“An Englishmen thinks seated; a Frenchmen standing; an American pacing, an Irishman, afterwards.”
Austin O'Malley
“The story is about an Irishman, fresh from prison, who wants to get out of the neighborhood and live somewhere nice, tropical, maybe find a nice girl. But the code of silence and loyalty to his friends forces him to stay. You can't easily walk away from that life, not without causing a lot of suspicion amongst the people you do business with. Ultimately the story is about dreams, and how sometimes they are left behind for the ones we love.”
Mike Kenney
“He was a great horseman, a great Irishman.”
Bill Enright
