'[after the widow sells her cottage to Sean instead of Will] Good for Widow Tillane...After all, he's [Sean Thornton] got more right to that land than you have.

Will

He'll regret it till his dying day, if he lives that long.

The point is, it's already done. I own the property now, and as long as we're gonna be neighbors...

Will

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.

Will
[in response to Sean's request for Mary Kate's hand in marriage]

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.

Will

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.

Will

What do you mean?

Why do you suppose the Widow Tillane has stood you off so long, huh? You're a fine looking man.

Will

I am.

A rich propertied man!

Will

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.

Will

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.

Will

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.

Will

A lot of talk, eh?

Two women in the house and one of them a redhead.

Will

You know, Yank, I've taken quite a likins to yas.

I'm getting real fond of you too.

Will

Yer widow, me sister, she coulda done a lot worse.
