DON'T JOKE ABOUT THAT.

YOU KNOW:

HE HAS A BAD HEART.

[ CHUCKLES ]

BUT I KNOW YOU DIDN'T MEAN

ANYTHING BY IT.

YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU OUGH TO SPEND MORE TIME

WITH YOUR WIFE-TO-BE.

YOU'RE AN INTELLIGENT WOMAN,

LOUISE.

YOU NOTICE THINGS,

SIZE PEOPLE UP.

YOU KNOW WHEN THEY'RE HAPPY

AND KNOW WHEN SOMETHING'S

BOTHERING THEM.

I WANT YOU TO DO ME

A LITTLE FAVOR.

OF COURSE.

KEEP THAT MICROSCOPE YOU'VE

GOT BUILT INTO YOUR EYE

OFF OF ME.

I'LL SEE YOU.

[ BIRDS CHIRPING ]

THIS WILL TAKE YOU IN,

ALL RIGHT.

OH, THERE'S PLENTY OF VIEW

FROM UP THERE.

MUST BE VERY INTERESTING

TO KNOW ABOUT ALL

THE SECRET PASSAGEWAYS.

OH, I KNOW THEM ALL.

I'VE BEEN HERE 20 YEARS.

20 YEARS?

HOW WONDERFUL.

AH, WELL,

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS.

YOU GET USED TO A FAMILY

AND YOU GET TO LIKE YOUR ROOM

AND YOU GET TO KNOW THE RUN

OF THE HOUSE.

AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT,

THERE YOU ARE -- 20 YEARS.

YOU MUST HAVE:

BEEN HERE, THEN,

WHEN, UH,

THE LITTLE GIRL...

AH, YES.

THAT WAS A SAD THING,

THAT WAS.

LORD HALORAN:

WAS A MUCH-LOVED MAN,

AND HE INVITED ONE OF

THE COUNTRY FELLOWS

UP HERE FOR HIS WEDDING.

OH, A BIG WEDDING

THAT WAS --

A BIG BANQUET,

AND EVERYONE INVITED.

SHE WAS ALL DRESSED UP

AS THE BRIDESMAID,

RUNNING ABOUT TO HER HEART'S

CONTENT ALL OVER THE PLACE.

THERE'S NEVER BEEN A WEDDING

HERE SINCE.

WHAT ABOUT KANE:

AND RICHARD?

WELL, IT'S NOT MY BUSINESS,

BUT I WOULDN'T BE BETTING

YOU'D SEE ANOTHER WEDDING HERE.

WELL, I MUST GO BACK

TO WORK.

[ FROGS CROAKING ]

[ OFF-KILTER

WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING ]

Kane:
BILLY? BILLY?

BILLY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

OH, HELLO, KANE.

OH, SURE, SURE, I'M -- I'M FINE.

I WAS JUST REMEMBERING

ABOUT KATHLEEN.

KATHLEEN?

OH, YES, THE LITTLE GIRL.

RICHARD TOLD ME:

ALL ABOUT HER.

WE USED TO PLAY TOGETHER

RIGHT HERE.

SOMETIMES I THINK I CAN STILL

HEAR HER LAUGHING,

JUST LIKE THEN.

IS -- IS THIS

THE POND WHERE...?

YES.

SHE WAS MISSING ALL NIGHT.

MOTHER WAS FRANTIC,

ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE.

THE NEXT MORNING,

WE FOUND KATHLEEN FLOATING

IN THE WATER RIGHT OVER THERE.

I'M SORRY, BILLY.

NO, KANE, I'M SORRY.

I'M NOT ALWAYS SO MORBID.

IT'S JUST THAT THE FUNERAL

CEREMONY IS TODAY.

IT'S A VERY

BEAUTIFUL POND.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS ALL JUS EXACTLY LIKE I IMAGINED

IRELAND WOULD BE.

IT RAINED THE DAY

OF THE FUNERAL.

WE STOOD AROUND HER GRAVE

UNDER BLACK UMBRELLAS,

AND THEN WE THREW FLOWERS

UNDER HER LITTLE HEADSTONE.

MOTHER LOOKED:

AT THE FLOWERS,

AND THEN SHE COLLAPSED.

EVERY YEAR:

IT'S BEEN THE SAME --

THE UMBRELLAS, FLOWERS...

AND MOTHER'S COLLAPSE.

BUT THAT WAS YEARS AGO.

WHY DO YOU KEEP HAVING THE SAME

CEREMONY OVER AND OVER AGAIN?

THERE'S SOME THINGS

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, NOT YET.
