“God, isn’t that terrific? There’s nothing quite like a good gobshite when you’re trying to relax.”

“It’s a small, off-the-coast, rather backward little island, Father. Oh, I love it!”

“Do you remember that day you had to drink loads of drink? And shout ‘Drink! Feck! Arse!’?”

“Ah, go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on!”
