- Conor: You were trying to impress a girl. And I didn't say *beat* him, I said *best* him.
- Fergus: You wanted me to beat him. I could see it in your eyes.

- Fergus: He called me a cretin.
- Conor: He was right.
- Fergus: Nobody calls me a cretin. I am not a cretin.

- Conor: [imitating Fergus] A very good heart.
- Fergus: I'm just taking your advice.
- Conor: What advice?
- Fergus: About having a woman?
- Conor: Her?

- Conor: You're old enough to be her father.
- Fergus: Women like a man with a little wear and tear on him.
- Conor: [running his eyes up and down Fergus's body] Up to a point.
