Stay

Dermot: DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE FIRST MET?

Abbey: WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?

Dermot: WELL, DO YA?

Abbey: THE TIMELESS WAVES,

BRIGHT, SIFTING, BROKEN GLASS,

CAME GLINTING, SIFTING FROM THE AMERICAS.

Dermot: NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

NOT THAT PART. AFTER.

AT THE PUB.

Abbey: I DON'T KNOW. WE WENT FOR A PINT,

AND YOU WERE GOING ON AND ON AND ON

ABOUT OVERRATED HEANEY WAS UNTIL ANGIE TOLD YOU TO SHUT IT.

Dermot: WELL, YEAH.

BUT IT WASN'T HER WHO SET ME STRAIGHT.

Abbey: NO?

Dermot: IT WAS YOU

WHEN YOU DROPPED YOUR HAND ON MY KNEE.

Abbey: THAT I DID.

THAT I DID.

I USED TO DO SOME PREP WORK AT THE QUEEN OF TARTS.

Woman: THE WAGES HERE AREN'T WHAT THEY ARE IN GALWAY, YOU KNOW.

Abbey: OH, NO, NO. THIS WASN'T IN GALWAY.

THIS WAS BACK HOME.

Woman: THERE'S A QUEEN OF TARTS IN TORONTO?

Abbey: UM, ACTUALLY, I'M FROM MONTREAL,

BUT IT'S THE SAME THING.

Woman: HOW'S THE PROFESSOR?

Abbey: HE'S FINE.

Woman: LISTEN, ABBEY,

DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE A BIT OVER YOUR HEAD HERE?

Abbey: EXCUSE ME?

SURELY, THERE MUST BE SOME KIDS YOUR OWN AGE TO PLAY WITH, NO?

Dermot: HOW'D IT GO?

Abbey: SHE WANTS TO HIRE SOMEBODY LOCAL.

Dermot: OH, YOU'RE LOCAL. YES?

Abbey: WHATEVER, DERMOT.

Dermot: WHAT'S WRONG?

DID YOU FORGET YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR IN TOWN?

HMM?

WHAT IS THIS?

Abbey: VITAMIN C, DERMOT. IT'S CALLED VITAMIN C.

Dermot: UH, "VIT-IMIN" C.

IT'S CALLED "VIT-IMIN" C, ABBEY, IN THIS COUNTRY.

YOU KNOW, JUST AS WELL THAT IT DIDN'T WORK OUT.

'CAUSE THAT WOMAN GIVES ME THE CREEPS.

WANT A DRINK?

NOW, LISTEN, THERE'S NO NEED

FOR YOU TO BE WORKING AT BRIDGE HOUSE.

I'VE ENOUGH MONEY FOR THE TWO OF US.

Abbey: OH, I KNOW.

I KNOW. I KNOW.

I JUST FEEL LIKE I SHOULD CONTRIBUTE...MORE.

Dermot: I CAN THINK OF WAYS FOR YOU TO CONTRIBUTE...MORE.

AU NATUREL.

Abbey: OH.

STOP IT, YOU FILTHY, FILTHY OLD MAN.

LET ME FINISH IN HERE ALONE.

AND WILL YOU TAKE THOSE DAMN BOOTS OFF?

I JUST SWEPT.

DERMOT?

Dermot: AYE.

Abbey: DO YOU EVER THINK MAYBE IT'S TIME TO GROW UP?

Dermot: WELL, I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU'VE RELOCATED YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR.

Abbey: NO. I'M SERIOUS.

Dermot: WHAT ON EARTH FOR?

I'VE GOT ALL NEED RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW --

BEER, CRISPS, YOU.

PERFECT.

Abbey: PERFECT.

OH, PERFECT.

Sean: SHIT.

Liam: HOW WAS SCHOOL?

Sean: GRAND. HOW WAS WORK?

Liam: GRAND.

Sean: NEITHER DO YOU, SO...

Marge: SCHOOL.

THANKS, LIAM, AS ALWAYS,

FOR BEING SUCH A HELP AROUND THE PLACE.

Dermot: DID YOU KNOW THAT CHILI IS NOT MEXICAN AT ALL.

THEY JUST MAKE IT FOR THE BLOODY TOURISTS.

Abbey: I BOUGHT SOME SALAD? HOW 'BOUT SOME SALAD?

Dermot: ALL RIGHT.

ALTHOUGH, THERE'S A STORY

ABOUT BEAUTIFUL SISTER MARY AGREDA OF SPAIN

WHO'D GO INTO THESE TRANCES --

-Abbey: OH. -Dermot: DARLING.

DON'T WORRY.

WHY BOTHER WITH THE REST OF THIS STINKIN' WORLD?

Abbey: WHY BOTHER?

WHY BOTHER?

HAS IT EVER OCCURRED TO YOU

THAT MAYBE I'M A LITTLE BIT TOO YOUNG

TO BE HOLED UP IN THIS DUMP AT THE END OF THE WORLD?

HAS IT?

NO.

NO, I DIDN'T THINK THAT IT HAD.

HELLO?

ARE YOU ALMOST DONE POUTING?

Dermot: ALMOST.

Abbey: I'M SORRY.

IT'S NOT A DUMP.

IT'S CUTE.

Dermot: I'M GLAD WE AGREE ON SOMETHING.

Abbey: BUT I AM THINKING ABOUT GOING HOME FOR A BIT.

Dermot: HOME?

I THOUGHT YOUR HOME WAS HERE WITH ME?

Abbey: IT'D BE GOOD FOR US.

GET SOME PERSPECTIVE ON THINGS.

Dermot: SUIT YOURSELF, THEN.

Marge: HEY, SEAN!

Sean: COME ON. COME ON.

HEY!

THERE YOU GO.

Dermot:

HEY, EILEEN.

Eileen: HIYA.

THERE YOU GO.

ACH, THEY JUST NEVER LET UP, DO THEY?

WE HAVEN'T EVEN PAID THE LAST BILL YET.

Eileen: AH, BUT WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT ELECTRICITY, HUH?

Dermot: IN THE DARK, MRS. McGILLOWAY. IN THE DARK.

OH, THOSE LEMON SQUARES

POSITIVELY...

EDIBLE.

Eileen: I TOLD YA.

Dermot: THE PRICK!

ABANDONING THIS PLACE LIKE IT'S A PAIR OF OLD SHOES.

LOOK! LOOK AT THE STATE OF THIS PLACE.

Abbey: I KNOW, BUT IT'S NOT LIAM'S FAULT

THAT HIS BANKER WENT BANKRUPT.

Dermot: I TOLD -- I TOLD HIM NOTHING GOOD WOULD COME

AT DESTROYING THE COUNTRYSIDE.

I TOLD HIM THAT AGES AGO.

BUT, OF COURSE, NOBODY LISTENS TO WHAT I'VE GOT TO SAY.

NO. WHY WOULD THEY?

I THOUGHT YOU LOVED IT HERE.

I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME.

Abbey: STOP BEING SUCH A DRAMA QUEEN.

I'M ONLY GOING BACK FOR A VISIT, NOT TO STAY.

Dermot: BUT WHY? WHY NOW?

Abbey: BECAUSE IT'S BEEN AGES.

AND IT'S TIME.

IT'S TIME.

ALL RIGHT?

Dermot: ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

Abbey: OH, IT'LL BE SO NICE TO SEE DAD.

AND LISA.

I MISS THEM SO MUCH.

Dermot: NOT AS MUCH AS I'LL MISS YOU.

Abbey:

ISN'T ABSENCE SUPPOSED TO MAKE THE HEART GROW FONDER?

Dermot: NO NEED FOR THAT.

IF YOU --

YOU FEEL THE NEED TO DECEIVE ME,

AT LEAST PUT A DECENT EFFORT INTO HIDING THE EVIDENCE.

Abbey: I WAS GONNA TELL YOU.

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, I WAS GONNA TELL YOU.

I JUST DIDN'T -- I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT --

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

Dermot: HOW ABOUT, "HEY, DERMOT, I'M PREGNANT."

Abbey: WELL, Y-Y-YEAH, BUT --

Dermot: BUT WHAT?

BUT -- YOU -- OH, YOU WANT TO KEEP IT?

Abbey: NO! NO, ACTUALLY.

I-I DON'T. I M-- WELL --

-Dermot: WELL, WHAT? -Abbey: WELL --

Dermot: I TOLD YOU RIGHT FROM THE START HOW I FELT ABOUT THE BABY THING.

IT'S JUST NOT FOR ME.

I WAS VERY HONEST ABOUT THAT.

UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE IT SEEMS.

Abbey:

Dermot:

WE NEED TO FIGURE THIS OUT, ABBEY.

Abbey: OKAY.

Dermot: WILL YOU MARRY ME?

Abbey: WHAT ABOUT THE BABY?

Dermot:

YOU SEE, THAT'S EXACTLY THE PROBLEM

WITH HAVING A BABY.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BLOODY BABY.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT.

I'M TALKING ABOUT US -- YOU AND ME.

WHAT ARE YOU -- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

COME -- COME ON.

WILL YOU GET I--

OKAY. OKAY.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT THING ABOUT THE BABY.

BUT LOOK WHAT HAPPENED WITH SOPHIE.

IF SHE'D ONLY --

Abbey: WHAT?

IF SHE'D ONLY WHAT?

IF SHE'D ONLY LISTENED TO YOU, SHE WOULD STILL BE ALIVE?

IS THAT REALLY WHAT YOU THINK?

Dermot: A-ABBEY, LISTEN. LISTEN. LISTEN.

I'M SORRY. I-I --
