Sharon : [looks over the seat at Brother Tony after everyone's clothing has been ripped off, specifically she looks at his crotch] Oh! So all the snakes weren't driven out of Ireland.
Brother Tony : What?
[trying to cover himself]
Sharon : Snakes. Ha, ha, ha, ha.
[laughing hysterically]

Martin Brogan : Tonight's the one night I turn to flesh so... what d'ya say to a wee bit o' skelpin', eh? Come on. At least tell me your name.
[He vanishes under the sheet]
Sharon : [She lifts up the sheet and sees his naked body] Wow!
Martin Brogan : Oh, really? I've got the best bahookies from here to Ballinderry. Come on, what do you say? Let's give it a twirl, eh?
Sharon : [She drops the sheet and continues filing her nails] Drop dead.
Martin Brogan : Ooooh, God, what a woman.

[Mary has just aged 200 years]
Sharon : Jack, you threw me over for this? This... ugh! I mean I know you like passive women, Jack, but she's half dead. I hope she has a great personality, because this hurts.
-
Sharon : My love, my reason for dying.
-
Jack : [reading from a book] "A ghost may not tup with a human." So this means a ghost cannot make love with a human being. Oh, my God!
Jack : [as Sharon enters the room] Mary?
Sharon : [annoyed] Who's Mary? Who's this Mary?
Jack : She's a woman. She's a ghost.
Sharon : [upset] Oh, Jack, don't start this ghost stuff again.
Jack : She's someone I care about. It's funny how you can care. I think I'm falling in love...
Sharon : Jack, don't stand there and tell me that you're having an affair with a goddamn ghost.
Jack : Well, I am!
Sharon : [mad] That's it! Your lawyer, my lawyer -- and I hope your ghost has a lawyer, because I want to meet him.
Jack : [the 2 ghosts appear] Here she is! This is Mary the ghost. And that's Martin the ghost!
Sharon : That's the man that was in my bathtub!
Jack : [Jack and Sharon are witnessing Mary and Martin's fatal argument] They're having problems in their relationship.
Sharon : No, Jack, we're having problems in OUR relationship.

Martin Brogan : That was a dirty trick wasn't it, eh? Eh? Kicking me right in the bahoogies.
Sharon : You were going to stab your wife with a sword, you pig.
Martin Brogan : Ah, sure, that's no big thing. I do it every night.
Sharon : Oh, and I suppose watching other men's wives in the bathtub is no big deal either.
Martin Brogan : [backs Sharon against a wall] Sure, it's a grand thing if the wife happens to be you.
[leans in for a kiss]
Sharon : [moves away] You dirty peeping Tom.
Martin Brogan : My name's not Thomas. It's Martin.
Martin Brogan : [getting turned on by Sharon] Oh, God. Here, give us a wee skelp before...
Martin Brogan : [Sharon is about to kick him in the nuts again] No, not again! You're a wily vixen, aren't ya?
Martin Brogan : [getting turned on by Sharon] Oh, God, what a woman.
Sharon : [getting horny] You're not so bad yourself.

Sharon : [she is standing in the bathtub, taking a shower; the ghost of Martin appears behind her] Jack, is that you?
Sharon : [she thinks she is talking to her hubby Jack] God, I don't know what happened to me, but I feel zonked. I've got pains all over my body. Could you rub my back?
Sharon : [she thinks Jack is too scared to touch her, because they just had an argument] Well, go on, Jack. I won't bite.
Sharon : [the ghost of Martin gives her a sensual back-rub; Sharon gets turned on] Oh, Jack, you never did it like THAT before. Mmmmm.
Martin Brogan : [keeps massaging her body, talking softly to himself] Saint Patrick. Saint Jude. Saint Columcille.
Sharon : [turns around to see a ghost; scared, she screams] Oh! Jack!
Jack : [runs over to her, she is in the bathtub but the ghost is gone] Honey, what is it?
Sharon : [almost hysterical] Where have you been? There was a MAN in my bathtub! A big, giant man, and he's scrubbing my back.
Sharon : [insultingly] And it felt good! I should've known it wasn't you!

[Sharon is flossing her teeth, seemingly unaware of Jack's presence]
Jack : Now that I'm dead, I thought I'd let you know. You're as cold as a penguin on an iceberg. You're a dwarf. Yeah, clean those choppers so you can chew up the next jerk that comes along.
Jack : [Sharon slaps him] I'm not dead?
Sharon : No, but if I were you I wouldn't make any long-term plans!
