** The young man's jump of surprise after the woman thumps against the outside of his window leaving a smear of blood (she's just leapt from the train) is funny.

''Six Shooter'' is a 2004 short film (27 minutes) directed by Creator/MartinMcDonagh, starring Creator/BrendanGleeson.
The film opens with a man named Donnelly (Gleeson) being told that his wife died. Donnelly leaves the hospital and boards a train for the ride home. He sits across from a foul-mouthed and garrulous young man (Rúaidhrí Conroy) who will not stop with his endless stream of obscenities. While Donnelly seems amused in spite of himself, the young man's foul talk antagonizes the only other passengers in the car, a married couple who have just lost their infant son to a "crib death." Tragedy ensues, followed by a surprising twist.
----
!!Tropes:
* BloodyHilarious: The young man's ridiculous story of the cow with "trapped wind", which ends with the cow literally exploding, sending beef flying everywhere.
* DownerBeginning: The first line of dialogue has Donnelly, in the hospital, being told his wife died at 3 a.m.
* DrivenToSuicide: The young man's cruel jokes about how the mother must have killed her ugly baby lead to the mother jumping from the train to her death.
* FartsOnFire: The young man tells a silly but supposedly true story of a cow swelling up from trapped flatulence, and how a bystander stabbed the cow with a screwdriver to vent the methane. That worked, but when the bystander made the major mistake of lighting the methane venting from the cow, the cow blows up. The young man calls it "the greatest moment of me life."
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The doctor's comments in the opening scene about having had to deal with "a couple" of crib deaths as well as a woman getting her head blown off, the young man's comments about how he finds it amazing that parents don't kill their children, and the cop's "don't I know you?" question to the young man. Turns out the young man was responsible for all the deaths, and the police were already looking for him.
* GunsAkimbo: The young man pulls out two revolvers and fires off both of them at the cops waiting outside the train.
* NamelessNarrative: Not quite--Gleeson's character is addressed as "Mr. Donnelly" in the opening scene but no other names are used.
* SirSwearsALot: Approximately every fifth word from the young man's mouth is a swear word.
* TwistEnding: The young man, who is exceedingly foul-mouthed and obnoxious but seems generally unremarkable, turns out to be a SerialKiller that murdered at least two babies as well as his own mother.
