Angel Page #3

Synopsis: Saxophonist Danny witnesses the murder of his band manager and a deaf-mute girl after a gig. Questioned by the police, he remembers only the orthopedic shoes of the killers' leader. So begins his quest to avenge her. He seeks an answer to the simple question 'Why?' but finds only more, and deeper, questions which resonate with the wider context of 'the Troubles', the inter-communal strife gripping the modern-day Northern Ireland which is the film's setting.

You'll be alright you know.

Someone's looking after you.

Would you tell me who?

I can see it when you

play .. you're charmed.

This isn't my way Danny.

Sorry. I'm dreaming.

Can we stop for a bit?

I meant that you know.

There is a spell on you.

Now you tell me.

I didn't notice it before.

Maybe I didn't look.

Am I talking too much?

No, you're not.

You say something for a change.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

How nice.

Can I touch your hair.

Why don't you look at me?

Can I kiss you?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

So, you were a convent girl?

Yes.

Is it time to go?

Maybe.

So, why didn't he answer?

Jesus wept.

My God.

He's sleeping.

Let him sleep.

You owe his life.

Come on.

When Ben was on his uppers,

I'd read the cards.

No gigs coming in, so Mae

would read the cards.

Fortunes on the promenade.

The dark lady on a government man.

Nobodaddy walks through him.

Who's Nobodaddy?

He's in the park.

He's got a face.

You can lose him among

all the other faces.

I never know what he looks like.

I just know when he's there.

I tell lies when I feel "him". I say ..

"There will be a wedding

or you'll cross water."

I tell them anything but "him".

You don't have to pay to see "him".

Well, Danny.

Playing again?

A little.

You were supposed to come

and see us .. did you forget?

I must have.

You have a bad memory, Danny.

I know.

Will you take a lift?

Will I mind that for you?

Right.

We can show you every face in

the country, if it would help you.

Catholic, Protestant ..

By the way, in case you are

wondering .. I'm Jewish.

Are you a Catholic Jew

or a Protestant Jew?

They can't all have done something.

Oh yes they can.

That's the beauty of it.

Nowadays .. here ..

Everybody is guilty.

Now see, maybe you're

better off forgetting.

You asked me to remember.

I know .. I know.

But it's deep.

It's everywhere .. and it's nowhere.

What is?

Evil.

Do you know him?

What's over there?

There's the sea.

Would you take me to it?

Would you mind telling me who you are?

I'm nobody. Aye.

And that's nothing you've

got stuck in my back.

I'm a musician.

Don't stop!

I won't .. I won't.

What's your name?

George.

She's very beautiful, George.

Who?

On the wall .. your wife.

She's not my wife. She's my sister.

I don't remember things George.

I want you to help me.

I can't go any further.

I want you to remember for me.

I can't.

I'm bleeding.

I'm sorry.

Don't move.

I won't. I promise.

Now .. tell me.

He was making payments.

Protection money .. he was vermin.

What do you do with vermin?

Tell me about her.

I don't know about her.

She just appeared.

Who shot her?

She reminded me of someone.
