Over to You 2003/2004 The Story of Tracy Beaker 26 Programnr:: 21305tv26 THE STORY OF TRACY BEAKER EPISODE 26 Based on the book by Jacqueline Wilson Broadcast: 20 November, 2003 JENNY: So, no-one's got anything to say about this? TRACY: A bit of yellow might have brightened it up. JENNY: There's nothing funny about graffiti, Tracy. And if I find that you... TRACY: I've gotta go. JENNY: Tracy! I haven't finished. TRACY: But I have! I'm going out with Cam for the day... TRACY OOV: ...and you can't stop me getting out of this dump...I'll easily escape you... TRACY: Quick, Cam...drive! CAM: But I haven't said hello to Jenny yet. TRACY: Cam's phone. No, she's not here. Martha Leach from Ellis and Leach, yeah, I'll tell her. Are you the estate agent? Of course she wants to see the flats. All of them. TRACY OOV: I can just imagine the kind of place we're going to pick... TRACY: It's a surprise, isn't it?! CAM: What? TRACY: You're moving, so you'll have more space for me! CAM: No, I'm moving, 'cos the people who own my flat are coming back. LOUISE: I wonder who did it? MAXY: It wasn't me! RYAN: It might not have been any of us. You're lucky you're leaving, at least you won't get accused every time something bad happens. 1 Over to You 2003/2004 The Story of Tracy Beaker 26 Programnr:: 21305tv26 ADELE: Yeah. ZAC: Are you getting nervous about living on your own? ADELE: I can't wait. CAM: You shouldn't have gone through my bag. TRACY: Your phone was ringing! Look, come on, we're meeting the estate agent in ten minutes. CAM: Oh, Tracy! I told her I couldn't look at anything today. TRACY: You've got to let me come. CAM: No, it wouldn't be fair. Look, this really isn't about you moving in with me. TRACY: Okay, don't go on. But I still want to come and look at them with you. Please, Cam! Pretty please? CAM: You can be as cute as you like, girl, it is not going to happen. CAM: And I do the talking, okay? I don't want you getting lippy with the estate agent. TRACY: Me? Lippy? TRACY OOV: ...I shall be on my very best behaviour. You'll be able to introduce me... TRACY OOV: ...as your perfect foster daughter... ...a lovely quiet girl, who never shows you up in public. TRACY: Let's hope you're better at choosing flats, than you are at turning up on time. CAM: Tracy. TRACY: Shall we go in? MARTHA: Right... JUSTINE: I wish I could draw like that. DUKE: But the front door's not the right place for it. LOUISE: Why do people do graffiti? 2 Over to You 2003/2004 The Story of Tracy Beaker 26 Programnr:: 21305tv26 ADELE: Maybe they want to make their mark. MAXY: Like when dogs wee on a lamp post? ADELE: Something like that - but with pictures. MARTHA: So...that's everything. I'll, er, leave you to look round on your own. TRACY: She's only being smiley 'cos she wants you to take the flat. I've seen Elaine the Pain pull that one hundreds of times. CAM: Tracy! I quite like this place. TRACY: We don't want to live somewhere like this! CAM: "We?" MAXY: Jenny...before I leave, can I wee on a lamp post? JENNY: What d'you want to wee on a lamp post for, Maxy? MAXY: To make a mark. So you don't forget me. MARTHA: So......what do we think? CAM: "We" think I like it. TRACY: Would you still like it, if it had damp? CAM: Well, no... MARTHA: I can assure you, Cam, there's no... ...damp. CAM: How did you know that was there? TRACY: The wallpaper's bubbly. CAM: Sorry, Martha. It's a no. MARTHA: It's nothing a roll of wallpaper won't... Right. Shall we move on to the next property? CAM: Hey, how d'you know all that stuff? TRACY: Mum and I moved around a lot. You get to know what to look for. JENNY: Adele's leaving soon. And something that Maxy said, made me realise that when she's gone, we won't have anything to remember 3 Over to You 2003/2004 The Story of Tracy Beaker 26 Programnr:: 21305tv26 her by. So we want you to come up with some ideas for how we can remember you, once you've left. JUSTINE: Like movie stars putting their hands in concrete? DUKE: That's the idea. Adele, me and Jenny thought you should be project leader. ADELE: Cool. JENNY: Give us a shout when you've got something. ADELE: I have got a wicked idea. MARTHA:...and I guarantee there's no damp. Let's start in the kitchen, shall we? TRACY: "And I guarantee there is no damp". Don't be taken in by Mrs Smiley. ADELE: ...and then we draw round each other to get the shape, everyone adds in their own detail and we end up with a mural that's a really good record of who's been here. JENNY: And we can add to it, as more kids come and go. DUKE: A commemorative mural. How posh are we? TRACY: I'm sorry, it's no good. Next? CAM: Tracy - I like this flat. TRACY: My bedroom's miles too small. We need something bigger. CAM: That's not your bedroom. It's going to be my study. TRACY: Cam's going to foster me any day now, so we need a place with big second bedrooms. With a sweet shop next door. Do you have anything like that? MARTHA: Um... CAM: We are not looking for places with big second bedrooms, because a) I still haven't decided whether I'm fostering you and b) I can't afford it. TRACY: Yes, course you can. You'll get money for looking after me, that'll make up the difference. MARTHA: Um...I'll be in here, if you want me. 4 Over to You 2003/2004 The Story of Tracy Beaker 26 Programnr:: 21305tv26 CAM: Look, I can't take on the extra expense of a larger flat, because of something that might happen in the future. TRACY: Well, decide about it now, then. You've had ages to think it through. CAM: I still need more time. TRACY: How much more? Months? Years? How d'you think I feel, you're stringing me along all the time? CAM: It's not like that, Tracy. TRACY: I'll just get Martha to foster me then. It's obvious she hates kids, but at least I'd have a home. 'Cos I'm not going to get one with you. Am I? I want to go back to the Dumping Ground. CAM: Oh, Tracy! Wait! JENNY: Oh, have you got any small change? ADELE: Jenny, I.... JENNY: Y'know, it's funny, if someone hadn't done graffiti on our door, you'd never have come up with the idea for our commemorative mural. DUKE: Keep still, Maxy. MAXY: It tickles! TRACY: You're mean! You're cruel! And you're nasty! DUKE: Ryan, finish Maxy, would you? CAM: Tracy, wait! TRACY: I've waited long enough. And if I never set my eyes on you EVER again, that'll be ten years too soon! DUKE: What's happened? CAM: Oh, we had a huge bust up about me fostering her. DUKE: Let's go inside... CAM: I can't. I need some time to think. TRACY: Bog off. 5 Over to You 2003/2004 The Story of Tracy Beaker 26 Programnr:: 21305tv26 DUKE: Come here, Sweetheart! TRACY: That's it, isn't it? I'm going to be stuck here forever... TRACY OOV: ...People will stop noticing me and then one day I'll disappear all together.... DUKE: I know there's a family out there for you, Tracy. TRACY: You're starting to sound like Elaine the Pain. DUKE: Sorry. You'll have to eat a lot more spinach, before you can shove me. D'you want to borrow me sticky tape? CAM: Um, sorry...are you busy? ELAINE: Yes! Um...no, er...is it...is everything alright? CAM: No, not really. I've come to a decision - about Tracy. ELAINE: Er....come in. TRACY: I really thought you were going to be the one to rescue me. TRACY OOV: I don't know what will happen to me - I really thought this time you would come and save me..... LOUISE: Come and join in with the painting. It's not right without you. We've left you a space......next to me. Hay fever? TRACY: It's the smell of the paint. JENNY: Hi. CAM: Hi. JENNY: Heard you and Tracy had a row. CAM: Yeah, I've come to make it up to her......if she'll let me. JENNY: Well, I'll leave you to it. CAM: Tracy, can I have a word? TRACY: Have two: bog off! 6 Over to You 2003/2004 The Story of Tracy Beaker 26 Programnr:: 21305tv26 CAM: I need your help. CAM: I'm really sorry about this morning. I didn't mean to upset you. Would you come and have a look at another flat with me? TRACY: Forget it.
