Rev. Michael Hill Quotes in The North Avenue Irregulars (1979)

Rev. Michael Hill: [over $1,206 of the church] I want that money back, and if I don't get it, I will go straight to the police.

Harry the Hat: Now we don't want any trouble.

Sam the Tailor: Hold it! Your pants.

Rev. Michael Hill: What?

Sam the Tailor: [points to a sign behind him and reads it out] "Pants Pressed While 'U Wait." That's part of my deal with Harry.

Rev. Michael Hill: But all I want to do is talk to him.

Sam the Tailor: No exceptions.

Rev. Michael Hill: Where is this bookie?

Mrs. Rose Rafferty: I don't know which one he used.

Rev. Michael Hill: There's more than one?

Mrs. Rose Rafferty: Lots. Carlucci's Bakery, the pet store on Friar, or the orthopedic shoe store. But I'll lay you 8-to-1 he used Harry the Hat.

Rev. Michael Hill: Harry the Hat?

Mrs. Rose Rafferty: Right.

Marvin Fogleman, T-Man: [calling over the radio from the room] Phantom Fox.

Claire: Uh, Max and I are watching Freddie Uh Two Fingers' Snooker Parlor, and uh I... expect to be murdered any minute. If that should happen, would somebody please contact Alfredo? He does my hair.

Marvin Fogleman, T-Man: Ten-four.

Mr. Delaney Rafferty: [over the radio] Five dames ain't gonna find no bank. We'll be lucky if they don't get us all killed! If you want me honest opinion, it's a wild duck chase.

Marvin Fogleman, T-Man: Who...

[grabbing the radio phone and turning to Reverand Hill]

Marvin Fogleman, T-Man: who is that?

Rev. Michael Hill: [grabs radio phone] Sounds like Delaney Rafferty. Eh, Blarney Stone... the whole idea is that they'd be less suspicious with women following them.

Mrs. Rose Rafferty: I know, I know but I can't drive, Reverand. And you'll never recognize Delaney.

Mr. Delaney Rafferty: [grabs radio phone from Rose. Delaney is dressed up as a woman] Don't use my name, I told ya. If it got out what I was doing, I'd be spending the night in the river that's what! Them guys play for keeps!

Mrs. Rose Rafferty: [running towards Reverand Hill] Reverend, what are you gonna do?

Rev. Michael Hill: Stop that bet!

Mrs. Rose Rafferty: Ohh?

Rev. Michael Hill: We'll take the bike. It's faster.

[grabs a helmet and gives it to Rose]

Rev. Michael Hill: Here, put that on.

Mrs. Rose Rafferty: [putting helmet on] Yes, sir!

Rev. Michael Hill: [getting on motorcycle] Get on, Mrs. Rafferty.

Mrs. Rose Rafferty: All right, I'm getting on.

[gets on motorcycle]

Rev. Michael Hill: [starts the engine] You all set?

Mrs. Rose Rafferty: [with a worried look on her face] I think so.

Rev. Michael Hill: [Anne is listening to the conversation while at her desk] Blarney Stone, where is he? Do you copy? Blarney Stone, have you spotted them?

[Anne knocks on door and walks in]

Rev. Michael Hill: Where are you?

Mr. Delaney Rafferty: Don't ask!

[the Rafferty's car is facing a train, bumper to bumper, on a track. The train engineer blows the train's horn]

Train Engineer: Get off the track!

Mrs. Rose Rafferty: Don't yell at me! Who do you think you are?

[the train engineer continues to blow the horn]

Mr. Delaney Rafferty: And quit blowing that horn! You're giving me a headache!

Rev. Michael Hill: [while on the phone with the fire department] Well, can't you get the cat out of the tree later? Well... a man's life is in danger!
