Laurence KinlanQuotes

Steve Hart: I'm out of rounds. Do you have any left?

Dan Kelly: Only two.

Steve Hart: I guess that's all we need then, isn't it?

Dan Kelly: We never stood a chance, did we?

The Great Orlando: Knights in shining armour!

Ned Kelly: Curnow stopped the train.

Steve Hart: Jesus.

Dan Kelly: What does this mean?

Ned Kelly: Hare's on his way.

Dan Kelly: You mean we didn't get any of em.

Ned Kelly: Not a soul.

Joe Byrne: There'll be a hundred of em. At least.

Ned Kelly: You okay Dan?

Dan Kelly: Yeah I'm okay Ned.

Ned Kelly: Steve?

Steve Hart: A short life. And a merry one.

Ned Kelly: Joe?

Joe Byrne: We're gonna give them a good old fight, or aren't we?

Ned Kelly: That's that then. Alright, everyone listen to me. We're getting you out of here.

Dan Kelly: Where do you think Da is, heaven or hell?

Ned Kelly: No. He... he wouldn't be in hell, you know. He wasn't such a bad fella. He... he was just a dumb paddy who got picked on his whole life. And that does something to your pride, you know?

Old Man: I say, give me that back. That blackguard just stole my watch.

Steve Hart: They say the Lord helps those who help themselves.

Ned Kelly: Give him back his watch.

Steve Hart: What?

Ned Kelly: You heard what I said. I said give him back his damn watch.

Steve Hart: Have you gone simple all of a sudden. We're robbing a bank.

Ned Kelly: Listen here, kid. This is the last time I tell you. Give him back his damn watch.

Old Man: You're not innocent men. You're a bunch of common criminals.

Ned Kelly: [jumps the counter and talks to all the captive people.; places his gun on the counter.; looks around.; Superintendent Hare and the three police constables went up the stairs, back to bank when Joe begins writing.] Now did you hear that? If we act like common thieves, that's just what they'll call us. My mother is rotting away in a prison cell. Because of the lies of a policeman named Fitzpatrick. She's an innocent woman, and so are these boys here. My Irish brethren have been imprisoned unlawfully and blacklisted from their selections. How do you expect me to behave other than to stand up against this treatment. Any one of you here can take a shot at me and not be charged for it. There's me gun. Any of you feeling brave enough, go ahead. No? That's what I thought. So if I can beg your patience, this is my statement to the Premier of Victoria, Graham Berry, and you here are my witnesses. Joe, take out a pen and paper. We'll write ourselves a letter.

Ned Kelly: Dear sir. Dear sir.

Graham Berry: [reading the letter] Dear sir. I wish to acquaint you with some of the occurrences of the present, past and the future. It will pay government to give those people who are suffering-

Ned Kelly: Justice and liberty.

Graham Berry: Justice and liberty. I seek revenge for the evil name given me and my relations. By the light that shines, this is my warning.

Ned Kelly: My brother and sisters and mother have to put up with the brutal and cowardly conduct of a parcel of-

Graham Berry: Big, ugly-

Ned Kelly: Big, ugly, fat-necked -

Graham Berry: Fat-necked -

Dan Kelly: Wombat headed.

Ned Kelly: Wombat headed.

Graham Berry: Wombat headed, big-bellied, -

Woman: Magpie legged.

Ned Kelly: Magpie legged. Thank you very much, ma'am. Joe, write that down. Magpie legged.

Graham Berry: Narrow-hipped, splaw-footed, sons of Irish bailiffs -

Ned Kelly: Or English landlords, better known as what? The Victorian police.

Graham Berry: This section here you might find less amusing, Superintendent.

Ned Kelly: I give fair warning to all those who have reason to fear me, not to attempt to reside in Victoria. Neglect this and abide by the consequences which shall be worse than the rust in the wheat. I do not wish to give this order full force without timely warning but I am an widows son outlawed and my orders must be obeyed!
