Take what you can and give nothing back
The movie, which was most enjoyable, featured a line that rang with particular resonance for me. An exchange between two pirates went: “Take what you can and give nothing back.”
In light of the numerous tribunals and political scandals, I felt this line very accurately summed up the state of Irish politics.
