Transcript

Hi, my name is Gemma. I've just discovered youtube and, there seems to be a lot of people on here.

Bree, I'm not sure if you remember me, but I'm pretty sure you remember my dog.

I know she looks a little frail but you used to come over and play with her all the time, you guys were like inseparable ,like best friends or something.

Something else you might remember is...uh, I, I taught you this game. In america you guys like to call it "rock-paper-scissors" , but here on this side of the world we tend to have a different version, it's "squirrel", "nut", "man" . Man with nut allergy kills squirrel, squirrel eats nut, nut kills man. It's kinda like that continuous cycle.

If you remember me, then ...as I just feel like a rubbish person in here. So Bree, I live in London, my parents still live in a community, um, I kind just wanted to branch off from things, I'm going  to university now, um, it looks like when I graduate I could be getting … if I keep on track.

Bree, I'm really sorry to see that things seem difficult for you right now and, with regard to you and Daniel , I've experienced it. It's very difficult to let outsiders understand everything and, I personally can't deal with that, so I guess that's why I moved to London.

Well Bree, it's nice to see that you're all growing up. Take care. See you.

Routines part 1

The song Saturday Night describes their week, their routine, their habits... and parties!

 

Saturday Night

The Underdog Project

Every wicked minute
I sit here thinking of you
I can't wait to get in
I'm waiting for the week to be through

Saturday's the only day I wake up thinking 'bout
Cause any other day is just another day no doubt
Cause every time I think about you, thoughts go through my mind
And everybody's working for the weekend

(Chorus)
Everything is alright on a Saturday night
Tonight I've got all my fellas with a hunny by my side
The DJ spins a record till it hits the morning light
And everything's gonna be OK
Cause it's a Saturday

Ain't thinking about Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday it's all right
Ain't thinking about Thursday or Friday cause tonight's Saturday night

Every wicked hour
I think about you sitting by my side
And I can't wait much longer
Wanna show you how I feel for you tonight

Saturday's the only day I wake up thinking about
Cause any other day is just another day no doubt
Cause every time I think about you, thoughts go through my mind
And everybody's working for the weekend

(Chorus)
Everything is alright on a Saturday night
Tonight got all my fellas with a hunny by my side
The DJ spins a record 'till it hits the morning light
And everything's gonna be OK
Cause it's a Saturday
