The Thorn Birds: The Missing Years

Fee:
Don't do to Meggie what you did to Mary Carson. Don't destroy her with love!

Fee:
You really think Meggie doesn't love you? She doesn't want Luke, she wants a father for the children. All you would have to do is say one word and she would be with you in a heartbeat

Ralph:
Does God want me for my ability or Mary Carson's money?

Meggie Cleary O'Neill:
We can still see each other, you're part of my life!

Ralph:
I'm part of your past.

Meggie Cleary O'Neill:
You know, I lied to you the other day. I never stopped loving you. I never could.

Meggie Cleary O'Neill:
[Ralph touches her cheek] It's just... I'm so confused. I don't understand what you want from me.

Ralph:
[after successfully beating up Luke O'Neill] Dane is mine!

Ralph:
Meggie, my list of sins is long enough!

Fee:
But Dane is not your son!

Luke O'Neill:
[laughs in disbelief] Who then?

Fee:
[whispering] Can't you guess?

Luke O'Neill:
[face clouding as it dawns on him that Dane's father is actually Ralph de Bricassart] That BLOODY Priest... I'll kill him!

Meggie Cleary O'Neill:
When I'm beside you, it's as close to heaven as I can imagine. But even when you're making love it's as if you're trying to reach something beyond me. Look, it's a wonderful idea; the two of us living together in the wilderness. But it's not what you really want.

Ralph:
What I want is you.
