Two Irish brothers, Murphy and Connor, feel that they've been authorized by God to clean up the underworld. Predictably a lot of blood, gore, and swear words follow. Each Boondock Saints quote given below is representative of the colorful dialogue that abounds in the film.

Connor

"Well, a penny saved is worth two in the bush, isn't it?"

Connor

"You look like Mush-mouth from Fat Albert."

Il Duce

"The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as is needed?"

Monsignor

"And I am reminded, on this holy day, of the sad story of Kitty Genovese. As you all may remember, a long time ago, almost thirty years ago, this poor soul cried out for help time and time again, but no person answered her calls. Though many saw, no one so much as called the police. They all just watched as Kitty was being stabbed to death in broad daylight. They watched as her assailant walked away. Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men."

Murphy

"We're sorta like 7-Eleven. We're not always doing business, but we're always open."

Murphy

"Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace."

Murphy [to a Russian gangster]

"So you're Chekov, huh? Well, this here's McCoy. Find a Spock, we got us an away team."

Paul Smecker

"First of all, I'd like to thank whichever one of you donut-munching, barrel-assed, pud-pulling sissies leaked this to the press. That's all we need now: some sensational story in the papers making these guys out to be superheroes, triumphing over evil."

Paul Smecker

"So Duffy, have any theories to go with that tie?"

Paul Smecker

"You know, you Irish cops are perking up. That's two sound theories in one day, neither of which deal with abnormally-sized men. Kind of makes me feel like Riverdancing."

Rocco

"I'll catch you on the flip side."

Yakavetta

"The 90s are killing me. I shouldn't have done that. You're not supposed to tell a guy you're gonna kill him no more."
