ONE MONTH EARLIER
INT. CONOR’S KITCHEN (CONTINUOUS) - DAY
Finally, the sound of someone racing down the stairs from
above. The door opens and BRENDAN, (20), tumbles into the
room carrying an ash tray, glass of wine, tobacco pouch,
rolling papers and matches. He sits down at the vacant seat,
beside his brother. Brendan has long hair, and a moustache.
He’s handsome.
BRENDAN:
This meeting has been called to
order. Pray proceed.
He lights a cigarette.
ROBERT:
Okay, so we wanted to talk about
finances. Penny?
PENNY:
What? Go ahead.
BRENDAN:
(to his brother)
This is going to be heavy.
ROBERT:
Well, as you might have noticed-
your mother and I are really
struggling at the moment, like the
rest of the country. I haven’t had
a single commission this year. Your
mother is on a three day week. It
doesn’t look like it’s going to get
much brighter.
(CONTINUED)
6.
He knocks back his drink. The kids wait for what’s coming
next.
PENNY:
So we’ve had a look through the
accounts, and we see quite a
significant saving if we were to
alter the education situation.
CONOR:
What “education situation”?
BRENDAN:
(intuiting)
He means your school. They’re
taking you out of school.
CONOR:
(excited)
What?!
ROBERT:
We’re not taking you out of school.
We’re transferring you from one
school to another.
CONOR:
Why!?
ROBERT:
We have to make some cuts to the
budget. I’d suggest taking your
brother out of college, but he’s
already dropped out of his own
volition.
BRENDAN:
(raising a glass)
Thank you Dad.
CONOR:
Cuts? I’m already wearing three
jumpers, indoors. And a hat. I read
by candlelight! And it’s the 1980s.
I’m like Tiny Tim up there!
Brendan laughs.
ROBERT:
Don’t act so entitled. I grew up in
a council house with five brothers.
BRENDAN:
(mock surprised)
Really? Tell us about that dad. For
the first time ever.
(CONTINUED)
PENNY:
there’s no transport costs. You can
cycle in. And you can get lunch
back here. There’s two savings
already! It’s a non-fee paying
school.
ROBERT:
Those Jesuits are far too soft on
you anyway.
BRENDAN:
The Jesuits have a long history of
education.
ROBERT:
So do the Christian Brothers.
Silence.
CONOR:
Who are the Christian Brothers?
BRENDAN:
The Christian Brothers, Conor, are
a order of the Catholic Church,
appointed in the education,
formation, and beating of their
young charges.
ROBERT:
Oh be quiet Brendan! Six years at
the hands of the Jesuits yourself,
and look at what they did for you!
BRENDAN:
Well they didn’t beat me.
PENNY:
Brendan! Cut that out. Synge Street
is a perfectly reputable school.
You’ll settle in in no time.
