OK? Are you sure? They can't kick us out.
Legally, they already have.
Why is there a For Rent sign outside? You tell us.
These were under the stairs.
What? This says it's the final notice? We thought you wanted to handle the estate agent stuff.
I'm not your mother! Or is this just another thing you want to blame me for? It's OK, Sandie, we all know you've been a bit distracted lately.
No, I haven't! Really? Luke's been hanging out the back of you for weeks.
Like you're one to talk about late nights.
Oh, aye? Did McCann tell you that on one of your all-nighters at the library? And where are you off to?! I've got things to do.
Oh, and I suppose I don't! I just get to wash everyone's dishes and clean up after bin jenga and sort out the estate agent stuff! You wanted to be in charge of And I suppose looking for a new house is going to be another 'Sandie job'? What? Oh Come on, Sandie.
We don't live together as it is.
I mean, when was the last time we were all together, like this, in one room, not arguing? Sheila, that old bitch What? Eva.
Wait! Eva, you don't even know if it was her! "Noise complaints from the neighbours.
" That old whore got us kicked out on our holes.
Sheila! Eva, it's not her fault.
Eva, what? She left.
What do you mean she left? Sheila's gone.
Yo! So when you off? Flight's tonight from Dublin andnothing but beer and sunshine for me, lad.
Did my dad mention anything to you about coming up to Belfast? Ah, look, he's probably just up for the match.
You know? He knows.
He said he'd been hearing stories about what I'd been getting up to.
Said he was coming up to sort things out.
Well, I didn't tell him, Con.
Doesn't matter much now.
Does it? He probably thinks I'm some kind of freak.
Con, just stop.
Just got to prove him wrong and show him what you're made of, you know? Got your text.
Yeah, thanksfor coming.
Um Got you something.
It's second-hand, but the guy online had really good feedback.
But this is What? A goodbye present? No, I just Yeah, I'm leaving.
Going travelling.
By yourself? I was thinking of getting a job, saving some money, then seeing how far I get.
You're going with McCann, aren't you? What? This is just so you, Jess.
As soon as things get tough, you just run off.
When we had our problems, you didn't try to fix them or talk about them.
You just go after the first idiot that shows you a way out.
Wawait.
This isn't what you talked about.
"Travelling, seeing the world.
" You're just running away.
Danny, I'm not! But, yeah Have fun.
OK? HE CLEARS HIS THROA Where are you off to? Match.
You're back playing? Yeah.
You should be happy.
Little payback for Meadows and all his shit.
He was the one who decked you the other night, wasn't he? Look, I can take care of this myself, all right? I don't need you swooping in at the last minute.
So what about when I dragged your arse off our doorstep and cleaned you up the other night? Don't know why I bothered now.
Here, have you seen this one? Since when do you care so much about us all living together? I don't! Eva, I know you're pissed about how you and Sheila left things.
Just because she's gone doesn't mean you have to work this hard to keep the rest of us together.
I'm glad she's gone.
Good riddance to her.
And if she had wanted me to know, she would have had the balls to come and say goodbye to my face.
Eva .
.
I'm leaving.
Have you not seen the sign outside? We're all leaving.
No, I mean, I'm moving home.
Back to my mum's.
Is this because Jess is going? No, this is about me.
II don't know what I'm doing here.
Not after the hash I made of my film course.
It wasn't that bad.
And if I'm not staying for the course, or for my girlfriend, then what? Racking up all this debt on tuition fees, sleeping on a sofa, and for what? I don't know Hey.
Oh, hiya! I didn't know if you got my text.
Yeah, what's going on? I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't be here, but Basically, I'm homeless.
I just can't talk about this now.
My parents are right inside, you know? I know, I just thought Hold on, wait inside the car.
I'll make an excuse and I'll be out as soon as I can, OK? No, you don't have to.
I'm going to sort this out.
DOORBELL RINGS Is Conor here? Who's asking? His father.
You forget something? Sorry, I'm so sorry, I just couldn't get away.
You OK? I'm sorry, Ishouldn't have No, I was just thinking, if you needed somewhere to crash I think we shouldn't see each other any more.
I thought it was what you wanted.
What we both wanted.
You don't know what you want.
Medicine, girlfriends Sandie! But let me tell you what you want, OK? You want to be with your girlfriend.
Just like you have for the last year and like you did, even after you met me.
Sandie, I'm ending things with Sarah.
No, you're not.
But it was fun pretending, wasn't it? You, running about like you were single andme, acting like the other woman.
Whatever that is.
Here.
You should go.
What? No! Please justget out.
No! We have to talk about this! I can't! I can't.
Please just .

And SHE SIGHS .

MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES No! I did not have yous evicted, you cheeky wee All right! All right! I put up with you long enough, why would I only complain once I'm out the door? I don't know Dementia? The new place looks all right? "Sheltered accommodation.
" It's nice enough.
And they have people to look in on you.
So Danny's leaving.
He's moving back home.
Oh.
Oh, right.
And what did you say? Nothing.
Makes a change.
Wasn't so long ago you were hunting down my exes, asking for second chances.
And? I missed the boat with Tommy, 32 years and four dogs ago.
It doesn't matter what I'd say to him now.
Only what I didn't say back then.
Look, I'm fine on me own! Now, that sounds familiar.
REFEREE WHISTLES MOBILE PHONE RINGS Sand-job! Where are you at? 'Leech, have you seen Conor?' He tried to phone me, but I can't get hold of him now.
Yeah, yeah, he's here at the match, he's back playing! What? No! Leech, Conor can't play! MUFFLED: 'It's too dangerous!' What are you on about!? LINE GOES DEAD Leech?! OhLeech? 'OK Think this is running.
'Right, well, I think this whole gift thing didn't really go 'so well the first time, did it? 'So take two' This camera's for you, Danny.
For all the films you've still got to make.
And I know you will.
Even if I might not see them.
Look, I am leaving.
But not with Ronan.
Because you were wrong, smartarse.
Cos I'm not running away.
For the first time in forever, it's like I'm running TO something.
I want to go to Chile and Mongolia and stay in cheap hostels and all that crap.
And I don't want to keep blaming anyone else for for me being too scared to do this.
So take lots of pictures and make lots of movies, because I'll want to see them all when I get back.
'Because for all your talk about giving up, 'or dropping out, 'you're right where you're supposed to be, Danny.
'Exactly where you need to be.
' 'I'm just sorry I wasn't.
' THEY CHEER You're not supposed to be here.
Could say the same about you.
Sandie told me.
I mean, what are you doing, huh? I'm out there cheering you on with your da and I didn't even know you weren't supposed to be playing football.
I'm fine.
Same as ever.
No, you're not.
And don't tell me this about getting one over on that bellend across the street.
Get out of my way, Leech.
I'm not moving.
I'm not going to tell you again.
You're not going out there, Conor.
Move! So what's this about, huh? What's the plan here? What, your da sees you out on the pitch, one of the lads, and what?! Hmm? Everything's perfect? You're better, all of a sudden? You can't play football any more and you're never going to be straight.
I know that's what I wanted! When I first found out about you.
I didn't want it to be true.
I just wanted for you to go back to being Conor again.
Be my mate again.
Cos a real mate wouldn't lie about something like that! I couldn't tell you.
You don't have to prove anything to people like me.
Not to those wankers out there, not to Meadows, not even to your da! All right? Right, I was looking for you.
Oh, yeah? You all packed up then? I was talking to Sheila, about you moving back, and shewell, I thought that you shouldn't move back home.
I mean that I don't want you to go.
Or Eva, It's OK.
I'm not going anywhere, I'm staying right here.
Good.
Coscos I like you, Danny.
Like, I really like you.
More than a friend.
I really like you too.
But Jess is gone.
And she left because of me.
Cos once we got together, we couldn't go back.
I've already lost one friend today.
And I don't want to lose another one.
Come here.
Your da must've left.
I didn't see him when we were leaving.
Yeah, probably for the best.
All right, losers! Ah, I'm only messing, Leechy.
How's your wee mate over there? Were you too scared to stick around for the second half? Come on.
Just keep the noise down.
I wouldn't want to have to complain to your landlord again! What did he say? Conor.
So, um, you enjoy the match? I didn't come up here for a football match.
These are my housemates.
