Hello there.
This is my little brother Daniel.
In his head,
he'd like to be James Bond.
What?
What's your name?
Toyah.
Toy-ah.
Hi, I'm Daniel.
You...
You want to go somewhere?
Come on!
You wanna get that stutter looked at.
You sound like a fucking helicopter.
Thanks.
I just thought that maybe you'd like...
Maybe you wanna go...
You know, maybe we could...
Look, go away and go fuck yourself with a big pole.

You see the look she was giving me?
He's not James Bond.
He's a 19-year-old virgin with an anxiety problem,
particularly around girls he fancies.
He needs help, my help.
I'm his little sister,

You have no right to assault us!
Assault, is it?
You're the one assaulting my ears.
It was a respectable volume.
This is a gross intrusion into our privacy.
Anyway, I told you to keep it down.
- No, you didn't! - Yes, I did, but did you listen?
- No, so this is what happens. - That's enough, mum.
Look, Maeve, I'll handle it.
Mum, come on,
you've made your point. Come on.
I'm taking this to the police.
Kathleen Buckley does not give a hoot for your threats.
Look, mum, cool it. Please, come on.
This is no way to solve a dispute between neighbors.
I don't hear anybody singing crappy frank Sinatra, do you?
Sinatra isn't crap.
Fuck frank Sinatra!
That's us, the buckleys.
Two years ago, dad was going to repaint the house,
but then mum gone into politics.
One day, dad went out to get a newspaper,
and we haven't seen him since.
Bob, do you have anything to say?
You wet me ukulele.
Mum, they'll call the police.
Well, let them.
These people need to learn how
to but respectful to their neighbors.
And don't expect an apology, 'cause you don't deserve one!
It's over.
Scram, Bob.
What do you think?
Do we need to get her some help?
Nah, she's not too bad today.
What? She almost drowned them.
Well, last week she threw a plant.
I think she's mellowing.
Two years, eight months, four days.
Glad you've dropped hours and minutes.
That was just stupid.
- God, jeez, fuck! - Ah, Jesus, man!
Come on, I'm not finished.
Here, look, take this one.
Eldest, not necessarily the brightest.
Shut up, you cretin.
I'm not the one
with burned fingers.
Enjoy domestic bliss, cretins.
I bet he was adopted.
Nah, that's cruel, he's just in a hurry.
When he starts being nice, I stop being cruel.
Well?
Shoes are medium.
Well, I polished them, like, twice.
Slim Jim's wonky.
Bing!
Ah, Jesus, Maeve!
Must be kinda spooky going for dad's old job, eh?
Money isn't spooky.
Besides, we need money.
True.
So, how was last night's girl hunt?
Great, brilliant.
So, you didn't score?
Well, there was one girl, but she wasn't really my type.
Same old problem?
She said I sounded like a fucking helicopter.
Then do something about it, now.
I mean it.
Oh, no, no, don't thank me.
I knew you'd want me to come along.
I'm so glad.
I do love you.
Hello!
Today is going to be a great day.
I mean, I can feel it in the air.
Feel the air, Daniel, feel the air.
I feel it.
Fare, please.
Oh, I don't carry money.
Today is his first job interview.
That's nice.
You can have this one.
Oh, oh no,
he's going to do much better in life than you.
I really hope you get this job.
Well, I'm gonna try.
And when you do, buy a car.
This family needs a car.
A car.
But I can't drive.
That doesn't matter, I'm pretty sure I can.
A red car.
Of course, we all know about your father.
There's no news, I suppose?
No.
He was...
Sorry, is a great ship inspector.
I hope that you will follow in his footsteps.
Yeah.
As you probably know, Mr. Buckley,
a ship inspector is an important position.
We like to call it passport control for animals
traveling by ship or aircraft.
Animal customs, if you will.
Now, down to business, Mr. Buckley.
What qualities make a good ship inspector?
Well, you must...
Work hard.
Yes. Go on.
It's important to be...
Honest.
And a ship...
A ship...
Ah.
Do you mind if I...
Vigilant.
A ship inspector must be vigilant.

Well, how did it go?
It went well, I think.
Well, why wouldn't it go well? Did they mention me?
- No. - Good.
Do you think you might be seeing your brother later on?
- No, I don't think so. - Oh, Daniel, he listens to you.
That's news to me, mum.
Rory's an artist. He's not like everybody else.
- You can say that again. - He doesn't eat.
His head is full of music and nonsense. He's my firstborn,
and he has to come home for dinner tomorrow.
Especially tomorrow, Fridays are special.
Daniel, I'm worried.
If you want me to go see him, I'll go see him.
Oh, thank you so much, I knew I could rely on you.
Well, I must dash. I've got
a fianna fáil committee meeting to go to.
Excuse me.
What?
Oh, I was looking to make an appointment with Mr...
It's pronounced wolkenski.
The w is a v sound.
Oh, wolkenski, right.
Stutter, repetitive vowel syndrome, or larynx issues?
Stutter.
No, um, maybe all of 'em?
You can't have all of them. Pick one.
Okay, a stutter.
Next Tuesday at 4:30. First lesson is free.
You discuss money with Mr. Wolkenski.
That's if he takes you on.
He's very particular.
He prefers women.
Oh, okay.
No use crying over spilled milk.
My fucking boyfriend, the love of my life,
broke it off after six and a half months.
I have to accept it.
Get on with your life, Donna!
Tell me to get on with my life.
Get on with your life.
Thanks.
I'm Donna.
Buckley, Daniel Buckley.
You'd think the wankbook would have the guts
to face me in person.
Instead, he sent me flowers.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Oh, well, not at the moment, but, you know...
Better off without.
As if a couple of flowers make everything all right.
"Thanks, Donna, for six months, ten days,
15 hours, 26 minute of your life.
We'll always be friends."
Um, no, we won't.
I mean, would you do that to your girlfriend?
Oh, well, I...
See? I knew it.
I spent hours cooking chateaubriand for his birthday,
and this is my reward from Mr. Fuckitypants mcbollocks.
What's chateaubriand?
See you next Tuesday, Buckley, Daniel Buckley.
Cheerio, now.

So, how long have you two been an item?
Actually, we just met.
Well, don't believe a word my little brother tells you.
He told me you were great at singing.
Except maybe for that one.
Now, if you'll excuse us... Um, oh, hold on.
Care to join us?
That's sweet of you, but I don't do small enclosed spaces.
Oh.
What the hell are you doing with Daniel, then?
I'll catch you later.
Yeah, only if she's brain dead.
Very good, Daniel, very mature.
Is he always like that?
Just when he's awake.
I'm kinda taking care of him, so.
He sounds pretty well looked after.
Do you wanna go ahead, actually? I can follow you.
Yeah.
Rory, mum wants you home for dinner tonight.
What's your name again?
Daniel.
Daniel, thanks for the introduction to your brother,
the big rockstar.
No problem.
Pardon?
Gosh, that stutter's desperate.
Can I have your number?
No, sorry, groover.
- Oh. - I don't have a phone.
You should really do something about that stutter.
Ciao.
Oh, wait, your bag isn't...
- Are you okay? - I'm okay.

Ah, you poor groover.
I saved your bag.
Thanks. Are you sure you're okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.

Maybe some coffee might help, or...

Oh, Daniel, the best cook in Ireland.
There's lots who are better.
Well, I don't know what we'd do without you.
Well, I had a good teacher, so...

They're blocking out the sun. They're killing all my plants.
It's like they're laughing at me!
Mum, they're just statues.

Good evening.
Uh, yeah.

Well, do you think you could take that stupid thing off
at the dinner table?
You look better with the hat on.
And what do you call that, then?

I mean, what possessed you?

Well, I suppose you were all gonna find out soon anyway.
Find out what?
I'm quitting the civil service,
and I'm gonna go full-time with the band.
Full-time, is it?
And who's gonna bring money into the house?
I will, mum. Look, it'll be okay.
What am I supposed to tell your father when he comes home?
You're still singing that sad old song?
What's that supposed to mean?
Dad is never coming home.
He's either dead, or he's living with some gorgeous babe
in a galaxy far, far away.
- No, he's not! - You don't mean that.
Where is he, then?
One day he'll come home and explain everything.
Oh yes, I might've known you'd have come out
with trash talk like that.
Oh, the truth always hurts.
Well, yours does.
That's a good one,

You just can't face reality.
And you can't face a mirror!

Well, it's not my hair.
- Make me. - Make you?
Oh, I'll make you.
I'll make you!
- It's your turn. - Hey, calm down. Come on.
You expect me to provide for you
while you waste your life, is that it?
- It's my life. - Is it? Is it?
Well, I gave you that life, and this is how you repay me?
Hey!
Ah!
Ah, Daniel, the mess!

Juice was a mistake.

Oh, it's not that bad.

He's gonna get cold.
Here, gies.
I'll go get him.
Thank you, Daniel.
Here, in case his new hair scares people.
Wish me luck.
Ah, for fuck's sake.
Thanks, now fuck off.
You know, I like the wig.
Well, you can keep it.
Thanks.
I was actually thinking about getting my own, maybe in pink.
Just crack on, idiot, all right?
What?
Stop. All right? Stop hiding behind your stutter.
Everyone, shut up, so little stutter boy
can finish his sentence.
Is it a bird, is it a plane?
No, it's fucking stutter boy.
- It's a living. - I don't buy it.
I bet you don't stutter
when you're with your little barmaid girlie, do you?
Well, no, actually.
Doesn't matter, she won't stay long

I'm not a...
Fucking stuttery dweeb.
Well, at least I'm not a rockstar who...

Oh!
Why don't you come back here and try that again?
She still won't let me go.
Ah, she'll come around, it's only a disco.
You'd swear I was going to an orgy.
Well, that's the week after, isn't it?
So, what's she like?
What's who like?
Your new girlfriend.
How did you know I had a new girlfriend?
Let's examine the evidence, shall we?
What evidence?
Well, you've been going around the place
humming that flock of seagulls shite.
Yeah, impressive, you should be in Rory's band.
Thanks, I'd rather gouge my kneecaps off with a spoon.
Is that it?
Nope, soon as I mentioned girlfriend, you went red.
No, I didn't.
I'm always a bit red anyway, so...
What's her name?
Carla.
Carla?
Yeah, Carla. What's wrong with that?
Nothing, just never met anyone called car-lah.
Well, you should go out more.
I'm working on it.
Car-lah.
Carwash.
Quit it, smartarse.
Did you have sex with Carla yet?
- What? - Did ya?
What? No. No, it's not like that.
Look, Carla's a nice girl.
I make her laugh, and we make each other laugh.
Oh my god, my brother is in love.
No, I'm not.
Sure, you look a bit funny to me.
I'm going now.
Congratulations.
What?
Mr. Ship inspector.
You did it!
Oh, I did it!
What did I tell you?
Those ship inspectors, they don't mess around.
When they want someone,
they get them.
So, does this mean you'll be leaving, too?
No, why should I do that?
Well, you'll have money and carwash.
Carla.
You and Carla will find a place to live,
and I'll be left here to handle mum.
Oh my god, I'll have to learn to cook!
Oh, god forbid.
Look, I've been on one date with Carla.
I'm not going anywhere.
And what would you do without me, anyways?
God knows.
And I can keep a look out for dad at work, so...
You can get me a job, too.
I'll work weekends.
Plus, I'll probably do a better job than you anyway.
Shut up.
This is Daniel, the ship inspector.
I did tell you you were going to be traveling in style.
Daniel, this is Charles Sheridan.

Pleased to meet ya.
I've met Rory and Maeve, of course.

But for some reason, I never met you.

We'll have to chats then. Be safe.
You're a legend, thank you so much.

Carla needs to make more time for you.
If she's more interested in work,
then you should just forget her.
Maybe she's put off by my stutter.
Then she's not up to much.
Well, I know she likes me.
What's up?
Maybe Rory's right.
I think dad met someone else.
What makes you say that?
Before he left, he was on the phone, whispering.
Well, how do you know it was a girl?
He put the phone down when mum came in.
Yeah, but I'd put the phone down if mum was coming in, so...
Yeah, but I was in school, and Jonah hypnotized me,
and then I remembered everything.
All right, Jonah hypnotized you, so it must be true.
That is the last time I tell you anything.
- What? - Wheels!
What wheels?
Carla. Car-lah.
Carla's not going out with me because I don't have a car.
Where are you going?
Maeve?
Delicious.

Good.

I'll tell you when I hear the question.
Did...
My dad ever mention anything about another woman?
Tarts.
Eat and be merry, for we have won the battle.
Your mother has an important announcement.
Is it about dad?
No, darling, it's not.
It's about the county council elections.
Children, your mother has been chosen
as fianna fáil's candidate.
Now, I am going to have to rely on you.
I will need your support.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Okay.
Rory?
Fine, yeah.
Wonderful, wonderful, you make me so proud.
Now, eat up, and, um, I'll give your assignments.
- Assignments? - Assignments?
Does this mean I get off school?
Of course, this is the family elections.
Vote number one.
Give your number one to Kathleen Buckley
if you're for fairness and the environment.
Don't vote number two, shamie "the crack."
He can't even spell.
I'm asking people of lennonstown to bring back the crack.
For far too long,
fianna fáil have brought a stench to this community,
and shamie "the crack" mcintyre
will bring the craic back, believe me.
Vote for shamie.
He's spelling it wrong.
It's c-r-a-i-c.
Vote number one, Kathleen Buckley.
Give your number one vote.
Thank you very much, great seeing ya.
Vote number one, Kathleen Buckley.
Number one, fianna fáil, Kathleen Buckley. Oh, yes.
I'll give these out.
Oh, hi, how are ya?
Vote number one, Kathleen Buckley.
Thank you so much, brilliant.
They've been talking about Chuck moving in.
He could become our stepdad... stepchuck.
Oh, we'll see about that.
You're wicked!
Well, I have my moments.
Now, check this out.
Chuck, I got you this just to say thanks.
Ah, good man, Daniel.
You're welcome.
You are too good.
Do you want some?
No, I think I'm going to actually watch
my figure for the election.
Oh yeah, okay.
Would you vote number one,
Kathleen Buckley, fianna fáil?
Thank you so much, have a great day. Thank you.
Oh, are you all right?
Ooh, no.
Charles, what's wrong with you? Are you all right?
No.
Ah!
Maybe you should get something yellow in the car.
It might help you drive better.
Oh, thanks.
You're doing good.
Oh, thanks, and thanks for the lessons.
They're actually really fun.
My pleasure.
Well, I guess I'll see ya.
- Bye. - Bye.
Hey.
So, who's the hippie chick?
Oh, that's just Donna.
Oh, sorry, doh-nah.
Oh, Jesus!
Hey.
And then we went to see flock of seagulls.
Have you seen them?
No, not yet.
You should, they're truly immense.
I didn't even know they were playing.
Ah, little puppy dog,
don't fret.
Down, boy, stay!
Second date.
Ah, someone likes me.
What are you waiting for, groover?
Slow down, groover.
Vacuum!
Jesus, you're gonna kill us all!
You're meant to ease your foot gently onto the pedal.
"I'm going for a driving lesson," he says.
"Come along, it'll be a laugh."
You're doing really well.
Am I?
How can you tell?
You just need to learn not to rush.
Yeah, he'll make a great driver, for a sherman tank.
Ah, no, he's doing grand.
Vote for me, Kathleen Buckley, fianna fáil.
Vote fair leadership.
Vote fair leadership for a new era.
I will work night and day.
I will work night and day
to make things better for everyone.
Daniel Buckley, what is that on your neck?
Did somebody take a bite outta you?
No!
Were you with that woman last night? What's-her-name?
Carla.
Carla. And did Carla have sex with you?
- Stop! - Will you answer me?
- No, of course not. - Thank god for that.
Actually, I would like to meet this Carla woman.
You can bring her for dinner.
Gargle.
Thanks for giving me an extra lesson, Mr. Wolkenski.
Gargle.
Well, it's such a big night, you know.
- I'm just glad that you... - Gargle!
No, you're too fast.
Let me show you.

Is he always that eccentric?
He is eccentric, but he gets results.
At least, I think he does.
People just go away after a while,
and I never see them again.
Well, tonight's important, so...
Oh, you're going out?
No, my girlfriend's coming over to my house for dinner.
- Yeah. - That's nice.
What's on the menu?
Chicken à I'orange.
Do you mix a bit of sugar in?
Nope, I always use cloves.
Sugar really brings up the flavor.
Does it?
You just have to be careful not to boil it away.
Slow boil is best.
Thanks, do you know what? I might use that.
I'll let you know how it went.
Do, I'd love to know.
Hope no one spills the gravy, or anything like that.
No, no, I'm sure it'll be fine.
I'm sure they'll get on.
Well, thanks.
Would you like a light?
What?
No, I don't smoke.
They seem to be getting on okay, don't they?
Hope they like the sugar in this.
They will. Listen, the disco.
Oh, yeah, that.
When are you going to ask?
Maybe later, Maeve.
But it's on this Friday night.
Look, maybe 14's too young.
I'm 15, and you promised!
Please, just don't bother me about this now.
- This is important! - Yeah, well, so is this.
Now, everyone, help yourselves.
Yes, help yourself, and don't worry about anybody else.
Carla designs stage clothes, did I tell yous?
Yes, Daniel, lots of times.
Oh, right, it's just such a cool job.
It must be fun getting in and out
of lots of stage clothes, is it?
It's gorge, and I love it.
Why shouldn't work be fun?
Maeve, pass the potatoes to our fun-loving guest.
Carla, you look absolutely lovely this evening.
Thank you, Rory.
Would you care for some thigh?
So, car-lah, how long have been called car-lah?
It's Carla.
My mother wanted to name me after my grandmother.
You have a grandmother?
Doesn't everyone?
And a mother and father, too, I presume?
Like most people, I do.
Wonderful, good for you.
Well, Carla, you're very welcome to our table.
It's been quite a while since we've had guests
that's not family.
Not since Jack went away.
It's been absolutely yonks.
As long as you don't count Chuck.
Yes, it's nice to be here.
How is Chuck?
Still really bad, darling.
He hasn't recovered from that gastric bug
that struck him down.
Tragic.
You'd almost think he'd been poisoned, wouldn't you?
Tell me, Carla, do you cook?
Only when I have to.
Could've guessed.
Carla, you do know that my Daniel
is a fantastic catch, don't you?
Have you tasted his cooking?
Oh, I'm just about to taste it.
Carla, do you think that 15 is old enough to go to a disco?
I went to discos when I was 13.
Now, that doesn't surprise me.
No, it wasn't exactly sex and drugs and rock and roll.
It was fairly innocent.
Well, there are always those that prey upon the innocent.
Depends on what you mean by innocent.
Carla, tell me, what are your intentions towards my son?
Intentions?
- Carla's into... - He can cook,
he has a job with prospects.
He could give some lucky girl a very easy life.
So, tell me, car-lah,
do you see yourself as that lucky girl?
I see myself as an independent woman
who's making her own luck.
- Do you? - Mm-hmm.
Well, let me tell you, Carla,
my boy didn't just cycle down the liffey on a bicycle.
He's not gonna be fooled by a pointy face
and a set of pretty teeth.
Pretty teeth?
I am just saying it like it is, Daniel.
We wouldn't want some people to get the wrong impressions.
Doesn't matter how innocent they might seem.
I can assure you, I'm not getting the wrong impression,
Mrs. Buckley.
Now, why can't you try Kathleen?
Or is my first name not good enough for you?
I'm sorry, Kathleen.
You say that like you are spitting out a lump of meat,
a bit of fat.
Say it properly.
Kathleen.
No, you're saying it like you're talking to a slave.
You must think I'm some sort deserter's wife, do ya?
Why would you say that?
Say my name, you bitch!
- Mum! - I'm sorry my pronunciation
is not up to scratch.
- Look, mum, you need... - Stay out of it, you.
Carla, say my fucking name.
- Kathleen. - All right, that's it.
I'm not gonna be insulted at my own table.
- You're coming unhinged. - No, I am saying...
You called me a bitch.
- Carlabitch. - My name is Carla.
Carlabitch.
Mum, you're being a tad unfair.
Really? What, to a hard-nosed English wagon
what is trying to steal my son?
I'm not English.
You're fine Gael, it's the same thing!
- I'm not political. - Ha, ha! You see?
That's what they all say.
Daniel, throw this hussy out onto the street
where what you found her.
- I'm sorry, okay. - It's okay.
I've had worse in the pub.
I'd say you have.
Know what, Daniel? I'm so disappointed in you.
I really thought that my middle son had more decency
and common sense and better taste.
Well, everyone, this had just been, erm, an event.
Pleasure.
Mum.
I've got a gig, or something.
Perhaps I should go, too.
Mum, this is wrong.
Is it?
You should apologize to Carla.
Yes, or car-lah might never come to dinner again.
Ah, pity about her.
It's Carla, there's no "lah."
Car-lah, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Maeve, darling, would you hand mummy
a bit of chicken, please?
- Certainly, mother. - Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Wait, Carla, wait.
Look, let's just call it a day.
No, look, I'm sorry.
My mum's just a bit...
I can make it up to you tomorrow, if you want.
It's fine.
I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?
Whatever, Daniel.
Okay.
That girl just wasn't right for you.
Well, I should be the judge of that.
There's lots of girls out there.
I'll help you pick one after the election.
You'd be better off without her.
I don't need your help, mum.
We all need each other's help.
Families are supposed to stick together, Daniel.
That didn't work with dad, did it?
Why did he leave?
That girl has twisted your mind.
Take your good jacket,
in case you want to go to a fucking disco.
When are you off?
Tomorrow night, after work.
Let me guess, Carla?
Mm-hmm.
Hope she has a big place.
Shouldn't be a problem.
Psh, good luck with that.
I'll still keep an eye out for dad.
You're exactly like dad.
Good riddance.

The people have spoken.
Well, the only one I hear speaking is you.
We demand a recount.
This is blasphemy!
It's called democracy.
You bitch.
Come on.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm pleased to announce the final results
for the county council elections for lennonstown,
and here they are.
I deem shamie "the crack" mcintyre
of fine Gael to be elected.
- Wreck! - Vex!
Oh, I love it!
Ah, thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
Brilliant, brilliant! Woo-hoo!
Get away from me, you dirty, lying, cheating loser.
She's fucking magnificent!
- Keep your hands off. - This is not over.
We will fight until justice is served.
I did not lose this election, it was stolen from me!
Come here.
Hug me tight.
No, no, tighter.
Groover.
Hey. Carla, look, I'm really sorry about what happened,
so I got you these.
I was just hoping maybe that I could...
Oh, you made us dinner?
How did you know I was gonna...
Ah!
He's what?
Gone to live with Carla.
Well, we'll see about that.
Mum!
For god's sake, Daniel.
Stop, right, just stop!
Stay down!
Carla, you coming?
I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
You're a nice guy, but...
You never really loved me, did you?
No.
I knew it.
At least you stopped stuttering, though.

That bastard mcintyre stole the election from me.
But I'm not really worried, I'll win the next one.
You broke my stuff.
Well, you should've been in your own home,
instead of off gallivanting.
Anyway, it doesn't matter, you're home.
No! It does matter.
I matter.
Hello, folks.
Bridget here from met eireann.
Yes, the heatwave is still going on.
Kildare is boiling.
Sure, I think you could fry an egg on the roof out there.
Water levels are dropping in the canals.
'Tis worrying.
If it goes on like this for much longer,
this place could be like the Sahara.
We hope not.
Don't use any water.
Thank you.
Mrs. Buckley, I have some bad news.
Nothing.
I'm fine, thank you, I'm all right, I'm all right.
There you have it.
What did I tell you?
Maeve, Maeve!
I brought you some soup.
You should probably eat something.
Don't touch my buttons.
You can talk?
Of course I can talk.
You've been lying there for hours, so...
Have I?
I thought you were...
You know.
Well, you thought wrong.
Well, I'm glad.
I'm glad that I was wrong.
Well, it wouldn't be the first time.
Well, if you ever need me, you know where I am.
He's never coming back, is he?
I don't think so, Maeve.
Dad's dead.
Bye-bye, pop.
Thanks for everything.
Have a nice afterlife.
Daniel?
Yeah?
Thanks for the soup.
Hey.
Oh, um...
Mr. Wolkenski's gone.
What?
He can't be gone.
He's run off with Faye McBride.
- Faye McBride? - Mm-hmm.
Wow.
I don't think he'll be coming back to work, ever.
He left you a letter.
Where did I put it?
I'll read. You'll never make out his scribble.
"Daniel, this is zoltan wolkenski.
You owe me 50 pounds."
Well, look, I was gonna quit anyway, so...
I'm looking for a new job.
Oh, well, I mean, you shouldn't have any trouble.
You're very good.
Thanks.
So, how did the dinner with your girlfriend go?
Oh, she's not my girlfriend anymore.
That's terrible.
Nah, but I don't think she was my girlfriend.
Well, some things are meant to be,
and some... aren't.
Listen...
Do you wanna go for a driving lesson?
I think I'm getting better.
You're ready for the test.

No, it's okay, don't bother.
