Da Gerry Quote #58
Quote from Da Gerry in The Agreement
Colm: I must say now, Eammon, I hardly recognised you in your shorts.
Eammon: I'm like a new man, Colm.
Joe: Ah, they do wonders for him, don't they?
Eammon: Thanks, Joe. It's just nice to have something positive to focus on, after what happened with my roof, you know.
Colm: God, aye. I'm sure that hit you hard.
Eammon: Oh, it did, Colm. Literally.
Gerry: How are the repairs coming along, Eammon?
Eammon: Slowly but surely. Slowly but surely, Gerry.
Gerry: No word of when you'll be able to move back in?
Eammon: Not as yet, no, but as I said to the builders, I'm in no great rush. Happy enough where I am.
Gerry: Grand, so.

‘The Agreement’ Quotes
Quote from Aunt Sarah
News Anchor: [on TV] Some of the proposed reforms have proved extremely controversial, particularly the early release of paramilitary prisoners. And now, with only days until the referendum takes place, voters across the country must get to grips with this booklet, a 30-page document laying out the Good Friday Agreement in simple terms...
Joe: Simple terms! Simple terms my arse. I've read through thon introduction 30 bloody times. I'm still none the wiser.
Mary: [opens microwave] Wow.
Aunt Sarah: Well, according to Shauna Sharkey, if you vote yes, you're allowed to swing both ways.
Gerry: What's that now?
Aunt Sarah: Well, you can be Irish, you can be British, or you can be bi.
Gerry: OK, I don't think "bi" is the correct term.
Joe: Says here you can hold both passports.
Mary: Two passports? That'd come in handy. I'm forever losing mine. I think I wouldn't mind being bi, you know.
Quote from Granda Joe
Joe: Er, the release of all paramilitary prisoners, both flavours.
[Joe points to two different packets of Tayto Cheese & Onion crisps]
Gerry: Both flavours?
Mary: Loyalist and Republican.
Gerry: Of course.
Mary: This is what I don't understand. What happens to the lads when they get out? I mean, what does an ex-paramilitary do?
Joe: Gardening.
Gerry: Gardening?
Joe: Have you any better suggestions?
Quote from Granda Joe
Joe: Right, as far as I can make out, this thing has two main aims. Firstly, to stop us all killing one another.
Aunt Sarah: Fair enough.
Joe: And secondly, to allow us to govern ourselves from here, rather than England.
Aunt Sarah: From Derry?
Joe: I would say so.
Gerry: Would it not be more likely to be Belfast? Belfast is the capital.
Mary: Aye, but that was an oversight, Gerry.
