106. I laid another piece
of tracing paper
Copy !req
107. - on top and wrote the names.
- Good girl.
Copy !req
108. She's just
a smarty-pants.
Copy !req

a school friend of yours.
Copy !req
116. Yeah, who?
Copy !req
117. Um...
Copy !req
118. Mick Sinnott's boy.
Copy !req
119. - Diarmuid's his name.
- Diarmuid, yeah.
Copy !req
120. Whereabouts?
Copy !req
121. Uh, he was out by Tullogher
picking up sticks, so he was.
Copy !req
122. Did you not stop and give him
a bag of timber off the truck?
Copy !req
123. What? Don't be daft.
Copy !req
124. - Thanks, love.
- You're daft.
Copy !req
125. You're daft.
Copy !req
126. Did you stop
and talk to him, Daddy?

127. I did, yeah.
Copy !req
128. What'd you talk about?
Copy !req
129. - You're daft.
- You're daft.
Copy !req
130. Uh, I-I said hello and I said
"Happy Christmas" to his family.
Copy !req
131. That all?
Copy !req
132. A new one.
Copy !req
133. I-I gave him
a bit of loose change.
Copy !req
134. What did you do that for?
Copy !req
135. Surely his dad
will only drink it.
Copy !req
136. He's never not drunk, that man.
Copy !req
137. He just needs
to pull himself out of it.
Copy !req
138. We don't know that, love.
Copy !req
139. He might be trying.
Copy !req
140. Uh, girls, have you
more homework to do?
Copy !req
141. Jimmy, we have to say
goodbye to you.
Copy !req
142. But believe me, in the few
moments you've been here,
Copy !req
143. you really have made
the show...
Copy !req
144. Get off!
Copy !req
145. Get off me! Get off!
Copy !req
146. "I will honor
Christmas in my heart
Copy !req
147. and try to keep it all the year.
Copy !req
148. I will live in the past,
the present, and the future.
Copy !req
149. The spirit of all three
shall strive within me.
Copy !req
150. I will not shut out
the lessons that they teach."
Copy !req
151. Billy.
Copy !req
152. What happened to your coat?
Copy !req
153. Your mother said
there was spit on it.
Copy !req
154. What was it they said to you?
Copy !req
155. Nothing.
Copy !req
156. Don't be listening to them.
Copy !req
157. They're only brats. Hmm?
Copy !req
158. What was it you wrote
to Santa for?
Copy !req
159. - A jigsaw.
- A jigsaw?
Copy !req
160. A difficult one, I hope.
Copy !req
161. And what would the picture be?
Copy !req
162. Anything at all.
Copy !req
163. A farm with animals.
Copy !req
164. Sure, I can help you
if you get stuck on it.
Copy !req

Copy !req
167. in the new year, do you think?
Copy !req

I wanna show you something.
Copy !req
190. Come on.
Copy !req
191. Say, don't I have a handbag

Copy !req
209. every single year.
Copy !req
210. And every year
it gets better and better.
Copy !req
211. Last year there was stalk
in the cake.
Copy !req
212. You were doing the stalks.
Copy !req
213. The living room
is freezing though,
Copy !req
214. so you can warm that. Okay.
Copy !req
215. - Do you wanna do the egg first?
- Yes.
Copy !req
216. - Come on then.
- No shells this year.
Copy !req
217. - Where're the cherries?

Copy !req
218. - I did not enjoy that.
- It's such
Copy !req
219. an important part of the cake.
Copy !req
220. Go on, give it a wallop.
Copy !req
221. - Ah, be a good girl.
- Oh, no shells. No shells!

Copy !req
228. Yeah, but how will we know
if Santa gets the letters
Copy !req
229. - on time?
- Um...
Copy !req
230. Daddy will post it

Copy !req
231. Pass me your plates

Copy !req
232. Everything for Santa
goes by express.
Copy !req
233. Thank you.
Copy !req
234. Grace.
Copy !req
235. Daddy, did Santa
ever come to you
Copy !req
236. when you were a little kid?
Copy !req
237. Daddy?
Copy !req
238. - What, love?
- Did Santa ever bring you
Copy !req
239. anything when you were
a little kid?
Copy !req
240. He did, of course. Yeah, he—
Copy !req
241. He...
Copy !req
242. One year, he...
Copy !req
243. He brought me a jigsaw puzzle.
Copy !req
244. A what?
Copy !req
245. Only a jigsaw?
Copy !req
246. Yeah.
Copy !req
247. I didn't want much.
Copy !req
248. Not like you, Sheila.
Copy !req
249. I changed up my list.
Copy !req
250. Oh, really? Let's see.
Copy !req
251. What do you think it'll be now?
Copy !req
252. Come on, now, finish up
your toast before it gets cold.
Copy !req
253. How long can we stay up?
Copy !req
254. All right, you can have
a half hour.
Copy !req
255. - Yes!
- That's your lot. Deal?
Copy !req
256. - Deal.

Copy !req
261. You're not talking with Ned?
Copy !req
262. I haven't seen him
since the summer.
Copy !req
263. I must call out to him
some evening.
Copy !req
264. You should invite him over
for Christmas Day if you want.
Copy !req
265. You wouldn't mind?
Copy !req
266. The house is full.
Copy !req
267. What's one more?
Copy !req
268. Have you thought about
what you're getting me?
Copy !req
269. Took me hint this evening.
Copy !req
270. Oh, God.
Copy !req
271. Isn't it great you still notice?
Copy !req
272. What is it you'd like yourself?
Copy !req
273. Uh...
Copy !req
274. Well, there's nothing
I need, really.
Copy !req
275. Well...
Copy !req
276. would you not like
a shirt or something?
Copy !req
277. Oh, may— maybe a book.
Copy !req
278. Yeah?
Copy !req
279. Yeah, I might sit in,
Copy !req
280. read it over the Christmas.
Copy !req
281. What sort of a book?
Copy !req
282. Oh, I don't know.
Copy !req
283. Actually, um...
Copy !req
284. David Copperfield.
Copy !req
285. Yeah. Never, uh...
Copy !req
286. Never got around
to reading that one.
Copy !req
287. You all right, love?
Copy !req
288. You haven't been
yourself in a while.
Copy !req
289. How so?
Copy !req
290. Well...

you're doing all right?
Copy !req
299. Well, I mean, I'm putting away
a couple of bob

to stop getting up
Copy !req
307. in the middle of the night, huh?
Copy !req
308. It's not good for anyone.
Copy !req
309. Beautifully wrapped.
Copy !req
310. Oh!

a good companion
Copy !req
313. - for the other one you have.

Copy !req
314. Oh, thank you, Sarah.

Copy !req
332. Didn't you get
the present you wanted?
Copy !req
333. No.
Copy !req
334. Well...
Copy !req
335. Next time, you tell me
Copy !req
336. and I'll let Santa know.
Copy !req
337. Great friends, me and him.
Copy !req
338. Will you be all right, Bill?

Copy !req
396. We can't have people walking
in and out whenever they want.
Copy !req
397. Do you understand me, Bill?
Copy !req
398. Y-yes, Sister.
Copy !req
399. Bring me the turf
when you get it,
Copy !req
400. and we'll pay you
for the lot then.
Copy !req
401. Mommy.
Copy !req
402. Don't look.
Copy !req
403. No, look away, darling. Stay.
Copy !req
404. Ned!
Copy !req
405. Here, stay where you are, Bill.
Copy !req
406. She came up to me.
Copy !req
407. And she asked me to get her out.
Copy !req
408. To take her as far as the river.
Copy !req
409. Then what did you say?
Copy !req
410. That it wasn't up to me.
Copy !req
411. That's true.
Copy !req
412. It's none of our business.
Copy !req
413. She was so scared of her,
Eileen, and...
Copy !req
414. Aren't they fed and kept warm?
Copy !req
415. Aye.
Copy !req
416. And given a trade?
Copy !req
417. Sure if it wasn't for the nuns,
those girls would have no—
Copy !req
418. Don't I know that?
Copy !req
419. So what do we have
to answer for?
Copy !req
420. Don't you ever question it?
Copy !req
421. Do you want to get on
in this life?
Copy !req
422. There are things
you have to ignore.
Copy !req
423. You've always been
soft-hearted, Bill.
Copy !req
424. Giving away your change
in your pockets,
Copy !req
425. you know, without knowing
the lives of people.
Copy !req
426. I mean, be honest, though.
Copy !req
427. It's far from hardship
you were reared.
Copy !req
428. What— What do you mean by that?
Copy !req
429. There are girls out there
Copy !req
430. who do get into trouble,
and that much you do know.
Copy !req
431. Sorry.
Copy !req
432. Sorry. I shouldn't have
said that.
Copy !req
433. You have to remember
what we have.
Copy !req
434. Let's stay on the right side
of people.
Copy !req
435. Our girls will never go through
Copy !req
436. what those girls
are going through.
Copy !req
437. What if it was one of ours?
Copy !req
438. Oh, God, isn't that
what I'm saying?
Copy !req
439. They're not our girls.
Copy !req
440. Aren't I lucky
Copy !req
441. that Mrs. Wilson
didn't share your ideas?
Copy !req
442. Where would my mother be
if she hadn't taken her in?
Copy !req
443. And where would I be
Copy !req
444. without what she did for me?
Copy !req
445. Her sitting up there
Copy !req
446. in her big house.
Copy !req
447. With her pension and her farm
Copy !req
448. and people to work under her.
Copy !req
449. She was one of the few women
who could do as she pleased.
Copy !req
450. Mommy?
Copy !req
451. Oh, you're here. What is it?
Copy !req
452. Aye? Are you all right, pet?
Copy !req
453. All right, come on.
I'll take you down.
Copy !req
454. You'll be sleeping
in this house now, Bill.
Copy !req
455. I've had a room made up for you.
Copy !req
456. You can have another week
off school,
Copy !req
457. and then you best
get back. All right?
Copy !req
458. Do you think my father knows
what's happened?
Copy !req
459. I don't know.
Copy !req
460. Where's my father?
Copy !req
461. I don't know.
Copy !req
462. God help us.
Copy !req
463. It's all right.
Copy !req
464. It's all right.
Copy !req
465. It's all right, child.
Copy !req
466. Is it the day or night, Mister?
Copy !req
467. It's... it's dawn. It's dawn.
Copy !req
468. It'll be light soon.
Copy !req
469. I'll have my baby here.
Copy !req
470. Not for five months, they said.
Copy !req
471. Sister Mary says
it'll go to a good home.
Copy !req
472. Uh...
Copy !req
473. Come on. No, no, no.
Come on now.
Copy !req
474. Come on now. Come on.
Copy !req
475. Come on up out of it. Come on.
Copy !req
476. Up.
Copy !req
477. Come on, child.
Copy !req
478. I'll take you in. Come on.
Copy !req
479. It's all right.
Copy !req
480. Come on.
Copy !req
481. Up you come.
Copy !req
482. Bring her in.
Copy !req
483. So good of you
to come early, Bill.
Copy !req
484. My God, you gave us
an awful fright, child.
Copy !req
485. Sister Frances was about to send
for the guards to look for you.
Copy !req
486. She was locked
in the shed, Mother.
Copy !req
487. Whatever had her in there...
Copy !req
488. My God, you poor girl.
Copy !req
489. Sisters. Take her upstairs.
Copy !req
490. Get her clean
and bring her back to my office.
Copy !req
491. Thank God you came
when you did, Bill.
Copy !req
492. We'll have some tea.
Copy !req
493. I'll not, Mother.
Copy !req
494. You've time to sit. I'm sure
my purse is in the office.
Copy !req
495. Leave your coat off.
You'll feel the benefit later.
Copy !req
496. Sit down and warm yourself.
Copy !req
497. Tea will be a minute.
Copy !req
498. So all is well at home, Bill?
Copy !req
499. All's well, Mother.
Copy !req
500. And Kathleen has the leaving
certificate this year?
Copy !req
501. She does.
Copy !req
502. And what will she do
with herself?
Copy !req
503. Uh...
Copy !req
504. She wants to study, um,
business in Waterford.
Copy !req
505. Oh, she'll do it well.
She's a good girl.
Copy !req
506. And I've seen Joan in the choir.
Copy !req
507. Sister Carmel says
she's as bright as her sister.
Copy !req
508. They get an excellent
education next door.
Copy !req
509. And you've another two
coming to us, don't you?
Copy !req
510. Another three.
Copy !req
511. Three?
Copy !req
512. Sheila will be coming in
next September, and then, um,
Copy !req
513. then there'll be Grace
and Loretta.
Copy !req
514. Hmm.
Copy !req
515. So many trying to get in.
Copy !req
516. It's no easy task trying to find
a place for everyone.
Copy !req
517. We'll do our best
for your girls. But...
Copy !req
518. must be a little disappointing
all the same.
Copy !req
519. In what way?
Copy !req
520. To not have a boy to carry
on your name, you know?
Copy !req
521. Have me mother's name.
Copy !req
522. No harm ever came from that.
Copy !req
523. Ah, here she is,
Copy !req
524. the girl who caused
all the drama.
Copy !req
525. Sister...
Copy !req
526. You get a chair
and put it next to Billy.
Copy !req
527. And won't you sit
on there, child?
Copy !req
528. Sure here we are now.
Copy !req
529. Thank God for the fire.
Copy !req
530. And where would we be
without the coal men?
Copy !req
531. You see, they're forecasting
snow for us, Bill.
Copy !req
532. I think it will arrive tonight.
Copy !req
533. You can smell it.
Copy !req
534. Sure the whole world
looks pretty under snow.
Copy !req
535. Will you have some tea, child?
Copy !req
536. Yes, please, Mother.
Copy !req
537. And a slice of cake?
Copy !req
538. Of course you will.
Copy !req
539. There you go.
Copy !req
540. Ah, fruitcake for you, pet?
Copy !req
541. No, just tea.
Copy !req
542. Here you go.
Copy !req
543. Now, don't be thinking
you're in any trouble.
Copy !req
544. Tell us how you came
to be locked in that shed.
Copy !req
545. Who put you there?
Copy !req
546. They hid me, Mother.
Copy !req
547. Hid you? Really?
Copy !req
548. Yes, Mother.
Copy !req
549. Who hid you then?
Copy !req
550. The other girls did.
Copy !req
551. How did they do that?
Copy !req
552. We were playing a game.
Copy !req
553. Are you not a bit old
Copy !req
554. to be playing hide and seek?
Copy !req
555. And did they not think
to let you out
Copy !req
556. when the game was over?
Copy !req
557. Girl, what's wrong with you?
Copy !req
558. Wasn't it just a silly game?
Copy !req
559. What was it, child?
Copy !req
560. It's just a big nothing, Mother.
Copy !req
561. A big nothing, that's it.
Copy !req
562. Now, what you need
is your breakfast
Copy !req
563. and a good long sleep.
Copy !req
564. Sister Frances, won't you fry
something up for this child,
Copy !req
565. take her into the kitchen
and let her eat her fill.
Copy !req
566. And no work for her today.
Copy !req
567. She needs to get
her strength back.
Copy !req
568. Poor creature.
Copy !req
569. Do you have an invoice for me?
Copy !req
570. Didn't Christmas come in quickly
all the same?
Copy !req
571. That's our settle now, isn't it?
Copy !req
572. Yes, Mother.
Copy !req
573. Just a minute.
Copy !req
574. Here's a little gift for you.
Copy !req
575. I'm sure Eileen
will appreciate it.
Copy !req
576. Take it now, Bill. Come on.
Copy !req
577. That's us done, I'd say.
Copy !req
578. Put them out. Come on.
Copy !req
579. Mr. Furlong.
Copy !req
580. What's your name, love?
Copy !req
581. Sarah.
Copy !req
582. Sarah Redmond.
Copy !req
583. - Mr. Furlong!
- My name is Bill Furlong.
Copy !req
584. I work in the coal yard
down by the quays.
Copy !req
585. If ever you need anything,
anything at all,
Copy !req
586. you-you call, come down.
Copy !req
587. - That's enough, that's enough.
- Come down...
Copy !req
588. I'll be there every day
except Sunday.
Copy !req
589. Out!
Copy !req
590. Line up, girls!
Copy !req
591. On your way!
Copy !req
592. Don't be dallying!
Copy !req
593. Not a word in the chapel!
Copy !req
594. You hear me? Not a sound.
Copy !req
595. The Lord is compassion and love,
Copy !req
596. slow to anger and rich in mercy.
Copy !req
597. He does not treat us
according to our sins
Copy !req
598. nor repay us
according to our faults.
Copy !req
599. Response.
Copy !req
600. The Lord
is compassion and love.
Copy !req
601. As the heavens
are high above the earth,
Copy !req
602. so strong is His love
for those who fear Him.
Copy !req
603. As far as the east
is from the west,
Copy !req
604. so far does He remove our sins.
Copy !req
605. Response.
Copy !req
606. The Lord
is compassion and love.
Copy !req
607. As the Father
has compassion for his children,
Copy !req
608. the Lord has pity
on those who fear Him,
Copy !req
609. for He knows
of what we are made.
Copy !req
610. He remembers that we are dust.
Copy !req
611. Response.
Copy !req
612. The Lord
is compassion and love.
Copy !req
613. The love of the Lord
is everlasting
Copy !req
614. upon those who fear Him.
Copy !req
615. His justice reaches out
to the children's children
Copy !req
616. when they keep
His covenant in truth.
Copy !req
617. Response.
Copy !req
618. Oh, shut up.
Copy !req
619. Someone needs more lessons.
Copy !req
620. Are you not gonna tell me?
Copy !req
621. What?
Copy !req
622. I saw Sister Mary after mass.
Copy !req
623. She said she gave you
a card for me?
Copy !req
624. Oh, yeah, uh...
Copy !req
625. It's in my-my coat—
my coat pocket there.
Copy !req
626. Were you not gonna tell me?
Copy !req
627. I forgot all about it.
Copy !req
628. Yeah, I mean—
Copy !req
629. I said you had, you know.
Copy !req
630. It just looks like
we don't appreciate it.
Copy !req
631. Mmm.
Copy !req
632. It's just bad manners.
Copy !req
633. God, that is so nice of her.
Copy !req
634. - That'll pay for Christmas.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
635. I hope you thanked her for it.
Copy !req
636. Sorry, love.
Copy !req
637. Oh, what ails you?
Copy !req
638. You haven't said a word all day.
Copy !req
639. Uh... I'm coming down
on a cold or something.
Copy !req
640. Hi.
Copy !req
641. Uh, is Ned around at all?
Copy !req
642. No, he's not.
He's been in hospital.
Copy !req
643. He's fine. I'm-I'm not sure
where he is exactly.
Copy !req
644. My-my brother knows.
Copy !req
645. Easily know you're related.
Is-is Ned your uncle?
Copy !req
646. Look, you're welcome to wait.
Copy !req
647. It's fine. Fine.
Copy !req
648. Are you Bill?
Copy !req
649. I am, yeah.
Copy !req
650. My God, I'm sorry, I'm Emma.
Copy !req
651. We visited here when we were
little kids, Emma and Peter.
Copy !req
652. The house is sold,
Ned told you, right?
Copy !req
653. Um, Wexford Hospital, you said?
Copy !req
654. Yes, but, uh, but he's
in a nursing home outside of it.
Copy !req
655. He's fine, he had pneumonia.
Copy !req
656. Peter knows the place, I'm sure.
Copy !req
657. Will you come in for a bit?
Copy !req
658. I've to get back to town.
Copy !req
659. Well— are you well, Bill?
Copy !req
660. Oh, I'm grand.
Copy !req
661. - And your family?
- We're all grand, thanks, yeah.
Copy !req
662. Happy Christmas, Bill.
Copy !req
663. - It's quiet in here.
- All right.
Copy !req
664. So, will you be putting money
behind the bar
Copy !req
665. for the lads for Christmas Eve?
Copy !req
666. I think they might have
enough now.
Copy !req
667. They surely do, especially PJ.
Copy !req
668. Yes.
Copy !req
669. You gave them a bonus as well
as their lunches, Pat said.
Copy !req
670. Ah, well, they deserve it. Um...
Copy !req
671. You're a good man, my God.
Copy !req
672. Are we sorted so?
Copy !req
673. We are, thank you, Bill.
That's lovely.
Copy !req
674. - Yes, yes, well, um...
- Before you—
Copy !req
675. I just... wanted to ask you.
Copy !req
676. Did I hear about what happened
in the convent? That—
Copy !req
677. Did you have a run-in
with herself?
Copy !req
678. Look.
Copy !req
679. It's no affair of mine.
Copy !req
680. It's not, but...
Copy !req
681. You'd want to watch
what you'd say about...
Copy !req
682. About what's there.
Copy !req
683. Keep the bad dog with you
and the good dog won't bite.
Copy !req
684. - You know this?
- Ah, yeah. Yeah.
Copy !req
685. It's just...
Copy !req
686. Those nuns have a finger
in every pie, Bill.
Copy !req
687. And you can be sure about that.
Copy !req
688. Mmm.
Copy !req
689. Look,
Copy !req
690. you've worked as hard as myself
to get where you are.
Copy !req
691. - We've worked damn hard.
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
692. And there's only a wall
separating that place
Copy !req
693. from the school.
Copy !req
694. You go making a nuisance
of yourself now,
Copy !req
695. you might be denying
your younger ones an education.
Copy !req
696. Never mind how you look
to the rest of the town.
Copy !req
697. And... and what's that then?
Tell me.
Copy !req
698. People can make things
difficult for you.
Copy !req
699. Well, then I know
what people are like.
Copy !req
700. Yeah.
Copy !req
701. Then you know to do
the sensible thing, Bill.
Copy !req
702. Just... just look
after your family
Copy !req
703. and... and your business
Copy !req
704. will be my advice to you.
Copy !req
705. You get me?
Copy !req
706. I-I do, yeah. Yeah.
Copy !req
707. - Yeah.
- Okay.
Copy !req
708. - Right.
- I best get back out
Copy !req
709. - to this bar.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
710. Happy Christmas to the family
for tomorrow.
Copy !req
711. Happy Christmas
to you too. Yeah.
Copy !req
712. Will I see you
over the holidays?
Copy !req
713. Aye, you'll see me around here.
Copy !req
714. - Happy Christmas.
- Happy Christmas to you.
Copy !req
715. - Great quality.
- Thanks, Niamh.
Copy !req
716. - Happy Christmas to you.
- And to you and the family.
Copy !req
717. We'll see you at Christmas mass
tomorrow, so...
Copy !req
718. You will. Bye, Kate.
Copy !req
719. Bye, love.
Copy !req
720. Um...
Copy !req
721. Picking up a pair of shoes.
Copy !req
722. Um, the name's Furlong.
Copy !req
723. Hiya, Bill.
Copy !req
724. - Hi.
- Hi.
Copy !req
725. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
726. Sarah.
Copy !req
727. Come on.
Copy !req
728. Come on, love.
Copy !req
729. Um... It's Bill Furlong.
Copy !req
730. The coal man.
Copy !req
731. I mean you no harm.
Copy !req
732. Whoa.
Copy !req
733. Come on, love.
Copy !req
734. It's... it's okay.
Copy !req
735. Don't worry.
Copy !req
736. Don't worry.
Copy !req
737. We're nearly there.
Copy !req
738. Almost home.
Copy !req
739. Here we are.
Copy !req
