Harry leans on his broom and peers at her. She reaches into her bag for a sheet of paper... GRACE (CONT’D) I have references... Harry takes the sheet of paper. HARRY Which part of Ireland are you from? GRACE Galway. I worked in Dublin. Harry glances at the crucifix around her neck. HARRY My mother was from Galway. Grace smiles. He looks at her smile then nods and goes back to his work... HARRY (CONT’D) Too pretty. He continues to sweep. Grace makes a decision. GRACE Watch... Grace grabs a spittoon from the base of the bar.... GRACE (CONT’D) And listen... Grace begins to sing the pretty Irish ballad ‘I wish I was in Carrickfergus’ as she scoops up the other two spittoons. She clutches all three in one hand and swirls them around as she sings. Her voice is sweet and strong. She pours the slimy, disgusting contents of one spittoon into the other then that one into a third (with a slurp). Her song swoops on... GRACE (CONT’D) (Singing) ...But the sea is wide, and I can’t cross over... Her face shows no reaction of horror as she brandishes the fully charged spittoon then heads for the back of the bar. Grace swiftly unlatches the bar divide and empties the spittoon into the sink. She pours water from a jug into the spittoon and returns to systematically half fill and swill the other two spittoons. She then pours the dirty water into one spittoon and takes it back to the sink and pours it away. All the time singing...
