The Inbetweeners S03E02
"The Gig and the Girlfriend"
-
Sync & corrections: extreme
-
Jay was full of helpful tips,
-
and this morning's were about how to make
the most of the space in your caravan.
-
So I had one bent over the table here,
there was one up here I was fingering,
-
and I was just toe-fucking
the one on the floor.
-
Whilst your parents were sleeping
in bunk beds just over there?
-
It's amazing how good
you are with birds, Jay.
-
What can I say? It's a gift.
-
So when do we get to meet
these three lucky ladies?
-
- They've gone back to the Playboy Mansion.
- Of course,
-
because if you lived in the Playboy Mansion,
you'd definitely holiday in Great Yarmouth.
-
They did. I told you you should
have come on holiday with us, Si.
-
I don't want made-up Playboy models.
-
I just want a nice girlfriend
who'll maybe have sex with me.
-
I read in my sister's Grazia
that birds like it if you ask 'em questions.
-
If you wanna get a girlfriend,
you should probably try that.
-
- Really?
- Yeah, that works,
-
Of course, the only question I ask is
"Which hole do you want it in first?"
-
- Great, thanks.
- What are you lot up to?
-
Is Jay showing you where he
used to shag the cushions?
-
He thinks me and his mum
don't know about that.
-
- Come on, Dad.
- We had to replace the covers twice.
-
Jay was telling us about
the birds he pulled in Norfolk.
-
- Oh, right, was he?
- You remember, right, Dad?
-
Well, he's a total bullshitter, then,
'cause the only pussy
-
he's ever touched was
his mum's when he fell out of it!
-
See you later.
-
He's such a wind-up merchant.
-
So with Mr Cartwright confirming that Jay
hadn't hosted an orgy on the fold-out table,
-
we began to question
a few other things he'd said.
-
- What else have I ever said that's bullshit?
- That your mate can squeeze himself
-
- into a microwave?
- Yeah, a good-sized one.
-
That your dad fought Muhammad Ali
as an amateur and beat him.
-
- It was on a points decision.
- Those were just this morning. I could go on.
-
- Wankers.
- His fag smelt funny.
-
Holy shit! Was Donovan
smoking drugs? In the open?
-
- On a school day?
- Don't shit yourself, Talk To Frank.
-
It's just a bit of puff.
Everyone does a bit of puff.
-
Do they? It's just that I don't, you
don't and nor does anyone we know.
-
What are you talking about?
I do it all the time!
-
- Do you?
- Yes, but not with you saddoes.
-
- I do it with my older mate.
- Has this imaginary mate got a name?
-
Look, I go round his, we get nicely stoned
listening to music, bit of reggae,
-
or we go to gigs.
Everyone does it at gigs.
-
Just pass the puff around,
share the love. The birds love it.
-
Is it true it makes
your teeth feel funny?
-
Yeah, but I'm hardcore, so
it doesn't really affect me.
-
Yes, the effects are lessened if
you only pretend to take it.
-
Not that I have to prove anything,
but the other day we got his dog stoned
-
and it got the munchies,
so it ran away for an hour.
-
When it came back, it had nicked a packet
of Hobnobs from the all-night garage.
-
- What does that even mean?
- All you need to know is,
-
I can get as much gear as you like,
whenever you like.
-
- I don't want any, ever.
- When you think about it, everything's drugs.
-
- No, not really.
- Yeah, beer, Disprin,
-
coffee, trainers,
chicken nuggets, clingfilm...
-
Right, I've got to go.
-
...plants, clothes, car tyres,
-
- calculators, wasps.
- That's right.
-
- Simon's off to get his fix now.
- Si's doing drugs?
-
Yeah, he's addicted to crack, Neil.
Carli's crack.
-
Oh, yeah! Nice one.
-
I'm not an expert, but here's a tip:
-
Don't literally run after
a girl you fancy.
-
It makes you look needy.
And unless they're desperate or mental,
-
it won't work.
-
- Oh, sorry.
- It's OK.
-
- I really didn't mean to sit on you.
- No, cos that would be weird.
-
Yeah! Yeah. Totally.
-
- Are you in the Lower Sixth?
- Yeah. You've probably never noticed me before
-
because I've just dyed my hair
and suddenly grown a pair of tits.
-
- I'm Simon, by the way.
- I know. Tara.
-
- What are you reading?
- The NME.
-
I hate it, it's always wrong.
It's basically shit.
-
- Still doesn't stop me buying it every week.
- Right. Every week?
-
- Yep.
- So you buy it every week?
-
- Yeah.
- Not every week, though?
-
- Yes, every week.
- So every week?
-
Are you broken?
Have you got a head injury?
-
- So you're into music, then?
- Yeah, massively.
-
I'd die without Spotify,
and I love going to gigs.
-
- Oh, yeah, the same.
- The same what?
-
- Same as what you said.
- Right.
-
So have you been
down the Enterprise?
-
Just trying to... Enter...
-
The've loads of brilliant
up and coming bands.
-
Can't quite...
I don't know.
-
- I just...
- It's cool if you haven't.
-
- No, don't think so.
- Well, you should. It's awesome.
-
There's this band playing Friday,
Failsafe, they're amazing.
-
- Me and a mate are going.
- Sounds cool. I love gigs.
-
I went to a big gig last year.
-
My mum took us to see Take That
at Wembley Arena.
-
Yeah, it was good, yeah.
We were quite far back,
-
sort of on the side, but they were awesome.
My mum went mental for it.
-
Well, to be honest,
I don't think you'd like Failsafe.
-
It's a slightly different vibe
to Take That.
-
Oh, no, I would. I love all vibes.
Failsafe, Take That...
-
reggae.
-
I'd love to come. And I'll
even bring the puff if you like.
-
Drugs?
-
- I didn't think that was your scene.
- Didn't you? No, when I'm at gigs
-
I always pass the puff around,
share the love.
-
Really?
-
Yeah. I'm pretty cool like that, but
I try and keep it on the down-low.
-
- Wow. Well, you're doing a great job.
- Great.
-
I'll see you Friday, and I'll
bring enough spliff puff for everyone.
-
- Even enough for your mum?
- No.
-
No, she won't be there.
Stupid bitch!
-
But I'll be there,
-
with the drugs.
-
Why the fuck did you say
you'd bring drugs? You don't do drugs.
-
- I know, but she's fit and I panicked.
- So you're going to supply her,
-
like a pimp to a drug-addled prostitute.
Is that what you've become?
-
Calm down, Will, it's just a bit of
puff, everyone does it.
-
Jay, you can sort me out, right?
-
- Slight problem on that front.
- What, in the past 15 minutes?
-
Yeah, my mate's fucked off
on a gap year to Afghanistan,
-
- trying to get some pure shit from source.
- Of course he has.
-
Thanks a fucking bunch!
Will's right, you are total bullshitter.
-
Don't blame me!
Drug dealers are unreliable.
-
- You could ask Donovan, Jay.
- Unless you're scared of him.
-
Of course not! I've had a toke
with Mark untold times.
-
I sort him out with Rizla and ting.
-
So you're a newsagent now,
as well as a liar?
-
All right, I'll ask Donovan. Then
tomorrow night, when, thanks to me,
-
we're watching Simon get balls-deep
in Tara, we'll see who the liar is.
-
Fine, we will.
-
Probably be a bit weird
if you two are there.
-
I don't know what Donovan was smoking,
but it made him spread butter like a maniac.
-
- What if he throws the toaster at you?
- Why would he do that? We're mates.
-
- Are you?
- Sort of.
-
What the fuck are you two queers
doing, checking out my arse?
-
- Come on, let's go.
- Nah, we just wanted a word.
-
- Prick. There's a word.
- Right. Sorry.
-
We wanted to ask if you
could sort us some puff?
-
- Have you lost your retarded minds?
- Jay's mate's in Afghanistan.
-
- What?
- Nah, look, we'll pay.
-
How much have you got?
-
About 20 quid.
-
All right, I'll do you
a special Team Twat deal.
-
There you go.
-
- Nah, come on.
- What?
-
- Come on, seriously, Mark, that's...
- Puff.
-
No, it's tea. Like normal tea.
We just saw you empty the bags.
-
Are you calling me a liar?
You disrespecting me?
-
No, it's just that, you know,
you did it in front of us.
-
I'm going to give you
a chance to apologise.
-
- Right, yeah, no, sorry. But...
- But what?
-
- Nothing.
- And?
-
Thank you for the puff.
-
Don't smoke it all at once.
-
It was the night of
Simon's date with Tara,
-
and to mark the occasion,
he'd dressed like a dick.
-
- Are you actually going to wear that?
- Yes.
-
- Interesting.
- Look, if I'm gonna get a girlfriend,
-
I'm going to have to try a different
plan than the one I had for Carli.
-
Was there a plan? I thought you just
lurched from one disaster to another.
-
I know what I need to do with Tara.
Just pretend to be someone that I'm not,
-
that I go to gigs, wear hats,
and most importantly,
-
sort out D-R-U-G-S.
-
- My mum's in.
- So?
-
- She can spell.
- You two look smart. Where are you off to?
-
We're going to pick up Neil.
Then we're going to a gig.
-
A gig? Wow.
-
Yeah, I remember my first gig.
INXS, Hammersmith Odeon.
-
One of the band went off stage, then came
back on a skateboard. We all screamed.
-
Yeah, looking back,
I'm not sure why he did it.
-
- We're going to go now.
- Well, have fun,
-
and if anyone does offer you
any D-R-U-G-S, be careful.
-
- What?
- I overheard you.
-
It's OK, petal, I know boys will be boys,
but I can trust you to do the responsible thing.
-
Very lucky to have you,
because you're so boring.
-
- Boring?
- Well, not boring.
-
- Just scared of things.
- Scared?
-
Sensible. That's the word
I'm looking for. Sensible.
-
You're very sensible, so I don't
have to worry about you as much.
-
- Because you're so scared.
- Thanks, Mum.
-
Instead of D-R-U-G-S,
Jay had bought P-G T-I-P-S,
-
which he'd spent the last hour
failing to roll up into a joint.
-
I can't believe you're
going through with this.
-
Come on, Will,
it's just a "leetle spleef".
-
Is that meant to be funny?
Is that drug humour?
-
All right, Cliff Richard!
If you don't like it, fuck off.
-
No, I'll stay. And laugh at you.
-
Jay, I've heard smoking's well bad for you.
Can't we just make tea with it?
-
No.
-
You can't make tea with this
type, remember, Neil?
-
Oh, yeah.
-
- Why not?
- Because...
-
it's stronger if you eat it.
-
- We could bake it into chocolate brownies.
- Cool. Delicious.
-
- Who knows the recipe?
- Nigella Lawson?
-
We haven't got time to fucking bake cakes.
My dad'll be here to pick us up in a minute.
-
- I want to try it before I meet Tara.
- I can cook toast. And eggs.
-
What about putting it in
egg on toast? Would that work?
-
- Might do.
- Drugs on eggs on toast?
-
Are you not worried it might lead
to harder stuff? Beans on toast,
-
- maybe a sausage?
- Or I can make jelly?
-
Right, fuck it,
I'm brewing some hash tea.
-
The one thing Jay didn't want
Simon to do with the tea was make tea,
-
because he'd find out it was tea.
-
I told you, Si,
there were supply issues.
-
The main issue being
Donovan supplied you with tea.
-
And so refreshed,
but in no way high,
-
Simon headed for
his date with Tara.
-
You lot seem very quiet tonight.
-
Well, it's better than
hearing non-stop bullshit.
-
Language.
What's that on your head, Simon?
-
Oh, I don't know, Dad. Oh, yeah,
-
it's a hat. Obviously. God!
-
- Looks bloody stupid.
- We tried to tell him.
-
- You look like a butcher.
- Pete Doherty wears them, actually.
-
Pete Doherty's butcher wears them.
-
I forgot you were a comedian
as well as a cab driver.
-
Oi! I'm doing you a favour.
Why are you wearing it?
-
You've never worn
anything like that before.
-
- He's meeting a bird.
- Knew it. You've got that look in your eye.
-
- What?
- An animal look.
-
I've seen it when you
watch TV, X Factor and that.
-
- What, when he sees Louis Walsh?
- Funny.
-
No, thankfully, Cheryl Cole.
-
If his mum's in the room,
he pops a pillow over his lap.
-
It wasn't exactly Wembley Arena,
-
but the Enterprise had everything
you want from a local music venue
-
bar staff who didn't ask for ID,
a worrying lack of fire exits
-
and a horrific smell from the toilets.
-
- Can you see Tara anywhere?
- Just follow the puddles,
-
- she's that fucking wet for you.
- Can you hear something?
-
I can smell bullshit,
but I can't hear anything.
-
- Stop being a baby.
- Simon, I think it's probably for the best
-
that you don't have any drugs.
I'm sure Tara will understand.
-
- Have you got a girlfriend?
- No. You know that.
-
Then you excuse me if I don't
give a shit what you think.
-
You can share mine,
if you like, Si, I've got some tabs.
-
What? Like LSD?
-
Nah, I nicked my dad's
sleeping pills.
-
Apparently, if you mix them
with Ribena, red wine and cough mixture,
-
- it gives you a well good buzz.
- Is the buzz crippling stomach acid?
-
Oh, yeah, it's good, that.
Mix in some Lucozade as well.
-
Gives it a more crunchy buzz.
-
Thanks, Neil, but Tara's expecting
me to have some puff, so I'm fucked
-
- because someone is a bullshitter.
- Fucking hell!
-
If you're going to be so menstrual,
I'll go and score some shit here.
-
- Oh, yes, off you go to "score", Scarface.
- I will. You coming, Neil?
-
Yeah, all right. Get us a
Ribena and wine, Si? Half and half.
-
- It's got to be quite pacific.
- Specific.
-
Fucking Simon, I have
to do everything for him.
-
He'll probably want me to
bone that girl for him.
-
- Show her how it's done properly.
- Exactly. So when you do it,
-
- do you do more like bump or grind?
- What?
-
I was just thinking about
whether it's best to bump or grind,
-
cos you can only do one or the other,
when you think about it.
-
Nah, not me, mate. I do both.
And I slap.
-
- They all love a slap.
- You're not bullshitting me, are you?
-
- Neil, come on, mate!
- Sorry. It's just you keep saying
-
you can get loads of drugs, and so far
the only drugs you've got is tea...
-
Neil, don't, all right?
Just don't. OK?
-
I haven't scored any gear yet because
where am I supposed to get it from?
-
My mate's in Afghanistan. I can't help that.
And there's no-one here dealing.
-
What about him?
-
Shit. Right. Yeah.
-
- You going over, then?
- Yes.
-
You'd better come too.
You know, as muscle.
-
Right, cool.
-
Look hard. This might get tasty.
-
- Oh, can I have some gum?
- I ain't got any, I'm pretending.
-
- All right, mate?
- All right?
-
My mate wanted to say
something to you.
-
Yeah?
-
- Sort me out, geezer.
- What?
-
Please sort me out, geezer?
-
- I've got 20.
- So what? What do you want from me?
-
You know, gear.
-
Sweet Mary Jane. Ganja, man.
-
Oh, so you want to buy drugs?
And you came to me. Why?
-
- Well, cos we saw you...
- 'Cause I'm black?
-
You saw a black guy at a gig
and thought, "Must be a drug dealer"?
-
- No, we didn't...
- You fucking white boys are all the same.
-
Scratch beneath the surface,
and you're racist.
-
Yeah, that's right, I said it. Racist.
-
- But have you got any drugs?
- Yes, I have, but that's not the point.
-
The point is, you assumed
I had some just cos I'm black.
-
- Could we buy some, please?
- Why should I deal to you?
-
Why should I deal
to two little suburban racists who
-
see me as some kind of stereotype?
I'm at university.
-
- But you are a dealer as well?
- Yes, I do deal,
-
- but you keep missing the point.
- Look,
-
here's 30 quid.
Can we just have some puff?
-
Yes, you can,
-
but only because I'm a dealer,
not because I'm black.
-
Now fuck off.
-
Can you roll it up for us, please?
-
If ever there was an advertisement
for drugs not being cool,
-
Jay was it.
-
My first gig was in full swing,
and as Simon searched for his date,
-
I was enjoying it, in a way.
-
Do you like the taste of beer?
I don't know if I do, actually.
-
- What the fuck's this?
- What? Oh, hi.
-
Didn't realise Pete Doherty
was coming along.
-
- Is he?
- No, I mean you, you twat.
-
- Oh, right, because of the hat?
- No, because you fucked Kate Moss.
-
Obviously, it's the hat.
Hi, I'm Will.
-
Are you the guy who
shit himself in the exam?
-
Yep. Now, Tara, don't you think it's just cool
here? Great vibe, no need to drink too much
-
or take anything to make it better.
Could not get better, could it?
-
- Jay's sorted it.
- No way?
-
Yep, no bullshit, he's totally done it.
The man even rolled one up for us.
-
- Cool!
- Yeah, course.
-
- He's waiting outside.
- I don't want to be a killjoy,
-
but I just think you should remember
that what you're about to do is illegal.
-
So's doing bombs in the
swimming pool, but I do that
-
because it's fun, yeah?
Come on, Simon.
-
Technically, that's not illegal.
-
I didn't know which was worse:
That my friend was about to do drugs
-
just to impress a girl,
or the smug look on Jay's face.
-
- Here we go, boys and girls.
- Cool.
-
- Nice.
- So you've actually got it, then?
-
Look, when I say I'm gonna deliver,
I fucking deliver.
-
- Like a postman with Tourette's.
- Right, who's first?
-
- I've never done it before.
- Haven't you?
-
No, go on, Simon, show me how.
-
Maybe Jay should go first
because he sorted it. Only fair.
-
Nah, I'm cool. Taking a breather.
-
I smoked one the size of a parsnip
whilst I was waiting for you latecomers.
-
Or maybe ladies first?
So that is you.
-
No, I'm nervous! Go on.
-
OK. All right, I suppose.
-
I couldn't really blame Simon. If I thought
a fit girl like Tara might get off with me,
-
I'd probably mainline
heroin into my eyeball.
-
Great, that was really great.
Here you go.
-
What? You didn't even inhale.
-
You've got to take it right in
like a cigarette.
-
Oh, yeah, I know.
-
No, Sometimes I do it that way
cos it just gets your
-
cheeks nicely stoned, but...
-
I'll have a go your way.
-
That definitely went in that time.
Right in the lungs.
-
- Tara?
- Cool.
-
How are your cheeks feeling now?
Have they got the munchies?
-
- Can I have a go, please?
- Oh, right, sorry.
-
This is cool. Just us here,
-
smoking a foul doobie.
-
Oh, yeah, hanging out by some bins
near a skip in the cold,
-
doing drugs. Oh, it's very cool.
Very cool indeed.
-
Yeah, that is good weed. Neil?
-
No, I'm all right,
I've got my sleeping tabs.
-
- What about the Ribena and wine?
- I had that earlier.
-
It all gets mixed up in my tummy
anyway, so it should be all right.
-
What about you, Just Say No?
Or are you still too scared?
-
Oh, yes, I'm scared. Scared that you three
won't think I'm cool enough
-
to hang out with any more.
Oh, no.
-
Oh, no, Failsafe!
Shit, we can't miss them.
-
No way, Jose!
-
- Come on, then, guys.
- No, you're all right, Jose.
-
I was questioning my beliefs.
-
If winners don't do drugs,
how come Simon was off with lovely Tara
-
whilst I was stuck with two morons,
half a lager and a bottle of cough syrup?
-
I'm definitely feeling something now.
This is good weed.
-
Might try and get a shipment in
for Glastonbury.
-
Yes, I mean, it's the next logical step from
buying a small amount for you and a friend,
-
- dealing to 70,000 people in a field.
- All right, all right. Keep it down.
-
- You never know who's listening.
- Who?
-
Old Bill, undercover bacon.
-
These places are usually crawling with filth.
I've got to keep on my guard.
-
I think I'm coming up.
How many singers are on stage?
-
- It looks like five.
- Ask Professor Downer, he'll know.
-
Just because you've had a puff on your
first joint doesn't make you Kurt Cobain.
-
Look, if you want to be a mummy's boy, that's
fine. But stop trying to bring us down, man.
-
Am I a mummy's boy because
I refuse to bow to peer pressure,
-
- or am I in fact the opposite?
- You're a mummy's boy.
-
Go on, petal, have a puff.
Show us you're not scared.
-
I would, but I don't actually smoke because...
what's that thing you get when you smoke?
-
- Sex?
- No, cancer, Neil.
-
- Fine, eat it, then.
- I could do,
-
but as I keep explaining, I have
no interest in getting, as you say, high.
-
I feel brilliant.
-
Well, from the outside you seem
basically the same, but a bit more boring.
-
It's all right, Neil, he's scared.
-
Course, scared.
-
Give it here, then.
-
Right, happy now? So you can shut up about
how you like to chase the bloody dragon.
-
I've had some,
I feel fine, let's move on.
-
Fucking hell, not all of it!
You've eaten all of it.
-
Yes, so in my life I've had even more drugs
than you, and I still think it's pathetic.
-
I told you to keep that on
the down-low. He looks federal.
-
So while I tried to work out
what "federal" meant,
-
Simon was experiencing
moshing for the first time,
-
which is a bit like being
beaten up to music.
-
This is so fucking cool!
-
Yeah, fucking cool.
-
Easy, mate.
-
Bit aggressive, but cool.
-
Simon, you've got to mosh,
or they'll crush you!
-
Oh, right, that's what we do, is it?
-
Are you all right, Tara?
-
Oh, my nose!
-
Back at my MENSA meeting,
things were starting to happen.
-
Tuesday, then, yeah?
-
Are you all right, Neil?
-
- You're dribbling.
- Yeah, thanks.
-
You can have it back Tuesday.
-
When it came to killing off brain cells,
Neil had very little room for manoeuvre.
-
Meanwhile, Tara being a
combination of stoned and concussed
-
- was working in Simon's favour.
- Is your nose OK?
-
My nose is OK, but I
still feel a bit queasy.
-
If I see the bloke that
did it I'll... grrr, you know.
-
You'll what?
-
- Dunno.
- Did you say "grrr"?
-
I think I did.
-
I'll "grrrr"!
-
- Like a tiger.
- I'm Tony the Tiger.
-
More!
-
I'm sure pretending to be a big cat
or a slow-moving robot
-
wasn't the standard reaction
to doing drugs,
-
but I would have taken either of those
over what was going on in my head.
-
I don't want to sound mental,
-
but I'm starting to feel
a bit like I'm in a bubble.
-
Is this what being high is?
Do you feel like you're in a thick bubble?
-
Nah, it's cool.
I feel pretty nice, like
-
up but down but chilled
but ready to do it.
-
Oh, God, this isn't good.
I feel unusual.
-
Why did you let me eat it? Why?
-
- My arms feel odd.
- Oh, just shut up, enjoy it.
-
Jay, I think I'm going wrong.
-
Time is going by really, really,
-
really, really slowly.
-
You need to call
an ambulance right now,
-
because I can't use the phone. My arms
don't work, and my hands are sausages.
-
- Fuck off.
- Jay, I'm serious.
-
You feel miles away.
I think I might be dying.
-
What if I'm a dead person?
Please call an ambulance.
-
I can't call an ambulance,
because they'll bring the fucking police
-
and I'll get done for dealing.
And with looks like this, if I go to prison
-
- my anal virginity won't last a day.
- But...
-
- my hands?
- I'm not calling an ambulance,
-
so stop being a baby
and just ride it out.
-
Oh, God.
-
Neil, Neil! You've got to help me.
-
Everything's going flat,
and I think I might be dead.
-
Help me! I'm getting
random arm movements!
-
Sleepy time. Sleepy time.
-
So I couldn't rely on Neil,
but I knew one thing for sure:
-
I had to stop my fucking arms.
-
- Can I say something?
- I don't know, can you?
-
You just did, so probably yes.
-
OK, clever clogs,
can I do something?
-
Depends what it is.
-
Tara, what did you want to do?
-
This.
-
I feel sick. It's got to be the joint.
I shouldn't have done it.
-
Right. Maybe stick your fingers
down your throat,
-
try and get it all up,
and then we can go again?
-
Yeah. I think I can make it
to the toilet. Don't move.
-
Listen, Simon,
this is very important information.
-
Call an ambulance,
and tell them I'm in a bubble
-
- and everything is very flat.
- I'm a bit busy here, Will,
-
- can you look after yourself?
- I can't stop my arms.
-
Look how random my arms are.
-
Help me!
-
Look, I'm in here, Will.
Can you please fuck off?
-
Didn't make it.
-
I needed help. Jay was useless.
Neil was getting an early night,
-
and Simon was too busy
licking vomit off Tara's tonsils.
-
I really needed help.
-
How could I get help?
-
Hello.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Can somebody call me an ambulance?
-
Because I'm in trouble.
-
Time is moving really, really
slowly,
-
and everything is flat.
-
I need you to call me an ambulance,
-
or failing that, my mummy.
-
I really want my mummy because,
-
and I'm not being dramatic,
-
but I think I might be dead.
-
Is that clear?
-
Mummy, or ambulance.
-
I don't remember the details
of that night especially well,
-
but I do know that despite
their love of violence,
-
the bouncers were
surprisingly kind to me,
-
which could only mean
I looked proper mental.
-
- Are you sure it was just cannabis you took?
- I ate it. I'm really sorry.
-
Is my mummy coming?
-
- Can you make my arms stop?
- We'll do our best.
-
- Whagwan?
- Someone called an ambulance,
-
- and they're taking him away.
- Oh, fucking Jesus, oh, no.
-
It wasn't me that sold it, right?
Not me.
-
- Oh, shit, the blue lights.
- It's an ambulance.
-
That's what they want you to believe!
-
It had been a week of firsts.
Our first gig.
-
Our first drugs.
The first time we had to admit
-
Jay had delivered on
one of his bullshit claims.
-
Simon's first actual girlfriend.
And the first time
-
I spent two days in bed silently crying
and trying to make the walls stop moving.
