Coalition

Synopsis: In May 2010, Great Britain encountered a critical dilemma - neither the Conservative party, the Labour party or the Liberal Democrat party got enough votes to win the General Election. Faced with the first hung parliament in 36 years, and with next to no seats compared to the other two parties, the Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg (Bertie Carvel) is faced with a choice: either join forces with the Conservatives and their leader David Cameron (Mark Dexter) or with Labour and their leader, the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown (Ian Grieve). Met with the possibility to being branded a traitor and the future of the nation's government in his hands, the choice that Clegg is left to make will change the face of modern British politics for years to come.

(R&B music playing)

Oh oh

- I'm tired of being alone...

- (phone ringing)

When a girl ain't my own

to call "baby"

My baby

- Been looking high and low...

- (answering machine beeps)

Man:

Hey, Katalina, it's me.

Just want to make sure

that you're coming tonight.

You're on the VIP list, plus two.

All right, honey.

Call me when you get here.

- Bye.

- (beeps)

Hello?

(doorbell chimes)

- Armands?

- Red velvet.

I didn't think you were listening to me

when I told you about this.

Of course.

You look amazing.

- Thank you.

- Are you ready?

- We have reservations in 20 minutes.

- Yup.

Where are you taking me?

A surprise.

Tonight tonight

Somehow you see me run here

I've been searching upstairs

And I've been looking

all over this club

We just was

on the dance floor

Getting it on

- She told me she was gonna...

- (phone rings)

You've reached Prime.

Leave a message after the tone.

- (beeps)

- (sighs)

Prime, I see you're still not answering

your phone calls. Um...

look, I'm coming tonight,

so my name better be on the list.

Skylar, Skylar,

stop fussing over me.

Grandma, your dinner

is in the microwave.

All you have to do is warm it.

Please take that.

- I'm old, not disabled.

- Can you take your medicine, please?

- (sighs)

- Thank you.

- Mmm.

- So you have my cellphone number, right?

- Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.

- If you need anything, just call.

- Maybe I shouldn't go.

- Skylar.

- Hmm?

- Go to the party. Have fun.

Okay.

If you need anything, just call me.

- I'm gonna keep my cellphone on.

- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

Now you have some fun!

You know how you spell "fun"? M-A-N!

But don't bring back no DNA.

(chuckles)

So I went back to the bar

To get me another drink

She said, "Boy,

are you coming back?"

I said, "Girl, what you think?"

That's when she said...

I think I'm falling in love

On this dance floor

Tonight tonight

The way you move,

I'm thinking I want more

Tonight tonight

I think I'm falling in love

on this dance floor

Tonight tonight

The way you move,

I'm thinking I want more

- Let's go, y'all

- Tonight tonight.

(crickets chirping)

(soul music playing)

Y'all, look at this sh*t

DJ Class coming hard

with the flow

Rappers are in that 410...

Hey, Prime. It's Skylar.

Just letting you know that I'm here.

But it's probably gonna

take me a while to get in.

- All right. Bye.

- Man:
Skylar?

- Yeah?

- I'm China, Prime's bodyguard.

- Oh, hi.

- He's waiting for you at the table.

Oh, okay. Thank you.

Steal spotlights, baby,

calling me klepto

Brother Classy,

better holla at your boy

Oh my goodness,

oh my God

Oh my goodness, oh my God

Oh my goodness,

oh my God

Oh my God, oh my God

Oh my goodness,

oh my God

Oh my goodness, oh my God...

Now look here, baby girl, I don't care

if you stroll in with Beyonc.

Ain't nobody get

in the VIP unless I say so.

Now you could pass it up,

club with the scrubs if you want,

but if you're trying to kick it

with me afterwards,

you can't come without her and she

damn sure can't come without you.

- Hey, Kalif.

- What, man?

- Come on, dawg, I need you.

- Oh damn.

Think about it. I'll be back.

Yo, man, what's up?

I was just setting up

my 25th hour.

You don't even know

how to tell time, bro.

- What?

- Let's go, boy. Come on.

Pardon my French,

but f*** you, haters...

Girl, I thought

you said we had VIP.

Did you not see your name on the list?

They ran out of wristbands,

so Lonzo has to come down

and bring 'em to us.

- Where the hell's he at?

- Trust me, he has five minutes

- or I'm onto the next one.

- Onto the next what exactly?

(chuckles)

Onto the next location, the next venue,

- the next man if need be.

- Mmm.

- Could you take longer?

- Oh hell no!

I thought we had security!

Who let her through?

And please say something. I'll put

a restraining order on you quick.

The only thing needing restraining

is you and your ego.

- Yo, dawg, she obsessed with me, man.

- Hey. Hey, don't start.

- Here you go again.

- Case in point-- you here, ain't you?

- Always talking.

- Always talking?

You always running your mouth too.

Always got a drink in your hand.

Alcoholic, man.

- Look...

- Yo.

- Everywhere I go she pop up behind me.

- You wish.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Please.

- You're very welcome.

No, don't give her no wristband, man.

- She don't deserve it.

- Dawn, there you go, baby.

Naw. Tell Daddy you want it,

you might be able to get it.

- Daddy? You wish I would call you daddy.

- Dawn, he's got jokes.

- You gonna sell me out like that?

- You got jokes tonight.

Hey, thanks for coming out.

I'm sorry I didn't come

Oh, it's okay. I understand.

It's no big deal.

See? That's why I like you.

- You so easy.

- Oh really? I'm easy?

(both laugh)

He said he was 10 minutes away

20 minutes ago.

Oh man, I don't understand how white

dudes show up on colored-people time.

This is not the day

for his ass to be late.
