A scene from The Quiet Man 1952
Will

What sort of a scoundrel is this Yank? One minute, he's at me sister, and the next it's herself.

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.

Father Lonergan

True, Will, true.

Michaeleen

Mind you, I'm not saying it's too late yet.

Will

What do you mean?

Michaeleen

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

Will

I am.

Michaeleen

A rich propertied man!

Will

And well she knows it.

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.

Will

No!

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.

Will

Father Lonergan?

Father Lonergan

I can´t say it´s true, and I won´t say it´s not. But there's been talk.

Michaeleen

Oh, a lot of talk.

Will

A lot of talk, eh?

Michaeleen

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