The Wind That Shakes the Barley - Discussion on British Soldier Presence
Damien:
How many British soldiers in the country, Tim?
Tim:
Too many.
Damien:
How many?
Teddy:
About ten thousand, Damien.
Damien:
Ten thousand. Tans, artillery units, machine-gun car, cavalry...
Teddy:
And many more besides. What's your point, Damien?
Damien:
It's young men like Micheail we're talkin about, Teddy.
Teddy:
Micheail was a real Irishman, Damien.
Ned:
You're a coward, Damien.
Damien:
I'm a coward? And you're a hero, isn't it, Ned? You're gonna take down the British army with your hurley, is that it?
Rory:
For Christ's sake, Damien. What about Micheail?
Damien:
Look, Micheail was killed because he wouldn't say his name in English. Is that what you call a martyr, Teddy, is it?
Sinead:
So we should all buy a one-way ticket to London, is that it, Damien?
