friend.

You've got to get out into the world,
Robert. I don't want to go out into the

world.

I don't know what to do with my life.

You're right.

Yeah. You can cry if you want. No, I
don't want to cry here.

I don't want to cry in front of my mate.

This guy over here, he thought that I
had stolen his ball.

He pulled it off me, pulled it so hard
that I ended up on the ground.

I see.

That is insane, what I've just heard. I
think it's best if we try and keep away

from language like insane.

What word can you use if something's
ridiculous?

I think you could say that's not my
truth. Could I say, like, that's fucked

I'd prefer if you didn't say that. Yeah,
but that's how I talk. I'd say fucked

up or I'd say bullshit.

Do you use that kind of language around
the students?

No.

You sure? You don't swear around the
students?

No. Do you like being feared?

I worry that's a bit of a trap question.

No. I thought I was giving my side of
the story. Am I not allowed to do that

now? No, that's exactly what you're
doing.

Okay. Well, this bloke was just thinking
shot after shot after shot. So that was

a bit disrespectful.

Like, the team's just lost, and I don't
think he was really taking on our

feelings as a team.

And so I said, give him the ball. He
said no. My ball, like, really gripping

like a gremlin or something. Because it
was our ball.

In your mind, it was your ball, yeah.

The name of our school was written on
the ball, clearly.

But, yeah, no, look, to be honest, it
wasn't great, you know.

No one was talking.

and the judgment eyes, you know what I
mean? So I guess if we're weighing up

these experiences, you know, we've got
you feeling like an idiot because of

actions, and David being pulled out of
his wheelchair in front of a large group

of people.

You can't be an adult student forever,
Robert. This school is a crutch for you.

This is your safe place. It's a haven.
You have a network of acquaintances that

put up with you. You need a career. Not
even a career.

Just a job.

Okay. So let's go through your subjects.
What subjects were you taking last time

you were enrolled at this school?

Metalwork. I was doing French and
English.

How good are you at French? Are you
fluent? Could you work in translation?

Give me a sentence in French.

Je m 'appelle Robert.

Croissant. Camembert.

Okay, please stop.

What about packing shelves?

I think that sounds like a night -time
job.

What's wrong with night -time jobs? I
couldn't do it at night -time. Why?

Because I'd be all alone.

Okay, what jobs have you had in your
life? What jobs did you have as a kid?

Mum had me do the lawns and the
gardening. Okay, perfect.

Lawn mowing. I can see it. Well, yeah,
but I haven't mowed a lawn for ages.

I don't even remember how to do it.

Okay, so you need to go and ring a lawn
mowing company, tell them you're willing

to come in and work for free, and get
some experience.

Could I do that here? Could I get some
work experience with the caretaker?

Morning, Clive.

So we need to get Robert going on some
work experience, yeah?

I'm here just to facilitate that. What
can we do? Can we pop him on this?

No. Okay, well what about this mower
here?

No. Tell someone no.

That.

The weed eater, yeah?

Okay? We're all good?

Sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry.

Okay, Clive, he's with you now.

Could you show me how to start the weed
eater? No.

Oh.

Hi. How did it go?

Pretty average, to be honest.

Thought it was a mediation thing, right?
So I hear both sides of the story.

Didn't hear my side of the story.

Just all his.

All David, just talking the whole time.
You didn't get a chance to speak at all?

Well, yes, I did.

Right, because you just told me that you
didn't.

Well, yeah, but when I talked, it was
just all, how do you think that's making

David feel? And it's like, well, how do
you think I feel?

Anyway, I'm sorry.

Did you punch in the thing?

In the room?

No. In the car? Yes.

Fucking broke the rearview mirror.

I think the horn's fucking not working.

Okay, so what's the upshot? I've got to
write an apology letter to David, and I

have to read it aloud to him in the next
session. And also, he doesn't have to

write one for me.

So, if that's not double standards... I
mean, it was you that pulled him out of

the wheelchair.

Yeah, but we were both fighting over the
ball.

Yeah, but it was his ball.

Yes, I know that. My strongest advice to
you?

Get through it quick.

Okay, so it's... Dear David... To be
honest, I've stopped listening to you

because I've just come up with a great
idea.

AI, I just write, write an apology to
David, fuckwit, and say I'm sorry for

pushing you out of your chair, your
wheelchair bullshit, and then I just

add 10 % of passive aggressiveness in
this.

You need to prime it. You need to press
the button.

Okay.

There she goes.

Maybe it's the side one over here.

I don't know.

Oh, the world's a stage.

Water. Blood.

Hello.

Hi.

I'm very pleased to announce that you
have all been hand -picked to be in this

year's school production.

I want you all to know that at any point
you can still be cut from the cast.

I might be like, Rufus, you get out.

You get out of here.

No, not now.

Just an example. That's how we get the
creative juices flowing, is by

being anxious.

So, what's one issue that young people
are facing today that's at the top of

their hearts and minds? Janet?

I was going to say climate change.

Online bullying.

You all remember last term when we were
studying the crucible, which is all

about bullying in the age of witches.

So we're going to adapt it into the
noun, and it's called The Witches of

Med.

So there will be large, lifelike,
cardboard cell phones.

So it'll be like, hello, hello, there's
not enough time in the day to troll, to

troll, our trouble's all away.

I'm just riffing. Yes?

Is it a musical?

No.

So. I'm going to get you to do some of
your own personal research. I want you

get onto your apps, and just for the
next week, I want you to start trolling

someone.

Yes, Marshall.

But isn't that all about what the play
is discouraging people to do? We have to

know what it feels like, don't we?
Aren't we just becoming part of the

then? Yeah, I don't see how it's good to
encourage kids to bully.

It's research.

Keep on kicking through. Pass it to your
teammates.

And guys, kick it with the instep. And
you want to stop it by bringing your

back, right? So that it lands... Whoa,
whoa, whoa! Hey, hey, hey!

Hey!

Hey!

What are you doing?

Sorry, Mr Thompson.

I lost control. Is there a way that you
can straighten her up and get her out of

the class?

No. Okay, everyone, grab a cone each.
We're moving this way. Ten metres.

All right. Sorry about that, everyone.
We're going to jump into partners now,

okay? For the next five minutes, I just
want to really drill down on that inward

kick, okay?

Because... Oh, my God.

Robert.

Robert.

The wheels are locked.

Yeah. So you can't push it? I've got to
get it back to Clive, though.

Yeah. Well, maybe I could just borrow a
couple of the students to help me push

it. You get the whole school out here.
You're not going to push it.

Go get Clive. Okay. He'll come and turn
it on.

And then you can drive it off, right?
Okay?

Okay, okay, I'm sorry. Oh, start
walking. You're pissing me off. Start

I'm sorry, Mr. Thompson. Start walking.

Cyberbullying is, like, very important
to kids, but, like, we just don't want

to, like, be witches too.

I mean, I personally just don't see how
witches and cyberbullying connect.

Makes no sense. Right, yeah.

Is she going to, like, build a giant
cardboard cutout cell phone and get you

dancing around inside it or something? I
think that was literally her plan.

We want to have a good time and we're
just standing in the back in a witch

outfit being bullied.

We had an idea.

Yeah, like a bunch of teenagers and then
they get abducted by aliens and sent to

Mars. Oh yeah? So what's it called?

We were thinking aliens, aliens, aliens.

So it's about three aliens?

No, that's just to empathise the point
that it's about aliens.

Right.

Dear David, I, Vinnie Thompson,
apologise unreservedly for my behaviour.

No. It was your ball and I shouldn't
have tried to grab it.

But hand on heart, I did think it was my
ball.

I'm sorry for the distress this
altercation has caused. No.

And I'm happy to be the bigger man and
walk away. Okay, bad.

Sorry to hear you lost on Monday.

Things might have been different if we'd
been in the finals. Kind regards,

Vinnie Thompson.

Did the computer write that? No, it was
being way too kind about it, so I just

took over. You need to skip the bit
about the walking away and the bigger

okay, because that's a grenade.

You know that, Vinnie, you know that.
Yeah, I do. Okay.

Okay, so cut that.

Yeah. Just go straight to sorry to hear
you lost on Monday or cutting that too?

I think cut that. Okay.

All right, so cut that, cut that. God,
it's going to be very short if I cut

that. Which I think is good. I could
talk about mum.

I could add a little bit about mum. Why
would you talk about your mother? I had

a whole paragraph in here about mum and
how she was mean and angry and that's

why I'm angry.

Mum did that to me. Just get into that
stuff.

Absolutely not.

Robert! Robert!

Oh, sorry, Mr Needham, I... Sorry, Mr
Needham, I... I've just started using

blower. Yeah, I know, I've been
listening to you for 40 minutes.

Right. Look, you've done plenty of work
experience. I think you're just doing

this because you're trying to stay at
the school, aren't you?

No, I'm not.

I think you are.

Well, if I'm going to go, can I take the
blower with me?

It's a bit like a graduation present.

Well, that's the school leaf blower. But
I don't have any tools.

And I was thinking about starting my own
business.

Yeah, take it. Yeah, take it. Thanks, Mr
Needham.

Right. Well, I'm... Yeah.

Dear David, I, Vinnie Thompson,
apologise unreservedly for my behaviour.

It was your ball.

and I shouldn't have tried to grab it.

But, hand on heart, I did think it was
my ball.

I'm sorry for the distress this
altercation has caused.

Sorry to hear you lost the final.

Fine regards, Vinnie Thompson.

So... How does hearing that make you
feel?

David. I think it's very shallow.

Oh, come on, man.

Did you not feel an apology?

Like, I said the word apologise.

And what about talking about the fact
that they didn't win the final?

Well, I said, sorry to hear you lost the
final.

Sorry. I'm just hearing glee in your
voice.

Do you feel sorry that we lost the
final?

No. No, I don't.

So I think that what we do is leave the
letter. Leave the letter. Let's leave

the letter. Cool. Okay. Just turn and
look at David as another human being and

just say sorry in your own words.

Okay. Alright.

Easy. Okay.

Dear David, I, Vinnie Thompson,
apologise unreservedly. No, let's

leave the letter.

Yeah. Okay. So the words that were in
the letter. I'm not holding the letter.

But you're reciting it. Okay. So you
want a whole new letter.

It doesn't need to be a letter. Okay.
Just words. Just speak. Okay.

Now I get it.

Great.

To whom it may concern.

Vinnie. Sorry.

No. Sorry.

To David.

Vinnie Thompson wants you to know that
he is unreservedly apologetic. Vinnie,

I'm going to need you to stop.

Just speak.

Yeah. As a normal person. Yep. And the
key word.

I think that I'm looking for would be,
I'm sorry.

Okay. David.

I. You know, I think the thing that the
issue is, there was actually a lot more

to the letter, because, you know, it is
mainly my mum's fault.

We can keep doing this, you know,
talking round and round and descending

sort of utter madness, or we can just
cut our losses.

my professional opinion is that this is
probably the best that you're going to

get. Yeah, I think so as well. And I
apologize for that, but I also know

you know, there's limited time on this
planet and I don't want to spend it just

in this room.

So I need to go.

Right. All the best.

Have a good day.

Sorry, who's this?

It's just Miss Duffy. Sorry, how old are
you? Turned 30 last month. Okay, well,

you look like you're a kid going out for
a trick -or -treat.

I'm done. I am done with this. We're
through.

What's going on?

Me and Judy broke up. Were you just
quietly inside like, fuck yeah?

It was a mortgagee sale, all right? What
does that mean? The last people

couldn't service the mortgage. They were
dead because they were on crack.

Just not allowed down there for a few
months. Oh, okay.

That's where they were cooking the mess.
