Ivor Carney:
It's very vulgar to talk about one's business. Only stock brokers do that, aand then merely at dinner parties.

Robbie Fay:
Don't you be dirtying that nice clean bus, now.

Alfie Byrne:
You have it lovely, Bosie. I can see myself in it, like Narcissus.

Robbie Fay:
You're at it again.

Alfie Byrne:
At what?

Robbie Fay:
That stuff you do. Big words. Poetry.

Alfie Bryne:
The only way to get rid of temptation, is to yield to it.

Alfie Byrne:
Dancing is neither modest or immodest. It's either well-done, or badly done.

Christy Ward:
Is that a quote?

Alfie Byrne:
Almost.

Alfie Byrne:
I've learned a horrible lesson.

Adele Rice:
About me.

Alfie Byrne:
About myself.

Alfie Byrne:
She is like a dove that has strayed. She is like a Narcissus trembling in the wind. She is like a silver flower.

Robbie Fay:
You know what I think?

Alfie Byrne:
What, Bosie?

Robbie Fay:
I think you're soft on her.
