[DISTANT SIREN WAILING]
[MARCUS] I want to
tell you a little story
that was once told to me long ago.
"How do you win a
beautiful girl's heart?"
a young lovestruck boy
once asked the wise man.
"Well, if you love a
girl," the wise man said,
"and she's beautiful to you,
bring her flowers as a symbol of
your appreciation of that beauty."
"But what do you bring a girl
who already has every
flower in the world?"
the young boy replied.
"What more could you
possibly bring her?"
The wise man took a moment and smiled.
"Then you bring her laughter," he said.
"That's the most valuable
thing in this world.
You bring her laughter
and watch her flowers blossom."
[TRAP MUSIC]
Yo, what's good?
Hi.
[KISSES TEETH] Hi.
[SCOFFS] What's up with you?
Nothing, I'm cool. What's up?
See, I know you've been
feeling a little down recently,
and seeing as you don't
wanna talk, which I do get.
Thought to myself, what could
I possibly do to cheer you up?
I got us two tickets to go somewhere.
It's nuttin' big, it's
just a student comedy night,
- but I mean we could
- I'm busy.
Sorry.
Come on, man. Let's just
go, man, it could be fun.
All right, cool.
Let's go get some food
or sumtin' then, innit?
- Maybe a chicken burger.
- I said, I'm busy.
[KISSES TEETH]
This is from the other day, innit?
I knew I shouldn't have
said anything, you know?
Come, man, let's just go, man.
Stop acting like you
ain't hungry anyways.
Are you deaf?
[KISSES TEETH]
Just stubborn, man.
But, all right, cool,
innit. [KISSES TEETH]

[TENSE MUSIC]
Oi, I'm stubborn too, though. Remember?
Come on, Bianca, man.
One hour out of your
time ain't gonna kill you.
[PHONE BUZZES]
[PHONE CHIMES]

[QUIETLY] I hope it kills you.
You got one hour. That's it.
[CAR ALARM BLARES]
Hi, guys. Can I get you anything else?
Yeah. Can I get a
strawberry milkshake, please?
Sure.
- That'll be right with you.
- All right, safe.
So, look, yeah,
there's some sick online courses
that man's been looking at, like.
There's this screen printing one,
but I think the graphic design one's
the best one for me you know, like.
I might look into that a bit more.
The only problem I got with that, yeah.
It ain't cheap. It's fucking expensive.
I had to go shop my chain and
that, man. Joke ting, bruv.
Fuck it.
If I don't invest in myself
then who's gonna do it for me?
It's a mad sacrifice, that one there.
But life goes on. Just can't
Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you, yeah?
My art portfolio's coming
along well, you know, like,
man's been working on one bit, yeah?
And it's pretty deep, like.
It's just my random thoughts on
some things that I've seen, you know?
Bare personal and that, man.
But I've been taking your advice,
putting my thoughts on paper and that.
[KISSES TEETH] I just hope it
works out in the end, you know.
Cuh, I think when I'm done,
I'm defo gonna go visit
some art colleges and that,
just to go and check and see what
they think about man's work and that,
you get me?

Yo, are you mad?
Keep your voice down.

I just need to eat.
I ain't eaten all day.
I've been shopping.
There's food in the fridge.
- Do you want me to warm something up?
- Nah, nah, nah.

a yute man still, you get me?
Before I turned evil. [LAUGHS]
Nah, man.
That's my project right there though,

Prime Minister one day, you know?
[LAUGHTER]
What's wrong with this yute?
- Oh, my days!

Prime Minister, blud?
You think they're gonna

Are you crazy? You're dumb, blud.
Let me tell you what this

It's all about money, blud.
You feel me? If it don't make
money then it don't make sense.
You feel me, fam? With
no money you're invisible.
You're a nobody, fam.
You get what I'm saying?
That's why we get that
money by all means.
[MARCUS] This is what I'm saying, bro.
You're missing the whole point.
Me getting a job is not a paycheck.
It's not about me getting
no money or nuttin'.
I'm trying to show my little

[PHONE BEEPS]
Marcus Christopher Reid.
237 Howsden Street.
[LAUGHS]
[MARCUS] You know I've often
wondered what causes us to fall?
Do we do it to ourselves
in some sort of strange way,
or is it our fate?
You know, like our destiny already
written in the stars kind of thing,
or just the fact that
we've risen so fast,
ascended to such great heights,
that we were always bound
to fall in the end anyway.
It was all just a matter of time.
We just didn't know it.
