Dermot: I TOLD -- I TOLD HIM NOTHING GOOD WOULD COME

AT DESTROYING THE COUNTRYSIDE.

I TOLD HIM THAT AGES AGO.

BUT, OF COURSE, NOBODY LISTENS TO WHAT I'VE GOT TO SAY.

NO. WHY WOULD THEY?

I THOUGHT YOU LOVED IT HERE.

Dermot: NO NEED FOR THAT.

IF YOU --

YOU FEEL THE NEED TO DECEIVE ME,

AT LEAST PUT A DECENT EFFORT INTO HIDING THE EVIDENCE.

Abbey: I WAS GONNA TELL YOU.

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, I WAS GONNA TELL YOU.

I JUST DIDN'T -- I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT --

* AND RIGHTS HAVE BEEN READ *

[ BABY CRIES ]

* I THINK OF YOU OFTEN *

* BUT FOR ONCE, I MEANT WHAT I SAID *

Deirdre: [ SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ]

* I WAS SALTED BY YOUR HUNGER *

* NOW YOU'VE GONE AND LOST YOUR APPETITE *

* AND A LITTLE BIRD IS EVERY BIT *

* AS HANDY IN A FIGHT *

* I AM LONELY AS A MEMORY... *

Sean: WHEN ARE WE GETTING THE WIRE, PROFESSOR FAY?

Dermot: IT'S DERMOT.

HOW OFTEN DO I HAVE TO SAY IT?

IT'S GOING WELL.

Sean: YEAH, WHATEVER.

Dermot: DON'T "WHATEVER" ME.

THAT'S SUCH A BORING ATTITUDE TO TAKE.

I BROUGHT SANDWICHES.

Sean: JUST LIKE MY MOTHER'S. [ CHUCKLES ]

Dermot: IS IT?

Sean: YEAH.

Sean: SO WHAT'D YOU TEACH IN DUBLIN?

Dermot: YOU SHOULD ASK ME WHAT I LEARNED.

Sean: MM. I AGREE.

ABOUT SCHOOL,

I DON'T SEE THE POINT IN GOING

BECAUSE, LIKE, MOST OF THE STUFF THEY TEACH YOU

IS GONNA BE OUTDATED BY THE TIME I LEAVE.

AND IF IT'S REALLY THAT IMPORTANT,

I CAN ALWAYS JUST -- JUST GOOGLE IT.

Dermot: GOOGLE IT?

LISTEN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS

THAT KEEPS YOU FROM GOING TO SCHOOL,

BUT WHATEVER IT IS, TRUST ME,

IT'S NOT WORTH RUINING THE REST OF YOUR LIFE FOR.

Sean: I WAS, UH --

I WAS, UH, CAUGHT DOWNLOADING STUFF

OFF THE INTERNET AT SCHOOL.

Dermot: LIKE WHAT?

PORN?

Sean: MAYBE.

Dermot: WELL, THAT'S DEFINITELY STUPID,

BUT IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.

MOST OF YOUR TEACHERS ARE PROBABLY DOING IT, TOO.

MIND YOU, AT HOME.

Sean: [ CHUCKLES ]

[ VEHICLE APPROACHES ]

Michael: HI, THERE.

I'M FROM THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, AND, UH,

I'VE COME ABOUT A STRAP YOU'VE REPORTED.

Dermot: MICHAEL?

Michael: YEAH.

Dermot: IT'S DERMOT.

DERMOT FAY.

Michael: GOSH, YOU'VE...CHANGED.

IT'S BEEN WHAT?

Dermot: OH. [ CHUCKLES ] IT'S BEEN AWHILE.

Michael: WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE?

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU'D SWITCHED TO WORKING IN THE FIELD.

Dermot: WELL, I DIDN'T. I LIVE HERE.

-Michael: WHERE? -Dermot: RIGHT THERE.

Michael: THAT'S WHERE YOU LIVE?

Dermot: AYE.

Michael: I HEARD YOU'D GONE OUT WEST AFTER THE WHOLE, UH, DEBACLE,

BUT WHEN I GOT BACK FROM ASIA,

NO ONE KNEW HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU.

Dermot: UH, WELL, THAT WAS THE POINT.

Michael: WEIRD THE PLACES WE WIND UP IN, ISN'T IT?

A KID GROWING UP IN A CRAMPED READING FLAT,

I DREAMED OF FAR-FLUNG PLACES, OF EGYPT AND INDONESIA, SIAM.

DISCOVERING EL DORADO

OR THE ELEPHANT'S GRAVEYARD, CAMELOT.

SO TO WIND UP TRYING TO DIG UP IRISH HISTORY...

Michael: "TRYING" BEING THE OPERATIVE WORD.

Dermot: ...AS AN ENGLISHMEN IS IRONIC.

Michael: LIKE YOU DIDN'T HAVE BIGGER PLANS FOR YOURSELF.

LIVING LIKE A HERMIT AT THE END OF THE WORLD.

Dermot: I'M NOT A HERMIT.

I WORK...

EDITING OTHER PEOPLE'S CRAPPY STUFF.

I TRAVEL...

TO GALWAY SOMETIMES.

THAT'S WHERE I MET ABBEY --

AT A POETRY READING.

IF YOU DON'T MIND.

Michael: WHO IS THAT?

Dermot: OH, THAT'S JUST A KID BUILDING A FENCE FOR ME.

SORRY.

Michael: JUST A KID BUILDING A FENCE FOR YOU.

Dermot: YES. JUST A KID BUILDING A FENCE FOR ME,

OR MEANT TO BE.

Michael: PROBABLY THE SAME AGE AS SOPHIE'S KID, HASN'T HE?

WHAT WAS HIS NAME? RORY, WASN'T IT?

Dermot: YEAH.

LISTEN, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I HAVE TO PICK SOMETHING UP IN TOWN.

I'M SURE YOU'LL BE FINE HERE ON YOUR OWN.

I'LL, UH -- I'LL CATCH UP WITH YOU LATER, ALL RIGHT?

Michael: ALL RIGHT.

Frank: MORNING, SWEETHEART.

HUH? [ CHUCKLES ]

Abbey: OH, DAD.

[ YAWNS ]

Frank: I'M SORRY ABOUT LAST NIGHT.

Abbey: OH, IT'S OKAY.

YOU KNOW, AS LONG AS YOU MAKE ME BREAKFAST IN BED

EVERY SINGLE DAY, ALL IS FORGIVEN.

WOW.

Frank: YOU KNOW, THIS BABY COULD BE

THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO YOU.

Abbey: GOD. WELL, THAT'S NOT SAYING MUCH.

Frank: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YOU LOOK PRETTY WELL ADJUSTED.

Abbey: DAD...

I JUST DON'T WANT TO DO THIS ALONE.

Frank: YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

YOU GOT CELINE. YOU GOT ME.

AND ALL THIS BABY'S GOING TO NEED IS LOVE --

TONS OF LOVE --

AND A PARENT WITH NERVES OF STEEL.

Dermot: WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

Man: DON'T KNOW. OUT LOOKIN' FOR WORK.

Dermot: THAT'S NICE.

Abbey: AFTER MOM LEFT,

IT WAS JUST ME AND DAD, YOU KNOW?

IT WAS JUST US.

IT WAS JUST US AGAINST THE REST OF THIS STINKIN' WORLD.

Celine: WELL, THAT WAS THEN, AND THIS IS NOW.

NOW YOU HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR YOUR OWN.

Abbey: HE TOLD YOU?

Celine: IT'S GREAT NEWS, ABBEY.

Abbey: OH, NO, NO.

IT'S A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT.

Celine: DOES HE LOVE YOU?

Abbey: YES, ACTUALLY. HE DOES LOVE ME.

THE IDEA OF A BABY -- NOT SO MUCH.

Celine: OH, HE'LL COME AROUND.

ONCE HE SEES HOW CUTE HIS MINI ME IS,

HE WON'T BE ABLE TO RESIST.

Abbey: IF THERE'S EVEN GONNA BE A MINI ME.

Celine: OKAY, LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.

-HE LOVES YOU? -Abbey: YES.

-Celine: AND YOU LOVE HIM? -Abbey: YES.

Celine: SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

Abbey: YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH MOM.

Celine: SO?

Abbey: SO WHO'S TO SAY

I WOULDN'T CHOOSE A LOVER OVER MY CHILD?

Celine: ABBEY, SURELY YOU UNDERSTAND

THAT IT WAS A BIT MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT.

Abbey: NO, LOOK AT ME. I'M MY MOTHER'S SPITTING IMAGE.

I'M HOPPING AROUND FROM PLACE TO PLACE.

I CANNOT FORM A LASTING RELATIONSHIP

WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN MY BACKPACK.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS,

IS THAT WENT EAST INSTEAD OF SOUTH.

SO IT WAS FUN IN THE RAIN FOR ME.

Celine: WAIT.

[ ENGINE SHUTS OFF ]

Sean: WHERE'S THE WIRE?

Dermot: SHIT.

WASN'T IN YET.

TOMORROW. I'LL GET IT TOMORROW.

WHAT? WHAT?

YOU THINK I CAN'T EVEN GET YOU A BUNCH OF WIRE?

Sean: I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

Dermot: GOOD.

LAST THING I NEED RIGHT NOW IS ATTITUDE.

GOB SHOUTING AT YOU.

Celine: NOW, THIS MIGHT PROVE TO BE A BIT DIFFICULT,

BUT IT'S TIME.

YOU NEED TO LEAD YOUR OWN LIFE AND MAKE YOUR OWN MISTAKES.

Abbey: WHAT IS THAT?

Celine: YOUR MOTHER'S DIARY.

I FOUND IT WHEN FRANK ASKED ME TO THROW OUT HER STUFF.

Abbey: DAD?

DAD, ARE YOU HERE?

Sean: DO YOU NEED A HAND?

Deirdre: NO, I'M FINE. THANKS.

Sean: OKAY, THEN.

Deirdre: FINE. KNOCK YOURSELF OUT.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I HATE MOST ABOUT IT?

IS THAT IT'S SO BLOODY STUPID, YOU KNOW?

I MEAN, WHO GETS KNOCKED UP IN A ONE-NIGHT STAND

AND KEEPS THE BABY?

[ SCOFFS ] HOW 19-BLOODY-50s IS THAT?

Sean: YOU'RE BETTER OFF WITHOUT A BLOKE, ANYWAYS.

YOU KNOW, MOSTLY ALL MY DAD DID WAS,

HE'D MAKE ME MOM HAVE MORE BABIES,

AND THEN HE'D JUST TAKE OFF ANYWAY.

Deirdre: [ CHUCKLES ]

THE PROFESSOR -- WHAT'D HE DO THAT WAS SO BAD?

Deirdre: DON'T REALLY KNOW.

WHATEVER IT IS, IT MUST HAVE BEEN SOMETHING

REALLY, REALLY STUPID.

PROBABLY SOMETHING TO DO WITH A GIRL.

THAT'S ALWAYS IT, ISN'T IT?

[ BOTH CHUCKLE ]

ANYWAYS, HE LOST HIS JOB AT TRINITY

AND HAS BEEN FORCED TO LIVE HERE EVER SINCE.

Sean: I THOUGHT HE LIKED IT HERE?

Deirdre: WELL, THAT'S PART OF IT MAYBE,

BUT...

I MEAN, THERE'S MORE TO IT, I'M SURE.

HEY.

DO YOU WANT ANOTHER ONE?

Sean: ABSOLUTELY.

Dermot: [ SNORES ]

[ DOOR OPENS ]

Dermot: [ SNORTS ]

HEY.

[ MUTTERS ] YOU SCARED ME.

Michael: YES, IT LOOKS LIKE IT.

MAY I COME IN?

Dermot: DO I HAVE A CHOICE?

Michael: NO, NOT REALLY.

I'M NOT, UH, REALLY PREPARED FOR VISITORS.

Michael: I'LL HAVE A CUP OF TEA IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

THAT WOULD BE GRAND.

Dermot: TEA IT IS.

[ WATER RUNNING ]

Michael: "EVERYTHING THAT BEGINS TO BE,

BEGINS BY WAY OF MOTION OR CHANGE."

Dermot: YEAH. EASY TO SAY WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG

AND THE FUTURE LIES AHEAD OF YA ALL FRESH AND SPARKLY.

NOW I JUST WANT TO HOLD ON TO WHAT IT IS I HAVE.

OR MIGHT HAVE.

SHE'S PREGNANT.

Michael: SO WHY DIDN'T YOU GO WITH HER?

Dermot: SHE WENT TO CANADA TO SEE HER DAD,

NOT TO ENGLAND TO HAVE AN ABORTION, YOU IDIOT.

Michael: SO SHE'S KEEPING IT?

Dermot: I DON'T KNOW.

AND APPARENTLY I DON'T HAVE A SAY IN THE MATTER.

Michael: WELL, MAYBE THAT'S FOR THE BEST...

GIVEN YOUR, UH --

Dermot: WHY DO YOU KEEP BRINGING THAT ANCIENT STUFF UP?

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING.

Michael: IF THAT WERE TRUE,

THEN WHY EXACTLY ARE WE BREAKING OUR BACKS

IN THAT BOG OF YOURS?

Frank: SWEETHEART, I'M HOME.

I GOT CHICKEN AND FISH.

WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT?

I KNOW WOMEN IN YOUR CONDITION TO BE QUITE SPECIFIC.

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?

Abbey: "AS I AM SENTENCED TO WATCH HER STUPID GAMES...

"I WONDER HOW FAR I COULD GET

BEFORE SHE WOULD NOTICE I WAS GONE."

Frank: CELINE WAS SUPPOSED TO THROW THAT AWAY.

Abbey: NOBODY THROWS OUT DIARIES, DAD. NOBODY DOES THAT.

"DAYS VANISH INTO NOTHING. THE SELF DISSOLVES."

Frank: GIVE ME THAT.

Abbey: YOU LIED TO ME.

SHE DIDN'T RUN OFF TO COSTA RICA FOR SOME FUN IN THE SUN.

THERE WAS NO LOVER.

SHE HATED BEING A MOTHER.

[ Voice breaking ] SHE HATED BEING MY MOTHER.

Frank: [ SIGHS ]

[ SIGHS ] SHE WAS CONFUSED.

SHE WAS TROUBLED.

-ABBEY, IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT. -Abbey: OH, AND THEN THIS ONE.

Frank: NO. LISTEN.

SHE WAS WEAK.

AND AT THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE,

SHE JUST -- SHE JUST RAN AWAY.

Abbey: YEAH.

JUST LIKE ME.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

[ DOOR OPENS ]

Michael: LISTEN, DERMOT.

THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN HONOR SOPHIE NOW --

Dermot: SHUT IT.

SHUT IT.

Michael: IT'S SHUTTING.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

Woman: * YOU'LL BE IN TOWN BY TOMORROW *

* I THINK IT'S TIME THAT I STOP BY *

* I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN AWHILE

* I JUST NEEDED TIME

Man: SO WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE TODAY?

Abbey: I'LL HAVE A GIN AND TONIC, PLEASE.

-Woman: * IT'S BEEN A YEAR -Man: ALL RIGHT.

Abbey: AND MAKE IT A DOUBLE.

Woman: * IT'S BEEN SO LONG

Dermot: WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

Sean: WENT OUT WITH DEIRDRE LAST NIGHT.

-Dermot: DEIRDRE? -Sean: MM.

SHE, UH -- SHE SAYS SHE STILL HAS YOUR COAT

IF, UH, YOU WANT IT BACK.

Dermot: IF I WANT IT? IT'S MY COAT, ISN'T IT?

COME IN OUT OF THE RAIN. COME ON.

CUP OF TEA?

Sean: UH, JUICE.

OH, THANKS.

OH, WHAT'S THAT?

Dermot: KILIAN EN VITAE.

IT'S ABOUT SAINT KILIAN,

WHO MET A PARTICULARLY BITTER END --

THE WRATH OF A GERMAN WOMAN TO BE PRECISE.

I'M WRITING A BOOK ABOUT HIM.

Sean: REALLY?

Dermot: YEAH. WELL, SORT OF.

TRYING.

THERE'S A STACK OF MATERIAL ABOUT HIM UPSTAIRS

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED.

Sean: NO, I'M -- I'M GRAND.

Dermot: SIT DOWN. SIT DOWN. SIT DOWN.

Sean: SO WHAT WAS THE STUPID THING YOU DID?

Dermot: EXCUSE ME?

Sean: YOU MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING REALLY STUPID.

WHY ELSE WOULD YOU LIVE AT THE ARSE END OF NOWHERE?

I TOLD YOU MY SECRET, SO IT'S -- IT'S ONLY FAIR.

Dermot: FAIR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING.

FINE.

I HAD AN AFFAIR WITH A STUDENT OF MINE.

WHEN SHE BECAME PREGNANT,

I THOUGHT IT BEST SHE GET RID OF IT.

INSTEAD, SHE HAD THE BABY

AND THEN SHE KILLED HERSELF.

Sean: BUT, UH, I'LL GO HELP UNLOAD.

Dermot: OH, THAT REMINDS ME.

YOUR PAY SO FAR.

Sean: THANKS.

Dermot: WAIT. AREN'T YOU GONNA CHECK IT?

Sean: NO, I, UH -- I TRUST YOU.

Dermot: MM. FAMOUS LAST WORDS.

Deirdre: WITHOUT YOU, I WOULD HAVE LOST IT.

I SWEAR.

YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY STARING AT ME

LIKE I WAS AN ANIMAL AT THE ZOO.

Dermot: WHY DIDN'T YA AT LEAST TELL YOUR MA ABOUT THE BABY?

Deirdre: SHE WOULD HAVE INSISTED ON ME COMING HOME.

YOU KNOW, I WASN'T READY.

Dermot: MM.

SHE'S TINY.

Deirdre: IT'S A HE.

HE'S JUST OVER 10 POUNDS.

Dermot: OH. H-HAS HE GOT A NAME?

Deirdre: NO. NOT YET.

I WAS KIND OF EXPECTING A GIRL.

Dermot: LISTEN, IF YOU NEED ANYTHING --

FOOD, TURF, STUFF FOR THE BABY --

-YOU LET ME KNOW. -Deirdre: YOU'RE TOO KIND.

Dermot: NO, I'M NOT.

Deirdre: ACTUALLY, THERE IS SOMETHING YOU COULD DO FOR ME.

Dermot: YEAH?

Deirdre: DO YOU MIND JUST HOLDING HIM.

I'LL BE A SEC. JUST MIND HIS NECK, OKAY?

-Dermot: MIND HIS NECK. OKAY. -Deirdre: GOT HIM?

Dermot: OH, I GOT HIM. YEAH.

Deirdre: I'LL BE ONE MINUTE.

Dermot: OKAY.

OOH.

HANG ON, THERE.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

RIGHT THERE. I GOTCHA.

Frank: WOULD YOU LIKE SOME BREAKFAST?

Abbey: I GOT TO GO.

Frank: WITHOUT EATING?

Abbey: WITHOUT EATING.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

Dermot: [ CHUCKLES ]

[ CHUCKLES ]

THEY'RE MADE CUTE

SO THAT WE CAN'T REJECT THEM LATER NO MATTER HOW MUCH

THEY JUST CRY, CRAP, AND PUKE.

Deirdre: YEAH.

NATURE'S PRETTY CLEVER THAT WAY, ISN'T IT?

Dermot: THERE YOU GO.

Deirdre: OKAY.

Dermot: YOU ALL RIGHT?

Deirdre: YEAH. I GOT HIM. THANKS.

-Dermot: OKAY. -Deirdre: THANKS.

Sean: MONEY.

Marge: OH. WHAT ON EARTH FOR?

Sean: RENT, FOOD --

YOU KNOW, I'M -- I'M OLD ENOUGH TO CONTRIBUTE NOW, SO.

Marge: SEAN, LISTEN, THIS IS NOT YOUR JOB.

YOUR JOB IS TO GO TO SCHOOL.

BUT THANKS.

Michael: I THINK I'M JUST ABOUT READY TO PACK IT IN.

Dermot: DON'T BE SUCH A LIGHTWEIGHT.

IF WE GIVE UP NOW, IT'LL ALL BE FOR NAUGHT.

Michael: THERE'S ALWAYS A FINE LINE BETWEEN TENACITY AND STUPIDITY,

BUT THIS TIME I'M PRETTY SURE WE'VE CROSSED IT.

Dermot: MICHAEL.

MICHAEL.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

Man: DINER SPECIAL? THE USUAL?

Dermot: NO. NOPE. I'M FINE.

JUST A COUPLE OF PINTS OF GUINNESS, PLEASE.

Liam: IS IT TRUE? FOUND A BODY?

Dermot: YEAH. WELL, SO FAR ONLY A HAND.

WE CAN'T UNCOVER IT COMPLETELY

UNTIL WE SECURE HER FOR PRESERVATION.

Man: WHAT MAKES YOU THINK IT'S A HER?

Dermot: I DON'T KNOW. THE SIZE, I GUESS.

I MEAN, TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, YOU'RE RIGHT.

WE DON'T KNOW YET.

Michael: WE NEED A BUNCH OF EQUIPMENT FROM THE MUSEUM,

HOPKIN NEEDS TO SIGN THE PAPERWORK,

THEN WE CAN BOOK A PALEOBIOLOGIST.

Liam: DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE DONE MESSING AROUND MY PLACE?

Dermot: MAYBE.

BY THE WAY,

HAVE YOU BEEN TO SEE DEIRDRE'S BABY YET?

Liam: NOT YET.

Dermot: YOU SHOULD.

I'D SAY HE'S GOT YOUR EYES.

Man: BUT, HEY, DIDN'T YOU FIND

THAT GIRL THAT WENT MISSING THERE A FEW YEARS BACK?

Woman: IT'S NOT HER. IT'S OLDER.

Man: HOW DO YOU KNOW?

Woman: I KNOW.

Man: TRUST HER.

SHE KNOWS...EVERYTHING.

Liam: MAYBE IT'S A SACRIFICE LIKE THE ONE IN BRETON.

Michael: LISTEN, THERE'S NO SIGN OF A RECENT BURIAL,

WHICH IS TO SAY THIS BODY'S AT LEAST 100 YEARS OLD.

Woman: TOLD YA.

Man: I KNOW.

Dermot: TO WHAT BEGINS TO BE.

Michael: TO WHAT BEGINS TO BE.

DERMOT, THIS IS JACK HOPKIN FROM THE NATIONAL MUSEUM.

JACK THIS IS DERMOT FAY.

WE USED TO TEACH TOGETHER AT TRINITY.

-Jack: PLEASED TO MEET YOU. -Dermot: HOW DO YOU DO?

Michael: DERMOT, CAN YOU START IN THAT TOP CORNER?

I'M LOOKING FOR AN APPROXIMATE ON THE HEAD.

ONCE WE'VE GOT THE PARAMETERS OF THE BODY,

WE CAN CUT OUT A SQUARE OF TURF AND MOVE IT IN SITU.

Dermot: I DON'T THINK WE'VE HAD THE PLEASURE.

Michael: I'M TERRIBLY SORRY, DERMOT.

THIS IS DAVID McGLYNN, THE PALEOBIOLOGIST.

DAVID THIS IS DERMOT FAY. WE USED TO --

David: I KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU. NICE TO FINALLY MEET YOU.

-David: SEE YOU LATER. -Michael: YEAH. YEAH.

Michael: DON'T YOU DARE.

WE HAVEN'T ALL GOT ONE-TRACK MINDS LIKE YOU, YOU KNOW.

-Dermot: IS THAT RIGHT? -Michael: YES, THAT'S RIGHT.

Dermot: I MIGHT GO BACK TO DUBLIN.

Michael: WHY?

Dermot: I'M AS LOST HERE AS I WOULD BE THERE.

IT'D MAKE THINGS A LOT EASIER FOR ABBEY.

AND CHECK HER OUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN SHE'S ALL CLEANED UP.

Dermot: AH. MAYBE SOMEDAY I'LL TAKE YA.

Sean: SO, UH, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BABY?

Dermot: WHAT BABY?

Sean: YOU KNOW THE ONE YOU HAD WITH THE STUDENT OF YOURS.

YOU KNOW, DERMOT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS

THAT'S KEEPING YOU FROM GOING BACK TO DUBLIN,

BUT WHATEVER IT IS,

IT'S NOT WORTH RUINING THE REST OF YOUR LIFE FOR.

Dermot: [ CHUCKLES ]

HIS NAME IS RORY.

THAT'S ABOUT ALL I KNOW.

SOPHIE PUT HIM UP FOR ADOPTION,

SO FOR ALL I KNOW, HE'S NOT EVEN RORY ANYMORE.

Sean: AND DO YOU MISS HIM?

Dermot: CAN YOU MISS SOMEONE YOU'VE NEVER MET?

Sean: SORT OF LIKE MY DAD.
