[about a cottage]
Do you think she'd sell it?
Don't bet on it, 'cause I'm buyin' it.
M Michaeleen
Now why would a, why would a Yankee from Pittsburgh want to buy it?
I'll tell you why Michaeleen Oge Flynn, young small Michael Flynn who used to wipe my runny nose when I was a kid. Because I'm Sean Thornton and I was born in that little cottage over there. And I've come home, and home I'm gonna stay. Now does that answer your questions once and for all, you nosy little man?
M Michaeleen
Seanin Thornton! And look at you now...What do they feed you, all you men who are in Pittsburgh?
Steel, Michaleen. Steel and pig iron furnaces so hot a man forgets his fear of hell. When you're hard enough, tough enough, other things, other things Michaeleen.
[after first seeing Mary Kate, tending sheep in a meadow]
Hey, is that real? She couldn't be.
M Michaeleen
Oh nonsense, man. It's only a mirage brought on by your terrible thirst.
I thank you anyway, Sean Thornton, for the asking.
You don't think this changes anything? It's what you say that counts, not him.
M Michaeleen
Now Sean, you've gone too far. That's enough.
Say, what is this? We're gonna get married. Aren't we? [She turns away, dejected, and runs upstairs to her room] I don't get it.
M Michaeleen
This is Ireland, Sean, not America. Without a brother's consent, she couldn't and wouldn't. I'm sorry for both of ya.
What sort of a scoundrel is this Yank? One minute, he's at me sister, and the next it's herself.
M Michaeleen
Well, blame no one but yourself. If you had saved me as your matchmaker, you and the widow would have been married long since.
M Michaeleen
Mind you, I'm not saying it's too late yet.
M Michaeleen
Why do you suppose the Widow Tillane has stood you off so long, huh? You're a fine looking man.
M Michaeleen
A rich propertied man!
M Michaeleen
What woman would come into the house with another woman in it? If you got rid of Mary Kate, the widow would have been in like a shot.
M Michaeleen
Yes. You had your chance and you flubbed it. You refused Seanin Thornton and he reneged on ya. Now I doubt if he'd take your sister if you put a thousand pounds on her.
I can´t say it´s true, and I won´t say it´s not. But there's been talk.
M Michaeleen
Oh, a lot of talk.
M Michaeleen
Two women in the house and one of them a redhead.
