Okay Ned,
you've got 90 minutes.
Any subject you like,
time starts now.
We all have one
thing we're ashamed of.
The memory of one
moment so embarrassing
we don't think we'll
ever get over it.
us at four A.M. sweating.
My terrible moment happened
because I was afraid,
I was afraid because I
lost the only true friend
I'd ever known.
People do bad
things out of fear.
For me, the good life ended
when mum died a few years back.
Suddenly, dad married Natalie.
They were living in Dubai
and I was in boarding school
in the middle of nowhere.
A school where rugby
was a religion.
Where I was persecuted daily.
I mean, legally you
guys shouldn't be able
to force me to go to school.
Legally I'm basically an adult.
You're basically an adult
but you're actually like 16.
Yes, 16 is your actual age.
Which is why the
idea of us letting
you leave school is absurd.
So you're pretty much
sending me to jail?
Even prisoners make
an effort to fit in.
They do jigsaws together, play
ping pong with each other.
Could you please
listen to yourself
for the briefest of moments?
Excuse me?
Ned, conforming is
early would be sending
you to jail in a way.
Boys that leave school at
your age doom themselves
to a life of sweeping
up supermarket floors.
Dad was obsessed with
the guys who swept
supermarket floors.
And then crime, naturally.
Natalie, Adam Quinn's
boy, he was expelled
from school last year, now
apparently, he's a bum in Paris.
No way, really?
Yes, reading his poetry
on the Metro for money.
Practically begging,
it's desperately sad.
A bum in Paris.
I would've loved that.
But was I bad enough
to get expelled?
This year would tell.
Have my own room, magical.
Did you just say you
have your own room?
No way, let me see.
Oh.
Ladies and gentlemen,
my tormenter in chief.
Okay.
Maybe the reason you
have your own room
is so nobody gets
bummed, you know,
in the middle of the night.
And hello to you too weasel.
I trust the summer
treated you well.
I trust the summer
treated you well.
Oh, you are an utter bender.
Weasel, you f***ing ledge,
I haven't seen you in ages.
Alright.
Back to jail
and just like prison,
if nobody likes
who you really are,
then buddy, you better
hide yourself away.
Here's an example,
for English essays,
I stole the lyrics
from obscure songs,
the very old Mr. Fatrell
would never know.
But it was a private joke.
But nobody else knew the songs
or cared one way or the other.
Everyone at Woodhill college
was obsessed with rugby.
And I didn't hate
rugby but what happened
if you didn't love it?
Yeah, that sound means gay.
I have no idea why it means that
but believe me,
I heard it a lot.
I should explain.
Gay means crap,
bad, or different
and the fear of being
in any way different
ran through our school
from top to bottom.
Ask the lady to dance
and then, you know,
you get into a sort of a,
member it's kind of that
but do not do that, okay.
So any questions?
There were other
kinds of schools, of course.
Cool, modern day schools
where anything went.
But not here.
Today, we're gonna
be looking at...
talking about sexual identity
to anyone in our school, that
was like staring at the sun.
Have you any idea?
It seemed, you
could be whoever you liked
out in the world.
But our school wasn't
a part of the world.
Firstly, some sad news.
After a short illness
our dear colleague
and friend, Glen
Fatrell, has passed on.
Units, which will
mean some reshuffling
in the English department.
In honor of our recently
deceased English teacher,
one victorious
student will be chosen
the national essay
writing competition.
There is a first
prize of five grand.
As a donation to the school.
Now, rugby.
Did you ever
meet an adult who wishes
they were a kid again?
That was our headmaster, Walter.
This school has
won 17 senior cups.
But it has been a long
decade since the last.
We have a fine crop of players.
support our fantastic coach,
Mr. Pascal O'keefe.
As for this guy, rumor
had it Pascal's wife left him
because he was too
obsessed with rugby.
And that, that's the guy
who changed everything.
Guys, guys.
show your mother your digs,
I need you to
promise me something,
I'm told you left
your old school
for repeated and
persistent fighting?
We're happy to
educate you as long
as that kind of behavior remains
in your past, understood?
Follow me.
Get out of that bin Kennedy
Yes sir, because
it's all my fault.
Apology accepted.
is a former pupil.
We've a fantastic crop
of players this year.
Men, Sonny.
Just one more till to the title.
Training starts tomorrow,
do not be late for Pascal.
Nice boy called
Ned is this room.
Parents live in Dubai.
What sort of a boy is Ned?
Veracious reader.
Well, I'll leave you
to say your farewells.
Honey I'm sorry your
dad didn't make it.
He wanted to, he was just...
drunk?
He's busy, he's
incredibly busy with work,
you know how hard he
works, he's flat out.
Just a hug.
Are you okay, miss?
Give me a second.
I can't share with
a guy like him.
Ned, Ned, Ned.
You know, my time on the
was rewarding on so many levels.
Beaver whacking, orienteering,
the nautical art
of making knots.
And although I may not
be able to remember how
and two half hitches,
I will never forget the
lasting bond of friendship
that ensued.
Sir, the Geneva convention.
My decision is final.
Leave.
Yes, this was a
blow but it wasn't
as if the rugby team
would be congregating
in my bedroom.
We heard you were coming.
Yes, you're younger
than us but Pascal says,
if you're good enough,
you're old enough.
Look, Conor, this is the
last year for this dream team,
alright, we all
leave in the summer,
I've been captain twice
and I'll never compete
again, unfortunately,
so we have to end
this thing this year.
If I'm being honest
with you, I don't think
around again for this school.
Training starts tomorrow, six.
Do not be late, do not be
late, seriously, big no no.
This is your roommate.
I was really starting
to wonder for a second.
I mean, this is a picture
of two guys wearing
the face off each other, Conor.
I mean, really.
That's not mine.
Touch me, homo and
I call rape, okay.
Jesus.
Weasel, give it a rest.
Conor, you're gonna have
to seriously consider
moving rooms, okay?
You're gonna get aids in here.
We cannot have a
teammate giving us aids
in the middle of a scrum.
Yeah, I'm not
totally sure that's how
Go f*** yourself, Spainer.
And as for you, you just
made weasel's sh*t list.
Coming?
You were wondering
