"Every night, before I go to sleep, when I say my prayers, I ask God if He could fix it so that when I wake up in the morning, I'm the best footballer in the world. And then I also ask another thing as well. That when I grow up .. Can I marry Katherine? Even if she loves Ronnie Boyd. But she could still see 'im. But she'd marry me. That's what I want."

"She never sees me. She's always doing her bloody homework. If she were a wee bit more stupid like me, we'd be sitting together by now."

"So, the doctor says, 'Listen, John, I've got some bad news and worse.' And John says, 'Oh, no. What's the bad news?' And he goes, 'Well, you've only got 24 hours to live.'

Yeah, it was a very effective system. And the rent man was so good about it in the end that eventually they cut him in for a wee bit, too, and everybody was happy. Except for the council, I suppose."

"Miss Lewis: Well, I'm pleased to say your times tables were a lot more impressive to hear than your test scores were to read. The whole point of these weekly tests is to monitor your progress. The best will sit directly by my desk, the seat of learning, and the rest of you will view your Sisyphean struggles from the distance you have imposed upon yourself by a lack of application."
