- Fee: You really think Meggie doesn't love you? She doesn't want Luke, she wants a father for the children. All you would have to do is say one word and she would be with you in a heartbeat
- Meggie Cleary O'Neill: We can still see each other, you're part of my life!
- Ralph: I'm part of your past.
- Meggie Cleary O'Neill: You know, I lied to you the other day. I never stopped loving you. I never could.
- Meggie Cleary O'Neill: [Ralph touches her cheek] It's just... I'm so confused. I don't understand what you want from me.
- Fee: But Dane is not your son!
- Luke O'Neill: [laughs in disbelief] Who then?
- Fee: [whispering] Can't you guess?
- Luke O'Neill: [face clouding as it dawns on him that Dane's father is actually Ralph de Bricassart] That BLOODY Priest... I'll kill him!
- Meggie Cleary O'Neill: When I'm beside you, it's as close to heaven as I can imagine. But even when you're making love it's as if you're trying to reach something beyond me. Look, it's a wonderful idea; the two of us living together in the wilderness. But it's not what you really want.
- Ralph: What I want is you.
