This is the sound, the sound of Limerick's live 95 FM.
Limerick's live 95 FM, traffic and weather...
in fifteen minutes.
Traffic in the Dock Road outbound, busy but moving.
Some delays on the... as well.
In the city centre, Upper William Street,
Henry Street and some parts of McConnell Street,
they're the worst hit.
We're expecting long delays there this afternoon.
Inbound, traffic coming in from the north side,
Ennis Road and a little bit of congestion...
on the Sarsfield bridge.
On the south side, traffic's moving on the Dublin Road,
on the... road, very busy in the... area...
Have you ever felt that life was passing you by?
Did you ever feel like there was something missing?
If you knew what that something was,
would you know where to look for it?
ACCOMMODATION TO LET
would you even know where to begin?
Next, please.
- Doon, CBS? - 'Scuse me?
You went to school in Doon, didn't you?
- Yes, I did. - So did I.
You were 3 years ahead of me.
Okay.
I sat beside you for my Christmas tests.
Christmas '98.
- Small world. - Sure it is.
Hate to have to paint it though.
Excuse me...
I'm afraid the apartment has been let.
- Nightmare, huh? - Better believe it.
Listen, best of luck. Hope you find somewhere.
Yeah, you too.
The room is just down here.
It's not very big.
That's why it's so reasonable.
Here we are now...
Hello?
Here's one. Just in.
Right in the city centre.
Oh dear.
That's way out of your price range.
Don't you have any one you could share with?
No...but I'm open to suggestions.
There was actually someone else enquiring...
about the same property.
He seems very nice.
That's him over there.
Jesus, you're right in the city centre.
I know.
That's the whole point.
And make sure you keep your door locked.
You don't know what kind of funny characters...
live around here.
Cheers.
Mum, come on, will ya?
Jesus...
Well, he puts you to shame anyway with all his stuff.
Ma, this is Vincent.
Hello.
You're not at home now. So mind yourself.
Ah, Ma!
Wear this around your neck.
It's a St. Christopher's medal.
Ma, go.
Nice to meet you. Goodbye.
Mind yourself!
I will.
Goodbye.
Woah! Not so fast, not so fast.
Have you been here before?
No.
Members only.
Members?
You're not getting in. Beat it.
Why?
Because. Now fuck off.
Thanks.
Listen, are you going to move away...
or do we have to make you?
Gin and tonic, please.
Got a light?
Number five over here, please.
Can I help you?
Uh ... Ah... a bag of...
Chips?
Yeah, a bag of chips.
Curry chips? Garlic chips?
Cheese fries? Curly fries?
Coleslaw? Garlic and cheese?
Curry and cheese?
Would you like me to repeat that?
What's your favourite?
I'm sorry?
What kind of chips do you like?
- The thick, crinkly ones. - I'll have a bag of those.
We don't sell 'em.
Just regular then.
Who's next?
Cheeseburger and chips please.
Watch the shirt, watch the shirt!
I'll buy you a new one.
Shit!
Oi! Why haven't you clocked in?
How many warnings do you need, Shane?
Here, go away and make the tea.
Coffee, three sugars, love.
I like what you've done in the living room.
You sure?
Cos if you don't, we can change it.
Did you have a good night last night?
Oh yeah ... You?
You go out?
No. Stayed in.
You know many people in town?
Just a few at work.
Guess you know near enough every one...
Being in art school 'n all that.
Yeah.
Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
So how come you moved in here...
With me?
Are you that awful to live with?
Sick of living with students to tell the truth.
There's only so many sleepless nights...
and weeks of unwashed dishes you can take.
This is your first flat?
Yup.
Been hitching in and out of town for the last 6 months.
Always late for work.
First day living in town and I sleep in.
I remember that Christmas...
You asked me the answer to a question...
on your chemistry paper.
What's the chemical symbol for hydrogen dioxide?
You said it was H2O.
H2O is water.
I knew that too, but I believed you.
Sorry.
That's how I knew you.
I thought, "there's that bastard..."
Are you gay?
Why do you ask?
Yes, I am.
It's the fashion thing, isn't it?
It's... everything.
I'm not, by the way.
I figured.
It's the hair thing, isn't it?
It's everything.
I've got a bottle of wine in the fridge.
You've never had any experience with any one...
of the same sex at all?
Not even when you were younger?
- No. - That's unusual.
Most people experiment when they're very young.
I haven't. Honestly.
When did you have your first encounter?
On a school trip to France.
In 1997?
I was on that trip. With who?
- I'm not telling you. - Come on, tell me.
On the ship to France, or when we were in France?
I'm not telling you.
Tell me or give me back that cigarette you're smoking.
- It was on the ship. - With who?
- Jimmy Doherty. - The traffic warden?
No way!
He's a traffic warden now, but he wasn't then.
We were sharing a cabin together.
We just kissed a bit and then we played around a bit.
Jesus, I can't believe it. Jimmy Doherty!
See. You never know.
So what's it like then?
What?
Sex... with a man.
It's nice.
Nice? Only nice?
Ever slept with a woman?
Never. You?
Sure.
- Did she enjoy it? - she didn't say she didn't.
I love fashion.
It's all I've ever wanted to do.
But it's hard.
I never thought it'd be this hard.
How is it hard?
Well, I graduate in a few months, right?
But before I graduate, as well as sitting my final exams,
I have to prepare a collection for the graduate show.
It's a fashion show.
Every final-year fashion student has to produce...
a collection for it.
That's what it all leads up to.
That one night.
I haven't even started preparing mine.
What are you going to do when you graduate?
I don't know.
Ideally I'd like to go to New York.
I was there once. 10 years ago.
With my parents.
I fell in love with the place.
Instantly.
- Sorry. - It's okay.
I don't know what it is.
That's where I want to be, you know?
The Big Apple.
You're lucky to have that.
all that: New York.
The fashion thing. The gay thing.
Lucky because you belong I guess is what I mean.
When you're gay you're part of something, aren't you?
Part of a scene.
You don't know the gay scene in Limerick.
It's a scene.
There is nothing like it if you're straight.
You want me to get you an application form?
We're always on the look out for new talent.
No, thanks.
I'm doing alright.
Maybe you don't know it, but it sounds to me...
like you're lonely.
There are places for guys like you as well.
They're called pubs, Shane.
Good night, Vincent.
Sweet dreams.
Chicken-bacon, cheese-bacon, two 7-Ups.
Thank you.
Thanks.
- Regular chips? - Uh...
Yeah, please.
Hey. Shane, say hello to Gemma.
- Gemma, meet Shane. - Hello.
You... You work in Supermac's.
I went in for a bag of chips and there she was...
behind the counter.
We did our foundation year together.
I can't believe it.
Gemma's been in the States for the last 2 years.
Where have you been hiding since you came back?
And why didn't you call up to the college?
I've hardly set foot outside the door...
since I stepped off the plane.
No money, living at home with my parents again.
Bit of a shock, like.
So, is this the start of a career...
in the fast food industry?
Get lost, will you?
Are you coming back to art school?
I'm thinking about it.
I'm thinking of going to art school, too.
You?
Shane works in the civil service.
In the... Department of Agriculture.
So what's it like there now?
Oh, it was never the same after you left.
Cried myself to sleep the first 6 months.
Ah, shut up!
Oh, Jesus.
You haven't changed.
I thought those yanks might have knocked...
some manners into you, but I can see they didn't.
Wanna see my designs for the fashion show?
- They're in my bedroom. - Oh, show me.
See you later.
...and your flatmate Shane, what's he like?
Who, Shane?
I don't know, but... I went to school with him ...
Nice.
He is nice, but a complete square.
20 years old and he's got a full-time job.
Oh, god, and his hair!
No. I'm fine.
I said, I'm fine.
Vincent? He's nice.
What do you want me to say?
Yeah, Ma, I'm not lonely.
I'm not lonely, Ma.
Yeah, I'm wearing it.
I'm grand.
Okay, bye.
Bye.
Give us a drag of your fag, will ya?
Bastard.
Holy shit.
Shit!
How're you?
You reckon it's someone in the building?
Got to be.
Don't worry, son, it might never happen.
What are you doing?
Putting it back, putting it back.
It's yours, isn't it? It's all there.
I didn't touch it.
I didn't mean to take it. I didn't.
I tried to put it back. But there was always someone.
I didn't take anything. I just looked, that's all.
Hi, I'm Keith.
I live right there.
Shane... I just moved in.
Can I buy you a pint?
Hi, Ann.
Hello, John.
- A pint? - Sure.
Two pints please, Mick.
There's a seat over there. D'you wanna grab it?
Shane. Budgie.
- Hello. - Cheers, lads.
Is he going to be alright?
Fine.
- Are you alright? - I'm fine.
Why don't you skin one up for us?
Here? Better do it in the toilet.
- You can skin up, can't you? - Sure I can.
Why are we sitting here with this joker?
Jesus, man, when we said skin it up in the toilet...
we didn't mean in the toilet.
I need to head.
Come on. I'll walk you out.
Listen, I appreciate that business with the stash.
Somebody else might have been a real asshole about it.
- That's okay. - No, I want to pay you back.
I want to do something for you.
How does 800 Euro sound to you?
Who do I have to kill?
You just got to go to Dublin and collect something for me.
- Collect something? - Yeah, just a bit of smoke.
That's all. Nothing heavy.
Just a bit of hash. No, no.
Okay, okay 1,000. Plus expenses.
Think about it. 1,000 Euro ...
Think what you could do with 1,000 Euro.
No, no. I couldn't.
- I'll see you around, yeah? - You can count on it.
Shit.
[Music]
What's wrong with you?
You've hardly said two words since you came home.
- Nothing. - Sure?
I'm going to bed after the next one.
I mean it.
If the next video is crap, I'm going to bed.
What's the story with Gemma? Has she got a boyfriend?
So, you like her. I thought you might.
- She's nice. - Nice?
Nicer than a bag of thick, crinkly chips?
- bitch. - You old smoothie you.
No, she doesn't have a boyfriend.
I'm not sure you're her type though.
What's her type?
Trendy. Sexy.
- Female. - Female?
I'm not saying she's a lesbian ...
Exactly.
Might have just been an art school thing.
Don't despair.
I don't think her heart was really in it.
Look, you never know.
Want me to put in a good word for you?
You could start by not speaking bad about me to her.
- What? - "He's really square."
Thin walls in this flat.
So that's what's wrong with you.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you.
I'm a fashion student, what can I say?
I was referring to the way you dress.
What's wrong with the way I dress?
Right, jeans. Let's start with these.
If you must wear jeans, buy a label like Levi's
or Diesel or something.
Never...
Top Brand or any other label that wouldn't look...
out of place on a can of soup.
So let's get rid of these, these and these.
Next: Sweaters.
Sweaters and the colour black.
Once you have a taste for either you're in trouble.
Either you have a million sweaters
or everything you have is black.
You have the sweater problem, Shane,
and the only way to cure it is to throw them all out.
- No way! - Next: shirts.
Anything with a pattern is naff.
Anything where the collar is a different colour...
to the rest of the shirt is a capital offence.
So what's left?
Naff.
Well, it's much worse than I thought.
But don't worry. We can rebuild you.
Ah, ah, ah.
In the '50s getting a job in the civil service...
was like winning the lottery.
A secure job for life.
My poor mother, the Lord have mercy on her,
she was over the moon.
Choice? There was no choice.
I just took the job and that was the end of it.
Why didn't you ever leave?
You're not married or anything.
Why would you stay so long in a job you hate?
I was afraid, son. It's as simple as that.
I hadn't the balls to do anything different.
ADMISSIONS OFFICE

Ladies and gentlemen, we are now approaching Heuston Station,
Dublin, where this train will terminate.
Once again: We are now approaching Heuston Station,
Dublin, where this train will terminate.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, the 13:00h train from Limerick
has now arrived on platform one.
The 13:00h train from Limerick
has now arrived on platform one.
The 15:30 service to Waterford
will be departing shortly from platform 3.
- Hello? - Who is this?
U m ... The guy...
From Limerick?
- Where are you? - I'm at the train station.
You're late.
I am? Keith said to take the 6...
No names! No names!
Sorry, sorry.
- You alone? - Of course.
Hang up.
What? Hang up the phone.
Bunny. Put it there.
C'mon. Let's get out of here.
C'mon, will ya?
Larnró d Éireann would like to remind all passengers
not to leave your baggage unattended in the station area.
Thank you.
C'mon.
Are you him? Is that him?
Get in.
How do you know Keith then?
I live upstairs from him. Who are you?
I presume you know who I am?
You presume correct. Call me Frankie.
Tell me this, Shane. Are you a cowboy?
What?
He's got the look of an outlaw.
Yeah, a fuckin' desperado.
You ever been in a stolen car before?
This car is stolen?
Watch where you put your hands.
Fingerprints.
What are you waiting on? A red carpet?
Know what you're picking up?
Hash?
- Quantities? - No idea.
Keith said it had all been arranged.
Keith said it was just going to be hash.
- Yeah. - Where's your bag?
Anything in there got your name on it?
I don't think so.
Better be sure.
You don't want to be associated with this package...
if the pigs come sniffing.
I'm sure.
Right. Let's kit you out.
Where are you staying tonight, Cowboy?
What?
Remember what you've got in that bag.
So on as we get back to town you stash it...
in a locker at the station.
Pick it up just before you hop in the train.
Keep as much distance between you and it as you can.
Remember, you can't get busted for something you don't have.
And don't look so fuckin' worried.
- How do you feel, Cowboy? - I'm okay.
Okay? I'm good.
I'm very good.
Didn't you see the sign?
What are you doing?
I'm calling for an ambulance. And the police.
- You've been drinking. - Put down the phone.
- Frankie... - Shut it!
- I said put down the phone. - Hello?
There's been an accident. I need ...
Come on!
I said, come on! Now!
Hey!
He was going to call the cops.
- He didn't leave me a choice. - Would you rather go to jail?
- Is that it? - You're nearly home, Cowboy.
Don't lose it on the last lap.
You made it. Well done.
I hear you had a wild time up there.
Can we just get this over with?
Relax, relax. You've done your bit.
Jesus, man.
I didn't think you had it in you.
Count it if you want. It's all there.
I trust you.
Shane!
She must be pretty special.
Who?
You're not an alcoholic, you're not a gambler.
You're definitely not a junkie.
What else does a guy need that kind of money for?
You can keep the kitbag.
- Where have you been? - I was at home.
- Are you alright? - I'm fine.
What is it? Did something happen at home?
No.
It's nothing.
I'm fine. Really.
How are you getting on with the fashion show?
Disastrous.
If I don't come up with something soon I'm going ...
to be asking Gemma to put in a word for me at Supermac's.
- Ah, you'll be grand. - I wish I had your confidence.
How come you never went to college?
I wanted to.
My dad got killed last year...
Got run over by a drunk driver.
- Shit. - My mother took it really bad.
After he died there wasn't much money around.
I did the civil service exam ...
And that was that.
- What's that? - It's mine.
I earned it.
Jesus and you carry it around in an envelope?
- How much you got? - Enough.
For what?
You said I needed a whole new wardrobe, didn't you?
Or maybe I could put it towards college fees.
College fees?
Drawing is the only thing I'm any good at.
- It's the only thing I'm into. - You've got talent.
There's no doubt about it, but listen.
Art school ... It's awful.
It's soul destroying.
Or maybe I'll just spend it on clothes.
Save your money for art school.
The clothes thing? That's my department.
When I said we could rebuild you, I wasn't joking.
Eye gel: Gets rid of puffy black rings under your eyes.
Lip gel: Totally addicted to the stuff.
This one is apple.
Try some. It's delicious.
No, thanks. I'm trying to cut down.
Facial scrub. Never use soap.
Really bad for the skin ...
Here, try some of this foundation.
Ah, forget it. I'm not wearing make up.
Oh, come on.
Lots of guys wear make up. It's no big deal.
What are you afraid of? It doesn't sting.
Look, Vincent, I ...
You're in safe hands. I know just what to do.
God, you're so tense.
Relax.
Now I'm going to give you something ...
you desperately need.
Something I've wanted to do to you ...
since I first laid eyes on you.
And you're going to love it.
Two bottles of your finest Bud, please.
Bud?
What are you doing?
This is a special occasion.
Two glasses of your cheapest sparkling wine, please.
To lookin' good.
Well, I'm glad someone had a good night.
- What time do you close? - You got plans?
We never did have a house-warming party, did we?
Did someone say "party"?
Shane? He's definitely not my type.
What makes you say that?
Just the way you two flirt with each other, that's all.
Just a vibe.
Well you're wrong. Defin itely wrong.
We don't flirt.
Fuckin' hell, Vincent, we're strangers in our own home.
Oh my God, do you smell that? There's people taking drugs.
Here, you want some?
Jesus, the smell of that stuff.
I need to lie down.
Vincent doesn't approve of hash.
He's really uptight about it.
Four years of art school with that attitude?
Makes up for it with his other vices.
Are you one of his vices?
You look...
Different.
Haircut.
Can I get you a drink?
That a joint?
Is it your place?
- Yeah. - Great party.
I'm gonna see how Vincent's doing.
I've served you. In the chipper.
Yes, you have.
Far as I'm concerned, you don't have to pay...
for another bag of chips as long as you live.
Ever.
Thanks.
Jesus, you're cute.
Well, looks like the flat's been christened.
- Freeze, Cowboy! - Hey.
Hello stranger, where have you been hiding?
I haven't been hiding.
Check the new threads on this fella!
Ah, you look good man.
If you need any more money for plastic surgery or...
anything you just let us know, all right?
We are always on the look out for...
young professionals like yourself.
Especially ones who look like...
butter wouldn't melt in their mouths.
What are you up to?
Nothing, I just got back from work.
- Come with us. - No, no, I don't...
Come on, it'll be fun, I promise.
- Where are you going? - Out.
Out, out.
- Come on. - Live a little.
See how easy it is?
We just doubled our money.
In 200 words or less state why you would like to study Art.
Get that down you.
Cheers.
What's that you got there?
Ah, nothing.
Jesus, the head on ya!
You're not still down with the hangover, are ya?
Come on, we'll go for a pint somewhere.
Jesus, no.
Listen to the voice of experience, son.
You get a few pints down you and you'll be grand.
Big smiles, everybody!
Okay, let's go!
At least they were cheap.
They look it.
I'm in trouble, oh boy.
You wouldn't happen to have a Valium on you, would you?
What are you asking me for?
Shane's got all the connections.
'Scuse me?
You told me you saved that money.
- I told you I earned it. - Who cares?
You didn't tell me where it really came from.
Why should I?
It's got nothing to do with you.
I suddenly find out I'm living with a drug dealer...
and it's got nothing to do with me?
Jesus Christ, how long have you been away from home?
Weeks!
And you turn into fuckin' Scarface.
No wonder your mother was throwing medals at you.
- Leave my mother out of this. - Oh, please...
Just because you've never smoked a joint.
Don't give me this holier than thou crap.
But that's not what we're talking about here, is it?
We're not talking about a joint, are we?
No.
You go straight for the big time.
Class A.
Coke, "E" and God knows what else.
Just tell me this.
Are there drugs in this apartment right now?
When you first moved in here I didn't know...
what to make of you.
Then I began to think that you were really sound ...
I thought we'd really become mates.
Now...
I thought you were someone else.
HAPPY RETIREMENT, JERRY
If there's one man I know...
who hates to be the centre of attention, it's Jerry Brown.
For 47 years he's kept his head down,
hoping no one would notice he was still here.
Well you need hide no more, Jerry.
It's time to go home now.
Esther?
Speech!
On behalf of all of us, Jerry.
Big smile, please.
Smile!
You okay?
Births, marriages, engagements, retirements.
If I'd a pound for every pint I pissed into the Shannon,
I'd have retired years ago.
Jerry?
No...
Shane love, where are you going?
Is he okay?
Fuckin' students.
If your mother could see you now,
she'd never let you out again.
You ever seen one of these before, Shane?
It looks like an "E", but this shit's way beyond "E".
Dimethoxy-4-bomo amphetamine. That's "flatliners" to you.
You don't recognise it? You should.
You brought 400 of them back from Dublin.
...she was crazy about it.
Hello!
Hello in there!
Watch where you're fuckin' goin', will you?
Come on, so ...
Back off, cunt.
Come on.
This isn't a problem, lads. He's with me, it's okay.
Jesus Christ!
Those flats are supposed to chill you out!
He's a fuckin' madman.
I suggest you fuck off home now,
before you get a proper hiding.
- Calm down man! - Get off me, get off me!
Just calm down!
It's okay.
It's OKAY!
Why did he do that?
- I didn't do anything to him. - I know you didn't.
I know.
Here.
You okay?
Did you ever...
Did you ever get scared that something terrible...
was gonna happen unless you did something?
I'm in bad shape.
Don't be scared.
It's hard to keep it all inside.
We all pretend to be something we're not.
You're not the only one.
I had you sussed the first moment I laid eyes on you.
How hard did you hit him?
No! Stop!
No! Don't!
I've got to head.
Keith!
I'm not like you.
So let us commend our brother Jerry to the Lord ...
so that the Lord may embrace him in peace...
and raise up his body on the last day.
In sure and certain hope of the resurrection ...
to eternal life,
we commend to almighty God our brother Jerry.
Oscar 98, request back-up.
... giving away cash as per usual.
Remember, if any one comes up to you and asks you...
what radio station you listen to,
tell them "the phrase that pays".
If it's one of our crew, they'll give you 50 Euro
on the spot or 100 Euro if...
They will be out there on the streets of Limerick City
and County tomorrow morning...
Now, what do you think of these strip clubs?
Is it all just a little bit of harmless fun
or is it totally sick?
What do you think about it, Judy?
Well, Harry, I'm actually very annoyed there now...
I've never heard such rubbish in all my whole life.
Married with two children!
He shouldn't be spending his money inside a strip club,
he should be spending it somewhere else...
But there's no harm in it.
What are you doing?
Helping.
Come here.
Hold this.
You owe me for a new pair of glasses.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
I don't know what was going on in my head.
How's the nose?
Nothing a little bit of...
reconstructive surgery won't fix.
You're a fuckin' idiot.
I am.
I'm glad you're here.
- When's the fashion show? - Day after tomorrow.
Well ...
Let's do it.
Councillor John Ryan, good morning to you.
Good morning, Ed.
Lovely morning this morning.
It is, and we hope it's gonna last until the end of the week,
but you didn't call to talk about the weather,
did you?
Couldn't have done it without you.
Sure you could.
Just would have been harder, that's all.
Fashion show tomorrow night and that's it.
Don't remind me.
I've got the Addams family for models.
Are you going to light that thing or what?
- You sure you want to? - Give it here.
Jesus.
And after tomorrow night, what then?
Shall I be advertising for a new flatmate, or what?
I don't know. The whole New York thing ...
I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.
You might need Gemma's connections yet.
Gemma... She needs to find someone.
A man.
Someone handsome, stylish, artistic...straight.
Maybe you can give me a few pointers ...
on how to attract women.
She's crazy for you.
Maybe you can give me a few pointers on how to attract men.
- What are you talking about? - Thin walls in this apartment.
You heard all that?
If I ever had any doubts about your sexuality...
they were dispelled that night.
Keith's a fine thing.
You should have let him carry on.
Who knows? You might have enjoyed it.
- Shit, it's Keith. - No, it's Gemma.
We have a warrant to search these premises on suspicion ...
that you're in possession of an illegal substance.
Here is a copy of the warrant for your inspection.
Bingo.
Care to tell us what's in the bag, lads?
This one's smoking a joint!
- Oh my God. - Stop saying that!
It's a dream. It's a bad dream.
I'm going to wake up soon.
Forget about ever going to the States now.
They don't give visas to convicted drug felons.
You've got to tell them, Shane.
You've got to tell them it was your hash and your cocaine.
I did already.
We were caught in possession. They won't listen.
That's the first time...
I've ever had a joint in my whole life.
I don't even smoke.
Here you go, lads.
I'll throw you in some sheets later on.
You might as well settle in.
You're going to be staying the night.
Oh my God.
What are you going to do with us?
You'll be brought before the Inspector...
first thing in the morning and charged.
And after that, I couldn't tell you.
Try and relax about it now, lads.
The damage is done.
Aren't we supposed to get a phone call or something?
Who are you going to call? Your parents?
Well, at least we have each other.
Forgive me, Shane,
if I fail to take any comfort in that whatsoever.
And don't say: "It could be worse".
I wonder how hard it would be to break out of a place like this?
We could go on the run,
catch that flight to the States and become fugitives.
Thelma and Louise.
We could call the guard and pretend you're sick...
Then hit him over the head when he comes in,
and steal his uniform.
Or hang flat against the ceiling and the guards will think...
we've escaped and run out and leave the door open ...
And we'd just walk out.
Oh god, Shane, I think I'm going to cry.
I don't know why I'm laughing.
The Inspector will be along in a minute.
Oh God, help me.
Hi.
Can you excuse us for a moment please?
So how have you been, loverboy?
There is a God! There is a God!
I swear I'll never take drugs again.
What time is it?
- Noon. - Oh no!
I'm missing the whole rehearsal.
I'll see you at the fashion show tonight!
Vincent!
What is it?
Hurry!
I just...
I just wanted to say...
Whatever happens tonight, however the show goes,
I just want to let you know I think you're the best.
You've worked your magic on me...
and I'll never be the same again.
What?
And for this year's theme,
Oona has gone for classic urban chic.
Okay, yeah.
You're up, Vincent.
Two minutes.
Ladies and Gentlemen, please put your hands together...
and welcome on stage a unique collection
from Mr. Vincent Cusack.
Congratulations.
Don't plan on getting much sleep tonight, Butler.
You and me are hitting the tiles.
- Big time. - Not too big.
- You need to start saving now. - For what?
What's this?
New York. Open return.
Dignity, Vincent. Remember your dignity.
Come here.
Mam, Dad, I'd like you to meet Shane Butler.
My best friend.
- Shane, how are you? - Pleased to meet you.
Dad, take a photo. Me and Shane.
Sure. Say "cheese".
I can't accept this.
Standard four weeks notice.
That's all there is to it.
Don't throw away your future on a whim, Shane.
Go home, think about it for a while.
Look at you.
Look at the state of you.
You can only burn the candle at both ends for so long.
It's my wick and I'll go out in flames if I want to.
Shane...
Jerry would have been proud of you.
We would like to ask the remaining passengers for
Aer Lingus Flight Ei 6 to Boston,
please go to gate...
Well, I guess this is it then.
I'll miss you, Butler.
It's been fun hasn't it?
It's never been boring.
bye.
I wish you were coming with me.
Go on.
Go.
Take care of yourself.
Do you think he'll be okay?
Vincent? He'll be grand.
Are you kidding me? He'll always be grand.
Can I buy you a drink?
Could a Mr. Rodney Devitt, recently arrived from London,
please pick up a white courtesy phone.
Would you mind raising your arms please, sir?
Could you empty your pockets please, sir?
Did you ever feel like you were missing out?
Did you ever feel like you didn't belong?
I used to feel that way. Big time.
I thought that by changing the way I looked and dressed,
I could plug all the gaps in my life.
I wanted to be a part of something.
Anything.
I didn't care what. I didn't care how.
LIMERICK COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN
I thought that I could buy a style.
A style to change me.
Create a new me. Make me someone else.
It was only when I realised how wrong I was ...
that I suddenly saw the person I wanted to be...
looking right back at me.
Now, for the first time in my life I can see what is ...
beautiful and what's really important.
And it's all around.
So close, I just have to reach out and it's there.
I've found my voice.
Show me how to use it.
