Sir Humphrey Tavistock: And I never saw her again from that day to this.
Anthony: Now that's the kind of woman I really admire.
Ambrosine Viney: [on entering the room] I do hope you're taking about me.
Sir Humphrey Tavistock: Oh, Ambrosine, so you're back. You, er, know this young man?
Ambrosine Viney: I've heard a great deal about him in the last five days. How do you do, Lady Tavistock?
Ambrosine Viney: How do you do?
Anthony: [to Sir Humphrey] Did you say "Ambrosine"?
Sir Humphrey Tavistock: That's right. Oh, erm, I eventually caught up with her and finally she allowed me to marry her.
[to Ambrosine]
Sir Humphrey Tavistock: Did Diana come back with you?
Ambrosine Viney: Yes.
Sir Humphrey Tavistock: Where is she?
Ambrosine Viney: Packing.
Anthony: Packing?
Ambrosine Viney: She saw your car outside, and do you know what she said?
Anthony: What?
Ambrosine Viney: It's Anthony, bless him. He's come to apologise and to ask me to go back to him.
Anthony: I never came to do any such thing. I came to have it out with her.
Ambrosine Viney: You do want her back, don't you?
Anthony: Well, yes. On my terms.
Ambrosine Viney: Which are?
Anthony: Well, I want to be able to come home at night and find my slippers in front of the fire, dinner on the table and Diana waiting to welcome me. I want a wife who's a wife. The truth about women today is that they don't want to be women at at all, they want to be men.
Ambrosine Viney: Ah, no, no, no, you're quite wrong. They want to be women alright. The fact is they have a different definition of what the word means. To a woman it means a person, an equal partner in the business of life; free to do what is right and best for herself.
Sir Humphrey Tavistock: I'll tell you the truth about women: it's hell living with them but it's a damn sight worse having to live without them.
