How's your chicken?
Good.
How's your fish?
Good.
How's school?
OK.
Paul?
OK.
Good.
How's your ice-cream?
Good.
Let's do something different
next time I'm over.
Like what?
Um... go swimming?
Go and see a film?
I'll think of something.
# There she goes
# There she goes again
# And I just can't contain
# This feeling that remains
# There she goes
# There she goes again
# And I just can't contain
# This feeling that remains
# There she goes
# There she goes

I'm Ms Hughes.
It's not Miss, it's not Mrs.
Ms, OK?
Practise? Say it after me.
Ms Hughes.
Come on.
Ms Hughes.
Fine.
Don't forget.
Right, I'm gonna start off today
by telling you
a few things I like
and a few things I DON'T like.
Yeah, all right. All right.
All right,
that's enough football.
Now, "Of Mice and Men".
How many of you managed to, uh,
get all the way through it?
Steven, you've got
your hand in the air.
You've not read it?
Yes, sir.
What happens in the end?
He shoots him, sir.
Who shoots who?
The little bloke
shoots the big bloke.
He's right, sir.
I'm leaving because
If I've got Steven Downing
to read a book,
there's no challenges left.
My career can only go downhill.
Better be about
the book, Robert.
No, sir. It's about Alan Smith.
Yeah, well, later.
What about him?
Mr Ashworth, have you
got a moment?
Sorry, but the noise from here
makes it impossible to
concentrate next door.
You'll get used to it.
I don't want to get used to it.
I want to do some work,
not listen to moronic
football chanting.
QUIET!
Out! Out!
Hold your hands up
in the air!
Offside! Linesman!
YOU'RE the linesman!
My God!
Right, clap.
Show he's done the right thing.
We don't have linesmen, sir.
Applaud the referee, then.
Jesus, doesn't matter.
That'll do for today.
Right. See you tomorrow, Sarah.
All right.
I was the naive,
stupid new teacher,
you were the cynical old hand?
What?
The snorting when
I asked a question.
I was reading
the football reports.
I never listen
at staff meetings.
This has got to be a pose,
this football stuff.
You pretend to be a yob
for a bit of street cred?
Is this 'cause my kids
Well, all kids enjoy a riot.
Actually teaching them
something is a lot harder!
I've seen this film.
You end up shagging
on the carpet.
If we end up shagging
on the carpet,
I will buy you a new carpet.
Yeah, right.
But I tell you...
I knew it!
No. No carpets.
He is an English teacher.
Oh, God, not all this again.
I mean, what about
Patrick Swayze?
No-one cares whether
he read Byron or not.
And you know, he is
the full Axminster.
I'd want a brain as well.
Eventually.
I'm off to Habitat first thing.
If we end up shagging,
you can carpet the whole house.
The walls, the ceiling,
the garden...
Well, what's she like?
if you like football,
you must be a yob.
Bollocks.
Is she fit?
Not that you'd prove
her point or anything.
What?
What have I done?
It's a perfectly reasonable,
straightforward question.
She's not unattractive,
but so what?
A) She hates me,
B) I hate her,
and C) what's the point
of all that?
Waste of f***ing time.
Ooh, sounds promising, then.
It must be terrible
being that miserable.
Pretending you only care
about football results
because the world's
a terrible place
and what's the point of it all?
What IS the point?
Don't worry. He's a sad,
lonely bastard.
Who cares what
made him that way?
Where's your brother?
Eh?
He's over there.
Oi, number nine!
You're a donkey!
Didn't he have a trial
with someone once?
Yeah. Orient.
They offered him
a contract, as well.
What happened?
Turned it down.
Stupid sod.
Said it was too risky.
What's he doing now?
Er, runs his own business.
Computer something.
He's on about
fifty grand a year.
- for a contract with Orient.
- So would I.
- Don't even like Orient.
- Neither do I.
He gets it both ways.
gets to play at a place
with floodlights.
Floodlights and a tea bar.
I'd love to play at a place
with a tea bar.
Yeah, well...
Bit late now, eh?
Dunno.
Stanley Matthews played
First Division football
till he was fifty.
Bet you any money you like
YOU'RE not playing
First Division football
- when you're fifty.
- It's the smoking.
It's not the smoking, Steve,
it's the crapness.
Pass the ball!
Penalty!
Yes!
Hold that.
I've always wanted to do this.
# La la la la la la-la
# La la LA la
# La la la la la la-la
# La la LA la... #
Anthropologists have always
had a hard time with football.
The trouble is,
you can only see
what's on the outside.
believe it or not.
We all have our reasons
for loving things the way we do.
Hey!
He's here!
Thanks for being so helpful.
Ready?
He's been ready for hours.
No, I haven't.
Yes, you have.
What time will you be back?
Er, six. Six thirty.
Fine.
See you later, then.
OK?
Have a nice time.
See you later, sunshine.
We'll do something
special next time, huh?
What?
The match.
Yeah.
Sounds like it.
I'm not really a football fan.
No.
One day we'll find something
