INT. COLLETTE’S HOME - KITCHEN - EVENING<br />
An ordinary family scene. The kids are finishing their tea,<br />
whilst COLLETTE and her MOTHER wash up. The door opens and<br />
in walk COLLETTE’S two brothers, GERRY and PADDY. GERRY is<br />
taller and older. He is brooding and handsome, with cropped<br />
hair; naturally a leader. But PADDY got all the emotional<br />
intelligence. He is shorter and bulkier with long, unkempt<br />
hair and a moustache.<br />
PADDY<br />
We heard a rumour our girl was<br />
back...<br />
He hugs his sister and then kisses his mother. He is<br />
obviously the favorite son. GERRY takes a hunk of bread off<br />
the side and wipes some of the left-over gravy from MARK’s<br />
plate.<br />
GERRY<br />
(with his mouth full)<br />
You all right, Collette?<br />
She nods. GERRY switches on the TV. The British and Irish<br />
Prime Ministers are giving a press conference<br />
GERRY (CONT’D)<br />
You heard about this?<br />
Yeah.<br />
COLLETTE<br />
He looks at her.<br />
GERRY<br />
We’re busting their balls and<br />
they want us to settle for a<br />
piece of fucking paper.<br />
MA.<br />
Mind your language in front of<br />
the children please, Gerard.<br />
MA. (CONT’D)<br />
And who’s to say it isn’t<br />
something.<br />
Irritated, Gerry turns up the volume. The British Prime<br />
Minister, John Major, is answering a question.<br />
MAJOR.<br />
Of course the document entertains<br />
the possibility of a united<br />
Ireland. But it also very clearly<br />
recognises the right of the<br />
people of Northern Ireland to<br />
determine their own future.<br />
