Erin: Wise up, Mammy! As if a polar bear's going to rock up at a Take That concert!
Orla: He wouldn't get a ticket, for a start. They sold out months ago.
Mary: You'd be surprised, girls.
Joe: Aye, thon boys would get in where draughts wouldn't.
Gerry: Sure, the concert's nowhere near the zoo.

Sarah: Aye, keep up, Gerry.

Quote from The Prom

Ian Paisley: [on TV] This document is an insult to the majority of people of Northern Ireland!
Gerry: All right, Ian, we get the idea, like.
Joe: What are you footering at?
Gerry: Ah, the picture's just gone a bit, sort of... [Joe smacks the TV] Dear Jesus!
Joe: You have to give it a bit of a shock now and again. [hits it again] You have to keep it on its toes.
Gerry: I'm not sure you do have to keep it on its toes, Joe. It's a television. [Joe hits it repeatedly] OK, OK, OK! I'm just going to turn it off and turn it on again. That usually does the trick. [turns the TV off] There we go. Hm? There doesn't seem to be anything happening now.
Joe: This stupid prick's broken the TV, Mary!
Mary: For God's sake, Gerry.
Joe: He's been footering.
Gerry: Excuse me. You're the one that was thumping it repeatedly, Joe.
Joe: I'll thump you repeatedly.

Joe: Oh, just keep out of it, you!
Mary: And that's who you were winking at in mass?
Sarah: Winking? At your age? Christ, I feel sick.
Joe: It was only a friendly wink.
Mary: There is no such thing as a friendly wink!
Gerry: Is there not?
Mary: Our poor mother is barely cold... and you're straight back out there, winking away.

Joe: Look, I'll not tell you again!
Mary: I'm sorry. I seem to have lost my appetite. [exits]
Joe: [to Gerry] Are you happy now?!

Quote from Halloween

Gerry: I thought we should have a chat, because...
Ciaran: Sorry, Gerry. I find it hard to concentrate with...
Gerry: Yeah, of course. Could you take that thing off, please, Joe? Joe. [Joe removes his Halloween mask] So, I thought we should have a bit of a chat.
Ciaran: Yeah, definitely. We should get to know each other a bit. All the lads. I mean, we'll be family soon enough, won't we?
Joe: Nope.
Gerry: The thing is, Ciaran, we all know Sarah can be a bit... I don't want to say light in the pan. But...
Joe: Too right you don't.
Gerry: ...but she's different, isn't she, Ciaran? She's different from other people. From, you know, normal people.
Ciaran: She's the love of my life.
Joe: Well, you're not the love of hers.
Gerry: OK, thank you, Joe.

Joe: I could have told you that years ago and I'm not psychic!

Quote from Episode Five

Gerry: It was him! The mural on our house, the spray paint... It was Emmett. I can prove it.
Mary: Sly wee bastard.
Joe: You bloody tout!
Sarah: Where is Emmett?
Orla: There he is.
[As they all look outside, Emmett is holding Jim's tent and a backpack in his hands as he watches a man pull a coat out of his car boot.]
Mary: Is that Jim's tent? [James looks back and sighs]
Sarah: What's he doing?
[Emmett takes a running jump into the man's car boot as he starts to drive away]
Joe: I told you to look after that tent.
Gerry: No, you didn't, you told him to look after it!
Joe: Ah, blame the wain, big man! Jesus... Jim's second best tent. How am I going to break it to him?

Gerry: OK, then.

Sarah: That close?
Mary: I'll get the holy water.
Joe: Sarah, buzz Michelle's mother there, tell her we need our wains back.
Sarah: I will surely, Daddy.
Joe: Then we'll barricade the front door, and if worst comes to worst, Jim across the road lent me his tranquiliser gun.
