Hallam Foe Page #2
What do you want?
Thirty, 35?
Thirty-five?
Well, go on, f*** off, then!
F*** off, then!
Whoa.
- What's your name, son?
- Carl.
- Where's home, Carl?
- I'm staying with a friend.
Not that gentleman
you were talking to?
- No.
- So, your friend, what's his address?
Where the hell is he?
Mum!
Can I help you?
Do you have any jobs, please?
Sorry, we use an agency.
I can give you their details.
Thanks.
Why are you staring at me?
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I've never
been for a job interview before,
and I was just wondering if you could
give me some advice on how to do it.
- I'm sorry?
- Would you...?
Could you throw a couple
of practise questions at me, just...
...just for practise?
- How desperate are you for work?
- Pretty desperate.
Well, the highest turnover in jobs
is usually in kitchen porters.
- OK. I'll be a kitchen porter.
- Why do you think you'd be suitable?
Well, it's what I've wanted to do
ever since I was a kid.
Sit down.
Don't tell people
what you think they want to hear.
- Just be yourself.
- OK.
I'm very enthusiastic
and I'm a quick learner,
and I'll work days, nights, weekends,
any overtime you want
for no extra money.
to work overtime for no extra money.
Well, give me a week's trial,
a day's trial.
I want a chance
to get a foot on the ladder.
If everything works out,
you won't pay agency fees.
That's a win-win situation for you.
Remember what I said about
the fast turnover in kitchen porters?
You're about to meet the exception.
- Cutlery, handles up.
- Right.
Go on.
Hey, hey, hey! What is the hurry?
Trying to show me up on your first day?
No.
I f***ing hate this job,
but it's my job.
Do you understand?
I killed a man once.
Smashed his skull on a pier.
Just so you know.
You take the rest. I'm off for a smoke.
Don't make friends with the chefs,
otherwise they'll want favours.
But don't get on their bad side,
or you'll be cleaning out
the fat fryer on a quiet Thursday.
They're all c*nts anyway.
Except TJ. He's OK.
Even if he is a f***ing bullshitter.
Have you ever met an African over here
who wasn't a brain surgeon over there?
Are you listening to me?
Yes, of course.
Brain surgeon. African. C*nt.
Aye, c*nt.
Reach out. One, two.
One. Right knee.
- Hey! Ho!
- Raymond!
- Hey!
- Hey!
Oh-ho! That's gonna cost you.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Are you serious?
- Absolutely.
Come on. You're losing.
That's 4.
- Do you mind if I take a break?
- Do what the f*** you like.
Who are you?
- I'm a... kitchen porter.
- So, what are you doing up here, then?
It's very simple. The staff entrance
is on the ground floor.
So is the kitchen. So is the canteen.
