I was too harsh yesterday.

Pádraic Súilleabháin

Yesterday, he says! I know well you was too harsh yesterday.

Colm Doherty

I just... I just have this tremendous sense of time slipping away on me, Padraic. And I think I need to spend the time I have left thinking and composing. Just trying not to listen to any more of the dull things you have to say for yourself. But I am sorry about it. I am, like.

Pádraic Súilleabháin

Are you dying?

Colm Doherty

No, I'm not dying.

Pádraic Súilleabháin

But then you have loads of time.

Colm Doherty

For chatting?

Pádraic Súilleabháin

Aye.

Colm Doherty

For aimless chatting?

Pádraic Súilleabháin

Not for aimless chatting. For good, normal chatting.

Colm Doherty

So we'll keep aimlessly chatting and my life will keep on dwindling. And in 12 years, I'll die with nothin' to show for it, bar the chats I've had with a limited man, is that it?

Pádraic Súilleabháin

I said, "not aimless chatting" I said "Good, normal chatting."

Colm Doherty

The other night, two hours, you spent talking to me about the things you found in your little donkey's shite that day. Two hours, Padraic. I timed it.

Pádraic Súilleabháin

Well it wasn't me little donkey's shite, was it? It was me pony's shite. Which shows how much you were listenin'.

Colm Doherty

None of it helps me. Do you understand? None of it helps me.

Pádraic Súilleabháin

We'll just talk about something else, then!
