He didn't resist temptation. He pursued it.

Quotes:

[first lines]::Rochester: Allow me to be frank at the commencement. You will not like me. The gentlemen will be envious and the ladies will be repelled. You will not like me now and you will like me a good deal less as we go on. Ladies, an announcement: I am up for it, all the time. That is not a boast or an opinion, it is bone hard medical fact. I put it round you know. And you will watch me putting it round and sigh for it. Don't. It is a deal of trouble for you and you are better off watching and drawing your conclusions from a distance than you would be if I got my tarse up your petticoats. Gentlemen. Do not despair, I am up for that as well. And the same warning applies. Still your cheesy erections till I have had my say. But later when you shag - and later you will shag, I shall expect it of you and I will know if you have let me down - I wish you to shag with my homuncular image rattling in your gonads. Feel how it was for me, how it is for me and ponder. 'Was that shudder the same shudder he sensed? Did he know something more profound? Or is there some wall of wretchedness that we all batter with our heads at that shining, livelong moment. That is it. That is my prologue, nothing in rhyme, no protestations of modesty, you were not expecting that I hope. I am John Wilmot, Second Earl of Rochester and I do not want you to like me.

Rochester: That would not be appropriate for a man of breeding.::[Throws food at his mother]

Rochester: How old are you, Mr Downs?::Billy Downs: Eighteen, my lord.::Rochester: Young man, you will die of this company. Do not laugh, I'm serious.

Rochester: And yet you do not draw the moral of the incident.::Billy Downs: Which is?::Rochester: That any experiment of interest in life will be carried out at your own expense. Mark it well.

Rochester: This is your first season on the London stage?::Elizabeth Barry: It is, my lord.::Rochester: Mrs. Barry, you must acquire the trick of ignoring those who do not like you. In my experience, those who do not like you fall into two categories: The stupid and the envious. The stupid will like you in five years time. The envious, never.

Rochester: If you had ever loved a man, you would say that speech with regret because you would fear the loss of him.::Elizabeth Barry: And supposing I have loved?::Rochester: Then show me in the speech.

Rochester: I am come to train you... in your acting.::Elizabeth Barry: So you said when we first met, but your reputation being what it is, I thought you meant something different.::Rochester: I have, I hope, many reputations.

Rochester: Ah, to die onstage at the hands of a beautiful woman.::Elizabeth Barry: I am no such!

Rochester: When I wake in the country, I dream of being in London. When I get here, it's full of people like you.

Rochester: Well freeze my piss if the royal finger ain't beckoning me. How exciting.

Jack: Help! Help!::[Jack Benny then woke up, from his dream]::Jack: Gee, what a crazy dream. Imagine, Mary and me, as two little mice, trapped inside a cat. And I was playing the violin.::[after waking up, he hears a bad violin rendition of Rock-A-Bye Baby, that came from inside his sleeping cat. Then, he sees the same two figures of mice, of Jack Benny and Mary Livingstone, that were in his dream, as they were crawling out, escaping from his sleeping cat. Benny then turned to the audience, with one of his most-popular trademark takes, as the cartoon concluded and closing credits begin]

Mary: Where's Mr. Benny?::Rochester: Down in the cheese vault, counting out his cheese.::Mary: Oh, no. Not again?

Mary: I just love cheese. Really I do.

Whipsnade: [sings in shower] I'd rather have two girls / At twenty-one each / Than one girl at forty-two!

Man: There's been a mistake in my change.::Whipsnade: Ah, at long last, an honest man. Want to return some money?::Man: No, I'm short!::Whipsnade: Don't brag about it. I'm only five-feet-eight myself.

Whipsnade: As my dear old grandfather Litvak said (just before they swung the trap), he said "You can't cheat an honest man. Never give a sucker an even break or smarten up a chump."

Charlie McCarthy: Are you eating a tomato or is that your nose?

Edgar Bergen: I've got a good mind to...::Charlie McCarthy: Why don't you use it?

Whipsnade: Never trust a ventriloquist or a barber.

Charlie McCarthy: Oop, I dropped something. Hope it didn't hit anybody. Except one.

Whipsnade: [to Charlie] I shall send over a couple of pet beavers to romp with you.

• Rochester - Mat Kearney

i was born in rochester to a book making man
had a fake cigar shop with the games on in the back
see them coming and going letting it ride on thorough breads
the police chief and tom hall wondering what was the spread
i carried rich mans bags through brier trying to chase down a little white ball
learned that any soft place wasn't good for me at all
daddy'd come home fired up looking for some sort of release
he'd beat the hell of timmy and timmy'd beat the hell out of me
i would hop the fence out to those government fields
run till there was nothing left to feel
lying there watching just disappear
knowing one day i'm gonna fly on out of here
the same police chief came knocking my first freshman day
put my daddy in handcuffs and his picture on the front page
took everyone of his suits and all my dignity
i'd walk the halls of irodiquie looking for any punk to set me free
i would hop the fence out to those government fields
run till there was nothing left to feel
lying there watching just disappear
knowing one day i'm gonna fly on out of here
got that call to vietnam just like everyone else i knew
so scared of the hand grenades through them farther then any other troop
came home like an iron fist and timmy tried to take my keys
ripped open his from pocket that was the last time he touched me
moved to an island out west and up to Breckenridge
met a mermaid on a glass boat and she promised me some kids
bought a house in oregon where you could touch both of the walls
had a son named benjamin and i was so scared of it all
well benjamin walked in the front room where i was cutting up my hash
looked into his deep blue eyes wondering why i'd been so mad
flushed a quarter pound down the drain praying for the mercy to confess
trying to rip the boy from Rochester right out of my chest
were gonna walk right out into those heavenly fields
run like there was no more time to steal
my three boys and the grace of god revealed
knowing one day you're gonna take me out of here
