“House Sitting”

In this episode: Paul (14), Jo (12), Jon (10), Bradley (10), Rachel (9), Hannah (8), Tina (7), Debi (4)

(to Jon) Do you know something? Why can’t we leave our own Chateau Style Terrace?

What are you reading, Rach?

The big vulgar House Magazine. The magazine of big vulgar houses.

Rachel’s getting restless again, guys.

No. Not restless. Just curious. Don’t you ever wonder what it’d be like to live in one of those big houses like rich and famous people do.

Maybe you mean like one of those amazing mansion in Bel-Air with like the 30m Art Deco pool and their own cinema and A Philip Star Kitchen and like six different kinds of palm trees.

Yes!

No.

Joni Alert! Joni Alert! Bandits 4:00! I repeat, Joni Alert!

Oh, no. It can’t be rent there already, can it?

It can.

When you owe as much money as we do, every day is a rent day.

And she had one of those really mean looks on her face. You know, like the one that says…

Eviction.

Eviction? Oh, no!

AAll

No!

What’s all the panic for? What could she do to us anyway?

(to Bradley) Oh, you mean apart from like sell of all our possessions, kicks out the apartment and probably gets checked out the country. Not much, Bradley.

Sell of our possessions? What, you mean like my CDs?

Yeah, and your Britney Spears go skating posters!

This is terrible, Jon! Joni Alert! Joni Alert!

Have you seen the kids?

AAlphonse

No. I don’t like kids. When I see kids, I feel sick. So I don’t see kids, then I feel better.

I saw them come in here, Alphonse. Now don’t lie to me. Where are they?

Guys, see. It’s just like I was telling you. The tiles on this side of the counter are just the same as the tiles on that side.

AAll

Oh.

Oh, Joni. Hi. What a pleasant surprise.

All right, everybody. Out from behind the counter, pronto.

And bring your wallets.

AAlphonse

Kids. They’re like mice. They get in through the smaller spaces.

Can I see who’s probably now… (sneezing)

AAlphonse

Gesundheit.

Thanks.

That’s it. That’s all you have. You guys, I’m looking for the rent here. Not a tip for the bus, boy.

Look, Joni. We are trying. We’re really looking hard for some work, aren’t we, guys?

AAll

Hm.

Aren’t you?

AAll

Yes!

All right, I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do here. Instead of throwing you out, I’m going to go proactive. I’m going to help you guys to help yourselves and in turn, help myself to…

Help yourself to what?

To half your wages. Now here’s the deal, a friend of mine just called and asked if I knew 3 sensible kids who wanted to do some house sitting.

And do you? Because if you don’t, then I’m sure I might know some…

Hannah.

House sitting? Is that like when you sit around someone else’s pool? You eat with their food and you get paid for it.

No. That’s where you watch somebody’s property in a conscientious and professional manner.

And then you sit around the pool all day munching their food.

Okay. Well, there’s 2 kids who obviously have other working plans for the next few weeks.

No. We were only joking.

Yeah. We are sensible. In fact, that’s what the SNS Club stands for.

Too late. You’ve blown it.

Oh.

I saw from your resume that you’ve listed your harries as looking at old churches, and helping senior citizens cross busy roads.

Mmm. Well, Debi, you know, I do what I can in between the voluntary litter collecting.

Litter collecting? You do that for a fun?

Well, no. Not, not really fun. It’s more of a…

Citizenly duty.

Yeah, you can only take out of society what you put in, Debi.

Mmm.

I mean as I always say “A litter-free world is a better world.”

That’s incredible, because I’m a volunteer community litter collector too! Venture litter box, litter box, go, go, go!

So, do you guys have your own song?

We do, actually, yeah. But Paul always likes to sing that one, don’t you, Paul?

(nodding, then singing) We broom. We brush.

RJRachel and Jo

Yeah, yeah.

(singing) We don’t make a fuss.

DRDebi, Rachel and Jo

Yeah, yeah.

(singing) Dropping litter is a sin.

RJRachel and Jo

Yeah, yeah.

(singing) So, put it in the bin.

RJRachel and Jo

Yeah, yeah.

(singing) We broom, we brush!

RJRachel and Jo

Yeah, yeah.

(singing) But don’t make no fuss!

DRDebi, Rachel and Jo

Yeah, yeah.

(singing) Dropping litter is a sin!

DRDebi, Rachel and Jo

Yeah, yeah.

(singing) So, put it in the bin.

DRDebi, Rachel and Jo

Yeah, yeah.

(singing) Broom and broom and broom and brush!

RJRachel and Jo

Yeah, yeah.

(singing) Broom and broom and broom and brush.

RJRachel and Jo

Yeah, yeah.

All right.

Wow! Look at that pool! The others are gonna be so jealous when they see this.

Rachel, that’s not very kind. Yeah, they are, aren’t they?

What do you mean others?

Um…

I hope you’re not thinking about getting your friends here. The owner has spent millions getting this place together. It’s your job to make sure it stays that way.

Debi, I couldn’t agree more, and that’s exactly what we’re gonna do. So, why don’t we go off and talk about the security operations.

She’s having a laugh, isn’t she?

Paul, I’m a little worried about those other two. Are you sure they’re not…party animals?

Debi, Debi, trust me. They are so sensible. They always look both ways when they’re crossing the bathroom.

Oh. Interesting. Italian Renaissance, I’d say.

Yes. Definitely. Shame about the nudity, though. Is that quite necessary?

Oh, I don’t know. The youth of today.

Mmm.

Did you see the size of that bedroom?

Did you see the size of that bed? You got seven of us in there and still 11 enough room for another six and a half pounds.

JRJo and Rachel

Hi, Paul!

Look. Before we do anything else, I thought we just better sit down and draw up this list of duties.

Duties? Debi’s gone now, Paul. You can stop pretending to be sensible.

Look, I’m not pretending. We’ve got a huge responsibility here and I don’t want to mess it up.

No. You’re right.

Yeah. I mean we’re mature adults, aren’t we?

JRJo and Rachel

Oh, yeah!

AAlphonse

So, you give the customers what they want. You give it to them fast and you give it to them with a smile. You do not bang it down on the table and you do not spill it on their lap. Got that?

Yeah, we got that, Alphonse. Loud and clear.

Okay. Don’t spill it on their lap. Remember that. Very important.

AAlphonse

You got 2 days of work, then I get my regular waitress back. The cute one. What? People like cute.

Well, we can’t promise you cute but we can promise you efficient.

AAlphonse

Aww.

This looks like it’s gonna be a very boring job, Jon.

Well, anything’s better than just sitting around waiting for an invitation up to the big house.

What invitations?

Exactly.

But on the other hand.

There are compensations.

IJIntro: Jo

Ooh yeah, oh

Oh yeah

As the night draws in, let the game begin

It’s a groove thing

Let your feet decide, gonna catch a ride

Keep on moving

PCPre-Chorus: Jo

So let’s float away

The moon can’t be that hard to reach

The night will just take us there

And all you gotta do is, all you gotta do is

Raise the roof and get on the floor

(House down, raise the roof, get on the floor)

Let’s bring the house down

You can stay in bed with a sleepy head

Doing nothing

You can always try just to walk on

But it will pull you in

We’re flying away

We’ll fall into this fantasy

Where the groove will carry us on

And all we gotta do is, all we gotta do is

CAChorus: All

Bring the house down

(House down, raise the roof, get on the floor)

Let’s bring the house down

Really wanna hear you shouting more, more, more

Everybody spread your wings

Let’s bring the house down (Down, down, down)

The night will just take us there

And all you gotta do is, all you gotta do is

Let’s bring the house…

So bored! (grunts)

This is nice!

Yeah.

Can you pass the salt please?

Okay.

Thanks.

It’s great to have a bit of space, though, isn’t it?

Yeah. Makes all the difference.

I hate it.

I really miss the others.

Let’s see if we can get them round tomorrow.

Yeah, but what if they don’t want to come?

Well, this is nice, isn’t it?

Yeah. We don’t need the others. We can have fun on our own.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hello? Oh, hi, Jo. How are you doing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We’re having a great time. How about you?

(speaking to Jon on the phone) It’s brilliant. It’s a lot of fun.

You want us and come and see you?

Well, um, I’m not sure what we’re doing tomorrow.

Well, only if you feel like it. I mean it’s no big deal.

Yes.

We’ll have a party about 8 o’clock.

Wicked. No worries. See you tomorrow.

Okay then. See ya.

Bye. Yes!

There’s that boy you fancy.

Okay. Wouldn’t say anything. I’m just gonna play it cool.

RRick

Hey, Tina. What’s up?

Um, I’m going to a party tonight. Do you wanna come?

RRick

Yeah. Sure.

Nice one, Teen. That was really cool.

You think she’s come back to see me.

No, but don’t let that stop you.

Don’t worry. I won’t. (He comes downstairs to see the Rich Girl) Your diet cola, ma’am.

Oh, excuse me. Did I order a drink?

So I’m psychic. Diet decaf with ice on the lime twist, right?

(chuckles) Half twist, actually.

Oh. (He cuts the lime in half with a pair of scissors) So, uh, what are you doing tonight?

I’m sorry. I don’t do waiters.

Quite right. Well, actually, I’m not a waiter. I’m an actor.

Who isn’t?

I’m researching apart from movie about waiters and the studio rated me a $20 million mansion up in Bel-Air.

$20 million, huh?

I’m having a party tonight if you wanna come.

Mhm.

AAll

Yay!

How are you doing, Paul?

RRick

Hi. I’m a friend of Tina’s. I uh… I brought some friends.

M1Man #1

Party!

M2Man #2

Let’s party!

I don’t know whether that was such a good idea, Teen.

Ooh, be careful of the…

Hi. I’m a friend of Bradley’s. Bradley, I brought some friends. I hope you don’t mind.

Why does everyone have to keep saying that?

(to Rick) Can you not go near the lamp? Don’t go near the lamp! Don’t go near the lamp!

Can you keep it down please? Hannah! Can you keep it down? Can you keep it down please?

Can you try and have a little bit of respect? That was a lonely expensive one. Don’t do it anymore otherwise you will get out.

Oh, no, no, no. That ice-cream isn’t for eating now. Have you tried the pistachio? It’s really nice.

So, what’s your movie about?

The movie. Um… Basically, me and Hugh Grant, we play these, um, two English waiters, who have to raise money for this poor blind kid who wants the train to become a chef. So, uh, they do this bang robbery. Yeah. Big Heist. But it goes wrong. So, we have to hide the money in a… in, in a big cake.

PPaige

Hey, that’s cool!

Yeah, in a big creamy cake. But, um, that gets stolen by the angry fat people.

Sounds kind of dumb.

Yeah, there’s dumb and there’s dumb. I mean this is dumb, innit? But, in a kind of more deep meaningful way.

Cheers then. Anyway, yeah, me and Hugh Grant. We go way back. Yeah.

PPaige

Oh, he’s so cool.

Yeah, he’s a good friend of mine.

PPaige

I’m a big fan of his.

Yeah.

PPaige

He’s wonderful. Cool.

Yeah.

Jon, what is going on? Who are all these people?

I’ve got no idea, mate. But if you can’t beat them, you might as well join them.

Join them? Join them? Look! Look, are you mad? Look at what they’re doing to the statue!

Oh, it’s too late. It’s gone too far. Instead of fighting against the tide, you might as well just let yourself get swept out to see.
