- Oscar Wilde: Yes, I know, Mother.
- Lady Speranza Wilde: You'll fight these English philistines and you'll win! And even if you lose, if you go to prison, you'll always be my son.
- Oscar Wilde: Well, of course, it's too late to change that now.
- Lady Speranza Wilde: If you go, Oscar, I'll never speak to you again.
- Oscar Wilde: No one will ever speak to me again whatever I do. Of course I'm your son, which is why, even if I lose, the English will never forget me.
