[Kemal Pamuk, a Turkish diplomat, has been found dead in his bed - he actually died of a heart attack in Lady Mary's bed while they were making love, but only Mary, Cora and Anna the maid know this. Cora and her daughters are in the sitting room when Violet is shown in]
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham : Oh my dears. Is it really true? I can't believe it. Last night he looked so well. Of course, it *would* happen to a foreigner. It's typical.
Lady Mary Crawley : Don't be ridiculous.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham : I'm not being ridiculous. No Englishman would dream of dying in someone else's house - especially somebody they didn't even know.

Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham : [reading from Evelyn Napier's letter in which he discusses the countess' invitation to stay at Downton the night before the hunt] Apparently he's bringing a friend with him, an attache at the Turkish Embassy, Mr. Kemal Pamuk. He's the son of one of the Sultan's ministers and he's here for the Albanian talks.
Lady Mary Crawley : [Looking confused] What's that?
Lady Edith Crawley : To create an independent Albania. Don't you read the papers?
Lady Mary Crawley : I'm too busy living a life.

Evelyn Napier : [about Kemal Pamuk's death] I imagine you've heard what's happened.
Lady Mary Crawley : Yes.
Evelyn Napier : Terrible thing. Awful. Ghastly for your parents; I don't suppose I shall ever make it up to them.
Lady Mary Crawley : But it wasn't your fault.
Evelyn Napier : Well, I brought him here. If it isn't my fault, who's it it?... I was wondering if you might show me the gardens before I go...? We could get some fresh air.
Lady Mary Crawley : I won't, if you'll forgive me. I ought to stay and help Mama.
Evelyn Napier : [nods] Of course. I'm so sorry about all of this. I've told your father I'll deal with the embassy-there won't be any more annoyance for you.
Lady Mary Crawley : Thank you.
Evelyn Napier : Actually, he was a terribly nice fellow. I wish you could have known him better.
[Lady Mary starts to tear up]
Evelyn Napier : I took him on as a duty, but I liked him more and more, the longer I knew him.
[Looks up, notices Mary crying]
Evelyn Napier : Perhaps you saw his qualities for yourself.
[Lady Mary turns and runs back up the stairs, sobbing]
Evelyn Napier : Which, obviously... you did.

Lady Mary Crawley : [to Matthew Crawley] You should learn to forget what I say. I know I do.

Lady Mary Crawley : [about Evelyn Napier] He's out with the York and Ainsty next week. The meet is at Downton. He wants some tea when he's up here.
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham : Where's he staying? With friends?
Lady Mary Crawley : He says he's found a pub that caters for hunting.
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham : Oh, we can improve on that - he must come here; he can send the horses up early, if he wants.
Lady Mary Crawley : He'll know why you're asking him.
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham : I can't think what you mean; his mother's a friend of mine - she'll be pleased at the idea.
Lady Mary Crawley : Not *very* pleased... she's dead.
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham : ...All the more reason, then.

Lady Mary Crawley : Our dentist is horrid.
