"My husband not cold in his grave." "It's a year now." "He should be cool enough." "I've brought your fan mail." "File it in the usual place." "Whip it out, Patsy." "Sorry, Tony." "United States of America, Patsy." "You could've checked." "l'm not a scholar." "Oh, Jesus." "What is it, Tony?" "Karen is dead." "For God's sake, Karen!" "God, that was some match." "It was indeed." "The game has slowed up since your day, Joe." "I've slowed up myself." "Brady!" "I want you to give everybody whatever they're having." "Have you come into money?" "I got a letter a couple of days ago from my sister Karen." "Her first letter in 20 years." "And it was written on her death bed." "Hear what I'm saying, Brady?" "Karen is dead." "I heard you.." "God be good to her." "is that all you have to say after what you did to her?" "My conscience is clear." "You have a conscience, do you?" "Sure she wasn't long forgetting you anyway, Joe." "I'm going down now to meet her son off the ferry." "He's coming to stay with me!" "Well... I hope you treat him better than his mother." "You all knew Karen." "I'd like you to drink to her memory, and to my nephew from America." "Peter... turn off the telly." "It's good to see you, Chad." "Are you some kind of pervert?" "You're not from New York?" "No, I'm from Paris, France." "Mind your tongue, you pup, ya!" "Shag off, you old bollocks!" "Tony Egan?" "Uncle Tony." "Chad?" "Yeah." "You're... a bit darker than I expected." "Let's go."

"Up there beside your uncle." "What about you?" "I'll ride up front." "Hiya." "Hey." "Who is that?" "He was looking at you.." "And why wouldn't he?" "Be careful now." "I hope that's a hand you can do without." "You're getting soft, Groucheen." "l'll be off soon." "Good night, Patsy." "l get the warmest room." "lt's Karen's room." "Have you eaten?" "l had a little lunch." "Good." "Sleep is what you want." "Yeah." "Good night." "When are you gonna come down?" "When are you going to land?" "I should have stayed on the farm." "should have listened to my old man." "I know you can't hold me forever." "I didn't sign up with you." "I'm not a present for your friends to open." "This boy's too young to be singing the blues." "So goodbye yellow brick road... where the dogs of society hound." "You can't plant me in your penthouse." "I'm going back to my plough." "Hello, mom." "Back to the howling old owl in the woods... hunting that horny black toad." "I've finally found where my future lies..." "Beyond the yellow brick road." "What do you think you'II do then?" "bet they shoot down your plane." "Perhaps it is unfair to come back into your life... just as mine is ending." "But I have no other choice, Tony." "I hope you can be the family for him... you could never be for me." "Damn!" "Uncle Tony, are you in there?" "Who else would be in here?" "Don't be long." "We've got work to do before Mass." "I thought Sunday was a day of rest." "Tell that to the cattle." "You need a pair of boots." "No, thanks." "These are cool." "Grab a bale." "Good morning to you." "Hold on to that." "You'll be needing it." "Tony." "This isn't why I came here." "You're not afraid of a bit of work, are you?" "No!" "I warned you." "You need a pair of boots." "Jesus, Karen." "You were always one for surprises." "That's drinking water for the cattle." "Better get a move on , or we'll be late for Mass." "The souls of the departed are at the mercy of God." "Amen."

"You don't know anything?" "Nothing?" "Karen's letter just said he died some time ago." "Yeah, they married about... 2 years before they had me and... we owned a little bodega in Hell's Kitchen." "It's a little store." "He was shot when I was 10." "America must be a violent place." "And Ireland isn't?" "After Dad died, Mom ran the store alone." "Karen?" "Can't imagine that." "Mom was mad Irish crazy." "Everybody loved her." ""O's Delight", 3 o'clock, Pontious Town." ""Jack's Affliction"." "4 o'clock, Leicester." "Aye." "Wait until you see these." "Where did you get them?" "l sent away for them." "They're real biker boots." "Wow!" "Isn't that a grand sight!" "Jesus!" "Oh, 'tis wonderful!" "Steady, fellas." "Think of the blood pressure." "Give the lads a heart attack." "At least they'll die smiling." "Tell us, ladies." "What's your opinion of Tony Egan's nephew?" "He's okay." "Okay?" "He's gorgeous!" "Peter,... put the Guinness away." "That the best you could do?" "Forgot to pack my suit." "How do you get your hair like that?" "Twist it, don't comb it." "Do you think it would suit me?" "Might change your life, Patsy." "Who died?" "Lucky Mick Mullane." "The most unfortunate man that ever lived." "lf he had ducks, they'd drown." "He won a 1000 pound last Thursday." "The shock killed him." "It's not laughing matter." "Come on , show a bit of respect." "I'm sorry for your trouble, Bridie." "God rest his soul." "Thanks." "Who are you?" "This is Chad." "Karen's boy from America." "Did he say Karen's boy?" "Yes, mother." "Thank you for coming." "I was so sorry to hear about your mother." "God rest her soul." "The church doors are always open to you, Chad." "Thank you, Father." "Mary, is he a...?" "Mother!" "It's the nephew." "And what does a man of your complexion, like to be called?" "Chad." "Chad." "Welcome to lnishdaragh, Chad." "I'm Brenda O'Boyce." "Your mother was my best friend." "Really?" "It's nice to meet you." "You must come over for a visit when you find your feet." "Joe, did you meet Chad?" "Tony's nephew." "How are you doing?" "Welcome, Chad." "Go and pay your respects to Lucky Mick." "Yes, sir." "l'll take you up on that offer." "You do that." "is he staying long?" "is he staying long?" "As long as he likes." "He's definitely Karen's boy." "He has her smile." "Hail Mary full of grace," "The Lord is with thee..." "You see a dead man kick a field goal and I scare you." "Mr. Mullane's bad leg I'm used to, you I'm not." "Okay. I'm Chad." "Chad Egan Washington." "Aislin Brady." "Aislin." "It's nice to meet you." "Don't mind me." "Rachel, this is..." "l know, Chad's a celebrity" "For real?" "You're the talk of the town." "l love your accent, it's so..." "American." "Aislin." "Your dad's is looking for you." "Have you meet Chad?" "Chad, this is Peter O'Boyce." "Welcome to lnishdaragh." "Thanks." "Nice meeting you, Chad." "It's nice meeting you, guys, I'll see you around?" "Are you coming, Rachel?" "What's the hurry?" "Ma, can we have some crisps?" "Go and get some." "Excuse me." "Chad." "Nice to meet you." "Chad." "He was always a great man to sing a song at a wake." "Who was?" "Lucky Mick." "I was thinking, be an awful pity... no-one sang at this." "I'll sing." "We couldn't ask you, Patsy." "lt'll be no bother to me." "But it wouldn't right." "it would be breaking the tradition." "What tradition s that?" "That the first man to sing at a wake... has to be the last man to come to the island." "I never heard that." "It goes back hundreds of years." "Surprised you didn't know that, Patsy." "So now!" "Bit of hush for Chad." "It is the tradition." "You won't escape." "Up you get there now." "That's it." "Chad, you don't have to." "Everybody, give the Yank a chance, so hush." "Sorry." "Return..." "Return, my love. and don't leave me." "Return, my treasure.,... the beat of my heart... and you will see glory... if you return." "I travel... all over the world,... to the land of... young Queen Grainne... where I was born... and never saw so strange... as the minister O'DonaiII... now Protestant." "Return, return, my love." "Return, my love... and don't leave me." "If you return today... or forever,... order returns to... where you were born." "Return,... return, my love." "Terrific singing!" "Good man yourself!" "Well done." "Who taught you that?" "You may find it hard to believe, but I'm Irish." "There you go , Chad." "Well done." "Thank you." "It might have been herself singing." "It was great." "That was wonderful, Chad." "I was keeping up tradition." "You didn't believe them, did you?" "You fairly showed them." "Have you seen much of the island?" "A farm, a dumper and a dead guy." "What else is there?" "l could show you." "Come by the hotel tomorrow at one o'clock." "Cool!" "I'll be there." "I'm looking forward to it." "Yeah, me too." "Aislin!" "Yeah?" "Get your coat." "I saw you talking to Joe Brady's girl." "She's not someone you need to know." "Why's that?" "Patsy!" "is he dead?" "Dead drunk." "Any other channels?" "You can see a lot in a turf-fire, if you look long enough." "Work the days and sleep the nights." "You could never run a farm the size of this... if you spend time watching "Bonanza"." "I've never been to a house without a TV." "Back home we had 99 channels." "What would be on 99 channels?" "MTV, ESPN, HBO." "Sports, news." "Mom loved the movie channels." "She'd watch television all night if you let her." "That's why I got rid of it." "She was falling behind at school." "If it's entertainment you want... try your hand at that fella." "Good night, now." "Groucheen." "Night, mom." "Am I late?" "No." "Come on." "What's the rush?" "Afraid to be seen with me?" "No. I'm meant to be in school." "You're playing hookey." "Here they call it michin'." "Michin'." "Yeah." "That's some waterfall!" "Actually, that's a cascade." "What's the difference?" "The way the water runs over the rocks." "The way the water runs over the rocks?" "Are you meant to be working?" "Yeah, building fences." "That's a first for me." "Even from the Empire State Building you can't see this far." "I'd love to go to New York." "Nobody cares what you do." "l guess.." "Here, everything is news." "Nobody is in my business" "They are." "It's a little island." "People talk." "You wouldn't understand." "Understand?" "There are more Irish on my block than on this island.." "Not lnishdaragh Irish." "No, there was just one." "All right, Peter." "Hello, Tony." "Have you seen Chad?" "Not since last night." "Did you hear how he sang?" "Like hearing Karen again." "Singing is all very fine." "I left him fencing this morning." "Now he's after shagging off on me." "Don't rub your head at me." "He's a young lad." "Needs company of his own age." "Bloody irresponsible!" "There's another fella wants watching." "It's a father he needs." "I'll see you, Brenda." "Let's go!" "Why?" "There's Aislin and the American." "What do you two monkeys want?" "To meet the American." "Chad, I'm Conor." "Conor, nice to meet you." "And I'm Dermot." "Dermot." "Right, get lost." "Who'll make us?" "I'm gonna make you." "Go!" "See you, Chad." "See you later." "Who are they?" "Brenda's kids from the Post Office." "Now the whole town's gonna know we've been together." "Brenda, I'll not be around forever." "You'll miss the last boat." "There's room for two." "Sean, do you never give up?" "Hi, Joe." "How are you doing, Sean?" "Hello, Joe." "Hi, Brenda." "Anyone seen Aislin?" "No." "Huh?" "No." "Give us 10 players." "She's not back from school." "What's on your mind, Joe?" "The boy is on my mind." "He brought it all back." "I thought after all these years... I know." "It's like Karen's come home." "This cromlech is one of the oldest things on the island." "This what?" "Cromlech." "Like an ancient tomb, full of souls and bones." "What brought you here, Chad?" "My mom... she wanted us to come." "So, here I am." "What about your mom?" "She died when I was 8." "Shit!" "There's dad!" "What...?" "lf he sees us together, I'm dead." "Why?" "My father and your uncle hate each other." "What happened?" "Ask your uncle." "Whatever it is, its between them, not us." "Did I make you mad?" "No, I've got to get home." "What are you doing later?" "You'll laugh at me." "Why would I?" "l have to go to Confession." "For real?" "Once a week." "So... have you been sinning?" "I've been thinking about it." "Maybe I ought to go too, if thinking about sinning... is sinning." "Can I walk you home?" "Cool!" "is he down there?" "Mister Brady!" "How long have you had dreads?" "Actually,... they're called locks, not dreads." "What's the difference?" "It's the way the water goes over the rocks." "A few years." "What did your mum and dad think?" "My mom loved them, but my dead never saw them." "He died when I was young." "Sorry." "No, it's okay." "It's okay." "He would've thought they were great." "He had locks when he met mom." "Really?" "He shaved his head the day I was born." "Said it was a new beginning." "I wish my dad'd shave his head." "Give me your hand." "Okay." "Well, thanks for the tour." "Any time." "l have to go home now." "Yeah, I'm going." "Maybe I'll meet you at Confession." "Father said I was welcome." "I've really got to go." "Peace out." "Aislin!" "Where have you been?" "l had things to do." "Like what?" "Show Chad the island." "And you never told me?" "I've just told you." "Did you kiss him?" "You kissed him!" "Rachel, stop shouting!" "What else did you do?" "Come on, tell me!" "He drew my portrait." "That's it?" "He's a great artist." "He has beautiful hands." "I bet that isn't all he has that's beautiful." "You're disgusting." "Aislin, what about Peter?" "Where are you from in Spain?" "Near Valencia." "What's Seville like?" "Lovely place." "Always heard wonderful things about Seville." "And will you ever turn on the game?" "Peter, turn on the match." "Now that's more civilised." "Where were you?" "Looking round the island." "You broke your word." "I was gonna finish the fences when I got back." "Who were you with?" "Aislin Brady." "I said not to see her." "This sneaking around has to stop." "Just like your mother." "What's mom got to do with this?" "I couldn't rely on her,... and now I can't rely on you." "This is about Joe Brady, isn't it?" "Why won't you tell me?" "I want to talk to you." "Where were you today?" "No place." "Were you with Chad?" "Since when do you care?" "l've always cared." "When the bar's closed and the tourists have gone home." "That's enough." "But they don't count, do they?" "Enough!" "l saw you at the beach today." "We're talking about Chad." "This isn't about Chad, it's about Karen." "I don't want you to see the boy." "As simple as that." "You don't have to wash that one up." "Hello, Tony." "Twice in one day." "What's the matter?" "is it Chad?" "He's worse than Karen." "He'd cause mutiny in Hell." "He's spending time with Brady's girl.." "There's no harm there." "He keeps asking about the past." "Why don't you tell him." "lt doesn't concern him." "Of course it concerns him." "It was before he was born." "He doesn't belong here." "Tony, there's nothing left for him." "You're all he's got." "Try talking to him." "Mary Kenny." "A decade of the rosary couldn't save her." "No bad thoughts now." "You first, Chad." "Aislin needs time to work on her confession." "Father O'Malley loves a bit of scandal." "Father O'Malley?" "is that yourself, Chad?" "Yeah." "How long is it since your last confession." "I didn't come for confession." "So, what can I do for you?" "Tell me what happened between my uncle and Joe Brady?" "There's been bad blood between them for years." "Over what?" "Now, I know it has to do with my mom." "Have you talked to your uncle?" "He won't talk about it." "You'll have to be patient, Chad." "Your uncle is a difficult man." "You'll have to meet him half way." "But what was so wrong?" "Sex before marriage is a mortal sin, Chad." "That's all I'll say." "Thank you, Father." "Two Hail Marys and..." "He couldn't help me." "That bad?" "Old country like this, you'd think all the fields would be cleared." "Takes generations to clear a farm the size of this." "Yeah, it's a lot of work." "Uncle Tony." "If it takes generations, why didn't you have a family?" "No time for that." "What happened with you and mom?" "Why'd she leave?" "She was let down." "How?" "Joe Brady." "So, what happened?" "They were keeping company." "I tried to stop them." "Why?" "She was far too young for him." "He had her mesmerised." "So what did you do?" "I told her I'd send her to boarding school." "Wasn't that a little heavy?" "Our parents were dead." "She was my responsibility." "But she listened to nobody." "One day a gang of us were up on the cliffs... and I saw them... together." "I was never as near to killing a man." "What were they doing?" "I've said enough." "Hold it." "Uncle Tony." "Jesus, Peter, you scared me!" "Aislin, I need to talk to you." "The town is talking." "What else is new?" "About you and the African." "American is what he is and it's none of their business." "In America, a nigger is what he is." "And here, you're a bastard!" "What's got into you?" "l'm going now." "I always tried to treat you nice." "Maybe that's why I went wrong." "That's not what you wanted." "Stop it, Peter!" "Maybe you're not so nice with him!" "That's what they're saying." "lt's nothing like that!" "You wouldn't understand." "I never could talk to you." "I don't know who he is,... but I think you do." "Who is he... and what is he to you?" "I had something in my heart... and in your eyes." "Soft day!" "No sign of it stopping, either." "Patsy, get me some tobacco?" "Can I go?" "If you like." "Looks like it might stop yet." "l don't know." "What are you listening to?" "What?" "Who are you listening to?" ""Above the Law"." "Can I listen?" "Sure." "Rap!" "They got nice beats." "What?" "They got good beats!" "What's "beats"?" "You know, the beats." "Oh, yeah." "Watch out for him!" "Want anything in Brenda's?" "No, I'm gonna be in Brady's for a sec." "Hey." "Hey yourself." "What brings you to town?" "I was looking for Aislin." "She's on the mainland." "Nothing personal. I'd rather you didn't see her." "If it's not personal, then what is it?" "It's wiser you don't become friends with my daughter." "Why not?" "Weren't you friends with my mom?" "l have a pub to open." "Why didn't you keep in touch?" "I didn't know where she was." "No one did." "She didn't call or write?" "Not to me." "That doesn't sound like mom." "Look,..." "Aislin's not here." "Yo, brother, what's up?" "What's up, fellas?" "Where've you been?" "Clearing a new field." "Bet you were with Aislin." "Why?" "Are you jealous?" "You must be joking." "You gonna be here when she gets back?" "What else are we going to do here?" "I don't know." "But listen." "Will you do me a favour?" "Give this to her for me?" "All right?" "Make sure she gets this 'cause it's very important." "Come on, Chad!" "Peace out!" "See the hanky on his head?" "Yeah, it was cool." "I've got one for you." "As I was going over the Cork and Kerry mountains,... I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting." "I produced my pistol and rapier, saying:" "Stand, deliver for your armour bold deceiver." "Whisky in the jar." "He counted out his money and it made a pretty penny." "I put it in my pocket and I gave it home to Jenny." "She sighed and she swore she never would deceive me... but the devil take the women for they never can be easy." "Whisky in the jar." "I went into my chamber for to take a slumber." "I dreamt of gold and jewels and sure it was no wonder." "But Jenny took my pistol and filled it up with water." "Sent for Captain Farrell, ready for the slaughter." "Whisky in the jar." "Watch out!" ""Whisky in the Jar"." "What do you think, Chad?" "Where did you learn that?" "MTV in Brady's bar." "They've the satellite dish." "Yo, MTV raps." "Underpants above their navels and trousers down around their waists." "That's the baggy look." "It's purpose, man." "l don't get that at all." "More comfortable with baggy pants." "lt's cool, keeps you comfortable." "Looks stupid to me." "Calvin Klein, all that." "Have to have warm weather." "ln summer you go to Calvin's." "Does he have a pool?" "He'd be freezing here." "He should have come around again by now." "It's his uncle." "He watches him like a hawk." "You should make the next move." "Maybe I already have." "Aislin, we've got something for you from Chad!" "You two bump your heads?" "It's an American thing." "Peace out!" "Aren't you gonna open it?" "Of course I'm gonna open it." "Inis DARA lighthouse" "friday" "LUNCH" "AlSLlN" "Can you do without me for the rest of the day?" "You look up to no good." "No, I'm meeting Aislin." "You're a glutton for punishment." "There's more to life than shifting rocks." "If you see Bridie's daughter, tell her I was asking for her." "You dog!" "Hi." "You're the first person I've brought here." "lf they find out, I'm dead." "Forget them." "I wish I could." "Aislin, I don't get this place." "What, the lighthouse?" "No, lnishdaragh." "Why?" "Look at it. lt's beautiful." "And then you got people like my uncle." "First I thought it was my color, and I can handle that..." "No, it wouldn't be that." "Right, it's about family." "What do you mean?" "I come here from New York, thinking I got family, a connection." "He's been living alone so long... he doesn't know what that is." "ls it really that bad?" "lt's how I see it." "Your drawing was beautiful." "l draw what I see." "l'd like to see more." "They're all back at the house." "is your uncle Tony there?" "No, probably working on the front field." "Let's take the back road." "Cool." "Can I shift it?" "No, I can do this." "This is my side of the car." "Americans...we're not gonna crash." "You know, I'm sorry." "I was, back there, you know." "lt's not about you." "l know." "For 1 7 years, I was who I was... because of my mom and dad." "And for the last 2 years, I spent time between the hospital... and the store, and it's like... that became my purpose." "And now everything's gone, I don't know who I am." "You're the same person." "They didn't choose to leave you." "l know that, but I don't." "You know?" "You have no other family?" "No." "My mom and dad had each other,... and that was enough for them." "What about you?" "What's up with your dad?" "When mom got sick, I spent every minute with her." "My dad seemed to drift away." "He's never really come back." "Well,... you got me." "I got you." "Aislin, I've decided I... I want them off my head." "How can you cut your hair?" "There's a time for everything." "Yea, but you've taken years to grow them." "That was another life." "Will you help me cut 'em?" "I want them off my head." "Okay." "Okay." "...clipped wings I know." "Wonders in darkness." "On grimy ground... in a forest, unclean, unsound." "Everything's gone wild." "Make land for the cows to graze." "Leaflets scattered To Advertise:" "sell out..." "sell out..." "In a swamp in it... hands stretched out... to catch a passing dime." "Donations to the rich." "What do you think?" "Widened pavements for the poor." "Somewhere else to lie." "But, my friend, the carriage door... stands slightly ajar." "And I know clipped wings... make uneasy flight." "I'm serious." "That's what he said." "Amazing." "Brilliant." "Was that for my benefit?" "No, mine." "Are you crazy?" "Behaving like a slut in front of the whole town." "Stay out of it, and grow up." "Where's Chad?" "Not sure." "You let him go before finishing?" "Nothing I couldn't do myself." "Long as he's staying here, he can help out!" "He does his fair share." "That's not why he's here." "Are the calves fed?" "Not yet." "Then get on with it." "That's why you're here." "Where's your hair?" "I cut it." "is that where you were, with her?" "Why can't you do what you're told?" "This how you drove mom away?" "Who said I drove her away?" "Did you keep her from coming back?" "She was my sister." "She was very dear to me." "Out of your life for 20 years." "How dear was that?" "When were you going to tell me about my sister's ashes?" "When are you going to tell me about my mother's letters?" "What letters?" "The ones you kept from Joe." "You shouldn't have come here." "Chad." "Chad!" "Look at you!" "Like a baby's bum." "ls it?" "Fancy a game of pool?" "Yeah." "Been spending a lot of time with Aislin, haven't you?" "A little." "You know,..." "Peter has a thing for Aislin." "And you have a thing for Peter?" "I've always gone for complex men... and Peter is extremely complex." "Do you think so?" "Runs in the family." "What do you mean?" "Do you not know?" "Know what?" "Know about..." "Brenda and your uncle." "Look, it's my boys." "What do you think?" "Holy Divine God!" "What do you think, ma?" "Who did that to you?" "Don't look at me." "Get home, you two!" "Brenda, can I take you up on your offer?" "What?" "You want to drop in?" "Yeah, whenever." "Come on, now." "Cool?" "." "Thanks, Rachel." "See you, Chad." "You two, upstairs." "Mam!" "Go on, or I'll warm your backsides for you." "Come on, Chad." "Oh, right" "There you are." "Thanks." "What's he doing here?" "He's having tea." "Like to join us?" "No." "Get down, mam'll see you!" "The bag." "Mom wrote to Joe from New York." "I found the letters at Uncle Tony's." "And they didn't say anything about... why did mom leave?" "She left... because she thought she had no other choice." "They were in love, right?" "Yes,..." "They were inseparable." "When's the last time you talked to her?" "About a year after she left." "She sounded so lonely." "She hadn't heard from Joe." "I think she'd stopped hoping." "Did mom know about you and Uncle Tony?" "Tony and I were always fond of each other." "She knew that." "But after she left, I... we... got much closer." "When she called, I told her." "She didn't say, but I think she felt betrayed." "We never spoke again." "How come you and Uncle Tony didn't get married?" "He never asked me." "Tony had no interest in having a family." "He was too caught up... in the responsibility of the farm." "Don't I know it." "What's this, lads?" "lt was your idea." "No, it was yours." "Should've minded your own business." "It was you who told me." "This is trouble." "Mega trouble!" "I thought you might like to see how your boyfriend sees you." "Where did you get this?" "Seems I was right, then." "What have you got there, Peter?" "Come on, let's have a look." "I can't believe this." "Were you with Egan's nephew?" "Not like that." "In that house?" "In that bed?" "l'd ask how you knew that bed?" "What are you saying?" "You've been in it." "Very cute." "I think you better leave." "is Peter Uncle Tony's son?" "I married Paddy O'Boyce after I found out." "What did Uncle Tony do?" "He thought Paddy would be a good father for Peter." "Hey, Joe." "What can I do for you?" "Where's Chad?" "He's not here." "What do you want him for?" "You explain this to me." "Not a nice feeling, is it, Joe?" "No, it's not." "Tell your nephew I want a word with him." "Night, Chad." "Good night." "Bye." "Bastard!" "You bastard!" "l don't want to hurt you!" "Nothing you can do can hurt me." "You're everywhere!" "Even inside my house!" "Shut up!" "Why are we fighting anyway?" "We're family." "Whether you like it or not, we're family." "We are." "We through?" "We're through." "Can we talk?" "About what?" "Did you sleep with him?" "That's none of your business." "While you're under my roof, it is." "What do you know about him?" "What do you care?" "I mean it." "Why is he here?" "Tell me that." "Because he loves his mother." "And what will you do when he leaves?" "And he will leave." "Some day I'm gonna leave too." "There's more to life than lnishdaragh and Brady's." "Haven't I given everything you've always want here?" "lt's your way of not feeling guilty." "Guilty?" "Guilty about what?" "Of never loving me." "No, that's not true." "Don't say that." "Don't say that." "Karen's not coming back, Dad." "That was a long time ago." "But you can't let go." "Hiya." "Hi." "Have you been in a fight?" "It wasn't much." "You went after Chad, didn't you?" "." "Yeah." "Think that'll make her like you?" "lt wasn't about that, okay?" "I'll walk you home." "It's all right." "I know the way." "Wait." "Rachel!" "Rachel!" "I hope you're proud." "Proud of what?" "Of disgracing me." "Disgracing your family." "Disgracing...you?" "Jesus, you've been fighting, too." "I knew... that you were trouble." "There was trouble long before I got here." "You did a filthy drawing." "The whole town has seen it." "I'm trying to figure you out." "Sometimes you're okay, but mostly you are just cold." "l'm not listening to you." "No, you're gonna listen." "I talked to Brenda tonight." "Oh yeah, Uncle Tony." "She told me about mom." "She brought shame on this family, and now you're doing the same." "Hypocrite!" "She wasn't doing anything you weren't." "You talk about family?" "There's no family here!" "You got a son living 5 miles away that you don't acknowledge!" "Get out of this house!" "l'm out!" "I'm out!" "Aislin." "Hey, Aislin." "Come down." "What happened?" "l'm out of here." "Was it Peter?" "lt's not about Peter." "I just can't stay here." "When will you go?" "Tomorrow." "I just came to say good bye, and... I'm sorry for any trouble I may have caused..." "lt was the drawing, wasn't it?" "lt's part of it." "It was a beautiful drawing." "I remember having more clothes on, but..." "The boat leaves at 8." "See you on the pier." "Yeah." "Jesus, Karen." "You always had to... have the last word." "I hear your voice... on the wind." "I heard you... call out my name." ""Listen, my child", you say to me." ""I am the voice of your history." "Be not afraid, come follow me." "Answer my call and I'II set you free"." ""I am the voice of the wind and the pouring rain"." ""I am the voice of your hunger and pain." "I am the voice that always is calling you." "I am the voice ." "I will remain." "I am the voice in the fields when the summer's gone." "The dance of the leaves when the autumn winds blow." "Ne'er do I sleep the cold winter long."" "It's a beautiful morning, mom." "And I... brought you back, just like I promised." "But, now... I don't think this is the place for you, you know?" "No... I'm not sure where we'll end up." "But any place is better than this." "Looks like you're leaving." "Yeah." "This ain't my island." "I got something that belongs to you." "Where did you get these?" "That doesn't matter." "At least you know she tried." "Dear, Joe." "I have waited for months to hear from you." "I'm interpreting your silence to mean things have changed." "Oh, Jesus!" "She was going to have my baby." "Tony went crazy." "He said he was gonna see me put in jail." "For what?" "Karen was underage." "I was at college in Dublin." "We were going to get married." "But... she got ill and the baby died." "Where did you get these?" "You don't have to answer that." "What happened between you and Aislin?" "We became friends." "ls that all?" "You don't believe me?" "If I'd known that leaving Inishdaragh... meant we could never be together again..." "I would have stayed in ireland and endured the consequences." "I realise now that I had no other choice than to get on with my Iife." "Just as I presume you have." "I must move on." "Why did you have to tell him?" "About us." "Because he asked." "I just got these letters." "From someone I loved." "Someone who loved me." "10 or 20 years too late." "Now can anyone tell me why?" "It was you." "Or was it the two of you?" "She knew nothing." "l took them." "Christ!" "l watched and took them." "Why did you do that?" "You ruined her life." "You little shit!" "It was her life." "Ours!" "But you... wanted to live it for her, didn't you?" "Joe!" "Joe, don't!" "We've all done things we shouldn't have." "You know the difference between you and me, Tony?" "I loved Karen." "And you have never loved anybody." "And now you've driven Chad away." "Just like you drove his mother." "You saw him?" "He's up on the hill with his pack." "Look at you." "Strange how they all leave you." "Begad, he didn't go far." "I saw him down at the pier with Aislin." "Shite!" "You can't let him go, Tony." "You've missed so many chances." "You and Karen, you and me." "lt's too late for talk like that now." "Water under the bridge." "is it?" "Go and bring him back." "Go on." "I'm coming with you." "No, this is the best place to say goodbye." "I don't want to say goodbye." "I want to come with you." "You know,... you can't because I don't know where l'm going." "New York sounds good to me." "You cannot leave this way." "You are." "There's nothing for me here.." "And what's here for me?" "I don't want to lose you." "You think I want to lose you?" "My mom... used to say:" ""What's for you... will never go by you."" "In case of loving unreturned... unrequited fingers burned..." "Don't blame yourself at all." "There is no blame, there is no crime." "This madness happens all the time." "Nothing there to break your fall." "I understand how hard it's been." "I've been there too... and I have seen what running after love can do." "That feeling deep down in your soul." "The searing, empty, gaping hole... has dug a hole in my Iife, too." "My darling, my darling,..." "So crazy, so charming." "It's just that it happened too soon." "Then I send you my wishes, my hugs and my kisses." "Whisper a prayer..." "Come here. I'm sorry." "He's leaving." "I'm sorry. I'm so very sorry." "For God's sakes, Brady!" "He'll never make it in time." "Please, Joe." "Get in the car!" "You'll never make it in that!" "My darling, my darling, So crazy, so charming." "It's just that it happened too soon." "Then I send you my wishes, my hugs and my kisses." "Whisper a prayer..." "Chad!" "Chad!" "Chad!" "I'm sorry!" "I was wrong!" "You can't go like this!" "Give me a second chance." "I was your second chance." "I know that now." "Chad, please!" "Thanks."
