Matthew Crawley quotes from Downton Abbey

How was the honeymoon?

Matthew Crawley

[grins] My eyes have been opened.

[smiles] Don't I know it.

Lady Edith tells me you're very interested in politics.

[smirks] Tom is our tame revolutionary.

Every family should have one.

Matthew Crawley

As long as you are tame. [glances at Branson knowingly]

Tom Branson

Tame enough for a game of billiards.

Lady Mary Crawley

Sybil! She can't hear me. Sybil! Sybil, it's Mary! Can you hear me!?

It looks as if...

It look as if what!?

This is eclampsia.

It cannot be. Sir Philip, you were so sure!

Matthew Crawley

This is unbelievable. Somebody do something!

The human life is unpredictable!

But you were so sure!

Matthew Crawley

How's the baby doing?

Tom Branson

I envy her. She doesn't know a thing about it.

Lady Edith Crawley

Now that the funeral's over, we ought to think about the christening. Do know what you'd like her to be called?

Tom Branson

I'd like to call her Sybil.

Matthew Crawley

Of course.

You don't think it might be a little painful?

Tom Branson

Very painful at first, but I think it's right. I want to remember her mother whenever I look at her.

Lady Edith Crawley

Of course you do. And she would want to be remembered. I'll go and see Mr. Travis this afternoon.

Tom Branson

Why Mr. Travis?

Lady Edith Crawley

To fix the date.

Tom Branson

But Sybil will be Catholic.

What?!

Tom Branson

My daughter is Irish and she'll be Catholic like her father.

Lady Mary Crawley

Say hello to your son and heir.

Matthew Crawley

Hello my dearest little chap. I wonder if he knows how much joy he brings with him? My darling, how are you? Truly?

Lady Mary Crawley

Tired and pretty relieved. But just think: We've done our duty. Downton is safe. Papa must be dancing a jig.

Matthew Crawley

I'm dancing a jig. I feel like I've swallowed a box of fireworks.

Lady Mary Crawley

Where are the others?

Matthew Crawley

Back at the house. Panting to see you, to see you both. But I've sent Mother to keep them at bay. I wanted the chance to be alone with my family.

Lady Mary Crawley

You sound rather foreign. Shouldn't you been saying things like "You'll be up and about in no time"?

Lady Mary Crawley

I'll remind that next time I scratch the car.

Matthew Crawley

Do. I give you full permission.
