Quotes

Dougal: It's like a big tide of jam coming toward us, but jam made out of old women. (edit)
Eoin McLove: Go away. I don't want to catch the menopause. (edit)
Father Ted: Ehm, Eoin, Did you enjoy your tea?
Eoin McLove: What? Yeah, uh, I don't know, whatever. I want to go now it's getting dark.
Dougal: You're not afraid of the dark are ya? It's only because the sun goes... eh, uh. There's this... It's got something to do with clouds. (edit)
Dougal: I know! We'll lure them into a giant bingo game!
Ted: And how are we going to do that?
Dougal: We'll print up some bingo cards on our printing press and...oh.
Ted: Yes, it's the lack of a printing press that lets us down there. Or bingo balls. Or a PA system. Or in fact, any bingo paraphernalia at all.
Dougal: Damn. So near, yet so far. (edit)
Ted: Eoin, did you come with those suitcases?
Eoin: No. These are yours. But I saw a lot of stuff that I liked and I'm taking them with me.
Dougal: Oh, that's very cheeky (edit)

Allusions
