My fave is from the lawyer in court- something like:

It's Mabo, it's land rights, it's the constitution, it's just the VIBE of the thing...

My favourite line was when the police officer came to Darryl house and asked whether or not he pulled the gates off someones house, to which Darryl denied ever having such involvement. Asked whether he had an alibi, he said his whole family will back him up. The police officer says, "Look Darryl, I know it was you..." and eventually says something like "A suggestion would be moving the gates to the back of your property out of the view." Cracked me up!

Dale: [voiceover] I think he also just loved the word.

Dennis Denuto, while maintaining his photocopier.

Tray 3? What the f#ck is that? I already cleaned tray 3!! F#ck!

Whenever I see Tiriel Mora, I remember this scene.

The scene with with Dennis and Darryl. Dennis is mucking round with the photocopier:

"What the *^#^ is that?! I've already cleaned out %^$*ing tray 3!!! What the %$#@ is that?"
Classic!!!

The part where tracy and her husband come back from Bangkok:
Tracey: "Oh yeah, and the sightseeing was great."
husband: "the flight was good too!"
Dale: What movies did you watch?
trace: umm.. can't remember. Yeah, so we went to a temple-
Dale: what order did you see them?
husband: we watched some tv on the plane as well.
Dale: Oh yeah? what shows?
Darryl: shut up!

It goes something like that...

my favourite bit has to be right at the end. I can't remember it exactly but dale is talking about the tow trucks and says

"first there was just the one, then there was 2, then 8, who knows where it will end, Mum reckons 11"

it something like that but it had me laughing for hours

So many- you just end up quoting them for hours!

"Jousting sticks? what do you want with jousting sticks?"

[–] stephi91 18 years ago

my fav line in general is
"tell him he's dreamin!"
oh and the part where there in the high court and dennis sees the other dude on the other side pass notes and so he writes a note saying "want a glass of water?" while he is presenting the speech. and then when they win he says
*beep* Brilliant."
yeah its an awesome movie on general!!

"but why's the rum gone?" cheers jack!

[–] bookworm_020 17 years ago

"It's the Vibe" is the one quote that stays in my mind.

My wife works as a legal assistant. They refer to many of the smaller law firms as Dennis Denuto's

It's the vibe also used as an insidered joke in the firm.

reply

[–] seh-7 12 years ago

"It's the vibe also used as an insidered joke in the firm."

It's not just a joke to your wife's firm - it's the whole legal profession! Everything can be reduced to the vibe. I remember our Advanced Constitutional Law class - we got bonus points from the professor if we could work in "the vibe" in a sensible and serious way that didn't bugger up our essays LOL. At work my mates and I try to use it in court (but only where it helps our cases, and not where it's gratuitous or makes us look like wankers) I've described the push for rehabilitation in sentencing in the Children's Court as "the vibe of the Act" in open court and got away with it :)

[–] surfiechick33333 18 years ago

i love the bit when darryl goes
"What do you call this, darl?"

F3, what the *beep* is that? i cleaned the *beep* tray 3 *beep* times....

if theres one thing dad loves more than serenity... its a two stroke engine of full throtle

coco had a son.. we called it "son of coco"

we can just chat for hours... "hows dad?" good "hows mum?" good.....etc.

reply

[–] blondie_babe889 18 years ago

I never get tired of watching this movie. It is an Australian Classic

I love how the items mentioned in the trading post pop up throughout the movie.
There are a few things that Dale tells his Dad about, only to be replied with "tell him he's dreamin" (eg the photocopier) are seen later in the film.

We still use lines from the movie in our day to day lives, "tell him he's dreamin" "what do ya call that love" "thats going straight to the pool room" etc etc etc, 9 years on.

The funny thing is, it is so true, parts of the movie we see and use everyday without realising, how Eric Bana is so excited by Kickboxing 24 hours A DAY!!!! How proud Darryl is of his kids and his home, Dale and Wayne D&M's. For me its watching my dad read the trading post. Whether he buys from it or not he loves to sit and read it, and Mum loves reading it to him, just like Dale. I have to mail it interstate for him!!! Be it Bellevue Hill or Bonnydoon, we all have a little Kerrigan in us.

reply

[–] illeagle34 18 years ago

Where to begin. So many!!

Wayne Kerrigan: How's Mum?
Dale Kerrigan: Good.
Wayne Kerrigan: How's Dad?
Dale Kerrigan: Good.
Wayne Kerrigan: How's Trace?
Dale Kerrigan: Good.
Wayne Kerrigan: How are you?
Dale Kerrigan: Good.
Wayne Kerrigan: How's Steve?
Dale Kerrigan: He's all right.
Wayne Kerrigan: Good.
Dale Kerrigan: [voice-over] We could just chat for hours.
Dale Kerrigan: You want some chewy?
Wayne Kerrigan: Nah, I'm alright.

Dale Kerrigan: Mum said it was funny how one day you're not famous, and the next day you are. Famous. And then you're not again.

Darryl Kerrigan: You see that chimney?
Land Valuer: Yes.
Darryl Kerrigan: Fake.
Land Valuer: Why's it there?
Darryl Kerrigan: Charm. Adds a bit of charm.

Dale (voiceover): Our family lives at 3 Highview Crescent, Coolaroo. Dad bought this place this place 15 years ago for a steal. As the real estate agent said, "Location, location, location." And we're right next-door to the airport! It will be very convenient if we ever have to fly one day.

Dale (voiceover): If dad is the backbone of the family, Mum is the other bones...all of them.

Dale (voiceover): Steve is an ideas man. That's why dad calls him "the ideas man". He has lots of ideas.
Steve: It's a motorcycle helmet with a built-in brakelight.
Darryl: You...are an ideas man, Steve.

I'd love to put more, butI'll leave some space.

I can't believe nobody has said this one yet:

or

'And may I just say how disenchanted I am with our legal system.'

reply

[–] Yak-6 17 years ago

I love all the lines above (especially Farouk's), but one that's not been mentioned that I like is the one that is not so funny as such, but really made me like Darryl and where he shows he's smarter than everyone (including the audience) has given him credit for...

Councilwoman: "I mean, I can understand all the pain, and trouble, and---"
Darryl: "--Would you stop pretending to be on my side?"

some of my faves

Con: I'm so impressed with your fighting qualities Mr Kerrigan and can I just say how disenchanted I am with our legal system

Dale(voice over): Wayne started helping dad with the tow trucks and really made a go of it. Dad's even more proud of him now then when he was in jail.

It was Wayne's idea to move into tray(?) trucks. Pretty soon they had 2, then 3, then 8. Who know's when it will stop. Mum reckons 11

Dale (voice over): (talking about Trace on the Price is Right) If only we knew the price of the luggage

Trace talking about Jenny
Mum: Jenny Jenny?
Trace: No, Microwave Jenny

Dale (voice over): Laurie asked Dennis to be his instructing solicitor.Dennis was stoked but *beep* himself
Dennis: I'm *beep* myself

Man: i've got a message to pass on

Man: mr kerrigan
Darryl: *beep* off
Man: you better watch your mouth pal
Steve pointing gun at man: you heard my dad, now *beep* off
Man: woah, alright, i just tried to tell you

MAN LEAVES AND DARRYL CLOSES THE DOOR AND TURNS TO STEVE

Darry: now what the *beep* do you think your doing? You know what i said after Wayne- no guns in the house
