Ratcatcher Page #2

I hate him.

He killed my boy.

Where is James going?

James, get my packages.

Leaving them lying

in the middle of the street. Hurry up.

- James, come here, son.

- Where are you going?

- I was gonna take the packages up.

- Just do what you're told.

Would you give me a little hug?

He's the double of my Ryan, isn't he?

The same eyes.

Yes.

Maybe a little.

Will you do me a little favor?

Will you go up

to Ryan's room for me

and get the little box

on Ryan's bed?

Will you do that for me?

Go on, James. It's all right.

Oh, f***.

They look great.

- They're hurting me.

- Shut up, you.

What do you say?

Say thanks to Mrs. Quinn.

- They're too small.

Thanks.

James, look what I've got.

Ah, it's lovely.

What's its name?

- Suzy. She's a she.

- It's nice.

I've got budgies and gerbils

in the house.

On my birthday I'm getting

rats, tigers, bears,

and mouse-eating snakes.

That's good.

When I'm older, I'm going to have

the biggest zoo in the world.

Look. I'm a member of the RSPCA.

That's good, man.

- What are you looking for?

- Nothing.

Wow, look at all

the little tadpoles in there.

- Have you ever seen a perch?

- A peach?

A perch.

It's about that size,

with spiky, jagged fins.

I saw a guy catch one the other day.

- Was it big?

About that size.

- You want to catch one?

- It's not that easy, Kenny.

I've got a net in the house.

It would pull you under.

- I'm a great swimmer.

- Another time, Kenny. See you later.

James, what am I?

Are you a bird?

No, I'm an ostrich.

An ostrich can't fly.

See you later, Kenny.

James, are you coming

to my zoo tomorrow?

- Maybe. Bye.

- See you later.

Is your mommy home, sweetheart?

She just went out

to see my auntie at the hospital.

Because I thought I saw her

coming up the road there.

She came up

and then she went back out.

I see.

Will you give her this?

Your mom's never in, is she?

Here, give her this from me.

Tell her the rent is due.

Has he gone away?

You could get 50 pence for this.

A nice one there.

The smell in this place!

What's that?

Somebody's tossed out

a perfectly good dog.

- The smell of it!

- It's full of maggots.

- Fancy a swim?

- F*** off.

- Fancy a Ryan Quinn?

- F*** off. You first, mate.

Are you a good swimmer?

In you go.

- Piss off.

- What?

Hey, leave him alone.

Don't do that to the little guy.

- You sh*t yourself.

- Just joking.

Hey, Stephen!

All right! Big man. How are you doing?

We're off to Margaret Anne's.

Keep a look out the window

in case her ma comes.

- All right, Margaret Anne, guess who.

- Billy?

Try harder.

Who is it, Margaret Anne?

Stephen.

Okay, I don't know, but you better

get my glasses back, you prick.
