<c.yellow>Your mum would've been so proud</c>
<c.yellow>seeing you look so grown up.</c>

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:06,960
<c.yellow>So, so proud.</c>

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:10,960
<c.yellow>She knew you were special.</c>

00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,320
<c.yellow>This could be the first step</c>
<c.yellow>to the job</c>

21
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,960
<c.yellow>you're gonna do</c>
<c.yellow>for the rest of your lives.</c>

22
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,960
<c.yellow>Kind of important, don't you think?</c>
<c.cyan>Why?</c>

23
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,960
<c.yellow>Why? Because your job</c>
<c.yellow>gives you your purpose.</c>

24
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:04,960
<c.yellow>It's a part of your identity.</c>

25
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:08,320
Lad, we're not like you.
We don't think you job defines you.

<c.green>See you Friday, la!</c>

34
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:28,960
Look, I don't need any muppets
telling me what to do with my life.

35
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:32,960
I'm sorted. I'm starting a joinery
apprenticeship soon as, lad.

36
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:34,960
<c.cyan>Yeah, Philibert, think about it.</c>

37
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:36,960
<c.cyan>How many doors are there</c>
<c.cyan>in the world?</c>

38
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:37,960
<c.cyan>There's always work.</c>

39
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:40,960
<c.yellow>And you can work in every country,</c>
<c.yellow>because every country needs doors.</c>

40
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:43,160
<c.cyan>Doesn't matter how many doors</c>
<c.cyan>there are, you know, Reece.</c>

41
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,960

Hacks your TikTok
and then just runs around laughing.

47
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,960
God, is there any point
in this school

48
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:03,960
even having a careers week

49
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,960
when it's full of no-hope scruffs
like him? <c.yellow>Ha!</c>

50
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,960

THEY LAUGH

66
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:48,960
Anyways, girl, get you arse here.
It's a big week for you.

67
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,640
'What are you doing?'
<c.yellow>Er, I'm just doin' me nails.</c>

68
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:53,960
<c.yellow>I'll be there in a bit.</c>

69
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,960
'All right, love,
I'll see you soon.'

70
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:02,960
SOFTLY: <c.yellow>Dad.</c>

71
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,960
<c.yellow>Dad!</c>
HE SNORES

72
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,160
I swear, I wasn't there!

73
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,960
<c.yellow>Is it fair to say, Mr Duffy,</c>

74
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,960
<c.yellow>that you frequent that area</c>
<c.yellow>most evenings?</c>

75
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,960
Yeah, but I wasn't there
that evening.

76
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,960
<c.yellow>Is it correct, Mr Duffy, that your</c>
<c.yellow>previous conviction was for theft?</c>

77
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,960
That was the biggest mistake
of me life, and I paid the price.

78
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,960
I don't even get to see
me kids any more.

79
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,640
HE SOBS

80
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:31,960
<c.yellow>Oh, I'm sorry, Reece,</c>
<c.yellow>I didn't mean to hit a raw nerve.</c>

81
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,320
LAUGHTER

82
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,320
<c.yellow>OK. Very clever.</c>

83
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,960
<c.yellow>That was an example</c>
<c.yellow>of a cross-examination.</c>

84
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,640
<c.yellow>My name's Lorna, I'm a barrister,</c>

85
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,960
<c.yellow>and I think it's great you're</c>
<c.yellow>all getting enthused about law</c>

86
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,960
<c.yellow>as this week,</c>
<c.yellow>we'll be staging a mock trial,</c>

87
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,800
<c.yellow>and my chambers would like to offer</c>
<c.yellow>a mini-pupillage</c>

88
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,960
<c.yellow>to the student</c>
<c.yellow>that shows the most potential</c>

89
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,960
<c.yellow>for a career</c>
<c.yellow>in the legal profession.</c>

90
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,320
<c.green>What's a mini-pupillage?</c>

91
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,960
<c.cyan>Connor's nickname for his tiny cock.</c>
LAUGHTER

92
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,320
<c.yellow>It's a short</c>
<c.yellow>work experience placement</c>

93
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,960
<c.yellow>where you'll shadow myself</c>
<c.yellow>and attend court hearings.</c>

94
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,160
You should defo pick me, Miss,

95
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,800
cos I am dead good
at just looking at someone

96
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,640
and knowing whether they're a perv.

97
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,160
You wouldn't even need
to take it to trial.

98
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,960
<c.yellow>I'll bear that in mind.</c>
<c.yellow>Thank you...?</c>

99
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:13,960
Mia-Louise Turner.

100
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,960
<c.yellow>Thank you, Mia-Louise.</c>

101
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,960
<c.yellow>OK, I have your answers here</c>

102
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,960
<c.yellow>to the legal question</c>
<c.yellow>we posed last week.</c>

103
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,960
<c.yellow>Barry has been charged</c>
<c.yellow>with manslaughter</c>

104
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,960
<c.yellow>after an altercation</c>
<c.yellow>with his friend Terry</c>

105
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,960
<c.yellow>ended with Terry falling</c>
<c.yellow>and striking his head,</c>

106
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:28,960
<c.yellow>causing his death.</c>

107
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,320
<c.yellow>How would you advise Barry?</c>

108
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,960
<c.yellow>A lot of you gave general advice</c>
<c.yellow>to Barry,</c>

109
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,160
<c.yellow>when the question</c>
<c.yellow>meant legal advice.</c>

110
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,960
<c.yellow>"Change your name.</c>
<c.yellow>Nobody's called Barry any more."</c>

111
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,960
<c.yellow>"I heard it was a sex game</c>
<c.yellow>gone wrong."</c>

112
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:39,960
LAUGHTER

113
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,640
<c.yellow>"Have you got</c>
<c.yellow>Terry's missus' number?</c>

114
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,960
<c.yellow>"She's on the market,</c>
<c.yellow>and I heard she's a stunner."</c>

115
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,160
<c.yellow>But me two favourite answers</c>
<c.yellow>were Christopher,</c>

116
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,960
<c.yellow>who advised, "He should plead guilty</c>
<c.yellow>to involuntary manslaughter</c>

117
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,960
<c.yellow>"for a reduced sentence,"</c>

118
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,960
<c.yellow>and Reece, who took</c>
<c.yellow>a more unorthodox approach</c>

119
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,800
<c.yellow>and said, "Bazza should say</c>
<c.yellow>he was sleepwalking."</c>

120
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,960
I got the idea
when Connor stayed at mine.

121
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:01,960
I punched him in the head
in the night

122
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,320
and said I was sleepwalking.

123
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,960
He believed me! Classic automatism.

124
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,960
<c.yellow>Very good, Reece.</c>

125
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,000
<c.yellow>Automatism is indeed</c>
<c.yellow>a valid legal defence.</c>

126
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,960
<c.yellow>So, well done to Christopher,</c>

127
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,800
<c.yellow>who will be</c>
<c.yellow>the prosecuting barrister,</c>

128
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,960
<c.yellow>and Reece, who will defend.</c>

129
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,960
<c.yellow>This is the mock trial we'll be</c>
<c.yellow>getting our teeth into...</c>

130
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,960
Er, Miss? Are you messing?

131
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,160
Who cares whether Benjamin
had his bike stolen?

132
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,960
He's about 30
and still wearing those shorts?

133
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,000
Nonce territory, that, Miss.

134
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,960
<c.cyan>Yeah, can't we do something</c>
<c.cyan>more interesting, like?</c>

135
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,960
We should trial Lewis
for hacking Aimee's TikTok

136
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,960
and posting a video
slagging off girls in the school,

137
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,960
so everyone thinks she posted it.

138
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,960
ROBOT VOICE:
<c.green>Freya Moore's dad is in prison,</c>

139
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,960
<c.green>and her mum is a drunkard crackhead,</c>

140
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,960
<c.green>but the most tragic thing about her</c>

<c.cyan>What does it do?</c>

<c.cyan>Does wealth define dreams?</c>

151

<c.cyan>Or do dreams define wealth?</c>

Eeh.

Oh, I'm a bellend.

161
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,960
<c.cyan>That was a little piece that I wrote</c>

00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,960
<c.cyan>within the British acting profession</c>

163
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,320
<c.cyan>is increasingly dominated by those</c>
<c.cyan>from privileged class origins.</c>

164
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,960
<c.cyan>But I wanna change that.</c>

165
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,960
<c.cyan>I wanna show you</c>
<c.cyan>how to unlock that door.</c>

166
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,960
<c.cyan>Yeah? </c><c.green>I just wanna say,</c>
<c.green>I loved your use of stage proxemics.</c>

167
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,800
<c.green>It really helped emphasise</c>
<c.green>the points of tension.</c>

168
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,960
<c.cyan>Thank you very much.</c>
<c.cyan>What's your name?</c>

169
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:11,960
<c.green>Grace.</c>

170
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,800
<c.green>In Greek mythology, it means charm,</c>
<c.green>beauty and fertility.</c>

171
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,000
<c.cyan>Well, you're obviously a very</c>
<c.cyan>knowledgeable young lady, Grace.</c>

172
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,960
<c.green>Thanks.</c>
<c.green>I go to an evening drama school,</c>

173
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,960
<c.green>and we cover a lot</c>
<c.green>of the techniques there.</c>

174
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:23,960
<c.cyan>Fantastic.</c>

175
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,960
<c.cyan>So, who else, like our Grace here,</c>
<c.cyan>has the drive to become an actor?</c>

176
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,480
<c.yellow>Me. My dream is to become</c>
<c.yellow>the first person from Merseyside</c>

177
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,960
<c.yellow>to win an Oscar</c>
<c.yellow>since Glenda Jackson in 1973.</c>

178
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:36,960
LAUGHTER

179
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,960
Eeh, why are youse laughing?
Eh, it's called ambition.

180
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,800
<c.cyan>Yeah, but you also need hard work</c>

181
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,960
<c.cyan>to go along</c>
<c.cyan>with that blind ambition.</c>

182
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,960
<c.cyan>So, what do you do</c>
<c.cyan>to really push yourself?</c>

183
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,960
<c.yellow>I do drama GCSE.</c>

184
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,480
<c.cyan>Well, if you really want that Oscar,</c>

185
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,960
<c.cyan>maybe you should be doing more,</c>
<c.cyan>like our Grace here.</c>

186
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,320
<c.cyan>So, the school has asked me to do</c>
<c.cyan>an acting masterclass this week,</c>

187
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,960
<c.cyan>but I'm also casting</c>
<c.cyan>for an indie film project</c>

188
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,960
<c.cyan>about young, working-class kids</c>
<c.cyan>growing up in Liverpool.</c>

189
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,960
But I thought you
were a fancy film director?

190
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,960
<c.cyan>No, I'm a casting director,</c>

191
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,640
<c.cyan>so I choose the right actors</c>
<c.cyan>for the films.</c>

192
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:13,960
Oh, that sounds easy, that.

193
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,480
"You, you're good. Be in that."

194
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,960
<c.cyan>I want to cast</c>
<c.cyan>the female lead locally,</c>

195
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,960
<c.cyan>so I'll be visiting a few schools</c>
<c.cyan>over the next few weeks,</c>

196
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,160
<c.cyan>and I'll invite the best</c>
<c.cyan>from each school to a casting day.</c>

197
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,960
Why don't you just be
a real director instead?

198
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,960
<c.cyan>Er, it's not exactly as easy</c>
<c.cyan>as all that.</c>

199
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:31,960
<c.cyan>So, if you're interested,</c>

200

Come on, it was funny.

203
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,960
<c.yellow>You do realise he's gonna cast</c>
<c.yellow>someone for an actual film?</c>

204
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:43,960
<c.yellow>It would kinda help if he liked me.</c>

205
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,960
All right, well,
what's got into you?

206
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,960
<c.yellow>And why did you say</c>
<c.yellow>about putting Lewis on trial?</c>

207
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,960
Er, what do you mean?
I was trying to help you!

208
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,960
<c.cyan>Rehearsals are where</c>
<c.cyan>the real hard work happens.</c>

209
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,960
<c.cyan>They'll either darken</c>
<c.cyan>your performance or...</c>

<c.yellow>Hang on!</c>

288
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,640
<c.yellow>He stole that</c>
<c.yellow>from a John Keates poem!</c>

289
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:58,960
ALL: <c.green>Who?</c>

290
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,960
Miss Morris,
could you please look at this?

291
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,960
ALL CHANT:
<c.yellow>Let's all do the beach, man!</c>

292
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,960
<c.yellow>Let's all do the beach, man!</c>

293
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,000
<c.yellow>Nah, nah, nah, nah!</c>
<c.green>Order in the court!</c>

294
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,960
<c.yellow>Members of the jury,</c>

295
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,960
<c.yellow>I hired an online sleuth</c>
<c.yellow>to obtain the IP address</c>

296
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,160
<c.yellow>of where the TikTok post originated.</c>

297
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,960
<c.cyan>What the fuck's a sleuth?</c>

298
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,960
<c.yellow>And this is the e-mail I received</c>
<c.yellow>which states</c>

299
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:27,320
<c.yellow>that the IP address matches</c>
<c.yellow>a computer in the school library.</c>

300
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:28,960
<c.cyan>So?</c>
<c.green>Who cares?</c>

301
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,960
<c.yellow>OK, well, wait for this.</c>

302
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,960
<c.yellow>We have an eyewitness statement</c>
<c.yellow>that says they saw Mr Connolly</c>

303
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,960
<c.yellow>using that same computer</c>
<c.yellow>on Friday at 12:29.</c>

304
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,320
<c.green>What is he on about?</c>
<c.cyan>Who cares?</c>

305
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,960
<c.yellow>The TikTok post was made at 12:31!</c>

<c.yellow>You're finished.</c>

309
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,960
<c.cyan>Lad, I need your help.</c>
<c.cyan>I didn't do it.</c>

310
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,960
Behave, lad.
<c.cyan>Look, like, that poem, yeah?</c>

311
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,960
<c.cyan>I just wanted her to know</c>
<c.cyan>I was hurting because...</c>

312
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,960
<c.cyan>..it kills me that I love her</c>

313
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,000
<c.cyan>and she doesn't feel the same</c>
<c.cyan>about me.</c>

314
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,960
<c.cyan>Please?</c>

315
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:16,960
<c.cyan>If you get me off,</c>
<c.cyan>no more dad jokes.</c>

316
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,480
<c.cyan>OK, OK, maybe down to, like,</c>
<c.cyan>one a month.</c>

317
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,960
<c.cyan>I'll make a conscious shift</c>
<c.cyan>from quantity to quality.</c>

318
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,320
<c.cyan>Swear down.</c>

319
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,960
<c.yellow>Can someone get back to me</c>
<c.yellow>and tell me why it's been moved?</c>

320
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,960
<c.yellow>He's not going through</c>
<c.yellow>another two weeks of hell.</c>

<c.cyan>Give me the drugs!</c>

00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,960
Cor, this dickhead and his torches.

324

<c.cyan>Don't make me shoot my own brother!</c>

327
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,960
<c.cyan>And that was completely improvised</c>
<c.cyan>because in acting,</c>

328
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,960
<c.cyan>sometimes you have to think</c>
<c.cyan>on your feet.</c>

329
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,960
Do you know, it actually felt
really real, Sir.

330
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,960
Like, me dad killed his brother
just last week for drugs.

331
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,960
And the street name for all drugs
these days is just "drugs".

332
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,800
Saves all the confusion.

333
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,800
<c.cyan>Thank you.</c>

334
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,960
<c.cyan>And I'm sorry for your loss.</c>

335
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,960
<c.cyan>Let's do some improv situations.</c>

336
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:24,960
<c.cyan>I'll set you in pairs,</c>

337
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,960
<c.cyan>and you can use this torch</c>
<c.cyan>as a creative prop</c>

338
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,960
<c.cyan>to help inspire the scene.</c>

339
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,960
<c.green>Welcome to</c>
<c.green>the Socially "In just this" podcast.</c>

340
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,960
<c.green>This week,</c>
<c.green>we're discussing white privilege.</c>

341
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,960
<c.green>My guest today is Mia-Louise.</c>

342
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:40,960
<c.green>Good afternoon.</c>
Er...

343
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,960
you're white privilege, girl,
for saying "good afternoon"

344
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,960
just cos white people
have generally had good afternoons.

345
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,960
What about Black people and slavery?

346
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,000
They weren't good afternoons,
were they?

347
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,960
<c.cyan>So, according to our records,</c>
<c.cyan>you've been unemployed</c>

348
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,960
<c.cyan>and on Universal Credit</c>
<c.cyan>for two years since leaving school.</c>

349
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,960
<c.cyan>How's that job search going?</c>

350
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,960
<c.yellow>I'm sure there's something</c>
<c.yellow>out there for me. </c><c.cyan>Hmm.</c>

351
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:01,160
<c.cyan>Hm.</c>

352
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,960
<c.green>What is white privilege?</c>

353
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:05,960
<c.green>How do we define it?</c>

354
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,960
Er, is it a young white girl
who thinks she's interesting enough

355
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,960
to have her own podcast and then
constantly emails everyone about it?

356
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,960
<c.cyan>I've found a cleaning job</c>
<c.cyan>here at Asda.</c>

357
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,960
<c.cyan>Would you be interested?</c>

358
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,960
<c.yellow>Nothing against cleaning,</c>
<c.yellow>but I'd like to do something</c>

359
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,480
<c.yellow>in the entertainment industry.</c>

360
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,960
Oh, my God, the host of the podcast
has just been arrested live on air.

361
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,800
For a violent racial hate crime.
On a woman.

362
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,640
Who was also a refugee!

363
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,960
Then she's burnt the Pride flag,
and she's even chopped down a tree!

364
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,160
<c.cyan>But sometimes you have to be</c>
<c.cyan>a bit more realistic</c>

365
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,960
<c.cyan>with our careers.</c>

366
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,160
<c.cyan>You know, we can't waste our lives</c>
<c.cyan>chasing an unrealistic dream</c>

367
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,000
<c.cyan>with nothing to fall back on.</c>
PHONE BUZZING

368
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,960
<c.cyan>For example, you try to make it</c>
<c.cyan>as a singer, fail</c>

369
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,960
<c.cyan>and end up becoming</c>
<c.cyan>a bad Elvis impersonator</c>

370
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,320
<c.cyan>who can't support his family.</c>

371
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,960
<c.yellow>Shut up, you stupid, pouty bitch!</c>

373
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,960
<c.cyan>Exceptional, Grace.</c>

374
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,000
<c.cyan>The conflict really helped</c>
<c.cyan>imbue the scene with emotion.</c>

375
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,800
<c.cyan>I'll see you guys tomorrow,</c>
<c.cyan>at 1pm sharp, for the auditions.</c>

376
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,960
<c.yellow>Thanks for calling me back.</c>
WOMAN: <c.green>'How's tomorrow?'</c>

377
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,640
<c.yellow>Tomorrow is great. What time?</c>
<c.green>'1pm?</c>

378
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,960
<c.green>'Love?'</c>
<c.yellow>Yeah.</c>

379
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,480
<c.yellow>Yeah, that's OK.</c>

380
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,960
Calling a hit on Grace?

381
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,960
My first was tough too,
but sometimes it has to be done.

382
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:26,960
Don't worry.

383
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,960
You're gonna do great
in the audition.

384
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,000
And tomorrow this whole school's
going to know what Lewis did to you.

385
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,000
<c.yellow>Hello there.</c>
<c.yellow>I'm so sorry, can I cancel that hit?</c>

386
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,000
<c.yellow>Yeah, this posh divvy's</c>
<c.yellow>making me feel a lot better.</c>

387
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,960
<c.yellow>OK, thank you. Take care, bye-bye!</c>

388
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,960
CHATTER

389
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:56,960
<c.green>Order!</c>

390
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,960
<c.green>In the absence</c>
<c.green>of the defending barrister,</c>

391
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,160
<c.green>and on the charge of Lewis Connolly</c>

392
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,800
<c.green>hacking me mate's TikTok</c>
<c.green>and generally being a bad ming,</c>

393
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,960
<c.green>how do we find him?</c>

394
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:06,960
Stop!
GASPS

395
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,640
The defence has some new evidence it
would like to share with the jury.

396
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,960
My "Leonard" friend said

397
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:17,960
that Mr Connolly was last seen
on said computer at 12:29.

398
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,960
And he's right, he was.

399
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,320
<c.cyan>What are you playing at, lad?</c>

400
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,960
But he wasn't on Aimee's TikTok.

401
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,960
He was printing materials off
for his big lunchtime wank,

402
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,000
cos everybody knows
he's not a good mind wanker.

403
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,960
MURMURS OF AGREEMENT
Lewis then took these materials

404
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,960
and enjoyed his lunchtime wank
in the bog.

405
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,960
Now, ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

406
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,960
can you help me with a question?

407
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,960
What time did my "Leonard" friend

408
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,800
say the TikTok post was made?

409
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,000
<c.cyan>12:31.</c>

410
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,960
Thank you for your assistance.

411
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,960
Now, as we all know,

412
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,960
Meachy likes to keep
a close eye on us.

413
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,160
So, here we have
Friday's CCTV footage

414
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,640
of the south corridor,

415
00:18:58,640 --> 00:18:59,960
where you will now see Mr Connolly

416
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:03,960
leaving the bogs
in post-nut clarity bliss.

417
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,000
BOY: <c.yellow>Dirty bastard.</c>
GIRL: <c.green>Vile.</c>

418
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,960
Now, I know what youse are thinking,
ladies and gentlemen.

419
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,960
Lewis was on the computer at 12:29.

420
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,960
He printed his materials,
posted the TikTok at 12:31,

421
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:15,960
then went for his elite
lunchtime wank.

422
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,160
Except he didn't.

423
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,960
Because the time here is 12:32!

424
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,960
GASPS
<c.yellow>I didn't post it!</c>

425
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:23,960
I therefore put to you

426
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,960
that Mr Connolly
was actually wankin'

427
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:27,960
at the time in question.

428
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,960
GASPS
Oh, and also,

429
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,960
he's a rapid wanker too.

430
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,960
<c.green>Get in!</c>

431
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,960
TEARFULLY: <c.cyan>Thank you so much.</c>
<c.yellow>I didn't post it.</c>

432
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,960
<c.yellow>Y-You do believe me, don't you?</c>

433
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,480
<c.cyan>I know we've never been</c>
<c.cyan>the best of mates, but...</c>

434
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,480
<c.yellow>Oh, my God, you don't.</c>

<c.cyan>Thank you, son.</c>
It's OK.

<c.yellow>Reece.</c>

438
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,960
<c.yellow>Could you come by our chambers</c>
<c.yellow>after school</c>

439
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,960

<c.yellow>meet your fellow cohorts?</c>

440
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,960
CHANTING: <c.green>Reece! Reece! Reece!</c>

<c.cyan>Right, next we have...</c>

00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:01,960
<c.cyan>Grace.</c>

461
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,960
Eeh, why is she dressed like Aims?

462
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:06,960
I'll fucking hit her.

463
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,000
<c.green>Thanks for coming in, Aimee.</c>

464
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,960
<c.green>As I was saying to your father,</c>
<c.green>we've analysed the MRI scan results.</c>

465
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,960
<c.green>Unfortunately, it has confirmed</c>
<c.green>areas of lesions in the brain.</c>

466
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:17,960
I'll be OK.

467
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,960
<c.cyan>The cost-of-living crises</c>

468
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,960
<c.cyan>has brought you</c>
<c.cyan>to the bones of your arse,</c>

469
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,960
<c.cyan>and now you've just been fired.</c>

470
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:25,960
<c.yellow>You can't do that!</c>

471
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,960
<c.yellow>It's humiliating as it is,</c>

472
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,960
<c.yellow>having to rely on charities</c>
<c.yellow>for toothpaste and bog roll.</c>

473
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,960
<c.yellow>I have a kid,</c>
<c.yellow>and her da does nothing.</c>

474
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,960
<c.yellow>I'm on me own.</c>

475
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:39,960
<c.yellow>Please!</c>

00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,960
Look...

478
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,960
we knew it was coming, didn't we?

479
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,960
'Ey?

480
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,960
Just think, the shaky legs
will help with me Elvis routine.

481
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,480
Come on.

482
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,960
<c.green>
<c.green>The twilight zone...

483
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:02,960
<c.yellow>Right, I'm doing me audition,</c>

484
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,960
<c.yellow>but I'm doing an improvised</c>
<c.yellow>monologue that fits the character.</c>

485
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,960
<c.cyan>Aimee, you're too late.</c>
<c.cyan>I have to get my train.</c>

486
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,960
<c.yellow>What do you do when</c>
<c.yellow>you feel like you're drowning?</c>

487
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,960
<c.yellow>When you go from being a kid</c>

488
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,960
<c.yellow>to suddenly having to deal with</c>
<c.yellow>heartbreak,</c>

489
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,000
<c.yellow>misery, anger?</c>

490
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,320
<c.yellow>They don't teach you that in school,</c>
<c.yellow>do they?</c>

491
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,960
<c.yellow>They act like...</c>

492
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,960
<c.yellow>as long as you study hard,</c>
<c.yellow>you'll be happy.</c>

493
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,960
<c.yellow>What they don't say is, one day...</c>

494
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,000
<c.yellow>..you might get bad news...</c>

495
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,960
<c.yellow>that makes you feel like</c>
<c.yellow>you've been thrown</c>

496
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,640
<c.yellow>into a deep hole of despair.</c>

497
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,960
<c.yellow>When you're a kid,</c>

498
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,960
<c.yellow>there is no problem</c>
<c.yellow>that your parents can't solve.</c>

499
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,960
<c.yellow>They're indestructible.</c>

500
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,960
<c.yellow>And then you get older...</c>

501
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,960
<c.yellow>..and it's devastating</c>
<c.yellow>to realise that they aren't.</c>

502
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,960
<c.yellow>Maybe that's why no-one prepares you</c>
<c.yellow>for being an adult.</c>

503
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,960
<c.yellow>Because they're still not prepared.</c>

504
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,960
<c.yellow>Maybe nothing can prepare you.</c>

505
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,800
<c.cyan>That was good, Aimee. Very good.</c>

506
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,960
<c.cyan>But you know what?</c>
<c.cyan>I just can't rely on you.</c>

507
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,960
<c.cyan>You're late, you're irritable,</c>

508
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,960
<c.cyan>and quite frankly, you're trouble,</c>

509
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,320
<c.cyan>and people don't like working</c>
<c.cyan>with trouble.</c>

510
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,960
<c.cyan>Grace... I'll see you in London.</c>

511
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,960
<c.yellow>'Ey, Jenson!</c>

512
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,160
<c.yellow>I looked you up on LinkedIn. Yeah.</c>

513
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,960
<c.yellow>You from around here, are you?</c>
<c.yellow>You're a fraud.</c>

514
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,480
<c.yellow>You're a joke, mate.</c>
<c.yellow>This whole school's a joke!</c>

515
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,960
<c.yellow>It's full of bad gimps!</c>
GASPS, JEERS

516
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,960
<c.yellow>You can all fuck off, mate!</c>

517
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,960
Aims, what's goin' on?

518
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,160
<c.cyan>All right, soft lad?</c>

519
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,640
<c.cyan>Where've you been?</c>

520
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,480
<c.cyan>The fella from your law placement</c>
<c.cyan>called me.</c>

521
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,960
<c.cyan>He said you did a runner.</c>

522
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,960
<c.cyan>I told him you better had the shits</c>
<c.cyan>or I'll kill you.</c>

523
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,320
<c.cyan>I've put it on Instagram, Reece!</c>

524
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,160
<c.cyan>"Hashtag so proud.</c>
<c.cyan>Hashtag lawyer in the family.</c>

525
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,800
<c.cyan>"Hashtag not the accused this time."</c>

526
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,960
I know, Mum. I saw the 50 hashtags.

527
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,960
<c.cyan>Then what the fuck happened?</c>

528
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,960
There was this lad there
called Remington.

529
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,960
Some girl called Persephone.
She was quite fit.

530
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,000
But they were speaking about
Villa versus someone in 2018.

531
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,960
I thought they were speaking
about an FA Cup game,

532
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,960
but it turns out they were
speaking about some legal case,

533
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,960
a guy called Villa.

534
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,960
I felt like a tit, Mum.

535
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,960
So I just left.

536
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,960
<c.cyan>Can't say I blame you.</c>

537
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,160
<c.cyan>Look, I'm not gonna force you</c>
<c.cyan>to go back if you don't want to, OK?</c>

538
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,960
<c.cyan>But I can't let you swerve it cos</c>
<c.cyan>you don't think you're good enough.</c>

539
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,800
<c.cyan>Fuck Persephone!</c>

540
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,960
<c.cyan>You've got just as much right to be</c>
<c.cyan>there as any of them have, son.</c>

541
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:15,960
<c.cyan>You've just gotta start</c>
<c.cyan>believing it, OK?</c>

542
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,960
<c.cyan>OK.</c>

543
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,320
<c.cyan>Your tea's inside.</c>

544
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:21,960
<c.cyan>Persephone!</c>

545
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,960
<c.yellow>"Hashtag so proud?"</c>

546
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,960
<c.yellow>I got you a gift to say well done</c>
<c.yellow>for winning the case.</c>

547
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,960
<c.yellow>For when you start</c>
<c.yellow>your joinery apprenticeship.</c>

548
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,320
You mean to say sorry cos you
thought you were gonna win easily?

549
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,960
<c.yellow>What? No. I gave you that impression</c>
<c.yellow>on purpose to help motivate you,</c>

550
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:43,960
<c.yellow>and it worked.</c>

551
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,960
All right, lad.
<c.yellow>I would never assume anything!</c>

552
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,160
<c.yellow>I'm not that entitled.</c>

553
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,480
<c.yellow>Eurgh, my shoes are so dirty.</c>
<c.yellow>Where is he?</c>
