- Sir Thomas Grey: Eleanor! Eleanor, are you ready yet? Eleanor, the Duke was sighted 15 minutes ago. He'll be here any second.
- [Eleanor gestures to her silk dress]
- Eleanor Grey: I would have been ready an hour ago if I didn't have to wear this.
- Sir Thomas Grey: You look wonderful in it.
- Eleanor Grey: Oh, Father, if you're going to lie to me, at least do it convincingly.
- Sir Thomas Grey: I'll try to remember that.
- Sir Thomas Grey: You remember Eleanor, my lord.
- Duke of Worringer: How much better you look in silk, my dear, then leather. And this skinny lump of dough is my son, Lord Uther.
- Eleanor Grey: A pleasure, my lord.
- Sir Thomas Grey: Well, answer her, boy. She's a beautiful young lady.
- Lord Uther: I hope the pleasure will be all mine after dinner, Lady Eleanor.
- Duke of Worringer: [sighs] I think perhaps I ought to throw this one back and catch something better. What do you say, Thomas?
- Richard Grey: I don't know what father is so worried about. As soon as Cedric comes back, the Duke is bound to give us the contract.
- Armus Grey: Assuming Cedric is coming back...
- [Cedric's horse appears outside the castle]
- Armus Grey: ...which seems unlikely without his horse.
- Richard Grey: I'll saddle the horses.
- Armus Grey: I'll get the swords.
- [Armus and Richard have just rescued Cedric from a lynch mob]
- Cedric Grey: I swear to you this will never happen again.
- Armus Grey: That's for certain. After this, you'll be lucky if Father sends you out for a glass of water.
- Armus Grey: Don't tell me the contract is still in the town.
- Cedric Grey: I never got it. It was stolen from me. That's why I'm in these clothes. Somebody hit me on the head and took everything.
- Richard Grey: Someone rode up to you and you let them hit you on the head?
- Cedric Grey: Well, no, but I was at this inn and...
- Armus Grey: Here it comes...
- Cedric Grey: ...there was this...
- Armus Grey: Girl.
- Cedric Grey: Yes, but...
- Richard Grey: So we have to find this girl...
- Armus Grey: ...and her accomplice, hopefully...
- Richard Grey: ...who still has the contract.
- Armus Grey: Where is she?
- Cedric Grey: That way.
- Richard Grey: Finally.
- Lady Elizabeth: If it's any conciliation, I don't think I'm a better man than you.
- Sir Thomas Grey: That is encouraging. What exactly are you, then?
- Lady Elizabeth: Just better.
- [last lines]
- Sir Thomas Grey: What are we going to do about this?
- Lady Elizabeth: Talk about it... tomorrow.
- Sir Thomas Grey: That's the first intelligent thing you've said in a long while.
- [blows out the candle]
