Hugh, Earl of Manton : It's a pity they won't let us go ashore at Queenstown tomorrow. I thought we might all enjoy a taste of Ireland.
John Batley : We're not there much these days. We're based in, uh, London now. Well, Croydon, really.
Muriel Batley : Yes, only the lucky Irish live in Ireland.
-
Muriel Batley : You've let them choke the life out of your dreams, and yet one invitation to tea in first class and you could be a spaniel, begging for a pat from the master.

Muriel Batley : The so-called Anglo-Irish are Anglo first and Irish never. They've crushed the life out of us since the dawn of time, and you expect me to sit and chat with her over a plate of sandwiches?

-
Hugh, Earl of Manton : Will you shut up!
Muriel Batley : I will not shut up for a dirty philanderer like you. Oh, yes. Quite the big nobleman now. What about your grubby little secrets in Dulwich?

Hugh, Earl of Manton : Do empires matter now? They're always more toil than profit.

Hugh, Earl of Manton : Ireland's rather different.
Muriel Batley : Not to the Irish, it isn't.
-
Hugh, Earl of Manton : Batley, over here. Come and take control of your wife.
Muriel Batley : Take control? How dare you, you arrogant pig?
