- Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: I wish Tom had arrived.
- Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: [Surprised] It's so nice to hear you say that.
- Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: No, I mean he's bringing Isis, and I do miss her.
- Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: I hate to lie.
- Lady Mary Crawley: I'll do it. I don't mind lying.
- Lady Mary Crawley: When does the American contingent arrive, and how on earth are we going to manage them?
- Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: Don't be ashamed of my mother, Mary; she's your grandmother, too.
- Lady Rose MacClare: I think it's very kind of them to come over for my ball.
- Lady Mary Crawley: You haven't met her yet. And where will everyone sleep? This place isn't designed for house parties.
- Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: We'll manage. Perhaps you could share with Edith?
- Lady Mary Crawley: You're joking.
- Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: Well, someone may have to sleep on the top floor... with the servants.
- Lady Mary Crawley: [With disgust] I'd rather sleep on the roof than share with Edith.
- Lady Mary Crawley: [Referring to an unwelcome guest] We can't make a scene.
- Lady Edith Crawley: I sometimes feel we should make more scenes about things that really matter to us.
- Anthony Gillingham: It wouldn't be very English.
- Lady Edith Crawley: No, but I envy it... all those Latins screaming, and shouting, and hurling themselves into graves. I bet they feel much better afterwards.
- Lady Mary Crawley: I wonder. I think once you've let it out, it must be hard to get it back in.
- Sarah Bunting: Have you found it very hard?
- Tom Branson: Losing Sybil was hard. Compared to that everything else is easy.
- Mrs. Hughes: Come on - I dare you.
- Charles Carson: But if get my trousers wet...
- Mrs. Hughes: If you get them wet, we'll dry them.
- Charles Carson: Suppose I fall over?
- Mrs. Hughes: Suppose a bomb goes off, suppose we're hit by a falling star? You can hold my hand, then we'll both go in together.
- Charles Carson: I think I will hold your hand. It'll make me feel a bit steadier.
- Mrs. Hughes: You can always hold my hand if you need to feel steady.
- Charles Carson: I don't know how, but you managed to make that sound a little risqué.
- Mrs. Hughes: And if I did? We're getting on, Mr Carson, you and I. We can afford to live a little.
- Martha Levinson: [as the two women are walking to their bedrooms] Oh, oh, off to bed are we? Well that's very sensible. A woman your age needs her rest.
- Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: You need a rest cure if you were taken in by that booby Aysgarth.
- Martha Levinson: Violet, forgive me, and I don't mean to sound offensive, but are you always this stuck up?
- Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Oh, do tell me, do tell me, is the new Lady Aysgarth all set to hold London enthralled with Tales of How the West was won?
- Martha Levinson: Actually I turned him down.
- Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Oh. You surprise me.
- Martha Levinson: I'm sure. You see I have no wish to be a great lady.
- Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: No. A decision that must be reinforced whenever you look in the glass.
- Lady Rose MacClare: [looking for the incriminating letter in Samson's rooms] They say that men always hide things in their sock drawer.
- Lady Mary Crawley: Why is that do you think?
- Lady Rose MacClare: What could be more revolting than to rummage through a stange man's socks?
- Mrs. Hughes: I've just met Mrs. Levinson on the steps. She's here without a maid.
- Anna Bates: What happened to the last one?
- Ethan Slade: She had her head bitten off one time too many.
- Ethan Slade: [Getting a bit annoyed that Carson keeps referring to him as "Mr. Levinson"] Mr. Carson: My employer is called Levinson. Not me.
- Charles Carson: In this house, you both are.
- Thomas Barrow: [about the trip to London] Are you looking forward to it?
- Daisy Mason: Why should I be? What difference does it make to peel onions in London or peel them in Yorkshire?
