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.

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.

That was a novelty act. You want to have actual sexual intercourse, right? - Yeah. What, what? - The girl. It's all about the girl, isn't it? Yeah, the girl, yeah. And you're gonna use somebody else's art to get her? Are you kidding? We're just starting. We need to learn how to play. Did the Sex Pistols know how to play? You don't need to know how to play. Who are you? Steely Dan? You need to learn how not to play, Conor. That's the trick. That's rock and roll. And that takes practice. And you're not a covers band, by the way. - Really? - No. Every school has a covers band. Every pub has a covers band. Every wedding has a covers band. And every covers band has a middle-aged member who'll never know whether they could've made it in the music industry or not because they never had the balls to write a song for someone else. Rock and roll is a risk. You risk being ridiculed. But I don't know how to write a song. Close that door and sit down. - Really? - It's gonna be a long night. I've school in the morning. This is school. "She's standing on the corner like an angel in disguise. "I want to try and warn her. She's got dangerous eyes." "Dangerous eyes." I like that. What does it mean? I don't know. What's the song about, Conor?
