A NIGHT IN NOVEMBER (marie Jones DubbelJoint Productions) PART TWO

better noticed I fitted into the normality just like the soldiers and then this Sudden Rush inexplicable anger but those soldiers they look more at home here than me and this is my C what was I saying I then I started to laugh to [Laughter] myself you know Jared if my wife could see me now should have a bit yeah I've never been up here before in my life well I've never been where you live in my life funny is it yeah weird and we drove inside can we say funny weird that's what was said oh could two men who had worked together for 15 years who met on the golf course and yet we were two Jen stranger H weird do you want to come in here for a beard py oh great Jerry I had pictured Jerry's house in the head well it couldn't be up to much I thought he did live in West Bast and we had grown up with the picture of Filth and deprivation and graffiti and too many kids and not enough soap well there was bigger than mine was detached for the garage and the lawn was strewn with bicycles and scooters and toy tractors and life not like ours manicure to the last bade to the unwritten rule in our house bicycles and scoters forbidden except on the concrete provided cold gray concrete especially l so the kids wouldn't ruin the grass the grass was for sure concrete can be scrubbed clean huh and inside Jerry's house was a whole life I have never known a life of disorder books upside down in the bookshelves but not in not in size or shape or color well in our house only properly B books went on show Deborah's order from the book club burgundy leatherbound Classics never read unop but the suit the bookshelf the match the wallpaper the blend in with the carpet books that can never be allowed to BU just like the fitted kitens I once tried to order a couple of paperbacks from the book club stepen King and Deborah said oh no Kenneth we not could have spend all that money on something that would have to be hiding away I accepted that of course I accepted it and then know the were in Jerry sa PS and P of books books that look red had dog ears books of all shapes and sizes and I was jealous of Jerry in his disordered life and all was pigley pickley books I'm afraid I can't offer yet anything to eat tonight can I I have to get me own and I'm sure you you want to wheel around while I sat far to it is your is your wife not here theight then jar no she's uh she's left me not here in the kitchen table she's taking a notion to take the kids the pictures have to get me own what Freedom wonderful unpredictability and then at the bottom of the note which just straight my eyes to see which Jerry didn't bother to read out love you a note from his wife that he sees every day every night the mother of his five kids love you why should Jerry bother to read that out h i mean that's a fact it's UNS spokenness taken his man but she's still right just to make sure that Jerry knows then Jerry do right Jerry will never need to get accepted into the golf club cuz Jerry is loved by his wife tell Tales all go wrong from IND where time why I drank the beer on a left I didn't want to go home I didn't want to be there and Deborah got back from aics the woman that I have fallen in love with had vanished into the perfect T by 10 square of art designed life bound to the burgundy unopen classic in the scrub concrete and me the man she had fallen [Music] in to loyalty and Order nothing are you from the branch Mister what are you looking for tights or something I had driven from Jerry's house to East Belfast to the house where I was born where I had lived until the mother and father could escape from the smell of poverty and people just like themselves striving for the day they could move and close their door at all see for the day when they could get venician blinds so that they could close them and nobody could ever look in on their lives or judge them ever again oh they could Judge Jerry and His Kind from behind the secrecy of the pl bicycles and scooters scattered over the lawn that meant slob liness a pile of jumbled up books meant no Pride or dignity in your lives and a wife that said cook your own tee that meant low life for its lowest and all of this man second class filth scull hit I grew up believe the kid had weled his bicycle up to the driver's window and he was aing itting himself against the the car and poking his we face in the M no I'm not the branch I used to live around here number 34 well if you're not the branch what are you doing right here just thinking do you live right here what over there my dad was born in the street you know so is his M oh what's your dad's there he's dead might that was a hero he got killed trying to blow up a fan pu see when I'm his age I'm not going to get killed I'm not going to miss some that what was your D Norman Dawson is photos up on a wall a club he's dead famous have you any money on you mister gave him 50 p in the left this T just driving away I had to get away I had to get away into the com side away from people in their Liv I had to think I had to think about Norman Dawson dead I sat looking into the river laging and I thought of Norman da and I knew I couldn't go on pretending that I lived in the middle of England the river was dark and SL I tried to see the bottom of a years of s Moss pollution made it impossible one time it was clear crystal clear but never again me and Norman were me Norman wanted to be a soldier join the Army he was obsessed with killing Indians I was always a sheriff I enjoyed locking the mon and torture Norman always wondered him dead one day they stopped being Indians and they became fans the Norman stopped being a cowboy and he became a UD commander and his dad's combat Jack and I became a special Branch man in my dad's sunglasses we would play in Norman's house his dad would laugh and encourage us yeah how many fions you kill a day Norman son so did get on some I tortured him so did Mr Dawson I give him some [ __ ] here shut up that I give him I gave him some Jeet and then I tortured him we used to camp in his M's backyard 2 ft away from the outside toilet used to that side by side I knew every frackle on woman's face every blackhe on his nose we used to C them when we were bored with for maybe Norman was just waiting for the day when he really could have somebody to kill Norman wasn't a freak he wasn't a loner a Nutter his photograph is up on the wall of the club and all the other Norman bosses who do it and get away with it they're healed and they become Heroes was I saved from being Norman Dawson just by moving away the the respectability a couple of exams and a job that Norman hav were we that different I mean I believe the same as Norman but we were civilized we just couldn't dirty our hands killing fions so let we let Norman Dawson do it for us and we to toted in disgust and scurried back into the 10 by 10 and whenever thought of Norman Dawson or his victims ever again you're home late tonight kth yeah I gave Jerry a left home then and had a few beers with him he did what you heard are you guys going away up there what was this house like oh big big hi big like big is this beggar beggar what you mean detached yeah I wonder how they managed that what was his wife like oh she wasn't in she took a notion to take the kids the pictures left them a note told them to get his own tea techical sure he's well used to that sort of behavior you de I think he is disgusting after a man does a day work was it tidy no D wasn't pain you see they dragged themselves out of the gutter and then when they do get good houses they let them go to rack and Ru well is it any wonder kouth is what any Wonder D is it any wonder that they don't deserve anything you don't mind ever I think I'll go and cut the lawn before it gets dark I hear her I hear my wife so much because she echoed what I have always thought so I hear it myself up to that night in November I had put up on myself accepted myself but what does a man do when he loes himself [Applause] stay here yeah I want to TR [Music] [Music] [Music] some and [Music] [Music] that [Music] [Music] [Music] TR never [Applause] very of course the [Applause] wanted to see me Jerry ah can can yes come in come in yeah look um I've been a bit worried about you can well you've been looking terrible this past way back I'm all right Jerry honest you can talk to me you know that can only Jerry knew how much I wanted to talk to him but years of training of keeping yourself to yourself was a hard havoc the break it's nothing Jerry I mean work gets you down sometimes too doesn't it I know what you mean sure you'll get your holidays soon can are you going anywhere yeah um Deborah's mother's Caravan in B Halbert go every year so that sounds nice you going anywhere yourself CH America I can hardly will to tell you I'm counting the days world C playing remember oh I say there won't be an American accent I heard in New York the week of the matches it's going to be like the poop's visit we are the pop but then I'm sure B Halbert would be good crack to it'll cost you a packet joh oh no my wife sister lives in New York so we've got somewhere to stay it's your wife going too that was her idea oh she's m I kept Cali can't afford it but she ignores me next thing I know is she has a tickets booked in the kids arrang inste I we're going to change the car but she said the hell wheel where's a cracken [Laughter] n does your wife like football J T she can't stop it she just wants to see AR she couldn't car it was Bob slam just as long as I you you never like all the crack is going with something else yeah and then just do the blue I asked him Jerry why do you still live up there what oh you don't think I'd be in nosy or anything it's just that well it's been on my mind I mean well like the place is crawling the soldiers Oh you mean why did I not just buy myself out when I had the chance I suppose I feel safe up there and I'm not sure we anywhere else I like the people oh I know it's that idea going to work in the morning tripping over two Squad bodyes crouched in your driveway and then you see your kids running past and munching their toast sometimes but to see those scared eyes looking up at me I want to say look this is bloody ridiculous when you come out from underneath my r d bushes they great L and you're dressed in [Laughter] cocking did you know that they have been told we're the anime Len your prayer just I can stop seeing them after a while you know like living beside a railway line you stop heing the trains but I still see them thank God thank God I suppose when I stop seeing them mean oh here kind I it's all right thanks and uh you know [Music] thanks I went back to my desk in a th yeah yeah perhaps those squaddies underneath his mood at the ous are ridiculous how can I say that to anybody I knew and then I started to feel envious of Jer envious that he had the freedom to support irand and I was jealous of that freedom jealous that he had something that he believed in I live in the same country and I'm scared to say I am him for me it's dangerous talk for him it's just wide and wonderful crack I started to watch the news I wanted to know what was happen every night there was speculation on this Downing Street declaration but what was this possible Peace Hope possible change couldn't it wouldn't it and then the Hoover would go on she always put the Hoover on the politics were mention look the news is on on the floor is not even dirty she can't hear me the Hoover's on I was always a g when I was grown up as a kid anytime the news come off my M used to grab for the brush automatic reaction keep brushing keep cleaning keep your head down don't listen everything will be all right we have been protected by dusters and hoers and kenth you're in a word of your own sitting there when you put the Cris in the bowls I have these B ons to fill my God

things I engrossed in the news yes sir sorry we're not quite ready well haven't seen you two since the Declaration what do you think paing what the Declaration you know the dining Street declaration the peace process everybody's talking about or what do you think what don't be talking aing about politics cany she hasn't got a [Applause] clue oh but I do have a clue St and I know that they can declare all the world but it smacks of sell out to me and our politicians would never allow that to happen happen so at the pointless exercise but enough of all that that we are here to enjoy ourselves no Ken I have a little present for you because I know that this little celebration isn't just to mark your birthday it's also to Mark the fact that you have managed to get into the golf club so I thought I would mark it with these Stuart I held them speechless I didn't know whether to laugh or scream there the were before my eyes a set of knitted Golf Club covers with pom poms on red white and [Applause] blue Golf Club helmets to keep my golf club warm inst pom pom finished off with exact rounded fringed edges each little Fringe exactly the same length as the next thousands of them this must have taken off PA's mother's whole week terrific polling just what I wanted condoms for my golf club yeah I I was getting a bit worried about my it and my poter out there in the green I getting a bit too close for comfort I said I knew Hy P you sex one running about now do she wasn't amused Stuart was though he likes a dirty joke he called me aside to tell me another one yeah can do you hear the one the two nuns in the bath one says where's the soap and the other one says it does doesn't it and then under the corner of my eye I see falling D into the kitchen to wallow in my wife's unforgivable crime of failing to fill her vones with mushrooms before 8:00 I thought to myself tonight tonight you might as well be hung for a sheep as a mushroom [Music] ah welcome do come in everybody yeah come on ahead glad you could join me yeah help me celebrate 34 years of being an [ __ ] then I am in the right company aren I laughs all around they don't think I'm serious I would like to ask you if any of you were embarrassed by the football match that took place between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland confused looks all around no I probably didn't take it on your nose me why should any of us be interested or concern that Ireland are through to the World Cup most of us here aren't really interested in football Are we more laughs polite but slightly nervous well let me tell you what you missed because it was one of those nights that is hard to forget Deborah's bivor has stopped in midair yes we're all respectable people in this room and I'm sure if you witness what I witness heard what I heard you would be as ashamed as me of course you would nobody's Laughing Now dry embarrassed coughs and Shuffling from foot to foot hands reaching for crisps in an attempt to appear casual a crisp falls on the floor de clocks it yes you would all T to to this disgusting and ugly display of bigotry you might even have been a bit embarrassed but were you asham no I didn't face is that because we can ignore those nasty low lives has not being a part of us and what we vote for the man who F the patr the H what do we throw our hands up in horror when we hear of another loyalist murder committed by the man who fight kill for oler don't we share with them Lord Carson's Legacy I mean don't we still believe that this is ours mean this is our state and we must never give an itch and don't they don't they believe like us that we have to keep the dirty fion down oh it's all right not to employ them all right not to let them into the golf club all right to screw up their bits what would you do if you don't have the luxury of discriminating nicely and clean what do you do if you're a nobody and you still want to be part of Carson's great Army and I'll tell you you do what my friend Norman do something she tried to wipe them out and the only way you know hi what do you think so horrify are you horrified that you might be compared to the ugly bloodthirsty barbarians don't they aren they carrying out Carson's orders aren't they defending the Legacy a legacy left them nothing they're defending it for us so we can sit back and enjoy it so come on let's have the decency to support them but if you can for Christ's sake let's come out and have the balls to condemn them and condemn not just what they do but why they're doing it the silence was unbearable I could feel a pair of eyes boring into me cold hard eyes that froze me to the spot felt like I was jammed in the pupils and that if they blinked I'd be pulverized it was falling you are British and you should be ashamed of your yourself Paul you are dead [ __ ] right I am needless to say after that terrible night in April we had very few phone calls from our friends word traveled fast that Kenneth had lost his Marvels and that he was being brainwashed by Catholic Workers in a d h SS I still checked underneath my car when I was more afraid of my own people deah and I barely spoke or what a strangers say to each other suppose they F the price of beer the weather then those things are just a bit ridiculous when the strangers are living in the same house sharing the same bed the same children I had gone too far said too much I am British and I should be ashamed of I so here I am on the island of Ireland we told to be ashamed for questioning our right cion like it's like we are living in the top of a bloody great house and we think we have got the best room so we'll keep ourselves locked in won't open the door even the let in fresh air and the air in the room is still can we breathe this air decade after decade year after year day after day it's still air but we are see can steal air your golf club fees are due kenth don't forget this was how we continued Our Lives we spoke when necessary we exchanged relevant information we talked a lot of the kids to cover the silences and at night the the UNL R whoever goes to bed last make sure that the other ones asleep before entering this it was bearable this wasn't just an ordinary marital argument that could be patched up in a day or two when the heat died down this was beyond this was obsolute couldn't bear to deal with Jerry was full of chat one day at work only two weeks to go C New York here we come oh the say going to be 20 jumbo Jets leaving double airport that day the reckon of more people leaving Ireland that day than did during the farming the SC of party from start to finish I can't wait what if the don't win sis why did that ever stop us having a party the attitude will be with didn't win but could so that's party to celebrate the fact that we could have won we hav l know what I mean jery wouldn't keep going on about America can't bear it your golf club fees are a weak lift K yeah deah I'm going

don't have the money or had to borrow it I'm sure the accountant isn't sitting in his office thinking oh dear we shouldn't have accepted Kenneth obviously in financial difficulty of the right stuff to be a part of us you not did nobody ever tell you that people can have for have it because to hang on to just can't because I'm not going to relax and you do all right I'm going to P I'm pay right now drove past the golf club in fact I drove past the golf club five times and on the fifth time I drove home she was at aerobics the kids were at their Granny's this gave me peace to work out peace to work out the most exciting Crazy M a Rous thing I ever done in my life at £400 they were a halfe feas with the golf cop I had 00 of electricity shares that my mother bought me for Christmas and they were worth 200 now and that was £600 that wasn't enough wasn't enough Christ there must be something else that I could sell the golf [Laughter] well they would be worth at least £200 and I knew somebody at work who was looking for a well that would be 00 that would be enough would be just enough every morning I woke up in a lay for 5 minutes asking myself are you sure you know what you're are you absolutely sure you and every morning the answer was always the same too bloody R do in fact I can't wait everything worked out so smoothly I sold the golf clubs and I threw in the bag in the trolley Isabelle and Ernie had bought me and the helmets that Pauline had given me £300 and the electricity shares were rebonds and nobody knew a thing I was saying I knew what I was doing must be destined the night before I could barely contain myself but I knew I must show any signs of unusual behavior I would fake falling asleep on the C and as usual Dev would leave me there and go on the bed but tonight I wasn't asleep at lunch time i' stepped out of work and I packed a small suitcase and headd it in the car then I just sat in a second watching the clock I never doubted for one minute but I was going at 6:00 in the morning exactly I slept out of the house and into the car as I was driving along I felt like I was a car with no brakes speeding along but not the disaster I was like that car in chiny Chitty Bang Bang you know when it got to the edge of the cliff and took wings that was me I drove across the board for the first time in my life but it just never occurred to me to do it before you see we had always been taught to be AF to be AF of the black magic the dark evil the mysterious jiggery poine that would bre what is that I mean is that what our leaders are reallying or is it that they think if the tables were turned we would be treated the same way as we have treated the tages and we would be the second class is you was probably part of the what the fear is the retribution I mean to say that they're God-fearing men what they fear is their own judgment their own behavior just staring in the [Music] face dou an airport 10 km [Music] [Music] noig means means [Laughter] [Applause] I drove into the car park it was a sight that I will never forget as long as I live the whole airport had been taken over by a green white and orange Army and there was checkins going going on in the car park and at 9:00 in the morning people were singing and dancing 9:00 in the morning he we singing we're on our way we're on our way to the [Applause] [Music] USA we're on our we're on our to the USA [Music] [Laughter] [Laughter] I lost in New York the support island gri is it lad I love L thaty that guy was a comrade all right L at late no problem [Applause] i' forgotten myself a couple of lads started to laugh at me Outburst though not in a moing way just like they understood how I was feeling you see everybody had a right to be happy that morning everybody had their own story of how they got to be here but at this moment in time we were all the lods people with Hots and streamers and silly wigs and painted faces and I was part of this if only Pauline Could See Me Now I looked at myself I stood out in all these thousands like a sore thumb I was dressed like this I look the real clunker I look more like the airport security it's probably why they were laughing at me and then I noticed a man standard by himself he was 50 if he was a dead and he had the look of respectability about him he was just smiling quietly but he looked as uncomfortable in His World Cup t-shirt and his shorts and his silly hat as I did in the British home stores men's were here but like me he had the look of him of a man who was about to be set free we clocked each other and smile where did you get the t-shirts M what so the whole country is swamped with a you me I'm from Belfast ah now that explains here this bag and he R to about inside it and he a T-shirt and he said here will you put this on for J's sake you look more like a man from the welfare and the laugh how a Wars that's exactly what it was but I wasn't going to tell him that thanks how much do you owe you for the T-shirt oh that's all right if you want into me in New York sure you can always buy me a drink great great yes I'll do that thanks M thanks I'm a stripped off my shirt and my P and my jacket

rain trusted up in a suit and tight and I was surrounded by more robots and suits and toys and as I looked out the window with the travel agents across the street two Lads came bouncing out in the team course singing and cting and waving their match tickets and I thought to myself excuse the L but I thought to myself [ __ ] it I just picked up my briefcase and I said to the secretary I see you

last step and let them decide because This Moment In Time K you are not of s mind you have no responsibility for yourself and I Lov it and I got to the top step and the flight attendant said good morning I stopped and I turned and the man behind me he moved as if to let me wave the Beloved ones in the viewing gallery and I started back down I started back down the gangway and then f or the
