VHSホームビデオ: IRELAND VACATION 1989

Look at the donkey!

He's... he's eating the mint!

<laughter>

Excuse me sir, what's the name of that big green mountain?

The one with the flat top?

Oh, hello. Ben Bulben, that's called.

Wow, from the Yeats poem?

I don't know. Sorry.

On limestone quarried near the spot, by his command these words are cut:

Cast a cold eye on life, on death. Horseman, pass by!

Is that Yeats? I wouldn't have known it.

Are you American? Oh yous are filming, I see.

Yes, we're Irish-American.

My great-great-grandfather came from a place called Carlow. Do you know it?

Not well. Anyway, I'd best be off. Good luck with your holidays.

Thank you sir, God bless!

What a nice old man. Maybe we're related, from years gone by.

That would be neat! Imagine how bad things had to be to leave this place...

I saw a documentary about it. The Famine. People looked like skeletons...

The ships to the States were so bad...

...they were called coffin ships. So many people died.

How could anyone have hope with so much death around them?

I guess if they didn't, they'd have no chance at all...

I guess so. Anyway, turn that thing off. Let's go for a pint!
