Run & Jump Page #3

Synopsis: Vanetia Casey (Maxine Peake), the spirited and impossibly optimistic center of the Casey family, is working hard to get life back to normal after her 38 year-old husband, Conor (Edward MacLiam), suffers a rare stroke which changes his personality. Tweedy American doctor, Ted Fielding, (Will Forte) arrives in Ireland to stay with them for two months: his research grant providing the Caseys with essential financial aid. Vanetia's a dynamo. But with two young kids and both men in the house, she's feeling bombarded and initially treats Ted and his study of Conor with resistance. Only when she observes Ted's calming influence on the family does she begin to value his friendship, and, in return, Ted enjoys their heady, happy-go-lucky world. But Ted's continued presence in the house sets the family on course for an emotional collision. Directed by Academy Award®-nominee Steph Green and featuring Saturday Night Live star Will Forte in an impressive dramatic debut, this life-affirming film embr

As in a cup of tea?

No, as in an afternoon tea.

Sandwiches.

You know, cake, tea.

And I just thought, um, you know,

"What does he mean?

What does -- what does that mean?"

It's like some sort of --

it's like a downgrade.

Ohh.

Where?! Where?! Where?!

Papa Schnitzel, wake up!

- Con.

- Yeah?

Conor.

Papa Schnitzel.

Come, sweetheart.

Conor, get off, get off,

get off me!

Conor, get off me!

It's okay.

It's all right.

It's all right.

You were sleepwalking.

Okay?

Okay.

All right.

We just have to leave it

behind this time.

I don't think so.

In you go. Go on.

I want to break that camera,

Dr. Fielding.

I swear to God.

When it's too late to go home

And you're tired of being alone

I can see it in your face

I can see it in your face

When you're running out of time

And you need some...

I won't break your camera,

Dr. Fielding.

I swear to God...

Again.

Thank you.

That would be good.

Uh, Mrs. Casey?

Vanetia, for Christ's sake.

Two weeks of "Mrs. Casey" is

long enough.

And I'm gonna call you Ted...

Ted.

Where did the "Schnitzel" thing

come from?

Oh.

Well, the Schnitzels -- they were

this Austrian family

Conor and I met on our honeymoon.

They were always

ridiculously cheery.

"Impossibly optimistic" is how

Conor described them.

- That's funny.

- Hmm.

I've been Schnitzel-ing the sh*t

out of it, haven't I?

- Night.

- Good night.

Week 3, tape 9 -- second family

outing to the store.

Oh, this zip keeps sticking.

Sorry, Noni, you're gonna have

to go like that.

Okay.

Going outside.

Going outside!

Did you see that?

Will he ever get the money

thing?

You know, never mind.

Don't tell me.

I don't want to know.

Sympathy Susan alert.

Who's sympathy Susan?

You poor thing.

How are you coping?

How is he today?

Must be desperate.

I hate pity.

It is like someone wrapping a wet

blanket around you when you're cold.

And that woman can talk.

- Vanetia Casey!

- Ah! Susan!

How are you coping?

Brilliantly, thanks!

Oh, and have you met

my what's-ologist?

This is Dr. Fielding.

Hello, doctor.

I have heard about you.

You're from America.

I could tell by the tan.

You wouldn't get many around

here with a tan like that.

How's poor Vanetia?

I mean, there's probably no recovery

from this, is there, doctor?

- Well, I --

- I doubt it very much.

I mean, my brother knew

somebody who -- and so young.

I mean, it's so shocking.

How are you getting on there?

I should actually...

What is that Conor?

Come on. Let's go.

This is you, Ted.

Contaminations continue, mostly

when Conor is distracted or tired.

Obsession with making wooden

spheres continues.

Come in.

Can you come

into the kitchen, please?
