• Earl of Burnstead, aka George : I say, do you believe in love at first sight?

  Nell Kenner : No. Do you?

  Earl of Burnstead, aka George : No. That's why I'd like to stay for a while, if I may.

• [the Earl is telling Ruggles why he'll be going to America with the Flouds] 

  Earl of Burnstead, aka George : His wife took quite a fancy to you... and, uh, so they... won you.

  Ruggles : Won me, m'lord?

  Earl of Burnstead, aka George : Oh, yes, yes, yes. We were playing this game of drawing poker, you see, and it seems there's a thing called 'bluffing'. Though I say it, myself, I'm particularly good at it.

  Ruggles : Do I understand... that I was the stake, m'lord?

  Earl of Burnstead, aka George : Oh, yes, yes, rather, yes. Yes, you see I didn't realize that they were bluffing, too. I, uh, I had three of the eights against a flush of clubs. So you really only lost by one eight.

  Ruggles : Indeed, m'lord.

  Earl of Burnstead, aka George : Oh, yes. I do hope you don't think I didn't lose you gamely as a gentleman should.
