When all this started,

our families had lived
in Knockglen

for as long
as anybody could remember.

And in Ireland,

people have
very long memories.

You know, till shortly
before I was born,

the whole country had been
ruled for a thousand years

by Heathen invaders,
as the nuns called them.

We'd survived the Vikings,
the Normans,

and even the English.

It was faith in the church,
we were told,

that gave Knockglen
its strength to survive.

And after all that surviving,

the whole village was there
when my two best friends

and I were having
our confirmation day.

There was Eve.

And me, Benny.

And Nan.

We were inseparable,
the three of us.

Nan Mahon was beautiful.

And because of it,
she never doubted

that anything she wanted
would be hers.

There was me, of course,
Benny, Bernadette Hogan,

the apple
of my parents' eyes.

An only child, but my mother
fed me as though I were two.

That's my
little princess.
My mother.

Don't they look
just gorgeous?

And there was
Eve Malone.

Daddy, can Eve
be in it?

Sure, she can.
Is... Is that
all right, Sister?

Eve was an orphan
raised by the nuns.

But you know,
that only made her special.

Big smiles
all around again.

Beautiful. Beautiful.

That was the day
Eve took us to the cottage

her father had left her.

He had been a gardener
for the Westwards,

the Protestant family
that owned

the big house on the hill.

Old Mr. Westward
never went out anymore.

But on our way to the cottage,
we saw his son, Simon,

riding his horse
and looking grand as usual.

Is it really
your very own?

The nuns
are keeping it for me.

When I'm 18,
I'm going to live in it.

Are you?

You can live in it,
too, if you like.

We're moving
to Dublin,
me dad says.

Well, you can live
with me, Benny.

Oh, I don't think
me ma and dad would let me.

When you're 18,
you can do
anything you like.

Good morning,
ladies.

Come on, faster!

Benny, Eve, wait!

Years later,
by the time Eve
and I graduated

from the local
convent school,

Nan was long gone
to Dublin.

So, there was only me
to walk my friend up

the long path
to the Westwards' house

to attend
to some important business

she had there.

Do you want me
to come in with ya?

Who is she?

Eve Malone.

The girl the nuns
brought up.

- The gardener's child.
- Ah.

Seems we're going to pay
for her education.

I've got seven subjects
in the leaf insert,

two with honors.

The fees are 65 pounds a year
for four years.

I got it!

Sixty five pounds
a year!

Ooh, well done! Oh!

Come on,
slow coach.

Oh, Benny, we're going
to be college students.

I know we are.
Isn't it great?

Hello,
Mrs. Healey.

Top of the day,
girls.

Hello, Mr. Flood.
Hello, Mr. Flood.

Oh, God,
there's my dad with
that creepy Sean Walsh.

- Hello, girls.
- Hello, dad.

I was just after telling
your father, Benny,

we won't be
letting go of her.

She won't be led astray
in the big city like some.

Won't you be back
on the ten past 6:00
every night?

We're going
to miss the bus.

- Bye.
- Yes, bye.

The ten past 6:00 bus
every night.

They'd only let me go
if I carried on
livin' at home.

How can I tell people
I have to go home
every night

as if I were some
kind of simpleton?

Well, at least you
don't have to live
in a convent.

Well, do you think
I like it,

going from a convent
in Knockglen
to one in Dublin?

Oh, we'll find
ways around it.

We'll knock
'em dead.
Oh, will we?

Bernadette.

Eve.

Benny.

Nan!

Nan Mahon!

I'd have recognized you
anywhere. You haven't
changed a bit.

Oh, God,
haven't we?

I'm going home
now, then.
Oh, come on.

You look gorgeous
altogether.

You're first-years
as well?
First day.

And me,
as a student.

Mind you, I've been here
for socials and hops
and all that.

The Dublin
sophisticate.

You'll have to show us
the ropes, then.

How are ya?

It's lovely to see
us again.

Three girls
from Knockglen.

Hey, Nan.

Hello, Jack.

Looking very lovely
as always.

Thank you.
So are you.

You're very kind.

You're very welcome.

Are you coming
to the match today?

We might.

Well, see you there
if you do.

Who's he, Nan?

Him?

Jack Foley,
the blue-eyed boy.

He played
for Ireland schools.

Father's a doctor.
Did you like
the look of him?

It says here,
"Inaugural Lecture,

"Main Theater,
Professor Flynn."

Where's that?

This foundation course
for first-year students

used to be known
as Baby Latin.

Baby Latin,
you see,

like baby food.

This year, to broaden
our frame of reference,

I propose to take a glance
at some other societies,

principally, that of
the Trobriand Islanders

of the South Pacific,

as described
in Bronislaw Malinowski's

great work
of anthropology,

The Sexual Life
Of Savages.

Now, by studying

the rites of passage...

Come on,
come on!
Come on!

Jack, come on!

Oh, no.

He'll be grand.

Okay,
come on, Dublin.

Well done.
You were great.

Not so clever
just then.

Are you all right?

I'm fine, thanks.
Solid wood.

Do you think
you might introduce us now?

All right,
then.

Jack Foley,
Bernadette Hogan.
Benny.

Benny.

And Eve Malone.

Delighted to meet ya.

Look, we're goin'
to Murphy's Pub
on the quays after.

Will you come?
About 7:00.

Love to.

I can't.

I have to get
the ten past 6:00 bus home.

Ah, well,
another time, then.

See youse.

Ten,

twenty,

thirty,

forty.

Forty-two pounds.

Forty-two pound
a month?

You shut your hole
or I'll shut it for you.

Nobody's gonna say
that Brian Mahon's
not generous.

- No?
- Thank you, daddy.

That's more
than generous.

I hope you think
you've made
a good investment.

I'll make you proud
of me, I will.

And proud of yourself
for puttin' me
through college.

You won't regret it,
I promise.

You're a good girl, Nan.

Thank you.

Thank you.
Thank you, Eve.
That's stupendous.

Did you have
a good day?
Had a great day, Sister.

I went to a lecture
and I went to a rugby match.

What did she say?
She went
to a lecture.

And she went
to a rugby match.

That's nice.

In contrast
to many other
human communities

which segregates
the sexes
during adolescence,

the Trobriand Islanders
allow their boys and girls

complete freedom
of access to each other

from puberty
through to adulthood.

And Malinowski found them

to be a very happy
and contented people.

Bernadette,
will you hurry up?

The double-entry system
is your only man.

Believe me, Mr. Hogan,
you'll never regret it.

Never.

Ah.

There you are
now.

You haven't been here
since last Christmas.

We were gonna have
a Thanksgiving party.

That's nice.

What do you do
up there?
Just what, study?

Wanna be a teacher.

Teacher?
That's very good.

You know, I...
Personally,
I admire brains.

My brother, Charlie,
is a very brainy guy.

He had a couple
of years of college.

It isn't just
brains, it's...

It's how you use them.

I... Yeah,
I get your thought.

You know, I've seen you
a lot of times before.

Remember, uh,
parochial school
out on Palooski Street?

Seven, eight years ago,
your hair...
Had your hair, uh--

Braids.

Looked like
a hunk of rope.

You had wires
on your teeth
and glasses.

You was really
a mess.

I can get home
all right now. Thanks.

Well,
don't get sore.

I was just kiddin' you
a little bit.

I just mean
to tell you that you...

grew up very nice.

Thanks.
Get off!

I remember you
the first moment I saw you.

Quite a nose, huh?

That was a very
interesting film.

Oh, you thought so?

Wanna go to Sullivan's
for a bag of chips?

No, thank you.

I told your parents
that's what we'd be doing.

Is something
the matter, Benny?

Yes!

I don't want people
thinkin' that you and I
are an article,

because we are not.

And I don't want you
thinkin' that we are,

because we're not!

I just don't feel
that way
about you, Sean.

That's all
there is to it.
I'm sorry.

I think
your father would be
very disappointed

to hear you
say that, Benny.

And I don't think
you're in quite
the situation

to be so proud
and choosy.

Goodnight, Sean.

How long is it
since your last confession?

Two weeks, Father.

Go on, my child.

I've had wrong thoughts
about my parents.

They want me to go
to the university,

but they want me to stay
the little child as well.

And there's this man
they want me to marry

for the sake
of the business.

Oh, but he's awful
altogether, Father.

I could never
love him, and...

I don't know why
they can't see that.

I do love them,
Father, but...

I'm findin' it awful hard
to honor them.

Is there
anything else?

I've had impure thoughts.

Did you entertain them?

I don't find any of it
tempting, really.

I don't look forward
to that at all.

I mean,
I do want children,

but it's such
an ugly business,
don't you think?

I don't know--

You do.
I--

Do you remember
that time we saw

Willie Burns
in the wood?

When he was playin'
with himself?

That horrible,
great red thing
he had on him.

Well...

Maybe if you really
loved the boy.

Oh, I do know
what you mean though.

Have a look in
on the cottage.

We can do it up
during the holidays.

Maybe have
a party.
Great.

- See you Monday.
- See ya.

There you are,
Benny.
Thanks, Deasy.

Thank you.

- Hello, Jack.
- Hey, Benny.

You live here?
Yes.

What are you
doing here?

Father, this is
Bernadette Hogan.

She's at the
university as well.

Pleasure to meet you,
Bernadette.

I wanted to visit
an old colleague of mine

who hasn't been
well here.

Jack was good enough
to drive me.

Well, Jack,
couple of hours, say?

Is that all right?

You think you could
bear with him for that long?

Oh, I should think so.
Just about.

Well, this was
a nice surprise.

Must be a
desperate thing
to be a doctor.

To have to talk
to people

and tell them
that they're dying

and that they
can't be cured.

Hmm.

I don't think
I could bear that.

No. Nor me.

I'd run
a mile first.

But you're going
to be a doctor.

I know.

Isn't it
drastic?

And it's not
just that. I...

I'm squeamish about
cutting people open

and looking
at their insides.
It...

Do you know I get
faint at the sight
of blood?

It's true.
I just pass out.

Have you told
your father about this?

He says it's just
a passing phase.

Ah, maybe he's right.

It is a great thing
to do. I just...

I don't know
if I've got it in me.

Well, what do you
like to do?

I like sports.

Ah, Benny.

I just love
to clown around.

I don't believe that.

It's easy
to talk to you.
You know that?

I feel as if I could
tell you anything.

You're very...

solid,
aren't you?

Yes. Everyone
notices that.

Solid.

Beef to the heels
like a Mullingar heifer.

No.
I didn't mean that.

I meant,
you're really there.

You really know
who you are,
don't ya?

Well, yes.
Of course, I do.

Sometimes, I feel as if
I'm hardly there at all.

Just tryin' to be things
for other people, you know?

Oh,
it was a great film
altogether.

When she drops her glove
and he picks it up,

and starts
trying it on,

ah, so delicate.

If he tried
my glove on,

it'd probably be
too big for him.

What are you doin'?

About the same.
See?

Not too bad, then.

Not too bad.

Look, some us
are getting up
a sort of gang

to go to
the college ball.

The big one
at the Hibernian?

Will you come?
Me?

Really?

Oh, I'd love to.

There's a lot to be said

for these big,
soft girls, you know?

That one had a nice,
soft look about her.

Nice eyes,

beautiful hair,

lovely smile.

Fine set of teeth
on her.

You don't miss much,
do you, dad?

I do not.

Jack Foley asked me
to go to the college ball.

That's great.

We're all goin'.
We're all in the gang.

Rosemary,
Sheila Keohane.

Safety in numbers.

He did ask you
personally.

He did make you
special, Benny.

Ah, no, it's all right.
It's fine.

We'll all go in a gang.
It will be great.

Oh, God,
what am I going to wear?

I've nothing
I don't look like a whale in.

Well, I have nothing,
full stop.

Maybe if I starve
myself entirely

between now
and Saturday...

You'll be gorgeous,
Benny.

If she mesmerizes
every mother's son

She can't help it

Hey, look at those!

Nan, you've cut
too much out of it.

No, just about
enough, I'd say.

Look, it's indecent.
Won't they fall out?

If you've got them,
flaunt them.

Keep your shoulders back,
you'll be fine.

Oh, Jesus,
Mary and Joseph.

I look like the prow
of a ship.

You look great,
Benny.

Oh, glory, don't.

No, no, no.
I do, don't I?

We all do.
Thanks, Nan.

You're a brilliant
person altogether.

- Here we go, girls.
- Thanks very much.

That's great.
How much did you
say that was again?

- Twelve bob.
- Have you got any change?

- Yeah, plenty.
- How much is it?

Good evening,
ladies.
Hello.

What are you
doin' here?

You're not goin'
to the dance,
are ya?

No, to my very
great regret.

Simon Westward,
Nan Mahon.

How do you do?

Well, enjoy the dance.

Thanks, we will.

The girl can't help it
if she was born to please

Can't help it
the girl can't help it

And if I go to her
on bended knees

Can't help it
the girl can't help it

Won't you kindly be aware
that I can't help it?

Won't you kindly be aware
that I can't help it?

Woohoo!

Woohoo!
Woohoo!

Well, isn't this
just as it should be?

Ah, it's perfect
altogether.

Right. Let's seize
the moment.

Nan,
will you dance?

By Eddie Cochran.

Well, come on, everybody
and let's get together tonight

I got some money
in my jeans

And I'm really gonna
spend it right

I've been doin' my homework
all week long

And now the house is empty
and the folks are gone

You'd like
to dance?

Okay.

Yeah, my baby's number one
but I'm gonna dance

With three or four

And the house will be shakin'
from bare feet slappin'

On the floor

Oh, when you hear the music
you just can't sit still

If your brother won't dance
then your sister will

Woohoo,
come on everybody

Will you risk it,
Benny?
I'd love to.

Have a party but we gotta
put a guard outside

And if my folks come home
I'm afraid

They're gonna have my hide

There'll be no more movies
for a week or two

No more runnin' around...

This is nice,
isn't it?

I mean,
all of us goin'
together and that.

You want to know
how it happened?

Jack couldn't decide
which one of you
he liked the best,

so he asked all of ya.

Well, it looks
as though he's decided
now, doesn't it?

I wouldn't be
too sure.

Did you know
who you wanted
to invite, Aidan?

Yes, your friend,
Eve, there.

So why are you
dancin' with me
and not her, then?

Because I've such
a devious personality.

Um, do you think
there's a chance
there, Benny?

I mean, do you think
she'd go out with me
if I asked her?

She might.
She's got very
eccentric tastes.

There's hope
for us all, Aidan.

Ah, there is so.

Watch out.
Tricky step.

Sweet, sweet
the memories you gave to me

You can't beat
the memories you gave to me

Take one fresh
and tender kiss

You can't beat
the memories you gave to me

Add one stolen night
of bliss

You can't beat
the memories you gave to me

One girl, one boy

Some grief, some joy

Memories are made of this

Sweet, sweet
the memories you gave to me

You can't beat
the memories you gave to me

Don't forget
a small moonbeam

You can't beat
the memories you gave to me

Fold it lightly
with a dream

You can't beat...

Don't you ever shut up?

And get out of here!

He likes you,
Benny, he does.

He keeps talking
about you
the whole time.

Ah, come on.
If he likes me
so much,

why does he spend
the whole time
with you and Rosemary?

And let's face it,
why would he look
at me?

He could have
anyone at all.

No, he couldn't.

He couldn't have me
for a start.

I'm not interested
in Jack.
Not like that.

Or any of these boys.

They're just
to practice on.

Give me your heart
to rely on

Show me the warmth
of your secret smile

To show me
you haven't forgot

For now and forever
for always and ever

Little things mean

A lot

Ah, go on, Benny,
ruin yourself.

Here's another one
of your favorites.

Are you
all right, Benny?

I'm just goin'
to the ladies'.

Hey. Where are you
off to?

I was just comin'
to look for ya.

Are you ready
for a dance now?

You took your time,
didn't ya?

Benny, I'm sorry.

Don't be upset.

I was savin' you
till last.

Always save the best
till last. It's true.

Don't be angry,
please.

Come and dance.
You mustn't
mess me about.

I know I may look like
a rhinoceros,

but I've got quite
a thin skin, really.

So, just be a bit
careful with me...

or I'll flatten ya.

I won't mess you
about, Benny.

Promise.

Come on.

Come and dance.

Good morning.

Is that the
Westward residence?

Yes, it is, ma'am.
Who do you wish
to speak to?

Sir Victor Chamberlain
would like to speak

to Mr. Simon Westward.

I'm sorry.
He isn't here.

Oh, dear.
It is rather urgent.

Do you know where
Sir Victor could find him?

I think he's lunching
at the Hibernian today, Miss.

Benson! Rufus!
Come on, boys!

You could try
telephoning him
there a bit later on.

Thank you so much.

Good day,
Mr. Westward.
Your usual table?

Yes.

No.

Hold on.

Hello, there.
Oh, hello.

You dining
alone?

I'm afraid I am.

My father was
to meet me,

but he's just phoned
to say he can't make it.

In that case,
why don't we
lunch together?

Thank you.
That would be lovely.

This is a marvelous
coincidence.

Isn't it?

I can tell
the truth to you.

What do you
mostly tell?

I think I mostly
tell people what I think
they want to hear.

Especially, girls.

But not me?
No.

Really?

Try me.

Well...

Do you believe
in God and Jesus
and everything still?

Yes. Do you?
Yes.

Have...

Have you ever gone
all the way with a girl?

No.

Not quite.

No!

Nowhere near it.
Ah.

Would you like to?

What, now?

No.

No, it wasn't
an invitation.

It was just a request
for information.

Ah.

Well,
the answer is yes.

I would.

If only it weren't
a mortal sin, though.

What about you?

I don't know.

Sometimes, it seems like
such a strange sort of thing

to want to do.
You know, ridiculous.

Like someone else
putting their finger

up your nose
or something.

Then again,
when you're dancing, say,

and it seems
like the most...

God, I'm blushing,
aren't I?

I can't believe
I'm havin' this conversation.

Oh!

Nor can I.

It's great,
isn't it?

Yes.

It is.

Oh, dear.

I think this is going
to be a problem.

Our bodies
belong to Almighty God,

just as our souls
belong to Almighty God.

A young woman's body
should be like her soul,

a garden for Jesus.

I speak now particularly
to the girls

and the young women
of this congregation.

Which is it to be?

Gardens for Jesus,

or vessels of sin?

The answer you hold
within yourselves.

I can't help thinkin'
it isn't fair,

throwing the whole
responsibility

onto us
like that.

Aidan says
it's his job to try
to seduce me,

but it's my job
to try to stop him.

What do you
think, Nan?

I think it's nonsense.
All of it.

The priests just
make it up
to suit themselves.

God, you don't
really think that,
do ya?

I do.

Those French letter
things boys wear

to stop girls
gettin' pregnant,

why are they called that
do you think?

Ah,
it's the French.

They're always up
to something.

Eve,
you've done wonders.

Aidan came
and helped.

Well, he did most
of it, really.

He was great
altogether.

So, you're going
to live here now?

Oh, in the holidays
just.

Tell you the truth,
I feel a bit strange
about it.

Why's that?

My mother died here
havin' me, you know?

Then after that,
my father.

I was thinkin'
we might have a party.

Warm the place
up a bit.

It has electricity.
We could play records.

We could invite
all the boys.

Were you thinkin' of anyone
in particular, Benny?

No, not at all.

Not me.

Mm.

Ah, now,

that was absolutely
delicious, Mrs. Hogan.

I can't remember
ever setting eyes

on a more succulent bird.

The richness of it
and the flavor...

altogether indisputable.

Why, thank you, Sean.
That's very kind of you.

No, no, no, no, no.
It's you who are kind.

Ah, well, now, Sean,

we couldn't have you
festerin' away there
on your own

every Sunday,
now, could we?

Sure,
you're practically

one of the family
now, sweetheart.

Gives me great pleasure
to hear you say that,
Mrs. Hogan.

I thought we might take
a breath of fresh air
later, Benny.

Aye.

That'd be very nice
for you both.

I've been having
a long talk with
your father, Benny.

Oh, yes.

About the possibility
of a partnership.

I have to think
of the future, you see?

I have my way
to make, Benny.

I have my life
to live.

Oh, yes, of course,
you have, Sean.

And I hope it works out
just great for ya.

Really, I do.

Has your father
spoken to you
about it at all?

No. Why would he?

It's between you
and him. It's nothing
to do with me.

Ah, but it is,
you see?

Ah, you know
I'm great for you, Benny.

If we were to marry...

I'm not talking
about now.

I'm talking
about the future.

Well, that would tie
things up just grand,

now, don't you
think so?

Uh...

You and I...

We could rub
along very nicely.

You know that,
don't you, Benny?

No, we wouldn't.

Look, I don't want to hurt
your feelings, Sean,

but really, it's out
of the question.

You think I'm not good
enough for ya?

I didn't say that.

Look...

if you must know,
I'm in love
with someone else.

And who is he,

this someone else?

It's like
the longhouse.
What is?

This is.

You know, in
The Sexual Life
Of Savages.

Except that in the
Trobriand Islands,

the parties go on
for six months
without stopping.

Six months of unfettered
sexual experimentation.

Imagine that.

Aidan, it's different
for them.

The Trobriand Islanders
are not Catholic.

They don't have to go
to confession.

Fair play
to them.

Anyway,
I'm not sure
you'd be up to

six months of unfettered
sexual experimentation.

I wouldn't mind
a crack at it.

Blow me a kiss
from across the room

Say I look nice
when I'm not

Touch my hair
as you pass my chair

Little things mean a lot

Give me your arm
as we cross the street

Societies regulate
the conduct

of their members
in a variety of ways.

The rule of law
is the most obvious.

There are also
the time-honored weapons

of shame and guilt.

The Trobriand Islanders
contrive to live
very happily

without recourse
to shame and guilt.

In Ireland,
as you know,

we have them both.

And fear, of course.

And fear.

Jack.

Benny.
Oh, Jack.

Oh, Nan.

Oh, Simon.

Nan.

Benny.

Simon.
Nan.

Mm.

Oh, Nan.

No.

Oh, Simon.
Oh, Nan.

Oh.
Oh, Nan.

Oh.

No!

Ah, no, Jack, please.
We mustn't!

Simon, no, please.

Not here, not now.

Benny--
Oh, I know.

It's desperate.

Well, where, then,
and when?

I want you to take me
to a nice hotel.

But when? I can't wait
much longer for you, Nan.

You won't have to.

It could be any night
that suits you

from the fifth
to the tenth.

All right, you win.

What do
I have to do?

You have to hold it
in your hand

for 60 seconds.

All right.
I'll hold it.

But I won't
jiggle it about,
understand?

Is that all
you're taking off?

What?

Ah, no.

No, no, I was...
I was just, you know...

What are you doing?

I thought we should...

It's my first time,
you see?

You don't mind,
do you?
Not at all.

I never imagined.

Oh, I wanted to
save it for someone
really special.

Those Westwards
who have the big estate
above Knockglen?

Ah, well, now.

You see?

What?
You and him?

Who do you think
you are, then?

Oh, would you
shut your hole,

you stupid article?

And you.

So, will you
bring him home
to see us, Nan?

Yeah, right.

I don't think
that would be a very
good idea. Do you?

"The honorable
Lavinia Ashmore,

"only daughter
of Lord and Lady
William Ashmore."

She's 28 years old.
She won't be
too particular.

Mm, judging
from her photograph,

her husband won't
have to be either.

"Miss Phyllida
Foote-Crampe
of Selly Oak."

Family owns a chain
of slaughterhouses.

Very well off.

"Miss Candida Cruise."

Hmm, looks like a sack
of potatoes on horseback,

but her father's
made a million in...

gravel,
I think it was.

"Miss Olivia
Bacon-Batche."

Oh...

- To England?
- It's only a week.

We play
four matches.

I wish you could
come and lend
moral support.

Immoral support
would be even
more welcome.

Mm, don't,
Jack.

I can buy us
some of those
French letters.

You know,
they sell them
over the counter there.

Just like that,
just...

walk in the shop
and ask for 'em,

right out loud.

Nobody turns
a hair.

Isn't that amazing?

Will I get a few
packets, then?

We won't be seen,
will we?

No,
it's all right.
No one comes up here.

Just the nuns
from the convent,

and they're all
locked up by 7:00
in the evening.

What did you say
to Eve?

I trust you
didn't mention me.

I didn't ask
Eve at all.

I don't think Eve
would understand.

You might be
interested in this.

I picked it up last year
when I was over in London.

"The Art Of Married Love
by Van der Kant."

Well,
he's a Dutchman,
but, uh,

he's a fully qualified
medical consultant.

Look, I was wondering

if we might try

something like

that.

Would you like to,
Simon?

Well, I think
I would, yes.

But only
if you would.

Who is that
little chap?

It's called
the Infant of Prague.

Prague.

God,
you're so strange,
you people.

Don't say that.

What?
Don't say
"you people."

I'm not like them,
I'm like you.

Sorry,
I simply meant--

I'm like you.
I'm not like them.

We're nothin'
to do with all that
nonsense, are we?

I'm like you,
aren't I?

I'm like you.

Yes, in a very
important way.

The most
important way.

Yes, perhaps.

Well, now,
ladies and gentlemen,

not so often
we see one of these.

Would anybody
like to hazard a guess

about the cause
of death here?

Hmm?

Tertiary syphilis.

"I can't understand it,
doctor.

"I had a few
open sores,

"but they seemed
to go away
at their own accord."

That was
the first stage,
of course.

Later stages attack
bodily tissue.

You see here?
It's almost
completely gone.

By this time,
you'll also have

extensive suffering
of the brain.

If you'll bear with me
for a few moments,

we'll just saw
the poor fellow's
head open

and I'll show you
what I mean.

It's all right.
I'll be fine.

It's just...

I hate that
anatomy stuff.

Why don't you tell
your father

you want to give up
the course?

I couldn't.

He never says
anything about it,
but...

I know it would
break his heart
if I gave it up.

Sure,
I can do it.

I have to do it.

I have to get
something right.

Mm.

This is lovely, Benny.

It is.

You shouldn't have,
though, with all that
study to do.

Ah, but I wanted
to give you a break.

And?

Well, I wanted
to talk to you about

maybe staying in Dublin
during term time.

Well,
weeknights only.

Hmm, I suppose
it can't be much fun
for you around here.

Oh, Daddy,
I didn't mean that.

I would like to see
more of my friends,

and I hate having
to get the bus
no matter what.

Have you any particular
friends in mind, Benny?

Yes.

Jack.

I love him.

You went
to university to study,
not to fall in love.

Now, if he's
a good boy,

if he's worth having,
he'll be patient.

He'll wait
for you.

Your mother's right,
Benny.

He'll wait if he's
the right sort.

Like Sean bloody Walsh!

Patiently wheedling himself
into a share of the business.

Patiently creeping
around me in the hope

that he'll wear me down
and I'll marry him,

and then he'll get
the house and everything.

I don't know why
you let me go
to university!

It's like takin' me
to the top of the mountain

and showin' me the world,
and then marchin' me
back down,

and saying, "That's what
you can't have, Benny,

"you silly, great,
fat article!

"This is what
you can have.

"Knockglen for the rest
of your life,

"and married
to Sean bloody Walsh!"

I'd rather be married
to a bloody lizard!

Don't you ever,

ever...

talk to your mother
or me like that again.

I've enough...

Isn't it enough
that we're worried sick

about... about
the business,

without having
to listen to this...

That's my dinner done!

I couldn't eat
another bite!

Quiet again,
Mr. Hogan.

Yes.

Sean.

I'm not, uh, feeling
the best today.

So, I think, uh,
if it's all right
with you,

I'll go home early.

You leave it to me,
Mr. Hogan.

I've everything
under control.

Yes.

That's it.

Well...

I'm so sorry
for your loss.

Thank you,
Walter.

Hello.
Oh, hello.

Who is that girl?
She looks
like a film star.

That's Nan Mahon.

Mahons,
the builders.
Oh, yes.

They used to be
in Knockglen
when Nan was small.

It's a great mark
of respect
to Mr. Hogan.

So many Dublin
folk here.

It's altogether
very gratifying.

Nan Mahon,
did you say?

Yes.

Why do you ask?
You don't know her,
do you?

No.

I couldn't say
I know her,
Miss Malone.

I just have
the feeling

I've seen her
somewhere before.

I think she's
a friend of our
fine Mr. Westward.

Are you enjoying
college life, dear?

Yeah, everyone
likes it.

God, Jack,
I feel so awful.

Almost the last thing
I did was yell

and carry on at him
like a big fishwife.

Ah, Benny, come on.

I never knew
such a good girl
to her parents.

It's so hard.

He loved me so much,
you know?

He was always
givin' me things.

But they were always
the wrong things.

And I kept thinkin',
"Daddy,

"couldn't you just
get one thing right
in your life,

"just for once?"

You see?

I was always a nasty,
ungrateful girl
in my heart.

And now he's dead,
Jack, he's dead.

I'm sorry.
I'll stop now.

It's always that way.

All parents
are the same.

Really, what they want
is for you to be
just like them.

You know, I'm gonna
have to stay home

and look after
my mother and the shop
and everything.

She's collapsed
entirely.

I won't be able
to see you, Jack.

It will be weeks
and weeks.

You won't be able to come
to Dublin at all?

Well, not for a while.

I'd be in the shop
every day.

Mother's not fit
to be left.

It has to be
done, Jack.

It's only
for a while.
I know.

Sean, I just don't
see why business
has been so bad.

Custom hasn't fallen
away that much,

so why are the
receipts so low?

Uh, now this would be
the double-entry system.

It isn't everyone
can grasp it
right away.

Benny.

Have you talked
to Mr. Duggan
at all yet,

about your father's
wishes for the future
of the business?

Tomorrow, Sean.

Ah, that's good.

Because it will be great
to have everything

cut and dried,
now, won't it?

Then we can see
our way ahead.

Sean, shouldn't the amount
of the weekly takings

correspond to the figures
in the bank lodgement
book here?

Well, approximately, yes,
give or take the drawings.

The drawings?

Whatever your father
withdrew from the till
in cash.

For petrol,
as it might be.

Or perhaps to buy you
a lovely costume

such as the one
you're wearing
at the moment.

Oh, dear,
oh, dear, Mr. Duggan,

it's the most
awful quandary.

I just don't know
what to do
for the best.

If you have any
doubt at all
about Mr. Walsh

or the partnership,
I urge you to think
very carefully.

Legally, you may do
exactly as you wish.

My advice is don't
rush into anything.

We won't,
Mr. Duggan.
Thanks.

Take care,
now.

Thank you,
Mr. Duggan.
Not at all.

I just don't think
you should let
Sean Walsh

get one sniff
of the partnership.

But if is what
your father wanted...

And you know,
he was always saying

he wished he could
have paid Sean more.

There was no need
for that, if he was
helpin' himself

out of the till,
was there?

Quiet, Benny.

I won't believe
that of Sean.

He's always
been so good.

And, uh, and you know
he hasn't spent
ten pence on himself

in the ten years
he's been in Knockglen.

That's true.

I wonder what he's done
with it all, Mother.

I just know
he's not right.

That is enough,
Benny.

Oh, poor Jack.
He is missing you.

But he hasn't
a chance to be bad.

Benny, we don't let him
out of our sight.

We made him
go to the pictures
with us,

Nan, me and Aidan.

Love is a many
splendored thing

- And he cried.
- No.

- He did.
- Oh, Nan!

Oh, God.
I do miss him.

Oh, hey, I went
to see Mother Francis
at the convent.

Do you know
what she said?

Someone's been
getting into the
cottage at night.

Who?

I don't
believe it, really.

Someone thought
they saw a light

and smoke coming
from the chimney,
that's all.

Haunted, maybe.

Ah, no. Ghosts
are a bit classy
for Knockglen.

Secret lovers.

Oh, all right.
I cannot tell a lie.

It was me
and Sean Walsh
from the shop.

Oh, God!

He's like a lizard.

Oh, how do you think
lizards make love?

I'll show you.

Ugh!

That'd be 1.11,
Mrs. Bragg, and if
he doesn't like it,

tell him to come back,
and we'll find one
to suit him.

That's very good
of you, Benny.
Thank you.

Bye, now.
Bye-bye.

Ah, you're getting
into the way of it
fine, Benny.

I'm glad you think so.

There's a good film
coming to the Palladium
this Friday.

Rebel Without A Cause.

Emily, how many times
do I have to tell you

not to wear
that green apron
day in, day out?

I mean,
it makes me feel

like I'm living
in an institution.

Oh, NASEY,
you dirty-looking idiot.

Now, look what
you're after doing.

Now, look,
if you don't wipe
that grin off your face,

I'm gonna
knock it off.

Christ,
this is awful.

Quite sure?

Yes. I'm two
months gone.

Got the result
this morning.

God moves in
a mysterious way,
I suppose.

Christ,
this is terrible.

It doesn't have
to be, does it?

No, you're right.

God, Nan,
you're really
something.

You're a wonderful girl.

I've never known
anybody like you.

Good.

I really never thought
it could happen, Simon.

Ah, no one
ever does.

Oh, my poor darling.

I'll take care
of you.

It's not the end
of the world.

Now, listen.

I had all this from
a very close friend.

It's someone
you've met, actually,

but it wouldn't do
to name names.

She said there's
nothing to it at all.

It's in England,
of course, but, uh,

well, it's all
for the best.

Now, you mustn't
worry about money.

You must let me cover
all your expenses.

I insist on that.

You want me
to get rid of it.

Yes, of course.
What else?

I thought
we would be married.

But you must understand,
it's out of the question.

I thought
you loved me.

You kept telling me
you loved me.

Well, I did.
I mean, I do.

I mean,
so far as we...

Oh, God, Nan,
you must have realized.

I have to marry for money.
We lose the house.

The whole family
goes down.

I can't afford
to marry you now,

however much
I'd want to.

No. I hadn't
realized that, Simon.

It was very silly
and naive of me.

I see that now.

I can't take that,
Simon.

I'm a Catholic.

I can't help it.
I couldn't kill my baby.

Jesus,
you people!

Just take it,
anyway.

Guilt money.

Will it bounce?

Bye, Simon.

Nan...

It... it was lovely.

I know.

You're a really
shitty article.

You know that,
don't you?

Nan, you going
to be in for your tea?

No, Mum.
I'm going out.

Like a drink,
Nan?

Maybe later, Bill.

I'm looking
for someone.

Hello, stranger.

Nan. What are you
doing here?

I was looking
for Eve and Aidan.

But it doesn't matter.
I found you instead.

You know, I don't think
I've ever seen you
on your own before?

Ah, well...

I thought tonight
was a Rugby Club social.

Well, that's just it.

I was trying to get
Benny to come,
but she couldn't.

Or wouldn't.

You'd think if she
cared enough, she'd
manage something.

I mean, her mother's
not gonna fall apart

if she's left alone
the odd night, is she?

Or am I being unfair?

I think what it is.

She feels she's all
her mother has now,

being an only child.

It's a shame,
though.

Why don't I come
with you?

Would that be nice?

Yeah.

All right.

It, uh,

can get a bit rough.

Well, you'd look
after me,
wouldn't you?

I feel safe with you.

Come on.
It'd be great.

We can cheer
each other up.

There was a monk
of great renown

Who shagged all the ladies
of London town

The sod, the sod
the dirty old sod

The bastard
deserves to die

Come on.

Yeah! Yo!

Yeah!
Get 'em off.
Whoa!

What are we
doing?

Make me warm.

Feel me.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh, God, Nan.

I never meant anything
like that to happen.

Don't blame
yourself.

It was my fault
as much as yours.

We just got
carried away.

It's nothing to do
with you and Benny.

No one knows
except us,

and we need never
tell anyone.

And it needn't
ever happen again.

But it was
lovely, Jack.

No. No,
it was nothing
in particular.

Um, I'm sorry
to have bothered you.

Could you just
tell him I called?

Yes, of course,
I will, Bernadette.

How are things
going, dear?

Are you still stuck
in the shop?

And how's your
mother now?

Tell her we're
thinking of her.

Thanks. Bye.

So, when we've
made a sale,

we put a little tick
here at the back.

Mm. Mm-hmm.

It's against
the stock register.

That's it, Mrs. Hogan.
You've got it in one.

What's
the matter?

Jack?

I can start coming
to lectures again.

And you know,
mother's so much better.

She's going to
take over in the shop.
Isn't it great?

And Eve's going
to have another party,

so I'll be coming
to that.

And, you know,
I've been having
a bit of a brood

about you and me, and...

I think I've changed
my mind about somethin'.

I... I can't say it
over the phone,

but I think
you'll like it.

Oh, Jack, I haven't
let you get
a word in edgewise.

Will I see you
tomorrow, then?

Where will we meet?

I'll meet the bus.

Benny...

There's something
I have to tell you, too.

What's the matter?

Let's get
out of here.

Uh...

It's Nan.

She's pregnant.
Oh, God.

Poor Nan.

Is she very upset?

She's out of her mind
with worry.

God, isn't that amazing?

She's the last one
I would have thought of.

Do you know
who the boy is?

The baby's mine.
We're getting married.

It's all my fault.

Your fault?
Yes!

Because he wanted
me to do it with him.

And I wanted to
as well, so much!

And we so nearly did,
lots of times.

You know,
if we had done,

it would be me
having his baby,
and not Nan.

Oh, God, I don't care
what the priests say!

I think we should do
what we feel.

Oh, like Jack,
you mean?

He certainly pleased
himself, didn't he?

No, he loves me.
He told me.

He doesn't love her.

He's going to marry her
because of the baby.

Oh, poor Jack.

Oh, Benny,
for God's sake!

He was your boyfriend.

Well, she was your friend.

Ah, why couldn't they
just leave each other alone?

I don't know.

They don't know.

Oh, it's not like them.

It's not like
either of them.

Maybe someone put somethin'
in the drinks.

Ah, Benny,
will you grow up?

Look, I'm never
going to speak
to Jack Foley again.

And if she comes
anywhere near me,
I'll kill her.

I mean it!

Eve...

What am I going to do?

I tell you one thing
you're going to do.

Show a brave face.

Never let them see
how much they've hurt you.

It's a bit late
for that now.

All right.
I'll try.

Here's to the
happy couple.

Huh? "Wicklow man
entices neighbor's ferret."

Aidan?
What?

Someone has been
using the cottage.

They used this
to light the fire.

It's dated March
the fourth.

I haven't lit
a fire in here
since February.

Well,
they were very neat,
whoever they were.

Well, they didn't
break in.

They must have found
a key or something.

They just used it,
I suppose.

Love is nature's way
of giving

A reason

To be living

A golden crown

This is a mistake.

It will be fun.
Believe me.

You're the star,
Jack.

Anything you do
is fine by them.

Once on a high

And windy hill

In the morning mist

How are you,
Jack?
Hi.

Two lovers kissed

And the world stood still

Then your fingers touched...

Hello, Benny.
Hello.

How's your mother?

How's the shop?

Fine, thank you.

Yes, true love's

A many splendored thing

So, uh, how are ya?

- I mean, are you all right?
- I'm fine.

I... I didn't think
you were coming.

It... It's a bit
sudden.

It seems a bit
too soon.

Don't worry.
I'm fine.

And the world stood still

Then your fingers...

Where's Eve?
She's in the kitchen.

And taught it how to sing

Yes, true love's...

Didn't think you had
the nerve, Nan.

Brought you
a present, Eve.

That's gonna make
everything all right,
is it?

I just thought
you'd like it

as a jug
or to put flowers in.

I always thought
there should be one here,

but I never...

When?

When did you
think that?

What?

That old newspaper
in the grate.

It was you.

You came
to my cottage.

Wait, listen--
No, you wait!

I knew it wasn't haunted.

I knew someone
had been here.

It was you.

And long before Jack.

Oh, God.
I see it all now.

Eve, please.

Are you going to tell
Jack Foley or will I?

Tell him what?

It was you,
wasn't it?

It was you here.

With Simon Westward.

Wasn't it?

That's what Sean Walsh
was talking about
at the funeral.

He saw you
and Westward here!

It's his baby
you're carrying,
isn't it?

Oh, God,
anyone could have
told you

that cold fish
wouldn't marry you.

So you had to go
and steal Jack

from your best friend!
You did, didn't you?

Christ, you don't
know what you've
done, do you?

You've broken
Benny's heart!

Oh, God, I wish
I could hurt you!

Take it easy.

No, I will not
take it easy!
What you've done--

God, she's mad!

I think
somebody's hurt.

It's
all right, Nan.

Is she bad?

It's all right.

It's all right.
He's looking after her.

Oh, God.

Here, Jack.

Oh, my God.
Look at her arm.

It's all right.

It's all right.
Oh, Jesus.

Let's get her
to a hospital.

Do you see anything
you like, madam?

No, no. Go ahead.
Have a good look.

You must be
dying for it,

now your fellow's
decided

he'd rather diddle
your best friend.

The time
and the place.

I think you've kept me
waiting long enough.

Sean,
don't be stupid.

I'm not
the stupid one.

Don't you know
this was meant to happen?

My mistake
was being too patient.

Sure, I'm doing
you a favor.

There's not many men
would take you on at all.

But I've always had
an eye for you, Benny.

Take your clothes
off, Benny.

It's all right.

I've locked
the front door.
No one's going to...

interrupt us.

Come on, Benny.

Don't be shy.

I will if you will.

Are you mad?

Take your clothes
off now!

Get off!

Get off me!

Oh, Jesus.

What are these,
Sean?

This would be your
double-entry bookkeeping,
would it?

I was owed
that money, Benny.
Every penny.

What your father paid me
wouldn't keep a rat.

He trusted you
and you robbed
him blind!

I never spent
a penny of it,
Benny.

I was saving it
for us, you know?

How dare you?

Get out of here
before I call the guard!

I would have
married you, Benny.

And there's not many
would say that,

fat cow
that you are.

Even though I'm worth
ten of you

and all your family
put together...

I wouldn't
touch you now.

Give me a hundred
and we'll call it quits.

Take it!

Will all the remaining
passengers

for England, please
go to Gate Two?

You shouldn't have come.

I mean,
I'm glad you did,

but it's nothing
to do with you
anymore.

I hate to see you
leaving like this.

Look at the state
you're in.

We women are tougher
than we look.

I'm sorry, Jack.

I was a bit...

desperate, you see?

Will all passengers
for England,

please board
the ship now?

Give my love
to Benny.

Will you go in the back,
please, Mother?

Yes, sir.
Can I help you?

Look, Benny.

I know I have no right
to expect anything of you.

No. You haven't.

I just want you
to know...

It was that thing
with Nan.

I don't want to know
about it.

No, I mean,
stopping the bleeding.

Benny, when I realized
I was saving her life,

that she could
have died,

all I could think
was how grateful I was

that I could do it.

I wasn't faint or sick.
I... I was fine.

I knew right then
that that was what
I wanted to do

for the rest
of my life.

Well, I'm very glad
for ya.

The other thing is...

I love you.

I never loved her.
You know that.

And if you'll have me,

I want to marry you.

Benny, you're the one.

I couldn't love
anyone else.

Marry me?

Yes.

And why would
I want to do that?

I suppose I have
ruined things.

Benny, I'm sorry.

I want
to make it up to you.

I will
if you'll let me.

Do you think you could
love me again?

No. I don't think
I could.

Yeah, that's a lie.

I could love you again,

but I'm not sure
that I want to.

Oh.

You broke my heart,

and I'm not
the same person
that I was now.

So, if you're serious,

you'd have to get
to know me as I am now

and I'll have to
get to know you
as you are now.

And then,
we'll just see.

Jack was telling
the truth.

Over the next year,
he pursued his medical studies

like a demon.

He also pursued me.

I moved to Dublin
in the autumn
to share a flat with Eve.

And at the university,
my paper

comparing the Irish Catholic
mating rites

with the Trobriand Islanders
caused quite a stir.

And it pointed me
towards my future
career as a writer.

And slowly,

as Jack and I spent
more and more time together,

I suppose I fell in love
with him again.

One afternoon,
we found ourselves

back at Eve's cottage.

What are we
doin' here?

Come on.

Bless me, Father,
for I have sinned.

You fill my sweetest dreams

You fill my sleep

You fill my heart with love

You make my life complete

When all is said and done

Darling, I know
you're the one

Darling, my lovely belle

Thought about you
as the moon

Listening to the sad songs
down below

Thought about you
as the tune

Wish that I could
let you know

I think about you
as the sun

So you're everywhere I go

But darling, I know
you're the one

The one I long to see

To drown myself in you

Surround myself
safe in your arms

Forever

Darling, I know
you're the one

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Funny, how this circle turns

Funny, how the flame
still burns

Now that
all is said and done

Darling, I know you're...

The one

I'll always know

You're the one

Darling, I know
you're the one

You're the one

I'll always know

Darling, I know

You're the one

Darling, I know

You're the one
