Quote from Clare

Erin: It's just, it's pink, white and purple, Dennis.
Dennis: So?
Erin: Well, it should be red, white and blue.
Dennis: Says who?
Michelle: The rest of the world.
Clare: There's also quite a few stars missing.
Dennis: No there's not.
Clare: There's only 30 stars here, I mean, there should be 50, just because the stars represent states, so...
Dennis: Some of them left.
Erin: Some states left?
Dennis: That's right.

Quote from Aunt Sarah

Sarah: We heard about your wee divorce. Nightmare.
Cathy Maguire: Yeah, it was a difficult decision, but Paul, my ex, well, he just became so controlling.
Mary: Jesus. Really?
Cathy Maguire: He was unbearable towards the end, it was always, "Oh, Cathy, why did you stay out all night?" Or, "Who was that man you were having dinner with, Cathy?" He was very insecure.
Mary: Wonder why.
Cathy Maguire: I mean, James' father was the same. I just seem to attract the possessive, jealous types. I don't know what it is.
Sarah: The eyebrows.

Sarah: Here before you head, I got you a couple of American flags. They're on the sideboard there.

Jim: It is, Gerry, aye.
Gerry: Fantastic.
