:46:03
-You know?
-l thought you were an expert.
:46:05
l haven't done family law in 20 years.
l've only a working knowledge.
:46:10
You mean you don't know what you're
talking about? Can't you read some books?
:46:14
lt's not quite as simple as that.
lt's a very tricky area.
:46:17
We've still got the problem that everyone's
terrified of taking on the Establishment.
:46:22
What was the name of that guy
that lectured us about family law?
:46:26
-Remember? The real character.
-Tom Connolly.
:46:28
There was a Connolly who played rugby
for lreland until his cartilage went.
:46:32
l think he did a bit of law in his spare time.
Would that be him?
:46:36
Gentlemen, l'm flattered by your attentions,
but l retired two years ago.
:46:41
ln short, l can no longer face
speaking in court.
:46:44
Sir, you wouldn't have to speak in court.
Mr. Barron here will do all the speaking.
:46:49
But frankly, sir, he needs your help.
:46:52
My family law is so rusty.
:46:55
Even if you could just come on board
as a consultant.
:46:59
l'm sorry to say this to you, Mr. Doyle.
:47:03
But they'll put forward the best people
to put the case for the State.
:47:08
The best that money can buy.
:47:11
That's why they hated me.
:47:13
l wouldn't be bought.
:47:15
l believe that if there is a God,
He'll step in to help us.
:47:22
l'm touched by your faith.
:47:26
This is the only Holy Spirit
l've found to be of any practical assistance.
:47:31
Slainte.
:47:39
You were a big hero to me as a boy,
Mr. Connolly.
:47:42
To my dad, too.
:47:43
He took me to all your games.
You see that photo there?
:47:47
l was at that game.
The one where you got injured.
:47:50
That was the beginning of the end.
:47:52
When that big brute of a fullback
did my cartilage in.
:47:55
He was English, of course. The bastard.
:47:59
Still, before l left the field...
