- Jane Frensham: Do you know why I like you?
- Nicholas 'Nick' Revel: No, Why?
- Jane Frensham: Because you're so straight. I think you're the straightest man I've ever met.
- Sir Christopher Marche: Darling, I'm so sorry. But tomorrow night's my regimental dinner. I am so sorry.
- Jane Frensham: Oh, well, you better save your regrets for the morning after. At the dinner last year, if you recall, you went swimming in the Thames in your evening clothes.
- Sir Christopher Marche: Ha, ha, ha. Oh, but I wasn't engaged then. This year I'll be a model of sobriety. I promise.
- Jane Frensham: Well, we'll see.
- Nicholas 'Nick' Revel: Must there always be a motive for everything one does?
- Jane Frensham: You impress me definitely as a man who doesn't act without one.
