Catholic paraphernalia on smoke-stained red walls. DOMINIC’s pudgy policeman father, PEADAR, who we met earlier, asleep, naked on a chair, uniform hanging on the wall behind him.
It’s a very weird image, & PADRAIC tries not to look at him, as DOMINIC puts his finger to his lips for them to be quiet.
DOMINIC
(whispered)
Daddy’ll kill us if we wake him when
he’s been wanking.
...then tiptoes across to his naked father, quietly takes the bottle of poteen that’s either on the table beside him or in his arms, then stealthily tiptoes back to PADRAIC. They look back at naked PEADAR a moment.
DOMINIC (CONT'D)
(whispered)
Do you like to look at men?
PADRAIC is confused/repulsed...
PADRAIC
No. Jesus..!
...and leaves. DOMINIC looks at his Dad a little longer.
DOMINIC
Yeah, me neither.
