The Luck of the Irish Page #3

---

Then he measures my vertical jump.

Man, if I could touch the rim...

Man, you sure are lucky.

What does luck have to do

with how high you can jump?

You're the luckiest guy in school, Kyle,

everybody knows it.

You know what, I think it's

because of that lucky charm.

Maybe it really works.

- What, this?

Nah, this is just

something my mom gave me

when I was a baby.

Hey, check it out!

Somebody lost $10!

Luck and a half, man.

You're always finding

money lying in the street.

Hey, we're a team, all right?

I'll split it with you.

Cool.

Hey, man, check it out.

Hey, you know what?

I saw that guy on TV once.

No, no, no. The thing behind him...

it's the same as my coin.

I thought it was, like,

Chinese or something.

Hey, you know what?

I think this guy's Irish.

Maybe my mom's Irish.

[ MAN ]:
Top o' the morning

to you, heh heh.

Top o' the morning to you.

Heh heh. Top o' the morning

to you, heh heh.

Hi.

Yo, the feet are the bomb,

but, like, what's with the arms?

It's something called Step Dancing.

Now, why wouldn't your mother

want you to know if she was Irish?

I don't know.

I just get this really weird feeling

whenever I talk to her.

I mean, it's like they

don't want me to know

anything about my heritage.

I didn't know you really cared

about this heritage stuff.

Well, I don't.

I mean, I didn't, anyway.

Now I feel like

I'm missing something.

Yeah.

Top o' the morning to you.

Ah, sweetie, top o' the morning to you.

[ SHRIEKS ]

Ha, maybe I should read this.

Look!

Heh, they have these good luck

thingies like yours.

Those are just, you know, fake.

Mine's real gold.

Right.

[ IRISH ACCENT ]

You can always tell the real thing.

Yeah, I guess so.

Did you make those yourself,

or is it your ma still does it for you,

and you half-grown?

You mean, my shoes?

They're called basketball shoes, Sir.

Yeah, you buy them at a store?

At the store, is it? Oh!

[ KYLE ]:
Yeah. Ow!

And what'll become of your feet

when the road becomes

hard and stony?

Oh, look at this, boyo.

Good Irish leather, eh?

Soft as a spring shower

and tough as a landlord's heart.

Hey! You can't put your feet up there.

Get the boys a bag of spuds.

Hey, how'd you do--

[ RUSSELL ]:
Where'd he go?

[ ANNOUNCER ]:

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Seamus McTiernan, Saint of the Step!

[ IRISH ACCENT]:
If you hail

from the shores of the Emerald Isle,

or wish you did...

if the blood in your veins

is as green as a shamrock

and your heart's full of blarney,

then the Saint of the Step loves you!

If you believe in the Little People,

and you know that there's a pot o' gold
