PADRAIC and cows pass on the road behind COLM.
PADRAIC
Just bringing me cows past.
COLM
Hah?
PADRAIC
I was just bringing me cows past. I
wasn’t, y’know, trying to...
COLM
You don’t usually bring them this way.
PADRAIC
I don’t, but then the little fella took
a fright at a hen on the corner, so...
(pause)
Were you playing your music?
COLM
Trying to, aye.
PADRAIC
Composing! Nice. I only... heh! I only
just saw what month we changed to
yesterday.
COLM looks at him blankly.
PADRAIC (CONT'D)
More fool me!
Still nothing.
PADRAIC (CONT'D)
Changed to April.
(pause)
So, will I be calling for ya on me way
to the pub later?
COLM just rubs his eyes with his hand, disconcerting PADRAIC.
PADRAIC (CONT'D)
I will so! Anyways I’d better chase
after these goons for they’re...
they’re running away from me! Maybe
they don’t like me no more neither!
Heh! I’ll see you at two, so, Colm!
PADRAIC hurries after his cows. Once he’s far away he looks back at COLM, who, disturbingly, still has his hand over his eyes.
