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."

I'm tired of this constant nagging. It's like you're turning into one of your sisters. And I'm tired of your drinking and feeling sorry for yourself. Feeling sorry for myself? # I'll be the mechanic of your heart... # Half the bloody country is out of work. - You're not that special. - Oh, let me out of here. # And with a wrench, I'll take you apart... # - It's my bloody house. - Your bloody house? Brilliant. I've been paying the mortgage on it for the last 15 years. If we didn't share a mortgage, I would leave you. # If we didn't share a mortgage # # I would leave you... # - I've had enough of it. - Go on and leave any time you like. # Go on and leave any time you like... # Go on then, you stupid bitch. # You stupid bitch... # Though there are still no accurate figures for the number of young Irish people coming to London in search of work, the crude indications that do exist show an enormous increase. Many take the boat with barely enough money to survive a few days in London, but still they emigrate because they see hope across the sea, hope they cannot see in Ireland.

Do you see that guitar? I used to be able to play that guitar... well. I used to ride hot girls. I could run 200 meters faster than anybody in my school. You're the youngest. You get to follow the path that I macheted through the jungle that is our mad family. I was alone with them for six years. You think they're crazy now? Think about what they were like when they were in their late 20s. Two Catholics in a rented flat with a screaming baby, who just got married because they wanted to have sex. They didn't even love each other. I was in the middle of that, alone. And then you came along. Thank God! And you followed... the path that I cut for us. Untouched. You just moved in my jet stream. And people laugh at me, Conor. The stoner, the college dropout. And they praise you, which is fine! But once... I was a fucking jet engine!

Have you seen "Back to the Future"? I see all the films. Imagine the band, all in suits. I have all the shots planned in my head. My brother told me to think big. And what if I come in a big '50s dress? Yeah. And the whole crowd parts and everyone disappears. And then we all break out into this big dance routine, and everyone is there.

Okay, well, it's just kind of like '50s dancing, and... Like what? It's... like dancing from the '50s, you know, clicking fingers and... Can we try some now, actually? Just... Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. Yeah, maybe do a few twirls and stuff. Just do what's natural. Make it as natural as possible. Let's get some playback.
