CONOR:
You can’t just change in the middle
of the year. Just when I’m making
friends and settling in. This could
scar me. Long-term!
ROBERT:
Just deal with this, Conor. You
know what the Christian Brother’s
motto is? “Viriliter Age”. That
means “Act Manly”.
This meeting is over.

Brendan gets up. He squeezes Conor’s shoulder, big brother
style, and exits. His parents go about their business. We
push in on Conor, alone.
EXT. CONOR’S HOUSE (CONTINUOUS) - DAY
The door slams as Conor exits his house, zipping up his
jacket. He marches down the driveway. He wears brown cords
with a slight flare to them. Leather shoes. Jumper.
This is a leafy suburb of Dublin. Middle class, safe,
protected. But Conor’s house stands out. It has seen better
days. It needs a new coat of paint, and the garden could do
with a mow. A car is parked in the driveway, but hasn’t been
used in a good while. Three push bikes are leaning against
the gate instead.
He walks up the street with his hands in his pockets.
EXT. JESUIT SCHOOL SPORTS GROUND - DAY
This is a large sports ground in a leafy Jesuit school. Nice,
red brick buildings, very peaceful. It’s the weekend, and
students are practicing track, rugby, cricket. A big copper
beech tree shades the Cricket Training net.
Conor is at the wicket, bat in hand. Two FRIENDS are playing
with him. They all speak with posh, South-side accents.
CONOR:
So guys, I’m not coming back after
the break.
FRIEND 1
The hell? Why?
CONOR:
The old pair are moving me to a
different school.
FRIEND 2
D*cks. Why?
CONOR:
They say they have no money.
The ball whizzes past him. He misses by a mile, throwing down
the bat in frustration. They take a break.
CONOR:
But we still hang out, yeah?
FRIEND 2
Totally man.
(CONTINUED)
9.
CONOR:
At weekends and stuff. Right?
FRIEND 1
Absolutely. So where are you going?
Conlets?
Conor doesn’t respond.
FRIEND 2
Gonzaga?
CONOR:
Synge Street.
His friends exchange looks after they see he’s not joking.
CONOR:
What?? It can’t be that bad?
One of them mock-hugs him.
FRIEND 2
Seriously bro, it’s been nice
knowing you.
His friends laugh. We hold on Conor, the gravity of his
situation sinking in.
INT. JESUIT SCHOOL OFFICE - MOMENTS LATER
Conor is sitting in a cosy, large office. Across from him,
his history teacher, and headmaster, FATHER WAITS (late 50s).
Fr. Waits smokes a pipe, sitting on the edge of his desk. He
is prematurely grey, and has a warm, understanding
appearance. His SECRETARY, a heavy woman in her fifties, sits
in an anteroom, typing, off.
FATHER WAITS:
We’ll be sorry to be losing you.
Synge Street was a fine school in
its day. It has a poor reputation
now, but I’m sure that’s
exaggerated. The Christian Brothers
can be a little tough to my mind,
but they get the work done.
