Coffee?

ELECTRIC SHAVER BUZZES

HE LAUGHS

Have you seen it? What?

SHE GASPS

Dear God.

MESSAGE ALERT

Oh, your interview's out.

Well, what's it like?

Is it not good? It's, um...

Let me see. Bernie, it's important to remember,

the first time you see yourself in print,

it can be a bit of a shock.

What?

When I wrote my book, I did some national press,

and the Roscommon Echo, well, now,

to say they twisted things was...

Finbar, you're scaring me!

Oh, my God.

The text isn't really that... Oh, my God!

Look, "Bernie Sheridan, a spirited recovering alcoholic."

Spirited.

Oh, Jesus wept! SHE GROANS

I think they've up-skirted her. No, it's just the light.

Is IT just the light?

FINBAR CLEARS THROAT Your mother's interview is, er...

Yeah. We've... We've seen it. How is she?

WHISPERS: Well, she's a bit sensitive.

I'm going to pop out, get her some breakfast.

So, I'd tread softly... "for you tread on my dreams."

That's not really appropriate here, but...

terrific writer.

Alex, I've to go!

My mum's interview came out, and she looks... fucking psychotic.

LOUD TALKING OUTSIDE

I am done, yeah? You can talk, can't ya?

Look, get out of here! What's going on?

That your girlfriend, is it?

Shiv...

..this is Gareth.

He's my da.

And if he doesn't fuck off right this second,

I'm calling the guards.

Knock and wait, Ant! Sorry.

Er, just letting you know I'll be showing Eddie the house...

I'm going out now, anyway, so... To milk some cows?

What? Did Little Bow Peep lose her sheep?

Are you helping her find them?

Fuck off! It's cottagecore!

It's... fashion.

Fashion for the farm?

Fuck off, Ant!

SHE EXHALES, DOOR BELL RINGS

Mr Sheridan.

Eddie Appleby, great to see you again.

Eddie, hey. Coached your son Carl.

Rugby. We were...

Right. So, this is the house.

Great place. How long have you had it?

Er, bought it in, er, the mid-'80s.

Just before Carl was born...

For what, ten bob and a bag of oranges?

HE LAUGHS I'm only joking.

Close, I'd say, though. Is this the living room?

What's going on? Mum, this is my boss, Eddie.

He's here for the valuation.

Mrs Sheridan. Pleasure.

What valuation?

I sent you a text yesterday, appraising you of the situation.

Appraising me?!

You might have been too busy with your press junket.

OK, Eddie. Let's, er, give you the tour.

Don't worry, we'll get you a great price.

What's the price on a lifetime of memories?

Between 850 and 900k, I'd say. Subject to survey.

He left when I was two.

Well, no. He left, then he came back,

and then he fucked off to England until he got in trouble over there.

Never had a proper job, and my ma always took him back.

No matter what he did, no matter who he was with...

Where does he live now?

Maybe with my aunt, maybe in a shelter.

I really don't care.

He looks... Like shit?

Yeah, he does. And he deserves it.

But, like, could he be, you know, sick?

You said he only started coming here a few months ago.

No, it's... He heard about the restaurants.

He thinks I have cash.

That's all he's interested in.

I had to drop out of school and start working in kitchens

cos that fucker never left us a penny.

He is an asshole, but he's still your dad.

BANGS TABLE No, he's...

He's not.

He's never done anything for me.

He's a liar and a manipulator, and the only way

to deal with people like that is to cut them out

like the fuckin' cancer they are!

I owe him... nothing.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry your morning's been taken up with his shit.

What's going on with your ma?

Oh, now, that is-is...

It doesn't matter. It's not important.

That's the problem with these vampires.

They always make it all about them.

I suppose it depends how much work you wanna do.

Work? Kitchen's a bit dated.

Carpets are... I chose those carpets.

No, no, no, no, no. I... Huge fan. Huge fan.

But, buyer's market.

Any excuse to drive down prices.

Well, then, obviously, it's not the time to sell.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Eddie, but people who forge signatures

and commit fraud don't really get a say...

And we can price it to sell.

You know, it's still a great house, great location,

the perfect opportunity for someone to put their own stamp on it.

This guy. Writing the marketing blurb already.

I don't wanna hang around. Good, decisive.

Suppose an auction is probably our best option.

Get a bit of a buzz going, some blood in the water.

Could start showing this week. This week?!

If Anthony here could give the place a bit of a spring clean.

Absolutely. I'll make some calls.

OK. Sounds good.

That house across the road.

That's not the place where that poor woman was...

She was a good friend of Mum's.

That's where I know you from!

Your photo... didn't do you justice.

Poor woman. An alcoholic, then murdered.

Pam wasn't an alcoholic, was she?

Says it in the paper.

Book club was the giveaway.

Shiv! Shiv!

How are ya? Hi.

Listen, er, I'm sorry for upsetting you earlier.

You know...

I don't mean to cause any harm, you know.

I just wanted to see my boy, you know.

You're a nice girl.

So...

You couldn't loan me a couple of quid, would ya?

I haven't eaten today, you know.

I've a pain in me chest. I... I'm sorry.

Nah, that's all right.

You're a nice girl.

Thanks. Nice to meet you.

Gareth.

Oh.

Look... I'll get that back to you.

It's OK.

Thank you, Shiv! Thank you.

Shh.

What are you doing?

I've been going through the bank statements.

There's some suspicious activity. Like what?

Erm... dodgy subscriptions.

Look, er... Paris Review.

Times Literary Supplement.

Men's Health Magazine! That was me.

Well, anyway, look at this.

New credit card, 500 a month.

She is funnelling money to Finbar. But we don't know that.

The man's written one book, what's he living off?

Dad... No, I can't trust her.

Right, now, I need you to go through her bag

and see if there's a MasterCard ending in 7...

Look, Dad, I don't mind helping with the house stuff, but I can't.

PHONE CHIMES

It's Max. Max? Why's he texting you?

Oh, good man yourself.

But what's... I've gotta make a call.

Whose barbecue is this again?

Cliona, I've known her since school.

DOORBELL

Said we'd come early, help set up.

Is it a fancy dress thing?

No. Then, er, why are you wearing that?

What's wrong with it?

It's just a bit...

mumsy or something.

Shane, I need to tell...

Caroline!

Rory! Er, what are you doing here?

We said we'd come early and help set up.

Caroline! You didn't say she would be here.

Er, Cliona's in the kitchen, if... Sorry.

HE SIGHS

What the...

Mum?

Mum, are you here?

Mum?

Snared. I know your little secret.

What are you talking about?

Er, OK. Where's Mum, is she OK?

You're back on the piss? What?

Yeah, I found your little stash in the toilet.

That's not mine.

Bullshit. Why's it hidden in the cistern?

Maybe you left it there at my party

when you were hoofing lines of cocaine.

It's really not yours?

If I was gonna hide booze, it'd be vodka or gin,

or something to actually get shitfaced with.

The only person who drinks white in this house is...

She has been spending a shitload of time in the bathroom.

Oh, my God.

PHONE BUZZES

Hello?

Speaking.

Oh, hi, Mary.

How's the, erm... Have they set a date for the trial?

Which interview?

All that stuff about how easy the moral inventory is.

Obviously, if you're boozing your way through it.

Mum! Oh. You're home.

I suppose you saw the interview. I did, yeah.

SHE EXHALES Is it terrible?

No, it's not. The DPP just called me.

They don't think I'm an appropriate witness for trial.

I've really let Pam down.

Ah, no. No. BERNIE SIGHS

I mean, I did say an interview probably wasn't a great...

I see. Of course.

I couldn't expect an ounce of sympathy from my own children.

Mum. "I did say."

SHE SCOFFS

And him, trying to sell the house out from under me.

Well, you know what? Two can play at that game.

What does that mean?

If you and your father want a fight for this house,

well, you've got one.

I'm just doing my job. Yeah.

DOOR SHUTS

Oh, my God.

I'm telling Finbar. No!

Why? He might actually fuck off, then.

You can't tell anyone, Ant.

This is serious. But you said...

She is an alcoholic, and she's drinking!

SHE SIGHS Just let me handle it, OK?

Get rid of that! Seriously, Ant, not a word.

Fuck's sake.

IDLE CHATTER

Rory. Rory!

Come on.

CHILD: Hey!

I'm just gonna... go to the bathroom.

RORY: Oh! What? I wasn't looking at her!

Oh, my God. Oh, er...

Marie-Luisa was making sandwiches and accidentally cut me.

Oh, well, let me see.

She seems...

intense.

She's actually a good, erm... laugh.

Your guy seems... Well, what's his name?

Shane. He's an investment banker. Cool.

I think he might be a sociopath.

That's cool.

Er, your hand seems fine. Oh, er, thanks.

OK, well, erm... You look really nice.

Er... I've never seen you wear anything like that before.

It's nice.

Thank you.

There's just something about you right now, and I...

# I was waitin' For the guilt to wear off

# Woke with a dry mouth And bitter thoughts

# You were in a bad way

# Bed sheets soaked in sweat

# Want you to know this

# The flowers never made it

# And I never want them Despite the good intent

# I never called you

# But I sent a couple texts... #

Thanks, man, you're a life-saver.

What are you doing? Oh, Bernie said I could park here.

What? Just for a few weeks.

A few weeks?! Jack! Welcome.

Bernie! HE CHUCKLES

Thanks. You're really doing me a solid.

He-he can't park here. We're selling the house.

I don't see what the problem is.

Well, people are coming for viewings!

OK, look, I don't want to get in the middle of anything...

He has a child, Tom.

I do, and we're kind of in a custody thing.

It's... harrowing.

What? Bernie, this is not on.

Do you want a cup of tea, Jack? I'd love one, actually, yeah.

Couldn't use your shower, could I?

What about a bath? Nice!

Bit of luxury. I'll get you a towel.

Bernie, this is not on! DOOR SHUTS

Rory!

Rory, are you in there? Er... coming!

Rory! Open the door!

There's just something wrong with the, er, the lock.

INTENSE KNOCKING Open the door!

You ready? Yeah.

Rory!

Hey.

What were you doing? I was helping him with his hand.

That was a very serious cut there.

You should be far more careful with the bread knife.

She's a doctor.

I just... I don't know whether to confront her outright

or pretend like I've only just found it,

cos I don't know if she's been drinking this whole time

or if it's just a blip.

What do you think? She has a sponsor.

That guy Billy? He's not a sponsor, he's an idiot.

He's the whole reason she did this interview.

God. So much being thrown at her right now, you know.

The divorce, the house.

Maybe it's just a wobble.

I mean, that happens, doesn't it? It happened to...

Are you even listening? Yes.

You seem quite distracted.

Well, you've kind of gate-crashed my evening.

Sorry.

Are you meeting friends or... No, I'm not meeting friends.

You're just sitting in a bar not drinking?

Yes.

I'm trying to get picked up.

Picked up?! Shh!

You're not the Virgin Mary, don't look so fuckin' shocked.

I was here a few of weeks ago.

Not... Just having a lemonade,

and this man starts talking to me.

You know, just chatting and flirting, and then...

Nothing happened, but it was nice.

It was fun. It gave me a little buzz.

So, I've been coming back every week since

to make it happen again.

With the same man? With anyone.

I'm stifled in my relationship. I want something new.

I want to be surprised and excited again.

I get it. You've been together a long time, and...

And relationships are hard. So hard.

Even this thing with Alex's dad? I'm seeing a whole new side to him.

What? Angry? Judgmental? Mildly oppressive?

A little bit, yeah.

Fuckin' men.

Why do we always have to give up a piece of ourselves?

Why are relationships never what they're cracked up to be?

I want freedom, I want adventure.

I want someone who gets that.

I don't want to live in someone else's little box. No!

No little boxes! I want to make my own rules.

I don't want any fucking rules. Ha! Me neither.

What are you doing? Huh?

Sorry, I thought you might be into it.

For fuck's sake, Karen, I came here for help.

Ah, sorry, I just...

Shiv! Wait!

God, you're supposed to be my fucking sponsor!

'Hey, this is Max. You know what to do.'

Hey, er, you were supposed to call me, but you haven't.

Erm... and now, I am home...

..with a bag of mushrooms

that I'm probably gonna have to take all on my own, unless you call me.

So, yeah.

DOORBELL

Hey. What do you want?

Is Bernie there? No, she's out with Finbar.

Well, she hasn't been answering any of my calls or texts, and...

Well, I... I saw the interview.

Is she all right?

No, Billy. She's not all right.

She's actually, er... hit the bottle.

What? Oh, my God!

Is this my fault? Probably, yeah.

Will you give her these? Maybe.

If you ask me nicely.

Hey.

You will not believe the day I've just had.

Did you give my da money?

What?

My da.

He came by here with 20 quid, saying he wanted to pay you back.

Yeah. I met him on the way home, he asked me.

Fuck's sake, Shiv!

Did you not hear one word I said?

He was hungry! I was just trying to...

Listen, just cos you've no boundaries

with your toxic family,

don't drag me into that shit as well.

OK? What?

Alex...

I-I can't talk to you now, all right?

Alex!

Alex, for...

Fuck's sake!

# I say yes When I should say nothing

# I say nothing When I should say no

# It was obvious it was time to quit

# But I just had the urge to go

# So I'm the idiot Tryna act oblivious

# Made my way across town Looking for you

# They told me "Sorcha, you don't know

# "When to call it a night"

# Maybe I'll prove it true. #

Why are you parked in my parents' drive?

So, funny story... Actually, I don't care.

Can you take me away from here? Where do you wanna go?

Anywhere.

Let's...

rob a fucking bank.

# A broken heart is gory, baby Lay with me in purgatory

# Don't you know That we could be so unhappy here

# What's another dead night Waiting for the red light

# Why is love making us so unhappy

# A broken heart is gory, baby Lay with me in purgatory

# Don't you know That we could be so unhappy here

# What's another long night Waiting for the dog bite

# Why is love Making us so unhappy? #
