Let me ask you a question.
If you thought something in your city was unfair, would you try and change it?
Would you stand up and fight for what you thought was right?
Cos that's exactly what a bunch of kids did.
They changed London. And they changed their lives.
On Top Of The World
- All right, Dad? - You all right, son?
Yeah.
- See you still got me old bike. - Yeah, I polish it every day.
Good boy. How's your mum?
Yeah, she's fine. So...
Right, well, same deal as before. 50/50 down the middle. Yeah?
Yeah, cheers.
The mugs at school won't know any different.
It's not a problem.
Just remember, there's no-one like you, son. All right?
You're living the dream.
I'm all about the dream.
Coolest Kid
Oh, my gosh! Have you seen how much style this kid's got?
It's insane!
Breakfast is served my friends. Pay up, pay up.
Just £1 and taste North Korean chocolate
that's gonna make you even more intelligent than you already are.
Chelsea boo thai wok. As they say.
- What language is that? - It's the language of deliciousness.
95% off.
Everyone get to class.
Not you, Ethan.
I should have known it was you peddling this filth.
Got anything to say?
I'm truly happy to announce a further 4% off to all the teaching staff.
I'm happy to announce that you're going to see the headmaster.
Come on. Chop, chop.
- I'll give you 99%... - Shut up.
You realise the nightmare you have created with these?
Headaches, stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhoea...
In many ways, sir, I've done you a favour.
Any kid that buys toxic chocolate from the black market must lack intelligence.
All I've done is help you identify those in need of academical assistance.
You can farm them off to the school down the road
and your Ofsted chart thing will go through the roof.
And you know what, sir? It will all be thanks to me.
Did someone say "outstanding"?
Sir? Did someone say "pay rise"?
No. But someone said detention.
- I don't think they did, sir. - Detention.
Speak Of The Devil
Now it's probably time to talk about dancing.
Dancing was Jaden's thing.
The thing that made him feel alive and... well, happy.
Since he'd been banned by his parents,
it was the thing he couldn't stop thinking about.
It would jump into his head at the slightest opportunity.
Welcome to the Garage.
Welcome to my place.
I set this place up for kids like Jaden to come to
and just, well, be themselves.
Hey.
Aerosols! Noxious.
- Don't be such a baby, Tim. - Oh, come to momma! Come on!
I honourably request that you bite me.
Ow!
Unfortunately, there were a lot of people who wanted to knock this building down.
Do we have to go through the whole thing again?
The thing is, though, Councillor Tarrington,
some of these kids don't actually have anywhere else to go after school.
This place is still going to be demolished.
What's in it for you? A wee backhander, is it? A wee...
Let's pretend you didn't say that.
This is... This is the only youth centre around here.
The community here really needs us.
It also needs parking spaces.
Oh, come on!
Surely kids are more important than parking spaces?
Parking spaces bring in more revenue.
Anyway, you've still got a couple of weeks before the demolition.
I expect I'll see you at the council meeting on the 20th.
It'd be a great opportunity for you to beg for mercy and be ignored.
Fantastic. Look forward to it.
Mm. Goodbye, Gina.
Yo, blood.
Who the heck is that?
Don't even ask.
- Shutting it down, aren't they? - I've got to raise a lot of money.
And there is literally nobody else in the world that I can ask.
Are you still sure we couldn't, you know, tal...
Oh, Jaden. Not the talent thingy again.
Come on! We put on acts from the Garage and sell tickets.
There's so much talent here, Miss Gina.
I don't have the man power.
I don't have enough hands to organise something like that.
You'd need someone who can do stuff and get stuff.
- I could do it. - Jaden!
You know I'm all about empowerment and everything but you look about eight.
Sorry. Maybe eight's a wee bit harsh.
Eight and a half.
- Thanks for that. - All right. Rah.
She's On Fire
Fresh cans, Taylor.
- How did you get these? - I can sort anything. Remember that.
Enjoy, man.
- Ethan! - Squirt.
So tell me, who's this super-fit chick just joined our school?
She's called Lucy.
- She's very unintelligent. - She only dates dancers.
- And she already has a boyfriend. - All of these, minor obstacles.
Thanks, Squirt.
Squirt?
Speak Of The Devil
This came for you today. Looks really good.
Wish I went to a school like that.
I tell you what, son, if you get into that school,
you can do anything you want with your life.
Yeah, apart from be able to relate to girls.
He's funny.
You're going to breeze through that entrance exam.
- Is that my old dance stuff? - Yeah, I found it in the attic.
Figured you don't need it anymore so I'm going to give it to charity.
Jay, we pulled out all the stops for you to go to this school. All right?
So you need to focus. No distractions.
And no more dancing. Yeah?
- Yeah. - All right.
You've got a brilliant imagination, son. Use it for something proper.
U Love Your Sneakers
I'll get it. It's cool.
All right, Dad?
Yeah, I'm good. You? We still on for tomorr...?
All right. Yeah, it's cool.
Right, then. Yeah. Gotta go as well. In a bit.
Bye.
It was Dad.
Tomorrow, it's not going to happen.
I'm just gonna go to my room and pretend to do homework, yeah.
Oh, I got a letter from school. Just put it...
Great. What trouble you in now?
Why do you always assume it's bad?
Sorry. I'm just tired. Long day.
Well, it is bad, so happy reading, yeah.
What's that game called? Looks well weird.
Yeah, man, it's Space Invaders.
It's retro. It's from World War Two, before they had phones.
Cool.
Chips or mash?
Chips or mash?
Chips or mash?
- Chips or mash? - Sorry I'm not hungry.
Ethan. Ethan! Ethan. Ethan.
Do I know you?
- I'm Jaden. We're in the same year. - Really?
- Yeah. I know you're good at scams. - Don't make me blush.
It's about the Garage. You go there, don't you?
Are you my stalker?
I need you to help me organise a talent show to raise money for repairs.
- What's in it for me? - A happy feeling?
Listen, I'm going to get that happy feeling when that place gets demolished.
It sucks.
