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.
