Coffee, please Black
by the angry crowd
Born in 2009, the son of Marcello and Sylvia Ricardo,
a working-class couple from Mendoza,
he struggled all his life with the celebrity status
thrust upon him as the world's youngest person
Diego Ricardo, the youngest person on the planet
was 18 years, 4 months,
20 days, 16 hours and 8 minutes old
(WOMAN SOBBING)
(WOMAN SCREAMING)
(ALARM BLARING)
MAN ON TV: Throughout his life, Diego Ricardo was a tragic reminder
of the 18 years of infertility that humanity has endured
and its effect upon the world we now live in
It seems that the mantle of the world's youngest human has passed to a woman
She is 18 years, 5 months and 11 days old
- Faron - Mr Griffiths
I seem to be more affected by Baby Diego's death than I realised, sir
If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate it if I could finish my day's work at home

JASPER: You know who did it?
THEO: Islamic? Fishes? Fuck knows
I'll bet it was the government
Every time one of our politicians is in trouble, a bomb explodes
It's the second time in a month
- You okay? - It was horrible
I'm glad you don't take cream or sugar, amigo
Losing you and Baby Diego on the same day would be too hard to bear
Well, that was even worse, everybody crying
I mean, Baby Diego, come on That guy was a wanker
Yeah, but he was the youngest wanker on Earth
Pull my finger Quick, quick!
Jasper
Fucking hell! That's disgusting!
(TRUCK HONKING)
Illegal immigrants Taking them to Bexhill
Poor fugees
After escaping the worst atrocities and finally making it to England,
our government hunts them down like cockroaches
- Any girls? - No
What about the one we had lunch with? Lauren?
Lorna That was ages ago
- I liked her What happened? - She decided to renounce
Renouncers? Are those the ones that kneel down for a month for salvation?
No They're the Repenters
The Renouncers flagellate themselves for the forgiveness of humanity
Oh, right
Dating ain't what it used to be, is it, amigo?
JASPER: What'd you do on your birthday? THEO: Nothing
Come on You must've done something
No Same as every other day
Woke up, felt like shit, went to work, felt like shit
That's called a hangover, amigo
At least with a hangover, I feel something
Honestly, Jasper, sometimes
You could always come and live with us
Yeah, but if I did that, I wouldn't have anything to look forward to
(LAUGHING)
JASPER: Look who it is It's Theo
- THEO: Hey, Janice, how you doing? - It's Theo
Your rebel with a lost cause
She loves this colour
Don't you, darling? You love it
"Is there a chance it will not work for me?
"There have been no cases of anyone surviving
"who has taken the preparation"
Daddy government hands out suicide kits and anti-depressants in the rations,
but ganja is still illegal
Most of my weed goes to Bexhill now
This bloke buys it from me and smuggles it in

So, Human Project is having this dinner
and all the wisest men in the world are there
"Human Project" Why do people believe this crap?
You know, even if these people existed with these facilities in secret locations
Fuck me, that's strong
Even if they discovered the cure for infertility, it doesn't matter
Too late The world went to shit
You know what?
It was too late before the infertility thing happened, for fuck's sake
I was just trying to tell a joke, man
I'm sorry Go on
- No, I'm not telling it now - No, come on, Jasper
- No Fuck it I'm not fucking telling you - It's all right Go on
Okay The Human Project gives this great big dinner
for all the scientists and sages in the world
They're tossing around theories about the ultimate mystery,
why are women infertile? Why can't we make babies anymore?
Some of them say it's genetic experiments,
gamma rays, pollution Same old, same old
Anyway, in the corner, this Englishman's sitting
He hasn't said a word He's just tucking into his dinner
So they decide to ask him
They say, "Well, why do you think we can't make babies anymore?"
And he looks up at them, and he's chewing on this great big wing,
and he says, "I haven't the faintest idea," he said
"But this stork is quite tasty, isn't it?"
Eating a fucking stork
Eating the stork
Italia

Fishes terrorist leader Julian Taylor was killed today
in a gun battle with police near Canterbury
Four other terrorists escaped after murdering two officers
Police say they have sufficient forensic and surveillance evidence
to identify the four killers
All suspects should be considered armed and extremely dangerous
This was broadcast an hour ago
We have to assume it's just a matter of time before they identify the rest of us,
which includes you, Theo
WOMAN: Why is he here? MAN: He's not a Fish
- He's not one of us - KEE: I want him here
LUKE: Kee wants him, he stays
Now, we all agreed to deliver Kee to our brothers and sisters in the Human Project
- ALL: Right - Now we got to reevaluate that position
No, there's no need We move forward with the original plan
Yes!
She'll never make it The police are looking for her
We can find a way It's what Julian wanted
We'd be risking the girl's life
Listen, listen! She belongs here
And this baby is the flag that could unite us all!
MIRIAM: We said we'd never use this baby for political purposes
KEE: My baby's not a flag
Make it public!
WOMAN: What?
- What? - What?
Excuse me?
You should make it public
You saw the telly She's about to be very public
THEO: It doesn't matter She's pregnant
Oh, right And then the government will say, "We were wrong Fugees are humans, too"
Well, whatever is going on,
whatever your political ideas are, it's irrelevant
- It doesn't matter - WOMAN: Come on
- She needs a doctor - MAN: You really don't get it
WOMAN 2: Look, the government will take her baby
and parade a posh black English lady as the mother
- And she'll never see it again - KEE: Nobody's taking my baby!
We all know this government would never acknowledge
the first human birth in 18 years from a fugee
A wanted fugee
Why don't we explain to Mr Faron what they do to immigrants in this country?
MIRIAM: He knows He's seen the cages He's not that stupid
KEE: I'm not going to the government
You told me you would get me to the Human Project
- You promised me - I know
And we will
But I don't think it's safe to try and reach the coast now
You could stay here, Kee It's a safe place for you to have your child
And when you and the baby are well enough,
we will find a way to get you to the Human Project
I promise you, Kee
It could take months to get back in touch with them again
This is true We have to take it under consideration
Kee, this is your decision
What do you think?
- I think you need proper care - EMILY: Oh, brilliant!
She has proper care!
- What the fuck does he know? - Hang on Kee?
Kee, this is your choice
- I have my baby here - Yes!
Then you get me to the Human Project

What about all the fucking police, lan? You said it would be safe!
IAN: We paid the gang We had no idea about the cops
You broke the protocol What were you thinking?
What was I thinking?
You could be responsible for putting the Uprising in jeopardy
He needs a proper doctor!
Don't you get it?
We have a baby
When people see we have a baby, everyone will join us in the Uprising
But we can forget about the baby if the girl even suspects we killed Julian!
What was I supposed to do?
You saw how he is He's on death's fucking door!
- LUKE: Take it easy - You broke protocol
He's my fucking cousin!
Luke, he needs a doctor

Nobody ever told me these things I never seen a pregnant woman before
But I knew
I felt like a freak
I didn't tell nobody
I thought about the Quietus thing Supposed to be suave
Pretty music and all that
Then the baby kicked
I feel it Little bastard was alive And I feel it And me, too
I am alive
- Froley - Froley
Name my baby Froley
It's the first baby in 18 years
- You can't call it Froley - Says who?
Kee, I've found you a boat
- KEE: Great - How?
We get ourselves arrested
- Oh, Jesus - No, no
Syd, this border guard I sell pot to, has agreed to get us into Bexhill
Nicely ironic, eh? We break into prison!
Wicked

JASPER: Everything is a mythical cosmic battle
between faith and chance
- MIRIAM: Maybe I shouldn't - You already did Take another one
Now cough
(COUGHING)
- What do you taste? - Strawberries
Strawberries? That's what it's called Strawberry Cough
Wicked
So, you've got faith over here, right, and chance over there
- Like yin and yang - Sort of
Or Shiva and Shakti
Lennon and McCartney
Look, Julian and Theo
Yeah, there you go Julian and Theo met among a million protestors in a rally
by chance
But they were there because of what they believed in
in the first place, their faith They wanted to change the world
And their faith kept them together
But by chance, Dylan was born
This is him?
Yeah, that's him He would have been about your age Magical child
Beautiful
- Their faith put in praxis - Praxis?
- What happened? - Chance
He was their sweet little dream
He had little hands, little legs, little feet
Little lungs
And in 2008, along came the flu pandemic
And then, by chance,
- he was gone - Oh, Jesus
You see, Theo's faith
lost out to chance
So,
why bother if life's going to make its own choices?
- Watcha! Baby's got Theo's eyes - JASPER: Yeah
MIRIAM: Oh, boy That's terrible
But, you know, everything happens for a reason
JASPER: That I don't know
But Theo and Julian would always bring Dylan He loved it here
(ALARM SOUNDING IN DISTANCE)
(ALARM BLARING)
JASPER: It's the alarm! Someone's breaking in!
What is it?
Look at this
Shit
Jasper, hurry up!
Where's Janice?
Take the back path to the main road, then follow the map I've given Miriam
- Yeah, I've got it - What are you talking about?
Wait for Syd at the old school on Watchbell Road in Rye
Give him this, and tell him he's a fascist pig
- THEO: We need to get Janice - We're not going, Theo

MIRIAM: I was 31 Midwife at the John Radcliffe
I was doing a stint in the antenatal clinic
Three of my patients miscarried in one week
Others were in their fifth and sixth month We managed to save two of the poor babies
Next week, five more miscarried
Then the miscarriages started happening earlier
I remember booking a woman in for her next appointment
and noticing that the page seven months ahead was completely blank
Not a single name
I rang a friend who was working at Queen Charlotte's,
and she had no new pregnancies, either
She then rang her sister in Sydney
And it was the same thing there
You can relax She's finished
As the sound of the playgrounds faded,
the despair set in
Very odd what happens in a world without children's voices
I was there at the end
Now you're gonna be there at the beginning
Yeah
I'll be there at the beginning
Thank you
(POLICE SIREN WAILING)
Kee, come on! We've got to go!
COP: Stop where you are

Say it again

SYD: It was Jasper's idea, you know The whole password thing

Jasper's straight A true gentleman
(GROANING)

MIRIAM: Just carsick
- She's not going to puke, is she? - No She's fine
Puking's bad Very, very bad

Usually, there's people trying to get out of Bexhill, not in
Syd doesn't know why you want to get in
Syd doesn't want to know
Syd doesn't care
MIRIAM: Just breathe Just breathe
(KEE MOANING)
What's wrong with her?
A minor contraction It's normal Just breathe

When you're released, stroll out with the other fugees
Look for the statue of a soldier
There you'll meet a woman, Marichka Arab, gypsy, something
Always carries a shitty little dog with her

How do we know that Luke and his mob haven't intercepted it?
Luke has no way of contacting the Human Project Nor does anyone else
Say again?
Contact with the Human Project is done by mirrors
Julian was our mirror
(EXCLAIMING)
What do you mean, "mirrors"?
Mirrors They contact one of our people
That person contacts someone else, and so on, till word gets to Julian
She tells Luke
You mean you never actually talked to any of them?
Don't fucking tell me you never actually talked to them?
- Breathe it out - THEO: Is she okay?
