“Unfinished Business” quotes from Criminal Minds

What do you mean "you knew"?!

Lady Mary Crawley

I hoped it would blow over! I didn't want to break up the family when Sybil might still wake up!

And all this time you been driving me about, bowing and scrapping, and seducing my daughter behind my back?!

Tom Branson

I don't bow and scrape! And I've not seduced anyone! Give your daughter some credit for knowing her own mind!

How dare you speak like that to me! You will leave at once!

Lady Sybil Crawley

Oh, Papa.

This is a folly! A ridiculous, juvenile madness!

Sybil, what do you have in mind?

Mama, this is hardly--

No. She must have something in mind. Otherwise she would not have summoned him here tonight.

Lady Sybil Crawley

Matthew! Mary!

Lady Mary Crawley

Is it Mama?!

That's what's so--it's Lavinia!

I look at her and all I can see is a tired woman with a tiresome husband, not a bride on the brink of heaven. I wish I could understand why she goes on with it. Do you think there's some element I might have overlooked?

Yes.

Cora, if there is something and you know what it is, tell me, please.

Perhaps it's time.

I was hoping you would say I was wrong.

You're not wrong. But if I do tell you, try not to fly off the handle. And try not to be too hurt.

Now you must tell me because nothing could be worse than my imaginings.

Very well. Do you recall a Turkish diplomat who stayed here before the war?

I think I can be relied on to remember any guest who was found dead in his bed the next morning.

Well, that's the thing.

Matthew Crawley

I wanted to find out what you meant when you said you "had" to marry Carlisle, and that I would despise you if I knew the reason.

Lady Mary Crawley

Yes, you would.

Matthew Crawley

Whatever it is, it cannot be enough for you to marry him.

Lady Mary Crawley

That's what Papa said.

Matthew Crawley

So you told him?

Lady Mary Crawley

Yes.

Matthew Crawley

Does he despise you?

Lady Mary Crawley

He's...very disappointed in me.

Matthew Crawley

Even so, please tell me.

Matthew Crawley

You were wrong about one thing.

Lady Mary Crawley

Only one? And what is that, pray?

Matthew Crawley

I never would--I never could despise you.

I was only going to say that if I do need a new valet, I think I'd like to give Thomas a trial....There's more true goodness in him than I give him credit for.

Is there?!

Sir Richard Carlisle

My God, Mary. What more could I have done?

Lady Mary Crawley

Nothing. But you must see we're not well-suited. We'd never be happy.

Sir Richard Carlisle

You won't be happy by the time I've finished, I promise you that.

Lady Mary Crawley

Of course I'm grateful--

Sir Richard Carlisle

So you should be! I buy your fifthly scandal. I keep it safe from prying eyes. Ad why did the papers leave you alone over Bates? Why has there been nothing linking to the great Earl of Grantham?

Lady Mary Crawley

I suppose you stopped it.

Sir Richard Carlisle

With threats, bribes, calling in favors--yes, I stopped it!

Lady Mary Crawley

Papa will be so thankful.

Matthew Crawley

I heard shouting.

Sir Richard Carlisle

Lavinia knew it, you know. She knew you never loved her.

Matthew Crawley

Don't you dare.

Sir Richard Carlisle

Oh, she did. It was late, she was tired, you two were locked in the corner of the room...she said, "If he could just admit the truth, then all four of us might have a chance."

Matthew Crawley

You liar.

Sir Richard Carlisle

I'm not a liar. No, I am many things but not that. She regretted it, of course, but she said it.

Matthew Crawley

You bastard.

What on earth's the matter?

Sir Richard Carlisle

I'm leaving in the morning, Lady Grantham. I doubt we'll meet again.

Do you promise?

Matthew Crawley

Sorry about the vase.

Oh, don't be. It was wedding present from a frightful aunt. I have hated it for half a century.

Matthew Crawley

You've lived your life and I've lived mine. And now it's time we lived them together.

Lady Mary Crawley

We've been on the edge of this so many times, Matthew. Please don't take me there again unless you're sure.

Matthew Crawley

I am sure.

Lady Mary Crawley

And your vows to the memory of Lavinia?

Matthew Crawley

I was wrong. I don't think she wants us to be sad. She was someone who never caused a moment's sorrow in her whole life.

Lady Mary Crawley

I agree.

Matthew Crawley

Then will you?

Lady Mary Crawley

You must say it properly. I won't answer unless you kneel down and everything!

Matthew Crawley

Lady Mary Crawley, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?

Lady Mary Crawley

Yes!

Are you coming up to welcome the Queen of Sheba?

Isobel Crawley

I suppose so.

Come war and peace, Downton still stands and the Crawleys are still in it. Cora.

Mother, how lovely to see you.

As long as it is. Robert, aren't you going to kiss me?

With the greatest enthusiasm.

[greeting her granddaughters] Sybil, tell me all about the arrangements for the birth. We do these things so much better in the States. Edith. Still no one special? Well, well, never mind. You must take a tip from the modern American girl. Ah, Mary. Dearest Mary. Now, you tell me all of your wedding plans, and I'll see what I can do to improve them.

Lady Mary Crawley

It's not about the money. It's that he won't save Papa when he could.

Anna

But he has to be true to himself.

Lady Mary Crawley

That's the point. He puts himself above the rest of us. Don't you see?

Anna

What I see is a good man, my lady. And they're not like buses. There won't be another one along in ten minutes' time.
