Memorable Quotes
Finbar McBride: It's funny how people see me and treat me, since I'm really just a simple, boring person.
Joe Oramas: Hey, Olivia, you got a garlic press?
Olivia Harris: No.
Joe Oramas: How can you not have a garlic press?
Olivia Harris: [both she and Fin are smiling, looking at him] Still no!
Joe Oramas: Alright, you keep talking! I'm gonna go cook without the garlic press! [turns back to kitchen]
Olivia Harris: [to Fin] I'm not used to having people in my house... especially loud people.
Finbar McBride: It's a nice house.
Olivia Harris: Yeah. David bought it as a get-away place... so I moved down here and got away.
Finbar McBride: Where did you used to live?
Olivia Harris: Princeton. [glancing at Fin] I know... I didn't get very far. But I just couldn't stay there another minute. Everyone looking at me... the poor woman whose son died. [a bit of silence falls between them] How about you? What made you pick Newfoundland?
Finbar McBride: [smiling mystically] I wanted to live near Joe! [Laughter spreads out gradually from them]
Joe Oramas: [leaning over the rail, shouting] Guys! [Fin and Olivia burst into laughter] Would you come up here and talk? Seriously, this sucks! [the two keep laughing crazily]
Finbar McBride: Well, there are people called train chasers. They follow a train and they film it.
Olivia Harris: Are you a train chaser?
Finbar McBride: No.
Olivia Harris: How come?
Finbar McBride: I don't know how to drive a car. And I don't own a camera.
Olivia Harris: That'd do it
Joe Oramas: Hey listen, if you guys do something later, can I join you?
Finbar McBride: We're not gonna do something.
Joe Oramas: No, I know, but if you do, can I join you?
Finbar McBride: We're not gonna do something later.
Joe Oramas: Okay, but, if you do?
Finbar McBride: Okay.
Joe Oramas: Cool.
