Eilis : [going to the beach with Jim, Nancy, and George] I'd forgotten.
Nancy : What?
Eilis : This.
Jim Farrell : You have beaches in Brooklyn.
Eilis : Yes, but they're just very crowded.
Jim Farrell : There'll probably be quite a few walkers along here later.
Eilis : Yes. It's still not the same.
Jim Farrell : I'm sure it's not. We don't really know anything of the rest of the world. We must seem very backward to you now.
Eilis : Of course not. You seem calm and civilized and charming.
-
Nancy : [watching Eilis change into her bathing suit] Is that an American trick?
Eilis : Yes. It's a good one, isn't it?
Nancy : It's depressing, though, that we don't think of things like that, isn't it? I mean, how long have they known about it? A hundred years, probably.
Jim Farrell : I don't think they had bathing suits like that a hundred years ago. We still don't have them now.

Jim Farrell : We could try the Connaught Hotel bar. There may be a few of the fellas from the rugby club there.
George Sheridan : Okay.
Eilis : Do you have to be with other fellas from the rugby club all the time?
Jim Farrell : No. Uh, but Nancy told us we wouldn't be allowed to talk to you 'cause you have too much to say to each other, so we're just looking for company.
Eilis : Oh, well.
George Sheridan : Do you not like the fellas from the rugby club, Eilis?
Eilis : I don't particularly, George. When I first went to America, I missed every single thing about Enniscorthy except one.
Jim Farrell : We're not all the same.
Eilis : You all look the same. It's the blazer and the hair oil.

Eilis : Oh, Bartocci's? Well, it sells lovely things. But I can't afford many of them and I don't like the work, so...
Jim Farrell : What would you like to do?
Eilis : I want to do what Rose did. I want to work in an office and deal with numbers.
Jim Farrell : Well, you should call in at Davis's. They haven't managed to replace Rose, you know.
Eilis : I'll be going back to New York straight after the wedding.
Jim Farrell : But you might want to earn a little money in the meantime. I'm sure they'd be glad to have you.
George Sheridan : But you just want her to stay.
Jim Farrell : I'm only thinking of Eilis.
George Sheridan : Do you hear that, Eilis? He's only thinking of you.
