00:00I want you to look for the words reveal, pretend and love in your readers tonight.
00:17I want you to be able to spell them on Monday.
00:19Awww.
00:46Oh, so grumpy.
00:48I'll tell you what, if everyone does well in their spellings, we might have a DVD next week.
00:53Yes!
01:10Are you OK, Ardell?
01:18OK.
01:32Oh, Ardell, that's lovely.
01:34I used a week's pocket money.
01:36Oh, wow, that's far too much. You didn't have to.
01:38I did. It's important that you know how I feel about you.
01:43Well, this is very special and I'll treasure it always.
01:47Hmm. Does this mean we're engaged?
01:51Er, well, I haven't thought about it.
01:54If you want to, I suppose.
01:59Well, that's very sweet and I'll certainly give it some thought.
02:03You have a good weekend, OK?
02:05Yes, Miss, I definitely will.
02:17So, how was everyone's day?
02:19You're a horse.
02:21Screaming at some kid with a crossbow?
02:23No.
02:24Yeah. We shite was off his head and glue and trying to rob a newsagent.
02:28Had to go ahead to shoot and everything.
02:30Oh, God, did you waste him?
02:32It's not cool, Ardell.
02:34No more cowboy films.
02:36No. He backed down in the end, thank God.
02:38Otherwise, I'd be sitting here with a bag of shit.
02:42Where are these kids' parents?
02:46Mum, what age can a person get married at?
02:49Erm, I think it's 16.
02:51Why? Have you got some news for us?
02:53No, well, not yet.
02:57I'll keep you posted.
03:00Have you got five minutes?
03:04What for?
03:12Well, you need to be four quick.
03:14OK.
03:16What time is it?
03:18Half past eight.
03:22OK.
03:24So, what time is it on your calendar?
03:26Come on, Ardell. You're dawdling.
03:47Hello, Ardell.
03:49Have you bought anything nice?
03:51Boots.
03:53Oh, lovely. They make you look very smart.
03:55They're cowboy boots.
03:57Wow, very cool. I got something special myself.
04:00Hello, Miss Purdy.
04:02Oh, my goodness. Someone's a lucky girl.
04:05That's gorgeous.
04:07Thanks, Mrs Travis.
04:09This is my... Oh, my fiancé, Pierce.
04:11This is Ardell.
04:13One of my second-classers and his mum.
04:15Congratulations.
04:17Yeah, cheers.
04:19Cat, are we done here yet? The match is starting in ten minutes.
04:21Well, I thought we'd get a celebratory lunch.
04:23I think you fleeced me enough today as it is.
04:25Come on, I don't want to miss kick-off.
04:27Bye, Ardell. Bye, Mrs Travis.
04:29Bye.
04:31Bye.
05:01Now, remember your spellings, please.
05:03Bye.
05:05Bye.
05:07Bye, Ardell.
05:09Ardell Travis, come here, please.
05:15What's up, Ardell?
05:17Is your mum all right?
05:19Yeah, she's fine.
05:21I don't know.
05:23I don't know.
05:25I don't know.
05:27I don't know.
05:29I don't know.
05:31It's you wearing his ring and not mine.
05:35Oh.
05:37It's complicated, Ardell.
05:39Someday you'll...
05:41How is it complicated? He's no good for you, miss.
05:43I'm sorry, pet.
05:45Go on.
05:47It's all right. You'll see anyway.
05:49What do you mean?
05:51Nothing. You'll just see that I'm the one that loves you.
05:53Ardell, I know you do.
05:55And you're very special to me, too.
05:57Sometimes grown-ups, we have to...
05:59I have to go home, miss. Bye.
06:09I would have taken you for lunch.
06:11What?
06:13I would have missed the football and taken you for lunch.
06:27Come on, woman.
06:29Always the frigging last.
06:43Well, hello there.
06:45What can I do for you?
06:47Don't marry Miss Pretty.
06:49Come again?
06:51I'm telling you, you're not to marry Miss Pretty.
06:53And why is that, then?
06:55Because she's mine.
06:57Well, that is a dilemma.
06:59Don't laugh at me.
07:01Sorry, pal, but, you know,
07:03all's fair in love and war.
07:05See, she told me
07:07you were just too short.
07:09She never said that.
07:11And that you weren't financially stable enough
07:13to cater for her needs.
07:15She's a high-maintenance lady, you know.
07:17I don't know what that means.
07:19You will, mate. You will.
07:21You talk, Stuart.
07:23Well, now, don't be getting on.
07:25Meet me in a duel.
07:27A what?
07:29A duel, just you and me.
07:31We're in the handball court.
07:33Tomorrow, after school.
07:35To the death.
07:39Okay.
07:41So, uh, what are we fighting with?
07:43Swords? Pistols? Conkers?
07:45Pistols.
07:47By Jove. It's a date, sir.
07:49See you there.
07:53And may the best man, or boy, win.
08:01What's tickled you?
08:03Oh, you gotta hear this.
08:23Come on.
08:35Oh, wait.
08:37You gotta see this.
08:39What?
08:41I have an appointment with death, remember?
08:43Oh, leave it. Don't be mean to him.
08:45Come on. I just want to see.
08:47You can stay here if you like.
08:53Come on.
09:23I was beginning to think you wouldn't show.
09:27Where's your gun?
09:33Ah.
09:35Think I've forgotten it.
09:37Silly me, huh?
09:39That's not my problem.
09:41I suppose not.
09:43So, then.
09:45Where's your...
09:47gun?
09:53Ha-ha.
09:55That's not real.
09:57Yes, it is.
10:03What's going...
10:05Ardell, what are you doing?
10:07Ha.
10:09That's not...
10:11Now, don't point.
10:15It's not real.
10:17It's a toy, isn't it, son?
10:19It's not a toy.
10:21Ardell, put that down now.
10:25Now, where would you get a real...
10:27My dad's a guarder.
10:33Hang on. Guards aren't armed.
10:35The emergency response unit are.
10:41You couldn't have told me about this.
10:43Jesus.
10:45Now, now, be careful, wee man.
10:47Just...
10:49Just put that thing down and we can talk about it.
10:51Say you won't marry Miss Purdy.
10:53You don't deserve her.
10:55Why...
10:57You don't even know me.
10:59I know you're not good enough for her.
11:01Why?
11:03Because you're a dickhead.
11:05Ardell Travis. Sorry, miss.
11:11Are you just gonna stand there and watch one of your second-classers blow my head off?
11:13He won't.
11:15Have you not seen Sadie yet?
11:17Is that a fucking cop or something?
11:19Stay there, miss.
11:27Ardell, please, put it down.
11:31I'm going to have to put it on your report.
11:33What will your mum and dad say?
11:35I told you it's a toy, miss.
11:39Now, listen to your teacher, son.
11:41Tell her you won't marry her.
11:43I'm not gonna tell her that.
11:45Get off the phone.
11:47Just... Just hold on there.
11:49Don't...
11:51Okay, okay, you can have her.
11:53I never wanted to marry her anyway.
11:55Excuse me?
11:57She moaned constantly about it.
11:59She did my head in.
12:01I thought putting a ring in her finger would shut her up for a while.
12:03I don't want to be married.
12:05Please.
12:07Please.
12:09Ardell.
12:11Please don't shoot me.
12:13Get someone, you stupid bitch!
12:43See you, miss.
12:51You dickhead.
12:57You little bastard!
12:59You come anywhere near him,
13:01and I'll tell everyone that you're a kitty fiddler.
13:03Come on, Ardell.
13:05Will this go in my apartment, miss?
13:07Maybe we'll keep this between ourselves.
13:09But maybe you should give me that for safekeeping.
13:13Oh, God, it's very realistic.
13:15Where did you get it?
13:17My dad is hiding it in his room.
13:19Oh, my God.
13:21I'm so sorry, miss.
13:23It's okay.
13:25It's okay.
13:27It's okay.
13:29It's okay.
13:31It's okay.
13:33Where did you get it?
13:35My dad is hiding it in his wardrobe for my birthday.
13:37Nice, isn't it?
13:39It's certainly very pretty.
13:41I'll just pop it in here for safekeeping.
13:47Oh.
13:49What's this?
13:51It's all right, miss. I've decided not to marry you after all.
13:53Oh, why's that?
13:55I'm not financially stable enough to cater for all your needs.
13:59And someone as nice as you
14:01can have everything she wants.
14:07Someday some girl's going to be very lucky.
14:11Nah, girls are stupid.
14:13Well, we certainly can be.
14:15Come on, Romeo, I'll get you home.
14:31I'll still wait there, that's what I'll do
14:33And keep a spare seat for you
14:35I'll still wait there, that's what I'll do
14:37And keep a spare seat for you
14:39I'll still wait there, that's what I'll do
14:41And keep a spare seat for you
14:43I'll still wait there, that's what I'll do
14:45And keep a spare seat for you
14:47I'll still wait there, that's what I'll do
14:49And keep a spare seat for you
14:51I'll still wait there, that's what I'll do
14:53And keep a spare seat for you
14:55I'll still wait there, that's what I'll do
14:57And keep a spare seat for you
14:59You're crumbled in beauty
15:03Has the bridge been burned?
15:07The door's the way home for me
15:15I was so sure it turned out
15:19A world of lies
15:25I'll still wait there, that's what I'll do
15:29And keep a spare seat for you
