We SLOWLY APPROACH the BIG TREE, drifting by the PEASANTS.

Suddenly, IMELDA'S FACE, writhed in beautiful blonde curls,

APPEARS from behind the trunk and she looks at us for an

instant.

13 INT. GOLF CLUB - NIGHT 13

Billy, transfixed, watches Imelda dancing until...

Suddenly a GANG OF PEOPLE crowd onto the floor and block his

view of her.

Disappointed, he turns back towards Tony who diverts his

attention to an attractive brunette, EILISH MOORE (34), who

h as just arrived in at the other end of the bar counter.

Tony drains his GLASS and hands it to Billy.

TONY:

Eilish still lookin' fierce well.

Billy nods and smiles as Tony leaves his side and heads

towards Eilish.

Billy WATCHES as Eilish greets Tony warmly and they exchange

a little hug. Tony sits down beside her.

Billy takes a large swallow of his pint and pretends to be

okay, but he curses under his breath as now he is on his own.

As Billy stands, clearly a fish out of water, Ernie Egan

arrives in time to be handed a TRAY OF DRINKS by EOGHAN (29),

a younger, earnest looking man.

Ernie and Billy exchange a friendly nod.

(CONTINUED)

ERNIE:

Is it yourself, Billy?

BILLY:

Think so. See the wife had a good

win.

ERNIE:

Ah yeah, another bit of useless

crystal.

A slow grin comes over Billy's face as he sees that, behind

Ernie's shoulder, the BOYLAN BROTHERS, two fine big country

lads, are over at the table hugging and congratulating his

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.
