My darling, I refuse to quarrel about something that hasn't happened and probably never will.
Then she's right. My darling, I'm sure we will fight about money and about Downton, about how to rear our children, about any number of things.
Then shouldn't we accept it? Matthew, I've been thinking...and I'm not angry now, truly I'm not. But if we can disagree over something as fundamental as this, then shouldn't we be brave and back away now?
It's not because you're afraid of calling it off? Because I'm not.
No. It's because of something Tom said: That I would never be happy with anyone else as long as you walked the earth, which is true.
[Matthew is driving his new AC Six with Mary riding shotgun en route to Downton.]
Who will groan first when they see it, Granny or Papa?
[chuckles] I should think they'll howl at the moon in unison!
[Robert and Cora rush out to greet them.]
RC Robert Crawley, Lord Grantham
What in God's name is this? Well I never! [marvels at the AC]
CC Cora Crawley, Lady Grantham
Where did this come from?
I ordered it in London, picked it up on the way back. It's an AC.
RC Robert Crawley, Lord Grantham
Well, at least it's English.
RC Robert Crawley, Lord Grantham
How was the honeymoon?
[grins] My eyes have been opened.
RC Robert Crawley, Lord Grantham
[smiles] Don't I know it.
[The Dowager Countess is eyeing Martha Levinson as the latter speaks to Mary.]
VC Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
[grumbles to Robert] Just how long is she here for?
RC Robert Crawley, Lord Grantham
[sighs] Who knows?
VC Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
No guest should be admitted with no departure date settled.
[Mary and the Dowager Countess are discussing Robert's financial difficulties.]
VC Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
I cannot understand why so much money was put into one company.
VC Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
Now we're to be turned out of Downton. Even Lloyd George can't want that.
I'm not sure he's a good example.
People like us should lead the fight to keep tradition going.
If you mean we can never change, I can't agree.
CC Cora Crawley, Lady Grantham
Nor me. Accepting change is as important as defending the past.
The role of houses like Downton is to protect tradition. That's why they're so important to maintain.
[The servants are preparing for Edith's wedding.]
VC Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
At my age one must ration one's excitement. [notices Cora fussing about] I told her everything would come right but she wouldn't believe me.
I still can't. Something happening in this house is actually about me.
[The men are having a drink in the dinning room.]
AS Sir Anthony Strallan
Lady Edith tells me you're very interested in politics.
RC Robert Crawley, Lord Grantham
[smirks] Tom is our tame revolutionary.
AS Sir Anthony Strallan
Every family should have one.
As long as you are tame. [glances at Branson knowingly]
Tame enough for a game of billiards.
AS Sir Anthony Strallan
I wish you'd let me sit in the front.
I prefer it, I've ridden in the front seat many times.
VC Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
Aren't you a wild thing!
AS Sir Anthony Strallan
There's never been a safer method of travel.
VC Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
Nor a faster one.
AS Sir Anthony Strallan
Edith's the speed fiend, she likes to go at a terrific lick.
VC Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
Do you think you'll be able to keep up with her?
AS Sir Anthony Strallan
I'll try.
RC Robert Crawley, Lord Grantham
[looks at Eryholme] We won't need more than eight servants, tops. So it'll be very economical.
VC Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
What about me? Where am I to go?
RC Robert Crawley, Lord Grantham
We still own most of the village.
VC Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
Oh. Perhaps I could open a shop?
VC Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
I really think you should go to bed. No bride wants to look tired on her wedding. That means she's anxious or been up to no good.
VC Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
Sybil, vulgarity is no substitute for wit.
[smirks at her grandmother] You started it. [she and Edith giggle]
RC Robert Crawley, Lord Grantham
What a harsh world you live in.
We all live in a harsh world, but at least I know I do.
They didn't try to stop me, but it doesn't mean they won't come after us. Unless Papa can persuade them otherwise.
CC Cora Crawley, Lady Grantham
Tom, how could you have left her all alone to fend for herself?
It wasn't like that. We thought this might happen and we decided what to do. The question is: What now?
CC Cora Crawley, Lady Grantham
You mustn't travel anymore. Not before the baby's born.
But Tom wants it to be born in Dublin.
You never told me you went to those meetings.
I never told you I didn't.
And what else haven't you told me?
All I know is that I can't stay here. Not for long.
You must. And so must I. And you must let the baby be born here.
You're very free with your musts.
But I will not be free with our child's chances! We need peace and safety. Downton can offer us both.
You can come up. It's a girl.
VC Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess
Thank God and Hallelujah.
