"Glad you and your boyfriend are finished." "Hope you washed your hands, and your genitals!" " I'm not gay." " Hmm..." "So you were showing each other your cocks because?" "We were just..." "looking..." "At each other's cocks." "It's a perfect..." "Oh!" "It's a perfectly natural, everyday part of being a gay man." "It's like window shopping." "(WHISPERS) Window shopping."

"I bought my first Superman comic when I was five." "And after that I was hooked." "My life was so boring and normal." "Suddenly there were all these incredible people with these amazing powers doing incredible things." "I used to spend hours making up stories, doing the artwork."

"You've got a twin brother?" "Well, nowt's getting past you, is it, today?" "Check out the big brains on probation worker, here!" "Why's he wearing a jumpsuit?" "Because... sometimes..." "I do my community service, sometimes he does it." "We like to mix things up." "Keeps it interesting." "This isn't a job share." "Whoever does the crime does the boring mindless shit." "I have a question, right." "What if we're conjoined twins, yeah, with our heads - they're all mashed together- and we go out on the town for a few beers." "Some bloke sees us and he's like," ""Oi, you two-headed fuck."" "And he flips out, goes mental and batters the guy." "Who does the community service, then?" "Cos they are conjoined." "Like, one massive head... but with two personalities." "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it." "All right." "I'm going to pretend like I never saw this, because I really can't be arsed." "Just make sure one of you turns up." "Oh, man!" "That's insane." "The old conjoined twins mind-fuck, works every time, doesn't it?" "What you doing?" "I'm just talking to Peter." "Why?" "What do you mean?" "Why were you talking to him?" "He's my friend." "He's your friend?" "I do have friends, you know." "Yeah, I know, I didn't mean it like that." "Well, what you doing later?" "I'm going to hang out with Peter." "OK." "I was gonna see some friends anyway, so..." "You have a secret lair?" "This is totally superhero." "How did you find this place?" "I didn't find it." "It was my future self, he lived here." "You have a future self?" "Tell me everything!" "He's chasing Alisha through the warehouse." "He catches her and he's pointing a gun at her." "I'm just waiting up on the roof." "I jump as he pulls the trigger." "I die saving her." "You die?" "Well, if you know it's going to happen, why don't you wear a bullet-proof vest?" "Because if the future me doesn't die, she'll never fall in love with me as I was then, in the present." "And if she doesn't fall in love with me, I'll never become my future self." "And if I don't become him," "I won't be able to save her, and she'll never fall in love with me." "It all has to happen, exactly like it happened." "It's my destiny." "That is so fucking cool." "What are you doing?" "Why is that out?" "I was just showing it to Peter." " You told him?" " It was Peter I saved from the mugger." "He recognised me." "What, so you just tell him everything?" "It's OK, I won't tell anyone." "This has got nothing to do with you." "Can you just leave?" "Go!" "I think you should probably go." "ALISHA:" "Why are you telling him all this stuff?" "SIMON:" "He's my friend." "ALISHA:" "He's not your friend, you only just met him!" "We've talked about this!" "I don't want to see that fucking suit ever again." "Do you want any toast?" "I have to face my destiny alone." "OK, is that before or after you have breakfast?" "Being a superhero is a heavy burden." "So now you're calling yourself a superhero?" "Right." "I have to terminate our relationship." "What?" "Why are you talking like that?" "I have to sacrifice our love for the greater good." "What the fuck has got into you, where's all this coming from?" "Goodbye, Alisha." "Where are you going, you can't just walk away." "Simon!" "What the fuck are you doing?" "One day, you'll come to see that I did it all for you." "Simon, wait!" "Simon?" "What did he say, exactly?" "He was talking shit." "Like, saying we can't be together." "Everything was fine, it's like it's just come out of nowhere." "What's going on, you all right?" "Her and Simon have split up." "What?" "I thought you two were well loved up." " Yeah, so did I." " RUDY:" "Oh..." "Oh." "What?" "I can't, I can't tell you." "Tell me what?" "The other day I walked in on Simon, shy, stealing-handbag kid, they were in the toilet..." "I can't tell you!" "Can't!" "What is it?" "They were showing each other their cocks." "That's bullshit." "No, I think I know what two blokes in a public toilet look like, showing each other their knobs." "All I'm saying is maybe your boyfriend is a proud, beautiful gay man." "He likes to rub and touch other men's penises..." "No, he's not gay, he's the best shag I ever had." "Oh, just pretend I'm not here, yeah?" "You know, I've got a lot more control since." "That was my first time," "I'm in full control of me ejaculate now." "All blokes say that." "Next thing you know, you've got come all over your face and in your hair." "That's a lovely image." "He's not gay!" "I'm not saying you turned him, but maybe you did." "You're deflecting, it's all right, take it out on your Uncle Rudy." "Do it!" "Jesus"." "What the fuck is your problem?" " She's deflecting." " RUDY:" "Jesus!" "Did he tell you he split up with me?" "I'm sure you're really happy about that." "You've got your little friend all to yourself now." "Being a superhero and having a girlfriend..." "They don't mix." "They never have." "Very few superheroes have successful relationships." "He's not a superhero." "He's my boyfriend." "He was your boyfriend." "Fuck you, you little prick!" "What's that?" "Are you obsessed with him or something?" " What else have you got here?" " Get off!" "What is this?" "Have you done something to him?" "What's going on?" "The kid from yesterday, I think he's done something to Simon. # "Can you feel it coming?" # "Woo!" "Can you feel it coming?"" "Where's Alisha?"

" Are you for real?" "Sure you don't want a little pink umbrella in it?" "What's wrong with gin and tonic?" "It's what my nan drinks." "Well, maybe me and your nan should go out some time." "Cheers." "The last bloke she was seeing fell over and broke his hip." "She's on the market." "What about you?" "I'm not seeing anyone." "How about you?" "I'll tell my nan you're available." "You do that." "(DOOR OPENS)" "What's going on?" "The usual shit." "I don't know what I did with my life before these powers came along." "You probably hung out in bars, drinking expensive French lager, talking to good-looking guys." "Something like that." "ALISHA:" "Kelly." "Thanks for the drink." "Any time." "You made Simon break up with me, didn't you?" "I had to." "You don't understand." "It all has to happen." "We ain't debating it with you." "It's over." "Yeah, so you either play ball, or you play hardball." "What does that even mean?" "Hardball." "It's like a threat, isn't it?" "I'm threatening him with physical..." "Whoa!" "I don't want to hurt you, but I fucking will." "It all has to happen like this." "Where the fuck have you been the past few weeks?" "Who's he?" "He's this guy." "He shows up sometimes and helps us out with shit." "Right." "Well, it's nice to meet you, man." "I'm Rudy and I'm new." "Doesn't say much, does he?" "Now you're here, you can help us kick the shit out of that little prick." "Kelly, don't." "Just leave it, yeah?" " You're protecting him now, yeah?" " This is bullshit." "Come here." "What the fuck just happened?" "I thought he was supposed to be on our side?" "I have never even met the guy!" "I am..." "I am..." "I am new." "I don't know what's going on." "What's going on?"

"It's the probation worker." "The probation worker?" "Yeah, cos that would be fucking ridiculous, wouldn't it, eh?" "Because he wouldn't piss on us if we were on fire, and if he was really desperate..." "for a piss." "Well, it's definitely not him, is it?" "D'you want to stay over at mine?" "Maybe we should all stay over?" "Fuck off." "Another time maybe." "KELLY:" "I'll have to pick that up later." "Pick it up, then." "Seriously?" "Use a bin." "Sorry." "Sorry that I had to leave the other night." "Maybe we could do it again some other time?" "Um, I'm kinda busy." "What?" "You're busy all the time?" "Look, I can't see you like that."
