- Nettie Cleary: I never doubted he'd do as well as anyone else.

- Timmy Cleary: Why did you come back?
- Nettie Cleary: I'm a coward.
- John Cleary: You don't know what you believe in?
- Timmy Cleary: Do you?
- John Cleary: Yes!
- Timmy Cleary: Tell me. Go on...
- John Cleary: I believe in the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. I believe God created Man in his own image...
- Timmy Cleary: [Interrupting] Pop! If your faith works for you, I'm glad. Really, I'm very glad. I wish it worked for me, but it doesn't.
- John Cleary: Do you believe in God - yes or no?
- Timmy Cleary: I don't believe in heaven or hell or purgatory...
- John Cleary: [Interrupting, shouting] YES or NO!

- John Cleary: [Looking disgusted] Well, this is a fine how-do-you-do.
- Nettie Cleary: [Calmly] Yesterday you said he was a man. A man has a right to decide such things for himself.
