- Prince of Wales: Damn it, Percy! You may be brainless, spineless and useless, but, uh, ha, you do know clothes.
- Marguerite Blakeney: Are we really free, Percy?
- Sir Percy Blakeney: Not you, my darling. Chauvelin said that you would be free the moment that I die. Not a moment sooner.
- Chauvelin: [St. Juste enters, bleeding from the mouth] I see you have been speaking to the people, Citizen St. Juste. Perhaps you're not a very good speaker.
- Chauvelin: Citizeness, will you do me a service?
- Marguerite Blakeney: For you?
- Chauvelin: For France.
- Marguerite Blakeney: France is great. A small service for her may be too big for me. What is it?
- Chauvelin: Find me who is the Scarlet Pimpernel.
- Marguerite Blakeney: You are astonishing, Chauvelin! What for? If you did know who this Pimpernel is you could do nothing to him! An Englishman!
- Chauvelin: I will take my chance of that. We will send him to the guillotine first and apologise for it afterwards.
- Marguerite Blakeney: Where is my husband?
- Trubshaw: In France, my lady.
- Marguerite Blakeney: He is in the greatest danger! Chauvelin knows he is the Scarlet Pimpernel and has followed him to France!
- Trubshaw: Indeed, my lady, that might be dangerous, for Monsieur Chauvelin.
- Sir Percy Blakeney: If you really want to know how to tie a cravat, Messewer, I can show you.
- Chauvelin: Very interesting.
- Sir Percy Blakeney: Well mark you it isn't easy! Takes all me brain!
- Chauvelin: I'm sure it does, Sir Percy...
