JJ Feild credited as playing...
Mr. Henry Nobley
- Jane Hayes: Sorry. Sorry, I didn't know I became a ninja when startled in a strange place. My father, if he were alive, would die of shame.
- Mr. Henry Nobley: And here was I thinking that any father would be delighted to have a ninja as a daughter.
- Martin: He's still acting. It's just all part of his act. See the costume? He's an actor.
- Mr. Henry Nobley: You're just jealous, aren't you? Because my aunt would rather bring in a complete novice than move some Kiwi actor up to the big house.
- Jane Hayes: You're not British either?
- Martin: It's part of the Commonwealth.
- Mr. Henry Nobley: Couldn't you get a job on "The Hobbit"?
- Martin: That's it, Shakespeare!
- Colonel Andrews: [after Jane fights off Wattlesbrook's unwanted advances] Why, Mr. Wattlesbrook, not again.
- Mr. Wattlesbrook: Little slag attacked me!
- Mr. Henry Nobley: Well, obviously. She is a ninja.
- Mr. Henry Nobley: The night of the ball, you said you wanted something real. I'd like to believe that I am real. Is it possible that... someone like me can make you happy? Will you let me try?
- [pause]
- Jane Hayes: No, see, people don't do this. I mean, this is my fantasy... this isn't...
- Mr. Henry Nobley: Have you stopped to consider that you might have this all backward? Jane... you are my fantasy.
- [romantic kiss]
- Jane Hayes: Tally-ho?
- Mr. Henry Nobley: Tally-ho.
- Jane Hayes: Do you really believe, Mr. Nobley, that you can know the worth of a person at a glance?
- Mr. Henry Nobley: Can you tell me that within the first few moments of meeting each person in this room, you didn't form firm opinions of their character?
- Jane Hayes: Well, it would be a shame if my first impression of you proved correct.
- Mr. Henry Nobley: Why are we running?
- Jane Hayes: Because man and woman should never be alone unless they are in motion.
- Mr. Henry Nobley: [flipping through Jane's sketchbook] It is curious, however, that there are more of me than anyone else.
- Jane Hayes: I guess I've been trying to figure you out without much luck.
- Mr. Henry Nobley: Surely you've come to some conclusions.
- Jane Hayes: You're the resident Mr. Darcy. Come on, you're every girl's fantasy.
- Mr. Henry Nobley: So I'm your fantasy?
- Jane Hayes: You play your character very well.
- Mr. Henry Nobley: [crestfallen] Right.
- Lady Amelia Heartwright: Something on your mind?
- Mr. Henry Nobley: Absolutely nothing's on my mind, thank you.
- Captain East: Imagine. One lone British frigate surrounded by four French war craft, cap'n dead on the deck. 'Surrender!' came the cry.
- Mr. Henry Nobley: Anyone buying this?
- Captain East: 'Never,' said I.
- Miss Elizabeth Charming: [anxiously] Did you die?
- Mr. Henry Nobley: Society demands that we engage in a social intercourse in order to seem courteous. Yet, in most cases, such actions are ultimately - vulgar.
- Mr. Henry Nobley: I don't know if you realize that it's not proper in this particular time, or any time, for a lady to be alone after dark - let alone cavorting with the servants.
- Jane Hayes: Cavort?
- Mr. Henry Nobley: When doing so might lead to...
- Jane Hayes: Did you just say "cavort"?
- Mr. Henry Nobley: There's just something about that guy I really don't...
- Jane Hayes: Aren't you all righteous concern, Mr. Nobley?
- [sarcastically]
- Jane Hayes: Thank goodness you've saved me from sullying myself with the help.
- Lady Amelia Heartwright: [during the "theatrical"] Can I pray thee, stranger, make me thy wife.
- [accidentally falls towards Mr. Nobley, as he breaks her fall clutching her breasts]
- Mr. Henry Nobley: I seek no marriage but the cleavage - cleaving of my sword on mine enemy's flesh.
- Jane Hayes: Well, the house is amazing, but it's kind of like a corset. I like the way it looks, but it's just...
- Mr. Henry Nobley: Hard to relax in it.
- Jane Hayes: Yes, exactly.
- Jane Hayes: You were right, this is a dangerous kind of game. I don't wanna play anymore.
- Mr. Henry Nobley: What do you want?
- Jane Hayes: I want something real.
