  John Cassidy : Thank you Daisy.

  Daisy Battles : Ah well, it's all for old Ireland anyway.

  [he smiles at her endearingly] 

  Daisy Battles : I suppose you have to go now.

  [they smile, he turns to leave, and the scene fades out] 

• Daisy Battles : [teasingly]  Oh, I can see you're the most terrible man. A girl in her senses would run for her life.

  [exits to her bedroom] 

• Daisy Battles : Freedom yet, you bastard!

  [John gives Daisy an aggressive kiss]

  Daisy Battles : Oh, no. I have an uncle, as well.

  John Cassidy : You have a what?

  [Daisy smiles] 

  John Cassidy : Oh.

  Daisy Battles : I tried your kind of work once. Pickin' fruit to make jam. Sixty hours a week at eight P. an hour. It's not for me.

• Daisy Battles : [singing]  Come back, Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff, Come home, Paddy Reilly, to me. The Garden of Eden...

  [walks into the bedroom doorway wearing a cotton slip, John walks towards her and gives her an aggressive kiss] 

  Daisy Battles : Oh, you're a terrible man altogether.

  [John picks her up and throws her on the bed, Daisy laughs] 

• Daisy Battles : That's enough of it, Mr. Mullen! In broad daylight, too!

  Mick Mullen : I'm sorry, Miss, I - well - I lost my head.

  Daisy Battles : [straightening her dress]  We may be fightin' for freedom; but, not that far.
