• Anglican Bishop : [Seeing Danaher and Thornton enter Cohan's pub]  Is that a public house?

  Reverend Cyril Playfair : Yes, Your Lordship.

  Anglican Bishop : And are they going in?

  Reverend Cyril Playfair : Yes, Your Lordship.

  Anglican Bishop : [disappointed]  Does that mean the fight is over?

  Reverend Cyril Playfair : No, Your Lordship; it's just the end of round one.

• Reverend Cyril Playfair : [to Sean Thornton, during their private discussion about his troubles and the inevitable fight]  Oh by the way, *don't* underestimate Danaher... he may be clumsy, but he has a tremendous right and a jaw of granite.
