Every now and then, the chatter is put on hold, and we are free to inspect the men who speak it; the one thing worth remembering in this playwright’s project is not the muck of its wordplay but the attention that it pays to Brendan Gleeson’s face. 

Farrell struck me as unfocussed and adrift, as he has so frequently in recent times, [resorting] too readily [to] twitches and tears. But Gleeson, who looks half like a whiskey priest and half like a pastry chef’s mistake, [holds] our gaze without effort, not least when his own gaze is held by altarpieces, books, and pictures in Belgian galleries.

and winkled out of [shells] with a knife. 

winkle
挑出(螺肉等)
This restaurant serves freshly [boiled] winkles.
He winkled the stone [out] from inside his shoe.

there was 
[gnashing] and [wailing]. 

Obviously the Miramax boys would turn London's pride into a Manhattanite, or worse.

The defense attorney went right for the jugular by attempting to [destroy] the witness's credibility.
