Captain Sir John Lindsay: I beg you, uncle, love her as I would were I here, and ensure that she is in receipt of all that is due her as a child of mine.
Lady Mansfield: That is simply impossible.
Captain Sir John Lindsay: What is right can never be impossible.
Lady Mansfield: She is black.
Captain Sir John Lindsay: She is my blood.
Cara: That woman nearly suffocated him... Well, just look at her children. Even when they were tiny, in the nursery, they must do what she wants them to do, be what she wants them to be. Only then would she love them. It's not Lady Marchmain's fault. Her God has done that to her.
Charles Ryder: But surely you're Catholic too.
Cara: Oh, yes, but a different sort. Well, it's different in Italy. Not so much guilt. We do what the heart tell us, and then we go to confession.
Lady Marchmain: I act only as God directs.
Charles Ryder: Rubbish. God's your best invention. Whatever you want, he does.
Charles Ryder: I'm sorry.
Sebastian Flyte: Whatever for?
Charles Ryder: Everything.
Ben Calder: Anna? Anna.
Anna Foster: Ben! Come on! Venice awaits! Where have you been?
Ben Calder: Just having a mild heart attack.
Anna Foster: Ben. Can you ever just say what you really feel?
Ben Calder: Okay, all right! Because I'm jealous as hell. Because I'd hate to see you with Gus Gus. I'd hate to see you with any other man. Because not only did I adore kissing you in Venice, but also because I'm so un-bloody-hinged just being near you.
Ben Calder: If I kiss you, do you think they'll shoot me?
Anna Foster: No, but I will if you don't.
Anna Foster: I'm on fire! I'm untouchable! I'm Anna! Who are you?
Ben Calder: Ben Calder, freelance getaway man. Yeah, need the hand, need the hand.
Ben Calder: Romance is simply not a feasible option for me right now.
Anna: You fried my blackberry!
Declan: You fried the whole village!
Declan: Which one of you bollocks thinks my chicken is dry? You? You?
Declan: What the hell are you doing here?
Anna: Could you maybe be nice for just a second, I flew 3,000 miles to get here.
Albright: Death, has some, side effects.
Albright: There is no science, no progress, without sacrifice.
Albright: You never asked the right questions.
Albright: Stop taking the medication, and... Your mind fades into oblivion. Madeline can have her husband back. But... keep going, push on and each dose that you take erases a little more of Mark. His army training, his instincts, after a year or so, they'll be gone forever.
Charles Stoker: Of course I still love you, Richard. I just have to love you a little bit less now.
Charles Stoker: She always used to say: "There's nothing a man could master that a woman couldn't make."
India Stoker: What do you mean?
Evelyn Stoker: That sounds better in French.
India Stoker: What do you want from me?
Charles Stoker: To be friends.
India Stoker: We don't need to be friends. We're family.
