WELL, THEN.

AHEM. NOW...

I'LL BEGIN AT THE BEGINNING.

A FINE, SOFT DAY IN THE SPRING IT WAS

WHEN THE TRAIN PULLED INTO CASTLETOWN,

THREE HOURS LATE AS USUAL,

AND HIMSELF GOT OFF.

HE DIDN'T HAVE THE LOOK

OF AN AMERICAN TOURIST AT ALL ABOUT HIM.

NOT A CAMERA ON HIM.

WHAT WAS WORSE, NOT EVEN A FISHING ROD.

CASTLETOWN!

CASTLETOWN.

COULD YOU TELL ME THE WAY TO INISFREE?

INISFREE? 5 MILES AND MAYBE A HALF MORE.

DO YOU SEE THAT ROAD THERE?

YEAH. DON'T THAT ONE.

IT WILL DO YOU NO GOOD.

THE BEST ROAD...

IT'S INISFREE YOU WANT?

BE SAVING YOUR BREATH.

LET ME DIRECT THE GENTLEMAN.

HAPPEN YOU KNOW THE WAY TO NOCCANORE?

IF HE KNEW THE WAY TO NOCCANORE,

WOULD HE ASK THE WAY TO INISFREE?

MANY KNOWS NOCCANORE THAT DOESN'T KNOW INISFREE.

IF YOU STUDIED YOUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY, YOU'D ADMIT IT.

DON'T SEND THE POOR MAN TO NOCCANORE.

THE FISHING'S FINISHED THERE ENTIRELY.

TELL ME, YANK,

WHAT IS IT YOU'RE AFTER...

TROUT OR SALMON?

ALL I WANT IS TO GET TO INISFREE.

NOW YOU'RE TALKING SENSE.

THE BEST FISHING IN THE COUNTRY.

TRUE FOR YOU, MR. COSTELLO.

TROUT AS LONG AS YOUR ARM. AND SALMON!

MY LAST ONE, I EXPECTED JONAH TO POP OUT.

AH, INISFREE. I'D BRING YOU THERE MESELF,

ONLY I'VE GOT TO DRIVE THE TRAIN.

WAS I TELLING YOU ABOUT THAT TROUT

I GOT TWO SUNDAYS AGO?

YOU DID. AT INISFREE?

NOT AT ALL, NOT AT ALL.

AT BALLYGAR, AT THE OTHER END OF THE COUNTRY.

ME SISTER'S THIRD YOUNG ONE

IS LIVING AT INISFREE,

AND SHE'D BE ONLY TOO HAPPY TO SHOW YOU THE ROAD.

OH, FINE.

IF... IF SHE WAS HERE.

IT'S INISFREE THE MAN WANTS TO GO TO.

DO YOU SEE THAT SIGN POST WITH THE LONG ARM POINTING?

YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN TURNED ABOUT.

I KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT.

YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN TURNED ABOUT.

I WAS COMING TO THAT.

I KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT.

INISFREE, THIS WAY.

I WONDER NOW WHY A MAN WOULD GO TO INISFREE.

6' 6".

4 1/2.

CINCINNATI.

NOPE. PITTSBURGH.

YEAH, PITTSBURGH, YES.

DON'T YOU REMEMBER IT, SEANEEN, AND HOW IT WAS?

THE ROAD LED UP PAST THE CHAPEL,

AND IT WOUND AND IT WOUND,

AND THERE WAS THE FIELD

WHERE DAN TOBIN'S BULL CHASED YOU.

IT WAS A LOVELY LITTLE HOUSE, SEANEEN.

AND THE ROSES!

OH, YOUR FATHER USED TO TEASE ME ABOUT THEM,

BUT HE WAS THAT PROUD OF THEM, TOO.

AH, THAT'S NOTHING BUT A WEE HUMBLE COTTAGE.

THAT LITTLE PLACE ACROSS THE BROOK, THAT HUMBLE COTTAGE,

WHO OWNS IT NOW?

THE WIDOW TILLANE. NOT THAT SHE LIVES THERE.

THINK SHE'D SELL IT? I DOUBT IT.

DON'T BET ON IT, 'CAUSE I'M BUYING IT.

NOW, WHY WOULD A YANKEE FROM PITTSBURGH

WANT TO BUY IT?

I'LL TELL YOU WHY,

MICHAELEEN OGE FLYNN...

YOUNG, SMALL MICHAEL FLYNN

WHO WIPED MY 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 GOING TO STAY.

NOW, DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS ONCE AND FOR ALL,

YOU NOSY LITTLE MAN?

SEANEEN THORNTON!

AND LOOK AT YOU NOW.

SAINTS PRESERVE US,

WHAT DO THEY FEED YOU IRISHMEN IN PITTSBURGH?

STEEL, MICHAEL OGE,

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.

NOW THEN, HERE COMES MYSELF.

THAT'S ME THERE, WALKING,

THAT TALL, SAINTLY-LOOKING MAN...

PETER LONERGAN, PARISH PRIEST.

WHOA.

GOOD DAY, FATHER.

SEAN, THIS IS FATHER LONERGAN.

FATHER, WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT,

THIS IS SEAN THORNTON, BORN RIGHT HERE IN INISFREE,

HOME FROM AMERICA?

HELLO, FATHER.

AH, YES.

I KNEW YOUR PEOPLE, SEAN.

YOUR GRANDFATHER.

HE DIED IN AUSTRALIA...

IN A PENAL COLONY.

YOUR FATHER, HE WAS A GOOD MAN, TOO.

BAD ACCIDENT, THAT.

YOUR MOTHER?

SHE'S DEAD.

AMERICA, WHEN I WAS 12.

I'LL REMEMBER HER IN THE MASS TOMORROW, SEAN.

YOU'LL BE THERE, 7:00?

SURE, I WILL.

GOOD.

SEAN, I'D LIKE TO HAVE A WORD WITH MICHAELEEN HERE.

OH, SURE THING, FATHER.

IT WILL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE. A MATTER...

TAKE YOUR TIME. I'LL BE UP AHEAD.

SEAN!

HEY, IS THAT REAL?

SHE COULDN'T BE.

AH, NONSENSE, MAN.

IT'S ONLY A MIRAGE BROUGHT ON BY YOUR TERRIBLE THIRST.

COME UP, NAPOLEON.

OVER HERE WE PRONOUNCE IT

CO HAN.

GOOD MORNING.

NONE OF THAT, NOW. NONE OF THAT.

IT'S A BOLD, SINFUL MAN YOU ARE, SEAN THORNTON.

AND WHO TAUGHT YOU TO BE PLAYING PATTY FINGERS IN THE HOLY WATER?

BEING POLITE IS ALL.

POLITE, IS IT?

IT'S A PRIVILEGE RESERVED FOR COURTING COUPLES

AFTER THE BANNS HAS BEEN READ.

AND MARY KATE DANAHER DIPPING HER FINGERS IN

AS NEAT AS YOU PLEASE.

WHAT DID YOU SAY HER NAME WAS?

MARY KATE DANAHER.

AND DON'T BE GETTING ANY NOTIONS INTO YOUR HEAD.

MARY KATE.

FORGET IT, SEAN.

PUT IT OUT OF YOUR MIND ENTIRELY.

WHY, WHAT'S THE MATTER?

SHE ISN'T MARRIED OR ANYTHING?

MARRIED? THAT ONE?

NOT LIKELY,

AND HER WITH HER FRECKLES AND HER TEMPER.

OH, THAT RED HEAD OF HERS IS NO LIE.

STILL, A MAN MIGHT PUT UP WITH THAT,

BUT NOT WITH A LACK OF A FORTUNE.

THE WEALTHIEST WOMAN IN INISFREE

WAS THE WIDOW TILLANE.

SHE HAD NEITHER CHICK NOR CHILD, POOR SOUL,

BUT SHE WAS WELL-RESPECTED AND GOOD TO THE POOR.

SO YOU WERE BORN THERE?

YES, MA'AM.

ALL THE THORNTONS WERE BORN THERE,

SEVEN GENERATIONS OF THEM.

I SEE.

AND WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHT, MR. THORNTON?

ARE YOU PLANNING TO TURN WHITE O' MORNIN'

INTO A NATIONAL SHRINE?

WHAT? PERHAPS CHARGE TUPPENCE A VISIT

FOR A TOUR THROUGH THE LITTLE COTTAGE

WHERE ALL THE THORNTONS WERE BORN?

ARE YOU A MAN OF SUCH EMINENCE? NOT EXACTLY.

MY OWN FAMILY HAS BEEN IN IRELAND

SINCE THE NORMANS CAME, SOME HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO,

BUT WE'VE SEEN NO REASON TO ESTABLISH

MONUMENTS OR MEMORIALS.

LOOK, MRS. TILLANE,

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT MEMORIALS OR MONUMENTS.

IT'S JUST THAT EVER SINCE I WAS A KID

LIVING IN THE SHACK NEAR THE SLAG HEAPS,

MY MOTHER'S TOLD ME ABOUT INISFREE

AND WHITE O' MORN.

INISFREE HAS BECOME ANOTHER WORD FOR HEAVEN TO ME.

WHEN I QUIT THE R...

WHEN I DECIDED TO COME HERE,

IT WAS WITH ONE THOUGHT IN MIND.

INISFREE IS FAR FROM HEAVEN.

MA'AM, MR. "RED" WILL DANAHER WISHES TO BE ANNOUNCED...

I MEAN, SQUIRE DANAHER.

WIPE YOUR MUDDY BOOTS.

MRS. TILLANE...

MR. THORNTON, FROM AMERICA.

AH! BOO!

IT'S HIM I'M HERE ABOUT, MRS. TILLANE.

IS IT TRUE? IS WHAT TRUE?

THAT BEHIND ME BACK

HE'S TRYING TO STEAL WHITE O' MORN

FROM UNDER ME NOSE?

AND WHAT CONCERN OF YOURS IS THIS, WILL DANAHER?

CONCERN? CONCERN ENOUGH.

HAVEN'T I MADE YOU A GOOD, FAIR OFFER FOR THAT LAND?

AND MINE, LYING RIGHT NEXT TO YOURS.

YOU MAY KEEP YOUR OFFERS.

OH, SO IT'S TRUE.

YOU'VE SOLD IT! NO, I HAVE NOT.

I KNEW IT WAS A DIRTY LIE

THE VERY MINUTE I HEARD IT.

SURE, I SAID TO HIM,

"PACKY McFARLANE, YOU'LL NEVER MAKE ME BELIEVE

"THAT SARAH TILLANE WILL SELL WHITE O' MORN.

"IT WOULD BE LIKE BUILDING A FENCE

"BETWEEN YOUR LAND AND MINE.

AND FOR A STRANGER TO MOVE IN," SAYS I.

"AND WHAT WOULD SHE BE DOING THAT FOR?

"AND US SO CLOSE TO AN UNDERSTANDING, YOU MIGHT SAY."

YOU TOLD HIM ALL THAT?

THAT I DID.

AT THE PUB, I SUPPOSE,

IN FRONT OF THOSE BIG EARS

WITH PINTS IN THEIR FISTS

AND PIPES IN THEIR MOUTHS.

YOU MAY HAVE THE LAND, MR. THORNTON,

FOR £600.

DONE! NO, YOU CAN'T!

610.

AS I REMEMBER, MRS. TILLANE, YOU SAID £700.

SEE HERE, LITTLE MAN!

710!

HOW ABOUT AN EVEN 1,000?

1,000 AND... AND...

AND...

AND I'LL BE SAYING GOOD DAY TO YOU, MRS. TILLANE,

AND ALL HERE BUT ONE.

AND I'VE GOT YOU DOWN IN MY BOOK.

MY DAD REMEMBERS HIS DAD WELL...

MIKE THORNTON.

HE HAD SHOULDERS ON HIM LIKE AN OX.

I SAW HIM MESELF THIS MORNING...

A TALL, HANDSOME MAN...

AS I WAS PASSING THE CHAPEL.

IF YOU PASS THE PUB AS FAST AS THE CHAPEL,

YOU'D BE BETTER OFF, YOU LITTLE SQUINT.

JUST LOOK AT THEM,

EATING ME OUT OF HOUSE AND HOME!

GET BACK TO THE FIELDS!

ALL OF YOU! THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE!

ISN'T IT A BIT EARLY IN THE DAY FOR THE BOTTLE,

EVEN FOR YOU?

FEENEY, GET YOUR BOOK OUT.

SET DOWN THE NAME OF ONE SEAN THORNTON.

OH! LOOK AT ME CLEAN FLOOR!

YOU DIRTY THING!

OH, SHUT YOUR GOB!

I'LL SHUT YOU, ME LITTLE MAN!

HERE, CLEAN IT YOURSELF,

OR THERE WON'T BE ANY DINNER

IN THIS HOUSE TONIGHT!

THERE NOW, ISN'T THAT GRAND?

ISN'T IT GRAND NOW?

LOOK, YOU MUSN'T MIND HIMSELF THIS DAY, MARY KATE.

THAT'S ALL THE WORK YOU'RE GOOD FOR,

YOU LITTLE TATTLETALE.

FEENEY, HAVE YOU WRITTEN THE NAME I GIVE YOU?

I HAVE.

WELL THEN, STRIKE A LINE THROUGH IT.

DEATH FOR HIM.

SEAN THORNTON.

SO... HE BOUGHT WHITE O' MORN IN SPITE OF YOU.

GOOD FOR WIDOW TILLANE!

PAY NO ATTENTION TO HER AT ALL, SQUIRE DANAHER.

TAKE NO NOTICE OF HER.

YOU DO AND THERE WILL BE

A FINE WAKE IN THIS HOUSE TONIGHT.

AFTER ALL, HE'S GOT MORE RIGHT TO THAT LAND THAN YOU HAVE.

HE'LL REGRET IT TO HIS DYING DAY,

IF EVER HE LIVES THAT LONG.

THINK IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT

IF I LEAVE MY BAGS HERE?

I IMAGINE THEY'LL BE SAFE ENOUGH.

IF YOU SEE A LITTLE GUY NAMED MICHAELEEN FLYNN,

WILL YOU TELL HIM I'M WAITING IN THE BAR?

IT WOULD BE A PLEASURE,

ESPECIALLY FOR MICHAELEEN FLYNN. THANKS.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE NOW, YANK?

IF I THINK OF ANYTHING,

I'LL... I'LL LET YOU KNOW.

GOOD EVENING.

PLEASANT NIGHT.

I'LL TRY ONE OF THOSE BLACK BEERS.

AH, THE PORTER. YES, SIR.

SIR, WILL YOU JOIN ME?

IN FACT, I'D LIKE TO BUY EVERYBODY A DRINK.

I DO NOT BELIEVE I HEARD YOUR NAME, TALL MAN.

THORNTON. SEAN THORNTON.

AND, UH, YOUR FATHER'S NAME?

MIKE. MICHAEL THORNTON.

HE USED TO LIVE HERE.

WHITE O' MORNIN'.

I JUST BOUGHT THE PLACE BACK.

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

THEN YOUR GRANDFATHER WOULD BE OLD SEAN THORNTON.

RIGHT. BLESS HIS MEMORY.

SO IT'S HIMSELF YOU'RE NAMED AFTER.

WELL NOW, THAT BEING THE CASE,

IT IS A PLEASANT EVENING,

AND WE WILL HAVE A DRINK!

OH, GOOD EVENING, FATHER.

IS THE REST OF THE COMMITTEE HERE?

THEY'RE WAITING.

I'M SORRY WE'RE LATE.

OH, MICHAELEEN. COMMANDANT FORBES.

YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT THE COMMANDANT.

WE'RE AT PEACE NOW, MAN.

TRUE, BUT I HAVEN'T GIVEN UP HOPE.

YOUR YANKEE FRIEND IS WAITING IN THE BAR.

OH, IS HE HERE ALREADY?

WAIT A MINUTE, MICHAELEEN. WHO IS HE, ANYWAY?

WELL, HE'S A NICE, QUIET, PEACE-LOVING MAN

COME HOME TO IRELAND TO FORGET HIS TROUBLES.

TROUBLES?

SURE, YES, YES.

HE'S A MILLIONAIRE, LIKE ALL THE YANKS,

WAIT TILL I SHOW YOU.

WELL, WHAT IS IT?

IT'S A BAG TO SLEEP IN.

A SLEEPING BAG, HE CALLS IT.

SEAN THORNTON,

THE MEN OF INISFREE BID YOU WELCOME HOME.

THANK YOU.

HA HA HA.

"AND THE MEN OF INISFREE BID YOU WELCOME HOME."

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT LITTLE SPEECH, FEENEY?

YOU'D BE KNOWING WHAT, SQUIRE.

I'M A MAN FROM INISFREE...

AND THE BEST MAN,

AND I BID NO WELCOME TO ANY MAN FOOL ENOUGH

TO PAY £1,000 FOR A BIT OF LAND

THAT ISN'T WORTH 200.

TRUE FOR YOU, SQUIRE.

DIDN'T I HEAR OF SOMEONE NAMED DANAHER

BIDDING TO 810? HUH?

GET YOUR BOOK OUT.

PUT HIS NAME DOWN.

DERMOT FAHEY.

F-A-H-Y.

NO "E," SQUIREEN DANAHER.

IF YOU WERE HALF THE MAN YOU THINK,

YOU WOULDN'T BEGRUDGE A THORNTON HIS BIRTHPLACE.

AND THAT'S MY OPINION.

HE'S NEVER WORKED THAT LAND.

IT'S THORNTON LAND.

YOU'VE TOO MUCH OF YOUR OWN AS IT IS.

QUIET, IF YOU PLEASE.

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE.

SQUIRE DANAHER HAS THE FLOOR.

IF I HAD THE FLOOR...

I'D HIT THAT BIG APE WITH IT.

HOLD ON.

I DON'T BLAME MR. DANAHER

FOR GETTING ON HIS EAR.

WHO'S ON HIS EAR?

YOU AND 10 DOLTINS

COULDN'T PUT THE DANAHER ON HIS EAR.

IT'S A WAY OF SPEAKING...

MIND YOUR WAYS, THEN.

THE POINT IS, IT'S ALREADY DONE.

I OWN THE PROPERTY NOW.

AS LONG AS WE'RE NEIGHBORS...

NEIGHBORS? HO HO.

NEIGHBORS.

NEVER!

AND IF I SO MUCH AS CATCH YOU

PUTTING A WET FOOT ON MY PROPERTY, I'LL... I...

OH, ANOTHER THING... YOU KEEP AWAY FROM MY SISTER MARY KATE.

SHE'S NOT FOR THE LIKES OF YOU.

WHERE I COME FROM,

WE DON'T DISCUSS OUR WOMENFOLK IN SALOONS.

YOU MAKE A HABIT OF IT.

THIS MORNING IT WAS WIDOW TILLANE.

WHAT'S THAT? THAT'S TRUE.

IT'S ASHAMED YOU SHOULD BE.

I'M NOT ACCUSING MARY KATE...

IT'S HIM!

THIS VERY MORN, LET HIM DENY IT IF HE CAN,

AT THE BACK OF THE CHAPEL,

HE TOOK LIBERTIES HE SHOULDN'T HAVE.

I SAID GOOD MORNING TO HER.

BUT IT WAS GOOD NIGHT YOU HAD ON YOUR MIND.

THAT'S A LIE.

THAT'S A WHAT?

I SAID THAT'S A LIE.

THAT'S A WORD I TAKE FROM NO MAN!

PUT UP YOUR FISTS!

I'M NOT GOING TO FIGHT YOU.

I'M GOING TO FIGHT YOU!

HA HA HA HA!

THANK YOU.

TAKE IT EASY, DANAHER.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?

AW, HE'S DRUNK.

FEENEY, TAKE HIM HOME. COME, SQUIRE.

DON'T SOIL YOUR KNUCKLES ON THE MAN.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

NEVER.

TAKE THE MAN'S HAND,

OR I'LL READ YOUR NAME IN THE MASS ON SUNDAY. TAKE IT.

I'LL JOIN THE CHURCH OF IRELAND FIRST. AS IF THEY'D HAVE YOU.

SHAKE HANDS WITH HIM. GO ON.

SHAKE HANDS. SHAKE HANDS.

IT'S A GOOD GRIP YOU HAVE, DANAHER.

I ALWAYS HATED A FLABBY HANDSHAKE MYSELF.

COME ON.

FATHER PAUL.

MICHAELEEN, INTRODUCE ME

TO THIS QUIET, PEACE-LOVING MAN OF YOURS.

I HAVE A STRANGE NOTION

WE'RE GOING TO BE FRIENDS, YANK.

GIVE ME A MINUTE

JUST LET SOME BLOOD RUN BACK INTO THIS THING.

SEAN THORNTON...

HIS GRANDFATHER... OH, A GRAND MAN HE WAS...

WAS HUNG IN AUSTRALIA.

OOH, I COULD TELL YOU

BLOOD-CURDLING STORIES ABOUT HIM,

BUT ME THROAT'S GONE DRY.

AH, GO ON UP THERE.

♪ HE WAS BORN ♪

ARE YOU SURE YOU WON'T CHANGE YOUR MIND, SEAN,

AND COME ALONG HOME WITH ME?

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

GOT MY SLEEPING BAG, HAVEN'T I?

WELL, IT'S A NICE SOFT NIGHT,

SO I THINK I'LL GO AND JOIN ME COMRADES

AND TALK A LITTLE TREASON.

GOOD NIGHT, SEAN.

GOOD NIGHT, MICHAELEEN.

GOD BLESS YOU.

YEEE-OH!

AAH!

IT'S A BOLD ONE YOU ARE.

AND WHO GAVE YOU LEAVE TO BE KISSING ME?

SO YOU CAN TALK.

YES, I CAN, I WILL, AND I DO.

AND IT'S MORE THAN TALK YOU'LL BE GETTING IF YOU STEP CLOSER!

DON'T WORRY. YOU GOT A WALLOP. YOU'LL GET OVER IT.

SOME THINGS A MAN DOESN'T GET OVER SO EASY.

LIKE WHAT, SUPPOSING?

LIKE THE SIGHT OF A GIRL

COMING THROUGH THE FIELDS

WITH THE SUN ON HER HAIR,

KNEELING IN CHURCH

WITH A FACE LIKE A SAINT.

A SAINT INDEED.

AND NOW COMING TO A MAN'S HOUSE

TO CLEAN IT FOR HIM.

BUT THAT WAS JUST MY WAY

OF BEING A GOOD CHRISTIAN ACT.

I KNOW IT WAS, MARY KATE DANAHER,

AND IT WAS NICE OF YOU.

NOT AT ALL.

HELLO.

GOOD MORNING, MR. THORNTON.

HOW ARE YOU, FA... UH, DR...

NO, NO. MISTER.

AND ON FORMAL OCCASIONS,

THE REVEREND MR. PLAYFAIR.

AND THIS IS MRS. PLAYFAIR.

WELL, MR. THORNTON.

YOU ARE A WONDER.

IT LOOKS THE WAY ALL IRISH COTTAGES SHOULD

AND SO SELDOM DO.

AND ONLY AN AMERICAN

WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF EMERALD GREEN.

RED IS MORE DURABLE.

AND THE ROSES... HOW NICE.

YOU'LL NEEDS LOTS AND LOTS OF HORSE MANURE...

FERTILIZER, I MEAN. HORSE IS THE BEST.

OH, I BROUGHT YOU A PLANT.

YOU KNOW,

"A PRIMROSE BY A RIVER'S BRINK..."

BRIM, NOT BRINK.

THE NEXT LINE ENDS IN "HYMN."

POETS ARE SO SILLY, AREN'T THEY?

OH, I HOPE YOU'RE NOT ONE, MR. THORNTON.

OH, NO, MA'AM. I...

THORNTON.

THERE'S A FAMILIAR RING TO IT.

RING TO IT.

THORNTON.

COMMON NAME.

THANK YOU FOR THE PLANT, MRS. PLAYFAIR.

THIS IS DA... DARN... AWFULLY NICE OF YOU.

OH?

IT'S A BED.

EXCUSE ME.

MORNING.

THAT'S A FINE BIG BED YOU HAVE, MR. THORNTON.

BIGGEST ONE I COULD FIND.

IS THAT A BED OR A... OR A PARADE GROUND?

A MAN WOULD HAVE TO BE A SPRINTER

TO CATCH HIS WIFE IN A BED LIKE THAT.

WHOA.

WHOO!

WELL...

MR. FLYNN.

AND WHAT ARE YOU ALL DRESSED UP FOR,

MICHAELEEN OGE?

"I HAVE..."

"I HAVE COME..."

OH, I CAN SEE THAT.

BUT FROM WHOSE PUB WAS IT?

PUB? PUB?

YOU'VE A TONGUE LIKE AN ADDER.

I'VE A GOOD MIND TO GO ABOUT ME OWN BUSINESS

AND TELL THORN SHORNTON

HE'S WELL OFF WITHOUT YOU.

WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT WAS THAT?

WELL, WILL YOU LISTEN THEN

AND NOT BE INTERRUPTING THE SHUAGRAUN.

THE MATCHMAKER.

"I HAVE COME...

"AT THE REQUEST...

OF TAUN SHORNTON..."

SEAN THORNTON.

SHUT UP.

"BACHELOR AND PARTY OF THE FIRST PART..."

"TO ASK IF YOU, UH..."

STRICTLY INFORMALLY MIND YOU...

EH...

"MARY KATE DANAHER, SPINSTER...

AND PARTY TO THE SECOND PART..."

WELL?

GO ON. YOU WERE SAYING?

GOSH, ME... ME MOUTH IS LIKE A DRY CRUST,

AND THE SUN IS THAT HOT ON ME PATE.

I...

WOULD YOU BE STEPPING INTO THE PARLOR?

THE HOUSE MAY BELONG TO MY BROTHER,

BUT WHAT'S IN THE PARLOR BELONGS TO ME.

I WILL, THEN.

AND I HOPE THERE'S A BOTTLE THERE,

WHOEVER IT BELONGS TO.

IT COULD BE.

YOU'VE A FINE STEADY HAND.

TO A GOOD BARGAINING.

TO RESUME.

THE PARTY OF THE FIRST PART... THAT'S HIM.

HAS INSTRUCTED ME TO INQUIRE

BEFORE ENTERING INTO FORMAL NEGOTIATIONS

WHETHER THE PARTY TO THE SECOND PART... THAT'S ME.

THINKS KINDLY OF THE GENERAL IDEA,

OR IN HIS OWN WORDS, UH...

AMERICAN, UH, YEAH, YEAH, YES.

HE WANTS TO KNOW IF YOU GO FOR IT.

GO FOR IT?

AND IF YOU DO, I'LL SPEAK TO YOUR BROTHER.

OH. THAT WON'T BE EASY.

AS WELL I KNOW IT.

HE'D AS SOON PUT HIS FIST IN ME TEETH

AS BID ME THE TIME OF THE DAY.

WHAT DID SEAN... I MEAN,

THE PARTY OF THE FIRST PART

SAY ABOUT ME FORTUNE?

HE SAYS HE DOESN'T GIVE IT...

HE SAYS IT'S A MATTER OF COMPLETE INDIFFERENCE TO HIM.

HE DID?

HE SAYS HE DOESN'T GIVE A...

HE SAYS IT'S ALL ONE TO HIM

IF YOU COME IN THE CLOTHES ON YOUR BACK

OR WITHOUT THEM, FOR THAT MATTER.

OH.

OH, HE DID, DID HE?

WELL. A FINE OPINION HE MUST HAVE OF ME

IF HE THINKS I'D GO TO ANY MAN

WITHOUT A PROPER FORTUNE.

THIS YOU MAY TELL YOUR MISTER PARTY OF THE FIRST PART...

THAT WHEN I WED, WHATEVER'S MY OWN GOES WITH ME.

GET UP, LITTLE MAN.

ALL THIS FURNITURE'S MINE,

AND I HAVE THAT CHINA AND LINEN

AND £50 IN GOLD MY FATHER LEFT ME

AND MY MOTHER'S RINGS AND BROOCHES

AND MY GRANDMOTHER'S WEDDING VEIL

AND HER SILVER COMBS AND BUCKLES AND...

£30 ODD IN NOTES AND SILVER

I'VE EARNED THIS PAST 15 YEARS. THAT'S ALL.

HEH HEH. YOU'RE A WELL-PROPERTIED WOMAN.

I WOULDN'T MIND MARRYING YOU MESELF.

WHERE... WHERE DID YOU LEAVE THE BOTTLE?

AND I'D HAVE YOU TELL HIM THAT I'M NO PAUPER

TO BE GOING TO HIM IN MY SHIFT.

I SAID LEAVE THE ROOM. YES, WILL.

SIT DOWN, SIT DOWN.

A GRACIOUS INVITATION

BUT THANK YOU, NO.

I DON'T SUPPOSE THERE'S A DROP OF ANYTHING WET

HELP YOURSELF TO THE BUTTERMILK.

BUTTERMILK. SHHEE!

WE'LL, UH, COME, WITH YOUR PERMISSION,

YOU'VE, UH, NOTICED, I PRESUME,

THAT I'M, UH, WEARING MY OFFICIAL BLACK COAT.

I HAVE. FOR YOUR DEAD FRIEND HERE?

I'LL NEED NO SHUAGRAUN

TO ARRANGE ANY MARRIAGES FOR ME.

YOU'VE BEEN MAKING FINE PROGRESS

WITH THE WIDOW TILLANE, THEN,

IN THE LAST 10 YEARS, HUH?

OH. THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE.

NO. I'VE COME TO TALK ABOUT MARY KATE AND HIM.

GET OUT. IF HE WAS THE LAST MAN ON EARTH,

I'D STILL SAY NO.

NOW, JUST A MINUTE.

IF IT'S A QUESTION OF THE GIRL'S FORTUNE...

FORTUNE. IF IT WAS BUT A SHILLING PIECE

HE WANTED WITH HER, I'D STILL SAY NO.

MICHAELEEN, THIS IS DOING NO GOOD.

I'LL EXPLAIN IT TO HER MYSELF.

HEY, YANK. I'LL COUNT 3.

IF YOU'RE NOT OUT OF HERE BY THEN,

I'LL LOOSE THE DOGS ON YOU.

IF YOU SAY 3, YOU'LL NEVER HEAR THE MAN COUNT TEN.

WELL, MARY KATE, HE...

WE TRIED.

WE'LL SEE HIM AGAIN SOME OTHER TIME.

I THANK YOU ANYWAY, SEAN THORNTON,

FOR THE ASKING.

YOU DON'T THINK THIS CHANGES ANYTHING?

IT'S WHAT YOU SAY THAT COUNTS, NOT HIM.

NOW, SEAN, YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR. THAT'S ENOUGH.

SAY, WHAT IS THIS?

WE'RE GOING TO GET MARRIED. AREN'T WE?

I DON'T GET IT.

THIS IS IRELAND, SEAN, NOT AMERICA.

WITHOUT HER BROTHER'S CONSENT,

SHE COULDN'T AND WOULDN'T.

I'M SORRY FOR BOTH OF YOU.

HYAH! HYAH!

HYAH, HYAH!

AH, THOSE WERE THE BAD DAYS...

SEAN WITH A FACE

A FINE ILL-TEMPERED PAIR THEY WERE.

WE KNEW THINGS COULDN'T GO ON THIS WAY.

EASY, SEAN!

OH, MUSHA, MUSHA.

HELLO, MARY KATE...

DANAHER.

GOOD MORNING...

SEAN THORNTON.

SO WE FORMED A LITTLE CONSPIRACY...

THE REVEREND MR. AND MRS. PLAYFAIR,

MICHAELEEN OGE, AND... SAINTS FORGIVE US...

MYSELF.

AND ON THE DAY OF THE INISFREE RACES,

WE SPRUNG THE TRAP ON "RED" WILL DANAHER.

THANK YOU.

GOOD LUCK. GOOD LUCK.

THANK YOU.

LADIES...

GENTLEMEN...

YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE.

WILL ALL THE LOVELY LADIES

WHO ARE PUTTING UP THEIR BONNETS

FOR THE INISFREE CUP,

PLEASE PLACE THEIR BONNETS

ON THE FINISHING LINE?

LADIES...

YOUR BONNETS, PLEASE.

WILL YOU NOT BE PUTTING UP YOUR BONNET, MARY KATE?

INDEED I WILL NOT. NO?

NO.

OK, MICHAELEEN. THE WIDOW'S BONNET.

WILL ALL THE GENTLEMEN RIDERS

PLEASE GO TO THE STARTING LINE?

ALL RIDERS, PLEASE.

I'M GIVING 20-TO-1 ON THE YANK!

20-TO-1...

I'M GIVING 30-TO-1 ON DAN...

40-TO-1 ON DANAHER! 40...

FLYNN!

IF YOU'VE BEEN DOING ANY MATCHMAKING

BETWEEN THORNTON AND ME WIDOW,

I'LL PUT YOU IN ME BOOK.

AH, SO YOU'VE HEARD, HUH?

FATHER LONERGAN,

WHAT SORT OF A SCOUNDREL IS THIS YANK?

ONE MINUTE 'TIS ME SISTER,

AND THE NEXT IT'S HERSELF.

WELL, BLAME NO ONE BUT YOURSELF.

IF YOU'D RETAINED ME AS MATCHMAKER,

YOU AND THE WIDOW

WOULD HAVE BEEN MARRIED LONG SINCE.

TRUE, WILL.

MIND YOU, I'M NOT SAYING IT'S TOO LATE YET.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE THE WIDOW TILLANE

HAS STOOD YOU OFF SO LONG, HUH?

YOU'RE A FINE-LOOKING MAN, AREN'T YOU? I AM.

A RICH, PROPERTIED MAN!

AND WELL SHE KNOWS IT.

FATHER, WILL I TELL HIM?

GO AHEAD, 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.

NO.

YES.

YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE, AND YOU FLUBBED IT.

YOU REFUSED SEAN THORNTON, AND HE RENEGED ON YOU.

NOW I DOUBT IF HE'D TAKE YOUR SISTER

IF YOU PUT £1,000 ON HER.

FATHER LONERGAN...

WELL, I CAN'T SAY IT'S TRUE, AND I WON'T SAY IT'S NOT,

BUT THERE'S BEEN TALK.

OH, A LOT OF TALK.

A LOT OF TALK, HUH?

TWO WOMEN IN THE HOUSE AND ONE OF THEM A REDHEAD.

TWO WOMEN.

THREE OUR FATHERS AND THREE HAIL MARYS.

MORNING, MARY KATE. MORNING, CHILDREN.

DON'T SIT THERE GAWKING!

YOU'RE PUTTING UP YOUR BONNET.

I'LL DO NO SUCH SHAMELESS THING.

YOU WILL! I WILL NOT!

NO BONNET, MARY KATE? WHAT A PITY.

BETTING WILL NOW STOP,

AND THE SALE OF ALL INTOXICATING AND ALCOHOLIC DRINKS WILL CEASE.

I MEAN THAT, NOW.

OH, AND, SERGEANT-MAJOR...

IN YOUR GOOD TIME, PLEASE.

THE YANK'S HOLDING BACK.

FOUL! GUPPY!

WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT CRAZY DANAHER?

WOULDN'T IT BE WONDERFUL NOW

IF HE BROKE HIS BLASTED NECK?

MAYBE HE WILL, NOW, GOD WILLING.

WILL, WILL! COME ON!

FOUL! FATHER PAUL!

I DIDN'T SEE IT!

COME ON, SEAN! SEAN!

I MEAN PAUL, FATHER PAUL!

THORNTON!

HE TOOK YOUR BONNET, SARAH.

FINE RACE. YOU RODE LIKE A TROOPER.

TROOPER...

TROOPER THORN, OF COURSE.

I KNEW I'D SEEN YOU SOMEWHERE BEFORE.

NOW THAT YOU KNOW, I WISH YOU'D KEEP IT UNDER YOUR HAT.

I MEAN, FORGET IT.

I UNDERSTAND. IT WILL BE OUR SECRET.

THANKS.

YOUR BONNET, MRS. TILLANE.

THE CUP FOR THE WINNER.

OH, THANK YOU.

FLYNN. HMM?

DOES YOUR OFFER STILL STAND?

WELL, NOW, UH, THAT... THAT DEPENDS.

YOU... YOU, UH, MENTIONED, UH...

£500.

£350 AND NOT ANOTHER PENNY.

WELL, I'LL SPEAK TO ME PRINCIPAL

OF THE FIRST PART.

GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING.

COME ON, COME ON.

WELL, NOW,

THE BANNS HAVING BEEN READ

AND NO MAN OBJECTING...

I'M PERMITTING THIS MAN TO COURT ME SISTER...

BUT UNDER THE USUAL CONDITIONS.

MR. FLYNN.

DO YOU ASSUME THE FULL RESPONSIBILITY?

I DO, I DO.

AND FROM NOW ON,

THEY'LL DO THE WALKING AND THE TALKING

UNDER ME OWN EYES.

WELL, THEN, LET THE COURTING COMMENCE.

HERE, NONE OF THAT NOW. NONE OF THAT.

HANDS TO YOURSELF, ON YOUR OWN SIDE OF THE ROAD.

GET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CART.

UP YOU GO.

THANK YOU.

COME ON.

I DON'T GET THIS.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO HAVE YOU ALONG?

BACK IN THE STATES,

I'D DRIVE UP, HONK THE HORN,

THE GAL WOULD COME RUNNING...

COME A-RUNNING?

I'M NO WOMAN TO BE HONKED AT

AND COME A-RUNNING.

AMERICA, HUH. PROHIBITION, HUH.

DO YOU SEE THAT OVER THERE?

THAT'S THE ANCESTRAL HOME OF THE ANCIENT FLYNNS.

IT WAS TAKEN FROM US BY... BY... BY THE DRUIDS.

COME UP, THERE.

WHOA.

WELL, YOU'RE THE QUIETEST COUPLE I EVER COURTED.

WE'LL GET NOWHERE AT THIS RATE.

OFF WITH YOU.

WHY DON'T YOU DO A HEALTHY MILE OR SO

JUST TO GET USED TO WALKING CORRECTLY TOGETHER?

NOW, NOW, SHE'S A FINE, HEALTHY GIRL.

NO PATTY FINGERS, IF YOU PLEASE.

NICE DAY.

IT IS THAT, MR. THORNTON.

THAT'S A PRETTY BONNET YOU HAVE ON.

BONNET? DON'T YOU BE TALKING TO ME ABOUT BONNETS

AFTER LEAVING MINE STUCK UP THERE LIKE A...

EASY NOW. EASY NOW!

IS THIS A COURTING OR A DONNYBROOK?

HAVE THE GOOD MANNERS NOT TO HIT THE MAN UNTIL HE'S YOUR HUSBAND

AND ENTITLED TO HIT YOU BACK.

I AM SORRY.

I HAVE A FEARFUL TEMPER.

YOU MIGHT AS WELL KNOW ABOUT IT NOW

INSTEAD OF FINDING OUT ABOUT IT LATER.

WE DANAHERS ARE A FIGHTING PEOPLE.

I CAN THINK OF A LOT OF THINGS I'D RATHER DO

TO ONE OF THE DANAHERS... MISS DANAHER.

SHH, MR. THORNTON.

WHAT WILL MR. FLYNN BE THINKING?

CAN YOU RIDE A BIKE?

WELL, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?

MARY KATE DANAHER!

SEAN!

UH, UH...

COME ON!

COME BACK HERE!

COME BACK HERE AT ONCE,

YOU SHAMELESS HUSSY, YOU! COME BACK!

AAH! HA HA!

COME BACK HERE!

COME BACK HERE, YOU SHAMELESS HUSSY!

COME BACK HERE WHEN I ORDER YOU TO!

COME BACK!

B'GAD, I THINK YOU HAVE MORE SENSE THAN I...

I HAVE MESELF.

WHOA THERE, FILLY.

IF ANYBODY HAD TOLD ME SIX MONTHS AGO

THAT TODAY I'D BE IN A GRAVEYARD IN INISFREE

WITH A GIRL LIKE YOU THAT I'M JUST ABOUT TO KISS,

I'D HAVE TOLD THEM...

THE KISSING'S A LONG WAY OFF YET.

WE JUST STARTED THE COURTING.

NEXT MONTH, WE'D START THE WALKING OUT TOGETHER.

THEN THERE'S THE THRASHING PARTIES, AND...

NOPE.

WELL, MAYBE WE WON'T HAVE TO WAIT THAT MONTH...

YEP.

OR FOR THE THRASHING PARTIES...

NOPE.

OR FOR THE WALKING OUT TOGETHER.

NO.

THEN SO MUCH THE WORSE FOR YOU, SEAN THORNTON,

FOR I FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT IT MYSELF.

AND SO THEY WERE MARRIED

IN THE SAME LITTLE CHAPEL I GAVE THEM THEIR BAPTISM.

LATER, THERE WAS A NICE QUIET LITTLE CELEBRATION.

A TOAST.

TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM.

UH, ONE MOMENT. ONE MOMENT.

AS SHUAGRAUN, I SAY THERE'LL BE NO TOASTS

UNTIL WE'VE SEEN THE BRIDE'S FORTUNE.

THE BRIDE'S FORTUNE.

YOU'LL SEE IT. NEVER FEAR.

WE'LL SEE IT NOW, IF YOU PLEASE.

NOW, THEN, THE PROPRIETIES MUST BE OBSERVED.

UH... FATHER LONERGAN.

FEENEY.

£350 GOLD,

A CARTFUL OF FURNISHINGS, LINEN, AND PEWTER

GOES WITH THE SISTER OF WILL DANAHER.

THEN... A TOAST.

MAY THEIR DAYS BE LONG

AND FULL OF HAPPINESS,

MAY THEIR CHILDREN BE MANY

AND FULL OF HEALTH,

AND MAY THEY LIVE IN PEACE

AND FREEDOM.

AHEM.

REVEREND FATHERS, LADIES, AND GENTLEMEN,

ATTENTION. ATTENTION, PLEASE.

UH, SQUIRE... SQUIRE DANAHER HAS THE FLOOR.

IN OTHER WORDS, HE'S... HE'S GOT SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOUSE ALL.

THANK YOU.

I'VE GOT A LITTLE ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE.

OH, COHAN, FILL UP THE GLASSES.

GO ON, ALL OF THEM.

AHEM.

AHEM.

AHEM.

UH, TODAY I'VE GIVEN MY SISTER IN MARRIAGE...

MY ONLY SISTER,

AND NOW SHE'S GONE FROM THE HOUSE OF DANAHER.

BUT WHAT'S IN A HOUSE WITHOUT A WOMAN?

THAT'S TRUE.

RIGHT. WHAT'S A HOUSE WITHOUT A WOMAN IN IT?

YEAH. WHAT'S A HOUSE WITHOUT A WOMAN IN IT?

WHERE WOULD ANY MAN OF US BE WITHOUT A WOMAN?

WHY, EVEN FATHER LONERGAN HAD A MOTHER.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?

YEAH. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? HUH?

SO... AHEM.

SO, UH...

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ELOQUENCE...

WITHOUT FURTHER ELOQUENCE...

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ELOQUENCE,

I WILL GIVE YOU A TOAST...

TO MYSELF,

WHO IS SOON TO BE WED.

ALL SHE HAS TO DO

IS TO SAY THAT LITTLE WORD.

WHEN'S THE HAPPY DAY, SARAH, DARLING?

HAVE... HAVE YOU LOST THE LITTLE SENSE YOU WERE BORN WITH?

HAPPY DAY, INDEED!

BUT, SARAH, DARLING...

AND DON'T DARLING ME, CLOD!

WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO MAKE SUCH AN ANNOUNCEMENT?

BUT, SARAH...

BUT THEY ALL... THEY ALL SAID...

WHY, THE REVEREND MR. PLAYFAIR

AND, UH, MRS. REVEREND.

FATHER LONERGAN.

UH, LITTLE FLYNN.

MICHAELEEN, DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ALL I HAD...

WELL, NOW, I DID AND I DIDN'T.

OH, OH, YOU LIED, DIDN'T YOU?

YOU LIED, DIDN'T YOU?

YOU ALL LIED!

IT'S BAD ENOUGH FOR YOU PEOPLE,

BUT MY OWN PRIEST!

YOU GOT HER BY FRAUD AND FALSITY.

YOU PUT THEM UP TO THIS!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. DON'T DENY IT!

WILL, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE. YOU'RE CRAZY.

CRAZY, AM I?

THIS IS SOMETHING YOU WON'T GET NOW OR EVER!

NOW GET OUT OF HERE, ALL OF YOU!

THE REVEREND SIRS,

LADIES, AND GENTLEMEN, GET OUT!

MARY KATE, COME ON. LET'S GO HOME.

NO, NOT WITHOUT MY FORTUNE.

IT'S MINE, MINE AND MY MOTHER'S BEFORE ME,

AND I'M NOT GOING...

AAH!

STEADY, TROOPER. STEADY.

LET'S GO HOME.

EVER SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL,

I'VE DREAMED OF HAVING MY OWN THINGS ABOUT ME...

MY SPINET...

OVER THERE

AND A TABLE HERE AND...

AND MY OWN CHAIRS TO REST UPON

AND...

A DRESSER OVER THERE IN THAT CORNER

AND...

AND MY OWN CHINA AND PEWTER SHINING ABOUT ME.

AND NOW...

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU FELT THAT WAY ABOUT IT, BUT...

SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF FUSS AND GRIEF

OVER A LITTLE FURNITURE AND STUFF.

IT IS A PRETTY COTTAGE, ISN'T IT?

YEAH.

I THINK SO.

DON'T TOUCH ME.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, NO RIGHT?

I'LL WEAR YOUR RING,

I'LL COOK, AND I'LL WASH,

AND I'LL KEEP THE LAND, BUT THAT IS ALL.

UNTIL I'VE GOT MY DOWRY SAFE ABOUT ME,

I'M NO MARRIED WOMAN.

I'M THE SERVANT I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN,

WITHOUT ANYTHING OF MY OWN!

THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

YOU'RE MY WIFE AND FORT...

WHAT IS THIS?

HAVEN'T I BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU?

UNTIL YOU HAVE MY DOWRY,

YOU HAVEN'T GOT ANY BIT OF ME.

ME, MYSELF!

I'LL STILL BE DREAMING

AMONGST THE THINGS THAT ARE MY OWN

AS IF I HAD NEVER MET YOU.

THERE'S 300 YEARS OF HAPPY DREAMING

IN THOSE THINGS OF MINE, AND...

I WANT THEM.

I WANT MY DREAM.

I'LL HAVE IT, AND I KNOW IT!

I'LL SAY NO OTHER WORD TO YOU.

ALL RIGHT, YOU'LL HAVE YOUR DOWRY

OR DOT OR FORTUNE OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT.

WELL, GET IT, THEN.

THERE'LL BE NO LOCKS OR BOLTS BETWEEN US, MARY KATE,

EXCEPT THOSE IN YOUR OWN MERCENARY LITTLE HEART.

SEAN...

HOW'D YOU SLEEP?

DON'T... DON'T BE SHAMING ME, PLEASE,

IN FRONT OF YOUR FRIENDS.

WHAT?

OH. OK.

HELLO, THE HOUSE!

ANYONE UP?

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

I, UH, I SUPPOSE

IT IS A BIT EARLY TO BE CALLING.

WELL, AFTER YOU LEFT LAST NIGHT, MARY KATE,

A COUPLE OF US PERSUADED DANAHER TO CHANGE HIS MIND.

IT'S, UH, WHAT MIGHT BE CALLED

A SORT OF BELATED WEDDING PRESENT.

MY THINGS.

MY FURNITURE!

WE'D HAVE BROUGHT THEM OVER LAST NIGHT, SEAN,

BUT DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES,

WE THOUGHT YOU'D BE NEEDING YOUR SLEEP. THANKS.

OH!

HERE. HERE.

OH. EASY. EASY NOW.

GOD BLESS ALL HERE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

OH, BE CAREFUL.

OVER THERE BY THE WALL.

NO, NO, NO.

NOW TURN IT AROUND

SO THAT THE LIGHT SHINES ON THE MUSIC.

THAT'S GRAND. THAT'S GRAND.

WHERE...

WHERE DO YOU WANT THIS?

MIGHTY HANDY.

IT... IT WAS MY MOTHER'S

AND MY MOTHER'S MOTHER'S BEFORE.

WHERE DO I PUT IT?

WHERE DO YOU SUPPOSE?

WHERE DO YOU SUPPOSE?

WE'RE SORRY ABOUT THE DOWRY.

COULDN'T MAKE HIM CHANGE HIS MIND ABOUT IT.

NOT EVEN FATHER LONERGAN COULD DO IT.

LET HIM KEEP IT.

KEEP MY FORTUNE?

YOU'VE GOT YOUR TABLES AND CHAIRS.

WHO CARES ABOUT HIS MONEY? MY MONEY!

LET HIM HAVE IT IF IT MEANS THAT MUCH TO HIM. GANGWAY!

WHAT MANNER OF MAN IS IT I'VE MARRIED?

A BETTER ONE, I THINK, THAN YOU KNOW, MARY KATE.

IMPETUOUS.

HOMERIC!

ROSES? ARE YOU PLANTING ROSES?

YEAH. FINE FARMER YOU ARE.

NOT A TURNIP OR CABBAGE OR POTATO ON THE PLACE.

OR CHILDREN.

SORRY.

WELL, I... I SUPPOSE

THEY WILL MAKE A VERY FINE DISPLAY AROUND THE COTTAGE.

IT IS A PRETTY COTTAGE, ISN'T IT?

I THINK SO.

WELL, LET'S SEE NOW.

WE'LL NEED A PLOW AND A CULTIVATOR

AND SEED FOR PLANTING.

ABOUT THE HORSE FOR THE PLOWING,

WE COULD SELL YOUR BLACK HUNTER.

I'LL BUY ANOTHER HORSE FOR THE PLOWING.

OR WHY NOT A TRACTOR?

A TRACTOR... NASTY, SMELLY THINGS,

AND, BESIDES, THEY'RE AN AWFUL PRICE.

WITH A HORSE, YOU GET OTHER ADVANTAGES.

YEAH, FOR THE ROSES.

OH, ROSES AGAIN.

YOU...

WE COULD DO OUR SHOPPING IN CASTLETOWN,

AND IF WE PUT A GOOD FOOT UNDER US,

WE COULD BE THERE AND BACK BY SUPPERTIME.

5 MILES? WELL, THAT'S JUST A...

GOOD STRETCH OF THE LEGS, RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT.

GET ON YOUR WALKING SHOES.

I'LL BE A MINUTE.

OH!

SO, YOU'RE NOT A WOMAN TO BE HONKED AT, HUH?

WHY, IT'S BEAUTIFUL. DID YOU EVER SEE...

IT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD FLY.

IT'S ONLY ONE HORSEPOWER, BUT IT'S ALL YOURS.

MINE?

SURE. THINK YOU CAN DRIVE IT?

HOLD ON TO YOUR HAT.

YOU TAKE CARE OF THIS, FEENEY.

NOW, THEN, LET'S HAVE ANOTHER PINT,

AND I'M BUYING THIS ONE. HIGH TIME.

WHAT'S THAT?

I SAID, THAT'S FINE, SQUIRE.

FINE, FINE.

HERE'S GOOD HEALTH TO YOU ALL.

LOOK. HE'S SOLD THE CROSSBREDS. THE WHAT?

THE SHEEP HE'S BEEN PLANNING ON.

HURRY. NOW'S A GOOD TIME TO ASK HIM.

GO ON, GO ON.

ASK HIM WHAT? ABOUT MY MONEY.

HE CAN'T SAY HE HASN'T GOT IT NOW.

CAN'T YOU GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD

THAT I DIDN'T MARRY YOU FOR YOUR FORTUNE?

I DON'T GIVE A... HANG ABOUT THE MONEY.

BUT HE DOES. THAT'S THE POINT.

WILL YOU ASK HIM? NO.

WHY SHAME OURSELVES? SHAME?

THE SHAME'S ON YOU, NOT ON ME.

ON ME, TOO, IF I'VE MARRIED A COWARD.

IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK?

WHAT ELSE? YOU LET HIM ROB YOU OF MY MONEY.

MONEY... I'M SICK OF THE TALK OF IT.

IS THAT ALL YOU DANAHERS THINK ABOUT, MONEY?

FATHER... QUIET.

SEE HIM OUT THERE BEHIND THAT ROCK?

HE'S THE KING OF ALL SALMON.

I'VE GOT TO TALK TO YOU, FATHER.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS ONE FOR 10 YEARS.

IT'S ABOUT MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF!

FATHER, I... I...

YOU SEE...

FATHER, COULD I...

COULD I TELL YOU IN THE IRISH?

AH, SURE, SURE, SURE.

OH.

SLEEPING BAG, FATHER,

WITH...

WITH BUTTONS.

WOMAN, IRELAND MAY BE A POOR COUNTRY, GOD HELP US,

BUT HERE A MARRIED MAN SLEEPS IN A BED AND NOT A BAG,

AND I'LL TELL YOU A THING OR...

HO! THERE HE IS! STRIKE HIM NOW, FATHER!

THAT'S THE ONE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR FOR 10 LONG YEARS!

KEEP HIS HEAD UP!

KEEP HIS HEAD UP, FATHER!

GET A TIGHT LINE.

I'VE GOT HIM!

I'VE GOT HIM!

I GOT HIM!

A TIGHT LINE IT IS.

KEEP HIS HEAD UP! KEEP HIS HEAD UP!

HIS HEAD IS UP! WILL YOU GET THE GAFF?

FOR 10 YEARS, I'VE... 10 YEARS I'VE...

GET THE GAFF, WOMAN! GET THE GAFF!

OH, YOU GOT HIM, FATHER!

KEEP HIS HEAD UP, YOU FOOL!

GET THE GAFF!

GET THE GAFF, WOMAN!

AH, THE...

GOD HELP US!

OH, YOU'RE JUST IN TIME TO STAND ME A DRINK.

JOIN US, SEAN.

AH, YOU WILL HAVE A DRINK, SEAN?

NO, THANKS.

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU... IN PRIVATE.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU GOT TO SAY TO ME, SAY IT HERE.

I'D RATHER TALK IN PRIVATE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER? YOU'RE AMONG FRIENDS.

THEY FOUGHT FOR YOU ONCE, DIDN'T THEY?

MAYBE THEY'LL FIGHT FOR YOU AGAIN.

I'M NOT ASKING ANYBODY TO DO MY FIGHTING.

OH, HA HA!

WILLING TO DO YOUR OWN?

YOU KNOW WHAT I CAME FOR.

I JUST WANT TO HEAR YOU ASK FOR IT. ASK FOR IT, YANK.

YOU'LL BE CHEWING YOUR TEETH FOR A WEEK.

YOU'VE GOT 20 POUNDS ON HIM, DANAHER.

AND SO I HAVE.

HOW WOULD IT BE

IF I PUT ONE FIST IN ME POCKET?

RIGHT OR LEFT? YOU CHOOSE.

THAT'S FAIR ENOUGH, ISN'T IT?

HA HA HA!

THE FIGHTING THORNTONS!

IT WAS MR. THORNTON. I BROUGHT HIM IN. COME IN.

HAVE YOU TIDDLED YOUR LAST WINK? I HAVE.

NO CHEATING? I HAVE NOT.

DO YOU PLAY TIDDLYWINKS?

NO. I, UH...

MAYBE I SHOULDN'T HAVE BUTTED IN LIKE THIS.

NONSENSE.

HOW'S YOUR LOVELY BRIDE?

FINE.

ELIZABETH, SAY GOOD NIGHT TO MR. THORNTON.

BUT HE'S ONLY JUST COME.

OH. OH, VERY WELL.

GOOD NIGHT, MR. THORNTON. GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT, CYRIL.

GOOD NIGHT, ELIZABETH.

PLEASANT DREAMS.

ARE YOU SURE THERE'S NOTHING...

GOOD NIGHT, ELIZABETH!

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE I CAN LEVEL WITH.

I GOT TO TALK TO SOMEBODY,

OR I'LL BLOW MY TOP.

DANAHER, OF COURSE.

YEAH. WELL, SINCE YOU KNOW WHO I AM OR... WAS,

YOU KNOW WHY I DON'T WANT TO FIGHT HIM.

YES. I WAS READING ABOUT IT AGAIN THIS EVENING.

SOME MEN COLLECT BUTTERFLIES.

SOME STAMPS.

MY HOBBY'S ALWAYS BEEN SPORTS,

SPORTING EVENTS.

THERE IT IS.

IT'S A VERY UNDERSTANDABLE REACTION.

STILL, THE PAPERS ALL SAY IT WAS AN ACCIDENT,

JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS.

MAYBE IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS IN THE SCRAPBOOK,

BUT WHEN YOU CARRY IT AROUND IN HERE...

TONY GARDELLO WAS A GOOD EGG.

NICE LITTLE WIFE AND HOME,

A COUPLE OF KIDS,

CLEAN FIGHTER.

BUT I DIDN'T GO IN THERE TO OUTBOX HIM.

I WENT IN THERE

TO BEAT HIS BRAINS OUT,

TO DRIVE HIM INTO THE CANVAS,

TO MURDER HIM.

THAT'S WHAT I DID.

FOR WHAT?

PURSE?

A PIECE OF THE GATE?

LOUSY MONEY.

AND NOW MONEY IS BEHIND YOUR TROUBLE WITH DANAHER.

THEY THINK I'M AFRAID TO FIGHT HIM,

ALL THE FRIENDS I'VE MADE HERE,

EVEN MY WIFE.

WELL, AREN'T YOU IN A WAY?

DID YOU EVER KILL A MAN?

WELL, I HAVE,

AND ALL THIS TALK ABOUT HER BIG FORTUNE...

IT'S NOT THAT IMPORTANT.

PERHAPS IT IS TO HER.

IT... IT MUST BE STRANGE TO YOU FROM AMERICA,

BUT IT'S AN OLD, OLD CUSTOM HERE,

AND, BELIEVE ME, IT'S A GOOD CUSTOM.

THE FORTUNE MEANS MORE TO HER THAN JUST THE MONEY.

NOT TO ME, IT ISN'T,

NOT WORTH FIGHTING FOR.

IS YOUR WIFE'S LOVE WORTH FIGHTING FOR?

I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW.

ALL I KNOW

IS THAT I CAN'T FIGHT OR WON'T FIGHT

UNLESS I'M MAD ENOUGH TO KILL,

AND IF THAT MEANS LOSING HER...

I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE SHE DOESN'T LOVE ME ENOUGH.

IT'S A DIFFICULT SITUATION,

BUT I THINK YOU'LL FIND THE RIGHT ANSWER

IN GOD'S GOOD TIME.

AND WHEN THAT TIME COMES,

I HOPE I'LL STILL BE HERE.

YOU'RE NOT FIGURING ON LEAVING, ARE YOU?

MMM, IT'S A POSSIBILITY.

YOU SEE, MY BISHOP IS COMING TOMORROW

ON HIS ANNUAL VISIT.

I'VE GOT SUCH A SMALL CONGREGATION,

JUST TWO OR THREE PEOPLE AT THE SERVICE,

HE MAY TRANSFER ME.

THE PLACE WOULDN'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU, PADRE.

ELIZABETH AND I JUST LOVE THIS PLACE.

WE WERE BORN HERE, TOO, YOU KNOW.

THE BISHOP'S A GOOD EGG.

MAYBE IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT.

OH, BY THE WAY,

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE DANAHER.

HE MAY BE CLUMSY

BUT HE'S GOT A TREMENDOUS RIGHT

AND A JAW OF GRANITE.

I DID A LITTLE BIT OF BOXING IN MY TIME.

OH-HO?

YOU WON'T BE LAUGHING NOW, WILL YOU?

IT WAS AT TRINITY.

"LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION.

19..."

OH, THE YEAR DOESN'T MATTER.

IT WAS LONG, LONG AGO.

ALL RIGHT.

BY THE WAY,

WOULD YOU JOIN ME IN A GLASS OF...

NO. YOU'LL BE IN TRAINING NOW, OF COURSE.

DID YOU HAVE ANY SUPPER?

NO.

I'M NOT HUNGRY.

THE DRINK SOMETIMES DOES THAT TO A MAN.

I HAVEN'T HAD ANYTHING TO DRINK.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW,

I WAS... TALKING TO THE VICAR...

MR. PLAYFAIR.

THAT'S STRANGE.

I HAD A LONG TALK WITH FATHER LONERGAN.

AHH.

WOMAN OF THE HOUSE, WHERE'S ME TEA?

MARY KATE!

SAVE YOUR BREATH, BOY.

SAVE YOUR BREATH.

SHE'S GONE FROM YOU, AND SMALL WONDER.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WHERE IS SHE?

SHE CAME TAPPING AT ME DOOR.

"WILL YOU DRIVE ME TO THE TRAIN?" SAYS SHE.

WHY?

ME VERY QUESTION. "WHY?" SAYS I.

"BECAUSE I LOVE HIM," SAYS SHE.

"I LOVE HIM TOO MUCH

TO GO ON LIVING WITH A MAN I'M ASHAMED OF."

WHAT TIME WAS THIS?

OH, IN TIME FOR THE DUBLIN TRAIN.

SADDLE UP MY HORSE, WILL YOU, PLEASE?

SADDLE HIS HORSE.

I'LL HAVE NO PART

IN HELPING YOU TO PUT MORE SHAME ON HER.

HEH. SADDLE HIS HORSE.

AND MIGHT I SUGGEST, MR. COSTELLO,

THE TRAIN ALREADY BEING 4 1/2 HOURS LATE...

NOW, IS IT MY FAULT, MR. BAILEY,

THAT THERE'S A HURLING MATCH AT BALLYGAR

AND THAT THE CHAMPIONS OF ALL IRELAND...

IF YOU KNEW YOUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY AS WELL AS YOU CLAIM,

YOU'D KNOW THE MAYO HURLERS

HAVEN'T BEEN BEATEN WEST OF THE SHANNON FOR THE LAST 22 YEARS.

TRUE, MR. MALONEY.

THAT'S A LIE, COSTELLO!

IF THIS MEANS WHAT I HOPE IT MEANS...

DANAHER VICEY-VERSUS THE YANK.

THERE'LL BE WIGS ON THE GREEN THIS DAY.

OH!

MORNING.

GOOD DAY TO YOU, SIRS.

FIVE MINUTES, DID YOU SAY?

RIGHT!

HE'S WALKING HER BACK...

THE WHOLE, LONG WAY.

IT'S HOMERIC, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

POST A LOOKOUT.

THEY MAY GO HOME FIRST.

PAT, WHERE'S YOUR PARABELLUM?

IN THE SAME PLACE.

EXCUSE ME, GENERAL.

GENTLEMEN, THE DRINKS ARE ON THE HOUSE!

WELL, THEY ARE.

HEY, MA'AM, DARLIN'!

HERE'S YOUR SHOE!

OH!

IT'S ONLY 5 MILES.

JUST A GOOD STRETCH OF THE LEGS.

THANK YOU VERY KINDLY, SIR.

OH!

SIR, SIR, HERE'S A GOOD STICK

TO BEAT THE LOVELY LADY.

THANKS.

I THINK YOUR IN-LAWS ARE COMING TO VISIT YOU,

SQUIRE, DARLIN'.

DANAHER, YOU OWE ME £350. LET'S HAVE IT.

SO THE I.R.A.'s IN THIS, TOO, EH?

IF IT WERE, "RED" WILL DANAHER,

NOT A SCORCHED STONE OF YOUR FINE HOUSE WOULD BE STANDING.

A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.

I'LL PAY YOU... NEVER.

THAT BREAKS ALL BARGAINS.

YOU CAN TAKE YOUR SISTER BACK.

IT'S YOUR CUSTOM, NOT MINE.

NO FORTUNE, NO MARRIAGE.

WE CALL IT QUITS.

YOU'D DO THIS TO ME,

YOUR OWN WIFE?

AFTER... AFTER...

IT'S DONE.

THERE'S YOUR DIRTY MONEY.

TAKE IT!

COUNT IT, YOU SPAWN...

AND LOOK,

IF EVER I SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN,

I'LL PUSH THAT THROUGH IT.

WATCH IT!

I'LL BE GOING ON HOME NOW.

I'LL HAVE THE SUPPER READY FOR YOU.

THAT WAS A DIRTY BLOW, SEAN.

HERE, HERE, GET BACK!

ALL RIGHT, "RED" WILL, YOU ASKED FOR IT.

3-TO-1 I'M GIVING ON DANAHER!

3-TO-1 ON DAN...

I'LL TAKE THAT.

£10 ON THORNTON.

DONE. ANYONE ELSE FAVOR ME FRIEND THE YANK?

AAH!

GENTLEMEN, IF YOU PLEASE,

THIS IS A PRIVATE FIGHT.

THE MARQUIS OF QUEENSBERRY RULES

WILL BE OBSERVED ON ALL OCCASIONS.

THE MARQUIS OF QUEENSBERRY RULES, MIND YOU, SQUIRE.

OK WITH ME, MICHAELEEN.

THANKS.

NONBELLIGERENTS WILL KINDLY REMAIN IN NEUTRAL.

NOW, SHAKE HANDS AND COME OUT FIGHTING.

I THANK YOU.

YOU HEAR THAT, EVERYBODY?

THE MARQUIS OF QUEENSBERRY RULES.

MARQUIS OF QUEENS...

MARQUIS OF QUEENSBERRY RU...

COME ON, GET UP. MARQUIS OF QUEENSBERRY...

I HOPE THORNTON BEATS HIM SENSELESS.

MR. THORNTON'S A MARRIED MAN, SARAH.

WHO CARES ABOUT HIM?

IT'S THAT BELLOWING BULLY CONCERNS ME...

"I'M THE BEST MAN IN INISFREE,"

AS THOUGH I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

CALL UP BALLINROBE.

GET REINFORCEMENTS DOWN HERE. THERE'S A RIOT HERE.

BALLINROBE! BALLINROBE!

5-TO-1 ON THE BIG CHAP, SNUFFY.

GIVING OR TAKING?

GIVING. TAKEN.

YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH?

NO.

WELL, GIVE A MAN A HAND, THEN.

YES, INSPECTOR. THANK YOU, SIR.

WHAT DID HE SAY? PUT £5 ON DANAHER'S NOSE.

ANOTHER 10 ON THORNTON.

10 ON THORNTON. 10 ON THORNTON.

£10 ON DANAHER.

£10 ON DANAHER.

£2 ON MR. DANAHER, MR. FLYNN, PLEASE.

£2?

£2 ON DANAHER.

"AND OF A HUNDRED BATTLES,

"AYE, AND A THOUSAND BESIDES,

"STOOD ALONE ON THE VICTORIOUS FIELD,

"HIS BUCKLER BENT,

"HIS BROKEN SWORD CLUTCHED IN HIS MIGHTY HAND,

"THE BLOOD OF A THOUSAND WOUNDS

"OOZING FROM HIS OPEN VEINS

DRIPPED ON THE BODIES OF THE SLAIN."

FATHER!

FATHER LONERGAN!

SHH, SHH, SHH.

IT'S... IT'S A BIG FIGHT.

THERE'S FIGHT IN THIS FISH HERE.

I'D HAVE STOPPED IT...

YOU DO THAT, LAD. IT'S YOUR DUTY.

BUT IT'S DANAHER AND SEAN THORNTON.

WHO? DANAHER AND...

SEAN THORNTON? WELL, WHY THE DEVIL DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?

FATHER, SHOULDN'T WE PUT A STOP TO IT NOW?

AH, WE SHOULD, LAD. YES, WE SHOULD.

IT'S OUR DUTY.

GET UP, OR ARE YOU A LAZY MAN? COME ON!

HOW'S THE BETTING GOING?

EVEN MONEY, SEAN,

BUT DON'T RUIN ME.

DANAHER, YOU'RE A GOOD FIGHTIN' MAN, I'LL SAY THAT FOR YOU.

WELL, IF IT COMES TO THAT,

IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE BEATING YOU.

UHH!

THANKS.

WILL YOU TAKE ANOTHER 20 ON THORNTON?

NO, NO. THE BOOK'S CLOSED.

A POUND ON THORNTON AGAINST THE SQUIRE.

GO AWAY, YOU TRAITOR, YOU.

HOW ABOUT A DRINK BEFORE YOU KILL YOURSELF?

IT'S ON THE HOUSE.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

BALLYGLOON FOLKS ARE COMING BY BUS... THOUSANDS OF THEM.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

NOT THAT I'M TIRED.

I'M FRESH AS A DAISY.

MORE LIKE A BLACK-EYED SUSAN. LET'S GO.

IS THAT A PUBLIC HOUSE?

YES, YOUR LORDSHIP.

ARE THEY GOING IN?

YES, YOUR LORDSHIP.

DOES THAT MEAN THE FIGHT'S OVER?

NO. THAT'S JUST THE END OF ROUND ONE.

STAND BACK, STAND BACK.

KEEP AWAY. KEEP AWAY.

NOW, LET ME SEE.

WHISKEY?

NAH, GETS YOUR BLOOD UP.

PORTER'S THE VERY THING.

AHH... IT'S PEACEFUL AND QUIET IN HERE, ISN'T IT?

YEAH.

YOU KNOW...

THIS HAS BEEN A FIGHT

I'D COME A LONG WAY TO SEE.

HOPE YOU CAN STICK AROUND FOR THE FINISH.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT!

YOU KNOW, YANK,

I'VE TAKEN QUITE A LIKINGS TO YOUSE.

I'M GETTING REAL FOND OF YOU, TOO.

YOUR WIDOW, ME SISTER...

SHE COULD HAVE DONE A LOT WORSE.

TRUE, TRUE. POOR WOMAN.

THANKS. FILL THEM UP AGAIN.

AH, YOU'LL BUY ME NO DRINKS.

DRINKS ARE ON THE HOUSE.

I'M NOT TAKING YOURS, YOU LITTLE SQUINT!

I'M BUYING THE DRINKS.

BUY ME A DRINK AT YOUR WAKE...

AND NOT BEFORE.

I'M BUYING!

BAR TOWEL.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

HALF PAST 5:00, SIR.

GLORY BE TO...

I... I HOPE YOU WON'T BE VEXED WITH ME, CYRIL,

BUT I'VE LOST £3 TO MRS. TILLANE.

I KNOW I SHOULDN'T HAVE BET, BUT...

THERE YOU ARE, SNUFFY.

£15.

HELLO THERE, ELIZABETH.

YOUR LORDSHIP.

AND WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING ALL DAY?

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,

I'LL... I'LL GET YOUR TEA, SNUFFY.
