Quotes

• “Fay: You've been a widower for three days. Have you considered remarrying yet?McLeavy: No.Fay: Why not?McLeavy: I've been so busy with the funeral.”
• “Fay: Have you known him long?Hal: We shared the same cradle.Fay: Was that economy or malpractice?Hal: We were too young then to practice and economics still defeat us.”
• “Fay: What will you do when you're old?Hal: I shall die.Fay: I see you're determined to run the gamut of all experience.”
• “Hal: Bury her naked? My own mum? It's a Freudian nightmare.Dennis: I won't disagree.Hal: Aren't we committing some kind of unforgivable sin?Dennis: Only if you're a Catholic.Hal: I am a Catholic. I can't undress her. She's a relative. I can go to Hell for it.Dennis: I'll undress her then. I don't believe in Hell.Hal: That's typical of your upbringing, baby. Every luxury was lavished on you - atheism, breast-feeding, circumcision. I had to make my own way.”
