ext. pádraic’s house – dawn

The house in the lashing rain, as a cock crows and Pádraic awakes in the house.

int. pádraic’s house – dawn

Awaking to a dreadful hangover, and Siobhán not there, Pádraic goes to the kitchen, almost vomiting. He looks out at the miserable pouring rain.

int. shop/post office – dawn

Still raining outside, as Siobhán enters Mrs O’Riordan’s.

mrs o’riordan

Siobhán Súilleabháin, well well.

siobhán

I only came in for rashers, Mrs O’Riordan, I’ve no time to talk, I’m afraid.

mrs o’riordan

(a look)

A letter came for you.

Mrs O’Riordan hands her a stamped, green envelope. Siobhán notices it has already been carefully steamed open.

siobhán

Fell open, did it?

mrs o’riordan

Aye, in the heat, I suppose.

Siobhán glances at the cold rain pelting the window, then steps away from Mrs O’Riordan and reads the letter with her back to her, Mrs O’Riordan itching to talk about it.

mrs o’riordan

A job offer, is it?

Siobhán glances at her a second, then returns to the letter, infuriating Mrs O’Riordan no end.

mrs o’riordan

A job offer … from a library on the mainland, is it?

Siobhán quietly folds the letter away.

siobhán

Just the rashers please, Mrs O’Riordan. About ten of them.

Mrs O’Riordan stares, fuming, wrapping the rashers.

mrs o’riordan

You never tell me anything!!

Siobhán takes the rashers, and goes to head out.

mrs o’riordan

Well it’d crucify him, your leaving!

Siobhán stops in the doorway.

siobhán

No one’s leaving!

She continues out.
