The Quiet Woman1951
Duncan McLeod:
Morning, Jane. Lovely morning.
Jane Foster:
Good morning, Mr McLeod.
Duncan McLeod:
Did I mention my other name was Duncan?
Jane Foster:
I believe you did. I don't remember ever mentioning that mine was Jane.
Duncan McLeod:
Obviously an oversight
Jane Foster:
[looking at him painting] I'm glad to see that you do something else besides smuggling.
Duncan McLeod:
Oh, yes.
Jane Foster:
Why do you smuggle?
Duncan McLeod:
Keeps me out of mischief. I'm afraid you take rather a poor view of me, don't you?
Jane Foster:
Possibly. It's quite a normal view to take of people who break laws. I mean, willfully break them.
Duncan McLeod:
Trying to tell me you've never broken one yourself?
Jane Foster:
What do you mean by that?
Duncan McLeod:
Well we all do from time to time, don't we? Some more than others. You know - extra rations; dodging income tax and so forth. Quite human little failings really.
Jane Foster:
Does smuggling liquor across the Channel come under the category of a human little failing?
Duncan McLeod:
Oh, definitely.
Jane Foster:
If you ever get caught, I hope the Customs authorities take the same view.
Duncan McLeod:
Thank you! Didn't think you cared that much.
Jane Foster:
I don't! If you want the truth, Mr McLeod, I hate people like you. You don't smuggle because you need the money, you do it out of bravado; because you think it's smart to get away with something.
Duncan McLeod:
I wouldn't say that...
Jane Foster:
Your worse than a real crook because you can look at what you're doing objectively and know that it's wrong. You think it's a good joke. But it's not. It's bad...
Duncan McLeod:
You look wonderful!
Jane Foster:
You make me quite sick, Mr McLeod!
