Quotes3

  • Francis Phelan: I'd like to buy this shirt from you. Will you take two bits for it?
  • Rosskam: Why does a bum need a clean shirt?
  • Francis Phelan: Clothes make the man, they say.
  • Rosskam: Tidy bum. Sensitive, tidy bum I got on my wagon.
  • Rosskam: So, how do you like it?
  • Francis Phelan: Like what?
  • Rosskam: Sex business, woman stuff...
  • Francis Phelan: Well, I don't think about it that much anymore. To tell you the truth, I'm over the hill.
  • Rosskam: Over the hill? How old are you, 62?
  • Francis Phelan: I'm not *that* old.
  • Rosskam: 71 here. I don't go over no hills. Four, five times a night, I get it with the old woman, and in the daylight I go house to house, I get offers. I never went house to house. Listen, half my life I go house to house, and I know how it is. You get offers. Boy oh boy, you get offers.
  • Rosskam: A bum is a bum. You I don't like.
  • Francis Phelan: Well, I sort of liked you - and, I ain't half bad once you get to know me.
