Am I breaking the law, am I? Yes actually, you're drunk and incapable.
We are detaining you for your own safety.
? Always on the defense? ? Think it's just my reflex? This isn't funny any more, lads.
Hello? We're not going to let you out unless it's into the care of someone who is sober.

? Deeper down we go? ? Under leaves and snow? ? Strangers to The vernal season? ? That we once knew? ? Trouble holds the fort? ? Here in your chateau? ? The wire's cut and no one's Knocking your door? ? When the circle's Getting worn? ? You're feeling cheerless And forlorn? ? The sunny day Becomes a thorn.
.
? How's it coming along? Great.
I'm at the part now where I hate absolutely everything about it.
Did you get your offer? No, but you obviously did.
Did you get San Francisco? Yeah.
Ferg, I'm so happy for you like.
You're going to take America by storm, Are you okay? Yeah, totally fine.
Okay, well, you can tell me about the eye whenever you want, I'll be down here.
? The sunny day Becomes a thorn? ? In your blue eye? ? Rock the boat? ? Make a wave? ? Jump on overboard? ? Break away Break away? Ugh.
Mm-hmm ? Signs but no road? ? Acres but no growth? ? Reception's good? ? But no one's Calling no more? Put this on it.

This is really fuckin'good, Danielle.
Look at the state of her, this is carnage.
Hmm I have to go, I'll be back.
Are you okay? Yeah, I just need to check on something.
Aisling, are you home? Aisling? Aisling? Yeah What happened? It's fine, it doesn't matter.
Shit, I hit you.
I'm so sorry.
Are you going somewhere? No, we are.
I'm only home for lunch.
Can you not take the rest of the day off? I think we should get out of the city.
Aisling, I've so much to do like.
We deserve a break.
And the fresh air will do us good.
Here, I got us these.
I ate mine.
And where are we going? It's a surprise.
? From there it gets low? ? Give it time? ? We'll find out? ? If we kiss? Should we be embarrassed that we can't keep up with pensioners? Yeah.
This is amazing like.
Come on.
-Look, look I am looking.
How was Mallow anyway? Grand, same.
It's a dive like.
I met Bobby, briefly like.
He's tee total now.
Last year it was gluten, now it's alcohol.
Dragging up the past, you're basically self-harming there like.
I wasn't talking to him for long.
Do you know where we're going? Not really.
Just following the path.
Let's find somewhere we can eat.
If we can find somewhere that's not looking like a crime scene.
It's pretty creepy, all right.
Why do women come up here with strangers like? I think they're forced.
It's Bonnie and Clyde or Laurel and Hardy that stole the car? Thelma & Louise, and they had excitement of driving off a cliff, not rolling slowly towards the sea.
I can't believe this is on our doorstep.
Here, will you take a picture? Ah now, for what? Ferg.
He wants to know where we're gone.
Aah If you ever go missing, that's definitely the photo they'll use.
Yeah.
Will you pass me an apple, please? There's only one apple.
Lob it over.
Is Ferg weak for you? No, we're just really good friends, not that I've been a good friend recently.
I know, yeah.
I meant to Ferg because I'm always ditching him.
I know that's what you meant.
I was saying, I know.
Are you itching for a fight again? No like! Do you want some apple? Is this still about your eye like? Oh, don't push me, Aisling.
Don't push you? Who do you think you are, my mother? Well, that's what it feels like.
Whatever is going on with you is not my problem.
I never said it was, Danielle, I just asked you to hand me an apple.
I missed you at the weekend, you're always with Ferg now.
I am not with Ferg.
I'm not with him half as much as I want to be.
And you didn't miss me because you were always calling me.
I did miss you and it's slack you don't miss me.
You don't know what it's like to miss people.
You use people as distractions.
Like this today.
You made me miss college where I want to be, where I've worked my ass off to get to.
Wasting 4,000 euro a year learning how to color in? Hanging out with Ferg, hoping his talent will rub off on you.
I'm leaving.
Yeah, go on.
Leave.
Leave me here on my own so I can get murdered in a deserted forest.
Oh, yeah, because I forget it's all about you.
We're here because it's what you wanted.
We go to Nandos because it's what you want.
You sit on the comfy seat because it's what you want.
We go to fucking Nandos because you never suggest anywhere else.
You think this is what I want? Trying to make myself as bland as possible so you don't pale even further in comparison.
Don't blame me for your inability to make decisions.
Oh, I'm bland, is it? Because I haven't been arrested for being drunk, is it? You have a fucking problem, Aisling.
I should have let you go to work today and get fired.
At least I have a job to get fired from.
What are you going to do? Paint pictures at the side of Stephen's Green for people? Yeah, enjoy coloring in.
? I'm glad I don't know? ? Where you go? ? Where you go? ? When you're lonely? ? I would only meet you there? ? I'm glad I don't see? ? What you see? ? When you need Someone to hold you? Ferg? Ferg, hi.
Ferg, you have to come and collect me.
Ferg, can you hear me? Ferg, like Fuck.
Shit.
? I'm glad I don't see? ? What you see? ? When you need Someone to hold you? Danielle! ? I would only meet you there? ? I would only meet you there? ? I would only meet I would only meet you there? ? I would only meet you there? ? I would only meet I could never keep you there? I have no signal and the bus is gone.
What are we going to do? ? I could never Keep you there? I'll call Taxi Good.
? I could never Keep you there? ? On the first floor? ? I could never Keep you there? Hello, Taxi Good? It's Aisling.
Can you come and collect us, please? Somewhere in the mountains.

You know, awful things happen up the mountains these days.
We can go to the guards.

It's just an emotional day.
Boy trouble Something like that.
Is your mam okay? Yeah.
Are they happy? I think so.
Well, then that's all that matters.
I'm going to Vancouver for a semester next year, and I'm really excited about it.
I wanted to tell you but I was afraid you'd convince me not to go.
Ah, it was the best decision I ever made.
Put you straight out of business, wrong car.
But, you know, we're like a team.
You can't have a weak link in a short chain, do you hear me? Will you drop me to my friend's house and then drop her home? Sure.
Thanks.
Thanks.
She'll pay.
Huh? She never has any money.
If she doesn't pay, call around tomorrow and I'll have it.
Go on.
-Thanks.
Taxi Good, will you make sure she actually gets inside the house? Don't worry.
-Thanks.
Are you all right there, love? Wakey-wakey, love.
We're here.
Where is Danielle? She wanted to go to her friend's house.
Are you okay, chicken? No, I'm not.
