Mitchell Ryan: Burke Devlin

Quotes 

• Sam Evans : Money? Ha! The Collins family has money, and what has it got them? Tell me that, Burke, old friend. Now what has it got 'em?

  Burke Devlin : Ghosts.

  Sam Evans : Ghosties and ghoulies and long-legged beasties and things that go bump in the night. I can sense their presence every night when I look up to that house on Widows' Hill.

• Burke Devlin : What about a night like this, Sam? Don't you think the ghosts are out like mad tonight?

  Sam Evans : In droves. Like, like herds of buffalo. Frightening everything in their path.

  Burke Devlin : Good!

  Sam Evans : Good?

  Burke Devlin : Can't you just see it? A whole herd of ghosts just trampling through the front hall at Collinwood?

  Sam Evans : [chuckling]  Who needs a herd? I only need one.

  Burke Devlin : Alright, just one. One to terrify them. To scare them like they deserve to be scared.

• Burke Devlin : Well, I tell ya, there's one person up there I wouldn't want to scare.

  Sam Evans : And who would you spare, Burke, in this crusade of yours?

  Burke Devlin : Vicky Winters. I wouldn't want to scare her. I like her more than anyone on that hill.

• Sam Evans : Oh, I wish ol' Bill were here, sitting right in this chair having a little drink with us.

  Burke Devlin : Maybe he is.

  Sam Evans : You're drunk.

  Burke Devlin : Oh, no, no. The ghosts are out tonight. I heard you say so yourself.

  Sam Evans : Like herds of buffalo!

  Burke Devlin : Hey, tell me something, Sam, tell me something.

  Sam Evans : What?

  Burke Devlin : Do you really believe that Bill Malloy was murdered? You do, don't you?

  Sam Evans : Yes.

  Burke Devlin : Well, why then wouldn't his ghost be out tonight, trying to find out who killed him?

  Sam Evans : You're right, Burke, you're absolutely right.

  Burke Devlin : Of course I am.

  Sam Evans : May he find whatever he's after.

  [stands up and raises his glass in a toast] 

  Sam Evans : To Bill Malloy.

  Burke Devlin : To Bill Malloy.

  Sam Evans : [begins to sing, Burke soon joins in]  What do you do with a drunken sailor? What do you do with a drunken sailor?...
