[inside the Death Coach]
Darby O'Gill : In the years to come, maybe you'll keep an eye on Katie and Michael.
King Brian : I'll do that. T'is a pity you won't be there to see them married.
Darby O'Gill : Ah, it's better for the old to die than the young. In the end, we all have to go.
King Brian : That ye do.
[pause, King Brian gets a sly look on his face]
King Brian : I wish I could go with you all the way.
Darby O'Gill : [sighs] I wish ye could, too.
King Brian : [laughing] An' you a knowledgeable man! Ha ha ha ha! Darby, you've wished your *fourth* wish!
[Darby starts]
King Brian : Good-bye, Darby me friend!
[Brian magically pushes him out of the coach; the coach drives off with Brian inside, still laughing]

Darby O'Gill : [calling for help] King Brian! King Brian! King Brian!
King Brian : [materializing behind him] What is it, man?
Darby O'Gill : Your Highness!
King Brian : What is it?
Darby O'Gill : [pointing] It's the Coiste-bodhar! The death coach! Send it away! It's comin' for Katie! Send it away!
King Brian : But it's not within my powers, man! Once it sets out it can never return empty!
Darby O'Gill : Then give me me third wish, and let it take me instead!
King Brian : You don't know what you're askin' for!
Darby O'Gill : You promised! Don't break your word!
King Brian : Darby O'Gill, never in me born days...
Darby O'Gill : Give me me third wish!
King Brian : [shakes his head] More's the pity. Granted.

[Darby finds Michael unconscious]
Darby O'Gill : [smells alcohol on Michael's shirt, slaps him awake] Is it drunk ye are?
[Michael looks up at him, puzzled; smells his shirt and looks at the bottle in his hand, then rubs the back of his head where he was beaten]
Darby O'Gill : Who did it, lad?
Michael McBride : I don't know, but I can guess.
Darby O'Gill : Where's Katie?
Michael McBride : [worried] She's gone after the horse!
Darby O'Gill : [angrily] Did ye let her go alone, in the dark of the night!
Michael McBride : She was in a terror rage at me! An' sure 'twas your fault for not tellin' her the truth in the first place!
Darby O'Gill : [worried] God forgive me, she'll be chasin' a pooka.

Paddy Scanlon : Stay away from Knocknasheega, Darby. Ye moil an' meddle wi' that little king, he'll put the come-hither on ye, an' make you his slave forevermore.
Darby O'Gill : Do ye think I'm a babe in arms?
Paddy Scanlon : You are to the likes of 'im! Five thousand years old he is, an' every year of his life he's learned a knew trick.
Darby O'Gill : And *I've* learned a hundred of 'em!

[Darby is inside the fairy mountain]
King Brian : Once you're here, there's no goin' back.
Darby O'Gill : [standing] I gotta get back to Katie!
King Brian : Ah, you needn't worry about Katie. She'll give you a grand wake an' then she'll forget all about you.
Darby O'Gill : [angrily] Mind what you say about Katie!
King Brian : Calm yourself now, calm yourself!
Darby O'Gill : What've I ever done to you?
King Brian : Nothing, Darby.
Darby O'Gill : Who tells all the stories about ye?
King Brian : You do, Darby.
Darby O'Gill : Aye, who makes the women watch where they're throwin' their wash water when you an' your lads are out walking invisible?
King Brian : You do, Darby.
Darby O'Gill : An' who makes the men tip their hats respectful to every swirl o' dust?
King Brian : You. You've done grand.
Darby O'Gill : So you put the come-hither on me, that's 'ow ye pay me back! You ungrateful little frainey! Your heart's as cold as a white Christmas!
[the other leprechauns start shouting angrily]
Darby O'Gill : They better watch what they're sayin'. I speak Gaelic too! Now you listen to me!
King Brian : No, you listen to me! Phadrig Oge was standin' under the white thorn tree by the summer house when his Lordship gave you the bad news today. And, the moment I heard you were in trouble I swore I'd take you out of it! And if you're the good, decent man I think you are, you'll be showin' me a little bit of gratitude!
Darby O'Gill : [abashed] I am grateful.
King Brian : Then you can forget the tears an' troubles of the world outside. There's nothin' but fun and diversion here!

Darby O'Gill : This wasn't like any old Leprechaun that you wouldn't say hello twice to. But who was he, but Brian Conners himself, the King of them all! But I got me eye fixed on 'im. They can't escape, ye know, as long as ye don't look away. Now the night was dark, and the mountain was covered with mist, and the moon was no bigger than the light from a hay-penny candle. But it didn't hide 'im from me, for there he stood, with an angry little gob on him, an' his face as fierce as fire...

[Michael and Katie are about to kiss as Darby and Brian look on]
King Brian : Kiss her! Kiss her! Go on, kiss her!
[Michael sidesteps Katie and starts to walk away]
King Brian : Agh! An him a *Dublin* man!
[Brian throws his crown on the ground in frustration]
Darby O'Gill : [Watching out the window] Look, look, look!
[Katie runs after Michael, pulls him back and kisses him]
King Brian : [dancing while Darby claps a beat] Will you wish your wish now?
Darby O'Gill : I will indeed!
-
[Katie is lost on Knocknasheega; a ghostly wail is heard]
Darby O'Gill : The banshee!
Michael McBride : Maybe it's just the wind.
Darby O'Gill : It's the wail of the banshee, the same as I heard the night Katie's mother was taken! She'll be destroyed entirely!
-
King Brian : Well, Darby O'Gill, 'tis pleased and delighted I am to see ya again.
Darby O'Gill : Thank you, Sir. It's a grand place you've got here.
King Brian : It does well enough. Sit down, man. Over there.
-
Darby O'Gill : I declare my soul, when I tell 'em this, down at the pub, they won't believe a word of it.
King Brian : Aye, you can't do that, Darby.
-
Darby O'Gill : Get ready... for the grand surprise
[opens sack]
Darby O'Gill : It's no rabbit.
Michael McBride : [looks in sack] Rabbit or hare, what's the odds?
Darby O'Gill : Rabbit or hare? You're looking at Brian of Knocknasheega, king of all the Leprechauns!
Michael McBride : 'Twas a rabbit I saw.

Darby O'Gill : [to Cleopatra] Ah, there y'are. What do you think you're doin'? Do you want to break a leg? Whoa... Whoa, there! Whoa... Whoa, I tell ya! Whoa, whoa, whoa, girl! Whoa! Get down! Whoa! Get down!

Darby O'Gill : [to the Banshee] The Banshee! Keep away! Keep away! Keep away from her! Keep off! Keep off, now! Keep off, now!
