My father raised me to act with honor, but that honor is hanging by a thread that grows more precarious with every moment I spend in your presence. You are the bane of my existence. And the object of all my desires. Night and day, I dream of you. And what I... Do you even know all the ways a lady can be seduced? The things I could teach you.

(Anthony tries to recite a poem Benedict wrote for him to present...)

Anthony Bridgerton: My apologies. I cannot do this. I cannot claim these words as my own. They are someone else's entirely. Truth be told, I'm not... I'm not a man of poetry. Words of flattery are beautiful and sweet, but they are also hollow unless accompanied by action. Miss Edwina, I could stand here and pretend to be someone I am not. I could pretend to want the very same things as you, but I'd be lying. I may not be able to... offer the display of passion that you truly deserve. But I assure you that when it comes to action and duty... I shall never be found lacking. And I hope that is what will speak louder than any pretty words ever can.

Benedict Bridgerton: "What is it, truly, to admire a woman? To look at her and feel inspiration. To delight in her beauty.

Benedict Bridgerton: Mm-hmm.

Anthony Bridgerton: Good God. Good night.

Anthony Bridgerton: It is only out of the greatest love of my family that I aim to choose a bride with my head and not my... heart.

Eloise Bridgerton: Swept away by many a nimble-footed young lady, Brother?

Anthony Bridgerton: I can still barely feel my toes. I thought you ladies were taught to dance.

Eloise Bridgerton: I thought you gentlemen capable of worthwhile conversation. How sad both of our hopes were dashed.

Violet Bridgerton: See that he is quite well.

Benedict Bridgerton: Me?

Anthony Bridgerton: I'm not in need of coddling. I assure you all, everything is in order.

Anthony Bridgerton: I do not need feeling. What I need is what I have, and that is a list. Tolerable, dutiful, suitable enough hips for childbearing, and at least half a brain. And that last part is not so much a requirement but a preference, in fact.
