1 THE STORY OF TRACY BEAKER EPISODE 9 Based on the book by Jacqueline Wilson Sändningsdatum: 20 mars 2003 TRACY: Hi, I'm Tracy. No, too sucky. Hi, how are you? I'm the incredible Tracy Beaker...and don't worry, I'll look a lot better than this after you've bought me a whole new wardrobe. JENNY: She's been behaving like this all week. MIKE: Didn't Elaine explain to her that these people just want to take a child out occasionally? JENNY: Since when did Tracy Beaker listen to a word anyone says? MIKE: I don't think Elaine's matched them with the right kid, y'know. JENNY: Since when did Elaine listen to a word anyone says!? TRACY: I wonder if they'll let me paint my new bedroom myself? TRACY: I'm sure they will. They'll love me so much, they'll do anything for me. TRACY: They're here! JENNY: Oh, wait there. JENNY: Are you the Browns? Come in. Come in. JENNY: Tracy, this is Mr and Mrs Brown. TERRY: Oh, call me Terry. JILL: I'm Jill. Pleased to meet you. TRACY: There must be a mistake! JENNY: What? TRACY: These people are old! JENNY: Would you mind waiting for a moment please? MIKE: So, what do you think? 1

2 PETER: They look nice. They'll have a great time with Tracy, won't they? MIKE: The time of their lives, I expect. TRACY: I need young, gorgeous foster parents. I've told Elaine... JENNY: One, they have no intention of being foster parents. Two, they don't deserve this treatment and three, older people can be very kind and understanding. TRACY: You mean kind like grandparents? JENNY: I suppose... TRACY: I've always wanted kind grandparents! JENNY: That's not what I mean! TRACY: Who'll spoil me rotten and buy me anything I want! TRACY: Shall we be off? PETER: Tracy! TRACY: Bye. JENNY: Bye. Good luck. JENNY: Oh, you're back early. Have a good time? TRACY: Yep. JILL: Lovely. She's a... lively girl. TERRY: Bundle of energy. TRACY: See you Saturday, then? JENNY: Is everything all right? JENNY: Come and have a chat in my office. TRACY: This is all I have left from the tons of chocolate and crisps they bought me before I went on their yacht. JUSTINE: Liar! TRACY: Am not! JUSTINE: You got seasick on the five-minute ferry to camp! 2

3 LOUISE: Then what did you do? TRACY: Oh, the ordinary stuff...the fairground... TRACY: The man who rides the wall of death had a headache so I stepped in. I broke the world record, so they let me have free rides on everything...and as many as I wanted. It was brilliant. TRACY: Grrrr!! Then we went on the really scary rides. TRACY: Oh, come on. Hurry up! JILL: Terry, slow down. JENNY: Yes, Elaine I am aware it's Saturday, but some things need to be sorted now. Okay. Bye. Right, all arranged. We'll have a chat with the social worker and work out what's best for everyone. Will you be able to pop back in later in the day? JILL: Mmm. TERRY: Yes. MIKE: Hello, we thought you'd like a cup of tea. This is Peter. JILL: Thank you. TERRY: Very kind of you, Peter. PETER: My Nan says there's nothing like a cup of tea when you're tired. JILL: She's right. PETER: She's dead. JILL: Oh! MIKE: We'll er, allow you to enjoy it. Excuse us. JENNY: I'm only saying that Tracy might not have been right for the Browns. ELAINE: You're questioning my judgement - as usual. JENNY: This is not about you and me, Elaine. MIKE: What we mean is, Tracy... ELAINE: I think I know best what Tracy needs. She needs someone mature, peaceful, someone who can help calm her passionate nature. 3

4 MIKE: What Tracy Beaker needs someone who can outrun her. JENNY: And outsmart her. ELAINE: It's up to the Browns to decide whether or not they continue with Tracy. And I, for one, will be doing my best to encourage them... JENNY: Can't you just listen for a minute?! ELAINE: I'm a very good listener. It's my job. JENNY: We're trying to tell you that we might have a child here who would be perfect for the Browns. ELAINE: Who? MIKE: Peter. TRACY: How dare you steal my Grandparents! PETER: Eh? TRACY: I was training them to be perfect and now they're getting you instead! I bet you smarmed all over them! PETER: I only gave them a cup of tea! TRACY: You worm! Now there're probably going to foster you 'cos you're such a sweetysweety goody-goody sucky-crawly insect! PETER: I don't want anyone to foster me! TRACY: You don't? PETER: No! I've only just got used to it here. TRACY: I've got it! All your worries are over. If I can train them, I can train you! PETER: You can? TRACY: By the time I'm finished, Frankenstein won't even want to foster you! TRACY: It's not hard...trust me, Peter. There's nothing to it once you get started. TRACY: Welcome to the wonderful world of Baaaaaaaad! PETER: I don't know how to be bad. I can't do it! TRACY: Yes you can. And if you want to stay my friend, you'd better. Right? 4

5 PETER: A-a-all right. TRACY: Mow, get out there, champ, and make me proud of you. MIKE: Tracy! Louise! Maxy! You'll miss your lunch! RYAN: I didn't get a banana one. PETER: Here have mine. RYAN: Thanks. PETER: No! Wait! I didn't mean it! JUSTINE: I didn't get a banana one either. JUSTINE: What are you going to do about it, dung beetle? PETER: This, warty-head. RYAN: Good one, Pete! MIKE: What do you think you're doing?! Apologise! PETER: No! I wont! MIKE: OW! MIKE: I'm gonna start asking for danger money! ELAINE: Oh, I might have an application form in my bag... MIKE: I was joking, Elaine. ELAINE: Is he under proper supervision at the moment? MIKE: Supervision? Peter? Lighten up! JENNY: It's completely out of character. He's as good as gold again. DUKE: Peter! DUKE: Stop it! Will you please stop it now. Peter! PETER: I'm the champion of bad! I'm badder than Tracy Beaker! MIKE: Peter! What's got in to you? Stop it. JENNY: Badder than who? 5

6 JENNY: This has got Tracy Beaker written all over it. Tracy! PETER: I'm dead meat. JENNY: So, all this was to put the Browns off Peter? TRACY: They're mine, not his! ELAINE: I'm not sure they're going to be able to take you out again, Tracy. TRACY: They don't like me? JENNY: It's not that they don't like you... ELAINE: It's just a question of people being suitable... TRACY: I can make them suitable! I'm already training them! ELAINE: What I'm saying, Tracy is that I might have made a mistake. They're just not up to someone as lively as you. TRACY: That's not fair! I saw them first! TRACY: I hope you're happy, slug! I hope you and the Browns live happyily ever after in slimy-slug land! PETER: They won't want me - I'm bad! TRACY: You couldn't be bad if your name was Darth Vader! PETER: I tried my best! TRACY: You can't be bad like normal people 'cos you spent your whole life being good for your smelly Nana! PETER: Shut up about my Nan. TRACY: Shall I get you some tea, Nana? Shall I rub your feet, Nana?! PETER: Shut up about my Nan! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! MIKE: Ow! Oh! Ow! JILL: Em, you wanted us to pop round? ELAINE: Ah, yes. Would you just hold on a moment please? PETER: Leave me aloooooonnnnneee! 6

7 TERRY: Maybe we should go. TRACY: What you doing? PETER: Get back or I'll throw it! MIKE: Pete, you don't want to break something that's so precious. JENNY: Peter, that's the only picture Tracy has of her Mum. PETER: I hate you Tracy Beaker! TRACY: Noooo...! TERRY: It's alright. TRACY: Thank you! ELAINE: Would you like to come into the office? JENNY: Alright, come on now. JILL: I hope Tracy doesn't feel bad about us not taking her out again. ELAINE: Oh, no. JENNY: We'll look after her. TRACY: It's time we had a little chat. ELAINE: This is a private conversation. TRACY: Okay, I'll shut the door, then! JILL: Tracy, you're a lovely girl, but... TRACY: And you're very nice too, but I'm afraid I can't let you take me out again. ELAINE: Tracy, I insist...ow!! TRACY: I know you're disappointed, but I have to be honest, I've had better pushes on the swings from Maxy. You're just not up to it, are you? TERRY: Well, I suppose, it was... TRACY: So I've decided you can take out Peter instead. TERRY: The boy that caused all the trouble? 7

8 TRACY: No, that was just a test I set him. JILL: Oh, I don't think... TRACY: I know. I've tried my best with him but he just can't grasp the concept of being bad. He's pathetic. Jenny'll tell you. JENNY: Hopeless. PETER: I didn't mean it. MIKE: I know. PETER: Tracy will never speak to me again. MIKE: She gets over things quickly. TRACY: There he is, the boy who gave bad a bad name. TRACY: And if he doesn't let you take him out, I'll have to think of something really... interesting to do to him. TRACY: And he knows how bad that would be 'cos he's my best friend. TERRY: No harm in trying. JILL: Would you like to? Would you like to come out with us sometime? TERRY: He might not like the look of us. PETER: I do! TRACY: Well then? JENNY: Nice one, Tracy Beaker. 8
