Quotes from
Darby O'Gill: The banshee!
Michael McBride: Maybe it's just the wind.
Darby O'Gill: It's the wail of the banshee, the same as I heard the night Katie's mother was taken! She'll be destroyed entirely!
[Katie is about to go after the horse; Michael tries to stop her]
Katie O'Gill: Get out of my way!
Michael McBride: Leave that horse alone.
Katie O'Gill: Do you think I'd stay under your roof another night?
Michael McBride: I'll go to the inn!
Katie O'Gill: You can go to blazes! I'm movin' to the McCarthy house!
Michael McBride: With night comin' down on that mountainside you could get yourself killed! Now give me that halter. I'll get the horse.
[she pulls away, he tries to stop her; she hits him across the face with the halter and runs out after the horse]
[Darby finds Michael unconscious]
Darby O'Gill: [smells alcohol on Michael's shirt, slaps him awake] Is it drunk ye are?
[Michael looks up at him, puzzled; smells his shirt and looks at the bottle in his hand, then rubs the back of his head where he was beaten]
Darby O'Gill: Who did it, lad?
Michael McBride: I don't know, but I can guess.
Darby O'Gill: Where's Katie?
Michael McBride: [worried] She's gone after the horse!
Darby O'Gill: [angrily] Did ye let her go alone, in the dark of the night!
Michael McBride: She was in a terror rage at me! An' sure 'twas your fault for not tellin' her the truth in the first place!
Darby O'Gill: [worried] God forgive me, she'll be chasin' a pooka.

Facts about
When Michael doesn't kiss Katie, King Brian (Jimmy O'Dea) exclaims "And him a Dublin man!" O'Dea was born and raised in Dublin.
The leprechaun effects look very high tech and complicated, but most of them were achieved very simply by placing the "normal sized" actors closer to the camera than the "tiny" ones, and lining them up on the same horizontal plane through the lens so the distance between them could not be detected.
