“what do you know about living in a rabbit hutch with concrete floors and your old man’s never in and you’re left trying to have a conversation with the TV and a maw that think’s you’re St.Thomas Aquinas”
Even though Phil is left at the end of the play as unemployed and has not gotten into the GSofA he still remains optimistic about what the future holds for him as he remembers this
“Giotto was a slab boy”
Phil has a lack of respect for his superior Curry as he responds to Curry’s orders with
“Chirpy this morning, eh?”

“Jack you wouldn’t know a good design from a plate of canteen plate”
He threatens Hector with a knife if he doesn’t keep quiet
“One more sound and I swear before the Virgin Mary I’ll come in there and slice your beans off!”
