Richard D'Oyly Carte
- Sullivan: [proposing a toast] To the Savoy Hotel.
- Richard D'Oyly Carte: The Savoy Hotel.
- Sullivan: With its seventy bathrooms.
- Richard D'Oyly Carte: The builder was much bemused. "What's the point of having a bathroom to every bedroom? Who's going to be staying there, amphibians?"
- Richard D'Oyly Carte: Well, I don't know about you, but speaking for myself, I could murder a pork chop.
- Sullivan: What's this?
- Richard D'Oyly Carte: Pull it.
- [Sullivan does]
- Richard D'Oyly Carte: It's a reservoir pen. Contains its own ink.
- Sullivan: Good gracious me. Whatever will they think of next?
- Richard D'Oyly Carte: With reference to your engagement for the opera, I have a great concern about your little weakness.
- Leonora Braham, Lead Soprano: Hmm... I'm a little shocked, Mr. Carte. I really do believe that my behavior this last year has been exemplary.
- Richard D'Oyly Carte: I'm pleased to say your tendency has improved, but I am concerned about the future.
- Sullivan: This work with Gilbert is quite simply killing me.
- Richard D'Oyly Carte: Working with Gilbert would kill anybody.
- Richard D'Oyly Carte: Who told you that?
- Richard Barker: Hollingshead. I played a game of cricket with him this morning before breakfast at Coram's Fields.
- Helen Lenoir: In this heat?
- Richard Barker: Yes, madam, but not in this attire.
- Helen Lenoir: Oh, good.
- Richard Barker: [during a heat wave] Seven dead horses in the Strand this morning. Well, one down by Trafalgar Square.
- Richard D'Oyly Carte: I don't know how you can sit there in your hat and coat, Barker.
- Richard Barker: I'm too hot to remove them, Mr. Carte.
- Richard Barker: [during a heat wave] I'm going out to seek a little Italian hokey-pokey, and I care not who knows it.
- Richard D'Oyly Carte: Thank you, Barker.
- Richard Barker: I shall not return with any for you sir... because it would melt. Au revoir.
