  • When Pádraic first approaches Colm on why he does not want to be friends with him anymore, with Colm simply saying he just doesn't like him anymore.
    Colm: But you didn’t say anything to me, and you didn’t do anything to me.
    Pádraic: Well, that’s what I was thinking, like.
    Colm: I just don’t like you no more.
    Pádraic: You do like me.
    Colm: I don't.
  • After Pádraic remarks to Dominic that Colm wants to end his friendship with him, Dominic remarks that Colm must be 12.
  • When Colm asks Pádraic if one of them should take their pint outside after Colm plays a portion of a tune he has been composing, Pádraic immediately comments that it was a "shite tune" and takes his pint outside.
  • Colm apparently timed the conversation Pádraic had with him talking about his donkey's waste, which actually was instead, Pádraic's pony's waste.
  • Quite a dark one but Dominic comments that the beating he got with a kettle wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for the kettle's spout.
  • Pádraic likes to have his beloved donkey Jenny in his house, which irritates Siobhan. The latter even confuses the straw meant for Jenny as her waste.
    Pádraic: I am not putting me donkey outside when I’m sad. Okay?
  • Pádraic hypothesizes (correctly) that the cause behind Colm's sudden irrational behavior is depression, to which he then states that he could just hide it deep down like everyone else.
  • When Colm confesses to his priest, he confesses about having "impure thoughts". The priest comments that some men have "impure thoughts" about other men, which causes Colm to question if the priest actually has, offending him.
  • Dominic commenting that the worst possible outcome of Colm's threat is that he could still play the fiddle, but with only four fingers.
  • As Colm and Pádraic argue on whether niceness or music lasts longer, Pádraic refutes Colm's claim that everyone knows Mozart, saying he doesn't, going on to mess up Beethoven's name as "Borvoven". To top it off, Siobhan corrects Colm's claim regarding the century of Mozart's impact.
  • While Declan, a music student, hops onto a cart with Pádraic, Pádraic scares him off by lying to him that a bread van crashed onto his father.
  • After Colm composes a tune called "The Banshees of Inisherin", he celebrates by dancing with his dog, only for Pádraic to burst into his house.
    • Pádraic commenting that "nine fingers is the epitome of mental" after questioning Colm if he went mental after cutting off one of his fingers.
    • After Colm says he does not want to tango, Pádraic calls him out by stating that he just danced with his dog.
  • While Paedar is rejoicing about Jenny's death at the bar, Colm decides to punch him.
    • "If punching a policeman is a sin, we may as well just pack up and go home."
  • Early scenes with Dominic tend to be funny due to him being a talkative kid seriously lacking in tact and intelligence and being a general nuisance. He becomes less and less funny as the movie's events wear on...
