Quotes 

• Benson : I have had that whistle for 40 years. It saved my grandfathers life.

  Father Ted Crilly : Did it really?

  Benson : It did. He was being executed by tge British, they had him up against a wall and they shot him. And the bullets all hit the whistle in his coat pocket and bounced off it.

  Father Ted Crilly : God Almighty, so he survived?

  Benson : No no. They just reloaded and shot him again.
