• Major McGlusky : Look here, O'Leary, we *must* get this straight.

  Jasper O'Leary : All right. Once and for all, I cannot accept responsibility for the deathbed ramblings of an aged lunatic.

  Major McGlusky : Lunatic? General? Sanest man I ever met!

  Jasper O'Leary : An 82 year-old man with one eye who tries to jump a 10-foot wall on a 20 year-old horse - - "sane"?

  Major McGlusky : Ooh, well, he was mad to try it, but he was *not* insane!

  Jasper O'Leary : I'm sorry, I've not lived long enough in Ireland to appreciate the logic of that remark.

• Serena McGlusky : Well, you're broke, and I've only got that three and four pence my husband left me. What are we going to live on?

  Jasper O'Leary : I'll think of someone.

• Thady O'Heggarty : [drunk, in bumping into Jasper on the crowded dance floor during the party]  Excuse me.

  Jasper O'Leary : Why aren't you behind the bar?

  Thady O'Heggarty : A note for Dr. Flynn. There's a message to say Mrs. Parnell is much better, and he needn't call in...

  Thady O'Heggarty : [hiccuping mid-sentence due to being drunk]  ... until the morning.

  Jasper O'Leary : I'll take it. You get back to work.

  Thady O'Heggarty : Certainly. I could do with another.
