Made In Britain Page #2

Synopsis: Trevor is a 16 year old, sometimes-violent skinhead with no regard for authority, and would rather spend his time stealing cars than sitting in the detention centre to which he is sent. His social worker, Harry Parker, tries to do his best, but Trevor is only interested when there's something that he can get out of it. The authorities within the centre try to make Trevor conform to the norms of society, but he takes no notice, and would rather speak in a torrent of four-letter words and racial abuse.

I've been suspended, so I'm back.

- So why aren't you there today?

- Infection in my ear.

My case conference comes up next week.

- Then I might get out.

- They're all wankers.

- Who?

- This lot here.

Hey, what's that?

- Don't you know?

- No.

'Ere, you can have this bed if you want.

No, thanks.

I'll stay over here.

- That's just for the bus?

- That's right.

- What about pocket money?

- You've only just got here.

It's not been fixed yet.

I don't know how much you get.

- Same as everybody else?

- You have damages to pay, don't you?

For the broken window.

- I need some pocket money.

- What for?

If you're just going down to the Jobcentre

and back you won't need pocket money.

You go straight there and back again.

- What if I don't make it back for lunch?

- It won't take that long.

If it was up to me,

you wouldn't be going at all!

They might send me for a job!

Here's an extra pound -

against your pocket money!

Where we going?

Get in.

Remember this?

Evo-Stik.

Stay here.

I feel sick!

Oi! What's this say?

"Supermarket, 23.55 per week."

That's... 50p an hour.

- Bollocks!

- Yeah.

You ain't supposed to take the cards.

You a carpenter?

- What about this one, Jo?

- I was looking at this one.

"Dental practice. Four O levels."

"Required to train for three years

as dental nurse."

"Should have French and Spanish,

but not essential."

Yeah, who do you have to suck off

to get that one, then?

'Ere, what's this one say?

"MIF, 9.30-5.30. Young person

for general warehouse duties."

"Must be able to speak

fluent Punjabi and Urdu."

- You speak Urdu?

- No.

Fucks your chances then, dunnit?

Here y'are.

"Wood-veneer wall coverings. Candidate

must read, be of good character...

...living at home with parents

in home environment."

"No criminal record.

School records will be checked."

- Do I get a job from you?

- Yes, but you'll have to wait in the queue.

- You get me a job, right?

- Yes, but you can't jump the queue.

And you're supposed not to

take the cards from the display.

Could you put them back for me?

Tacky jobs, ain't they?

If you wait, perhaps

we can sort something out!

You got something useful I can do

while I'm waiting for a job?

I got ten O levels, seven A levels,

I speak Punjabi and chapatti!

You'll have to wait!

I'll come back tomorrow.

- See ya!

- I doubt it.

What's this place?

Where did you get all them?

Down a scrap yard.

- What's this?

- Centre punch. You never seen one?

- No.

- T-bar?

- What's that for?

- I'll show you.

Take these, get 'em in the centre.

Hide 'em - stick 'em up your arse.

Don't lose 'em! We get nicked, chuck 'em.

Hey, all the new cars -
