- in what seems to be a very...

- Let's make it short.

Sure.

Good afternoon, ladies.

Welcome to this two-day course

in deportment and public speaking.

DELIBES:
The Flower Duet

This is your room?

This is it.

This is your personality?

This is an aspect of my personality.

(Claps twice) Follow me.

SKY LARKIN:
Somersault

Let it go...

This is a room.

Oh, wow.

- Hello!

- Hey, William!

- Great.

WILLIAM:
Are you all right, Emily?

Isn't this the most beautiful place

you've ever seen?

I love it.

It's great.

Eva...

I can't remember inviting you here.

I mean, come on, look!

I couldn't stay away!

I'm sorry. You don't mind, do you?

Do you want me to go?

Oh, let him stay, Eva. Come on.

Sure. Whatever.

Let it go

We've been stealing voices from throats

Somersault, let it go

Let it go

No-one's sitting here, are they?

What is that?

It's a golden gourami.

Yeah, I just bought it...now.

You bought it dead?

Sh*t.

So, are you gonna talk, then?

Er...

She's an only child.

It would have been nice to have

another one, but it just didn't happen.

EMlLY:
It's all so desperate,

but they're turning us into

these unbelievably dull people.

It's dull and tasteless.

It's a good combination.

I know we could be happy

if they respected themselves

for what they are.

So I want to wake us all up.

And I want their love.

I really do.

Well, the closest our family's ever been

was when my dad had prostate cancer.

I mean, that malignant growth in his

arse was the happiest time of our lives.

Do you think you could fake

a semi-terminal illness?

I've never tried...

Or violence, then?

Seriously?

Yeah, a family under attack

will always pull together.

Is that true?

A little fear and they'll stop

with the social climbing,

get back to the basics

of loving their daughter.

- You think so?

- It's a wake-up call for them, Emily.

You'd just be doing them a favour.

Right.

So, for the purpose

of bringing you closer together,

do you think you could do some

random violence on your parents?

- I could try some random violence!

- Oh, fantastic.

Of course,

I wouldn't know where to start.

Oh, well, myself and William

can brainstorm ideas with you.

Just small, petty things to begin with.

Right, William?

Premeditated murder I disapprove of.

- But random violence I can do.

- Good boy.

- Oh...this is great.

- Let's get started!

But who's Jim?

(Thumping dance music)

Yeah, it's nice.

It needs a bit of colour, though,

right?

Er...

You don't talk much.

Is it that you're shy,

or don't you like people?

Shy.

Do you allow yourself to have friends?

No.

Do you think you'll be here

when I come back outside, Jim?

I really hope so.
