- Monk Adderley: [to George] Strikes me, muh dear, that you have everything a reasonable man could possibly want.
- Demelza Poldark: [Coming across Ross chopping down George's fence] What are you doin'?
- Ross Poldark: George has no right to fence this land. It's been a right of way for centuries. He puts fences around everything!
- Demelza Poldark: Legally he can, I suppose.
- Ross Poldark: Legally? What does that mean?
- Demelza Poldark: Oh, Ross it's not good you're so bitter at the moment, is it? You'd do better knockin' down the barriers between us than George's fences.
- Rev. Osborne Whitworth: [sarcastically referring to his now celibate marriage] Very well, Morwenna, see if you can tempt me with some of your... cold chicken.
