1. I thought
your story was beautiful.
Copy !req
2. Like I'm hearing your most
private, most intimate thoughts.
Copy !req
3. This wonderful hidden life
you have access to.
Copy !req
4. I'm completely jealous.
Copy !req
5. - Thanks.
Copy !req
6. For reading it.
Copy !req
7. - What will you do with it?
Copy !req
8. - Don't know.
Copy !req
9. - You should submit it
to the magazine.
Copy !req
10. They liked the last one.
- I don't know.
Copy !req
11. Don't know if it's good enough.
Copy !req
12. - Ah, you're just fishing now.
Copy !req
13. It's brilliant.
Copy !req
14. Right, make a wish.
Copy !req
15. This looks so yummy.
I can't believe you made this.
Copy !req
16. - It's a perfect
essay distraction.
Copy !req
17. - It's very sweet.
Totally unnecessary.
Copy !req
18. - Shut your face.
You have to have a cake.
Copy !req
19. Did you get
good presents, Marianne?
Copy !req
20. - Lovely presents.
Thank you, Niall.
Copy !req
21. And what
did you get her, Connell?
Copy !req
22. - Uh, a book.
Copy !req
23. Some Frank O'Hara poems.
Copy !req
24. Anyway...
Copy !req
25. - I love it.
Copy !req
26. - And what about your family?
They get you anything nice?
Copy !req
27. A sports car or a pony?
Copy !req
28. What are you implying?
Copy !req
29. - Well, I'm just going off
my own birthday list.
Copy !req
30. Mm, they don't really
go in for birthdays.
Copy !req
31. Oh, fair enough.
Copy !req
32. Mm, this cake's
fuckin' delicious.
Copy !req
33. - Birthday message?
Copy !req
34. - Yeah.
Copy !req
35. My mother.
Copy !req
36. Not exactly "happy birthday."
Copy !req
37. - What does it say?
Copy !req
38. - "Send me back the keys
to the Dublin flat
as soon as possible."
Copy !req
39. So...
Copy !req
40. - I'm sorry.
Copy !req
41. - It's okay.
Copy !req
42. I'm okay.
Copy !req
43. - Did you like that?
Copy !req
44. - Yeah.
Copy !req
45. Very much.
Copy !req
46. - Good.
Copy !req
47. could be described
as bureaucratic inertia.
Copy !req
48. - Who? Connell?
Copy !req
49. - Yeah, all right, well,
you're getting better.
Copy !req
50. - What do you
fancy doing tonight?
Copy !req
51. - Watch a film.
- Sounds good.
Copy !req
52. - Oh, I might go for a swim.
Another one.
Copy !req
53. But I, I could pick up some food
and come to you after.
Copy !req
54. - Great.
Copy !req
55. Did we get married and become
50-years-old without noticing?
Copy !req
56. - Maybe.
Copy !req
57. I actually love it.
Copy !req
58. - Do you think our
first-year selves would hate
what we've become?
Copy !req
59. I should have known,
to be fair.
Copy !req
60. - I think first-year me
would have been amazed.
Copy !req
61. "Look at her,
she's actually content."
Copy !req
62. Wow.
Copy !req
63. You all right?
- Mm-hmm, yeah.
Copy !req
64. I just got this email.
- From who?
Copy !req
65. Connell, from who?
Copy !req
66. - It's, uh...
Copy !req
67. it's, it's from
this university in New York.
Copy !req
68. They're offering me
a place in their
Copy !req
69. MFA creative writing program.
Copy !req
70. - Oh.
Copy !req
71. I didn't even
know you'd applied.
Copy !req
72. I mean, congratulations.
I'm, I'm not surprised
Copy !req
73. they've offered you a place.
Copy !req
74. I'm just a bit surprised
you didn't mention it.
Copy !req
75. - Well, it was such a long shot.
Copy !req
76. I, um, I-I was embarrassed.
Copy !req
77. To be honest, I, uh...
Copy !req
78. I still look up to you a lot,
and I, uh...
Copy !req
79. I wouldn't want you
to see me, I don't know what,
deluded, or...
Copy !req
80. - Connell.
- And I,
Copy !req
81. I don't even know why I applied.
It wasn't even my idea.
Copy !req
82. - Whose idea was it?
- Uh, one— one of my tutors.
Copy !req
83. - It's really brilliant,
Connell.
Copy !req
84. - You can see me
in New York, can you?
Copy !req
85. - Yeah, actually.
Copy !req
86. I can.
- I can't even...
Copy !req
87. It's making me feel...
Copy !req
88. Now is not the time for me
to go halfway across the world
Copy !req
89. and live in a city
where I don't know anyone.
Copy !req
90. Like...
Copy !req
91. I could barely walk down
the street in Dublin
Copy !req
92. a couple of months ago
without having a panic attack.
Copy !req
93. How's that gonna work
in New York?
Copy !req
94. - Put it away for a bit.
Copy !req
95. It, it's brilliant
they offered you a place.
Copy !req
96. Don't think about
what to do with it for now.
Copy !req
97. - I'm not going.
Copy !req
98. - Okay.
Copy !req
99. - And of course,
we have to thank Connell.
Copy !req
100. For stepping up
and turning out to be
Copy !req
101. the most naturally fucking
gifted editor of all times.
Copy !req
102. Leading me to announce
that our latest brilliant issue
Copy !req
103. launches tomorrow,
and we could not be prouder.
Copy !req
104. And I made punch,
and it's fucking delicious.
Copy !req
105. And it's fucking lethal.
Drink up!
Copy !req
106. - Marianne.
Copy !req
107. - Yeah?
- Can I ask you something?
Copy !req
108. - Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
109. - Christmas.
Copy !req
110. - What about it?
Copy !req
111. - Would you like to come to ours?
Copy !req
112. - I don't know, Connell.
Copy !req
113. That's kind.
- Lorraine would love
to have you.
Copy !req
114. - You don't know that.
Copy !req
115. What?
- I think I do know that.
Copy !req
116. It's her idea.
Copy !req
117. - That's kind of her.
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
118. So?
Copy !req
119. So...
Copy !req
120. - Stop.
- Oh, Connell.
Copy !req
121. - Yeah?
- It's not funny.
Copy !req
122. - There they are.
Aw, look at the two of you.
Copy !req
123. A little Christmas miracle.
Copy !req
124. Been cooking for weeks.
Get in here.
Copy !req
125. Hi.
- Hello, sweetheart.
Copy !req
126. Oh.
Copy !req
127. - Thanks for having me.
Copy !req
128. Where should I put these, where?
I'll take them off ya.
Copy !req
129. Editor.
Well, that's impressive.
Copy !req
130. - No, well, I'm just really
doing it as a favor.
Copy !req
131. - I'm sure people edit
newspapers as a favor.
Copy !req
132. - He's doing brilliantly.
Copy !req
133. - It's a literary magazine.
It's absolutely not a newspaper.
Copy !req
134. - Am I,
am I involved in politics?
Copy !req
135. What?
Copy !req
136. Why is that funny?
Copy !req
137. - Am I Dobby?
Copy !req
138. Do I like me?
Oh, no.
Copy !req
139. No...
Copy !req
140. You all right?
Copy !req
141. - Yeah.
Copy !req
142. - Is it too much?
- No.
Copy !req
143. It's so nice.
Copy !req
144. Proper Christmas.
Copy !req
145. It's lovely.
Copy !req
146. Well, you have to do something.
Copy !req
147. What are your
school friends up to?
Copy !req
148. Brennan's, like every year.
Copy !req
149. - I'm just not sure I could see
a New Year's in a Brennan's.
Copy !req
150. Hello, Denise.
Happy New Year.
Copy !req
151. - What do people in town
think of her?
Copy !req
152. - I suppose...
Copy !req
153. I suppose she'd be
considered a bit odd.
Copy !req
154. - Oh.
Copy !req
155. Your cheeks are red.
Copy !req
156. - It's cold.
Copy !req
157. - Will you come tonight?
Copy !req
158. You should.
Copy !req
159. - Far be it from me
to disobey an order.
Copy !req
160. - All right, hey, hey, you!
Copy !req
161. - How's it going, Gary?
- Good to see you.
Copy !req
162. - Good to see you, too.
Happy New Year to you.
Copy !req
163. - Hey!
- Hey!
Copy !req
164. So nice to see you.
Copy !req
165. You look amazing.
So do you.
Copy !req
166. You look gorgeous.
Copy !req
167. Marianne,
how are you getting on?
Copy !req
168. - Happy New Year, how are you?
Copy !req
169. Good to see ya. Good, good.
Get you a drink?
Copy !req
170. - Yes, please.
Would you like one?
No, no, no.
Copy !req
171. - See you in a second.
One second.
Copy !req
172. - Marianne Sheridan.
Hi.
Copy !req
173. - I love you.
Copy !req
174. - I love you, too.
Copy !req
175. - You all right?
Copy !req
176. - Yeah, I am.
Copy !req
177. Just never felt like home.
Copy !req
178. Didn't feel right to be here
to be honest.
Copy !req
179. - What?
Copy !req
180. - I've been thinking
about New York.
Copy !req
181. The offer.
Copy !req
182. - What about it?
Copy !req
183. - I don't know, I just...
Copy !req
184. I keep imagining
you being there.
Copy !req
185. Writing.
Copy !req
186. - Right.
Copy !req
187. - You've been thinking about it.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
188. Yeah. A bit.
Copy !req
189. Like, obviously, I—
I've thought about it a bit,
Copy !req
190. but that doesn't mean that...
Copy !req
191. Uh...
Copy !req
192. it just feels too hard.
Copy !req
193. Everything recently has been
hard or it's been an effort
Copy !req
194. and maybe this year
Copy !req
195. just needs to be
straightforward, you know?
Copy !req
196. - There's been a lot of stuff
that's been difficult.
Copy !req
197. And painful.
Copy !req
198. And this would be
difficult and amazing.
Copy !req
199. - Potentially, yes.
- It's New York.
Copy !req
200. It's writing.
Copy !req
201. It'd be fucking amazing,
Connell.
Copy !req
202. - Yeah.
Copy !req
203. Yeah, maybe.
Copy !req
204. Would you come with me?
Copy !req
205. We could be there together, and,
Copy !req
206. and you could
study or work, and...
Copy !req
207. Why?
Copy !req
208. - I want to stay here.
Copy !req
209. I want to live
the life I'm living.
Copy !req
210. It's quite a thing.
Copy !req
211. And I'm getting better at it.
Copy !req
212. - Yeah.
Copy !req
213. I'd miss you too much.
Copy !req
214. I'd be sick.
Copy !req
215. - At first.
Copy !req
216. But it would get better.
Copy !req
217. - Mm-hmm, yeah.
Copy !req
218. Yeah, and it's only a year,
and then I'll be back.
Copy !req
219. - Don't promise that.
Copy !req
220. You don't know...
Copy !req
221. where either of us will be.
Copy !req
222. Or what will happen.
Copy !req
223. - I wouldn't be here
if it wasn't for you.
Copy !req
224. No.
Copy !req
225. That's true.
Copy !req
226. I mean, you'd be
somewhere else entirely.
Copy !req
227. You'd be a different person.
Copy !req
228. And me, too.
Copy !req
229. But we have done so much good
for one another.
Copy !req
230. - You know I love you.
Copy !req
231. And I'm never gonna feel
the same way for anyone else.
Copy !req
232. - I know.
Copy !req
233. - I'll go.
Copy !req
234. - And I'll stay.
Copy !req
235. And we'll be okay.
Copy !req
