and Tony move towards it, they HEAR the REV OF AN ENGINE.

A WHITE VAN with the two Boylan brothers sitting in front

suddenly speeds out from behind the clubhouse and drives on

up towards the front gates.

28 INT. TAXI - NIGHT 28

Billy and Tony get into the back of the taxi and nod to the

DRIVER.

As the taxi pulls away, they both look out the rear window to

SEE Yvonne appearing from behind the club house, fixing her

dress and hair, as she walks on towards her MERCEDES.

Billy and Tony shake their heads and grin.

TONY:

Fair play to her... Ye see Bill,

it's the like of that keeps ye

young.

Billy nods but keeps his eyes towards the window.

Tony, with a smug look on his face, is talking away and looks

to Billy and the Driver for a reaction every now and again.

TONY (CONT'D)

Breda's eyes remain open.

Breda with her two children, EDEL (9), tall for her age with

a bright open face, and JAMES (8), who seems a far more

serious child, stand at the side of the church in front of

the PENNY CANDLES.

The LAST OF THE MASS-GOERS files out.

Breda and Edel put COINS in the slot and pick up TWO CANDLES

and go to light them. James ignores this, buried in his

GAMEBOY. Breda gestures to him to light a candle but James

shakes his head and makes a face. Breda raises her eyes to

heaven and looks to Edel who gives her a warm smile.

EDEL:

Ma... I'll light one for him.

BREDA:

Thanks love.

Breda lovingly places her hand on James shoulder. He glances
