Quotes from
Lord Fitzpatrick: Oh I'll not be stoppin' here long enough for that. Where's your father?
Katie O'Gill: Well now, let me see, um... I heard him sayin' somthin' about cuttin' the weeds around the summer house. I think he'll have gone to have the smithy sharpen his scythe. I'll fetch him for ye, your lordship.
Lord Fitzpatrick: Well, that's good of you.
[she runs off to the village]
Lord Fitzpatrick: That Katie's a grand girl. Almost makes up for her father.
Michael McBride: What ails him?
Lord Fitzpatrick: Oh nothin' at all, but he retired about five years ago and didn't tell me about it. He'll be down at the inn now tellin' stories.
King Brian: [original soundtrack] A Phaidrig Óg!
Phadrig Oge: Sea, a thiarna!
King Brian: Faigh an Stradivarius.
Phadrig Oge: Seo chugainn, a thiarna!
Michael McBride: [sees Katie packing] What are you doing?
Katie O'Gill: [shortly] I'm packing. An' if you don't know why, you can read the card.
[Michael reads the card, looks up guiltily]
Katie O'Gill: Why didn't you tell me?
Michael McBride: Your father made me promise that I wouldn't.
Katie O'Gill: [angrily] When are you throwin' us out?
Michael McBride: Oh now, Katie...
Katie O'Gill: *When*?
Michael McBride: Well, today was supposed to have...
Katie O'Gill: You give short notice!
Michael McBride: I don't want you to leave at all!
Katie O'Gill: [angrily] Why not? What does it matter to you if you break an old man's heart? You're a strong young man, you can find work anywhere, but no, you must come here an' take me father's place!
[crying]
Katie O'Gill: No wonder he's chasin' the fairy gold an' him half out of his mind tryin' to keep some little bit of self-respect in the town!
[she shoves a broom into his hands]
Katie O'Gill: Here! You can clean the manor house yourself. It'll be all we can do to move our belonging's out of *your* house this night!
[she turns away]
Michael McBride: [grabs her] Now you listen to me! I don't want your father's job at all, not unless I can have the both of you along with it! I want you to stay here an' be my wife. I love you, Katie, and I think that you love me.
Katie O'Gill: [scornfully] I? Love you?
[she storms out]
