Jocelyn Dashwood
- Glynnis Payne: [Takes a bite of her eggs] These eggs are positively glacial. When I run this house, senile servants will be the first thing to go.
- Clarissa: You'd have to get around the old bat somehow. She'd never allow it.
- Jocelyn Dashwood: [Enters the room] Anyone seen my pruning shears? The *old bat* seems to have forgotten where she put them.
- Henry Dashwood: Sorry, did you just say you've known about this your whole life?
- Daphne Reynolds: Yeah?
- Jocelyn Dashwood: Good. Well, now we've got that settled... How about some tea and a nice piece of fruitcake?
- Henry Dashwood: But your mother didn't feel I deserved the same consideration?
- Jocelyn Dashwood: [Quietly] No to the fruitcake, then.
- Henry Dashwood: [shouts] How could she keep something like this from me?
- Glynnis Payne: Excuse me, but what happened to the mistake theory we were operating on a moment ago?
- Daphne Reynolds: [Daphne turns to leave]
- Jocelyn Dashwood: No, wait a minute, Ducky!
- Jocelyn Dashwood: [to Daphne] The crown does not make the queen... .It's whats in here.
- [points at her heart]
- Jocelyn Dashwood: [to a depressed Henry; after Daphne returns to the United States] Our family has lost a piece of themselves, limbs, eyes, and ears, for their country. Don't follow in that glorious legacy, Henry. Do you know what you're going to lose?... Your Heart.
- [Daphne and Jocelyn are at a upper-class coming out party]
- Jocelyn Dashwood: Head up, Daphne. And never forget the family motto.
- Daphne Reynolds: Family motto? What is it?
- Jocelyn Dashwood: Qui Patitur Vincit.
- Daphne Reynolds: What does that mean?
- Jocelyn Dashwood: It means, ducky... Hang in there, and yeah'll rock!
