- Jimmy Malone: I wish to Heaven you were a woman, Dannie. A fellow could fall in love with you, and marry you with some satisfaction.
- Mary Malone: Since you look so wise, why don't you tell me why? Oh, if you have any mercy, tell me why!
- Jones: I'm just asking you why, if you played straight with Dannie about the girl, you never have had the face to go to confession since you married her.
- Father Michael: The pot at the foot of the rainbow is just now running over with pure gold of perfect contentment.
- Mary Malone: If you have cared for me enough to stay here all these years and see that I had the bist tratemint you could get for me, why didn't you care for me enough more to save me this?
- Jimmy Malone: Oh, it ain't so much what a woman really spinds; it's what you know she would spind if she had the chance.
- Jimmy Malone: I wish I'd stayed out of matrimony, and then maybe I could iver have a cint of me own. You ought to be glad you haven't a woman to consume ivery penny you earn before it reaches your pockets, Dannie Mcnoun.
- Dannie Mcnoun: It's na your fault that she preferred ye. Everybody did. But it is your fault that I've stayed on here. I tried to go, and ye wouldna let me. So for fifteen years, ye have lain with the woman I love, and I have lain alone a few yards of ye. If that ain't Man-Hell, try some other on me, and see if it will touch me!
- Dannie Mcnoun: There is a pot of gold, of the purest gold ever smelted, at its foot, and we've been born and own a good living richt there. An' the gold is there; that I know, wealth to shame any bilious millionaire, and both of us missing the pot when we hold the location. Ye've the first chance, mon, fra in your life is the great prize mine will forever lack. I canna get to the bottom of the pot, but I'm going to come close to it as I can; and as for ye, empty it! Take it all! It's yours! It's fra the mon who finds it, and we own the location.
- Mary Malone: She vows and declares that she feeds her chickens and pigs better food twice a day than people fed her in New York.
- Jimmy Malone: I'd rather go to confission than to go alone. What's the fun of fishin' alone? All the fun there is to fishin' is to watch the other fellow's eyes when you pull in a big one, and try to hide yours from him when he gets it
