Donny (scared): Oh, Padraic, don't be tying me hands behind me back, now. We know what you be doing to fellas their hands you tie behind their back ...Not a play I would suggest for the easily squeamish (the last scene opens with a "blood-soaked living room strewn with body parts"), but McDonagh is at his black comedy best with The Lieutenant of Inishmore.
Davey: What does he be doing to them, Donny? Tickling them?
Donny gives him a look.
Davey (crying): I was just trying to keep me hopes up.
