    Michaeleen was referring to buttermilk in that scene--this being one of my all-time favorite movies I just about have the dialogue by heart. He might have thought the same thing about green beer too, if he had ever encountered it. If I'm not mistaken that is an American custom to adulterate good beer in such a manner.

    Oh no, they never use good beer for that, just the cheap crap.

    Yes, I know...in the scene where Sean and Michaeleen come to speak to Red Will Danaher about Mary Kate and Sean. That should have been a paraphrase, oops -- it was supposed to be an attempt at humour that failed! ;)

    I'm a bit of a "Quiet Maniac" myself! :mrgreen: Check out Des McHale's "The Complete Guide to the Quiet Man", btw.
