A Date for Mad Mary Page #2

Everyone you know is gonna be there.

What?

Nothin'.

Sap.

- You're a sap.

- You're a sap.

There he is now, look.

Right, this is for you.

Now, are you sure you're OK doin' all this?

Cos I can get Leona to help if you want.

Right, OK, cool?

- Call you later, right?

- Yeah.

So, basically,

if you punch in something wrong

you just hit void and start again, OK?

It's a piece of piss, really.

Just ask Udel if you need

anything, all right?

I'm on the same shift as you tomorrow.

So I'll see you then, yeah?

OK.

- Thanks.

- No bother.

- Where are you from yourself'?

- Nigeria.

Do you have a girlfriend?

- I have a wife.

- Oh.

I knew the first night I met Declan,

that he was the one for Charlene.

He was a kind-hearted bloke.

And a nice man.

Plus, he bought the two of us loads

of drinks, so that was cool.

Char was always the confident one

with fellas.

Whereas with me,

I never really bothered that much

cos I think most fellas from Drogheda

are all dopes.

No offence, to any of ya's

here tonight, though.

It's sh*t around here now.

Everything's changed.

You're still selling gear?

Nah...

I'm working as a postman.

Your da set that up?

Yeah. Nice one, da.

Do you wanna go on a date sometime?

What?

A date.

Why?

I don't know.

We never did that.

- So?

- Maybe we should.

- For the laugh.

- What are you on about?

I suppose.

Any interest in goin' to a weddin', no?

I'll see ya around, yeah?

Yeah.

I'm Charlene Duffy's maid of honour.

I'm here to pay a deposit

for the weddin' video.

Uh, any chance

you can come back in an hour?

No.

Hey. Um... Uh, come in.

I actually thought this job was cancelled

when I never heard from her.

Here, em.

Where am I, again?

Bewley Mews

Uh, what's the... What's the date again?

28th of March.

Oh, sh*t.

- What?

- I actually can't do it. I have a gig that night.

What?

I have a gig with my band.

Well, can you not cancel that?

No.

Why not?

Because I don't want to.

It's fine. I have a number

here I can give you.

No, she wanted you.

I'm sure Charlene will get over it.

No, she really won't.

What do you want me to do?

Fine.

I will cancel my gig for you.

Thanks.

Bridezilla, huh?

Mind your own business.

What's, eh...

What's her name, again?

Jess.

OK, you owe me.

Oh, thank you.

- Seriously, thank you.

- You're welcome.
