SOFT LAUGH

Jack Corcoran

still on the dry.

Ah, good to have a clear head

for all this custody sh*t.

What's happening now?

Family courts, solicitors.

Not pretty,

but I'm not having Stevie thinking

I'm not putting up a fight.

You've really taken to

this whole father thing.

Well, no, I didn't

see it coming.

JACK LAUGHS

Me neither.

Oh, she just makes me laugh.

I could be having the shittiest

day, reading the worst review,

and I hang out with Stevie,

and it all just goes away.

She's like the best drug ever.

And I want my daughter to know that

there are good men in the world.

Men who'll have her

back and respect her.

I want to be that man for her.

I know I haven't always been

especially to you.

But I've changed.

Well, I hope it

works out for you.

So, what about this

guy of yours, then?

Is that working for you?

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, you know, it's

He has his sh*t, I have mine.

He wants me to go to Australia.

Australia? What about your work?

The bursary? I'm not

getting that bursary, Jack.

Who says? Who's better?

Er, someone who hasn't

pissed off your ex?

Yeah

sorry about that.

It's not you she hates.

She hates us both.

With good reason.

God, do you ever feel like

you're being punished?

For the shitty person

you really are?

I just wonder sometimes, if

all the good things in my

life were just put there

so they could be taken away.

You know?

Just to show me you can't have

the things you really want

cos you don't deserve them,

you're not good enough.

What do you really want?

I don't know.

WHISPERING: Hey, hey.

PLAYFUL SLAP Hey!

Oh, me head.

Morning you You've

to go, you've to go.

What? You've to go now.

Why? People are, er,

coming for viewings.

Well, can I have a coffee? No!

No, you can't. Go

out the window. What?

I'm not going out

the bleedin' window!

What's gotten into you?

I have a boyfriend.

What?!

f*ck!

You were the first person I've

been with since I got sober.

Really?! I wanted

it to be special.

Well, we were on

mushrooms, so

I'm not supposed to be on

mushrooms. I'm in recovery!

I only did mushrooms

because I liked you.

It goes without saying,

this kind of place,

a very rare bird.

Obviously, the area -

sophisticated, desirable.

Eddie, hi.

Few visitors, is it?

Oh, he's my cousin.

Your cousin is it, yeah?

Come on in, come on in.

Do you know what

suck me d*ck, Ant!

Oh, wait, you already have!

Floor plan?

MESSAGE ALER

Oh, sh*t!

You looking for something?

Mam!

Judas.

Why don't you go

to Aunty Rita's?

Because this is my house.

KNOCKING

It's a wall! DOORBELL RINGS.

Oh, are those for me?

You shouldn't have.

ALEX FEIGNS LAUGH.

Shiv here?

No, she didn't come

back last night.

Just assumed she was with you.

Is the camper van still here?

What camper van?

f*ck.

He's not a happy camper, is he?

Should I still park

in the drive, or?

I'll go back to South Wall.

I can explain. Alex

Alex, for f*ck's sake!

Can we just talk about

this like adults?

I know how it looks, but,

erm, nothing happened.

Just we have a fight, we

don't speak for one night,

and you're instantly

back with your ex.

I told you I wasn't with him.

It's not about him.

But, if it wasn't him,

would it be a drink?

What are you?

Cos it seems to me

that you can't go one night

with an uncomfortable feeling

without needing to

distract yourself.

That's not fair.

Look, I'll admit,

it's been intense.

First that thing with

your dad, then

I find out mom's drinking again.

You're covering for her?

It's It's delicate, you

know. I have to be careful.

Is she careful of you?

Does she consider you

when she asks your

non-committal arsehole of an ex

to camp out in your drive?

Who does that?

Why are you so

hard on my family?

Because I've seen what they do.

You given any more

thought to Australia?

I dunno, maybe if we

get away for a while

Oh, I don't know, Alex.

You only sprung it on

me a few weeks ago,

you can't expect me to

just drop everything and

I don't expect you to

drop anything, Shiv.

And I asked you to

think about it. Yeah.

I love you, Shiv.

But you're behaving

like an addict,

and I'm starting

not to trust you.

And frankly, I think you're

starting not to trust yourself.

SHIV CLEARS THROAT I think

if you carry on like this,

it's only a matter of time

before you end up drinking again.

No, that is not

Look, I just need

And I won't be a part of that.

So, you need to decide

if that matters to you.

I don't mind you staying

over at weekends,

but if we're not

even gonna do it

I need to tell you something.

And I wanna make it clear that

you are under no obligation.

I am an independent

woman, who has her own

Yeah, OK. Um, so

So, a few weeks ago, I

had some stomach pain,

and I went to the hospital,

and they found a cyst.

But they also found

Can I stop you there?

I think I know

where this is going.

You do? You want

someone to pick you up

from the hospital after they

take out this cyst-y thing?

Not that guy. You're What?

Listen, we've had fun.

You're hot and strict,

and it's a sexy combo.

But hanging out at a hospital

with a toothbrush and a nighty

it's not what I signed

up for. Way too intense.

I'm not trying to

be a d*ck but OK.

Er, OK?

Totally, yeah.

No worries.

You're a sound bird.

DOOR OPENS, SHUTS Tom.

Hi. Hi.

Aine Harrington.

Oh, yeah, they, er, they didn't

say you were so handsome.

SHE LAUGHS A divorce?

I'd tie you to the bed and

lick whipped cream off you!

So, how can I help you?

Er, well, like I

outlined in my email

M-hm. You're looking for

a straight 50/50 split

with an extra pay-out to you for

what you've lost on the house.

Exactly, yeah. How

much have you lost?

Well, she loaned

him a hundred grand.

OK. We'll go for three.

What, 300,000? Mm-hm.

Er, where would Bernie get that?

Er, take a cut of her half of

the house, maybe her pension.

I mean, you know, the way she's

behaved, lying, cheating, forging

I mean, any reasonable

judge will be on your side.

Well, no, she didn't cheat.

You know, we had,

erm, an open marriage.

HUSKILY: Of course you

did. You have needs.

Yeah, I just want to, erm,

get through this as

painlessly as possible.

Mm-hm. Mm-hm.

PEN CLICKS, TABLE BANGS

Look

Tom, don't get me wrong.

I am a feminist just as

much as the next gal,

but there are women out there

- b*tches, if you don't mind

who see a man like you,

decent, honourable, sexual.

And they exploit it.

And the system allows it.

So, if you want to come out of

this with more than the coat

on your back, you are

gonna have to get smart.

You still in the family home?

I'm staying in the annexe.

Well, get back in the

house. Strengthens your tie.

Right. Any kids at home?

Yeah, all of them. Oh,

God love them, how old?

Er, 25 to, er, 36.

Mm-hm. Kick them out.

WHISPERING: Give

yourself some privacy

because you are gonna be snapped

up in no time, mark my words.

Now, I am gonna need a

list of all the assets

separate, joint, accumulated.

Oh, and I should warn

you, I do not come cheap.

Er, yeah, I know, I've

looked up your prices.

SMUTTY LAUGH Course you

have, you filthy b*tch!

You know, it's not a

crime to date your lawyer.

You know, all the

celebs are doing it.

WOMAN: Taste is awful. Would

have to completely gut the place.

Start from scratch.

Yeah.

PHONE DINGS

CRUNCHES

I like the window.

The decor

WOMAN SIGHS

Almost as tasteless

as that interview

Oh, my God, did you see that?

I mean the poor woman was

m*rder*d, have some respect.

Where's that

thing Which thing?

Have it.

It's a great location

Yeah But I do

think it's overpriced.

Oh, do you now?

Well, why don't you get

the f*ck out of it, then?

Stop! Out! Out!

Out! WOMAN SCREAMS.

Mrs Sheridan, these

are our buyers!

I don't care who they are,

get them out of my house!

Mom! Get out!

Mom, give me, just

give me it! Get out!

Mom, what the f*ck?!

Get them out of my house.

I'm so sorry.

Right, are we ready to start?

MAN: Still waiting

on a few, Mickey.

VOICEMAIL: 'Hiya, leave a message.'

Karen, I really need to talk to you.

Hey, Mickey, do you

know where Karen is?

No idea. She called

this morning,

said she was giving

up the chair.

What?!

She's not at work, and she's

not answering my calls.

Do you know where she lives?

Do you not know where she lives?

What kind of friend are ya?

DOORBELL RINGS

Marion, hi. No!

No, no, no, no, no.

You are not setting

foot in this house.

Hey! Come on in.

I couldn't sleep last night.

Me neither.

Do you think I should

tell Marie-Luisa?

I mean, she did say if

I ever cheated on her

that she'd k*ll me, but

I don't think she would.

Would she?

I just don't feel

right lying to her.

I'm pregnant.

What?

Really?

I mean, can you

tell that quickly?

Oh, no, I

I'm over four months pregnant.

Oh.

OK.

Erm,

so when we were

you?

Oh, right, OK.

Er

Wow, that's really Er

I'm just gonna sit down.

I should have told you. Yeah.

But I-I was just so

happy being with you.

And-And it all

felt so normal and,

and good, and it all just

happened so fast, and I just

It's for the best.

Cos I was getting confused.

I was, er, I was thinking about you

last night, erm, well, all night.

And, erm, then I was

thinking about Marie-Luisa,

and I know she can have

a temper and be a bit

well, fearsome.

Erm,

but she really cares about me,

and you really hurt me

more than I thought anyone

could possibly hurt me.

So CLEARS THROAT.

So it's for the best

and a good idea for us

not to ever see each

other again, ever.

Yeah ever.

I'm with Marie-Luisa now.

OK.

Oh, God, I really loved you.

So, are you gonna marry

this banker guy, or

Oh, God, no.

We-We broke up this morning.

What? It's fine.

He wasn't right.

What are you going to do?

Have a baby.

I really loved you, too, Rory.

You were the best thing that

ever happened to me, and I was

just too stupid to realise it.

You deserve so much better.

Well, erm HE SNIFFS

congratulations.

Thank you.

You're the first

person who's said that.

We came as soon as we could.

I brought a roast chicken.

Girls! You're too good

I haven't cooked it.

We're making your mother

a roast - where is she?

Does he just wander in

and out willy-nilly?

Dad, what are you doing?

It's on the recommendation

of my lawyer.

Tom call her up.

Tom, far be it for me to interfere,

but this doesn't seem like

DOORBELL CHIMES

You will not believe the

sh*t that I have to

We need to talk.

Er

Something happened last night.

Something bad. Are you OK?

I slept with Mikail.

HE LAUGHS

DOOR SHUTS, KEYS CLATTER

Mom?

In the bedroom.

Your father's occupying

the living room.

FINBAR SIGHS

We'll get there.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Dad's "occupying" the

living room, apparently.

Hm. That man can go to hell.

He's handsome in

that one, isn't he?

Photogenic prick.

BERNIE CHUCKLES.

Mom, are you drinking?

I'm not judging, I wanna help.

The first step to

getting help is

Why are you saying this?

Ant found a bottle of

white wine in the toilet.

And I Ran to Billy?

What? And blabbed

to all my friends

about what a great

big liar Bernie is?

Who's next? Finbar?

Mom you're drinking.

So f*cking what?!

What the hell's it

got to do with you?

Why do you have to open your big

f*cking mouth and ruin everything?

Can you not for

once in your life

let me have a tiny

little bit of happiness?

Why do you have to

tear everything apart?

Oh, that's not

Nothing I do pleases

you, does it?

Oh!

You never acknowledge any

of the changes I've made

or even notice any

of my achievements.

Holding down a job for most people

is not an achievement, Shiv!

What do you want? A

medal for being normal!

What's happening here? Nothing.

Is it about this?

I found it in the hot press.

Whose is it?

I know it belongs to one of you.

Someone in this house is drinking,

in violation of my trust,

and I need to know who it is.

Bernie, I will not stand here and be

lied to, if you have It's Shiv's.

It's Shiv's.

Shiv's been drinking.

Is this true, Siobhan?

You know it's one thing to

put your own sobriety at risk.

But it's another to put

your mother's at risk,

to put myself at risk, to totally

disregard the commitment of others.

And I say this with compassion,

but how dare you be so selfish.

Is everything all right?

I'm afraid Siobhan has

been drinking again.

Ah, Shiv, no.

Well, are we really surprised?

We know what she's like.

Under the circumstances,

Bernie, I don't think Siobhan

can remain in the house.

What?

Oh, well

You don't want to

enable her, surely?

No. No, no.

It's fine. I'll go.

Yeah.

Shiv

Wai Shiv!

Oh, Shiv, you were

doing so well

So, what are you saying?

I'm saying, you made a mistake

and slept with someone,

I made a mistake and

slept with someone.

It doesn't have to be a

big deal. We can move on.

Well, I don't want to

be in a relationship

where people cheat on

each other, Ant. So

are we just gonna break up?

Max. Come on!

I'm doing this for you.

I'm selling the house,

trying to make some cash.

I'm doing it for you.

Cos I don't want to be some

loser who can't afford

I never thought

you were a loser.

I just needed you to be you.

Shiv, er

Did you mean what

you said last night

about giving you a chance?

Er If you did, I

think we should. I

I think maybe this is what I

I was just leaving.

Shiv Jesus Christ!

Shiv, wait.

Shiv!

We were talking.

She came to talk.

We were fighting, I don't even, I

don't even know how it happened.

Is anything that comes out of

your mouth the actual truth?

You said you wanted

to be friends.

You said you wanted

to be a good man!

I feel sorry for your daughter.

You don't f*cking deserve her.

I get waves of compassion
