• Mr. Brownlow : The law assumes that your wife acts under your direction.

  Mr. Bumble : If the law supposes that, then the law is a ass, a idiot! If that's the eye of the law, then the law is a bachelor. And the worst I wish the law is that his eye may be opened by experience.

• Mr. Brownlow : It only remains for me to tell you that neither of you will ever be employed in a position of trust again.

• Mr. Brownlow : He'll be back in 20 minutes.

  Mr. Grimwig : Are you sure he will return ? That boy has a new set of clothes, a pack of valuable books, and a £5 note in his pocket. If he returns back to this house I will eat my hat.

• Mr. Brownlow : Somehow I feel you and I are going to be good friends.

• Mr. Brownlow : How would you like to grow up a clever man and write books?

  Oliver Twist : I think I'd rather be a bookseller sir.

• Oliver Twist : Twist. Oliver Twist.

  Mr. Brownlow : Hmm, that's a queer name.

• Mr. Brownlow : Have you given him any nourishment, Bedwin?

  Mrs. Bedwin : He's going to have a basin of beautiful, strong broth, sir.

  Mr. Brownlow : Mm-hmm. A couple of glasses of port wine would do him far more good.
