Here's my last scrap of dignity. Enjoy it.
1:01:05
I want to go out with her. Okay?
1:01:07
I'd like her to be my girlfriend. There, I said it.
1:01:09
Brilliant! Why didn't you just say that?
1:01:12
I don't know.
1:01:14
I was embarrassed or something,
'cause this is a bit new for me.

1:01:18
I just met her, her name's Rachel. She's sort of...
1:01:20
There's this girl at school. Ellie.
1:01:22
I kind of want her to be my girlfriend.
1:01:24
I'm not exactly sure.
1:01:26
I've been meaning to ask you.
1:01:27
What's the difference between
a girl who's your friend and a girlfriend?

1:01:31
Well, I don't know.
1:01:35
Do you want to touch her?
1:01:37
Is that so important?
1:01:39
Yeah, you've heard about sex, right?
1:01:40
It is kind of a big deal.
1:01:42
I know. I'm not stupid.
1:01:45
I just can't believe there's nothing more to it.
1:01:47
I mean, like, I want to be with her more.
I want to be with her all the time.

1:01:51
And I want to tell her things
I don't even tell you or Mum.

1:01:54
And I don't want her to have another boyfriend.
1:01:56
If I could have all those things...
1:01:58
...I wouldn't really mind if I touched her or not.
1:02:02
Well, you'll learn, Marcus.
1:02:05
You won't feel like that forever.
1:02:11
Okay, how do I look?
1:02:13
Good. How do I look?
1:02:17
Just be as normal as you can, okay?
1:02:20
Good advice for Marcus.
1:02:22
I wish I could have followed it.
1:02:24
I'm sorry it's such a mess.
1:02:26
That's where I work.
1:02:29
My mouth was dry
and my palms sweating.

1:02:32
I didn't know what the hell was happening to me.
1:02:34
...manage to tidy up. Ali?
1:02:37
All I could do was stand there,
grinning like an idiot.

1:02:40
-Should we just go upstairs?
-Sure. Okay.

1:02:45
Ali.
1:02:47
Marcus.
1:02:49
Marcus.
1:02:50
Ali.
1:02:52
You're in my year at school.
1:02:55
Really? Yeah, I think I've seen you around.
1:02:58
Great!
1:02:59
Then you guys'll have a lot to talk about.
