Man, nearly had it. Almost bro, almost.

PDRT for life.

Oi. Your new name?

Yep. Cool.

This is my cousin, Hips.

I'm Nico, but everyone calls me Top.

What's your name?

Kiko, but everyone calls me Kiko.

Why do they call you Top?

I don't know.

Top goes to college.

He's in third form.

They won't let us play Boris at our school.

Stingy. Father did it at my old school too.

What?

We just said we were playing wash bowl and keep playing.

Mean. Did it work?

No, we got the tension.

Sting.

Up to you boys. Hey, Tom.

Stop. Stop.

This is Keith.

He's cool.

What's he reading?

Hamlet.

Whatever. He doesn't know what half of it means.

Yeah, he does.

Do you? Not really.

I learned a new rap song last night.

Oh, yeah? Is it a Nelly song?

You know he's got a blast on his face?

Why? Because it's cool. I made up my own box, eh?

What you got there, don't worry about me. I ain't trying to stare. I just want

to know what you've been cooking.

I'm going to eat it while you're not looking.

Did you just make that up when you were hungry?

Yeah.

I like NWA.

Yeah, that's the one, bro. Don't get him started on that. That's all he talks

about. Keith, can you freestyle?

Yeah, you can. Go.

Stop. Don't be too nice.

I can't help it. I'm like ice.

Far. That was mean.

Wanna be in our rap group? It's called B -T -I -G.

Boys that rap good.

Tops came up with the name.

We're gonna work on it.

Oi! That's not me.

Bring it in, boys.

B -T -I -G for life!

Yeah.

Yeah.

And no one like me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Congratulations.

You made it.

Welcome to the Crusader.

Been a long time coming, yo.

But I'm here now.

So what you want to do?

How many dudes you really know can flow like that?

Like that?

All right, guys, I'll just get you to close your books now.

And listen very carefully. I've got an important announcement to make.

And I want you to all know that I fought hard for you guys, but because of the

constant fighting that's been going on at lunchtime,

the school's decided to cancel the mid -year year eight disco on Friday.

That's bullshit, Mr. Harris.

I know, Kaiko, but my hands are tied. Also, language.

The whole of the year eights weren't a part of the fight, so why do we all get

punished? Look, I've fought for all of you guys, but it didn't help that you

were one of the boys involved in the fighting.

Hardly. He just punched some egg in the face. And he didn't even get a bloody

nose, so it doesn't count.

Actually, Hohepa, that very much counts. You can't cancel disco.

It's a violation of human rights.

How so, Tawari?

When you suppress people's right to dance, bad things happen.

Have you not seen Footloose?

What the fuck's a Footloose?

I'm sorry, okay, guys? That's the decision.

And it's final.

It's not fucking fair.

Kaiko, you need to sit down.

And my name's not... Kaiko, sit down.

Sit down.

All right.

We're all going to do haiku now. So that's, remember, five seconds.

Morning, morning, morning.

What the...

Anyway, morning everyone.

I would like to welcome Matthew to our project as an extra set of hands.

I've stolen him from repeat offenders.

Anyway, we have just got lumped with this pile of data that is going to have

be entered manually.

I know, I know.

but there were a large number of unaccounted -for youth offender cases

2012 and 2018 from regions where they haven't heard of computers, obviously.

So now it's up to us.

So, ethnicity first, followed by city, town, age, currently incarcerated, oh,

and remember, no names. You know the usual.

That was a bit of a mouthful.

Any questions?

I would like to acknowledge the fantastic work that everyone has been

into this report.

I mean, obviously, it's going to be groundbreaking.

Remember, my door is always open.

All right?

Thanks, team.

Well, who wants coffee?

I've done it.

I've booked a gym for Friday lunchtime.

I said that we're going to use it for choir rehearsals, but really, we're

to have a protest against the cancellation of the school disco.

A protest?

Yep, we're going to get the whole school into the gym, we're going to hype them

up, and then I thought Syphilis could do a protest rap to really get things

going. Oh, that's a mean idea.

I still think our new rap name is shit, though.

Syphilis is all good.

What does it even mean?

I don't know.

It's just cool.

Wait, so we have to write a whole protest rap in three days?

We're going to need tops.

Hards.

It's a rainy day.

I'm out here playing games.

While I'm listening to NWA.

My name is Kip, my girlfriend Kip.

Keep going.

Boys,

we need a hook.

You know, like Eminem.

Subscribe.

You know, like, how they kind of have, like, their hook.

What about... Motherfucker!

Is that it?

I don't know.

It's gotta be something catchy but about that disco thing.

What rhymes with disco? What?

Risco. Pisco.

Lisco. Those aren't even words, man.

Then what ideas do you have then, dick?

Oh, what about we just wanna disco, disco.

We're getting kinda pisco, pisco.

What's pisco?

Piss. Like...

Pissed off.

I like that.

Oi, Dick.

Mum wants your help with dinner.

The boys are here. You do it. No, I have nipple training.

Hey, Mum.

Cool.

Mum, come and help me before you go. Shame.

Bye.

I gotta go, boys.

Why? It's only like five.

I just have to.

All right.

Later, boys.

Later. Bye -bye.

You know,

the good thing about a marathon is that it helps clear your head.

Yeah, because all you can think about is why the hell you decided to voluntarily

run 42 kilometres.

For once, I think Matt is right on this one.

Actually, no, it's actually 42 .195 kilometres.

Exactly. 42 .195? Yep.

Nice.

Where are you running to?

What's the actual point? I agree.

I like to play sport that has opponents and you can crush them.

Did you guys know that the first person who actually tried to run a marathon

died?

Really?

Yeah.

Yes,

I can't put you through.

How fast do you think I'll be?

If I was to run from this wall and back?

I don't know.

How fast are you normally?

I mean, I'm pretty fast.

I'm pretty faster than you.

You want to bid on it?

See if I can put you through. Come on, Matt!

Pick up the speed!

Come on, Matt!

I gotta say that was heaven.

Heaven? Heaven, come on.

Oh, Kevin, man.

Yeah, calm down, man. We're going to practice a few E's today.

Relax.

I've got stuff to do.

Got the mics. You guys good to go?

Yeah.

We ready?

Cool.

What up, what up, it's our intermediate.

Thanks for coming out this lunchtime. I know the tuck shop had cheesy nachos for

sale today, so we've all had that sacrifice.

But that sacrifice is for all of us too.

Fight for our right to dance.

They took away our disco. What else are they going to take away? Our nachos?

Fuck them if they take our nachos.

That's right.

Hands off our nachos.

Yeah!

Today, we have a special performance. Give it up for...

Go into your office and make some calls.

Do what you have to. We don't care.

Go on and do it. We'll make it a day.

You don't want to give us a chance. All we want to do is fucking.

had to discipline students for starting a riot.

We were just exercising our rights, Miss.

Mr. Michaels, you are this close to being expelled. I would not put it with

Not only, Tay Whitty, did you organise this little gathering, but I heard that

your friends wrote a vulgar song.

It was a rap.

Excuse me?

It was a rap, not a song.

Whatever it was...

It involved profanity and derogatory statements about teachers at this

including myself.

And you, Mr... Who are you?

I'm Niku, but everyone calls me Tarp.

Are you a student at this school?

No.

Who let you in?

Oh, no, I just jumped the fence.

Mrs Evans, could I have a word, please?

Right, that'll be all for today, but don't think for one second that this

not be dealt with.

I will see you in my office first thing, is that clear?

Except for you, you will leave the premises immediately, and if I see you

again, there will be hell to pay.

Mr Thompson, can you stay behind, please?

Why does he have to stay behind?

That is none of your business, however.

Away you go.

Honestly, bro, I thought your principal was going to knock me out yesterday.

Do you reckon your father's going to get suspended?

Probably, but I've come to ask for a fair and honest trial representing

What about Cakes? Was he here?

Oh, haven't you heard?

He had to move up north with his father out there.

Why?

Don't know.

The police came, so it must have been serious.

Do we get a thing before he goes?

I think he's already gone. Well, that's when I'm sad.

What's gonna happen to syphilis?

You know what, they still got like a bottle of piss thrown at her the other

Oh my god.

Rose Maxwell.

What?

Hey, Ma.

Oh, hi.

Rude.

Sorry. Hey, Pua.

Hi.

Hey, how's Tuff?

Fine.

I heard he sold one of his paintings.

Oh my gosh, he sells one painting and everyone thinks he's Picasso or some

You know, fuck you guys are weird.

Shut up.

Auntie's waiting for the bus.

Oh, um, we just have to go visit a friend first.

Don't tell my mum, okay?

I won't say anything.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Of course. Come in.

How can I help?

I just wanted to talk about some of the data that we've been collating.

Okay.

I'm just finding some of it a bit difficult.

Okay.

Can you be a bit more specific?

The biggest pile is the Māori pile.

When I first came in 10 years ago, that was one of the things that really stood

out to me. So I think I share your concern.

Yeah, but some of these documents we're looking at have spanned about 10 years.

It just doesn't seem like things are improving.

Well, I think that the reports that we do here, the things we're working on

right now, they look to improve those stats.

But things...

haven't improved yet i think you

know with your strengths and what you bring to the team things will start to

improve okay

hey these are really important conversations to have and i really

coming to talk to me

All right then, bro.

Oh, and could you close the door on your way out?

Hey, you all good?

Yeah, all good.

Well, see, get in.

We've got to get you amped up for Max's mean Māori meme party.

Oh, shit.

I'm not going for that.

Eh?

You've got to come. You've got a costume and everything.

Hey, you all good?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm all good.

Papa. Papa. Papa.

The whole time I can't
