Quotes:

[an animal rights protester has just disrupted the shooting]::Sir Randolph Nettleby: This is a very well produced pamphlet. Where do you get a thing like this printed? Is it expensive? You don't mind my asking you?::Cornelius Cardew: Oh no, not at all. I know a very good printer in Dorking, just near where I live. An excellent man of anarchistic views. He gives me very good rates.::Sir Randolph: Ah, special terms. Hmm. He wouldn't give me such good ones, I suppose.::Cardew: Are you a pamphleteer too, sir?::Sir Randolph: Well, I was thinking of making a sort of foray in that direction.::Cardew: A polemic, would you say?::Sir Randolph: Yes, I think that's the right word.::Cardew: Would you call it a *diatribe*?::Sir Randolph: Yes, I [chuckle] could call it a diatribe.::Cardew: The Ruin of Rural England - A Diatribe::Sir Randolph: Precisely. I don't think we should continue our discussion here... my fellow murderers are rather hot blooded.

Count Tibor Rakassyi: [Aloud to all at the table] Do you hear that, duck? [Rhetorically to the duck] If you're out there on the last day flying over me, I can tell you, you haven't a hope. Bang, bang, and it will all be over! [laughter from the diners]::Osbert Nettleby: If you kill her, I will kill you!::Ellen: [Shocked] Osbert!::Count Tibor Rakassyi: Oh, you will, will you? How do you propose to do that, may I ask?::Osbert Nettleby: I will kill you by prayer. [Additional laughter from dinner guests]

Lady Aline Hartlip: Why are you smiling?::Sir Randolph Nettleby: [Introspectively] I can't imagine... except that... sometimes when my thoughts about the future are particularly gloomy, I find myself feeling more and more light-hearted.

Lady Minnie Nettleby: [to Lady Hartlip] I've always thought your taste in men more Ibsenite than Chekhovian.

Lord Gilbert Hartlip: [to Lady Hartlip] It's quite usual for men to have distractions that don't affect their wives.

Sir Randolph Nettleby: [Understatingly] You don't approve of our sport, I fear.::Cornelius Cardew: It's not my idea of sport! It's my idea of murder!

Lord Bob Lilburn: If the land-owning class goes, everything goes!

Osbert Nettleby: I will kill you with prayer.
