[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]
-
King Brian : Three wishes I'll grant ye, great wishes an' small! But you wish a fourth and you'll lose them all!
[laughs]

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 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!

[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!
-
King Brian : [singing] Oh singin's no sin, and drinkin's no crime, if you have one drink only, just one at at a time.
-
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.
-
King Brian : [to Darby, about Michael] And him a Dublin man!
-
King Brian : [to Darby] You murderin', deceitful, blind staggerin' toolameron!
-
King Brian : [to Darby] How would you like to have me put a hump on your back!

King Brian : [original soundtrack] A Phaidrig Óg!
Phadrig Oge : Sea, a thiarna!
King Brian : Faigh an Stradivarius.
Phadrig Oge : Seo chugainn, a thiarna!
