SIR RICHARD CARLISLE
I'm leaving the morning Lady Grantham, I doubt we'll meet again. |
|
DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Do you promise? |
|
|
DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Oh my dears. Is it really true? I can't believe it. Last night he looked so well. Of course it *would* happen to a foreigner. It's typical. |
|
LADY MARY CRAWLEY
Don't be ridiculous. |
|
|
DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
I'm not being ridiculous. No Englishman would *dream* of dying in someone else's house - especially somebody they didn't even know. |
|
|
LADY MARY CRAWLEY
Sybil is entitled to her opinions. |
|
|
DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
No. She isn't until she is married, then her husband will tell her what her opinions are. |
|
|
DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
[to Mrs. Crawly] You are quite wonderful, the way you see room for improvement wherever you look. I never knew such reforming zeal. |
|
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
I take that as a compliment. [turns and walks in the other direction] |
|
|
DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
[laughs] I must have said it wrong. |
|
|
DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Good heavens, what am I sitting on? |
|
MATTHEW CRAWLEY
A swivel... chair. |
|
|
DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Oh, another modern brainwave? |
|
|
MATTHEW CRAWLEY
Not very modern; they were invented by Thomas Jefferson. |
|
|
DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Why does every day involve a fight with an American? |
|
|
DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Your turn will come. |
|
LADY EDITH CRAWLEY
Will it? Or am I to be the maiden aunt? Isn't this what they do? Arrange presents for their prettier relations? |
|
|
DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Don't be defeatist dear, it's terribly middle class. |
