The Best of Brendan Gleeson

Colm Doherty
"If punching a policeman is a sin, we may as well just pack up and go home."

Ken
"Harry, let's face it. And I'm not being funny. I mean no disrespect, but you're a cunt. You're a cunt now, and you've always been a cunt. And the only thing that's going to change is that you're going to be an even bigger cunt. Maybe have some more cunt kids."

Father James
"I've always felt there's something inherently psychopathic about joining the army in peace time, as far as I'm concerned people join the army to find out what its like to kill someone. I hardly think that's an inclination that should be encouraged in modern society, do you?"

Knuckles McGinty
"I don't do nothin' for no one for nothin'."

Sergeant Gerry Boyle
"Now I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, these men are armed and dangerous, and you being an FBI agent you're more used to shooting at unarmed women and children..."

Frank
"You'd never think it... needing rain so badly. Not in fucking England!"

Walter 'Monk' McGinn
"Citizens of the Five Points! Mr. Bill Cutting is attempting to draw me into an argument that would no doubt end in bloodshed and the compromising of my office. Well, what do you think? Shall I engage in silence, this relic of the ancient law? Or, shall I be your chosen voice in a new testament, in the new world?"

Tom Nickerson
"We were headed for the edge of sanity... like we were aberrations, phantoms. Trust gave way to doubt. Hope to superstition."

Donnelly
"Well, is it my fault that you have a shite job?"

Stobrod Thewes
"He always smiles. He don't mean nothin' by it. I told him, there ain't nothin' in this world worth a smile!"

Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody
"Stay in formation, everyone. Don't break ranks if one of us is killed."

August Nicholson
"I often wondered if you and my son bonded because neither of you was fond of speaking. You're very kind. You must pardon my manners; I haven't slept in many nights."

Menelaus
"See the crows? They've never tasted Prince before."

Irishman
"I *can* thump."

General Brigham
