Lord Bullingdon : [after Barry has whipped him repeatedly with a cane] Will that be all Mr. Redmond Barry?
Redmond Barry : Yes, that will be all.
Lord Bullingdon : Well then, look you now... from this moment, I will submit to no further chastisement from you. I will kill you, if you lay hands on me ever again! Is that entirely clear to you, sir?
Redmond Barry : [under his breath] Get out of here!

[Redmond Barry sees a lone figure down the road, his back facing him]
Redmond Barry : Excuse me, sir!
[Man turns around aiming dual pistols at Barry]
Captain Feeny : Good morning again, young sir!
[a young man on horseback approaches and holds Barry up from behind with a pistol]
Captain Feeny : Don't even think about it. Get down off that horse. Raise your hands high above your head, please. Come forward... stop. How do you do? I'm Captain Feeny.
Redmond Barry : Captain Feeny?
Captain Feeny : Captain Feeny at your service.
Redmond Barry : THE Captain Feeny?
Captain Feeny : None other. May I introduce you to my son, Seamus.
Seamus : How do you do?
Redmond Barry : How do you do?
Captain Feeny : To whom have I the honor of speaking?
Redmond Barry : My name's Redmond Barry.
Captain Feeny : How do you do Mr. Barry? And now I'm afraid we must get on to the more regrettable stage of our brief acquaintance. Turn around, and keep your hands high above your head, please.
[Seamus frisks Barry and finds a pouch full of money]
Seamus : There must be 20 guineas in gold here, father!
Captain Feeny : Well, well, well. You seem to be a very well set up young gentleman, sir!
Redmond Barry : Captain Feeny, that's all the money my mother had in the world. Mightn't I be allowed to keep it? I'm just one step ahead of the law myself. I killed and English officer in a duel, and I'm on my way to Dublin until things cool down.
Captain Feeny : Mr. Barry, in my profession we hear many such stories. Yours is one of the most intriguing and touching I've heard in many weeks. Nevertheless, I'm afraid I cannot grant your request. But I'll tell you what I will do. I'll allow you to keep those fine pair of boots which in normal circumstances I would have for myself. The next town is only 5 miles away, and I suggest you now start walking.
Redmond Barry : Mightn't I be allowed to keep my horse?
Captain Feeny : I should like to oblige you, but with people like us, we must be able to travel faster than our clients. Good day, young sir.
[Barry soon is a few paces ahead of the robbers]
Captain Feeny : You can put down your hands now, Mr. Barry!

Sir Charles Lyndon : Have you done with my Lady?
Redmond Barry : I beg your pardon?
Sir Charles Lyndon : Come, come, sir. I'm a man who would rather be known as a cuckold than a fool.
-
Sir Charles Lyndon : [laughs] He wants to step into my shoes. He wants to step into my shoes. Is it not a pleasure Gentlemen for me, as I am drawing near the goal - to find my home such a happy one - my wife so fond of me, that she is even now thinking of appointing a successor? Isn't it a comfort to see her like a prudent housewife - getting everything ready for her husband's departure?
Redmond Barry : I hope you're not thinking of leaving us soon, Sir Charles?
Sir Charles Lyndon : Not so soon my dear as you may fancy, perhaps. Why man I've been given over many times these four years. And there was always a candidate or two - waiting to apply for the situation. I'm sorry for you, Mr. Barry. It grieves me to keep you or any gentleman waiting. Had you not better arrange with my doctor or have the cook flavor my omelette with arsenic, eh? What are the odds, gentlemen, that I live to see Mr. Barry hang yet?
Redmond Barry : Sir, let those laugh that win.
-
Redmond Barry : I'm not sorry. And I'll not apologize. And I'd as soon go to Dublin as to hell.
-
Redmond Barry : Sir, I... I have a confession to make to you. I'm an Irishman. And my name is Redmond Barry. I was abducted into the Prussian army two years ago, and now have been put into your service by my Captain Potzdorf, and his uncle, the Minister of Police... to serve as a watch upon your... actions... and to give information to the same quarter.
Narrator : [voice-over] The Chevalier was as much affected as Barry at thus finding one of his countrymen. For he too was an exile from home, and a friendly voice, a look, brought the old country back to his memory again.

[Barry has just been arrested by the Prussians for impersonating a British officer]
Redmond Barry : I'm under arrest? Captain Potzdorf, sir! I'm a British officer.
Captain Potzdorf : You are a liar! You are an impostor. You are a deserter. I suspected you this morning, and your lies and folly have confirmed this to me. You pretend to carry dispatches to a British general who has been dead these ten months. You say your uncle is the British Ambassador in Berlin, with the ridiculous name of O'Grady. Now, will you join and take the bounty that is on your head sir, or will you be given up?
Redmond Barry : [beat] I volunteer.
-
Redmond Barry : If ever I should meet him again you will find out who is the best man of the two. I'll fight him sword or pistol, captain as he is.
-
[Barry is masquerading as a British lieutenant in Prussia after having defected from the British army]
German Girl : It must be very danger for you, to be in the war.
Redmond Barry : I'm an officer and I must do my duty.
-
Redmond Barry : It is an honor to meet you, Your Majesty. I knew Sir Charles Lyndon before his passing.
King George III : We were very fond of Sir Charles Lyndon.
