Quotes

Father Ted

Edit
  • Father Jack Hackett: Drink! Feck! Arse! Girls!
  • Father Ted: It's not as if everyone's going to go off and join some mad religious cult just because we go off for a picnic for a couple of hours.
  • Father Dougal: God, Ted, I heard about those cults. Everyone dressing in black and saying our Lord's gonna come back and judge us all!
  • Father Ted: No... No, Dougal, that's us. That's Catholicism.
  • Father Dougal: Hello Len.
  • Bishop Brennan: Don't call me Len, you little prick. I'm a bishop!
  • Father Dougal: Oh right. Well done.
  • [Ted answers the phone]
  • Bishop Brennan: Crilly, It's me.
  • Father Ted: Oh Feck!
  • Bishop Brennan: What?
  • Father Ted: [in French accent] Who ees thees? Zere is no Creely 'ere.
  • [Ted hangs up]
  • Father Ted: God almighty! I just said "feck" to Bishop Brennan!
  • Father Dougal: Oho! He won't like that!
  • Father Ted: It might be alright though. I disguised my voice so he'd think he dialled the wrong number.
  • [phone rings, Ted picks it up]
  • Father Ted: Ah, Bishop Brennan. I think you must have got the wrong number when you called there.
  • Father Jack Hackett: Chair! Curtains! Floor! Gobshite!
  • [Dougal has named his pet rabbit Father Jack Hackett]
  • Father Ted: No, Dougal, this is too confusing, you'll have to pick a new name.
  • Father Dougal: Ah, could we not call Jack something else?
  • Father Ted: Oh, great, what'll we call him? Flipper! Flipper the Priest!
  • Father Jack Hackett: Yes?
  • Mrs Doyle: There's always time for a nice cup of tea. Sure, didn't the Lord himself pause for a nice cup of tea before giving himself up for the world.
  • Father Ted: No, he didn't, Mrs Doyle!
  • Mrs Doyle: Well, whatever the equivalent they had for tea in those days, cake or something. And speaking of cake, I have cake!
  • [holds up a cupcake]
  • Father Ted: No, thanks, Mrs Doyle.
  • Mrs Doyle: Are you sure, Father? There's cocaine in it!
  • Father Ted: WHAT?
  • Mrs Doyle: Oh, no, not cocaine. God, what am I on about. No, what d'you call them. Raisins.
  • Father Jack Hackett: That would be an ecumenical matter!
  • Father Ted: Fascists dress in black and go around telling people what to do, whereas priests... more drink!
  • Father Ted: What was that sermon about?
  • Father Dougal: Sorry Ted, I was concentrating too hard on looking holy.
  • Father Ted: That's the great thing about Catholicism - it's very vague and no-one knows what its really all about.
  • Father Jack Hackett: [all sobered up] Priests? Don't tell me I'm still on that Fecking Island!
  • Eoin McLove: Get away from me! I don't want to catch the menopause!
  • [Mrs. Doyle rolls Father Jack into the room on his wheelchair. Father Jack sees nuns in the room]
  • Father Jack Hackett: Nuns! Nuns! Reverse!
  • Father Ted: Dougal, is there anything on your mind?
  • [pause]
  • Father Ted: Let me rephrase that...
  • Tarot Reader: [Father Ted turns over a third "Death" card] This is really weird! There's only supposed to be one in each pack!
  • Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These
  • [he points to some plastic cows on the table]
  • Father Ted: are small, but those
  • [pointing at some cows out of the window]
  • Father Ted: are far away... Small, far away
  • [Dougal shakes his head in confusion]
  • Father Ted: Ah forget it...
  • [Tom has just robbed the local post office]
  • Father Ted: Are you up to your old tricks, Tom?
  • Tom: No, Father. It's my money. I just didn't want to fill out the forms.
  • Father Dougal: Well, Ted, as I said last time, it won't happen again.
  • Father Ted: That money was just resting in my account!
  • Father Dougal: I don't believe in organized religion
  • Father Ted: You won't be able to come with me... when I go into space. I'm going to be the first priest in space.
  • Father Dougal: God Ted, first America then space, what next?
  • Mrs Doyle: You'll have some tea... are you sure you don't want any? Aw go on, you'll have some. Go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on GO ON!
  • Father Ted: That's right, Dougal. You see, ordinary shops sell what look like black socks, but if you look closely, you'll see that they're very, very, very, very, very, very, very dark blue.
  • Father Dougal: That's true. I thought my Uncle Tommy was wearing black socks, but when I looked at them closely, they were just very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very dark blue.
  • Father Ted: Never buy black socks from a normal shop.
  • [Whispers to Dougal]
  • Father Ted: They shaft you every time!
  • [Dougal looks worried]
  • Father Ted: How long has Father Jack been living in there?
  • Father Dougal: Uh, he started just a few days after you left.
  • Father Ted: Maybe he's agoraphobic?
  • Father Dougal: Jack scared of fighting? I don't think so Ted.
  • Father Dougal: Next you're going to tell us you're Santa.
  • Father Ted: No Dougal. I'm the opposite of Santa.
  • Father Dougal: The anti-Santa?
  • Father Ted: Come on, Dougal, switch the television off. Chewing gum for the eyes!
  • Father Dougal: No thanks, Ted!
  • Father Jack Hackett: [after Bishop Brennan asks how he is] Arsebiscuits!
  • Father Niall Haverty: [shocked] How dare you say that to His Grace, you must apologize immediately!
  • Father Jack Hackett: [Father Ted squirms, as Father Jack sits up and puts his hands on his front like a rabbit, and in a rabbit-like voice] I'm... so... sooo... sorry.
  • [then nibbles like a rabbit]
  • Father Ted: [to Mrs. Doyle] Now that's sarcasm.
  • [Father Jack has sobered up and is remembering words. He sees Sister Assumpta]
  • Father Jack Hackett: Nan!
  • Father Ted: No, Father this is a nun.
  • Father Jack Hackett: [Terrified] Nun!
  • [Runs out the window]
  • Father Ted: [Waves] Bye, Father!
  • [to Assumpta]
  • Father Ted: He's just out for his walk
  • Father Jack Hackett: I'm a happy camper!
  • Father Ted: [in the department store] Where did you manage to stick Jack in the end?
  • Father Dougal: Ah, they've got this great place, Ted where you can put people who don't want to go shopping. They can just stay there and have a laugh.
  • Father Ted: Really? Never heard of that. Were there other people there?
  • Father Dougal: Ah, loads of people, Ted. He'll be fine.
  • [cut to Jack, in the creche, smoking a cigarette and surrounded by children playing]
  • Father Ted: Meals are at eleven, one, half-two, three, five, seven, and nine, and if you want a quick snack, you can just ask Mrs. Doyle there.
  • Father Ted: Ah, it's nothing. Just went mad for a second, there.
  • Father Dougal: Ted, I'm going mad.
  • Mrs. Doyle's Friend: I swear I won't tell anyone, and if I do may I be struck down by every disease a middle-aged woman can get, which as you and I know is a hell of a lot of diseases.
  • Bishop: [after a two-minute conversation with Dougal] It's all nonsense, isn't it?
  • Henry Sellars: Ah, you Priests! Sanctimonious bastards! Made my life a misery!
  • Father Ted: He's back from the dead. Like that fellow... ET.
  • Father Ted: The way I feel now I could convert gays!
  • Father Dougal: Ahh, lets see, I'll have the Hindu Curry, Steak and Chips, and a glass of Coke thanks.
  • Policeman: Do you know where you are? You're in a police station.
  • Father Dougal: Oh right. Well, in that case, I'll just have the Satay Chicken
  • [to his pet rabbit]
  • Father Dougal: Come on, Sampras.
  • Father Ted: What did you call him?
  • Father Dougal: Sampras, like Pete Sampras.
  • Father Ted: Why?
  • Father Dougal: Well... you know, rabbits, tennis, you know that whole connection there.
  • Father Dougal: I know! Well lure them into a giant bingo game!
  • Father Ted: And how are we going to do that?
  • Father Dougal: We'll print up some bingo cards on our printing press and... oh.
  • Father Ted: Yes, it's the lack of a printing press that lets us down there. Or bingo balls. Or a PA system. Or in fact, any bingo paraphernalia at all.
  • Father Dougal: Damn. So near, yet so far.
  • Father Ted: It's fabulous being a priest - think of all that comfort you bring to the sick and dying. They love it, they can't get enough of it!
  • Father Jack Hackett: Nan?
  • Father Ted: No, Jack, Nun.
  • Father Jack Hackett: Nun! Arrrggghhhh!
  • Father Ted: Come on, Divorce Referendum!
  • Father Ted: No, no, no, no. Father Nolan was in the gas explosion. It punched a hole in his chest the size of a football. When they found him afterwards, they were only able to identify him by his dental records.
  • Father Dougal: Poor Father Nolan!
  • Father Ted: Yes, he's very low at the moment.
  • Father Dougal: Knock-knock, Ted.
  • Father Ted: Who's there?
  • Father Dougal: Father Dougal McGuire.
  • Father Ted: Good night, Dougal.
  • Eoin McLove: I have no willy.
  • Father Ted: [slideshow] The Chinese. A grand bunch of lads.
  • Father Dougal: Ah, what are you after, Ted?
  • Father Ted: I'm not after anything. It's not unknown for Priests to pray once in a while.
