Del nostro tesoro
Un dolce ristoro
Al cor porger

I'll bring you back a slice of cake.

Well, you're very welcome, Christy,

I wouldn't be too sure about that.

(APPLAUSE OVER LOUDSPEAKER)
Now I'm not going to ask you to put
your hands in your pockets, not yet,
because we're going to start
the evening with a little concert.
Do you want to go out and watch?
No.
Do you want to see the original?
The original?
Of the book.
It looks good.
Looks can be deceivin'.
It's a bit sentimental.
Did you paint this?
Yes.
That's very good.
(BABY CRYING)
(CRYING STOPS)
Mr Brown?
Your son was born a couple of hours ago.
There's been some complications.
Where's the small one?
A pint and a small one?
- That's what I said,
- So long as you're payin' for it,
Are you gonna put him in a home, Paddy?
He'll go in a coffin before
any son of mine will go in a home.
Ah, Paddy...I believe it's the end of the road
for you in the breedin' stakes.
(LAUGHTER)
Who told you that?
Ah, now...What are you goin' to do, huh?
Are you goin' to tie a knot in it? (CHUCKLES)
Now, Paddy, there was no need for that.
A shut mouth catches no flies.
Where's Tom?
MA :
Is Tom not up yet?TOM :
It's all right! I'm up! I'm up ages!Say goodbye to Christy, Father.
PADDY :
Goodbye, Christy.MA :

Something for the money box, Christy.
Another pound saved, Christy.
Here, Christy.
Good boy, that's it.
I have to go away, Christy.
To hospital.
Don't worry, Sheila's going
to look after you while I'm gone.
Do you understand, Christy?
That's my ma. That's my da,
I was their baby.
It's only for a few days, Christy.
I'd better get this house
organised before I go.
You can't be stickin' to me
like stickin' plaster forever, Christy.
(MA STRAINING)
Nearly there, Christy.
Christy, I have to go and make
a phone call. Stay there.
Oh, my God...Nan...
Nan! Nan!
(DOG BARKING)
(MA FALLS)
(WAILING)
(BANGING)
I heard this terrible bangin' and rushed over.
She was carryin' Christy
down the stairs when she fell.
And there he was,
lyin' at the bottom of the stairs like a moron.
God help her,
He's a terrible cross to the poor woman.
Ah, sure he has the mind
of a three-year-old.
A is for apples.
B is for butter.
C is for carrot.
And D...is for dunce.
Poor, unfortunate gobshite.
Enough to feed an army.
God, you'll never go hungry, Christy.
Would you like to come back with me
GIRL :
What's 25% of a quarter?PADDY :
25% of a quarter?Um...
Now that's a stupid question. Huh?
I mean, 25% is a quarter.
You can't have a quarter of a quarter.
