- Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: All this endless thinking. It's very overrated... I blame the war. Before 1914 nobody thought about anything at all.
- Lady Mary Crawley: ...I only want what you want.
- Mabel Lane Fox: Which is?
- Lady Mary Crawley: For you and Tony to walk into the sunset together
- Mabel Lane Fox: Then why turn up looking like a cross between a Vogue fashion plate and a case of dynamite?
- Lady Mary Crawley: Well, I can't make it too easy for him
- Prince Kuragin: You think to be unhappy in a marriage is ill-bred.
- Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: You do know me, Igor, that I must concede.
- Lady Edith Crawley: [to Branson as she is leaving Downton] You're a fine man, Tom. You mustn't let them flatten that out of you.
- Hairdresser: [French accent] Oh! It is wonderful, my lady.
- [camera moves, revealing in a mirror that Mary has a new short bob haircut]
- Lady Mary Crawley: I hope so. My father will explode.
- Hairdresser: [French accent] Superbe!
- Lady Mary Crawley: Thank you. You've made me feel very strong.
- [she hands him a five pound note]
- Lady Mary Crawley: Does this cover it?
- Hairdresser: [French accent] My lady is very generous.
- [Mary walks away]
- Hairdresser: [to a colleague, in his own Yorkshire accent] At least she can carry it off. Most of them look like bald monkeys.
- Prince Kuragin: [sarcastically to Violet] How nice to be back in a world where ladies are accompanied by their maids!
