In the rightdirection...

No-one can see.

I better get home.

Ah! God! So turned on.

(Laughs) I'll have to go

straight home and pull myself.

You don't do that, do you?

- You joking?

- Why do you need to?

Because it's fun!

Can you see if you can stop?

Mmm.

Have you seen my Cleo

magazine?

No.

THE MASTER'S APPRENTICES:

It's because I love you...

- What's this?

- Give it back.

- A love letter!

- Eric, give it back to him.

TEACHER:

Quieten down, you lot,

and that includes the peanut

gallery at the back.

- Thank you.

- Give it back!

TEACHER:
Now, will you all

please open your books

to page 97...

TIM:
Idiot!

TEACHER:
We are now going

to further investigate...

.. the topological formation

of our own continent.

There are, as you know,

14 major tectonic plates.

If you don't know

them already,

write them down,

because you need to know them.

They are of course,

first, the Eurasian plate,

two, Australian-Indian,

three, Philippines,

four, Pacific,

five, Juan de Fuca...

I expected more of you, Caleo.

Six, Nazca,

seven, Cocos.

TIM:
We love each other. What

are you going to do about it?

JOHN:
Tim!

You're mumbling, Tim.

We love each other

and what are you

going to do about it?

Father, please!

This can't get around.

I'm afraid

it's too late for that.

There are people in this place

that want to discipline you.

You're quite the topic of

conversation in the staffroom.

Why haven't

they tried to stop us?

The lay staffwould like to...

.. but the Jesuits

look out for you.

We've seen this before.

- (Scoffs)

- Be careful, Tim.

Yes, Father.

Not everything

has to be political.

Doesn't it?

Tim, there will be

other battles,

and they will need

educated people to fight them.

Don't jeopardise your

schooling over this, boys.

Bless us, O Lord,

and these, thy gifts

we are about to receive

from thy bounty.

Through Christ, our Lord,

amen.

ALL:
Amen.

Tim?

Thank you, Mrs Caleo.

Lovely manners.

BOB:
What about you?

Do you want an onion?

There you go.

What about you?

TIM:
No, I'm right

at the moment.

- It's really good, Mum.

- That's really nice, Mum.

MOTHER:
Is it, darling?

John, er... John's changed.

We've all noticed.

Ever since he's been

hanging around with you.

He's come out of himself.

Lois and I are very grateful.

We'd like to thank you.

He's a great guy.

Mum's rule - friends sleep

in here on a school night,

otherwise I stay up yakking.
