Perdita Weeks: Lady Georgiana Grex

Quotes 

• Lady Georgiana Grex : It's rather sad that all our old books and pictures seem to be emigrating these days, in search of a better life.

• Harry Widener : [asking Georgiana to dance]  May I have the pleasure?

  Lady Georgiana Grex : You don't know it'll be a pleasure.

  Harry Widener : Oh, I'll take my chances.

• Lady Georgiana Grex : [while waltzing with Harry]  I can't think why I'm doing this. I despise this sort of thing.

  Harry Widener : That sounds interesting.

  Lady Georgiana Grex : Please don't flirt with me, Mr. Widener. You'll only regret it.

  Harry Widener : Why?

  Lady Georgiana Grex : Because I'm not your type at all, and you're certainly not mine.

  Harry Widener : Hmm. Who is?

  Lady Georgiana Grex : Oh, writers and rebels angry at their fellow man's injustices.

  Harry Widener : Oh, can't a book collector hate injustice, too?

  Lady Georgiana Grex : Not when he's heir to the largest fortune in Philadelphia.

• Lady Georgiana Grex : What's the time? I'd better go and change.

  Hugh, Earl of Manton : No, no. Don't get changed. No one changes on the first night out.

  Lady Georgiana Grex : Why not?

  Louisa, Countess of Manton : It's not the done thing. Just tidy yourself up.

  Lady Georgiana Grex : I still don't see why not.

  Hugh, Earl of Manton : What does it matter?

  Lady Georgiana Grex : Because I don't believe in the 'done thing.' If I do a thing, I like to know why I'm doing it.

  Hugh, Earl of Manton : You wouldn't last long in the army.

• Lady Georgiana Grex : You Americans are so generous to strangers. We English never are.

• Lady Georgiana Grex : Now you'll die of cold.

  Harry Widener : Not if you're near me.

• Harry Widener : After that, I'll come and look for you. I just hope I don't find you.

  Lady Georgiana Grex : Why?

  Harry Widener : 'Cause I want you to be safe.

• Harry Widener : Georgiana, if I don't make it...

  Lady Georgiana Grex : Don't say that! Men'll get through this. In first, in second, and in steerage, and they'll live. Just make sure that you're one of them, please!
