Synopsis: Despite having a drunken, abusive father and a brother who leads a local gang John McGill is a studious boy for whom a bright educational future seems to beckon. However his studiousness isolates him and when he is invited to join the gang it gives him a sense of belonging. However he becomes increasingly more violet, stabbing a boy in the neck, for which his brother is blamed and jailed, and dropping a breeze block on a rival gang leader, causing him permanent brain damage. John is temporarily thrown out of his home by his mother and suspended from school though when he is readmitted he is placed in the remedial class. John now has no interest in education but in being the top boy amongst the NEDS or non-educated delinquents. He is invincible, and even the lions at the local safari park let him pass without attacking him.

Both of you, you're expelled!

Mr Muirhead. This is your last day

- Whats so f***ing important?

- Think I've been stabbed.

Right...

Marcus...

...est..

..inn...

...horto...

Anybody tell me

where you would find Marcus?

As usual I'll turn to the knowledgeable

Mr McGill to provide the answer.

Mr McGill'?

Mr McGill, are you with us?

What?

I said if a Roman said to you,

"Marcus est in horto,"

where would you find Marcus?

Who?

Now, you see,

such is Mr McGill's modesty,

that he feigns ignorance in order

to avoid embarrassing you all.

If a Roman said to you,

"Marcus est in horto,"

where would you find Marcus?

Dunno.

- I think you do.

- Just said I dunno.

Right.

Well, you're obviously

all still in holiday mode,

so I want you to turn to page 7A

in your textbooks,

and reacquaint yourselves

with basic first year Latin.

- Is anything the matter, John?

- Get your f***ing hand off us, man.

What did you say to me?

- Have you done this?

- No.

- I think you did.

- I didn't.

- You did this, didn't you?

- No.

Right, come on.

Stand up. Up you get.

And come with me.

Come on. Down here.

You stand here. Stand here.

Now...

...in the 3 years I have been

at this school,

this has never been used.

Now...l am prepared to overlook both

your belligerency and your vandalism,

if I am given first an admission

and, secondly, an apology.

Don't even know what you said.

I find it difficult to believe

that in the space of 6 weeks,

you have suddenly

degenerated into idiocy.

- So now I'm stupid?

- I don't have to take this.

So what you gonna do about it?

I'll tell you what,

tell me to put my hands up,

then lash me with that belt
