Angela's Ashes (film)

"[Ship is sailing out of New York City] We must've been the only Irish family to be saying good bye to the statue of liberty rather than hello."

"If I were in America, I could say "I love you, dad", the way they do in the films. But in Limerick they'd laugh at you. In Limerick you are only allowed to say you love God, and babies, and horses that win. Anything else is softness in the head."

"In the name of the father, the son and the holy toast."

"[Commenting on traditional Irish dancing] If my mates saw me making a pure eejit out of myself at the Irish dancing, I'd be disgrace forever. I want to be Fred Astaire. Irish dancers look like they have steel rods stuck up their arses."

"[[Frank is lying in bed recovering from fever in hospital and a doctor sitting near him has farted] And then Dr. Campbell came in and held my hand. It was then that I knew I was going to get better because a doctor would never fart in the presence of a dying boy."

"Also, Mikey is the expert in the lane on girls' bodies... and dirty things in general."

"[Frank is in bed watching his mother, who is also watching him as she starts stepping up the stairs in Laman Griffin's residence] I thought mam would come and kiss me good night, to say thank you for sticking up for her. But no, she went to him."

"Everyone I know and half the poor of Limerick are here. They all owed the old bitch money. Well, not anymore. [Throws ledger book into the River Shannon]"

"[Frank throws up his communion breakfast] I've got God in me backyard!"

"We all miss Malachy. He's, uh, miss him? He... He's gone to join the army band! Playing the bugle. The bugle? Can you imagine that, playin' the bugle? Playin' the fool, more like."

"[At dancing lessons] Would you stop the frowning, McCourt?! You've a face on you like a pound of tripe!"

"[Puts a wafer on Frank's tongue] Will you stop your clucking and get back to your seat?! Corpus Christi."

"[To Angela] Give me a fag, woman. I'm telling you, that boy is a little shite!"
