The first 195 lines.
I don't know if we're the victims or the villains.
None of us could have guessed how bad things would get.
Still, the world we were in needed changing.
It looked pretty from the outside,
but underneath it was cold and unfair.
And we just couldn't be OK with that.
Good morning, Bannerman. Welcome back.
I hope you all had a good break
and you're excited for the start of a new school term.
I had a lot to prove.
A need to be the best.
I'll hand you over now to Ronny and Rex.
The rugby boys.
Olivia, she wanted her secrets to stay secret.
Margot just wanted to survive.
Bree, she wanted the world to think it couldn't hurt her.
-Er... I'm Rex Kavanagh. -Yeah!
Yeah, go on, bring on the cheers.
But even someone as excellent as me
would be nothing without our coach.
Coach Creed, we...
Well, we spent all summer working on this, and I hope you enjoy it.
The only thing we had in common was...
..we wanted justice.
You disgust me.
You're pathetic!
Give up!
-Pathetic! -Turn it off!
You're a let-down.
A weak, insignificant let-down.
Give up!
You going to cry about it?
Obviously, I knew they were filming...
Kavanagh, what's going on?
-Just shut it down! -Pathetic! Pathetic! Pathetic!
Stop the tape. Stop the tape!
-Rex Kavanagh, stop the tape. -Turn it off.
They're not special.
I'm special. I'm special. I'm special. I'm special.
I'm special...
Give up! You're nothing without me. You're pathetic!
Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic...
DGM! DGM! DGM!
DGM!
DGM! DGM!
Oh, I don't want to be arrogant but...
..we nailed it.
Yeah, if I wasn't me I'd probably use the word "yay".
One bullying coach exposed.
-And new burners for next time. -Ooh!
-Bree. -Cheers.
-Olivia. -Thanks.
-And Kitty. -Thanks, Margot.
Hope it leads to his suspension.
You know, it's like we've hit our stride as a team.
Let's not use the word "team".
-We're not friends. -OK,
so if we're not a team, then what are we?
Co-workers?
Co-workers in the Department of Vengeance.
Well, co-workers,
laters.
Did you see Coach Creed's face?
He looked like he might kill someone.
Come on, Mika, concentrate.
Right, but who would he kill?
I mean, it's not like anyone even knows who DGM is.
Which makes him cooler.
Uh... It doesn't.
And don't let your brother hear that.
I want you all here at 8am tomorrow.
Time to pick a team captain.
She knows tomorrow's a Saturday.
When has that ever bothered her?
Kitty!
I'll catch up with you later.
You been training over the holidays?
-Yeah. -Yeah, it shows.
-Good job. -Thank you, Coach.
Yeah, but is he too freaked out over his ruined film to throw the party?
Nothing stops Rex from throwing parties.
Not even someone puking in your wardrobe?
If my parents let me have a lock on my door, it wouldn't happen!
I mean it was...it was like, projectile, all over your clothes!
-We called you Barfarella for ages. -Yeah.
I mean, you basically smelled till Halloween.
-Hey, cut it out. -Are you coming tonight?
Oh... I kind of have to be on my best behaviour.
-But it's basically the event of the year. -Yeah.
And I could really use some help on wardrobe protection duty.
Really? Oh...
Please?
Oh, OK, sure, count me in.
Pleasure taking money from you.
Margot, hey.
You know gambling is an unhealthy addiction.
And I'm giving fellow students the opportunity to learn its perils.
Real kind of you. What's the bet?
DGM's next target. No-one predicted Coach Creed.
Maybe no-one thought DGM would be stupid enough to go after a teacher.
Stupid or baller.
Stupid.
No question.
Are you... Are you going to Rex's party tonight?
Ed, I never go anywhere.
-So, no. -OK, I'll take a no to the party...
..if you say yes to joining me and the geeks at debate club on Monday.
-You're in debate club? -Mm-hm.
Your outsider status could take a battering.
I'm not a true outsider. It's more an air I give off.
Because you're actually a geek?
Apparently.
I guess I still have to pick an extracurricular.
Finally, she sees the wisdom in my words.
But it involves talking.
And people.
Not on my to-do list any more.
You talk to me. I'm people.
No, you're a geek with outsider air, remember?
It's that kind of quick retort we need in debate club.
You can't! I was set up.
Mr Creed, there will be an investigation into DGM,
but you are suspended!
-But I didn't... -Enough.
It's bullying. It's unacceptable.
Leave the school grounds immediately!
Bree Deringer!
It says here that you haven't attended PE this term.
And last term you missed 18 lessons.
Yeah, I've been having a lot of heavy periods, Mr H.
I like your father's generous contributions to this school,
but they can only buy you so much.
So...
..you want me to promise to try harder?
OK.
Just give me a sec to work on my sincere voice. Ahem.
Can either of us be bothered with that?
No, you're right.
So let's just cut to the chase where you call my dad in.
It's an interesting idea, but you don't seem fazed by it.
I think maybe this will garner a reaction.
One more missed lesson and I will call your father in...
..to discuss your expulsion.
Now get out.
John, why do we even still do PE?
It's a political conspiracy
designed to repress the youth of today through humiliation.
OK. And which politicians are involved in this?
-All of them. -Including my dad?
Yeah. See, he's the head of the humiliation task force.
-Explains a lot. -Mmm.
So how comes you weren't dragged in, too, then?
Cos I'm smarter than you.
Not true.
Except maybe a bit in geography.
But that's not even a real subject, so...
I am smarter than you because, whilst I skip PE a lot,
I still go just enough to stay off the radar.
OK, you're not smarter than me.
You're just more scared of getting in trouble.
Hey. I'm a dangerous bad boy, right? I am fine with getting into trouble.
You are, like, 67 miles away from being a dangerous bad boy.
OK. But geography is a real subject.
Seriously, how do you not get lost?
Close your eyes.
This looks so good on you.
Really? Do you think?
I just don't wear eyeshadow, so...
Poor Rex.
DGM ruined his video.
Well, the second he sees you in that outfit, he'll get over it.
True.
So, what's happening with you and Donte?
Honestly, things have been really...weird lately.
I don't know, he's just...off.
Well, he's an idiot.
You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
You're just saying that to make me feel better.
That doesn't sound like me.
Um... This dress is amazing.
You will grab Donte's attention.
You will grab everyone's attention.
Oh, you look great!
Thanks.
Although I'd rather be home, prepping for tomorrow.
Kitty, you have prepped for tomorrow.
Yeah, we've barely seen you.
I know. I'm sorry.
So...go have some fun tonight.
What he said.
But be home by half ten.
OK. Bye.
There you are!
I figure if I stop people going upstairs,
it'll stop them puking in my wardrobe.
