Quotes 

• Garda Lisa Nolan : You're drunk.

  Garda Ciarán O'Shea : No, I'm not. No.

  Garda Lisa Nolan : Is that right?

  [Ciarán chuckles] 

  Garda Lisa Nolan : Say the alphabet backwards for me.

  Garda Ciarán O'Shea : Em... Zed... Et cetera.

  Garda Lisa Nolan : I hope you're not driving.

  Garda Ciarán O'Shea : No. I'm taking Johnny's horse. Yah.

  Garda Lisa Nolan : You're going to ride a horse while intoxicated?

  Garda Ciarán O'Shea : Yeah, so? The horse is sober.

• Garda Ciarán O'Shea : What killed him, Jim?

  Dr. Jim Gleeson : The fact that he's just a head. You bring me someone with a head cold or a headache and I could do something, but you bring me just a head and you're taking the piss. Jesus, they could bury him in a shoe box.

  Garda Lisa Nolan : Doctor, we need to know.

  Dr. Jim Gleeson : He was mauled in some way by some... animal or... something. I dunno. A tiger?

• Garda Lisa Nolan : Looks like it should be nice out.

  Una Maher : Ah, there's a storm coming.

  Garda Lisa Nolan : Oh? Really?

  Una Maher : Mmm.

  Garda Lisa Nolan : Are the gulls flying low or something?

  Una Maher : No, it was on the telly.

  [gestures to TV weather forecast] 

• Garda Lisa Nolan : What is that thing?

  Dr. Adam Smith : I haven't a clue. I've never seen anything like it before. It's a completely foreign species. I can't even begin to originate or class it.

  Paddy Barrett : A "grabber."

• Garda Lisa Nolan : Get away from him, you cuuuuuunt!

• Una Maher : You're throwing a party?

  Garda Ciarán O'Shea : Yeah.

  Una Maher : Why?

  Garda Ciarán O'Shea : Who needs a reason to have a laugh, ha-ha-ha?

  Garda Lisa Nolan : [slurring]  It's a welcome party for me.

  Una Maher : Welcome party? But you're leaving in a fortnight.

  Garda Lisa Nolan : So it's a goodbye party, whatever.

  Una Maher : You only just got here.

  Garda Lisa Nolan : [slurring, to O'Shea]  What's her problem?

• Garda Lisa Nolan : Smith said it needs water, right?

  Garda Ciarán O'Shea : Pfff... says a lot of things.

  Paddy Barrett : Mostly bollocks.

  Garda Lisa Nolan : Whatever. But if it needs water to survive, how could it be movin' about on dry land?

  Paddy Barrett : It was rainin'. When it's rainin', there's no such thing as dry land.

• Garda Lisa Nolan : It's always the quiet places where the mad shit happens.

• Garda Lisa Nolan : [to the main grabber as it screeches at her]  Ah... Shut Your Hole
