What the hell are you doing now ?
This recipe says three medium carrots,
and l just think this one is a little large to be classified as medium.
And if you look at these two,
they're clearly medium, while this one is slightly...
Watch.
Three medium-sized carrots.
You know, l don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to be precise.
Okay.
Well, then you must be very,
very precise.
Here's an idea.
Why don't you stop trying to control everything in the known universe?
It's dinner. Have a little faith.
It'll all work out.
Heard that one before.
Well, maybe you should have listened.
Really? You think?
It'll all work out. My dad was the king of ''it'll all work out.''
Time shares in the Bahamas, mobile video stores,
whatever the next big nothing was,
all our money went right after it.
But don't worry. It'll all work out.
Cut to me working two part-time jobs after school
and us getting our house repossessed on Christmas Eve. Ho, ho, ho.
So you will forgive me if l don't listen.
I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
A father's someone you should be able to rely on, you know?
Anyway, dinner.
We have got cabbages, a leek,
three medium carrots.
You're not one of those vegetarians, are you?
No.
Good.
Declan one, chicken nil.
Sweet.
Coq au vim?
What?
Give me strength.
Don't start telling me that you've never had chicken stew before.
Of course l have.
I'm wondering where it is that you think chickens come from.
The freezer section.
l know, l know. l...
You just surprised me.
You keep doing that.
Give me the carrots.
Yes, carrots.
Sorry.
We build up the temperature a little bit.
You don't need to chop them. It's hard to hold.
That smells amazing.
Good girl. And...
So this is what you call staging, is it?
Sort of.
Not too shabby.
Here? Yeah.
Impeccable.
The chicken was wonderful.
Wasn't it? And I'm usually awful at chicken.
Jeremy always says l make it too dry.
Jeremy?
Oh!
Jeremy. Our...
Our next door neighbor.
Who sometimes comes by for dinner.
Right, Declan?
Mmm. Yeah, yeah. He's a lovely old soul.
Yeah.
A little bit learning difficulties, you know.
Tells everyone he's a cardiologist. It's a scream.
But he's a happy chap, you know.
He's got a little thing, bless him, for her.
Antique, Frank?
Antique, yeah. Like me.
Wedding present, they were.
It's only 44 years, you cheeky rascal!
See? That's what it takes to be married for 44 years.
The kiss.
Always kiss like it's the first time and the last time.
Grand.
Well, come on then, son.
Show us old ones how it's done.
Sorry?
Well, I've kissed my wife.
Stefano has certainly kissed his wife.
No, we're fine. We did it earlier, kiss.
Done and dusted.
A bit of chivalry, man. You know what I'm saying?
Oh! That's perfect.
lf that was a kiss, I'm surprised you're still wed to him at all.
No, no, they're shy, that's all.
Yes. Really shy.
You're among friends!
You're young, married, in love!
Anyone can see that.
Damn it, man.
Kiss the girl!
Brayo! There you go.
Now that's a kiss!
It's quite wet.
Show a little mercy, would you?
All right.
But one snore and you're back in the shower.
Great.
Who'd have thought it'd take two days to get to Dublin?
l have to charge you an overnighter, by the way.
Surprise.
100. Fifty.
Seventy-five it is. Running total 675.
Fine. If it's all about money for you, then 675 it is.
Good night.
Night.
I'm so sorry I'm not there yet.
You can't imagine what I've been through.
Worse than when they lost our luggage in Barbados?
Like that times 10.
l just... l just can't wait to see you.
Well, maybe this will cheer you up.
l just heard from the board, and we got the apartment!
What? Yeah.
l just got off the phone with Edith. It's ours.
Ah! Jeremy!
That is exactly what l needed to hear this morning.
Everything is working out for us. I'm so excited.
We'll have to celebrate in person when you get here.
We sure will.
Hurry up already. I miss you.
l miss you, too.
Morning.
Yeah.
Oh, is this for me?
Yeah.
Morning, lovebirds!
Sleep well, did you?
Yes, thank you.
So, what's on the agenda today, then?
Mmm. Off to Dublin for me.
Well, you can't do that now.
Why not?
This is Sunday.
Never start a journey on a Sunday, or a full moon.
Oh, well, l don't believe in that superstition stuff.
How are you on train timetables? Do you believe in them?
Sunday.
No trains.
No trains? No.
Oh! For God's sake.
l have to be in Dublin by the 29th. That's tomorrow.
Why is that again, darling?
Fine. Okay.
Frank, you have a car, don't you?
Oh, yes. Yes.
Okay. l could...
l would be willing to pay you a substantial amount of money
if you would maybe drive me.
No.
Oh! It's not the money, girl. It's Eileen.
She's got it. Gone to Mass.
Then the weekly shop, you know.
Okay, well, then when she's back, you...
She won't be back till all hours.
Why?
It's a fair old jaunt to Dublin.
Where is she?
Dublin.
Bingo!
What?
Bus station's that way.
What?
Knock it off.
It's hailstones.
Are you serious?
Ow! Run!
Come on. It's fecking Murphy's Law with you.
Come on!
l got Louis. Don't worry.
Ow!
Those sting!
The size of golf balls!
Jesus Christ!
Is Lord.
Have you any just cause or impediment why this man and this woman
should not be joined together in holy matrimony?
No, no, Father. You carry on.
I'm sure that they know what they're doing.
Good. In that case, you're very welcome. Why don't you sit down?
Come on. Dublin. We should be making tracks.
No. The priest is gonna give us a ride
to the bus station when it's over.
We can walk!
I'm not walking another four hours in these shoes.
Besides, look how beautiful it all is.
l kind of hate weddings.
Why? Because people are in love? That's so offensive to you?
Yeah.
You know,
you have all of these random opinions and a bad attitude.
What do you know? You're clearly not married,
and you have obviously never been engaged.
Actually, l have.
Once.
l don't want to interrupt a good party,
but l want to say thank you to my husband.
l want to say, may you never steal, lie or cheat.
But if you must steal,
then steal away my sorrows.
And if you must lie,
lie with me all the nights of my life.
And if you must cheat, then please cheat death,
because l couldn't live a day without you.
Cheers!
Are you all right?
Grand. You know, it's just hot in there.
Do you want to talk about it?
Listen,
Bob.
You're not in America now.
You're in Ireland. So, have a drink.
Shut up.
l was just trying to help.
Help? Yeah.
That's hilarious.
The woman who's so desperate, she's diddly-eying her way to Dublin,
making the most important decision of her life
based on some ridiculous tradition,
which, frankly, is a load of old poo.
So, thank you, but it's not l who needs the help, okay?
It is not a load of poo.
It's romantic.
It's really, really romantic.
I'm not good at weddings.
They're better with a couple martinis.
Okay, thank you very much!
We're going to do a special request now for the bridesmaids.
Want a go?
No. No, l don't... l don't Riverdance.
Do you never let your hair down, woman?
Yes.
In my way, l do.
Good.
Now, this is an easy one. You'll pick it up. Just follow them.
We're going in a circle going that way.
No, no, put me down!
I'm really sorry.
l was spinning.
Forget about it. At least it wasn't my husband.
Yeah. Right. At least it wasn't him.
I'm...
l thought l was bad at weddings.
Aren't you supposed to be taking me to Dublin?
Well, just tell me when. As ever, your servant awaits.
You know what, Declan?
Do you know what you are?
Mmm-hmm.
You're a beast.
You're a real
beast.
Hmm.
And l cannot stand you.
Really? Mmm-hmm.
But you know what?
I'm onto you.
Is that right?
All your beastishness is like...
It's an act.
It's a great, big, massive cover-up.
And you growl and you snap, but you are in...
You're in pain.
And you've got a...
You've got a big thorn in your beasty paw.
Like a lion.
A lovely, lovely lion.
Great. I'm sorry.
That's romantic.
Up you come. Up!
God, you're a lump.
My suitcase!
Don't worry about Louis. I'll get him.
You're joking me.
Perfect.
You can deduct the coffee from my bill.
Deduct away. Don't forget to add on for a new pair of shoes,
Pukey.
Put them in the wash, they'll be grand.
You missed your bus.
There's another one in 20 minutes.
Oh, God. Am l still coming with you?
l am paying you to take me to Dublin
and you're taking me to Dublin.
That's fine. Thank you.
He's out.
l left a message with the front desk.
So, Dublin.
Right on time.
So l suppose l should pay you.
l suppose you should.
There'll be an at the hotel.
Right, so I'll be portering again, will l?
Not if you don't want to.
l didn't say that.
We can get a cab.
You've got legs, haven't you, woman?
My best feature, so I'm told.
Who told you that?
It's a beautiful city.
And l haven't seen one backstabbing snake.
Yeah, well, it's the chancers and cheats that you have to watch out for.
She's here, isn't she?
In Dublin. One of the chancers and cheats.
The blonde in the photo.
Who was the guy?
Oh!
So him and her...
Right.
Sorry.
We were all running the Caragh together, me, Kaleigh, Ryan.
So we bought the pub and built it up from nothing.
We really got it going. l mean, we were flying.
And l thought that me and Kaleigh were mad for each other.
Apparently not.
So that thing I'd grab if l had 60 seconds,
it's my mother's Claddagh ring.
You know, the ones with the two hands holding the crowned heart.
Mmm-hmm.
Well, she's got it.
Well, you're here now. You should find her and get it back.
l don't know.
It's your mother's ring.
Anyway, l thought it was your ring
we were meant to be worrying about.
Diddly-eye.
Oh, yeah. Right.
Well, I'm glad to see you're finally on board.
It has nothing to do with me. I'm just the old bag carrier around here.
Why should l care?
So you don't?
Would it make a difference?
Come on.
So.
So.
Here. Nah, it's okay.
Declan, take it. We had a deal. Please?
Tell you what. Why don't you just give me that one bob and we'll call it a day?
Which one bob?
The one we flipped for the bed.
Yeah.
Liar.
Well, best of luck. Yeah.
So long, Louis.
Anna.
Yes?
Anna! Anna!
Hi! Finally. God.
l thought l was gonna have to call a helicopter rescue team to come get you.
Where have you been? Hi. Hey.
Long story. Sorry.
It's good to see you.
You okay? Yeah? Mmm. Yeah.
Hi.
I'm sorry, do l know you?
Oh!
Jeremy, this is Declan. Declan drove...
He helped me get from *** to Dublin.
Oh! Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, l don't envy that job.
This lady is not big on adventure.
No.
Nice to meet you, bro.
Nice to meet you. Yeah. Yeah.
So did she take care of you?
Did you tip him?
Oh!
She paid me.
Great. Well, thanks for getting her home safe.
Oh, God, l missed you! l missed you! l missed you! l missed you!
