the "i" character's name is given as 'marwood' in the original screenplay. it has been suggested that it is possible that 'marwood' can be heard near the beginning of the film: as the characters escape from the irishman in the mother black cap, withnail shouts "get out of my way!". some hear this line as "out of the way, marwood!", although the script reads simply "get out of my way!".
