� every weekend.

Didn't matter what was on.

The glory days when the cinema was big.

The big town.

That's from something. What's that from?

No one cares anymore. What's the problem?

Casablanca. The cinema is full of curtain.

They don't even play music.

Maybe that's a good thing.

It's all about presentation.

Ah, you'll miss it. Don't say you won't. Yeah, I'll miss it.

I'll miss it like a hole in the head.

I mean it.

Business has changed.

Everything's changed.

Town's changed.

There's no sense of community anymore.

There used to be a real sense of community here. You felt respected.

Appreciated.

Look at this.

It's almost past the feet.

Oh, God.

Better make sure Conway doesn't see that.

Any other transgressions I should be aware of?

Gentlemen.

They didn't get in this way. I'll keep looking.

Was there a break -in? Kids losing theory.

Theory's enough to call the guard.

Jesus, there needs to be an element of trust here.

Never mind that.

What is with the call?

It was Dad's. Why not?

Why are you wearing it?

Well, it looks good, right?

You're back in style.

What? I didn't say anything.

No, you didn't need to.

Shit, come this way. No, no, this way.

You haven't told him about our venture, have you? Of course not.

Because it's gross, Riley, if he knew about that. A man's a chap. And a former

government minister. Exactly.

Remember, that was his friend, and even he didn't trust him.

Charlie.

That's gone.

Who's selling the cinema?

Where'd you appear from?

Is it true?

Not now.

We're just about to open.

Tell me.

Lobby.

Can't work. I've got a foot and headache. Don't start.

This song isn't helping.

I like this song. I know, but you have to play it on a loop.

Hey, Dad.

Not now. We're just...

About to open. Yes or no? I'll keep asking until you tell me.

Hey. Yes.

I'm selling. Happy?

Shit. Keep it yourself.

Staff doesn't know yet.

Mom, no.

I'll call her tomorrow.

Tomorrow? I'll call her right now. Not now. We're just about to open.

You're closer.

Showtime!

Finish them off excited.

Sorry, Mr. Fancy.

Do you remember Birdie Palmer?

Thank you.

You threw him out last week because he was flicking matches at the screen.

Thank you.

How are you, Vincent?

His cousin just got out of prison. Thank you. And my Aunt Una, who works with

his sister, says Tank is coming to start you out tonight.

Who's Tank?

Birdie's cousin is coming to start you out. Thank you. And what is Tank in

prison for?

Assault. Thank you.

I come with you.

I just, I got him. You should have heard me. I got him. He's ready to make an

offer. Serious offer. He said that in so many words. More or less.

More or less. Be here to see the death in action, okay?

You're not supposed to even know, so say nothing.

Do you hear me?

You don't know.

And it's right to be nice.

I'm always nice.

Harry, this is my brother Earl.

I can't say it needs no introduction to me. Put it there. Excuse me. It's

looking great. It's a credit to you.

I'm sorry to come in. I'd love to. Come on.

I'll show you to the balcony.

This way?

Take it over here when I come down. I'm going nowhere.

You can't bring chips inside.

It's only jelly.

Would you believe the first film I ever saw was in this building?

Before it was a cinema. Really? Yeah.

An old mother hovered short.

As long as anybody always remembers.

How was it, the little rascals?

Your father

was an entrepreneur.

Before any of us knew the word, he dragged us into the 20th century when he

opened this place.

This fella has a similar swagger. Do you remember much about your father? I

think it's just your man here raised me. I wouldn't brag about that.

Who's bragging? He bought the place from a fella named Tass Tracy.

Poor old Tass.

Awful what happened to him.

Lost his life in a terrible fire.

He's right. One of his films went up in flames.

Nitrate film. Deadly stuff.

Three stooges short. I can assure you no one was laughing that night at the

irony.

There's never been a better time to shop.

Our massive sale is now on.

What's wrong with the victor?

Justice. Let me see.

Justice. How many times do I have to tell you? Don't fiddle with the lens.

There.

That's sick, Jack.

Stay here. I can't let you operate like that.

Don't worry.

Come on. What do you think we're doing here?

Branch surgery?

Right.

Good night, Jack.

You can fuck off with your good night, Jack. This place is a fucking joke.

The machines are held together with elastic bands, and all I hear from you

I'll fix it.

I'll fix it. Good night, Jack. Well, fix this, you bollocks.

Music. You really need to get

some new music.

What happened to Jack?

I fired him. He quit. I don't know. He hasn't even made up the film. What do

mean? I'm trying to get your hand. Don't even know this.

Don't tell me.

Five reels should be in two big booths, so I only have to do one changeover, but

now I have to run up and do a changeover every 15 minutes on top of everything

else.

Is this something Conway will notice? No, I won't notice a thing. Go back and

look after him.

He's the big boy who stuck to me.

And you wonder why he can't get any staff.

Sure he's not bringing you along like the last time.

I'll pretend I didn't hear the last.

He's not bringing me along.

Where do you want me to stand?

The balcony. Stand in the balcony.

Where?

Did you not send anything suspicious last night?

Anyone shady hanging around the cinema?

The usual.

They're cool.

Hello.

Everyone.

Everyone.

planet more blessed than this one. And yet, in its uncontrollable insanity, the

human race seeks to destroy this shining jewel, this blessed sphere which men

call Earth.

And trapped upon this world of madness stand I, the Silver

Surfer.

Yeah, you tell him, Surfman.

You tell him.

Yeah, what's that one?

Not really.

Yeah, it's me.

Oh, good.

Yeah, great, great.

You still go to the pictures, then?

I go all the time. In Dublin.

Decent and off -crowd.

Not tonight's exception.

Out of business.

It's good. Most part. Having only one screen limits the new films we can play.

But they'll come.

A lot of them even buy tickets and ask what's on as they're going in.

Most of them, they don't care what's on. Come on, give her one.

Quiet. Quiet.

That must be the worst part, dealing with all the hoos.

That's for me.

Worst part is never getting to sit and watch an entire film.

Oh, that would annoy me.

Now, what's...

What's the best part of the business?

Best part?

Down in the air when the place is folding, you can hear a pin drop.

That's the best part?

The shared experience.

I best come to the pictures here.

I always wondered what it would be like to own a cinema.

Can I get you something from the shop?

Oh, not at all. Go on, you're busy. We can't leave.

Good.

You look happy.

What's wrong? Why are you smiling?

Shit, has the captain came back going to buy the cinema?

I advise.

It's the feeling here as I've written.

Is he?

Maybe, which is why we need to make a good impression tonight.

Seriously?

How many times are you going to make me watch this film?

You're going to watch the crowd, not the film.

Don't worry. If anyone eats jelly, I'll be right there in their face with my

magic torch.

You're better off saying nothing.

I need

that

check. And you and me both. Evening, Sergeant.

Evening. If you're thinking of getting that wasteless to do a job, two words of

advice for you. Do it.

I wish you told me that a month ago.

Sergeant.

Would you look at what's happened? If I had a good look around the place, then

there's no sign of any forced entry.

How much did you say it was taking?

87 pounds, the one night I left early.

You want my opinion?

It was one of the staff.

What? No.

Who else knew that there'd be money on the premises and they'd have the key to

get in? No, not the staff.

A cash business like this, it's always the staff. I don't believe that.

I bend over backwards to keep them happy. It doesn't matter what you do.

You've got the years in uniforms as I might.

If work gets out, it'll make it harder to sell the place.

I'd appreciate it if you could keep it to yourself.

It'll be uproarious, the cinema goes.

But that's all that's still missed.

Sergeant, they're killing each other across the street.

Oh, Jesus, the guns are worth the device.

Oh, Jesus.

Was it better through a shake?

It's like the wine hoist over at that chip town.

But he does a great cutting ship.

With salt and vinegar.

There's one check.

One bit less.

Alma.

I need a hand in the storeroom.

She said they're very handy with their pistols.

Alma. Who locked up last night?

Mrs. Healy, I think.

Herself and Jack.

Did you talk to Jack?

I will.

He quit.

Wait a minute.

It was Mrs. Healy that locked up.

Because I was driving past at 11 and I saw her coming out on her own.

The picture was over at 10.

I'm sure it was 11.

It was 11. I know it was 11 because the news came on. They were talking about

the power cuts.

Eat. You don't mean to say that Mrs Healy robbed the place? No, no.

Of course not.

No, no.

I don't say anything, OK?

No one needs to know we got robbed.

My lips are sealed.

Is it true, then? You're selling the cinema?

Well, nobody does that.

Talk. People are miserable enough as it is. Maybe suicide left the cinema

closed.

Great.

So that's on me.

And when did this happen? At what point, precisely, did this town's happiness

become my responsibility?

What more can I do? I haven't read the ticket prices in three years.

I never take a holiday.

A good cop, bad cop, bouncer, babysitter.

Every day I'm on the phone pleading with distributors, begging for the latest

film. Begging!

And then I meet people on the street who can't wait to tell me they've seen it

already on video.

Before it's even released. The same people you say have been suicidal if the

cinema closed. Not to noise, suicidal. I'm fucking kidding you, you fucker! I'm

fucking kidding, I'm fucking kidding!

All right!

Ouch! Ouch!

Ouch! Ouch!

Fuck you!

I'm gonna get you, you bastard!

You know them?

Guts from the new houses.

Put them on the list. I need that check.

Jesus, are they bleeding?

Sure.

Don't worry, it's not yours.

Do you all put their cash?

Lose the coat.

It's having an effect on you. What's that supposed to mean?

You never touch a customer.

Fine. Ever. Got it.

You sure?

Don't fight the customers. I got it.

Make yourself useful. Stick on the kettle.

Yes, boss.

Honestly, you deserve a medal for putting up with this play.

Well, a cup of tea will do.

Here.

It will put a smile on your face.

Take it out.

Look, this will be a gold mine.

Six pumps, a shop and a car wash.

The sky is the limit when they open the bypass.

If... When? Jesus, we're not even looking.

This year, Earl.

This is the answer to all your prayer.

The days of the fellow with the single pump are gone.

Cars drive in, they fill up, they pay a premium.

And they go.

Well, Petrus, this works.

No, you don't, which is why you need me.

I feel honoured to have you.

Truly. You sure?

Because you don't sound it.

I'm sorry, it's just... Shit, you're getting

cold feet.

Tell me you're in.

Tell me you're still in.

Read it.

Just tell me what it says.

It's from the fire marshal.

The fire marshal.

Cinema needs a complete overhaul.

New doors and fire escapes.

Remove two rows downstairs, one in the balcony.

Redesign the box. All has to be done before the next inspection.

I knew there was something else wrong with you.

Bastards. The suns just don't add up.

I never get that money back.

So?

This is fate.

Forcing you to sell the place.

You should be happy.

Decision's been taken off your hands.

Am I getting a cup of tea or what?

Yes, boss. Coming right up.

I'm curious.

What are you getting from this?

You know what I'm getting.

I don't think you're 15 % of the petrol station. 20. You said 20.

Answer the question.

Whatever the question.

Jesus, Earl.

God forbid someone goes into business just to make money.

Your collar's twisted here.

Conway's going to make a cash offer.

You don't need to worry about anything.

This time next week, your troubles are over.

Do you think you can last one more week?

One more week.

Come on, let me hear you say it. You're being annoying. Say it.

I'm not saying it. One more week. I'm not saying it, Gerald. Fine.

There's your tea. You're welcome.

Tell me that. The film.

Come here, you.

I need to get paid and get out of this stuff, all right?

A rat.

A huge rat. Jesus, not another one. Where is it?

It's in there somewhere. Stand back. Take care of this.

All you do is say this.

What's all the noise about?

I've never gone.

Did you get it?

Nope.

Mr.

Clancy, can I have a word? No, no.

What do you want? Watch how I do this changeover.

Why? You're selling your place.

It's not sold yet, so pay attention. You're doing the next one.

I'm pretty sure I'm not.

Tonight's important, Kate. I need your help.

Fine. What do you want me to do? Just push that red button.

This red button? The only red button.

What's your attitude?

I watch my attitude. You watch the screen.

For what?

Two circles.

First one's your cue to start the projector.

Second one.

Hit that changeover button. Got it.

Eyes on the screen.

I can't believe you're actually selling. Eyes on the screen.

It'll be weird having you around all the time. I won't be.

Why not?

You just missed the circle. That was your cue to start the projector.

Ben was delicate.

Much tension with his snap.

What we are?

What do you mean you won't be around?

Where have you been? Concentrate.

Tell me.

Concentrate.

I'm opening a petrol station.

A petrol station. Yes, Mr. Zach, hit that button.

Which one?

The one I showed you. Hit it.

Hit it. Hit the button. Don't shout at me.

That's my heart.

Don't break.

Maybe you're not ready.

I'm coming home with you.

You're selling the cinema to open a petrol station.

Where? Outside town.

A 24 -hour petrol station.

It never closes.

Great. Give me a break. Do you think this is easy? I'm trying to do what's

for everyone.

What's best for everyone? How would you know what's best for everyone? You run a

small business in a small town.

None of this matters, and you're oblivious to what does.

That's why Mom left you, and if it hurts to hear that, I'm sorry, but hurt

people hurt, Father.

Hurt people hurt.

It's a great line. Is that from a film?

I give up.

Well, fine, give up.

Ever wonder what would happen if I give up? I wish you would.

Well, I don't have that luxury.

We don't know yet. You don't know?

You alright?

No, not alright.

Bobby's a fucking gal.

Looks simple in those sunglasses, by the way.

Hey, don't think your daddy threw that on my shirt.

Shush yourself.

I'm afraid your old man's going to see this.

Fuck him.

Put that on a T -shirt.

You're a rapper like you.

Can you find us to it?

What? Tell your old man we're in love time.

That's what you want, isn't it?

Let's do it right now.

Sit down.

Sit down, Gorman, you fag.

Scared. I'm not scared. Yeah.

And the Nile is a town in Egypt.

The green's up there.

Denies the river.

Dope.

Wait, what did I say?

Quiet!

Fuck off!

I

think

someone's broken a joint.

Hold your nose and don't inhale. Harry Conway complained.

Where are they?

I don't know.

Let's go now.

Problem, Chief?

One reason I shouldn't call the guards.

Because you're not a grass?

Show me your ticket.

Where's yours?

All right, let's go, Vincent. Lead the way.

We're getting ready for new weapons.

It's getting worse.

Okay. One minute. Get this.

What do you want?

I want the whole poster.

Do you see anything?

In case you ever notice, I've got a situation here. Is there a poster

Yeah, I helped some guys do that. I'll tell you. I waited long enough. Are you

going to pay up or not? Are you going to fix that pipe?

I can't get them buckets in behind the screen.

Run upstairs.

Stop Harry Conway if he tries to come down. Sit down, you filthy solid. Don't

push me.

Dickie, not tonight.

I trusted you to fix that leak. Don't speak. Fine.

I couldn't do it. Go back to school. Whatever.

But do not abuse my good name.

Now, don't look at them. Look at me.

Pay attention to what I'm about to tell you. They're tied.

All of it. Here.

Every one of the splitted fear men call earth. Don't hold your eyes.

It's that same big empty hole.

And the only way to fill it is through love, work, or suffering. Well, I've

suffered enough.

So, save your premises and empty threats.

Because I do not care.

You tell him, surf man.

Witnesses. Your eyewitnesses.

Good man, Earl.

Woo!

Powerful stuff.

Powerful stuff.

High fives.

This kid with those buckets!

When I was small, you told me that it was magic behind the screen.

You told me that all the Disney princesses lived back here, so I snuck

see for myself.

Do you remember?

During Snow White?

Cinderella. Cinderella?

Yes, and your mother, she was frantic.

All I found back here was junk.

Well, welcome to Hollywood.

Broke my heart.

What?

You were barely four.

Shouldn't have lied to me.

Don't roll your eyes. I never lied to you.

Can't.

Buildings hold on to memories.

This one, especially.

You know, long before it was a cinema, it was a theatre, and every character

every play and every film we've ever shown lives on in these walls.

You know, the older I get, the more I believe that.

I've got them.

Look at this place.

What?

Those old movie busters.

Some of them could be worth more than this cinema.

Grease. My sister adores grease.

First night this came out, the manager said he'd throw her out if she didn't

behave.

She went every night, and when everyone got sick of it, she started going on her

own. The last night it was on. The manager.

Tapped her on the shoulder. Do you know what he did?

He said she didn't have to pay.

I didn't know it was that.

That was here.

That was you.

What else have you got?

Foolish. Never seen it.

Kate's mother.

Second date.

I was waiting to pick her up from work and this was on.

So I went in to see it and...

When it was over, I couldn't decide whether to meet her or go in and see it

again.

That's actually kind of sad.

I've been married too young.

I always wanted to be in the pictures.

I wanted to be a doctor.

When I was small, I thought for sure I'd be the girl up there.

But someone had to support the family.

Instead, I married the first guy I effed.

My father knew everything about how to make a decent living.

I learned that word here.

The f -words.

You know, like, to use it for sex.

I learned that in your cinema.

Before that I learned bone, bang, shag, screw.

No, but this girl likes dogs.

I have to run. Yeah, me too.

Lila.

Do you have a key for the front door?

Wasn't me, Sherlock.

Get on with it.

Sure.

They're telling the cinema. You lied to my face. Why would you keep... I

couldn't deny it. I won't let you do it.

All right, okay.

I'm disappointed, Earl. All right, now stop.

Stop. Enough.

Enough.

I didn't tell you because I knew you'd be like this.

Awesome, because none of your business.

I built this business. This is my cinema, and if some media comes along,

put enough to pay through the nose for it, then I'll... Excuse me.

Harry. Good night, ladies.

Vincent, get the door for him.

You need to go after him.

Aaron!

You go.

Now focus on going.

Amazing form.

Hi, Mr. Clancy. Can I talk to you?

Sorry.

Yes.

Yes, what is it?

It's... It's... Sorry.

You don't need to say sorry all the time. Sorry.

Assuming Harry Conway's not going to buy the place after what you said and he's

going to buy it back. It all needs to go into that again.

Sorry.

I was wondering if I could...

Have a raise. Help me out.

Help me out?

I'll work for free if it keeps the place open, I don't mind.

Thank you, but... Your wages aren't the issue, but

that's really... Very much appreciated. Excuse me.

You bastard.

No one saw that.

Oh, sweet Jesus, look who's outside.

Come on, Dickie.

What the hell?

Never a dull moment, is there?

It's Healy.

Can I have a word?

I'm going nowhere, fancy.

I'll stay here all night.

It's about, uh, the sergeant. Oh?

You know, I was here, don't you?

I, uh, I told Anna not to say anything, but, uh, she did.

Oh, she did.

About the robbers.

Terrible. Yes.

Yes, it is.

The sergeant says that...

Whoever did it.

I had a key.

Well, since I've checked with everyone else and they, um...

They... Paul?

Look, you're like family, Miss Healy.

What... What I mean is, I trust you and maybe that trust

will...

Maybe you... Rob the place. I have to.

If I don't, then the sergeant will, and... I don't care if it was... Just

on. I just need to know.

I'll get my coat.

Please, there's no need for that.

No need?

For your information, I'd sooner the sergeant accuse me than a fellow I've

since you were a child. I didn't accuse you.

You're wanted on the phone!

I just... You're just...

If you just opened your eyes and saw what was under your nose, you'd not be

accusing me.

I don't understand.

Gerald's on the phone. He says it's urgent.

I heard.

There's a lot you don't understand.

Go and see what you want.

What is it?

Right now? No, I can't. I can't write.

I'll write. Fine.

Fine, I said.

Uh, I need to go out for five minutes.

Stay.

Please.

Uh, no one go anywhere.

Get away from my person!

Big man!

Come on, then!

Tank's gonna get you, you bastard! Yeah, you're in for it now, huh?

I'll see you. I'll see you, Terry.

I'm in the wrong business.

I wouldn't wish a pub on my worst enemy.

What do you have to drink?

If you could produce it in the next minute, I could murder a cup of tea.

I'll have a proper drink. He'll have a point of playing.

I'll bring it over.

Tea is fine, good.

It's all I take it you didn't think much of the film.

I wasn't there to see the film.

No, you weren't.

Today's the business you have.

Shop's a goal of mine.

Sorry.

I have a number in mind.

There's a fair price.

Oh. Yeah.

And that petrol station will be a good cash cow for the pair of you. And you

won't have that fire marshal snapping at your heels.

Oh, to face on you.

Why, did you think I wouldn't know about that? You forget who you're dealing

with.

A fair play.

Petro Station is a clever move.

Your father, Lord have mercy on him, will be doing the same thing.

To Dan Clancy, may he rest in peace.

There's a pure showman, your father, one of the best.

I'll watch that film again, about a cinema.

Black and white comedy. The greatest show on earth. The smallest show on

With Norman Wisdom. Peter Sellers, directed by Basil Dearden. Nobody knows

stuff, all right. Well, you'll have to brush up yourself if you're going into

the business.

Me? No, I've no interest in running a cinema.

Oh, did you have someone in mind?

For what?

To run the place.

Oh, no, you got the wrong end of the stick entirely.

My only interest is in the site.

Location's perfect.

right in the middle of town.

Plenty of room for a car park.

Car park for what?

What do you mean for what? For cars. What else?

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'd be sorry as yourself to see the cinema go, but

that's progress for you.

Siemens are going to be announcing a big factory out the road.

That means more people.

And more cars.

A deep town is a bitch to find parking.

For the man?

I'll make a few calls, draw up an agreement, get the bottle.

I need

to go.

No, thank you. This is a very...

But I need... You need to get back. Well, go on.

Art. Oh, Bart.

It won't take a minute. He's to go.

I hear you were robbed last night.

Check and see if that's the same colour elastic band you used down in the cinema

below.

Mr Sunglass, there's Joe Garman left that behind him when he took a fibre off

roll of cash earlier on.

You didn't hear it from me? Thanks, Gus.

I need to go.

He said he had plans, but I didn't... I told him about the petrol station. He

low -balled us. He found out. I'm sorry.

And he picked a fire marshal on me. You don't know that.

It's a fair price, though. I mean, it's enough, right?

Yeah, it's enough.

More than enough.

He wants to demolish the cinema.

I didn't know about that.

He didn't want you to know.

It doesn't change anything, does it?

I mean, if it's a question of honouring Dad's legacy... Legacy?

What are you talking about?

Legacy?

You think Dad cared about this place?

Well, I've got news for you. He didn't. Nor did he care about me, or you, for

that matter. So, whatever this is, enough.

You're not him. Don't be like this.

He wasn't a good man, Gerald.

He put Mam in hospital, beat me black and blue, and left us with nothing when

died. Now he's gone, so stop.

No, no, no. You need to hear this.

Everything got taken from us, so I had to quit school and work so we could

You only know what Dad cared about. He cared about himself.

The legend of Dan Clancy. Major point.

Telling stories to impressed men like Harry Conway and chasing anything in his

skirt. And you want to know what else is true?

What he did to toss Tracy.

Conway said he went blind. Yes, he went blind, but not in a fire.

Dad did it with his fist.

He blinded him because he stood in his way. But that's a fucking lie.

The truth.

And I hate to break it to you, but the man you put on a pedestal your whole

life, he never existed.

The good stuff you remember, that was me.

I took on all the pain and all the hurt so you wouldn't have to. Then why do I

feel nothing but hurt when I'm around you? I'm not responsible for how you

Yes, you are. I'm sorry, I can't do this anymore.

Oh, my God, is that it?

God, you're so predictable.

Do you honestly not see it?

All this frustration, all this anger.

It's because you're afraid.

You're afraid to let the cinema go because when you do, you've nowhere to

anymore.

That's your opinion, is it? Not just mine.

What do you want from me, Gerald? Tell me what you want from me. I want your

support. I've supported you your entire life.

I put you through university.

That's not what I mean. I never got to go to university.

Is that why you hate me?

I don't hate you. You don't respect me. Because you're a child, you're a puppy,

always looking for a pap in the head.

You use words like that, you're distressed.

You don't know.

You never saw him in action. No, I didn't. But I see you.

And that nasty, selfish, arrogant father you can't get over.

He's you.

Stop it!

Stop! I don't have a brother!

Easy!

Drive in your box!

Well, this is Dad's legacy. You and me, these other shots is his legacy.

Dickie there looking for his money is his legacy. But you want to know the

really shocking thing? He was my father, too, and I loved him.

Sugar!

just picked up her coat and left.

Right.

I don't know.

I'm sorry I had to witness that.

Family.

Good news. Dickie's gone home.

I thought so.

And Miss Attili... She's gone home too.

Honestly, can you blame her?

Well, can you?

I was around to accuse her.

Truth is, I don't even care about the money.

It's never about the money. It's always about the money.

No, Viola, it's about respect.

Call the guard station.

What? What's going on? I found the teeth. That's what's been on. Where are

going?

Get this guy.

What are you going to do? You don't need to prove anything.

I think I do.

Line busy.

Tell me I

didn't just say that.

Tell me I didn't. I'm too common.

Woman? So?

What do you care? What's wrong with you? He robbed her last night.

That's not true.

I have proof.

Bullshit. He didn't do it.

That's how he told you, isn't it?

Isn't it?

It was you.

You gave him the key.

Why would you do that?

Why?

Kids.

I don't know what to do.

What am I supposed to do here?

I don't care what you do.

Why does everything have to be so hard?

Can you tell me what I've done that's so terrible?

Nothing. You did nothing because you're always here.

Well, I'm here because I need to be here. You're here because you want to

want to. Oh, yes, of course I want to be. Yeah, who wouldn't want this? You

at me, I'm just living the dream. Killing myself.

Trying to run a business in the face of every fucker.

Have you seen me beat up?

Or dead?

No, Kate, I do it to keep clothes on your back.

You do it for you.

It's the only...

you appreciate.

The cinema. The cinema.

You do it because you choose to do it. I do it because I never had a choice.

Yes, you did.

You could have chosen us.

Is everything okay?

Take your hands off her.

Stop it, Dad.

He knows.

I know what she's talking about. Tell it to the guards.

Tell what to the guards?

That your little darling gave me the keys?

Joe.

Just go.

Make me.

Joe. Give it your best shot.

Fair warning, though. You lay a finger on me, there won't be a button left for

the inquest. Stop it, Joe. Just leave me. Shut the fuck up!

Dad!

Dad! You're killing him! Let him go.

You're a better man than this, aren't you?

This isn't your world.

Get up.

You need to fucking leave.

Just go and you can keep the money.

Go.

Fuck this place.

I'll watch everything on video anyways.

Fuck your dog. Tell me you can keep her.

You okay?

I should have just let him hit me.

Fuck that.

I would have strangled the little bollocks.

You knew.

Don't be too hard on the girl. She didn't mean it.

She robbed us.

I blamed you.

We all make mistakes. She's young.

Hormones. I think she's trying to tell you something, Mr. Clancy.

You know, she's not alone.

She thinks I don't appreciate her because I'm always here.

You're here because you've got a business to run.

You might as well know.

Harry Conway made an offer.

I'm going to take it.

You're making a mistake.

We've had a good run.

Now it's over.

And I'm tired.

Yes.

I'm tired.

Tired of this carpet.

Tired of this.

Tired of worrying.

Tired of fighting.

I'm tired of always being the one that everyone hates.

Don't say that.

It's not true.

No one hates you.

sure it's the right thing.

Don't lie to me, I'm not broke.

He's leaving!

How much he will give you, you think?

Enough for a bit.

What's the plan in Mexico when there's no more money?

Make more?

Is this yours?

Sorry? Yeah, it is. Can I have some?

Sure, I'll have it all.

Welcome.

Only presentable.

What? How do we look?

Fine.

Your tie's crooked.

It is.

Thanks.

Are you all right, Mr. Campbell?

Never been better.

You need to go back upstairs.

I need to do a lot of things, Maura.

Let's start a call in you, Maura. Let me handle her.

Tank!

There you are, you cunt!

She's Tank.

What the fuck did you say to my cousin?

Wait, now, now.

Let's discuss this. Your cousin was trying to burn down the cinema.

Fucking burn down the cinema with you two stupid bastards.

What are you doing?

No, Kate, I deserve this.

Come on.

Get out.

You heard me.

Leave.

Now. You fucker.

Jesus, he's dead!

Dad?

She ran into the door.

Oh, thank God.

It's a power cut.

Will this night ever end?

Not to worry, Maura.

I have it all in hand.

is carrying me.

Don't give up.

Please.

Don't give up.

Looking from a window above, it's like a story of love.

Can you hear me?

Came back only yesterday to linger away

watching me.

Please, let the film still on.

This night will be one for the book. Jesus Christ.

What happened here?

We had a little drama.

Drama? The state of you.

Your sleeve is hanging off you.

I didn't even notice.

Well, sure, look, that's...

I know you want to move fast.

Is that fast enough for you?

It's a purchase agreement.

A purchase agreement?

Really?

Sign your name and I'll have the funds in your account first thing Monday

morning.

Sooner if I'm able.

Right there.

The film's nearly over.

Come up to the box and turn up the dimmer as soon as you see the credits.

Right now?

Grab Vincent on the way. Show him the ropes.

Really?

Teenagers.

Do you remember what you said about the petrol station?

You said that there was this fella with the single pumper gun.

I'm him, aren't I? I'm that fella.

You're a dinosaur.

Sign your name, for God's sake. It came to me during the blackout.

Everyone was singing.

First the balcony, then downstairs.

One cinema, two halves.

Call me crazy, but I'm beginning to think I have a purpose here.

You know, like the Silver Surfer.

Someone tell me, what the fuck's he talking about?

A second screen, that's what I'm talking about.

I'm going to put in a second screen.

Is he fucking serious?

I think he is.

If the business is evolving, then I'm evolving with it.

Partner with me.

You'll be gone in a year.

I might be.

They've been saying that since the day we opened.

And here we are.

Still around.

And still they come.

You know why?

You're about to tell me. Because the cinema brings them together for an

experience that's so much more than the picture. That's why they come.

And no video or whatever else comes along.

None of it can replace that.

It's a good business.

Harry, your words are good cash business.

Sold the petrol station!

Has anyone ever fallen in love at a petrol station?

God's sake.

Do people laugh and cry at the pub? Ah, you've seen too many, Philip. And you

haven't seen enough.

So, thank you, but no thank you.

Are you okay with this?

Yes.

I am.

I like our chances, actually.

Especially with that new seaman's factory.

There'll be a lot more people with a lot more money.

Ah, this is a real stab in the back after all I've done for this family.

To hell with the pay area.

To hell with this place.

You're leaving, Harry. I'll fuck the land yet.

Well, he's lost my boat.

I said he'd do the right thing, didn't I? He did, Mrs. Healy. He did.

Oh, the film's over.

No rest for the wicked.

Come on, ladies.

Still no sign of the sergeant.

Useless. That fella.

You were wrong, you know.

About what?

The man I put on a pedestal my whole life?

It wasn't Dad.

It was you.

Thanks a million Mr. Clancy.

Oliver.

Hopefully not as complicated, but look... Not that it looks easy, but, you

good to have a good teacher.

You're a good teacher, is what I mean, like... Uh, Mr. Petty?

I need a new projectionist.

You interested?

Me? Yes, you.

Yes, I do.

I expect.

Sorry, yes, I accept.

Good.

Because I'm going to teach you in one weekend what it took your predecessor a

month to learn. Next week, you're going to be showing a film on your own. I

think you can handle that.

100%. Absolutely.

Good.

The training begins tomorrow morning.

10 a .m. Don't be late. I won't be.

You can go home now.

I don't mind staying. Go home. Right, sorry.

Taking that big off?

Yes.

Does he think he can run the place?

We should do something, you and me.

Might have plans.

Oh.

Well, I'll talk to your secretary.

Careful, you'll snap the film. I'm doing it, okay?

Fine, fine, fine.

I didn't sign.

I gathered.

Wait till you hear the rest.

Tell me.

I'll tell you in the car.

Come on.

Look at that.

By the chip van.

A flickering stone upholstered.

Guess you just loved movies too much.

Can we get a tip?

Absolutely not.

You realise you're paying back every penny. You know that, right?

Take it out of my wages.

You don't get wages.

Well, then you better start paying me.

Well, maybe we'll discuss that over a cup of tea.

Come on, let's get out of here.

I'm not responsible for how you think. You're lying in your box. That is it,

I'm beginning to think I have a problem. I have nothing to believe in. People

hurt, Father. They're killing each other across the street. He dies at the end.

Witnesses, your eyewitnesses. Get away from the car.

That's why they go.

Yeah, he fell himself, man.

He fell.

Many people tell you that they're your friend.

If you believe them, you need them.

Watch round the river bend.

Make sure that you're receiving the signals they send.

So run up.

You've only got two hands to lend.

Maybe there's someone who makes you leave.

You might do what you have when you're free.

There are things on your mind you should keep.

Sometimes it's tough but you look back too late.

Watch out for the skin.

Watch out for the skin.

Watch out for the skin.

Watch out for the skin.

One day, the track that you're climbing gets me.

Your emotions sprayed when you're not starting to creep.

Because you've planned all the days as long as the time that you keep.

Brother, you better watch out for the skin deep.

You better watch out for the skin, baby.

You better watch out for the skin, baby.

Watch out for the skin, baby.

Watch out for the skin, baby.

You better watch out for the skin, baby.

I remember one Christmas a fella came in here with a ghost.

A live ghost stuck up under his jumper.

And there were two women came in here in ships and they sat down next to him.

And after a few minutes the ghost took his head out of your man's trousers.

And the first woman spat to me, she said to her pal, will you look at what's

after coming out of your man's trousers.

And my friend looks over and she says, Asher, if you've seen one, you've seen

them all. I don't know about that, she says. I think this one's eaten my chips.
