Quote from Clare
Geraldine: All right, Mary, Sarah, Deidre. Your girls involved in this beheading too, then?
Clare: It wasn't me, mammy!
Geraldine: Do not speak to me, Clare. In fact, don't even breathe. [Clare holds her breath]
Sister Michael: Take a seat, Mrs. Devlin.
Quote from Clare
Michelle: Creepy wee fucker, isn't he?
Clare: I would just like to just state once again for the record that I think this might be the worst idea we've ever had.
Erin: Look, do you want to help Ms. De Brún or not?
Clare: Can we not find a way to help her that doesn't involve abducting a holy statue?
Erin: We're not abducting him, Clare. We're kidnapping him.
Clare: Is that different? I don't think that's different.
Quote from Orla
Ms. De Brún: Dog poem. Dog poem. Oh, here someone's just drawn a picture of a dog. That is not bad, actually.
Orla: Thank you very much.
Quote from Michelle
Jenny: [raises hand to no response] What is it we should be doing, miss?
Ms. De Brún: "What should you be doing?" Now, there's the question. But let me ask you a better one. What is it you want to do?
Michelle: Get pished.
Jenny: I'd quite like some feedback on the poetry assignment, actually.
Michelle: Dickhead.
Quote from Michelle
Ms. De Brún: Poetry is truth. And great poetry is raw and real and messy and glorious and ugly. It is dragged from the depths of the soul. It helps us understand each other and ourselves. Do you get what I'm saying?
Erin: Yes. Yes, I think I do, actually.
Michelle: Not a baldies.
Ms. De Brún: It's not often in life you're allowed to tear up the page and start over. [rips paper] But I am gonna give you that chance. Impress me.
Quote from Ma Mary
Mary: What about this Keyser Soze fella?
Sarah: Who's Keyser Soze?
Mary: Exactly!
Quote from Orla
Erin: Can we all be quiet? Please.
Orla: What do you think, James? You've got red eyes cos I ran out of brown.
James: My eyes are green.
Orla: Now you tell me.
Quote from Ma Mary
Gerry: My money's on Alec Baldwin's brother.
Mary: It's Gabriel Byrne. I'm telling you.
Joe: The fella with the bad leg said it wasn't, Mary.
Mary: The fella with the bad leg's covering for him, Da!
Quote from Ma Mary
Mary: She ripped up your poems?
Erin: She said we weren't writing from the soul.
Mary: Well, why in under God weren't you writing from the soul?
Erin: Seriously?
Quote from Michelle
Ms. De Brún: It was difficult, so you've just given up? You might fail, so why bother trying?
Michelle: Exactly. Told you she'd understand.
