A Shine of Rainbows Page #2
They can find spirits
who have passed on...
and give them messages about things
you want them to know.
Could I...
t--
talk to my gran?
Just lean in and whisper
your message to her very softly...
so that only she can hear.
Tell my gran--
- Want to know what I told her?
- Only if you want.
I said...
I like it here.
- Mmm, you're so slow!
- Stop it! Ow!
- Stop it! Seamus!
- Can you catch--
No! Seamus!
- Don't try and catch me.
- Ow!
- Get back!
- Yoo-hoo!
Oh!
- You needn't have gone to the trouble.
- You've not the time to bake.
- I know how you spoil him.
- Oh.
- So, is he about?
- No, he's gone down to the boat.
- No, not Alec. The lad!
- Oh.
My lot are clambering to play with him.
It's about time I met him.
You take your lot inside the house.
I'll see if I can find him.
- Come on, you lot!
- Tomas?
Tomas?
Tomas?
Tomas?
Oh. He's run off then.
Nothing like a soft bale of hay
Fox in the henhouse!
Mrs. Gallagher from down the road
has come for a visit.
They might have given you a fright
yesterday, but they were just excited to see you.
Seamus and Nancy
are keen to play with you.
Come if you want.
I'll be there.
- Is he coming, Ma?
- Forget about him! Let's just go.
He's still getting
used to things a bit, so--
- Hello.
- Well, it's Tomas, is it?
Welcome to Corrie.
And are you finding
the island to your liking?
Di D-D-Didn't see much of it yet.
- Why are you talking like that?
- Seamus! Mind your tongue.
Tomas has a stammer.
He knows what he wants to say,
but sometimes...
the words just have
a hard time coming out.
What do you think?
Shall we take him to our hideout?
- It's a secret.
- Thanks very much. That's lovely.
- You'd keep a secret, right, Tomas?
- You'd better keep it.
Don't forget your oilskin.
It might rain today.
- Tomas, you coming?
- So...
Oh, he's coming along.
- These things take time, you know.
- Mmm.
But I know every man wants
the child to be his own, and...
I know how hard you tried.
You throw like a chicken.
I throw like a rooster!
You're such a girl.
Rooster or chicken?
Rooster!
So how old are you then, five?
Seamus! Don't be an agent!
- Eight.
- You're not daft, are you?
Anybody can see
he's not daft, Seamus.
Well, are you then?
I'm not...
d-d-daft.
We'll see.
If you're eight...
you'll be coming to school
next week with me and Seamus.
Shh!
Don't stare at him.
He'll turn you to stone.
I thought he was King Fingal.
- He grants wishes.
- He was a king all right.
But how would you feel
being frozen for 3,000 years?
Crushed a sailor once who got in his way.
He's furious when he wakes up.
But Maire says he grants wishes.
- We have to climb up there and steal an egg.
- Why don't you go right now?
'Cause the bird hasn't laid one yet!
Besides we're going to the hideout.
Or have you lost your nerve?
Well, you coming or not then? Let's go!
Let's go!
What do you think? It's where King Fingal
and his court used to live.
- Is this your hideout?
- Hideout? This?
- Where are we?
- On the secret path.
King Fingal's sanctuary.
No one knew it existed till I found it.
- I found it, not you!
- Who made this?
King Fingal and his giants.
They made this cave.
They made everything.
Come on.
Don't worry. Bats eat bugs, not people.
No. They're blood-drinkers.
They'll suck you dry.
Come on. We're almost there.
Tomas, wait!
- Let him go.
- Tomas!
Wait!
You look like you saw a ghost!
- I- I-I s-
- Another time.
Yeah, when you're not a baby anymore.
Let's go see Molly's new kittens.
Okay.
Are you coming to school too, Ben?
- Wish it was him instead of me.
- He'd learn a lot more than you
if he went. Right, Ben?
I don't know what you're so happy about.
We're going to school.
I'm sure it's no fun
learning new things...
when you don't have a brain
to store them.
Bye!
Quiet. Quiet!
Quiet, class, please.
You'll notice we have
This is Tomas, and he's come to Corrie
all the way from the city.
Would you like to tell us
something about it, Tomas?
I--
I--
Uh, I--
Rory McCann!
- Go on, Tomas.
- Tell about the chocolate shops, Tomas.
Chocolate's good...
but... Corrie's better.
Why is that, Tomas?
Well, Corrie's... got...
boats and seals...
and... sheep... and...
giant stones...
and...
K- K-K- King Fingal's castle.
Try and find that in a city.
Here, miss. With me, miss!
Here! Here!
Here, miss. With me, miss!
Here, here, here.
Miss, please, please, please.
Here, miss.
Tomas.
This is Mrs. Kane
from the agency on the mainland.
What agency?
Not to worry.
She works for the adoption agency.
Mrs. Kane will be paying us visits
now and again.
It's just part of what she does so that--
So that we can decide whether or not
you're to live here on Corrie.
- But--
- I'll be off now.
- But when I come back,
I'd like to have a visit with you.
- But--
- To talk things over.
- But I have decided.
- I want to stay here.
- It's not that simple.
If you're to be a family,
everyone must agree...
that's the best place for you.
Don't you think?
for Mr. O'Donnell to look over.
And if he sees fit to sign them...
I can get on with my job.
Good day.
- He doesn't want to sign.
- It's not that.
- He's just been so busy.
- Is it true...
I can't stay...
if he doesn't sign?
Do not be bothering yourself with that.
- Do you not hear the chickens clucking up a storm?
- But--
They've been waiting all day
for you to feed them.
Go on now, before they starve to death.
Tomas?
Tomas?
I see they're taking a liking to you.
Maybe.
Did you talk to them?
I gave them a message for my gram.
Good.
Want to know what I told her?
That's up to you.
When I first saw you at the home...
I... pretended you were my real mum.
We could let ourselves
pretend that's what I am.
If I could call you "Mum"...
Then why not call me "Mum"?
I'd like that.
- Does it hurt?
- No.
It's just my heart saying I'm happy.
I am too...
Mum.
Where are we going?
Wait till you see.
Charlie, I want you to meet Tomas.
Do you want to take him?
He's harmless. Really.
Go on.
He tickles.
- Bye.
- See you, Carey.
See you, Nancy.
Seamus--
I'd like to go back to your hideout.
- You're serious?
- Let's go!
But the bats!
They're sleeping.
And we never come down here at night
when they're all flying.
- Me and Rory would.
- Would not.
Rory's afraid of everything.
She's a a beauty.
No matter how heavy the seas...
she's safe and sound in here.
Are we taking her out?
If you weren't a city boy,
you'd know the tide's against us.
Be off with you, puppy!
He's changed, hasn't he?
Aye.
Fresh air and your cooking.
And have you noticed
that he calls me "Mum"?
- I had.
- Come on, Ben. Come on.
- What does he call me, I wonder?
- Ooh.
Just "himself."
