Maybe.

"In the middle of the journey of life

I was in a dark wood...

for I had lost the true path."

What's the rest of it?

Tell you some other time.

Mr. Mysterious.

It's like a city of fireworks

that have all exploded at once.

My Da brought all of us to a

fireworks display one time.

Great day, that.

Have you ever seen a leaf fall off a tree?

What?

Have you ever seen the

actual moment when a leaf

breaks from its branch?

No, I can't say that I have.

It's a beautiful thing.

- How many's that now?

- Seven.

No way!

- That's eight now.

- Cathal, even if it was eight...

...eight laps of this place

is only a quarter of a mile.

Like to see you try it.

At my age, this is my excercise.

- Here you go.

- Oh, thanks.

Geez, look at you.

A few laps around here and

you're like death warmed up.

I look alright.

You know, you're never gonna get out

of here unless you quit that stuff.

You're never gonna listen, are you?

F*** it! I'm kickin' it.

I am kickin' it for good!

Oh... What's Peter doing here?

It's a bit early for dinner.

Hey guys!

Alright?

Look Fred... I was just talking to them,

the reality it seems is you're never gonna

be high enough up the list to get a place

unless we can do something about it.

Now I was speaking to a friend of mine

his wife works for one

of the daily newspapers.

I don't think I like where this is going.

Look Fred, you know me I wouldn't

steer you wrong.

If we can get an article written about you

living in a car.

Fred, you'd be quids in.

What about Jules?

Just tell her now. Fred

you can't pass this up.

Alright. Alright.

I'll go and get things going.

I don't know about this.

- Have you ever been in the papers?

- Yeah, once.

I won't ask what for.

She's good.

She must be giving a lesson.

So are you gonna tell her?

What do you think?

Play it again.

Stop looking!

Is that you, Fred?

I thought it was you.

- Hello.

- We were just passing and...

...we heard the music.

Come in for coffee.

Isn't there somebody in there with you?

A pupil, but we're almost finished.

You can wait in the living room.

Come on!

He's gone. Coffee?

That would be very nice, thank you.

He's very good, isn't he?

Oh, yes, he is.

I tried the piano once.

Oh, did you enjoy it?

You know, I have one at home.

Ahm... uhm...

I never really get to play it though.

I don't think Cathal is umm...

...really, very passionate about the piano.

Really, are you, Cathal?

Is that a question, Fred?

Maybe, maybe... I'll

just put on the kettle.

Jules, let me give you a hand with that.

Oh, it doesn't work, Fred.

Hasn't for years.

It stopped sometime after

my husband, Liam died.

Whoa...
