- Mr. Hopkins: There's nothing to talk over.
- Millicent Hopkins: But Father, can't you understand, Middleford's so drab and narrow and limited, I wanted to break away from all that but I've done nothing bad.
- Mr. Hopkins: Nothing bad? Nothing bad about painting your face and showing your legs to a bunch of toffed up men? Where's that leading you to? No decent man would have you now.
- Rose Bridges: Well, now really Mr Hopkins...
- Mr. Hopkins: I'll thank you to keep your nose out of this you female vagabond
- Rose Bridges: Female vagabond, am I? Well, you're a nice one to talk, you nasty-minded old skinflint.
- Mr. Hopkins: Get out of here! I won't be talked to that way, I won't. Get out! Both of you. Get back to your play-acting and your lady-killing friends.
- Millicent Hopkins: Alright, Father. There's no call for shouting. I wouldn't stay here now if you got down on your knees and begged me. Come on, Rose.
- Rose Bridges: Certainly, Millicent. We should never have come to such a cheap shop!
- Lord Belmont: You know, we're called a nation of shopkeepers and I often think there's nothing more British than woolen underwear.
- Lord Montglyn: Oh, I say, Henry!
- Lord Belmont: Oh, hello, Monty. Nice of you to come.
- Lord Montglyn: It is indeed. You know I don't care very much for respectable society. I prefer the disreputable type of people. I'm more impressive then.
- Lord Belmont: I hope this won't be too much of a hardship for you.
- Lord Montglyn: Oh, I'd have been indisposed but I couldn't resist the temptation of inspecting Clive's bride.
- Lord Belmont: She's well worth the trouble.
- Lord Montglyn: Oh, a beauty eh? Well there's no reason why a man should marry an attractive woman. They seldom do. I can't think of many wives I'd care to have supper with.
- Lord Belmont: I've heard the wives say the same about you, Monty. You've a very bad reputation.
- Lord Montglyn: Have I really, Henry? You're not saying it just to flatter me?
- Lord Belmont: No, it's true my dear fellow.
- Lord Montglyn: It is? Well that's very nice of you, Henry. Thank you. I'm very glad I came.
