Algy : Bunbury? He was quite *exploded*.
Lady Bracknell : Exploded?
Algy : [pretending sadness] Mm.
Lady Bracknell : Was he the victim of some revolutionary outrage? I was not aware that Mr. Bunbury was interested in social legislation.
Algy : My dear Aunt Augusta, I mean he was *found out*. The doctors found out that Bunbury could not live - that is what I mean - so Bunbury died.
Lady Bracknell : He seems to have had great confidence in the opinion of his physicians.

Algy : But why does your aunt call you her uncle?
[Reading cigarette case]
Algy : "From little Cecily, with her fondest love to her dear Uncle Jack." There is no objection, I admit, to an aunt being a small aunt, but why an aunt, no matter what her size may be, should call her own nephew her uncle, I can't quite make out.

Algy : The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her if she is pretty, and to someone else if she is plain.

Jack : Good heavens, I suppose a man may eat his own muffins in his own garden.
Algy : But you have just said it was perfectly heartless to eat muffins!
Jack : I said it was perfectly heartless of YOU under the circumstances. That is a very different thing.
Algy : That may be, but the muffins are the same!

Algy : I really don't see what is so romantic about proposing. One may be accepted - one usually is, I believe - and then the excitement is ended. The very essence of romance is uncertainty.

[over the end credits, Algy and Jack rehearse their song to win back their girls]
Jack : I think your high notes may have damaged our chances, old boy. You do want them to come down, don't you?
Algy : Well, they're never going to come down while you're singing like that, you're completely out of tune.
Jack : How dare you.
Algy : I'll take this next bit.
Jack : You leave this one to me, you go and have a lie-down.
Algy : I'm doing it.
Jack : Move out of my way, I'm coming through.
Algy : Go easy, my dear fellow...
Jack : [singing] COME DO-O-O-O-WN, LADY COME DOWN...
Algy : Overdoing it, less is more.

Algy : [to Jack] You are *the* most advanced Bunburyist I know.
