Ballykissangel — S02E05 — Someone to Watch Over Me
1997 · 50 MIN · IMDB 8.0 · DIR. Dermot Boyd
Overview
Every village has a busybody, and Kathleen is best places in BallyK. As the owner of the grocery shop she keeps track of everybody's business. Her cousin Nora Harrigan takes a job as Brian's housekeeper, which immediately upsets Niamh. Brian is well aware that Nora finds him attractive. Niamh is still getting over the loss of her baby, but everyone seems to forget that it was also Ambrose's child. Brendan's new pupils prove to be the perfect distraction for Niamh as she controls the disruptive crowd as only she can. Brian's life is now entirely organised by Nora and he's starting to feel hen-pecked. He discovers that Nora's previous two husbands died and is worried that she wants him to be number three. She mistakenly makes a move on Father Mac in the sauna and he tells Brian to get rid of her.

00:00:03 It's a grand idea. A wonder I never thought of it before.
00:02:39 Kathleen, I just dropped in to talk about that wholesale business.
00:04:23 You hire a floozy in a French maid's outfit to flick a cluster around.
00:06:14 You're still here, though.
00:08:07 Ah! There was asbestos found at your last school.
00:10:10 Just tell Mr Quigley I called. And maybe I'll see him sometime.
00:11:54 We all need someone to look after us once in a while. It is only natural.
00:14:03 OK, hands up all the new boys who aren't here.
00:15:43 Good morning, missus.
00:17:39 I'm going to evening Mass with Kathleen.
00:19:29 I've already got one. Can't you find anyone to help?
00:21:33 You'll never drown yourself in a stream that size.
00:23:42 Sure, never mind.
00:26:08 - Filthy, dirty ones, too. - What about their height?
00:28:10 There's nothing we can do now but wait.
00:30:20 Oh, well, never mind. Make an OK priest, I hear.
00:32:53 No, you're the only one who gives a damn.
00:35:06 It was past its best, cluttering up the place.
00:37:24 - I suppose all that's changed now. - What do you mean?
00:39:21 but now he won't hear a word against her.
00:42:13 It's about the good name of the Church.
00:44:24 There's another alternative.
00:46:27 You had me about the house.
00:48:23 Women. Maybe we're better off without them, Father, eh?
