The Banshees of Inisherin

A Call to Leave Inisherin Behind

Dominic Kearney Me, I pay no attention to wars. I'm agin em. Wars and soap.

Siobhan Súilleabháin Dear Padraic, I am safely ensconced in the mainland and, Padraic, it's lovely here. There's a river running past my window as I write, and the people already seem less bitter and mental. I'm not sure why, but I think it's cause a lot of them are from Spain. Mostly, I wanted to say there's a spare bed here for you, Padraic. And with the war almost over, I think there'd be work for ya here. Because there's nothing for you on Inisherin. Nothing but more bleakness and grudges and loneliness and spite and the slow passing of time until death. And sure, you can do that anywhere. So come, Padraic. Leave there.

The Banshees of Inisherin

Unexpected Encounters on Inisherin

Dominic Kearney Howdo!

Siobhan Súilleabháin Jesus Christ, Dominic! Would you ever stop creeping up on people? You almost gave me a fecking heart attack!

Dominic Kearney I wasn't creeping up on ya. I was sliding up on ya.

Siobhan Súilleabháin Between you and that ghoul, Jesus!

Dominic Kearney I always call her a ghoul, too, because she is a ghoul. Jeez, we have a lot in common, don't we? Me and you. Calling old people ghouls and that. It's a great old lake, isn't it? I'm glad I caught you, actually. Because there was somethin I was wantin to ask ya, actually. And discovering how much we have in common... well, it just makes me want to ask you even more.

Siobhan Súilleabháin We don't have anything in common.

Dominic Kearney Don't skip ahead. But yeah, what I was wantin to ask you was... Somethin along the lines of... Should've planned this, really. Well, yeah, what I was wantin to ask you was... You probably wouldn't ever want to, I don't know... to fall in love with a boy like me, would ya?

Siobhan Súilleabháin Dominic, I don't think so, love.

Dominic Kearney No, yeah, no. I was thinking no. Not even in the future, like? Like when I'm your age?

Dominic Kearney Yeah, no, I didn't think so. Just thought I'd ask on the off chance, you know... like "faint heart" and that. Well, there goes that dream. Well... I best go over there and do whatever that thing over there I was gonna do was.

The Batman

Anniversary Gifts and Dark Intentions

Unseen Arkham Prisoner A present. Almost our anniversary, isn't it?

Batman He's a serial killer. I want your perspective.

Prisoner First anniversary is paper! What makes you think I'd come so cheap?

Batman I thought you'd be curious.

Prisoner You think I get off on this stuff?

Batman Don't you?

Prisoner You have pictures. Oh, his violence is so baroque! Oh, he likes little puzzles, doesn't he? So meticulous, like he's been planning this his whole life. I know who he is!

[reading the file]

Batman Who? Who is he?

Prisoner He's a nobody that wants to be somebody. The mayor, the commissioner. He's got ambition.

Batman You think his motive's political?

Prisoner Oh, no, no. This is very personal. He feels these people have all wronged him. Probably goes way back: unhealed wounds, stolen lunch money.

Batman And why is he writing to me?

Prisoner Maybe he's a fan of yours? Or maybe he's got a grudge against you too. Maybe you're the main course. Any theories?

Batman Not yet.

Prisoner Really? You're normally so ahead of the curve, but something is different this time. This is very upsetting to you.

Batman Let's get back to him.

Prisoner Why? You're so much more fun!

Batman I'm not here to talk about me.

Prisoner What are you here to talk about?

Batman I wanna know how he thinks.

Prisoner You know exactly how he thinks. Have you read this file? You two have so much in common. Masked avengers! But he's even more righteous. Ah, you're afraid he makes you look soft?

[laughs]

Batman I'm wasting my time.

[gets up to leave]

Prisoner I'll tell you what I really think. I think you don't really care about his motives or whether he loves you or hates you. I think somewhere deep down you're just terrified, because you're not sure he's wrong! Huh? You think they deserved it, huh? You think they deserved it!

[laughs uncontrollably]

The Batman

The Value of Friendship in Adversity

Unseen Arkham Prisoner Isn't that just terrible? Them raining on your parade like that? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. What is it they say? One day you're on top. The next you're a clown. Well, let me tell you, there are worse things to be. Hey! Hey, hey. Don't be sad. You did so well! And you know, Gotham loves a comeback story.

The Riddler Who are you?

Unseen Arkham Prisoner Well, that's the question, isn't it? Riddle me this: the less of them you have, the more one is worth.

The Riddler A friend.
