3
00:04:29,750 --> 00:04:34,624
- Six yards of stuff for
to make a yellow gown.
4
00:04:34,625 --> 00:04:39,249
A pair of lace boots with
lengthy heels on them
5
00:04:39,250 --> 00:04:41,374
and brassy eyes.
6
00:04:41,375 --> 00:04:45,999
A hat is suited for a wedding-day.
7
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,999
A fine tooth comb.
8
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,000
To be sent with three barrels
of porter in Jimmy Farrell's
9
00:04:53,792 --> 00:04:58,666
creel cart on the evening
of the coming fair
10
00:04:58,667 --> 00:05:01,958
to Mister Michael James Flaherty.
11
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:11,582
With the best compliments of this season,
12
00:05:11,583 --> 00:05:14,500
Margaret Flaherty.
13
00:05:15,583 --> 00:05:17,332
- Where's your father?
14
00:05:17,333 --> 00:05:19,417
- He's over the crossroads, he is,
15
00:05:20,625 --> 00:05:22,749
meeting Philly Cullen and a couple more
16
00:05:22,750 --> 00:05:25,624
are going along with him
to Kate Cassidy's wake.
17
00:05:25,625 --> 00:05:28,624
- And he's going that
length in the dark night?
18
00:05:28,625 --> 00:05:33,625
- He is surely, and leaving
me lonesome on the scruff
19
00:05:33,750 --> 00:05:34,750
of the hill.
20
00:05:37,250 --> 00:05:40,416
Isn't it long the nights
are now, Shawn Keogh,
21
00:05:40,417 --> 00:05:42,999
to be leaving a poor
girl with her own self
22
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,999
counting the hours to the dawn of day?
23
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,624
- If it is, when we're
wedded in a short while
24
00:05:48,625 --> 00:05:51,082
you'll have no call to complain,
25
00:05:51,083 --> 00:05:53,124
for I've little will to be walking off
26
00:05:53,125 --> 00:05:56,041
to wakes or weddings in
the darkness of the night.
27
00:05:56,042 --> 00:05:58,082
- You're making mighty certain, Shaneen,
28
00:05:58,083 --> 00:05:59,332
that I'll wed you now.
29
00:05:59,333 --> 00:06:01,624
- Aren't we after making a good bargain,
30
00:06:01,625 --> 00:06:03,499
the way we're only waiting these days
31
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:06,207
on Father Reilly's
dispensation from the bishops,
32
00:06:06,208 --> 00:06:07,332
or the Court of Rome.
33
00:06:07,333 --> 00:06:09,791
- It's a wonder, Shaneen,
the Holy Father'd
34
00:06:09,792 --> 00:06:11,541
be taking notice of the likes of you,
35
00:06:11,542 --> 00:06:14,082
for if I was him I wouldn't
bother with this place.
36
00:06:14,083 --> 00:06:17,707
For you see, none but red
linen at this point in his eye
37
00:06:17,708 --> 00:06:19,500
are patchy and as laden as he.
38
00:06:20,458 --> 00:06:23,166
For if we allow these types to
go troublin' the Holy Father
39
00:06:23,167 --> 00:06:24,291
on his sacred seat.
40
00:06:24,292 --> 00:06:26,499
- If we are, we're as good
this place as another,
41
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:29,332
maybe, and as good these
times as we were forever.
42
00:06:29,333 --> 00:06:30,333
- As good, is it?
43
00:06:31,125 --> 00:06:33,249
Where now will you meet
the like of Daneen Sullivan
44
00:06:33,250 --> 00:06:36,624
knocked the eye from a
peeler, or Marcus Quin,
45
00:06:36,625 --> 00:06:40,416
God rest him, got six
months for maiming ewes,
46
00:06:40,417 --> 00:06:44,874
and he a warrant to tell
stories of holy Ireland
47
00:06:44,875 --> 00:06:48,249
till he'd have the old
women shedding down tears
48
00:06:48,250 --> 00:06:49,375
about their feet.
49
00:06:51,792 --> 00:06:54,749
Where now would you find the
like of them, I'm saying?
50
00:06:54,750 --> 00:06:56,707
- If you don't it's a good job, maybe,
51
00:06:56,708 --> 00:06:59,791
for Father Reilly has small
conceit to have that kind
52
00:06:59,792 --> 00:07:02,416
walking around and talking to the girls.
53
00:07:02,417 --> 00:07:05,583
- Stop tormenting me with Father Reilly
54
00:07:19,042 --> 00:07:23,124
when I'm asking only what
way I'll pass these 12 hours
55
00:07:23,125 --> 00:07:26,000
of dark, and not take
my death with the fear.
56
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,666
- Would I fetch you the widow Quin, maybe?
57
00:07:31,667 --> 00:07:33,958
- Is it the like of that murderer?
58
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,874
You'll not, surely.
59
00:07:36,875 --> 00:07:39,791
- Then I'm thinking your
father will stop along with you
60
00:07:39,792 --> 00:07:40,916
when he sees you taking on,
61
00:07:40,917 --> 00:07:44,375
for it'll be a long night-time
with great darkness,
62
00:07:45,583 --> 00:07:48,416
and I'm after feeling
a kind of fellow above
63
00:07:48,417 --> 00:07:51,291
in the furzy ditch, groaning
wicked like a maddening dog,
64
00:07:51,292 --> 00:07:54,250
the way it's good cause you
have, maybe, to be fearing now.
65
00:07:55,250 --> 00:07:56,417
- What's that?
66
00:07:57,333 --> 00:07:59,666
Is it a man you seen?
67
00:07:59,667 --> 00:08:00,791
- I couldn't see him at all,
68
00:08:00,792 --> 00:08:04,832
but I heard him groaning
out, and breaking his heart.
69
00:08:04,833 --> 00:08:07,667
It should have been a young
man from his words speaking.
70
00:08:08,750 --> 00:08:11,999
- And you never went near
him to see was he hurted
71
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,666
or what ailed him at all?
72
00:08:13,667 --> 00:08:15,707
- I did not, Pegeen Mike.
73
00:08:15,708 --> 00:08:19,291
It was a dark, lonesome place
to be hearing the like of him.
74
00:08:19,292 --> 00:08:22,332
- Well, you're a daring fellow,
75
00:08:22,333 --> 00:08:25,332
and if they find his
corpse stretched above
76
00:08:25,333 --> 00:08:28,916
in the dews of dawn, what'||
you say then to the peelers,
77
00:08:28,917 --> 00:08:30,916
or the Justice of the Peace?
78
00:08:30,917 --> 00:08:32,707
- I wasn't thinking of that.
79
00:08:32,708 --> 00:08:35,416
For the love of God, don't
let on I was speaking of him.
80
00:08:35,417 --> 00:08:38,124
Don't tell your father and
the men is coming above,
81
00:08:38,125 --> 00:08:40,291
for if they heard that
story, they'd have great
82
00:08:40,292 --> 00:08:41,541
blabbing this night at the wake.
83
00:08:41,542 --> 00:08:46,000
- I'll maybe tell them,
and I'll maybe not.
84
00:09:28,167 --> 00:09:29,999
- The blessing of God on this place.
85
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:30,958
God bless you kindly.
86
00:09:30,959 --> 00:09:32,708
- Sit down now, and take your rest.
87
00:09:37,208 --> 00:09:38,832
And how is it you are, Shawn Keogh?
88
00:09:38,833 --> 00:09:41,332
Are you coming over the
sands to Kate Cassidy's wake?
89
00:09:41,333 --> 00:09:43,166
- I am not, Michael James.
90
00:09:43,167 --> 00:09:45,707
I'm going home the short cut to my bed.
91
00:09:45,708 --> 00:09:48,707
- He's right too, and have
you no shame, Michael James,
92
00:09:48,708 --> 00:09:50,624
to be quitting off the whole night
93
00:09:50,625 --> 00:09:52,916
and leaving myself lonesome in the shop?
94
00:09:52,917 --> 00:09:55,332
- Isn't it the same if
I go for the whole night
95
00:09:55,333 --> 00:09:56,707
or a part only?
96
00:09:56,708 --> 00:09:59,082
And I'm thinking as the
queer darker you are,
97
00:09:59,083 --> 00:10:00,916
if you'll have me crossin' back
98
00:10:00,917 --> 00:10:03,707
to the stooks of the dead
women with the draught taken?
99
00:10:03,708 --> 00:10:07,082
- If I am a queer of dark,
then it's the queer father
100
00:10:07,083 --> 00:10:10,124
would leave me alone in
these 12 hours of dark.
101
00:10:10,125 --> 00:10:12,874
And I piling the turf
with the dogs barking,
102
00:10:12,875 --> 00:10:14,499
and the calves mooing,
103
00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:17,041
and my own teeth rattling with the fear.
104
00:10:17,042 --> 00:10:19,749
- What is there to hurt
you, and you a fine,
105
00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:22,750
hardy girl would knock the head
of any two men in the place?
106
00:10:23,708 --> 00:10:27,499
- Isn't there the harvest
boys with their tongues red
107
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:31,416
for drink, and the ten tinkers
is camped beyond in the glen,
108
00:10:31,417 --> 00:10:33,624
and the thousand militia,
bad cess to them,
109
00:10:33,625 --> 00:10:35,499
walking idle through the land.
110
00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:37,457
There's lads surely to hurt me,
111
00:10:37,458 --> 00:10:39,333
and I won't stop alone in it.
112
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:43,291
- If you're that afeard let
Shawn Keogh stop along with you.
113
00:10:43,292 --> 00:10:44,791
It's the will of God, I'm thinking,
114
00:10:44,792 --> 00:10:46,541
himself should be seeing to you now.
115
00:10:46,542 --> 00:10:48,499
- I would and welcome, Michael James,
116
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:50,749
but I'm afeard of Father Reilly.
117
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:52,207
- God help you!
118
00:10:52,208 --> 00:10:54,249
Can't you sit in by the
hearth with the light lit
119
00:10:54,250 --> 00:10:56,957
and herself beyond in the room?
120
00:10:56,958 --> 00:10:58,832
You'll do that surely.
121
00:10:58,833 --> 00:11:00,166
- Lock him in the west room.
122
00:11:00,167 --> 00:11:03,166
He'll stay then and have no sin
to be telling to the priest.
123
00:11:03,167 --> 00:11:04,000
- Go on up now.
124
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:04,833
- Don't stop me, Michael James.
125
00:11:04,834 --> 00:11:06,041
Let me out of the door, I'm saying,
126
00:11:06,042 --> 00:11:07,291
for the love of the Almighty God.
127
00:11:07,292 --> 00:11:09,541
Let me out of it, and
may God grant you His
128
00:11:09,542 --> 00:11:11,666
indulgence in the hour of need.
129
00:11:11,667 --> 00:11:15,416
- Stop your noising, and
sit down by the hearth.
130
00:11:15,417 --> 00:11:17,916
- Oh, Father Reilly and the saints of God,
131
00:11:17,917 --> 00:11:20,166
where will I hide myself today?
132
00:11:20,167 --> 00:11:22,791
Oh, St. Joseph and St.
Patrick and St. Brigid,
133
00:11:22,792 --> 00:11:25,167
and St. James, have mercy on me now!
134
00:11:29,958 --> 00:11:31,167
- You'd be going, is it?
135
00:11:32,708 --> 00:11:33,625
- Let me go, Michael James,
let me go, you old Pagan,
136
00:11:33,626 --> 00:11:35,916
let me go, or I'll get the
curse of the priests on you,
137
00:11:35,917 --> 00:11:39,374
and of the scarlet-coated
bishops of the courts of Rome.
138
00:11:48,750 --> 00:11:52,124
- Well, there's the
coat of a Christian man.
139
00:11:52,125 --> 00:11:55,291
Oh, there's sainted glory
this day in the lonesome west,
140
00:11:55,292 --> 00:11:58,499
and by the will of God, Pegeen,
I've got you a decent man,
141
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:00,874
and one that'|| have no
call to be spying after
142
00:12:00,875 --> 00:12:02,457
if you've a score of young girls, maybe,
143
00:12:02,458 --> 00:12:03,917
weeding in your fields.
144
00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:07,749
- What right have you to be making game
145
00:12:07,750 --> 00:12:10,457
of a poor fellow for minding the priest,
146
00:12:10,458 --> 00:12:12,291
when it's your own the fault is,
147
00:12:12,292 --> 00:12:15,082
not paying a penny pot-boy
to stand along with me
148
00:12:15,083 --> 00:12:17,917
and give me courage in
the doing of my work?
149
00:12:48,583 --> 00:12:50,207
- Michael James!
150
00:12:50,208 --> 00:12:51,541
- What ails you?
151
00:12:51,542 --> 00:12:53,541
- The queer dying fellow's
beyond looking over the ditch.
152
00:12:53,542 --> 00:12:55,917
He's come up, I'm thinking,
stealing your hens.
153
00:13:00,125 --> 00:13:02,999
God help me, he's following me now,
154
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,750
and if he's heard what I
said, he'll be having my life.
155
00:14:07,333 --> 00:14:08,708
- God save all here!
156
00:14:09,583 --> 00:14:10,958
God save you kindly.
157
00:14:29,708 --> 00:14:33,833
- I'd trouble you for a glass
of porter, woman of the house.
158
00:14:52,333 --> 00:14:55,124
- You're one of the tinkers, young fellow,
159
00:14:55,125 --> 00:14:56,708
is camped beyond in the glen?
160
00:15:01,542 --> 00:15:06,542
- I am not, but I'm destroyed walking.
161
00:15:19,750 --> 00:15:20,708
- Let you come up then to the fire.
162
00:15:20,709 --> 00:15:22,583
You're looking famished with the cold.
163
00:15:33,042 --> 00:15:34,250
- God reward you.
164
00:15:40,750 --> 00:15:43,666
- Is it often the police do
be coming into this place,
165
00:15:43,667 --> 00:15:45,291
master of the house?
166
00:15:45,292 --> 00:15:46,167
- If you'd come in better hours,
167
00:15:46,168 --> 00:15:48,082
you'd have seen "Licenced for
the sale of Beer and Spirits",
168
00:15:48,083 --> 00:15:49,749
"to be consumed on the premises,"
169
00:15:49,750 --> 00:15:51,750
written in white letters above the door.
170
00:15:52,708 --> 00:15:54,499
And what would the
police want spying on me,
171
00:15:54,500 --> 00:15:56,999
and not a decent house within four miles,
172
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,375
saving one widow alone?
173
00:16:00,042 --> 00:16:04,874
- It's a safe house, so.
174
00:16:04,875 --> 00:16:09,416
- Is it yourself fearing the police?
175
00:16:09,417 --> 00:16:10,500
You're wanting, maybe?
176
00:16:12,542 --> 00:16:13,791
- There's many wanting.
177
00:16:13,792 --> 00:16:14,625
- Aye, many surely,
178
00:16:14,626 --> 00:16:17,042
with the broken harvest
and the ended wars.
179
00:16:18,042 --> 00:16:19,792
It should be larceny, I'm thinking?
180
00:16:21,417 --> 00:16:25,041
- I had it in my mind it was a
different world and a bigger.
181
00:16:25,042 --> 00:16:26,833
- There's a queer lad.
182
00:16:27,667 --> 00:16:30,457
Were you never slapped
in school, young fellow,
183
00:16:30,458 --> 00:16:33,666
that you don't know the name of your deed?
184
00:16:33,667 --> 00:16:38,624
- I'm slow at learning,
a middling scholar only.
185
00:16:38,625 --> 00:16:39,916
- If you're a dunce itself,
186
00:16:39,917 --> 00:16:41,249
you'd have a right to know that larceny is
187
00:16:41,250 --> 00:16:42,667
robbing and stealing.
188
00:16:43,625 --> 00:16:45,583
Is it for the like of that you're wanting?
189
00:16:46,875 --> 00:16:50,792
- And I the son of a strong
farmer, God rest his soul,
190
00:16:51,792 --> 00:16:52,750
could have bought the whole
191
00:16:52,751 --> 00:16:54,582
of your old house a while since,
192
00:16:54,583 --> 00:16:56,291
from the butt of his tailpocket,
193
00:16:56,292 --> 00:16:58,457
and not have missed the weight of it gone.
194
00:16:58,458 --> 00:17:01,457
- If it's not stealing,
it's maybe something big.
195
00:17:01,458 --> 00:17:04,332
- Aye, it's maybe something big.
196
00:17:04,333 --> 00:17:06,541
- He's a wicked-looking young fellow.
197
00:17:06,542 --> 00:17:10,083
Maybe he followed after a young
woman on a lonesome night.
198
00:17:11,500 --> 00:17:15,707
- The saints forbid, mister,
I was all times a decent lad.
199
00:17:15,708 --> 00:17:18,041
- You're a silly man, Jimmy Farrell.
200
00:17:18,042 --> 00:17:20,374
You heard him say his father
was a farmer a while since,
201
00:17:20,375 --> 00:17:22,957
and there's himself now in a poor state.
202
00:17:22,958 --> 00:17:24,666
Maybe the land was grabbed from him,
203
00:17:24,667 --> 00:17:26,916
and he did what any decent man would do.
204
00:17:26,917 --> 00:17:28,457
- Was it bailiffs?
205
00:17:28,458 --> 00:17:29,292
- The devil a one.
206
00:17:29,292 --> 00:17:30,167
"Agents?"
207
00:17:30,167 --> 00:17:31,042
- The devil a one.
208
00:17:31,043 --> 00:17:32,707
- Landlords?
209
00:17:32,708 --> 00:17:34,667
- Ah, not at all, I'm saying.
210
00:17:35,542 --> 00:17:37,624
You'd see the like of them
stories on any little paper
211
00:17:37,625 --> 00:17:39,457
of a Munster town.
212
00:17:39,458 --> 00:17:42,749
But I'm not calling to
mind any person, gentle,
213
00:17:42,750 --> 00:17:45,166
simple, judge or jury, did the like of me.
214
00:17:45,167 --> 00:17:47,499
- Did you strike golden
guineas out of solder,
215
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:49,791
young fellow, or shilling coins itself?
216
00:17:49,792 --> 00:17:53,624
- I did not, mister, not
sixpence nor a farthing coin.
217
00:17:53,625 --> 00:17:55,957
- Did you marry three wives maybe?
218
00:17:55,958 --> 00:17:58,333
I'm told there's a
sprinkling have done that.
219
00:18:01,083 --> 00:18:02,707
- I never married with one,
220
00:18:02,708 --> 00:18:04,500
let alone with a couple or three.
221
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,625
I never left my own parish
till Tuesday was a week.
222
00:18:09,875 --> 00:18:11,667
- He's done nothing, so.
223
00:18:14,583 --> 00:18:19,082
If you didn't commit murder
or a bad, nasty thing,
224
00:18:19,083 --> 00:18:21,541
or false coining, or robbery, or butchery,
225
00:18:21,542 --> 00:18:23,041
or the like of them,
226
00:18:23,042 --> 00:18:25,082
there isn't anything that would be worth
227
00:18:25,083 --> 00:18:28,124
your troubling for to run from now.
228
00:18:28,125 --> 00:18:29,833
You did nothing at all.
229
00:18:31,458 --> 00:18:33,791
- That's an unkindly thing to be saying
230
00:18:33,792 --> 00:18:36,916
to a poor orphaned traveller,
has a prison behind him,
231
00:18:36,917 --> 00:18:41,917
and hanging before, and
hell's gap gaping below.
232
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,707
- You're only saying it.
233
00:18:43,708 --> 00:18:45,792
You've done nothing at all.
234
00:18:46,750 --> 00:18:51,750
A soft lad the like of you
wouldn't slit the windpipe
235
00:18:51,833 --> 00:18:53,292
of a screeching sow.
236
00:18:54,458 --> 00:18:56,374
- You're not speaking the truth.
237
00:18:56,375 --> 00:18:57,999
- Not speaking the truth, is it?
238
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,374
Would you have me knock the head of you
239
00:19:00,375 --> 00:19:02,541
- with the butt of the broom?
- Don't strike me.
240
00:19:02,542 --> 00:19:04,499
I killed my poor father,
Tuesday was a week,
241
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:05,833
for doing the like of that.
242
00:19:10,833 --> 00:19:13,083
- Is it killed your father?
243
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:16,333
- With the help of God I did surely,
244
00:19:17,583 --> 00:19:20,500
and may the Holy Immaculate
Mother intercede for his soul.
245
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:23,582
- There's a daring fellow.
246
00:19:23,583 --> 00:19:25,041
- Oh, glory be to God!
247
00:19:25,042 --> 00:19:28,124
- That was a hanging crime, mister honey.
248
00:19:28,125 --> 00:19:31,166
You should have had good reason
for doing the like of that.
249
00:19:31,167 --> 00:19:33,833
- He was a dirty man, God forgive him,
250
00:19:34,917 --> 00:19:36,749
and he getting old and crusty,
251
00:19:36,750 --> 00:19:39,166
the way I couldn't put up with him at all.
252
00:19:39,167 --> 00:19:41,167
- And you shot him dead?
253
00:19:42,542 --> 00:19:44,624
- I never used weapons.
254
00:19:44,625 --> 00:19:47,999
I've no licence, and
I'm a law-fearing man.
255
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,916
- It was with a hilted knife maybe?
256
00:19:49,917 --> 00:19:53,249
I'm told, in the big world
it's bloody knives they use.
257
00:19:53,250 --> 00:19:55,666
- Do you take me for a slaughter-boy?
258
00:19:55,667 --> 00:19:57,125
- You never hanged him.
259
00:19:58,125 --> 00:19:59,542
- I did not then.
260
00:20:01,917 --> 00:20:05,332
I just riz the loy and
let fall the edge of it
261
00:20:05,333 --> 00:20:06,625
on the ridge of his skull,
262
00:20:07,750 --> 00:20:10,207
and he went down at my
feet like an empty sack,
263
00:20:10,208 --> 00:20:12,582
and never let a grunt or
groan from him at all.
264
00:20:12,583 --> 00:20:14,624
- And what way weren't you hanged, mister?
265
00:20:14,625 --> 00:20:15,750
Did you bury him then?
266
00:20:17,125 --> 00:20:19,958
- Aye, I buried him then.
267
00:20:21,750 --> 00:20:23,582
Wasn't like digging spuds in the field.
268
00:20:23,583 --> 00:20:25,499
- And the peelers never followed after you
269
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:27,750
the 11 days you're out?
270
00:20:29,625 --> 00:20:32,166
- Never a one of them,
and I walking forward
271
00:20:32,167 --> 00:20:35,541
facing hog, dog, or devil
on the highway of the road.
272
00:20:35,542 --> 00:20:36,874
- It's only with a common week-day class
273
00:20:36,875 --> 00:20:39,874
of a murderer them lads would
be trusting their carcass,
274
00:20:39,875 --> 00:20:41,249
and that man should be a great terror
275
00:20:41,250 --> 00:20:42,750
when his temper's roused.
276
00:20:43,750 --> 00:20:46,542
- And where was it, mister
honey, that you did the deed?
277
00:20:48,458 --> 00:20:50,625
- Oh, a distant place,
master of the house,
278
00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:54,042
a windy corner of high, distant hills.
279
00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:59,333
- He's a close man,
and he's right, surely.
280
00:21:00,167 --> 00:21:02,249
- That'd be a lad with
the sense of Solomon
281
00:21:02,250 --> 00:21:04,707
to have for a pot-boy, Michael James,
282
00:21:04,708 --> 00:21:07,124
if it's the truth you're
seeking one at all.
283
00:21:07,125 --> 00:21:09,832
- Bravery's a treasure
in a lonesome place,
284
00:21:09,833 --> 00:21:12,291
and a lad would kill his
father, I'm thinking,
285
00:21:12,292 --> 00:21:15,082
would face a foxy devil with a pitchpike
286
00:21:15,083 --> 00:21:16,749
on the flags of hell.
287
00:21:16,750 --> 00:21:18,957
- If I'd that lad in the house,
288
00:21:18,958 --> 00:21:22,457
I wouldn't be fearing the
loosed kharki cut-throats,
289
00:21:22,458 --> 00:21:23,917
or the walking dead.
290
00:21:26,875 --> 00:21:28,666
- Well, glory be to God!
291
00:21:28,667 --> 00:21:30,707
- Would you think well to
stop here and be pot-boy,
292
00:21:30,708 --> 00:21:32,874
mister honey, if we gave you good wages,
293
00:21:32,875 --> 00:21:34,541
and didn't destroy you
with the weight of work?
294
00:21:34,542 --> 00:21:37,082
- That'd be a queer kind
to go bringing into a
295
00:21:37,083 --> 00:21:38,916
quiet decent household with
the like of Pegeen Mike.
296
00:21:38,917 --> 00:21:39,999
- Will you whisht?
297
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,499
Who's speaking to you?
298
00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:44,832
- A bloody-handed murderer.
- Will you whisht I'm saying.
299
00:21:44,833 --> 00:21:47,125
Take no fooling from your like at all.
300
00:21:48,917 --> 00:21:53,041
And you, young fellow,
you'd have a right to stop,
301
00:21:53,042 --> 00:21:57,291
I'm thinking, for we'd
do our all and utmost
302
00:21:57,292 --> 00:21:59,666
to content your needs.
303
00:21:59,667 --> 00:22:02,416
- And I'd be safe in this
place from the searching law?
304
00:22:02,417 --> 00:22:03,457
- You would, surely.
305
00:22:03,458 --> 00:22:06,832
- Let you stop a short while anyhow.
306
00:22:06,833 --> 00:22:10,166
Aren't you destroyed
walking with your feet
307
00:22:10,167 --> 00:22:11,957
in bleeding blisters,
308
00:22:11,958 --> 00:22:16,332
and your whole skin needing
washing like a Wicklow sheep.
309
00:22:16,333 --> 00:22:18,125
- If it's not humbugging me you are,
310
00:22:19,125 --> 00:22:21,291
I'm thinking that I'll surely stay.
311
00:22:21,292 --> 00:22:25,874
- Now, by the grace of God,
herself will be safe this night,
312
00:22:25,875 --> 00:22:29,957
with a man killed his father
holding danger from the door,
313
00:22:29,958 --> 00:22:31,957
and let you come on, Michael James,
314
00:22:31,958 --> 00:22:34,417
or they'll have the best
stuff drunk at the wake.
315
00:22:35,417 --> 00:22:37,125
- And begging your pardon, mister,
316
00:22:38,042 --> 00:22:41,125
what name will we call
you, for we'd like to know?
317
00:22:43,083 --> 00:22:44,083
- Christopher Mahon.
318
00:22:48,458 --> 00:22:49,541
- Well, God bless you, Christy,
319
00:22:49,542 --> 00:22:51,457
and a good rest till we meet again
320
00:22:51,458 --> 00:22:54,499
when the sun'|| be rising
to the noon of day.
321
00:22:54,500 --> 00:22:56,332
- God bless you all.
322
00:22:56,333 --> 00:22:57,667
- God bless you.
323
00:22:59,333 --> 00:23:01,999
- Are you wanting me to
stop along with you and keep
324
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,999
you from harm?
325
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,541
- Didn't you say you were
fearing Father Reilly?
326
00:23:06,542 --> 00:23:08,666
- There'd be no harm in
stopping now, I'm thinking,
327
00:23:08,667 --> 00:23:10,124
and himself in it too.
328
00:23:10,125 --> 00:23:12,166
- You wouldn't stay when
there was need of you,
329
00:23:12,167 --> 00:23:14,999
so let you step off nimble
this time when there's none.
330
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,416
- Didn't I say it was Father Reilly-
331
00:23:17,417 --> 00:23:18,957
- Well go on, then, to Father Reilly,
332
00:23:18,958 --> 00:23:22,249
and let him put you in
the holy brotherhoods,
333
00:23:22,250 --> 00:23:23,749
and leave that lad to me.
334
00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:25,416
- If I see the Widow Quin-
- Will you go on, I'm saying.
335
00:23:25,417 --> 00:23:28,500
And stop waking this
place with your noise.
336
00:23:31,458 --> 00:23:35,458
That lad would wear the spirits
from the saints of peace.
337
00:23:46,625 --> 00:23:49,791
Let you stretch out now
by the fire, young fellow.
338
00:23:49,792 --> 00:23:52,458
You should be destroyed travelling.
339
00:23:53,875 --> 00:23:57,207
- I'm tired, surely, walking wild 11 days,
340
00:23:57,208 --> 00:23:59,082
and waking fearful in the night.
341
00:23:59,083 --> 00:24:02,166
- You should have had great
people in your family,
342
00:24:02,167 --> 00:24:06,624
I'm thinking, with the
little, small feet you have,
343
00:24:06,625 --> 00:24:09,416
and you with a kind of a quality name,
344
00:24:09,417 --> 00:24:11,999
the like of what you'd
find on the great powers
345
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,958
and potentates of France and Spain.
346
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,082
- We were great surely,
with wide and windy acres of
347
00:24:19,083 --> 00:24:20,166
rich Munster land.
348
00:24:20,167 --> 00:24:22,707
- Wasn't I telling you, and you a fine,
349
00:24:22,708 --> 00:24:26,416
handsome young fellow with a noble brow?
350
00:24:26,417 --> 00:24:28,166
- Is it me?
351
00:24:28,167 --> 00:24:29,000
- Aye.
352
00:24:29,001 --> 00:24:31,749
Did you never hear that from
the young girls where you come
353
00:24:31,750 --> 00:24:33,916
from in the west or south?
354
00:24:33,917 --> 00:24:35,291
- I did not then.
355
00:24:35,292 --> 00:24:38,207
Oh, they're bloody liars
in the naked parish
356
00:24:38,208 --> 00:24:39,666
where I grew a man.
357
00:24:39,667 --> 00:24:42,874
- If they are itself,
you've heard it these days,
358
00:24:42,875 --> 00:24:46,832
I'm thinking, and you walking the world
359
00:24:46,833 --> 00:24:51,124
telling out your story
to young girls or old.
360
00:24:51,125 --> 00:24:54,666
- I've told my story no place
till this night, Pegeen Mike,
361
00:24:54,667 --> 00:24:57,375
and it's foolish I was here, maybe,
to be talking free
362
00:25:01,208 --> 00:25:03,417
but you're decent people
363
00:25:03,500 --> 00:25:06,207
I'm thinking, and yourself a kindly woman,
364
00:25:06,208 --> 00:25:08,582
the way I wasn't fearing you at all.
365
00:25:08,583 --> 00:25:11,082
- You've said the like of that, maybe,
366
00:25:11,083 --> 00:25:13,166
in every cot or cabin where you've met
367
00:25:13,167 --> 00:25:14,917
a young girl on your way.
368
00:25:17,708 --> 00:25:21,124
- I've said it nowhere till
this night, I'm telling you,
369
00:25:21,125 --> 00:25:24,749
for I've seen none the like
of you the 11 long days
370
00:25:24,750 --> 00:25:28,124
I am walking the world,
looking over a low ditch or a
371
00:25:28,125 --> 00:25:30,582
high ditch on my north or my south,
372
00:25:30,583 --> 00:25:32,207
into stony scattered fields,
373
00:25:32,208 --> 00:25:34,166
where you'd see young, limber girls,
374
00:25:34,167 --> 00:25:37,625
and fine prancing women
making laughter with the men.
375
00:25:38,542 --> 00:25:41,625
- If you weren't destroyed travelling,
376
00:25:43,917 --> 00:25:45,833
you'd have as much talk
377
00:25:46,958 --> 00:25:51,249
as Owen Roe O'Sullivan or
the poets of the Dingle Bay,
378
00:25:51,250 --> 00:25:55,749
and I've heard all times
it's the poets are your like,
379
00:25:55,750 --> 00:25:59,624
fine fiery fellows with great rages
380
00:25:59,625 --> 00:26:01,375
when their temper's roused.
381
00:26:04,500 --> 00:26:07,417
- You've a power of rings, God bless you,
382
00:26:08,667 --> 00:26:09,791
and would there be any of fence
383
00:26:09,792 --> 00:26:11,667
if I was asking are you single now?
384
00:26:13,417 --> 00:26:15,333
- What would I want wedding so young?
385
00:26:17,375 --> 00:26:18,458
- We're alike, so.
386
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:24,750
- I never killed my father.
387
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,667
I'd be afeard to do that,
388
00:26:29,958 --> 00:26:34,166
except I was the like of
yourself with blind rages
389
00:26:34,167 --> 00:26:35,292
tearing me within,
390
00:26:36,208 --> 00:26:38,041
for I'm thinking you should have had great
391
00:26:38,042 --> 00:26:39,958
tussling when the end was come.
392
00:26:41,042 --> 00:26:45,624
- We had nothing, it was a hard
woman was come over the hill
393
00:26:45,625 --> 00:26:48,624
and if he was always a crusty
kind, we need a hard woman
394
00:26:48,625 --> 00:26:50,166
setting him on, like the devil himself
395
00:26:50,167 --> 00:26:52,666
or his forefathers could
put up with him at all.
396
00:26:52,667 --> 00:26:57,250
- And isn't it a great wonder
that one wasn't fearing you?
397
00:26:58,417 --> 00:27:01,374
- Up to the day I killed my
father, there wasn't a person
398
00:27:01,375 --> 00:27:02,917
in Ireland knew the kind I was,
399
00:27:04,250 --> 00:27:06,875
and I there drinking,
waking, eating, sleeping,
400
00:27:07,917 --> 00:27:12,041
a quiet, simple poor fellow
with no man giving me heed.
401
00:27:12,042 --> 00:27:14,707
- It was the girls were
giving you heed maybe,
402
00:27:14,708 --> 00:27:17,207
and I'm thinking it's most
403
00:27:17,208 --> 00:27:19,792
conceit you'd have to be
gaming with their like.
404
00:27:21,208 --> 00:27:24,249
- Not the girls itself,
and I won't tell you a lie.
405
00:27:24,250 --> 00:27:26,416
There wasn't anyone heeding
me in that place saving
406
00:27:26,417 --> 00:27:28,874
only the dumb beasts of the field.
407
00:27:28,875 --> 00:27:29,916
- And I thinking you
should have been living
408
00:27:29,917 --> 00:27:34,500
the like of a king of
Norway or the Eastern world.
409
00:27:36,083 --> 00:27:37,583
The like of a king, is it?
410
00:27:39,333 --> 00:27:41,582
And I after toiling, moiling, digging,
411
00:27:41,583 --> 00:27:44,999
dodging from the dawn till
dusk with never a sight
412
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,749
of joy or sport saving
only when I'd be abroad
413
00:27:47,750 --> 00:27:50,874
in the dark night
poaching rabbits on hills,
414
00:27:50,875 --> 00:27:52,957
for I was a devil to
poach, God forgive me,
415
00:27:52,958 --> 00:27:55,582
and I near got six months
for going with a dung fork
416
00:27:55,583 --> 00:27:57,291
and stabbing a fish.
417
00:27:57,292 --> 00:28:00,082
- And it's that you'd call sport, is it,
418
00:28:00,083 --> 00:28:02,958
to be abroad in the darkness
with yourself alone?
419
00:28:04,042 --> 00:28:05,792
- I did, God help me,
420
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,874
and then I'd be as happy as the sunshine
421
00:28:10,875 --> 00:28:12,541
of St. Martin's Day,
422
00:28:12,542 --> 00:28:14,874
watching the light passing the north
423
00:28:14,875 --> 00:28:15,999
or the patches of fog,
424
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,791
till I'd hear a rabbit starting to screech
425
00:28:17,792 --> 00:28:19,333
and I'd go running in the furs.
426
00:28:20,542 --> 00:28:24,082
Then when I'd my full
share I'd go walking down
427
00:28:24,083 --> 00:28:26,374
where you'd see the ducks
and geese stretched sleeping
428
00:28:26,375 --> 00:28:27,708
on the highway of the road,
429
00:28:28,833 --> 00:28:31,332
and before I'd pass the dunghill,
430
00:28:31,333 --> 00:28:33,041
I'd hear himself snoring out,
431
00:28:33,042 --> 00:28:35,624
a loud lonesome snore
he'd be making all times,
432
00:28:35,625 --> 00:28:36,957
the while he was sleeping,
433
00:28:36,958 --> 00:28:38,374
and he a man w0uld'd be raging all times,
434
00:28:38,375 --> 00:28:39,916
the while he was waking,
435
00:28:39,917 --> 00:28:42,082
like a gaudy officer you'd
hear him cursing and damning
436
00:28:42,083 --> 00:28:43,749
and swearing oaths.
437
00:28:43,750 --> 00:28:46,916
- Providence and Mercy, spare us all!
438
00:28:46,917 --> 00:28:48,582
- It's that you'd say
surely if you seen him
439
00:28:48,583 --> 00:28:51,832
and he after drinking for weeks,
rising up in the red dawn,
440
00:28:51,833 --> 00:28:53,291
or before it maybe,
441
00:28:53,292 --> 00:28:56,541
and going out into the yard
as naked as an ash tree
442
00:28:56,542 --> 00:28:57,833
in the moon of May.
443
00:28:58,792 --> 00:29:01,792
- I'd be well-night afeard of
that lad myself, I'm thinking.
444
00:29:03,500 --> 00:29:07,624
And there was no one in it
but the two of you alone?
445
00:29:07,625 --> 00:29:08,916
- The devil a one,
446
00:29:08,917 --> 00:29:10,374
though he had sons and
daughters walking all great
447
00:29:10,375 --> 00:29:11,999
states and territories of the world,
448
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,457
and not a one of them, to this day,
449
00:29:13,458 --> 00:29:15,749
but would say their seven curses on him.
450
00:29:15,750 --> 00:29:18,041
- Well, you should have been a queer lot.
451
00:29:18,042 --> 00:29:20,582
I never cursed my father the like of that.
452
00:29:20,583 --> 00:29:22,749
- Then you'd have cursed
mine, I'm telling you,
453
00:29:22,750 --> 00:29:25,166
and he a man never gave peace to any,
454
00:29:25,167 --> 00:29:26,957
saving only when he'd
get two months or three,
455
00:29:26,958 --> 00:29:29,624
or be locked in the asylums
for battering peelers
456
00:29:29,625 --> 00:29:30,667
or assaulting men.
457
00:29:31,875 --> 00:29:33,416
The way it was a bitter life he led me
458
00:29:33,417 --> 00:29:36,666
till I did up a Tuesday
and halve his skull.
459
00:29:36,667 --> 00:29:39,417
- Well, you'll have peace in
this place, Christy Mahon,
460
00:29:40,625 --> 00:29:43,207
and none to trouble you,
461
00:29:43,208 --> 00:29:45,999
and it's near time a fine lad like you
462
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,666
had your good share of the earth.
463
00:29:48,667 --> 00:29:49,707
- It's time surely,
464
00:29:49,708 --> 00:29:52,832
and I a seemly fellow
with great strength in me
465
00:29:52,833 --> 00:29:54,124
and bravery of-
466
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:55,833
Glory!
467
00:29:55,833 --> 00:29:56,792
It's late for knocking.
468
00:29:56,793 --> 00:29:58,624
And this last while I'm
in terror of the peelers,
469
00:29:58,625 --> 00:29:59,958
and the walking dead.
470
00:30:05,208 --> 00:30:06,249
- Who's there?
471
00:30:06,250 --> 00:30:07,083
Me.
472
00:30:07,084 --> 00:30:08,416
- Who's me?
473
00:30:08,417 --> 00:30:10,917
The Widow Quin.
474
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,957
- Go on now with your supper,
and let on to be sleepy,
475
00:30:18,958 --> 00:30:21,707
for if she found you were
such a warrant to talk,
476
00:30:21,708 --> 00:30:24,917
she'd be stringing gabble
till the dawn of day.
477
00:30:29,292 --> 00:30:30,332
What ails you,
478
00:30:30,333 --> 00:30:33,041
or what is it you're wanting
at this hour of the night?
479
00:30:33,042 --> 00:30:35,541
- I'm after meeting Shawn
Keogh and Father Reilly below,
480
00:30:35,542 --> 00:30:37,457
who told me of your curiosity man,
481
00:30:37,458 --> 00:30:40,249
and they fearing by this
time he was maybe roaring,
482
00:30:40,250 --> 00:30:41,957
romping on your hands with drink.
483
00:30:41,958 --> 00:30:43,999
- Look now is he roaring,
484
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,291
and he stretched out
drowsy with his supper
485
00:30:46,292 --> 00:30:47,749
and his mug of milk.
486
00:30:47,750 --> 00:30:50,249
Walk down and tell that to Father Reilly
487
00:30:50,250 --> 00:30:52,249
and to Shaneen Keogh.
488
00:30:52,250 --> 00:30:53,208
- I'll not see them again,
489
00:30:53,209 --> 00:30:55,624
for I've their word to
lead that lad forward
490
00:30:55,625 --> 00:30:57,541
for to lodge with me.
491
00:30:57,542 --> 00:30:58,749
- This night, is it?
492
00:30:58,750 --> 00:30:59,832
- This night.
493
00:30:59,833 --> 00:31:01,332
"It isn't fitting," says the priesteen,
494
00:31:01,333 --> 00:31:04,624
"to have his likeness lodging
with an orphaned girl."
495
00:31:04,625 --> 00:31:05,999
God save you, mister!
496
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,832
- God save you kindly.
497
00:31:07,833 --> 00:31:12,833
- Well, aren't you a
little smiling fellow?
498
00:31:13,625 --> 00:31:15,749
It should have been
great and bitter torments
499
00:31:15,750 --> 00:31:18,999
did rouse your spirits to a deed of blood.
500
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,291
- It should, maybe.
501
00:31:20,292 --> 00:31:22,332
- It's more than "maybe" I'm saying,
502
00:31:22,333 --> 00:31:26,457
and it'd soften my
heart to see you sitting
503
00:31:26,458 --> 00:31:28,999
so simple with your cup and cake,
504
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,999
and you fitter to be saying your catechism
505
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,874
than slaying your da.
506
00:31:33,875 --> 00:31:37,416
- There's talk when any'd
see he's fit to be holding
507
00:31:37,417 --> 00:31:39,832
his head high with the
wonders of the world.
508
00:31:39,833 --> 00:31:40,916
Walk on from this,
509
00:31:40,917 --> 00:31:43,957
for I'll not have him
tormented and he destroyed
510
00:31:43,958 --> 00:31:45,749
travelling since Tuesday was a week.
511
00:31:45,750 --> 00:31:48,791
- We'll be walking surely
when his supper's done,
512
00:31:48,792 --> 00:31:51,832
and you'll find we're great
company, young fellow,
513
00:31:51,833 --> 00:31:53,041
when it's of the like of you and me
514
00:31:53,042 --> 00:31:57,624
you'd hear the penny poets
singing in an August Fair.
515
00:31:57,625 --> 00:31:58,957
- Did you kill your father?
516
00:31:58,958 --> 00:32:00,499
- She did not.
517
00:32:00,500 --> 00:32:03,624
She hit himself with a worn pick,
518
00:32:03,625 --> 00:32:06,166
and the rusted poison
did corrode his blood
519
00:32:06,167 --> 00:32:08,916
the way he never overed
it, and died after.
520
00:32:08,917 --> 00:32:11,249
That was a sneaky kind of murder
521
00:32:11,250 --> 00:32:13,583
did win small glory with the boys itself.
522
00:32:14,583 --> 00:32:18,666
- If it didn't, maybe
all knows a widow woman
523
00:32:18,667 --> 00:32:21,124
has buried her children
and destroyed her man
524
00:32:21,125 --> 00:32:24,832
is a wiser comrade for
a young lad than a girl,
525
00:32:24,833 --> 00:32:27,624
the like of you, who'd
go helter-skeltering
526
00:32:27,625 --> 00:32:29,999
after any man would let
you a wink upon the road.
527
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,582
- And you'll say that, Widow Quin,
528
00:32:32,583 --> 00:32:36,166
and you gasping with the
rage you had racing the hill
529
00:32:36,167 --> 00:32:37,582
beyond to look on his face.
530
00:32:37,583 --> 00:32:38,666
- Me, is it?
531
00:32:38,667 --> 00:32:43,374
Well, Father Reilly has
cuteness to divide you now.
532
00:32:43,375 --> 00:32:47,041
There's great temptation
in a man did slay his da,
533
00:32:47,042 --> 00:32:48,832
and we'd best be going, young fellow,
534
00:32:48,833 --> 00:32:50,166
so rise up and come with me.
535
00:32:50,167 --> 00:32:52,249
- He'll not stir.
536
00:32:52,250 --> 00:32:54,041
He's pot-boy in this place,
537
00:32:54,042 --> 00:32:56,457
and I'll not have him
stolen off and kidnapped
538
00:32:56,458 --> 00:32:57,999
while himself's abroad.
539
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,791
- It'd be a crazy pot-b0y'd
lodge him in the shebeen
540
00:32:59,792 --> 00:33:01,666
where he works by day,
541
00:33:01,667 --> 00:33:03,666
so you'd have a right to
come on, young fellow,
542
00:33:03,667 --> 00:33:05,332
till you see my little houseen,
543
00:33:05,333 --> 00:33:06,957
a perch off on the rising hill.
544
00:33:06,958 --> 00:33:08,624
- Wait till morning, Christy Mahon.
545
00:33:08,625 --> 00:33:11,332
Wait till you see her leaky thatch
546
00:33:11,333 --> 00:33:13,041
is growing more pasture for her buck goat
547
00:33:13,042 --> 00:33:15,124
than her square of fields,
548
00:33:15,125 --> 00:33:16,749
and her without a tramp itself
549
00:33:16,750 --> 00:33:18,666
to keep in order the place at all.
550
00:33:18,667 --> 00:33:21,124
- When you see me contriving
in my little gardens,
551
00:33:21,125 --> 00:33:24,374
Christy Mahon, you'll swear
the Lord God formed me
552
00:33:24,375 --> 00:33:26,874
to be living lone, and that there isn't my
553
00:33:26,875 --> 00:33:29,666
match in Mayo for mowing, or
thatching, or shearing a sheep.
554
00:33:29,667 --> 00:33:34,332
- It's true the Lord God
farmed you contriving deed.
555
00:33:34,333 --> 00:33:36,791
Doesn't the world know
you'd kill a black rabbit
556
00:33:36,792 --> 00:33:37,957
at your own breast?
557
00:33:37,958 --> 00:33:40,249
Doesn't the world know
you were seen shaving
558
00:33:40,250 --> 00:33:42,457
the foxy skipper from
France, for a trumpet
559
00:33:42,458 --> 00:33:45,791
and supper of grass tobacco
would ring the liver
560
00:33:45,792 --> 00:33:48,707
from a mountain goat
you meet in the hills?
561
00:33:48,708 --> 00:33:49,999
- Do you hear her now young fellow?
562
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,666
Do you hear the way she'll
be raving at your own self
563
00:33:52,667 --> 00:33:53,749
when a week is by?
564
00:33:53,750 --> 00:33:54,708
- Don't mind her.
565
00:33:54,709 --> 00:33:57,749
Tell her to go into her
pigsty and not plague us here.
566
00:33:57,750 --> 00:34:00,500
- I'm going, but he'll come with me.
567
00:34:02,750 --> 00:34:04,250
- Are you dumb, young fellow?
568
00:34:06,583 --> 00:34:10,000
- God save you, but
I'm pot-boy in this place,
569
00:34:10,917 --> 00:34:12,624
and it's here I'd liefer stay.
570
00:34:12,625 --> 00:34:17,416
- Now you have heard him, and
let you walk on from this.
571
00:34:17,417 --> 00:34:20,374
- It's lonesome this
hour crossing the hill,
572
00:34:20,375 --> 00:34:22,124
and if he won't come along with me,
573
00:34:22,125 --> 00:34:25,042
I'd have a right maybe to stop
this night with yourselves.
574
00:34:26,542 --> 00:34:29,124
Let me stretch out on
the settle, Pegeen Mike,
575
00:34:29,125 --> 00:34:30,874
and himself can lie by the hearth.
576
00:34:30,875 --> 00:34:32,791
- Faith, I won't.
577
00:34:32,792 --> 00:34:36,582
Quit off or I will send you now.
578
00:34:36,583 --> 00:34:40,291
- Well, it's a terror to be aged a score.
579
00:34:40,292 --> 00:34:43,666
God bless you now, young
fellow, and let you be wary,
580
00:34:43,667 --> 00:34:46,499
or there's right torment
will await you here
581
00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:50,874
if you go romancing with her
like, and she waiting only,
582
00:34:50,875 --> 00:34:53,749
as they bade me say, on
a sheepskin parchment
583
00:34:53,750 --> 00:34:56,833
to be wed with Shawn Keogh of Killakeen.
584
00:35:10,875 --> 00:35:11,792
- What's that she's after saying?
585
00:35:11,793 --> 00:35:14,833
- Lies and blather,
you've no call to mind.
586
00:35:15,667 --> 00:35:18,332
Well, isn't Shawn Keogh an impudent fellow
587
00:35:18,333 --> 00:35:20,416
to send up spying on me?
588
00:35:20,417 --> 00:35:22,457
Wait till I lay hands on him.
589
00:35:22,458 --> 00:35:24,207
Let him wait, I'm saying.
590
00:35:24,208 --> 00:35:25,707
- And you're not wedding him at all?
591
00:35:25,708 --> 00:35:28,082
- I wouldn't wed him if
a bishop came walking for
592
00:35:28,083 --> 00:35:29,292
to join us here.
593
00:35:30,417 --> 00:35:32,583
- That God in his glory
may be thanked for that.
594
00:35:50,625 --> 00:35:52,832
- There's your bed now.
595
00:35:52,833 --> 00:35:54,541
I've put a quilt upon it,
596
00:35:54,542 --> 00:35:57,958
I'm after quilting a while
since with my own two hands,
597
00:36:00,125 --> 00:36:02,250
and let you stretch
out now for your sleep,
598
00:36:09,417 --> 00:36:11,166
and may God give you a good rest
599
00:36:11,167 --> 00:36:14,042
till I call you in the morning
when the cocks will crow.
600
00:36:15,500 --> 00:36:18,332
- May God and Mary and St.
Patrick bless you and reward you,
601
00:36:18,333 --> 00:36:20,208
for your kindly talk.
602
00:36:56,708 --> 00:37:00,042
Well, it's a clean bed and soft with it,
603
00:37:06,750 --> 00:37:07,832
and it's great luck and company
604
00:37:07,833 --> 00:37:09,417
I've won me in the end of time,
605
00:37:13,917 --> 00:37:16,625
two fine women fighting
for the likes of me,
606
00:37:21,708 --> 00:37:24,291
till I'm thinking this night
607
00:37:24,292 --> 00:37:26,332
wasn't I a foolish fellow not to kill my
608
00:37:26,333 --> 00:37:27,958
father in the years gone by.
609
00:37:56,250 --> 00:37:59,291
Well, this'd be a fine
place to be my whole life
610
00:37:59,292 --> 00:38:02,291
talking out with swearing Christians,
611
00:38:02,292 --> 00:38:05,041
in place of my old dogs and cat,
612
00:38:05,042 --> 00:38:07,874
and I stalking around,
613
00:38:07,875 --> 00:38:09,708
smoking my pipe and drinking my fill,
614
00:38:10,750 --> 00:38:13,374
and never a day's work but
drawing a cork an odd time,
615
00:38:13,375 --> 00:38:15,416
or wiping a old glass,
616
00:38:15,417 --> 00:38:17,792
or rinsing out a shiny
tumbler for a decent man.
617
00:38:27,292 --> 00:38:29,292
Didn't I know rightly I was handsome,
618
00:38:30,667 --> 00:38:33,416
though it was the devil's
own mirror we had beyond,
619
00:38:33,417 --> 00:38:35,625
would twist a squint
across an angel's brow,
620
00:38:37,333 --> 00:38:39,582
and I'll be growing fine from this day,
621
00:38:39,583 --> 00:38:42,457
the way I'll have a soft lovely skin on me
622
00:38:42,458 --> 00:38:44,207
and won't be the like of the clumsy young
623
00:38:44,208 --> 00:38:47,042
fellows do be ploughing all
times in the earth and dung.
624
00:38:55,583 --> 00:38:56,875
Stranger girls.
625
00:39:09,083 --> 00:39:10,457
God help me,
626
00:39:10,458 --> 00:39:15,375
where'|| I hide myself and my
long neck naked to the world?
627
00:39:32,542 --> 00:39:34,125
- There's surely nobody with us.
628
00:39:36,708 --> 00:39:39,249
- It'd be early for them both
to be out walking the hill.
629
00:39:39,250 --> 00:39:41,707
- I'm thinking Shawn Keogh
was making game of us
630
00:39:41,708 --> 00:39:44,125
and there's no such man in it at all.
631
00:39:46,083 --> 00:39:47,332
- Look at that.
632
00:39:47,333 --> 00:39:50,416
He's been sleeping there in the night.
633
00:39:50,417 --> 00:39:52,207
Well, it'll be a hard
case if he's gone off now,
634
00:39:52,208 --> 00:39:53,916
the way we'll never set our eyes
635
00:39:53,917 --> 00:39:55,791
on the man that killed his father,
636
00:39:55,792 --> 00:39:58,041
and we after rising early
637
00:39:58,042 --> 00:40:00,416
and destroying ourselves
running fast on the hill.
638
00:40:00,417 --> 00:40:04,041
- Are you thinking them's his boots?
639
00:40:04,042 --> 00:40:07,791
- If they are, there should
be his father's track on them.
640
00:40:07,792 --> 00:40:09,541
Did you never read in the papers the way
641
00:40:09,542 --> 00:40:11,542
murdered men do bleed and drip?
642
00:40:13,167 --> 00:40:14,917
- Is that blood there, Sara Tansey?
643
00:40:17,333 --> 00:40:18,957
- That's bog water, I'm thinking,
644
00:40:18,958 --> 00:40:21,291
but it's his own they are surely,
645
00:40:21,292 --> 00:40:23,499
for I never seen the
like of them for red mud,
646
00:40:23,500 --> 00:40:25,707
and whit y mud, and turf on them,
647
00:40:25,708 --> 00:40:28,374
and the fine sands of the sea.
648
00:40:28,375 --> 00:40:30,749
That man's been walking, I'm telling you.
649
00:40:30,750 --> 00:40:32,207
- Maybe he's stolen off to Belmullet
650
00:40:32,208 --> 00:40:34,291
with the boots of Michael James,
651
00:40:34,292 --> 00:40:35,292
and it's you who sort of a right
652
00:40:35,293 --> 00:40:37,124
to go after him, Sara Tansey?
653
00:40:37,125 --> 00:40:39,125
- Don't be talking, and we fooled today.
654
00:40:42,625 --> 00:40:44,208
There's a pair do fit me well,
655
00:40:46,708 --> 00:40:50,374
and I'll be keeping them
for going up to the priest,
656
00:40:50,375 --> 00:40:51,707
when you'd be ashamed this place,
657
00:40:51,708 --> 00:40:54,332
going up winter and summer
with nothing worth while
658
00:40:54,333 --> 00:40:55,916
to confess at all.
659
00:40:55,917 --> 00:40:56,917
- Whisht!
660
00:40:57,708 --> 00:40:59,625
There's somebody inside in the room.
661
00:41:09,708 --> 00:41:10,708
It's a man.
662
00:41:13,542 --> 00:41:14,583
- I'll call him.
663
00:41:21,042 --> 00:41:23,292
Mister!
664
00:41:24,333 --> 00:41:25,583
Is Pegeen within?
665
00:41:27,500 --> 00:41:31,083
- She's above on the hill,
seeking the nanny goats,
666
00:41:34,125 --> 00:41:37,083
the way she'd have a sup of
goat's milk for to colour my tea.
667
00:41:38,500 --> 00:41:40,374
- And asking your pardon,
668
00:41:40,375 --> 00:41:42,999
is it you's the man killed his father?
669
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,499
- I am, God help me!
670
00:41:44,500 --> 00:41:46,791
- Then my thousand welcomes to you,
671
00:41:46,792 --> 00:41:50,041
and I've run up with a brace
of duck's eggs for your food.
672
00:41:50,042 --> 00:41:54,832
Pegeen's ducks is no use, but
these are the real rich sort.
673
00:41:54,833 --> 00:41:57,082
Hold out your hand and
you'll see it's no lie
674
00:41:57,083 --> 00:41:58,083
I'm telling you.
675
00:41:59,542 --> 00:42:00,542
- They're a great and weighty size.
676
00:42:00,543 --> 00:42:02,707
- And I run up with a pat of butter,
677
00:42:02,708 --> 00:42:05,499
for it'd be a sad thing to
have you eating your spuds dry,
678
00:42:05,500 --> 00:42:07,291
and you after running a great way
679
00:42:07,292 --> 00:42:09,332
since you did destroy your da.
680
00:42:09,333 --> 00:42:10,625
- Thank you kindly.
681
00:42:12,125 --> 00:42:13,707
- And I brought you a little cut of cake,
682
00:42:13,708 --> 00:42:16,291
for you should have a thin stomach on you,
683
00:42:16,292 --> 00:42:17,957
and you that length walking the world.
684
00:42:17,958 --> 00:42:19,791
- And I brought you a
little boiled pullet,
685
00:42:19,792 --> 00:42:23,457
was crushed at the fall of
night by the curate's car.
686
00:42:23,458 --> 00:42:25,417
Feel the fat of that breast, Mister.
687
00:42:28,458 --> 00:42:29,708
- It's bursting, surely.
688
00:42:30,708 --> 00:42:31,999
- Will you pinch it?
689
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,958
Is your right hand too
sacred for to use at all?
690
00:42:39,042 --> 00:42:41,582
It's a glass he has.
691
00:42:41,583 --> 00:42:43,374
Well, I never to this day seen a man
692
00:42:43,375 --> 00:42:45,749
with a looking-glass held to his back.
693
00:42:45,750 --> 00:42:49,042
Them that kills their
fathers is a vain lot surely.
694
00:42:53,667 --> 00:42:56,000
- I'm very thankful to you all today.
695
00:43:01,667 --> 00:43:04,457
- What in glory has you
here at this hour of day?
696
00:43:04,458 --> 00:43:06,291
- That's the man killed his father.
697
00:43:06,292 --> 00:43:08,624
- I know well it's the man,
698
00:43:08,625 --> 00:43:10,541
and I'm after putting him
down in the sports below
699
00:43:10,542 --> 00:43:13,416
for racing, leaping, pitching,
and the Lord knows what.
700
00:43:13,417 --> 00:43:15,082
- That's right, Widow Quin.
701
00:43:15,083 --> 00:43:17,791
I'll bet my dowry that
he'll lick the world.
702
00:43:17,792 --> 00:43:19,499
- If you will, you'd have
a right to have him fresh
703
00:43:19,500 --> 00:43:21,624
and nourished in place of nursing a feast.
704
00:43:21,625 --> 00:43:23,542
Are you fasting or fed, young fellow?
705
00:43:24,500 --> 00:43:25,957
- Fasting, if you please.
706
00:43:25,958 --> 00:43:27,707
- Well, you're the lot.
707
00:43:27,708 --> 00:43:29,374
Stir up now and give him his breakfast.
708
00:43:29,375 --> 00:43:32,207
Come here to me and let
you tell us your story
709
00:43:32,208 --> 00:43:33,957
before Pegeen will come,
710
00:43:33,958 --> 00:43:36,541
in place of grinning your
ears off like the moon of May.
711
00:43:36,542 --> 00:43:40,832
- It's a long story, you'd
be destroyed listening.
712
00:43:40,833 --> 00:43:42,707
- Don't be letting on to be shy,
713
00:43:42,708 --> 00:43:46,666
a fine, gamey, treacherous
lad the like of you.
714
00:43:46,667 --> 00:43:49,417
Was it in your house beyond
you cracked his skull?
715
00:43:50,250 --> 00:43:51,916
- It was not.
716
00:43:51,917 --> 00:43:55,832
We were digging spuds in
his cold, stony, sloping,
717
00:43:55,833 --> 00:43:57,707
devil's patch of a field.
718
00:43:57,708 --> 00:43:59,207
- And you went asking money of him,
719
00:43:59,208 --> 00:44:00,666
or making talk of getting a wife
720
00:44:00,667 --> 00:44:02,582
would drive him from his farm?
721
00:44:02,583 --> 00:44:03,583
- I did not, then,
722
00:44:05,042 --> 00:44:07,916
but there I was, digging and digging,
723
00:44:07,917 --> 00:44:10,666
and "You squinting idiot," says he,
724
00:44:10,667 --> 00:44:12,457
"let you walk down now
and tell the priest you'll"
725
00:44:12,458 --> 00:44:15,249
"wed the Widow Casey in a score of days."
726
00:44:15,250 --> 00:44:16,457
- And what kind was she?
727
00:44:16,458 --> 00:44:18,749
- A walking horror from beyond the hills,
728
00:44:18,750 --> 00:44:21,582
and she two score and five years,
729
00:44:21,583 --> 00:44:24,749
and 200 weights and five
pounds in the weighing scales,
730
00:44:24,750 --> 00:44:25,999
with a limping leg on her,
731
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,125
and a blinded eye,
732
00:44:28,125 --> 00:44:30,957
and she a woman of noted
misbehaviour with the old and young.
733
00:44:30,958 --> 00:44:31,958
- Glory be.
734
00:44:33,167 --> 00:44:35,541
- And what did he want
driving you to wed with her?
735
00:44:35,542 --> 00:44:37,249
- He was letting on that
I was wanting a protector
736
00:44:37,250 --> 00:44:39,082
against the harshness of the world,
737
00:44:39,083 --> 00:44:40,332
and he without a thought the whole while
738
00:44:40,333 --> 00:44:43,292
but how he'd have her hut to
live in and her gold to drink.
739
00:44:44,792 --> 00:44:46,916
- There's maybe worse than a dry hearth
740
00:44:46,917 --> 00:44:49,958
and a widow woman and your glass at night.
741
00:44:51,167 --> 00:44:52,541
So you hit him then?
742
00:44:52,542 --> 00:44:53,417
- I did not.
743
00:44:53,418 --> 00:44:55,041
"I won't wed her," says I,
744
00:44:55,042 --> 00:44:57,416
"when all know she did
suckle me for six weeks
745
00:44:57,417 --> 00:44:58,749
"when I came into the world,
746
00:44:58,750 --> 00:45:00,999
"and she a hag this day
with a tongue on her"
747
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,707
"has the crows and seabirds scattered,"
748
00:45:02,708 --> 00:45:04,582
"the way they wouldn't
cast a shadow on her garden"
749
00:45:04,583 --> 00:45:05,999
"with the dread of her curse."
750
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,582
- That one should be right company.
751
00:45:08,583 --> 00:45:09,917
- Don't mind her.
752
00:45:10,875 --> 00:45:12,083
Did you kill him then?
753
00:45:13,083 --> 00:45:15,582
- "She's too good for the
like of you," says he.
754
00:45:15,583 --> 00:45:16,874
"Go on now or I'll flatten you"
755
00:45:16,875 --> 00:45:19,707
"like a crawling beast
has passed under a dray."
756
00:45:19,708 --> 00:45:22,416
"You will not if I can help it," says I.
757
00:45:22,417 --> 00:45:25,457
"Go on or I'll have the
devil making garters"
758
00:45:25,458 --> 00:45:27,124
"of your limbs tonight."
759
00:45:27,125 --> 00:45:28,916
"You will not if I can help it," says I.
760
00:45:28,917 --> 00:45:30,666
- You were right surely.
761
00:45:30,667 --> 00:45:34,291
- And with that the sun
came out between the cloud
762
00:45:34,292 --> 00:45:38,624
and the hill, and it
shining green in my face.
763
00:45:38,625 --> 00:45:41,624
"God have mercy on your soul," says he,
764
00:45:41,625 --> 00:45:46,375
lifting a scythe, "or on your
own," says I, raising the loy.
765
00:45:47,583 --> 00:45:48,458
- That's a grand story.
766
00:45:48,458 --> 00:45:49,292
- He tells it lovely.
767
00:45:49,293 --> 00:45:51,166
- He gave a drive with the scythe,
768
00:45:51,167 --> 00:45:53,249
and I gave a lep to the east.
769
00:45:53,250 --> 00:45:56,082
Then I turned around with
my back to the north,
770
00:45:56,083 --> 00:45:58,874
and I hit a blow on
the ridge of his skull,
771
00:45:58,875 --> 00:46:00,582
laid him stretched out,
772
00:46:00,583 --> 00:46:04,332
and he split to the knob of his gullet.
773
00:46:04,333 --> 00:46:06,333
- You're the lad surely!
774
00:46:08,583 --> 00:46:11,957
- I'm thinking the Lord
God sent him this road
775
00:46:11,958 --> 00:46:14,082
to make a second husband
to the Widow Quin,
776
00:46:14,083 --> 00:46:17,249
and she with a great
yearning to be wedded,
777
00:46:17,250 --> 00:46:18,957
though all about dread her here.
778
00:46:18,958 --> 00:46:20,874
Lift him up now on her knee, Sara Tansey.
779
00:46:20,875 --> 00:46:21,875
- Don't tease him.
780
00:46:21,876 --> 00:46:25,374
- You're heroes surely,
and let you drink a supeen
781
00:46:25,375 --> 00:46:28,041
with your arms linked
like the outlandish lovers
782
00:46:28,042 --> 00:46:29,583
in the sailor's song.
783
00:46:31,042 --> 00:46:32,541
There now.
784
00:46:32,542 --> 00:46:35,499
Let you drink a health to the
wonders of the western world,
785
00:46:35,500 --> 00:46:38,082
the pirates, preachers, and poteen-makers,
786
00:46:38,083 --> 00:46:41,541
with the jobbing jockies,
and the parching peelers,
787
00:46:41,542 --> 00:46:43,666
and the juries fill their stomachs selling
788
00:46:43,667 --> 00:46:45,999
judgments of the English law.
789
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,041
- That's a right toast, Sara Tansey.
790
00:46:48,042 --> 00:46:49,208
Now Christy.
791
00:46:52,125 --> 00:46:53,707
- What is it you're wanting?
792
00:46:53,708 --> 00:46:54,832
- An ounce of tobacco.
793
00:46:54,833 --> 00:46:55,667
- Have you tuppence?
794
00:46:55,668 --> 00:46:57,291
- I've forgotten my purse.
795
00:46:57,292 --> 00:46:58,541
- Well then you'd best be getting it
796
00:46:58,542 --> 00:47:00,417
and not fooling us here.
797
00:47:06,542 --> 00:47:10,791
And what is it you're wanting, Widow Quin?
798
00:47:10,792 --> 00:47:11,999
- A penn'orth of starch.
799
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,416
- And you without a white shirt or a shift
800
00:47:13,417 --> 00:47:16,874
in your whole family since
the drying of the flood.
801
00:47:16,875 --> 00:47:18,749
I've no starch for the likes of you,
802
00:47:18,750 --> 00:47:20,667
and let you walk on now to Killamuck.
803
00:47:22,875 --> 00:47:25,667
- Well, you're mighty huffy
this day, Pegeen Mike,
804
00:47:26,833 --> 00:47:29,332
and, you young fellow, let
you not forget the sports
805
00:47:29,333 --> 00:47:31,250
and racing when the noon is by.
806
00:47:39,750 --> 00:47:44,500
- Fling out that rubbish
and put them cups away.
807
00:47:46,917 --> 00:47:48,583
And put the bench by the wall.
808
00:47:54,583 --> 00:47:56,666
And hang that glass on the nail.
809
00:47:56,667 --> 00:47:58,291
What disturbed it at all?
810
00:47:58,292 --> 00:48:00,957
- I was making myself decent only,
811
00:48:00,958 --> 00:48:03,582
and this a fine country
for young lovely girls.
812
00:48:03,583 --> 00:48:05,458
- Whisht your talking of girls.
813
00:48:06,625 --> 00:48:09,166
- Wouldn't any wish to
be decent in a place...
814
00:48:09,167 --> 00:48:10,833
- Whisht I'm saying.
815
00:48:13,042 --> 00:48:15,416
- It was with a loy the like
of that I killed my father.
816
00:48:15,417 --> 00:48:20,333
- You've told me that story six
times since the dawn of day.
817
00:48:22,042 --> 00:48:23,042
- Isn't it a queer thing
you wouldn't care to be
818
00:48:23,043 --> 00:48:26,166
hearing it and them girls
after walking four miles
819
00:48:26,167 --> 00:48:27,624
to be listening to me now.
820
00:48:27,625 --> 00:48:28,875
- Four miles.
821
00:48:30,750 --> 00:48:34,874
That lot came over the
river lepping the stones.
822
00:48:34,875 --> 00:48:37,417
It's not three perches
when you go like that,
823
00:48:40,167 --> 00:48:42,957
and I was down this morning
looking on the papers
824
00:48:42,958 --> 00:48:45,374
the post-boy does have in his bag.
825
00:48:45,375 --> 00:48:49,958
For there was great news
this day, Christopher Mahon.
826
00:48:54,208 --> 00:48:55,374
- Is it news of my murder'?
827
00:48:55,375 --> 00:48:56,624
- Murder, indeed.
828
00:48:56,625 --> 00:48:57,458
- A murdered da?
829
00:48:57,459 --> 00:48:58,749
- There was not,
830
00:48:58,750 --> 00:49:02,457
but a story filled half a page
about the hanging of a man.
831
00:49:02,458 --> 00:49:05,291
Ah, that should be a
fearful end, young fellow,
832
00:49:05,292 --> 00:49:08,707
and it worst of all for a
man who destroyed his da,
833
00:49:08,708 --> 00:49:10,874
for there is small mercies
for the like of him,
834
00:49:10,875 --> 00:49:15,207
and when it's dead he is, they'd
put him in a narrow grave,
835
00:49:15,208 --> 00:49:18,249
with cheap sacking wrapping him round,
836
00:49:18,250 --> 00:49:20,416
and pour down quicklime on his head,
837
00:49:20,417 --> 00:49:23,124
the way you'd see a woman throw
any frish-f rash from a cup.
838
00:49:23,125 --> 00:49:24,208
- Oh, God help me.
839
00:49:25,375 --> 00:49:27,082
Are you thinking I'm safe?
840
00:49:27,083 --> 00:49:28,249
You were saying at the fall of night,
841
00:49:28,250 --> 00:49:30,457
I was shut of jeopardy and
I here with yourselves.
842
00:49:30,458 --> 00:49:33,457
- You'll be shut of jeopardy
no place if you go talking
843
00:49:33,458 --> 00:49:35,707
with a pack of wild girls the like of them
844
00:49:35,708 --> 00:49:38,916
do be walking abroad with the peelers,
845
00:49:38,917 --> 00:49:42,082
talking whispers at the fall of night.
846
00:49:42,083 --> 00:49:43,582
- And you're thinking they'd tell?
847
00:49:43,583 --> 00:49:45,833
- Who knows, God help you.
848
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,416
- What joy would they
have to bring hanging
849
00:49:48,417 --> 00:49:49,499
to the likes of me?
850
00:49:49,500 --> 00:49:52,082
- It's queer joys they have,
851
00:49:52,083 --> 00:49:53,624
and who knows the thing they'd do,
852
00:49:53,625 --> 00:49:56,875
if it'd make the green stones cry itself
853
00:49:57,750 --> 00:50:00,416
to think of you swaying and swiggling
854
00:50:00,417 --> 00:50:01,957
at the butt of a rope,
855
00:50:01,958 --> 00:50:04,707
and you with a fine,
stout neck, God bless you!
856
00:50:04,708 --> 00:50:08,041
The way you'd be a half
an hour, in anguish,
857
00:50:08,042 --> 00:50:09,499
getting your death.
858
00:50:09,500 --> 00:50:14,332
- If there's that terror of
them, it'd be best, maybe,
859
00:50:14,333 --> 00:50:17,666
I went on wandering like
Esau or Cain and Abel
860
00:50:17,667 --> 00:50:20,124
on the sides of Neifin or the Erris plain.
861
00:50:20,125 --> 00:50:22,957
- It would, maybe, for I've
heard the Circuit Judges
862
00:50:22,958 --> 00:50:24,957
this place is a heartless crew.
863
00:50:24,958 --> 00:50:27,499
- It's more than Judges this
place is a heartless crew.
864
00:50:27,500 --> 00:50:30,749
And isn't it a poor thing
to be starting again
865
00:50:30,750 --> 00:50:34,666
and I a lonesome fellow will
be looking on women and girls
866
00:50:34,667 --> 00:50:37,999
the way the needy fallen spirits
do be looking on the Lord?
867
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,874
- What call have you to be that lonesome
868
00:50:39,875 --> 00:50:44,875
when there's poor girls walking
Mayo in their thousands now?
869
00:50:45,292 --> 00:50:47,749
- It's well you know what call I have.
870
00:50:47,750 --> 00:50:49,916
It's well you know it's a lonesome thing
871
00:50:49,917 --> 00:50:53,041
to be passing small towns
with the lights shining
872
00:50:53,042 --> 00:50:55,541
sideways when the night is down,
873
00:50:55,542 --> 00:50:58,416
or going in strange
places with a dog nosing
874
00:50:58,417 --> 00:51:00,667
before you and a dog nosing behind,
875
00:51:01,708 --> 00:51:05,416
or drawn to the cities where
you'd hear a voice kissing
876
00:51:05,417 --> 00:51:08,333
and talking deep love in
every shadow of the ditch,
877
00:51:09,500 --> 00:51:11,249
and you passing on with an empty,
878
00:51:11,250 --> 00:51:13,999
hungry stomach failing from your heart.
879
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:18,082
- I'm thinking you're an
odd man, Christy Mahon.
880
00:51:18,083 --> 00:51:22,249
The oddest walking fellow
I ever set my eyes on
881
00:51:22,250 --> 00:51:23,583
to this hour today.
882
00:51:25,583 --> 00:51:26,666
- What would any be but odd men
883
00:51:26,667 --> 00:51:29,707
and they living lonesome in the world?
884
00:51:29,708 --> 00:51:33,500
- I'm not odd, and I'm my
whole life with my father only.
885
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,624
- How could a lovely handsome
woman the like of you
886
00:51:37,625 --> 00:51:40,916
be lonesome when all men should
be thronging around to hear
887
00:51:40,917 --> 00:51:42,666
the sweetness of your voice,
888
00:51:42,667 --> 00:51:44,166
and the little infant children should be
889
00:51:44,167 --> 00:51:45,832
pestering your steps I'm thinking,
890
00:51:45,833 --> 00:51:47,624
and you walking the roads.
891
00:51:47,625 --> 00:51:50,832
- I'm hard set to know
what way a coaxing fellow
892
00:51:50,833 --> 00:51:53,457
the like of yourself
should be lonesome either.
893
00:51:53,458 --> 00:51:54,458
- Coaxing?
894
00:51:57,625 --> 00:51:59,707
- Would you have me think a
man never talked with the girls
895
00:51:59,708 --> 00:52:03,083
would have the words you've spoken today?
896
00:52:05,583 --> 00:52:07,916
It's only letting on
you are to be lonesome,
897
00:52:07,917 --> 00:52:10,417
the way you'd get around me now.
898
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:13,750
- I wish to God I was letting on,
899
00:52:14,667 --> 00:52:17,749
but I was lonesome all
times, and born lonesome,
900
00:52:17,750 --> 00:52:20,541
I'm thinking, as the moon of dawn.
901
00:52:20,542 --> 00:52:23,291
- Well, it's a story I'm
not understanding at all
902
00:52:23,292 --> 00:52:25,792
why you'd be worse than
another, Christy Mahon,
903
00:52:26,625 --> 00:52:31,625
and you with the great
savagery to destroy your da.
904
00:52:32,167 --> 00:52:34,582
- It's little I'm understanding myself,
905
00:52:34,583 --> 00:52:37,707
saving only that my
heart's scalded this day,
906
00:52:37,708 --> 00:52:41,207
and I going off stretching
out the earth between us,
907
00:52:41,208 --> 00:52:44,416
the way I won't be waking near
you another dawn of the year
908
00:52:44,417 --> 00:52:46,707
till the two of us do
meet to hope orjudgement
909
00:52:46,708 --> 00:52:47,875
with the saints of God,
910
00:52:50,917 --> 00:52:53,833
and now I'd best be going
with my wattle in my hand,
911
00:52:54,958 --> 00:52:56,542
for hanging is a poor thing,
912
00:52:57,458 --> 00:52:59,999
and it's little welcome only is left me
913
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,042
in this house today.
914
00:53:14,542 --> 00:53:15,542
- Christy!
915
00:53:18,708 --> 00:53:19,708
Come hereto me.
916
00:53:33,458 --> 00:53:37,375
Lay down that switch and
throw some sods on the fire.
917
00:53:38,917 --> 00:53:40,457
You're pot-boy in this place,
918
00:53:40,458 --> 00:53:42,667
and I'll not have you
mitch off from us now.
919
00:53:43,583 --> 00:53:45,667
- You were saying I'd be hanged if I stay.
920
00:53:48,417 --> 00:53:51,541
- I'm after going down and
reading the fearful crimes
921
00:53:51,542 --> 00:53:54,541
of Ireland for two weeks or three,
922
00:53:54,542 --> 00:53:57,958
and there wasn't a word of your murder.
923
00:53:58,917 --> 00:54:01,124
They've likely not found the body.
924
00:54:01,125 --> 00:54:03,042
You're safe so with ourselves.
925
00:54:06,792 --> 00:54:08,457
- It's making game of me you were
926
00:54:08,458 --> 00:54:12,124
and I can stay so, working by your side,
927
00:54:12,125 --> 00:54:14,457
and I not lonesome from this mortal day.
928
00:54:14,458 --> 00:54:15,957
- What's to hinder you staying,
929
00:54:15,958 --> 00:54:18,416
except the widow woman or the young girls
930
00:54:18,417 --> 00:54:19,667
would inveigle you off?
931
00:54:21,125 --> 00:54:23,541
- And I'll have your words
filling my ears from this day,
932
00:54:23,542 --> 00:54:27,207
and that look is come upon
you meeting my two eyes,
933
00:54:27,208 --> 00:54:30,249
and I watching you loafing
around in the warm sun,
934
00:54:30,250 --> 00:54:32,583
or rinsing your ankles
when the night is come.
935
00:54:33,417 --> 00:54:35,582
- I'm thinking you'll be a loyal young lad
936
00:54:35,583 --> 00:54:38,291
to have working around the place,
937
00:54:38,292 --> 00:54:39,125
and if you vexed me a while since
938
00:54:39,126 --> 00:54:41,541
with your leaguing with the girls,
939
00:54:41,542 --> 00:54:45,291
I wouldn't give a thraneen
for a lad hadn't a mighty
940
00:54:45,292 --> 00:54:47,625
spirit in him and a gamey heart.
941
00:54:53,750 --> 00:54:55,082
- I was passing below,
942
00:54:55,083 --> 00:54:56,332
and I seen your mountain y
sheep eating cabbages
943
00:54:56,333 --> 00:54:57,333
in Jimmy's field.
944
00:54:57,334 --> 00:54:58,374
Run up or they'll be bursting surely.
945
00:54:58,375 --> 00:54:59,375
- God mend them!
946
00:55:00,625 --> 00:55:03,374
- I'd best go to her aid
maybe for I'm handy with ewes.
947
00:55:03,375 --> 00:55:05,999
- She can do that much,
and there is Shaneen
948
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,083
has long speeches for to tell you now.
949
00:55:52,708 --> 00:55:54,208
- Do you see that, mister?
950
00:55:57,250 --> 00:55:58,749
- The half of a ticket
to the Western States!
951
00:55:58,750 --> 00:56:01,082
- I'll give it to you and my new hat,
952
00:56:01,083 --> 00:56:02,332
and my breeches with the double seat,
953
00:56:02,333 --> 00:56:05,207
and my new coat is woven
from the blackest shearings
954
00:56:05,208 --> 00:56:06,417
for three miles around,
955
00:56:07,917 --> 00:56:09,666
I'll give you the whole
of them, and my blessing,
956
00:56:09,667 --> 00:56:11,916
and the blessing of Father
Reilly itself, maybe,
957
00:56:11,917 --> 00:56:14,416
if you'll quit from this
and leave us in the peace
958
00:56:14,417 --> 00:56:16,999
we had till last night
at the fall of dark.
959
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,082
- And for what is it you're
wanting to get shut of me?
960
00:56:19,083 --> 00:56:24,083
- I'm a poor scholar with
middling faculties to coin a lie,
961
00:56:24,125 --> 00:56:26,291
so I'll tell you the truth, Christy Mahon.
962
00:56:26,292 --> 00:56:28,374
I'm wedding with Pegeen beyond,
963
00:56:28,375 --> 00:56:30,416
and I don't think well of
having a clever fearless
964
00:56:30,417 --> 00:56:32,957
man the like of you dwelling in her house.
965
00:56:32,958 --> 00:56:35,332
- And you'd be using
bribery for to banish me?
966
00:56:35,333 --> 00:56:37,666
- Let you not take it badly, mister honey,
967
00:56:37,667 --> 00:56:39,832
isn't beyond the best place for you.
968
00:56:39,833 --> 00:56:40,957
- It's true for him,
969
00:56:40,958 --> 00:56:42,541
and you'd best quit off
and not have that poor girl
970
00:56:42,542 --> 00:56:44,957
setting her mind on you,
971
00:56:44,958 --> 00:56:47,124
for there's Shaneen thinks
she wouldn't suit you
972
00:56:47,125 --> 00:56:49,082
though all is saying
that she'll wed you now.
973
00:56:49,083 --> 00:56:50,207
- She wouldn't suit you,
974
00:56:50,208 --> 00:56:52,041
and she with the devil's own temper
975
00:56:52,042 --> 00:56:55,624
the way you'd be strangling
one another in a score of days.
976
00:56:55,625 --> 00:56:57,249
- Fit them clothes on
you anyhow, young fellow,
977
00:56:57,250 --> 00:56:59,499
and he'd maybe loan them to
you for the sports below.
978
00:56:59,500 --> 00:57:01,124
Fit them on and you can give your answer
979
00:57:01,125 --> 00:57:02,499
when you have them tried.
980
00:57:02,500 --> 00:57:03,541
- I will then.
981
00:57:03,542 --> 00:57:07,250
I'd like herself to see
me in them tweeds and hat.
982
00:57:08,833 --> 00:57:11,207
- He'd like herself to see them.
983
00:57:11,208 --> 00:57:14,082
He'll not leave us, Widow Quin.
984
00:57:14,083 --> 00:57:17,082
He's a score of devils in him
the way it's well nigh certain
985
00:57:17,083 --> 00:57:18,957
he will wed Pegeen.
986
00:57:18,958 --> 00:57:20,874
- It's true all girls are fond of courage
987
00:57:20,875 --> 00:57:23,124
and do hate the likes of you.
988
00:57:23,125 --> 00:57:25,332
- Oh, Widow Quin, what'|| I be doing now?
989
00:57:25,333 --> 00:57:26,707
I'd inform again him,
990
00:57:26,708 --> 00:57:29,249
but he'd bust from prison
991
00:57:29,250 --> 00:57:31,291
and he'd be sure and
certain to destroy me.
992
00:57:31,292 --> 00:57:34,124
If I wasn't so God-fearing,
I'd near have courage to
993
00:57:34,125 --> 00:57:37,041
come behind him and
run a pike in his side.
994
00:57:37,042 --> 00:57:39,624
Oh, it's a hard case to be an orphan
995
00:57:39,625 --> 00:57:42,332
and not to have your
father that you're used to,
996
00:57:42,333 --> 00:57:44,541
and you'd easy kill and
make yourself a hero
997
00:57:44,542 --> 00:57:45,791
in the sight of all.
998
00:57:45,792 --> 00:57:47,624
Oh, Widow Quin,
999
00:57:47,625 --> 00:57:49,332
will you find me some contrivance
1000
00:57:49,333 --> 00:57:50,957
when I've promised you a ewe?
1001
00:57:50,958 --> 00:57:53,082
- A ewe's a small thing,
1002
00:57:53,083 --> 00:57:55,999
but what would you give
me if I did wed him
1003
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:57,957
and did save you so?
1004
00:57:57,958 --> 00:57:58,999
- You?
1005
00:57:59,000 --> 00:57:59,833
- Aye, me.
1006
00:57:59,834 --> 00:58:01,832
Would you give me the red cow you have
1007
00:58:01,833 --> 00:58:03,207
and the mountain y ram,
1008
00:58:03,208 --> 00:58:05,166
and the right of way across your rye path,
1009
00:58:05,167 --> 00:58:06,707
and a load of dung at Michaelmas,
1010
00:58:06,708 --> 00:58:08,707
and turbary upon the western hill?
1011
00:58:08,708 --> 00:58:10,374
- I would surely, and I'd give
you the wedding-ring I have,
1012
00:58:10,375 --> 00:58:13,207
and the loan of a new suit,
the way you'd have him decent
1013
00:58:13,208 --> 00:58:14,042
for the wedding-day.
1014
00:58:14,043 --> 00:58:15,541
I'd give you two kids for your dinner,
1015
00:58:15,542 --> 00:58:16,458
and a gallon of poteen,
1016
00:58:16,459 --> 00:58:19,166
and I'd call the piper on
the long car to your wedding
1017
00:58:19,167 --> 00:58:20,791
from Crossmolina or from Ballina.
1018
00:58:20,792 --> 00:58:23,125
- Let you whisht, for
he's coming now again.
1019
00:58:27,500 --> 00:58:30,832
If you seen yourself now,
1020
00:58:30,833 --> 00:58:34,207
I'm thinking you'd be too
proud to speak to at all,
1021
00:58:34,208 --> 00:58:37,874
and it'd be a pity surely to
have your like sailing from
1022
00:58:37,875 --> 00:58:39,166
Mayo to the Western World.
1023
00:58:39,167 --> 00:58:40,207
- I'm not going.
1024
00:58:40,208 --> 00:58:43,041
If this is a poor place itself,
1025
00:58:43,042 --> 00:58:45,624
I'll make myself contented
to be lodging here.
1026
00:58:45,625 --> 00:58:47,416
- Well, I'm going
measuring the race-course
1027
00:58:47,417 --> 00:58:49,624
while the tide is low, so
I'll leave you the garments
1028
00:58:49,625 --> 00:58:52,916
and my blessing for the sports today.
1029
00:58:52,917 --> 00:58:53,917
God bless you!
1030
00:58:57,667 --> 00:59:00,374
- Well, you're mighty
spruce, young fellow.
1031
00:59:00,375 --> 00:59:02,499
Sit down there while you're
quiet till you talk with me.
1032
00:59:02,500 --> 00:59:04,999
- I'm going abroad on the
hillside for to seek Pegeen.
1033
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:06,874
- You'll have time and
plenty for to seek Pegeen,
1034
00:59:06,875 --> 00:59:10,624
and you heard me saying
at the fall of night
1035
00:59:10,625 --> 00:59:13,332
the two of us should be great company.
1036
00:59:13,333 --> 00:59:14,999
- From this out I'll
have no want of company
1037
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,332
when all sorts is bringing
me their food and clothing
1038
00:59:17,333 --> 00:59:20,082
the way they'd set their
eyes upon a gallant orphan
1039
00:59:20,083 --> 00:59:22,833
cleft his father with one
blow to the breeches belt.
1040
00:59:25,292 --> 00:59:26,625
Saints of glory!
1041
00:59:30,333 --> 00:59:32,082
Holy angels from the throne of light!
1042
00:59:32,083 --> 00:59:33,499
- What ails you?
1043
00:59:33,500 --> 00:59:35,708
- It's the walking
spirit of my murdered da?
1044
00:59:36,625 --> 00:59:38,457
- Is it that tramper?
1045
00:59:38,458 --> 00:59:43,042
- Where'|| I hide my poor
soul from that ghost of hell?
1046
00:59:50,625 --> 00:59:52,166
- God save you, my poor man.
1047
00:59:52,167 --> 00:59:53,749
- Did you see a young lad passing this way
1048
00:59:53,750 --> 00:59:55,291
in the early morning or the fall of night?
1049
00:59:55,292 --> 00:59:58,249
- You're a queer kind to
walk in not saluting at all.
1050
00:59:58,250 --> 01:00:00,041
- Did you see the young lad?
1051
01:00:00,042 --> 01:00:01,082
What kind was he?
1052
01:00:01,083 --> 01:00:04,000
- An ugly young streeler
with a murderous gob on him,
1053
01:00:06,083 --> 01:00:06,917
I met a tramper seen him coming this way
1054
01:00:06,918 --> 01:00:08,207
at the fall of night.
1055
01:00:08,208 --> 01:00:10,166
- There's harvest hundreds
do be passing these days
1056
01:00:10,167 --> 01:00:11,957
for the Sligo boat.
1057
01:00:11,958 --> 01:00:14,124
For what is it you're
wanting him, my poor man?
1058
01:00:14,125 --> 01:00:16,249
- I want to destroy him
for breaking the head on me
1059
01:00:16,250 --> 01:00:18,041
with the clout of a loy.
1060
01:00:18,042 --> 01:00:19,792
It was he did that,
1061
01:00:24,042 --> 01:00:25,874
and amn't I a great wonder
1062
01:00:25,875 --> 01:00:27,957
to think I've traced him ten days
1063
01:00:27,958 --> 01:00:29,999
with that rent in my crown?
1064
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:31,832
- That was a great blow.
1065
01:00:31,833 --> 01:00:33,207
And who hit you?
1066
01:00:33,208 --> 01:00:34,541
A robber maybe?
1067
01:00:34,542 --> 01:00:36,957
- It was my own son hit me,
and he the devil a robber,
1068
01:00:36,958 --> 01:00:39,707
or anything else, but a
dirty, stuttering lout.
1069
01:00:39,708 --> 01:00:42,582
- You'd best be wary of a mortified scalp,
1070
01:00:42,583 --> 01:00:43,542
I think they call it,
1071
01:00:43,543 --> 01:00:46,749
lepping around with that wound
in the splendour of the sun.
1072
01:00:46,750 --> 01:00:49,499
It was a bad blow surely,
1073
01:00:49,500 --> 01:00:51,416
and you should have vexed him fearful
1074
01:00:51,417 --> 01:00:54,124
to make him strike that gash in his da.
1075
01:00:54,125 --> 01:00:56,541
And isn't it a great shame when the old
1076
01:00:56,542 --> 01:00:59,166
and hardened do torment the young?
1077
01:00:59,167 --> 01:01:00,874
- Torment him is it?
1078
01:01:00,875 --> 01:01:03,249
Amn't I after saying it is
himself has me destroyed,
1079
01:01:03,250 --> 01:01:06,874
and he a liar on walls, a talker of folly,
1080
01:01:06,875 --> 01:01:09,291
a man you'd see stretched
the half of the day
1081
01:01:09,292 --> 01:01:11,999
in the brown ferns with
his belly to the sun.
1082
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:13,749
- Not working at all?
1083
01:01:13,750 --> 01:01:15,457
- The devil a work, or if he did itself,
1084
01:01:15,458 --> 01:01:18,874
you'd see him raising up a haystack
1085
01:01:18,875 --> 01:01:20,957
like the stalk of a rush,
1086
01:01:20,958 --> 01:01:24,541
or driving our last cow till
he broke her leg at the hip,
1087
01:01:24,542 --> 01:01:26,874
and when he wasn't at
that he'd be fooling over
1088
01:01:26,875 --> 01:01:31,499
little birds he had, finches and felts,
1089
01:01:31,500 --> 01:01:34,749
or making mugs at his
own self in the bit of
1090
01:01:34,750 --> 01:01:36,582
glass we had hung on the wall.
1091
01:01:36,583 --> 01:01:38,457
- In what way was he so foolish?
1092
01:01:38,458 --> 01:01:41,499
It was running wild
after the girls may be?
1093
01:01:41,500 --> 01:01:43,416
- Running wild, is it?
1094
01:01:43,417 --> 01:01:45,457
If he seen a red petticoat
coming swinging over the hill,
1095
01:01:45,458 --> 01:01:47,749
he'd be off to hide in the sticks,
1096
01:01:47,750 --> 01:01:50,832
and you'd see him shooting
out his sheep's eyes
1097
01:01:50,833 --> 01:01:53,832
between the little twigs and the leaves,
1098
01:01:53,833 --> 01:01:56,874
and his two ears rising like a hare
1099
01:01:56,875 --> 01:01:59,249
looking out through a gap.
1100
01:01:59,250 --> 01:02:01,332
Girls, indeed!
1101
01:02:03,333 --> 01:02:06,541
- I'd give the world and
all to see the like of him.
1102
01:02:06,542 --> 01:02:08,166
What kind was he?
1103
01:02:08,167 --> 01:02:11,916
- An ugly old baggart, dark and dirty.
1104
01:02:11,917 --> 01:02:14,082
- I'm thinking I seen him.
1105
01:02:14,083 --> 01:02:18,207
- A hideous, fearful
villain, and the spit of you.
1106
01:02:18,208 --> 01:02:19,667
- What way is he fled?
1107
01:02:20,833 --> 01:02:22,707
- Gone over the hills to
catch a coasting steamer
1108
01:02:22,708 --> 01:02:24,166
to the north or south.
1109
01:02:24,167 --> 01:02:25,000
- Could I pull up on him now?
1110
01:02:25,001 --> 01:02:27,457
- If you'll cross the sands
below where the tide is out,
1111
01:02:27,458 --> 01:02:29,624
you'll be in it as soon as himself.
1112
01:02:29,625 --> 01:02:31,332
Strike down by the head beyond
1113
01:02:31,333 --> 01:02:33,958
and then follow on the
roadway to the north and east.
1114
01:03:00,126 --> 01:03:04,082
Well, you're the walking
Playboy of the Western World,
1115
01:03:04,083 --> 01:03:06,291
and that's the poor man you had divided
1116
01:03:06,292 --> 01:03:07,583
to his breeches belt.
1117
01:03:10,542 --> 01:03:12,917
- What'|| Pegeen say when
she hears that story?
1118
01:03:14,333 --> 01:03:15,416
What'|| she be saying to me now?
1119
01:03:15,417 --> 01:03:17,416
- She'll knock the head
of you, I'm thinking,
1120
01:03:17,417 --> 01:03:19,332
and drive you from the door.
1121
01:03:19,333 --> 01:03:21,957
God help her to be
taking you for a wonder,
1122
01:03:21,958 --> 01:03:25,874
and you a little schemer
making up the story
1123
01:03:25,875 --> 01:03:27,083
you destroyed your da.
1124
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:41,957
- To be letting on he was dead,
and coming back to his life,
1125
01:03:41,958 --> 01:03:46,666
and following me here like
an old weasel tracing a rat,
1126
01:03:46,667 --> 01:03:50,374
and coming in here laying
desolation between my own self
1127
01:03:50,375 --> 01:03:52,957
and the fine women of Ireland,
1128
01:03:52,958 --> 01:03:56,499
and he a kind of carcass that
you'd fling upon the sea!
1129
01:03:56,500 --> 01:03:58,875
- There's talking for
a man's one only son.
1130
01:04:00,375 --> 01:04:02,083
- His one son, is it?
1131
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,624
May I meet him with one
tooth and it aching,
1132
01:04:06,625 --> 01:04:10,791
and one eye to be seeing
seven and seventy devils
1133
01:04:10,792 --> 01:04:14,832
in the twists of the road,
and one old timber leg
1134
01:04:14,833 --> 01:04:18,125
on him to limp into the scalding grave.
1135
01:04:19,042 --> 01:04:21,792
There he goes now crossing the strands,
1136
01:04:23,208 --> 01:04:27,457
and that the Lord God
would send a high wave
1137
01:04:27,458 --> 01:04:29,917
to wash him from the world.
1138
01:04:30,792 --> 01:04:31,792
- Have you no shame?
1139
01:04:32,625 --> 01:04:33,625
What ails you?
1140
01:04:34,750 --> 01:04:36,999
Near crying, is it?
1141
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:38,916
- Amn't I after seeing
the love-light of the star
1142
01:04:38,917 --> 01:04:41,249
of knowledge shining from her brow,
1143
01:04:41,250 --> 01:04:44,582
and hearing words would put
you thinking on the holy Brigid
1144
01:04:44,583 --> 01:04:48,541
speaking to the infant
saints, and now she'll be
1145
01:04:48,542 --> 01:04:52,833
turning again, and
saying hard words to me.
1146
01:04:53,833 --> 01:04:55,541
- There's poetry talk for a girl
1147
01:04:55,542 --> 01:04:58,332
you'd see itching and scratching,
1148
01:04:58,333 --> 01:05:00,666
and she with a stale stink of poteen
1149
01:05:00,667 --> 01:05:02,208
on her from selling in the shop.
1150
01:05:04,125 --> 01:05:06,416
- It's her like is fitted
to be handling merchandise
1151
01:05:06,417 --> 01:05:10,082
in the heavens above, and
what'|| I be doing now,
1152
01:05:10,083 --> 01:05:14,207
I ask you, and I a kind of
wonder jilted by the heavens
1153
01:05:14,208 --> 01:05:16,124
when a day was by.
1154
01:05:16,125 --> 01:05:18,041
- You'll be doing like
myself, I'm thinking,
1155
01:05:18,042 --> 01:05:22,749
when I did destroy my man,
for I'm above many's the day,
1156
01:05:22,750 --> 01:05:27,541
odd times in great spirits,
abroad in the sunshine,
1157
01:05:27,542 --> 01:05:30,624
darning a stocking or darning a shift,
1158
01:05:30,625 --> 01:05:35,625
and odd times again looking
out on the schooners, hookers,
1159
01:05:36,833 --> 01:05:39,707
trawlers is sailing the sea,
1160
01:05:39,708 --> 01:05:42,166
and I thinking on the
gallant hairy fellows
1161
01:05:42,167 --> 01:05:43,375
are drifting beyond,
1162
01:05:44,500 --> 01:05:47,167
and myself long years living alone.
1163
01:05:50,208 --> 01:05:51,999
- You're like me, so.
1164
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:53,250
- I am your like,
1165
01:05:54,083 --> 01:05:56,292
and it's for that I'm
taking a fancy to you,
1166
01:05:57,292 --> 01:05:58,999
and I with my little houseen above
1167
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:00,916
where there'd be myself to tend you,
1168
01:06:00,917 --> 01:06:03,667
and none to ask were you
a murderer or what at all.
1169
01:06:04,542 --> 01:06:06,249
- And what would I be
doing if I left Pegeen?
1170
01:06:06,250 --> 01:06:08,791
- I've nice jobs you could be doing,
1171
01:06:08,792 --> 01:06:12,332
gathering shells to make a
whitewash for our hut within,
1172
01:06:12,333 --> 01:06:14,417
building up a little goose-house maybe,
1173
01:06:15,375 --> 01:06:17,207
stretching a new skin on
an old curragh I have,
1174
01:06:17,208 --> 01:06:21,332
and if my hut is far from all sides,
1175
01:06:21,333 --> 01:06:24,416
it's there you'll meet the
wisest old men, I tell you,
1176
01:06:24,417 --> 01:06:26,624
at the corner of my wheel,
1177
01:06:26,625 --> 01:06:30,624
and it's there yourself and
me will have great times
1178
01:06:30,625 --> 01:06:33,624
whispering and hugging...
1179
01:06:33,625 --> 01:06:35,749
— Christy!
1180
01:06:35,750 --> 01:06:36,583
- Is it Pegeen Mike?
1181
01:06:36,584 --> 01:06:38,041
- It's the young girls, I'm thinking,
1182
01:06:38,042 --> 01:06:40,374
coming to bring you to the sports below,
1183
01:06:40,375 --> 01:06:42,999
and what is it you'll
have me to tell them now?
1184
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:44,874
- Aid me for to win Pegeen.
1185
01:06:44,875 --> 01:06:47,166
It's herself only that I'm seeking now.
1186
01:06:47,167 --> 01:06:48,541
Aid me for to win her,
1187
01:06:48,542 --> 01:06:50,624
and I'll be asking God
to stretch a hand out
1188
01:06:50,625 --> 01:06:53,041
in the hour of death,
and lead you short cuts
1189
01:06:53,042 --> 01:06:54,249
through the Meadows of Ease,
1190
01:06:54,250 --> 01:06:56,124
and up the floor of
Heaven to the Footstool
1191
01:06:56,125 --> 01:06:57,332
of the Virgin's Son.
1192
01:06:57,333 --> 01:06:58,458
- There's praying.
1193
01:06:59,417 --> 01:07:00,250
- Christy!
1194
01:07:00,251 --> 01:07:01,499
- Christy Mahon!
- They're coming.
1195
01:07:01,500 --> 01:07:04,208
Will you swear to aid and save
me for the love of Christ?
1196
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:09,624
- If I aid you, will
you swear to give me a
1197
01:07:09,625 --> 01:07:11,582
and a mountain y ram, and
a right of way you have,
1198
01:07:11,583 --> 01:07:13,416
and a load of dung at Michaelmas,
1199
01:07:13,417 --> 01:07:15,374
the time that you'll be master here?
1200
01:07:15,375 --> 01:07:18,082
- I will, by the elements
and stars of night.
1201
01:07:18,083 --> 01:07:20,249
- Then we'll not say a
word of the old fellow,
1202
01:07:20,250 --> 01:07:23,916
the way Pegeen won't know your
story till the end of time.
1203
01:07:23,917 --> 01:07:26,666
- And if he should chance to return again?
1204
01:07:26,667 --> 01:07:29,457
- We'll swear he's a
maniac and not your da.
1205
01:07:29,458 --> 01:07:32,750
I could take an oath I seen
him raving on the sands today.
1206
01:07:42,417 --> 01:07:43,582
- Come on, come on to the sports below.
1207
01:07:43,583 --> 01:07:44,832
Pegeen says you're to come.
1208
01:07:44,833 --> 01:07:46,999
- The |epping's beginning,
and we've a jockey's suit
1209
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,582
to fit upon you for the mule
race on the sands below.
1210
01:07:49,583 --> 01:07:51,207
- Come on, will you?
1211
01:07:51,208 --> 01:07:54,166
- I will then if Pegeen's beyond.
1212
01:07:54,167 --> 01:07:56,958
- She's down in the boreen
making game of Shaneen Keogh.
1213
01:07:57,833 --> 01:08:00,500
- Then I'll be going to her now.
1214
01:08:13,458 --> 01:08:17,374
- Well, if the worst comes to
the worst in the end of all,
1215
01:08:17,375 --> 01:08:20,249
it'll be great game to see
there's none to pity him
1216
01:08:20,250 --> 01:08:22,666
but a widow woman, the like of me,
1217
01:08:22,667 --> 01:08:26,083
who's buried her children
and destroyed her man.
1218
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:37,457
- Here's his prizes!
1219
01:11:37,458 --> 01:11:42,249
A bagpipe!
1220
01:11:42,250 --> 01:11:46,042
- A fiddle by a poet played
in the years gone by!
1221
01:11:50,583 --> 01:11:51,500
- A flat and three-themed
blackthorn would lick
1222
01:11:51,501 --> 01:11:53,375
the scholars out of Dublin town!
1223
01:12:02,208 --> 01:12:04,207
- Thank you kindly, the lot of you.
1224
01:12:04,208 --> 01:12:06,124
But you'd say it was
little only I did this day
1225
01:12:06,125 --> 01:12:09,458
if you'd seen me a while since
striking my one single blow.
1226
01:14:29,958 --> 01:14:32,291
- Well, you're the lad,
1227
01:14:32,292 --> 01:14:35,916
and you'll have great times
from this out, I'm thinking,
1228
01:14:35,917 --> 01:14:38,916
when you could win that wealth of prizes,
1229
01:14:38,917 --> 01:14:41,292
and you sweating in the heat of noon!
1230
01:14:44,792 --> 01:14:46,874
- I'll have great times if
I win the crowning prize
1231
01:14:46,875 --> 01:14:50,457
I'm seeking now, and that's
your promise that you'll wed me
1232
01:14:50,458 --> 01:14:52,792
in a fortnight, when our banns is called.
1233
01:14:54,042 --> 01:14:57,042
- You've right daring to go ask me that,
1234
01:14:57,917 --> 01:14:59,916
when all knows you'll
be starting to some girl
1235
01:14:59,917 --> 01:15:00,958
in your own townland,
1236
01:15:02,250 --> 01:15:04,541
when your father's rotten
in four months, or five.
1237
01:15:04,542 --> 01:15:06,624
- Starting from you, is it?
1238
01:15:06,625 --> 01:15:09,332
I will not, then, and when the airs
1239
01:15:09,333 --> 01:15:11,250
is warming in four months, or five,
1240
01:15:12,542 --> 01:15:14,874
it's then yourself and me
should be pacing Neifin
1241
01:15:14,875 --> 01:15:16,624
in the dews of night,
1242
01:15:16,625 --> 01:15:19,582
the times sweet smells do be rising,
1243
01:15:19,583 --> 01:15:23,624
and you'd see a little
shiny new moon, maybe,
1244
01:15:23,625 --> 01:15:24,667
sinking on the hills.
1245
01:15:26,292 --> 01:15:30,041
- And it's that kind of a
poacher's love you'd make,
1246
01:15:30,042 --> 01:15:32,249
Christy Mahon, on the sides of Neifin,
1247
01:15:32,250 --> 01:15:33,458
when the night is down?
1248
01:15:34,542 --> 01:15:37,124
- It's little you'll think
if my love's a poacher's,
1249
01:15:37,125 --> 01:15:38,999
or an earl's itself,
1250
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:43,082
when you'll feel my two
hands stretched around you,
1251
01:15:43,083 --> 01:15:46,124
and I squeezing kisses
on your puckered lips,
1252
01:15:46,125 --> 01:15:48,957
till I'd feel a kind of
pity for the Lord God is
1253
01:15:48,958 --> 01:15:52,125
all ages sitting lonesome
in his golden chair.
1254
01:15:53,708 --> 01:15:56,249
- That'|| be right fun, Christy Mahon,
1255
01:15:56,250 --> 01:15:59,291
and any girl would walk her heart out
1256
01:15:59,292 --> 01:16:02,832
before she'd meet a young man
was your like for eloquence,
1257
01:16:02,833 --> 01:16:03,999
or for talk, at all.
1258
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:05,666
- Let you wait, to hear me talking
1259
01:16:05,667 --> 01:16:08,207
till we're astray in Erris,
1260
01:16:08,208 --> 01:16:09,417
when Good Friday's by,
1261
01:16:10,292 --> 01:16:11,874
drinking a sup from a well,
1262
01:16:11,875 --> 01:16:14,916
and making mighty kisses
with our wetted mouths,
1263
01:16:14,917 --> 01:16:18,041
or gaming in a gap or sunshine,
1264
01:16:18,042 --> 01:16:21,207
with yourself stretched
back unto your necklace,
1265
01:16:21,208 --> 01:16:22,625
in the flowers of the earth.
1266
01:16:25,292 --> 01:16:27,708
- I'd be nice so, is it?
1267
01:16:29,083 --> 01:16:32,624
- If the mitred bishops
seen you that time,
1268
01:16:32,625 --> 01:16:35,416
they'd be the like of the
holy prophets, I'm thinking,
1269
01:16:35,417 --> 01:16:37,499
do be straining the bars of Paradise
1270
01:16:37,500 --> 01:16:40,582
to lay eyes on the Lady Helen of Troy,
1271
01:16:40,583 --> 01:16:43,707
and she pacing back and forward
1272
01:16:43,708 --> 01:16:46,000
with a nosegay in her golden shawl.
1273
01:16:48,375 --> 01:16:50,958
- What is it I have, Christy Mahon,
1274
01:16:52,042 --> 01:16:55,125
to make me fitting entertainment
for the like of you,
1275
01:16:56,583 --> 01:17:00,917
such a poet's talking,
and such bravery of heart?
1276
01:17:02,208 --> 01:17:04,416
- Isn't there the light of seven heavens
1277
01:17:04,417 --> 01:17:05,708
in your heart alone,
1278
01:17:06,708 --> 01:17:09,542
the way you'll be an angel's
lamp to me from this out,
1279
01:17:10,792 --> 01:17:14,749
and I abroad in the darkness,
spearing salmons in the Owen,
1280
01:17:14,750 --> 01:17:16,375
or the Carrowmore?
1281
01:17:17,458 --> 01:17:22,458
- If I was your wife, I'd be
along with you those times,
1282
01:17:25,250 --> 01:17:28,458
the way you'd see I was a
great hand at coaxing bailiffs,
1283
01:17:31,500 --> 01:17:35,416
or coining funny nick-names
for the stars of night.
1284
01:17:35,417 --> 01:17:36,417
- You, is it?
1285
01:17:37,375 --> 01:17:40,041
Taking your death in the hailstones,
1286
01:17:40,042 --> 01:17:41,500
or in the fogs of dawn.
1287
01:17:43,208 --> 01:17:46,000
- Yourself and me would
shelter easy in a narrow bush,
1288
01:17:51,208 --> 01:17:52,833
but we're only talking, maybe,
1289
01:17:54,375 --> 01:17:56,499
for this would be a poor, thatched place
1290
01:17:56,500 --> 01:17:58,708
to be holding a fine
lad is the like of you.
1291
01:18:00,250 --> 01:18:01,916
- If I wasn't a good Christian,
1292
01:18:01,917 --> 01:18:04,999
it's on my naked knees
I'd be saying my prayers
1293
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:07,874
and paters to every jackstraw
you have roofing your head,
1294
01:18:07,875 --> 01:18:10,041
and every stony pebble is
paving the laneway to your door.
1295
01:18:10,042 --> 01:18:15,042
- If that's the truth, I'll
be burning candles from this
1296
01:18:15,792 --> 01:18:19,124
out to the miracles of
God that have brought you
1297
01:18:19,125 --> 01:18:23,707
from the south today, and I,
with my gowns bought ready,
1298
01:18:23,708 --> 01:18:27,207
the way that I can wed
you, and not wait at all.
1299
01:18:27,208 --> 01:18:30,249
- It's miracles, and that's the truth.
1300
01:18:30,250 --> 01:18:34,249
Me there toiling a long while,
and walking a long while,
1301
01:18:34,250 --> 01:18:36,666
not knowing at all I was
drawing all times nearer
1302
01:18:36,667 --> 01:18:38,541
to this holy day.
1303
01:18:38,542 --> 01:18:43,542
- And I, a girl, was tempted
often to go sailing the seas
1304
01:18:44,125 --> 01:18:47,667
till I'd marry a Jew-man,
with ten kegs of gold,
1305
01:18:51,083 --> 01:18:54,499
and I not knowing at
all there was your like
1306
01:18:54,500 --> 01:18:57,667
drawing nearer, like the stars of God.
1307
01:19:03,042 --> 01:19:04,541
- And to think I'm long
years hearing women
1308
01:19:04,542 --> 01:19:07,208
talking that talk, to all bloody fools,
1309
01:19:09,125 --> 01:19:11,624
and this the first time I've
heard the like of your voice
1310
01:19:11,625 --> 01:19:14,624
talking sweetly for my own delight.
1311
01:19:14,625 --> 01:19:17,999
- And to think it's me is
talking sweetly, Christy Mahon,
1312
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:22,167
and I the fright of seven
townlands for my biting tongue.
1313
01:19:36,708 --> 01:19:38,958
Well, the heart's a wonder,
1314
01:19:42,042 --> 01:19:46,292
and, I'm thinking, there
won't be our like in Mayo,
1315
01:19:47,250 --> 01:19:50,750
for gallant lovers, from this hour, today.
1316
01:19:57,583 --> 01:20:00,624
There's my father back from the wake,
1317
01:20:00,625 --> 01:20:03,332
we'll tell him when he's had his sleep
1318
01:20:03,333 --> 01:20:05,250
for he's peaceful then.
1319
01:20:53,208 --> 01:20:56,624
- The blessing of God and
the holy angels on your head,
1320
01:20:56,625 --> 01:20:57,625
young fellow.
1321
01:20:57,626 --> 01:21:00,291
I hear tell you're after
winning all in the sports below,
1322
01:21:00,292 --> 01:21:02,916
isn't it a shame I didn't
bear you along with me
1323
01:21:02,917 --> 01:21:06,374
to Kate Cassidy's wake, a fine, stout lad,
1324
01:21:06,375 --> 01:21:07,208
as the like of you,
1325
01:21:07,209 --> 01:21:11,041
for you'd never see the match
of it for flows of drink.
1326
01:21:11,042 --> 01:21:12,124
- Is that the truth?
1327
01:21:12,125 --> 01:21:12,958
- It is.
1328
01:21:12,959 --> 01:21:16,249
And aren't you a lout y schemer
to go burying your poor
1329
01:21:16,250 --> 01:21:19,207
father unbeknownst when
you'd a right to throw him
1330
01:21:19,208 --> 01:21:22,582
on the crupper of a Kerry
mule and bear him westwards,
1331
01:21:22,583 --> 01:21:26,124
like holy Joseph in the days gone by,
1332
01:21:26,125 --> 01:21:28,291
the way we could have
given him a decent burial,
1333
01:21:28,292 --> 01:21:31,457
and not have him rotting beyond,
1334
01:21:31,458 --> 01:21:34,499
and not a Christian drinking a smart drop
1335
01:21:34,500 --> 01:21:37,082
to the glory of his soul?
1336
01:21:37,083 --> 01:21:38,666
- It's well enough he's
lying, for the likes of him.
1337
01:21:38,667 --> 01:21:42,249
- Well, aren't you a hardened slayer?
1338
01:21:42,250 --> 01:21:44,041
It'll be a poor thing
for the household man
1339
01:21:44,042 --> 01:21:47,291
where you go sniffing for a female wife,
1340
01:21:47,292 --> 01:21:50,582
and look beyond at that
shy and decent Christian
1341
01:21:50,583 --> 01:21:53,082
I have chosen for my daughter's hand,
1342
01:21:53,083 --> 01:21:55,374
and I after getting the gilded
1343
01:21:55,375 --> 01:21:58,000
dispensation this day for to wed them now.
1344
01:21:59,125 --> 01:22:00,666
- And you'll be wedding
them this day, is it?
1345
01:22:00,667 --> 01:22:01,667
- Aye.
1346
01:22:01,668 --> 01:22:02,832
Are you thinking, if I'm drunk itself,
1347
01:22:02,833 --> 01:22:04,832
I'd leave my daughter living single
1348
01:22:04,833 --> 01:22:07,916
with a little frisky
rascal is the like of you?
1349
01:22:07,917 --> 01:22:10,166
- Is it the truth the dispensation's come?
1350
01:22:10,167 --> 01:22:12,874
- Father Reilly's after
reading it in gallous Latin,
1351
01:22:12,875 --> 01:22:15,249
and "It's come in the
nick of time," says he,
1352
01:22:15,250 --> 01:22:17,041
"so I'll wed them in a hurry,"
1353
01:22:17,042 --> 01:22:20,291
"dreading that young gaffer
who'd capsize the stars."
1354
01:22:20,292 --> 01:22:24,166
- He's missed his nick of
time, for it's that lad,
1355
01:22:24,167 --> 01:22:27,124
Christy Mahon, that I'm wedding now.
1356
01:22:27,125 --> 01:22:28,832
- You'd be making him a son to me,
1357
01:22:28,833 --> 01:22:31,582
and he wet and crusted
with his father's blood?
1358
01:22:31,583 --> 01:22:32,957
- Aye.
1359
01:22:32,958 --> 01:22:34,749
Wouldn't it be a bitter
thing to go marrying the
1360
01:22:34,750 --> 01:22:35,957
like of Shaneen Keogh,
1361
01:22:35,958 --> 01:22:38,082
and he a middling kind of a scarecrow,
1362
01:22:38,083 --> 01:22:41,833
with no savagery or fine
words in him at all?
1363
01:22:43,417 --> 01:22:45,082
- Oh, aren't you a heathen daughter
1364
01:22:45,083 --> 01:22:47,166
to go shaking the fat of my heart,
1365
01:22:47,167 --> 01:22:50,666
and I swamped and drownded
with the weight of drink?
1366
01:22:50,667 --> 01:22:52,666
Have you no words to aid me, Shaneen?
1367
01:22:52,667 --> 01:22:55,041
Are you not jealous at all?
1368
01:22:55,042 --> 01:22:58,791
- I'd be afeard to be jealous
of a man did slay his da.
1369
01:22:58,792 --> 01:23:02,957
- Well, it'd be a poor thing
to go marrying your like.
1370
01:23:02,958 --> 01:23:05,499
I'm after seeing there's a world of peril
1371
01:23:05,500 --> 01:23:06,999
for an orphan girl,
1372
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,582
and isn't it a great
blessing I didn't wed you,
1373
01:23:09,583 --> 01:23:12,624
before himself came walking
from the the west or the south?
1374
01:23:12,625 --> 01:23:15,666
- It's a queer story you'd
go picking a dirty tramp up
1375
01:23:15,667 --> 01:23:17,749
from the highways of the world.
1376
01:23:17,750 --> 01:23:21,832
- And you think you're a
likely beau to go straying
1377
01:23:21,833 --> 01:23:25,832
along with, the shiny
Sundays of the opening year,
1378
01:23:25,833 --> 01:23:28,791
when it's sooner on a bullock's
liver you'd put a poor girl
1379
01:23:28,792 --> 01:23:31,166
thinking than on the lily or the rose?
1380
01:23:31,167 --> 01:23:33,666
- And have you no mind
of my weight of passion,
1381
01:23:33,667 --> 01:23:35,457
and of the holy dispensation,
1382
01:23:35,458 --> 01:23:39,291
and the drift of heifers I am
giving, and the golden ring?
1383
01:23:39,292 --> 01:23:41,624
- I'm thinking you're too
fine for the likes of me,
1384
01:23:41,625 --> 01:23:43,374
Shawn Keogh of Killakeen,
1385
01:23:43,375 --> 01:23:47,124
and let you go off till
you'd find a radiant lady
1386
01:23:47,125 --> 01:23:50,457
with droves of bullocks
on the plains of Meath,
1387
01:23:50,458 --> 01:23:54,124
and herself bedizened in
the diamond jeweleries
1388
01:23:54,125 --> 01:23:55,666
of Pharaoh's ma.
1389
01:23:55,667 --> 01:23:58,082
That'd be more your like, Shawn Keogh.
1390
01:23:58,083 --> 01:23:58,917
So God save you now!
1391
01:23:58,918 --> 01:24:00,416
- Won't you hear me telling you?
1392
01:24:00,417 --> 01:24:01,916
- Best be off, young fellow, or I'll
1393
01:24:01,917 --> 01:24:04,041
maybe add a murder to my deeds today.
1394
01:24:04,042 --> 01:24:05,124
- Murder is it?
1395
01:24:05,125 --> 01:24:07,416
Would you make a murder in this place,
1396
01:24:07,417 --> 01:24:10,291
and it piled with poteen
for our drink to-night?
1397
01:24:10,292 --> 01:24:12,457
Go on to the foreshore if
it's fighting you want,
1398
01:24:12,458 --> 01:24:14,207
where the rising tide will wash
1399
01:24:14,208 --> 01:24:16,041
all traces from the memory of man.
1400
01:24:16,042 --> 01:24:18,582
- I'll not fight him, Michael James.
1401
01:24:18,583 --> 01:24:19,916
I'd liefer live a bachelor,
1402
01:24:19,917 --> 01:24:22,249
simmering in passions to the end of time,
1403
01:24:22,250 --> 01:24:24,124
than face a lepping savage the like of him
1404
01:24:24,125 --> 01:24:25,582
has descended from the Lord knows where.
1405
01:24:25,583 --> 01:24:28,957
Fight him yourself, Michael
James, or you'll lose my drift
1406
01:24:28,958 --> 01:24:31,666
of heifers and my blue bull from Sneem.
1407
01:24:31,667 --> 01:24:32,957
- Is it me fight to him,
1408
01:24:32,958 --> 01:24:35,416
when it's father-slaying he's bred to now?
1409
01:24:35,417 --> 01:24:37,249
Go on you fool and fight him now.
1410
01:24:37,250 --> 01:24:38,916
- Will I strike him with my hand?
1411
01:24:38,917 --> 01:24:42,957
- Use the loy is on your western side.
1412
01:24:42,958 --> 01:24:45,038
- I'd be afeard of the
gallows if I struck with that.
1413
01:24:45,625 --> 01:24:47,985
- Then I'll make you face the
gallows or quit off from this.
1414
01:24:54,292 --> 01:24:56,333
- May fine weather be after him,
1415
01:25:05,500 --> 01:25:06,957
and I'm thinking you wouldn't
want that quaking blackguard
1416
01:25:06,958 --> 01:25:08,957
in your house at all.
1417
01:25:08,958 --> 01:25:09,999
Let you give us your blessing
1418
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:12,791
and hear her swear her faith to me,
1419
01:25:12,792 --> 01:25:15,499
for I'm mounted on the
spring-tide of the stars of luck,
1420
01:25:15,500 --> 01:25:17,624
the way it'll be good for
any to have me in the house.
1421
01:25:17,625 --> 01:25:22,207
- Bless us now, for I swear I'll wed him,
1422
01:25:22,208 --> 01:25:23,208
and I'll not renege.
1423
01:25:33,708 --> 01:25:36,291
- It's the will of God, I'm thinking,
1424
01:25:36,292 --> 01:25:39,792
that all should win an
easy or a cruel end,
1425
01:25:41,083 --> 01:25:43,624
and it's the will of God
that all should raise up
1426
01:25:43,625 --> 01:25:46,458
lengthy families for the
nurture of the earth.
1427
01:25:48,083 --> 01:25:50,374
What's a single man, I ask you,
1428
01:25:50,375 --> 01:25:54,499
eating a bit in one house and
drinking a sup in another,
1429
01:25:54,500 --> 01:25:56,957
and him with no place of his own,
1430
01:25:56,958 --> 01:26:00,708
like an old braying jackass
strayed upon the rocks?
1431
01:26:03,167 --> 01:26:04,832
It's many would be in dread
1432
01:26:04,833 --> 01:26:08,416
to bring your like into their
house to end them, maybe,
1433
01:26:08,417 --> 01:26:09,792
with a sudden end,
1434
01:26:10,750 --> 01:26:13,791
but I'm a decent man of Ireland,
1435
01:26:13,792 --> 01:26:17,999
and I'd liefer face the grave untimely
1436
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:20,791
and I seeing a score of grandsons,
1437
01:26:20,792 --> 01:26:25,332
little gallant swearers
by the name of God,
1438
01:26:25,333 --> 01:26:28,291
than to go peopling my
bedside with puny weeds
1439
01:26:28,292 --> 01:26:30,582
the like of what you'd
breed, I'm thinking,
1440
01:26:30,583 --> 01:26:33,041
out oi Shane-en Keogh.
1441
01:26:33,042 --> 01:26:36,874
A daring fellow is the jewel of the world,
1442
01:26:36,875 --> 01:26:39,582
and a man did split his father's middle
1443
01:26:39,583 --> 01:26:41,499
with one single clout
1444
01:26:41,500 --> 01:26:43,042
should have the bravery often,
1445
01:26:44,458 --> 01:26:48,999
so may God and Mary and
St. Patrick bless you,
1446
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:52,333
and increase you from this mortal day.
1447
01:26:55,583 --> 01:26:58,458
- Amen, O Lord!
1448
01:27:02,708 --> 01:27:04,582
- Stop that, will you, who are you at all?
1449
01:27:04,583 --> 01:27:07,042
- His father, God forgive me!
1450
01:27:12,750 --> 01:27:15,249
- Is it rose from the dead?
1451
01:27:15,250 --> 01:27:16,624
- Do you think I look so easily quenched
1452
01:27:16,625 --> 01:27:18,124
with the tap of a loy?
1453
01:27:29,625 --> 01:27:31,499
- And it's lies you told,
1454
01:27:31,500 --> 01:27:35,374
letting on you had him slitted,
and you nothing at all.
1455
01:27:35,375 --> 01:27:36,749
- He's not my father.
1456
01:27:36,750 --> 01:27:39,291
He's a raving maniac that
would scare the world.
1457
01:27:39,292 --> 01:27:41,291
Herself knows it is true.
1458
01:27:41,292 --> 01:27:43,166
- You're fooling Pegeen!
1459
01:27:43,167 --> 01:27:45,624
The Widow Quin seen him this
day, and you likely knew!
1460
01:27:45,625 --> 01:27:46,917
You're a liar!
1461
01:27:49,292 --> 01:27:53,332
- And to think of the coaxing
glory we had given him,
1462
01:27:53,333 --> 01:27:56,624
and he after doing nothing
but hitting a soft blow
1463
01:27:56,625 --> 01:27:59,708
and chasing northward in a sweat of fear.
1464
01:28:01,042 --> 01:28:02,458
Quit off from this.
1465
01:28:04,042 --> 01:28:05,707
- You've seen my doings this day,
1466
01:28:05,708 --> 01:28:07,832
and let you save me from the old man,
1467
01:28:07,833 --> 01:28:09,999
for why would you be in such a scorch
1468
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:12,625
of haste to spur me to destruction now?
1469
01:28:13,750 --> 01:28:16,500
- It's there your
treachery is spurring me,
1470
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:19,916
till I'm hard set to think
1471
01:28:19,917 --> 01:28:24,457
you're the one I'm after
lacing in my heart-strings
1472
01:28:24,458 --> 01:28:26,292
half-an-hour gone by.
1473
01:28:27,250 --> 01:28:28,874
Take him on from this,
1474
01:28:28,875 --> 01:28:31,957
for I think bad the world
should see me raging
1475
01:28:31,958 --> 01:28:36,207
for a Munster liar, and the fool of men.
1476
01:28:36,208 --> 01:28:38,874
- Rise up now to retribution,
and come on with me.
1477
01:28:38,875 --> 01:28:39,875
- There's the playboy!
1478
01:28:44,958 --> 01:28:46,291
- Will you come between
us and protect me now?
1479
01:28:46,292 --> 01:28:49,833
- I've done my best, God help
me, and my share is done.
1480
01:28:51,958 --> 01:28:54,124
- And I must go back
into my torment is it,
1481
01:28:54,125 --> 01:28:56,249
or run off like a
vagabond straying through
1482
01:28:56,250 --> 01:28:59,291
the Unions with the dusts
of August making mudstains
1483
01:28:59,292 --> 01:29:00,667
in the gullet of my throat.
1484
01:29:01,625 --> 01:29:03,957
- Ask Pegeen to aid you.
1485
01:29:03,958 --> 01:29:06,207
Her like does often change.
1486
01:29:06,208 --> 01:29:07,417
- I will not then,
1487
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:12,082
for there's torment in
the splendour of her kind,
1488
01:29:12,083 --> 01:29:13,749
and she a girl that nay moon of midnight
1489
01:29:13,750 --> 01:29:15,125
would take pride to meet.
1490
01:29:16,708 --> 01:29:18,416
But what did I want crawling forward
1491
01:29:18,417 --> 01:29:21,499
to scorch my understanding
at her flaming brow?
1492
01:29:21,500 --> 01:29:23,125
- Take him on from this
1493
01:29:24,083 --> 01:29:27,291
or I'll set the young
lads to destroy him here.
1494
01:29:27,292 --> 01:29:29,499
- Come on now with me if
you wouldn't want to have
1495
01:29:29,500 --> 01:29:32,582
the company to see you skewed.
1496
01:29:32,583 --> 01:29:35,666
- That's it, that's it, now
the world will see him pandied,
1497
01:29:35,667 --> 01:29:37,041
and he an ugly liar was
playing off the hero,
1498
01:29:37,042 --> 01:29:38,499
and the fright of men.
1499
01:29:38,500 --> 01:29:39,333
- Leave me go!
1500
01:29:39,333 --> 01:29:40,208
- That's it now, Christy.
1501
01:29:40,209 --> 01:29:41,249
- If them two set fighting,
it will lick the world.
1502
01:29:41,250 --> 01:29:42,332
- Leave me go, I'm saying.
1503
01:29:42,333 --> 01:29:43,167
- I will maybe, when your legs is limping,
1504
01:29:43,168 --> 01:29:45,000
and your back is blue.
1505
01:29:49,583 --> 01:29:51,291
- Shut your yelling,
1506
01:29:51,292 --> 01:29:53,457
for if you're after making
a mighty man of me this day
1507
01:29:53,458 --> 01:29:55,624
by the power of a lie,
1508
01:29:55,625 --> 01:29:58,041
you're setting me now to
think if it's a poor thing
1509
01:29:58,042 --> 01:29:59,458
to be lonesome,
1510
01:30:00,333 --> 01:30:04,333
it's worse maybe to go mixing
with the fools of earth.
1511
01:30:06,875 --> 01:30:09,957
Keep off lest I do show a
blow unto the lot of you
1512
01:30:09,958 --> 01:30:12,041
that'|| set the guardian angels
winking in the clouds above.
1513
01:30:12,042 --> 01:30:14,707
- He's going mad!
- Mind yourselves!
1514
01:30:14,708 --> 01:30:16,457
- Run from the idiot!
1515
01:30:16,458 --> 01:30:18,207
- If I am an idiot,
1516
01:30:18,208 --> 01:30:20,832
I'm after hearing myself
saying words this day
1517
01:30:20,833 --> 01:30:24,583
would raise the topknot on
a poet in a merchant's town.
1518
01:30:25,708 --> 01:30:30,207
I've won your racing, and your lepping...
1519
01:30:30,208 --> 01:30:31,999
- Shut your gullet and come out with me.
1520
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:35,791
- I'm going, but I'll stretch you first.
1521
01:30:54,333 --> 01:30:55,413
- The lad kills you surely.
1522
01:30:59,167 --> 01:31:01,917
I'm after hearing the last
gasps quicken his heart.
1523
01:32:03,583 --> 01:32:04,707
- They're turning again you.
1524
01:32:04,708 --> 01:32:06,582
Come on, or you'll be hanged, indeed.
1525
01:32:06,583 --> 01:32:08,791
- I'm thinking, from this out,
1526
01:32:08,792 --> 01:32:10,082
Pegeen'|| be giving me praises
1527
01:32:10,083 --> 01:32:12,541
the same as in the hours gone by.
1528
01:32:12,542 --> 01:32:13,832
- Come by the back-door.
1529
01:32:13,833 --> 01:32:16,707
I'd think bad to have you
stifled on the gallows tree.
1530
01:32:16,708 --> 01:32:17,749
- I will not, then.
1531
01:32:17,750 --> 01:32:20,374
What g0od'd be my
life-time, if I left Pegeen?
1532
01:32:20,375 --> 01:32:23,832
- Come on, and you'll be no
worse than you were last night,
1533
01:32:23,833 --> 01:32:25,332
and you with a double murder this time
1534
01:32:25,333 --> 01:32:26,167
to be telling to the girls.
1535
01:32:26,168 --> 01:32:27,749
- I'll not leave Pegeen Mike.
1536
01:32:27,750 --> 01:32:29,707
- Isn't there the match of
her in every parish public,
1537
01:32:29,708 --> 01:32:31,957
from Binghamstown unto the plain of Meath?
1538
01:32:31,958 --> 01:32:35,374
Come on, and I'll find
you finer sweethearts
1539
01:32:35,375 --> 01:32:36,874
at each waning moon.
1540
01:32:36,875 --> 01:32:38,417
- It's Pegeen I'm seeking only,
1541
01:32:39,583 --> 01:32:41,541
and what'd I care if you brought
1542
01:32:41,542 --> 01:32:43,791
a drift of chosen females,
1543
01:32:43,792 --> 01:32:46,374
standing in their shifts itself, maybe,
1544
01:32:46,375 --> 01:32:48,707
from this place to the Eastern World?
1545
01:32:48,708 --> 01:32:50,332
- They're going to hang him.
1546
01:32:50,333 --> 01:32:52,582
Fit these upon him, and let
him run off to the east.
1547
01:32:52,583 --> 01:32:54,707
- He's raving now, but
we'll fit them on him,
1548
01:32:54,708 --> 01:32:57,166
and I'll take him, in the
ferry, to the Achill boat.
1549
01:32:57,167 --> 01:32:58,042
- Leave me go!
1550
01:32:58,043 --> 01:33:00,249
When I'm thinking of my luck today,
1551
01:33:00,250 --> 01:33:01,791
for she will wed me surely,
1552
01:33:01,792 --> 01:33:04,166
and I a proven hero in the end of all.
1553
01:33:04,167 --> 01:33:05,999
- Take his left hand,
and we'll pull him now.
1554
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:07,874
Come on, young fellow.
1555
01:33:07,875 --> 01:33:08,916
- You'll be taking me from her?
1556
01:33:08,917 --> 01:33:11,916
You're jealous, is it, of her wedding me?
1557
01:33:11,917 --> 01:33:14,499
Go on from this.
1558
01:33:14,500 --> 01:33:16,082
- It's in the mad-house
they should put him,
1559
01:33:16,083 --> 01:33:16,917
not in jail, at all.
1560
01:33:16,918 --> 01:33:18,249
We'll go by the back-door
to get the doctor,
1561
01:33:18,250 --> 01:33:19,750
and we'll save him so.
1562
01:34:05,333 --> 01:34:07,375
- Look at the way he is.
1563
01:34:08,667 --> 01:34:11,249
Twist a hangman's knot on it,
and slip it over his head,
1564
01:34:11,250 --> 01:34:13,292
while he's not minding at all.
1565
01:34:17,042 --> 01:34:18,749
- Let you take it, Shaneen.
1566
01:34:18,750 --> 01:34:20,708
You're the soberest of all that's here.
1567
01:34:21,667 --> 01:34:22,500
- Is it me to go near him,
1568
01:34:22,501 --> 01:34:24,500
and him the wickedest and worst with me?
1569
01:34:28,583 --> 01:34:30,042
Let you take it, Pegeen Mike.
1570
01:34:40,042 --> 01:34:41,042
- Come on, so.
1571
01:34:45,708 --> 01:34:47,042
- What ails you?
1572
01:34:56,000 --> 01:34:58,999
- Come on to the peelers,
till they stretch you now.
1573
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:03,457
If we took pity on you, the
Lord God would bring us ruin
1574
01:35:03,458 --> 01:35:07,124
from the law today, so
that you'd come easy,
1575
01:35:07,125 --> 01:35:09,791
for hanging is an easy and a speedy end.
1576
01:35:09,792 --> 01:35:11,542
- I'll not stir.
1577
01:35:13,083 --> 01:35:14,582
And what is it you'll be saying now,
1578
01:35:14,583 --> 01:35:18,166
and I after doing it this
time in the face of all?
1579
01:35:18,167 --> 01:35:23,167
- I'll say, a strange man is a
marvel, with his mighty talk,
1580
01:35:23,208 --> 01:35:25,874
but what's a squabble in your back-yard,
1581
01:35:25,875 --> 01:35:26,958
and the blow of a loy,
1582
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:30,124
have taught me that there's a great gap
1583
01:35:30,125 --> 01:35:34,417
between a gallous story and a dirty deed.
1584
01:35:35,500 --> 01:35:37,791
- And it's yourself
who'll be sending me off
1585
01:35:37,792 --> 01:35:39,957
to have a horny-fingered hangman
1586
01:35:39,958 --> 01:35:43,791
hitching his bloody slip-knots
at the butt of my ear.
1587
01:35:43,792 --> 01:35:45,125
- Come on, will you?
1588
01:35:47,042 --> 01:35:50,625
- Cut the rope, Pegeen, and
I'll quit the lot of you.
1589
01:35:57,708 --> 01:36:00,042
- Take him on out from this.
1590
01:36:01,792 --> 01:36:04,707
- That's your kind, is it?
1591
01:36:04,708 --> 01:36:08,166
Then let the lot of you be wary,
1592
01:36:08,167 --> 01:36:10,499
for, if I'm to face the gallows,
I'll have a gay march down,
1593
01:36:10,500 --> 01:36:14,749
I'm telling you, and shed
the blood of some of you
1594
01:36:14,750 --> 01:36:16,000
before I die.
1595
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:20,750
- My leg's bit on me.
1596
01:36:21,792 --> 01:36:24,666
He's the like of a mad dog, I'm thinking,
1597
01:36:24,667 --> 01:36:27,249
the way that I will surely die.
1598
01:36:27,250 --> 01:36:28,666
- You will then,
1599
01:36:28,667 --> 01:36:31,207
the way you can shake out
hell's flags of welcome
1600
01:36:31,208 --> 01:36:33,707
for my coming in two weeks or three,
1601
01:36:33,708 --> 01:36:37,457
for I'm thinking Satan hasn't
many have killed their da
1602
01:36:37,458 --> 01:36:41,042
in Kerry, and in Mayo too.
1603
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:44,792
- Will you look what's come in'?
1604
01:36:51,375 --> 01:36:53,999
- Have you come to be killed a third time,
1605
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:56,291
or what ails you now?
1606
01:36:56,292 --> 01:36:58,332
- For what is it they have you tied?
1607
01:36:58,333 --> 01:36:59,707
- They're taking me to the peelers
1608
01:36:59,708 --> 01:37:02,542
to have me hanged for slaying you.
1609
01:37:05,875 --> 01:37:09,249
- It is the will of God I'm
thinking that all should guard
1610
01:37:09,250 --> 01:37:12,166
their little cabins from
the treachery of law,
1611
01:37:12,167 --> 01:37:14,249
and what would my daughter be doing
1612
01:37:14,250 --> 01:37:17,249
if I was ruined or was hanged itself?
1613
01:37:17,250 --> 01:37:21,041
- It's little I care if
you put a bag on her back,
1614
01:37:21,042 --> 01:37:24,332
and went picking cockles
till the hour of death,
1615
01:37:24,333 --> 01:37:28,207
but my son and myself
will be going our own way,
1616
01:37:28,208 --> 01:37:30,582
and we'll be having
great times from this out
1617
01:37:30,583 --> 01:37:33,541
telling stories of the villainy of Mayo,
1618
01:37:33,542 --> 01:37:35,750
and the fools is here.
1619
01:37:36,625 --> 01:37:37,625
Come on with me.
1620
01:37:38,750 --> 01:37:39,875
- Go with you, is it?
1621
01:37:41,833 --> 01:37:43,416
I will then,
1622
01:37:43,417 --> 01:37:46,374
like a gallant captain
with his heathen slave.
1623
01:37:46,375 --> 01:37:49,582
Go on now then and I'll
see you from this day
1624
01:37:49,583 --> 01:37:52,916
stewing my oatmeal and washing my spuds,
1625
01:37:52,917 --> 01:37:55,624
for I'm master of all fights from now.
1626
01:37:55,625 --> 01:37:57,957
Go on from this.
1627
01:37:57,958 --> 01:37:58,792
- Is it me?
1628
01:37:58,793 --> 01:38:00,541
- Not a word out of you.
1629
01:38:00,542 --> 01:38:02,291
Go on/.
1630
01:38:02,292 --> 01:38:03,542
- Glory be to God!
1631
01:38:04,958 --> 01:38:07,208
I am crazy again!
1632
01:38:17,500 --> 01:38:20,499
- 10,000 blessings upon all who's here,
1633
01:38:20,500 --> 01:38:24,666
for you've turned me a likely
gaffer in the end of all,
1634
01:38:24,667 --> 01:38:28,332
the way I'll go romancing
through a romping lifetime
1635
01:38:28,333 --> 01:38:31,625
from this hour to the dawning
of the judgement day.
1636
01:38:42,875 --> 01:38:47,875
- By the will of God, we'll
have peace now for our drinks.
1637
01:38:48,208 --> 01:38:49,917
Draw the porter, Pegeen.
1638
01:38:54,917 --> 01:38:57,124
- It's a miracle Father Reilly can wed us
1639
01:38:57,125 --> 01:38:58,291
in the end of all,
1640
01:38:58,292 --> 01:39:01,082
and we'll have none to trouble us
1641
01:39:01,083 --> 01:39:03,541
when his vicious bite is healed.
1642
01:39:03,542 --> 01:39:05,083
- Quit my sight.
1643
01:39:24,583 --> 01:39:25,707
Oh my grief,
1644
01:39:25,708 --> 01:39:27,000
I've lost him surely.
1645
01:39:31,708 --> 01:39:35,708
I've lost the only Playboy
of the Western World.
