The Banshees of Inisherin 2022 quotes, page 2

What do you need from him, Colm? To end all this?

Colm Doherty

Silence, Siobhan. Just silence.

One more silent man on Inisherin, good-oh! Silence it is, so.

Colm Doherty

This isn't about Inisherin. It's about one boring man leaving another man alone, that's all.

One boring man! You're all **** boring! With your piddling grievances over nothin'! You're all **** boring! I'll see he doesn't talk to you no more.

Colm Doherty

Do. Else it'll be all four of them the next time, not just the one.

You're not serious. Well, that won't help your fecking music.

Colm Doherty

Aye. We're gettin' somewhere now.

I think you might be ill, Colm.

You can't just all of a sudden stop being friends with a fella!

Colm Doherty

Why can't I?

Why can't ya? Because it isn't nice. Has he said somethin' to ya when he was drunk?

Colm Doherty

No, I prefer him when he's drunk. It's all the rest of the time I have the problem with.

What's the fecking matter, then?

Colm Doherty

He's dull, Siobhan.

He's what?

Colm Doherty

He's dull.

But he's always been dull. What's changed?

Colm Doherty

I've changed. I just don't have a place for dullness in me life anymore.

But you live on an island off the coast of Ireland, Colm. What the hell are you hoping for, like?

Colm Doherty

For a bit of peace, Siobhan. That's all. For a bit of peace in me heart, like. You can understand that. Can't ya? Can't ya?

Mrs. O'Riordan: Letter came for ya.

Fell open, did it?
Mrs. O'Riordan: Aye, in the heat, I suppose.

Colm Doherty

I do worry sometimes I might just be entertaining myself while staving off the inevitable.

Pádraic Súilleabháin

It was all going fine until he chopped off all his fingers.

Pádraic Súilleabháin

Some things there's no moving on from. And I think that's a good thing.
