Conor : [to Barry] You only have the power to stop things, but not to create.

Conor : [to Barry] Maybe you're living in my world. I'm not living in yours. You're just material for my songs.

Darren : What does "happy-sad" even mean? How can we be both things? It makes no sense.
Conor : It means that I'm stuck in this shithole full of morons and rapists and bullies, and I'm gonna deal with it, okay? It's just how life is. I'm gonna try and accept it and get on with it, and make some art.
Eamon : So how does that affect our music?
Conor : Positively.
-
Brendan : How d'you know he's her boyfriend anyway?
Conor : It seemed like it. Pulled off in his car, music blaring. He's pretty cool.
Brendan : What was he listening to?
Conor : Genesis.
Brendan : He will not be a problem.
Conor : Really?
Brendan : Trust me. No woman can truly love a man who listens to Phil Collins.

Eamon : So how do you mean you're "happy-sad"?
Darren : Yeah, how're we supposed to market that?
Conor : It means we're not pop anymore.
Eamon : We were pop? Listen, I'm happy being anything. I just want to play music.
Conor : That's fine. Be who you are, Eamon.
Eamon : Well, I don't know who I am. Maybe I'm happy-sad, too. I don't know.

Brother Baxter : Head down to the toilet and remove the makeup right now.
Conor : Why?
Brother Baxter : Because I told you to.
Conor : But I'm in a band. It's a school band, and I think it's important that we have a look.
Brother Baxter : You're a man. Men don't wear makeup.
Conor : But why not? People in the 18th century wore makeup. That means people like Mozart wore makeup, and he was a man.

Conor : Ok, so this is our last song. It's called Brown Shoes. And it's for every Christian Brother and for every bully you ever knew.
