Mr. Washburn: The next is merely you giving up your American citizenship.
Eddie O'Rourke: What's that?
Mr. Washburn: You give up your American citizenship.
Eddie O'Rourke: That's it. Why?
Holman - Maria's Uncle: It's customary in our family.
Eddie O'Rourke: It's not customary in my family.
Holman - Maria's Uncle: Your family?
Eddie O'Rourke: Yes, I've got a family. I didn't grow on a bush.
Holman - Maria's Uncle: I don't like your tone of voice, young man.
Eddie O'Rourke: I can't help that.
Holman - Maria's Uncle: You'll apologize, and immediately.
Eddie O'Rourke: Or?
Holman - Maria's Uncle: Or? Or, there'll be no marriage.
Eddie O'Rourke: I was just coming to that.
Holman - Maria's Uncle: What's that?
Eddie O'Rourke: I'm not marrying "her highness."
Holman - Maria's Uncle: You're not marrying her highness?
Mr. Washburn: Let's not be hasty. Perhaps we should discuss this alone.
Eddie O'Rourke: No, it's better this way. I'm not giving up any American citizenship. I've never gotten over how lucky I was to be born here in the first place. And I didn't ask any "highness" to get married. I asked a girl I thought was a homeless refugee who was getting a job as an upstairs maid. And I thought other things about her, too. You'd be surprised what I thought.
Holman - Maria's Uncle: This man is demented.
Eddie O'Rourke: I couldn't take an allowance from my wife and I couldn't ask you for permission to leave the room. I wasn't raised that way. But even that's not important. But what do I say to my kid when he asks me what I did in the war. You know what I have to say? Son, there was a big fight, the biggest fight the world was ever in, the most important. But I couldn't make it. I was at a flower show. I'd be ashamed of myself. And I thought that you were ashamed when you had to tell those woman that you couldn't sew or knit or cook or anything but you could learn something. Even knitting a sweater helps. And if it's knit badly, I'll wear it just the same. You knit and I'll fly an airplane. What do you say, Mary?
Holman - Maria's Uncle: Don't you dignify him with an answer.
Eddie O'Rourke: I want you to marry me.
Holman - Maria's Uncle: You heard me, Maria.
Eddie O'Rourke: I'm crazy about you, Mary.
Holman - Maria's Uncle: Maria!
Eddie O'Rourke: He can't do anything after we're married. We'll have a lot of fun, Mary, if we love each other.
Holman - Maria's Uncle: Maria, our family goes back 1200 years.
Eddie O'Rourke: That's overrated, Mary. Mine goes back to Adam and Eve
Eddie O'Rourke: What's that?
