Hello everyone,

  • What about the last girl, Clare?

  • Gummy Anna? Purple, purple gums.

  • Yeah.

  • That’s right.

  • Hey, how are you doing?

  • Mm-hm.

  • It’s me, Anna

  • And, er, remember the Galway girl, um, how were her gums?

Does “the Galway girl” simply mean a girl from Galway or does it mean any girl who looks exactly like a girl from Galway, i.e. a girl with dark hair and blue eyes?

Thank you.

For example, it might be her surname.

Well, this girl is mentioned only once in the film, if I’m not mistaken, but I think that it is her surname indeed.

Thank you, Beeesneees
