Hope you're not going to be
drinking on this uni trip?

[STOPS ENGINE]

You ready?

Yeah.

-Got everything?
-Yes, I already said that.

OK, OK.

All right, well,

have fun then. Be good.

Yep. Yeah.

What is the matter with you?

I know, Mum,

about the man from Bingo.

-What do you mean?
-Don't.

I saw you last week
at the car park.

I need to go.

What, you've known for a week
you've not said anything, Beth?

Look, I was gonna tell you.
I just...

No, you need to end it.

I think you'd like him.

If Dad finds out...

What are you doing? I...

I... [EXCLAIMS] I can't.

[GRIM MUSIC PLAYING]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

-Hey, boys!
-[CHUCKLES]

Are you trying to
stuff my neck, lady?

-Show her.
-Right, none.

-How sick is that?
-Hey, Lyd.

Who did that, a Dracula?

-A lady never fails.
-It's huge.

-Right, you ain't a lady.
-[BLOWS WHISTLE]

Miss, I'm literally stood right
here. What's the whistle for?

Follow me please, now.
Let's go, let's go.

Don't laugh.
She always does this to me.

MRS BLOCKER: Whoa! Ester Smygen.

Get those hoops
out your lugholes now

or I'll eat them, I promise you,

I will swallow them whole.
Watch me.

Ah, here she is.

Snap, Crackle and Pop.

Do you like that? I literally
just thought of that

-as I saw you, so...
-Yeah.

Right, now,
I need the pair of you

to be my eyes and my ears
when we get to that uni.

Anything fishy, yeah?

Little birdies come
chirp-chirp to me, OK?

Like what sort of thing?

Oh, I don't know. Let me think.

Booze, smokes, drugs,

-aerosols, knives, pogs...
-Pogs? What are they?

Heavy petting
and anything in between.

And you're both in charge
of allocating rooms

when we get there. Thank you.

I'll leave you to it.

Oi, Priest! [BLOWS WHISTLE]

-Get out of the bin!
-Miss, I found your dildo.

I know that looks like
your scuzzy bedroom

but it's not. It's a bin.
Get out.

Oh, my girls!

Snap, Crackle and Pop,
what is she on?

No, she's mad.

Yeah. Make sure we give
ourselves rooms away from her.

What have you been up to?

Er, can I give you that?
I'll be back in a minute.

What are you doing here?
Thought you weren't coming.

I'm not. You know,
I think uni's for sheep.

Yeah, yeah.

I, erm...

I came to give you this.

Train me on my street cred.

Street cred? Are you 90?

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

I thought you could listen, erm,

if you got on the coach
right there.

-Hey, flaps, hurry up!
-OK.

I better go on. Come here.

I'll let you know my thoughts,

-my critique.
-[CHUCKLES] Of course you will.

Ugh, why am I gonna miss you,

you're such a fluffy d*ck?

Is it cos hanging out with me

has been the best week
of your life?

-Dream on, babe.
-OK.

-[CHUCKLES]
-Right. Bye.

Get ready. My review's coming.

If you don't like him,
you're dead to me.

-Whatever.
-[BLOWS WHISTLE]

All right, let's start
our future, shall we?

Let's get going.
Hop on the coach.

Quickly as you can.

[LAUGHS]

Right, come on.

Bums on seats.
Seatbelts on, please.

And just a reminder.

No chewing gum, no hot liquids.

Yeah, on that, let me
be crystal clear, all right?

You pop out a little coffee

and you scold the person
next to you,

you'll be the ones getting
sued, all right? Not us.

-There's no great
cuppa tea, y'all.
-Banned!

What about a cuppa soup?

Just eat the dry powder, Bethan.

I don't actually care.

All right. Now,
when we get there,

remember this, all right?

You're representing this school,

so please try
and act house-trained.

[HOWLS]

And if you can behave
yourselves, if,

me and Mrs Blocker might
show you a party trick later.

[ALL LAUGH]

BOY: Knock each other out.

[YELLS]

[INDISTINCT]

Ring ring, ring ring. Who's that?
Who's on the phone?

[CACKLES] Is that your Mum?
What's she saying?

LYDIA: I'm literally going to
get my stomach pumped.

I'm gonna puke over everyone.

LYDIA: I've got a bottle
of vodka in my bag.

Oh, amazing.
I've got some rum in my flask.

I've got a little bottle
of lemoncello up my an*s.

[WHOOPING]

God, do you lot ever shut up?

-What you got?
-What you got?

-Leave me alone.
-Come on.

-Babes.
-Bye, Beth.

All right, you're not
getting any then.

Once an hour I think
about Lozza Chapman

asking if Cam's a virgin.

I wake up at night
thinking about it.

You're a virgin, aren't you?

-As if I'd tell you either way.
-Why do you care so much?

Well, you can't go
to university as a virgin,

shaming like,
"I'm ashamed to know you."

Oh, someone please
have sex with Travis!

-Oh, shut up! No!
-Please!

You goat!

Guys, what are we talking about?

Nothing.

Get a grip. He's g*y.

Oh!

Gosh, that's... Well done.

I'll be back.

What are you doing?

Nothing, just...

Why don't you come and dance?

-I'll be... I'll be there now.
-Oh, Beth.

-Put your phone away. Come on.
-No, I'm ser...

We'll get back with some fun.
[CHUCKLES]

MRS BLOCKER: OK. OK, OK.

Yeah, yeah. Allow us, please.

Remember I said
if you behaved yourselves,

you could see our party trick.

[WHOOPING]

Now, listen, is there
anybody here, by chance,

into their early
naughties garage?

Anyone?

Yes. Lozza Chapman,
girl after my own heart.

Well, hold on
to your hats, everyone,

because after this,
you will be, so...

-BOY: Sorry, what?
-Hit it.

Can you imagine
if they had a baby?

Oh, my God.
It'd be f*cking feral.

-We'd have to take it
straight to Boston.
-Yeah.

-But, dear...
-Oh, my God.

Hey, you know, erm,

I don't care where
your mother works.

Yeah.

I know, she, erm...

Yeah, she... She does
actually work in HR, though.

She's just working part-time
with Bingo

cos she's saving for a new car.

-I see.
-Mmm.

Do you reckon
she'll let you drive it?

-Yes, she said she will. Yeah.
I think so.
-Cool.

Why are you two being boring for?

-Sorry, just talking.
-Move, move.

-OK. Watch out.
-Oh, all right. Sorry.

[GRUNTS] Ooh.

I think I'm gonna go to bed
in a minute, to be honest.

No, you're not. We should
play some drinking games.

Everyone, let's do
some drinking games.

Shut up, Poppy.

-No one likes you.
-You ugly b*tch.

-f*ck is that one for?
-Yeah.

Their love language

Mmm.

She must really love me, then.

-Yeah, she really doesn't.
-[SCOFFS]

So, come on, Trav,
what's your story?

I know Beth's obsessed with you.

Oh! Are you obsessed
with me, Beth?

-As if.
-[CHUCKLES]

I'll tell you his story.

He is...

He's really clever.

-And he's smart.
-Mmm-hm.

And he's always got a nice perm.

And he always laughs
at my jokes, don't you, babe?

How is that a compliment for me?

That's a compliment to you.

Er, yeah, yeah.

and he's really interested
in how interesting I am.

-Oh, no, no, no, you're talking.
-Oi, Poppy,

Wait a minute, get off.

-Poppy.
-Liz? Really? Liz?

-What are you doing?
-Poppy. Hand.

Hand bend. Come here,
I need to talk to you.

-I'll bet nothing.
-Yeah, sure.

Well, right.

Woman to woman,

Stop chucking yourself
about flights

embarrassing me.

-Lyd, stop.
-She doesn't fancy you.

Why the f*ck
are you friends with her?

Why are you still
talking to her?

-She hates you.
-No, she doesn't.

Yes, she really does.

-And how would you know?
-OK, now, come on.

Let's just have a little drink
and settle down, is it?

-No, seriously.
-Cos she's my best friend

and I know everything about her.

You really don't, babe.

Right, ladies. Look,
I know I'm amazing,

but there's enough of me
to go around.

Yes, I really do.

OK.

-If that's what you think.
-f*ck is that supposed to mean?

Beth?

-[GASPS]
-Beth!

What, me and Poppy just kissed.
It's not a big deal.

[CACKLES]

[LAUGHS]
Fish breath.

[RINGING]

-CAM: Hello?
-Hi.

Erm, this is the University
of Costa, Wales.

We're just calling
to let you know that

we've had to pump
your friend's stomach.

Oh, my friend?

[CLICKS TONGUE] Sorry.
I think you might have got

the wrong number, mate.

So, what's happening, bruh?

Just sort of planning to k*ll ya
after you slagged my music off.

Look, all you need
to know about me

is I will say anything
for a laugh, OK?

[INAUDIBLE]

I don't feel tired.

Should I tell you
a bedtime story?

-What story?
-Don't know.

Erm, right, OK.

Say a random word
and I'll make it up.

Erm, OK.

Butt plug.

[SMACKS LIPS]

OK.

Erm, right.

Once upon a time,

there was a little butt plug
called Gareth.

-He's...
-[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Right, sorry, one sec.
I'll call you back now.

-What?
-She wanted to see you.

Beth.

Right, that's me, then.

Take your shoe.

Yeah, well, thank you.

Oh, I miss hanging out

Yeah.

You're too busy with Cam
these days.

You and her like a thing?

I don't know.

I know things got weird.

You thought they got weird.

Do you like her
more than you like me?

I don't know.

It's early days.

Oh my god, Pop...

Sorry, was I being
a bit loud then? Was I...

Know what I smell? Regret.

-And alcohol, actually,
-Oh, pups.

Especially from you.
I can smell you.

You were a guy giving Beth
last night, didn't you?

Did you neck her?
Did you slap clams, like...

-Get off me.
-As if. In my dreams.

She slept on my floor,
so get lost.

Oh, got it, Beth.
Your growler must be howling.

MRS BLOCKER: Hey, whoa, whoa,

It's not all about you.

Beth, for me, please,

Will you look at me?

Beth, will you

What's the matter?
Why won't you talk to me?

Dad's gonna k*ll you.
