It's cold.
I figured you needed a top-up.
Yes, my dear.
It's cold enough to skin ya out.
Should be baking
your own bread, you know.
Well, you know me.
Can never get through a loaf
before it goes bad.
You wouldn't have that problem
if you had a husband
and children.
You wouldn't be able to bake it
fast enough.
I can't take this
into church with me, Mom.
Go on with ya.
Tell 'em
it's the body of Christ.
(Indistinct conversation)
(Parishioners singing
indistinctly)
Oneness of God...
(Whispering)
Happy Birthday.
Thank you
My friends, before we begin
the Mass this morning,
I have some news.
Yesterday,
I received confirmation
that our church
and its property is to be sold.
(Gasping, murmuring)
MAN: What?
They can't do that.
Our great-grandfathers
built this place
with their bare hands.
Now, it is out of our control.
When is it being sold?
PRIEST: It will be put up for
sale at the end of the month.
Let us be grateful
that we are here together today.
Let us begin.
Some goddamn birthday.
- See you later.
- All right, my darling.
You be careful. Go on.
You gonna come over to
the house later?
I got enough food on
to feed the harbor.

WOMAN:
Hi.
- Hi.
- Oh, hey.
Really is your colour.
I'm sure my youngsters
will have it filthy in no time.
You must've came straight
from work, did you?
Oh, no.
The restaurant's closed today.
Right.
Hey. She wants you.
Come here, my girl.
Hi, Dad.
How are you?
Where have you been?
Oh, you know.
Just running around.
Come on.
I'll grab you a beer.
I brought a bottle
of rum there, too,
if you want to get into that.
Oh. Good man!
It's the fault of
those dirtbag priests.
They're the ones
that should be paying for it.
- Not you, of course.
- I know.
It's only right that those
people are getting settlements.
The poor little orphans,
imagine.
I'm not saying
they don't deserve
some kind of payment.
All I'm saying is the Vatican
should be paying and not us.
What I don't get is
if all those priests were queer,
why didn't they just have a go
at each other
and leave those youngsters
alone?
Well, Dad, being gay
and being a pedophile
aren't the same thing.
How do you know
what the gays are like?
What's that supposed to mean?
I mean, I never sees you
bringing a man around.
For fuck's sake, Carl.
What are you getting on with?
You better watch your mouth.
I'm only joking, b'y. Jesus.
Couldn't we buy it ourselves?
The town, I mean.
Yeah.
I mean, if it's for sale,
why can't we buy it?
Yeah. Why can't we?
How much
are they selling it for?
They only wants $130,000 for it.
Right, Father?
Hmm.
Well, we could fundraise.
I mean, maybe we can get
a group of people together
and go through some ideas.
Now, here's a woman who takes
matters into her own hands.
What do you think?
Well, there's...
there's no harm
in trying it, is there?
(Accordion playing)
(Dishes clattering)
Get over here.
Get your picture.
There's lipstick right there
in that bag if you wants it.
Oh, no thanks.
I'm good.
If I had that face
and that body, I'd be using it.
What I don't understand
is why you don't have a man.
It's 'cause everyone
around here is my cousin.
Don't mind her.
You're a good girl.
You'll have a man soon enough.
Besides, there's such thing
as too many men, too.
She can't take
a bad picture.
That's all I'm saying.
(Chuckling)
How are ya?
Good, yeah.
Just going to the--
Sure.
(Exhaling sharply)
The door's open.
Oups.
Why didn't you come to
the party?
I wasn't invited.
You know you don't have
to be invited.
You don't have
to be invited.
You know,
I wanted you there.
Got into
the box wine, did you?
Toni.
We're not hooking up.
(Scoffing)
Nanny made this for you.
(Chuckling)
You need a strong cup
of tea.
Sit. Come on.
(Music playing quietly)
I stand by the shoreline...
Looks like that's
all you needed after all.
(Chuckling)
Yeah. What I mess I'm in.
(Dishes clattering)
(Seagull crying)
(Shutter clicking)
Thank you, sweetie.
Call me when you're finished.
Gloria.
How's Eliza?
I didn't think
you knew my name.
Lived here your entire life.
I know your name.
Just didn't have a reason
to use it, I suppose.
You were a smart-mouth
little kid, too.
ELIZA: All right.
So, between bingo night,
dance, ticket sales
and then, we reach out to
local businesses for donations,
we should be off to
a good start.
- Mm-hmm.
- And the fishermen.
Don't forget to ask them
for donations.
The price of crab
this year...
Really great ideas, ladies.
Now, get busy spreading the word
about bingo Thursday night.
We'll have a cup of tea, now,
will we?
Oh, I got some sandwiches
and tea buns in the kitchen.
You're some hand to bake,
Eliza, girl.
Mm-hmm.
Shawn said he's going to make
a donation. A big one.
Someone must have
raised him right.
(Hinges squeaking)
(Chattering)
Oh. It's you again.
Yeah. I don't even like
the food here.
Well, we find
having no competition
to be good for business.
Well, I can think of
a few other things
this place has going for it.
Must be those
onion rings.
We're going to eat in today.
Little fellow scored
the winner at his hockey game.
I'll take one of those when
you get a minute.
Congrats on your game today,
Ethan.
- Thank you.
- Come get a gumball.
Oh, you want one, too?
All right.
ETHAN:
You got another one!
ELIZA:
Good evening, everybody.
On behalf of the church
fundraising committee,
I'd like to thank you all
for coming out.
We've got our work cut out
for us,
but if there's one thing
I know about this town,
it's that we are not afraid of
a little hard work.
WOMAN:
Woo-hoo!
(Applauding)
And good luck. I'll pass it over
to Father Martin.
All right.
Thank you. Thank you, Eliza.
FATHER MARTIN:
Next up, it is
under the "I," 17.
She's a dancing queen!
Number 17.
- You're on a hitch.
- Don't jinx me.
FATHER MARTIN:
Under the "B," number 10.
And of course,
followed by...
under the "O," 65.
Under the "O"--
- You won!
- Oh. Bingo!
FATHER MARTIN:
Bingo! We have a bingo.
Come up here, young lady,
and let me check those numbers.
(Applauding)
(Door hinges squeaking)
(Water running)
(Thudding)
Are you okay?
WOMAN:
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I'm okay.
Is that you, Eliza?
It is.
Carlie?
Are you okay?
I'm all right, I said.
Do you want a ride home?
Toni and I are driving.
We can take you.
What are you getting on with?
I'm not going home.
(Thudding)
Ugh! Fuck.
Oh, my gosh.
Are you okay?
Oh. I got it.
CARLIE:
I didn't eat much today.
It happens
to the best of us.
Hey, hey.
Going hunting?
Well, if you're not willing
to kill it,
you shouldn't be eating it.
Is she okay?
Yeah.
She'll be fine.
She was home alone.
Her kids are with her mother.
And Shawn?
He's at his cabin.
Hey, how much you win?
250 bucks!
Really?
You going to donate it
back to the church?
(Laughing)
No! Why?
Why not?
Well, why would I?
Ah, you don't have to.
Yeah. I know I don't.
(Starting engine)
You will have to check it
yourself, though, you know?
Will I?
You got your moose.
I did so.
Ah, you're not easy, Pete.
Where's the rest of him?
I dropped him over to your
Uncle Carl's to butcher for me.
Fine size of antlers
on that one.
PETE:
Yeah.
That's a big fellow
you got there.
I'm ready to go when you are.
All right.
I'll be out in a minute.
What's she doing here
in the Cove?
She haven't got anybody here
she's belonged to.
I know.
Imagine coming here
of your own free will.
(Muttering)
Considers himself a handyman,
does he?
Well, looks like
he's just trying to help out.
Do you want to come in?
I'm just gonna be a minute.
All right.
Hello.
FATHER MARTIN:
Good morning.
Toni, welcome.
TONI: I figured I'd see
what all the fuss is about.
What do you make of it?
It's a nice building.
How's it going?
It's going to hell
in a handbasket.
That's grim,
coming from you.
I brought you
some raffle tickets.
I'm afraid it's going to take
a lot more than raffle tickets.
What do you make of it?
The churches being sold off
and everything.
Well that's for the Lord
to judge, not me.
What about all the people
who've suffered?
Those are for the altar boys,
when they help with Mass.
I got to get going.
Okay.
I'll walk home.
All right.
You really don't have much faith
in us, do you?
Whatever the outcome,
it's a good excuse
to get rid of a few things.
I mean, there's so much junk
piled up here,
you'd think
you could take it with you.
I'll leave these with you,
then.
Thank you. And, um...
Shawn brought us a donation.
Eliza?
Would you like
some wineglasses?
(Chuckling)
Yes.
Hey, Shawn.
Thanks for the donation.
You know, I've been thinking
a lot about you lately.
Oh, yeah?
About my deep-frying skills?
I'm serious.
What are you doing
on Saturday night?
Nothing in particular.
Why don't I bring you over
a box of fresh fish?
Fish?
Yeah.
Come around the back.
Bring the fish.
Stay for a while.
Have a drink.
I don't know.
Come on.
We'll hang out for a bit.
I never get to talk to you
for more than two minutes.
What about your truck?
That's kind of hard to miss.
I'll come on my four-wheeler,
through the woods.
That sounds okay.
Around 9:00?
Yeah, okay.

(Clucking)
Hey, Toni.
Come here.
Good morning.
'Morning.
I was looking
to buy some eggs.
I hear yours are the best.
(Chuckling)
I don't really sell them.
You should.
It's a good way to earn
a few extra bucks.
(Chuckling)
(Phone ringing)
You know, I can haul that away
for you if you like.
I'm good. Thanks.
Your wife's calling.
(Ringing continues)
(Ringing stops)
You sure you don't want to
sell me some eggs?
You can overcharge me.
Take me for what I'm worth.
You know,
I'd give them to you for free,
but the girls are having
a slow week.
(Chickens clucking)
It's all good.
No worries.
- How are you today, my darling?
- I brought you some eggs.
Oh! They're gorgeous.
I'll tell the girls
you said so.
Want to come in
for a cup of tea?
Uh, no. I'm just heading
to the city for the day.
Going to see someone special?
Someone special?
Well, there's not many
around here for you.
There might be a few
in the city.
Nope.
Just the...
Just the repairman today.
I hate seeing you
so lonely.
Don't worry about me.
See you.
(Exhaling)
(Soft knocking)
- Hey.
- Hi.
Where's your four-wheeler?
I left it
at the edge of the woods.
- I should probably come in.
- Oh, yeah.
For you.
You brought the fish.
Beats flowers, doesn't it?
Do you want a beer?
I'll have wine
if that's what you're having.
Didn't expect me
to be so refined or what?
Didn't know what to expect.
Carlie drinks a lot of it,
so it's always around.
Do you like your wine holy
or secular?
Whatever you think
I'm worthy of.
(Chuckling)
Very good, then.
Do you want to sit down?
Sure.
I like your house.
Kind of reminds me
of my nan's.
If it were up to me,
I'd have a place like this.
Carlie wanted the big new one.
Room for the youngsters
to run around and everything.
My whole house could fit
in your kitchen.
You know, everyone else
would love a house like mine.
Not you.
It's not my style,
that's all.
SHAWN:
Mm-hmm?
What is your style?
(Chuckling)
You were always a bit odd,
off playing in the woods
by yourself.
I remember you bringing
whole carrots to school,
the tops still on 'em
and all.
I don't know.
Isn't that the whole point
of being in this place?
(Indie pop plays on car radio)
This is now who I am
Stretching into
another shape
I don't quite understand
(Music playing low on stereo)
Hey. Come over here.
Let me knit ya.
(Chuckling)
Hold them like this.
Not too tight?
Well...
It's a quick release,
so pull that end
right there.
It'll come right off.
Now you've got me.
(Giggling)
You're really fucking beautiful,
you know that?
You're not so bad yourself.
No. It's that--
It's not just that.
You're different from
everyone else around here.
There's no one like you.
(Chuckling)
(Laughing)
God help me.
(Panting)
Does it turn you on...
...showing your body
to hundreds of thousands
of people like that?
What?
You are a Lil Wildling.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
I'm not going to tell anyone
about it.
I promise.
(Laughing)
What are you getting on with?
It's okay.
You know, my favourite
is that one of you in my hat.
I don't want to talk about this.
I think you should go.
(Chuckling)
Come on.
I don't want to go.
Who else knows?
Not a soul.
I just...
...found it randomly.
I couldn't believe it.
Please leave.
I'm not going anywhere yet.
We all have secrets.
I won't tell anyone
about that.
You don't tell anyone
about this.
You won't tell anyone?
I won't.
Well, I won't if you stop trying
to get me to leave.
(Panting)
(Knocking on door)
SHAWN:
Shh, shh, shh.
We should stop.
It's okay.
They'll go away in a minute.
(Knocking on window)
(Breathing shallowly)
(Engine starting)
Now, you get on top.
I'll watch you.
(Shawn sighing)
(Surf pounding)
FATHER MARTIN:
"Clothe yourselves
with compassion, kindness,
humility, meekness
and patience."
"Bear with one another,
and if anyone has
a complaint against another,
forgive each other."
Faith of our fathers
We will love
Both friend and foe
In all our strife
We will be true
To thee till death
(Birds singing)
(Shutter clicking)
- Hey.
- Hey.
I came by when I got home
last night.
Yeah. I was, um--
I fell asleep on the couch.
You okay?
Yeah. I just didn't
sleep well, that's all...
Hey. You want to go
to town tomorrow?
- We can go out dancing.
- (Chuckling)
I could use a change of scenery,
I think.
Okay.
Where do you want to stay?
A motel or something,
I guess.
Okay.
(Rock music playing
in background)
Aw. Another one.
Like that.
Oh.
Oh, ya little...
Right there.
That's good there.
Thanks, buddy.
Wouldn't mind hitting
a ten though.
(Laughing)
(Dart thudding)
She was so fine...
(Dart thudding)
She was so kind
What's up
with you tonight, man?
- Me?
- Yeah.
Nothing, b'y.
You got a stick up your arse
about something.
Hey. Look at this.
Nice.
See now,
that's fantastic.
(Laughing)
You recognize her?
Oh.
MATT:
Yes, b'y.
Shawn showed me
something fucked.
What?
Jesus.
Who is that?
- Eliza?
- Yeah.
He's boning her, too.
Fuck off!
(Child laughing)
Hey, Ethan. I heard your dad's
got a new girlfriend.
What?
Is Eliza
going to be your new mom?
(Giggling)
(Shutter clicking)
(Woman speaking
indistinctly on radio)
(Car horn honking in distance)
(Ringtone sounding)
(Silencing phone)
(Siren beeping in distance)
Well, don't say I never
bring you anywhere nice.
(Ice cubes rattling)
So, what are you
going to wear?
Uh, I was thinking this.
You look good in whatever
you wear so...
I think that's a compliment.
(Glasses clinking)
(Whispering)
Oh, God.
(Sighing)
Doesn't it feel so good
to get out?
Why did you want to come,
anyway?
(Ringtone sounding)
Fuck.
(Slamming phone on table)
What's going on?
Dancing.
That's what's going on.
(Chuckling)
- Come on.
- Okay, okay, okay.
(Chuckling)
Was it that I was so new
Come on, Toni,
dance with me.
Was it my unshaved legs
He's got knives
in his eyes
For no one but me
Oh, God. I don't know
what I'd do without you.
You won't have
to find out.
Say that again.
Gets caught
or twisted around
(Both laughing)
I'm not going anywhere.
He's got a filter
that makes me wilt
But he's got a filter
That makes me wilt
But I won't stop
until I win
ELIZA:
We need more ice.
You finished your drink
that fast?
Yeah keep up, woman?
All right. I'll go.
Thank you.
...Listening but
I don't care at all
I learned caring
but I can't feel at all
(Sighing)
I learned feeling
but I can't love at all
(Car horns honking,
traffic roaring)
Hey, Toni.
Oh, hey.
Oh, hey.
What are you doing here?
Uh, me and Eliza
are just out for the night.
- Hmm.
- What are you doing?
Well, the kids got
a hockey tournament
in town this week, so...
So, she's hiding out,
is she?
Who?
Eliza.
Wait.
What do you mean?
You don't know?
(Laughing)
I mean, there's a lot of things
I don't know.
But what specifically
are you talking about?
Lil Wildling?
You think you know
a person, hey?
I'm going
out for a smoke.
All right.
I'll come with you.
TONI: Uh, just finish getting
ready. I'll be back in a minute.
No. It's fine.
I'm done. I'll come.
Uh, I don't think
you should go out there.
What? Why not?
TONI: There's a bunch
of kids from home out there.
They're in town for
a hockey tournament.
I bumped into Josh.
(Breathing deeply)
What did
he have to say?
He said you were out
here hiding.
Then he showed me
his phone.
Does everybody know?
Could you just turn
around and look at me?
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't tell anybody.
Okay.
Why wouldn't you think
I'd be proud of you?
Do you want me
to show you?
No.
Did he have anything
else to say?
He did. Yep.
(Chuckling)
Fell asleep on the couch,
you said.
(Door closing)
Fuck!
(Car horn honking
in distance)
TONI: Want to
get under the blanket?
Come here.
Lie down with me.
Tell me that you
want my body.
I want your body.
That's all I am,
a hot body that you want
to fuck, right?
Stop.
What's wrong?
I don't want to
say that you.
Oh, it's just--
it's just talk.
It doesn't
mean anything.
I can't just say
things I don't mean.
How can you do it?
How can you pretend
to be someone you're not?
I don't think
I'm pretending.
(Toni scoffing)
Whatever this is...
with us...
I can't do it
anymore.
It's making me
feel rotten.
No. You're not.
You're good.
You're so good.
I need to get away
from you.
(Sniffling) If that's
what you want.
For fuck's sake!
It's-- it's not
what I want.
(Crying)
(Seagulls calling
distantly)
(Breathing heavily)
(Coughing)
(Door handle clicking)
(Knocking)
(Knocking harder)
Can I stay here
for a bit?
Where's Nanny?
She's in bed.
Already?
That's pretty early for her.
She feeling okay?
Pete came by today.
He's thinking about
pressing charges.
For what?
JENNIFER:
For what?
You broke into
his shed, Eliza!
(Chuckling)
Well, I'm there every other day
getting wood for him anyways.
That's hardly
the same thing, is it?
I don't understand
why someone would want
to take a picture with
a moose head like that.
Half the men in the harbor
have a photo of a dead moose
hanging on their
living room walls.
I'm going up to bed.
(Voices chattering on TV)
Do you
want another one?
Oh. Thanks, girl.
Sit down.
Nobody's got anything
to say to me.
You should be
glad they don't.
Can I borrow something
of yours to wear tonight?
Where you going?
To the dance.
The fundraiser is tonight.
You are not
going near it.
Mom, I-- I organized
the event.
I'm going.
JENNIFER: You're
asking for trouble!
That's what
you think, isn't it?
Yes.
(Chuckling)
The first thing you do
after all this comes out is,
you go off to
a motel with Toni!
How do you think
that looks?
I don't know.
You tell me.
Spending the night in a
motel room with a lesbian?
What were you doing?
How's it going?
I assume you're not
here for a cup of tea.
(Chuckling)
I gotta talk to you
about Pete's shed.
Okay. So talk.
He says he won't press
charges if you move.
Perfect.
I'll just
pick up my house
and move it 10 feet
to the left, then, will I?
He doesn't feel safe with
you living next to him.
Is that a threat?
Move or else?
I'm just telling you
what he told me.
(Diners chattering)
Hey.
I'll get
you some water.
MAN:
Excuse me, miss?
Okay.
(Modern Celtic music playing,
people chattering)
I thought no
one would come.
Don't be so
foolish, girl.
This crowd wouldn't miss
a dance for anything.
Johnny he's a rover--
You looked
at it, right?
Glanced at it for a second.
Not really.
You've got to
look at it.
Come. Have you seen?
It's like... Ugh.
(Pop music playing
in background)
(Sighing)
Can't believe so many
people follow her.
I don't think
she's that hot.
Definitely looks better
with her face covered up.
(Snickering)
Do you think they were
actually hooking up?
I mean, he says
they weren't,
but I know
what he's like.
It's one thing him fucking
around before we had youngsters,
but I thought he was done
with all that.
And he's staying
in the cabin? Or...
Don't give a fuck
where he's staying.
He tries to set
foot in this house,
I'll tear his
fucking face off.
Carlie.
Get up over them
stairs and into bed.
Now!
(Modern Celtic music playing)
Shit.
Hey. You got some
gall showing your face here.
I don't know
what you think, but--
Yeah. You've been a stuck-up
bitch since we were kids.
Always thought you were
better than everyone else,
better than me.
Fucking Miss Priss going around
with your nose in the air.
I never thought I was
better than--
I saw the pictures! You stole
that fucking hat from my house!
Everyone saw those
disgusting pictures!
- Skank.
- What are you,
some kind of
a sicko or something?
You've been throwing
yourself at him for months.
Do you think I'm stupid?
He's the one that
started talking to me.
(Laughing)
Thought you had everyone fooled,
didn't you?
You fucking
two-faced bitch!
- What a pile of shit.
- Pretending that you...
Why don't you just leave?
Move away!
- And that you cared about us.
- Nobody wants you here anymore.
Jesus! Can we all
come back to reality here?
What is the big outrage?
It is no worse than
what you watches on TV!
Not the kind of
TV I watches.
Yeah. You would
say that, wouldn't you?
Going around with your bosom
hanging out of your shirt.
Stop staring at my bosom if
it bothers you that much.
Why don't you back
off, Christine,
before we all start
broadcasting sins here?
Oh, yes, and you got some
right to talk, haven't you?
Come on. Let's go.
What the fuck
is wrong with you?
What am I supposed to
say to my kids?
- (Shouting)
- Get off of me!
MAN:
Hey!
Get off! Get off!
- (Thumping)
- CROWD: Ooh!
(Breathing heavily)
You shouldn't walk.
I've got two feet
and a heartbeat.
Let me just
give you a ride.
The way you're looking at me,
I'd rather take my chances.
Suit yourself!
(Shifting gears)
What'd you do to her?
Something you never could.
- (Toni grunting)
- (Shawn shouting in pain)
What the fuck, Toni?
Oh, you'd just love for
me to hit you, wouldn't you?
Would that make you
feel like a man?
You think the whole world
exists just for you, don't you?
I'm not the one who
put naked pictures of myself
on the internet!
Hey, no, no, no.
What'd she think was
going to happen?
Okay. Toni, go home.
Toni, go home.
Go home.
(Seagulls calling
distantly)
(Knocking softly)
I need you.
I'm so tired
of you needing me.
What do you want?
ELIZA: (Tearfully)
I don't know.
No, no.
Toni, please, no.
I can't take
this anymore.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about
everything.
I'm sorry that I
ever started that account.
What about Shawn?
I'm sorry about
that, too.
You need to go.
No, no, no.
Please, please.
Ever since I was
a little girl,
I felt like there was
something wrong with me.
That I was dirty.
That I was off.
And I couldn't let anybody
find out the truth about me.
I thought that if I made people
believe that I was good...
...that I'd somehow be
clean again, and...
...and Shawn, he's, like,
the fucking
second coming.
And they
all worship him.
And I thought
"If he wants me, then
I must be worth wanting."
(Crying)
Who I am to fucking
deny him what he wants?
(Toni sighing)
There's nothing wrong
with you.
(Eliza crying)
There's nothing wrong
with you.
I'm so sorry I
wasn't good to you.
(Sniffling)
You know how
I feel about you.
Tell me.
I love you.
(Toni crying)
I love you.
(Crying)
(Laughing)
(Chuckling)
Touch me.
Please.
(Breathing heavily)
(Breathing heavily)
(Breathing heavily)
(Moaning)
(Breathing heavily)
(Moaning)
(Breathing heavily)
(Waves crashing)
Thou art giving
and forgiving
Ever blessing
Ever blessed
Wellspring of
the joy of living
Ocean depth
of happy rest
Thou our Father
Christ our brother
All who live
in love are thine
Teach us how
to love each other
Lift us to
the joy divine
- (Song ending)
- (People murmuring softly)
That wasn't right,
all of them coming at you
like that at the dance.
FATHER MARTIN: Good morning,
my friends,
and thank you all for
coming and joining me today
as we say goodbye
to our beloved church
that has served us so
well for over 100 years.
Now, before the service,
I would like
to thank all of you
for this incredible
fundraising effort.
I should especially
like to thank
Eliza Byrne and
Gloria Byrne,
who led that effort.
(Chickens clucking)
(Clucking)
This day
God sends me
Strength
to sustain me
Might to uphold me
Wisdom as guide
Your eyes
are watchful
Your ears are
(Chattering)
(Seagulls calling)
You come to the hall
for a cup of tea.
No, I better not.
(Birds calling)
Hey, Pete.
I'm staying at Toni's,
so you don't have to worry
about me being here
anymore, all right?
(Birds chirping)
(Fire crackling)
(Faucet squeaking)
(Shutter clicking)
(Shutter clicking)
The first step
into a quiet house
Tepid movement
Cross the room
Why did you leave here
for so long
And not return?
You feel at
home here
You feel at home
All of this was
meant to be yours
Century Lily and me
Conscious of
the way that it was
End at

Quick, quick let it go
Do you recognize
yourself
In this moment?
Are you what you
one day said
You would be?
Safety used to walk
in front of me
Now she's
at the door
Won't let you in
so readily
Used to
be wide-eyed
Now I am my own

(Door hinges squeaking)
(Sizzling)
(Seagulls crying)
It's cold.
I figured you needed a top-up.
Yes, my dear.
It's cold enough to skin ya out.
Should be baking
your own bread, you know.
Well, you know me.
Can never get through a loaf
before it goes bad.
You wouldn't have that problem
if you had a husband
and children.
You wouldn't be able to bake it
fast enough.
I can't take this
into church with me, Mom.
Go on with ya.
Tell 'em
it's the body of Christ.
(Indistinct conversation)
(Parishioners singing
indistinctly)
Oneness of God...
(Whispering)
Happy Birthday.
Thank you
My friends, before we begin
the Mass this morning,
I have some news.
Yesterday,
I received confirmation
that our church
and its property is to be sold.
(Gasping, murmuring)
MAN: What?
They can't do that.
Our great-grandfathers
built this place
with their bare hands.
Now, it is out of our control.
When is it being sold?
PRIEST: It will be put up for
sale at the end of the month.
Let us be grateful
that we are here together today.
Let us begin.
Some goddamn birthday.
- See you later.
- All right, my darling.
You be careful. Go on.
You gonna come over to
the house later?
I got enough food on
to feed the harbor.
(Indistinct conversation)
(Birds chirping, twig snapping)
(Chirping continues)
(Inhaling)
(Woodpecker tapping)
(Raven cawing)

shutter clicking)
(Indistinct chattering)
WOMAN:
Hi.
- Hi.
- Oh, hey.
Really is your colour.
I'm sure my youngsters
will have it filthy in no time.
You must've came straight
from work, did you?
Oh, no.
The restaurant's closed today.
Right.
Hey. She wants you.
Come here, my girl.
Hi, Dad.
How are you?
Where have you been?
Oh, you know.
Just running around.
Come on.
I'll grab you a beer.
I brought a bottle
of rum there, too,
if you want to get into that.
Oh. Good man!
It's the fault of
those dirtbag priests.
They're the ones
that should be paying for it.
- Not you, of course.
- I know.
It's only right that those
people are getting settlements.
The poor little orphans,
imagine.
I'm not saying
they don't deserve
some kind of payment.
All I'm saying is the Vatican
should be paying and not us.
What I don't get is
if all those priests were queer,
why didn't they just have a go
at each other
and leave those youngsters
alone?
Well, Dad, being gay
and being a pedophile
aren't the same thing.
How do you know
what the gays are like?
What's that supposed to mean?
I mean, I never sees you
bringing a man around.
For fuck's sake, Carl.
What are you getting on with?
You better watch your mouth.
I'm only joking, b'y. Jesus.
Couldn't we buy it ourselves?
The town, I mean.
Yeah.
I mean, if it's for sale,
why can't we buy it?
Yeah. Why can't we?
How much
are they selling it for?
They only wants $130,000 for it.
Right, Father?
Hmm.
Well, we could fundraise.
I mean, maybe we can get
a group of people together
and go through some ideas.
Now, here's a woman who takes
matters into her own hands.
What do you think?
Well, there's...
there's no harm
in trying it, is there?
(Accordion playing)
(Dishes clattering)
Get over here.
Get your picture.
There's lipstick right there
in that bag if you wants it.
Oh, no thanks.
I'm good.
If I had that face
and that body, I'd be using it.
What I don't understand
is why you don't have a man.
It's 'cause everyone
around here is my cousin.
Don't mind her.
You're a good girl.
You'll have a man soon enough.
Besides, there's such thing
as too many men, too.
She can't take
a bad picture.
That's all I'm saying.
(Chuckling)
How are ya?
Good, yeah.
Just going to the--
Sure.
(Exhaling sharply)
The door's open.
Oups.
Why didn't you come to
the party?
I wasn't invited.
You know you don't have
to be invited.
You don't have
to be invited.
You know,
I wanted you there.
Got into
the box wine, did you?
Toni.
We're not hooking up.
(Scoffing)
Nanny made this for you.
(Chuckling)
You need a strong cup
of tea.
Sit. Come on.
(Music playing quietly)
I stand by the shoreline...
Looks like that's
all you needed after all.
(Chuckling)
Yeah. What I mess I'm in.
(Dishes clattering)
(Seagull crying)
(Shutter clicking)
Thank you, sweetie.
Call me when you're finished.
Gloria.
How's Eliza?
I didn't think
you knew my name.
Lived here your entire life.
I know your name.
Just didn't have a reason
to use it, I suppose.
You were a smart-mouth
little kid, too.
ELIZA: All right.
So, between bingo night,
dance, ticket sales
and then, we reach out to
local businesses for donations,
we should be off to
a good start.
- Mm-hmm.
- And the fishermen.
Don't forget to ask them
for donations.
The price of crab
this year...
Really great ideas, ladies.
Now, get busy spreading the word
about bingo Thursday night.
We'll have a cup of tea, now,
will we?
Oh, I got some sandwiches
and tea buns in the kitchen.
You're some hand to bake,
Eliza, girl.
Mm-hmm.
Shawn said he's going to make
a donation. A big one.
Someone must have
raised him right.
(Hinges squeaking)
(Chattering)
Oh. It's you again.
Yeah. I don't even like
the food here.
Well, we find
having no competition
to be good for business.
Well, I can think of
a few other things
this place has going for it.
Must be those
onion rings.
We're going to eat in today.
Little fellow scored
the winner at his hockey game.
I'll take one of those when
you get a minute.
Congrats on your game today,
Ethan.
- Thank you.
- Come get a gumball.
Oh, you want one, too?
All right.
ETHAN:
You got another one!
ELIZA:
Good evening, everybody.
On behalf of the church
fundraising committee,
I'd like to thank you all
for coming out.
We've got our work cut out
for us,
but if there's one thing
I know about this town,
it's that we are not afraid of
a little hard work.
WOMAN:
Woo-hoo!
(Applauding)
And good luck. I'll pass it over
to Father Martin.
All right.
Thank you. Thank you, Eliza.
FATHER MARTIN:
Next up, it is
under the "I," 17.
She's a dancing queen!
Number 17.
- You're on a hitch.
- Don't jinx me.
FATHER MARTIN:
Under the "B," number 10.
And of course,
followed by...
under the "O," 65.
Under the "O"--
- You won!
- Oh. Bingo!
FATHER MARTIN:
Bingo! We have a bingo.
Come up here, young lady,
and let me check those numbers.
(Applauding)
(Door hinges squeaking)
(Water running)
(Thudding)
Are you okay?
WOMAN:
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I'm okay.
Is that you, Eliza?
It is.
Carlie?
Are you okay?
I'm all right, I said.
Do you want a ride home?
Toni and I are driving.
We can take you.
What are you getting on with?
I'm not going home.
(Thudding)
Ugh! Fuck.
Oh, my gosh.
Are you okay?
Oh. I got it.
CARLIE:
I didn't eat much today.
It happens
to the best of us.
Hey, hey.
Going hunting?
Well, if you're not willing
to kill it,
you shouldn't be eating it.
Is she okay?
Yeah.
She'll be fine.
She was home alone.
Her kids are with her mother.
And Shawn?
He's at his cabin.
Hey, how much you win?
250 bucks!
Really?
You going to donate it
back to the church?
(Laughing)
No! Why?
Why not?
Well, why would I?
Ah, you don't have to.
Yeah. I know I don't.
(Starting engine)
You will have to check it
yourself, though, you know?
Will I?
You got your moose.
I did so.
Ah, you're not easy, Pete.
Where's the rest of him?
I dropped him over to your
Uncle Carl's to butcher for me.
Fine size of antlers
on that one.
PETE:
Yeah.
That's a big fellow
you got there.
I'm ready to go when you are.
All right.
I'll be out in a minute.
What's she doing here
in the Cove?
She haven't got anybody here
she's belonged to.
I know.
Imagine coming here
of your own free will.
(Muttering)
Considers himself a handyman,
does he?
Well, looks like
he's just trying to help out.
Do you want to come in?
I'm just gonna be a minute.
All right.
Hello.
FATHER MARTIN:
Good morning.
Toni, welcome.
TONI: I figured I'd see
what all the fuss is about.
What do you make of it?
It's a nice building.
How's it going?
It's going to hell
in a handbasket.
That's grim,
coming from you.
I brought you
some raffle tickets.
I'm afraid it's going to take
a lot more than raffle tickets.
What do you make of it?
The churches being sold off
and everything.
Well that's for the Lord
to judge, not me.
What about all the people
who've suffered?
Those are for the altar boys,
when they help with Mass.
I got to get going.
Okay.
I'll walk home.
All right.
You really don't have much faith
in us, do you?
Whatever the outcome,
it's a good excuse
to get rid of a few things.
I mean, there's so much junk
piled up here,
you'd think
you could take it with you.
I'll leave these with you,
then.
Thank you. And, um...
Shawn brought us a donation.
Eliza?
Would you like
some wineglasses?
(Chuckling)
Yes.
Hey, Shawn.
Thanks for the donation.
You know, I've been thinking
a lot about you lately.
Oh, yeah?
About my deep-frying skills?
I'm serious.
What are you doing
on Saturday night?
Nothing in particular.
Why don't I bring you over
a box of fresh fish?
Fish?
Yeah.
Come around the back.
Bring the fish.
Stay for a while.
Have a drink.
I don't know.
Come on.
We'll hang out for a bit.
I never get to talk to you
for more than two minutes.
What about your truck?
That's kind of hard to miss.
I'll come on my four-wheeler,
through the woods.
That sounds okay.
Around 9:00?
Yeah, okay.
(Engine starting)
(Door hinges creaking)
(Dog barking in the distance)
(Footsteps approaching)

(Shutter clicking)

(Shutter clicking)
(Clucking)
Hey, Toni.
Come here.
Good morning.
'Morning.
I was looking
to buy some eggs.
I hear yours are the best.
(Chuckling)
I don't really sell them.
You should.
It's a good way to earn
a few extra bucks.
(Chuckling)
(Phone ringing)
You know, I can haul that away
for you if you like.
I'm good. Thanks.
Your wife's calling.
(Ringing continues)
(Ringing stops)
You sure you don't want to
sell me some eggs?
You can overcharge me.
Take me for what I'm worth.
You know,
I'd give them to you for free,
but the girls are having
a slow week.
(Chickens clucking)
It's all good.
No worries.
- How are you today, my darling?
- I brought you some eggs.
Oh! They're gorgeous.
I'll tell the girls
you said so.
Want to come in
for a cup of tea?
Uh, no. I'm just heading
to the city for the day.
Going to see someone special?
Someone special?
Well, there's not many
around here for you.
There might be a few
in the city.
Nope.
Just the...
Just the repairman today.
I hate seeing you
so lonely.
Don't worry about me.
See you.
(Exhaling)
(Soft knocking)
- Hey.
- Hi.
Where's your four-wheeler?
I left it
at the edge of the woods.
- I should probably come in.
- Oh, yeah.
For you.
You brought the fish.
Beats flowers, doesn't it?
Do you want a beer?
I'll have wine
if that's what you're having.
Didn't expect me
to be so refined or what?
Didn't know what to expect.
Carlie drinks a lot of it,
so it's always around.
Do you like your wine holy
or secular?
Whatever you think
I'm worthy of.
(Chuckling)
Very good, then.
Do you want to sit down?
Sure.
I like your house.
Kind of reminds me
of my nan's.
If it were up to me,
I'd have a place like this.
Carlie wanted the big new one.
Room for the youngsters
to run around and everything.
My whole house could fit
in your kitchen.
You know, everyone else
would love a house like mine.
Not you.
It's not my style,
that's all.
SHAWN:
Mm-hmm?
What is your style?
(Chuckling)
You were always a bit odd,
off playing in the woods
by yourself.
I remember you bringing
whole carrots to school,
the tops still on 'em
and all.
I don't know.
Isn't that the whole point
of being in this place?
(Indie pop plays on car radio)
This is now who I am
Stretching into
another shape
I don't quite understand
(Music playing low on stereo)
Hey. Come over here.
Let me knit ya.
(Chuckling)
Hold them like this.
Not too tight?
Well...
It's a quick release,
so pull that end
right there.
It'll come right off.
Now you've got me.
(Giggling)
You're really fucking beautiful,
you know that?
You're not so bad yourself.
No. It's that--
It's not just that.
You're different from
everyone else around here.
There's no one like you.
(Chuckling)
(Laughing)
God help me.
(Panting)
Does it turn you on...
...showing your body
to hundreds of thousands
of people like that?
What?
You are a Lil Wildling.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
I'm not going to tell anyone
about it.
I promise.
(Laughing)
What are you getting on with?
It's okay.
You know, my favourite
is that one of you in my hat.
I don't want to talk about this.
I think you should go.
(Chuckling)
Come on.
I don't want to go.
Who else knows?
Not a soul.
I just...
...found it randomly.
I couldn't believe it.
Please leave.
I'm not going anywhere yet.
We all have secrets.
I won't tell anyone
about that.
You don't tell anyone
about this.
You won't tell anyone?
I won't.
Well, I won't if you stop trying
to get me to leave.
(Panting)
(Knocking on door)
SHAWN:
Shh, shh, shh.
We should stop.
It's okay.
They'll go away in a minute.
(Knocking on window)
(Breathing shallowly)
(Engine starting)
Now, you get on top.
I'll watch you.
(Shawn sighing)
(Surf pounding)
FATHER MARTIN:
"Clothe yourselves
with compassion, kindness,
humility, meekness
and patience."
"Bear with one another,
and if anyone has
a complaint against another,
forgive each other."
Faith of our fathers
We will love
Both friend and foe
In all our strife
We will be true
To thee till death
(Birds singing)
(Shutter clicking)
- Hey.
- Hey.
I came by when I got home
last night.
Yeah. I was, um--
I fell asleep on the couch.
You okay?
Yeah. I just didn't
sleep well, that's all...
Hey. You want to go
to town tomorrow?
- We can go out dancing.
- (Chuckling)
I could use a change of scenery,
I think.
Okay.
Where do you want to stay?
A motel or something,
I guess.
Okay.
(Rock music playing
in background)
Aw. Another one.
Like that.
Oh.
Oh, ya little...
Right there.
That's good there.
Thanks, buddy.
Wouldn't mind hitting
a ten though.
(Laughing)
(Dart thudding)
She was so fine...
(Dart thudding)
She was so kind
What's up
with you tonight, man?
- Me?
- Yeah.
Nothing, b'y.
You got a stick up your arse
about something.
Hey. Look at this.
Nice.
See now,
that's fantastic.
(Laughing)
You recognize her?
Oh.
MATT:
Yes, b'y.
Shawn showed me
something fucked.
What?
Jesus.
Who is that?
- Eliza?
- Yeah.
He's boning her, too.
Fuck off!
(Child laughing)
Hey, Ethan. I heard your dad's
got a new girlfriend.
What?
Is Eliza
going to be your new mom?
(Giggling)
(Shutter clicking)
(Woman speaking
indistinctly on radio)
(Car horn honking in distance)
(Ringtone sounding)
(Silencing phone)
(Siren beeping in distance)
Well, don't say I never
bring you anywhere nice.
(Ice cubes rattling)
So, what are you
going to wear?
Uh, I was thinking this.
You look good in whatever
you wear so...
I think that's a compliment.
(Glasses clinking)
(Whispering)
Oh, God.
(Sighing)
Doesn't it feel so good
to get out?
Why did you want to come,
anyway?
(Ringtone sounding)
Fuck.
(Slamming phone on table)
What's going on?
Dancing.
That's what's going on.
(Chuckling)
- Come on.
- Okay, okay, okay.
(Chuckling)
Was it that I was so new
Come on, Toni,
dance with me.
Was it my unshaved legs
He's got knives
in his eyes
For no one but me
Oh, God. I don't know
what I'd do without you.
You won't have
to find out.
Say that again.
Gets caught
or twisted around
(Both laughing)
I'm not going anywhere.
He's got a filter
that makes me wilt
But he's got a filter
That makes me wilt
But I won't stop
until I win
ELIZA:
We need more ice.
You finished your drink
that fast?
Yeah keep up, woman?
All right. I'll go.
Thank you.
...Listening but
I don't care at all
I learned caring
but I can't feel at all
(Sighing)
I learned feeling
but I can't love at all
(Car horns honking,
traffic roaring)
Hey, Toni.
Oh, hey.
Oh, hey.
What are you doing here?
Uh, me and Eliza
are just out for the night.
- Hmm.
- What are you doing?
Well, the kids got
a hockey tournament
in town this week, so...
So, she's hiding out,
is she?
Who?
Eliza.
Wait.
What do you mean?
You don't know?
(Laughing)
I mean, there's a lot of things
I don't know.
But what specifically
are you talking about?
Lil Wildling?
You think you know
a person, hey?
I'm going
out for a smoke.
All right.
I'll come with you.
TONI: Uh, just finish getting
ready. I'll be back in a minute.
No. It's fine.
I'm done. I'll come.
Uh, I don't think
you should go out there.
What? Why not?
TONI: There's a bunch
of kids from home out there.
They're in town for
a hockey tournament.
I bumped into Josh.
(Breathing deeply)
What did
he have to say?
He said you were out
here hiding.
Then he showed me
his phone.
Does everybody know?
Could you just turn
around and look at me?
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't tell anybody.
Okay.
Why wouldn't you think
I'd be proud of you?
Do you want me
to show you?
No.
Did he have anything
else to say?
He did. Yep.
(Chuckling)
Fell asleep on the couch,
you said.
(Door closing)
Fuck!
(Car horn honking
in distance)
TONI: Want to
get under the blanket?
Come here.
Lie down with me.
Tell me that you
want my body.
I want your body.
That's all I am,
a hot body that you want
to fuck, right?
Stop.
What's wrong?
I don't want to
say that you.
Oh, it's just--
it's just talk.
It doesn't
mean anything.
I can't just say
things I don't mean.
How can you do it?
How can you pretend
to be someone you're not?
I don't think
I'm pretending.
(Toni scoffing)
Whatever this is...
with us...
I can't do it
anymore.
It's making me
feel rotten.
No. You're not.
You're good.
You're so good.
I need to get away
from you.
(Sniffling) If that's
what you want.
For fuck's sake!
It's-- it's not
what I want.
(Crying)
(Seagulls calling
distantly)
(Breathing heavily)
(Coughing)
(Door handle clicking)
(Knocking)
(Knocking harder)
Can I stay here
for a bit?
Where's Nanny?
She's in bed.
Already?
That's pretty early for her.
She feeling okay?
Pete came by today.
He's thinking about
pressing charges.
For what?
JENNIFER:
For what?
You broke into
his shed, Eliza!
(Chuckling)
Well, I'm there every other day
getting wood for him anyways.
That's hardly
the same thing, is it?
I don't understand
why someone would want
to take a picture with
a moose head like that.
Half the men in the harbor
have a photo of a dead moose
hanging on their
living room walls.
I'm going up to bed.
(Voices chattering on TV)
Do you
want another one?
Oh. Thanks, girl.
Sit down.
Nobody's got anything
to say to me.
You should be
glad they don't.
Can I borrow something
of yours to wear tonight?
Where you going?
To the dance.
The fundraiser is tonight.
You are not
going near it.
Mom, I-- I organized
the event.
I'm going.
JENNIFER: You're
asking for trouble!
That's what
you think, isn't it?
Yes.
(Chuckling)
The first thing you do
after all this comes out is,
you go off to
a motel with Toni!
How do you think
that looks?
I don't know.
You tell me.
Spending the night in a
motel room with a lesbian?
What were you doing?
How's it going?
I assume you're not
here for a cup of tea.
(Chuckling)
I gotta talk to you
about Pete's shed.
Okay. So talk.
He says he won't press
charges if you move.
Perfect.
I'll just
pick up my house
and move it 10 feet
to the left, then, will I?
He doesn't feel safe with
you living next to him.
Is that a threat?
Move or else?
I'm just telling you
what he told me.
(Diners chattering)
Hey.
I'll get
you some water.
MAN:
Excuse me, miss?
Okay.
(Modern Celtic music playing,
people chattering)
I thought no
one would come.
Don't be so
foolish, girl.
This crowd wouldn't miss
a dance for anything.
Johnny he's a rover--
You looked
at it, right?
Glanced at it for a second.
Not really.
You've got to
look at it.
Come. Have you seen?
It's like... Ugh.
(Pop music playing
in background)
(Sighing)
Can't believe so many
people follow her.
I don't think
she's that hot.
Definitely looks better
with her face covered up.
(Snickering)
Do you think they were
actually hooking up?
I mean, he says
they weren't,
but I know
what he's like.
It's one thing him fucking
around before we had youngsters,
but I thought he was done
with all that.
And he's staying
in the cabin? Or...
Don't give a fuck
where he's staying.
He tries to set
foot in this house,
I'll tear his
fucking face off.
Carlie.
Get up over them
stairs and into bed.
Now!
(Modern Celtic music playing)
Shit.
Hey. You got some
gall showing your face here.
I don't know
what you think, but--
Yeah. You've been a stuck-up
bitch since we were kids.
Always thought you were
better than everyone else,
better than me.
Fucking Miss Priss going around
with your nose in the air.
I never thought I was
better than--
I saw the pictures! You stole
that fucking hat from my house!
Everyone saw those
disgusting pictures!
- Skank.
- What are you,
some kind of
a sicko or something?
You've been throwing
yourself at him for months.
Do you think I'm stupid?
He's the one that
started talking to me.
(Laughing)
Thought you had everyone fooled,
didn't you?
You fucking
two-faced bitch!
- What a pile of shit.
- Pretending that you...
Why don't you just leave?
Move away!
- And that you cared about us.
- Nobody wants you here anymore.
Jesus! Can we all
come back to reality here?
What is the big outrage?
It is no worse than
what you watches on TV!
Not the kind of
TV I watches.
Yeah. You would
say that, wouldn't you?
Going around with your bosom
hanging out of your shirt.
Stop staring at my bosom if
it bothers you that much.
Why don't you back
off, Christine,
before we all start
broadcasting sins here?
Oh, yes, and you got some
right to talk, haven't you?
Come on. Let's go.
What the fuck
is wrong with you?
What am I supposed to
say to my kids?
- (Shouting)
- Get off of me!
MAN:
Hey!
Get off! Get off!
- (Thumping)
- CROWD: Ooh!
(Breathing heavily)
You shouldn't walk.
I've got two feet
and a heartbeat.
Let me just
give you a ride.
The way you're looking at me,
I'd rather take my chances.
Suit yourself!
(Shifting gears)
What'd you do to her?
Something you never could.
- (Toni grunting)
- (Shawn shouting in pain)
What the fuck, Toni?
Oh, you'd just love for
me to hit you, wouldn't you?
Would that make you
feel like a man?
You think the whole world
exists just for you, don't you?
I'm not the one who
put naked pictures of myself
on the internet!
Hey, no, no, no.
What'd she think was
going to happen?
Okay. Toni, go home.
Toni, go home.
Go home.
(Seagulls calling
distantly)
(Knocking softly)
I need you.
I'm so tired
of you needing me.
What do you want?
ELIZA: (Tearfully)
I don't know.
No, no.
Toni, please, no.
I can't take
this anymore.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about
everything.
I'm sorry that I
ever started that account.
What about Shawn?
I'm sorry about
that, too.
You need to go.
No, no, no.
Please, please.
Ever since I was
a little girl,
I felt like there was
something wrong with me.
That I was dirty.
That I was off.
And I couldn't let anybody
find out the truth about me.
I thought that if I made people
believe that I was good...
...that I'd somehow be
clean again, and...
...and Shawn, he's, like,
the fucking
second coming.
And they
all worship him.
And I thought
"If he wants me, then
I must be worth wanting."
(Crying)
Who I am to fucking
deny him what he wants?
(Toni sighing)
There's nothing wrong
with you.
(Eliza crying)
There's nothing wrong
with you.
I'm so sorry I
wasn't good to you.
(Sniffling)
You know how
I feel about you.
Tell me.
I love you.
(Toni crying)
I love you.
(Crying)
(Laughing)
(Chuckling)
Touch me.
Please.
(Breathing heavily)
(Breathing heavily)
(Breathing heavily)
(Moaning)
(Breathing heavily)
(Moaning)
(Breathing heavily)
(Waves crashing)
Thou art giving
and forgiving
Ever blessing
Ever blessed
Wellspring of
the joy of living
Ocean depth
of happy rest
Thou our Father
Christ our brother
All who live
in love are thine
Teach us how
to love each other
Lift us to
the joy divine
- (Song ending)
- (People murmuring softly)
That wasn't right,
all of them coming at you
like that at the dance.
FATHER MARTIN: Good morning,
my friends,
and thank you all for
coming and joining me today
as we say goodbye
to our beloved church
that has served us so
well for over 100 years.
Now, before the service,
I would like
to thank all of you
for this incredible
fundraising effort.
I should especially
like to thank
Eliza Byrne and
Gloria Byrne,
who led that effort.
(Chickens clucking)
(Clucking)
This day
God sends me
Strength
to sustain me
Might to uphold me
Wisdom as guide
Your eyes
are watchful
Your ears are
(Chattering)
(Seagulls calling)
You come to the hall
for a cup of tea.
No, I better not.
(Birds calling)
Hey, Pete.
I'm staying at Toni's,
so you don't have to worry
about me being here
anymore, all right?
(Birds chirping)
(Fire crackling)
(Faucet squeaking)
(Shutter clicking)
(Shutter clicking)
The first step
into a quiet house
Tepid movement
Cross the room
Why did you leave here
for so long
And not return?
You feel at
home here
You feel at home
All of this was
meant to be yours
Century Lily and me
Conscious of
the way that it was
End at
the beginning
Quick, quick let it go
Do you recognize
yourself
In this moment?
Are you what you
one day said
You would be?
Safety used to walk
in front of me
Now she's
at the door
Won't let you in
so readily
Used to
be wide-eyed
Now I am my own
All of this was
meant to be yours
All of this
was meant to be yours
Century Lily
and me
Century
Lily and me
Conscious of
the way that it was
Conscious of the way
that it was
End at the beginning
End at
the beginning
All of this
was meant to be yours
All of this was
meant to be yours
Century
Lily and me
Century Lily
and me
Conscious of
the way that it was
Conscious of the way
that it was
End at
the beginning
End at the beginning
End at
the beginning
End at the beginning
End at
the beginning
End at the beginning
End at

End at the beginning
