Soames Forsyte : I wish you'd allow me to choose your friends.
Irene Forsyte : As you choose my dresses?
Soames Forsyte : I think you'd admit that I've made you one of the best-dressed women in London. Surely you have no complaints on that score.

Irene Forsyte : [Seeing Soames for the first time in years in a Parisian gallery] Five years! It's quite a long time! How is London?
Soames Forsyte : [Sadly] Just as gray as ever. Perhaps a little grayer... now.

Irene Forsyte : It's clear you haven't met June's grandfather.
Philip Bosinney : Oh, don't worry about the Forsyte family. You'll all find me very tolerant. I'll hold neither their wealth nor their antecedents against them.
Irene Forsyte : That's charming of you.
Philip Bosinney : Not at all. I never believe in judging anyone by what I hear about them. Many a kindly heart beats beneath a diamond tie pin.
