DUKE: Yep, it's stuck again.

ZAC: Can't we get a new one?

RYAN: If we get a DVD, Ben can lend us a million movies.

DUKE: Well perhaps next year's budget...

JUSTINE: That is so not fair! Dumping ground kids are last to get everything.

DUKE: Well, when I was a kid we made our own entertainment.

RYAN: You can't make a DVD player with two baked bean tins and a bit of string, Duke.

TRACY: We could make money and buy one!

DUKE: I don't need my car washing!

TRACY: Not chores. A sale. We could sell things that we don't want and buy a DVD player!

JUSTINE: I don't have anything I don't want.

LOUISE: Me neither.

TRACY: Well, I'm going to bring heaps and heaps of stuff. Which means you won't be able to watch movies on my new DVD player.

RYAN: Is that all you brought!?

JUSTINE: Well, let's see what you brought. Urgh.

ZAC: I need this.

RYAN: Well at least Tracy's bringing heaps.

TRACY: Grrr!

JENNY: What on earth do you think you're doing?

TRACY: I need stuff for our sale!

TRACY: Imagine, and you still don't know where the notes are.

MIKE: Hey! Oh, not nice, eh? D'you know, we always meant to take you kids on a camping trip so we could sing for you round the camp fire. You'd have loved that.

TRACY: Sure. You bring the guitar, I'll bring the marshmallows.

MIKE: High on a hill was a lonely goatherd...yodelay, yodelay yodelay he ho. Loud was the sound of the lonely goatherd...yodelay, yodelay, yodelooo. Folks in a town that was quite remote heard...yodelay, yodelay....

JENNY: This is going to be Mike's last day here at Stowey House.

MIKE: I'm sorry it's so sudden, guys. Nobody knew until the last minute.

JENNY: We're all going to miss Mike, but this is a great opportunity for him, so lets all wish him lots of luck, eh?

BEN: Great. We should get quite a bit for that.

TRACY: Sell it cheap, it's rubbish.

DUKE: Roll up, roll up! Bargains galore! Oh, come on everybody. We might make enough money to get a remote control.

JUSTINE: I don't care about the DVD any more. I only wish Mike was staying.

LOUISE: Me too.

RYAN: Then why don't we use the money we make to get him a going away present?

LOUISE: What will we get him?

RYAN: Oh, I don't know. Something that will remind him of us forever.

ZAC: Duke?

DUKE: Yeah?

ZAC: Can you sell them together, I wouldn't want them to split up. They're kind of a family.

TRACY: Oh, very clever.

MIKE: Look, about my leaving, they just didn't give any time to...

TRACY: Is this the face of someone who cares?

MIKE: I care if you're upset.

TRACY: You get paid to care, Mr Care Worker, I don't.

MIKE: Ouch!

TRACY: Oh, and don't bother begging me to forgive you cos I'm not listening.

TRACY: Oh, are you still here?

MIKE: You really don't care about me, huh?

TRACY: Watch my lips.

MIKE: Oh!

I'm really sorry! I do care and I didn't mean to hurt you!

MIKE: Heh-heh. Gotcha!

Alright! Okay! Forgiven?

TRACY: Just when you get used to things everything changes.

MIKE: Well y'know sometimes change can be good, it makes life interesting, anyway.

TRACY: So you're leaving us because we're boring and you want a change?

MIKE: You're definitely not boring. Look, if someone moves on, it doesn't mean they're going to forget you.

TRACY: Everyone forgets dumping ground kids.

MIKE: I won't, I promise.

DUKE: It's for a good cause...£2.50...

MIKE: Well, that's it except for the guitar. You didn't see where I left it, did you?

TRACY: Do the kids at the new place a favour and leave it behind.

MIKE: No way. I wasn't kidding when I said I loved it, y'know.

TRACY: Let it go. You've got all the memories!

MIKE: I've also got the guitar. It must be upstairs.

TRACY: Who bought the guitar?

ZAC: What guitar?

TRACY: Mike's old one! Who bought it?

RYAN: That went ages ago. Who cares?

JUSTINE: You didn't even bring anything special to the sale, Tracy Beaker.

TRACY: Yes I did.

TRACY: You know what you said about moving on?

MIKE: What?

TRACY: Guess what? Guitars do it too!

MIKE: Hah! Very funny.

TRACY: I just helped it on its way a bit.

MIKE: What are you talking about?

TRACY: I gave it to the sale. Goodbye old guitar!

MIKE: But... I told you how much that guitar means to me.

TRACY: Change is a good thing! Have you ever considered the harmonica? Or the comb and paper?

MIKE: I didn't realise that you were that angry with me for leaving. You got me back real good.

TRACY: Yeah, well, I'm the champ. Forgiven?

MIKE: It's no big deal. It's only a guitar, hmm? 7 Over to You 2003/2004 The Story of Tracy Beaker 25 Programnr:: 21305tv25

DUKE: You'd better make your mind up what you're going to buy him, the hops will be shut in half an hour.

TRACY: I know what he needs more than anything.

JUSTINE: She's not coming, she didn't even help!

TRACY: But I don't need to come.

ZAC: Don't listen to her.

TRACY: I'll do everybody's chores for a week...

ZAC: That's not much.

TRACY: Okay, I'll give you all my pocket money for a month, if you'll just listen to me for a minute!

JUSTINE: All your pocket money?

RYAN: We're listening.

MIKE: Who likes anchovies and who likes pepperoni? I was thinking about treating everyone to a pizza tonight.

TRACY: No-one likes anchovies, Mike. Maxy likes pineapple, Justine likes pepperoni and Ryan just likes more.

MIKE: Right.

TRACY: If you're going to be top man at this new place you better learn what the kids like.

MIKE: I'm really sorry I had to spring my leaving on you so fast.

TRACY: And I'm sorry I sent your guitar away.

MIKE: It's alright. I'll get over that.

TRACY: Me too.

MIKE: Wish me luck?

TRACY: Luck.

JENNY: To Mike.

ALL: To Mike.
