permission, Liam.

But it clears the way for my stadium

scheme. Want a little stake in it?

Tell you what, Bertie... Thanks, lad.

You'll never be me.

Go and buy yourself some charisma.

Your lipstick's smudged.

You were glorious, Liam.

Over the top, but that's what they

expect of you, the common touch.

Speaking of which,

that blowsy Ursula was throwing

herself at you in front of me.

- Is something going on?

- She's alright.

She's a good friend, Ursula.

There he is. That guy.

I've got to sort this out now.

You go ahead. I'll get a cab.

Is he falling apart, Mum?

He's just a bit jumpy, love.

Connor!

We're on Cheryl's hen night

We're on Cheryl's hen night

Come on, go home!

We're on Cheryl's hen night

Listen to me, stop it! Stop it!

You're not coming in, y'hear me?

Get off! Get off!

I need help!

What're you doing looking at my girl?

Go away! Leave him alone.

He's just a kid, for Christ's sake!

- I'll sort you out!

- I'll break your f***ing head!

Mind your own business!

Over here, Liam!

What?

- What are you doing here?

- Following you.

- Did you see him? You must have.

- Who?

- Why are you following me?

- In case you need help.

- You're such a good kid!

- Dad! They'll think I'm a rent boy!

- Come on, we'll go home.

- You've got to have seen him!

I'll find him. I'll show you.

He's my double.

Do you think there are other realities,

Dad? Other dimensions?

There are more things

in heaven and earth, Horatio.

Right on. Do you still believe in,

like, God?

I do. I just don't like

what he gets up to.

Toilet. Connor, watch the door.

Mum? I found him.

Where are we?

We're in a story by Kafka.

You know, Franz Kafka. He's chasing

his double and quoting Hamlet.

No, I'm not drinking. Well, I might

have a Shirley Temple later.

Connor!

- You're so cute.

- Hi, Samantha.

No one. A girl from school.

I have to go.

Look at me and you're dead.

Do you believe in doppelgngers, Liam?

No, I don't.

"No, I don't. "

Then what can I be, your clone?

I don't know.

- You were adopted, weren't you?

- I wasn't adopted.

- You sure about that, hot shot?

- Course I am.

Twins. Let's say we're twins.

You tried to shoot me.

That wasn't very brotherly, was it?

It's like...

...everything is so now with E.

There's no then,

and you can really see with E.

Everything.

I can see your soul.

With my soul.

It's kind of mauve.

And you can feel it.

Soft and spongy.

And it's... it's like we're merging

or something.

Connor!

I'm sorry. It's my dad.

Or it could be his double.

You have a double?

- Yeah.

- Cool!

- You free?

- Yup.

- Come on, I'll take you home.

- I don't feel well.

Come home with me.

You're grand, see? You're fine.
