As I Am (2019)

[bunniefuu]

[Kai] I want to breathe the air

outside of this town.

The world I don't know.

Some place that understands.

That doesn't doubt.

Doesn't constrict.

That sees me as I will it.

Not as I am.

Sees me as what I could become.

Not what I would be.

[Sammy] Whatever you're

writing in there

isn't going to help you

out at Maths later.

You've been revising?

Yeah I did three hours

yesterday...

and I got one of them fancy

revision timetables

for my bedroom wall and

everything.

Yeah?

No mate, have I f*ck!

[bike clanks]

Don't get violent, alright?

[Grace's Mum] Grace! Grace!

Grace come back here.

Don't walk away from me!

[door slams]

[horn beeps]

[Sammy] Hurry up mate!

Alright boys!

Are you coming mate?

Keep your voice down mate

me Mam don't know I smoke!

Well hello Sammy, Kai.

He's upstairs, smoking.

Ahh...

Craig!

Alright Mam.

Where you boys off to?

We're just off to the library,

Mrs. Megson.

Oh well glad to see you boys

are taking your exams seriously.

Unlike my Craig.

Alright Mam! f*ck's sake...

I'm sorry abouther boys she's

had her claws out all morning.

Do your best.

See you later Mrs. Megson.

[Megsy] What the f*ck are you

laughing at?

[sniggers]

Boys?

Yes Megsy?

What do you reckon we'll be

doing in ten years' time?

Well, I would imagine that

Kai here is a millionaire,

I'm gonna be an international

playboy, naturally...

and you, Megsy...

you'll probably be w*nk*ng

off stray dogs in the park

for a packet of Quavers!

f*ck off!

Jesus!

[laughter]

I'll tell you where I won't

be in ten years boys.

[Megsy] Where's that then?

Here.

[Sammy] Oh I'm with there man.

You know, I'm gonna move in

with my dad in London next year.

Oh come on boys.

It's not that bad around here.

Oh man you're both just

gonna leave me in this sh*t hole!

Oh for f*ck's sake boys!

[Kai] You'll be fine mate.

I've got a maths A-Level in a

couple of hours

and the only equation I

really know is...

me equals...

f*cked!

My dad said when I register

to his place in London

I'm gonna get a BMW or an

Audi or some sh*t like that.

- You don't need a car in London

mate. - You never need a car but...

What's going on here boys?

[Onlooker 1] Are you alright

mate?

- [Onlooker 2] It came from the

roof. - [Onlooker 3] Right on the head.

[laughing]

Here Megsy mate

what is the probability of

getting hit by a statistics textbook

on a Thursday morning?

[laughing]

I dunno why you're laughing

mate.

How do you mean?

Your name's on the

m*rder w*apon!

[Mr. Jackson] On the desk,

top left corner

it will be laid out for you

there...

and please just remember

what we talked about today.

Don't rush into it.

Look at all the questions it

won't be what you want to see.

Don't panic

take a moment

and construct the vague layout

before you write it out in full

alright?

Any other questions?

Well, that concludes

our final lesson.

Alright, you're on your

own now guys.

Ah, Caleb I have that form,

I'll leave it in your pigeon.

[Caleb] Ah, cheers.

Sir?

Kai.

I just wanted to know if

you'd...

read my latest short story yet.

I did.

You didn't like it.

No. No, it was well written.

Honestly?

It had no heart, Kai.

I mean sure it's

well-ex*cuted

but it's all surface-level

stuff really

and your characters, and the

situations they find

themselves in...

it was all a bit manufactured,

to me.

Look don't be disheartened.

Just play to your strengths.

Write what you know about

not what other people talk

about.

Yeah but sir people don't

want to read what I know.

People aren't gonna believe

what you don't know.

Do you want to be a better

writer?

It begins with that door.

There is a whole world out there

waiting to sh*t on you.

Let it.

Use it.

Now go on.

Go get shat on.

Thanks sir.

[Megsy] I got one for you boys

would you rather...

f*ck a goat, and nobody

know about it

or not f*ck a goat

and everybody at school

thinks you f*cked it?

- What the f*ck?

- Erm.

I think I'd probably just f*ck

the goat out of pride to be honest.

Ah yeah of course you would

mate.

Why's that?

Sheep-shagging runs in the

family doesn't it?

Oh f*ck off!

Hey.

What do you want?

Nothing.

I mean, I...

I just wanted to say sorry.

For what?

I didn't mean to stare, earlier.

- Are you okay?

- I'm fine!

Thanks.

That's okay.

I was wondering

[smash]

You alright mate?

sh*t yourself?

You know I'm only joking, man.

He's not bothering you,

is he Grace?

No.

Nah. 'Course he's not.

[laughs]

I missed you last night.

You never showed up.

Uh, yeah my mum, she...

I had to stay in all night.

What a bitch.

Alright well I'll see you

after your exam, yeah?

I'm gonna...

see ya.

Kai?

Never mind.

[scraping]

[excited breathing]

[exam bell]

Pens down. Stop writing.

Hello chicken nugget.

[laughs]

Show your findings with

a 'Venn Diagram'.

What the f*ck is a

'Venn Diagram'?

f*cking hell boys I barely even

made it past page four me.

[Devin] We could steal Mr Hurt's

dog and make a ransom video.

[Rupert] A ransom video for a

dog?

Mate that's not even a leavers

prank, that's just blackmail.

[Sammy] Yeah but leavers pranks

are always so tame.

You know like handprints on

a tree and that sh*t.

Exactly

Hang on you're in favor of

'doggy ransom'?

No I'm not in favor of

'doggy ransom',

I'm saying we need to

up the ante a bit.

We could fill the chapel with

water

so when they open it

at final assembly...

pffft!

Like a whole wave of

well like water comes out.

Does anyone have any ideas like,

anything intelligent?

I wanna come back in ten years

knowing that everyone's still

talking about this, you know?

We need to do something

legendary.

How about

we release three piglets into

the main school building.

[Rupert] Piglets?

Chang, I said something

intelligent.

No! We label them.

I'm listening.

[Rupert] How do we label them?

One...two...

...and four.

f*cking hell, Chang.

That's not a bad idea.

- [Devin] I don't get it.

- Neither.

Well, they find pig one,

two and four pretty quick

then spend ages chasing shadows

looking for pig number three...

...which doesn't exist.

Ahhh!

Okay this is mental.

Any pranks that don't include farmyard

animals or just animals in general?

[Kai] No one starts early

enough.

That's why all the pranks are

sh*t, there's no planning.

[Pete] Well what do you suggest?

We start now.

[Megsy] What are you doing?

[Kai] What's it look like?

[Rupert] What do we do with

them?

[Kai] I don't know yet.

Something legendary.

Here you go mate.

Why does she like him?

Why does who like who?

Hang on a minute boys.

What?

Party at Greg's place!

- Nice!

- Let's go!

Oh whoa whoa are

you sure about that mate?

I mean yeah, of course!

No I mean, are you sure

about that shirt mate?

What!

I mean when your shirts are

making your boys look bad

it's just a bit inconsiderate

to be honest with you mate.

f*ck off, both of you! Are

you... [laughing]

Fine alright, we'll stop over

at mine on the way over.

- I'm not going to your house.

- Why?

What? 'Cause I'm high

as f*ck, mate and...

...I mean look at Kai's eyes!

[giggles]

[Megsy] Your dad's a copper.

- [Sammy] Step-dad.

- He's still a f*cking copper though.

[Sammy] Yeah and he's at work

you wreck-head.

Kai, bro.

Alright, okay. We'll wait

outside.

[Megsy] Come on boys.

Let's go celebrate my U grade!

That's when you

f*cking cheer lads!

[laughter]

Watch your step dickhead.

Mrs. Bucktree.

Buckers!

I'm gonna go see what

Sammy's doing.

What up?

Do you know how much

trouble you'd be in

if my husband was here?

Hand it over.

Hand what over, Mrs Bucktree?

Craig!

Give me the weed.

[tearing paper]

Sammy?

Yeah I'm coming mate.

[laughing]

[Kai] Buckers?

[Phil] Hello love, it's only me.

Shift finished early.

That bloke next door has

parked in my space again.

What's for dinner? I'm starving.

Craig?

What are you doing, son?

Uhhh I'm...

I'm, I'm, just...cooling.

Cooling?

Yeah! I'm, I'm, just cooling

the meal, sir.

Right.

[coughs]

Right, I'm uh, gonna take a...

...shower.

[exhales]

Nice one Buckers.

[loud party music]

Kai?

My little Grace.

Where you off?

You're not leaving are you?

No.

Well what you up to then?

I was... I was looking for you.

Yeah I bet you were.

[Sammy] Yo, man.

The f*ck happened to you?

Where you been?

Things just got really

messed up at some point.

Yeah mate, tell me about it.

You know Dave took a

sh*t in the f*cking shower!

Little f*cking Dave!

It's a mess.

What things, man?

Okay, uh,

well why don't you fix 'em?

Fear.

What?

Because I'm scared, okay man?

Whoa, alright, bro.

Why did you come out here?

To try and make you feel better.

Yeah well you're just

making things worse.

- You're such a f*cking downer.

- Oh f*ck off Sammy!

What's your problem?

Huh?

We're all scared you, d*ck.

What do you have to be

scared about?

Are you f*cking serious?

Of getting stuck here!

You know it's alright

for you isn't it?

You can get out, you can

go to uni, you can move on.

I am f*cked mate!

I am the idiot that

isn't qualified to do

much more than drive

a f*cking milk cart

around this nothing town.

But while you are out

there living your life,

writing or... whatever!

I am going to be stuck right

here.

What are you talking about

you're going to London.

My dad didn't care about me

seventeen years ago when he left.

Why the f*ck would he

give a sh*t now?

What?

I lied, man.

I lied.

We're seventeen.

We've got three days

left of school, ever

and we're at a great

f*cking party.

This is supposed to be the

time of our lives man.

I have been waiting for this

f*ck, we have been waiting for

this

for as long as I can remember

the start of a summer

we will never forget!

This is bigger than you!

So just grow a pair

and fix it, okay,

whatever the f*ck it is!

This is bullshit!

[hard party muisc]

Um, have you guys seen Grace?

[groans, gasps]

[struggled breathing]

[cries]

[Grace] Wait!

[kicks door]

Get the f*ck off her!

[Grace] Kai! No.

What are you doing?

- [Kai] I thought he was hurting

you. - [Kenner] I was.

- You f*cking...

- [Grace] Kenner No!

[punch]

[Grace] Stop!

[birdsong]

[exhales]

Hi.

Hey.

Umm.

I'm really sorry about...

It's okay.

What the f*ck?

[Stag bark]

[Stag bark]

[g*n sh*t]

[birds scatter]

There's a coldness in conflict.

Direct and obvious.

And wants become needs.

And likes become loves.

Choice,

becomes loss.

And loss,

regret.

How to choose,

when once the choice is made?

The latter will linger.

An ever-burning glimmer in the

mind,

only to be extinguished

by time itself.

And time decides.

[Kai's Mum] Kai!

Where have you been?

Do you know what time it is?

I was about to call the police.

No one has seen you for

24 hours and you just

stand there and what,

you just f*cking shrug?

None of your friends have seen

you,

you don't answer your--

What's that?

What, what has

happened to you?

Kai this, this isn't like you.

- If your dad was here he'd--

- Yeah well he's not.

He left this sh*t hole years

ago.

Kai.

What's going on, man?

I slept with Grace.

- f*cking hell mate!

- sh*t!

No. Not like that.

We shared a bed.

Nothing happened.

Your eye though.

- Kenner.

- Yeah.

- No I mean, sh*t look, it's

Kenner! - [Kenner] Oi oi!

Arghhhh!

[Megsy] f*cking hell, boys,

he's lost it.

That looks aggressive.

- sh*t, do we run?

- Kai?

- Why aren't we running?

- Alright boys?

Where did you get

that shiner mate?

Although, I think it might be

a bit of an improvement.

Hey?

[laughs]

Alright dickhead?

Alright Grace?

I need your help.

You're good at English, right?

It's just, some of the texts

are really confusing and uh...

...yeah.

If I come by your house

will you help me?

Okay.

Cool.

Let's have a drag on that.

Come and get it then.

Cheeky c**t.

Are you guys coming

with us tomorrow?

Yeah so a few of us are

going up the beacon tomorrow.

Should be a laugh and that.

Craig you still have that

r*fle your brother had?

That was well good.

[Megsy] Uhhh, yeah but I'm

not really supposed to--

Oh come on mate.

Your brother used to always

bring it out for the boys.

I...

Don't be a p*ssy, Craig.

It'll be a laugh, like.

We can sh**t beer cans

when we're done with them.

Uh yeah.

Yeah yeah alright, alright.

Nice one.

[Kenner] Alright, boys.

Catch you later yeah?

Kai?

Yeah?

Can I unclench my anus now?

[chuckles]

f*cking hell!

You're not really gonna

bring that r*fle are you mate?

I mean I guess so.

It'll still be hidden under

my brother's old bed

but I've not really used it

like,

on my own before.

What if he slays you with it?

What if he slays me

if I don't bring it?

Valid. Either way,

someone's getting slain.

Hey, seriously though,

don't bring it if you don't want

to

he's not going to do anything.

I'm sorry have you looked

in the mirror recently mate?

Nah it'll be fine boys.

But I can't let my mam

know I've got it okay,

so you've gotta help me

sneak it out first thing.

- [Sammy] Yeah man, no worries.

- [Megsy] Nice.

[Sammy] Is it just me,

or is Kenner's d*ck massive?

[laughter]

[policeman] Oi!

[policeman] Stop right there!

[Megsy] sh*t!

f*ck! Go, go, go, go!

Come here, you!

Kai?

What the hell you doing

here, son, eh?

We had reports of public nudity

and a commotion on the roof.

You stink of marijuana!

Oh God, I'm gonna

have to search you.

You got anything on you you

shouldn't have, hey?

I hope not.

Hope not!

You're testing

my patience son!

Days before your final exams,

and you're getting high

and trespassing when

you should be studying.

You are smart enough to know

you're acting like a f*cking moron!

What is this, hey?

What the f*ck is this?

You're carrying knives

around now, are you?

No, Phil.

You've known me, forever.

I'm not gonna hurt anyone

with that thing it's a memento.

[PC Ward] Ward to Henshaw,

come in. Over.

Henshaw here, over.

Lost the two little f*ckers

running west on Lansdown.

Have you got the stray

one in cuffs?

Over.

Henshaw? Over.

No he ran past me.

Last seen heading north

on Grayson Lane.

Green shirt. Over.

Copy. I'll call it in. Over.

Hi.

Your mum let me in.

You know, for someone so good

at English you don't talk much.

Sorry.

I brought my stuff.

Yeah?

Yeah.

So what do you need help with?

What's this?

Ah, it's nothing, really.

Doesn't look like nothing.

Why are some of the words

circled?

Uh...

I like to know the

definitions when I write.

Like, every word has its own

story.

"Absolution, noun,

a formal release from guilt

or an ecclesiastical remission

of sin

impartedby a priest,

as in the sacraments of

penance".

Why is that one...?

Wait, are these your notes?

"The sequence of syllables

sound authoritative,

whilst granting an inherent

sense of divinity, and...

...hope".

Step out of my mind.

Shall we?

[laughing]

[knocking on door]

I thought you two might

like some revision nutrition.

We're fine Mum.

Kai!

Thank you, Mrs. Matthews.

Oh ignore him.

He's just embarrassed.

Why can't you be polite

like your friends, hm?

Thanks Mum.

See?

Not so difficult.

So um,

how's revision going?

Better now, thank you.

Great!

I'll leave you to it.

Your mum is really nice.

Yeah.

A bit much sometimes, but...

I know the feeling.

Where's your dad?

He left.

No I mean where did he go?

I don't know, it was a

few years ago now.

That's pretty shitty.

Is it?

Well, just leaving.

Can't blame him.

I mean, this place.

It's not like you get to do

things twice it's your life.

Just ask this guy!

You believe that?

Well, Henchard's character is

a lot more complicated but--

No.

The bit about doing what you

want because you only get one sh*t?

You believe that?

Yeah I do.

sh*t.

- What?

- I've...

I've gotta go. Sorry.

I hate the veil.

An oppressor of warmth,

you wear in secret.

Blinds my eyelids and rules my

dreams.

Born from the scars in your past

that,

celebrate the confusion of my

future.

I want to exist in a place where

the softness you feel for me,

isn't something that scares you.

[Stag bark]

[Stag bark]

Where the fear of softness,

doesn't exist at all.

[Grace's Mum] Get out!

Get out of my house!

Go on!

[sobs]

Alright boys!

Get ready I'll pass her down.

C'mon Megsy mate.

Shhh it's a delicate process

lads.

Right. Here she comes!

Well that's just sh*t, mate.

f*cking hell, boys,

I thought this would work.

Mate, just pull it back up

and walk it downstairs.

What just walk past my Mam with

it?

No, I mean like, stick it down

your pants or something.

Down me pants?

"Now Craig, now Craig, now

wait a minute, what's...

...what's that you got there,

son?"

"What's, what's what, Mam?

Oh you mean the big f*ck off

r*fle shaped object in my trousers?"

"Yes Craig."

"Yeah that's just my

f*cking r*fle Mam."

Hang on a minute boys.

What the f*ck is he

doing up there?

Megsy mate, come

on just throw it, alright?

Look Samuel.

I'm no gunsmith

but I do have an inkling

that throwing a dodgy old rile

out of a second-floor window

probably isn't the best of ideas!

- Fair.

- Fair.

You'll just have to reach.

That's it, mate, keep it coming.

Just a little further.

[Kai] sh*t.

Go back up!

[Megsy] Back up?

Oh!

sh*t!

Hmm?

[chair breaks]

[knock]

[body hits ground]

Oh dear.

[wood cracks]

f*ck!

[body thump]

hmm.

[giggles]

The f*ck?

[Kenner] The f*ck happened

to you c**ts?

Well don't just stand there

you bag of dicks, get in.

[Kenner] Try not to let too much

smoke out, yeah?

f*cking hell lads

you're gonna let it all out.

Twats.

- [Grace] What happened to your

face? - [Sammy] r*fle.

[Megsy] Chair leg snapped.

[Kenner] Pull!

[g*nsh*t]

[laughter]

What's your deal?

My deal?

Yeah.

What's your deal?

I asked first, writer boy.

I asked second.

I hardly see you anymore.

I haven't been hiding.

Are you leaving after summer?

Yeah.

For good?

Hopefully.

My mum says she can get me

a job in the salon and I can,

"work my way up."

That's cool.

Is it?

Is it what you want?

Huh!

People don't just get

to do what they want.

You might enjoy it.

It could be--

I don't want to get stuck here

either, Kai.

[Kenner] Pull!

[g*nsh*t]

[Kenner] He strikes again!

Where did the time go?

What?

It seems like only last summer

we were around each other's

house in a paddling pool.

In your green speedos.

That's right.

[Kenner] Another!

I haven't forgotten.

Though green was never

really your colour.

We grew up.

Yeah, well.

I think I've had enough of

growing up.

At least for now.

Pull!

We're out of satanic babies.

f*ck's sake!

[Megsy] Kenner?

What are you doing?

I'm gonna get that little

fucker.

- [Megsy] That's somebody's cat.

- [Kenner] I don't give a sh*t.

Kenner, no.

f*ck off Megsy!

Kenner don't!

[click]

Arghh!

f*ck's sake!

f*cking piece of sh*t.

[Billy] Maybe you left the

safety on.

Does it look like this

thing has a f*cking safety?

[Kroc] Maybe the barrel's

blocked.

Oh f*ck!

Let me have a look at it.

To be fair, mate, it's his g*n.

No.

It's his brother's.

And to be fair he ain't gonna

be needing it anymore, is he?

[laughs]

What the f*ck did he just say?

- Megsy, Megsy!

- Hey!

- What the f*ck did you just say?

- f*ck off!

- [Megsy] I'll f*cking--

- [Sammy] Get off him!

[g*nsh*t]

Oh my god, what the f*ck!

[laughing]

f*cking hell, boys.

Right, I need a spliff.

Billy let's go up beacon.

What the f*ck was that?

A "how not to" on g*n safety.

You alright, Megsy?

For you good sir.

I say old chap.

Much obliged.

Master Craig,

it would be my pleasure

to fashion

you a doobie forged

from the finest Ganja

that could be procured

from the gentle soul

trading behind the bus shelter.

Go on then mate.

[Kenner] Right boys!

Anyone who can climb up behind

me

can have a spliff with me.

Why would we want to do that?

Oh for f*ck's sake.

One must not simply concede

when ones honour is

brought into question Kai.

You're a d*ck.

Go up there and get it mate.

Go on Kai.

You used to climb up there

all the time when we were kids.

Woo!

You should see the

view from up here mate.

You look like a tiny p*ssy.

Alright.

Hold this.

[heavy breathing]

Huh!

Glad you could join me mate.

Cheers, I guess.

Alright mate, don't lick a

horse gift in the mouth.

Sure.

I'm f*cking joking, mate.

What kind of a mug

do you take me for?

I just don't know you that well

man.

Yeah?

Well I know you.

Okay. What do you know?

You're clever.

And you write.

And you think you're

better than all of us.

I don't.

You are.

What?

You're better.

Better than me.

Better than him.

Better than her.

You're weak.

I mean. What?

No.

Up here.

You want out.

But you're too scared of

leaving.

I'm not scared of leaving.

Yeah.

Out there...

...you ain't better.

There's nothing keeping me here.

Nothing?

Don't lie, mate.

You know people say you're

so intelligent, Kai, but...

...take a look around you mate.

Why the f*ck would you

want out of all this?

Hm?

You will leave though.

And she'll stay.

What?

I've seen the way you look at

her.

- Wait Kenner I--

- You know

you ought to be

really f*cking careful mate.

I will die before I give her up.

[laughs]

I'm f*cking messing

with you dickhead.

Funny fucker.

[gasps]

[Sammy] sh*t!

And the door was open?

Like...

...she left it open?

Literally open.

- Maybe she was just f*cked up.

- She didn't look it.

- Maybe she was letting the cat

out. - She doesn't have a cat.

The dog.

[laughs]

sh*t man, I don't know, if it

was on,

you would have gone over there

right?

I mean

you would go over...

...right?

Yeah.

So it wasn't on.

No.

I don't know!

You overthink things, man, come

on.

You need to get out of your

head.

And besides, she's got

a boyfriend, bro.

If you keep pursuing this

it's only going to end

with you getting the sh*t

kicked out of you

by a psycho in a fur coat.

Look, it's not like I don't

see the connection, man.

Of course I do.

But we've only got a couple

days of school left

and after summer you're gonna

be out of here anyway so...

...forget about her.

Right, well, I have got

an exam to pass.

Take it easy bro.

Hey.

How's it going?

[plastic fork snaps]

[Rupert] "Fork Amnesty.

Ladies and gents, it appears

we have a mystery on our hands.

In excess of 120 forks

have been stolen from the dining

room.

The longer this continues the

greater the punishment will become.

Yours, Hurt."

[laughter]

[Chang] 120?

They're sh1tting it.

We've got more than

that in each bucket.

So what's the count at?

- 532 last I checked.

- Still not enough though.

[bang on table]

- What's not enough?

- Oh, uh um.

Not enough forks eh boys?

Come on man don't.

f*ck off you prick.

So you need more?

Well that's good.

'Cause there's a whole load

coming in tonight.

What?

Cousin works in the kitchen.

Chong and I can help.

- Me?

- You mean Chang, dickhead.

Whatever.

Deploy the Asian.

No one's gonna remember his face

are they?

[laughs]

A blitz operation.

In and out with all the

remaining forks

in the blink of an eye.

[Emma] What are you doing later?

- We should celebrate.

- Celebrate what?

Are you kidding?

Um, only the end of exams,

the start of summer,

and... our new found friendship.

[laughs]

Um, yeah sure.

I'll see you later.

Yeah?

Hi.

Hey.

What's up?

Um.

Not much.

Cool.

Yeah.

Who's your friend?

Hey!

What?

Look, dude.

I don't know what's going on

in your head but,

you have a boyfriend, so--

What the f*ck are you doing?

[loud breathing]

[gasps]

[panting]

[heavy breathing]

[heavy panting]

[exhales]

I have to go.

I'm gonna be late for my exam.

Okay.

Will you come round tonight?

Sure.

Cool.

Wait a sec.

Can't have everyone knowing we're

getting it on in the supply closet.

Right.

Give it a minute.

Wait!

Close the door.

What is this?

I can't let you leave until you

tell me what this means.

I've just got a lot going on

in my mind right now.

It's like this crescendo

of crippling uncertainty

that could emotionally devour

me from the inside

and it's...

...and it's totally hilarious

for you.

[laughs]

Okay, great

thanks for the orgasm, bye!

I'm breaking up with him.

Okay?

Okay.

I'll see you later.

Text me.

Okay.

- [Hurt] Clear up your locker,

Evans, - [Devin] Kai!

[Hurt] and take yourself off the

school premises.

[Hurt] What number is your

locker?

Twelve, sir.

It's here, open it.

What's going on?

Rue's been expelled.

Got caught cheating

in his History exam.

Hurt's having him clear

out his locker.

Open it.

I can call for maintenance

and have it forced open.

sh*t.

Nothing to see here.

[loud clattering]

sh*t!

I knew you were a cheater.

You're a thief as well.

Believe it you're going

to see the Head.

[slam]

This way, come on!

Call an emergency meeting.

[Devin] That was like a third of

the forks.

- We physically can't do it

without them. - I'm thinking, alright?

[Kenner] f*ckers!

[smash]

What did you do?

I don't want to talk about it.

[forks tumbling]

[Dinner Lady] Hey!

[Dinner Lady] Wait!

Told you f*ckers I had a

strategy.

[Kenner] So!

What we doing with them?

With what?

With the forks you f*cking

spastic!

Oh um.

I mean we're just--

[Devin] Just...

...stealing them. You know?

For the bants.

For the bants?

[Kenner] Right.

Okay.

That's cool.

Funny.

All right then shitheads,

I need to head to my night job.

Oi Dev?

Cool if I borrow this, yeah?

Yeah.

Cool.

What the f*ck?

[Megsy] "Uh, yeah!"

What are you thinking?

Dude!

I think I peed a little.

[Kai] Grace?

Grace?

[sobbing]

[crying]

[birdsong]

Are you, um...

How are you feeling?

This was a mistake.

Nothing happened.

No.

Honestly.

This whole thing.

What do you mean?

Yesterday, when...

I was f*cked up yesterday.

All-day.

You should go.

- But, Grace...

- Leave.

What are you doing?

Write something, Kai.

Right, get up.

Get the f*ck up, Kai.

[sniffles]

Kai, Kai, stop it.

Kai, listen to me, stop this.

Unless someone's d*ed

or is literally dying right now

I don't want to hear about it.

Stop it.

Do you have any idea

how many students

we get through these doors

as talented as you are?

Do you really wanna go out

there,

you want to kiss goodbye

to the last two years

and your chances of going to

university?

You have offers on the table

with great mentors.

Whatever is going on

in your mind, right now

you need to take a moment

and you need to ask yourself,

is it worth it?

Is it worth going back out there

staring at a blank

page until the bell rings

and that becoming your life?

In two days time

will it be worth it?

Two weeks from now

is it going to be worth it?

Five years down the road, Kai

do you really think you're

gonna look back and say

"you know what,

that pathetic self-pity session

that I pulled in my English Lit

final, yeah

you know what yeah that

was really

f*cking worth it".

Do you have any idea

how lucky you are

to be good at what you like?

Don't you dare f*cking waste

that.

Now get out there and

put pen to paper.

Alright?

[Mr. Jackson] You are gonna be

fantastic

one day, at whatever

you choose to do.

Talent always prevails.

Passion and creativity always

prevail.

They drag you out of the sh*t,

and they carry you to better

places,

and I'll say "Kai Matthews...

...he's the proof".

A mistake?

So what you just woke up, rolled

over, and she said

everything was a mistake?

Pretty much, yeah.

Hm.

Time to move on.

Or time to win her back.

Right, I've gotta go. I'm on

duty.

So you never thanked me.

Hm?

Oh I, I really appreciate what

you did back there.

No, no. Not that.

Then what?

Gaining substance.

Experiencing the world around

you.

Sir, it was a complete f*cking

disaster!

No it wasn't.

Hurricanes and t*rror1st att*cks

are complete f*cking disasters.

Hooking up with the second hottest

girl on campus in a supply closet...

...that's pretty badass.

But what about?

No you came out of it

with a story to tell

and the experience to tell it.

You're welcome.

[rock music]

This is it, boys!

Come on.

One more day.

One more day!

Ahh!

[water splashes]

[underwater muffled voices]

[splashing]

Hey! Time out, time out,

time out.

We pretend with fingers in our

wounds.

Escapes path is labeled hope.

Why does it not hurt you?

- [Kai] The sign reads

destruction-- - [Emma] Hey.

[laughs]

You okay?

Hey. Hi. Um...

Yeah.

So you totally ditched me the

other day.

[romantic music]

After school?

Oh sh*t!

sh*t, yeah, sorry, something...

...came up.

Something.

I hate it when that happens.

Yeah uh, I'm sorry.

It's okay I forgive you.

It didn't happen to have

anything to do with that girl, did it?

What girl?

[laughs]

The girl you can't keep your

eyes off while your'e talking to me.

This one right--

[laughs]

Because it seems to me

like she's spoken for.

Seems that way.

Kai?

Yeah?

If I promise not to point will

you loosen your grip on my arm?

[laughter]

Um, sure.

Let's grab a drink.

[guitar music]

- [Sammy] Mate, don't do it!

- [Megsy] Quiet!

Craig you physically cannot do a

backflip even when you're sober!

Me Mam says I'm an athlete.

f*ck!

[splash]

Oh my God! Oh Sammy!

So how come I never

see you around school?

Maybe you just weren't looking.

Okay.

When did you join?

Like five years ago.

What, f*ck off.

We had Science together for two

years.

We did?

We were lab partners

in year 10, you d*ck!

Remember the experiment

where we had to test

the reaction for the

alkali metal with water?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah I remember.

I transferred at the start of

this term

we don't have class together.

Oh my. Oh my God, you...

You are pure evil.

Guilty.

At least that's what they say.

Why did you move?

Expelled for lies,

conspiracy and or treachery?

God no, much more exciting.

My dad had to move for work.

Wait, people move here for work?

Jesus, where did you live

before?

You're funny.

Oh sh*t!

No way!

Oh sh*t, dude.

What?

Look at us, man.

What the f*ck are we doing?

Playing in the water like a pair

of pre-pubescent fucktards?

No f*ck this mate

I'm getting out and talking to

some girls.

No, no, no.

One more backflip.

What, no mate.

You haven't even come close all

night.

- Please just one more!

- No, no, no.

Megsy!

We've nearly finished sixth

form and I'm still a f*cking virgin.

Ohh! Fine, fine. One more.

I've got a good feeling

about this one bro!

Where are we going?

Somewhere no one will see.

[Stag bark]

[Stag bark]

[Emma] What is it?

Kai?

Uh, nothing I just...

thought I...

saw something.

Saw what?

The Stag.

The Stag?

I mean I thought I saw a stag.

I'm sorry.

It's cool.

No, I...

I mean I sorry I stood you up.

Well that's also cool.

Because I guess it means

you owe me one.

One what?

I dunno.

Geronimo!

[wood cracks]

[splashes]

Megsy!

[cheers]

[panting]

Will you cum with me?

[heavy breathing]

I'm close.

[Devin] Help!!

[Rupert] Help!!

What the f*ck was that?

[Sammy] Help!

Sammy?

[Sammy] Help! Help me!

Come on!

- [Sammy] Someone f*cking help!

- [Rupert] Get him.

- [Sammy] Come on.

- [Rupert] Come on.

[Sammy] Megsy, Megsy!

[Iris] He can't breathe!

What do we do?

What the f*ck do we do!

Someone do something!

Someone call an ambulance!

He's gonna die unless

we do something!

Does anybody know CPR?

Ah, f*ck!

Come on, man, come on!

[sharp breathing]

- Am I doing this right?

- I don't know.

[Devin] Blow in his mouth.

- Geez, I--

- Blow in his mouth!

[shrieks]

[air blowing]

It's not working. No, no.

It's not working!

Wait. Wait, stop, stop!

What are you doing?

We've got to clear his airways.

Come on. Come on.

[moaning]

- Come on.

- [splutters]

[loud inhale]

- Hey, hey, hey...

- [wretches]

- Ahh!

- Megsy, Megsy, Megsy...

[coughs]

[loud exhales]

[loud painful breathing]

[spluttering]

[collective sighs]

[Megsy] Told you I could a

backflip.

f*ck off Megsy you nearly d*ed.

Or did die.

On a scale of nought to dead

you looked pretty

f*cking dead mate.

[laughs]

I swear you better be

less of a cock-block

at the party tomorrow.

Cock-block?

I didn't see you making

any progress with the ladies.

Yeah probably because I

had to spend the entire night

watching your shite

gymnastics attempts.

Alright, mate, alright.

[laughing]

Did see you emerging from

the forest with Emma though.

As if, mate, you couldn't see

anything through your tears.

[laughs]

[splutters]

Were you crying, bra?

Oh excuse me for shedding a

couple

after pulling my mate's lifeless

body out of a f*cking lake!

That's so pathetic!

[laughs]

[Megsy] Oh thank you, bro.

And thank f*ck someone

was listening to Mrs. Chambers'

pool safety class in primary

school!

You know instead of

bombing in the deep end.

Some things never change.

Oh did I cock-block you too?

Uh no, it was a joint effort to

be fair.

Sammy's high pitched squeals

are a bit of a boner k*ller.

Oh f*ck off guys, come on.

[Kai] Not just me though.

Kenner too.

Kenner?

He was there with Lisa Silver.

[Megsy] Seriously!

Oh she is so fit!

Are you gonna tell Grace, mate?

She made her choice.

[Sammy] Lisa Silver.

I used to spend many a

night thinking about her.

Ohh--

Well no don't worry, mate,

this changes absolutely nothing

between the two of you.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You still got zero chances

with her, so...

[laughter]

I'm under no illusions

there boys, don't worry.

Besides, you know, nice guys

always finish last.

[Megsy] We're not nice guys,

mate.

We're just...

We're just guys!

We barely even finish.

No thanks to his squeals!

[laughter]

f*ck you both!

Next time I'll just let

him die then, shall I?

Do you remember that assembly

we had in primary school?

The one where Mr. Edwin

told us the story about

the time his headmaster

sat his class down

at the start of their

school lives and...

he told them that

by the time they graduate

one of them will have d*ed.

It turned out that...

one of his friends actually did

die on the last day of school

starting a, petrol mower

or something.

That sh*t was nearly me.

Thanks for having my back, boys.

Not just today but

for all of school and that.

Cheers, boys.

[Megsy] Cheers.

[bottles chink]

[forks banging]

[whispering]

Alright, boys!

We go in under the

metal gate behind the chapel.

Oh for f*ck's sake.

[Devin] What's he doing here?

[Rupert] Oh who told him?

Yeah I might've said something.

Alright boys?

[Sammy] Alright, Kenner?

What you...

What you doing?

I get it.

I help you steal this sh*t

but you don't want me

involved in the main event,

yeah?

You f*cking spineless c**ts!

No, I just meant, like

what you doing?

Uh.

You're...

late.

Late?

Alright.

Go on then.

Grab a bucket.

[Rupert] Hang on.

What about the NCD?

I thought we weren't doing an

NCD.

How are we gonna

do this and an NCD?

What no NCD?

What's an NCD?

Naked Chapel Dash.

[Mr. Jackson] Naked what?

That's just school legend.

Leavers tradition not legend,

Scout.

The hundred-yard naked midnight

dash

between the chapel

and the main school building.

Across the cricket pitch?

[Devin] Yeah.

- [Chang] I thought that was a

joke. - f*ck's sake.

Come on, no one knows anyone

who's actually done it.

Yeah, 'cause they've all

left school haven't they?

My brothers both did it.

Two years and six years ago.

See?

Any minute now a naked teenage

ass

will come striding past your

left shoulder

and this year...

Ha ha ha...

This year, we'll be ready.

We're going to get them.

Yeah but, logistically

Come on guys, the forks and

the NCD on the same night?

Hold on d*ck cheese

you want to break

into the school

on two separate occasions, do

you?

What's the matter boys?

You pussies afraid of

getting your little mags out?

- No!

- Yes!

No.

But Mr. Hurt, it's already past

midnight.

When have you ever known a

Year Thirteen to be punctual, Scout?

I think what Mr Scout

is trying to say is...

as much as we love

cheese, whiskey

and each other's company

how do we know the Naked

Chapel Dash isn't

just a rumor?

Trust me.

[scrambling on the floor]

[whispering]

[Sammy] Shut the f*ck up! Shhh!

[Megsy] Shhh!

[forks crashing]

[Sammy] For f*ck's sake guys!

Shhhh!

I think it's time we call it a

night.

Sh sh sh.

Did you hear that?

What is it?

Something's coming.

Something big.

[Chang] Sh sh shh.

[Rupert] Go, go, go!

[laughing]

Boys.

Take a row.

[forks clanking]

What are you doing?

I'm calling for back up.

Eddie, Dave.

This is Hurt. You copy?

Copy. This is Eddie.

Copy. This is Dave.

Hurt, there is something

mighty strange going on.

What do you see?

Nothing.

But there's this noise, see?

[forks clattering]

Yes, yes, we hear it.

Whatever it is, it's getting

nearer.

[forks clanking]

[whispering]

Hmm.

Sounds like something

mechanical.

[forks clanking]

Mobile One...

can you see anything?

Nothing's come through

the main gate, Hurt.

Well keep me posted.

Have you got the dog?

Yes sir. Eleanor is with me.

[dog barking]

She is not happy.

I haven't fed her yet.

Good.

[Hurt] Well get ready.

They're up to something.

[Rupert] What the f*ck are

you looking at?

I'm not so sure about

these balaclavas, boys.

Well of course we're not

gonna show our faces, Megsy!

Look!

I'm not being funny,

but if someone told to me

to imagine a...

g*ng of marauding rapists

this is...

I mean yeah this is pretty much

what I'd come up with!

Pretty f*cking menacing

if you ask me, boys.

[muffled laughter]

[Megsy] Nice one, boys.

Let's do this.

[Eddie] Oiii!

They're coming.

[indistinct shouting]

sh*t! Ahh!

Let's see you

boys outrun the hound.

[dog barks]

f*ck! What the f*ck was that?

Let Eleanor loose.

[dog barks]

- [Sammy] Dog!

- [Kai] sh*t!

[Megsy] f*ck!

[Kenner] Rope!

[Kenner] Come on Chang

mate, keep up, son!

Haha!

Ehh.. ohh!

[dog barking]

Come here, boy!

[dog barking]

[dog snarls]

[Hurt] Ohhh!

Dave, they're heading for the

road!

[fast panting]

[dog barking]

[Hurt] Eddie! Eddie!

[car screeches]

[exhausted panting]

Kai, slow down!

Please! I have a stitch!

Take off the balaclava, mate,

it's f*cking creepy!

- I can't remove it!

- Just pull it off!

No, I do not wish to show my

face!

What would you rather

declare on a resume?

Public nudity charges or...

balaclava-donning sex offender?

[door opens]

My room's up on the right.

[floor boards creak]

[gasps]

So how was your day?

My, my day?

Yes, Kai, your day.

How was it?

Ummm. Strange, uh...

but good, pretty, pretty good.

Mmm.

Yes, I can see that.

I was expecting

you back earlier, than this

but as long as you're,

prepared.

Prepared?

You mean for the exam?

Yes honey, for the exam.

I'll leave you to it.

[snoring]

[exhales]

[laughter]

[Megsy] Now that's legendary.

A proper leavers prank.

[burst of laughter]

[car door closes]

[Sammy] You should've taken

geometry bro.

[Megsy] It's just the lines.

[giggling]

Who did this?

[Dave] It was a cohort of

masked, naked lunatics.

Masked, naked, lunatics.

You're going

to have to do better than that!

Anyone?

Somebody had better start

talking.

I intend to make an

example of these vandals!

Thought you could get away with

it

hey Wong?

Come with me.

[exam bell]

Pens down. Stop writing.

Free!

He got the 'Wong' guy!

[laughing]

Thank f*ck he didn't

recognise him!

Yeah!

[rock music]

[partying and dancing]

[fire crackling]

[Lisa Silver] Ah! My drink!

Who do you think you are?

f*ck off you elitist bitch.

I'm sorry, what?

School's over, alright, it's

done.

I'm no one but now...

so are you.

[unexpected gasps]

Oh my God!

[giggles]

[Girl #1] What a loser!

[Girl #2] He is kind of cute

though.

[Emma] Don't.

What?

Don't pretend to like me.

I'm not.

It's cruel.

But I'm not.

I do like you.

Please.

What the f*ck, man?

You want her.

Not me.

I'm not spending my

summer with someone

pining after someone else.

No it's--

No what?

What are you doing?

I like you.

Then tell me you want me

more than you want her.

You can't.

For f*ck's sake!

[loud rock music]

[phone rings]

'Hey, it's Emma. Leave a

message.'

[high pitched beep]

[giggles]

[phone vibrating]

[kissing]

[phone ringing]

'Hey, you've got Sammy.

You know what to do.'

[high pitched beep]

[laughter]

[Stag barks]

[Stag barks]

Kai.

Are you okay?

Not now.

Can we talk?

It was always you I wanted.

Just stop f*cking with me Grace.

[Stag bark]

[car engine]

[car stops]

[door opens]

I've been looking for you.

What?

Come with me.

Come on.

Get in.

Why?

I need your help with something.

[bangs car]

Get in the f*cking car Kai!

[car door closes]

[car door closes]

[car starts]

I know what you've been up to.

Yeah I seen ya.

Saw me what?

Don't play f*cking dumb, mate.

Come on mate you know I saw you

f*cking that new girl in the forest.

Oh right, um. Emma.

[scoffs]

Yeah. Whatever.

You see who I was with?

Well did you?

No.

Lisa Silver.

Huh!

What do you think about that?

Hm?

About me f*cking Lisa Silver?

I don't know, man.

Well!

Like aren't you with Grace?

[laughs]

Grace.

My Grace.

Yeah?

You want to talk about Grace.

You know it's funny you

should mention Grace, actually.

Grace.

Well she likes someone else.

You know she even tried

breaking up with me.

After everything that I've done

for her, break up with me.

Can you believe that?

Well that f*cking bitch got what

she deserved, didn't she? Hm?

- Where are we going?

- I told her that he was gonna get it.

He needs to pay.

But she says,

she says she's not

seeing anyone else.

Funny that.

Lying f*cking bitch.

We're friends, ain't we, Kai?

Eh?

We're mates, ain't we?

Ain't we, hm?

Yeah. We're mates.

Yeah.

And mates, they have each

other's backs, don't they?

Yeah.

Good.

'Cause we're going

round his house now.

And we're gonna gut

him like a f*cking fish.

Who?

You'll see when we get there

mate.

[gasps]

[car tumbles]

[flame and dripping fluids]

Ahh!

[painful short breaths]

[exhales]

I'm stuck! I can't get it.

[struggles]

I'm stuck!

Kai, I'm f*cking stuck!

Cut me loose!

Kai!

Help me!

Kai!!

Kai!

[desperately struggles]

Kai!

Kai!

Kai!!

Kai!

[car ignites]

Ahhhh!

Kai!!
