"Covington Cross" Cedric Hits the Road (TV Episode 1992) - Nigel Terry as Sir Thomas Grey

Sir Thomas Grey : Eleanor! Eleanor, are you ready yet? Eleanor, the Duke was sighted 15 minutes ago. He'll be here any second.

[Eleanor gestures to her silk dress]

Eleanor Grey : I would have been ready an hour ago if I didn't have to wear this.

Sir Thomas Grey : You look wonderful in it.

Eleanor Grey : Oh, Father, if you're going to lie to me, at least do it convincingly.

Sir Thomas Grey : I'll try to remember that.
Sir Thomas Grey : You remember Eleanor, my lord.

Duke of Worringer : How much better you look in silk, my dear, then leather. And this skinny lump of dough is my son, Lord Uther.

Eleanor Grey : A pleasure, my lord.

Sir Thomas Grey : Well, answer her, boy. She's a beautiful young lady.

Lord Uther : I hope the pleasure will be all mine after dinner, Lady Eleanor.

Duke of Worringer : [sighs] I think perhaps I ought to throw this one back and catch something better. What do you say, Thomas?
Lady Elizabeth : You know where my heart lies.

Sir Thomas Grey : Next to your pocketbook apparently.
Lady Elizabeth : If it's any conciliation, I don't think I'm a better man than you.

Sir Thomas Grey : That is encouraging. What exactly are you, then?

Lady Elizabeth : Just better.
[last lines]

Sir Thomas Grey : What are we going to do about this?

Lady Elizabeth : Talk about it... tomorrow.

Sir Thomas Grey : That's the first intelligent thing you've said in a long while.
