[GUN FIRES] BE JUST ANOTHER MINUTE,

MICAH.

TAKE YOUR TIME.

READY, PETE?

ALL RIGHT, ONCE MORE.

LET'S UNLOAD THE THING, PETE.

ALLOW ME, GENTLEMEN, WOULD YOU, PLEASE?

WELL, COME ON NOW, JUST DON'T STAND THERE, PUT IT UNDER IT.

OKAY. THERE YOU ARE. YOU KNOW, I'VE...I'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY

THAT MOST OF MY BRAINS ARE IN MY ARMS AND IN MY BACK. AN' YOU

KNOW SOMETHIN', I'M FOREVER TRYIN' TO PROVE THAT THEY'RE

CORRECT.

WELL, I'M CERTAINLY MUCH OBLIGED TO YOU, MISTER...

OH, AN UNDENIABLE PLEASURE, LADDIE, UNDENIABLE.

WHEN I GET READY TO ROOF TO MY HOUSE, I'M GONNA HAVE YOU

LIFT IT ON.

OH SURELY, SURELY, BUT LISTEN NOW, PROMISE ME ONE THING,

PROMISE ME THAT IT WON'T BE MORE THAN THREE STORIES TALL, HUH?

YOU KNOW, THAT WAS QUITE A COMPLIMENT BEING AS HOW IT CAME

FROM OUR BLACKSMITH.

OH, THANK YOU, SIR, THANK YOU. THAT COMES FROM LIFTIN'

STONES TO FIND ENOUGH SOD UNDERNEATH THEM TO PLANT A

POTATO.

AM I RIGHT IN THINKIN' IT'S THE SOD OF COUNTY DOWN YOU'RE

REFERRIN' TO?

YES YOU ARE, SIR, YES INDEED, YES. I'M A COUNTY DOWN MAN

DENNIS O'FLARRETY THE NAME.

MICAH TORRANCE.

WELL, IT'S A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU, SIR, AN' YOU KNOW

SOMETHIN', THAT'S A GOOD OMEN TOO. THE FIRST MAN THAT I MEET

IN TOWN TURNS OUT TO BE AN IRISHMAN, AND NOT ALONE THAT,

IT'S A BETTER OMEN HE TURNS OUT TO BE THE LAW TOO, AH? HMM.

INCIDENTALLY, MARSHAL, TELL ME SOMETHIN', THIS, UM, THIS HOTEL

OVER HERE, THE NAME MALLORY, WOULD THAT BE A, UH, RED-HAIRED,

GREEN-EYED IRISH GIRL, OF MORE THAN PASSIN' BEAUTY?

YOU'RE A FRIEND OF LOU'S?

NOW DOES THE DESCRIPTION FIT THE NAME? WELL, THEN A FRIEND OF

HERS I AM INDEED, AN' ONE THAT'S EAGER TO BE SEEIN' HER TOO.

THEN I WON'T DETAIN YOU ANY LONGER, MR. O'FLARRETY.

RIGHT, SIR, FINE! I SHALL SEE YOU, MARSHAL.

MORNIN', STRANGER.

VERY GOOD MORNIN' TO YOU TOO, SIR.

WHAT WILL IT BE?

BEER OR WHISKEY?

BEER? WHAT-- OH, NO, THAT'S A VERY POOR THING TO OFFER A MAN

THAT'S BEEN 20 LONG, DUSTY DAYS ON THE ROAD.

GOT IRISH WHISKEY, IF THAT'D BE YOUR TASTE.

OH, ME GENTLEMAN, BRING ON YOUR TREASURE AN' COMMENCE TO

POUR IT NOW, BUT GENTLY AN' WITH REVERENCE, DON'T BRUISE IT.

MR. LARSEN? THERE IS A CARPET BAG BY THE DESK, DID YOU SEE

ANYONE WHO-- DENNIS?

BUT OF COURSE, MY DEAR HEART.

NOW WHO ELSE WOULD IT BE BUT MYSELF? AH! DRINKIN' TO THE

HEALTH OF THE FUTURE MRS. DENNIS O'FLARRETY.

WELL, SAY SOMETHIN', DEAR GIRL.

SAY SOMETHIN' IN THE WAY OF A GREETIN'.

HELLO, DENNIS.

OH, NOW...NOW THAT'S NOT QUITE WHAT I HAD IN MIND, BUT I

SUPPOSE IT'S BETTER THAN NOTHIN'.

WELL, I'M SORRY, I'M...I'M SURPRISED.

OH, YES OF COURSE YOU WOULD BE. YOU KNOW, I HAD IN MIND TO

WRITE YOU, BUT THEN I SAID TO MYSELF, AH, NO, NO, NO, BETTER

THAT I SHOULD SURPRISE HER.

HOW ARE YOU?

AT ME BEST, DEAR GIRL, AT ME BEST. OH, THERE'S NO NEED TO ASK

YOU HOW YOU ARE, THOUGH. HA!

THINGS HAVE CHANGED, THINGS HAVE CHANGED, THEY'VE...CHANGED FOR

THE BETTER TOO.

A LOT OF THINGS HAVE CHANGED, DENNIS.

OH, I KNOW, I KNOW. BUT NOT THE OLD THINGS, NO. NOT THE OLD

LOYALTIES, THE FRIENDSHIPS, THE OLD PROMISES, LOU.

TEN YEARS, DENNIS, IT'S...

IT'S BEEN TEN YEARS SINCE I LEFT IRELAND.

OH, MY DARLING, IN MY HEART IT'S BEEN TEN TIMES TEN YEARS,

AN' TEN TIMES THAT AGAIN TOO.

AH, LOU, LET ME LOOK AT YOU.

YEAH, STILL THE SAME RADIANT, LOVELY CREATURE THAT YOU ALWAYS

WERE. LOU, HOW ABOUT A KISS FOR YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND, HUH? OH,

NOW I...I DON'T BLAME YOU ONE SMALL LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW. WHAT

A STUPID KIND OF A MAN THAT I AM TO TAKE A GIRL INTO MY ARMS WHEN

I GOT ALL THE DUST OF THE COUNTRYSIDE ON MYSELF? YOU KNOW

WHAT IT WAS, DON'T YOU, OF COURSE, LOU? IT WAS THE SIGHT

OF...OF YOUR RADIANT BEAUTY ONCE MORE THAT...MADE ME FORGET MY

MANNERS.

LOU?

OH, IN HERE, LUCAS.

LOU, I WAS WON-- OH, I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO

INTERRUPT.

YOU'RE NOT INTERRUPTIN'.

LUCAS MCCAIN, DENNIS O'FLARRETY.

HOW DO YOU DO, SIR?

HOW DO YOU DO?

LUCAS IS MY DEAREST FRIEND IN NORTH FORK.

OH, WELL IN THAT CASE IT'S A DOUBLE PLEASURE TO MEET YOU,

SIR, HOW ARE YOU?

DENNIS COMES FROM THE SAME PART OF IRELAND. WE LIVED

ON ADJOININ' FARMS.

OH.

THAT'S RIGHT. A VERY INTERESTIN' THING, YOU KNOW. I

WAS HELPIN' HER FATHER WITH THE CROPS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN, AN'

YOU KNOW, A DAY HASN'T PASSED SINCE, BUT SHE SEEMS TO HAVE

GROWN PRETTIER.

YOU MUST BE TIRED, I'LL GET YOU A ROOM. LUCAS, I'LL BE RIGHT

BACK.

YEAH, JUST A MOMENT, DARLIN', WOULD YOU? MR. MCCAIN, UM,

SEEIN' THAT HERSELF HASN'T ANY RELATIVES HEREABOUTS, AND THAT

YOU ARE HER BEST FRIEND, I WAS WONDERIN' IF YOU'D DO ME A

FAVOR?

NAME IT.

WELL, EH, BE BEST MAN AT OUR WEDDIN', HUH?

AT YOUR WEDDIN'?!

YES, AT OUR WEDDING. COME ON, GIRL.

OH, LUCAS, WAIT, I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

THEY MAY EVEN ASK YOU TO GIVE THE BRIDE AWAY.

WHAT ARE GONNA DO ABOUT IT?

NOTHIN'.

NOTHIN'?

MICAH, SHE WAS STANDIN' RIGHT THERE AT THE TIME, SHE DIDN'T

SAY ANYTHING. NOW LOOK, SHE'S A GROWN WOMAN, IF SHE GETS IT INTO

HER HEAD TO GET MARRIED, WELL, SHE'S GOT THE RIGHT.

WELL, I WON'T ARGUE THAT WITH YOU, ONLY I...I SORT OF FIGURED

THAT, WELL, THE WAY YOU-- YOU BETTER START REFIGURIN'

THINGS.

YES, I GUESS I BETTER, THOUGH I DOUBT IT WILL EVER MAKE ANY

SENSE.

WELL, I GOTTA GET BACK TO MY PLACE.

WITHOUT TALKIN' TO LOU?

I'LL PROBABLY SEE HER NEXT TIME I'M IN TOWN, DON'T WORRY

ABOUT IT SO MUCH.

I ASKED YOU TO WAIT FOR ME!

Lucas: I KNOW, BUT YOU WERE INVOLVED.

Lou: BUT DON'T YOU WANT AN EXPLANATION?

YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN ANYTHIN' TO ME, LOU.

OH, LUCAS, WOULD YOU STOP ACTIN' SO CONTRARY?

CONTRARY? I THOUGHT I WAS BEING A GENTLEMAN.

THEN WILL YOU PLEASE STOP BEING A GENTLEMAN AND LISTEN TO

ME?

ALL RIGHT, I'LL LISTEN, WHAT IS IT?

WHEN I WAS EIGHT, MY MOTHER DIED. AN' THERE WAS MY FATHER

WITH SIX CHILDREN, AN' ME THE OLDEST, AN'...AN' HIM A SICK MAN

AS WELL. SO DENNIS AGREED TO...

TO HELP ON OUR FARM, AN' SEE TO IT THAT WE HAD FOOD AND CLOTHES.

HE KEPT US ALIVE DURIN' THE DROUGHT, AN' BAD CROPS, AN'...

BEFORE MY FATHER DIED, HE OFFERED TO GIVE DENNIS OUR FARM.

IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE HE MIGHT HAVE EARNED IT.

HE DID, BUT HE REFUSED. HE WANTED SOMETHIN' ELSE, AN' MY

FATHER AGREED. IT WAS A DEBT OF HONOR. THAT'S RIGHT, ME. THEY

SHOOK HANDS AN' WITH MY FATHER'S LAST BREATH ON EARTH, HE

PROMISED ME TO DENNIS.

WELL, YOU WERE ONLY A CHILD, NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO GIVE

YOU AWAY.

LUCAS, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE WAYS OF THE OLD WORLD. A

FATHER HAS THE RIGHT TO PLEDGE HIS DAUGHTER IN MARRIAGE.

BUT YOU'RE NOT IN IRELAND NOW, YOU'RE IN AMERICA.

I'M QUITE AWARE OF WHERE I AM, BUT MY BIRTH TIES GO

DEEPER, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PLEDGE IS A DYIN' PLEDGE, GIVEN

IN BOND TO PAY A RIGHTFUL DEBT.

YOU'RE TELLIN' ME YOU FEEL DUTY BOUND TO MARRY THIS MAN?

I AM. WELL, AREN'T YOU GONNA SAY ANYTHIN'?

OF COURSE.

GOOD LUCK, LOU.

GOOD LUCK!

TELL ME, UH, IS IT ALWAYS THIS CROWDED?

OURS IS MOSTLY A SHOPPIN' DAY CROWD, SWEENEY GETS MOST OF

THE TRAIL HANDS.

I SEE. WELL, A LITTLE SOLITARY DRINKIN' NEVER HURT A

MAN, GIVES HIM HIS CHANCE TO THINK OF HIS FUTURE.

BARKEEP, MY DRINK IS IRISH.

THIS IS A LOT CHEAPER.

IRISH, IF YOU DON'T MIND. AN' I'M SURE THAT MISS MALLORY WON'T

MIND THE EXPENSE.

OH, INCIDENTALLY, I'VE BEEN TRAVELIN' RATHER LIGHT, I'M IN

NEED OF, UH, CERTAIN THINGS.

SUCH AS?

WELL, SUCH AS A NEW SADDLE, FOR ONE THING.

HMM, NILS, THE BLACKSMITH, HAS SOME SERVICEABLE ONES. USED,

BUT THEY GOT SOME USE IN THEM YET.

NO, NO, NO. I HAD IN MIND SOMETHIN'...SOMETHIN' WITH A

FLAIR TO IT.

BURKETT'S STORE HAS SOME OF THOSE SILVER ONES THEY MAKE IN

MEXICO.

AH, GOOD, GOOD. WELL, I'LL HAVE A LOOK AT THEM. TELL ME,

BARKEEP, WHAT DO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF THIS TOWN DO WHEN

THE SUN GOES DOWN?

SLEEP.

I SEE. AND FOR THOSE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN A LITTLE MANLY

CONVERSATION OR...SPORT?

WELL, YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND A FARO GAME GOIN' OVER AT

SWEENEY'S.

AH, SPLENDID, SPLENDID. NOW I MUST HASTEN AN' MAKE MYSELF

KNOWN TO THIS GENTLEMAN WITH THE HONORABLE NAME OF SWEENEY.

GOOD DAY TO YOU.

MIGHT AS WELL LET YOU KNOW...

MISS LOU DOESN'T HAVE AN ACCOUNT OVER THERE.

OH, DOESN'T SHE INDEED?

WELL, SHE WILL.

WHY, PA?

WELL, SON, PEOPLE SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY IN DIFFERENT PARTS

OF THE WORLD, NOW IN IRELAND THEY HAVE A LOT OF

OLD-FASHIONED CUSTOMS, LIKE A FATHER BEING ABLE TO GIVE AWAY

HIS DAUGHTER IN MARRIAGE WITHOUT CONSULTIN' HER FIRST.

WHAT?!

HMM, I GUESS IT'S A MAN'S WORLD THERE.

JUST THE SAME I...I WOULDN'T WANNA MARRY A GIRL WHO DIDN'T

WANNA MARRY ME.

WELL, THERE'S MORE TO LOU'S DECISION THAN THAT, SON. YOU

BELIEVE IN...PAYIN' OFF YOUR DEBTS?

YEAH?

WELL, O'FLARRETY DID A LOT FOR LOU AN' HER FAMILY.

MARRYIN' SOMEONE 'CAUSE YOU OWE THEM. IS THAT WHY YOU AND MA

GOT MARRIED?

OF COURSE NOT, SON, WE WERE IN LOVE, WE WANTED TO BE

TOGETHER. AN' WE...WERE, AS LONG AS GOD LET US.

WELL, WITH...LOU AN' MR. O'FLARRETY, IT'S, UH, MORE

OF A BUSINESS DEAL THAN A...THAN A MARRIAGE, ISN'T IT?

IT'S NOT A BUSINESS DEAL, SON, THERE'S STILL TWO PEOPLE

GETTIN' MARRIED. NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG, I'M NOT SAYIN' WHETHER

IT'S RIGHT OR WRONG, I'M JUST SAYIN' IT'S THE CUSTOM OF HER

COUNTRY. DOES THAT SATISFY YOU?

SURE, IF IT...SATISFIES YOU.

MICAH?

WHAT BRINGS YOU TO TOWN?

DENNIS O'FLARRETY, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF HIM?

WELL, I...I'M NOT SO SURE.

NO OPINION AT ALL?

WELL, HE...DOES HAVE AN IRISHMAN'S GLIB TONGUE, AN'...

THE MAN HAS CHARM, THERE'S NO DENYIN' IT, ONLY, UH...

ONLY WHAT?

WELL, SOMETHIN' TELLS ME WHEN ST. PATRICK DROVE THE SNAKES

FROM IRELAND, HE MAY HAVE OVERLOOKED ONE OR TWO.

YEAH.

DENNIS, I WANNA TALK TO YOU.

WELL, I'M SO GLAD, LOU, YOU KNOW THAT'S MY FAVORITE PASTIME,

TALKIN' TO A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.

SIT DOWN, LOU, SIT DOWN.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY YOU'VE SPENT IN THE PAST FEW

DAYS?

OH NO, DARLIN', THAT SHOULD BE NO CONCERN OF YOURS AT ALL.

IN MY FAMILY, IT'S THE MAN THAT DOES ALL THE WORRYIN' ABOUT THE

MONEY.

A LOT OF HARD WORK, SWEAT, AN' PAIN WENT INTO WHAT I HAVE.

AN' I'M NOT GONNA STAND BY AN' SEE YOU WASTE IT AWAY.

OH NO, DEAR HEART, YOU HAVEN'T BEEN GONE SO LONG THAT

YOU SHOULD TAKE THAT TONE WITH ME.

OH YOU'RE MISTAKEN, DENNIS, I HAVE BEEN GONE THAT LONG. BUT

THAT HASN'T CHANGED ME. ONE OF THE REASONS I LEFT OUR VILLAGE

WAS THAT I COULDN'T SEE MYSELF LIKE THE OTHER WOMEN. BECOMING A

DRUDGE TO THE WHIMS OF THEIR HUSBANDS.

AH, LOU, YOU DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND. IT'S THE MAN THAT

HEADS THE HOUSE AN' MAKES THE RULES. NOW IF I WANTED TO MAKE

YOU A QUEEN, WELL, THEN IT IS A QUEEN YOU'RE GOIN' TO BE, BUT IF

I WANT YOU TO BE A DRUDGE, WELL...OH BUT NOW LET'S...LET'S

NOT HAVE ANY MORE OF THIS SILLY TALK, AH?

CAN'T YOU LOOK AT ME A--AN' SEE THAT I'M NO LONGER THE

LITTLE GIRL YOU CAN FRIGHTEN WITH YOUR THREATS AN' YOUR

BULLYIN'?

I CAN SEE THAT YOU ARE STILL A CHILD OF YOUR FATHER'S.

BEAUTIFUL AN' RADIANT BUT...

WILLFUL, FORGETFUL OF HER PROMISES. OH, DON'T WORRY,

DARLING, DON'T WORRY. YOU'LL COME AROUND TO MY WAY OF

THINKIN' IN THE END. HMM, DARLIN' I...I STILL WANT TO BE

KIND AN' GENTLE TO YOU, AS I WAS WHEN YOU WERE A GIRL IN IRELAND,

AN' I CAN BE IF YOU LET ME. BUT WHEN YOU...YOU DON'T FEEL FULL

APPRECIATION FOR WHAT I DID FOR YOUR FAMILY, OH IT MAKES ME

SO SAD, LOU. NOW PROMISE ME, DARLIN', [SHARPLY] PROMISE ME

THAT YOU'LL FORGET ALL ABOUT MONEY AN' BILLS AN' THINGS LIKE

THAT BECAUSE DON'T YOU SEE, WHAT'S YOURS IS MINE. AN' WHAT'S

GOOD FOR ME IS GOOD FOR YOU.

NOW PROMISE THAT, HUH?

LET GO OF ME, DENNIS!

NO, NO, NO, NO FIRST OF ALL, GIVE ME YOUR ANSWER.

Barkeeper: LEAVE HER ALONE.

WELL, NOW, AN' WHO HAVE WE GOT HERE? AH, LOU, IT'S MY OLD

FRIEND, THE BARKEEPER.

DENNIS, DON'T!

I WON'T FIGHT YOU.

I...I...I'M SORRY, DARLIN', WHAT...WHAT DID YOU SAY?

I WON'T FIGHT YOU.

OH, THAT'S A WISE DECISION, A VERY WISE DECISION INDEED. NOW

YOU SEE I TOLD YOU, YOU'D SEE IT MY WAY IN THE END. I KNEW THAT

YOU'D REMEMBER OUR AGREEMENT.

MR. LARSEN, I'M SORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

YES, MA'AM.

I JUST REMEMBERED WE DON'T HAVE ANY COAL OIL, WOULD YOU GO

DOWN THE GENERAL STORE AN' GET A KEG, PLEASE?

SURELY, MA'AM.

MR. MCCAIN?

MR. LARSEN.

YOU BUSY?

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO CHECK THE STOCK.

WELL WE CAN...STILL TALK, HUH?

TODAY IS A BAD TIME FOR IT.

YEAH, I KNOW, BUT I'VE GOT SOME TIME ON MY HANDS WHILE NILS

IS SHOEIN' MY HORSE. ANYWAY, IT'S TOO HOT TO WAIT OUTSIDE.

YOU DIDN'T WALK OVER HERE JUST TO DISCUSS THE WEATHER

SO...SO DON'T PLAY GAMES.

OH WELL, JUST AN INNOCENT STATEMENT, DON'T GET RILED.

I'M NOT RILED!

WELL, OF COURSE YOU ARE NOT.

I'M BUSY, LUCAS.

HOW IS O'FLARRETY?

CAN'T YOU CALL HIM DENNIS?

HMM, IT'S A QUITE LARGE NAME.

I MUST ADMIT THOUGH, I...WAS SURPRISED WHEN YOU SAID YOU WERE

GETTIN' MARRIED.

IT DIDN'T SEEM TO BOTHER YOU ANY.

THAT'S RIGHT. BUT IT DID BOTHER MARK. I WAS TALKIN' TO

'IM ABOUT IT LAST NIGHT.

WHAT WERE YOU TALKIN' TO 'IM ABOUT?

WELL I WAS TELLIN' 'IM ALL THE THINGS YOU TOLD ME ABOUT

THIS O'FLARRETY.

AH...WHAT IS SO DIFFICULT ABOUT THE NAME OF DENNIS?

YOU'RE GETTIN' RILED AGAIN.

I AM NOT GETTIN' RILED!

I'M SORRY.

OH, WILL YOU PLEASE STOP SAYIN' "I'M SORRY"?

WELL, LIKE I...WAS TELLIN' MARK, UH, THIS, UH, DENNIS...

O'FLARRETY, THERE IS A REAL MAN, I SAID, HARD-WORKIN',

INDUSTRIOUS, A MAN OF HONOR, LOYAL, THE KIND OF A MAN

ANY WOMAN WOULD BE PROUD AN' THANKFUL TO MARRY.

I'D APPRECIATE IT IF YOU DIDN'T TELL ME HOW TO RUN MY

LIFE, I'D ALSO APPRECIATE IT IF YOU DIDN'T DISCUSS MY AFFAIRS

WITH MARK.

WELL, NOW, MARK FIGURES HE'S A FRIEND OF YOURS, SINCE HE HAS

YOUR BEST INTEREST AT HEART-- DO YOU MIND IF I'M JUDGIN'

MY OWN BEST INTEREST?

OF COURSE, I CAN SEE YOU ARE VERY HAPPY.

MEN! THERE'S NOTHIN' AGGRAVATES ME LIKE THE SUPERIOR

MALE WHO THINKS HE KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYBODY'S

CHARACTER.

DID, UH, DID I GIVE THAT IMPRESSION?

YOU KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHIN' ABOUT MR. O'FLARRETY.

DENNIS.

I KNOW HIS NAME! AN' I KNOW A LOT MORE ABOUT HIM THAN YOU DO.

IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT DENNIS O'FLARRETY IS--

IS WHAT, LOU?

JUST STAY AWAY FROM 'IM.

PLEASE, LUCAS, BELIEVE ME, YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHIN' ABOUT HIM.

HE'LL DO ANYTHIN' TO ANYONE WHO GETS IN HIS WAY.

THEN SEND 'IM PACKIN'.

I CAN'T.

YOU CAN IF YOU WANT TO.

IT'S ENOUGH I GOT ONE MAN TELLIN' ME WHAT TO DO WITHOUT

ANOTHER ONE GIVING ME ORDERS.

LOU, I DON'T MEAN TO GIVE YOU ORDERS, I'M JUST TRYIN' TO HELP.

I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP.

I DON'T WANT ANY MAN'S HELP ANY MORE.

LOU, IF YOU'RE IN TROUBLE-- TROUBLE? TROUBLE IS WHAT GOT

ME BEHOLDEN TO ONE MAN.

I'D JUST AS SOON IT DIDN'T GET ME BEHOLDEN TO ANOTHER.

IF YOU'RE SO INTERESTED, WHY DON'T YOU JUST COME IN?

I AM JUST STANDIN' QUIETLY HERE PROTECTIN' MY PROPERTY.

IS THAT WHAT SHE IS TO YOU?

THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, MR. MCCAIN. BESIDES IT'S A VERY

ARROGANT QUESTION AND CALLS FOR AN APOLOGY.

THAT, MY FRIEND, IS A MATTER OF OPINION.

LUCAS, DENNIS IS RIGHT.

WHAT'S BETWEEN US IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

NONE OF MY BUSINESS?

PLEASE, GO.

GOOD BYE, LOU.

YOU DID VERY WELL, VERY WELL INDEED, LOU, THAT IS IF YOU HAVE

ANY REGARD FOR THAT GENTLEMAN.

WELL...IT WASN'T ONLY WOMEN TALKIN', IT...IT WAS NILS AN'

MR. SWEENEY.

WILL YOU FORGET ABOUT IT, AN' PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR

STUDIES, SON?

PA, LOU IS OUR FRIEND. HOW COME WE'RE NOT DOIN' ANYTHIN'?

AN' I MEAN DOIN', AN' NOT TALKIN'.

WELL, BECAUSE I WAS TOLD IT WAS NONE OF MY BUSINESS, MARK.

EVERYONE KNOWS HE'S JUST BLEEDIN' HER DRY. BUYIN'

THINGS AN' THEN PAYIN' FOR THEM WITH HER MONEY.

IS THAT ALL YOU KIDS DO?

LISTEN TO SOME OLD WOMEN'S GOSSIP?

WELL, IF...IF IT WAS ME, AN' I WAS A DOIN' FRIEND INSTEAD OF

A TALKIN' FRIEND, I'D...I'D SADDLE UP AN' GO DO SOMETHIN'

ABOUT IT.

THANKS FOR SOME GOOD FATHERLY ADVICE.

[HUMMING] AH, GOOD NIGHT, LOU DARLIN', I'M OFF TO SWEENEY'S

FOR A NIGHTCAP AN' A GAME OF CARDS. NOW YOU GO TO BED LIKE I

TOLD YOU. GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP, AN' YOU'LL BE FEELIN' LIKE A

QUEEN, GOOD NIGHT, MY LOVE.

[HUMMING] WELL, NOW, THERE YOU ARE, MY

LOVE. WHAT...WHAT'S THIS? WHAT HAVE WE GOT HERE? TRAVELIN' BAG?

ARE YOU GOING SOMEPLACE? AN OVERNIGHT TRIP, PERHAPS, HUH?

WHY ARE YOU LOOKIN' SO FRIGHTENED, DARLIN'? OH, I KNOW

OF COURSE, YOU...YOU THOUGHT ME TO BE DOWN AT SWEENEY'S. BUT SO

I WAS TOO, BUT WELL, YOU...YOU LOOKED SO PALE WHEN I WENT OUT,

I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE YOU.

I'M NOT GONNA MARRY YOU, DENNIS.

OH NOW, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYIN', YOU'RE UNDER A

STRAIN, THAT'S IT.

MY FATHER WERE ALIVE TO KNOW YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE, HE...HE

WOULDN'T HOLD ME TO THAT PROMISE. I BELIEVE THAT WITH ALL

MY HEART.

YOU RAN AWAY ONCE BEFORE AN' NOW YOU'RE DOIN' THE SAME THING

AGAIN. BUT YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT, DARLIN', PROMISE ME THAT

YOU'LL NEVER RUN AWAY AGAIN, PROMISE ME. OH, I...I KNOW

WHAT'S TROUBLIN' YOU, ALL RIGHT.

YOU'RE SAD AN' LONELY HERE AMONG THESE STRANGERS. AH, WHAT DO

THEY KNOW OF THE...LONELY LONGINGS OF AN IRISHWOMAN'S

HEART IN THE WEE COLD HOURS OF THE MORNIN'? BUT I DO, I KNOW,

LOU. YOU'LL NEVER BE LONELY WITH ME. I COULD MAKE YOU HAPPY

AGAIN, LOU. I COULD MAKE YOU VERY HAPPY.

LUCAS MCCAIN! OH, THIS IS A GREAT PLEASURE INDEED. IN FACT,

I MIGHT SAY AN UNEXPECTED PLEASURE. AN' YOU'RE JUST IN

TIME TOO, JUST IN TIME FOR A DRINK TO CELEBRATE OUR

FORTHCOMIN' NUPTIALS. WELL, NOW, WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE, HUH? I

NEEDN'T ASK, THE BEST THERE IS OF COURSE, IRISH WHISKEY.

NOTHIN' FINER TO DRINK IN THE WORLD. SIR, ONE FOR YOU AN' ONE

FOR ME. HERE YOU ARE, MR. MCCAIN. OH, YOU'RE...NOT A

DRINKIN' MAN, HUH? OH WELL, IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE

ANYWAY, I'LL DRINK FOR BOTH OF US. TO YOUR VERY GOOD HEALTH,

MY LOVE.

AH, SUCH A PITY, SUCH A PITY INDEED, BUT A MAN SHOULDN'T

INTERFERE IN ANOTHER MAN'S DOMESTIC PROBLEMS.

WELL, NOW, HUH?

WELL, YOU SAID IT WAS NONE OF MY BUSINESS, SO I GUESS YOU WANT ME

TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES.

[LAUGHS] MISS LOU, I CAN'T HELP

WONDERIN', IF YOU HAD GOTTEN TO RUN AWAY, WOULD THAT MEAN THAT

WE'D HAVE NEVER SEEN YOU AGAIN?

YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER THAT, LOU.

IT'S A GOOD QUESTION BUT...

I'M NOT SURE OF THE ANSWER, MARK. YOU KNOW, RUNNIN' AWAY

DOESN'T SOLVE ANY PROBLEMS, BUT AT THE TIME, IT WAS ALL I COULD

THINK OF. GETTIN' RID OF SOME OF THE OLD-WORLD CUSTOMS I GREW UP

WITH IS MORE EASILY SAID THAN DONE.

WELL, IT'S ALL OVER NOW.

THAT'S JUST WHAT I MEAN.

WHAT?

THIS. IT'S AN OLD IRISH CUSTOM TO KNOCK ON WOOD SO THE

LEPRECHAUNS WILL HEAR AND KNOW YOU ARE THANKIN' THEM FOR A

PIECE OF GOOD LUCK.

REALLY?

REALLY.
