Episode #1.3 (2010)

Dan Stevens: Matthew Crawley

Quotes 

• Isobel Crawley : [Talking to Matthew about a letter that came from Downton Abbey]  There are two young men staying, so you won't be so outnumbered for once.

  Matthew Crawley : What men?

  Isobel Crawley : A Turkish diplomat called something I can't read, and "Lord Branksome's charming son"... who is to be flung at Mary, presumably.

  Matthew Crawley : When it comes to cousin Mary, she is quite capable of doing her own flinging, I assure you.

• Matthew Crawley : [referring to his obvious interest in Mary]  Will she stay at the hunt the whole day?

  Lady Edith Crawley : [disappointed that Matthew is not interested in her but her sister]  Oh, you know Mary. She likes to be in at the kill.

• Matthew Crawley : [to Evelyn Napier after Mary rudely leaves their conversation to talk to Kemal Pamuk]  It seems we must brush up on our powers of fascination.

  Evelyn Napier : I was a fool to bring him here.

  Matthew Crawley : Don't you like him?

  Evelyn Napier : Well, I like him very much. But so does everyone else, unfortunately.

  Evelyn Napier : [Lady Edith glaces over at them, smiles, and approaches]  Excuse me.
