Giro City

.

love.

Well, .

37, take one.

Hello mother Martin.

I'm glad to be back, I think.

Nice to have you, Soph.

Any sign?

There's a car.

I can see it.

If you'll just stand on that mark that I showed you,

Mr. Davies. - Yes.

They're coming. They're coming.

OK, let's turn over.

off.

Get off my land.

OK, .

Knows the exact legal position.

Well no, I mean that is one of the problems.

Pan right.

.

Our responsibility was only to re-house you.

And we have .

You promised me, the council promised me

that I could buy this property.

And that's the end of that.

And you know what you can do with your eviction order

as well.

That's the third time they've been to visit us.

I'm getting fed up.

You got everything you wanted?

Because they were a right pair of asses, they were.

You heard that bit when he threatened me?

Listening to it now.

They didn't know they were being filmed.

They'd never have said that.

Did you get everything?

Yes, it's all in there.

I don't know whether I want to carry on with this, honestly.

I may as well pack it in now.

Oh, don't say that, Mr. Davis.

Stick with it.

We're on your side.

Trust me.

Oh come on, we've gone too far now.

OK?

Yeah.

OK.

I'll give you a decision as soon as I find O'Mally.

Don't teach your grandmother to suck eggs.

I know all about scheduling.

Well for Christ's sake, you're supposed to be helping us.

How am I supposed to know where he is?

Where's O'Mally?

I'm just getting him, Martin.

He's with his kids.

Mummy's here.

Off you go.

Love you, daddy.

Well tell the crew to hang on.

And be nice to them.

Christ, they've gone in overtime already

and I haven't left the bloody office.

Hello. Hold on.

O'Mally.

Now look here, O'Mally, I've had a film crew

waiting around all day for you.

Is the story on?

The story is on, so don't fuss, you old woman.

Look, I can't talk now.

The ex dragon's just returned.

I'll give you a bell for my place when I get the call.

OK.

We wait.

We wait.

Hello, reception.

.

I'll see you next weekend.

Now you look after yourselves.

Sandra.

Yeah, hold the line please.

It's James for you.

Tell him I'm busy.

I'll ring him back later.

Well it sounds urgent.

OK.

Put him through.

Actually, here's Martin now.

James for you.

James.

Sophie's Welsh film, yeah, she's in Wales

at the moment shooting.

Well, it's about corruption to some extent, yes.

It's more of an observation.

You know, woman's eye view.

That's why I sent Soph.

Well of course I've seen the rushes.

Look, this isn't something we should be discussing

over the phone, is it?

No.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thursday, Theater, 3 o'clock.

OK.

All right, James.

Yeah?

MAN (ON PHONE): Your instructions are in the hall.

Great.

Great, Martin, can I talk to you about the survivor story?

Later Brigitte, I'll talk to you later.

Who do they think we are?

The Rockefeller Foundation?

There's no way I can justify sending a crew to Dublin to sit

on their ass for two days while Irish friends check

out their security.

That's a load of bollocks, Martin, and you know it.

Blackmail.

So it's blackmail.

You either want the story or you don't.

You know I want the story.

Wednesday.

You fly out Wednesday O'Mally. Hear me?

Wednesday it is.

Nerve coming up to my farm like this.

Right, that's enough.

Yes?

I want to introduce Mr. Jones.

I don't care who he is.

I don't care who he is.

The position is the same.

I am not moving.

The council has a right to evict you, in fact.

I don't use the word.

But in fact, the council has a right

to evict you from this property because you

don't actually legally--

It's my life you're talking about, my home, my own house.

Yes, I understand.

Oh, bugger off.

Go on, get off my land.

Now, the position is that the council is prepared and has

offered you a very good deal at a nice little house

in the village.

Listen, as far as I'm concerned, .

You promised me that I could buy this house.

Because in fact the legal ownership of the land

now lies with somebody else.

Is this a reconstruction?

I've got two children.

No.

Sound quality is very good.

We radio miked Mr Davies.

All right, bugger off.

That's enough of that.

Council, they think they own every damn thing.

Up till three years ago, everything was fine.

Then some of the big farms were sold off for good prices.

We thought it was a European multinational company

moving in here.

Then they started buying off the little tenant farms.

I'm the only one left now.

See, they own the land and they want me off it.

I don't really know what's going to happen to the wife and kids.

Mr. Davies has a marvelous face.

Don't you think so, James?

Beautiful voice.

Like his mother, Gerwyn and his two cousins

suffer from a congenital handicap which

has left them partially deaf.

Annie, however, is completely free of handicap.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Why was Annie laughing?

She'd forgotten her cousins are deaf.

Ah yes, I see.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

I hope you're all enjoying yourselves.

Now before we continue with the next dance,

may I introduce you to a very old friend of yours

and a very old friend of mine, none other than Mr. Williams.

Thank you.

carry on with your lovely dancing.

I must say that it's good to be here amongst all of you--

Shut up, sit down.

And gentlemen, local councilor

and also a member, as you know, of the allotment

committee and--

Why don't you award the first place to yourself, boy?

Shut up.

What I'd like to say is the allotment committee have done

me the great honor to ask me to be here to present

marvelous annual dance.

Look, you're not going to listen to this rubbish,

are you?

Look here, he's a councilor.

And what do all councilors do?
