- Strang: [in italian] I pity those who have not looked upon your face. How barren their dreams must be.
- Anne Kennedy: That's beautiful. What does it mean?
- Strang: What?

- Anne Kennedy: Yes, but what does it mean?
- Strang: well, well... it means... well it actually means "Landlord, bring me another bowl of your finest pickled eggs"
- John Power: Once on the road, I'll inform the Colonel that his wounded soldier has died. You... will see to it that this news is accurate.
- John Power: Ironic, isn't it? The only way you can avoid being charged with attempting to murder him is to finish him off.
- Robert Kennedy: Is there news of the injured soldier?
- Lord Fermoy: He has a fever, though I'm told the wound is unlikely to prove fatal. Let us pray he makes a full recovery. Of course. However, should he die, there would be less sympathy for those who are responsible for his murder.
- Garrett Byrne: Did I tell you how I came to suffer such a wound?
- Catherine Kennedy: No.
- Garrett Byrne: There I was, minding my own business, when this half-mad banshee suddenly took a pot shot at me.
- Catherine Kennedy: Really?
- Garrett Byrne: She was aiming for my heart. I was lucky to escape with my life.
- Catherine Kennedy: Perhaps you only have a very small heart. Perhaps it's very hard to hit.
