Young Frank
- Angela McCourt: [Showing Oliver a painting of Jesus] That's the baby Jesus. And if you ever need anything, you should pray to him.
- Young Malachy: [Whispered to Frankie] Could you tell Jesus that we're hungry?
- Young Frank: Shut up!
- [the twins are crying]
- Young Malachy: Look at my bum!
- Young Frank: Stop showing your bum!
- Young Malachy: I was just trying to make them laugh!
- Young Frank: It's the twins. Their arses are shitty.
- Delia: It's a mouth like a sewer you have. No wonder. With a father from the north of Ireland with his funny manner and his Protestant ways. You could go to hell saying a thing like that.
- Young Frank: I listened to dirty things about girls from the lanes - who don't care what they do because they - because they've already done it with their brothers.
- Grandma Sheehan: Will you look at that mop? It won't lie down. You didn't get this hair from our side of the family. This is North of Ireland hair you got from your father. It's like - like what you'd see on a Presbyterian.
- [spits on Frank's hair]
- Young Frank: Will you stop spitting on me?
- Grandma Sheehan: A little spit won't kill you. If your mother had married a proper, decent Limerick man, you wouldn't have stand-up, North of Ireland, Protestant hair.
- Young Frank: Mam, can I go now and make the Collection? I want to go to the Lyric to see James Cagney.
