and... uhh... we went down there

anyway... the two of us

and... uhh... he talked about you know

the terrible crime that

Shane had committed

I listened to all this... and... uhh

and I said, "What do you

want to do about it?"

and he said, "Well, I'd prefer if

Shane didn't come back next term."

I said, "Fine, you know,

I don't want him to come back

to this stupid, f***ing

c*nt of a place, anyway. " you know?

that was more or less how it ended

and I went off

do you want to go back and

see your old teacher?

what do I want to... Spellman?

no I don't think I have to

my dad did a pretty good job in there

I think he's probably exiled himself

to somewhere far away... you know?

well I think he had him up...

up on the... f***ing thrown against

the wall... you know?

you know shouting and cursing

and being a racist prick you know

I mean he had a happy childhood

I mean uhh... the education

didn't spoil that in any way

he just didn't contribute to his

development in any way

we got on basically that

I got kicked out of school

because I was such an outrageous

little turd in England... right?

I was obviously turning into

a complete scumbag

right... you know what I mean?

the more time I spent

in England right... yeah?

right... yeah... you know what I mean?

yeah? like... from being a decent person

yeah... like uhh... you'd notice it

tell us about uhh... falling in love...

where'd you meet?

in a pub

why did I ask that question. . .

why did I ask that question

his best friend was a friend of mine

- Spider the tin whistle player

- oh I tell ya

and it was because of him

that we kept meeting

and then there was one day

I just looked at him and saw beauty

where before I'd seen hideous

-arrogance and...

- obnoxiousticity

I think he's such a strong personality

and has such a sense of... he's so spirited

and he has so much a sense of adventure

and so much fearlessness around

um... around doing things in public

doing things like going on stage

starting bands

umm... going out dressed up

in all kinds of weird clothes

and getting into all kinds of trouble

things that I wouldn't have

had the nerve to do myself

that's... that's what I find so appealing is

that you know... umm...

the sheer nerve...

and the... and the exuberance...

and the imagination

what makes you happy?

you do

how do I make you happy?

it can't be explained in words... you know

maybe in Irish it could be... you know?

it's a larger vocabulary... you know? like

- hmm?

- anything?

can we go in there?

hey... look at this... this bike

this is uhh... a fifty pound

bag for a junkie... right?

all he needs is a hacksaw... right?

take that bike up sell it tomorrow
