Whisky Galore! Page #2

Well, I only knew myself yesterday evening

that Catriona was...

You mean to stand there that and tell me

that you'd not been thinking of that girl

until yesterday evening?

Oh, I'd been thinking about her, yes!

Then why was I kept in the dark

about your thoughts?

By the time I'd got back

you'd gone to bed.

The bed I have made for myself

and on which I must lie!

This comes of spoiling my only child!

Spoiling me?

Spare the rod...

- You never did

- ... and spoil the child

Now look mother what would have

been the use of upsetting you and...

So you Knew that it would upset me! You knew it!

But you went on all the same

thinking only of yourself!

You've always thought only of yourself.

How many times as a child

have I caught you in the blackcurrants

when you knew perfectly well

that I wanted all the blackcurrants for my own jam

Mother, if I bring Catriona to tea,

will you be nice to her?

The day you bring Catriona Macroon

to this house

I walk out!

I'll go and live with your aunt in Glasgow

- But you hate Glasgow!

- Never mind!

"The Lord Chastiseth them that he loveth"

And who am I to set myself up

against the Lord?

There are more people in Snorvaig

But they are not so nice as the

people in Garryboo

Because they are so stuck up.

The Island Queen is a beautiful boat

but there was no Whisky this week.

And when there is no whisky,

we are all very sad.

Come along, get a move on there!

Not good enough you know!

Every time they move that roadblock

it's longer than the last!

How do you account for that?

Well I wouldn't say they are doing too badly you know

It's pretty heavy sir.

All right Sergeant, we'll see it again.

Once again men! Move!

- It's very discouraging!

- Yes sir

Just one point that did strike me, sir.

What's that?

Well sir,

if this is the only road around the island

All that Gerry would need to do in theory

would be to turn round and come in the other way.

Yes! I was wondering when you were

going to think of that!

You should have pointed that out to me before,

Mr. Campbell.

Well it's easy enough to put it right, sir.

I mean to say, if you have them at all

I'd suggest you put out a couple more roadblock

that's all sir.

- put that in hand

- yes sir.

They've been getting appallingly slack lately.

When there was a chance of invasion they were keen

enough

Now the immediate danger of invasion has gone

the keenness has gone, too.

Well, it's understandable, sir.

They are so unsporting!

They don't do things for the sake of doing them

like the English!

We play the game for the sake of the game

Other nations play the game for the sake of winning it.

I tried to introduce football onto the island
