A scene from The Quiet Man 1952
Mary Kate

I thank you anyway, Sean Thornton, for the asking.

Sean

You don't think this changes anything? It's what you say that counts, not him.

Michaeleen

Now Sean, you've gone too far. That's enough.

Sean

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.

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.
