- Lady Trench: I suggest we all look horrified.
- Lord Trench: That won't be difficult with you in the room!
- Lord Trench: I would like to make a statement. I've had an exceedingly dull dinner.
- Lady Trench: Have you ever thought of anything in your life but your stomach?
- Lord Trench: No. Why should I? Its given me more pleasure than anything else.
- Sir Reginald Whelby: How you live with the old bean defeats me, Mary.
- Lord Trench: She lives with me because she loves me. Don't you Duckie?
- Lady Trench: I live with you because I left it too late to do anything else. And don't call me Duckie!
- Lord Trench: I suggest my wife keeps her mouth shut.
- Lady Trench: I shall open it as often as I choose.
- Lady Minster: Why doesn't she come in John?
- John Crayle: Well, she says she's got on too much lipstick and she's taking some of it off.
- Sir Reginald Whelby: I'm afraid you don't like me, Miss Hilary.
- Elsie Hilary: Well, if I thought about you at all, Sir Reginald, I imagine I should hate you.
- Elsie Hilary: You and I would never have been able to kiss each other without her standing between us.
