- Lord Clancharlie: I came back to find my little son. What have you done with him?

- Ursus: Stop laughing! Stop laughing I say!
- Gwynplaine as a child: I'm not laughing!
- Ursus: [looks at Gwynplaine's grin] Comprachicos!
- Ursus: Who disturbs the rest of Ursus the philosopher?
- Gwynplaine as a child: My name is Gwynplaine and I am cold and hungry.
- Ursus: [while getting Gwynplaine some food, Gwynplaine takes the baby out of his coat and puts her on the table, turning around] What, are there TWO of you?
- Narrator: [via title card] In the sightless eyes of Dea, the image of Gwynplaine stood always in a shaft of light.
- Lord Dirry-Moir: [to Duchess Josiana] You allow ruffians at Southwark Fair greater liberties than your betrothed, my dear.
