Run & Jump Page #5

Synopsis: Vanetia Casey (Maxine Peake), the spirited and impossibly optimistic center of the Casey family, is working hard to get life back to normal after her 38 year-old husband, Conor (Edward MacLiam), suffers a rare stroke which changes his personality. Tweedy American doctor, Ted Fielding, (Will Forte) arrives in Ireland to stay with them for two months: his research grant providing the Caseys with essential financial aid. Vanetia's a dynamo. But with two young kids and both men in the house, she's feeling bombarded and initially treats Ted and his study of Conor with resistance. Only when she observes Ted's calming influence on the family does she begin to value his friendship, and, in return, Ted enjoys their heady, happy-go-lucky world. But Ted's continued presence in the house sets the family on course for an emotional collision. Directed by Academy Award®-nominee Steph Green and featuring Saturday Night Live star Will Forte in an impressive dramatic debut, this life-affirming film embr

I know.

"Dr. Do-little",

as in loves animals and...

Does very little.

Ted.

Ted.

Ted.

What?

Aah! Now stop that!

Lenny! Connor!

Lenny, Lenny, Lenny, Lenny!

Lenny! Easy! Lenny, easy!

Get up! Come on!

Lenny! Stop that!

Why do you play that?

Conor!

It's never a dull day.

Have we got our balls?

God. Whose is this?

Do you -- do you mean

that animals talk to us?

- Oh.

- Is that what you're saying?

I'm not saying animals

talk to us.

They don't, but they do

talk to each other about us.

What do they say?

All kinds of things.

How we smell.

Over a million visitors a year.

22 dedicated people.

Welcome to...

Remember the man who used

to fix things around here?

Hmm?

The red rocks of the universe

come down to earth.

Do you want to see what Bob's doing,

and maybe we can fix it next time?

It's early morning at the zoo --

Hola!

- Gorgeous.

- Ol!

Ol!

Do you need any help?

No, I'm fine.

Now sit yourself down

and tuck in.

Hey, Ted's not wearing

a costume.

All right, give him a mustache,

then, baby Schnitzel.

Oh, I don't need a mustache.

I'm -- I have one.

All right, come on,

everybody eat.

I'm not sitting beside Penny.

His name's not Penny.

Conor.

I just want a word with you

for a minute.

It has probably been a banner

for yourself.

Good lad.

Ted, can you pass the guacamole,

please?

I think she used permanent pen.

Did you?

So -- oh, did I tell you this woman

walked into the hospital yesterday?

She had no trousers on.

Girl like, "good Mary!"

She had a bum bag on.

You know what a bum bag is?

We were spared some of the

detail in the front, anyway.

She's, um, throwing her curses

around, as usual.

She threatened --

no, she didn't threaten.

She cursed my firstborn child,

when I have him.

Then she...

What? Like a what?

It's a Mexican wafer.

I've got no idea what that is.

She goes -- she tells -- she

says to Dr. Muldoon -- she goes,

um, "I'm a virgin."

- Fajita. - Fa-heet-as.

- Fajitas.

And I'll tell you something.

It was the best she ever made.

You know that? What a word?

"Best." No. She always is good.

- S, seor.

- And you'll remember what I told you, won't you?

- S.

- Are you sure?

- Stand for no nonsense, you know?

- Oh.

And be true to yourself, lad.

- Okay?

- Okay.

Oh, Paddy, do you think I was

a flighty, lankish lass?

I never said you were flighty.

I said you were mental.

But I also knew you were mental

about each other.

Jesus Christ, Paddy.

Come on, you cheeky thing.

Come on.

- Good night.

- See you, love. - Bye-bye.

- What are you doing up late?

- I can't sleep.

Yeah?

Come downstairs and have a

dance with me.

Dancing?

At this hour?
