The other emotional part for me was him shouting in Old Irish that he's not evil. Damn Wednesday making him do this evil thing. But I'm Irish, I'm a sucker for leprechauns.

Damn! You translated the shouting part or you understood it??? I don't remember it in the book, was it there?
It's pretty close to "Haven't I believed enough in your bullshit? Haven't I suffered enough? Isn't that enough itself? I'm not evil! I'm not!" with some wiggle room given for various dialectics, or "Why does this bullshit keep happening to me?" However I more inclined to think the former, and he's cursing specifically at Wednesday.
That's fascinating. Then, Leprechauns are not as much Celtic folk characters than Viking/Nordic lost souls gone rogue on irish land! :) That fits perfectly
