- Anthony: What did you bring a thousand pounds to school for? Can't you see that's suspicious?
- Damian Cunningham: It's not suspicious, it's unusual.
- Damian Cunningham: That's how Anthony would want this story to end. With big piles of stuff. But it's not his story. It's mine.
- [first lines]
- Damian Cunningham: [voiceover] The French have said au revoir to the franc, the Germans have said auf wiedersehen to the mark, and the Portuguese have said... whatever to their thing.
- Headteacher: Would you like to tell us why you did it Anthony?
- Anthony: [pause] Our mum's dead!
- [crying]
- Dorothy: What?
- Damian Cunningham: I need a wee.
- Dorothy: Tell her that. Can he use your loo?
- Cashier 2: I'm not sure.
- Dorothy: The poor kid's been in here half an hour. You must have a loo. What do you do when you need to go?
- Anthony: You do realise, you just kissed goodbye to the money.
- Ronnie: Come on, let's get cracking.
- Anthony: She's going to run off with it, you must know that?
- Ronnie: Come on! How can she, she's got Damian?
- Anthony: She'll kidnap him, hold him to ransom for the rest of the money.
- Ronnie: No, Anthony, that's what *you'd* do.
- Anthony: [to Damian] You should be careful what you talk about. Try talking about football or something. Keep off the weird stuff. Just don't be conspicuous or you won't fit in.
- [after realizing the trouble that Damian's "gift" has caused]
- Anthony: [to Damian] You're a loony, and you ought to be *locked up!*
