Brooklyn (2015) Edit

A building company, the three of us.

A certain kind of girl stay there.

A giddy girl is every bit as evil as a slothful man,

A hundred years, probably.

A lad from Davis's came round.

Afraid that I wouldn't come back?

After the Mass, can I take you somewhere?

Ah, but that's Manhattan.

Ah...

All I can say in his defence is he's the only one of us

All I can say is that it will pass.

All right, up.

All the skysc****rs are across the river.

Also you get a beating.

Although I will admit, God did give Miss McAdam an advantage

Although I'm not sure that that's your name any longer, is it?

Amen.

And because all the cops around here are Irish nobody did anything about it.

And by way of a thank you,

And don't cough, whatever you do.

And don't talk about our kids being Dodgers fans.

And extra turkey for everyone else.

And he found me a job and got me a visa.

And he has a job and he works hard.

And he takes me to Father Flood's dance on Saturdays.

And he's a gentleman.

And he's going to come into a beautiful shop in the market square.

And he's got these wonderful eyes that...

And he's talking about all the things he's gonna say to you.

And her husband bumped into a girl from Enniscorthy

And how do you feel about it?

And I know that means asking you another question

And I like being with you.

And I said that I did.

And I should have told you.

And I showed her the advertisement.

And I think she'd like you to come along

And I want it to be... I don't know.

And I was the only one who would dance with you?

And I'd like to say goodbye now.

And I'll come home to visit, won't I?

And I've never been anywhere.

And if I go out, I go out in Brooklyn.

And if she'd been at the dance last Saturday,

And in a moment I want you to go straight down to your cabin

And is he taking you out to celebrate?

And it has its own entrance.

And live in peace with you in mutual love.

And lock the bathroom door on your side.

And made me try and eat it without making a mess.

And Mom and Dad, they're gonna have one

And most Italian men appreciate a fuller figure.

And my dad, he threatened him,

And now I have a job and...

And only once.

And present it to the first winner.

And she didn't tell anybody.

And she overcharged for everything...

And she's awful.

And some of the men have started to complain,

And some rashers and some cheese.

And that she'll be watching over you every day for the rest of your life.

And that's all you need to know.

And that's not a blazer. It's a sports jacket.

And the bucket.

And the noise she makes is a lot worse.

And the other one,

And the whole of her golf club came, every single one of them.

And then no time at all.

And then when you went to America,

And then you'll catch yourself thinking about something or someone

And there are other things too.

And there'd be telephone cables and electricity, everything.

And there's lots of talk about you and young Jim Farrell.

And there's nothing you can do about it apart from endure it.

And these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty

And those boys with their hair oil and their blazers.

And we do not like politics at the dinner table.

And we study company law too and that terrifies me.

And we're hoping that George Sheridan from the rugby club looks your way.

And what about the skysc****rs?

And what did it say?

And what exactly will they say, Sheila?

And why should she to you awful gossipmongers?

And you can come home.

And you girls are very lucky to be working there.

And you'll realise...

And your mother will have a wonderful day out.

And, well, would you get married again?

And...

Anthony Fiorello and Eilis Lacey.

Anyway, I think that is all my news.

Anyway, Mrs Brady has a niece living in Brooklyn.

Anyway, they probably weren't all Irish.

Anyway, we need Irish girls in Brooklyn.

Anyway, we would describe Mr de Valera as politics,

Anyway...

Apart from you.

Are you asking why I didn't make more of an effort?

Are you here with that guy, the one who was teaching you to dance?

Are you looking forward to your move?

Are you on the early train?

Are you serious?

Are you still there?

Are you trying to trick me?

As long as there's a golf club.

As you can see, it's all a terrible mess.

As you know, her bread wasn't always fresh

At least tell me you'll think about it.

At the city hall

At the parish hall.

At the weekend he took me to see the Brooklyn Dodgers,

Because it looks like you needed it yesterday.

Because Rose is beautiful.

Before Rose died.

Better even maybe.

Black's too dark for your pale skin. Let's see you in the green.

Bless us, oh Lord,

Boom. Oh! Right down the third base line.

But all the land around here has been sold,

But even if your letters were 200 pages, they wouldn't be long enough for your mother.

But home is home.

But I can tell that it might be very.

But I can't afford many of them and I don't like the work, so...

But I can't buy you a future.

But I don't want to bombard you.

But I know what to say now.

But I might be there years.

But I think he's looking forward to causing trouble,

But I thought we were having a different kind of talk.

But I want to tell you everything that's going on.

But I'd like to see London and Paris and Rome. New York.

But I'll never see her again.

But I'm sure you'd all like to show your appreciation

But I've also started to look for office work too.

But it wouldn't feel right sitting up there with Nancy and George.

But my life was back in Ireland with you.

But Nancy told us we wouldn't be allowed to talk to you

But Rose,

But she'd seen Mrs Stapleton in there and she hadn't had a chance

But there's been nobody here to work it all out and to add to the wage slips,

But this is my first year, so I don't know how to judge.

But Tony has helped me to feel that I have a life here

But watch yourself over the summer.

But you can have a bit of fun while you're here, can't you?

But you might want to earn a little money in the meantime.

But you will, and it won't kill you.

But you'd like him.

But you'll come see me there one day?

But you're sensible.

But your life here could be just as good.

Can I go home now?

Can I take you next week,

Can I walk you?

Can I?

Can we get another side of toast, please?

Can we go see a movie this week when you're not in night class?

Can we just talk about something else until we get to Mrs Kehoe's?

Come on, you two.

Come on!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come with us.

Considering she's actually a terrible old witch.

Cooked me some spaghetti

Cos a big gang of Irish beat Maurizio up and he had to get stitches,

Cos I couldn't bear it if...

Cos Ma always wanted a house with a backyard.

Couldn't find proper work at home.

Dear Eilis.

Dear Eilis.

Dear Eilis. Thank you so much for the nylons.

Dear Rose.

Dear Rose. Thank you for your letter.

Dear Tony.

Decided in the Supreme Court in the last 20 years.

Diana?

Did I? I forgot to check.

Didn't like his shoes much.

Do you have a bathing costume?

Do you hear that, Eilis? He's only thinking of you.

Do you know it?

Do you not like the fellas from the rugby club, Eilis?

Do you remember Mrs Brady?

Do you think he might?

Do you try to wear panties every day?

Does he talk about baseball all the time?

Does the Bible tell you that?

Doesn't matter.

Don't be rude or pushy, but don't look too nervous.

Don't ever call her that to her face.

Don't go all quiet on me.

Don't know. I've never eaten it.

Don't look too innocent, though.

Don't the Italians have dances?

Don't worry. The whole boat stinks.

During the busy season.

Eilis has a young man?

Eilis will get that for you now.

Eilis, Father Flood told me about your Christmas plans.

Eilis, from the look of you, you have greasy skin.

Eilis, what's the matter?

Eilis, you're a saint. They smell awful.

Eilis!

Eilis.

Enjoy yourself.

Enniscorthy in County Wexford.

Even First Class. I've just been thrown out of there, by the way.

Even if the first date is a disaster, I'll give it another chance.

Even if you're thinking of inviting me in for a coffee,

Even when I go see the Dodgers,

Excuse my language,

Father Flood in New York arranged it.

Firelighters in August.

For the next available sailing from Cobh to New York.

For you in Enniscorthy, Eilis.

Franco Bartocci says you're doing great here.

Frankie.

Getting a letter of condolence isn't like getting a birthday present, is it?

Girls, you'll take Dolores to the dance with you on Saturday night, won't you?

Go away!

Go on, you can use it.

God alone knows what they live on now.

Good night, Eilis.

Good night, Mammy.

Good.

Grant that those who wear them

Hands.

Has something happened with Jim?

Have they told you a date for the nylon sale yet, Eilis?

Have you come out in disguise, Jim Farrell?

Have your bags ready for inspection.

He asks us every year. We always say no.

He couldn't remember.

He didn't bump into me.

He hasn't!

He isn't as important as Bartocci's and my night classes, I know that,

He just knows all this.

He might be everywhere, but he's certainly not in Bartocci's on sale day.

He needed to do something for mankind and I won't tell you why.

He never mentioned the Dodgers?

He was very upset for a while, but he's over her now.

He'd have to be nice if you married him.

He'll be in that big house on his own.

He's a catch for someone.

He's decent and kind,

He's looked over here twice already.

He's not even reading from a book.

He's not out of the woods yet either, so he can cough up for next year, too.

He's very nice, so don't be too hard on him.

Hello, Eilis.

Hello. I'd like to make a reservation

Hello. It's good to see you.

Hello. Mammy?

Her friends from work, the neighbours, everybody.

Here?

Hey, Eilis. Come here a sec.

Hey, how did you learn to eat spaghetti like that?

Hi.

His parents are moving, you know. They're retiring to the country.

Hold it.

Holy shit.

Homesickness is like most sicknesses.

How are you?

How long do letters from Ireland take to arrive?

How many are we expecting?

How was your evening?

How would it be for you if I did go home?

How'd you manage to arrange all that?

How's your mother?

I came to the Irish dance...

I can hear perfectly well from where I am.

I can see why.

I can work out a system so that whoever comes in after me

I can't bear it, Tony.

I can't believe I'm married to someone you'll never know.

I can't buy you the kind of life you need.

I can't let you just go back to America without saying anything.

I can't really hear you.

I can't remember the last time anyone came in here with good news.

I can't wait for you to show it all to me one day.

I could work every Sunday till I go.

I didn't know that.

I didn't think you were coming.

I didn't. I spent the whole 10 minutes explaining to the lady

I didn't. Someone did it for me. A priest my sister knows.

I do not concentrate on the games.

I don't have Irish parents or grandparents or anything.

I don't know anything about kissing.

I don't know anything.

I don't know what I want you to know.

I don't need to think about it.

I don't think they had bathing suits like that a hundred years ago.

I don't think you'll mind.

I don't want news I can read in a newspaper.

I don't want to be sitting right at the back.

I don't want to have to travel all the way into Manhattan

I don't want you getting me out of bed.

I don't want you to go.

I don't.

I found that out many years ago.

I got a brother the exact same age.

I got married in Brooklyn before I came home.

I got the certificate in America, but the two systems are very similar.

I guess it could seem that way if you was a girl. Listen...

I guess that's true.

I had an interview this week at a textile firm here in Brooklyn.

I had to be somewhere and I'd be back, and she don't wanna let me go.

I hadn't forgotten. Spit it out, whatever it is.

I have thought about you, and I like you.

I haven't been outside since this morning.

I haven't been sick for hours.

I haven't told her to her face.

I heard that you're working over in Davis's,

I hope that you are doing well in Ireland.

I hope you're pleased.

I know it'd make her feel a little better.

I know what that must look like from the outside, but...

I know you like him, Nancy, but he's not Gary Cooper, is he?

I know you would.

I know.

I like working in the shop well enough, but I don't want to be there forever.

I mean, a single word?

I mean, he's nice and he's smart, but he's been talking

I mean, how long have they known about it?

I mean, I don't know anything about book keeping.

I mean, I don't... I don't try. I just put them on.

I mean, I know it doesn't look like much right now,

I mean...

I met somebody. An Italian fella.

I might have said something I shouldn't.

I missed every single thing about Enniscorthy except one.

I need to make this clear.

I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad,

I read that if you don't have them on the beach this year,

I really need your help, Frankie.

I run my father's bar.

I saw The Quiet Man, Eilis. They filmed it in Ireland.

I saw you had a letter today, Diana. Any news?

I see now that giddiness is the eighth deadly sin.

I should have looked after you better.

I should have told you as soon as I got back.

I still miss you and Mother and think about you every day,

I suppose cos I'm going away.

I suppose the most important news is that I have a boyfriend.

I think about you most minutes of most days.

I think it's quite a kind name.

I think of you and Mother every single day,

I think people spend even more money after a wedding.

I think perhaps she was ill, and she knew she was ill,

I thought you'd know.

I told myself the same thing because she was here with me.

I told you so.

I understand.

I wanna ask you something and you're gonna say,

I want everything out in the open.

I want to be waiting outside my own bathroom

I want to be with him.

I want to be with my husband.

I want to do what Rose did.

I want to work in an office and deal with numbers.

I want you to know that...

I was glad to see you finally got some letters from home today, Eilis.

I was happy to hear about your golf tournament.

I was led to believe that you didn't need looking after.

I will.

I wish everything were different.

I wish I'd written to Father Flood about you, Rose.

I wish it had been like this before I went.

I wish someone had told me that years ago.

I wish that I could stop feeling that I want to be an Irish girl in Ireland.

I wish there were more like you.

I won't ask what that means.

I wonder what they'll think of it.

I would, very much.

I'd be afraid every single day.

I'd do anything to get out of this horrible cabin.

I'd finished.

I'd forgotten just how bad it feels to be away from home.

I'd forgotten what this town is like.

I'd forgotten.

I'd forgotten.

I'd have to say no for your sake.

I'd imagined a different life for myself.

I'd love to know what sort of woods he's in.

I'd love to know what sort of woods he's in.

I'd love to meet a fella.

I'd love to.

I'd rather have them homesick than heartbroken.

I'd regret it for the rest of my life.

I'll be able to pay for next year's tuition and pay you back for last year.

I'll be going back to New York straight after the wedding.

I'll be going back to the United States soon.

I'll give you a razor that'll do the trick.

I'll never see her again.

I'll put some rouge and mascara on you.

I'll say I love you too.

I'll soon be able to afford to come home and see you and Mammy.

I'll take that. All right, you ready? Hands up.

I'll take you to your house and say good night.

I'll tell you this much.

I'll thank you to keep His name out of a conversation about nylons.

I'll try and think of something to say.

I'm a rude idiot.

I'm away to America.

I'm booked to go back to New York on the 21st.

I'm glad.

I'm going to ask Father Flood

I'm going to bed.

I'm going to get us some water. That's all you're allowed.

I'm going to live in my parents' house.

I'm gonna say splash any time I see problems.

I'm grateful.

I'm Italian. Well, my parents are, anyway.

I'm just about to marry an Irish girl, so I guess I notice it more.

I'm married.

I'm not an employee. I'd be doing them a favour.

I'm not Irish.

I'm not sure he taught me anything.

I'm not sure I have a home any more.

I'm only thinking of Eilis.

I'm so glad you can come to the wedding.

I'm so sorry about Rose.

I'm so sorry, Eilis. This is all my fault.

I'm so sorry, I wanted to ask you a thousand things

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry about the smell.

I'm sorry, Eilis. I'm an idiot.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm studying book keeping.

I'm supposed to arrange a time when you can come around for tea.

I'm sure he won't.

I'm sure it's not.

I'm sure they'd be glad to have you.

I'm sure you're busy,

I'm talking too much. Tell me about plumbing.

I'm told you have a certificate in book keeping.

I'm very hungry.

I'm very tired.

I'm worried I'm putting her off me.

I'm worried. You haven't eaten anything.

I've been working hard. I've been saving money.

I've enrolled you in a night class, for book keeping. Brooklyn College.

I've fixed three.

I've never even been to England

I've saved some money.

If he can keep his mouth shut.

If I leave with you, I'm sure she'd understand.

If it was just that, I'd spend every penny I had on you.

If there is a next time...

If there's nothing there for clever young girls such as yourself,

If you can promise, you can easily do this.

If you laugh or you say anything about this to anybody in the family,

If you try and enter the country looking like that.

If you'd been nice last night, we would have played fair.

In public utility integration proceedings alone,

In sickness and in health.

In that lovely Irish brogue.

In the accounts department.

In you come.

Is he annoying you?

Is he nice?

Is it American book keeping?

Is it still hot out there?

Is it your time of the month?

Is that all? I'll just put the shopping away.

Is that an American trick?

Is that difficult?

Is that really everything you own?

Is that right?

Is that right? What do you do about that?

Is there a girl in a white shirt sitting on her own over there?

Is this all because Eilis has found herself a young man?

Is this the same Jim Farrell that was engaged to Cathleen Cassidy?

It all tastes of sawdust.

It can get quite humid sometimes.

It certainly feels like it,

It could be anything.

It doesn't feel like that.

It doesn't matter what he said, Mother.

It frightens me, the idea of dying without ever leaving Ireland.

It is if the eyes belong to a politician.

It just looks it.

It looks to me as if you didn't just pass those exams.

It made me think that my life must seem very easy to you.

It might as well be Mrs O'Toole from Cush.

It seems everything is so exciting and new compared to here.

It seems like years ago.

It was a lovely service.

It was a terrible thing.

It was sudden.

It was the saddest thing to happen in the town that I can remember.

It was very nice, thank you.

It was.

It was...

It wasn't so bad.

It will not be long before your friend gets married

It won't be long now by the sound of it

It'll be three nights a week and I've paid your tuition for the first semester.

It'll stop you getting so sick. Do you promise me?

It's as well Jim takes after me, not him.

It's depressing, though, that we don't think of things like that, isn't it?

It's everybody.

It's good to see that not everybody's put off their dinner by the weather forecast.

It's hard for me to believe that you're reading this in America,

It's just like home.

It's just something that most guys, they...

It's just... I like how you're being.

It's like home.

It's lovely.

It's not as if I've anything else to do or anybody else to talk to.

It's not politics to talk about eye operations.

It's not, really.

It's still not the same.

It's supposed to be a rough one tonight,

It's the best food in the world.

It's the blazer and the hair oil.

It's the most Tony will ever have seen of you and you don't want to put him off.

It's warm, yes.

It's what you have to do.

Jim and I promised my mother we'd take her back to the car.

Just for a jar of cold cream.

Just ignore him, Eilis.

Just, you know, Brooklyn College.

Just... Well, I wash it, Mrs Kehoe, with soap.

Keep me away from Jim?

Ladies, no more talk about

Ladies, please.

Let's go again.

Let's go for a smoke.

Let's see how that goes and then we'll speak again.

Like what?

Listen, I'm eight years old.

Literally thousands of investors may be affected by its application.

Look as if you know where you're going.

Lord, bless these rings.

Lovely. Thank you.

Ma Kehoe says you're the nicest lodger she's ever had.

Mammy has stopped shopping at Nettles Kelly's.

Mammy, I'm sorry.

Mammy, it's not even 8:00. You don't have to.

Maria has been telling me you've done the most marvellous job here.

Marry me.

Marry me.

May always be faithful to each other.

May they do your will

Maybe get something to eat first?

Maybe I can pass some advice on to the next poor girl who feels that way.

Maybe I feel the same way.

Maybe it's just better if I don't get involved.

Maybe we can have a dance later.

Maybe you could have a look in Bartocci's for me, Eilis?

Me? I have a job.

Might get some inside information.

Mind yourself, there.

Mind, now.

Miss Kelly, might I talk to you later?

Miss Kelly...

Mmm! Do you hear that? Jim and I. Jim and I.

Mom and Dad and all my brothers, they all say hello.

More loyal to her bosses than to her friends.

Mother and Father and myself.

Mr de Valera's had another operation on his eyes, she says. He's been in Holland.

Mrs Brady, what would you like this morning?

My body was here,

My mother played golf with her, you know.

My mother wanted you to know

My sister Rose said she'd write straightaway.

My wife has family there.

Nancy, I'm... I'm going back.

Nancy.

Nancy's mother must have been in every shop in the town.

Never had a Bartocci's girl living here.

Next. Passport, please.

Nice, clean cows.

Nice, isn't it?

No food, no drink, no nothing.

No hair oil.

No, because they beat you up.

No, I live there already.

No, I wanna be waiting

No, Mrs Kehoe. I asked Miss Tyler in Cosmetics.

No, no, Diana, who lives in the boarding house with me

No, no, leave it.

No, no, you're a pretty girl, Eilis,

No, of course not.

No, thank you.

No, they just had red hair and big legs.

No, you can eat when you get there.

No?

No.

No.

No.

No. I knew what you meant

No. You flew through them.

Nobody knew what to say to me.

Not bad.

Not even once?

Not even, what do you call it, the department store where you work?

Not if what you're going to say

Not just. We eat...

Not really.

Nothing fancy. You mustn't look like a tart.

Nothing is the matter with us, Mrs Kehoe.

Now you don't look like you came in from milking the cows.

Now, I can only let

Now, I think this is the first time

Now, if you go and see Maria, she'll have your money for today.

Now, Miss McAdam is leaving us.

Now, remember you're getting off easy because we haven't got sauce.

Now, Taylor v. Standard Gas Company is one of the most important corporate cases

Number one, bottom bunk, that's mine.

Of course he will.

Of course I do.

Of course not.

Of course, you would be welcome to join us, Dolores.

Of course.

Of course.

Off.

Oh, and I'm not talking about looks here.

Oh, and which brand did he use, Miss McAdam?

Oh, Bartocci's is bound to have it.

Oh, dear God. Diana's right, though, Eilis.

Oh, dear. We're gonna have to do something with you.

Oh, don't you worry.

Oh, Eilis.

Oh, I don't mind. I'll have to find you a key.

Oh, I expect so.

Oh, it's nothing so bad.

Oh, just night classes. I want to be a book keeper.

Oh, no, it wasn't...

Oh, no, it's colder here.

Oh, no. I'm not passing that on.

Oh, only that she'd been to a wedding

Oh, those bastards.

Oh, well, looking like a tart isn't going to be a problem.

Oh, well, you know what people are like. They love to talk.

Oh, well.

Oh, you can't fool me, Miss Lacey.

Oh, you're not serving lunch to the old fellas who've nowhere to go, are you?

Oh!

Oh...

Oh...

Oh... I'm sorry.

OK, so while you're being amenable,

OK.

OK.

One moment.

One of my parishioners paid.

One of the things that ruins Christmas in America is the turkey.

One way or the other.

One, two, three.

Or any other day of the season.

Or the day after.

Otherwise, it's too long to wait.

Our Lord was a man, anyway.

Outside the bathroom of my boarding house forever.

Over here that's how

Over this way.

Parkway's next stop.

Parkway's next.

Patty, did you have any luck with that cold cream?

People or fellas?

People really loved her, Eilis.

People say that there are so many Irish people there,

People'll talk about you.

Perhaps a little eye liner.

Perhaps you didn't even know.

Perhaps you'll write and tell me about him.

Please come, Eilis.

Please don't mention it to Mammy, though. You know what she's like.

Please just ask.

Please unlock it.

Please, let me do the shopping.

Polish your shoes.

Put it this way, if our kids end up supporting the Yankees or the Giants,

Qualifications and a boyfriend, Eilis.

Reads the newspaper on the toilet.

Really? It's colder in Ireland?

Remember, if people like it here, they'll come back,

Remember, Mrs Grogan didn't notice a thing.

Right, I'm ready.

Rose used to play golf with him. He sponsored me.

Rose wanted a better life for you.

Rose! Oh, Rose!

Rose.

Rose.

Rose.

See you.

She doesn't know that for sure, Mrs Kehoe.

She doesn't want to be wasting her money on clothes.

She has the best room in the house,

She loved how well you were doing.

She plays golf and she's really good at it

She said they were all bitches.

She thinks I'll destroy the place.

She told me not to come back without you.

She usually comes into the shop on Sunday morning for her rashers.

She was always very nice to the newcomers, my mother says.

She was buying firelighters in Broom's.

She was very fond of her.

She won't have much choice. She'll be there for...

She won't say anything about it.

She'll be looking after your mother for the rest of her life.

She'll buy them, Mother.

She'll evict me.

She's a Yanks fan.

She's a Yanks fan.

She's going to live with her sister in Manhattan.

She's got much older very quickly.

She's never read my writing before.

She's not laughing, Tony. Think it's too late.

She's only saying that Bartocci's is a better store than Webster's

She's only written back once.

She's... Well, she's sad.

Sheila knows how they smell because that's where she goes husband hunting.

Sheila, can I ask you something?

Shoe polish? That's not really a Sunday item, now, is it?

Shouldn't be a moment.

Slice up some hot dogs.

So all the mill workers and drivers did overtime last week.

So are you away to live in America?

So has Tony offered to take you to Ebbets Field when the season starts?

So how did you fix it in 10 minutes?

So I don't get the wrong idea?

So I don't think you can make too much of a mess of things.

So I guess what I'm saying is, you wanna live out here on Long Island?

So I'd like you to continue on a part time basis.

So I'll save that one for later.

So it's maybe the biggest milestone in parent subsidiary law.

So long as you don't mind being a gooseberry.

So much so he'll happily take a beating.

So none of the other passengers are eating.

So take it slowly.

So that's one cheese sandwich for Miss McAdam

So that's something, isn't it?

So the next time you tell me you love me,

So the sewage is still pouring through the ceiling?

So this is it. This is where you live.

So we had to read about an insurance company

So what do you eat in Ireland? Just Irish stew?

So what is it?

So what were you doing at an Irish dance?

So you both miraculously found boyfriends over the last couple of days, did you?

So you treat every customer as if she's a new friend.

So you're going back?

So, how have you been getting on?

So, now, Mrs O'Toole from Cush.

So, you're having the room and that's that.

So...

So...

So...

Soap was good enough for Our Lord, I expect.

Some of the people will be fellas.

Some of them have been here 50 years.

Someone who's only yours,

Something Italian, he thought.

Sorry, Mrs Kehoe.

Sorry.

Sorry. Could I have the bill, please?

Sorry. Thank you. But why?

Speak up.

Splash!

Stand up straight.

Stay with me.

Step out of the line, please. Thank you. Next, please. Thank you.

Step over this way, please. Get out of the line.

Step this way.

Stop me from going back to America?

Straightaway, the young fella said.

Suit yourself. I'll see you later.

Sure. Will you come for dinner and meet my family sometime?

Take care of yourself. Love.

Take some time off now. Go and sit in the staff room.

Ten minutes before I'm supposed to meet you and I'm standing ankle deep in sewage

Thank you for the evening. It was lovely.

Thank you for your letters.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. I'd like that.

Thanks very much.

That I shouldn't grieve too much because I had the two of you.

That the golf club is inaugurating a prize in Rose's name.

That went bankrupt in the 1930s

That'd be nice.

That's it, that's it.

That's on my way home.

That's one of the reasons I'm going, cos I can't buy my own.

That's pouring through this old lady's ceiling.

That's right, isn't it, Father?

That's right.

That's the thing, Mrs Kehoe.

That's what it's like?

That's what it's like.

That's why I go to that wretched dance every week.

That's why I wanted to be here no matter what.

That's why you haven't been sick for hours.

The Bartocci wrapping paper makes them look so glamorous.

The baseball team he loves.

The basement,

The bathroom door was locked all night.

The bridges, the highways.

The double entry system, that takes a while to get used to.

The first sound I hear is you asking me for the cheque

The future.

The girls will help you find something suitable, Eilis.

The mistake was coming home from America in the first place.

The problem is that it's our busy season,

The rings.

The summers in New York are hot, eh?

The world is a small place, isn't it?

Then I'll thank her.

Then I'll wish I was back here talking to you.

Then keep him.

There are a lot of you in Brooklyn.

There are no customers in there at the moment,

There are so many more movies here in New York than in Cavan.

There isn't another Italian man like him in New York.

There they are.

There.

There. That's better.

There. Won't be very comfortable, but at least it's ours.

There'll be no alcohol, but you can have fun without it.

There's a dance?

There's all the maths, of course, but that's not so complicated.

There's gonna be even less for men like these.

There's no need.

There's nothing wrong with soap.

These are the men who built the tunnels,

They behave like Italians all night.

They came. The liars.

They have a problem in their accounts department.

They haven't managed to replace Rose, you know.

They lost, so he was annoyed.

They need you up there straightaway.

They say it's hotter there in the summer and colder in the winter.

They take a long time at first.

They want 'em sliced down the middle.

They were a funny colour.

They'll still be there after dinner.

They're both very good

They're that important to you?

Think like an American.

This doesn't look too bad.

This is hell.

This is it.

This is me.

This is us here.

This week, it's like the whole world's basements are flooding.

This.

Thousands of miles across the sea.

Through Christ our Lord, amen.

To all the ladies here for their hard day's work.

To declare before God and his Church

To declare before God and his Church

To get at Patty.

To go through the whole day in detail with her...

To preach a sermon on the dangers of giddiness.

Tony, what's the matter with you?

Too busy talking.

Too many of them?

Two...

Um... Patty and I aren't going this week.

Unless I find a nice man in First to smoke with.

Very well, thanks, Miss Kelly.

We all want to hear what life in New York is like.

We all went to the funeral Mass,

We ask this through Christ our Lord, amen.

We could try the Connaught Hotel bar.

We didn't know.

We don't.

We go to the cinema on Wednesdays

We had a hundred last year. There may be more this.

We had a real houseful afterwards.

We have a great singer in the room with us today.

We judge the winter, on how cold it is.

We just do it quickly, just keep it between us.

We know he's quite nice looking.

We must seem very backward to you now.

We only been out a couple of times.

We should have known you would, of course. You're Rose's sister, after all.

We still don't have them now.

We want to know everything.

We'll eat tomorrow.

We'll find the second best seats in the house, then.

We'll find the second best seats in the house, then.

We'll make sure you get the best seats in the house.

We'll miss Enniscorthy, but it's lovely and quiet in Glenbrien.

We'll sell three.

We're going to Coney Island at the weekend.

We're going to see a movie instead.

We're gonna build five houses here if we can

We're gonna set up a company.

We're not all the same.

We're not here to provide you with entertainment.

Wear it with this

Welcome to the United States, ma'am.

Well, come on.

Well, congratulations.

Well, hello.

Well, I didn't really know what to say.

Well, I don't want to talk about her any more.

Well, I hope you have more luck with these than you did with the last few.

Well, I saw a movie with my boyfriend.

Well, I want to be an accountant one day, but, yes, book keeping first.

Well, I was amazed that someone as clever as you

Well, I'm hoping you won't be on your own forever.

Well, I'm sure Dolores would enjoy a movie just as well.

Well, if you leave me for a couple of hours,

Well, let's hope the next hour's easier, huh?

Well, mothers are always being left behind in this country.

Well, the rain held off anyway.

Well, there's a lot to it.

Well, there's school.

Well, they filled out the overtime slips,

Well, we won't be needing you back here.

Well, why would I not like it?

Well, you can take Dolores, then. Of course.

Well, you can wait an extra week to see your best friend married.

Well, you have a very busy life now,

Well, you should call in at Davis's.

Well, you're the prettiest girl in County Wexford.

Well...

What a pair of bitches.

What are you talking about? What's wrong with you?

What did you see, Dorothy?

What do you do when you're not working?

What do you want me to say?

What does it feel like?

What don't they mind?

What if Mrs O'Toole from Cush writes back to thank you for your thank you?

What in heaven's name will she do about clothes?

What is the matter with you girls now?

What would you like to do?

What? We don't. That is a well known fact.

When I first went to America,

When I had to think about who I could trust to live down there.

When next door starts hammering, you can negotiate.

When you get to immigration, keep your eyes wide open.

When you said we were all the same.

When your daddy died, I said to myself

Where are you gonna live? Brooklyn?

Where's Annette? And why has he come?

While some bad tempered fella with hair growing out of his ears

Who has no connection with the past,

Who was getting married there.

Who'll get a college education.

Why aren't you married?

Why couldn't you have remembered yesterday?

Why did I ever come here?

Why didn't you tell me to put my costume on underneath my clothes?

Why didn't you wear your blue dress?

Why do you want to do it?

Why don't they go home?

Why, Frankie?

Why?

Will cause trouble for me in some way or another.

Will the other girls not mind?

Will we ever tell our children we did this?

Will you come out with George and me tomorrow night?

Will you finish that wretched pipe and sit with us?

Will you let me say what I want to say?

Will you marry me before you leave?

Will you tell us what you know about him, Mrs Kehoe?

With love, your Tony.

Won't have any trouble.

Would a promise not be the same?

Would I get married again?

Would we not, Mrs Kehoe?

Would you like to come into the front room for a glass of something?

Would you like to dance?

Would you like to dance?

Yeah, and my mother would like to meet you too, by the way.

Yeah, but they're no good, Frankie, and...

Yeah, you have to remember that the sauce flies everywhere,

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes, and if you make one tiny noise,

Yes, but don't ask me anything else,

Yes, but they're just very crowded.

Yes, I'm sure you would, but you won't hear it from me.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. And a job.

Yes. It's a good one, isn't it?

Yes. Tomorrow.

Yes. Why?

You all look the same.

You can do that? Maybe I could teach it.

You don't get to go see the Dodgers on Saturday

You don't have to worry about me.

You don't make it sound very glamorous.

You don't need to know anything about kissing.

You don't sound Irish.

You don't trust me to come back?

You had a couple of hours on a Sunday working for Nettles Kelly.

You have beaches in Brooklyn.

You have family in America? Friends?

You have papers and everything?

You have to know where you're going.

You have to think like an American.

You haven't packed your shoes yet.

You just splashed his mother, his father, and the walls.

You just want her to stay.

You know enough about plumbing already.

You know that I think you will.

You know that taps drip and that toilets get blocked

You know what she's like.

You know you're the best writer and reader in the family?

You like baseball?

You like Italian food?

You look after things for five minutes while I'm upstairs with Eilis, please, Mary.

You look so beautiful. It makes me despair of this place.

You love me?

You might not even notice straightaway,

You need to know about spelling and... And...

You need to think carefully about your costume.

You ready?

You remember that after I had dinner at your house,

You see what I'm saying?

You seem calm and civilised and charming.

You should be able to choose any man you want

You shouldn't call her that.

You survived.

You wanna be a book keeper?

You wanna go home, I guess.

You wanna go see the Dodgers on Saturday?

You wanna know why? Too much of this.

You'd forgotten? What a thing...

You'd never know cos they'd never say it to your face.

You'd think it'd be the other way round.

You'll have to shave down there.

You'll meet people easily enough.

You're all right there for the moment.

You're beginning to terrify me.

You're in a good mood, huh?

You're marvellous, that's all I have to say.

You're not going to work tomorrow, are you?

You're not the miserable young girl who wanted to go home last winter.

You're not to eat.

You're on the top.

You're only cold outside.

You're too far away, Eilis.

You've bought most of the clothes in this case.

You've earned it.

You've survived your first New York winter.

You've wrote before already about five times.

Your consent to become George's wife.

Your mother tells me things are working out very well

9:00 mass is over, girls.

A dance, later. Oh. Sure.

Are they all Irish? All Irish.

Clinton Street. Yeah?

Good idea. Can I start now?

Good luck. Thank you.

Good morning. Did you go out last night?

Good night. Good night.

Grammar. Yeah. Will you look?

Half a dozen rashers, please. Of course.

Happy Christmas. Cheers.

Has somebody asked you? No.

Have you told Tony yet, Eilis? Of course.

He has beautiful eyes. Mmm...

He's the little one? Yeah, he's eight going on 18.

He's walking over here now. He's not!

Hello, Eilis. Hello, Mrs Brennan.

Hey, are you Irish? Is it so obvious?

How'd you know that? Lucky guess.

I bet you wouldn't let on if you had. She's that sort.

I need to say something to you. Can you...

I was just coming to fetch you. To fetch me?

I was next. And you still are.

I'll try. It's not a matter of trying.

I've been taking lessons. Lessons? Like in a class?

Is that right? Hmm.

Is that what I looked like? Just a bit.

it'd break my heart. Mine too.

Like a Red spy. Oh, dear God.

Merry Christmas. Thank you.

Nancy. You look so glamorous.

Never again. Never again to America?

No, I was going to... Do you have sunglasses?

No. Just visiting?

No. So would you dance with me?

No. You need sunglasses.

Now you've got no toilet. Get out of the bathroom.

Now. Thank you.

Oh, boy. What does that mean?

One moment, please. Excuse me.

Open the door right now. Do you hear me? Fuck off.

Open the door. Feck off.

Out, the opposite of in. No.

Ow! Excuse us.

Putting you through now. Thank you.

Really? Yes.

Really? Yes.

so Jim'll... Yes, I know.

Such a gentleman, isn't he? He is.

Sure. OK.

Thank goodness you're back. What's the matter?

Thank you for your help. Have a good day.

That'll be Nancy and Annette. Off you go.

That's all? No.

Tony. What?

What happened to her? He broke it off.

What sort of things? We don't know.

What'll happen? What can happen?

When is it? The 27th of August.

Why? Why? Not thank you?

Will you be going, Eilis? Yes, Mrs Kehoe.

Will you do something for me? What?

Won't you, girls? Mmm hmm.

Wow. Mmm.

Yeah, sure. All right, here we go.

Yeah. All right.

Yeah. Go.

Yeah. I'm trying to write to Eilis.

Yes? I need some shoe polish.

You don't know her? I do.

You look beautiful, Nancy. Thank you.

You'd be rescuing me. I get it.

Your poor sister. My sister?

...this.
