- Raffles: Tell me, Barraclough, why have you never been married? Surely there must have been some woman in your life.
- Barraclough: There was. Two of them, to be exact. Twenty-three years ago.
- Raffles: And neither of them became Mrs. Barraclough?
- Barraclough: No sir. Perhaps that was because I knew them both at the same time, sir. It didn't seem to work out.
- Barraclough: From the tenor of the conversation, with your permission sir, I should say that you've met a lady. "The" lady.
- Raffles: Barraclough, you're positively psychic.
- Barraclough: Thank you, sir. Are you contemplating marriage?
- Barraclough: Love does some strange things, sir.
- Raffles: Barraclough, you need another drink.
- Barraclough: Oh, no, no sir. I'd rather not, if you don't mind, sir. I become very talkative, and I insist on singing.
- Raffles: Heh. Well, what's the matter with that?
- Barraclough: Well, I sing very badly, sir.
- Lord Melrose: My dear, you know I don't like music.
- Lady Melrose: And I don't like Cricket. But I don't take a nap in the middle of the playing field.
- Raffles: Barraclough, did I remember to tell you she's the most wonderful girl in all the world?
- Barraclough: I had hoped, sir, that you were going to spare me that. Good night.
- Bingham: MacKenzie, I want to warn you - you'd better not take this thing too calmly. What with the newspapers and the questions in Parliament, Scotland Yard is being made a complete laughing stock.
