:35:03
Get your head down.
:35:12
When I was a wee lad, I used to wonder
what you were doing under the towel.
:35:15
One day when you and Ma were out,
I got a big bowl of boiling water...
:35:19
whacked a big drop of Vick
and put the towel over my head.
:35:22
I sat there trying to figure out what it
was about 'cause nothing was happening.
:35:25
I figured you
must've been drinking it.
:35:27
So I stuck my tongue in it.
Do you remember that?
:35:33
How could I forget?
:35:35
And your tongue
swelled up like a football.
:35:39
Had to rush you to the hospital.
:35:41
First time you'd stopped
talking in your life.
:35:47
Give us that.
:35:49
I'll do your chest for you, Da.
:35:59
Was I always bad, was I?
:36:02
Not always.
:36:03
I don't deserve to spend
the rest of my life in here, do I?
:36:07
All they've done
is block out the light.
:36:09
They can't block out
the light in here.
:36:11
Listen.
:36:13
Every night...
:36:15
I take your mother's
hand in mine.
:36:17
We go out the front door,
into Cyprus Street...
:36:21
down to Falls Road,
up the Antrim Road...
:36:26
to Cave Hill.
:36:28
We look back down...
:36:32
on poor, troubled Belfast.
:36:37
I've been doing that every night...
:36:39
for five years now.
:36:43
As if I never left your mother.
:36:55
What I remember most
about my childhood is...
:36:57
holding your hand.
:36:59
My wee hand in your big hand.
