HOTEL TITANIC
AUGUST 15, 1969
- Hello. - Are you okay, Frankie?
- Very well. - Buddy!
- Are you okay, Paddy? - Buddy!
- You can't catch me. - I'll catch you, you'll see.
OK?
Buddy!
I'm fast, not you. You are slow.
I will catch you.
Hi, Moira. How are you?
- Very well thank you. And you? - I'm fine.
And he dribbles. Make, now!
- Buddy! - Yes!
N. IRELAND
Don't cheat. I did it fair, I tell you.
You almost got me.
Yes! Dragon Slayer!
Hey, Buddy!
I win! I killed the dragon!
Your mother is calling you! Your tea is ready!
You guys too!
Yes!
- I'll get you next time. - Yes!
- Come back here! - You bastard!
- Hello, Buddy. - Hello, Mrs. Ford.
- You fought dragons? - Just one or two.
I have one or two at home.
- Really, Mr. West? - Yes.
- Can you lend us a shield? - I'll see what I can do.
- Say hello to your daddy. - I will do it.
Buddy, your mother is calling you for your tea.
- Thank you, Mrs Kavanagh. - She says it's guts and onions.
She didn't say that.
- In a sandwich. - She didn't say that.
She says you are a horrible man.
And she is right.
Please, we haven't done anything.
Bring the children in!
Get out of here. Go on!
We don't want any trouble.
Go on! Get inside!
Mom!
Get out of here.
- We told you. - Buddy!
Mom!
Buddy!
Mom! Mom! Mom!
Keep your head down and move more.
Will!
- Maman! - Will!
- Enter there. Go on. - Danny, where are you?
Get down and move more.
Don't tell anyone.
- Catholics out! - Calm down, folks.
Take them upstairs!
Catholics out!
Go into the house. Mom!
Alright, come on!
Mom! What's going on?
Hold it there and move more.
- Mom, what are you doing? - Will, stay where you are.
Mom!
We warned you! Get that garbage off your street!
And if you speak to the police, we will come back for you too!
Fuck the Catholics out!
Clear the street. Go now.
Down! Everyone down!
Stand back!
Lord.
Belfast was in shock this morning
the impact of the riots last night was evident.
A small number of Catholics
still living peacefully in Protestant neighborhoods were targeted.
Their homes have been attacked and marked,
and intimidation risks forcing them to leave their homes.
Will these closely linked neighborhoods be able to
find the peace they shared just 24 hours ago?
Additional reports suggest ...
Up front, Frank. I'll show you where I put them.
We have to put up this barricade before the children come back.
Are we bringing all those cobblestones to the barricade?
- Shall we bring them all? - We need them all.
Poor Jane is well?
Don't worry, Paddy. We won't let them come back.
You are welcome in this street just like us.
- OK, Buddy? - We'll need more.
There are four houses left, this is the last pane of glass.
Fergus did not come home. I'm going to see Mrs. McGuinness.
I saw Fergus down the road. It is happening now.
The police won't protect us,
we have to do it ourselves.
- Can't you carry more? - Children, come home.
Stay indoors until it is safe. Go on.
Can you carry this in front?
Frankie will show you where we put it.
Tell Paddy I'm coming to fix this.
I have to go get my tools.
Be careful on the way up, darling.
Put the pallets here.
Keep children away from sharp edges.
- Everything on the floor. - My washing machine inside.
- Bring them all. - Carry on. We need more.
Bring it up here. Keep going.
Come on guys!
Clear those streets now!
Clear the road. Stand back!
I just arrived from the airport.
I arrive from the airport. I live on this street.
These are my children there. I live at number 96.
Go over there, quickly.
- Quick. - Lord.
- Stopped. - Leave him. Her children are ...
- Where are you going, honey? - Take my husband home.
It's him on the other side.
- Where did he go? - That's none of your business.
Not there when you need it? It sucks, right?
- He works in England. - Ah? What does he do?
- He's an assembler. - I see.
Did he put together one of those groups that messed up here?
He didn't know any of this.
That's what he's here for. He comes home from work to see his family.
Glad to hear that.
- Hello. - Everything is fine?
All residents of this street are asked to stay indoors.
They almost got you, Steve McQueen.
- I'll knock you out in a second. - Stop.
Hi guys.
Stay home tonight.
Thank you so much.
- OK? - Yes.
Did they attack you?
No. It was only Catholic houses.
These guys want to kick them out.
These people don't bore you on the streets, do they?
Not at all. They are friends, families, like us.
- They just have another religion. - Exactly.
My best friend on the street is Ms. Ganjawala.
She is Indian. She even comes to the small mission with me.
These curries. I tasted one one day.
I had to wear a diaper for a week.
- Will. - Mom. Sorry, Grandma.
She is able to take care of herself.
So much joy, that stimulates you, doesn't it?
I'm not going to be able to climb Cave Hill anytime soon , eh?
- We don't know how… - Not easy.
… It will affect their studies.
Will, can you turn off the TV and talk to your grandma?
- Hi, papi. - Hi, Buddy.
Are you coming to drink your tea at my place?
Does the doctor want to see you again?
Yes, he gave me a letter for the hospital.
- Have you been there? - It is useless.
You have some big decisions to make, son.
Did you fix that little problem we were talking about?
Hey, little guys.
We're not deaf here.
Paddy Kavanagh told me that as long as Catholics confess
everything they do wrong to a priest,
they can do whatever they want and God will always forgive them.
Paddy Kavanagh's family will no longer live here
a long time, so make sure he doesn't laugh at you.
I don't know how it works.
We pour a lot of water on them and everything is fine. I believe that is it.
Why do not you come?
Your father and I need to talk.
God understands. Go on.
- Enough to? - It's my little secret. Go on.
I had too much of God for the day.
Your grandma says we can't have too much of God.
You might need him soon.
Listen, stop your nonsense
and I'll take you all to the movies tomorrow.
Fantastic!
The Seven Chicago Thieves spend the afternoon at the Capitol.
Paddy saw it.
- Wait, are they gangsters? - A musical.
No. There is Little John and the swords and all that.
You can't go tomorrow. Your cousins ​​will be there.
Your uncles and aunts want to say goodbye to your father.
But daddy, won't you be a guard on our barricade?
Let’s stop talking about the damn barricades.
This nonsense will stop soon.
I'm not so sure.
Stop making that bad face, son.
They can both go and pray that this will end,
and we'll all go to the movies tomorrow. Dad will choose the movie
and we will forget all these morons
before I go back to work.
It's our side that did all this to these Catholic houses
on our street, daddy?
There is not our side and their side in our street.
It wasn't the case before, anyway.
The problem is goddamn religion.
So why are you sending us to church?
Your grandma would kill me, otherwise.
But daddy, if we were Catholics, we couldn't go to church
and from time to time, we would go to confession
and they would have to forgive us,
and we wouldn't have to go back for ages.
I have nothing against Catholics, but it is a religion of fear.
Protestants, you will die!
In agony!
And where will you go
when will you leave this pestilential mortal remains?
Where?
I am going to tell you.
Imagine the scene.
A fork in the road.
On one side, a straight and narrow highway.
On the other, a long and winding road
which spans an unknown distance.
One will take you into the bosom of the Lord's grace,
where you will be caressed for eternity with beatific love.
And the other will throw you
in an eternal pit of sulphurous and purulent pains
from which, through the Seven Circles of Hell, you will never escape.
And I ask you here and now,
which route will you choose?
Now the money.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you so much. Really good.
KING ARTHUR
THEY SLEEP SUCH A SLEEP THE MEN I LOVE
Remember, one slice per sandwich.
I don't want to give too much.
Form a queue to be allowed to go on the street.
Yes, line up here to be admitted onto the street.
- What do we have left? - One at a time.
No body search this time, Frankie?
Who do you belong to?
You know very well who we belong to.
I take my wife to her sister's house, I've been doing this all my life.
- House number? - No number. Just a name.
What's the name?
Asshole.
Very funny, Mack. Always joker. Clear.
We're not going to ask them for their name and number anymore .
We know where they live.
Do you like it?
What's it like, Ginger Rogers?
Come on, Fred Astaire.
- You can tell them apart by their first name. - How? 'Or' What?
If he's a Patrick or a Sean he's a Catholic,
a Billy or a William, he's a Protestant.
But there are more names than that.
I know. But these are the most obvious.
And Maurice?
I do not know.
We have a little guy named Thomas on our street. What is he?
- Protestant, for sure. - No. He is Catholic.
- No, he's not. - He is.
They burned down his house the other night because his family is Catholic.
We have a cousin named Thomas.
I know. That's what I mean.
So how are we supposed to know?
- We have to teach you that. - Who tells you that?
So the doctor said, "John, I have bad news, and worse."
And John says, "What's the bad news?"
He said to her, "You only have 24 hours to live."
John replies, "This is horrible. How can we do it worse?
The doctor said to him, "Well, I've been trying to reach you since yesterday."
Why do you want to know?
In case they attack you.
- When? - When we're outside.
If they attack you,
they won't stop to tell you their first name.
- It wouldn't go that far. - Why?
Because you are using your secret knowledge to bluff them.
What are you talking about?
They can pop up in front of you when you don't expect it and ask yourself:
"Are you a Protestant or a Catholic?"
But that's a trick question, because they don't tell you what they are.
And what do you say to not get knocked out?
- "I am catholic"? - False.
This is the answer they expect.
They think you're trying to bluff them.
- Must be a double bluff. - That is to say?
You tell them: "I am a Protestant."
- But I'm a Protestant. - Exactly!
Blanchflower is in the middle line. He looks up.
Is there anything this midfielder can't do?
Perfect deep pass!
Nice pass, son.
Could you come home
tell your father that I would like us to have a little chat?
It's Bill Clanton.
Et McLaury.
What do you want?
We want to clean up the community a bit.
You don't wanna be the different guy on this street.
You saw what happened to your neighbors on the other side.
If you touch my family, I'll kill you.
Calm down, boy. I am a Protestant like you.
- Everything is fine? - Yes, it's okay, Mackie.
Look, things are quickly escalating around here.
Money or commitment.
The guys who cleaned up your street made me their new local chef.
You can tell me about one or the other.
OK?
Think about it.
to contact you.
Buddy, come on. Show me how we play this game.
Come. Let's go check it out.
All the grown-ups are gone.
Buddy, give your brother a hand. Lift that sofa up, okay?
- You can help us? - Yes Madam.
Want to put your gun down?
No, it's okay thanks.
Don't scratch my walls with this.
Its good? One minute. It worked earlier.
I go there first.
- OK? - Stewart.
- Frankie. - How are you?
Are you okay, Frankie? Is that you all this time at the barricades?
It has to be done. Better if it's me and not Billy Clanton.
Yes.
Few people choose this.
Some are hiding behind the barricades.
They will continue out of fear for their families.
It's a game of patience.
When that wall is ready to fall. I'll be the first to attack, but now?
"No less is useful who stays there and stands ready."
We can't all play Solitary Vigilante.
No wonder you chose this movie.
It is instructive for the boys.
Yes.
Raquel Welch is quite an education.
If you are asked to join something, to deliver something,
to send messages, you do nothing, okay?
Tell your mother about it, she'll tell me and I'll fix it. OK?
- Yes Dad. - Very well.
I'm proud of you, son. Now both of us in bed.
I will get up too early to see you,
so make sure you get to school. OK?
Be good, I'll see you in two weeks.
- Yes Dad. - Good boys.
A fork in the road.
On one side, a straight and narrow highway.
Which route will you choose?
You strut like someone important
without paying your taxes, spending all our money on horses.
It is the job of construction. It doesn't work in the normal way.
- I told you I'd take care of it. - I took care of it.
No, you made us pay three years of back taxes.
To avoid the bloody jail.
We are drowning in debt.
We are almost done paying the arrears.
Ten pounds a month for three damn years.
Now is the time to think about a new start.
I only know Belfast.
Exactly.
There is a whole world to discover.
We can give these boys a better chance than ours.
Commonwealth countries need traders.
You will have a government assisted passage .
You can take the whole family halfway around the world for ten pounds.
We are in the middle of a civil war,
and I'm not here to protect my family.
What is it supposed to be?
An escape route.
Close this street.
Hurry up. We're going to be late again.
Go on!
More than one.
Come on, you two. At school.
- We walk. We don't run. - Hello miss.
PRIMARY SCHOOL
Twelve times eleven 132.
Twelve times twelve 144.
Your multiplication tables
are more impressive than your exam results.
The purpose of these weekly reviews is to track your progress.
The best will sit near my desk, the place where we learn,
and the rest of you will see their wasted tasks
of the distance you have imposed on yourself
for lack of application.
Billy Clanton Junior, 17%. Back row, seat 12.
Rachel, place 11.
Martin, place ten. Freddie, seat eight.
Karen, place four.
And in the medal positions this week,
with 72%, bronze, Buddy, place three.
Of course, still a silver medalist, Ron,
and Catherine, another gold medal this week.
Congratulations, Catherine. Well done.
The little one still shows interest, eh?
She looks at me sometimes
but we are not allowed to speak in class,
so I can't say anything.
And when we go to the playground, she leaves with the other girls.
I mean, I think she likes this other guy.
You are not sure.
Women are very mysterious.
And they can smash your face too.
Your grandma becomes less mysterious over time.
So, do you really like her?
When I grow up, I want to marry her.
Yep, looks like you really like her.
You know, she ain't fair at school.
You could see where she lives.
Reynolds Drive, after four houses on the right,
the one with the twisted eight.
You did your research.
I walk past each day on my way home.
I try to look inside but she never sees me.
She still does her damn homework.
If she were dumber like me, we'd be sitting together.
"A pity which is beyond comprehension is hidden in the heart of love."
He always has pretty answers.
Come. It's time to go.
Your mom will get upset if you're late.
- Hi, son. - Hi.
Take the three-penny coin. Buy yourself a candy.
I'm not allowed, Grandma. Daddy says you can't afford it.
I always say to him:
"What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine."
Thanks, Grandma.
Find out what this little girl is thinking.
Good luck with that, son.
Give me the ball!
Pass it. Pass it. Goal!
Yes, friend. You just gotta tell us where you went, okay?
Yeah, against the wall.
Will.
What route do we take?
I don't remember.
The pastor talked about which road?
The farm.
GOOD ROAD
BAD ROAD
And in this already tense atmosphere,
we fear the intimidation which is spreading in the working-class areas.
Other reports suggest ...
Get up. Stop dragging your ass around here.
- You hurt my arm. - Stop whining.
- Show me where he lives. - Dad, I'm sorry.
Tell me exactly what he said.
That he couldn't give the streets more money.
- He won't tell my son that. - Daddy, stop!
- Stewart! Stewart! - Please!
You're angry, Billy. Go home, will you?
We have no reason to fight.
Oh yes? What are we saying already?
A fist is worth the man who uses it.
Remember this.
Good Lord. Billy!
- Shut up, Frankie! - Come on, Billy. It's too much now.
We don't need to add more.
Billy, stop. You're settling old scores.
Hello to your father.
Tell him I'm waiting to hear from him, or he will have mine.
Go to the top of the stairs.
23, 24, 25, 26.
THE LEGAL OCCUPANT
OFFICIALLY PAID
What are you doing?
I have to talk about my favorite vacation.
What are your favorites?
I do not know. We didn't have a lot of them, did we?
No it is true.
Unbelievable. They won't get away with it.
And it has to be returned today, so there is nothing I can do about it.
- Hello, Buddy. - Hello, Mr. West.
- Okay, go ahead now. - Thanks, Mr. West.
Tell your dad to come see us when he gets home this weekend.
He's not coming home this weekend.
That's a shame. Tell your mom I asked to see him, okay?
- Yes. - Tell your brother
that I need another small delivery of milk.
Tell him to come see me after school. OK?
Why isn't your father coming home?
He can't come home every weekend.
It's too expensive.
You won't have your miniature car, then?
One.
I am coming.
- You want to join a gang? - I'm not allowed.
- Why? - My mother said she would kill me.
She doesn't need to know. This is the goal.
- Are you in a gang? - Yes.
- What's his name? - No name.
- Why not? - It must be secret.
This is what we tell you.
What are you doing?
I'll tell you when you're in the gang.
- How much are you? - Not allowed to say it.
- What do you have to do to join? - What they ask you.
If your dad doesn't come home this weekend, you could come with us.
I do not know. I try to practice my math.
So, you're crazy. Go on.
If your dad isn't here, what are you going to do?
GROVE PARK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Go on.
For God Sake. It takes forever.
The long division is aptly named.
Patience with the sums. Patience with the girl.
Is it 27?
It's pretty close.
I will make sure that your figures are not very legible to me.
She will give you the benefit of the doubt
if your seven looks like a one with a fancy tail, eh?
Same with a two and a six. Let her guess.
That means you'll have two or three horses in each race.
Isn't that cheating?
I would say this is an approximate bet.
And if you take a seat
to be in the light of his glory, you will come out a winner.
But there is only one correct answer.
If it was true,
people wouldn't blow themselves up all over town.
My father wants us to leave Belfast.
What do you want?
Every night before I go to sleep, when I say my prayers,
I ask God to make sure that when I wake up,
I am the best footballer in the world.
And I ask him too
to marry Catherine when I grow up.
Even though she loves Ronnie Boyd.
She could still see him, but she would marry me.
That's what I want.
I have to watch the boys.
I can't go home every weekend.
If that's asking too much of you, don't blame me for what they're doing.
That's not what I mean. You can't summon this ...
It's 6 a.m., folks. You have finished.
What did I do?
How are you mom?
Why are you always sad when a letter arrives?
Come on, Mr. Snail. Come in now.
And finally, a change in the position of the medals.
Mr. Buddy, you haven't improved your math writing,
for which, due to your increased efforts,
we are ready to give you the benefit of the doubt,
but you improved your grade.
So, in second place, Buddy.
Be careful what you want.
That's what the pastor of the little mission said.
When will you have another chance?
We have to do a project on the moon landing.
Didn't those guys come back from there?
Yeah, and now we gotta cut things from the newspapers,
and explain how they got there.
If they really went to the moon,
that's not what it says here. God doesn't like it.
And I looked every night when they were up there
how come i never saw mike collins in orbit?
We would surely have seen the shape of Columbus
in the light of the moon.
It was because he was on the dark side.
Exactly. Where Lucifer hangs his club.
He was on the dark side of the moon most of the time
where you couldn't see it when it was in orbit,
and maybe just when he was about to pop up,
you must have come home to drink your tea.
If I could find something smart
I could stay at the first office and wait for her to come back.
Or you could say the moon is made of green cheese and move back one place.
Or you could work on the project together, the girl and you.
You would have the same note and you would end up in the same place.
But how can I talk to him?
This is gibberish to you, my dear.
Let go of me.
Walk, please. Don't run, thank you.
Thank you.
Well done for your math.
Thank you.
Have you ever been to the moon?
Do you want to go with me?
It will prevent you from feeling cold while waiting in front of our house.
Hey, Romeo, come on!
We have work.
Operation Steal the Chocolate. It's simple.
We walk into the store and we make Mr. Singh talk by the fridge.
He has to move the boxes at the back to get me a lemon Mivvi.
He will have his head down.
You stand in front of the store and when you see that he is not looking,
you are raiding.
What is a raid?
You grab all the candy bars near the cash register.
He'll know we took them if there's a big hole.
You said we'd take one or two so he wouldn't notice.
- I don't want to be arrested. - OK.
- RAS. - No raid. A little catch, okay?
I might take you a chocolate mousse
OK.
- Hello, Mr. Singh. - Hello, Moira. Buddy.
- Happy to see you. - Can I have a lemon Mivvi?
A lemon Mivvi, it comes.
I just need to move a few boxes.
- Hey! - He saw us!
Come here, little brats! I know who you are!
- No, he doesn't know! - Your friend will tell him.
- Are you proud of yourself? - It was Moira.
Enter here.
Get off that damn road or you'll kill someone!
She's going to denounce us! - If she talks, she'll be in trouble!
I know who you are.
What did you take?
You're kidding.
- That's all I could see. - Turkish Delight?
Who the hell eats Turkish Delight? Do you eat it?
No, I don't like it.
Nobody likes it.
- They had nothing else. - Are you blind?
- I must have thought quickly. - Not fast enough.
There were Flakes and Crunchies.
You just had to go in and out and have a quick hand,
and after that it was the chocolate party.
I'm not sure you're good at this.
- Buddy, your father is home. - It's just Wednesday.
He came by taxi.
- And you too. - What?
Don't say a word.
- When did you write to them? - It's not your business.
When did you write to them? It is a simple question.
- It's not your business. - Give me a simple answer.
- I don't want to be questioned. - When?
When the last receipt arrived.
I knew it was the last because in three years,
I counted the envelopes that arrived
and there wasn't even a thank you with that one.
He's the tax collector, for God's sake. Were you expecting Santa Claus?
We tightened our belts and they don't have the decency to say:
"This is it. You're off the hook."
What did you tell them in your letter?
I said I wanted an official statement
that my husband was 100% laundered for back taxes,
they recognized
that everything was correct and in order,
that my family's name was not on an insolvency risk list.
- Lord. By all the saints. - What?
No. No.
Yes Yes. Oh yes.
They decided ... Thanks to your request,
to go back further in my accounts
and they say i owe £ 572 more,
which, based on current earnings, should take five years to pay off.
You sent a very useful letter, eh?
Bastard! You are a bastard and a liar!
That's it, believe the tax collector instead of believing me.
Because I know you!
They will not be happy with your job that you have spun during the week.
I will work on weekends.
When will this work be finished?
This one is almost finished.
There's another one over there, eh?
Yes. A big and long job.
They're asking guys to move out for good.
They offer lodging because of the length of time.
Two years. To build a hospital.
Your father has to go to the hospital.
Tell him about it. He doesn't want to talk to me about doctors.
- It's true? - Just for two days.
A little exam for the lungs.
It's all that damn time in Leicester.
- Where is it? - In England.
Near where daddy works?
Your daddy works near London, the big city.
That was in the countryside.
- What were you doing? - I was a coal miner.
You've had a lot of different jobs.
This, yes.
None of them lasted more than a week.
My mother is worried about you.
Your mother is worried about you.
Grandma is always worried about something, eh?
She is a very caring person.
Sometimes it affects his nerves. Like at your mom's.
Mom is worried too, isn't she?
Dad, are we gonna have to leave Belfast?
All right, Buddy, I'm leaving.
See you next week.
Come in, girls. Catherine. Quinn.
Hello girls. Help me get the pencils out.
Be good, son.
What if you can't be good?
- Be careful. - Be careful.
Looks like it was yesterday that we were at school together.
I don't want you to come near my family.
It's presumptuous from a guy who's never around.
Count on me, I'm there when I need to.
I hope it will be on time.
Things get out of hand quickly around here.
Do you know what's wrong with guys like you?
You think you're better than all of us.
And your problem is, you know you're not.
We will summarize it simply.
You are with us or against us.
Hurry up.
You are weak. It is time for real Protestants to take action.
You are not a true Protestant.
You are an arrogant gangster and always have been.
There are chickens. Careful, you two.
Quick.
Looked. There you are, son.
There he is now.
Hello, son. This policeman just wants to say a few words to you.
There seems to be a misunderstanding
on an event that took place at Mr. Singh's home.
Sit down now.
Do you know why I'm here, boy?
Do not lie to me.
A serious crime has been committed at Mr. Singh's store.
Do you know what i'm talking about
Be well and make my best regards to Josie.
- It will be done. - I like a man in a uniform.
Did he stay a long time?
The apples will sprout again, even if it is on a currant tree.
I haven't even eaten the chocolate!
You are not listening to me.
Yes, I'm listening to you. Listen to me for once.
I try to be realistic.
The police were there today, but not their father,
so, no, you won't preach to me.
I know what you're gonna ...
Yes, send.
- Get him. - To me, to me!
Pass it to me!
Mrs. Ford, are you okay?
Better now that I see you.
- Welcome back. - What a beautiful talker.
You have to be to detect it.
- Hi. - How are you?
The right guy. Do you have a horse for the 2h30 race?
Yes, but if I tell you, the odds will drop.
Lord, I'm not going to bet a fortune.
Fancy Man. Two bets. That should buy you a drink.
- Paddy moving? - Poor Cathos, they have no choice.
- Mad world. - You have to get used to it.
We all live in it now.
All the kids are going crazy in the streets.
What do you want me to do?
You have to talk to the boys.
How many were there?
About ten.
What did your friend do?
He said he would join any gang they join.
He punched the big one and went like lightning.
Me too.
They chased you?
Yes, but we had a head start.
We ran to my uncle Tony, we turned around the corner
before they see us.
We scared my uncle Tony.
He was sitting in the bathroom, betting on his horses,
he dropped his pencil into the bowl.
You already delivered for these guys, huh?
Do you know it's not milk they put in empty bottles?
Now we know it, dad.
You were right to tell me.
Come hold this, son.
Hold it there.
Do you have it?
And in the heart of the violence increased tenfold in the city,
government figures show that the north of Ireland has
the highest unemployment rate in the UK.
WHERE NEXT?
Here it is. The earth.
Do you know where it is?
Sydney.
- Australia? - Yes that's it.
- You know? - Yes.
They have surf and weird football.
And kangaroos on the barbecue.
And a good climate.
Young Joe Turner is there too.
It's true.
Would you like it?
- What? - To move there for a while.
You're kidding.
No. It's right down the side.
It is 16,898 km. Come on, go to school, you two.
Sou.s-ti.tres par su, bTrader
We might as well go to the moon if we go there.
- You already have family there. - A first cousin.
And you have the phone.
And a millionaire to foot the bills?
We can come back sometimes.
By paying how? In a Scottish drizzle?
The family could come for the holidays.
I was not born last rain.
No one here can afford to go there
or take time off if they have a job.
- You just heard the news. - We have to do something.
Here, we are at home.
I hope you are confident, dad.
Do not worry.
Is he gone for the night again?
He cannot neglect his work.
- There is work here - Did you read the newspapers?
It would break my heart if you left but ...
You have to think about them.
We can't all leave. Only the fools would remain.
And no one to make their tea, deliver messages and wipe their asses.
It would stop the violence in ten minutes.
How could I leave Belfast?
I wouldn't worry about it.
The Irish are destined to leave.
Or the rest of the world would have no ads.
Half of us need to stay
so that the other half think sentimentally of those who are gone.
To survive, the Irish just need a phone, a Guinness
and the score for "Danny Boy".
You are an impossible woman, you know?
He sends, he scores.

- Violet, can I ask you a question? - What?
- What did you do with the money? - What money?
The money your mother gave you for singing lessons.
All passengers departing on the Heysham Ferry
must proceed to the boarding area .
Everyone is leaving the country.
People have to move on.
"Too long a sacrifice can create a heart of stone."
Is that the reason?
You do not acquire wisdom by walking in the park.
Your heart must explode.
Mr. the philosopher.
And when your heart exploded?
The time I saw you with those brown stockings.
Good Lord.
I remember.
It took me half a day to brown my legs with tobacco water.
And it took our Annie half the night
to draw the seam on the back of my legs with a pencil.
You didn't understand why you couldn't get your hands on it.
You thought it was magic.
It was magical.
When you have gray hair, people believe your heart has never wavered.
Has yours ever wavered?
He would dance a damn jig every time you appeared.
You were talking nonsense back then and you still do.
Come. We should go.
Jimmy told me he would drive me to the hospital tomorrow morning.
And I told him no.
I'll take you by bus.
I'll let you in and when it's over
you can be sure that i will help you out.
You hear me? I'll take you home.
- You hear me? - Yes, I can hear you, my wife.
When I haven't heard you?
AIRPORT
Depart for Aldergrove in three minutes. Last tickets.
The boss called. They want me to stay.
A permanent job in England.
They want me to go into management.
It's more money.
It comes with a house.
No rent to pay and a chance to own it hopefully.
A little bigger than what we have, a room for each boy.
With a small garden.
Can we play soccer in this garden, daddy?
Yes, son.
If I accept, there will be more money right away.
We would start paying these back taxes.
We won't have that kind of luck in this city, not right now.
Watch out for traffic.
I'm careful, mom. How are you.
Go on. Two minutes. Get on board if you come.
Last tickets.
They seem to really want you to come.
What do you want?
I want my family with me.
I want you.
You and I have known each other since childhood.
We have always known this street and all the streets around it ...
and every man, woman and child that lives in every house,
whether we like it or not.
I like it.
And you say you have a little garden for the boys?
But here they can play wherever they want,
because everyone knows them, everyone loves them,
and everyone is watching over them.
If we cross the sea,
people will not understand anything that is said.
And half of them
laugh at us because we don't talk like them.
The other half, they'll hate us,
for men are killing their young sons in our streets.
They'll think we don't care.
Do you think they will welcome us with open arms?
And say, "Come on.
Well done for stealing our house "?
Things change.
Yes, it's true.
We have to decide before Christmas.
You have to decide before Christmas.
You will come back,
hein, papa?
Watch over your mom.
Be wise.
- If you can't be good… - So be careful.
Alright, let's go. Aldergrove Airport, ladies and gentlemen.
We'll call each other, okay?
Call me. When you get there, tell me.
WHITEABBEY HOSPITAL
I saw you looking at Dr Kildare.
You can talk.
Have you written to Santa?
Yes, but he explained that there is little money this year,
and that you shouldn't expect too much.
Santa has a lot of surplus
if you talk to people who know about it.
Your health is the only gift you need.
You've got the right person to keep your spirits up, eh?
Tell your mom to stop her arrogance or I won't take you to the show.
- What show? - I do not know.
I believe there are Christmas stories in it.
It's my hydraulic system.
And you, be wise. Don't bother your grandpa.
Don't ask for Christmas presents.
He has no money either.
It is the tax collector who has it, like ours.
Do not worry. Your mom will persuade Santa to bring presents.
I don't think so, papi. I always know when there is no money.
Ohé?
- It's for the rent. - I'm going, Mom.
Shut your mouth.
Is your mom here, little man?
There's nobody…
It reminds me
a fantastic little system we used to have for paying rent.
The rent guy was coming
collect the money for each house on the street.
And when he was done
and that all rental books were up to date,
one of the guys was pointing a gun at him in the back entrance
and took the money back from him.
And he returned it to all the residents of the street,
with a small commission for the service.
Yes, it was a very efficient system.
And the rent guy was reacting so well at the end
that they also gave him a small slice and everyone was happy.
Except the committee, I guess.
His job gives my father a house in England if he wants one.
It has a garden and all the rest,
and two toilets, both in the house.
There's nothing wrong with having an outside toilet,
except on an airplane.
My mother says if we cross the sea
they wouldn't understand the way we speak.
That's no problem, son.
I am married to your grandma
for 50 years, I have never understood it.
And if people don't understand you, they don't listen
and that's their problem.
When I was in Leicester they said the same thing about me.
So I had a different accent every day to annoy them.
They never knew who I was.
But I do, and he's the only one who has to know.
You know who you are, right?
Yes, grandpa.
You are Buddy from Belfast 15 ...
where everyone knows you.
And your grandpa is watching over you,
your mom is watching over you, your dad is watching over you,
your grandma watches over you, your brother watches over you,
and the whole family is watching over you.
And wherever you go, whatever happens to you
it will always be the truth.
And that thought will keep you safe.
she will keep you happy.
Can you remember that for me?
- Yes, grandpa. - Well.
You are a good guy.
Forget what your mom and dad want.
What do you want?
I want you and Grandma to come too.
THEATER GROVE A CHRISTMAS TALE
Who wears chains of this size?
Grandma, you are not allowed to speak in the theater.
That makes a hell of a necklace.
When will grandpa be released from the hospital?
When the doctors say his lungs are okay.
When grandpa left for England to be a minor, did you accompany him?
Did you want to do it?
Neither do I.
Did your dad say what he's gonna do?
He says it has to be decided before Christmas.
- When will he come back? - The weekend.
We're going to the movies.
He takes us to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
- What is that? - A flying car.
Oh, my God, I will have heard it all.
She flies off a cliff and you miss falling off your seat.
You want to come?
It will keep you company until grandpa returns.
If God had wanted me to see flying cars, I would have wings.
You like movies, don't you?
I loved cinema when I was your age.
I thought we could climb inside the screen
and visit all those strange places that you saw there.
Like the one in this movie, what was it again?
The Lost Horizons . You saw it?
No. What was this place called , Grandma?
Shangri-La. It was his name.
Have you been there?
There was no road to Shangri-La from our area of ​​Belfast.
Will you go one day?
Shut your mouth. You're gonna get us kicked out.
- Darling. Thank you. - Look at this!
Bute daddy, not me. Mom.
Do not kill me. No, Buddy, no. Hey!
.00 LADDER FOOTBALL TABLE
THE NEW JAMES BOND
THE PUMPKIN FESTIVAL
20 to zero!
Come. Sit down for a little while.
We want to talk to you a bit.
Buddy, mom and I, we wanna talk to you about something
something we must do as a family.
As you know your father is going to England
to work, for some time.
Well, we thought maybe
that we could all go there as a family to live there.
And…
your father saw a small house,
it has a lovely garden and ...
- To play soccer, Buddy. - Yes.
There is a lot of space there. More than here.
- I don't want to go to England! - Turn that off.
I don't want to go to England!
Okay darling.
I have no friends or cousins,
and I won't be able to see Catherine at school anymore .
You will make new friends,
and you will have a large garden to play soccer.
I don't care about the garden.
I want my grandma and my grandpa,
and i want to make my plan to go to the moon
and arrive at the first office,
and I don't want to have to talk strangely,
and I don't want to forget which road to take when I'm dead.
- Nobody tells you to talk weird. - We haven't decided anything.
We were just trying to see what everyone was thinking first.
- You're just exhausted. - Exactly, yes.
I don't want to leave Belfast!
Let's wait until Easter, we'll see where we are.
Yes.
These boys are in pain.
I don't think we have until Easter.
Same thing for both of us.
So come home.
We will fight this together.
Children our age are being killed around the corner.
On fera attention.
You can't be with them 24 hours a day.
You can't take their childhood away from them either.
You know, whatever happens
what you did with them,
it's phenomenal.
What do you mean?
You raised them.
Not me.
Not us.
You.
Thank you.
We'll see what happens at Easter.
I'll take out the trash, make myself some tea, and put them to bed.
Go back to bed.
See you in two weeks.
THREE MONTHS LATER
Hey, you're gonna bring it all down.
-… five… -… six…
-… seven… -… eight…
THOR THE MIGHTY
Moondance to seven to two. He has to win, don't you think?
What's going on in your comic?
He must defeat the monster.
What… These are my chips!
What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine.
Grandma says that. What does it mean?
You will find out. Go wait at your grandma's.
I'll pick you up after seeing my dad, okay?
Alright, dad.
Hey, little guy? You did well not to report us to the police.
- You're one of us. - What do you mean?
You're one of us, and it's final.
- What's this? - It's the war.
Let's go, guys. Let's do it.
- What are we going to do? - What the hell!
We're mad, guys. Rabies.
Authorities urge citizens to return home immediately ...
Take whatever you want!
… And to stay at home until further notice.
- Come on, let's go home. - Takes effect immediately.
They shot us with machine guns.
Armored cars cleared the road for vandals.
Everyone at home.
It doesn't promise anything good. Come on, let's go.
I am coming back home!
- Surely not. - I want to go home!
- You come with us. - I want to go home.
Go on! Smash them!
- Come. Come in! - Come in. Go on!
Calm down. We don't want trouble.
- God in heaven, leave that. - Come. Let's go.
They smashed the windows.
The city belongs to the Protestants!
- Get yourself something. - What?
What you need.
Hey, step back, Fenien!
We take control.
Detergent powder!
Lock the doors!
Mom! Mom!
- What is happening? - Mom!
- We're looting the supermarket. - Where did you find that?
I told you, we're looting the supermarket.
You what? Stay where you are, young man.
Why did you take that washing powder?
It's organic.
I will catch you.
Grab whatever you can.
Smash the entrance!
Come.
Hurry up!
Take the towel.
Be careful what you are doing.
- Clean the shelf! - Take everything.
Put that back on. You hear me?
And if you do something like that again,
I'm killing you, can you hear me?
You, young girl, still train my son
in such a thing and I smash your portrait
until you can no longer fit in. You hear me?
OK. Put it back on, I said.
Hey, woman! We don't put things back in place.
This is not the message we want to give.
Billy, come on. The army is coming. Come!
Outside! Come on, get out!
Go on. Grab that!
- Outside! - Alright Alright.
- Come. - Come!
Clear the street immediately.
Tear gas and rubber bullets will be used.
We evacuate this area. Clear the way!
- It's time to go. - Don't try anything.
You two will ensure safe passage for me and my men.
Try to get away and I put a bullet in your son's head.
There he is, the Lone Vigilante.
Clear this area immediately.
You're the type who needs a little discipline.
- Go on! - Let them go now.
No, if I do that, one of these soldiers will lodge a bullet in my head.
If they don't, I will.
Rather kill them first.
People have a problem with change.
But you better get used to it.
People like me run this town now.
And it's people like you who are holding us back.
Papa!
We'll see each other again, old man,
Thank you.
ORGANIC FAMILY SIZE
Everything will be alright.
I'll talk to the committee, I'll fix it.
There will be no more trouble.
I saw my face in a window
when I was running in the street dragging these poor children behind me.
And I just looked in the mirror ...
the same face.
And I asked myself the question ...
what the hell am I doing?
And I was sick ...
like every morning now.
And I realized ...
that I don't think it matters anymore.
So tomorrow…
when Mack and Aunt Violet come ...
we'll start packing.
You do not have a choice.
You know they're gonna come after you, huh?
And this time, they'll send someone strong.
Go to the moon.
London is just a small step for man.
Belfast will still be there when you come back.
And you?
I'm not going anywhere you can't find me.
Now the project winners on the moon.
So how did it go?
We got a gold star.
Well done to both of you,
Now I have a question and you surely have the answer.
How can I get to the moon with just ten pounds
three umbrellas with holes and my bus pass?
Ulster fry is quite an art, son.
I'm glad your Aunt Violet is upstairs with your mom.
She keeps saying that the north of Ireland
has the highest level of chlomestremol in the world.
Of course, I think it's great that we are champions of something.
Go open it, son, I have this hot pan to handle.
Is your mother here, kid?
Attention, madam! Where's your blind man's cane?
Everything all right, kid?
Can you call my father please?
Show me who it is.
The farmer says, "No," and he says, "But do you have bread?"
Excuse me. Your little guy is here.
Pardon?
- He was a fantastic guy. - My heart hurts for them.
It was good to see him one last time.
Here is.
I'm exhausted.
There, all is well.
Will!
- Everything is fine. - Yes.
Take that note to Mrs. Hewitt and take the little medicine for your grandma.
For his nerves.
Go on.
A lot of people have come to see him today.
Yes. He was very popular.
And he owed half money.
He was helping me with my math.
He was a thinker of great depth.
Of great depth.
Did he help you?
Yes.
Yes, he helped me.
He helped me a lot.
I'll miss him.
We'll give a toast in his honor at the club.
Let's go now, OK?
I'm sure your guy will sing a song with the jukebox.
On top of the world, mom!
On top of the world!
BUS STOP
Buddy. Follow me.
- Hello, Buddy. - Hello.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- I'll be back. - Do everything for that.
- Hi. - Hi.
Dad, do you think we have a future, this little girl and me?
Why not?
Do you know she's Catholic?
This girl may be a practicing Hindu,
or a southern Baptist, or a vegetarian antichrist,
but if it is good and fair,
and that you respect yourself,
she and her people are welcome in our home.
Understood?
Does that mean you and I have to start going to confession?
Probably.
We're in deep trouble, then.
Pars.
Go now.
Do not turn around.
I love you, son.
FOR THOSE WHO REMAIN
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LEFT
AND FOR ALL WHO WERE LOST.
EXCELLENT ACTOR, EXCELLENT FRIEND
