You don't even look like me.

LIGHT MUSIC

Do you have any proof?

Proof?

How do I know you're telling the truth?

Yeah. Uh, well... I have this.

That's your mum, right?

Yeah.

LAUGHS

Johnny Bollix?

That's the guy who got your mum knocked up in 1983.

His name was Johnny Bollix?

No, his name is Nigel.

That was his stage name.

He was a, a musician, um, oh, here.

That's him.

And... could that be your mum?

Sh...

She was a groupie?

Yeah. Certainly was.

How did you find all this? Did your, did your dad...?

Oh, no, he's dead.

No, my folks, my adopted folks,

they gave me all the info they had.

And they actually encouraged me to write, but...

well, your mum never... wrote back.

But what is it you think I can do for you here, Daryl?

I was hoping that you could introduce me to my mum.

Our mum.

Oh, my God. Okay. Uh...

CLEARS THROAT

No, that is not a good idea.

Well, it's just 'cause I don't want to ambush her.

I can't be involved in this. I'm sorry.

Honestly, all I'm asking is...

Listen, Bernie and I have a complicated relationship.

Okay? Deeply complicated. Deeply.

Yeah, I know. Yeah. Crazy fucking complicated.

You know? Well, yeah,

I was in the meetings. Remember?

UPBEAT MUSIC

You talk about her a lot.

Yeah.

MEN CHATTERING

They're never gonna get that in there.

Turn it on its side.

Oh, the new sofa bed's here.

Love it.

Gonna kip at hers tonight.

I thought she bought a sofa bed last week?

The colour clashed with the paint work.

What? So, what? She sent it back?

Gave it to Auntie Rita, I think.

What? You mean she didn't even get a refund?

Why are you getting your G-string in a twist?

Do you know how much rent she pays?

It's literally my job to know.

Yeah, but she's gonna run out of money.

But it's her money. Yeah, but Ant...

I thought the whole point of divorce was that you don't

have to care what the other person does, like, ever again.

Yeah, well, I worry about her.

Then why the fuck didn't you stay married to her?

Morning. Morning, love.

How did you sleep? Great, actually.

Poor Caroline was up all night. Mwah.

So I heard.

We... we need to call the lactation consultant.

Again? I think she was a little annoyed last time.

I don't think he's latching properly today.

He might be starving. He... he looks gaunt.

What? Don't you think he looks gaunt?

He looks fine.

Here.

Oh, my goodness.

I think he looks like a happy, healthy boy.

I don't get all this fuss about latching.

It's the most natural thing in the world.

Sure, monkeys do it. They don't have midwives.

Actually, it's quite a common issue.

Well, Rory had no problem.

Clamped right on at the sight of my nipple.

He'd probably still be sucking away now

if he could get away with it. Gross.

I'm gonna take him upstairs. Try again.

But why don't you have a little rest?

I can give him some expressed milk.

I haven't expressed any milk.

Why not just give him some formula?

Formula?

Is it really gonna cause that...

I'm not giving my baby formula

after only a few weeks of breastfeeding!

What about his microbiome?

What about his mental health?

His mental health?

If monkeys can do it, so can I.

I just haven't tried hard enough, clearly.

No...

Ahh.

You've the patience of a saint.

UPBEAT MUSIC

Listen, Daryl, I'm sorry.

I know this is a shock.

Finding out your mum,

who you've known your entire life,

has a secret kid. Well, actually, that feels

like just the sort of thing Bernie would do.

Right.

Look, I'm just trying to have

a healthier relationship with my family.

And that involves not...

being involved with my family too much.

Mm-hmm. This...

this complicates things.

Yeah, look, I get it.

It's... okay.

WHISPERS: Okay.

It's just my mum died last year.

My adopted mum.

Uh, we were close. Sorry.

And my dad's been gone a decade.

And I've got a brother who lives in Perth,

but we're not...

you know.

Yeah, I don't really feel like I have

I have a family any more.

And look, maybe you're right.

M... maybe your mum will just turn out

to be a big fucking disappointment.

I mean, some of the things that you've said about her.

I didn't say them about her.

I mean, I said them about her privately.

Yeah. In a, in a private...

public meeting that was... private.

Yeah.

Look...

just 'cause I don't want to get involved

with you and Bernie doesn't mean

you and I can't hang out...

while you're here, if you want.

How's tonight? Oh, eh, no, I, I can't.

Uh, I have a family...

Yeah, well, I don't want to boast, but yeah.

Last time I saw you, you were living in a shed.

What's he doing here?

Oh, did Dearbhla not tell you?

GLASS CLINKING

As most of you are aware,

our international artist in residence

was supposed to be Sandrine Horvst.

Sadly, an unfortunate horse riding event

two days ago, has kept her in Copenhagen

and a neck brace.

But happily, Jack Corcoran,

knight in shining armour,

has stepped in last minute.

APPLAUSE

We are beyond thrilled that an artist

of his calibre will be inspiring our students,

while creating a new exhibition

for our very own O'Reilly Studio

entitled Toxic Masculinity and Taboo.

You're fucking joking me.

Jack, a few words.

Alright, I don't want to keep everyone,

to be honest with you, I'm not a big fan of institutions.

I've been thrown out of a few.

But when Dearbhla said it was an emergency,

I thought, fuck it.

Art comes first, huh?

And whatever about college and degrees and all that bullshit,

what I'm excited for is connecting

with the next generation of artists

while also making work about a subject

that's pretty close to my heart.

Toxic masculinity.

Have you a problem with that? No. No, no, no.

I'm aware it's a confronting subject.

I've been a toxic man.

You've been a toxic man.

We've all been toxic men.

But if we don't own that,

and really look at ourselves, well...

society can't move on.

We need to talk about men.

I, I... hi, sorry.

I just thought we were supposed

to be talking about... women.

Is that not the whole point of this campaign?

Women? Well, that's not strictly...

Look, if my voice is unwelcome here...

Your voice is essential.

Art shouldn't be about censorship.

We need to engage even with unpalatable subjects.

That's why we're here... we're artists.

Absolutely.

Couldn't have said it better.

APPLAUSE

Wow.

UPTEMPO MUSIC

So, you're divorced,

but still married to your ex-wife?

What? No!

You are living beside her in the same street

and probably paying her bills.

TOM SIGHS

You will never move on, Tom.

Actually, Mina, I have moved on and, uh...

Tom Sheridan. We meet again.

Oh, �ine, hi, how are... how are you?

Oh, I love the smell of manual labour.

LAUGHS

So, is this your little kiosk?

Well, yes. Yeah, that's the, uh,

can I get you an iced coffee or a...?

Yeah, yeah, you certainly can.

LAUGHS

I, uh, I just came from Pilates.

Got to keep it tight.

And I have, I'm told.

Ah...

well, you look fantastic.

I bet you say that to all the girls

in the higher tax bracket.

So, uh, when are you coming over?

I thought you said you were doing building work?

No, no. That's all done.

Yeah, you can come anytime.

In the right hands, yes.

Uh... Tuesday?

Give you a grand tour. Yeah.

I'd love to see all your nooks and crannies.

Yeah. Well... certainly show you crannies.

I'll bring the starter. Oysters, champagne, pleather,

Most of you know we've had a pretty fucking choppy year.

Now, we may not have hit the iceberg,

Sorry, I'm late.

Parking was a mare.

What is that smell?

Everyone, this is Vicky.

Hi. I work for SCIAN

and we rescue troubled businesses.

And we bought the majority share in Appleby's.

Co-boss.

I still have a stake.

Aw.

And listen, I'm really sorry about the lay-offs.

Lay-offs? What lay-offs?

Well, we haven't gotten into...

The numbers aren't great, I'm afraid.

So, some of you...

probably you,

will be leaving us. GIGGLES

But that's a conversation for next week.

What's your name?

Me? Mm.

Anthony. Ant.

Not the Ant who made his quarterly numbers

by selling his family home,

and flogging his dad a place in the inner city?

And a rental to his mum, yeah.

Now, that is the sort of personal commitment

I'm looking for.

Serious, dedicated, willing to take his work home.

I like it. Come with me.

UPBEAT MUSIC CHAIR SCRAPES

I love your shoes .

Thanks.

So, Ant, tell me about yourself.

I'm really sorry if I spoke out of turn.

There were press in that room.

I did say it could be tricky with Shiv.

Excuse me?

You and I are contemporaries.

We were at college together.

We studied together.

Not like I can exactly teach you anything.

Well, no, that's true.

And we were lovers.

In the past.

Absolutely.

But it is a complicating factor.

And if I'm going to take this position,

we need to be transparent with the college,

with human resources,

so that the boundaries are completely...

I agree. You do?

Totally.

Big fan of boundaries.

So, you agree that it's inappropriate

for you to coordinate my residency?

Yeah. Uh, yes. Probably.

Or run my seminar groups.

Uh-huh. Or for us to be alone together

in a professional setting of any kind.

What?

Okay, it's not like I'm the only person

you've been involved with here, Jack.

It was Christmas.

Look, I'm just trying to be clear

on the parameters here.

Seem pretty clear to me.

You two just won't be working together.

WHISPERS: Thank you.

But if I'm not coordinating the artist

in residence programme,

or running the seminar groups,

what exactly am I doing here?

Tutoring the second years.

But I was pretty much doing that last term.

What about career growth? JAUNTY MUSIC

What about women supporting women?

We're not doing that any more.

Right, if everyone's agreed,

I'll print the contracts and you can both sign them ASAP.

Maybe just leave the door open, yeah?

Uh, through here.

ICE CLINKING

So, you didn't breastfeed all your babies.

Was it all of us or... or the first?

Oh, I don't remember.

People weren't so neurotic in those days.

It's gone mad.

There are actually a lot of studies about

the long-term benefits of breastfeeding.

Firstly, it's been proven that... Like, did you breastfeed Carl,

for example?

I really think... No.

And I didn't breastfeed you either,

'cause you were tricky.

Oh, I did breastfeed Caroline

for six months,

but I don't think that's why she's successful.

Did you breastfeed me? Oh, God, no.
