01x03 - On Children

[bunniefuu]

The following programme contains

strong language and adult humour.

Your children are not your children

They are the sons and the daughters

of Life's longing for itself

They come through you

but they are not from you

And though they are with you,

they belong not to you

You can give them your love

But not your thoughts

They have their own thoughts

They have their own thoughts

You can house their bodies

But not their souls

For their souls dwell

in the place of tomorrow

Which you cannot visit,

not even in your dreams

You can strive to be like them

But you cannot make them

just like you

Strive to be like them

But you cannot make them

just like you

You can give them your love

But not your thoughts

Ugh, shut up, f*ck.

They have their own thoughts

They have their own thoughts

You can house their bodies

But not their souls

For their souls dwell

in the place of tomorrow

Which you cannot visit,

not even in your dreams

You can strive to be like them

But you cannot make them

just like you. ♪

Hi.

Hey, Wendy.

Thanks.

Future 87 ♪

It all happened by accident

Bodies without names

intersecting planes

Of their stranger vector veins

Europe is incontinent

Philip's still alive. ♪

An Dobhar-chu is no dog

he is of An Dagda,

and I am the Dagda.

Uncage an Dobhar-chu!

He has just dug his way

from Dungarvan!

Thanks.

And this afternoon?

Er, 70% chance of drizzle.

Consistent. Good,

we could use an easy first week.

And maybe a bit of wind.

Can I ask you something?

You have been.

This morning's our first shot,

- which is kind of a bit deal.

- Yeah.

Is it customary for

the lead producer to give a speech?

A speech?

Well, not a speech per se,

more of a welcoming message,

a bit of a failte,

if you know what I mean?

I really don't, er,

but I look forward to it.

Which one's his trailer?

Opposite the honey wagon.

Delightful.

Oh, hold your horses!

Me lad's half out.

Oh sh*t. I'm sorry! sh*t!

sh*t! I thought

you said he was expecting me?

Well, I presumed you'd still knock.

What did you say your name was?

I don't think I did.

Oh, I'm so sorry about that,

I almost had your eye out.

It's OK. It's totally my fault,

our fault, totally.

I know we've spoken on the phone,

I just wanted to say hello

and, er, good luck in person.

Oh, it's all good, boss.

Eh, I'm just delighted to be here!

You know,

it's such a privilege to be able

to tell the story of my people-

They're asking for you

at production, Miss Patterson.

Well, we couldn't be happier

to have you on board, James.

Big Jim's fine, actually.

That's what folk call me.

Fits me well, no?

Er, OK. Big Jim it is.

They're saying a production truck

got into a minor scuffle with

- a country lane.

- Yeah.

Um

Well, we can catch up properly later.

I think they're setting

a cast dinner for this week,

just looking for a decent restaurant.

Well, I love to eat out.

Big bush apparently

OK, could you Um

Anyway, er, have a great first day,

break legs and sh*t,

and if you need anything-

I'll ring your bell!

No bother.

Don't worry, he's pulled out!

Just in time, prick.

"I'll ring your bell"

You f*ck' stupid fake.

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday to you

Aww, is it homemade?

Happy Birthday

..would you feck off

Happy Birthday to you. ♪

Ah, happy becoming an adult day,

Jo-Jo.

No singing from you this morning?

That was my gift.

We could've waited till later,

my shift starts in twenty.

Come on, blow out your candles

so we know you're still single.

Aw.

Christ, how many frogs

does a girl have to kiss?

It won't stop me trying.

Ah, come here.

Eighteen years old,

it's not possible!

If you weren't in a hurry, I'd cut

you in half and count your rings.

Actually, when are they

- starting filming here?

- Er, today.

Oh, so I presume they're not

commandeering our place

to house their crew then?

In their hole they are.

I told them about my circumstances,

then I didn't hear another peep.

Nice to be able to use

your chair as a crutch sometimes.

It is actually, Sonny.

Ah, hold on a minute,

how can they start filming today

when they haven't told you whether

you got that wee part or not?

That isn't a good sign.

Those scenes don't film for ages.

I do have my second

call back later though.

Ah, but we're still doing a proper

surprise cake and the balloons

and all that sh*t

at the White Ridge?

I wouldn't miss it

for the world, Daddy.

Right, Keith McCurdle makes us sing

his favourite Celine Dion song

when we're late for work,

and honestly, not today Jesus.

OK, I'll see you later on, love,

after my Folk Group, right?

With a slightly bigger cake.

Aye, later skaters.

Later.

Grazing In The Grass ♪

Morning!

Ok, pick it up!

Oh, there she is, aye.

Thank you.

Hello!

Hello.

Hello!

Good morning Fermanagh!

Oh!

Sorry.

It felt wrong to not mark

this auspicious day with a few words.

Why though?

Americans love giving speeches.

Stops them having

to listen to anybody else.

I don't think this is Can we

It's important that you know

Come on.

I grew up not far from here.

I recognise a few old,

friendly faces here and there.

Is that Colin Buckley?

Colm.

I'm sorry, what is that?

Colm.

One more time, Colin.

Colm Buckley,

the name's Colm Buckley.

Oh! Colm, like Gollum!

If you like.

Well

Take it easy, will ya?

It is great to see you again, Colin.

I'm Dermot.

Excuse me?

I'm Dermot Buckley,

my older brother's Colm.

Oh, Jesus Chris, Gollum.

Never met a Colin Buckley though.

And there's Barbara the Baker!

I'm a butcher, actually.

Right, the butcher.

Got there eventually.

Barbara the Butcher.

OK. Well to wrap things up then

break legs everyone!

I imagine in your game,

you deal with plenty of

pigs' heads, don't you, Barbara?

I do prefer the entire

creature to be used, yes.

Because it would be awful to see

the head of a local animal

used a grotesque prop in order

to gain foreign investment.

I-I'm in no position to, er

to-to say anything about Brexit.

I'm sorry, what's that?

Because I saw you make movements

with your little mouth

but all I heard was wind.

Barbara said she-she can't

guarantee every pig is local

due to current

food safety legislation,

but I suppose we could do a 23andMe,

if you have a swab with you?

And the head of the pig in question,

of course.

That what you said?

Aye.

I'm pleased we ended up in Drumban.

And while you

and the rest of your committee here

are welcome to visit our set

there will be zero tolerance

for anyone who compromises

the professional standards upon which

we've build this studio's good name.

Be they butcher, doctor

or f*cking candlestick maker.

No, we get the gist I think.

- Abandon ship!

- It's set, you moron!

Abandon set!

Hello, Wendy.

Dad, Christ!

Not quite.

I-I can't stay long.

I just wanted to see what was

causing our lovely, quiet road

to turn into a car park.

Er, and to see you, of course.

Well, here I am.

Nothing to worry about folks!

Just cos the earth is wet,

there's a small chance that

we're gonna get electrocuted

so we're asking people to move

to higher ground. OK.

Are you still on the same phone?

Er, yes I am,

and I just found the charger.

Well, shall we aim

to meet up later, maybe?

Do you swear now?

Pinky bloody promise.

Mm.

A few holes of golf

will do you the world of good.

You can't be staying here!

You can't You can't park here,

you're blocking everything!

Joanne?

Will you work this afternoon, eh?

It's like Gallipoli out there.

Er, I didn't want to make

a big deal about it,

but it's actually

my 18th birthday today so

I've got plans.

Look, I'll have you out of here

by 4:00,

but I need to man the forecourt.

They're sucking on the free air

machine like it's a commune.

Huh?

Alright, I'll move some things around

and I'll be back after lunch, OK?

You're a star.

Just chill out, Keith!

Don't touch that!

Right, and any snacks or drinks?

No car wash service, no?

Ah, we don't, I'm afraid,

but the rain is competitively priced.

Stick a Twirl on it, will you?

That damn pump's not

an all you can eat buffet!

Have some respect!

Sorry

Happy birthday.

Leave me alone!

You're gonna have to back up,

then you'll be able to come in.

You're Such A Good Looking Woman ♪

When God created

a woman for me

She's onto us Seamie,

no doubt about it.

You could smell

the knowledge off her.

Did she seem angry?

Well she accused Barbara the Butcher

of farting out of her own mouth.

What?!

Is the doctor here yet, Barry?!

She'll forget in a sec.

What? That she's old and sick?

Look, did Wendy happen

to mention my name at all?

Oh, she knows you're the brains

of the operation, no doubt.

Why do you think that?

Like, what did she say exactly?

She knows, course she knows.

She's wily.

Women like that,

they always just know.

You should've seen the boots

and jacket set on her,

pure class, the cow.

Ah, maybe we should

just disband the committee

to bring filming to Drumban.

It feels like

it's served its purpose

given they're actually

filming here now.

Are you mad?

We're way past the point

of jumping ship, pal,

we're in too deep for that.

Disband the committee?

It's like Al Capone saying

let's give up the crime-ringing lads

and set up a chain of nice florists.

Everyone will

forget the murders in time.

I've always wanted a florist.

Oh, shut up you, you dopey c**t.

Ca bhfuil an bloody doctor, Barry!

Anseo!

I arrived only now, Mrs Battles.

I'll just wash my hands,

and I'll be with you in a jiffy!

She's been getting

a lot of pain in her upper legs

been needing thorough

thigh massages most days.

Oh

Oh

Oh, ooh

Oh

I hope I'm not

being too firm, Mrs Battles?

Oh, oh

Massages aren't really my thing.

Oh, if you were being too firm,

I would've told you.

Oh, oh

I'll make some tea, so.

They found you, didn't they Seamus?

Oh, what a tool. I forgot to take

your blood pressure.

They were looking for you,

and they found you, clever yokes.

Not long now, so.

Could you make a fist, please?

Have you ever found it strange

that the white ridges

that encase our town

have no reason to be?

I'm afraid you've

lost me there, Betty.

No alabaster deposits

for hundreds of miles,

totally alien to the region.

Betty, who found me?

They need you, doctor.

And now they've found you,

all of you.

They're not done with

the Proctors yet, it would seem.

Who's not f*ck' done, Betty?

Milk or sugar?

Shush up, you dopey c**t.

That's my dopey c**t.

Thanks, Seamie.

Safe home now.

..You watch their eyes,

they're so surprised

They think you've fallen

out of heaven

And if you listen

to what they're talking about

They're talking about who's walking

about with an angel at his side. ♪

Jo Ann ♪

Jo Ann

Ah, ah-ah

Jo Ann ♪

Obviously, I'll let you finish

out the week. I'm not a monster.

You're firing me. In my condition?

I'm not firing you, Jules.

The position has become redundant.

You were assistant location scout.

We have scouted the locations,

good job us.

If I'd known this was the last

supper, I'd have ordered more.

Take this away, would you?

Look, there's still lots of

other work to be done,

like moving trucks when they're

blocking people’s driveways.

It doesn't take two of us, Jules.

Anyway, you can't even drive now.

Sounds like a disability

discrimination issue to me.

Excuse me?

How'd you banjax your foot?

Fell down a rabbit hole

on a location scout.

So you can't work

because you got injured at work,

so they're stopping

you from working at all?

That's brutal, that.

Our industry has different codes.

I have a cousin who slipped

operating the trollies

at the airport,

he lives in the Seychelles now.

Oh.

I love ya.

Sonny!

Joanne! Back.

I'll race ya.

You wanna see me race, do you?

I'm keeping up, aren't I?

It was the abductors.

What?

Er, Mr McStay's hips.

He just called, said he injured

himself doing hip abductor exercises

he saw on a daytime TV show.

Ah.

Right.

- Idiot.

- Mm.

Thanks, Sonny.

You think we'll actually

sh**t anything today?

No f*ck' chance.

Oh Christ, there's two of you now.

There's a lad here

claiming unfair dismissal

from the locations department.

Perfect. And what's the forecast?

Wind predictions have moved from

highly blustery to prolonged gusts.

Are we supposed to know

which one's better?

Couldn't tell you.

Are you f*cking kidding me?

Oh, Miss Patterson?

The lad that's gonna sue ya,

he's on the dining bus.

Sorry, you're the guy from locations?

Jules, yeah.

Oh, I love your boots.

That's really nice, Jules,

but am I right in thinking

that you just got fi-

Just got relieved of my position

because of potential discrimination?

Yep.

Don't worry though, it's not

the one you think.

Thank flip says you, huh?

No, Glenda felt she had to let me go

on account of me being unable

to do basic tasks

and the job itself

being already completed,

which is fair enough, I suppose.

Why did you just tell me that?

That statement basically just cleared

me of any legal responsibility.

Right.

I'm sorry Jules, I am up to my eyes,

and this feels like

it might be an HR issue, if that.

No worries. Safe travels.

I love the book, by the way.

What's that?

I'm just saying. Love my history.

So you like the book?

Oh, it's a barnstormer.

When I heard they were

making a show about it,

I quit my job at Dublin Zoo

and here we are.

And we just fired you?

Yeah. Bummer.

I'm still gonna watch

the show though, so make it good.

Can you drive, Jules?

I can navigate.

f*ck it. I need an assistant

that doesn't look like

they're sucking vinegar

every time I breathe air.

You're hired. You start today.

Will you just

turn on the feckin' pump,

you stupid bollock!

Right, two-two minutes folks. Sorry.

Ah, please help me.

Joanne here!

Sorry I can't answer your call,

I'm probably doing something

way more fun.

Come on lads,

a bit of movement around here!

The ball won't come to you,

you know!

Come on lads,

a bit of movement there!

PJ? Could I borrow young

Barry Battles for a second there?

Work away, I forgot he was here.

Seamie.

What's up? Is it Mammy?

No, your mammy's,

er, stronger than she looks.

I'm here to resign my position

as secretary on the committee

to bring filming to Drumban.

Effective immediately

and without recourse.

It's a conflict of interest issue,

Barry, if anyone asks.

I'm disappointed, Seamus.

What interests are in conflict,

if you don't mind me asking?

Well, you're interested

in me staying on board

and I have

no f*ck' interest in that.

What's he doing here?

Probably selling them wee girls

bags of petrol, knowing him.

Keith McCurdle on a GAA pitch?

What next? A united Ireland?

No, I'm looking for your Joanne.

Ah it's her birthday, Keith,

will you give her a break?

Didn't she do a shift

- this morning already?

- Aye.

She was supposed to do

a double shift,

but she never came back from lunch.

Good for her.

But Joanne told me

she was going back to work.

She wasn't delighted about it,

but she said she was

cos she reckoned Keith might cry

again or make her sing more ballads.

But she never came back, Seamie.

Her phone's been off for hours.

Maybe she's busy, girls.

On her 18th birthday?

Ah, there'll be a reason.

Joanne's always been

the responsible one in the family.

I know that, Seamie.

That's why I'm worried.

Yous two members?

This is Jules, my driver.

Aye, he's doing a grand job.

No weather for

hitting ba*ls, I'm afraid.

We'll meet you in

the clubhouse for a hot toddy.

Just need to change my soggy socks.

- OK.

- I'll mind the car.

Good luck.

You missed our crystal

wedding celebrations, Wendy.

We played foursome scramble.

Maude would love to have seen you.

Well, you missed my wedding,

so we're equal, I suppose.

No. No, you didn't get married.

But the fact that you

had to think about it

suggests we should keep

our expectations of each other's

ceremonial attendances

relatively low, don't you agree?

The frustrating thing

about you, Wendy

Oh here we go is that you've

really convinced yourself that

we're the reason you don't

come back here, haven't ya?

And you must know deep down

that simply isn't the case.

We tried.

We can only leave

the door open so long, Wendy.

I didn't know family homes

had opening hours.

Is that why you're home now?

To castigate us further?

God no. I'm home for the sunshine.

Well, you certainly brought it.

I'm gonna have a cigarette.

Yes, I sometimes still smoke, and no,

we're not gonna talk about it today.

Wendy?

These past few years, especially

since I've been in California,

I've done a lot of work on myself.

Well, it doesn't show.

Your face and everything

still look very natural to me.

On the inside, Dad.

My mental wellbeing,

my state of mind.

But that's not the point.

So, what is the point?

You didn't believe me.

This? What What is it?

Twenty years? More?

I was taken up there.

How was I supposed

to process that shite?

I came to you,

and you accused me of being drunk.

Well, you were drunk, darling.

That doesn't mean I was lying!

You feel I failed you.

All that preaching,

I come to you with the truth

and you shat all over it.

Wendy, I couldn't believe

what you said to be true

and also be an honest

servant of God.

Those things up there

they don't really

go very well with this.

But it doesn't mean

I didn't believe you.

No?

Those wee eyes of yours

never a lie in sight.

So, you did believe me?

If that wee girl believes

that she was taken away

by wee blue men,

then that is what happened. OK?

Well, that's not what happened.

I believe you, Wendy,

isn't that enough?

I believe you also.

And I believe

they come back here all the time.

Oh, why wouldn't they?

It's a lovely part of the world.

Exodus 23:9,

"You shall not oppress an alien,

for you know the heart of an alien,

seeing you were aliens

in the land of Egypt".

I'm not sure that's what that meant.

The other couples are here, Frank,

shall we pop back into the lounge?

You'll join us for a quick drink?

They'll be needing me back on set.

Oh, well,

we all have our crosses to bear.

I'm afraid, er,

Wendy can't join us this afternoon

as she's a big hotshot

in the films these days.

Good luck with the sh**t.

Thank you.

I saw you earlier, I think,

Roger from the Bank.

Oh, no, er,

I'm not with the AIB anymore,

not in the last 15 years now.

Roger isn't actually allowed

into a physical branch these days

on account of all the downright

nasty things they said about him

in the hearings about

the financial collapse.

Hearings, what's done is done.

Increasingly, people can't

seem to let things go.

We're enduring

an epidemic of grievance!

Ah, here, Reverend,

no talk of epidemics,

it'll make

your Astra Zeneca boil over.

Let me guess, anti-vax?

God no. I don't think

the Chinese are trying to k*ll us.

I do think

the British Monarchy is though.

Right.

Same way they k*lled Lady Diana.

I'd better be off

or I'll hit the Sligo rush hour.

And possibly Amy Winehouse.

And that's all folks!

f*ck' Looney Tunes.

Every f*ck' way you look.

And why does it not stop raining?

f*ck' temperate coastal climates.

Oh!

You're welcome back any time.

And never forget what I said.

We believe you.

The question is

why don't you believe us?

Open your mind, Wendy.

Don't let them

wash your little brain away.

Good to have a hobby at that age.

She wouldn't have left her phone

in a locker or something?

No, we got rid of the lockers

when the rats came back.

No answer.

No point leaving another message.

And your mother?

Well, she turns off her phone

at Folk Group, so myself and Shelly

are gonna head up to the school

and see if she knows anything.

What about her audition?

Didn't she have that

call back or something?

Maybe they cancelled

after they saw my audition.

Jesus Cliona.

What? That's what happens sometimes.

I was really good.

Well, it doesn't explain why

she was a no show in the woods.

It could be bitterness.

Girls. There'll be some good reason,

and we'll laugh about it

in the pub later.

I could go and check the woods,

see if she's-No.

Er

No, I'll take the woods.

Um, it's getting dark.

Thanks, girls.

sh**t day one down.

How'd we do on set?

Well, due to weather issues

and some faulty equipment,

we're maybe a day and a half behind.

We've only shot one day.

Yeah, yeah, everything went great.

Today was amazing.

Swung my sword a lot.

All of my dialogue went smoothly.

That sounds brilliant, Jimmy.

Done

I'm just

just on the phone to me sister.

Er, they've called it.

No filming today.

Hello?

Sorry.

Better luck tomorrow

- or the next day maybe?

- Jimmy?

Probably not.

Are you there?

Yeah, just great

to get a day under my belt.

Ah. yeah.

Anyway, how's that baby?

Ah she's great, Jimmy.

So proud of her movie star daddy.

I told ya it's only TV.

Was everything always this small?

You left school last year, Sonny.

Oh, I gotta take a whiz.

Er, I'll check the classrooms

this end if you wanna track down

my mother's f*ck group.

Folk Group I mean, sorry.

Joanne!

Joanne!

Joanne!

Joanne!

Joanne!

Wendy!

Proctor? Seamus Proctor.

Proctor? The doctor's son?

My daughter seems to think that

you two were abducted by aliens!

Seamie, tell him what happened.

Now, what do you think of that,

young Proctor?

I don't know

what she's talking about.

Well, so enough of this, Wendy!

If it's not one thing, it's another!

You think I'm lying?

You and your mother, you're both

living in a fantasy land!

It's getting late,

I'd better be off.

I'll see you about, Wendy.

Hello?

Finally.

Is this to do with you?

What?

Joanne is missing.

Are you behind it in some way?

Just tell me.

Have you been drinking, Seamus?

Sorry. Sorry, to disturb you,

it's just, er

Mrs Proctor, have you seen Joanne?

Er, yes, um, well,

I was talking to her earlier.

Why? What's up?

What's all the fuss, Sonny?

You've been in touch with Joanne?

Er, yes.

Er, I said yes. I mean, she's making

her way back from Enniskillen.

Oh, that's great. Um

Dad just thought maybe

something had happened to her.

Like what?

Can a girl not change her plans

without everyone losing their mind?

Hey, Shelly, it's Matt from maths.

Yeah, I know.

Sorry, I think maybe the film crew

being in town has made us

all a bit dramatic.

How's medical school going, Sonny?

Good, yeah, good thanks.

Er, we'll let yous all get back

to your beautiful tune, so.

Er, The White Ridge at 8:00.

Three, four

- What?

- I'm just saying sometimes

our minds can betray us,

someone told me that once.

Oh, so this is what, revenge?

Psycho.

It's not.

I'm not, just-

Did you cancel her audition?

Er, did I what?

Messing with me is one thing,

making the town

bend over backwards for production,

trying to take my home,

hinting sh*t to my wife,

fine, you're angry, but my daughter!

My daughter! What's wrong with you?

OK, take a breath,

Seamus, you sound insane.

I mean, I did do

those other things, but

I don't know where Joanne is,

I've been-

What if they're back, Wendy?

The things.

Joanne never has her phone off.

I'm always annoying her about it.

Obviously you're having

some anxiety issues.

You think I have issues?

You need help!

In California,

I did a lot of work on myself.

Well, it doesn't show.

Listen to me, Seamus

the key to receiving support

effectively

is first understanding

- how to ask for help.

- What

Do you know how to ask for help?

Help! Help!

That's good. You feel heard?

Ah, f*ck.

Has anyone seen my wee girl?

I'm only worried

I suppose because

cos she never has her phone off.

Ah, Noel

you know Joanne, don't you?

You tried to teach her the piano

but she has my sausage fingers.

I haven't seen Joanne today, Seamie.

She'll show up, I know she will.

Barry, you don't know sh*t.

I've been saying that for years.

It's only been a few hours, Seamie.

What has you so worried?

What about a drink and a sit down?

I'm worried because, er, you know

that expression "you'd never know"?

But that's for now,

because you'd never know.

I live by that motto.

Never know what, Seamie?

Well, you never know what might

appear out there,

in the woods from time to time.

- What?

- Seamie, are you sure

you don't want a settler?

Ulcer says no.

What-What might appear out

in the woods from time to time?

Well, things that might

take a person for a bit.

Joanne never has her phone off.

I'm always nagging her about it,

that's the funny thing.

Aye, that's the funny thing.

Take a person where, Seamie?

Um

Well, up into their um

Up in their

Up in their

er

Um, into their, er

um

spaceship

I suppose you might call it.

Are you referring to aliens,

Dr Proctor?

Seamie

were you taken?

Um

Er

Ah, f*ck.

I being pulled up, um

wasn't that scary,

maybe a wee bit

It was like falling

into water, warm

but I still remember

this sensation of waking inside it.

You know, it felt familiar

like waking up

at a house party but

at a stranger's place, hungover on

some communal stairs kind of vibe.

I didn't care for it that much.

But Wendy

Wendy seemed excited by it.

Giddy even.

I don't know

what they wanted with us

or if they even got it

but I want them

to stay away from my wee girl.

So, you were there too?

I don't know what he's talking about.

Maybe you were flying solo, Seamie.

What the f

Joanne! Oh how Where the

Jesus.

I'll have what he's having.

I checked everywhere.

Your phone!

I told Mum I was going

into Enniskillen to get a tattoo.

What?

Why didn't she tell me that?

Well, I didn't tell her

about the tattoo bit, obviously.

Oh

Ah

What is going on with me today?

Maybe when you were up there E.T.

took a piss in your brainbox.

Er, listen um I might go home

a bit early, darling.

My guts are at me a bit.

OK.

OK?

Alright.

You have a good night.

Er

f*ck.

Yes Sir, I Can Boogie ♪

Yes Sir, I can boogie

Dr Proctor has left

if that's who

you were looking for.

..boogie, boogie

All night long

Yes Sir, I can boogie ♪

Mm.

How was it?

There's cake, and it's in my hand.

That's always been my favourite too.

Mm.

You alright?

I feel a bit silly

to be honest, Joanne.

Me too.

One of the film people said that

actors don't really get tattoos

so that they can be blank canvases.

To go with their blank heads?

Do you wanna see it?

Go on then.

Given all the grief its caused,

let's have a look.

Proctor.

I'm a right sucker

for that Crucible.

That's my name.

Aye.

Our name, Daddy.

You make sure

you clean that properly.

I get a lot of teenagers

back from their holidays

with tr*mp stamps like stigmata.

Aye, I'll take care of it, Daddy.

Proctor

That's a goody.

Your children are not your children

They are the sons and the daughters

of Life's longing for itself

They come through you

but they are not from you

And though they are with you,

they belong not to you

You can give them your love

but not your thoughts

They have their own thoughts

They have their own thoughts

You may house

their bodies but not their souls

For their souls dwell

in the place of tomorrow

Which you cannot visit,

not even in your dreams

You can strive to be like them

But you cannot

make them just like you

Strive to be like them

But you cannot make them

just like you

Your children

are not your children
