Quotes 

• 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!

• Lord Bullingdon : [referring to Bryan wearing his oversized shoes]  Don't you think he fits my shoes very well, Your Ladyship?

  [kneels to his stepbrother] 

  Lord Bullingdon : Dear child, what a pity it is I am not dead for your sake. The Lyndons would then have a worthy representative, and enjoy all the benefits of the illustrious blood of the Barrys of Barryville... Would they not, Mr. Redmond Barry?

  Lady Lyndon : From the way I love this child, my lord, you ought to know how I would have loved his elder brother... had he proved worthy of any mother's affection.

  Lord Bullingdon : Madam! I have born, as long as any mortal could endure, the ill-treatment of the insolent Irish upstart whom you've taken into your bed. It is not only the lowness of his birth, and the general brutality of his manners, which disgusts me... but also the shameful nature of his conduct towards Your Ladyship, his brutal and un-gentleman-like behavior, his open infidelity, his shameless robberies and swindling of my property and yours. As I cannot personally chastise this lowbred ruffian, as I cannot bear to witness anymore his treatment of you, and as I loathe his horrible society as if it were the plague, I have decided to leave my home and never return... at least, during his detested life, or during my own.

  [Lady Lyndon grabs Bryan and runs from the room in tears. Barry rushes Bullingdon and wallops him in a rage, until the guests pull them apart] 

• Lord Bullingdon : [to a drunk Barry]  I have now come to claim that satisfaction.

• Rev. Samuel Runt : My Lord Bullingdon, you seem particularly glum today. You should be happy that your mother has remarried.

  Lord Bullingdon : Not in this way. And not in such haste. And certainly not to this man.

  Rev. Samuel Runt : I think you judge your mother too harshly. Do you not like your new father?

  Lord Bullingdon : Not very much. He seems to me little more than a common opportunist. I don't think he loves my mother at all, and it hurts me to see her make such a fool of herself.
