Rochester : I don't mean to upset people, but I must speak my mind. For what's in my mind is far more interesting than what's outside my mind.

Rochester : Did I once praise you for your blunt manner?
Alcock : It was your reason for employing me.
Rochester : It could as easy be your grounds for dismissal.

Molly Luscombe : My lord, Alice Twoumy has sent word. Her child is sick and she shan't come.
Rochester : What was to be her role?
Molly Luscombe : She was playing "Little Clitoris."
Rochester : Of course. Alcock! This is your moment. You will stand in for her.
Alcock : No, my lord.
Rochester : I beg your pardon?
Alcock : I'm Alcock. "Little Clitoris" is beyond my range.

Nobleman : I will not employ a thief.
Rochester : Then I will.
