0:03:31 > 0:03:33It's no problem. Well, we've sold the apartments.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36Now, there's a penthouse left. It's yours if you want it.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38OK.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Well, you deal with me and nobody else, right?

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Everyone is either putting it offshore or sticking it in property.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48We'll give 'em all the property they want.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50As long as the market holds.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17- Hi, Mona. - Danny. How are you?

0:04:17 > 0:04:20- You're looking, um...powerful. - Oh, thank you...

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Don't listen to that flatterer, darlin'!

0:04:22 > 0:04:24He'd charm the birds off the trees.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Cake arriving.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50What are best friends for?

0:04:50 > 0:04:51Annie, I thought you might like this.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Look at that, Brian. What do you think?

0:04:54 > 0:04:56Aren't you a spoilt boy?

0:04:57 > 0:04:58Do I get paid for wearing this?

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Say thanks, Annie.

0:05:00 > 0:05:01Thanks.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Don't worry, I used to be like that myself.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Will I get these candles lit? - Perfect. Thank you.

0:05:07 > 0:05:08Outside, everybody. Outside, everyone.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21My big birthday boy.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Hi, Annie. I can see you're enjoying yourself.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Yeah.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Just in time for the cake.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31I'm sorry I'm late.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Oh, Rosemary. You've been so good.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Who wants a game of football?

0:05:43 > 0:05:45I'll be off, darling. Goodbye.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47- See you, Gran. - Thanks for your help, Mum.

0:05:47 > 0:05:48Bye, sweetheart. Bye-bye.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12What?

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Well, I've been thinking, Danny.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19About us.

0:06:20 > 0:06:21Aye, so have I.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Don't get much chance to talk these days.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30You're looking so beautiful, Dan.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33You've got that look in your eye.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35LAUGHS: You're kidding.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37I can see these things.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41It's time for another baby.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Well, a new baby puts everything into perspective.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48Work, Barney, all this rushing around.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53How long have you known?

0:06:53 > 0:06:56I think I've always known the time would come.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58What with Annie and Brian grown up so quickly.

0:06:59 > 0:07:04They'll always be special, and nothing's gonna change that.

0:07:04 > 0:07:05Of course.

0:07:05 > 0:07:11Ria, I can't understand how you're so calm.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13You're so bloody calm.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Well, I'm excited, Danny, darlin'.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18I've been wanting us to have another baby for a long time now.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22Oh, God. Oh, my God. I don't believe this.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24What?

0:07:24 > 0:07:25You said "us".

0:07:25 > 0:07:27You were talking about me and you.

0:07:27 > 0:07:28I thought you'd found out.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32For a mad moment, I thought you'd accepted it.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Found out what?

0:07:41 > 0:07:43I...

0:07:45 > 0:07:47I'm having another baby.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Ria?

0:07:54 > 0:08:00I've been seeing someone else and we just found out she's pregnant.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02GASPS

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Ria, I'm sorry. I was gonna tell you.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07I didn't mean it to be like this.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12I never wanted anything like this to happen.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Dad, what are you doing?

0:09:12 > 0:09:15WOMAN SCREAMS Somebody help me!

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Can somebody help me?

0:10:15 > 0:10:17MAN: Have you put anything at all in that bag, Marilyn?

0:10:18 > 0:10:21What do I need in Hawaii? A grass skirt?

0:10:21 > 0:10:24LAUGHS: I can't wait to see that.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34This is gonna be so good for us, Marilyn.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37TUTS

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Just a minute.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56I'm not going.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Are you kidding? They're expecting us.

0:10:59 > 0:11:00They're expecting you.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02You can't stay here on your own.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04I'm not gonna stay on my own.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06What do you mean?

0:11:06 > 0:11:08I don't know.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12We can't go on like this, Greg.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14We're different people now.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Can you honestly look at me

0:11:20 > 0:11:26and tell me you have any feelings left for me at all?

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Yes, I can, Marilyn.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Well, I don't for you.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Her name's Bernadette and...

0:12:17 > 0:12:20The sex is fantastic. Please, Danny, you can spare me the details.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Oh, I beg you, Ria, don't be bitter and accusing.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26I had no idea you weren't happy here with us.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28- It's not that. - Well, what is it?

0:12:28 > 0:12:31If I knew what it was, maybe I could do something about it.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Bernadette and me...

0:12:37 > 0:12:38..it's the real thing, Ria.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43I wanna spend the rest of my life with her.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46We fell out of love, Ria, you and I.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48I didn't.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51I love everything about you. I want to feel your arms around me.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53I want to hear you telling me this is all a nightmare.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56- I just don't wanna upset the kids. - Well, stay here, then.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59My mind's made up.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01What'll we tell Brian and Annie about where we'll all live?

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Well, I'll be living here, won't I?

0:13:04 > 0:13:07Well, sweetheart, eventually we'll have to sell the place.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Sell Tara Road?

0:13:10 > 0:13:13But this isn't a house, Danny, this is our home.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15This is where we live.

0:13:17 > 0:13:21I'm not moving out of my home so you can provide for your girlfriend!

0:13:37 > 0:13:40PHONE RINGS Danny, could you get that?

0:13:53 > 0:13:54Hello?

0:13:54 > 0:13:58Yes, I'm looking for Danny Lynch. He's a property consultant.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01My husband met him years ago in Ireland.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05I live in Stoneyfield, Connecticut, New England.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07What? Why do you want him - Danny?

0:14:10 > 0:14:12and, you see, I've got this big house and a swimming pool

0:14:12 > 0:14:14and I'm looking for someone

0:14:14 > 0:14:16that would like to exchange homes with me.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20I would like... I'd like to be near Dublin.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22Is this Mrs Lynch?

0:14:22 > 0:14:23I don't know.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25I beg your pardon?

0:14:25 > 0:14:28Look, it's the middle of the night here.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Oh, God, I'm so sorry! I completely forgot about the time change.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34Look, I can call you back in the morning your time.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36Oh, no, no, don't.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Um, listen, now's as good a time as any.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41Um, well, I've got a big house too.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44I'll do it. I'll swap with you.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48You will? Oh, that's great.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50That's great.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54OK, well, I'll send you pictures and information right away.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56You see, my husband, he's in Hawaii,

0:14:56 > 0:14:58and I'd like to be there for a couple of months,

0:14:58 > 0:14:59preferably when the weather's nice.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02Oh, the... No, the weather's beautiful now.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04THUNDER RUMBLES

0:15:04 > 0:15:08I'm Ria, by the way. Ria Lynch.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10Hello? Are you there?

0:15:11 > 0:15:13Hello?

0:15:23 > 0:15:25This whole thing is crazy.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28You're letting some mad woman move in here, into my house.

0:15:28 > 0:15:29OUR house.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31It's not on, Ria. Believe me.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34- It's all arranged, Danny. - Unarrange it, sweetheart.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36Call me "sweetheart" one more time

0:15:36 > 0:15:40and I swear I will grab the nearest fork and stick it in your eye.

0:15:40 > 0:15:46Ria, going to America for two months, what's it gonna do for you?

0:15:46 > 0:15:48Running away is never a good idea.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50Well, I'm going.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52She's arriving the same day.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55The kids'll follow out later.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Have you told 'em? - Not yet.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02Don't. It'll cost me a fortune.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05For God's sakes, I've got two homes to keep going now, Ria.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14What a mess.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00- Stop. - No.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Oh, no, please don't. Don't go. Don't leave me.

0:17:03 > 0:17:04Please don't.

0:17:18 > 0:17:19SIGHS: Oh, Ria.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23Isn't it beautiful?

0:17:23 > 0:17:25It reminds me of my grandmother's house.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Yes, it's lovely.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31But, um, you know, what about friends?

0:17:31 > 0:17:32Who are you gonna talk to?

0:17:32 > 0:17:34In Ireland? The entire population.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38The object of the exercise is to be alone.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42What does Greg say?

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Greg?

0:17:45 > 0:17:47Greg doesn't know.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52Hey, you can bring us back one of those leprechauns.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54You know, little old men with red beards and yellow trousers.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56They promise you a pot of gold.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59You've been with enough of them already.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03You're what? You're letting the house to a total stranger?

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Well, she just separated from her husband.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Oh, yeah. Just like you and me.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11Marilyn, in your state of mind, it's dangerous to go there on your own.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14It's only for a short time, Greg. I just wanted you to know.

0:18:14 > 0:18:15Try and...

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Try and sort it out in your mind. I understand.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Do you?

0:18:19 > 0:18:22Jesus, Marilyn, you're letting some Irish loony tune

0:18:22 > 0:18:24take over our house.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26She'll probably hang religious pictures everywhere,

0:18:26 > 0:18:27wreck the place.

0:18:27 > 0:18:31Hey, that special bottle of cognac you gave me on my birthday.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33It's in my study. Hide it.

0:18:33 > 0:18:34Marilyn, hide it away.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40A swimming pool! Wow, look at that, Mum.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42And what's that?

0:18:42 > 0:18:43A basketball ring.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46I'm not going. It'll solve nothing.

0:18:46 > 0:18:47Fine. Stay here with Dad, then.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49If he was my husband, I'd strangle him!

0:18:49 > 0:18:53And you just sit there, Mum, and do nothing.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56I'm not doing nothing. I'm going to New England.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58You can come with me or you can stay here.

0:19:02 > 0:19:03Annie, I'm sorry.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11SIGHS: God.

0:19:11 > 0:19:16Annie's right. Danny's so stupid, walking out on this lovely home.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19I mean, what can he get from that slut that he can't have here?

0:19:19 > 0:19:20Oh, another crack at being young.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Well, he needs a crack alright - with a stick.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26- What did you do to make him leave? - I don't know, Mum.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29Well, you can look at what you're wearing for a start.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33Mind you, might be a clever move, going away, Ria.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39Oh, God, I hope I'm doing the right thing.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43If you could, Colm, that'd be great.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Oh, I'd love to look after it.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48Listen, I can put in lettuces over here.

0:19:48 > 0:19:49Oh, right.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51Some scallions. It'll be great.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53My customers'll love it.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56By the time you get back, the whole garden will be blooming.

0:20:02 > 0:20:03How are the kids?

0:20:03 > 0:20:06Annie's taking it pretty badly.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09That's understandable.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15She thinks it's my fault.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24RIA: Well, this is it.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27Annie, you will try and be civil when you meet her?

0:20:27 > 0:20:29She better not try and boss me around.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31She won't.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43I bet this is her and the mother.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47It's them alright.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49- BRIAN:- How can you tell?

0:20:49 > 0:20:51A woman can tell these things.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55But you couldn't tell Dad was seeing her.

0:20:59 > 0:21:00Right, it's time.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02I love you both so much.

0:21:30 > 0:21:31DANNY: Hey, kids!

0:21:33 > 0:21:34Wait for me!

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Are you excited, Marilyn?

0:21:41 > 0:21:43Yes, I am.

0:21:43 > 0:21:44Well, let's go.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52At least it's all spick-and-span.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06You look fantastic, Ria.

0:22:06 > 0:22:07I'm so nervous.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09Oh, rubbish. You'll have the time of your life.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12Come on, now, we really need to make a move.

0:22:14 > 0:22:18Oh, goodbye, house. Goodbye, lovely house.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Oh, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on things.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22Come on.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Now, you're not to worry about me.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30- Ah, Mrs Doyle. - Good luck, Ria.

0:22:32 > 0:22:33I'll call you when I get there.

0:22:54 > 0:22:55Taxi, miss?

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Yes, thank you.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02WOMAN ON RADIO: 483 to base, over. Everything OK on 113.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13What brings you to these parts?

0:23:15 > 0:23:16My husband left me.

0:23:58 > 0:23:59Is that Trinity College?

0:23:59 > 0:24:01MAN: That's it, yeah.

0:24:01 > 0:24:02Do they call it "Trinity"

0:24:02 > 0:24:04because of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost?

0:24:04 > 0:24:07No - because St Patrick picked up a shamrock

0:24:07 > 0:24:09and it had three leaves, you see.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12Then he banished all the snakes out of the country.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15They sneaked back in later on and became tax inspectors.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20- That's for you. - Thank you, ma'am.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Welcome to America. - Thanks.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57- MAN: Hello? - Yes?

0:25:57 > 0:25:59DOOR OPENS

0:26:04 > 0:26:07- MAN: Hi. - Who's there?

0:26:07 > 0:26:08Marilyn?

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Welcome to Dublin.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13I'm Colm McGuire. I'm a friend of Ria's.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15Uh, she told you, right?

0:26:15 > 0:26:17I'll be digging the garden, but don't worry, I'll use the side gate.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19I won't be getting in your way.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21You're the guy with the restaurant.

0:26:21 > 0:26:22Yep, that's right.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Uh, you'll be needing to get a bit of sleep,

0:26:29 > 0:26:31so I'll leave you to it.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33Ria's husband must really love this new woman

0:26:33 > 0:26:36to leave his family and this lovely home.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40People think they're on this earth just to be happy.

0:26:40 > 0:26:45Maybe we don't know it when we are, and then it's too late.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47Maybe.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53Did Ria tell you anything else about me?

0:26:53 > 0:26:56No.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01Like that I murdered my last two wives?

0:27:05 > 0:27:08LAUGHS: Just kidding. I'll see you later.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Hi! You must be Ria Lynch.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17- Hi. Carlotta? - Yeah, hi.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Jet-lagged?

0:27:19 > 0:27:21No, I always look like this.

0:27:21 > 0:27:22- CHUCKLES:- If you need anything,

0:27:22 > 0:27:26I just live over there, so just come over.

0:27:26 > 0:27:27Aren't you gonna come in and show me round?

0:27:27 > 0:27:30No, no, no. Listen, you're tired and...so just settle in, OK?

0:27:30 > 0:27:32Please come in. Come on.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34OK.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37Alright, well, you know that this is the den.

0:27:37 > 0:27:38Uh-huh.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40And this is the living room here.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43The house is so beautiful. She must have a very good cleaning lady.

0:27:43 > 0:27:44- LAUGHS:- Yeah!

0:27:44 > 0:27:46OK, and bedroom, bedroom, bedroom.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50Down here is the kitchen and this is Greg's study.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53You know that Greg is Marilyn's husband?

0:27:53 > 0:27:55- Teaches English at Conn College. - Uh-huh.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58He's a really, really sweet guy.

0:27:58 > 0:27:59My husband left me recently.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01Oh. Well, whose hasn't?

0:28:01 > 0:28:03I met him when I was 22 years old.

0:28:03 > 0:28:04Well, you shoulda dumped him then.

0:28:08 > 0:28:09Is this their son?

0:28:09 > 0:28:11Yeah, that's Dale.

0:28:12 > 0:28:13Do you fancy a nip?

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Oh, yeah!

0:28:15 > 0:28:17- It's brandy. - Yeah!

0:28:17 > 0:28:18KNOCKS AT WINDOW

0:28:18 > 0:28:20Come in.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23Hi. I'm Heidi Franks.

0:28:23 > 0:28:27Now, Marilyn told me all about you and I'm here to welcome you.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30- Hi, Heidi. - Carlotta.

0:28:30 > 0:28:32She insisted I come in.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34- Sure. - Ria Lynch.

0:28:34 > 0:28:36- Hi! - Would you like some brandy?

0:28:36 > 0:28:38- Yeah. Thanks. - Her husband left her recently.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41Bastard!

0:29:23 > 0:29:26I feel like I've known you for years.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28A hundred million years.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30It feels like a lifetime at the moment.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32What does Marilyn do, anyway?

0:29:32 > 0:29:34Oh, Marilyn, she cleans, cleans, cleans...

0:29:34 > 0:29:37She does not clean. She teaches - teaches music.

0:29:37 > 0:29:39She's a clarinettist.

0:29:39 > 0:29:41It's so sad - she won't play anymore.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43PHONE RINGS

0:29:43 > 0:29:44She's been a bit of a bitch lately.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46ANSWERING MACHINE: Hello, this is the Vine residence.

0:29:46 > 0:29:47Please leave your message after the beep.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49BEEP! MARILYN: Hi, Ria.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52This is Marilyn Vine. I'm just checking in on you.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55I wanted to let you know that everything is great here in Dublin

0:29:55 > 0:29:57and I just love your little house.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59It is simply beautiful.

0:29:59 > 0:30:03And if my friends Carlotta or Heidi impose too much,

0:30:03 > 0:30:05just tell them you're too busy.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07Goodnight.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38WOMAN: Hello? Hi.

0:30:40 > 0:30:43I'm Rosemary Ryan. Ria and I are best friends.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45Welcome to Ireland.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47Marilyn Vine. I'd ask you in, but I've...

0:30:47 > 0:30:49I don't want to come in.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52Actually, I just wanted to ask you to dinner on Saturday at Colm's.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54He's having a gala evening.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56Well, Ria asked me to keep an eye on you,

0:30:56 > 0:30:58and I think he'd like it if you'd come.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00You don't have to decide right now.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02I'll call you later or you can call me - whatever suits.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Thank you.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06How are you?

0:31:06 > 0:31:08It's a grand day, now, isn't it, Mrs Vine?

0:31:08 > 0:31:10Isn't it a grand day?

0:31:10 > 0:31:12I was wondering how you were enjoying Ireland.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15Oh, it's lovely.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19BEEP!

0:31:19 > 0:31:21BRIAN ON ANSWERING MACHINE: Hi, Mum. Is it nice there?

0:31:21 > 0:31:24Finola's quite nice. Finola's Bernadette's mother.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27She's coming out to dinner with us as well...

0:31:27 > 0:31:31SOBS

0:31:31 > 0:31:32Bye, Mum.

0:31:32 > 0:31:34BEEP!

0:31:34 > 0:31:37KNOCKING

0:31:39 > 0:31:43Hi, I'm Andy Vine, Greg's brother. Is he in?

0:31:43 > 0:31:46No, Greg's in Hawaii, Marilyn's in Dublin.

0:31:46 > 0:31:48Really? Why?

0:31:48 > 0:31:50I can't really explain it now.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53Would you mind calling back later,

0:31:53 > 0:31:57and I'll just call Greg and check you are who you say you are?

0:31:57 > 0:31:59OK. I see.

0:31:59 > 0:32:01He'll tell you I always drop by when I come out east.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04I'm sorry.

0:32:04 > 0:32:09It's just that...it's just that my children just called.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12That's why I'm so upset.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15My husband... SOBS

0:32:15 > 0:32:18Hey, it's OK. I'll be back later.

0:32:18 > 0:32:20- I'm sorry. SOBS - Bye.

0:33:19 > 0:33:20Yeah, he's my brother. It's OK.

0:33:20 > 0:33:23He works in Los Angeles. Comes east occasionally.

0:33:23 > 0:33:25I appreciate your caution.

0:33:25 > 0:33:26You'll be pleased to know

0:33:26 > 0:33:28your wife's well-installed in my house in Dublin.

0:33:28 > 0:33:30Is your family with you there as well in my house?

0:33:30 > 0:33:33No, no, my children are coming later. Didn't Marilyn tell you that?

0:33:33 > 0:33:38No...yes... Uh, I apologise for my tone.

0:33:38 > 0:33:40Marilyn and I didn't quite... Never mind.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42Well, I don't know much about you both,

0:33:42 > 0:33:44but you certainly have a lovely son.

0:33:44 > 0:33:46He must be enjoying it in Hawaii.

0:33:46 > 0:33:47I beg your pardon?

0:33:47 > 0:33:49Dale, isn't it?

0:33:49 > 0:33:51He must be missing his mother.

0:33:55 > 0:33:56She's certainly missing him.

0:34:06 > 0:34:07Oh, how are youse?

0:34:08 > 0:34:11I'm Ria's mother. I was just wondering...

0:34:11 > 0:34:13I work for the local old people's home.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15They love surprises.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18I met a circus clown in Grafton Street once.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21Big Red Nose, he was called. I brought him along.

0:34:21 > 0:34:23Oh, he worked a treat.

0:34:23 > 0:34:25They'd love to meet an American.

0:34:26 > 0:34:28I'm sure they would,

0:34:28 > 0:34:31but I'm afraid I'd be a let-down after the Big Red Nose.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37Do you have children of your own?

0:34:37 > 0:34:41Don't worry about the gate. I'll close it.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58Hi, Colm.

0:34:59 > 0:35:01Hey.

0:35:04 > 0:35:06COLM: I needed a lot for the restaurant.

0:35:06 > 0:35:11See? Irish bread, cakes.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13There's a really nice cheese stall right here.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16How you doing? This is Marilyn, from America.

0:35:16 > 0:35:18- Hi. - Hi. How you doing?

0:35:18 > 0:35:19You got anything interesting today?

0:35:19 > 0:35:21- Have a look. - Oh, yeah.

0:35:21 > 0:35:22Goat's brie, right?

0:35:22 > 0:35:24You like goat's cheese?

0:35:24 > 0:35:25I don't even like goats.

0:35:25 > 0:35:27Try it. It's good for you.

0:35:27 > 0:35:29Why is it everything that's good for you tastes horrible?

0:35:29 > 0:35:31So as you won't get addicted to it.

0:35:31 > 0:35:33Hmm. There's a definite flavour.

0:35:33 > 0:35:36- I want a new frog. - As in hop-hop-horrible?

0:35:36 > 0:35:39I'm not buying a new one. I'm swapping it for another.

0:35:43 > 0:35:44What's so funny?

0:35:46 > 0:35:49- Coffee? - I don't drink coffee.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51I don't think he's asking you, Annie.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55- We better go. - What?

0:35:55 > 0:35:57- Bye, Colm. - See you later, kids.

0:36:01 > 0:36:05# When Mary left her highland home

0:36:05 > 0:36:08# And wandered forth with me... #

0:36:08 > 0:36:10Are you going to travel round the country at all?

0:36:10 > 0:36:12Not if I can help it.

0:36:12 > 0:36:16You only wanna travel round inside your head. Am I right?

0:36:16 > 0:36:19- You could say that. - I'll accompany you any time.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21I like being alone.

0:36:21 > 0:36:25Me too, and it's much better being alone together.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29Sometimes.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35It's so sweet. So unbearably sad.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38Not at all. He's alive, he's singing.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50Your smile is lovely and sad.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52Are you OK?

0:36:54 > 0:36:56You wouldn't flirt with someone's emotions,

0:36:56 > 0:36:59especially a stranger's, would you?

0:37:04 > 0:37:06Did Ria tell you I was an alcoholic?

0:37:06 > 0:37:09How do you know when you're an alcoholic?

0:37:11 > 0:37:13Well, you get lots of clues.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16Like, when you start drinking, you can't stop.

0:37:16 > 0:37:19- I'm addicted to something else now. - What?

0:37:20 > 0:37:22Life.

0:37:23 > 0:37:25And mashed potatoes.

0:37:32 > 0:37:33Do you have any children?

0:37:33 > 0:37:36No, thank God.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39So, did you leave her or did she leave you?

0:37:39 > 0:37:41It's never as simple as that.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43Oh, but it is.

0:37:45 > 0:37:47I had an affair, she found out and she threw me out.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50What if she were the one who'd had the affair?

0:37:50 > 0:37:51Marriages survive affairs,

0:37:51 > 0:37:54if the marriage is bigger than the affair.

0:37:55 > 0:37:56I thought ours was.

0:37:58 > 0:37:59But she couldn't cook like you.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02Unfortunately, being able to cook does not save a marriage.

0:38:02 > 0:38:04So, how does Marilyn get on with Dale,

0:38:04 > 0:38:06because he's in Hawaii with Greg, am I right?

0:38:06 > 0:38:10Dale... Marilyn didn't tell you about Dale?

0:38:10 > 0:38:13No. She didn't even mention she had a son.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18Latkes. These potato cakes are latkes, right?

0:38:19 > 0:38:20They're not Irish at all.

0:38:20 > 0:38:23We didn't invent the potato, we just perfected it, Mr Know-All.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29I like you, Maria.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34You're...nice.

0:39:01 > 0:39:02This is real bees' honey, right?

0:39:02 > 0:39:06As opposed to artificial bees?

0:39:06 > 0:39:08I see your sting isn't only in your prices.

0:39:08 > 0:39:09Oh, touche, darling.

0:39:09 > 0:39:11You're that Irish girl, right?

0:39:11 > 0:39:14Are you really looking for a cook?

0:39:17 > 0:39:20PIANO MUSIC TINKLES

0:39:23 > 0:39:25Hey, fantastic.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27Thanks, Rosemary, for persuading her.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29Oh, she didn't have to break my arm.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31We'll break yours, though, if the food's not good.

0:39:31 > 0:39:34The food'll be fine. Jennifer? Er, 15.

0:39:48 > 0:39:50Colm fancies her, doesn't he, Annie?

0:39:50 > 0:39:51Shut your mouth.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53COLM: Martinis on the house... ALL EXCLAIM

0:39:53 > 0:39:56..for our American visitor, Marilyn - Marilyn Vine.

0:40:04 > 0:40:06That's Barney McCarthy. He's a property tycoon.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08He's Danny's boss.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11And that must be Danny sitting with him.

0:40:11 > 0:40:13And which one is the mistress?

0:40:14 > 0:40:16Oh...yes.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24Welcome to Dublin, Marilyn.

0:40:24 > 0:40:27Danny Lynch. You're staying in my house.

0:40:27 > 0:40:29It's Ria's house, isn't it?

0:40:29 > 0:40:30Our house.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33How's Clemence, our cat?

0:40:33 > 0:40:35I'd say he's missing you, Danny.

0:40:35 > 0:40:37Maybe you should call round and rub his tummy.

0:40:37 > 0:40:40Well, Ria didn't leave any instructions about...

0:40:40 > 0:40:42You know, you're very kind to leave your house to Ria.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45It's been a bad time for her.

0:40:45 > 0:40:46I guess it has.

0:40:46 > 0:40:50But, hey, she'll get over it, right?

0:40:52 > 0:40:54Ladies, ladies, won't you join us?

0:40:54 > 0:40:56The more the merrier. Make room there, kids.

0:40:56 > 0:40:58Move up there, lass.

0:41:00 > 0:41:05American hospitality in their own country is legendary.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07Oh, Barney, not a speech. No, it's too early.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09Wait till we're all drunk, Barney.

0:41:09 > 0:41:11Will you join us, Marilyn?

0:41:11 > 0:41:12Oh, OK. Thank you.

0:41:12 > 0:41:14- Come on, Rosemary. - OK.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20Thank you.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22- WOMAN:- I'm Finola. - Rosemary Ryan.

0:41:22 > 0:41:24Rosemary. This is my daughter, Bernadette.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27- Hello. - Bernadette.

0:41:27 > 0:41:28Rosemary.

0:41:39 > 0:41:41Ta-da!

0:41:46 > 0:41:48Normally we use a fork.

0:41:58 > 0:42:04If this was ice-skating, you'd score 10. I like!

0:42:06 > 0:42:07Mmm!

0:42:07 > 0:42:10Sing us the one you sang at your mother's wedding!

0:42:10 > 0:42:12At least my mother had a wedding.

0:42:12 > 0:42:13ALL EXCLAIM

0:42:13 > 0:42:16Rosemary, will you sing the song you sang at the charity do?

0:42:16 > 0:42:18- Oh, please. - Oh, go on, will you?

0:42:18 > 0:42:20Come on, give us a tune for our American visitor.

0:42:20 > 0:42:22Sing for us.

0:42:24 > 0:42:30# As I came in by yon rushy wood

0:42:30 > 0:42:34# What spied I

0:42:34 > 0:42:38# In my true love's door?

0:42:39 > 0:42:43# My heart stood still

0:42:43 > 0:42:47# My eyes grew blind

0:42:48 > 0:42:51# To see my bonny lad

0:42:51 > 0:42:54# Leave me behind

0:42:54 > 0:42:58# And I will tell you

0:42:58 > 0:43:02# The reason why

0:43:02 > 0:43:06# Because she has

0:43:06 > 0:43:09# More gold than I

0:43:09 > 0:43:14# And I will tell you

0:43:14 > 0:43:18# The reason true

0:43:18 > 0:43:22# For the sweeter taste

0:43:22 > 0:43:24# Of a love that's new... #

0:43:24 > 0:43:26I hate this!

0:43:27 > 0:43:28Why?

0:43:28 > 0:43:30Cos Mum should be here, that's why.

0:43:30 > 0:43:34Annie, what are you trying to do - ruin a great evening?

0:43:34 > 0:43:36Annie, be a good girl.

0:43:36 > 0:43:40Me? You're the one who ran off with my dad.

0:43:40 > 0:43:43I mean, you're all eejits! I hate the most of you.

0:43:49 > 0:43:53You know something? I'm suddenly not feeling very hungry.

0:43:53 > 0:43:55ROSEMARY: Wait, Marilyn.

0:43:55 > 0:43:57- DANNY:- Oh, no.

0:44:03 > 0:44:05WOMEN SHRIEK

0:44:05 > 0:44:06It's just a frog.

0:44:06 > 0:44:08COLM: Marilyn!

0:44:09 > 0:44:11Marilyn, wait.

0:44:14 > 0:44:15What happened?

0:44:15 > 0:44:18I just hated what was going on back there.

0:44:18 > 0:44:19Annie was so angry and...

0:44:20 > 0:44:22Come on back.

0:44:22 > 0:44:25I don't know what I'm doing here.

0:44:27 > 0:44:29I think I made a terrible mistake.

0:44:29 > 0:44:30Here.

0:44:34 > 0:44:35It smells like curry powder.

0:44:37 > 0:44:40Come on back. Have a brandy.

0:44:40 > 0:44:43Have two. Have the whole bottle. Cheer yourself up.

0:44:43 > 0:44:46I can't. I'd feel like a fool in front of those people.

0:44:46 > 0:44:48You couldn't make a fool of yourself. Not in my restaurant.

0:44:48 > 0:44:53Rows, fisticuffs, walk-outs - all par for the course.

0:44:55 > 0:44:57I came here to be alone.

0:44:59 > 0:45:01To think.

0:45:01 > 0:45:02WOMAN: Colm!

0:45:14 > 0:45:15KNOCKING WOMAN: Marilyn?

0:45:16 > 0:45:19It's just me. I saw the light and...

0:45:19 > 0:45:22Marilyn, are you OK? Do you want to talk?

0:45:22 > 0:45:24No, no, I'm fine.

0:45:25 > 0:45:27I was just tired.

0:45:27 > 0:45:29Sure.

0:45:29 > 0:45:32You didn't make a mistake coming here, by the way.

0:45:32 > 0:45:37Whatever it is that's bugging you, it will work out.

0:45:37 > 0:45:39Just give it a chance.

0:45:41 > 0:45:43Yeah, thanks.

0:45:43 > 0:45:44Night.

0:45:47 > 0:45:49You can call round any time.

0:45:52 > 0:45:54Everyone's so nice.

0:45:55 > 0:45:59I can't. I mean, what if Marilyn found out?

0:45:59 > 0:46:01What, like I'm gonna tell her? Relax!

0:46:01 > 0:46:03Oh, I like the green one.

0:46:03 > 0:46:05This green dress?

0:46:05 > 0:46:09This is the colour of salad! Salad is a side dish.

0:46:09 > 0:46:11You are the main course.

0:46:11 > 0:46:14Well, what about this one? This is nice.

0:46:14 > 0:46:18Yellow? I'm sorry, you wanna go out looking like an omelette? Please!

0:46:18 > 0:46:19I love the blue!

0:46:19 > 0:46:21Blue is my grandmother.

0:46:21 > 0:46:25Oh! Oh, no, this...this is perfect.

0:46:25 > 0:46:29This is you - innocent, yet alluring.

0:46:29 > 0:46:31- Innocent? - Ish.

0:46:31 > 0:46:35Listen, sweetheart, this is America, and everything is packaging.

0:46:35 > 0:46:39And with a guy like Andy Vine, think Christmas.

0:46:39 > 0:46:40Christmas?

0:46:40 > 0:46:42Look, if he likes the look of the wrapping,

0:46:42 > 0:46:44he's gonna really be desperate for the present.

0:46:44 > 0:46:47LAUGHS: I don't think we'll pursue that analogy, Carlotta.

0:46:47 > 0:46:51And I don't intend to be gift for any man anymore, not even Andy Vine.

0:46:51 > 0:46:53Mm-hm. Famous last words, sweetheart.

0:46:58 > 0:47:00Mmm. That's good.

0:47:00 > 0:47:02You never had Thai food before?

0:47:02 > 0:47:03Of course I have.

0:47:05 > 0:47:07We're quite modern in Ireland, you know.

0:47:08 > 0:47:10I sometimes even manage to feed myself.

0:47:24 > 0:47:26I could get used to this.

0:47:34 > 0:47:36I could make you an Irish coffee later.

0:47:41 > 0:47:44And there I was, standing like an idiot in front of everybody.

0:47:44 > 0:47:45LAUGHS

0:47:45 > 0:47:47It's good to hear laughter around here again too.

0:47:47 > 0:47:50It's been lovely meeting you, Maria.

0:47:51 > 0:47:53Me and you, we have no ties.

0:47:53 > 0:47:55No-one to betray or hurt.

0:47:56 > 0:47:58Wouldn't it be nice if we spent the night together?

0:48:10 > 0:48:13I'm really not very experienced at this kind of thing.

0:48:14 > 0:48:16I'm not playing games with you, Andy.

0:48:16 > 0:48:21I never did, even when I was a young girl, with the fellas.

0:48:21 > 0:48:25I'm sorry if I've been giving out the wrong signals.

0:48:25 > 0:48:26It doesn't have to end in bed.

0:48:26 > 0:48:28It'd be better if it did,

0:48:28 > 0:48:30but if it's not going to, let's remember the good bits.

0:48:32 > 0:48:33They were all good bits.

0:48:36 > 0:48:37Are you making fun of me?

0:48:37 > 0:48:39Yeah.

0:48:39 > 0:48:40Well, don't!

0:49:23 > 0:49:26You didn't just stab Ria in the back, Danny, you did it to me as well!

0:49:26 > 0:49:29Well, it has to be different.

0:49:29 > 0:49:32We're always gonna care for each other.

0:49:32 > 0:49:35Oh, that is just...bullshit!

0:49:35 > 0:49:37It's just such bullshit!

0:49:47 > 0:49:49Oh, no. It's Mona.

0:49:54 > 0:49:56Oh, that's all we need.

0:49:58 > 0:50:00Not that it matters anymore.

0:50:00 > 0:50:03It does to me.

0:50:05 > 0:50:08Oh, come on, Rosemary. I never meant to hurt you.

0:50:08 > 0:50:10Or anyone else.

0:50:12 > 0:50:14You marry the wrong person at the right time,

0:50:14 > 0:50:16or the right person at the wrong time or you...

0:50:18 > 0:50:19Oh, I don't know.

0:50:19 > 0:50:24No. I don't suppose you do.

0:50:37 > 0:50:40Hello. Excuse me, is Ria in?

0:50:40 > 0:50:42Ria's in America.

0:50:42 > 0:50:44She's in America.

0:50:47 > 0:50:49Er, thank you. Thank you very much.

0:51:06 > 0:51:08DANNY: My property's all tied up with Barney.

0:51:08 > 0:51:11Tara Road - I'm gonna lose the lot.

0:51:11 > 0:51:13It's not worth the heart attack, Danny.

0:51:13 > 0:51:16If he's gone down, we've gone down. Don't you understand, sweetheart?

0:51:16 > 0:51:18- We're sunk! - Maybe it's just a rumour.

0:51:18 > 0:51:21"Tara Holdings crashes"! It couldn't just be talk.

0:51:21 > 0:51:24Don't shout, Danny. You upset me.

0:51:24 > 0:51:26What do you... Hey, what do you mean "Mr McCarthy's not there"?

0:51:26 > 0:51:27I wanna talk to him now.

0:51:27 > 0:51:29Brian, will you stop touching that plant? You're not allowed.

0:51:29 > 0:51:31It's not a plant, Dad. It's a tree.

0:51:31 > 0:51:33Why are we here? Aren't we having a picnic?

0:51:33 > 0:51:36That's just what I'd expect from you. Are you selfish or what?

0:51:36 > 0:51:38Now, don't push it. You've caused enough trouble as it is.

0:51:38 > 0:51:40- FINOLA:- Fancy bit he goes around with, Barney.

0:51:40 > 0:51:42I wonder what his wife would say if she found out.

0:51:42 > 0:51:44Ask Mum.

0:51:44 > 0:51:46Get out of here! Go on, go home!

0:51:49 > 0:51:52For goodness sake, Annie, he doesn't mean it.

0:51:59 > 0:52:01Hi, Mona? Hi, it's Danny.

0:52:01 > 0:52:04Is it true? The whole thing's collapsed?

0:52:05 > 0:52:07I need to speak to Barney. Where is he?

0:52:08 > 0:52:10Thanks, Mona.

0:52:10 > 0:52:12Ah, it'll be OK, sweetheart.

0:52:12 > 0:52:14I'll think of something after I strangle him.

0:52:14 > 0:52:16I hate when you call me "sweetheart".

0:52:16 > 0:52:17But you're not broke, are you?

0:52:17 > 0:52:20For a start, you can sell that big house your wife is hanging onto.

0:52:20 > 0:52:22That's our house, if you don't mind.

0:52:22 > 0:52:24Isn't that right, Dad?

0:52:25 > 0:52:28Don't tell me you haven't got a get-out clause, Barney!

0:52:28 > 0:52:31Don't tell me you haven't got a nest egg or two offshore somewhere.

0:52:31 > 0:52:34HITS TABLE I want my share! I built this business up.

0:52:34 > 0:52:38You sold property for me, Danny. You're a salesman.

0:52:38 > 0:52:40You didn't build anything!

0:52:40 > 0:52:41My house is my house.

0:52:41 > 0:52:43Your house is company collateral.

0:52:43 > 0:52:45You weren't forced to sign it over.

0:52:45 > 0:52:49You floated us off the rocks at the time - don't you deny it.

0:52:49 > 0:52:52My house is not going under with you. I want it back.

0:52:52 > 0:52:55We're in a hole. We're not gonna get out by digging deeper, Danny.

0:52:55 > 0:52:59Positions change. The banks have closed us, not me.

0:52:59 > 0:53:02We shared the good times, now we gotta share the bad.

0:53:02 > 0:53:06That's business! We're bust!

0:53:06 > 0:53:09It's not gonna happen, Barney. Believe me.

0:53:16 > 0:53:17DOOR OPENS

0:53:17 > 0:53:19Oh, hi.

0:53:19 > 0:53:21I just popped round to get something.

0:53:21 > 0:53:23Why do you have a key?

0:53:23 > 0:53:26Uh, this is my house.

0:53:27 > 0:53:31I used to live here before you, Marilyn.

0:53:31 > 0:53:33It's just Ria left strict instructions

0:53:33 > 0:53:36that no-one was to have a key except for Colm for the garden.

0:53:36 > 0:53:40I just can't have people walking in and out of here, now, can I?

0:53:40 > 0:53:44I'm hardly people, am I?

0:53:46 > 0:53:51Well, come in and we'll go phone Ria and sort this out, shall we?

0:53:51 > 0:53:53OK, if you feel you have to.

0:53:54 > 0:53:56Nobody's answering.

0:53:56 > 0:53:58She's out somewhere. Forget it.

0:53:59 > 0:54:01Well, why isn't the answering machine on?

0:54:03 > 0:54:06She's probably having a party. Singing, dancing, drinking.

0:54:06 > 0:54:09Ria? Having a party?

0:54:10 > 0:54:11Don't be ridiculous.

0:54:11 > 0:54:14IRISH REEL MUSIC PLAYS

0:54:14 > 0:54:16ALL LAUGH AND WHOOP

0:54:20 > 0:54:24Well, look, check with Rosemary. She's Ria's best friend.

0:54:24 > 0:54:26She really likes you, by the way.

0:54:26 > 0:54:28Really? That's nice.

0:54:28 > 0:54:31She feels lonely too sometimes.

0:54:36 > 0:54:38You're a beautiful woman.

0:54:45 > 0:54:48I'd better be on my way. Leave you in peace.

0:54:48 > 0:54:50Is the key in the usual place?

0:54:50 > 0:54:51Key? What key?

0:54:51 > 0:54:53Ria's car key. That's what I came for.

0:54:53 > 0:54:55Look, first of all, I'd feel happier

0:54:55 > 0:54:59if you gave me the key to the front door, until I talk to your wife -

0:54:59 > 0:55:01assuming she ever answers the phone.

0:55:12 > 0:55:14Ria's car. I need it.

0:55:14 > 0:55:15For how long?

0:55:15 > 0:55:17What's it got to do with you?

0:55:17 > 0:55:20I'm paying insurance on her car to use it while I'm here.

0:55:20 > 0:55:23She's using my car in Connecticut.

0:55:24 > 0:55:25I have to sell it.

0:55:25 > 0:55:29My firm's gone bust. Everything.

0:55:29 > 0:55:32Give me the car key, please.

0:55:32 > 0:55:37I'll discuss it with Ria when I reach her.

0:55:37 > 0:55:40Until then, I think the car should stay with me.

0:55:43 > 0:55:45OK.

0:55:46 > 0:55:47OK, yeah.

0:55:49 > 0:55:54Listen, I'm sorry. I'm glad you're happy here.

0:55:54 > 0:55:57Who wouldn't be?

0:56:03 > 0:56:06FOOTSTEPS FADE

0:56:30 > 0:56:32Hello. Is Greg in?

0:56:32 > 0:56:35No, he's in Hawaii, and Marilyn's in Dublin.

0:56:35 > 0:56:37Shall I say who called?

0:56:37 > 0:56:39No. No, it's OK.

0:56:42 > 0:56:43Hubie.

0:56:43 > 0:56:46What was he doing here?

0:56:46 > 0:56:48He was looking for Greg.

0:56:48 > 0:56:50But that was Hubie Green.

0:56:50 > 0:56:51Who?

0:56:51 > 0:56:53You know, he was a friend of Dale's.

0:56:53 > 0:56:54So?

0:56:54 > 0:56:56So... You don't know?

0:56:56 > 0:56:59Know what? That he's on holiday with his dad in Hawaii?

0:57:00 > 0:57:02No. Dale is dead.

0:57:02 > 0:57:05He's dead?

0:57:06 > 0:57:08Oh, God.

0:57:08 > 0:57:10Oh, no, I feel awful.

0:57:10 > 0:57:13I've been talking to Greg about him as if he was alive.

0:57:13 > 0:57:15Why didn't somebody tell me? Why didn't Marilyn say anything?

0:57:15 > 0:57:18She won't accept it. That's why she's run away.

0:57:18 > 0:57:21She won't even speak to Greg about it anymore.

0:57:23 > 0:57:25God, how did he die?

0:57:25 > 0:57:27A motorcycle accident,

0:57:27 > 0:57:31the day of his birthday, and she blames Greg for it all.

0:57:31 > 0:57:34No, Greg got him the bike for his birthday,

0:57:34 > 0:57:35and then Dale was driving it,

0:57:35 > 0:57:38and Hubie gets on the front and takes over the controls.

0:57:38 > 0:57:41And so Dale ended up at the swimming pool, dead.

0:57:41 > 0:57:44They'd been drinking. Of course they had.

0:57:44 > 0:57:46Oh, poor Marilyn. Poor, poor Marilyn.

0:58:50 > 0:58:54GREG: Speed it up a little bit. Give it some gas, son.

0:58:57 > 0:58:58They're going too fast.

0:59:00 > 0:59:02CRASH!

0:59:05 > 0:59:07WOMAN SCREAMS

0:59:11 > 0:59:14- MARILYN:- Dale! Somebody help me!

0:59:22 > 0:59:24DANNY: ..if you were in trouble, I'd help you.

0:59:24 > 0:59:26- ROSEMARY:- It's a mistake asking friends for money, Danny.

0:59:26 > 0:59:28You know that.

0:59:28 > 0:59:30But you're more than a friend. Your business is booming!

0:59:30 > 0:59:33We're gonna lose the house and lose Tara Road.

0:59:33 > 0:59:34I'm gonna tell Ria.

0:59:34 > 0:59:36Well, she won't believe you.

0:59:36 > 0:59:39- SCATHINGLY:- "Oh, Danny, darling, it'll all turn out fine."

0:59:39 > 0:59:42What did Ria ever do to make you despise her so much?

0:59:42 > 0:59:45She let me have an affair with you right under her nose.

0:59:48 > 0:59:50Don't kick me when I'm down, Rosemary.

0:59:50 > 0:59:51Like you did to me?

0:59:51 > 0:59:54I loved you first, and then you married her.

0:59:54 > 0:59:57Rosemary. Lend me the money.

0:59:57 > 1:00:01It'll be an investment.

1:00:01 > 1:00:03I'll double it for you. I did before, didn't I?

1:00:03 > 1:00:05This time it's too complicated, Danny.

1:00:05 > 1:00:08There's Bernadette involved and she's pregnant.

1:00:08 > 1:00:11I don't understand having to go round to my own house

1:00:11 > 1:00:13and grovel to Mrs Jackboots!

1:00:16 > 1:00:20You still want me to stay the night, though, don't you?

1:00:26 > 1:00:28He was grovelling to her for money.

1:00:28 > 1:00:29It didn't work.

1:00:29 > 1:00:31She's a hard woman.

1:00:31 > 1:00:34I'm glad I left your restaurant that night.

1:00:34 > 1:00:36What an absurd species we are.

1:00:40 > 1:00:44Do you think someone should tell Ria about Rosemary and her husband?

1:00:44 > 1:00:46Would you wanna be the one to tell her?

1:00:46 > 1:00:50I was brought up to believe that the truth sets you free.

1:00:50 > 1:00:52No. The truth can drive you mad.

1:01:10 > 1:01:13- RIA:- Hello? - Hello, Ria.

1:01:13 > 1:01:15Marilyn? Hi!

1:01:15 > 1:01:18How are you? Is everything OK, because...

1:01:18 > 1:01:20Listen, Marilyn, I just...

1:01:20 > 1:01:23I hope you don't mind me saying, but I heard about your son, Dale,

1:01:23 > 1:01:27and I wanted to say how very sad and sorry I am about what happened.

1:01:27 > 1:01:30Of course, I understand now why you wanted to get away,

1:01:30 > 1:01:32and all the time I'm here in your home

1:01:32 > 1:01:37I'm thinking about you and I'm hoping you're alright.

1:01:37 > 1:01:39Well, that's all I wanted to say.

1:01:39 > 1:01:43Oh, yes, well...I appreciate that.

1:01:44 > 1:01:47Well, have you anything you need to say to me,

1:01:47 > 1:01:49cos if you need anything, just call Rosemary.

1:01:49 > 1:01:54Yes, Rosemary. She...she's very...

1:01:56 > 1:01:58I appreciate that. I really do.

1:01:58 > 1:02:00OK. Thank you.

1:02:00 > 1:02:01- Bye now.- Bye.

1:02:17 > 1:02:19We're not gonna stay for too long, OK?

1:02:19 > 1:02:20Fine.

1:02:25 > 1:02:26- Hi. - Hello.

1:02:26 > 1:02:29We're going to America, and we wanted to say goodbye to our cat.

1:02:29 > 1:02:31Well, sure, sure. Come on in, guys.

1:02:38 > 1:02:41Where's your husband? Why isn't he here?

1:02:41 > 1:02:43He's in Hawaii.

1:02:43 > 1:02:45On his holidays?

1:02:45 > 1:02:46Not exactly.

1:02:48 > 1:02:50Did he leave you, like Dad left my mum?

1:02:50 > 1:02:53No, he didn't leave me.

1:02:53 > 1:02:54Did you leave him?

1:02:56 > 1:02:58- In a way.- Why?

1:02:58 > 1:03:00At the time, I thought I knew.

1:03:00 > 1:03:03Why are people so stupid?

1:03:04 > 1:03:06Why did he do it - Dad?

1:03:06 > 1:03:10He didn't just walk out on Mum, he walked out on me.

1:03:10 > 1:03:12I can see where you're coming from, Annie.

1:03:12 > 1:03:14I understand why you're so angry.

1:03:14 > 1:03:15Angry?

1:03:15 > 1:03:18You wouldn't understand.

1:03:18 > 1:03:20I mean, you're OK. Nothing's wrong with you.

1:03:21 > 1:03:23I wouldn't mind going to Hawaii.

1:03:23 > 1:03:25Is that so?

1:03:26 > 1:03:30What about your son? Did you walk out on him as well as your husband?

1:03:31 > 1:03:33No, I haven't.

1:03:34 > 1:03:36Good. Glad to hear it.

1:03:37 > 1:03:39So, where is he?

1:03:43 > 1:03:44My son's dead.

1:03:48 > 1:03:50He died in a motorbike accident.

1:03:50 > 1:03:52Oh, what kind of motorbike?

1:03:55 > 1:03:56The dangerous kind.

1:04:00 > 1:04:02What was he like?

1:04:02 > 1:04:06Oh, he was really cool.

1:04:08 > 1:04:09He was gentle too.

1:04:11 > 1:04:14And when he smiled, oh!

1:04:16 > 1:04:19He loved music. He was really good at it.

1:04:21 > 1:04:22I'm sorry.

1:04:29 > 1:04:31We came to Ireland when he was a little boy.

1:04:31 > 1:04:34I wanted to be somewhere where I remembered him smiling.

1:04:36 > 1:04:40He's up in heaven now, looking down on you,

1:04:40 > 1:04:43and he's very sorry he caused you all this trouble.

1:04:54 > 1:04:56I've been through a few things in my time,

1:04:56 > 1:04:58but nothing like what you've had to survive, Marilyn.

1:05:04 > 1:05:09Ria's little boy told me my son was watching me from heaven.

1:05:13 > 1:05:18I don't know. It made me feel better.

1:05:42 > 1:05:45I wouldn't want anything to happen I couldn't tell my husband.

1:05:47 > 1:05:48Do you have to tell him?

1:06:26 > 1:06:27There they are!

1:06:27 > 1:06:29I even got jet-lagged.

1:06:29 > 1:06:31- Oh! - I missed you!

1:06:31 > 1:06:32I missed you more.

1:06:32 > 1:06:34I missed you so much, Mum.

1:06:34 > 1:06:36Oh, darling. Here, give me the bags.

1:06:36 > 1:06:38Now, wait until you see this house.

1:06:41 > 1:06:44It's great you learned how to drive on the wrong side of the road, Mum.

1:06:44 > 1:06:47It just came naturally to you, didn't it?

1:06:47 > 1:06:49Can you tell how I've changed?

1:06:49 > 1:06:50This is great, Mum.

1:07:18 > 1:07:22# I wish I was in Dixie Hooray, hooray

1:07:22 > 1:07:26# In Dixieland I'll take my stand to live and die in Dixie

1:07:26 > 1:07:28# Hooray, hooray. #

1:07:28 > 1:07:29SHRIEKS

1:07:36 > 1:07:39Sorry to bother you, Marilyn. There's some documents I need.

1:07:39 > 1:07:42Yeah. Documents. They're upstairs.

1:07:42 > 1:07:43Can I get 'em, please?

1:07:43 > 1:07:45Phone Ria. I told her you'd be calling.

1:07:45 > 1:07:47How are you, anyway?

1:07:47 > 1:07:49Well, thank you, Danny.

1:07:55 > 1:07:58If I talk to Ria, what shall I say you took?

1:07:58 > 1:08:00Documents about the ownership of the house,

1:08:00 > 1:08:02which we need to discuss.

1:08:02 > 1:08:04- She'll be home in four weeks. - I can't wait that long.

1:08:04 > 1:08:06Really?

1:08:07 > 1:08:10You know something, Marilyn, you've made a big impression here.

1:08:10 > 1:08:12People like you. I like you.

1:08:12 > 1:08:14You've helped Ria a lot.

1:08:14 > 1:08:16That's nice.

1:08:16 > 1:08:19I would hate for anyone to have a low opinion of me.

1:08:19 > 1:08:21Oh, no.

1:08:21 > 1:08:23Like I was wearing jackboots or something.

1:08:30 > 1:08:32So, the phone goes middle of the night

1:08:32 > 1:08:34and it's Greg telling me he's arriving tomorrow.

1:08:34 > 1:08:36Sounded so depressed I thought I'd throw him a surprise party.

1:08:36 > 1:08:37Mmm.

1:08:37 > 1:08:40Hope he likes my cooking, but if he doesn't he can take a running jump.

1:08:40 > 1:08:43You don't have to be a rocket scientist to be a cook.

1:08:43 > 1:08:44You gotta be something.

1:08:44 > 1:08:46Yeah - hungry.

1:08:48 > 1:08:50Is Greg's brother gonna be there?

1:08:52 > 1:08:54I believe he is. Why is that?

1:08:54 > 1:08:56PURRS

1:09:08 > 1:09:10Hi.

1:09:11 > 1:09:12Hi!

1:09:12 > 1:09:16Mr Vine, I'm sorry for daring to show up,

1:09:16 > 1:09:19but I just wanted to apologise for...

1:09:20 > 1:09:22I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

1:09:23 > 1:09:25I'm sorry.

1:09:25 > 1:09:26Oh, don't go, Hubie. Stay, have some food.

1:09:26 > 1:09:29I have no objections to you being here, young man.

1:09:29 > 1:09:30I never had.

1:09:30 > 1:09:34The objections were all Marilyn's, which I can understand.

1:09:34 > 1:09:36I'm glad to see you here.

1:09:38 > 1:09:40I'm glad to see you all.

1:09:40 > 1:09:42Come on in and help yourself.

1:09:43 > 1:09:44- That took a lot of guts. - Thanks.

1:09:44 > 1:09:47Come on in, Hubie, you're just in time for the speeches,

1:09:47 > 1:09:50because I want to say thank you to Greg

1:09:50 > 1:09:52for lending us his beautiful home and his friends

1:09:52 > 1:09:56and most of all I need to say how sorry I am

1:09:56 > 1:10:00that Heidi and Carlotta and me drank your bottle of brandy.

1:10:00 > 1:10:02So, I bought a replacement.

1:10:03 > 1:10:06He doesn't drink it, Ria. He has it on his desk for show.

1:10:06 > 1:10:07ALL LAUGH

1:10:07 > 1:10:09Were you Dale's best friend?

1:10:11 > 1:10:13TANGO MUSIC PLAYS

1:10:22 > 1:10:25No, I got a new computer. Would you like to see it later?

1:10:25 > 1:10:27Seen one, seen 'em all.

1:10:29 > 1:10:31I'd like to kiss you, Annie.

1:10:39 > 1:10:42No hope at all unless she starts talking about it,

1:10:42 > 1:10:45acknowledge it happened.

1:10:45 > 1:10:47But she is talking about it now.

1:10:48 > 1:10:50She is?

1:10:50 > 1:10:52She told Annie and Brian all about it.

1:10:52 > 1:10:53She told Colm, my friend, all about it.

1:10:53 > 1:10:56Believe me, she is talking.

1:11:16 > 1:11:20And I used to think she was a frightened little Irish mouse.

1:11:20 > 1:11:25That little Irish mouse got herself a big piece of American cheese.

1:12:06 > 1:12:08We're very sorry for your troubles.

1:12:08 > 1:12:11And we just thought we had to hop over to offer our sympathies

1:12:11 > 1:12:13and to give you this mass card.

1:12:13 > 1:12:15This what card?

1:12:15 > 1:12:17Our local priest Father Glennan will offer up mass

1:12:17 > 1:12:21for the repose of your son's soul, Lord have mercy on him.

1:12:21 > 1:12:22Amen.

1:12:23 > 1:12:26It was a time ago that my son died, but thank you.

1:12:26 > 1:12:30Ah, sure. We'll come in and you can tell us all about it.

1:12:30 > 1:12:32Oh, I'm so busy. I'm just terribly busy.

1:12:32 > 1:12:35Would you look at the time? I've got so much housework to do.

1:12:35 > 1:12:39I'm sure you ladies understand, but thank you, thank you anyway.

1:12:51 > 1:12:53Dale.

1:12:53 > 1:12:56Up to now, I couldn't mention his name.

1:12:56 > 1:12:59Otherwise a tidal wave of emotions would just...

1:12:59 > 1:13:02Yeah. I'm sure.

1:13:05 > 1:13:09The dead are dead. I guess there comes a time we ought to let them go.

1:13:10 > 1:13:13Yep, and if we're really lucky, they might just let us go.

1:13:13 > 1:13:15KNOCKING

1:13:15 > 1:13:18SIGHS: For heaven's sakes!

1:13:18 > 1:13:21I told them I was busy, right?

1:13:21 > 1:13:23I don't care if it is Ria's mother.

1:13:28 > 1:13:31GASPS: Greg.

1:13:32 > 1:13:35We're still alive, aren't we?

1:13:49 > 1:13:53- Mrs Vine? - Is that the husband?

1:14:07 > 1:14:10Just be a few minutes, Barney. I'll lock up then.

1:14:12 > 1:14:13Do that till up as well.

1:14:13 > 1:14:16We'll go for a bite to eat later if you want, love.

1:14:16 > 1:14:18Yeah, I'm starving.

1:14:20 > 1:14:23I want 5,000 and I want it now.

1:14:23 > 1:14:25Just like that, huh?

1:14:25 > 1:14:26What about Bernadette? Does she not got any money?

1:14:26 > 1:14:28Don't be ridiculous.

1:14:28 > 1:14:30At least she's got a baby coming. I've got nothing.

1:14:30 > 1:14:33Now, you fork up five grand or else!

1:14:33 > 1:14:34Or else what?!

1:14:34 > 1:14:37Or else he'll tell your wife about us.

1:14:37 > 1:14:39Oh, you're blackmailing me, Danny.

1:14:39 > 1:14:41I'll do whatever it takes.

1:14:41 > 1:14:45You've been screwing Rosemary for years.

1:14:46 > 1:14:48What would Ria say if she ever found out, huh?

1:14:48 > 1:14:50It'd kill her!

1:14:51 > 1:14:53Well, now who's blackmailing who?

1:14:53 > 1:14:55"I'll do whatever it takes".

1:14:57 > 1:14:59I'm gonna tell Ria myself.

1:19:57 > 1:19:59Give me credit for that at least.

1:19:59 > 1:20:01Gonna tell you what it is.

1:20:01 > 1:20:06When I first started with Barney, we gave him our house as collateral.

1:20:06 > 1:20:08It was my investment in his business.

1:20:10 > 1:20:12There's your signature there, and mine.

1:20:13 > 1:20:15Tara Holdings has gone down.

1:20:17 > 1:20:19The house is gone with it.

1:20:22 > 1:20:25I haven't told Bernadette how really broke I am.

1:20:25 > 1:20:28Have to do that when I get back.

1:20:32 > 1:20:34Thank you so much.

1:20:38 > 1:20:39For what?

1:20:39 > 1:20:41For not screaming at me.

1:20:43 > 1:20:45I've just given you the worst news anyone could give.

1:20:45 > 1:20:47No.

1:20:50 > 1:20:53You gave me that the day you told me you were leaving.

1:20:58 > 1:21:01You know how fond of you I am. Always will be.

1:21:02 > 1:21:04Yeah.

1:21:05 > 1:21:09We were friends once. Great friends.

1:21:11 > 1:21:13We'll work something out, sweetheart.

1:21:19 > 1:21:23Maria! You can't afford to pay for this.

1:21:25 > 1:21:27You never loved me!

1:21:37 > 1:21:38I just realised that.

1:22:43 > 1:22:49When he turned up, you thought he was coming back to you, didn't you?

1:22:51 > 1:22:52I did.

1:22:54 > 1:22:56So did I.

1:22:57 > 1:22:59Oh.

1:23:00 > 1:23:04Are you gonna tell Marilyn you wrecked her house, Mum?

1:23:15 > 1:23:17What IS she doing?

1:23:34 > 1:23:35Who are you?

1:23:35 > 1:23:38My name is Mrs McCarthy - Mona.

1:23:38 > 1:23:39Marilyn Vine.

1:23:39 > 1:23:41I know.

1:23:41 > 1:23:43I'm very worried about Ria and the children

1:23:43 > 1:23:45and where they're going to live and...

1:23:45 > 1:23:46Yes, I know.

1:23:46 > 1:23:49Do you know Rosemary?

1:23:49 > 1:23:51Her best friend, Rosemary?

1:23:52 > 1:23:55Would you like to come inside?

1:24:06 > 1:24:08Girl, you take care.

1:24:13 > 1:24:16You know, Marilyn didn't really like that bust, so you're OK there,

1:24:16 > 1:24:19but those vases, they WERE expensive.

1:24:22 > 1:24:24ALL: Bye!

1:24:59 > 1:25:01My husband never liked the wives meeting.

1:25:06 > 1:25:08- ROSEMARY: Ria! - Oh, there she is!

1:25:08 > 1:25:11- Hello! - So good to see you.

1:25:19 > 1:25:20- Hi.- Hi!

1:25:20 > 1:25:22Welcome home.

1:25:22 > 1:25:24Oh, hey there.

1:25:24 > 1:25:26Hi there, Greg.

1:25:26 > 1:25:27- Welcome home. - Thank you.

1:25:27 > 1:25:29I really have to fly, so I'll see you later.

1:25:29 > 1:25:31Oh, uh, Rosemary, wait just a minute.

1:25:31 > 1:25:35- Ria. - Marilyn! I can't believe it.

1:25:35 > 1:25:38How wonderful to meet you at last, you brave person, you.

1:25:39 > 1:25:41Rosemary, Mona - Mrs McCarthy -

1:25:41 > 1:25:43is having a meeting here at three o'clock today

1:25:43 > 1:25:45and she would like for you to be there.

1:25:45 > 1:25:46Me?

1:25:46 > 1:25:49You too, of course, Ria. Danny's gonna be there as well.

1:25:49 > 1:25:51It's very, very important, she says.

1:25:51 > 1:25:53You won't let her down, will you?

1:26:08 > 1:26:12- What time is it now? - Half-past three.

1:26:42 > 1:26:44How's the baby, Danny?

1:26:46 > 1:26:47Thanks for asking.

1:26:47 > 1:26:50Well, there's no need to beat around the bush.

1:26:50 > 1:26:53Tara Holdings has gone bust.

1:26:53 > 1:26:54This we know, Mona.

1:26:54 > 1:26:56Yeah, shut up for a minute, Barney.

1:26:56 > 1:26:59Mona thinks she can get you back on your feet, Mr McCarthy.

1:26:59 > 1:27:02Yes, I can, because I've saved loads of money.

1:27:02 > 1:27:04How've you saved a lot of money. I...

1:27:04 > 1:27:07I saved it over the years through pension schemes, insurance policies,

1:27:07 > 1:27:10investments, tracker bonds.

1:27:10 > 1:27:13I can confirm it's a considerable portfolio.

1:27:13 > 1:27:14Thank you.

1:27:14 > 1:27:17And my money will be available to you, Barney, to help you start again.

1:27:17 > 1:27:20To rise once more from the ashes.

1:27:20 > 1:27:22Just a minute now, Mona. Hold on...

1:27:22 > 1:27:25No, Barney. You hold on.

1:27:25 > 1:27:28I've held on for years.

1:27:29 > 1:27:32Now, there are a couple of terms for you to get this money,

1:27:32 > 1:27:34and the first one is that we have to sell our house.

1:27:34 > 1:27:36Sell the house? Just a minute...

1:27:36 > 1:27:38Sell the house, Barney. It's too big for us, anyway.

1:27:38 > 1:27:41A more modest home will suffice.

1:27:41 > 1:27:43Now, the money left over from the sale

1:27:43 > 1:27:46will go to pay off debts of a personal nature.

1:27:46 > 1:27:50But today you have to return the personal guarantee on this house,

1:27:50 > 1:27:55on 16 Tara Road...to Ria.

1:27:57 > 1:28:00Now, Ria and her children are not going to be out in the street

1:28:00 > 1:28:01because of your mistakes.

1:28:01 > 1:28:04It's going to be tough, Danny, unless you straighten out your life.

1:28:04 > 1:28:06- Mona, there is no way! - That is the deal, Barney.

1:28:06 > 1:28:07Ria.

1:28:07 > 1:28:12This is...you can't do this to me.

1:28:12 > 1:28:13The papers, please.

1:28:15 > 1:28:17Pass the papers, Danny.

1:28:43 > 1:28:46Now, Polly. Polly!

1:28:46 > 1:28:47Hmm?

1:28:47 > 1:28:55You have been my husband's mistress for years and I've known for years.

1:28:56 > 1:28:59And I have no wish to comment on the morals of this situation,

1:28:59 > 1:29:04other than to say it was an underhanded insult

1:29:04 > 1:29:07to those of us who gave our word and never broke it.

1:29:07 > 1:29:13So, Barney, you will finish this relationship now.

1:29:13 > 1:29:15Is this legal, Barney?

1:29:15 > 1:29:17Mona's calling the shots.

1:29:17 > 1:29:19I'm sorry, Polly.

1:29:21 > 1:29:25How much money have you got altogether, Mona?

1:29:25 > 1:29:27You'll find out in due course, Barney, don't worry.

1:29:27 > 1:29:29Now, Rosemary...

1:29:33 > 1:29:36..we will keep you on as our printer.

1:29:37 > 1:29:40My husband's firm has been very good to you in the past.

1:29:40 > 1:29:42Thank you, Mona.

1:29:44 > 1:29:48Have you anything you'd like to say to Ria?

1:29:51 > 1:29:53I...

1:29:58 > 1:30:00Ria and I are...

1:30:00 > 1:30:02Best friends.

1:30:16 > 1:30:18Whatever it is, Rosemary...

1:30:20 > 1:30:23..you can perhaps save the gory details for later.

1:30:28 > 1:30:30You know, this would've killed me one time.

1:30:34 > 1:30:36But not now.

1:30:52 > 1:30:54I have nothing!

1:30:54 > 1:30:55You've still got the boutique.

1:30:55 > 1:30:57Save me from all this.

1:30:57 > 1:30:59Save YOU, is it?

1:30:59 > 1:31:02BARNEY AND POLLY BICKER

1:31:06 > 1:31:09PLAYS CLARINET

1:31:22 > 1:31:23ALL APPLAUD AND CHEER

1:31:27 > 1:31:29Just beautiful.

1:31:30 > 1:31:33Mum, why don't you and Colm get married?

1:31:34 > 1:31:37Hey, kid, I can fight me own battles.

1:31:37 > 1:31:39ALL LAUGH

1:31:41 > 1:31:45Marilyn, I have a confession to make.

1:31:45 > 1:31:50Those matching vases and the big, ugly, busty thing at your house,

1:31:50 > 1:31:52they're broken.

1:31:52 > 1:31:55Oh! My vases.

1:31:55 > 1:31:57I threw them...

1:31:59 > 1:32:01..at Danny.

1:32:01 > 1:32:02Oh!

1:32:06 > 1:32:09Oh, God, I was scared there for a minute.

1:32:14 > 1:32:17It has been absolutely amazing.

1:32:17 > 1:32:19Till we meet again.

1:32:19 > 1:32:22Bye. Thanks.

1:32:24 > 1:32:26Ria.

1:32:30 > 1:32:32Back to where we started, eh?

1:32:32 > 1:32:35But we're not the same, are we?

1:32:45 > 1:32:48- BRIAN:- Bye! Bye!

1:32:48 > 1:32:50- RIA: Bye! ANNIE:- Bye!
