Rumpole and the Married Lady (1978)

Patricia Hodge: Phyllida Trant

Quotes 

• Phyllida Trant : We don't *have* to prove cruelty, do we, Mr Rumpole? It's "intolerable conduct" since the Divorce Law Reform Act, 1969.

  Horace Rumpole : [to himself]  It's not the frivolity that makes women intolerable. It's the ghastly *enthusiasm* - that mustard keenness to get into the lacrosse team, that relentless drive to learn the Divorce Law Reform Act by heart. That, and the French perfume.
