You know, my time on the

boy scouts as a young man

was rewarding on so many levels.

Beaver whacking, orienteering,

the nautical art

of making knots.

And although I may not

be able to remember how

to fashion a round turn

and two half hitches,

I will never forget the

lasting bond of friendship

that ensued.

Sir, the Geneva convention.

My decision is final.

Leave.

Yes, this was a

blow but it wasn't

as if the rugby team

would be congregating

in my bedroom.

We heard you were coming.

Yes, you're younger

than us but Pascal says,

if you're good enough,

you're old enough.

Look, Conor, this is the

last year for this dream team,

alright, we all

leave in the summer,

I've been captain twice

and I'll never compete

again, unfortunately,

so we have to end

this thing this year.

If I'm being honest

with you, I don't think

the chance is gonna come

around again for this school.

Training starts tomorrow, six.

Do not be late, do not be

late, seriously, big no no.

This is your roommate.

I was really starting

to wonder for a second.

I mean, this is a picture

of two guys wearing

the face off each other, Conor.

I mean, really.

That's not mine.

Touch me, homo and

I call rape, okay.

Jesus.

Weasel, give it a rest.

Conor, you're gonna have

to seriously consider

moving rooms, okay?

You're gonna get aids in here.

We cannot have a

teammate giving us aids

in the middle of a scrum.

Yeah, I'm not

totally sure that's how

the HIV virus is transmitted.

Go f*** yourself, Spainer.

And as for you, you just

made weasel's sh*t list.

Coming?

You were wondering

if there's another room

you could sleep in?

But what's wrong with the

room that you already have?

My roommate.

As a new boy, it

can be, it can be...

It can be what?

It's just, you can be.

Go back to your room Conor.

Good man.

The Berlin wall

was built overnight.

The world woke up

the morning after

and there it was.

Now, I'm no communist

but there's a lot

to be said for

acting decisively.

Did you know lizards

can regrow their tails?

That's how it was in our

school with English teacher.

One dies, another

grows in it's place.

No big deal.

Darren Finnigan.

Did you make that absurd noise?

Age 16, birthday June,

shoe size eight and a half,

fan of formula one car

racing, allergic to milk

and therefore all dairy, surely.

Father, management consultant,

mother stay at home mom,

bed wetter, I'd imagine,

and a coward for sure.

Congratulations Mr. Finnigan,

you are today's winner

of the witless tool

competition, be gone.

Anyone else?

No?

Good.

How did I look at that

stuff about Darren?

I read it.

And I read about each and

every one of you similarly.
