Joshua The Gardener(Transcript)

It is a busy day for the New Hope Choir. They were about to have a field trip to the Birmingham Museum when something was off. It was covered in jam.

Ms. Jackson: Great, the museum is covered in jam. Looks like Jamie Jai Jamson is back.

Everyone: (gasps)

Blake: If any expelled student is on the loose, we are all up to it.

Zoe: My brother is right. As choir director.

Ms. Jackson: Okay, the rest of you, stay where you are. I need to help the New Hope Choir and Theatre Troupe.

Ms. Jackson went up to the New Hope Choir.

George: So, what is Jamie Jameson up to?

Zoe: But who is she?

Ms. Jackson: Jamie was expelled last year when she was in Year 9. She's probably 16 by now. Anyways, take a look at the video she sent on my tablet.

Ms. Jackson opened the video Jamie sent.

Jamie: That's right, I'm running up and down metropolitan Birmingham. Jamming things up. And you kids are not smart enough to catch me. Which makes my victory all this sweeter. Like my jam. Which by the way is preservative free. That's right, pres free jam. Bam! (laughs)

The video ended.

Kandace: Oh no.

George: What does she mean, 'not smart enough?' We're smart already, we have As in all our exams.

Blake: I even have As in my GCSE exams.

Ms. Jackson: Before Jamie jammed the museum, she sent us a code. Check your watches.

Everyone tapped on their watches and it showed the code, 'Y' and 'W.'

Thaiyo: Woah.

Ms. Jackson: And just before we arrived at Birmingham, she sent us another code.

Then, the students' watches showed 'Y,' 'x' and 'W.'

Caspar: Woah.

Prem: I don't care, I'm joining the other kids.

Zoe: Didn't you just join the choir or something.

Prem: I'm not into these kinds of cases.

Prem left and join the other kids.

Ms. Jackson: We thought that this is the next address Jamie will strike next. But the codebreakers didn't crack it.

Everyone looked at the school cats. Jackie and Kelly were also there.

Zoe: Those are our cats. Even Bruce and Nancy are there too.

Michael: Wait, if genius kittens can, then no one can can!

Luke: Michael!

Ms. Jackson: There's one. He was the best codebreaker the school has ever had. Joshua Todd Oddson.

Zoe: Erm... didn't Joshua turn evil? And tried to destroy all of Georgetown.

Caspar: People can change, Zoe.

Ms. Jackson: Caspar was right. Joshua hasn't caused oddness for a few days.

George: But we've defeated him last Tuesday and Zoe and I became choir directors.

Ms. Jackson: We've just had word from all the students here. He had turned over a new life, he is now a gardener. Now, try to find his garden. Our watches will keep in contact with each other.

Zoe: Got it, Ms. Jackson. Let's go.

The New Hope Choir and Theatre Troupe went to Joshua's garden.

Zoe: Hello Joshua.

Joshua: New Hope Choir (growls). And you've merged in with the Theatre Troupe? What are you guys doing here?

Caspar: We need your help breaking a code.

Joshua: No, no way. Not happening. I'm not part of the choir, I'm not an expelled student, I'm a gardener.

Joshua picked up a tomato.

Joshua: Have you seen a tomato this red?

James: It's actually pronounced to-ma-to instead of to-mae-to.

Tristan: He's American.

Shawn: Joshua, I hate tomatoes.

George: I'll take it.

Zoe: I think this will make you help us.

Song: More Than This by One Direction

Brad: #Ooh #I’m broken, do you hear me? #I’m blinded 'cause you are everything I see #I’m dancing alone, I’m praying #That your heart will just turn around#

Troy: #And as I walk up to your door #My head turns to face the floor #'Cause I can’t look you in the eyes and say#

Zoe: #When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight #It just won’t feel right #'Cause I can love you more than this, yeah #When he lays you down, I might just die inside #It just don’t feel right #'Cause I can love you more than this #Can love you more than this#

George: #If I’m louder, would you see me? #Would you lay down in my arms and rescue me? #'Cause we are the same, you save me #When you leave, it’s gone again#

Reece: #And then I see you on the street #In his arms, I get weak #My body fails, I’m on my knees, praying#

All: #When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight #It just won’t feel right #'cause I can love you more than this, yeah #When he lays you down, I might just die inside #It just don’t feel right #'Cause I can love you more than this#

Blake: #Yeah #I’ve never had the words to say #But now I’m asking you to stay for a little while inside my arms #And as you close your eyes tonight #I pray that you will see the light #That’s shining from the stars above#

Connor: #When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight #It just won’t feel right #'Cause I can love you more than this #'Cause I can love you more than this, yeah#

Harvey: #'Cause I can love you more than this#

All: #When he lays you down, I might just die inside #It just don’t feel right #'Cause I can love you more than this, yeah #When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight#

Caspar: #Holds you close#

All: #It just won’t feel right #'Cause I can love you more than this, yeah#

Reece: #'Cause I can love you more than this, yeah#

All: #When he lays you down, I might just die inside #It just don’t feel right #'Cause I can love you more than this#

Zoe: #I can love you more than this#

Yuto: Look, if you don't help us, more places could be covered in jam.

Joshua: Not my problem.

James: #When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight #It just won’t feel right #'cause I can love you more than this, yeah#

Joshua: Okay fine, I'll help you. Only if you promise to leave me be!

Caspar: Deal.

Zoe tapped on her watch.

Joshua: Watches? Why didn't I get one when I was in- Nevermind.

Zoe: This is the code Jamie sent us before she jammed the Birmingham museum. And here's the code she sent us when we arrive in the metropolitan city from Georgetown.

Joshua: Solved it!

Everyone: What?!

Joshua: Each variable stands for a number. We know that Jamie hit 23 Metropolitan district. So that means the Y stands for 2 and W stands for 3.

George: Studied this algebra, I hate it.

Zoe: This doesn't make any sense. We studied algebra before and the variables we always use are X and Y.

Joshua: But, with the information we have. Now we can solve the other clue, the x. Remember, Y stands for 2 and W stands for 3.

Molly: But we don't know what does the letter x stand for.

Joshua: It could be a 3 digit number. We all know that Y stands for 2 and W stands for 3. So the options can be from 203 to 293.

Raphael: But it can't be 223 or 233. Because we already know the variables standing for 2 and 3.

Joshua; So, 8 options. So you guys will watch over 8 places. Good luck.

Zoe: Thank you so much.

Joshua: George, Zoe, did you change outfits?

George: Yeah.

Zoe: We're choir directors now. Who cares, let's go.

Joshua: Hey, sorry for the way I treated you guys. Especially to the seniors.

Reece: All is forgiven.

Zoe: Let's go. And thanks.

The choir kids split up to find any house that has been jammed. George and Zoe are hiding behind trees and are on walkie talkies. Talking to their other choir mates.

George: This is 203 Metropolitan district. We have nothing here. How about you, Jenny, Reece and Blake in 213 Metropolitan district?

Blake: Nope.

Jenny: Nothing here.

Reece: Just jars of jam in the house.

Zoe: What about you, 243 Metropolitan district, Harvey, Shawn and Caspar?

Shawn: No.

Caspar: Nothing here.

Harvey: Yeah.

George: 253 Metropolitan district, James, Tristan and Collins.

Collins: No.

Tristan: Nothing here.

James: Just roses.

Zoe: 263 Metropolitan district, Danna, Luke, Calum, Michael and Ashton?

Danna: Absolutely not.

Luke: Nope.

Calum: Nothing here.

Michael: Literally nothing.

Ashton: Like we're far in the outback.

George: 273 Metropolitan district, Brad, Troy and Connor.

Brad: Nope.

Troy: No.

Connor: Nothing.

Zoe: 283 Metropolitan district, Robert, Sheryl, Ankit and Devan.

Robert: Nothing.

Sheryl: Nope.

Ankit: Nothing.

Devan: There's nothing here.

George: 293 Metropolitan district, everyone from the juniors. Besides Zoe and I.

Juniors: No.

Zoe: Welp, there's nothing here.

Zoe's phone started ringing.

Zoe: I'll get it.

George: No, it's my phone. I'll answer it.

George answered it.

George: Hello?

Ms. Jackson: George, tell Zoe that her phone is broken. Jamie struck again and it's nowhere near you.

Everyone: What?

Zoe: I knew it! Joshua tricked us! He's probably working with Jamie.

Ms. Jackson: No he's not.

George: How do you know?

Ms. Jackson: Because the place Jamie hit is Joshua's garden.

Zoe: We've gotta go, now.

George: I'll go get the others.

The choir and theatre troupe went back to Joshua's garden.

Joshua: I looked a bit for a minute and now everything is jammed!

Zoe: Look! Another code!

Zoe grabbed the sign which has the code.

Connor: Great, the more info, the more we can kick Jamie's bum.

Brad: Really?

Joshua: Now, let's go over on what we saw. Bring out the code on your watch.

Brad tapped on his watch.

Joshua: Alright, so from the previous code, we know that Y stands for 2 and W stands for 3. Wait, that does make any sense. If it is a 3 digit number, then why did it attack the garden at 6 Metropolitan street.

Calum: What if the x isn't a number? Maybe it's the multiplication sign.

Jenny: Still doesn't make any sense, I thought we use the dot symbol for multiplication.

Joshua: So if the x is the multiplication sign, that means 2 times 3. Which means 2 groups of 3. It means 6!

Brad closed his watch.

Joshua: Now the next code is Y x Y. Which means 2 times 2 and it is 4.

Zoe: So that means Jamie Jamson is going to hit 4 Metropolitan street.

Joshua: Let's go.

The choir, troupe and Joshua went to 4 Metropolitan street. Jamie was about to jam the house and is thinking about what flavour should it be.

Jamie: Strawberry jam, nope, grape jam. I'll just stick to strawberry.

Jamie was about to jam the house when New Hope Choir and Theatre Troupe stopped her.

Jenny: Jamie! Stop right there!

She is about to jam the house when Zoe grabbed her toast-inator and it blocked the jam.

Jamie: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Zoe: It's over Jamie.

George: Right.

Reece: Hey Joshua, thanks for helping us back there.

Joshua: No problem. Ever since I made my garden, I felt bad and I shouldn't have been such a jerk with you.

Blake: All is forgiven, man.

Joshua: I haven't heard your voices ever since I started my garden. Maybe you can sing 2 more songs. One last time.

Zoe: Joshua's right, let's start.

George: 1 2 3 go!

Song: You and I by One Direction

George: #I figured it out #I figured it out from black and white #Seconds and hours #Maybe they had to take some time#

Brad: #I know how it goes #I know how it goes from wrong and right #Silence and sound #Did they ever hold each other tight like us? #Did they ever fight like us?#

Zoe: #You and I, we don't wanna be like them #We can make it 'til the end #Nothing can come between you and I #Not even the Gods above #Can separate the two of us #No, nothing can come between you and I #Oh, you and I#

Blake: #I figured it out #Saw the mistakes of up and down #Meet in the middle #There's always room for common ground#

Reece: #I see what it's like #I see what it's like for day and night #Never together #'Cause they see things in a different light like us #They never tried like us#

Aiden: #You and I, we don't wanna be like them #We can make it 'til the end #Nothing can come between you and I #Not even the Gods above #Can separate the two of us#

All: #Two of us, two of us, two of us, two of us#

Zoe: #'Cause you and I#

All: #We don't wanna be like them #We can make it 'til the end#

Kandace: #until the end#

All: #Nothing can come between you and I#

Raphael: #Nothing can come between#

All: #Not even the Gods above #Can separate the two of us#

Yuto: #two of us#

All: #No, nothing can come between you and I

Thaiyo: #You and I#

All: #Oh, you and I #Oh, you and I#

Troye: #We could make it if we try, you and I#

Zoe: #Oh, you and I#

Joshua: Thanks guys. Wish I could go back to Georgetown with you, but I already found a new chapter in life. But hey, see you around. Ms. Jackson is looking for you.

The choir and theatre troupe went back to the museum where Ms. Jackson is waiting.

Ms. Jackson: There you lot are. What took you so long.

Caspar: It's algebra, we don't enjoy it.

Zoe: But, we found out that it can be useful in life.

Ms. Jackson: Right. Well, before you go, I want you to sing a song.

Reece: But we already did it to Joshua.

Ms. Jackson: Just for now.

Prem: Please, I want to see what you guys are really like.

Zoe: Let's do it.

Song: Permission by New Hope Club

Blake: #Sometimes we get confused #We never quite know what we want until the day we do #'Cause we don't get to choose #You can't just run away from love #When love comes chasing you#

Reece: #They say don't fall too hard #Or you'll just lose it all #They made these rules #They break them too #The same as us#

Zoe: #So we don't need permission for nothing #Touch like you wanna be touched, yeah #Kiss like you wanna be kissed, yeah #Oh, we don't need permission for nothing #Drink like you wanna be drunk, yeah #Feel like you wanna feel something #Oh, so we don't need permission#

George: #Sometimes we get confused #We never quite know what we want until the day we do #'Cause we don't get to choose #You can't just run away from love #When love comes chasing you#

Harvey: #They say don't fall too hard #Or you'll just lose it all #They made these rules #They break them too #The same as us#

Aiden: #So we don't need permission for nothing #Touch like you wanna be touched, yeah #Kiss like you wanna be kissed, yeah #Oh, we don't need permission for nothing #Drink like you wanna be drunk, yeah #Feel like you wanna feel something #Oh, we don't need permission#

All: #To love, to love #To love, to love, to love, to love #To love, to love, to love, to love#

Caspar: #We can stay up all night if we want to #Dance in the dark if we want to #Take off our clothes if we want to #We don't need, no-no#

Brad: #We can lose our minds if we want to #Turn up the noise if we want to #Wake up the neighbours, drive them crazy#

Raphael: #So we don't need permission for nothing #Touch like you wanna be touched, yeah #Kiss like you wanna be kissed, yeah #Oh, we don't need permission for nothing #Drink like you wanna be drunk, yeah #Feel like you wanna feel something#

All: #Oh, we don't need permission #For nothing #Touch like you wanna be touched, yeah #Kiss like you wanna be kissed, yeah #Oh, we don't need permission for nothing #Drink like you wanna be drunk, yeah #Feel like you wanna feel something #Oh #To love, to love, to love #We don't need permission to love#

Ms. Jackson: Nice performance. Let's go back, we can come back here some other time.

Everyone: (laughs)
