LADY EDITH: Do I look okay?

LADY MARY: You look very much like you just posed for a John Singer Sargent portrait.

LADY EDITH: ...and?

LADY MARY: It's a compliment, you dolt.

LADY EDITH: God, there's no need to be so Method.

LADY MARY: Sorry. I'm just tired of people asking me where Matthew is. HE ISN'T REAL, PEOPLE. I mean, he IS real. But HE'S not real.

LADY EDITH: The more you talk, the more perplexed my face gets.

LADY MARY: Speaking of, your face in real life is so much nicer than the face they give you on *Downton Abbey*.

LADY EDITH: Um, thanks? I like your dress quite a lot.

LADY MARY: AND...?

LADY EDITH: And the gloves have got to go. WE'RE NOT ON SET.

LADY MARY: AREN'T WE? HAVE YOU SEEN YOU?

LADY EDITH: THIS ISN'T PERIOD APPROPRIATE!

LADY MARY: Oh, whatever. You look nice. I hope this season you get to marry some nice handsome young man instead of a creepy old dude with enormous teeth who can barely muster up any enthusiasm for you.

LADY EDITH: You look nice, too. I hope this season Matthew's penis works correctly.

LADY MARY: The whole WORLD hopes that.
