The first 200 lines.
Too easy, posho.
It's like pushing over a lamb.
Kevin never got home last night.
Everyone knows students at this school disappear.
They all just pretend it isn't happening.
Tanya, are you coming to help decorate later?
I need volunteers.
My mum says I'm too young.
But it's for Year 12, so technically you qualify despite, you know,
being, like, two years ahead?
How old are you anyway?
Oh, because that question never gets old.
I think I'm going to ask Charlie to the prom.
And you just made us fail the Bechdel Test.
The what?
You're funny.
Besides, I don't think the new kid is into... Wait.
Prom is tomorrow. Mmm.
You don't have a date yet?
So that's a yes to helping me decorate?
But how would one dress?
Well, the boys wear dinner jackets and the girls wear ball gowns,
but we totally don't need to be that gender-specific.
I don't know what you did in your last job,
but chaperoning... I am not a baby-sitter.
Except...
You kind of are...
Anyway, about the prom...
Erm...
I was thinking, that maybe you and I could,
you know...
Oh.
No. I shouldn't think so.
Ha! That was painful.
Look at you all. The cream of the crop.
High achievers.
It's no wonder this country only exports Downton Abbey.
I like Downton Abbey.
Of course you like it.
It's a bunch of white people being nice to each other.
You'd watch it if Idris Elba were on it.
Are we cheating already, Charles?
You haven't actually taught us anything yet.
True.
So how about our first lesson of the day?
Your teacher has awful butter fingers.
You can't do that! That's his private property!
April MacLean.
The answer to the question, "Are spinsters born or made?"
You got a date for the prom yet?
I am pretty sure you are not allowed to ask that.
I've got a date. Of course you do, Ram.
The boy who hears silent applause every time he walks into a room.
Solve it.
Don't look so pained, Matteusz.
Is this even in the book?
I honestly think she makes this stuff up.
It's the Gibbs probability density in a classical Klein-Gordon Field.
Well, it is.
We're not supposed to understand it.
She just wants us to feel stupid.
I'll bet she ate that missing kid.
He was eaten?
Where are you from, anyway?
You sound like the Queen.
I'm from Sheffield.
Why am I even talking to you geeks?
Don't make me put you in detention, Ram.
You wouldn't like it.
The big decoration tonight!
All volunteers are welcome.
Big decoration tonight!
Autumn ball.
All volunteers are welcome.
All volunteers are welcome.
Big decoration tonight.
Need your...
Come and help me, anyone.
Hey.
Having a date to the prom is important, yes?
Yeah. I shall ask Matteusz as my date.
Oh.
Oh! Is this not right?
No! No, no.
The schools in Sheffield are very different.
No! It's great! It's fantastic.
And it totally makes sense.
Good for you!
Thank you. okay.
Of course he is.
Of course.
Ram!
What the hell was what?
Coach... 20 laps. Now.
What for? 25.
Get a move on.
No. No.
Why would you help decorate for something you can't even go to?
Because that sad individual is probably the only chance you have at a friend.
Yeah, I'm under far too much pressure.
Tell me about it.
Just a minute, I will have some of this I think.
It's two for one.
Still weird to see you without your uniform, Tanya.
I'm in Sixth Form now. Overachiever.
I caught my husband fiddling with himself on the stairs.
Thank you.
Tm home'.!
You took your own sweet time.
Hello.
You're usually done by now.
Hello to you, too.
Mum?
You know this prom at school...
You're too young to be dancing with boys.
But I'm technically in the right year and...
Your brain is smart enough to have allowed you to skip ahead.
But you are still a little girl.
One who isn't even finished with her homework.
Work first.
Fun is for later. When?
When I'm 40?
What's the matter?
WW are you upset?
Perhaps a better question is, why aren't you?
All the time. At every moment.
Did you kill that student?
I saw burn marks that looked like they were from your gun.
Take it!
Now you know as well as I do, I'm not allowed to use my gun.
You'd find a way. Some loophole.
Did you kill that student?
Yes. Yes, I tricked that student into using my gun to kill himself.
I also may not lie to you, remember?
And as long as I am forced to perform this slavery...
Punishment.
To-may-to, to-mah-to.
I will keep you safe. But you will not question me.
Where are you going?
What did I just say?
You have to shoot it.
I can't use the gun.
Shoot it! Shoot it now!
This just means that I can do it the way that I want it.
Whatever you say, April.
Look, I'm meeting a friend for a quinoa and kale falafel.
God, how Shoreditch has changed. Can I trust you with this?
Of course I can trust you with this.
I just sat down. 1 'in going out with Rachel later.
I need the answers now. Have you paid into my gaming account?
Yes, you ridiculous nerd.
Okay, the first steps you take in breaking down the formula...
"A...
"night...
"full of promise!"
I wonder if that's what "prom" means?
Weird.
Like this? Yeah, exactly.
Isn't this great?
The two of us talking
about something other than what the white people are doing.
You tell anyone about this, you're dead.
I mean dead.
What was that?
Or is it "promenade"?
Hmm.
There's nothing.
What did you see?
Was it a shadow?
What do you know about shadows?
Tanya!
Ram!
Anyone!
We're in terrible danger.
No, I'm telling you, I'm seeing it right now!
There's someone attacking her! Wait.
What!
Tanya, what's your address?
I don't know, something with a three in it!
You think you know what waits for you here.
You think the same plan will work.
But I am what waits for you.
And I am war itself.
Run.
Where is the Prince?
Prince? The singer?
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
I can't use the gun.
But you can do it. Please.
More lights, Tanya!
Get rid of all the shadows!
Well, obviously!
No! No! Please!
No!
It's part of your shadow.
Just shoot it!
Shoot it now or it will kill us both!
April. No!
Did you kill it?
