Quotes
-
Lady Karen Winderscale : [desperately] Look, Darling, I can explain.
Lord Winderscale : Please, no more lies. You wanted it so much.
[he gives the painting to Lady Karen]
Lord Winderscale : Here, it's yours. Take it and go. Your bags are packed and ready. Mr Millhaven's two representatives are awaiting your arrival in their hotel in Leeds. I do hope he pays you a fair price for that. Because *that* is all you're ever going to get from me by way of a settlement.
Lady Karen Winderscale : Look, you can't...
[to Howard Longhurst]
Lady Karen Winderscale : He can't do this to me, Howard.
Howard Longhurst : He can. Think yourself lucky, Karen. In a divorce court you'd get nothing. I've resigned as your husband's legal advisor and I'm quite prepared to testify to our affair.
Kevin : You and all? Hell's bloody bells!
Lord Winderscale : Indeed.
Lord Winderscale : [shouts] Morgan!
Lady Karen Winderscale : You fool! I've got *exactly* what I wanted: one million pounds, and I don't have to share a penny of it with anybody. All I ever wanted was to get away from you - from you and this dead-and-alive place.
[Morgan comes into the room]
Lord Winderscale : This lady is leaving, Morgan, never to return.
Morgan : [obsequiously] Oh, very good, sir.
Morgan : [snarls] Right, you trollope. Git!
[Lady Winderscale walks out of the room]
Kevin : After all we went through to get it back for you.
Sally Hardcastle : What the *hell* have you done?
Lord Winderscale : [gleefully] That painting is in fact a forgery.
Kevin : So Lady Muck ended up with sweet FA?
Lord Winderscale : Correct. And she won't find out until Millhaven tries to get it authenticated.
[they all laugh]
