“Unfinished Business” quotes from Criminal Minds

Tell your friend Mr. Bricker to stop flirting with Isis! There is nothing more ill-bred than trying to steal someone else's dog!

Daisy

Why is it called a wireless when there are so many wires?

If I touch it, will I get a shock?

You'll only get a shock if you listen to it.

Lady Mary Crawley

How did you manage to get the rooms connected?

Well, I'm not a complete half-wit. Nor, happily, is the manager.

Lady Mary Crawley

Darling Granny, you know how much I value your advice--

Which means you intend to ignore it.

Like all Englishmen of his type, he hid his qualities beneath a thick blanket of convention.

Lady Mary Crawley

We don't know each other exactly--

But we certainly know of each other.

As for his so-called cowardice, that were like a wound in battle--a wound to his brain--so he didn't know what he was doing! He were a good and decent lad.

Of course he was.

Doesn't that make him a casualty of war, m'lord? Same as our William or any of them?

I was never the type to die of a broken heart. I'm sorry if that offends you.

Lady Mary Crawley

On the contrary. I only hope Tony feels the same.

Goodness. I wasn't expecting that. [pause] I wish I could work you out.

Lady Mary Crawley

I wish I could work me out.

I would never suggest anything that is not in your interest.

Lady Edith Crawley

In my interest, or the family's?

To me, they are the same.

Lady Edith Crawley

That is where we differ.

What do you mean a man's opened a colony in Essex?

Not that sort of colony, Mama. It's for people who want to take all their clothes off.

In Essex? Isn't it terribly damp?

Lady Rosamund Painswick

Would that make a difference?

Well yes, if you had no clothes on.

Tom Branson

My vision of this country and where it should be headed is different from yours....I believe in reform, and the moral direction of the left.

I would only say this, Tom: In your time here, you've learned both sides of the argument, befriended people you'd once have seen as enemies.

Tom Branson

That's true.

You should be proud. Five years ago would you have believed you could be friendly with my mother?

Tom Branson

Not sure I would've believed it five minutes ago.

Don't make nothing of what you've achieved, that's all.

Atticus Aldridge

You must have a very sweet tooth.

Lady Rose McClare

Oh, no they're not for me! I give tea to some Russian refugees every Tuesday and Thursday. They love cake.

Atticus Aldridge

I love cake.

Who was that on the telephone?

Simon Bricker.

Oh God. What does he want?

I shall answer without commenting on your tone. He wants to have the painting photographed for his book.

Mrs. Hughes

But why did you ask him?

Because he's a man, I suppose.

Mrs. Hughes

I'm not sure that's a good enough reason.

Nor am I, now. But I don't want to hurt his feelings.

Mrs. Hughes

I wish men worried about our feelings a quarter as much as we worry about theirs.

Lady Rosamund Painswick

I'm afraid you've read somewhere that rudeness in old age is amusing, which is quite wrong, you know.

We both know you are not leaving my house until I learn the truth. So shall I have a bed made up for you here, or are you doing to tell me now?
