I bought these before I knew about the shoe color policy here at Synge Street. But it's not as if they're runners or something. They're... they're brown. They're-they're quite sensible. They're not black. I'm-I'm not sure what you want me to do. Take them off. You can leave them at the door there. Seeing as you're so fond of them, you can pick them up here at 4:00 every day until you comply with the rules of the school. What? See you.

So, how come you're not in school? I don't go to school. I'm a model. Cool, like, for magazines? I'm going to London soon. Just waiting for my portfolio shots. There's no real work for models in Dublin, you know? Yeah, tell me about it. Do you want to be in a video? It's for my band. You're in a band? Yes, and we need a girl for it. Have you ever been in a video before? No. Is that a problem? I hope not. I'll ask the producer. Who's the producer? That kid behind me.

So, if you're in a band, sing me a song. I can't sing out here. You're gonna have to sing for, like, thousands of people. I'm just one. Sing. Don't make me sing. Jesus. Sing that song off the radio. You know, the one by A-ha. Sing it. Sing it. # Take... # Sorry. # Take... # No, it's too low. # Take on me # # Take me on. # That's all I know.
