History Recap / DerryGirlsS2E6

'''Clare:''' I did fight that wean, Erin, and I'll fight that wean again if I have to.

* WouldHurtAChild:

* CrazyJealousGuy: Kathy characterizes her ex as such. But the way she tells the story, it sounds like he was perfectly justified in being so.

-->'''Erin:''' Help! This woman is trying to abduct us!
-->'''Clare:''' Help! Fire! There's a fire!
-->'''Michelle:''' Fire? What the fuck are you on about?
-->'''Clare:''' It gets more attention. I read it somewhere.
-->'''Erin:''' Kidnapper!
-->'''Clare:''' Help! Fire!
-->'''Orla:''' Help! There's a kidnapper on fire!

-->'''Sarah:''' We heard about your wee divorce. Nightmare.
-->'''Kathy:''' Yeah, it was a difficult decision, but Paul, my ex, well, he just became so controlling.
-->'''Mary:''' Jesus. Really?
-->'''Kathy:''' He was unbearable towards the end, it was always, "Oh, Kathy, why did you stay out all night?" Or, "Who was that man you were having dinner with, Kathy?" He was very insecure.
-->'''Mary:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Wonder why.]]
* FreezeFrameBonus: The 'USA' on Orla's forehead is inverted--it must have looked okay when she applied it in the mirror.

-->'''Clare:''' See that bitch over there?
-->'''Erin:''' That wee girl?
-->'''Clare:''' She tried to muscle in, things got ugly. She'll think twice next time.
-->'''Erin:''' You didn't fight that wean, did you, Clare?
-->'''Clare:''' I did fight that wean, Erin, and I'll fight that wean again if I have to.

* SkippingSchool: They skip school to go see President Clinton's visit. SubvertedTrope when we find out that--despite saying otherwise--Sister Michael doesn't actually expect any students to attend school that day anyways.

-->'''Clare:''' Are you suggesting we play truant?
-->'''Michelle:''' Okay, normal people don't call it that, but yes, yes I am.

* BaitAndSwitch: Sister Michael begins talking about Clinton's visit in what sounds like admiring terms, accompanied by soft music as the soundtrack. Then there's a {{beat}}, a SuddenSoundtrackStop, and she announces that it's WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency:

-->'''Michelle:''' Okay, normal people don't call it that, but yes, yes I am.
-->'''Clare:''' You know what, girls? Sometimes in order to do the right thing, you have to do the wrong thing. And on this occasion, right is wrong and wrong is right.
-->'''Michelle:''' What the fuck are you on about? Are you gonna sack off school or not?
-->'''Clare:''' Let's do it!

-->'''Sister Michael:''' Just one announcement today, girls. I'm sure many of you have guessed what it's about. Although tomorrow's not officially a public holiday, schools across the city have decided to view it as such. Because tomorrow the President of the United States of America is coming here, to Derry. You're a little young to perhaps understand the enormity of this. A few short months ago, this would have been unimaginable. But here we are, and I for one can barely believe it. ''[{{beat}}]'' I mean, people in this place stop killing each other for five minutes and the whole world loses the absolute run of itself. This visit concerns me for a number of reasons, girls, but mostly because I am scared it will give the Pope ideas, and that's the last thing I need. No. Our Lady Immaculate will play no part in this farce. And I expect to see you all here tomorrow morning, business as usual. Is that clear?
