Kids in Love Page #4

Hang out with me one of these days.

We can try and work you out.

- Are you done?

- Yeah, sure, man.

Can we go? If it's not too dull.

Not too dull at all.

See you later, Jack.

Is this how you imagined your life, Mum?

What do you mean, love?

When you were younger.

Is this how you thought

things would pan out?

I mean, was this the dream?

No, of course not.

Then why?

Because that's just how it works.

You know, you...

Life doesn't always...

...play out the way

you think it's going to.

In a funny way that's what

makes life more interesting.

You don't really think that, do you?

Yes. Yes, I do.

That's... that's how it works.

- I was going to be a painter.

- I know.

And Nancy was going

to be a fashion designer.

And together we were

going to, you know...

- Take over the world.

- Exactly, darling.

Hmm.

And then I fell in love with your dad.

Hand in hand we walk along

Our sandy path

Humming a song

Oh, we have come

Yes, we have come home

I want you

What I've been waiting for

Hearing the waves

Crash against the shore

Oh, we have come

Yes, we have come home

Oh, that would

That would be marvelous

A glorious beach living

Oh, that would

That would be marvelous

A glorious beach living

That would be

That would be marvelous

A glorious beach living

Oh, oh, oh-oh

There are no words to explain

How much I hate the bloody rain

And the nasty wind

That creeps under my skin

I want to live right by the sea

With our kids playing

under old pine trees

Oh, that is where

we would be staying

Oh, oh, oh, oh

That would be

That would be marvelous

A glorious beach living

Oh, that would

That would be marvelous

A glorious beach living

Oh, that would...

What do you wanna do?

Right now?

No, I mean, like, what do you wanna do?

Cassius asked me the question

the other day, and I didn't...

I didn't have an answer.

I get that.

I think that life is too short

to... to do something

that you don't like, but it...

I don't know, it takes a lot

of courage and bravery to...

...to really have trust in yourself,

and do what you wanna do and...

I... you know, I didn't

wanna end up like my parents,

and spend the rest of my days

doing a job that I don't like,

and not having the time

to see my children and, um...

It's... it's not always easy.

Yeah.

Don't you worry?

Yeah, I worry a lot.

Being around you guys

makes me worry less, though.

And you shouldn't worry.

If, uh...

If anyone deserves happiness

more than you, I wanna meet 'em.

That's sweet.

Well played, man.

Good job. Played, Aaron.

See you, Michael.

See you later, Josh, mate.

Played, Josh. Take care, man.

- Well played, dude.

- Yeah, man, you did brilliant.

- There's little Reid.

- Alright, Reid?

Alright, Jack?

Why weren't you at work yesterday, man?

Oh, yeah, man. I was, uh...

I've decided to stop working.

What? How are you

gonna pay for South America?

Yeah, that's what I... what

I wanted to talk to you about.

I'm not sure I necessarily

wanna go anymore.

- What?

- Yeah. I just...

We've both worked really hard,

and we've saved up money,

a lot of money...

Yeah.

And I'm not exactly sure

it's what I wanna do with it.

What's gonna be better

than going with your best mate

to South America for six months?

Like, it was an amazing plan,

and I wanted it too, but...

But it's this new girl, right?

It's got nothing to do with

the new girl, man. I'm not with her.

But I've had time to think and,

you know, I...

No, I don't know.

I don't know at all.

You might have a better time

if you go with someone else.

What are you on about?

You're my best mate!

We've been best mates since,

like, I can remember.

And now you're...

As your best mate,

I'm saying it's not what I want.

Whether that's sh*t of me, or not,

I'm not gonna waste

that period of my life.

Next thing you'll say you're

not going to Bristol anymore.

I haven't made any decisions

about Bristol.

- You out of your f***ing mind?

- What?

- What did your mum and dad say?

- I haven't told them yet.

- What, so it's not definite?

- What do you mean?

You can't just change your plans, mate.

I can change my plans, Tom!

I'm an adult!

What do you... what do you mean?

Like, if I don't wanna go to uni,

I don't have to go to uni.

I'm not gonna go traveling with you.

Deal with that.

Whatever. I'm going to work.

- Let's have a conversation.

- I don't want to talk about it, mate!

I think it's time

to settle the score

I'll be loving you for evermore

I'll be loving you for evermore

I'll be loving you

Mind if we run a quick errand?

Oh, sure, man.

Take your time.

Yeah, man, we've been here half an hour.

- Who's this?

- Charlie. Your newest recruit.

How old are you? How old is he?

- He's 15.

- He's a good kid.

Ah, it's too young, man.

Get yourself something to eat.

- When's your birthday?

- November.

November. I'll see you then.

Come on, Tweedledee, Tweedledum.

We're late.

This a new guy?

No, this is Jack.

Jack, Gabriel and Felix.

The Glimmer Twins.

Hey. Nice to meet you.

Who are we seeing?

Remember that guy in Mayfair?

- Oh, how can I forget?

- I'm blanking.

The f***ing guy that made us

dance round his Picasso.

Oi, turn it up.

Blackstreet and Teddy

The original rump shakers

Shorty get down, good Lord

Baby got 'em open all over town

Strictly biz

You don't play around

Cover much ground

Got game by the pound

Getting paid is a forte

Each and every day

True player way

I can't get her outta my mind

Well, I think about

the girl all the time

Well, well.

East side to the west side

Pushing phat rides It's no surprise

She got tricks in the stash

Stacking up the cash

Fast when it comes to the gas

By no means average

She's on when she's gotta have it

Wait. Hold on, man.

Turn that engine off.

What?

This is what you do?

Yes, Jack.

Have you got a problem with it?

Well, yeah.

I mean, it seems pretty f***ed.

Do they seem unhappy to you?

No, but I mean how...

It's just money, man.

We're in control, alright?

- Are you?

- Yes. 100%. Thank you.

How do I survive? No parents

bankrolling this motherf***er.

My parents don't pay for me.

And you pay the electricity

and the water and the rent?

- No, but...

- Then it's just you?

- What do you mean?

- I've got Evelyn, haven't I?

How do you think she's gonna get by?

Evelyn can work a normal job

like anybody else.

Stare at the windscreen,

then try and imagine Evelyn

brewing tea in a mail room.

That's what I'm about to start doing.

Oh, sorry, man.

I mean, I wouldn't do that

if you paid me.

It's unpaid.

You know what, Jack, you could

always come and work for me.

So can we, can we move on?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, OK.

Yeah, Kiko bun bun bun bun

Sometimes I feel to do

a boogie to a few 45s, yeah

'Cause sometimes

You really, really, really

can't beat those vibes

Sometimes I feel to do

a boogie to a few 45s, yeah

'Cause sometimes

- Did you just get here?

- Yeah, I just got here.
