July 4, 1997...Cork, Ireland. The Republic's second largest city prepares for a big Fourth of July celebration.
Act One
Leigh Anne: Yeah, so what's the deal with y'all celebrating Independence Day? I mean, it's totally an American holiday, so why do y'all even care?
Arnold: Ever heard of St. Patrick's Day?
And Scene.

March 17, 2008...Pennington Gap, Virginia. Libbey Litton dons her special green shirt, festive with a sequined shamrock, preparing for the school day...
Act One
Mommy: Happy St. Patrick's Day, baby!
Libbey: Now, what is St. Patrick's all about?
Mommy (going for the easy answer): Well, legend has it that Patrick was a Christian man who drove all the snakes out of Ireland.
Libbey: Really? Wow...he must have had a really big truck!
And Scene.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day, y'all!

That's hilarious! I was just trying to explain St. Patrick's Day to Reagan :)
so this irish 4th of july....is it like cinco de mayo, except with hamburgers and beer instead of tacos and beer? does everyone flood mcdonald's instead of el toro/la cabana/la parilla/dos copas etc? i'm intrigued. and we totally need to hijack another country's holiday, we need more. an italian one would be nice, no?
