Sean:
[about a cottage] Do you think she'd sell it?

Michaeleen:
I doubt it.

Sean:
Don't bet on it, 'cause I'm buyin' it.

Michaeleen:
Now why would a, why would a Yankee from Pittsburgh want to buy it?

Sean:
I'll tell you why Michaeleen Oge Flynn, young small Michael Flynn who used to wipe my runny nose when I was a kid. Because I'm Sean Thornton and I was born in that little cottage over there. And I've come home, and home I'm gonna stay. Now does that answer your questions once and for all, you nosy little man?

Michaeleen:
Seanin Thornton! And look at you now...What do they feed you, all you men who are in Pittsburgh?

Sean:
Steel, Michaleen. Steel and pig iron furnaces so hot a man forgets his fear of hell. When you're hard enough, tough enough, other things, other things Michaeleen.
