Dialogue

 * Fergus: What the fuck, do you know about my people?
 * Jody: Only that you're all tough, undiluted motherfuckers... And it's not in your nature to let me go.
 * Fergus: Shut the fuck up, will ya?


 * Dil: He's still looking, Col.
 * Col: Persistent.
 * Dil: Good thing in a man.
 * Col: An excellent quality.
 * Dil: Maybe he wants something.
 * Col: I expect he does.
 * Dil: Ask him!
 * Col: Ask him yourself!


 * Fergus: So who's he?
 * Col: He's what she should run a mile away from.
 * Fergus: Then why doesn't she?
 * Col: Who knows the secrets of the human heart?


 * Dil: You gonna tell me what it is?
 * Jude: What is it?
 * Dil: Do you know her, Jimmy?
 * Jude: Jimmy, is it? Do you know me, Jimmy?
 * Fergus: Dil, this is Jude.
 * Dil: Are you following me?
 * Jude: Yeah! Just checking. Is he being nice to you, Dil?
 * Dil: Ever so nice, aren't you, Jimmy?
 * Jude: That's good. I'm glad. Young love, as they say?
 * Dil: Absolutely. The younger the better. Doesn't come YOUR way much, I suppose.
 * Jude: Don't go looking for it, Dil.
 * Dil: Well, maybe you'll get lucky... someday.
 * Jude: Bit heavy on the powder, isn't she?
 * Dil: A girl has to have a bit of glamour.
 * Jude: Oh, absolutely. As long as she can keep it. Isn't that right, James?


 * Dil: What you thinking of, hon?
 * Fergus: I'm thinking of your man.
 * Dil: Why?
 * Fergus: I'm wondering why you keep his things.
 * Dil: I told you. I'm superstitious.
 * Fergus: Did he ever tell you you were beautiful?
 * Dil: All the time. Even now.
 * Fergus: What do you mean?
 * Dil: He looks after me. He's a gentleman, too.


 * Col: You could always make it up to her. When a girl runs out like that, she generally wants to be followed.
 * Fergus: She's not a girl, Col.
 * Col: Whatever you say.


 * Fergus: Do they know?
 * Dil: Know what, honey?
 * Fergus: Know what I didn't know? And don't call me that.
 * Dil: Can't help it! A girl has her feelings.
 * Fergus: Thing is, Dil, you're not a girl.
 * Dil: Details, baby, details.
 * Fergus: So they do know?
 * Dil: Alright, they do.
 * Fergus: Don't. I should've known, shouldn't I?
 * Dil: Probably.
 * Fergus: Kind of wish I didn't.
 * Dil: You can always pretend.
 * Fergus: That's true. Your soldier knew, didn't he?
 * Dil: Absolutely.


 * Dil: Ask to meet me again, Jimmy.
 * Fergus: Do you think that's wise?
 * Dil: Nothing's wise.
 * Fergus: I didn't mean to hit you.
 * Dil: I know that.
 * Fergus: I kind of liked you as a girl.
 * Dil: Well that's a start.
 * Fergus: So I'm sorry.
 * Dil: So make it up to me.
 * Fergus: How?
 * Dil: Ask to meet me again.


 * Dil: Got you the multivitamins and the iron tablets, hon.
 * Fergus: Don't call me that.
 * Dil: Sorry, love. Now, the white ones are magnesium supplement.
 * Fergus: Stop it, Dil.
 * Dil: I've got to keep you healthy, Jimmy. I'm counting the days. Two thousand three hundred and thirty-four left.
 * Fergus: Thirty-five.
 * Dil: I'm sorry, darling. I keep forgetting the leap year. What am I supposed to call you then, Jimmy?
 * Fergus: Fergus.
 * Dil: Fergus. Fergus my love, light of my life.
 * Fergus : Please, Dil.
 * Dil: Can't help it. You're doing time for me. No greater love, as the man says. Wish you'd tell me why.
 * Fergus: As the man said, it's in my nature.
