Quotes 

• Nancy : Have you ever heard the phrase children should be seen not heard?

  Mary : Yes. I think it's nonsense.

  Nancy : Well for my part, I've always found it to be entirely too liberal.

  Mary : So you'd rather not see Thomas?

  Patrick Melrose : Jesus Christ, Nancy you sound like my father.

  Nancy : Patrick, we're trying to extend some hospitality.

  Patrick Melrose : [in a southern American accent]  And we're just poor white trash throwin' ourselves on the American kin.

  Cousin Henry : You don't have to be accepted if you don't want to.

  Patrick Melrose : You're right. We don't.

  Mary : But we'd like to.

  Patrick Melrose : Speak for yourself.

  Mary : I do. I'm also trying to speak for our children.

  Patrick Melrose : You're not even speaking for yourself!

  Patrick Melrose : [to Nancy]  Entirely too liberal? Come on! Fuck off!

• Patrick Melrose : Christ I hate the rich!

  Mary Melrose : Especially now that you're not going to become one.

  Patrick Melrose : Especially now.

• Mary : I feel no affection for you at all when you're like this.

  Patrick Melrose : And the rest of the time?

  Mary : The rest of the time? I should tell you that I've been considering living my life without you. Any kind of love or patience, it's all dried up. It's not just the drinking. It's this demeaning thing with Julia. Demeaning to you as much as it is to me. All this mindless destruction, it's the way the children are involved. That thing Nancy said tonight about watching it destroy her father's life? Well that's what Robert witnessed. And yet you don't stop. If you can't change, you'll have to go.
