The Offence - Struggles of the Mind and Body

Detective Inspector Johnson: [grabs Baxter's hand, squeezes] It hasn't always been like this, like it is now. I can't think, I can't stop thinking. Is it like that? Is it the same for you? Is your mind full of things all the time? Thoughts, pictures, shadows, darkness. White, smooth white legs, thighs and breasts, blood and pain?
Kenneth Baxter: You're hurting me.
Detective Sergeant Johnson: [sobbing] Help me!
Kenneth Baxter: You're hurting me.
Kenneth Baxter: [breaks free from Johnson] Help your bloody self!

The Offence - Confrontation Between Two Characters

Detective Inspector Johnson: You filthy bloody little pervert!
Kenneth Baxter: Takes one to know one.

The Offence - Confrontation of Madness and Desire

Kenneth Baxter: You're mad! You must be!
Detective Inspector Johnson: Mad? Mad? It's you that's mad, Baxter. You won't find me chasing after little girls and ripping their clothes off. You won't find me following little girls home from school. "Would you like a sweet?" "You come with me, little girl, I've something to show you." I know you! Can't get enough at home. Don't know what to do with it. You start looking at your secretary, think about her. What would she look like stripped off? You've got money! Easy when you've got money. "You, I want you, come here. Cash on delivery." But when you bring it off, when you see something in her eyes that says, "I'll remember you." I mean, suppose she just looks at you, and it's just one face. One more face, and 10 million others! Suppose she doesn't even see you!
Kenneth Baxter: You sad, sorry, little man.

The Offence - Confronting Personal Truths and Hypocrisy

Kenneth Baxter: You've found it, haven't you? Something like the truth? Does it surprise you? Shock you? It's there in everyone. You must know that better than anyone. Surely you know that, eh? Of course, you think just everyone else, not you. I suppose, being a policeman, you have to. Twenty years thinking you're different. It must get to be a habit, thinking, "Thank God I'm not those other men." It's difficult. It's dangerous. But you're just the same, you see. In some ways you're one hell of a lot worse.

The Offence - The Burden of Inner Thoughts

Kenneth Baxter: Nothing I have done can be one half as bad as the thoughts in your head. I wouldn't have your thoughts!

Waking Ned - Unexpected Outcome of a Lottery Ticket

Jackie O'Shea: Annie, look at this, get in here!
Jackie O'Shea: I did it!
Annie O'Shea: Did you win?
Annie O'Shea: Then why did you boast that you did it?
Jackie O'Shea: Because I succeeded at getting you to bring me my apple crisp.

Waking Ned - The Importance of Sharing in Waking Ned

Jackie O'Shea: I'm not a great man for telling things the way they are. I mean, I've been known to add a little color to stories and riddles for the benefit of those who will listen. Yet here tonight I can swear that all I've told you is true. The money will be claimed and divided equally between the fifty two of us. Now it was wrong, to think I could claim the money meself. That's not what Ned wants. He wants us to share the winnings. A nest egg for us all. So now if the lotto man comes to the village, you say that Ned Devine is alive and well, and you point your finger to Michael O'Sullivan.

Waking Ned - Regrets of an Unexpected Windfall

Jackie O'Shea: If I'd have known how much was won, I'd never have started in the first place. Oh Lord, this is getting awful serious.

Waking Ned - Gift of Soaps for Finn

Jackie O'Shea: And don't take it personally, Finn, but I bought you some expensive, fruity soaps. Take them home, try them out.

Waking Ned - Reflections on Friendship and Farewell

Jackie O'Shea: As we look back on the life of... (Lottery man enters funeral parlor)... Michael O'Sullivan was my great friend, but I don't ever remember telling him that. The words that are spoken at a funeral are spoken too late for the man who is dead. What a wonderful thing it would be to visit your own funeral. To sit at the front and hear what was said. Maybe to say a few things yourself. Michael and I grew old together. But at times, when we laughed, we grew younger. If he was here now, if he could hear what I say, I'd congratulate him on being a great man, and thank him for being a friend.

Waking Ned - Unexpected Fortune in a Tragic Discovery

Jackie O'Shea: finding Ned Divine's body, dead, holding the winning lottery ticket. Dear God. You'll be cursing in heaven tonight, Ned Devine.
