Martin Shaw

He touched me on my shoulder and I became a deer.

But I knew, I knew in my secret heart, if I could get to Ben Bolbin, if I could get to the hazy place, the dimpsy time, the time between dog and wolf, the man I loved, I knew would be waiting for me there.

And that is you, Finn.

And I claim you.

It's a beautiful thing to say to somebody.

I claim you, not I like you or I've got a crush on you.

I claim you.

Now, in Irish, there's a lovely word when you have an upswelling of the heart.

You say, I have a groar for you.

I have a groar.

And it's a way of kind of testing the waters with someone.

It's not an outright declaration, but it's saying, I would have a bit of a groar for you.

I see your love spot.

And so I'm pleased to say that Finn, for the first time in his life, fell full in swoon with this woman.

Scythe and Finn.

It is the kind of love we are all a little jealous of to this day.

Now, the problem was, from that moment onwards, he...

he was barely visible.

You know, he was off on picnics with her.

They'd have a bare skin rug and a nice bottle of mead and they'd be out there under 100,000 stars on the old green hill.
