We're going to the pictures. He's taking us to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
What in the name of God is that?
It's a flying car.
Oh, God, I've heard it all.
It goes over a cliff, and you nearly fall out of your seat. Do you want to come? It'll be company for you till my Pop's home.
If God had wanted me to see flying cars, I'd have been born with blinking wings. You love your films, don't you? I was a great one for the pictures when I was your age. I used to think you could climb right inside the screen and visit all those strange places you saw. Like that one in that film. What was that, uh...? Uh, Lost Horizons. Did you ever see that?
No. What was the name of the place, Granny?
Shangri-La. That's what they called it.
Did you ever go there?
There were no roads to Shangri-La from our part of Belfast.
