:09:01
lt's not a parrot, dear.
He's a macaw.
:09:05
He's named after
my late husband , Richard .
:09:10
l've had Little Dick
for 40 years.
:09:15
Come along , dear.
Don't be shy.
:09:17
lt's French onion .
:09:18
Oh .
:09:20
:09:29
Mrs. Connelly,
how are you feeling?
:09:32
Why do you ask, dear?
:09:33
Well , because the last time
we saw you , you were quite ill .
:09:37
Oh , l had a bit of a cold ,
but l'm in fine fettle now.
:09:42
Tell me about yourselves.
:09:44
What do you do, Alan?
:09:47
Alex.
:09:48
Alex is a writer.
:09:50
Oh , a writer.
Hmm .
:09:52
l always thought of that as
more of a hobby than a real job.
:09:56
l suppose l'm forgetting
about Joyce.
:09:59
Joyce. James Joyce.
Of course.
:10:01
Wonderful writer.
:10:02
He died drunk and penniless.
:10:06
Well , Alex's first novel
was published in hardback,
:10:11
and he's about
to finish his second one.
:10:13
Oh , what's it about?
:10:15
Well , l like to call it
an urban epic.
:10:19
lt's about three generations
of this family
:10:21
that own a printing press,
and l tell a story.
:10:23
That's nice.
Let me give you a refill .
:10:28
Big Dick had the taste, too.
:10:32
He was a seaman .
:10:34
The drink took him
from me in 1 963.
:10:39
We'd been married for 58 years.
:10:45
'63.
:10:47
So, when are you two
planning on having children?
:10:50
Soon .
:10:51
Yeah , not for a couple of years.
:10:53
You sound just like
Mr. Connelly.
:10:56
We never had any children .
:10:58
lt's too late for me now.
