Angel Page #2

Synopsis: Saxophonist Danny witnesses the murder of his band manager and a deaf-mute girl after a gig. Questioned by the police, he remembers only the orthopedic shoes of the killers' leader. So begins his quest to avenge her. He seeks an answer to the simple question 'Why?' but finds only more, and deeper, questions which resonate with the wider context of 'the Troubles', the inter-communal strife gripping the modern-day Northern Ireland which is the film's setting.

spades on the same day at the same hour.

And they know it.

What do they say?

I've lost the knack, son.

You plays the tune.

I've lost my saxophone.

We've all lost something.

You'll remember him in here.

Goodnight.

Goodnight Mae.

Could you accent that a bit more?

It was a bit quiet that time.

Right .. after four.

One , two .. one, two, three, four.

"Looking at you."

"You're not the same anymore."

"What can I do?"

"To stop you going through that door?"

"Light a cigarette .."

Hey!

Somebody down there ..

Oh, for Christ's sake ..

Oh, it's you.

You told me to come.

We did that.

And I'm here.

The lads were .. superstitious.

They wouldn't come back.

Couldn't do without you though.

No?

We hung on to your sax.

I suppose you were wondering about it?

No.

Forgotten how ..

Don't give us that Danny.

You couldn't forget.

It's my hand.

Try "Thicker Than Water".

Just like before.

Do I make you nervous?

Don't worry about it Danny.

You'll get it back.

"Love is thicker than water, baby."

"And deeper than wine."

"You've had a change of heart."

"I wish that somebody changed mine."

Why'd you come in like that?

Like what?

Like a ghost.

I just came in.

The "Stan Getz" of South Armagh.

You're still good you know.

What we need is a bit of glitter.

New suits .. nice jackets.

Long straight lapels down to

about here. And gold clasps.

Long jackets .. with a black or silver

stripe down the side of the pants.

And a flare .. an inset flare.

What colour do you think?

Pink.

Why pink?

It's a nice colour.

What do you think of pink?

It's nice.

Yeah.

Yeah, I suppose "pink".

Give him a chance.

That's what I'm doing.

Who's that?

Monica Vitti.

Who's Monica Vitti?

What is it, Danny?

It's a dream.

What's a dream?

Pink.

Can I help you?

I'm looking for shoes.

Well, this is a specialist shop.

Aye .. you specialize in shoes.

We only deal with prescribed patients.

So how does a body buy your shoes?

Well, you get a prescription.

Via The Royal Hospital.

Been there.

You're wanted on the phone.

Excuse me.

Now look .. I told you

not to call me here.

Is there anything you want?

We're closing for lunch.

No thanks.

Like I said .. try The Royal.

I want to talk to you.

What's your name?

I wanted to tell you how

beautiful she was.

"Here is the proof."

"For the crows to pluck."

"For the rain to gather."

"For the wind to suck."

"For the sun to rise."

"For the trees to drop."

"Here is the strange and the bitter .."

"Crop .."

"That's the business, Danny."

You sounded great there.

Did I?

We're going to play your tune.

What tune?

Danny Boy. For the slow set.

That's not my tune, that's everybody's.
