Derrick: Not going to leave much residue on the notes either, so they should be washable.

Packie: Oh, they're gonna be washable alright. Can't wait to see what sort of kick C4 residue is going to give me when I snort up a line of chop though one of them notes.

Derrick: First, you're a fuckin’ charmer, Patrick. Second, it's PE4, not C4!

[[classic swim]]

Packie: Gerry was right about you, Mikey. Your parents must have been twins to produce a kid as dumb as you. I'm surprised you ain't got three eyes, no balls and a club foot.

Eugene Reaper: I’m a gun club member. I'm gonna take these rookies downtown. Are you with me? Hey, what's your name, son?

Luis Lopez: Luis... but this ain't such a good idea bro.

Eugene Reaper: Yeah? They said catching that pass at my high school championship football game was a "bad idea," ‘cause I broke my leg in thirteen places. But... I scored a touchdown and won the game. The world is built out of bad ideas, my friend.

Derrick: Now listen people, we're your friends. Me and me brother here, we..

Packie: Why're you tellin' them we're brothers, you idiot? That's going to make it hard for them to find us, isn't it?

Derrick: I'm trying to be honest with these people. We've put them through a lot today.

Packie: Fuck these people, fuck your cause. That shit's over. Ireland's not the only thing that's green. Dollars are too!

[[classic swim]]

Derrick: Now you've said bloody Ireland. That's gonna narrow the search ain't it?

Patrick: Fuck you! Take the needle out your arm, then tell me what to do!

Derrick: I’LL LET YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO, when you stop shovin’ half of Bolivia up your nose every Saturday night!
