Quotes

 * "Alms. I said "alms" you backbiter. Give a crippled worker a helping hand."
 * "Bring more gold next time."
 * "Come on, you outsiders always have plenty of gold on you. Spare a piece!"
 * "Finally. Now get lost!" (After you donate to him)
 * "How about a septim? Wait, make that two septims. I feel like living it up."
 * "Tell everyone you see to bring me some septims."


 * Sometimes, he will have this conversation with Cosnach in the Silver-Blood Inn:
 * Cosnach: "So, Degaine, tell us how you got to be crippled."
 * Degaine: "Mining accident, back when I was in prison for being a pickpocket."
 * Cosnach: "You’re lying. You’re not quick enough to be a pickpocket. What’s the real reason?"
 * Degaine: "Fell off the top of the cliff after a drunken party with the priestesses of Dibella."
 * Cosnach: "I don’t buy that story, either."
 * Degaine: "Too bad. That one’s my favorite."

Quests

 * Steal the Dibella Statue from the Temple of Dibella. This can start the "The Heart of Dibella" quest.
 * Quest all Drunks Have

Bugs

 * It is possible he becomes bugged and you cannot speak with him about stealing Dibella's Statue. If this happens, go to the Temple of Dibella, steal the statue for him, and then bring it to him. When you do this, both that objective and the objective that you would have gotten from speaking to him will both be completed.
 * After giving the statue to Degaine, it may not appear in his inventory.
 * Sometimes when talking to Degaine after obtaining the statue, the quest will not complete and the statue will remain in the Dragonborn's inventory.
 * It is possible to ask for the quest again at the Silver-Blood Inn but Degaine will not have the speech option to start the quest, thus leaving the misc. quest stuck in your quest list.
 * If Degaine is killed after starting the quest, "Steal the Statue of Dibella", the quest will not fail. If the statue has already been stolen, it will remain stuck as a quest item can not be removed from the inventory.
 * The solution to this is to use the console command
