LAVELLE:
“Razors pain you.”
FIONA:
(looking at him)
“Rivers are damp.”

22LAVELLE:
“Acids stain you. And drugs cause
cramp.”
FIONA:
“Guns aren’t lawful. Nooses give.”
LAVELLE:
“Gas smells awful.”
FIONA/LAVELLE
“You might as well live.”
They smile.
LYNCH studies them from the other end of the bar.

CLOSE on various angles of the church’s architecture --
windows, steeple, etc. -- emphasising its simple,
unpretentious nature.
FIONA (O.S.)
Back-to-basics, is what you’re
saying.
LAVELLE (O.S.)
Simplicity. Lack of ostentation.
That kind of thing.
LEARY (O.S.)
All your father’s idea. His baby.

LAVELLE, FIONA and LEARY are standing to the front and
sides of the church. LEARY carrying a box of toys.

LEARY:
We couldn’t go on with the old
one anyways. Falling to pieces.
Liable to get someone killed.
*
FIONA:
It’s a good gimmick, I suppose.
LAVELLE:
It’s not a gimmick.
FIONA:
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean...
LEARY:
They’d call it a rebranding in the
advertising world.

FIONA:
I suppose you are a corporate entity,
if you look at it in one way.
LEARY *
It’s the only way to look at it.
We provide a product and a service
and that’s all there is to it.
He strolls away. FIONA smiles wryly. LAVELLE gives a shake
of the head. Glances up proudly at the church.
VERONICA BRENNAN, thirties, wearing shades, pegging up the
linen. White sheets fluttering in the wind. She looks up -
LAVELLE at the other side of the line. His black soutane
fluttering in the wind.
LAVELLE:
Nice shades.
VERONICA:
Do they make me look like Jackie O?
LAVELLE:
Not really, no.
VERONICA smiles. Raises the glasses up on her forehead.
VERONICA:
This what you came to gawp at?
Nasty, hah?
LAVELLE:
It’s an interesting colour.
VERONICA lowers the shades and continues with the laundry.
VERONICA:
They say you can find beauty in
everything, if you look hard enough.
LAVELLE:
I’d say you can find beauty in
most things, but not everything.
That’s nonsense.
VERONICA:
Sure what would I know? I’m just
an auld washerwoman.
The washing that she’s hanging on the line now seems to be
comprised solely of items of lingerie.
VERONICA:
See anything you fancy?

24LAVELLE:
If you don’t want to talk to me,
that’s fine. I’m not here to compel
you to do anything.
VERONICA:
You never know, Father, maybe I’d
like to be compelled. Maybe I’d
enjoy it.
LAVELLE:
I’ll have a word with Jack.
See what he has to say for himself.
VERONICA:
The Grand Inquisitor, hah? Go on
ahead for yourself so. I’m sure
he’ll be only too pleased to have
someone else to bore the ears off.
I stopped listening to his auld
shite a long time ago.
