Pop: You know who you are, don't you?
Buddy: Yes, Pop.
Pop: You're Buddy from Belfast 15, where everybody knows you and your pop looks out for you and your mummy looks out for you, your daddy looks out for you, your granny looks out for you, your brother looks out for you, and the whole family looks out for you. And wherever you go and whatever you become, that'll always be the truth. And that thought will keep you safe. It'll keep you happy... Will you remember that for me?
Buddy: Yes, Pop.

Pa: What's yours is mine, and what's mine's my own.

Buddy: Was that our side that done all that to them Catholic houses in our street, Daddy?

Pa: Because your granny'd kill me if I didn't.

Buddy: Daddy, do you think me and that wee girl have a future?
Pa: Well, why the heck not?
Buddy: You know she's Catholic?

Buddy: Every night, before I go to sleep, when I say my prayers, I ask God if He could fix it so that when I wake up in the morning, I'm the best footballer in the world.
Buddy: And then I also ask another thing as well. That when I grow up. Can I marry Katherine? Even if she loves Ronnie Boyd. But she could still see 'im. But she'd marry me. That's what I want.

Moira: You can tell them by their names.
Buddy: How?
Moira: Well, if he's a Patrick or a Sean, he's a Catholic, and if he's a Billy or a William, he's a Protestant.

Moira: I know that. I'm just saying, them's the obvious ones.
Buddy: What about Maurice?
Moira: Uh, don't know.

Buddy: Will you?
