Gerry Conlon : What I remember most about my childhood is holding your hand. My wee hand in your big hand, and the smell of tobacco. I remember, I could smell the tobacco in the palm of your hand. When I want to feel happy, I try to remember the smell of tobacco.
Giuseppe Conlon : Hold my hand.

Gerry Conlon : You're not dying alright?
Giuseppe Conlon : Can I not say a thing without you contradicting me? I'm scared to leave your mother behind.
Gerry Conlon : Look, you are not going to die alright? If you do, sure I can look after Ma alright.

Gerry Conlon : I'll be older than you when I get out of this place. If I get out. Are you listening to me?
Giuseppe Conlon : I'm not talking to you.
Gerry Conlon : Now who's being childish?
Giuseppe Conlon : I've not heard a sensible word out of you in two weeks. That stuff will kill you.
[talking about drugs]
Gerry Conlon : Sure I'm dead anyway. Look I'm sorry. I'll not take it again as long as you live. Are you happy now?
Giuseppe Conlon : No.
Gerry Conlon : Why not?
Giuseppe Conlon : I don't want you to take it whether I live or die.
Gerry Conlon : Oh, give me strength. Ok, I'll do nothing to annoy you in your grave. Now are you happy?
Giuseppe Conlon : Is that a promise?
Gerry Conlon : Ay, maybe.
