man in the room.

Well, you'll just have to make

do with me, then, won't you?

That'll do for me.

God, I always forget

how tall you are.

Gerard, sometimes you remind me

so much of your father.

No. He was--

he was taller,

but his hair was shorter.

Ha ha! That's true.

Ha ha ha.

Oh, listen to me.

I just don't understand

why you won't go back

to university.

Oh, don't start lecturing

on at me again

about university.

I don't mean

to lecture you, Gerard.

I just want to know

why you won't go back.

I need to take a year off.

Why? Ow. Ooh.

To learn how to dance.

I just don't want you

to throw your life away.

Hmm?

Ah! Ha ha ha.

Gerard!

Right, kids.

Look who's here.

Ho ho!

Come on up

and pick your presents.

I have to go.

I have someone I have

to give a present to.

Who?

You don't know her.

Oh, what fun it is to ride

in a one-horse

open sleigh

Bye.

Can I have some more money?

I've spent all mine.

You've spent it?

Oh, come on. Let's see

what Santa's got for you.

O'er the fields we go

laughing all the way

bells on bobtail ring

making spirits bright

For God's sake, sit down, ma.

They'll be here.

Aye.

Contact.

Backup, stand by.

Alpha team, stand by.

There they are.

How you doing?

How are you?

Come on.

How are you?

You all right?

Yeah.

Theresa, put that dog out.

All right, ma.

Come on, Shep.

What about you, ma?

All right, Da?

Still running about?

Ah, you're funny, you are.

Hey, ma.

Happy Christmas, son.

You all right?

Oh, yeah.

Can you stay long?

Not too long.

Time for a bit of dinner.

Aye.

Good.

Happy Christmas.

You shouldn't have bothered.

All right?

Aye.

Will you have

a bite to eat, son?

Yeah, OK.

Good. Sit down there now.

All right, Da, you want a hand?

No, no, no. It's all right.

Now leave me alone.

We'll wait for you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It'll soon be new year

before you sit down

there, won't it?

All right. Ha ha ha.

That's grand.

How's it going?

Like it?

I do.

Here, have a cigar.

Cigars--

thanks very much.

Got you a present.

It's--it's Christmas.

Everything's ready now.

Jesus Christ.

Every year we have to sit

beside a bloody empty chair.

- I know, I know.

- He's dead. He's not coming back.

I know. Shh.

God, ma, that looks lovely.

Pass the gravy to

your daddy, Theresa.

Are you still in a bad mood?

Are you still in a bad mood?

Here, take those.

Take those cigars.

Thank you. You might

give us your bad form.

Ha ha. Here you are.

- This way.

- Rrrr...

Unh!

Jesus, Frankie.

Go.

- Ma, what's wrong, ma?

- Oh, Jesus, ma.

Help! Help!

Security forces!

Aah!

No! No, you don't.

Aah! I'm hit.

Aah!

Frankie, we'll

take care of that.
