Original subtitles

My castaway this week is a musician and rock star.

Thank you, Sue. It's a pleasure to be here.

Talk about the first song you want. You're eight, you know that, right?

Right. I'm on a desert island, and my songs are...

I know exactly what they are.

And now,

the moment everyone has been waiting for...

Please clap your hands

for the star of 2006.

The first, the only one,

George Bobbin!

You're a genius.

You're a faggot.

BAND 1 SCHOOLBOY

No. I'm sorry, but I don't want a bunch of naked people

squirming in the living room.

It's a body drawing class, not an orgy.

Only the model is naked. You've met Toby, love.

I just want to keep Toby's balls away from our pillows

if that's not too much to ask, would you mind?

Darling...

- Julia. - My name is "Mom".

I think we should go home.

You played the keyboard very well yesterday.

- It was very good. - It's for the Talent Show.

They call it a talent show, but it's much more than that.

It's a...

It's a presentation.

You need courage to do that, a real commitment.

I hope I can say the same about the school.

Absolutely.

- Great progress. - It's better that way, George.

This is the last year, the last chance.

Now or never, right?

- What's wrong? - Honey, don't stress.

It's going to be...

- Difficult. - Mathematics.

- History. - Chemistry.

- French. - Geography.

- It doesn't seem... - Natural.

- He just... - He's not a natural athlete.

Clumsy.

Good afternoon.

- Mr. Zeppelin. - Like Led Zeppelin?

No.

Right, where to start?

Well, from our point of view, George loves music.

Well, he certainly likes it.

But I think it's in the classroom

that George and I faced each other, so to speak.

Because in the classroom there's no time for MTV

or for experiments.

You see, music is math,

but with noise.

Yes! Do you see that?

That's George's problem,

and that's why he'll fail in the music exam.

- My goodness. - He played the same sequence

of noises and sounds

in each of my classes during this period.

And when I give him something else to play,

he looks at me like that.

Well, it's only the beginning of the year,

you can't say that it's too late.

Don't get me wrong, he has some talent,

but I ask you to make an effort to face the challenges of the course.

This is a school, George. It's not a garage band.

Now that your parents are here,

do you have anything to say for yourself?

Yes. When will the candidates be considered for the Graduate Talent Show?

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Yes, there's one more, I'm sorry. It won't be long.

What a great year!

Yes, huge.

Now that I've been appointed director of the third stage,

I feel it's my duty take a more advanced view

and offer professional guidance to people like George,

who are in their final year.

In your opinion, what would be some good options for George

in terms of his career, since he's failing at everything?

Sorry, my husband makes a lot of drama.

Why don't we consult George's files, perhaps?

Very well, yes...

Why don't we see this as an evil that comes to good?

I've always thought that George has great untapped potential,

and maybe we didn't push him enough to realize that.

You know you can change that. There's time.

How do you see yourself in ten years' time?

Let's go. What would your passion be?

- The music. - Great, great!

That's great. What do you love about music?

I want a kiss and other things, George!

Well then, one less.

I see some positive points.

Seriously. It was a disaster.

Well, I heard Ms. Anderson say that her son

has untapped potential,

but you want to focus on the negative.

Everything will be fine, right?

Not everyone is cut out for school. You are unique.

Yes, "unique" doesn't pass the tests, Julia.

You don't need tests to get into music.

You just need to be talented and connected.

Connected?

Yes, it depends on who you know...

Who does he know?

He doesn't need to know now!

Wow, you look great today, darling.

Calm down. That's what happens when we don't go to the flamenco.

You get tense in the wrong places.

Radio, please?

The divorce rumors seem to be true,

since Mike and Penelope Marvin have stopped playing

in the middle of the song "Pillow Fight"

to actually have a fight.

The iconic duo left the stage and canceled...

I had a crush on Mike Marvin.

How is this news?

George?

Boy?

Boy?

Hello.

- Are you lost? - No, I'm not lost. I'm just...

Enjoying.

Right.

Let's start the day then.

Max, Max!

Max... Bands from all over the world...

Are you happy with this school?

- Can we not do this? - How are you feeling?

- I don't want... - Your father...

- Guys, the last few days... - What does your mother think about your father?

- No, please. - What's going on...

No, please. Get out. Fuck off!

- Hey! - I'm so sorry.

What's his problem?

That's why you were expelled from your last school, man.

BAND 2 SHINE, JESUS, SHINE

Thank you, everyone. And thank you, Mr. Zeppelin.

Well, I have a very nice announcement to make this morning.

Some of you may have noticed a new student among us.

I'm sure you've have heard of The Marvins.

And if you haven't heard you'll recognize many of their songs,

like "Silent Eyes", "Love Shot", "Don't, But Don't Don't",

and "Pillow Fight", to name but a few.

Finally, due to a recent change in circumstances,

Penelope Marvin moved to the region

and enrolled Max here to finish his last year with us.

All right. Calm down, please.

Max, we welcome you with affection and support.

Enjoy your days here at Saint Sebastian's

and remember: "Patet Omnibus Veritas".

The truth is open to everyone.

Thank you, Leanne, with the recorder, a very underrated instrument.

I know that the theoretical part of the exam

may seem a bit boring.

But after they start learning,

I think you'll find that it's a lot of fun.

But of course the practical "legal" part is just as important.

With that in mind...

Damn.

George, it's your turn.

George?

Before Christmas, please.

I can't do it. I really can't!

George, didn't we talk about this?

I think it's getting better.

Right. Have you done your homework?

- Was there homework? - Sit down, Mr. Bobbin.

Max.

Please come and save us.

You play the keyboard, don't you?

- A little. - Modest.

With your parents, you must have a natural talent.

Not quite.

No, come on. Don't be shy.

Let's see what you know.

Are you kidding?

- George? - I'm sorry, George.

Not for me. For Max.

Sorry.

- No problem. - No...

I'm going to lie, that was impressive.

Very moving.

Really.

Well, before the bell rings,

I would like to briefly mention the Talent Show.

Almost everyone should know that it is customary here at Saint Sebastian's

that final year students finish the year

with a kind of talent show.

I have a sign-up sheet that will be on my desk for the rest of the day.

And I'd like everyone to introduce themselves.

Mike, you were part of the Luton punk scene in your youth.

You're used to to a bit of rebellion, aren't you?

Now his son Max has problems with the media.

- Like father, like son? - I'm a working-class guy.

It seems I didn't have the conditions.

And now, I see my son growing up, I see his courage...

There's class tomorrow. No more radio.

Good evening.

Yes, but in the old days...

BOX 3 SUPERSTAR

Did you do your math homework?

I can't do my math homework.

Are you good at it?

- Hello? - Yes.

Yes, I'm good.

Great. Can you take a look?

It's a triangle.

We need to be a little more specific than that.

Yes, of course.

I'd say it's pretty big.

Beautiful angles.

Yes, it's a good one.

Should it be: "It's big and has beautiful angles"?

More or less.

Maybe write some numbers? To give it a mathematical touch.

Okay, thanks.

You're welcome.

- What's your name? - I'll go then.

- It's all right. - George.

George? I'm Max.

Yes, that's right.

You see, I'm very late

and I don't know anyone here, so...

You'll do well. You're kind of famous, people will talk to you.

I need a private tutor,

and you're obviously a of mathematics.

So, if you want.

Private lessons?

- For triangles? - Of course.

- Private lessons? - Yes. How much do you charge?

What?

No, I don't charge.

I feel bad that you're doing this for free.

Can I help you with something else in return?

Sorry, that's... That's not...

That's not how I play.

That was awful. I'm so sorry.

Sorry, I didn't have breakfast today

because it took me so long to wake up. So...

I'm shaking a bit.

Imagine that, but twice,

maybe even three times better.

- I'm going to play it again. - I like it.

It's good.

Not enough, then...

I'm not going to lie, you're a bit rustic.

So rustic.

You know, it's something unique.

Yes, it's true.

It's unique.

- Yes. - All the best things are, then...

Well, no one else liked it.

I start playing and they don't even hear.

Yes, you can't please everyone.

They hear when you play.

I put my name down to take part in the talent show at the end of the year.

And I know that if people really listen to me,

give me a chance,

it's my only chance to do something big,

something important.

Help me and I'll tell you everything I know about triangles.

Okay.

How about tonight? I could go to your place.

We can do something, work on your music.

In my house?

Yes.

What day is it?

Thursday. Yes, yes.

Great.

Can I have your number?

Thank you.

- Is it a landline? - Yes.

Just ask for George.

Don't you have a cell phone?

I've never needed one.

No problem.

See you later.

Well done, everyone. Have a good night and I'll see you bright and early tomorrow.

Thank you.

George, can you wait a minute?

I'll save you a seat on the bus.

Bye.

I won't be long. I'm just...

I've been thinking about you since Father's Night,

thinking about how much you remind me of myself.

When I was younger.

I didn't find school easy.

So, I guess I just wanted to

that you knew that your academic situation is...

I believe in you.

You can count on me for everything.

Are you all right?

Okay, you can go.

This is my house.

- You can put your things... - Yes.

Hello, champ.

Is that your father?

No, that's Toby.

- My room is... We've just... - George!

Dad.

Jeffrey, this is my friend.

- Hi. - Hi.

Hi, I know you.

- Why do I know you? - Yes, you are...

- You are... Jesus. - He's not Jesus.

I'm Max.

Are you with George?

George said I could have dinner with you,

but don't worry if you don't have a seat.

Master Jeff! Cool, man.

I can't find my underwear.

- For God's sake. - I'll be right there.

Of course you can stay for dinner.

And so I can introduce myself properly.

It's a pleasure to have you here, Max.

Macaroons?

Don't tell me you don't eat gluten.

My mother said that she was always happy here before...

Well, everything. It seemed natural for her to come back.

I need to confess something.

I once had a huge crush on your father.

- Huge. - More noodles, Max?

No, thank you.

- Really? - Yes, everyone did.

He looked like an Adonis with a guitar.

He must be more wrinkled than you remember.

I still need to contain myself.

Please stop. Please stop.

Are all these drawings yours?

Yes, some of them were made by me. Some of them are from me.

Thank you, Julia.

It's nothing he's never seen before.

- You have a girlfriend, don't you? - Not really, no.

Wow, you're so young.

Go out, have fun.

Date everyone while you can.

Double date! Take George, he never leaves.

If he wants to.

Have you finished, darling?

Leave the dishes and go have fun.

Thank you very much for dinner. It was great.

It's a pleasure.

Well, congratulations. That was embarrassing.

So...

This is...

Thank you.

Sorry, let me just...

Please sit down.

- Are you on guard duty? - No. I'm going...

- So... - So, you wanted to know

a bit more about triangles?

Yes, I'm dying to to learn more about triangles.

Well done, good. Good attitude.

Let's take a look here, then.

Actually, it's a bit complicated.

- What are they? - They're just ribbons.

What, celebrities? My dad's there.

It's from a radio program I like.

What are these?

They're nothing. That's...

That's something I used to do when I was a kid,

but now I don't do it anymore.

These are all from last year.

As I said,

I don't do that anymore.

- Can I hear one? - No!

I'm sorry. It's just that they're...

They're personal. They're like a diary, you won't...

I'm sorry.

Anyway, you want to start doing a bit of...

We could, but I don't care about math.

To be honest, I think you know less than I do.

But I wouldn't mind to hear your music again.

Can you show me how it starts?

No problem.

It's not going to be as good as usual

because I've just eaten a lot. I'm still digesting.

It's all right. Just play the damn song.

Yes.

Right.

I'll repeat that quickly.

Perfect, perfect. Keep going.

Have you written lyrics or do you have a melody?

No? That's fine.

Can I touch it?

Yes, yes, of course.

I'm thinking of starting at the bottom.

Maybe if we try to find her, and she starts in that tone?

That's very good. Then we'll do some...

I thought that was very good. Let's work on it,

but I think it's good.

From the beginning... One, two, three, four...

Taking me with you

And then we go to the chorus

When we find him

That's very good. We'll find it.

Would you do the talent show with me?

What's that? No.

I can play and you can sing.

- We can do it here. - Nobody listens to us here.

So what?

Look, if you want to do the talent show, that's fine.

And I've already told you that I'll help you with the music, but...

When the day comes, it's just you.

No one will listen if it's just me.

- Of course they'll listen. - No, they won't.

- George, if... - Sorry, I don't mean to be rude,

but you can't understand because you are...

You.

Sorry, I have to go.

No problem.

I want to keep doing this if you want me to.

Absolutely.

Great.

Thank you for teaching me so much about triangles.

You're welcome.

Hello.

I was going to the bathroom, which is...

That way. I wasn't listening.

But if I were listening, it sounded very, very good.

Julia, you need to go to the bathroom.

The name is still Mom and I have to go.

It was a pleasure to meet you, Max.

You too. Thank you for seeing me.

Whenever you want. Really, whenever you want.

Right, I've got to go.

Right...

See you tomorrow.

- I'll accompany you. - It's all right. I'm not the queen. I'm not the queen.

MUSIC IS NOT MATH, BECAUSE I HATE MATH

TRACK 4 TAKE ME FOR A WALK

Hi, sorry.

No problem.

I have something for you.

I cleaned the chip and charged it, it should work fine.

Don't worry.

You won't be able to let go of this thing now.

Speaking of phones, a girl asked me for my number.

Which girl?

You must be in one of these.

That's from a long time ago.

I've changed a lot. You won't find me.

It's you!

And your face?

In the middle of a sneeze. Were you talking about this girl?

You should wear your bangs again. It looks great on you.

Yes, later. The girl? Who was the girl?

Molly, is she in our class?

Do you know her?

- More or less. - She's cute, isn't she?

Yes, a beautiful face.

She's probably in one of those.

Did you give her your number?

Yes, why not?

Yes, yes, that's...

Yes, why not?

- My goodness... - Why are you seeing this?

It's boring and old.

- What are you doing together? - Just talking.

Cool.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that you were incredible at soccer.

Like that goal you scored...

- Wow! - Thank you.

Are you doing anything this weekend?

I'm going to the city tomorrow.

Yes, we'd love to.

What?

Nothing.

Don't worry if you're busy.

He's not.

That's perfect, then.

I'll write to you later?

I don't think I should...

Why? She invited us.

No, they invited you, like a...

- Like a date. - Yes, she can take a friend.

A double date.

Of course.

See you tomorrow.

Dress well.

- Hello. - What's up?

- Why are you so sweaty? - What a nice outfit.

It's the jacket, it's suede.

But it's worth it. You look great.

They didn't have vanilla vodka.

George, this is Polly. Polly, George.

You'll get on very well.

Face of one, snout of the other.

Do you hear anything?

Music, it's...

Man, I love music.

You played the recorder, right? I remember that.

Polly, come on.

Come over here.

Hello!

What's up?

I don't think I know how to do that.

- What are you doing with Molly? - I'm doing nothing.

I tried that. It didn't work.

Just follow the rhythm.

I don't know what that means!

I need specific advice, is that okay?

- How are you doing? - I don't know...

I'm just walking, and she seems having fun, so...

But come on, let's take off the jacket.

I feel it's restricting you.

Let's take off your jacket.

- And you must be hot. - Yes, I...

See? That's much better.

Let's sort it out. Let's relax our shoulders,

let your shoulders relax.

That's right. See, that's better.

Let's do some steps, make the bars.

The simple ones.

- And the doubles. - Do you want me to do it?

Let's do the triples, with a small jump, a good jump.

And some fours too.

Do you know all four? Keep going.

Let's get drunk.

If you help me, I think I can improve.

No, that doesn't make sense.

- You did very well. - Yes, that's right.

Yes, I did.

Let's see if we can do this from the start.

Almost...

Very kind, but I... No, thank you.

Let's go. I know you hate this as much as I do.

No, I'm having a great time.

I love the city,

and you're so...

- That was very good! - Yes!

Sorry, I'm usually better on dates.

It's not your fault.

It's typical of me to be dragged on a date with a gay man.

Why do you think that?

I don't usually dress like this.

It doesn't matter.

Are you all right?

So, what now?

- I don't know. What time is it? - Cara,

it's 15:30.

What?

- Jeffrey... Do you remember? - Yes.

He said to come back at 4:00. Homework.

- To hell with that. - Yes.

Of course. I'm an adult now, so...

My parents don't understand that.

If I want to go home, say, at 4:30,

whatever.

Show them, man.

Yes.

Like... What do you mean?

You know, standing up for yourself.

That's right. In other words.

As I said, I can go home at 4:30.

I think you should send a firm message.

TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS

- Beautiful drawing. - Thanks. What? Holy shit!

Rick, the mask.

Right...

Did you think it wise to come here?

Have you seen new street art popping up around town?

You came here unannounced.

He thought: "Let's find out his true identity."

Pathetic.

- We just wanted some piercings. - What's that?

Right.

I recognize you.

Yes? You don't know?

Rick does the piercings, then...

- I'm having lunch. - What's lunch?

I'm having lunch.

Let's sort it out.

I think he lives here.

In there.

Do you want piercings or not?

Right, I think that's about right.

- I want it that way. - Yes, it could be that way.

What do you think?

Yes.

Let's give it a try.

If it doesn't work this time, I'll try again.

All right, all right. Quick, quick, get the piercing.

Put the piercing in.

Very good. That's perfect.

What's up?

Right. Your turn.

Okay.

Right, what do we do?

I think an eyebrow would look good.

Yes, I can imagine that.

Eyebrows, that's crazy.

Let's take action.

Let's see...

Maybe in the ear, I think.

- For now. - Yes.

- Maybe the eyebrow afterwards... - No problem, yes.

Everything's fine.

Okay, I'll just put it here. No problem.

Okay, fine.

That's normal. It's totally normal.

I could have been a filmmaker, but I said no.

- I'm an artist, an entrepreneur, an activist. - Max!

I knew I knew you. It's in the paper!

Is your parents' divorce your fault?

Damn, they've found me.

- What are you doing? - Is your parents' divorce your fault?

I...

Max, why the piercing? Is it a cry for help?

Do you feel guilty for your parents' divorce?

You, there...

How do you know each other? What do you think?

- Do you know what I think? - You know what I think?

Come on, come on!

- He broke my camera. - Go, go, go!

So, Stinky Rick...

No, it's Richard Hemming. But my street name is Rick Magrelo.

And who are you?

To hell with the press!

- What the hell! - Tell them they did it.

Those bloody leeches!

He was chasing us. How can that be legal?

How many people get pierced?

How many parents get divorced?

- Why does it have to be a cry for help? - I'm sorry.

No problem.

It looks a bit red.

Yes, it itches a bit.

You should take it off before you go home.

You can't take it off.

Why not? Why not?

It's too soon, the hole will close.

- How long should I wait? - About six weeks.

- Damn... - Oh my God.

I have to go home.

Of course, no problem.

Be honest...

Do you like it?

What was that all about?

That dance you did in the park?

It was a time step.

I'll show you. Start with a jump.

Jump, step, leap.

Forget it. I'll never be able to do that.

Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

Yes.

Pull.

I said pull!

No.

No.

Julia, please be patient.

George?

- Oh my God. - Breathe.

Yes, I'm breathing.

Breathe, Jeff. Let's go.

Yes, let's go. Wait, wait, no.

No.

Hello!

Is that my jacket?

What about my shirt?

Why are you wearing your mother's clothes?

- Wow! - Why are you late?

- Because I wanted to be late. - What was that?

Have you been drinking?

- Go, go, go! - It's okay, Julia. Julia?

- It's no good. Now, let it go. - Okay, sure.

Let's see why our son was late

drunk and wearing his clothes.

Take off the damn headphones.

For God's sake.

What kind of drug is that?

Piercing.

It looks good on him.

Yes, having an ear infection looks very good on him.

It's very recent. Did it hurt?

- Yes, it's a bit... - Yes. Don't touch it.

- I loved it. - Me too.

Of course, he didn't go alone.

Max also made one.

You're getting on well, aren't you?

- I'm very happy. - Yes, but not me.

From my point of view, he's a bad influence.

I'm sorry, there's no way. You'll have to wear jeans.

You know what? Forget it, we're not going.

- We've lost the last three. - And we'll lose the next three.

I'm tired of you underestimating me!

I'm not underestimating you.

Your pants won't zip.

- I'm just saying... - I'm talking about George!

What? He put a piercing in his ear! It's his life!

- That he's ruining it! - Yes, what about our lives?

What about our wedding?

Don't be so dramatic, Julia.

I'm fine. You know what, I'm going alone.

You can stay here with your damn pants,

I don't mind.

FROM: MAX MOLLY ASKED

IF MY PARENTS HAVE A JET. NO MORE DATES.

BAND 5 TEENAGE SCOUNDREL

That way.

Let's go. Hurry up.

Let's go.

Right, okay.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

eleven, twelve, thirteen...

Well done!

They're all here.

Andy.

Button.

It's been a while.

Turtle Beach.

Turtle Beach.

Everyone, this is our hostess,

Donna Button.

Donna, these are our from the final year.

Some of you

must be thinking that this trip will be a bit of fun.

Organized by your school before the final exams.

This is a training camp

created to push them to their limits.

To achieve things that perhaps you didn't think you were capable of.

Stay tuned!

Listen to the instructions.

Welcome to Keldy Action Camp.

It's not a place,

but a state of mind.

All right. Let's go.

Turtle Beach.

Turtle Beach.

There was a crazy tension there, don't you think?

Hello, Max.

This place is really boring, isn't it?

As if we were sixteen.

Do you smoke?

You should.

- Why? - It suits you.

I'm going to sneak out tonight to smoke.

Are you coming with me?

- Alone. - No need, thanks.

It's all right. I'll write to you when I go to smoke,

- if you want to go... - He doesn't smoke.

Did I talk to you, asshole?

Hey! Stop that.

Why are you with him?

It's like a charity where you adopt a donkey?

I prefer him to you on any occasion.

Jesus, take a joke.

That's it...

It's not a canoe. It's a kayak.

And there's a big difference.

Canoes are for tourists and poetry readers.

This is an extreme sport.

Now, to give you an idea...

I think it's the best thing I've ever seen,

but I think it's a bad idea to annoy her.

-Try rowing -What are you so afraid of?

While a grizzly bear swims swiftly after you.

You know, it's a real shame.

If she was really nice, she'd be the whole package.

Underwater.

But I won't let them get close...

So, if she was nice, would she be your type?

What is the greatest danger

at Keldy Action Camp? Anyone?

- Boredom? - Good. Anyone else?

You.

You are the most dangerous object in this camp.

Any smokers here?

I don't think I have a type.

- Right, but you must... - You!

Chatty,

you're going to help me demonstrate our first exercise.

I won't let you near a kayak

until they have mastered it.

I need another volunteer.

Both of you,

this is an exercise in trust

but it will also be difficult for them to feel at ease

to overcome their limits.

Are you all right, soldier?

I understand.

It's not for cowards.

But believe me, the rewards are limitless.

I'll show you.

- My goodness... - I've got you. That's all right.

Have you set foot yet?

Yes, if you can help me.

Right.

I always hold you.

With the right attitude and under my guidance,

you will make the most dangerous maneuvers

of the kayaking world.

On my whistle, Molly will do a spin underwater with George,

will keep you down for a while

and then bring it back to the surface.

On my signal.

What was I saying all this time?

If you turn this thing close to the edge,

you can open someone's skull like a watermelon.

I've already seen it.

I don't trust you in this pool. Go take a bath.

This

is a bearing.

What happened, George?

Do you really want to finish school without anything to show for it?

I won't have anything.

The Talent Show.

Sorry, the Talent Show?

What are you talking about?

I signed up.

I'm going to prove to everyone that I'm not a loser,

that I'm good at something.

All right. But...

After the show, everyone leaves, George.

That's why it's called Graduate Talent Show.

The school will have finished

and the only important thing will be work,

the grades, the tests that will open or close doors

for the rest of his life.

I don't mind.

You may not care now, but you're sixteen.

Do you know what you'll feel in ten years' time?

You don't know how I'm going to feel either.

I don't want to upset you, George.

We've been there. We've had to make difficult decisions.

I had one,

and I can honestly say that

Yes, I made the right choice.

Yes, I'm the director of Level 3

in one of the fifteen best schools in West Yorkshire.

If I hadn't made that difficult decision,

I'd be wandering around doing nothing with my life.

No steps to climb,

no savings, no security, just...

Wasting my life with...

Think about it, okay?

I've never tried sucking myself.

Man, ask us something to drink.

Do you want to take part?

Max, ask one.

All right...

I've never...

I had fantasies about Molly Olson.

See, that's a good one.

Man, she's so perfect!

It makes me very angry!

Your turn.

Okay.

I've never...

Come on, man. We're getting sober.

Sorry.

I've never...

I kissed my own reflection, just to practice.

What's that? No.

I would never kiss a boy, even if it was me.

Yes, that's gay.

I've never...

BOX 6 MALE NEEDS

- Can I get you something to drink? - Yes.

Great.

Stop, Max, stop.

Is it worth it?

Yes.

Hey!

Max, wait.

Max!

Fucking journalist!

- Did you see it? - Who else would it be?

No, no. It can't be, not here.

Don't worry.

It's very dark.

Let's go.

I'm freezing.

Sorry, I was a bit drunk.

Don't worry, everything's fine.

- Who do you think... - It doesn't matter.

As you said, it was too dark to take a good picture.

My God, did you shit your pants?

Then send me a message.

George?

Can you come into the living room for a minute, darling?

How was the trip?

Why are you sitting like that?

We just want to have a quick chat, buddy.

Do you want it?

No, you go.

No problem.

Your mother thought that...

No, we both thought that,

that while you were away

It would be a good opportunity to...

You know, having a good conversation.

And you may have noticed that things are a bit tense here.

And you know, that's not healthy for any of us.

You don't have to worry, okay?

Your father and I decided to to give each other a little space.

Just a little. It's as if we were going on vacation,

but separate, right?

Then, at some point, we'll come back from vacation and...

And then we'll see.

Is it the earring? Because I can take it off now.

No, George. That's not it.

Darling, it's not you.

Hello.

I just want to show you something.

I think it's a bit tacky.

I wouldn't wear that, but...

My editor disagrees and will publish it in tomorrow's paper.

I haven't read the article yet,

but apparently it speaks a serious drug problem.

What's that? That's a big lie.

Yes, I know. But they don't want to listen to me.

Look, I'm not a monster.

The reputation of an innocent young man is at stake,

and you have the chance to clarify things

before they publish this garbage.

Are you his best friend? Are you his boyfriend?

What do you want?

Your name, for a start.

George.

So, this photo of you and Max Marvin,

consumed illicit substances at the time?

No, not at all.

That's a photo of you and Max Marvin, and you weren't using drugs?

Yes, no... No, we're not.

Surname?

Bobbin.

Thank you, Mr. Bobbin.

You were very kind to your boyfriend.

Yes, I'm free tonight.

If you need a model, I know an excellent one.

Toby Long. Of course it is. That's him!

Have a great day, darling.

Sorry, I spoke to my son.

MAX MARVIN KISSES MUD MAN

I knew it.

- George! - No, no, no.

- George! George! - Are you two together?

Do you just want fame, George?

- George, George! - Have you met the Marvins?

Excuse me.

You can stop right there or I'll call the police.

They need to leave now.

It's the boyfriend.

NO NEW MESSAGES

FROM MAX: MEET ME AT MACK'S CAFÉ

The reporter said

that they would do a story about you using drugs,

and how crazy I was going.

They said I could clarify things and I...

I'm leaving.

Where did you...

- For how long? - I'm going to live with my father.

I thought you liked it here.

My mother barely gets out of bed.

There are journalists everywhere.

At least in London, I go unnoticed.

I got it wrong, very wrong.

But please, please...

Stay.

I need you here.

What do you need me for?

You are...

Well, for many things.

Yes, like what?

Like...

- I can't touch my... - What?

The school talent show? Is that right?

No, no.

- No, that's... - What else, then?

Just tell me.

Why do you want me to stay?

You know...

BAND 7 DRY YOUR EYES

MAX MARVIN KISSES MUD MAN

I'm sorry that they did this to you.

Let it ring.

Whoever you are, you can leave a message.

It's me.

Call back.

Hello.

Yes, yes, he's here.

George?

Are you all right?

Anyway, I just wanted to...

Why didn't you tell us?

We're your parents, you should have said.

SILENCE, PLEASE TESTS IN PROGRESS

BAND 8 HEARTBEATS

- Adams? - Here.

- Bartlett? - Present.

Bobbin?

That's enough.

George, meet me later. Daniels?

It's a cliché, but it's true...

Today's news is tomorrow's old newspaper.

Let me know if you need anything.

Hello, would you like a lift?

- I can walk. - Come on, let's go. I left work early.

All right with the exams?

I never said...

About the newspaper.

- I didn't deal with it... - That's fine.

Damn.

Oh my God.

So...

I think...

So you're gay, huh?

By the way, I'm not judging.

I'm not.

How long have you known?

I don't know.

I don't know if I...

You're still figuring things out.

That's valid.

Listen...

I know I can be a bit of a spoiler.

You must think it's because I don't understand you.

God, I hated school.

I hated being his age.

I never knew

the right thing to say or the right thing to do.

It always seemed so easy for others.

It was frustrating.

That feeling never went away for me.

So when I see you going your own way,

I get very scared, George, because I love you.

And I don't want to see you unhappy.

But you seem to be unhappy.

You were right, I...

This was my year to sort everything out.

I really thought I had solved it.

Now it's too late.

No.

It's never too late, man,

do you understand?

Yes.

Never.

Oops, okay!

Imbecile!

Unbelievable.

Hello.

Hello.

If you have something to wash, speak now or forever hold your peace.

- Dad gave me a lift home. - How nice.

What's that?

It's a pamphlet.

Music college? That's a good idea.

I haven't heard you play lately. Shouldn't you practise for the concert?

I'm giving up.

It seems like a waste after so much work.

It was a waste.

Nobody cares, nobody listens.

I'm not good enough.

You can't close yourself off when things don't work out, George.

Things never work out.

And they never will if you give up.

- You have to fight. - You don't fight.

Dad's gone and you're acting like...

You're here doing the laundry.

I'm getting on with my life.

Your father and I have tried everything.

Everything. And we're still trying because we love each other.

You do the best you can.

But at the end of the day, you have to move on.

If you want Max,

stop whining and go talk to him.

And I'd better listen to the keyboard at maximum volume, do you hear me?

I said that my tapes were like a diary,

but they are also a fantasy.

I used to imagine millions of people tuned in,

attentive to my every word...

Because they loved me.

This tape is for you.

GRADUATE TALENT SHOW 2006

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Welcome, everyone

to the Saint Sebastian by Saint Sebastian in 2006.

Before we start,

I would like to address directly to the graduates.

School life has been, in a way, his whole life so far.

But the day after tomorrow, you will enter into a new and much bigger world,

where they will be responsible for the choices they make.

Be bold

and remember:

"Patet Omnibus Veritas.

"The truth is open to all".

Let the show begin!

A student is an oak sapling,

planted gently in the soil,

protected from the pecking of birds with a bad influence.

So I did this for my final exam with my new cell phone.

It's about nature and things like that.

So, to all the memories,

school trips, discos and plays.

If you're sad about leaving, you're an idiot,

and I hope you spend your life in misery and regret.

I don't mind!

Misery and regret

for the rest of his days.

Thank you, Polly.

Moving on! Now we have George Bobbin.

Here we go.

What the hell are you wearing?

That's fine. Start from the beginning, pick up the pace.

BONUS BAND A BAD AND FUNNY IDEA

He's really good.

Let's go!

That's right, Jeffrey! Everybody!

Thank you all!

You did it.

Give it up for George Bobbin, everyone!

Hello, Button.

I love you, George!

Wow!

I'm so proud!

That took a lot of courage.

- Thanks, Mom. - Lots of courage!

- Mom, stop. - Lots of courage!

- It was incredible, excellent work. - Thanks, Dad.

I'd like you to meet someone.

This is my father. Dad, this is George, his mother Julia,

and his father, Jeffrey.

I'm sorry. I feel ridiculous about this, but...

I didn't want to cause a fuss, and I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Hello!

I'm a big fan!

- Thank you very much. - Yes, indeed,

- me too. I'm a big fan. - Thanks, man.

And this is the famous George.

- He's cute. - Dad, stop!

I think we should celebrate.

Espresso Martini, what do you think?

Yes, we have to get up early, but if we don't take too many...

Yes, I... You know what?

I think I ruined my back with dancing.

Go on, have fun.

I'm proud of you.

Bye, Dad.

Thank you,

I'm very tempted.

But I have to go. I'll stay with your father, yes.

I'm leaving, going home. Can you get home?

- Yes, of course. - Yes, that's fine.

Bye. Everything's fine.

- Well done. - Mom, are you...

Bye.

- Your mother is great. - Dad!

Hello, Mr. Marvin. I'm Lucinda Shan,

principal of Saint Sebastian School.

And I'm a big fan.

Well, thank you.

I'd like to know if you want to venture out.

The school. The school grounds are beautiful.

Would you like to go for a walk?

- Yes. I'd love to. - That's great.

I'll meet you in ten minutes?

Have fun, guys.

I received your tape.

A very eclectic mix.

So, you...

are you going back to London?

But my mother will still be here,

then I'm going back.

- That's right. - It's Mike Marvin!

- He's here! - My God, it's Mike Marvin!

I should go and get him before they do.

I'll send you messages, okay?

I think you should stay.

I want you to stay

at least during the summer.

What do you want to do?

I don't know.

Going to the city?

Getting an eyebrow piercing.

Great.

Come on, honey, we have to go. We're going to be late.

Right, my love.

There's money to buy Thai food or pizza.

- Sorry. - Whatever you want.

- You look beautiful. - So do you!

Is everything all right?

- Yes. - Yes? Well done. Have fun!

Flamenco won't dance alone, let's go!

- See you later. - Bye.
