-
Jolyon : [at Robin Hill] Would you like to see the house?
Soames Forsyte : I've seen it.
-
Jolyon : I have been asked to let you go.
Helene Hilmer : I'm not surprised. I was not born for this kind of life. I know I can be resentful sometimes, but I never expected to find myself in this situation.
Jolyon : The quality of your work is not in question.
Helene Hilmer : Oh, I see. I hope Mrs. Forsyte will provide me with a character.
Jolyon : You don't understand. There has been an implication that my conduct towards you has been improper. I have denied any impropriety, which, as you know, has been the case.
[long pause]
Jolyon : In my mind I am guilty of the grossest misconduct.

Soames Forsyte : I should have brought a horse whip!
Irene Forsyte née Heron : What do you want?

Jolyon : No.
Soames Forsyte : Your name will be dirt.
Jolyon : So be it.
Soames Forsyte : What about you? Will you swear it?
Irene Forsyte née Heron : No.
Soames Forsyte : I have enought evidence, you know. You have been watched, everywhere. You've been watched. And it won't just be desertion. You know what I am saying.
Irene Forsyte née Heron : Yes.
Soames Forsyte : And it doesn't worry you?
Irene Forsyte née Heron : Please, go.
Soames Forsyte : Adulteress! That term fits, does it not?
Irene Forsyte née Heron : Yes.
Soames Forsyte : You have...?
Irene Forsyte née Heron : Yes.
Soames Forsyte : You're a devil. And you, an imbeseler of trust property, a thief stealing his cousin's wife!
Jolyon : Go!
Soames Forsyte : You'll pay for it.
Jolyon : I shall be very happy.
Soames Forsyte : I hope you treat him as you treated me.
