A scene from The Quiet Man 1952
Mary Kate

[After surprising her in his cottage, Sean grabs her and kisses her]

It's a bold one you are. And who gave you leave to be kissin' me?

Sean

So you can talk!

Mary Kate

Yes I can. I will, and I do. And it's more than talk you'll be gettin' if you step a step closer to me.

Sean

Don't worry. You've got a wallop!

Mary Kate

You'll get over it, I'm thinkin'.

Sean

Well, some things a man doesn't get over so easy.

Mary Kate

Like what supposin'?

Sean

Like the sight of a girl comin' through the fields with the sun on her hair. Kneeling in church with a face like a saint.

Mary Kate

Saint indeed!

Sean

And now comin' to a man's house to clean it for him.

Mary Kate

But that was just my way of bein' a good Christian act.

Sean

I know it was, Mary Kate Danaher. And it was nice of you.

Mary Kate

Not at all. [she moves to leave, but then turns back and kisses him]
