I couldn't hear. It's really noisy in here.

Oi, Vicki, we still on for Friday or what?

-Are you getting stressed now? -Is this stressing you now?

-Are we stressing you? -Girls, don't push me.

I literally know where you live, and I will hunt you down.

As I was saying, this is your final careers lesson.

-(student whoops) -(laughter)

Mickey, sit down.

Pritti, you've been paying attention.

I want you to explain to the rest of the class

what I've been saying.

Miss is saying that you can't all be, like,

pop singers and movie stars

and that there's other jobs--

like, just normal stuff and that--

and they're kind of good, too.

HEDGE: So having realistic expectations

about your future career potential

is what is gonna help you get a real job.

Right, so... so what do you want to be, Pritti?

A doctor, miss.

-(mocking): "A doctor, miss." -(students murmuring)

HEDGE: Settle down. Yes, Bex.

Miss, why does she get to be a doctor

and I have to work in a slaughterhouse?

What?

This careers brochure you gave me--

-"Your Future in Meat." -(laughter)

I couldn't work in a slaughterhouse, miss.

I'm a vag-etarian.

Anyone.

-Jamie. -Oh, uh, me?

Sorry, miss. Away with the fairies.

Yeah, yeah, gay kid. Ha-ha.

HEDGE: I was saying-- careers,

Discuss.

What job do you want?

I don't know, miss.

The future's just alive with enticing opportunities.

-(scoffs) -HEDGE: Good. See?

That is a good attitude.

It's incredibly vague, but it's good.

Fancy dress party?

Let me guess-- Rocky Horror?

No.

It's for me to wear.

It's not a costume.

I want to be a drag queen.

Hmm?

How old are you, Jamie?

16. Just.

Sixteen?

Oh, they're getting younger and younger.

Whilst I just curl up here in an ossifying ball

growing ever more fabulous.

So, does she have a name?

Does who have a name?

Does your drag queen have a name?

Well, I've thought, a bit, you know,

-brainstormed and that, but... -Out with it.

Come on.

You'll never know if you don't say.

What is it?

Sandra Banana.

-(weakly): "Sandra Banana." -Oh, I know.

-Sandra Banana? -I know.

You'll have to do better than Sandra Banana.

Your name's your brand.

Take it seriously.

I mean, who's ever heard of Archibald Leach?

Who's Archibald Leach?

That's only Cary Grant's real name.

(chuckles)

Who's Cary Grant?

Oh, bloody hell.

Come here, come here, come here.

Now listen, listen.

You need to create a persona.

Look at her.

Look at everything she is.

A goddess made flesh.

"The Warrior Queen in the Blood Red Dress.

Miss Loco Chanelle."

Warrior?

You can't just be a boy in a dress, Jamie.

A boy in a dress is something to be laughed at.

A drag queen is something to be feared.

Oh, you won't believe the power it gives you,

putting on that wig,

slipping on them heels.

You'll hold the audience in the palm of your hand.

Folks love a drag queen, but folks are terrified of 'em.

But I don't want to make people scared of me.

Shoot first, or they'll shoot you down. First rule of drag.

So why...

why do you want to be a drag queen?

I dunno, I just do.

You just do.

Oh, that's some inspiring stuff there.

Put that on a fridge magnet, why don't you?

Bloody hell.

Because I can't really ever imagine doing anything else.

Because it's all I dream of.

It's all I live for

and when I close me eyes, it's all I can see.

I don't want to be a drag queen.

I have to be one.

Bingo, poppet!

Which is why

I'm going to me school prom in drag.

Chuffing hellfire.

You don't ask much of yourself, do you, kiddo?

What if the other lads turn on you?

-Have you thought of that? -So...

...you don't think I should go?

Oh, no, you have to go,

in honor of all your fallen comrades

what have come before you.

How far away's your prom?

-Six weeks. -Six weeks?

All right, well, that's tough

but not impossible.

Oh, kids today.

Well, luckily, Jamie,

you just found yourself a mentor.

Wait.

Are you a drag queen?

I was, once, Miss Loco Chanelle.

-No way. No. -Oh, yes, yes, yes.

In daylight hours,

I was the ever so humble Hugo Battersby,

but at night...

and at the right price...

The drag queens in the olden days,

they weren't just queens.

They were warrior queens.

I thought I'd got it hard.

They had the whole world against them,

and they still never backed down,

and me... (scoffs)

I just wanna dance round and show off and be a bit famous.

Drag, it's not just a TV show, Pritti.

It's a revolution.

So go... join the revolution.

I'm not even halfway brave enough for that.

You know, some of them died.

Like literally, they died.

And the rest of 'em still kept on fighting.

The drag night at Social Club? Course.

Drag exists on a stage.

If you want to take it out into the real world,

you've got to carry that stage with you.

That prom is a show.

The Jamie Show.

So you'd better be show ready.

Now, I taught them girls everything they know.

If I ask, they'll put you on

-as opening act. -(snaps fingers)

Yeah. Yeah, yes, please.

Oh, my days. I mean, wow.

So, go and create her.

Remember, practice, practice, practice,

Well, I'm sorry I'm late, miss.

Must have overslept.

Late night.

No, I'm sorry, Jamie.

I'm sorry you suddenly feel the need

to be the center of attention.

I don't know what you're talking about, miss.

(students laughing, murmuring)

Miss.

You know that makeup like that is completely

against school uniform rules.

JAMIE: The school uniform rules for the girls, miss, yeah,

but if you check the code for the boys-- and I did--

it don't say nothing about makeup at all.

Hiya, Dean.

Having a nice day so far?

Jamie, what are you doing?

Who's Jamie?

I'm Mimi Me.

HEDGE: Take them off.

No.

(students murmuring)

What did you just say to me?

I said, "No."

I won't take them off.

Can I remind you that I am a teacher at this school?

You don't need to remind me that, miss.

I just get a whiff of desperation, and then, oh,

-look, there you are. -(students laughing, murmuring)

You're in real trouble now. Out!

(students laughing, chattering)

Sit down and stay there.

(sighs)

Hiya, gorgeous.

Freak show.

Freak show, freak show, freak show.

Like that word will ever bring me down.

'Cause I'm fabulous, Dean.

And you might be fit,

and you might be handsome,

but you're so ugly.

I'll see you at prom, Dean.

I'm picking out a dress just for you.

(grunting)

HEDGE: Break it up!

Break... break it up!

-Stop it! That's it! -The pair of you!

Get him away from me.

-Where are you going? -Home.

You've got your exam, Dean.

Screw my exams, screw you,

and screw that disgusting thing there.

'Cause if you're going in a dress,

you won't find me nowhere near that stupid prom.

-(sighs) -What's got into you, Jamie?

Eh? You know you can't behave like that.

A drag queen don't know the meaning of the word "can't."

Just ask me seven ex-husbands.

You, take those off.

(door closes)

MASOOD: Jamie's behavior has been

utterly unacceptable, Mrs. New.

And I don't use such strong words lightly.

It's just a bit of makeup.

Oh, Ray, please.

I work shifts. I didn't see him leave like that, but...

it's hardly the end of the world.

Well, it's the end of prom for Dean Paxton.

MARGARET: Who's Dean Paxton?

Dean from the drag club, eh?

The boy who had 'em all jeering.

-Oh. -He's a knob head.

Well, that's not very helpful language.

Well, he is.

Uh, I-I'd like to downplay this dialogue and say to Jamie,

I want to encourage you to uncover your individual, yeah?

I want you to interface with the true you.

But is it right you want to go to prom in a dress?

(whispers): Go on.

Yeah.

RAY: Is that a problem?

No, no, 'cause in this school,

we are, you know, promoters

of, um, freedom of expression, and, uh...

Yeah, I think what Mr. Masood is trying to say

is that there is a fine line

between individuality and disruption,

and that you need to think about how your actions

are going to affect other people.

Because not everyone is as lucky as you, Jamie.

For some of these kids, prom is...

I mean, it's their last chance to have one amazing night,

and I'm not gonna let you take that from them.

How is Jamie taking anything away from anyone?

Because some of the kids have said they're not gonna

go to prom if Jamie wears a dress.

She means Dean Paxton.

You heard what he called me.

What? What?

What did Dean Paxton call him?

Well, I don't want to repeat the word.

MARGARET: Well, I do. I want to hear.

I want to know what my son's being called at school.

He called him disgusting.

And-and we will deal with that.

But, Jamie, this is gonna keep happening.

Mimi Me is not a student at this school.

Jamie New is.

And if Jamie wants to come to prom, he comes as Jamie.

In a tie and-and a shirt and trousers,

like all the other boys.

I'm sorry, but your behavior today-- that's...

that's just the way it has to be.

We've heard enough.

-(door opens) -Jamie!

-(sighs) -JAMIE: Disgusting.

How could he call Mimi Me disgusting?

You know, Mimi is gorgeous, and glamorous.

Look at Miss Hedge in her knockoff Jimmy Choos.

-You know she's just jealous. -Jamie.

Calm down.

Me mum and dad'll hear you.

I'm not supposed to have boys in me room.

Oh, I'm sorry, please hold me back

whilst I try not to ravish you.

Jamie. House rules.

Come on.

(sighs heavily)

Your room's so tidy.

I don't know how you do it.

I don't have as many dresses as you do.

I like your lamp.

Thanks.

Jamie, do you think...

Miss Hedge maybe has a point?

If Mimi goes to prom, it'll only be about her.

Everyone else'll be overshadowed.

No, everyone loves Mimi.

They love her on a stage...

but in real life...

she can say things that upset people.

Why does Mimi have to be part of the equation?

I'm gonna be a doctor,

but it doesn't mean I have to go everywhere

swinging my stethoscope.

'Cause without Mimi, I'm...

I'm just ugly.

Jamie...

you are stunning.

You know there's a name like Jamie in Arabic.

Jamil.

So if you were, like, Pakistani or Middle Eastern

or whatever,

we'd call you Jamil New.

And do you know what Jamil means?

It means "beautiful."
