Simon Callow credited as playing...
The Reverend Mr Beebe
- Freddy Honeychurch: Come and have a bathe.
- George Emerson: I'd like that.
- Reverend Beebe: [laughs] That's the best conversation opening I've ever heard. "How do you do. Come and have a bathe."
- Lucy Honeychurch: Mother doesn't like me playing Beethoven. She says I'm always peevish afterwards.
- Reverend Beebe: Naturally one would be... stirred up.
- Reverend Beebe: It's not coincidental that you're here now, when one comes to reflect on it.
- George Emerson: I *have* reflected. It's fate. Everything is fate.
- Reverend Beebe: You've not reflected at all. Let me cross-examine you. Where did you meet Mr. Vyse, who will marry Miss Honeychurch?
- George Emerson: The National Gallery.
- Reverend Beebe: Looking at Italian art! You see, you talk of coincidence and fate. You're naturally drawn to things Italian, as are we and all our friends, aren't we, Freddy? That narrows the field immeasurably.
- George Emerson: It is fate. But call it Italy if it pleases you, Vicar.
