The careers adviser is impressed; Anwar asks which gang he can be a part of. The careers adviser tells him that she can't help. Tony's questionnaire says that he can be anything that he wants to be. The careers adviser asks what he wants to be, to which he replies "Elvis". The careers adviser says that she "just wanted to make a difference". Tony asks her if she is "more of a Beatles fan", leaving by calling her a "hippie". Michelle then enters, at which point the careers adviser is under the desk. Michelle’s questionnaire says that she is very good at languages. They then start talking in French. The careers adviser shows prospectuses and Michelle tells her that she wants to go to a university that is far, far away, to which the careers adviser suggests The University of Strathclyde (which in fact does not have a specific Languages course).

Chris tells 'God' that his mum used to take him and his brother to Sunday School and he loved the stories especially "Jonno" and the Whale, who went to Ayia Napa instead of Jerusalem. Chris reflects that his 3 minutes of death was like Jonno being in the whale before being spat back out, as he forgave people. He ends the message thanking God for sparing him and then ending with "They say the good die young. I suppose that makes perfect sense then."
