How do Jordan and Artan meet and bond over shared interests?
This is Drama of the Week.
You know sometimes someone new comes into your life at just the right moment. Like, you need them. And yeah, they need you. I used to like Saturdays, at home, as a boy. Saturdays was fun, and I was cool. But here at car wash, Saturdays are stressful. Too busy. Like all the people I've known forever don't know what to say or do or how to be around me no more. Car after car after car, or a whip as the local wheelchair boys say. But for some reason on this Saturday morning, I turn left into the car wash by the big roundabout, the car wash I always drive past. Back home, in Albania, we say makin, or ger. I always said ger, though, because it sounds like car, sounds more English. But on this Saturday, something makes me turn in.
Even though I've never really got a car washed before, but now I'm driving Dad's car.
What challenges does Jordan face while looking for a job?
It's different. Everything's different. And to my people, English is money. English is cool. English is bad, man.
Uncle tells me off for daydreaming.
And you don't argue with Uncle Vin.
I'm the best at valets, so Vin lets me do them. I like doing valets when nice whip. Not when old, full of rubbish and smells of wet dogs and dirty nappies. This one here, nice whip though. Audi. My favorite. Audi S3. Sexy.
How does Artan's background influence his perspective on life in England?
Mini valet please, mate. Sure. Nice whip, mate. Safe, bruv. A nice song. Oh, you like Potterpaper, yeah? Yeah, of course. Potterpaper's best UK rapper. You got good taste, bruv. In cars and rap. I like Potterpaper accent, too. I'm Potterpaper and I'm from Barking. That's not bad. I'll do the boot first, okay?
Nah, nah, leave the boot, actually, mate. Well, I have enough time. Nah, leave it.
Trust me, it's full of... That's a lot of trainers, mate. How many? 100 pairs? I know, it's bad. I got a problem. Nah, they're nice. Why is it a problem? Well, they're expensive, innit? True. You're a money man. No, not at all. No, I wish I was a money man.
What unexpected situation do Jordan and Artan find themselves in at the car wash?
Me too. Those red Jordans there are sexy. Sexy red. You're funny, bro. I'm funny? You're the one whose boots look like a trainer's stockroom. Like a JD Sports, yeah? What? JD Sport's not cool? Nah, mate, I don't. I used to work at the JD Sport in Bath, that's all. Ah, nice job. Yeah, it was alright, till I got fired. Fired? Why? It's a long story, bruv. Okay. But one question. Yeah? Why do you keep the trainers in your boot? Are you homeless? Is your car your wardrobe too? No, I got a home, bruv. My mum's always going on at me, though, like, oh, you don't need that many trainers. So I had to hide some in my car. Well, your mum has a point. I'll take those sexy red Jordans for you. Nice try. No, they're exclusive. I've never worn them.
How does the dynamic between Jordan and Artan change as the story progresses?
Well, I'll test them out for you. Oh, your boss is looking over, by the way. Ah, shit. Thanks. I better do the valet quickly. Yeah, thanks, mate. Pleasure. What's your name? Jordan. Like the shoes. Yeah, yeah, like the shoes, bro. My guy, Jordan with the Jordans. I'm Artan. Nice one, Artan. The next Saturday morning, about the same time, 11.30, I go back to the car wash. I've got to keep the whip nice, for Dad, innit? And our town seems cool. Like, easy to chat to and that. And I don't feel like that with many people, to be honest. I can't see him, though, at first. There's a few other guys rushing round, busy. Then I spot him doing the valets again. Yes! Ah, safe, bruv. You're alright. It's me, mate. Remember? Hello?
From last Saturday morning. Can I help you?
What leads to the pivotal moment of conflict between Jordan and Artan?
Come on, you must remember the whip, bro, surely? We get loads of outies come through. Yeah, of course. Trainer guy though, Jordan. No? Okay, yeah, that's cool. Mini valet again, please. I'm joking with you, bruv. Of course I remember JD's Fort Jordan. How could I forget? You have me then, bruv. I was pranging, thinking I was proper boring and forgettable. Nah, of course not. You stick in my mind. As soon as I hear Potter Paper playing, I know it's you. And I'll always remember this car. Best Audi S3 I've seen at car wash ever. Serious? Serious. Very sexy S3. You use the word sexy a lot, innit? I know, my uncle says that too. Artan, stop saying sexy words to customers. People will think you're weird.
