All language subtitles for Waterloo Road s02e07.eng

Welcome to Waterloo Road, Russell. I'm
sure the parents are going to be very

happy that we've got a local hero doing
his teaching practice here.

Well, I hope the kids feel the same way.

Well, from what I hear from Kim, you've
got no worries there.

And you even look the part, so you
managed to find the iron.

Yes.

Andrew's going to be your mentor while
you're here.

I'm looking forward to my 14 weeks, if I
last that long. Well, you've certainly

got experience if I'm all...

How shall I put it?

Recalcitrant children.

That's half the battle. He means the
scumbags.

And I bet they don't call them that at
college.

Jack likes to shock. It's a personality
disorder.

You're going to love it, Ian.

Waiting

for

the right word.

But I won't find them anyway, to let you
know my truth.

I'll wait with you.

Bye, Pat.

I just wondered if you were free
tonight.

I was free the other night, but you blew
me out.

Yeah, I know, I'm an idiot, but... I
think you should know.

Jack asked me to move in with him.

How do you want to live with him?

Last week you were going out with me.

I've been kidding myself thinking I can
have what I want when I want it.

Putting everyone in their separate box.

And I've realised I don't want to be in
a separate box anymore.

I think Raymond loves you.

So why else would he ask me to live with
him?

You're his second.

Every box is fantasy, isn't it?

Morning.

Miss you last night.

And the night before that.

And the night before that. That's what
I'm missing.

I do have to stay at my own place
sometimes.

Which reminds me.

Have you made your mind up yet about
moving in?

I'm still thinking it over.

Thinking or stalling?

So is he arrived yet?

No, he couldn't.

He's having a nosy round the school.

Go admire him.

Leaving the police to become a teacher.

You admire that, do you?

It's not an easy job, this.

No. Not like a secretary's.

Eh?

So, what would I have to do to become
one of these teaching assistants?

You serious?

Hiya.

Hiya.

And a kindred spirit.

Oh, you were.

There's some amazing stuff in him.

Did one of your pupils do that?

Yeah, yeah, one of my year nine.

Got high hopes for her.

It's great to see that kind of self
-expression in a young person.

Yeah, she's a natural.

Like you.

You velvet.

Kim knows she's my role model.

I might need you to hold my hand for a
couple of days.

I know you can do it.

I just can't afford to lose you from
this office.

The whole school revolves around you.

Are you patronising me?

The exact opposite.

Which is what?

Well, I'm bigging you up, aren't I?

You know what, Jack? I sometimes worry
that you think this is me.

What you see here every day.

Doing the boss's filing, typing his
letters, making us coffee.

Look, I'm the one that asked you to move
in with me.

Says what I feel about you.

And no, I'm not going to ask you to wash
my socks.

I do have three A -grade A -levels of my
own, you know.

I just decided that I'd learn more
travelling the world than going off to

Which is why I did a secretarial course.

So I could get a job whenever I needed
to.

That's great.

There'll be loads of conversations we
haven't had yet.

Listen, I'm just glad that you ended up
working here.

So I could meet you.

Look, why don't I make the tea? Prove my
new man credentials.

So it's okay then, is it?

Me sending my TV off for clearance.

Look, I'm keen for you to get on, but
maybe not this year, eh?

Not with the headmaster's interviews
only a couple of weeks away.

Let's just work together for a while,
see how it pans out, yeah?

Which makes me sound like a little
extension of you, which I'm not.

Don't be like that.

You know what, Jack?

I was thinking when you asked me to move
in with you that it meant something.

But it doesn't, does it?

It's all about convenience for you.

How much?

Ruffalo used to be a policeman before he
got the call to teach.

He actually got stabbed as well, saving
this young woman from a violent lover.

Wow, fantastic.

Oh, sorry, I hope you don't mind me.

No, I just hope you've got metal
detectors on the school gates.

You're joking, aren't you? We don't even
have a school gate at the school gate.

Nicked. Take my advice.

Pretend you've still got the power of
arrest. They won't know any different.

And you can keep them right there.

Well, I might have to come to you myself
when I've got a problem, Russell.

I'm Steph, by the way. Steph Haydock.

French. Hi.

So, why did you give up the force? Was
it because of the stabbing?

I was in the wrong place at the wrong
time.

Russell. Why don't we head off? I'll
show you my lesson plan for the next

period.

You threat.

You can do hockey like no one else can
know.

I don't feel like talking, really.

I don't think I want to listen anyway,
so why waste my breath?

It's you that don't want to listen.

Maybe I've just got too much stuff
clashing in my head right now.

Do you think it's possible for someone
to like two people at the same time?

No, I don't.

If that's what's bothering you, I'd
stick my clasping head under a tap.

How can you be so sure?

Because if you really love someone,
Brett, you want to be with them all the

time.

Anyway, I can guess who you're talking
about.

Leanne Galloway?

Leanne?

It's DeViva's shacklet.

Come on.

Beep, beep.

If you don't play, I'll pause there,
remember?

Just a second, Tammy.

She's gone out with Mr. Willer, hasn't
she?

I didn't know that.

I met her in a bar one night.

I didn't know who she was then.

It's just wild.

It's just pretty amazing.

Yeah. And then I couldn't find her
again.

She lost her phone.

I kept going back far, but next time I
saw her, I couldn't believe it.

It was sitting there on her desk in
here.

Anyway.

Don't think anything's going to happen
now.

Sorry about that. Just got cut short.

Brett!

D 'accord.

I don't get it.

Why did you end up on my doorstep the
other day?

Do you mean to blow you out, did you
say? You thought you'd come and give me

go?

You know I feel something for you.

Something?

Do you know what, Brett?

You make me sick.

All right?

Best way to start at last, have them
calm and orderly before they're going.

Kim told me you were a bit of a stickler
for the old rules.

Did Kim?

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great.
I mean, obviously it works a treat.

After you.

Did I not help you with your own work
last night?

Well, I had to work out a bit last
night, eh?

You mean you didn't do it?

You're all going to be getting your
detention.

Oh, big deal.

It's nuts, isn't it? Having your foster
mum be your detention.

She's not my foster mum.

I'm getting a real one today, though. I
can't wait.

It's like the day dot was well bad.

The flaming alcoholic.

Well bad.

Quite a difference, ain't it?

I dropped the bottles in the bin and I
was like, well, and that's been, like,

not even a week.

Definition, anybody?

Francis. Sir, is it a description of a
word?

Indeed it is, Frances.

Think out of the box, as they say.

Mr Millen and I will come round and have
a look at your suggestions.

Very impressive.

Little thing I've learned over the
years.

Don't let even one child slack.

If people believe that there are deeply
free zones, then they always have a few

whose attention wanders.

I don't think so. No, it's not a dumb
thing, but I like being thrown into the

deep end.

And you've done all the hard work. I'd
rather you didn't serve for the time

being. You might pick up a few tips.

All right, look, you've seen the lesson
plan.

Why didn't you take them for the last
five minutes?

On my own.

Look, I admire your enthusiasm.

Ooh, take you all of two minutes, did
it, Janice?

Oh, no way, Miss, I've set it all night.

Shut it, you!

No, you!

Shut it.

You are going to have to put in a lot
more effort if you want to even think of

getting any GCSEs.

This is your second chance, Janice.

Don't blow it.

At least I've done something she hasn't.
None of your business what I've done.

Me? Maxine said you didn't bother with
the work because you were too out of it.

She said you go through two bottles of
gin a week.

I couldn't lie. Yes, it is a lie.

How dare you?

Miss, she's making it up.

Who's lying now, Maxine?

You can't have the bottles in me, say,
Doctor Finn.

Say, she put that dry martini stuff as
well in your drink.

You're for it, you are. You're always
talking about Steph, isn't she?

Loyalty.

Stick. How did you come up with that?
When you're loyal, you stick by

don't you?

Anger kettle Bowl with anger like a
kettle I Don't

think Aaron's quite got what you were on
about. Mr. Chairman. Perhaps you could

explain someone Yeah, yeah You see what
it is

that you're looking for here Aaron is a
word that isn't Too

far away from the words that are on the
board

For example, anger is something that
comes from inside you. It's a feeling.

Like when your mum doesn't allow you to
watch your TV in your bedroom.

You mean like minging?

Exactly. Good.

Oh, the anger is a noun.

An abstract noun.

As Mr Millen says, it's about a feeling.

Things you can't touch or see or smell
or hear.

Try to think of a word that you would
substitute for anger in a sentence,

He felt anger.

Fury. Good.

Give the boy a gold star.

I am flaming mortified.

Miss, I'm sorry.

You have got a lot to learn about
people's privacy, young lady.

I just hope your new foster parents have
got the patience to cope with you.

I don't want to be fostered.

Why can't I just stay with you?

And why would you want to stay with
someone who drinks 27 dry martinis a

Like I said, Maxine...

It's been nice having you.

But you need proper looking after, and I
can't do that.

Why don't you just come right out and
say what everybody else does?

You hate me, don't you?

Look, this children and families place
will have you sorted come lunchtime.

What you need is security, Maxine, not
shacking up with your friend's teacher.

And to be quite honest...

I'd rather be on my own.

All right, kick me out.

Okay.

I'm not bothered.

I've got to hand it to you.

You're in control there.

Yeah. The children like you.

And you managed to keep them engaged.

Just one thing.

A comment designed to make a class laugh
at a pupil's expense can have serious

consequences.

Disastrous sometimes.

Are they really that sensitive?

Yeah, in front of their peers.

Trust me.

Did you get anything from the lesson?

Yeah, it was very interesting.

Maybe... Look, I don't know, but at
college they were always telling us to

the jazz factor, and possibly we could
have...

Put them into pairs, got them to stick
their words onto each other. Jazzy

college theories.

Sometimes the only things children need
are a pencil and an exercise book.

So?

How did your first lesson go?

Shouldn't you ask Mr Trenneman?

Yes, yes, so far so good.

There's a long way to go, though. Oh,
excellent.

Do you know what I think I cried on my
first lesson? You?

I certainly didn't cry.

In fact, it was a very pleasant
experience.

Yeah, you'll soon learn about Andrew
that he was actually born with a piece

chalk in his mouth.

All that comes naturally to him.

Haven't you got Mr. Budgen's class next,
Russell?

Oh, naughty boy.

I'll see you later.

See you in a bit.

It's not a good idea to criticise me in
front of a student teacher.

Oh, Andrew, lighten up.

He's a fully grown adult who's got a lot
more experience in the real world than

you.

So, your teenage son or daughter has
come home two hours late and is smelling

alcohol.

Yeah, I know none of you lot know
anything about that.

Anyway, you're at your wit's end. I
mean, how many flaming times have you

tell them?

So what I want is, I want this side to
take the reasonable approach.

Tell the child how worried you are. And
I want this side to confront the child

and let the anger come boiling to the
surface, yeah?

Drawing from personal experience, are
we?

Could you just leave it?

OK? Shall we start?

Well, you're the expert.

And slam!

That drunken, pain -in -the -neck kid of
yours comes walking through the door.

I want you to turn around and walk out
of here like a decent human being, if

that's possible.

Why don't you just tell me to piss off?

You did my brother for Nick and Cass.

Yes, and he'll do you as well if you
don't get on with those questions.

He's not a policeman any more, is he?
You're one of them.

Sir, I'm going to show his car.

Why don't you all shut up, OK?

Get on with your work. Now, bags on the
floor.

You get 20 out of 20 in your
interpretation.

That is about as likely as the Easter
bunny hopping through that door.

Well done, you.

Listen, if, um... If you wanted to give
me a go on my own, I'm more than

willing. Very tempting.

Very tempting.

Seriously. Go and get yourself a cup of
coffee. I'll be fine.

It's going to take him at least 15
minutes to finish those questions.

Exactly.

Right.

You know where I am, Mr Millen, if
there's any trouble.

Put that away. Get on with your work.

Sir, Donna's not doing what you told her
to do. I need more out of you and

I'll... Did you hear me say to put that
away?

Stump it.

That is pure cheat.

Okay, fine.

It's been accomplished, Gareth.

Sir, you're not allowed to steal from
people.

Do you hear what she called you, sir?

What? I didn't say anything.

It's the way now.

OK, just get on with your work, yeah?
You, put that hood down.

What did you call Mr Miller?

Don.

Something. Sarah, she said it again.

Said what?

Began with S, didn't it?

So does she.

Get on with answering those questions.

No, S -D.

Um. Yeah, S -D, um.

Sarah just called to stump her. I was
just saying what she said.

You are a rock, I guess.

Can I just tell you what I really think
of you in case you got the wrong

impression of me?

You're really intelligent.

You're a great organiser. You'd make a
fantastic teaching assistant.

But? No buts, no ifs.

Maybe the thing is, I just really like
working with you.

And I thought that you really liked
working with me.

I thought it said a lot about the way we
work together.

Well, you've asked me to move in with
you, Jack.

But you've not really said why.

For all I know, it's because you want me
to work from home as well as the

office. You're the one who's not
committing to me.

But it's not for me to commit, though,
Jack, is it?

This is a power relationship.

Don't give me that feminist claptrap.

Why not?

I am a feminist.

And the law says that you're in a
position of power over me.

Everybody knows it.

The onus is on you to prove you're not.

So, this is your reference for me for a
teaching assistant role.

Mr. Busby is going to be back in a
second, yeah?

So, why don't we go over the answers to
the questions, yeah?

Okay, question one.

Why was Catherine confused?

Well, the answer is... The answer is...
The answer is... The answer

is... Catherine was confused because she
didn't know where the noise was coming

from.

Question two.

I was stumped by this question.

You're nothing but a cheeky wee get, do
you know that?

My mum's coming in about that.

Is she?

Good. You swore.

teaching that loud swear one more word
out of anybody and you are all going in

the cooler that's a promise that's a
promise that's it then thanks very much

Mike looks like we're all going in the
cooler now

I'm taking them to the library.

So far, so good.

Yeah.

What's going on? Mr. Millen sent us
here.

Mr. Millen? I can only apologize, Mr.
Trenum.

But they were all well out of order.

Every one of them.

I'm sorry this class has given you so
much trouble, Mr. Millen.

Inside, all of you.

Quietly. You.

You.

Here.

Hey. Are you alright?

How many more times is this going to
happen?

I don't know if it's a real pain
anymore. I'm just imagining it. Yeah.

Try not to get too stressed about it.

I mean, this might be as bad as it ever
gets.

And if the pills don't work, well, you
can always go on the cannabis.

Yeah, great. Turn into a pothead.

What if I've got someone around to roll
them up for me?

I think you're incredible, Lorna.

I'm really amazed by you.

And you know I'll always be around for
you, don't you?

Yeah, well, then tell me what I want to
hear.

You'll stay with me.

At least until you find a little palace.

Great.

If that's what you want.

Mr Budgen, looking for your class.

Would somebody mind telling me what the
hell is going on? You left a student

teacher in charge of your year nines.

Uncontrollable call of nature, and if
you want to check with my doctor, feel

free to do so.

Would you rather have had me leave the
class on its own? It's not as if I'm

totally inexperienced when it comes to
controlling children.

The cooler is designed for problem
individuals, not whole classes.

What if the whole class misbehaves?

Look, I do understand something about
the mentality of the pack, OK?

You should try placing a football match.

Exactly. Listen, if you lose control of
a whole class, you'll never survive.

I'm going to have to speak to the
headteacher, just to see how we can best

you along.

We don't want it happening again, do we?

Oh, no doubt you'll cause a major fuss.

You got a minute?

I don't think Andre

Trenneman likes me very much.

Oh, yeah?

He's been dying on me all day.

Well, I suppose we've been given the job
of looking after you, haven't we?

I think he sees me as a bit of a rival.

Maxine's 16.

I'm sorry to say she doesn't meet the
threshold for fostering.

Why's that?

Put simply, she doesn't class as
vulnerable.

Of course she's vulnerable. She's
homeless.

Now, strictly speaking, that isn't the
case.

Told you.

Well, you can't expect her to go back
and live with her rotten mum.

She was harbouring a sex predator, for
God's sake.

It's her choice, Miss Haydock.

What she wants to do.

Where are we now, Maxine?

Well, yeah, she's with me at the minute,
but it's not just a roof that she

needs. It's proper care.

Look, I suggest you try the homeless
persons unit.

Oh, right.

They may be able to find Maxine some
sort of semi -independent place, maybe a

hostel or a B &B.

Well, there you are, you see. It's
better than nothing.

I'm the one that's got to live there.

I'll give you the number.

Maybe they could fix you up with
something today.

I'm not going... Going to no homeless
unit. Please don't be like that, Maxine.

I'm not!

About me.

Look, this is a bit awkward, but I'm
going to have to ask you to stop me and

and Tina teaching together.

Hmm? I don't want to go into details,
but he's been bringing his personal life

into the classroom.

Didn't have much of a personal life last
time I spoke to him. Look, I know you

want to tell my mate.

You're asking me to disrupt my staff
rotas.

I'll need good reason.

If Tom's behaved unprofessionally. I
don't want to meld him up in front of

kids. If he can't get them to himself,
then I don't want him in my class.

You can't blame a man feeling aggrieved
being thrown out of his home.

He doesn't have to force it down the
kid's throat, does he?

I mean, you need a trainee to be able to
shout for help, not lie through his

flaming teeth at you. I think it's a
lack of confidence.

Scared to admit there's something he
doesn't know.

I should know you'd be here.

Russell is really upset, Jack.

And let's face it, Grantley shouldn't
have even left him on his own. Well,

you're right there, but he lied to me.

He told me he was taking him to the
library.

I'm not trying to make excuses for him,
but he was embarrassed, you know. He was

trying to cover up.

Which is exactly what we need to teach
him not to do. Oh, for God's sake, it's

not like someone's died, is it? You're
allowing your friendship to interfere

with your judgement.

Has anyone ever told you that you can be
quite pompous? You have, on several

occasions. Well, at least I'm
consistent, aren't I? All right, calm

Look, can I not just mentor him, please?

Before Andrew puts him off teaching for
life?

No. He's based in the English
department. I want Andrew to keep an eye

I'm not getting it.

You're making it sound like he needs
babysitting.

He's a trainee teacher.

Perhaps he does.

Has she got the arts for him or
something?

I've spoken to Jack.

Everything's fine.

I'm not going to get six whacks of the
cane, then.

Did Mr Rimmery mention my little fib?

Yeah, he did.

Do you want more tea?

Do you think I should go and apologise?

No. Do you know what? Just wait until
things settle down a bit.

Settle down?

I thought you said everything was fine.

It is. Just forget about it.

I'm just frozen staring into space.

After that, the speed of light, I'm
holding on, I'm holding tight. Stars are

gonna crash into this place.

Let's call it widescreen so we don't
miss a thing.

Now I'm standing clean.

Mr. Treneman, about the incident...
Don't be too hard on yourself.

We all need help sometimes.

I suppose I'm just used to being able to
dish out the punishment.

That's the problem with teaching.

Our options are strictly limited.

So we have to make sure that we use them
judiciously.

Well, I've got a departmental meeting
next. Shouldn't be any problems there.

Me too, sure.

Is there anything else?

Something you'd like to talk about?

No. No, of course not.

I'm off to set up our work experience
week, but I'll be back later on if you

need a sanding board.

Team teaching timetables.

Looks like it's all changed.

Can we discuss this in private, please?

Don't dog me in it, will you?

I'm trying to keep the lid on things in
front of the kids.

You don't give a damn about the kids,
and certainly not your own. All you're

doing is worrying them sick.

It's a deep -hot mental meeting. Leave
my kids out of it. No, I won't leave

out of it because I care about them just
as much as you.

Shut up, Tom. Don't you tell me.

You're the one who should feel guilty
that this has happened. I do feel

You really are the limit. Listen to
yourself, Lorna.

Defending them, letting them live in
your house, spawning all over them.

you've got a sore bloody memory. That's
all I want to say.

Bye.

Right, this isn't easy, guys, but either
you sort this out for yourselves or I'm

going to have to sort it out for you.

I don't think anyone can do that.

Not unless they have a personality
change.

Either you leave your personal issues at
the school gate or one of you, or

perhaps two of you, have got to find
somewhere else to teach. Hey, hold on a

second. We've got a right to a private
life.

The problem with you lot is you can't
keep it private.

Your 11 .30's waiting.

Talking of private lives... Right, I'm
not having this.

One of you has got a fall on your sword.
Do I have to choose which one?

If I could leave, I would.

But I've got the issue of having two
teenage girls here.

Well, I'm not budging. I don't see why I
should.

I see.

So it all comes back to me.

Fine. You'll have my resignation by the
end of today.

Please, believe me, I'm not going out of
my way to find fault with Russell.

Right, but you're going to.

I saw him come out of an off -licence
not 20 minutes ago.

He looked... uncomfortable.

What, more uncomfortable than you do
now?

Why would he go to an off -licence in
his lunch break?

I don't know, erm... Maybe the same
reason that I go, to get tea bag or a

of milk. In the middle of the working
day...

Why don't you just come out and say it?

I mean, you've already made your mind up
about it, haven't you?

What, he's a raving alcoholic? That's
why he's bouncing off the walls, is it?

Just shows how much you know about
alcoholics.

What the hell do you know about it? A
lot more than you suspect.

Look, do you know what I suspect?

I suspect that you're actually jealous
of Russell.

Because you know that he's going to be
ten times the teacher that you are.

In the history of your cheap remarks,
that's just about the cheapest.

The only thing I feel when I see a good
teacher is relief.

And I think that Russell might just be
one.

It's just... He lacks confidence.

Well, he had the confidence to wade into
a domestic and get himself stabbed.

We need people who can stand back and
assess situations. Who knows, a

personality might have saved himself
from the assault.

Please forgive me, Miss Diggity, the
corridors are a bit of a warrant.

Hey, it's Mr Stumpy.

Did I hear my nickname?

You.

You called me Stumpy, didn't you?

So, I've got a limp.

You want to make something of it?

No, sir.

Really?

Then why did you call it out?

I don't know. I don't know.

Maybe it's because you're a moron.

Yeah. Good. Well, that's clear to
everyone now, isn't it?

What's your name?

Dante. Dante the Moron.

Um, if you can all turn to page 38 in
your anthologies, please.

Would you like me to read it, Miss
Diggity?

We'll make planned ideas.

Stealing.

The most unusual thing I ever stole.

A snowman.

Midnight.

He looked magnificent.

A tall, white mute beneath the winter
moon.

Looking for Brett?

No.

Taking down some old notices.

Yeah, we've always got some abuse,
haven't you?

And what's with your attitude, Missy?

Can't you see what you're doing to him?

Or do you just not care about anyone
else?

Excuse me?

Maybe you can't see how screwed up he is
over you.

Look, why don't you just stop playing
games and be straight with him?

Hi.

What have you said?

Wait.

Well, you've really done it now, haven't
you?

What's the one thing you missed of you?

To be discreet. I had to talk to
someone.

Mika won't tell anyone else.

Wish you'd better not.

God, I must have been totally loopy
picking up what you were doing.

A schoolboy, I mean.

Pathetic.

Well, this is me and you finished and
I'd wrecked your... Look, hang on. I

thought you weren't a girlfriend. You've
got one waiting up there.

Hey.

She's obviously breaking her heart for
you.

I thought you handled Dante Kells really
well.

How'd it go?

Yeah, I think Russell will make an
excellent teacher.

Yeah? And when you're qualified, you
might want to apply for my job. What?

You're leaving Waterloo Road?

I want a change of school.

I probably shouldn't say this in front
of you, Russell, but Waterloo Road can

quite stressful.

I'll find that out today.

There'll be plenty more days like it. In
fact, there'll be days when you're at

the depths of despair.

Yeah, but he's got what it takes, hasn't
he?

I mean it.

You know you said you think Anthony's
crazy.

I think you might be right.

You mean about him seeing me as a riot?

Yeah, but I don't, right, so it's all
accounts.

I don't know, Kim.

I don't want to make an enemy out of the
deputy head, do I?

I don't want him giving me a bad report
for my first teaching practice.

Well, if he does, he's going to have me
to answer to.

Anyway, what he's saying now is
ridiculous.

What's he saying?

I shouldn't really say, but...

He said that he saw you coming out of
the offy at lunchtime.

I mean, he's implying that you went in
there and bought a couple of bottles of

whiskey or something. Please breathe
into this bag, sir.

So he has got it in for me. Good, that's
all I need.

So, did you go to the offy?

I went for a walk.

I was starving. I went down to get a
Mars bar and a packet of cheese and

But maybe crisps and sweets aren't
allowed in Mr. Treneman's book of do's

don'ts. Yeah, and that is one big, fat,
thick book.

Anyway, look, I'll see you after the
final whistle, yeah?

Oh, there.

How'd it go down the housing department?

Brilliant. They've found somewhere for
Maxine.

Oh, well, that's great.

And it's been properly checked to full
council standards, and she gets visits.

You do know that you don't have to go
through the system on this, don't you?

If you're just happy with her to stay
where she is, the social services will

call it a private fostering agreement.

They'll let you claim Section 17 money
to help.

It's not about the money.

Well, I was just wondering.

So have you been down there to check it
out?

No, I'm going after school, aren't I?

I know. What does Maxine think of the
news?

She'll be thrilled.

What did you say?

Just coffee. Well, don't cough.

bit of alcohol.

Here's another one you should lock up.
See you tomorrow for more of the same.

I want to talk to you.

Should I have taken your advice?

But it was just a moment of madness.

That's all.

I swear that it will never happen again.

No, it won't.

Because you can't come back here.

In fact, I don't think you should be
near any children in any school.

Because you're out of control.

You're not going to say anything to
anyone, are you?

No.

Because you're going to have to.

What you gonna do when you're just found
forever?

Where you gonna get to when you can't
get it together?

Forever and a day A fly gets caught upon
a spider's web This

snake still has another skin to shed
Forever

and a day

Is it all a dream or have you just found
forever?

Get it all together, get like first of a
feather.

Forever and a day.

Time to turf me out onto the street,
then.

Well, you can get up off your backside
and tidy up this flaming mess for a

start. I've been packing.

Well, you can go and unpack.

I've changed my mind.

Are you joking? Why?

I'm warning you, Maxine.

One more step out of line and there will
be no more... even onion crisps.

And if I... put on as much as one extra
ounce because of all of your junk food.

You're out of here sharpish. Now go on,
hop it.

I invite her into my home.

She doesn't seem to care.

It's funny.

You seem to think that because you've
asked her to live with you that she

then give you something back in return
and I'm sorry, it just doesn't work like

that.

I might have known I was trying to do
another lame infirmity.

Aye, aye.

Pint? Mineral water for me, please.

Vodka and tonic. Can you make it a
double?

So, you think you've found your feet
yet, Russell?

You looked a lot more confident towards
the end of the day there. Yeah, alone I

couldn't have been any more flattering.

Actually, I think you lot create a bit
of a fuss about how difficult the job

I mean, think about it. You get 13 weeks
holiday a year, you don't work any bank

holidays and you're finished by four o
'clock.

And when you are at work, what do you
do? You read novels, mark essays, set a

few questions.

Well, you'll just have to take my word
for it, mate.

It's not everyone takes to a job like
this.

Because you guys create such a mystery
about it.

Hang on a minute. You're going to be one
of us lot, Steve. No, I'm not, Kim.

It's not stimulating enough for me. I'm
bored, frankly.

You are?

I could.

After one day?

No.

I wouldn't want to be taking a drink to
get my eyes, would I?

Russell, hang on a minute.

Wait.

This is down to you, this, innit?

Maybe you should talk to Fraser Crossley
before putting the blame on me.

I caught Russell beating him over the
head with his briefcase, which just

happened to be filled with booze.

Did he tell you?

I don't get it. You were always so anti
-violent.

Not with a drink in me, I'm not.

You see, all this time, I had no idea
that you... I've been dry for almost a

year.

Since the, um... accident.

I'd been drinking that day a lot if I
hadn't been there.

Well, put it this way, the kids wouldn't
be calling me stumpy.

Today I realised the only way I can cope
is vodka.

So, teacher or dry?

I know which one I prefer.

I think you're dead brave.

Yes, that was true.

Thank you.

I can't believe I didn't see the signs.

It just always seems so... together.

There's nothing wrong in giving a friend
the benefit of the doubt.

Please don't be generous.

I can't stand it.

I should have just listened to you.

I'm sorry.

Well, I'd better be going.

Otherwise you're going to have to carry
me.

I should be brushing up on my Jermaine
Greer.

One thing you were right about.

I was... jealous of Russell.

Not for the reasons you said.

Because... of your feelings for him.

What on earth made you think that?

Just something Jack said.

Andrew, I couldn't ever have the serious
feelings for Russell.

It's just... It'd get in the way of
what?

Well... Please, can we start again?
