- Elsa Craddock: [In the Dean's office, confessing] Oh Marmaduke, how can you? We were foolish, but it was only a flirtation.
- Wavertree: [confused] I'm awfully sorry sir, but I'm afraid this is all rather beyond me...
- Dean of Cardinal: [impatiently] Now don't lie to me sir, Mrs. Craddock has freely confessed everything!
- Wavertree: Everything?
- Dean of Cardinal: Everything!
- Elsa Craddock: Everything!
- Wavertree: [catching on] Oh... oh, she has! Oh... heh heh... oh, whoo! What a relief, sir! Now I need lie no more!
- Dean of Cardinal: Ah, then you admit it!
- Wavertree: Yes, rah-ther sir! Every time! I'd have told you in the first place sir, but we Wavertrees always protect the lady in the case!
- Elsa Craddock: [somewhat sarcastic] He has a natural power over women. Try to use it for good, Marmaduke.

- Lee Sheridan: Well if like to take up journalism - you see my Dad owns a newspaper.

- Captain Wavertree: You know, she's the dead spit of the little baggage I was sent down for in '98. Who is she?
- Wavertree: Elsa Craddock, Mrs.
- Captain Wavertree: Well, there's your opportunity, my boy. I've been waiting for you to cut a dash you know.
- Wavertree: Don't you worry, uncle - I'll soon be kicked out. I've been seeing quite a lot of her lately as a matter of fact.
- Captain Wavertree: Oh, then you do inherit something from me after all.
- Wavertree: Well, I'm hoping to.
- Scatters: Do you hear them bells? Centuries old some of them and still as clear as the day they was cast.
