We follow them to ALLEN’s beaten up saloon.<br />
INT. COLLETTE’S HOME - LAUNDRY ROOM - DAY<br />
COLLETTE is in the tiny utility room behind the kitchen,<br />
bent over the washing machine, which isn’t working.<br />
She puzzles over what’s wrong, punches a few buttons and<br />
finally gives the door a good KICK. It starts to work<br />
again. As she smiles to herself, it springs an alarming<br />
leak.<br />
COLLETTE<br />
Shit...Mam!<br />
MA comes in and now the two women fiddle with the dials.<br />
Eventually, MA switches it off at the wall and pushes the<br />
door shut hard enough to stem the leak.<br />
COLLETTE (CONT’D)<br />
You got Paddy to fix it again.<br />
Both women laugh. MA pushes back COLLETTE’s hair and kisses<br />
her forehead.<br />
INT. ALLEN’S CAR - ON THE ROAD INTO BELFAST - DAY.<br />
ALLEN<br />
Don’t tell me; they signed you up<br />
at Oxford?<br />
RYAN smiles. Not a lot he can say here. Allen glances at<br />
his watch.<br />
Ryan nods.<br />
ALLEN (CONT’D)<br />
Midday, Linenhall Street?<br />
ALLEN (CONT’D)<br />
Think she’ll show? Or was she<br />
just taking you for a ride?<br />
Ryan doesn’t answer. This guy is going to be a barrel of<br />
laughs...<br />
EXT. THE FALLS ROAD IN WEST BELFAST - DAY<br />
COLLETTE is taking MARK to school, an arm around his<br />
shoulder. They pass an army patrol routinely deployed to<br />
protect Catholics from Protestants and vice versa. In<br />
Catholic areas like this, they long ago became the ENEMY.
