:44:01
Actually, l'm lrish.
:44:03
l was born and reared in Kilkenny
till l was 9.
:44:06
Then we emigrated to the States
and l subsequently came back here...
:44:09
to study law at UCD.
:44:11
So, he's qualified to plead in lrish courts.
:44:14
Does my being a Yank bother you?
:44:17
Not at all. l like Yanks.
:44:19
Most of them were lrish
to begin with, anyway.
:44:22
But l can't afford to pay you fancy money.
:44:25
l'm not doing this for the money.
:44:28
You'll just have to raise enough
to cover our costs.
:44:32
Right.
:44:34
l really appreciate your help, so l do.
:44:39
We'll do our best for you.
:44:40
-Right. Cheerio.
-Cheerio.
:44:46
-We'll do our best?
-We're in this together, my friend.
:44:50
Do you think l'll take this on
with any other solicitor?
:44:53
We have no chance.
l don't know why you're taking it on.
:44:55
Because l know what he's going through,
through no one's fault but my own.
:44:59
l lost my own kids in that divorce.
:45:02
-You don't realize what we're up against.
-l do realize what we're up against.
:45:08
What possible chance
do you think you have?
:45:10
You and Mr....
:45:12
-Mr. Doyle.
-Mr. Doyle, here.
:45:15
A painter and what? Decorator?
:45:18
Master tradesman, to you.
:45:21
Apart from anything else,
it will be prohibitively expensive.
:45:24
Only if we lose.
:45:26
-You'll lose, Mr....
-Beattie.
:45:29
You'll lose, because
if you were to win this case...
:45:33
the whole basis of family law
would be undermined.
:45:37
And believe me, gentlemen,
that will not be allowed to happen.
:45:40
We thank you for your advice, Mr....
:45:43
Shall we?
:45:52
By the way, Minister...
:45:56
your paintwork's shite.
:45:59
What we really need
is an expert in family law to keep us right.
