Sing Street

& Robert: Do you know what the Christian Brothers’ motto is?.. «Viriliter Age.» Do you know what that means?
    Brendan: «Let’s rape our students»?
    Robert: No, Brendan, it doesn’t. It means «act manly.»

& Robert: I mean, why can’t they get them to play live? What are they trying to hide?
    Brendan: It’s because they’re in the USA. ... And this lasts forever. It’s the perfect mixture of music and visuals. It’s short, to the point. Look at it. I mean, what tyranny could stand up to that?

& Darren: Here. Check it out.
    Conor: «Darren Mulvey Business Solutions.»
    Darren: Call me anytime.
    Conor: There’s no number on it.
    Darren: Oh, no, we don’t have a phone. Just call around, yeah?

& Eamon: What kind of music are yous gonna be doing?
    Conor: Well, I-I don’t know yet.
    Eamon: What d’you mean you don’t know? You have to know what you’re gonna be playing. What are you into?
    Conor: I’m a futurist.
    Eamon: What does that mean?
    Conor: Like, uh, no nostalgia. Not like your da’s band. Not looking backwards, just forwards.
    Eamon: Oh, cool. Like Depeche Mode?
    Conor: Okay.
    Eamon: Or Joy Division?
    Conor: Right.
    Eamon: Or Duran Duran? What do you think of them?
    Conor: ... ’Jury is out on which way those guys’ll go. They’re a lot of fun, and James Taylor is one of the most proficient bass players in the UK at the moment, giving them a funky edge...’
    Eamon: John Taylor.
    Conor: Yeah, John. Of course.


& Conor: We’re just starting. We need to learn how to play.
    Brendan: Did the Sex Pistols know how to play? You don’t need to know how to play. Who are you? Steely Dan? You need to learn how not to play, Conor. That’s the trick. That’s rock and roll. And that takes practice.

& Brendan: And you’re not a covers band, by the way... No. Every school has a covers band. Every pub has a covers band. Every wedding has a covers band. And every covers band has a middle-aged member who’ll never know whether they could’ve made it in the music industry or not because they never had the balls to write a song for someone else.

& Brendan: Rock and roll is a risk. You risk being ridiculed.
    Conor: But I don’t know how to write a song.
    Brendan: Close that door and sit down. It’s gonna be a long night...

& Eamon: What’s the song about, Conor?
    Conor: It’s like when you don’t know someone, they’re more interesting. They can be anything you want them to be. But when you know them, there’s limits to them.
    Eamon: ... No, that doesn’t make any sense.

& Brendan: What was he listening to?
    Conor: Genesis.
    Brendan: He will not be a problem.
    Conor: Really?
    Brendan: Trust me. No woman can truly love a man who listens to Phil Collins.

& Conor: It’s a school band, and I think it’s important that we have a look.
    Brother Baxter: You’re a man. Men don’t wear makeup.
    Conor: But why not? People in the 18th century wore makeup. That means people like Mozart wore makeup, and he was a man.
    Brother Baxter: So you’re Mozart now, are you? That makes me Salieri, is it?
    Conor: Who’s Salieri?

& Raphina: Will you write me a happy song sometime? I need a laugh.
    Conor: But what if I don’t feel happy?
    Raphina: Your problem is that you’re not happy being sad. But that’s what love is, Cosmo. Happy-sad.

& Brendan: So what’s it all about?
    Conor: I think she’s just an amazing human being. I’ve never seen anyone like her. The way she talks and looks. She wears these sunglasses, and when she takes them off, her eyes are like the clouds clearing past the moon. Sometimes I just want to cry looking at her.

& Conor: Go ahead, Barry. Go on. You only have the power to stop things. But not to create.

& Darren: Being in a band is like being in the army. Everyone has everyone’s back. D’you think you’re up for it?
