Ah, yeah. Yeah, tis awful all right. Well, your Mam wanted me to talk to you about it, but…’ He stopped; he didn’t know what else to say.‘ Yeah? Ah, I know the score, Dad. She wants me to be careful, is it?’‘ Ah, no. Well, yeah; there’s that, of course. No, she wanted… well, if you’d any questions, youknow?’ I wasn’t sure if he wanted me to say yes, or if he just wanted me to say no, and save himhaving to be awkward. He looked lost. I felt like I wanted to save him‘ No, I’ve no questions, Dad. It’s all right, shur.’ He looked at me then. His eyes went wet, likehe was going to start bawling. If we were in a film, he might have hugged me. But we were in Limerick, so he just said:‘ Well, so, ’ and put his one glove back on. From The Boys of Summer. Anonymous
About This Quote

The Boys of Summer is a movie based on the book by the same name. The movie tells the story of two brothers growing up in the 1950's. They are inseparable, but growing up two years apart seems to separate them more and more as time goes on. Eventually, one brother dies in a car accident and the other does not have to deal with it.

In this quote, Kevin Costner says, "Ah yeah, tis awful all right. Well, your Mam wanted me to talk to you about it, but…" The boys of summer are just here for a year. Their mother had wanted them to have fun while they were young and it seemed that they would have a good time together as they grew up too.

Their mother wanted them to have fun and enjoy their lives as they grew up. But it seems that their time was cut short from their life after their father said, "yeah? Ah, I know the score." He was not sure what she wanted him to say because he did not even know himself. The boys of summer were going to be here for a year and then they would be gone from their mother's life forever.

She was going to miss them dearly but she knew that they would be alright because of their father's support. He had no idea what she wanted him to say but he knew that she wanted him to say something for her sake which made him feel a little better. He continued on with his speech saying, "No, she wanted… well, if you’d any questions youknow?" This part confused me because I did not really understand what he meant by "if you've any questions." I thought maybe she was wanting him to say something like they should be careful or something like that so I was really confused when he said that he knew what the score was which made me question whether or not he knew her intentions at all.

He replied back with: " No , I've no questions." This confused me even more because I thought maybe there wasn't anything else for him to ask her which made me think maybe his father had no idea what she would want him to say or else maybe there was nothing at all for his father to ask her about altogether since he already knew what the score was anyways.
