Quotes:

Maureen Duffy: [rushes to the docks and finds Jimmy about to leave] Jimmy McDevitt, will you stop being so bloody stupid? You're just gonna leave and that's it, you can't do that. You can't just mess with people's feelings like that.
[Jimmy turns to her]
Maureen Duffy: God, what an idiot I've been, standing here thinking that you actually cared!
Jimmy McDevitt: I do care!
Maureen Duffy: No, you don't!
Jimmy McDevitt: Yes, I do. You know, for a moment there, Maureen, I thought you and I had something...
Maureen Duffy: We do.
Jimmy McDevitt: You and Kathleen. But I was just fooling myself.
Maureen Duffy: But...
Jimmy McDevitt: No buts! I mean how many freebies do I have to give away in this village? You can't buy acceptance, Lord knows I tried, three times to Sunday. Yeah Jimmy's a likeable guy. But you know what? Deep down inside, they're all afraid of me. Afraid of who I am, what they think I represent, so I disappoint them. Pulled off the scam of a lifetime. But it's all over now. It's time for Jimmy to jam and get back to... familiar territory. Make another quick buck.

Movie Connections:

References The Commitments (1991)

If they could remove the obnoxious guy this would be by far the best movie I have seen in a LONG, LONG time!!!!

Excellent movie, AWESOME music.............as long as you can stand 1 obnoxious character then you will love this movie. I may be biased as I am Celtic and thus am partial to anything Irish/Scottish. The setting, characters and music really show the Irish traditions and make you fall in love with the country and music all over again. This movie has humor, romance, loyalty, depicts the "fighting Irish", has an old world feel alongside with today's American life...........it really has a bit of everything and really has some pretty quirky twists. Goes to show, you can't judge a movie by it's cover......it's almost like watching two movies in one or having two worlds collide. Watch this movie with an open mind and enjoy!!!!
