My Favorite in Downton Abbey

Mary: Where is everyone?

Matthew: I’m not sure. Cousin Violet’s gone home.

Mary: What about you?

Matthew: I’m waiting for Lavinia and mother.

Mary: Dr. Clarkson wants Lavinia to stay here. He will see her tomorrow. … I don’t know this one.

Matthew: Actually, I rather like it. I think it was in a show that flopped. “Zip! Goes A Million” or something.

Mary: Can you manage without your stick?

Matthew: You ARE my stick.

Mary: H… We were a show that flopped.

Matthew: God Mary… I’m so so sorry. You know how sorry I am.

Mary: Don’t be. It wasn’t anyone’s fault. If it was, it was mine.

Matthew: You know Cousin Violet came to me, told me to marry you.

Mary: When was this?

Matthew: A while ago, when we knew I would walk again.

Mary: Classic granny. What did you say?

Matthew: I couldn’t accept Lavinia’s sacrifice of her life, her children, her future, and then give her the brush off when I was well again. I couldn’t, could I?

Mary: Of course not.

Matthew: However much I might want to.

Mary: Absolutely not.
