Damien : How many British soldiers in the country, Tim?
Tim : Too many.
Damien : How many?
Teddy : About ten thousand, Damien.
Damien : Ten Thousand. Tans, artillery units, machine-gun car, cavalry...
Teddy : And many more besides. What's your point, Damien?
Damien : It's young men like Micheail we're talkin' about, Teddy.
Teddy : Micheail was a real Irishman, Damien.
Ned : You're a coward, Damien.
Damien : I'm a coward? And you're a hero, isn't it, Ned? You're gonna take down the British army with your hurley, is that it?
Rory : For Christ's sake, Damien. What about Micheail?
Damien : Look, Micheail was killed because he wouldn't say his name in English. Is that what you call a martyr, Teddy, is it?
Sinead : So we should all buy a one-way ticket to London, is that it, Damien?

Teddy : [looking around Hamilton's study] Such a beautiful room, it's hard to imagine a man's scream from here. Ever seen fingernails ripped out with a rusty pliers, Sir John, hmm? All your learning, and you still don't understand.
Sir John Hamilton : Oh, I understand perfectly, Mr. O'Donovan. God preserve Ireland if ever your kind take control.
Damien : [trains his gun on Hamilton] Well, you'd better start getting used to the idea.

Dan : Right. You're paupers, just like me. Take a look up and down this country and see the amount of volunteers that are involved in land seizures and cattle drives. Now do you want to know why that is happening?
Teddy : That's enough of that now.
Dan : It's not enough of it! The IRA are backing the landlords and crushing people like you and me.
Teddy : You sat down with the IRA last night.
Dan : I'm talking here!
