Left home, Mick?

Yeah. And after last Saturday night, I come straight here from work in future.

Hey, don't you like flies with this stuff? You think so? Yeah.

That's the gear.

Yeah, the lippy.

How are you now, McCushion? I give you Sally comes home in the dark. Last

Saturday, what happened?

Nothing. That's the trouble.

Your man here brings a few maids from work. By the time I'm changed at home

and get here.

Even the banshees were nobbled. One spitting old son?

Yeah, two through.

With you around, me old son, not even a bride and no wedding night would be

safe.

Mixing your drinks?

Gets me religion.

Economical reasons.

Do you know how you touch that stuff?

What would you peasants know?

Beer drinkers. That's why you end up with the scrubbers all the time.

Listen to Casanova.

Look, no self-respecting bird will stand to smell at cheap booze. This gear.

This gear.

Better class abroad.

What's the farm like? One or two okay.

But some rough stuff as well. Oh, just watch out. I'm really moving tonight.

You're not the only one, eh?

What? You got some of me lined up? Yeah, sure I have. One of the... Come on, come

on, give.

After last Saturday night, you must be joking. Okay, have it your own way. But

remember, out there, it's every man for himself.

Yep. Have you got your corsets on yet? Yep. Just a quick flick of the comb

through the alley, eh? We're way on the hike. Are we right?

Lead the way, squire.

Where have you been hiding?

Been looking for you all me life.

Oh, I haven't been in Dublin very long. This is my first time here.

I bet you're an actress.

Up to the Abbey, are you?

No, not at all.

I'm in service here.

You're a domestic servant, then?

Yeah.

How would you like to come and work for me?

You're looking for a girl?

Say that.

One who wouldn't mind a bit of overtime.

Job like that at the moment. Thank you very much. Do you know that I work from

morning to night with one night off a week?

I was only kidding.

What's your name then?

Cecilia.

Cecilia?

Great.

My name is, uh, my name is Max.

Max?

I like it.

It's nice.

Will you look at that?

Hey, Tony.

What? Come here.

He's working hard. He is? Oh, he's determined to get somewhere tonight.

I can just hear him now laying it on with a trowel.

I've been searching for you all my life. I don't believe you. Oh, you're so

beautiful. Oh, stop, stop. Your silver tongue is driving me mad.

Come outside with me. Come outside and give the star some competition.

I can't.

I'm fascinated by that young man over there talking to Kevin.

Oh, you don't want to worry about him. He's nothing but a bump.

Now, watch it.

No taking verbal liberties on the slide.

Next dance, please. It's not an excuse, mate.

It's a lady's choice, you living doll.

He won't have it for the next dance the way he was talking inside you ought to

Oh, you're a smart mover.

No hard feelings, then?

Yeah.

Just got to get me cold gloves. See you later, fellas.

I didn't really fancy her anyway.

Nice night, anyway.

Yeah, it's lovely. I love the fresh air.

Hey, how would you like to go to the sea? Get the bus to Docky. Be there in

no time.

Gee, that'd be great, Max.

I've never been out that far before.

Yeah.

Come on, then.

Cecilia, what sort of a name is that for a skivvy?

What if I had never skivvy with a name like that?

Most of them let you hold their hand.

She's holding mine back.

Oh, uh, here, Cecilia.

Uh, get yourself some sweets. Oh.

Thanks, Max. I won't be a minute.

Hurry up, love. There's a bus, Joe.

Now, what was all that in aid of?

Big deal.

The last of the big spenders.

Beating stupid.

Your last half a sheet.

What'll she do with it?

She'll blow it.

Same as the rest of them.

And why shouldn't she?

God, Tony'll laugh himself sick if he ever hears about this.

Why?

She didn't ask for sweets.

Oh, box of chocolates, please. Oh, large one.

You can't blame her.

Why shouldn't she take whatever's gone? You do it.

It's your own stupid fault.

What kind of an idiot are you?

Spilt milk. Forget it.

She'll learn it when we get down to the beach.

She'll be well worth the trouble.

Now, that's no excuse.

If you're going to get anything, you've got it anyway.

Walk to work on Monday over giving her that 10-bob note.

Never learn, will you?

Girls take what they can get. Nowhere after one thing.

So why shouldn't they?

Come on, Cecilia. We missed the bus.

Come on.

Coming.

Have you always lived in Dublin, Max?

Oh, yeah, most of the time.

Except, of course, when I was in the States.

You've been to America?

I'd love to go to America.

Tell me about it.

Oh, it's all right, you know.

Nothing special.

What part are you in?

What? I didn't get that.

I was asking you what part of America you were in.

I was saying Brooklyn.

You know, the Bronx.

Yeah, around, you know.

I'd like to travel.

Even being here in Dublin is traveling.

Where I come from.

Before I came here, I'd never been any further than about ten miles from the

village.

I'd love to go to London.

London must be marvellous.

I love Dublin.

So you love Dublin. Who cares?

The people I work for are awful.

God don't tell me.

They treat a person like dirt just because they're well off.

I wouldn't let them bother you. Then you wouldn't be bothering me with it.

It's not the awful food or anything.

I wish I could tell you straight out.

I don't want to know.

Don't involve me in your problems.

Let's keep our interest in each other down to the bare minimum.

People like that make you sick.

Shut up, will you? What do I care?

Uh, pictures.

Would you like one?

I love them.

Especially love stories.

You know, the Technicolor ones with the big cars and the gorgeous fellas.

Yeah, yeah, they're all right.

I like gangster ones.

I saw a great one the other night. An old one, mind you, but it was great.

Bogey. Humphrey Bogart was playing this fella called Max.

I know.

No, his name was Mick.

That's right, Mick.

Yeah, he was great, you know.

Don't give me a hard time, Blue Eyes, or I'll tear your arms off and stuff them

down your throat.

Flash, please.

Take the donkey, please.

Going up the hill, are you?

Maybe.

That bus isn't, is it?

Nice knife for her anyway.

I'll have to put my fist right in your mouth.

That man was awful.

That pig.

Oh, I didn't bother you.

There's no need for people to behave like that.

Cheeky sod.

Might have ruined everything.

Couldn't mind to give him a knuckle sandwich.

Here's a mall on this road.

Out to Donkey.

The hill or the beach.

Quick tumble and back to town.

Lousy.

Might have put her off altogether.

That conductor, his eyes were like snakes. Forget it. You don't want to

worry about creeps like that.

Yeah. Oh, Max, isn't it lovely here? Yeah.

Yeah, I like it here.

See, you know, it looks so marvellous.

Let's go down, Max.

Come on, you're all right.

Don't worry, Cecilia.

I'll soon drive Snake Eyes out of your mind.

Right, then.

Let's get after it.

She's red-hot.

There'll be no messing about with this one.

Tony'll be wild when I tell him.

Nearly didn't go to that dance.

That softy in Rathgar was left standing outside the picture house.

She'll live.

Never shuts up talking. Even when you're there, she'd talk if she could find the

breath.

Oh, Mickey, what are you going to do to me tonight?

What if she didn't know?

You get fed up with that kind.

This one's different.

He'll have my life if ever he learns about my two-headed crime.

He said it. I'll stare and sex some more.

This isn't war.

Come on.

It's time to paddle.

But she's eaten the water.

And herself.

Go on. Go on. Get excited.

I can wait.

All the better for having to wait.

Saturday night, a stripping night.

Yes, Max.

Yes, yes.

I do. I want to.

You want to what?

Go on. Admit it.

I want to.

I want you to make love to me.

I don't know now, kid.

Max, please.

Please, Max.

I want you.

Come on in. It's lovely, Max.

It's lovely here.

You come to me.

She's kind of like a kid.

Innocent. Maybe she's just dumb.

Hey, one of us our first time.

Oh, that'll be something.

Beat her fast.

We'll be taking her liberty.

It's got to happen sooner or later.

Yeah.

She's not as innocent as she'd like me to believe.

The way she kissed me.

I've been kissed plenty.

I don't think Bob's telling Bob in any language.

He expects me to make love to her.

I mean, it wouldn't be right to disappoint her.

I don't know what it's like in the water.

The waves lapping us up.

Waves and waves and waves.

The legs are all wet.

Enough wet legs.

Yeah, enough legs, period.

Come on. Come on.

There's waiting and waiting.

Hey, Cecilia. What is it, Max?

Come on, your cat's cold.

Max, it's lovely.

Take your shoes off.

No, thanks.

most beautiful kid I've ever seen in my life.

Oh, Max, you're very nice to me.

I'm nice to all the girls.

I don't care about the others.

You're nice to me.

Go on, kid.

I got plans for you.

Go on, sit down.

Oh, yeah.

This is the nicest evening I've ever had in my life, Max.

I'm glad, kid.

Not the nicest.

The best.

Yeah. Yeah, me too.

Honey, apart from the word go, everything was right about you. Not just

sex. No, something here.

Inside.

It's your chemistry, kid.

Like we were... Like... Like we were made for each other.

Oh, God, Ed.

You're laying us on with the trial.

You'll make me throw up in a minute.

Where's from the first dance?

Holding you, it was like Christmas.

I felt like that too, Max.

Max, don't say another word.

You don't have to say anything.

Just keep quiet.

You can say thank you afterwards.

But shut up now.

Didn't you know we'd be here together like this?

Max, kiss me.

Do you think we're still perfect?

It was meant to happen.

Where we are now.

Where we're going to be.

Lovers.

Just us.

You.

Give me a simple thing. The way we got that bus.

Oh, Max.

What on earth must you think of me? What?

Your change. I never gave you your change.

What change? What do you mean?

What are you talking about?

Ten shillings.

When we ran for the bus, it went completely out of my mind.

You didn't... You didn't spend it?

Ten shillings?

I'd never spend that much of your money on myself.

It wouldn't be fair.

She didn't spend it.

She didn't spend the ten bob.

Oh, a box of chocolates, please. Oh, the large one.

Yeah, you know it all, don't you? Oh, yeah, she's just like all the others.

But she's not.

She's not, is she, Lado?

Where does that leave you?

She's dumb?

Innocent? Doesn't matter. You don't care.

So she's decent, so what?

You don't care.

Do you?

Well, now, bloody hell, didn't you cut that chat and just get on with it?

Max, what is it?

What's wrong?

Nothing. Just me.

I just realized how late it is.

Late?

There are plenty of buses yet.

Yeah, I know.

But promise the lads.

Have I done something wrong?

No.

Come on, we'd better go.

All right, Max.

If that's the way you want it.

My name isn't Max.

It's Mick.

I only said Max for a joke.

Wakey, wakey.

Wakey, wakey.

We're here.

Oh, thanks.

Short trip this time.

Yeah.

If it'd been me, I'd have been there all night.

Come on, Cecilia, we're here.

You're gonna think yourself luckier in that uniform. Yeah?

I'm not doing a month inside for you. It'd be worth it to give you one right

in the teeth.

You're frightening the life out of me, Squire. Do you know that?

This isn't a big town, me old son.

I see you when you're out of uniform.

Big deal.

Bloody hell, didn't she spend the tambour?

Only she'd done that.

Hiya, Nick.

Sorry, kids, I gotta go. Me man's back.

I thought you were with me.

Don't call me the Lone Ranger for nothing. See you.

You've got a cheek.

Don't give me a hard time. There's a good girl.

You're back soon.

Instant seduction, I suppose?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, something like that. All right, was it? Yeah, yeah.

You're being very cute.

Must be something special.

Blame me laugh.

I don't even want the bus fare.

You're the one that's handing out the laughs.

That was a natural if ever I saw one.

Yeah. Here.

How'd it go, then?

Fine, fine.

Finished with Ravien?

You're wasting your time.

You're trying to kill a fellow that's killed thousands.

I will.

Just watch me.

On the level.

Here. Here.

All right, Nick.

What are you waiting for?

A draw?

Sure. What draw?

See who gets the lucky number.

Mine. What are you then? The consolation prize?

I don't think I want to answer.

He's not Richard Burton, is he?

No, I'm different.

Some people don't half fancy themselves.

I'll give you a shout when the results come through.

Yeah, you do that.

Well, there you are. He's made it. Yeah.

See you tomorrow.

Half two.

Half two. See you, Kev. Come on.

Good night, Max.

Look, come on, kid. This is your lucky night.

What's all this Max business?

Think I turn my real name to every dumb bird I pull?

Cool.

Ah, here comes mine.

Wears me like a glove.

So long, Anselm.

Where have you been hiding?

Welcome to your army life.
