a particularly tiresome case

of truancy

and parental neglect.

His recommendation

is that the children be sent

to separate institutions

for their own educational

benefits and welfare.

Daddy!

Daddy!

Hold it down now.

Down the stairs.

Dad!

Good afternoon, sisters.

Well, there is punctuality

for you, Sister Sumta.

4 o'clock the man said,

and 4 o'clock it is.

What way did you come?

The Cong Road, Mother

Superior. And you were right.

They've had terrible floods

in Maam Cross.

Noah had nothing

on the west of Ireland,

isn't that

the truth of us?

Take the child,

Sister Sumta.

Don't worry about those

frightsy b*tches of nuns.

I'll show you

how to beat them.

Come on, Christina,

quickly.

They're gone.

By the light

of the silvery moon

I want to spoon

To my honey,

I'll croon love's tune

Honey moon,

keep a-shinin' in June

Your silvery beams

will bring love's dreams

We'll be cuddlin' soon

By the silvery moon

Christina,

you can come in now.

Take a seat.

Well, you're a tonic,

Mr. Brendan.

You really are.

Now, Christina, I hope you

said thank you to Mr. Brendan

for returning you

safely

from your little farlay

into the great beyond.

Thank you again,

Mr. Brendan.

He tells me

that you have a great talent.

Want to be nurtured carefully

at this tender age mind.

What with the potential

to blossom

into a wonderful national,

even international career.

Where did you say you had

your contacts, Mr. Brendan?

The Royal Albert Hall

in London,

Radio City in New York.

The Conservatoire in Paris.

Oh, yes, we mustn't forget

the Conservatoire.

There's only one problem.

What's that,

Mother Superior?

That... That is...

That is that your name

isn't Doris Day, is it?

Do you actually

love those people?

Because I won't be a friend

for much longer if you do.

I know I should forgive them

but I'm not going to.

I'm going to stand up to them.

An eye for an eye,

a tooth for a tooth,

a slap for a slap.

Isn't that what you said

about something

that got in your way?

Don't worry, I wasn't

really gonna hit them.

It's just that you know

what's going on in my head.

I know I've taken

a few bad knocks.

I'm not saying

that was your fault.

Because I know you've got

a much better future

in store for me.

Hey, Irish,

you left your book behind.

I'll pick it up later.

Okay, in you go.

Excuse me...

Floor moving.

Yeah,

going up in the world.

That's lovely,

thank you.

It's great, Meiyang.

Okay, out we go.

Not allowed to bring

these bui doi children

into the hotel.

Why not?

Do you not like Vietnamese

people staying here?

Thank you.

Xin chao.

Xin chao.

Is that another glass

half empty I see?
