Drugs and alcohol awareness film Bobby gets cool (part 1)

(explosion)
Ta-da! Welcome!

My name is Wizzy,
and I'm the star of the show.

Today is gonna be so cool,

and we're really gonna get out there
and make some trouble.

Actually, he's not the star of the show,

Bobby is the star of the show,

and we're both from Bobby's imagination.

We're here to give Bobby advice,

and then let him make his own mind up.

My name's Izzy, by the way.

Outta my way, Fish Face.

Eh, yeah, today me and Bobby

are gonna do lots of exciting things.

All Bobby wants in life is to be cool.

It's gonna be super!
(clank)

Don't pay attention to him.

There's Bobby now.
Let's see what he's up to.

OK class, your project this week is to

find out about the drugs and medicines
in your home.

You need to find out what drugs
are kept there,

why, and how they are taken.

Use this checklist and ask a grownup
for some help.

Yes, Mr. Jones.

(school bell rings)

You boys are so cool.

(explosion)
Ha, homework! C'mon, Bobby boy,

let's go to the park instead.

(explosion)
Park indeed!

This project could be interesting, Bobby.

You know, the more you find out about stuff,

the cleverer you'll become.

Being clever is cool.

Being clever is cool. The park, Bobby!

Some fun. Eh? Eh? Eh?

Skateboardin', yeah?
Now that's really cool.

Well, the park is fun, but I could get
into trouble if I don't do this.

Hm ... park, homework, homework, park, hm.

Homework it is.

Ha ha ha!

Pah!

(electronic music)

(crash of glass breaking)

Now, let me see. Mr. Jones said drugs
are used in medicines.

I know -- Mum keeps the medicines in the
bathroom cabinet.

(explosion)
Are you sure, Bobby? Mr. Jones said

to ask for help with this, and Mum always

tells you to keep away from that cabinet.

(explosion)
Oh, c'mon, Bobby, go for it!

The quicker we get this borin'
homework stuff done,

the quicker we get to the park.

Mum will never know.

I think I can handle this alone.

(footsteps)

Wee-hee!

Ohhhh!
(explosion)

(music, crashing)

(Mum's voice)
Bobby! What's that racket?

Bobby, I thought I told you not
to touch that cabinet.

I keep that medicine box locked
because of what's inside.

It can be very dangerous
if it's not used properly.

What were you thinkin'?

I suppose I wasn't thinking, Mum.

It's my homework, though.

We need to find out about different types
of medicines and drugs.

Mr. Jones said to ask for help with it.

Bobby, you know you can always ask me
for help, no matter what it is.

Now let's see.

Do you know what this is?

(techno sound effects)

(Bobby)
I'm not sure, but I think I used it

to help me breathe.

(Mum)
That's right. Some people, like you

when you were very small, need the drugs

inside when you found it hard to breathe.

It can help your lungs to work properly.
It's called an inhaler.

(Bobby)
How does it work, Mum?

(Mum)
You put it by your mouth

and breathe in deeply.

The drugs inside go down into your lungs,

and work their magic by relaxing
the muscles.

(Bobby)
So you can breathe better. Whew!

(Mum)
What about this?

(Bobby)
It's another medicine.

You used to give it to me
when I was little.

(Mum)
That's right. Any idea why?

Well, it's called Calpol, and it's for
infant pain and fever relief.

That means it can cool you down

when you've got a high temperature.

(Bobby)
Does that mean when I'm too hot?

(Mum)
Sure does! I used to give you

just a spoonful at night,
if you had a fever.

(Bobby)
Does it taste nice?

(Mum)
It's not too bad, but you must only
take it with an adult.

I also keep these tablets in this box.

I don't take these, Mum.

Are they for adults?

(Mum)
You're dead right, Bobbykins.

These are painkillers for grownups.

They're called paracetamol.

They can be swallowed with a drink of water

if you have a headache.

(Bobby)
But Mum,

how can your headache be in your stomach?

(Mum)
Well, paracetamol goes to the stomach

when you swallow it. Then, it gets absorbed

into the blood, which travels
up to the brain,

and stops the headache.

So, medicines are like drugs.

They all look different, and they can
all be taken in different ways.

(Mum)
Yes!

And some medicines, like this one,

have to be injected straight into the body.

That way it can work its magic straightaway.

(Bobby)
Does it hurt, Mum?

(Mum)
It doesn't really hurt.

It's called a syringe, and I use it to

inject medicine called insulin sometimes.

Some people, like me, need help
with their blood sugar.

(Bobby)
Blood sugar?

(Mum)
You'd be surprised what's in your body.

We're mostly made of water, you know.

Everything inside has to be properly
balanced, like any machine.

When you eat, your body breaks down
the food,

and puts the nutrients
into your bloodstream.

Normally, your body produces insulin

to take the sugar out of your blood,

and move it into your cells.

This is how food gives you energy.

If you're diabetic, then there isn't
enough insulin

to move glucose out of the bloodstream.

That's when an injection is needed.

(Bobby)
So injecting is another way to take medicine?

Good job! I'm so proud of you, Bobby,

my clever little man. Mwahh!

Remember, you should only take medicine
when an adult is around.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

(Bobby)
I think that's all, Mum, thanks.

Well done, Bobby. I never knew

there were so many different types of drugs

right here in the house.

(explosion)
Mwah! Good job, clever little man!

I thought you wanted to be cool.

Can we do something fun now, please?

Let's go skate, yeah?
(explosions)

Later, Mum! I'm just going to the park.

Be careful! And come back in one hour.

We're having sausages for dinner.

OK, Mum!

(clock chiming)

(electronic music)
(ducks quacking)

(explosion)
Woo-hoo! Yeah!

Outta my way, you feathered freaks!

(sound effect indicating speed)

You've got some fancy tricks there,
little man.

(skateboard wheels on hard surface)

Can you do an over-ended 360
on the half-pipe?

What about a [unclear] with a little
Ollie at the end of it?

(sound effects indicating speed)

Whoa! Cool! Heh heh. Mind if I try?

Eh, okay then Eddie, here.

Take care of these for me, little man.

Let's see if I've still got the old magic.

(music)

(drumroll)

Oof!
(crash)

This is harder than it looks, little man.

Heheheh. You deserve a medal.

Help yourself to a beer. And a smoke.

(explosion)
A smoke! What's it taste like?

Have a drag. You wanna be cool, don't you?

And beer? This is more like it, Bobby boy.

This is more like it!

(explosion)
I don't know about this, Bobby.

What's he doin' with your skateboard?

You should go home now before he --

Home. Home!
This is just gettin' interestin'.

Have a slurp of the beer, Bobby boy.

He said you could. Coola boola!
(explosion)

(puff)
(coughing)

Go right ahead, little man, don't be shy.

Oh no, here comes Parky!

Let's do one!

(splash)

(footsteps)
Come back here, you two!

♪ do doot de doo, doot de doo ♪
Ahhh!

(music, footsteps)

(explosion)
Oh Bobby, let's go home

before we get into trouble.

That policeman is really angry.

He's coming back!

(music)

(clock chiming)

The sausages are almost ruined, Bobby.

I was very worried about you.

Where have you been?

What's that smell? Have you been smoking?

And that stain on your jumper --

(sniff sniff)
-- beer?! Get inside.

You and I are going to have a long chat,
young man.

(explosion)
Now we're for it, Bobby.

Mum is really mad.

Wait until she finds out that you've
lost your skateboard too.

(explosion)
At least we did the homework,

Bobby boy!

Oh, the homework! We left it behind
in the park!

(explosions)
