Quote from Granda Joe
Joe: Listen here, you.
Gerry: Yes, Joe?
Joe: I just want to say... [laughs] I think you're doing a fine job. Keep up the good work.
Quote from Ma Mary
Mary: After all was said and done, she wasn't a bad old soul. I was actually quite fond of her, you know. And I really hope she's up there now, looking down on us both, thinking... What in under Christ?!
Sarah: Aye, me too, Mary.
Mary: No, Sarah! Look! The earrings! Look at the earrings!
Sarah: God, aye. I wouldn't have put a drop on her, now, she doesn't have enough neck. She would've been better with a stud.
Mary: They're Mammy's. She's wearing Mammy's earrings!
Sarah: So they are! How did she get them?!
Mary: She probably swooped in like a vulture before Mammy drew her last breath. And now the old bitch... is getting buried in them! Has the woman no shame?!
Sarah: Earrings like that don't deserve to be buried alive! It's a sin!
Mary: She is doing this to spite us, you know.
Sarah: What should we do?
Mary: I don't know.
Sarah: We could replace them with exact replicas.
Mary: Right. We don't have exact replicas is the thing, though!
Sarah: That's true enough, Mary, true enough.
Quote from Ma Mary
Eammon: Jeepers! Were you stealing Mammy's earrings?!
Mary: Actually, I think you'll find they were our mother's earrings originally, so...
Eammon: What is wrong with you?
Sarah: We were doing her a favour, Eammon, they're not flattering.
Eammon: For God's sake, Mary. First the curse and now this?
Mary: You said there was no curse!
Eammon: I didn't want to make you angry, Mary! I mean, I'm about to bury my mother, a hex is the last thing I need.
Mary: Aw, for Jesus' sake!
Quote from Orla
Mary: Dear God...
Erin: It looks worse than it is.
Eammon: My mother was right about you people! Wild animals would have more manners!
Orla: We didn't have a plunger, Eammon.
Eammon: Get out! Get out, now!
Quote from Aunt Sarah
Joe: Not a bad sendoff in the end, I thought.
Sarah: I'm still devastated about Mammy's earrings, Mary. We were so close.
Mary: Well, they're six feet under now, so unless we dig Bridie up again...
Sarah: Maybe that's not such a bad...
Mary: It is a bad idea, Sarah. It's a very bad idea. I just want to forget the whole thing.
Quote from Granda Joe
Joe: Oh, I meant to say... I had one of these scones at the wake and, honest to God, I've never tasted anything like it. So, I bagged us up a couple.
Sarah: Lovely!
Mary: Happy days.
Gerry: Don't mind if I do.
Mary: Pass us one, there, would you, Erin?
