Quotes
-
Roger Bassington-ffrench : Good Lord, where did he come from?
Frankie Derwent : You know chauffeurs, they just appear.
-
Roger Bassington-ffrench : Now, do you like fast, or very fast?
-
Roger Bassington-ffrench : Personally, I think he's a quack, pompous one at that, but I don't suppose he could do much harm.
Frankie Derwent : Really? I think he could do rather a lot.
-
Frankie Derwent : First, you have to tell me something.
Roger Bassington-ffrench : I don't, actually, but go on.
-
Roger Bassington-ffrench : How are you, Sylv? Bearing up?
Sylvia Bassington-ffrench : I was saying to Frankie I couldn't have dealt with this on my own.
Frankie Derwent : And I was saying she absolutely could.
Roger Bassington-ffrench : Well, I'd like to think of myself as indispensable always, but, uh, Frankie's right... some of the time.

Roger Bassington-ffrench : Well, put yourself in my shoes. A man's lying dead on a beach, a photograph of a woman I know and happen to rather like, is in his pocket. Why knows why? It's nobody's business but his and hers. But, by God, the newspapers would have made it everybody's business. Moira would have been publicly shames, kicked out of that nut farm up the road. Not a bad thing, in my view, but a bad way of doing it. Moira ought to be able to leave as she pleases, not as the fucking Daily Mail pleases! Excuse my language.
Frankie Derwent : It's alright. I've heard the words Daily Mail before.
