We'll get some stuff for you.

Here's Lauren and Sharon.

Say hello to Lucy.

All right.

Hiyo.

You'll be sharing with Lauren.

She's got the biggest room.

- Karl. Karl!

- We've got big TV, videos--

Yes?

What am I doing?

You'll be sharing with Lucy.

I'm sharing a room now?

Yes.

Why couldn't you tell me

this earlier, on me own?

Well, I've just decided.

You always want a bit of

responsibility, so there you go.

Karl, I'm 16.

I need me own space.

Do you know what I mean?

- Of course you do.

- I'm an adult.

Darren?

[ Darren ]

Huh?

Are you on shift?

Yeah, I've just started.

Just having my cup of tea.

Well, you're supposed to have--

Let me say one thing.

Sorry. A minute, Lauren.

You're supposed to have your tea

before you come on shift.

I'm to share with

some other f***ing person?

No. No! I'm not doing it!

You're always looking

for a bit of respect.

I ain't f***ing doing it!

You always keep saying,

"Treat me like an adult."

I'm not doing it!

Go on. Just follow Lauren.

Pass the beans.

[ Ben ]

Yes, please. Oh! Lauren!

Can you please

like a normal person?

with your bunny slippers.

[ Lauren ]

I said that to ya!

[ Humming ]

I'm invisible

I'm invisible

Go, boy

[ Lauren Laughing ] Do you know

who Gloria Gaynor is?

You look like her.

Well, this obviously dates back

some little while...

because it's got

"per quarter, sixpence"--

[ Woman ] Yes.

You'd get a lot, wouldn't you,

for sixpence?

[ Woman ]

You would. You would indeed.

Two and a half P, yes?

[ Man ]

I would date this probably

to the start of the 1930s.

[ Woman ] Right, yes.

I can see the deco influence.

[ Man ] Exactly. Exactly. It

has that sort of eau-de-ness

feel about it, doesn't it? Yeah.

I love the idea of

putting this rock in.

It's so brilliantly colored.

And did you have this

in the kitchen?

Oh, we've had it all over.

So what are you doing

tomorrow then?

Do you want to go into town?

Yeah.

I haven't got

any bus fare though.

I'll sort that out.

[ Sighs, Clears Throat ]

Lauren?

What?

Please,

could I have the light on?

No, you f***ing can't.

[ Whispering ]

I love you.

[ Children Chattering ]

So, what?

You're just not talking to me

at all today, huh?

No.

[ Vacuum Cleaner

Whirring ]

Sam, I know you can hear me.

Stop it now.

Get up and get ready and go.

You were all up for it yesterday

when the chap asked you

what day you could make.

Right, well, I wash my hands

of you, Sam.

I'm really disappointed.

[ Groans ]

[ Tapping ]

[ Whispering ]

Okay.

Come on.

[ Bus Approaches ]

[ Brakes Hiss ]

[ Engine Idling ]

[ Brakes Hiss ]

- What are you looking at?

- You.

You're so beautiful.

I'm not.

I think you're pretty though.

Do you think you're pretty?

No? I do.

- Do you want some makeup on?

- Okay.

Have you ever wore this before?

No.

No?

You never wear your mum's?

I've never lived with my mum.

Hold on. Let's slap

some lipstick on.

Okay.

Go "Ahh."

Oh, this looks

really nice on you.

Yeah?

Come on then.

[ Lauren ]

Come on.

[ Woman ]

How's your other daughter?

[ Man ]

What?

I'm just asking.

How's your other daughter?

This has got nothing

to do with that.

W-Why?

It just doesn't.

Well, I'm just asking.

You're f***ing twisting it.

I'm not twisting anything.

Yeah, you are.

You just f***ing twisted it.

Why don't you just tell her

that you love her.

And you can't do that.

That's not true.

How is it with--

It's f***ed. It's f***ed. Okay?

What's her name?

Why? Why? Why?

[ Father ]

Do you want me to say it?

'Cause she's not f***ing you.

All right?

[ Sighs ]

[ Woman ]

I'm frightened.

[ Father ]

I know.

[ Father ]

You're frightened of you.

[ Woman ]

Frightened of me?

[ Coffee Machine Whirring ]

Kiss me again.

[ Woman ]

You're so beautiful.

[ Bottle Cap Pops ]

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm going to see my mum today.

Are you?

Yeah.

Could you empty

your pockets, please?

You think

we're the same people?

I watched you.

I know it's the same people.

Are you sure?

Bit arrogant, you are,

aren't you?

Not really, no. I'm just--

I don't know.

I watched you. You put

something in your pocket.

I swear I haven't done anything.

You've got two choices.

You empty your pockets,

or else the police are called.

You'll be locked up.

I'm just saying that

I haven't done anything.

You have. I saw you.

I haven't done anything.

Could you tell me

what your name is?

[ Lauren ] No.

We can do it the easy way or

the hard way, 'cause the police

are gonna get called.

[ Lauren ]

And what are the police

gonna do?

[ Officer ] They're going

to arrest you, sweetheart,

'cause you've been shoplifting.

[ Lauren ] The only thing they

can do is keep me up there for

about 20 minutes, half an hour.

[ Officer ]

Uh, I don't think so.

How old are you?

I'm 14.

No, you're not.

Yes, I am 14.

I don't think so.

[ Officer ]

You're a lot older than that.

No, I'm not. How old are you?

[ Officer ]

How old are you, babe?

Eleven.

Should you be at school?
