[snoring]

[Mia] Whoa. Okay.

Not my bed.

This isn't my bed.

[snoring continues]

[Mia] And that's not me.

Naked?

Naked. And

No.

Yep. Also naked.

Zero to sex, Mia.

How the f*ck did we get here?

[woman] You're a dirty pig.

- [people moaning on phone]

- [whip cracking]

[Mia] Why is everyone

so obsessed with sex?

- [moaning on phone]

- Oh my God!

Nah, wait, Will.

I've got to show you "the Tax Collector."

[Mia] More importantly, why is everything

around sex so completely alien to me?

- Oh!

- Ugh.

What?

[Mia] I know I should want it,

but the thought of being naked,

being touched, being looked at,

makes me want to throw up.

Almost as much as knowing

the smarmy f*ck

I call best friends have been

lying to me for months.

- Ugh.

- [laughing]

- [Will] So, what's the plan?

- What?

For later. We all have frees,

we should do something.

Where's the list?

Let's see what Mia still needs to do.

[Cameron] Ooh, drugs.

Sex! Ooh, Mia.

Chance would be a fine thing.

[Mia] sh*t. Laugh like

you've bedded a thousand women.

[awkward chuckle]

[Cameron] Ooh.

[Mia] Um

How about this one? Break the law?

- Yeah! Full f*cking gangster, I love it.

- I don't know if Becs'd be down for that.

UCAS don't smile on felons.

- I'm down.

- [scoffing]

[Mia] Sex b*llet dodged.

[Cameron] How 'bout

we swipe those keys, then?

[Carli] Whose keys?

Her mum's an estate agent.

She's been showing off

this swanky house for the whole week. Hmm?

- Yeah? How about it?

- Yeah, we could try, I guess.

[Cameron] All right, Becs!

- [laughing]

- Sounds great.

I'll have to move some things around,

but I will most definitely be there.

[Mia] How are you everywhere?

Okay, um

Alison, welcome to

Operation Selling Sunset.

We rally at noon.

It's past two.

We rally later!

[upbeat music playing]

Keira Knightley.

Dish.

- On what?

- What you've been so frowny about lately.

You've barely said a word all week.

Come on. Tell Mama Will what's up.

Becca and Cameron.

At Reading.

How did you

- Will!

- Well, how did you find out?

Her phone. I saw a text he sent her.

Will!

- No, no, no. I've been sworn to secrecy.

- William.

[sighs]

Fine. You've twisted my arm.

- They shagged all night long.

- No.

Yep. Like proper, full-on, thought they'd

swallow each other whole kind of shaggage.

Had to bring them

Quavers and Lucozade in the interim.

Like a sexy sex butler.

Wait, you were there?

Yeah. And they've been at it

like nympho bunnies ever since.

[Mia] I thought it was just Reading.

Oi, oi! We're here.

[exciting music playing]

I'm so webbed, I could break

these f*cking gates down by myself.

f*ck me westwards.

Oh yeah.

Come on then, Becs.

[music continues]

[laughing]

[Mia] What is it about sex that makes

everyone think it's okay to lie?

Cam and Becca lied about having it.

Will lied about not having it.

And me?

- [lock clicks, door opens]

- I'm just a frigid, honest virgin.

Nah.

Oh, stop it.

- No.

- [Cameron laughing] f*cking hell.

[Will] What?

[Cameron whooping]

[vocalizing]

- There's a pool.

- [Carli] What?

[Will] There's a pool. Come, Carli.

[Cameron] Oh my God.

[Carli] This is crazy.

Bedroom. Spotted.

Oh.

Wow.

[Will] Babe, what's in there?

- It's a grand piano.

- No!

- No, it's a grand pi [laughs]

- [Will] The budget.

Oh Becs, you've done it again.

- You've nailed it.

- [Carli gasps] Wow.

I feel like a corporate stooge.

I just feel like a high-end wh*re.

Okay, okay, please be careful.

[Cameron] It looks like a giant knob.

You know what would be fun in this house?

Double Dip.

Oh yeah.

- Mm.

- Double what?

Double Dip. It's a drinking game.

We split off into teams of two,

and you have an hour

to finish the entire bottle.

I'm thinking Becca and Cameron.

Ooh, yeah. Good idea.

She can drink me under the table.

[Will] Uh, Mia and

Oh, I'll go with Mia, obviously.

What? Why?

I'm the most hardcore,

and you have the lowest tolerance.

No, I don't.

Well, um, I guess that just leaves us two.

My high-end wh*re!

Mm! Right, okay. Everyone, after me,

recite the Double Dip pledge.

[Cameron] Oh.

I solemnly swear

[all] I solemnly swear

[Will]that I will finish my drink.

[all]that I will finish my drink.

[Will] And if my partner

cannot finish theirs

[all] And if my partner

cannot finish theirs

I will down that m*therf*cker!

[all]I will down that m*therf*cker!

[Will] To Double Dip!

[all] To Double Dip!

[all cheering]

[music fades]

[Mia] f*cking sex.

f*cking friends. f*cking meal plan.

What's up, chicken?

[Mia] Hmm?

You're thinking.

What about?

Nothing.

Nothing important.

Oh, come on. You can talk to me.

I've never tried.

I might be a really good listener.

Becca and Cameron.

They, um

did it.

And?

And?

And what?

It's a bit bloody obvious, isn't it?

I mean, they're practically on heat.

You can smell the pheromones

from miles off.

I just don't know why they'd lie about it.

I mean, do they think that I'm such

a massive prude I can't even talk about

You know.

f*cking?

[clears throat]

Oh, I see what's going on.

You're scared of sex.

- No, I'm not.

- Yes, you are.

- This is not about them lying.

- Yes, it is.

This is about you being mad

that they're all getting it on,

and you're too chicken

to cash in your V card.

Not true. So not true.

Hey.

There's no shame

in being intimidated, okay?

Sex seems like

everything until you have it.

Then it's like

[sighs] It's more.

[Mia] Could that be true?

I thought I was just

scared of the "me" part of sex,

not the thing itself.

Could it be that I'm just incapable

of wanting someone that way?

[chuckles]

Wouldn't think

this was made with grain, huh?

- No.

- Hmm.

Doesn't have any of the, uh

[clicks tongue]

What are they called?

- Sediments.

- That's the one.

- I spy with my little eye

- [groans softly]

Oh, come on, Becs. I'm trying here.

Least you could do is give me some effort.

Oh, so, you have my body

and time for eight months,

that weren't enough,

and now you want effort?

I could settle for just body.

[murmurs] And a little bit of time,

too, might be quite nice.

And we both know

you don't need much of that.

Oh, ouch!

[Cameron gasps]

Oh my Oh my God!

[laughs] Oh, so you want to go there?

- Let's go there.

- Oh no, no, no. No, I can't.

I can't hit a girl.

They are just too cute.

Oh, yeah. Mm.

[Cameron chuckles]

"Paint It Black"

is overrated.

Yeah, f*ck off.

- Oh.

- Uh-uh.

- Die Hard [laughs]

- Oh!

is, ugh, boring.

[laughing] It's not gonna happen.

- Hole were better than Nirvana!

- La-la-la! La-la-la! La!

f*cking fight! f*cking fight!

[yelps, giggles]

- [laughs]

- Hm.

["Sad Girl" by moa moa playing]

Score!

Well sure.

Any hole's a goal, my friend.

Oh, we should, um we should

really start making some headway on this.

Um, I actually don't drink.

Oh! [laughs] Mm-mm.

We're gonna need

a few more lessons. [laughs]

- [laughing]

- Wait, wait, wait. Why don't you drink?

Trying to seem quirky, I guess.

- Mm-mm. You are lying.

- Well, why do you drink?

Who doesn't love a social lubricant?

Everything tastes better.

All your jokes land,

or at least you think they do.

Everyone's better looking, and so are you,

so everyone's an option.

- That how you scored Gareth?

- Oh.

I didn't need help there.

All down to charisma.

Pure and simple and entirely me.

[grunts]

Just a shame I can't seem to impart

any of my wisdom onto you lot.

How so?

Well, um, the others

won't tell you this, but

Mm-hmm?

I'm kind of the puppet master

of the group.

The puppet master?

I know everything about everyone.

What do you know about me?

You are an enigma.

Except

Except?

Nah, I couldn't possibly.

- Okay, no worries.

- Someone likes you.

What?

Who?

[Alison] Mia, Mia, Mia.

Riven with hormones but petrified of sex.

Piss off.

And

[laughs]

And petulant too.

You know, I've heard

a good shag can sort that right out.

How, hmm? With who?

Nobody's exactly

banging my door down for it.

One thing you will learn

when you enter the world of sex-havers,

is women can pull literally

wherever they go. Zero effort.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

You've just got to know how to put it

out there and where to look for it.

Great. I don't know

either of those things.

I dunno, I just never

really learned how to flirt.

I never learned

Like, what are your moves?

- Right, uh, yeah.

- [laughs]

But, you know,

you've got stuff going for you,

if you just play into it.

You've got this, like, twitchy,

skinny, andro-rocker vibe going on.

It's like a nervous Jagger.

[laughs] Right, so in the '70s,

I would've been so in.

I think you're in.

- [snorts, laughs]

- At least I can spell it.

[scoffs] All right.

[laughing]

Ah!

God, look at us.

Getting smashed

in a house that we broke into.

I can't think of a less

Becca set of circumstances.

- What does that mean?

- I mean, it's just not very you, is it?

Most of the times we've fooled around

has been mid-revision session.

And is that how you think of me?

A study buddy that happens to be easy?

No. Uh

I just mean, like,

we all stay in our lanes.

It's a balance.

I need you because you're, like,

smart and sensible and stuff.

And you need me

to bring the fun. [chuckling]

Right. Because how could

old boring Becca ever be fun?

Nah, don't get it twisted.

No, like, you you can be fun.

- Just, like, in a different way.

- You know, never mind.

[scoffs]

- I don't know how I could have forgotten.

- Forgotten what? Becca?

How f*cking small you make me feel.

- Okay, this is the one. This is it.

- [Carli] Mm-hmm?

[grunts, groans]

Have I won yet?

Ah!

Tell me who likes me.

A puppet master never reveals his strings.

You have to tell me.

- What if I like them back?

- Do you?

I don't know.

But there's someone

you would like it to be?

Maybe.

b*tch.

Who do you like?

Who likes me?

[cell phone chimes]

Ah! The dip has been doubled.

Everyone! To the lounge with you all.

Proof of purchase, everyone!

[tapping on bottle]

So, how did everyone find it?

Fine. A bit dull.

[Will] Any, uh highlights?

Mia's full of secrets.

Um

- So what now?

- Something fun.

[Will] Yes.

We've barely scratched the surface.

We should get to know each other.

Mm, I've known you guys since I was nine.

[Will] Okay, but Carli,

does anyone really know Carli?

- We should be bonding.

- I'm down to get to know Carli.

I like bonding.

I've got it.

- "Never Have I Ever!"

- [chuckling]

Mm! f*ck yeah!

- I'm in.

- All right.

- [groans]

- [Will] Come on.

Let's get it all out in the open.

Yeah.

Yeah, let's do it.

- No!

- Ah!

Never have I ever sh*t myself in public.

Hey!

- That is rank!

- [all groan]

- What? Seriously?

- [Will] Are you not embarrassed?

- This is really embarrassing!

- Shut up!

Anyway, uh, never have I ever

said the wrong person's name in bed.

Ew, no. No.

[Carli gasps]

Okay, okay. Every posh boy is called

Henry or James, you can sue me.

- [laughing]

- Classic. All right, Mia, you're next.

Okay.

Never have I ever

had sex in a tent.

["IAMDDB" by JGL playing faintly]

Okay, then.

Uh, never have I ever gotten a hickey.

- Easy.

- Mm.

- Uh, excuse me, drink up.

- What?

Remember Year Nine, when I went

through that platonic hickey phase?

- No, please don't make me drink anymore.

- Fine, you can have a forfeit.

You have to

kiss somebody in this room.

On the lips. And I want a real snog.

No pecking.

- Proper tonsil deep-tissue.

- [Cameron chuckles]

[Mia] f*ck me.

Hop to it.

["Don't Come Back" by Lava La Rue playing]

[Mia] I've kissed Becca before,

but right now, I'd rather punch her.

Alison would be

too ashamed to tell anyone.

Will and I could laugh about it,

but I'd rather not play tonsil tennis

with that barefaced liar either.

Carli.

Carli.

I wonder what it'd be like

to feel her lips on mine.

To touch her.

To be lost in her magic.

And then you make me feel numb and free ♪

- It's lovely ♪

- [music fades]

[Cameron murmurs]

That's different.

Wow. Yeah, that's

something.

Quite something.

Uh [laughs]

f*cking A, Mia. Who taught you all that?

Just gifted.

[Mia] Oh my God, f*ck.

I just fully kissed my brother.

You use Vaseline?

Glossier Original.

Are you okay, Becs?

Fine.

Bathroom.

Uh, well, I could use another drink.

Uh, Mia, come with?

Why?

You were gonna show me

how to make that drink, remember?

A Keira Knightley?

Mm, yeah, right.

[Will] Mm-hmm.

What the hell was that? I practically had

her tongue gift-wrapped for you.

- I couldn't kiss her in a bloody game.

- But you can kiss Cameron? Cameron!

Oh, just chill.

It's no big deal.

I'm just messing with them a little.

You don't get to mess with them,

and not without my say-so.

I'm the Kris Jenner in this equation.

Besides, why do you even care so much?

I just hate liars.

[indistinct chatter from other room]

[Mia] Gents. What say

we take this party to the next level?

[chuckling] Yeah, like upstairs?

[Mia] Like guests.

Six people in a house

drinking booze we bought ourselves.

That's not breaking the law.

That's barely noteworthy.

[Becca] f*ck it.

Right?

[Will] Might be

pushing our luck a little bit.

I wonder what it would feel like,

what my body would do.

I think about it, and it's like waking

parched in the middle of the night.

But how could she ever bear to touch you?

[gasps]

[song continues]

[Carli] You all danced out?

Um

Yeah.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

Why?

I'm guessing all this

must be a lot for you.

[Mia] And there it is. The pity.

[muffled] No. I just think

I've maybe overdone it a bit.

Do you want to sit down?

Or we could go for a walk?

Look, I'm not really

a party person anyway, if you just

wanted to hang out.

[normal] It's fine.

You go. Keep dancing.

You're really good.

Oh, okay. Well, maybe later, then?

You need to stop this now. Seriously.

Oh, please.

- f*cking move.

- [Will] Look, it's not fair to him or her.

This isn't even for anything.

- This is just mean now.

- Thank you.

- Mia!

- [Mia giggles]

- Mia, listen to me.

- Move out the f*cking way.

Look, Mia. Mia, stop.

Look. I know you, and this isn't it.

- You like Carli.

- Hm.

Who f*cking cares?

Why can't I just be like all of you?

Getting with who I want when I want.

Because you can't throw yourself around

for the sake of some stupid secret.

Trust me.

This is just one of those things.

You'll look back tomorrow

and it'll be embarrassing.

- It's better to just stop

- Embarrassing?

Well, at least he knows

my f*cking name. [snickers]

And what does that mean?

I met Gareth.

Oh, sorry, should I say "Cheese Guy"?

He doesn't even f*cking know

who you are, Will.

Let me guess.

You fancy him.

He couldn't give two shits about you.

You can't take the hit,

so you lie to everyone

about this big, f*cked-up love story.

Hmm. Well, how is that for embarrassing?

[chuckles]

What? Huh?

You all high and mighty for the guy

stringing along the anorexic freak?

How much did you and your mates laugh

when I was actually stupid enough

to turn up that night?

- I swear, that's not how I meant it.

- [Cameron] What's going on?

No, no, no. Don't even

get me f*cking started on you.

You take a year of my life, Cam, a year,

and now you're taking my best friend too?

- I I dunno what you're talking about.

- Don't act like you're stupid.

- Nobody'll know the difference.

- Please, Mia, that's enough!

No, don't you dare talk down to me

like you're not every bit

the pathetic virgin I am.

Pathetic, Will.

[boy] Oh sh*t.

Outside. Now.

- What the hell is wrong with you?

- Me?

Yes, you. How could you do that to him?

- Why couldn't you just let him have this?

- [exhales]

Wait, you knew?

Of course I knew!

Will once spent the whole of summer

telling us about

how he's the Prince of Siam.

- Why didn't you say anything?

- He should be allowed to have his secrets.

What's the matter with you?

Huh? Since when do we have secrets, Becca?

- [Becca scoffs]

- No, no, no.

How come you didn't tell me

about you and Cam?

Oh my God.

That's why you kissed him.

Why didn't you just ask me?

Because I shouldn't have to.

Why do you always

expect so much more from me

than anyone else?

Maybe because Cam, he lets me down.

But you you were the one person

I trusted to be straight with me always,

and you've been lying

to my f*cking face ever since I got here.

And why do you think I do that? Hmm?

[Becca sighs]

Do you have any idea

how exhausting it is being your friend?

You know, it didn't start

at Reading for Cam and I.

It started when I was

tutoring him for his maths resit

that he failed because

all he could do was think about you.

Don't.

We were terrified.

- All the f*cking time.

- Well, you know what?

Nobody asked you to be.

I never asked you to take care of me.

We thought you were going to die, Mia!

We thought you were going to f*cking die.

And then you come home,

and we thought, maybe,

just maybe she'll give us a chance.

Maybe she'll let us show that

we love her enough to help her, but no.

Know what? Don't give me that.

You have no idea, Becca.

You have no f*cking idea

what I go through.

I I have no f*cking idea?

Do you know what?

[scoffs]

I have no f*cking idea.

No, Becca, come on. Come on, say it.

Whatever it is, say it.

Why don't you try being honest for once?

Why don't you try being

a real f*cking friend? Huh?

Sometimes I wish you'd never come home.

[Mia] Hm.

[Becca gasps]

[breathing shakily]

[struggling] I I can't breathe.

I can't breathe.

- [gasping]

- Hey, Becs.

Becs. Becs. Hey, it's okay.

- I've got you.

- I'm sorr I'm sorry.

[gasping]

Here. Come on.

Come on. Sit down.

- [Becca sobbing]

- Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, I want you to say

five things that you can see.

[shallow breathing]

I see

Uh, I can see the tree.

I can see the stars.

I can see the moon.

- Hey.

- I can I can see the grass.

Mm-hmm.

I can see Mia Polanco.

[sobbing]

I'm sorry.

What do you reckon they're talking about?

I think your name

will probably have come up.

What?

Come on.

Not hard to see there's something

going on with you and Becca.

[chuckles] Right.

Is it that obvious?

[laughs]

Well, I mean, there's not anymore.

She ended things with me, so

It it wasn't like

romantic or anything like that.

That why you asked her not to tell anyone?

[laughs]

What?

She asked me.

I mean, come on, it's Becs. She's

gorgeous and funny and clever.

Of course she doesn't want anyone

to know I'm having it away with her.

What's not to like about you?

Can't make people happy, can I? [laughs]

Uh

Sorry.

Anyway, this is boring. Um

- Not boring. Not at all.

- [sighs]

I don't think I've ever

heard you talk like this.

I I haven't really

spoken like this to anyone.

Be careful, I'll I'll weep all over you.

[both laughing]

Oh. Uh, sorry.

Taken.

Are you Are you okay?

Fine.

[door closes]

Do you want to talk?

Not now.

Or not to you.

[sighs]

Did I really f*ck up with Mia?

I just wanted to cheer her up.

You've all been so sad without her.

You don't have to be here.

You don't have to feel bad for me.

Sorry.

May I?

So do you fancy this guy?

No.

Maybe. I

I don't really know how that feels.

What, liking someone?

I think there's something wrong with me.

It's like, okay

I'm young.

I I look like this.

You know, I should be out there

having all the sweaty, meaningless sex.

I could be. It's

it's not like I haven't had offers but

You don't want to?

Yeah. Yeah, it's weird.

I mean, I'm weird. I'm a freak.

Please forget we ever

had this conversation.

No.

Tell me.

I want to know.

Do you want to know an even bigger secret?

Bigger than Reading?

[faint thudding dance beat]

I like him.

What?

Properly?

Yeah.

I do, I

I really like him.

Wow.

Does he know?

I don't think so.

Not even Will knows.

Pathetic, right?

I shag one guy, and now I'm

Well, he is a good kisser.

[groans]

I hate that you know that now. Ugh.

[giggles]

Hey, I'm sorry.

For all of it.

All of tonight.

I'm sorry too.

I just I don't know how much to tell you

without telling you too much.

Just tell me exactly

as much as you want to.

No more, no less.

And, hey

It might work out in the end.

With Cam.

Nah, don't think so.

Hey, you're Becca f*cking Lloyd.

Anyone on this earth would be lucky

to just have you step on them.

How could he say no?

[Mia] A touch,

when you didn't know you needed one,

can be a wonderful thing.

It'll keep you afloat.

- Fancy one more dance?

- [laughs] Yeah, I do.

Cam's on the music, but I'm sure I could

[Mia] It'll keep you going

What?

until

[sparse melancholy music playing]

something just breaks.

Are you okay?

It is what it is.

[Mia] Must really suck to see that.

The person you like with someone else.

Do you want me to stay?

Just for a bit?

Don't worry about the house.

I'll take care of everything.

Becs.

I'm sorry.

["Chelsea Hotel No. 2"

by Rufus Wainwright playing]

[Mia] This is just so predictably you.

Isn't it, Mia?

To learn how desperately

you need to be wanted

at precisely the same time you drive away

anyone who could ever possibly want you.

You thought it was sex,

being looked at,

being touched,

which scared you.

Maybe it was the opposite.

Maybe you were scared

that you could never be like them.

Could never touch. Never look.

Never let your body reach out and say

"I'm alive."

"I'm here too."

Ah, but you got away

Didn't you, babe? ♪

You just turned your back on the crowd ♪

And all of that jiving around ♪

[Mia] It's scary to admit

to wanting someone because

what if they can't want you?

But this is the kind of brave

you promised yourself you could be.

If you can't be brave enough

to reach out and touch,

at least be brave enough to feel it.

All of it.

But for me you would make an exception ♪

And clenching your fist

For the ones like us ♪

Who are oppressed

By the figures of beauty ♪

You fixed yourself

And said, "Well, never mind" ♪

[Mia] Maybe this is for the best.

You saw them all.

That frantic tangle

of bodies and hormones.

That I loved you the best ♪

I can't keep track

Of each fallen robin ♪

I remember you well

At the Chelsea Hotel ♪

[Mia] That's not me.

For me, it would have to be

different.

[knocking on door]

Occupied.

[door opens]

Hi.

Hey.

Um, I just wanted to

I was looking for somewhere to sleep.

Right.

I hope you're all right.

I heard what happened.

I'm glad you're not in here

trying to off yourself or anything.

["Beams" by Shards playing]

I don't know what happens next.

[song continues]

Now's the part where you kiss me.

No.

You kiss me.
