:43:02
Who were they, then?
:43:04
Who?
:43:05
What do you mean, "Who?"
:43:06
The ones
trying to embed sweets into your skull.

:43:09
Oh, them.
:43:10
They're just a couple of older kids.
They started following me after school.

:43:14
Does this happen often?
:43:16
They never chucked sweets before,
they just thought of that.

:43:19
I'm not talking about the sweets.
The kids trying to kill you.

:43:22
Yeah, they give me a hard time.
:43:24
You know, about my hair,
and my clothes and singing and stuff.

:43:28
And what? And singing?
:43:31
Sometimes I sing out loud without noticing.
:43:34
That's not a brilliant idea, is it?
:43:36
I said I did it without noticing, didn't I?
It just happens!

:43:40
I'm not going to do it on purpose, am I?
I'm not stupid, you know.

:43:44
My advice is to keep out of people's way.
Try to make yourself invisible.

:43:48
How can I be invisible?
:43:49
One machine in your kitchen
is an invisible machine?

:43:52
I don't think so.
:43:55
I just try not to think of it, that's all.
:43:59
It happens, and I wish it didn't,
but that's life, isn't it?

:44:05
There's nothing I can do about it.
:44:10
No.
:44:13
There is something we can do about it, Marcus.
:44:17
You're coming with me.
:44:19
I was worried he was going to take me
to the headmistress' office.

:44:24
But instead he took me shopping.
:44:25
I don't get it.
:44:27
We're starting with your feet.
:44:28
I can't make you invisible,
but I can make you blend in with the crowd.

:44:33
I don't know how to tie them.
They've got these funny strappy things.

:44:36
It's called Velcro.
:44:38
It's a revolutionary new techno!ogy.
:44:43
For Christ's sake. It's not hard.
:44:48
All right, wait a minute, it is a bit hard.
:44:50
-Everything all right?
-Yeah, thanks.

:44:54
Pretty trendy, your old man, isn't he?
