Coffee.

So, then.

So, then,

one coffee,

please, with milk

and sugar in it.

Thank you.

I think Laura

likes Arthur.

All the girls like

Arthur, don't they?

Maybe.

I'm not sure you do.

He's not my type.

I think Laura and Arthur

will be the first

in our year to have sex

because, if Arthur wants to,

Laura wouldn't stop him.

I'm sure you're right.

Tommy's changed.

Changed how?

Just changed.

That's all.

What about this one

by Madeleine Kane?

I think it shows more

than technical ability.

It gives a real insight

into the child.

Which is precisely

what Marie-Claude

wants for The Gallery.

Yes, I agree.

Mmm.

Put these

two together.

Madame is coming.

Good morning, students.

Good morning,

Miss Emily.

There are several

points of order today.

The first is that our good

friend, Madame Marie-Claude,

is visiting us.

She will, as usual,

be carefully inspecting

your artwork and poetry

and selecting

the very best pieces

for inclusion in her Gallery.

We will, of course,

extend to her every courtesy

and make her feel

most welcome.

Second point of order,

a piece of good news

for all students

who have been diligent

in collecting tokens.

After studies tomorrow,

there will be a sale.

The delivery

will arrive in the morning,

and I was assured

by the van driver

that the boxes will

contain a bumper crop.

Is it really

a bumper crop?

I should say so.

Yeah, sweetheart.

It's a bumper crop.

Hey.

Aren't you buying?

If you've already

spent all your tokens,

you can have some of mine.

I have tokens.

I was just gonna wait

till the rush died down.

I'm sure there'll be

something good left.

What's the matter, Kath?

Well, anyway,

it doesn't matter

if you can't find

anything in the sale

because I already

found you something.

A music tape.

I don't know much about it,

if it's much good or anything.

Thank you.

Darling

Hold me

And never

Never

Let me go

Darling

Kiss me

And never

Never

Let me go

The problem is

you've been told

and not told.

That's what I've seen

while I've been here.

You've been told

but none of you

really understand.

So I've decided

I'll talk to you in a way

that you will understand.

Do you know

what happens to children

when they grow up?

No, you don't,

because nobody knows.

They might grow up

to become actors,

move to America.

Or they might work

in supermarkets.

Or teach in schools.

They might become

sportsmen or bus conductors

or racing car drivers.

They might do

almost anything.

But with you

we do know.

None of you

will go to America.

None of you will work

in supermarkets.

None of you

will do anything

except live the life

that has already
