Hello?

Dad?

- Hi.

I wasn't expecting you.

I only arrived down today, sorry.

I should have rung.

- I'm about to eat. Come in.

I didn't quite hear the door,
the telly's on.

Hmm. You're fine.

- This is how my weekend goes.

I throw something into the micro.

- Could do worse.
- It's handy, that's all.

Do you want a beer?

- I'm grand.
- Well, there's wine there as well.

- Um, I'm fine.

- Any news from Dublin?

- Uh, Megan's moved out.

How did she leave the place?

- Fine. Yeah, she's very quiet.

- We'll have to get someone in
to replace her.

Hmm.

I-I'll start looking when I get back.

No, you're fine. No great rush.

- You watch that.

- I'll dry those when you're done.

- Yeah.

Interesting statistic from halftime.

- I'm away there.
- Are you?

I haven't been much company.

- That bin needs taking out.

I'll see to it now.

You're alright for money, by the way?

I can lodge a bit extra if you want.

so it should be fine.

- There's no problem.

I'll lodge it to your account tonight.

See you soon.

- Why did you leave
so early the other night?

- I was wrecked.

- That all?

- Why?
- Seemed a bit odd. I don't know.

- I wasn't. I was just tired.

- It was already bright when I left.

- Did you have fun?

- You could say that.

- Why are you smiling?

- I kissed Melissa.

- What?
- I know, it was stupid.

We were both drunk,

but it was after you left
out in the garden.

- Like a full kiss?

- Yeah.

We'd been flirting the whole time
and it just... happened.

- And have you talked to her since?

- We texted.
She thinks it's funny.

- Right.

- What?

- Nothing.

And should I ever...

Are you pissed off with me?

No.

Why would I be pissed off?

I don't know.
You're hard to predict sometimes.

Or do you disapprove of me
kissing a married woman?

- I don't disapprove.

- That's not what your face is saying.

Did you do anything exciting
at the weekend?

Uh... I went to the cinema.

With who?

- Uh... I like watching films on my own.

How was the big party on Friday?

- Good.

- I don't think that sort of thing
is my scene, to be honest.

What?

- Like you'd have k*lled children
to get invited, Philip.

I kissed someone I shouldn't have, though.

- Who?
- Uh--

It doesn't matter.

Was it Bobbi?

- No, but--

- Well, was it better or worse
than if it had have been Bobbi?

- Worse.

Significantly so.

- Shite.

Who?
- Just forget about it.

- Fine.

Older or younger?
- Philip.

Sorry.

- Hi.

I'm not really sure about this.

- I liked his last one a lot, actually.

Thank you.

- Thanks.

Bobbi. Look.

Aah!

- Does my face look shiny?

- A bit.

In a good way, though,
it makes you seem less complicated.

She is so hot.

- ...because it doesn't really matter.

The point of the hierarchy
is only to give people

a measurement of how well
they're doing in the structure,

which is, after all, only a perception

on the part of
a small group of other people

who within their own
selective and collective consciousness

are conforming to
a wider set of hierarchical--

- Well, what did you think?

- Good. He's clever.

Maybe not enough for me to buy a book.

You never buy the book, Kieran.

- Right.

I better head.

Good luck in London.

- Thank you.
- You going with her?

- I have to stay and mind the dog.

- Oh.

- Goodbye.
- See you.

- Hey.
- Hi.

- I had a feeling you'd be here.

Excuse me. Sorry.

- Dreading it, were you?
- Not at all.

- It's good to see you.

- Thanks.

- Sorry if this is awkward.

- It isn't.

How have you been?

f*cking brilliant.

- I could apologize again.

- Please don't.
- Okay.

- Although we should probably
talk about it at some point.

- Yeah.

- Maybe I could call over?

- Yeah.

I'd like that.

We'll see you when you're back.

- Yes, absolutely.

- Safe travels.

- Good to see you.
- I'll see you.

- Yeah.

Bye.
- Bye.

- Do you think there's something weird
going on between those two?

- Why?
- I sensed a disconnect, that's all.

Do you think she told him we kissed?

- They seem the same to me.

- Hmm. We're not going home, by the way.
