- Brendan McSweeney: The bishop is a plain speaking man.
- Fr. Daniel Barry: I will tell him you said so.
- Brendan McSweeney: Have you given any thought to the effect these pictures will have on people?
- Fr. Daniel Barry: Oh, I have, Brendan. They will be a source of enlightenment and entertainment to young and old alike.
- Brendan McSweeney: Bishop Hegarty might not agree with all that.
- Fr. Daniel Barry: You shouldn't assume to know the bishop's mind.
- Brendan McSweeney: I have serious moral objections to this enterprise.
- Fr. Daniel Barry: Well, go to confession then.
- Brendan McSweeney: There are people in this town struggling to put bread on the table, and what are we offering them? A picture house!
- Fr. Daniel Barry: The soul is fed by many things, Brendan.
- Brendan McSweeney: You still want to go back to Rome?
- Fr. Daniel Barry: They made a twenty eight year old the head curator after I'd been promised that position. He was an Italian of course. I still have my pride.
- Brendan McSweeney: So you kicked up a bit of a fuss.
- Fr. Daniel Barry: OH! I did. And I ended up here.
- Brendan McSweeney: It could have been worse. You could have ended up in the Aran Islands.
- Fr. Daniel Barry: Saint Patrick would have had a hard time with you.
- Brendan McSweeney: Saint Patrick?
- Fr. Daniel Barry: Wasn't he an outsider?
