Hiya, I've got an appointment with George. Buzz me in.
I'm afraid I can't do that.
What? Why not?
[George mutters] I don't wanna do it.
[Denise] You explain. I'm not doing your dirty work for you.
Jen. Hi, how's it going?
Yeah. What's going on? Let me in.
Yeah, uh, physical fraternising with patients
is a breach of the code of conduct, which Denise very kindly reminded me of.
H-How does she know?
Every treatment room is equipped with CCTV.
But it was inside my mind.
[phone beeps]
[breathing heavily]
[sighs]
Yeah, right, okay. So, you've been fired, then?
Um.
[stammers] No, you've been fired, and then they're finding me a new coach.
A really important step in any journey, Jen,
is learning to take responsibility for your own action.
He said it was all your fault.
[stammers] What?
- Well, technically, you kissed me, so-- - Are you 15?
Regardless, your contract with us has been terminated.
What does that mean?

would feel the need to drop split in this scene.

No drop splits!

[Carrie] Can you at least get your money back?
No. They said I violated their inappropriate behaviour policy.
Oh, that's not fair.
If you're paying them that much,
you should at least be able to make out with them a little bit.
Right? [sighs]
George said it's fine though.
'Cause I already know what I need to do to get a power.
Twelve fucking grand for that deep insight.
I should've just microdosed and read a fridge magnet.
Uh, what do you think he meant?
Uh, he said something about moving on from childhood trauma or whatever.
Oh.
[Jizzlord] Do you think he meant your dead dad?
[kittens mewing]
Jizz, you have to find homes for these guys.
The flat's not big enough.
It's not even big enough for us. You're sleeping in the bath again.
Exactly. I don't belong anywhere.
I can't abandon my boys to the same fate.
But it's cruel to keep them here.
And besides, the landlord won't let us keep them because...
[all] All landlords are evil.
So, um, do you think George is right?
You're stuck in your childhood trauma.
Only adults get their powers.
I've been listening to this psychology podcast and some--
Yeah, I do think he's right.
There is one event from my childhood I've never been able to get over.
- Your dad dying. - When Miss Vallance didn't cast me
in the Year 5 production of Jesus Christ Superstar.
- What? - It's so obvious now that I see it.
I really don't think that's it--
There's only one way to undo that emotional scar.
[footsteps]
Cast me in your musical.
No. It's my baby. My expensive baby. I'm not letting you inside my baby.
[Jen] Oh, come on. I'm loud and desperate for attention.
I'm perfect for musical theatre.
No, you'll just mess it up,
and I'll have to go back and undo everything.
[both] You can go back again?
Isn't it great?
We can't fail. [sighs]
But we're not doing this to be perfect. It's just a bit of fun.
Yeah, and people say that I frequently bring a sense of fun to proceedings.
If I give you a role, will you shut up?
- Yep. - Okay. Um, okay, here.
You can play my wise old master.
- [sighs] - [Carrie] Clark has a point.
Just because you have your power back
doesn't necessarily mean you should use it.
Well, you can help me avoid using it by being my stage manager.
Use your voice, remember?
What? [giggles] Like, telling people what to do?
- Mm-hmm. - Oh, I don't know.
But you're good at real things. I'm just the ideas guy.
No, I need my hands free so I can focus on birthing this art baby.
Oh, okay.
[Kash] It's our opening and closing night. It has to be perfect.
This is one ugly baby.
Hello, little fella. [coos]
Oh, our cat just died.
We're looking to find another one to spoil.
Mmm. So, you admit you can't keep a cat alive?
Well-Well, he was 21. [chuckles]
Well, I can't have you project your grief onto my boy.
It's not good for his mental health.
- Ah. - [kitten mews]
[Megan] Look at me. It's fine.
[Carrie] Cast! All together now! Howdy! Over here. [chuckles] Yeah.
I think, and I'm r-- I'm really sorry if I'm wrong,
but I-I think you're all due on stage, like, soon.
- [chattering] - [Ade groans, wheezes]
Excuse me.
- [groans] - [Carrie] Excuse me.
L-Like, now...
- [Ade wheezes] - ...could-could be good.
- Rub the bump. - [Gregor chattering]
[Megan] No. Right, louder then.
Here! Fuck off. Get your arses on that stage!
Thank you. [chuckles]
Maybe I should just channel someone more assertive.
No! How are you going to learn to be fucking independent bitch Carrie
if you're always channelling someone else?
So, you're the one always making her do it.
What are you doing here?
I'm working! I'm the official seamstress, I'll have you know.
And I'm still not talking to you, so...
Well, I'm not talking to you either, so...
[scoffs]
Jen, I think you should tell her about the clinic.
I--
[sighs] I got kicked out of the clinic.
- What did you do? - What did I do?
- [Carrie] It wasn't her fault. - Yeah, I'm innocent.
Well, no. Okay, I-I did...
I hooked up with my coach. [sighs]
Mary, really. Transference.
Very common in these mentor-patient relationships.
I've been listening to this psychology--
Oh, go on, tell me off. I'm irresponsible. I always do this.
What a waste of money. Threaten to abort me, et cetera.
