Série - Downton Abbey

What is a Weekend?

- Good heavens, what am I sitting on?
- A swivel… chair.
- Oh, another modern brainwave?
- Not very modern; they were invented by Thomas Jefferson.
- Why does every day involve a fight with an American?

- Pour votre information, il est rare que ma sœur Edith et moi collaborions.
- Aussi rare qu’une licorne.

- Je m’en vais demain matin Lady Grantham, je doute que nous nous revoyons.
- Vous le promettez ?

- What should we call each other?
- Well, we could always start with Mrs. Crawley and Lady Grantham.

Vous avez vécu votre vie et j’ai vécu la mienne… Maintenant, il est temps que nous les vivions ensemble.

- N’y avait-il pas un bal masqué à Paris quand le choléra s’est répandu ? La moitié des invités étaient morts avant de quitter le bal.
- Merci, Mère. Cela nous réconfortera pour un moment.

- I hope you thanked Matthew properly.
- I got them to make him some sandwiches.
- That’s not quite what I meant.
- And he asked me to marry him.
- Heavens, what did they put in them?

I’m woman, Mary. I can be as contrary as I choose.

Oh dear, have you swallowed a dictionary?

- [À Mrs. Crawley] You are quite wonderful, the way you see room for improvement wherever you look. I never knew such reforming zeal.
- I take that as a compliment. [Elle se tourne et part dans l’autre direction]
- [Elle rigole] I must have said it wrong.

- One more thing. The dog. What can we do to stop Isis from getting into the patients bedrooms?
- I can answer that. Absolutely nothing.

- Sorry about the vase.
- Don’t be, don’t be. It was a wedding present from a frightful aunt. I have hated it for half a century.

I’m so sorry, I thought you were a waiter.

Seems a pity to miss such a good pudding.

You’ve lived your life and I’ve lived mine. And now it’s time we lived them together.

- Wasn’t there a masked ball in Paris when cholera broke out? Half the guests were dead before they left the ballroom.
- [Sarcastique] Thank you, Mama. That’s cheered us up no end.

Oh, it’s wonderful what fear can do to the human spirit.

- Are you looking forward to the wedding?
- What do you think?
- I’m looking forward to all sorts of things.
- Don’t make me blush.

- I’m so looking forward to seeing your mother again. When I’m with her I’m reminded of the virtues of the English.
- But isn’t she American?
- Exactly.
