PARTY GOER 1: Hi.

PARTY GOER 2: Hello, Sally, looking good.

PARTY GOER 3: Oh, looking good, huh?

[INTERPOSING VOICES]

GROUP: [CHEERS]

GREG: Hey, guys, up here!

Look, a magic trick.

I work-- we're giving up.

This is our last day.

Jerry is over there doing that thing.

He's coming, he's coming, he's coming.

GREG: Happy birthday, Dale.

I'm proud of ya.

Thanks, mom.

MARILYN: Happy birthday, darling.

GROUP: [SINGING] Happy birthday--

GREG: Let's blow them out.

Do it.

Don't you want to know what your old dad's got you?

You're not so old, dad.

A Shetland pony!

GREG: Yes.

A pony.

You always wanted to have a pony.

GROUP: [GASPS]

PARTY GOER: Wow.

I can't believe it.

GROUP: [CHEERS]

- You like it? - Yeah.

Thanks, dad.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, oh, Easy Rider.

No going outside that fence.

No going outside that fence. - Sure, dad.

No way. - Go, drive it!

Be careful.

Born wild.

GROUP: [CHEERS]

He's natural.

GREG: Get it a little bit.

Give it some gas.

They're going too fast.

[DIRT BIKE CRASHING]

GROUP: [GASPS]

GROUP: [SCREAMS]

MARILYN: Somebody help me!

Dale!

GREG: Get out!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Mom.

Come and help your mother here.

Did you get everything, mom?

I hope so.

Too late now if I haven't.

Did you get Twiglets?

They're for anorexics.

What would you know?

Little squirt.

It's my birthday.

All right, all right, Brian.

I see dad's car's not here yet.

Well, we got hats, we got swords, we got streamers.

Happy birthday, little brother.

Annie! Annie, open the door.

Come on, Annie, open up.

DANNY: I hear what you're saying.

No problem.

I'll sell the apartment.

There's a penthouse left.

It's yours if you want it.

OK, well, you deal with me and nobody else, right?

Everyone is either putting it off shore

or sticking it in property.

We'll give them all the property they want.

So long as the market holds.

The market's holding like a sumo wrestler, Danny.

Best figures ever.

Your wife's coming, Mr. McCarthy.

POLLY: Oh, great.

Come on, Polly.

Let's eat dinner later.

You, me, and Polly.

Sorry, Barney, it's my son's birthday.

I better split.

Late as it is.

Hi, Mona. - Danny.

How are you?

You're looking, uh, powerful.

Oh, thank you.

Don't listen to that flatterer, darling.

He'd charm the birds off the trees.

I know that.

It's Brian's birthday.

Ria's waiting for me. - There you are.

That's for Brian.

Oh, no, you shouldn't.

- Happy birthday to him. - Thanks a million.

- He's a lovely kid. - I'll see you, Barney.

Bye.

What did you give the kid?

More than you did.

Who wants jelly?

[CHILDREN CLAMORING]

Pack of wild animals.

One at a time.

Cake arriving.

Oh, Rosemary, you are wonderful.

What would I do without you?

What are best friends for?

Annie, I thought you might like this.

Look at that, Brian.

What do you think?

Aren't you a spoiled boy.

Do I get paid for wearing this?

Say thanks, Annie.

Thanks.

Don't worry.

I used to be like that myself.

Will I get these candles lit? - Perfect.

OK.

Outside, everybody, outside everyone.

Hi, Rosemary.

Hey, Danny.

Hey, kids, how's it going?

Everybody out now.

My big birthday boy.

Ah, Annie, I see you're enjoying yourself.

Yeah.

Just in time for the cake.

I'm sorry I'm late.

RIA: Oh, Rosemary, you look so good.

Come on, lads, a game of football.

I'll be off, darling.

Goodbye, I'll see you.

Thanks for your-- help, Mom. You've been great.

Bye, bye.

[KIDS CHEERING]

What?

I've been thinking, Danny.

About us.

Ah, so have I.

Don't get much chance to talk these days.

Looking so beautiful, Danny.

You got that look in your eye.

You kidding?

I can see these things.

It's time for another baby.

A new baby puts everything into perspective, work, Barney,

all this rushing around.

How long have you known.

I think I've always known the time would come,

what with Annie and Brian growing up so quickly.

They'll always be special, and nothing's going to change that.

Of course.

Ria, I can't understand how you're so calm.

You're so bloody calm.

I'm excited, Danny, darling.

You wanted us to have another baby for a long time now.

Oh my god, I don't believe this.

RIA: What?

You said us, talking about me and you.

I thought you'd found out.

For a mad moment, I thought you'd accepted it.

Found out what?

I'm-- I'm having another baby.

Ria, I've been seeing someone else,

and we just found out she's pregnant.

Ria, I'm sorry.

I was going to tell you.

I didn't mean it to be like this.

I never wanted anything like this to happen.

Dad, what are you doing?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MARILYN [VOICEOVER]: Somebody help me!

Somebody help me!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MARILYN: [WAILS]

GREG: Have you put anything at all in that bag, Marilyn?

What do I need in Hawaii?

A grass skirt?

I can't wait to see that.

This is going to be so good for us, Marilyn.

Just a minute.

I'm not going.

Are you kidding?

They're expecting us.

MARILYN: They're expecting you.

GREG: You can't stay here on your own.

I'm not going to stay on my own.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

We can't go on like this, Greg.

We're different people now.

Can you honestly look at me and tell me you have any feelings

left for me at all?

Yes, I can, Marilyn.

Well, I don't for you.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Her name's Bernadette, and--

The sex is fantastic.

Please, Danny, you can spare me the details.

Oh, I beg you, Ria, don't be bitter and accusing.

I had no idea you weren't happy here with us.

It's not that.

What is it?

If I knew what it was, maybe I could do something about it.

Bernadette and me is the real thing, Ria.

I want to spend the rest of my life with her.

We fell out of love, Ria, you and I.

I didn't.

I love everything about you.

I want to feel your arms around me.

I want to hear you telling me this is all a nightmare.

I just don't want to upset the children.

Well, stay here then.

My mind's made up.

What do we tell Brian and Annie about where we'll all live?

I'll be living here, won't I?

Well, sweetheart, eventually, we'll have to sell the place.

Sell Tara Road?

This isn't a house, Danny, this is our home.

This is where we live.

I'm not moving out of my home so you can

provide for your girlfriend.

[PHONE RINGING]

Danny, could you get that?

[THUNDER CRASHING]

Hello?

Yes, I'm looking for Danny Lynch,

he's a property consultant.

My husband met him years ago in Ireland.

I'm-- I'm Marilyn Vine, I'm from America.

I live in Stonyfield, Connecticut, New England.

Why do you want him, Danny?

MARILYN [ON PHONE]: Well, my husband said that he was a very

helpful man, and you see, I've got this big house

and a swimming pool, and I'm looking for someone that would

like to exchange homes with me.

I would like--

I'd like to be near Dublin.

Is this Mrs. Lynch?

I don't-- I don't know.

MARILYN [ON PHONE]: I beg your pardon?

Look, it's the middle of the night here.

Oh, god, I'm so sorry.

I completely forgot about the time change.

Look, I could call you back in the morning your time.

Oh, no, no, don't.

Listen, now's as good a time as any.

Well, I've got a big house too.

I'll do it.

I'll swap with you.

You will?

Oh, that's great.

That's great.

OK, well, I'll send you pictures and information right away.

You see, my husband, he's in Hawaii,

and I'd like to be there for a couple of months, preferably

when the weather's nice.

Oh, the, uh, no, the weather's beautiful now.

I'm Ria, by the way.

Ria Lynch.

MARILYN [ON PHONE]: Hello?

You there?

Hello?

This whole thing is crazy.

You're letting some mad woman move in here into my house?

RIA: Our house.

It's not on, Ria, believe me.

It's all arranged, Danny.

Unarrange it, sweetheart.

Call me sweetheart one more time,

and I swear I will grab the nearest fork

and stick it in your eye.

Ria, going to America for two months,

what's it going to do for you?

Running away is never a good idea.

Well, I'm going.

She's arriving the same day.

The kids'll follow out later.

Have you told them?

RIA: Not yet.

Don't.

It would cost me a fortune.

For god's sake, I've got two homes to keep going on, Ria.

What a mess.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

No.

Oh, no, please don't.

Don't.

Don't.

Oh, Ria.

Isn't it beautiful?

It reminds me of my grandmother's house.

Yes.

It's lovely.

But, um, you know, what about friends?

Who are you going to talk to?

In Ireland?

The entire population.

Well, the object of the exercise is to be alone.

What does Greg say?

Greg.

Greg doesn't know.

Hey, you can bring us back one of those leprechauns.

You know, little old men with red beards and yellow trousers,

and they promise you a pot of gold.

You probably have enough of them already.

You what?

You're letting the house to a total stranger?

MARILYN [ON PHONE]: She just separated from her husband.

Oh, yeah, just like you and me.

Marilyn, in your state of mind, it's

dangerous to go there on your own.

It's only for a short time, Greg.

I just wanted you to know.

Try and--

GREG [ON PHONE]: Try and sort it out in your mind.

I understand.

Do you?

Jesus, Marilyn, you're letting some Irish loony tune

take over our house.

She'll probably hang religious pictures

everywhere, wreck the place.

Hey, hey, hey, that special bottle of cognac you

gave me on my birthday, it's in my study.

Hide it.

Marilyn, hide it away.

A swimming pool.

Hey, look at that, mom.

Hey, what's that?

A basketball ring.

I'm not going.

BRIAN: That's cool.

- It'll solve nothing. - Fine.

Stay here with dad, then.

If he was my husband, I'd strangle him.

And you just sit there, mom, and do nothing.

I'm not doing nothing.

I'm going to New England.

You can come with me or you can stay here.

Honey, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Annie's right.

Danny's so stupid walking out on this lovely home.

I mean, what can he get from that slut

that he can't have here?

Oh, another crack at being young.

He needs a crack, all right, with a stick.

What did you do to make him leave?

RIA: I don't know, mom.

Well, you can look at what you're wearing, for a start.

Mind you, might be a clever move, going away, Ria.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Oh, god, I hope I'm doing the right thing.

If you could cull them that would be great.

I'd love to look after it.

Listen, I can put in lattices over here.

RIA: All right.

Some scallions.

It'll be great.

My customers will love it.

By the time you get back, the whole garden will be blooming.

How are the kids?

RIA: Annie's taking it pretty badly.

That's understandable.

She thinks it's my fault. Well, this is it.

Annie, you will try and be civil when you meet her.

She better not try and boss me around.

She won't.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

RIA: I bet this is her and her mother.

It's them, all right.

BRIAN: How can you tell?

A woman can tell these things.

But you couldn't tell dad was seeing her.

Right, it's time.

I love you both so much.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

DANNY: Hey, kids, wait for me.

You excited, Marilyn?

Yes, I am.

Well, let's go.

At least it's all spic and span.

You look fantastic, Ria.

I'm so nervous.

Rubbish.

You'll have the time of your life.

Come on, though, we really need to make a move.

Goodbye, house.

Goodbye, house.

Don't worry.

I'll keep an eye on things.

Now, come on.

[MUSIC - "WILL YE GANG, LOVE"]

You know you're not to worry about me.

Good luck, Ria.

[MUSIC - THE BLACK FAMILY, "WILL YE GANG, LOVE"]

[SINGING] Will ye gang, love, and leave me now?

Will ye forsake your own love true and gang with a lass

that you never knew?

And I will tell--

Taxi, miss?

Yes, thank you.

[RADIO CHATTER]

[SINGING] Because she's got more gold than I.

I will tell you the reason true--

What brings you to these parts?

My husband left me.

[SINGING] --taste of a love that's new.

And will you gang, love, and leave me now?

Will you gang, love, and leave me now?

Will you forsake your own love true and gang with a lass

that you never knew?

And if you love me, we'll never part.

Is that Trinity College?

DRIVER: That's it, yet.

MARILYN: Do they call it Trinity because of the Father,

the Son, and the Holy Ghost?

No.

Because Saint Patrick picked up a shamrock

and it had three leaves, you see.

Then he banished all the snakes out of the country.

They sneak back in later on and became tax inspectors.

Thank you.

Thank you, ma'am.

Welcome to America.

Thanks.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

COLIN: Hello?

Yes?

COLIN: Hello?

Hi.

MARILYN: Who's there?

Marilyn?

Welcome to Dublin.

I'm Colm Maguire, I'm a friend of Ria's.

She told you, right?

I'll be digging the garden, but don't worry,

I'll use the side gate.

I won't be getting in your way.

You're the guy with the restaurant.

Yeah, that's right.

You'll be needing to get a bit of sleep,

so I'll leave you to it.

Ria's husband must really love this new woman

to leave his family and this lovely home.

People think they're on this Earth just to be happy.

Maybe we don't know it when we are, and then it's too late.

Maybe.

Did Ria tell you anything else about me?

No.

Like that I murdered my last two wives?

Just kidding.

I'll see you later.

Hi.

You must be Ria Lynch.

Hi, Carlotta?

Yeah, hi.

Jet lagged?

No, I always look like this.

If you need anything I just live over there.

So just come over.

Aren't you going to come in, show me around?

No, no, no, no.

Listen, you're tired, and-- so just settle in, OK?

RIA: Please, come in, come on.

OK.

All right, well, you know that this is the den.

Uh huh.

And this is the living room here.

Her house is so beautiful.

She must have a very good cleaning lady.

Yeah.

OK, and bedroom, bedroom, bedroom,

down here's the kitchen, and this is Greg's study.

You know that Greg is, um, Marilyn's husband,

teaches English at Conn College.

He's a really, really sweet guy.

My husband left me recently.

Oh, well, whose hasn't?

I met him when I was 22 years old.

Well, you should have dumped him then.

Is this their son?

Yeah.

That's Dale.

Would you fancy a nip?

Oh, yeah.

It's brandy.

Yeah--

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

Come in.

Hi, I'm Heidi Franks.

Now, Marilyn told me all about you,

and I'm here to welcome you.

CARLOTTA: Hi, Heidi.

Carlotta.

She insisted I come in.

Sure.

Ria Lynch.

HEIDI: Hi. RIA: Would you like some brandy?

HEIDI: Yeah. Thanks.

Her husband left her recently.

Bastard.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I feel I've known you for years.

No.

100 million years.

No, it feels like a lifetime at the moment.

- Oh-- - I mean, you know.

What does this Marylin do, anyway?

Oh, Marilyn.

She cleans, cleans-- - She does not clean!

- Cleans. - She teaches.

She teaches music.

She's a clarinetist.

[PHONE RINGING]

And it's so sad she won't play anymore.

[PHONE RINGING]

She's been a bit of a bitch lately.

MARILYN [ON VOICEMAIL]: Hi, this is the Vine residence.

Lately? [LAUGHING]

Please leave your message after the beep.

Or am I being unkind?

MARLYN VINE [ON ANSWERING MACHINE]: Hi, Ria.

[LAUGHTER] [SHUSHING]

MARILYN VINE [ANSWERING MACHINE]: This is Marilyn Vine.

I'm just checking in on you.

I wanted to let you know that everything's

great here in Dublin.

And I just love your little house.

It is simply beautiful.

And if my friends Carlotta or Heidi impose too much just

tell them you're too busy. - You.

[GASPS]

MARILYN VINE [ANSWERING MACHINE]: Good night.

[MELANCHOLY GUITAR MUSIC]

[FOOTSTEPS]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[DOORKNOB STICKS]

ROSEMARY RYAN: Hello?

Hi.

I'm Rosemary Ryan.

Ria and I are best friends.

Welcome to Ireland.

Marylin Vine.

I'd ask you in but I--

I don't want to come in.

Actually, I just wanted to ask you to dinner on Saturday.

At Colm's.

He's having a gala evening.

Well, Ria asked me to keep an eye on you

and I think he'd like it if you'd come.

You don't have to decide right now, I'll call you later,

or you can call me.

Whatever suits.

Thank you.

How are you?

That's a grand now, isn't it Mrs. Vine?

Isn't it a grand day?

I was wondering how you were enjoying Ireland.

Oh, it's lovely.

BRIAN LYNCH [ANSWERING MACHINE]: Hi, mom.

Is it nice there?

Finola's quite nice.

Finola's Bernadette's mother.

She's coming out to dinner with us as well.

ANNIE LYNCH [ANSWERING MACHINE]: Are you just mentioning names?

You have the brains of a flea.

BRIAN LYNCH [ANSWERING MACHINE]: Bye, mom.

[ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS]

[SOBBING]

[LOUD KNOCKING]

[SNIFFLING]

Hi, I'm Andy Vine, Greg's brother.

Is he in?

No, Greg's in Hawaii.

Marilyn's in Dublin.

Really?

Why?

I can't really explain it now.

Um, would you mind calling back later?

Um, I'll just call Greg and check

you are who you say you are.

OK.

I see.

He'll tell you I always drop by when I come out east.

I'm sorry, it's just that--

it's just that my children just called.

That's why I'm so upset.

My husband--

[MUFFLED SOB]

Hey, it's OK.

I'll be back later.

I'm sorry.

Bye.

[GASPING SOBS]

[LOUD SPLASH]

[MUSIC - AUTAMATA, "OUT OF THIS"]

Konran kara shitsujo ga umare.

Soon kara seijaku ga umareru.

Shinjitsu wa ai o umu.

Wa ai o umu.

Out of this noise, here comes a stillness.

Out of this chaos, here comes the order.

Out of this language, out of this language.

Out of these words.

Out of this noise, here comes the stillness.

Out of this chaos, here comes the order.

Out of this language, out of this language,

out of these words.

Out of this.

[DEEP BREATH]

Yeah, he's my brother.

It's OK.

He works in Los Angeles, comes east occasionally.

I appreciate your caution.

You'll be pleased to know your wife's well installed

in my house in Dublin.

Is your family with you there as well in my house?

No, no.

My children are coming later.

Didn't Marilyn tell you that?

No.

Uh, yes.

[CLEARING THROAT]

I apologize for my tone.

Marilyn and I didn't quite--

never mind.

Well I didn't know much about you both

but you certainly have a lovely son.

He must be enjoying it in Hawaii.

I beg your pardon?

He must be missing his mother.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

She's certainly missing him.

[CHOPPING AND DIGGING SOUNDS]

Ah, how are youse?

I'm Ria's mother.

I was just wondering--

I worked for the local old people's homes.

They love surprises.

I met a circus clown in Grafton Street once.

Big Red Nose, he was called.

I brought him along.

He worked a treat.

They'd love to meet an American.

I'm sure they would, but I'm afraid I'd be a let

down after the Big Red Nose.

[CHUCKLES]

Do you have children of your own?

Don't worry about the gate.

I'll close it.

[HEELED FOOTSTEPS]

[DIGGING SOUNDS]

[GASP]

Hi, Colm!

Hey!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

COLM MAGUIRE: These are the lot for the restaurant.

See, Irish bread, cakes.

There's a really nice cheese stall right here.

Shay, how are you doing?

This is Marilyn, from America.

- Hi. - Hi.

Got anything interesting today?

Come take a look.

Oh, yeah.

Goat's brie, right?

You like goat's cheese?

I don't even like goats.

Try it.

It's good for you.

Why is it everything that's good for you tastes horrible?

So you won't get addicted to it.

It's a definite flavor.

I want a new frog.

As in hop-hop horrible?

I'm not buying the new one, I'm swapping it for another.

[FROG CROAKING]

[LAUGHING]

What's so funny?

Coffee?

I don't drink coffee.

I don't think he's asking you, Annie.

- We better go. - What?

Bye, Colm.

See you later kids.

[CARS HONKING]

[PHONE RINGING]

[SINGING] When Mary left her island home

and wandered forth with me--

You going to travel around the country at all?

Not if I can help it.

You only want to travel around inside your head, am I right?

You can say that.

I'll accompany you anytime.

I like being alone.

Me too.

And it's much better being alone together.

Sometimes.

[SONG CONTINUES IN THE DISTANCE]

So sweet, so unbearably sad.

Not at all.

He's alive.

He's singing.

[CHUCKLES]

[SONG CONTINUES IN DISTANCE]

Your smile is lovely and sad.

Are you OK?

You wouldn't flirt with someone's emotions,

especially a stranger's, would you?

Did Ria tell you I was an alcoholic?

How do you know when you're an alcoholic?

You get lots of clues, like when you start drinking,

you can't stop.

I'm addicted to something else now.

What?

Life, and mashed potatoes.

[CHUCKLES]

[CHOPPING SOUNDS]

Do you have any children?

No, thank God.

So, did you leave her or did she leave you?

It's never as simple as that.

But it is.

I had an affair.

She found out and she threw me out.

What if she had wanted to have the affair?

Marriages survive affairs if the marriage

is bigger than the affair.

I thought ours was, but she couldn't cook like you.

Unfortunately able to cook does not save a marriage.

So how does Marilyn get on with Dale, because he's in Hawaii

with Greg, am I right?

Dale?

Marilyn didn't tell you about Dale.

No.

She didn't even mention she had a son.

Latkes.

These potato cakes are latkes, right?

They're not Irish at all.

We didn't invent the potato.

We just perfected it, Mr. Know All.

[LAUGHS]

I like you, Maria.

You're nice.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

This is real bees' honey, right?

As opposed to artificial bees?

I see you're sting isn't only in your prices.

Oh!

Touche, darling.

You're that Irish girl, right?

Are you really looking for a cook?

[BEAUTIFUL PIANO MUSIC]

Hey!

Fantastic.

Thanks Rosemary for persuading her.

She didn't have to break my arm.

We'll break yours though if the food's not good.

It'll be fine.

Jennifer, at 15.

Hi, follow me please.

See it in 15.

You two ready to order yet?

Hey, Polly.

- Hi, Rosemary. - Hello.

Danny.

That's the American woman in house, dad.

Colm fancies her, doesn't he Annie?

Shut your mouth.

Martinis on the house.

[CROWD OOHS]

Our American visitor--

[MUSIC - "THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER"]

Marilyn.

Marilyn Vine.

[POLITE APPLAUSE]

Thank you.

You should come here more often.

Who's he?

That's Barney McCarthy.

He's a property tycoon.

He's Danny's boss.

And that must be Danny sitting with them.

And which one is the mistress?

[BEAUTIFUL PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, yes.

Colm, give us another jar.

Welcome to Dublin, Ireland.

Danny Lynch.

You're staying in my house.

It's Ria's house, isn't it?

Our house.

How's Clemens, our cat?

I'd say he's missing you, Danny.

Maybe you should call around and rub his tummy.

Ria didn't leave any instructions about--

You know, you're very kind to leave your house to Ria.

You know, bad time for her.

I guess it has, but hey, she'll get over it, right?

Ladies!

Ladies, won't you join us?

The more the merrier.

Make room there, kids.

Move up there with that.

American hospitality, in their own country, is legendary.

Oh, Barney.

Not a speech.

No, it's too early.

Wait until we're all drunk, Barney.

[SCATTERED LAUGHTER]

DANNY LYNCH: Will you join us, Marilyn?

Oh, thank you.

DANNY LYNCH: Come on, Rosemary.

OK.

Thank you.

I'm Finola.

Rosemary Ryan.

Rosemary, this is my daughter, Bernadette.

MARILYN VINE: Hello.

Bernadette.

Rosemary.

[SAD GUITAR MUSIC]

Ta-da!

Normally we use a fork.

[LAUGHS]

If this was ice skating, you'd score a 10.

[LAUGHS]

I like!

[CRUNCHING]

Mm!

Sing us the one you sang at your mother's wedding!

At least my mother had a wedding.

[INCREDULOUS LAUGHTER]

Rosemary will you sing the song

you sang at the charity do? [SIGH]

Please.

Oh, go on will you?

Come on, Rosemary.

Give us a tune for our American visitor.

Sing for us.

[SINGING] As I came in by yon rushy wood what

spied I at my true love's door.

My heart stood still.

My eyes grew blind.

See my bonnie lad leave me behind.

And I will tell you the reason why because she has more gold

than I. And I will tell you the reason true, for the sweeter

taste of a love that's new.

I hate this.

Why?

Because mom should be here, that's why.

Annie, what are you trying to do?

Ruin a great evening?

Annie, be a good girl.

Me?

You're the one who ran off with my dad.

I mean you're all idiots.

I hate the most of you.

You know something suddenly, I'm not feeling very hungry.

[MELANCHOLY PIANO MUSIC]

Wait, Marilyn.

[SCREAMING]

Frog.

[SOBBING]

Marilyn!

Marilyn, wait!

[SIGH]

Just hated what was going on back there.

And Annie was so angry, and--

Come on back.

I don't know what I'm doing here.

I think I've made a terrible mistake.

Here.

It smells like curry powder.

Come on back.

Have a brandy, have two, have a whole bottle.

Cheer yourself up.

I can't.

I'd feel like a fool in front of those people.

You couldn't make a fool of yourself, not in my restaurant.

Rouse, fisticuffs, walk-outs-- all part of the course.

I came here to be alone, to think.

Colm!

[HEELED FOOTSTEPS]

[SUDDEN HARD KNOCKING] ROSEMARY RYAN: Marilyn?

[GASPING]

It's just me.

I saw the lights and--

Marilyn, are you OK?

Do you want to talk?

No, no.

I'm fine.

I was just tired.

Sure.

You didn't make a mistake coming here by the way.

Whatever it is that's bugging you, it will work out.

Just give it a chance.

Yeah, thanks.

Goodnight.

You can call round anytime.

Everyone's so nice.

I can't.

I mean, what if Marilyn found out?

Like I'm going to tell her.

Relax!

Oh, I like the green one!

This green dress?

This is the color of salad.

Salad is a side dish.

You are the main course.

What about this one?

This is nice.

Yellow?

I'm sorry, you want to go out looking like an omelet?

Please.

I love the blue!

Blue is my grandmother.

Oh!

Oh, now-- This.

This is perfect.

This is you.

Innocent yet alluring.

Innocent?

"Ish."

Listen, sweetheart.

This is America and everything is packaging.

And with a guy like Andy Vine, think Christmas.

Christmas?

Look, if he likes the look at the wrapping,

he's going to really be desperate for the present.

[LAUGHING]

I don't think we'll pursue that analogy, Carlotta.

And I don't intend to be gift for any man anymore,

not even Andy Vine.

Oh!

Famous last words, sweetheart.

Mm, that's good.

You never had a Thai food before?

Of course I have.

We're quite modern in Ireland, you know.

Sometimes even manage to feed myself.

[BREATHY LAUGH]

I could get used to this.

Making Irish coffee later.

There I was standing like an idiot in front of everybody.

[RIA LAUGHING HARD]

Well, it's good to hear laughter around here again, too.

It's been lovely meeting you, Maria.

Me and you, we have no ties.

No one to betray or hurt.

Wouldn't it be nice if we spent the night together?

I'm really not very experienced at this kind

of thing.

I'm not playing games with you, Andy.

I-- I never did even when I was a young

girl with the fellows at--

I'm sorry if I've been giving out the wrong signals.

It doesn't have to end in bed.

It'd be better if it did, but if it's not going to,

much remember the good bits.

They were all good bits.

[LAUGHING]

You making fun of me?

Yes.

Well, don't.

[MUSIC - JERRY FISH & THE MUDBUG CLUB, "TRUE FRIENDS"]

We'll meet again.

Trust me my friend, there's no harm in goodbye.

Give me your glass.

Follow your heart.

Wipe that tear from your eye.

Time makes amends, don't be afraid.

You might let love pass you by.

Remember this, true friends never part.

You didn't just dump Ria in the back, Danny,

you did it to me as well.

What has to be different?

We're always going to care for each other.

Oh, that is just bullshit!

It's just bullshit!

[SOBBING]

[TENSE MUSIC]

Oh no, it's Mum.

[SIGHS]

[LAUGHS] Oh, that's all we need.

Not that it matters anymore.

It does to me.

Oh, come on Rosemary.

I never meant to hurt you, or anyone else.

I married the wrong person at the right time,

and the right person at the wrong time.

I-- Oh, I don't know.

No, I don't suppose you do.

[SCRAPING SOUNDS]

Tara Road!

I'm going to lose the lot.

BERNADETTE: It's not worth a heart attack, Danny.

[INTENSE MUSIC]

DANNY LYNCH: If he's gone down, we're gone down.

Don't you understand, sweetheart?

We're sunk.

Maybe it's just a rumor.

"Tara Holdings crashes?"

It couldn't just be talk.

Don't shout, Danny.

You upset me.

What do you-- hey--

What do you mean Mr. McCarthy's not there?

I want to talk to him, now.

Brian, will you stop touching that plant?

You're not allowed.

It's not a plant, dad, it's a tree.

Why are we here, anyway?

I thought we were going for a picnic?

That's just what I'd expect from you.

You selfish, or what?

Now, don't push it.

You've caused enough trouble as it is.

Fancy bit he goes around with, Barney.

I wonder what his wife would say if she found out.

Ask Mom.

Get out of here.

Go on, go home.

Goodness sake, Annie.

He doesn't mean it.

[INTENSE MUSIC]

Hi, Mona?

Hi, it's Danny.

Is it true?

The whole thing's collapsed?

I need to speak to Barney.

Where is he?

Thanks, Mona.

I'll be OK sweetheart.

I'll think of something after I strangle him.

I hate when you call me sweetheart.

You're not broke, are you?

For a start you can sell that big house your wife

is trying to hang onto.

That's our house, if you don't mind.

Isn't that right, dad?

Don't tell me I'm going to get a pass, Barney.

Don't tell me you haven't got a nest

egg or two offshore somewhere.

I want my share.

I built this business up.

You sold property for me, Danny.

You're a salesman.

You didn't build anything.

My house is my house.

Your house is company collateral.

You weren't forced to sign it over.

You floated us off the rocks, at the time.

Don't you deny it.

My house is not going under with you.

I want it back.

We're in a hole.

We're not going to get out by digging deeper, Danny.

Positions change.

The banks have closed.

It's not me.

We shared the good times, now we gotta share the bad.

That's business.

We're bust.

It's not going to happen, Barney.

Believe me.

[DOOR SLAMMING]

[THUNDER CRACKING]

[SLAMMING]

Hi.

I just popped around to get something.

Why do you have a key?

Uh, this is my house.

I used to live here, before you, Marilyn.

It's just Ria left strict instructions

that no one was to have a key except for Colm,

for the garden.

I just can't have people walking in and out of here now, can I?

I'm hardly people--

[DANNY LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]

Am I?

Oh, come in and we'll go phone Ria and sort this out,

shall we?

OK, if you feel you have to.

[PHONE RINGING]

Nobody's answering.

She's out somewhere.

Forget it.

Well, why isn't the answering machine on?

She's probably having a party.

Singing, dancing, drinking.

Ria?

Having a party?

Don't be ridiculous.

[IRISH MUSIC BLARING]

[CHEERS AND CLAPPING]

Or look, check with Rosemary.

She's Ria's best friend.

And she really likes you, by the way.

Really?

That's nice.

I think she feels lonely, too, sometimes.

You're a beautiful woman.

I'd better be on my way.

Leave you in peace.

Is the key in the usual place?

Key?

What key?

Ria's car key.

That's what I came for.

Look, first of all I'd feel happier

if you gave me the key to the front door,

until I talked to your wife.

Assuming she ever answers the phone.

[LAUGHING]

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[KEYS JINGLING]

Ria's car, I need it.

For how long?

What's it got to do with you?

I'm paying insurance on her car to use it while I'm here.

She's using my car in Connecticut.

I have to sell it.

My firm's gone bust.

Everything.

Give me the car key, please.

I'll discuss it with Ria, when I reach her.

Until then, I think the car should stay with me.

OK.

[NERVOUS LAUGH]

OK, yeah.

Listen, I'm sorry.

I'm glad you're happy here.

No, he's in Hawaii, and Marilyn's in Dublin.

Shall I say who called?

No.

No, it's OK.

Hubie?

What was he doing here?

He was looking for Greg.

But that was Hubie Green.

Who?

You know he was a friend of Dale's.

So?

So?

You don't know?

Know what?

That he's on holiday with his dad in Hawaii?

No, Dale is dead.

He's dead?

Oh, God.

Oh no, I feel awful.

I've been talking to Greg about him as if he was alive.

Why didn't somebody tell me?

Why did Marilyn say anything?

She won't accept it.

That's why she's run away.

She won't even speak to Greg about it anymore.

How did he die?

Motorcycle accident, the day of his birthday.

And she blames Greg for it all.

No, Greg got him the bike for his birthday,

and then Dale was driving it.

And Hubie gets on the front and takes over the controls,

and so Dale ended up at the swimming pool, dead.

They'd been drinking.

Of course, they had.

Oh poor Marilyn.

Poor, poor Marilyn.

Danny, you know that.

DANNY LYNCH: But you're not a friend.

Your business is booming.

We're going to lose the house and lose Tara Road.

Gotta tell Ria.

ROSEMARY RYAN: But she won't believe you.

"Oh, Danny darling, it'll all turn out fine."

DANNY LYNCH: What did Ria ever do to make

you despise her so much?

ROSEMARY RYAN: She let me have an affair with you

right under her nose.

Don't kick me when down, Rosemary.

Like you did to me?

I loved you first, and then you married her.

Rosemary, lend me the money.

It'll be an investment.

I'll double it for you.

I did before, didn't I?

This time it's too complicated, Danny.

There's Bernadette involved and she's pregnant.

You don't understand having to go around my own house

and grovel to Mrs. Jackboots.

You still want me to stay the night, though?

Don't you?

He was groveling to her for money.

It didn't work.

She's a hard woman

I'm glad I left your restaurant that night.

What an absurd species we are.

Hello, Ria.

Marilyn?

How are you?

Is everything OK, because--

Listen, Marilyn, I just--

I hope you don't mind me saying, but I heard about your son Dale

and I wanted to say how very sad and sorry

I am about what happened.

Of course I understand now why you wanted to get away,

and all the time I'm here in your home

I'm thinking about you, and I'm hoping you're all right.

Well that's all I wanted to say.

Oh yes, well, I appreciate that.

Well it-- have you anything you

need to say to me because if you need anything,

just call Rosemary?

Yes, Rosemary.

She's-- she's very--

Well sure.

Sure, come on in guys.

Where's your husband?

Why isn't he here?

Well, he's in Hawaii.

On his holidays?

Not exactly.

Did he leave you, like dad left my mom?

No, he didn't leave me.

Did you leave him?

In a way.

Why?

At the time I thought I knew.

Why are people so stupid?

Why did he do it?

Dad.

He didn't just walk out on mom, he walked out on me.

I can see where you're coming from, Annie.

I understand why you're so angry.

Angry?

You wouldn't understand.

I mean, you're OK.

Nothing's wrong with you.

I wouldn't mind going to Hawaii.

Is that so?

What about your son?

Did you walk out on him as well as your husband?

No I haven't.

Good.

Glad to hear it.

So where is he?

My son's dead.

He died in a motorbike accident.

What kind of motorbike?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

The dangerous kind.

What was he like?

[EXHALES] He was really cool.

He was gentle, too.

And when he smiled--

oh.

He loved music.

He was really good at it.

I'm sorry.

We came to Ireland when he was a little boy,

and I wanted to be somewhere where I remembered him smiling.

He's up in heaven now, looking down on you.

He's very sorry he caused you all this trouble.

[HOPEFUL PIANO MUSIC]

I've been through a few things in my time but nothing

like what you've had to survive, Marilyn.

Ria's little boy told me my son

was watching me from heaven.

Sorry to bother you, Marilyn.

There's some documents I need.

They're upstairs.

Can I get them?

Please, phone Maria.

I told her you'd be calling.

How are you, anyway?

Well, thank you, Danny.

When I talk to Ria what shall I say you took?

Our documents about the ownership of the house,

which we need to discuss.

She'll be home in four weeks.

I can't wait that long.

Really?

You know something, Marilyn?

You made a big impression here.

People like you.

I like you.

You've helped Ria a lot.

That's nice.

I would hate for anyone to have a low opinion of me.

Like I was wearing jackboots, or something.

So the phone goes middle of the night,

He sounded so depressed I thought

I'd throw him a surprise party.

Hope he likes my cooking, but if he doesn't, he

can take a running jump.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to be a cook.

Sorry. - Oh, don't go Hubie.

Stay.

Have some food.

I have no objections to you being here, young man.

I never had.

The objections were all Marilyn's,

which I can understand.

I'm glad to see you here.

I'm glad to see you all.

Come in, and help yourself.

Took a lot of guts.

- Thanks. - Come in, Hubie.

You're just in time for the speeches

because I want to say thank you to Greg--

for lending us his beautiful home, and his friends.

And most of all, I need to say how sorry

I am that Heidi and Carlotta and me drank your bottle of brandy.

So I bought a replacement.

He doesn't drink it, Ria, he has it on his desk for show.

Does she not got any money?

Don't be ridiculous.

At least she's got a baby on the way when I've done nothing.

Now you fork up five grand or else.

Or else what?

Or else he'll tell your wife about us.

You're blackmailing me, Danny.

I'll do whatever it takes.

You've been screwing Rosemary for years.

What would Ria say if she ever found out, huh?

It'd kill her!

when I tell you what it is.

When I first started with Barney we gave

him our house as collateral.

That was my investment in his business.

There's your signature there on and mine.

Haven't told Bernadette how really broke I am.

I'll do that when I get back.

Thank you so much.

For not screaming at me.

I'm just giving you the worst news anyone could give.

No.

This we know, Mona.

Yeah, shut up for a minute, Barney.

Mona thinks she can get you back

on your feet, Mr. McCarthy.

Yes I can, because I've saved loads of money.

How'd you save a lot of money? How much--

I saved it over the years through pension

schemes, insurance policies, investments, tracker bonds.

I can confirm.

It's a considerable portfolio.

Thank you.

And my money will be available to you, Barney,

to help you start again.

To rise once more from the ashes.

Just a minute, now, Mona.

Hold on, here--

No, Barney!

You hold on.

I've held on for years.

Now there are a couple of terms for you

to get this money, and the first one is

that we have to sell our house.

Sell the house? Just a minute now--

Yes, we're selling the house, Barney.

It's too big for us, anyway.

A more modest home will suffice.

Now the money left over from the sale

will go to pay off debts of a personal nature.

But today you have to return the personal guarantee

on this house, 16 Tara Road to Ria.

Ria and her children are not going to be out in the street

because of your mistakes.

It's going to be tough on you, Danny,

unless you straighten out your life.

Mona, there is no way--

That is the deal, Barney.

Ria This is--

You cannot do this to me.

The papers, please.

Pass the papers, Danny.

[PAPERS SHUFFLING]

[PAPER RIPPING]

Now, Polly.

[MONA CLEARS HER THROAT]

Polly?

You have been my husband's mistress for years,

and I've known for years, and I have no wish

to comment on the morals of this situation other

than to say it was an underhanded insult

to those of us who gave our word and never broke it.

So Barney, you will finish this relationship now.

Is this legal, Barney?

Mona's calling the shots.

I'm sorry, Polly.

How much money have you got altogether, Mona?

You'll find out in due course Barney, don't worry.

Now Rosemary, we will keep you on as our printer.

[RELIEVED SIGH]

My husband's firm has been very good to you in the past.

Thank you, Mona.

Have you anything you'd like to say to Ria?

I-- I--

I-- Ria and I are--

Best friends.

What ever it is, Rosemary, you could perhaps save

the gory details for later.

You know this would have killed me one time.

Not now.

[THROAT CLEARING]

I have nothing!

You've still got the boutique.

You could have saved me from all of this.

BARNEY: Which incidentally is losing money hand over fist.

Saved you is it?

[INTERPOSING VOICES] Saving you from your boring marriage,

boring wie.

[APPLAUSE]

[LAUGHS]

Beautiful, just beautiful.

Mum?

Why don't you and Colm get married, then?

Hm.

Hey, kid.

I can fight me own battles.

Marilyn, I have a confession to make.

Those matching vases and the big ugly busty

thing at your house--

they're broken.

Oh.

My vases.

I threw them at Danny.

Oh!

Oh.

[LAUGHING]

God, I was scared there for a minute.

[LAUGHTER]

[GENTLE PIANO MUSIC]

It has been absolutely amazing.

[LAUGHING]

Meet again?

Bye.

[INTERPOSING VOICES]

MARILYN VINE: Ria.

[SIGHING]

Back to where we started, eh?

But we're not the same, are we?
