Мартин МакДона (Martin McDonagh)EXT. VARIOUS ISLAND LOCATIONS - DAY 1
THE ISLAND OF INISHERIN, 1923. PADRAIC SUILLEABHAIN
(SULLIVAN), a good-looking man of 35 or so, walks the island’s winding stone-walled lanes; past thatched cottages, the ancient graveyard, castle ruins, a little lake. Past the * island’s small dock-side town and the boats tied up there. *
Past a startled cow that makes him smile.
Finally, he comes over the brow of a hill that looks down upon...
2 EXT. HILL ABOVE COLM’S HOUSE - DAY 2
A lonely cottage overlooking a wild crescent beach. Smoke is rising from its chimney. PADRAIC continues on down to it.
3 EXT. COLM’S HOUSE - DAY 3
PADRAIC arrives at the cottage, a dog on the grass outside, which he gives a pat to, & it gives him a lick. He knocks on the front door. No response. Puts his face to the window...
4 INT. COLM’S HOUSE - DAY 4
Inside, a big man, COLM DOHERTY, late 50’s, is sitting in an armchair, back to us, smoking.
PADRAIC
Colm? Are you coming out to the pub, Colm?
5 EXT. COLM’S HOUSE - CONTINUOUS 5
PADRAIC tries the door. Locked. Unusual. Looks in window.
PADRAIC
You’ve the door... He has the door... *
Funny. Are you not coming out to the pub, Colm? It’s two o’clock, like.
COLM’S grandfather clock CHIMES TWO. COLM smokes again, * staring ahead.
PADRAIC (CONT'D)
Are you having a fag for yourself?
(pause)
Shall I see you down there so?
(pause)
I’ll see you down there so.
COLM smokes without acknowledgement. PADRAIC walks away, looking back at the house now and then, disconcerted.

6 EXT. PADRAIC’S HOUSE - DAY 6
PADRAIC arrives back at his own cottage, overlooking the grey * sea, his dwarf donkey, Jenny, in garden (red ribbon & bell * around her neck), his small pony, two cows & a calf in the * next door field, his younger sister SIOBHAN, hanging washing.
SIOBHAN
What are you doing home? Brother? What are you doing home?
PADRAIC
I knocked on ColmSonnyLarry and he’s just sitting there.
SIOBHAN
Sitting there doing what?
PADRAIC
Sitting there doing nothing. Smoking.
SIOBHAN
Was he asleep?
PADRAIC
He was smoking, Siobhan! How do you smoke in your sleep, like?!
SIOBHAN
It wasn’t just lit and in his hand?
PADRAIC
No. It was lit, it was up to his gob, it was down from his gob.
SIOBHAN
Have ye been rowing?
