• Mrs Fiorello : Hey, how did you learn to eat spaghetti like that?

  Eilis : I've been taking lessons.

  Laurenzio : Lessons? Like... like in a class? You can do that? Maybe I could teach it.

  Eilis : No, no, um, Diana, who lives in the boarding house with me, cooked me some spaghetti and made me try and eat it without making a mess.

  Mr Fiorello : So, uh, what do you eat in Ireland? Just Irish stew?

  Eilis : Not just.

• Mrs Fiorello : So, Tony tells me you go to college.

  Eilis : Oh, just night classes. I want to be a bookkeeper. I like working in the shop well enough, but I don't want to be there forever.

  Frankie Fiorello : [coming back with his father]  I'm sorry, Eilis. I'm an idiot.

  [Mr. Fiorello flicks his ear] 

  Frankie Fiorello : I'm a rude idiot.
