Pony Sugrue Quotes in Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959)

Michael McBride: What kind of man are you at all, who doesn't believe in the little people?

Pony Sugrue: Maybe you'd like to find out.

Michael McBride: Indeed I would. You know, someone beat me over the head that night, and I thought it was the little people. But when I spoke to King Brian about it, he said that you should take the consequences.

Pony Sugrue: What consequences?

Michael McBride: Indeed, that's what I asked his Majesty. And you know what he said? He said, "If I were you, I'd poke the blackguard in the face."

[they fight; Pony is knocked down]

Pony Sugrue: [to the folk in the pub] I've heard enough silly blabber about little people to last me a lifetime.
