Quotes 

• Eilis : [going to the beach with Jim, Nancy, and George]  I'd forgotten.

  Nancy : What?

  Eilis : This.

  Jim Farrell : You have beaches in Brooklyn.

  Eilis : Yes, but they're just very crowded.

  Jim Farrell : There'll probably be quite a few walkers along here later.

  Eilis : Yes. It's still not the same.

  Jim Farrell : I'm sure it's not. We don't really know anything of the rest of the world. We must seem very backward to you now.

  Eilis : Of course not. You seem calm and civilized and charming.

• Nancy : [watching Eilis change into her bathing suit]  Is that an American trick?

  Eilis : Yes. It's a good one, isn't it?

  Nancy : It's depressing, though, that we don't think of things like that, isn't it? I mean, how long have they known about it? A hundred years, probably.

  Jim Farrell : I don't think they had bathing suits like that a hundred years ago. We still don't have them now.

• Jim Farrell : We could try the Connaught Hotel bar. There may be a few of the fellas from the rugby club there.

  George Sheridan : Okay.

  Eilis : Do you have to be with other fellas from the rugby club all the time?

  Jim Farrell : No. Uh, but Nancy told us we wouldn't be allowed to talk to you 'cause you have too much to say to each other, so we're just looking for company.

  Eilis : Oh, well.

  George Sheridan : Do you not like the fellas from the rugby club, Eilis?

  Eilis : I don't particularly, George. When I first went to America, I missed every single thing about Enniscorthy except one.

  Jim Farrell : We're not all the same.

  Eilis : You all look the same. It's the blazer and the hair oil.

• Eilis : Oh, Bartocci's? Well, it sells lovely things. But I can't afford many of them and I don't like the work, so...

  Jim Farrell : What would you like to do?

  Eilis : I want to do what Rose did. I want to work in an office and deal with numbers.

  Jim Farrell : Well, you should call in at Davis's. They haven't managed to replace Rose, you know.

  Eilis : I'll be going back to New York straight after the wedding.

  Jim Farrell : But you might want to earn a little money in the meantime. I'm sure they'd be glad to have you.

  George Sheridan : But you just want her to stay.

  Jim Farrell : I'm only thinking of Eilis.

  George Sheridan : Do you hear that, Eilis? He's only thinking of you.
