Fergus : Dil, this is Jude.
Dil : Are you following me?
Jude : Yeah! Just checking. Is he being nice to you, Dil?
Dil : Ever so nice, aren't you, Jimmy?
Jude : That's good. I'm glad. Young love, as they say?
Dil : Absolutely. The younger the better. Doesn't come YOUR way much, I suppose.
Jude : Don't go looking for it, Dil.
Dil : Well, maybe you'll get lucky... someday.
Jude : Bit heavy on the powder, isn't she?

Dil : What am I supposed to call you then, Jimmy?
Fergus : Fergus.
Dil : Fergus... Fergus. My love. Light of my life.
Fergus : Please, Dil.
Dil : Can't help it. You're doing time for me. No greater love as the man says. I wish you'd tell me why.
Fergus : As a man said, it's in my nature.
Dil : What's that supposed to mean?
Fergus : Well... there's this scorpion, you see, and he wants to go across a river. Well, he can't swim so he goes to this frog, who naturally enough can swim. And he says,
[imitating the scorpion's voice]
Fergus : "Excuse me, Mr. Froggy. I want to go across the river."
[continues narrating]
Fergus : So the frog accepts the idea. The scorpion hops on the frog's back. Suddenly, the frog: "Aah!" He feels this sting! "You stung me! Why did you go and do that?" The scorpion looks at him and says, "I can't help it, it's in my nature".

Dave : Cunt.
Fergus : [foot on Dave's neck] What was that?
Dil : They all get the wrong idea.
Dave : Cunt. Scrag-eyed dyke cunt.
Dil : Charming.
Fergus : What'll I do?
Dil : Break his neck. No, don't. He's going to take his foot off slowly, David. Then you're to go home, like a good boy. You hear me?
Dave : Cunt.

Dil : Funny the way things go. Don't you find that, Jimmy? Never the way you expected.
