LEAH:
What a beautiful day. LEAH TAKES A DEEP BREATH. 2.
LEAH (CONT.):
If you want to jog ahead that’s ok. Bubs and I will take it easy. 3.
JESSE:
No, I’ll stay with you for a little bit longer. (pause) I went to see Hayley last night. I’m concerned for her. 4.
LEAH:
Why’s that? 5.
JESSE:
Oh well, she’s just been acting kinda weird. I can’t quite pin it down, but somehow I just don’t think she’s coping with her accident very well.

Page 2 Sc. 1 6.
LEAH:
Poor thing. She’s been through so much. Well you know, I’m happy to continue taking over her shifts at the gym til she gets better. 7.
JESSE:
The sooner she gets back into the swing of things, the better for her. Thankfully, she has agreed to come back to work soon. 8.
LEAH:
(sulking) Oh! But I was just getting the hang of it. 9.
JESSE:
Besides, I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to keep at it, considering your condition. 10.
LEAH:
Oh no, I’m alright. Just a bit of morning sickness – never hurt anybody. (to Bubs) You’re just not making it very easy on Mummy, are you sweetie? JESSE LOOKS CONCERNED REGARDING LEAH’S COMMENT TO BUBS.
Ep. 3702

LEAH:
I can still do them. Besides, we don’t want to rush her back into work if she’s not ready… LEAH AND JESSE HAVE REACHED THE SURF CLUB WHERE ALF IS SETTING UP TABLES OUTSIDE. 12.
LEAH (CONT.):
Morning Alf! 13.
JESSE:
14.
ALF:
Hi Alf.
Morni… Struth! You’re nearly the size of a bus! ALF NUDGES JESSE. THEY LAUGH. 15.
JESSE:
Yeah I’m a little worried she’s outdoing herself at the gym, but you know how stubborn she is. LEAH POKES JESSE IN THE GUT PLAYFULLY. THEY LAUGH. 16.
JESSE (CONT.):
Well if you’ll excuse me Alf, I was just about to head off for a run. (to Leah) I’ll catch up with you later.
Ep. 3702
Page 4 Sc. 1 KIM RUNS UP TO THE SURF CLUB IN HIS SPEEDOS, DRYING HIMSELF OFF IN THE BACKGROUND. LEAH HAS A GOOD PERVE. ALF NOTICES HIM TOO. 17.
ALF:
You know, you should really listen to Jesse. You don’t want to bite off more than you can chew… do you Leah? LEAH’S TOO BUSY PERVING ON KIM TO HEAR ALF. ALF LAUGHS. 18.
LEAH:
Huh, what? Hey, just coz I’m on a diet doesn’t mean I can’t look at the menu! ALF AND LEAH SHARE A GIGGLE. 19.
ALF:
If you’ll excuse me young Leah, I have some business to attend to. ALF NODS IN KIM’S DIRECTION. 20.
LEAH:
Yeah I might head off too. Gotta give my little Bubs his daily exercise! Bye Alf.

Hi Alf.
Say, ah, have you got your life saving certificates? 24.
KIM:
Yeah I do. Why do you want to know? 25.
ALF:
How would you like a job as a life guard?… part-time of course. 26.
KIM:
Yeah that sounds great! But what’s wrong with full-time? ALF IS SUPRISED. 27.
ALF:
What about school? END SCENE CU KIM’S FACE. 1.40

Kids! Breakfast is ready! MAX IS ON THE STAIRS PUTTING ON HIS SHOES. HENRY COMES DOWN AND STANDS OVER HIM. 2.
HENRY:
Max! Max! I had the worst dream last night! 3.
MAX:
What was it? 4.
HENRY:
I dreamt that Hyde caught us, locked us up in the school dungeon and cut us open with his cane! MAX VERY WORRIED. 5.
MAX:
Do you think he knows it was us who pulled those pranks? 6.
HENRY:
I don’t know. And I don’t want to find out either! I think we should just stay away from him.

MAX:
But how? MAX AND HENRY RUN UPSTAIRS AS ROBBIE RUNS DOWN. 8.

JADE:
Wait for me! JADE HOPS OUT THE DOOR. 10.
BETH:
Jade, what about your breakfa… (sigh) Boys?!? BETH LEFT HOLDING A PAN AND A WOODEN SPOON ALONE IN THE KITCHEN. BOYS ARE SITTING ON THE STAIRS IN THEIR PYJAMAS, PUTTING RED DOTS ALL OVER THEIR BODY, FACE AND ARMS WITH A RED TEXTA. THEY WALK INTO THE KITCHEN. 11.

Boys, why are you still in your pyjamas?
Ep. 3702

MAX:
We’re not feeling well. 13.
BETH:
Let me take a look… oh dear, you’re burning up. BETH INSPECTS THE BOYS BODIES AND SEES THE RED DOTS, AND LOOKS CONCERNED. 14.
BETH:
I don’t understand, you’ve both had the measles… maybe it’s scarlet fever. 15.
HENRY:
Whatever it is, we better not go to school… it might be contagious! 16.

Hmmm, yes, I think I might take you to see Flynn. 0.50

I’m sorry Flynn. I hated sleeping alone. 2.
FLYNN:
Well, looks like we’ve had our first official fight! 3.
SALLY:
(playfully) Fight? We’re just establishing some rules. 4.
FLYNN:
(slightly bitter) Rules? You’re starting to sound like Hyde. This is our home remember. SALLY IS SLIGHTLY HURT. SHE JUST WANTS TO REPAIR THINGS WITH FLYNN. 5.
SALLY:
I really don’t like it when we argue. 6.
FLYNN:
You severely compromised my work place ethics and professional integrity Sal!

SALLY:
I was just trying to help a friend. S.F.X. KNOCK ON THE DOOR. ENTER BETH WITH MAX AND HENRY. SALLY GETS UP TO GREET THEM. 8.
BETH:
HI Flynn. Hi Sal. Sorry I know you don’t open for a little while yet, but I thought you might be able to take a look at Max and Henry for me? I’m really concerned… BETH LOOKS AT FLYNN WHO IS SITTING ON THE COUCH AND NOTICES A BLANKET AND PILLOW. 9.

FLYNN’S SURGERY
MONDAY MORNING
FLYNN, BETH, MAX, HENRY FLYNN, BETH, MAX AND HENRY ENTER THE ROOM. 1.
FLYNN:
Ok boys, just take a seat up here (points to bench). Now what seems to be the problem? 2.
BETH:
Well the boys came down stairs today with spots all over them, saying they didn’t feel well. I checked their temperature, and it had skyrocketed! 3.
FLYNN:
Ok, lets just take your temperatures again, and see what we can find. FLYNN PUTS A THERMOMETRE IN BOTH MAX AND HENRY’S MOUTHS, AND BEGINS TO INSPECT THEIR RED SPOTS. FINALLY HE TAKES OUT THE THERMOMENTRES AND READS THEM. 4.
FLYNN:
Well, their temperatures seem to be normal. 5.
BETH:
What? How can that be?
Ep. 3702
Page 12 Sc. 4 6.
FLYNN:
Beth, would you mind waiting outside whilst I perform a few more tests on the boys? 7.
BETH:
Sure, I’ll just be outside. 8.
FLYNN:
Thanks. MAX WAITS TO SPEAK TIL DOOR CLOSES BEHIND BETH. 9.
MAX:
What’s wrong with us? 10.
FLYNN:
(playing on it) Ah, well, I’m afraid it’s serious boys. It seems you’re both suffering from a are disease called red texta-itus! You see the ink in red textas is absorbed into the skin, entering the blood stream and eventually stops the heart from pumping! BOYS LOOK AT EACH OTHER SCARED. 11.
HENRY:
Is there anything we can do?
Ep. 3702
Page 13 Sc. 4 12.
FLYNN:
No, it’s matter of just a time now… (pause) FLYNN RUFFLES THEIR HAIR TO SHOW HE IS KIDDING WITH THEM. BOYS LOOK RELEIVED. 13.

FLYNN, BETH, SALLY SALLY NOW DRESSED FOR SCHOOL AND COLECTS HER KEYS AND WALLET. BETH IS WAITING PATIENTLY ON THE COUCH. FLYNN ENTERS THE LIVING ROOM. 1.
FLYNN:
2.
BETH:
Beth?
Oh yes, so what’s the prognosis? 3.
FLYNN:
Well I’m afraid we may have a bigger problem then what we first thought. SALLY OVERHEARS AND PRICKS UP HER EARS. 4.
FLYNN (CONT.):
Sally, you might want to hear this because it effects you too… BETH LOOKS CONFUSED. 5.
FLYNN (CONT.):
The spots on Max and Henry were only red texta… but it seems the boys are afraid to go to school. 6.
BETH:
What? That is so unlike them.
Ep. 3702
Page 15 Sc. 5 7.
SALLY:
Why are they afraid? 8.
FLYNN:
Well apparently Hyde has been terrorising them and it’s not just the boxing fiasco. 9.
BETH:
Right! That’s it. I think me and Hyde are going to have to have a few words. SALLY LOOKS CONCERNED AT BETH FIRST, THEN FLYNN. 0.45

HYDE (CONT.):
You’ve been at my computer haven’t you? 3.
KIM:
Well hello to you too! 4.

Don’t play games with me boy. I won’t tolerate this tomfoolery. I know you whited out all my files last week! Of all the stupid irresponsible things to do…
Ep. 3702
Page 17 Sc. 6 5.
KIM:
What? I don’t know what you’re talking about. I haven’t touched your computer! And in case you haven’t noticed “DAD” I haven’t been around for the past two days, so how could I have hacked into your computer! Shows how much you care about me! HYDE LOOKS AT KIM, SEETHING WITH ANGER, BUT UNABLE TO RETORT. 6.
HYDE:
Why aren’t you in uniform? 7.
KIM:
Ah, well see Dad, I don’t need it anymore. 8.
HYDE:

See “Hyde”, you can’t make me stay at school any-more. 14.
HYDE:
I can and I will! If you don’t come back to school I will cut you off for good! You’ll get no more support from me. 15.
KIM:
I don’t care. I don’t want your support! I have my own job, I’ll have my own money, my own place and I’ll do what I like! KIM EXITS THE OFFICE. HYDE STARES OUT AFTER HIM, THEN LOOKS AROUND THE OFFICE FOR A DISTRACTION. HE FINDS A FAX LEFT BY THE FAX MACHINE, READING: EDUCATION DEPARTMENT… “…BEEN INFORMED REGARDING INCIDENCES CONCERNING A BOXING MATCH… AN INVESTIGATION IS UNDERWAY… YOU HAVE BEEN FORMALLY ASKED TO EXPLAIN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES TO THE EDUCATION DEPT.” 0.55

Good Miss Fletcher. 3.
SALLY:
How’s the council going Jade? 4.
JADE:
Oh great! Seb and I have been coming up with some great ideas, only… 5.
SALLY:
Only what? 6.
SEB:
Only, we’re worried Hyde isn’t going to give us enough freedom to really make some positive changes around this place. 7.
SALLY:
Why do you say that?
Ep. 3702
Page 20 Sc. 7 8.
ROBBIE:
Oh you know how Hyde is. He’s so strict! He’s got us all on mandatory military action and we just want to learn and have fun. 9.
TASHA:
Yeah he’s really making school life difficult to live with. 10.
SALLY:
Oh, well I’m sorry you feel this way. Have you guys considered speaking to a counsellor, regarding these issues… that is if Hyde is hindering your school experience that much. 11.
JADE:
Oh, no, I’m sure it’s not that bad. You know how it is with us school kids. Never happy with what we’ve got! THEY ALL GIGGLE. SAL EXCUSES HERSELF TO ATTEND TO ASSEMBLY. KIM RUNS UP TO SAL. 12.
KIM:
You told him didn’t you? 13.

SALLY:
Kim, calm down. I haven’t told him anything. 16.
KIM:
I don’t believe you. We had a deal! And now he’s accusing me of things I didn’t even do and there’s only one way he could have found out about the computer. You really blew it Miss Fletcher. SALLY GIVES A LOOK OF CONCERN. 17.
SALLY:
Look Kim, this isn’t the time or place to discuss this. We’ll talk about this later. KIM STORMS OFF FURIOUSLY. FIRST COMMERCIAL BREAK 0.55

FLYNN:
Irene, I can’t seem to find these patients files… 2.
IRENE:
Who are they? I can tell you exactly where they are. 3.
FLYNN:
Mr Thompson and Miss Petrie. 4.
IRENE:
Oh darlin’, that’s easy. Mr Thompson is listed under ‘S’ for ‘Sunshine’ because he’s like a little ray of sunshine when he comes into this place. Lights up the place he does. 5.
FLYNN:
And Miss Petrie? 6.
IRENE:
‘B’ for ‘Bunyins’. Forever complaining about them, that one. FLYNN IS NOT HAPPY BUT HE SUPRERSSES HIS FRUSTRATION.
Ep. 3702

FLYNN:

IRENE:

FLYNN:
Morning.
Ah, Colleen, what can I do for you? 11.
COLLEEN:
Oh, just popped in to see how you were doing. IRENE, IN THE BACKGROUND, IS EAVESDROPPING ON THE WHOLE CONVERSATION. THERE IS AWKWARDNESS BETWEEN THEM ALL. 12.
FLYNN:
Oh we’re doing fine. Thanks for thinking of us. And how are you doing? 13.
COLLEEN:
Not too bad. I won’t make a fuss and tell you how ungrateful and mean I think you are, but I’ve been keeping myself pretty busy down at the diner.
Ep. 3702
Page 24 Sc. 8 14.
FLYNN:
Oh, well, that’s great to hear. 15.
COLLEEN:
Yes, well lucky for me, Alf Stewart was more of a friend. He offered me a job there. 16.
FLYNN:
That’s fantastic. Glad to hear it. You see, it all worked out for the best didn’t it? And all this time I was sitting here feeling guilty about giving you the sack. 17.
COLLEEN:
Well I won’t say I wasn’t pained when you gave me the great heave-ho but it was the best thing for me. FLYNN SMILES BACK TO COLLEEN, WHO IS LOOKING OVER FLYNN’S SHOULDER AT IRENE, INSPECTING HER LEVEL OF WORKMANSHIP. IRENE IS TRYING TO REMAIN INCONSPICUOS BUT AWKWARDLY SMILES AT COLLEEN. 18.

ALF, LEAH, JESSE, HYDE, N/S SURFERS ALF IS PUTTING UP THE LIFE SAVER ROSTER. LEAH AND JESSE ARE PERFORMING MENIAL TASKS WITHIN THE SURF CLUB, MOVING ABOUT ALL OVER THE PLACE, CROSSING THE ENTRY TO THE SURF CLUB AS THEY SAY… 1.
JESSE:
Babe, all I’m saying is take it easy. Hayley said she’s ready to take back the classes if it’s too much for you. 2.
LEAH:
Jesse, I can do them. It’s really no problem… ENTER HYDE, WHO IS FUMING WITH ANGER, LOOKING ABOUT FOR ALF. FINDING ALF PINNING UP A POSTER, HE STORMS UP TO HIM. 3.
HYDE:
Do you encourage children to leave school? ALF IS SURPRISED TO HEAR SOMEONE TALKING TO HIM. 4.
ALF:
Huh? Oh Hyde, it’s you.
Ep. 3702
Page 27 Sc. 9 5.
HYDE:
You offered my boy a job? 6.
ALF:

HYDE:
Yes but…
I had you pegged as someone with ethics, Alf; someone on the same wavelength as me, who understood what I was trying to do… 8.
ALF:
Look, you’ve got… 9.
HYDE:
…but then you offer my son a job knowing full well it will take him out of school! ALF FINDS HIMSELF BEING VERBALLY ATTACKED. JESSE NOTICES AND COMES TO HIS DEFENCE. 10.
ALF:
Look, Kim is seventeen, he can make his own decisions, besides it was meant to be part-time…
Ep. 3702
Page 28 Sc. 9 11.
HYDE:
He is MY son Alf. If you want to offer my boy a job, you come to me first. I’ll decide what my boy can and cannot do. I will not have my boy running away from home or abandoning his education. 12.
JESSE:
You know what – you have some nerve Hyde. Alf is a good bloke who cares a great deal about the education and well being of the kids in this town. He was just trying to help your son. Now I suggest before you start throwing accusations at him for tearing Kim away from school or home, I’d take a good, hard look at yourself. HYDE IS FURIOUS. 13.
HYDE:
You know, of all the people in this town, Alf, I thought you would have more sense. HYDE STORMS OFF IN A RAGE. ALF AND JESSE SHARE A LOOK OF UTTER DISMAY. 0.50

SALLY:
…and there will be a council meeting with the newly elected school council and President in the lunch hour, if anyone would like to attend… SALLY LOOKS AROUND THE HALL TO SEE IF HYDE HAS ARRIVED BUT DOES NOT SEE HIM ENTER BY THE REAR AMIDST ALL THE SCHOOL STUDENTS. 2.
SALLY:
Well then, if there isn’t anything else to say… 3.
HYDE:
Thank you Miss Fletcher, I’m not quite done just yet. 4.
SALLY:
Oh… ok… SALLY GETS OFF STAGE QUICKLY, AS HYDE SEEMS TO BE ON A WAR PATH.
Ep. 3702
Page 30 Sc. 10 5.
HYDE:
It has become apparent to me this school is severely lacking in discipline and I will not tolerate it any longer. In the past two weeks alone, there have been incidences of vandalism of school property in the form of graffiti, students hacking into the school computer systems and terrorising staff. It is not on and any students caught continuing with this kind of behaviour will be automatically expelled. SALLY, WHO IS IN THE WINGS, LOOKS OUT OVER THE SCHOOL WITH MUCH CONCERN. SHE IS SHOCKED BY HYDES DISPLAY OF ANGER. 6.
HYDE:
I’ve also noticed not one single person in this entire school has put their name down on the sign up board for the School Orchestra or Cadets. Need I remind you, this is a COMPULSORY student activity. If I don’t see names on that board by the end of the day, I will personally sign you all up to Cadets.

Sc. 10 JADE, SEB, ROBBIE AND TASHA LOOK AT EACH OTHER WITH FACES THAT READ ‘THAT’S NOT FAIR’. THE SCHOOL REACT TO HYDES DECISION WITH COMMUNAL CHATTER. 7.
JADE:
Excuse me, but that’s not fair. THE SCHOOL TURN TO LOOK AT JADE, WITH A GASP. HYDE IS SHOCKED A STUDENT HAS THE NERVE TO TALK BACK. 8.
JADE:
Any changes like that should be passed by the school council. HYDE SCOFFS. 9.
HYDE:
Yes well life isn’t fair I’m afraid young Jade. If you’re all going to act like children, then I’m going to treat like children. You have all forfeited the right to have any say into the way this school runs – that means NO MORE SCHOOL COUNCILS. 10.
JADE:
This is a disgusting perversion of our rights as students at this school. You can’t do this.

Yes, this coming from a student who was elected President, yet didn’t register as a proper candidate to run for office. JADE IS UTTERLY HUMILIATED AND RUNS OFF IN DISGRACE. SALLY IS SHOCKED AND EXPRESSES A LOOK OF DISTRESS TO HYDE. THE SCHOOL GRUMBLE IN DISGUST. 12.

SALLY:
Hyde, what are you doing? 2.
HYDE:
Ah Sally… 3.
SALLY:
You can’t come down on kids like that! 4.
HYDE:
If you don’t like it Miss Fletcher, please feel free to leave. SALLY IS SHOCKED BY HYDE’S INSOLANCE. 5.
HYDE (CONT.):
Let me remind you Miss Fletcher, that you agreed to back me when you handed over the role of Principal of this school to me. You knew full well what my intentions were in disciplining the students of this school. 6.
SALLY:
Yes, but I never thought it would come to this!
Ep. 3702
Page 34 Sc. 11 7.
HYDE:
Yes, well, as I said, if you don’t like it Miss Fletcher, please feel free to leave at any time. SALLY TURNS TO WALK OUT THE DOOR, BUT STOPS AND TURNS FOR ONE LAST COMMENT. 8.
SALLY:
You won’t get away with this, you know. SOMETHING TWIGS IN HYDES HEAD – THE LETTER FROM THE EDUCATION DEPT! 9.
HYDE:
You’re the one who reported me to the Education Department, aren’t you? 10.
SALLY:
What? HYDE PICKS UP THE FAX FROM THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT AND HOLDS IT UP TO SALLY. 11.
HYDE:
How else would they have known about the Boxing Match? 12.
SALLY:
Wha… it wasn’t me!
Ep. 3702
Page 35 Sc. 11 13.
HYDE:
Oh give up the game Sally. You and I both know the truth now. There’s no point in denying it! 14.
SALLY:
You’re getting paranoid Hyde. You’re losing control of everything. And you know what? I’m glad someone has reported you, because the way you’re treating the students in this school is reprehensible! I tried to warn you, but you’ve got no-one to answer to now but yourself. SALLY EXITS HYDES OFFICE. HYDE STARES BLANKLY AT THE DOORWAY. 0.50
