Da Gerry Quote #56

Quote from Da Gerry in The Agreement

Mary: Would you like a bowl of porridge, Eammon? I'm microwaving them.
Eammon: I would surely. Now, Gerry, I had a bit of bother with the bathroom door. It was sticking there.
Gerry: No worries, Eammon. I'll see to it later.
Eammon: Great stuff. [brings the door into the living room] I'll just leave it here then. Right, I'd better pop up and pull on me so. [exits]
Gerry: What in the name...?
Mary: Don't start, Gerry.
Gerry: When is he leaving?
Mary: Have a bit of sympathy. The fella's roof fell in.
Gerry: Yeah, well, I'm starting to think he might have had a hand in that.
Mary: He's our cousin! We can't just throw him out on the street.
Aunt Sarah: Especially not since Mary kill his mother.
Mary: I did not kill his mother!
Gerry: I'm at the end of me rope! The man is a liability.
Mary: He's not that bad, love. [crashing sound]
Eammon: [o.s.] Gerry! I think you'd better come up and take a look at this. [microwave pings]
Joe: Well?!
Gerry: Be right with you, Eammon!

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.
