Jim Carter: Charles Carson

Quotes 

• Mrs. Hughes : Who knows what the future may hold? Or how much longer we'll even be here? Suppose you want to move away and change your life entirely. You don't want to be stuck with me.

  Charles Carson : But that's the point.

  Mrs. Hughes : What is?

  Charles Carson : I do want to be stuck with you.

  Mrs. Hughes : I'm not convinced I can be hearing this right.

  Charles Carson : You are, if you think I'm asking you to marry me... Well?

  Mrs. Hughes : Well, you could knock me down with a feather.

  Charles Carson : And you're not offended?

  Mrs. Hughes : Oh, Mr Carson, I can assure you the very last thing in the world that I am at this moment is offended.

  Charles Carson : You can take as long as you like - I won't press you. Because one thing I do know - I'm not marrying anyone else.

  Mrs. Hughes : Well, then.

  [Hands him a cup of punch] 

  Charles Carson : What exactly are we celebrating?

  Mrs. Hughes : We're celebrating the fact that I can still get a proposal at my age.

  Charles Carson : And that's it?

  Mrs. Hughes : Of course I'll marry you, you old booby. I thought you'd never ask.

• Mrs. Hughes : Tea gowns? We're not in the 1890s, Mr. Mosely.

  Charles Carson : More's the pity!
