- Dave: You're drinking too much.
- Terri Hooley: Dave, I always drink too much. Everybody we know drinks too much.
- Dave: Well this is different. There's something...
- Terri Hooley: Something what?
- Dave: You're carrying on like one of Led Zeppelin!
- Terri Hooley: [appalled silence] That's low.
- Terri Hooley: When I look out at youse all gathered here, it confirms something I've always felt. When it comes to punk: New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the Reason!
- Terri Hooley: Tell you another thing I hate, that word "communities". Whenever anybody in Northern Ireland says "community", what they're really saying is "side".
- Mavis: [Hooley has taken a beating] That must've been some door. What was it, a car ferry? Don't suppose there's any point in me mentioning the police?
- Terri Hooley: They'd probably wanna buy the door a drink.
