100+ Best 'Bridgerton' Quotes from the Netflix Series

Cressida Cowper: It has been difficult to find a husband. It has been more difficult still to find a friend. I've not had many since my debut. Not real ones. I did as a girl. But the season has a way of coming between young ladies, pitting us against one another. I suppose I've fallen prey to it... once or twice.

Eloise Bridgerton: Or thrice. But you are right. Society does not seek to forge affections amongst us. I... I thought I was the only one who noticed.

Colin Bridgerton: Is something wrong, Pen? Between us, I mean. I wrote to you this summer, as I always do. And... well, you did not respond. Admittedly, very few did. But... If you are going to make me say it out loud, I miss you.

Penelope Featherington: You miss me? You miss me, but you'd never court me. Is that correct?

Colin Bridgerton: Pen, I...

Penelope Featherington: I overheard you... at my mama's ball last season, telling everyone how you would never ever court Penelope Featherington.

Colin Bridgerton: Perhaps we should talk somewhere more private?

Penelope Featherington: Because I embarrass you? Of course you would never court me. I am the laughingstock of the ton, even when I change my entire wardrobe. It just never occurred to me that you, of all people, could be so cruel.

Francesca Bridgerton (to Pen): You really ought to take to the floor again. It's difficult to come off the wall once you are on it.

Penelope Featherington: You do not much like attracting notice, do you?

Francesca Bridgerton: Not really. No.

Penelope Featherington: Perhaps that does make you rare. It seems as though every Bridgerton was born to attract notice in one way or another. I am... different from my siblings as well. It can be difficult, can it not?

Francesca Bridgerton: But they are wonderful, each of them.

Penelope Featherington: I know. You are lucky for that. And you are lucky to have so much notice. Even if it is trying. For some of us, notice is very slight.

Penelope Featherington: Did you not enjoy conversing with those gentlemen?

Francesca Bridgerton: I expected conversation. I did not expect to be inspected as if I were some rare insect writhing under a microscope.

Penelope Featherington: You really ought to take to the floor again.

Francesca Bridgerton: Ought I?

Penelope Featherington: Once one finds oneself on the wall, it is difficult to come off it. No matter what one does.

Francesca Bridgerton: At least the wall is not asking what makes me tick.

Lady Danbury: There is some anxiety amongst the mamas that you have not yet selected a diamond.

Queen Charlotte: A diamond is precious precisely because it is rare. I throw one diamond ball, and anxious mamas expect a diamond every year. I threw a zebra ball once. Do they expect a new zebra each year?

Eloise Bridgerton: You genuinely enjoy embroidery?

Young Lady #1: Of course I do. There is simply so much one can do with it.

Eloise Bridgerton: For example?

Young Lady #1: Since you have asked... the stem stitch, tried and true. The straight stitch, running stitch, chain stitch.

Young Lady #2: The French knot, if one was feeling bold.

Young Lady #1: Oh, yes! The feather stitch, the fly stitch. Ooh! The detached chain stitch.

Young Lady #3: Do you not have a favorite, Miss Eloise?

Eloise Bridgerton: Wha... The... uh, shift stitch.

Cressida Cowper: I'm not familiar with that one.

Eloise Bridgerton: It's the one that shifts this conversation perhaps to something besides embroidery.

Young Lady #1: Oh! A jest... How clever.

Lord #1: Miss Featherington. A pleasure to see you.

Lord #2: What a striking gown you have on.

Penelope Featherington: You as well, my lord. Uh... Not the gown part, obviously. The first part. It is a pleasure to see you all in your proper evening dress, which is not at all gown-like.

Benedict Bridgerton: I am not one to complain about a mid-afternoon tipple, but what's the occasion?

Anthony Bridgerton: I wanted to thank you for taking care of the estate while I was on honeymoon. I was quite surprised to see every "t" crossed and "i" dotted.

Benedict Bridgerton: Well, I do not know whether to be moved or offended.

Anthony Bridgerton: Perhaps both?

Benedict Bridgerton: In truth, I enjoyed having a purpose. Whereas now that you're back, I'm not certain what I'm supposed to do exactly.

Eloise Bridgerton: Cressida surprised me this summer. She showed me kindness in the country when no one else would.

Colin Bridgerton: And what of Penelope?

Eloise Bridgerton: We have simply grown apart. Lady Whistledown nearly ruined me last season. I lost the battle, and I have no appetite for the war. I've joined the winning side. Not unlike you, I take it? Or is this truly the new you?

Colin Bridgerton: Hmm. A man cannot tell his secrets.

Eloise Bridgerton: Mmm... Must be lonely.

Genevieve Delacroix: What has brought about this sudden desire for change?

Penelope Featherington: I cannot live at home any longer. It's been hard enough living under my mother's rules. But my sisters... To live at the whim of either the most cruel or the most simple person I know... I must take a husband before that happens. It is time.

Penelope Featherington: I do not wish to see a citrus color ever again.

Genevieve Delacroix: Sour colors, indeed.

Portia Featherington (to Pen): I take comfort in knowing that you will always be here to take care of me.

Brimsley: Shall I fetch you a refreshment, Your Majesty?

Queen Charlotte: Perhaps a casket. The lack of interest here today shall usher me to an early grave at any moment.
