'The Titanic Leisureplex operates a strictly no smoking policy.'

Dirty bastard.

'Thank you for exercising at The Titanic Leisureplex.'

All the stuff was supposed to be here yesterday.

Luke!

That's not my problem.

How the fuck do I know who ordered it?

Listen, I've got 25 fucking men here waiting to start working.

It's not my problem.

Hold on.

Have you seen Dad? He's not answering.

What do you want me to about it?

I want you to do your job, baby brother.

Make sure he doesn't fuck up.

KIDS CHATTER

What's the sitch, bitch?

Dave.

Oh, what's he at now?

-Donna.

-What?

He was shagging her in Dave's office.

You saw this?

THEY LAUGH

That's why we couldn't get her. She likes the old guys.

Fucking hell!

Donna, Donna, Donna, you can give me the kiss of life any time.

Away and blow yourselves, spacemen.

THEY CHUCKLE

Party time is it, eh?

What's the big joke?

Nah, nothing, Dave. Had to be there.

-You're on till six, Mal, yeah?

-Yeah.

Well, you can wait for him outside. He won't be long.

I have a right to be here. I have every right.

Yeah, well, then buy a ticket. This is a business we're running here.

Yeah?

Is that's what you said to Donna?

HIGH HEELS APPROACHING

-Dad.

-Michelle. What are you doing?

Here.

Give me that.

You said six o'clock.

Oh, shit, shit. Sorry, princess.

Look, I'll be with you in a minute. You, sling your hook.

Right. Consider it slung, boss.

Consider it slung.

Where do you think you're going?

Six o'clock, Dave.

So, are you going to give me the tour?

-Oh, look, this isn't a very good time, sweetheart.

-Why not?

Michelle! Oh, my God. I can't believe it.

See, when I heard, I was like, "No way is she moving back."

Well, you know me, babes, I'm full of surprises.

Donna, should you not be cashing up, or something?

Yeah. We'll hook up later, sure, yeah?

-Yeah.

-Great.

Look, can this wait until another time? I'm sorry, princess, I've got a lot on...

Sure. No worries.

We've got loads of time now, right?

We've got all the time in the world.

Here.

MONEY RUSTLES

Now...

Where do you go to score round here?

Just missed him.

Where's Crilly been hiding her?

Fuck knows. But she's seriously hot.

Well, I bagsied her.

You can't bagsy a bird.

I bagsied her fair and square,

according to the ancient rules of bagsy.

There's nobody in.

Oh, hi, Luke.

All right?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Don't give me that.

-Open it.

-Mum.

So?

Yeah, it's all right.

Oh, my God, Mal - six As!

It's better than all right. I am so proud of you.

Come on, Mal, haven't got all day here.

Better jump to it. Chop, chop.

We're just going out to celebrate.

Why can't you celebrate here with your family?

Or we could go out, get a pizza. Something.

-Everybody's going, Mum.

-Everybody who's anybody?

All right. Enjoy yourself.

You'll be moving on soon enough.

I thought she was at work.

Come on to fuck.

See, if it was me, I'd have never have come back.

I mean, London? Are you kidding me?

Nah, it's just time to move on.

Of course, Mum's on the phone like 10 times a day trying to guilt trip me into coming back.

But it's always been cooler with Dad.

He lets me do what I want. He treats me like a grown-up, you know?

Give us a smoke of that.

-So, are you guys going to The Lifeboat?

-Yeah.

-Maybe.

We're thinking of it.

-What about you?

-That's the plan.

Michelle?

-Well...I'll maybe see you there.

-Here, hold up. Give us your number.

Just, if we do decide to go, we'll give you a shout.

All right, Leisureplex boy. 07404...

-Hi, is that Malachy?

-Yeah.

-Hi, Malachy. It's Michelle.

-Hey, Michelle.

-Can I speak to Luke, please?

-Hello.

-I heard you could help me out.

-You just say the word.

-I'll bear that in mind.

Ooh, man. I am so going to fuck her.

Not if I get there first, you're not.

Oof! Ooh!

Luke? Malachy?

She's with us.

Any chance, Luke? Any chance? Yes!

I'm serious, man. Make yourself scarce.

No way, man.

-Come on, Mal, I'm in here.

-She likes me too.

What makes you think I like either one of you?

-Hey, come on, what's not to like?

-You're only human.

So, who's it going to be?

Well, let me see now.

-Eeny, meeny, miny...

-Me!

Oh, my God, I love this song!

# There are parts she couldn't finish

# Love she wouldn't start

# She's got a three-siren charm

Get off!

Lukey! Come on, Lukey!

Dad, the phone!

'It's Dave, I'm not here right now. Please leave a message.'

HE COUGHS

-All right, boss?

-Jesus!

How bad was it?

You weren't good.

You think he'll be around?

He'll be around.

Malachy?

What time did you get in here at last night?

Clean that room and I'll put on your breakfast, do you hear me?

MESSAGE ALERT BEEPS

-I swear to God, you walk in here like you own the place.

-Very funny.

-Where's he at?

-He's probably halfway out the window by now.

You shouldn't be smoking in here.

And, eh, quit using my address, will you?

Jesus Christ!

-Well, how did you do?

-Like you give a shit.

-Oi, I want you in that school.

-Ever the businessman, aren't we?

-Is right.

-Ah, Chrissy boy.

-All right, Daddy. All right, De-Da!

-All right, son.

Just the old head, you know.

Aye, I know.

Well, what you got for me?

Well, Chris, I might be a wee bit short.

-Yeah, why's that?

-I mean, just a tad short.

-What?

-I said, why is that?

-Well, because...

-Because you were off your tits, is why.

Acting the maggot.

-Not think you're getting a wee bit too old for that sort of carry on?

-Chris, you know me.

-Aye.

HE SCREAMS

I don't know why yous think I'm here to take the piss.

-Chris!

-I thought I told you to keep an eye on him.

-I did.

Don't I give yous a roof over your heads?!

-Don't I?

-Yes.

-You're very good to us.

-Do you not think I have enough to contend with?

I'm a busy man.

This is your last chance. You keep it fucking tidy with my stuff.

One more fuck up like that and you're out on your ear.

You hear me?

And clean this place up, look at the fucking state of it.

-Look at the colour of you.

-Don't start, Dad.

I hope you're going to be fit for your dinner tonight -

your mum's cooking something special.

Oh, my God. I'm going to...

HE GAGS

Get to...

-Well, then, aren't you the dark horse?

-Always the quiet ones.

So, what else you got?

That depends, what else do you want?

-BOTH: So...

-Jinx, got you.

Now you can't talk until I say your name.

Only problem is - I can't seem to remember what your name is.

Let me see now...

Michael?

Matthew?

-Luke?

-Hello, love, what are you doing here?

Just looking for you. MALACHY here was keeping me entertained.

Well, Malachy here has got work to do.

You can wash that car for a kick-off.

That's not my job.

Your job, Malachy, is to do whatever I tell you.

Clean the friggin' car, yeah?

SHE CHUCKLES

What do you want, love? It's just I'm quite busy here.

-Did you have a good night?

-What?

I mean, you didn't come home last night, so...

What, were you worried about me, princess?

Didn't think you'd be keeping tabs on me.

Listen, I am big enough and ugly enough to look after myself, thank you very much.

Don't worry about me.

Dave?

-Hiya, Michelle.

-Hey.

-Something you want to see me about, Donna?

Thought you wanted to see me?

Oh, right. Yes, yes, duty rosters.

-OK, I'm on it.

-Thanks. Good girl.

Sorry, honey, what were you saying there?

-Nothing. It doesn't matter.

-OK.

Oh, man. What else has he got you polishing?

Piss off.

Aw...

-Well, looky here, if it isn't the big bad.

-That's me.

Oh, yeah? Tell that to the graffiti king over there.

You been getting creative, have you?

Got to get up pretty early in the morning to out-bad me.

How often have I told you that there's no smoking in here?

What do you think this is? And you, have you got no home to go to?

Watch and learn.

Joseph!

..four, five...

..seven, eight...

Sorry, ladies!

..two, three, four...

Hey, what the hell are you doing?

-THEY SCREAM

-Get out of there!

I hope you're taking notes here, man!

Oh, shit!

-All right, girls, situation's under control.

-Is it fuck under control!

Look at you!

What do the wee girls see in you, I ask myself?

See you later, Dave.

God, I can't believe he did that.

Yeah, how are you going to top that one, Mal?

That'll come out of your wages. That's criminal damage.

I didn't do anything.

You're hanging by a very fine thread, Malachy.

Just be grateful you've still got a job.

So... Your mum was right.

Nothing but fucking trouble.

I knew this wouldn't work out.

DOOR OPENS

What do you want? You OK? Peachy creamy.

Shouldn't you be working or something?

Yeah, but...

What are you, employee of the month?

Michelle?

Fuck off.

Yeah, you fuck off.

Excellent comeback there - very slick.

-Lukey boy.

-Dad, what are you playing at? You heard what he said.

Well, fuck him, anyway. Who does he take himself for? Big businessman.

Regenerate this, develop that. Fuck him.

Only one way to regenerate this town - acid in the reservoir!

-All right, Dad.

-Or Es in the school dinners, maybe.

-Let's take this home, all right, Dad? Before Chris...

-Chris is my son!

Same as you.

He doesn't own me, I don't have to answer to him for what I do.

I do whatever I want to do and I take the consequences, because...

Do you know why? I'm a man, that's why.

Make me own decisions and stand on my own two...

-Where's your trainers, son?

-Come on.

-What are you doing?

-Get your paws off me!

-Dad!

-Who do you think you are, anyway?

-You're as bad as what he is.

-You go on home to fuck, Dad!

Got you spying on me now, does he?

-Dad...

-Aye, he's got you in his pocket, all right.

You're nothing but his wee lapdog!

Fucking shut up!

True colours showing now, isn't it, son?

KNOCK ON DOOR

Come in.

Is that your handiwork outside?

Well, if you're wanting to get my attention, job done, all right?

You've made your point.

Do you mind...?

Look...

I'm sorry about earlier - I lost the bap a wee bit.

Look, this isn't easy for any of us, Michelle.

This is a learning curve for me too, but, you know,

I want what's best for you.

I mean, I really want to try and make it work, OK?

OK.

But you're going to have to meet me halfway on this.

Cos this is new to me. This is new territory.

It's not just like, summer holidays. It's not just visiting, this is...

I know.

I'm not going to tell you how to run your life. I know I'm your dad and all,

but I want you to stay away from those guys. That whole car park crowd.

I mean, I'm trying to make a difference here, and that crowd - Malachy and the other one...

I just don't want them dragging you down to their level.

That's all, all right?

Cool.

GENERAL CHATTER

-I am so proud of him.

-I always said, didn't I?

-He worked so hard.

-So. What ARE you going to do?

-Leave him alone, Joe!

-I mean, your future.

-It's all ahead of you now.

-I don't know.

-For goodness' sake, there's plenty of time for that.

-Isn't that right, Malachy?

I'm only saying,

these are the things you need to think about at his age.

-Watch my words...

-PHONE RINGS

Will you not switch that off, Malachy? For one night.

-Hello?

-'Hey.'

Sorry...

That's all right.

-Get him off the phone.

-Yes.

-'So what are we doing tonight?'

-Leave him for a minute.

-'Malachy?'

-Yeah, yeah, I'm here.

So what time are you heading out?

Listen, I'm not coming out tonight.

What...? Are you still pissed off with me?

'Come on, Mal, I said I was sorry, didn't I?'

What do you want me to do here, get down on my knees?

'Actually, maybe you WOULD like that.

-'What do you think? Would you like that, Malachy?'

-Michelle...

Michelle? Who's Michelle, I wonder?

Don't look at me. He doesn't tell me anything.

I can't really talk here.

Fine. Be like that.

Give us Luke's number.

'Has he got a landline?'

I've got to go. I'll call you.

Malachy, don't be such a...

..wuss.

-So who's this Michelle, then?

-A friend. Just a friend, all right?

Why didn't you ask her round so we could all have a good look at her?

-Yeah, Malachy. Why didn't you ask her round?

-I don't think so.

Good man, Malachy. That's my boy. Chip off the old block!

-Shut up, you!

-What?!

-Malachy.

-To Malachy.

-ALL: To Malachy.

Wanker.

All on your lonesome?

So yourself.

So, what are we going to do now?

CAR HORN

Somebody order a taxi?

I thought you weren't coming out.

Changed my mind, didn't I?

-Your carriage awaits.

-Gentleman.

-What are YOU waiting for?

-I thought you'd never ask. I'll drive.

Yeah, right.

-Does your daddy know you're out in his car?

-What do you think?

-I think you're a bad, bad boy.

-You ain't seen nothing yet.

-Promises, promises.

-Are we nearly there yet?

-Come on, let me drive.

-No way, you drive like a dick.

I have to get this back in one piece.

TYRES SCREECH

Just let me fuckin' drive!

-Oh, we're alive!

-I'm going to be in so much shit.

Fuck!

I told you, man. You should have let me drive!

What the fuck?! It's my dad's.

So, fuck!

All right, Luke. Leave it.

So what? This shit is fun. Isn't it?

Long as there's no consequences.

Long as you can go back home afterwards to mummy and daddy

and play happy fuckin' families. Is that it?

Yeah, well. Fuck that.

You know what, Luke? This is easy for you, isn't it?

You can do whatever you want. And you know why?

Cos nobody gives a fuck about you.

Nobody gives a flying fuck what you do.

All right. I think we'd better get out of here.

I can just leave it there, what about my dad?

-He'll just think somebody nicked it. He's insured, isn't he?

-Yeah, but...

-Well, come on.

You're with him now?

-What?

-I'm not with anyone.

So when are you going to fuckin' make your mind up?

Well, you're doing a pretty good job of making it up FOR me!

Why don't you tell her what you saw at work?

Mm...? Oh, what, you told her already?

-Told me what?

-Oh, don't tell me you're keeping secrets.

-HE TUTS

-What's he talking about?

-I'm talking about your old fella.

Banging the arse off your mate Donna.

Luke...

Serious?

Donna?

You know what?

Fuck this. Fuck you, fuck the pair of you!

-Michelle!

-Fuck her, let her go, man. We don't need her.

# Hurry, hurry Cos every night's a worry

# I've been alone too long

# Mary's caring But always says the right things

# She's been away too long

# Her kisses would nourish but I am here to punish

# For fear her grace would fall

# I'm hell-bent on torment Now I know what God meant

# Hello, death, my old friend

# Ah, oh oh oh... #

-Hey.

-Hey.

-Still in one piece?

-Just about.

You want to come in? There's nobody here.

Sure.

Dad...

What are you doing?

Bad enough running scared of one son.

Dad, I'm sorry.

All right? I am sorry.

It's all right, son.

Be better off without me anyway.

Chris'll look out for you

a lot better than I ever could.

He's... He's got big plans for you.

Big future ahead of you.

You don't want me around messing things up for you.

Been doing that my whole life.

You're my dad!

-I mean...

-You don't need me.

You don't.

I'm not cut out for it, is all.

You'll be all right.

You'll be just fine.

-It's OK?

-It's great.

-It's my dad's.

-It's his room?

Look, I'm sorry about last night. I mean... The cab.

-It wasn't your fault.

-No, but...

-It's OK.

I mean... I think.

What about you?

-What about me?

-Are you OK?

I am now.

What's the matter? Have you never...

No, no, no, I have. It's not that.

It's just...your dad.

He's not here. I told you. He's never here.

-So...

-So...

Jinx. I've got you. I've got you right where I want you.

-Malachy...

-Thanks.

-Don't come inside me. All right?

-All right.

-All right.

Michelle...

What the fuck?!

-Get out!

-This is my room.

-Look, I'd better go.

-Oh, do you think?

What do you want me to do here?

I mean, what am I supposed to do in this situation? Hit the roof?

Chase him out the window? Is that what you want?

-I want you to leave me alone.

-You're not a kid any more.

As long as you're sensible you can do what you want,

make your own mistakes. As long as you take precautions.

I just would have hoped you'd have had a bit more taste, that's all.

What, like you have? Fucking the girls at work?!

Michelle...

Fucking Donna?!

-All right. Look, what I do in my private life...

-Donna!

-She's my friend. Dad, she's 15.

-16. She's 16.

And that makes it all right, does it? You're my dad.

Look, I didn't ask for any of this. It's not an ideal situation here.

-Yeah, cheers(!)

-But we're all grown-ups, or meant to be.

Can we at least try and act like it?

You know what? Fuck you.

Well, look, you know, Michelle, if this isn't working out

we're going to have to make another arrangement.

Why? Cramping your style, am I?

OK, I'll talk to your mother.

-I'm not going back.

-Well, do you think she'd have you?!

So what are you going to do?

Fuck him. I'm done with him.

From here on in, you're on your own.

It's going to mean a lot more responsibility.

Think you can handle it?

Good lad. Man of the house now, eh?

You play the game, Luke...

you play your cards right - big future ahead of you.

I'm telling you.

Cos I've got enough on my plate as it is.

More than enough.

Pretty soon I'm going to have to start offloading

some of my other responsibilities.

Let's keep it in the family, that's what I say.

I'll see you right.

Place to crash, money in your pocket.

What more do you want?

SHOWER RUNS

-Hi.

-Hi.

-Just wanted to tell you...

-Yeah?

You missed the boat, mate.

-What are you on about?

-Nah, I'm not going to tell you, man.

You can tell me everything, that's what you can tell me.

Come on, I want details, I want positions!

If there are photos, I want them. Or if there's a tape...

-Did you tape her?

-I never tape on the first date.

I pride myself on that fact.

-You're a gentleman.

-Fucking am, aren't I?

So come on, man, paint me the picture here. What's she like, is she dirty?

-I bet she's dirty. Is she dirty?

-Nah, no can do, man. Don't kiss and tell.

Come on, man, I tell you everything. I told you about the time Kelly Shiel stuck the finger up my arse.

Yes, and I did not wish to know that.

No way, man, you can't come in here with your big shit-eating grin on your face and tell me nothing!

OK, OK, I'll tell you one thing.

-Right, spill.

-OK...

-So just as I'm getting started...

-Yeah?

-I mean,

just as we're getting down to it... her old fella walks in.

-Dave?

-HE LAUGHS

-Fuck off!

-I swear.

-So hang on, hold up here.

-You didn't actually fuck her.

-Well, not as such.

-She sucked my cock.

-That doesn't count, man. That doesn't count.

-You had your chance and you blew it.

-She blew ME!

Sweet. This calls for a celebration.

PHONE BEEPS

-I'm at Luke's. Why, what's up?

-'I want to see you.'

Yeah... I mean, I want to see you too.

She's coming over.

So what are we talking about here? Three-way?

Cos I'm on for it if you are.

You wish.

Or a spit roast, maybe?

Look, the thing is, this girl...

I really like her, man.

You what?

Just... I like her.

Hi.

You got the alarm codes for the Leisureplex?

What?

Michelle!

Michelle, Michelle, Michelle.

We've been talking about it. Man to man, so to speak.

And if you think a three-way is the way to go, then so be fucking it.

You got 'em, or not?

Yeah. I mean - it's Sunday, the place is closed.

Don't mind me, just talk amongst yourselves, why don't you?

-Why do you want the codes?

-It's my fuckin' house.

Cos I got these.

-We're going to have a party.

-What's the occasion?

The occasion's my last night.

-You're going?

-Fuck! Already? You've only just got here.

-Yup.

And I'm going to go out with a bang,

give you all something to remember me by.

But I thought...

You thought what?

-Because I sucked your dick we're, like, boyfriend and girlfriend?

-No...

What is this, Jane Austen? Jesus, man, what age are you?

All right, fuck it, forget it, if you're going to be a dick about it.

Oh! Mal, Mal, Mal. I'm going to miss you.

So... Does this mean the three-way is out?

Who the hell knows? The night is young! Have you anything to drink?

I can do better than that!

Chris'll kill you.

Chris can fuck himself, he's not the boss of me.

Well, OK, he is, but... fuck him anyway.

What's up with you, you mopey fuck?

I don't know, she's... I don't know what's up with her.

Listen, you want to back out now...

no hard feelings. I'll understand.

I friggin' hate you sometimes.

Yeah? Well, get in the queue, sunshine. I hate me all the time.

I don't think we want this on tape, do you?

I blame the parents.

What do you need? Mates' rates.

Whoo!

He's off his head.

-He's got the right idea.

-Michelle...

do you have to leave?

Yeah. I do.

All right, so...

I mean, what if I came too?

-Serious.

-And what about Luke?

-Luke can take care of himself.

-You reckon?

So where would we go, in this great plan of yours?

I don't know. I mean, does it matter?

You don't even know me.

Come on in, doll, the water's lovely.

My turn.

Come on, now, fair's fair. You gave him a blowy. No offence.

When do I get a blow?

Boys, you can fuck each other, for all I care.

Well, it may yet come to that.

Piss off!

-Yeah?

-Yeah!

Michelle.

Ah, leave her.

-Get off me!

-She's playing you, man, she's yanking your chain.

Fuck off!

Michelle...is that what you want, then?

Me and Luke at each other's throats?

No.

HE SIGHS

Closing down sale. Everything must go.

Go on.

CAR APPROACHES

Michelle?

Michelle!

Michelle!

Michelle.

Michelle...

This is...this is beyond a joke!

Dave.

Don't! Don't even say a fucking word!

Get out.

Whoa! Wake up! Whoa!

Jesus, Michelle, get out.

Come on.

Stand up. Stand there!

Dad...

No, no...get off me.

Look at the state of you!

What?

Christ!

Who are you? What? What have you got to say, huh?

Leave him alone.

Come on, Scooby and Scrappy, I'll take the pair of you on.

Trying to run a business.

Trying to turn this place round.

Dad, stop!

-And you saw a card marked cunt!

-Dad, you're going to kill him!

On my own daughter!

Leave him alone!

Dad! Dad!

Dad, get up. Dad, Dad, get up!

COUGHING AND SPLUTTERING

Come on, we've got to get out of here.

Mal, Mal!

Come on, Mal.

We've got to get out of here.

No.

Mal!

I ain't going nowhere.

SOBBING

Mal, fuck's sake!

I'm 16, Luke.

So are you.

Look...you go if you want to.

Serious thing, man, go on.

You still have time.

'He was going to kill me.

'He could have killed me.'

If it wasn't for Luke...

If it wasn't for him...

He would have done the same for me.

In pain. He's my mate.

You know?

He's my friend.

He's my best friend.

# Goodbye, friend

# Where are they taking you?

# Somewhere south of the city

# And if they catch yous there I bet you're cashing in

# The future's looking pretty

# All on your own

# But I searched long

# And he had gone

# Stoned his pie, go another one

# It's time to quench the unquenchable

# Here's to the good times we had

# But the sad kid I choose

# Remembering the new

# Is melting my shoes to this town

# Chasing the odds

# And caved in my castles

# And snowed in my farm

# Keeping these other two

# So with my face to the ground

# Dozing this time

# I remain, I resist

# I retain the clenching fist

# And I recall like it was yesterday

# You burned bridges

# And spent all your riches in one

# So it's a goodbye, thanks a lot

# I can't make my eyes stop shut

# And that's goodbye to the 30 years

# It's back to the breadline

# Waltzing the fine line for me

# But the sack in our shoes

# Remembering you

# Is melting my shoes to this town

# Chasing the odds

# And caved in my castles

# And snowed in my farm

# I'm keeping these old routines

# Side of my face to the ground

# And toes in this town... #
