What do ye mean it doesn't-
TONY:
- It's just not you...
Eoghan and Ernie look across at Billy.
EOGHAN:
I think it's... Yeah, you look
well.
Billy takes a moment to make sure that Eoghan is being
genuine and then brightens up.
EOGHAN (CONT'D)
I'm sure Breda's goin' to love it.
Ernie nods in agreement. Tony shakes his head.
BILLY:
(to Tony)
Ah what the f*** would you know?

95 INT. FARRELL HOUSE/SITTING ROOM - EVENING 95
Breda watches TELEVISION with James and Edel.
They all look up as they HEAR the BANG of the front door.
EDEL:
Mam, are ye a golden one?
BREDA:
That's fifty years.
EDEL:
Or is it a ruby wedding?
BREDA:
No... We're just a... We're ten
years... Whatever that is.

EDEL:

Billy hangs the SHIRT and JACKET up in the wardrobe amongst
his other clothes.
97 INT. SITTING ROOM - EVENING 97
Edel looks to Breda.
EDEL:
What's he doin'?
JAMES:
Probably havin' a shite.
BREDA:
James..!
Billy arrives in.
BILLY:
Howareye's?
He passes on into the kitchen, returning moments later with
his plated dinner. He sits down and digs into it.
Breda WATCHES him eat and then looking very disappointed,
glances back at the TELEVISION.
Edel can sense what's going on and looks to her father.
EDEL:
Daddy!
Billy looks up.
BILLY:
Wha?
He suddenly see's Breda's new hair.
BILLY (CONT'D)
Oh, right, Jeeez it's... Ye look
brilliant... Doesn't she, lads?
The children nod.
Breda smiles but is not entirely happy with the reaction.
BREDA:
Right James, time for your bath.
EDEN - Shooting Script - 18 JUNE 2007 52.
CONTINUED:
(CONTINUED)
J ames doesn't move.
BILLY:
(to James)
You have trainin' in the morning.
James, with a face that would stop a clock, gets up from the
couch and then throws himself back onto it.
JAMES:
(in a tantrum)
I'm not goin'.... I f***in' hate
it... I won't go...
BILLY:
Course ye are... You're the best
little half forward in Offaly!
James is buried in the couch and won't move.
Breda looks to Billy.
Billy nods, picks James up and carries the protesting child
from the room.
Billy lifts James from the bath and as the water drips off
his body, wraps him up in a TOWEL and gives him a squeeze.
James can't help LAUGHING. Billy kneels in front of his son
and dries his hair.
BILLY:
Come here to me... What's... Sure
After a moment, James meets Billy's eyes.
JAMES:
It's the bigger fellas?
BILLY:
What? Are ye gettin' hassle off
them?
JAMES:
They do tease me in the toilets...
That I'm real... small...
(in tears again)
I don't want to go.
Billy is clearly upset and takes a moment to gather himself.

(CONTINUED)
BILLY:
Listen to me, I know what it's like
to be... they're only... Thick
cause you're so good... Don't mind
them. Ye have to stand up to them.
(almost to himself)
That's what ye have to do in this
town, stand up and be noticed.
Billy gives his son another little squeeze.
BILLY (CONT'D)
I have the day off tomorrow so I
can take ye, watch the game, and
bring ye straight home
afterwards... Okay?
James slowly nods his head.
Billy kisses his forehead.
99 INT. SITTING ROOM - NIGHT 99
Billy sits back down with Breda and Edel in front of the
TELEVISION.
BILLY:
He'll be grand, I'm goin' to take
him to the game.
Breda smiles and puts her hand on his knee. Billy puts his
hand down on hers and leaves it there.
Edel sees this and is pleased.
BREDA:
Are ye not goin' down the town?
BILLY:
No...
Breda turns to him and smiles.
BILLY (CONT'D)
... Savin' meself for tomorrow
night.
BREDA:
(with a hint of
flirtation)
I'm lookin' forward to it.
BILLY:
Yeah... It'll be... A late one.
EDEN - Shooting Script - 18 JUNE 2007 54.
CONTINUED:
(CONTINUED)
They both LAUGH awkwardly. Edel laughs along with them.
BILLY (CONT'D)
Your hair is... Looks real well.
They three of them turn back to the TELEVISION.
100 INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY 100
Breda WATCHES from the window as...
Outside, Billy REVS UP the VAN. James, with his KIT BAG on
his back climbs into the passenger seat. The VAN pulls off.
Breda stays at the window until Edel pops her head into the
room.
EDEL:
Right Ma, I'm off to Geraldine's.
Edel sees that her Mother is distracted.
EDEL (CONT'D)
Hey Ma, I have a name for your
anniversary. I was thinkin' of
copper, after 'The Copper Beech'
cause that's where you and Da went
on your first date.
Breda smiles and gives Edel a big hug.
Billy drives with James beside him.
They look to each other and Billy reaches across and ruffles
his son's hair.
S omething CATCHES Billy's eye on the side of the road.
A pissed off Imelda standing beside her YELLOW MINI.
As they drive on past, in the REARVIEW MIRROR, Billy sees
Imelda kicking one of the CAR'S TYRES.
102 EXT. SCHOOL/GAA FIELD - DAY 102
The practise match is well under way as James solos past his
marker and kicks the ball narrowly wide. Billy CLAPS LOUDLY
but as the game restarts he can't seem to concentrate.

CONTINUED:
(CONTINUED)
Distracted, he walks away from the touch line as if to leave
but then stops and returns to pitch side. He shuts his eyes
for a moment.
He opens his eyes and sees that James is at the other end of
the pitch.
103 EXT. SCHOOL - MOMENTS LATER 103
Billy backs his VAN out of the school.
He checks himself in the REAR VIEW MIRROR. He is nervous and
on edge.
The VAN pulls up beside Imelda at the side of the road. She
is trying to change the TYRE but struggles with the JACK.
Billy gets out of the VAN and approaches the CAR.
He nods and tries to give Imelda his best smile but she's in
no mood for pleasantries.
IMELDA:
... F***in' thing!
BILLY:
L et me do it.
IMELDA:
Would have called me Da only me
