about setting up

an old man's club,

it's hardly serious.

- Oh, f*** sake Well.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- Who told you?

Rosaleen again?

She never knows when to

keep her big mouth shut.

- Tell me why.

- I'm sorry, all right.

- Fine, just tell

me what I came here

to find out and I'll

get out of your way.

- You tell me why, and

I might give it to you.

- Because I wanna know,

that's why, why else?

- Well you see, that's

where you're going wrong.

It isn't what you want

in life that's important,

it's what you need.

Wait here.

Is this what you need?

- How long have you had this?

- For a while now.

Now listen, I had

this information

because I wanted to do

something about it myself.

Way back when you were

too young to understand.

And the only reason

I didn't follow

through on it was

because of my family.

That's a lotto lose.

- That's where you

and me are different.

You still have yourfamily

and I want mine back.

- I like to think

of you as my family.

- You know what I mean.

- I know.

When I took you in,

I held you in my arms

and I saw that your

heart was broken.

As time passed, I

got to see it mend.

I don't want you turning back

into that wee sad girl again,

especially after

all this progress.

I hope you get what

you're looking for.

- Well.

Well, can you wait?

Well, can you just

wait up for a second?

Are you all right?

- Yeah, everything's fine.

Why?

- Why?

You just looked really

aggravated earlier

before you wanted

to speak to Rueben.

What did you want to

talk to him about?

- I told you it's

none of your business.

- But it is though.

- What?

- It is my business,

especially if you've

started hurting yourself again.

I'm the first person

you need to be

talking to about

that sort of thing.

- What possibly makes you think

that that's your business?

- Because I'm your boyfriend.

- Look Ethan, we go

over this all the time.

I see you like my brother.

- Look. I got you something.

- What?

- I was in town, walking

around the market,

and I found that

and thought of you.

Do you like it?

- It's lovely, but

I can't accept this.

- Well, if you don't have it,

then I'm not gonna give

it to anybody else, am I?

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

Look, um, you just

seem really stressed

and I really think it would

do you a world of good

to talk to somebody

about what's going on,

especially because

I've told you all about

my own foster parents

in the first place.

- I just don't want

to talk about this.

- That's not how this works.

- I've got to go.

- Can you just,

for a second, wait?

- Would you get off?

- And we can talk.

Why won't you just tell me?

- NIAMH:
Get off.
