This meeting has been called to order. Pray proceed. Well, as some of you may have noticed, your mother and I really are under a lot of pressure at the moment. Like the rest of the country. I haven't had a single commission this year. Your mother is down to a three-day week. It doesn't look like it's going to get much brighter. So we had a look at our accounts, and... well, we-we see we could make a significant saving if we altered the education situation. What education situation? - Well... - She means your school. They're taking you out of school. - What? - No, no. We're not taking you out of school. We're transferring you from one school - to another school. - Why? Because we need to make some cuts in the budget somewhere. I'd suggest taking your brother out of college, but he's already dropped out of his own volition. Thank you, Robert. The Christian Brothers have a fine history of education. Who are the Christian Brothers? The Christian Brothers are an educational institution - formed by... - The Christian Brothers, Conor, are an order of the Catholic Church self-appointed in their education formation and systematic beating of their young charges. Oh, shut up, Brendan. Six years in the hands of the Jesuits, and look what they did for you. You're just gonna have to face up to this, Conor. Do you know what the Christian Brothers' motto is? "Viriliter Age." Do you know what that means? "Let's rape our students"? No, Brendan, it doesn't. It means "act manly."
