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.
CAM: But you're so much better at it than me. If I go on my own, I'll end up living in some damp, smelly, hovel. Please, Tracy. Pretty please?
TRACY: You're just not going to give up, are you?
CAM: And this is the last room...SO, what d'you think?
Don't you like it?
TRACY: It's got nothing to do with me.
CAM: It's got everything to do with you, Tracy. It's your new bedroom.
TRACY: For weekends?
CAM: For always. If you want it to be.
TRACY: Cam!!!
I love it! I absolutely love it! It's the best bedroom anyone could have in their whole life ever!
MARTHA: You two seem happy.
TRACY: We are. My foster mother and I have decided - we'll take the flat.
ADELE: Oi! Trace! Come and finish your bit.
TRACY: Sorry, Adele, I've just got soooooo much packing to do!
Cam's finally going to foster me!!!
CAM: It's true!
JENNY: That's fantastic!
DUKE: Come here!
TRACY: I can't believe it! I'm finally getting out of the Dumping Ground!
TRACY OOV: It's going to be better than even I can dream it...
LOUISE: Bye Tracy, don't forget to write! 7 Over to You 2003/2004 The Story of Tracy Beaker 26 Programnr:: 21305tv26
RYAN: See you, Trace.
MIKE: Bye, bye, gorgeous. Have a great time. Go on.
ELAINE: Good luck.
TRACY: This is the bit in the fairy tale where they say: "and they lived happily ever after."
TRACY: But do they?
