Quotes 

• Michelle Mallon : Do you think your ma's getting plumbed by the plumber?

  Orla McCool : Well, I never trusted her, not since the day i met her.

  Erin Quinn : She's your auntie, Orla.

  Erin Quinn : The day you met her you were a new-born baby.

  Orla McCool : Exactly.

• Mary Quinn : I didn't have an affair! I didn't want to say anything, because... Because, well, the idea that someone like me could go back to school, the idea that someone like me might even go to university, well, it didn't seem possible. I thought there's no point in telling anybody about all this because it's not actually going to happen. It's... it's not real.

  Gerry Quinn : Well... ..let's make it real, if it's what you want.

  Mary Quinn : Do you mean that?

  Gerry Quinn : There's nothing you can't do, love - nothing.

  Erin Quinn : Absolute arsehole. How could you, Mammy? I wanted to be the first person in our family to go to university, and now you're absolutely stealing my thunder.

  James Maguire : Really, Erin?
