Let me shut the door.

Get a bit of privacy.

[ Jackie ]

Who's the manager?

Ben is,

but I'm taking care of things.

I'm doing the shift handover.

[ Jackie ] And you're--

Karl. So have you got

some stuff for us, or--

- Lucy, get a seat.

- Yeah, come and sit

over here, Lucy.

[ Jackie ]

I'll drop them off

for you later.

I've got a few details

that you'll need as regards

to medication and stuff...

I've not actually

managed to pick up yet.

[ Overlapping Conversations,

Indistinct ]

[ Woman ]

I can't make heads or tails

of what you've written.

[ Overlapping Conversations

Continue, Indistinct ]

[ Karl ] All right then,

we'll definitely have

something worked out for today.

[ Knocking ]

[ Man ]

Out!

Connor, out. Out, out, out.

We'll talk later.

Lucy, I'm gonna go now.

I'll see you later.

Shall I introduce you

to everybody? I'm Vicky.

Marie.

That's Johann. Karl.

Hi, Lucy! You all right, duck?

[ Chuckles ]

That's Darren there.

You all right there?

Ladene.

Hiya.

Otis? Connor? Oh, look at that.

They were so busy

busting into the room,

now they don't give a--

Oi. Otis.

Connor. Say hello to Lucy.

I don't want to speak

to someone I don't know.

Move out my face. Bye!

[ Ben ] Nice.

Ben's in charge,

or he likes to think so.

We're having sausages.

You like them?

This is the kitchen.

You're not allowed

in the kitchen unless one

of the adults is in here, okay?

Let me take you through.

I'll show you your room

in a minute.

That's the storeroom.

We've got the washing machine

down there.

Have you got-- Oh, you haven't

got a bag, have you?

We'll get some stuff for you.

Here's Lauren and Sharon.

Say hello to Lucy.

All right.

Hiyo.

You'll be sharing with Lauren.

She's got the biggest room.

- Karl. Karl!

- We've got big TV, videos--

Yes?

What am I doing?

You'll be sharing with Lucy.

I'm sharing a room now?

Yes.

Why couldn't you tell me

this earlier, on me own?

Well, I've just decided.

You always want a bit of

responsibility, so there you go.

Karl, I'm 16.

I need me own space.

Do you know what I mean?

- Of course you do.

- I'm an adult.

Darren?

[ Darren ]

Huh?

Are you on shift?

Yeah, I've just started.

Just having my cup of tea.

Well, you're supposed to have--

Let me say one thing.

Sorry. A minute, Lauren.

You're supposed to have your tea

before you come on shift.

I'm to share with

some other f***ing person?

No. No! I'm not doing it!

You're always looking

for a bit of respect.

I ain't f***ing doing it!

You always keep saying,

"Treat me like an adult."

I'm not doing it!

Go on. Just follow Lauren.
