Anthony Bridgerton: You barely know the young lady. What on earth were you thinking?
Colin Bridgerton: I was thinking you would probably respond like this and how little I would care to hear.
Anthony Bridgerton: Do you think this is a joke? Poor Mother was beside herself.
Colin Bridgerton: Mother seems perfectly happy to me. She congratulated us.
Anthony Bridgerton: So, you compromised this young lady?
Colin Bridgerton: Certainly not. I am a gentleman.
Anthony Bridgerton: Then why ever would you...
Colin Bridgerton: Why does anyone marry, brother? For love, of course.
Anthony Bridgerton: Look, I know you are still rather green, and that is my fault. I should've taken you to brothels when you returned home from Eton. So if this is simply a matter of wetting your wick...
Colin Bridgerton: You really are an ass. Do you know that?
Anthony Bridgerton: This is what comes of not sowing your wild oats. Proposing to the first chit you set your cap at.
Colin Bridgerton: Enough! You insult me and you insult my intended. It is not my fault, nor Marina's that you cannot fathom true attachment.
Anthony Bridgerton: You are still a child, Colin.
Colin Bridgerton: I'm older than Daphne and you were happy to marry her off.
Anthony Bridgerton: It is not the same and you know it.
Colin Bridgerton: I know nothing of the sort.
Anthony Bridgerton: Then you betray your immaturity!
Colin Bridgerton: If I caused Mother discomfort today, I am sorry for it. I shall speak with her. The truth is, I do not require your permission to marry Miss Thompson... but I would very much prefer to have your blessing.
Anthony Bridgerton: Then I am afraid I must disappoint you.
Colin Bridgerton: You have... in more ways than one.
