Keegan Monologue from John Bull's Other Island

From John Bull's Other Island by Bernard Shaw

male · defiant · 47 sec

You have an answer for everything, sir. But your plans leave one question still unanswered: how to get butter out of a dog's throat. (BROADBENT: Eh?) You cannot build your golf links and hotels in the air. For that you must own our land. And how will you drag our acres from the ferret's grip of Matthew Haffigan? How will you persuade Cornelius Doyle to forego the pride of being a small landowner? How will Barney Doran's millrace agree with your motor boats? Will Doolan help you to get a license for your hotel?
