We follow her out...<br />
INT. LANDING - CONTINUOUS<br />
She joins her brother.<br />
GERRY<br />
We have to go now.<br />
MA.<br />
You don’t have to go anywhere.<br />
You’re certainly not going to<br />
take Collette.<br />
GERRY pushes past her, but MA physically grabs a hold of<br />
her daughter.<br />
MA. (CONT’D)<br />
Don’t. He’s dead to us. He has no<br />
feeling left.<br />
COLLETTE is too dazed to respond.<br />
MA. (CONT’D)<br />
He’s using you.<br />
COLLETTE<br />
Please, Ma.<br />
MA.<br />
I can see how he bullies you,<br />
Collette. Your father asked you<br />
to run to the shop and because<br />
you persuaded Sean to go instead,<br />
it’s your fault...<br />
COLLETTE<br />
That’s not how it is Mam...<br />
Now they’re grappling with each other. Collette cups her<br />
mother’s cheeks.<br />
A desperate half-embrace and then she rips herself free.<br />
MA stands at the top of the stairs, tears in her eyes.<br />
She sits down on the steps and begins to sob<br />
uncontrollably.<br />
CRASH CUT TO:<br />
INT. COLLETTE’S BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS.<br />
ON the CHILDREN in turn as they sleep. MARK rolls over,<br />
clutches a teddy bear to his mouth. CATHERINE does not<br />
stir.
