Dil:
You gonna tell me what it is?
Jude: What is it?
Dil: Do you know her, Jimmy?
Jude: Jimmy, is it? Do you know me, Jimmy?
Fergus: Dil, this is Jude.
Dil: Are you following me?
Jude: Yeah! Just checking. Is he being nice to you, Dil?
Dil: Ever so nice, aren't you, Jimmy?
Jude: That's good. I'm glad. Young love, as they say?
Dil: Absolutely. The younger the better. Doesn't come YOUR way much, I suppose.
Jude: Don't go looking for it, Dil.
Dil: Well, maybe you'll get lucky... someday.
Jude: Bit heavy on the powder, isn't she?
Dil: A girl has to have a bit of glamour.
Jude: Oh, absolutely. As long as she can keep it. Isn't that right, James?

Fergus: Well... there's this scorpion, you see, and he wants to go across a river. Well, he can't swim so he goes to this frog, who naturally enough can swim. And he says,
[imitating the scorpion's voice]
Fergus: "Excuse me, Mr. Froggy. I want to go across the river."
[continues narrating]
Fergus: So the frog accepts the idea. The scorpion hops on the frog's back. Suddenly, the frog: "Aah!" He feels this sting! "You stung me! Why did you go and do that?" The scorpion looks at him and says, "I can't help it, it's in my nature".

[Dil and Fergus are having a conversation] Do it on your own time, Pat.
Fergus: What?
Deveroux: Whatever it is she does for you.
Fergus: I consider that an insult.
Deveroux: Well consider what you like, just get the bloody tart out of here!
Fergus: [getting up angrily] You ever try picking up your teeth with broken fingers?
Deveroux: What's that supposed to mean?
Fergus: Simple question.
[pause]
Fergus: [to Dil] Come on, hon.
Dil: He didn't answer, honey.
