Quote from Aunt Sarah
Mary: I never slept a wink last night, you know.
Sarah: Me either.
Mary: Keyser Soze?
Sarah: Naw. I went to bed with my rollers in. Sure, it's always a nightmare.
Mary: Then why do you do it?
Sarah: I've no volume at the root, Mary. What choice do I have?
Quote from Clare
Sister Michael: Take a seat, please, ladies.
Erin: Where's Ms. De Brún?
Sister Michael: Gone. And she's not coming back.
Erin: What?
Clare: I knew it. When I woke up this morning, I had a feeling something terrible was going to happen and also that essentially deep down, I'm quite an evil person.
Michelle: It's called a hangover, Clare. You'll be grand.
Quote from Michelle
Ms. De Brún: Here's a poem about a dog. Here's another one about a dog. This one has no name on it. An English Rose Among Thorns? [James raises his hand] Yeah, I can see why you might want to remain anonymous, all right. Dog poem. Poem about a tree. This one's called Boys. "I think boys are really class. Especially the ones who have a nice ass."
Michelle: It's called a haiku.
Ms. De Brún: That's not what I would call it.
Quote from Erin
Erin: Ok. So, I'm trying not to think too much. Just to sort of let it flow through me.
Michelle: Uh, that's minging, Erin.
Erin: Here's what I have so far. "You know we belong together You and I forever and ever No matter where you are You're my guiding star."
James: Isn't that the theme tune to Home and Away?
Erin: Is it? Aw, for god's sake!
Quote from Aunt Sarah
Mary: Let's just salvage what we can.
Sarah: There's only a couple of snowballs left, Mary. It's been an absolute free-for-all.
Mary: Your mothers will be hearing about this.
Michelle: Aw, for...
Sarah: What got into you, girls? You know you don't touch the Christmas cupboard.
Quote from Aunt Sarah
Erin: We're stressed! Our new English teacher made us rip up all our poems and re-do them in one night.
Joe: Who is this blow-in?
Michelle: Here name's Ms. De Brún. She's a bit of a bitch, but, cracking eyeliner.
Sarah: Winged or smudged?
Michelle: Sort of both.
Sarah: Interesting.
Quote from Sister Michael
Sister Michael: Jesus, girls! What are you still doing here? I thought we had an intruder. And I tell you what, he'd have been a sorry boy, for I just nailed some serious moves.
Erin: We were just working on our English project, Sister.
Sister Michael: Step aside. [snaps her fingers]
[The group move to the side to reveal the statue has the head stuck on upside down]
Sister Michael: What in God's name have you done?
Quote from Jenny
Ms. De Brún: Here we go. The Flower, by Jenny Joyce.
Jenny: You're not going to read it out, are you?
Ms. De Brún: Of course. Poetry should always be read aloud. "Some flowers are tall. Some flowers are small. Some flowers barely grow at all." Ok.
Jenny: That's not the end.
Ms. De Brún: It should be.
Quote from Granda Joe
Joe: Now, this suits you, doesn't it?
Gerry: I'm sorry?
Joe: I've seen you eyeing up that Christmas cupboard. You hoked about in there long before the wains did. I'll stake my life on it.
Gerry: That is simply not true.
Quote from Erin
Erin: How could you have glued his head on upside down, Orla? He's wearing a hat, for Christ's sake!
