Joey 'The Lips' Fagan
[to Dean]

Are you doing what I told you? Are you thinking of that reed as a woman's nipple?

Steve Clifford
[In the confessional]

And there's these three girls with the band, I've had lustful thoughts about all of them.

And you... George Michael... you ever call me a ****in' eejit again, you'll go home with the drumsticks stuck up your hole... the one you don't sing out of.

That'll be the day.

I'm tellin' ya it's coming, so keep your Vaseline handy.

If I'm gonna front this band, I like the sound of "Deco."

"Deco the bus conductor." Is that "top-Deco" or bottom-Deco"?

Imelda
[about Deco]

He eats like a pig.

Bernie

He's such a prick.

Hasn't got the voice of a pig though. Joey says it belongs to God.

God should ask for it back.

Hi Imelda, You're Looking Deadly.

Imelda

What are you doing here Jimmy Rabbitte?

Jimmy Rabbite

Friend in the band.

Imelda

You sure not a friend of my sister's?

From what i heard, the fella she's marrying hardly knows her.

Imelda

Cheeky Bastard.

I suppose you'll be next?

Imelda

Why me, I'm not bleedin pregnant.

What do you call yourselves?

"And And And."

"And And ****in' And?"

Well, Ray's thinking of putting an exclamation mark after the second "and." Says it'd look deadly on the posters.

Psshh...

Outspan Foster

You don't like it? You think it should go at the end?

I think it should go up his arse.

Outspan Foster

Well, we're not married to it.

What do you play?

Failed Drug Buyer

I used to play football in school.

I mean what instrument.

Failed Drug Buyer

I don't.

Then what are you doing here?

Failed Drug Buyer

Well, the line was so long I thought you were selling drugs.

Who're you, then?

Joey

Are you the one startin' the band?

Joey

The name's Joseph Fagin. Joey "The Lips" Fagin.

[sarcastically]

And I'm Jimmy "The Bollocks" Rabbitte

Joey

I get mine from my horn playing. How'd you get yours?

Don't get snotty with me.

Joey

I get snotty with no man.
