When I met
Michael McNulty...
I knew I would
wait for him forever.
my fighter pilot
if it wasn't
for the terrible man
with the mustache.
When the war
came to Belfast,
I lost my job.
I evacuated
to the Republic,
which was not at war.
I went to work
for my mother's sister
Aunt Eleanor
in her temperance hotel.
Going back
to my childhood home
of Ballytivnan
was like stepping into
a fairytale,
from all of reality.
May I take your cases?
Thank you.
- Hello, Roseanne.
- Hello.
- How was your trip?
- Just fine.
Come on, you two hussies.
Sister.
Let's go.
All were welcome
in my aunt's cafe,
Catholic
and Protestant alike,
depending
on their appearance.
My aunt had a strict
seating policy.
Those who
were allowed inside,
and those
who were kept outside.
- No.
- And those who
weren't allowed at all.
- There you see...
- Hi, Joe.
...poor Joe Brady,
who will die
in the mental asylum
at the top of the town.
Can I have a...
- ring, sugar...
- A donut?
Yes.
Happy as I was,
the fighter planes
beyond Ben Bulben
were always a reminder
that the war
was never far away.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Rose of Prunty's
Temperance Hotel?
- I am.
- I'm Michael McNulty.
Of McNulty Tobacco
and Spirit Merchants.
That's the one, yeah.
We're opposites, so...
Don't they say
opposites attract?
Oh, do they, now?
I'm going away
for awhile, Rose.
I hope you're here
when I get back.
Well, it was nice
to meet you, Michael.
Nice to meet you,
too, Rose.
Rose? Rose Clear?
- I am.
- Haven't seen you
since you were a girl.
At your mother's funeral.
Maybe you've forgotten
what Ballytivnan is like.
You need to be careful
who you fraternize with.
- What do you mean?
- Are you sympathetic?
Where do
your sympathies lie?
With us or with the Brits?
The McNultys are a family
of shopkeepers,
no trade.
Bread buttered
on both sides, understand?
No.
Careful whose side
you take.
I'll be keeping
an eye out for you.
Conas at tu?
Go maith, Toms.
Go maith.
Stop that, Michael McNulty.
Oh, no. Stop it!
Watch out for me,
will you?
You swam
all the way across?
You have to be
careful out there
when the tide is turning.
It looks calm on the top,
but underneath it's churning
like buttermilk.
I'm a good swimmer.
You know, this is not
a spot for ladies.
Well, I didn't see a sign.
Doesn't need a sign.
It's been that way forever.
Everyone knows that.
- I didn't.
- Hmm.
You're not from
around here are you?
You swim over there
on the other side
of the causeway.
All right.
I'll forgive you today.
Are you a policeman?
I'm not.
A lifeguard?
I am a lifeguard
