Quotes 

• Luke Macahan : Well when's the stew's gonna be ready to eat, aunt Molly?

  Molly Culhane : Oh, well now a person doesn't eat until he's done his chores. If that's not too subtle a hint, hay to be stored, eh?

  Luke Macahan : Well, I can't do very much on an empty stomach.

  Laura Macahan : You've eaten half a meal already.

  Luke Macahan : Well as soon as I get the other half I'll be rearing to go.

  Molly Culhane : Oh...

  Josh Macahan : [Josh enters, carrying a heavy sack of flour]  Well I sure could use some help around here.

  Molly Culhane : Ah good, the flour. Now we can get on with our baking.

  Jessie Macahan : Josh, Luke can't help you right now, he hasn't eaten yet.

  [Laura laughs] 

  Molly Culhane : Luke!

  [gestures for him to help his brother] 

  Josh Macahan : What's Jessie's talkin' bout?

  Luke Macahan : What women usually talk about: nothing in particular.

• Laura Macahan : Now, now watch it, you're gettin' it all over the place!

  Josh Macahan : Ah, don't worry, Laura, I'll help ya clean it up later.

  Laura Macahan : You'll help me clean it up? You clean it up, you made the mess.

  Luke Macahan : Hey, ain't neither of us cleanin' anything up. It's man's work to make the mess and women's work to clean up after.
