Quotes 

• Flint McCullough : Charlie, I'm curious about one thing.

  Charlie Wooster : What's that?

  Flint McCullough : What do you have that's worth stealing?

  Charlie Wooster : Well, ah. Them imitation pearl cufflinks of mine. You've seen 'em.

  Flint McCullough : How long is it since you've had a dress shirt and a suit on?

  Charlie Wooster : Ah, I don't rightly remember.

  Flint McCullough : Then what good are your cufflinks to yer?

  Charlie Wooster : It's the sentimental value, that's what it is. They was given to me by a pretty widow back in St Louis.

  Flint McCullough : Well, you didn't tell me about that. Were you kinda sweet on her?

  Charlie Wooster : Nah, it wasn't like that at all. She ran a boarding house and you know how I like to eat. Ha ha.

• Michael McDermott : And a grand place it was. None of those kinglovers allowed inside neither. I tell you one thing. It was the very place that they planned the Ash Wednesday bombings. Eddie Brogan's lads. I was there myself.

  Ethan Carney : And I suppose you led the whole blithey thing.

  Michael McDermott : Well, I done my share, but I had committments at the very time.

  Ethan Carney : Ah, stop whistling up my sleeve, will ya.

  Michael McDermott : I'll fight the man that says

  [he grabs Carney by the lapels of his jacket] 

  Flint McCullough : HOLD ON, hold on. The last time I was down here the two of you were about to stage a donnybrooke.

• Flint McCullough : What're you doing, Charlie?

  Charlie Wooster : Oh, I'm just trying to figure out some way to lock up this box of mine. With all this stealing that going on around this wagon train, I figure it's better to bandage yourself up before you get bit. Hah.

• Michael McDermott : An heirloom? I know the very ring. If it's worth sixpence, then I'm a millionaire.

  Ethan Carney : I've a right to have my own property back, don't I?

  Michael McDermott : It probably fell off the backend of a tinker's wagon. That's about the worth of it.

  Ethan Carney : What about you, are you one of the Lords of London?

  Flint McCullough : ALL RIGHT, all right. Let me out of here before the shillelaghs start flying.

• Flint McCullough : That's the trouble with you Irish. If you didn't spend so much time fighting each other, you might win one of these rebellions you're always having.

• Charlie Wooster : [He approaches Flint who is brushing on his shaving cream]  Breakfast is ready, Flint.

  Flint McCullough : Mm.

  [Charlie rolls his head around] 

  Flint McCullough : What's the matter with you?

  Charlie Wooster : Y'know, every morning I wake up with a new crick or two. By golly, that does it.

  Flint McCullough : You're a born physician, Charlie.

  Charlie Wooster : Yeah, come on, let's eat.

  Flint McCullough : Yeah.

• Flint McCullough : I guess that's up to a power a lot bigger than we are to decide. All I know is, you can't spend your life looking back.

• Flint McCullough : You know, Charlie, you're going to get wet when we do cross the Murdoch?

  Charlie Wooster : Sure. What's that got to do with it?

  Flint McCullough : Well, just thinking about the way you and water feel about each other, I'm just surprised you're in such a hurry to get there.

  Charlie Wooster : You're worse than the Major is.

  Flint McCullough : Oh?

  Charlie Wooster : Where're you going?

  Flint McCullough : I'm just going to take a walk before supper.

  Charlie Wooster : Well, don't go too far. I'm cooking something special.

  Flint McCullough : What're you cooking?

  Charlie Wooster : Mustard greens and beef ribs.

  Flint McCullough : Charlie, that's my favourite dish.

  Charlie Wooster : I know that.

  Flint McCullough : You mean, you cooked it just for me?

  Charlie Wooster : Yup.

  Flint McCullough : Charlie, I couldn't get along without you

  [He wanders off, a happy man] 

  Charlie Wooster : [Chuckling to himself]  He doesn't know, I like 'em too.

• Flint McCullough : About time you trimmed that bristle of yours.

  Charlie Wooster : Oh, I'm just shaping it up a bit, is all. Say, that's a pretty song, ain't it?

  Flint McCullough : Yeah.

  Charlie Wooster : Sure tickles me the way them Irish people always singing.

  Flint McCullough : They can do a lot more besides sing.

  Charlie Wooster : Yeah. What's you mean by that?

  Flint McCullough : Oh, I don't know. I just got a feeling there's trouble brewing down there.

  Charlie Wooster : I wouldn't worry about it, son. If they ain't squabbling among themselves, they're singing or doing something. It's just their nature, you know, just a lot of big talk. All Irish are that way, huh.

  Flint McCullough : I suppose you're right, Charlie. I guess, I've just got a big imagination, huh?

  Charlie Wooster : Maybe.
