The Quiet Man1952

Sean:
Maybe it's just one of those things in the scrapbook, but now when you carry it around in here...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? The purse, a piece of the gate. Lousy money.

Reverend Playfair:
And now money is behind your trouble with Danaher.

Sean:
They think I'm afraid to fight him, all the friends I've made here, even my wife.

Reverend Playfair:
But aren't you in a way?

Sean:
Did you ever kill a man? Well I have, and all this talk about her big fortune. It's not that important.

Reverend Playfair:
Perhaps it is to her. 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.

Sean:
To me it isn't, and worth fightin' for.

Reverend Playfair:
Is your wife's love worth fightin' for?

Sean:
I don't know. About all I know is I can't fight or won't fight unless I'm mad enough to kill, and if that means losin' her, I don't know. Maybe she doesn't love me enough.

Reverend Playfair:
It's a difficult situation. But I think you'll find the answer in God's good time.
