Film Transcript
Where is everyone? It's 2021. It's COVID—oh no. Bro, I thought I couldn't... my life was hard in 2021. It was COVID; we couldn't go out. It was such a hard time to start at a new school. I take this face mask off. I hate to break it to you, but you're going to have to wait another two weeks and then the premier will say yes. Okay. Put your hands—no.
Two weeks later, the COVID restrictions finally lifted. Hi. Are you guys ready for school? No. I think the teachers are going to be mean. I'm Mrs Sutton and I'm your English teacher and I like to make kids suffer. I won't make any friends. I think the students will be mean. Oh, it's little Chloe.
We had to make sure they were happy and confident. Hi, my name's Anakin and I'm the school captain. Hi, my name's Pavisa. Hi, you must be Chloe. Um, my name's Chloe, too. Wait, what? Really? My name is Pavisa. Me, too.
Chloe, Pavisa and Anakin helped us find our way around the school. We had to help them so they could become school leaders. Come on in. Everyone's going to be really friendly. Come on in. You're going to love English class. Miss Shepherd is a really fun teacher. What? Really? Yeah. Hi everyone, I'm Miss Shepherd. You must be Pavisa. Yeah. Where do I go for help, Miss Cample? No. No. It's 2021. Mr Done. Okay.
They made us believe in ourselves. How do you like—exciting? Our job was done and it was time to go back to 2026. Do we make it back? Yes. Good job. Do you remember who first went to be a captain? Yes. I met a nice student in year seven named Anakin. Wait a second. Hi, my name's Anakin and I'm a sport captain. Hi, my name is— I had a nightmare about Miss Sun. That's all. That's okay. She doesn't work here yet.
