1. Location, amusement park,
rock music played on the radio speakers during the day , "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Percy Sledge, and the singing echoes in the amusement park. A young man with short hair and a tattoo is shooting an air gun. The children screamed on the ring pulley.
There is a black man in front of the stall, wearing a khaki uniform with a blond Irish girl on his side. He is drunk and has a coconut in his hand. He threw the coconut out and knocked a pink teddy bear down on the grass.
Jody: That's cricket, dear.
The watchman handed him the teddy bear. The little bear looked funny in his huge hand, and he gave it to the girl.
Jody: Do you want it?
Girl: Of course.
Jody: It doesn't matter if you don't want it.
He put his arms around her, not letting her go forward.
Jody: Jody will not be offended. What do you say your name is?
Girl: Joan.
Jody: Joan. suitable for you.
Joan: This teddy bear?
Jody: No, fuck the bear, I said the name. It's June, Joan in June.
He walked to a canvas tent, which was a simple toilet.
Jody: I have to pee, Joan.
He took her by the hand.
Jody: Don't run away, Joan.
Joan: You don't understand me, do you?
Jody walked into the tent, but still held onto Joan's hand. She stood against the wall, looking impatient.
Jody (inside): What if this is the case?
Joan: You know I won't run away.
She stood there, listening to his urinating sound. Her eyes searched quickly in the playground, and finally fell on a rustically dressed young man who nodded to her.
Jody: Don't even think about peeing if you grab the girl's hand, Joan.
Joan: Didn't you come out?
Jody: Do you know why?
Joan: Tell me, Jody.
He buttoned the button and wobbled out.
Jody: That's great.
He went to kiss her, and she pushed his face away.
Joan: Don't stay here.
Jody: Who cares.
Joan: How do you know?
She pulled him towards the woods.
Jody: I don't know anything.
Joan: They will watch it.
Jody followed her forward, humming a song.
Jody: When a man falls in love with a woman, he wants to sleep in the rain. He will turn his back on his best friend. If he brought her down, he would abandon all his comfort.
She led him through the undergrowth and into a field of wheat. Suddenly, she got into the waist-high wheat field and disappeared.
Joan: Catch me, soldier.
Jody staggered through the wheat field and walked towards her. Her blonde hair fluttered, and she contrasted with the golden wheat. She lay in the fallen straw, spreading her legs.
Jody: What else are you talking about, Joan...
He crawled towards her on his knees. She put her arms around his neck and kissed him. He pressed against her and untied his belt clumsily. Joan lifted one eye to look up, and a shadow passed over them.
Jody is kissing Joan. A gun was held against the back of his head. He turned his face staringly.
Jody: What the hell...
the gun hit his cheek hard and he fell to one side. Joan put on his shoes indiscriminately and rushed into the barley like an animal. Jody covered her face, and he watched her blond hair disappear into the wheat field. He raised his head, and a circle of men stood around him. The tallest one, Fergus, opened the trigger of the gun.
2. Interior view, car,
a miniature car driving on a rural road during the day . There were two people in the front row and three people in the back. Jody was lying on the ground with three pairs of feet on him and a black cover on his head. Fergus was holding a gun, the muzzle pointed at Jodi's face, he was smoking, his movements were slow and somewhat awkward.
Fergus: Your name, soldier?
Jody: Fuck you.
Fergus: Okay.
3. Interior view, farm house, at night
Jody was dragged in and tied to a chair. Maguire, a thin man talking to him through his mask.
Maguire: The situation is simple. You are now a hostage of the Irish Republican Army. We have notified your boss that if one of the three people who went on a hunger strike in Keshi Prison dies, you will be dead. Things get better, and you will become our guest. Do you have anything to say?
His face was expressionless under the mask.
Fergus: Give him a cup of tea.
Maguire: Do you want a cup of tea?
Jody remained speechless. (Fading)
Everyone is drinking tea. The blonde woman came in with a plate of food.
Fergus: See if he wants.
Joan: Would you like something to eat?
Jody sat like a dead man without saying a word. (Fading) In the
night, the men started playing cards and drinking whiskey.
Fergus: Do you want him alive?
Maguire took a sip from a toast.
Fergus: Ask him if he wants something to eat.
Maguire: Ask him.
Fergus approached Jodi.
Fergus: Hey soldier, what do you want?
The blindfolded head didn't move at all. (Gradually) It's getting
dark, and everyone else has fallen asleep. Fergus sat leaning on a chair with a gun in his hand, guarding his prisoner. Joan came in with a flashlight.
Fergus: Hello, Joan, what does he like?
Joan: Lecherous bastard.
Fergus: Did you give it to him?
Joan: There are some things I will not do for the motherland.
Fergus: But you did it for me.
Joan: Yeah, Fergus, just for you.
She pointed the flashlight at Fergus's face and shone it at Jody, who remained motionless in the dark.
Fergus: Take a look at him.
Joan: No way.
Fergus: Poke him to see if he is still alive.
Joan: He's all right.
Fergus: Nothing happened for 12 hours.
She took another picture of Jodi.
Fergus: Come on, be kind.
She moved towards him and kicked him in the leg first, without moving. She gently lifted her mask and peered inside. Suddenly, the man moved like lightning, turned his head and shook off his mask, and his bound body rushed towards Joan.
Jody: You whore, you bitch!
He threw Joan to the ground with a chair on his back. He mimicked ugly sex movements and twisted on her. Joan screamed and everyone in the room woke up. They took guns one after another, and one of them turned on the light.
Maguire: Turn off the fucking light.
Jody's face is close-up, and he is looking at everyone in front of him.
Maguire: Turn off the light, he was watching—
he shot and smashed the bulb, and the room went back into darkness.
silence. Then Jody laughed.
Jody: I see, I can't forget every face.
4. Location, farm house, morning
This is a hot day in summer. There are tall hedges around the house. Fergus led Jody, who was still tied up and wearing a mask, to a glass conservatory.
5. Interior view, greenhouse,
withered tomato vines and grape vines everywhere in the morning . The glass was incomplete, and sunlight poured in. Fergus placed Jodi on an iron chair and sat down opposite him, with the gun on his lap. He took some sandwiches from the paper pocket and handed one to Jody.
Fergus: How about some food?
Jody: No.
Fergus: What does not mean?
Jody: You can't eat through the canvas pocket.
Fergus lifted the mask up, exposing his mouth, and he stuffed the sandwich into his mouth. Jody chewed slowly.
Jody: This is a farce, man.
Fergus: Why is it a farce?
Jody: I have seen your face.
Fergus: So, what do I look like?
Jody: 6'3, blond, baby face.
Fergus: Is this me?
Jody: Yes, and blue eyes.
Fergus puts the last half of the sandwich into his mouth.
Jody: You look very handsome.
He swallowed the last bite.
Jody: Thank you, beautiful man.
Fergus: You're welcome.
Jody: Compared to you, those people are not as good as shit.
Fergus: I'm sure they will like to listen.
Jody: I will tell them.
There were beads of sweat on his lips.
Jody: Dude, it's hot enough.
Fergus: Really?
Jody: Take off the mask.
Fergus: No way.
Jody: Why not?
Fergus: Command.
Jody: Who gave the order?
Fergus: Boss.
Jody: What is his name?
Fergus: Boss.
6. location, farm house, during the day
Joan came out to the conservatory, carrying a pot of tea, two cups.
7. Interior view, warm room,
it is even more sultry during the day . The mask Jody was wearing was soaked with sweat.
Jody: I can't breathe, man. How about being a saint?
Joan comes in.
Jody: Let him take off his mask, honey.
Joan didn't say a word, she put the tea on the ground.
Fergus: How did you know it was her?
Jody: I can smell her perfume.
Joan just pours the tea.
Joan: Wait, if we take off the mask, we might kill you. Judging from the current situation, you have a 50% chance.
Jody: Because you like me, bitch.
Joan: That's a play on occasion.
Jody: Good girl.
His breathing became harder.
Jody: Dude, please, I'm going to be suffocated.
Fergus: Can't we pick it?
Joan: Let the boss decide.
Fergus handed the gun to Joan.
Fergus: Look at him.
Jody: Don't leave me with her, man. She was dangerous...
Joan smiled and put the gun on her thigh.
8. Interior view, farm house,
Maguire was reading the newspaper during the day , and there was a report on the kidnapping incident.
Maguire: On the front page, now they are moving, these bastards.
Fergus: Please allow the mask to be removed, Peter.
Maguire: Why would you do that?
Fergus: That poor boy brother is going to be smothered to death by this hot day.
Maguire: Seriously?
Fergus: Besides, he has seen our faces.
Maguire: Are you sure?
Fergus: He painted me from head to toe. And he knows what Joan looks like.
Maguire read the newspaper again.
Fergus: Tommy-
Maguire: You are his guard. If you don't mind him seeing you, I have nothing to say.
Fergus: Thank you, Tommy.
Maguire: It's your own decision.
9. interior, conservatory, day
Joan drinking tea, watching Jody braved Rehan. Fergus came in and hugged Joan casually.
Fergus: I looked at him, Joan.
Joan: That couldn't be better.
Joan turned and walked out. Fergus slowly took off the mask for Jody. Jody raised his head, his face dripping with sweat, and he gasped for breath.
Jody (laughing): Thank you, soldier.
Fergus responded with a smile.
Jody: I never thought that fresh air would have such a good taste.
Fergus poured a cup of tea and brought it to his mouth.
Jody: If you untie the rope, I can drink myself.
Fergus: Don't even think about it.
Jody: Just kidding. You know I made a mistake.
Fergus: What's wrong?
Jody: 6-foot-3, blond and blue eyes. But you are not a handsome man.
Fergus: Isn't it?
Jody: No. Not pretty at all.
Fergus: Do you want to spoil my emotions?
Jody: No. This is a fact.
Fergus: Well, I can say that to you too.
Jody: Can you?
Fergus: But I don't want to say. We are more polite in these respects.
Jody: I have noticed.
Jody didn't laugh anymore, he watched Fergus drink tea and fiddle with the gun on his knee.
Jody: You will have to do that, right?
Fergus: What do you do?
Jody: Kill me.
Fergus: What makes you think this way?
Jody: If they take that guy's life, you will kill me.
Fergus: They won't want him to die.
Jody: Do you want to bet?
Fergus: I am not a gambler.
Jody: Even if he doesn't die, you won't let me go.
Fergus: Why not?
Jody: It's not your nature.
Fergus: How do you understand my nature?
Jody: I'm talking about your people, not about you.
Fergus: How the hell do you know my people?
Jody: Had it not been for your stubborn bastards, it would have been your nature to let me go.
Fergus: Stop it, okay?
Jody: Do you know that funny thing?
Fergus: Which interesting fact?
Jody: I don't like her at all.
Fergus: Don't look at me like that...
Jody: She's not my type. I have something to show you.
Fergus: What?
Jody: In my inner pocket.
Fergus was holding a gun and put a hand into his inner pocket.
Jody: Take out the wallet and open it.
Close up of wallet. Credit card and military photo.
Jody: Inside, there is a photo.
Fergus took out a photo, and Jody in a white cricket uniform was throwing the ball in a spring breeze, Fergus laughed.
Jody: No, not this one. There is one more.
Fergus drew another one. A beautiful black woman sitting in the bar.
Jody: She is the type I like.
Fergus: She is the type that everyone likes.
Jody: You fucking think so.
Fergus: Why not?
Jody: She is mine. Anyway, she is not for you.
Fergus: Isn't it suitable?
Jody: Absolutely not.
Fergus: Is she your wife?
Jody: Guess you would say that.
Fergus: You are a natural pair.
Jody: Don’t I know?
Fergus: Then why do you bother with flowers and butterflies?
Jody: You fucking set off. That bitch...
Fergus, she's a friend of mine...
Jody: Oh, that good girl. She met me in the bar. I'm complaining that there is nothing to do here. She offered me a drink and grabbed my hand. I looked at her and said I don't like you bitch. But fucking, maybe I'll get the hang of it.
Fergus: What?
Jody: What the hell am I doing here?
Fergus: What the hell are you doing here?
Jody: I am dispatched.
Fergus: You can not come.
Jody: No, I signed the contract.
Fergus: Why are you signing a contract?
Jody: This is work. So I was sent to the only place in the world that called you a nigger in front of you.
Fergus: Don't take it against you.
Jody (in Belfast accent): Go back to your banana tree, nigger. It's no use telling them I'm from Tottenham.
Fergus: Do you play cricket?
Jody: The best sport in the world.
Fergus: Have you seen Irish hockey?
Jody: Is it the kind of sport where a group of Irish people beat each other with sticks?
Fergus: The best sport in the world.
Jody: Not really.
Fergus: The fastest.
Jody: In St. Kitt, cricket is a black sport. Children start playing at the age of 2. When I was 5 years old, my dad taught me to throw curveballs. Later we moved to Tottenham and things changed.
Fergus: How is it different?
Jody: Cricket there is a sport for the rich, and it is not played at home. So when you Yankee shot me, don't forget that you are killing a good pitcher.
Fergus: I will remember it in my heart. By the way, to remind you, it's not the Yankee, it's Fergus.
Jody (laughing): Nice to meet you, Fergus.
Fergus: I am also honored, Jody.
10. Interior view, conservatory, Ye
Jodi fell asleep. Fergus is still watching him. Suddenly, Jody woke up, panting.
Fergus: What's the matter?
Jody: I had a dream.
Fergus: Nightmare?
Jody: I dreamed that you had to shoot me, and you didn’t want to. Your hand was trembling. You knocked out one of my ears. I fell to the ground. You shot again and knocked me out. One ear. I said please aim more accurately, if you want to be my friend, aim more. And you picked up my two ears and said you couldn't aim.
Fergus: I will not kill you.
Jody: Oh, you will. As long as you aim some.
Fergus: Sleep with you, okay?
Jody: No way. I want to urinate.
11. Location, farm house, Ye
Fergus leads Jody to a simple toilet.
Jody: Untie my hand.
Fergus: No way.
Jody: Then you plan to take out that stuff for me, right?
Fergus looked at him in the dark.
Jody: Come on, man, I'm going to pee my pants.
Fergus pushed him around and opened the zipper for him.
Jody: Take it out for me, man, I'm almost suffocated.
Fergus had no choice but to do so.
Jody: I have to lean forward, or I'll pee all over my body, grab my hand.
Fergus grabbed his hand from behind. Jody's former servant's posture vented quickly.
Jody: It seems worth it to make you wait.
Fergus: Hurry up, okay?
Jody: These things take time, Fergus.
He shook his body.
Jody: It's amazing, these sections are so important...put them in for me.
Fergus: Wait.
Jody: This is just a piece of meat for sex.
Fergus put it in for him.
Jody: Nothing serious.
Fergus put the lock on him.
Jody: Two years ago, I got the flower willow disease. Ulster syphilis. But I feel quite comfortable.
Fergus: Shut up, okay?
Jody: Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you.
Fergus led him back to the greenhouse.
12. Interior view, conservatory, night
Jody: Fergus?
Fergus: Huh?
Jody: Thank you. I know it is not easy for you.
He started to laugh.
Fergus: It's what I should do.
He also laughed, but he didn't know why.
13. Location, farmhouse, Ye
Maguire was awakened by laughter, and he walked out of the house.
14. Interior view, greenhouse, Ye
Jodi was still laughing, suddenly his face mask covered his head.
Maguire stood in the dark, staring at Fergus.
Maguire: What the fuck is going on?
Jody: It's okay, buddy. He was peeing for me...
Maguire: What's the matter, Hannech?
Fergus: It's okay. He has a sense of humor, nothing more.
Maguire: You are on a mission, Hannech. Take care of your mouth, sir.
Fergus: Yes, sir.
Maguire: Go into the house and sleep for a while.
Fergus got up slowly and walked to the door.
Jody: Yeah, get some sleep.
15. Location, farm house, Ye
Fergus walked and looked back. He saw Maguire and Jody in the dark, all around him as silent as death.
16. Interior view, farm house, night
Fergus fell asleep.
17.Interior view, greenhouse, Ye
Jodi is also asleep, and it's Maguire's turn to watch him with a gun.
18. Outdoor scenes, farm houses and fields, during the day the
sun lazily climbed up from behind the hillside surrounding the farm houses.
19. Interior view, greenhouse, during the day
Fergus takes a tray and some come in early. Maguire sat still like a wood.
Fergus: Did he speak?
Maguire shook his head.
Fergus: Didn't he make you laugh?
Maguire still shook his head.
Fergus: Yes. Eat early.
He handed Maguire a plate. At this time, Jody woke up.
Jody: Is it you, Fergus?
Fergus: Yes.
Maguire glared at Fergus.
Maguire: So, he knows your name.
Fergus: I told him.
Maguire: You are fucking crazy, Hannech.
He got up and dragged Fergus out of the door.
Maguire: You shouldn't have any contact with the prisoner, did you hear what I said?
Fergus: I heard it.
Maguire: Do you know why?
Fergus: Why, sir?
Maguire: Because one of us might be going to kill him tomorrow, that's why. Our people will not survive this night.
Fergus: Who will perform this task?
Maguire: I have to think about it.
20. Interior view, conservatory,
where Jodi sits wearing a mask during the day .
Jody: They are causing you trouble, Fergus?
Fergus didn't say a word, he brought him a plate earlier.
Jody: Unsurprisingly, you see, there are two kinds of people, one who gives and the other takes.
Fergus pulled the mask upwards, revealing Jodi's mouth, and he began to feed Jodi.
Jody: Take that thing away, man.
Fergus didn't say anything, just fed him.
Jody: Okay, I get it. If I say something that doesn't make sense, don't mind, okay?
Fergus shook his head and said nothing.
Jody: If you don't say anything, I assume you don't mind.
Fergus continued to feed him.
Jody: Two types of Fergus. Scorpion and frog. have you heard of it?
Fergus remained silent.
Jody: Scorpion wants to cross the river, but he can't swim. Run to ask the frog if he can carry it on his back. The frog said, if I carry you on my back, you will sting me. The scorpion replied, I won't sting you, because in that case, I would drown. The frog thought for a while, and agreed. It launched into the water with a scorpion on its back, swimming forward in the rapids. For a while, it felt a scorching heat on its back, and realized that the scorpion had stung itself. They both sank to the bottom, and the frog cried—why did you sting me, Mr. Scorpion, now we are all drowning. Scorpion replied, I can't help it, this is my nature.
He was gasping under the mask.
Jody: How ridiculous, isn't it. Fergus? This is my nature.
Fergus: What does it mean?
Jody: The meaning is obvious. The nature of the scorpion dictates it. Take off your mask, man.
Fergus: Why?
Jody: Because of your kindness. This is your nature.
Fergus stepped forward and took off his mask. Jody smiled at him.
Jody: Understood? I think you are very accurate.
Fergus: Don't be too confident.
Jody: Jody is always correct. Give me some toast, man.
21. Interior view, warm room, the
heat in the afternoon makes people drowsy.
Jody: Where do you want to stay most now?
Fergus: It doesn't matter where.
Jody: Don't mind, man. If it's all over.
Fergus: Have a big glass at Crown Restaurant.
Jody: You lack imagination, Fergus. Think about something more tempting.
Fergus: Like what?
Jody: Like having a drink at the Duck Bar...
Fergus laughed.
Fergus: Have two big glasses at the Crown Restaurant.
Jody: Have a drink at the Duck Duck Bar, Dale is having a Margarita.
Fergus: Who is Dale?
Jody: A special friend of mine.
Fergus: Oh, yes.
Jody: Our taste is single, you and me.
Fergus: But the best.
Jody: But you always can't rest, right?
Fergus: How about you?
Jody: Oh, yes. We performed the task, and we completed it. And you guys can never finish it, right?
Fergus: We won't stand on the sidelines like this.
Jody: I often wonder how you do it.
Fergus: It all depends on your faith.
Jody: What do you believe in?
Fergus: You guys shouldn't stay here.
Jody: Is it that simple?
Fergus: Yes.
Jody: But you can't finish 18 months and then get your pension, can you? You have to work until you are killed or locked up in jail for 18 years...
Fergus: Sometimes that's the case.
Jody: I am worried about you, Fergus.
Fergus: Why?
Jody: I think you have a future...
Fergus: Thank you for your kindness.
Jody: One wife and two sons, or a couple of wives with no children.
Fergus: Shut up, Jody.
Jody: You mean you don't want to have a future?
Fergus: I want my country to have a future.
Joan came in.
Joan: Cover him with that thing, Fergus.
Fergus: He is very hot.
Joan: What does it matter that he is hot? Get fucking blindfolded.
Jody: You have no feelings, girl.
Joan: Look for a smoker.
She pulled the mask.
Joan: You are looking for trouble, Fergus.
Fergus: I'm sorry.
Jody: He is a good soldier, Joan.
Joan: I said shut your mouth.
Jody: He believes in the future...
She hit him hard with a pistol.
Joan: Don't fucking talk to him, Fergus.
22. Interior view, conservatory, Ye
Jodi was sitting with a face mask, blood flowing from inside to his neck.
Fergus: Is it bad?
Jody: No, it's okay. Women are a disaster, do you know, Fergus?
Fergus: I don't know.
Jody: A certain kind of woman...
Fergus: She is beautiful.
Jody (laughing): Dale is not a trouble, not at all.
Fergus: Have you liked her?
Jody: Please use the present tense. I love her. No matter what she is. I'm thinking of her right now, Fergus, are you thinking of her too?
Fergus: I don't know her.
Jody: I want to ask you to do something, Fergus.
Fergus: What's the matter?
Jody: If they kill me...
Fergus: Don't think so.
Jody: But they will. It must be either tonight or tomorrow. They had to do it. I want you to find her. Tell her I have been missing her.
Fergus was moved, he couldn't answer.
Jody: See if she is OK.
Fergus: I don't know her.
Jody: Take her picture. come over.
Fergus leaned close to him.
Jody: Take it. Sit in the inside pocket.
When Fergus took the photo, their faces stuck together.
Jody: Take them all, I don't need them anymore.
Fergus: I told you not to say that...
Jody: Go to Millie's Hair House in Kansal Heights. She works there. Take her to Tottenham Park to watch a cricket match. Don't tell her who you are. Just tell her that Jody was thinking...
Fergus: Stop... the
door opened. Maguire walked in with another person.
Maguire:
Hannech - Fergus: Yes, sir.
Maguire: Come here.
Fergus got up, walked backwards to the door, keeping his eyes on Jody. The man who had come in with Maguire sat in his chair. Fergus put Jodi's money in his pocket with his back to Maguire.
23. Interior view, farm house,
Yemaguire: Our man entered the intensive care unit, he can't hold it tonight, you will end this matter early tomorrow morning.
Fergus: Me?
Maguire: Yes, you, volunteer Fergus Hannech. Any objections?
Fergus did not speak.
Maguire: Very good. These days, I am always worried for you.
Joan: You are not the only one...
Maguire: Shut up, Joan. You better get some sleep tonight, Fergus.
Fergus still stood silently.
Maguire: Fergus, go to sleep.
Fergus: Peter.
Maguire: What?
Fergus: Please let me guard the prisoner tonight.
Joan: Are you fucking crazy? Don't promise him, Peter.
Maguire: I said shut up, Joan!
He put his arm on Fergus' shoulder.
Maguire: Why do you want to do that?
Fergus: That would make me feel better.
Maguire: Are you sure you want to do that?
Fergus: I am sure.
Maguire: Okay. You are a good boy, Fergus.
24. Interior view, conservatory, night
Fergus comes in.
Fergus: Give him to me, Jimmy.
Jimmy looked up at him suspiciously. Fergus made a go out gesture, and Jimmy got up and left. Fergus sat down, and the two were silent for a while.
Jody: Can't sleep.
Fergus: Relax.
Jody: No, I don't want to sleep. (Interval) There is bad news, right?
Fergus: Not yet.
Jody: What does not mean yet?
Fergus: That guy can't hold it tonight.
Jody: I feel bad for him.
Fergus: You are very kind.
Jody: Sounds ridiculous?
Fergus: I don't know.
Jody started laughing under the mask. The laughter suddenly turned into weeping.
Fergus: Don't do that.
Jody: I'm sorry.
He stopped crying.
Jody: Help me.
Fergus: How can I help you?
Jody: I don't know. Just help me. give me a cigarette.
Fergus took out a cigarette, lit it, pulled up the mask, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Jody: I don't smoke at all, you know? Just be like others.
Fergus: Go to bed now.
Jody: I don't want to sleep, tell me something.
Fergus: What?
Jody: The story.
Fergus: A story about frogs?
Jody: And Scorpion. No, you can tell me anything.
Fergus: When I was a kid...
Jody: What?
Fergus: My thoughts were also childlike, but when I became a man, I abandoned childish things-
Jody: What do you mean?
Fergus: It's not interesting.
Jody: Tell me about it, anything is fine.
Fergus: When I was a kid, my uncle had a playground in Monaghan. I often swing for free.
Jody: Anything else?
Fergus: Only at the end of every day when there is almost no one. This way I can swing until the sun goes down.
Jody: Anything else?
Fergus: Nothing. It's over. That was a happy time for me.
Jody: Is this your story?
Fergus: Yes.
Jody: It's not very useful. What do you say, Fergus?
Fergus: Me? Yes, I'm not very good at...
Fergus' eyes are moist.
25. Outdoor scenes, fields, morning
mist shrouded the farm house. The red sun is faintly visible.
26. Exterior view, conservatory,
Fergus and Maguire are standing next to the conservatory in the morning . Fergus has a gun in his hand and he is checking the barrel.
27. Interior view, greenhouse,
Fergus comes in in the morning , and he takes Jody's arm.
Fergus: Come on.
Jody got up. Fergus led him out and passed in front of Maguire.
Maguire: In the name of the Irish Republican Army...
Fergus turned around abruptly.
Fergus: Forget these words.
He took Jody to the woods.
28. Location, woods, in the morning
Fergus walked through the bushes with his gun against Jodi.
Jody: Take off the mask, Fergus.
Fergus: No.
Jody: I want to take one last look. please.
Fergus pulled on his mask, and Jody looked around, a scar on his lips after being hit by Joan.
Jody: What a lovely country!
Fergus: Yes.
Fergus stabbed him with a gun, and Jody staggered forward. Fergus looked ruthless and loyal to his duties.
Jody: I'm glad you came here, you know, Fergus?
Fergus: Why?
Jody: Because I want you to go to the Duck Bar...
Fergus: Don't talk about that now.
Jody: Irish hockey is a fast sport, right, Fergus?
Fergus: The fastest.
Jody: Is it faster than cricket?
Fergus: What is cricket.
Jody: So, can you catch me if I run?
Fergus: Don't you want to run.
Jody: But if I run...you wouldn't shoot a brother in the back.
Before he finished his words, he suddenly ran like a hare, ignoring that his hands were still tied behind him.
Fergus (angrily): Jody!
He raised his gun to aim, then changed his mind again and started chasing him.
Fergus: You idiot bastard—
Jody: What are you talking about, Scud?
Fergus: I said you were a bastard—stop—
Jody: Hold me and talk.
Fergus almost caught up with him. He stretched out his arms to catch him, but Jody accelerated a few steps and threw him away again, looking like he was playing with Fergus.
Jody: You know that I practiced long-distance running and ran four laps around the cricket field. What is the name of that sport?
Fergus: Irish hockey.
Jody: What?
Fergus: Irish hockey.
Jody: Come on, Fergus—you can—take a deep breath—
Fergus grabbed his shoulder and got rid of him again.
Jody: Is it fun, Fergus, eh?
He ran up an asphalt road and stopped in the middle of the road. He turned and smiled at Fergus, who was gasping in the woods.
Jody: Tell you I run fast.
Fergus panted, and he turned on the trigger of the pistol.
Jody: Don’t shoot, buddy—
just then, an armored car drove up and slammed into Jody’s body, lifted his huge body in the air, and then fell heavily on the road. The armored car did not stop, and the fender took Jodi's body several meters away.
Fergus: No—
he wanted to rush over. Suddenly a group of heavily armed soldiers jumped off the armored car. Fergus quickly turned around and ran, and there was a lot of gunfire behind him.
29. Location, woods,
Fergus ran wildly among the trees during the day .
30. Interior view, conservatory,
Jimmy sits in it during the day . Suddenly, he saw a helicopter above his head, and the machine gun fired at him. In an instant, the conservatory was torn apart and turned into a sea of flames.
31. Interior view, farm house.
Bullets roared in from the window during the day , tearing the wooden wall through cracks. Maguire, Joan and their comrades lie on the floor, vying to get guns.
32. Location, woods,
Fergus was still running during the day , and fierce gunfire came from his ears. He changed direction, jumped into a stream, waded forward, and his figure gradually disappeared among the trees.
33. Location, the playground on the border of Monaghan
. There is a sloping boat on the empty field at dawn , and one of them is dangling leisurely.
An old man came out of the house carrying a bucket. As he passed between the two boats, one hand stretched out to hold him. Fergus jumped out of the boat. The old man embraced him.
34. Interior view, simple board room, the
old man pours whiskey into the tea cup during the day .
Tommy: Don't sleep with a butcher knife, Fergus.
Fergus: Oh, it sucks, Tommy.
Tommy: They took my passport in Straban.
Fergus: Dog bastard.
Tommy: No one does his job.
Fergus: How's the business?
Tommy: Good or bad. Now children want to play video games. Can't afford them.
Fergus: Then you should retire, Tommy.
Tommy: No. It is you who should retire.
He looked at Fergus and lit a cigarette.
Tommy: You will notice that I didn't ask you anything.
Fergus: That's wise, Tommy.
Tommy: Well, I like to be wise.
He added wine to Fergus' glass.
Tommy: So, what do you need, Fergus?
Fergus: Need to cross the sea.
Tommy: Now?
Fergus: Need to forget about yourself for a while.
Tommy: Aha.
He snorted.
Tommy: I know a man who uses a boat to transport cattle to London.
35. Location, ferry,
trucks carrying cattle during the day are on the ferry.
36. Interior view, truck,
Fergus sitting curled up among the herd during the day .
37. Exterior view, Dublin Bay, at night the
ferry sails in the direction of sunset. The screen is getting darker.
38. Interior view, construction site, during the day,
a beautifully furnished Georgian-style empty room gradually appeared, dusty. Someone in the dust is breaking the wall with a drill gun. This is Fergus. He is wearing work clothes and a mask. He is prying off the bricks on the wall. He worked hard, like a machine.
Soon, a big hole appeared in the wall. Fergus took off his mask. He had short hair. Looking out from the hole, there is a green cricket court downstairs, and a few noble boys are playing cricket.
39. Interior view, Fergus' apartment. During the day,
he put on a coat, looking like a countryman who came to work in a big city.
40. Location, street, during the day
he shuttled among the passing crowd. There is a sign not far away-Millie Hair House. He walked in.
41. Interior view, hair room,
Fergus comes in during the day , and a woman wearing a coat wants to stop him.
Woman: We are closed.
Fergus didn't talk to each other, and looked towards the corner of the window. There was a black girl sitting on a chair there. She had a nice face and a slender figure. Her slender hands were painted with long purple nails, and her hair style was as unique as her nails. She is the girl in Jody's picture-Del.
Delil turned around. Fergus stared at her, still speechless.
Dai Er: Did you lose your tongue or what?
Fergus: I want to fix my hair...
Dale looked at her watch and pinched out the cigarette in her hand.
Deer: Come on...
She told Fergus to sit down and fiddled with his hair.
Dai Er: The ends of the hair are split.
Fergus: What tip?
Dai Er: The tips of your hair.
Fergus looked at her purple nails and her face, and when he met her gaze, he quickly avoided.
Dai Er: Tilt your head back.
She pushed his head into the basin and combed his hair while washing.
Dai Er: Someone recommend this to you?
Fergus: You can say so.
Dai Er: Who?
Fergus: My colleague.
Dai Er: What is his name?
Fergus didn't know how to answer. The hands with purple nails were massaging his scalp.
Fergus: Water won't damage your nails, will it?
Dai Er: What does it have to do with you?
Fergus: Nothing.
Dai Er: Sit up.
Fergus sat up obediently.
Dai Er: Now tell me what you want to do.
Fergus: Cut the back and sides shorter.
Dai'er smiled, her laughter sounded like a string of silver bells.
Fergus: What did I say wrong?
Dai Er: We are not bad hairdressers, you know.
Fergus: Then I will leave it to you.
Dai Er: Yes, leave it to me.
She moved the scissors.
Dai Er: Are you American?
Fergus: No.
Deer: You are not from England.
Fergus: Yes.
Dale: The Scotsman
Fergus: How do you know?
Dai Er: Guessed from your accent.
Fergus: How is my accent?
Dai Er: Like honey.
The clock in the mirror showed that it was half past six. Deer straightened Fergus' head, and Fergus is now the style of London stockbrokers. At this moment, except for the two of them, there is no one in the room.
Dai Er: She should be happy now.
Fergus: Who is she?
Dai Er: I don't know. who is she?
42. Location, hair room,
Fergus came out late in the evening , he looked in from the window, and Dale was taking off his work clothes and arranging his hair, as if he had already forgotten him. He walked a few steps forward with the crowd, and ducked into a corner.
Delil came out of the shop. She changed her dress, high heels and miniskirt, showing her slender legs. She locked the door and walked down the street. Fergus followed her like a shadow. A few big characters were reflected in the neon lights right in front-Metropolis Bar. Delil pushed the door in.
43. Interior view, bar,
people working at night fill the bar half-full. Dai'er walked through the crowd and could see that she was a frequent visitor here. Fergus also followed up. He avoided Dell's sight and took a seat in front of the bar. Two or three seats apart, there was a glass of drink alone and a small pink umbrella on the top of the cup. The hostess in the bar was lazily scrubbing the cups, and there was a mirror behind him. Through the mirror, Fergus saw Delly talking loudly with two men.
Hostess: What to drink?
Fergus: Guinness beer.
The barman opened the bottle cap for him. Fergus watched Dale throw away the two people and came to the bar. She sat on the seat of the drink with the small umbrella, looking through the mirror to meet Fergus. Fergus quickly looked away. Dai'er smiled and talked to the hostess.
Dale: Did you see that, Cole?
Cole: What are you looking at, Del?
Dai Er: He glanced at me.
Cole: Is he?
Fergus' face flushed to the root of his ears, and he buried his head to drink.
Dai Er: I just straightened his hair out, you know.
Cole: Really?
Dai Er: What do you think?
Cole: Not bad.
Fergus glanced at her again. She turned her face away, but she was still looking at him in the mirror.
Dai Er: Look! He looked again.
Cole: I see you.
Dai Er: What do you call it?
Cole: An affectionate glance.
Dai Er: Let him ask me what I drink.
The hostess leaned towards Fergus impatiently.
Cole: She wants to know if you want to know what she drinks.
As soon as Fergus wanted to speak, she spoke first.
Dai Er: Long Island Iced Tea.
The barman adjusted a glass and handed it to her. She stared at Fergus in the mirror, who was trying to avoid her gaze.
Dai Er: Now he can watch it.
The hostess handed Fergus a bill, and Fergus was still avoiding her eyes while paying.
Dale: Do you like his hairstyle, Cole?
Cole: She wants to know if you like your hairstyle, sir.
Fergus: Tell her I like it very much.
Dale: He is a Scot, Cole.
Cole: Scotsman?
Fergus: Yes.
Dale: What did he say, Cole?
Cole: He said yes.
Dai Er: What do you think his name is?
Cole: I have no interest in that.
Fergus: Jimmy.
Dale: Jimmy?
Cole: That's what he said, Jimmy.
Dale: Hello, Jimmy.
Fergus: Hello, Dale.
Dell: How does he know my name, Cole?
Fergus became shy.
Cole: I don't understand. How did you know?
Fergus: It says on her breastplate when she gave me a haircut.
Cole: That's it.
A burly man in a white coat sat down beside Dai'er, and put his hand on her knee.
Strong man: Sing that song, Dai Er.
She threw the hand away.
Dale: Get out, Dave.
She turned to Fergus and found that his seat was no longer available.
44. Location, bar, night
Fergus was standing across the street from the bar, sweating profusely. Delil came out from the inside, she looked this way, as if looking for Fergus. Fergus retreated into the shadows. Dave came out too, and he grabbed her arm. She pushed him away and walked forward. Dave followed and took her elbow again. This situation is like an old-fashioned quarrel scene. Dave suddenly opened his big hand and slapped her, and Delil leaned her head against the wall. Then, Dave put his arms around her to comfort her.
45. Location, street, night
Dave walked along the street with her arms around. The street is in dilapidated condition, with old and gray buildings on both sides. They stopped in front of a door, and Dell took out the key from her wallet to open the door, and then they walked in together. Fergus stood there, watching. The light in the room upstairs is on. Delil walked in and pulled down the curtains. Through the shadow on the curtains, you can see that Dave took off Dai's shirt, and when he did this, Dai's stood motionless. Fergus took a few steps back, then walked away.
46. Interior view, small hotel, night
public bathroom, Fergus is washing his face, he looks at himself in the mirror. A man came in, took off the dentures from his mouth, and started scrubbing with a toothbrush under the faucet.
Man: Did you see my brother?
Fergus shook his head.
Man: Tell him not to use my toothbrush.
Fergus nodded, seeming to understand him completely. He went out. The hallway was dark and narrow. He took out the key and opened the door to his room. He was lying on the bed, only the street lamp illuminating his room. He took out his wallet and watched the photo of Dai'er with the soldier.
47. (Fergus' hallucinations) Location, cricket court. During the day,
Jodi ran towards the camera in slow motion and threw the ball in his hands vigorously.
48. Location, construction site,
Fergus was drilling the wall during the day . He vented his inexplicable anger and pried off a whole wall brick. The cricketers in the distance disappeared without a trace in the flying dust.
49. Exterior scene, hair house, Ye
Fergus passes by the hair house and walks to the bar. There was ear-splitting music inside, and a sturdy man in a poor-quality uniform stood by the door.
50. Interior view, city bar, night
The place is now overcrowded, with blacks, whites, hippies and street homeless people mostly wearing leather clothes. All women wear heavy makeup. Someone sang on a small stage, surrounded by cheesy lights. Fergus walked through the crowd and walked to the bar. He looked over the head, but didn't see her. Cole looked at him and was amused.
Cole: So, we can treat you as a regular visitor, sir?
Fergus: That is good or bad.
Cole: Well, you should say have a glass as usual, Cole. Something like this.
He pushed a colorful cocktail with a small Japanese umbrella in front of him.
Cole: Let's call it the same.
Fergus: Thank you.
He tried to pretend that he was familiar with the drink, implying that he knew the rules here. He raised the cup to his mouth, but the umbrella got in the way.
Cole: Take it away, if you want.
Fergus took out the umbrella, held it in one hand, and took the cup with the other.
Cole: You came to see her, right?
Fergus shrugged, he took out a cigarette, and the guy on the left smiled at him.
Cole: I should tell you something. She is-
Fergus: What is she?
Cole looked up at the stage.
Cole: She's on the court.
The lens is aimed at the jukebox. Stylus chose a record, which is a song written by Dave Berry-"The Crying Game".
Fergus looked up. Daier stood by the jukebox, gently swinging her body. She looked slightly drunk, and moved to the song. She is accurate in her words, and the singer's voice is so feminine that she can't tell who is singing. She was doing all kinds of strange movements, as if portraying the light of the moon with her hands. The people present seemed to understand this kind of performance, and they cheered, not knowing whether it was out of praise or mockery. When the song passed, she put one fist into the other hand, and then spread her fingers. Two butterflies flew out from between her fingers and circled the room.
Fergus watched intently.
She was singing, Fergus was watching her. After singing a song, everyone cheered.
Fergus watched her walk towards herself through the crowd, and she sat down beside him, seemingly unaware of him.
Dell: He's still watching, Cole.
Cole: Keep your eyes on.
Dai Er: The advantages of men.
Cole: Excellent quality.
Dai Er: Maybe he wants something.
Cole: I can't ask for it.
Dai Er: Just ask him.
Cole: Ask yourself.
She stared at Fergus in the mirror.
Dai Er: Tell me then.
Fergus said nothing and shrugged.
Dai Er: Everyone wants something.
Fergus: Excluding me.
Dai Er: Excluding you. How weird. How old-fashioned and weird, don’t you think, Cole?
Cole shrugged.
Dai Er: Are you an old-fashioned person?
Fergus: Maybe.
The strong man in the white coat approached her.
Strong man: Bring the money, Dai'er.
Dale: Get out, Dave.
Dave: You fucking swear.
Dai Er: Me?
Dave: Just fuck you.
He suddenly pulled her off the chair and overturned her drink.
Dave: Isn't it you?
He dragged her through the crowd. Fergus watched them dangle in the mirror. Cole glanced at him.
Cole: Everyone has it.
Fergus: So who is he?
Cole: It's someone she should stay away from.
Fergus: Why doesn't she do this?
Cole: It's unpredictable.
Fergus stood up suddenly and walked to the door.
51. Location, bar, night
Fergus out. The janitor is still there, but Dai'er is nowhere to be seen. He walked a few steps, and when he heard a sound coming from the alley, he looked up. In Fergus's subjective shot, Dell pushed Dave away, who then grabbed her and forced her to turn around.
Dave: Don't be like this...
Dale: You heard what I said...
She threw his arm off. The money fell to the ground. She wobbled away from him. He picked up the money and caught up with her.
Dave: Didn't we get the fucking one thousand yuan?
He tried to drag her back.
Dave: Talk, bitch.
Unconsciously they came to Fergus, who just stood there motionless. Delil smiled.
Dai Er: Hello.
Dave: Who is he?
Dale: Jimmy.
Dave: Yeah, that's right.
Dai Er: Maybe.
Dave stared straight at Fergus. Fergus took his wrist and threw him to the ground.
Dai Er: See they made the wrong idea.
Fergus stepped on Dave's neck.
Fergus: What's the matter?
Dai Er: They were all wrong.
Dave: Bitch. Doggy style girl.
Dai Er: It's so beautiful.
Dave grabbed her ankle. She kicked his hand away. Fergus made a little effort at his feet, and he looked at Dale.
Fergus: What should I do?
Dai Er: Stomped off his neck.
Fergus kicked heavier.
Dave: No, don't do that.
Delil leaned over to Dave.
Deer: He will take his feet away slowly, Dave. Then you go home, like a good boy. Did you hear what I said?
Dave: Bitch.
But his tone softened. Fergus moved his foot away. Delil took his arm.
Dai Er: Come on, my dear.
She took Fergus away.
52. Location, Metropolis Bar,
they passed in front of the janitor at night . Fergus looked back. Dave was getting up from the ground, resting his neck in one hand and making a strange angle with the other arm.
Fergus: Are you okay?
Dai Er: Yes, thank you.
Fergus: So what is going on?
Dai Er: He wants me to perform for him.
Fergus: Acting?
Dai Er: You know.
Fergus walked a distance in silence.
Fergus: Are you a prostitute?
Dai'er: My god, my god, no. I am a barber.
Fergus: Tell me something.
Dai Er: Everything?
Fergus: Where did the butterflies in the room come from?
Dai Er: Butterflies?
Fergus: Yes.
Dai Er: Do you want to know how I did it?
Fergus: Yes.
She raised her fist and opened her fingers, but nothing appeared.
Dai Er: No way. This is the secret. Is this all you want to know?
Fergus: So far.
Dai Er: Do you know anything about mental trauma? Makes you hungry.
Fergus: I found it too.
He turned around and saw Dave behind them, his neck supported.
Fergus: He is still there.
Dai Er: Then you can't leave me, can you?
53. Interior, cafe, night
In the sloppy cafe, people coming out of the bar are swallowing greasy food. Dai'er sat there gorging on bacon and eggs. Fergus looked at him from the side.
Dai Er: That's the way it is, he is emotional.
Fergus: I want to know why.
Dai Er: I want something he can't get.
Fergus: What is it?
Dai Er: Some things related to me, I guess.
She finished eating, took out a powder puff, and began to powder the eye circles.
Dai Er: Add some gloss to the eye circles, draw pink lip line to the lips, and add a little blush, you can show off in the gutter. Do you understand me?
Fergus looked at her. He did not understand.
Dai Er: Style, dear, this is what I'm talking about. We must stand out from the crowd in the environment we are in.
After putting on her makeup, she put the napkin between her lips and gently squeezed it.
Dai Er: Take you for example.
Fergus: What do I have?
She looked at him directly and laughed. The effect is like sunrise Dongshan.
Dai Er: You have such wonderful eyes.
She caught his eyes until he looked away. Then she stood up.
Dai Er: But we can't use emotions, can we?
He also got up.
Dai Er: You can take me home.
54. Location, small street,
Fergus stopped in front of a door.
Dai Er: How do you know this is the door?
Fergus: It suits you.
She looked at him teasingly.
Fergus: No, I'm lying. I followed you home last night.
Dai Er: Are you? Why?
Fergus: You have something, I guess.
Dai Er: What can I do?
Fergus: It's not clear yet.
Dai Er: And you want to know.
Fergus didn't answer.
Dai Er: You think I should invite you in, right?
Fergus: I didn't...
Dale: But I'm not cheap. Do you understand? Vulgar but not cheap.
There was a shaking figure on the fence across the street. It was Dave who was holding his neck.
Dave: The fucking bitch who doesn't believe it.
Delil moved her body close to Fergus.
Dai Er: If you kiss me, it will really hurt him.
She tilted her face, Fergus kissed her hastily.
Dai Er: And if you ask me to see you tomorrow, you will really drive him crazy.
Fergus: Where is it?
Delegg: Millie sends her room at half past five.
She went in and closed the door. Fergus stood and saw the light in the top-floor room come on. She drew down the curtain, and the shadow of the figure was reflected on the curtain. She slowly took off her clothes, seeming to realize that he was watching. Fergus turned and walked away.
Dave stood in the middle of the road, his neck supported.
Dave: You are not going to watch it anymore?
Fergus looked at him and turned to the window again.
Dave: Acting for you, bitch. The past is for me.
Fergus turned to him suddenly, and Dave stepped back.
Dave: I don't want to cause trouble...
55. Interior view, small hotel, Ye
Fergus brushing his teeth in the public bathroom. There is a pair of false teeth in the cup next to him. Another man came in, took off the denture, started washing, and put it in the same cup.
56. Location, construction site,
Fergus was cutting the wall during the day the next day . Now the hole in the wall has become bigger. The cricketers are still training under the cool sun. Fergus took a nap and watched the batter hit a ball. He wielded the drill gun to imitate the batter's movements. At this time, a voice interrupted it.
Devereux: So, the Yankee is a cricket fan hobby, huh?
Fergus turned around. Tristram Devereux, a young man in the shape of a young London boy, wearing a three-piece suit, he is the owner of this house. Next to him was the foreman Frank Nome.
Fergus: It's not the Yankee, it's Jim.
Devereux: Jim, Pat (pronounced "Northern"), Mike, what the fuck. I can't remember how.
Fergus immersed himself in work again.
On the cricket court, a cricket player in white clothes and white pants stood alone in a black clothed man, watching the direction of the construction site.
57. Interior
scene , hair room, long push camera during the day : a row of women's heads under a hair dryer. The camera stops on Dale's hands with purple-red nails, these hands are holding a hair dryer blowing her head for a middle-aged woman.
58. Location, hair salon,
Fergus stands outside the hair salon during the day , holding a bunch of flowers in his hands behind his back. He watched Dell's every move through the glass, but she didn't notice him.
59. Interior view, hair room,
Fergus's shadow was reflected on the glass during the day , and both Delly and the barber Jane beside him saw him.
Dai Er: What do you think, dear?
Jane: Where did you find him?
Dai Er: No, he is looking for me.
Jane: I have to try it, Del.
Dai Er: We live in hope.
After she finished her work, she walked through the hair room and greeted each girl, everyone staring at Fergus.
60. Location, the room
, Fergus smiled in full view during the day . He fell on his left and right.
61. Interior view, in the bathroom of the hair house. During the day,
Delta took off her work clothes, took off the plastic bag from the hanger, and took off her coarse cloth skirt, and put on a mini skirt studded with metal pieces. She looked in the mirror and touched up her makeup.
Dai'er: Try it, Dai'er...
62. Location, hair room, daytime
Fergus waited, and Dale showed up.
Dai Er: Look at me again like that.
Fergus: Which one?
Dai Er: You look at me like you are at the Metropolitan Bar.
Fergus didn't understand what she was talking about. He took out the bunch of flowers from behind. She took it over in an acting manner.
Deer: Honey, you don't have to be like this.
She laughed, leaned over to him, and kissed him. One of her feet is hooked back, which is completely traditional and old-fashioned. The girls in the room applauded in unison.
Fergus: Why is this?
Dai Er: They are jealous.
Fergus: Why?
Dai Er: I guess so.
She slung his arm and walked away.
63. Location, park,
they sit on park benches during the day . Drunks and tramps lie on the grass. As the sun sets, an eastern man worships Mecca, the holy place.
Fergus: Who did he pray to?
Dale: Mecca.
Fergus: Where is that?
Dai Er: A holy place far away from here.
She pointed in the direction the man was facing.
Dale: Where are you from, Jimmy?
Fergus: I told you, Scotland.
Dai Er: Oh, yes. What's new in Scotland?
Fergus: Nothing.
She sat quietly for a moment.
Dai Er: Now is the time for you to plan to do something, right?
Fergus: What do you say?
Dai Er: It's flirting and flattering. Is it not?
Fergus: In one word.
But he sat still. The man finished his prayer and rolled up the cushion.
Dai Er: Do you know why? Watching others pray always makes me hungry.
64. Interior view, Chinese restaurant, Ye
Dai'er is still eating fiercely. Fergus looked at her, barely touching his plate.
Dai Er: The fact that you didn't please me is either good or bad.
Fergus: So which one is it?
Dai Er: Very bad, I assert. Experience tells me a truth. No matter how bad things are, they can always get better.
She took a sip of her drink.
Dai Er: Now you are going to ask me about myself.
Fergus: Tell me about you.
Dai Er: No, tell me about you.
Fergus: I demolished the house in Oakley Park.
Dai Er: Where is that place?
Fergus: Behind the Klapham subway station, I was prying bricks while watching them play cricket.
Deer: Cricket?
Fergus: Yes, cricket.
He reached out to touch her hand.
Dai Er: Ah, I'm wondering when you want to do this.
She held his hand with her fingers.
Fergus: Tell me.
Dai Er: There is nothing to say. I stayed with that bastard for a while, and now it's gone.
Fergus: How about before?
Dai Er: What do you mean?
Fergus: Is there another bastard?
Dai Er: Another bastard? No.
Fergus: Maybe there is someone who is not a bastard.
Dai Er: Maybe.
She looked at him intently.
Dai Er: Stop talking about that.
Fergus: Why not?
Dai Er: Because it makes me uneasy.
She took his hand and put his finger to her mouth.
Dai Er: What do you want now?
Fergus: Don't think about anything.
Dai Er: Not really, you came to me.
Fergus: I saw you in the bar.
Dai Er: You took a look at me. If you want something, you will only ask me to do that. If you want what he wants.
Fergus: Who?
Dai Er: A person who is not a bastard.
She stared at him.
Dai Er: You know I have my fantasy. I not only cut my hair, but sing in the bar. When I meet someone who looks somewhat good, I have my illusions again. Then tell me you don't want anything.
Fergus: I don't want anything.
Dai Er: I'm afraid you say that.
She grinned.
Fergus: I'm sorry.
65. Location, street, night
they walked towards her residence.
Dale: Do you have a special friend, Jimmy?
Fergus: How special?
Dai Er: Do you want one?
Suddenly a car rushed towards them, and the headlights flashed. Fergus quickly pulled her onto the sidewalk.
Dai Er: God.
The car made a 180-degree turn in the middle of the road, and stopped abruptly, with the lights on them.
Fergus: Is that Dave?
He walked to her door.
Dai Er: A girl must endure this kind of thing.
She looked at the car.
Dale: I'm afraid, Jimmy, it's not like him.
Fergus looked at the car lights. She came in.
Dai Er: Come up with me, okay?
66. Interior view, room, Ye
Dai'er walked in from the darkness. She covered the headscarf on the lamp and turned on the lamp. The room was illuminated by red light. Fergus stood at the door like a shadow.
Dai Er: Come in, no one will harm you.
Fergus walked in slowly. He looked around the room. Everything here has a strong femininity.
Dai Er: Do you want something to drink?
Fergus nodded. She walked into a small kitchen. Fergus saw a picture of the soldier in the frame. The camera moved to the soldier's smiling face, and then to Fergus's face. The sound from outside interrupted his contemplation. He looked out the window, Dave with a brace around his neck was standing downstairs. At this moment, Dai Er came over with two drinks.
Fergus: Someone is outside.
Delil closed the curtains.
Dale: Fuck God.
She circled the room, began to collect things, and opened the windows.
Dai Er: Hey, take your things away!
She threw things down. Men's clothes, leather pants, a suitcase and a teddy bear.
Dave: Listen to me, Dale.
Deer: Of course, Dave.
Dave: Please, Dale.
Fergus' eyes turned from the soldier's photo to the open space downstairs, and Dave was ridiculously holding something in between. Finally, Dai Er picked up a big goldfish bowl and threw it down, pouring water all over Dave. The goldfish bowl fell on a flowerpot and broke into pieces. The goldfish fluttered on the grass.
Dave: I fucking goldfish.
Dai Er: Keep them.
Dave tried his best to pick up the flapping goldfish in his hand. Delil closed the window with a bang.
Dai Er: I'm sorry.
She handed Fergus a cup.
Dai Er: How did he drive with his injured arm?
Fergus: Is it the left arm or the right arm?
Dai Er: I didn't pay attention.
Fergus held the cup and slowly walked around the room. There is a closet with a curtain in the room with clothes hanging in it. He peered in through the curtain and saw a white cricket uniform.
Fergus: He lives here with you.
Dai Er: I tried it. Sit down, okay?
Fergus walked past the picture and sat down. He went to look at the photos again.
Fergus: How is he?
He nodded towards the photo. She looked down at the cup in her hand.
Dai Er: He is not ordinary.
Fergus: Why is it unusual?
Dai Er: As many as it is unusual, it is as unusual as it is.
Fergus: Tell me about him.
Dai Er: No.
She leaned down and put her head on his knees.
Fergus: Should I go now?
Dai Er: No.
They hug each other. She stretched her whole body on top of him. They became passionate and rolled from the sofa to the ground. The photo above seemed to be smiling. He lifted up her clothes with his hands. She broke free suddenly.
Dai Er: No.
Fergus: Did you do anything with him?
She lay on him again, putting her mouth on his ear.
Dai Er: Do you want to know how I kissed him?
Fergus: Yes.
She put her tongue into his ear and spoke softly.
Dai Er: Are you jealous of him?
Fergus: Maybe.
Dai Er: That's great...
She unbuttoned his shirt and slipped her mouth on his chest. Fergus tried to pull her toward him, but she put one hand on his mouth, pushed his head back, and unbuttoned his pants with the other hand. She took out his genitals and put it in her mouth, while her hand stroked his lips. Fergus closed his eyes, sucked on her fingers, and separated them so that he could see the picture of the soldier in which he was still smiling, almost kind and kind. His gaze shifted from the photo to her, she stretched her limbs on top of him, her legs spread apart, looking lewd. He closed his eyes and his body began to tremble. Her fingers stretched stiffly, like the hand of a statue, resting on his lips. They stayed like this for a while before relaxing. Her lips rubbed slowly and gently on his knees. Fergus tilted his head back. There were tears in his eyes.
Fergus: What does he drink?
Dai Er: Can't drink anymore. he died.
Her hand was still stroking his lips.
Dale: In Ireland. He is a soldier and ran there like a fool. Was killed.
Fergus: Do you miss him?
Dai Er: What do you think?
Fergus: I think you will.
Dai Er: You speak like a gentleman.
Fergus: Am I like?
Dai Er: You know it yourself.
She raised her head.
Dai Er: But you can't stay, do you understand?
Fergus: Don't think I'm willing to stay.
Dai Er: A real gentleman...
She hugs him.
Fergus: Shouldn't you grieve?
Dai Er: I will.
She led him to the door.
