Rocks (2019) - full transcript

Shola (Bukky Bakray), or Rocks, as she's known, lives in a London council flat with her younger brother Emmanuel (D'angelou Osei Kissiedu) and their single mother. Mum is busy and stressed, leaving Rocks to spend all her free time with school friends. One day, she comes home to find her life radically altered: she is suddenly on her own with a child to take care of. Gavron could easily have steered Rocks into miserabilism, but delivers instead a surprising portrait of resilience. Rocks is mercurial, impulsive, and deeply sensitive - not unusual for her age, she sometimes makes desperately poor decisions, for what look to her like good reasons. When her closest friend Sumaya (Kosar Ali) tries to help, Rocks doesn't know how to accept it, blinded by Sumaya's two-parent household and relative comfort.

Give us us day our daily bread

Okay, so today,

we're going to be talking about
your career paths.

It's a very important year for you

cause you're gonna be taking
your options this year.

Alright, so has anybody thought about
what they might want to do in the future?

Journalist, fantastic. Well done.

Anybody else? Got any ideas?

A relationship therapist?

Shut up!

Rocks, Sumaya, listen.

Kadijah, tell me, what do you want to do?

I wanna be a lawyer.

- A lawyer?
- Yeah.

And you know you need to have
very high levels to be a lawyer?

She does have high levels though.

- Well...
- Rocks...

- What you trying to say?
- Your levels aren't as high

as they might need to be
if you want to be a lawyer.

It's always a good idea
to have a backup plan.

- A plan B.
- You don't need no backup.

Rocks, what's P Diddy, 50 Cent?
What's that about?

I wanna be like P Diddy and 50 Cent.

Yeah, I wanna make a mil before I'm 30.

You've got to think about, specifically
what type of career?

- The entertainment industry.
- A business.

Business. Now you're getting there.

- What type of business?
- Make-up.

Make-up? Like Rihanna?

I got you guys.

And look how much followers she has as well.

Oh, wow. Are these all your clients, Rocks?

She gets paid to do their make-up.

I'm impressed.

Hey, £2 if you want Rocks to do your brows.

Girl, you're gonna have to pay.

- Wait, wait, wait...
- 50p?

Baby girl, you can't move.

Oh, she got Hubba Bubba still.

Hubba Bubba!

Put your pesky hands back, fam,
and pay the money if you want it!

Hey, Sasha, what's your body count?

She was doing...

Girls, come on now. Quickly.

You can do it, man, come on.

What is this?

You know it doesn't actually
take your virginity, right?

- It actually does.
- No, it doesn't cause it's not that long.

- It actually does.
- The thing's not that long.

Pull the white string.

Now take out that plastic white part.

There, you see?
That's gonna take your virginity, yeah?

- Trust me, yeah.
- Just put it in!

Okay, then move, move.

I think maybe there's eight dinosaurs.

Eight?

- Yeah.
- How many?

Sorry.

Can you count to ten?

No, I can count even more than that.

A hundred.

- One hundred?
- Yeah.

Count to 100 then.

One, two...

I'll do the rest tomorrow.

Tomorrow? Okay, cool.

Guess what? It's my birthday coming up.

Mummy will get you something special.

And, um, I'm buying my own thing.

- You're buying your own thing?
- Yeah.

Well...

I cannot trust Mummy.

Emmanuel.

Yes?

And make sure you change
before Mum comes back.

Eman, come, let's go.

But I don't wanna go.

Okay, but I'm not asking you, I'm telling you.

Can you come with me, please?

Sorry, but no.

Hello, Grandma.

I'm good, how are you?

Emmanuel's fine.

Are you still ill, Grandma?

Um, Grandma...

I was just wondering, um,
have you heard from Mum?

She's just busy.

But she can.

I don't understand, what you're trying to say.

Not every woman is cut out for motherhood.

Well, I think Mum's doing a great job,
to be honest.

Alright, Grandma, I need to go.
The money on the card's nearly finished.

Okay, dear, well, tell your mother to call me.

Yeah, I will, I will.

For all she knows, I'm lying in the gutter.

Alright. Bye, Grandma, bye.

But Mama, I want to do it tonight.

I'm sad. Go and brush it.

And by the way, I'm dead.

Now, go and brush it now!

I said now.

Rocks, why is your house such a mess?

It's not.

What are you, a vampire?

Cut it.

- Cut it, it's too early.
- Cut it.

bro, look how dark it is in here, Rocks!

So, why are you not dressed?

- I've gotta look after Emmanuel.
- We can bring him, I'll look after him.

- He's not coming.
- Why not?

- Because he's not coming.
- Why not?

Because I'm not.

Mashallah.

Mashallah, lead the way.

You're such an idiot. I went mosque with this.

Air Forces is a perfect touch.

Shut up, man. Go get changed.

- Cool, cool, cool, bro.
- Get Emmanuel ready.

What are you doing? You're so weird.

- Come on, man.
- Not gonna lie

- my back is burning, man.
- Hey, Emmanuel!

Look at him!

- It fizzes.
- Watch when it pops in your mouth.

Look at his reaction.

- Is it gonna hurt?
- No.

I don't like it! Ah!

Swallow it so it finishes.

Finish it, swallow it.

Yeah, there, it's gone. Okay?

Welcome to the future.

Rocks, can you do my eyebrows?

Or like, or just do my make-up?

Sorry, Agnes. I don't really have stuff
for your colour,

cause I never get white clients.

I was on the bus, yeah, and some guy was

bare looking at me, like...

I was fixing my scarf
and some guy was looking at me

like he was gonna say something...

Sis, the TV's not working.

- Let me see.
- Come and see.

Try turning it on with the remote.

I did it, it's not working.

Damn.

Everything is not working in this home.

Ugh...

Yeah, the electricity's finished.

Aww...

Have you seen the brown envelope I had?

Er, no.

I can't even remember taking it out.

There's nothing under here.

Only breadcrumbs.

It's just... it's just me and you.

Hyah! Hyah!

Turn on! Turn on, turn on!

How to get rich...

Maybe I could do a charity run?

A sponsored walk?

Oh, just shut up and look for the money.

- No.
- Just look for it.

No. Never.

Playing with your stupid toys.

Hmm.

Matchamai, Matchamai.

Matchamai.

Hi, it's Funke.

I'm not here right now
so if you'd like to leave a message...

Okay, welcome back, everybody.
I hope you enjoyed...

Quieten down, please.

We'll just check that you're on the ball.

We'll do the easy one
where I write the equation out for you.

Does anybody want to impress me?

We'll skip all...

Okay, somebody's phone. So, I can hear it.

Hello, who's this?

- Hello?
- Is that you, Shola?

- Hello?
- Hello?

- No, she isn't, sir.
- Who's this?

- Agnes, I'm not talking to you.
- Wait, I can't hear you.

Shola, could you get off your phone, please?

- Is that Mrs. Omotoso?
- Is this about my mum?

Excuse me. Excuse me,
could you get off your phone, please?

Look, sorry, I can't hear you.
Can you speak louder, please?

You are stopping the whole learning process.

- This is a top-set maths class.
- I'd like to ask you some questions.

- You're disturbing the lesson.
- What questions?

If you don't give me your phone
I'm gonna have to put you in isolation.

Your phone number's been chosen
to be included in a study.

I asked her three times.
I'm gonna have to send you out.

- I thought...
- I turned it off, man.

- It's off.
- I don't care. You're going.

Miss Judge? Yeah, could you come
and get Shola, please?

It's not that deep, sir.

It's nothing to do with you, Agnes.

If you wanna join her in isolation

- I suggest...
- Where's the C1, C2, C3, C4?

You want me to take
that perfect badge off you?

- No, I haven't done anything...
- You're perfect.

You're just on your period, sir.
That's why you're angry.

D'you know what, that's offensive

- whether you're talking to anybody.
- How is that offensive?

The fact that you're talking
to a male teacher...

- Let me see yours.
- It's not that bad.

Remember the girl from Nottingham?

The new girl? She speaks bare weird.

- You know she says "bum" for nice.
- She says "bruh."

- She says bum?
- Like bum, for nice.

I heard she got kicked out of her last school.

So, why didn't you reply
to my text on Sunday?

I had a mad headache.

What's happening with the wedding?

Nothing much. Just bare people in the house.

See? Sumaya said it's perfect.

That's why she's the malawah.

- Queen.
- Fam, didn't even knock!

- No respect.
- Roshe, you're late.

- My bad.
- Add some milk.

Right. Come on, put this on, and join a group.

Come on.

You have to sieve it.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Let me, let me...

So, can you make malawah?

I don't know what that is.

Wrong answer.

She's so stupid...

Hey, Roshe.

Is your name Rosh, Roshi?

- Um, yeah, Roshe.
- Roshe, Roshe.

Yeah, in that cupboard there,
there should be chocolate.

Just help me make chocolate sauce.

- You need help.
- Why would I need her help?

- She's annoying.
- Why is she even here?

- D'you know what I mean?
- Whoops.

Oh!

- Miss, she done that on purpose!
- Who do you think you talking to?

Stop! What are you doing? Sit down!

Stop! Roshe.

Whoa, whoa!

What's going on?

Girls!

Sit down! Shola, put it down.

Roshe, over here. Roshe. Shola!

- Waste girl!
- Shola! Sit down.

- Stupid bitch!
- What is going on?

Oh, my God.

For goodness sake.

Roshe!

Keep your voices down, please

Come on, girls.

Um, can I borrow your lip-gloss?

- Um, I have seen it on Insta.

bro, what you doing?

So why do you have a frog?

cause I'm looking after it.

Does everyone get to take the frog?

Of course everyone does

cause otherwise it wouldn't be a class pet.

It'd be more like a pet.

- Just a pet.
- What's the frog's name?

Tiny. cause he's a tiny little frog.

That's why the class named him Tiny.

Are those people outside our door?

Yeah.

- Just wait here.

I'm gonna get my phone for you
so you can play.

I... wait!

...if something does happen
then there'll be a problem.

You did the right thing by calling us.

Yeah, definitely, if you're worried.

I know the mum.
She gets very down sometimes.

I mean, don't get me wrong
she's a lovely mum when she's on form

but I haven't seen her for a little while

and I am getting a bit worried for the kids.

If Mum doesn't come then maybe
we're gonna have to follow up.

Ribbit.

Ribbit.

Ribbit.

Ribbit.

...wait till they get back from school.

You've been here before, haven't you?

Yeah, I've, er...

It's not really a big deal. Just Leicester.

It kinda is because I've been living
with her for like most of my life.

- So, it's a bit...
- It's like two trains to Leicester.

And so's my brother.
He's leaving as well. It's bare.

He's only going Tottenham.

Listen, Rocks. Um...

I think you should tell someone
about your mum.

I don't think so.

It's just you and Emmanuel in the house,
it's not safe.

I've been doing just fine.

bro.

I don't need you.

Not like that, like I just don't...

I don't need you to worry for me.

I don't need it.

- I'm just here for Toni...
- Go then.

- I said I'm here for tonight.
- Then why are you here?

- Go. Leave Emmanuel then, go.
- Are you listening?

bro, I think that durag
is doing something to your ears.

Are you even listening to what I'm saying?

I said I'm here for tonight and when...

- Then go, you don't need me.
- Tomorrow morning,

- I'll be...
- Okay, leave Emmanuel and go.

cause you've been doing this
for the whole time, Rocks.

I'm always here for you,
you always have barriers up

like, what's the problem?
Talk to me. I don't get it.

Like, you wouldn't understand.

Which is why I'm trying to understand
and help you.

bro, you, you have everything.

You have your mum, your dad,
your nice house. Like...

That's got nothing to do with the situation.

It has everything to do with it.
You don't understand...

- I'm trying to help you.
- Let me speak!

Is it not my situation? Can I speak?

- Let me guess, I live a perfect life!
- You live a perfect life.

You have a mum, your dad,
brothers and sisters.

- You don't know what hurt is.
- I tried bringing you into my life.

Shut up and let me speak!

You live a perfect life but you're here

"Oh, Leicester. Tottenham." Who gives a fuck?

Don't swear in my house.

We'll see when you have no one left. We'll see.

bro, I have no one. So you think you...

leaving me is gonna affect me
in any kind of way? It doesn't.

So don't feel like you have any gain in my life.

Don't feel like you...
don't feel like you do nothin'.

cause you do nothing.

I've lost everyone. I have no mum.

- I have no dad...
- Listen!

...so you leaving me doesn't mean anything.

- So, shut up!
- Then why are you in my house?

Wow.

So cool.

Have a good day at school, Emmanuel.

Shit.

Emmanuel, come on, let's go.

You know that we've been looking
at Pablo Picasso.

We know that we've been looking at Cubism.

I want you to think about
how he recreates the portraits

and replaces the facial features in his portraits.

While you're working today,
I want you to talk to each other

about what is it that people do
to make judgments about you.

What is it people see when they look at you?

Oh, wow. Why have you done it
in a box like that?

I feel like you guys have an identity, right.

Like, if we talk about like
culture and stuff, because...

I feel like being English is just boring.

cause we're living in this country
and we know about that

if you went to Bangladesh
they would think, "Wow!

She's English." Like...

Like, "What type of tea
does she drink and stuff like..."

You know what I mean?

Sabina didn't you find out
about your grandparents?

Yeah, yeah. In, um, Auschwitz.

Wait, so your great grand... your grandparents

- were in Auschwitz?
- Yeah, yeah.

My great grandad survived the war.

- We went to see...
- No way!

They had their own little,
like, block for like, gypsies.

How were they in Auschwitz then?

We don't have to be Jewish
to not be classified

as bad to Hitler, Agnes.

He wasn't what Hitler thought was perfect.

- Yeah.
- That guy needs to fix up.

Well, that's why he's dead.

I don't think I wanna do singing no more.

Like, I found my... I found my real passion.

- Which is?
- What is it?

Guys, are you seeing this work of art?

- You're taking the piss!
- I'm gonna be the new Picasso, like.

Are you... are y'all seeing this?

Okay, so I'm walking up to the school gates

just minding my own business.

- And then guess who I see.
- Who? Who?

Ferrero Roshe.

- New girl walks away with Rocks.
- Was she in uniform?

- I mean, were they both in uniform?
- Ferrero Roshe.

- No, I don't think so.
- Why's she bunking with her?

Sumaya, do you know?

This girl making too much trouble, guys.

Hi!

- No school?
- Erm, no, it's an inset day.

What's that?

It's, um, a teacher training day.

Okay. And who's this handsome chap?

His name's Emmanuel.

- My little brother.
- Ah.

Hey.

Go to the chair.

Look, I'll show you something.

She can do your feet.

Come sit down.

- How are you?
- Anna?

Oh, there's water.

- Yeah?
- This is Rocks, um...

Hello.

- She does make-up.
- What kind of make-up do you do?

Anything, like, a wedding, prom, birthdays.

That's good.

Maybe she can teach you something.

Yeah, could I do it in the shop?

Well...

I don't know. Sometimes customers ask...

I could start today, like right now.

Oh.

You are keen.

Leave your phone number.

I'll give you a ring if we need anybody.

- Oh.
- Okay?

You need to press that button again.

I've got a motive if you wanna go.

- What motive?
- You gotta leave Emmanuel here.

- Would your mum allow it?
- Yeah, watch this.

Anna...

Me and Rocks want to go to the library

but leave Emmanuel here?

- It's fine with me.
- Well, you're lucky.

Okay, don't be long.

- I left my number here.
- Alright then.

Are you okay?

- Yeah.
- What is this rubbish?

- Nail polish.
- Wow.

Yo, yo, do I hear that? Do... Do I hear...

No kids, yeah, is that it?

No children.

Aw!

♪ Come to the ends, yeah ♪

Why you called Rocks, then?

When me and Sumaya were younger,

girls were picking on her,
so then I backed Sumaya.

They started calling me Rocks
cause I was moving ruckus.

So where we going?

Er, we're gonna go meet
my cousin Mo and his friend.

- Who's his friend?
- Um, his name's Mohammed.

- Is Mohammed your boyfriend?
- What? Ew, no.

- So do you chill with Mo a lot?
- Yeah, I do.

He acts like he's from East
but he's from Wolverhampton.

Where's Wolverhampton?

He is a bit, d'you know what I mean, like...

You know when they've got that...

So, how come you needed a job in the salon?

Just to make some extra money, you know.

Make shmoney.

Yeah, just to make some
extra money, innit, so...

D'you want me to tell you a little secret?

D'you know how I sometimes work in the salon?

When the customers are paying,
I take pictures of their credit cards,

their debit cards, the receipts

and I just hand it over to Mo and Mohammed.

So you basically do fraud?

You wanna see the money I made
off the last one?

This is a receipt worth £2.

That's your business,
don't tell me. I didn't hear.

I don't wanna know.

Is that them now?

They take their time, bro.

- Hi.
- Ah, finally!

- Are you alright?
- Yeah, yeah.

Hey, yo, I'm Mo. Nice to meet you.

Shall we go somewhere nice today?

- Well, yeah, that's why we came.
- Somewhere certi.

You're gonna get so gassed, you're gonna...

Stop talking about it. Come, let's go.

By the time we get there,
you lot are gonna be snapchatting it

24s, man.

I am going that way.

If you don't wanna come stay here.

- What is wrong with you? No!
- Don't pull me, don't pull me.

Don't let anyone see you, I'll be quick.

Bye-bye!

Why are you wearing that headscarf?

Because I'm meant to be your mum.

Oh, so that's why you're wearing

Tell me, why?

Why did she go?

Just tell me, please.

Er, yeah, it's because of me, innit.

How about we let him free?

To be honest, I don't care about that frog.

How dare you say that?

Bye-bye, Froggie.

You'll always be my lovely little frog, frog, frog.

Hop, hop.

Aren't you gonna say bye?

- He's gone into the water.
- Bye-bye, Froggie.

It's too late now, so...

He's gone.

Hyah!

Miss Omotoso?

Rocks?

Rocks?

Sister?

- Yes?
- I'm hungry.

How can we...

When I've finished doing the lady's make-up

I'll buy you food. We'll be done in an hour.

If anyone asks you anything
about Mum, just... just be quiet.

Look at me.

Are you gonna speak when we get there?

We're getting off this stop.
Make sure you have everything.

Yep.

What?

Oh, fuck...

Why aren't we getting off?

- What on Earth is she doing here?
- Get off the bus!

Isn't that Roshe?

You stole my money! Just give it back!

- What's happening?
- I cannot believe this.

- What the hell? Nothing.
- What's happening?

Too tired. What's going on?

I want to see outside.

I want my money, it's not a joke!

Why is she shouting at you?

Why aren't we getting off?

Roshe tricked me.

Why?

Why did Roshe say you stole money?

Because, um...

I don't know.

Hi.

- Here's your bags.
- What are you doing?

I had to empty the room
and d'you wanna explain

what that school ID is to me?

Um, it's old.

I can see the date on it, it's not old.

Can I just stay one more night?

Do you understand, I could get into trouble

and I could get fired?

- Okay.
- You have to leave now, please.

Oh, hey, can I get my... the £40 back then?

- The what?
- Can I get my £40 back?

No! You lost your £40
because you didn't check out.

- It counts as another day!
- What d'you mean I lost my £40?

- What d'you mean?
- You said it was a deposit

- and I'm getting it back.
- Yeah.

- No, please. You have to leave.
- Cause I need that £40.

I have guests here.

I can't have you disrupting all of this on the floor.

No one asked you to take my stuff out.

What you doing?
How did you even find this card?

It was in my trouser pocket.

So you're looking through my pants?

- You a paedophile?
- What?

- Are you a paedophile?
- What?

I don't clean rooms, I'm a receptionist.

You're a pedophile! Move, don't touch me.

Don't use that word with me.

- Probably touched yourself.
- Don't go there.

There's no money here!

- Just taking the...
- Mark!

Oh, move, bro! Call Mark then. Mark!

- Stop touching me, bro!
- Stop! Can you please leave?

Stop. You people...

Stop acting like an animal!
What's wrong with you!

What animals, bro?
You better watch your mouth!

- Who's an animal?
- You're...

- I'll show you what an animal is.
- You know what I mean.

- Get out. Get out. Get out.
- Tell me what you mean.

- Tell me what you mean!
- This is exactly what I mean.

- What?
- Only thing you people know!

You look half-Black yourself, bro!

- I know my place in society! Get out.
- You're both Indian!

Get out. I'm not Indian!

- Where are you from?
- He's Indian.

You don't even know where I come from.

You're both Black!

He is seeing you as an example.
He's gonna grow.

He's gonna be just like you.

Shut the hell up. My brother's
gonna be a king, you dickhead!

- Back off.
- Get out.

Your children, your children
will work for my brother!

- So shut the hell up.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Your grandchildren
will polish my brother's shoes!

- Oh, my God.
- You're a thief.

- Okay.
- I'm gonna call the police.

- Right now.
- 113, City Vale Hotel.

- You're a thief!
- Hands out?

- Why are your hands out?
- You're an animal.

Um, I, um...

I called the police.
There's a woman here, she's disturbing.

- Look at this mess you made.
- All my stuff is broken.

Forget this, bro.

Oh, my...

Let's go.

Where are we going?

I'm trying to figure something out.

Can't we go to one of your friend's houses?

"Don't trust this girl, she stole from me..."

What?

Oh, fuck.

Are Agnes' parents asleep yet?

Yes, they are, so when you get there

you have to be quiet, okay?

I thought Agnes wasn't your real friend?

What are you talking about?
I've known her since primary school.

Don't say that when we get there.

Don't bug Agnes and mind that slug.

Shh, we have to be quiet.

Mind that slug!

- You alright?
- Yeah, I'm good.

Be quiet though,
cause my mum's right down there.

Come on then.

D'you wanna talk?

Dunno what to say.

We already know what happened.

How d'you know?

Um, from... from Roshe.

But looks like she's not even
gonna come back

to our school so just, just forget her.

You just...

can't keep, like, going on by yourself.

I didn't even... I didn't even do anything.

I'm not like the other kids
that swear to their mum.

I didn't do nothing to her.

You know...

there's gotta be a way to, like... sort all this.

Sort all this out.

What am I gonna do about Emmanuel?

I remember staying here time ago.

D'you think she's ever gonna come back?

I don't know.

Come on, you come with me.

Yo, what are you doing? Hello?

Excuse me.

- Hi, I'm from Social Services...
- Excuse me, Sir.

- Where's Emmanuel?
- Sorry, is it Rocks?

- He's gonna be safe.
- Can you stop walking?

- Rocks...
- Why are you still walking?

- Emmanuel.
- Whoa, whoa. Wait.

What are you doing?
I didn't ask for this, Agnes.

Emmanuel?

- Listen...
- No!

Hang on a minute, Rocks.

Leave her alone!

Can you get him out of the car, please?

It's alright. If you don't come with us

I'm gonna have to let Emmanuel go by himself.

We're not going with you. Let him out the car!

- No, we're not gonna go with you.
- We'll put him somewhere safe.

What are you doing? No!

You gonna believe him over your sister?

Rocks, come with us, we can see
if we can keep you together.

If you behave like this, we can't. Come on.

Emmanuel, open the door!

I was just asking for advice
cause I wanted to help you guys.

Emmanuel, open the door.

Emmanuel, open...

Why are you doing this to me?
Emmanuel, open the door!

Rocks, listen, you need to stop now. Okay?

I'm sorry!

Come in the car with us.

Listen, come in the car with us
or we gotta go without you.

Stop, it's time to get in the car.

Okay.

- This is her bag.
- Can I have his bag, please?

Give me that, give me the pink one.

Agnes... Look, you see, here's your things.

- Rocks, I'm sorry.
- Give me my shoes.

Rocks, please, I'm really sorry.

Can you put the window up?

I just wanted to help you guys.

Rocks, please. Rocks!

Put the window up, please.

Rocks.

Mummy, Mummy!

No! Please!

I want Mummy.

- Mummy!
- You're alright.

Mummy!

Mummy! Mummy!

You're gonna fall!
We're gonna fall! Pew! Mayday!

Mayday, mayday! Guardians of the Galaxy!

Save yourselves! No!

Here she is.

Emmanuel.

Let go.

Come.

- Let go.
- Are you okay?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Um, you're gonna have
to go with these two people.

- Okay?
- Why? Aren't you coming?

No, I'm not coming.

Me, you and Mummy...

are gonna be together soon.

But you can't tell anyone. Pinky promise.

Nobody.

- I won't.
- You have something there.

- Where?
- There. There!

Hey! Emmanuel...

Look, I'm sorry that
we haven't got any local foster carers

that can look after both of you.

But there's a nice foster family in Hastings

that are gonna take really good care of him

and you'll be staying with a local foster carer.

Come on.

- My mum's coming back.
- Yeah, maybe. Maybe.

But we'll go with this for now.

I'll arrange a visit but in the meantime

if she wants, she can write a letter

for me to pass on to him.

I've managed to give Rocks a few bits

but I think you might need
to all pop down to the shop

and get some more things.

Where is her mother?

We don't know.

We suspect she's had difficulty

managing her medication and mental health.

Rocks have been looking after herself,
looking after Emmanuel.

Yeah?

Are you hungry?

No, I'm fine.

You like curry goat?

I don't really eat Jamaican food.

Really? You do spicy food?

Um, a little bit.

I cook good.
You don't have to worry about that.

Thank you.

If you fancy anything

let me know and I'll heat
some up for you, alright?

Thank you.

That's my pleasure.

I'll... I'll leave you to settle.

- Yeah.
- If you want anything, I'm...

just in the other room, alright?

Okay.

Okay.

- Of course, you didn't know.
- When do you know? When?

When?

No, I swear it was... It's next week, man.

That bit!

And he got so excited because he thought...

Hubble bubble, toil and trouble...

Cauldron bubble...

Oh, so you're the witches now?

Hey, Rocks. Come sit here.

She only sit...

Sit down, man. Don't be shy.

Want some cake?

Yeah.

Ay, Rocks, man, where you been?

- Chilling.
- Ghosting.

- She's been ghosting.
- Ghosting on us like Casper!

- They're so lame.
- Casper the ghost!

So, where's Emmanuel?

He's in Hastings.

Hastings? Where's Hastings?

1066, Battle of Hastings?

You're so wet, Kadijah.

Fam, that's the only Hastings I know.

D'you know any other Hasting?

- "Hasting"?
- "Hasting"?

"Hasting"!

Basically, it's his birthday tomorrow
and I'm not trying to miss it, so...

I'm trying to go to Hastings.

- Well, we're coming with you then.
- Yeah.

You guys don't need to come
with me, it's cool.

What you mean
we don't have to come with you?

- We're gonna come.
- I'm going tomorrow.

Yah... Guys, it's £29 off-peak for one person.

- Twenty-nine?
- Rah, like, in total?

- Per person!
