• Margaret : [Approacing Francis after he makes conspicuous eye contact with her]  Francis, how are you?

  Francis Poldark : Margaret, I must see you.

  Margaret : Well, here I am!

  Francis Poldark : [Referring to a proposed sexual encounter]  No, no, no, no, you know what I mean.

  Margaret : Why, no, Francis, I don't think I do.

  Francis Poldark : Please, not so loud.

  Margaret : I'm a respectable married lady nowadays.

  Francis Poldark : [Mockingly]  What, you respectable?

  [laughs derisively] 

  Margaret : Too respectable to be seen with a drunken banker like you.

  Francis Poldark : Margaret... I'm sorry.

  Margaret : What is it you want to say to me, Francis?

  Francis Poldark : Margaret, you and I enjoyed each other's company in the past

  Margaret : Oh, no, my dear!. You might have had. I didn't.

  Francis Poldark : Oh, yes, of course, in your profession, you are obliged to put up with it as long as there is payment.

  Margaret : Francis, I've had a great deal of men coming to tell me their troubles. Yes, I've received a reward for listenin'. Some of them told me before, some of them told me later, but you, dear Francis, you would tell me during, and that is my definition of a bore.
