100+ Best 'Bridgerton' Quotes from the Netflix Series

Philipa Featherington: Alby and I lay together before we arrived.

Portia Featherington: Just lower your voice! Not here. (They go to an empty room...) And what about you? Did you two...

Prudence Featherington: We began. I simply... I do not enjoy it.

Portia Featherington: A woman's pleasure is somewhat more subtle than a man's. You see, when he... inserts himself...

Philipa Featherington: Inserts himself? Inserts himself where?

Portia Featherington: What on earth do you and Mr. Finch do?

Philipa Featherington: We kiss, and then he makes an odd sound, and he goes to change his breeches.

Prudence Featherington: His breeches remain on?

Philipa Featherington: Of course.

Portia Featherington (to herself): Why must I be punished over and over?

(Benedict points our two married couples enjoying themselves to Will, who is worried about the rules and decorum...)

Benedict Bridgerton: Do you know what both of these couples have in common? They are married, like yourself. All these rules are to keep the marriage mart churning. But once you have performed your function and... found your match, you are free.

Will Mondrich: I've been up against men in the ring who could have killed me, and yet I somehow find myself more nervous about tonight's program of dancing and socializing.

Alice Mondrich: Well, at least you have your arms. I can barely move in this.

Benedict Bridgerton: You both look superb. And do not be intimidated. This can all be rather enjoyable if you do not resist.

Young Lady #1: Eloise, do you have any special talents with which you hope to impress the queen?

Eloise Bridgerton: Talents? No. Unless you consider a knack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Like the time I tried to tell the French tutor he was nice, instead, called him "une chouette."

Young Lady #2: An owl! Oh no.

Cressida Cowper: Mr. Beaufort? He is rather furry.

Eloise Bridgerton: Unfortunately, owls have feathers, not fur, so even if I had wanted to insult the poor fellow, I'd have failed at that as well. Yes. Well, in truth, I cannot blame my teachers for my lack of talent. It is not their fault I am such a troublesome student.

Young Lady #3: I think we have found your talent.

Young Lady #4: Indeed. You are a most entertaining speaker. Do not stop.

(Young ladies surround Benedict and Colin...)

Young Lady: Good evening, Mr. Bridgerton, Mr. Bridgerton.

Benedict Bridgerton: Ladies! And more ladies! (quietly so only Colin hears): They've taken to hunting in packs.

Colin Bridgerton: Forget what is wrong or right. Imagine what you would want to say to me if I were a suitor without concerning yourself with how I might receive it.

Penelope Featherington: Your eyes... are the most remarkable shade of blue. Yet, somehow, they shine even brighter when you are kind. I might say something like that if you were a suitor.

Colin Bridgerton: Mm. Well, that was, uh, rather direct.

Penelope Featherington (to Colin): Deep inside, I know I can be clever and amusing, but somehow, my character gets lost between my heart and my mouth, and I find myself saying the wrong thing or, more likely, nothing at all.

Genevieve Delacroix: I practically begged the last Lady Kent to let me craft her something more contemporary, but she insisted on the old fashions. Perhaps you might like to spend some of that new fortune on something more grand?

Alice Mondrich: With such an unexpected new face amongst them, I believe it best to show the ton that not everything has changed.

Genevieve Delacroix: I understand your hesitation. But remember, the ton feeds on the nouveau, and it gets ill-tempered when it is hungry.

Colin Bridgerton: Do you know what I discovered when I was abroad? No one knew me. No one knew who I was supposed to be. I was entirely freed of being the Colin Bridgerton the ton knows me to be. Which is how I became myself. Pen, living for the estimation of others is a trap. Once you break free, the world opens up.

Penelope Featherington: You make it sound so easy.

(Colin is explaining how charming Pen was when they first met, how natural it was to her back then...)

Colin Bridgerton: I think I know why. Because we were children. Before the self-consciousness of adulthood set in. Before we started caring what others think.

Penelope Featherington: Colin, it is impossible to be in society and not care what others think. Society is entirely composed of the judgment of others.

Colin Bridgerton: Do you remember when we first met? I was riding my horse, minding my own business, when I was assaulted... by a devilishly yellow head covering.

Penelope Featherington: It was not my fault. The wind blew it off my head.

Colin Bridgerton: Wind or not, you certainly seemed pleased when I landed in the mud.

Penelope Featherington: I apologized.

Colin Bridgerton: Yes. And you were so very charming about it. Teasing me. Mercilessly, in fact.

Colin Bridgerton: Are you certain you want my help after what Lady Whistledown wrote?

Penelope Featherington: She has never been more wrong about anyone. Let us pay her no heed.

Colin Bridgerton: Indeed. Sooner or later, she will be caught, and we shall dance on the day of her demise.

Colin Bridgerton: I do not care what Lady Whistledown writes about me. But ruining Miss Thompson... I mean, Lady Crane, and then nearly ruining you last season... I will never forgive her.

Eloise Bridgerton: Do you... have any idea who she might be?

Colin Bridgerton: I do not. But trust me, if I ever find out, I will make sure it is her life that is ruined.

Lady Whistledown: Dare I say, this author is ready to play as well. I do not fear change. I embrace it. And then there are some who take the embrace of change a step too far, as with Mr. Colin Bridgerton, who seems to have embraced a new personality entirely. But one must wonder, is this new character the real him, or simply a ploy for attention? And does Mr. Bridgerton even know?

Violet Bridgerton: Did you enjoy your first ball?

Francesca Bridgerton: It was... satisfactory.

Violet Bridgerton: My dear, think of the balls as playing a duet. When you play with another person, there is a certain vulnerability which can be quite frightening, I would imagine. But it is worth it once you find that person with whom you make an unexpected harmony.
