- Garda Lisa Nolan: You're drunk.
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: No, I'm not. No.
- Garda Lisa Nolan: Is that right?
- [Ciarán chuckles]
- Garda Lisa Nolan: Say the alphabet backwards for me.
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: Em... Zed... Et cetera.
- Garda Lisa Nolan: I hope you're not driving.
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: No. I'm taking Johnny's horse. Yah.
- Garda Lisa Nolan: You're going to ride a horse while intoxicated?
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: Yeah, so? The horse is sober.
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: What killed him, Jim?
- Dr. Jim Gleeson: The fact that he's just a head. You bring me someone with a head cold or a headache and I could do something, but you bring me just a head and you're taking the piss. Jesus, they could bury him in a shoe box.
- Garda Lisa Nolan: Doctor, we need to know.
- Dr. Jim Gleeson: He was mauled in some way by some... animal or... something. I dunno. A tiger?
- Garda Lisa Nolan: Looks like it should be nice out.
- Una Maher: Ah, there's a storm coming.
- Garda Lisa Nolan: Oh? Really?
- Una Maher: Mmm.
- Garda Lisa Nolan: Are the gulls flying low or something?
- Una Maher: No, it was on the telly.
- [gestures to TV weather forecast]
- Garda Lisa Nolan: What is that thing?
- Dr. Adam Smith: I haven't a clue. I've never seen anything like it before. It's a completely foreign species. I can't even begin to originate or class it.
- Paddy Barrett: A "grabber."
- Una Maher: You're throwing a party?
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: Yeah.
- Una Maher: Why?
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: Who needs a reason to have a laugh, ha-ha-ha?
- Garda Lisa Nolan: [slurring] It's a welcome party for me.
- Una Maher: Welcome party? But you're leaving in a fortnight.
- Garda Lisa Nolan: So it's a goodbye party, whatever.
- Una Maher: You only just got here.
- Garda Lisa Nolan: [slurring, to O'Shea] What's her problem?
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: What is it, Paddy?
- Paddy Barrett: Wouldn't you like to know?
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: Not really, no.
- Paddy Barrett: You would, though.
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: No, not really.
- Paddy Barrett: You would. If you were to know what I know, you'd want to know.
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: All right, tell us then.
- Paddy Barrett: [leans in] Right, so, between you and me, I caught meself a sea monster today. Swear to God, may he strike me down. You don't believe me?
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: Not a bit.
- Paddy Barrett: I am no liar.
- Brian Maher: Ha!
- Paddy Barrett: Feck off, you!
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: All right, where is it?
- Paddy Barrett: In me bathtub.
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: In your bathtub.
- Paddy Barrett: Having a bath.
- [Paddy laughs]
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: Goodnight, Paddy.
- Garda Lisa Nolan: Smith said it needs water, right?
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: Pfff... says a lot of things.
- Paddy Barrett: Mostly bollocks.
- Garda Lisa Nolan: Whatever. But if it needs water to survive, how could it be movin' about on dry land?
- Paddy Barrett: It was rainin'. When it's rainin', there's no such thing as dry land.
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: As, as, as... flattering as it is... to hear a... a beautiful drunk s-slurrin' her feelings for me... now's not the time.
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: [Touching the seemingly dead alien species] It's dead, right?
- Dr. Adam Smith: Ummm, I'm not sure.
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: [Moves away cautiously] You're not what?
- Dr. Adam Smith: Basic tests I've done so far have shown up nothing usual or normal. It is beyond mystifying. I mean, really, I can't be sure without opening it up.
- Paddy Barrett: [Swiftly beats it with a stick; it doesn't move] Ah... Tis dead.
- Garda Ciarán O'Shea: [after Adam shows the egg of the dead female grabber] How did that big egg... come out of that?
- Dr. Adam Smith: [Constantly looking at Lisa, even when replying to Ciarán] Mother Nature is a mysterious one, isn't she? Incredibly beautiful!
- [to Lisa]
- Dr. Adam Smith: You related?
