Dialog goof? Mary Kate also a widow?

Referring to the scene where Sean and Will stop brawling for a break in Cohan's bar shows Will and Sean gaining respect for each other while having a glass of porter.

Specifically, Will looks right at Sean and says: "your widow" then turns to Cohen and says "me sister" turns back to Sean and finishes "she could have done a lot worse" referring to her marrying Sean.

Was Mary Kate supposed to be a widow or was Will's line supposed to be "your wife - me sister, could have done a lot worse"?

Thoughts?

Danaher is implying that he's going to kill Sean once the fight resumes.

That makes sense, yes, although at that point when he said it Will seemed to be friendly with Sean. I didn't think Will could be that quick with a quip, but that must be the answer though.
