91EXT. LUMBER MILL - NIGHT

Remmick in the center of concentric circles of vampiric Juke patrons, belts out a solo while The Juke Patrons cheer him on, Stack, Mary, Cornbread, and the others dance passionately, while Bert, Joan, and the other musicians play furiously (THE ROCKY ROAD TO DUBLIN).

JUKE PATRONS

Well, in the merry month of May

now from me home I started Left

the girls of Tuam nearly broken

hearted Saluted father d ear,

kissed me darling mother Drank a

pint of beer, me grief and tears

to smother Then off to reap the

corn and leave where I was born

Cut a stout blackthorn to banish

ghosts and goblins.

We reveal Remmick in the center of the semicircle conducting them, passion in his eyes.

Then- the song crescendos and Remmick begins to do an increasingly elaborate Irish step.

He’s overcome with emotion, it’s an experience he hasn’t had in centuries, the Juke Patrons sense this, and Stack and Mary begin to sing with more fervor, cheering him on.

STACK MARY

Played some hearty jigs, Played some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling the water round me bubbling When off Holyhead I wished When off Holyhead I wished meself was dead... meself was dead.

Remmick moving passionately, breaks free of the rigid upper body stance and begins to dance in the lost style, the Gaelic style, the style of the druid priests of his human time. His tears flow, and his arms swing through the night air unencumbered by the stunting shackles of the colonial gaze.
