Quotes:

Luke: [In response to Malachy's steamy afternoon at Michelle's house] So come on man paint me the picture here what's she like, is she dirty? I bet she's dirty, is she dirty?
Malachy: Man I can't do that, no kiss and tell.
Luke: Come on man I tell you everything. I told you the time Kelly Shiels stuck the finger up my arse.
Malachy: Yes and I did not wish to know that.

Good Rupert Alexander's Second One

The story's been revealed already. Nothing else to say, but that this is not, by a far cry, Rupert's first great dramatic achievement.

Last comment's remarks on his work are a bit "off-colour". It'd be good for all of us viewers to get rid of Rupert's role in the Harry Potter's still unfinished franchise, OK. Watch him alongside Julie Walters in "Driving Lessons" and you'll see what this almost 20-year old "kid" can do... he's been a great actor for a long time! (Driving Lessons was shot while The Goblet of Fire was still rolling cameras!).

So, if there's anything to say about an actor here, it would be really appropriate to watch his whole work before judging it, especially when he's so young. Obviously, I do agree with what is said about his job on Cherrybomb, but Driving Lessons was the door that opened him a whole new world because he did it so well.
