Downton Abbey2010

Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham:
Are you really telling me that all the money is gone?

George Murray:
I'm afraid so.

Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham:
The lion's share of Cora's fortune? [Murray nods yes]

Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham:
I won't give in, Murray. I've sacrificed too much to Downton to give in now. I refuse to be the failure - the earl who dropped the torch and let the flame go out.

George Murray:
I hate to state the obvious, but if there's not enough money to run it, Downton must go... unless you break it up and sell it off piece-meal.

Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham:
I couldn't do that; I have a duty beyond saving my own skin. The estate must be a major employer and support the house, or there's no point to it - to any of it.
