[EXHALES]

Oh, for f*ck's sake.

So, who wants to start?

Are you in charge?

No one's in charge. I'm

chairing the meeting.

Where's the stick?

What stick?

Don't you hold a stick

and whoever has it talks?

No. They do it on TV.

Well, we're not doing that.

How do we know when to speak?

You just speak.

Why don't you just tell us

what's on your mind love, hmm?

That's not the point.

This isn't about me.

That's a first.

I know you all

think it's a bit

Narcissistic?

Uncomfortable.

And to be honest,

it's supposed to be.

Telling the truth

is uncomfortable.

But it can also be very healing.

There are things going

on in this family

that need to be confronted.

What things?

That's not for me

to say. Come on.

No!

No, this isn't about

pointing the finger

or calling each other out.

If someone feels there's

something they haven't

been up front about,

it's up to them to say it.

This is a safe space.

It's the living room?

We'll be compassionate.

Siobhan, I don't understand.

Why don't we just see

what comes up, okay?

So, who would like to go first?

You go first.

Okay. Okay

Okay.

Okay, Mum

Oh, god. Do you

remember the time.

Dad crashed the

car on the motorway

and we had to get it towed?

Yeah. It wasn't Dad.

It was me. [GASPS]

I took your car when

you were at work.

I was I was drunk. Oh my God!

I was driving. I

[BERNIE: ]Oh, Jesus.

I lost control, hit a lamp-post.

Dad got to me before the

guards. He told them it was him.

[BERNIE: GASPS] Tom!

Jesus! That's a crime.

Yeah, it was years ago.

But it's a crime if

there's CCTV footage.

There was no CCTV footage.

Are you serious?

I'm really sorry, Mum.

Okay, so I've said my bit

You had three cracked

ribs around that time.

Is that how you?

Oh my god!

Come on Bernie, she's grand!

Look at her, she's grand!

She could have died!

I'm sorry, Mum.

I'm sorry, Mum, but

can I borrow some cash?

What? Oh, you cannot talk!

You live here for free.

Ah, I don't live here.

Dad built you a studio.

It's a glorified shed.

Do you pay rent?

Okay. So, I've said my bit

Why should I rent

pay for a shed?

Why should I pay rent

to live in Rathfarnham?

Nothing wrong with Rathfarnham.

Guys, come on! You

are such a snob.

And you're a disgusting

little rodent

out there in your sweat-box.

Can we just get back to

How could you have

been so irresponsible?

Have we not been through enough?

This is not why we're here.

Mum, Dad, while

we're being honest.

You know those guys that

come out of Ant's shed

who you so daintily refer

to as his 'friends'?

They're not his friends.

They're his f*ck boys. Okay!

At least I'm getting some.

Rory's probably f*cking

his Fitbit. [LAUGHS]

Dad's having an affair!

With Mina, his acupuncturist.

She also does reflexology.

I know, love.

Everyone knows.

Everyone knows what?

Your father and I

have an arrangement

Okay, you know what?

I'm gonna head.

This isn't a conversation

I need to have twice.

Me neither.

Great meeting, Shiv. Triumph.

[DOOR CLOSES]

I don't understand.

We've been married a long time.

We're realistic.

If your father wants to

see other people, he can.

If I want to see

other people, I can.

It's actually very French.

So, you're seeing

other people too?

Well no.

But it's nice to

have the option.

Uh

Anyway, it's not

serious with Mina,

is it, Tom?

No, no.

No. She's more of a companion.

She didn't look like a

companion yesterday when

they were riding the

arse off each other.

We bumped into

each other in town.

Anyway, that's your

father's business.

The point is, it works.

We're very happy.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Why didn't you tell me?

We thought you knew.

Why do you think you're

in granny's room?

Because of dad's back.

Oh, what, they made

that up just for me?

Look, we're all adults here.

Yes, Dad's boning Mina.

[SPITTING]

And yes, that's unpalatable,

and unsavoury and quite frankly,

just unbelievably gross.

But the fact is,

they're okay with it,

and it's their marriage.

What people do in

their relationships

is their own business.

So can we all just

grow the f*ck up?

[LAUGHTER]

[DOOR OPENS]

When was the last

time you saw Pam?

Pam?

Across the road?

No idea.

She was going to Mallorca,

but that was ages ago.

She's not answering my texts,

can't get her on the phone.

Maybe she stayed on for a bit.

Maybe.

[CAR BOOT CLOSES]

Tom? I thought it wasn't

serious with Mina.

It isn't.

Well, you know what we agreed.

Keep it casual,

keep it discreet.

Anybody could've

seen you in town.

I know. I'm sorry.

If you keep seeing her, she's

going to expect something.

Don't want her

getting her hopes up.

I'll finish it.

I think that's a good idea.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[TRAIN GLIDES BY]

Shiv? I'm Kristen.

Wow.

Sorry, I've never

seen a pregnant woman

ride a motorbike before.

No. Neither have I.

So this is our little space.

Our focus is contemporary

European art,

but we do also sell

very select pieces

of Danish furniture.

[DOOR OPENS]

It's an independent business,

so I do everything myself.

But I am going to

need some help.

[LAUGHS]

I'm really grateful

for the opportunity.

You can throw anything

at me. Oh, I will.

And err I do like your style.

Thanks.

But for the clientele

we deal with,

it's simpler just to wear black.

Oh, okay.

And maybe something more

understated for the jewellery.

Delicate hoops or little studs.

We don't want to distract

from the artwork!

Let me show you the office.

[ANT CHATTERING ON PHONE]

Sorry, guys. My colleague's

held up at another

err, viewing. Excuse me.

[JANGLES KEYS] Umm

It's worth the wait, promise.

[SHIV: ]How did

you get into this?

I studied fine art in Germany.

You're an artist? Oh, no.

[LAUGHS] Definitely not.

All that self-t*rture,

who has time?

Jack says you're very talented.

Did he? That's

That's nice of him.

Jack isn't nice about people,

especially other artists.

He's pretty good himself.

Oh, Jack's a genius.

You've worked with him?

I used to work with him.

Now I just f*ck him.

You what? It is so much easier

sleeping with an

artist than being one.

Sorry. Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I umm I just I

I didn't know that you and,

and so the baby's

his, it's Jack's baby.

Hasn't he told you anything?

I thought you two were mates?

Ah

We were close in college.

You'll join us for

dinner tonight?

Dinner, with you and umm?

He's coming in

before the opening.

We'll get a takeaway,

eat it here.

You know, I think

I'll just finish this.

[KRISTEN:] Oh, you must.

Otherwise you will be hungry.

This is the kitchen, obviously.

Patio, garden

Nice for barbies.

Can I check it out?

Go for it, yeah.

Barbies?

Bedrooms are just through

here. Both en suite.

So this is what

you're doing now?

I just started.

It's a shame.

At least waitering

was an honest living.

Speaking of honesty,

I didn't know you

were with somebody.

You didn't ask.

It must be serious if you're

buying a place like this.

Ah, yeah.

We love each other

very much, yeah.

I like it. Do you like it?

Yeah.

I think we could

be very happy here.

[PETER: ]So, do you want

to make an offer, or?

Yeah, let's do it.

[PETER: ]Okay. I'm calling Dad.

See if he'll come down here.

Keeping it in the family?

Are you jealous?

[TRAIN RUSHES PAST]

So, what drew you to Ireland?

[KRISTEN:] Jack.

I also own a gallery in Berlin.

I was a fan of his work

long before I saw him naked.

But he was such

a mess back then.

He was living in a van.

It wasn't a van. It

was a camper van.

You remember.

He would drive all

over the country,

wherever he felt like.

No home, no base.

Which was amazing.

At first I thought it was sexy,

this wild and free Irish man,

but then it was just disgusting

because the van,

it really smelled.

[LAUGHS] It didn't!

And it's not cool

for a grown man

to be living in a car and

wearing a leather jacket.

Oh, you have food on your face.

Thank you.

[KRISTEN: ]So we sold the van.

I introduced his work

to the European market

and the rest is history.

[PHONE RINGS]

Karen.

What's the big emergency?

Ouch!

No big emergency,

really, I just

I don't know how to get through

the next few hours without drink.

That's all. What?

Where are you?

[SHIV: ]At my new

job at the gallery.

Turns out to be owned by

my ex's new girlfriend,

which I didn't know, who

turns out to be eight

months pregnant,

which I didn't know and

I thought he might

have still liked me.

Now I have to spend

the next few hours

handing out wine and

cheese and beer

I'll be straight down.

[LIFT DOOR CHIMES]

Yeah. Just calling to say don't

worry about me for dinner.

I'll be late back.

Just a birthday drinks thing

with some girls from work.

I do like them.

Err, what are you doing tonight?

Oh Of course, yeah.

Well, have fun at the track

and don't wait up.

f*ck it.

Thought you'd changed your mind.

Nope.

[MAX:] So

What are you gonna

tell your boss?

That there was some

definite interest.

[LAUGHTER]

I want to see you again.

[WHISPERS:] You have my number.

I want to take you to dinner.

Dinner? Yeah.

You know, where people sit,

eat, and converse

Oh, dinner, cool.

So, how about it then?!

A proper date?

I should

I should probably get

this place cleaned up.

What is your problem?

Are you just not

interested, or?

You're just

You're just too nice.

Right.

[PARTY CHATTER]

Wine?

Back in the day we'd

have skulled that booze

and got the f*ck out of here?

Load of sh*t, right?

Guy's a fraud, doesn't

deserve an exhibition

You're having a baby.

Yeah. Why didn't you tell me?

There was a lot going on.

You kissed me at

my granny's wake.

So?

So you have a

pregnant girlfriend.

It was just a kiss, it

Why is it a big deal?

I'm not.

Kinda seems like you are.

No. No, I'm not.

I think you are.

[KRISTEN:] Jack!

Jack!

Say hi to Klaus.

He's asking for you.

Sure.

I didn't know you were

Caroline's sister.

I didn't know you knew Caroline.

Oh. She's wonderful.

You're so different.

So, how'd you think

your folks broached

the whole open

relationship thing?

Would you say your

dad mentioned it

and she went along with it,

or was it her suggestion?

Listen love.

Do you think it's a good idea

you working for this woman?

She's the only one

who gave me a job.

Yeah, but this whole

thing with your ex!

Oh, I can handle it.

Look, I was in shock earlier

because my relationship with

Jack has been, you know,

complicated. Yeah.

So's my relationship with vodka.

It's why we broke up!

No, I have clarity now.

He's having a baby.

He's moved on.

And so have I, you know?

Don't want any more drama.

Are you sure? Drunks

do love a bit of drama.

I'm a different person now.

I'm sober.

It's over.

Never trust a man in a hat.

You're so sexy.

You're so sexy.

Oh, I want this.

Me too.

[DAN: ]I'm married.

I don't care.

That is so hot.

Hurry up and get inside me.

That is so f*cking hot!

I want you.

Oh god Come on.

Oh, sh*t.

Yeah? Oh sh*t! Oh sh*t!

[DAN CRIES]

Are you okay?

[DAN SOBS]

You alright? Yeah.

Did you just?

Sorry.

No, it's fine.

Just give it a minute.

I might be able to

Yep. Sure.

[RUSTLING IN THE BIN]

Think we're out of luck.

Yeah, that's fine.

I should probably umm

Oh, for f*ck's sake

[SIGHS]

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[TOM: ]Bernie, are you there?

I'm in here!

[TOM GRUNTS]

It's over.

Sorry.
