• [Nick and Madigan have just finished one fight and Madigan wants to start another] 

  Patrick Madigan : Shall we have another go at it?

  Nick Barkley : You show your tail on this property again and I'm sure we will.

• Major Wilson : I understand from Jarrod this man came in out of nowhere as it were.

  Nick Barkley : Came in answer to my notice.

  Major Wilson : References? Recommendations? What papers establishing that he indeed can be trusted with dynamite?

  Patrick Madigan : Haven't you heard? It's become an Irish specialty.

• Mack : Tell me, Madigan, what kind of country is that Ireland place?

  Patrick Madigan : Well, it's the land of leprechauns and the Kellys and the O'Breins and the Blarney Stone, but that's not all there is. Oh, it's a land for poets to tell about, not a fool like me. Oh, it's the smoke of peat and the slow creak of carts along the road, the Connemara ponies... Sweet land it is, though often sad.
