- Demelza Poldark: Are you a gentleman?
- Monk Adderley: I trust so.
- Demelza Poldark: Forgive me... I know little of London manners, but is it not a gentleman's duty to withdraw when a lady asks him?
- Monk Adderley: [Using Demelza's words to sound like a double-entendre] Only when the gentleman has already been in.
- Demelza Poldark: [about her sexy new dress] Oh, Caroline, I look like a wanton.
- Caroline Enys: That is exactly what you're supposed to look like. It's the ambition of every respectable lady.
- Demelza Poldark: So what's the ambitions of wantons?
- Monk Adderley: Two things I like best: to fight duels and make love.
- Demelza Poldark: With the same person?
- Monk Adderley: No, but on the same day. One whets the appetite for the other.
- Ross Poldark: Well, London;s a big place. I doubt if George's path and mine will cross.
- Demelza Poldark: George fled with his tail between his legs.
- [She giggles]
- Ross Poldark: It'll soon wag again if I know George.
- Ross Poldark: [Commenting on Demelza's revealing dress] You know, the vexing thing is that good-looking women look good in almost anything... or, should I say, almost nothing.
