Movie Dialogue Sample
- And how do you know that?
258
00:31:25,629 --> 00:31:27,405
It just is, that's all.
259
00:31:28,351 --> 00:31:30,484
- There it is.
- Roan Inish?
260
00:31:30,701 --> 00:31:34,218
Aye. Isn't beautiful?
261
00:32:14,904 --> 00:32:16,008
Remember, Fiona?
262
00:32:18,006 --> 00:32:19,713
That was your house there, at that end.
263
00:32:22,094 --> 00:32:25,558
- Tess and I were next door.
- And ours was the one beyond.
264
00:32:29,186 --> 00:32:32,010
Right, we'll set
those pots and we'll be back.
265
00:32:32,535 --> 00:32:33,996
Don't wander too far.
266
00:34:57,791 --> 00:34:59,761
I wish you could talk to me.
267
00:35:44,505 --> 00:35:45,917
Fiona.
268
00:36:01,609 --> 00:36:03,670
Better be going while
the tide is still with us.
269
00:36:13,478 --> 00:36:16,673
- You miss it greatly?
- Roan Inish?
270
00:36:18,286 --> 00:36:20,436
Ah, it's only a place I suppose.
271
00:36:21,717 --> 00:36:23,638
Mostly I miss the way of life.
272
00:36:24,016 --> 00:36:27,611
Being surrounded by the
sea, whole family about you.
273
00:36:27,807 --> 00:36:31,419
I'm moving back, when I'm a man.
274
00:36:32,469 --> 00:36:34,751
You'll be a sorry sight
out there on your own.
275
00:36:35,096 --> 00:36:38,346
- Haunting the island, all on your lonesome.
- Oh no, I'll have a wife.
276
00:36:38,641 --> 00:36:40,283
But will she have you Eamon?
277
00:36:41,301 --> 00:36:45,487
Not many women these days see
much romance in hard work and solitude.
278
00:36:45,799 --> 00:36:47,931
I'm moving back just the same.
279
00:36:53,563 --> 00:36:55,722
Remember the evenings best.
280
00:36:56,042 --> 00:37:00,294
We'd drop over and your mother,
God rest her, would be laying out food.
281
00:37:01,854 --> 00:37:04,661
Your father smoking and
drying his feet by the fire.
282
00:37:06,341 --> 00:37:09,306
Then you Fiona and poor wee Jamie...
283
00:37:09,898 --> 00:37:12,524
off in the corner with
little pieces of dinnerware.
284
00:37:14,084 --> 00:37:15,807
Tea parties, it was.
285
00:37:17,055 --> 00:37:19,311
You were always a
great one for the tea parties.
286
00:37:27,806 --> 00:37:29,756
Someone is been in our old cottage.
287
00:37:30,564 --> 00:37:35,035
- Vandals, is it?
- No, someone is living there.
288
00:37:35,571 --> 00:37:38,362
- Don't be daft.
- I saw a footprint.
289
00:37:38,608 --> 00:37:42,761
- Footprint of a little boy.
- Why didn't you show it to us then?
290
00:37:43,212 --> 00:37:44,379
A wave destroyed it.
291
00:37:44,542 --> 00:37:48,006
Fiona, there's all sorts of things can
look like a footprint on the shore.
292
00:37:49,006 --> 00:37:51,551
I saw it. I did.
293
00:37:56,086 --> 00:37:58,479
- So you saw the island today.
- Yes.
294
00:38:03,006 --> 00:38:05,835
And the houses are in
a terrible state I suppose?
295
00:38:06,129 --> 00:38:08,403
They weren't so bad,
with a little bit of cleaning.
296
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,465
Ah, you're idle for
a week, nature takes it back.
297
00:38:12,826 --> 00:38:15,845
There'll be birds nesting
in the thatch and the chimney.
298
00:38:16,076 --> 00:38:18,500
Creepy, crawly things in every corner.
299
00:38:18,900 --> 00:38:22,725
It wasn't so bad, our old cottage
looked as if we left it a day ago.
300
00:38:22,755 --> 00:38:26,336
Was sand in everything blowing off the beach.
301
00:38:26,508 --> 00:38:27,901
It was clean though.
302
00:38:28,989 --> 00:38:32,721
And the mornings and the mist on the water.
303
00:38:34,856 --> 00:38:36,038
We could move back.
304
00:38:36,301 --> 00:38:38,533
Grandfather said it's the best fishing.
305
00:38:38,943 --> 00:38:41,077
Oh child, I couldn't think of it.
306
00:38:41,958 --> 00:38:44,951
I've only the picture in my
mind of your poor little brother...
307
00:38:45,755 --> 00:38:46,953
floating away.
308
00:38:48,316 --> 00:38:52,715
The only real tragedy in life is young
people passing on before their time.
309
00:38:53,683 --> 00:38:55,522
I always remember his eyes.
310
00:38:56,495 --> 00:39:00,857
Dark they were, with
a great soul behind them.
311
00:39:02,039 --> 00:39:04,567
Oh, he was here before.
312
00:39:06,110 --> 00:39:07,506
Jamie.
313
00:39:09,656 --> 00:39:12,070
Tess, don't start.
314
00:39:14,285 --> 00:39:15,352
Right.
315
00:39:28,527 --> 00:39:32,879
One and a quarter pounds, to the grain.
316
00:39:33,278 --> 00:39:36,404
You're a mean, penny pinching creature Flynn.
317
00:39:36,676 --> 00:39:38,892
Fiona darling, you have me purse.
318
00:39:44,654 --> 00:39:47,888
- Is this the granddaughter then?
- It is.
319
00:39:48,808 --> 00:39:53,732
- She isn't one of the dark ones, is she?
- Mind your own business Flynn.
320
00:39:54,536 --> 00:39:57,120
You wait here darling while I
go and fetch your grandfather.
321
00:39:57,150 --> 00:39:58,383
I could get him.
322
00:39:58,47
