Mrs Brown  - Quotes

 Queen Victoria:
[to Prime Minister Disraeli] How dare the Irish break with the Anglicans? If Albert were alive today he would never allow the Crown to give up Church patronage. No, the Irish must be told, very firmly, to stay exactly where they are. It is the thin edge of the wedge, Mr Disraeli. Next, you will be telling me that the Crown no longer governs this nation.

Get off me you crazy bastard!
Walter 'Monk' McGinn:
[Leans in and whispers a line of Gaelic. Then, in English] It means, 'If you're not strong you'd better be smart.' Now I don't know if you're being too clever or too dumb, but whichever it is just remember this much. For all his faults, your father was a man who loved his people. [Releases Amsterdam and walks away]

Samuel Beckett  - Quotes

 The earth makes a sound as of sighs and the last drops fall from the emptied cloudless sky. A small boy, stretching out his hands and looking up at the blue sky, asked his mother how such a thing was possible. Fuck off, she said.

Nick of Time  - Quotes

 Mr. Smith:
There was this guy, big guy, Irish-Italian, red-faced, black-haired, jolly son of a bitch... [Gene turns away slightly]
Mr. Smith:
...wait a second: nobody could make me laugh like him. He made a science of collecting jokes. We closed more bars together than I could count. And he was a pal. I loved the crazy mick, and I'm not ashamed to say that, but he was a fuck-up. He had this image of himself, he thought he was a con man. Always trying to shave the edge. Nickel and dime. I'll always miss him. Tell me why.
Gene Watson:
Tell you why, what?
Mr. Smith:
Tell me why I miss him.
Gene Watson:
He's dead?
Mr. Smith:
That's right. He is dead, but tell me why.
Gene Watson:
How do I know? I don't ...
Mr. Smith:
Tell me why he's dead!
Gene Watson:
'Cause you killed him?
Mr. Smith:
That's right, I did. I killed him. He fucked up one too many times, so I put a bullet in his eye. Then, I put two more into him just to make sure. Now, that was somebody I loved; I loved him! But I got the call, I put him down like a sick animal. So, if you got doubts about what's gonna happen if you don't deliver, let me tell you something. I'll make gravy out of your little girl just to season that Black Irish cocksucker's meat. You do what you're supposed to do, young man. You do it now.

Beantown  - Quotes

 Angelo Vitale:
The Leones and the Winter Hill Gang both know that they're dyin' out. They've been watchin' it happen for ten years, and the pressure between the two's just been buildin' and buildin' to this entire time. They have excuses for this war of theirs, but they're only that, excuses. Somewhere in their collective minds, they see that they're a dying breed. Men who live such as they do, by the fist and the knife and the gun? They aren't meant to quietly disappear. They'd rather die fighting, killed in a war with those who've been their worthy opponents for over a hundred years, Irish and Italian alike. They would rather go down shooting than simply fade away. They may not say it, they may not even know it, but this is exactly how they want it to end.

 He had been thinking of how landscape moulds a language. It was impossible to imagine these hills giving forth anything but the soft syllables of Irish, just as only certain forms of German could be spoken on the high crags of Europe; or Dutch in the muddy, guttural, phlegmish lowlands.

 Thankfully the rest of the world assumed that the Irish were crazy, a theory that the Irish themselves did nothing to debunk. They had somehow got it into their heads that each fairy lugged around a pot of gold with him whever he went. While it was true that LEP had a ransom fund, because of its officers' high-risk occupaion, no human had ever taken a chunk of it yet. This didn't stop the Irish population in general from skulking around rainbows, hoping to win the supernatural lottery.
