The best lines are spoken by Jimmy Rabbitte snr. Especially the one about Joey.
JRS: What did he want?
JRJ: God sent him
JRS: What?
JRJ: God sent him
JRS: On a *beep* suzuki?
Brilliant! Pure clas this film. One of my favourites and even though I know all the dialogue off by heart it is still the best film ever and has me laughing out loud!
so this is the band?
yes
i bet U2 is $hittin themselves
When Jimmy is in the bathtub pretending to be interviewed by Terry Wogan.
Terry: "Be honest Jimmy did you ever think you would be this big?
Jimmy: "To be honest Terry I did. Even in the early days"
Terry: "As big as the Rolling Stones?"
Jimmy: "Who the *beep* are they Terry?"
OUTSPAN: "There's a band around called free beer. They always pull a big crowd"
DECO: "If I'm fronting this band I want to be called Deco"
BILLY: "Deco the bus conductor. Is that top deco or bottom deco"
OLD MAN: "DO you have any smoke cod?"
DEAN: "Nah sorry mister we only have soul"
(after Mickah headbutts the s*hit out of the mike)
MICKAH: "Thats a good strong mike dat ,qualities very rare these days"
GUITAR PLAYER: (singing)"I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour but heaven knows I'm miserable now"
JIMMY: "Yeah I know how you feel"
I wish my hair was Emo so that it would cut itself
It was actually "rock salmon" and not "smoked cod", but I agree it's a great line :-)
This movie is 2 hours of favorite lines.
Here's one that's not mentioned yet:
When the piano player is confessing, he says he's neglected his exams and had lustful thoughts about the girls in the band. Then he adds, "When I studied, I used to sing hymns. But now all I'm singing is When a Man Loves a Woman by Marvin Gaye."
Then the priest's voice from the next cell says "It's Percy Sledge, not Marvin Gaye. I have that album."
Anything Micah and Jimmy's dad say or do crack me up. All characters are great but they're the best. The funniest, at least.
Never be complete.
When Jimmy is in the bathtub pretending to be interviewed by Terry Wogan.
Thanks for this tidbit. I wondered who "Terry" was who Jimmy pretended to be interviewed by. I figured it was someone famous in Ireland. I googled Terry Wogan and learned who he is.
On topic: so many funny lines, but I like almost everything Joey says. One of my favorites is when he is doing his "I want to be your lover man" routine to an unseen woman, and then they show it's Bernie, and you realize he's working his way through the women in the band.
say it once and say it loud, I'm black and I'm proudshare
Oh, and another one...
"Don't sing with your own accents! It's 'ride Sally ride'! Not 'royd Sallee royd'!"
My fav line is when Jimmy tells his father that Joey the Lips told him that "God Sent him...." and Rabbitte Sr. says "On a *beep* Suzuki?" hehehe
shareThat wasn't micka who said that it was the Ginger haired guy, Billy Mooney who had quit the band( Because he couldn't get on with Deco ) that said it. You remember him in the shop trying out the drums. The woman lost the head with him and said 'Oi Ginger, would ya shut the *beep* up wud ya'. Classic.
Dat a boy Rusty, ya break-a the brake..
"The Lord doesn't like it when we speak in whispers"
"What is he, deaf?"
"A soul solo is comendable with the song,
it blends in with the music around it.
You were spiraling, that's jazz."
and
(in responce to the wedding band's name in the opening scene)
"Their band is called And And fookin And!?"
LMAO
In the book Derek tells Jimmy the band is called "And And, exclamation mark, And" to which Jimmy responds:
*beep* *beep* exclamation mark, me."[/b]
Cracks me up every time. I'll never understand why they didn't keep that line in.
Wasn't that a reference to Ginger Baker?
sharewasn't that a reference to Ginger Baker?
"The Lord sent me...and The Lord blows my trumpet." (I think that's it)
-Joey The Lips
Nae, its the little things that get me. The punk at Jimmy's door citing 'Billy an' the Bollocks' as an influence is one such, and the Quirke wedding disco when the old feller is woken up by the kids sliding on the floor and just comes out with "F u c k Off"
That said, the book has consistently better lines. I'd advise anyone and everyone to read it.
*J.Scribbler*
The last line.
"That's very profound, Jimmy. What does it mean?"
"The f uck if I know, Terry."
Why, it's that delightful TV leprechaun. I'm going to get your Lucky Charms.*drills*
The last line is so classic. I also love...
Jimmy Rabbitte: Elvis is not soul.
Jimmy Rabbitte, Sr.: [defensively] Elvis is God.
Jimmy Rabbitte: I never pictured God with a fat gut and corset singing "My Way" at Caesar's Palace.

That's the first thing that I thought of. Is the term ginger a common name for a red head in Ireland? First I ever heard it was on an episode of South Park.
This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.
"God sent him"
"On a *beep* suzuki?!"
"what do you play?"
"i used to play football in school"
"no, i mean what instrument"
"i don't"
"then why are you here?"
"i saw everyone else linin' up, so i thought yous were sellin' drugs"
*slam*
Jimmy: Do you not get it, lads? The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. And the Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. So say it once, say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud.

The bloke with his nose pushed up against the door during auditions and his best Dublin brogue:
"Bachman Toirner Overdroive . . . . "
class . . . .
When he's having a conversation with himself (or terry) and his wee brother interupts him and he goes *beep* off! I'm being interviewed!!" as if its a perfectly normal thing to say and his brother is being rediculous. Kills me every time!!
