• Ernest : You should be in the staff boat - not with us.

  Bill Crichton : Shall I withdraw, sir?

• Bill Crichton : One can't recapture a dream. Don't spoil it by trying to.

• Lord Loam : They'll get used to the idea.

  Bill Crichton : I sincerely hope not, my lord.

  Lord Loam : None of that, now. Surely you don't object to meeting me as man-to-man. Haven't I always treated you as a human being?

  Bill Crichton : No, certainly not, my lord. Your treatment of me has always been as it should be.

  Lord Loam : That's enough. This afternoon at 4 o'clock, you will be my equal. I'll soon show you whether you are my equal or not.

  Bill Crichton : Oh...

  Lord Loam : You do as you are told!

• Lady Mary : Are you ambitious?

  Bill Crichton : Ambitious? For what?

  Lady Mary : To better yourself.

  Bill Crichton : My lady! I am the son of a butler and a lady's maid. The happiest of all combinations. To me the most beautiful thing in the world is a haughty English aristocratic home with everyone kept in his place.

  Lady Mary : That's not how my father would have it.

  Bill Crichton : Indeed, he would not, my lady. He would have equality for all. But what good would that do? Any satisfaction I might derive out of being your equal would be ruined by the footman being equal to me.

• Lady Mary : Why don't you come deer hunting with me sometime?

  Bill Crichton : Ooh! I might find myself chasing the wrong dear.
