Butterflies all having fun - You know what I mean - [MOANING] You alright? [MARY] Robert, darling.

Let's say hello later.

We need to go to the airport, pick up Granny Kettle.

- Daddy! Daddy! - Fucking hell! - Patrick! - I wanna go horse-riding, I wanna go horse-riding! Sorry.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, Thomas.

[THOMAS] Oh, okay.

Oh, I was only just dropping off.

I've been awake half the night.

- And now it's time to get up.

- [GROANS] I thought we were on holiday? So did I.

But we've been up since five, haven't we, Thomas? Right.

We're off to the airport to fetch my mother.

- Mm.

Don't rush back.

- [CHUCKLES DRILY] Well, there's lots to do.

Open all the windows, air the place.

And you ought to finish the unpacking.

That'd be helpful.

- [GRUNTS] - Thomas.

Robert, airport! [THOMAS] Robert, airport! [SIGHS] [SHOUTING IN DISTANCE] [GUITAR STRUMMING FAINTLY] - [GUITAR STRUMS] - [MAN] Yeah! [MUSIC PLAYS] [SINGER GRUNTS LYRICS] [CLATTERING] [GUITAR STRUMMING] - Seamus.

- Patrick! I thought I heard your car last night.

Welcome back.

Eleanor cannot wait to see you.

Oh, sorry, this is Kevin.

- Annette.

- Hey, Patrick.

We were just discussing how wonderful your mother is, to let the Foundation make use of your beautiful home.

Amazing woman.

She's helped so many people to connect.

- With what? - With other realities.

Yes.

Well, meanwhile, back in this one, I opened my wardrobe this morning to find so many copies of Way Of The Soul, they were getting in the way of the shoes.

"Way of the shoes.

" Genius.

It's actually a better title: reminding us to keep our feet on the ground.

Do you think these signs of institutional life could be removed when we're here on holiday? In August, this is our family home.

Of course.

I apologize.

These leaflets on reiki workshops and healing circles are entirely lost on us.

And this board, while an attractive cork, is yours, not ours.

I'll take it to my cottage.

- You mean my mother's cottage? - Where she lets me stay.

For how long? I thought you were going back to Ireland.

No, I'm here for the whole summer.

You won't even know I'm here.

[BIRDSONG] [SWALLOWS] [SIZZLING] [GLASS CLINKS] [CLAUDINE] Monsieur Melrose? Bonjour, Claudine.

Comment Va ma mère? Si vous voulez la voir, Elle vous attend.

[DOOR OPENS] [DOOR CLOSES] [SHE MUMBLES] I want you to know that I'm very unhappy at not being able to communic Yes.

- That must be horrible.

- [SLURRED] Yes.

Horrible.

Yes.

But I am brave.

[SHE MUTTERS] Er the others are at the airport picking up Mary's mother.

They're all very keen to see you.

Only when you feel up to it, of course.

And Thomas has grown, as you'd expect.

Are they Er - Thomas - What's this? is like me.

I'm sorry, I'm just trying to Good flight, Kettle? Hello, Patrick.

No, hideous.

There was an awful woman next to me who was terrifically proud of her breasts and kept sticking them in her child's face.

[MARY] It's called breastfeeding.

Thank you, darling.

I know it's all the rage but when I was having children the clever woman was the one who went to the party looking as if she'd never been pregnant, not the one with her breasts sticking out.

- Daddy, I'm coming! - At least not for breastfeeding.

Robert, will you show Granny to her room? Patrick? [GLASS CLINKS, HE EXHALES] Goodness, you're drinking.

Temporary measure.

It's been a while.

She's really outdone herself this time.

From the solicitor's, care of my mother, if "care" is the right word.

I've been disinherited.

What? She's signing the house over to this joke charity.

Nothing to us, nothing to our children.

Patrick, that's awful Oh, and she wants me to check for loopholes, make sure the whole thing runs smoothly.

It's not enough to be disinherited, she wants me to chip in with the paperwork! - Did she say why? - Took her half the morning, but apparently she wants "to do good".

She wants to help people.

Anyone, really, just as long as they're not fucking related to her! - Not so loud.

- She seeks "closure" and "my validation".

That bastard Seamus might as well be whispering in her fucking ear! - Darling, you're ranting.

- I have to rant! She was always a lousy mother.

But I hoped she might take a holiday from that towards the end of her life, feel that she'd achieved enough by way of betrayal and neglect and that now it was time for her to take a break and play with her grandchildren.

You know what frightens me the most is how much I loathe her! When I read the letter, I tried to loosen my collar so I could breathe and I realized it wasn't my collar, it was actually a noose tightening around my neck.

A noose of loathing! [MARY] She's not going to change now.

She's a frightened woman [PATRICK] I know! I know.

What do I loathe, then? I loathe the poison dripping down from generation to generation.

And I'd rather die than inflict the same thing on our children.

That won't happen.

Not if we don't let it.

- [PATRICK SIGHS] - But please don't drink.

For us.

[HE SNIFFS] [INSECTS CHIRPING] [SNIFFS] [GLASS CLATTERS] She's giving it all away? To the charity, yes.

Strange kind of charity.

[VEHICLE APPROACHING] [MUSIC PLAYS ON CAR STEREO] [MARY] Robert.

Go and say hello.

[MUSIC OFF] I'm only telling you in case - [WOMAN] Patrick! - Patrick seems a little off.

So he should be! It's so lovely here.

- [PATRICK] You found it.

- Yes.

Oh, it's good to be here.

Who's this now? I told you, it's Patrick's friend Julia.
