Quotes
-
Tom Branson : There's no such thing as safe auto racing...
Lady Mary Crawley : ...even so...
Tom Branson : And there's no such thing as safe love. Real love gives someone the power to hurt you.
-
Robert, Earl of Gratham : Edith has a date.
Lady Edith Crawley : No I don't.
Lady Mary Crawley : [Sneering] Of course not.
Lady Edith Crawley : What do you mean, 'Of course not'?
-
Tom Branson : Are you annoyed we've given Yew Tree Farm to Mr. Mason?
Lady Mary Crawley : I'm annoyed you fixed it while I was in London. But no, he's a good man, and I hear pigs are his speciality.
Tom Branson : No wonder you were convinced.
-
Robert, Earl of Gratham : When's your train?
Lady Edith Crawley : Nine.
Lady Mary Crawley : Is this another magazine crisis?
Lady Edith Crawley : No, but I am interviewing possible editors.
Lady Mary Crawley : Women?
Lady Edith Crawley : Women.
Tom Branson : Well I approve. Good luck with that.
Lady Mary Crawley : But then who's the date with?
Lady Edith Crawley : It's not a date; it's just a friend, as I keep saying.
-
Henry Talbot : Sorry about that, there was rather a queue.
Tom Branson : It's popular, that's a good sign.
Henry Talbot : Oh, you don't know the place?
[Tom shakes head]
Lady Mary Crawley : You'll laugh at me, but I've hardly ever been in a public house. Matthew wasn't really a pub man, and Papa goes into the Grantham Arms about once a year to have a drink with the tenants.
Henry Talbot : Well I'm afraid my life is an altogether rougher affair.
Lady Mary Crawley : [Smiling widely] Consider me warned.
Tom Branson : So the car's a success?
Henry Talbot : Well, I wasn't convinced it would be, but it is. You must have a go sometime.
Tom Branson : I hope that's a real offer.
Henry Talbot : You know, I didn't realize you were so keen, Tom. Blast! You could have driven there today.
Tom Branson : You know I came to Downton as a chauffeur
Henry Talbot : Oh, Mary told me. But then, not every chauffeur has a real love for cars.
Tom Branson : That's true enough.
Henry Talbot : [Turning to Mary] I'll tell you who was talking about you the other day: Evelyn Napier.
Lady Mary Crawley : [Without emotion] Oh, how is he?
Henry Talbot : He's well. Still single, of course, and, I suspect, still pining for you.
Lady Mary Crawley : He will pine in vain, but I'm very fond of him.
Henry Talbot : La bell dame sans merci.
Tom Branson : What does that mean?
Henry Talbot : It means... Lady Mary knows what she's about. I'll tell you what, next time we're all down south, why don't we all have dinner?
Lady Mary Crawley : I'd love that.
Tom Branson : You are funny.
Lady Mary Crawley : What do you mean?
Tom Branson : The way you have to keep making excuses for why you'll meet.
[Turning to Mary]
Tom Branson : You to watch him drive cars,
[Turning to Henry]
Tom Branson : you to have dinner with a friend. Why can't you just say, "I'd love to spend more time with you"? When can we do it?
Lady Mary Crawley : You see? He may have assimilated in some ways, but he still fights playing by the rules.
-
Lady Mary Crawley : [watching racing cars] How fast!
Henry Talbot : That *is* the general idea.
