Quotes 

• Jonathan Garrett : [to Mary]  It's been a while since I've seen you, but in my mind it was often. Very often.

• Mary Mulvane : You've done so much...!

  Jonathan Garrett : For you. I did it for you. Marry me, Mary.

  Mary Mulvane : I can't!

  Jonathan Garrett : Why?

  Mary Mulvane : I can't...! I'm tied to Ireland. By blood. Too many people back there. The living and the buried. I can't cut that tie, Jonathan. Me own heart would bleed to death inside me.

  [tearfully:] 

  Mary Mulvane : You've done so much... You deserve so much! Not a walking dead woman!

  Jonathan Garrett : I love you, Mary. I did this.

  Mary Mulvane : [re the picked flowers]  They need water, poor things. Taken from the roots, they need water.

• Jonathan Garrett : [re overcast Australian landscape]  It's got a, kind of... beauty, Mary.

  Mary Mulvane : A grey kind. It's not Ireland. It's not home!

• Mary Mulvane : [after they witnessed the bolter led away to a fake trial prior to surely be hanged]  And that's how it will always be.

  Jonathan Garrett : And is it different in Ireland?
