THE DEVIL'S OWN

Edwin Diaz: When are you gonna let me drive? Tom O'Meara: I don't know, tomorrow. Edwin Diaz: You've been saying that for three years. Tom O'Meara: I understand why he's doin' what he's doin'. If I had to endure what he's endured---if I was eight years old and saw my father gunned down in front of my family---I'd be carryin' a gun too, and I wouldn't be wearin' a badge. [Referring to the men who shot Rory's father] Tom: Did they catch the fuckers? Rory: They were the fuckers. Rory: You're a stupid man, Mr. Burke. You only see me standing between you and your money. You're forgetting about the thousand men standing behind me. That's a mistake. O'Meara: It's good to have somebody around here who can pee standing up. Tom O'Meara: What's the money for? I was thinkin' guns. I was thinkin' IRA. Rory: I need that money Tom! Tom O'Meara: Why? So other eight-year-olds can watch their fathers gunned down in front of 'em? If this money leaves here, more people will die. Can you tell me that won't happen? [Looking at a dilapidated boat.] Rory: Here it is: the Irish Republican Navy. Rory: All the same, Mr. Fitzsimmoms, if you're not confused, you don't know what's goin' on. Rory: They say the word peace, but at the end of the day, all they want is surrender. Rory: Don't look for a happy ending. It's not an American story. It's an Irish one. ~ Home ~ Movies ~ Songs ~ Anonymous ~ Women ~ ~ Friendship ~ Life and Success ~ Poems ~ Shakespeare ~ Star Trek ~
