According to the IMDB ,
But surely someone somewhere must know? I can’t remember if Maureen O’Hara’s mouth is visible for that line or not; if it is, wouldn’t a good lip reader be able to tell what she’s saying?
Myself, I always thought she was telling Sean that she was expecting a little bundle of joy. What do you think?
“After the wrap party, meet me in my trailer.”
Well, a big part of the plot had to do with the fact that Maureen O’Hara wasn’t having sex with John Wayne, even after their marriage, because she insisted on having her dowry first.
You still couldn’t SAY that in American movies during the Fifties, so they had to find ways to imply it or insinuate it, At one point, Maureen tells the priest (Ward Bond) about it in Gaelic, so the censors couldn’t complain.
At the end of the movie, Maureen has her dowry (which she burns- it was never about the money, for her), so she and the Duke can get it on any time now.
My hunch is, she was whispering, “Let’s go back to the cottage and make the two-backed beast,” though not in those words. The censors couldn’t complain about words they couldn’t hear, but I think the subtle implication was that Maureen and John were going to have sex.
“Have you seen Lost In Translation?”
I think it’s time to take old one-eye to the optometrist.
But we know what he says there! Google it!
“Hey, John. Want to find out if the curtains match the carpeting?”
“Sean, it’s time for the skin boat to make a trip to tuna town!”
“Time to go saddle up, pilgrim.”
Yep, you’re definitely a woman.
Her mouth is not visible and Wayne laughs in response. I hardly think that he would react to the news that his wife, whom he had not slept with, was preggers.
You know something, I don’t want to know. I think the fact that there are some secrets in the world is a cool thing.
Well, I always assumed that the coda was some time after the main events of the movie. Sean and Mary-Kate are on swell terms with each other (so they’ve had enough time to put the events behind them), and Sean has had time to order rose bushes and have them arrive. Surely that’s enough time to indulge in procreative activities.
I thought they did, then the next morning he wakes up alone and Barry Fitzgerald tells him that she’s left him (and he then drags her from the train station to her brother’s field to watch the big fistfight.)
I always thought they Did It that night too - JW arises acting like he just had a night of humping like a crazed weasel. Wasn’t that night right after the priest gave Mary Kate a good talking-to about her marital obligations?
Well, they had consummated the marriage the night before the big fight. The night before was when Sean had the talk with the Reverand (and Mary Kate had had her talk with Father Lonergan) and had come home to Mary Kate and they have this scene in front of the fireplace where they don’t say anything and he holds her in his arms and the scene fades to black. The next morning he comes out of the bedroom with this great big satisfied smile on his face. And then he found out Kate had left him.
Well, I done been simulposted.
Yeah I guess you’re right. I’d forgot about that night.
Y’all are funny.
But now that I think about it, Mary Kate wouldn’t have had time to know she was knocked up, would she? At the end of the movie, when everybody’s waving, it’s because the Archbishop or whatever and the Reverend Mr. Playfair are cruising by. (“Now when the Reverend Mr. Playfair, good man that he is, drives by, I want ya’s all to cheer like Protestants!” I love that line.) And this presumably would have been just a day or two after the big fight, or 3 days after Mary Kate and Sean finally did the humpty-hump.
So it probably wassomething along the lines of, “Hey, Sean, wanna play hide the shilleleigh?”
