  • Brendan: You can't find out everything from books, you know.

    Aidan: I think I read that once.

  • Aisling: [interrupting him] Is this your cat?

    [Brendan screams and falls off rock]

    Aisling: *Well?*

    [Aisling gives Pangur Ban a dubious look]

    Aisling: What are you doing in my forest? You've come to spoil it, haven't you?

    Brendan: Uh...

    Aisling: [accusingly] You were probably sent here by your family to get food, weren't you? Well. You can go right back where you came from. If you don't, I'll make the wolves get you. *Rawr!*

    Brendan: No! uh, I didn't mean to. Look, I'm sorry alright? I'm not here to get food for my family. I'm here to get things to make ink. I don't have a family, and we have food in Kells. So I wouldn't come here for it anyway. I was just... a bit lost.

    Aisling: You have no family?

    Brendan: Uh, no.

    Aisling: No mother?

    [Brendan looks down. Aisling bows her head]

    Aisling: I'm alone too.

    Brendan: Unless young fools want to listen.

    [Brendan glares at her]

  • Brendan: [Aishling saves Brendan by pushing a boulder; closing out the cave entrance of Crom Curach] Aisling!

    [Brendan picks up the limp Aisling]

    [Haggard-looking; fearful whisper]

    Aisling: *CROM.*

  • Dian Fossey: May I come in?

    [enters and catches Brendan and Kim in bed together]

    Dian Fossey: Oh, god! This is not a summer camp! If you want to crawl in and out of each other's beds, you can do it somewhere else! All right? You're fired!

    Brendan: You can't fire us! We work for the Leaky Foundation, not you!

    Dian Fossey: Get off my mountain!

    [to everyone else]

    Dian Fossey: What are you staring at?

  • Brendan: [to Conor] Do you see that guitar? I used to be able to play that guitar well. I used to ride hot girls. I could run 200 meters faster than anybody in my school. You're the youngest. You get to follow the path that I macheted through the jungle that is our mad family. I was alone with them for six years. You think they're crazy now? Think about what they were like when they were in their late 20s. Two Catholics in a rented flat with a screaming baby who just got married because they wanted to have sex. They didn't even love each other. I was in the middle of that, alone! And then you came along, thank God! And you followed the path that I cut for us. Untouched. You just moved in my jet stream. And people laugh at me, Conor. The stoner, the college dropout. And they praise you, which is fine! But once, I was a fucking jet engine!

  • Brendan: Rock and roll is a risk. You risk being ridiculed.

  • Brendan: Did the Sex Pistols know how to play? You don't need to know how to play. Who are you, Steely Dan? You need to learn how NOT to play, Conor. That's the trick. That's rock and roll. And THAT... takes practice.

  • Brendan: Look at her. She races home every evening just to catch that last little bit of sun, have a cigarette and read her papers. She's always talking about going on a holiday to Spain, but he never takes her. That's all she gets. Then that tall tree blocks it, and she comes in. I often wonder what she's thinking about.

  • Conor: I think she's this amazing human being. Never seen anyone like her. The way she talks and looks. She wears these sunglasses, and when she takes them off, her eyes... are like the clouds clearing to let pass the moon.

    Brendan: Ffuuh...

    Conor: Sometimes I just wanna cry lookin' at her.

  • Brendan: How d'you know he's her boyfriend anyway?

    Conor: It seemed like it. Pulled off in his car, music blaring. He's pretty cool.

    Brendan: What was he listening to?

    Conor: Genesis.

    Brendan: He will not be a problem.

    Conor: Really?

    Brendan: Trust me. No woman can truly love a man who listens to Phil Collins.

  • Brendan: This is life, Conor. Drive it like you stole it.

  • Brendan: You want to have actual sexual intercourse, right?

    Conor: Yeah. What, what?

    Brendan: The girl. It's all about the girl, isn't it?

    Conor: Yeah, the girl, yeah.

    Brendan: And you're gonna use somebody else's art to get her? Are you kidding?

  • Robert: Do you know what the Christian Brothers' motto is? "Viriliter age." Do you know what that means?

    Brendan: "Let's rape our students?"

    Robert: No, Brendan, it doesn't. It means "act manly."

  • Brendan: Think big, Conor. This is just a means to an end. And she looks amazing. She's got to be in all the videos.

    Conor: Yeah?

    Brendan: Oh, yeah. She's world class. Without her, you're just a bunch of gay-looking kids down an alleyway.

  • Brendan: Cory... I'm gay.

    Cory: I know.

    Brendan: What?

    Cory: You're gay.

    Brendan: How do you know I'm gay? You don't know I'm gay.

    Cory: Hm?

    Brendan: How long have you known I'm gay?

    Cory: Well... we met, what, freshman year at college, so...

    Brendan: So, why didn't you tell me?

    Cory: Why didn't I tell YOU your sexual orientation?

  • Cynthia: We have known you were gay for ages.

    Brendan: Why-why wouldn't you tell me?

    Cynthia: Why didn't WE tell YOU your sexual orientation?

  • Gabbi: Um, Cory says that you're having some trouble with gayness.

    Brendan: And who's little boy are you?

  • Cory: She f*cking dumped me man!

    Brendan: You guys weren't even together.

    Cory: No! But she did it anyway, man! And I didn't even know she could do it until she did it.

  • Brendan: Hey, this is Los Angeles. The line between dreams and reality is... thinner here.

  • Cory: Ohh, God, it's so boring back home, man. Yeah, you don't even know, man. Like I don't do anything anymore. Like nothing. I packed my bags to move out of my place, like, two years ago, and-and-and I never moved. I never unpacked my bags, man. I've just been... I'm just living out of bags.

    Brendan: Are YOU okay?

  • Brendan: You're a shitty friend.

  • Brendan: An adult? Fuck that shit! Okay, we're in Los Angeles!

  • Brendan: I love Dr. Seuss. He's like Shakespeare. Y'know, I only understand like 30 percent of it, but the 30 percent that I do understand is just unbelievably beautiful.

  • Brendan: Look, just... save it, all right? You're one lucky piece of shit.

  • Brendan: Fridge is dead.

    Claudel: Just as I was starting to like superheroes.

  • C-Thru: Hey, Brendan. You think you'll ever forgive me?

    Brendan: [sighs] Sure, over my dead body.

  • Brendan: As they say, if you can't fall in love with your best friend, who can you fall in love with?

    Bob: Who said that?

    Brendan: Me.

  • Brendan: Did you mean what you said?

    Kate: What did I say?

  • [first lines]

    Brendan: [as narrator] Yes, this is Sunset Boulevard. Sunset Boulevard, Dublin, Ireland. You see the body of a young man lying in a pool. Nobody important, just a schoolteacher with a couple of Bs and Cs to his credit. The poor dope. He always wanted a pool. Well, in the end he got himself a pool, only the price turned out to be a little high. Let's go back about six months and find the day it all started.

  • Brendan: To be honest, I did it to impress a woman.

    Headmaster: That's what they're there for.

  • Trudy: [Brendan is pulling stolen items out of his hat] How do I know you didn't pay for them?

    Brendan: One receipt of purchased good, itemised. Look.
