George Villiers II - Duke of Buckingham
- Ned Kynaston: [discussing Maria's first Othello show] Did you go round after?
- George Villiars, Duke of Buckingham: Oh, too crowded. Pepys went. If two mice were fucking in a nutshell, he'd find room to squeeze in and write it down.
- George Villiars, Duke of Buckingham: [When the king asks him whether he liked Othello] Yes. I never tire of Othello.
- Ned Kynaston: Truth be told, sir, he never tires of Desdemona.
- Sir Charles Sedley: So, Kynaston, will you see Mrs Hughes perform?
- Maria: Yes, I'd love to know what you think of the death scene.
- Ned Kynaston: Oh, I'm always interested in how my rivals die.
- Sir Charles Sedley: [to the Duke of Buckingham] Your Grace?
- George Villiars, Duke of Buckingham: Well, no. I've had my fill of Desdemonas.
- George Villiars, Duke of Buckingham: [later] I'm off as well. Kynaston... shall I drop you?
- Ned Kynaston: Yes, I need my sleep.
