- Adrian Messenger: There's nary a conspiracy. And if I'm right about this, it's a far older sin than politics.
- Raoul Le Borg: Your husband will not be alarmed that you are not at home?
- Lady Jocelyn Bruttenholm: My husband's dead. He was killed in Korea with the Gloucesters.
- Raoul Le Borg: And you are a widow all this time?
- Lady Jocelyn Bruttenholm: Yes.
- Raoul Le Borg: Appalling!
- Lady Jocelyn Bruttenholm: I beg your pardon!
- Raoul Le Borg: I am a Frenchman, Madame. I abhor waste.
- Marquis of Gleneyre: [gathered together, playing cards] You hunt, LeBorg?
- Raoul Le Borg: Alas, the horse and l are not compatible.
- Marquis of Gleneyre: Shoot, eh?
- Raoul Le Borg: The birds don't attack me, l don't attack them.
- Marquis of Gleneyre: Fish?
- Raoul Le Borg: Pourquoi? All the fish one wants are available in the market.
- Marquis of Gleneyre: What *do* you do?
- Lady Jocelyn Bruttenholm: He swims.
- Raoul Le Borg: Not by choice, Madame.
- Marquis of Gleneyre: Had a brother who went to America once. Canada, actually. Before the first German war. Suppose he's dead by now. Almost everyone is.
- George Brougham: [Referring to the plane crash] You know, according to the newspapers, there's a strong possibility that the crash was no accident.
- Lady Jocelyn Bruttenholm: If there was a bomb, it would have to have been put there by a madman.
- George Brougham: That's the excuse they usually give for evil. Hitler was mad, they said. So he may have been... but not necessarily. Evil does exist. Evil IS.

- Cameo: I protest this cruel and inhumane activity. Sir
- [indistinguishable]
- Cameo: . don't you know the animals are your friends? Are you the master?
- Marquis of Gleneyre: I am, Madame.
- Cameo: Then call off this wretched business. What has the fox ever done to you? Why do you persecute him?
- Marquis of Gleneyre: [Imperiously] Madame, the fox and I know more of life than you do. It is man's nature to hunt; it is the fox's to be hunted.
- [Dismissively]
- Marquis of Gleneyre: Good morning, Madame.
- Raoul Le Borg: [Referring to Brougham] So, the masquerade is over
- Anthony Gethryn: [sighs] Yeah, no need for disguises now. All that ended when the last name was struck off the list. All he has to do now is be his own charming self.
- Raoul Le Borg: What arrogance... making himself welcome at Gleneyre!
- Anthony Gethryn: Heh, makes it easier for him to get at the boy, hmmm, from the inside. You know, I hate to admit it, but I must confess to a sneaking admiration for him.
