[Matthew is listening to a song on the new gramophone. Mary joins him]
Lady Mary Crawley : I don't know this one.
Matthew Crawley : Actually I rather like it. I think it was in a show that flopped. "Zip Goes a Million" or something.
[Matthew holds out his arms. He and Mary start to dance]
Lady Mary Crawley : Can you manage without your stick?
Matthew Crawley : You *are* my stick.
Lady Mary Crawley : *We* were a show that flopped.
Matthew Crawley : God, Mary, I'm so, so sorry. You know how sorry I am.
Lady Mary Crawley : Don't be. It wasn't anyone's fault. If it was, it was mine.
Matthew Crawley : You know Cousin Violet came to me. Told me to marry you.
Lady Mary Crawley : When was this?
Matthew Crawley : A while ago. When we knew I would walk again.
Lady Mary Crawley : Classic Granny. What did you say?
Matthew Crawley : That I couldn't accept Lavinia's sacrifice of her life, her children, her future, and then give her the brush-off when I was well again. Well, I couldn't, could I?
Lady Mary Crawley : Of course not.
Matthew Crawley : How ever much I might want to.
Lady Mary Crawley : Absolutely not.

Matthew Crawley : [jokingly to Isobel as Matthew leans for support on Lavinia] She's just sucking up, Mother.
Lavinia Swire : [good-naturedly] Any bride who doesn't suck up to her husband's mother is a fool.
