Quotes3

  • [Brona Croft fights with Ethan Chandler about her consumption]
  • Brona Croft: You're fucking a skeleton every night, for Christ's sake. There's no goddamn future in it for either of us. Who are we trying to fool? You want to watch me die? Fuck, no. Go on, go on! Go in to your lady friend now, and have one of your clever chats, you two. Wake up, son.
  • Brona Croft: [Brona slaps Mr. Chandler across the face] From now on, you fuck me like anyone else, after you've paid.
  • [Ethan Chandler and Brona Croft arrive to the theater for 'The Transformed Beast' showing]
  • Brona Croft: [Brona in her Irish accent] Oh, Ethan, I've wanted to come here forever. Monstrous little horrors they enact.
  • Ethan Chandler: Say it like that and you can get me to do anything.
  • Brona Croft: What?
  • Ethan Chandler: [Mr. Chandler chuckles] 'Eatin.'
  • [Brona Croft tells Ethan Chandler that she was engaged before]
  • Brona Croft: I was engaged once, back in Belfast. Riveter in the shipyard he was. Brutal man with brutal hands. When he fucked me, he would put one of those big hands over my face and turn it away, so he wouldn't have to look into my eyes. There I was, engaged to him.
  • Ethan Chandler: Why?
  • Brona Croft: There was no money. It's what you did. You married or you whored. One night, he was fucking me, and he got really tough and there was blood. I went to my mother. She said to go back and marry him. Same day I walked down Leopold Street off the Shankill Road and fucked a stranger for money.
  • Ethan Chandler: [Mr. Chandler turns Brona's face to his] We've all done things to survive. There are such sins at my back it would kill me to turn around.
