Rebecca?
Uncle Brendan. It's so good to meet you finally.
Yeah, I wish it were under happier circumstances. How are you
holdin' up?
We're OK. It's Dad I'm worried about.
Does he know you called me?
Yes. He wants to see you.
Can I go in and see him?
Excuse me, this is my Uncle Brendan. He'd like to see
Yes, come in. He's resting.
Uh, I'd like to see him alone for a few minutes, if that's OK?
Yes. Of course.
I hope we did the right thing.
Kevin, are you all right? I'm worried about you.
I'll survive.
Do you wanna go get something to drink?
Naw.
I'm gonna go and say goodnight to Sandy. I'll be back.
Patrick? it's Brendan, your long-lost brother.
Oh...I can't believe it!
Rebecca called me. She told me you asked for me to come.
I'lad
It's been a long, I guess.
You know what we are? We're two pigheaded Irishmen, so stubborn
that we didn't talk to each other for almost thirty years. That's
not the way brothers are supposed to be.
You know what they say about us Irish short tempers and long
memories.
I'm ready to forgive and forget. How about you?
Where did Sandy go?
I don't know. I can't believe she took off.
What's wrong?
Looks like Jack's been beating Sandy up.
You've got to be kidding. Actually hitting her?
Yeah. You should see her face. She has a huge black-and-blue mark
right here.
That pig. He should have his face kicked in.
Kevin, don't talk like that.
This thing won't take my money. Do you have any change?
How much do you need?
Seventy-five cents.
Kevin, I'm sorry I yelled at you.
That's all right. That's It's all right.
Nurse! Hurry! Help!
What's wrong, Uncle Brendan? What's going on?
