Irish School Demolition

[This is a girl in Ireland who’s making prank calls at the age of 8. She doesn’t like her school and she wants to get it demolished, so she goes to a demolition expert and tries to convince him...] Hello, Inter Core. Hi, is that the demolition place? It is, yes. Could you help me to destroy my school please. Just bare with me a second... Hello. Hi. What school do you go to? I go to a school in Dublin. And you want it demolished? Yeah. Do you use a big wrecking ball, or how do you knock it down? A big ball. Right. Hold on one wee second please... Hello. How are you - my name’s Becky. Yes. I have a proposal for ya. Go ahead. Are you the demolition man? Yes. You’re the top boss, yeah? Go ahead, what’s the tact? Hello? I want you to help me destroy my school. You want it blown up? Can you blow it up, or knock it down? Whatever you want done. I’ll blow it up, that would be better. Can you make sure that all my teachers are in there when you knock it down? Don’t know if you’ll get away with that now. Nobody likes them – they give me extra homework on a Friday and everything. Where are you calling from? From Dublin. What school in Dublin? The one that’s about to fall down. There’s a lot of schools in Dublin about to fall down. And how much would it cost to knock it to the ground? It depends how big it is. Give me a ballpark figure. Croke Park is ainm é   [Croke Park is its name (ball park)] Agus go leor scoile is tigh eile. [And many other schools and houses] Is this a demolition company or a joe-k factory? It’s a joe-k factory at the minute... It’s a joe-k factory. Listen, are you gonna come and knock my school down or what? Can you FAX me through a photograph or a site plan, or something. Right, I’ll FAX you through a plan of the school and my teacher’s names. Yeah – no problem, yeah. And you just make sure that they’re all in the building when you knock it down. You put all their names on it – I’ll give you a page for each individual teacher. Brilliant. Yeah. When the school falls down, will it make a crash or a whallop? It will make a big bang. Sounds good. Oh listen, I’ll talk to you later, top man. Good luck, a Chailín ar buile!   [crazy girl] Fill your boots man! Good luck. See you after. QuotaBills I'm Irish.
