The point is, it's already done. I own the property now, and as long as we're gonna be neighbors...
Neighbors? Oh, neighbors. NEVER! And if I so much as catch you putting your wet foot on my property...and oh, another thing, you keep away from my sister Mary Kate. She's not for the likes of you.
Where I come from, we don't talk about our women folk in saloons. You sort of make a habit of it.
Get out! Why if he was the last man on the face of this earth, and my sister the last woman, I'd still say no. Hey Yank! I'll count three. And if you're not out of the house by then, I'll loose the dogs on ya.
If you say three, mister, you'll never hear the man count ten.
What sort of a scoundrel is this Yank? One minute, he's at me sister, and the next it's herself.
Well, blame no one but yourself. If you had saved me as your matchmaker, you and the widow would have been married long since.
True, Will, true.
Mind you, I'm not saying it's too late yet.
What do you mean?
Why do you suppose the Widow Tillane has stood you off so long, huh? You're a fine looking man.
I am.
A rich propertied man!
And well she knows it.
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.
No!
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.
Father Lonergan?
I can´t say it´s true, and I won´t say it´s not. But there's been talk.
Oh, a lot of talk.
A lot of talk, eh?
Two women in the house and one of them a redhead.
You know, Yank, I've taken quite a likins to yas.
I'm getting real fond of you too.
Yer widow, me sister, she coulda done a lot worse.
