Original subtitles

Look, you're too young to hang around with boys.

My parents are just experiencing a bit of a cash flow issue.

You never worked in a kitchen before?

Only in prison.

I don't see what you're hiding in there.

That's what happens when you pick the wrong side.

I'll bet.

We take them down, one by one.

Rhi!

My ears are bleeding!

Your parents' evening, not mine. Like I've got nothing better to do than be

dragged back to that dump.

You've got 45 seconds to go and change and get that make -up off your face.

Yeah, yeah, don't tell me. I'm not your dad.

No, I was actually going to say, I hate you.

I hate

you.

We ride, when the only road's rolling We ride, when we get up in our feelings Do

what the phoenix do We ride, when we gotta get to town We ride, when we talk

under the ash We ride, all my friends gonna see this through Cause we just do

what the phoenix do We ride

We are surrounded by an air of positivity.

The universe is out to do us good.

I am feeling great about this parents' evening.

Same.

Have you thought about replacing the sofa bed in your office?

No. Oh.

Because it gives you, like, really tired, sad juju, and you don't want that

infested in your workspace.

We could go to Ikea at the weekend.

That new sofa, new energy.

You and me?

Unless you've got any other daughters hanging around you and told me about.

I do like those meatballs.

You should try Billy's cheese on toast.

It makes a sauce of, like, flour and... What?

She's a good cook.

Amazing what the teacher at Yonge offended. Mum!

Can we get back to how great I am feeling about tonight?

I've got a bad feeling about tonight.

Look, as long as you've done your best.

And all the dad cliches.

It's fine, Dad.

But there's something else. I am sorry that I can't be there.

In a bit.

Better? Perfect.

Would it kill you to smile once a day?

You know, when you smile, it pulls your brain into thinking you're happy.

I just called my boyfriend a convict.

Darcy's very handsome, isn't he?

Shame they lost everything.

You're a snob, Mum.

But we live in a three -bedroom semi in Coventry without a garage.

OK, Billy's changed.

Er, the thing is, Dad, I'm in a bit of trouble.

I never felt like a lamb to the slaughter.

How can you be this judgy to someone who's gone through a really hard time?

I do empathise, but face back.

He's got a temper like the Hulk in his dad -crop section.

You face back, so did I.

Miss Bailey.

She's got hazels, mate.

I told Mum to sign to all of the teachers and ignore them if they don't

back. I thought she weren't deaf.

She isn't.

How's your new place, Darcy?

Must be cramped.

Your whole family in a council bed sit.

All that hair's supposed to kill your last brain cell.

Come on.

Might as well start at the top.

I actually feel quite settled, miss.

I'm glad to hear it.

I'm going to go for that apprenticeship.

My dad's mate's an electrician, and he said...

I could earn, like, 40, 50 grand a year, one day.

If I properly graft.

What are you going to do with all that cash, Billy?

Flash car a bit.

Can you die from being buff?

I don't know.

Let's ask Miss.

Miss, has anyone ever dropped dead in your English class?

CK.

Get something from the vending machine.

Be back here at half past.

No later.

Your dad must be really proud.

You know, when someone gets distracted, her teachers say that she can close

down, get quite stubborn.

She gets that from her dad.

We're not together.

I'm an independent, single woman.

A very successful one.

Now, I'm trying to market Phoenix Rise to local businesses.

And once they see how hardworking all of the pupils are, they'll give them more

work experience.

And then jump for life.

Well, that's the plan anyway.

Maybe you could help.

Anytime.

By the way, I meant I'm single by choice.

But always blew it.

I need to know.

It looks like it came out the wrong end of a cat.

Like your tie?

What? I said I like your tie.

You're so jammy, getting out of this.

Look, you do it like this.

What's that?

Nothing.

Hashtag blessed.

Something's happened.

I'm psychic.

Look at mine.

I'd say you're constipated.

You know you are.

This is where you're hiding.

My mum and Mr Stewart are vibing.

The only thing that will drag her away is seeing me with you.

Charming.

No, like this one.

You're welcome.

Not bad.

Oi!

What do you want?

Are you okay?

As class president, I'm a big fan of charity.

But there's blonde dogs that walk people you can't see.

She looks obsessed.

Shall we get back to your dismal maths performance?

My grades are suffering because he only cares about roadmen and rejects.

Cassidy!

These grades really do need to improve.

See?

Someone filmed this and posted it without me knowing.

You sound amazing. What's the problem?

It nearly killed me.

Getting the guts to stand on the stage last year, ready to sing in front of the

whole school.

I don't like it.

You still love singing.

And people love to hear you, so maybe whoever did this did you a favour.

What is the comment? We are not reading the comments.

I'll make sure she reads two chapters a night until she's done.

Oh, could you point us in the direction of the social media teacher?

The who?

Sorry.

As it's the only subject Cassidy gets A's in, I thought we could end the night

on a high.

I, um, social media.

I think there's been a miss and a stand. It's supposed to be funny.

I find it funny.

Me too.

No wonder even your own flesh and blood can't stand you.

What's your name, Anna?

Who cares?

Is it just me, or does he look like he's going to poo his pants?

What have you done?

I want a word with you.

Now, my lad's like me.

Loves football, motocross, anything high energy.

Do you still play football?

Just five a side.

But I've been playing for a year, seven years running.

Until the past few months.

Anyway, we've moved, so... Well, Darcy's definitely inherited your skills.

He's a talented player.

Except he can be a bit laid back and undisciplined.

What, this one?

Have you ever tried yellow carding?

Has he ever told you about my cousin, Conrad Trent?

Played up front for Villa four seasons.

88 -91.

Never once got carded, let alone sent up.

Really? I'll look him up.

And that's for saying we're lazy.

I never... Do you know what it takes to build a business from nothing?

Focus.

Determination. Dad. No!

Because they're all the same.

Happy to sit there judging, turning their noses up, when really, kids like

have got more talent in their big toe.

Then you could dream up. By the end of next year, I'll have my two shots back

well as a number three. No, you won't, Dad. Darcy, you failed.

OK, why can't you just admit it?

There's no point standing there lying. Dad, it's over.

We're potless. The game's broke.

You know, we're senior trainers.

I'm starting to go from me.

What are you doing here?

Why you?

I got dragged along by my brother. Year 11 parents evening.

That sucks.

See you tomorrow.

Um, wanna see something sick?

It's secret, kind of like a private party.

No one knows it's there. No teachers, no parents.

A party with no people. Sounds like a dry party.

No one, except the people that are invited.

There's only six of them.

Amazing.

I'm going to get in there one day, and I'll be able to invite who I like.

Okay, Rihanna.

You never said why you were here.

Billy, it's both of you and Mr. Kothari.

See you.

Perky's been asking after you.

I think you've heard him.

What's happened?

If he stays away from me, we'll be fine.

Well, maybe you need to tell him that.

How's it going?

Same old.

Bill's a genius.

And he could be President of America if he's not snapped up by Elon Musk first.

Don't put yourself down.

There's enough haters who will do it for you.

Look at you, winking like you're green. It's just a bit.

Hey. Hey.

Okay.

Hey.

Got my dad. Everything.

Remember that?

See?

Finally. I bet you never saved me no crisps.

What else?

Everyone back to mine, then?

We're in.

Yes, bro.

I bet her.

So, how come you got out of parents' evening, then?

Oh, Mr Stewart having this one -to -one thing with my mum and dad.

Oh, yeah, of course he is.

You don't have to come, you know.

She said it's fine. Hurry before she changes her mind.

Hide me.

A new sofa?

Do you like it?

We love it.

How did you get it over here?

Ronnie's dad borrowed a van from his work and Bev let him in.

So you don't mind?

Don't start saying we've got to give it back.

Tell your mum it's really nice of her.

You could write her a thank you note.

There's no need for that.

I'll rest up at once.

Oh, Polly would have been buzzing tonight.

What would the teachers say, how hard she works?

I've left, like, seven methods with that pension museum.

Nothing. Like, they'll run off their feet.

Well, why are you handing them for?

It's the last place she was seen.

CCTV.

Seriously, put your cash away.

Oh, do me a favour.

Huh? Going on like you're something.

There.

Your favourite.

Prawn spirals?

Mate, it's just a few bags of crisps.

What are you doing?

Thank you, mate.

I hate prawn spirals.

Cool.

What happened?

Me too.

So me and you have a quick word?

Do you want to look at me when I'm talking to you?

You need Andy Tyson and you want to kill people for sitting in your chair.

You want to rinse me and then him with sticky spirals.

What is it with this kid, man?

He ain't the problem.

You are.

Me? I took the blame for you stealing that stupid buggy.

That's fine.

I'm an idiot for going along with it.

Then you go and key his dad's van.

Don't lie again.

I saw it.

You're on camera, you clown.

So what?

It's not like anyone got hurt.

Him and his family putting in their place.

Yeah? So what are you going to do next?

What, set a fire to his football boots?

Pull your head out, man.

How is all of this a me problem?

The kiddie gets you doing everything he can to try and wind me up, and yet you

can't even see it. You're chatting rubbish. She stole my life.

And I want it back.

No -one's took nothing off you.

You're D -dog.

Always will be.

Everything's changed.

No -one cares about your gums or how much you... Dad's house is worth.

No one who matters anyway.

Are you going to tell him about the van?

Under one condition.

You make an effort with him.

For real.

Yeah?

Yeah, okay, fine.

I'll try.

Good.

Try hard enough, he might let you borrow his trainers.

He's all right when he's not chucking crisps at your head. It's not me with

issue. Yeah.

Other than your massive head.

Has anyone ever told you your head is massive?

You're like my mum and dad.

They call it sexual chemistry.

I'll walk you home.

You don't know where I live.

I'm making a wild guess at things, Carl.

OK, well, don't try anything.

Ma 'am, how could I possibly resist?

See you later.

I swear that Karen Mackerson's been rigging those lingo balls.

Three weeks on the bounce, got 50 quid. She only wasted it on another terrible

weave.

Who's this, then?

Sleeping beauty.

There were loads of us here.

I was seeing the others out, and when I came back in, she was already sleeping.

Dial it down, William.

I just saw your pals leave.

What took a throw over her, then?

Leave her there.

All night.

Only a full mate's a sleeping woman.

But if she stops over... My dad's been trying really hard to keep his nose

with the social... I'll do you a deal.

You whack the kettle on.

I'll stay still.

Really?

I'm stopping over tonight.

I'm a very light sleeper.

You know what I'm saying?

And get us a couple of those biscuits ahead in the washing machine.

Figured they'd be safe in there.

All right.

You know,

I've got a mate who's part of the scouting team in Cobb City.

Not for real?

Keep your head down, zip that and practice till your feet bleed.

He might give you a trial.

What do you reckon?

Just prove you want it.

Up to you.

Apparently if you look at your phone before you speak to an actual human in

morning, you're 380 % more likely to be in a car crash.

Really?

Maybe. What are you looking at?

Did you post this?

No.

I learnt my lesson with all that stuff.

What are the comments been?

Positive, surprisingly.

What about you?

Did I do it?

So you hated it when you were on your own, but now someone else is sharing the

spotlight, you love it.

It does sound... OK.

Does it make sense?

You were never meant to be a solo artist. You're acting like you're in a

Like, um... Maybe we should go to the boiler room, in case anyone sees us.

Oi! Khaled!

Come on, son.

You know you're not allowed on site.

Fine.

Whatever.

Messing my socials again?

It'll be a lot worse than getting banned from this place.

Shut up, Katharine.

You shut up.

Mature.

Where's my charger?

Right, my mum will have lost her mind.

Can you say who stops at Rani's? She shouts at politicians on TV. She can

lines through the screen.

Wow.

Oh, Lord, you look... Well?

Er, 18 missed calls, 7 texts and 40 invoiced notes.

I need to get to school.

If she rings, do not answer.

Do you have to creep like that?

You're like someone on the run.

That sunshine is another story.

Your dad's asked me to put a load on. Any dirty stuff, chuck it down.

I'll draw the line at Bruce.

OK. And hurry up. You're going to be late.

Most of this is reality.

address to your dad?

It doesn't look like it's yours to give back to.

Anything you want to get off your chest?

Me, Dorothy and Caleb took a golf boogie.

It was just a prank, you know?

But the golf club are taking it seriously.

They're pressing charges.

I take it your dad's clueless.

He's got enough on his plate.

He's working all those long hours and he's got social services on his case

me and Ria.

It weren't even me that took the buggy, it was Darcy.

So let him cop the flack.

He's got a lot on his plate and all.

Is he really worth getting sent to a young offenders for?

What?

You're going to jail?

No, no.

Fine, Billy, just leave me.

I'm so sorry. She fell asleep. I didn't want to wake her.

Hazel Bailey.

She had the school record for years.

Shut it, Bev. I know you're angry.

Trifurious. As well as disgusted.

Who are you calling disgusting?

Really was telling the truth.

Fell asleep in there.

I slept there.

I can vouch for her. I won't stand for any funny business.

What, you?

Bogey Bev?

I won't let you chaperone a melting ice cream.

Hold on.

Is that my sofa bed? From my office?

She didn't know.

No, I didn't.

But keep it. It's just another nail in your coffee.

What does that mean?

Look around you, Billy.

I thought you were just bad news, and now I find out you're a charity case.

I'm not sure which is worse.

Mum, be quiet.

I didn't ask for the sofa.

Someone deserves better.

Out. Now.

I'm so sorry, Billy.

You've always thought your doo -doo don't stink, even though your house was

roughest on the block.

away from my daughter.

You think Billy's a loser now?

What about when he goes to jail?

Rihanna? Go on, tell him.

He's going to defend us.

Billy?

It's coloured alright. Going undercover is never a bad idea.

Someone's going to end up laying him out.

I'm never going to make you happy, Mum.

Run. The Cobb City Scouts, we want to see you play.

Seriously.

We cop in the morning.

We ride when the early bird fall in. We ride when we get up in our feelings. Do

what the phoenix do. So of course we ride when we got to get to class.

We right When we fuck under the ashes We right All my friends gonna see this

through Cause we just do what a phoenix do We right
