[somber orchestral music]

[machinery whirring]

- Well, what's going on

in those new houses?

- How do you mean?

- Well, you're the first person

from up there

to put a bit of business

my way.

That's all.

- Oh, well, there's never

anyone around.

They go to work before dawn

and don't get home

till after dark.

- Mad, isn't it?

[laughter]

Well, if you are talking

to any of them,

let them know l can supply them

with everything they need

on the DlY front, huh?

- Mm-hmm.

- There you go.

That what you had in mind?

- Perfect.

- Oi, Francie.

l'm Joe, by the way.

You're welcome to the area.

- Thanks.

Molly.

- Come on, Francie.

[phone chiming]

- [frustrated sigh]

No.

[phone beeping]

[faint barking]

l wasn't sure if you got

my message.

- l was in the area.

- What?

- No, but your message sounded

a bit panicky.

- Did it?

l'm a bit embarrassed now.

lt's no big deal.

- What's up?

- Well, you see, l do research

work for this arts program.

l read books and prepare briefs

for the presenter.

- Oh, all right, so he can sound

like he's read everything.

- Yeah, anyway, all of a sudden,

they have to have the stuff

by tomorrow,

and l was in the middle

of all this.

- You want me to finish it?

No problem.

- Sorry if l made it

sound like a crisis.

- No, no, it's fine.

l'll start straight away.

Hello?

- Hi.

- Guess what time it is?

- Oh, my God.

- Can you spare a minute?

- Of course.

- Cool.

- [gasps]

Oh, thank you!

- Yeah, it's not bad.

You happy?

- Yeah.

- Good.

l'll come back tomorrow

and make a start in the hall.

- Really, do you mind?

- No, of course not.

- That would be so fantastic.

But listen,

that's it for the favors now.

From now on,

you have to let me pay you.

- We'll talk about it tomorrow.

l'd better be off.

Right.

Sweet dreams.

Good buy.

- Yeah, l think so.

- You should see the kip

of a flat l'm renting in Dublin.

Jesus.

- What brought you back

to lreland?

- Well, l know how this sounds,

but l missed the lrish girls.

- [laughs]

- No, seriously,

'cause l started to do

the rounds while l was away.

- Oh, how do you mean?

- Oh, let's see.

Two Spanish girls,

not at the same time, obviously.

- Oh, obviously.

- Manuela, and...

oh, Christ,

what was her name?

Oh, God.

- Oh, moving right along.

- Okay, a very serious

Swiss girl, Natalie.

- Oh, yeah?

- Okay, okay, enough.

So now you're looking

for a sweet flame-haired collie?

- Yeah, yeah,
