I'll do you

a hang sandwich.

What's a hang?

Hang is a verb.

It's not a sandwich.

It did die. Of course.

Huh!

There we go.

Hey,

the lights are gone!

Oh, Jesus,

the lights failed again.

Women!

It's over now.

For the love of God.

What the hell you doing?

Plugging something in.

Give me that.

It's personal.

You fried my BlackBerry.

You fried the whole

village! Idiot!

Jackass.

You're here in Ireland?

Yeah.

l wanted to surprise you,

but it's turned into a complete disaster.

At this point I'm just glad

somebody knows where l am.

l mean, seriously, you have no

idea what passes for a hotel out here,

or common courtesy.

l can't wait

to see you.

Well, l can't wait

to see you, either.

Well, when will

you get here?

l should be there

this afternoon. l just need to get a cab.

Great surprise, honey.

I love you.

l love you, too. Bye.

Sorry, Declan,

you've had plenty of time to pay your debt.

But I'm almost there.

I'm down to the last of the bloody interest.

Come on, Tommo,

be reasonable, would you?

You can't take

the blessed kitchen!

You'll put me

out of business!

The whole lot,

or the kitchen goes in the back of the van.

Give me a month.

A month? A week.

A week? God!

Ten days, 900,

guaranteed.

A thousand, Dekko.

That's the

old interest right there.

The interest on

the interest on the... Oh, man.

Ten days, 1,.

Okay. Okay.

You'll have it.

You have my word.

Done.

Later.

All right, lads.

Come on, then, let's do it.

But only 'cause you're desperate.

I'll drive you

to Dublin.

Will you get out?

500, like you said.

Yes or no?

You're not a fan

of Dublin.

You've made that very clear,

so l won't inconvenience you.

It's not

inconvenient at all.

What part of "get out"

do you not understand?

A simple yes

or no will do.

Yes, you can

drive me, now...

Good. Be outside

in 10 minutes.

God!

Naked here!

By the way,

it's 100 for the room,

and that includes

the vandalism.

I'll leave you to it.

Naked here.

There you are, Bob.

Hop in.

Please tell me that

that is the car

that is taking us

around the corner to the actual taxi.

I'll have you know

that is a Renault 4. She's classic!

Worst fears confirmed.

She's rock solid right there!

Beautiful. Come on.

None of those

fancy airbags to get in the way.

Don't listen to her.

She knows not what she says.

Do you mind?

Ah! Sure.

Thank you.

How does that work?

Can you be careful with that?

That was a gift from my boyfriend.

He bought you

a suitcase?

It's a Vuitton.

What?

A Louis Vuitton?

Come on.

Is it yourself, Louis? Can l give

you a hand getting into the car, Louis?

She named her suitcase.

She's a crackpot.

You can't

go now, missus.
