Collected Plays And Teleplays (Irish Literature) - Plot & Excerpts
TADHG: It wouldn’t matter to me . . . (He stands still for a moment and stretches his arm.) I DON’T CARE only that it was me that taught you all the Irish you have! PEIG: (Sniggering.) You! You!! TADHG: (At the top of his voice.) Yeah, me! ME! PEIG: I suppose it was from you that I got my manners, too . . . and the money that bought this mahogany table. (She knocks on it.) WHAT DID I EVER GET FROM YOU BUT INSULTS . . . AND BACK-TALK . . . AND (her voice changes into a mocking imitation of his) “WHY IS IT THAT THE TEA CAN NEVER BE STRONG IN THIS HOUSE?” You? YOU? TADHG: (Low and threatening.) Maybe it would be better for you to be a little more careful. PEIG: Yourself and your little Irish lessons. TADHG: Be quiet, I’m telling you! PEIG: What’s that Art’s got? A pencil. Does Máire have a pencil? Máire has no pencil. Máire has a dolly. Ha-ha! TADHG: It won’t be a dolly that you’ll get if you keep this up, I promise you that much! PEIG: But look at Paul. Paul has a pencil.
