Jules

Me and Jess were fighting because we both fancy our coach... Joe.

[pause]

Joe, a man, Joe?

Jules
[exasperated]

Yeah, as in male, Joe! Joe, our coach, Joe, man, Joe!

Jules

Anyway being a lesbian's not that big a deal

Oh no of course not sweetheart no. I mean I've got nothing against it. I was cheering for Martina Navratilova as much as the next person.

Jules
[In a women's underwear retail store with her mother holding up a bra]

I'd never wear that!

Mrs. Paxton

They're all the rage, poppet! You blow 'em up, just like a lilo. Look, this little pump comes free with it. Pop it in the valve, pump away, up it goes, then slip it back in there... [Holds up bra looking proud] and boom! Cleavage! They're perfect while you're still growing 'cause they lift you right there. [Grabs Jules breasts who jumps highly violated]

Jules

Mum! God, you're so embarrassing!

Mrs. Paxton

They make more of what you've got! [Following Jules] All the girls have bought one for their daughters! The Fleur's pretty, and the gel bra's a clever one, no pumping, it's already in there. [Jules walks up to a rack] Not the sports bras! They're so plain! They don't enhance!

Jules

No one's going to see them!

Mrs. Paxton

It's not how they look, it's how they make you feel. I really like that lace lycra one.

Mrs. Paxton
[Jules has kicked a goal in her parents backyard that bounces off potted plants, playing with her father] [Çomes out oḟ house]

Oh, will you both pack it in! Look at the state of my fuchsias! Allen, when are you gonna realize you have a daughter with breasts, not a son?

Mr. Paxton

Paula!

Mrs. Paxton

No boy's gonna go out with a girl who's got bigger muscles than him!

Mr. Paxton

Leave her alone.

Jules

I'm not gonna give it up!

Mrs. Paxton

I saw Kevin on the high street with a blonde girl and it didn't look like they weren't talking about match of the bleedin' day either!

Jules

Kevin can shag whoever he bloody wants!

Mrs. Paxton

Honey, all I'm saying is there is a reason why Sporty Spice is the only one of them without a fella.

Mrs. Paxton
[Jules has stormed past Mrs. Paxton into the house]

Sweetheart...

Mr. Paxton

Why don't you get off her flamin' back? If she'd rather play football than chase boys, frankly I'm over the moon about that.

Jules

When are you going to tell your parents about your game?

I don't know.

Jules

You can't keep lying. You're too good.

Mrs. Paxton

Cooey!

Jules

Hide the shoes!

Mrs. Paxton

Sweetheart!

Jules

Up here, Mum.

Mrs. Paxton

Oh, it's hot out there! Oh! Got company! Hello, love.

Jules

Mum, this is Jess.

Mrs. Paxton

Jess? Is that Indian?

It's really Jesminder, but only my mum calls me that.

Mrs. Paxton

Oh, that's nice. Jesmin-dah. Lovely! Well, Jesmin-dah, I bet your room at home doesn't look like this! Great big butch women on the wall!

Jules

Thank you, Mum, I'm not old like you!

Mrs. Paxton

Jess, I hope you can teach my daughter a bit about your culture, including respect for elders and the like, eh? Cheeky madam! Well, Jess... I expect your parents are fixing you up with a handsome young doctor soon. Pretty girl like you...

Jules

Mum! Stop embarrassing yourself!

Mrs. Paxton

What? Just being friendly! You don't mind, do you, love? Of course not! Now, are you a friend from school or work?

Jules

She's a footballer. She's on the team with me.
