Downton Abbey2010

Isobel Crawley:
May I have a word?

Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham:
Can it wait?

Isobel Crawley:
No it cannot wait. I've just come from downstairs where I learned that my timetable has been wantonly disregarded.

Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham:
If you mean the new lunchtime, the wretched servants were having to eat at 11 and then starve until their tea at 6 so...

Isobel Crawley:
I also discovered that you tore up the nurses timetable.

Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham:
I haven't torn up anything.

Isobel Crawley:
Of course, it would be foolish to accuse you of being unprofessional since you've never had a profession in your life.

Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham:
Now, just a minute...

Isobel Crawley:
You may think you have the right to ordain the universe, but in this field...

Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham:
No, not in this field, in this house yes I do have the right given me by Dr Clarkson and by the law of the land. This is my house and I am in charge right alongside you and if you would stop your bullying...

Isobel Crawley:
That's enough. I will not listen to this. If I am not appreciated here I will seek some other place where I will make a difference.

Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham:
Good.

Isobel Crawley:
I mean it. I cannot operate where I am not valued. You must see that.

Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham:
Certainly.

Isobel Crawley:
I shall go. I will.

Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham:
Perhaps it would be best.

Isobel Crawley:
I repeat. I mean it.

Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham:
I'm sure you do. And so do I.
