Have you ever thought about
becoming a comedian*?
Just stay with your funny
friends. We’re off*!
We’ve got to prepare our future!
Have you found work experience?
Yes, at the infants’ school…
With my old
teacher…
And I’m going to work with a tattooist.
Is that what you really want to do later*?
Of course not, but I couldn’t find* anything better.I couldn’t find any-
thing better either*.
The tattooist has a shop in my apart-ment block.
Time’s up*. Please get* off
the bench*.
Time’s up
Yeah! And what if we
don’t?

I really hate you,
Dad.

What are you thinking of doing in the future?
I’d like to be a security guard at a club*. Then
