Sir Richard Carlisle quotes from Downton Abbey

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?
