The Boy in the Dress Page #3

Synopsis: *May Contain Spoilers* Dennis attends a school with a very strict dress code and, although he is their football team's star striker, he feels out of place, missing the glamorous mother who walked out on the family, leaving him feeling estranged from his father. After being attracted to a fashion magazine he befriends free-spirited school-mate Lisa, a talented would-be designer, who persuades him to model a dress she has made. Initially he feels awkward but takes to the cross-dressing as his own form of rebellion and wears the dress to school, passing himself off as a French girl, but he is exposed and expelled by the stony headmaster. With no Dennis the soccer team looks doomed in a cup final against a superior side but Lisa has an idea and the whole team takes to the field in dresses, defying the head to expel them too if Dennis cannot play. As a result he helps win the cup and is declared a hero, reunited with his father, though he is still expelled - until he discovers the headmaste

You would get away with it, I swear.

Yeah, but...

...we aren't actually

going to do it, are we?

I'm scared.

Just be confident.

The world is your catwalk.

This isn't a good idea.

Raj knows me.

He knows Dennis.

He's never met Denise.

Who's Denise?

Aha, Lisa, my favourite customer!

Who is your new friend?

This is my French exchange... person.

Girl. Student.

Bonjour.

Je am... Denise.

Wilkommen!

My shop is famous around the world.

Surely you've heard of it?

Non, Monsieur Raj.

You know my name! You must have!

How about commemorative postcards to

send to your family back in France?

They're blank. Yes, I know.

You can draw British

landmarks on them with...

this set of colouring pens,

priced just 4.99.

We'll just take this magazine.

Now, Denise, before you leave,

you must try our traditional

British delicacies.

These Twixs came in fresh

this morning.

Non, merci.

Le Munch De Monster,

s'il vous plait.

Excellent choice, senorita.

- Bye, Raj.

- Bye.

Au revoir.

Ciao!

Peter. Perfect Peter.

Peter the poppet.

Peter Piper picked a peck

of pickled pepper.

Wh-what exactly do you want?

Yeah, is Dennis ready for the semis?

Well, he's... Do you know, Peter,

every time I pop by and accidently

peep through your windows,

I can't help thinking that this

house could do with a woman's touch.

He's... So I've bought you some

scatter cushions.

And a couple of photo frames.

And oh, look - who's this?

He's out. With that Lisa James

girl from school.

I will find him. Stay strong.

That was hilarious!

I know! So, when do we do it again?

How about never?

What about the shopping centre?

Tons of people there. No!

Lisa, where's Dennis?

The semifinals!

Er, Dennis?

He said to tell you, if I saw you,

like, um, I'm seeing you now,

to say that he...

will be home in five minutes.

Well, come on!

How can anyone run in these?

All right, speedy!

Where were you?

Doing weights.

Are you a fan of

the rap music, Dennis?

Just say no.

...come and see me.

...see me.

...so easily. Ooh...

Please, don't do that.

Eh eh eh-eh!

Look at him!

Oh, go back to Hogwarts.

Darv, is it weird wearing

a patka on your head?

Nah, it's just a Sikh thing.

Yeah, I know, but you're the only

boy at school who wears one.

It's no big deal.

And it would be boring if we were

all the same, wouldn't it?

So, you're playing St Kenneth's.

Private school, state-of-the-art

sports facilities,

and, let's face it,

a better gene pool.

Now, on paper, things

don't look very good...

...and, looking at you now,

it's a lot worse.

You're always out of breath,

you've got chubby legs,

and most of you are still waiting

for your growth spurt.
