GERRY<br />
(quieter)<br />
We need to talk.<br />
PADDY<br />
I know you like to think you’re<br />
the conscience of this war,<br />
Gerry. But you’re gonna end up<br />
fightin’ it all on your own...<br />
PADDY pushes back his chair and storms out.<br />
INT. ALLEN’S HOUSE - NIGHT<br />
CHRISTMAS EVE in the ALLEN household: a happy family scene.<br />
ALLEN has a bottle of port and a box of cigars in his hand<br />
and is squiring RYAN through to his study.<br />
As they go, ALLEN’S attractive blonde daughter shoots their<br />
guest an ADMIRING GLANCE.<br />
The pair sit in deep arm chairs in front of a roaring fire.<br />
ALLEN pours two glasses of port and offers the box of<br />
cigars.<br />
RYAN<br />
No thanks.<br />
ALLEN<br />
Come on. It’ll kill you quicker.<br />
ALLEN lights one for himself, sits back.<br />
ALLEN (CONT’D)<br />
Now you steer clear of her, d’ya<br />
hear?<br />
RYAN smiles. Like he’d dare.<br />
ALLEN (CONT’D)<br />
Bloody daughters. Nothing but<br />
trouble.<br />
They stare into the fire.<br />
ALLEN (CONT’D)<br />
You must be missing your family.<br />
(Shakes his head) Tough being<br />
away...<br />
RYAN<br />
Not really.<br />
ALLEN<br />
I’m sorry to hear that.
