FADE IN:
BEGIN TITLES:
SIMPLE BLACK SCREEN WITH TEXT:
The following feature is written

and directed by Andrew Soulsby
unfortunately though is mainly
comprised of various rip off's and
quotes from other movies...
However to get around being called
a plagiarist I just call it paying
homage to some of my favourite
films and get away with it :)...
so there lawyers put away your
notepads.
Some of the images in the movie

maybe inappropriate for idiots as
they will not get the witty
dialogue and political satire...
Who I'm I kidding its mainly
blasphemy and fart jokes. Still...
You paid to get in and we don't
give out re-funds so... Just enjoy.
One further note although this

movie is inspired by true events
they are exaggerated and stretched
through poetic licence... So in
other words the teachers aren't
really that stupid... Except Mr.
Lord.
FADE TO:
INT. SOULSBYS BEDROOM – MORNING (6:29)
Opens with a still shot of a dark room with a figure

lying in bed.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Everyone at some point in time in
their life would have heard, Oh
wait a second sorry I shouldn't
generalize like that should I, Not
everyone but a lot of people would
have heard...
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Wow sorry, New NARATOR guy can I
stop you right there.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Em I guess... sure. Go on.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Its that you just broke the first
rule of narrating. A narrator
should never refer to himself in
the first person... Ever!
NARRATOR (V.O)
Well sorry I'll never do it again.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Damn right you won't do it again.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Well calm down, it was just a
small mistake.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Yeah sure a small mistake. God why
are the new guys always such
idiots?
NARRATOR (V.O)
Well don't have a go.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
See, this is exactly why I should
have been cast as NARRATOR.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Yer... but you weren't so as I was
saying. At some point in your life
you would have heard someone
say... well If you made a movie
out of my life, it would sell out
cinemas all over the world and
this was...
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Sorry, can I stop you again.
NARRATOR sighs.
NARRATOR (V.O)
yep... what?
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Oh its just, I for one have never
heard anyone say that.
NARRATOR (V.O)
So?
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Well if I've never heard anyone
say it, out of just the two of us
that's fifty percent of people who
have never heard that saying.
NARRATOR (V.O)
So your point is?
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
so out of the people who watch
this film fifty percent of them
wont have any clue about what your
talking about... Wow that took
time to explain. So what are some
kind of idiot or something.
NARRATOR (V.O)
No my friend me pretending not to
understand where you were coming
from was all a elaborate plan to
get... YOU! To break the second
rule of narrating. Never refer to
the audience.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Yer... you sure would have got me
there but I'm not narrating this
film am I. You are.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Oh.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
It was a nice try though.
NARRATOR (V.O)
You think.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Yer...
NARRATOR (V.O)
I should really get back to
narrating this film should I...
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Yer...
NARRATOR (V.O)
So, anyway. This is a movie...
Obviously.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Wow calm down.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Sorry, I thought it was funny.
NARRATOR (V.O)
It wasn't that funny.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Well now who's having a go.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Who was I having a go at.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
The script writer.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Your right I should never have a
go at the script writer I'm very
sure he is a clever, witty and
handsome man.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Darn tooting.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Thank you now can I please just
introduce this movie its been like
two minutes already.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Sorry, I wont say another word.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Good.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Helpful or none helpful.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Right.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Not one peep from me.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Ok that's it would you, would you
please just leave.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
What?
NARRATOR (V.O)
Well its just I'm used to working
alone you see.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Oh. I see.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Its nothing personal its just...
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
No I get it. Your a loner. A lone
wolf.
NARRATOR (V.O)
I so glad you get it.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Ok. If you want me gone just say
the word.
NARRATOR (V.O)
The word!
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Ok I'm going. Bye.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Bye.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
I don't need you anyway.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Good.
Long pause.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
would you please let me stay?
NARRATOR (V.O)
Ok. Just shut up then. SO! This is
a movie about an experiment of
what would happen if you did
exactly that. Make a movie about a
persons everyday life...
Long Pause.
NARRATOR 2 phone rings.
NARRATOR (V.O)
(CONT'D)
WOULD YOU COME ON!!!
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Sorry this is important I've got
to take this.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Oh man I was building suspense and
everything I had the dramatic
pause just right and....
NARRATOR 2s Voices gets quieter as he goes off into

the distance.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
(INTO PHONE)
No I'm not busy.
The sound of the door closing can be heard.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Ah that's better now He's gone. So
as I was saying what if you where
to make a movie of just a regular
persons everyday life... Without
them knowing.
NARRATOR 2 re-enters. You can hear the door open.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
So. What did I miss.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Oh before he starts of again. This
is ANDREW SOULSBY and this is his
life.

ANDREW gets out of bed and slowly walks out into THE
HOUSE HALLWAY the camera follows.
INT. THE HOUSE HALLWAY – MORNING (6:40)

the door as he closes it. The sound of someone
brushing their teeth followed by the flush of a toilet
can be heard.

LAUGH” and picks up his clothes of the banister and
walks back into his room the camera follows until he

THIRWELL while picking up a paper.
THIRWELL

RYAN
Ah forget it.
THIRWELL puts his hand on RYAN's shoulder.
THIRWELL
Don't worry RYAN.
RYAN
Its just no one ever lets me speak
in the morning. There always
something getting in the way.

CARL points at MR. EAGAN who is walking away in the

opposite direction.
CARL
He's gonna think...
SOULSBY
Yes I know. That's what makes this
game so fun. Making teachers think

CARL

SOULSBY puts his head on the desk.

MR. THOMPSON

questions for these to.
Long pause with a shot of a bored class.
MR. THOMPSON
(CONT'D)

Long pause.
MR. THOMPSON
(CONT'D)
Ok I'll pick some one. ADAM.
ADAM lifts his head up from the desk from a sleepy

state.
ADAM

The class looks at ADAM confused.
ADAM
Sorry sir I wasn't listening.
MR. Thompson
That's ok. Who was listening.
Shot of the class no one raises their hands.
Close up on QUINNY. He sighs.
CUT TO:
The class is leaving. SOULSBY goes up to MR. THOMPSON
SOULSBY
I thought you where doing class
assembly today sir?
MR. THOMPSON
No. I'm doing a school assembly
tomorrow.
SOULSBY
What on.
MR. THOMPSON
The true meaning of Christmas and
how its not all about commercial
rubbish and that it actually has a
meaning.
SOULSBY
Oh.
MR. THOMPSON
Yes.
Long pause.
SOULSBY
What's that?
MR. THOMPSON
The birth of Christ.
SOULSBY
Oh an assembly on the birth of
Christ how original.
MR. THOMPSON
Well what would you suggest?
SOULSBY
What?
MR. THOMPSON
Well if you where doing an
assembly what would you say?
CUT TO:
INT. MAIN HALL – MORNING (DREAM SEQUENCE)
SOULSBY is standing at a podium in-front of the

school. Close up on SOULSBY.
SOULSBY
I don't have to tell you things
are bad. Everybody knows things
are bad. It's a depression.
Everybody's out of work or scared
of losing their job. The pound
buys a penny's work, banks are
going bust. Punks are running wild
in the street and there's nobody
anywhere who seems to know what to
do, and there's no end to it. We
know the air is unfit to breathe

and our food is unfit to eat, and
we sit watching our TV's while
some local newscaster tells us
that today we had fifteen
homicides and sixty-three violent
crimes, as if that's the way it's
supposed to be. We know things are
bad - worse than bad. They're
crazy. It's like everything
everywhere is going crazy, so we
don't go out anymore. We sit in
the house, and slowly the world
around us seems to be getting
smaller, and all we say is,
'Please, at least leave us alone
in our living rooms. Let me have
my toaster, my TV and my steel-
belted radials and I won't say
anything. Just leave us alone.'
Well, I'm not gonna leave you
alone. I want you to get mad! I
don't want you to protest. I don't
want you to riot - I don't want
you to write to your M. P's
because I wouldn't know what to
tell you to write. I don't know
what to do about the depression
and the inflation and the
Terrorists and the crime in the
street. All I know is that first
you've got to get mad. You've got
to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING,
Goddammit! My life has VALUE!' So
I want you to get up now. I want
all of you to get up out of your
chairs. I want you to get up right
now and go to the window. Open it,
and stick your head out, and yell,
'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT
GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I
want you to get up right now, sit
up, go to your windows, open them
and stick your head out and yell -
'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not
going to take this any more!'
Things have got to change. But
first, you've gotta get mad!...
You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as
hell, and I'm not going to take
this any more!' Then we'll figure
out what to do about the

depression and the inflation and
the oil crisis. But first get up
out of your chairs, open the
window, stick your head out, and
yell, and say it "I'M AS MAD AS
HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE
THIS ANYMORE!"

SOULSBY goes to walk out.
MR. THOMPSON
Soulsby?
SOULSBY
Yer.
MR. THOMPSON
What where you just imaging?
SOULSBY
I imagined I was giving the famous
speech from Network in front of
the whole school.
MR. THOMPSON suddenly turns serious.
MR. THOMPSON
Oh... You know I'm so sick of you
and your day dreaming... In-fact
I'm as mad as hell and I'm not
gonna take this any more.
MR. THOMPSONS chuckles. SOULSBYS is still scared.

MR. THOMPSON
(CONT'D)
Oh I was just joking see I said
I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna
take this any more just like in...
Network.
SOULSBY looks relived.
SOULSBY
Oh... Good one.
SOULSBY walks out.

SOULSBY completely smartens his appearance. Tucks in

his shirt, does up his tie and blazer.
SOULSBY
I've got him here.
MR. STUART makes his way up to SOULSBY.
MR. STUART
AH. SOULSBY very good. Un-tuck

SOULSBY looks confused and Un-tucks his shirt.

I present to you... MR ROGERS.
TITLE: MATHS – 8:50 AM
NIALL
Sir?
MR. ROGERS
Then from here you multiply out of

NIALL

MR. ROGERS

Mutters from the class.
CLASS

MR. ROGERS turns his head and looks on his class in

shame.
NIALL
Sir?
MR. ROGERS
Yes NIALL but next time can put
your hand up.
NIALL
Oh.
MR. ROGERS
So what's your question?
NIALL
I was just asking if you have to
put your hand up if you have a
question.
MR. ROGERS sighs.
MR. ROGERS
Get out.
NIALL
What?
MR. ROGERS
I said GET OUT!
NIALL
Why?
MR. ROGERS storms over to NIALL at his desk.
MR. ROGERS
You know why you ask me that
stupid question to get a laugh out
of these clowns.
The classroom goes silent.
MILLER
HA HA HA.
MR. ROGERS storms over to MILLERS desk.
MR. ROGERS
You too get out.
MILLER
Yes sir.
MILLER starts to stand up.
HUGH
Gutted miller.
MR. ROGERS
Do you want to join them.
HUGH
Not really Sir cause I haven't
done anything.
MR. ROGERS
Well I tell you what you three can
stand outside MR. STUARTS office
and see what he has to say about
the matter.
SOULSBY
Well come on sir that's a bit
harsh.
MR. ROGERS
Well you can join them and explain
how you feel they've been un-
fairly treated to MR. STUART too.
SOULSBY
What seriously?
MR. ROGERS
Yes, MR. SOULSBY I am 100% serious
now your four out now.
All four pupils get up and make their way to the door.
SOULSBY
Sir I think it would a bit more
productive if you just taught the
class out there.
MR. ROGERS
Go!
CUT TO:
INT. OUTSIDE MR. STUARTS OFFICE – MORNING (9.20)
MILLER, HUGH, and NIALL are all leaving MR. STUARTS

office with lined paper. SOUSBY isn't and has a smug
look on his face.
SOULSBY
For a minute their I thought we
where in trouble.
TITLE: Movie quote 2 (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance

Kid)
MILLER
What? Are you kidding? Damn... 2
sides of lines.
HUGH
I know... and that line was just
complete over kill.
NIALL
Yer.
Looks down at his sheet.
NIAL (READING)
I must not make inappropriate or
stupid remarks in class to my
teacher. That's just... That's
just torture.
SOULSBY
Come on guys two sides of lines
isn't that bad.
MILLER
Your just saying that because you
got away with out them.
SOULSBY
Well guys I tried defending you. I
really did. But if there's
anything I can do.
MILLER
Well you could do our lines.
SOULBY
NO!
MR. STUART pops his head out of the door.
MR. STUARTS
No stop standing around and back
to class.
MR STUART closes his office door.
NIALL
I send him back to class one day.
SOULSBY
Bad insult but the sentiment is
the same.
CUT TO:
NIALL, HUGH, SOULSBY and MILLER re-enter the MATH

class.
NIALL
I think I speak for everyone sir
when I give you my deepest
apologies and we'll never do
anything like this... again.
MR. ROGERS
Thank you boys. Now sit down and
maybe we can all get on with some
work.
SOULSBY
You don't speak for me NIALL.
MR. ROGERS
Can you please stop.... talking!?
You been back 10 seconds and your
already causing problems why do I
have to speak to you in this tone?
Now sit down because We've wasted
enough time on you and we aren't
leaving until we get some work
done.
NIALL, HUGH, SOULSBY and MILLER sit down at their

desks.
The bell rings.
SOULSBY
Well that's quitting time.
Everyone starts packing their bags.
MR. ROGERS
Thank you for that but I'm the
teacher and I tell you when you
can pack up and when its time to
leave and for the little stunt
that the 4 musketeers pulled today
I think we can all work through
break.
JOE
Wow sir wait a minute...
MR. ROGERS
I don't care what you have to say.
Yes maybe you didn't do anything
wrong or blah, blah, blah. They
did so you can all blame them.
JOE
No its not that sir its just I
thought there was only 3
musketeers.
MR. ROGERS
There was 4.
SOULSBY
No sir he's right d'Artagnan was
never actually one of the
musketeers. I mean you could argue
honorary one but... I think to
call him one of the actual
musketeers is wrong and damn right
stupid... sir.
MR ROGERS looks at SOULSBY with a angry stair.
SOULSY (CONT'D)
What?
CUT TO:
INT. INSIDE MR. STUARTS OFFICE – MORNING (9.53)
MR. STUART is looking around for some lined paper nut

cant find any.
MR. STUART
We seem to have run out of lined
paper.
SOULSBY
Oh no. Sir I'm sorry about that.
Maybe some other time then.
SOULSBY goes to leave.
MR. STUART
No. Your not getting away that
easily wait a second.
MR. STUART finds a new exercise book and rips out a

page of lined paper.
MR. STUART (CONT'D)

Ah here we are. Fill all the lines
on that piece of paper for
tomorrow.
SOULSBY sighs.
SOULSBY
What's the line?
MR. STUART
The same line I gave to the other
lads. I must not make
inappropriate or stupid remarks in
class to my teacher.
SOULSBY looks at the piece of paper and his jaw drops.
SOULSBY
Where gonna need a bigger boat.
TITLE: Movie quote 3 (JAWS)
MR. STUART
Excuse me?
SOULSBY
There's no way I can fit that huge
line on this tiny piece of paper.
MR. STUART
We'll make it fit. And get to
class. What do you have?
SOULSBY
R.E.
MR. STUART
Who's your teacher?
SOULSBY
MR. COLLINS.
MR. STUART
Well I'll be checking up with your

class on time.
SOULSBY leaves
INT. OUTSIDE MR. STUARTS OFFICE – MORNING (9.55)
SOULSBY comes out carrying lines. NIALL, HUGH and

MILLER are waiting outside.
SOULSBY looks at the lined paper with a deep stare.
SOULSBY
The Horror. The Horror.
TITLE: Movie quote 4 (Apocalypse Now)
HUGH
Hi.
SOULSBY looks up startled
SOULSBY
Wow you scared me there.
SOULSBY holds up his lines.
MILLER
So how did it go?
SOULSBY
Two sides of lines this is getting
silly now isn't it.
NIALL
oh come on two sides of lines
isn't that bad really.
SOULSBY
Yer, yer, yer I get your point.
They all walk off down the corridor.
HUGH
What have we got next?
MILLER
R.E. its that assembly thing. You
know Its on believe in God.
Apparently trying to get us to
consider the philosophy behind
God. Like for example if we where
living in a Godless universe why
would people not break laws all
the time if their was no
punishment for it.
SOULSBY
Well I can tell you now we are
living in a Godless universe and
are conscience is stopping us from
doing wrong. Not just being scared
that we will get a telling off in
the after life.
NIALL
Yer like you have a conscience.
HUGH
Yer and I was gonna say boy did
you pick the wrong school.
FADE TO:
INT. MAIN HALL – MORNING (10.00 AM)
All the pupils are filtering their way into the hall
FAIRLY and SOULSBY are at the back waiting to get in.
FAIRLY
Well this is gonna be fun.
SOULSBY
Yer who ever said war was hell had
obviously never been to this
school for R.E.
FARILY
Yer... no actually I think war
would be a little worse.
SOULSBY
Actually thinking about it your
probably right.
MUBARAK
Oh come on guys R. E's not that
bad. Better than Science
MUBARAK pushes through the crowd.
SOULSBY
Poor. Poor deluded believer.
FAIRLY and SOULSBY push through and take their seats

in the MAIN HALL next to BEN and MARK.
STILL SHOT of the MAIN HALL full of pupil with MR.

COLLINS at the front.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
Can I first say at this point that
the views expressed in this movie
do not necessary reflect the
persons real feeling towards God
and religion. So stop moaning.
What you don't think I cant hear
you out their sighing at a movie
where a man share his his beliefs.
I mean a man not necessary sharing
his beliefs. I mean okay you got
me I'm an atheist therefore don't
believe in god but that's not the
point the point is its just a
movie so relax... and always
remember the main thing to take
away from this experience is that
there is no god.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Wow, wow, wow what he meant to say
was the main thing to take away
from this movie is its just a bit
of fun and is not to be taken
seriously.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
I had it covered.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Yer good thing I trusted you and
let you do the warning... cause
you got that spot on... didn't
mess it up at all... Anyway. Ah
religious education the corner
stone of all catholic schools...
The one major thing that separates
most schools to catholic school,
besides the far superior pass
rates, is R.E... Its not that you
cant take R.E in other schools its
that its compulsory here. So
what's R.E like in St. Cuthbert's,
well theirs a lot of philosophical
debates and pondering over some of
life's big questions... so... its
bloody awful.
Anyway today the head of R.E MR.

COLLINS called an assembly to try
and rally faith in god this is how
it went.
TITLE: RELIGIOUS EDUCATION – 10:00 AM
The shot plays.
MR. COLLINS
So. The R.E staff have called this
assembly today, to get you all, to
ponder over morality, good and
evil and what God has to do with
it all.
MR. COLLINS points to the big screen behind him where

there is a picture of a dying boy with a vulture
behind him.
MR. COLLINS
This is a picture by a award
winning photographer called Kevin
Carter. Now the article that comes
along with this picture says
although the starving child was
only a few minutes away from a
feeding centre he just took the
picture and left without helping
her. Why would he do this.
Long Pause.
BEN raises his hand.
BEN
Maybe he didn't have any arms.
The crowd laugh.
MR. COLLINS
No he had both his arms.
BEN puts his hand up again.
MR. COLLINS
And before you ask you ask he has
all his limbs arms, legs,
everything. In-fact he has extra
ones. Not literally but I'm trying
to prove a point it has nothing to
do with his physical attributes.
So why did he leave the dying
child.
MUBARAK raises his hand.

MUBARAK
Well sir maybe its just he felt
that... He shouldn't mess around
with nature and it wasn't his
place to decide if this child
lives or dies.
MR. COLLINS
Yes but this girl could have had a
family. Would this man really bare
this on his conscience and let her
die just to leave it up to nature.
MUBARAK
Oh.
MR. COLLINS
I'm not saying your wrong I'm just
trying to get your to question the
morality of the situation.
MARK raises his hand.
MARK
Sir could be the nature thing
that... Mu-Mu-What he said over
there but he did look on it from
the girls point of view maybe he
felt that the vulture needed
dinner. Maybe he worried about the
vultures family.
MR. COLLINS
That's the most ridiculous thing
I've ever head...
TOM puts his hand up.
TOM
Yer but sir in MARK's defence that
vulture, lets call him Barry for
the sake of argument, Maybe he
thought and I agree that the Barry
looks really hungry.
Mutters from the crowd.
CROWD
It does look pritty hungry
MR. COLLINS
Your just being silly now.
ADAM puts his hand up.
ADAM
No sir maybe Barry was bringing
back food for his wife and kids.
MR. COLLINS
Yes but think about the Child.
BEN
Think about Barry!
MARK
Yer we love you Barry!
Crowd Chants.
CROWD
Barry, Barry, Barry!
MR. COLLINS
Can we stop talking about Barry-I
mean the bird for two seconds...
Now what else could it be.
SOULSBY puts his hand up.
SOULSBY
Well maybe this guy wanted to get
this picture straight home so he
could cash some checks.
MR. COLLINS
Well do you really think this man
is that evil.
MILLER
Did you hear that sir said this
man is evil.
MARK
See this is exactly why we love
Barry he would never do anything
like this.
MR. COLLINS
Another question to ask is why
would a good God allow this evil
and suffering to take place.
SOULSBY
Well sir maybe God is evil and he
likes watching that sort of stuff.
MR. COLLINS
That's ridiculous definition God
is good.
SOULSBY
Then why would God let this evil
take place.
MR. COLLINS
Good question. Well some would
argue God gave us free will and
we, as a people, created the set
of circumstance which led to this
evil to occur.
MARK
He makes a good point but I don't
know this... God guys starting to
sound pritty suspicious if you ask
me.
TOM
Yer I don't like the sound of this
guy.
MR. COLLINS
Ok I think we should move on.
MR. COLLINS clicks to the next picture. Its of a

flooded village in Africa.
SOULSBY
What is this picture. We want
Barry!
MR. COLLINS
Well Barry is gone now so this is
what you get.
BEN
Well sir its a nice picture don't
get me wrong but... it just
doesn't have the warmth and cheeky
smile that Barry brings to the
table.
TOM
Ah I miss Barry.
MR. COLLINS sighs.
MR. COLLINS
So the point I'm trying to make
with this picture is. This isn't a
man made set of circumstance this
Is a natural event of a flood...
which is causing pain and
suffering. So the question is why
would God let this act of natural
evil occur.
MR. COLLINS (CONT'D)

No. before you ask God isn't evil
SOULSBY.
SOULSBY puts his hand down.
SOULSBY
I mean he says that but this God
fella is starting to sound a
little sick in the head.
TOM
I know I'm not happy with him for
one.
MUBARAK puts his hand up.
MUBARAK
Well sir Maybe God knew in the
long run that this flood would
help the majority of people.
MR. COLLINS
Good point.
ADAM
Yes sir but that doesn't take away
that to do good God is doing
evil... Therefore God is evil.
MR. COLLINS
There is no evil God.
ADAM
Well show me were I'm wrong.
MR. COLLINS
Well...
DAN
And to further prove ADAM's point
God created everything right?
MR. COLLINS
Right.
DAN
And everything comes from God
right?
MR. COLLINS
Right.
DAN
Therefore God created evil so
hence God is evil.
MR. COLLINS
Well... Yer... But... This
assembly is over.
All the pupils start making their way out of

the hall.
SOULSBY walks over and shakes DAN's hand.
SOULSBY
You really clamped the teachers
there like.
DAN
Well I do try.
SOULSBY
So I heard your cat died man
that's tough.
DAN
No She didn't die she was just ill
for a bit... She's ok now though.
SOULSBY
It's alive?
DAN
Yer.
SOULSBY
It's alive?
DAN
Yes.
SOULSBY goes hysterical
SOULSBY
It's alive It's alive It's alive
SOULSBY turns to the middle distance of the camera's

perspective.
SOULSBY (CONT'D)
IT'S ALIVE!
Long pause.
DAN
I'm gonna go.
SOULSBY
see ya.

All this God bashing has made me
hungry. What's on the menu today

SOULSBY snatches the diary of CARL.
SOULSBY

SOULSBY

pedantic.
CARL

SOULSBY

CARL

SOULSBY
Its geography and we've got a test.
CARL
Oh... I forgot all about it... Did

SOULSBY

CARL

Sounds fishy to me.
SOULSBY

The class is sat down and MR. KHACHIKIAN is standing

of front of the class holding a text book.
NARRATOR
French. Do I have to say any
more... They teach you too little
to speak fluently... So in France
you cant try to speak French
without looking like an idiot or
worse that your patronizing them
and to much that you cant just
forget it when your class is
over... So all and all I would say
French is quite bon... oh sorry

that means good in French doesn't
it? I meant to say that's French
is abismal, terrible to be
perfectly honest its hellish.
NARRATOR 2
Good introduction Mr. professional.
NARRATOR
Oh sorry your right I need an
introduction don't I....

What'd you get?
SOULSBY
(whispering)
I'm not looking in protest of how
little I care about this subject.
MR. KHACHIKIAN
So all those people who will have
to retest are Michael Marks with a
D, Martin MacDonald with a D,
Conner Anderson with a E and
ANDREW SOULSBY with a U.
SOULSBY laughs.
MR. KHACHIKIAN
I don't find your failure
particularly amusing Mr.
SOULSBY... maybe you can enlighten
me on what you find so comical.
SOULSBY
Oh its not that I necessarily
think its funny its just... I
don't care.
MR. KHACHIKIAN
You don't care? Why don't you care?
SOULSBY
Well... its just... when I'm I
ever gonna need this.
MR. KHACHIKIAN
French can come in handy for many
things I'll have you know.
SOULSBY
Well I'm never planning on going
to France and I'm definite I'll
never move their so... How is it
useful.
MR. KHACHIKIAN
Well what if...
SOULSBY
No I wont be becoming friends with
any Frenchmen any time soon
either.
MR. KHACHIKIAN
Well tell me... What would do you
want to be when your older.
SOULSBY
A translator... In particular for
French business men... sure I'd
have to move to France but maybe

after I've worked with them after
a long amount of time we would
become friends... But what has
that got to do with anything... Oh
wait you got me. Yes sorry French
has a bountiful fountain of uses
and you defiantly haven't wasted
years of your life studying a
pointless subject.
MR. KHACHIKIAN looks proud as he doesn't get the

sarcasm.
MR. KHACHIKIAN
Well... now that's cleared up lets
get on with the point of this
lesson.
BEN
(Whispering)
Are you really not bothered about
that test? Not even a little bit?
SOULSBY
(whispering)
Actually I'm really annoyed about
this result... I just didn't want
sir to know know.
BEN
(Whispering)
Oh don't worry its just a silly
test.
SOULSBY
(Whispering)
You don't understand. I coulda had
class. I coulda been a contender.
I coulda been somebody, instead of
a bum, which is what I am.

sarcasm and take that as a
complement.

You shouldn't.
KID 2 starts looking under desks for his bag.
SOULSBY
What Cecil are you gonna ignore me?
KID 2
What? Are you speaking to me? My
name isn't Cecil.
SOULSBY
Oh you. Sorry Ben this is Cecil we
always joke like this.

Seriously Cecil isn't my name.
SOULSBY
No? I must have got you mixed up
with someone else... Gerard?
KID 2
Not my name.
SOULSBY

KID 2
That's a girls name.
SOULSBY
Sorry something about your face
must have through me... Indy?
KID 2
That's not even a name.
SOULSBY
Oh... Sorry. Unless your... Oh no.
Where you a bible camp last year?
Oh yes it is you. You made a pass
at me I told you I didn't swing
that way. Oh this must be so
embarrassing for you.

No. NO. NO! That wasn't me... I
just wanted my bag...
KID 2 runs out.
BEN
A little harsh.
SOULSBY
A little fun... so potato-potato.
BEN shakes his head in disapproval.
MR. KHACHIKIAN
Right... Back to the lesson.
MR. LORD enters.
MR. LORD
Sorry to interrupts your lesson
sir... Can I borrow ANDREW SOULSBY.
MR. KHACHIKIAN
You can keep him.
SOULSBY gets up and walks out.
INT. OUTSIDE FRENCH ROOM – AFTERNOON (1.07 PM)

SOULSBY
Break it to me gently sir... what
have I done?
MR. LORD
What? Oh no you haven't done
anything wrong... although its a
first.
SOULSBY
Aw... Cause I was really looking
forward to my first meeting with
the new deputy head.
MR. LORD
Careful I can make that happen.
SOULSBY
Sir so what is it.
MR. LORD
Well... I need that fiver.
SOULSBY
Really that's such a quintessence
because I need a weekend in
France. Mainly just to contradict
myself on what I was talking about
with MR. KHACHIKIAN but that's not
the point... What for anyway.
MR. LORD
Well me and some of the staff had
a little bet on... You see I bet
five pounds the school wouldn't
allow you to make that movie here
you've been planning... But they
have so. Fork it up.
SOULSBY
Really they said yes. That's great
and can have everything arranged
by Friday. Oh and that way of
telling me... Good one.
MR. LORD
No I'm really gonna need that
fiver.
SOULSBY laughs but MR. LORD stays serious.

SOULSBY
Well sir if you go and find CARL
GIBSON that's C-A-R-L G-I-B-S-O-N
he owes me a fiver so you can get
it off him.
MR. LORD
Oh and before I forget... why were
you not in school on Friday?
SOULSBY
I'm going to be honest with you
sir. I hate this place, this zoo,
this prison, this school, whatever
you want to call it. I can't stand
it any longer. It's the smell. I
feel.. saturated by it. I can
taste it's stink. And every time I
do I feel I have somehow been
infected by it, it's repulsive. I
had to get out of here. Even if it
was just for one day. So I stayed
of had a long weekend. I feel much
better now though.
TITLE: Movie quote 15 (The matrix)
MR. LORD
Wow really... its sounds like
you've got so major issues to work
through...
SOULSBY
Na... I'm just kidding I was ill
and my mam forgot to ring in.
Long pause.
MR. LORD
Right. Congratulations by the
way... You've worked hard to get
the chance. Now get back to lesson

BEN
(Whispering)

SOULSBY

SOULSBY
(Whispering)

SOULSBY stands up the text book and mimes covering up

a dictionary and starts pretending to point out words
and laughing.
MR. KHACHIKIAN looks suspicious then storms over and

picks up the vertical text book and looks for the
dictionary. When he notices their isn't one. He looks
embarrassed and walks away.
SOULSBY turns to BEN and giggles.
BEN

BEN
(whispering)
Touché.
Long pause.
MR. KHACHIKIAN

SOULSBY turns to BEN.
SOULSBY
(Whispering)

blokes sitting n a pub, one says

MR. KHACHIKIAN
Yes ANDREW.
SOULSBY
Sir did you get anything good for
Christmas?
MR. KHACHIKIAN
Em... No Santa Clause doesn't have
my address.
SOULSBY
But Santa has everyone's address.
MR. KHACHIKIAN
You do no Santa isn't real right?
SOULSBY
Wow we're talking about Santa here
not fictional things like
evolution or global warming...
This is father Christmas.
MR. KHACHIKIAN looks confused.
MR. KHACHIKIAN
No I didn't get anything good for
Christmas.
SOULSBY
You must have been bad... Good
look next time sir.
BEN puts up his hand.
MR. KHACHIKIAN
Yes BEN.
BEN
What's your favourite shade of
blue?
MR. KHACHIKIAN
I don't have one.
BEN
Oh sorry stupid question I meant
to say... What's your favourite
kind of tie knot Windsor or half
Windsor?
MR. KHACHIKIAN
Again I don't have one.
BEN
Seriously? Oh its ok sir
everyone's different... be honest
is It the Cross knot... I knot so
hard to achieve the the devil
himself claimed it and now only
the most evil of men can do it
without bursting in to flames.
MR. KHACHIKIAN
I think we're going off topic.
SOULSBY
Well sir what's your favourite
movie?
MR. KHACHIKIAN
Oh its hard to say. I like the
classics. Paths of glory, Shane, A
touch of Evil, oh and gone with
the wind.
SOULSBY
Well frankly sir I just don't give
a damn.
TITLE: Movie quote 16 (Gone with the wind)
MR. KHACHIKIAN
Right to get back to the work...
BEN
Sir what are your thoughts on the
UK's current Political structure?
SOULSBY
Or what's your thoughts on
steroids in professional sports?
BEN
Where are you from originally sir?
Switzerland? You look swizz.
SOULSBY
What about cars? Are you
interested in cars?
MR. KHACHIKIAN
Right that's it no more
questions!!!
Long pause.
JACK puts his hand up.
MR. KHACHIKIAN
I said no more question?
JACK
Oh sorry sir. I'm stuck is all.
MR. KHACHIKIAN
Oh I'm sorry I'll be right over.
CUT TO:
Everybody is leaving the classrooms and THIRWELL

THIRWELL
So. I talked to MARK.
SOULSBY

SOULSBY looks nervous.
SOULSBY
So... w-w-what did they say.
THIRWELL
They didn't tell me anything

supposed to talk about it.
SOULSBY gives a sigh of relief.
THIRWELL (CONT'D)
What the hell happened that night.
SOULSBY
Look.
THIRWELL
No you look. How long have we been
friends now. Listen you can trust
me... What happened
Long pause.
SOULSBY
Right. You know when I said we'd
been playing poker... Well we
didn't. We went camping... We
where out their having fun and we
decided to go swimming in a creak.
THIRWELL looks suspicious.

SOULSBY (CONT'D)
Well we where all diving down
and... that's when we saw it.
THIRWELL
Saw what?
SOULSBY
We should never have went camping
it was a bad idea.
THIRWELL
What did you see?
SOULSBY
We swore we would never tell.
THIRWELL
You can trust me.
SOULSBY
Well I was diving down under the
water and I felt something brush
against my leg.
THIRWELL

SOULSBY
We decided to dive down and pry it
up.
THIRWELL

body at the bottom of the creek
SOULSBY breaks down. There is a close up at THIRWELL

poker and...
FLASHBACK:

SOULSBY is sitting at the poker table.

BEN

TOM
Actually before we play... Did you
break up with KATE yet?
SOULSBY
Yer.
MARK
How'd she take it?
SOULSBY
Good... It was over the phone so...
TOM
What happened?
SOULSBY
Well it went like this.
FLASHBACK:
SOULSBY is talking into a phone in his room.

SOULSBY
(Into phone)
Look last night we said a great
many things. You said I was to do
the thinking for both of us. Well,
I've done a lot of it since then,
and it all adds up to one thing:
you're getting on that bus with
Victor where you belong.
SOULSBY pauses while the other persons speaks
SOULSBY
(Into phone)
Now, you've got to listen to me!
You have any idea what you'd have
to look forward to if you stayed
here? Nine chances out of ten,
we'd both wind up Grounded. Isn't
that true.
SOULSBY
No I'm saying it because it's
true. Inside of us, we both know
you belong with Victor. You're
part of his work, the thing that
keeps him going. If that bus
leaves the ground and you're not
with him, you'll regret it. Maybe
not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but
soon and for the rest of your
life... We'll always have The
Gate.
SOULSBY
I know I said I'd never leave you
and you never will. But I've got a
job to do, too. Where I'm going,
you can't follow. What I've got to
do, you can't be any part of.
Kate, I'm no good at being noble,
but it doesn't take much to see
that the problems of three little
people don't amount to a hill of
beans in this crazy world. Someday
you'll understand that. Now,
now... Here's looking at you kid.
TITLE: Movie quote 17 (Casablanca)

MARK

SOULSBY goes to leave the room but walks back in.

SOULSBY
What I stole twenty quid off my
mam last night. Its the first time
I ever stole.
THIRWELL
I'm not saying its not bad... Its
just... actually that's terrible
stealing off your own mother.
SOULSBY
I know.
THIRWELL
Actually don't talk to me for the
rest of the day... I just cant

CUT TO:
EXT. GAMES FIELD – AFTERNOON (2.55)
Still shot of a teacher standing in-front of Three

lines.
NARRATOR (V.O)
So the last lesson of the day,
everyone's tired and itching to
get home, So naturally of course
P.E is scheduled. Now From what
you have been able to see from our
humble protagonist is... well, to
put it in nice terms... he's not
the most sporty of people
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
He's a lard ball.
NARRATOR (V.O)
You don't really get nice terms do
you?
NARRATOR (V.O)
No I get them... I just don't care
about protecting peoples feelings.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Does that sit well on your
conscience.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
What's a conscience?
NARRATOR (V.O)
wow...In this lesson the pupils
have to pick to join one of three
groups. The first group is
recreational... sports like table
tennis and golf are on this course
so should seem tailor made for
“not very sporty people” Like

SOULSBY. The second group is
performance, a group for people
who just like a kick about nothing
to difficult... Sports like
Football, Rugby and tennis are on
this course. Finally there is
leadership. No one at this point
knows what leadership is all
about. We join are protagonist
when everyone is picking between
the three groups. SOULSBY counting
on picking recreational and
sitting back compatibly.
NARRATOR 2 (V.O)
there's a surprise.
NARRATOR sighs.
TITLE: P.E – 2:55 PM
MR. TURNER
Right one more person needs to
switch groups to leadership.
Long pause.
MR. TURNER (CONT'D)

We can be here all day if that's
how long it takes.
Long pause. MR. TURNER starts walking up and down the

three lines
MR. TURNER (CON'T)

Nobody huh?... Nobody wants to
bite the bullet... Fine... Why
don't we consider this over a call
back then?... Still nobody's
saying a word... well maybe a call
back isn't enough. How about I go
get the head of year and see what
she has to say about it... I'm
sure she'll see everyone in here
on detentions for a mouth for not
co-operating... Or of course I
could just scrap the groups and
have you all running laps for the
rest of the year. How do you all
feel about that.
SOULSBY
I'm gonna do it.
TOM
Don't do it man.
SOULSBY
Somebody has to.
SOULSBY stands up.
TOM
Yer we'll let someone else do it.
SOULSBY
Either I do it or we all suffer.
No. Don't be a hero.
SOULSBY
I'M SPARTACUS
TITLE: Movie quote 19 (Spartacus)
MR. TURNER
Ah. Are hero boys. Now everyone go
get changed except the Leadership
lads. I need to explain the
course... Now lads I know a lot of
people are put off by the homework
on this course...
SOULSBY jar drops.
MR. TURNER (CONT'D)

and yes you will have to teach a
class of year sixes before the
course is over and yes its a
little embarrassing. Especially
for some of you who probably cant
out run most of them...
MR. TURNER looks at SOULSBY.
MR TURNER (CONT'D)
but its not that bad. I'm sure
we're gonna have fun.
MR. TURNER gives a hint of a laugh still looking at

SOULSBY.
SOULSBY stands up.

SOULSBY
I'm not Spartacus.
SOULSBY walks off.
MR. TURNER
What?
SOULSBY
You know before When I said I was
Spartacus... well after seeing
what's on this course I'm really
not.
MR. TURNER
Come back.
SOULSBY
Why sir loads of people switched
courses back and fourth.
MR. TURNER
Well you can't.
SOULSBY
Why?
MR. TURNER
I don't need to explain myself to
you. Now sit down before I give
you a call back.
SOULSBY
Sir you can't stop me. I'm leaving.
MR. TURNER
Do you want a call back?
SOULSBY
GO A HEAD, MAKE MY DAY.
TITLE: Movie quote 20 (Sudden impact)
MR. TURNER

HUGH and LOUIS run on and SOULSBY quickly sits down.

MR. TURNER walks in and looks around suspicious.
SOULSBY
Hi sir.
MR. TURNER walks up to SOULSBY who is sat on a bench

and MR. TURNER is now right in his face shouting.
MR. TURNER
How dare you talk to me like that
didn't your mum or dad teach you
any manors.
SOULSBY
Well my dad said be an actor my
son... but be a comical one.
SOULSBY starts dancing.
SOULSBY (SINGING)
They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky tonk
monkeyshines. Now you could study
Shakespeare and be quite elite
And you can charm the critics and
have nothing' to eat Just slip on
a banana peel The world's at your
feet Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh.
TITLE: Movie quote 22 (Singing in the rain)
SOULSBY stops dancing and starts laughing until he

realises MR. TURNER isn't.
SOULSBY (CONT'D)
Sorry sir wildly inappropriate...
its from singing in the rain? Oh
right sorry ...serious.
MR. TURNER
You want to know why you can't
switch groups?
SOULSBY
Yes please.
MR. TURNER
You miss lessons, forge notes,
fake injury's and forget kits
every week you can to avoid P.E.
SOULSBY
What's that got to do with
anything.
MR. TURNER
Well you have shown time and time
again you don't deserve the right
to switch groups...
SOULSBY
Yes but I'm a great
conversationalist for example what
are your thoughts on Orson Welles
citizen Kane... Sure its one of
the best movie of all time but
that doesn't make it any less
boring.
MR. TURNER
What? I've never seen it. Always
wanted to though... oh what does
this have to do with anything
SOULSBY
Oh I'm sorry did I bring up
something irrelevant... sort of
like you did just did before... oh
well.
MR. TURNER
How dare you talk to me like that
now. get out of my sight now.
SOULSBY
Bye sir. Oh and before I leave can
I just say... ROSEBUD was Citizen
Kane's child hood sledge... Oh no
I just ruined the end of the movie
for you.
TITLE: Movie quote 23 (Citizen Kane)
SOULSBY walks leaves with a cheeky smile.
MR. TURNER sighs.
MR. TURNER
I hate that kid.
MR PEFFER pops his head through the staff changing

room door.
MR. PEFFER
Good singer though.
EXT. SCHOOL EXIT – AFTERNOON (3.07)
SOULSBY strolls on with a skip in his step out of the

school gates and with a smile.
SOULSBY (SINGING)
Make 'em laugh...Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to
laugh My grandpa said go out and
tell 'em a joke But give it plenty
of hoke. Make 'em roar Make 'em
scream Take a fall But a wall
Split a seam You start off by
pretending You're a dancer with
grace You wiggle 'till they're
Giggling all over the place And
then you get a great big custard
pie in the face Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh Make 'em laugh.
