- Dr. Clarkson: [the Dowager is trying to convince him to persuade Cora and Robert there was no chance to save Sybil] So, you want me to talk to them and say there was no chance at all.
- Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: *Lie* is so unmusical a word. I want you to review the evidence honestly and without bias,
- Dr. Clarkson: Even to ease suffering, I could never justify telling an outright *lie*.
- Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Have we *nothing* in common?
- Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: [to Robert] My dearest boy, there is no test on earth greater than the one you have been put to. I do nut speak much of the heart since it seldom helps to do so - but I know well enough the pain when it is broken.
- Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Robert, people like us are *never* unhappily married.
- Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: What do we do if we are?
- Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Well, in those moments, a couple is unable to see as much of each other as they would like.
- Mrs. Patmore: [exasperated to Ethel] Anyone who has the use of their limbs can make a salmon mousse!
- Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: I do not speak much of the heart, since it's seldom helpful to do so.
- Daisy Mason: No farmer is his own boss - he takes his orders from the sun and the snow and the wind and the rain.
- Charles Carson: You can talk as tough as you like. I know you won't abandon me.
- Mrs. Hughes: Well, then, why doesn't that thought make you kinder?
- Charles Carson: Because I am who I am, Mrs. Hughes.
- [the servants are discussing Robert's angry outburst at Mrs Crawley's dinner party concerning Ethel who had worked as a prostitute before Mrs Crawley took her in and gave her a job as cook]
- Joseph Molesley: You mean they *stayed* in that house, even after they knew?
- Mrs. Hughes: I expect they didn't want to insult Mrs Crawley.
- Joseph Molesley: I couldn't have swallowed another bite. Not once *I* knew.
- Mrs. Hughes: Jesus managed to eat with Mary Magdalene.
- Joseph Molesley: We can't be sure that he *ate* with her. He did allow her to wash his feet.
- Mrs. Hughes: [grinning] I see. Well, I'll tell Ethel she has a treat in store.
