- Not another driving lesson.

- How many have you had now--

- Forty--

- [Chuckles]

- You sure all you're doing is driving--

- What else would we be doing--

Not all men are obsessed

with sex, you know.

Who mentioned sex--

Look, you go home

if you want to.

- You'll scare him off if he sees you.

No, I mean

Oh, bugger.

[Coughs]

[Exhales]

This is a nice park.

Yeah, it's nice.

- [Coughs]

- Filthy habit.

- What--

- Smoking.

I only started because

all my mates did.

Peer pressure,

they call it.

Yeah.

Peer pressure.

- [Coughs]

- Don't smoke to impress me.

- You be yourself.

- Yeah.

- Listen, Dixon, I-- - Hey, the name's John.

John. About what

happened in there--

Forget it, mate. My mistake.

I don't know what came over me.

In there it's usually a question

of not knowing who came over you.

- I didn't know it was you.

- I certainly didn't know it was you.

Look, let's just put it

out of our minds.

You don't know why

you did it either, right--

Y-You mean you're--

Geez, I thoughtwhen Kevin

and the guys call you names and that,

they're only

taking the piss, right--

I mean, you're not

really--dodgy--

- Yeah, I'm--dodgy.

- Oh, f*** me.

No, I don't mean-- I just mean--

F*** me.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

I'm not.

What are you up to now-- Do you fancy

going for a coffee or something, or--

- I live around the corner.

- No, I don't like coffee.

Anyway, I should get in some training

tonight. You know, sports day.

Yeah. Good luck.

Are--

Are your parents in--

- You did say no sugar, didn't you--

- Yeah.

Here. It's hot.

Why don't you sit down--

There's only the bed, I'm afraid.

- Is it okay--

- The bed--

- The tea.

- Oh, yeah. Great.

Didn't-- Didn't have you down for a soccer fan.

- I'm not.

- Why all the--

Oh.

- How long have you known that you're-- - Dodgy--

- [Chuckles]

- Since I was 11.

- F*** me. Eleven years old--

- Yeah.

When I was in the Cubs, there was this-- this porn mag being passed around,

and all the other kids were deciding

which girl they liked and stuff,

and, uh, and one kid

whispers to me,

Don't know what the fuss is about. I'd

rather see another boy's willy anytime.--

-So, I said, So would I.--[Chuckles]

-[Chuckles]

I've never really talked

to another bloke about this stuff.

Oh, it's okay.

I'm just interested.

Well, intrigued.

- Like, does anyone know--

- Only Linda. She's a mate of mine.

- What about your parents--

- Haven't got a clue.

- What if they found out--

- I'm not gonna let them find out.

They'd be gutted.

Blimey!

- Oh, that must be Linda's.

- And what was it doing in your bed--

- Please.

- Bloody hell. A gay teddy bear.

-John.

- [Laughing]

I can't.

I can't handle that.

It's all right, John.

Lots of gay blokes don't like kissing.

I'm not gay!

[Sighs] Look.

I don't know why I-- It was just a bit of fun.

- I only came for coffee.

- You don't like coffee.

Stop being so f***ing clever!

John!

----[Drums]

Hi, John.

Steven!

Steven!

What--

- Your tea's ready.

- I'm not hungry.

Steven, have you got

something on your mind--

No.

- Is that your article--

- Yeah.

- Pleased with it--

- No, it's crap. Stupid.

But you were

really into it.

- Come on, let's have a look.

- No.

- I'm not sending it in.

- Oh, God, Steven.

Why can't you

see something through for once--

I mean,

what's your problem--

- Sorry to be such a disappointment.

- [Scoffs]

- Yeah, but if they hadn't lied-- - They had to lie.

You don't think being up front

about it would have been better--

What, like,

Mom, you know that bloke Romeo--

Well, I know I'm only 14 and that, and

I know he's just murdered your cousin,

but I thought he was a bit of

all right, so I married him.--

[Teacher] Well, what would you guys

have done in that situation--

- Steven--

- Sir--

- I said, what would you have done--

- Me-- When, sir--

[Students Chucking]

-[BeIIRings]

-Okay, Iisten. Rememberthat tomorrow--

You wiIIhave to

recite a speech.

Any chance of borrowing camera equipment

from your dad for the magazine--

No chance. He's got real down

on me at the moment.

Well, could you ask him anyway--

It'sjust--I told Wendy--

God, Mark, I'm not groveling to my dad

just so you can impress Wendy Bates.

Oh, thanks.

- What's up, Steve--

- What do you mean, sir--

- Everything okay at home--

- Everything's fine.

- Girl trouble--

- I said everything's fine.

Oh, did Mark ask you

about the camera--

Uh, yeah. I don't think I'm gonna

be able to get one.

Oh, that's a shame. Wendy's

doing a piece for the magazine--

about the athletics team--

and we need some photographs-- You sure you can't help--

What's with this

sudden interest--

Well, I just thought doing the school

magazine would be good for me.

Hmm. Okay.

Just you make sure I get it back.

I need it for Richard's wedding.

And yes, you do

have to come.

- I'm afraid I'm a bit early. My-- - Ah, Mr. Armstrong.

Not to worry. I'm not quite ready

myself yet, so make yourself at home.

III be back in a minute.

Debbie, can I just check something--

Glen! God, I thought I'd

never see you again.

What the hell

are you doing here--

I just came to borrow

a camera from my dad.

- Your dad--

- It's cool.

He's got no idea.

- Why did you stand me up the other day--

- Please, keep your voice down.

- Did you find another man--

- Right. Ready for your big moment--

- [Baby Crying]

- Hello, darling.

[Crying Continues]

I thought I told you

not to wear that jacket.

Now, Mrs. Armstrong, if you'd

like to just take a seat there.

- [Baby Crying]

- Good. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

Hello.

From forth the fatal loins

of these two foes,

a pair of

star-crossed lovers.--
