MATT
Would you have me go, or would you have me stay?
MURTAGH COSGAR Don't be talking of going or staying, and you the last of them.
MATT But I will be talking of it. You must treat me differently if you want me to stay. You must treat me differently to the way you treat Sally.
MURTAGH COSGAR You were always treated differently, Matt. In no house that ever I remember was there a boy treated as well as you are treated here.
MATT The houses that you remember are different from the houses that are now. Will you have me go, or will you have me stay?
MURTAGH COSGAR You're very threatening. I'd have you stay. For the sake of the name, I'd have you stay.
MATT
Let us take hands on it, then.
MURTAGH COSGAR
Wait, we'll see what you want first.
MATT You have no feeling. I'd go out of this house, only I want to give you a chance.
MURTAGH COSGAR Stop. We can have kindness in this. We needn't be beating each other down, like men at a fair.
