wife Yvonne.

Billy refocuses on Ernie who indicates Eoghan.

ERNIE (CONT'D)

Billy, have ye met Eoghan?

Eoghan holds out his hand and Billy shakes it.

BILLY:

Win anything lately yourself,

E rnie?

ERNIE:

(laughing)

No, sure I wouldn't hit flying

elephants.

BILLY:

(laughing)

Sure ye wouldn't score in a brothel

with a ten pound note stuck to your

lad.

ERNIE:

(continues to laugh)

Would you ever...

(His laughter stops)

Eoghan here sells these golf

puttin' greens so ye can practise

in your house.... Great yokes!

Eoghan brandishes a LEAFLET, advertising the product. Billy

has no choice but to take it from him.

EOGHAN:

So, ye play the game yourself?

Ernie shakes his head and lets out a sharp laugh.

Billy grins but suddenly feels terribly awkward. Ernie,

embarrassed that he might have insulted him, indicates their

table.

ERNIE:

Do ye want to join us?

Billy's eyes dart across to the table.

The empty seat where Imelda was sitting. A definite tension

comes over him. He hesitates, but nods his head and begins to

m ove off with them when...

Suddenly Imelda arrives back to the table, all smiles and

full of chat and reaches for her drink.

This stops him in his tracks. A pained expression fills his

face, but he clearly can't bring himself to go on. Ernie

turns back to him.

ERNIE (CONT'D)

Are ye with us Bill?

BILLY:

Go on lads... I'm... I'll see ye's

later.

Ernie shrugs his shoulders and follows Eoghan back towards

the table.

Billy continues to WATCH them as they deliver the drinks and

Imelda mouths a big 'Thank you' to her Father and smiles her

beautiful smile.

14 INT. SITTING ROOM - NIGHT 14

BREDA FARRELL (34) sits, engrossed at something on the

TELEVISION.

We HEAR the RISING SWELL OF AN ORCHESTRAL FILM SCORE.

Breda switches off the TELEVISION and leaves the room.

15 INT. BATH ROOM - NIGHT 15

Breda runs the bath. She watches the water gushing out of the

taps.

16 INT. CORRIDOR - NIGHT 16

Breda carefully opens a bed room door and looks in on TWO

CHILDREN fast asleep in their beds.

(CONTINUED)

17 INT. BATH ROOM - NIGHT 17

Breda lies in the bath up to her neck in the water.

She LOOKS down at her toes that ripple the surface.

She closes her eyes.

18 EXT. CANAL BANK - NIGHT 18

A LINE OF VERY STILL FEMALE FIGURES stand on the bank in

silhouette. As a light shines along them, we PICK OUT Breda.

She is made up and wears an ATTRACTIVE PURPLE SUMMER DRESS.

A MALE FIGURE approaches her in silhouette.

19 INT. BATH ROOM - NIGHT 19

Breda opens her eyes. She clutches the side of the bath with

one hand.

We SEE that her other hand has disappeared between her legs.

She begins to BREATHE MORE HEAVILY.

20 EXT. CANAL BANK/CRUISER - NIGHT 20

Breda takes the MAN'S HAND and steps onto a CRUISER.

We SEE a cabin door opening.

21 INT. BATH ROOM - NIGHT 21

Breda closes her eyes as her BREATHING BECOMES HEAVIER AGAIN.

22 EXT. CRUISER/CABIN - NIGHT 22

Breda lies with her eyes open, beginning to feel real

pleasure as the MAN kisses her neck and down her body.

MAN'S VOICE

Breda...

Suddenly, we HEAR the LOUD RING TONE of a MOBILE PHONE.

23 INT. BATH ROOM - NIGHT 23

Breda's eyes SNAP OPEN and, very flustered, she manages to

stop what she is doing.

EDEN - Shooting Script - 18 JUNE 2007 8.

CONTINUED:

She reaches over and whips the PHONE up, checks the number,

gives herself a second, then answers it.

BREDA:

(into the phone)

Eilish.

EILISH (O.S.)

(over the phone)

Ye'll never guess, I have James

Galway chattin' me up.

BREDA:

You're not goin' to-

EILISH (O.S.)

- No! Jaysus, he can keep his

golden flute to himself.... Billy's

up at the bar skullin' pints....

Breda doesn't respond and there is an awkward second.

EILISH (O.S.) (CONT'D)

Come here to me... Ye should be out

here.

BREDA:

I... I know sure...

The phone signal starts to BREAK UP.

BREDA (CONT'D)

Eilish?... I can't hear ye...

Eilish?

EILISH (O.S.)

Listen, I'll see ye tomorro-

The signal CUTS OUT. Breda switches the phone off.

24 DELETED. 24

25 INT. GOLF CLUB - NIGHT 25

Billy sits alone at a table, surrounded by a SEA OF PEOPLE

standing around, chatting and laughing with each other. He

looks down aimlessly at the GOLF LEAFLET. He then SEES Eilish

giving Tony a kiss on the cheek and leave him.

Billy's face brightens up.

EDEN - Shooting Script - 18 JUNE 2007 9.

26 INT. GOLF CLUB - LATER 26

The bar's shutters are being pulled down. Billy puts a PINT

down in front of Tony and pats him on the back.

Tony raises his eyes to heaven and shakes his head.

TONY:

Not even for old times sake she

wouldn't.

Billy's attention has switched to Imelda, her arm wrapped

tightly around a very tipsy Ernie, heading for the exit door.

Tony turns into Billy.

TONY (CONT'D)

(indicates Imelda)

Amazin' that such a beautiful ride

of a thing could ever have been a

product of his sack.

BILLY:

Remember the night you tried it on.

Tony shakes his head and drinks.

Billy LAUGHS and playfully ruffles Tony's perfect hair.

BILLY (CONT'D)

Ye know somethin' James Galway, I

think your flute's losin' its

touch.

Tony immediately presses his hair back into place.

They turn to SEE Imelda trying to move Ernie who is dawdling

at the exit.

ERNIE:

(to Imelda)

Where's your mother? I can't see

her.

Imelda patiently manages to move him out the door.

Billy nudges Tony, who is just in time to see the TWO BOYLAN

BROTHERS leave surreptitiously with Yvonne through a side

emergency exit.

Billy and Tony exchange a knowing look and grin.

27 E XT. GOLF CLUB - NIGHT 27

A TAXI pulls up outside the now darkened club house. As Billy

and Tony move towards it, they HEAR the REV OF AN ENGINE.

A WHITE VAN with the two Boylan brothers sitting in front

suddenly speeds out from behind the clubhouse and drives on

up towards the front gates.

28 INT. TAXI - NIGHT 28

Billy and Tony get into the back of the taxi and nod to the

DRIVER.

As the taxi pulls away, they both look out the rear window to

SEE Yvonne appearing from behind the club house, fixing her

dress and hair, as she walks on towards her MERCEDES.
