A scene from The Quiet Man 1952
Father Paul

Father Lonergan!

Father Longergan

Shhh...

Father Paul

It's, it's a big fight in the town!

Father Longergan

And there's a big fight in this fish right here.

Father Paul

I'd have put a stop to it, but you see...

Father Longergan

You do that, lad. It's your duty.

Father Paul

But see now, it's Danahar and Shawn Thornton!

Father Longergan

Who?

Father Paul

Danahar and Shawn Thornton!

Father Longergan

Well why the devil didn't you tell me? [Quickly drops fishing rod and runs]
...

Father Paul

[The two priests arrive at the scene of the fight]

Father, shouldn't we put a stop to it now?

Father Longergan

[Smiling, making fighting movements]

Ah, we should lad, yes we should, it's our duty. Yes, it's our duty... [Smiles as a punch is heard]
