"Annie's not one of your barmaids to be seduced, then abandoned the next day!"

"He's a thief! He's a common highwayman! You're mad! You know what kind of man he is. You know I like Tom, but he's unsuitable."

"Your honor, give me a few well-trained men and I will finish the job once and for all."

"Now that you can shoot, what are you going to do?" "Kill the man who murdered my father." "I've just lost a husband... do you think I want to burry my son as well? Killing is the Doone way, not ours." "You can't stop me hating them." "How could I? When I have so much hate in my own heart?" "I will never forgive, and never forget."

"Forgive me, I'm sorry. There was nothing I could do. I swear to you."

"This ring is my promise: I'll never leave you alone again."

"Lorna you don't know how dangerous it is here now."

"How can we ever be together?"

"Big, Dirty, Smelly!"

"Didn't I tell you Judge Jeffreys was a great man?" "Oh he's too great for my taste, uncle." "Too great for the Doones, I'll wager."

"It seems that neither of us have a partner, Miss Huckaback." "Please, call me Ruth." "Would you like to dance, Ruth?" "I'm afraid I'm you last resort." "There's no one here I'd rather dance with."

"Annie's not one of your barmaids to be seduced, then abandoned the next day!"

"He's a thief! He's a common highwayman! You're mad! You know what kind of man he is. You know I like Tom, but he's unsuitable."
