Quotes

• (Father Fay screams)

Father Furlong: Oh, God! He must have seen his reflection!

Pilot: What?

Father Furlong: He's not supposed to see his reflection! He doesn't know he's a priest!

• Father Ted: It's just a rush. I feel... fearless, like Jeff Bridges in that movie.

Father Dougal: I haven't see that one.

Father Ted: Not many people have, Dougal. It's probably a bad reference.
