Her head is clear, her head in curls Her eyes are broad and full of light Come on tonight, are you ready? It's almost time for school. There's me little Einstein.

D'argh, stop. You look deadly. I look like an idiot. No, to go away with it.

You look dead posh. Exactly. You go show them posh bitches what you're made of then. It'll be great.

I'm a great guy. Bye. Love Is Sinead going to St. Dervis? Yeah, she got a scholarship or something. That's just what people say about her.

Shut up you jealous bitch! She's always the smartest in the class. Go on Sinead! Sharon wants to be the one To fill your heart, to bring the sun You shouldn't care...

Excuse me, do you know where there's a bike rack? I don't know if there is one. No one's likely to...

Don't try and cause too much drama. Thanks, dad. Like, if she had any real friends, they'd tell her she needs to like stop with the filters like we already know what you really look like how's it going what year are you going into six oh same results deadly where are you from Hazelwood.

Do you mean the council estate? Is everyone at St. Dervis as ignorant and arsehole as you? You do know that you're not allowed to wear those earrings? What the fuck do my earrings have to do with anything? Da bigger da hoop, da bigger da hoe.

For every finger you point at me, there's three pointing right back at you. My dad isn't paying all this money for me to hang around with knackers. Don't worry, you won't have to.

Today I am here in Boris and Nasseri with Padraig O'Loughlin, a man who claims to be a leprechaun whisperer. Padder, please tell us, where are the leprechauns? Sinead! They'll be dancing in the field over there on a Sunday. Drinking the whisky, having a great crack.

Any pots of gold? Sinead! Sinead!

Just people haven't even started yet. I don't want to talk about it. Where are you going to tell Kelly Harrington, huh? You quit after the first punch? We didn't raise you to quit after one fucking punch.

You told me to choose my battles. I don't want to even breathe the same air as them. Ah, Sinead.

You can't all be arseholes. There's sound people and arseholes everywhere. If everyone's being an arsehole and nobody's being sound, you be the sound one.

Da, stop. I'm not going. Jesus, Sinead.

Yo, bullshit. Just nyanma! How's it going? Welcome to another episode of the Dark Side of Science Sinead, Róisín's here to see you Who? Your ma's friend, your godmother How's it going?

Sure aren't you the spit of your man? Thanks Awwww How's things with you? Grant, sure you know yourself? And your dad tells me you won a scholarship to the best school in Ireland And you won't go?

They're all arseholes Oh I see Your ma was a beautiful woman, inside and out. And when she asked me to be your godmother, I said, should I live miles away? What use would I be? But she reminded me that a godmother is only supposed to be the child's spiritual guide, and I only needed to come.

If they put out a bat signal and your dad called me and he said tis a bat signal kind of day Look I can't speak for your mam but I think she would want you to go back in there and rule the school You're a very special girl and It would be a tragedy to let that magnificent brain of yours go to waste. Thanks. You're on your own journey.

I can't tell you what to do. But let me ask you this. Would you like a life lived in fear or a life lived in love? Love, obviously.

Well, living in love is easy to say but very hard to do. But in my experience, if you want to live a life in love, you have to master the art of forgiveness. Do you know the Druid's Chair? Do you mean the one up on Killarney Hill that everyone goes knackeredrinking at?

Yeah, well... It's a portal. What? Now, no one's forcing you to go. But if you wear this and go to the Druid's Chair, at magic hour, you'll go on a quest.

Are you joking? I'm deadly serious. Now everyone has a unique experience. But you won't return until you find the key. Facing our fears can be scary.

You must trust the process. But once you come back... You will come back a more peaceful and loving person.

You just need to remember one thing. What? The key is forgiveness.

Hello? Hello? Laura, this is Monica.

She'll be taking care of you while I'm away next week. Hello? Hello? Now, her catheter needs to be changed at least twice a day and you need to turn her in the bed as often as you can or she'll get ulcers.

Can't she understand you? I don't think so. What happened to her? She tried to commit suicide but by the time they resuscitated her she hadn't had oxygen in her brain for at least seven minutes.

She's so pretty. You just never really know what someone's going through. I'll show you where the tales are.

Hi mum. How's it going? You must be Sinead? Yeah. Well I'm glad you could join us.

Thanks miss. What are you doing? You just gotta trust me. Yes! Wow!

No, no, no, no, close! I need to do the next one. She finds them!

Come on! Surprise! Yes! Too much. We are soft-tricks.
