Charlotte Cavendish quotes from Lovejoy

Charlotte Cavendish

What are we doing? We're valuing posh junk!

Charlotte Cavendish

[to Lovejoy] Angela Chang would eat you for breakfast, and she wouldn't bother with chopsticks!

[to Lovejoy] I wouldn't trust you with a stuffed gerbil, let alone a baby.

Expenses, Charlotte. 10% of the insurance evaluation.

Do you ever do anything for free, Lovejoy?

What's that?

Lovejoy

You don't know either?

Now we're going to put Plan B into operation!

You remembered what it was?

Lovejoy

Yes, run!

Charlotte Cavendish

I love your optimism.

Lovejoy

I love your nose!

Lovejoy

Why don't we just make a beeline across the grass?

Because it would be worse than raping the Chancellor's wife on the altar of King's College Chapel.

Lovejoy

Who is the Chancellor?

Charlotte Cavendish

I think it's the Duke of Edinburgh.

Oh, we'll stick to the path, then. His wife's got enough problems!

The one you get when you're determined.

I thought this was supposed to be a romantic evening for two!

Charlotte Cavendish

You were thinking with the wrong part of the anatomy, Gordon.

Listen, some people... chaps, like to keep things private... like Tink. I respected him for that.

Charlotte Cavendish

Fine, OK, fine. Forget it.

Lovejoy

Are you blaming me for something, Charlotte?

Charlotte Cavendish

Sometimes, people... chaps... need to share things, but they need a signal... otherwise they bottle it up... and that can be sad. That's all I'm saying.

Lovejoy

A samurai sword.

Charlotte Cavendish

Mmmm! [Takes the photocopy and looks at it] Bet that spilt some blood in its day.

Lovejoy

Its day may not be over. It might only be Group A Rhesus positive, but it's all I got.
