as anyone would be, he is really happy with it. He is eager to show Ryan

something. However, Ryan is too busy with work. As the evening of song
recording is coming to an end Harry constantly tries to ring Ryan so that he
can come a share the last part of the day supporting Harry, but Ryan ignores
Harry's calls and carries on with his office work. Ryan finally answers Harry's
call and explains to Harry… "I'm swamped with work, I can't make it this

Mother; who is leant on the kitchen side across from Ryan with a cup of tea in
her hand. Ryan's bragging to their Mother about how well he is doing at work.
As Ryan brags more and the conversation continues, Harry increasingly plays
louder and louder until their Mother says, "Harry turn that down!"
God, I wish you were more like your brother; more bothered about a career rather
