00:00:28.046 --> 00:00:31.675
I'm sorry, Mr Donnelly,
00:00:31.806 --> 00:00:35.116
but your wife passed away at 3:00 this morning.
00:00:57.166 --> 00:00:59.122
Would you like to see her?
00:01:02.446 --> 00:01:05.916
Oh. Yes. Please. Thank you.
00:01:09.286 --> 00:01:14.997
Erm, I'd like to stay with you longer, Mr Donnelly,
but we're awful busy.
00:01:16.526 --> 00:01:19.165
Are you run off your feet, you are?
00:01:20.166 --> 00:01:22.760
Two cot deaths and a woman.
00:01:22.886 --> 00:01:24.877
Her son shot the poor head off her.
00:01:25.006 --> 00:01:28.635
No! Is she alive or is she dead?
00:01:28.766 --> 00:01:32.315
Ah, dead, dead. She had no head left on her, like.
00:01:35.326 --> 00:01:37.442
I'll leave you to it.
00:01:50.686 --> 00:01:53.325
I don't know what to say to you, babe.
00:01:56.086 --> 00:01:58.042
I don't know what to say.
00:02:04.606 --> 00:02:06.961
I brought you the photo of David.
00:02:16.926 --> 00:02:18.882
I don't know what to say.
00:02:21.606 --> 00:02:23.836
I don't know where you are now.
00:03:17.806 --> 00:03:19.319
Anyone sitting here?
00:03:19.446 --> 00:03:22.961
Oh, aye, there's hundreds of fellas, like.
Look at them.
00:03:24.326 --> 00:03:26.635
-It was a simple question.
-It was, aye.
00:03:26.766 --> 00:03:30.839
Them are the best type of questions.
It's them hard fuckers I can't stand.
00:04:01.206 --> 00:04:02.798
(WOMAN SNIFFLING)
00:04:11.526 --> 00:04:15.565
You! Here, you! What's the matter with you?
00:04:15.686 --> 00:04:20.043
-You seem a bit down in the dumps, like.
-Just mind your own business.
00:04:20.166 --> 00:04:24.045
Do you hear this one?
Sure, I'm only after a bit of a chat, like.
00:04:24.166 --> 00:04:27.363
-Chat with someone you know.
-I don't know anybody.
00:04:27.486 --> 00:04:29.761
I haven't a friend in the world.
00:04:34.406 --> 00:04:36.397
He's a bit huffy.
00:04:42.686 --> 00:04:46.076
KID: Hey, fella?
Why is it you never get tall jockeys?
00:04:47.646 --> 00:04:48.601
Huh?
00:04:48.726 --> 00:04:53.356
Why is it you never get tall jockeys?
They're always sort of midgety sort of fellas.
00:04:53.486 --> 00:04:55.875
-The weight.
-I know ''the weight''!
00:04:56.006 --> 00:04:59.078
Jesus, the weight, eh? The weight.
00:04:59.206 --> 00:05:02.596
But what do you do if you're a tall fella
and you want to be a jockey?
00:05:02.726 --> 00:05:04.762
It isn't fair on you, so it isn't.
00:05:04.886 --> 00:05:06.114
Me mam always used tell us
00:05:06.246 --> 00:05:08.476
that everybody could grow up
to be anything they wanted to be.
00:05:08.606 --> 00:05:13.726
Now, in the case of tall fellas who want
to be jockeys, that's patently fucking untrue.
00:05:13.846 --> 00:05:16.838
-You could show jump.
-You could show jump!
00:05:16.966 --> 00:05:19.434
You're just clutching at fucking straws now.
00:05:19.566 --> 00:05:23.878
You could show jump. Jesus. You could show jump!
00:05:27.366 --> 00:05:30.403
Dressage. There's another cunt
that gets on me fucking nerves.
00:05:30.526 --> 00:05:32.596
Would you mind watching your bloody language?
00:05:32.726 --> 00:05:35.524
Eh? This fella...
00:05:36.686 --> 00:05:37.755
Jeez.
00:05:39.206 --> 00:05:43.245
Well, I'm off to the buffet car
to get away from ye dull yokes.
00:05:43.366 --> 00:05:47.120
Anybody want anything? Cry Baby? No? Old fella?
00:05:47.246 --> 00:05:49.157
-A cup of tea?
-A cup of tea, uh-huh.
00:05:49.286 --> 00:05:52.756
No, don't get your money out 'cause if you think
I can be arsed lugging cups of tea
00:05:52.886 --> 00:05:57.004
up and down for you,
you've got another think coming, boy. Oh, aye.
00:06:00.726 --> 00:06:04.002
-Are you okay?
-No, I'm not okay.
00:06:07.406 --> 00:06:09.442
Is anything the matter?
00:06:09.566 --> 00:06:14.594
-Our son died last night. Cot death.
-Yeah. Tell everybody.
00:06:17.886 --> 00:06:19.399
I'm sorry.
00:06:44.926 --> 00:06:47.599
50p for a bag of Taytos.
00:06:47.726 --> 00:06:51.560
I cannot believe the gall of the ginger little bitch.
00:06:53.006 --> 00:06:54.917
-Oh, how much do I owe you?
-Skip it.
00:06:55.046 --> 00:06:57.435
-No, really.
-I said, skip it.
00:06:57.566 --> 00:07:00.034
Where's the old smiley twins?
00:07:02.606 --> 00:07:05.643
-Their son died last night.
-Did he?
00:07:06.726 --> 00:07:08.205
Oh, my God.
00:07:09.926 --> 00:07:11.837
Did they kill it?
00:07:11.966 --> 00:07:15.197
-No, they didn't kill it.
-Maybe they banged it on something.
00:07:15.326 --> 00:07:16.395
It was a cot death.
00:07:16.526 --> 00:07:19.199
That's what they all say.
I'll bet they banged it on something.
00:07:19.326 --> 00:07:22.204
I would if I had a kid. Just keep banging it, like.
00:07:22.326 --> 00:07:25.079
On something.
If he was getting on me nerves, like.
00:07:25.206 --> 00:07:26.958
Like Marvin Gaye's dad.
00:07:27.086 --> 00:07:30.362
I'd have shot Marvin Gaye
if I'd been Marvin Gaye's dad.
00:07:30.486 --> 00:07:32.158
Get the cunt to shut up.
00:07:32.286 --> 00:07:35.039
I'm surprised mams and dads
don't kill their kids more often.
00:07:35.166 --> 00:07:40.286
'Cause most kids are fucking rotten.
I certainly am. I'm a fucking rotten kid.
00:07:40.406 --> 00:07:42.397
-Have you got kids?
-No.
00:07:42.526 --> 00:07:44.562
Will you have? In the future, like?
00:07:44.686 --> 00:07:46.802
'Cause it doesn't matter
how old you are nowadays.
00:07:46.926 --> 00:07:50.396
Tony Curtis, he's fucking ancient
and he's still having kids.
00:07:50.526 --> 00:07:56.078
Not Tony Curtis, who? Rod Steiger.
I'm always getting them cunts mixed up.
00:07:56.246 --> 00:08:00.159
Rod Steiger, aye. And he's fucking 1 00, like.
Ah, sheep.
00:08:06.646 --> 00:08:08.841
Did you ever shout at a sheep?
00:08:10.006 --> 00:08:11.359
No.
00:08:11.486 --> 00:08:12.475
Oh.
00:08:15.966 --> 00:08:18.526
Oh, aye, here's Fred and Rosemary.
00:08:21.966 --> 00:08:25.322
-Where are you headed? Dublin?
-Dublin, aye.
00:08:25.446 --> 00:08:27.198
The city that never sweeps.
00:08:27.326 --> 00:08:31.239
See, I needed some heroin and a shite accent,
so I thought I'd head straight to the source, like.
00:08:31.366 --> 00:08:33.038
If you use that language one more time,
00:08:33.166 --> 00:08:34.918
I'm going to come over there
and beat the shit out of you.
00:08:35.046 --> 00:08:37.640
What language? Sure ''shite'' isn't swearing.
00:08:37.766 --> 00:08:39.961
-It is.
-It's fucking not, like!
00:08:40.086 --> 00:08:42.316
-Pato!
-I'm not taking any more of this shit today!
00:08:42.446 --> 00:08:44.914
Sure, let him hit me. I don't give a fuck, like.
00:08:45.046 --> 00:08:47.082
-Move somewhere else.
-You move somewhere else!
00:08:47.206 --> 00:08:50.357
-I was here before all you spas.
-Pato, sit down.
00:08:53.006 --> 00:08:55.520
Just one more crack. One more!
00:09:01.766 --> 00:09:06.203
Listen, I'm not defending you no more, okay?
I've got me own troubles.
00:09:14.766 --> 00:09:17.439
Here, I've this great story about
a cow with trapped wind,
00:09:17.566 --> 00:09:21.241
-do you want to hear it?
-No! Jesus!
00:09:21.806 --> 00:09:23.478
Ar, ye's are no fun.
00:09:39.726 --> 00:09:42.798
-You're not supposed to go up and down, no?
-No.
00:09:43.526 --> 00:09:45.244
Do you have Pringles?
00:09:45.366 --> 00:09:50.315
No. We got no call for fancy crisps round here.
We've Taytos or we've Ripples.
00:09:50.446 --> 00:09:53.244
-You don't sell spirits, no?
-It's 1 1 :00 in the morning.
00:09:53.366 --> 00:09:55.357
Oh, did I ask you what time it was?
00:09:55.486 --> 00:09:57.442
What I thought I asked you was,
''Do you sell spirits?''
00:09:57.566 --> 00:10:00.683
-Don't you be getting ratty with me.
-Yeah, well, don't you be getting ratty with me.
00:10:00.806 --> 00:10:03.366
-How was I getting ratty with you?
-Your general face was ratty.
00:10:03.486 --> 00:10:05.204
-Me face?
-Your general manner was ratty.
00:10:05.326 --> 00:10:06.839
Well, would you like to work on a train?
00:10:06.966 --> 00:10:08.843
Well, is it my fault that you have a shite job?
00:10:08.966 --> 00:10:14.086
I didn't say I had a shite job.
I was saying it wasn't all I'd hoped for meself.
00:10:14.206 --> 00:10:18.279
Are you getting me my booze
or am I just going to stand here, like?
00:10:32.446 --> 00:10:35.483
Are you not supposed to go up and down, no?
00:10:38.006 --> 00:10:40.998
-What can I get you?
-A couple of teas, please.
00:10:58.566 --> 00:11:02.525
Would he be retarded, do you think?
The young fella?
00:11:04.166 --> 00:11:09.320
I wouldn't have said retarded, no.
He knows what dressage is.
00:11:13.366 --> 00:11:15.926
No harm in him?
00:11:16.046 --> 00:11:19.083
That's what I was trying to say to you, like.
00:11:24.966 --> 00:11:28.845
Is that your dead kid? Give us a look.
00:11:31.046 --> 00:11:32.923
He looks like your man off of Bronski Beat.
00:11:33.046 --> 00:11:36.755
You remember your man off of Bronski Beat?
He looks like him.
00:11:36.886 --> 00:11:41.402
-No wonder you banged it on something.
-He was a cot death!
00:11:41.526 --> 00:11:43.323
That's what all you mams say.
00:11:43.446 --> 00:11:47.678
Everyone knows if you're lumped with
an ugly baby who'll disgrace you.
00:11:57.566 --> 00:11:59.796
Well, don't blame that on me.
00:12:05.446 --> 00:12:09.280
Hey, missus, your fella's back that way!
00:12:16.886 --> 00:12:19.400
Was that a bit much now?
00:12:19.526 --> 00:12:23.280
I think you might have gone
a bit overboard there, fella.
00:13:06.486 --> 00:13:08.875
-Did you see where my wife went to?
-I did, aye.
00:13:09.006 --> 00:13:12.919
She flung herself off the train five minute back,
dashed her brains to muck against a wall there.
00:13:13.046 --> 00:13:17.756
He is retarded. I'm going to look for my wife.
00:13:19.646 --> 00:13:24.037
Sure, just look out along the train.
She's dripping down the half of it.
00:13:34.086 --> 00:13:37.396
Don't look at me. I told you that five minutes ago.
00:13:46.446 --> 00:13:49.483
KID: I mean, she was acting like an oddball
from as soon as she sat down, like.
00:13:49.606 --> 00:13:52.643
All crying all over the place
like a mad thing, she was.
00:13:52.766 --> 00:13:55.678
Wasn't she all crying
all over the place like a mad thing, fella?
00:13:55.806 --> 00:13:58.240
-Her son had just died.
-He had, aye.
00:13:58.366 --> 00:14:02.484
Write that down
'cause that might've had something to do with it.
00:14:04.846 --> 00:14:08.998
That's him. Brutal-looking baby.
00:14:09.126 --> 00:14:12.675
He looks like your man off of Bronski Beat.
00:14:12.806 --> 00:14:16.321
-Your man off of where?
-Your man off of Bronski Beat.
00:14:17.046 --> 00:14:18.035
The gay man?
00:14:18.166 --> 00:14:21.954
Aye, the gay man, the gay man, the gay man.
Aye, the gay man.
00:14:22.846 --> 00:14:24.962
-Can I keep this?
-Work away, aye.
00:14:25.086 --> 00:14:28.635
Put it in your dead baby/Bronski Beat
lookalike file.
00:14:29.766 --> 00:14:32.883
-Do I know you from somewhere?
-Me? No.
00:14:36.526 --> 00:14:42.078
Okay, what were you and Mrs Dooley
talking about before she left the carriage?
00:14:42.206 --> 00:14:45.198
I was telling her me story
about this cow with trapped wind.
00:14:45.326 --> 00:14:48.875
Aw, jeez, that wouldn't have sent her
over the edge, would it, mister?
00:14:49.006 --> 00:14:54.319
Ah, no, I'm sure it was
just some sad things going on in her own mind.
00:14:56.806 --> 00:14:58.876
Thanks for your time, lads.
00:15:02.726 --> 00:15:05.763
And me thinking Freud had died long since.
00:15:35.326 --> 00:15:39.524
Get that train stopped!
And tell the boys to get their guns out!
00:15:54.206 --> 00:15:59.485
Jeez, you're so fucking maudlin.
You didn't even know the woman.
00:16:01.486 --> 00:16:05.161
-Have you no respect for the dead, no?
-I haven't, no.
00:16:05.286 --> 00:16:07.242
A black fella stole mine.
00:16:11.206 --> 00:16:15.404
Admit it, fella, she was getting on
your nerves, too, with her bawling.
00:16:19.126 --> 00:16:23.995
Sure, my mam got murdered last night,
but you don't see me off wailing like a spa.
00:16:27.646 --> 00:16:28.874
You're codding me?
00:16:29.006 --> 00:16:32.521
Oh, aye. I'm forever codding people
me mam's just been murdered.
00:16:32.646 --> 00:16:36.195
Oh, a great source of amusement to me, it is.
00:16:36.326 --> 00:16:38.556
You don't seem upset about it.
00:16:38.686 --> 00:16:42.998
Well, she wasn't the most pleasant of women,
and sure, life goes on.
00:16:45.966 --> 00:16:48.685
-My wife died last night.
-Did she?
00:16:49.886 --> 00:16:53.845
-Did she get murdered, too?
-No, no.
00:16:53.966 --> 00:16:58.084
Thank fuck. I thought we had
a fucking serial killer on the loose.
00:17:05.046 --> 00:17:07.799
Ah, now, don't cry, old fella.
00:17:07.926 --> 00:17:11.202
She's up with God now. She's up with God now.
00:17:13.486 --> 00:17:19.243
-I don't believe in God. Not no more.
-Eh? Of course you believe in God.
00:17:19.366 --> 00:17:24.804
-You're an old fella.
-No. Today was the last straw.
00:17:24.926 --> 00:17:28.919
Why, what happened today...
Oh, aye, your wife and now Mrs Train-surf woman.
00:17:29.046 --> 00:17:33.517
Well, sure, that wasn't God's fault.
He can't be everywhere at once, like.
00:17:37.206 --> 00:17:38.400
What?
00:17:40.246 --> 00:17:41.235
Nothing.
00:17:41.366 --> 00:17:44.597
Well, at last, a fucking smile out of you.
00:17:44.726 --> 00:17:47.923
Here, do you want to hear me story
about the cow with trapped wind?
00:17:48.046 --> 00:17:51.755
It's a fucking deadly story.
00:17:51.886 --> 00:17:53.763
I would. I would like to hear it.
00:17:53.886 --> 00:17:56.400
Would you? Fuck me!
00:17:58.206 --> 00:18:02.199
And the thing is, it's fucking true, like.
That's the mad thing.
00:18:03.846 --> 00:18:06.679
So I was at this cattle fair
with me da when I was seven.
00:18:06.806 --> 00:18:10.162
All these fucking cows around,
as you get at cattle fairs.
00:18:10.286 --> 00:18:12.959
And then this one cow got this trapped wind, like.
00:18:13.086 --> 00:18:15.395
There's a technical name for it,
but I don't know what the fuck it is.
00:18:15.526 --> 00:18:20.680
Anyways, this cow starts expanding
like a mad thing, starts fucking ballooning up,
00:18:20.806 --> 00:18:23.320
and that's really dangerous
'cause they can die like that.
00:18:23.446 --> 00:18:26.961
And nobody knew what to do
till this short, tiny fella popped up.
00:18:27.086 --> 00:18:28.565
He was just passing by, like.
00:18:28.686 --> 00:18:32.122
And he takes out a fucking screwdriver
and jumps into the pen,
00:18:32.246 --> 00:18:35.238
and everybody's going, ''Oh, fuck, no, '' like,
00:18:35.366 --> 00:18:39.644
and the short fella starts stabbing
big fucking holes in the side of this cow, like.
00:18:39.766 --> 00:18:42.644
And we all thought he was mental,
going stabbing a cow, like.
00:18:42.766 --> 00:18:45.326
But then the cow started deflating back to normal,
00:18:45.446 --> 00:18:48.119
'cause that's what you're supposed to do
with a cow with trapped wind.
00:18:48.246 --> 00:18:49.395
Stab the fucker.
00:18:49.526 --> 00:18:53.360
So everybody gave this short fella
a round of applause for being so on the ball, like.
00:18:53.486 --> 00:18:58.276
But then he starts giving us his whole life story
about what an expert he is on fucking cows.
00:18:58.406 --> 00:19:00.556
And he says this gas that's coming out of the cow,
00:19:00.686 --> 00:19:03.246
it's the exact same gas as
the gas in your oven back home,
00:19:03.366 --> 00:19:05.482
and everybody said, ''Fuck off, is it the same.''
00:19:05.606 --> 00:19:07.676
But the short fella said, ''It is. Watch.''
00:19:07.806 --> 00:19:09.762
And he lights the fucking gas, like,
00:19:09.886 --> 00:19:13.083
so there's this stream of fucking fire
shooting out of this cow,
00:19:13.206 --> 00:19:17.165
and we were so impressed, like,
and we gave him another round of applause.
00:19:17.286 --> 00:19:19.242
But then the gas must've backed up
inside or something
00:19:19.366 --> 00:19:22.836
'cause the cow fucking exploded.
00:19:50.086 --> 00:19:52.919
Best day of me fucking life, that cow exploding.
00:20:06.606 --> 00:20:08.836
-This is me.
-You're off here, are you?
00:20:08.966 --> 00:20:12.845
Fair enough, so.
You were starting to bore the tits off me.
00:20:15.526 --> 00:20:17.164
Good luck to you.
00:20:18.286 --> 00:20:19.435
Fella?
00:20:22.126 --> 00:20:25.038
Sorry to hear about your dead missus and all.
00:20:25.166 --> 00:20:26.155
Oh.
00:20:28.246 --> 00:20:30.202
Yeah. Thank you.
00:20:31.766 --> 00:20:34.439
-Sorry about your mam.
-Ah, no loss.
00:21:03.766 --> 00:21:06.360
(TRAIN WHEELS SCREECHING)
00:21:06.486 --> 00:21:10.365
DOCTOR: Two cot deaths and a woman.
Her son shot the poor head off her.
00:21:11.446 --> 00:21:13.164
No!
00:21:59.206 --> 00:22:00.241
No!
00:22:08.646 --> 00:22:10.398
I didn't hit one of them.
00:22:10.566 --> 00:22:17.358
That was fucking woeful shooting.
Fucking woeful, like. You know, like?
00:22:17.486 --> 00:22:21.479
Do you know what I mean, like?
Like... Like, just fucking woeful.
00:22:53.966 --> 00:22:56.161
(SIRENS WAILING)
00:23:42.726 --> 00:23:44.956
I hope I'll see you soon, babe.
00:23:47.366 --> 00:23:49.596
If I don't, I don't.
00:24:18.566 --> 00:24:20.079
(SCRATCHING)
00:24:40.646 --> 00:24:42.796
There, there, there.
00:24:47.366 --> 00:24:49.084
There, there, David.
00:24:55.846 --> 00:24:58.155
There's one for the each of us.
00:25:06.926 --> 00:25:09.121
I'll be following you shortly.
00:25:14.926 --> 00:25:16.245
(GUN FIRES)
00:25:26.726 --> 00:25:28.125
(GUN FIRES)
00:25:52.526 --> 00:25:53.925
Oh, Jesus.
00:25:55.886 --> 00:25:57.604
What a fucking day.
00:26:30.230 --> 00:26:31.822
Anyone sitting here?
00:26:31.950 --> 00:26:35.022
Oh, aye, there's hundreds of fellas, like.
Look at them.
00:26:36.910 --> 00:26:39.344
-It was a simple question.
-It was, aye.
00:26:39.470 --> 00:26:43.429
Them are the best type of questions.
It's them hard fuckers I can't stand.
00:26:44.990 --> 00:26:46.628
It's about the train journey,
00:26:46.750 --> 00:26:49.184
and all sorts of mad things that happen
on that journey.
00:26:49.310 --> 00:26:51.585
And I play the strange young man who we meet.
00:26:51.710 --> 00:26:54.270
50p for a bag of Taytos.
00:26:54.390 --> 00:26:58.019
I cannot believe the gall of the ginger little bitch.
00:26:58.150 --> 00:27:02.587
Martin McDonagh's writing has always been
a source of great pleasure to me,
00:27:02.710 --> 00:27:04.189
I have to say.
00:27:04.310 --> 00:27:08.781
And I guess it was the prospect
of working with him.
00:27:08.910 --> 00:27:11.344
When I took it on,
00:27:11.470 --> 00:27:14.268
there were a number of questions
I had to ask him first about it.
00:27:14.390 --> 00:27:18.303
Well, I've been working with Martin McDonagh,
I suppose, since he began writing
00:27:18.430 --> 00:27:20.546
and I had done all of his plays
with the Druid Theatre Company.
00:27:20.670 --> 00:27:23.309
And so when he decided to shoot it in Ireland,
00:27:23.430 --> 00:27:25.546
which wasn't necessarily where
he was always going to shoot it.
00:27:25.670 --> 00:27:29.424
When he did decide to shoot here,
we decided to do it with an Irish cast.
00:27:29.550 --> 00:27:33.225
Rod Steiger.
I'm always getting them cunts mixed up.
00:27:33.350 --> 00:27:37.059
Rod Steiger, aye. And he's fucking 1 00, like.
Ah, sheep.
00:27:38.350 --> 00:27:42.468
I learned a lot about his writing in general
just from that experience.
00:27:42.590 --> 00:27:45.104
Um, you know, it's so dark and so irreverent
and everything else,
00:27:45.230 --> 00:27:47.949
but there's a lot of love in it
00:27:48.070 --> 00:27:51.028
and there's a lot of obvious pain and grief.
00:27:51.150 --> 00:27:55.507
But there's a joy in the nonsense
of the human condition, too.
00:27:55.630 --> 00:27:57.461
It's quite complex.
00:27:57.590 --> 00:28:01.424
Well, I had the script for a long time.
I got the script eight years ago.
00:28:02.190 --> 00:28:06.388
And, well, Martin wrote it,
that would be the first thing. That's really good.
00:28:06.510 --> 00:28:08.705
And it's a really good part.
00:28:09.230 --> 00:28:11.221
And... Yeah, that would be basically it, really.
00:28:11.350 --> 00:28:15.502
That's him. Brutal-looking baby.
00:28:15.630 --> 00:28:18.019
He looks like your man off of Bronski Beat.
00:28:19.350 --> 00:28:23.229
-Your man off of where?
-Your man off of Bronski Beat.
00:28:23.350 --> 00:28:24.339
The gay man?
00:28:24.470 --> 00:28:27.826
Aye, the gay man, the gay man, the gay man.
Aye, the gay man.
00:28:29.510 --> 00:28:31.421
-Can I keep this?
-Work away, aye.
00:28:31.550 --> 00:28:34.906
Put it in your dead baby/Bronski Beat
lookalike file.
00:28:35.030 --> 00:28:40.900
I think Ruaidhri Conroy, who plays the lead in it,
was always very much a first instinct for the role.
00:28:41.030 --> 00:28:43.783
In fact, I'd hazard a guess and say
that Martin probably had Ruaidhri in mind
00:28:43.910 --> 00:28:45.263
when he was writing the script.
00:28:45.390 --> 00:28:48.587
The character's kind of
loosely based on me, I think.
00:28:48.710 --> 00:28:52.589
But I didn't do any research, no.
No. I try and avoid research,
00:28:53.870 --> 00:28:56.748
when I can, at all costs. But no, no, it's just...
00:28:56.870 --> 00:29:01.386
He's not really a very... It's not necessarily
a very realistic character anyway, so...
00:29:02.070 --> 00:29:03.628
No, I just pulled him out of thin air.
00:29:03.750 --> 00:29:06.469
Ruaidhri started in the business as a kid actor,
you know.
00:29:06.590 --> 00:29:09.150
He's been on film sets, I'd say,
since he was the age of eight.
00:29:09.270 --> 00:29:13.707
And obviously played a huge lead
in a major movie when he was 1 3,
00:29:13.830 --> 00:29:15.309
which was Into the West.
00:29:15.430 --> 00:29:19.628
He's also a huge fan of action films,
so that helped, I'm sure.
00:29:19.750 --> 00:29:21.263
GLEESON: Well, I worked with him on
Into the West,
00:29:21.390 --> 00:29:24.029
which was the first big part I got in a film.
00:29:24.150 --> 00:29:27.620
You know, a part of any significance
that I got in any film, really,
00:29:27.750 --> 00:29:31.425
was Into the West, and Ruaidhri was the star...
One of the stars there.
00:29:31.550 --> 00:29:34.383
Ciarán Fitzgerald...
So I knew him when he was a nipper.
00:29:34.510 --> 00:29:38.981
He was... He was fun. He's always fun.
He's always interesting to work with, Ruaidhri.
00:29:39.110 --> 00:29:42.307
It was quite difficult to know whether or not
somebody like Brendan Gleeson
00:29:42.430 --> 00:29:43.909
would lend his name to a short film.
00:29:44.030 --> 00:29:47.864
I mean, his career at the time we were doing
Six Shooter was seriously in its ascendance,
00:29:47.990 --> 00:29:51.949
so it was quite a coup, actually,
to get Brendan to agree to play the role.
00:29:52.070 --> 00:29:53.981
Her son shot the poor head off her.
00:29:54.110 --> 00:29:57.785
No! Is she alive or is she dead?
00:29:57.910 --> 00:30:01.459
Ah, dead, dead. She had no head left on her, like.
00:30:02.670 --> 00:30:06.583
HUGHES: Being nominated for an Oscar
is obviously an incredible feeling.
00:30:06.710 --> 00:30:10.225
I was happy, I suppose,
but I wasn't really all that surprised.
00:30:10.350 --> 00:30:12.420
I had a feeling it was going to win.
00:30:12.444 --> 00:30:32.444
