What Richard Did Page #3

Synopsis: What Richard Did follows Richard Karlsen, golden-boy athlete and undisputed alpha-male of his privileged set of South Dublin teenagers, through the summer between the end of school and the beginning of university. The world is bright and everything seems possible, until in one summer night Richard does something that destroys it all and shatters the lives of the people closest to him. What Richard Did is a quietly devastating study of a boy confronting the gap between who he thought he was and who he proves to be.

One beer's not gonna do him any harm

It's the boy refusing a drink

that he's competing against

I know that boy. That's the boy

without friends, isn't it'?

Skol!

Cheers, Peter. I've spent

six years teaching him to be a winner.

Success is good. I like success.

Failure's not an option

Failure's not an option,

it's a certainty.

It is, at some point, for most people

it makes them human

Very deep, that. All those

long winter nights back in the day'?

A Scandinavian thing, I reckon

No, it's not a Scandinavian thing.

It's just a manic depressive thing.

So, remind me, Richard.

Why are we here?

Because Conor's a team-male of mine

and that means something, Eimear.

- Ml Fight yeah.

- Alright?

God, what is it with GAA jerseys?

They're always so f***ing rank.

It's like they deliberately pick

the foulest shade of each color.

Could you guys say it

any f***ing louder?
