Dylan finds the times they are a-changing.

Scene 1: Secure Training Centre - Education Wing.
Daniel: Hey kiddo, you're new here aren't you? It's Dylan isn't it?
Dylan: Yeah, hi, yeah.
Daniel: In honour of your arrival we shall study Dylan Thomas poems today. Page 52 everyone: "Do not go gentle into that good night."
Other boys: Groan.
Daniel: Now then young chaps, read, digest and think about the meaning. (Daniel leaves the room.)
Other boy 1 (Mike the Tike) Is he your dad's boyfriend?
Dylan: Not yet. My dad is single.
Mike the Tike: Do you want him as a step dad?
Dylan: I'd prefer him to Billy the Vicar or Todd the Undertaker.
Mike the Tike: (Taken aback).  Man, you got some heavy connections.  The Vicar sounds like a right bad guy, and The Undertaker... well the title speaks for itself.  Respect Dylan.  
Daniel: (Re-enters the room). "Do not go gentle into that good night// Old age should burn and rave at close of day// Rage, rage against the dying of the light." What does it mean?
Dylan: It's a veiled threat.  It's saying Don't be tempted by darkness to bully new inmates. Otherwise the old vicar will burn with anger.  Then the undertaker will cause your light to die."
Daniel: Eh no, it means nothing of the sort. 
Dylan: Well that's what it means to me.  There's a new kid on the block. The times they are a-changing.

Steve I thought you were just sitting down because you are so old, and still working in a pub even though you are 88. Betty No, I just have trapped wind. Steve I know just what you mean. I feel that same way about Michelle. Lloyd enters, with Danielle. They sit in a booth. Lloyd A bottle of champagne please. Steve Are you trying to impress the bird? Liz No, it’s my idea. Give him a bottle. Lloyd (Salivating at Liz’s breasts.) Yes, please give me one. Liz ( Picking up a glass cloth, and fanning herself with it) Oooh you are awful, but I like you.

Rita has no recollection

 Rita woke up, hungover as usual.  She was fully dressed, and so she reckoned that she must have been pretty tanked up the night before. She got up off the couch and staggered around, tripping over her high heels. "Here, what's that on me shoes?"   She bent down (slowly) and picked up a shoe.   "Blood? That looks like blood. Where did that come from?"

Mary and Brian catch up

The Rovers Return Mary: I often wonder what you see in me Brian. Brian: Mary, Mary, Mary. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou are more lovely and more temperate. Mary: But Brian, I very much fear that my summer is fading fast. Brian: In truth, you're probably at the stage of the first frost of autumn. Mary: And yet do not the apples hang lustily from my boughs, waiting to be picked, to be pulped, to be fermented and turned into the sweetest cider? Brian: I like a good cider. Mary: I used to like cider. I would drink it with friends after school. It made us very naughty and we played the most silly games of dare. Once, my friends dared me to steal a policeman's helmet. Brian: And did you? Mary: Of course. I got mother to help me. She entered the police station to report me missing, and insisted that she had murdered me. This meant that she had to be interviewed, and during the interview mother pretended to have a psychotic episode, during which time she picke...
