Sean Carmody

Gee, it's gonna be fun. This is the first time I've ever been away from home.

Shearer

Ida Carmody This is a good country for sheep and it's not bad for men, but it's hard on us women. The men come here because of the sheep, and we come here because of the men, and most of us finish up looking like the sheep. Wrinkled faces, knotty hair, and not even much of a mind of our own.
