Hit & Miss

'So you were a man, but now you're a woman?'

You're like a machine, Mia. I fuckin' love it.

I'm Ryan's dad.

We just need you to sign this form,

tell the social you're looking after us and piss off.

We don't want you here.

You're the new lass I've seen at Wendy's.

She thinks she can just come in and take over.

Another one, please. Here, let me get that.

I own this place. I want my money.

Fuck off and leave us alone.

Hello. Good day at work?

Usual things.

Everything alright here? Does it look alright?

Fuck's sake!

Does everything you touch turn to shit?

Typical man.

Morning.

Riley?

You OK?

Those dirty bastards'll eat anything.

Come on.

Let's get you inside.

Ow!

Fuck!

Fuck's sake!

Shit fucking house!

How are you feeling?

I told you, I'm fine.

Come on, Lee, time to go.

Stay with me. I can't, babes. I've got swimming.

Mummy used to stay. I can take you, Leonie.

Another chicken gone. Think it's a fox?

We can't afford to lose any more. I've got to have my chucky eggs.

Can you take Lee? I can't. I've got plans.

Am I invisible? I said I'll take her.

You want a lift?

See you later, alligator.

Leonie. In a while, crocodile.

Good toes, naughty toes!

- Very nice. - Good toes, naughty toes!

Lovely straight back. Good toes, naughty toes!

Very nice, Abigail.

Keep going.

Very good.

What's wrong? I can't dance today, Miss.

Well, why not, Lee? I've got breast cancer.

Leonie.

Come on, Lee.

What if... Mia.

What if Mia dances with you?

No. No, I don't dance.

Come on, Lee. Dancing makes everything better.

I promise.

Come on.

Right, ladies. Let's go through the routine.

Everybody up. Are we ready?

Why don't you want to dance?

Why don't you?

What you doing?

Fucking hands off me. I said, what you doing?

Not here to protect you now, is she?

You can't do this. This is our home!

Bitch! Fucking bitch!

Where the fuck is she?

What's up?

John's put the house up for sale.

What? He came round earlier and put a sign up.

I didn't see it. Levi burned it.

What are we going to do?

Think of something. He can't do this.

He wouldn't have done anything if it wasn't for you, you stupid bitch.

Levi. Fuck you!

You freak.

Levi, please. Why are you even here anyway?

Why don't you just sign the papers and fuck off?

I'm trying to help. Look what good your help's done.

We're gonna be homeless, and it's all your fucking fault.

You know what? I don't have to take this shit.

Yeah, that's right, go on. Fuck off, you freak.

Weirdo.

Why do you have to be so horrible to her?

Mia!

Mia!

I'm a real boy.

I'm a real boy.

Freak! Freak!

Why are you doing this?

I don't understand. What the fuck have I done to you?

"It's nothing to do with us. It's her. I'm selling it."

Of course it's to do with us. This is my home.

"You saw what she did to me. She's a fucking lunatic."

"You need to get her out of your lives, out of our lives."

"Do you see where I'm coming from?"

"Riley?"

Are you talking to Mummy?

Have you seen Mia?

What do you want?

The smallholdings. How much do you want for it?

I'm not selling to you.

I want you out of here.

The sooner the better.

This isn't over.

I knew you would come back. Yeah?

Yeah. Same as Mummy. She left, but now she's back.

Get out.

Get out!

Shit!

Here, you do it like this.

Johnny Green Teeth, got your ears on?

Tea's ready.

Is that it, then? Are you gonna run away every time it gets a bit tough?

No.

Don't mess us about, Mia. I mean it.

They say you can choose your friends but not your family.

Thing is, you can.

I've signed the forms and sorted stuff out with the social.

But I'm not going anywhere.

I want to be more than just a name on a piece of paper.

I've got something I wanna ask you all.

How would you feel about moving somewhere else, to a new house?

I know it's out of the blue but maybe a new start will do us all good.

And I've got enough money to... No way. Fuck that. No way.

You don't know us at all. Are you taking the piss?

It's not Mia's fault, it's John's. He's a prick.

What's a prick? An idiot.

John is a prick. Do you know what? This is bullshit.

Fucking bullshit.

See this? This is our home.

Our home.

What's up?

Fuck!

Levi? What's wrong?

I miss Mum.

I can't look after this place like she did.

I can't even keep a few fucking chickens alive.

What's all that money for?

I'm making sure this place carries on being your home.

Morning.

All the chickens were there today.

Alive! Alive!

Your new fence must be working, then. Damn right it is.

Can I have one?

Help yourself. I'm not your slave.

Oh, God, that stinks.

Look at all that shit. I really can't be arsed.

When did you realise that you were a girl?

I kind of always knew.

I remember one time when I was little,

my dad had been shouting at me so much I wet my pants.

As punishment for being a sissy,

he made me wear a pair of Mum's frilly knickers.

It didn't really feel like a punishment.

It just felt really normal.

Nightclub bouncer. Proper nasty swine.

But he's crossed the wrong blokes.

Everything else is in the folder.

No problem.

Is everything alright? Kids OK?

That prick John's put the smallholdings up for sale.

The kids think it's my fault, and they're right.

I was thinking about buying it.

Do you think that's a good idea? What d'you mean?

I've no problem with you doing what you have to do for them.

I just don't want it to have a bearing on what you do for me.

It won't.

It won't, Eddie. You have my word.

Can you afford it?

Oh, fucking hell, Mia. That money's for your operation.

It can wait.

It might not matter anyway.

I can't go legit and buy the place.

I'm under the radar, aren't I? Legally I don't exist.

Besides, he isn't willing to sell to me.

You could make him an offer he can't refuse.

I don't wanna shit on my own doorstep.

I want to stay there.
