See you next time.

Have this lot sorted, Mr Rimmer.

And I, for one, will be more than happy working for you.

I could kill the mad old sod.

Start taking over the charge of the Light Brigade mid -gallop.

You'll be glad of the extra remuneration.

Oh, yeah.

I've got an ex -wife and two college fees to fund.

I'd rather find a deputy to do the work for me.

I did find this promising candidate in the apps file, though.

Do you think you can arrange a meeting for me after hours?

In your office?

No, in my other office.

Most of the time I just need to throw them out, you know.

Andrew Treliman.

Jack Rimmer.

What can I get you?

Uh, deputy headship?

Take a seat.

Yeah, well, anyone can teach the privileged, eh?

Well, like...

You see, the last time I applied, I was told that my methods wouldn't go down

too well on your page.

Incompatible with the comprehensive ethos.

Yeah, well, the man who told you that is now sectioned under the Mental Health

Act. What we've got now is a struggle to keep the padlocks off the gates.

I mean, you say you're up for a challenge.

All most our kids leave school with is an Asper or a bun in the oven.

How many pupils do you currently have on behaviour agreements?

Hmm? They're seriously disruptive?

You've presumably tried to progress them through the stages.

Well, this is it, Andrew.

This is the task ahead, right?

Why, I think I've found the right man to help me turn the place around.

Cheers, darling.

You'd be prepared to give me a free hand?

And your full support?

Absolutely. Whatever it is you need, you tell me.

OK.

Deal. I accept.

Delighted, Andrew.

And you can start in a month.

Don't say why not.

In that case, welcome to Waterloo Road.

Cheers. Cheers.

Can you tell him that we want to change table three and say I'll call him back

at lunchtime?

Yes. Clarkson.

Right.

Fine. Thank you.

Meetings and events aren't available before 9 .30.

Anyway, you agree with me, don't you, if anyone needs to be sat right at the far

end? Aren't you having any breakfast?

I'm looking for some support here, Tom. Well, your Uncle Reg could spoil the

whole wedding.

It's not worth crying over.

What, you don't think your Uncle Reg's personal hygiene's a problem?

Lorna, I'm the problem, aren't I?

Well, at last.

I've had to worry about every little detail to get this organised on time,

I haven't complained about.

Maybe it would be better if we just cancelled it.

Cancelled it?

Well, seriously.

If it's causing you so much stress.

I'm hardly not coping with it, am I?

And luckily for you, Tom Clarkson, I'm a very organised person.

Cancel the wedding.

Your brother's already in the air.

I think you'll find that belongs to him.

I just need the furs.

What's your problem, mate? I saw you take it. Tell him to pay up. You want to

cue that man for your shoot?

Hand it over and pay up. This is mine.

I'll tell you when it's Stephen.

When it's Stephen.

It's Dante's. Go on, please.

Did you hear me? He's got this boy's ticket.

And the police might want to be involved in this.

What? Death and assault.

There are plenty of witnesses.

You saw this boy kick this other boy, didn't you?

But what about you?

See? We can go and shove it. I think not. Could you dial 999, please? Hey,

off!

Mika, will you have some toast?

No, I'm sad.

Wait, well, what about a banana?

Mum? Chugged up with some yoghurt.

Mmm, lovely.

I was nagging. No wonder Dad left.

Yeah, it had nothing to do with his 23 -year -old bimbo.

Well, why can't he come back?

Look, Mika, I'm sorry, but he doesn't want to.

What? Are you saying you'd let him if you did?

Nicker.

Mum, can I have half of next week's pocket money now?

Forget it, Chloe.

Oh, but I want to buy someone a present.

I know who you want to spend your money on, and I wish you'd hurry up and grow

out of them.

You don't have to fancy who I fancy, do you?

I know, darling, but it's just not good enough for you.

Come on, we've got to get going.

Come on, mister.

I presume you're aware of what happens if you lie, Glee.

Problem? Uh, yeah.

Hello, officer.

Theft and assault on this chap here. I've made our citizens arrest.

Oh, yeah?

Look, he's a liar, yeah? He assaulted me.

That's not true, is it, Glee?

Tell the truth.

Let the lad speak for himself.

Well, Donty kicked me.

And then he stole my bus pass and all.

Right.

And you are?

Donty Charles.

This is the last time I'll have to introduce myself as Miss Dickie. Eh?

To our new deputy headmaster.

Or maybe I'll just say I'm Lorna Clarkson after all. I soon will be.

Don't do that.

You think it's bad luck?

You're even more of a worrier than me.

Look, Lorna... How's his fancy footwork coming along? No match for mine yet. I

might have to marry you instead, Izzy.

Don't worry, I'll slap him into shape.

You, lunchtime detention.

Do you think we should invite the new deputy headmaster to the reception?

Lorna... We're going to be seeing him every day for the next whatever.

Just calm down, yeah? But, um, if he's good -looking and single, yes, please.

Morning, Mr Clarkson.

I'll catch you later.

Listen, Lorna, we can't do this.

I can't marry you.

What? I mean it.

I can't. It's not right.

What? I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

How can a whole busload of kids simply disappear? It's like something out of

bloody Doctor Who.

Mystery over.

What's happened? Sir, Donty Charles has been arrested.

Settle down.

I said settle down!

Jade, Kayleigh, give out the textbook.

We think it wasn't really anybody's fault.

Because what went wrong was all down to faith.

Like when Garrett Hartgate missed that penalty.

Mr Clarkson, could I have a quick word, please?

Miss Dickie wants a quickie.

All right.

Discuss.

You've got to tell me you're joking, darling. We can't do this now.

All the years we've been planning for this, you can't just suddenly cancel it.

I'm just trying to do what's best for us.

I don't want it, honestly.

I just don't think things are going to work out for us anymore.

It's because of me, isn't it?

No. You think I've been turning into a wire. You're not dreaming me for

anything. I've been so uptight trying to make everything so perfect.

It's not just the wedding.

Look, I promise you I'm just going to lie down and enjoy it.

If you care where your Uncle Reg is.

I care about is you and me being happy together.

This is it.

I can't make you happy anymore.

Of course you can.

You'll make me the happiest woman in the world.

It's over.

Not just the relationship.

The wedding.

It's me.

Hello,

is there Mr Ramone?

On the phone.

And you are?

Yes,

we do care about the behaviour of our pupils.

I think I'd better... Look, we're sorry about your bus schedule being

interrupted. You'll just have to knock louder.

Look, we are not in a position to offer compensation.

I don't think Mr. Rimmer's going to take too kindly to you listening in on his

private conversations.

Yes, who is it?

Well, why don't you get the bloody parents to pay, then? They're the ones

brought them up.

You can't be serious. Look, from what I understand, this was a minor incident.

It's been blown out of all proportion by some daft, have -a -go hero. Oh,

headmaster.

Do what you want, then.

Joker. Trying to tell me they're not going to bust our children for school.

sorry about being late.

You know, I brought you here to set an example, and on your first day... The,

uh, have -a -go hero?

You're winding me up, aren't you? I witnessed a crime, and I felt duty

intervene.

Your duty is to this school and to this headmaster. Haven't we also got a duty

to the pupils?

I mean, to, uh, face them with the consequences of their actions.

Listen, Andrew.

This school is bang flat in the middle of Hootlandland. It may not suit the

educational psychologist to say it, but it's a hard fact.

Making a bus ticket, well, it's not worth giving me a bloody headache over.

Jack Rimmer.

Oh, great, the Rochdale Gazette.

Yes, I am aware of the incident.

Yeah, of course we have an anti -bullying strategy.

Police have got an anti -crime strategy. It doesn't stop it happening.

I am not being complexed.

Sorry you had to take my clerk.

That was good timing.

Hi.

I just thought I'd introduce myself.

Kim Campbell, head of pastoral care.

Welcome to Waterloo Road Comp.

Glad to be here.

So, a bit different from your old school?

Just a bit.

I think you'll find that the children here don't really like being regimented.

They must be different from all the other children I've taught them.

Yeah, it might be a little bit of a shock.

But don't let me put you off.

You go right ahead and... OK.

I went, I'm coming after you, mate.

He was sweating himself.

What's your own man gonna say?

I reckon I'll be well wound up, man. And what I do mean proper.

Hey, let's see what it feels like.

You.

Not too...

Together till death.

Are you trying to take advantage of me because I'm drunk?

Are

you

telling me there's somebody else?

Tell me, is there somebody else?

You liar!

Tell me, is there somebody else? No.

About lunchtime.

We'll have to do it in the art room. The gym's got the chairs out.

Lorna?

You can't mean it, Lorna. It doesn't make any sense.

Do you think he's got someone else?

No. I think he's totally committed to you.

It was just last minute and I thought... There's got to be something else,

Lorna. There's got to be something that he's not telling you.

Oh, my God, is he?

What? It couldn't be cancer, could it?

What? No, it's his father. Prostate cancer last year.

Tom thought it might be hereditary.

Come on. Well, if he'd got cancer, he would have told you that.

Look, look, go on home and I'll get somebody to cover your class.

Of course I will.

I'll kill myself if it leaves me. Lorna, I'll talk to him and find out what's

going on. I promise.

Come on.

Outside.

Outside, please.

I want an orderly queue formed here, please.

My name is Mr.

Trennaman and I'm your new deputy head.

I'm also here to help teach you English.

Who is Sarah Gilbert?

Down the front there, please.

Kelly Cathcart.

Down the front, the other side, please.

Sir, my name's Stacey Walsh and me and Kelly always sit together.

Yes, you always get great ease together, too.

Third desk on the right, please.

Kevin Hogan.

Back left, please.

Nadia Adamson.

Second desk in the middle. Mark Hines. Anthony Hedges.

Louise Pallett.

Louise Pallett. Ben Crossley.

Third desk on the right, please.

Right at the front.

Oh, dear.

My first detention.

A detention does the same crap.

haven't asked you to.

That's a hard and fast rule of mine.

If you want to say something, you put up your hand.

Other than that, I expect silence.

You'll use your lunchtime today to catch up on your spelling.

No way, man.

You've just broken my rule again.

Tomorrow we'll do some comprehension.

Listen, you're picking on me. Gosh, we are going to be seeing a lot of each

other. If I were you, I'd want to keep at least one lunch break free this week.

Sorry, Dante, it interrupted your lesson.

I hate to think of your parents' hard -earned taxes going to waste.

So, let's get on, shall we?

Okay, ladies and gentlemen, exercise books out, please.

There's this new teacher and he's picking on me. You really are a pest,

You can have this back on Friday.

Are you speaking to me, Dad?

I don't care who you're speaking to. And in the future, will you please ask your

dad not to call you in my class?

If we hadn't been gazumped, we'd be enrolling our daughter in Kingsbury

this morning.

Ah, well, you'd be pleased to hear that we've just poached their head of English

for my new deputy.

Andrew Trenneman?

Yes, we know.

The only reason Nicholas persuaded me to give you a trial.

Well, we'll be delighted to offer Lucy a place here, Mrs Seymour. Of course, we

totally believe in the comprehensive system.

So many people do, Mr Seymour.

And then they move house to avoid it.

Well, they find God.

We know we're just as guilty as the next, but how can we condemn our

this? 52 % haven't reached a satisfactory level in basic reading

I was 55 last year, wasn't I?

I'm sure Lucy's got no worries there.

I mean, the great thing about coming to a comprehensive is she's going to see

another side of life.

And it's the greatest prep going for Oxbridge these days, so I hear.

Anyway, let me show you around. I'm sure that Mr. Treneman will be keen to make

your acquaintance.

I think that Scared would be Radley at first because he's so different to her

and Jen.

And she doesn't properly... Oi!

Your son wants his mobile back.

Excuse me?

Yeah, I'm going to give it.

Get out of my class.

Just give me Sonny's mobile back. That's not going to happen.

It isn't a request.

Can I have your attention, class?

This is what's known as a thug.

You what?

Now you know why his son is a bully and a thief.

He's not a... Go on!

Certainly well equipped with computers.

Yeah, one in every classroom, see?

And electronic whiteboards.

Private sector's lagging behind us there.

See? Government's kept some of its promises.

This place isn't so bad.

Bankings, we don't have them.

I think you'll find they're missing their head of English, see?

Why don't I get Mr. Trenneman to come out and chat to you?

Ah, Miss Haydock, would you like to show our guests around your new language

lab? Maybe Lucy likes to try on your headphones.

Of course, headmaster.

Perhaps you'd like a go. It's a lot of fun.

What's going on in there? Well, guess it, Nick.

We're going to have to try somewhere else. Look, there's really no need.

How's Lorna?

Hey. Somebody said she had to go home.

Another of her migraines?

Oh, right.

Thanks.

Right, well, I hope she feels better soon.

Please, please.

Stupid prat man.

He made a right arse of himself, hadn't he?

Been brilliant to have done it.

Suppose he goes down for it? Nah, your dad'll do him if he presses charges.

Look, I'd better go.

Just tell us not to get lost.

Oh, yeah. Get another load of detention.

Bothered? Do you want me to come and tell him? Nah, see if he's chucked me

in the nick.

I'll slit his throat for him.

Snooty little sod didn't even have an apology for me.

The job should have been yours, mate. It's not too late.

Hmm.

Treneman's welcome to it.

So long as he doesn't go double in my workload.

If you ask me, we need to recruit a division of preparers if they want us to

drill anything into those little brickheads.

Yeah. Tom.

Hi, Grantley.

We need a chat.

Can I have a pint of lager, please?

Another filly night, please.

Grantley. Mm -mm.

I'm off to lose a tenner.

Have you got cancer?

What? Just happy, Tom, or not?

No, of course I haven't.

Have you got any ulcer, disease or medical problem?

Not that I'm aware of.

Well, then you've definitely got somebody else, haven't you?

Come on, Tom, don't muck about.

Since when does a bloke blow out a whole relationship in a shared mortgage to go

and cope on his own?

I haven't got somebody else.

Then why the hell can't you marry Lorna?

I told her why.

Well, then you'd better sit down and tell me.

Because this is not stacking up.

Sergeant Hendy.

I need.

Make you happy at this, do you?

I'd rather leave it to you chaps.

Dear, oh dear, Clarence. I've been throwing your weight around again.

Three times he punched my colleague here, in front of a classroom of 16

-olds. Is that right?

Oh, by the way, you do not have to say anything, but anything you do say... No,

don't bother.

I'm guilty, I hit him.

He's a totter.

I confess, all right.

Not surprising, given there were 30 witnesses.

Well, that was easy.

Take him down to the station and charge him.

Get off.

Get off.

With his previous, you won't be seeing him again this side of 2010.

Good.

Um, I'd better be getting back to my classroom. I've got Dante Charles in

detention. Great.

More hassle.

Sorry? I must have been off my truck recruiting you.

You've only been here half a day. That's the second time you've had the police

around. I'm sorry? I had two reject parents from your Kingsbury College in

morning, this close to their daughter giving us a boost at the league table

until they heard the rumpus coming from your classroom.

You lost them. No, you lost them!

Are you trying to sabotage me? I'm trying to help you establish zero

of bad behaviour.

That's how you'll attract more middle -class parents, by laying down some

and damn well sticking to them.

Which is what I'm off to do.

You carry on like this, you're going to have a punch -off every week. That's

what it takes.

I've got a stomach for it.

But if every decision I take is going to be undermined by the very person who

should be giving me his support...

Look, Izzy, this is none of your business. It's between me and Lorna.

I've just had to try and talk her out of killing herself.

I'm supposed to be a bridesmaid on Saturday. I've been involved in every

detail of your wedding from day one.

I'm sorry.

You don't just suddenly tell the woman you're going to marry that you're not in

love with her anymore.

What the hell else do you do?

Lie and go ahead with it.

Well, you're obviously lying about something here.

I thought I loved her, didn't I? What?

And then suddenly this morning you realised you didn't. No, not just

It's obviously myself I've been lying to you.

I feel sick about it.

If you'd been having second thoughts, you should have said something to Lorna

straight off.

I'm just trying to do the right thing by now.

I hope one day she'll be glad about it.

Get real.

There is someone else, isn't there?

Fine.

Do you want to make me say it?

Yeah, there is.

Oh, Jesus, Tom. I knew it.

Who is it?

Well, if you're so bloody clever, you should be able to work it out, shouldn't

you?

Work out what?

Is it?

Is he white? Shut up, Tom.

You should have, should have talked about it. You're going to talk to Lorna.

Look, please.

You can't leave it like this. Well, I can.

Just don't you ever tell Lorna what you just told me. It's the truth.

I love you.

I want you to tell me the truth now.

Tell me what you really feel about me.

Don't you dare think of blaming any of this on me.

How do you know if I quit work?

Um, I'd rather you didn't use my first name in front of the pupils.

What state secret is it?

Perhaps you haven't heard of the old English proverb, familiarity breeds

contempt.

No, no, you got me there.

Maybe I should have gone to a posh school like yours. Whatever advantages

had, I'm trying to share them with these kids.

I'm beginning to understand why I got a punch in the mouth.

Wait a minute. I haven't got time to discuss your hang -ups. I need to speak

Dante. I've had a social worker on, and he's going to have to go into care

tonight. Crack it.

Why?

Because his father's in a police cell.

He's a single parent.

The mother walked her up four years ago.

He's brought his son up on his own.

Oh.

Did you not think of the consequences before you decided to confront him? He

assaulted me. What is it about this place? You've lost sight of what's right

wrong. I'm not going to be elected. You've got a school full of kids. They

create hell and get away with it. Thanks to teachers like you explaining it

away.

Have you any idea what we're dealing with at Waterloo Road?

70 % of our kids are from single -parent homes. Doesn't mean they shouldn't

behave themselves. No, it doesn't. It causes difficulties.

22 of our kids are on ASBOs.

God knows what percentage are on drugs. We've got the highest underage pregnancy

rate in the whole country.

Basically, we're talking poverty. If you lower your expectations of what poor

kids can achieve, they're going to stay poor.

Yeah, and meanwhile, in the real world, we've got a kid about to go into care

because of your back -to -basics rubbish.

Oh, another statistic for you.

Over 50 % of kids in care end up in prison. So well done, Andrew.

Made such a difference already.

Kim, obviously I don't want the boy put into care.

Hi,

we're looking for Clarence Charles.

He was a lawyer?

No, I'm his pastoral care teacher, Kim Campbell.

This is Mr. Treneman, the victim of his assault.

Can we speak to him?

He's not the chatty type.

We've got a proposition that he'll want to listen to.

Mr. Campbell, what are you doing in here?

Oh, I suggest you sit down, keep your trap shut, and your ears open, Charles.

We both hear these sons better.

He's the thief.

Have you ever had to confiscate anything from Dante, Mr. Charles?

Presumably as a punishment for something?

Yeah, sometimes.

Right, well, while your child is at our school, we treat him like our own child.

Yeah, we care for him and, like a parent, sometimes have to discipline

Do you think he should have been using his mobile phone in the class?

He had his reasons.

And so did 29 other pupils, which is why nobody is allowed to use their phone.

Surely you can see that.

He called me a thug.

That's how you behaved.

What do you call someone who punches people in the face for no good reason?

Look, I'm not proud of what I've done, right? I lost it.

But if my boy asked me for backup... You need anger management classes, Mr

Charles. Yeah, and I'm going to get him inside, aren't I?

And while you're inside, your son is going to be bedding down in a local

authority home.

Look, I'm prepared to give you a second chance.

Drop all charges if you're prepared to cooperate.

Today there was a very serious assault on a member of my staff.

The man who assaulted him would like to say something.

My name's Clarence Charles.

I want to apologise to Mr Treneman and anybody in his class for my assault on

him this morning.

I was out of order and he could have got me sent to prison and my son Dante put

into care.

So I'm very lucky to be let off because it's not worth it for a stupid mobile

which shouldn't be used in lessons.

Right son?

And I'll see he doesn't do it again, Mr Rimmer.

I'll give you my word.

Thank you.

Just so you know, this is now a zero -tolerance school for violence against

teachers.

There's a big sign going up outside the gates.

We always prosecute violent parents.

And we will exclude any pupils whose parents assault my staff.

home and tell your mums and dads.

I'm not having it.

Teachers, dismiss your tutor groups.

Thanks for saving the day, Kim.

I suppose I should thank you too.

If you want to.

Oh God, you're tricky.

Come on, son, let's get something to eat. I've got a lot to talk about, yeah?

You what?

Just disrespected me in front of the old school.

They're going nowhere with you.

Er, Lorna, can I ring you back? I'm driving.

Sorry.

Get out.

Please, just listen to me.

Hurry up.

I've been fighting these things for months.

Honest. But it's not a daft crush.

You're the point of my day.

I've tried to get you out of my head. Well, try harder.

Well, that's all you've got to say.

What do you want me to say?

Move in.

I want to know what you want in your life, Izzy.

Because I don't think I've cooked up these feelings all by myself.

Do you know what's almost funny?

You don't know the first thing about my life.

Fact, I don't have a bloody life.

I've got a job and two kids and that's all I can cope with. So why don't you

take your feelings away from me and give them back to Lorna.

Now go.

Go.

Hi, girls.

Night, Izzy.

What do you want?

Nothing.

The bride is sat in our car, then.

It's none of your business.

Have you two had an argument?

Mum.

Mum!

I'm talking to you! Well, I'm not talking to you.

Yeah, just a minute.

Izzy, I'm really sorry to bother you again, but I have to know, did you speak

Tom?

Yeah, I did.

And you're going to have to promise me that you won't tell Tom what I'm going

tell you.

I think he's just worried that he's lost the old you.

Is that what he said?

Yeah.

Thanks, Izzy.

Lorna?

Lorna?

Come here.

I just want to prove to you that being married doesn't mean not sexy.

Look, what I said today... Yeah, I know I've been a little hung up lately.

But not anymore, I promise.

I don't think this is a good idea.

Your foxy lady's back and she wants her now.

I've still got some marking to do. You're nearly as bad as me.

Come on, tiger.

You see, you do still love me.

I need to show.

I need to hear you tell me one more time just to be sure.

Is there any chance for me with you?

Any chance at all?

Hello?

Is this clear enough for you, Tom?

You've got no chance.

To my big brother, Ian, for coming all the way over from Sydney, Australia, to

be the best man.

To my nieces, Katie and Sarah, for being such beautiful bridesmaids.

And for all their hard work and unstinting support, the best woman and

friend, Izzy.

Only she knows how much Lorna and I owe her for helping us be here today.

She's been our rock.

And, uh... Well, she knows.

So, ladies and gentlemen, if you'll join me in raising your glasses.

To the best man and the bridesmaids.

We should all have been at this wedding.

Your mum said you didn't want to go.

I didn't want to go because she wouldn't go with you.

Can't stop me taking you out for treats, though, eh? You must have had a good

time. When?

I'll fix something up.

Why don't you go back to Shelley, Dad?

I don't think so.

Well, why don't we all go back to Dad?

Don't be daft.

We're fine as we are here.

We are.

For fuck's sake, make us 16.

She could join the army and get killed in Iraq.

Thanks.

You reckon your mother wouldn't mind?

Only watching telly.

I'll have to check with her first.

Who cares what she says?

Hey.

I mind you. She'd probably accuse me of spoiling her evening.

I'll just see where Shelley's at.

I first met Lorna when we were students.

He found me crying my eyes out in the Union Lodge because I'd had my handbag

stolen and all I wanted to do was walk under a bus.

But Lorna said it might be better if I reported the theft, cancelled my credit

cards, applied for an emergency subsistence grant and let her buy me a

Well, that's my idea of a true friend.

And so's my other best mate there, Tom.

In fact, I'd say he was the perfect man.

If only he'd give up Man City and support Newcastle.

Anyway, they're perfect together.

So, to Lorna and Tom.

To Lorna and Tom.

All right.

Don't they make a lovely couple?

Yeah, great.

I reckon we will too, don't you, Jack?

Huh?

Well, I'm going to be getting you on that dance floor, don't you worry. And

wriggling out.

You'll be in bed at 11 .30, right? Yeah, see you fast, Dad.

I'm not going to think I might go to bed now.

See you soon.

See you, Dad.

Lock the door.

Good night, babe. Night.

Gunter?

I'm free.

Finally.

to drop the upper class twit at four on the second.

Technically, I'm middle class. My dad's a dentist.

Twit, obviously, can't be helped.

Come on, sit down.

Have a drink.

Tell me something else I don't know about you.

Well, uh... Did BSO in Rwanda?

That must score a merit in your books.

From Rwanda to Waterloo Road.

You like a challenge, don't you?

Actually, I'd much rather everyone just did things my way.

Oh, I don't intend on giving you an eagle eye.

I gathered that.

Do you fancy a twirl, Kim?

Oh, all right. Thank you.

Ta.

You've been so brilliant, Izzy. Oh, shh. No, you have.

He wouldn't even be here today if it wasn't for you. Oh, come on. Tom would

come to his own senses.

Anyway, he did.

And that's what matters.

Talk about scary, though.

I should have expected him to do a last -minute wobbly on me, though, shouldn't

I? Do you remember his 25th? He wouldn't even let me send out invites.

It's like he's allergic to even saying a word tomorrow.

Well, he signed up for it today.

Look, um, I'd better go and check on Jimmy and the girls.

Jimmy, is everything okay?

What?

Wait a minute, I can't hear what you're saying. What?

What do you mean you've gone home?

And here's one to get you all in the romantic mood.

I think you've had enough of me, Sator. No, I haven't.

Though it's breaking every rule I've obeyed.

My racing heart.

Yeah, I'm coming!

Pamela, gone to bed.

You've had it, Chloe.

Yeah, yeah.

You're looking fine, girl.

Come, Chloe, what are you waiting for?

That's what you're waiting for, Ada.

Thank you.

You all right?

Yo, yo, yo, fasten your seatbelts, man. It's time to party.

I thought

you

quit the fax.

Oh, well, I lied, didn't I?

What's up?

Just the usual.

Jimmy.

I've got to get back to the girls. I've called a cab.

Like I told you, my mess of a life.

Anything I can do for you, is it?

Any time?

What I read today.

About you and Lorna.

I meant it.

I just want you both to be really happy.

I know that.

I'm really going to try and make it work.

Well, you better have.

Oh, just stop.

Please. Please.

Do you know what I'm doing? Hold that cab.

Miss Redpath, can you drop your head off on your way home?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, okay.

Good night.

You're looking sexy tonight, girl.

Turn the music up, mate. Come on, turn it on. All right, chill, chill.

Is that loud enough?

There you go.

See,

the problem with you is that you don't even think you've got a problem.

Education isn't a science. You can't just put X and Y together and get Z.

All children are different.

Are they so different? I like to emphasise what makes them the same.

Oh, you can't. Sorry, Andrew.

Yes? Are you sober?

Yes, why?

Well, I'm not.

I've just had a call from the cops. There's been some incident at the

Hey, Chloe, you drinking tonight?

Hell yeah.

How you doing, man?

Hey, oh, come in the front.

You did it.

You all right?

Yeah.

Getting through.

three teenagers from the estate.

Every blasted thing they could swing a hammer at.

Pretty purposeful.

It is year eight. Worked on this for weeks.

You see what we're up against now?

This is the aggro we have to deal with day in, day out.

Just... Fill in another insurance claim. That's all you can do.

I could get my hands on the little scum myself.

I've had it up to here with them.

Come on.

Look around you.

It's too late.

All you can do is pick up the pieces.

What, so we just write them off, do we?

You've got no idea, have you? Listen to yourself.

If you really don't believe that we can make a difference, Resign.

Walk away.

Let them rot.

What is it with you? Why are you doing this?

Well, it's not for the money. Why?

Because... this is the career I chose.

And kids like these have most need of good teachers.

Teachers who've...

Don't underestimate them.

There's plenty of proof it's possible to turn schools like this around.

You don't know what it's like to stand in front of a class every day and to

that not one child, and I mean not one, will even reach grade E.

Well, let's make that our first task.

One grade E.

At key stage four.

It's an improvement, isn't it?

We could be really ambitious and make it a D.

Our school could be closed by the end of the year anyway.

So we have a deal?

I can't make deals without a drink in my hand

What are you doing in there?

Having a fight.

Broke a glass and knocked the bin, sorry.

Oh, it's just as well I'm not waiting to lose my virginity tonight.

Blame Grant the budgeon.

No wonder his wife eats for two, all he does is drink.

It's funny you should say that.

because somebody else is eating for two now.

Nobody can say that's why we got married, can they?

She couldn't have been forced by a fact she didn't know about.

That's why I made myself wait until tonight.

So I knew you really wanted to marry me.

What are you saying?

You don't talk to her like that. Talk to her? Ow, ow, walk me out!

Feeling naughty, Miss Haydock?
