MICUS If the min in the other stars are like the peelers, there won't be much room in Hell after the good are taken to Heaven on the last day. PADNA The last day! I don't like to think about the last day. MICUS Why so? PADNA Well, 'tis terrible to think that we might be taken to Heaven, (_pauses_) an' our parents an' childer might be sent (_points towards the floor_) with the Protestants. MICUS If the Protestants will be as well treated in the next world as they are in this, I wouldn't mind goin' with 'em meself. PADNA I wouldn't like to be a Protestant after I'm dead, Micus. MICUS (_knocks with his pint on the table and Mrs. Cotter enters; he points to pints_) The same again, Mrs. Cotter. |
