It is with immense pride that Curry Chips presents an exclusive preview of the new Ken Loach masterpiece "Train Driver".
Set in Cork, Ireland during the early part of the 21st century, "Train Driver" is a harrowing and at times touching account of one man's struggle to maintain his dignity and identity in the face of ruthless corporate oppression.
In this emotionally-charged scene, we see Finbarr attempting to explain to his young son (Jimmy Barry) why he's home early again.

Finbarr: "Jimmy boy, you know the way...I had the XBox promised you.
I...was going to be picking it up from Harvey Norman on Friday.
All I needed was to get through this week's rostering arrangements and twould have been in the bag.
Well Jimmy boy, I take no pleasure in telling you that...it won't be happening this week."

Jimmy Barry: "Ah Christ daddy, what happened? Were they actin' the mickey at work again?"

Finbarr: "Oh, actin' the mickey is one way of puttin' it alright boy.
They..."
[Finbarr struggles to control his emotion]
"...they tried to get me to drive a blue train."

Jimmy Barry: "The bastards! Sure don't you drive the green train!
Why won't they ever leave you alone Daddy?"

Granny: "Because you're a precious self-centred jobsworth shitehawk?"

Finbarr: "I know boy, I know. They just think they can fuck around with me whenever they want, like.
Sure if I don't stand up to them now, what will they have me doing tomorrow - driving the commuter train to Cobh?!
Sure I had to walk off the job boy!"

Jimmy Barry: "Fair balls to you Daddy. You did the right thing.
And sure won't the rest of the lads pitch in behind you?"

Finbarr [welling up]: "They will boy, they will."
[SNIFF]
"The public will understand. They...have to understand."

Finbarr: "Now come on, we'll head out for a pint.
I need to have a wash first Jimmy boy, d'you know, it's a strange thing.
I look good, I feel good, but I smell awful."

Granny: "That's cause you're a cunt."

Jobsworth shitehawks is too good for them. You get better quality of service from Thomas the Tank Engine. No fucking strikes on the island of Sodor. The Fat Controller would sack the lot of them.
