Episode #5.1 (2014)

Episode #5.2 (2014)

Episode #5.3 (2014)

Violet and Isobel:

Violet: Oh, what is the latest from your ageing Romeo?
Isobel: If it's of interest, I haven't heard anything from him ~ since you and I last met.
Violet: Oh, how disappointing.
Isobel: To you, perhaps. Not especially to me. By the way, how is Spratt?
Violet: He's well, I think. Why do you ask?
Isobel: He wasn't there to open the door. I wondered if he might be ill.
Violet: Oh, no. He's not ill. He's in Liverpool. His niece got married yesterday and Spratt had to take her down the aisle.
Isobel: Oh. It seems unlikely to think of Spratt with a private life.
Violet: Hm. Yes. Unlikely and extremely inconvenient.
Isobel: But you can't begrudge him that. Servants are human beings too.
Violet: Yes. But preferably only on their days off.

Violet and Spratt:

Violet: I hope you're not too tired after your exertions.
Spratt: Ooh, M'Lady. I'm not tired exactly.
Violet: Oh, good. I'm glad if the wedding was a success.
Spratt: Oh. The wedding was a success. Yes.
Violet: Spratt, I have told you before, I do not appreciate a man of mystery. If you have something to say, say it.
Spratt: I would, Your Ladyship, but it may not be quite right for me to tell.
Violet: Well, if that is the case then do no say it. Do you have some other business?
Spratt: Only that it may not be mine to tell, but it is, in a way, yours.
Violet: You're testing me, Spratt. And I warn you, being tested does not bring out the best in me.
Spratt: No, Your Ladyship.
Violet: I will not repeat myself. Either impart this piece of information, if you can empower yourself to do so, or go.
Spratt: Very well. I hope Lady Mary enjoyed her time in Liverpool.
Violet: What?
Spratt: I was standing outside the Grand Hotel this morning, M'Lady, when I saw her come out with her suitcases. She was accompanied by Lord Gillingham who had clearly also been staying in the hotel.
Violet: Well, yes. They were both staying there. They were attending an informal conference of northern landowners. Lord Gillingham thought Lady Mary might derive benefit from it.
Spratt: So you knew about it?
Violet: Of course I did. Why? What do you imagine you were witnessing?
Spratt: Well
Violet: Nothing vulgar, I hope! Nothing beneath the dignity of a butler of this house.
Spratt: Oh. Nothing of that sort, M'Lady.
Violet: I'm glad to hear it. Now, if you'll be good enough to let me drink my brandy in peace.
Spratt: Your Ladyship.

Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, to Lady Mary Crawley:

Violet: I hope his arrival means you intend to make it public.
Mary: Darling, granny, you know how much I value your advice…
Violet: Which means you intend to ignore it.
Mary: The point is I won't be hurried into anything. Not by you or him.
Violet: But if you weren't certain, why on earth did you go to bed with him? Well, in my day a lady was incapable of feeling physical attraction until she had been instructed to do so by her mama.
Mary: I don't believe that.
Violet: Seriously, my dear, you have to take control of your feelings before they take control of you.

Episode #5.4 (2014)

Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, and Isobel Crawley:

Violet: Hope is a tease designed to prevent us accepting reality.
Isobel: You only say that to sound clever.
Violet. I know. You should try it.

Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, and Isobel Crawley:

Isobel: Lord Grantham sounds rather more subtle than I'd realized.
Violet: Well, like all Englishmen of his type, he hid his qualities beneath a thick blanket of convention so I didn't see who he really was at first.
Isobel: It's lucky you found out in time...If it was in time.
Violet: I forget.

Robert and Violet:

Robert: He flatters her. He keeps asking her opinion on everything.
Violet: Well, don't you ever ask her opinion?
Robert: Of course I do. Sometimes.

Robert Crawley, Sarah Bunting, Mary:

Robert: Obviously, the lessons have proved successful. I'm pleased to hear it.
Sarah: Are you, Lord Grantham?
Mary: Oh, for heaven's sake, let it go. You've proved your point.
Sarah: Have I, though? All I've proved is that Lord Grantham would like us serfs to stay in our allotted place from cradle to grave.
Robert (angrily): There is only one thing I would like and that I would like passionately. It is to see you leave this house and never come back! (He leaves the room)
Mary: Happy now?

Violet and Edith:

Violet: Edith, dear, are you still writing that very interesting column?
Edith: Yes, Granny.
Violet: Oh, you must show me some of them. What is the latest one about?
Edith: What are they all about? The way the world is changing.

Episode #5.5 (2014)

Rose, Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham, Robert, and Rosamund:

Rose: I say, some man has opened a nudist colony at Wickford on Essex.
Violet: What do you mean a man's opened a colony in Essex?
Robert: Not that sort of colony, mama. It's for people who want to take all their clothes off.
Violet: In Essex? Isn't it terribly damp?
Rosamund: Would that make a difference?
Violet: Well, yes, if you had no clothes on.

Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Patmore:

Mrs. Hughes: Would you like me to leave?
Mrs. Patmore: I'd love to think I have a secret that was too indelicate for a lady's ear but I haven't.

Rosamund to Edith:

Rosamund: I gave up ten months of my life to make sure she came safely into the world.

Rosamund and Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham:

Rosamund: Well, it is very hard-
Violet: Rosamund, you are addressing your mother, not the Committee of the Women's Institute.
Rosamund: I'm afraid you've read somewhere that rudeness in old age is amusing, which is quite wrong, you know.

Robert and Tom:

Robert: I would only say this, Tom: In your time here you've learned both sides of the argument, befriended people you'd once have seen as enemies.
Tom: That's true.
Robert: You should be proud.
Robert: Five years ago, would you have believed you could be friendly with my mother?
Tom: (CHUCKLES) I'm not sure I'd have believed it five minutes ago.
Robert: Don't make nothing of what you've achieved.
Robert: That's all.

Violet and Dr Clarkson talking about Isobel Crawley and Lord Merton:

Dr Clarkson: May I ask to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?
Violet: I'll get straight down to it.
Violet: You know how Lord Merton likes to display his interest in all things medical? At least, he likes to, when in the company of Mrs Crawley.
Dr Clarkson: Your confidence is a compliment.
Violet: I confide in you, Dr Clarkson, because I must.
Violet: Only you can help.
Dr Clarkson: That is more flattering still.
Violet: It's the family's fault, really.
Violet: We've trained her in our ways, and the earnest and intellectual 'bonne bourgeoise' has been replaced by a rather less definable figure.
Dr Clarkson: Are you saying you liked her better when she was more middle-class?
Violet: No, I wouldn't go that far.
Dr Clarkson: But you understood her better.
Violet: Precisely.
Violet: Now I do not know who she is.
Violet: I do not know what it is she wants.
Dr Clarkson: Well, there are many who wouldn't be puzzled by the desire to marry a lord and live in a palace.
Dr Clarkson: Can I ask you a personal question?
Violet: I've lived through great wars and my share of grief.
Violet: I think I can manage an impertinent question from a doctor.
Dr Clarkson: Do you perhaps resent the idea of a change of position for Mrs Crawley?
Violet: I'm sorry.
Violet: I do not quite grasp your question.
Violet: It bewilders me.
Violet: But I will say this: Do you wish to see her live a life devoid of industry and moral worth?
Dr Clarkson: I do not.
Violet: And when the glitter is tarnished, you know, what then? A hollow existence in a large and draughty house, with a man who bores her to death.
Dr Clarkson: It's a terrible prospect.
Violet: So our duty is clear.
