1. SWISS PARK
DIRECTOR
Something unusual has happened in your local area. Could you elaborate?
GEORGE
Dem breres have taken over innit. Man dem think they rule the ends... Pagans got power now.
DIRECTOR
And by pagans you mean...?
HAROLD
Geeks, side mans, beg friends, 'teacher's pets' (he uses air quotes and puts on a posh accent here). Ya
get me?
DIRECTOR
I get you.
SWISS LIBARY
HENRY
So do we all concur? We disagree with Gilbert's theory on relative velocity of accelerator particles?
GEEKS
We concur.
MOHAMED
I believe the best course of action was if we got together and wrote our own extended thesis as a sort
of counter argument. You are all welcome to come to mine - we can blast some Mozart, sip some port
(he winks at them) and I might even go to WholeFoods and buy some of that Normandy cheese we all
loved so much.
GEEKS
Here here!
(general noises of appreciation, others get diaries out to write in...)
SWISS CAFE
Mid-shot of group of gangsters walking past the group of geeks.
HENRY
Oh look who it is! George, I heard your minecraft house got blown up by a creeper...
GEEK
(woops and disses follow from fellow geeks)
HAROLD
Well you flopped though innit I don't even play that game bruv...
GANGSTERS
(other gangsters offer comments and sounds of support)
HENRY
Oh of course, I should have known. The development of the right side of your brain seems to have
been stunted at birth - you are displaying typical traits of a common neanderthal. Next he will be
using rocks to form primitive food vessels and walking on all fours...
GEORGE
Relax man, back off yeah (kisses teeth), you ain't got no nothing on me, these are my ends ya get me?
MOHAMED
Again you are displaying those traits most often seen in baby apes... I must correct you. These are
OUR. ENDS. (he points around the library)
GEEKS
(stand and hold their compasses out aggressively towards the gangsters)
HAROLD
Are ya starting? (looks around to others). This brere must be taking the piss man, no-one speaks to
man like that!
Zoom out of close-up of Harold to mid-shot of library - 3 more geeks have arrived with piles of books
in their hands raised above their head like weapons.
HENRY
I think you know who 'runs these ends' (uses air quotes and mocks the way the gangsters speak'
GEORGE
This is bare jokes man, let's cut.
TEACHER'S OFFICE
TEACHER

2. It all started at the beginning of this academic year. Those students who achieve the highest grades
and who are traditionally seen as 'geeks' all of a sudden began to stand up for themselves. There was
an altercation in the diner one day - some of the more 'geeky' students were being picked on by one
of the more rough students in Year 12. They were pushing it and pushing it and the geeks just sat
there and took it. Then all of a sudden, I remember as I was on duty at the time, one of the boys, I
think his name was George said something that struck a chord with the antagonising student. After
George said this one thing, the student's face dropped. He was silent. Then all of a sudden he burst
into a fit of tears and ran out.
DIRECTOR
How did the rest of the students in the diner react.
TEACHER
There was complete shock. It was silent. Ande believe me, these students are never silent. People
were looking at George in complete awe. Then after about 5 seconds there was a huge round of
applause.
DIRECTOR
Why do you think that was?
TEACHER
There had been a shift of power. No-one had stood up to this student before.
GEEK SOCIAL EVENT
George is speaking directly to the camera here.
GEORGE
Everyone is expecting you. We are very pleased to have a fellow geek joining us at one of shindigs!
DIRECTOR
Well I wouldn't say I was a geek but GEORGE (INTERRUPTING)
Oh yes of course my friend (winks)
George is walking away towards the party and the camera follows
DIRECTOR
Thanks for inviting us to your private event. Could you tell us a bit more about what you are doing this
evening?
GEORGE
We are holding a debating session. Have you read the new government report on 'pharmaceutical
funding in a postmodern state'. It really is a hot topic!
They walk through the door to see a group of keeps sitting around with books and caviar.
